A woman like Ode to Joy

Shen Yufu.

Isn't the person in front with a piercing smile Shen Yufu?

The corners of the stiff mouth were like marionettes on a string, pulling the arc abruptly, not to mention how ugly it was in Tang Qiu's eyes, and even felt a sense of fear.This kind of Fan Shengmei is really unbearable, and the woman in front of her looks very familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere.

The people who can go in and out to eat in this kind of place are familiar to him, and they are probably not ordinary people. Moreover, he also knows Fan Shengmei.

There are countless thoughts and conjectures in my mind.

But Fan Shengmei just pursed her lips stiffly and turned her head away. Shen Yufu, who passed by, seemed to have never called Fan Shengmei before, casually glanced at Tang Qiu, and walked away.

As for the two people who stayed in place, one pretended to be nonchalant, but still couldn't hide his blinking eyes.One was thoughtful at first, and then turned his head to look at the person beside him.

Shen Yufu's demeanor can be called contempt, without any respect at all.Such an uncomfortable attitude was expected by Fan Shengmei, but what she didn't expect was that it was still so lethal to her.I laughed in my heart that I was overreacting, obviously there was no one involved, and there was no need to put on any posture because of the relationship with Tan Zongming in the past.

"Shengmei." Suddenly someone beside her called her name.

Fan Shengmei was taken aback, "Huh?"

Turning his head, he happened to meet Tang Qiu's seemingly indifferent face, but his heavy eyes.

"Let's go," he said.

"Ah."

Then, the two walked towards the reserved private room.

When seated in the box, the atmosphere was a bit strange.I don't know if it's because Fan Shengmei has never had a meal with Tang Qiu alone. At first, she only thought of having a meal with her superiors and subordinates, but suddenly she found that the place to eat was here, and she met Shen Yufu again...

Just after choosing the dishes, when the waiter went out, there was silence on the table again.

Fan Shengmei considered for a long time what topic to start, when suddenly a glass of orange juice came into view, and she glanced at Tang Qiu, just in time to see that he was controlling the central turntable with one hand, and just stopped.

"Normal temperature." He said.

Fan Shengmei said thank you and took it down.

Afterwards, Fan Shengmei listened to Tang Qiu, who never started talking casually outside the business field, and began to ask about her recent progress in learning French.

This topic just aroused her interest, so she discussed with him some recent problems in French. The two talked a lot about this topic. Tang Qiu even shared a lot about his previous experience in learning French. , and some embarrassments due to grammatical problems.

Fan Shengmei was very surprised, it was hard to imagine that Tang Qiu, who was always nearly perfect, would also make a fool of herself, and she was overjoyed.

Tang Qiu also had a lot of smiles on his face as he spoke. He took off his coat and a thin shirt and unbuttoned it a few times, which unexpectedly made the scene a lot easier and less formal, and he was in a good mood.

What Fan Shengmei didn't realize, and what she didn't realize, is that Tang Qiu's way of speaking is much better than before, perhaps because of tempering, he is more attractive than before.She used to only know how to work hard in his eyes, and because he always demanded perfect and serious work, she never dared to make jokes, so there was a special distance between the two of them.But now, because Tang Qiu intentionally drew closer, unconsciously, he was not as restrained as before, and sometimes he dared to make a little joke when he bumped into him in the hotel.

"Yes, people grow up, need to face some problems, and know how to fight for what they want." After the joke, Tang Qiu said with a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes were serious.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that when Tang Qiu said this, he meant something. His eyes were shining like never before, and it made people's hearts beat when they fell on people.

I don't know if the dishes served were a coincidence, even though Fan Shengmei didn't order it and said it was random, but most of the dishes served on the table were Fan Shengmei's regular meals here.

In the past, it was Tan Zongming who ordered it for her.

We chatted for a while, but Tang Qiu never mentioned Fan Shengmei's predicament just now, as if it never happened.What's more, he is taking care of her, and Fan Shengmei is always involuntarily thinking of someone in his mind.

Obviously there are many things that are different, but I always think of them unconsciously.

Obviously, Tang Qiu would not force her to eat something, let alone ramble on about what she should pay attention to. She felt that there was something wrong with her.

Her absent-mindedness is particularly obvious in the eyes of caring people, not to mention Tang Qiu who puts all his emotions on her.Helping refill a glass of orange juice, watching the amount of food in her bowl, frowning slightly.

"Why are you drinking orange juice all the time, isn't the food not to your appetite?"

Fan Shengmei was taken aback when he heard the words, not to his liking?

He looked up at the dishes on the table.

Wherever it doesn't suit your appetite, you lose your appetite only if it suits your appetite too much.

"Well, no, it just so happens that they are all my favorite food, and what you ordered is all to my liking." Fan Shengmei took a mouthful of food and smiled.

Tang Qiu said lightly: "Really? Then eat more."

