She Can Also Be Gentle

In the new week, Chi Nuan has no intention of working at all, and all he has in mind is the coming Saturday.

On Friday afternoon, Zhao Jingjing called Chi Nuan. She was on a temporary business trip and slipped back to Yuncheng as soon as she finished her work. After graduating, she stayed in other provinces to work. She hadn't seen you for several months. She clamored to meet in a barbecue tavern tonight, and she must get in touch with each other.

At this time, the late warmth, because tomorrow's interview, the nerves are already on the edge of the tightest. She crazily wants to see Gu Ningzi, but what can she say after meeting? Gu Ningzi had forgotten her. For countless days and nights, there was no one word that could be confided to her in the words that had been turning back and forth in her heart.

Her waiting heart won't get any response again.

Chi Nuan was not sure whether her emotions would get out of control in the face of Gu Ningzi like this.

Zhao Jingjing's invitation came at the right time, and Chi Nuan urgently needed something that could divert her attention.

When she arrived at the barbecue tavern, the fat and lean pork belly was already sizzling on the baking tray. Du Min greeted her: "Teacher Chi, hurry up, Xu Dan will eat this meat soon."

Zhou Damao smiled and said, "What is'Chi's teacher', it will be'Chi's special help' right away, come on, let's have a cup of'Chi's special help'."

The others agreed, and the atmosphere became hot. Everyone held up a large mug, and Chi Nuan also toasted. After the five people hit the glass, she simply took a big mouthful in it.

"...If you stay a little longer, and you don't have much alcohol, the beer will be intoxicating. Don't you have to pick up the little phoenix tree in a while?" Du Min, the closest person, patted Chi Nuan on the back. The beer here is brewed by the owner, the exclusive signature, smells good, and it is easy to drink, but it has stamina.

"Well, it's okay at this point," Chi Nuan said.

"Where did I just say?" Zhao Jingjing thought for a while, "Oh, by the way, my superb menopause supervisor..."

Zhao Jingjing's chirping is a big complaint.

After Xu Dan listened to it, he only felt that the pediatrics department: "Tell you, Nuan Nuan's recent experience at school is the cause of myocardial infarction, otherwise he would not think about changing jobs."

Xu Dan talked while eating, and when she finished speaking, Zhao Jingjing really exploded her hair: "I wiped it! This is a dog school! Who is this!"

Zhou Damao also sighed with rare emotion. He patted his legs and said: "When you are a student, worry about your grades. I think it’s better to grow up. Who knows that living in this society is even more difficult—I don’t know who’s in the way lately. Dao, I was maliciously complained every three times."

Du Min took peanuts and threw him away: "You can pull it down. When you were a student, I didn't see you worry about your grades."

Zhou Damao avoided and smiled modestly: "This, I still **** it occasionally."

Xu Dan knocked the bottom of the cup on the table: "Come on, everyone, to a glass of life that makes people superb."

…

The old friends chatted lively, but after half a cup of Chi Nuan, he stopped drinking. She knew in her heart that she would get drunk if she drank again.

Alcohol is really a good thing, no wonder they all say that alcohol is used to dissipate sorrow. A moderate amount numbs the nerves just right, and people are less anxious and uncomfortable.

Chi Nuan held his chin and heard Zhou Damao talk about a pretending to go to his restaurant to eat and then pretend to be stabs everywhere. He mimicked and vividly, everyone laughed from ear to ear, Chi Nuan also laughed, Zhou Damao said and said. Suddenly his hand shook and knocked over the dipping saucer. He stood up hurriedly, regardless of the embarrassment at the table, and waved at the entrance of the tavern: "—Here! Here! Gu Ningzi!"

Everyone who was eating meat and drinking stopped, Chi Nuan was stunned for half a second, and then turned back abruptly.

Under the bright lights of the pub, Gu Ningzi stood in front of the curtain, with red lips and black hair, and her expression was cold and distant.

Hearing her name, her eyes became focused, and she walked towards their table step by step.

Every step she took was like stepping in Chi Nuan's heart, she was almost unable to sit still in a panic.

I thought I would see you tomorrow, but I never thought it was tonight. She was not ready yet, even if she had alcohol to help her out, it wouldn't help, at the moment she saw Gu Ningzi.

Xu Dan was obviously excited: "Zhou Damao with you! Keep it from us! How did you invite this big Buddha? Didn't it mean that you have amnesia?"

Zhou Damao quickly explained: "I contacted her assistant with the mentality of trying it out. The assistant said that she would pass it on, so I don't know if she will come!"

Gu Ningzi walked closer, and all five people stared at her unblinkingly. She sat down on the nearest empty chair and found that the eyes of these people were still not condensed, and the eyebrows were lightly frowned: "Why are you looking at me like this? There is a problem?"

