He did not reply again, Su Hao took a toothpick, started eating fruit, ate a little and was full, she closed the lid, lay down preparing for a nap. The phone rang again, it was Su Qian sending WeChat.
Su Qian: Hao Hao, how do you feel on the first day of work? Did Zhou Yang go to the company?
Su Hao: Feels pretty good, he went to the company, just went down to eat.
Su Qian reacted, mentioning Zhou Yang again.
Sigh.
Su Qian: That’s good, in a couple of days it’s the weekend, remember to come home for meals.
Su Hao: Okay, if not working overtime, I will come over.
Su Qian: Mm hmm.
The two chatted a little more, Su Hao put away the phone, and started her nap.
The afternoon had quite a lot of things. Su Hao kept following Chen Yu to work, occasionally helping Lu Mimi do statistics. Lu Mimi worked swiftly and efficiently, very neat. Su Hao followed her, a little nervous, afraid of making mistakes. Lu Mimi divided Su Hao into the same category as Chen Yu, said: “You, just by looking, are not suitable to do accounting, you’re only suitable to do cashier work with Chen Yu!”
Su Hao smiled, looked down and worked.
Ignored her.
Lu Mimi snorted coldly, threw the work in her hands to Su Hao.
Always the cashier handles money, the accountant handles the accounts, but the top positions are basically from accounting. Lu Mimi looked like a slightly ambitious girl.
During lunch break, Chen Yu added Su Hao into a group.
The group was named [When Will Love Come (6)]
Su Hao: …….
The group was all employees of Feijie company, Lu Mimi and Chen Yu seemed to not get along, but were also in the group. Lu Mimi sent seven or eight photos in a row.
Clicked to see.
It was photos of Zhou Yang eating at the second-floor cafeteria with Miss Li. Around several executives, General Manager Zeng and Assistant Lu were also there. Just a bit far away.
Miss Li ordered steak, but seemed not used to it, poked at the steak with a fork, eyebrows showing grievance.
Zhou Yang leaned on the chair, sipped coffee, expression lazy, indifferent.
But handsome man and beautiful woman, very pleasing to the eyes.
Tang Yaoyao: Is this Miss Li the one from the Li family?
Guan Qian: Yes, exactly that Li family, all prestigious families.
Chen Yu: How long has she been chasing Mr. Zhou? I can’t remember.
Tang Yaoyao: About half a year, Mr. Zhou, such a romantic man, can he survive a half-year gap? Or is he getting pickier?
Lu Mimi: Heh, maybe played enough?
Chen Yu: Obviously, almost succeeded.
Lu Mimi: Pfft.
The two started a little quarrel in the group again, Su Hao saw this, quietly set the group to no notifications, then left the chat group.
At this time it was mid-month, things were not too much, and I finished work at six. Su Hao followed Chen Yu downstairs, Chen Yu asked Su Hao: “Where do you live?”
Su Hao remembered the community name: “Living in Huahui.”
“Huahui! You actually rented there? Then your work is very close.” Chen Yu looked envious, Su Hao smiled: “Pretty close, lucky.”
“Sigh, I have to take forty-five minutes by subway every time, from here you turn, go through the underground walkway, then turn again and you can get to your place, very close, if you know how to walk, ten minutes.” Chen Yu pointed at a sidewalk on a main road, showing Su Hao.
Su Hao was grateful in her heart, “Thanks, I took a taxi in the morning.”
“So close, only start price then.”
“Yes.”
The two chatted a while, Su Hao watched Chen Yu enter the subway, then turned onto the main road, following Chen Yu’s directions.
Sure enough, soon arrived at the Huahui community.
She conveniently bought groceries at the neighboring supermarket, prepared to cook tonight, just reached the stair entrance, WeChat rang, she looked down.
Zhou Yang: He will be at your place in half an hour.
Who?
Su Hao was stunned for a few seconds, then realized it was the man Zhou Yang introduced at noon. She just noticed a few minutes ago, someone added her on WeChat.
She hadn’t looked at the phone, and didn’t accept.
She clicked accept.
Name: Shen He.
Su Hao took a breath, looked at this person’s profile picture, then glanced at the adjacent Zhou Yang’s profile picture, mood gradually calmed down.
So many years.
Things to forget, must forget.
She walked a few steps faster upstairs, put the groceries in the fridge, looked at her clothes, for politeness, still changed, went into the master bedroom, changed into a little black dress, these clothes Liao Yun had taken her to buy before departure.
After changing, the phone rang.
She bent to pick it up.
Shen He: Su Hao, dinner together tonight? I’m almost there.
Su Hao, stunned, typed.
Su Hao: Okay, message me when you arrive.
Shen He: Okay.
Holding the phone, Su Hao stood for a while, then went to the balcony, looked out, unfortunately the balcony faced the inside of the community, only the kitchen window could see the street outside, her mood was calm, but still a bit flustered, turned around, picked up small bag, didn’t want to make him wait, Su Hao went out.
