Chapter 27:

Don't Be Afraid of My Business Trip

My beautiful female editor in chief


I took the bag in Qinger's hand and walked to the dormitory with Qinger: "Why did you come without saying hello? Aren't you afraid of my business trip?"

"You always have no time to greet me, and you often don't call me back when you call me," Qinger looked at me wrongly: "I watched the TV news yesterday, and a deputy chief editor of the People's Daily came to Jianghai to inspect, and there was your shadow in the camera. I saw that the deputy chief editor left, and I guess you should also come back... I came directly..."

Qinger is so smart. I praised her and said, "Why don't you wait for me in the dormitory? Didn't you take a key of my dormitory last time?"

"I'm afraid you will go out to interview again. I don't know how to live in the dormitory. What's the meaning of keeping the empty room alone?" Qinger said, holding my arm affectionately.

I shook Qinger's arm and said, "There are colleagues all around. Pay attention to the influence..."

Qinger was shocked: "What's wrong with your colleagues? Are you afraid your colleagues will know? We are in love openly, what's the matter?"

I suddenly found myself out of line, speechless for a moment, and walked forward.

When Qinger saw that I didn't talk, she no longer pursued me. She held my arm and pursed her mouth: "Hum, I just let your colleagues see that I am your girlfriend, and your female colleagues will give you advice... I know that the girls who are journalists are very open..."

This time, I didn't dare to swing Qing'er's arm again.

"By the way, my best sister Lan in our department, who is over 10 years older than me, is very kind to me. She often invites me to her home for dinner..." Qinger began to whisper in my ear.

I listened carelessly, quickened my pace, and just wanted to hurry to the dormitory.

"By the way, I just learned that Sister Lan and the leader of your press department are still good friends. Hee hee... This is really a coincidence..." Qinger followed me closely.

"Oh..." I was a bit interested. "You mean Director Liu? Liu Fei?"

"It's not Director Liu, it's Director Liu, Liu Yue..." Qinger continued: "Sister Lan and she are actually college students. They are in the same dormitory, and the upper and lower bunks... It's a pity to hear that Sister Lan said that Liu Yue has been transferred to the province, otherwise, I let Sister Lan talk to me, and Liu Yue will take good care of you..."

I was shocked and stopped at once. I looked at Qinger and said, "Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

"What's the coincidence? Isn't it a classmate? It's not normal?" Qinger looked at me and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, I will take you to Lan Jie's house another day. She heard that you are an old subordinate of Liu Yue, so she specially invited you to be a guest..."

I stared at Qinger with my mouth half open: "Qinger, did you tell Sister Lan about us?"

"Of course, I told you, I said my fiance is a reporter of Jianghai Daily," Qinger said with pride, "I often show you your name in the Jianghai Daily in the office... Everyone praises you for your good writing..."

I suddenly found that things were not fun. My heart suddenly became heavy. I shrugged my shoulders and said to Qinger, "Let's go back to the dormitory for dinner."

Qinger looked at me with a strange expression: "Brother Feng, how can I find you are not normal?"

I walked quickly to the dormitory and said, "I'm normal. Don't be suspicious."

Qinger didn't speak any more and followed me back to the dormitory.

I suddenly felt strange between myself and Qing'er, and there was nothing to say when we met. The words Qing'er was whispering in my ear, which I once loved to listen to, were now even dull.

When I am with Liu Yue, no matter what I say, even if I don't speak, I will feel so full of emotion, so warm and tender, and time passes so fast

I felt a sudden sense of shame in my heart. I went back to the dormitory and silently cooked for Qinger. What I cooked was egg noodles.

Qing'er looks like I'm not looking well, and I'm also very good. She doesn't talk much anymore. She's busy tidying up the room and washing clothes for me.

"Brother Feng, do you want to lift the pillows and mattresses on the bed and take them outside to bask in the sun? It's a fine day today..." Qinger said to me, holding up the pillows.

As soon as I heard it, there were letters from Liu Yue under the mattress under the pillow. I hurriedly said, "Qinger, don't, I will take a nap later, don't sunburn..."

Qinger listened to me and looked at my face again. She put down her pillow and said nothing.

After the meal was finished, I greeted Qinger for dinner. Both of them had a quiet lunch with their minds in mind.

After dinner, Qing'er asked me to sleep for a while. I was also feeling sleepy. Last night, I was tossing around in the mountains with Liu Yue until midnight, and I was really exhausted.

I was very tired. I climbed to bed and went to bed. Qinger was not idle. She continued to clean the room and wash clothes. She was busy outside the door for fear of disturbing me to rest.

In a daze, I heard Qinger close the door and go to bed.

I know that Qinger is busy, and I also want to come up and have a rest.

Sure enough, I heard the sound of Qinger's rustling, and then a soft body shrank into my arms, like a kitten, curled up beside me, fell asleep quietly, with one hand still holding my arm.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable lying with Qinger. When I opened my eyes and sat up, the room had been cleaned by Qinger. It was clean and tidy, though simple.

