Chapter IV
Xiao Fei, who joined Billin Xiaojiao for half a year, has always been the most chatty man in the office, chattering all the way until he arrived at the ward.
"That, Xiao Fei......" Lin Xiaojiao finally seized the opportunity to speak, "The handsome guy you saw just now is also a patient in the hospital, and I didn't talk to him." ”
Xiao Fei put down the fruit basket and sat down on the chair next to the hospital bed and said, "Ah, I said from the quarrel between Lili and her boyfriend that Sister Dan was angry, why are you still talking about the previous thing?"
Lin Xiaojiao could only say silently in his heart: It's not because you are too fast-paced, and you don't give me a chance to speak.
"Okay, of course I know your personality, you talk slowly like a little turtle, usually you can't interject when we chat in the office, and you can't talk to a handsome guy who looks like a star. ”
Ay.
Lin Xiaojiao sighed weakly in his heart, with a habitual indifferent smile on his face, and asked with a little apprehension along his previous topic: "Is Sister Dan angry because of me?" Sister Dan told me before that I don't have to go to the company. ”
"I know I know, the whole office listened when you called, but after hanging up the phone, only I showed the news to Sister Dan!" Speaking of this, Xiao Fei showed an expression of 'don't thank me too much', and continued: "Sister Dan asked me to tell you that you can recuperate with peace of mind before you are discharged from the hospital, and part of the project you participated in before was handed over to others." Lili: They said they came to see you after work, but I came over at noon when I had something to do in the evening, and I told you, you are now a celebrity in the company. ”
Chatting with Xiao Fei, Lin Xiaojiao almost didn't need to take the initiative to ask questions, he only needed to extract the information points he wanted to know from his large paragraphs of words.
The job was saved, and I was happy.
It's just that her colleagues are going to come to see her, and she is afraid that she will not be able to resist such enthusiasm.
"Eat bananas or apples?" Xiao Fei began to rummage in the fruit basket, asking himself: "Let's eat bananas, you can eat them if you peel them, although you don't seem to have anything at all, but you still have to eat more fruits!"
The basket of fruits from the yard to the ward was very 'quiet', so the hungry Lin Xiaojiao nodded.
And almost at the same time, a voice followed the banana handed over by Xiao Fei from far and near, "He just wants to be the first to take a photo with Lin Xiaojiao in front of all his colleagues." ”
Not again.
This time, Banana spoke.
Lin Xiaojiao held the banana, only feeling hot and hot, but she was much calmer than before.
"Eat, why are you stunned?" Xiao Fei said worriedly: "Is it because you don't have the strength to do it, do you want me to help peel it off?"
The man's words were still in his ears, and Lin Xiaojiao hurriedly shook his head, "That...... Do you want to take a group photo?"
"Of course!" Xiao Fei's eyes lit up, and he turned on the mobile phone camera and came over, "Xiaojiao, I found out that you became easy to understand me after being struck by lightning!
Was she really that wooden before?
No wonder I don't have many friends.
But at the same time, it also verified once again that what Banana said was true.
For the sake of workplace friendship, Lin Xiaojiao held a banana and looked at the camera very cooperatively.
After 'clicking' two sheets, Xiao Fei said: "Laugh, laugh." ”
Lin Xiaojiao tugged at the corners of his lips, like the 'smirking boy' emoji that was popular on the Internet.
Xiao Fei got his wish and followed the trend to post the circle of friends of 'lightning protection koi', and then chatted with Lin Xiaojiao about a few words of office gossip and left.
As soon as he left, Lin Xiaojiao immediately hugged a basket of fruits and took out the fruits one by one.
"Apple, apple?"
“……”
"Hey, Pear, can you hear me?"
“……”
"Banana, do you have anything else to say?"
“……”
Unlike the previous scares, she now wants to explore more about the circumstances under which food speaks.
Every time she hears everything is true, if she makes good use of it, it will definitely be much easier for her to interact with people in the future!
Xiao Fei walked for a while and then turned back to ask Lin Xiaojiao when he could be discharged from the hospital, but when he walked to the door, he saw her talking to the fruit god, he paused for two or three seconds, shook his head, and left with emotion.
I have to tell other colleagues that it's okay to come to the hospital to see her, and I'm so lonely that I can chat with the fruit!
It seems that she will not be able to get out of the hospital for a while.
---
In the following days, Lin Xiaojiao's ward, which had been unattended before, became very lively, in addition to doctors and nurses, colleagues who came to visit her, and some local self-media, all came to Lin Xiaojiao for interviews.
Lin Xiaojiao became so inexplicably angry.
It's just a pity that even so, she didn't receive a single call from her family. Of course, she didn't take the initiative to fight, when she was very young, Lin Xiaojiao learned the skill of 'don't complain', so that she developed a shy and introverted personality later.
Lin Xiaojiao is a native of Z City, studied in a university in City A, and stayed in City A after graduation, Z City and City A are separated by a province, and her parents pay little attention to her, so she can understand if she doesn't know her things.
In order to protect her head from being dissected, Lin Xiaojiao never told anyone around her that she would hear food talking, and no matter how advanced the medical equipment was, she couldn't detect anything abnormal in her body, except for low blood sugar.
Why do I have low blood sugar?
Because Lin Xiaojiao can't eat anything.
As she was dizzy from hunger, her limbs were weak, and she was trembling and stretched out her hand to the food, all the food that was passed to her mouth began to speak.
