Chapter 6
Take it easy!
On the way back to the workstation, Zheng Shuyi kept smiling
Then she looked up and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Shi."
I am no longer playing, goodbye to you
Shiyan made a sound of "hm" and then came down to lead the horse towards the gate to Cheng.
The three individuals were not far apart, and Yan could see every move made on this side
Okay
... ...
If one were to select the place within a company where disputes are most likely to arise, the restroom would undoubtedly take the top spot
Why does even a single "um" make her feel that something is off everywhere
It is not about holding or supporting, but about carrying.
Zheng Shuyi immediately looked towards Shi Yan
Ah? Regarding Zheng Shuyi staying up all night to write the manuscript, Kong Nan was not surprised. However, the other implication of this statement struck her hard, "Does this mean you still managed to interview Shi Yan?"
Zheng Shuyi is not a delicate person; she has a habit of exercising and a foundation in dance, so riding a horse is not a difficult task for her
No, no. Zheng Shuyi's eyes were vacant as she randomly tugged at her bangs, saying, "I just want to have a little experience."
At this moment, Zheng Shuyi had no mind to be angry about how ridiculous this action was. As soon as she saw the horse come to a stop, she immediately jumped down, not caring how awkward her movements were. The moment her feet touched the ground, it was as if she came back to life, retreating several steps in quick succession.
As soon as she walked into the office area, Kong Nan gave her a knowing look. Once she sat down, Kong Nan hurriedly turned around and whispered, "Did you not check your phone? Why didn't you reply to my WeChat?"
Due to inertia, Zheng Shuyi leaned back and pressed against someone's chest.
It hurts so much right now, it must be bruised from being chafed by the saddle
What can be done to Zheng Shuyi after she has engaged in psychological counseling for herself? Can she still be used to feed the horses?
The two individuals sat in the back seat just as they had arrived
Zheng Shuyi understood in her heart that matters lingering on the edge of unspoken rules have never been constrained by regulations. Since the situation had not escalated, Tang Yi did not wish to spend too much time dealing with such issues during the performance season
Her nervousness has undoubtedly been fully revealed, and it is pointless to conceal it any further now
Her hand trembled, and the phone fell to the ground with a "bang".
A picturesque scene, characterized by a harmonious beauty of rhythm
Is it Mercury retrograde recently? Why are all these little people rushing towards her?
Is Zheng Shuyi now facing an impregnable fortress? Is it a mountain of knives and a sea of flames? Is it the wrath of God?
I did not cast a spell
His tone was very flat, but Zheng Shuyi seemed to detect a hint of sarcasm.
The moment the warm palm pressed against him, Shi Yan lowered his head and happened to see Zheng Shuyi's face, which was devoid of color, even whiter than the pearls on her earlobes, with only the tip of her nose slightly reddened due to excitement, and it seemed that there were still droplets of moisture clinging to her eyelashes
"Oh, you scared me! I thought you were going to suffer a silent loss." Kong Nan immediately laughed, happily turning back to attend to his own matters. Suddenly recalling something, he turned back and said, "Speaking of which, Shi Yan is quite a good person."
The car is parked downstairs at her home
and also blinked his eyes
Having spoken, he patted the horse and turned back to wave at Shi Yan
Is this horse crazy? Slow down!
They are not relatives; it is merely that Guan Xiangcheng has a certain acquaintance with Shi Yan's father, and today Shi Yan has come specifically to keep him company and pass the time
Although she had only interacted with Shi Yan for a few hours, his temperament was already somewhat evident, and it should not be like this
"Mr. Shi." Zheng Shuyi smiled shyly, looking at Shi Yan with a hint of nervousness, "Then could you please teach me?"
Moreover, Shi Yan seemed to intend to maintain a certain physical distance from her, as his arm did not encircle her, causing Zheng Shuyi to feel as if she might fall off the horse with every jolt
At that moment, Yan put on his gloves, walked over to the horse, and leisurely stroked its mane, yet did not take any further action
Slow down!" she shouted, gripping the saddle tightly, "Slow down, slow down!
Under the golden sunlight, Shi Yan stands beside a chestnut horse, his black knight's attire elegant and full of tension, while the horse's coat is groomed to a shine like satin
Then Zheng Shuyi became unsettled
If the scheduled interviews can be intercepted by others, does she not work overtime? Is she really waiting for the other party's article to be published before she hurriedly submits her own?
Good
The banquet proceeded neither hurriedly nor slowly, and there was no conversation; it was as if they were strolling towards the runway.
