Fenglin City has four distinct seasons. In November, the weather was already very cold. Tang Susu had a cold two days ago, and she wished she could wrap herself into a ball when she went out.
Compared to her colleagues in short skirts and flesh-colored stockings, she felt as if she was from another planet.
The usually active dog egg doesn't want to show up now, either lying in the soft bed of the handbag specially prepared for it all day, or huddled in the pocket of the coat.
As a bowl spirit, it is also afraid of cold, which is really unscientific!
During the lunch break, Tang Susu suddenly received a call from her best friend Bai Mian, saying that the plane was back at 6 o'clock this afternoon, which made her very happy.
Bai Mian has been away for more than a year. The time difference between the two of them is wrong, and the message is sent by a donkey's mouth and a horse's mouth. It is not easy to say that the weather is good today, and tomorrow to say that you have eaten.
I happily bought a bunch of vegetables at home, and after seeing that it was almost time, I drove to the airport.
This wait was more than two hours. Seeing that the time passed every minute and every second, there was still no one Bai Mian. She dialed again but no one answered.
In desperation, he could only drive back. Until the next day, there was no news from Bai Mian.
Tang Susu panicked in her heart, and had been distracted this morning.
Bai Mian is a very punctual person, and she never remembers the wrong time. Even if she made a mistake before, according to her past habits, she should have given her news as soon as possible.
In the afternoon, Tang Susu finally got a little anxious waiting, and dug out an unmarked number from the blacklist of the mobile phone. After hesitating for a while, he finally pressed the call button.
The phone only rang twice before it was picked up, and the voice on the other side of the phone was a little surprised, "Susu?"
"it's me."
"I haven't heard your voice for a long time, how are you?"
Listening to the gentle male voice on the other end of the phone, Tang Susu looked at the dark computer screen, which showed her indifferent expression, "Bai Le, do you know where Bai Mian is?"
She didn't respond to the other's greeting, as if she didn't hear it at all.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Finally, before Tang Susu ran out of patience, the voice came again, "She's at home."
"When did she come back?"
"I picked her up last night."
"I see, goodbye." The answer from the other party didn't make Tang Susu's brows loosen, but became more and more worried.
"Susu, don't you want to tell me something?"
The answer to him was the voice of hanging up the phone, without hesitation.
Tang Susu deleted the call records, and put the string of numbers back where they should have been.
Regarding Bai Le's question just now, she just thought it was a little funny. What more can I say to him? If it was a few years ago, she might still have the thought to get to the bottom of it. Today, everyone is just a familiar stranger.
A week has passed, and every day, Tang Susu will call Bai Mian, but the call is not answered. Messages sent in the past have not been returned.
She couldn't even be sure if Bai Le's words were true, but she couldn't go to Bai's house, and there was no other way to know Bai Mian's news.
After get off work, she walked slowly on the road alone. It's cold now, and it's getting dark early. After five o'clock, it's dark outside.
She was huddled in a cashmere coat, her neck and mouth were surrounded by a long woolen scarf, and the cold air was successfully isolated.
After walking a short distance, she heard the sound of a horn behind her. She thought she was in the way and gave way to the side. As a result, the sound of the horn behind her became more and more urgent.
She turned her head unhappily, and a Maybach that looked very familiar appeared in front of her.
The car stopped beside her, the window fell, revealing the familiar face, "Chairman."
"Just got off work?" Shi Chengxuan tilted his head slightly, the dim yellow light of the street lamp hit his side face, and he could clearly see the curvature of the corners of his mouth.
"Yeah." Although I can see the boss basically every day, the feeling of seeing it at work and seeing it after get off work is completely different.
"Get in the car and I'll take you back."
"..." Tang Susu paused, then went around to the other side, opened the car door and sat in.
The warm air in the car instantly surrounded her, she breathed a sigh of relief, and after putting on her seat belt, she began to remove the scarf in circles.
It is also very difficult to tie a two-meter-long scarf.
Shi Chengxuan watched her with interest for a long time, and started the car before she realized it.
"Secretary Wu told me that you've been absent-minded these past few days. Is there something wrong at home?" Shi Chengxuan turned to talk to her after waiting for the traffic light.
Tang Susu blinked, Secretary Wu even told the boss about this? Is he complaining or caring about himself!
"It's not about the family." Tang Susu was a little embarrassed, and hesitantly looked at Shi Chengxuan, not knowing what to say.
"That's what trouble you encountered, let's hear it, maybe I can help you."
At this time, Tang Susu could no longer think about whether the other party was so enthusiastic for any other purpose. Apart from Shi Chengxuan, I am afraid that no one else could help her.
She only hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have a good friend. She called me last week to pick me up, but I didn't pick her up, and I haven't been able to get in touch with her until today."
"disappeared?"
Tang Susu shook her head, "I contacted her brother, and her brother said she had gone home, but I was a little worried."
"What is your name?"
"White cotton."
"The Bai family?" Shi Chengxuan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
"Well, we are junior high school alumni and have known each other for many years." Few people knew about her relationship with Bai Mian before. There is a big difference in their personalities. Tang Susu is quiet and low-key, while Bai Mian prefers to be lively and high-profile.
They would become good friends, which is amazing to say.
After Tang Susu finished speaking, Shi Chengxuan didn't say anything again, and didn't say whether he wanted to help her or not.
It wasn't until the car drove outside the community where she lived, when she was unbuckling her seat belt, that Shi Chengxuan suddenly asked, "Can you cook?"
Tang Susu turned to look at him blankly, and replied subconsciously, "Yes."
"Take me to dinner."
"..." You're really welcome.
However, Tang Susu did not refuse in the end, making him successfully enter the room again.
She has bought vegetables and meat at home. Tang Susu's craftsmanship is so-so, and the dishes she cooks are not too bad. When she is busy in the kitchen, Shi Chengxuan sits on the sofa watching TV and makes phone calls.
After the meal was ready, it was already an hour later, because there was one more person, she usually had to cook three dishes and add a pot of soup to solve the battle with one meal and one dish.
