Chapter 40 - She Must Be Crazy
As her big boss was teasing her cat, Song Xing Xing took the chance to move away to tidy up herself. She walked by the full-length mirror and looked at her reflection.
A loud gasp escaped her when Song Xing Xing saw the person in the mirror. She had not taken off her makeup before she went to sleep and now there was a smudge of mascara on her face. Her hair was messy and everywhere. This appearance…
"Ghost!"
Lu Xun heard the scream and quickly turned around. "Where is it?"
Song Xing Xing was startled and immediately knew that she had done something wrong. "No. No." She lowered her head and thought that her long hair might make her look more like a ghost. Then, she swiftly tidied her hair and cleared her throat. "It's me. I look like a ghost."
Lu Xin stared back at the woman in front of him and chuckled. "Where do you look like a ghost?"
He had a younger sister and his sister had seen her with her makeup-stained face. It was much scarier than Song Xing Xing's. This girl was too silly.
Song Xing Xing grew embarrassed when she was stared at for too long.
Why did she allow him to look at her makeup stain face for a long time? Was she crazy?
"At least with this appearance I think you look more like a homeless person."
The corner of her lips twitched and the good opinion towards him gradually faded away.
A homeless person?
Why doesn't she know that this person knew how to joke around?
"President Lu, you stay here for a while. Let me go and tidy up myself."
"You're unwell. Just go on in and rest." Lu Xun thought for a while and continued, "I will leave after Bei Yuan come back with your medicine and food. You… did you see that thing again?"
Song Xing Xing waved her hand. "No. It's in the morning. Of course, that thing did not dare to appear." A thought crossed her mind and she began to hesitate. "But…"
"But what?"
"Now that you ask me, I think just before you come, I had experienced sleep paralysis," Song Xing Xing said. She inched closer to him and whispered, "I had this feeling as if something heavy was pressing my chest. It was hard for me to breathe. You say... do you think I'm too tired or was it really that thing?"
Lu Xun took a step back and sized up the girl in front of him. He was still considering whether she was telling him the truth.
"President Lu, do you think I should go to a temple and get myself a checkup?"
Lu Xun let out a long sigh. "I already let Bei Yuan find someone to look at the studio. That person will come tomorrow. How about this… You stay home and come back after that person had look at the studio." Lu Xun said. "Anyway, you are still sick and needed enough rest."
Song Xing Xing narrowed her eyes and looked at her boss for a few seconds longer. Now that she got a close look at him, Song Xing Xing thought that her big boss was very good-looking.
Perhaps this was why there would always be rumors about Lu Xun and some celebrities and heiress. Although he was slightly older, he had good looks and money.
Her heart skipped a beat after staring at his face for a long time.
"President Lu, you… why are you so nice to me?"
Lu Xun was startled upon hearing the question, but the expression on his face did not change. "Didn't I say it earlier? You're my staff. Of course, I have to look after you. Moreover, your cousin, Song Yi had asked me to look after you."
Song Xing Xing lowered her head again. It seemed that she has been thinking too much.
Just because someone is being nice to you doesn't mean that he meant anything. Perhaps, Lu Xun is really a good boss who cared about his staff. It's better if she stopped thinking too much lest she would embarrass herself.
Song Xing Xing thought about those women who were rumored to be dating Lu Xun and sighed. Those women were pretty and sexy, but still, the man did not look at them. Why would she even thought that he would be interested in her?
She must be crazy...
"President Lu, you stay here for a while. I'll go and get change."
Lu Xun watched as she left the living area and sat down on the sofa. A deep crease appeared on the space between his brow as he recalled the words that Song Xing Xing had said to him.
He did not understand why he was being nice to Song Xing Xing as well.
However, ever since that day he had seen her pretending to be drunk, cried silently at the park, and pulled herself together a few minutes later, Lu Xun was unable to stop worrying about her. He thought that if he did not keep his eyes on her for a while, this girl would get herself into trouble.
He only viewed her as a little sister and not more than that.
Just as Song Xing Xing had come out of her bedroom with a clean face and fresh clothes, someone rang her doorbell. Before she could go and look at the person, Lu Xun had gone over to open the door.
For a while, Song Xing Xing was dumbfounded as she watched the person acting as if this was his house.
In a while, Special Assistant Bei Yuan entered the house with a few bags in his hand.
"President Lu, I bought the medicine and porridge for Miss Song," Bei Yuan spoke politely.
"Mmm…" Lu Xun nodded. "Go and put it on the table." He turned to Song Xing Xing and spoke again, "Miss Song, don't forget to eat something before you drink your medicine."
Song Xing Xing nodded obediently. "Oh."
"Assistant Bei Yuan, let's go. Miss Song will still need to rest." After he spoke those words, Lu Xun quickly walked over to the door.
Bei Yuan quickly placed the food and medicine on the table. "Miss Song, please get well soon." Then, he quickly jogged to catch up with his boss. Bei Yuan glanced at his boss as they walked into the elevator.
Suddenly, he had a feeling as if his boss's mood had changed slightly.. He peeked at his boss's calm face for a while and concluded that he was probably thinking too much.
