The living room lights were quite bright, the staircase light was orange, a small lamp, hung on the wall, Su Hao just stood under this lamp, she was silent for a few seconds, then turned around, returned upstairs, stood at the stair entrance for a while, only then went to press the elevator.
The home elevator was not big, once inside, the door closed, she reached out to press the third-floor button.
The elevator ascended.
She thought of that year’s Zhou Yang, the Zhou Yang she pursued, she was naturally reserved, gentle and obedient, but had never liked a man so much, to the point of directly pursuing him, doing quite a lot of things not very in line with her personality, and was laughed at by quite a few people, she also did not think she would fail.
But she did fail.
At that time, she could not see Zhou Yang’s posture clearly.
Tonight.
She could see clearly.
Indeed, forcibly twisted melons are not sweet.
So that was the reason.
She… was not the type he liked.
Also, putting aside the difference in status, the experiences the two had seen were also different.
Her hair was still damp, the elevator reached the third floor, the elevator door opened, then closed again, Su Hao pressed the button back to the first floor, soon, the elevator descended, heading to the first floor.
Arriving at the first floor, the elevator door opened.
Given that little bit of time, they should have finished talking, right?
Su Hao took a deep breath, walked out.
By the living room wine cabinet, Su Qian and Zhou Yang were standing there, Zhou Yang had a coat draped over his hand, leaning against the wine cabinet, talking with Su Qian. Noticing Su Hao coming down, Zhou Yang scanned over here, slightly smiled, stopped his topic, Su Qian turned her head, saw Su Hao, immediately walked over: “You washed your hair, why not dry it? Come, come, come, Auntie will help you dry it.”
Su Hao held her hair, said: “I couldn’t find the hair dryer.”
“Silly girl, it’s on the bedside table, the second one, didn’t even look for it.” Su Qian pulled Su Hao, walking toward the floor-to-ceiling window, no longer paying attention to her son.
Su Hao did not ask Su Qian to help, took it herself, lowered her head and turned on the hair dryer.
The tall man beside the wine cabinet took a cigarette, bit it, went to the entrance to change shoes, casually took the car keys, opened the door, and left.
The door closed with a light sound.
Inside the house it was just Su Hao and Su Qian, the hair dryer whirring loudly, Su Hao started drying her hair, Su Qian stood beside, smiling and giving guidance: “There’s still some at the back, don’t blow too close, it’s not good for the scalp.”
Su Hao obediently moved a little farther.
That night, Su Qian took Su Hao to stroll in the backyard, also went to see the swimming pool and her sea of rose flowers, the backyard also had an annex, the first-floor door of the annex was tightly closed, Su Qian spoke excitedly: “This house is all Zhou Yang’s stuff, all sorts of airplane models and so on.”
Su Hao glanced at the annex, hummed.
Su Qian realized she talked too much, looked at Su Hao, saw Su Hao’s expression was natural, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
After touring the backyard, they returned to the main house. Soon, Zhou Yang’s father, Zhou Qinkai, returned, saw Su Hao, he smiled: “Long time no see, Su Hao.”
“Hello, Uncle Zhou.”
He hung up his coat, smiling: “Although it looks a bit thinner.”
“Indeed, I already said she’s thinner.”
Not only thinner, Su Hao’s temperament had become calmer, no longer the innocence from years ago, a subtle hint of femininity, a look showing she had been through hardships.
When Zhou Qinkai returned, Su Qian showed some little-woman feelings. Su Hao didn’t want to disturb, using the excuse that she needed to sleep, left the first floor, and returned to the second-floor room.
The curtains were open, she went over and pulled them shut, lay back on the bed, opened WeChat, chatted with her mother for a while, then sent messages to her best friend.
Liao Liao: How is Li Cheng?
Su Hao: Haven’t toured yet, many high-rise buildings.
Liao Liao: First-tier city, definitely different.
Su Hao: Come over during National Day.
Liao Liao: That also depends on you settling in first, only then I dare to come, will you stay at their house?
Su Hao: No.
Liao Liao: Not staying is good, that Zhou Yang, is he still as handsome? Married yet?
Su Hao: Don’t know, I didn’t ask.
Liao Liao: Also, no need to ask.
Liao Yun wanted to ask if Su Hao still liked that person, but ultimately didn’t, logically, after so many years, any affection would have long changed.
Moreover, Su Hao had experienced a relationship.
She slept until dawn, woke up holding her phone, last night chatting with Liao Yun, forgot to put the phone down, the bedside phone rang, Su Hao reached out and answered.
Su Qian’s voice came: “Hao Hao, awake yet?”
“Just woke up.”
“Good, quickly wash up, then come down for breakfast.”
“Okay.”
Hung up, Su Hao got out of bed, first pulled the curtains to let sunlight in, then went to the bathroom to wash up, came out, changed into a floral dress, wore slippers and went downstairs, in the dining room, only Su Qian was there, boredly eating fruit, saw Su Hao coming down, immediately waved: “Come.”
Su Hao smiled, walked over, sat down.
The table was full of Chinese breakfast. She ate porridge, asked Su Qian: “Where is uncle?”
“Went to the company, left early in the morning.” Su Qian peeled a boiled egg for Su Hao, and said: “After breakfast, Auntie will accompany you to look at apartments.”
Su Hao took the egg, said: “I want to find it myself.”
Su Qian looked up at Su Hao.
