I think you know that it's not unhappiness and unhappiness that's scary, it's happiness and joy and knowing they'll never last forever.

——Chen Sulei

If Su Xiaoyu had the ability to foretell and know in advance what Chen Sulei said, "I'll treat them to dinner sometime." What is contained in this sentence, she would definitely try her best to prevent what happened next, Too bad she didn't.

Father Su was the happiest after receiving his daughter's call. He put his arms around his wife's shoulders and said with a smile, "How is it now? If they want to invite us to dinner, I will say that our Xiaoyu will not misunderstand the person."

Things took a turn for the worse, and Mother Su was a little taken aback. The more she listened to her daughter's evasive words, the more she became annoyed. She didn't expect to become extremely generous after only one morning, and she didn't know what she was doing before.

However, it is always a good thing for others to take the initiative to say that they want to meet them. I felt a little relieved, and there was no resentment when I spoke. She sneaked around without telling us? Maybe what kind of person it is."

"Okay, okay, as long as Xiaoyu likes it, what era is it, can we still arrange her for the rest of her life?"

"That has to be carefully checked, and she can't be allowed to mess around."

"Let's think about what to wear that day? Don't embarrass our daughter. Wife, where did I put my suit?" Father Su chuckled.

Su Lei's promise was quickly fulfilled, two days later in the evening, Su Xiaoyu's parents went downstairs on time, Master Wu was already waiting downstairs, saw them bending down to open the door very professionally, Su Xiaoyu followed at the end, Seeing Master Wu's smile, I was a little embarrassed, and blushed, I opened the side door and sat in.

It was the first time for Su Xiaoyu's parents to sit in such a high-end car with the driver pulling the door. They kept saying thank you, but they also felt restrained after sitting in the back seat.The reserved restaurant is at No. [-] on the Bund. The waiters lead us all the way. The private room is facing the night view of the Pujiang River. Chen Sulei has already arrived. He is sitting there alone and looking at the menu.

Unexpectedly, the dinner for four he mentioned was so formal, Su Xiaoyu secretly looked at him after sitting down, Su Lei had a natural expression, handed the menu to the lady who was waiting at the side, and put a flat box on the table in the In front of the two elders of the Su family.

"Uncle, aunt, meeting for the first time, a small gift is not a respect."

He gave presents as soon as he came up, and he said it as a matter of course. Others put things in front of them, and the two elders of the Su family were embarrassed not to take them and open them. The flat box is made of leather. When you open it, you can see the blue sea and blue sky printed in oil painting style on the box cover. , a snow-white cruise ship, there is only one card in the box, on the back is a concave and convex route map, meandering gold.

Probably understood the meaning of this card, Su's mother was stunned, Su's father closed the lid before speaking, "Xiao Chen, right? This gift is too expensive, we can't accept it."

Su Xiaoyu didn't sit on the side with his parents. At first, Su Xiaoyu didn't see what was in the box. He thought it was funny when his father called him Xiao Chen, but after hearing it, he felt something was wrong, so he couldn't help stretching his head over to take a look.

She naturally understood the value of this gift, and she was surprised on the spot after reading it, and turned to look at him with complicated expressions in her eyes.

He smiled, "I've also prepared a gift for you, see you later."

That's not what she meant!Su Xiaoyu was stunned.

"Mr. Chen, we are not here today to get gifts. If you want to see us just to give gifts, then I'm sorry. The Chinese say that no merit is rewarded. We are neither relatives nor relatives. I can't think of any reason to accept you." Such a generous gift." Su Mama came back to her senses, put down the box and spoke.

"Auntie." He bowed, "Please don't get me wrong, I know what you are worried about, but I am afraid that I am not serious about this relationship, but the fact is the opposite. I am single, have a fair family, have experienced some things, and now everything An Ting, I just hope you can accept that I am with Xiaoyu. As for gifts, a man should be able to take care of his girlfriend and her family, make her happy, live a worry-free life, and do what she wants. This is my heart So please don't refuse this small gift, if you can accept it, I will be very happy."

He didn't speak quickly, and after he finished speaking, the others lost their voices. They felt that they understood, but they didn't understand anything. It took a long time for Su's mother to speak, and her voice was several octaves lower than before.

"Well...then how long do you plan to date?"

He was quiet for two seconds, then stood up and poured wine for them. He smiled when he spoke, and his voice was like a spring breeze, "If it is possible, I really hope that this feeling can last forever."

The two elders of the Su family glanced at each other, and went to see their daughter together. Su Xiaoyu was silent, buried her head in her teacup, with the tip of her nose sunk in, and all she could see at a glance was her forehead, which was getting whiter under the light.

