Life likes to hit you hard one after another. Some people call it "misfortunes never come singly." But no matter what happens, life is life and it goes on.
However, the person she has liked for ten years is gay and the father of a four-year-old child. Cheng Kou really wants to calculate the area of her psychological shadow...
"Two hundred square meters, it's so big!" The voice was full of envy.
Cheng Kou: “…”
What a bad friend I made. Shen Yinran is feeling sad right now!
Cheng Kou led Shen Yinran into the elevator. She couldn't understand how things turned out like this.
Cheng Kou always went to bed before midnight, and that day she had trouble falling asleep because of Su Yan's matter. She was awakened by the ringing of the phone just as she was beginning to fall asleep. Shen Yinran asked her for help on the other end, "Koubao, SOS, lend me some money!"
Cheng Kou was startled awake by her and asked her what happened. It turned out that Shen Yinran went out with her friends until eleven o'clock that day and returned home, only to find that her luggage had been thrown outside the rented house, the landlord's phone was unreachable, and the door lock had been changed. She didn't have enough money and couldn't stay in a hotel. Cheng Kou knew her situation. Shen Yinran's family was average, and she sent a lot of money home every month. In addition, her own expenses in City C were not small, so she had always been a moonlighter.
Cheng Kou got up quickly to put on her clothes, and rummaged through her backpack for a long time. She was so anxious that she forgot to turn on the light and bumped into something in the living room. As she kept making so much noise, Xia Linchen, who hadn't slept to begin with, came over and looked at her worriedly.
Cheng Kou never thought that he thought she was too upset because of Su Yan's incident, so she went "crazy" here in the middle of the night. When she saw Xia Linchen, she felt like she had grabbed a life-saving straw. She ran over and shook his arm, asking, "Xia Linchen, do you have 2,000 yuan in cash?"
She came to him late at night to borrow money, it seemed that she was really ill. Xia Linchen shook his head and sighed, ready to go and get her money. Cheng Kou misunderstood his action, thinking that he had no money, picked up his backpack and ran out.
Xia Linchen quickly grabbed her and asked her, "Why did you run away before you even got the money? Are you in such a hurry to get drunk?"
"..." Cheng Kou felt that her childhood sweetheart must be seriously ill. She was in such a hurry to save people, it didn't look like she was going to get drunk!
Little did she know that in Xia Linchen's eyes, she had no makeup on, her hair was disheveled, and her shirt buttons were unbuttoned...
After finding out the whole story, Xia Linchen put on his coat and went with her to pick someone up.
Shen Yinran dragged her suitcase and the landlord's random bags and sat on the side of the road like a ghost. When Cheng Kou found her, she was singing nervously at the top of her voice.
“Love is like steamed buns. If you can eat as much as you want, there’s nothing to be sad about. No matter how beautiful a foodie is, if you get too fat, you’ll wither. No matter how kind a heart is, if it gets too fat, you’ll get sad…”
Xia Linchen, who followed, turned his head silently: "..."
"Wow, wow, Koubao, you're here. I..." Shen Yinran raised her head. Her smudged eyeliner made her look like a panda. "I'm so hungry!"
Cheng Kou: “…”
Finally they decided to split up. Cheng Kou took Shen Yinran to eat, while Xia Linchen went to a 24-hour convenience store to buy toiletries for her.
Xia Linchen arranged Shen Yinran in another guest room. Cheng Kou saw her lying down and went back to her room. After such a long time, she slept very soundly and forgot about Su Yan temporarily. She had no dreams all night. The next day, she was awakened by the sound of talking. She pushed open the door in a daze and saw Xia Linchen and Shen Yinran chatting enthusiastically. Shen Yinran had a straightforward personality and was the type that was most suitable for being friends. Xia Linchen changed her name from "Miss Shen" last night to "Yin Yin" for acquaintances.
Cheng Kou watched the two people calling each other brothers as if they had met too late, quietly went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth, then sat down at the dining table to eat his breakfast.
Xia Linchen ate a piece of toast and said to Shen Yinran, "Yinyin, it's hard to rent a house around here, so you can stay here. You can also go to get off work with Cheng Kou. I don't live here often, and Cheng Kou is afraid of the dark, so it's good for you to accompany her."
His words were so comprehensive that Shen Yinran couldn't find any excuse to refuse. So she agreed that she would still look for a new house, but before that, she would live here.
Xia Linchen had work to do, so he left in a hurry after breakfast. It was still early, and Shen Yinran and Cheng Kou were washing dishes together. She asked gossipingly, "Koubao, how long have you and Xia Linchen known each other?"
Cheng Kou washed a plate and put it aside to drain. Without even looking up, he replied, "Since I was in my mother's belly."
Shen Yinran understood and said with a mocking look, "No wonder you refused everyone who pursued you in college."
Cheng Kou rolled his eyes at her, "He and I are not in the relationship you think."
Shen Yinran didn't believe it, "Just childhood sweethearts?"
"Yes." Cheng Kou nodded.
"Okay." Shen Yinran curled her lips and quickly changed the subject, "But he seems to be very rich. This house is so big and the location is so good."
