He straightened his clothes and went out.
The door closed, and Vivian had no strength to walk to the sofa to sit down. She slid down along the door panel, hugging her knees, sometimes blushing and feeling hot, sometimes absent-minded, and sometimes annoyed and conflicted...
In this state of being one way and then another, by the time Vivian finally freed herself from the state of weak limbs and oxygen-deprived brain, a long time had passed.
Vivian suddenly got up. How could she really squat here waiting for him? That would be too obedient! No way! She should just run away quickly.
But when she really reached the company entrance, she stopped.
What kind of thing would it be to just run away like this? This kind of thing, this kind of thing is actually very normal, right? She had secretly thought about it... It just happened too suddenly, and she wasn't prepared at all, reacting like a fool = =
If she just ran away like this, wouldn't it seem too much of a fuss and even more foolish...
Vivian stood at the company's entrance, thinking east and west, unable to leave or return, almost worried to death.
In her dilemma, a beef rice saved her.
The elevator door opened with a 'ding', and a young man wearing a baseball cap came out carrying a plastic bag, looked around, and finally came to Vivian.
"Are you Miss Bei?"
Vivian was stunned for a moment and nodded.
"Hi, this is the beef rice you ordered. I brought it to you. Thank you for your patronage, fifteen yuan in total." The baseball cap handed her the plastic bag.
Beef rice...
No need to think to know who ordered it. It turns out he heard it. Vivian took the bag, and the state of blushing and feeling hot all over returned.
The young man in the baseball cap was waiting for her to pay, and Vivian touched her pocket and handed him a hundred yuan bill.
The baseball cap didn't take it and said awkwardly, "Don't you have any change?"
Vivian shook her head, the change was just used up on the bus earlier.
"Well, can you borrow some from someone else? I can't make change."
Borrow from someone else... Should she borrow from the great god? As soon as this thought came up, Vivian immediately dismissed it. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came, and Vivian's eyes lit up, looking at the baseball cap enthusiastically, "How about this, I'll go to the store with you to pay."
"This... wouldn't it be too much trouble for you."
"No problem, no problem."
Vivian said repeatedly, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it was a good idea, dragging her luggage towards the elevator, then turned back.
"Wait a minute, I'll leave a message."
Dragging her luggage, she ran back into the company.
The baseball cap watched her back, opened his mouth, and swallowed the words "Actually, you can put it on credit."
When Nai Shawn returned to the office, it was already empty, but there was an extra note on the computer screen.
Nai Shawn took it down.
Thank you for ordering the beef rice, but I didn't have change, and they wouldn't put it on credit, so I went to the store to pay.
A big smiley face was drawn at the signature.
Nai Shawn's lips slightly curled up.
If she ran, she ran, and the excuse was so insincere. He clipped the note into the folder, picked up the phone at hand, and dialed the number he had recently become familiar with. As soon as the other side connected, Nai Shawn directly asked, "Where are you?"
Vivian was cleaning.
Bella Vivian's style, of course, would not fight unprepared. She had considered everything before coming. The first thing to settle was accommodation. Before the holiday, Vivian did not apply to stay, so she couldn't stay at school. Fortunately, Sally, the little rich girl, had a house near the school that she could borrow, and the key had been mailed to her a few days ago.
Sally's house was a reward from her parents when she got into A University. Sally found it boring to live alone, so she rarely stayed there, and the house was covered in dust, making cleaning quite a challenge.
When she received Nai Shawn's call, Vivian was cleaning with a dusty face.
The phone happily sang the national anthem.
Vivian looked at it for a few seconds before pressing the answer button, her heart pounding, but she spoke normally: "I'm cleaning at Sally's house. I can't stay at school, so I'm borrowing her empty house for a while."
"Address."
"Uh, are you coming over? Let's talk later, I'm cleaning now, it's very dirty."
"I'll come to help."
"Uh, no need, you're too high-profile, I can't afford to invite you..." Vivian pushed and refused, just not wanting him to come over now.
Nai Shawn was silent for a moment, leaning against the desk, stretching his long legs, and said in a leisurely tone, "Vivian, are you embarrassed?"
Vivian: "..."
"Treasure Laurel Garden Building 17, A1601, bring me a bottle of dish soap when you come!"
After saying it all in one breath, Vivian quickly hung up the phone.
More than half an hour later, the doorbell rang, and Vivian ran to open the door, not giving the visitor any time to speak. Vivian quickly stood on tiptoe, put a newly made paper hat on his head, then pushed him into the kitchen and handed him a rag.
