Chapter 34

Huaijing's words actually suppressed her nervousness, and even before she took the stage, her heart was relaxed and peaceful. Xu Xingxing stepped onto the stage, glanced at Chen Wanwan who was cheering her on loudly, smiled and glanced at the front of the auditorium.

For the annual meeting, the leaders came to work rather than relax and celebrate.

Huaijing sat at the table with the best view in the middle of the auditorium. He leaned back on the chair and pinched the legs of the goblet with his fingers. He could not stop his laziness under his suit.

Someone next to him was talking to him, and he glanced casually at the stage as he listened.

This sweep was quick and intense, and a trace of tenderness flashed in the originally indifferent eyes, like a hurricane sweeping away the haze, like a drizzle putting out a fire.

Xu Xingxing's lips moved slightly, she came back to her senses, bowed, got up and walked to the piano. After sitting on the piano bench, Xu Xingxing became a little nervous again, and his hands on the keys trembled slightly.

But she practiced this song countless times, as if the score was engraved on her fingers. As soon as her fingers touched the keyboard, the song flowed from the keys like clouds and water.

Only the sound of Lingling could be heard on the stage, and Bach's classical music made the whole stage quiet.

The woman is sitting on a white piano bench, slender and slender. The long cheongsam perfectly outlines the curves of her body, and it is already ecstasy just from the side.

The lotus-colored pink is to match her, and the woman under the light has water-like brows, a small and erect nose, and slightly pursed lips with some bright colors.

Not vulgar, anti-glamorous.

Her fingers stroked the keys, and when the keys rose and fell, music flowed from her fingertips, with a woman's unique softness and gentleness, calming the impetuousness in the auditorium silently.

She sat there and played the piano, gentle and demure, pure and noble, more like painting.

Huaijing looked at the stage, the indifference between her brows and eyes gradually swept away, and the uncontrollable tenderness in her eyes slowly flowed out as if being drawn by the sound of the piano.

She was originally unknown, but he polished her little by little, and polished her to the attention of everyone and dazzling.

While Huai Jing was listening carefully, a noise suddenly jumped out from the piano on the stage, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

After playing the wrong sound, the woman's fingers on the stage stopped slightly, and the corners of her lips pursed deeply, seeming to be very nervous. But the tension only lasted for a moment, she raised her eyes and glanced at the piano score, and the piano sounded again.

He was actually bewitched by her just now, but she became more and more like a goblin, pinching him little by little.

Huaijing raised her eyebrows slightly, and the minister who was reporting to him just now stayed on the stage, and she had long since stopped moving. The man frowned slightly, curled his fingers, and knocked on the table.

The minister snapped back to his senses, looked at Huaijing, noticed the displeasure in his expression, whispered apologetically, and continued to report.

"About going to Huai City after the holiday..."

Xu Xingxing played the wrong sound.

She was confident that she could memorize the piano score, but she was so nervous just now that she played in a hurry and made a mistake. Although she adjusted it carefully afterwards, most people could not hear it. But……

Xu Xingxing looked up at the audience, the man was slightly raising his hand to applaud her. His expression was unclear, and Xu Xingxing didn't know what his mood was.

A trace of guilt flashed in Xu Xingkong's heart, and after nodding and bowing, he walked off the stage.

As soon as I got to the backstage, the backstage staff applauded and welcomed me. Tang Didi wrote two "fan sisters" in bold and capital letters in his eyes, and said to Xu Xingxing: "Sister, I am so fascinated by you, I wish I could marry you now."

"Ah?" Xu Xingxing was startled and smiled a little embarrassedly.

A male colleague next to him listened, smiled and said, "Unfortunately, you are also a woman."

Tang Didi was a little unconvinced, and turned back to the man and said, "What's wrong with me being a woman? Then you are a man. Do you like my sister, does my sister like you?"

Hearing that the two were joking, Xu Xing thanked him, put on his jacket with a blushing face, and got up and went to the auditorium.

As soon as she got to the table in the translation department, all her eyes were turned over, not only the translation department, but also people from other departments. Xu Xingxing was a little uncomfortable, but fortunately Chen Wanwan pulled her down and sat down.

"I didn't expect Sister Xingkong to be so beautiful. She really depends on her clothes." A young male colleague said with a smile.

