Jing Yao turned around and ran and disappeared into the night, the strength I pretended to be collapsed at the last moment, sitting on the steps by the pool, picking up the beer and pouring it into my neck, the beer mixed with tears flowed down my face and into the clothes, Lu Yuxin took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to me, sitting next to me and quietly accompanying me.

Putting down the empty bottle, I took the tissue handed over by Lu Yuxin, wiped the liquid on my face, and bowed my head to say thank you.

Seeing that the paper didn't completely wipe away the tears on my face, Lu Yuxin gave me another one, I took it again, and asked while wiping it, "Didn't you come to me to ask for the 10,000 yuan?"

"It's not. Lu Yuxin explained: "Recently, I have been under a lot of work pressure, and my mother and I used to live next to the ancient town, and often accompanied her to the ancient town for a walk at night. ”

"I've let you down, haven't I?" I looked into the distance and asked, "If I told you that I was going to hand over the 10,000 yuan to the treasury, would you believe it?" After saying that, I felt that I didn't believe it, so I picked up a bottle of beer and smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Forget it, you didn't say it to me, who would believe this kind of thing?"

Lu Yuxin asked softly, "Have you received the notice from the Personnel Department?"

"Roger. I drank wine and said to Lu Yuxin: "I received it before I got off work, and I also knew that it was Cao Youwei who secretly photographed me." ”

"I know. Lu Yuxin replied naturally.

I continued: "The 10,000 yuan I put in the drawer was also taken by Cao Youwei. ”

"I know that too. Lu Yuxin looked at me and said, "Cao Youwei handed over the money to the company's legal counsel. ”

"Legal ...... Heh!" I laughed heartlessly at this moment, "Are you going to sue me?

"Silently ......" Lu Yuxin ignored my question, but chose to comfort me and said: "Actually, I understand, I can understand these things happening, you also want to open something, it's nothing." ”

I took out a cigarette and lit it for myself, looked down at the cigarette butt in my hand and smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "What a drama!" I suddenly went to a five-star hotel security department as the head of the department, full of ambition to take this department well, on the third day of taking office before it was dark, I was dismissed for taking bribes, hehe...... "The more I talked, the more ridiculous I felt, "I also know that I was calculated by Cao Youwei, who let me parachute to the top of his head, blocking his way to promotion and wealth?" It's really ridiculous to think about it, I'm like a stupid fork, thinking that I came to step on the colorful clouds to make a big difference, but I played myself to death within three days, maybe in Cao Youwei's eyes, he never regarded me as a threat. ”

"Maybe!" Lu Yuxin said in a low voice: "Compared with them, you are indeed too young, I brought you into Dikai completely in the hope that you can have a good job, but I didn't expect to end up like this." ”

"Thank you. I got up and said to Lu Yuxin: "I don't blame you for this, blame me for being too young, blame me for not being capable, blame me for thinking too complicated about this society, thank you for helping me out tonight, thank you." After speaking, I carried half a bottle of beer and walked leisurely towards the exit of the ancient town square.

It's really hard to wander around this impersonal city and find a touch of warmth. Jing Yao's beautiful face loomed in front of me, and the elongated figure of the street lamp reminded me that I was alone and enjoying the loneliness of this night.

It was already half past eleven o'clock in the evening when I returned to the Dianchi Spring Community, and I walked back from Guandu Ancient Town, walked for more than an hour, blew the wind for more than an hour, and cleared my mind.

Lin Yifei shook her head and said with a slight loss: "I resigned." ”

"Resigned?" I suddenly wanted to laugh, looked at Lin Yifei and said, "I was also fired today, I just finished drinking to celebrate, do you want to celebrate too?"

Lin Yifei glared at me with resentful eyes and said to me: "I'm not joking with you, I really resigned today, shouldn't I be disappointed if I don't have a job?

"Sad?" the corners of my mouth rose slightly, and I said disdainfully: "Resignation is not very sad for me at all, some heartache is more heartbreaking, you should be more relaxed than me, after all, you are resigning, I am expelled...... By the way, why did you quit?"

Lin Yifei closed her suitcase and said: "Last month, our department had a dinner, and the department leader did something to me that night, suggesting that I would go to the hotel with him at night, and I refused him, and since then, he has been looking for trouble for me everywhere at work, and today's salary last month, I found that I was inexplicably deducted a lot of money, and then I decided to resign." ”

"And then?" I asked, "will you quit your job and get a new job?"

"I'm tired. Lin Yifei sat on her bed and lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "I want to go home, I think my mother made dumplings for me, and she made hand-rolled dough ......" As she spoke, Lin Yifei's tears fell out.

I was originally leaning against the door frame of the second bedroom, and when I saw Lin Yifei crying, I turned around and took a few tissues on the coffee table in the living room and sent them to the bedroom, sat cross-legged on the ground and comforted Lin Yifei and said: "Don't cry, after crying, we don't have to face tomorrow's life, life will not be gentle with us because we cry." ”

"I miss my mother......" Lin Yifei sat on the edge of the bed and cried louder, "I want to go home, I want my mother to hug me." ”

I sighed lightly, stood up from the ground, didn't know where I got the courage, took Lin Yifei in my arms, stroked her back and said, "Just pretend to be your dearest person to give you a big hug, really don't cry, I'll invite you to supper, okay?"

Lin Yifei didn't speak, but I could feel her sobbing gently in my arms, I took a deep breath, and said to myself: "Let's go, wipe the tears on your face, I'll take you downstairs to eat some barbecue, life is so unsatisfactory, we all have to learn to be happy." ”

This time Lin Yifei did not object, left my arms, pulled a few pieces of paper from the bedside table, got up while wiping her tears, followed me downstairs to the roadside supper stall to eat barbecue, ordered some meat skewers, Lin Yifei sat at the small table and looked at me and asked, "Can you order a bottle of beer for me?"

I grabbed a bottle of beer that I had just opened and asked, "Do you want to drink it?"

Lin Yifei hesitated, nodded her head, and said to me, "Pour me a glass." After finishing speaking, Lin Yifei hesitated again and said cautiously: "If I'm drunk, can you take me home?"
