Chapter 33 033 People from two different worlds.

Tang Sijia quietly looked at the message sent by Lu Langzhou.

She seemed to have seen his joyful expression through the text, and

she couldn't bear to let him know the truth.

The superiors who are high above can decide their joys and sorrows with just a wave of their hands.

For a moment, Tang Sijia wanted to call Shi Chuan and curse him with the most harsh words, asking him: She had obviously been used by him and had already started a new life, why did he appear again like a nightmare to disturb her peaceful life.

But in the end, she returned to her senses and replied to Lu Langzhou with a word "OK".

The sun will rise as usual the next day, and Tang Sijia will start a new round of busyness.

The prototype of the adapted script has been sorted out, and the next step is to formulate the script development SOP, and accept the episode outlines in stages until the script is finalized.

In addition, as the team leader, Tang Sijia was also responsible for forming a core team including production, art, costumes, props and post-production, and submitting budget reports, project estimated cycles, and various risk and red line estimates to the supervisor.

Tang Sijia was almost too busy to do anything.

It was not until late December that the final draft of the script was finally finalized, and Tang Sijia was finally able to breathe a sigh

of relief. At five o'clock in the afternoon of that day, finally without having to work overtime, the colleagues in the project team were clamoring to go to Chun K downstairs to get together, have a big drink, and release some of the pressure during this period.

Tang Sijia saw the hard work of the colleagues in the project team during this period, and also knew that every word of the final draft was polished one by one from morning to late at night, so he agreed immediately.

On the way downstairs, he happened to meet Supervisor Sun who was about to go upstairs, and several active male colleagues shouted and carried him to the dinner site.

In the hall of Chun K, the long and wide dinner table was more than enough to sit more than a dozen people.

Colleagues ordered all the hot pot and barbecue, piled them on the long table, eating and drinking, or shouting with microphones, it was so lively.

"Is Lawyer Lu not here yet?" Sister Wang sat next to Tang Sijia and asked teasingly.

Tang Sijia came back to her senses and smiled: "I just sent him a message, and he said he would come over after finishing his work."

Everyone knew that she was dating Lu Langzhou, and they all expressed their desire to meet him on behalf of their family.

Tang Sijia had no choice but to send a message to Lu Langzhou. Unexpectedly, it was a coincidence that he just finished early today and said he would come over in a while. He also mysteriously said that he would take her to a place tonight.

"Your relationship is really stable," Sister Wang sighed with a smile, then looked at her cheek and frowned, "I usually see you eating in the cafeteria with everyone, and you eat a lot, why are you getting thinner and thinner?"

Tang Sijia was stunned. During this period of time, her mind was full of work and many complicated things.

For example, Lu Langzhou's mother suddenly got a three-fold salary increase, and Lu Langzhou's sister suddenly became the lead dancer of the ballet troupe.

"Eat less at night, and lose weight at the same time." Tang Sijia said with a smile.

"You are already thin enough, why do you need to lose weight?" Sister Wang disagreed, "You still have to eat, the body is the capital of the revolution!"

"I know." Tang Sijia felt warm in his heart.

"Welcome!" The polite voice of the waiter sounded at the door.

"It must be Lawyer Xiao Lu," Sister Wang said as she stood up and looked at the door, "Knowing that he was coming to see his mother's family, he drove all the way here..."

Sister Wang's voice gradually lowered, replaced by obvious surprise in her eyes.

"How can it be so fast?" Tang Sijia retorted with a smile, and looked in the direction of Sister Wang's sight. When he saw the figure coming in clearly, the smile on the corner of his lips gradually disappeared, and his face turned pale.

Shi Chuan, wearing a well-tailored suit, was walking in slowly. In the dim light, his beautiful skin that looked flawless and pure was reflected.

The noisy atmosphere was briefly silent.

Shi Chuan seemed to have just noticed this place. He glanced over and his eyes briefly stopped on the woman in the middle, then moved away and fell on Sun Zhi who was sitting at the first seat.

Sun Zhi was also staring at the newcomer blankly. Unlike the others, he was surprised. Then he reacted and stood up hurriedly: "Boss Shi, why are you here?"

"Just passing by," Shi Chuan smiled good-temperedly and glanced at everyone, "Is Director Sun having dinner with colleagues?"

