Chapter 103
Chapter 103
The years of most people are doomed to be worthless. Time is like a river, and even when it flows, it can't make waves, so there is nothing to commemorate.
After boarding Wen Xu's boat, he asked himself a lot of new things. If he really wanted to talk about it, Cheng Juan could talk about it for a long time.But she didn't want to talk, she didn't tell anyone about her and Wen Xu.
It is impossible for the family to know, let alone others, Wen Xu is just her boss in the eyes of most people.
But that extra care is given too much, and Wen Xu is always bumped into when going in and out, and Wen Xu refuses to restrain herself. Does she still want to avoid others in her territory?
So when there are occasional rumors, Cheng Juan pretends not to hear them. Anyway, if anyone wants to work here, no one will come to her and talk nonsense in front of her.
Cheng Juan didn't want to summarize or recall everything about her and Wen Xu, it wasn't bad, but it was too good.It seems that it has nothing to do with the word Liu Chengjuan.
Every time I'm with Wen Xu, it's like falling into a blurred dream, she seems to be playing another role, not herself.
That character is subtly passionate, addicted to sensuality, palpitating and delighted by the words, deeds and frowns of the person next to the pillow.
But after leaving, Liu Chengjuan was a dignified and cautious person, as if he had borrowed it out of thin air and lived for five years, calmly and excessively.
Unable to see her like this, Wen Xu wanted to ask a few embarrassing words, asking her which position she likes to be in.
above or
Cheng Juan wrapped up his nightgown, tidied up, and replied in a good voice: "Anything is fine."
Her tone was not perfunctory, she could answer the questions seriously, as long as Wen Xu liked it, she would do it.There are only those things between the beds, and there are no items that are difficult to deal with, so she can cooperate with them.
But Wen Xu didn't appreciate her thoughtfulness, because there was no emotion in it, only skills.
She is like going to work, studious and hardworking, and knows how to please the boss, but the purpose is for the salary behind it.No one owes it to say "I love going to work."
So no matter how many times they warm each other, the relationship between the two remains in place, like a stagnant pool of water.The occasional boil for a while is almost negligible.
But no one cares, Cheng Juan is a qualified debtor, and he is not proud of not paying back the money and giving the money from the uncle.
Wen Xu, on the other hand, is a conscientious capitalist, he is very measured when it comes to squeezing people, and he has a lot of business.
I won't go into details about the life that can be taken away, Cheng Juan felt that there were happy waves in life, and it was the day Sheng Qi contacted her.
When she saw the friend application, she was so happy that she laughed on the spot.
Wen Xu rarely saw her like this, curious: "What happy event?"
She was wearing Cheng Juan's pajamas, and she drove here on a whim last night.Before opening the door, Cheng Juan was about to go to sleep, but he was not impatient with this unexpected guest, and politely called out: "Mr. Wen."
Wen Xu smiled sweetly, "Would you like to work overtime?"
The standard of her joke was overtaken by Cheng Juan, Cheng Juan didn't reply to her, and changed the subject: "Do you want to eat supper? Or just go to sleep?"
Wen Xu originally thought that if she was caught working overtime, if she didn't show it on the face, she would definitely be unhappy in her heart, and would probably be perfunctory.As a result, after washing and going to bed, when the light was turned off, her waist was almost broken by her.
She was more diligent than usual, and Wen Xu heard her say solemnly in the bumps: "I have always been willing to work overtime for free."
This sentence inexplicably killed Wen Xu, and he suddenly bit his head and bit the corner of the pillow to counteract the strong sense of rising and falling.
Cheng Juan gently pulled out the piece of cotton cloth, "Boss Wen, you can bite me."
At this moment, Wen Xu was lax and lazy, sitting in a chair with little energy, eating the breakfast made by Cheng Juan.Seeing Cheng Juan smiling comfortably, she also smiled.
Cheng Juan said to her: "A friend who had been out of touch for several years contacted me."
"Borrow money?" Wen Xu yawned and made a joke.
