Chapter 55
Every word Su Orange recognize, synthesize a sentence and a little readable, what do you mean in her home downstairs, she is now in Nanping, not in the capital north city.
Su Orange signs froze in these few seconds, Zhou Yuchen directly called the phone over, she paused, hesitantly connected, not quite sure to feed a sound.
“I’m waiting for you downstairs, come down.” Zhou Yuchen’s voice came from the other end of the receiver, and under close listening you could hear the sound of a dog barking, the dog’s bark was very recognizable, not that kind of woof-woof, but elongated.
Woof-woof-woof-woof-woof-woof-woof-woof-woof-woof-woof.
There was such a one in her neighborhood, and every time she heard it barking, Su Orange had the feeling that she couldn’t breathe for it.
Like it was stuck by something in its neck and would suffocate in the next second.
Dog?
Dog!
Su Orange reacted as an afterthought, no, that dog barking was her neighborhood. She jumped out of bed with her cell phone, ran to the window sill in three steps and two steps, pushed open the window and looked down.
There was a man standing next to the green belt, blazing white light slanting onto his body, he was wearing a light-colored trench coat, he was holding his cell phone while talking on the phone and lifted his head, his voice had little rise and fall as he said, “Did you see it?”
Su Orange wasn’t sure if he had seen her, it was too dark and her vision was blurred, but she did see him.
“Want me to go up to you?” Zhou Yuchen saw that she hadn’t said anything and spoke again, “Your home is on the fourth floor?”
Su Orange reacted, first giving a hmm, then saying, “No, I’ll go down myself.”
If he comes up, not to mention other things, Zhou Guiqin would probably go crazy, with a man coming to her door in the middle of the night, she would interrogate her in three chambers, and if it’s serious, she would also ask for a statement.
As for what this statement is, it is nothing more than dating and marriage.
Su orange thought of this scalp is numb, do not dare to delay a minute, take the jacket downstairs, while walking to adjust the mood, to the first floor when there has been no party fluctuations.
He is just a party, and he is going to get married, those old stories of theirs are not worth mentioning.
With her hands in her pockets, she walked frankly to Zhou Yuchen, looking at him like an old friend she hadn’t seen for a long time, “Why did you come to Nanping?”
“Something to deal with?”
Zhou Yuchen sized her up, wanting to see something in her expression, stared and looked for a long time and saw nothing, his eyebrows knitted, “Looking for you.”
“Looking for me?” Su orange pressed down the heart palpitations, let the face look as usual, detached, “Looking for me to do what?”
“Your leader didn’t tell you?” Zhou Yuchen’s words just fell, Su Orange’s cell phone rang, Liu Mei called.
Su Orange said “wait a moment” and took the phone to the side to answer the phone, “Director.”
Liu Mei: “Mr. Zhou happened to go to Nanping to do business, I told him about you in Nanping, you will come back in his car later.”
“Huh?” Su Orange said, “Aren’t I on vacation? You forgot.”
“What vacation.” Liu Mei impatiently said, “First talk down the cooperation in front of you, then take a vacation later, the cooperation is not going well, I’m almost busy.”
Su Orange pursed her lips, out of the corner of her eye she glanced at Zhou Yuchen, he was smoking, white smoke exhaled from his mouth, the dust floating in the air were reflected by the light.
After the smoke was blown away by the wind, his face was reflected, his complexion was a little dark and unclear, it was impossible to see what he was thinking.
The inner changes could not be glimpsed, but the outer ones were still clear at a glance, Su Orange saw that the trench coat he wore was a high-fashion model, the wristwatch he wore was also a limited edition model, even the leather shoes he wore on his feet were the most popular kind in Paris.
His outfit, from inside to out, must be at least seven figures.
Probably this is the gap, eight years have not seen, he in the clouds, she is still at the bottom of the struggle, although the salary is also not bad, but there is no comparison with him.
She and he have reached the point where they can’t even compare.
Liu Mei was still saying something, “I know you haven’t had a vacation for a long time, I promise you that as long as this project is signed, you will be granted half a month’s vacation, and the company will reimburse you for wherever you want to go and play.”
“Su Orange you are not an insensitive person, now Zhou always is our party A, as a member of the company, you have to appease people for me.”
“Okay, no more, you take his car and come back.” Liu Mei hung up the phone straight away.
