One big and one small are practicing love

When I returned to Beijing, it rained all the way, sometimes heavy and sometimes light. The light inside the car was dim, the warm wind was blowing slowly, and the glass was covered with a layer of mist.

Although he was restless and had a mess of thoughts in his mind, Zuo Kunmin fell asleep unknowingly as he listened to the patter of rain and breathed in the dull heat in the car.

It was Master Zhao who woke Zuo Kunmin up.

"Mr. Zuo, Manager Chen's phone number is for you." Master Zhao handed his mobile phone to Zuo Kunmin.

Zuo Kunmin just woke up and felt a little dizzy. He took the phone with half-open eyes and said in a mute voice: "Hey! Qingyan."

"Mr. Zuo, are you free tonight?"

"what's up?"

"It's my birthday today and I want to invite you over. Many diplomats are at the dinner organized by my father."

Zuo Kunmin coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said: "Happy birthday!" Then he said simply: "Sorry, I can't go tonight. I will prepare a gift for you and send someone to deliver it to you."

"Is the family matter not settled yet?"

"Ok!"

"It's good for a man to take care of his family. You are busy. Thank you for your birthday wishes."

After hanging up the phone, Zuo Kunmin called the human resources department and reprimanded them for not giving Chen Qingyan a birthday gift for him. The Ministry of Human Resources said that Chen Qingyan’s personal information is confidential and cannot be known. Zuo Kunmin realized that he had forgotten that when he signed the contract, Chen Qingyan requested that personal information be kept confidential.

Arranged for the HR department to buy a large bouquet of expensive flowers, luxury jewelry, and black swan cakes, and sent them to the restaurant where Chen Qingyan's birthday party was held. That's settled.

After finishing this matter, Zuo Kunmin rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked out the window. In the rain and mist, the sky was dark and gloomy, the high-rise buildings were illuminated with lights, and the densely intertwined traffic flow could not be seen. Thinking of the quiet mountain village where I was in the morning, I felt a strong sense of illusion.

People in the city are either in cement grids or iron boxes. They feel that they are extremely important and powerful, and they work day and night. People in the countryside are among the mountains, rivers and trees. They can see the sun, moon and stars when they look up. Their senses are closely connected with nature. They feel that they are small and ordinary, and they live naturally and in line with their nature.

I am reminded of two sentences from Laozi's "Tao Te Ching": Therefore, if the Tao is great, the world, the earth, and the king are also great. Man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature.

"Master Zhao, how long until you get home?"

"Originally, we could get home in half an hour, but due to the rainy weather and road congestion, it is estimated that it will take more than an hour."

Zuo Kunmin yawned loudly and raised his wrist to look at his watch. It was already six o'clock. He took out his cell phone from his pocket and looked through the many missed calls and unread messages. There is no news from her. When I called her, her phone was still off.

He sighed softly and lowered his head to deal with the work. Return phone calls, return messages, return emails. Until we get home.

As soon as he entered the house, Zuo Kunmin shouted, "Xiao Xiao!" Tiny! ’ No one responded. He quickly went to Liu Xiaochen’s room, kitchen, toilet, and study room, but there was nothing there.

She hasn't come back yet, and judging by the time, it's almost time to come back.

One day and one night, Zuo Kunmin was tired and had a headache after driving and riding long distances. But I can't rest now. I have to adjust myself. When she comes back, I must make it clear to her tonight.

So, I went upstairs to my room, changed clothes, and took a shower.

The hot water poured on the skin, numbing the tired body and becoming active bit by bit. Thinking about it, why did it suddenly become so cold? Can her clothes protect her from the cold? What car did she take back?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard movement outside the bathroom. Zuo Kunmin hurriedly turned off the hot water and listened carefully, hearing the sound of light footsteps. Thinking that it must be Liu Xiaochen, he quickly put on his bathrobe, opened the door and went out.

"Xiaoxiao, are you back?" Zuo Kunmin said urgently before he saw anyone.

"Hello, Mr. Zuo, it's me." Chen Qingyan said with a smile.

Zuo Kunmin was stunned for a moment, then calmly tightened the skirt of his bathrobe, frowned and said, "How did you get in?"

"When I knocked on the door, my aunt happened to be off work."

"What are you here for?"

"I received the birthday gift from you, thank you! My dad organized the dinner, and I didn't want to stay with them. I wanted you to celebrate my birthday with me, so I came to find you." Chen Qingyan said calmly.

The water on the hair kept dripping on the neck, and soon soaked a large piece of bathrobe. Zuo Kunmin pointed to the bathroom and said calmly: "I haven't finished taking a shower yet. Please go downstairs and wait for me." .”

"Yes! Okay!" Chen Qingyan nodded in response. Just as he was about to turn around, he saw Zuo Kunmin striding into the bathroom. The frosted glass door opened and closed, then locked with a bang, and the sound of running water sounded again. .

After returning to the bathroom, Zuo Kunmin turned the faucet to cold water. The cold water splashed on the skin, the pores shrank, and I couldn't help but shiver. Cursing himself secretly, he should have woken up long ago.

Looking back, when I hired Chen Qingyan, I valued her work ability and experience. She was the talent needed to acquire the British ck company. Although I knew at that time that she had a strong political background, I did not want to take advantage of her. Only later, Chen Qingyan took the initiative to use his political connections many times to save the company a lot of trouble and obtain a lot of important information.

Obviously, there is an ambiguous relationship with a beautiful woman and a complicated political relationship. The former is easy and has significant benefits, while the latter is humiliating and consumes losses.

Admit that you are greedy and weak, that you cannot give up your interests easily, and that you want to be easier and faster, even if you clearly know that these will inevitably cause emotional harm.

But just now he was standing on the edge of the cliff, jumping off or turning around in time, Zuo Kunmin had to make a choice. Whether it was unintentional or helpless, his attitude was shown to her. It would be so boring to keep pretending, and I would really hate myself deeply. No matter what the result is, bear it!

After thinking clearly, Zuo Kunmin turned off the faucet, dried his body, put on his home clothes, and left the bathroom. I grabbed my phone on the bedside table and looked at it. It was almost 9 o'clock, so I thought Liu Xiaochen would be back soon.

I don't want her to come back and see her, and the misunderstanding deepens. I need to clear my mind at this moment and tell Chen Qingyan something clearly in time. So, I picked up my phone and walked downstairs quickly.

When they got downstairs, they saw Chen Qingyan walking towards Zuo Kunmin with a piece of cake in his arms, and said with a smile: "Eat the cake."

"No, thank you." Zuo Kunmin said simply.

Chen Qingyan was disappointed and said: "It's my birthday today, can't you let me spend it happily?"

Zuo Kunmin took a deep breath and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Qing Yan, I can't celebrate your birthday with you. I have something important to do later, and you can't be at my house. I'll call now and ask Master Zhao to take you back."

"She came back just now and left again."

Zuo Kunmin's expression turned cold, he looked at Chen Qingyan with piercing eyes, and said angrily: "What did you say to her?"

Feeling his strong anger and tension, Chen Qingyan shed tears uncontrollably and calmly stated the conversation he had just had with Liu Xiaochen.

"She is my girlfriend. Your appearance will cause her to misunderstand. Don't come to my house again." Zuo Kunmin said crisply, turned around and walked quickly to the door, opened the door and went out.

As soon as he went out, the cold wind blew on him, and Zuo Kunmin realized that he was wearing thin clothes. But right now I don't care about that much, I just want to find her as soon as possible.
