Chapter 52: Follow Me
Su Xiaoran remembered Chenxi's indifferent expression in the morning, and shook her head: "I think you misunderstood, we are not together." β
"Not together?" A trace of surprise flashed in Qiao Xiaoyan's eyes, and at the end, she regained her composure: "How is this possible?" Xiaoran, why don't you admit it? β
"I, admit it?" Su Xiaoran couldn't cry or laugh, what did she have to admit? Admit that she was entangled by Chenxi again and again, let him succeed at the moment of weak consciousness, and was abandoned by him again in the blink of an eye?
"Chenxi said it himself, you are together, that's why Hua Yan fought with him."
What the?
Su Xiaoran's heart was really not peaceful enough to be accepted with so much unexpected news in such a short period of time. Qiao Xiaoyan still looked at her in disbelief, but this time, there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.
"Let's not talk about you and Chenxi, let's talk about Xiaomeng, do you know that I talked to Chenxi before you were together?"
"I don't know."
"To be honest, when I saw you for the first time, I was shocked because you and Xiaomeng look so similar. Your every move is simply the embodiment of Xiaomeng, so I doubted, I asked Chenxi, asked him if he liked you because of this, and asked if he regarded you as a little dream. He was silent. β
Qiao Xiaoyan stopped at the most important moment, and Su Xiaoran stared at her blankly, the expression on her face changed from surprise at the beginning to embarrassment.
It's really embarrassing.
Turns out she's just a replacement? It turns out that Chenxi is grinding her ears and temples for such a reason?
Qiao Xiaoyan didn't say anything, Su Xiaoran quickly retreated, she hid in the bathroom like a deserter, as soon as she closed her eyes, everything that happened on the sofa that day was vividly reproduced in front of her eyes.
It turns out that people can still be so entangled with people they don't love?
Hehe, Su Xiaoran, Su Xiaoran, when will you be able to grow snacks? Stop being so self-righteous, okay?
Su Xiaoran turned on the faucet and splashed cold water on her hot face, trying to wash away the embarrassment that made her unable to adapt.
When she returned to her seat, Su Xiaoran's spirit was still in a trance, she opened the document, but she didn't turn out a line for a long time.
There are constantly people coming in and out of Chenxi's office, and through the transparent glass, Su Xiaoran can see Chenxi's appearance of burying his head in carefully reviewing documents.
However, she didn't dare to look at it, she didn't dare to look at it more, that was the bottom line of her pride.
"Xiaoran, let's go eat sashimi together after work in the evening, shall we? I know there's a new delicious restaurant nearby, so I'm going to invite you? May, a foodie, was thinking about dinner again, and while Su Xiaoran sighed at her appetite, she also deeply felt the tactfulness and helplessness of people in the workplace.
She's just doing May a favor, she's giving gifts and treats, as if everything you do for someone else is going to be rewarded, otherwise you're too naΓ―ve or they're not sophisticated enough.
"No thanks, I have something to do in the evening." Su Xiaoran didn't want the relationship between her and May to become so cheap.
"Something? You're not secretly in a relationship behind my back, are you? β
"Thinking too much, how can I have time to fall in love?" Su Xiaoran said and looked at Chenxi's office with his spare eyes, he barely moved.
When she got off work, in order not to be embarrassed to look at Chenxi, Su Xiaoran ran away as soon as possible, she ran out of the company quickly, and then just caught the bus and rushed to the hospital to visit Teacher Hou.
Teacher Hou's condition was stable, Su Xiaoran secretly stuffed the living expenses to Xiaofang, and then was busy massaging Teacher Hou.
Looking at Su Xiaoran's hard work, Teacher Hou wet his eyes: "You girl, don't work so hard, I will take care of myself!" β
"I do. What did you eat for the night? β
"Xiaofang bought me braised pork."
"Buy? Didn't she cook for you? Su Xiaoran was a little angry.
Teacher Hou hurriedly explained: "It's too far away from home, and it's really hard for Xiaofang to run back and forth like this. Besides, I'm afraid of disturbing Teacher Fang's rest. β
Su Xiaoran didn't say anything more, she wasn't afraid of Xiaofang's hard work, because she had already given her enough money, this price was high in the nanny industry, and in special periods, it was really nothing to work harder.
However, if it disturbs Teacher Fang's rest, it will not be good. Teacher Fang is very old, so she definitely can't let her old man worry about it!
"Kiren came to see me today."
Teacher Hou's words made the fruit knife in Su Xiaoran's hand tremble, and she pretended to be calm: "Why is he here." β
"I bought a big bouquet of flowers, you see, on the bedside table, and brought me a big basket of fruit."
Su Xiaoran looked at the cabinet at the head of the bed, and sure enough, there were delicate flowers on it, and she looked at the fruit in her hand again, it was still the one she took from the fruit basket just now.
"Oh."
Su Xiaoran continued to peel the fruit.
