Why did Xia Xi keep the photos from six years ago? She even made a secret album to hide them from anyone except herself.
Xu Yanfeng tilted his head, his face full of bewilderment. He really couldn't understand it.
According to Xia Xi's character of never dragging his feet, after blocking all his contact information, the next step should be to delete the past memories. How could he have preserved them properly?
If she liked him, why was she entangled with Zhou Du? If she said she didn't like him, how would she explain the encrypted album full of his photos?
After thinking for a while, Xu Yanfeng's mind went blank and his heart was confused.
What does Xia Xi mean?
He wanted to rush to her immediately, shake her shoulders, and ask her why she kept these photos?
Xu Yanfeng kept scrolling down the screen, trying to find evidence that Xia Xi didn't love him. Even if he found a photo of Zhou Du in the encrypted album, he could convince himself that she was just nostalgic and not missing him.
However, when he flipped through the album, he found that there were only photos of him and photos of the two of them together, and no third person.
Some of those photos he had never seen before, as they were taken secretly by Xia Xi.
There was a photo of him asleep on the sofa, a pillow in his arms. Xia Xi leaned close to him, poking his face with a finger. When he didn't wake up, she smiled at the camera. They were both wearing home clothes, and he recognized the background of the photo as his off-campus apartment.
Xu Yanfeng walked out of the bathroom with his cell phone, sat down on the edge of the bed, and slowly flipped through the photos from the last one. He could recognize where each photo was taken, and fragments related to the photo played in his mind.
Guan He knocked on the door outside but got no response. After waiting for a while, he saw that the time for the meeting with the client was approaching, so he had to push the door open and enter the room without permission.
As far as the eye can see, Xu Yanfeng was standing with his legs open, looking down at his phone. It seemed as if there was an invisible cover covering him. He was in a world of his own, isolated from the outside world.
Guan He said carefully, "Mr. Xu, I just received a message from the front desk that Mr. Wilson has arrived."
His voice broke the silence. Xu Yanfeng slowly raised his head and looked at him for a few seconds, his eyes gradually returning to their usual cold sharpness. "I understand." After a pause, he ordered, "Find a fast delivery service to deliver this phone to Boya Design Company."
Guan He nodded: "Okay, I'll do it right away."
As he turned around, Xu Yanfeng regretted his decision and called out to him, "Forget it, there's no need to look for it."
Guan He paused and looked at him in confusion.
Xu Yanfeng didn't explain. He stood up and put Xia Xi's phone into his trouser pocket. When she found out her phone was missing, she would find a way to find him.
Don’t miss the opportunity given by God.

Xia Xi made a cup of coffee and sat down to modify the renderings, adding a sunroom as requested by Xu Yanfeng, the client's father. This was easy, and she could finish it in less than an hour.
“Knock knock—”
Someone knocked on the door. Xia Xi put down the coffee cup, pursed his lips, and looked towards the door: "Come in."
The door was not opened immediately. The person outside the door was hesitating about something. After waiting for several seconds, Xia Xi was almost losing his patience, and then the person slowly pushed the door open.
Xia Xi was a little surprised to see Jiang Tian, but then she remembered the argument she had heard outside the meeting room. She pretended to be unaware and asked in a natural tone, "Manager Jiang, what's the matter with you?"
Jiang Tian is about 1.75 meters tall. He wears a black suit, a blue striped tie that he neatly ties, and his hair is neatly combed, which fits the image of a "customer manager" very well.
At this moment, he placed his palms together in front of him, looking embarrassed. "After thinking about it, I think I should come over and explain to you. Gao Ge is upset and had a few words with me. I don't know how much you heard outside, so don't believe what she said."
Xia Xi dispelled his concerns with three words: "I don't believe it."
Jiang Tian had something else to say, but she stopped him. He smiled wryly and said, "I hope I didn't cause you any trouble." She said she didn't believe it, and the subtext was that she heard those words.
Xia Xi's attitude remained the same, neither warm nor cold, just indifferent: "No."
Jiang Tian: “…”
Gao Ge's words suddenly popped up in his mind -
"No matter how well-intentioned you are, no one will take you seriously."
"A dog that licks will end up with nothing."
"You, a toad, want to eat swan meat, but you can only dream about it. You can't eat it."
Although the words were harsh, they were also the truth. Precisely because they were the truth, he was filled with shame and anger, lost his composure, and started arguing with Gao Ge.
Looking at Xia Xi's expression again, it seems calm, but in fact it gives people a sense of distance, as if no matter what you do, you can't get close to her, let alone touch her heart.
Jiang Tian sighed silently and, looking for a topic to talk about, began to complain about Gao Ge: "When you first joined the company, I told you that Gao Ge was too arrogant. She always thought she was the best in the company and couldn't stand others looking down on her. Lately, maybe it's because of her age, but she's been extremely angry and bites everyone she sees. You're generous and don't make a fuss about it, but she doesn't know how to give in. Sooner or later, she's going to fall out."
Xia Xi had work to do and really didn't want to waste time listening to Jiang Tian badmouthing others. She stopped looking at him and stared at the computer screen. When Jiang Tian finished speaking, she glanced at him and said in a cold voice, "Manager Jiang, no matter what Mr. Gao's character is, it's not gentlemanly to talk about a woman's age behind her back."
Besides, Gao Ge is only 36 years old, so how can he be considered "older"?
