Chapter 52(1/2)
Xu Shushu's busyness lasted until the second half of the following year. More than a year after Forest opened, everything was on track. She also officially became the director from a miscellaneous girl who had just arrived at Forest. Xie Li was in charge of the clothing department, and Lu Yusen was a hand-off manager. As the director, she didn't know what she was going to supervise, but she just had everything under her control.
By this time, Li En was already in his junior year.
Xu Shushu was a little free, but Li En became very busy. Firstly, his studies became busy, and secondly... there seemed to be other reasons. Often, Xu Shushu called him and he was still busy, or he would go by WeChat and he would reply for a long time.
Because of this panicking change, Xu Shushu drove by herself - she had already taken the driver's license and bought a car by herself. Teacher Liang often said that it was right to resolutely resign at the beginning - she went to Xinjing several times, but found no abnormalities.
Li En is still as cold as before, but in fact he is extremely enthusiastic.
Several times they made a fuss on the bed, Xu Shushu thought something was going to happen, but in the end Li En just kept kissing her, the kind of kiss that wanted to remove her and swallow her up, which made her distracted, and fire ignited in Li En's eyes.
Under such circumstances, Xu Shushu began to taste the taste of worrying about gains and losses.
A person who is used to being careless suddenly looked dazed and absent-minded. Anyone could tell that something was wrong with her recently.
One afternoon, the front desk suddenly called her office and said that a gentleman named Li was looking for her. She suddenly felt energetic and even her depression disappeared a lot.
Li En rarely secretly returns to City A to find her recently. The only few times he has returned to Li's house and is just with her during the day.
The front desk is new and may not know Li En, so he didn't let him come up.
"Let him come to my office directly." Xu Shushu said.
After hanging up the phone, she quickly took out the mirror to make up.
She hadn't met for two weeks, so she had to make sure she looked beautiful, otherwise she would be embarrassed to face Xiaoen.
"Please, Mr. Li." The front desk girl said politely.
Then, the glass door was knocked and a strange voice said, "Hello, Xu Shushu."
Xu Shushu looked up and saw that it was Li Wu who had not seen him for several years.
Her eyes widened in shock.
It was not because of anything else, nor was there any throbbing feelings of reunion. Li Wu had already lost his color in her past girlish girlhood. But she almost didn't dare to recognize Li Wu in front of her. Her facial features were still the same, her face was still the same, and her depressed aura and her beard that had not been shaved for a long time made him look like a man from the mountaintop cave.
Especially the cold and arrogant eyes when they were young, they have now become a long-standing miserable appearance, and no familiar shadow can be found.
"Sorry, come here without permission and disturb your work?"
After leaving the front desk, Li Wu said so.
Xu Shushu knew that Li Wu had returned to China last year. That time she and Li En heard his voice in the video. But she didn't expect Li Wu to become like this. What did he experience?
"No." She said politely. The anger and resentment he had when he was young had long disappeared because of the passing of time. Now to her, he was just a person he knew, the eldest son of his aunt and Li En's brother.
Lien's brother...
Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Li Wu discovered their affairs and came to settle the score first!
While putting away the makeup mirror guiltily, he said politely: "You sit there casually. What do you want to drink? Tea or coffee."
Li Wu sat down and said, "Please give me a glass of white water."
Xu Shushu, wearing high heels, poured him a glass of white water in a hurry.
Li Wu drank it clean in one breath. Xu Shushu noticed that his hands, which were not covered with spring water, were covered with calluses, and his skin was also sunburned, as if he was weathered.
She sat opposite her a little embarrassedly, thinking about how to deal with this matter.
If Li Wu dares to say that she and Xiaoen are not suitable, how will she fight back?... In short, she will not refuse to admit it because of face, and she can't do that kind of thing.
"You are doing well recently?" She looked for the topic.
Last year I heard that he broke up with Mi Xin. People like him, who are arrogant and indifferent must not care at all.
"As you see, I'm not very good." Li Wu looked at her directly and said, "I just came back from abroad and wanted to ask you for a favor."
"What?" she asked.
Li Wudao: "Can you... help me contact Mi Xin?"
Xu Shushu was stunned, what?
It turns out that they were not here to settle the score with her?
"I know you have chatted with her, you have her WeChat," said Li Wu. "If she is still in your address book, can you ask me where she is?"
"You, don't you?"... have they broken up?
"Breakup was her unilateral decision." Li Wu said, "I never agreed. She had been playing the scene of chasing me for too long, and I was almost out of patience. She quietly walked away from Country M without saying a word, then went to Africa and then to the Middle East. I had all followed her. Recently I knew she had returned to China, and now there is no entry and exit record, so I can't find out where she went again."
Xu Shushu was shocked.
She understood that Li Wu had been broken up.
