After Xu Youyuan sent the WeChat message, she realized that it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night. She was so tired today, and even scooped up water for a long time. Shi Yue should be very tired and shouldn't disturb her.
Apologize to her again tomorrow.
Xu Youyuan has a small amount of money in her hand, and plans to buy a water heater for herself first. In this weather, people will freeze to death without a water heater.
Nowadays, all major online business platforms have 24-hour delivery, and first- and second-tier cities still have one-hour speed delivery services. Even if you place an order for a water heater at 3 o'clock in the night, Xu Youyuan can enjoy a hot bath before dawn.
It is estimated that when I tell today's children that the average speed of online shopping in the past was two to three days to receive express delivery, they must not believe that who would spend such a long time waiting for a package. And their generation really came this way, not to mention that they didn't even shop online before.
It cost 2500RMB to buy a water heater. Xu Youyuan chose the most cost-effective and best after-sale brands among all the brands.
The water heater was not lost before, and she also pressed a month's rent with the landlord. If she's going to leave here one day, she'll take the new water heater with her. She plans to continue repairing this sparkling machine, and then go to the second-hand market to buy a thermostat and come back tomorrow.
After taking a hot shower, I also washed Ah Shuang, who had been dirty for a long time.
Ah Shuang was very obedient when she was taking a bath since she was a child. In the past, she went to the bathtub to lie down and waited for the bather Xu Youyuan to massage her. Now that I don't have a bathtub, I can still sit honestly, let it raise its claws, and let it close its mouth.
When Xu Youyuan washed away the bubbles for it, she saw that her honest and dignified figure was in sharp contrast with the dilapidated tiles behind her. She was a down-and-out young master.
Xu Youyuan used a soft bath towel to dry it, blow-dry its hair, patted it and said, "Go! Pick a can for you!"
One person and one dog kennel are on the small sofa, Xu Youyuan is holding the computer to choose canned food for Ah Shuang, Ah Shuang leans against her and snores, and rolls her eyes until she sleeps.
Xu Youyuan bought the can and pulled the thick blanket over, not wanting to disturb Ah Shuang's sweet dreams, so she slept with it on the sofa.
The house in Juheyuan is broken, the heating is still working, and it is not too cold to sleep in the living room all night. It is estimated that the living room and the bedroom are about the same size.
Xu Youyuan slept until dawn and was woken up by the hungry Ah Shuang.
Xu Youyuan looked at her mobile phone, a bunch of app pushes, and a delivery reminder that the canned dog food had been placed in the courier cabinet on the floor aisle, waiting for her to pick it up.
In a pile of junk messages, I turned to the WeChat reply from Shiyue:
"It's so good all of a sudden, invite me to dinner. Okay, I won't eat brunch and lunch, I'll wait for your dinner. Where will I see you in the evening?"
Shi Yue's voice rose all the way, and it sounded very happy, which made Xu Youyuan feel better, and couldn't help listening to it again when she opened the express cabinet.
After returning home to feed Ah Shuang, Xu Youyuan replied to Shi Yue:
"I don't know your taste, we will eat whatever you like."
The little assistant didn't come today, so Xu Youyuan went to the kitchen to scrape out half a packet of noodles and an egg, and cooked a bowl of fragrant noodles for herself.
Bringing her face to the coffee table, Shi Yue replied:
"Whatever you like to eat, I like to eat."
Shi Yue made this voice while standing in the company corridor, holding the notebook in her hand. After sending it with a smile, she turned around and found Little Teddy standing behind her, which startled her.
Shi Yue: "What are you doing here."
Little Teddy: "I've been here for a long time. You didn't hear me calling you just now."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Huang said that there is a batch of funds that you haven't approved yet. Let me come over and ask you."
"Oh I know, you asked him to come to my office."
"okay!"
Little Teddy took two steps and turned back with a smile, saying meaningfully: "Boss, you are so beautiful today. There is a different brilliance, and it can be seen that you are in a good mood recently."
Shi Yue: "…Thank you."
Little Teddy ran away in a hurry, Shi Yue looked at her reflection in the glass, recalled the expression she had just sent Xu Youyuan back to WeChat, and replayed it, she laughed with a clear heart.
Wouldn't she be overheard what she said just now...
Shi Yue felt that she should correct her attitude in the company next, because it was easy for a group of people to feel restless when she was young.