As she left the racetrack, she had confirmed that her earrings were still on her, but now they had disappeared, which surely meant they had fallen in the car, so she immediately turned back
However, today's experience has truly exhausted her greatly. The car, driving along the winding mountain road with eighteen bends, seemed to transform into a cradle, and soon, she fell asleep leaning against the car window
Hmm
It is not ruled out that Tang or the editor-in-chief believes that Xu Yuling's manuscript is better written, and therefore, in the end, it will still be published.
Zheng Shuyi felt that her breathing had become labored, even somewhat heated, and the up-and-down motion caused by the horse's movement would make her head bump against Shi Yan's chin.
It's nothing
Just as she was about to go out, the bathroom door was violently pushed open with a loud noise, causing Zheng Shuyi to instinctively retract her hand that was about to open the stall.
Zheng Shuyi fastened her buttons, and as she looked up, she saw the clouds dispersing and the mist clearing. The sun had already dipped below the horizon, and myriad rays of sunset light spread across the sky
Zheng Shuyi blinked her eyes, shouldn't she be the one walking in front holding the horse
Last night, she returned home and began writing until dawn. In a daze, she took a shower and did not pay attention to the condition of her legs
She probably lost half of her life, yet Shi Yan remained so calm that even her breathing was steady
Ah! She couldn't help but exclaim, gripping the saddle tightly amidst the jolting.
However, at the moment she sat down, a sharp pain shot through her thigh
A person like Shi Yan, who can specifically come to spend time with him, clearly indicates his status in Shi Yan's heart
Zheng Shuyi turned to look at Xu Yuling, who was sitting and flipping through a magazine, her expression relaxed and seemingly composed
Zheng Shuyi rubbed her brow and opened the computer: "I know."
Having spoken, she strode away, gently closing the door behind her
Suddenly, the bruise on my leg seems to hurt less, and my steps are not so unsteady anymore
When she woke up, there was only the driver in the car
I am certain," Kong Nan said seriously, "Can I joke about such matters? I have helped you review your outline, and I remember it clearly; there is no way I could be mistaken. Every question is exactly the same.
What is this little pain
A few minutes later, the adjustment failed
Zheng Shuyi watched his silhouette, her emotions remained unsettled.
Xu Yuling felt a chill on her back. In the moment she raised her eyes, she saw Zheng Shuyi standing behind her in the mirror, smiling at her.
For instance, at this moment, Zheng Shuyi could tell immediately who it was just by hearing that voice
Shi Yan made a sound of "hm".
Zheng Shuyi : `` ... ... ''
Upon entering the restroom, Zheng Shuyi looked down and indeed found it to be so
The horse became increasingly excited, almost performing a 180-degree turn as it leaped over the railing, causing Zheng Shuyi to feel a blur before her eyes and a wave of dizziness.
By the edge of the pool, Xu Yuling held her phone, unsure of who she was talking to. "Since Zheng Shuyi was transferred to the finance team, how much of my share has she taken? Two years ago, I secured three main projects, last year two, and this year, well, it's the end of the year and I haven't gotten a single one! Does Tang Yi dare to ask herself if she has been biased towards Zheng Shuyi?"
This person is truly despicable
However, just as a wave of nausea surged in her stomach, the reins in front of her suddenly tightened
Shi Yan raised his head to look at her
Zheng Shuyi's hand suddenly tightened around the mouse, and her eyes widened: "Are you sure?"
The car has already driven far away
"It's nothing." Zheng Shuyi gritted her teeth and said word by word, "It's my first time riding a horse, and I'm a bit nervous."
Zheng Shuyi could not be bothered with the fifty yuan earrings bought from this jewelry store
Yesterday, she also spoke with Tang Yi
Hmm
Immediately afterward, the person who entered began to speak
Forget it
Now the editor-in-chief Tang is aware of it, let's see what she has to say. Kong Nan patted Zheng Shuyi on the back to comfort her, "Did you not sleep well last night because you were so angry after being intercepted? Just look at how haggard you are."
In the following hours, Tang Yi replied to the email but did not contact Zheng Shuyi, and the busy sign remained hanging at the office door
Hiss
Zheng Shuyi slammed the mouse, and with a "bang," fell back against the chair, her eyes fixed on the computer almost bursting with fire
Shi Yan seemed to have not heard her words at all, instead becoming increasingly faster
The inertial impact was immense, and Zheng Shuyi found herself crawling forward, just about to collide with the horse's neck when suddenly, someone tightly grabbed the back of her clothing.
