"are you home yet?"
Half an hour ago, Shi Yue sent Xu Youyuan a WeChat, full text.
After drinking a glass of water and making a pot of tea, I switched from one sofa to another, but I still didn't wait for Xu Youyuan's reply.
Why didn't you reply? Did you see it or didn't see it
Or, in danger
Shi Yue wanted to make a call directly to ask, but what if the family wasn't in danger and just didn't want to go back
He turned on the phone and turned the vibration to the loudest. After running for two laps in the gym on the third floor, the phone next to the treadmill suddenly rang. Shi Yue jumped off the high-speed running belt and grabbed the phone. Unlock quickly!
Messages in the "Today is your dad too" WeChat chat group:
The strongest Alpha on earth: "Atou, did you steal my equipment again?"
Atou's family doesn't keep a cat: "Who stole your equipment? I haven't played the game for several days."
The strongest Alpha on Earth: "Who else can you be?"
Atou's family doesn't keep a cat: "It's weird, aren't you a big hacker? You'll know when you hack into the game."
The strongest Alpha on Earth: "Believe it or not, I'll go straight to your house and beat you up?"
Ato didn't reply.
Shi Yue resisted the urge to curse and withdraw from the group, and temporarily blocked the group.
Just as she was about to put the phone down, another WeChat message came in, the phone slipped in her palm, and Shi Yue caught it firmly.
This time it's really Xu Youyuan!
"I fell asleep in the car just now, sorry. Just got home."
Shi Yue immediately voiced over: "Have you entered the house?"
"Come in." Xu Youyuan also returned to her voice, and she could hear the sound of putting shoes in a low voice in the background.
Shi Yue held the phone and didn't reply right away.
She hated the old way of communication very much. She couldn't see each other's face, couldn't feel the atmosphere at the moment, and all her guesses would be biased.
Shi Yue wanted to end the day with one sentence. Sitting on the stationary treadmill, sweat dripped down her wet hair. She looked at the screen and didn't think of the right words.
Just when she was hesitating, Xu Youyuan on the other side of the city seemed to feel her troubles, and sent another WeChat message, which turned out to be a 4D emoji.
A fleshy red panda rose into the air, caught the pillow and quilt in the air, and was already snoring in the quilt when it landed. A hand reached out and touched its head, and two fat words floated up - "Good night".
"Go to bed early." Xu Youyuan's voice said, "Go to work tomorrow."
Why is Xu Youyuan so gentle? She is more gentle and likes the person who Shiyue collected from all kinds of scattered fragments.
Even if I got Xu Youyuan's good night, I still couldn't sleep well.
Shi Yue ran for five kilometers on the treadmill, took off her sweaty tracksuit, and threw it on the ground. The AI dog that was charging immediately stepped forward and took the dirty clothes into the dirty clothes basket.
Shi Yue entered the elevator with bare feet and naked body. When the elevator slowly descended, Shi Yue held on to the wall and pressed the "shower" button to activate the shower system of the home elevator.
The middle of the ceiling moved to both sides, and a huge circular shower was protruding from the inside. Shi Yue said:
"40 degree."
Gentle and abundant hot water poured down from the top of her head, Shi Yue washed her body clean, and walked out directly when she reached the pool level.
After Shiyue left, the shower was closed again, the drying system was activated, the elevator was completely dried in ten seconds, and there was also a scent of Shiyue's commonly used perfume.
Shi Yue jumped into the pool with a thud, swam several times, and finally used up the last bit of strength, wiped her body and returned to the soft bed, wanting to fall asleep faster.
As a result, she tossed and turned, thinking about Xu Youyuan all the time, and didn't sleep well all night.
When Shi Yue arrived at the company the next day, Little Teddy, who was still picking up coffee, saw her dark circles and was startled.
"What's wrong with you, boss? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Little Teddy asked cautiously, "Do you need a cup of coffee to refresh yourself?"
Shi Yue stretched out two fingers: "Two cups, Tecon, thank you."
After having a morning meeting in the morning, Shi Yue was still sleepy after drinking two glasses, so she asked for another one.
"Boss, drink less..." Little Teddy was frightened by her. "No, let's go out and have a good time. If you drink too much melanin, it will easily hurt your body."
