"I understand, I understand, today's aesthetics are all in the young fresh meat stage." Xiao Chen smiled.
Su Man choked suddenly, coughed a few times, and pointed at Xu Benben, "This is considered an old bacon. If he and I look at each other, we will be like a bastard looking at mung beans."
She didn't look like she was bluffing. Xiao Chen was still a little confused, "Then are you a bastard or a mung bean?"
Su Man took a bite of the dragon fruit and said, "Of course not. Is your recent work too unsatisfactory and you are asking about my life?"
Xiao Chen shook his head quickly to show his innocence.
It's just that the existence of Su Man and Xu Benben is just like the existence of Bai Qiumiao and Zhou Xun. The cooperation between the two parties is so tacit that people will naturally and unconsciously pull them together.
Of course, although Xiao Chen was nosy, he also felt that Su Man and Xu Benben were not compatible.
Even though Xu Benben is tall and tall, he still feels that he cannot hold Su Man down.
Over there, Xu Benben had already started typing on his phone and showed Su Man a number, "Medical expenses and the cost of replacing the door lock."
"What door lock?"
"I saw that you didn't open the door, and I heard your cell phone ringing inside. Time was running out, so I opened the door."
"Why is it so expensive?"
"The landlord said that she used the best materials, so the price was a little higher." Xu Benben glanced at Su Man's expression, "I tell you, my brothers are still settling the accounts!"
Xiao Chen finally believed that the relationship between Xu Benben and Su Man was really innocent.
How can a boyfriend ask his girlfriend for money? Wouldn’t it be a joke to say this?
Under the pressure of her colleagues and Xu Benben, Su Man had to stay in the hospital for two days. She was so bored that she turned on the camera and played with Chacha while Zhou Xun was at work.
The two of them were having a great time. Su Man didn't notice that Zhou Xun had opened the door and came in. Chacha came over to greet him, biting his trouser leg, and motioned for him to come to the camera and play with Su Man.
It was too late for her to turn off the camera.
Zhou Xun squatted down. He couldn't see her, but she could see clearly. She saw his Adam's apple rolling, "Have a rest today?"
"Well, I finally took a day off today."
With a snap, the camera was cut off from that side. When the screen went black, Su Man saw a dazed version of herself.
What is this man doing?
The next moment, his video call came through, and the moment it was connected, he saw her roomy hospital gown.
His beautiful eyebrows immediately turned into twists, and Su Man laughed at how ugly he looked.
She rested for two days, and some of the color returned to her face, which looked much rosier than when she first came in.
"Why are you sick?"
"The temperature here is abnormal. After staying up for several long nights, I really couldn't bear it any more, so I came here to get an intravenous drip."
Zhou Xun responded, "There's nothing going on here lately. I'll come over tomorrow."
"No." Su Man refused subconsciously. She didn't want Zhou Xun to see her haggard and fragile side, "I will be discharged from the hospital soon, and the work here is about to be finished. You are undoubtedly here to help your colleagues."
They add invisible pressure.”
"But you're out there alone..." It's too hard.
"It doesn't matter. Everyone is taking good care of me. I will be discharged from the hospital soon."
A male voice with a loud voice appeared on the other end of Su Man's video. He was talking about firewood, rice, oil and salt, how much money he spent on shopping today, and yelled for her to reimburse him.
Su Man heard helplessly, "I know, just tell me the number and I'll transfer it to you then. Is it possible that I still cheated you with this small amount of money?"
"Okay, you are awesome, Su Dashan."
When Su Man came to her senses again, the video between her and Zhou Xun had been interrupted. When she called again, no one answered.
It took a long time for Zhou Xun to explain, [Sorry, there is a temporary online meeting, it is not convenient now.]
Su Man hummed twice to express understanding.
On the day she was discharged from the hospital, Su Man was in a very good mood. She took Xiao Chen to the outfield with her. Xiao Chen was not even as energetic as Su Man, and she was panting heavily behind her.
The two ran for a long time, and the sun followed them for a long time, and it rained again.
They were drenched. Su Man sneezed several times and hurried to hide from the rain.
Su Man didn't want to be carried back to the hospital to lie down just after she came out. This would make her sick even more.
At the end of the year, Su Man still stayed in the northwest, enjoying the wind in the Gobi Desert with Xu Benben.
"Aren't you going to go back?"
"The work here hasn't been completed yet, so I can't bear to part with this small place."
Su Man held up her own can and clinked glasses with him.
"Hey, although this place is small, it has everything, and the folk customs are also very simple."
The work in the northwest was coming to an end, and Su Man suddenly felt reluctant to leave this place.
She originally only regarded this project as a job that she could do before being promoted. But after she devoted herself to this work and found out a path suitable for the development of northwest China, she felt that she was giving birth to a hope.
This Northwest project is no longer just a job for her, but a work that she has carefully polished.
When Xu Benben heard her remarks, he shook his hand and said, "It seems that you are very suitable to work for a capitalist now."
"You know nothing." Su Man scolded Xu Benben with a smile.
"Master, I also hope you can stay in the northwest." Xu Benben looked at the moon in the sky.
The two of them wrapped their down jackets tightly, "Why?" Su Man looked at him.
Xu Benben couldn't answer why, but he always felt that the current Su Man was not the real Su Man.
What he wanted to see more was Su Man from three years ago, rather than the woman who was bent by reality now.
"Think about it, how free it is here, and how nourishing your life is with me accompanying you every day?"
Su Man took a step aside in fear, "Forget it, some people thought that we were having an affair before."
"Why do you say it so harshly? At best, you are just talking about love."
"I can't stand a man like you." Su Man looked at him, "You are just like Xu Qingcan. You are both wind. The wind cannot surround a person. You always have your own vast sky."
"What about you? Where do you belong?"
Su Man took a sip of beer, her eyes a little confused, where does she belong now?
"Belonging to half a decadent woman who works with an oil bottle."
"You actually described Chacha like this. It would be so sad for the puppy to know."
Su Man laughed and hit it, "It doesn't matter. Anyway, the conflict between Chacha and I didn't last more than one night. It will forgive me."
There are a few lonely stars hanging in the distant sky. They are so far away from the moon, but Su Man believes that as long as they persist, they will always meet their own moon.