Generally speaking, when people who have not been in contact with you for a long time come to you suddenly, it is probably not a good thing, either it is a lie.So she temporarily forgot Cheng Juan's joy just now, and made a joke without thinking.
She can make jokes about herself, but when she said Sheng Qi like this, Cheng Juan was not happy, and his face darkened slightly, "No."
Not only did Sheng Qi refuse to borrow money, on the contrary, the 5000 yuan she owed Sheng Qi was finally repaid.But she didn't want to tell Wen Xu about this, and she was afraid of saying it. Wen Xu felt that she was borrowing money everywhere, and then it would arouse unnecessary suspicion.
Her suddenly cold face made Wen Xu realize that this joke is suitable for others, but not for Cheng Juan.
The two of them were tied together because of borrowing money.
She finds it interesting because she is a enjoyer, she has plenty of money, and she can afford it and let go.Not necessarily Cheng Juan, and Cheng Juan didn't accompany her for fun.
The money owed has not been repaid, and she is probably dying of worry.
Does the unpaid overtime work and the sumptuous breakfast at this time have much to do with her, Wen Xu?If someone had given Liu Chengjuan money at the time, she would still be able to serve others.
Thinking of this, Wen Xu's face also became ugly, and the food in his mouth lost its taste.
Both of them are bored, neither of them has the intention of coaxing the other, and neither has any obligation.
Wen Xu still thought about going to bed after breakfast. He just played here today, and now he lost interest. He put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and went into the room to change clothes.
After getting dressed, he didn't say hello to Cheng Juan and changed the place to play.
Cheng Juan heaved a sigh of relief and cleaned up the house, threw the pillowcase and quilt into the washing machine and started working.
On the surface, the most important thing is to make Wen Xu happy. That spendthrift is like water, and when he rolls his eyes, he will be rewarded.But she knew that it was more valuable to spend time on self-improvement.
One's own things can't escape, and sooner or later what others reward will be lost.
After that incident that didn't even count as a quarrel, Wen Xu's attitude towards her was indifferent, and only work exchanges were left.
Wen Xu only called her out once a month, and it was at the hotel on the first night, Cheng Juan endured the worry in his heart and went about his business.She devoted herself seriously, and Wen Xu enjoyed it quietly.
After Wen Xu answered the phone, she didn't bother to avoid it. She just got out of bed and sat at the table, answering the call, and opened a bottle of water to drink.
Cheng Juan is not interested in her affairs, but after all she can't close her ears, the flirtatious words slip into her ears lightly.
"Not tonight, don't make trouble, I will accompany you tomorrow night."
"I'm at home now, I'm resting, I don't want to go out again...Of course I'm alone."
"Oh, your birthday is coming. What do you want? Oh, too greedy."
Her tone is doting, soft and soft.Cheng Juan thought that she also used the same tone when teasing the cats and dogs at home.
Well, when she teases herself too.
After hanging up the phone, the smile on Wen Xu's face faded, and he thought for a while and asked Cheng Juan: "Your birthday is coming soon, what do you want?"
Not greedy for her gifts, Cheng Juan shook his head, "I don't have anything I want."
"People want to make a list to kill me, why don't you want anything?" Wen Xu couldn't help wondering.
But she didn't really want to ask why, and it wasn't the first day she knew Liu Chengjuan, so she knew that he was a girl with low material desires.She just didn't understand why Chengjuan was different and why Liu Chengjuan wouldn't change?
After suffering and getting used to the prosperity, she can still keep her own bottom line dutifully.
She clearly knew that if she gave her more, she would be able to relax.In her family, the mother is weak, the father is old, the younger brother is ineffective, and the younger sister is still young, and they will be burdens in the future.
why she never?Be bold and ask for gifts like any young girl who knows she's attractive.
Not only did she not, she was still saving a fortune and wanted to return that money to herself.
At first it was fun, but now Wen Xu is no longer heartless, after a few years, she and Liu Chengjuan have become acquaintances.Since she was an acquaintance, she had to consider for others, so she became confused.
