Chapter 177 Big Leader
Ran Qiuye's heart was beating fast and her cheeks were starting to get hot. Chu Tian's breath surrounded her and she felt like she was about to suffocate. She wanted to push him away, but her hands were so soft that she had no strength at all.
"Speak, Qiu Ye." Chu Tian's voice was low and hoarse, with a hint of suppressed desire.
Ran Qiuye bit her lip and finally mustered up the courage to say, "I...I came to see Sha Zhu because Teacher Li wanted to bring him and me together..."
Chu Tian's body suddenly stiffened when he heard this, and his eyes instantly became sharp, as if he wanted to see through people. He stared at Ran Qiuye and asked word by word: "What about you? Do you want to be with him?"
Ran Qiuye felt uneasy when he looked at her, and hurriedly shook her head and said, "No... No, I don't..."
Before she could finish, Chu Tian suddenly lowered his head and kissed her. His kiss was overbearing and passionate, with a hint of punishment, as if he wanted to devour her.
Ran Qiuye's eyes widened, her mind went blank, and she had no idea how to react.
……
On the other side, Sha Zhu was called home by the factory director to cook.
"Xiao He, your cooking skills are amazing. It tastes much better than what my old wife makes!" The factory director praised the dish while eating.
"Thank you for the compliment, leader. I'm just a cook and I can cook some food." Sha Zhu smiled naively, but he was very happy in his heart.
"Well, the meat is fried well, fat but not greasy, and it smells delicious. Where did you buy it? Why isn't the meat in our cafeteria so delicious?" asked the factory director, pointing to a plate of braised pork.
"Hey, this meat wasn't bought. It was hunted by a brother in our yard. He's a purchasing agent for our factory. He often goes to the mountains. If he's lucky, he can hunt some wild game." Sha Zhu made up a lie.
"Oh? There's such a thing?" The factory manager became interested. "You have a good brother. Introduce him to me if you have the chance. I like him!"
"Okay, when he comes back from hunting one day, I'll ask him to bring you one!" Sha Zhu agreed readily, but he began to wonder in his heart, where can he find a hunter for him?
"It's settled then! Don't forget it when the time comes!" The factory director patted Sha Zhu's shoulder and said with a smile.
Sha Zhu finished his meal with the factory director, packed up his things, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard the factory director say, "Xiao He, I heard that you are very close to Teacher Ran from our factory?"
Sha Zhu's heart skipped a beat and a bad premonition came to his mind.
He tried to force a smile and said, "Leader, you are joking. Teacher Ran and I are just ordinary colleagues. There is no such thing as close or not close."
"Hey, you don't have to play dumb in front of me. I heard that you often deliver lunch boxes to Teacher Ran and help her wash clothes. This relationship is not ordinary!" The factory director looked at Sha Zhu with a smile, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Sha Zhu was speechless. He couldn't say that he regarded Ran Qiuye as a substitute for Qin Huairu, right? He coughed twice and said, "Leader, you misunderstood. I just felt that Teacher Ran was very pitiful, so I took care of her more. You know, I am a soft-hearted person and I can't bear to see others suffer."
"Oh? Really?" The factory director obviously didn't believe Sha Zhu's nonsense. He said meaningfully, "I heard that Teacher Ran is a beauty in our factory. There are so many people pursuing her. Why do you treat her so well?"
"This..." Sha Zhu was speechless after being asked. He couldn't say that it was because Ran Qiuye looked like Qin Huairu, right?
Seeing Sha Zhu's hesitation, the factory manager was more certain of his guess. He patted Sha Zhu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Xiao He, I know you are a good guy, but you can't force feelings, and you can't be one-sided. Do you understand what I mean?"
Sha Zhu was completely confused. He had no idea what the factory director was up to. He asked blankly, "Boss, what do you want to say?"
The factory manager smiled and said, "I heard that Teacher Ran doesn't seem to like you very much. Have you ever thought that she might like someone else?"
When Sha Zhu heard this, his face suddenly turned ugly. The scene of Chu Tian and Ran Qiuye together involuntarily emerged in his mind, and he felt as if his heart was pricked by a needle.
"Leader, please stop joking with me." Sha Zhu forced a smile, but his tone was a little bitter.
Seeing him like this, the factory manager stopped teasing him and said seriously, "Xiao He, I'm telling you these things today for your own good. You're not a child anymore, it's time to find a partner and start a family. Don't waste your time on someone who's not worth it."
Sha Zhu remained silent. He knew that what the factory director said made sense, but he just couldn't let go of Ran Qiuye. Maybe it was because she looked like Qin Huairu, or maybe it was because he felt the long-lost warmth from Ran Qiuye. In short, he couldn't help wanting to be nice to her, even though he knew she didn't like him.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back quickly." Seeing that Sha Zhu looked absent-minded, the factory manager stopped talking.
Sha Zhu stood up and said goodbye, leaving the factory director's house. He felt extremely heavy-hearted. The factory director's words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in his heart. He knew that Ran Qiuye's heart was not with him. He was just a passer-by in her life, and she was his unattainable dream...
Sha Zhu walked absentmindedly on the way back to the courtyard, thinking about the words of the factory director and the scene of Ran Qiuye and Chu Tian together. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt. He couldn't help but stop, took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep puff, trying to numb himself with nicotine.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a familiar laugh not far away. He looked up and saw Ran Qiuye and Chu Tian walking side by side in front of him. The two were talking and laughing, and they looked very close. Sha Zhu was stunned and the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground. He stared at this scene blankly, as if someone had pressed his acupoints, and he didn't move.
Chu Tian seemed to have noticed something. He turned his head to look in the direction of Sha Zhu. When he saw Sha Zhu's figure, a barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth. Then he put his arms around Ran Qiuye's shoulders more intimately and whispered something in her ear. After hearing this, Ran Qiuye also turned her head to look at Sha Zhu. A hint of surprise flashed across her face, and then it was quickly replaced by a complicated look. She opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but she said nothing.
Sha Zhu looked at this scene, and felt as if there was a flame burning in his heart. His eyes gradually turned blood red. He clenched his fists, and his nails dug deep into his flesh. He wanted to rush forward, to separate the two, to ask Ran Qiuye why she treated him like this? But he finally held back, because he knew that he had no qualifications and no position.
Chu Tian looked at Sha Zhu provocatively, then walked away with his arm around Ran Qiuye, leaving Sha Zhu standing there alone, like a sculpture, motionless.
