Chapter 43 Return to Yingjiang Together
Outside the conference room, the middle and senior management who filed out all had solemn expressions. Although there were a lot of people, the corridor was unusually quiet. After the crowd dispersed, Zhou Cheng knocked on the door and walked in.
He Zhu was sorting out documents. When he saw Zhou Cheng coming in, he quickened his pace and immediately stood up and left.
"Are you done?" Zhou Cheng sat next to him.
Su Qingyan glanced at him without saying anything.
"The tickets are for after 7 o'clock. Let's go there after dinner?" Zhou Cheng wanted to go over and hold his hand, but Su Qingyan dodged him again.
"Can't you see I'm busy?" Su Qingyan turned off the computer and stood up.
"Don't be angry, it won't happen again." Zhou Cheng wanted to stand up with him, but he pulled his bruised waist again.
"Are you...are you okay?" Su Qingyan supported him.
"It's okay." Zhou Cheng took Su Qingyan in his arms and said, "Didn't you say you wanted to go home with me? Can I take you home?"
"Um..." Su Qingyan agreed awkwardly.
Lu Ze, who was still eavesdropping at the door, gave a thumbs up. This self-torture trick was really well played.
"Let's go. You'll be in trouble if Mr. Su sees you." He Zhu whispered to Lu Ze.
Su Qingyan reluctantly boarded the high-speed train with a cold face throughout the whole journey. He responded to Zhou Cheng with "hmm" and "ah" and scolded Lu Ze. In the end, he told them to shut up, covered their heads with blankets and went to sleep.
-How about you try the self-torture trick again and pretend to faint?
Lu Ze quickly typed on the keyboard to send a message to Zhou Cheng.
-…I’m not using any self-torture tactics, I’m really in pain.
Zhou Cheng replied helplessly.
-? !
-I thought you were pretending.
-What should we do now? Should we go to the hospital?
Lu Ze sent several messages in a row, then looked up at Zhou Cheng worriedly.
-Don't worry about me...I'm sleeping.
After sending the message, Zhou Cheng also closed his eyes. Su Qingyan could usually tolerate Lu Ze, but she was really harsh on herself.
At 10:30 pm, the high-speed train arrived at Yingjiang Station. Su Qingyan stood at the exit, looking outside and said, "I won't take a taxi."
Yingjiang is indeed colder than Mincheng. The biting north wind is howling, blowing up the snow on the roadside.
"Don't worry about that, Ma-Zhou... The doctor has already booked a car. Let's go. It's too cold standing here." Lu Ze was warned twice by the eyes for his words.
Zhou Cheng didn't say anything and tied the scarf around Su Qingyan's neck. Su Qingyan lowered her eyes and didn't look at him.
As soon as Su Qingyan left the station, he wanted to go home immediately. The biting cold wind cut his face like a knife, and he felt like his ears were about to freeze off. He shivered and stuffed his hands into his pockets. Zhou Cheng stopped, turned around, pulled Su Qingyan's scarf upwards, and put the hood of his down jacket on him, wrapping him up tightly, leaving only his eyes exposed.
"The car is just ahead and will be here soon."
Knowing that Su Qingyan was very afraid of the cold, Zhou Cheng put his arm around his shoulders and walked forward with him.
Lu Ze felt that his heart was colder than the minus 20 degrees Celsius temperature. He sniffed and could only hug himself to keep warm.
When they got to the car, Lu Ze tactfully left the back seat for them, but Su Qingyan sat right next to him, staring out the window without saying a word. The car was a bit too quiet. The driver looked at the blond, blue-eyed foreigner sitting next to him, feeling awkward and not knowing what to say, so he just put on a random song.
Fortunately, they arrived at their destination soon. Su Qingyan spoke only when he arrived at the hotel front desk.
"You want us to stay in a hotel and go home by ourselves?"
The tone was sarcastic and aggressive.
"I live here too." Zhou Cheng answered truthfully.
"You're still staying in a hotel after returning home?" Su Qingyan thought Zhou Cheng was crazy again.
"I didn't tell my family I was back."
Hearing Zhou Cheng say this, Su Qingyan snorted. You didn’t tell anyone that you came back? You are really something.
"Sir, two standard rooms, right?" the hotel receptionist asked after taking Zhou Cheng's ID card and checking it.
"You want me to stay in a standard room?" Su Qingyan asked Zhou Cheng in disbelief.
"Two suites, please confirm again."
Zhou Cheng was not crazy because of poverty, so he didn't dare let Su Qingyan stay in a standard room.
"I'm sorry, sir. Because the suite is fully booked, the system has defaulted to a standard room. Is that okay?" The receptionist checked again and said to Zhou Cheng.
"Where is the double room?" Zhou Cheng saw that Su Qingyan's face was becoming increasingly gloomy.
"There's another king-size room."
"I can sleep in a standard room." Lu Ze quickly came to the rescue.
After checking in, Su Qingyan took the room card and left immediately.
"Hurry up and go... Don't just stand there like an idiot. I'm on a completely different level from you guys." Lu Ze was getting anxious. He wondered if Zhou Cheng would ever fall in love. Why did he always seem to be so clueless at the critical moment?
Zhou Cheng was about to catch the elevator. Su Qingyan was a little surprised to see him rushing in. She had never seen him so flustered before.
"I don't want to sleep in the same bed with you." Su Qingyan suddenly spoke when the elevator was about to reach the floor.
"You said you couldn't sleep alone the day before yesterday." Zhou Cheng said in a low voice.
"The day before yesterday was the day before yesterday, and now is now."
How shameless of you to even bring that up.
"Xiao Su..." Zhou Cheng grabbed his wrist.
"Zhou Cheng, do you think that no matter what you do, I will indulge you, and if you coax me, I will come back to you?"
"I..." Zhou Cheng wanted to refute, but found that he really thought so.
Su Qingyan shook off the hand he was holding, walked out immediately after the elevator door opened, and then heard a familiar voice at the corner of the elevator.
"...I can't go back recently. Xiao Han's wedding... handle it yourself. I've already asked for leave from HR... Can't you even handle this yourself? I'm just feeding you guys for free?"
Zhou Cheng chased out and tried to pull Su Qingyan's arm again. Feng Junchi heard the footsteps and turned around to take a look without saying anything.
How did I meet him here?
The three people present were stunned. Feng Junchi hung up the phone, and Zhou Cheng let go of Su Qingyan awkwardly, while Su Qingyan's face became increasingly gloomy.
Xiao Han's wedding? Zhou Cheng didn't come back to attend his wedding, did he?
Su Qingyan glared at Zhou Cheng again, pursed her lips, and walked away without saying anything.
"Doctor Zhou, are you also here to attend Xiao Han's wedding?" Feng Junchi really couldn't think of any other reason to meet Zhou Cheng at this time.
"It's a personal matter..." Zhou Cheng didn't explain much and went after Su Qingyan again.
They were in love a few days ago, but now they are arguing. It's really wonderful to fall in love with a child.
Seeing that they had walked away, Feng Junchi prepared to go back and tell Xiao Han some more gossip to ease his anxiety.
