Long Time No See
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It seemed to have been a long time since Ruan Ying brought Shen Xi out to play with Murong Qiao and the others.
Then, Shen Xi returned to the days when she often stayed at home, drank Chinese medicine, exercised, and did checkups. It was comparable to the life of an old person.
However, it was inevitable that some people wouldnât be used to her absence for so long.
For example, Xiao Gu, who was at the front desk of Yan Xiuâs studio.
She had no interest in working every day, so after she found interest in chatting with Shen Xi every day, she wanted to share her fun with her at all times.
ââŠItâs been almost a month.â Xiao Gu swiped the calendar on her phone and pouted, unable to help but complain.
From time to time, she would look at the door. Almost every time there was the sound of someone entering, she would look over expectantly. Then, right on the heels of seeing that it was not the face she was looking forward to, she couldnât help but feel discouraged.
She had been holding it in for the past month and had no one to talk to every day. She could only face the cold bossâŠ
Speaking of the boss, Xiao Gu glanced at Yan Xiu, who was looking at his designs behind. She hesitated and realized that the other party seemed to have come out more frequently recently than before.
There were only the two of them in the shop. It was difficult for Xiao Gu not to notice this.
âWhy are you looking at me?â Yan Xiuâs expression didnât change as he continued flipping through the design works.
Yan Xiuâs attitude towards Xiao Gu was relatively ordinary.
Xiao Gu hurriedly perked up and shook her head. âNo, no.â
How could she dare to say that she was thinking about Shen Xi while looking at her boss?
As a bystander, Xiao Gu could see Shen Xiâs thoughts towards Yan Xiu very clearly.
âPut these clothes in the warehouse later. Leave the empty racks for the new products,â Yan Xiu instructed.
After saying that, he turned around and looked in the direction of his studio. However, after taking a few steps, he stopped in his tracks and turned in a new direction at the last minute, walking towards the bathroom in the shop.
Xiao Gu raised her eyebrows and didnât say anything. However, she had a plan in her heart.
However, the thoughts in her heart could only be vaguely brewed. From Yan Xiuâs perpetually cold and expressionless face, Xiao Gu didnât seem to be able to find any information she wanted.
In the past, Yan Xiu was always in the studio. He might stay for an entire day. He even needed Xiao Gu to take the initiative to remind him when to get off work.
But in the few days that Shen Xi was not hereâŠ
Xiao Guâs thoughts raced when she suddenly heard a soft sound at the door.
She instinctively looked up, but when she saw that it was not Shen Xi, even though she had long known that this would be the outcome, she couldnât hide the disappointment in her heart.
The takeaway she had ordered had arrived.
She ran to the door and took the food from the delivery manâs hand. Then, she couldnât help but sigh heavily.
However, Xiao Gu, who was immersed in her melancholy, didnât seem to notice that the door to the studio was slightly open.
In fact, it was not only Xiao Gu who was waiting for someone. When Yan Xiu was in the studio, he would occasionally look out as well.
The period when Shen Xi came to the design room previously was not ineffective.
It was said that a person could form a habit in seven days and develop it in 21 days.
Shen Xiâs existence was the same in Yan Xiuâs studio. Even though she had been absent for the past few days, when Yan Xiu occasionally sat down to design, he would suddenly feel the commotion outside.
However, the noise was not familiar. It was only made by the customers who came to the shop.
Seeing Xiao Gu bring the takeaway back, Yan Xiu closed the door very calmly and turned around to go back to work on his design drafts.
In the past, inspiration surged out like spring water, but at this moment, it didnât take care of Yan Xiu.
He sat back at his work table and stared at the design draft in his hand. Suddenly, he felt that nothing seemed right. For a moment, he frowned in frustration, not understanding what was wrong with him.
He tried to focus on the work in front of him, but his mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts at this moment. It just wouldnât listen to him.
It had been 26 days since Shen Xi last came.
Unlike Xiao Guâs vague concept, once Yan Xiu thought of it, he could list the exact time.
He didnât understand how he remembered such a thing, but when he thought of it, he couldnât help but prick up his ears to listen to the commotion outside.
It was not that Yan Xiu didnât know why Shen Xi came to the studio. Countless people had already visited this place previously with an ulterior motive, making Yan Xiu understand this principle.
Perhaps the other party was no different from those young ladies.
Thinking that Shen Xiâs enthusiasm might have only lasted a few more days than the others, Yan Xiu vaguely came to a conclusion in his heart, but what followed the conclusion was a sense of loss that puzzled him.
The weather was clearly still warm, and the air conditioner was not very cold, but Yan Xiu felt as if a part of his heart was empty. It was as if the wind was blowing, making him feel uncomfortable.
âuntil the soft doorbell rang.
After a long time, Shen Xi finally obtained another chance to go out from her mother, Su Rong, so she couldnât wait to rush to the design studio.
It was rare for her to lose her usual calm appearance. When she pushed open the design studio door, her footsteps were filled with an indescribable urgency.
She wanted to see him.
As Shen Xi thought about it, she pushed open the door and glanced around. As expected, she didnât see Yan Xiu.
Xiao Gu was buried in the front desk. This time, she was numb. She didnât look up when she heard the doorbell and only welcomed the guest mechanically.
âThe display area is on the left, and the rest area is on the right. Guests, please feel free to look around.â Xiao Guâs tone was calm.
Shen Xi walked over. âItâs me.â
This familiar voice sounded, and when it entered Xiao Guâs ears, it made her react for two seconds. Then, she finally raised her head and looked at Shen Xi, who was standing in front of the counter.
âYoung Miss Shenââ Xiao Guâs sleepy appearance immediately disappeared.
When she saw Shen Xi arrive, she perked up and skillfully poured a cup of tea for her. Then, she brought her to the place where the two of them often chatted.
Xiao Gu was overjoyed. âI havenât seen you in a long time!â
âItâs because of my health. Iâve been staying at home recently.â Shen Xi had always been unwilling to mention this matter.
She only said a few words before her gaze moved to Yan Xiuâs studio.
However, in the next moment, Shen Xiâs gaze met a pair of eyes in the crack of the door, making her unable to help but be stunned.
âYoung Miss Shen Xi?â Xiao Gu called her.
Shen Xi replied instinctively, but when she came back to her senses, she realized that the door of the studio was tightly closed, as if the scene just now was just her imagination.
Could it be that she had really missed him too much recently and was hallucinating?
It was rare for Shen Xi to suspect herself.
âIâm saying that I feel that Boss hasnât been in a good mood recently. He doesnât talk much to begin with, and itâs even worse these few daysââ
Xiao Gu knew why Shen Xi was here, so he told her, âYouâre most likely here today forâŠâ
âXiao Gu, help me get a piece of cloth. Number 4.7.â
Before she could finish speaking to Shen Xi, Yan Xiu, who had suddenly appeared at the entrance of the studio, spoke.
Xiao Gu hurriedly stood up. âIâll be right there!â
Since the boss had spoken, she naturally had to do it immediately.
âYan⊠Yan Xiu, long time no see.â When Shen Xi saw him, she stood up involuntarily and clasped her hands nervously.
Yan Xiu nodded. This time, he said a few more words.
âLong time no see..â
