Chapter 36 Chapter 36 Undefended.
Su Tu avoided it vaguely.
In the end, there was no direct answer to this question.
Because until now, she still hasn't figured out how to deal with this relationship.
Although it has been more than a month since we last met.
But in the final analysis, she didn't have much real feeling about this emotion itself.
Such a household name and national idol, without any preparation, suddenly became devoted to an ordinary person.
No matter who you are, it will feel unreal, right?
Moreover, talking on the phone and meeting in person are two completely different concepts.
Across the Internet, all he wanted was to keep in touch.
But if they actually met, given his straightforward style, would he have assumed this was her response? And then dragged her to get the marriage certificate right there and then?
Although her attitude towards love is not to the point of being a non-marriageist, she is still somewhat afraid of marriage.
And his resolute and decisive approach, with his actions always having clear objectives, was really a bit scary to her...
So as soon as she put down her phone, she shook her head vigorously, forcing the matter out of her mind, and then concentrated on the work at hand.
The studio recently took on another real estate case.
The sales office is 800 square meters, with two courtyard model rooms. The area is not too large, but because it is directly under the committee, there is no need for bidding, which makes me feel a lot more relaxed psychologically.
She took some time to study the project proposal and lay out the rough outline of the PowerPoint presentation. Then she went downstairs, called everyone together, and said, "The information is all on the shared drive. You can take a closer look at it later."
"The building budget has been converted to a format and can be used directly by dragging it out. You can take a general look at the spatial structure. Then Yue Jia and Zhao Xuan can each choose a courtyard house and try to make the plan."
"In terms of style, one is Xinzhong and the other is Song's. The sales office also leans towards Chinese style. Don't rush to decide on a theme. You can look for more pictures. If you get any inspiration..."
As he was speaking, the phone on the table suddenly lit up.
Shishu: [Arrived]
Shi Shu: [Have you booked a restaurant? Let’s have dinner together tonight?]
Su Tu paused, and could clearly feel the pupils of the people around him dilating rapidly, and they all cast terrified glances at him: "..."
Her back stiffened and she quickly turned the phone over.
Then he gritted his teeth and finished the rest of his words without giving anyone a chance to speak. He stood up and went upstairs in a serious manner, as if he still had a lot of things to do.
Before I even returned to the office, I heard someone behind me exclaim, "Fuck, was I blind just now?"
"Pinch me! Tell me I'm not dreaming..."
Su Tu pretended to be deaf and dumb skillfully, closed the door with his backhand, and pretended that nothing happened if he couldn't hear it.
However, when I returned to my desk, I still saw my extremely unnatural expression in the diffuse reflection of the screen...
Her heart was beating fast, and she didn't understand why. She hadn't done anything bad, but she felt like a thief every day, staying in her studio, feeling guilty to death.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt dissatisfied.
Unlock your phone and directly blame the incident on someone: [No! ]
Just issued.
The phone rang.
Su Tu was stunned for a moment: "..."
He looked like a coward who had done something evil and couldn't bear the consequences. He instantly lost all his energy and became flustered, not knowing what to do.
It wasn't until the call automatically hung up that I breathed a sigh of relief as if I had escaped a disaster.
But soon, the message came again: [Why don’t you answer?]
Are you busy?
She was briefly intimidated, but was soon inspired by the following sentence.
Now is working time.
Moreover, before the last call ended, he asked if they could meet, but didn't ask if he could call again, and she didn't agree to answer, so what was there to feel guilty about?
Thinking of this, I instantly felt more confident: [Yes, I’m very busy. I’ve had quite a lot of cases recently.]
"Besides, the game's over now. You don't have anything to be nervous about. Why don't you find a place to relax? Stop calling me all the time."
Shi Shu: [……]
Even through the screen, Su Tu could imagine the look of "miscalculation" on his face at the moment. It was a rare feeling of making a comeback, and his mood unconsciously became cheerful.
It's not that I want to leave him out on purpose.
She just felt that the other person was in City A, and once they talked on the phone, there was a high probability that she would be fooled out. When she thought about what might happen after the meeting, she felt really stressed.
In short.
Although escaping is shameful, it is useful.
In the next few days, Shi Shu really didn't call her again.
