Chapter 38: Invite me to dinner

There are four distinct seasons in Fenglin City. The weather was already very cold in November. Tang Susu caught a cold two days ago and wanted to wrap himself into a ball when he went out.
Compared to colleagues wearing short skirts and flesh-colored stockings, she felt as if she came from another planet.
The usually active dog egg is reluctant to show up at this moment, either lying on the soft bed of the handbag specially prepared for it all day, or shrinking in the pocket of the coat.
As a bowl spirit, it is also afraid of cold, which is really unscientific!
During the lunch break, Tang Susu suddenly received a call from his best friend Baimian, saying that the plane was back at 6 this afternoon, which made her very happy.
It has been more than a year since Bai Mian left. There was a time difference between the two of them. It was not easy to say that the weather is really good today, and it is not easy to say that you have eaten tomorrow.
He happily bought a bunch of vegetables at home and drove to the airport after seeing the time was almost up.
This wait lasted for more than two hours. Seeing the time passed by, but there was no white cotton person, she dialed but no one answered.
In desperation, he could only drive back. Until the next day, there was no news from Baimian.
Tang Susu panicked and had been wandering this morning.
Bai Mian is a very punctual person, and he never remembers the time wrongly. Even if he made a mistake before, according to past habits, he should have given her news as soon as possible, but one night later, there was no letter.
In the afternoon, Tang Susu finally waited a little anxiously, and found an unnamed number from the blacklist of the mobile phone. He hesitated for a while before finally pressing the call button.
The phone rang only twice and was picked up. The voice on the other side of the phone was slightly surprised, "Su Su?"
"it's me."
"It's been a long time since I heard your voice, how are you?"
Listening to the gentle male voice on the other end of the phone, Tang Susu looked at the pitch-black computer screen and her indifferent expression was reflected on the screen, "Bai Le, do you know where the white cotton is?"
She did not respond to the other party's greeting, as if she had not heard it at all.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. Finally, before Tang Susu ran out of patience, a voice came again, "She is at home."
"When did she come back?"
"Last night, I picked her up."
"I see, goodbye." The answer from the other party didn't let Tang Susu's brows loosen, but he became more worried.
"Susu, don't you want to tell me something?"
The answer to him was the voice of hanging up, without hesitation.
Tang Susu deleted the call log and put the string of numbers back where he should have been.
For Bai Le's question just now, she only found it a little funny. What can I say to him? If it was a few years ago, she might still have the thought to get to the bottom. Today, everyone is just a stranger who was once familiar.
A week passed, and every day, Tang Susu would call Bai Mian, but the call was not answered. I have not responded to the information sent in the past.
She couldn't even be sure whether Bai Le's words were true, but she couldn't go to Bai's house, and there was no other channel to know Baimian's news.
After get off work, she walked slowly on the road alone. It was cold now, and it was getting dark early, and it was dark outside just after five o'clock.
She was shrunk in a cashmere coat, her neck and mouth were surrounded by a long woolen scarf, and the cold air was successfully isolated.
After walking not far, there was a horn sound from behind. She thought she was in the way and gave way to the side. As a result, the sound of the horn behind became more and more rapid.
Turning her head unhappily, a Maybach that looked very familiar appeared in front of her.
The car stopped beside her, the window dropped, revealing the familiar face, "Chairman."
"Just got off work?" Shi Chengxuan turned his head slightly, the dim light of the street lamp hit his side face, and even the curvature of the corner of his mouth could be clearly seen.
"Yeah." Although I can see the boss basically every day, seeing it at work is completely different from seeing it after get off work.
"Get in the car, I'll take you back."
"..." Tang Susu paused, then went around to the other side, opened the car door and sat in.
The warm air in the car immediately surrounded her, she sighed, and after putting on the seat belt, she began to take off her neck in circles.
It's not easy to tie a two-meter long bib.
Shi Chengxuan watched her with interest for a long time, and before she even noticed it, he started the car.
"Secretary Wu told me that you have been absent-minded for the past few days, has something happened at home?" Shi Chengxuan turned his head to talk to her when the traffic light was open.
Tang Susu blinked, Secretary Wu even told the boss about such things? Is he complaining or caring about himself?
"It's not at home." Tang Susu was a little embarrassed, he looked at Shi Chengxuan hesitantly, not knowing what to say.
"That's what kind of trouble you have encountered. Let me tell you, maybe I can help you."
At this time, Tang Susu could no longer think about whether the other party had any other purpose for being so enthusiastic. Apart from Shi Chengxuan, I am afraid that no one else could help her.
She only hesitated for a moment, and she said, "I have a good friend. She called and told me to pick up the plane last week, but I didn't pick her up, and I haven't been able to contact her until today."
"disappeared?"
Tang Susu shook his head, "I contacted her brother, and her brother said that she had gone home, but I was a little worried."
"What is your name?"
"White cotton."
"The Bai family?" Shi Chengxuan raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
"Well, we are junior high school alumni and we have known each other for many years." Few people knew about her relationship with Bai Mian before. There is a big gap between the two of them. Tang Susu is quiet and low-key, while Bai Mian prefers to be lively and high-profile.
They will become good friends, which is amazing to say.
After Tang Susu finished speaking, Shi Chengxuan didn't say a word or said whether to help her.
Waiting until the car drove outside the community where she lived, and she was unfastening the seat belt, Shi Chengxuan suddenly asked, "Do you know how to cook?"
Tang Susu turned his head to look at him blankly, and replied subconsciously: "Yes."
"Invite me to dinner."
"..." You are really welcome.
However, Tang Susu did not refuse in the end, making him once again successfully enter the room.
She has bought vegetables and meat at home, Tang Susu’s craftsmanship is so-so, and the dishes can be imported by herself, which is not too bad. When she was busy in the kitchen, Shi Chengxuan sat on the sofa and watched TV and made phone calls.
After the food was ready, it was already an hour later. Because there was one more person, she had to fry three dishes and add a pot of soup because she usually solved the battle with one meal and one dish.
