Su Tu's temperament was indifferent,理性(rational) and self-restrained. The only time she lost control was on New Year's Eve, with nowhere to go, she got carelessly drunk and made a call....
Chapter 15 Chapter 15 Beautiful body.
Su Tu discovered.
It seems like ever since I met him, my social death has never stopped...
It was quite subtle before, and I could usually just keep silent and play dumb about it, but today she brought it to the table personally, and there was no way to dodge it.
As a result, the originally anxious mood caused by the tight schedule had to be relaxed.
The two sat facing each other in silence in the conference room.
The stalemate has lasted for more than two minutes...
Obviously.
If we don't make things clear first, there's no way we can discuss today's plan.
Su Tu sighed silently, tightened his hands on his knees, and finally said with a stiff upper lip: "...I'm sorry."
Shi Shu seemed a little confused: "What?"
She raised her head cautiously and said awkwardly, "Just what I just said."
Using you as a shield...
Then I don’t know if it was an illusion.
After hearing this explanation, Shi Shu's expression, which had originally been a little stiff, suddenly sank a little: "Which sentence?"
Su Tu was stunned: "..."
So, angry?
She recalled it carefully.
It seems to be true...but I am too embarrassed to say it again.
But logically speaking, even if her intentions were not pure, she continued to speak in accordance with Yang Hao's words in order to achieve a quick victory.
But none of the words just said were not praise for him, right?
She pursed her lips.
For a moment I wasn't sure what he was thinking about.
But seeing that his explanations were fruitless, he simply changed his tactics and laid it bare: "Alright."
"I do like you."
Shi Shu's eyelashes trembled: "..."
My chest skipped a beat, as if I was being held hostage by this sudden turn of events.
But the next second, she looked calm and met his gaze, saying, "This is normal."
"Zhao Xuan and the others all like you very much, and there are so many swimming fans out there. Having me as one more person won't make any difference, right?"
Shi Shu: “…”
Like a fish that accidentally caught a bait and was then irresponsibly released, he frowned slightly, and suddenly felt an irrational reluctance: "It's different."
Su Tu was stunned: "......?"
What's the difference?
Motivation?
She looked confused.
Under his unreasonable cold gaze, she reflected on herself secretly.
Although...she did...
I admired his impressive muscles once in the middle of the night...
But in essence, can it also be understood as... respect for the beautiful body?
Let's take a step back.
Even if she knew that he had someone in his heart, hadn't he still not caught up with her?
So even if her true intentions were not pure, her love for him was not the same as everyone else's.
What's the problem?
Thinking of this, I quickly felt more confident.
There was even more calmness in her eyes.
Still ignorant and fearless, he put on a reasonable expression that said, "I'll respect your opinion." He blinked and asked seriously, "Then you..."
"Do you want me to like you, or don't you?"
Shi Shu's eyes paused: "..."
Although Su Tu didn't know why he had changed the topic to such a different level during working hours.
But when she saw his previously calm expression suddenly freeze, his thin lips slightly parted, unable to speak, his broad shoulders erect, a blush creeping upwards from his collar, causing his sharp Adam's apple to twitch slightly...
She just knew it.
The more embarrassed person...doesn't seem to be her.
It was like witnessing an innocent boy seriously rejecting the advances of other members of the opposite sex in order to defend his love.
Besides being dumbfounded, I also felt strangely that it seemed a little cute...
Look.
He had to be so serious and brought the topic here. When she really continued talking about it, he felt embarrassed again.
The air was stagnant.
Su Tu also realized belatedly that his words were a bit blunt. He rubbed his face in embarrassment and changed the subject in a low voice: "Well..."
"How about we look at the plan first?"
Shi Shu didn't let the embarrassment continue.
He frowned and said "hmm" softly.
He knew that she didn't have much time, and he was also sure that she just wanted to get this matter over with as soon as possible so that she could get rid of him and continue with her future work.
But my mood is not at all as depressed as when I came.
She didn't dislike him.
At least.
Get a hint.
Su Tu breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly.
He quickly adjusted his state, manipulated the LCD pen, opened the latest rendering, and then simply sorted out his thoughts and introduced: "Well... this draft is done in the old Qian style."
“A very definite dark tone.”
“While lowering the overall color temperature, the green color is retained in the presentation of green plants.”
"The main theme of the house is a classic combination of gray walnut and light leather furniture. Through spatial division and streamlined design, the visual effect is made more spacious and transparent, while creating a low-key texture and a calm atmosphere..."
She privately thought that this draft was very suitable for his temperament.
Low-key and steady.
It looks solemn at first glance, and it is full of texture upon closer inspection.
So when I turned around and saw his neck calm down after the temperature had cooled, my mood suddenly sank due to this huge difference in feeling. "Still, not satisfied?"
Although she didn't have high expectations this time because of her experience last time.
After all, even he himself didn't know what this home should be designed like, so how could she possibly understand it perfectly?
But after encountering this situation twice in a row, my confidence was somewhat damaged: "What's the reason?"
The corners of the lips still have a slight curve.
There was already a hint of weakness in his eyes.
