During the weekend, He Youdong came to visit her. After ringing the doorbell several times, there was no response, so he had to call her.
"Hello...who is it?" As soon as the call was connected, Du Siqiu's confused and slightly impatient voice was heard.
He Youdong stroked his forehead helplessly and said, "It's me, you must have fallen asleep."
"Oh, hehe..." She tried her best to rub her dry eyes: "What's wrong? It's so early in the morning..."
"I'm at your door. Come and open the door for me."
Five minutes later, she went to open the door.
"What's taking you so long?" He Youdong came in carrying a bag of things and asked as he walked.
Du Siqiu yawned: "I need to change my clothes. I can't wear pajamas and come out to receive you, right?"
"Why, are you being polite to me? They are so well dressed, like an old married couple." He Youdong joked.
"Hey, my nerves only listen to you. Sit down for a while, I'll go in and wash up first."
By the time she came out of the bathroom, He Youdong had already placed a sumptuous breakfast on the table, including glutinous rice balls, shrimp and seaweed rolls, red bean and barley porridge, and siomai. So much...can you finish it!
"Hey, tell me, you brought me breakfast." She sat down happily, reached out and picked up a piece of shrimp and seaweed roll and brought it to her mouth.
"If I don't bring it to you, will you know how to eat? I see that you fall asleep as soon as the weekend comes. Aren't you hungry?"
"You are so confident, what time will you wake up?"
"Seven o'clock."
Du Siqiu raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was now 10:20, and he could almost have lunch. He couldn't help but stick out his tongue and said: "I admire you."
"Don't starve yourself like this all the time. It's not good for your health."
"Yes, yes, I will follow the instructions of Butler He." Du Siqiu was frightened by his nagging, and immediately changed the subject: "How is Xixi doing recently? Is she going to take the college entrance examination soon?"
"Well, the college entrance examination is in June." He Youdong said this with a slightly worried look on his face. His sister is sometimes stubborn and very stubborn. "I'm worried that she will do it because of my father."
things are affected.”
"Is she still in a bad mood?"
"It's not that it's that bad. After breaking up with my dad that day, she never mentioned it again in front of my mom and me, and she didn't necessarily feel sad or angry. But you know, sometimes you get hurt.
But she doesn't want to vent it out, and the wound will never be scarred. I'm afraid that if she continues like this, she won't even be able to pass three universities." He Youdong was very calm when he said this, so calm that he seemed to have forgotten what he said.
This man actually has his own shadow. He has never released the helplessness and hurt his father left him.
He has always just carried it by himself, just because he is the only remaining pillar of the He family and cannot fall down easily.
"Actually, Xixi is very smart. As long as she is willing, she will definitely have no problem getting into a better university. In terms of mentality, you'd better take the time to enlighten her during this period."
"It's really troublesome. If my father hadn't suddenly given us such a 'surprise', she would have been her good girl long ago." Speaking of this, He Youdong felt very sorry. In the past, He Youxi was really a good and sweet girl.
An innocent little girl, she is always happy no matter how big the trouble is. The only thing she can't get over is the fact that her father abandoned the family.
"You, don't worry anymore. When you come to my place from now on, remember to bring Xixi with you, and I will talk to her."
"Well, last time we were in the hospital, she was quite willing to listen to you."
After the two had breakfast, they moved two low stools to the back balcony to bask in the sun.
"He Youdong, I met Peng Tao outside a few days ago." She suddenly thought of Peng Tao.
"Oh." He Youdong leaned back in his chair and said, "You didn't quarrel with him anymore."
Du Siqiu smiled playfully: "Do you want us to quarrel?"
"What do you think...I'm afraid that if you cause trouble outside, you will be weak and suffer a loss."
Du Siqiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, there won't be any quarrel. We have reconciled."
"reconciliation?"
"That's right. It's too tiring to hate someone. I can't hate him anymore. It's better to be friends again."
"Of course, if you pass your level, it would be best to be friends. But..."
"But what?"
"Du Siqiu, you must remember that you can only treat him as an ordinary friend. I am the only boyfriend."
Du Siqiu laughed loudly and said lazily: "He Dongdong, guess what lyrics suddenly came to my mind when I was basking in the sun and listening to you talking in my ear?"
"What is it?"
"You have to guess!"
"I can't guess." He touched the straight bridge of his nose and smiled.
"The most romantic thing I can think of is to grow old together with you."
"He is deeply honored."
"The same goes for Du," she said following Wen Cheng.
"Qiuqiu, let's go to Japan sometime."
"Why did you suddenly remember this?"
"Haven't you always been looking forward to going to Kyoto, Japan, to see the old buildings? I'll go with you."
"Ah, great!" She raised her head happily, with a smile as bright as a flower.
