The rest of your life is long, you are the most unforgettable

Chapter 7 Can You Be My Girlfriend

1
Sometimes dreaming and occasionally going back to that drunk late night.

That hormonal night stirred by the warm summer night wind.

Haitang once thought, would she and Ji Pengyuan have started without that night?It should still be possible, just in a different way.But at the beginning of that night, the attraction to each other, the temptation and temptation of soul and body, was more in line with their style.

Chess meets opponent.

That night, a group of them came out of the hotel.

After stuffing the customer into the driver Xiao Li's car and slamming the door, the drunk Ji Pengyuan waved goodbye to the customer, accidentally staggered, and fell back on Haitang before he could stand still.Haitang, who was wearing ten centimeter high heels, hugged Ji Pengyuan almost unsteadily, so they didn't fall down together.

Ji Pengyuan turned around, the bride hugged Haitang, and said, "Xiaotang, I'm so happy, I finally signed this big contract. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh then I love you Beijing!"

"Ah..." Haitang exclaimed softly, but was immediately infected by his joy.Yes, for this order, they have worked hard day and night for a long time, their nerves were tense and they dared not slack off in the slightest. Now that they finally got it, their whole body relaxed, and they just wanted to vent their anger by shouting wildly.

Just like that, Ji Pengyuan hugged Haitang and ran along the neon-shiny Xidan Street. He smelled of alcohol, his face was flushed, and the collar of his snow-white shirt was open, revealing the young man's strong chest.

Haitang raised her head, as if the brilliant neon lights of the whole world were flying above her head, and she fell into an abyss exuding dangerous temptation. She looked up at Ji Pengyuan's face, which was not particularly handsome, but young and attractive. Face.

Suddenly the neon lights above her head shook violently, it turned out that Ji Pengyuan staggered again, her heels were propped up on the ground, and his upper body was still hugged tightly by him.He leaned down and kissed her lips, breathing heavily.

Haitang hesitated for a second whether to push him away, but was instantly seduced by his masculine charm, no matter what, such a night that needs to relax the nerves is suitable for a carnival.

Someone passed by them and took out their mobile phone to take a picture. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw it. He strode forward and snatched the person's mobile phone. Like a hooligan, he yelled at the person and deleted the photo. up.The whole process is neat, man enough!The man snatched back the phone, turned around and scolded as he ran, "Crazy!"

Haitang laughed happily for some reason.Ji Pengyuan looked at her and said, "Do you think we look like two psychopaths?"

She continued to laugh non-stop, she didn't know whether she was getting confused by the alcohol, or her head was swollen by the slightly drunk night wind, she suddenly longed to kiss his lips again.

So, when he took her hand and stood in front of the counter of the express hotel, she looked him in the eyes and didn't turn her head away.

On the white sheets of the hotel, a drunk Ji Pengyuan kissed Haitang's neck wantonly, and the young man's skin covered her body.She felt as if she were in a vast ocean, and one high wave after another pushed her up, as if she was about to reach the moon in the dark night sky outside the window.

At this moment, she doesn't want to think about anything, she doesn't want to think about anything, life is already so difficult, it's better to have a moment of secret love.

She is too tired. For this case, she and Ji Pengyuan have been following up three or four months ago, from managing relationships to following up with key people, and then focusing on the planning case and finalizing the contract in the past month. One thing is who to contact today and how to proceed with the case.

Never dare to relax for a moment.

After taking the commission, I have to pay the rent, water and electricity for the next three months, and then send most of it back home to pay off the debt.

Haitang sometimes wonders, at the age of 25, might she have endured more than her peers?She dare not fall in love, dare not slack off, as a helpless "beijing drifter", she has to rely on herself for everything; besides, there is a messy family behind her, who owes a huge amount of money The family in debt weighed on her like a mountain.

The joy that Ji Pengyuan brought her at this moment made her forget everything for a while.

She longs to enjoy a moment of tenderness and pleasure like her peers, even if it's just a short, distracted one-night stand.

2
At that time, Haitang didn't know that she would fall in love with a salesman like herself lying beside her.

After all, who could have foreseen the future?
However, the body is honest until the soul has not recognized the opposite soul.In this way, perhaps it can explain why she let Ji Pengyuan get her easily, because she also wanted to.

And not just for a moment's lust.

At noon the next day, Ji Pengyuan caught Haitang in the tea room.

"Why are you avoiding me?"

Haitang, who was holding the coffee, turned her face to the side: "I don't."

