Xue Yao did what she said. After hanging up the phone, she immediately found Su Han's number from the address book and dialed it in one go.
beep-
It’s connected.
Xue Yao didn't know why her hand immediately pressed the hang-up button. She came to her senses when the call ended, and then she didn't move.
Waiting.
Why should she lose her temper whenever someone says she wants? She still has a temper. She is already old and has two troublesome children. Her hairline is receding every year. Doesn't Su Han know how to be considerate of her
The call was made and the message was conveyed. If the other party was more mature, he would have called her back.
If she still doesn't reply, then she will...
Ten minutes later, Xue Yao did not receive a call back from Su Han.
Xue Yao stared at An Jing's phone. She actually didn't reply? How childish she was!
…
"Is Xiao A in the company now? Okay, let her come to my office, I have something to say." After Su Han said this, he hung up the office intercom.
Soon, the employee she called sat opposite her.
Su Han: "You handled yesterday's incident very well. I called you over to ask you if you have any intention..." Su Han paused and looked at the buzzing phone on the table. Before she could see the caller ID, the phone stopped.
Su Han: "Wait a moment."
She picked up her phone to check the missed calls, and there was a "Mr. Xue" on it. Xiao A opposite her saw that the company's vigorous and efficient Mr. Su showed a rare hesitation on his face, and there was a flash of joy in his eyes.
She looked at the nose and the nose, but in her heart she connected her behavior with the scandal that had been circulating in the company for two years. It is said that General Manager Su and General Manager Xue, the agent of Lu Yinbing and Xia Yitong in Lu Yinbing's studio, are a couple and are very loving. General Manager Xue is a very nice person and always smiles when he meets everyone. He comes to have dinner with General Manager Su at a fixed time and then goes home together. This dog-abuse scene has lasted for more than two years. Until recently, General Manager Su left work early every day, and General Manager Xue no longer came to have dinner with him. Originally, it was thought that Su Han went home early to accompany her lover out of consideration. Later, an employee saw the two of them chatting in the corridor of the company. General Manager Xue looked very angry and they had a quarrel. Everyone concluded.
Then the complicated expression she showed when looking at her phone must be because of the other party. She was happy and hesitant at the same time, which obviously meant she was upset. I must gossip with everyone when I get back later.
A faint smile appeared on Xiao A's lips.
"Let's continue talking." Su Han came back to his senses from his trance and felt annoyed for a while.
Didn't she just make a phone call and then hang up? She has called less these days? Every time she asks me if I want to eat, eat, eat, eat, all she does is eat. Was she a starving ghost in her previous life? Does she have to eat at every restaurant in Beijing before she considers holding my hand? Why don't you ask when you can see that she is being unreasonable? Will I die if I ask? Or will I lose a piece of meat
Why did she hang up? Was she fed up with her moodiness and abnormal behavior? She wanted to remind herself that this was the end. Her patience was limited. Who was Xue Yao? She was even more domineering than herself. She was arrogant and restrained. She had become more restrained over the years, but Su Han would always remember the Xue Yao she had seen when she was an intern more than a decade ago. She was sharp and high-spirited. She was only in her twenties, but she revealed a kind of profoundness that was different from that of ordinary young people. People could not help but kneel down at her feet.
She had this idea before, but she was too far away and full of mystery. She would attract people and make them wary. She was a dangerous puzzle. If you approach her, you might get the sweetest sweetness in the world, or drink the most poisonous wine. In the end, she chose Chaochu Entertainment, which was far away in S City. She would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Rather than saying that she was so afraid of her that she took a detour, it would be better to say that after seeing the charm of that person at that time, her brain made the best choice.
Fate is a very strange thing. It makes you meet it more than ten years ago, and more than ten years later it draws a circle with the lines that have been connected for many years.
"Boss Su?"
"Hmm?" Su Han said absentmindedly, "Go on."
Little A: "You haven't spoken yet."
Su Han: “Really?”
Little A: “…” How should she answer this
She had no intention of talking about business, so Su Han waved his hand and said, "I have something to do. I'll call you over later."
Xiao A: "Okay, then I'll go back to work first."