Xu Xingxing was a little embarrassed to be praised, and even more uncomfortable. Chen Wanwan handed her a pair of chopsticks and said with a smile, "I only know now? It's too late."

Everyone laughed.

There are many people in the translation department, and there are three tables. Huang Qiansong, Chen Wanwan and Yan Jialin, each of the three persons in charge was in charge of a table.

Li Miaoxue came over after the opening dance. She didn't change her clothes or coat, and sat with Huang Qiansong on the table next to Xu Xingxing.

Li Miaoxue also watched Xu Xingxing's performance just now. Li Miaoxue's face was not very good-looking, and she rolled her eyes to look at Huang Qiansong.

Huang Qiansong understood, knocked on the table, and said in a small area: "There are two programs in our department, everyone should vote evenly when voting. Because Li Miaoxue of our department performed first, then I will vote for her first. Chen Wanwan will be behind. Minister, just vote for Xu Xingxing, and so on. Don’t follow the trend, pay attention to internal harmony.”

Because of Huang Qiansong's remarks, the atmosphere of harmony and Lele was silent for a moment.

What Huang Qiansong is best at is sanctimonious tricks. He says no, but his body is very honest. He clearly said that he voted for Li Miaoxue, so others must follow him to vote for Li Miaoxue. But it's disgusting to say these things later.

"Old Huang!" When Chen Wanwan heard Huang Qiansong's words, her anger rose, "Don't be too biased. Otherwise, if you vote for Xu Xingkong, Jialin and I vote for Li Miaoxue, and the people behind will do the same. ."

Chen Wanwan's remarks obviously prevented Huang Qiansong from coming to the stage. He was such a good-natured person that he was a little speechless. He just gave her a cold look and said, "Are you the minister or am I the minister?"

Just as Chen Wanwan was about to speak, Xu Xingxing stopped her. Xu Xingxing didn't want to attract so many people's attention. It didn't matter if she had more votes and fewer votes. Chen Wanwan and Huang Qiansong couldn't be hurt because of this unrelated thing.

She frowned and glanced at Xu Xingxing. After Chen Wanwan was happy, she said, "You are who you are."

After all the performances were over, it was time for the voting session. Of course, it goes without saying that the translation department, except for Yan Jialin and Chen Wanwan, voted for Li Miaoxue.

"These grasses on the wall." Chen Wanwan was too lazy to answer.

Li Miaoxue won the vote, and her expression became arrogant again. And waiting for the host to announce the results, when she was the first place this year, her expression was simply heavenly.

After went up to receive the prizes, a set of jewelry made by the company was enough to attract the attention of female colleagues in the entire company.

Carrying the gift box, Li Miaoxue raised her chin slightly, and sat down in front of everyone's attention. Before sitting down, he sneered at Xu Xingxing and rolled his eyes before turning his head.

"This fox..." Chen Wanwan's temple jumped and she scolded.

After singing the votes, Xu Xingxing won the fifth place, with the middle in the front. And the prize happened to be only for the top four, she missed it perfectly.

Chen Wanwan watched the following people come to the stage to accept the award, looked at their costumes, and said to Xu Xingxing: "Look, the more you show, the more votes you will get. You can still get this number of votes after wearing so much, which is not low. already."

Listening to her comfort, Xu Xingxing really couldn't laugh or cry, but the regret for playing the wrong sound has calmed down a little.

Speaking of which, Xu Xingxing was really a little back today. Not only did she fail to win an award for her performance, but in the subsequent lottery session, every award perfectly avoided her.

At the end of the annual meeting, Chen Wanwan took the pair of earrings she had drawn and said to Xu Xingxing: "We will fight again next year. Think about how Xiao Lizi has been running the Oscars for so many years, and finally succeeded. The lottery at the annual meeting is year after year. escort process.”

"What kind of metaphor is this?" Xu Xingxing stood up with a smile.

Seeing her finally smiling, Chen Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

When Xu Xingxing was about to say "yes", the phone rang. She took out her mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, her expression froze.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wanwan asked when she saw that she didn't answer the phone.

"No..." Xu Xingxing put away the phone, glanced in the direction of the stage and said, "You go back first, our performers will have a meeting, and I will take a taxi back after the meeting."

