Chapter 113 Unromantic
"Of course, then use more, otherwise a box of lychees would be a waste," Xu Songning said with a smile.
Xiang Yun stared at her face, slightly lost in thought, overwhelmed with complex emotions.
Xu Songning waved in front of him to bring him back to his attention, "Brother Yun? What are you daydreaming about?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired. You should rest, I'm going back." Xiang Yun pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes slightly, and looked somewhat tired.
Xu Songning didn't say much. After seeing the person off, she looked at the box of lychees and pondered. Brother Yun probably didn't realize that she was Lili. Otherwise, given his personality, how could he have faced her so calmly?
But how can I repay Brother Yun for being so good to me?
Xu Songning lay on the bed, racking her brains trying to figure out what to buy. Xiang Yun had a high quality of life and seemed to lack nothing.
There doesn't seem to be a reason to give him a gift. I don't know when Xiang Yun's birthday is. If I give it to him as a birthday present, wouldn't that make sense?
Xu Songning couldn't possibly ask Xiang Yun directly, so he went indirectly to ask Gu Xing.
Although this tactic is troublesome and Gu Xing will relentlessly bombard you with gossip, it's effective. Besides Gu Xing, Xu Songning can't think of anyone else to ask.
There was no need to wait for news from Gu Xing; he was on an international flight and it was unclear whether he was currently in China or abroad.
Xu Songning slept until dawn, but Gu Xing still hadn't replied to her message. Instead, she received more than a dozen notifications on her WeChat Moments.
Clicking through, you see messages from her friends praising her. Scrolling down, you see that Xiang Yun liked her post at midnight last night but didn't leave a comment.
She pursed her lips and turned off her phone.
After washing up, Ms. Xu put the noodles on the table and noticed a box of lychees on the corner of the table. She was a little surprised. "Goodness, why is there an extra box of lychees? Did Xiao Xiang come over again yesterday?"
Xu Songning nodded, "Yes, he came over last night and brought me another box to take to my colleagues."
"Wow, you're really going all out! Is he pursuing you?" Ms. Xu asked with a smile.
Xu Songning thought for a moment. Should he pursue her? It didn't seem like it. This was different from other people's routine of getting milk tea, flowers, and being picked up after work. Why was Captain Xiang only giving her the fruits she liked? He wasn't being proactive at all.
However, the fruit is always delicious, so there's no reason for anyone to refuse it.
"Mom, do you think he's pursuing me?"
Ms. Xu wiped her hands, her eyes darting around, and said, "I think he's not as romantic as your ex-boyfriend."
"Hahaha, how can you compare them like that?" Xu Songning couldn't help but laugh.
Ms. Xu knew exactly what was going on, so she just smiled and didn't say anything, urging her to hurry up and eat before going to work.
Xu Songning finished her breakfast on time and stood at the door tying her hair up. Just as she finished tying it up, a knock sounded in her ear.
"Who is it? Goodness, take a look!" Ms. Xu exclaimed.
Xu Songning pinched her half-updo hair with one hand and opened the door with the other, slightly surprised, "Brother Yun?"
Xiang Yun, dressed in a pilot's uniform, stood at the door, looking down at the time. A section of his wrist peeked out from the black sleeve, his naturally fair skin standing out against the black fabric.
When a man clenches his fist, the bulging veins and lines on his wrist accentuate his sex appeal.
Hearing the door open, Xiang Yun naturally looked up and came face to face with Xu Songning, who was wearing a white shirt and a black skirt.
In his memory, Xu Songning rarely wore skirts to work; she preferred comfortable pants.
The skirt seemed tailor-made for her, with every cut perfectly fitting her figure.
The white shirt was neatly tucked into the skirt, the black skirt waistband accentuated her slender waist, and the smooth skirt hugged her legs, covering her knees and revealing her shapely, fair calves.
To match her dress, Xu Songning specially chose a pair of white mid-heeled shoes; the three-centimeter heels made her feet feel less tired.
Of course, she also keeps a pair of flat shoes in her car so she can change shoes whenever she gets tired while driving or going to work.
"I have a flight to take this morning, and I was just wondering if you're going to work, in case you can't carry the lychees." Xiang Yun withdrew his gaze and looked back at her face.
She looks smart and capable in a shirt and trousers, and elegant and charming in a shirt dress; she can pull off any style.
Xu Songning casually clipped her hair back and replied with a smile, "Okay, then will I still drive? Or will Captain Xiang be my driver?"
"We're flying three segments today, landing at 8 PM. Can you wait?" Xiang Yun asked.
"I can wait. I have something to take care of. I'll be waiting for you to pick me up," Xu Songning said softly, a faint smile on her lips.
The two got into Xiang Yun's car. Xiang Yun was somewhat silent the whole way, and Xu Songning didn't take the initiative to start a conversation either, instead looking down at her phone processing work-related information.
Upon arriving at the airport, Xiang Yun helped carry the lychees to the building entrance. "I won't go inside, can I take them?"
Xu Songning nodded confidently, "Yes, I can. How could I be so weak?"
"Okay, I'll contact you again tonight. Wait for me at the airport." Xiang Yun took a few steps back and waved goodbye.
Xu Songning waved, "I'll wait for you to pick me up. Bye-bye."
After Xiang Yun's figure disappeared through the door, Xu Songning tried to lift the lychees, but his arm felt heavy and he almost strained his back.
How many kilograms is this? She almost couldn't lift it.
She stomped her foot. She was wearing mid-heeled shoes today, which made it difficult to carry things. Just as she was about to ask for help, she saw Xiao Jin coming down from the second floor.
"Xiao Jin! Come here." Xu Songning beckoned.
Xiao Jin, holding a board, walked over curiously. "Sister Xu, is something the matter?"
Xu Songning pointed to the lychees at his feet, "Didn't you ask for a link yesterday? There's no link. The lychees were given to me by my neighbor. He heard that some people were craving them, so he asked me to bring them over for you to try."
"Wow! Sister Xu, your neighbor is so generous! Lychees aren't cheap this time of year, they look so fresh!" Xiao Jin exclaimed excitedly.
Xu Songning was pleased. Although it was a compliment to Xiang Yun, she was still happy to hear it. She waved her hand and said, "Those who want to eat have to work. Move it over to the break room and I'll go get some bags to share with everyone."
"Yes, ma'am." Xiao Jin was overjoyed and carried the lychees to the lounge.
Xu Songning took a tub of plastic bags from Director Liu and, together with Xiao Jin, sorted the lychees in the break room, writing their names on the bags and arranging them in two rows.
When she returned the plastic bag, she also brought two bags of lychees for Director Liu. She kept one bag for him to eat and shared the other bag with the other people in the office to try.
Director Liu peeled a fruit and popped it into his mouth. He waved to her, looking somewhat hesitant, but still said, "Songning, come here, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Xu Songning asked warily, judging from Director Liu's expression, it didn't seem like anything good.
Director Liu started by rambling on about how good her work performance had been lately, before clearing his throat and getting the conversation back on track.
"Hey Songning, are you still in contact with your master?"