"Men are also conscious after drinking, so I will take responsibility." Ji Pengyuan held Haitang's shoulders with both hands, with a sly expression on his face, trying his best to conceal the seriousness in his heart.

"You're overthinking, there's really no need." After Haitang finished speaking, she brushed Ji Pengyuan's hand away and walked out of the tea room.

She knew Ji Pengyuan's puzzled and confused expression behind her. She really had no intention of provoking a man with strong hormones and ambitions; In a brutally competitive city, thousands of young people struggle desperately, struggling on the verge of food and clothing.

"Responsible? How to be responsible? The company does not allow employees to fall in love, is he out of his mind?" Haitang thought contemptuously as she walked.What's more, she still has such a heavy debt on her body, and she doesn't scare him to death if she says it, how can he be responsible?

It's okay to keep each other warm occasionally, but it's unnecessary to talk about true feelings.It is irresponsible to talk about true feelings under such circumstances.

Go back to your seat, look at your phone, there are several WeChat messages, all sent by Ji Pengyuan——

"You must have thought I was drunk last night, and I swear to God I didn't.

"It feels like no matter how you explain it, you won't believe it, but in fact, I really like you.

"If you can, can you be my girlfriend? I will be responsible for you.

"I'll treat you to dinner after work, let's chat..."

……

There were several more, and Haitang didn't bother to read them all, so she replied directly: "No need, just pretend we were careless after drinking yesterday, there's nothing to be responsible for, we're all adults, just be happy, OK?"

There is also an unread message from my colleague Zhu Dandan: "Dear me, wait for me to have lunch together at noon, see you at the old place."

Zhu Dandan is Haitang's colleague and best friend. The two of them are not in the same group, and there is no competitive relationship, so they can live in peace.Unlike Haitang, Zhu Dandan is a local with no ambition and no pressure from work and life. He came to this company as a salesman only because he was tired of being nagged by his family at home, so he found a job.

She is good-looking, can drink, and she has all the two things that are necessary for an excellent salesperson. In addition, she is eloquent, so although she is lazy, her business is not bad.This makes Haitang jealous at times, after all, she spends so much time making phone calls every day to follow up on customer resources.

Admit it, talent is really more important than hard work in this world, the harder you work, the more you will clearly realize where your innate deficiencies are, such as looks, cleverness, and manliness... These begonias are willing to admit defeat of.

"Oh, I'm really convinced by my old mother," Zhu Dandan began to chatter as soon as she sat down, "She has found some crooked melons for her daughter! I am such a delicate beauty, at least I deserve it." What kind of rich second-generation official second-generation will do, I will worry about not getting married?"

"Hahaha, the rich second generation official second generation? Where is it? If there is one, remember to leave one for me." Haitang teased her.

"I'm only 25 years old. My mother is so anxious. She's so worried that I won't be able to get married." Zhu Dandan flipped through the menu and said indignantly.

"Maybe Auntie just wants you to reserve seed players earlier, who made you single?" Haitang teased her.

"You have the nerve to make fun of me, as if you're not single." Zhu Dandan didn't take it seriously, "But seriously, have you noticed Ji Pengyuan in your group? Does he have a girlfriend?"

"Ah?" Haitang had just picked up a piece of meat, and when she heard the name, her hands shook, and the meat fell off, "I don't know, I don't know about his personal affairs."

After all, she felt her ears were burning hot, her face and ears should be red, she quickly lowered her head and continued eating, for fear that Zhu Dandan would notice something strange.

3
Although Haitang rejected him, Ji Pengyuan did not back down.

He stared at Haitang's side face in a daze.

He has been thinking for several days, why is Haitang so indifferent after that night?After all, they've both had sex. According to common sense, girls should be more eager to confirm the relationship than boys at this time, unless... no, no, she doesn't seem like the kind of girl who can have one-night stands.Could it be that she felt embarrassed after drinking and regarded him as an irresponsible and frivolous man?Does she dislike being poor?Although he is indeed a poor boy who has only worked for a few years, she doesn't look like a rich girl who dislikes the poor and loves the rich...

He has liked her for a long time.

From the moment he entered the company, he noticed this girl.

In fact, she is a very sweet girl, but she always gives people a sense of distance, like a kingfisher, always on guard against something.

She seems to have said little about her personal affairs, but he nonetheless confirmed that she is single.Because once at lunch, Zhu Dandan jokingly offered to introduce her a boyfriend, but she immediately refused, saying that she was still young.