"What meeting?" Chen Wanwan said, "Li Miaoxue is gone."

"It's my first time participating, it's better to go there." Xu Xingxing said.

Xu Xingxing is very honest and obeys the rules. Chen Wanwan knew she couldn't screw her, so she had to agree. She took the bag and warned before leaving.

"Then remember to call me when you go back."

Xu Xingxing nodded and said with a smile, "Okay."

The annual meeting had just ended, and Huaijing was asked to wait for her at her door because she was afraid that the two of them would be seen by the company.

Xu Xingxing was carrying a large off-white bag, which contained her performance dress. She got out of the car and saw the car that had been parked waiting for her under the slope in front of the apartment.

After Xu Xingxing paid the fare, he walked over.

The man was still wearing the suit he wore tonight. His figure and temperament matched the suit very well. When not talking, sitting in the car, lazy and alienated, with a hint of abstinence.

Seeing Xu Xingkong approaching, he curled his fingers and pulled off the pink tie at the neckline.

Xu Xingxing's eyes moved, but he didn't look carefully when he was performing on stage. His tie actually matched her dress.

The woman opened the door and got into the car, and quietly fastened her seat belt.

Xu Xingxing has few words, and if he is not happy, he will be more silent.

Huaijing looked up at her, but did not start the car. He reached out, his fingers gently pinching on her pointy chin. The woman's mouth was pinched slightly open, and she looked at him suspiciously.

Huai Jing smiled, took his fingers away, put his eyes on the storage box in front of Xu Xingxing, and said, "Open it and take a look."

Xu Xingxing blinked, she put her eyes on the storage box and reached out to open it.

As soon as the storage box was opened, the lights on both sides inside also turned on, and the soft orange light shone on a pink rectangular box inside.

Lips slightly parted, Xu Xingxing took out the box. The box was tied with a big bow with pink ribbons, and the long ribbons were scattered on both sides of the legs, full of girlish hearts.

Xu Xingxing moved in his heart and opened the bow. In this big box, there are five small boxes of different sizes. Xu Xingxing picked out a box at hand and opened it, and the contents inside made her eyes widen slightly.

This is a complete set of TIE and IO collaboration jewelry.

In her hand is a pendant with a pink sparkling diamond sandwiched between white gold.

This series of girls is full of hearts, which is exactly the set that Li Miaoxue won tonight.

However, it is not the same as her set, because the diamond in the pendant in her hand is obviously larger than hers.

No woman can say no to jewelry.

Xu Xingxing's throat moved, her eyes flashing light, she looked back at Huaijing, and asked, "This...is this for me?"

Seeing that her expression was more lively than before, Huaijing licked her lower lip with the tip of her tongue, nodded slightly, and said, "This is a special award for the best performer tonight."

Xu Xingxing's heart seemed to be wrapped in a warm blanket after walking around on Bing Jian'er.

"I played a sound." Xu Xingxing frowned slightly and said apologetically, "I feel sorry for you for teaching me so seriously."

The man raised his eyebrows slightly, and his light brown eyes were as deep as water. He stared at her, nodded and said, "If you feel sorry for me, just make up for it."

Xu Xingxing looked up at him, her round eyes were clear and translucent.

"How to compensate?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the man's body leaned over. The huge figure seemed to devour her, Xu Xingxing stepped back subconsciously, and a kiss fell on his lips.

Xu Xingxing opened his eyes.

The man stepped back, and the corners of his lips raised, carrying his publicity and frivolity.

"so."

There was still the warmth and touch of the corner of the man's lips on his lips, Xu Xingxing bit his lower lip lightly and turned his head out of the window. The lights in the car, shining on her small earlobe, made it gradually turn red.

This compensation is too simple, and it is simply heart-wrenching.

The end of the annual meeting means that the New Year is approaching, and the company has begun to prepare for the Spring Festival holiday. The benefits of IO Group are good, and it is also good that there are sufficient vacations. On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month before the first year of the year, started to go to work, and didn't go to work until the sixth day of the new year. There are more than ten days of the Spring Festival holiday.

During the Spring Festival holiday, Xu Xingxing naturally returned to Huai City. Before the holiday, she went to Wuyin to arrange Du Yizhe's holiday.

