Luo Xiyun staggered back to the room and slammed the door shut. He leaned against the door and slowly slid down to sit on the ground.
She curled up her feet, wrapped her arms around her knees, buried her head in her legs, and let her wet hair fall. The water droplets dripped down her hair to the floor, gradually forming a puddle of water.
She sat there motionless. After an unknown amount of time, she heard a faint sound of music coming from her handbag.
A minute later, the music stopped, then started again after a few seconds.
It rang and stopped, stopped and rang four or five times. After that, she finally moved. She reached out, took the phone out of her bag, answered the call, and put it to her ear.
"Why did you take so long to answer the phone? So, are you sure that person is the same one in your dream?"
Liu Yumeng's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone.
She was silent for a moment, then said, "He is not."
"Oh, isn't that a good thing? You don't sound too happy."
"I'm hanging up first." She said, hung up the phone, turned it off, and threw it aside.
After a moment, she repeated, "He's not."
Gradually, a deep fatigue came over her, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and blurry, she saw Chen Xu again, who was saying "screw his gentlemanly manners" word by word.
Chen Xu, whose heart was harder than stone, could ignore her for months just because of her words.
Chen Xu, the one who can't stand any grievance, whose heart is smaller than a needle tip, who can only be mean to her, and a complete bastard.
The irresponsible scum who didn't even want to say a single nice word before he died, leaving her alone and pretending to let her live well on her own...
"He is not you..."
Her barely audible voice echoed in the room.
………………
When Luo Xiyun left, Chen Xu looked at her back. For some reason, his heart ached and he suddenly had the urge to chase after her and help her.
Is she sad?
He suppressed the impulse, but felt a little doubtful. Just now, for a moment, he actually felt that she seemed very sad.
It's all an illusion.
When her figure disappeared at the door, he felt lost.
The others completely relaxed, and under the guidance of Secretary Guo, they officially started the game. Without the presence of a leader, everyone was able to let go, and soon, there was laughter and joy.
To some extent, Luo Xiyun achieved his original goal.
Only Chen Xu was absent-minded and isolated from the crowd.
Others also expressed their understanding. After all, it was normal to be in a bad mood after being criticized in public by Mr. Luo.
Someone advised him to go back and rest first, and he agreed and went back to his room first.
He lay on the bed, calmed down, and reflected seriously. He felt that he was too concerned and confused.
Even though he spent a lot of time and prepared himself mentally beforehand, he treated it all as a dream.
However, after several months in the dream, how could I forget or cut off the feelings for her just like that?
Normally, they didn't have much contact, so the problem wasn't serious. But today, when they were face to face, he realized that his mental state was very fragile. He couldn't help but care about her.
After figuring this out, he sighed and murmured, "My forehead must have been caught by the door at the beginning. Why must I copy someone I know in reality into my dream?"
The lovers who were inseparable in the dream became strangers when they woke up. No one could stand seeing each other every day.
"No, I can't stay in the company anymore. After this month, I'll quit."
"Don't let your imagination run wild. She's not the one in my dream."
He said this silently to himself and gradually fell asleep.
…………
The next day, Chen Xu woke up on time, took a nap, and his mood was basically calm. After washing up, he went to the restaurant on the second floor, which was where they would gather today.
When I got to the second floor, I ran into a colleague and learned from him that Luo Xiyun was sick and Secretary Guo sent her to the hospital overnight. She has not returned yet.
This message was sent to the work group, but Chen Xu hadn't seen it yet.
"Is he okay?" Chen Xu's heart tightened and he asked without thinking.
The man said, "He said he had a high fever, but after the injection, the fever has subsided. Now, Secretary Guo will take Mr. Luo home first. You will know from the group chat."
Chen Xu picked up his phone and looked through the messages in the group. He happened to see the message that Secretary Guo had just sent, saying that Luo Xiyun had been sent home. Only then did he feel relieved.
"What about today's activities?" Chen Xu thought of something.
"Just asking." The man picked up his phone and sent an inquiry message to Secretary Guo.
Soon, Secretary Guo replied, "Free time."
The structure of their electronic sales department is rather strange. In theory, Liu Kun is the first person in charge, but in reality, daily management is handled by Luo Xiyun. It can be said that the two of them have the final say in the entire department.
Next up, it should be Secretary Guo. She is Luo Xiyun's assistant, and many orders are passed down to everyone through her.
And then that was it. The rest of the colleagues were just ordinary employees, with no distinction between high and low levels.
Chen Xu guessed that Liu Kun and Luo Xiyun wanted to implement a flat management system. The idea was good, but if Liu Kun and Luo Xiyun were not there, it would easily become a mess and no one would know who to listen to.
Even now, Luo Xiyun and Secretary Guo left. They couldn't even find someone to take charge, so they could only move freely.
Chen Xu did not go to find Dai Zixin. After what happened last night, she was kind of avoiding him.
I guess Luo Xiyun scared her a lot last night.
To be honest, he was quite relieved that after reality taught her a lesson, she was no longer as careless and heartless as before.
He didn't want to stay in the hotel, so seeing that the weather outside was good, he walked out and took a walk.
The surrounding scenery was nice. Unconsciously, he walked to the basketball court where the team-building activity was held yesterday. He saw that the hosts were playing basketball.
They also saw him and stopped.
"I heard them call you Chen Xu yesterday." The leading man took the initiative to come over and greet him, "My name is Zhao Gang."
Chen Xu smiled friendly, "You haven't gone back yet?"
"I'll go back with you guys in the car in the afternoon." Zhao Gang said, pointing to the court, "Would you like to play a few games together?"
Chen Xu shook his head and said, "Forget it. My small body can't withstand your collision."
"Come on, we are technical people and we won't bully others with our bodies." Zhao Gang invited enthusiastically.
Chen Xucai would not be fooled. His skills were terrible and he did not want to embarrass himself by going on the court.
"How about, let's compete in shooting." At this time, the man who was almost doubting his life yesterday after being shot by Chen Xu suggested.
Chen Xu glanced at him and thought, isn't this asking for trouble? PS: Seeing so many rewards, I feel really stressed. I won't say more, I'll just write and save the manuscript.
