Chapter 62
The consequence of a hangover is that when I wake up the next day, everything hurts, especially my head, which is like a thousand pounds, and my temples hurt when I pluck at them.
It doesn’t matter if you use your hands to beat it.
Su Orange held his breath and adjusted for a while or not, shuffled out of the bedroom with slippers, yawning while going to the bathroom.
After brushing her teeth and washing her face, she came out and saw Zhao Xiao Xiao staring at her, she yawned again and asked her, “What’s wrong?”
Zhao Xiao Xiao sat cross-legged on the sofa, elbows resting against her legs, hands resting on her cheeks and shaking her head, smiling with an otherworldly expression, “Nothing.”
Su Orange let out a cry, went back to the bedroom, changed her clothes and came out again, Zhao Xiao Xiao was still gazing at her with her hands on her cheeks.
Her eyes blinking and blinking, are about to blink off the good eyelashes, Su Orange yawned in half to stop, looked down at herself, sweater, long skirt, there is not the slightest thing wrong, she raised her head and asked, “What are you looking at in the end?”
Zhao Xiao Xiao gave her a starry-eyed look, and asked with a hey smile, “Remember what happened last night?”
Su Orange walked into the restaurant, pulled out a chair and sat down, while taking chopsticks, she recalled, last night she and Zhou Yuchen came out of the hospital and went to a barbecue restaurant, then she started to drink one glass at a time, and got drunk later on, and then had no recollection of what happened after that.
“Don’t remember.” She asked, “What happened last night?”
“Don’t remember a thing.” Zhao Xiao Xiao straightened up, “Think carefully.”
Su Orange thought again, she really didn’t remember, shaking her head again, “No impression, what happened last night?”
“What else could it be, you went crazy with alcohol.” Zhao Xiao Xiao tsked, “It’s the first time I’ve seen you playing drunk.”
“Me?” Su Orange was even more surprised than her, pointing at herself, “Playing drunk?”
“Yeah, you.” Zhao Xiao Xiao stood up from the sofa, stepped on her slippers and came to the dining room, sat opposite Su Orange, pushed the sobering soup towards her, and lamented, “Orange, I didn’t expect you to be quite …… drunk.”
She couldn’t find the words to describe it for a while, and after a long time, she said, “It’s quite active.”
How did that sound, Su Orange asked, “What did I do?”
Zhao Xiao Xiao stood up with the table propped up, then sat down on Su Orange’s side, looking at her with one hand on her cheek, her eyelashes quivering, “Do you want to know?”
“Uh-huh.” Su Orange nodded.
Zhao Xiao Xiao nuzzled, “You first drink the sobering soup.”
Su Orange did as she said, picked up the bowl and drank less than half of it, put it down, “Say it.”
“Then you have to hold up.” Zhao Xiao Xiao stifled her laughter, “It’s quite exciting anyway.”
Exciting?
What exactly did she do.
Su Orange’s temples burst into life and made a swallowing motion, “Say it, what’s wrong?”
In the back was Zhao Xiao Xiao’s passionate relay, “…… Really, I didn’t even expect you to be so brave, hugging Mr. Zhou and nibbling on him, but also going to pull his clothes, biting the knot of his throat, and when he wanted to leave in the back, you cried and didn’t want him to go.”
Su orange: “……”
Su Orange hummed twice in embarrassment, “Are you sure that was me?”
“I saw it with my own eyes.” Zhao Xiao Xiao straightened her back, “By the way, I also recorded a video.”
Su Orange’s hanging heart finally died, she stopped Zhao Xiao Xiao, “I believe what you said, I won’t watch the video.”
“Don’t, take a look.” Zhao Xiao Xiao insisted that she watch it, “Come on, enjoy it together.”
Seeing the back, Su Orange’s heart wanted to die, she usually seldom gets drunk, and when she does, she doesn’t play drunk, this is the first time.
Really want to find a crack in the ground.
She snatched the cell phone and snapped it on the table, raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, “Okay, it’s okay.”
Zhao Xiao Xiao was still there, “But ah, Mr. Zhou this person is really not bad, you scratched, scratched and bit him, he was not angry at all, but also softly coaxed you.”
“You’re going to eat ice cream, you’re not going home if you don’t.” Zhao Xiao Xiao’s nose made a sighing sound, “I thought he would get angry, but surprisingly he didn’t, and really bought the ice cream back for you.”
“You pestered him to eat it too, and even got it all over him, and he didn’t get angry.”
“Really, too gentle.”
Thinking about last night, Zhao Xiao Xiao’s eyes went hazy, “It’s the first time I’ve seen such a gentle man, how come he doesn’t have a temper at all. What you say is what you say.”
