Chapter 70: A Sudden Confession
Xu Chengyi grabbed her hand and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
As if he felt that she was awake, he opened his eyes and met Su Yunuan's clean eyes.
"You're awake?" He smiled, and then saw that she was distracted somewhere, so he followed her eyes, and saw his own hand tightly grasping hers, and he withdrew his hand apologetically, and smiled, "Sorry, I just fell asleep." โ
Su Yunuan shook his head. "It's okay, I still have to thank you, if it weren't for you, I might still be stuck in the elevator right now."
Thinking back to how she was trapped in the elevator, how long she screamed, how long she shouted, no one came to save her, and at that time she really thought that she was going to be trapped in it for the night today.
Speaking of this, Xu Chengyi furrowed his brows, and although his voice was gentle, it carried a hint of questioning: "I asked you to go to have coffee with you when you got off work in the evening, why didn't you go?" And why are you trapped in an elevator? โ
If she had gone with her, she probably wouldn't have been trapped in the elevator.
Su Yunuan sighed, she could also hear the unhappiness in his tone, so she could only spread her hands helplessly: "Manager Xu...... I didn't mean not to go with you, I was just too tired, I fell asleep on the table after you left, and when I woke up, it was already night, I packed up my things and went back, who knows, the elevator will actually break down in the middle. โ
Hearing this, Xu Chengyi's eyes became more gentle when he looked at her, "Okay, I'm wrong to blame you." However, why are you so tired, is it embarrassing for you on behalf of An An? โ
"No, maybe it's too hot." She turned her head slightly, how could she possibly let him know the pimple between her and Daidai? If he knew, he would definitely stand out for her.
At this time, Xu Chengyi suddenly reached out and wanted to touch her cheek, and was stunned for a long time, just brushed the broken hair on her forehead to the back of her head, and said softly: "Why are you always so wolf every time I touch you?" โ
Hearing this, Su Yunuan also smiled slightly, "Yes, I also want to know, why am I so wolf every time I meet you, Manager Xu, you won't be the disaster star in my life, right?" โ
As soon as the words fell, he felt that his nose was scraped by him: "Nonsense, even if it is a star, I am also your lucky star, you see that every time you wolf bรจi, it is I who saves you from fire and water." โ
"It seems to be the same, then even if you are a lucky star!"
"Why are you always so incapable of taking care of yourself? Like a child! Speaking of this, Xu Chengyi glanced at her, the first time she met her, she was embarrassed by wolves, and her white clothes were stained with water, but she didn't cry, and she was proud.
The second time I met her was in the supermarket next to the hospital, she ignored her own danger, stupidly used her body to protect the child in danger, and put her own safety out of the way.
The third time I touched her, her feet were red and swollen from boiling water, and her skin and flesh were about to crack, but she still smiled and said that it was okay.
And this time, she was trapped in the elevator, and when he entered, she was so frightened that she hugged herself tightly and buried herself in her arms and cried bitterly.
At that moment, he could say that he really felt her fear, because the previous times, she was not afraid of danger, but this time, she was actually trembling and crying.
Thinking of this, he looked at her with doubts in his eyes and asked, "Are you afraid of the dark?" โ
When Su Yunuan heard this, his body trembled slightly, and after a long time, he nodded gently.
"Can you tell me why?" Xu Chengyi stared at her tightly, this girl is so distressing, she always seems to have endless secrets, a lot seems to have happened in her, sometimes her eyes are as pure as a glass of spring water, and sometimes, she is sad as if she has gone through vicissitudes.
What happened to her before that would make such a young girl have such an expression and eyes, and even go to the company to work as a cleaner regardless of Qiฤ.
To him, these are all a mystery.
He didn't dare to ask her before, for fear that he would poke at the pain in her heart.
But after this time, he felt that his curiosity was stronger.
Su Yunuan didn't want to say it, but when he saw him looking at him worriedly, and remembered that he always saved himself every time he was in danger, he sighed slightly.
"Darkness makes me feel insecure."
"Did anything unpleasant happen to you before?"
Su Yunuan lowered her head, and her tone was calm, as if she was saying something that had nothing to do with her.
"My mother, who died when I was very young, died because she was sick, and because of her illness, my father went bankrupt and sold all the things in the house, and he did not cure my mother's illness. My mother didn't want to drag my father and me down, so she turned on an oxygen mask and died of lack of oxygen. โ
Hearing this, Xu Cheng couldn't help but sigh to Su Yunuan's mother, this woman is so great.
"When I was very young, I was afraid of the dark, so my mother would always give me a small lamp when I was sleeping, I remember, the lamp was specially bought for me, because I was afraid of the dark, so she would always give me a small lamp at night, this feeling, accompanied me for eight years."
