Chapter 181: Didn’t you eat enough apples last night?
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xu Chi quickly looked away, "No, nothing."
His eyes lingered on Su Ziyu's gloved hands for a moment before Xu Chi answered Su Ziyu's question.
"I studied computer science at Q University."
Su Ziyu's eyes flashed with surprise, and then he said in a joking tone:
“Is the current live broadcast industry so competitive?”
Xu Chi was amused by Su Ziyu's words, and his expression relaxed.
"Which industry isn't rolling up now? They're almost rolling up like cabbages."
"Then why did you choose to be an anchor instead of looking for a job that matches your profession?"
Xu Chi's cheeks were slightly pink now, and he said embarrassedly,
"I used to have some social anxiety, but it was only after I became a live streamer that I gradually got better."
"I don't want to face complicated interpersonal relationships."
Su Ziyu nodded in understanding. In today's society, competition is very fierce no matter what industry it is.
In the workplace, there are many colleagues who tell tales and try to trip others up.
Of course, this doesn’t mean that everyone is like this, but if you encounter one or two weirdos, it will become particularly uncomfortable to work.
For the few dollars a month, it is not enough to work like a slave every day, but one also has to endure mental torture.
Just thinking about it makes me feel that the future is bleak.
When Su Ziyu first started working at a TV station in his previous life, he was also tripped up by his colleagues and had obscene rumors spread about him, so he could understand Xu Chi's idea.
"So you have social anxiety. No wonder I always see your ears red."
This time, Xu Chi blushed completely, and even his neck was stained with a large blush.
He couldn't help but retort in his heart that although he was socially anxious, he was really not shy.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have pretended to be a ghost and scared the naughty kids.
His ears turned red simply because he was shy in front of Su Ziyu.
However, Xu Chi could only think about these words in his heart and did not dare to say them out loud.
Su Ziyu didn't eat much at night, so he was really hungry now.
The two of them finished their pizza, and Su Ziyu's cup of milk tea was almost half gone.
She took a tissue and wiped her mouth, then picked up the small gift box containing the apples and said with a smile,
"Thank you for coming all the way here to send me apples. How long can you stay in Kyoto? I'll treat you to dinner someday."
"It should be more than half a month." Xu Chi was a little unsure.
"I'm here for some work, and I happened to come see you."
Xu Chi was a little hesitant to look Su Ziyu in the eye.
Xu Chi is particularly good at information security and is well-known in the circle. Companies often invite Xu Chi to build firewalls for their companies and write antivirus software.
Of course, there were also companies that offered Xu Chi high salaries to work for them, but he rejected them all.
Because Xu Chi has excellent skills and a very reliable reputation, many companies come to him for help.
However, Xu Chi is not short of money, so taking orders depends entirely on his mood.
The reason he took on this order this time was to give him an excuse to come to Kyoto and find another opportunity to meet Su Ziyu.
Su Ziyu nodded when he heard this. Instead of feeling unhappy, he felt a little relieved.
"Then where will you stay tonight?"
"I already booked a hotel before coming here. It's not too far from here."
It’s not far away, it only takes ten minutes to walk there.
The two chatted for a while, and Su Ziyu saw that it was almost ten o'clock, so he said,
"It's getting late, I'll go back to the dormitory first."
"When you are free, send me a message and I will treat you to a meal."
Xu Chi's eyebrows curved, and he was in a very happy mood, "Okay, I'll wait."
Su Ziyu opened the door and got out of the car. He bent down and waved at Xu Chi through the car window.
"Bye, you should go back and rest early too."
Xu Chi felt a little reluctant to leave. It felt like they had just met not long ago, but it was time to say goodbye again.
But these reluctances did not last long, as Su Ziyu's skirt was blown away by the wind.
Scattered snowflakes fell from the sky and landed on Su Ziyu's hair and clothes, which was heartbreaking at the sight.
Xu Chi opened the car door and got out, holding up an umbrella and walked towards Su Ziyu.
"It's cold outside. You should go back quickly. Be careful not to catch a cold if you wear so little."
Su Ziyu didn't bother to be polite with Xu Chi. After thanking him, he took the umbrella from Xu Chi's hand, walked backwards for a distance, waved to him, turned around and walked quickly into the school gate.
During this period, Xu Chi's gaze was always fixed on Su Ziyu. His eyes were filled with endless affection, so strong that it could not be ignored.
Even with his back to him, Su Ziyu could still feel the burning gaze.
She paused almost imperceptibly, then quickened her pace.
Xu Chi didn't look away until Su Ziyu was completely out of sight.
He sat back in the driver's seat, started the car, and the black Hongqi car disappeared from outside University B in the blink of an eye.
……
Just after the performance, Su Ziyu received a notification from the system, and the business-type simulation robot had been delivered to her system backpack. Once activated, it could be officially used.
At this moment, Su Ziyu was walking alone on the path in the campus, and he felt a little restless in his heart.
However, although it was almost ten o'clock, you could still occasionally see people on campus.
Besides, there are surveillance cameras everywhere now, and Su Ziyu really doesn't dare to do anything too out of line.
Therefore, Su Ziyu could only suppress the little spark of curiosity in his heart and walked towards the dormitory building holding the small gift box.
If she didn't have to check the dormitories at night, she would have gone straight back to Wanyuan Community.
When Su Ziyu returned to dormitory 306, Zou Mengmeng and the other three were already there.
"Why are you back so early? Didn't you say you were going to see a handsome guy?"
Su Ziyu put the apple on the table and asked curiously while taking off his coat.
Zou Mengmeng's eyes fell on the exquisite little gift box, then she raised her head and winked at Su Ziyu.
"Look, handsome guys are more important than sisters."
Both Riemann and Sun Wenqing laughed.
Li Man couldn't help but tease, "Didn't you say you were just going to the school gate to pick up takeout? Why does it take so long?"
Zou Mengmeng wrinkled her nose in indignation and began to criticize Su Ziyu, "It's a pity that we were worried that you would be too lonely in the dormitory, so we hurried back after playing for a while, and in the end, you were nowhere to be found in the dormitory."
Sun Wenqing's face also showed an expression of understanding, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. He asked directly, "Christmas Eve has passed, why did you bring back an apple?"
"Could it be that you haven't had enough apples from yesterday?"
Su Ziyu didn't take the teasing of the three people to heart at all. Knowing what they wanted to hear, Su Ziyu simply told them the truth.
"Isn't the pizza Xu Chi ordered not enough for the three of you? So Xu Chi and I finished the pizza outside before returning."
After saying this, Su Ziyu spread out his hands, revealing an innocent and simple expression.
