Summertime

The whole day, Xi Zao was not in the state, and she stayed up all night last night. Today, she squinted her tired eyes, lying on the table, reviewing the furniture design samples of the autumn series sent up below. Today's work is not counted. There are many, but facing the fine rules and regulations, long and short lines, sizes, and squares, she can hardly see anything.Drowsy, she nestled in the office and struggled to work, but the whole morning passed, and she didn't even finish changing a single drawing.

"Everyone went to eat, why are you still here?"

At [-]:[-] noon, Gu Xia came in at some point.

"No time, no work done."

Seeing Gu Xia coming in with a lunch box, Xi Zao seemed to have seen a savior, she let out a sigh of relief, collapsed on the armchair and refused to get up again, she had no intention of reading any more of the dozens of drawings in front of her.

"What did you do last night? Look at your dark circles that look like pandas."

Xizao just smiled foolishly, but didn't answer, and Gu Xia didn't ask any more questions. She put the lunch box on Xizao's messy workbench, and simply made a small space for the food in the food bag. , put the spoons and chopsticks and then said.

"The green peppers have been picked out for you. Eat them while they are hot. After eating, lie down on the sofa for a while. It's not too late to do the artwork after you have a rest. At two or three o'clock, I will come and wake you up." you."

Before Xizao could say thank you in the future, Gu Xia pushed the door open and went out. Xizao pursed her lips, happily pushed aside the work in hand, picked up chopsticks and chewed food, and hurried out early in the morning, breakfast She didn't have time to eat, and now her belly has already stuck to her back.

In fact, what Xizao wanted was to cheer up after lunch and finish the work at hand, so that she would not have to work overtime at night, and she could go home early to catch up on sleep, but after the meal was full, Xizao was even more sleepy Both eyelids opened, and the fight was so joyful that she couldn't even open her eyes. Xizao raised her head tiredly and looked at the wall clock on the wall, it was 55:[-].

Let's take a nap, anyway, Gu Xia will come to wake him up at that time, the tired Xizao dragged his limp body, unsteadily climbed onto the reception sofa opposite the desk, and plunged into the soft and comfortable sofa. In the sponge, lethargic.

Xizao's uncharacteristic behavior today is indeed very rare. Being sleepy due to lack of sleep is only one of the reasons. The other reason is of course because of Su Xi. When I was about to go out this morning, Xizao finally had a cell phone after being quiet all night. The sound, Xizao glanced at it in a hurry, and what was displayed on the screen was a friend verification from WeChat. She didn't click on it, but took her bag and rushed out of the house in a hurry.On the way to CouCi, Xizao became confused, dazed and distracted. She couldn't remember how many red lights she ran through the intersection. It was obvious that she was thinking about something, but no matter what she No amount of thinking is futile. As soon as she entered the gate of CouCi, she involuntarily clicked on the message with her disobedient fingers. Before she sat down at her desk, Xizao had already passed a friend verification from WeChat. It was from Su Xi.

It's really ironic, back then she cruelly deleted all of Su Xi's contact information and swore that she would never communicate with her again, but today that person reappeared in her address book, all decisions were made by herself, and she swore to I was the one who broke the contract, I was the one who deleted her, and I was the one who put her back. Xizao had to laugh at her inconsistency in words and deeds and lack of principle.

However, after the verification, there was no movement on the other end of the phone. While waiting, Xi Zao went through all the content in Su Xi's circle of friends from beginning to end. It was nothing more than family, children, food, etc. , travel, pets, party photos, and a few emotional texts, the college days and things before that, Su Xi has already deleted, and the circle of friends can only be traced back to the days after Su Xi came to Shanghai, Xi Zao felt boring, He stopped looking at it, put his quiet mobile phone on the messy desk, and started working.But Xizao is really not suitable for half-heartedness. If she can't concentrate, her work efficiency will only be low and low. In addition, she had no sleep last night, and today she has no intention to work.

Forget it, just let nature take its course as Moyou said, don't think too much, it's futile to think too much, just take one step at a time.After sleeping and waking up, all troubles will disappear, and I will be refreshed again. Put everything in front of me first, and it will be no big deal after waking up.

But no one seemed to wake Xizao up, and when Xizao woke up from the gloom, she found that the surroundings were quiet, and the curtains were closed at some point, and she was in a daze. It was day or night, the cold wind of the air conditioner seemed to have been turned up a few degrees, but Xi Zao still felt a little cold, she turned over and subconsciously twitched the thin blanket that appeared on her body at some time, uttering a whisper like a dream Sound, when consciousness gradually became clear, Xizao began to grope in the gap of the sofa in a daze, and finally she touched a hard cuboid, pressed the Home button, a dazzling white light lit up in the dimness, and the screen displayed Time made Xizao, who was half-closed, jump up from the sofa in an instant.

It's already eighteen o'clock, and it's already past the time to get off work. She has slept for such a long time. Why didn't Gu Xia come to wake her up?