Su Orange stood in place, struggling internally, it’s better not to get involved in anything if you can.
She walked over and looked straight at him, “Don’t bother, I can go back by myself.”
“Whatever.” Zhou Yuchen stubbed out his cigarette and threw it into the trash can, his tone was light, unable to see any emotional ups and downs.
Su Orange saw that he was going to leave, and did not stop, watching from behind, intending to wait for him to leave and then go upstairs, when suddenly her cell phone vibrated.
Liu Mei sent her a weibo message.
Director General: [I just forgot to tell you, take Mr. Zhou’s car and come back, this is a work arrangement, you can’t refuse it].
Su Orange: ……
The workers can only listen to the leader, if they don’t want to listen, then they will fight to be the leader themselves or change the leader, Su Orange has no intention of leaving the job for the time being, so she can only give in.
She returned:[Ok, got it].
She raised her head and looked at the figure walking out into the distance, after struggling for a moment, she called out, “Mr. Zhou.”
Zhou Yuchen did not stop and continued to walk forward.
Su Orange caught up, “Mr. Zhou.”
Mr. Zhou did not respond, walking slowly with one hand in his pocket.
“Zhou Yuchen.” Su Orange called out his name, because she was walking too fast, her breath was also a little gasping, so her voice sounded like a tremolo, like the scene when the two were together in those years, when he pressed her against the wall and kissed her, she called out his name.
Zhou Yuchen stopped and slowly turned his head, quietly looking straight at her, waiting for her to open her own mouth.
Su Orange pursed her lips and opened her mouth under his gaze, “I’ll take your car back.”
Her head was low and her voice was small, the sound of the dog barking in the distance could be covered, not knowing if Zhou Yuchen really didn’t hear or didn’t hear, hmmm, “What?”
Su Orange made a swallowing motion and raised her head, “I’ll go back in your car, is that okay?”
This time the voice was louder, but Zhou Yuchen was reluctant again, “It’s not convenient, you’d better go by yourself.”
This man…
Su Orange saw that he was going to leave, subconsciously reached out to tug on the hem of his shirt, and stopped when she was about to touch it, and retracted her hand, they were no longer in a relationship where they could casually touch each other.
She politely said, “Trouble you, thank you.”
Zhou Yuchen had his hands in his pockets, touching the lighter and playing with it, his fingertips scratching out a sound on the body, which sounded quite harsh.
But the good thing was that the sound was small and could only be heard by himself, so his emotions were only known to himself.
Su Orange saw that he hadn’t opened his mouth, and asked again, this was the last time, she thought well, if he shouldn’t, she wouldn’t pester.
There were plenty of ways to return to Jingbei, there was no need to have to take his car.
“May I?” She asked.
Zhou Yuchen slowly lifted his eyelids and lazily returned, “Uh-huh.”
Taking off that layer of mixed-up prodigal son’s coat, he was actually quite cold.
“I’ll go pack up my things, wait for me for five minutes.” The words fell, Su Orange hurriedly ran back.
Not looking carefully at the road, almost fell, Zhou Yuchen saw this, his eyebrows first frowned then slowly loosened, the fingers pinching the lighter for a long time before there was movement.
A few moments later, he went to the car first.
Zhang Yang called him, “No, Brother Sam where did you go.”
Didn’t you say there’s a next game? He’s been waiting for three hours, where is he? Where did people go.
“Something to do.” Zhou Yuchen’s clear voice spread out in the car, covering the sound of music in the car.
Zhang Yang had a good ear and heard someone singing on his side and asked, “You went to the bar by yourself?”
“No.” Zhou Yuchen rested his elbow on the car window glass, his head poked out slightly, seeing Zhang Yang still asking, directly said, “Came to Nanping.”
“Oh, went to Nanping ah.” As the words fell, Zhang Yang paused, “Where? Nanping? What are you doing in Nanping.”
“You care about me.” Zhou Yuchen disliked the person, again with that bad look.
“You wouldn’t have gone to look for Su Orange, right?” Zhang Yang uttered this unlikely possibility, “No ah, didn’t you just say you don’t care about Su Orange?”
In the next second, Zhou Yuchen directly hung up the phone.
Su Orange put the bag in the trunk, pull open the door to get in the car, see the car only one person is quite surprised, so far away he drove alone?