"You clean the kitchen, don't come out until it's done."
Then she ran back to the bedroom to wipe the windows.
Nai Shawn held the rag, looked around the kitchen, shook his head with a smile, and began to clean up the clutter.
It seemed like he had stepped on her tail, should he coax her or not, or step on it a bit more? Her angry and annoyed look was really interesting.
Someone's brain, worth a fortune, began to seriously ponder this trivial question.
It wasn't until after five o'clock that the house was cleaned to a livable state. Vivian looked at the bright and clean house, a sense of accomplishment welling up.
At this time, Nai Shawn also came out of the guest room with a garbage bag. After cleaning the kitchen, he was sent by Vivian to tidy up the guest room. After tidying up two rooms, even someone as elegant as Nai Shawn had a few streaks of dust on his face, and the paper hat Vivian made was slightly askew, yet he still managed to look handsome and stylish~~~
Vivian looked at him and couldn't help but laugh, the little bit of awkwardness she had felt completely dissipated with the laughter.
Vivian pushed him into the bathroom: "Go wash up, I'll treat you to roast duck later."
Near Sally's house, there was a famous Gui’s House roast duck shop known for its good quality and low price. For just over twenty yuan, you could have roast duck three ways. Half a duck, the skin eaten one way, the shredded duck meat stir-fried another way, and the duck bones made into soup. Add two stir-fried dishes and a plate of fruit, and it's more than enough for two people.
Vivian was tired from cleaning, her appetite opened up, and she swept through the table with great momentum. After eating her fill, she left the shop, only to find the sky outside dark with clouds and thunder rolling, and soon a heavy rain poured down.
They had to wait in the shop for the rain to stop before going back.
The heavy rain didn't last long, stopping after ten minutes, but it swept away the day's heat. Walking on the road, Vivian felt refreshed all over, and the air seemed particularly fresh and lovely.
Nai Shawn looked up at the sky and suddenly smiled.
Vivian, feeling she had done many embarrassing things today, suspected he was laughing at her, shook his hand: "What are you laughing at?"
Nai Shawn turned his eyes to her, the smile in his eyes deepening: "Nothing, just thinking that since you came, the weather here has improved."
Hey!
Don't be so sentimental!
Vivian blushed and her heart raced as she glared at him, but her eyes were rippling with water, not like glaring, but clearly enticing. Nai Shawn couldn't help it, lowered his head, and kissed her on the lips.
Vivian immediately felt the thunder that had just gone away return. This, this is on the street, what if someone sees? Just thinking about the "being seen" problem, Vivian felt someone watching her.
Instinctively turning her head, she saw two identical little girls about four or five years old, with pigtails, biting their fingers, and looking at them with big curious eyes, unblinking.
Oh God! Vivian groaned inwardly, pulling Nai Shawn and running wildly.
Nai Shawn had never been pulled to run so ungracefully in his life, almost crying and laughing.
"Vivian."
"Hurry up, I'm embarrassed."
After running wildly for a while, Vivian couldn't run anymore, but still didn't let go of Nai Shawn's hand, panting like an old ox, dragging him. Dragging him to a clean patch of grass not wet by the rain, Vivian finally let go of his hand and collapsed on the grass, not moving.
Nai Shawn sat down beside her.
For a moment, neither of them spoke.
The evening breeze after the thunderstorm brought the faint fragrance of grass and trees, a scent so elegant it was intoxicating, but perhaps more so was the scent of the person beside her. Vivian sat next to him, finding herself with the urge to get closer, quickly turned her head, and started fiddling with the grass beside her.
After a while, she remembered to ask him: "Why don't you ask why I suddenly came over?"
Does it need asking? Nai Shawn questioned with his eyes.
Don't be so narcissistic, ask quickly! Vivian urged with her gaze.
Nai Shawn followed her lead: "Okay, Vivian, why did you suddenly come over?"
Vivian answered with satisfaction: "I came for an internship, I couldn't find a suitable unit back home. Does your company take interns?"
Nai Shawn said seriously: "Our company has high standards for hiring."
"... I'm just going to be an intern, I don't need you to pay me."
"Hmm, free ones need to be more cautious."
Vivian picked up two blades of grass and threw them at him: "... What do you want then."
Nai Shawn pondered for a moment: "Bribe me?"
Not so shameless!
But under the eaves, Vivian had to bow her head: "Then I'll treat you to a late-night snack later?"
Nai Shawn politely refused: "Sorry, except for the lady's beauty, I don't accept other bribes."
Vivian: "..."
