In a city like Huaiqing, there are not many medical aesthetics, but minor surgeries like double eyelids can be done in many beauty salons. Under Zhang Xiaoxiao's strong suggestion, they still came to a relatively formal private clinic, the scale of the clinic is medium, but the doctor is from the only local tertiary hospital, which means that there is the level of a regular hospital, but only the fees of ordinary clinics, and even the price of many beauty salons is fairer.

The doctor at the clinic suggested that Huang Tingting's double eyelids and facial liposuction could be done at the same time, and even a small nose complex could be considered, and Huang Tingting agreed with a smile. Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't know whether to encourage or stop it, if the three surgeries were done at the same time, the risk would definitely be greater, and the recovery would be more painful. But these three surgeries are indeed quite suitable for her, besides, the same surgery is also painful, and the three are also painful, and it will be over after a few days. Just thinking about it, Huang Tingting couldn't wait to sign the surgery agreement.

Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Doctor Li, when you do it, don't you need to open the corners of your eyes, I have seen many people make Internet celebrity faces." ”

Dr. Lee: "Yes. It's okay not to do it. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao: "If there is liposuction, you still have to leave some under the cheekbones, it's too thin and ugly." ”

Dr. Li: "You're quite professional, but the fat in each place is not the same thick, we think more about how to treat it more smoothly, I usually suck a little more near the chin and masseter muscles, and then look at the effect, and decide whether to smoke in other places or not, and how much to pump." ”

Huang Tingting looked at them with an idiot on her face, and when Dr. Li entered the operating room to prepare, she happily asked Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Am I going to be completely different when I come out?" Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled and nodded.

"When you come out later, you'll be a big pig's head. ”

"What, what did you say?"

"I said don't be nervous, it's a minor operation, it's going to be fine. ”

The operation lasted for about two hours, Zhang Xiaoxiao ordered a takeout for Wenwen, the little guy was happy for a while except when he was eating, and he was extremely bored at other times, and he was lying down in the reception room for a while, but Zhang Xiaoxiao couldn't leave, for fear that Huang Tingting would suddenly come out and no one would take care of him.

The clinic is a mom-and-pop shop and has a few nurses. The proprietress used to be a nurse, the boss Dr. Li is a second marriage, much older than the proprietress , she didn't inquire about any stories between them, but the proprietress doesn't look simple, she gives people an indifferent look of fame and fortune in person, but she likes to show affection and show off her wealth secretly, and her gestures are all dramas, and the circle of friends is simply a mess, and she can't help but want to block her.

Finally survived until the end of the operation, Zhang Xiaoxiao rushed to the door of the operating room with props, put on sunglasses and a fisherman's hat for Huang Tingting, and Dr. Li came over and pointed to the sunglasses: "You can't wear sunglasses, pay attention to pressing your nose." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao carefully examined Huang Tingting's face and tried to suppress her smile: "Well, it looks good." Huang Tingting was excited to look in the mirror when she heard this, and Zhang Xiaoxiao dragged her over: "You go quickly, go home and take it slowly, Wenwen is in a hurry." ”

After driving for a long time, Huang Tingting, who had been chattering excitedly just now, suddenly quieted down, Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at her through the rearview mirror, her face was swollen like a pig's head, and she couldn't see her expression clearly. I only vaguely felt that my expression should be very sad.

"Why don't you speak?"

"Xiaoxiao, your rearview mirror isn't deformed, right?"

"What's wrong?"

"I seem to see my face, you tell you the truth, did you fail?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao finally couldn't stop laughing.

"Tingting, let me tell you, just after the operation, that's it, as long as you take good care, you can recover in just a few days. However, it is estimated that it will take at least half a year for surgery such as double eyelids to return to naturalness. Later, I have to buy you painkillers, and remember to take the anti-inflammatory drugs given by the doctor, you have to get through tonight. ”

Huang Tingting still couldn't stop wailing: "Ah..... why didn't you tell me before?"

"Tell you you're not going to do it?"

"At least prepare me psychologically!"

"Except for increasing the psychological burden, it's useless!"

"And what if it doesn't work out?"

"Don't worry, you follow the precautions given to you by the doctor, just be careful not to get infected, and leave the rest to God!"

"What God, I came here because I believed in you!"

"Don't touch the porcelain, I said let you do the same, did you listen to me? But don't worry, I've only been through these surgeries more than once, nothing, really, minor surgeries. ”

"You've done it too?"

