023 “AV Shooting Guide” Chapter 22

22: Encounter on a narrow road

The white pickup truck shuttled among all kinds of luxury cars in the city center, and it looked like a white shark swimming into a school of sardines. It only lazily flicked its tail fin to scare the small fishes away.

Cheng Xiu glanced at his watch and then signaled Qiao Qiao to hurry up.

He seemed to be in a hurry, stepped on the accelerator, and the pickup truck suddenly accelerated. Qiao Qiao clenched the armrest and pressed against the back of the seat. He watched in horror as Cheng Xiu ran through three red lights, rushed towards the WAWA headquarters at lightning speed, and finally ended the drive with a sharp sound of brakes.

She thought the car would eventually fly…

“Get off the car. You can pack your things later. I want to cook.” Cheng Xiu took Qiao Qiao’s suitcase in his hand and took the lead into the hall, with Qiao Qiao trotting behind.

It was already after six o’clock in the afternoon, during the rush hour of the headquarters, and the elevators were carrying all kinds of people from the office floors to the lobby one after another. Most of them were logistics workers, carrying briefcases and wearing ties. They nodded politely after meeting each other. They looked no different from the so-called white-collar elites of the trading group.

As soon as Cheng Xiu entered the hall carrying Qiao Qiao’s 20-inch pink and blue floral suitcase, the noisy crowd suddenly fell silent for a moment.Qiao Qiao’s face became hot, and he hurriedly caught up and tried to take his suitcase: “Mr. Cheng, it’s better for me to do it. It’s all flat here, and there are small rollers on the suitcase. I can just drag it.”

“No need.” Cheng Xiu moved the suitcase to another hand, “You’re too slow.”

A knowing blow…

“Let’s go this way.” Cheng Xiu saw that there were too many people in the public elevator, so he simply took Qiao Qiao to the VIP elevator. Although Qiao Qiao had been to the 10th floor twice, it was his first time to ride in the VIP elevator, so he happily followed.At this time, the VIP elevator happened to arrive on the first floor. With a ‘ding’ sound, the elevator door opened, and there was another familiar person.

Song Qiyan, who was wearing a beige woolen long coat outside his suit, looked at the two of them up and down, and finally his eyes fell on Qiao Qiao’s face: “Aren’t you on vacation?”

“Well, it’s a long story…” Qiao Qiao scratched his head and quickly followed Cheng Xiu into the elevator, “I, I went up first.”

Unexpectedly, Song Qiyan, who had already exited the elevator, turned around and walked in. He stood in the corner of the elevator and said lightly: “I forgot to take something.”

The elevator door closed, Qiao Qiao was sandwiched between the two men and expressed that he was under great pressure.

Cheng Xiu should not be familiar with Song Qiyan. He just stood aside with Qiao Qiao’s suitcase from beginning to end. However, Qiao Qiao felt a little embarrassed to face Song Qiyan because of the last drama. He was always in a situation where he wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere but really didn’t know what to say.

The VIP elevator only stopped at specific floors, so it was very fast. As soon as it arrived on the 10th floor, Cheng Xiu walked out with his suitcase, and then Song Qiyan paused and followed.

Qiao Qiao was about to cry but had no tears.

Cheng Xiu’s lounge was relatively close to Qin Ruicheng’s, just around the corner. Cheng Xiu entered a password and went in with his suitcase.

Just as Qiao Qiao was about to follow him quickly, Song Qiyan grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back.

“You want to move here to live with him?” Song Qiyan stood behind Qiao Qiao and asked with a sneer.

“I, I’m just going to live here temporarily!” Qiao Qiao was so frightened by Song Qiyan’s smile that sweat broke out on his forehead, “I’ll move out when I find a new house!”

“Why do you want to move suddenly?” Song Qiyan raised his eyebrows. He was obviously not satisfied with Qiao Qiao’s explanation, and his voice became deeper and deeper, “Qin Ruicheng arranged it, right? I was the last one to know?”

“We just decided tonight…” Qiao Qiao was still pinching the back of his neck, so of course he didn’t dare to resist, “I originally planned to call you first after I settled down-”

“Lie.” Song Qiyan exposed Qiao Qiao mercilessly. He let go of his hand and ordered without any doubt, “Go and stay at my place.”

“Uh…” Qiao Qiao’s mind was spinning rapidly, “I have agreed to live with Cheng Xiu… Besides, it’s also close to work this way.”

“Decided?” Song Qiyan asked.

“…Yeah.” Qiao Qiao nodded tremblingly despite the huge pressure.

“That’s just right. We can go to work together tomorrow.” Song Qiyan said lightly.

What!

Qiao Qiao’s eyes widened.

“Don’t be surprised,” Song Qiyan said with a smile, “I also have a room reserved for me on the 10th floor.”

@@@

Qiao Qiao entered Cheng Xiu’s home dejectedly.

