There is a kind of love mode called - cover one's ears and steal one's bell.
He Yu and Xing Yun are in this state. They have been dating for more than half a month. On the surface, they seem to be in a stable relationship. In fact, they just pretend to be deaf and dumb because of their tacit understanding, and try their best to continue this relationship.
In a sense, Xing Yun has indeed worked very hard. Although she is not very good at dating as she said before, she is still desperately playing the role of "girlfriend". Every morning, like a conscientious weather forecaster, she would send greetings on WeChat, reminding him of the temperature of the day, telling him to remember to eat breakfast, and to pick him up at night to have dinner together after get off work, even if he worked overtime...
He Yu, who had just finished the meeting, stopped not far from his seat, staring blankly at Xing Yun who was lying on his desk.
She looked like she was asleep, she must have been waiting for him for a long time, right
The colleagues who followed behind him instantly understood the reason for his stop, and all began to joke...
"Ouch, Manager He, your Xing Yun is here to bring you supper again?"
"Working overtime is already very hard, but you two still want to abuse the dog, is it humane!"
"In a sense, dog food can be regarded as supper..."
...
…
Well, here she is again...
This week, their team was working on a project, and they thought they would not have many chances to meet her, but after he casually said "I really want to see you" on WeChat, she would come to him every night with a snack.
At first, he was indeed moved, but gradually... this feeling of excessive force made him breathless...
"Stop making trouble." He turned his eyes and glared at the booing colleagues with some irritability.
Everyone thought that he was afraid of waking Xing Yun up, so their banter continued, but they kept their voices down.
He Yu ignored them and walked up to Xing Yun.
Her sleeping posture is really not good-looking, the chair has drawn a distance, so that she has to bend her body into a very difficult shape to continue lying on the table, with a book under the arm resting on her cheek, It's a book about constellations, and the opened page is - Taurus.
He trembled suddenly, and there were harsh discussions from his colleagues beside him...
"It turns out that Miss Xing Yun is a Taurus. This constellation is said to be difficult to deal with."
"No, no, I just heard her say that she is a Capricorn a few days ago."
"Then why does she want to look at Taurus? Oh, mom, she watched it so seriously, and even used a highlighter to draw the key points..."
"Do you still need to ask? Manager He must be a Taurus. I usually look up my boyfriend's horoscope when I read this kind of horoscope book."
"Huh? Manager He, are you a Taurus?"
He Yu came back to his senses, and squinted at the colleague who asked the question angrily, "Is there any problem?"
"How do I remember that your birthday is in November?"
"You remember wrong." He replied without thinking.
"Impossible, I bought you a birthday present when I traveled abroad during the National Day holiday last year..."
"Are you annoying! I said Taurus is Taurus, why are you talking so much nonsense!" He Yu yelled out of control and cut off the other party's voice.
In an instant, the atmosphere became depressing...
Fortunately, the roar woke up Xing Yun, she raised her eyes sleepily, and after a while, she smiled and broke the silence, "Are you finished the meeting?"
"Yeah." He closed the horoscope book forcefully, "Let's go."
"Where are you going?" She blinked blankly.
He Yu thought for a while, "The small conference room is ready."
"...??" What are you doing there? He still has a meeting? It doesn't look like much. There's no need to bring her with you to the meeting, right
"Didn't you bring a late-night snack? Go eat there..." He glared at the colleagues who were still around, and said pointedly: "Don't affect their work."
This hint was already obvious, and the onlookers dispersed in a timely manner.
"But I brought a lot, and I want to say that everyone eats together..." I always feel that he seems a little strange today
I heard that some people would be reluctant to share the things brought by their girlfriends with others, but she thinks that He Yu is not this kind of person. On the contrary, when she brought snacks before, he always greeted his colleagues with a sense of humor eat.
He Yu's explanation for this is—
"They are very busy today and have no time to eat."
This explanation is really not convincing, Xing Yun frowned, and asked reflexively: "Are you busy too?"
"..."
"If you're busy, it doesn't matter if I go back first, you don't have to accompany me..."
"Then you go back first."
These words stunned those colleagues who pretended to be busy but were actually listening attentively. In contrast, Xing Yun didn't feel that there was anything wrong, so he quickly stood up from his chair, apologizing for the interruption while hurriedly to pack up things.
Seeing this, a girl who is not far away and who is fairly familiar with Xing Yun came up, and quickly grabbed Xing Yun, "Hey, don't...don't, don't go, it's all here..." She looked at He Yu, very excited He tactfully paved the steps for him, "Manager He, don't you have a little hypoglycemia? You can't be hungry. Let's go to supper first, it's not too late."
