"How has he been doing these past few years?"
Du Hui looked at her with some emotion, "Second Master, what's wrong with your life? You eat well and sleep well every day."
"That's right." Song Zhixing felt that his question was a bit unnecessary.
"When his mother passed away, he was depressed for a few months. But he got better later."
Song Zhixing nodded, "That's good."
Her departure and their breakup did not cause any disturbance in his life. Song Zhixing could not tell what he felt in his heart. He felt a little lost, but also felt that such loss was ridiculous.
"But you..." Du Hui looked at her, then glanced at the bread in her arms, "How about you? How are you doing?"
I used to be taken care of and taken care of by others. When did I ever go out to work or eat bread to fill my stomach? If it were the past, I would be heartbroken.
"I'm doing fine too." Song Zhixing raised his lips and smiled, his smile bright, "I have good academic performance, my major is the best in the department, and I have rich work experience. I can support myself. I don't have to worry about starving to death in the future."
She said it very lightly, but Du Hui felt a little bit reluctant when he saw it.
Over the years, he has watched her grow up. He has watched her grow from a little baby to what she is now. Song Zhixing now looks calmer and more mature than before. Compared to the past, she is no longer the carefree child who seems to know nothing. She has begun to worry about her livelihood and run around for money. This was something she could never have imagined before.
"You didn't have dinner? I'll take you to eat something." Du Hui wanted to take the bread from her arms.
Song Zhixing was one step faster than him and stopped his hand. "It's okay. I just eat bread with milk at night. It's fine. Besides, this bread is delicious. Do you want to try it?"
She generously handed him one of the breads. Du Hui couldn't bear to take hers, so he just waved his hand and said, "I won't eat it. You can keep it."
Song Zhixing smiled and said, "Then I'll go up first."
Du Hui nodded. She took two steps, then remembered something and turned back, "When... are you leaving?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, I'll take the flight back tomorrow night."
"...Oh." Song Zhixing smiled and said nothing more. He walked into the elevator holding the bread.
I'm leaving tomorrow.
Will the next time we meet be another three years later
——
Song Zhixing was standing in the elevator and had the urge to go all the way to the top floor. Just to see him, even if it was just one last look at him! However, this urge was eventually suppressed.
On the 18th floor, the elevator opened and she walked out.
She didn't sleep much the whole night. When it was almost dawn, she finally fell asleep, but she kept dreaming. The contents of her dreams were very messy, but he was always there.
When I woke up, I looked at the empty room and felt a little lost as to where I was. Thinking back to last night, I felt even more lonely.
In the room, the phone rang.
She yawned and took it instinctively. The gentle voice of the front desk came, "Hello, guest, it's breakfast time. Please go to the 58th floor for dinner."
Song Zhixing secretly sighed that the hotel's service was very good. She said thank you and hung up the phone. The 58th floor was the top floor. Song Zhixing suddenly became energetic and got up from the bed at once.
She went to the bathroom to wash up and combed her hair carefully. Last night was terrible! She used cheap cosmetics, so the rain smudged her makeup. Her eyeliner was all over her face, and she could have starred in a horror movie. But she sat next to Tang Yu for more than half an hour in such a messy state. Thinking about it now, she felt regretful. I'm afraid Tang Yu was very glad that he was not so blind as to be with her!
After Song Zhixing had dressed himself up, he looked at himself in the mirror again and again before he put on his schoolbag, took his room card and went up to the top floor.
It's only a little after 7 o'clock. He will definitely come to the rooftop for breakfast, right
In the restaurant on the top floor, Song Zhixing chose a seat closest to the door and sat down. She only picked a few snacks and ate them absent-mindedly. She kept looking at the door.
But…
From 7 o'clock to 8 o'clock and 9 o'clock, the familiar figure never appeared.
Her neck was stretched out like a giraffe.
"Miss, I'm sorry, our breakfast will end at 10 o'clock." The waiter stepped forward and politely reminded her. She came back to her senses and looked at her watch, only to find that it was already 9:55.
The restaurant was almost empty, with only a few people left.
He did not show up.
"Sorry, I'll leave right away." Disappointed, extremely disappointed, she stood up, picked up her bag and walked out. After walking a few dozen meters, she still turned back without giving up. In the restaurant, the twos and threes of people left, and the restaurant door slowly closed.
She let out a deep breath and went downstairs.
I went to the lobby and handed in my room card. I couldn't help but ask the front desk: "Hello, I want to ask, has Mr. Tang Yutang left?"
"Mr. Tang has just checked out. He has told you that you can leave as long as you hand in your room card."
"Oh... Thank you." Song Zhixing thanked him softly, and gave up completely. This was the last time, and she would not be able to see him again...
She walked out of the hotel with her schoolbag. After a night of drizzle, the weather had cleared up. Looking at the blue sky, she still felt unhappy.
———
Song Zhixing returned to school. During this period, the only thing he could do, besides working part-time, was to take some interior design jobs online.
She still lives in school.
She was frightened by what her senior and Chen Cheng said, so she was not afraid at night. Fortunately, the school suddenly strengthened security during this summer vacation, and there would be security guards patrolling back and forth in her building every night. It was probably because of the accident at the school next door.
The resume she sent to Tang Corporation fell on deaf ears. She didn't even get a chance to interview. Finally, she sent her resume to Huanyu in Lingfeng City.
Universal Company did not recruit interns, only professional designers, so she was completely trying her luck. Unexpectedly, not only did they accept her resume, but she was also interviewed in person by Mr. Wang from Universal, and she was successful in one fell swoop.
In the second half of the summer vacation, she did not work part-time anymore, but went straight to work at Huanyu. However, as the school term was approaching, she still needed some tuition fees, so she had to ask the Finance Department for an advance on her first month's salary. As a result, the Finance Department directly asked her to go to Mr. Wang.
Before entering the office, she was particularly nervous. Normally, it was not the CEO's turn to make the decision on this matter.
"I heard that you want an advance on your first month's salary. Actually, we don't have such a precedent, but I know you have difficulties in life. The prerequisite is that you have to go on a business trip with me this month." Mr. Wang put forward the conditions.
"On business trip?"
"Yes, to Judea."
