captured by your prey

Xie Xiyuan flipped through the paper in his hand in every possible way bored, and looked up at the two people across the table from time to time.

She didn't read any of the contents of the document. If it wasn't for Zhou Sheng sitting across from her, she would have wanted to leave a long time ago... No, she wouldn't have come at all.

Sitting next to Zhou Sheng was the director who was transferred last time. This man seemed to be very active in everything he did. Whenever he had any ideas, he would come to discuss with Zhou Sheng.And the document in Xie Xiyuan's hand is a project they want to plan recently. Normally, people in Xie Xiyuan's position would not have the opportunity to see this kind of document. She guessed that Zhou Sheng wanted to let her understand and opportunities for contact.

This wasn't a bad thing at all, but when she got here, she just felt panicked.

A few days ago when she was having dinner with Zhou Sheng, she started chatting, she hesitated for a long time before asking—who is that person?

Listen patiently to Zhou Sheng's explanation of the company's recent situation word by word—why this person has to be transferred here, and what preparations will be made after he comes here.Only then did she pretend that she didn't care and asked, "Then you'll be very busy for a while, how are you working with him? It shouldn't bother you, right?"

Zhou Sheng is not good at socializing, so she often encounters situations that make her feel embarrassed, Xie Xiyuan thought.

"No, he's pretty good." Zhou Sheng told her without any hesitation.This made Xie Xiyuan's smile froze, and he touched his face uncomfortably. Although she also knew that they often contacted each other because they worked together at the top level, her voice still became hesitant: "Is that so..."

I don't know how Xie Xiyuan spent the time, and finally finished his work. Zhou Sheng asked Xie Xiyuan if he had any ideas. Xie Xiyuan could only apologize and said that she couldn't see anything. It's perfect.Of course, in reality Xie Xiyuan didn't even look at it.Zhou Sheng could understand that she wasn't really interested. When he wanted to say something, he heard Zheng Yi next to him say, "Manager Zhou, it's almost time for dinner. Look... how about we go have dinner together? I treat you to dinner." "He was asking for Zhou Sheng's opinion, and then he looked at Xie Xiyuan after speaking: "Shall we come together?"

Zhou Sheng looked at Xie Xiyuan subconsciously, but Xie Xiyuan didn't speak, after all, it wasn't her that the other party wanted to ask.Zhou Sheng nodded and said yes, but saw Xie Xiyuan showing her usual smile: "I have something to do at night, so I'll go first, you guys have fun."

"Agaki."

Zhou Sheng called her to stop, but seeing Xie Xiyuan's gentle and undisturbed smile, she didn't know what to say, she paused for a while, and she said: "Be careful on the way back, and be safe."

"Okay, I will."

After finishing speaking, Xie Xiyuan smiled at them, then turned around and didn't look at them anymore, without taking anything, he raised his hand to signal that he would leave first.

——I really don’t know why you are willing to spend time with me. What’s so good about me?

She once asked Zhou Sheng like this, and Zhou Sheng told her clumsily: because you will stay with me.

She must be very lonely, Xie Xiyuan thought on the way back, as long as she is with her, anyone is fine.

That man also seemed quite interested in Zhou Sheng. His status in the company happened to help Zhou Sheng do things, unlike herself——she also thought about whether to accept a promotion offer to try it out, but immediately Being rejected, her energy and time did not allow it. In fact, most of her energy was spent on managing the store.She definitely couldn't be with Zhou Sheng all the time.

In life, she has no value or attractive capital for Zhou Sheng after peeling off her bright skin.

After that day, no matter how slow Zhou Sheng is in socializing, she will find that Xie Xiyuan no longer pesters her often.

But when they ran into each other by chance, Xie Xiyuan was still as enthusiastic and friendly as before.It's just that if they don't have the chance to meet each other, Xie Xiyuan won't show up in her office again, and won't make appointments in any coffee shop or restaurant.Zhou Sheng thought that something happened to Xie Xiyuan, but when he asked her, she would usually tell her that nothing special happened.

She has always been like this.

"Agaki."

Zhou Sheng called her.

