Chapter 1: Seeing Deer in the Deep Forest Yu Nansheng02
The sun was shining brightly outside, and a few white clouds were floating in the blue sky, forming a sharp contrast with the chaos in the room.
With uneasiness in my heart, I moved into Shen Yuxi's office as his apprentice and began my challenging internship life.
Another intern, Qi Qi, told me that since Shen Yuxi came to the newspaper, no one except me could stay in his office for an hour. He rarely talked to others and rarely went out except for necessary diplomatic activities.
"Nan Sheng, reporter Shen just walked out of the conference room with a bad look on his face. What happened?" During lunch time, Qi Qi came up to me in a familiar manner and asked curiously.
I looked back at the transparent glass window of the office, which was filled with mist. It was the first time I realized how good my eyesight was. I could see Shen Yuxi's restrained brows clearly even through so many tables and chairs.
I blinked, smiled, and jokingly said, "Maybe you have a beautiful intern. You must be depressed, right?"
Qi Qi looked at me as if I were an idiot.
"Ms. Yu." Shen Yuxi's voice came from the office.
I sighed resignedly and trotted over.
"Make me a cup of coffee, please."
I stepped out of Shen Yuxi's office and heard the sound of a lighter . After a few seconds of pausing, I looked inside from the edge of the glass window.
Watching from this angle, it seemed that the sunlight was not as dazzling as when he glanced to the side. I memorized the outline of his finger bones when he was holding the cigarette.
Qi Qi suddenly came over, looked back, and seeing no one was around, she whispered to me, "Reporter Shen is notoriously difficult to serve, you'll suffer in the future."
I was distracted for a moment, thinking of his profile surrounded by smoke, and the back of my hand was accidentally scalded by hot water and soon turned red.
The aroma of coffee brought me back to my senses. I didn't refute Qi Qi and threw the coffee bag into the trash can: "A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Only by standing on the commanding heights can you appear unfathomable!"
That's all.
If you think about it carefully, I am not afraid of death at all if I dare to say that my direct superior is not afraid of death at all.
“Boom boom boom!”
"Come in." Shen Yuxi looked at the carpet and said as I stepped into the door, "Instant? Cook it again."
I looked at the coffee in my hand and then at his delicate features.
That’s right, how can such cheap coffee be worthy of my senior?
I don’t know if it was because Qi Qi didn’t understand what I said, but she looked at me with unfathomable eyes the whole afternoon, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes, which made my heart beat wildly.
"What's wrong with you?" I finally couldn't help but ask her after I walked out of the office and went upstairs to deliver the proofreading manuscript.
Qi Qi said: "You know what? Reporter Shen is always very domineering. Usually, when this happens, people from all offices come up spontaneously after just one phone call. It doesn't take more than three minutes. Just now, I went upstairs and heard people from the accounting office say that they haven't seen Reporter Shen come out all day today. He's so crazy that he can't even be a fangirl!"
At this time, Qi Qi was like a girl who had read too many novels, but to me it meant something else.
"You mean I don't have to do these things?" I couldn't help but raise my voice.
Suddenly, more and more eyes were looking at me. I scratched my head embarrassedly and pulled Qi Qi to hide behind the door.
After getting the definite answer, I was silent for a long time, so much so that I didn't feel energetic when I got off work.
"It's time to get off work, why don't you leave?"
I raised my head slightly to glance at Shen Yuxi, and said with some compassion: "I have decided that work is where I belong. Reporter Shen, you go first, don't worry about me, I want to recall your outstanding deeds here."
Shen Yuxi was speechless and didn't say anything.
"Ms. Yu, come to the office..."
"Yu Nansheng, take this to reporter Xie."
"Yu Nansheng, make me a cup of coffee, thank you."
"Miss Yu, you..."
Before Shen Yuxi could finish her words, I put the pile of documents I had just brought in on the table and said breathlessly, "Senior, I thought I was here to be a reporter , not a handyman!"
He smiled and said nothing.
It was a bit cold, but I was sweating, and my black and white checkered shirt was covered with dust. I raised my hand to wipe the sweat off my face, staring at him with angry eyes.
"It's still early." He dismissed me with two words.
These past two days, Shen Yuxi never took me with her when she went out. Instead, another intern reporter went out more often. Qi Qi looked at me as if I were a concubine who had fallen out of favor. It was so pitiful.
Han Shao saw that I was running up and down so pitifully, so he pointed out a clear way.
"I'm telling you, Xiao Nansheng, just follow Yu Xi closely. Wherever he goes, you go. When he goes to the bathroom, you wait at the door! When he goes out, you immediately run after him with your camera. He can't avoid you and will definitely make the news with you!"
Yes, that's a very good idea.
In the next few days, I started to follow him around. I came to the newspaper office early every day, and the first time I saw Shen Yuxi, I never left his side. Even when I went to the bathroom, I had to tell Qi Qi to keep an eye on reporter Shen and not let him run away, like an undercover agent watching a criminal.
He was apparently so busy a few days ago that he was nowhere to be seen, but starting from the past two days he has been sitting in the office every day. I can count the number of times he went to the toilet on one hand.
"What do you want to say? Reporter Shen has kidney deficiency?" Qi Qi asked.
I spit out a mouthful of water, feeling a little embarrassed. Shen Yuxi's office door was open, and when he heard the sound, he looked in my direction. I hid at the door of the tea and glared at Qi Qi fiercely.
"I was wondering, why is it so quiet lately? Why doesn't reporter Shen have any news to report?"
"How should I know?"
…
I still remember that two days ago, reporter Shen seemed to have stayed up late to follow a news story and came to the newspaper office early. And I have always been the first to arrive since the second day of work. I finished reading the report he annotated yesterday, opened my notebook and wrote it down carefully. He walked over from outside and glanced at me, with a gleam in his eyes.
