Xia Zhi was shocked, she looked back at Su Xiao, his cold face seemed to be a different person. She had never seen him like this.

She stopped hanging the photo, took it in her hand and looked at it again, trying to see some clues from the photo.

But Su Xiao said, "Put it down." ”

The imperative tone is non-negotiable.

"Oh." Xia Zhi depressedly put the photo back in place. When he straightened up to look at him again, he was back to his original form.

"Come and have some tea." This time the tone was much softer.

She sat down in front of him, picked up the glass, the tea was still warm, and she took a sip to her lips.

He stood up and took the cup from her: "It's cold, I'll change it for you." ”

He put the cup back on the tray, lifted it up and walked to the hallway, pouring the cold tea into the kitchen sink. The boiling water was hot in the thermos, but he didn't add it right away.

He propped his hands on the countertop and was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, I just spoke in a bad tone." ”

Xia Solstice walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window and looked at the road in the distance through his own reflection on the windowglass.

The two of them stood at opposite ends of the room, and his voice was not loud, but she could still hear it, and she said, "I have a lot of trouble and I haven't asked you to mess with your things." ”

"Are you angry?"

"How is that possible?"

"You're thinking, I took the initiative to get close to you, I had to recognize you as a sister, but I wouldn't tell you anything, you think I don't value you as much as I appear."

"Sort of." More than once he had guessed what was in her mind, and sometimes she even wondered if he knew some kind of magical mind-reading.

She did think so, and was secretly annoyed by it. Although he knows that he has no reason to be annoyed.

Su Xiao said: "I don't know where to start. I don't have a very good relationship with my mom. ”

"I can see it." Just don't understand. Most of Xia Zhi's friends have parents who make her envious, and even when she heard Su Xiao talk about his mother buying him a house, she was a little envious.

Of course, she doesn't need Xia Jianfeng and He Yan to give her material help, as long as she respects her as an individual.

"My mom wants me to go back to Peng Chau, I don't want to go back. So she came and bought the house. She wanted to write my name on the title deed, and I didn't agree. We had a fight. Su Xiao paused for a moment before saying, "I haven't tried to quarrel with her like this." I know it's hard for her to carry me. ”

"Fighting. It's a bit like me. Xia Zhi sighed at the windowpane, and then drew three arcs arranged in an inverted triangle on the glass, two bent downwards and one up, forming a simple smiley face.

She wiped away her smiling face again, leaned back against the window and said to him: "There is a term in the literary category called 'patricide complex', which believes that everyone must experience a patricide in the process of growing up, that is, a rebellion against the authority of the elders, and establish their own personality in the process of resistance.

So when we feel that we have the ability to be independent, we will be desperate to oppose all the arrangements of our parents. Rebellion purely for the sake of rebellion. It doesn't have to be intellectual. ”

He laughed: "It's too good for you." Always reason with me. ”

"If you don't call me sister, I won't reason with you. You called, I still have to say that reason. However, no matter how much I understand, I will still make the mistakes I should make, and I will not admit my mistakes after I have made them. She paused and said, "Of course, sometimes it's true because you're not wrong. "Look at the book house

"Are you the same?" He turned sideways to her, and the two of them were talking five or six meters apart.

"I'm guessing everybody is more or less like that. There's no need to be upset about this, but you can keep your head down when the time is right. After all, this is a house of more than 700,000 people, children, if my dad gives me such a house, I can't be angry. She said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Okay, don't be busy, I'm leaving." She picked up her backpack that had been thrown on top of a pile of boxes and made her way to the entrance.

"That's leaving?" He watched as she walked over.

"It's late." She smiled.

"I'll send you back."

She had already walked to the door and waved her hand, "You stand still. Just a few steps, I'll go back by myself. ”

She opened the door, and the two of them stood by the door.

Su Xiao said: "Weekend...... Do you still accompany me to see the furniture? I don't have any friends anymore. ”

"Where do you have no friends, it's that you don't want to make friends." In fact, he is the kind of person who makes friends easily, always gives people a warm feeling, and stands out in the crowd, but when he interacts with people in private, he is always shy and rejects people thousands of miles away, which is really strange.

“…… Possibly. ”

She put her palms together and closed her fingers to say "goodbye", neither agreeing to his weekend offer nor refusing.

Perhaps he was not as cheerful, sunny and shy as she had imagined, and the long conversation of this night made her touch his gloom. There's nothing she can do about it.

She liked the kind of uninhibited when she was with him, and the unintentional thoughtfulness he showed subconsciously, which made her extremely useful, but she didn't want to be his dependence.

Her contradictions may still stem from selfishness. I want to be valued, but I don't want to be the only friend he says.

It would probably be better with a proper withdrawal, he should have more friends. The kind like her who can be reassured.

In the office, Su Xiao is still very easy to get attention, and female colleagues like to tease him when they have nothing to do. Because he is not public, he is very humble to his seniors, and his male colleagues don't hate him.

There is nothing to say about his work attitude and business ability, at least in the eyes of her company's notoriously fastidious editor-in-charge, she can't find anything wrong with him. Sometimes, even if she didn't ask for a change, he would look unpleasant to his own eyes, and he would arrange an extra version for her to choose.

After the first draft comes out, it's time for proofreading and typesetting. Xia Zhi pulled the chair to Su Xiao's seat, and while following the plates, he printed out and proofread each edition in a row, which made the work efficiency relatively high.

Lunch is with everyone to go together, there are more restaurants in the square, there is no fixed place to go, to the downstairs, like to go to a certain store on the group of three or five.

Su Xiao followed after the summer solstice, and she didn't rush him, but from time to time she took him to dinner with different colleagues under the pretext of changing the taste.

After work, because he was on the same road, he often waited for her to walk with him.

In Du Lingzi's eyes, this is inevitably a bit of a double in pair.

When I came back from the lunch break, while it was not yet time to go to work, everyone was chatting in the office, Du Lingzi leaned on the partition of her desk and asked quietly, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Her eyes glanced at Su Xiao's seat.
