Chen Dan's words were like a stick aimed at her, which made Lin Xiaojiao's head dizzy, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

What is her dream, what is her success, and what is the life she wants?

It's something she's deliberately avoided all along.

She never thought about it, or rather, she didn't dare to think about it, because she grew up, no matter which group she was in, she lived carefully, even in front of her parents, she was also cowering, maybe she heard too many mother's inadvertent complaints, which made her feel that she was a drag oil bottle, a burden to her parents' life.

So, where did she dare to ask for anything?

You're going to be hated......

She habitually suppresses what she longs for, even needs, to the deepest part of her heart, and does not sprout a seedling of hope, so that there will not be a day of withering.

Yes, Chen Dan is right, she is cowardly, in front of anyone and anything, she is cowardly.

Chen Dan's words were like a sharp knife, cutting through the protective film that Lin Xiaojiao had woven with evasion, she had to face it and think about it.

What is the life she wants, Lin Xiaojiao's life?

This night, Lin Xiaojiao tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a long time.

In the next few days, Lin Xiaojiao was like an eggplant beaten by frost, the whole person was cowardly, without any energy, and he seemed absent-minded when he was in the office.

Lin Xiaojiao was not a person with a sense of existence, it was Chen Dan's attention to her before, which attracted the attention of other colleagues, but now Chen Dan is indifferent to her, and then, everything is back to the way it was, no one noticed Lin Xiaojiao's silence, and no one cared about Lin Xiaojiao's silence.

---

In the blink of an eye, it was another Monday of the week, and the time had reached the end of October, and the temperature difference between day and night in City A had increased, and there had been some autumn gloom.

Because Chen Dan went on a business trip, except for Lin Xiaojiao, who was still at the bottom of his emotions, the atmosphere of the entire office was very active.

Lin Xiaojiao is still at the bottom of his emotions, and his whole person is like air without a sense of existence.

During the lunch break, Lili asked her teasingly: "Xiaojiao, where is the man chasing you?"

“...... Huh?" Lin Xiaojiao reacted slowly, looking confused.

"I don't want to deliver food today? I don't see it delivered in the morning, did you promise to be with him? What kind of man? Is it our company?"

Lin Xiaojiao just shook his head and denied it, the takeaway brother said before, Wu Nanyuan has been set for half a month, this is half a month has passed, she has eaten other people's food for half a month, she is already very grateful.

But Lin Xiaojiao's appearance has another interpretation in Lili's eyes, and he said comfortingly: "He gave up?" No wonder you haven't talked much these days, do you regret not agreeing to his pursuit? Hey, it's okay, Xiaojiao, don't be too sad, if you want to fall in love, I'll introduce you to a few little brothers another day, it's very simple, don't be depressed, if you're unhappy, talk to me." ”

"No, no, I ......" Lin Xiaojiao didn't know how to explain, "Lili, can you ...... with me"

The word 'let's chat' didn't come out, Lili had already gotten up with a smile and asked someone else to dinner.

I haven't slept well recently, after a day of work, Lin Xiaojiao has a feeling that her body has been hollowed out, and she is very eager for the small bed in the rental house, so it is rare that she has no plans to work overtime today, and she will start to pack up her things when it is time.

At this time, Lili next door suddenly leaned over and smiled at her again, and asked, "Xiaojiao, what arrangements do you make for getting off work today?"

After asking, he didn't give Lin Xiaojiao time to answer, and said to himself: "There must be no arrangement, right, you don't have a boyfriend and no good friends, and you go home after work, or you can do me a favor." ”

The sentence of inquiry, but Lili's words and deeds had already helped Lin Xiaojiao answer, and she began to pack up the things on the table, "After a while, someone from the department in charge of Li will come over to deliver some things, saying that I will wait for her here, but I have made an appointment with my boyfriend for dinner, you can help me wait for her to come before getting off work." ”

The words "You don't have a boyfriend and don't have a good friend" kept echoing in Lin Xiaojiao's mind, and the villain who had been suppressed in her heart seemed to pop up, and the two quarreled fiercely.

- "Don't promise her, say 'no'. ”

- "Why don't you say yes? It's not the first time, you've said yes every time before." ”

- "But you're tired, aren't you? Don't you want to go home and sleep? It's her job, and you don't have an obligation to help her all the time." ”

- "If you refuse, you will be hated, you have forgotten what you heard before, and if you refuse, what will they say about you behind your back?"

The scales in Lin Xiaojiao's heart were swaying from side to side, and Chen Dan's previous words sounded clearly in her ears: "Xiaojiao, people who can't say 'no', it's just themselves who work hard, you can't learn to 'break away', I want to help you, but I can't help." If you blindly accept the oppression of others without a bottom line, then what others do to you is not considered 'bullying'. ”

Suddenly there was a crack in her heart, and hot magma gushed out, all the way to her throat, her throat was burning and hot, and she spit out a word dryly: "No ......"

Lili paused, "What?"

