Chapter 45 Chapter 45 Props.
When he was alone before, Shi Shu always lived in an apartment in the city and only visited his villa in the suburbs a few times a year.
But ever since I made an appointment with Su Tu to teach swimming, every time I return home, I would drive in this direction out of inertia.
Unfortunately, until now, he still hasn't been able to teach her how to swim.
What I thought could be completed in a month was delayed for nearly four months due to constant changes.
I don’t know if she can still remember what she has learned after so much time has passed.
When he emerged from the elevator with a gloomy expression, Han Yi was happily sprawled on the sofa playing games, and was not having fun chatting passionately with Yu Yuanyuan on the microphone: "I mean, he hasn't come back yet."
"Tsk tsk tsk, you haven't come back all night."
"The child has grown up, and he can't look at me for a while——"
"Hey, I'm back!"
Han Yi immediately stood up and moved forward while stabilizing the game. "Fuck, what's with that sullen face of yours? Didn't your performance satisfy Teacher Su the first time? And you're being sent back so soon..."
The door closed with a "bang".
Completely block the noise outside the door panel.
Shi Shu didn't turn on the light. He took off his clothes and went into the bathroom. After a quick shower, he returned to bed, opened his phone, and scrolled through the chat history from a few days ago before frowning and typing:
Arrived Home
【Sleep for a while】
【I didn’t hide from you, and I won’t hide from you again】
【I'll tell you when I wake up】
After sending the message, I didn't turn off the silent mode and put the phone next to my pillow, but I didn't hear any sound until I fell asleep.
It happened to be lunch time, but he had been tense all night and showed no signs of relaxing. He was also anxious to wake up and check the replies, so he did not sleep soundly.
When I opened my eyes again, I felt like I was asleep, but also like I wasn't. I looked at the time and saw that less than two hours had passed.
The message sent did not receive a reply.
He stood up in the darkness, leaned against the headboard with his eyes downcast, and hovered his fingertips over the screen for a long time, wanting to say something more, wanting to ask her why she didn't reply to the message.
I just realized how difficult it is to find a suitable topic.
Only then did I realize how lacking in perspective this question is.
Why should she care about him?
When I confessed my feelings by transferring money to another account, gave him private gifts, opened my arms with a blushing face, and mustered up the courage to confirm his feelings over and over again, he chose to avoid and dodge.
Just because he came to his senses, did she have to pretend nothing had happened and then accept his confession with tears in her eyes?
If it can be easily forgiven this time, what about next time?
Do I have to take the initiative to please them in return?
Just thinking about that scene, he felt that it was too frivolous to expect her to give in this time when he hadn't done anything last night.
His face was ashen, and he continued to do it on the bed for a long time. Thinking that she probably didn't want to see him now, he typed silently:
【woke up】
[Can’t sleep too long, or you won’t be able to sleep at night]
[I ordered takeout for you. Remember to open the door and take it down later. Eat on time.]
See you Thursday
After saying that, he lifted the quilt, put on his clothes and went out. Han Yi was still there. There was no need for him to come forward, so Shi Shu walked over by himself.
After letting him gossip for a while, she carefully explained, "It's basically... She might have had some feelings for me, but I didn't realize it before. I gave her the cold shoulder for a few days while she was waiting for my reply, so now she doesn't want to talk to me anymore."
After saying that, he looked over with a desperate look: "In this situation, what do you think we should do?"
Although the person he asked was not reliable, the incident happened suddenly and he himself had no experience. It was definitely not a solution to delay it any longer, so after hesitating for a long time, he decided to listen first.
After all, this is the person with the most experience in bootlicking in his social circle.
But even though he expressed it very tactfully, Han Yi still heard something fishy: "You call giving you sexy underwear a good impression?"
Shi Shu: “…”
Han Yi's face was filled with bewilderment: "She wanted to have sex with you, but you hid for days and didn't react until I came over and took out her underwear?"
Shi Shu: “…”
Han Yi was extremely disappointed: "Damn! So you rushed out yesterday and didn't go to lose your virginity at all???"
"I thought you were about to reach home plate, but you told me you didn't even pull your hands, and now you have to be sent back to square one???"
Shi Shu: “…………”
Han Yi shook his head repeatedly. He really wanted to post a big-character poster showing his useless appearance and send it to the family group to let the elders see how great their proud grandson was!
Shi Shu had also confirmed that desperately seeking medical help would not lead to any good results. He stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped again: "Hey hey hey——"
Han Yi's expression changed in disgrace. "Now you're the one asking me for scriptures, okay? Can you please correct your attitude when asking for help?"
"With the way you walk away at the first sign of disagreement, there's no way Teacher Su would be friends with you!"
Shi Shu then stopped where he was.
She didn't say anything, but her eyes were full of pressure, as if she was giving him a last chance to speak.
