I met Li En again one evening after New Year's Day.

It was very cold that day, about a few degrees below zero, almost to the point where if you wear snow boots outdoors, you will be so cold that you can stamp your feet. Xu Shushu sorted out the clothes that the trainees had borrowed, handed over what they should dry clean and ironed to the interns, and discussed the next clothing theme with Xie Li before he could breathe a sigh of relief from the busy day.

Life seems to be similar every day. When I go to work, eat, and get off work, I buy something to fill my stomach, and finally return to the single dormitory several stations away from the company.

Xie Li only bought a car recently, but Xu Shushu was sent by him several times. Once, when he called Shu Jinan in the car, he found out that he took Xie Li's car to and from get off work. The next day his assistant sent a new car key.

Xu Shushu was shocked. This gift was too expensive and she didn't dare to accept it.

Shu Jinan didn't care, as if this was nothing to him.

Xu Shushu knew that the artist's income was very high, but she was not a very material person. So after Shu Jinan gave her gifts, she would rack her brains to return the gifts, which made her short of money every month.

She had no choice but to say, "I don't even have a driver's license, why are you sending me a car?"

Shu Jinan's career is rising, and she has no time to meet her, let alone accompany her.

It’s not so much about falling in love, but rather about falling in love online.

He knew this was inappropriate, so he wanted to compensate somewhere: "Then accept it first, you go and take a driver's license. If you don't like this, we'll change it."

After hanging up the video call, Xu Shushu didn't know what to say.

She felt that they were not as stressful as they could give each other such expensive gifts.

Shu Jinan's assistant comforted her: "Miss Xu, you don't have to be too stressed. Brother Jinan has always been generous in his actions. Who has confiscated any of his girlfriends before?"

Seeing Xu Shushu being slightly stunned, the assistant quickly added: "I'm sorry, I didn't say that you are the same as them, you are the most different one! Brother Jinan didn't treat you as those girls--"

"I know." Xu Shushu came back to his senses and smiled, "After all, it's a company, I can still tell the difference."

The relationship has been confirmed in the past few months, and the two of them have never been very familiar with each other, and Shu Jinan has never rushed to move on to the next step. Except for a few dates, he has not even kissed his cheeks. Firstly, there are too few opportunities to meet, and secondly, he can feel that Shu Jinan's attitude is serious.

After seeing off the little assistant, Xu Shushu sent a text message to Shu Jinan while going downstairs.

After leaving the automatic door, the cold wind blew, Xu Shushu shivered in cold weather, and then he saw Li En standing next to the pillar.

After not seeing each other for a few months, Li En seemed to have lost weight a little. I don’t know if it was because of his growth, he was very tall.

Like when he was a child, Li En still had the habit of wearing a hat in winter - he wore a black woolen hat, a white bread suit, jeans, and a paper bag in his hand.

He didn't realize that Xu Shushu had already come out, and he quietly looked at the fountain at the door of the company, as if there was something interesting inside, which made him unaware of the surroundings for a long time.

Her heart suddenly jumped, what is this little devil doing?

A colleague passed by next to her and said in a silly manner in her ear, "Shu Shu, is this a new trainee? It looks so clean, Oh my God... I like his face very much..."

Xu Shushu came to his senses: "Ah?"

She glanced at Lien, but he still didn't notice it, "I don't know. I haven't seen it either."

Leaving the colleague to admire him alone, Xu Shushu turned around and entered the automatic door again, intending to walk from the other side.

Halfway through the way, she stopped.

What are you doing? She suddenly became a little angry. What are you afraid of? She is just a little devil who went astray during adolescence, and she won't be really going to be like this. Besides, she can't see him for the rest of her life, right?

Also, maybe I haven't contacted me for so long, Xiaoen hasn't had that idea anymore. After all, he is so smart, and it's quick to think clearly!

Thinking of this, Xu Shushu turned around and walked out of the main door again.

But Lien was no longer there.

She subconsciously looked around and saw colleagues coming off work everywhere, and there were no Lien wearing a black woolen hat.

Through these people, she searched for the tall and thin figure everywhere, and couldn't help but regret her escape just now.

In fact, after so long, Li En is alone in this city. She really wants to ask if his feet still hurt, if there are any sequelae, and also wants to ask how he is doing recently.

Putting aside those ridiculous thoughts, how could he say he is still the little kind she likes?

"What are you looking for?"

A familiar voice behind him asked, a little dull and a little cold, just like his behavior.

Xu Shushu turned around and almost ran into him behind him.