Shi Shu suddenly felt a little regretful that he didn't postpone the meeting to the weekend.
By then she had finished her report. Even if the plan was rejected, he at least had a reason to use other methods to make up for his "difficulty".
But now think about this.
Obviously it's of no use.
As if worried that the little bit of goodwill he had just accumulated would disappear, he hesitated for a moment before speaking cautiously, "A little too business-like."
It doesn't feel like home.
Instead, it looks like a well-organized CEO's office.
Su Tu opened his lips: "..."
I want to say, but you give people the feeling that this is the case.
Moreover, the concept of home can only be truly established after people move in, right?
You catch up with him as soon as possible.
Wouldn't it be like moving in together?
But all that remained on his lips were these words, faint and inexplicably complaining: "I'm a little curious..."
"Are you really pursuing someone seriously?"
Otherwise, why would it be so difficult to even ask someone what style they like, which can be found out by just a little indirect probing?
“…”
This was the first time in Shi Shu's life that his ability was questioned, and the feeling was really...surprisingly subtle.
He leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands together and thought for a moment.
Then he lifted his eyelids, met her gaze, and asked slowly, "What if she's a little slow?"
He seemed to be lowering his posture, but there was a hidden strength in his eyes. He faced the "problem" slowly and said, "How can I send her to a home in a natural way without scaring her?"
Su Tu's eyelashes trembled: "..."
I suddenly remembered the phone call I made without any context on New Year's Eve.
If the remaining memory wasn't too distorted, then if she kept repeating it all night and couldn't get over it, it should be:
I feel like I have no home anymore.
And the fact that he suddenly asked this question now indirectly confirmed that after he answered the call that night, he just put the phone aside and let her mutter to herself?
Instead of staying by the phone and having a deep conversation with yourself until you lose consciousness.
otherwise.
How could he, knowing that she already had no home, say to her face that he wanted to "give her a home" and cause misunderstanding?
She looked dazed, somewhat helplessly avoiding his gaze, her voice stumbling: "I, I'm not her, how can I know what she's thinking."
But he persisted: "What if you are."
“…”
Su Tu stared at the white table and forced himself to concentrate.
While hesitating, I was able to adopt the mentality of "the client wants you to answer, you have to answer", and slowly substituted the following: "If..."
"Give me this house, what can I do to accept it?"
Shi Shu lowered his eyes: "Yeah."
Wait and see her.
Su Tu thought under pressure.
I soon realized that this question didn't seem difficult: "It should be quite simple."
I just immersed myself in thinking about it for a while, and I accidentally got myself into it.
Amidst her hesitation, her eyes and eyebrows were instinctively filled with anticipation: "Just bring the property certificate and take me to transfer the ownership."
A 520 square meter luxury house in the city center.
If someone is willing to give it to her, just say it directly. Why bother to go through all kinds of ways to get her consent?
How could she have the determination to refuse?
Shi Shu: “…”
Having said that.
If he wants to pursue her seriously, he needs someone to cooperate, right?
"cough……"
Su Tu came back to his senses, feeling embarrassed by his own prostration before wealth. He laughed dryly and tried to make amends: "Well..."
"I probably can't help you with the pursuit."
She spoke faster and got back to business. "But as for the proposal, if you feel the first draft is too casual and the second draft is too rigid, then I'll try to find a middle ground for the next draft and combine them. Is that okay?"
Shi Shu originally wanted to continue this conversation and ask about her preferred style, but now it seems...
His eyes were deep.
He sighed softly as if in compromise: "Okay."
Although the attitude is still mild.
But in Su Tu's opinion, this reaction clearly showed his helplessness towards her work ability.
So when he asked for time again, his expression was inevitably a little cautious: "Then the next draft..."
"It'll probably take me another week."
Shi Shu murmured, "Yeah."
The mentality is not necessarily very calm.
Especially when he thought about how she would look at him if there were any problems with the draft plan, he felt some implicit pressure.
He paused, then suddenly asked her, "Are you free this weekend?"
"ah?"
Su Tu was caught off guard and thought for a moment before saying, "If the report goes smoothly, it will be relatively easy."
Shi Shu nodded: "If everything goes well, are there any arrangements?"
“…”
Su Tu blinked.
Hearing a hint of an invitation, he hesitated: "Not yet."
But I soon realized that he might be worried that I would not be able to do the plan well after repeated rework, so he planned to use his financial power to take me out to eat or play?
Thinking of this, she immediately jokingly resolved the situation: "Don't worry, I will definitely do a good job of the plan."
"If you really feel bad about it, why don't you give me some more time and let me think carefully about what style would be more suitable..."
Before he finished speaking.
Shi Shu agreed directly: "Okay."
“…”
Su Tu was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with trembling eyelashes: "Aren't you in a hurry?"
Shi Shu still hasn't figured out when he had ever sent out such a signal.
So he was so busy that he had to work all night to come up with a plan before he could feel at ease to report?
"Su Tu."
He frowned. It was the first time he called her that, and it was with such a harsh tone. He looked straight into her eyes and said, "When have I ever urged you?"