"Yes," Sun Zhi nodded hurriedly and made an invitation gesture, "Boss Shi, do you want to join us?"

He said this purely out of courtesy. After all, the prince of Hansi Group didn't need to squeeze in the hall with them.

Unexpectedly, Shi Chuan only thought for a second and nodded and agreed: "Okay."

Sun Zhi was stunned, but he was worthy of being a man who had seen many storms and waves. He quickly asked the waiter to add a chair.

Shi Chuan walked straight to one of the female colleagues: "I'm waiting for the driver to pick me up. This seat just happens to be able to see the door. Can you switch with me?"

He didn't explain why he couldn't contact the driver by phone.

The female colleague looked at the stunning face, and even though she had been married for a long time, she couldn't help but blush, nodded and stood up.

After Shi Chuan politely thanked him, he sat opposite Tang Sijia.

He looked up and glanced at her quietly.

Just one glance, but his heart couldn't help but tremble.

He originally planned to appear in front of her when everything was done, and only her divorce from the man surnamed Lu was left.

But when he learned that she was having a dinner here and saw a familiar bright figure through a window, he couldn't help but walk in.

He missed her.

Very much.

"Is this the young master of Hansi?" Sister Wang came to Tang Sijia and whispered, "I didn't expect him to be so young and handsome."

"Look at his eyes, are they blue?"

Tang Sijia forced a smile and glanced at the person opposite her in agreement: "Isn't it." She said vaguely.

"I heard that if it weren't for him this time, our Nanshan would have gone bankrupt."

Tang Sijia looked at the shaking water in the glass in front of her.

But it was also him who almost ruined Nanshan.

However, she couldn't tell anyone about this.

She didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.

"Mr. Shi, your fingers are so long." Perhaps it was the relaxed atmosphere at the moment, or perhaps it was the boy's politeness that made everyone relax their vigilance. A young intern girl exclaimed without hesitation, "It's longer than in the comics. It must be very suitable for cosplay!" After

the words fell, everyone's eyes fell on the boy's fingers.

Shi Chuan glanced at his fingers, looked at the woman opposite, and then looked away lightly, smiled and said, "Thank you."

"My sister said the same thing."

"Your sister?" Someone asked back, "Is it Miss Jiang?"

Shi Chuan shook his head, and a hint of shyness appeared at the corner of his lips: "She is a non-blood-related sister."

As soon as everyone saw his expression, they knew that she was not a sister, but a lover.

But they didn't expect that this young master was also a pure love warrior.

"How did you and your sister know each other?" People are always very interested in gossip, especially those gossips about people who seem unattainable. "Are you childhood sweethearts?"

"No," Shi Chuan shook his head. "We just met this year. I was very poor at that time, and she took me in."

"Take me in?" Someone questioned.

Shi Chuan nodded: "She said that we will be each other's family in the future. She also said that she would introduce me to her friends and colleagues..."

Sister Wang was stunned for a moment, and inexplicably remembered the story that Sijia told her.

She turned her head and saw that the girl who always smiled was now expressionlessly lowering her head and her face was pale.

"Then you have a good relationship," someone else asked, "Have you met her friends and colleagues?"

Shi Chuan glanced forward: "Now, I have met..."

"Sijia." A clear voice suddenly interrupted Shi Chuan's next words.

Tang Sijia stood up quickly as if she had been saved, and took a few steps towards the newcomer: "Langzhou."

Lu Langzhou took her hand: "What's wrong? Your hands are so cold..." His voice paused when he saw the most conspicuous boy among the group of people, and he quickly retracted his gaze as if nothing had happened, "Sorry, I'm late."

Tang Sijia shook her head, held his hand back, and walked in front of the crowd with him.

Seeing the two holding hands intimately, the colleagues who loved to join in the fun were attracted to their attention, making strange noises of teasing, and knowingly asking: "Team leader, who is this?"

The fact that the two had obtained the marriage certificate was not made public. Tang Sijia turned her head and looked at Lu Langzhou, who was also looking at her, and took the initiative to say: "Hello everyone, I am Sijia's boyfriend."

The group of people shouted even more vigorously. Amidst the teasing, Tang Sijia's cheeks were slightly hot, but she still introduced him to everyone seriously: "His name is Lu Langzhou, he is a lawyer, and also my boyfriend."

