Shi Jiajia was sitting on a chair struggling to wake up.

Until she squinted her eyes and noticed that Xu Huaisen seemed to glance at her unlocked phone, and then slowly remembered the contents on her phone before she fell asleep.

!

No need to wake up anymore, Shi Jiajia suddenly became energetic.

She hurriedly went to get her cell phone, but due to her anxiety, her hands slipped for a moment, and the phone fell to the ground with a clatter.

Shi Jiajia became more awake after hearing this voice, and even felt a little chill on her sober back.

Then Xu Huaisen knelt down, picked up her mobile phone, and handed it to her with the back facing up.

It was as if she had no idea what she was looking at on her phone.

Shi Jiajia silently took the phone, feeling so embarrassed that her toes curled up.

Especially when I thought of the words "the innocent secretary is hot", and then looked at the man in front of me, who was her assistant, a gentle and clean man.

"..."

This damn sense of substitution.

"Working overtime, are you done?" Shi Jiajia woke up again and had to comfort herself. Xu Huaisen might have seen what novel she was reading, stiffened his neck and laughed twice, "It's too late, I fell asleep."

Xu Huaisen: "Yeah."

Shi Jiajia stood up and said, "Then let's get off work quickly."

Xu Huaisen drove Shi Jiajia home in the Cullinan as usual.

The road conditions in Lincheng at midnight were much clearer than during the day. Cars were driving smoothly on the road, and the street lights were sparse and empty.

Shi Jiajia, who was in the back seat, yawned and saw a photo of a table of late-night snacks sent by her mother on her phone, asking her to work overtime for the first time in her life today.

Shi Jiajia suddenly remembered something while looking at this late night snack.

"Assistant Xu," after a moment of hesitation, she leaned forward and asked, "Do you have any other plans for tonight?"

Xu Huaisen, who was in the driver's seat, was somewhat silent by this question.

It's already this late.

"No." However, Xu Huaisen still answered as he was told.

It was only when Shi Jiajia asked that she realized that her question seemed too deliberate. It was already so late and she had to go to work tomorrow. Could it be that she was going to a disco later? However, since she received the reply that there were no other arrangements, she could naturally lead the question. The topic she wanted to talk about.

Shi Jiajia sent out the invitation with a bit of joy: "I made supper at home. Anyway, you will take me home later. How about we go in and have some?"

Xu Huaisen didn't expect that this was what Shi Jiajia was going to say.

Because she worked overtime too late, she invited him to her house for a late-night snack.

As an assistant, you cannot refuse the work tasks assigned by your boss, and sometimes, you cannot refuse the kindness of your boss to you.

But at this moment, Xu Huaisen was holding the steering wheel, looking forward, and still replied: "Thank you for your kindness, it's too late, no need."

Shi Jiajia raised her lips when she heard Xu Huaisen's polite refusal: "I just went in to have something to eat, so I won't waste any time."

"Did your family make midnight snacks for you at home?"

Other than that, she couldn't think of any reason why Xu Huaisen would reject her.

Xu Huaisen listened to Shi Jiajia's mutterings. The man still drove the car smoothly, but suddenly said softly:

"I have no family."

Shi Jiajia was stunned for a moment when she heard these words.

"You don't have any family members?" She remembered that she was trapped in the elevator and found out that Xu Huaisen was unmarried and single. "What does this mean, where are your parents?

Xu Huaisen calmly stared at the empty road at midnight. When Shi Jiajia asked about his parents, he heard himself reply in the tone he usually spoke to her: "They are all dead."

"Dead?" He said as if nothing happened, but Jiajia's eyes immediately widened in the back seat. Although it is common in literature, film and television works, in reality, she has grown so old, and this is the first time she has seen someone over 20 years old. A person whose parents are no longer alive at the age of [-].

Shi Jiajia subconsciously asked: "When did they die?"

"Can you say it?"

After she asked, she immediately felt something was inappropriate. This was a very personal and saddest thing for a person. There was no need to share it with others. She immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I, I was a little presumptuous. I didn't mean it." of."

"It was all when I was 14 years old." Compared to Shi Jiajia's awkwardness, Xu Huaisen answered calmly.

It seemed like he was talking about the most common thing to him.

Shi Jiajia was once again so shocked by the answer that she couldn't breathe.

14 years old ...

Even "all"...

In other words, when Xu Huaisen was almost a child, he had no parents?

Shi Jiajia felt flustered as if she had accidentally revealed some big sad secret, and then she saw Xu Huaisen in the front seat was still driving, but his mood didn't seem to have any ups and downs.

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to ask you this." Shi Jiajia apologized again.

Xu Huaisen felt behind him that Shi Jiajia felt embarrassed after asking something he shouldn't have asked, and answered her again: "It's okay."

When Shi Jiajia saw that Xu Huaisen really didn't look like he was going to be angry with her, she felt a little relieved: "Okay."

……

That night, Shi Jiajia was still lying alone on her two-meter-long lace princess bed.

Maybe it was because she had eaten a lot of late-night snacks at home and her stomach hadn't yet digested them, or maybe it was because of other reasons. Shi Jiajia found that she had always slept well and had insomnia again.

Tossing and turning, all I could think about was what I unexpectedly learned tonight.

Xu Huaisen actually has no parents.

His parents died when he was 14 years old.

As Shi Jiajia, who has lived on her parents since she was a child, she doesn't even dare to think about what she would be like without her family.

She is such a loser, she can't study well, she can't go to work, and she loves to spend money. She will definitely not be able to survive a day without her parents.
