Chapter 23: Smell the cypress
Unexpectedly, the customer I was going to see today turned out to be Shi Xiyu, Lin Susu was flustered, "Wait, Doctor, how could it be you?"
She didn't want to be known that she was his patient.
Shi Xiyu chuckled, "I was also surprised, I didn't expect it to be you?"
She exchanged a few words with Shi Xiyu, and Shi Xiyu saw through the worry in her heart at a glance.
"Do you know?" Wen Renxuan asked, looking at her suspiciously.
Lin Susu hurriedly said: "Sort of, there have been several encounters." She was afraid that Shi Xiyu would say that he was her psychiatrist or something.
Seeing her slightly embarrassed appearance, Shi Xiyu smiled and stopped talking.
It turned out that he was the owner of "Liuyue Xuan", Lin Susu only found out at this time, and was a little surprised. The doctor, who has always been low-key, is so generous, it can't be as simple as a psychiatrist, right?
He was delicate and deep, and he could see her contemplative expression when she lowered her head.
He said quietly: "My father has always liked to be leisurely, tranquil, quiet and elegant, and this is the house I built for my father, so that he can enjoy his old age in peace, and it is also my obligation." A hint of sadness appeared on his face, but it was fleeting.
"Since you have chosen us, we will not let you down. Wen Renxuan's firm tone is reassuring.
Shi Xiyu originally proposed to have lunch together, which was very polite. But Wen Renxuan also politely refused, saying that there was something wrong with the company. They all looked at Su Su together, wanting to hear her opinion.
Lin Susu didn't want to stay with Shi Xiyu for more at this time, so he said that he would also go back to the company. Shi Xiyu was a little lonely in his heart, but he had a smile on his face, he was very well cultivated, polite and detached, watching them leave.
"Haven't you eaten yet?" he turned his head to look at her, "What, it's not comfortable?
"I'm ......," she said, taking a deep breath and calming her mind, "I'm just a little tired, it's fine." ”
"Then I'll send you back to rest after eating. ”
She nodded, closing her eyes and resting.
****
He took her directly to the twenty-sixth floor of the company, and at the end of the hallway, there was actually a restaurant, which was connected to the outside. But this one is independent, and it is also his exclusive space.
Wen Renxuan pulled out a chair and asked her to sit down. Seeing her blank face, he said: "Sometimes, if you don't want to be disturbed, you will eat here." ”
Yes, if Su Wan comes here, there will definitely be no paparazzi to follow, naturally there is no one to disturb. Lin Susu thought about it sullenly, and suddenly, she wanted to gossip, and she asked without fear of death: "Is your marriage date with Su Wan set?"
"Marriage?" Wen Renxuan glared at her in confusion, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
She simply closed her mouth and said no more.
Wen Renxuan sandwiched a piece of beef to her, "Try it." ”
"Well, it tastes good. She spoke weakly, her face growing paler.
"What's the matter, why is your face so pale?" he looked at her worriedly.
She shook her head and picked up the juice, but after two sips, she couldn't hold on any longer, and she poured it down.
"Susu! Susu, wake up!" Wen Renxuan hugged her in time and shook her vigorously, but she still didn't react.
I carried her into the lounge, and saw that her face was pale and miserable. Wen Renxuan came to the doctor, and the doctor said that there was no major problem, just rest more, and the fainting was caused by physical exhaustion. Hearing the doctor say this, Wen Renxuan was relieved.
When the drip was about to hang up, Lin Susu finally opened his eyes.
"You're awake. Wen Renxuan happily helped her to sit up.
"I, what's wrong with me?" she struggled to recall the whole thing as she saw the drip in her hand.
"You are a little exhausted, you remember to take these medicines, and pay more attention to rest. Wen Renxuan sat on the edge of the bed, a little blamed her, "Why don't you know how to take good care of yourself?"
"I ...... I've been suffering from insomnia these days, which is why I ...... "She's still a little weak and her lips are pale.
"Okay, don't talk about it, get some rest. Wen Renxuan picked up her hand and put it in the quilt.
Lin Susu looked around, only to find that this was his lounge, and a few clothes were hanging scattered on the hanger. Thinking that the quilt covering her body still had his breath, she blushed all of a sudden and said that she would go back to rest.
Wen Renxuan held her down, "Okay, be obedient." He covered her with the quilt, leaned close to the tip of her nose, looked at her, and whispered, "Don't think about it." ”
He didn't say it was okay, but her face turned even redder when she said this, and she hurriedly pulled up the quilt to cover her head. Seeing this, Wen Renxuan laughed softly.

In the evening, Shu Yuewei was waiting for her downstairs in the company, and he called her.
Wen Renxuan closed the window, turned to her and said, "You haven't recovered yet, so don't go." ”
"But, it has to be settled, doesn't it?" Lin Susu asked him calmly, put on his coat and left.
He watched Lin Susu get into Shu Yuewei's car, and he couldn't help but clench his fists and slam the wall angrily.
