Chapter 66: Xia Cheng deliberately avoids Xun Sheng
The Xun family has a family dinner at least once a week. Since Xun Mo is away studying with her teacher and hasn't returned yet, there are only four people at the dinner this time.
The cook prepared a table full of dishes, but there was one person who was obviously not interested in today's dinner.
Xia Cheng and He Qing sat on one side, Xun Sheng and Xun Youdong sat on the other side, and Xia Cheng and Xun Sheng sat face to face.
Xia Cheng lowered her head as much as possible and did not look at Xun Sheng. She only took a small mouthful of rice and did not even take a few bites of the vegetables. After chewing the rice, she found an excuse that she was not feeling well and hurried upstairs.
He said he was not feeling well, but Xun Sheng knew why. He ate in silence. Some people had already left the table. If he left too, his parents would inevitably be disappointed, so he slowed down his eating.
He Qing said worriedly, "I don't know what's wrong with Chengcheng these past few days. She has no appetite and doesn't want to eat or drink. Every night, she says she's not feeling well after eating a few bites and goes back to her room and won't come out."
Upon hearing this, Xun Sheng's gaze fell on the dishes and chopsticks used by Xia Cheng.
"She should be fine. If anything happens, she will go to the hospital by herself."
At the same time, Xia Cheng, pretending to have no appetite, was enjoying delicious potato chips in the room and chatting on the phone with Chen Kelin.
Chen Kelin has found another endorsement for a domestic beauty brand and is very happy about it. After completing this endorsement, plus Lulu introduced to her by Xia Cheng, she won’t have to worry about her living expenses for the next few months and her popularity will definitely increase.
Chen Kelin was very grateful to Xia Cheng and also envied Xia Cheng.
However, she thinks she is great too, because she works hard, never looks down on anyone, and is kind, which is why she has so many opportunities.
After chatting about modeling for a while, Chen Kelin suddenly said, "Chengcheng, do you want to register a social media account? After the ad came out, many of my fans wanted to follow you. They're really attracted to your looks."
"Social media account?"
"Yeah, just shoot some short videos or something. If you're lucky, a brand will ask you to be their spokesperson, and then you can get advertising fees."
Xia Cheng thought about it and refused the real-name authentication.
She doesn't like too much attention.
However, she still created a small account and didn't post anything. She just silently looked at the recommended friends in the address book and clicked on them one by one.
The first account she saw was Lin Minghe's.
Most of his videos are of swimming, and they get a lot of likes because he is a swimming champion and has a lot of fans.
Xia Cheng liked his latest post
Then there is Yu Jingyuan’s account.
His profile picture is the signboard of the law firm, where he posts some legal knowledge every day. He doesn’t get many likes, but Xia Cheng can see that he really loves the legal profession.
Then there is Xun Mo.
The girl is young and most of the photos she posts are beautiful photos of herself traveling. The most recent photo she updated was in the Southern Hemisphere. She was wearing a Chanel-style jacket and sitting in a coffee shop on the corner, leisurely drinking coffee.
Xia Cheng didn't like the post and added him to the blacklist with an expressionless face.
Then there is Xun Sheng.
Xia Cheng never thought that Xun Sheng would have a social account. If the avatar was not the same as the one on the chat software, she really couldn't believe that this man who loves diving would be Xun Sheng.
Xun Sheng's last diving video was posted two years ago. Xia Cheng guessed that he might be too old to do it anymore.
She paid no attention to these men.
After all, I can see their accounts in the address book, so they can definitely see me through the address book.
After thinking about it and hanging up the phone, Xia Cheng still sent a video.
It was a screenshot from a game, showing her rough character standing alone on the edge of a cliff. She had specially matched it with some sad music and added a line of sentimental text:
"How much further do I have to go to get into your heart..."
In this way, whoever sees it will guess its meaning.
Xia Cheng exited the short video software contentedly.

The next day, when Xia Cheng was at work, she happened to meet Xun Sheng walking out of the room.
Since both of them lived on the third floor, it was inevitable that they would run into each other.
Under normal circumstances, Xia Cheng would definitely say sweetly, "Good morning, brother."
But today, she just walked by with her head down, without even looking at him.
Xun Sheng was standing in the stairwell when he heard Xia Cheng's hurried footsteps. She hadn't even eaten before taking a taxi. There was clearly a free car and they could go to the company together.
"Did you have a fight with Chengcheng?" He Qing asked.
Xun Sheng shook his head, a bitter taste in his mouth.
They didn't fight, nothing happened between them.
Yeah... nothing happened.
Xia Cheng had breakfast at a convenience store and inevitably ran into Xun Sheng on the stairs who was going to the eighteenth floor.
She cursed her bad luck in her heart, her expression unchanged as she stared straight at the gap in the metal door, like a wooden figure, without any expression at all.
Xun Sheng didn't say anything either.
The two of them reached the eighteenth floor quietly, and the gloom on Xia Cheng's face disappeared, and a bright smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth.
"Good morning, Brother Yi~ Good morning, Brother Jin~ I bought you coffee."
Xun Sheng walked past Xia Cheng who was distributing coffee without even glancing at her, and out of the corner of his eye he saw four cups of coffee in her bag.
There are four cups, one of which should be mine.
He deliberately slowed down his pace.
But Xia Cheng divided the rest among Han Wenya and Dong Gao.
Although no one knew what Xun Sheng was thinking, he still felt a little embarrassed and hurried away, quickening his pace.
Wei Paijin saw Xun Sheng's expression, took the coffee and muttered, "Hasn't the alcohol been metabolized yet? He looks so bad... I really should buy some medicine for Mr. Xun."
Xun Sheng slammed the door shut.
He rarely shows his emotions.
After closing the door, Xun Sheng snorted coldly and tugged at his tie.
"When did I have so many brothers and sisters?"
After saying this, he quickly calmed down.
He turned around to look at the wooden door that had been slammed down with a loud bang, and touched it.
"Sorry, didn't mean to."
Then he turned on the landline: "Ask Xia Cheng to make me a cup of coffee."
A few minutes later, the coffee arrived, but it was not brought by Xia Cheng.
Xun Sheng looked at the heat and asked Han Wenya awkwardly:
"Where's Xia Cheng?"
"She said she had a stomachache and went to the bathroom, so she asked me to help bring her over."
"Did she make this?"
"Ah, no, I made it."
Seeing that Xun Sheng looked unhappy, Han Wenya didn't dare to stay any longer.
After Xia Cheng came back from the bathroom, he leaned over and asked, "Do you know what happened to Mr. Xun? He doesn't look very happy."
Xia Cheng thought about it and felt that this man was really strange. He was the one who rejected her, so why did he still have the nerve to be so angry? She had only touched him, so why was he so angry? And they both agreed to act as if nothing had happened.
"I don't know. That's how a domineering CEO is, moody and unpredictable." Xia Cheng shrugged.
Han Wenya nodded in agreement, but she was thinking of that old man Zhao Huayang, whose personality was indeed bad. If it weren't for the high salary, she wouldn't bother with him, let alone being a double agent.
But... no, Han Wenya was crying in her heart, Mr. Xun was so handsome, please don't let him become like that...