"Wake up, wait for me, the work at hand is almost done, let's eat together later."

There seemed to be someone talking on the workbench. Xizao turned her head and found that the sofa was several knots lower than the workbench. He raised his head at the table and smiled at himself.

Xizao stared blankly at Gu Xia's glasses under the dim light as they slipped onto her tall and thin nose, those crescent-like eyes shone brightly under the light, tender as water.Xizao suddenly felt uncomfortable, she didn't know what was in those shiny glasses, because Gu Xia had never looked at herself with such eyes.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Xizao coughed in embarrassment.

"You have been unconscious for a long time, how can I wake you up, not to mention you are still talking in your sleep, I want to ask, who is Su Xi, you have called it many times."

Gu Xia put on her glasses again, lowered her head and continued to work, the lenses reflected light, Xizao couldn't see what Gu Xia's expression was like now, but the teasing and jokes in her voice made Xizao's face turn red .

Xizao didn't answer Gu Xia's question, she bent down to put on her shoes, walked to Gu Xia's side, and frowned and blamed.

"Why did you finish my work? Wouldn't it be good to wake me up? What's more, don't you have a social event today, why do you still have time to stay with me?"

On Xizao’s workbench, long rulers, drawing tools, markers, manuscripts, official seals, red seals, all the messy accumulations have disappeared. It seems that all the objects have been returned to their original places and classified one by one into their respective In the box and drawer, Gu Xia must have tidied them up, and the work that originally belonged to Xizao was almost completed by Gu Xia.

"Let Tianxing go for me for the entertainment. He can handle it. I'm afraid you will wake up and have to work overtime alone, so I will stay and help you."

"……thanks."

Xizao feels ashamed, the studio is the painstaking effort of the two of them, but what Gu Xia has done for CouCi, I will never be able to compare with, now except thank you, Xizao has nothing to say, Xizao secretly vowed to work harder in the future , not only for CouCi, but also for Gu Xia's care for her all the time.

"Thank you. When I was sick, you were not the one who supported CouCi. I haven't said thank you yet. Why did you say it? Besides, do we need to thank you? Be polite to me." what!"

"Can……"

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it, the work is done, and I'm hungry, let's go eat."

Gu Xia didn't let Xizao continue to argue, she stood up, took off her glasses, picked up her bag, took Xizao's hand and walked out.

"Hey, wait, I haven't packed it yet."

Being surrounded by Gu Xia, Xizao almost didn't stagger and fall because of the sudden turn around. Seeing Gu Xia's anxious look, she must be really hungry. The employees of CouCi will be surprised when they see that the boss who is usually serious and polite also looks anxious.

"What are you thinking, are you in a daze again?"

"No, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Xizao picked up the bag on the sofa, turned off the light above the workbench, then closed the office door, took Gu Xia's smooth arms and walked out.

"Come to my house, I want to eat what you make."

"Aren't you so hungry? Cooking is a waste of time. Why don't you just find a small restaurant and have a casual meal?"

"No, I want to eat your sweet and sour pork ribs."

"Then, let's go to the supermarket quickly, I feel like you're going crazy hungry."

"Don't go back tonight, stay at my house."

"You won't lie to me to go to the dinner again?"

"No, no, I downloaded a lot of movies, and I want you to watch them with me."

"..."

"Go, go!"

"Okay, I'll go, I'll go..."

Days passed, and there was no movement from Su Xi's side. After Tongtong's birthday party, Zhou Mi never contacted Xizao again, as if they had never met, never talked, or they had never known each other at all. .But what are the unfamiliar phone numbers in the address book, and what are the various updates about them in the circle of friends.

Xizao is now just living his own life quietly as in the past, as if that reunion with them was just a small episode in a peaceful life, it doesn't disturb Xizao, Xizao It's still the same as usual, going to work, working, and leaving work. From time to time, she will go to Gu Xia's house to accompany her to cook, watch movies together, and discuss work and CouCi's future. This is the greatest entertainment in Xizao's life.

Xizao believes that what should come will always come, there is no need to wait, and there is no need to look forward to it, God has its own arrangements, just let it be.

If it weren't for Su Xi, the days would have passed without any worries or worries, and it would be the kind of life she wanted, even if she died alone, anyway, Xizao has long since gotten used to being alone, which is pretty good.But one day in the future, she may go on a blind date, get married, and have children according to her family's wishes.The pressure from her parents may make her choose to compromise, because since there is no one she particularly likes, there is no need to continue to insist on anything. In the end, marrying someone is not a life, it is just a matter of extra tableware .

Xizao had already simulated the rest of her life, but just a week after she calmly accepted the future prediction, Su Xi finally sent a letter, overturning all the plans that Xizao had conceived.

14:25——Mi is going on a business trip to Beijing for the next two days, can you come and stay with me during this time.

16:00 - OK.
