Chapter 58 What are you looking at?
Return, return what?
At that moment, Xu Sui thought she had misheard. She could even imagine the man standing at her door with that face and saying lightly, "I'm here to return the salt."
In fact, it is not necessary to pay it back.
Xu Sui complained in his heart, but still got down from the sofa and went to open the door.
He put his hand on the door handle, and with a "click" the door was opened by someone inside. Song Shiyang heard the noise and looked up, and saw the girl standing at the door. She was wearing light-colored clothes, which made her look particularly gentle.
Her eyes met his for a very brief few seconds before quickly looking away, and then moved down to his hanging arm, with some surprise still in her eyes. Song Shiyang handed over the thing in his hand and looked away from Xu Sui.
After a light cough, she said, "I borrowed it last time." Then she picked it up and took a look at it. Her long, fine eyelashes slightly fluttered, and then she looked straight at it: "Is this the brand?"
"Ah? Really?" Xu Sui was just attracted by his pretty eyes and was stunned for a moment. He only reacted when he was asked so unexpectedly.
"What were you looking at just now?" Song Shiyang glanced back thoughtfully, but there was nothing there and the corridor was empty at the moment.
No one else came out, and there was nothing special around.
The girl's calm but slightly panicked voice reached his ears. Xu Sui bit the soft flesh inside his lower lip, closed his eyes, and began to talk nonsense: "A mouse just passed by behind you."
Song Shiyang's hand froze, and he raised his eyebrows without saying anything. He bent down and put the thing in Xu Sui's hand, then reminded him: "I think you should take a closer look."
He paused, then slowly spoke under Xu Sui's puzzled gaze: "After all, you didn't really look at anything other than the mouse just now."
**
Xu Sui glanced at it casually and said a few words that he couldn't even remember, then leaned back on the sofa hugging the pillow.
After being dazed for a while, he suddenly stood up, scratched his hair and leaned back on the sofa.
The whole person is in a trance state.
After a while, Xu Sui took out his mobile phone, opened the group chat dialog box and started typing.
Xu Sui: [A new neighbor has moved into my house.]
Not long after she sent this message, Jiang Changjia replied with a voice message. Xu Sui clicked on it and saw that the person on the other end was probably applying a facial mask or doing some facial care. The words were not very clear, but she could barely understand them.
"Male? Handsome? Is there something going on?"
Xu Suiren froze after being asked three questions in a row. She didn't know how Jiang Changjia could figure out so much information from just one sentence of hers.
Except for the last one, they are all correct.
After listening to the voice message, she immediately typed it out, much faster than before.
[? No, I just think this person is weird.]
As soon as the message was sent, a video chat invitation popped up on the phone screen. Xu Sui answered the call, and Xu Zhiyao's voice immediately came from the phone: "What's strange? Tell me more."
It was quite noisy on her end, with students shouting at each other.
Jiang Changjia also agreed: "Yes, tell us and see if it is true... Yeah."
Xu Sui wrinkled his nose, thought for a moment, and then briefly recounted what happened today, but he didn't mention Song Shiyang's name, using "S" throughout, and he didn't mention that they were from the same hometown.
It took about ten minutes to finish telling what happened today from beginning to end.
No one spoke for a while. Xu Sui glanced at the screen but didn't hang up.
She tried to say "Hello" before Jiang Changjia's faint voice came from the phone: "Why am I listening?"
Xu Zhiyao took over the conversation: "That S."
"Is it interesting to you?"
"I like you?"
The two said in unison.
Xu Sui was startled by their sudden high voices and his hand trembled, causing the phone to flip over and fall onto the sofa. Then he jumped up immediately as if he had been bitten by a bug.
No!! Why are they talking so loudly!!
This house has poor sound insulation!!
She looked at the wall next to Song Shiyang and thought that he shouldn't be able to hear it. He probably would, otherwise he could sue her for disturbing the public.
The first thing she did when she picked up her phone was to turn the volume down to the minimum. She thought that these two people must have been single for too long, so they felt something was wrong when they had any contact with the opposite sex.
She told them righteously that it was impossible.
Xu Sui attributed Song Shiyang's series of behaviors to the fact that scientific research was too tiring, so his thinking and behavior were different from those of ordinary people.
Jiang Changjia and Xu Zhiyao in the video fell silent when they heard Xu Sui say that. They looked at each other, and Xu Zhiyao suddenly asked: "Is this S also engaged in scientific research? Maybe he knows the male idol. You can ask Song Shiyang."
Xu Sui was startled and refused awkwardly: "No..."
"I think it's okay, you can ask." Jiang Changjia said without hesitation.
Xu Sui's fingertips twitched slightly, and he asked without thinking: "Do you all have his WeChat?"
When these words came out, Jiang Changjia and Xu Zhiyao were stunned. Xu Sui then realized that what he said was inappropriate. They had a WeChat group, a class group, and the classmates clamored to pull it out a year after graduation.
