Chapter 51 Chapter 51 I’m dead.
The hotel lobby is deserted in the morning. The more than ten-meter-high ceiling makes the entire space seem even more empty. The marble and highly transparent metal glass around it create a high-end and cold atmosphere.
It was clearly an environment that made people feel visually chilled, but Su Tu's eyes felt a little hot.
Cheng Huai stood between the two people's opposing atmosphere, but he was like an outsider from beginning to end, unable to fit in at all.
After forcing himself to hold back for a moment, he couldn't help but interrupt forcefully, "Have you had enough of catching up? If you don't want to go, it's not too late to tell me now."
Su Tu ignored it and just looked at the big hand stretched out in front of him. He reached out to take the medicine bag. His fingertips touched the warmth of the palm. He paused for a moment as if the frame was frozen, then he retracted his fingers and raised his head.
Looking into those deep, bloodshot eyes, he no longer hesitated: "Do you want to wait for me to go back together?"
Shi Shu wasn't sure what she meant, just as he wasn't sure if his presence had disrupted her rhythm. His voice was a little low, "Hmm."
There was not much time left. Su Tu put the medicine bag into his pocket and asked, "Is the room open?"
Shi Shu lowered his eyes: "No."
He still didn't know if he could stay.
Su Tu didn't say much, just spread his hands and asked him: "ID card."
Shi Shu was stunned: "..."
His movements were a little slow for unknown reasons, but he didn't seem to hesitate as he took it out of his pocket and handed it over.
Su Tu took it and walked straight to the hotel front desk. He asked for a room as close to himself as possible, lowered his head to take a photo, and then turned around to return his ID card and room card.
Then he simply said, "I won't be finished working until tomorrow at noon. I'll buy your plane ticket on the way. You can go upstairs and rest first. I'll see you tomorrow when I'm done. Okay?"
implied meaning.
Don't look for me during this time.
Shi Shu still agreed.
Then he stood there and watched the two of them leave side by side.
Until now, he hadn't dared to ask her what the phrase "I've thought it through" meant.
Because he seemed to have vaguely realized it.
They already had a collaborative project, but now, instead of moving forward with it, they have to jointly participate in another project. The intersections are becoming increasingly deeper and more difficult to sort out.
She said she hadn't figured out how to explain it and asked me to wait for her.
She put him up in a hotel and was going out alone with someone else.
She said, he is the only one.
She said that person was different to her because it was her first love after all.
He didn't know what the other party was thinking.
But he seemed to have no choice but to accept it.
Even if there is always another person in her heart.
Even if she has to leave herself alone with that man like this in the future.
He promised her to go upstairs to rest, but when he entered the room and leaned on the soft and tidy big bed, he failed to successfully brew the slightest sleep from morning till dusk.
An unanswerable and meaningless question always lingers in my mind: What is she doing now?
and others.
-
From the time I saw people in the lobby in the morning.
Su Tu knew that today's inspection would not go smoothly.
Just like the project itself, it is currently just a plot of land.
It's understandable that the construction company came to inspect the terrain, but asking her, an interior designer, to discuss decoration before the outer shell has even been finalized is simply making something out of nothing and looking for trouble.
And as to why he suddenly became so stressed.
She probably figured it out.
It was probably when she was in the hospital that he heard Shi Shu's voice on the other end of the phone and sensed the clear crisis. He thought that the man who appeared beside her this time was different from usual. If he let it go, the situation might really be irreversible.
So I can't hold it back anymore and I have to take action.
It's not that he has deep feelings for her, but he is used to being held in a high position, and everything has been fine for so many years. But just after he returned to China and seemed to be responding to her infatuation, she suddenly wanted to stop performing.
How embarrassing would it be if he was left alone on the stage?
That's why he took her by surprise and dragged her out for a walk, so that he could use the new project to re-establish his control over her and consolidate her deep love for him in front of her old classmates.
The most important thing is that it can directly alienate the relationship between her and Shi Shu.
As long as Shi Shu feels uncomfortable and never comes to see her again, then the crisis of his personality collapse will be solved.
After realizing this, Su Tu calmed down and decided to go with the flow.
Because only if he thinks that he has succeeded and her relationship with Shi Shu is really in jeopardy, will he relax his vigilance and continue to advance the project after returning.
If there was an opportunity, she would like to ask him to take her back on the pretext of confirming the ownership of the house. If she really couldn't buy it back in the end, it would be good to be able to take some things away.
At that time, she was anxious to raise money, and she was also stubborn in her heart, thinking that her home would never be sold, so she remembered all the details about her life from childhood to adulthood, related to her grandmother.
It's all still in there.
Therefore, no matter how he sarcastic he was today or how he delayed returning to the hotel, she had no reaction at all. Before leaving, she even forbad Shi Shu to come to see her in front of him.
Throughout the entire day, I only sent messages twice, when I used the excuse of going to the bathroom.
When I got back to the hotel after dark, I closed and locked the door.
I opened my notebook and quickly discussed with Xiaolin the parts of the renderings that needed to be modified. If all went well, I could get the progress to the construction drawing stage in about two or three days.
I was sitting at my desk, nervously working on a meeting, when there was a knock on the door: "Knock knock—"
Su Tu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously checked the top frame.
Two hours ago, she sent him a message as soon as she returned to her room. She hadn't replied yet, so she probably was sleeping.
Is this awake now?
But Cheng Huai lives diagonally opposite.
She hesitated for a moment, debating whether to send him a message to go back first, but she still stood up with a hope, opened the door, and wanted to pull him in immediately.
But he was caught off guard by a glint of mirror light: "..."
Cheng Huai had already washed up and was standing at the door in his bathrobe, holding his computer symbolically in his hand, as if he was about to come in: "Are you still awake?"