Although I don't know why Manager He of their family had a cramp and said that kind of thing suddenly, but her intuition told her that if Xing Yun really left, they would definitely not have a good time in the future, and Manager He would definitely vent their anger on them. !
"Do you have hypoglycemia?" Xing Yun asked worriedly.
"..." He glared at the female colleague fiercely, this round of rounds really sucks!
From then on, he not only had to pretend to ignore Xing Yun's reluctance, but also pretended to be hypoglycemic, right? !
=========================
Pretending to love someone is hard, pretending to be loved by someone is even harder...
He Yu has a deep understanding of this point recently.
If he remembers correctly, Xia Ke is a Taurus.
What he wants to escape is not only this matter, but also those suppers brought by Xing Yun...
Just as he expected, the food in front of him is still famous for its spicy food, such as spicy hot pot, maocai, skewers... Xia Ke likes everything spicy...
"What's the matter?" Xing Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried when he saw him standing there suddenly.
He Yu came back to his senses and looked at her. After a long time, as if he had made up his mind, he took a deep breath and asked, "Did I tell you that I don't eat spicy food?"
"You said it..." In the middle of speaking, she suddenly stopped, looking at the supper table in front of her dully.
He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I remember you can't eat spicy food very much."
"...I'll go buy you some other things." She stood up suddenly, and rushed out the door as if evading.
"No need." He Yu stretched out his hand and grabbed her, "After eating for so many days, I'm somewhat used to it."
"But… "
"Sit down." He forced Xing Yun to sit on the chair, "I'll go get a glass of water." Her taste today was stronger than the previous two days, and he was afraid that she would not be able to bear it without water.
"..." She sat there in a daze, wanting him not to push herself so hard, but felt that she was not qualified to say such things.
Isn't his reluctance caused by her
It's just a habit and doesn't mean anything... This kind of rhetoric is nothing more than self-deception. Her father can quit smoking for decades. What habit can't be quit? The problem is, she never faced up to these habits at all, let alone thought about quitting them!
She tried hard to convince herself that the current life is what she wants, and she has more time to take on private work, which is not demanding and expensive, and she can sleep until she wakes up naturally every day; she has a stable relationship, eats together, Watch a movie, go on a date.
How wonderful, isn't this the life of a normal thirty-year-old woman that her parents expected
However, a few mornings ago, she habitually went to the subway with her bag on her back. It took two stops before she realized that she had resigned. This was the third time in half a month.
She has always been unwilling to delve into what this behavior represents. It was not until this moment, when He Yu pierced the window paper, that she realized——
I really want to go back to work, I really miss those colleagues in the company, I really miss Yiyi, I really miss Xia Ke...
She was about to cry just thinking about it.
"Huh? Are you alone? What about He Yu?"
Just when she was about to collapse emotionally, a familiar voice came from Yao Qing's voice.
She calmed down her emotions silently, then turned to look at Yao Qing who was by the door of the meeting room, and muttered coldly, "Go get some water."
Yao Qing nodded and frowned slightly, "Is it an illusion? Why do you always feel that you are very hostile to me?"
"...No...No." She denied embarrassingly.
"That may be my illusion." Yao Qing pursed her lips, and said deliberately: "That's right, I like Xia Ke, and you like He Yu, there is no conflict of interest at all, how could there be hostility. "
"..."
She glanced at Xing Yun who had a slightly ugly face, and continued to exchange pleasantries as if nothing had happened, "By the way, I heard He Yu said that you resigned?"
"Um… "
"Anyway, it's a place where you have worked for more than six years. Xia Ke treats you well, right? Although it is unreasonable to ask employees to share weal and woe with the company, have you never thought about it? The veteran who was already in the company when it was founded suddenly resigned, and the others will definitely feel that the company is dead, so they should hurry up and find another way out."
Her resignation is just a personal issue between her and Shake, it doesn't have that much influence, right? She faintly felt that something was wrong, raised her eyes and asked, "What is this situation?"
"Didn't He Yu tell you? There's something wrong with Xia Ke's company."
"..."
-boom.
There was a crisp sound.
Yao Qing and Xing Yun followed the sound almost at the same time.
He Yudai was standing not far from the conference room, with a mug that was broken all over the floor at his feet, as if the originally peaceful world was shattered into pieces in an instant.