She looked around the living room, secretly shocked by Cheng Xiu’s minimalist requirements for life.Although the room was finely decorated, you could tell at a glance that it was WAWA’s own decoration style. Cheng Xiu didn’t redesign the room like Qin Ruicheng did. He probably just brought his own things and moved in.

Then there is a bed in the living room…

Qiao Qiao hurriedly ran to other rooms to look, only to find that except for a locked room and a room converted into a gym, the other rooms were almost empty!

This person’s requirements for accommodation are too low!There was absolutely no entertainment facilities or things to spend time on, no TV, no computer. After looking for a long time, Qiao Qiao found a washing machine. Even the bed in the living room looked like a very ordinary wooden bed, and the quilt was still gray. Qiao Qiao simply couldn’t imagine that anyone could tolerate such a home.

The sound of cooking spatulas came from the kitchen. Qiao Qiao remembered that Cheng Xiu had asked her to pack her things and he was going to cook. So Qiao Qiao took out her laptop from the suitcase. After finally finding a socket, she had to find a stool with great difficulty. Finally, she turned on the computer with difficulty and found that she did not know the password for the wireless network.

She guessed that Cheng Xiu didn’t know either, so she had to move to the phone and planned to call the service desk on the 10th floor directly to inquire. Unexpectedly, as soon as her hand touched the phone, the phone suddenly rang.

Qiao Qiao answered it reflexively.

“Hello, hello? I’m Mr. Cheng’s friend, and…Mr. Cheng is cooking.” Qiao Qiao was a little embarrassed, but he couldn’t just hang up, so he had to introduce himself first.

There was a soft ‘eh’ from the other side.

Qiao Qiao sat up straight. She felt that the voice was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.

“Hello?” Qiao Qiao asked again, “Is there something urgent? Do you want me to call Mr. Cheng?”

“No need.” The other party chuckled, “Come and open the door for me, I’m at the door.”

Qiao Qiao quickly picked up the phone and opened the door. She hesitated for a moment whether to tell Cheng Xiu first, but then she thought it might be inconvenient for Cheng Xiu to be in the kitchen. After all, the guest was already at the door, so she might as well get the guest in first.

She twisted the doorknob and slowly opened the door.

Jian Baiyou, wearing a loose knitted sweater, stood at the door. He held a flip phone in his hand. When he saw Qiao Qiao, he closed the phone with a smile and said something.

…

Uh, what did he just say?

Qiao Qiao thought in annoyance that looking at his face really made it hard to listen to what he was saying and couldn’t concentrate at all!

Fortunately, Jian Baiyou didn’t think about getting Qiao Qiao’s answer. He walked in on his own. His tanzanite-blue eyes glanced at the small suitcase Qiao Qiao had casually placed in the living room. He paused for a second, and then moved away casually.

“Do you want to move in?” Jian Baiyou asked.

Qiao Qiao learned the lesson this time. She lowered her head and stopped looking stupidly at the other person’s face, so that she could avoid the other person’s indiscriminate attack on appearance.So Qiao Qiao stood by the door like a little daughter-in-law, staring at her toes and said softly: “Qin Ruicheng asked Mr. Cheng to take me in for a few nights first. I will move out when I find a house.”

“Well, that’s it.”

Qiao Qiao couldn’t see Jian Baiyou, and couldn’t tell what the other person’s face said when she said this. She had roughly heard about the relationship between Jian Baiyou and Cheng Xiu, and guessed that Cheng Xiu probably belonged to Jian Baiyou’s personal belongings, so she answered with extra caution, for fear of making Jian Baiyou unhappy and injuring Cheng Xiu.

“Do you need me to call Mr. Cheng?”

“No need.” Jian Baiyou seemed to be sitting on a stool. Qiao Qiao saw that his slender legs were crossed, looking very leisurely and at ease. “Tell him later that I won’t eat tonight, so he doesn’t have to go there for a while.”

“Yeah, okay.” Qiao Qiao quickly agreed.

“Cheng Xiu’s place is too shabby. You, a girl, may not be used to living here.”

“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter.” Qiao Qiao immediately expressed his determination, “I once lived in a twelve-person room in junior high school. There was nothing but a big bed. It’s already very good here.”

“How about living at my place?”

“Ah?” Qiao Qiao raised his head in shock, and then saw Jian Baiyou’s thin pink lips opening and closing, and said a lot.

…

Damn it, what did he just say again!

Qiao Qiao felt that he was so stupid. He looked up even though he knew that as long as he looked at Jian Baiyou, he wouldn’t be able to hear what he said.

“Well -” Qiao Qiao wiped the sweat from his forehead and said vaguely, “It’s better not to use it…”

“Well.” There was a hint of surprise in Jian Baiyou’s voice, “Then I won’t let anyone send another bed in, since you insist on sleeping with him.”

…

So what sentence did I miss?!
