Chapter 73 Chapter 73 Haicheng Trivia

It was said to be late autumn, but there was already a hint of winter. It was almost dawn when Xu Sui opened his eyes in a daze. His long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly, and he squinted at the figure not far away.

A little light shone through the gap between the curtains on both sides and fell on the bed sheet. Xu Sui could vaguely see the outline of the person in front of him.

"It's still early, sleep a little longer." Song Shiyang noticed Xu Sui's movement behind him, buttoned up his clothes and walked over.

"What time is it?" Xu Sui's voice was a little hoarse, and he sounded sleepy.

"I'll take you to the airport." Xu Sui rubbed his eyes and was about to get up, but was stopped by Song Shiyang.

He knelt on one knee on the edge of the bed and whispered, "No, I'll go by myself. You sleep a little longer and be good."

After saying that, he arranged the pillow he had brought last night and placed it next to Xu Sui. He patted it and said with a smile, "I'm not taking this pillow back. I'll leave it here."

Xu Sui slowly turned his head and looked at the pillow under Song Shiyang's hand: "Huh?"

Having slept late last night, Xu Sui felt a little dizzy now. He didn’t quite understand the meaning of his actions and looked at Song Shiyang in confusion.

Song Shiyang didn't explain much, lowered his head and wanted to kiss Xu Sui.

Xu Sui reacted quickly, covering his mouth and mumbling, "No, I didn't brush my teeth."

"I'm brushing my teeth." Song Shiyang whispered, then pulled Xu Sui's hand away, leaned over and kissed Xu Sui, then leaned over to whisper in her ear: "Sleep a little longer, I'm leaving first."

Seeing Xu Sui's messy hair, Song Shiyang couldn't help but rub it hard, then he quickly pulled away. After seeing Xu Sui lying down again, he walked to the door and gently closed it.

Xu Sui originally wanted to send Song Shiyang to the airport, but found that he really couldn't get up, so he obediently lay back in bed and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, it was already 7:30 in the morning.

Occasionally there was some noise outside. It was the cook making breakfast.

Xu Sui took a while to get up from the bed. After changing his clothes, he looked down at his mobile phone. The first thing that caught his eye was a message from Song Shiyang. He reported his itinerary to Xu Sui at 7:20, saying that he had arrived at the airport and was waiting for the flight.

He even told Xu Sui which waiting room he was in.

Xu Sui lowered his head and chuckled, tapping the screen quickly with his fingertips, sent a "Got it." Then he closed the screen and went out to brush his teeth.

Her house does not have a separate toilet or bathroom. It is a three-bedroom, one-living room design. Two bedrooms are used as bedrooms, one is used as a study, and the bathroom is outside.

Xu Sui walked into the living room. The cook was busy in the kitchen. Xu Sui went into the bathroom. As soon as she entered, she saw a black toothbrush and toothbrush cup placed there, next to her pink toothbrush cup.

There was also an extra towel on the shelf, and next to it was her towel.

These are all Song Shiyang's.

But he only took the pillow when he came last night, so these were all brought by him this morning.

He was gradually infiltrating into her life, into her territory.

Xu Sui paused, took a few steps forward, picked up the toothbrush and started squeezing toothpaste, then looked up at himself in the mirror and began brushing his teeth.

The woman in the mirror doesn't look very old. After all, you can't guess her exact age just by looking at her face. She's wearing a school uniform, so some people might believe she's a student.

Her soft hair fell to her shoulders, her face had the sleepiness of just waking up, but also the tenderness of being in love.

It looks great after all.

After a while, the woman in the mirror suddenly smiled with curved eyebrows.

Xu Sui arrived at Haidian ten minutes early. At that time, most of the company's people had arrived. The editor-in-chief suddenly said that he wanted to have a meeting. Xu Sui took his laptop and documents and went to the general meeting room with Shi Miao and others.

The process was similar to the previous one, summarizing the old topics, starting new ones, and making specific arrangements. During the period, they talked about the interview with "Butterfly Baby", and Editor-in-Chief Zhai praised Xu Sui without hesitation.

Xu Sui stood up and thanked him.

At the end of the meeting, Editor-in-Chief Zhai mentioned the document that was sent to the group yesterday, and suggested that everyone should sign up if they can, and it’s not a big deal to take a look.

Xu Sui lowered her head to look at the documents and didn't pay attention to what he was saying. She always managed to grasp the key points and could automatically filter out words like this.

When the meeting was finally over, she followed behind and suddenly heard someone calling her. The voice was familiar, it was the editor-in-chief.

"Xiao Xu, please come to my office later."

Editor-in-Chief Zhai is in his early fifties. He graduated from Q University with a degree in journalism. He has been in the industry for decades and has absolute journalistic acumen and professionalism.