“The ice cream is not eaten, it has to be carried by others.”
“In front of the neighborhood, there are people coming and going, I’m embarrassed, guess what he did?” Zhao Xiao Xiao pushed Su Orange a little, raised her eyebrows, “Can you guess?”
Looking at her look Su Orange knew what Zhou Yuchen did, she pinched her eyebrows and sighed lightly, “Why don’t you stop me.”
“Then I have to stop ah.” Zhao Xiao Xiao bristled, “You don’t even let me touch it, you only let Mr. Zhou touch it.”
Speaking of which, Zhao Xiao Xiao had something to say again, “I don’t think the way Mr. Zhou looks at you is innocent at all, that’s not the way he looks at his ex-girlfriend and Party B.”
“Then what kind of eyes?” Su Orange asked.
“The look of looking at someone you like,” Zhao Xiaoxiao exaggerated, “He must have liked it a lot, or else he wouldn’t have been able to carry you in public and walk so far.”
“Right.” Zhao Xiao Xiao suddenly raised her voice, Su Orange’s heart thumped at her, just afraid that she would say something shocking again.
“What again?” Su Orange asked as she held back her heart palpitations.
“You even bit his ear.” Zhao Xiao Xiao recalled what happened after biting his ear with a mesmerized face.
Under the dim light, the man was wearing a black coat with his favorite woman on his back, and he was carrying her while coaxing something to her softly with a sideways glance.
The halo of light hit them with faint ripples, even the shadows reflecting on the ground were extraordinarily soft.
A few steps away were the swaying shadows of the trees, dappled and fragmented.
Farther away were endless streams of vehicles, lights flashing, vaguely connected to the stars in the sky, as if a long arc.
The moon is in the middle of the arc, this end of the year is quiet, that end is the starry river.
The picture was really eye catching, more eye catching than all those poster ones.
Su orange after listening to Zhao Xiao Xiao more and more groundless, hurriedly ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast, took a taxi to the company, on the way is still looking forward to, today it is best not to see Zhou Yuchen.
Better not.
God heard her prayers, this day Zhou Yuchen has been busy meeting the partner did not go to work.
In the afternoon, Su Orange received a call from Liu Mei, she was very happy and complimented Su Orange for doing well.
Su Orange slightly paused, “Director, did something happen?”
Liu Mei smiled and said, “Gali side replied, said it will push forward the cooperation as soon as possible, the details will be followed up by talks, and after the talks, it will be the signing of the contract. Su orange, good job.”
Su orange pursed lips, side eyes toward the president’s office to look over, Zhou Yuchen is not in today, the office did not turn on the lights, looking a little dark.
Liu Mei continued, “I will send you an electronic version of the contract, after you read it, then take it to Mr. Zhou to read it, and try to pass it once.”
Su orange: “Good.”
“Su Orange, again, this cooperation is very important, there must be no mistakes.” Liu Mei urged, “Make sure to do it right.”
Su Orange: “Director don’t worry, I will do my best.”
Liu Mei remembered something else and coughed lightly, “Right, you and Mr. Zhou…”
“Hmm?” Su Orange every heard, “What’s wrong with me and Mr. Zhou?”
“Oh, nothing.” Liu Mei said, “You represent Yanhai Design, do your job well.”
“Uh, I know.” Su Orange didn’t think carefully about Liu Mei’s desire to speak, simply thought she was just casually asking, she said, “Don’t worry, I will work well.”
After a calm day, something happened in the evening.
After adding the end of the end, Su Orange carried her bag out of the company, before she could walk a few steps, her cell phone rang, it was Yu Lele’s call.
She smiled and picked up, “Lele.”
Yu Lele’s crying voice came from the other end of the receiver, “Orange.”
Su Orange frowned, “What’s wrong?”
“Zhang Yang has stepped on two boats.” Yu Lele cried, “He is having an affair with another woman, I don’t want him anymore.”
“Where are you?”
“Outside.”
“Send me the location, I’ll go find you.” Su Orange admonished, “Don’t go anywhere before I go over.”
“Orange, I don’t want to live.” Yu Lele choked and said, “I love him so much, how can he do this to me.”
The beginning and end of the matter Su Orange was still unclear, she could only comfort, “Lele, don’t do anything stupid, in case it’s a mistake.”
“It won’t be wrong, I’ve seen the messages they sent.” Yu Lele huffed and puffed, her voice trembled, “That woman asked him if he liked her, he said yes.”
“Orange, is it true that school romances can’t compete with reality?”
“Then what was my persistence all these years.”
“What is it for me to fight with my family for him.”
“Orange, I’m really sad.”