Han Yi: “…”
Depend on.
Tips become suggestions.
Han Yi was not convinced, but he couldn't beat him, so he could only wish from the bottom of his heart that he would be punished somewhere else!
After thinking about it, he said, "It's very simple. Will you keep pestering me?"
Shi Shu lowered his eyes and waited for the next words.
Han Yi sighed, sincerely believing that he had very little talent. "You have to understand, when a woman tells you to get out, if you really do, that's the end of you."
"So I just keep pestering you!"
"Will you act like a spoiled brat and pretend to be pitiful?"
"It's not impossible to use props as needed."
Shi Shu was stunned: "Props?"
"Yeah." Han Yi didn't even have to lie, just giving advice normally. Thinking about how he was about to perform and sell his body outside, he couldn't help but feel secretly happy: "Didn't she already buy two for you?"
"You don't need me to teach you how to please someone, do you?"
Something flashed through Shi Shu's mind, and a restlessness suddenly rose from his chest: "..."
-
The temperature has dropped sharply recently and the sky has become increasingly dark.
There may not be many hours of sunshine throughout the day.
Su Tu has a weak constitution and is prone to minor ailments during the transition from autumn to winter, and he always catches a severe cold.
I felt something was wrong when I woke up this morning. As soon as I got home, I immediately took out the medicine box and took a dose of stomach medicine and cold medicine. After the medicine took effect, I went back to the bedroom and fell into a deep sleep wrapped in a winter quilt.
When I opened my eyes again, it was dark.
Sleeping too long can also make you feel tired.
She paused for a moment before opening her phone to check the unread messages. The change in light and dark made her eyes dizzy, and she blinked several times before she could finally see clearly.
Then she saw that Shi Shu had posted a photo of dinner about ten minutes ago, saying that he was eating and asked her if she had eaten. Before that were messages about him waking up and arriving home.
It was like he knew she might not want to pay attention to him, but he didn't want her to feel that he didn't exist.
Report every few hours.
She lay on her side on the bed, glanced at it and left. Then she pulled down the dialog box and replied to a few customers before she saw that Cheng Huai had also sent a message not long ago:
【？ 】
【What time can be adjusted】
【Are you ready for me to wait for you all night? 】
She was stunned: "..."
Only then did I remember that there were still drawings to adjust.
But now I was exhausted and really didn't want to get up. I lowered my eyes and struggled for a while, but still held on to a little luck, apologized and tried to negotiate with him: [Sorry]
[It might be a bit too late today, can I give it to you tomorrow? ]
Cheng Huai clearly had no sympathy and even heard a provocation in his words: [You can't even be honest and trustworthy, and this is your profession?]
Su Tu: “…”
People really shouldn't indulge in random fantasies.
She sighed resignedly and typed a reply: [Sorry, it’s my fault]
[I will change it now and send it to you later]
After saying that, he paused for another two minutes before gathering the strength to prop up his arms, got up from the bed, and continued in a daze until late at night, finally sending it out before dawn.
However, in less than five minutes, I received a series of revision suggestions circled on WeChat.
She revised it.
He mentioned it again.
As if testing her ability to stay up late, she repeated this several times, and when she realized it was already four in the morning.
At this time, I finally passed the test, and received a reply: "That's it, this is the level you are at."
Su Tu was a little speechless: "..."
But I was a little surprised to think that I could finish work tonight.
Maybe it’s because the overseas projects are tiring and I’m a bit old.
I couldn't bear it anymore at four o'clock.
She sympathized through the screen, but as soon as she stood up, she found her body dizzy and her legs were weak, and she almost fell back the way she had come.
He was immediately terrified, holding on to the wall for fear of death, and immediately went back to his room trembling to catch up on his sleep.
But it's already this point.
Almost as soon as I closed my eyes, the alarm clock rang again.
After staying up all night, my stomach felt even more uncomfortable. I felt a little nauseous when I got up, and I had dry heaves when I brushed my teeth.
She quickly swallowed a pill, pulled out a coat that could cover her ankles, then opened the door with a righteous look and tried to continue her work for the new day.
When she arrived at the studio at noon, Tao Qingqing was as cheerful as usual. She shouted to everyone she saw: "Come on, Sister Susu. Today's lunch is super delicious~"
Su Tu didn't have much of an appetite, but after hearing this, he still felt that he should eat something. However, when he lowered his eyes and saw the full table, which was a lunch that seriously exceeded the meal plan, he guessed what was going on, and his appetite instantly shrank again.
After a moment of silence, he smiled as if nothing had happened: "You guys eat, I just had dinner with my clients."
After saying that, he turned and went upstairs.
Looking out the window, as expected, I saw a black SUV parked at the bottom of the building.
Her face was calm as she reached out to pull down the blinds and turned back to her work.
