A woman like Ode to Joy
Chapter 44
When Fan Shengmei arrived at the company that day, she was wearing a pure white mid-length flared-sleeved shirt, a pair of dark green high-waisted wide-leg cropped pants, and pointed-toe shoes with straps of the same color.Most of the smart people in the company can tell that the outfit is "expensive", but the makeup is a little plain, except for the eyeliner and slightly orange lip color, there is not even blush.Fan Shengmei stood in front of the big mirror in the company bathroom, used eyeliner to draw a little eyebrow, stared at the dark circles under her eyes and sighed, "Dark circles..."
The concealer that Tan Zongming bought didn't suit her skin tone at all, the color number was much darker, probably the natural color she bought.
However, he looked at himself in the mirror from top to bottom, touched the exquisitely embroidered collar, raised his hand to carefully arrange the straps on his arms, and stroked the flat top of his trousers.I like the shoes on my feet even more, they are extraordinarily chic and feminine.
It really is Tan Dacrocod...
Fan Shengmei loves beauty. Needless to say, she likes clothes. She has no money and often searches the Internet for cheap out-of-season "big brands". There are many handbags, but most of them are imitation "A goods". It was given by someone else.The heart that was still entangled in falling in love with Tan Zongming trembled because of the actual benefits. Although the skill in picking cosmetics is a bit weak, the taste in clothes is still good.Most importantly, it's expensive.
She really likes it!
I couldn't help but look in front of the mirror for a while.
When she went downstairs to eat at noon, she brought a bucket of preserved egg and lean meat porridge to attract attention, so she had to go around and explain to others that she had brought it herself.After finally getting off work, she was relieved.
There are too many problems today.
Many of the sharp-eyed people around looked at her clothes and could tell which brand and which series it was and how much it cost. The report was clear, and Fan Shengmei was surprised when she estimated the price.
Expensive, really expensive.
Tell her to subconsciously carefully check her clothes in every move, for fear that her trousers will be scratched and her clothes will be threaded.After this trip, she felt that she might as well put on the old clothes in her bag, it would not be so tiring.
Fan Shengmei was just squeezing into the elevator when her cell phone rang.
She glanced at it, stopped her thumb, and slowly frowned.
Cao Qi.
After hesitating for a long time, she silenced the sound and put her hands on it, staring at the screen until the phone calmed down.
Cao Qi...
Last night, I patronized Tan Zongming and forgot that there was such a person, and he didn't call the agreed phone number. Now the call is either to ask about the situation or to ask about the meal.
And these two things, she doesn't know how to agree now.
How to do?
Following the flow out of the elevator, Fan Shengmei looked at her mobile phone standing outside the elevator door with a sad face.
Do you want to reply one?Otherwise, the other party thought something happened to him.After unlocking the phone, I looked at the phone and hesitated, but what did I want to say when I called?What should I say?
The more she thought about it, the more she worried, and she really couldn't do anything about those two words.
Just when she was struggling, the screen in front of her eyes went black, and the phone suddenly trembled violently in her palm, which shocked her.Take a closer look—Old Tan.
It's Tan Zongming.
He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that it was Cao Qi who called.
With a move of the thumb, "Hello?"
"Are you off work? I'm downstairs from your company," added at the end, "around the corner."
What I said was afraid that Fan Shengmei would still be a little concerned, so I consciously found a secluded place and parked the car.
Fan Shengmei listened, feeling strange in her heart, "Ah...you are outside my company, right? Where?" She stepped forward.
"It's just that there is a big flower garden in front, and there are a lot of flowers blooming."
Fan Shengmei walked out quickly, passed through the crowd, and saw someone's "low-key" black Porsche from a distance.
"Ah, I saw you." The man was dressed the same as in the morning, leaning against the car door and smiling at her.
When she approached, Tan Zongming stepped forward to take the thermos and bag from her.Fan Shengmei watched him put those things in the back seat, and still felt a little awkward in her heart. In less than a day, she still couldn't accept Tan Dacroman's "service" to her naturally.