It’s said that no one uses QQ much anymore, so let’s create a WeChat group to avoid being unable to contact each other in the future.
Song Shiyang is in the group, and if anyone wants to add him, they can find his contact information in the group. For the sake of friendship as classmates, he will approve all requests, although most of the time they are left in a corner gathering dust.
Xu Zhiyao was well-informed and had added him on WeChat as early as his senior year of high school.
Only Xu Sui, today, seven years after graduation, actually got his contact information.
She really did what she said when she was eighteen: forget, don't pay attention or contact.
But at this moment, he suddenly appeared in front of her and said, "Is it okay to add WeChat?"
After so many years, Xu Sui felt a surge of emotion in her heart, but she quickly suppressed it. Then she patted her head and said with a smile: "My brain."
"I've been under a lot of pressure these days and I like to talk nonsense."
Jiang Changjia yawned and said comfortingly, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. If you are really tired, come and help me. I won't say that you can earn hundreds of thousands of yuan a month, but the annual salary is definitely that much."
Xu Zhiyao always liked to tease her. Upon hearing this, he jumped out and asked, "What about me, princess? Look, my hair has turned white from all the childishness. When will I get a good job? It's time to retire my old BYD."
The two of them started arguing with each other again.
In fact, three years ago, when Xu Zhiyao had just graduated and was looking for a job, Jiang Changjia had said that he could help her, but Xu Zhiyao, who was always a frivolous person, stopped laughing and seriously refused Jiang Changjia's help.
Xu Sui still remembers her exact words: "I'm a Chinese language teacher training student with no knowledge of management or finance. I just want to be a teacher to make a living. Forget it, I can't be your assistant anymore. What a pity."
But there was no regret in his tone.
Xu Sui glanced at the two people on the screen and raised his eyebrows.
**
The other party never collected the fare in the phone. Xu Sui couldn't help but send a message in the middle of the night, asking him why he hadn't collected it yet, otherwise it would expire.
She will send it again when the time comes.
The other party replied quickly.
Song Shiyang: [Save it for Xie Zhuoyuan as a gift. I won't accept it.]
After that, the fare was returned by the other party.
Today, Xie Zhuoyuan officially posted on his Moments to invite all relatives and friends to attend his wedding. Many people left messages, and Xu Sui was also among the large group.
Xu Sui frowned.
[The fare is the fare, and the membership fee is the membership fee; they are two different things.]
Then I entered the payment password and transferred the money.
After a while, Song Shiyang replied, but this time it was a voice message. Xu Sui was slightly stunned and hesitated for a long time before he clicked on it without converting the voice message to text.
A male voice with a faint smile filled Xu Sui's room in an instant. His voice was naturally gentle, but also a little low. He spoke slowly and at a moderate speed.
"Then let's calculate it based on the market price. Just give me the amount of your taxi fare. You can't just ask me to pay you 800. That's really a rip-off. It's embarrassing."
Listening to this man talking, she silently complained in her heart. When he pulled her arm and asked her to scan the code, she really didn't see that he was embarrassed.
After she transferred four hundred yuan, she immediately sent a message.
Xu Sui: [If you don't accept it, I'll just give it to Grandpa Zhao as wine money.]
After a few seconds, the other party sent a payment message, and Xu Sui turned off his phone.
**
The fifteenth day of the new year was coming soon, so Xu Sui told his boss about asking for leave early, and then he took the nine o'clock flight back to Chongqing on the morning of the thirteenth.
As soon as he went out early in the morning, he ran into Song Shiyang who was also preparing to go out. The two looked at each other in the corridor. Finally, it was Song Shiyang's words: "Going on a long trip?" that broke the silent atmosphere between them.
"Um."
The man was wearing gray trousers and a light-colored short-sleeved shirt, looking quite refreshing.
He glanced at Xu Sui several times before asking, "Xie Zhuoyuan is getting married on the 15th, right?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" When Xu Sui was asked this, he thought he had remembered it wrong.
Seeing his eyes linger on her suitcase, she realized why he asked that and casually explained, "I have something to do. I need to go back early."
"Do you want me to take you there?" he asked suddenly.
Just then, Xu Sui's cell phone rang, covering up his already low voice. Xu Sui answered the call and said a few words to the other end before hanging up and looking at Song Shiyang: "What did you just say?"
The man pursed his lips, his eyes, which seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, turned slightly twice, and said calmly: "It's nothing, be careful on the road."
Then he walked towards the elevator.
Xu Sui didn't understand what was going on, so she followed him into the elevator dragging her suitcase. It was the taxi driver who just called and said he had arrived at the gate of the community and asked her where she was.
It was July, but Xu Sui suddenly felt a little cold. He couldn't help but shrink his arms, thinking, isn't it over 30 degrees Celsius, why is it like there is an air conditioner in this elevator?
It's quite cold.
