Chapter 47 Chapter 47 The next morning, Xu Sui took out the refrigerator...
The next morning, Xu Sui took out an egg from the refrigerator, made a bowl of noodles, and then took his bag to squeeze into the subway. Before closing the door, he glanced next door. There was no movement inside. It seemed that the new neighbor had not arrived yet.
The mornings in Hai City are extremely crowded, especially during rush hour. After the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, a large group of office workers returned to their jobs, and there were basically no empty seats on the subway. Xu Sui had already left home an hour earlier, but still arrived at the radio and television station on time.
"Good morning, Sister Sui." A colleague holding coffee greeted Xu Sui when he saw her come in.
"Good morning." Xu Sui nodded in response. Just as he sat down at his seat, he received a notice of a meeting, so he hurried to the meeting room with his things.
The meeting focused on the seminar scheduled for the day after tomorrow. As it was about to end, Editor-in-Chief Zhai looked at Xu Sui and said, "This interview is very important to the higher-ups, and there will undoubtedly be a lot of media outlets in attendance. We need to make sure this one goes well and see results."
"Don't worry, leave it to me." Xu Sui put the information in his hand away and followed everyone out. When he was about to go out, he bumped into someone. Xu Sui looked up and met a pair of eyes that contained provocation.
"Oh, I'm sorry, reporter Xu. Please don't hold grudges against me. Let me pass first." After saying that, he passed by Xu Sui, and the work badge hanging around his neck was thrown high in the air.
Shi Miao leaned over and whispered in Xu Sui's ear: "Before the reporter was chosen, everyone thought it was Liu Lingling. But when the results were announced, it turned out to be you, so she must have some opinions about you."
Xu Sui had just accepted an interview for a program about an orphanage some time ago. Everyone thought that this interview would be given to Liu Lingling, who joined the TV station at the same year as Xu Sui and had many years of experience. She naturally thought so too. However, the result of the selection of the person clearly slapped her in the face.
Xu Sui lowered his eyes, curled his lips slightly and said calmly: "I have never heard of anyone blaming their opponent for being too strong because of their lack of strength."
Xu Sui and Liu Lingling were admitted in the same year, both majoring in journalism at F University, but they were not in the same class, so Xu Sui had never actually seen her at school.
The two of them didn't get along from the beginning. At first, Liu Lingling could still pretend, until one time they had a conflict of interest over a project, so they tried to avoid contact every time.
"She is just like that, just ignore her." The two returned to their workstations together. Shi Miao suddenly poked Xu Sui as if she thought of something, and Xu Sui turned his head to look at her.
"I heard that our station will have interns coming in a few days. I just looked at the information sheet, and they are all young men from universities." Shi Miao smiled and blinked. The two of them would occasionally goof off during work, and Shi Miao never concealed his admiration for handsome guys.
Xu Sui was so focused on the interview the day after tomorrow that he subconsciously said, "Didn't you just get a boyfriend?"
Shi Miao paused, then used a smile to hide his embarrassment: "Hey, isn't this just to see how many of them are your direct junior students?"
After hearing this, Xu Sui understood. So he was looking for someone for her.
Xu Sui held his forehead with his hand, typing on the keyboard with his right hand, and called Shi Miao: "Miao Miao."
"Hmm?" Shi Miao was drinking coffee. He had insomnia yesterday and didn't sleep well.
"You know me, I'm not really interested in these things right now. I've been graduated for a long time now, so I can't be considered a direct junior."
"Oh, okay." Shi Miao said hesitantly. Seeing that Xu Sui was busy, he didn't talk to her anymore. He was busy with his own things silently. Although the people working in the station were all on the payroll, it was unacceptable that their work efficiency was too low.
Because the Dragon Boat Festival holiday just ended, all the backlog of work has been piled up and needs to be processed, so today is another day of overtime.
What Shi Miao said yesterday was not just a casual remark. At least today he and Xu Sui were busy until eight o'clock before leaving.
The two of them took the elevator down with the remaining colleagues. Shi Miao's phone rang at this time. Xu Sui was originally in a daze, but when he heard the girl's coquettish voice, he couldn't help but look sideways.
The girl looked completely lost in love, and she acted coquettishly towards the other side: "Then let's go to the restaurant over at Putan to eat, okay? I'll be down right away."
The elevator just reached the first floor. Shi Miao turned around and said goodbye to Xu Sui: "Sui Sui, I'm leaving first. See you tomorrow." After saying that, she couldn't wait for Xu Sui to come back and trotted out excitedly.
A colleague walked up to Xu Sui and whispered, "I heard that Sister Miaomiao's new boyfriend is a rich second-generation man. His family has businesses all over the country and he must be very rich." There was envy in his tone.
Xu Sui didn't respond to her words, but just slowed down his pace. He didn't want to confront them, otherwise he would have to say hello.
In Xu Sui's mind, she and Chen Yun had just been in the same class and group and had exchanged a few words, which was far from the level of being close friends. Moreover, they had not seen each other or had any contact in seven years, so she would feel embarrassed to say hello.
I didn't see them when I went out. It seemed that they had already left. Xu Sui walked towards the subway entrance. There were not many people on the subway at this time. Xu Sui found a place to sit and opened the WeChat group of 99+.
