On the next day .
Luo Xiaoxi hesitated before she made the call . Finally, she still called Su Yicheng . Surprisingly, Su Yicheng picked it up . In the past, if she woke him up this early, he would have hung up the phone directly .
"Do you have time?" She was half-asking and half-begging . "Come and give me a ride to the company . "
Su Yicheng was just in the garage for his car .
He had early scheduled a sport gathering for today with Luo Boyan and some other guys and did not expect a call from Luo Xiaoxi at this time .
For some unknown reason, he suddenly hated the desperately trying Luo Xiaoxi and involuntarily spoke with the hint of a sneer in his tones . "Did the injuries on your feet recover so quickly?"
"I only need to attend classes today . My foot injuries won't matter . " Luo Xiaoxi was not in the mood to waste time on him . "Do you come or not? I can call my agent to pick me up . "
Su Yicheng opened the door and thought for a moment, and then he sat on the seat . "I'll be there in 10 minutes . "
"Alright, buy me breakfast on the way . " Luo Xiaoxi was asking for more . "I want a barbecued pork rice noodle roll and a tea egg from the rice noodle roll diner downstairs . "
Su Yicheng gritted his teeth . "Luo Xiaoxi, don't push it . "
"Is that what you called 'push it'?" Luo Xiaoxi chuckled . "Well, yes, I did . So what!"
Su Yicheng hung up the phone in a bad mood . Then, he called Shen Yuechuan, telling that he would skip the gathering for some temporary arrangement .
"Didn't you say you're free today?" Shen Yuechuan guessed right . "Are you caught up by Luo Xiaoxi? It doesn't make sense . Everyone knows that she can't hold you . Otherwise, you'd have been hers long ago . "
That was true . However, technically speaking, he was not caught up by Luo Xiaoxi . He had promised her himself .
Su Yicheng suddenly felt restless, hung up the phone and drove out of the garage .
Soon, he arrived under Luo Xiaoxi's apartment . Beside the gate, there was indeed a rice noodle roll diner .
Usually, food from restaurants that were well-remembered by Luo Xiaoxi and Su Jianan were not bad in taste . As expected, the diner was almost full and people lined up at the register .

Su Yicheng could hardly take a step forward—he had not lined up for food in ages .
However, since he had promised Luo Xiaoxi, he summoned up the courage to stand at the end of the line . Soon, a few girls in the front spotted him and the customers in the diner also cast their eyes on him . He could only stay calm and looked at the line in the front .
"Hello, are you in a hurry?" Some daring girl was trying to chat him up . "You can line up in front of me if you are . "
He smiled politely . "No, thank you . I'm not . "
"You're welcome . " The girl stared at him more boldly and supported her chin with her hands like a cute girl who was playing coy . He smiled as a courtesy and looked away, but, he suddenly remembered Luo Xiaoxi .
The second time Luo Xiaoxi saw him, she said that she liked him, and if he did not accept her love, she would have to pursue him instead .
He took it only as a small girl's joke, but she had already taken it to the next level . The reason was . "You're pleasing to the eye, and my eyes enjoy watching you . "
Then, every time they met, Luo Xiaoxi would stare at him in a direct way, like her eyes were glued on him . Her beautiful eyes had the hint of a smile . He had never been afraid to look into others' eyes, but he only feared to look into Luo Xiaoxi's .
Such pure and strong love was seen in her eyes . Back then, Su Hongyuan was holding him down everywhere and he was facing with huge pressure . He had long warned himself not to be tangled up in love problems, so he chose to ignore Luo Xiaoxi's love and her eyes .
Looking at it now, he had never shirked in front of pressure, no matter how huge it was . However, before he consolidated his position in the business community, he really did not dare to face Luo Xiaoxi's eyes .
He did not want to ponder on the reason behind that .
"Hello, what can I get you?"
The cashier brought Su Yicheng back from the memory 10 years ago . He ordered two barbecued pork rice noodle rolls, two tea eggs, and a basket of soup dumplings .
"They'll be 45 yuan, thank you . "
Su Yicheng opened his wallet but discovered that he did not have any cash, so he had to ask if they accept card payment . The cashier shook his head smilingly . "I'm sorry . We don't accept cards here . "
He was feeling a headache and was thinking if he should get the assistant to pay for him . Suddenly, someone called him . "Boss Su . "
It was the company's deputy manager . He was just walking into the diner and still wore that shocked face . He did not hesitate to ask . "Do you have any cash?"