The wine glass has been filled, the best rice wine has just been warmed, and there is a small dish of orange peels cut into thin strips, which fills the room with fragrance when sprinkled in.

"However, whether it is long or short, there will always be a result. The most important thing is that we can go on together, uncle, aunt, what do you think?" He sat down and toasted them.

Chen Sulei is a natural negotiator. Most people talk to him, no matter how firm their original idea is, they will always unknowingly change their original intention in the end, and they will just nod in agreement. Su Xiaoyu has seen how powerful he is. This time, today is no exception. When the young lady came to serve the appetizers, the tense atmosphere on the table had completely disappeared. What I ate was very authentic Shanghai cuisine. After the rice wine, he gradually forgot to restrain himself, and exchanged glasses with him.

Only Su Xiaoyu has been very quiet. The last dessert is sweet-scented osmanthus rice balls. The snow-white round balls float among the golden-yellow osmanthus petals, overflowing with sweetness. She loves sweets the most, but today she has no appetite at all. Holding the thin white porcelain spoon, it didn't drop for a long time.

After dinner, Chen Sulei sent them to the car, Su Xiaoyu was the last to get on the car, watching him hesitate to speak.

It was a cold winter night, her back was facing the warmth from the revolving door, her breath was hazy in the cold wind.

"What's the matter?" He said goodbye to the two elders of the Su family who had already sat in the car, then lowered his head and asked her, suddenly remembered something, and took out a small thing from his coat pocket and gave it to her, "Sorry, I almost forgot. "

She took it instinctively. The thing she just took out of his pocket was not cold in her hands. Looking down, it turned out to be a car key, and the silver logo shone under the light.

She froze, but he smiled and said, "Happy New Year, do you like it?"

She was standing beside the car, with her parents' eyes behind her, and him in front of her. The car key lay quietly in her palm, so small and so heavy that she almost couldn't hold it.She moved her fingers, but finally closed them. She slowly raised her head and smiled hard at him.

After dinner, it was still Master Wu who sent Su Xiaoyu's family back. After going upstairs, Su Xiaoyu was uncharacteristically silent, but it was her father who spoke first, and put the leather box in front of her with a smile.

"Daughter, this gift is too generous. Your mother and I shouldn't have accepted it, but if you don't accept it, people will be over-hearted. The most important thing is that you can achieve a positive result. It will make us happier than a hundred cruises. Things we don’t need now, let’s leave them with you first.”

Su's mother gave her wife a push from the side, "When you're drinking, you're talking nonsense. Let's talk about these things later when there are results. Go take a shower first, you smell like alcohol."

Su Xiaoyu didn't speak, and looked down at the leather box that fell into his hand. The lid was tightly closed, and the leather surface was dull. The gorgeous background and golden card when he opened it just now seemed to be a dream of Nankey. No matter how hard he tried, he still felt vague.

Before going to bed, my mother came into the room and sat on the edge of her bed to watch her.

Before eating, her mother was always very quiet, but now looking at her like this, Su Xiaoyu felt a little uneasy.

"Xiaoyu, Mom and Dad have seen it today."

"Yeah." She sat on the bed and answered softly.

"You like him a lot, don't you?"

Su Xiaoyu was quiet for a long time before answering this time, half of her face was buried in the quilt, and finally she said "um", the voice was so low that she couldn't hear it clearly.

Mom sighed, "Xiaoyu, mom is not an old feudalist. If you really like yourself and have not been cheated or forced by others, I will not force you to fall in love. But Xiaoyu, what is our family like?" You know best that that man is too far away from our family, he is not in the right family, and you will have to face many things in the future. Also, although this man looks very kind and his words are pleasant to my ears, but I I just feel uneasy in my heart, and I don’t know why.”

Lifting her face to look at her mother, Su Xiaoyu moved her lips and spoke in her heart.

Mom, this is your woman's intuition, commonly known as the sixth sense, which is really accurate and powerful.

When the cheetah walks, its limbs fall silently, the more dangerous the creature looks, the gentler it looks, only the crabs need to bluff, and those who look fierce are all because they have no confidence. By analogy, the degree of danger of Chen Sulei is really unfathomable ...

She said these few words in her heart. Of course, her mother didn't hear them, and then she chatted with her daughter. How could there be any results after talking like this, she finally stood up with a sigh.

"Forget it, let's take a step at a time for the future, go to bed early, and go to work tomorrow?"

"Of course I go to work, what if I don't go to work?" This time Su Xiaoyu's answer came very quickly.