Liu Chengjuan is not stupid, nor is she too arrogant to play, occasionally she makes some exorbitant demands, and Chengjuan is willing to do so.
But why she can't think about money, as long as she coaxes, Wen Xu can completely pretend to be a fool with a lot of money to deceive her.
After all, they are acquaintances.
Cheng Juan didn't know what she was thinking, she was just thinking, if she refused, it would probably disappoint her, and she was not happy.So according to the simplest way, "Whatever you give her, just give me the same one. If it is too expensive, just replace it with a cheap one."
Don't fight or grab, it's really considerate.
Wen Xu thought she was testing, so he narrowed his eyes: "Do you know who she is?"
Cheng Juan frowned slightly, and looked at her puzzledly: "How would I know?"
The friends and lovers around Wen Xu changed frequently, she didn't have a channel to understand them one by one, and she wasn't happy to spend her time remembering unimportant people.
"I just heard you said that you want to give someone a gift. If you plan to give it to me, it's more convenient to buy it together."
Buy it together, do you think you are a wholesaler, and buy gifts every day when you are full.
Wen Xu didn't talk to her again, which was a big spoiler, so it's better to ignore it.
Cheng Juan thought in silence, if Wen Xu really liked that woman, it would be good to divert her attention.Now that we see each other once a month, she feels much more at ease.
In the future, it may become once every two months, once every six months, or they may just leave.
Fantasies are always beautiful, but Wen Xu's novelty towards others seems to have passed very quickly, and she never answered the relevant calls after that.
On her birthday, Wen Xu accompanied her at noon and sent her to her home in the countryside after get off work in the evening.
She deliberately rolled down the car window so that people could see that she was a woman, "It's a few steps away, you can go on your own, I'm going back."
Cheng Juan said, "Drive carefully."
She nodded: "I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Need not."
"It's okay, it's not convenient here, I don't want you to squeeze the bus."
The dinner at home was ready, and the cake was brought back by Cheng Juan. The family of five felt precious happiness in the warm atmosphere.
Asked who sent her back, she said it was her boss who happened to be in the country on business and took her for a ride.The family is convinced.
Cheng Juan thought, compared to what money can buy, Wen Xu's willingness to drive an hour and a half after get off work to take her home for dinner is the best gift.
Probably since then, a small piece of her solid line of defense seemed to be missing, and some substances she didn't realize were filled in.
She began to want to think about Wen Xu more, in places other than the bedroom.But unfortunately, when she was not interested in Wen Xu, she lived comfortably.When she looked into it, she was often depressed.
This phenomenon is very strange. She thought about it for a while, thinking wildly would lead to internal friction, and she shouldn't have paid attention to Wen Xu.
So she forced herself to withdraw unnecessary thoughts.
Once Wen Xu rejected other rounds in front of her, she was secretly disappointed, because if Wen Xu left now, she could have a relatively easy night.
You don't have to struggle between coveting this warmth and forcing yourself to be calm.
Wen Xu saw through it at a glance: "I'm staying, are you a little disappointed?"
"No." Cheng Juan lied, she had to lie because she didn't want Wen Xu to be angry.
But if her lie was found out, Wen Xu would also be angry.That night, Wen Xu didn't hide his tricks, and used them all over her.
Finally, she said in a weak voice, "Mr. Wen, I want to sleep."
Wen Xu no longer punished her.
Cheng Juan felt drowsy at that time, but her consciousness became active, and she realized that she didn't even need to be coquettish, and she didn't need to please.No matter what she said, Wen Xu would listen to her and do it.
how come?
Xianxin came out of nowhere, and she opened her eyes, "Suddenly want to drink yogurt."
Wen Xu wondered that she was sleepy and wanted to drink, but didn't say much, "Wait."
I put on my clothes and went to get it from the refrigerator. When I came back, I said, "Fortunately, I held back my hunger at night and drank all of it. Otherwise, I would have to place an order temporarily."