But correspondingly, messages are sent much more frequently.
First, I reported to her the length of my vacation after the game, as well as which business activities I would need to attend on which days in between. I might not be outside City A, but I would be there the rest of the time.
Then I kept asking her when she was free and when we could meet.
So Su Tu’s biggest headache every day was thinking about what reason to use to politely refuse.
At the beginning, I was quite serious about the search and every time I would attach a photo of myself busy at work to prove that what I said was true.
But as time went on, he didn't know whether he finally discovered it or finally got anxious, and the messages he sent were full of undisguised oppression.
【Su Tu】
You have to give me a deadline and tell me when we can meet.
Seeing that the truth was about to come out, she simply shut him up: [I’m really busy]
[Stop sending me messages.]
Shi Shu: [……]
Refuse to meet.
Don't answer the phone.
No messages are allowed to be sent.
Su Tu also knew that she had gone a little too far, but she was the kind of person who would run away when faced with trouble.
Maybe because she was born with no good luck, her instinctive reaction when she encountered such a great thing was actually doubt.
Doubt the nature of things and doubt your own weight.
I doubt where his sincerity comes from and how long it can last. I also doubt what is good about myself and how I can be worthy of him.
She could neither accept this unfamiliar good luck nor bear the emptiness and loneliness after the tide receded.
So if he's bothered by it, if he's disappointed by it, that's fine.
It is better to stop it before anything happens than to find out after it starts that under her seemingly intact appearance, she does not have the soul he longs for.
Anyway, she had long lost her longing for emotions.
Being alone from beginning to end is actually quite good.
-
The world really quieted down.
Su Tu was not affected either. He went to work, went home from get off work, and worked overtime as usual, working diligently towards his goal of buying a house.
On Sunday night, after confirming the schedule for the new week and synchronizing it with Tao Qingqing, I stretched and went to sleep on the sofa early.
The next morning, I still had trouble getting up. I struggled for a long time before getting up. I washed my face in a daze, grabbed a coat, and went out with my computer bag.
There was a house measurement this morning, so before ten o'clock, she drove her car to the nearby area, found a parking space, and then came to the entrance of the community to meet Yue Jia and Zhao Xuan.
In City A at the end of October, as soon as she got out of the car, a cold wind blew into her collar, making her shiver all over. She called the owner tremblingly.
I just arrived and I was thinking about finishing it quickly and going back early.
The phone was connected, and a cheerful male voice came: "Teacher Su? Are you here?"
"I've already informed the property management. You can come in just by saying your name. I'll be waiting for you upstairs."
Su Tu sniffed: "Okay, then please wait a moment."
She followed the instructions and entered the community, and soon found the corresponding building.
When she came out of the elevator, the entrance door had already been opened from the inside. She knocked on the door symbolically, and then took two steps inside: "Mr. Yan——"
As I was greeting him, I looked up and saw a figure I hadn't seen for a long time. He was standing in the living room with a calm expression, and his deep gaze was directed at me.
“…”
Su Tu's eyes froze and his heartbeat suddenly became irregular.
The scene was silent for a moment, and then Zhao Xuan's surprised voice was heard: "Captain Shi! Tiantian?!"
"hey-hey."
Yan Tiankai straightened up: "It's me, it's me!"
Zhao Xuan looked incredulous: "Is this your house?"
"Yes." Yan Tiankai nodded and pointed to his side: "I just bought it. My brother dragged me to come to you to design it..."
Amidst the heated conversation, Shi Shu walked straight towards the entrance. Seeing the faintly shivering figure in front of him, he raised his hand to take off his coat, but was suddenly grabbed by the corner of his clothes.
Su Tu lowered his head and said in a low voice: "...Don't take it off."
Shi Shu frowned: "Not cold?"
Su Tu pursed his lips: "Not bad."
She was just a little uncomfortable for a moment after suddenly getting out of a car with the heater on. Besides, she was already wearing a coat, and it would be so strange for her to put on one of his coats in public.
Shi Shu didn't force her, but took out a hand warmer from his pocket and put it into her palm naturally.
When you touch it with your fingertips, you can feel a noticeable coolness.
