The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 111 The Little Prince Who Fell into the Water
Thursday, February 12th.

Jiang Xueqiong works in Qingting as usual. Although she has thought about resigning, it does not mean that she will be perfunctory in her work.

She is a serious working woman, and she has a different view on love from ordinary people.

In her last relationship, she was able to ignore the huge age gap between her and her ex-husband, so it is not surprising that she can now create sparks with Huang Zhenhua, who is obviously a scumbag.

Huang Zhenhua's thoughts and words could arouse her ambiguity. At that moment, this young woman who was full of romance and artistic atmosphere might have felt that this was love.

So she would ask Huang Zhenhua: "Do you think there is love between us?"

Huang Zhenhua didn't want to lie, but he also didn't want to ruin the atmosphere, so he replied:

“Love is like writing poetry with water, disappearing as you write.”

"so what?"

“So when love is deep, paper will get wet. We don’t need paper to prove it.”

"So what do we use?"

"sheet."

"..."

Huang Zhenhua's answer left Jiang Xueqiong speechless, but fortunately she regained her composure. Everyone was just taking what they needed!

It's too early to talk about love now.

She, Ms. Jiang, has no love!

Although Jiang Xueqiong thought so, not all the people in Qingting were blind.

The changes in President Jiang are obvious to all in their eyes!

Although this beautiful female boss dressed very femininely in the past, she always felt like something was missing?
It was not until Mr. Jiang, who seemed to have regained his youth, appeared in front of them that they realized what Mr. Jiang was missing.

soul.

In the past, Ms. Jiang had a woman's body but not a woman's soul. Especially at this stage of Ms. Jiang's life, the difference between having a soul and not having one is huge.

This also added to Qing Ting's recent private gossip, with everyone speculating about who the man is that gave President Jiang a second spring in life.

But when everyone was just treating it as gossip and making random guesses, one employee's eyes lit up.

"Tina, this is the progress report for next month's flower art exhibition, please take a look."

Han Ying stood in front of Jiang Xueqiong's desk and handed her the report respectfully.

Then, while the other party was reading the report, she looked at Mr. Jiang carefully.

"Tina's skin, her eyes, her charming smile..."

Han Ying was sure that Tina had a man.

As for who that man is?

The first person she thought of was the person she had already suspected - Huang Zhenhua.

She has not forgotten what she eavesdropped outside Tina's office. From that time on, she vowed to bring Tina down!
Unfortunately, Han Ying didn't notice anything happening between Tina and Huang Zhenhua in the past two years.

Especially since Huang Yimei resigned later, she fell into self-doubt.

Where is the story of the new-age progressive urban woman who was bullied by people with connections in the workplace and then persevered and worked hard?
Now that the person with connections has left, how can this story continue?

Am I, Han Ying, not the one destined to be with you?

Seeing that Tina has been keeping to herself for the past two years and has not had any trace of contact with the brother of that relative, Han Ying couldn't help but feel deeply lost.

Can we really expect Tina to make a big mistake at work?

It's impossible to think about it. Tina has been in this industry for so long and is very experienced. How can we expect her to make a big mistake?

Moreover, even if something really went wrong, Han Ying didn't believe that General Manager Tina would not pass the buck.

Can a leader who can’t pass on the blame still be called a leader?

So, during these two years, Han Ying gradually went from disappointment to despair, and decided to just be a department manager!
But Tina's changes in recent times are like a ray of light shining in front of Han Ying.

Her dream of getting promoted can still be saved!
Tina has a man!

Han Ying, who was standing in front of Jiang Xueqiong at this moment, became active in her mind. Now, as long as she confirmed that Tina was really the third party and found evidence, there would be hope.

It would be especially interesting if we could connect the fact that Tina was the third party with her divorce from her ex-husband.

Jiang Xueqiong, who was reading the report carefully, had no idea that the subordinate in front of her was thinking about rebellion. However, even if she knew, she would only sneer with disdain.

I'm about to quit my job, what are you doing here?
As for who will take over after she leaves, she already has a candidate in mind.

Who else could it be besides Su Gengsheng?
Han Ying? Where is she from? She is not hers, so she has never considered him.

After reading the report, Jiang Xueqiong, who was still in a good mood, smiled and said, "No problem, but the progress can be slightly accelerated. If you have any questions, come to me again."

"Okay." Han Ying responded in a good mood.

After Han Ying left the office, Jiang Xueqiong pondered for a moment before standing up and knocking on the glass, asking Su Gengsheng to come to the office.

"Tina, you're looking for me?"

By the time Su Gengsheng came in, Jiang Xueqiong had already poured two glasses of wine.

After handing a glass of wine to Su Gengsheng, she said, "Su Su, I noticed that you haven't been in good condition recently. Is there something wrong?"

Jiang Xueqiong got the nickname "Su Su" after she found out that Huang Yimei called Su Gengsheng that way, so she started calling him that too.

When Su Gengsheng heard his boss and friend ask this question, he hesitated for a moment and then said:
"It's nothing serious. I just don't know what happened to Huang Yimei recently. I haven't seen her for a long time."