…
When Shi Shu heard that his lunch was rejected, he never sent it again.
It was as if he obeyed her wishes and didn't show up casually again to disrupt her rhythm, but he couldn't really disappear, leaving her unable to find anyone when she suddenly needed him.
So when I have free time, I drive my car downstairs.
The reports continued, with at least seven or eight items every day about meals, daily routines, and movements. These were even more detailed and frequent than before, as if they were retaliating to fill in the gaps of those days.
Even though she never responded.
Finally, on Thursday, when I met her at the building materials market, I was shocked to find that she looked pale and listless, and she even put on lipstick to cover it up.
He frowned immediately: "Uncomfortable?"
Su Tu glanced at him without replying. He just held up the printed list and said, "Shall we look at the cabinet first?"
Shi Shu grabbed her wrist and said, "Let's go to the hospital first."
"No."
Su Tu shook it off, feeling a little troubled: "Hurry up, I have something to do in the afternoon."
She was feeling a little uncomfortable because she couldn't eat due to stomach pain, but if she didn't eat her stomach would start to hurt again. This happened repeatedly for a few days, and she did feel a little better, but she was just a little weak, not a big deal, and she had already taken medicine.
Compared to going to the hospital and having to take medicine in the end, she would rather save time and energy and get a quick resolution so that she can have some time to rest and recuperate.
She was persistent enough, and Shi Shu naturally couldn't persuade her. He could only observe her expression from time to time to see if the situation was getting worse. This made the scene look like he couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment.
This caused the shopping guide to cover her lips frequently, and unsurprisingly, she mistook them for a couple.
Fortunately, Su Tu had nothing to hide now, so he naturally didn't find it difficult anymore. He smiled calmly upon hearing this and explained calmly, "No."
"I'm just his designer."
The salesperson was stunned for a moment, clearly unconvinced, and subconsciously muttered, "Really? But you two really do look alike..."
After all, what client would stare at a designer with such nervous and concerned eyes?
Su Tu did not show any fear, but only deepened his frank smile: "Yes, because he has no idea about design."
The shopping guide said awkwardly: "Is that so..."
Su Tu also figured out the idea of looking at the materials. After all, he was the client, and wanting to decorate the house to her liking was a clear client demand.
She had no reason to refuse the customer's needs, so she tried her best to cooperate. It could also save the negotiation process. If she liked the product, she could place an order directly, which greatly improved her efficiency.
However, one morning is far from enough.
So at the end of the day, she confirmed her schedule for the week and then asked him directly, "Can we continue watching Friday, Saturday, and Sunday mornings?"
Apart from measuring the room, she generally does not arrange work in the morning. On the one hand, it is really difficult to get up early. On the other hand, if there is an emergency, there will be time to make arrangements, so there will be relatively more time in the morning.
She also knew that he was free these days, so she didn't ask any unnecessary questions.
The desire for a quick victory is already evident.
Shishu has no right to express opinions.
The only request was to take her to the hospital, but that was also rejected.
So for the next few days, he just watched her complexion getting worse, her throat getting dry, and her nasal tone getting heavier.
By Sunday morning, I was wearing a mask.
He finally couldn't help himself. As soon as he saw her at the market entrance, he wanted to force her into the car. His voice was tinged with anger: "I won't watch it today."
"To the hospital."
Su Tu didn't understand why he was angry at him, and his expression became unhappy: "Think about it, I only have time these few days."
"If you don't want to look at it, I'll either look at it myself and send you a summary of the specific models, or you can look at it yourself and don't call me out for this reason again."
"good."
Shi Shu agreed immediately: "I'll take care of the rest and solve it myself."
Unexpectedly, Su Tu was stunned for a moment: "..."
But she quickly came to her senses, nodded, and thanked him for letting her go: "Then I'll go first."
Shi Shu grabbed her arm and said, "I'll take you there."
Su Tu shook it off again: "No need."
Shi Shu frowned, his tone even worse: "I'm not kidding! You really don't look right today. I'll take care of everything from now on. Let me take you to the hospital first."
“…”
Most of the time, even if someone spoke harshly to him, Su Tu would not react. But occasionally, if he was just scolded in a stern tone, he would become stressed.
She didn't like his tone, so she refused flatly: "I'll go by myself."
After saying that, he turned around, suppressed his emotions with anger, strode back to the car, stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
While driving, my eyes suddenly flashed.
My vision suddenly became blurred.
She was startled and remembered that she had no appetite before going out and didn't even drink the hot milk.
Realizing that I might have hypoglycemia, I immediately slowed down the car, prepared to pull over, and looked for the sugar in the hand box.
But just as I let go of the accelerator, the scene before my eyes suddenly plunged into darkness.
Before I lost consciousness, I vaguely heard a "bang" and the sound of a huge fortune being shattered...
