Chapter 13
Chapter 12 – It’S Raining So Hard
It rained again on Monday morning.
Li Wanqiu walked into the building with an umbrella. Although she was very careful, she still accidentally got wet in several places. When the wind blew, it was really cold.
Last night, she checked today’s itinerary with Ji Jinyan on WeChat. There was a meeting in City H where she was invited to give a speech. Ji Jinyan accepted and drove off early in the morning.
She was accompanied by Assistant An.
Neither of them was there, and the atmosphere was too quiet for Yu Li Wanqiu. She sat in front of the computer and answered a few emails, and sorted out the meeting content on Friday, and put it on the table for Ji Jinyan to come back to review.
After that, I didn’t know what to do for a while.
On a rainy day, the picking work in the vineyard was temporarily suspended. Li Wanqiu stood in front of the French windows and looked out for a while. Feeling bored, she retreated again and lay down on the table with her eyes closed.
I don’t know when she quietly fell asleep, and then she had a dream, and she was also Guan Chun in the dream, when she was about six or seven years old, before the two of them became rigid.
At that time, she was a little shorter than Guan Chun, and she habitually followed her. The two of them had a good time and would share with each other whatever was on their minds.
Li Wanqiu said: “My parents haven’t been back for a long time, and the last time we met was during Chinese New Year.”
“Uncle and aunt may be too busy.” Guan Chun sighed, raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, “It’s okay, if you feel lonely, come to my house to play.”
Li Wanqiu was very happy when she heard the words: “Really?”
Guan Chun nodded and hooked her: “Of course!”
The two made an agreement and gathered at Guan Chun’s house to explore that afternoon. Li Wanqiu hadn’t been this happy for a long time, with a smile on his face all the time.
Until the accident suddenly appeared, Guan Chun accidentally smashed the newly bought vase at home during the play, and when he was panicked, Guan Fu came out with an angry expression on his face.
Li Wanqiu paused, and subconsciously stood in front of Guan Chun. Before he could speak, he heard someone behind him speak.
“Aqiu,” Guan Chun turned his eyes away, his voice was very soft, and his eyes were dim.
She said, “Why are you so careless?”
“…”
When Li Wanqiu woke up, she only felt in a bad mood, but she didn’t expect to have such a dream.
The experience in the dream did happen. Guan Chun blamed the vase incident on Li Wanqiu. Li Wanqiu couldn’t explain clearly, so she was criticized for nothing. Although Guan Chun also apologized to her later, Since some things have already happened, the damage caused cannot be completely zeroed out.
It’s really disturbing.
Li Wanqiu sighed, feeling a little cold, got up to get a cup of hot coffee, and before she sat down, the phone on the table rang suddenly.
It’s Ji Jinyan.
“Hello?” Li Wanqiu raised his hand to pick it up, “What’s the matter, Mr. Ji.”
“Log in to my mailbox.” Ji Jinyan’s voice came from the other end, “There is a contract in it that needs you to print it out and stamp it with the official seal, then scan it and send it to me as soon as possible.”
“Understood.” Li Wanqiu nodded, logged in and downloaded neatly, and asked again while printing, “Is there anything else?”
The voice was very soft, with a depression that she didn’t even realize.
“President Ji.” Before Ji Jinyan could respond, someone came over and urged him softly, “The speech is about to begin.”
“Understood.” Ji Jinyan smiled back, but did not hang up the phone.
“Li Wanqiu.” Then she spoke and called her again.
“Yeah.” Li Wanqiu nodded in response to her, got up to get the printout, “Say it.”
“I still have a piece of chocolate left in the drawer, which happened to be placed with the official seal.” Ji Jinyan said, “Help me eat it when you are free.”
After speaking, the call is terminated.
Li Wanqiu took the printout and pushed away from Ji Jinyan’s office. When he found the official seal, he also saw a piece of chocolate in a pink and tender package with two strawberries drawn on it.
Although he didn’t understand her intentions, since Ji Jinyan wanted to give it to her, Li Wanqiu was not polite. After finishing the work at hand, he lowered his eyes and began to study the chocolate.
Before opening it, she was still thinking that Ji Jinyan’s taste was so girly, until she peeled off the outer skin, she suddenly saw the words printed on the inner packaging.
May your days be filled with joy.
Translated, I hope you will be full of joy every day.
“…”
The day’s work ends quickly.
Until the night when the heavy rain was still falling, Li Wanqiu took an umbrella and entered the elevator, ran into Sister Yang from the administration department, laughed and chatted with someone.
Straight out of the building, Li Wanqiu waved goodbye to the people, silently opened the umbrella, subconsciously looked into the distance, and suddenly noticed that a familiar car was parked at the door.
She paused, frowning involuntarily, and subconsciously quickened her pace, pretending not to notice.
But it was unsuccessful. In the next second, the car door was pushed open, and Guan Chun walked out.
… Today is probably her unlucky day.
Li Wanqiu sighed, since she couldn’t avoid it, she had no choice but to attack, but she took a few steps back to keep a distance from her: “Why are you here?”
“Aqiu, let me come and see you.” Guan Chundao seemed to see her defense, and his voice could not help but soften, “I heard from my uncle and aunt that you work here.”
“How have you been recently?” she asked, “Last time, it seemed that because of my affairs, there was some unhappiness between you and them. I’m sorry.”
Her sudden apology caught people off guard. Li Wanqiu paused for a moment, then shook his head stiffly: “It’s okay, the responsibility is not entirely yours.”
“Are you free to have a meal together?” Guan Chun couldn’t help laughing when she saw her say this, “We haven’t seen each other for many years.”
“No.” This time Li Wanqiu simply refused, “I still have something to do.”
The evasion was very obvious, but Guan Chun seemed to not understand her meaning, and continued: “What’s the matter, do you want me to accompany you?”
“…” Li Wanqiu was speechless, and after thinking for a few seconds, he found an excuse, “I work overtime.”
After finishing speaking, Guan Chun did not answer this time.
“Hurry up and go back, the rain is getting heavier.” Li Wanqiu didn’t spend any more time with her, turned around and walked back, before entering the building, Li’s mother sent a message.
Ask her: “Chunchun traveled all the way, how could you refuse?”
I knew it was what her mother meant.
Li Wanqiu took a deep breath, feeling irritated and powerless in her heart, she raised her feet to a hidden place and sat down, pinching her palms with downcast eyes, her eyes were inexplicably moist.
Fortunately, no one noticed her, Li Wanqiu sat quietly with her head down, flipped through the small bag, and happened to run out of tissues, so she simply wiped them with her hands.
After wiping it twice, it seemed that someone sat down beside her.
Li Wanqiu was taken aback, subconsciously trying to hide, but before he could move, a tissue suddenly appeared in his sight.
“It’s raining heavily.” Ji Jinyan said, instead of looking at her, he cast his eyes on the misty night outside the window.
Softly said: “Wipe it.”