According to the nature of girls, when they are eating and gathering, most of them will chat noisyly about some thoughts, such as falling in love, quarreling with boyfriend, and complaining about the company's leaders... This is the biological nature of women , They have to rely on speaking to complete the most basic social interaction.

But at this time, Haitang eats quietly and listens to other people's chats.In this way, Ji Pengyuan had no way of obtaining more private information about Haitang.

A good-looking and unpredictable woman has a fatal attraction to a man.

He decided to give up such an inefficient way of "observation".

After get off work, he invited Haitang's best friend Zhu Dandan to eat hot pot.

Zhu Dandan looked extremely excited.

Although it was in an atmosphere of noisy people, lingering smell of food, and no emotion, she still blinked her eyes and listened to every word Ji Pengyuan said very carefully.

Ji Pengyuan has a high EQ, so he didn't ask straight to the point, but first talked with Zhu Dandan about some of her own topics in a roundabout way, and then settled on Haitang, such as: "Where do you live now, is the subway crowded after get off work?" "After get off work Did you drop in with Haitang? Where does she live?" "You love spicy food so much, are you a girl from Sichuan?" "Will you go out with Haitang on weekends?" But the woman's sixth With a very accurate sense, she still quickly saw through the man's deliberate and lame hypocrisy.

Zhu Dandan vaguely sensed the real purpose of this "date" she cherished this time. No, this is not a date at all, and her role is just an information provider.

Zhu Dandan lowered his head and silently ate the konjac shreds in the bowl, it was tasteless.

Ji Pengyuan asked himself.Zhu Dandan raised his head suddenly, and asked in a low voice: "Do you like Haitang?"

Zhu Dandan herself was taken aback when she said this, she was completely unaware of the suspicion in her heart and blurted it out.

"What, what did you say?" Ji Pengyuan didn't expect his scheme to be seen through so quickly.

Zhu Dandan raised her voice and repeated it again: "Do you like Haitang?" This time, she spoke slowly, almost saying it word by word.Clearly, beyond doubt.

Ji Pengyuan opened his mouth, he was caught out so quickly, he was a little unexpected.

Zhu Dandan looked at him, and didn't want to hear the word "Begonia" from his mouth again, it was too harsh, at least she didn't want to hear these two words again during this meal.

"She seldom talked about family affairs. We went shopping together a few times on weekends, but I usually bought her. Sometimes she looks like a child, and sometimes she gives people a very deep feeling, as if she has hidden a lot of thoughts. In fact, we are not very close, although it seems that we are very close. There has never been such a private conversation between girls." Zhu Dandan finished in one breath.

She realized that her tone was harsh and aggressive, but she couldn't care less.She also wanted to maintain a gentle and sweet image in front of Ji Pengyuan, but why was she inferior to Haitang?
Friendships between females are strange, seemingly intimate, but secretly contest who is more attractive.So when Haitang took the initiative to be friends with her after joining the company, Zhu Dandan mistakenly thought that he was superior to her in all aspects.

She looks more charming, feminine, and has a more friendly personality, and can get along well with her colleagues... She really can't think of anything she can't compare to the eccentric Haitang.

At this moment, Ji Pengyuan's thoughts are all on Haitang.He was very disappointed. It turned out that even her close friends didn't know more about her.

After that, the two of them ate in silence, each with their own concerns.

After coming out of the hot pot restaurant, Ji Pengyuan sent Zhu Dandan to take the subway.

Then I walked alone in the cool night wind, under the overpass there were congested vehicles, going back and forth, like lonely fish.

At this moment, he really wanted to hug that girl named Haitang.

Close your eyes, take a deep breath, as if you can still smell the breath of her body.

She is in his ubiquitous miss.

But he knew almost nothing about her.

Ji Pengyuan and Haitang won the big order together. The company's senior management specifically named them both at the meeting, and announced a temporary news that the company's East China region is temporarily short of a regional manager. In view of the two of them's recent excellent performance , the company will select one of the two of them to directly serve as the regional manager.

After the meeting ended, Haitang received Ji Pengyuan's WeChat message: "I've been thinking about it for a few days, can you be my girlfriend?"

Haitang became impatient, and replied directly: "We are in a competitive relationship now, are you trying to compete unfairly?"

When he saw Haitang's news, Ji Pengyuan stood there for a second before realizing: "Do you really want to compete for this position?"

"Otherwise, don't you want to?"

