Rose paused for a moment, her eyes glinting with hope, and she said, "But...... ， I hope that we can meet from time to time， even if we can only meet on Sundays， it would be nice.” ("But...... I hope we can see each other from time to time, even if only on Sundays, that's fine. ”）

Xu Xincheng hesitated for a moment, he hadn't woken up from the thoughts just now, and it was estimated that Rose was thinking about accepting her invitation, so he hurriedly added: "So, do you think you would have time to meet tomorrow?" We can go have some fun together， maybe， we can go watch a movie or something.” ("Well, do you think you'll have time to meet tomorrow? We can go and have some fun together, maybe we can go to a movie or something.") As she said the latter sentence, Rose's tone was filled with excitement, and a hint of fervent plea appeared in her beautiful turquoise eyes, which immediately turned into a small flame of hope.

Xu Xincheng saw the eagerness in Rose's eyes, but he knew very well that he couldn't agree, once he promised the first time, there would be a second and a third time. He also knew that she would be very sad if she rejected Rose like this, but if she rejected Rose after a few relationships, she would definitely be even sadder.

So, he secretly made up his mind in his heart that this kind of thing must be decided properly, otherwise, he will be in turmoil in the future, and this is true for him, and even more so for Rose.

However, even if you want to break it, you still have to grasp the proportion and strength. She just offered to meet now, to watch a movie, first to refuse her invitation, first to break her thoughts, with Rose's cleverness, she would understand. As for the reasons, he doesn't need to make them up, he has ready-made and justified reasons.

So, he said apologetically, "Rose, I am so sorry!" But I am afraid I will have to work tomorrow.” ("Rose, I'm sorry!, but I'm afraid I'll have to work tomorrow.") ”）

The small flame of hope in Rose's eyes was extinguished in an instant, turning into disappointment. “It’s Sunday tomorrow， Sunday is the day to relax and have fun.” ("Tomorrow is Sunday, and Sunday should be a day of relaxation and entertainment.") Rose's tone of voice changed from pleading to begging.

“I am truly sorry， but， I don’t have Sundays now， I have to work every day.” ("I'm really sorry, but I don't have Sundays now, I have to work every day.") He's telling the truth, he's been working every Sunday for the past month, he's been working every day. He now arrives at the company at about 8 o'clock in the morning every day, and usually comes home at 10 or even 11 o'clock in the evening, whether it is on the way to and from work, or after returning home, all he thinks about is work, and even when he sleeps and dreams at night, he dreams of work. Moreover, he knows very well that his working state will be difficult to change before the successful opening of Sino-US Xinfei Company.

Rose was surprised and said, "My goodness! Leona is right， she said you have become a workaholic.” ("Oh my god!!"—Leona was right, she said you've become a workaholic.) ”）

Xu Xincheng noticed the change in the expression on Rose's face, first surprised, then puzzled, and finally concerned.

She asked with concern, "Do you really have to work that hard every day?" ("Do you really need to work so hard every day?")

Xu Xincheng smiled lightly and explained: "Rose, as you know, the New Era Industrial Park is about to open, and our company, the Sino-America XinFei company is about to officially open too, and we are decorating the offices, working on all kinds of the preparations for the openings. There is just too much important work and not enough time， so， I really don’t have time to relax and have fun now.” ("Rose, you know, the New Era Industrial Park is about to open, Sino-American Xinfei is about to officially open, we are renovating the office, and we are making various preparations for the opening and opening of the park. There are so many important things to do, but not enough time, so I really don't have time to rest and play right now. ”）

“Steve， I have become very concerned about you， you are working way too hard now. And working too hard is definitely not good to your life and your health.” ("Steve, I'm worried about you, you're working too hard.") Overworking is very bad for your life and health. ”）

Xu Xincheng is very grateful and touched by Rose's concern, and it can be seen from her eyes that her concern is heartfelt. He said gratefully, "Rose, thanks a lot for your concern!" ("Rose, thank you so much for your concern!")

However, he only paused for a moment and continued, "But I am good, I feel good. I really don’t mind working every day， I don’t mind at all， actually， I don’t even think it’s hard to me.” ("But I'm fine, I'm feeling good.") I didn't care about working every day, I didn't care, in fact, I didn't even think it was hard work for me. ”）

Rose frowned slightly, looking obviously a little anxious, and she said urgently: "It is just a job, and you have a life. Do you really think that your Job is more important than your own life?” ("It's just a job, and you still have a life.") Do you really think that work is more important than your own life?")

Does he really need to work so hard? Of course he does, and he doesn't have the slightest reluctance, no complaining. For him, it is not just a job, but a commitment, a responsibility, and a responsibility. For him, work is indeed more important than life. However, there was really no way to explain this to Rose, she wouldn't understand, and took a step back to say that even if she could really understand, he wouldn't be able to explain the cause and effect of the matter, because it involved Lucy's secret.

Xu Xincheng thought about it, and he could only try to use other words, "To me, it's more than a job, it's part of my life, it's a major part of my life." ("For me, it's not just a job, it's a part of my life, it's a big part of my life.") ”）

For him, his current work is the biggest and most important part of his life, although this part takes up most of the time of the day, but he is very satisfied with the current life situation, because every day is very fulfilling, and every day is very meaningful.

“Are you serious?” ("Are you serious?") Rose shouted in surprise.

Xu Xincheng nodded firmly and said seriously, "Yes, I am serious." ("Yes, I'm serious.") ”）

Her eyes widened and she said puzzledly, "Job is job, life is life, how can you mix them together?" ("Work is work, life is life, how can you confuse them?")

Xu Xincheng knew that she would say this, and he hurriedly brought out a famous sentence he had prepared, "When someone enjoys a job, and his love to that job reaches a certain point, then, that job means more than just a job to him, it could become part of his life." ("When a person enjoys his work, when he loves his work to a certain extent, then that job is not just a job for him, it becomes a part of his life.") ”）

He paused before he continued, "I love my job, and it has become a very important part of my life." (I love my job, it's become a very important part of my life.) ）

Rose's beautiful eyes suddenly lost their brilliance, she lowered her head slightly, and said wistfully, "OK, I got it, I understood." ("Okay, I see, I understand.") ）

Xu Xincheng knew that with Rose's cleverness, of course she understood, of course she understood. For a man, if the girl who invites him to the movies is what he really likes, then, no matter how busy his work is, no matter how important his work is, he will not use the reason that he is busy with work and important to refuse the girl's sincere invitation. As long as he really likes her, no matter how busy he is, he will definitely be able to squeeze out time.

With Rose's cleverness, of course she knew his intentions, he didn't want to say it too directly, he didn't want to hurt her directly.

Looking at Rose, whose eyes were distracted, Xu Xincheng felt a burst of guilt in his heart, and then felt at a loss, the atmosphere between the two of them was really awkward at this time, both of them had been silent for about two minutes, and he had racked his brains for two minutes, and he couldn't think of what to say next.

Rose finally raised her head slowly, there was a little glint in her eyes, she picked up the coffee cup, and slowly put it down, she looked at Xu Xincheng and asked, "Steve, are you happy?" ("Steve, are you happy?")