Shi Yue gave a vague "um", and Mr. Huang touched his sparse forehead and said with emotion:
"It's better to be young. If I go down these three cups, I'll be suffocating."
When it was almost noon, the meeting finally ended, and Shi Yue invited everyone to lunch as usual.
The group came to Pengpai Square again, and it was the same box where they ate last time. The topic revolved around the familiar mid-life crisis and the hot news that happened in the past few days.
Everyone remembered the lonely old man Yi Rushuang once mentioned, and asked her how the old man was doing recently and whether he was still alive.
Yi Rushuang said, "I'm not only alive, but I guess people are still alive and well. A very miraculous thing happened."
Everyone's attention was attracted by the words "especially amazing".
"How amazing, could it be possible to rejuvenate?"
"That's not true, but the aunt actually has a new partner, and she looks like a partner much younger than her."
"No, Xiaoyi, how do you know if they have a partner? Could it be that you peeked under their bed?"
"No, I don't." Yi Rushuang quickly denied, "Last time there was a power outage in our community, you know that the western suburbs are full of old houses. Occasionally, there will be power outages, and once the power stops, the whole building will stop. Everyone came out to see what was going on, and then I saw a young woman wearing a mask coming out of the room 4390, looking at her figure and the style of her pajamas, I knew it was a young woman."
"Young woman?" He, the elder of the fourth group of the development department, said in surprise, "How can the old aunt still play so well?"
The hair on Lao He's forehead is less than that of Mr. Huang, and its density is about the same as the whiskers on a freshly broken corn cobs.
Despite this, Lao He's hair volume is already average among men over the age of forty in the company.
Hearing the words "young woman", Lao He's eyes lit up like a hungry wolf, "I want young women too... What's the matter? Now young women like to look for old aunties? No one likes mature people like me. Uncle?"
Everyone teased: "The handsome ones are called uncles, and the ugly ones are called earth dogs."
Lao He cursed with a swear word, and almost jumped up and beat someone with a spoon.
"Wait a moment."
Today, Shi Yue, who had not been in the state very much all day, suddenly raised her head, her blue and black eyes were shining brightly, she stared at Yi Rushuang and asked, "I remember you live in Juheyuan."
Yi Rushuang replied, "Yes boss."
"How many units do you live in?"
Yi Rushuang didn't know why the boss suddenly asked such details, so he could only answer truthfully: "Unit 3."
Unit 3, 4390, is the room where Xu Youyuan lives.
Although Shi Yue hadn't been there in person, she had ordered takeout there, and she remembered this address on purpose.
Could the old aunt who lives in 4390 be Xu Youyuan
But how is that possible, old aunt? Even if Xu Youyuan wasn't a teenager in her twenties, she couldn't stand the words "Old Auntie".
Whether it's appearance, temperament or figure, can Xu Youyuan kill a young man in seconds
Shi Yue complained in her heart:
Even if I said she was an auntie when I was joking, and I called her sister, but she wasn't really an auntie. The word "auntie" is only my name!
Yi Rushuang must be blind.
Could it be that the young man Yi Rushuang said was referring to me? No, I have been there once, but I only sent Xu Youyuan to the gate of the community and did not go in, let alone go upstairs, Yi Rushuang could not see me. And I was with my sister on the day of the power outage, and I didn't meet Xu Youyuan in the building at all, and I knew at a glance that it was not a resident.
Who is the young man that Yi Rushuang said? Or did she see Xu Youyuan as two people
What if she didn't read it wrong
Yue spent the whole lunch time thinking about this, and the more she thought about it, the more strange it became.
Xu Youyuan and her are actually very close, and it's okay to say that the two are in an ambiguous period. But when the atmosphere was so good last night, Xu Youyuan actually refused her invitation to spend the night, which is a bit strange to think about now.
The two have already had very close contact in the dark room. It stands to reason that Xu Youyuan is not a particularly conservative person. She also likes to pursue an exciting life and knows how to enjoy it. You can see from the content of her five-star positive comments. Come out, it is a sullen show.
Xu Youyuan kept her distance, not because she didn't like Shi Yue.
Shi Yue used to think that maybe because of the age gap, or because of the younger sister, because of affection, it was not good to be together too soon.
Shi Yue really hadn't thought about other aspects.
But if what Yi Rushuang said is true, it doesn't matter whether Xu Youyuan is the old aunt or the young woman Yi Rushuang said.
