Chapter 48: Unexpected Call (2)

“It’s snowing.”

He Yu said in a hushed voice.

Both of them were now facing the window. Hearing him speak, Su Qiuzi sobered up a bit.

It was dark outside the window, but the glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the glass, which was icy cold with the occasional snowflake fluttering through.

There was no snow on Christmas Eve this year, but it fell on Christmas night. Su Qiuzi was nestled in He Yu’s embrace and smiled as she looked at the snowflakes that were gradually becoming more and more frequent.

He Yu looked at her smile and asked, “Do you like it?”

“Not really.” Su Qiuzi responded, her mind drifting away, only to say, “It’s just that it rarely snows in Xia City.”

It rarely snowed in Xia City, and her fondest memories of it were not really pleasant. When it snowed on Christmas Day back when she was little, Su Ai took a present from the Christmas tree and threw it out into the snow, telling her that if she picked it up, it would be hers.

They were only six or seven years old at the time. Thinking there was nothing to guard against, she had been so naive and silly… She had run out to grab the present, but when she turned back, Su Ai locked her out. The girl inside the door laughed loudly, and Su Qiuzi felt scared and nervous, but she already understood at that time that begging was useless. She crouched in front of the door and unwrapped the gift, a nice pair of snow boots that were warm when she put them on.

When she was a child, girls were mostly immersed in the fantasy of fairy tales. She imagined that those snow boots were crystal shoes and that some prince would fall in love with her and take her away from that icy home. But, by the time the snow boots were worn out, the prince was nowhere to be seen. She also abandoned that unrealistic idea and resigned herself to living a miserable life.

Despite her dismal life, Su Qiuzi remained positive and optimistic about her aspirations in life. She studied and worked hard to live her life, always thinking that she would not be left behind by her own efforts. She would have a house of her own, her own home, and she wouldn’t need a prince to live tenaciously in this world.

It snowed overnight, and when she woke up the next day, the outside was covered in snow. He Yu had already gone to work and the bedroom was in a state of disarray, indicating the madness of the two yesterday.

Looking at the torn undergarments, which were very expensive, Su Qiuzi’s heart ached. While recalling last night’s scenario, her cheeks burned and she hurriedly got up.

The consequences of last night’s incident on Su Qiuzi were a sore back and weakened legs. She had just entered the office when Xie Jiagu looked at her and asked, “Did you stay up late moving bricks?”

Su Qiuzi blushed. Fearing that she would be exposed, she laughed in embarrassment and straightened her back as she said, “No, it was a bit of insomnia.”

Despite being older than her, Xie Jiagu was still unmarried. Hearing her say that, she didn’t doubt it either. The chair spun around and she leaned against it, gossiping with Su Qiuzi while eating nuts, “Cai Jiayu was called by Senior Cao this morning just after she arrived.”

Her throat was a little dry, so Su Qiuzi poured a glass of water. After taking a sip, she doubtfully said, “Called in again?”

“She got lectured again this time.” Xie Jiagu also felt strange when she finished, adding, “But Chen Ming said that the show was recorded quite well yesterday.”

While the two were talking, the door to Cao Tingping’s office opened and Cai Jiayu stepped out. As soon as she came out, Xie Jiagu’s chair deftly turned around and her eyes had already left Su Qiuzi’s.

Su Qiuzi didn’t turn away. She shot a smile at Cai Jiayu, maintaining the basic courtesy among her colleagues.

Cai Jiayu looked up at her with a flash of an inexplicable emotion in her eyes and walked into the office with her head down.
