IACF [QT] Chapter 28.7

She glanced around the beach, seeing those who ordered her around, spoke ill of her, flattered her, and bullied the weak.

Were these people her targets?

Was she going to become one of them?

Of course not.

She looked at Su Yi carefully again.

This is it.

This is the brighter and better life she has always been thinking about.

Now that the other party said that she wanted to help her, Gu Xiao would never believe it. She thought that it was not really a return gift for a few cheap chocolates.

The only explanation could be that the other party was kind-hearted and couldn’t bear to see the old people bullying the newcomers.

Gu Xiao didn’t think that she had any advantages that were worth her special help.

Moreover, although she was very happy to get the other party’s attention, deep down in her heart, she didn’t want to accept the other party’s help.

She always felt that if she took such a shortcut, she would never be as good as the other party in the future.

So, she shook her head slowly, “Thank you, but the meal you invited me to have is already a help to me.”

Su Yi was a little surprised, but she didn’t insist.

After shooting for half a day in the afternoon, it was officially over.

Star Entertainment Company has always been very generous to its employees. For example, although this shoot could be completed in one day, the company booked a two-day star-rated hotel for more than a dozen employees, allowing them to take a break after work.

Perhaps because she had lived by the sea for more than ten years, Su Yi had always felt close to the sea. After dinner, she changed into loose clothes, put on her slippers, and ran to the beach.

The sand under her feet was fine and soft. Su Yi threw off her shoes and stepped on the sand barefoot again and again.

The rolling waves behind her covered all the footprints she had walked. When the seawater receded, the beach was empty and as smooth and tidy as it was at the beginning.

She turned around on the beach and looked into the depths of the waves.

The sunset had fallen below sea level. The blue sea water during the day was now turbulent and deep, as if it was like the starry sky, hiding eternal secrets.

The phone rang suddenly. She took it out and saw that it was Xiao Yan calling.

Since the two of them hadn’t seen each other for a few days, they basically didn’t talk on the phone. Not knowing what was going on at this moment, she looked at it and pressed the answer button.

“Have you finished work?” Xiao Yan asked on the other end. His tone was different from a normal greeting.

“It’s over.” Su Yi said and asked him: “Did you get off work?”

“I just left the company. Are you outside?”

“Yes.”

Su Yi turned the phone toward the sea and the waves, then took it back after a while, and said, “Did you hear that? I’m at the beach, and that’s the sound of the sea.”

Xiao Yan said: “I heard it. What are your plans after work? Han Lu asked about you a few days ago and wanted to meet you.”

Su Yi shrugged lightly, “I haven’t made any plans yet. Let’s wait and see.”

Xiao Yan seemed to be silent for a moment, but then he said, “Okay, see you later.”

“See you later.”

Su Yi put away the phone, looked at the sea for a long time, and exhaled slowly.

She started to walk back.

When she reached the hotel entrance, Gu Xiao happened to come in with a bag of snacks.

Seeing her, she smiled shyly, “I bought a lot of food from the supermarket. Do you want to see if there is anything you like?”

Su Yi walked over, looked into her bag, and asked, “Did they ask you to buy it?”

Gu Xiao shook her head and said, “I want to buy it myself.”

Su Yi looked at her in surprise. It was impossible for her to finish so many snacks by herself. It was obvious that she was going to buy them to share with others.

Gu Xiao saw her reaction and still smiled, but there was a bit of dryness in her smile.

She probably knew what Su Yi was thinking. Those people were obviously bullying her, but she still bought snacks for them. Su Yi probably couldn’t understand it.

But not everyone had the capital to do whatever they wanted and said no if they wanted to.

The proud children of heaven had the willfulness of the proud children of heaven.

Small people like them also had a way of survival of small people. Before they were not strong enough, it was obviously not feasible to confront others head-on.

Before, she had put her self-esteem too high and made it too obvious that she didn’t want to associate with those people. It seemed that if she didn’t do so, she would lose herself and fall into the same stream as them.

That self-deceiving persistence now seemed a bit funny.

It was clearly because she was not confident in her determination that she needed to remind herself from time to time in this way.