"No, it's mainly for people. ”

Huang Tingting was excited: "Tell me quickly, what have you done, why can't I see it?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously: "I lied to you, but it's really not a big deal, don't worry." ”

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhang Xiaoxiao woke up very early, she tried to clean up her home, pasted the Spring Festival and Fu characters in advance, prepared fruits and snacks, and wanted to create a feeling that she could also celebrate the New Year well. Then he packed up Wenwen's things and waited for Feng Sen to come and pick them up.

Unexpectedly, Feng Sen didn't even enter the door, he waited directly outside the door for Wenwen to go out, and when he left, he turned around and asked lightly: "Do you want to go back to the New Year with me?" Zhang Xiaoxiao shook his head, and before he could speak, Feng Sen had already pulled Wenwen and turned to leave.

This is the sadness of middle-aged couples, women often miss the feeling of being spoiled when they are in love, and most straight men after marriage no longer have that patience. Sometimes a quarrel can be avoided by just a few more words, a little more gentleness and patience from a man, but a man is not willing to make a little more effort, even if he has to face a fierce quarrel. A woman of Zhang Xiaoxiao's personality doesn't have enough foreshadowing and steps, how can she easily back down? But she also knows that if she wants Feng Sen to have that patience, it is probably the sun that comes out of the west.

After Wenwen left, Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little lost, and she simply didn't have the interest in eating, so she lay on the sofa with snacks and watched the highlights before the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. I haven't paid attention to TV shows for too long, and a lot of things can't keep up with the times. Because of the low mood, although the bustle in front of him is very lively, his heart is as cold as winter. Looking at it like this, it really didn't taste good, and I fell asleep for a while.

In the haze, the body was cold. I tried to open my eyes and look out the window, it was getting dark. Picked up the phone and looked, it was five o'clock, there was a message on the phone, it was sent by Huang Zixuan, concise and to the point, I wish her a happy New Year. She smiled bitterly in her heart: You don't have a mother, I don't have a home, one sad person wishes another sad person a happy New Year, sad and funny. I thought about giving him a polite reply, but I thought about it for a long time, and I didn't know what to reply. Suddenly remembered that he was abroad, and he didn't know if he was going to roam for sending a message, and he didn't know if he was sending it in groups, so it didn't matter if he couldn't get it back, so he threw his phone away, looking for something to eat. Before she could stand up, the phone rang, it was Huang Tingting.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, why are my eyes still so swollen?"

"It's only the next day, okay? ”

"Well, my nose is not comfortable. ”

"There's going to be an adaptation period, it's not your own thing, okay. ”

"I don't have anything to eat at home, and I don't dare to go out to eat. ”

"You didn't come home?"

"No, I didn't go home to scare my family to death, I told them I was on duty. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao thought for a while, thinking that it was difficult for her to be miserable and miserable, so it was better for the two of them to huddle together to keep warm.

"Then I'll go with you!"

"Then what's the matter, you have to accompany your own family. ”

"Forget it, I'll tell you when I get there. ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao took the food at home and took the hot pot. Huang Tingting looked at the hot pot, but tears flowed down her eyes, and Zhang Xiaoxiao kept handing her facial paper.

Huang Tingting: "Xiaoxiao, you said that you had such a big grievance in your heart, why did you never tell me?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao: "What a big deal? I don't think it's a grievance. ”

Huang Tingting: "Why aren't you wronged, Xiaoxiao, I want to know that you are all alone, so I will accompany you more." ”

Zhang Xiaoxiao: "I found out how you are like Liu Yue today, overflowing with love, I am such a big person, I can still bear this little thing." ”

Huang Tingting: "No, Xiaoxiao, you are my best friend in Xinjing, my best friend encountered something but I didn't know, my friend is very derelict in his duties, do you know?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao: "Don't you have something I don't know? Who doesn't have a little privacy?"

Huang Tingting: "I didn't!"

Huang Xiaoxiao: "You like a person in our company, who is that person?"

Huang Tingting was dumbfounded, and her swollen eyelids couldn't open them. Zhang Xiaoxiao tried hard to suppress the laughter in her heart, pretending to eat hot pot calmly. Huang Tingting picked up the chopsticks and silently began to eat hot pot. After that, the atmosphere began to be delicate, and the two of them kept eating hot pot in a sullen voice, watching the Spring Festival Gala, except for occasionally persuading each other to eat, or commenting on the party program, there was no communication at other times.