"Okay." Xu Sui nodded, turned sideways and walked out with Shi Miao and He Zhao.

"Is the editor-in-chief looking for you to discuss the professional title evaluation?" Shi Miao asked in a low voice after returning to his workstation.

Xu Sui shook his head: "I don't know either. Aren't you planning to start another small project recently? I guess you're talking about this?"

"How is that possible? This year's task has been completed. This small project is for interns to practice. You are not needed at all." Shi Miao raised his chin towards the intern who was typing documents not far away.

Xu Sui looked over and saw his two interns, then shook his head and lowered his head to write.

Next year will be Xu Sui's fifth year in news editing after obtaining the title of reporter, and he has reached the standard for being evaluated as a chief reporter. Every year, people of different ages in the station are evaluated for professional titles or transferred to better radio stations.

This is why many people are trying their best to join Haidian, because those who can get in basically have a bright future.

When Xu Sui got off work at seven o'clock in the evening, she was still thinking about what the editor-in-chief had said to her in the morning.

He asked her if she wanted to transfer to CCTV.

As soon as this question was asked, Xu Sui felt like he was about to stop breathing, but he just mentioned it briefly and then started talking about the evaluation of professional titles.

Xu Sui got into the car, a little absent-minded.

It’s difficult to get into CCTV.

But it would be much easier if there was a recommendation from the leaders of Haidian.

But Xu Sui knew very clearly that this matter could not be accomplished for the time being.

Because she is still far from being a senior journalist and does not have many outstanding achievements.

We still need to work hard on everything.

Xu Sui looked down at her phone. Jiang Changjia had sent her a message asking her if she knew that Song Shiyang had a girlfriend.

And he recounted the conversation he had with Song Shiyang last night.

"It's so late, and there's a woman's voice. You know what, that voice is quite nice. I guess they are living together." Jiang Changjia vowed.

Xu Sui's mind cleared instantly. He was about to type and say a few words tentatively when he saw Jiang Changjia send another voice message: "But that's normal. He's almost 26 years old. If he doesn't get a girlfriend, I really think he's gay."

The last sentence was pronounced correctly. Xu Sui was embarrassed and explained: "His sexual orientation should be quite normal."

After all, I had a deep experience last night.

Xu Sui was just about to say something to pave the way so that she could tell Jiang Changjia that she was with Song Shiyang, but Jiang Changjia sent her a message just as she typed a word.

I asked her when she would have her holiday and when she would return to Chongqing to celebrate the New Year.

Jiang Changjia had finished her studies in Country M and should have returned, but her father had the intention to cooperate with a company in Country M. Since Jiang Changjia happened to be in Country M, he gave this matter to her to practice.

She said she would probably be able to return to Chongqing a few days later this year.

With this interruption, Xu Sui forgot what he was going to say and followed Jiang Changjia's rhythm.

Xu Sui: [This year should be similar to last year, with a holiday around the 10th day of the twelfth lunar month.]

It was already very cold in Chongqing at that time.

It has snowed for several rounds.

Thinking of Shu Siyun's wedding at the end of this year, Xu Sui thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Song Shiyang, asking him if he would return to Chongqing this year.

She did not forget that Song Shiyang's parents were not in Yu City.

I have forgotten which class in high school it was after.

I only remember that she was sitting in her seat as usual, doing her homework. There were a few girls chatting around her. They didn't speak loudly, but it was very noisy with each other talking. Xu Sui thought about it and stopped writing. When she was about to get up and go to the bathroom, she heard the five words "Song Shiyang's dad".

So he stopped getting up and went back to his old position, pretending to be doing something else and listening attentively.

"Hey, how do you know that Song Shiyang's father is Uncle Li Ling's former boss?" a girl asked curiously.

"My aunt works in the government. She witnessed the mayor's change of term with her own eyes. And that incident a while ago was such a big deal." The girl being asked crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by people.

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of several girls changed slightly. They exchanged glances, looked at Xu Sui's back, frowned and shook their heads.

The girl who was speaking then noticed Xu Sui sitting in front of her on the left and immediately fell silent.

Xu Sui’s back stiffened.

"Wow, your aunt is so awesome. Do you know where Song Shiyang's father was transferred to?" Someone spoke up to break the brief silence. The girl who had crossed her arms immediately took her hands down and motioned the people around her to come over.

Their voices were very low and it was really noisy during the break, so Xu Sui couldn't hear them clearly.

I only heard a short scream behind me, but it suddenly stopped, as if someone was covering my mouth.

For some reason, Xu Sui suddenly recalled this memory. She looked at the time. It was early morning in Country M, so she didn't send the message.

**

Song Shiyang's business trip was originally planned to end in one month, but due to a sudden change in plan, he had to transfer to Western Europe to attend a seminar jointly held by several Western European universities.

I can’t come back for the time being.