Thus, Zheng Shuyi cleared her throat lightly
Zheng Shuyi took a big gulp of water, and after calming down, said: "I was just up all night writing the manuscript"
Shi Yan seemed to have noticed Zheng Shuyi's stiffness
The horse ran very fast, and the saddle beneath her repeatedly jolted against her, causing pain between her legs. Coupled with the rapid acceleration due to gravity, it did not take long for Zheng Shuyi to feel dizzy and disoriented.
He paused, lowered his head to adjust his white gloves, and remained silent
Zheng Shuyi thought she had misheard and was momentarily stunned
I damn well know he is not a good person
She was radiant, her newly done nails sparkling in the sunlight, nearly blinding Zheng Shuyi's eyes
The riding pants she wore were snug and soft, and she effortlessly mounted the horse, tossing her hair back, gripping the saddle, and looking down at Shi Yan.
Not studying anymore
Gabriel García Márquez once said that when a woman decides to pursue a man, there is no wall she cannot overcome, no fortress she cannot topple, and no concern she cannot cast aside; in fact, there is no God who can restrain her.
After several laps, Zheng Shuyi did not realize how many times she had screamed; she only felt a burning pain in her throat, and her hair was blown messily across her face by the wind
... ... ? ''
For some reason, his tone gave Zheng Shuyi a sense of malice
Perhaps it is an illusion
She has not yet come to a conclusion, a wave of warmth surged from behind her, the saddle sank, and the horse lunged forward a few steps
Zheng Shuyi leaned against the table, lowering her head to look at her legs, and the thought she had dismissed resurfaced once again
However, inexplicably, Zheng Shuyi felt a chill on her back
Zheng Shuyi always feels that something is not right
It is clearly her interview, so why should there be any concern about whether someone else's article will be published now
I am going to the restroom. " Zheng Shuyi pointed to Tang Yi's office and said to Kong Nan, " Please keep an eye on things for me and send me a message if anything comes up.
Yes, and I submitted my manuscript this morning
As he saw another barrier ahead, the horse was charging at full speed. Zheng Shuyi felt a surge of panic, his heart racing to his throat, and his eyes widened in alarm
Kong Nan looked at her as if she were a lunatic, but she ignored him, as if she had just been promoted and became wealthy
Until 5 o'clock, Zheng Shuyi finally received Tang Yi's feedback on the manuscript. The comments were consistent with the previous style, without mentioning any other matters at all
Zheng Shuyi turned her head and saw Xu Yuling on the other side, holding a cup of coffee, standing by the window and chatting casually with the supervisor of the administration department
Shi Yan raised his hand and made a gesture of "please"
Zheng Shuyi could not help but glance a few more times
What happened? Kong Nan turned around and said, "Be careful."
Thus, when she was organizing her notebook last night, her brain capacity nearly reached its limit; it was not her illusion
What happened
One must endure hardships to become a good aunt-in-law
Zheng Shuyi leaned against the door, gritted her teeth, and for the eighteenth time in her heart, greeted Shi Yan.
He loosened the reins and walked towards them
No wonder, during the interview yesterday at the banquet, he displayed that kind of bewildering expression in response to the questions she posed.
After Guan Xiangcheng finished speaking, he left. Before long, Zheng Shuyi heard the sound of galloping hooves.
The current issue is that, although Zheng Shuyi has submitted her manuscript, Xu Yuling has used her outline to write the same content
Hello
It is nothing more than a small refusal from him
He appears to be extremely gentle, as if he is not the kind of person who has just done such a thing
I guess you must have heard about it too. " Kong Nan leaned in a bit closer, " The most infuriating thing is that you showed me your outline, didn't you? Then I looked at her manuscript, and the outline was completely copied from yours.
Zheng Shuyi took a step forward, looking at Xu Yuling in the mirror, leaning closer to her face, "It's just that she has always liked me more."
The afterglow spilled over the horse's body, and with the shaking of its back, the halo became particularly dazzling
Zheng Shuyi did not feel the gaze behind her; she only knew that if she continued to bounce like this, she could transform into a human fountain, showcasing to Shi Yan what she had eaten for lunch.
Is she really not biased towards Zheng Shuyi
Kong Nan looked around and lowered his voice again, speaking in a rapid-fire manner: "This morning, I went to the editor-in-chief's office and saw Xu Yuling submitting her manuscript. I thought to myself, she hasn't had any interview assignments these past two days, so what manuscript could she be submitting? I secretly took a look at her manuscript, and guess what? She actually went to interview Shi Yan yesterday!"