She decided to put away her smile in the company and be a cold and domineering president.
Just after returning to the office and sitting down, Xu Youyuan's reply came with Mr. Huang.
Xu Youyuan has always sent text messages, but this time she actually sent a voice for the first time.
Mr. Huang had already sat on the chair opposite her, waiting for her to speak.
Shi Yue wanted to reply to Xu Youyuan after a while, but didn't want her to wait, and was even more anxious to know what Xu Youyuan replied.
Three seconds of voice, what could it be
Wouldn't it be just perfunctory her
Looking at Mr. Huang seriously, Mr. Huang was a little nervous when he saw her appearance, and felt that the boss seemed to be in a bad mood, and the money was not approved. Is there any trouble
Shi Yue clicked her voice and put the phone to her ear, her whole face looked like she was listening to some bad news.
Xu Youyuan's voice is very close, she should be very close to the microphone when she speaks, and can hear her breath clearly:
"Why are we so cute when we are young?"
After listening, Shi Yue locked the screen of her phone, placed it on the table, held her forehead, and lowered her head.
Seeing her like this, Mr. Huang was really nervous: "Boss, what happened?"
Shi Yue digested it for a long time, and finally suppressed the rising corner of her mouth and the crazy deer in her heart. She returned to the cold-faced CEO's expression and frowned: "There are a few things you need to help me with..."
An hour later, Mr. Huang left. When Shi Yue saw that he had completely closed the door of the office, he immediately took out his mobile phone and sent a 4D emoji to Xu Youyuan with a series of voices.
Xu Youyuan was in a holographic video conference with the food game team, and Shi Yue's WeChat came in.
Just as someone was looking for data, Xu Youyuan opened WeChat, and a little milk dog emoji popped out from the phone screen, licking Xu Youyuan's wrist.
Xu Youyuan couldn't stand such a high-profile 4D expression. Only children would like it, but it was a child who was talking at the moment.
Xu Youyuan smiled apologetically to her colleague, put on the earphones prepared earlier, and listened to Shiyue:
"Which day am I not good? You invited me to dinner, and you asked me to use my brains. If you say I like to eat what I like to eat, decide quickly! I will wait for you to show me the world tonight. ."
Xu Youyuan's meeting continued, and she could only quickly reply "good".
Shi Yue stared at the screen of her mobile phone, and waited a long time for such a word, feeling a little discouraged.
What is Xu Youyuan busy with
In the next hour and a half when Xu Youyuan didn't reply to her and didn't decide where to eat dinner or what time to meet, Shi Yue was a little absent-minded, as if she had returned to the days of waiting for final grades in her student days.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Youyuan finally came back to life, and even applied for video chat.
When Shi Yue saw the invitation to video chat, her heart was pounding, and she was in the office by herself, and couldn't help but shrank her shoulders and chopped her feet.
However, she didn't click "OK", and turned into voice when the video application was about to hang up automatically.
"Huh? Are you busy?" Xu Youyuan was about to hang up, but she didn't expect to be connected, although it wasn't a video.
"It's a bit." I don't know if it was Xu Youyuan's illusion, but Shi Yue's voice sounded a little cold.
"Are you busy or angry?"
"Why am I angry?"
"There was a sudden meeting just now, so I couldn't confirm it with you in time. I asked my young colleagues, and they recommended a few online celebrity restaurants for grilled meat. I don't know if you will like it. There are also a few creative dishes. , I have written it down, waiting for you to choose."
Shi Yue didn't expect Xu Youyuan to choose so carefully. It seems that she really attaches great importance to tonight's date.
No matter, it's a date.
Shi Yue didn't plan to embarrass Xu Youyuan any more: "Let's have barbecue then. What time? Send me your location."
Xu Youyuan sent the location: "Any time, let's see when you can arrive, I can go whenever the meeting is over."
Shi Yue could not wait to say "Let's go now", but reason still held her back, so she couldn't be so anxious or so proactive.
"I get off work at six o'clock." Shi Yue said, "I try to leave on time. If there are no special circumstances, I will be there at 7:30."
"Row."
"Then contact you when you get off work and tell you if you can get off work on time."
"Okay. Then I'll hang up first."
Shi Yue said "Hey?", but didn't let her hang up so quickly: "You said you were in a meeting, and you have colleagues? You went to work again?"