Surprised to be surprised but she did not ask, after all, there is no position to ask.
After getting into the car, the car did not start for a long time, Su Orange: “There is something else?”
“Am I your driver?” Zhou Yuchen coldly asked.
Su Orange didn’t understand, “What?”
“Sit in the front and come.” Zhou Yuchen looked back at her through the rearview mirror, “I’m only a driver for my wife, are you?”
Su Orange was certainly not, she pushed open the door and sat numbly in the passenger seat, obediently fastening her seatbelt.
The car drove out of the neighborhood not long, Zhou Yuchen cell phone rang, it was an old man’s call, Zhou Yuchen called him Grandpa, told him that he had something to do tonight and would not go home, letting him sleep on his own first.
The old man read a few sentences and hung up the phone, not long after, another call came in.
Caller ID Feng Zhao.
After connecting, Feng Zhao’s excited voice came through, “Brother Sam, you came back from the old United States?”
Zhou Yuchen said in a faint voice, “Uh-huh.”
“Good to be back, good to be back,” Feng Zhao was too excited, “When Zhang Yang just told me, I thought I was dreaming, really, it’s good to have you back.”
“Get together sometime.” Zhou Yuchen said.
“No problem.” Back then, a few people from their dormitory room stayed in Jingbei City, it was still convenient to make a dinner date, Feng Zhao said, “I’ll arrange it, I’ll let you know when I’ve arranged it.”
“Right, will you still use this cell phone number in the future?”
“Uh, use this.”
“I called you a lot earlier, you didn’t answer.”
“Lost my cell phone, no way to replace the card.” Zhou Yuchen explained in a faint voice.
Su Orange’s temples jumped abruptly, looking over with a sideways glance, something flickering in her eyes.
“That…you now?” Feng Zhao stammered a little.
“Quite well.” Zhou Yuchen replied out of the corner of his eye seeing Su Orange looking at him, the tip of his eyebrows raised, returning, “Not single.”
Feng Zhao crouched, “I knew you couldn’t be by yourself.”
Su orange’s heart hit the ground with a thud, raising the snow in the sky, freezing her fingers, she couldn’t help but think, it’s only the end of October, how could it be so cold.
Along the way she did not say another word, Zhou Yuchen also did not say, the car playing a song, “rush those years” lyrics are quite appropriate. May I not see you in the next life, do not owe, do not miss.The following is a list of some of the most important things that you can do to make your life easier.
Nearly one o’clock before arriving in the north of the capital city, Zhou Yuchen parked the car in front of a private restaurant, Su Orange looked out through the window glass, “Where is this?”
“I’m hungry, eat first.” Zhou Yuchen unbuckles his seatbelt, pushes the door to get out of the car, then walks towards the front, pauses when he’s almost through the door, turns around and folds back, pulls open the passenger door, and lowers his head to ask, “Why don’t you come down?”
“I’m not hungry,” Su Orange said, “You eat your food, no need to send me, I’ll take a taxi back.”
I don’t know if it’s the emotions accumulated along the way that put Zhou Yuchen in a bad mood, or something else, in short, his expression suddenly became heavy, his arm against the car door, poking his body in, looking askance at Su Orange, “You don’t even want to see me?”
Three times they met, each time they were avoiding, how sick of him was she.
Zhou Yuchen’s bad mood reaches its highest point, what bullshit gentleman and patience are gone, pressing her shoulders to put her against the back of the chair, lowering his head and pressing closer, the knot in his throat rolls, wanting to say something.
After a few moments of stalemate, he gave up again, “Forget it, whatever.”
He came out of the car, took out cigarettes and lighter, inclined his head to light up and inhale, his shoulders and back were not as erect as what he saw in the daytime, and the person also appeared to have a few lonesome.
Su orange through the car window glass to look at him, only to see his crisp side arc, jaw tense, look really bad.
She pursed her lips, just about to say something, he opened his mouth first, “Su Orange, is there still a possibility–”
Su Orange remembered what he said in the car about not being single, remembered Sun Xia, and those lingering thoughts felt like they were instantly cleared away.
The heart that had been beating chaotically all night also returned to peace.
She and he are just the relationship between party A and party B, nothing else.
She calmly and calmly returned, “No way.”
Then said:
“Zhou Yuchen, we broke up.”
“Eight years ago.”