"No...... Lin Xiaojiao followed his inner thoughts for the first time and rejected others, his whole face turned red, "I can't help you." ”

Lili smiled and asked in disbelief, "Why can't you help me?"

Obviously, she has the right to refuse, but when Lili asked, Lin Xiaojiao immediately dodged her eyes, as if she had made a decision that she shouldn't have, and it seemed that she must give some reason to refuse her.

So Lin Xiaojiao's lips opened and closed, and finally tried to tell a lie about the scene, "I, I made an appointment with a friend......"

"Friend, what friend?" Lili's eyes were full of doubts, and she even wanted to expose her, "I've never heard of any friends you have, Xiaojiao, we have been colleagues for so long, you won't be so helpful and unhelpful, and you have to find such a false reason to deceive me, right?"

Lili's eyes were like torches, Lin Xiaojiao's heart was weak, and cold sweat broke out on her back.

At this time, a person with a company badge appeared at the door of their department's office and shouted, "Is Lin Xiaojiao here?"

Lin Xiaojiao was pardoned, and immediately stood up, "I'm here, are you?"

"I was just going home from work, and I met your friend downstairs, and he asked me to bring you a message. In fact, this colleague only told half the truth, why he was willing to come to pass the word, because the person who asked him to pass the word stuffed him with 500 yuan, and 500 yuan was used as a microphone, and it would be a fool not to do such a job.

Lin Xiaojiao, who had just moved out for such a reason to deal with Lili, shook his body when he heard the word 'friend'.

How can she have friends, is it Cheng Shasha?

Lin Xiaojiao: "What words?"

Colleague: "He said to let you leave work on time today, and he is waiting for you below." ”

After speaking, the colleague felt that the mission had been accomplished, turned around and left.

Whether it was Cheng Shasha or not, Lin Xiaojiao felt that this person was simply a savior sent by God, otherwise she would be so embarrassed that she would be embarrassed in the face of Lili's repeated questions.

Lin Xiaojiao tugged at the corners of his lips, "That Lili is this friend......"

Lili was still suspicious, "Xiaojiao, you shouldn't have deliberately called that colleague to come over and say such things, what kind of friend did you tell me." ”

Lin Xiaojiao himself didn't know who the person who came, let alone describe it to Lili, "I...... I don't know how to say ......."

"Heh-" Lili sneered, feeling more and more that Lin Xiaojiao was lying, so she wanted to expose her, so she got up and walked to the window, "I don't know how to say that you can point it out to me, just say it, which one is your friend." ”

Lin Xiaojiao could only follow to the window and look downstairs at the company, it was the peak of getting off work, and the door was full of employees going home from work.

But Lin Xiaojiao saw a black Porsche coupe at a glance.

God, it's not Cheng Shasha, but Wu Nanyuan, who hasn't seen him for half a month?!

Lin Xiaojiao was stunned.

I couldn't hear Lin Xiaojiao's voice in the middle of the ring, Lili was even more sure in her heart, and she proudly pointed to a boy in a plaid shirt who was waiting for someone less than 1.7 meters tall standing at the door, "Is that the person?"

Lin Xiaojiao shook his head.

"That's the girl in jeans?"

Lin Xiaojiao still shook his head.

"Is that the middle-aged uncle with the briefcase on his back?"

Lin Xiaojiao then shook his head.

"Xiaojiao, there are no other people waiting for people here, where is your friend, what do you say?"

Lin Xiaojiao stretched out his hand and slowly pointed to the black coupe parked on the side of the road, "Where ......"

"Where?" Lili looked in the direction Lin Xiaojiao pointed, "Where is there anyone, Xiaojiao, are you making any invisible friends? ”

Lin Xiaojiao suddenly smiled and said softly: "My friend is in that car." ”

Wu Nanyuan's face appeared in his mind, this was the first time Lin Xiaojiao thought of seeing him, not panicked, but happy and happy.

If it weren't for him, she would have been ridiculed by Lili to the point of being incomplete.

Lili sneered, "That car?"

"Hmm. ”

As if she had heard some big joke, Lili suddenly grabbed Lin Xiaojiao's hand and said, "Then I'll go down with you to meet your friends together." ”

"No need......" Wu Nanyuan's personality doesn't look like he likes to be lively and meet strangers.

"It's okay, I'm just going down to buy some food and come up, it's rare that we Xiaojiao also have friends, or friends who will drive a Porsche to the company, of course I want to go and see." "Lili was very welcoming.

But all she thought in her heart was: I see when you pretend, I will have to let you talk to the people in the car for a while, and you can brag about this kind of!

Lin Xiaojiao still refused, "But ......"

"Oh, don't be, it's really your friend I can't see, or are you lying, it's not your friend at all?"

With all that said, Lin Xiaojiao naturally couldn't continue to refuse, so he had to nod and agree.

I just hope that it would be better for Wu Nanyuan not to have a cold face for a while, otherwise...... She's still going to be embarrassed.
