The passage of time seems to always be inadvertently and silently.
It has been a month since Xue Xue last met Wei Chinian.
There was no news from the man. During the period, she only received a text message, which read: "Everything is fine, pay attention to safety, don't read."
Although he was concerned, Xue Xue knew that what he had to do was to live a normal life.
So she put most of her energy into work.
In the middle of the month, her personal turnover reached the target ahead of schedule, and by the end of the month, she even doubled her sales.
The performance king of their counter once again reached the top of the floor after more than a year. Chen Yirong laughed so hard that she even invited Xue Xue to go out to dinner on a day off.
"sure."
"You should work hard in your career in this great year!"
"It seems that I really made the right decision to report you. It's also very discerning, hahaha."
Looking at Chen Yirong, who was gesturing excitedly, Xue Xue said helplessly, "Sister Chen, you are drunk."
"How can I be drunk! I used to be able to pour a thousand cups, hiccup!" Chen Yirong laughed twice. "At that time, no man in the whole table could fight against me, except my husband... Barely... um... "
As he spoke, his voice dropped.
When Xue Xue was thinking about whether she had to find a way to send people home, Chen Yirong's cell phone rang on the table.
She glanced at the note above and picked it up decisively.
"Hello? Hello, I'm Sister Chen's colleague. Yes, she's a little drunk, so I might ask you to come pick me up." After Xue Xue reported the store name to Chen Yirong's husband, the other party said that starting from home now, it will cost about twenty minutes to arrive. "Well, okay, no, you're welcome, okay, goodbye."
After hanging up the phone, Xue Xue began to deal with the alcoholic who didn't know he was drunk.
Chen Yirong took off her glasses and took Xue Xue's hand to chat, which was different from her usual serious and somewhat friendly look at work.
Xue Xue patiently listened to the other party's stories about the chaotic timelines, while handing her a tissue.
Chen Yirong's husband came very timely.
He was a gentle-faced, well-built man with a shy smile.
"Sorry to trouble you."
Xue Xue shook his head.
"This is the first time I've seen Sister Chen drunk. Before we had dinner together, she only drank juice." Xue Xue helped Chen Yirong up. "It's hard to imagine how Sister Chen couldn't pour a thousand cups before, haha."
"Hey, she told you that she won't pour a thousand cups?"
"Um."
"Haha, that was once. At that time, everyone said she was a hero among women and could drink a table of men, except me..." The man paused. "However, she seldom drank it after that, especially after she was born violently, her physique seemed to have changed a bit. Those with a higher alcohol content basically couldn't last three cups."
Mengmeng is Chen Yirong's youngest son.
"I see."
"Actually, I originally wanted her to resign, so don't work so hard."
After walking out of the store, the man suddenly said this.
Xue Xue paused and looked at each other.
"But she told me that doing a job she likes makes her life more meaningful and hopeful, even if she is tired."
"When she said these words, there was light in her eyes, and it reminded me of the reason why I fell in love with her at that time, because Yi Rong had the drive to not lose to men at work."
"Even after getting married, she chose to take a back seat because of my children, but the momentum has not disappeared."
"This kind of Chen Yirong is the Chen Yirong I like."
"I almost forgot, but fortunately, she was willing to tell me what she had to say, otherwise, I wouldn't even know that I almost made a mistake."
Maybe the man didn't realize that he, who said these words, also had light in his eyes.
Just like Xue Xia and Wei Chinian seven years ago, when they mentioned the future.
Time will really change many people and many things, but there are also many people and many things that will not change.
For example, Wei Chinian was soft-hearted and unable to refuse Xue Xia, and it was like Xue Xia's persistence in searching for several years.
Xue Xue raised his head.
In the late autumn and early winter, the golden wind is rustling, and the stars are scattered like chess pieces on the endless night.
Her cheeks were slightly hot, and her brain was a little dizzy. Although this body was not bad at drinking, it was probably because of emotional ups and downs.
So after she returned to the community, she sat alone in the small park downstairs for a while, and then slowly got up after she felt that the heat that made her whole body had passed.
At this time, people's vigilance will always be lower.
Xue Xue didn't notice that since she put Chen Yirong in the car, returned to the snack bar to settle the account and walked out alone, someone has been following her.
She lives on the twelfth floor.
The elevator rose slowly.
The eyelids suddenly jumped violently, but Xue Xue didn't think much about it.
I was already a little sleepy, and under the stimulation of alcohol, the operation of the brain naturally became sluggish.
A traditional apartment with a corridor divided into left and right sides, with three households on each side.
Xue Xue's house is the last room on the right hand side of the elevator.
There was a man standing there.