The momentary happiness was like a fleeting meteor, which quickly turned into a big black curtain and enveloped her.
On the day he agreed to accompany Wen Xu, Cheng Juan was not so afraid.
And at that time, seeing Wen Xu lift the quilt and get out of bed, and said "wait", Cheng Juan clearly felt fear.
Her character suddenly became funny, why, just because someone went to fetch her a can of yogurt before going to bed, should she be grateful to Dade?She is not so lacking in love.
But it's useless for her to hurt herself like this, people are complicated and uncontrollable.
In the fall of the second year of graduation, Cheng Juan's mother passed away without warning.Or maybe there are signs, but they are hiding from her. Everyone knows that the burden on her is too heavy, and they don't want her to bother her anymore.
Suddenly one of the pillars supporting her was missing, Cheng Juan was too depressed to get out, and everything became dull.
What is the reason for her mother's strong support for decades? If people must live like this, isn't it too cruel?
It was people like them who were cruel, and Wen Xu would never have encountered such a thing.
She asked for leave and didn't go to work.
During this period, Wen Xu didn't bother her, but just offered condolences.
She knew that Wen Xu was sensible, and he bullied people vigorously when he was able to bully, he was willful and naive.But at this time, she will not come to find a sense of existence, knowing that no one is used to her.
A week later, Cheng Juan returned to the studio, feeling a bit like a walking dead.
Wen Xu wanted to comfort her, but she refused. Since then, she hasn't approached her again, and she didn't take the initiative.
The death of her mother was both an end and a beginning for her, and she decided to change jobs.
Leaving Wen Xu's protection and no longer seeking stability, she wanted to break through.
When she made the request, Wen Xu wasn't surprised at all, his expression almost said: "Whatever you say is what you say."
Cheng Juan looked desperate, she didn't want Wen Xu to treat her like this, even if Wen Xu said coldly, "Why do you leave, I won't allow it" would make her feel better.
But Wen Xu is willing to listen to her. Wen Xu, a bastard, still has to pretend to be gentle, so she might as well not be gentle.
The more this happened, the more she wanted to leave.
Wen Xu said: "The wages are reduced, or is there a lot of pressure? There is room for negotiation. I remember that we have a very good relationship."
"None." Cheng Juan said sternly, "I need my own work and life, and I can't rely on you forever."
These words made Wen Xu's smile disappear: "Liu Chengjuan, are you telling me it's over?"
Cheng Juan was at a loss.
Wen Xu pointed it out: "At the beginning you asked me to borrow money for your mother. Now that she is gone, you are very sad. I'm afraid you don't want to continue to perfuse me."
She didn't expect that, and Cheng Juan shook his head: "The money and love owed will not disappear because of my mother's death, and I will not be ungrateful. The money of relatives and friends will be paid back, and so will yours."
"Ingratitude..." Wen Xu repeated, feeling, "You have really high moral requirements on yourself."
Cheng Juan ignored Wen Xu's cynicism, "If you want in the future, I will still accompany you."
Wen Xu admired her spirit of contract is really strong.
Seeing her calm face, Wen Xu was not at all happy.
How could there be someone like Liu Chengjuan?
She would rather Liu Chengjuan play a rogue, and stop here, and won't accompany her in the future.Nor should she so calmly promise not to be "ungrateful."
It's not that she, Wen Xu, is abusive, she likes to trouble herself, she just finds it boring.
I thought I could play the trick of taking by force.
Wen Xu was indeed a little unhappy, which stemmed from her narcissism and arrogance.I always feel that Liu Chengjuan has to like her if he puts his heart into it.But if you think about it calmly, if the relationship really deteriorates, there will be endless troubles.
She doesn't want to fall in love, to be stable for one person, give up everything, and announce to everyone that this is the only one for the rest of my life.Obviously she didn't believe it herself.
No emotion lasts forever, no "only" exists.
It's good that Cheng Juan is like this.
She convinced herself so.
