C43 Lonely Platform
I scratched my head. "I …" I don't know... Today, I have only repeated what Cloud Manager had instructed me to do, that's all … Cloud Manager taught me all this, didn't you say that you want me to learn from him, that I am following his instructions? "
"Ugh." Qiu Tong turned his head to look at me again, his expression uncertain. With a smile that was difficult to detect, he turned his head and stopped talking. He continued to drive, and the 'Argentina, Don't Weep for me' continued to play.
Qiu Tong stopped questioning him, I heaved a sigh of relief and sat there obediently, not daring to speak anymore.
Arriving at the hotel that the Yun Duo's Parents stayed in, Qiu Tong got off the car and opened the trunk, taking out two boxes.
"Hold it!" Qiu Tong said with a half-commanding tone.
I hurriedly received it, then went upstairs with Qiu Tong to Yun Duo's Parents's room. Yun Duo's Parents and Yun Che were also there.
Seeing that we had arrived, Yun Duo's Parents was overjoyed. He grabbed onto my hand and threw Qiu Tong to the side.
Zhang Xiaotian stood at the side with his eyes blazing up, while Qiu Tong looked at us strangely, with his mouth half open, he greeted Zhang Xiaotian. Qiu Tong knew of the relationship between Zhang Xiaotian and Yun Che, and did not display any surprise for Zhang Xiaotian's appearance.
When my parents and I had finished warming up, Yun Che hurriedly introduced Qiu Tong to his parents. I also put down the gift in my hands, saying that it was from Director Qiu, and everyone couldn't help but be courteous for a long time.
After Yun Duo's Parents found out about Qiu Tong's identity, she was overwhelmed by the fact. She repeatedly thanked Qiu Tong for personally visiting her, and also thanked Qiu Tong for his care and concern for Yun Che. Qiu Tong pulled Yun Duo's Parents's hand and politely and humbly chatted with them. He praised Cloud for being smart and capable, and praised them for having such a good daughter.
When I saw the few bags that were prepared in the house, I asked about them and knew that the Yun Duo's Parents would be leaving soon.
"Uncle, Aunt, it's not easy to come here. Why don't you stay for a few more days and have fun here?" Qiu Tong said.
When the weather gets cold, we have to prepare fodder, but we can't stay cold yet. "Cloud Mothers said:" This time, first, I came to check on my daughter, and secondly, her father's body should be examined.
Qiu Tong held onto Cloud Mothers's hand, and looked at Yun Duobaba with concern: "Uncle, how are you feeling?"
"Normally, it would be fine if there was an acute kidney stone attack during National Day and he had surgery at Qili Hospital. This time, I had the opportunity to check on my daughter. Everything is good now." Yun Duobaba said.
Qiu Tong nodded his head: "That's good, since the children are not at home, the two elders need to be more careful."
The Cloud Mothers held my hand again and looked at me lovingly. Then, she said to Qiu Tong, "Hey, last time, her father was in a critical condition, it was fortunate that Xiao Yi was a guest at our home and drove to the hospital at midnight. He took out his own fifteen thousand yuan and helped to pay the medical fees.
Qiu Tong's expression shook. Looking at me, I smiled unnaturally and turned my head.
Zhang Xiaotian laughed from the side and said, "Sigh ~ It's a pity that I wasn't here back then. If I was, I would have done the same.
Qiu Tong smiled at Zhang Xiaotian, then looked at the clouds and joked: "Manager Zhang, it's good that you have gotten to know each other, the revolution has not been successful yet, comrade, you still need to work hard, okay … …"
Zhang Xiaotian respectfully nodded and bowed to Qiu Tong: "Director Qiu is right in education, haha … Sigh ~ Director Qiu, do I have to call you sister-in-law in the future? When can I eat your candy? "
Qiu Tong's expression became very awkward, and even a little ugly.
It was obvious that Zhang Xiaotian knew about the relationship between Qiu Tong and Li Shun.
At this moment, Yun's parents were looking at me with eyes filled with regret and disappointment. After a while, Cloud Mothers took out a small cloth bag and handed it over to Yun Che, giving him a look.
Clouds took the bundle and tugged at my sleeve, gesturing for him to follow her.
When we reached the corridor, Yun Xiao pushed the cloth bag into my hands. "Big Brother, this was prepared when mother came. I'll return the money to you. Fifteen thousand, take it."
I don't want it, push it back, and the clouds push it back. After doing this a few times, Cloud panicked and blurted out, "Big Brother, we are not related in any way, why don't you? Why should we owe you money? "
As he finished, tears began to well up in the clouds.
I was afraid that if I cried, I wouldn't be able to keep the cloud. I took the money and put it in my pocket, then went back to my room.
If Yun Duo's Parents wanted to leave, I would have to send him off on my own accord.
Thus, everyone sent Yun Duo's Parents to the train station. I bought a platform ticket and Zhang Xiaotian and I helped Yun Duo's Parents carry the package onto the carriage. After placing down the bag, I helped Yun Duobaba into the bed. When no one was looking, I stuffed the cloth bag I just gave myself into the inside pocket of Yun Duobaba's cotton-padded jacket, then got out of the car.
The train gave a long whistle as it slowly started moving. Amidst the wind and snow that filled the sky, it rushed towards the distant grasslands in the north.
Everyone waved goodbye to Yun Duo's Parents. Clouds are waving while wiping away tears, I know, that is the wandering lonely Yan to parents and affection.
