“Do you lack that much confidence? Chu Yi Chen’s head was lowered as he indulged in his work and said to the unmoving Gu Xiao Xiao, “Xu Ming has brought you up to me.”
“Manager Xu?” Gu Xiao Xiao shrieked, “Why would he bring me up!”
“Last time, when I was at your office, he saw us talking.” Chu Yi Chen glanced at her nervous expression and continued, “Based on what he said, you are an excellent intern. So Gu Xiao Xiao, you better take advantage of your break. Because after you come back, you won’t get a chance to relax like this again.”
Gu Xiao Xiao’s gaze turned from dim to bright. She quickly snatched a book off the shelf behind Chu Yi Chen, then sat down onto the couch and began to study.
Chu Yi Chen had many books on his shelf and most of them were books that could not be bought domestically. The book in Gu Xiao Xiao’s hand was one she had been longing for, for a long while but never bought because of its expensive price. Gu Xiao Xiao was not one who blindly admires foreign countries, but compared to this book, Gu Xiao Xiao felt like the similar books produced domestically were extremely weak!
When someone is focused on something, time flies quickly. Before long, the clock had turned 12.
Chu Yi Chen turned off his laptop and walked to Gu Xiao Xiao. He was about to drag her up and make her sleep in her room when the cellphone Gu Xiao Xiao placed on the side table rang.
It was a text from an unsaved number. But the content of it made it clear that this person knows Gu Xiao Xiao.
“Chu Xiao Xiao, it’s Xi Wen Chong. Did you go to sleep yet? If you have time tomorrow, let’s get lunch together.”
Gu Xiao Xiao grabbed her phone, a little surprised Xi Wen Zhong would know her phone number. Frowning slightly, she unlocked her screen and thought about it. Her lean and long fingers then hit the screen, sending back a text.
“I’m not in City B for the next few days. Sorry.”
“Alright, then contact me once you return. It’s late. Rest early. Good night.”
A response was received immediately. This stunned Gu Xiao Xiao a little. She tilted her head and looked at her phone. She wanted to send a text back out of respect but her wrist was grasped onto by Chu Yi Chen.
Following the pull from Chu Yi Chen’s arm, Gu Xiao Xiao stood up. She watched as he grabbed onto her hand and bit her fingertip. Gu Xiao Xiao’s face heated up a little and she asked, “What are you doing?”
“It’s late. Go to sleep.”
Arrogantly pulling Gu Xiao Xiao into his chest, Chu Yi Chen walked her to her bedroom while hugging her. The study room light had been turned off, but the lonely sad cell phone remained on the side table, emitting its eerie blue light…
Gu Xiao Xiao thought Chu Yi Chen was being strange but couldn’t place her finger on it. She laid on her bed, standardly lying on one side of the bed. Within three seconds, someone behind her dragged her into his arms.
“I have an early meeting tomorrow so I won’t give you two a ride. Remember to call me after you arrive.”
“Yes, I know,” Gu Xiao Xiao rubbed her face in Chu Yi Chen’s chest without realizing it, “We bought tickets for the high-speed rail. We’ll get there really quickly.”
Gu Xiao Xiao was actually going to stay in Chu Xiao Xi’s condo tonight but Chu Xiao Xi pushed her and locked her out. Chu Xiao Xi said if Chu Yi Chen doesn’t see her tonight, he would get jealous.
“Chu Xiao Xi said you are an easily jealous man. Are you?” Though the light was turned off, when Gu Xiao Xiao spoke, she still looked over to him subconsciously.
