Sheng Yiqing was stunned for a moment, and took the box into the house.
When she opened the door, she found that the door lock made a "click" sound, but she didn't care. This apartment was rented, and the original landlord still used the old mortise lock, and she was too lazy to change it.
She put the box on the table and looked at the card again, "Yu Yue?", opened the package, and was stunned-
It turned out to be a 5-inch red velvet cake.
She was a little wary and hesitated whether to throw it away. However, the cake looked really tempting. After thinking about it, she stretched out her finger and touched it, and licked it with the tip of her tongue. It was sweet, but not greasy.
Looking in the direction of the door again, she thought that this man was quite good at dealing with things. The cake tasted good. She took a look at the package and found that the box was empty, without even a logo. A weird idea came to her mind:
Could he have made it himself?
So the man named Yu Yue... is a cook?
She didn't think too much about it. She got a dessert for nothing, so she simply asked the takeaway to deliver two more cups of iced Americano. She turned on the computer and flipped through the due diligence materials. She took a spoonful of cake and a sip of coffee, filling her head and mouth.
Mr. Xie urged her again today, and his tone became more serious each time.
Sheng Yiqing knew without him saying that the matter of Beauty Unlimited could not be delayed any longer. They would have a meeting with customers to discuss the OSS chapter next Wednesday. Sun Ning would be present at the meeting. She originally favored Xinda more. If they did nothing, Xinda would basically take the leadbank this time.
Sheng Yiqing calculated for a week. Now her only contact with Sun Ning was the whitening cabin. According to the due diligence materials, this new product was developed and launched by Sun Ning and is currently in the promotion stage. She even considered asking Qiu Zining to help shoot a video promotion to gain Sun Ning's favor. However, after asking Qiu Zining about the friends and relatives price of the advertisement, she immediately gave up-
Half a month's salary. It's not worth it for a worker.
Thinking of this, she decided to talk to Chen Zhuan again, maybe she could start with the whitening cabin. However, this man, since he said he was busy with work, has only sent her WeChat messages in the past two days. Whenever she asked him to meet, he refused.
Sheng Yiqing noticed something strange and consulted Qiu Zining. Qiu Zining immediately judged Chen Zhuan as cheating and suggested immediate execution. Sheng Yiqing sneered to express her disdain, threw away her phone and went to take a shower. When the shower head was turned on, Qiu Zining's words came to her mind again: "Men are very simple. If they don't see you, they don't want to see you. The reason is very simple. When you feel that the faucet is hot and cold, don't doubt it, it's because someone is sharing hot water with you."
She hurriedly took a shower and went to find Chen Zhuan with a pillow, intending to make a surprise inspection. However, when she entered the password, she heard two beeps and the robot prompted: "Wrong password."
She was startled and entered it again, but it was still wrong.
Oh my god, this guy even changed the password? !
Chen Zhuan was just crawling out of the whitening cabin when he heard his cell phone ring, with the towel barely covering his key parts. When the call was connected, Sheng Yiqing asked him, "What are you doing?"
He was so scared that his feet were in disarray and he almost slipped. Men don't lie, so he subconsciously said, "Nothing. I'm outside."
Sheng Yiqing asked again, "Did you change your password?"
Chen Zhuan was shocked and looked through the peephole urgently. Sure enough, he saw her there. His heart sank, and he went into the bathroom, covering the receiver and continued to play dumb: "Ah... It seems so, there was a problem last time so I reset it..."
"What's the new password?" Sheng Yiqing interrupted impatiently.
"It's useless even if you know the password. After resetting, you can only unlock with fingerprints... Why are you here at my house?"
"I want to see the whitening cabin. I'm still trying to contact Sun Ning and want to start with the product. By the way, have you used the whitening cabin?"
"How could I use it?!" As he said this, Chen Zhuan quickly went to the second bedroom and unplugged the plug, saying, "That one is so sissy and takes up space. I'm already a salted fish." As he spoke, he hurriedly covered the whitening cabin, but the movement was too big, and a "bang!" sounded from the other end of the phone, and the heavy lid was heavily slammed down.
Sheng Yiqing was stunned, and felt that the sound seemed to come from the room. She narrowed her eyes and asked again: "Are you really not at home?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
She said okay in silence, and replied: "Then I'll leave. I'll come to see you next time."
Without waiting for Chen Zhuan to answer, she quickly pressed his doorbell again-
The next second, a sound came from the receiver and ear at the same time: Ding Dong!
.
"Oh my, he's at home, but he won't open the door. He even changed the password. You didn't see through him? He just left like that!!" Qiu Zining issued a death sentence review, "He definitely cheated!"
"What if he found out? Divorce? Anyway, we're getting divorced soon. And..." Sheng Yiqing paused, "It may not be cheating, maybe he's just hiding something else from me?"
"What else could it be? Anyway, I'm definitely trying to persuade you to break up, not get back together. If you keep tolerating this, you'll end up washing your underwear with a cold face!"
Sheng Yiqing's mind was in a mess, with all sorts of messy guesses in her mind. As soon as she got out of the elevator, the lights in the corridor came on, and there was a burst of music in the corridor. She looked at the opposite door - it was Yu Yue playing music.
She didn't think too much, took out the key from her pocket to open the door, and heard a click from the keyhole. She twisted it, and heard another click, and the key was completely stuck.
She was stunned and tried to pull out the key, but no matter how she turned it, the key seemed to be welded and did not move at all.
"No?"
There is no door that can be entered smoothly tonight, right?
She became anxious and could not help but slap the door hard. With two bangs, the voice-activated light that had been dimmed turned on again.
"Do you need help?" The door behind her opened and a slender figure appeared. The accent was a little strange.
