Chapter 40 040 "I suddenly want to see her."

Tang Sijia didn't expect Shi Chuan to come so late.

After the initial surprise, her heart gradually calmed down: "It's so late, why are you here?"

While speaking, she stood at the door and had no intention of letting him in.

Shi Chuan's eyes finally moved away from the large and small bags of food behind her, and he smiled: "You just came back from a business trip, there must be nothing in the refrigerator, come to make you dinner, and by the way, celebrate your successful business trip."

Tang Sijia paused.

"But I didn't expect you to have already bought the ingredients," Shi Chuan's pale lips curved up, but his dark blue eyes looked at her solemnly, "You bought so much, you should have told me, did you carry it home yourself?"

Tang Sijia turned around, looked at the three full packaging bags on the ground, and shook her head: "No."

Shi Chuan's forced smile faded a little, his eyes darkened for a moment, and he asked quietly for a while: "With whom?"

Tang Sijia glanced at him, and did not tell him that Song Xiuren had just left not long ago, but just inadvertently changed the subject: "Thank you very much for buying ingredients tonight, but I have already bought it."

"Your body has not recovered yet, you should go back first..."

"There are not many parking spaces downstairs, I asked the driver to go shopping nearby and pick me up around ten o'clock." Shi Chuan interrupted her.

Tang Sijia frowned slightly, looked at the time, it was only eight fifty: "Can I call the driver?"

After a few seconds of silence, Shi Chuan took out his mobile phone and dialed the number in front of her.

The ringing sounded again and again, and finally the prompt "No one answered" appeared.

Tang Sijia pursed her lips.

"I can wait downstairs." Shi Chuan forced a smile and put down the ingredients in his hand.

At this time, Tang Sijia found that there was a box of exquisite mango cake on the top of the ingredients.

It was the one she liked very much.

Shi Chuan told her in the text message that he lived in a private hospital.

The direction of the cake shop and the hospital are poles apart.

Tang Sijia looked at the back of the boy who had turned around. His left shoulder was still unable to move, and he was alone.

"You wait in the house first." Tang Sijia finally spoke.

Shi Chuan's back stiffened, and then he turned around and nodded gently: "I'll help you make dinner."

"You are injured, I can do it myself..."

"It doesn't matter," Shi Chuan said, "It's a reward for my sister taking me in."

Hearing the word "take in", Tang Sijia's face changed, pursed his lips, and didn't speak again.

A few minutes later, in the kitchen.

Shi Chuan quietly washed the ingredients he brought, while Tang Sijia neatly put the large and small packages of ingredients into the refrigerator. Neither of them spoke.

The bright red tomatoes rolled in Shi Chuan's fingers, and after being washed by clean water, they splashed small water drops. After

washing the tomatoes, Shi Chuan picked up the plump plums, and like carving a work of art, his slender fingers held the fruit knife and cut marks on the plums.

Tang Sijia took a look and then retracted her gaze.

In the living room, her cell phone rang.

Tang Sijia's heart moved slightly, and she wiped her hands hurriedly and returned to the living room to turn on her phone.

It was a message from Song Xiuren.

He had returned to the house in Rongfu, and said that he liked her invitation in the air this time.

Tang Sijia looked at the humorous "invitation in the air", curved her lips, and replied to him that this time it was not a treat, and she would definitely invite him formally next time.

Song Xiuren replied seriously: [Then I'm looking forward to it now. ]

There was also an emoticon package of holding his chin and thinking.

Tang Sijia didn't expect that someone like Song Xiuren, who looked so serious and indifferent, would also send emoticons. Thinking of him making this expression, she smiled softly.

After replying to Song Xiuren, Manager Sun happened to remind her not to forget to bring the backup script tomorrow, so she replied at the same time.

Putting away her phone, Tang Sijia looked up and was immediately startled.

Shi Chuan stood at the kitchen door, staring at her steadily, without a single mistake.

After a while, he pulled up the corners of his lips and asked obediently, "Who are you messaging, sister?"

Tang Sijia's heart was still beating because of the shock, and she waved the screen of her mobile phone casually: "Manager Sun."

Shi Chuan's eyes fell on the screen of her mobile phone, and on the rapidly shaking light, he keenly captured the familiar avatar of Manager Sun, and his heart gradually calmed down: "The sweet and sour pork ribs with preserved plums are already on the fire, would you like to taste it to see if it's salty enough?" He said with a smile.

Tang Sijia thought of the silent embarrassment when they were in the kitchen together just now, and shook her head: "No, whatever you think is good."

Shi Chuan's smile froze slightly, but he quickly nodded obediently: "Okay."

He turned and went back to the kitchen, and his smile gradually faded.

It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to taste it.

It doesn't matter if she is no longer attracted to his hand.