Ji Pengyuan didn't reply again.He didn't expect Haitang to have such a strong sense of professionalism, like a man.Recalling the process of the two of them taking the order together in the past three or four months, he likes her, and what he likes is the tenacity in her, the kind of persistence that will try everything to break through when encountering difficulties and being suppressed.He always remembered that after everyone got off work, she was alone in the empty office writing a plan; when he went out to buy fast food, he would sometimes see her lying on the desk for a nap when he was so tired. After waking up after hearing his voice, he continued to work quietly...

She didn't say anything, even in such a mutual support situation, he tried to approach her, her silence always kept him at a distance.

The more mysterious a woman is, the more eager a man is.

Until that night, the night that surprised him, everything went back to normal after waking up.

If he hadn't actually touched her skin, if he hadn't entered her body so intimately, smelled the fragrance of her hair and body, and the trembling of soul and body when he reached the commanding heights of pleasure, he would have almost I thought that night was just a dream, the kind of erotic dream a man has for a woman he loves.

Once a man becomes affectionate, he will make a decision that shocks him.

Ji Pengyuan talked with the company's leaders and voluntarily gave up the competition. The reason was that he was more willing to fully tap the existing regional resources and develop the business in depth.The company leaders didn't ask too much, and announced Haitang's appointment on a certain day.

The news spread like wildfire, and Haitang still knew that her appointment was due to Ji Pengyuan's courtesy.

"Why give it to me? I don't need you to let me, we can compete fairly." Haitang asked Ji Pengyuan to talk on the roof of the company.

"Haitang, are you always so proud and guarded? Do you feel tired like this?" Ji Pengyuan looked into Haitang's eyes, and instead of answering her, he asked another question.

"Does this have anything to do with you?"

"Yes, because I like you."

"You gave me the position of regional manager. I won't thank you for it. That night was really just a momentary distraction. Forget it." Haitang looked into the distance and said.

"Haha, so in your eyes, I am such a person. Give you the regional manager, and exchange it for a moment of Spring Festival?" Ji Pengyuan approached Haitang, "You think too low of yourself, I don't want to change Come, I want you to take the initiative to give it to me."

Haitang took a step back and looked at the man in front of her carefully. She suddenly felt that she had underestimated the domineering and controlling desire in this man's heart.

"I don't blame you. People like us who are alone in the big city of Beijing have no sense of security and are only on guard. They never believe in good things that fall from the sky, as if there is a huge conspiracy hidden behind all good things. But Haitang, you When you are tired, have you ever thought about having a shoulder to lean on? When you come home late at night, turn on the light, what is waiting for you is not a cold empty room? When you are happy, someone will share with you, and when you are sick, someone will treat you Knowing cold and hot... I don't know why, when I think about this, I hope that person is you. Maybe it's the dependence I have had on you over the past three or four months when we worked on cases together, but please believe, all this It's not because of that night." Ji Peng didn't look at Haitang far away, and muttered these words, as if talking to himself.

Haitang was surprised by his inner confession, and for some reason, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and her eyes even felt warm.Ji Pengyuan's words touched those soft places in her heart.

If she hadn't been burdened with the family's debts, even if she was just an ordinary little Bei Piao, she wouldn't be under so much pressure now.Many times, after she finished overtime work, she walked down from the last subway, and the dark road home made her terrified to death. All the crime scenes flashed in her mind, such as robbery, rape, and throwing corpses in the wilderness...everything There was a little trouble, and she ran all the way home crying.

How much she needs a shoulder to lean on, no one knows this better than her, but who can she confide in?She can only arm herself as a woman who doesn't need love, no, a woman like a man.

5
Because the company clearly stipulates that office romances are not allowed.

Therefore, Ji Pengyuan's pursuit of Haitang is silent, calm, meticulous, gentle and expectant.

For example, an umbrella that suddenly appeared on the table on a rainy day, a cup of iced black tea during afternoon tea time in hot summer, a cup of lukewarm coffee after working overtime at the desk for a long time, and a bouquet of flowers from an anonymous person on festivals and birthdays, as well as morning and evening gifts. Good morning, good night SMS...

It was him, it was all him, the man who said he liked her and wanted to have a warm little home with her in this lonely and cold city.

Haitang's heart was invaded bit by bit, the more a woman pretended to be strong, the more irresistible she was to tenderness.

But she still hesitated.

Love is a dreamlike imagination, but reality is cold and cruel.A man's tenderness and sweetness are nothing but greed for a woman's beauty, soft body, and self-righteous bright future.

How about letting him know the truth?Knowing that she has a debt of more than 100 million yuan, will he still like her?

Do not be silly.

Everyone has already lived so hard in real life, so how can they let themselves suffer again and again?
So every time she thinks this way, she will promptly put away the gentle response that is about to be released.

