At sunset, the mountains are far away

After that, Su Qingmo and Xia Chengqi happened to meet each other when visiting Dongdong in the orphanage from time to time.Often it was Su Qingmo who taught Dongdong literacy, arithmetic and English, while Xia Chengqi sat cross-legged on the floor and looked at the books Su Qingmo bought for Dongdong.Xia Chengqi felt that Su Qingmo's taste in choosing books was really in line with his own wishes. Even for the jigsaw puzzles that Su Qingmo bought, Xia Chengqi had to complete the puzzles himself before Dongdong could start.Su Qingmo boasted that she had seen countless people, but when she came to Xia Chengqi, she was a little surprised at how one person could have so many faces at the same time.Su Qingmo looked at a certain one that was sitting on the floor laughing so hard, and Dongdong and Dongdong looked at each other silently, they were speechless.

That night, Xia Chengqi was playing with a jigsaw puzzle that Su Qingmo bought for Dongdong. Tao Yan made a video call to ask Xia Chengqi about the arrangements for the National Day holiday.It just so happened that Xia Chengqi wasn't very busy with work recently, so the two agreed to travel to Inner Mongolia.Xia Chengqi listened to Tao Yan search and report various travel strategies in Inner Mongolia, while putting together a puzzle of the city night scene with a smile on his face, it was past ten o'clock in the evening before he knew it.

"Yanyan, I'm going to take a shower, let's talk about the specific route next time."

In the end, Tao Yan, who was still not finished, replied cheekily, "No, I haven't said enough. How about this, you take your phone into the bathroom. The camera is facing somewhere else, and you can chat with me while washing. Don't say no, go quickly Prepare a change of clothes. I'll wait for you in the bathroom." The last sentence was unusually provocative.

Xia Chengqi couldn't help swallowing, and even when he entered the bathroom, Tao Yan, who seemed to be afraid and expected, was waiting inside with a smile like a flower.As soon as he realized that he was dreaming, Xia Chengqi took a deep breath to drive away the derailed thoughts.

"Qiqi, where have you been washing?" Tao Yan asked solemnly.

"I'm still undressing."

After a while...

"Qiqi, where have you been washing now?"

"Apply shower gel." Xia Chengqi rolled his eyes at the air.

"Oh, where should I wash off after applying the shower gel?" A certain dog asked in a natural and natural tone, still unyielding.

"Tao Yan, you are so boring." Xia Chengqi finally couldn't bear it anymore and expressed his dissatisfaction

"Where is it boring? Let me see if our bathing steps are the same, and it will be more conducive to the synchronous running-in of the mandarin duck bath in the future, right?"

"Tao Yan, so you are such Teacher Tao." Xia Chengqi wondered if she had been deceived by Tao Yan's innocent and harmless appearance, and had already stepped on the thief's boat. It was also in vain, and I couldn't help but stand up.

On the other side of the camera, Tao Yan saw a slender arm appearing in front of the camera for 0.02 seconds, and then the call was hung up.She thought to herself; it would be great if she could control the front and rear functions of the camera with her mind.Tao Yan pursed his lips and smiled, then lay down and fell asleep contentedly.

Before the National Day holiday was approaching, Xia Chengqi went to the car parking lot for a colleague suffering from stomach problems to get medicine for him, but unexpectedly bumped into Su Qingmo who was leaning on the car and talking happily with a bald, middle-aged greasy man .The colleague's car happened to be parked next to the car Su Qingmo was leaning on. She walked up to Su Qingmo with her head slightly lowered, and said, "Sister Su." Asked, "Xia Chengqi, don't you think the title Su Deputy Editor-in-Chief is too long?" Seeing that Su Qingmo might be thinking about how to call herself Xia Chengqi, she said, "Just call me Sister Su."

"Why do you come to the parking lot at this time?" Su Qingmo was obviously at work, and it was a little strange to see the company's employees in the parking lot, especially Xia Chengqi, who worked hard.

After Xia Chengqi explained briefly, he opened his colleague's car door to look for stomach medicine.Xia Chengqi, who was looking for stomach medicine, was exposed outside the car, and only his upper body went in to find medicine, so the figure below the waist appeared in front of the bald man as if deliberately enlarged.The bald man's eyes glanced at Xia Chengqi's body exposed outside the car, and Su Qingmo, who was aware of this, deliberately turned sideways to block the bald man's ill-intentioned sight.

"I really didn't expect Miss Su to be so protective?" The bald man was half teasing and half surprised.Xia Chengqi was already holding stomach medicine in his hand at this time, and was a little puzzled by what the bald man said just now. "Sister Su, then I'll go up first."

"I don't know the name of this beautiful reporter?" The bald man glanced at the employee ID card hanging on Xia Chengqi's chest, and asked.

Xia Chengqi looked at the malicious, vulgar bald man in front of him, and cast his eyes on Su Qingmo.

"Then please Miss Su introduce me." The bald man said in a timely manner.

Su Qingmo saw the constriction and threat in Mr. Sun's eyes. She knew that she could not offend him yet, so she put on a professional smile and introduced unhurriedly, "This is our company's intern, Xia Chengqi. .”