Standing close, Li En used that condescending angle, his two eyelashes were thick and dense, and he just looked down at her.

He opened his lips lightly and asked again: "What are you looking for when you walk halfway?"

It turned out that he had seen all his actions just now.

Xu Shushu's face became hot, and he thought to himself, fortunately he came back and didn't run away, otherwise he would have been laughed to death.

"That, I... suddenly wanted to find a colleague to ask something." Xu Shushu looked calm, and his tone was just right with a little surprise, "Xiao En, why are you here?"

Lien may know that she is lying, but she did not expose it.

He said in a very cooperative manner: "I happened to have the opportunity to pass by here today, and I will send you the things my mother sent to you so that you don't have to go there specifically."

"What?" she looked at his paper bag.

"It's corned beef." Lien handed it to her, "The relatives in the countryside sent yellow beef. My mother marinated a lot, and sent it in vacuum packaging after it was cooked. She said that the meat in the countryside was very good and healthy. If you like to eat meat, let me give you a serving."

Xu Shushu suddenly relaxed, it turned out to be an aunt.

Aunt Xie has been a housewife all her life and is very good at cooking. She has eaten a lot of pickled and braised products that Aunt Xie has sent to her home before.

"So much? Wow..." Xu Shushu took the bag happily, and his eyes were full of greed. "You can buy some wine tonight and eat it while watching the show! Thank you aunt for helping me."

"Don't eat too much at once, or you may have a sore throat the next day." Rein pointed out the key.

"Yeah." She was busy smelling the smell.

She doesn't care, she must eat enough tonight!

Xie Li only got out of the elevator and came downstairs. He saw her standing in the crowd with a boy, and patted her on the shoulder: "Xu Zhuzhu!"

Xu Shushu shook and slapped his backhand: "Xie Li, you are going to die."

"What are you doing here?" Xie Li always said nothing, "Abducting the young and handsome guys and making a fuss out of the wall?"

Many people inside them know about Xu Shushu and Shu Jinan's dating.

If Xu Shushu had just talked to him in a random way, he would have been a little embarrassed at this time.

Although she almost reached the point of abduction, she was not a young man, but a minor, and her level of guilt was doubled.

But Li En spoke first: "Hello, I am Xu Shushu's younger brother, my name is Li En."

Xie Li smiled: "You are Xiao En."

Xie Li knew about Li En's sprained foot last time, and also knew that Xu Shushu had not brought the key to live in Li En's house last time.

He has heard the name Lien many times.

I wanted to say something, but was pushed out by Xu Shushu.

"You're leaving." Her face turned a little red, afraid that he would tell him something that made Li En misunderstand, "Your boyfriend is here!"

"What about the ghost..." Xie Li looked out indifferently. It turned out that his newly dating model boyfriend arrived, "I'm leaving!"

He ran to the door and stretched his head back and said, "Do you want to take you? It's raining!"

"No!" Xu Shushu refused without hesitation.

After Xie Li left, the two of them were much more gentle than before.

Xu Shushu was in a better mood because Li En's words "I am Xu Shushu's younger brother". She thought, it was true that after several months, she figured it out!

The two walked out together, and Xu Shushu looked for topics: "How are you doing recently? Your feet are all well?"

"Yeah." Lien nodded.

Xu Shushu said again: "Why don't you talk about it if you come here? If I don't go to the company, wouldn't it be a waste of time? You haven't been here yet."

Lien just replied: "It doesn't matter, you can come again next time."

Xu Shushu nodded.

Fortunately, Li En didn't say she wanted to come over, otherwise she would have refused to see him using the excuse of not being here.

Then you won't get this fragrant marinated beef.

It was raining outside.

The rain in winter is very light and dense, and there are some fine and tiny snowflakes mixed in the raindrops. It is not a big deal for people to walk in the rain curtain.

Xu Shushu put the bag on his head to block the rain, and his other hand protected the paper bag containing the marinated beef. This time, she did not stuff her hands into Lien's pocket or hide it under his arm like before, and tried to make her look very busy with both hands, not wanting him to notice her stiff changes.

And Li En didn't say anything at all, he just walked forward silently.

Xu Shushu saw one or two snow or rain hanging on his eyelashes, and she couldn't understand.

In the past, she was responsible for talking nonstop. He said a few words from time to time. At this time, she didn't speak and the atmosphere became cold again.

"you--"

As she spoke, Reen stretched out his arms and took the bag from her hand.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

The two continued walking, and Li En raised her hand to hold her bag to block the rain, without feeling tired.
To be continued...