Last time, she would vomit when she touched him, but last time she had allowed him to call her "sister".

And this time he cooked dinner for her in her kitchen.

This progress is already very fast.

Shi Chuan made sweet and sour pork ribs with preserved plums and a plate of stir-fried vegetables. When he took them out, Tang Sijia was sitting on the sofa, with a notebook on her knees, and she was looking at the documents.

Shi Chuan paused, and his eyes showed a bit of tenderness.

The two seemed to have returned to the past, he was busy in the kitchen, she was busy working in the living room, and then he would call her...

"Sister, it's time to eat." Shi Chuan said.

Tang Sijia subconsciously said "um", and the next second, her hand paused on the keyboard, stagnated for a while, and then stood up as if nothing had happened.

Shi Chuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He felt that the distance between the two of them was invisibly shortened with her response.

The dining table is no longer as cramped as before, and it is more than enough to accommodate six people, let alone two people.

Tang Sijia sat on one side of the dining table, lowered her head, and looked at the dishes in front of her, with a complicated heart.

These were all the dishes she had praised after eating them before.

"You have been on the road all day, you must be hungry." Shi Chuan handed her the chopsticks skillfully.

Tang Sijia took the chopsticks: "Thank you."

Shi Chuan paused slightly, and soon returned to his usual state: "Sister, don't be polite to me," he said, thinking of something, "I made an extra breakfast and put it in the refrigerator. Sister, just heat it up when you get up tomorrow morning."

Tang Sijia was slightly startled and looked up at him.

"Sister?" When he met her gaze, Shi Chuan felt embarrassed.

But the next second, he heard a quiet voice from the opposite side: "You don't have to do this."

Shi Chuan tightened his hand holding the chopsticks, and smiled skillfully: "Aren't we brother and sister? Besides, it's not troublesome, just do it."

Tang Sijia was silent for a moment, and this time he didn't say anything more.

"Sister's new house is very good," Shi Chuan ate dinner, and seemed to find a topic casually, "The window is very big, and there must be plenty of sunlight during the day."

Just like they once sat on the carpet of the rental house together to choose a house.

"Yeah." Tang Sijia replied lightly.

Shi Chuan seemed to be greatly encouraged, and asked again: "Sister has never laid carpets again?"

Tang Sijia lowered his eyes: "... No."

"Didn't you choose one you like? I know the chairman of a handmade carpet company, who can give me..."

"I don't like reading and working on the carpet anymore." Tang Sijia interrupted him.

Shi Chuan's voice suddenly stopped, and after a long time, he squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "Really?"

Tang Sijia didn't respond this time. She quietly finished the rice in front of her, put away the dishes and chopsticks, and was about to take them to the kitchen.

"I'll do it." Shi Chuan woke up as if from a dream, stood up and was about to take the dishes and chopsticks from her hand.

"You have already cooked, let me wash the dishes." Tang Sijia apologized, avoided his hand, and walked into the kitchen.

Shi Chuan still stood there, and she was very polite to him.

Even though he told himself again and again that this was just the beginning of a fresh start.

But the twisted and trembling heart, the sore feeling, was still beyond his expectations.

He suddenly remembered something from a long time ago.

Last year's Qingming Festival, she was crying for her parents, curled up on the carpet, he held her back to the bedroom, his heart trembling like it is now.

At that time, he thought he was excited because of her sadness.

But now, he seemed to understand that it was not excitement, but heartache.

But his enlightenment was a whole year late.

The sound of water in the kitchen disappeared, Tang Sijia came out wiping her hands, and looked at the time: "Have you contacted the driver?"

Shi Chuan looked at her eyebrows in a trance: "Yeah."

Tang Sijia breathed a sigh of relief: "Then you should go back and rest early."

"Okay." Shi Chuan responded in a low voice, looked at her again, and then turned and left.

Tang Sijia did not see him off, and went to the bathroom when she heard the door closing.

The next morning, Tang Sijia divided the specialties she brought with her into several portions and gave them to colleagues at the content center. She also left a unique gift for Sister Wang and her daughter.

"I haven't seen you for more than two months, Sijia. You seem to be different!" Sister Wang sighed, "You are calmer, more relaxed, and there is light in your eyes."

Sister Wang also heard Li Yi mention that she and Lu Langzhou had separated. She was originally worried that she would lose weight after returning this time, but she didn't expect that she would be much better than she thought!

Tang Sijia smiled, and Song Xiuren's face appeared in her mind: "Someone helped me."

Sister Wang squinted her eyes and looked at her expression: "Sijia, tell me, this 'someone', it can't be..."

"Of course not." Tang Sijia said hurriedly, speaking too hastily, but it reduced her credibility a lot.

