Chapter 177 But he still broke his promise

   His slightly hoarse voice was like stepping on fallen leaves in late autumn, with a rustling feeling.

   Qianyue's ears seemed to have an electric current slipping through, hitting all her nerves, and then fiddling with her heartstrings.

   She was forced to look at him, her pupils reflecting the face that was close at hand: "What do you want to say?"

   "I was wrong." Zhou Yanshen's Adam's apple rolled.

   He resisted the urge to kiss her frantically, and stroked her skin with his fingertips: "Forgive me?"

   Unexpected inquiry.

  Qianyue: "Mr. Zhou." She removed her hand from his chest: "What I want is preference."

   "I can give it."

   "Wait until you do it."

   What she wants is not words.

   Zhou Yanshen moved inside: "I will prove it to you with practical actions, but you can't be absent."

   "What is absence?"

   "Ignore me, don't see me."

  A light response overflowed from Qian Yue's lips.

   "I will not be absent." Her soft attitude was enough to explain everything: "You let me go first."

   "One more hug."

   "No." She glared at him angrily: "How can you cuddle before falling in love?"

   Zhou Yanshen knew that she was different from others, so out of respect, he only let go with regret.

   "Qian Yue." He propped himself up on the sofa, his throat was extremely dry: "Can you pour me a glass of water?"

   "Wait." Qian Yue picked up the kettle.

  Her graceful figure was refracted on the TV wall, and was shattered by the light from the floor lamp.

  Zhou Yanshen looked away from the wall shadow and raised his left hand to take the glass she handed.

   He drank half: "Are you free tomorrow?"

"how?"

   "It's nice to have a hot spring resort near Mount Xiangnan, let's go and relax?"

   Qian Yue captured the tension in his eyes, the nervousness of being afraid of being rejected and not wanting to be disappointed.

   "I don't have a swimsuit." She restrained the smile that was about to burst into her eyes, and indirectly agreed to him.

   "It's fine." Zhou Yanshen couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, his back relaxed: "I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

   "The resort should have it for sale."

   "The style over there may not look good." He just wanted to do his best and give her the best.

  Qian Yue followed him: "Then buy it."

   She sat with Zhou Yanshen in the living room until eleven o'clock, and they didn't mention what happened in Xinghe again, as if they had returned to the past.

   Zhou Yanshen, who received responses everywhere, put down the glass that had already cooled down with satisfaction.

   Agreed on the time to meet, he gave her a gentle look before walking to the entrance: "Good night."

The word    contains countless emotions, which is more eloquent and more beautiful than the embrace of the transcendence.

  Qian Yue smiled back: "Good night."

   She held the doorknob, her eyes followed the shadow wrapped in the corridor lamp, and closed the door until he disappeared.

  *

   In the dark of night, a taxi swept through the silent and uninhabited streets and stopped at the entrance of Lufu Bay.

  The car door opened, and Gu Quan, who was full of alcohol, faced the cold wind, and was driven in by the coldness.

   During this time, he was busy day and night, not only to digest what Gu Chengyi taught, but also to meet different partners on different occasions and drink different wines with them.

  Gu Quan was very tired, so tired that he didn't even know what night it was, and he went home exhausted physically and mentally.

   But he knew that this was the only way to become the general manager of the Gu family, and he could not relax.

"Meow-"

  Two wild cats swooped through the grass with their backs hunched over, and the flashed afterimages condensed next to the public seats.

   Behind the seat are two mottled and worn bowls, one with water with floating green grass and the other with brown cat food.

  Gu Quan stopped and sat on the bench.

   He looked down at the two cats, a long-lost but clear enough memory flashed in his mind.

   It was the height of summer.

  Lin Jiao moved into Lufu Bay not long ago. In order to get familiar with the environment of the community, she went out for a walk with him on a starry night with evening wind.

   "Gu Quan, did you hear the cat meow?" She seemed uncertain, looking up at the man beside her.

   "Is there?" Gu Quan didn't pay attention.

   He watched her look around, and followed her footsteps to an unremarkable grassy edge.

The closer the    is, the more pronounced the meowing.

  Lin Jiao followed the sound and pushed aside the grass, letting two scrawny wild cats break into their sight.

   "Too thin." She frowned, her clear eyes full of love: "They shouldn't have eaten for a long time."

   "There is a convenience store in front." Gu Quan brushed the hair from her cheeks and led her forward.

   They bought canned cat food, cat food, large bottles of mineral water and two blue plastic bowls.

   He is allergic to cat hair, so he didn't approach him during the feeding process, just sat on the bench and quietly watched her coax the cat.

   "I won't hurt you."

   "Don't grab Xiaohua, there's still in the bag."

   "Good boy..."

  The wind at night was very cool. The tail of her white dress hanging on the ground was blown into a shallow arc by the wind, like the soft blue silk, leaving a shredded light under the streetlights.

   She stared at the two cats after they finished eating the cat food. In the end, she didn't mean to take them home to keep them. She just smiled and said to him, "Gu Quan, shall we come to feed every day from now on?"

   Gu Quan said yes.

   But he broke his promise.

   At the beginning, he would also listen to her talk about the cat's current situation, such as which neighbors fed her with her, such as Xiaohua beat Xiaobai again, such as the more they eat, the fatter they get...

   Later, she who could not wait for him to say "Let's go see the cat" never mentioned it again.

   is like that summer, never going back.

   "Mr. Gu." The security guard holding the patrol light walked up to him: "Need help?"

The dazzling light from the    patrol lights, and the respectful voice, pulled back into Quan's thoughts.

   "No." He stood up on the armrest, and took one last look at the two cats that were fat into balls.

   He walked in different directions with the security guard, turned his back to the light that seemed to shine into his heart, and walked into another person's house.

   The light in the living room was still on.

   Su Tian, ​​who was watching TV, heard footsteps and greeted him: "Aquan, have you been drinking again?"

   "I didn't drink much." His consciousness was still clear, otherwise he wouldn't remember the past.

  Gu Quan leaned lazily on the sofa, the tiredness of his brows and eyes made him not want to speak.

   But, Su Tian, ​​who was hiding something in his heart, couldn't calm down: "Are you going to have a vacation tomorrow?"

   "Endless."

   "What about the day after tomorrow?"

   "I haven't had a vacation recently." Gu Quan narrowed his eyes and looked at the oil painting hanging opposite.

   He is really busy, so busy that he has dark circles under his eyes.

  Su Tian leaned into his arms: "It's been a month since you promised to take me home."

   She was having a hard time during this time.

   I will accompany Xiao Song's friends twice a week, and when I meet someone who can play well, I will bring a lot of scars.

   Afraid that Gu Quan would see those traces, she almost never did anything with him after she met Xiao Song.

  I am also glad that he is busy and has no mind.

   But the repetitive life is really uncomfortable, and it makes her more eager to marry into the Gu family every day.