She likes him, but can't show it.For ordinary people, it might be a painful thing, but for Haitang, it was just one of many hardships. She was used to fate treating her so harshly.

On the contrary, she was willing to accept Ji Pengyuan's pursuit unilaterally, and silently enjoyed his tenderness and care.This let her know that there is still someone in this world who loves her.

But she forgot, how long can unrequited love last?

We are all just mortals, and all our efforts are eager to be rewarded. Her Haitang longs to be loved in this world, and so does Ji Pengyuan.

If a person works hard for a long time, he will get tired; if he looks forward to it for a long time, the accumulation of disappointments will turn into despair.Just like food has a shelf life, like a rubber band stretched for too long, it will lose its elasticity.

Ji Pengyuan gradually became disheartened.

At this time, Zhu Dandan resigned.

To everyone's surprise, she launched a fierce pursuit of Ji Pengyuan.

A beautiful, clever, and lively girl is a huge attraction for men in itself; what's more, she is a local girl in Beijing who in turn pursues a helpless, moneyless girl. A man from other places who has no power, everyone thinks that Zhu Dandan is crazy.

"I quit my job just to pursue you, to be your girlfriend." Zhu Dandan waited at the door of their company to have dinner with Ji Pengyuan.

Zhu Dandan became willful, like a child.

Ji Pengyuan had no choice but to stay with her.

"You know I like Haitang." Ji Pengyuan said coldly, he was really not in the mood, because he just had a closed door at Haitang's this morning.

"I know, you gave up the regional manager for her, you gave her so many flowers, and so much tender love..." Zhu Dandan said mischievously.

"How do you know? Did Haitang tell you?" Ji Pengyuan asked curiously.

"How do I know? Of course I know, because I like you, so I will pay attention to all your actions." Zhu Dandan smiled, making people feel distressed.

"Being liked by you, I am very grateful."

"Haitang won't like you. I once thought that if Haitang accepted your pursuit, then I would wish you lovers to be married, but if she didn't accept you, then I have to take the initiative to pursue such a good man as you are. Haitang and I are completely different women. I can be the woman behind a man. My ultimate goal in life is to be a good wife and mother. I like to slow down my life and not be so purposeful and utilitarian. But Haitang is different. She has career ambitions, she wants to make money, maybe it's because of nature, maybe it's because of family reasons, who knows, she never said anyway, if she was a man, she would be a cool and attractive man. So you know? You two are very similar sometimes, both of you are proud inside, but you are very different, you are the one who will let go of pride for love, but she is not, her pride seems to be tied It’s on the head, I can’t take it off.” Zhu Dandan chattered a lot.

Ji Pengyuan pondered for a moment, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.He felt that women were the strangest creatures in the world, their powers of insight and analysis were simply astonishing.Maybe it's because the bystanders are clear.

From the perspective of a third person, it was the first time that he saw the relationship between himself and Haitang so clearly.

Haitang sealed herself up like a bottle, even if Ji Pengyuan was alone, he couldn't see the future.

The rationality of a man is that once he has a qualitative judgment and definition on something, his attitude will change accordingly, and he will not repeat it easily.

6
Not long after Ji Pengyuan and Zhu Dandan fell in love, Haitang finally accepted the pursuit of a small entrepreneur.

Ji Pengyuan felt a little lonely in his heart, it turned out that it's not that she doesn't know how to love.He had personally seen that small businessman driving to pick up Haitang, and she greeted her happily, like a dexterous bird.

That person can make her live comfortably, introduce her to better customer resources, and help her at work, so is it because of these that she is with him?But even because of these, there is nothing worthy of criticism. After all, it is really not easy for a girl to work hard outside.He still feels a lot of pressure as a man, let alone a girl.

It is often said that you have to do your best to live the life you want, but the reality is that many people can only walk the path they want to walk if they choose an easy path first.This is the difference between reality and dreams.

Ji Pengyuan is a contented man, because he knows that Zhu Dandan is indeed a more suitable woman for him.

With the help of small entrepreneurs, Haitang's debts have been reduced a lot.She had no intention of accepting his help, but during a date, her mother called and asked her to send more money temporarily, so she had no choice but to turn to him for help.

She doesn't know what the future will hold. Now that she is in love, she can finally let go of the pressure temporarily like other people of her age, and live a life of being loved and being loved.Whether she will break up or get married in the future, she doesn't think about it anymore. In fact, isn't everyone's life like this?
In the face of life, we can only take one step at a time.