"His family is in business." Cheng Kou smiled. "He has been restless since he was a child. He traveled around the world after graduating from high school and became a travel photographer. He is quite famous."
"That's really amazing... By the way, this Yuren Garden should be a property under the Su family. Koubao, didn't you interview Su Yan a few days ago? Is he more handsome in person than in the photo?" Shen Yinran smiled, "Cheng Kou, do you think we are Mrs. Su if we live in a house developed by the Su family? We are all Su Yan's harem, it feels so good just thinking about it!"
Cheng Kou was too lazy to complain about her wild imagination. The Su family started out in real estate. According to Shen Yinran's logic, how many concubines should the Su family have in their harem? Three thousand beauties would definitely not be enough.
"Yin Yin, I forgot to tell you something." Cheng Kou blinked, "The editor-in-chief asked you to team up with me to complete the interview with Su Yan. You can see for yourself whether he is handsome or not."
After saying that, she successfully saw that Shen Yinran's mouth had opened into an O shape. Putting down the last plate in her hand, she patted her petrified friend and walked out with a smile.
The weather changed suddenly, dropping nearly ten degrees overnight. Cheng Kou put on more clothes in time, she wore a beige windbreaker with a unique style and a large lapel.
Su Yan was too busy, so she and Shen Ru scheduled the interview for this afternoon. Calculating the time, she packed her things and prepared to leave for the Twin Towers. As soon as she walked to the lobby on the first floor, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.
Cheng Kou picked up the phone and it was Su Yan. She said hurriedly, "I'm just about to go out."
Su Yan was in a meeting outside and couldn't get back to Su's at the agreed time. The wind was so strong today that it made people frown. He said goodbye to the client, turned around and said to Cheng Kou, "Don't go out, wait for me at the magazine office."
Cheng Kou simply stayed in the lobby of Nanshan to wait for Su Yan. He arrived very quickly, wearing an exquisite suit and even his tie was meticulous. He had a cold and handsome face, and his bright eyes could not hide his fatigue.
He must be working very hard, otherwise someone like Su Yan would not show such fatigue.
Cheng Kou took him to the VIP room and first explained to him, "I'm sorry, there was a big news at Chengnan Hospital, and our photographers are not here. I'm afraid I have to bother you again."
"It's okay, you can contact Shen Ru." Su Yan took a sip of hot tea. He talked too much today and his throat was not feeling well.
Cheng Kou asked questions according to the interview outline, most of which were related to the Su family, and Su Yan answered them one by one.
The VIP room was extremely quiet, and neither of them said anything extra. There was a recorder on the coffee table, and Cheng Kou occasionally added some content on paper with a ballpoint pen. The "rustling" sound when writing was particularly clear in the quiet room, as if a hand was gently touching the heart, again and again, with an lingering itch.
The interview went smoothly. Cheng Kou noticed that Su Yan kept his eyes slightly downcast and his voice was slightly hoarse the whole time. He didn't know if it was because of fatigue, but there was a hint of laziness in Su Yan's every move today.
Cheng Kou silently quickened her pace and finished her questioning as soon as possible. She put away her recorder, sorted out the materials, and put them into her backpack.
It was already past the end of get off work time, and almost all the colleagues from the magazine had left. There were only the two of them in the empty office area. Cheng Kou felt a little embarrassed and offered to take Su Yan downstairs.
The weather outside was even worse, the sky was overcast, and the wind blew up sand, making it impossible to open your eyes. Su Yan walked half a step in front of Cheng Kou, blocking most of the wind and sand for her.
They turned a corner and a strong wind blew, blowing the collar of Cheng Kou's windbreaker upright and straight into her face.
Cheng Kou was unable to dodge and there was a crisp sound.
"… "
When Su Yan glanced over, Cheng Kou felt so embarrassed that he wished he could find a hole to crawl into.
There are actually people who get slapped in the face by clothes!
The two were silent for a while, and it was Su Yan who turned his eyes away first, turned around and walked forward.
Su Yan changed his car today and it was brought here by a driver. He had informed them in advance and the car was parked on the roadside waiting for him.
Su Yan put his hands on the roof of the car and asked calmly, "Going back to Yuren Garden?"
"Yeah." Cheng Kou replied in a low voice.
"I'm not going back to the company either." Su Yan moved his fingers and invited, "Want to come together?"
Cheng Kou followed him into the car, and the two of them returned to the 7th floor of Building A in silence.
Cheng Kou thought that he might have forgotten how embarrassing it was last time here.
"Su Yan." Seeing that he had already taken out the key and was about to open the door, Cheng Kou called him. Thinking of Yi Jin and Shen Yang, she mustered up the courage to ask, "Are you going to the class reunion tomorrow?"
Su Yan nodded and hummed lightly.
Cheng Kou smiled, "See you tomorrow."
Su Yan replied, "See you tomorrow."
Su Yan watched her go in and suddenly didn't want to go home anymore.
Of course he didn't forget.
It turned out to be her, the beautiful sister who gave the little cuttlefish biscuits and the hostess of the newly moved neighbor’s house, were both Cheng Kou.
