A difference

Tang Xiao froze for a moment before realizing that it was an elevator accident.He didn't know what was going on with him, but he suddenly lost control of his emotions and kicked the elevator hard.Unexpectedly, when he stepped down, the elevator shook violently again, and then quickly sank.

Tang Xiao was so shaken that he almost fell down.In the panic, someone held his hand in time, and then a low and steady voice rang in his ear: "Calm down."

Tang Xiao was stunned for a moment before recovering, and when he realized what he had done, he hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I... I... didn't mean it..." He didn't know why he suddenly lost control just now , when he realized that he had done such a stupid thing in front of Lu Xuan, he could not wait to find a hole in the ground and get in.Fortunately, the elevator didn't fall directly, it seemed to stop after dropping a few floors.

Lu Xuan let go of Tang Xiao's hand, took out her mobile phone to light up, and then rang the alarm bell.

Tang Xiao also came to his senses, and quickly took out his mobile phone to call for help, but when he took out the mobile phone to check, he found that there was no signal.

Lu Xuan also looked at the phone, but there was no signal either.He sighed softly, and said to Tang Xiao: "The property should arrange personnel to repair it soon, just wait."

Tang Xiao nodded guiltyly, but did not make a sound.He thought that his impulsive behavior just now must have made Lu Xuan's impression of him extremely bad.

Lu Xuan didn't think much about it. Seeing that Tang Xiao's expression was not very good and he was sullen, he asked, "Are you dizzy in the elevator?"

Tang Xiao shook his head: "No..."

Lu Xuan didn't quite believe what he said. Although the phone's light wasn't bright enough, he could still see Tang Xiao's pale face, but he didn't ask any further questions, he just said, "You shouldn't be so excited just now, that's very annoying." Accidents are prone to happen.”

Tang Xiao lowered his head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was just in a hurry..." I'm afraid Lu Xuan wouldn't understand his mood at the moment.I just heard the bad news of my mother's death, and I was in a hurry to go home to see my mother for the last time, but the damn elevator just broke down at this time... Is everyone going crazy?

"I'm not blaming you..." Lu Xuan stopped suddenly as he spoke, and with the light of the phone screen, he saw Tang Xiao's distraught face. Covered in a cloud of fog, it seems that tears will fall in the blink of an eye.Lu Xuan was startled, couldn't help but soften her voice, and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

Tang Xiao didn't expect that Lu Xuan would be so gentle to him. He turned his head to meet Lu Xuan's concerned eyes, and a desire to confide in his heart.He was silent for a long while before he said with difficulty: "I just answered a phone call. My mother... my father told me on the phone that my mother passed away in a car accident."

Lu Xuan was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly lost his voice. After a while, he said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you just now... I shouldn't have said you..."

Tang Xiao shook his head and said he didn't mind.

Lu Xuan looked at his sad face, wanted to comfort him, but didn't know what to say, so she just said, "Don't be sad..." After he finished speaking, he felt that he had slipped his words. How could he not be sad under such circumstances?He was silent for a while, then suddenly said: "My mother is also gone, she passed away when I was young."

Tang Xiao froze for a moment, then turned to look at him in a daze.

Lu Xuan twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a wry smile: "I don't even remember what she looks like. My dad said she is not a good woman, but I think if she is still here, she must be a good mother..."

Tang Xiao was startled, nodded and agreed, "It must be."

Lu Xuan smiled slightly and said, "So don't be sad, you are much happier than me."

Looking at his gentle smile, Tang Xiao couldn't help feeling a little sad for him.Realizing that he said these words to comfort himself, he was very moved, couldn't help but smiled slightly, and said, "Thank you."

Lu Xuan smiled and said, "It can be seen that you love your mother very much."

Tang Xiao nodded and sighed, "She is the best person in this world to me..."

His mother is gone, and there is no second person in this world who loves him and cares about him like this.

He remembered that in the phone call early this morning, his mother still said, "Come back and see us when you have time. Your father is still angry with you on the surface, but he has figured it out a long time ago. He will be very happy when you come back. I haven't seen you for a few years." I've seen you..." She sighed as she spoke, and then said, "If you have a partner, bring it back and show it to us. If you don't recognize your father, you should recognize me as a mother..."

Thinking of this, Tang Xiao couldn't help feeling his throat ache.In the past few years, he had a lot of time to go home and spend time with them, but because he was angry with his father, he was really determined not to go home for a few years...