"I don't expect to be on duty for the time being. Liu Feng also said last time that I am a potential criminal in the eyes of my peers. Who would take the risk of wanting me?"
Shi Yue: "You're not."
"Well... Haha, thank you for believing in me, but others don't. But I have a good friend who gave me the opportunity to make a game, but it's not ready yet. Today I'm talking about other games. ."
"What game? May I know?"
"A food game, which is still in the discussion stage."
Shi Yue knew that this was a commercial secret, and she shouldn't have asked, but she just wanted to tease Xu Youyuan and see how much she trusted her.
She felt that Xu Youyuan would not speak, and even so, Shi Yue wanted to know what topic she would use to bypass it.
Xu Youyuan is indeed an old river and lake, and she told her a concept, not to perfunctory her, nor to reveal business secrets.
Xu Youyuan then followed up: "How is it? Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Shi Yue: "Okay, I'm quite satisfied."
After so many routines for Xu Youyuan, has Xu Youyuan already summed up a set of experiences in her heart? Or…
Recalling what Xu Youyuan said earlier, when Liu Feng found fault in the Pengpai Plaza, she thought that Xu Youyuan hadn't seen her, but in fact Xu Youyuan had already seen it.
Maybe Xu Youyuan has seen through a lot of things long ago, but she just kept it in her heart and didn't say anything
"Satisfied." Shi Yue was indeed satisfied.
"Okay, go to work quickly and try to get off work on time." Xu Youyuan was about to end the call again.
Shi Yue was not able to pester her anymore, so she had to hang up reluctantly.
Putting down the phone, Shi Yue opened the closet and found that all the clothes inside were work clothes, one row of dark blue and one row of black.
Fortunately, there is still some time now, and it is still too late to go to Pengpai Plaza to buy a suit.
Shi Yue took a look at the work log, quickly went to each department to explain some things, and left the company with her bag on her back.
I went to Pengpai Plaza to buy the most popular military green long silk coat, matched it with a short skirt, and wore short boots with bare legs, so I didn't feel cold at all.
Bought a can of milk gray hair dye spray and star effect spray, and tossed it in the bathroom by herself. The effect of the two sprays stacked together was exactly the same as she imagined.
It must be an element that Xu Youyuan will like, at least kind, not annoying.
When she entered the Pengpai Plaza, Shi Yue was a calmly dressed office worker, and when she came out, she completely turned into a fashionable girl with every detail of her body shining brightly.
This is Xu Youyuan's first date with her. It can be said that it is a very memorable first date between the two. She naturally has to go all out.
Shi Yue was in a very good mood. She deliberately replaced the autopilot system with manual operation, turned on the music, played the latest and most popular love songs, and hummed along to the destination.
This barbecue restaurant is an Internet celebrity restaurant. Shiyue had heard about Little Teddy and the others before, but she had never been there.
When casually flipping through short videos on the Internet, nine out of ten internet celebrities have come to this store to check in.
The grilled meat in this restaurant is large and delicious, and the waiters are all muscular men in vests.
A house like Xu Youyuan basically wouldn't choose to come to such a lively place. It seems that she did some homework in order to get closer to the young people.
Thinking of this, Shi Yue was even more satisfied.
Shi Yue deliberately hung the 3D printed figure that Xu Youyuan gave her last time on the car keychain, parked the car at the place, and walked upstairs.
As soon as she entered the store, she saw Xu Youyuan sitting in the corner, wearing a very ordinary light and simple hoodie, and she did not prepare anything carefully for this date.
Xu Youyuan was slightly taken aback when she saw Shi Yue and waved to her.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Shi Yue smiled at Xu Youyuan when she sat down.
"Little devil has a lot of things on his mind. He's dressed up so well, do you want to set off your elder sister to be more old-fashioned?"
"Where are you from? You know how to choose this kind of online celebrity shop to eat, and you completely follow the trend of the times."
Xu Youyuan smiled and turned the electronic screen of the order to Shiyue: "Look at what you want to eat, order whatever you want, don't be polite to me."
"Then I'm definitely not polite to you. I finally took the opportunity to invite you to treat me, right? But didn't you always tell me not to waste money? You just started working on a new project, and the money hasn't arrived yet? Let's start the treat. Have dinner? At least 800 per capita here, it's a bit extravagant, old Xu."
