Chapter 8 Be My Girlfriend

Monday was Cheng Jia's busiest day of the week. After two regular meetings, it was already noon. In the afternoon, she called another departmental meeting. After the meeting, Cheng Jia was a little tired.She was sitting in a chair in a daze when Li Ye called.

"Hello, Mr. Li!"

"Call me Li Ye!"

Cheng Jia laughed.

"Cheng Jia! I need your help with a personal matter! I wonder if it's convenient for you?"

Cheng Jia paused, thinking about how Li Ye could need her with Qixing Company full of talents: "You're welcome! Tell me!"

"My cousin is going to travel to XZ with her classmates. I said by the way that a friend has stayed in XZ for a few years, and my aunt asked me to help with the planning. A group of little girls go so far and they don't let adults follow. I really don't feel at ease! "

As soon as XZ was mentioned, Cheng Jia became interested: "There is nothing to worry about, they can go there by train and then return by plane from Nyingchi Airport, so they can pass Hoh Xil..."

"How about it, Cheng Jia! I can't tell you clearly on the phone. Do you have time after get off work? I'll take my cousin to see you!" Li Ye said.

Cheng Jia hesitated for a moment, "Ah... yes."

Li Ye went on to say: "Where is your home? My sister is still in class now, and she probably won't finish school in a while. It's more convenient for us to meet near your home! It just so happens that her school is also in the same area as your company, so it's probably not far from your home." Far……"

Cheng Jia said: "Okay! My home is here in Xianlin, call me when you arrive!"

Li Ye said briskly, "See you later!"

"See you later!" Cheng Jia replied.

After work, Cheng Jia went home to prepare for Li Ye's appointment.

Li Ye was still driving his white Land Rover. When he saw Cheng Jia, he opened the co-pilot door for Cheng Jia, and the two smiled at each other.

There was also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sitting in the car, and Li Ye introduced them to each other.The little girl stared at Cheng Jia for a long time, and then said in surprise: "What a beautiful young lady!"

Cheng Jia was very embarrassed, she smiled and asked, "Are you going to XZ to play?"

"Yes! I'm going with a few close friends!"

Li Ye interrupted them: "Let's find a place to eat! Chat while eating! What do you want to eat?"

"Brother! I made an appointment with my classmates to go to the cram school, so I can't have dinner with you!"

"Then how do you eat? Besides, you haven't started talking about your going to XZ!" Li Ye said seriously.

"I'm sure I won't be hungry! It's my mother who wants to go to XZ, not me! What are we so afraid of? My mother likes to worry!"

Li Ye looked at Cheng Jia in embarrassment, then turned to the little girl and said, "Don't talk nonsense! What do you know? Do you think everything is as safe as home? What do you want to eat? I'll take you there!"

"You send me to the subway station, my classmates are waiting for me at the next station!" After she finished speaking, she leaned forward and grabbed Li Ye's arm: "Good brother! Please! If you don't send me, I will Go!" After speaking, she looked at Li Ye with threatening eyes.

They stared at each other for two seconds, and Li Ye shook his head: "I've convinced you! Whatever you want! Miss, then I'll make arrangements for you! You can pass your classmate's ID card to me later!"

The little girl smiled triumphantly, said sweetly: "That's great!" and stuck out her tongue at Cheng Jia.

Li Ye sent her to the subway station, the little girl jumped off the train, tilted her head and waved goodbye to Cheng Jia.

Li Ye shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Little girl! If you say wind is rain, you can do whatever you want!"

Cheng Jia said: "How wonderful! It is the age of carefree! This age should be like this!"

Li Ye asked Cheng Jia with a smile: "I don't know what you like to eat yet? What do you want to eat? Let's talk while eating!"

Cheng Jia smiled politely: "I can do anything! You are welcome, you can take care of your business first. As for the arrangement to go to XZ - you tell me your request, and I will arrange it and send it to you! The hotel over XZ , I know the tour guide very well, and I also have friends..."

"No matter how busy I am, I still want to eat. Let's eat together! What do you like to eat?" Li Ye smiled, his eyes were bright and powerful, as if he wanted to nail what he was looking at.

Cheng Jia smiled lightly: "You can see it, I can do it!"

