Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Encounter, Reunion (16)

She held her breath and waited for at least a minute.

For a minute, he neither nodded nor shook his head and kept his eyes closed.

Tu Hengsha, with a heart pounding wildly, speculated secretly that if he wasn’t, he would definitely deny it. Was such an attitude just plain prideful?

She felt she understood it clearly, "I know! You are admitting it!"

He finally opened his eyes, "Have you finished your manuscript? Can’t you be quiet for a bit?"

"..." She didn’t want to be quiet. She had a lot to say, especially since she was feeling particularly low at the moment. But she didn’t dare to disturb him further; she just mumbled softly, "I find you and Mr. Su quite similar."

After murmuring, she decided to stay by herself and not bother him. Unexpectedly, she heard him say leisurely, "Oh? Isn’t Mr. Su charming and elegant, with a temperament like bamboo?"

She turned to look at him. He still had his eyes closed, as if that sentence just now was spoken by a ghost...

She sighed softly.

"What?" His eyes suddenly opened wide, "Did Mr. Su disappoint you?"

She glanced at him, hesitating to speak.

It seemed like he was suddenly interested, "Tell me, what did Mr. Su do to you?"

She widened her eyes, "Want to hear me bad-mouth Mr. Su? Impossible!"

"Hmm, the implication of your words is that you do have bad things about Mr. Su hidden in your heart! If you don’t say them, they’ll burden you! Tell me! I promise..."

When she heard this, she thought he would promise not to tell Mr. Su. Who knew he would say, "I promise to pass them on to him!"

"..." This, this kind of conversation that doesn’t follow common logic, can it continue? She slightly opened her mouth, dumbfounded for a while, "Are you very familiar with Mr. Su of ours?"

"Hmm, somewhat."

"..." She pouted. Too many words would lead to mistakes, so she kept quiet.

Yet inexplicably, he stopped sleeping, "Come on, let’s do a character interview. May I ask, in your eyes, what qualities does Mr. Su have besides being charming and elegant, with a temperament like bamboo?"

"..." A character interview! "Uh... strong sense of responsibility at work, always puts the manuscript first!"

"Oh? So he’s a deadline-crazy demon?"

She gasped, pointing at him, "That, that’s what you said!" Although that’s what she thought too...

"So? Did I voice your inner thoughts?"

"..." She winked at him, and they shared a mutual understanding smile. But, no way would she ever admit it, "No, no, no, no..."

He expressed his disdain with a "hmph," "And what else?"

She shook her head vigorously, "No, no more! In short, Mr. Su is a great good person!"

"What kind of good person?"

"Hmm... diligent, quick-witted, eloquent, upright, magnanimous, selfless, highly respected, persevering, understanding, caring for the young and respecting the old..." She said a string of phrases without stopping, then gasped for air.

He raised an eyebrow and closed his eyes again, "It seems he’s worth all the idioms you’ve learned in your lifetime to praise."

"Of course! You go and tell him that!"

He said nothing more. Outside the window, the rain poured heavily. Inside the car, she finally smiled, not turning on the light. In the dark of the night, it was like a beam of sunshine passed through.

She exhaled, and since the rescue, the heavy burden on her heart was lightened a lot by his antics. Was it spilled out along with that heap of idioms?

"Xiao Xu..." Tears glistened lightly in her eyes, her words stuck in her throat. She couldn’t voice them, nor did she need to, anymore.

Sleep! She leaned back in the seat and told herself to, closed her eyes like him. The rain pounded on the car, rumbling and making her ears buzz. Yet she found a strange peace within, a curious thing indeed, that twenty years later, she was spending the night with Xiao Xu in such a space.
