Chapter 70 Chapter 70 Encounter
Jiang Changjia replied to her message near the end of the get off work day, and Xu Sui lowered her head to look at her phone.
Jiang Changjia: [Who? Who sent you roses?]
You can tell from the reaction that it wasn't sent by her.
After Xu Sui briefly explained the matter to her, he turned off his phone screen, glanced at the flowers in the cabinet below, and didn't even think of taking them away after get off work.
When she got off work, she was carrying a bag containing documents while looking down at her phone and scrolling through the messages. She found that the editor-in-chief had sent a file in the group.
Xu Sui clicked on it and took a look, and found that it was a document for organizing a blind date event.
The continued decline in marriage rates and the increase in divorce rates in recent years have made the country pay special attention to marriage and childbearing issues, and those within the system are the first to bear the brunt.
Work units for positions such as teachers, journalists, and civil servants will organize blind dates, and the targets are people in their twenties or early thirties who are of marriageable age.
Xu Sui took a quick look and then stepped back. This had nothing to do with her. She walked towards where she usually parked her car. After taking two steps forward, she almost bumped into someone. Xu Sui quickly apologized.
But Xu Sui stopped apology just as it came to his lips. His phone was still on, but he didn't even blink. He just stared blankly at the man in the white shirt in front of him.
"I haven't seen you for a month, and you don't recognize me? What? You're planning to go on a blind date and find a new love." Song Shiyang lowered his head and met Xu Sui's eyes, and the black tie around his neck swayed in the air.
He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, the lenses shone with a cold light, but the eyes beneath the lenses were as gentle as water.
He joked, his eyes falling on the screen of Xu Sui's mobile phone which was still on, and put one hand into his black suit pants. Because of bending over, the seemingly comfortable fabric had some wrinkles, but they all fell down smoothly with Song Shiyang's movements.
The current Song Shiyang looks very elegant. He is not the cold and unrestrained seventeen or eighteen-year-old, nor is he the gentle and considerate after the reunion. Instead, he has an academic temperament, with a bookish and elite feel.
It was different from what they usually saw each other. It was more like the feeling Song Shiyang gave her when Xu Sui met him when she returned to Chongqing during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday.
Unattainable, but fallen into the world of mortals, infected with the emotions called "like" and "love".
Xu Sui didn't say anything. He stood on tiptoe and hooked his hands around his neck, pulling him down. He kissed the corner of his lips and said in a muffled voice, "You're finally back."
It’s been more than a month, and it’s already late autumn.
"Sorry." Song Shiyang said with his head down, raised his hands and hugged Xu Sui, and the two of them hugged each other quietly. At this moment, the weather was getting colder, and Xu Sui was wearing an autumn long skirt with an apricot windbreaker on the outside.
It was a bit cold when I first came out, but the warmth coming from Song Shiyang dispelled the slight chill and left a slight warmth.
"That was a message sent in the group. I didn't sign up and I don't plan to go. I don't have a new love, only an old one." Xu Sui whispered in Song Shiyang's ear with great sincerity.
"You've wronged my daughter. I apologize." After Xu Sui said this, Song Shiyang apologized quickly and kissed Xu Sui's ear with his lips, making her want to hide. But he held her tightly in his arms and she couldn't move at all. She could only feel the itch.
And that sentence, my girl, made Xu Sui blush, and he couldn't help but push him away with a little force: "I don't blame you, you don't have to apologize."
Song Shiyang walked forward holding Xu Sui's hand, saying as he walked: "I blame myself. Today I will let you do whatever you want and will never resist. What do you say?" The man said the embarrassing words casually and glanced at Xu Sui.
"What do you mean by 'never resist'? You speak as if I have done anything to you..." Xu Sui was dissatisfied and turned his head to glare at Song Shiyang.
"Well, my bad." The man's voice was lazy, completely dispelling the academic atmosphere.
Xu Sui: “…” I just don’t want to talk to you.
The car was parked not far away, just a few steps away. Xu Sui took a look before getting in. It was another car. Xu Sui didn't recognize the brand. The Lotus at home was left to her for commuting to get off work. Song Shiyang bought another one at some point.
As soon as Song Shiyang got in the car, he turned on the heater and asked, "Are there any vegetables at home?"
Xu Sui thought about it and said uncertainly: "Probably, probably, there is more."
Song Shiyang paused while wiping the mirror in front of him, then turned his head to look at Xu Sui, laughing and crying: "Is it there or not?"
Xu Sui was unsure, but after thinking about it, he decided it would be better to go buy some, so he said firmly, "There aren't many left, go buy some."
Song Shiyang raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of deep meaning and teasing in his eyes, and nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, he started the car and drove towards a nearby supermarket.
The car was parked in the underground parking garage of the shopping mall. Xu Sui couldn't help but feel envious as he watched Song Shiyang turn the steering wheel a few times and park the car.
I thought about the incident when I hit his car at the airport.
"Have you thought about it?" Song Shiyang asked after noticing Xu Sui's gaze after parking the car.
"No." She blinked and quickly looked away, opened the door and got out of the car.
Song Shiyang was stunned. Looking at her back as she fled in panic, he suddenly remembered something. He lowered his head and laughed out loud, then quickly caught up.
"Xu Xiaosui, your driving skills have a lot of room for improvement." He walked to Xu Sui's side with a smirk in his tone, walked to Xu Sui's right side, bent down and looked at her expression.
