324. Dangerous gaze
Xia Zhi didn't know how long Su Xiao hadn't slept soundly.
She turned off the headlights in the office, leaving only a desk lamp to illuminate a small area of the laptop, and when she realized that the sound of her typing on the keyboard might affect his sleep, and wanted to carry the computer outside, Su Xiao was already asleep.
It's really tired, from body to heart, but he didn't complain a word, swallowing all the grievances into his stomach.
She shifted her gaze from his serene face back to the computer screen. She was also tired. Now the three official accounts are operating at the same time, although they are also soliciting contributions from writers, but one person is responsible for one and the workload is quite large. The most immediate consequence is that updating the content every day becomes a dead task.
The staff of the weekly event café will help set up the venue, and they will find part-time jobs for larger events, but this seems very unprofessional.
After editing and sending the manuscript, she opened her notebook and imagined the staff structure that needed to be expanded. It's true that she is not good at managing her, she has been with Guo Shufeng for many years, and she was also driven out of the duck when she was in Ouya and made a recruitment plan, but she didn't learn anything.
A new type of enterprise like Youzhi doesn't seem to have any corporate structure templates to copy, so she found some references on the Internet, and then wrote it with her temperament, and sent it to Guo Shufeng for checks after she was ready to write, and then entered the recruitment process.
By the time all the work was done, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
She stood up and moved her waist and legs, she still couldn't accept old age, she used to be a good hiker, but now she feels unable to sit still after sitting and working for a few hours.
She tiptoed towards the door, and when she passed Su Xiao, she couldn't help but stop.
She looked down at him, and he was so quiet even in his sleeping position that if it weren't for the slight heaval of his chest, she really wondered if he was breathing.
She took two steps back and crouched down in front of his bed, so closer to his near-perfect face. Now, she can take a good look at him with impunity.
He looked a little thinner than he had been two years ago, and the lines of his face were stiffer and the corners sharper. The eyelashes are thick and long, and the eyelids hide a pair of bright eyes, which can be read through these eyes.
It's very strange, she is obviously face blind, but she remembered him when she saw him for the first time, people with good skin can still be seen often on the streets of Nanzhou, and she has never seen anyone as memorable as him.
But she loved him, and not just because of the face. On the contrary, it was precisely because of this face that she once did not dare to approach him.
He made her ashamed of herself. If it's just what it looks like, it's fine, but what's even more cruel is that people who look better than you are more talented than you and work harder than you.
When everyone has a job to take a nap, Su Xiao has almost never made a mistake in his three years at Hanyi. She asked him to draw picture books, and he said that he just drew casually, but he became popular, which indirectly allowed the half-dead Hanyi Books to open up a new sales market and bring the dead back to life.
That's it, he never takes credit for himself. The copyright of the picture book was later returned to him by Guo Shufeng, and he did not ask for it. It may be Guo Shufeng's conscience, or it may be that he wants to retain the possibility of cooperation in the future.
Over the years she has witnessed many people coming and going, Guo Shufeng never thought about a certain employee, he only talked about Su Xiao's goodness.
Su Xiao is different from her, she is like a hedgehog, bringing a burst of thunder in a hurry, he is silent, and uses a solid attitude and achievements to subdue everyone.
He shut himself in his heart and did not leave a window for himself to see what others looked up to him. He didn't know how good he really was in the eyes of others.
Probably because of this, after he took that brave step, although there was a sensation in the office, no one criticized it. He deserves more kindness. Everyone doesn't care if he likes the same apricot or the other apricot, they just know that it's him.
Such a he, even if there is no gender gap, will not belong to her.
She had never tried to love so weakly. He is obviously close in front of him, but he is like a dazzling star far away in the sky.
Let's go, this nearly ten minutes of staring is enough to remember every detail of his face. She put her hands on her knees and slowly stood up. There was no numbness in the legs, but there was a brief blackness in front of me. 2018
She closed her eyes, and as she waited for the darkness to fade, her right hand was unexpectedly grabbed.
She covered her mouth with her left hand so that her frightened heart would jump out of her throat with her screams.
Su Xiao opened his eyes at some point, he looked at her motionlessly, his hand suddenly pulled hard, and she could only sit on the edge of the bed on her knees following his pull.
"What are you doing...... Xia Zhi's face was slightly hot.
"Shouldn't I ask you? Is it weird that I sleep on? You've been watching it for so long. ”
Go! Is he all awake? Did you wake up at the beginning, or did you wake up halfway through? Xia Zhi wanted to roll directly under the bed, she subconsciously scratched a piece of skin on her neck that was not itchy, and found that even her neck was hot.
"I ...... He wants to draw a turtle on your face, and he is just thinking about how to draw a good ......" such a nonsensical excuse, can he believe it?
"So, have you thought about it now?" He leaned closer to her and put her hand on her face, "I have a washing pen in my bag, I can only wash the pen with water, and the others are not easy to wash." ”
She pulled her hand away, turned her face away and said, "You're awake, it's not fun to draw again." ”
Yes, they used to make all kinds of jokes, even if it sounded unreliable, he believed it. But this kind of closeness is full of danger for her now, and she doesn't want it.
She said, "Go back to sleep, and I'll go to sleep too." ”
Before she could stand up, he grabbed her arm again and didn't let her go: "Can you...... Don't leave? Maybe that's a bit too much. ”
Then she turned to look at him carefully, his eyes blank and his face dejected, like a soldier who had just been defeated from the battlefield.
"Nightmare?" She asked.
"Hmm." He replied softly, "Xia Zhi, will you look down on me?" ”
Xie Danyu's slap during the day, he didn't say anything, he endured it silently, and he was actually angry.
"No, it won't." She shook her head and said, "There are some things, from people's habitual thinking, they may feel that you are not doing a good job. But look at it from another angle, you have done your best, and you have done nothing wrong. ”
Moral judgment is not immutable, just before meeting today, she still thought that Su Xiao was really hopeless this time.
Su Xiao sighed: "I hurt her. ”
"It's not you, it's him." She paused, then added, "This has come to such an extent that everyone who is tied to a rope is destined to be harmed, and I think you have all worked hard to minimize the damage." ”
"Nope." Su Xiao lowered his eyes, a little dazed, "I could have done better." ”
"Don't be too yourself, go to bed early."
He still wouldn't let her go. He carefully pulled her into his arms, and she tried to struggle, but only moved for a moment and gave up. There was no way she could refuse him.
"Can I sleep with you in my arms?" He whispered a plea in her ear.