Zhang Xiaotian stood by Yun Che's side, took off his windbreaker and wrapped it around Yun Che's body. Then, he naturally wrapped his arm around Yun Che's shoulders.
Qiu Tong stood alone in the midst of the snowstorm. His hair was a little messy and he stared blankly at the clouds, his eyes filled with envy, longing, sadness, and confusion. I didn't know if Qiu Tong's expression was due to the care Zhang Xiaotian showed to the clouds or if the clouds had parents to send them off to, but she, wasn't.
At that moment, I felt sorrow, desolation and impulse. I wanted to get close to Qiu Tong and embrace him.
Of course, I didn't do that.
After sending off the Yun Duo's Parents, everyone split up. After Yun Yun left with Zhang Xiaotian, I followed Qiu Tong and got on her car to go back.
On the way back, they found a fork in the road. There was a traffic jam in the snowy sky. After half an hour, they had walked less than 1 km.
It was already dark, the lights of the city were on, and the wind and snow were still raging.
Qiu Tong stopped his car in front of a Korean barbeque shop and said, "Get off the car, let's eat first!"
That year, I had not eaten an authentic Korean barbecue.
For some reason, I seem to be lacking a sense of resistance towards Qiu Tong's words.
I followed Qiu Tong into the barbeque shop and found a seat. Qiu Tong seemed to know that I have never eaten Korean barbecue before, so he didn't ask me and ordered his own dishes. The waiter then brought over burning charcoal and covered it with an iron cover.
I just sat there and watched dumbly. Being able to eat dinner with Qiu Tong and be able to sit face to face with my own goddess made me feel like I was dreaming.
"Do, do you drink white wine?" Qiu Tong looked at me as he barbequed beef with a sandwich.
I thought Qiu Tong wanted me to accompany her for a drink so I nodded happily.
Qiu Tong then asked for a bottle of the 38 degree Xinghai special brew, opening it and handing it to me: "Alright, you can drink."
I was stunned. "You don't drink?"
A crafty look flashed across Qiu Tong's eyes: "I'm driving, so I can't drink alcohol. You can drink by yourself, the weather is cold, drink more …. "How's your alcohol tolerance?"
I took the bottle. "Not too big, not too small."
"Alright, this bottle is yours. Kill it, don't leave any!" Qiu Tong used an commanding tone, "Is it difficult?"
I couldn't figure out Qiu Tong's intentions, so I pretended to look troubled: "Director Qiu, this …. "I can't drink …"
Qiu Tong pursed his lips: "Do you know if it's painful to drink it or not, it's painful to spill it, we can't leave it, it's a shame to waste it, don't you know that? "Drink – slowly drink – slowly drink – leisurely drink –"
With that, Qiu Tong placed the roasted meat onto the plate in front of me. "Here, try my cooking.
Looking at Qiu Tong's gentle and beautiful expression, I felt that it was especially warm. I raised my wine cup and drank a mouthful of white wine, then looked at Qiu Tong and blurted out: "Director Qiu, you are Freshmen?"
Qiu Tong's hand trembled: "What do you mean?"
I was shocked and almost blurted out, "Because this is Korean barbecue, and because you seem very proficient in barbecuing. Also, from what I saw just now, I felt that your temperament and expression is unique to the Korean women in the TV."
Qiu Tong laughed unnaturally, "Really? You do feel it. "Alright, hurry up and eat the meat. It won't taste good if it gets cold."
With that, Qiu Tong ordered another bowl of Korea Cold Noodle, and lowered his head to continue eating.
Qiu Tong and I did not talk much, I silently drank one mouthful after another, trying to figure out Qiu Tong's thoughts.
To me, this 38 degree liquor was like plain water. It had no taste, let alone one bottle, even half a bottle wouldn't be enough to drink him.
I suddenly had a plan. As I drank, I began to sway my body. I shook my head, my eyes were fixed on mine, and I acted as if I was getting more and more drunk.
Qiu Tong looked at me, and the corner of his mouth curled into a complacent smile.
When we reached the bottom of the bottle, I said in a drunken voice, "Su …" Director Qiu... I... I finished it... I... "I can't take it anymore."
"Are, are you drunk?" Qiu Tong asked me.
I half opened my mouth as my eyes blazed and my head drooped down. "Yes … "Yeah."
"Sigh … If your alcohol capacity is too low, you should have told me earlier. If I knew that your alcohol capacity was too low, I wouldn't have let you drink so much." The corner of Qiu Tong's mouth curved into a complacent smile.
"Leader..." command does not dare... I'm not listening, leader, please … Let me drink, I... I have to drink it. " I looked at Qiu Tong, who had a smile on his face, and smiled secretly in my heart.
"Does that mean that I, your eyes really respect this Leader of yours?" Qiu Tong said.
"Then... Of course, the Director Qiu is the leader, he controls my work, I … How could I dare to be disrespectful? "
"That's good then." Qiu Tong paused: "I, I'll ask you a few questions, you must answer them truthfully."
"Yes — definitely!" I straightened my neck and tilted my head as I looked at Qiu Tong.
Qiu Tong stared into my eyes: "I … "Tell me, where did you go during the National Day holiday?"
"Cloud Station Head — — No, Cloud Manager has invited me to her house as a guest."
Then, Yun Duobaba is in urgent need of money, are you really going to use that money to help?
"Yeah." I knew I couldn't lie about this, so I nodded and said, "It's late in the night and she's not able to take out that much cash. I've just issued the commission and I happen to have... However, in the hotel corridor this afternoon, when you were talking, Cloud Mothers made way for … Let the clouds return to me. "
