Chapter Ninety-One: Photographs in the Drawer
In the blink of an eye, another two days passed, Chenxi never called again, and Su Xiaoran lost the courage to take the initiative to call.
She thought that if he really missed her, he would definitely take the initiative to contact her.
The company's work still has to continue, Su Xiaoran just found another nanny for Mr. Hou, and after prepaying the salary to the new nanny, the balance in Su Xiaoran's bank card has become a single digit.
Qiqi couldn't bear Su Xiaoran's hardship, and proposed that she pay for Teacher Hou's living expenses, but Su Xiaoran refused, Teacher Hou was injured because of her, and Qiqi had nothing to do with it, for this matter, Qiqi also had a big fight with Su Xiaoran, Su Xiaoran understood that Qiqi was for her good, so even if she quarreled, she was not sad.
On this day, Su Xiaoran worked overtime in the company as usual, the company recently launched a new project, which urgently needs to be completed urgently, so those who work overtime will have overtime pay, and Su Xiaoran took the initiative to sign up for overtime.
There are not many people working overtime in the department, and there are three people in total with Su Xiaoran. One of them is Senior Li, who has traveled together on a business trip before and takes good care of Su Xiaoran, and the other is Lia. In fact, with Lia's conditions, she didn't have to work overtime at all, but because Su Xiaoran was there, she didn't hesitate to stay.
"Su Xiaoran, it's been almost two weeks since Manager Chen left, right? Why, he didn't say when he would be back? I guess he's married to my cousin over there. ”
Su Xiaoran was correcting the translation results to the computer, Lia leaned against her desk at some point, there was a strong smell of perfume in the air, Su Xiaoran covered her nose:
"Lia, can you please stay away from me? I'm allergic to inferior perfumes. ”
"Su Xiaoran, are you still hard-mouthed?" Lia didn't get angry, but chuckled, rolled her eyes and looked at Su Xiaoran: "Just by you, this poor and sour look, can Manager Chen take a fancy to you?" Su Xiaoran, don't forget, the person who gets along with Manager Chen day and night is my cousin, they are a couple, you are an impostor at best! ”
"Okay, now the impostor asks you to stay away from me, okay? The smell of perfume on your body makes it impossible for me to concentrate on my work, and if something goes wrong at that time, I can only tell Manager Wang that I can't work because of you. ”
"Su Xiaoran! I remember you! ”
Lia left with a huff and a clatter in her high heels, and as soon as Lia opened, Senior Li hurriedly came up: "Xiaoran, don't be impulsive, Lia is a person with a background." ”
"She was the one who messed with me first." Su Xiaoran pretended to be calm, but felt that the bright light of the computer was extremely dazzling.
"Alas, Xiaoran, you are still too rash, I will definitely embarrass you in the future after watching this Lia." Senior Li sighed and left, and Su Xiaoran sat alone in front of the computer, confused.
The work that could be completed in three hours was obviously completed by Su Xiaoran until eleven o'clock in the evening. She turned off her computer and looked around: Lia and Li had long since left.
Su Xiaoran stood up, and then his gaze suddenly stayed in Chenxi's office.
It was pitch black, and the door had been closed for a long time, so long that Su Xiaoran couldn't remember what it felt like when Chenxi was there.
She had an urge to go in and take a look. Su Xiaoran looked around, and after confirming that there was no one, she moved to the door of Chenxi's office and gently pushed the door in.
Close the door and turn on the light.
Call!
The room was neat and tidy, exactly the same as when Chen Xi left. Su Xiaoran walked to the place where Chenxi usually sits, sat down, and looked out like Chenxi.
At this look, she found that from this angle, Chenxi's gaze happened to fall on her position. In other words, as long as Chenxi raised his head when he went to work, the first thing he saw was Su Xiaoran.
There was an inexplicable warmth, Su Xiaoran remembered that the desk was not placed in this position when Miss Wang was still there, and it was only after Chenxi came that he asked his assistant to change the position. And Su Xiaoran never noticed this.
Always like to do a lot of things that others don't know.
Su Xiaoran held her chin, a little in a trance.
After a moment of silence, she opened the drawer, revealing a photograph in front of her.
Yellowed corners, white skirt, innocent smile, high ponytail, this person Su Xiaoran is very familiar, she has the same face as herself, but she is not the same person.
Chenxi still keeps a photo of Xiaomeng. Su Xiaoran was surprised that she was not angry because of this, she even picked up a tissue to wipe the dust on it, and then put the photo back in place with her hand.
Suddenly, Su Xiaoran's gaze stayed on a small ID photo in the innermost position of the drawer. It was clearly a photo of her, Su Xiaoran took it out and took a look, and she still looked like she was still a student in the photo, which should have been taken when she had just graduated from college.
However, how could Chenxi have this photo?