Zhou Damao subconsciously took Du Min's shoulders, "hahaha" laughed three times to ease the embarrassment: "No, just...it's a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect you to come...ha, ha, ha."

Gu Ningzi said, "It's not you who made me sure to attend today's classmate gathering?"

Zhou Damao nodded like garlic: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Gu Ningzi's gaze fell on Zhou Damao's arm on Du Min's shoulder: "Are you together?"

While speaking, he added the next sentence blankly: "Unexpectedly."

"..." Zhou Damao retracted his hand. Except for Chi Nuan, the expressions of the others were a little subtle. Later, Xu Dan, who was still carefree, said first. She, we thought you forgot everyone!...so why didn't you recognize Nuan Nuan that day?"

After Gu Ningzi appeared, Chi Nuan's eyes couldn't be removed from her. At this time, she was staring at her, her heart beating faster and faster, every word Xu Dan said was what she wanted to say.

Gu Ningzi remembered them, did they remember them all the time, or did they remember them all this week?

—No matter what kind, she knows them now, otherwise she won't show up in this place tonight.

Sure enough, Gu Ningzi said: "It's been too long, and I only remembered about Yizhong after seeing her resume."

The flame in Chi Nuan's heart was ignited all of a sudden, and his eyes were bright as if stars fell in them. Her lips rose and drooped uncontrollably, and she wanted to laugh and cry.

Gu Ningzi said she remembered it!

Gu Ningzi turned her eyes to look at Chi Nuan, and said flatly to everyone: "If I remember correctly, she took me to pick up the school uniform on the first day of the transfer."

She looked at her eyes, and looked at Du Min and the others, there was no difference.

So that's it...No, it's been almost six years, and it's inevitable if you don't recognize it for a while, don't you all say that the dignitaries are busy? Everyone smiled relievedly, Xu Dan said loudly, "Walk one, celebrate the next reunion", and took the lead in raising the mug.

…Is this kidding? In the next second, Gu Ningzi would secretly tell her that this was just teasing her on purpose, right? They had the closest relationship in the world, and she couldn't treat her like ordinary classmates.

No, there is no reversal.

The hope in Chi Nuan's eyes, little by little, disappeared. She left to go to the bathroom, almost turned around, tears rolled down, and she hurriedly wiped them away.

Can't cry, don't cry, a table of people is waiting for her, she can't cry.

This week, she didn't know how she came here. She always thought that Gu Ningzi had completely forgotten her, but she didn't.

She remembers her, but she just doesn't remember that she once loved her.

…Gu Ningzi, what have you experienced that you only forget about loving her? It’s because persistence is too painful, that's why it is selectively forgotten, isn't it?

The reality hurt her more than Chi Nuan had imagined. After separation, Gu Ningzi must have had a bad life before forgetting her, very bad.

Chi Nuan covered her mouth and hid quickly into the bathroom.

In her two decades of life, she hated fate more than once. But if this is the price for her and Gu Ningzi to meet again, she is willing to accept it and is grateful.

Compared to the pain of losing her brother forever, Gu Ningzi went and returned. Even without that memory, it was already the best and most precious gift from fate to her.

…

After Chi Nuan calmed down and came out of the bathroom, Gu Ningzi had left at some point.

Chi Nuan stood blankly for a while before walking back.

"I’m Mr. Gu now, with the word'total', time is always precious, understandable. She is a person doing great things, and how much profit can be created by meeting us at this little time?" Zhou Damao said that he yearned for it.

Xu Dan saw that Chi Nuan’s eyelashes were still wet, and asked her what’s going on. Chi Nuan said, “I vomited.”

Xu Dan looked at her sympathetically.

Chi Nuan took her bag: "I'm leaving too, and I'm going to pick up the little phoenix tree."

Du Min stood up: "Is it okay? Zhou Damao is drinking, otherwise let him take you there."

Chi Nuan said, "I ate too much barbecue, drank alcohol again, and vomited, it's okay. Go ahead, Zhao Jingjing will rarely come back... Zhao Jingjing, I'm leaving now."

Zhao Jingjing held Chi Nuan's hand, rubbed her forehead against the back of her hand and said, "Nuan Nuan, see you next time."

Chi Nuan said, "Well, let's make an appointment next time."

She lifted the curtain and walked out of the tavern.

At the end of November, it was cold outside. As soon as the cold wind blew, the heat that was on Chi Nuan's side suddenly dissipated. She wrapped her scarf and was about to raise her hand for a taxi, and saw Gu Ningzi on the street.

Gu Ningzi was listening to the phone. Chi Nuan stared at her back. After she finished the call, Chi Nuan mustered the courage to walk over: "Gu Ningzi."

Gu Ningzi turned her head.

Chi Nuan told herself that her expression should be natural and smile: "...I want to tell you that we have missed you all these years."

As Gu Ningzi listened, her eyes fell on Chi Nuan's face. Chi Nuan's eyes are darker and brighter than obsidian. Under light makeup, the corners of his eyes and the tip of his nose are red.