The smile on Shi Chuan's lips gradually disappeared, and he sat there with an indifferent expression, staring at the two people's clasped hands in front of him.

For a long time, he looked at Tang Sijia's flushed cheeks and serious expression.

These should have belonged to him.

The identity of the other half, the introduction of the other half, the friendly teasing of the people around...

"As the boyfriend of the team leader, you have to drink a few glasses with everyone!" Li Yi shouted to join in the fun, "Otherwise we won't let you take our team leader away!"

Lu Langzhou smiled apologetically: "Sorry, I drove here," he said, picking up a glass of soda water, "Why not use water instead of wine."

"How can water replace wine? At most, I can call a designated driver..." Someone started to make trouble.

Lu Langzhou looked at Tang Sijia in embarrassment.

After all, he still had to take her to other places later, and Tang Sijia was about to step forward.

"Why don't I drink it?" The person opposite smiled and said.

Everyone quieted down for a while and looked at the person who was talking.

Shi Chuan was holding a high-heeled glass in his hand, with a raised corner of his lips and deep blue eyes: "Lawyer Lu can't drink it, and I can drink it too."

The man just now carefully reminded: "Mr. Shi, this is for the boyfriend of the team leader..."

"Yeah." Shi Chuan responded, "I can too."

Tang Sijia's face turned pale and his hands clenched unconsciously. There

was silence all around.

Shi Chuan looked at her expression and finally said slowly: "...drink on behalf of Lawyer Lu."

Everyone suddenly realized it.

Manager Sun was keenly aware of the weirdness in the atmosphere and hurried forward: "Okay, since Lawyer Lu drove the car, don't drink, everyone should stop drinking, just drink water instead of wine."

This time everyone agreed.

After drinking three glasses of water, the atmosphere gradually recovered.

Lu Langzhou sat with Tang Sijia for a while. After everyone took many photos together, the two were routinely "interrogated" by their colleagues, such as how they met, who confessed first, and when was their first kiss... "

We were high school classmates, and I had a good impression of her at that time." Lu Langzhou said sincerely.

"Campus romance!" Someone said enviously, "It's great, we meet again after many years, and continue our previous relationship. After all the twists and turns, it's still you."

Shi Chuan clenched the wine glass tightly. It turned out that he was just a twist and turn in her life that didn't even have a name.

Lu Langzhou did not correct this sentence, and continued to say with a smile: "I was the first to confess to Sijia, first kiss..." At this point, his ears felt hot, and he covered his lips and coughed unnaturally, "It was on November 16th, at 5 pm..."

The moment Lu Langzhou finished speaking, a crisp "pop" sound came from the opposite side.

The low-quality thin high-footed glass was crushed in Shi Chuan's hands, and some fragments pierced into his palm. In an instant, blood came out and dripped on the white tablecloth.

"Mr. Shi?" Sun Zhi stood up hurriedly, "Go find the manager to get the medical kit, what a broken cup, how could it explode for no reason..."

Everyone surrounded the injured boy, and only Shi Chuan, who was surrounded in the middle, looked at the wound on his hand calmly.

Tang Sijia's expression faded. She didn't look at the crowd on the other side, but only looked at Lu Langzhou beside her: "Langzhou, didn't you say you would take me to a place? Let's go there first?"

Lu Langzhou looked at the situation on the other side, then looked at her: "Okay."

Tang Sijia smiled, said something to Sister Wang, and sent a message to Manager Sun, and the two left the hall together.

Before leaving, Lu Langzhou thought of something, said to Tang Sijia "wait a moment", and ran to the cashier: "Please settle the bill for the dinner in the hall."

The cashier was surprised: "But, the gentleman who just came later has already paid the bill."

Lu Langzhou was slightly startled and looked at the boy not far away.

The boy was also looking at him, his deep blue eyes were dark and cold.

Lu Langzhou frowned, and finally said nothing more, turned around and left.

*

It was not until he got in the car that Tang Sijia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The warm air in the car was blowing hot. She opened the window a little, turned her head and asked, "Langzhou, you said you would take me to a place, where?"

Lu Langzhou held the steering wheel with his hands, not knowing what he was thinking, and did not respond.