"That's perfect. Party A sent over a few more documents. Would you like to take a look at them together?"
Su Tu frowned, not knowing whether it was because of his unfulfilled expectations or simply because of disgust. He refused to indulge him: "If you are sick, go see a doctor!"
Ten o'clock, and he came to her room in a bathrobe to discuss some construction documents that had nothing to do with her?
It would be better if he just told her that he was here to "investigate". She would still respect his honesty.
Of course, Cheng Huai had expected that he would not be able to get in, so he was not surprised to be rejected. After looking at the situation in the room through the open door and confirming that no one was inside, he felt that his goal had been achieved.
He laughed with satisfaction and went back with the computer.
Su Tu slammed the door shut with all his might.
I had been suppressing my emotions for the whole day, and after being made so disgusted, I couldn't control myself anymore.
She took a deep breath, strode to the balcony, opened the sliding door, and wanted to blow out the cool air to get some fresh air, but she was suddenly shivered by the opposing cold and hot air currents.
When I looked down, I unexpectedly saw someone swimming in the open-air swimming pool at the bottom of the building!
It’s December, 10 o’clock in the evening.
What a swimming speed!
She opened her eyes wide.
The frustration that had been stuck in my chest for a long time suddenly rushed to my forehead!
I turned back to my room, picked up my phone and dialed, thinking to myself that you'd better answer! If I find out that you haven't replied to WeChat in two hours just because you were "making progress" downstairs, you'll just have to wait for the rest of your life to be lonely!
He didn't waste a second, not even bothering to put on his coat, he pulled out the room card, slammed the door, and rushed to the elevator hall.
The long beep, accompanied by the psychologically slow elevator, formed a series of chaotic warnings in my mind, which finally merged into a hurried and angry sentence:
You are dead!
You are really dead!
The cold night is like water, and the chilly wind blowing through can instantly make people shiver and their hair stand on end.
Su Tu made two wrong runs before tremblingly swerving out of the landscape. As soon as his sight fell on the swimming pool, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Shi Shu!"
He ran closer and called out again: "Shi Shu——"
However, the figure moving at high speed in the pool remained unmoved.
In a blink of an eye, he swam to the end, touched the surface with his long arms, turned around smoothly, and continued to move forward with all his strength at a competition level.
Su Tu shouted at the top of his lungs for a long time, only to find that he couldn't hear him at all. He was so anxious that he almost couldn't hold it in anymore, so he squatted down and jumped down along the wall of the pool.
He didn't maintain his balance well, and his feet slipped due to the impact of buoyancy. He staggered in the biting cold, and fell into the water again, thrashing and choking.
After being deprived of oxygen for several seconds, Shi Shu finally swam over from the other end, but it seemed as if his way was blocked. When he pulled the person out of the pool with one hand, there was a red look of resentment in his eyes.
The night vision visibility is low, and it takes a certain amount of buffering to get out of the water. He didn't care who fell into the water, so he just lifted the person to the side and was about to let go.
But suddenly I heard a cry with a sobbing tone: "Shi... cough cough——"
He paused, suddenly took off his goggles, turned the person over, and saw a face that was gasping for breath, with a very pale complexion and red eyes. He was shocked and froze in place.
When he reacted, his face turned pale for a moment. He immediately gave up holding the man by the back of the neck, picked him up by the waist, and hurriedly turned around to go ashore.
Bring the person back to the room and put him in the bathroom.
Su Tu finally recovered a little from the extreme shock and stood shivering in the shower room. His whole body was red from the cold. He couldn't remember how to curse, but he couldn't wait to ask, "What are you doing!?"
“…”
Shi Shu was not quite sure what he had done wrong, but from the tone of his voice, he knew that it must have been a serious mistake. He felt a little anxious and panicked, and was also a little at a loss as to what to do.
Pointing randomly at the shower head, he said in a stammered voice, "Wash first."
"Why am I washing in your room?"
Su Tu glared at him, and with the attitude of not wanting to pay attention to him, he turned around and wanted to go out: "Wash it yourself!"
How could Shi Shu dare to let him go at this time, not to mention that if he delayed any longer, he would really catch a cold. He immediately forced the person in again: "You wash."
Then he took her room card and left without saying anything: "I'll go to your room."
…
Su Tu had a stern face.
I stood under the shower for a full half hour, sulking, before walking out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel and headscarf.
It was originally a sudden business trip and she didn't bring anything with her. Now her clothes are all wet. Even if she sends them to the laundry, there is no way they will dry immediately. She is still staying in his room, so how can she get out?
And that bastard, I don’t know how long he stayed in the water. When he just left for vacation, his body temperature was obviously a little off!
She was furious, thinking that she deserved to be burned to death, while at the same time she was anxiously speeding up the drying of her hair.
Without even waiting for her hair to dry halfway, she quickly put down the hair dryer, walked to the closet and took out a bathrobe. She put it on, tied the belt, and opened the door with her hair loose.
Just as he was about to walk out, a tall figure who had been waiting at the door for a long time squeezed in.
He held the door handle, locked the person inside the house, and then closed the door with his backhand.
Su Tu's body stiffened slightly: "..."
Even though she was still angry, she could sense a hint of danger from his oppressive magnetic field. She unconsciously took a step back. When she spoke, she couldn't tell whether it was more of a question or a precaution: "You——"
But before he could say anything, he stretched out his long arm and easily pulled her back, holding her in his arms with drooping brows, and then buried his head in her shoulder.
Without waiting for anyone to question her, he rubbed her neck and said, "I was wrong."
He tightened his arms, his strength as firm as his admission of wrongdoing, but his voice was so low as to show weakness, as he spoke word by word, scattering on her skin, which was tinged with a suspicious redness: "I was wrong."
"Don't be angry, okay?"