"There are too many group messages, it's pushed down." Zheng Shuyi said while turning on the computer, "What happened?"
Not far away, Guan Xiangcheng came to a stop and looked this way
Another half an hour has passed, and there has been no movement from Zheng Shuyi's side, but Xu Yuling has entered Tang Yi's office
Zheng Shuyi's upper body was completely stiff, remaining motionless, which only heightened her sensory awareness, allowing her to distinctly feel the breath of Shi Yan slowly enveloping her entire body
The howling wind by my ear has ceased, the galloping horse has calmed down, and even the sunlight has become gentle
After getting off the car, Zheng Shuyi thanked the driver and turned to walk into the community
The psychological shadow of horseback riding lingered in Zheng Shuyi's mind for a long time. She pressed against the car window, gripping the handrail tightly, with an eight-hundred-meter distance separating her from Shi Yan, fearing that the car might jolt unexpectedly as it drove along.
Kong Nan made an "OK" gesture, and Zheng Shuyi immediately stood up
smiled slightly
As I pushed open the door to the changing room, a vast expanse of wilderness came into view, the wind rustling the grass, while a few horses leisurely lowered their heads to graze on the ground
"Take it slow!" She grasped Shi Yan's hand tightly, her voice rising with a sob, "I beg you! Slow down! I am begging you!"
After just a few steps, she touched her ear and found the left side to be empty
In the blink of an eye, the air seemed to come to a standstill
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. After adjusting her mindset, she straightened her collar while walking outside
Shi Yan reached out to grasp the reins, wrapping his arms around Zheng Shuyi.
After this, Shi Yan only accompanied Guan Xiangcheng, and the two of them did not come over here again
Meanwhile, the two people in the distance were discussing something unknown, and Guan Xiangcheng looked over, watching Zheng Shuyi smile and shake his head
At this moment, Xu Yuling was not only feeling the guilt of being caught in the act of wrongdoing, but more so, she was experiencing a fright of a supernatural nature, as the color drained from her face at a visibly rapid pace
It is not absolute intimacy, but rather respect, so he will inevitably present his best side in front of him
In fact, during their brief conversation earlier, Zheng Shuyi had roughly grasped the relationship between Shi Yan and Guan Xiangcheng
Zheng Shuyi had not yet had the opportunity to respond when the horse beneath her suddenly trembled and then galloped away.
In fact, her movements were minimal; her leg lightly brushed against the corner of the table, yet it still caused her to gasp in pain
The person on the other end of the phone said something unknown, which made Xu Yuling even angrier. "Don't mention it! I am also unfortunate. Zheng Shuyi received much more information than I did. In comparison, my draft seems to be dismissed by Shi Yan as if it were nothing!"
It seems that such teaching is not necessary after all
As he was thinking, Guan Xiangcheng, who had already ridden far away, turned back and waved to the two, signaling them to follow.
What are you going to do at the back?
If Zheng Shuyi did not see it incorrectly, it seems that Shi Yan also smiled for a moment
Xu Yuling was so engrossed in her complaints that she completely failed to notice the door behind her had been pushed open by no one
Shi Yan held the reins, glanced at her, and took a step back
Zheng Shuyi's fingertips paused on the mouse for a moment, and she let out a cold snort
What Marquez said is not necessarily correct, at least she cannot even surpass this saddle in front of her
"Is it ready?" Guan Xiangcheng walked over leading a horse, resting his arm on the saddle, and gave Zheng Shuyi a once-over, saying, "It looks quite suitable."
Under the action of the banquet, the horse slowly began to walk
On the way back, she still sat in Shi Yan's car
She attempted to adjust her mindset for the third time
As he approached, Guan Xiangcheng said: "This horse is the most docile; let Shiyan teach you how to ride it."
Upon hearing the words "Shiyan", Zheng Shuyi felt a headache coming on, and with the added complications of Xu Yuling's situation, her head was about to explode
She rolled her eyes inwardly and silently took a few steps back
Heaven knows what kind of sorcery she has cast on people, she has revealed all the key points to them
Shi Yan sat on the horse, looking down at her from a high vantage point, leisurely playing with the reins
Zheng Shuyi confirmed once again, yes, hold on.
The next morning, when Zheng Shuyi arrived at the company, his steps felt unsteady.
The horse stops while sprinting