Su Hao smiled slightly.
She knew Su Qian would definitely arrange a house for her, but that wasn’t good, she wasn’t here to enjoy life, but to work. Su Qian glared at her, “Okay, got it, your choice, I haven’t rented a house before either, today we’ll try.”
Just as she finished speaking, a tall man came in, both turned to look, Zhou Yang loosened his shirt collar, just entered, his long eyes swept over, said: “After breakfast, I’ll take you to see the apartment.”
“Do you have a good place?” Su Qian’s eyes lit up.
Zhou Yang changed shoes, stood straight, lazily smiled: “She’s going to work at my company, naturally we need to find somewhere close to the office, recently found a set there.”
“Great.” Su Qian looked at Su Hao, Su Hao wiped her lip corner with her finger, said to Zhou Yang: “Thanks.”
Her tone is gentle, wearing a floral dress, sitting there, fairly fair-skinned. Zhou Yang nodded, unbuttoned his sleeve, walked toward the stairs, Su Qian stared at him, after a few seconds asked: “Where did you stay last night? Didn’t I stay over at Yi Wan?”
Zhou Yang casually glanced over, smiled a little mischievously: “What? Mom, are you checking?”
Su Qian glared.
He smiled again, turned and went upstairs.
Soon, Zhou Yang came downstairs, wearing a black shirt and pants, sleeves rolled up, sat down to eat breakfast, Su Hao and Su Qian had already finished, the two talking in low voices, he had a faint shower scent, seems same as the one Su Hao used, maybe this house uses this brand.
Su Hao stood up, said: “Auntie, I’ll get my suitcase.”
Su Qian was a bit stunned, wanted to keep her, but paused, a bit regretful: “So soon?”
Su Hao pulled out her chair, smiled: “This way it’s convenient to pack.”
“Okay.”
Su Hao walked toward the stairs, skirt brushed past Zhou Yang’s pants as she turned, went upstairs. She hadn’t taken all her clothes out, slightly tidied them, pressed them inside, closed, suitcase ready to lift, took the elevator down, Zhou Yang had already finished eating, biting an apple, stood up, turned to take Su Hao’s suitcase.
He was tall, once came over, blocked much light, Su Hao instinctively stepped back slightly, keeping distance.
Zhou Yang glanced at her, raised eyebrows, then walked toward the door.
Su Hao turned, hugged Su Qian, Su Qian’s eyes reddened seeing her obedient and gentle: “Living at home isn’t bad? I could even introduce you to a boyfriend…”
Su Hao wiped Su Qian’s eyes, said: “Auntie, I need to be independent, right?”
“Aren’t you already independent?” Su Qian said, increasingly heartbroken, touched Su Hao’s face: “Boyfriend also must find, know? Don’t only focus on work.”
“Okay, okay.” Su Hao smiled and agreed.
Su Qian said again: “Then I won’t see you off, if at the company you feel wronged, you must tell me, or… tell Zhou Yang also okay.”
“Okay, okay, okay.” Su Hao kept agreeing.
They tugged a little, Su Qian finally let go, Su Hao went down the steps, Zhou Yang had finished a cigarette, sitting in the driver’s seat, long hand dangling outside the window, cigarette stub extinguished. He looked over, Su Hao nodded at him, then opened the rear door and got in, the air conditioning in the car was cool.
The door closed, she waved to Su Qian.
Zhou Yang was not interested in the sticky emotions of women, directly started the car, drove out, left the villa area, entered the main road, large trees on both sides shaded the sun, less sunlight in the car, Su Hao looked at this unfamiliar city, and a resume was handed over.
She was stunned for a moment, and took it.
Zhou Yang in front lit a cigarette, said: “This resume my assistant helped make, have a look.”
“You have no work experience, and can only start as a finance assistant.”
Su Hao opened and glanced roughly.
A very formal resume, if it were herself, might not be able to make it, she hummed: “Thank you, this resume is very good.”
“Tomorrow go directly to the company to report.” The man bit the cigarette, voice a bit muffled, low and deep, very pleasant, tone lazy as usual.
Su Hao: “Mm.”
Soon, the car arrived at the city center, Su Hao turned and saw the CBD building, amidst high-rises, could see a flying logo.
Zhou Yang tapped the window with his finger, said: “The red flying logo, that one, is Feijie, a subsidiary of Zhou Group.”
“Your workplace.”
Su Hao leaned forward, stared at that spot, hummed.
Then the car turned, entered a smaller road, among high-rises, an older residential area, not very old, but compared to nearby buildings, looked older, the car stopped at the entrance, Zhou Yang got out, opened the trunk, took out the suitcase.
Su Hao quickly got out, walked over.
Zhou Yang carried the suitcase to the stairs, put it down, said: “Cannot park here, go straight up, on the third floor 301, key is in the door, I paid, you stay first.”
Su Hao nodded, took the suitcase handle, carried it up, walked a few steps, and the man’s deep voice sounded behind: “Wait a moment.”
Su Hao turned.
Zhou Yang’s long leg on the first step, hand holding the phone, smiled and asked: “What type of man do you like?”
“I’ll keep an eye out for you.”
He smiled, as if not afraid her answer leaned toward him. Even if her answer was him, he could find her a man like him, anyway, not himself.
At this moment, Su Hao seemed to see through him, silent for a few seconds, and said: “All fine.”
