Chapter 33 Chapter 33 "Isn't it handsome?"
That night, Xia Ji moved back to his room and left the door unlocked, waiting for Si Cheng to become the dog. However, Si Cheng never went to look for him.
I played games until eleven o'clock and fell asleep. When I woke up, there was no sign of sleep.
ox.
Summer grit.
After washing up, I went downstairs to have breakfast. Ding Man was the only one in the restaurant.
"Auntie, good morning." Xia Ji sat down at the dining table.
Ding Man asked in surprise: "Why are you up so early today?"
"I didn't play games yesterday."
The servant brought some of his usual breakfast and placed it in front of Xia Ji.
Xia Ji drank some milk and glanced at the wall clock. It was only a little after eight o'clock. Normally, Si Cheng would come over for breakfast around this time, so he asked, "Where's my brother? Hasn't he gotten up yet?"
"He left early. He had a business trip today, so he went to the company early. After dealing with company matters, he went straight to the airport." Ding Man said.
"Business trip?" Xia Tian asked in surprise.
"Yes, didn't he tell you?" Ding Man was also surprised.
Xia Tian shook his head slightly.
After returning to the room, Xia Ji took out his cell phone and called Si Cheng.
Si Cheng picked up the call quickly.
"Awake so early?"
"You didn't tell me you were going on a business trip?"
The two of them said it almost at the same time.
"I had a last-minute job last night. A project in London had problems, and I was asked to go there in person. I saw you were still asleep this morning, so I didn't wake you up."
After washing up that morning, Si Cheng went to Xia Ji's room to take a look. Xia Ji was sprawled out, the quilt rolled up around her waist, her delicate white arms and legs spread out, her face serene and tranquil. He gave her a kiss before leaving.
Xia Tian's anger finally subsided a little. "London?"
"I've booked two tickets. You're coming with me." Si Cheng tucked his phone between his ear and shoulder as he gathered the papers covering his desk and put them into his briefcase. "I'll take you to the Aurora concert after I finish my work there."
Xia Ji remembered that he had told Si Cheng before that he wanted to go to the concert of this British female singer. It was just a casual remark. When he saw the video, he casually said, "Oh, I want to go too." He didn't expect that Si Cheng would remember it.
"Okay." Xia Tian's heart suddenly softened, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up. She wanted to snuggle into Si Cheng's arms and act coquettishly.
"Pack your things. I'll ask the driver to pick you up at the company after lunch."
"Okay~"
After hanging up the phone, Xia Ji threw the phone onto the bed and jumped onto the bed, rolling several times.
It's January now, and the temperature in London is similar to that in J City, so just bring a few clothes that you can wear now.
Xia Tian quickly rushed into the cloakroom, dragged out the suitcase, and began to stuff clothes in. It was just ten o'clock when she finished packing, and she sat on the bed and played with her phone for a while.
Because I was in a good mood, I sat cross-legged on the bed, took a few selfies, and posted them on Weibo.
As soon as he sent it out, his agent called him and said that there was a variety show to be recorded on January 22nd, and several leading actors of "Night Rain" would be there to promote the movie.
Xia Ji agreed, hung up the phone, and checked Weibo again. He found that Qin Shuangge had just posted a Weibo to promote his New Year's movie "Back to Youth". He has more than 60 million fans, and the post became a hot topic on Weibo within a short while.
"Night Rain" and "Boyhood Again" will both be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and they may compete with each other at that time.
During the days when he didn't log into his social media account, his agent also forwarded him the promotional information for the movie "Night Rain", but even after buying the hot searches, the popularity was not high.
Fortunately, Xu Yuan has a big name and his popularity has spread.
After having lunch at home, Xia Ji said hello to Ding Man and took a car to the company with his suitcase.
Ding Man was holding the cat and reading a book in the living room. She just let him have fun and then let him go.
The headquarters building of Taixin Group is located in the CBD center of J City, and all three buildings belong to their company.
The car drove into the underground garage, and Xia Ji took the elevator directly from the basement floor to the office on the top floor of Sicheng.
Everyone in the general manager's secretariat knew Xia Ji and told him that Si Cheng was holding an emergency meeting in the conference room of the Ministry of Commerce. Xia Ji then went into the office and waited.
It was less than one o'clock when he arrived, and it was two o'clock when Sicheng finished his meeting.
Si Cheng pushed open the office door, holding his suit jacket in one hand and two documents in the other. Behind him followed his special assistant Du Feng, who also had a pile of documents in his arms.
Xia Ji was lying on the sofa playing games, and on the coffee table next to him were fruits, snacks and drinks brought in by the secretariat.
"These are all reports for the Yaohu Wetland Villa Project, and these are the drafted contracts." Du Feng divided the documents into two piles and placed them on Si Cheng's desk.
Si Cheng casually put his coat on the back of the chair and unbuttoned the collar of his shirt. "Got it, you can go out first."
"Okay." Du Feng nodded at him, left the office and closed the door.
Si Cheng drank water from the cup in one hand, walked to the sofa and stood there watching Xia Ji play games for a while.
"Ah! Damn!" Xia Ji finally threw away his phone and sat up. He looked up at Si Cheng and asked, "What time is your flight? Why do you have so much to watch?"
