Chapter 146
"Xixi. Get up!" Xue Zimo knocked on the door. But there was no movement for a long time.
Gu Xiyan didn't know when she fell asleep. Just lying on that table. I slept until the next morning. Pull open the door. In Xue Zimo's slightly surprised eyes. Step into the bathroom.
"You didn't sleep well last night. Xue Zimo followed behind Gu Xiyan and asked. Gu Xiyan had obvious puffiness on the right half of his face.
"No, I didn't. It's just a little late to read the book. Gu Xiyan looked at herself in the mirror. I was also taken aback. Hair messy. The eyes are a little swollen. The face is also not very symmetrical. Quickly plunge yourself headlong into the water.
"Wash down and have breakfast. Xue Zimo stared at Gu Xiyan for a while. No more asking. Turn around and go downstairs.
Gu Xiyan raised his head in surprise. Early. Xue Zimo actually said to let her go down for breakfast. Walk to the restaurant. I saw Xue Zimo pouring soy milk. He sat down hesitantly. looked at Xue Zimo a little distracted. How much warm. Isn't this the scene I've been looking forward to for a long time?
Xue Zimo knew that Gu Xiyan was looking at him. He wished her gaze could stay with him longer. But every time he stayed under her gaze, he didn't stay long and wanted to run away. His hand shook involuntarily. He handed the bowl over. "I didn't find it before. There is this at the entrance of the community. It's actually quite convenient. It won't be long in coming. ”
didn't wait for Gu Xiyan to ask. Xue Zimo explained to himself. He knew it in his heart. He was currying favor with Gu Xiyan. He just wanted to see her smile. Even if the corners of the mouth are slightly upturned, it's fine.
Gu Xiyan took the bowl of soy milk. watched Xue Zimo push the buns on the plate to himself again. A mist appeared in his eyes. Hurriedly bow your head. Drank two sips of soy milk. Covered the choking of throats......
"I still have to go on a bad trip. Probably departing after lunch. This time, I will be back in about 3 days. Xue Zimo looked at Gu Xiyan, who had been keeping his head down.
"Hmm. Gu Xiyan barely made a sound from her nose. I was suddenly pinched in my heart again. Suddenly raised his head. Ren Xue...... Do you go too. ”
"Oh...... Myself. Xue Zimo heard Gu Xiyan's question. I felt like I had been bumped. "Yes...... Is there something going on. ”
"That's it...... Her manuscript. Several areas need to be changed. If not. It will be a little inconvenient. "Gu Xiyan never lies. In order to hide their hearts. But she said with a sweat on her back.
"What a draft. Xue Zimo tried to recall. About Ren Xue. It's been since she became her assistant. He had almost forgotten that she was still writing. About her manuscript. The last time I saw it seemed to be two weeks ago.
"An article on the topic of divorce. Gu Xiyan took a sip of soy milk. She loves soy milk. There is nothing wrong with a woman eating more soy products. But she doesn't like this kind of original soy milk with a strong beany smell.
"Why hasn't it happened. Xue Zimo asked subconsciously. It shouldn't have been pressed for so long. Ren Xue's drafts have always been connected. It's broken in the middle. How much will be affected. And I've seen that manuscript myself. No problem......
Come to mind. Xue Zimo raised his eyes and looked at Gu Xiyan. Gu Xiyan was also looking at him. "I remember it was at least two weeks ago. ”
"Yes. It's been half a month. Gu Xiyan put down the bowl of soy milk. It's hard to swallow. Don't swallow it. "I think the manuscript is out there. I'm going to overturn the whole page I've prepared. Or I'll change the manuscript again. Or change the one that snows. I wondered if the latter would be more viable. ”
"I see. Xue Zimo read silently. The heart also let go down. It turned out that it was only because there was such a conflict. It's not for any other reason.
"That's it. I also know that Ren Xue's manuscript can't be delayed. If you don't do it again this week. I'm afraid it's going to be wasted. Gu Xiyan kept looking at Xue Zimo. Some dodgy glances and slightly trembling hands on the table. The movements are subtle. But I still saw it in my eyes. He was nervous.
"Ren Xue's work pressure is relatively high. Sometimes I forget that she still has to write a column. Ren Xue never mentioned this matter to him. He didn't notice that her manuscript had not been published. In fact, I didn't expect her to say such a thing. Now in addition to work. I don't even say a word of ordinary words.
Gu Xiyan has the initiative in her drafting. There are her criteria for judging. She can have a sense of layout trade-offs. That only shows one thing: she is maturing in her work. And she can no longer be like she was when she first started working. "Fingering" in front of her.
Xue Zimo realized that he couldn't sit down in Gu Xiyan's eyes anymore. Because at this time he already felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. Stand up. Walk to the living room. Pick up your coat.
"Otherwise. You go first. You have to have a meeting in the morning. I can walk on my own. Gu Xiyan simply threw the uneaten buns back on the plate. I don't know how the mood is. It's changed. Hands on forehead. Very frustrated.