He said "thank you" in a low voice, and watched him open the car door for her, and sat in shortly.
During the journey, Fan Shengmei sent a message to Cao Qi, saying that she was not free today, and that she was not feeling well, so she couldn't have dinner together for the time being.After a while, she looked at the concerned message sent, and her expression collapsed, and she felt a little sorry.But there is no way to tell the truth now.
I can't go on a rampage and say to people, ah, I'm sorry, I accidentally hooked up with another man during the process of hooking up with you, and I have established a relationship...
As soon as she thought about it, Fan Shengmei felt a sense of guilt in her heart, and she was afraid that others would ask, oh, who is your new date?She said Tan Zongming, and the other party wondered if she was with Tan Zongming because of money, and at the same time hooked up with others in the process of interacting with him, so is Cao Qi a spare tire?
Thinking about it makes me feel ashamed to face it.
This big crocodile Tan is really a problem for people.
"What's the matter, you started to frown as soon as you got in the car, and today's work is not going well?" Tan Zongming paid attention to her the whole time, and his brows did not loosen as soon as she got in the car. The dark circles hung in the bottom of her eyes, and she looked a little anxious, and then looked again Ask, "Are the cosmetics I bought in the morning useless? Don't they still have dark circles covered? I specifically explained it."
Fan Shengmei was distressed here, when she saw him talking, she touched her "flawless" face today, and said: "The color is dark for me, it's better not to cover it."
He nodded, and said, "I have to buy something white for you, right? That's fine. I'll pay attention next time. Those clothes and so on, do they fit?"
This comes to Fan Shengmei's happier point, she turned her head and said to him seriously: "I like the clothes very much, the colors and styles are all my usual favorites. The choice is good." Looking at the clothes she picked out, she was quite appreciative.
"Fortunately, there is finally something you like. How about the porridge, have you finished?"
Fan Shengmei nodded as she recalled the scene in the cafeteria where you share some and I have some, "It's finished, it's delicious, and it's still hot when you open it." Everyone ate happily.
On the second day of the relationship, the love was here, Fan Shengmei couldn't say anything deeply, she was a little embarrassed, but the other party had a calm demeanor, and everything was easy to say.However, because Fan Shengmei is not very natural, the current situation is limited to one question and one answer, and the answering party will never ask any more questions.Tan Zongming didn't force it, and followed her steps slowly, there was always a stage of familiarity, and he also understood that the foundation of the two of them was not very strong, and apart from meeting her when she was most embarrassed, they had a lot of love for both of them. Things, both are blank.
Understand that there are no shortcuts but solid steps.
"I have a dinner in a while, so I can't accompany you to have dinner. Eat well by yourself, and eat less messy and unnutritious things. Don't touch instant noodles or anything." Tan Zongming turned his head again in his spare time at the traffic lights.
Since the relationship was established last night, Fan Shengmei has been told to explain many things by him.She felt a little bit that she was about to be unable to take care of herself.
Eat more meals.
Walking after meals is good for digestion.
Arrange to see a doctor for a checkup.
Drink more soup.
Afraid that she would be hungry, let her bring a bucket of porridge to work...
She wondered if she should hold his hand kindly and call him, Dad.
Hearing his exhortations now, I feel a little used to it.It's a terrible habit...
Fan Shengmei complained a lot in her heart, but she still obediently said "Oh" and nodded in agreement.
Tan Zongming explained again, "I will pick you up to work tomorrow morning." He stared at the front without turning his head.
Fan Shengmei frowned, and politely refused, "Your home is too far away, so you don't need it, get up early in the morning, forget it." When he thought that he said that he would send her off early, Fan Shengmei remembered the long journey, and she was at eight o'clock in the morning. Go out more, not too far away from the company and don't need to send it.Let people get up at six o'clock, why do you have to make such a fuss?
Tan Zongming smiled when he heard the words, "Are you worried that I won't sleep well?"
Fan Shengmei was taken aback, she didn't expect this spontaneous association, beautifying the process, and said in a bad mood: "Yes, Mr. Tan, I'm worried, I'm terribly worried."