Su Xiaoran looked at the back of the photo again, there were traces of tearing on it, which piece of paper should it be torn from.
Could it be...... Resume?
Su Xiaoran thought about it, and could only think that she had pasted a photo on her resume, could it be that Chen Xi tore the photo off her resume?
It's crazy, it's not Chenxi at all.
Despite this, Su Xiaoran still felt a little happy in her heart, which at least proved that Chenxi cared about her.
After putting the photo back, Su Xiaoran quickly turned off the lights in the department, and then hurriedly walked out of the company.
It's so late, I shouldn't be able to catch the last bus, I just quarreled with Qiqi, and I can't call Qiqi to pick it up, Su Xiaoran took out her mobile phone and prepared to call a Didi taxi back.
As soon as he opened the Alipay page, a bright light came from the front, and Su Xiaoran looked over while covering his forehead with his hand, but he could only vaguely see a gray car.
The car stopped, and a person walked out of the car, Su Xiaoran was a little similar, and it was a big night, so I couldn't see who the other party was, but it was definitely a man, because he was very tall.
Kihito?
When there was a distance of one meter between the two, Su Xiaoran finally saw clearly that the so-called 'other party' was Ji Ren.
Ji Ren was wearing a light casual suit, and walked towards Su Xiaoran with a determined gaze: "I heard Qiqi say that you are working overtime, and I want to come and see you." ”
"No, I don't."
Su Xiaoran left quickly, but was pulled back by Ji Ren when he had just walked a few steps: "Don't hide from me, I'm not a monster, and I didn't want to hurt you, Su Xiaoran." ”
Su Xiaoran stood still, but her gaze stayed at her feet.
"Teacher Hou told me everything, you don't have to carry it alone, this is my responsibility, and it should be borne by me."
"How do you want to bear it."
"Su Xiaoran, I know that you haven't had a good life for more than a year, even if it's my fault, please give me a chance to make amends, okay? Teacher Hou, I will take care of you, you live your life, as long as you can be happy, this is more important than anything else. ”
Ji Ren's voice was very sincere, and Su Xiaoran knew that he was serious.
However, she would not agree to him.
"Ji Ren, your appearance and kindness Teacher Hou may not accept it, so please accept your compassion. If you really want it for my good, please live a good life with Thea in the future, and we won't have any more contacts. ”
"Can't you be friends?"
"Nope." Su Xiaoran directly crossed Ji Ren and left, and behind him, Ji Ren shouted unwillingly.
Su Xiaoran, one day you will know that I will always be the one who loves you the most!
Hehe.
Of course, Su Xiaoran didn't look back, with the moonlight and stars as her company, she didn't need to make any emotional reaction to this sentence.
Almost fled, he got into the car, and then ordered the driver to leave as fast as he could.
She is not afraid of Ji Ren, but afraid of looking back at the relationship that she can't go back to.
The four years with Ji Ren were the most white and flawless four years in Su Xiaoran's life. At that time, she had dreams, Jiren, and Qiqi, as if she had the whole world.
She doesn't need to face the desolation and helplessness of this world, if it weren't for Ji Ren's departure, then Su Xiaoran would probably never know: people, in fact, only live for themselves all their lives.
Su Xiaoran called Qiqi, of course she wanted to ask Qiqi why she told Ji Ren so many things, but before Su Xiaoran could open her mouth, Qiqi sued first.
Qiqi said that it was Ji Ren who had been blocking her door and forcing her to question.
And Qiqi also said, she said that she had long been tired of seeing Su Xiaoran carrying so many things alone, why could Ji Ren withdraw from the past so quickly and get married, but Su Xiaoran had to face everything alone?
Su Xiaoran could only laugh silently, many things, what others say, can only be other people's opinions.
It's like Qiqi cares about Su Xiaoran so much, but she doesn't necessarily know what is most important to Su Xiaoran.
It's so hard!
"Qiqi, it's time for you to find a good person to take care of you." This is Su Xiaoran's true words, after breaking up with Wan Lei, Qiqi often wanders between major bars and never stops.
Su Xiaoran guessed that Qiqi must not have come out of that incident, but Qiqi didn't say anything, and she remained silent.
Back home, Su Xiaoran quickly turned on the computer, she was expecting Hua Yan to send her some photos, since Hua Yan sent her a photo of Chenxi at the meeting that night, Su Xiaoran had a small expectation in her heart, she looked forward to having such a photo every day, so that she could at least understand that he existed, okay.
Ding dong.
Sure enough, it was a message from Hua Yan, Su Xiaoran couldn't wait to open the dialog box, but only saw an emoji.
"Is it going well today?" Su Xiaoran wrote and deleted, and finally only sent these few words.
"It's okay, we may have to postpone the trip back, Xiaoran, don't worry."
Su Xiaoran held her chin and pondered for a long time before she said, "Can I see Chenxi?" ”
