Chapter 007: Matters of the Heart
The end of the month is the deadline for the magazine, and it's 10 a.m., which is the busiest time of the day. The editors were busy proofreading the manuscript or bowing their heads to study the copy, and the crisp sound of keyboard tapping filled their eardrums.
Through the reflection of the window glass, Zhou Haolin did not forget to take the time to peek at Qin Siyan in his forgetfulness.
Si Yan was looking out the window in a daze, a red and blue pencil unconsciously circling between his white fingers—a position that had been maintained for half an hour.
From the first day that Sven was delicate and reserved Si Yanjin entered the Maple Grove magazine, he began to pay attention to her.
In the past three years, he has a good understanding of the meaning of her words and deeds, every gesture and gesture.
So, he was sure that Siyan was bothered by something. Those pure and clear eyes like water are foggy at the moment.
She was obviously beside him, within reach, but he felt that she was far, far away from him, and her thin and thin body seemed to be going away with the wind at any time.
He shook his head, shaking away the delusion.
"Si Yan, do you have something on your mind?" Zhou Haolin slid the chair to her side, and bent his fingers tapped her tabletop.
Since you can't guess it, don't guess again, and it will be faster to ask me directly.
"Ga?" Si Yan turned his head and looked at him blankly.
"Did you encounter any trouble?" Zhou Haolin lowered his voice and repeated patiently.
"Well, no. Si Yan shook his head slightly, and his white porcelain-like skin was stained with a thin layer of red.
Desertion was caught, it's really embarrassing.
"Maybe, I can help you. Zhou Haolin looked sincere.
"Really, I'm fine. Si Yan picked up the pencil in a panic, lowered his head, and scribbled circles on the paper.
It's been a week since the last reception, and Yichen hasn't even dialed her on the phone.
My mother didn't know the inside story, and urged her to resign every day to work in Yichen's new company.
She was overwhelmed, but she dared not speak out.
The only thing I can do is to excuse myself from working overtime and go home later and later every day.
But this passive resistance has increased my mother's antipathy to the magazine.
The homework that must be done every day is to count the magazine's mistakes in her ears, and the determination to force her to leave the magazine is getting stronger and stronger.
How could she not know that this was a vicious circle? But there was no way around it.
"Si Yan," Zhou Haolin sighed secretly, and reluctantly slid back to his booth: "Remember, if you need to, I will be by your side at any time." ”
For three years, no matter how he explicitly and implied, she was indifferent, and always adhered to this line of colleagues.
His enthusiasm and dedication are like mud cows entering the sea and disappearing without a trace.
"Yo~!" The colleague who had been eavesdropping on the side for a long time began to heckle.
"Si Yan, do you hear it?" Sister Zhao, who was sitting opposite Si Yan, squeezed her eyes at her.
"Sister Zhao~" Si Yan frowned lightly and protested in a low voice.
Others don't care, Sister Zhao knows that she has no feelings for Haolin, so why is she just coaxing?
"Huh, when did you start dating?" the proofreader, Kobayashi, frowned, and leaned over to listen to the gossip.
"Yes, everyone's colleagues, it's not interesting to hide it from us......" Editor-in-charge Xiaofu was slightly displeased.
"Haolin, you hug the beauty, why do you have to express it, right?"
The atmosphere in the editorial office suddenly became lively.
Si Yan blushed in embarrassment, and really didn't know how to deal with this chaotic scene, so he had to hang his eyes passively and look at the computer silently.
"No, don't talk nonsense~" Zhou Haolin covered the loss in his heart and smiled to relieve her
"Whew, it's so stingy~" Xiaomei lay back in the arc of the chair in frustration.
"Of course it's no problem to have a treat," Zhou Haolin readily agreed: "In the evening, I will invite everyone to go to the big waves to dig for sand and roar." ”
"It's decided, but no scalpers are allowed!" everyone clapped their hands and stomped their feet, and the editorial room cheered.
