169, one knife and two cuts?
Xia Zhi walked into the office after eating, and Du Lingzi was lying on Su Xiao's desk partition and talking to him. Su Xiao flipped through a book in his hand, his eyes never took off the page in his hand, and he responded to Du Lingzi's words submissively.
Xia Zhi lowered his head and walked quickly behind Du Lingzi, Su Xiao saw her and immediately stood up: "Xia Zhi!" ”
He left Du Lingzi and followed Xia Solstice to her seat. Xia Zhi hung the headphones around her neck, she was used to listening to songs while editing the script, she held the headphones and waited for him to speak, but he only looked at her in a daze.
"What's wrong?" She had to ask. Last Friday and half a day this morning, she lost a full working day, which was a very big loss for her, and she needed to rush back the work she had left behind, and she didn't have the heart to rub it off.
“…… Well, the editor-in-chief said, let me follow you with the manuscript. ”
"Did I read the book to you?"
"Looked."
"I haven't finished the manuscript yet, I'll give you the first draft before Friday, I'll send you the outline and design requirements, you can take a look at the book cover and table of contents first, and do it in the style of the book I gave you. Show me when you're done. "It's completely businesslike, without a trace of emotion.
However, she didn't deliberately target Su Xiaocai like this, everyone in the company knew that she was vigorous and resolute when she was fully engaged in work, if she didn't usually participate in the dinners organized by some colleagues or the company's outings, showing a completely different style of acting, everyone would treat her as an antique.
But Su Xiao had never seen her like this, and he was a little stunned: "Oh, okay......"
"Then go back and collect the papers." She had put on her headphones and ignored him.
"You don't have to worry about her, she's like this, just wait until you get off work. She is our company's desperate Sanniang, our gold medal editor. Du Lingzi smiled and lowered his voice again, "But you have to be mentally prepared to work with her, she is very strict." ”
No one knew that they had ever been acquainted, and Du Lingzi thought that he was frightened by the summer solstice.
Su Xiao glanced at Du Lingzi, nodded, and returned to his seat in confusion.
Xia Zhi has already sent the document to Su Xiao's QQ. It's still that QQ number.,It's just that it's been re-added now.。 Su Xiao also knew that she had deleted him.
He sent her a message: [Xia Zhi, are you still angry with me? 】
She saw his QQ avatar flashing in the lower right corner of the screen, and her fingers stopped.
[Nope.] She replied.
That's true, but she doesn't want to take the time to explain it right now. She was really surprised to meet him here. It's been two years, and nothing has really happened between them.
He...... I guess I got a girlfriend too, right? I still care if she's angry or not.
She is not the one she only knew two years ago that she only knew how to wronged herself and satisfied others, she was used to living alone, she was becoming more and more self-conscious, and many times, she would take her own happiness as the main criterion when dealing with things.
[I'm sorry about that. I really didn't mean to take advantage of you. After typing these two sentences, he hesitated for a moment and deleted the latter sentence before clicking "send".
Xia Zhi received his "I'm sorry" again. Why does he always like to say "I'm sorry"? It's endless.
Xia Zhi: [I'm really not angry. Doesn't matter. I don't talk during working hours, sorry. You go to work. 】
It would be too inappropriate for him to send her another message. He opened the document she had sent, read it carefully, and then clicked on Ai to get to work.
After half past five, colleagues left the office one after another, and Xia Zhi kicked his legs, pushed the chair back, and stretched his waist backwards.
"It's time to get off work!" Du Lingzi patted her on the shoulder as he walked by. Bookbag netting
"Go ahead, happy date." Xia Zhi knew that she must have asked out a boyfriend.
After a commotion, the office was quiet again, and Su Xiaocai walked over: "Summer solstice ......"
She poured a packet of instant coffee into her cup and was about to fetch water: "You're not leaving?" ”
"What about you? Aren't you off work yet? ”
She walked to the water dispenser in the corner of the house and said, "I'm working overtime, why don't I write for you on Friday?" ”
"You've already had coffee today." He watched her stir the coffee and said, "Drinking too much is not good for your health." ”
She nodded, and instead of walking back to her seat, she leaned back against the partition of another seat and spoke to him, "I know, thank you." ”
Su Xiao took a breath, her lips moved, and she stopped talking.
Xia Zhi lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, and the freshly boiled water made her hiss and blow.
"Slow down." He said.
He stayed here and told her this? She said, "Go away and go back to rest early." ”
"You're working overtime here alone, is your husband okay?"
Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment, she looked up at him, and reacted - he thought she was married. His knowledge of her was two years ago.
She pondered for a moment and said, "I work alone in Nanzhou. ”
She didn't know where he was doing, and there was no need for her to rush to tell him everything.
"You're ...... now. How are you doing? He asked again.
She nodded again, she couldn't have been better now.
"That's good."
The two had nothing to say again, the air was terrifyingly silent, Xia Zhi looked out the window, the sun had not completely sunk in the west, but it had been obscured by the surrounding high-rise buildings, and the sky was darkened.
She stepped forward, put the cup back on her desk, and walked to the door to turn off the fluorescent lights on the other side of the office, leaving the room with only half of the light.
She explained: "Mr. Guo said that we should pay attention to energy conservation when working overtime. Go back. ”
Su Xiao wanted to say "I'll stay with you" several times, but finally didn't say anything, he returned to his seat, slowly picked up his shoulder bag, and glanced at Xia Zhi again before going out, she had already put on her headphones again and was busy.
Xia Zhi knew that he had been watching her, but she didn't want to pay attention to him. Even if she wasn't angry, the quarrel between the two before was enough to embarrass her in retrospect.
- Actually, it can't be considered a quarrel, it's that she keeps yelling.
- "I beg you not to mention my name again, okay?" Do I know you well? I don't want my shadow in your life, I have nothing to do with you! I'm getting married, and I'm leaving Nanzhou soon. I'm not your white moonlight, I can't illuminate your future, I'm a poisonous jellyfish. Don't come to me again! ”
When he appeared in front of her again, every word she had ever said came back to her memory. That's what it means to break off righteousness and cut it off......
She had never said anything so decisive to anyone. Now, how could she have a normal relationship with him as if nothing had happened?
