Chapter 5

Before becoming a regular, Lin Xiaojiao was the only intern in Chen Dan's group, and it was not the first time he had done it to help run errands and buy coffee.

Familiar with buying coffee for Chen Dan in the coffee shop downstairs, Lin Xiaojiao trotted all the way, but when he arrived at Chen Dan's office, he was still two minutes late.

Lin Xiaojiao handed the coffee to Chen Dan's desk, "Sister Dan, your coffee." ”

Chen Dan's first action was to glance at the wall clock on the wall.

Lin Xiaojiao immediately lowered his head, already ready to accept the scolding.

Sure enough, Chen Dan's unhappy voice followed in the next second, "Lin Xiaojiao, if you are not feeling well, you will continue to be hospitalized, since you have come to work, you must pay attention to work and plan your working hours." ”

“……”

"If I hadn't made small talk before, wouldn't I have been able to buy coffee before I went to work?"

This is almost 'scolding for the sake of scolding', Lin Xiaojiao nodded mechanically while silently chanting 'for the sake of life, for the sake of life' in his heart.

"Don't think that you can sit back and relax, our industry needs to make continuous progress, please spur yourself with higher requirements. ”

"I understand, I'll do it. ”

"Also, I'm not against you partying, but don't make it too late and affect tomorrow's work. After that, Chen Dan turned on the computer and stopped looking at Lin Xiaojiao, "You first go to understand the project that the group is currently responsible for, and go back to your place." ”

"Okay. ”

Although the colleagues did not squint, because they were in an open space, everyone heard Lin Xiaojiao's reprimand clearly.

As soon as Lin Xiaojiao sat down, Lili cast a sympathetic gaze, and leaned over to whisper by handing her the document bag: "She took explosives today, and she is so angry." ”

Chen Dan's temper is not just aimed at Lin Xiaojiao, three months after joining the company, Lin Xiaojiao has heard all kinds of dissatisfied complaints, and every time she does not make any remarks.

Lin Xiaojiao took the file bag, as usual, without squeaking.

With Chen Dan there, the office during working hours was exceptionally quiet, and after a while, Lin Xiaojiao was not surprised to hear the monologue of coffee: "A woman with menstrual pain is irritable, and she obviously wants everyone to call her to party together, and she wants to eat with her son." ”

Lin Xiaojiao was stunned for a while before digesting the words she heard that subverted all her previous perceptions of Chen Dan.

Chen Dan is suffering from menstrual cramps?

I didn't show the slightest discomfort at all.

I don't want to be close to everyone, but I'm actually looking forward to everyone's invitation?

Especially she has always been a career-oriented strong woman, rarely mentioning her family, and it turns out that she is also a warm mother who wants to accompany her son.

Lin Xiaojiao was in a trance, and his long-term memories came to mind.

Her father, Lin Haiqiang, is a very ordinary factory worker, leaving early and returning late every day, while her mother is a supermarket camper.

There are not many fragments of getting along with her parents in her memory, at first she was looking forward to her mother's vacation, but gradually she began to be afraid of her mother's vacation.

When she was six or seven years old, she didn't have a desk at home, and the little Lin Xiaojiao always knelt on the chair of the dining table, writing homework on the dining table, and the kitchen was a few meters away, and her mother's broken chattering voice came to her ears clearly.

- "I don't know what kind of sins I have committed, so I take three or four days off a month, and when I rest, I have to serve big and small." ”

- "Except for going to work and taking care of children, I don't even have the opportunity to eat and play cards with friends." ”

After listening to it a lot, Lin Xiaojiao always subconsciously felt that he was just a burden to his parents.

She wanted to tell her mother that she could be alone and let her go to dinner and play cards, but she was afraid that her mother would really leave.

When she grew up, Lin Xiaojiao always felt that she was too stupid, if only she could ask her mother at that time if she would like to take her out with her.

Thinking of this, she had more understanding of Chen Dan, and she would not feel that Chen Dan's previous anger was inexplicable.

Lin Xiaojiao quietly glanced in the direction of Chen Dan, and a thought came to mind.

After a morning, Lin Xiaojiao, who hadn't been to work for too long, was not assigned any professional tasks, helping his colleagues sort out and file documents in the morning, and in the afternoon, colleagues went to a cooperative company to send materials and record feedback to Lin Xiaojiao.

Lin Xiaojiao nodded happily.

In fact, everyone has always been accustomed to Lin Xiaojiao's hard-working appearance, and they won't say anything, but Guozi's smile is a little more when she looks at her now...... I can't bear it.

So Guozi touched the back of his head and said, "If you don't want to go, I can go, you have just been discharged from the hospital, will your body be unbearable?"

Lin Xiaojiao nodded again and again. "Eat and eat, I want to go. ”

Of course she wants to go, this company is very close to the school of Chen Dan's son Chen Xingkai.

At noon, Lin Xiaojiao packed her lunch according to Chen Dan's request, and when she sent it over, she went to make a glass of brown sugar water.

When he touched the cup, the smell of brown sugar diffused on the tip of his nose, and it was visible to the naked eye that there were red dates floating on it, Chen Dan raised his head and looked at Lin Xiaojiao in surprise, "I didn't order this." ”

"This is what I just soaked, I want to ......" Some words almost blurted out, but Lin Xiaojiao pressed down in time, "I see that Sister Dan's face is not good, and it has cooled down again today, so I soaked this to warm up my blood." ”

The temperature of the brown sugar water spread from his fingers to Chen Dan's body, Lin Xiaojiao was not good at lying, Chen Dan was surprised, but he was still warmed by her slightly clumsy concern, and when he spoke again, his tone was unconsciously softer, "Well, where to put it." ”

Usually when I got here, the conversation was over, but Lin Xiaojiao didn't leave, his hands were folded, and his lips opened and closed.