Li Ye pursed his mouth mischievously: "Then let's see where there is beef sauce, the kind that can be eaten with tsampa!"

Cheng Jia laughed.

They got off the car near Nanda.

The two walked and watched while walking on the road. The vicinity of the campus was very lively, and there were all kinds of snacks.Cheng Jia and Li Ye attracted the attention of passers-by, this combination of handsome men and beautiful women was particularly conspicuous among the college students in twos and threes.

In the end, Li Ye chose a steakhouse that looked good.The waiter greeted them warmly, and arranged them in the corner by the window on the second floor according to Li Ye's request.

The decoration of the hotel is not gorgeous, but it is warm and romantic. There is a singer playing and singing softly in the center of the hall, with a gentle voice.Cheng Jia listened carefully. Under the soft light, she was demure, beautiful and charming.

Li Ye looked at Cheng Jia and asked, "Cheng Jia! Where did you go to university?"

Cheng Jia turned her head: "University in Harbin!

"Is Harbin particularly cold?"

Cheng Jia smiled: "It's okay! Although our place is cold, we have heating at home. The winter here is actually quite uncomfortable. The flowers are blooming, but we can't find a warm place from morning till night!"

"There is air conditioning!"

"It's uncomfortable to blow the air conditioner for a long time!" Cheng Jia said.

Li Ye nodded: "Actually, it's okay. Now the house with constant temperature and constant oxygen is also comfortable. But the small air conditioner blown by your company is really uncomfortable!"

Then he looked at Cheng Jia and continued: "At first glance, I thought you were a southern girl, but I never thought you were from the north!"

"why?"

"You are more delicate than northern girls, with bright eyes and a hint of childishness in your gentleness." After speaking, Li Ye looked at Cheng Jia affectionately.

Cheng Jia felt that he was looking at her nervously: "I'm not as good as you said? I'm so embarrassed!"

Li Ye said softly: "Don't be embarrassed, you should get used to it, because you deserve it!"

Cheng Jia lowered her head and blushed.

Li Ye went on to say, "I've always wanted to ask you, but I was afraid that you would be angry and dare not ask!" He stopped and looked at Cheng Jia.

Cheng Jia raised her head.

"Is it because you can't forget your ex-boyfriend, that's why you didn't fall in love?" Li Ye said cautiously.

Cheng Jialue hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "No, if it was really that memorable, I wouldn't have left at the beginning! But we did have a lot of problems back then! My job was not very stable at the time, and I was very ambitious. What about it? I listen to my family more!" Cheng Jia smiled: "It's not that I don't want a boyfriend, it's that there is no one suitable for me!"

"What kind is suitable?" Li Ye asked her back.

Cheng Jia frowned: "Actually, I can't tell...I like it!" Cheng Jia smiled slightly.

She didn't want to talk too much, so she immediately asked Li Ye: "What about you? What does your girlfriend do?"

Li Ye looked at Cheng Jia firmly: "I don't have a girlfriend!"

Cheng Jia's eyes widened unexpectedly: "It's a bit unbelievable, how can you be so good without a girlfriend!"

"I studied abroad a few years ago. I don't like foreigners very much. I am nervous about my studies every day. I have no chance to fall in love!" Li Ye drank his saliva and looked at Cheng Jia: "I have been busy with work since I came back. Competent for the job, because of my father, sometimes I have to be better. So I haven’t thought so much about it, and like you, I haven’t been tempted too much.”

Cheng Jia listened carefully. She didn't want to know too much about other people's privacy, and she didn't know what to say.

Li Ye didn't mean to stop: "Although I seem to live a good life, in fact, I have to rely on myself for many things! My family has recruited girlfriends for me, and I have tried to talk to a few, but I feel a little bit less. In comparison, work still makes me feel satisfied. So I don’t want to waste any more time!”

Cheng Jia nodded in agreement, but still didn't say much.

Li Ye hesitated to speak, looking at Cheng Jia, he didn't know what to say.

Cheng Jia felt it, she took a breath carefully, and looked at Li Ye: "It's actually easy to arrange for your sister to go to XZ, depending on where you live, you need to choose a suitable hotel, and I will arrange a tour guide for her, and I can ask a friend to help her They find a suitable car and driver..."