"Don't you want to know what he said?" Teacher Hou asked tentatively.
"It doesn't matter." Su Xiaoran handed the peeled fruit to Teacher Hou and looked at her with a smile.
"You stupid boy, you love to lie. Actually, it's nothing, Ji Ren just asked me if you have a boyfriend, and if you're doing well. β
"What do you say?" Su Xiaoran was afraid that Teacher Hou would tell Chenxi.
"What else can I say, tell the truth, say you didn't, I want to see how he regrets it!" The wrinkled face also has a cute look of vindictiveness.
Su Xiaoran chuckled: "Okay, what do you regret or not regret?" He is already married, ready to be a father again, it is too late for happiness, what is there to regret? β
"But if he knew you were for him"
"Don't say any more, I don't want to talk about it anymore." Seeing Su Xiaoran's unhappy appearance, Teacher Hou had no choice but to give up, but he was really uncomfortable in his heart.
When I went back, it was already the last train, Su Xiaoran got off the bus and slowly walked along the street on the way home.
When he came to the gate of the community, Su Xiaoran stopped:
Hua Yan stood there, and at a glance she knew that she was waiting for her.
"Why are you here?" Su Xiaoran remembered the fight between Huayan and Chenxi, and was a little reluctant.
"Xiaoran, I have something to ask you."
"Don't come here, just stand there and talk." Su Xiaoran took a defensive posture, and Hua Yan stopped: "You are still so resistant to being with me." β
"It's not resistance, it's that it's not necessary at all."
"Did you say this to Chenxi?"
Su Xiaoran was asked, she didn't say anything else to Chenxi except for not wanting to.
Seeing that she was silent, Hua Yan sneered, and then smiled bitterly: "Xiaoran, are you stupid?" Chenxi, he doesn't love you at all, he just treats you as my sister's shadow! β
"It doesn't matter if he loves me or not, you don't have to worry about it."
"Is that so? You really don't mind if he loves you or not? β
"Su Xiaoran! Wake up, you and Chenxi have no future. β
"Huayan, I didn't plan to be with Chenxi at all, why are you so excited?"
Faced with Su Xiaoran's doubts, Hua Yan was stunned for a long time, and then said in surprise: "Is it true?" You're not with him? Then why did he say the two of you were already together? β
"Who gave him the confidence to privately announce our relationship? Could it be that the relationship between us is up to him alone? If he wants it, he wants it, and if he doesn't want it, he doesn't want it? Huayan, you go back and tell Chenxi that I, Su Xiaoran, will never be with him, not now, and not in the future. So, please don't question me again for such boring things in the future, I just want to be alone and quiet, okay? β
Hua Yan didn't expect Su Xiaoran to be so angry, he raised his hand: "Okay, good, it's me who is wrong, I questioned you privately without asking clearly, Xiaoran, it's good that you're not together, although Chenxi is my good friend, I don't allow him to bully you, because"
"Go back!"
Su Xiaoran turned around, Hua Yan swallowed back the unfinished words, he nodded, his expression even more lonely.
After watching Hua Yan's car leave, Su Xiaoran almost sat down in place: she was really tired, hot and cold were not what she was good at, and she didn't want anyone to control her emotions.
For several days in a row, Su Xiaoran deliberately bypassed Chenxi, and when she had a meeting, she chose to sit at the back, did not speak, and kept burying her head in notes, but her heart didn't know where it had drifted.
Several times, when they met on the road, Chenxi would try to talk to her, but she was not willing to give him a chance at all. For her, the greatest kindness to herself is to be completely wiped out.
"Wait for me after work today."
Su Xiaoran received a text message from Chenxi when she was busy, she pretended not to see it and did not reply.
When she was about to get off work, Su Xiaoran had already packed her things, and May, who had always been the first to run away, suspected her: "It's a date again, running so fast every day, and not being listless at work, it must be in love, don't lie to me." β
"You say yes, yes."
Su Xiaoran was surprised to find that the best way to block other people's mouths is to admit it, admit everything, and say what is what.
May really didn't have anything to say, and when it was time to get off work, the two of them ran out of the company gate.
Call!
Su Xiaoran breathed in the fresh air and looked up at the blue sky, only then did she really feel that she was alive. The environment at work is too oppressive and overwhelming.
"Su Xiaoran!"
There was a shout behind him, and there was no need to look back, Su Xiaoran also knew that it was Chenxi's voice.
I didn't look back, I quickened my pace and walked forward.
"Stop!" The leg length is different, Chen Xi quickly caught up and grabbed her hand.
"You let go!"
At the moment when the hands of the two people intertwined with each other, Su Xiaoran's heart was angry for no reason, she turned around and stared at Chenxi angrily like a declaration of war.
Black eyes, the voice of the deep sea.
His eyes can always make people quickly forget the environment and mood they are in.
"Come with me."
Chen Xi didn't even want to say a word, and directly pulled her hand and got into the car.
