After Lin Shengnan was unemployed for several days, he finally found a new job and called to invite Wen Qi to eat seafood.

"So happy, which company is the insight?"

"Of course it's a big company," Lin Shengnan couldn't hide his smugness, "An investment company under the Donghai Group. ”

"Oh, I thought it was a multinational?" she disagreed.

"I'm fighting my way out of a group of master's and doctor's degrees from prestigious universities, am I easy?" she said in a strange voice.

"Okay, go eat seafood, someone has a treat, how can you not go?" Wen Qi thought about it and said, "It's a pity that Jinhui is not here." "She went on a business trip with her mentor.

The two went to a very famous restaurant in S City, Shenhai Restaurant. The restaurant is built by the sea, from the appearance, it is an antique pavilion, sitting upstairs, eating seafood, the gentle sea breeze blows from the sea, bringing a coolness.

"Eat seafood, let's drink some white bar?" The local people have this habit, drink some liquor when eating seafood, and the stomach is not easy to make mistakes.

"Forget it, I don't want to carry another drunkard back. In fact, she doesn't like alcohol, and even hates the smell of alcohol after drinking, which always makes her think of indulgence, loss of control, confusion, and ambiguity...... She didn't like that feeling.

Lin Shengnan stuck out his tongue, "Then I have to drink juice." ”

Wen Qi ate very little, they sat by the window, in a good position, she looked out of the window from time to time.

"What's wrong, do you have something on your mind?" Lin Shengnan also discovered her abnormality.

"Sheng Nan, do you know? Across the sea is my hometown, where I have lived for sixteen years. Wen Qi said in a calm tone.

Lin Shengnan knew that she was from Yunzhou, but she rarely heard her say this, and she and Jinhui never asked. Wen Qi actually has a lot of very strange behaviors, she doesn't like red, and even feels uncomfortable when she sees red, she can't pick out a red one in her clothes and the things she uses, and when she is with her, they never wear that kind of bright clothes; she told them that her parents are gone, but once, a person who claimed to be her father came to her, she went out with that person with a gloomy face, and when she came back, she lay on the platform on the roof of the dormitory building all night; when she was in college, she often went out to work to earn money, and she couldn't say how good it was financially, but when she was about to graduate, she bought an apartment with a sea view in the golden area of S City……

She didn't explain all this, and they never asked, but they vaguely knew that there must be some stories about her past.

"Wen Qi, are you homesick?" she asked softly.

"I miss my mother, Sheng Nan, I want to go back and see her,...... However, I didn't want to go back, and after she died, I didn't sweep her grave once, and I think she must blame me. Wen Qi muttered, as if talking to himself.

"Sometimes, I also feel homesick, but why should I go back to that home? to see my mother humbly please my father, or to see my father's son born outside?" Lin Shengnan's tone was full of mockery.

This dinner was a little sad because of the two of them's own thoughts.

Wen Qi didn't know why she was talking about this tonight, maybe it was the bright sea view that made her feel so close to the other side, and in her memory, her mother was also very fond of seafood, she would steam big crabs, boil conch, and make all kinds of fish balls for her......

She leaned on the floor-to-ceiling glass of the bay window, which was her favorite place in the house, sitting on it, with a distant view of the sea, leaning on it as if she was going to break out of the window at any moment, she was not afraid of heights, but liked the feeling of wandering on the edge of a high place, the feeling of no retreat.

The phone rang suddenly, she took it, looked at the flashing number, and casually threw the phone aside, and the phone rang for a long time, and finally lost her patience and lost her voice.

Just after a while, the phone at home rang again, she still didn't move, and the phone entered the message state.

"Wen Qi, I know you're at home. The other party seemed to sigh softly, "Is it so difficult for Dad to talk to you?...... , Dad is old and really wants you to come back,...... Don't you want to come back to see your mother? You've been gone for so long, you really don't want to come back for the rest of your life?......"

Every once in a while, she would have a message in her phone recording, and she always deleted it as soon as she heard it.

At night, Wen Qi woke up in a nightmare, and his pajamas were already soaked with sweat. She got up and went to the balcony, pushed open the window, and the night breeze blew in with a hint of coolness, lit a cigarette, and sat down on the chaise longue, the cigarette butts flickering in the darkness like stars twinkling in the night sky. All the scenes in the dream were so familiar: tangled bodies, desperate running, broken glass, bright red blood...... , distant but clear, like a hidden disease hidden somewhere in the body, when you don't have an attack, you will feel that you are no different from ordinary people, but it will always remind you at the right time, its existence, let you understand that you are a patient.

The consequences of the overnight wind were immediately apparent in the morning, and she caught a cold. Sitting there almost sneezing one after another, snot and tears streaming down in unison, embarrassed, and groggy head.

"Got a cold? Jiang Ruohua also noticed her strangeness.

"Well, it seems to be. She said angrily.

"There's nothing urgent about Corey, you can go back and rest. "It's rare for her to be so considerate of her subordinates.

On the way back, I bought some cold medicine in the pharmacy, looked at the instructions and took several kinds of granules and tablets, climbed into bed and fell asleep, maybe it was a cold medicine similar to the effect of sleeping, this sleep was very heavy, and she was awakened by the ringtone of the mobile phone, and when she opened her eyes, she found that it was already dark, and she actually slept for so long, I don't know if it was the effect of medicine or the effect of sleep, I felt a lot better, I took out the mobile phone from the bag, it was Jiang Dongyang's phone, "Wen Qi, how are you?"

"How do you know I'm sick?" she wondered.

"I'm going to your bureau to do something in the afternoon, I want to go to see you on the way, Section Chief Jiang told me that you are sick, how do you feel?

"Oh, no, I took my medicine and feel better, thank you. ”

"You definitely didn't eat dinner, what do you want to eat, I'll buy some and send it to you, right?" Jiang Dongyang was very enthusiastic.

Wen Qi was a little embarrassed, feeling that he didn't seem to be so familiar with him, "No need, I can order takeout by myself, it's very convenient, really." ”

"Alright then, if there's anything you need me to help with, call me. ”

"Okay, thank you. ”

Putting down the phone, Wen Qi's heart was a little warm, when people are sick, they are really vulnerable. In fact, she is very afraid of getting sick, she is afraid of the feeling of being alone in the hospital, and at that time, loneliness will be infinitely magnified, which will make you even more sad.