Cheng Jia wanted to continue talking, but Li Ye interrupted her. "Cheng Jia! I actually asked you out today, and my sister's matter was only one of the reasons."

Cheng Jia was a little panicked, she hurriedly said, "Actually, you don't have to come here in person, I can..."

"Cheng Jia, don't interrupt me! For me, it takes courage to say something! I haven't chased girls before, so don't blame me for being direct!" He looked at Cheng Jia nervously after speaking.

Cheng Jia's heart sank: "I don't understand what you're talking about!"

"You know what I'm referring to? I like you, Cheng Jia! I've liked you since the first time I saw you!"

The air suddenly froze.

Seeing that Cheng Jia was silent, Li Ye asked, "Do you have someone you like?"

He tilted his head and stared into Cheng Jia's eyes.

Cheng Jia was a little overwhelmed, she said: "Thank you! It is my honor to be liked by such an excellent person like you! I believe that in the future, I will meet someone who can join hands with me for the rest of my life and live an ordinary and simple life. You are too good! We are not from the same world. Certainly not suitable!"

Li Ye was a little hurt: "Excellent? Is it wrong?"

"Cheng Jia, I don't like to be sloppy, maybe I'm too direct to scare you, in fact, I'm not very good at confessing to girls... But one thing is true, I really, really like you! "

Cheng Jia said calmly: "Our social status is too different, and our living environment is also very different. We are people in two worlds. People in two worlds will not have results. Things that have no results should not be done. Continuous."

"Cheng Jia, I don't want to hear what you said! You treat me...or put it this way, do you hate me?" Li Ye said unwillingly.

"it's OK!"

"Then can you give me a chance? Cheng Jia, I'm not joking. You give us a chance to continue to understand each other. If there is no result as you said, I will be convinced anyway!"

Cheng Jia looked at Li Ye, Li Ye's eyes were sharp, with anxiety and longing inside.He's a handsome, fine man.

Xie Yangzhao used to be a handsome and outstanding boy, but in the end it was not so much that he left him, but that he gave up on her.That feeling, that feeling of disappointment day by day scared her so much.

Thinking of these, Cheng Jia couldn't help feeling sore.

Seeing Cheng Jia's tear-filled eyes, Li Ye panicked: "Cheng Jia! Why are you crying? I didn't expect to scare you!"

"Li Ye! I'm not the target of you young masters!
You asked me why I broke up with my boyfriend, the truth is because he has a good job, I don't.We also have a very beautiful past, but we are so vulnerable in the face of reality.He is like this, let alone you?

I don't have the courage to face this sense of gap for the second time, and I won't even try! "

Cheng Jia stood up: "I'm sorry! I'm sorry for my gaffe. If it makes you uncomfortable, it's not my intention. Just pretend that you didn't say anything today, and I will send you my XZ friend's phone number, thank you dinner!"

Cheng Jia was about to leave, but Li Ye grabbed her hand and let go hastily.

"I send you!"

"No need! It's not far from my home, I'll just go back by myself!"

Li Ye was silent for a while: "Cheng Jia, it's still okay to send you off, don't refuse me!"

Cheng Jia also didn't want to be too decisive.

"Okay." She said in a low voice.

The car drove very slowly, neither Li Ye nor Cheng Jia spoke, the neon lights of the city were reflected on Li Ye's car window—it was radiant, but it made Cheng Jia feel sad, this city is so big, she suddenly felt that she didn't Gen, a little helpless and confused, she is always chasing after, so tired of chasing but still can't catch up...

When they got home, Cheng Jia said, "Thank you!" and was about to get off the car.

Li Ye gently took Cheng Jia's arm.

"Cheng Jia, I know I was too sudden to scare you! I can wait, I can prove my seriousness, I want to protect you, and have your every morning and every evening! The future is not as big as I thought It's far away, but I look forward to having you in the future!"

Cheng Jia looked at Li Ye and felt a warm current in her heart.

She gets out of the car and goes home.

Li Ye looked at her back, thought of Cheng Jia's teary eyes, and felt pity in his heart. He felt that Cheng Jia didn't like him, but was afraid of being hurt, so he chose to shrink back.

He started the car, facing Cheng Jia - he was bound to win.

"This is just the beginning! Cheng Jia, you can't escape!" - Li Ye stepped on the gas pedal.