It was Yu Yue.
Sheng Yiqing hurriedly looked back at the man and waved his hand: "It's not a big problem. It's just that my door lock is broken. It seems that something is stuck in the keyhole..."
Yu Yue was silent for half a second, and both of them thought of what he did in front of her door after he got drunk that night. At that time, he was completely blacked out. Afterwards, the security guard took him to watch the surveillance video, and then he saw his own loss of composure. Feeling guilty, he stepped forward a few steps, without saying a word, and waved Sheng Yiqing to move aside.
The corridor was hot and humid in late summer, and the voice-activated lights in the corridor were dim. She leaned against the wall and looked at him with her head half up. The man had a good appearance, but his expression was cold. His lips were tightly pursed, and his hands exerted force, and there was only a crisp "click".
Her eyes lit up and she asked him, "Is it open?"
"No..." The cold face seemed to reveal a bit of embarrassment, and he raised the remaining half of the key: "...broken."
Without waiting for Sheng Yiqing to answer, Yu Yue immediately threw the half key away, "It's okay. I'll call the locksmith."
The locksmith will arrive in half an hour.
Sheng Yiqing waved her hand and said to him, "It's okay, I'll wait, you go back."
Yu Yue nodded, stopped talking, turned around and went into the house, but did not close the door. This man seemed to be used to turning the air conditioner very low like Sheng Yiqing. After just a moment, the air conditioning in the room seeped out, and the corridor was no longer hot and humid.
The sound-controlled lights in the corridor dimmed, and the lights in Yu Yue's living room came out. He seemed to intentionally open the door wide. From Sheng Yiqing's perspective, he could see two rows of long sofas placed parallel to the coffee table. He had renovated his windows, changing the floor-to-ceiling windows into black lattice retro windows. The music playing on the stereo was originally rock. The man leaned on the sofa and flipped through a picture album. He seemed to catch a glimpse of Sheng Yiqing's curious eyes. Yu Yue walked to the stereo and changed the music to Debussy.
"Do you want to come in and take a look?" he asked her.
"...No need."
He curled his lips, like a sneer, and pointed to the upper right corner: "There are surveillance cameras in the corridor, in the stairwell, and in the elevator. Don't worry."
"Aren't the surveillance cameras in the stairwell and elevator broken?"
"Fixed. I did that thing that day, and I fixed the surveillance cameras first, so that you, the neighbor, wouldn't be scared." He glanced at her, his eyes fell on the pillow in her arms.
Sheng Yiqing smiled awkwardly, and a sweet fragrance wafted from the room. She was curious: "Are you making cakes?"
"Yeah. I like to make these when I'm free. Occasionally, I pick two poisoned ones and give them to my neighbors."
Sheng Yiqing stared at Yu Yue with wide eyes, only to see that he was still cold-faced. She never expected that this person would talk nonsense seriously. She asked: "So the cake you gave me last time, was it really made by you?"
"How did it taste?"
"It's terrible." Sheng Yiqing was also serious, "So I ate it all by myself. To prevent it from harming the world."
She raised her eyes and glanced at Yu Yue. When their eyes met, they both laughed.
The locksmith arrived half an hour later. Without waiting for Sheng Yiqing to speak, Yu Yue asked the locksmith to replace the most expensive electronic lock. When checking out, Yu Yue paid first. The locksmith scanned the code and looked down at Sheng Yiqing: "I broke it. I should compensate you."
Sheng Yiqing was not polite and only teased, "There is a big difference between you when you are drunk and when you are sober."
"Your character is reflected in your drinking. Maybe I am really a bad person?" He smiled indifferently, handed the smart lock manual to Sheng Yiqing, and used the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate her: "Here, set the password first. Remember, the smart lock is to prevent people like me."
Sheng Yiqing didn't expect him to say that. He lowered his head to enter the password and glanced at Yu Yue sideways. He saw that he had already turned around. He was wearing an old washed retro T-shirt with broad shoulders. For some reason, he remembered the scene of him knocking on the door that day, full of aggression, anger, and sadness.
Sheng Yiqing couldn't help but say, "...You knocked on the door and asked me not to abandon you. Were you dumped?"
The next second, the pillow in her arms was taken away. She screamed and turned around. Yu Yue shook her pillow with one hand and supported the wall with the other hand. She squinted her eyes and looked down at her: "What about you? You hugged the pillow in the middle of the night and got rejected by a man?"
The familiar dangerous atmosphere made Sheng Yiqing stunned.
Seeing him approaching her ear little by little, "Hey, since we are in the same boat, shouldn't we keep each other warm?"
The voice-controlled light went out, and the light in Yu Yue's room came from behind, illuminating his hair. His tall figure blocked most of the light. In the dim corridor, with his magnified face, she could even smell the faint scent of perfume on him, dangerous and unfamiliar hormones.
"You..." As he approached step by step, Sheng Yiqing squatted down a little bit, then ducked out from under his arm and snatched the pillow, "Okay, you were abandoned, but I wasn't. Brother, I'm married, please respect other people's wives."
But Yu Yue was not surprised, just put his hands in his pockets and smiled, "I know you're married."
Sheng Yiqing was stunned.
"I also know that you and your husband don't live together."
Now it was Sheng Yiqing's turn.
"In fact, I know you're going to get divorced soon."
The man paused for half a second after every sentence he said, observing her expression playfully, "So, when are you going to get divorced?"
He continued to ask her, "Wait until you get divorced from him, can you marry me?"
In Sheng Yiqing's extreme shock, a rare smile bloomed on that extremely handsome but gloomy face. He looked at her with bright eyes: "Such a good marriage game, I also want to play~"