"I haven't said anything yet, and you deny it?" Sister Wang deliberately said. Seeing her blushing, she stopped teasing and just smiled and said, "Sijia, I'm happy to see that you still have hope for love in your eyes."

Tang Sijia's expression gradually calmed down. After a long time, she asked softly: "Sister Wang, if you withdraw from a relationship in a short time, is it too fast?"

"Fast?" Sister Wang was incredulous, "More than two months, more than sixty days and nights, how can it be fast?"

At this point, she remembered something: "Do you know how long it took me to get over it after I broke up with my ex-husband?"

Tang Sijia shook her head in confusion.

Sister Wang made a "nine" gesture.

"Nine months?"

"Pah, nine days," Sister Wang laughed, "Three days of crying, three days of overeating, three days of going to the gym, the tenth day of cheering up, and half a month later successfully started a second spring."

Tang Sijia was stunned.

"Of course, for Chenchen, I will never step into the grave of marriage again," Sister Wang patted her shoulder, "but appropriate exchanges are still beneficial to the body and mind."

"Wang Xiujun, what did you teach Xiao Tang?" Manager Sun's pretended serious voice sounded from outside the door, and he looked at Tang Sijia while speaking, "Xiao Tang, come to my office."

Sister Wang shrugged and returned to her workstation.

Tang Sijia took the specialty she brought and walked into Manager Sun's office.

Manager Sun glanced at the specialty in her hand and didn't say much: "How do you feel about the business trip?"

"It's pretty good," Tang Sijia thought for a while, and added, "I gained a lot."

Whether it's work or personal.

This business trip is the decision she has never regretted.

Manager Sun nodded with satisfaction, took the specialty and looked at it for a few times: "I like the taste there."

"Of course, what I say next has nothing to do with the gift you gave me."

Tang Sijia was puzzled.

Manager Sun: "I'm going to be promoted to vice president."

Tang Sijia was surprised: "Congratulations, Manager Sun."

"So, the position of manager will be vacant soon. I have recommended you to my superiors." Manager Sun continued.

Tang Sijia was stunned.

"You won't say that you feel you are not worthy of it and can't take on this kind of thing again, right?" Manager Sun asked slowly.

Tang Sijia was silent for a moment, and shook his head quietly: "No."

"I will try my best."

Manager Sun was satisfied: "By the way, remember to deal with the review. In the next few days, work overtime with the screenwriter team, delete all the illegal plot branches, activate the backup plot, and integrate it better. It's best not to let people see obvious flaws." "

Okay." Tang Sijia nodded.

In the next period of time, as Manager Sun said, I worked overtime with the screenwriter team almost every day.

The online meeting was online almost all day, as if I had returned to the days before the initial script was finalized.

Fortunately, after a week of torment, several people still drove out the iterative script and passed the review again before the crew started filming.

After finishing work that day, Tang Sijia finally breathed a sigh of relief and had a special dinner with the screenwriter team.

After the dinner, he returned home. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

The cell phone rang, and Tang Sijia opened the door and took out the phone.

Song Xiuren: [Since you are done with work, shouldn't you put the dinner you promised me on your schedule, Miss Tang? ]

The chat record above was still her message to him sighing that she was finally done with work.

Tang Sijia curled her lips unconsciously, and was about to reply when Manager Sun called.

Tang Sijia immediately had a bad association in his heart, and when he answered the phone, it was indeed confirmed.

The reason was that there was a description of desert star tracks and galaxy arch bridges in the original book of "Dream", which was a sign of the protagonist entering a false memory in the dream, which was equivalent to an extremely important transition.

Originally, it was planned to prepare this scene under the green screen, but now the budget has increased, and the team decided to go to Chaka Salt Lake, known as the "Mirror of the Sky", for real-life shooting.

Only the director, cameraman and leading actor from the team went lightly, and the company also needed to send one person to go with them.

Tang Sijia followed the entire process from the beginning, and was more familiar with the new script and project database, so she had to go.

Fortunately, most of the scenes that needed to be shot were empty scenes, including the itinerary on the road, which only took four or five days.

Tang Sijia hung up the phone, and the mobile phone page still stayed on the chat dialog box with Song Xiuren.

She pursed her lips, called the other party, told him that she was about to go on a business trip, and proposed to treat him to a big meal when she came back from the business trip.

Song Xiuren's tone was more imperceptible than the last time: "Ms. Tang, you are really busy."

"It's just this period of time," Tang Sijia said hurriedly, "Are you unhappy?"

"A little bit." Song Xiuren said honestly.

"Sorry..." Tang Sijia was about to apologize.

Song Xiuren smiled helplessly and interrupted her: "I am unhappy, not because you are busy, but because we haven't seen each other for nine days."

