”I thought you knew that I was working as an apprentice assistant.” Tang Xiaoyi tried her best to explain the situation regarding Shen Mo in a distant tone, as if the two of them were once ordinary alumni.
”I've been dealing with matters related to you. I didn't know that he had been accepted.” As soon as Little Zhao entered, he felt as if Tang Xiaoyi had been crying. Her eyes and nose were red, and her voice was a bit hoarse. Now that he heard her say Shen Mo, he immediately knew that she must be in a very bad mood.
I heard that Shen Mo is her first love. Although I've never heard about this love story from Tang Xiao Ai's mouth, but first love is always engraved in my heart. Especially for girls who don't like to express their inner feelings, it's even more unforgettable.
”Little love, is there something... The feeling of things changing for the better? ” Little Zhao paused, not knowing how to comfort her, and asked softly.
”I don't know... ”How should I help him so that he can return to the past …” Tang Xiaoyi shook her head as she tried to hold back her tears, ”Didn't you see his current appearance …” The appearance of submitting to fate and being enslaved by everyone, without the slightest bit of confidence and high spirits from before, when talking to me, he had always been afraid to look me in the eye, as if he had become inferior … ”
”Life always changes people …” Little Zhao couldn't comfort Tang Xiaosi and could only pat her on the shoulder. Like a big sister who could be trusted, he gently asked, ”Little Love, do you want to call the fish? Maybe she'll make you feel better. ”
It was better to find a psychiatrist to relieve her mental frustration than to talk to a fellow worker like her. Xiao Zhao dialed Seafood's number for her.
Tang Xiaoshan wanted to meet Fish, but she was ”grounded” now, but Qin Jingning wasn't in the company, and Little Zhao had helped her arrange everything.
After all, she was not a staff member of Escrow International, but she had a lot of free time at the company and would occasionally miss her busy days with Tang Xiao Ai.
”Everyone's mental endurance is different, and everyone's attitude towards life is different as well. Perhaps what you think is lamentable is something to be happy about in the eyes of someone else …” Seafood sat by the artificial lake and spoke in a leisurely manner.
”What's there to be happy about now that you've already become like that?” Tang Xiao Yi stretched out her hand to throw a small stone. She looked at the ripples on the surface of the lake before gradually disappearing. She said in a muffled voice, ”Being accustomed to living a life of luxury, how can you endure the gloom now?”
”Do you want him to live the life of a noble young master?” The fish asked.
”I only hope... ”He can always laugh happily.” Tang Xiaoyi would rather stay in the summer of her sophomore year. She could walk past the basketball court on her way to become a home tutor or a library and take a look at Shen Mo's sunny smile.
”If Little Love has a child, would she want to create a greenhouse for him as well?” asked the mermaid from a different angle.
The situation with Shen Mo was different. He didn't know how much psychological pressure he was under right now, but from the conversation that he had with his inferiority complex today, she could tell that he still wasn't able to adapt to this kind of difference.
”Miss Tang?” A slightly surprised magnetic voice sounded from behind, the address carrying a subtle and ambiguous sense of distance.
Upon hearing that sweet and sexy voice of hers, Tang Xiaoyi's body froze in shock.
Zhong Yuqing.
He purposely addressed her with such courtesy and politeness, but she was still able to hear the mockery in his voice.
”What a coincidence, Mr. Zhong.” Tang Xiao Yi stood up and turned around to look at the tall and handsome man as she politely said.
Zhong Yuqing smiled. The curve of his lips was warmer than the sun.
When he wasn't smiling, he felt a coldness and refusal to let anyone near him. However, when he smiled, spring flowers immediately bloomed. It was as warm as an angel, a kind of illusory beauty that made others forget his danger.
”It's rare to see you resting. How about a cup of coffee?” Zhong Yuqing was asking for help, but his tone was more like an order, making it impossible to refuse.
”I have to go back to the company before 5 o'clock …” Tang Xiao Ai clearly knew that she couldn't refuse him. She had always been forcing herself to treat him like a lover. However, when she saw his face, she became flustered.
