Chapter 296 "I don't have time."
Xia Qian always avoided him intentionally or unintentionally, and rarely made eye contact with him.
Tong Xin didn't do it so deliberately, but he knew she did it on purpose.
She was running away, as if running away from what had happened between them.
"Let's have dinner together tonight and exchange some feelings."
The person who was speaking was Tong Xin’s colleague, named Kaiyue. He had been working at JF Company for many years and was a very enthusiastic person.
He is about the same age as Tongxin, and everyone here is about the same age, so everyone gets along better.
There are two other female colleagues, one is married and the other is still single.
"Okay, I agree."
Xia Qian looked at the girl who was speaking. She had always been very enthusiastic about Tong Xin.
Women's sixth sense is very accurate, she must like him.
Her name is Shen Meng. She works in the same company as Tong Xin. She looks just so-so.
According to women's aesthetics, I don't like her. She often wears sexy clothes and has a good figure with curves in all the right places.
She likes to spray perfume, and her scent can be smelled wherever you pass by. Xia Qian doesn't like her for no reason.
She is a green tea type and always speaks in a coquettish voice to men.
Maybe men like her, and she is quite popular among them.
Tong Xin subconsciously looked at Xia Qian, and Xia Qian immediately shifted his gaze.
"Xia Qian, are you going?"
The person who was talking to her was her colleague from HBQ company, named Lin Hai.
He and she were a little close, and it seemed a bit ambiguous.
Tong Xin raised an eyebrow and looked at it, the feeling in his heart was somewhat self-explanatory.
"Go."
This studio may seem calm, but there are actually undercurrents.
People from the two companies are like two forces, incompatible.
But on the surface it is still harmonious. After all, everyone has the same goal and can go back after completing the task.

They came to the barbecue restaurant together, which was a decision made after discussion.
Xia Qian and their colleagues now live in an apartment prepared by the company, so they must go in and out together.
But apart from that, it looks more like a close relationship.
Tong Xin had a stern face the whole time and was not happy.
"Tongxin, what would you like to drink?"
Shen Meng sat next to him, and her whole body was pressed against him.
You can’t tell anything from Tong Xin’s appearance, but he probably likes it too.
"beer."
Shen Meng's manicure is very beautiful, placed on his arm:
"I like to drink beer, too. If I get drunk, you have to send me back."
Send it back?
Xia Qian sat across from them and heard everything clearly. She pretended to be calm and didn't care.
"Xia Qian, what do you want to drink?"
Lin Hai sat next to her and asked her softly, and of course Tong Xin could hear it clearly.
"juice."
"Orange juice?"
Orange juice?
I remember that she hated drinking orange juice the most.
"I want watermelon juice."
"it is good."
He took care of her as naturally as if he were taking care of his girlfriend.
Tong Xin's mood was not very good, but he could only pretend nothing happened.
He deliberately chatted enthusiastically with Shen Meng beside him, just to see how she would react.
But she was chatting more happily with Lin Hai beside her and was not affected by him at all.
After three rounds of drinks, everyone was staggering and talking about everything except work.
The male colleague suggested going to smoke, but Tong Xin deliberately did not go. The other female colleagues went to the bathroom, leaving only the two of them.
Suddenly feeling a little awkward, Xia Qian looked around and tried to find an excuse to avoid it.
"Are you OK?"
Xia Qian had just stood up when she was stopped by his sudden words. She didn't understand what he meant.
She turned her head without looking at him or responding to him.
Her reaction was too real. Tong Xin's heart paused, feeling a little nervous and a little palpitating.
She didn't seem to hear what he said and just left.
He was the only one left at the table, all alone.
Tong Xin took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, but did not light it.
At that moment he was sure what he was thinking, all about her.
Later, everyone came back, and Tongxin seemed to be stimulated by something and drank one cup after another.
Shen Meng comforted him and leaned her whole body on him, the distance between the two of them was really close.
Men and women in bustling cities always come and go quickly, and one-night stands are as common as everyday occurrences.
Thinking of the morning when they lay together, Xia Qian's heart began to tighten.
She looked at Shen Meng's hands on his shoulders, his chest, and his arms, and her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Does she care?
of course.
Xia Qian watched them interacting casually, as if the people and sounds around her were automatically blocked out.
"Tongxin, where do you live?"
Shen Meng chatted with him coquettishly.
"Family."
"How inconvenient is it for you to still live with your parents at this age?"
Tong Xin took a deep breath and glanced at her:
“Very convenient.”
He deliberately chatted with her enthusiastically, and the topic became gradually ambiguous.
"Then how do you bring a woman home?"
Shen Meng's hand moved up along his hand. Tong Xin felt sick but did not stop:
"I don't bring women home."
He doesn't bring it, never has.
Xia Qian listened, but played with her phone as a cover-up.
"So you don't have a girlfriend?"
He paused:
"No."
Shen Meng is getting bolder:
"Can you see me?"
Is she okay?
Tong Xin chuckled:
"I don't have any money."
He is a poor loser, how could he be her type?
"I don't want money, I just want you."
Everyone present was drunk, so they didn't care at all what they were saying.
Tong Xin glanced at Xia Qian again, and she suddenly stood up and said to Lin Hai:
"I'm going back first. I have something to do."
"I'll go back with you."
"No need, just take your time and play."
Before he could react, she left quickly.
Tong Xin stood there in a daze, his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and it hurt a lot.
Xia Qian really couldn't bear to watch or listen to it anymore. Those unbearable words seemed like an insult to her ears, so she had to leave.
Walking along the road, there was not a single taxi along the way.
Her mood was similar to the current weather, a little cloudy.
She was sure Tong Xin wasn't that kind of person, but it had nothing to do with her.
All she had to do was keep her distance and go her own way.
When she reached the apartment, she saw Tong Xin standing at the door.
Is he here to see her?
It’s better not to be too sentimental.
Xia Qian pretended not to see it and walked straight in. Tong Xin stepped forward and stopped her:
"Can we talk for a moment?"
chat?
The person Xia Qian is most afraid of facing right now is him. How can she talk to him?
She's not in the right mood to talk right now, so it's better not to have any contact with her.
"What's up? I'm a little tired."
Her expression was serious and looked cold:
"It won't take you long."
He reeked of alcohol and Shen Meng's perfume.
She hated that smell the most, a flattering vixen smell.
"I do not have time."
Tong Xin didn't believe her words, he knew best what her angry expression looked like.
"One minute please?"
When he was in the mountains, he had not been so humble, but now he was sure that he was very humble.