Xu Xingxing went there on Sunday afternoon, the sun at 3 o'clock in the afternoon was bright and warm. There is not much traffic on Heping Street at this time, and sunlight penetrates Heping Street from the west to the east.

As soon as Xu Xingxing entered the street, he saw Huangfu Yiduo teasing Ajin, while Du Yizhe was sitting at the door of the shop, smiling at the two of them.

Huangfu Yiduo wore a long pink corduroy dress today, with a large fur collar pink padded jacket over it. Matching her outfit, the makeup is also pink and tender, revealing the girlish atmosphere.

Huangfu Yiduo seemed to be teaching A Jin to sit down, and A Jin seemed to be teasing her and didn't sit on purpose.

After teaching twice, Ah Jin didn't sit down, Huangfu Yiduo stomped his feet in anger, and trotted to Du Yizhe's side to complain.

Du Yizhe looked up at her tenderly, as if persuading something. After a while, Du Yizhe got up, put his hand on her head and rubbed it twice.

Xu Xingxing approached and heard Huangfu Yiduo say "sit down". And Du Yizhe, who was standing in front of her, immediately sat down. After sitting down, Du Yizhe looked up at her with a smile and said, "Look, I still listen to you."

The sadness on the girl's face disappeared, and she laughed two small pear vortexes, and became happy again.

When the two were sweet, Ah Jin had already run to Xu Xingxing's side. Xu Xingxing looked at Du Yizhe and Huangfu Yiduo, and was completely warmed by the interaction just now, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously.

As soon as Ajin came to her side, Xu Xingxing reached out and patted Ajin's head, while Ajin stuck his tongue out and sat down.

Seeing it like this, Huangfu Yiduo next to him laughed and said, "Sister, take Ah Jin away, I'm going to find other dogs."

Seeming to understand Huangfu Yiduo's words, Ajin trotted to Huangfu Yiduo's side and rubbed her hand lightly. Huangfu Yiduo turned around and gave a soft "hum" to show that he was still angry.

Ah Jin hurriedly turned to her again and rubbed her carefully. Huangfu Yiduo looked down at it, pursed the corners of his lips, and said, "Then sit down now."

Akin sat down obediently.

Huangfu Yiduo was instantly coaxed to be happy, squatted down and hugged Ajin in his arms, and said with a smile, "It's so good."

Du Yizhe, who was looking at one person and one dog, said helplessly, "Your clothes tend to stick to hair."

"Ah?" Huangfu Yiduo quickly got up.

Xu Xingxing laughed, Huangfu Yiduo rubbed his nose a little embarrassed.

Although Huangfu Yiduo was spoiled as a little princess, she didn't do anything at all. Knowing that Du Yizhe had trouble cleaning her clothes, she was extra obedient.

Du Yizhe should like to pet her very much in his heart.

"Sister, what's the matter?" Du Yizhe asked Xu Xingxing after he recovered.

Huangfu Yiduo also came to Xu Xingxing's side and hugged Xu Xingxing. She usually writes scripts at home, and her friends are only those that Du Yizhe knows. Among Du Yizhe's friends, she likes Xu Xingxing the most.

Xu Xingxing let Huangfu Yiduo hold her, looked at her, and asked, "Are you going home for the Spring Festival?"

Wuyin is a chain brand and has its own holiday system, from the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month to the second day of the new year next year. Xu Xingxing didn't want to follow that. He couldn't be reunited with his family during such a short vacation.

After listening to Xu Xingxing's words, Du Yizhe nodded, looked at Huangfu Yiduo and said, "I still want to talk to you about this. Duoduo and I are both from Xiacheng, so it's easy to go home. There was a lot of traffic on the Spring Festival day, so we You can open a shop for half a day, and then go home for New Year's Eve dinner."

Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect to ask for overtime.

"Aren't you going out to play during the Spring Festival holiday?" Xu Xingxing asked.

"No need." Huangfu Yiduo said, "We have a good time here. A Zhe and A Jin are with me, and we are very happy to play anywhere."

After speaking, Huangfu Yiduo smiled at Du Yizhe.

Xu Xingxing looked at the three of them, feeling a little envious in his heart.