Huang Yimei was under house arrest during this period. Although she kept in touch with Su Gengsheng, she did not tell him that she was under house arrest.

After all, it was somewhat shameful that she was grounded.

And ever since Su Gengsheng's best friend teamed up with her brother to scare his biological mother away, he has been wanting to see his best friend more often.

It was a pity that he never saw Huang Yimei. Although Huang Yimei kept making excuses that she was busy, Su Gengsheng still felt something was wrong.

And she encountered another bad thing in the past two days.

The biological mother who was scared back to her hometown actually dared to call and ask for money, and the reason was that her beastly stepfather had an accident and needed money for medical treatment. If Su Gengsheng had already sold the house to pay off the debt, then she would send the extra money back to help her stepfather with his medical treatment.

Su Gengsheng was too lazy to reply at the time and hung up the phone directly. If the information of her friends and work contacts over the years had not been bound to this phone card, she would have changed her number long ago.

Something happened to that beast? Is there such a good thing?
Dead is best!
Su Gengsheng immediately shared the good news with his best friend, but unfortunately his best friend could only congratulate him over the phone and could not sneak out.

Well, ever since Huang Yime escaped through the window using a bed sheet, Huang's mother was prepared for her to do so and sealed the window that day.

When Jiang Xueqiong heard Su Gengsheng say this, she nodded calmly, indicating that she believed her words.

When Huang Yimei called Huang Zhenhua to help Su Gengsheng, she was in Huang Zhenhua's arms and used the phone to help.

So she also knew a little about Su Gengsheng's situation. Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, she did not ask any more questions and changed the subject:

"Susu, do you have any ideas about your work?"

"..."Su Gengsheng looked confused. Why did these words sound like a promotion and also like a dismissal?
Jiang Xueqiong has only told Huang Zhenhua about her upcoming resignation, and she has also specifically asked him not to tell anyone else.

So it is normal that Su Gengsheng didn’t know about this.

President Jiang is already preparing for changes in the company in the near future.

Unfortunately, Han Ying was still at her workstation outside, thinking about how to find evidence that President Jiang was a mistress, and then continue her promotion record.

……

February 14th, Valentine's Day.

In the evening, in their little home in Zhongguancun, Huang Zhenhua and Shen Jiayi were kneading clay together.

After graduation, whenever Shen Jiayi came to Beijing, she would not only live here with Huang Zhenhua most of the time, but also play in the mud in the studio here.

For her, this place not only contains the memories of her and her sweetheart, but also activates her inspiration for sculpture.

"Brother, are you done?"

This time, the two of them were kneading mud with their backs to each other, and they would take it out to show each other after they were done.

Shen Jiayi had already finished kneading and was peeking from behind to know in advance what Huang Zhenhua was kneading.

However, Huang Zhenhua had anticipated this and had been hiding it from her.

After Shen Jiayi spoke, he turned around mysteriously and hid the clay sculpture behind him.

"Okay, how about guessing what we made?" Faced with Huang Zhenhua's proposal, Shen Jiayi refused without thinking.

"No guessing. If you say that, it means that I can't guess what you're going to make. Let's just take a look."

Huang Zhenhua had no objection after hearing this. He nodded and started counting down with Shen Jiayi:

"Three two one!"

They both took out the clay sculptures hidden behind them at the same time, and after seeing what the other had made, they couldn't help but laugh.

Huang Zhenhua holds a flower in his hand and Shen Jiayi holds a person in his hand.

The flower is jasmine, and the person is Huang Zhenhua.

"Jiayi, you've made me feel much better than I did two years ago!"

After the two exchanged clay sculptures, Huang Zhenhua couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the little clay figure that looked like one of his own.

Shen Jiayi raised her chin and snorted a little, then picked up the lifelike clay sculpture of jasmine flower in her hand and said with a smile:
"Brother, your clay figurine making skills have also greatly improved!"

"That's right, don't you even consider who my master is?"

Hearing her lover's flattery, Lady Shen leaned over and kissed him sweetly.

"Then why do you want to pinch jasmine flowers?"

Huang Zhenhua smiled and said, "Two years ago on Valentine's Day, when I went to Shanghai, you gave me jasmine flowers."

"Hey, husband, you are so nice~"

Shen Jiayi would occasionally call him husband, but she preferred to call him brother, and Huang Zhenhua had no objection to this.

After all, when they first went to Shen Jiayi's house, Huang Zhenhua and Old Man Shen started off by calling each other brothers, and she even called them uncle.

Shen Jiayi held a clay sculpture of a jasmine flower in one hand and a small clay figurine of Huang Zhenhua in the other, her face full of smiles.

But then he remembered something, his smile faded a little, and he leaned into Huang Zhenhua's arms and said in a muffled voice:

"Brother, I haven't done that sculpture yet. Will you be disappointed in me?"

Huang Zhenhua's hands were covered in grease, so he couldn't touch her. He could only rest his chin on her head and comfort her:

"How could that be? If you want to do better, I will definitely understand and support you. We are not in a hurry."

"But I'm in a hurry!"