However, this was the first time she heard someone say that seeking a reunion is so condescending and fresh and refined.
"I haven't spoken to her for a long time." Xu Shushu hesitated. To be precise, she hadn't spoken to her since Mi Xin apologized to her and embarrassedly, and the two of them hadn't even been friends.
"She didn't add anyone, and her mobile phone number was changed." Li Wu said, "Besides you, there is also her contact information, I really can't find any other way."
Seeing Li Wu’s appearance, it is difficult for Xu Shushu to remain sympathetic.
At the same time, I feel lucky that I missed Li Wu like this.
This kind of hard bone that cannot be chewed is that even if you fall in love with someone, you don’t even know how to put down your self-esteem even if you want to get back together. No, it’s not right to say this. If it weren’t for Mi Xin, Li Wu would probably never be able to talk to her in this tone in this life.
Finally, Xu Shushu agreed to give it a try and sent a message to Mi Xin in front of Li Wu.
She was not as stupid as Li Wu, and asked where Mi Xin was, so she would definitely be alert and refused to answer. She just pretended to ask about studying in Country M and asked about Mi Xin's experience, which was very studious and polite.
But Mi Xin has not replied yet.
Li Wu sat in her office for a while.
Xu Shushu couldn't help asking the reason for their breakup. If it was Li Wu's problem, there was no need for her to help hurt Mi Xin again.
Li Wu said he didn't know either, but the two were studying abroad and were very busy with each other, especially he was very busy. For him, the two of them did not need to be stuck together at all times. After all, people had to make plans for the future. But when he turned around, Mi Xin had already packed her luggage and quietly disappeared into the apartment.
Xu Shushu was secretly shocked when he heard it.
Before leaving, Li Wu stood up and said a little awkwardly: "That incident... I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I always wanted to apologize to you, but I can't let go. I'm sorry."
Xu Shushu didn't expect that he would apologize.
This apology that she had been late for several years was actually useless, and she was no longer the same one she used to be.
But she still smiled generously: "It's okay, I could have done that kind of thing. I'm that kind of person."
Li Wu was silent for a moment and finally said nothing.
After seeing Li Wu off, she sent Li En WeChat: Xiao En, what are you doing?
After a while, Li En replied: I'm busy.
Xu Shushu: Are you in the library?
Lien: Well, what's wrong?
Xu Shushu suddenly had the idea of finding Li En.
Xie Li said that long-distance relationships are very hard, and said that boys under 20 will easily be distracted, and told her to cherish them. She has taken them a little to heart recently.
He grabbed his bag, Xu Shushu went to the garage to drive. On the way, he called Teacher Liang and said that he would not go home after working overtime. In fact, he drove all the way to the expressway and to Xinjing.
Xu Shushu arrived in Xinjing at 8 o'clock in the evening. He contacted Li En again on the way. Li En said he had already returned home, but he was also in a hurry.
Xu Shushu had the key to his house, but after opening the door and entering, he found that there was no one.
The house was deserted and there was a thin layer of gray on the stove, and only the bed seemed to be like someone had slept with it.
She guessed whether he was still studying hard in the library. She had heard from Longrui that he was not a human being when he studied. The library of Jingda University supports all night long, and students often stay up there.
Xu Shushu went to the Beijing University Library again.
She searched every floor but could not see Li En. Her anxiety became more and more serious. She told herself that the two of them had missed it on the road, so she went home again, but Li En was still not there.
She remembered Su Lan told her the plot in the TV series that women should be calm, so she pretended to find nothing and continued to send WeChat to Li En.
The two chatted for a few words, and Li En also said good night to her and said she was going to sleep.
Xu Shushu's sense of crisis hit again after a year and a half in love.
She thought she had forgotten what Gu Ling said to her in this house last time, but she still remembered it.
This night, in the empty house of Reen, she remembered everything clearly.
Recently, Li En has become a little cold. It’s not that she didn’t notice it. She just confirmed with her own eyes that Li En was lying that she accepted this fact. She didn’t think Li En would fall in love with someone else or cheat, she was just afraid of losing Li En.
He smelled his shampoo in his bed and opened his eyes until midnight, tears wet his pillow, and his sleepiness finally defeated his sadness.
When she heard the door lock ringing, she picked up her phone to look at the time in a sleepy way. It was already one o'clock in the morning.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and the mattress was sinking, and it was Li En sitting on the edge of the bed to look at her.
The light in the living room was found a little and entered the bedroom. Xu Shushu faced the other side. He knew that Li En could not see her face, but she still closed her eyes nervously and did not dare to move.
He noticed the familiar breath approaching, and his soft lips kissed her cheek, but the man stopped.
"Xu Shushu." Li En said in a cold voice, "Why are you crying?"
Xu Shushu wants to hide.