"You... go away." Xu Sui has always had a strong sense of shame. After he said that, his fingertips couldn't help but curl up, and then stretched out again.
"No, that won't work. I'm afraid it would be embarrassing if I go shopping in the supermarket alone." He said seriously, then walked to a position shoulder to shoulder with Xu Sui and hooked Xu Sui's hand with his index finger.
Seeing that Xu Sui didn't dodge, it was natural for him to interlock his fingers and hold them tightly.
"The weather is getting colder in autumn, so I'm going to make some pork rib soup today." As he spoke, he walked to where the carts were stacked and pushed out a small cart.
The two walked towards the meat products area, and when they passed the fruit area, Song Shiyang stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xu Sui turned his head and saw Song Shiyang picked up a big, round passion fruit beside him, looked at it for a few seconds, and then took a bag down.
"Buy some passion fruit and soak it in honey to supplement vitamin C and enhance immunity." As he spoke, he put a few passion fruits in.
"ah?"
"Um?"
"Oh, nothing." Xu Sui thought for a moment, looked up at Song Shiyang, and said seriously: "I don't have any honey at home."
"Huh? You have one at home." He said calmly, holding Xu Sui's hand and a cart, and walked forward with them. The air conditioner was on in the supermarket, so he unbuttoned his wrists and rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms and wrist bones.
Xu Sui tilted his head and thought for a moment. He really couldn't remember when his family had honey. Just as he was about to ask, the person next to him said nonchalantly: "Isn't my home yours? I have wild honey there."
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone was stunned and stopped for a moment.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Seeing the person stopped, Song Shiyang also stopped and looked up, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Your home is your home, and my home is my home." Xu Sui broke free from his hand, frowned, and argued seriously with Song Shiyang. He felt that this man was a little too obsessed with taking control, and this was not acceptable.
"Well, you're right." The man's eyes darkened slightly, and he followed Xu Sui's words, muttering to himself: "We still have to tear down the wall."
"What did you say?" His voice was not loud, and the supermarket was noisy, mixed with the sound of the radio. Xu Sui could not hear clearly for a moment. He only saw his lips slightly opening and closing, which seemed to indicate that he was talking.
"I'll do whatever you say." Song Shiyang said with a frown.
fraud.
Xu Sui complained in his heart, but didn't say it out loud.
The two stopped at a meat shop and bought a few pounds of spare ribs and beef. Song Shiyang was also about to buy some side dishes. Xu Sui looked around and said to Song Shiyang: "I'm going to buy some yogurt first, and I'll come find you when I'm done."
Song Shiyang looked in the direction Xu Sui pointed. It wasn't far away, so at least he could see the people there. He nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll come find you later."
The corners of Xu Sui's lips curled up slightly, and he had to use some force to push it down, making it less obvious.
She watched Song Shiyang pushing the cart to the other end, and immediately turned around and ran to the snack area. She remembered that she seemed to be out of snacks at home.
Xu Sui grabbed a bag and walked around the bulk snacks as if she was patrolling her territory. She picked out a few bags of spicy strips and potato chips. In a blink of an eye, she saw the beverage counter next door.
Without even a second's thought, I decisively took the Pai Wang Zai and then went to weigh it.
Then he walked towards the freezer where the yogurt was kept.
She lowered her head and thought about the probability that Song Shiyang would refuse her snacks. She didn't take much, so he shouldn't refuse. If he didn't let her... it was impossible. Xu Sui shook his head and ruled out this possibility.
As soon as the man walked to the freezer, he heard a surprised male voice, very enthusiastic and familiar: "Master!"
Xu Sui turned around and saw Zhai Luo pushing a cart, with a friend beside him, probably also a college student, with a clear look in his eyes that came from someone who had never experienced society.
Both of them are very good-looking. Although they are not very handsome, the youthful aura on them has not completely dissipated, which makes them look much more pleasing to the eye.
"Are you here to shop too?" Xu Sui moved his fingertips and pinched the Wangzai milk carton, feeling a little embarrassed.
Really, a little bit.
"Yes, Master, you came here alone?" Zhai Luo lowered his eyes and saw Xu Sui's hand move slightly, then he immediately looked away and fixed his gaze on Xu Sui's face.
The lipstick she applied when she went out in the morning had faded a lot, but her facial features were small and delicate. At this moment, she was curling her lips, and wearing a white autumn skirt under her windbreaker, which particularly highlighted her temperament.
It's just that what she holds in her hand is a little inconsistent with the image of a working woman.
It's quite a contrast.
"No, I came here with my boyfriend." Xu Sui replied.
Zhai Luo was stunned, and after a while he forced a smile: "Is that so? Can I meet my brother-in-law?" He asked, a little unwillingly, but also really curious. If the man was handsome, rich and capable, he would be convinced.
But if it is just about having money, he will never accept it.
Xu Sui was slightly surprised. He turned around and looked, but didn't see Song Shiyang. He pursed his lips and apologized, "He went to buy something somewhere else. I haven't seen him yet. Maybe next time."
"Isn't he with you?" The young man in his early twenties was in the prime of his youth and energy, and he couldn't help but ask.
Xu Sui frowned and replied, "I asked him to go somewhere else first. Is there anything else? If not, I'll leave first."
He looked like he wanted to say something, but Xu Sui had already turned around to pick yogurt. His friend tugged at his clothes, so he looked at Xu Sui's back, clenched his fist, and then left.