Su Tu felt a burn from the warmth in his palm, and his arm felt a little numb. He adjusted it slightly, and then put his hand into his pocket in an attempt to cover up his mistake.
Then he looked at Yue Jia as if nothing had happened and said, "Start measuring."
The three people on the opposite side finally came back to their senses, each with an expression of "I didn't see anything" and began looking up at the sky and the ground at each other: "Oh oh!"
"Measure it! Measure it now. Where do you start?"
"It seems like entering the house?"
“…”
Su Tu finally gave up his seat and walked a few steps inside, trying to ignore the presence beside him. He asked Yan Tiankai, "Could you please state your request?"
Things are slowly getting back on track.
Yue Jia and Zhao Xuan were measuring data. Yan Tiankai led Su Tu as he walked and said, "...I'm going to knock down this wall and put these two spaces together to make an e-sports room! This place will be a whole row of display cabinets to store my figures... There needs to be a super-large video game rug here... And this, this, this..."
He was speaking excitedly when he suddenly felt a fierce light flash by. He turned back stiffly and was warned on the spot: "Are you done?"
"without……"
Before Yan Tiankai could finish his words, he suddenly retorted: "What a genius!"
In Shishu's opinion, 99% of this passage is nonsense, and the central theme is just one word: play.
With a cold expression, he said, "Think it over carefully, put it in writing, and then convey it via WeChat."
"Oh..." Yan Tiankai lowered his head in frustration, thinking to himself that if you hadn't paid for the design, I would never have listened to you... No way.
Before leaving, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Humph! You're just rubbing your hands! If you wanted to get me out of your world of two, just say so directly. Why did you have to make it sound so righteous..."
Su Tu: “…”
I heard it all.
There were only two people left in the huge bedroom, but she still didn't know how to face him. She turned around and wanted to follow him out, but was caught off guard by his wrist and brought back.
His body swayed a little, and he raised his head subconsciously: "You--" What are you doing.
When their eyes met, his momentum weakened again.
His eyebrows drooped little by little, and he looked like an honest man waiting to be punished in the autumn harvest.
Shi Shu, however, let go of her hand and spoke in a negotiating tone: "Shall we have lunch together?"
"I've booked a restaurant nearby. If you're worried about going alone with me, you can call them along."
Su Tu pursed his lips and looked honest on the surface, but he was secretly muttering in his heart: Even if I call them all, they can't stop you.
That's not the case now.
Everyone is here, but she is still being detained here.
She looked depressed and wasn't quite sure what she was thinking. The sense of crisis of being caught had not dissipated, but her mood couldn't help but rise a little.
After a moment of silence, he reluctantly pulled out his phone, opened a dialog box, and said truthfully, "I have to meet with this client at noon to discuss the plan. He only has time during lunch."
In this regard, Shi Shu really didn't trust her much. He scanned the chat history sentence by sentence before reluctantly changing the subject: "So what about tonight?"
“…”
Su Tu began to feel dissatisfied with his questioning again.
All right.
Even if she had found many reasons to reject him before, could this be a reason for him to not trust herself?
She looked away, then insisted timidly, "I have to work overtime with everyone else tonight. I've already asked Xiao Tao to order dinner in advance."
He looked at her wandering eyes and knew that she was probably lying, but he still followed her and said, "What about tomorrow?"
She spoke more and more quietly: "It seems there are other things to do tomorrow..."
I can hardly continue writing this story.
Shi Shu sighed helplessly: "Su Tu."
She looked up carefully: "Hmm?"
"Why are you hiding from me?"
“…”
If you dislike him, this shouldn't be your reaction.
But if you don't mind, why hide?
Shi Shu didn't understand, but he was sure that he didn't want to be disliked by her.
He didn't have the confidence or position to force her, so he could only ask her: "Why do you keep avoiding me?"
“…”
Su Tu's face flushed when he was asked this question. It was obvious that he had been exposed, but he still insisted: "I...I don't! I just really have something to do."
As I was speaking, my phone vibrated. It was a message from the client I was supposed to meet at noon, asking to confirm whether I could arrive on time.
After she checked, she immediately showed her phone to him to prove herself: "Look, you're already urging me."
What a joke.
She couldn't tell him, "I'm just afraid that you'll drag me to get a marriage certificate right now, right?"