"Langzhou? Langzhou?" Tang Sijia called twice again.

Lu Langzhou suddenly came back to his senses and smiled, "You'll know when we get there."

As he said that, he was about to drive away.

"Seat belt." Tang Sijia reminded hurriedly.

Lu Langzhou reacted, smiled apologetically, fastened his seat belt, and the car quickly drove to the west of the city.

There was some traffic jam on the road, and more than two hours had passed when the car drove into a community in the west of the city.

The community is a new community, with more than a dozen 32-story residential buildings, with two elevators and two households.

Lu Langzhou has recovered as usual, and smiled mysteriously at Tang Sijia: "Sijia, close your eyes."

Tang Sijia was puzzled.

The next second, Lu Langzhou gently covered her eyes, led her into the corridor, walked into the elevator, and pressed the fourth floor.

Until the fingerprint lock successfully verified the sound, accompanied by an electronic sound of "Welcome home", Tang Sijia heard Lu Langzhou's gentle murmur in her ear: "Sijia, welcome to our home."

The hand covering her eyes was removed. Tang Sijia was initially a little uncomfortable with the sudden light, squinted her eyes, and then looked around.

The large living room, cold white lights, and light gray floor tiles formed a minimalist decoration style.

The window is not big, and you can see the tall buildings not far away, filled with thousands of lights.

The layout of three bedrooms and one living room is simple and clear.

"This room will be our bedroom in the future," Lu Langzhou took Tang Sijia's hand and introduced them one by one, "This room can be used as our study."

"When we have a child in the future, give him the remaining room."

"Sijia, do you like it?"

Tang Sijia stared at the house in front of her in a daze. She didn't know if it was because she was too busy some time ago, or because of the cold wind just now, her mind was empty and her voice was slightly hoarse: "You didn't mention it to me..."

"I want to give you a surprise," Lu Langzhou took her hand and put a bunch of cold keys in her palm, "Sijia, for your home."

Tang Sijia lowered her head and looked at the keys in her palm, her eyes were dazed.

"Sijia, don't you like it?" Lu Langzhou asked nervously.

Tang Sijia pulled out of her trance, raised the corners of her lips for a long time, and showed a bright smile: "No."

"I like it very much."

"Thank you, Langzhou."

This is the home she wants.

She said to herself.

*

It was past eleven when I got home.

Tang Sijia lay on the sofa, looking at the warm yellow light above her head, her mind was dizzy.

Something in her pocket hit her lower back, and Tang Sijia took it out and found that it was the key that Lu Langzhou gave her.

Tang Sijia raised it and watched the keys swaying under the light, and finally felt it: she had a home.

A real home in the legal and emotional sense.

The phone rang, and it was a photo of tonight's dinner uploaded by a colleague in the work group.

Tang Sijia flipped through the photos one by one, and she smiled unconsciously when she saw the happy faces of her colleagues.

Until she turned to the photo of her and Lu Langzhou, her smile gradually disappeared, and a chill moved up her spine little by little.

Under the jokes of the people around them, Lu Langzhou hugged her shoulders intimately, and a beam of yellow light happened to hit them, and they both smiled and looked forward at the same time.

Behind them, behind her left, Shi Chuan sat quietly in his seat, slightly tilted his head, and his eyes were also looking at the camera, as if he was taking a photo with her.

Tang Sijia flipped through the photos quickly. In every photo of her and Lu Langzhou, there was always a gaze behind her.

Until the last photo, there was only her and Lu Langzhou, with no one behind them.

Tang Sijia's expression did not relax at all.

She remembered that at that time, a tall figure seemed to walk behind her casually, and the voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear: "Sister, this can be considered as meeting your colleague."

The phone rang suddenly, and Tang Sijia's hair stood up instantly, and her heart beat violently.

Until she saw the strange caller on the screen clearly, her expression instantly calmed down and ignored it.

But this time, the call was not hung up, but called again and again, very patiently.

Until finally, a text message came in: [I'm downstairs from you. ]

Tang Sijia's heart was inexplicably filled with an indescribable anger. She stood up and walked to the French window, looking out from the distance of the thirteenth floor.

Under a street lamp, a boy stood by the lamp post, holding a mobile phone, and then noticed something and raised his head.