Xiao A closed the office door, left the secretary's sight, and shot into her own office area like a cannonball, beeping softly: "Extra! Extra! President Su asked me to come over, as if she had something to say, and then her phone vibrated, and she was distracted and called me out directly!"
"Xiao A, you always get big news."
"Excuse me, excuse me, hahaha."
"There must have been a quarrel."
"I'll tell you a secret. I went out to eat at noon today, and I seemed to see Mr. Xue's car in the parking strip at the curb! It was a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and the last three digits of the license plate were 928, right?"
"Fuck, why didn't you tell us when you just saw it? Why are you telling us now?"
"I wasn't sure, but now I remember I'm sure. They had a fight, so one of them was upstairs making a scene, and the other was downstairs waiting to comfort them."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, I never thought that our President Su would be so awkward."
"Wow, a beastly top x an awkward bottom, the opposite of my CP."
"What a beast, even if you know what this word means, it's useless, it's obviously a gentle and virtuous top and a strong bottom."
"I remembered another secret."
"Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly, or you will be severely punished."
"I have a friend who works at Lu Shen Studio. She said that Mr. Xue is very scary, so I think you guys are a little too naive..."
"What???"
"Who are those people who smile at us all day long???"
After everyone was silent, someone sighed and spoke the truth: "This may be the power of love."
Everyone nodded in unison.
A bystander sees more clearly than a participant. Even the employees in the company can see that Xue Yao really likes Su Han. If she didn't like him, why would she be so patient? If she didn't like him, why would she change her temperament? If she didn't like him, why would she wait downstairs in the middle of the day
But Su Han herself was not so sure. Her indifference was also caused by this. If she liked him, how could there be no waves in the past two years; if she liked him, how could she not be unable to control herself; if she liked him, why did she not fall into the obsession and fanaticism of love except for occasionally saying "I am pursuing you" without any pain? She treated herself like a task, coming here every day to punch in, eat and send her home, and then it was over. The next day, the cycle repeats. She said from the beginning that she just had a good impression of me, and listed one, two, three, four reasons for pursuing her. Two years have passed, and she has not said that she likes me. Is she still in the stage of having a good impression
If she can't turn her liking into love in two years, is it meaningful to continue wasting time like this? Day after day, her dormant feelings that sprouted many years ago but were strangled are rekindling. If she doesn't withdraw in time, she will be the one who can't withdraw.
Like most middle-aged people, Su Han no longer likes adventure, the unknown, or excitement. It is she, not Xue Yao, who should cut losses in time.
She has expressed her dissatisfaction with her actions. If she is not in the company, won't Xue Yao go to her house to find her? She will only call to ask if she wants to eat or go shopping. Is it okay if she starves to death and breaks her legs
Call me if you need anything. I'll be there right away.
Twenty years ago, Su Han would have felt that the other party really cared about her, but twenty years later, she was not moved by these verbal promises. What's the point of saying that? You still haven't come. Is there something I need to call you? If there is nothing, I can't call you, right
Su Han knew what a mature person should do. After having been in love for several times, who hasn't done something wrong? She understood the reason, but she couldn't confront Xue Yao, who was so tepid, and ask her whether she liked her. If she gave her a few more days and still didn't understand, she would go to Xia Yitong and ask Xia Yitong to play a supporting role for Xue Yao.
This way you won't ruin the person and will also relieve the depression in your heart.
This call that was hung up undoubtedly aroused her mood to the highest point. From then on, Su Han kept wondering what Xue Yao meant. She thought so much that her head started to hurt, so she took the initiative to pick up the phone and dialed Xue Yao's number.
Make a phone call and ask her what she means. If her answer satisfies you, continue chatting. If not, hang up.
that's all.
After making up his mind, Su Han pressed the button. The phone vibrated, and Su Han was startled. Is there a new function of dial vibration now? After a short moment of shock, Su Han held his breath and pressed the answer button.
Xue Yao couldn't tell the emotion: "Hey."
Su Han responded without any emotion. She swore that if Xue Yao dared to ask her if she wanted to go out for dinner somewhere again, she would block him on the spot.
Xue Yao: "I have a question for you?"
Su Han: “Yeah.”
This development was not quite what she had expected, but it was not too irritating, so she could continue.
