As long as it doesn't rain, Nina will go downstairs for a walk after dinner every day. She walks from home to the park in the middle of the street, walks in the park twice, and then walks home slowly. It doesn't take long, about half an hour.
Carrying the small satchel on her back, putting on the hat, and closing the door, she slowly went downstairs, exited the unit door, turned right, then turned left and bypassed the building in front, and walked straight ahead, which was the entrance of the park. But when she left the unit today, she turned to the left, walked around the building she lived in, and walked faster and faster. The dim streetlights shone on her face, but she seemed a little nervous , his eyes kept squinting to both sides, his lips were tightly pursed, and his hands were tightly clutching his small satchel.
Suddenly, she frowned, but her pace was faster. She slowly reached into the small satchel and grabbed something inside. Because of her nervousness, a thin layer of sweat was already breaking out on her forehead. When she reached the second corner, she stopped there, waited for a while, then rushed out suddenly, holding the thing in her hand, and squirted fiercely at the man who was following behind.
These days, she has been feeling that someone is following her, and she turned around suddenly several times, but she didn't even see the shadow, thinking that she was thinking too much, causing hallucinations. But this feeling has never stopped since a certain day, and I was still uneasy, so I bought anti-wolf spray online and took it out every day, thinking that it is always good to be prepared.
But today's feeling is the most obvious. She almost heard the footsteps behind her, so she didn't follow the usual route, but went around to the back of the house, and then suddenly shot back. The man avoided it and covered his face. , a scream...
Nina was stunned. Why is this voice so familiar? It was backlit here, and by the light from the distant window, one could vaguely see that it was a tall man. For some reason, Nina's heart sank suddenly, and she ran forward without a word. The man behind heard the footsteps, rubbed his eyes, and chased after him. Knowing that she cannot escape, this time she must not be allowed to escape again.
Nina was familiar with the terrain, and shuttled around the labyrinth-like rooms, but she didn't get rid of the man behind, and the steady footsteps followed behind her. The interior was recessed a lot, she quickly dodged and hid inside, standing tightly against the door, the figure of the man chasing flashed past her, Nina stood still, listening with her ears up until the footsteps gradually faded away. After walking away, she walked out slowly holding her beating heart.
The moon was hiding in the clouds, and the planetesimals were as pale as shadows, and only one was found after careful inspection. The sky and the earth were dark, only the lighted windows of the buildings reflected a faint light.
Nina breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat off her forehead, and stretched out her hand to pull the clothes on her back. There was also a thin layer of sweat on her back, which was uncomfortable sticking to her body. She thought about going back to take a shower right away. Change your clothes, don't catch a cold. But when she turned around, the man stood quietly behind her, as if he had fallen from the sky, making her freeze in place and unable to move.
The man walked over slowly, with a nervous expression on his face, and he said, "Hi, Nina, long time no see!"
Nina slowly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile. After all, she was the secretary of the general manager. After only a moment, she could calmly face it: "Hey, Mr. Shao, what a coincidence..."
Shao Baiqing stopped one meter away from Nina, looked at her with fixed eyes, and said in a slightly shivering voice, "You know it's not a coincidence, didn't you spray me with spray just now?"
"Ah? That person was you just now?" Nina said in surprise, "I thought it was a bad person. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
"What are you spraying?" Shao Baiqing said, "My eyes still hurt, and I dare not open them too wide."
Nina walked over to look at his eyes, and they were indeed red. The man with blood red eyes standing in the dark was actually a bit scary. Nina suddenly became a little scared, took a step back, and only stepped out One foot, and then his hand was grabbed by Shao Baiqing: "You still want to run?"
"What are you running for?" Nina's voice was very calm, "What am I running for?" But her eyes were a little dodged, and she shook Shao Baiqing's hand: "Mr. Shao, why are you holding my hand?"
"Why did you run?" Shao Baiqing asked her in a deep voice.
"What did you say just now?" Nina said, "I thought you were a bad person. You were sprayed and you still chased me. What can I think of you?"
"I'm asking why you resigned from Gu's? Why did you move? Why did you show up here when you said you were leaving G City? Why did you change your phone number? Why didn't you contact me?"
Nina opened her mouth, and just about to speak, Shao Baiqing said again: "Don't say that you just want to change your life. The life you want to live is to live here, do nothing every day, and only come out for a walk after dinner? Nina, you Tell me, what the hell are you doing?"
"Mr. Shao, are you really following me?" Nina became a little annoyed: "I just said that I always feel that someone is following me, so it's you? What do you want to do?"
"Don't change the subject," Shao Baiqing pulled her closer, and said in a rough voice, "Answer my question first."
Nina staggered a little from being pulled by him, and almost bumped into Shao Baiqing's arms, and hurriedly stretched out her hands to support him, keeping a safe distance.
