Xia Xi: "Go downstairs now."
Xu Yanfeng was silent.
Xia Xi didn't care about anything else and made up her mind to coax the person down first, and talk about the rest after they met in person: "Don't doubt it, I'm talking about now! Now! Come out of the box and take the elevator downstairs."
Did his tone seem a bit stiff? Xia Xi realized it herself and changed her tone to pleading: "Don't ask why first, can you please come down? Xu Yanfeng, it's New Year's Day, and this is my only request. Can't you fulfill it?"
Xu Yanfeng responded to her by holding his phone and turning to walk out the door.
Someone in the box shouted at him, "Hey, Xu Er, where are you going? It's only so late, and you're leaving, you..."
Xu Yanfeng couldn't hear the rest of the words and he got into the elevator.
The box was on the 36th floor. As they went down one floor at a time, the call never stopped. Xu Yanfeng could hear the breathing coming from the other side, which was a little rapid, and occasionally one or two distant car horns were heard.
"Are you coming down?" She spoke in a more cautious tone than ever before.
Xu Yanfeng's eyelashes fluttered as he looked at the constantly jumping numbers. He was now on the eleventh floor, about to go down. He said "hmm". The person on the phone was instantly happy: "I'll wait for you!"
I'm waiting for you……
Xu Yanfeng was pondering the meaning behind these three words when a guess suddenly popped into his mind. He felt it was impossible and subconsciously denied the guess, but he couldn't think of a better explanation.
"bite--"
The elevator reached the first floor and Xu Yanfeng stepped out.
Xia Xi on the phone also heard the sound of the elevator arriving. He decisively hung up the phone, turned around, and faced the club's door instead of facing it.
Xu Yanfeng walked around the tall potted plants on the side of the elevator and entered the magnificent lobby. He ignored the waiter who greeted him and looked up. Through the gold-rimmed glass door, he saw Xia Xi waving at him.
She was wearing a snow-white down jacket, a furry hat and scarf, holding a bunch of undecorated roses in her arms, with a bright smile on her face as she waved to him.
Xu Yanfeng's previous guess was confirmed. She was actually waiting for him downstairs.
What she said, "I'll wait for you," was true.
Xu Yanfeng stopped and stared at her in a daze.
The news that Xia Xi was from Ganlin had spread throughout the school a long time ago. A person who was supposed to stay in Ganlin appeared in Nancheng, especially on New Year's Eve when the whole family was reunited.
He wouldn't be so stupid as to think that she was just here to celebrate the New Year.
She came to see him.
Xia Xi happily waited for Xu Yanfeng to come towards her, but suddenly he froze in his tracks. He must have been surprised, and that would have served her purpose. The thing people who give surprises love most is seeing the surprised expression on the other person's face.
She curled the corners of her lips, pushed open the heavy glass door and walked in.
A waiter in a suit and uniform ran over to stop her without understanding her intention, and used the same annoying trick again: "Excuse me, miss, please show me your membership. If you are not a member, you cannot enter."
Xia Xi became anxious and pointed at Xu Yanfeng who was standing not far away: "That's my...friend!" She almost lied again and said "boyfriend", but fortunately she was smart and stopped in time.