****
Shu Yuewei brought her to a Western restaurant, which was his favorite Western restaurant.
"Susu, this is your favorite food, come, taste. Shu Yuewei brought the cut steak to her.
Before this was put aside, Lin Susu would definitely eat it with peace of mind, but now it's different, where can she still eat it?
She asked, "Why are you hiding it from me? If I had known it in the first place, I wouldn't have ...... at all."
Before she could finish speaking, Shu Yuewei interrupted her. He said lightly, as if he had been in control from the beginning, "Listen, this matter will not affect us in any way, and we will have to control our own lives." ”
"Won't it make a difference? Do you know how many ugly things she-your mother has said to my mother over and over again?" Lin Susu was a little anxious, her eyes turned red when she thought of the grievances her mother had suffered because of this, "Besides, she is still ...... "She is still a third party who intervenes in her parents' marriage, how can she tolerate her humiliating her mother like this?"
Shu Yuewei was silent, why didn't he feel bitter and sad about this all these years? His mother, as a third party, broke up her family, and every time he thought of this, he felt very guilty.
Of course he knew, he knew it from the beginning! His approach from the beginning was with a purpose!
"I'm with me...... Mom has been out of touch for a long time, and all these years ...... I'm upset too......" he whispered.
"But she is always your mother, and we are destined to be impossible!" Trying to hold back the grievances in his heart, his nose was sour.
She has long since severed ties with her family! She has not been in contact with her family at all these years, and she has not been in contact with her family since her grandfather kicked her out. Shu Yuewei's face was full of guilt and sadness, and she looked at her beggingly, hoping that she wouldn't push him away again.
"Shu Yuewei, are you okay to wake up? You look up at me-" It wasn't until Shu Yuewei raised her head that she continued, "I won't want a blessed marriage!" Every word, she bit it very clearly, and after speaking, she got up and left.
Listening to her words, Shu Yuewei lowered his hands and sat down on the chair.
Could it be that the relationship between him and her ended before it really began?
****
The evening breeze was cool, but it also blew away the irritability and depression in her heart, and she once again came to the riverside at night.
At this time, the city is still brightly lit, only here, the night and the river are set against the background, which also hides the mood of loss.
After going back, Lin Susu found out the medicine that the doctor had prescribed later, and hurriedly swallowed four pills before he felt at ease. She sent a message to Shi Xiyu: Doctor Shi, do you have time tomorrow?
As soon as it was sent, Shi Xiyu replied: Yes, anytime. Lin Susu breathed a sigh of relief, and the mobile phone rang again, still serving Xiyu: An.
She threw away her phone tiredly, and tonight was doomed to sleepless......
****
The next day, Shi Xiyu was waiting for her early.
"Doctor, what's wrong with me?" she asked with trepidation, fearing something bad would happen.
"Don't worry, it's you've been stressed too much lately, I'm ......" He wanted to say that he would give her hypnotherapy again, but in the end he wanted to stop talking, and if he continued to stimulate it, he didn't dare to guarantee that there would be any terrible consequences, which he didn't dare to imagine.
"Doctor Wait, what are you thinking?" Lin Susu asked him sensitively, is his condition really bad?
Shi Xiyu smiled gently, "I didn't think about anything, so don't worry too much." ”
He re-prescribed her with a side medicine, "Don't put pressure on yourself, relax, and you won't have insomnia anymore." ”
Lin Susu breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in agreement.
"Is there something you've been bothering lately? Maybe you can tell me about it. Shi Xiyu handed her the medicine and sat down across from her.
"Hmm...... Maybe it's the pressure at work, but I've been experiencing a lot of things lately. She didn't want to blame her worries on anyone else, she thought she could handle it, and besides, they didn't even seem to be friends.
He hummed, realizing that she didn't want to talk about herself at all.
Shi Xiyu opened the drawer and took out a delicate snuffbox for her, "This is the cypress grapefruit powder I specially concocted, every time I smell it, it can soothe my mood, refresh my nerves, and relieve depression." ”
Lin Susu took it with both hands, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but admire: "It's so beautiful!" The warm and moist color of blue-green, a little more is too much, a little less is too little, the round and full enamel color, next to the ancient pine that is leaning out, are two graceful and handsome cranes, adding a bit of wild interest.
"I really like it, thank you!" she was delighted and grateful, opened, approached the tip of her nose, and sniffed it gently, it was really mellow and overflowing, refreshing, and the fragrance of grapefruit leaves made people feel refreshed and made people unstoppably greedy.
She gently stroked the small and delicate snuffbox and closed the lid a little reluctantly.
Shi Xiyu was touched by her satisfied and intoxicated look, "It's good if you like it." He was stunned, but his eyes were very distracted, and through her, it was as if he saw the phantom again.
Lin Susu said goodbye to him, and Shi Xiyu came back to his senses. When her figure disappeared from his sight, he said faintly: "It's your favorite thing, and the memories in your subconscious are still the same." ”