Qinger looked at me waking up and smiled, "Brother Feng, did I wake you up?"

"No, Qinger, can you sleep for a while?" I rolled out of bed, put on my coat, and sat down at the writing desk. "I have a manuscript that hasn't come out yet. I have to hurry to write..."

Indeed, a non-event news I interviewed a few days ago has not been written because of its poor timeliness.

"Hmm..." Qinger also got up, poured me a glass of water, put it on the desk at the head of the bed, and then went back to bed and lay down.

I washed my face and started writing.

I am still very attentive when writing. Qinger is lying quietly on the bed. I write at the desk beside the bed, almost forgetting myself.

An hour later, when I finished writing, I breathed a sigh of relief and turned my head. Suddenly, I saw Qing'er lying motionless on the bed, but her eyes were not closed, looking at me with a wink.

I packed up my manuscript and looked at Qinger: "Qinger, why are you looking at me? Why don't you sleep?"

"I can't sleep, I want to see you..." Qinger, with a pillow in her arms and a pillow in her arms, is half rolling on the bed, looking a little gloomy.

"What do I have to look at?" I smiled.

"I haven't seen you for more than a month, and of course I want to take a good look at you..." Qinger still lies on the bed, his mouth bulging: "You don't want to see me? You don't want me?"

"I......" I looked at Qinger and said, "I...... Am I worth your thinking?"

"What do you mean, how did you say that?" Qinger glared at me: "Of course you are worth my thinking, you are my fiance, I certainly miss you, you are the man in my life, the only man in my life..."

My heart suddenly sank. I was indifferent to Qinger's words. I just felt that something was falling rapidly in the bottomless abyss

"When are you going back to school?" I blurted out again.

"You're sick. As soon as I arrived, I asked when I would return to school. Of course, I would like to go back tomorrow afternoon, but it's okay to go back the day after tomorrow. If you have time, I'll spend an extra day with you..." Qing'er sat up, leaned against the bedside, hugged the pillow, and looked at me.

"Oh... so you're staying here tonight?" I said again.

"Yes, nonsense, what's wrong with you today? It's so abnormal," Qinger reached out and touched my forehead: "No fever..."

My heart was tense and my heart was pounding. I was thinking that I should have a good talk with Qinger sometime. The matter could no longer be avoided.

"You don't have a fever, why do you sweat so much on your forehead?" Qinger took out a paper towel to wipe my sweat, and said: "Are you using your brain too much these days, and your body is weak?"

I feel more nervous and guilty.

"Let's go out for a walk, go to the river to relax and see the scenery in autumn..." Qinger got up and put on her coat and took my hand.

I also want to go out for a walk, so I went out for a walk by the river with Qinger.

"Brother Feng, we rarely see each other once. I'm so happy to see you..." Qinger took my arm and said softly, with light steps, "I really like holding your arm like this and watching autumn with you..."

With a sigh in my heart, I looked up at the yellow leaves falling from the poplar trees, falling askew onto the slowly flowing river and drifting away with the river

I finally made up my mind that this matter must not be delayed any longer. Before Qinger leaves tomorrow, I must have a complete showdown with Qinger.

In the evening, I took Qinger to eat seafood and ordered Qinger's favorite big crab and oysters.

Qinger felt a little distressed: "Brother Feng, it's too expensive. This meal is enough for us to eat for half a month..."

Like me, Qinger's family is a civilian family, not rich. Half of her salary is sent to her family every month. She usually lives frugally.

Before joining Liu Yue, I always believed that Qinger was a good woman with a good wife and mother, and was the most suitable woman for me.

However, in the past few months, the situation has changed dramatically. I still think Qinger is a good woman, but she is not the best woman for me.

My heart ached a little and smiled: "Qinger, do you like to eat?"

"Hmm..." Qinger nodded, and the horse's tail at the back of her head turned up: "It's delicious, but it's too expensive... It's so painful after eating..."

I couldn't help laughing: "Eat it, don't worry, I'll treat you..."

Qinger doesn't know. This is our last dinner.

"Hmm..." Qing'er nodded again and ate happily, "Brother Feng, why don't you eat?"

I'm not in the mood to eat this. I'm thinking about how to give Qinger time to talk to Qinger. Hearing Qinger say this, I smiled: "I interview everyday and often eat seafood outside. You eat it, I don't eat it..."

Qinger looked at me and smiled happily: "Brother Feng, you are so kind, you really love me..."

My heart was sad for a while, and my lips could not help pursing and forced to smile.

After dinner, Qinger and I walked back to the dormitory. Qinger will stay here tonight.

I took the bedding out of the cupboard and planned to build a floor.

Qinger stopped me: "Brother Feng, let's go to bed together. It's not the first time. Don't take the floor..."

So we slept in the same bed.

After turning off the light, Qinger groped around my body in the dark