She happened to be busy in the company late, and when she walked to the elevator she found that the light in Xie Xiyuan's office was still on, and when she walked over, she found that Xie Xiyuan was still sitting there in the room, she had nothing to do, but willing to leave.

"Aren't you going back?"

"I'm waiting for you—" She grinned at Zhou Sheng, then got up, picked up the coat on the back of the chair, turned off the lights and left the office.

At this time, there seemed to be not many people left in the company building. Xie Xiyuan didn't speak, and there was no sound in the elevator room.Zhou Sheng hesitated for a while, then opened his mouth and asked: "Do you want to have dinner together tonight?" Xie Xiyuan raised his eyes to look at her, and she seemed to be worried about something, and added: "Just the two of us."

Zhou Sheng didn't know if Xie Xiyuan would reject her, because Xie Xiyuan didn't answer her immediately, but seemed to be thinking about something, which made Zhou Sheng very uneasy.

Xie Xiyuan pursed his lips and thought about it, then rubbed his chin: "Today is Wednesday, okay, I'm fine all night, what do you want to eat?"

Zhou Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and asked her if she wanted to try the newly opened restaurant opposite the movie theater last time, Xie Xiyuan smiled and said: "Okay, I'll listen to you."It seems that the two haven't come out to eat alone for a long time. In fact, they are not free every day. Counting the frequency in the past, they may not be able to go out like this a few times a month, but why do they feel that it is a long time since they face each other alone.

"Last time, Zheng Yi said that he went to check your original resume..." Zhou Sheng said, seeing Xie Xiyuan lowered his head and secretly pushed a few strands of vegetable leaves away from the bowl. "Then he told me you don't have any relatives you can make emergency contact with, aren't you with them?"

"My words..." Xie Xiyuan, with chopsticks in his mouth, narrowed his eyes as if recalling something: "No, we didn't live together a long time ago."

"Well, actually... Actually the university you were studying at that time was pretty good," Zhou Sheng wanted to ask something but was worried that Xie Xiyuan would mind, so he looked at her specially in the middle of the sentence, seeing that Xie Xiyuan didn't have any strange expression on his face, so he continued : "But you didn't read on, what's wrong?"

Xie Xiyuan thought for a while, then frowned and said, "Hmm... that school sucks, the teachers don't know how to focus on the lectures, the school is all about formality, people like me love to play, so I should stay there You might as well give me a shot." She exaggerated her description, then suddenly restrained herself, and looked at Zhou Sheng: "The most important thing is - the people in that place are so boring! Their thoughts are written on their faces, their Socializing is mainly in the dormitory on the first floor, and their cognitive scope is basically worn on the body, a few graduation rules, and they don’t care about the rest... You can’t even chat with them if you want to.”

Zhou Sheng listened to Xie Xiyuan without saying a word, she wanted to try to recall what happened to her in school back then, but it was already blurred.

"Then do you know what the most important thing is—" Xie Xiyuan approached Zhou Sheng earnestly: "I have bad grades in school and I can't stay any longer. I just made up all of the above."

"puff……"

Zhou Sheng laughed when he heard the words: "No way, have you been so self-willed since before?"

Xie Xiyuan was startled, a moment of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to his normal expression, and said softly, "You don't like this, do you?"

"I'm self-willed...you don't like this, do you?"

Zhou Sheng didn't expect Xie Xiyuan to ask such a question, but she simply expressed her feelings.When she said this, she definitely didn't mean to be disgusted.But she didn't know how to explain this, she could only tell Xie Xiyuan that she didn't think so, don't think so. "You have always done a good job in everything you do. You are a very conscientious person. You won't be far behind."

Xie Xiyuan smiled softly: "Oh? You trust me so much, what if I make a mistake one day—the kind that makes you angry."

"Then, just apologize..." After finishing speaking, Zhou Sheng thought carefully about Xie Xiyuan's words, raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "Did you get into any trouble?"

Xie Xiyuan explained again and again: "Of course not! Making a mistake doesn't necessarily mean causing trouble, it may mean doing something well, but it's not a good thing."

"Then, why don't you change to another location to see?"