Chen Dan: "Something?"

"I booked a western restaurant, which is aviation-themed, which is suitable for both parties and parents. ”

“……?”

"I'm going to the south of the city in the afternoon to deliver materials, and I remember Kaikai's school is also nearby. Lin Xiaojiao smiled slightly stiffly and said the prepared lines, "The children in this restaurant must like it very much, I will pick up Kaikai to come over for dinner after I send the materials." ”

“……”

"Sister Dan, let's bring Kai Kai to eat today's dinner. ”

As soon as Lin Xiaojiao's voice fell, it was not only Chen Dan staring at her, but the entire office subconsciously looked at her.

The atmosphere was inexplicably tense.

Chen Dan noticed it and said bluntly: "Don't go." ”

"Go Sister Dan, everyone wants you to go. Speaking of this, Lin Xiaojiao glanced sideways at the other colleagues in the office, "Right, everyone?"

Everyone:......

Originally, although their ears were listening to the gossip, they were pretending not to care, and their colleagues who were busy with their own affairs had to turn their heads and look at it.

It's a ghost!

If Chen Dan goes, it will just be a change of place to work overtime.

The colleague complained bitterly in his heart, and after looking at each other, he could only open his mouth and echo: "Yes, yes, what Xiaojiao said is right, Sister Dan, you should go." ”

Lin Xiaojiao was close, and looked at Chen Dan's eyelids blinked slightly, she felt that she was not far from victory, and hurriedly said: "Then it's decided, I will be hospitalized as soon as I turn positive, and it will definitely increase everyone's workload, Sister Dan will go with us tonight to relax and relax." ”

"I'm not interested in this kind of party. Chen Dan had a hard mouth.

"I'll pick up Kai Kai, if Kai Kai wants to go, Sister Dan will come along, okay?"

Lin Xiaojiao said everything to Chen Dan's heart, she pretended to be impatient to open the lunch box, but there was a shallow smile on the corner of her lips, and her tone became soft, "I really can't help you, let's use this kind of persistence in my work in the future." ”

"I'll do my best!"

Lin Xiaojiao turned around and returned to his seat, as far as his eyes could see, the expressions of his colleagues were so complicated that it was difficult to explain.

I also ate dynamite in the morning, like a female devil, just ...... It's become mild?

Wouldn't you be inexplicably angry and torment them that afternoon?

But when I thought of having dinner together at night, I still resisted in my heart, but I couldn't help but sigh: Lin Xiaojiao is worthy of a koi physique.

When I was discharged from the hospital, it was like a different person.

--

Perhaps mixed with personal memories and feelings, Lin Xiaojiao was very keen to let Chen Dan bring his son to the evening party.

seems to make up for the regrets of his childhood.

The cooperative company is only two bus stops away from Chen Xingkai's school, and Lin Xiaojiao rushed to the school after finishing work.

Except for knowing that Chen Xingkai was eight years old and studying in the second grade of Hongguang Primary School, Lin Xiaojiao didn't know anything, he didn't know what he looked like, after all, Chen Dan usually rarely mentioned private matters, even if she was a single mother, Lin Xiaojiao also learned from the private gossip and gossip of colleagues.

Nowadays, due to the fact that parents are generally busy, most students will have an extra interest class at school after school at 3:30.

Lin Xiaojiao arrived at four o'clock, and at this time there were already many eager parents standing at the school gate, she chose the corner position, and called Chen Xingkai's head teacher according to the number given by Chen Dan.

Lin Xiaojiao stared at the school gate, and kept silently thinking in his heart what he was going to say when he saw Chen Xingkai.

At four o'clock in the afternoon of October, the sun had just set in the west, and Lin Xiaojiao stood in the warm sunlight and looked around, as if a large cloud had floated around her, shrouding her in a shadow.

Then a deep male voice came from his ears, "It's you again." ”

Lin Xiaojiao was startled, and turned his head to a good-looking face, his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and his dark eyes stared at her.

After being stunned for three seconds, this face coincided with the other face in my mind.

Wasn't that the man she had met in the hospital before?

I didn't expect to meet again, and he still remembers himself.

So Lin Xiaojiao nodded happily, "It's me, hello." ”

Hearing the sound, the man had a look of 'I know', his chin was slightly tilted, revealing a well-defined jawline, his brows were stretched, the corners of his lips were pursed into an indifferent straight line, and he said, "Don't follow me anymore." ”

Ten minutes ago, he came out of a nearby office building, and he happened to see her, and a side face made him feel a little familiar, so his eyes stopped curiously.

Is that the 'lightning koi'?

Like but not like.

has a similar look, but her body shape is completely different, her whole person is a little smaller, and she is also ...... It's a lot prettier.

So he came closer, and spoke with a five-point determination and five points of temptation.

"Huh?"

"I can't do it with you. ”

“…… What?"

The man took a step back, as if to draw a line, and said, "I don't like you, I can't have anything with you, don't inquire about me anymore, and don't follow me." Even if you lose weight for me, it's useless. ”

Lin Xiaojiao: ???

Did she inquire about him?

She stalks him?

She lost weight for him?

Is it crazy, strictly speaking, she doesn't know him at all!

She didn't even know his name!