Jiang Changjia was complaining in the group that she was bored, so Xu Zhiyao told her to count the money her family had earned this year. As she started counting, she was no longer bored. Jiang Changjia speechlessly sent out a lot of emoticons.
Xu Sui asked her if she didn't need to go back to Country M, and if she was really bored she could go traveling.
Jiang Changjia: [I'm about to graduate and no one cares. I heard Song Shiyang went to Haicheng. I want to travel to Haicheng every year.]
Xu Sui was stunned, and suddenly had an indescribable feeling, but then he thought that Haicheng was so big and there were so many places, it was unlikely that he would meet such a person.
Hiding the strangeness in his heart, Xu Sui returned to Jiang Changjia.
[Sure, I have a place to stay here, and I can take you out on weekends even if I don't have work.]
Jiang Changjia had actually been to Haicheng when he was an undergraduate. Although he was not very familiar with the place, he was not unfamiliar with it.
Xu Zhiyao was howling: [What are you doing? Are you bullying me, a worker? ? ]
Xu Zhiyao teaches the third grade students. He has to give extra lessons to those little brats every Sunday. Except for statutory holidays, he has basically no rest time.
So the two of them tried to coax Xu Zhiyao in a panic, and only managed to coax him into submission when Xu Sui was about to arrive home.
The summer wind blowing on people's faces made people uncomfortable. Even in a coastal city, the temperature was still very high. Xu Sui lifted the bag containing the documents and pressed the button for the tenth floor.
When Xu Sui went to the balcony to get clothes at night, he saw the light coming from the balcony next door. He couldn't help but look at it twice. He didn't hear any children's voices, so he thought they should be young people.
Just as she was about to leave, she heard footsteps coming from next door. Someone was walking from the room to the balcony. Xu Sui was startled and quickly shrank back. She didn't want to meet her new neighbor for the first time on the balcony. It would be too strange for two people to talk across the balcony, and she didn't know whether the person on the other side was a man or a woman.
Xu Sui thought about the scene of two people talking through the balcony window and couldn't help trembling. No, he couldn't think about it anymore.
But Xu Sui was a beat too late when she retreated. She vaguely saw the figure next to her. He was very tall, with a straight back. He seemed to be on the phone. From the back, he looked quite elegant.
Is a man.

Feeling the movement next door, Song Shiyang didn't turn his head to look. He stood on the balcony looking at the night view of Haishi City. The lights were on and the crowds of people were surging.
"Did you hear what I said to you, Shi Yang?" Ms. Zhao on the opposite side noticed that he was distracted and couldn't help but raise her voice a little.
"Mom, what are you worried about?" The man's voice sounded with a hint of impatience in the small space.
"Your sister is over 30 years old and she keeps saying she is a non-marriageist and refuses to get married. You are not young anymore and you haven't talked about dating anyone outside for so many years." Ms. Zhao paused, softened her tone, and asked tentatively.
"You like girls, don't you?"
Song Shiyang's hand holding the phone froze, and he laughed. It was rare for him to have a bit of bad taste. He said nonchalantly: "I want to like boys. Can you accept it?"
Ms. Zhao, who was far away in Beijing, had a drastic change of expression. She said sternly, "That's impossible. If you really like someone, break up with him. Don't let your father investigate you. Also, for the New Year, either bring me a girl home, or go visit my uncles as I arrange."
Song Shiyang asked suddenly: "As long as it's a girl?"
Ms. Zhao was slightly stunned, then said, "Whatever you like is fine."
In the night, the man's black eyes drooped slightly, and a smile gradually appeared on his face. A smile escaped from his throat, and his voice was filled with joy: "Okay, you wait."
Then he lowered his head to listen to what was said on the other end before hanging up the phone. He stood there for a while, his slightly curled eyelashes trembling. He glanced next door. The lights in the living room were off. Someone sent a message on WeChat. He lowered his eyes and saw that it was from Jack, one of the leaders of the institute.
Elias, I heard you're suddenly going to attend a seminar in Haicheng. Would you mind learning the reason?
The man moved his fingertips and sent a voice message. His voice was low and deep: "Jack, for personal reasons, I can't disclose it. Sorry."

The next morning, Xu Sui rushed out the door with a bag full of documents without even having breakfast. She had a nightmare all night last night and the poor sleep quality caused her to not even notice the alarm clock ringing. When she turned on her cell phone, she saw that it was already 8:30. Their company works from 9 to 5.
I have to be at the station at nine o'clock in the morning.
Xu Sui hurriedly opened the door, and someone happened to pass by. She was caught off guard and bumped into them. A breath of air rushed into her nose, cold and refreshing, like the melting snow on the mountains, but she had no intention of appreciating it. She kept saying sorry. She heard the man's lazy voice in her ears, and Xu Sui heard him say: "It's okay, don't worry."
She was stunned and looked up into his emotionless eyes. He had such beautiful eyes, just like when she was young, that she fell into his eyes without even realizing it.
Why was he here? Xu Sui looked at the next door in disbelief. Apart from this explanation, everything else didn't make sense. In short, he didn't live across the street.
The person who was still discussing yesterday appeared in front of him today. Xu Sui swallowed his saliva and said quickly: "I have something urgent to do, so I'll leave first."
Then he left in a hurry without waiting for anyone to respond.