Not really wearing high heels, these shoes were low-heeled, at this time, sunset, afterglow hung midair, Su Hao checked her phone several times.
Soon, a black Mercedes arrived at the community entrance.
Beep beep.
Su Hao’s phone also rang, she looked up.
Saw a young man in the car leaning on the seat back, smiling at her, clear and handsome, the one Zhou Yang sent earlier, she walked toward the car.
From a distance, her black dress flowed, the wind quite strong, slightly swinging, yet made skin look very fair. Shen cleared throat, quickly got out, opened the car door for her, Su Hao paused, and whispered: “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Shen replied, cheerful, and turned to the driver seat.
He… liked this kind of soft-spoken gentle woman.
Got her!
Inside the car was a faint perfume scent, Su Hao sat quietly, driver seat door opened, Shen He got in, smiled and asked: “Hao Hao, want to eat what?”
Su Hao glanced at Shen He, hesitated, and said: “Anything is fine.”
“Sorry, I haven’t talked with you before, just asked you out to eat. I live in Jingdu. This time I came to help my brother-in-law handle some things. I took the chance to come, and wanted to see you before leaving.”
“It’s okay.”
“Sudden?”
“Not really.”
“That’s good, on the way here, I was afraid you wouldn’t come down.”
“Won’t.”
Su Hao’s replies are concise, but voice is really gentle. In the car besides faint perfume, her voice is most attractive. Shen He gripped the steering wheel.
Zhou Yang’s introduction is never wrong.
Picked according to his taste.
The car entered the main road, afterglow fading, gray clouds rose, covering half the sky. Su Hao held a small bag, looked at traffic, then outside the window, hesitated, said: “Do you know my situation?”
She asked nervously.
But mother’s instructions and worry made her not timid.
Although the previous part was not her wish, in mother’s heart, it was always an unpassed hurdle.
Su Hao understood mother’s feelings.
Also respected her thoughts, so willing to step out and try.
“Know, what era now, Hao Hao, don’t mind those, I don’t mind.” Shen He looked at her, a handsome face full of sincerity.
Su Hao instantly relaxed, smiled at him.
Shen He was dazzled by this smile, and a while later looked away.
The car atmosphere became even better, Su Hao looked at this big city, hand lightly on the windowsill. Shen He, following Su Qian’s advice, arranged a not too fancy but very good Cantonese restaurant, took Su Hao to eat, Shen He thought Su Hao would be just gentle, but unexpectedly, during meal, she also took care of people, most importantly, when he spoke, she always propped chin to listen, very focused.
Eyes beautiful, like stars.
Just listening to him speak.
Seeming very admiring of him, Shen He’s mood was even better.
Although Shen He was a bit jumpy, Su Hao asked if didn’t understand, Shen He enthusiastically explained.
Midway.
While Su Hao went to the bathroom.
Shen He sent WeChat to Zhou Yang.
Shen He: My god, Brother Zhou Yang, Hao Hao is really amazing, I like her so much ahhhhh.
Zhou Yang: Oh?
Shen He: Very grateful.
Zhou Yang: Only met once, like her so much? Maybe you have never seen a woman.
Shen He: Not at all! You don’t understand.
There, Zhou Yang didn’t reply. Su Hao just returned, Shen He put down phone, eyes glanced at the watch, still time.
He asked: “Hao Hao, do you play billiards?”
Su Hao sat down, took tissue to wipe hands, glanced at him, shook head: “No.”
“Then I teach you?”
“Okay.”
Su Hao glanced at the phone, still early.
“Let’s go.” Shen decided immediately, reached for cue, found cue gone, looked at Su Hao, Su Hao picked up a small bag, said: “This meal I treat, next you treat.”
Give and take, won’t make him lose face.
Shen He was stunned, smiled: “Okay.”
Su Hao smiled slightly, followed his side, talking, walking out of the restaurant, next door was Starry Sky Club. Shen He took Su Hao in, explained club rules.
Shen He booked a second-floor private room, went in, gave cue to Su Hao, Su Hao quickly put down a small bag, took it, Shen He also took one, raised an eyebrow mischievously: “I cleared the table balls, guess how long?”
Su Hao politely replied: “Surely very fast.”
Shen He’s brow lit up, looked at her several times, hm hm smiled. Cue raised, played while chatting.
At this time, private room door pushed by long fingers holding cigarette, Zhou Yang’s long eyes scanned inside, immediately saw Su Hao holding cue, elegant, yet with unexplainable charm, gently watching Shen He strike, occasionally smiled nodding, saw Shen He pot the ball, eyes slightly lit, perfectly satisfying man’s vanity.
Seeing Shen He’s expression, I knew he was proud.
Others behind are also present.
Li Yi’s voice low: “This is that Su Hao? A man being so admired, can he endure?”
Cigarette tip snapped a little in the wind, Zhou Yang looked at the woman in a little black dress, room dim, woman like water, in her eyes, only Shen He existed, willing to be soft for him.
Author’s note: Half Cabbage Shakes Legs: Oh, this person is eating back the words said. Applause.