The point is - what if Xu Youyuan really has a cohabiting lover
Xu Youyuan has been divorced for some time. Even if she is at a low point in her career, she is still a great god who has influenced a generation, and is the goddess in the hearts of countless young people.
In the past, Xu Youyuan had a special forum, and even had her own support club like the stars. Every New Year or birthday, gifts were sent to her house in boxes. These sisters have mentioned it. When Shi Yue was in college, she often went to that forum and downloaded a lot of high-definition photos and video interviews.
The person who likes her is definitely not the only one, so after her divorce, it is not impossible for someone to jump to her side early.
After all, Shi Yue had never been to her house.
The last time I wanted to make a holographic video with her, was she also rejected by her
This is a very possible situation, Shi Yue has never thought about it.
The more Shi Yue thought about it, the more she felt that this was the truth. She was still sitting there when everyone had finished eating and was leaving.
"What's the matter, Boss, do you want to eat more?" Little Teddy asked.
Shi Yue didn't answer Little Teddy, but asked Yi Rushuang, "Is your birthday coming soon?"
Yi Rushuang said, "Ah?" "My birthday? It was just last month."
"Yes, I'm talking about your birthday in the lunar calendar. So, you haven't held a welcome party since you arrived in our company, right? It's just right." Shi Yue decided on the spot, "Everyone is very tired during this time and has worked overtime. After so many days, you should have a good rest and relax, work and rest, so that you can put more energy into how much work, right? So tomorrow afternoon, let's build a team and celebrate Xiaoyi's birthday. "
As soon as they heard that they actually took up work time for the team building, everyone in the project team cheered and agreed. He asked a question that everyone cared about the most:
"Boss, is it your treat?"
"Of course, I'll treat you." Shi Yue responded very generously, "I'll pay 8,000 yuan to buy some food and drink, and a cake. Let's go to Xiaoyi's house to give her an unforgettable birthday. ?"
Everyone looked at each other: "...the money is enough."
Everyone who thought they were going out for a meal at the sea was a little silly when they heard that they were going to Xiaoyi's house for their birthday - doesn't Xiaoyi's family live in the western suburbs? run that far
Lao He kept staring at his subordinate Akun, motioning him to speak quickly.
Knowing that he was going to be pushed out to be a sacrifice again, Akun asked directly:
"Boss, can't we find a place to eat, drink and have fun? Isn't it too much trouble to go to Xiaoyi's house?"
"Yes, boss." Little Teddy also said, "And Xiaoyi's family probably can't hold so many people."
Little Teddy winked at Yi Rushuang frantically, telling her to speak quickly.
Yi Rushuang thought this scene was a bit strange. Why did the boss have to help her celebrate her birthday? Not like what a normal boss would do. I've heard about organizing welfare birthday parties for employees before, but it's all about human affairs. Our company is not alone!
But she was also a little moved. Her father passed away very early, and her mother took her to remarry once, and then gave birth to a younger brother. All attention was paid to her younger brother. Over the years, her mother has never remembered her birthday. Over time, she even forgot when her birthday was, and she never did.
Shi Yue is the first person in these years to say that she wants to help her with her birthday.
I suddenly remembered that day when Shi Yue praised her for having a good haircut, and even made an excuse to say that she had given her an extra 5,000 yuan for a fitness card and asked her to buy a good-looking dress. This is not something that ordinary bosses would do.
Yi Rushuang had a very bold idea in her heart, and when this idea emerged from her heart, even she was startled.
Shouldn't the boss...
Just when Yi Rushuang secretly scolded himself for being affectionate, Shi Yue said something that no one thought of:
"That's right, the western suburbs are too far away, and it may not be convenient for Xiaoyi's house to be visited by too many people, but it's not a bad birthday. So, Xiaoyi, let me celebrate your birthday alone."
When Shi Yue said these words, the scalps of the people present were about to be ripped off.
Shi Yue didn't show any expression, but her inexplicable insistence made everyone panic.
The boss will not be angry, right
Mr. Huang hurriedly made a round of the game: "Oh, really, what is there to be afraid of if you want to have a good birthday? Birthdays only come once a year, so you have to have a good time... Besides, Xiaoyi is always very good to you guys, right?"