“Lele, listen to me, calm down first,” the cab pulled up to the curb, Su Orange pulled open the door and sat in, reported the address and then continued to persuade, “It could be that you’re looking at it the wrong way, or maybe there’s some other reason, but whatever it is, you can’t do anything stupid.”
“Joy, love isn’t all there is to life, we can still live without them.”
“Be obedient and wait for me.”
After a long time, Yu Lele finally loosened her mouth, “Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
Su Orange let out a long breath, “I’ll be right there.”
Things were not like what Yu Lele thought, but Zhang Yang did do something that crossed the line and had an affair with the new female colleague.
To be exact, the female colleague has been actively provoking him, initially Zhang Yang has been avoided, and then a certain departmental dinner he drank too much wine, the female colleague sent him ambiguous information, asked him whether he likes her, he brain a jerk, back to the two words: like.
The next day on a business trip, even gone for five days, the back of this to forget, and the female colleague teased him for two days, see him really do not take the bait to give up.
Zhang Yang Ma Da Haha, WeChat also forgot to delete so have been left.
Just Zhang Yang cooking in the kitchen, the phone rang, Yu Lele helped him answer the phone, after the end of the call, she inadvertently clicked into the WeChat, just to see the chat records.
Yu Lele had a fight with Zhang Yang and ran out of the rental room.
Su Orange brought Yu Lele home, listened to her tell the whole story, and asked her, “What are you going to do?”
Yu Lele hugged the cushion, eyes flushed red, self-deprecating smile, “Orange you know, originally we two also intend to go to look at the house in the next few days, choose a suitable first to settle, the next step is to get a license to get married, I told him, you can not do the wedding, travel to get married on it.”
“I don’t want money or a house, I just want him to be good to me.”
“But–” Yu Lele cried out, flung herself into Su Orange’s arms, “How can he not even do this.”
Su Orange painfully hugged her tightly, patted her back and softly said, “Don’t be sad, it will pass.”
Yu Lele was so upset that she didn’t even eat, so she laid down on the bed and fell asleep. Zhao Xiao Xiao came back from work and heard about this incident and was even more angry than the person involved.
“Orange, this classmate of yours is so ungrateful. How can you do this, that’s not eight days, it’s eight years.”
“If my boyfriend dared to do this to me, I would castrate him.”
Su Orange gave Zhao Xiao Xiao a wink, signaling her to keep her voice down, Zhao Xiao Xiao pursed her lips, “Anyway, ah, it can’t be forgiven so easily.”
Words just said this, Su orange cell phone rang, Zhang Yang called, she pretended not to see it, did not answer.
The ringing ended after a long time, not long after, it rang again, this time the caller ID: Z.
It was Su Orange’s note to Zhou Yuchen, she looked at the closed bedroom door, took her cell phone and went to the balcony, leaned against the glass window and answered the call, “Hello.”
Zhou Yuchen: “Have you eaten yet?”
“No.” She said, “No appetite.”
Zhou Yuchen threw away the cigarette in his hand, tilted his head and looked at the lighted glass window, said in a warm voice, “Not eat, eat together?”
October weather, the night temperature is low, the glass window flooded with coolness, Su Orange fingertips touched the moment of shrinkage, the voice also followed the stop, “do not want to eat.”
“Because of Yu Lele?” Zhou Yuchen leaned against the car door, his voice softened, “She doesn’t eat, so you don’t eat either?”
“Do you still have something to do?” Su Orange didn’t want to chat, “I’m hanging up if there’s nothing.”
“Su Orange,” Zhou Yuchen called out to her, asking through a sense of helplessness, “Even sitting again?”
“Zhang Yang’s mistake should be attributed to me as well?” He said, “Wouldn’t that be too unfair.”
One can only say that Zhou Yuchen understands Su Orange too well, Su Orange does have that thought in his heart, “You are his good buddy.”
“I’m not his father, I can’t control him.” Zhou Yuchen’s throat rolled, “Do you want Yu Lele to be good? If you want to, call her down with you, let’s talk face to face.”
In the end, Su Orange and Yu Lele didn’t go down, Zhou Yuchen and Zhang Yang came up together, and the four of them talked in the living room, Zhao Xiaoxiao couldn’t conveniently watch, and casually found a reason to leave.
At first no one said anything, just like that dry eyes watching, then it was Zhou Yuchen who first broke the silence, “Zhang Yang, what do you have to say?”
Zhang Yang had injuries on his face and the corners of his lips, he hissed, kneeling on one knee in front of Yu Lele, holding her hand, “Lele, I was wrong, I won’t dare to do it again next time, you forgive me once, right?”