His eyes were already big, and when he looked up like that they looked even rounder and bigger, as if his eyes took up half of his palm-sized face.
"It's a little after five, so we'll leave at four. You can make a plan first and decide where you want to go." Si Cheng touched the side of his face and his ears.
"What's there to do? I've already been to most places." Xia Ji turned around and lay down on the sofa, facing Si Cheng. "Is there anything you need me to do? I can help. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"
"No, someone will bring it to me later."
Xia Tian suddenly felt distressed and gave half of the document to Si Cheng, asking him to ask anything he didn't understand.
When the girl from the secretariat brought in the meal, she saw Xia Ji sitting cross-legged in the boss chair behind the desk, while Si Cheng was sitting on the sofa.
Because the coffee table is too low, it is not convenient to work on it.
"General Manager." The girl shouted, holding the lunch box.
Si Cheng put away the documents and asked her to put down the lunch box.
The girl put down her lunch box and went out.
Xia Ji bit the pen, and when she went out, he took the report that seemed to have problems to ask Si Cheng.
Si Cheng answered him while eating.
He ate quickly and gracefully, his eyes scanning the documents and he quickly noticed something was wrong.
Seeing how serious he was, Xia Ji couldn't help but pinch his chin and kiss him on the face, smiling with the corners of her mouth and eyes curved.
"I find you really handsome when you're working hard."
Si Cheng was still looking at the report seriously, "Do it seriously. Isn't it handsome to be in love?"
Xia Ji: “…” He deserved a beating, and I couldn’t help but hit him.
Si Cheng turned his head to look at him and asked, "Isn't he handsome?"
Summer gives the middle finger.
Si Cheng's deep gaze swept across his fingers and then returned to his face, "Only your fingers are handsome?"
Xia Tian felt a tingling sensation on her back as he stared at her. She felt like her body was about to react. She quickly covered his face with the documents and shouted, "I'm really convinced! Are you going to look at the documents again?"
Si Cheng smiled and let him make a fuss.
By the time Sicheng finished processing the pile of documents, it was already past three in the afternoon. The two of them rested for a while and then took a car directly to the airport.
Both of them are tall and good-looking. Although they wore masks in the summer, they were still recognized by two fans in the VIP lounge and asked if they could take a photo with them.
Both of them became fans after watching the TV series Xia Ji had acted in before. They were not familiar with Si Cheng. In addition, Si Cheng was serious, so they didn't dare say anything after he refused to take a photo with them.
"What handsome two people."
"That tall guy looks familiar. Is he really not a celebrity?"
"Probably not. He even refused to take a photo."
"No, some celebrities will refuse to take photos if they have private schedules."
We arrived in London around 6pm local time. It was already dark and drizzling. The white driver had driven ahead and was waiting at the airport.
After getting in the car, the two went directly to the old villa area in the city center. The Si family had a property there. They had lived there before when they came to London, and it was also equipped with security guards, servants and chefs.
Si Cheng still had to deal with some documents sent from China, so after getting off the car, he went straight to the study with the documents and laptop to hold a video conference.
Xia Ji called Ding Man and told her that they had arrived in London.
"That was pretty fast. Are you tired?" Ding Man was playing mahjong with three girlfriends in the hotel.
I saw a video she shot before the summer. The four sisters were wearing all kinds of Chanel and Hermes. They were rich and beautiful.
"Not bad." He was a little tired, but definitely not as tired as Si Cheng. Sometimes he felt that Si Cheng was really trying too hard. Obviously, Ding Man survived in this life, and Si Guanqing was still there, so there was no need for him to work so hard.
"If you're tired, take a good rest and go out to play tomorrow. Be careful not to catch a cold, okay?" Ding Man stretched out her slender hands with manicures and played mahjong while talking on the phone.
"knew."
After saying that, Ding Man hung up the phone.
Dinner was Chinese food prepared by the chef. The taste was the same as that made by the chef in the old Si family house, fresh and light, but I didn’t have much appetite in the summer.
Si Cheng knew about his problem. Whenever he went out of town, his appetite would be poor for a day or two, so he only let him drink a bowl of yam and pork ribs soup.
Xia Ji propped up his head, watching Si Cheng roll up his sleeves, revealing his slender arms as he served him soup, and asked, "Brother, are you tired?"
Si Cheng raised an eyebrow and placed the small bowl of soup in front of Xia Ji. "Are you talking about before or now?"
"Before?" Xia Ji was puzzled.
Si Cheng put it another way, "I feel tired physically sometimes, but when I wake up I feel full of energy and want to do everything better."
Only by doing better can we protect the people we want to protect.
"But you don't need to work so hard. Look at Ye Ning, Liang Xuan, and the others," Xia Ji said. Working so hard from dawn to dusk, how could he look like a 19-year-old?
"I want to try my best to bear what I can bear, so that even if some of it collapses one day, as long as I am still standing, the things I bear will still be there."
When he said this, he didn't look at Xia Ji. He just picked up the food and ate normally with no expression on his face.
Xia Ji understood what he meant. In his previous life, the people of the Si family fell one after another, which was like a mountain collapsing in Si Cheng's heart. After his rebirth, all he had to do was to become that mountain himself, the mountain that he could rely on as long as others stood beside him.