When it comes to sleeping at night, the two of them sleep in one room each. Before going to bed, Huang Tingting sent a message to Zhang Xiaoxiao: I think it's better to tell you, otherwise it will seem that I am too unrighteous. Zhang Xiaoxiao was already sleepy, so she replied to her: Forget it, let's talk about it when you want to tell the truth, good night. Who knew that after a while, Huang Tingting actually ran to her room by herself and got into her bed.

"Can you swear not to tell anyone, I'll tell you!" Huang Tingting was mysterious. "Why can't you tell others, is it a married man?" Zhang Xiaoxiao had an ominous premonition in her heart, and this premonition, to be honest, existed from the beginning. After a period of silence, Huang Tingting opened her mouth again: "Do you particularly look down on such people?" Of course, Zhang Xiaoxiao can't understand such a person, but she can't go-for-tat with her friends, so she carefully organized her own language: "It's not that I look down on it, it's that the mainstream ideology of this society can't tolerate it." If you embark on this path, you will work much harder than others!"

Huang Tingting babbled her own story in pieces. Huang Tingting is more advanced than Zhang Xiaoxiao in Huaiqing City Company, and she is also the only person who was not the original Xinjing Group hired before the unified recruitment of Xinjing Group, and there are some small stories in the middle. At that time, Xinjing Group had not yet begun to recruit people in Huaiqing, and Huang Tingting was interviewing with another unit, and this unit was in the same building as Xinjing City Company, but Huang Tingting found the wrong place and arrived at the current office location of Xinjing Group.

At that time, Guo Fei was in charge of the preliminary preparations of the city company, maybe it was too boring, maybe Guo Fei was a person who could speak well, and he could have sent Huang Tingting away directly, but he was stunned and pulled Huang Tingting to chat for more than an hour, from life philosophy to poetry and songs, of course, this is nonsense, Guo Fei told Huang Tingting about his history of struggle in Xinjing, and encouraged her that if she stayed in Xinjing, her future would be limitless, and Huang Tingting really stayed in Xinjing.

In fact, Guo Fei's performance that day was not enough to give Huang Tingting a sincere favor. When she arrived in Xinjing, Huang Tingting realized that Guo Fei was much more sleek and sophisticated than she imagined, but Guo Fei also had a down-to-earth side, whether it was for employees or the company, at key nodes, he was really a good leader, and he had nothing to say about employees. These have some good feelings, but they only stop at the role of a good leader. The relationship between the two was sublimated, in fact, on the night of the annual meeting, to put it bluntly, it was impulsive after drinking, and both of them drank, so it happened.

Huang Tingting also insisted that she had drunk too much, and it happened without knowing anything. But Zhang Xiaoxiao knows that Huang Tingting is also a relatively stable person, it is impossible for her to drink until she is unconscious, she still has a good impression of Guo Fei subconsciously, but because of the constraints of morality, she never dares to talk about it. Afterwards, the relationship between the two did not go any further, and directly developed into a couple relationship, but between the two, listening to Huang Tingting's description, it was somewhat ambiguous.

For example, she will often give Huang Tingting some shopping cards or gifts, saying that they were given by others, and she can't use them herself, so she can use them. I no longer arrange for her to do some odd things, and she will also say some words of concern, but these things don't seem to be enough to explain anything. However, Guo Fei never offered to invite Huang Tingting out to dinner or anything like that. No matter how deep Zhang Xiaoxiao is, he can't figure out whether Guo Fei is compensating for that night or wanting to further show his goodwill.

Although Huang Tingting's appearance is not outstanding, she may not be as beautiful as Guo Fei's daughter-in-law, but she is young after all, maybe Guo Fei may not like Huang Tingting very much, because men's preference for young women is the same. Zhang Xiaoxiao guessed that out of reason or reality, Guo Fei was still in a state of swaying, so he showed a state of not taking the initiative and refusing.

Huang Tingting is not very confident in her appearance, as for whether she is interested in Guo Fei, it can be seen from her desperate plastic surgery. She was carried away by love, and she may not have thought about what kind of result she was pursuing by doing this.

After saying what she said in her heart, Huang Tingting was relieved and fell asleep after a while. And Zhang Xiaoxiao tossed and turned, unable to sleep. This world has given her too much to think about, Guo Fei used to be just a funny existence for her, but now her opinion of him has changed, this change is mixed with the disgust of cheating men after being a wife, and she is a little afraid that she will not dare to treat him positively in the future.

But these are other people's business after all, tomorrow is the new year, and how to go in the new year, you have to think about it. Everything is like a glimmer of light, it seems that there is no longer darkness in front of him, and whether he can seize the opportunity and turn over the salted fish, he needs to cultivate well.