In the days to come, He Youdong would always bring He Youxi with him when he came to sit at her house.
He Youxi was a little more silent than before. The three of them were sitting together eating, and she was always easily distracted without even realizing it.
Probably because he felt the same way, Du Siqiu could actually understand her mood. He would chat with her whenever he had nothing to do. Even though she was the one doing the talking most of the time, she knew that He Youxi had listened to everything she said.
After several heart-to-heart talks, He Youdong called Du Siqiu and told her that He Youxi had gone out of her way and started doing math exercises seriously after returning home, and asked her what she had said to her that was so effective.
In fact, she didn’t say anything special. She just occasionally talked about the time when she lived with her cousin when she was a child, when her parents and brothers and sisters were not around. She talked about her feelings at that time when she was young.
How she came to the conclusion that her father did not love her and abandoned her, and she also talked about the long journey of gradually putting aside her prejudices and understanding her father's difficulties.
In fact, it took a long time for her to completely put aside her prejudice against her father.
Because she understands that the best way to comfort an injured person is to stand on the same front with her and feel the same way.
Therefore, He Youxi accepted her comfort to the maximum extent.
He Youxi even said to her: "Sister Qiuqiu, if my brother can marry you, it will be a blessing he has accumulated in his previous life."
Du Siqiu laughed after hearing this. In her opinion, she was lucky to meet He Youdong.
When Du Siqiu went to work early in the morning, he heard a lot of gossip related to Xiao Song. Some colleagues said that Xue Yan had handed over the business trip task at the beginning of next month to Xiao Song. You know, Shen Xu’s business trip task every quarter is very important to every employee of the company.
All of them are rare opportunities.
According to old employees at Shenzhen Jixu, based on their understanding of Xue Yan, only employees who are valued by her are likely to go on business trips. Of course, there may be bonuses or promotions and other preferential treatment.
In addition to drooling over Xue Yan's arrangement, there are also some employees who are unwilling to accept it. They think that although Xiao Song's work ability is not inferior, he is a new employee who has not been full-time for a long time. What qualifications do he have to stand out? There must be something in this
What the heck!
Du Siqiu listened to the discussion among her colleagues, but she laughed it off without making any comments. To be honest, there was really no friendship between her and Xiao Song. It could even be said that there was a estrangement. That was the time when Xiao Song carried her on his back for no reason.
She spread rumors and bad things about her to other colleagues in the tea room. Du Siqiu couldn't let go of this. He couldn't understand Xiao Song's sudden change in attitude towards her. He felt uncomfortable with it for a long time. He couldn't find a chance to talk to her.
In this matter, if the time for communication is missed, the misunderstanding will be difficult to eliminate.
Even so, Du Siqiu was unwilling to speak ill of her in kind. If she did so, wouldn't she be no different from her? And she believed that Xiao Song did have such ability. She could see it during her internship.
, she must be someone who can be quickly appreciated by her boss.
She thought this silently.
Not long after he sat down to work, Du Siqiu was called to the office by Xue Yan. She asked Du Siqiu to be mentally prepared for a business trip to Xiamen early next month.
Du Siqiu was stunned and truly suspected that he had heard wrongly. What was going on?
Xue Yan said without raising his head: "This task is not heavy, but remember, you must do it to the extreme. You must not make any mistakes. There will be experienced colleagues who will go to Xiamen with you to complete the work.
If you don't understand or can't handle anything, you should ask your colleagues for help in a timely manner." Judging from Xue Yan's tone, she was not worried about Du Siqiu, and was deeply afraid that her big problem would cause her some trouble. Since
If you don't trust her abilities, why send her there?
"Editor Xue, can I ask why?"
"Why why?" Xue Yan half-squinted his eyes and looked up at her.
Du Siqiu said frankly: "I clearly can't meet your requirements, so why do you still let me go? Aren't you afraid that I will make you crazy?"
"What do I have to worry about? Don't you believe in yourself?"
"I want to believe in myself. The key is...many facts in the past have told me that I shouldn't be too optimistic about myself." She whispered. She could hardly cope with Yang Li's work alone.
"Don't be wordy. Since I asked you to do it, I naturally have my own sense of proportion. Just do your best."
"Oh, I got it." Even though he hesitated to speak, Du Siqiu still swallowed the doubt alive, okay, just do it, why bother yourself, why do you think so much!
She sent a text message to He Youdong: "I'm getting promoted quickly. Congratulations! Haha!"
"Really, then I'm really happy for you... (But are you sure you didn't send the wrong text message?)".
When Du Siqiu received the reply, she rubbed her confused eyes and took a closer look. Oh my god, that number just now was not He Youdong's. She sent the text message to Peng Tao!