Xu Sui felt a little disappointed when he heard the news, but he still reluctantly accepted it. After all, he was not going there for fun, but for the launch of a special medicine.

In fact, she had already prepared herself mentally, ready for the fact that they would be separated frequently.

Because journalists and scientific researchers are two people who are often busy with their jobs.

I go wherever there are journalists. Although I work from 9 to 5, I am usually on call and overtime is inevitable.

Xu Sui has been busy with his professional title evaluation recently, meeting industry leaders with the editor-in-chief, and attending banquets that he normally wouldn't be able to attend many times a year.

Prepare materials and start project planning for next year.

One time, Editor-in-Chief Zhai suddenly asked, "Xiao Xu, what do you think of our Zhai Luo?"

The fact that Zhai Luo was his nephew had long been no secret in the station.

Xu Sui, who was walking behind him, was startled when he heard this, then immediately said, "Very good. Although Zhai Luo is still in the internship period, he is no worse than a regular employee. In the future, he will definitely become an excellent reporter like you."

Editor-in-Chief Zhai suddenly laughed heartily and praised Xu Sui: "You are really talented. Forget it. Young people have their own ideas. I won't get involved."

After saying that, he waved his hand and walked forward. Xu Sui smiled lightly and hurriedly followed.

The day before New Year's Day, Xu Sui received another bouquet of flowers, which was much bigger than the last time. The first time he saw it, Xu Sui knew who sent it.

It was almost exactly the same as the first bouquet of flowers Song Shiyang gave her, except that it was much bigger, an enlarged version. After the courier left, Xu Sui walked in while looking down at the card.

"I wish my dear reporter Xu a happy New Year and a happy day. Also, don't forget to put on more clothes and drink hot water when it's cold."

Seeing the last sentence, Xu Sui couldn't help but chuckle, and walked into the office holding the bouquet of flowers with extremely harmonious colors.

Everyone in the office was used to it. After all, Xu Sui had collected a lot of things in the past two months.

But everyone only knew that Xu Sui had a very rich boyfriend, but no one had ever seen him.

There are a lot of gossips in the station, and naturally there are people who make malicious speculations, wondering if Xu Sui is hooking up with a rich man.

But Xu Sui didn't take it to heart.

Liu Lingling happened to be walking past Xu Sui. She glanced at the flowers on Xu Sui's desk, covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled, saying, "Miss Xu, you've received quite a lot of things these days. I wonder which rich second-generation is chasing you."

Xu Sui looked calm and ignored her. Almost everyone in the station knew about Xu Sui's recent job title evaluation, and based on her performance in recent years, she was expected to be in a stable position. In addition, the editor-in-chief would occasionally take Xu Sui out to meet some bigwigs in the news industry. Liu Lingling had been jealous for a long time.

I finally got a chance to talk to you today, so I have to say something.

"This is a gift from my boyfriend Suisui." Shi Miao replied.

"Who knows if it's my boyfriend or..." She didn't finish her words and looked at Xu Sui meaningfully, leaving room for imagination. Someone was attracted by the movement here and looked over.

Xu Sui was troubled by her and said vaguely, "Whatever you think." Then he lowered his head and went back to work.

Her indifferent look really annoyed Liu Lingling. She glared at Xu Sui and left in her high heels.

The next day, Xu Sui got up in the morning and mentioned this to Song Shiyang during a video call. At that time, the man on the other end of the phone was leaning on a soft couch in a hotel abroad reading a book.

Hearing this, he slightly raised his eyelids and looked towards the camera, his lips slightly raised, and he said word by word: "That lady thinks too highly of me. Just because she gave me some gifts, I am considered a rich second generation. I can't bear this title."

"I'm just an ordinary citizen. I'll have to rely on reporter Xu for support in the future." He chuckled and approached the camera. His face was enlarged in an instant, his handsome features suddenly came closer, and his pink lips swept across the camera.

Xu Sui stared at the screen without blinking. At that moment, he was absolutely certain that Song Shiyang was the enchanting fairy in Liao Zhai.

Fox demon.

At this moment, she was the panicked and helpless scholar.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Song Fox Shi Yang said.

Xu Sui shook his head, picked up a topic, and asked: "Are you going back to Yu City to celebrate the New Year this year?"

"Yes, but the specific time is not clear yet. Why, can't wait to meet my parents with me?" He said casually, his fingertips passing through the pages of the book.

As soon as these words came out, Xu Sui rolled his eyes and said bluntly: "I will go back as soon as the holiday comes. I won't wait for you to go back with me."

Song Shiyang frowned slightly on the other end of the phone. He calculated the upcoming schedule in his mind and thought he should be able to make it back in time, but he was also worried about any unexpected situations, so he replied: "Okay, set a time and tell me. Take care of yourself."

"Okay, bye."