The two people's eyes met in the darkness.

The phone rang again, and this time Tang Sijia pressed the answer button.

"Sister." The boy's voice was hoarse, "I'm very happy. I met your friends and colleagues today."

"They like me."

"It has nothing to do with me." Tang Sijia said coldly.

Shi Chuan was quiet for a while: "Are you sick?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

"Then what has to do with us?" His voice was very light, "The surprise that Lu Langzhou gave you?"

Tang Sijia felt a chill behind her.

It was as if her every move was being watched by him all the time. She turned her head and there was no one behind her: "How do you know?"

"That's not home, sister." "

There are no big windows you like there, and there is little sunlight."

"You don't like floors that are too low because you don't like being too depressed."

"Even the lighting and decoration style are not what you like..."

"Sister, that's Lu Langzhou's home. That's the stability he wants. He gave you what he likes as a surprise, so it became what you like, and your likes will never be mentioned again."

"I never said that I only like one style." Tang Sijia said coldly.

"Sister, are you lying to yourself like this?" Shi Chuan's voice was low and bewitching, "Do you keep telling yourself that this is the home you want, and Lu Langzhou is the other half you want..."

"Shi Chuan!" Tang Sijia interrupted him, with a tremor in the last words.

Shi Chuan listened to the fragile voice of the woman in the receiver, and his heart suddenly tightened: "Sister, do you still remember when we lived together? You would always tell me in advance if you had to work overtime; you would be frank about things you didn't like; you would express your emotions to me seriously; we would kiss in the rain and hug without restraint; we would choose the house we liked together in front of the computer, instead of making our own decisions and then forcing it on you as a surprise..." "

And then, Shi Chuan," the woman's voice became more hoarse and even choked in the receiver, "you said the past was so beautiful, what was the result?"

"Didn't it end in the same tragic way?"

Shi Chuan fell silent suddenly.

"Shi Chuan, you cheated on me, and I accepted the house you used as compensation. At this point, we have actually already evened out our differences," Tang Sijia gradually calmed down. "After evening out our differences, we are completely from two different worlds. Unless something unexpected happens, we shouldn't have any intersection at all."

"Besides, I'm already married, and Lang Zhou and I are a legal couple. Do you know what you're doing now is called? It's called a third party interfering, a mistress..."

"Have I successfully interfered?" Shi Chuan asked back quietly, without a trace of shame or guilt in his tone. "Are you a little shaken?"

Tang Sijia was quiet for a long time, and said tiredly: "Let everything return to its original position, isn't it? You continue to be your favorite child, I just want to live my ordinary life."

The voice in the receiver disappeared instantly, everything became dead silent, even the sound of breathing was gone.

After a long time, Tang Sijia heard Shi Chuan's calm voice: "I guess, the ordinary life that sister said excludes me."

"Yes." Responded without thinking.

There was silence again.

"Do you still remember the bet?" Shi Chuan suddenly said, "Prove it to me."

"What?"

"Prove it to me with your so-called ordinary life."

Tang Sijia was quiet for a moment: "You did what Langzhou's parents and sister did, right?"

Shi Chuan did not deny it.

"Is it true that if you intervene, as long as I can prove that the ordinary life I have will not change because of you," Tang Sijia said calmly, "you can completely stay away from my life?"

"...Yes." "

Okay, I hope you can do what you say." After saying that, Tang Sijia was about to hang up the phone.

"I only have one condition." Shi Chuan spoke again.

"What?" Tang Sijia had just finished speaking when there was a knock on the door.

A girl upstairs who looked to be the same age as her was looking at her, holding a bag of medicine in her hand: "Hello, is this Tang Sijia? Someone downstairs asked me to give this to you."

Tang Sijia looked at the medicine stuffed into her palm, and the boy's voice sounded again in the receiver: "... This time, don't refuse again."

Tang Sijia clenched the phone tightly, and the next second, she hung up the phone quietly.

Downstairs, Shi Chuan was still standing there, holding the phone in his hand, close to his ear, listening to the "beep" sound of hanging up, and murmured for a long time: "I forgot to say, my hand hurts, and..."

"I miss you."

No one responded.

Only the wound on the clenched palm opened again, and a few drops of blood fell to the ground.