A car pulled over and stopped, He Zhen got out of the car and held the door: "BOSS...Miss Chi?"

He Zhen suddenly realized: "Miss Chi, are you and the boss classmates?"

He Zhen: "No wonder you were a little dumbfounded when you saw the BOSS that day."

Chi Nuan didn't know how to respond to her last sentence, so she nodded and said, "Yes."

Gu Ningzi opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

Seeing her getting in the car, He Zhen naturally had no reason to greet Chi Nuan outside the car again. Smiled at Chi Nuan, He Zhen sat back in the driving seat and was about to drive, but found that the door of the back seat was not closed.

She looked at the boss in the rearview mirror, guessing whether she simply forgot to turn off, did not want to turn off by herself, or had other meanings, such as...

He Zhen looked out the car window, Chi Nuan was still standing on the street.

He Zhen got off the car again: "Miss Chi, I almost forgot. I originally asked you to see you tomorrow. Since I met you tonight by such a coincidence, why don't you get in the car and talk to the boss about work."

Gu Ningzi turned her head to the other side blankly.

Chi Nuan was reluctant to part with Gu Ningzi at first, she got into the car according to her words, and He Zhen asked her where she was going.

Chi Nuan first thanked Gu Ningzi, and then said Xiao Wutong's school address.

He Zhen: "It's a coincidence, it's completely on the way, the boss now lives in the area of ​​Henan Mountain."

Henan Mountain passes through the small town where Chinuan lives, and is the most expensive villa area in the entire Yuncheng environment.

No wonder they ran into her car on the streets of the town last time, and they have been very close for the past six months.

He Zhen explained to Chi Nuan as he drove: "The group is going to expand into the Chinese market, and the BOSS may look forward to it for a long time.... It is true that Miss Chi, BOSS has also interviewed several special assistants before, but none of them fits the eye."

Chi Nuan listened carefully, focusing on Gu Ningzi, and said with no confidence: "You have read my resume. I don't have relevant work experience in this industry for the time being..."

"I don't need this kind of experience," He Zhen said, "This is the BOSS's personal recruitment of life assistants. It is not related to the group. It only needs to serve the BOSS's food, clothing, housing and transportation. By the way, Miss Chi, how is your kitchen craftsmanship?"

Chi Nuan quickly realized that this might be the only chance to get close to Gu Ningzi again. She hurriedly said, "It's okay."

He Zhen: "Do you have a driver's license?"

Chi Nuan: "Yes."

After Chi Qingchuan passed away, Chi Nuan was very afraid of traffic for a while. In order to overcome fear, I learned to drive.

He Zhen smiled and said: "The most important point is the nature of BOSS's work. He will travel on business at any time. If necessary, private special assistance will follow unconditionally."

"..." Chi Nuan's lips trembled and did not answer for a long while.

He Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Have difficulties?"

Chi Nuan had been thinking about it for too long, and Gu Ningzi, who hadn't responded for a long time, turned her head to look at her.

"...I have children to take care of." Finally, Chi Nuan said.

He Zhen: "The little boy from last time? It seems that his age is not yours. There is no other family member who can help you?"

Chi Nuan: "Well, no more."

Looking at Chi Nuan's expression, He Zhen could probably guess that it was life and death. She turned to Gu Ningzi, wondering if there was any need to talk about it. In her opinion, people whose families are too deeply tied may not be suitable for this job. —To be honest, it's a pity, Chi Nuan's classmate status should have added a lot of points to her in the BOSS.

The street light shone through the car window and fell on Gu Ningzi's side face. The car has been driving in the intended direction, and no one continues this topic.

It's time for Chi Nuan to get out of the car outside the school. Even if he doesn't give up, he still maintains the only remaining reason, restraining and politely saying to Gu Ningzi: "Goodbye, Gu Ningzi."

Gu Ningzi: "Yeah."

Chi Nuan opened the car door, went down and turned around: "Gu Ningzi, can you give me your current number?"

Gu Ningzi didn't speak, she just took out her mobile phone and dragged her head down.

A few seconds later, the warm cell phone rang, and the strange number flickered on the screen. Gu Ningzi glanced at Chi Nuan silently and hung up.

…She had saved her number in advance, Chi Nuan thought sourly.

The car melted into the night and drove away.

Chi Nuan went to the nursery school in a daze to pick up the little Wutong, and the little Wutong yawned: "Teacher wants to write words silently. I will write down the pinyin first, and then silently face the pinyin. Mom, you said I did this. OK?"

Chi Nuan still thought of Gu Ningzi, turning his head to look in the direction where the car disappeared.

The red taillights were lit in the night, and a car went upside down along the inner street, and finally stopped in front of Chi Nuan.

He Zhen's voice: "Miss Chi, get in the car and take you and your child home."