This time my mother finally smiled after hearing it, patted her on the head, and said, "Good boy." Before leaving, she closed the door for her, leaving Su Xiaoyu in the dark room staring at the ceiling, tossing and turning, full of heart. The brain is full of those two sentences.

He said that if possible, I really hope this feeling can last forever.

He said whether it is long or short, there will always be a result, and the most important thing is that we can go on together.

How beautiful!Why did she sound so sad?

It was cold outside the window, and she suddenly wanted to be hugged. In order to restrain that feeling, she finally wrapped her hands around herself, curled up in the bed, and then forced herself to close her eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, Chen Sulei did not enter the company. He said on the phone early in the morning that there were some things that needed to be dealt with. He asked her to sort out the project proposals left by Lisa, and said that he would contact her in the evening, with a gentle voice, and finally said sorry, nothing happened in the past two days. I spent time with her, and never mentioned the car until I hung up the phone.

Just after putting it down, someone called her again. It was Tang Zhongwen, who said that the recommendation letter was ready and asked her if she still needed it.

Of course she wants it, Su Xiaoyu deserves it quickly, he is still free after get off work, she sorts out data in the office, cooks noodles for herself at noon, stands up to pack things at that time, the car key has been silent Lying quietly on the table, they are all brand new things, next to them are the parking badges and access magnetic cards prepared by the building management office, neatly stacked together.

She looked at it and was fascinated again. In fact, they have affected her from time to time throughout the whole day. Waiting for her, the location marked on the parking space card is surprisingly good, the elevator is directly accessible, and there is no need to take a step.

Yang Yan said that a car can give her a sense of security more than a man, and her nightmares never include not being able to find a man, only not being able to find her own car.

Male lions run and chase antelopes all day long in the fields. In ancient times, males were born and died to bring back their prey. Now that society has progressed, men can finally express the same meaning calmly. I give you a gift, I treat you well...

I can't watch anymore, Tang Zhongwen is still waiting for her, he hates being late the most, and she never wants to waste other people's time.

Wanting to call Su Lei, her fingers had already landed on the number keys, but she didn't finish dialing that number in the end, she slowly put her hands in her pockets, turned and walked out.

The footsteps disappeared, and the office was silent. The car key was still lying in the original place, and there was no sound in the sunset.

Although the New Year is coming soon, Tang Zhongwen's company is still busy. The receptionist already knows Su Xiaoyu, and when she sees her, she smiles and leads her directly to Tang Zhongwen's office.

He was waiting for her in the office, working on the computer, seeing that she didn't stand up, he nodded as a greeting, and then motioned her to sit down.

She walked to his desk and sat down. He pushed a file bag, and she opened it. Inside was the recommendation form and a thick stack of project certificates.

These are all the projects she participated in when she was in BLM, but BLM doesn't exist any more. I don't know how much effort he spent to help her get all the proof materials. After reading it, Su Xiaoyu's eyes were full of gratitude.

"You're welcome, let's talk about it after you get the interview qualification." He spoke first.

"Okay, but even if I don't get the qualification, I still have to thank you very much." Su Xiaoyu was very sincere.

He looked at her, and it took a few seconds before he spoke, "Thank you?"

"..." Su Xiaoyu choked when he didn't expect him to be so straightforward.

There was a knock on the door outside, and then someone came in without waiting for a response. It was Fan Wen, who saw Su Xiaoyu smiling, and then yelled at Tang Zhongwen, "It's time, why don't I notify the people from the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce today?" Are you not going?"

He stood up and said, "No, you go first, I'll be right over."

Fan Wen nodded and left, blinking at Su Xiaoyu before leaving, Su Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed by him, but Tang Zhongwen's voice sounded next to him, "Well, since you are here, I just want to help you."

"Okay? What do you need me to do?" Zhengchou didn't know how to repay him, she answered quickly.

"I'm short of a female partner for the chamber of commerce tonight. If the secretary has something to do, you can support me." He still had a serious face when he spoke, and looked down at her clothes again, and said, "A suit is fine, I don't mind." .”

The location of the Zheshang Chamber of Commerce is in Maoyue, and Su Xiaoyu is no stranger to this place. A long time ago, she participated in the celebration party for the success of her first project here, and even chatted with Bei Lining on the glitzy terrace. long time.

Memories are full of beauties and beautiful scenery, but Su Xiaoyu feels complicated. The familiar scene reminds her every minute of that day repeatedly, and there is always some subtle resistance in her heart, so when Tang Zhongwen led her into the arena At that time, all Su Xiaoyu thought about was when he would have the opportunity to leave as soon as possible.

However, receiving someone's kindness of water should be reciprocated by springs. Tang Zhongwen helped her like this before, but now she is not asking her to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire.