"However, after eight years, everything has changed, and no one will turn on the light for me when I sleep, and no one will be with me. Whenever I fall into darkness, I feel as if I have gone back to the day my mother died, it was dark all around, there was no mother, there was no lamp, there was just endless darkness. โ
"I'm ashamed, right? My mother said that a girl's tears are the most precious thing and cannot be dropped at will, and I promised my mother since I was a child that I would not cry and would not throw away the most precious things that belonged to me. So, when my mother passed away, I didn't cry...... I didn't cry afterwards. โ
"But tonight, when I was stuck in the elevator, there was nothing but darkness around me...... I just felt ...... I feel like I'm going back to the day my mother passed away, and I can't help it! โ
Su Yunuan's expression was faint, and there was still a smile on his face, as if this happened to someone else at all.
But she didn't know that the more she was like this, the more distressed Xu Chengyi became.
"I ......"
Before Su Yunuan's words could be spoken, Xu Chengye had already stepped forward and hugged her fiercely, so strong that even he felt amazing.
"Manager Xu......"
"Call me by name, didn't I say it? We are friends, don't call me Manager Xu, it seems to be raw! โ
"But......" Su Yunuan was held in his arms, and the warm embrace made her feel very comfortable, but his strength was too great, and her body was painful.
Xu Chengyi's strength did not weaken, but increased, he buried his face in her neck, and said softly: "No, I like you, warm." โ
Rumble!
Su Yunuan felt his brain thump, and he couldn't hear anything after that.
What did she hear? She, right?
"Manager Xu, you, what are you talking about?" Su Yunuan realized that his words were a little stammering.
Xu Chengyi was afraid that she would reject him, so he hugged her tighter and was unwilling to let go of her. "I feel sorry for you, I feel sorry for you, let me take care of you, okay?"
He didn't want to see her wolf bรจi unbearable anymore, every time she pretended to be strong, it would make him feel distressed, he wanted to hurt this girl, he wanted to keep her by his side, and spoil her for the rest of his life.
"Manager Xu, you let me go first." Su Yunuan was a little out of breath, "I'm about to be strangled to death by you." โ
Hearing this, Xu Chengyi realized that his strength was too great, and quickly let her go, but he still refused to retreat, and his big hand still held her hand tightly.
"I'm sorry, I was too anxious just now."
Su Yunuan raised his head and met his gentle watery eyes, panicking in his heart.
"You ......" she thought that he had always been good to her as a boss who cared about his subordinates, and never thought that he would have a mind about himself, and now he confessed so suddenly, it really frightened her, and she didn't know what to do.
Xu Chengyi looked at her tenderly, his eyes were so gentle that he could almost drown, and his big hands were very warm, just covering her small palms.
"I didn't know when I liked you for a short time, but I had a strange feeling when I first saw you, and it wasn't until the second time I saw you that you were about to be in danger, and I was a little scared, and then I was sure that I really liked you. But I'm afraid I'll scare you, so I'd like to tell you later. But seeing you like this tonight, I really can't wait, I don't want to see you alone again, Su Yunuan, give me a chance, I'm willing to be your dependent, and take care of you forever in the future, okay? โ
Hearing this, Su Yunuan said that it was fake not to be moved, but it was just ...... Touched is not liked, her heart has always seemed to be only Mu Mingyou, although it is ...... Mu Mingyou has been rejected by her, because she feels that he can't give her the love she wants, even if the two are together, it won't last long, she always feels that Mu Mingyou doesn't really like her.
Lest you be heartbroken in the future, you might as well simply do it.
Besides, she has a boyfriend now, although she said it was a fake.
"Manager Xu......"
"Call me Chengyi!"
"Chengyi......" Su Yunuan always felt a little awkward, but as soon as she screamed, Xu Chengyi's eyes softened a little, and she looked away a little panicked.
"But I already have a boyfriend."
Hearing this, Xu Chengyi's smile condensed on his lips, as if he didn't believe in this blow. "Say, what did you say?"
"I said I already had a boyfriend."
"How is that possible?"
"Really, Manager Xu, I've been with him for a while." Su Yunuan lowered her head and said softly, although the injured expression on his face made her feel very guilty, but with her identity, she was definitely not worthy of him, and she was ...... to him I don't have that feeling, I just feel a very cordial feeling, it's my brother.
"How is that possible? And if you really have a boyfriend? Then why haven't I heard you mention it? Haven't seen him next to you either? "If she really has a boyfriend, why does that man never show up, and he won't come to the company to pick her up from work, a girl like her, if it were him, she would definitely hold her in the palm of her hand and pamper her, pick her up from work every day, take her to eat delicious food, and give her the best. How could she allow herself to get hurt again and again?
