Time flowed quietly like water.
As they slowly got along, Du Xiaoxian gradually got used to Lu Haochen's presence and became a little braver in front of him. After finishing her job, she walked to the file cabinet and sneaked a glance at Lu Haochen. Seeing that he was concentrating on reading, she quietly bent down and was about to wipe the floor under the file cabinet. In the past few days, she had been wiping it with a mop. She always felt that it was not clean. So when Lu Haochen was not paying attention to her, she planned to wipe it again with a rag.
As soon as she lay prone on the floor and her hand touched the floor under the file cabinet, she heard Lu Haochen coughing twice. Her heart skipped a beat and she did not move. She heard Lu Haochen saying, "Are you still not getting up?" Knowing that she had to face him, Du Xiaoxian got up and smiled awkwardly.
Lu Haochen held the book in his hand, but his eyes were looking at her with
Du Xiaoxian did not notice Lu Haochen. She was excitedly telling Du Huayue what she was going to do with her newly paid salary. It had been a long time since she had received such a large sum of money. It would be a lie to say that she was not excited."Buy Niannian a flower-patterned dress and order a box of milk. Buy her meatballs once a week. By the way, I will also buy her a pair of sandals. Now her sandals were cracked and her tiptoes even protruded from them. And..." She tilted her head and thought for a moment. "Her canteen is also not working. The lid is not tight and I have to change it. I will buy you a razor and a box of beer. After work, I will buy some shrimp and fish. Let's have a good meal tonight!"Du Huayue laughed and gave her the meat from his plate. "By the time you finish buying all these things, there isn't much money left. How will you live the rest of the month?""How could that be? I have already calculated every
Du Xiaoxian was also not happy. 300 yuan would be deducted from her salary just because of wiping that screen!Hearing Lu Haochen letting her go, she did not say a word and left with her head lowered.When Lu Haochen saw her like this, he felt even more uncomfortable. He had a feeling of frustration as if he had just quarreled with his girlfriend. He lit a cigarette, leaned against the large office chair, and puffed. Then, he called Rose in an angry voice through the internal phone line and asked her to make a cup of coffee.Rose felt that the boss was a little moody recently. She put down the phone and rushed to brew a cup of coffee. When she sent it in, she saw Lu Haochen leaning against the chair and keeping smoking fiercely. As the cigarette soon burned to the end, Lu Haochen threw the butt into the ashtray, took the coffee she handed over, and drank it directly.Rose shouted, "Boss, be careful! It is still too hot."
When it was time to eat, Lu Haochen really let Du Xiaoxian go.When she hurried to the canteen, Du Huayue had already helped her get the food. When he saw her coming in, he stood up and waved hands at her.Du Xiaoxian saw the dishes on the plate and pouted, "Brother Ah Yue, I don't like to eat meat. Why did you buy me so much?"Du Huayue smiled and said, "If you don't get fatter, the wind will blow you away!" When the corner of his eyes caught sight of her fingers, his smile faded away. "What happened to your hand?""I got scratched. It doesn't matter." Du Xiaoxian didn't take it seriously."Why are you so careless?" Du Huayue picked up her hand. "Look at your hand. It's even rougher than a man's. You should be careful."Du Xiaoxian smiled as she withdrew her hand. "It's easier to work with rough hands."Du Huayue said, "Hurry up and eat. The dishes are getting cold." When he looked up,
Du Xiaoxian did not tell anyone about what Lu Haochen had done to her. Firstly, Lu Haochen did not hurt her. Secondly, she was a silent person and was not used to pouring out her feelings. She did not even tell Du Huayue about it.However, when she went to work the next day, she always felt a little frightened. She walked to Lu Haochen's door with tools and hesitated for a while. Then she turned to leave. She knew that Lu Haochen was inside because he arrived earlier than her every day.Lu Haochen stared at the watch on his wrist. Du Xiaoxian arrived on time every day. He had already heard her footsteps, but she stopped at the door and did not come in. His heart was pounding. He held his breath and waited. But soon, the footsteps sounded again but got quicker. In an instant, the sound disappeared.He was stunned for a moment. Then he jumped up and rushed to open the door. He didn't see her in the corridor.She was still angr
Ever since Du Xiaoxian had righteously expressed her opinion that day, Lu Haochen really stopped staring at her that way.The next day, she went to Lu Haochen's office after she finished cleaning the other places. When she entered the office and found that the big screen was gone, she felt relaxed. It was not that she was afraid of tiring work, but it took too much time to wipe the screen. Staying in the same room with Lu Haochen always gave her a strange feeling.When Lu Haochen saw her come in, he smiled slightly. She greeted him properly and then began to do the cleaning. When she finished cleaning, it was just time for other employees to start working. Rose came in to consult Lu Haochen about work, while she quietly left with her cleaning tools.Things went on like this for several days in a row. Du Xiaoxian slowly felt relaxed, and smiles gradually appeared on her face. The relationship between her and Lu Haochen began to become nor
When Lu Haochen walked into the canteen, Du Xiaoxian was already sitting there and eating, just next to the food supply window, so he could see her at a glance.Lu Haochen walked over and ordered a portion of food. He put the plate on the table and sat down, pretending to randomly choose the seat. In order not to expose his true purpose, he did not sit next to Du Xiaoxian, nor did he sit right opposite her. Instead, he sat diagonally opposite her.When Du Xiaoxian saw that it was him, she smiled slightly and lowered her head to eat her food. That faint smile was like a blooming lotus, bright and beautiful. Lu Haochen's heart beat wildly. He pretended to be calm and coughed twice. Then he retracted his gaze and looked at the food on his plate.This place was close to the food supply window, so there were people coming and going. The employees kept greeting Lu Haochen, and he acted particularly approachable. He nodded and smiled at everyon
The car took two turns, drove into a high-end residential area, and stopped in front of a townhouse.Lu Haochen said, "Here we are."Du Xiaoxian got out of the car and looked around. There were tall trees everywhere. The shade of the trees was like a canopy, and the sunlight shone through the leaves, casting golden spots on the ground."Let's go." Lu Haochen took the lead to go up the stairs and pressed the doorbell.No one answered. Lu Haochen pressed the doorbell again, but there was still no response. Du Xiaoxian was a little worried. "Mr. Lu, there is one inside, is there? Should you call the owner?""No need," Lu Haochen directly pressed the combination lock on the door.Du Xiaoxian was even more worried. "You can't press other people's lock randomly. If it malfunctions, it will be troublesome."As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened with a click. Lu Haochen pulled the d
In fact, many things could not be avoided, such as cooking a small bowl of noodles.At first, she could not bear to think of everything that was related to him. But as the days went by, she found that sadness could not sustain life. For her, having something to eat and to wear was the most important thing. So when the money in her hand was not enough to buy basic necessities and she could only afford to make a bowl of noodles, the sorrow she had once thought to be overwhelming was gone, replaced by helplessness as her heart got harder.The dish "Scrambled Eggs with Tomato" was also taught by Gu Nianbin to her. Now, she often made it for Du Niannian and she did not feel bad about it. The hardships of life were the vivid memory in her heart now. The past was like a lifetime ago.She quickly boiled the water, cut the beef into small slices, chopped green onions into pieces, and trimmed the green vegetables. When the noodles were cooked, she
