A heartbeat, a lifetime

Chapter 24 Drawing Hearts (5)
"I didn't know how to do interviews." I blackened my face.

"Well, let's exchange." His eyes were unusually bright at this moment.

"What do you mean?" I had a bad feeling.

"I ask you a question, you can ask me a question. You can ask anything." He made the rules, "It's fair."

I want to say it's fair, it's obvious that I'm here to interview you, and it's obvious that you are going to be featured in a magazine, but this young man put on a look of "If you don't want to, you will pull it down".My mind went blank, I neither agreed nor disagreed, stood up, "I'm going to the bathroom."

I turned around and was about to go out, he leisurely pointed in the opposite direction, "There is a bathroom right next to it."

"No," I said stiffly, "I like to go outside."

When I went out, my face was so hot that I saw his secretary stand up and asked with a smile, "Miss Bai, is it over so soon?"

"Where is the bathroom?"

Although she was a little surprised, she still smiled and showed me the way.

When I was walking along the long corridor, I was not in a hurry to go to the toilet, I just needed a period of time to calm down and reflect on this person's increasingly weird attitude towards me.

After dipping my hands under the warm water for a while, I couldn't help but lower my head, splash some on my face, and look at myself in the mirror wetly.After being injured a while ago, she didn't need to lose weight, she lost weight spontaneously, or maybe because she stayed at home for a long time, her face was a little pale, and the pink scar on her forehead became more obvious.I pushed my hair forward, trying to cover the scar, then took a deep breath and encouraged myself: "Bai Xi, go! Why don't we just chat?"

When the door was pushed open again, Shen Qinjun still had the same expression, as if he didn't mind my sudden escape just now.He sat up straight and asked me enthusiastically, "Can we start?"

"Let's go." I put the paper and pen away, "What do you like about her?"

He answered very frankly, "I like her beautiful."

"...That's it?" I was dizzy.It's too shallow.

"Isn't it the appearance that attracts you at first sight?" He said casually, "Okay, I should ask you—why do you major in accounting in university?"

...Does it have anything to do with you?I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, and said sullenly, "It was suggested by the teacher."

He was startled, and asked, "Then do you like it or not?"

I don't know how to answer. In fact, my grades in high school are really good, and the teacher has high hopes for me.Later, the results came out, and I did get the first place in the school.My situation was a bit special when I filled out the volunteer application, because there were no adults at home, and the head teacher finally made the decision for me, "You should apply for a major in finance and accounting at Ningda University. If you study a practical major, you won't be unable to find a job in the future."

"But don't you like art?" Shen Qinjun slightly frowned.

I smiled helplessly and tilted my head slightly. The question this person asked was as funny as "why not eat minced meat", "a child who grew up in an orphanage, do you think I am qualified to pursue dream?"

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if he hesitated to speak, "So that's how it is."

"Will Miss Qin continue filming after marriage?"

"Follow her own wish." He said lightly, "And you, what is the most rebellious thing you have done since you were a child?"

I really couldn't laugh or cry, "Why do you want to know these things?"

He squinted his eyes, very rogue, "I want to know, what does it have to do with you?"

"..." Well, I paused, and said, "I have followed the rules since I was a child. The rebellious thing is probably because I like to skip classes. The class teacher's class is the first class in the morning, and I left after listening. But my grades Well, the teachers won't say anything about me either."

When I think back to the days before, I suddenly feel very happy.

"What are you doing skipping class? Are you going home?" He asked, not knowing why, with a dazed look on his face.

"No, I just wandered around the street, or went to the supermarket for a while. But at that time I had no money, so I just used my eyes to see."

He said "um", but his tone was a little strange, as if he was a little sad, comforting a wounded child.

"It's my turn. It's still the same question, why do you like Ms. Qin? If it's just because of her beautiful appearance, the freshness should only last for a short period of time, right?" I still didn't want to let go of this question, and continued to ask persistently. .

He restrained his expression and thought about it seriously, "I think she...is very cute."

I was startled, Qin Mou, is she cute?If she is well-behaved, she won't have frictions with film companies and advertisers several times as her agent said.He seemed to see my doubts, and smiled casually, "The troubles she caused are not troubles in my opinion."

"Then what kind of trouble is the real trouble in your opinion?" I asked curiously.

"Many things." He sighed softly, "Many things beyond our power."