Nina didn't make a sound, just stared at him, Shao Baiqing didn't show any weakness, and stared back with a more vicious gaze. The general manager and the secretary of the general manager are not on the same level. The exchange of eyes, Nina gradually lost the wind, and her heart became more and more guilty, but she stuck her neck and said angrily: "Don't worry about it!"
"If I don't care, who cares?"
"Why do you care about me?"
"Because I'm your boss."
"You're wrong. It's the former boss. Now we're just a relationship between passerby A and passerby B," Nina sneered, "Please show some respect and let go of your hand. Let's go to the sky and walk halfway!"
The last sentence was said with a special momentum and fell to the ground with a sound. Shao Baiqing smiled instead of anger: "The road is facing the sky, and each side walks? Passerby A and Passerby B? Sure enough, people are walking for tea and want to break friendship with me completely, right? No wonder you want to If you changed your number and didn't even contact Zhou Ting, do you want to get rid of all of us? I didn't expect you to be such a ruthless woman!"
Nina also laughed: "Mr. Shao, the iron-clad camp and the flowing soldiers, joining the company and becoming colleagues is a kind of fate, but after leaving the company, they go their separate ways. Who cares about fate. People have their own lives, and if others don't want to be friends with you, do you still have to force it? Isn't a twisted melon sweet?"
Shao Baiqing stared at her deeply, "Nina, you have changed. Except for your sharp tongue, everything else has changed."
"You are wrong, Mr. Shao, this is the real me now," Nina suddenly smiled charmingly, "It used to be because I wanted to perfunctory you, wear the clothes you like, put on the makeup you like, and speak according to the rules. You like to talk, to be honest, I'm bored and don't want to pretend anymore, so I'm leaving."
"You lied." Shao Baiqing glared at her.
"I didn't lie to you." Nina stared back without showing weakness.
In the darkness, two pairs of emotional eyes were shining, and the sound of two breathing with different rhythms was clearly audible. The two of them stared at each other in the night wind like this. The moon came out from the clouds and sprinkled a faint light on the earth. Nina only felt Shao Baiqing's eyes narrowed for a moment, and then her whole body fell down...
Nina was dumbfounded, Shao Baiqing was actually kissing her, pinching the back of her head forcefully, perhaps because of too much force, the teeth of both of them collided, I don't know whose lip was broken, a bitter and sweet smell of blood lingered on both sides. It spread between the lips and teeth of a person. This strange smell made Nina wake up. She pushed Shao Baiqing away and slapped her hand. The crisp voice was especially loud in the silent night. Shao Baiqing stood there motionless with a dazed expression, like Nina It wasn't him at all.
"Shao Baiqing!" Nina yelled at him, "Are you crazy? Don't think that you can run amok if I don't work in Gu's? I'm not the kind of woman you imagined! You pervert, lunatic, rascal , Crazy, get out of here! Get out of here!" Nina became more and more excited as she scolded, her chest heaving violently.
On the opposite floor, someone poked his head out of the window and glanced at them. He probably thought it was insignificant, so he retracted his head and closed the window.
"I'm sorry, Nina," the man standing in the darkness finally spoke after a long while, his voice was bitter and astringent: "I probably lost my head and don't know what I'm doing. I'm sorry."
Nina panted for a long time, and slowly calmed down, her voice also softened: "You go, just pretend that what happened tonight didn't happen, and even if you encounter it in the future, you have to pretend that you don't know each other."
Shao Baiqing lowered his head halfway, with a very frustrated expression, "Why do you hate me so much? I always thought that after five years of being together, there should be friendship, right?"
"It used to be, but it's gone now." Nina said flatly, "You just lost my last good impression of you."
Shao Baiqing sighed, turned around slowly, but didn't move, stopped for a moment, then looked back at her: "You didn't resign because of me, did you?"
Nina didn't speak, just looked at him coldly.
Shao Baiqing paused for a moment, then said, "You resigned because you hated me, right?"
Nina smiled slightly, "It's rare for you to be able to reflect like this, it's considered an improvement."
"Really hate me? Was it just an act like that before?" Shao Baiqing asked unwillingly.
"It doesn't count," Nina said, "I actually hate myself. I hate that I have changed myself into something you don't like in order to cater to you."
"Why didn't you tell me if you didn't like it?"
"For that job," Nina's tone became a little more relaxed: "The secretary of the general manager, the salary and benefits are very good. It's a pity that Mao Ran lost it. I also struggled for a long time before making a decision."
"So that's how it is," Shao Baiqing nodded, "So you've been trying to make things right all this time, but I didn't even know about it."
"Now that I know, can you go?"
Shao Baiqing laughed at himself, "So I'm an annoying person, but I don't know it." Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
He had walked for a long time, but Nina was still standing there, the itchy air in the air seemed to be thinning, and she was struggling to breathe, and the buildings in all directions seemed to be pressing down on her, and there was a sense of despair that was imminent...
