Listening to Xu's mother's hypocritical crying next to her, Haiyao felt sad...
Isn't it possible to feel the slightest bit of sincere sadness when facing the old lady's departure?
She felt sad for her grandma, who once advised her not to argue with her mother-in-law, but to understand her grief for losing her husband at such a young age...
Grandma has always been considerate of others, but there were a few who were sincere to her, and even the tears at the funeral had to be forced out in a pretentious manner.
She didn't know if she had bowed too much, but she felt dizzy. Suddenly her vision went dark and she almost fell down.
Fortunately, Xu Yizhong next to her helped her in time, held her shoulders tightly, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Hai Yao shook her head, "It's okay."
"I'll help you go to the back to rest."
"No need."
Hai Yao refused. Since she wanted to stay, how could she leave halfway.
"I can do it, I'm just a little dizzy."
She gently pushed his hand away with a distant attitude and stopped looking at him.
When the funeral was over, Hai Yao looked at the black and white photo of her grandma with mixed emotions, and tears filled her eyes again.
She always felt that her grandma was still alive by her side.
People's hearts are all relative. When that person truly cares for you and loves you, you will naturally treat her as a relative...
She had never thought about death before.
I also think that such a thing is so far away from me...
Grandma's death left her unable to recover for a short time.
At some point, Xu Yizhong was standing beside her, putting his arm around her shoulders and saying, "Let's go."
"You look very bad. Go back and have a good rest."
Hai Yao glanced at him, then lowered her eyes, said nothing, and allowed him to take her away.
It wasn't until she got into the car that she said, "Take me back to the apartment."
Xu Yizhong looked at her and wanted to say something else, "Haiyao..."
"Can you please leave me alone?"
She didn't have the heart to think about anything else, she just wanted to be alone and quiet.
But he didn't want to give up such an opportunity, so he held her hand in his palm and said, "I won't worry if you go back like this."
That tone seemed to really care about her...
Who knows how true or false it is?
Hai Yao couldn't tell, so she could only avoid it, pulled his hand away distantly, frowned, "Xu Yizhong, don't be like this, I'm not used to it."
Just a few words made Xu Yizhong's expression freeze.
She said she wasn't used to it.
Yes, she was used to his indifference and neglect.
A small, silent feeling of guilt hit his heart. He opened his lips, trying to explain or defend himself, but he couldn't utter a single word.
In the end, I had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll take you back."
Hai Yao didn't say a word along the way. When she got downstairs, she didn't give Xu Yizhong a chance to say another word. She politely said "thank you" and left.
She has gone far...
However, he was unable to recover for a long time due to her extraordinarily distant "thank you".
Originally, the word "thank you" contains elements of politeness, and at the same time, it also seems alienated and strange.
He couldn't remember when he always said thank you to her, but she said to him with a sweet smile, "Don't say thank you to me in the future. In my heart, only strangers can say these two words."
So now, does she already regard him as a stranger in her heart?
**********
People always have to move forward, no matter how sad you are.
The next day, Haiyao gathered herself and returned to the company. She had prepared a resignation letter because she didn't think she could stay after being absent from work for so many days.
Just arrived at the company elevator and pressed the floor button.
When the elevator door slowly closed, it suddenly opened again.
Immediately afterwards, a figure that had not been seen for several days fell into view.
Lu Haiyao looked at Gu Tingchuan in front of her, and for a moment she didn't know what kind of expression she should face.
When the staff behind her saw her, they all nodded and Haiyao could only follow the same example and salute to him, the vice president.
The elevator is very crowded.
She was close to the elevator wall, but he actually stood face to face in front of her, with one hand seemingly unintentionally supporting the elevator wall, locking her within his range.
The distance between the two is so close...
Plus, there were a lot of people present.
They didn't seem to have any intersection, it looked like they were overcrowded, and he had to put his hands behind her.
However, Hai Yao knew in her heart that he had always taken an independent elevator, and it was the first time he squeezed into the elevator with everyone. Which employee would dare to be close to him? But he was so close to her, and she couldn't push him away in front of so many people.
He could only turn sideways, not looking at him, and pretend to be calm.
Little did she know, her heartbeat had betrayed her.
Her popular ears also betrayed her...
There are fewer and fewer employees in the elevator...
I don’t know if we all made an appointment, so we were all on the third floor together and hurriedly got off. Only belatedly, I stayed inside. When I realized that the two of them really seemed too ambiguous, I hurriedly left on another floor.
…
Haiyao also wanted to go out with him.
Unexpectedly, his other arm blocked her one step ahead of her, formally encircling her between his arms.
There were only one or two people left in the elevator. Seeing this situation, even if they wanted to watch a good show, they could only hurry out of the elevator in a panic.
The elevator door closes.
There were only two of them left in the small space...
Hai Yao had to look at the aggressive gaze in his eyes, looking at him with a red face and hot ears. She wanted to push his hand away, but his hand was as heavy as a stone and couldn't push it away...
"Mr. Gu, don't be like this..." She showed the proper attitude of an employee and a superior, which immediately aroused his displeasure.
"Call me Mr. Gu?" he said coldly.
He lowered his body, got closer and closer to her, and whispered in his ear, "Try calling me again."
He had been waiting for her for so long, and when she saw him, she became extremely distant and called him Mr. Gu?