"Oh, so it's an intern, no wonder it looks so young and energetic. Miss Xia, are you interested in having dinner with us?" Xia Chengqi couldn't bear to look straight at the seams. Just as he was about to refuse politely, Su Qingmo said, "Xia Chengqi, Mr. Sun invited you to dinner, of course you have to show face."

The bald man named Mr. Sun seemed very satisfied with Su Qingmo's answer, and let out a hearty laugh. The laughter echoed in the parking lot, and he seemed a little panicked.Although Xia Chengqi wasn't very used to Su Qingmo's sleek and sophisticated look, but when she saw that the usually serious and rigid woman was putting on a fake professional smile today, he knew in his heart that Mr. Sun in front of him couldn't be offended.

The three of them sat down in a high-end restaurant, and Mr. Sun sat opposite the two of them, his expression of achievement was beyond words, and his eyes swept back and forth on the faces of the two of them from time to time.

"It's really an honor for me to have dinner with these two beauties face to face."

"Mr. Sun is young and promising, it's our honor." Su Qingmo's answer was watertight, which was quite different from her usual image of cherishing words like gold and being concise.The two continued to exchange pleasantries, talking and laughing happily.Xia Chengqi sat at the side, concentrating on playing the role of companion, but since he was a part of the song, it was not easy to be wise and protect himself, and the topic soon turned to himself.

"Forgive me, but I don't know if a quiet and beautiful lady like Miss Xia has a boyfriend now." Xia Chengqi was asked this question head-on, swallowing the food in his mouth with some difficulty.

"No." Xia Chengqi replied flatly.

Hearing the negative answer, the light in Mr. Sun's eyes obviously gathered, "Isn't Miss Xia lonely?"

Although Xia Chengqi knew that the slick Mr. Sun in front of him was not a gentleman, but in a public place where more than two people were present, it was beyond Xia Chengqi's cognition to ask such a secret question. He looked at himself with burning eyes.Suddenly, Xia Chengqi felt a big rough hand touch her thigh, she stood up suddenly, her eyes were cold, "Mr. Sun, I hope you know what you are doing."

Mr. Sun was smiling, not angry at all, and leaned back comfortably with his generous back. He seemed to appreciate Xia Chengqi's posture of a chaste and strong woman.After admiring Xia Chengqi's sharp gaze, he turned to Su Qingmo, "Miss Su, how do you think this should go on?"

"Xia Chengqi, come here." Su Qingmo pulled Xia Chengqi outside the restaurant with a serious expression, and picked up Xia Chengqi's bag and coat by the way.

The two of them were standing in the brightly lit street outside the restaurant.

"You can go back." After Su Qingmo handed back Xia Chengqi her belongings, she glanced at Xia Chengqi lightly, then walked straight into the restaurant, and when she sat down in front of Mr. Sun, she resumed her shrewd and smooth look .For a moment, Xia Chengqi didn't know whether to leave or stay. She knew that going in would be like a wolf's mouth, but what should Su Qingmo do?What does she want or fear from this man?

The bald man's hands began to be dishonest again, and he deliberately looked at Xia Chengqi who was standing on the street, his eyes were full of provocation and disdain, and he even got up and sat side by side with Su Qingmo.Xia Chengqi tightly clenched the hands holding the clothes, but she knew that Su Qingmo's gesture just now showed that she didn't want her to get involved, but could she just watch like this?Xia Chengqi didn't want to watch it any longer, she turned her face away from where the two of them were sitting, she needed a clear space to think.

When she made up her mind to drag Su Qingmo away desperately, and turned around, she found that the figures of the two people in the restaurant had disappeared without a trace. She looked around blankly and found the two people who were about to drive away.

"Su Qingmo? Where are you going?" Xia Chengqi pulled the passenger door that was about to close, and Su Qingmo was sitting in the passenger cab.When Su Qingmo heard her name read from Xia Chengqi's mouth, she was shocked. It was the first time that Xia Chengqi called her by his name directly, and she no longer called "Deputy Su" who was not at the same level as business-like. Editor-in-Chief" or "Sister Su" who is inferior in seniority, but why is it in such an unbearable situation?

Su Qingmo suppressed the mixed emotions in her heart, turned her face slowly, and said with a sullen expression, "Xia Chengqi, I know what I'm doing, you can go now."

"However, it would be great if Miss Xia is willing to come together." A greasy and disgusting voice came from the cab.

Xia Chengqi didn't let go of the hand holding the passenger car door immediately, she scanned Su Qingmo's angry and impatient face carefully, trying to find a trace of regret, helplessness and confusion in it, but she failed .She let go, closed the car door for Su Qingmo, turned her back and strode away.The car left the parking space and disappeared into the vast night.Through the rearview mirror, Su Qingmo stared intently at the thin figure that was getting smaller and smaller, almost invisible. A warm current flowed through her heart when Xia Chengqi stood up for her, but the timing was wrong, she could only let it go. The warm current turned into icicles, piercing the heart that I thought was invulnerable, but the result was still a mess of pain.

"You know, I don't like to force others." Mr. Sun put away his playful smile and looked serious.

"There is no coercion. As long as you keep your promise." The two people in the car seemed to be under the cover of darkness, taking off their disguise, and they didn't look like they were coming and going in a restaurant, talking and laughing happily.