Strong remorse surged in his chest, and Tang Xiao couldn't help sobbing softly.

Lu Xuan looked at Tang Xiao who suddenly burst into tears, feeling a little at a loss.He said those words originally to let Tang Xiao relax, but he didn't expect him to be so sad.He had no mother since he was a child, and he was not close to his father. Although he could understand the concern and affection between parents and children, he couldn't empathize with him.

He looked at the sad Tang Xiao, and felt a little throbbing in his heart, a little envious.

Tang Xiao didn't cry for a long time. When he realized that he had lost his composure, he immediately raised his hand to wipe away the tears in his eyes. When he looked up and saw Lu Xuan staring at him blankly, he was a little embarrassed and had to explain stiffly: " Don't get me wrong, I don't usually cry..."

Lu Xuan smiled slightly: "You don't need to explain, I understand your mood."

"Thank you." Tang Xiao really didn't know what to say other than thank you.He was very lucky to meet Lu Xuan when he was most lost and helpless.Although Lu Xuan's tenderness and consideration were not enough to heal the pain of losing his closest relative, it saved him from despair.

Lu Xuan smiled, suddenly remembered something, and said suddenly: "Speaking of which, I don't know your name yet."

"Tang Xiao, I'm from the Finance Department."

Lu Xuan thought for a while, then suddenly laughed: "I have the impression that we met at the reception at the end of last year." He smiled a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, I didn't remember it just now."

Tang Xiao didn't expect that Lu Xuan could still remember the first time they met. He stared at Lu Xuan with wide eyes, and said with some surprise, "President Lu has a really good memory."

Lu Xuan smiled: "We are now friends who share weal and woe, so don't call me Boss Lu, call me by my name."

Tang Xiao froze for a moment, and was about to speak when the elevator suddenly shook again.

In a crisis, Lu Xuan subconsciously held Tang Xiao's hand again.Tang Xiao was a little nervous at first, but after being held by him like this, he immediately relaxed.

But this time the elevator did not fall any further, but went down at a normal speed.

Lu Xuan glanced at Tang Xiao, then smiled slightly: "The elevator seems to be repaired."

The two of them got out of the elevator, and there were several people standing at the door of the elevator, besides the building management and maintenance personnel, and Lu Xuan's secretary Wu Jing.Tang Xiao had met Wu Jing before. She was beautiful, generous, and capable of handling affairs. She was highly valued by Lu Xuan. The female colleagues in the company were secretly speculating about her relationship with Lu Xuan.

Seeing Lu Xuan coming out, Wu Jing immediately came up to meet her, and asked with concern, "Lu Xuan, are you okay?" She glanced at Tang Xiao beside Lu Xuan, and joked, "I thought you were alone Trapped inside, there is still a companion."

Lu Xuan glared at her: "Your boss almost died, are you still in the mood to joke?"

Wu Jing smiled: "Aren't you all right?"

Tang Xiao was startled, and it took him a while to realize that she was joking with Lu Xuan, and the corner of his mouth twitched.He didn't interact with these two people normally, but he had heard a lot about them, but he really didn't expect their way of getting along to be like this.Thinking of this, he thought of his female colleagues' speculation about the relationship between the two of them, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.But he didn't have time to think too much, he was still in a hurry to go home, so he didn't care what the two said, but said to Lu Xuan: "Boss Lu, I have something else to do, so I'm leaving first."

Knowing that he was in a hurry, Lu Xuan didn't say much, she nodded and said goodbye, then turned her eyes to Tang Xiao and walked away.

Wu Jing laughed jokingly at the side and said, "Did you fall in love with him?"

Lu Xuan retracted her gaze and looked at her helplessly: "Sister, do you really hope that the whole company knows my sexual orientation?"

Wu Jing knew his limit, so she didn't continue this topic, but got down to business: "Your meeting with Mr. Lin in the morning has passed, and I have already called him to explain, because I don't know how your situation is. , so I didn't make another appointment with him, should we make an appointment until the evening?"

Lu Xuan thought for a while and said, "No appointment for now..." He paused, then suddenly put the information in Wu Jing's hand, and said, "Cancel all my activities for the past two days, I'll come back See you later."

Wu Jing was taken aback: "Where are you going?"

"I'll tell you when I get back." After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.