Du Yizhe and Huangfu Yiduo don't seem to have many requirements, as long as they can meet their personal needs physically, and spiritually, they only need to be together with one pet.

contentment.

Xu Xingxing smiled and said, "Okay, then you two have fun here. I'll give you two a big red envelope during the Spring Festival."

"Really?" Huangfu Yiduo's eyes lit up and said with a smile, "Thank you, sister."

Xu Xingxing got into the car with a pile of ingredients. Although the supermarket in the southern district also sold it, Xu Xingxing was afraid that it would take time to go shopping. Moreover, the fish in the vegetable market and the big fish seller helped to clean it up.

Huaijing looked at the bag full of ingredients, a smile flashed in her eyes, and said, "Are you going to move?"

Fastening the seat belt, Xu Xingxing shook his head and said, "No. If I move, I'll take Mimi with me."

Hearing the word Mimi, Huaijing frowned and started the car.

I can't forget Mimi anywhere.

After arriving home, Xu Xingxing went into the kitchen with a bag of ingredients. Huai Jing looked at her excited energy, much like the last time she celebrated New Year's Day.

He followed into the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Xu Xingxing was packing the ingredients. Her movements were small but fast. Busy walking back and forth in the big kitchen, the woman's back under the light is warm and gentle.

Xu Xingxing had already packed the fish and put it in the pot. Huaijing looked at the fish in the pot, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "What festival is today?"

Putting the sliced ​​ginger into the fish to get rid of the fishy smell, Xu Xingxing said, "No. I will take the train back to Huai City that night after the holiday tomorrow, and I won't be here tomorrow night."

This was the last time the two of them had dinner together this year, and Xu Xingxing wanted to do more.

After Xu Xingxing finished speaking, there was no movement on the man's side. She looked up and saw Huai Jing standing in front of the kitchen door looking at her. The man's eyes were dark, and in the light brown eyes, there was an emotion that Xu Xingxing couldn't see through.

Huaijing was silent for a while, listening to the sound of the tumbling fish soup in the pot, and asked, "Are you leaving as soon as the holiday tomorrow?"

"Well." Xu Xingxing heard that his voice was a little cold, she pursed her lips, and explained, "My brother is engaged the day after tomorrow, and I have to go back and help."

Xu Xingxing stared at him, and the man's expression gradually softened.

He didn't speak, and Xu Xingxing didn't continue to speak. She took her eyes back and went back to work on her own.

In the big kitchen, pots and pans sounded an unbreakable parting.

The influence of Xu Xingxing's words on Huaijing only manifested in the deepest part of the night. He was obviously unhappy, and wanted to take all these ten days at a time tonight.

But after it was over, the bedroom lighting was soft, which made the man's eyebrows and eyes soften a lot. He leaned over to kiss her ear, his voice hoarse and sexy.

"These days, put Mimi at my house first."

When Mimi was mentioned, Xu Xingxing's scattered consciousness gathered again.

These days when go back to hometown for the Spring Festival, must not bring Mimi with me. She thought about putting Mimi in the foster care center for the first few days. But when the Spring Festival arrives, the foster care center is also the busiest time. In terms of care, Xu Xingxing is afraid that he will not be as careful as before.

Speaking of which, Xu Xingxing was really worried.

Huaijing's proposal made Xu Xingxing a little moved. Put it in Huaijing's house, even if he doesn't help to take care of it, the nanny at home will help take care of it. After all, Mimi had been here for half a year before. It's just a bit lonely, nothing else.

Thinking of this, Xu Xingxing blinked. She glanced at the man beside her suspiciously, and asked in a small voice, "Don't you like cats?"

"Well." Huai Jing raised her eyes and admitted lightly. He glanced sideways at Xu Xingxing and said solemnly, "Leave it here, if you come back a day later, I will starve it for a day."

Xu Xingxing's brows jumped in shock, she looked at him anxiously, and said, "No...you can't starve it."

When she was in a hurry, she would turn red from her eyes to her cheeks, from her cheeks to her earlobes. In such a hurry, now even the chin has a little red color.

Huai Jing looked at her with a light expression on her face, and her voice penetrated her eardrums like a veil: "Then will you come back sooner?"

The man's breath quietly penetrated into his heart like tentacles. Xu Xingxing's voice trembled and replied in a low voice.

"it is good."
