Chapter Seventy-Three: Yellowed Photographs

It's ten o'clock in the evening Melbourne time, and Chenxi still hasn't called back.

Su Xiaoran watched Qiqi fall asleep, and finally came to the living room with peace of mind, she stood at the window, looking at the starry night outside the window in a daze.

Downstairs, there is a quiet open space, where Chenxi often parks her car and then leans against the car to look at the window of her house.

The night is used to miss, Su Xiaoran began to miss Chenxi, although he had only been away for a day, although he said that he wanted to trust, but because he didn't answer the phone, Su Xiaoran's rare uneasiness in his heart came out again.

Where is he? With whom? Will you be with Qiao Xiaoyan?

The answer is obviously yes, the two of them are on a business trip together, and their relationship is so close, they will definitely be inseparable. Su Xiaoran didn't dare to close her eyes, as soon as she closed her eyes, she would see the picture of Chenxi and Qiao Xiaoyan walking side by side in a foreign country.

Forget it, don't think about it!

Su Xiaoran pulled up the curtains, planning to work overtime while she couldn't sleep, she still had a lot of documents that had not been translated!

The method of diverting attention still worked, and after putting herself into work, Su Xiaoran actually forgot about Chenxi's existence for a while, and when she came back to her senses again, she found that it was already one o'clock in the morning.

Chenxi still didn't call back, Su Xiaoran walked back and forth in the house several times, several times, she wanted to call Chenxi again, but reason prevailed over emotion, she knew that she couldn't call.

A hard night.

When he went to work the next day, Su Xiaoran received roses from Ji Ren again. Su Xiaoran took out the card, and Ji Ren's handwriting was neat and generous:

I remember you used to say that if we broke up one day, I would definitely chase you back. I'm sorry, I broke my promise, I shouldn't have left in a bad mood, Su Xiaoran, give me another chance, Ji Ren, who loves you.

Su Xiaoran tore up the card, threw it into the trash, and got up again to throw the flowers out.

Su Xiaoran specially came to the front desk and told them that if there were flowers sent in the future, they would refuse to accept them directly.

After dealing with these things, Su Xiaoran returned to his seat and began to devote himself to the day's work.

Chenxi didn't call back, which made Su Xiaoran uneasy, so that she made a mistake during the meeting, but fortunately it was just a small mistake and was named and criticized.

After the meeting ended, Su Xiaoran came to the pantry with the information, and she still wanted to call Chenxi.

After deciding, she plucked up the courage to call Chenxi's phone, and this time it was directly turned off.

Su Xiaoran's heart was completely cold, and after a day and a night, Chenxi not only didn't give himself an explanation, but also lost contact out of thin air.

"Where to eat at noon? Is sushi good? ”

"No, I'm going to lose weight."

With a burst of talking, Lia and Geo walked in from the door, and when they saw Su Xiaoran, they both smiled disdainfully.

"What are you doing here during working hours? Don't forget what Vice President Qiao ordered, she will have to check it when she comes back next week. ”

Lia's eyes were sharp and she saw the phone in Su Xiaoran's hand.

"Geo, this person still wants to call to check the post during work hours, and he really thinks of himself as a real girlfriend."

The two pursed their lips and laughed, Su Xiaoran put away her mobile phone, picked up the information, and said, "Even if it's a fake girlfriend, it's better than having no chance at all." ”

"You? Su Xiaoran, are you sarcastic that I don't have a chance? ”

Lia was a violent temper and was quickly ignited, Su Xiaoran didn't want to pay attention to her, and was about to walk out with the information, but Geo, who was blocking the door, suddenly slipped the water glass in his hand and spilled half a glass of water on the information.

The materials are all wet.

Su Xiaoran raised his head: "What are you doing?" ”

"What? I'm careless, I'm sorry, Xiao Ran, your information is all wet, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Geo kept apologizing, and Lia stood by and watched the excitement.

Su Xiaoran hurriedly took out a tissue to wipe the information, and said, "I know you did it on purpose, but it's pointless." If you think that hurting me will make up for the unhappiness you don't get, then you are wrong, because I don't mind at all. ”

Ignoring their gazes, Su Xiaoran walked out of the pantry with his head held high.

"Xiao Ran? What happened to you? ”

Su Xiaoran stopped and saw Senior Li, who had been on a business trip together, looking at him in surprise.

"It's okay, I accidentally got it."

Su Xiaoran barely squeezed out a smile, Senior Li walked up to her, looked at the soaked information, frowned, and said, "Those two people did it again, right?" ”

"It's okay, I'll just go back and reorganize."

"You're just so good at talking. It stands to reason that you shouldn't be afraid of them, you are now Manager Chen's girlfriend, why should you be afraid of the little secretary? ”

Senior Li felt the same and was very uneven. Su Xiaoran just wanted to calm things down, she smiled lightly, and only said: "It's not easy for everyone, thank you for your concern." I'm going to get busy first. ”

"Su Xiaoran, what did Senior Li say when he stopped you just now?"

Su Xiaoran had just escaped from a gossip and fell into May's gossip circle again.