The deputy manager had long figured it out just now . He took out a 50-yuan bill from his wallet and handed it to the cashier . He was slightly surprised and asked Su Yicheng, "Boss Su, the breakfast . . . is for Ms . Luo, right?"
Su Yicheng's eyes were confused . The deputy manager hurriedly added, "I live downstairs from her . I often run into her and occasionally have meals with her . "
Su Yicheng knitted his brows—Why did Luo Xiaoxi have meals with everybody? Did she really not pick?
Soon, a waiter sent the packed breakfast . Su Yicheng thanked the deputy manager and left the restaurant .
Luo Xiaoxi lived in room 1603 . Just as he walked out of the elevator, he found the door wide open . His pulse quickened and hurriedly walked in . "Luo Xiaoxi!"
"I'm in a shower . " Luo Xiaoxi's voice sounded in the bathroom . "I'm done . "
After that, the bathroom door swooshed opened . Luo Xiaoxi walked out with a plain and beautiful face . She had been smiling, but unexpectedly, she found Su Yicheng's eyes a little gloomy .
She was confused . "What?"
"Let the door wide open in a shower?" Su Yicheng was scolding her, his face sunken . "Luo Xiaoxi, do you have any sense of safety?"
"I thought that I'd be taking a shower when you came, so I let the door open . Don't you hate waiting the most? I feared that you'd drop the breakfast and leave . " Luo Xiaoxi let down her hair and walked toward him . "But why are you mad? Are you worried about me?"
She grinned cheekily, while Su Yicheng was really upset . He tossed the breakfast bag in her hands . "I'm worried about your IQ . "
"You don't need to!" Luo Xiaoxi took breakfast and walked to the kitchen . When she was unpacking, she said, "I almost know the entire building . Nothing can go wrong . And, when Dad bought me an apartment here, he likes here because it's safe . "
After that, Luo Xiaoxi found Su Yicheng had also bought a basket of soup dumplings, and an extra barbecued pork rice noodle roll and tea egg .
She was curious . "Haven't you had breakfast either?"
Su Yicheng walked to her . "Thanks to you . "
"You promised to me to come . I wasn't pestering you . " Luo Xiaoxi split the bamboo chopsticks . "How can you blame me?"
"How can I blame her?"

If it were not for her, he would have been enjoying his morning tea on the green lawn .
However, Luo Xiaoxi was right . He had promised her .
Su Yicheng was destined not to have a smooth day today .
Luo Xiaoxi saw the anger between Su Yicheng's eyes and brows and wisely chose to lower her head to eat . Su Yicheng looked charming and gentle in usual days, however, when he got mad, she could not hold him . That was also the reason why the employees both hated and loved him .
After breakfast, it was just one quarter after eight . Luo Xiaoxi slipped into a pair of sneakers . "Let's go . "
Today, she compromised and put on a sports suit .
However, in the past, she believed in "looking fine every minute", so she would put on makeup and a dress every morning . Then, she would change into a sports suit in the company . Looking back, wasn't the drama yesterday due to her outfit?
Thus, she had better keep a low profile in the future . It was impossible for Su Yicheng to run into her every time . Even if he did, he would not necessarily bother to save her every time .
Before the car drove for a long time, Luo Xiaoxi found that Su Yicheng was not driving to Lu Enterprise Media . She asked him in doubt . "Where are you taking me to?" Anticipation was escaping from her tones .
Su Yicheng said coldly . "The hospital . "
In an instant, Luo Xiaoxi turned into a frosted eggplant . "I thought you'd take me somewhere and do something to me when my feet are injured . "
" . . . " Su Yicheng's brain chose to automatically ignore the sentence .
He naturally went to the hospital to change the dressings and clean the cuts for her . The process was not painful, and Su Yicheng did not accompany Luo Xiaoxi to the treatment room . Thus, the doctor smiled . "Ms . Luo, actually, Mr . Su really cares about you . "
Luo Xiaoxi smiled back and did not agree or disagree . She just commented in her heart . "He really cares about how to refuse and bad-mouth me, so I really hope he can do something else to me . "
"Yesterday when he deliberately got you mad, he was trying to distract you . " The doctor said, "Before we taking out the shards, you were so afraid . But think about it, did you notice it when we really pulled out the glasses?"
She really did not notice it when they did it . She nearly went mad at Su Yicheng's words and was caught up in a fight with him . When she realized it, the doctor was already cleaning her cuts .
However, it was purely coincidental, right? Su Yicheng really wanted to make fun of her, and the distraction was just a coincidental bonus .
She did not believe that Su Yicheng would care about her . He would only laugh at her IQ, her ability and question her everything .
After changing the dressings and wrapping up the cuts, Luo Xiaoxi hobbled out . Su Yicheng stood outside with a sullen face, nothing could be read on his face .
She had never seen Su Yicheng like this, but she could not figure out anything . Thus, she walked to him and patted him . "A penny for your thoughts? Let's go . "
Su Yicheng collected himself, drove Luo Xiaoxi away from the hospital and sent her to Lu Enterprise Media's gate .
"Thanks . "
Luo Xiaoxi unfastened the seat belt and was ready to get off, but Su Yicheng suddenly stopped her . "Xiaoxi . "
"What?" Luo Xiaoxi twisted around . "What is it?"
Su Yicheng seemed to think of something . He loosened his grip on the steering wheel and his voices returned to normal . "Nothing . Go ahead . "
"I'm going . "
Luo Xiaoxi closed the door for him and slowly walked into the company . Soon, some colleagues found about her feet . They warmly asked her about the injuries . She simply said she was accidentally cut by some shards of glasses last night . They helped her walk inside the building, and on the way, she received a lot of warm greetings .
She was easing going and people all liked her .
At some point, outside the building, Su Yicheng rolled down the window to watch her . When her figure disappeared out of sight, he fished out a cigarette and deftly lit it up . Just when the cigarette reached his lips, something Su Jianan said crossed his mind:
"Cigarettes take away many lives every year . Brother, for me, will you try to quit smoking to stay with me to the very end? I've seen so many people getting cancer from smoking and died . They left their loved ones and never had the chance to be with them anymore . In time, not only you will suffer, but people around you will also suffer . "
At that time, there was nobody except Su Jianan around him, but now . . .
Eventually, Su Yicheng still put the cigarette out and drove away .