Tang Sijia was stunned.

Even though Song Xiuren said last time that he wanted to win her favor, he always knew how to act and never said anything disgusting.

This seemed to be the first time he told her so bluntly: he wanted to see her.

"Besides, there are some things I plan to say to you in person." Song Xiuren's voice was low, with a slight hoarseness at the end.

Tang Sijia's breathing seemed to stagnate, and she seemed to have guessed what he was going to say.

She cleared her cough nervously and joked: "It's been two times that we haven't been able to have this meal. Maybe we lack some fate."

Song Xiuren didn't speak in the receiver. He only said after a moment of silence: "The altitude over there at Chaka Salt Lake is high, the ultraviolet rays are strong, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. Remember to prepare rhodiola rosea, oxygen cylinders, apply sunscreen, and bring some warm clothes."

"I know."

"Yeah." Song Xiuren responded.

*

Tang Sijia arrived at Chaka Salt Lake in the evening of the next day. Fortunately, although it was her first time to visit a plateau scenic spot, she did not have any altitude sickness.

Several people stayed in a nearby four-star hotel. Since they had already greeted the cultural and tourism department, they went straight to the scene after adapting to the local environment for a short time.

This was the first time Tang Sijia saw the starry sky and the lake of Chaka Salt Lake. It was really like a mirror inlaid on the ground, deep and blue.

Like the eyes of the earth.

Perhaps by associating the lake in front of her with the eyes, another pair of eyes suddenly flashed in Tang Sijia's mind.

It was also at this moment that the phone rang. Tang Sijia paused and took out her phone.

It was a text message: [Are you on a business trip, sister? ]

And above, there were many messages, which were bits and pieces of his experience in the hospital during this period.

Tang Sijia rarely replied.

She felt that everything now seemed to have exceeded her initial expectations. She thought that the two would drift apart, but the reality was that his messages were becoming more and more frequent.

Tang Sijia was planning to deal with it calmly, but another text message came in: [Today, the wound relapsed during the dressing change. The doctor cut off a small piece of flesh and was scolded by William. ]

Probably knowing that she would not reply, he quickly sent another message to himself: [Is Chaka Salt Lake beautiful? ]

Tang Sijia lowered her eyes for a long time, turned on the camera, took a photo of the blue, and sent it.

After the photo was successfully sent, she ignored the message on her phone.

There were few people on this business trip. In addition to being responsible for her own work, Tang Sijia would also take the initiative to help others do some small things within her ability. It was

not until 4:30 in the morning that they finished their work exhausted.

Back at the hotel, Tang Sijia barely took the last bit of strength to take a shower, and fell asleep on the bed after walking out of the bathroom.

In a daze, she didn't know how long she slept. When she woke up, the sky outside was actually a little dim.

Tang Sijia took the phone and found that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

She actually slept for nearly ten hours.

After her stomach growled a few times, Tang Sijia got up, washed up, and went downstairs to prepare for dinner.

Unexpectedly, the restaurant's dinner service time was 5:30. Tang Sijia rubbed her aching stomach and hesitated between going out to find food and waiting for 20 minutes for the meal to be served.

It was also during her hesitation that the phone rang. It was

Song Xiuren's call.

Tang Sijia clicked to answer the call, and the voice on the other end soon came: "What are you doing?"

Tang Sijia found a seat in the restaurant and sat down: "Waiting for the restaurant to open for dinner."

"Hungry?"

"Yeah," Tang Sijia's voice involuntarily lowered a little, and she complained softly, "I stayed up all night last night, slept all day today, and didn't eat much."

"Why don't we go to eat the big meal that Miss Tang owes me?"

Tang Sijia laughed and echoed his joke: "Okay, if you are here."

The person on the receiver chuckled: "Look back."

Tang Sijia subconsciously looked back, and her body suddenly stiffened.

Song Xiuren stood at the entrance of the restaurant, his eyebrows and eyes were a little tired, looking at her intently, still holding the mobile phone in his hand, and walked step by step to her table.

"I think we are quite destined to be together." Song Xiuren said.

*

On the loop road heading to Chaka Salt Lake.

The boy sat quietly in the back seat of the car, his thin face showed a bit of frail paleness, and his hand kept stroking an old mobile phone.

When he clicked on the photo of Chaka Salt Lake for countless times, William called.

His tone was obviously used to it, accompanied by the sound of flipping through documents, he casually asked: "Where did you go this time?"

Shi Chuan glanced out the window: "Qinghai."

"Did Miss Tang go there on a business trip?"

"Yeah."

William sneered: "If I heard it right, Sun Zhi said that Miss Tang will be back in five days at most."

Shi Chuan was quiet for a while: "She sent me a photo last night."

"Then?"

"I suddenly want to see her."