"Look, I'll have to rearrange it again."

Su Xiaoran raised the soaked information to May, and May was very surprised: "Who got it?" That's crazy, isn't it? ”

"It's crazy, you're older than me in the company, can you tell me what Lia is all about?"

"You mean Lia and Geo? They joined the company a year earlier than you, but I heard that they all have someone behind them, otherwise you look at Lia's work, how can she be a world famous brand. ”

"That's right."

Su Xiaoran has always felt that Lia's style of acting is not like something that a small secretary dares to do, maybe she really has the company's senior management behind her!

Forget it, bear with the calm for a while.

Su Xiaoran had to think that she was unlucky to reorganize the information, and after an afternoon passed, not only did she not make progress in her work, but she had to work backwards.

finally managed to get off work, Su Xiaoran was finally tired, she persuaded herself to call Chenxi again, but the phone was still turned off.

Su Xiaoran packed up her things and planned to go to Chenxi's house to have a look.

Opening the door of Chenxi's house, a fragrant smell hit, it was the fragrance of osmanthus that Chenxi often had, in the past, Su Xiaoran always felt that it was very strange for a boy to have the fragrance of flowers, but now, she actually missed such a smell.

Clean and tidy, as if Chenxi is still there. Su Xiaoran opened the bedroom door and saw the neatly folded quilt on the bed in Chenxi.

Su Xiaoran was lying on the bed, looking at the white ceiling silently, since when did she make such a ghost?

She finally admitted that she missed him, and when he was there, she didn't imagine what it would be like to be absent, but when he was really gone, she found that the air was full of his shadow and smell.

Why not give yourself a call? Even if it's just to say goodbye!

After thinking about it for a while, Su Xiaoran got up, she knew that the study that Chen Xi often went to when she was at home was the study, and she was going to the study to find his shadow.

A room full of books.

Chenxi is a quiet but studious person, which makes Su Xiaoran ashamed. Her slender fingertips ran over the books on his bookcase, each one bearing traces of him.

Su Xiaoran sat at the desk, imagining that Chenxi would sit here late every night and stay up late to work, she followed the way he worked, holding her cheeks and thinking.

The documents on the desktop were neatly placed, Su Xiaoran opened the drawer, wanting to find a pen to leave a message for Chenxi, and the moment the drawer was opened, a yellowed photo came into view.

Su Xiaoran picked up the photo, there were three people on it, Chen Xi was standing in the middle, wearing a white jersey and smiling brightly.

This photo looks like it has been a long time, and Chenxi in the photo looks about fourteen or fifteen years old, with sharp edges and corners, and his black eyes reveal childishness and sunshine.

It turned out that this was the teenage Chenxi, Su Xiaoran's fingertips crossed Chenxi's face, as if he was greeting the original teenager.

This should be Chenxi's parents, right? Looks suave and should be an intellectual. Su Xiaoran didn't understand, why was he so unhappy when his father mentioned Chenxi's parents that night?

Hua Yan said that Chenxi's parents live abroad and rarely come back, is this true?

I don't know, Chenxi is like a mystery, and Su Xiaoran needs to open it slowly.

Su Xiaoran put the photo back, then closed the drawer and exited the study.

When Su Xiaoran got home, Qiqi was watching TV, and Qiqi's state looked much better than yesterday.

"Are you working overtime again?"

Qiqi turned his head and put a mask on his face.

Su Xiaoran shook his head: "I'm going to Chenxi's house." ”

"It's only been a day, and you've started thinking about him?" Qiqi peeled off the mask and prepared gossip.

"It's not that I'm thinking, it's worrying. Qiqi, did you say that Chenxi encountered something abroad? His phone was turned off. ”

"You mean, he went on a business trip with a hot-bodied female colleague and then didn't contact you for a day?"

Qiqi felt that this matter should not be underestimated, and she got up from the sofa: "Su Xiaoran, do you know your family Chenxi?" How do I think you don't know anything about him? ”

"I don't know anything, I haven't known Qiao Xiaoyan yet."

"Su Xiaoran, you shouldn't be jealous, right?" Qiqi looked at Su Xiaoran as if he had discovered a new world, until he was embarrassed to look at her.

"I thought that you would only be restless for one Ji Ren in your life."

"Speaking of Jiren, he sent me flowers again today."

Su Xiaoran suddenly felt that she had a lot of troubles. Qiqi leaned his head over: "But seriously, you really won't be tempted?" The two of you used to love each other so much, and I don't think Kiin loves Han Xiya at all. ”

"Heartbeat? Should I be tempted? ”

Su Xiaoran smiled bitterly, she leaned on Qiqi's arms, quietly staring at the dark night.

"There is already an insurmountable gap between me and Jiren, he has a wife and children, and I can't be moved at all."

"Yes, Su Xiaoran, how do I think your love road is so bumpy, I hope that Chenxi can treat you better, otherwise I won't let him go."

Qiqi held his cheeks and said seriously.

"By the way, speaking of Chenxi, can you do me a favor?" Su Xiaoran got up and was very serious.