"Who do you call Lao Xu? I won't beat you to the house for a few days, right? The last time you invited a guest to dinner, I didn't have time to thank you. I'll eat the meat today, and I'll bring you later when my sister earns money. Go out and play."
Shi Yue immediately took out her mobile phone and said to Xu Youyuan, "I repeat what I said just now."
Xu Youyuan was amused by her: "What's the matter? You are not enough to record the screen in the game, and you need to record when you have a meal?"
"I'm afraid that what you said will not be fulfilled. Now I feel that I am obediently wanting to take me to play. When I look back, I may feel that I am annoyed and immediately regret it. I must leave some evidence."
Xu Youyuan saw the vampire figure hanging in her car key bag.
Of course she knew that figure, it took her a night to play several times to complete it. I thought that Shi Yue would just put it aside, but she didn't expect that she would carry it with her and spray a layer of protective film on the outside.
I haven't seen each other for a few months, the vampire is the same as when it was just released, there is no scratches at all, the arc of the smile is still a bit cheap, it is Shi Yue himself.
"Okay, you can record it." Xu Youyuan took her eyes back, "Anyway, we already have a lot of evidence for each other, and we don't care about one more. And I'll never regret it. Hurry up and eat, I I'm starving."
"What do you want to eat?"
"It's okay, you decide, I'll eat with you."
"Then I'm welcome."
She said it was rude, but Shiyue didn't order anything. She just ordered a plate of thick-cut beef tongue and fine pork belly, a plate of shiitake mushrooms, a small steamed bun, and two glasses of juice.
"No, when did your appetite become so small? Unlike your style, don't save your sister money, okay?"
"At our company's afternoon tea party, I ate a lot of snacks and drank a cup of tea, but now I don't have that much appetite. It's not good to save money for you, do you have a conscience?"
"Didn't you say you didn't eat breakfast and lunch, and just waited for this dinner? Why are you still full? I don't need you to save me money. I should eat it. It's boring to raise money."
Shi Yue felt that something was wrong, she asked Xu Youyuan, "Where did you get the money?"
"Why do you interrogate me like a prisoner? It must be obtained through regular channels, don't be afraid."
Shi Yue suddenly thought: "You won't sell that special appearance, will you?"
Unexpectedly, Shi Yue's sense of touch was quite sensitive. Xu Youyuan added two more plates of premium snowflake beef rolls, charcoal grilled wagyu beef, crab stewed rice and a large plate of vegetables. She asked Shi Yue if she wanted to drink some wine: "My colleague said The shochu they have here is also very good, can you drink it? Would you like some? It's just so warm on such a cold day."
Shi Yue didn't answer her question, stared into her eyes and said, "Xu Youyuan, answer me, did you sell your appearance?"
Xu Youyuan didn't understand, why she insisted on chasing this matter: "Yeah, I sold it. Appearance doesn't really have any practical effect, but it's just a little collectible. I don't like Xu Xian, so I'll keep it. What are you doing? Keep holding your thighs and be laughed at by you?"
Xu Youyuan smiled at Shi Yue, but Shi Yue couldn't smile at all:
"That's the appearance of our CP. You didn't ask me why I sold it?"
Xu Youyuan really didn't think of this, and she didn't know how to answer for a while:
"Isn't this... just an appearance? And the appearance of a straight man who is cowardly and stupid, what is there to worry about?"
Shi Yue said it again in a very serious and determined tone:
"So what? What about stupid? That's my CP appearance. It's the reward that we finally got through the level together. It can't be measured by money. It's a memorial. It belongs to me and you. How can you? Are you talking about selling it?"
Shi Yue's words made Xu Youyuan dumbfounded. How could she think that Shi Yue, who looked more mature than her peers, would be obsessed with this kind of thing.
I have never seen Shi Yue say something so serious in the past few days. Her big, well-dressed eyes actually turned a little red. This look of loss made Xu Youyuan feel uncomfortable.
"I didn't expect you to care about this matter so much." Xu Youyuan had to admit her mistake frankly, "Is this okay, let's go back and continue to pass the level, I will definitely not sell the appearance next time, okay?"
Xu Youyuan was particularly afraid of this feeling, and unknowingly failed Shi Yue's wishes, which made her sad.
Shi Yue didn't blame her anymore, but the excitement when she first arrived had turned into a loss.
Xu Youyuan felt like she was on pins and needles the whole time, and could not wait to find her mobile phone to find out how to coax the current little girl.