Xue Yao: "Why are you suddenly ignoring me?"
Su Han: "I didn't ignore you."
It's just a little cold. Huh.
Xue Yao: "I feel wronged."
Who doesn't know how to act cute and pitiful? She was born with a sweet voice. It would be easy for her to deal with someone like Su Han who looks cold but not particularly cold inside, right
"..." Su Han really couldn't escape her sudden change of tone. She was stunned for a moment, and then her ears started to itch badly, as if the other person was talking into her ear, and she got goose bumps all over her body.
Xue Yao: "I'm downstairs in your company."
Su Han blurted out: "I'll pick you up."
She regretted it as soon as she finished speaking. This was completely different from what she had imagined, okay? Wasn't she just being upset? Why did she seem to be sorry for Xue Yao? It was too scary. She knew that once this woman got serious, she would be completely unable to deal with her.
Xue Yao didn't wait for her to change her mind and quickly said, "I'll wait for you here. Go straight out of the company and then turn right. My car is parked there and I'm inside."
Su Han: “…”
Five seconds later, Su Han hurried out of the office and entered the elevator.
Xue Yao was so miserable that she just did the whole thing. She got out of the car, took off her coat and held it in her hand, leaving the collar open to let the cold wind blow. Then she estimated the time it would take for Su Han to go downstairs, and wrapped herself up again before she came out.
It has to be said that it was quite effective. As soon as Su Han came down, he saw Xue Yao, who was only a small person wearing a coat that almost reached her ankles. She was shivering in the cold wind, and her lips were almost frozen to a pale white.
All the questions about why she hasn't confessed to me have become a mystery to me. I want to hug her right then and there to keep her warm. It's not appropriate to hug her in public, but it's okay to warm her hands.
Su Han grabbed Xue Yao's hand and held it in his palm, breathing angrily, "Are you stupid? Can't you wait in the car?"
Xue Yao stared at her without blinking, and said softly and aggrievedly: "I want to see you earlier."
Su Han's face suddenly turned red.
"In case you regret it before you even get here, at least I can take a look at you."
Su Han felt guilty again.
Soon she realized that this was Xue Yao's trick and she couldn't fall into it, but why did her mood rise so much? Su Han tried to keep a straight face: "Let's talk in my office."
"Be frank and honest?" Xue Yao asked.
"Be frank." Su Han answered her.
The two of them walked back to the office upstairs. Su Han naturally let go of Xue Yao's hand and asked her to sit on the sofa first. She turned around to make tea. Su Han didn't know that Xue Yao had taken in her blank stare at her hand.
We held hands, just like that.
This is a small step between them, and also a step to start a leap.
The fish has taken the bite, now it's time to fish.
Xue Yao smiled faintly and took the tea handed to her by Su Han. The best Biluochun was refreshing, but no matter how good the tea was, it couldn't compare to her current mood. Excitement, excitement, ecstasy, all kinds of emotions rushed out in her heart, but in Su Han's eyes, the person in front of him was still as calm as usual.
Know your limits, know when to advance and retreat, and always be appropriate.
It's no wonder that Su Han couldn't guess Xue Yao's mind. There are few people in this world who can see through Xue Yao's mind. Her social experience made her mature early and learned to disguise herself. Over time, the habit became natural and she couldn't change it. Besides, in this society, people who are good at disguising themselves are much better off than those who are ignorant.
Be frank, be frank as promised, but facing Xue Yao's face which was so calm as if nothing could stir up the waves in her heart, Su Han lost interest in being frank.
She threw the initiative to Xue Yao: "What do you want to ask?"
Xue Yao said calmly: "I asked you once on the phone, why are you suddenly so cold to me?"
It was like this again. Su Han was almost angry. This calm tone had been used every day and night for the past two years. She didn't like it. She really didn't like it. It was like talking about business. As long as she answered, the plan would be passed, and nothing would happen.
Su Han said in a cold and hard tone: "Can you show some expression?"
"Ah?" Xue Yao was stunned.
Did she have no expression? She was obviously smiling. She looked pretty when she smiled. You wouldn't think she was in her forties. She must be in her twenties at most.
"Blink." Su Han ordered.