The conversation turned back to the company.

why?Obviously many things are not difficult for her to do, but she will not choose to do that, she always does not choose.

Before getting acquainted with Xie Xiyuan, Zhou Sheng had actually heard this name several times. Several department managers in that office had mentioned this person, but the person who was promoted in the end was never Xie Xiyuan.Xie Xiyuan sat in that position all the time, and for a good part of the time she did nothing after finishing her work, just letting go there.

Zhou Sheng also didn't understand why Xie Xiyuan was willing to work part-time to earn more money. Is it because the money in such a place is faster than the company here?But if money is needed, why not accept other higher paying positions?She actually thought about whether to talk to Xie Xiyuan about these things, but every time she faced Xie Xiyuan, she didn't know how to say it, and Xie Xiyuan refused after several attempts, so she couldn't do it anymore ask for more.

"Because I don't like it." Xie Xiyuan lowered his eyelids.

Zhou Sheng hesitated for a while, and finally said: "You are young now, so you still have many opportunities. Slowly you will find that you have to do many things if you don't like it. This is something you can't help... In the future Things still need to be calculated.”

Xie Xiyuan gritted her teeth, and looked away from her changed eyes at that moment. Her hand holding the tableware trembled a little, as if she was trying her best to cover up and endure something.

After a while, she told Zhou Sheng, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Usually the subtext of what Xie Xiyuan said is - I will make you think that I can't achieve it even if I try my best, so I can only give up.

And Zhou Sheng only thought that she was really willing to try, and didn't feel that Xie Xiyuan was any different from usual. "That's just right. Let Zheng Yi come over after we finish eating later to discuss what happened last time."

This time Xie Xiyuan didn't answer her, just munching on the vegetables dryly.When Zhou Sheng was about to send a text message to Zheng Yi, she said, "Ah Sheng, thank you for giving me such an opportunity, but I really don't want to do these things. It doesn't matter if you think I'm capricious or you don't like people like me. . . . actually I really, "

"Really can't do it."

She spoke with sincerity and from the heart.

In the past few months, Xie Xiyuan has been coaxing herself with various reasons. She needs to persuade herself not to care too much about her feelings for Zhou Sheng.But there is another voice in her heart that repeats to her all the time: She just doesn't reject your overtures, you know she can't accept you, especially your real appearance, and now there is someone more suitable than you. Standing in that position replaces you, doesn't it?

Xie Xiyuan understands that maybe Zhou Sheng doesn't really think so, and she can't guess Zhou Sheng's emotions, maybe the truth is not like this?But it is true that she has not had much contact with Zhou Sheng in the past few months. It is true that Zhou Sheng does not reject Zheng Yi. Xie Xiyuan can see Zheng Yi's emotions and performance. It is true that he is very interested in Zhou Sheng. of.

Don't mention asking Xie Xiyuan to discuss with them, just seeing Zhou Sheng contacting Zheng Yi already has a strong emotion, she likes her, she is jealous of him, she wants to possess her, she wants to replace him, she wants to Killing her own life with her own hands, she hated her own birth, but she couldn't forgive herself for ignoring those who had connections...God knows how she scratched her flesh with her hands under the table to keep herself looking He looked calm.

Zhou Sheng would not insist on asking her for something, since Xie Xiyuan said so, she nodded, knowing that Xie Xiyuan must have his own reasons.

Xie Xiyuan suddenly showed a wry smile: "Sorry."

Zhou Sheng shook his head: "You must not apologize for this."

"Trust me, I didn't."

Zhou Sheng looked directly at Xie Xiyuan and waited for her next words, but Xie Xiyuan didn't say anything.She suddenly leaned in front of Zhou Sheng, peeled off the hair on the side of her face with one hand, stroked her face, and then kissed her lightly.

Almost just rubbing Zhou Sheng with her lips, Xie Xiyuan had already let go of her before Zhou Sheng could react, she didn't want Zhou Sheng to push herself away by himself.

"I'm apologizing for that."

Xie Xiyuan left after finishing speaking, this was the first time she left Zhou Sheng's side so simply.