“Don’t you touch me.” Yu Lele shook off his hand and said with red eyes, “It’s too dirty.”
“Yes, I’m dirty, I deserve to die,” Zhang Yang didn’t dare to touch her, his hand froze there, his fingertips shrinking, “Lele, please, forgive me this time.”
“I really didn’t have anything with her, I was just drunk that night, I thought it was you who sent the message.”
“Me?” Yu Lele snorted lightly, “Are you blind?”
“Yes yes yes, I’m blind.” Zhang Yang explained, “I don’t have the slightest idea about her, I only like you.”
He grabbed onto Yu Lele’s hand, “Lele, please.”
Zhou Yuchen covered his lips and coughed, Su Orange looked over, he raised an eyebrow, the two of them stood up together, lifting their feet and walking into the kitchen.
The kitchen is not open, there is a glass door, Zhou Yuchen smoothly closed it and asked Su Orange, “What’s in the refrigerator?”
Su Orange asked back, “What are you doing?”
“Making dinner.” Zhou Yuchen opens the refrigerator, in addition to milk there are only eggs and hanging noodles left, “Cooking hanging noodles for dinner?”
“Eat.” Su Orange asked, “Want to help?”
“Yes.” Zhou Yuchen holds three eggs in one hand and the bag containing the noodles in the other, slowly walking in front of her, until the shadow covers her, he stops, the hand carrying the noodles is stuck to her arm propped up on the glazed countertop at the back, as if he’s confined her to his own embrace.
Head slightly lowered, shoulders slumping loosely, he locked her eyes and asked, “Where’s the apron?”
“Huh?” Su Orange’s nostrils were filled with the crisp minty scent of his body, it was very uptight, her thoughts were a little confused, and her reaction was slow, raising her eyes to look straight at him, “What?”
“The apron.” Zhou Yuchen smoothly placed the eggs on a plate half an arm’s length away, his hand retracted, against her other side, vainly sticking, “I’m going to bring it.”
Su Orange reacted as an afterthought, “Ah, apron, there.”
She wanted to turn around to get the apron, but he was leaning too close, her teeth biting her lip, “Can you back off a bit, I have no way to get it if you’re like this.”
Zhou Yuchen didn’t move, locking straight into her eyes.
Su Orange was a little hot, a fine sweat rose from the side of her neck there, she asked again, “Can you back off?”
Zhou Yuchen lazily hmmm’d, withdrew his hand, took two steps back, inclined his head to scrutinize her, his eyes all soft and affectionate.
Every time he looked at someone with that kind of affectionate eyes, Su Orange would be flustered, pursing her lips and making a swallowing motion, she hurriedly turned around, opened the cabinet door above her, and stood on tiptoe to get the apron that she had never worn.
The apron is placed too far in, no matter how she reaches can not reach, just about to give up, the back of someone close up.
A gentle touch on her back, warmth flowing through her clothes.
This instant senses are amplified, the light seems to be hazy for a few minutes, the reflection of the figure on the cabinet door is blurred, can only see an outline.
Su Orange watched as the owner of the shadow slowly stretched out his hand, and in the next second, a friction sensation came from both sides of her cheeks as his arm pressed against her face.
She shuddered violently, did not dare to move, holding her breath levy froze.
The man’s cold white long fingers pressed the cabinet door, while easily reached the apron, hand retracted, vaguely also touched the side of her neck, where it seems like there is electric current through, tingling a piece.
Vaguely she remembered last night’s kiss, it seems to be the same feeling, tingly.
Su Orange’s consciousness was wandering when a more intense argument suddenly came from the living room, it was Yu Lele’s voice, she was crying, while crying, she questioned Zhang Yang, “Do you still have a heart?”
Su Orange was instantly awakened, as if falling from the floating clouds to the ground, the meandering images of the party disappeared like a mirage.
The ambiguity also shattered with it.
She turned around with a sullen face and pushed Zhou Yuchen away, “It’s okay.”
Zhou Yuchen was not expected to stagger two steps to stand still, hand back when accidentally touched the plate, the plate is okay, but the eggs inside fell to the ground and broke.
The yolk flowed everywhere.
Su Orange’s face was indescribably bad, looking at Zhou Yuchen’s eyes cold and detached without the slightest ripple.
She wasn’t sure what Yu Lele and Zhang Yang were arguing about, and was worried, and lost the desire to talk to Zhou Yuchen, turning around and heading out.
When she touched the doorknob, she was taken into her arms.
Zhou Yuchen’s hands were strong, tightly shackled her, itching to rub her into his body, he used his lips to touch the back of her ear, touching the side of her neck, and said in a trembling voice, “Do you have to be so hot and cold to me?”