Lao He quickly added: "That is, the boss spends his own money and builds a team for us when he is still at work. What else is there to be dissatisfied with? Xiaoyi, are you renting a house by yourself?"
Yi Rushuang's reaction was half a beat, and his face turned slightly red at some point: "Well, yes, it's the room I rented myself."
"How big is it?"
"A 40-square-meter 1 room and 1 hall."
"That's fine. It's more than I thought. It's not a problem to go to five or six people."
Mr. Huang said: "Then it's settled. Tomorrow afternoon, let's go to Xiaoyi's house to give her an unforgettable birthday."
Inexplicably, Yi Rushuang and Little Teddy began to prepare for the birthday party.
The two sat together and picked cakes online. When they saw a good cake, they shared it in the group of the project team and asked Shiyue if it was okay.
Shi Yue replied: "If you like it, it's fine."
Little Teddy said to Yi Rushuang, "The boss really loves you."
Yi Rushuang lowered his head and said nothing, not wanting little Teddy to find himself blushing like blood.
The next day, Shi Yue and his party took the company car to the western suburbs.
When they arrived at Juhe Garden, six people were sitting in the elevator. The elevator rattled upwards and trembled from time to time. Little Teddy was so frightened that he tightly grasped Yi Rushuang's hand:
"Let's not fall off!"
Yi Rushuang was very calm: "Don't worry, I only fell two floors last time. It didn't fall to the bottom, but it scared an old man to pee his pants."
Little Teddy: "… "
Shi Yue and others got out of the elevator alive, passing by the door of 4390, Shi Yue secretly glanced at the closed door.
The assistant sent by Canglu to Xu Youyuan is a distant relative of Canglu, whose surname is Tao and Xiaoyu. She has just struggled from the quagmire of a cold in winter and is back at work again.
At 4390 o'clock in the morning, Xu Youyuan hadn't woken up yet. She was accustomed to Xu Youyuan's routine, so she quietly went into the house to clean quietly. After feeding Ah Shuang, she brought the shopping list and money written by Xu Youyuan and went to the second-hand market to help. She bought the thermostat and came back with some food by the way.
Before she came back, Xu Youyuan had already got up and went to the gym. Tao Xiaoyu went upstairs with a vegetable basket and walked to 4390.
Walking into Yi Rushuang's house, everyone was surprised.
The house is very old, and the door is installed with an old-fashioned security door opened with a key. After entering, I found that the small room was pasted with beige wallpaper. The living room was very compact and filled with neat tables, chairs and sofas, which looked very warm.
"That's great!" Little Teddy took a turn in the living room. "I also want to live in this kind of place alone, and I don't want to share a room with others again!"
The takeaway of the cake arrived. A Kun and Lao He went downstairs to get the cake. Little Teddy and Yi Rushuang washed and cut the vegetables they bought together. Mr. Huang came with a computer and was dealing with some work.
Shi Yue was going to help in the kitchen, but they drove them back: "Boss, how could you do such a thing! Don't touch it, leave it to us!"
Shi Yue felt a little silly standing alone in the living room, and went out for a walk in the corridor.
As soon as I went out, I saw a young woman turned right, and there was a passage leading to room 4390.
Shi Yue quickly followed, and as expected, a strange woman was actually opening the door of 4390.
The woman looked twenty-five or six years old. She was wearing an ordinary coat and jeans. She wore light makeup and had long hair. The hair on her forehead was combed back on the top of her head. She opened the door with a key in her left hand and a The vegetable basket, the whole person looks very... at home.
"Excuse me..." Shi Yue stepped forward to speak, startling Tao Xiaoyu. Tao Xiaoyu looked back at her a little warily.
"Is this Xu Youyuan's home?" Shi Yue asked.
Tao Xiaoyu leaned against the door: "Yes."
Shi Yue: "Who are you?"
Tao Xiaoyu didn't expect this stranger to ask such a question, and with a very unkind tone, he couldn't help but ask: "Who are you?"
Shi Yue didn't answer, Tao Xiaoyu immediately entered and closed the door.
When she first came to the western suburbs, Xu Youyuan warned Tao Xiaoyu, saying that this is a suburb and the law and order is not very good, so she should be careful.
Unexpectedly, she really met a strange person.
Tao Xiaoyu looked out from the cat's eye after entering the door, the strange woman was still staring at the same place!
