"And for the meeting the boss is going to attend this afternoon, I've prepared a formal suit. It's in the dressing room at the back. Remember to get it for Mu Yuze later."
Only after giving these instructions did Lu Xue hang up the phone. Yan Hua stared at Mu Yuze's slightly relaxed expression, relieved in his heart, but scolded him on the surface.
"You know, this little intern is really so ignorant. She doesn't follow any rules at all. When answering my call, she was so cold, looking so disgusted. I'm a top - level assistant! Do you know what status a top - level assistant has in the company..."
Mu Yuze raised his hand, interrupting what Yan Hua was about to say.
Just now when Lu Xue mentioned his name on the phone, her tone was obviously much more cheerful.
Compared with the disgusted attitude she had towards Yan Hua, Mu Yuze felt that he had confirmed his priority in Lu Xue's heart.
Moreover, she had prepared so many considerate details for him. Mu Yuze's eyes glanced at the dressing room behind him, and a smile curled up on his lips.
Well, forget it. Anyway, she went to see that Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen was an old artist she had been looking for for so long, and his importance to Lu Xue was self - evident.
He wouldn't be jealous of Mr. Chen.
Mu Yuze said, "That's all. You can go now. Later, call Lu Xue and tell her that there's no hurry at the company. Let her come back slowly and pay attention to safety."
Yan Hua was utterly confused.
Just now, the boss was still angry about the little employee taking leave without permission, but now he suddenly told her not to hurry and come back slowly.
Was this change in attitude a bit too obvious? Why couldn't he quite catch what was going on in his boss's mind?
That night, Lu Xue came back very late. Her clothes were all wet, and her face was in a mess.
But judging from her expression, she seemed very disappointed. It should be that she had come back empty - handed after going to find Mr. Chen this time.
Mu Yuze knocked on her door, and the door opened quickly.
Lu Xue had already taken a shower and changed into a comfortable pajamas, but the tired look on her face still hadn't faded.
Mu Yuze was holding a white porcelain plate with a whole cup of warm milk on it.
He probably felt a bit uncomfortable with his own action.
But since he was already here, he had to stare reluctantly at the lamp in mid - air and speak in a flat, emotionless tone.
"Aunt Chen asked me to bring you a cup of milk. She's afraid you'll catch a cold after getting caught in the rain outside today."
Lu Xue's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Aunt Chen is so thoughtful! Please convey my thanks to Aunt Chen! I love her!"
Seeing Lu Xue's cheerful attitude, Mu Yuze somehow felt a bit jealous again.
He should have just told her the truth. This cup of milk with honey was actually heated by himself.
...
Lu Xue stepped aside to let Mu Yuze into the room and drank the milk in one gulp.
Mu Yuze sat in the room for a while and appropriately found a new topic.
"How was it going when you went to find Mr. Chen today?"
When Lu Xue heard this, disappointment showed on her face again.
"Not very smooth. I even got lost today. After wandering around for a long time, I finally found another address of Mr. Chen. But they said he hadn't lived there for half a year. He only went there with his friends for holidays occasionally."
"I came back empty - handed. I thought I might as well just go back. Who knew the signal was so bad in that small mountain village. I spent a long time finding my way back."
Mu Yuze thought for a while and said softly, "If you go to find Mr. Chen again in the future, you can take me with you. Maybe I can help."
Lu Xue waved her hand. "No need. I always trouble you. I feel really bad about it. Besides, you've been so busy these days with so many company affairs. How could I have the nerve to ask you to spare time to accompany me on these things?"
Mu Yuze wanted to say something else, but then he remembered that Lu Xue had seen him working every day. He really couldn't find a more appropriate reason to prove that he was actually not busy at all, so he had to remain silent.
The two of them stayed alone in the room for a while. Mu Yuze wanted to say something several times but couldn't find a new topic. Finally, he had to stand up and said to Lu Xue indifferently.
"Then you should rest first. I'll go back."
Lu Xue enthusiastically saw Mu Yuze out of the door. After saying good night, she closed the door warmly, leaving Mu Yuze standing alone in the corridor.
Mu Yuze stared at the little light in mid - air. Somehow, he felt a bit melancholy in his heart.
Thinking of how Yan Hua and Lu Xue got along during the day, it always seemed overly lively.
They never ran out of topics.
As long as the two of them stood together, they were always chattering and bickering. It was most appropriate to describe them as a bickering couple.
Sometimes Mu Yuze even envied Yan Hua for being able to get along with Lu Xue so cheerfully and naturally.
When he and Lu Xue stood together, most of the time they were silent.
They had little to talk about. There was a bit of restraint between them, and more often than not, finding a topic was quite a luxury.