Tan Zongming didn't care about her title this time, he just smiled and narrowed his eyes.
This time, the way back was no longer going straight forward, but to take a detour to the second intersection and drop her off at the gate of the community.
Fan Shengmei got out of the car and went to the back seat to pick up her clothes. Just as she was about to pick up the thermos bucket, the person in front said, "I'll take the thermos bucket home for Mom Liu and the others to wash. Let's put it there."
Fan Shengmei had no choice but to straighten the thermos, and was about to close the door, when she suddenly thought of something to stop and looked at him again, with a hesitant face, "By the way, that..."
Tan Zongming was puzzled, "What's the matter?"
Fan Shengmei stared at him holding the bag, hesitating, "Can you... don't for now, tell Andy and the others about our business."
Tan Zongming frowned, straightened up and looked at her steadily.
Why was Fan Shengmei so serious after being looked at like this, she secretly felt that she was wronged, as if the relationship between the two of them was shady, and explained for herself, "I just feel that I haven't gotten used to it yet, you have to give me some time... ..."
Tan Zongming looked at her in silence for a while, then suddenly let go of his body, sat down again, and said lightly, "I can promise you first." He looked at her again, "Go."
Fan Shengmei closed the door and silently looked at the back of the car going away, but in her heart she repeatedly recalled the other party's expression, but in the end she couldn't figure out what the emotion of that expression was.
It can be said that Tan Zongming is the most difficult person to read the expression of all the people she has met.
Standing where she was, she wondered whether her request was too much.But under the pressure in her heart, she could only turn around and enter the community in frustration.
After entering the lobby of the building, she saw a person standing in front of the elevator, which made her stop.Before he hesitated to go forward, he saw the man stroking his short hair, yawned carelessly, and turned his head towards her.
"Hey, Sister Fan. It's so early today..." He raised his hand to greet Fan Shengmei, and accidentally caught sight of the shoes on her feet, "It's so early to leave work..."
Fan Shengmei saw that the other party's eyes fell on her feet, so she had no choice but to approach, and smiled, "You are also very early."
Qu Xiaoxiao sized her up but didn't show politeness, she said perfunctorily, "I'm just fooling around, when and when I like. Tsk, but I said Big Sister Fan." Looking at her, she suddenly called out.
Fan Shengmei looked at the elevator door unnaturally, "What are you doing?"
Qu Xiaoxiao sized her up from her feet to her clothes, and said, "This is a lot of money, congratulations, I finally found a man who is willing to spend money for you."
Fan Shengmei's heart skipped a beat, pretending to be puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Qu Xiaoxiao glanced at her angrily, "Hey, can you not pretend? Your new lawyer boyfriend, did you spend the night with him yesterday?"
The man had sharp eyes, saw the clothes in the bag she was carrying, and then glanced at the dark circles under Fan Shengmei's eyes. He consciously noticed everything, pulled Fan Shengmei into the elevator and said, "Oh, you guys, you should be more restrained. The dark circles under your eyes are too thick, and I'm afraid that if you go out, you won't know what happened to you. I can see it at a glance."
After listening to Qu Xiaoxiao's long talk, she didn't realize that the other party misunderstood that the clothes on her body were bought by Cao Qi, and that she was with Cao Qi last night, so Fan Shengmei's worried heart slowly eased.
Then, without explaining anything, he touched the dark circles under his eyes, thinking, misunderstanding, let her misunderstand first.
She still doesn't know what to say.
The author has something to say:
The archived manuscripts are completely exhausted, and only 45 chapters are left.Starting tomorrow, it's all cash.My plan is, next month it's all over, all.Maybe occasionally I am interested in one or two episodes.
The concealer that Tan Zongming bought didn't suit her skin tone at all, the color number was much darker, probably the natural color she bought.
However, he looked at himself in the mirror from top to bottom, touched the exquisitely embroidered collar, raised his hand to carefully arrange the straps on his arms, and stroked the flat top of his trousers.I like the shoes on my feet even more, they are extraordinarily chic and feminine.
