He Xiaohui realized that she had let the news slip, and she couldn't help but feel annoyed, but then she thought that she had already posted photos of the birthday party on Moments, and Wu Cheng would know about it sooner or later.
"Because we are all colleagues and you don't know each other, so I didn't call you." He Xiaohui still maintained her usual cheerful smile and said to Wu Cheng, "I will introduce you to you again if I have the opportunity in the future!"
Wu Cheng stared ahead and replied dully: "You just said you were with friends, not colleagues. I thought I was also your friend."
He Xiaohui was speechless after hearing this, but the two had known each other for such a long time, and she had long known that Wu Cheng had a bit of a personality. Ordinary people would probably be speechless after chatting with him for less than three sentences.
"Of course we are friends, but this party is all colleagues from the company. I didn't invite you because of your consideration." He Xiaohui said to him seriously, "As you know, I just joined this new company and I want to be on good terms with them.
Communication is very important, and you also want me to get better and better, right?"
Wu Cheng drove the car silently, seeming to accept her explanation.
He Xiaohui breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Wu Cheng has a bit of a weird personality, he treats her well. She doesn't want the relationship between the two to become tense. It's best to always get along in a friendly way.
After a while, Wu Cheng asked: "Did I embarrass you by saying that just now?"
"Hey, no..." He Xiaohui smiled, "We are friends. Don't I still know what your personality is like? You are always straightforward when you talk, and you never think about stepping down from others, so I have to give it to myself.
Find the steps~haha!”
She laughed out loud.
The atmosphere seemed to have relaxed a bit, and Wu Cheng in front also smiled slightly.
"I didn't know that today was your birthday, so I didn't prepare a gift in advance." He said slowly, "You have been busy with work recently, and we haven't gotten together for a long time. If you are not in a hurry to go back, can I treat you to a midnight snack?"
After waiting for a while, he didn't hear a response. He looked in the rearview mirror and saw He Xiaohui holding her mobile phone and tapping her fingers, as if she was sending a message to someone else. Wu Cheng stopped talking.
The car fell into silence.
He drove quietly and did not try to find a topic again. He Xiaohui never put down the mobile phone in her hand.
The night was dark and there were obviously fewer vehicles on the road. I thought I would reach my destination soon, but I was blocked by a row of iron walls on the way.
The car was forced to stop.
He Xiaohui understood what was going on as soon as she saw the road ahead. She couldn't help but complain and said: "I have advised you before to develop the habit of using navigation. Even if you are familiar with every road, there is nothing you can do.
We knew in time which roads were blocked, where there were accidents, and where road construction was going on. Now that it’s better, we can only take a long detour.”
Wu Cheng looked ahead and said hesitantly: "If we go around now, we will probably miss the last subway."
He Xiaohui's face turned even more ugly.
Wu Cheng asked her: "How about I send you home directly? Where do you live now?"
He Xiaohui hesitated and looked out the car window. There were few lights in the dark night. She lived in such a remote area that it was difficult to get a taxi. If she had known this would happen, she should have chosen a KTV close to home...
"You always say that we are friends, but every time you are unwilling to let me know where you live." Wu Cheng, who was sitting in front, whispered, "As if you are on guard against me... Do you think I will hurt you?"
He Xiaohui was slightly stunned, and immediately denied with a smile: "What are you talking about? How could I not want to tell you? You also know that I lived in Jinxiu Yunju before. I thought it was too late today and asked you to take me home.
It will delay your work, okay, okay, since you care so much... I live in Jianan Street now, you can send me back."
Wu Cheng glanced at her and turned around while holding the steering wheel.
He Xiaohui took the initiative to ease the atmosphere in the car and said with a smile: "Oh, I know, are you still angry with me because I didn't invite you to my birthday party? Wu Cheng, men can't be so stingy, let's do this.
You will send me home in a while and I will make you a supper. Today I am the birthday girl and the birthday girl will make the supper herself. Is that sincerity enough?"
Wu Cheng asked her: "Didn't you eat at KTV?"
He Xiaohui curled her lips and shook her head slightly: "I ate the cake and the fruit plate, but didn't dare to order more. It was just a gathering like this, and half of my salary was spent on it."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little depressed. She sighed and said, "I have spent money and effort, all to build a good relationship with my new colleagues as soon as possible, but it is so difficult. I just looked at the circle of friends, and there are several
My colleagues didn't even mention me. Really, another girl who came in at the same time was very popular. Isn't she just prettier and has a sweeter voice? Why do everyone judge people by their appearance? Work ability is the most important."
He Xiaohui turned on the camera of her mobile phone and took a picture of herself.
She doesn't think she's ugly, but she's just a little fatter, and she's considered a plus-size girl. But don't they now advocate aesthetic diversity and reject white, young and thin people?
Confidence is very important. She has knowledge, brains and a good job, so she should be confident.
He Xiaohui showed a big smile to the mobile phone camera, "Confident girls are the most beautiful. I can't become like you."
Wu Cheng glanced at her.
He Xiaohui quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about your personality. Wu Cheng, you are actually a pretty good person, but your personality is a bit boring. You should go out with your friends more often! You have to be cheerful to be popular!"
Wu Chengmu replied blankly: "You are the only friend I have."
He Xiaohui: “…………”
The familiar embarrassment began to fill the atmosphere again, and He Xiaohui felt a headache. She really didn't like this, but Wu Cheng always had a way of destroying all the relaxation and ease with one sentence.
She didn't know what to say at the moment. She couldn't just go on and say, yes, I am your only friend, so let's meet more and date more in the future, and go out together?
What has become of this?
He Xiaohui doesn't think there is any need for further development between herself and Wu Cheng. It's fine as it is now, just helping out occasionally and talking without getting too close.
In short, it is just right to maintain the position of ordinary friends.
Because she didn't speak, Wu Cheng couldn't help but look at her a few more times and asked, "Did I say the wrong thing again?"
He Xiaohui forced a smile, "No, how could you think so..."
"Really, it's better if you don't." Wu Cheng withdrew his gaze, stared at the road ahead, and said slowly, "Maybe I think too much. Since you rejected my confession, I feel like you are not willing to see me.
I am the only friend you have, and I am very grateful that you can continue to contact me and continue to be friends with me..."
He Xiaohui smiled and said: "We have been chatting happily online. Even if we find that we are not destined to be a couple after meeting, it would be nice to be friends, right? Wu Cheng, you are too inferior. You have to be more confident.
It’s easier to be popular with girls, yes..."
He Xiaohui remembered something and asked him with a smile: "Last time you said you were going on a blind date, what happened? Did you meet the right person?"