Xue Yao blinked obediently, her long eyelashes flickering on her baby face, looking very adorable.
Su Han: "Smile, and show all your teeth, not your usual smile."
Xue Yao grinned.
Su Han: "Good boy."
Xue Yao: “Huh?”
Su Han: “Hmm?”
Xue Yao: "Usually, this sentence is accompanied by a pat on the head." She read this from the novels recommended by Xia Yitong. It must be said that Xia Yitong's reading is very diverse. The novels recommended by her are simply a collection of love stories, with all kinds of couples. In terms of learning ability, Xue Yao believes that she is not inferior to teenagers.
Su Han touched Xue Yao's head, and Xue Yao cooperated by rubbing her palm. Even though this made Su Han feel very uncomfortable, it successfully eased the stiff atmosphere between the two.
Su Han: "I..."
Xue Yao blinked her eyes and grinned. She was not cute but rather clumsy, but her clumsiness was endearing.
The depression that had been lingering for many days was swept away, and Su Han suddenly smiled: "No, I have nothing to say."
What else is there to say? What kind of person is Xue Yao? If she didn't like me, why would she destroy her image and act weird to please me? What attracted her to Xue Yao at first was her mysterious and calm attitude towards life. Now, is she going to deny her feelings for me because of these? Two years, not long, not short. If she wasn't interested, who would be willing to spend two years of time and energy to face a workaholic? No holding hands, no hugging, no kissing. She doesn't have any kind of person she wants, so why bother hanging on this crooked tree
"Can I hear your heartbeat?" Su Han asked.
Xue Yao was stunned for a moment, and straightened her back nervously. Realizing something was wrong, she thrust her chest forward again, and her ears felt hot.
Su Han put his ear to her chest and his heart beat a little faster.
thump-
one time.
thump-
Again.
In the steady beating, Su Han slowly closed his eyes and said, "I like you, let's be together."
Plop, plop, plop.
My heart was beating wildly, as if several deer were running around in it.
Su Han smiled knowingly.
…
After Lu and Xia finished chatting with Xue Yao in the car, they returned home. They did not go anywhere in the evening. They had dinner at home. They had hand-rolled noodles. Lu Yinbing cooked them personally, but they mixed the noodles together. Lu Yinbing was responsible for kneading and rolling the noodles, while Xia Yitong was responsible for spreading the starch. She was from the south, and this recipe was basically not available at home. She only ate it occasionally in a restaurant, and it was very novel.
When he saw Lu Yinbing using a kitchen knife to cut the noodles, he held up his face and said in surprise: "I thought they were pulled out by hand, just like the chefs on TV."
“So hand-rolled noodles are called hand-rolled noodles, not ramen.”
"That makes sense." Xia Yitong was eager to try, "Let me cut it. I want to cut it."
Lu Yinbing held the spine of the knife and pointed the handle towards her: "Okay, if you want it wide, cut it wider, if you want it thin, cut it thinner."
"Can we each cut it in half?"
"Well, although no one would normally cut it this way, it's fine as long as you like it."
Five minutes later, two large bowls of noodles were placed on the table. The wide noodles of varying thicknesses were chewy and springy, soaked in a rich and fragrant broth and sprinkled with a handful of chopped green onions. There was no need for any extra side dishes, it was enough to make people swallow their tongues.
Xia Yitong took a deep breath of the fragrance in the air, took a photo as a souvenir, then picked up the chopsticks and put the food into her mouth, refusing to let go even though it was hot.
Lu Yinbing took the chopsticks and sat opposite her to eat slowly, with a thoughtful look on his face: "I always feel like I forgot something."
"What's the matter?" Xia Yitong ate heartily, his words unclear.
"I don't know, but it feels very important." Lu Yinbing bit a noodle and put it into his mouth piece by piece. Suddenly, he let out a cry and the noodle fell back into the bowl. "I remembered that I haven't reported the incident of being photographed yet!"
Xia Yitong choked.
Lu Yinbing quickly took out her phone: "I'll call her now, otherwise I'll be scolded again if it makes the headlines tomorrow."
Xia Yitong nodded hurriedly.
Lu Yinbing dialed the number with his ear pressed to the receiver.
—Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off...