The sun fell from his side, and the man's long eyelashes cast a dense shadow under his eyelids. I suddenly felt that he was really sad at this moment.

Maybe... it reminded him of his parents?

For a while, the two of us fell silent like a demon.Until her secretary dialed the internal line, the hands-free voice rang in the office: "Mr. Shen, the time for the next appointment is here."

I quickly stood up, but for some reason, I breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll go first."

But he frowned, as if he still had something to say, and said without hesitation: "Push first..."

"But—" the secretary said in great embarrassment, "Miss Qin invited you to try dishes at the hotel."

I wisely found the next step for him, "Well, I'll go back first. I have to sort out the manuscript when I go back."

One foot had already stepped out of the door, and he suddenly called out to me: "Is the injury from last time really healed?"

I always feel that when he talks to me recently, he is either yin and yang, or he wants to stop talking, maybe it is because men also have marriage phobia?I looked at him with some sympathy, and said earnestly: "You should still care about yourself."

Back at the magazine, I looked at the scattered interview clips in my hands, and I couldn't laugh or cry. "There is no love at first sight. The first reason to like her is because she is pretty..." I scanned the past roughly, and felt that no matter what, I couldn't write a manuscript that would satisfy both the editor-in-chief and Qin Mou's agency. .

Colleagues left work one after another, and the lights were still on in my cubicle in the huge office. I was absent-mindedly waiting for the takeaway to be delivered. I typed a few words hastily, and then deleted it again.Compared to being able to work without sleep during photography, writing this article is really killing me. At the current speed of 29 words per hour, I made a pessimistic prediction. I guess... I will have to write it until next month .

Um?Just now I asked him where did he meet Qin Mou for the first time?I bit the tip of my pen and suddenly couldn't remember.

By the way, there is also a voice recorder!

But in an instant, I remembered in frustration that I was too flustered just now, and I seemed to have forgotten to take it out.

I fumbled in my coat pocket, took out the recording pen, and discovered to my surprise——I turned on the recording pen just now, but I kept it in the coat pocket and didn’t take it out.

Although it was separated by a layer of fabric, there was still the noise of chairs rubbing against the floor, but it was good to have a sound.I was eating fresh shrimp and wonton while listening to it, and suddenly thought, since when did our conversation become so cautious? !

Maybe... I shouldn't have confessed my love to him in a fit of anger back then, right?
There was another long noise. At that time, I went to the bathroom to calm down... Then who is Shen Qinjun talking to?Around the time I was away, the sound of his phone call was recorded, and I subconsciously pressed the pause button, always feeling that it was not good to pry into other people's privacy like this.Just the moment I clicked the mouse, I suddenly heard my name.

What he said was not very clear. I only suspected that I had heard it wrong, so I pulled it back for a few seconds, listened carefully, and listened again.

His voice was low and cold in the headset, I could only hear a few keywords clearly, but it was like falling into an ice cave in an instant.

Shenghai Welfare Institute——

That's where I grew up, in obscurity, in a city far away.

I really don't think it has anything to do with Shen Qinjun.

But he said on the phone: "...the Shenghai Welfare Institute, you can deal with the list of sponsors."

Many of the things that happened, I might have just thought a little weird before, but now that I think about it carefully, it turns out that it is not that simple.When I first entered Roewe, why was I so lucky to get the grand prize at the annual meeting?The funniest thing is that such a thoughtful and serious person as Shen Qinjun "invited" me to be his girlfriend after meeting him once, and revealed so many secrets about his relationship with Qin Mou to me.Also, if he just asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend, why did he bring me home, introduce him to grandpa, and even give me a house in a big way?

The more I thought about it, the more creepy I felt. The whole thing seemed to be a complete and sophisticated conspiracy, which shrouded me bit by bit, but I was like a fool from the beginning to the end, at a loss.

I took off the headset and rushed to the bathroom, splashed cold water on my face quickly, and put my hands on the edge of the sink. The urge to call and question me just now had been suppressed. I remembered telling him in Yedong that I seemed to be There are relatives, but he subconsciously refuted me, with a decisive attitude and a little panic.

Calm down... I have to calm down.

Only when he finds the exact proof, he will have nothing to say.

So where is the proof?
When I thought of his words, it was creepy, but it also made me enlightened.

In the orphanage where I grew up, there must be information about the patrons of the year.
