I could guess from Cheng Yu's expression that he was indeed on his mind, so I stopped tapping on the keyboard in my hand and looked at him with a serious expression.

"Tell me, what made you so sad early in the morning. ”

Cheng Yu squinted his eyes and took a hard puff on the cigarette, as if this was really the last cigarette he had smoked in his life.

"What I told you last time, here. He deliberately slowly spit out the cigarette in a circle, and watched the smoke disperse with the wind, "Ke Ning said that when I finish this construction site, I will go back to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a certificate, and then start preparing for pregnancy, so ah, I can't touch cigarettes and alcohol in the future!"

Obviously, this is a good thing, but how do I sound like he is not so happy, is it because the ideological work he has done before is not enough?

"So, are you reluctant to live this glamorous life of cigarettes and alcohol, or are you not ready to face the future married life and be a father?"

Actually, I can understand Ke Ning's thoughts very well, she is a high-achieving student, she is already in her twenties after reading the book, and she must be in a hurry at the age of 27 this year. He paused and corrected, "Oh no, it's just over a month until next year, and she'll be 28 years old." ”

"Love for the purpose of marriage is true love, you should feel happy for it, go with the flow, what should come will always come, this is most of the life trajectory of modern people, just face it calmly. ”

"Look at what you say, as if you were married. He smirked twice and said sarcastically: "How much love and hate do you know when you are young?"

I took out a puff of cigarette and glanced at Cheng Yu, but didn't answer what he said.

"Okay, I won't make any noise with you, you can continue to work, I'll go out for a walk, let's eat and drink well in the evening, and go home tomorrow." Cheng Yu put on a coat, but did not put on sleeves, took the coat as a cloak, and just opened the door and walked out.

I looked at his back, and suddenly sighed in my heart for a while: in the blink of an eye, we are all in our twenties, and we are no longer the children who looked for their parents when they encountered everything, but they have reached the age when they are ready to start a family and become parents.

The years, it's really inspiring!

......

After Cheng Yu went out, I worked alone in the rental house for a day, just like in the company, until dusk, and the part of the "Christmas" activity that I should do was finally made. In fact, there was other work to do, but I didn't continue to do it, because Cheng Yu, who had been out for a day, came back with large and small shopping bags in his hand.

"I'm going! What are you doing here, buying so many things?" I closed the computer and walked to the door to look at Cheng Yu who was struggling to carry things.

"On the left is our dinner, and on the right is what I'm going to bring home tomorrow. After putting things on the ground, he wiped his sweat, "You're done with your work, aren't you? ”

The two of us went to the kitchen to cook together, just like when we were young, we learned to cook at home, but now our cooking skills are no longer as "vague" as when we were children.

The dinner is not very rich, because Cheng Yu himself said that the main thing in the evening is for me to accompany him to drink, smoke, chat, and eat, this guy also bought two good cigarettes, and the salary is not the same, saying that one is smoked tonight, and the rest will be left for me, and the other is brought back to Lao Cheng.

We didn't talk about the present that night, but more about the funny things that happened when we were kids.

"I remember when I was in junior high school, you were still in elementary school, and at that time we were obsessed with online games, and we always secretly went to Internet cafes together after school. There was a typhoon, and the school had already sent a notice for everyone to go home from school early, and the students all ran home, but we went to the Internet café in the opposite direction. ”

Cheng Yu drank a lot of wine, his face was a little red, he showed a look of memory, and continued: "When I was playing games in the Internet café, there was a strong wind outside the house, and then I took advantage of the time when the eye of the wind came, and I pedaled my bicycle home. ”

At this time, I picked up the conversation: "Later, when I got home, my mother took out the cork stick used to beat rats and beat you around. I couldn't help laughing, "On the contrary, I am in danger, who made you a brother, if there is anything, you will be held accountable first!"

Cheng Yu also laughed, the bottle of old liquor on the table was drunk by the dusk outside the window, drunk our memories, red cheeks, and the strange things of childhood became our snacks.

When I woke up the next day, I sent Cheng Yu out of the community, but I didn't send him any further because he drove the car himself. Watching the car slowly leave and disappear from my sight, I silently prayed in my heart: I hope that when I go home for the Chinese New Year in three months, I can receive good news from him and my sister-in-law Kening!

......

The two-day weekend time passed in a blink of an eye, and today Monday, as soon as I arrived at the company, I sent the plan I had made over the weekend to Director Feng, but only a moment later, he replied to me and asked me to come to his office.

"Mr. Feng, are you looking for me?" I knocked on the office door and walked in.

"Hmm. He took a sip of coffee, "I took a look at the plan you sent, basically there is no problem, the project party is a rich owner, don't worry about the activity funding, so you can be bold to conceive, but ideas are ideas after all, you have to consider what you have in mind, and whether it can be realized in the end." ”

I nodded and agreed with him, but I didn't think this was the real purpose of him calling me over to the office, there must be something else to say, so I just stood in front of him and waited for him to continue talking.

Director Feng put the coffee cup in his hand on the desk, paused, took a breath, and asked, "Cheng Ting, have you been in contact with Anne these days?"

Hearing him ask this, I was suddenly stunned, as if I hadn't seen her for several days. I shook my head, "No." Then I asked suspiciously, "But, isn't Anne your secretary Mr. Feng?" and you should know better than me where she went. ”

"Alas, this Nizi told me last week that she had something to do and wanted to take a leave, and I didn't think much about it at the time, so I agreed to her, but I didn't expect that a week had passed, and she didn't go to work, and I didn't want to ask Mr. An, Mr. An went to Beijing on a business trip a few days ago, so he didn't feel at ease. Director Feng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, "Forget it, you go get busy first, it's okay." ”

Walking out of Director Feng's office, I thought about calling Anne, but after thinking about it, I gave up and sent WeChat instead, asking her why she didn't come to work at the company, and while walking, I edited the text and sent her a message.

As I walked, I suddenly saw two people walking in front of me, and when I looked up, it was Fang Kai and Li Zijie - Yu Yao was right, the two of them really smelled like each other came together.

"What a coincidence. Li Zijie sneered and said hello to me, and Fang Kai, who was standing next to him, saw me with an expression that was no longer as familiar and cordial as it seemed before.

I stopped, didn't respond to his words, and just looked at the two of them, because they also stopped, indicating that it wasn't just a matter of saying hello.

"When everyone is huddling together to keep warm, you are the only one who is alone. Li Zijie's voice changed tone, "Oh~ No, that's because you are very powerful and connected, and you can even go out for dinner to take on a new project and come back." I know he's referring to Xu Kun's upcoming restaurant project.

"So, that's why you two have gone from being hostile to 'friendly' relations?" I said, smiling.

"Cheng Ting, be careful in the company in the future, maybe there will be an accident one day, don't blame me for anything, if you want to blame yourself, you are too crazy and impersonal!" Fang Kai almost gritted his teeth and said, at this time, his face already made me feel very unfamiliar, as if he was a different person.

"Sure enough, reality has torn off your mask after all. ”

"Hehe, what do you know? You can still look safe and sound, that's because you haven't encountered the time when you are bound by money, sooner or later you will become like me, and the reality of this 'demon mirror' will tear off everyone's masks!"

"Why do you tell him so much, let's go, don't prevent people from making money. Li Zijie shouted Fang Kai, and the two of them walked past me, and the clothes on their shoulders just wiped lightly.

"Only people who are ugly at heart will make reality a 'mirror of demons'. I said softly, regardless of whether Fang Kai heard what I said or not, he just took a step, we went in opposite directions, as if it indicated that the relationship in the future was like a stranger!