Huang Zhenhua was stunned by Shen Jiayi's words, and then he lowered his head and asked her: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"..." Shen Jiayi remained silent. After a while, she left Huang Zhenhua's room and smiled at the other party's curious gaze:
"Brother, go take a shower first, I'll tell you later."

"..."

Huang Zhenhua felt that Shen Jiayi was in a bad mood at the moment, so he didn't ask any more questions for the time being.

Nine p.m.

After taking a shower, the two of them lay on the bed. Before Huang Zhenhua could ask anything, Shen Jiayi put her arm around his arm and started talking.

"Brother, do you believe in your intuition?"

"Intuition? Believe it."

Those who work in finance have to believe in data, but they cannot ignore intuition, because reality is often illogical, or your data cannot support a correct logic, so sometimes you have to trust in intuition.

Shen Jiayi's intuition was naturally not this, she asked quietly:
"Brother, do you know? When I first met you, my intuition told me that you were very important to me?"

Huang Zhenhua couldn't help but think of the time when he accidentally saved the mermaid beside him while fishing by the river, so he smiled and said:
"That's because I saved you, so you think I'm important."

"What if I say that I fell into the water on purpose that day?"

"..."

There was silence in the bedroom. Huang Zhenhua turned his head to look at the woman who had been with him for almost three years, with some shock in his eyes.

"So, you jumped into the water and bet that I would save you just because of your instinct?"

"Ah."

"So crazy?"

"It started to rain, and when you're packing up to leave, my gut told me this was the only chance."

"..."

Huang Zhenhua turned sideways, stroked Lady Shen's face and asked, "Why?"

"I don't know, but my intuition tells me that I can't miss you." Shen Jiayi looked at him, narrowed her peach blossom eyes and said with a smile.

After a moment of silence, Huang Zhenhua also smiled and said, "So what intuition do you have recently?"

"..." It was Shen Jiayi's turn to be silent. She subconsciously moved closer to Huang Zhenhua again, then closed her eyes and whispered:

"I had a dream. I dreamt that you wiped my tears and said that you felt guilty for not loving me well enough."

The old scumbag seemed to have something stuck in his throat when he heard this. His Adam's apple moved twice before he spoke:
"Dreams are the opposite of reality. I will stay by your side and love you well."

This was the first time Huang Zhenhua lied to Shen Jiayi in person.

Once upon a time, when he first came to this world, he felt that he could travel freely through this world with the filter he had used for these plots in his previous life.

Sometimes in his eyes, the characters in the original drama are just transformed from 2D to 3D. He will feel touched, but it will not be particularly memorable.

Who knew that he would unexpectedly meet Shen Jiayi, who was not a character in the original drama.

As it says in "The Little Prince": If you want to create a bond with others, you must take the risk of shedding tears.

Huang Zhenhua thought he was a playboy and would not get entangled with others, but he never expected that... an accident would happen.

The little prince left his planet and his rose, but after passing through many planets, he suddenly realized that what he loved most was his own planet and his rose.

What would happen if I wandered the heavens? Would Shen Jiayi wither like the rose in The Little Prince when I left?

No, Shen Jiayi is not a rose, she is a jasmine, the jasmine that belongs to her.

Huang Zhenhua hugged Shen Jiayi without saying a word, looking at the ceiling calmly.

She is not just Jasmine. The Little Prince tamed a fox in the book, and they needed each other, because domestication is a two-way process.

Is Shen Jiayi his Jasmine or his fox?
……

Just as Huang Zhenhua was hugging Shen Jiayi and thinking about the future, on the same Valentine's Day night, a heavy rainstorm occurred somewhere in Anhui Province.

The twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month is suitable for offering sacrifices but not for funerals.

Father Su reeked of alcohol, had bandages on his head and crotch, and a pair of crutches were placed by the door.

In this old house, he kept waving his fists to express his love to Su's mother who was lying on the ground wailing.

Not far away, Xiaojie, who was squatting in the corner with his nose bleeding, stood up trembling.

"Give it to me or not! Give it to me or not!"

There was wind and rain outside the window, occasionally mixed with flashes of pale lightning.

The rumbling thunder not only resounded through the heavens and earth outside the house, but also made a deafening roar inside this house.

Thunder and lightning are good things. They can illuminate the night and cover up sounds.

In the past, Father Su was like a lion in the eyes of this mother and son. Even though he was old, as long as he glared, they would kneel down like lambs and wait for him to show his power.

However, today was different. Under the sudden white light of lightning, Father Su looked more like a terminally ill madman.

Crazy, yet revealing his weakness.

So after a long period of darkness and a long period of fist-waving, cursing and wailing, the night was suddenly split by a flash of lightning, a white light came on, and the shadow of Su's father appeared. But in addition to the shadow of Su's father, another thin shadow suddenly appeared on the wall.

Mother Su, who was lying on the ground, showed real fear in her eyes for the first time in the light brought by the lightning.

"No!" "Boom!"

After the lightning, there is the rumbling thunder that covers up all the noise that does not belong to God.

On the same Valentine's Day, the sky is clear in some places. People will say that the moonlight is beautiful and the wind is gentle.

But in some places, there are storms, lightning and thunder. When there is no lightning, it is so dark that you can only hear the rain falling.