He ate a lot of rice in his bowl, and seeing Fan Shengmei taking a bite, he suddenly said, "If you don't like dry rice, you can have some porridge."

Fan Shengmei hurriedly shook her head, "No, no, no, it's the same if I drink more soup. I... eat less recently, not because I don't like it."

Within sight, Fan Shengmei who said this had wiped off the color of her lipstick, and her complexion was pale, giving off a feeling of weakness.Eat less?It can be seen that she is much thinner than before. If she does not have exquisite makeup to decorate herself, she will look listless.

Tang Qiu paused, put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, "Eat less...Is it because of Mr. Tan?"

Fan Shengmei's movements froze, and the okra on the chopsticks fell back into the plate, as if she was caught off guard by someone's blow, and it was obvious that she hit the heart.

This question was too straightforward, Fan Shengmei frowned and denied it, "No, you're overthinking it. It's just that you've been busy recently..."

Tang Qiu took a full view of her gaffe, "Well, I think you've lost so much weight recently. As your boyfriend, Mr. Tan is no less worried than me, the boss. You still have to take care of your body."

Fan Shengmei took the orange juice on the side, seeming to drink it but not drinking it.

"We are not in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship anymore." After finishing speaking, he finally took a sip and let the orange juice fill his mouth, it was so sweet that it was greasy.

It's not a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship...

Unconsciously repeating this sentence in his heart, Tang Qiu was taken aback.

He never thought that what he wanted to hear came so easily, and so clearly, so quickly, but he couldn't ignore the lonely look on Fan Shengmei's face, still reminding him of the great influence of that man.

Really cannot be ignored.

"Sorry." Tang Qiu apologized in a low voice.

Fan Shengmei smiled, "There is nothing to be sorry for, as you said, people have to grow up, and there will always be problems, just breaking up..." It's not a big problem.

Breaking up with Tan Zongming, she had expected such a day long ago, but now she just came out of the dream and told her that what she should do now is to face the dilemma of her own life.

There is no need to care about some things, the more you care, the more you lose.

However, from Tang Qiu's point of view, Fan Shengmei originally wanted to express her disapproval, but her tone became more and more straightforward, and it did seem a bit dazed and trying to cover up.

But at this time, she obviously doesn't need comfort from his words, he is not an important role, what he said is just a smile, so she doesn't need such a hasty and eager confession from him, as if impatient Like a fool who sneaks in.

It's not that he can't wait a day, he still has patience.

"Okay, let's eat. I'll try to eat as much as possible and waste less." Putting aside the boring topics just now, Fan Shengmei took the initiative to divert them away, and gestured to Tang Qiu with the okra again.

"Well, then you should drink more soup." Tang Qiu nodded.

—————Boundary line—————

"Thank you for the meal today, it is the most meal I have eaten in so many days." Fan Shengmei said with a smile before getting off the car.

Tang Qiu smiled slightly, "Just eat enough."

"Then boss, drive carefully, I'm leaving." She waved and got out of the car.

Tang Qiu nodded, watched her get out of the car, saw her standing outside the car, waved goodbye, quietly watched her smile and turned into the Ode to Joy community.

I don’t know when the hot night brought some coolness. I raised my head and looked at the dim light. Two strands of thread floated in the light. After staring at it for a while, there were more and more thin threads that were only a few strands. Lingering.Unknowingly, the car windows were covered with a thin layer, more and more, the night sky weaved a rain net, and after a while, the raindrops became heavy, and the wipers had to be turned on.

It's really time to go back, I'm afraid it will rain heavily in a while.

Thinking about it, Tang Qiu looked at the Ode to Joy community again, and slowly drove away from the spot.

Not long after he left, a figure alighted from a Porsche not far away, holding an umbrella and wearing casual clothes, walked towards the gate of Ode to Joy Community, and stood silently at the gate of the community for a while.

……

"Let's not talk about whether I agree or not. You broke up before you figured it out. It's not like your style of doing things."

……

Not to mention the value of this breakup, the hidden dangers came out really quickly.

This Tang Qiu...

The man in the rain stands still while raindrops beat against the top of the umbrella.The line of sight is usually this front, and I have been looking at it for a long time.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a person coming out not far away. He walked around the ground floor of the complex, and saw that person stretched his neck to look around, and then stood at the same position that Fan Shengmei had just stepped up to.

The view in the rain was not very good, but a sense of familiarity came over my face, especially when the man took out his phone and took pictures of the bottom of the building, and looked at the phone for a while.

The man in the rain was about to take a few steps back. He didn't want to be discovered, but he didn't want the man to be very sensitive. He suddenly looked up at the direction he was standing, and ran towards the depths of the community at a high speed. He didn't even have an umbrella. No one was there.

The man in the rain strode back suddenly, put away his umbrella and threw it back into the car, and made a phone call when he got in the car.

"Hello, Old Yan."