If Xue Zimo "justifiably" accused her of delaying the manuscript. She would feel that he was holding on to Ren Xue's grievances. And he was like this. She felt that he was "running away". Anyway. One way or another. He doesn't like him here.
Xue Zimo put on his coat. looked at Gu Xiyan, who was sitting at the dining table with his head drooping and still motionless. There was a pause for a few seconds. "Good. Then I'll go first. Be careful not to be late. ”
With the sound of the door shutting sounded. Gu Xiyan raised her head. He patted the top of his head with his hand. It was harder than she had imagined. She thought she was doing her best. Even if you lift your legs with your hands. I can always get over that. But it's clear. She overestimated her heart. You can hold yourself up and put on a noble posture. But I can't get over that shadow of the psyche.
Xue Zimo arrived at the office. Ren Xue had already cleaned up his desk. Xue Zimo didn't even look at it. Grab the stack in the top right corner of the table. These tacit understandings were indeed cultivated very quickly. Ren Xue never told him anything where she put it. It's just that he will put the first thing he needs to use in the most convenient position. It's been a long time. He's getting more and more comfortable.
And Gu Xiyan is another. Will keep reminding him. For example, the shirt is in the first compartment of the wardrobe. Jacket in a few compartments. As long as there is no reminder once. He still couldn't find it in the first place. Because he felt that Gu Xiyan didn't tell him the specific location this time. Isn't it where it came from? He subconsciously started from other places first......
Turn around and get ready to go to the 18th floor. The group meeting room is located.
"12 minutes. There's still enough time. Ren Xue walked in from outside. In his hand is the cup that Xue Zimo usually drinks water from. looked at Xue Zimo who walked out. Xue Zimo, who quickly stood in front of her. A stone's throw away. The distance made her a little panicked.
She slipped past Xue Zimo before she lost her mind. Put the cup on Xue Zimo's table. I felt that Xue Zimo didn't leave.
Sure enough, Xue Zimo turned his head along his gaze. What I saw was Ren Xue's back. Ren Xue is now even facing him less and less. At this time, the back did not move at all. Is she waiting for herself to leave?
Originally, I wanted to say, "The manuscript has been pressed." Don't say a word. ”。 She should know that she has always had a clear distinction between public and private. But it was pressed back again. Even if it is a matter of remedy. But it was Gu Xiyan who broke the "prison". He had to weigh it. Besides, hasn't the manuscript been delayed?
Xue Zimo struggled for a moment. Walked out.
Ren Xue listened to the footsteps gradually drifting away. He took a long breath. Whether it is Xue Zimo's attitude or her rational analysis. She's been trying to turn the page. The more you want to turn over it quickly. But I can't turn it over.
Every time I think about it. Every face. Shame on you. Always apologize. Blame yourself every time...... Every emotion has a ** that makes her want to escape. If only time could be turned back. If you go backwards. Would she still do that?
She's not someone who regrets it easily. That's why I made that assumption. That's the answer she hoped "wouldn't" pop up. Then she will be a little relieved. At least prove that you are still a moral person. But the heart gave her the opposite answer. This is the culprit that scares her.
Ren Xue was helpless. Hand rubbing the cup. Now there is no choice but to withdraw. Gone forever. The two don't see each other. There seems to be no other way.
"Is it already a meeting? From the moment Gu Xiyan entered the office, her eyes were aimed at Ren Xue in Xue Zimo's room. It's just that she didn't expect to sort out the manuscript herself. Ren Xue was still there when he walked over. And almost all the same.
"......" Ren Xue turned around suddenly. Hand to the cup. Make a "pop" sound.
The cup spilled on the ground. The two watched as the unbroken half rolled around on the ground. Make a "clanging" sound. until the sound gets quieter and quieter until it disappears......
"Alas. When he bought it, Xue Zimo said don't buy this kind of cup. Accidentally fell to the ground. If you want to stick it, you won't be able to stick it. Gu Xiyan squatted down. Start picking up those pieces. Pick up the biggest one. Dumbfounded.
"You be careful. Ren Xue reminded as she took the dustpan and broom. "I'm sorry ......"
Gu Xiyan looked up at Ren Xue. It was a face full of guilt, so real. The corners of his mouth tugged at a smile. "If it's broken, it's broken. He didn't think it was practical. ”
Gu Xiyan watched Ren Xue sweep those fragments into the dustpan. "You don't know how much mess you're going to have to help him clean up. ”
"You should know that Editor-in-Chief Xue is a meticulous and cautious person. I'm also doing leftover stuff. Actually, I didn't work as hard as you think. Ren Xue wanted to get closer to Gu Xiyan. How good the old days were. Now that I think about it. She likes Gu Xiyan very much, complaining to her about a little hardship. Tell me about it. But she knew that the feeling of leaning on her shoulder seemed like never going back.
"Why don't you even ask me. Gu Xiyan stared at Ren Xue. Ren Xue is now more focused on doing things. Just like now. To sweep the floor is to sweep the floor. Just keep your head down and sweep the floor.
"What. Ren Xue's heart jumped up inexplicably. "What do I have to ask you. ”