Whether it's meals in the hospital cafeteria or snacks in the convenience store, beef, pork ribs, meatballs, and all the other foods she likes are yelling at her, so bad that she can't even drink water.
She kind of discovered that all food speaks before it is eaten, only one word, and does not speak to her.
Whether she eats or not, these talking foods, is a question that makes her soul tremble.
On the fifth day of hospitalization, Lin Xiaojiao almost relied on glucose injection, and the doctor's attention to her shifted from physiology to psychology, and she only felt that she must have anorexia.
No one wants to live in the hospital all the time, even if it's free, and on the tenth day after the lightning strike, Lin Xiaojiao finally overcame his fear and ate a small bowl of porridge.
On the fifteenth day after the lightning strike, Lin Xiaojiao was finally discharged from the hospital.
On the second day of discharge, Lin Xiaojiao went to work in the company, she deliberately put on the clothes she wore on the day of the turnaround, and still went out at 7:50, bought soy milk and fritters at the breakfast shop at the entrance of the community, and looked up at the clear sky when she walked to the bus stop.
It's as if the life that was interrupted before is connected again.
Before entering the company, Lin Xiaojiao cheered himself up: Huh - Lin Xiaojiao, you are a regular employee, you have to work hard!
Lin Xiaojiao, who is not good at socializing, thought about the opening remarks of returning to the company when he was hospitalized, and even practiced many times with his expression.
So Lin Xiaojiao raised the corners of his lips slightly as he had practiced countless times, took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the group office.
In front of me was a familiar scene, most of the colleagues in the office had arrived, some yawning and tidying up things on their desks, and some people gathering together to chat.
Lin Xiaojiao waved his hand and shouted the opening remarks: "Good morning, everyone." ”
Hearing the sound, everyone looked up in unison, and all their eyes fell on Lin Xiaojiao's voice at the door.
There was silence for a moment.
Lin Xiaojiao swept the expressions of his colleagues one by one, and his ears were already flushed with embarrassment.
Is it that she doesn't smile kindly?
Or is it just that the posture of raising your hand is too stiff?
sighed, I knew that I wouldn't add so much drama to myself, how good it would be to go to my position silently as before.
"Xiaojiao?" The first person to speak out was Lili at the next table.
Lin Xiaojiao nodded, his eyes flickered unconfidently, and he still said the prepared second line, "Thank you for going to the hospital to see me before, if my hospitalization didn't cause everyone's workload, I will work overtime to make up for it from today on!"
However, her carefully prepared second line did not exchange for the expected response.
What she got was Lili's voice raised in surprise, and she walked around the desk to her, "It's really you?!"
Lin Xiaojiao was stared at by her, and nodded again for some reason, "It's my ......"
Lili: "God, Xiaojiao, you've lost too much weight, haven't you?"
Other colleagues reacted and echoed: "Yes, it's so exaggerated to be thin! I can't recognize it if I don't listen to the voice!"
Lili reached out and pinched Lin Xiaojiao's arm, "There's no meat anymore, I'm so envious, your face is pointed, and your eyes have become a lot bigger!
Eh, is this complimenting her?
The redness of Lin Xiaojiao's ears has changed from embarrassment to shyness, "There is something to eat." ”
It's just that she eats less, after all, for her now, every time she eats, she has to engage in a psychological battle.
The male colleague Guozi interjected: "Is Xiaojiao wearing makeup?"
Lin Xiaojiao shook his head.
"If it weren't for the news, I would have thought you had plastic surgery in the past half a month, Xiaojiao is so beautiful today. ”
Lin Xiaojiao didn't know how to deal with such an unfamiliar compliment, so he could only laugh embarrassedly.
The whole office was unusually active and noisy, on the contrary, Xiao Fei was very quiet, and he kept looking tangled back and forth on the faces of his colleagues and Lin Xiaojiao.
He felt that Lin Xiaojiao must have not eaten, after all, he witnessed her talking to the fruit!
She must have been so lonely that she was a friend of food.
Xiao Fei's face was full of words: I really want to share gossip with others, but Lin Xiaojiao himself can't say it when he is present.
After five minutes like this, the door was pushed open again, and Chen Dan, who had low air pressure, walked in with his bag.
The office that had just been hustle and bustle fell silent for a moment.
After a short silence, everyone said tacitly: "Good morning, Sister Dan." “
Chen Dan: "It's going to work time soon, I'm not ready to go in to work, what are you chatting about at the door?"
Chen Dan has a bad temper, but this tone seems to be in a very bad mood today.
Although he was a little stunned, Lin Xiaojiao still said the third line, "I wanted to invite everyone to dinner on the day I turned positive, but in case of an accident, I want to invite everyone to dinner tonight, and Sister Dan will ...... together."
"Don't go. Without waiting for Lin Xiaojiao to finish speaking, Chen Dan interrupted coldly and changed the bag from his left hand to his right hand, "If you have time to chat, it's better to go downstairs and buy me a cup of coffee before going to work." ”
Yu walked to his desk with his high heels.
As soon as Chen Dan left, Lili immediately whispered: "What are you inviting her to do, she hates this kind of party, and she seems to be in a very bad mood today, you must not provoke her." ”
Lin Xiaojiao glanced at the wall clock on the wall, it was only fourteen minutes before the start time, she lit a fire on the soles of her feet, and immediately turned around and went downstairs.
Well-prepared rehearsed line expressions don't seem to be of much use.
I don't know what I'll say when I wait for that cup of coffee to be drunk, can I give her some guidance as a rookie in the workplace?
