Chapter 20: Politeness and restraint
Everyone is unique to themselves, and everyone's life is to be lived by themselves. No one can copy your life, but someone can dictate your life. Adopt or ignore it, it's your own life.
And in a person's life, there will always be a lot of scenery, some people without a trace from your world like a feather, like drifting snow, you find it, want to leave it, but look back but can't even find a shadow;
Adult life is boring and boring, and the unbearable emotions of the night are forgotten after dawn, and the next day's work still has to continue.
At noon, the meal ordered by Shi Yue for Li An arrived, and when it was brought in, Li An looked at her expressionless and excited, and wanted to comfort her but didn't know where to start.
Just looked at Shi Yue, who didn't do much makeup before, and began to learn to make up, but the dark circles and red and swollen eyes that still couldn't be covered sighed in my heart.
It's good to get through it, and to get through it is to grow.
It's just that Shi Yue didn't order anything to eat, and from work to now, he was either in a meeting or on the way to a meeting, and he didn't even drink water. The stronger Shi Yue was at this time, the more sad Li An felt.
In the relationship, who is not like this. The more you have, the more you don't want to lose, even if you know that the end is just around the corner, but you cover your eyes and don't believe it, even if you deceive yourself, you can only boil it yourself.
If so, three days.
At 8:50 a.m. on Friday, when the access card was swiped in the hallway of the office building, Li An ran into Shi Yue, who first greeted Li An with a smile and said good morning.
Li An nodded in reply, and then went in one after the other. After entering the elevator, Li Ang realized that the state of Shi Yue was not the same today.
Compared with the previous two days, my state is much more relaxed, and my speech is much easier, and I am no longer lifeless and absent-minded.
When entering the elevator, Li An took a general look, and the reason for the difference could be seen at a glance in the state of Shi Yue today, it should probably be that she has always been without makeup, and she has made up today.
Very elaborate makeup.
The neatly trimmed willow eyebrows, the long eyelashes that are rich and upturned, the light pale pink eyeshadow, and the double eyelids that were originally double also look very clear, Danfeng eyes. The long, silky hair, untied and freely draped on the sides of the cheeks, revealed a fair forehead. Pink cheeks, lipstick lips.
The whole person seems to be reborn from the fire, bright and moving.
With the arrival of the elevator layer by layer, there are also a little bit of people. Shi Yue followed Li An to the top floor by elevator. At 12 o'clock last night, when Da Fei was in Europe at about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, Da Fei, Li An, and several other company executives and directors held a short high-level meeting, briefly describing the European project, and roughly explaining the matter of being cut off.
Then today, as soon as Ang Li went to work, he went to his own office on the top floor, instead of the office of the director of the investment department on the eighteenth floor, which soon no longer belonged to him.
At the meeting yesterday, someone raised questions about Shi Yue's multiple positions, and Ang Lee also seconded the proposal, which was indeed a little too busy, and Da Fei agreed to entrust the headhunting company to find a suitable candidate as soon as possible.
When he got out of the elevator, Li An said to Shi Yue with a smile: "Today's makeup is very beautiful, it suits you very well." ”
Shi Yue was stunned for a moment, squinted her eyes and replied, "Thank you." ”
Li An entered the office, turned on the computer first, and rummaged through the file shelves for the documents that were put last time. Shi Yue came in with coffee, and Li Ang would drink a cup of coffee when he first came to work in the morning, and in the past few days, Shi Yue basically figured out Li An's habits.
When Shi Yue put the coffee on the table, Li An's hand, Li An said while looking at the documents: "By the way, I told you before, I need to go to Macau for a few days on a business trip tomorrow, and I came to see that you are not in a good state, and I want to give you a few days off, let you rest for a few days, and adjust." ”
Shi Yue smiled and said, "No need, my personal affairs have been settled, and I am naturally competent for my work." Thank you Mr. Li for your concern. ”
Li An raised his head and glanced at Shi Yue, then lowered his head again, thinking that Shi Yue's state seemed to be adjusted well today: "That's okay, the time to go to Macau this time is not tight, and the workload is not large, you should be relaxed when you go along." ”
"Well, that's it, see you at the airport tomorrow. You go get busy. ”
When he is not familiar, Ang Lee seems to be polite and detached from anyone, with a faint sense of distance in his cordiality, and he talks few and coldly. After getting along for a long time and getting acquainted with each other, Ang Lee has some potential to talk.
Shi Yue nodded and went out: "Okay, Mr. Li." ”
Looking at Shi Yue, who hadn't spoken well for several days, returned to normal today, and started to call Mr. Li again, Li An squinted and shook his head. Politeness is distance, restraint is retreat.
Her words that night still made her sober up a lot, but she seemed to be faintly lost in her heart.
At noon, they didn't eat the food ordered from the company anymore, Li An and Shi Yue went downstairs to eat, and went to the restaurant downstairs where they often eat.
At lunchtime, Shi Yue didn't keep such an estranged distance from Li An as she did when she went to work, and said with a smile: "Then you're welcome." ”
Li An waited to see her order casually, but found that Shi Yue only ordered a simple home-cooked dish, a sour and hot shredded potatoes, a scrambled egg with sharp peppers, and then asked for a few cakes. Then he gave the menu to Ang Lee with a smile, and Ang Lee added a soup and corn soup and handed it to the waiter.
Then Li An heard Shi Yue ask the waiter: "You guys, do you have cherry tomatoes in the fruit bowl here, that is, small tomatoes." ”
The waiter nodded in response, and Shi Yue asked someone to bring one over.
While waiting for the food to be served, Shi Yue asked Li An: "Why do you like to eat cherry tomatoes, it doesn't mean anything else, it's just curiosity, pure curiosity." ”
Li An looked at her with a smile: "Do you know that curiosity kills cats." ”
Shi Yue held her chin with both hands, noncommittal: "Isn't it that the food hasn't come up yet, just wait for boredom, just gossip, gossip, hehe." ”
Li An put down the phone, put down his stilted legs, and rubbed his right hand against his temple: "Speaking of this, I don't know why, if you want to say the reason, it may be when I was a child." ”
Shi Yue put her hands on her cheeks, staring at Li An with big eyes without blinking, a picture of being ready to listen to the story, Li An smiled dumbly.
"You also know, Da Fei is my senior, right, we are still fellow countrymen, don't you know. ”
Shi Yue shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Li An continued: "I am also from the mall, I lived with my grandparents when I was very young, I lived in the countryside, I think about it a long time ago, of course I couldn't be hungry at that time, there was food and drink, but it was not as convenient as you live in the city, so willful, you can eat whatever you want. ”
Shi Yue interrupted: "Don't you, I also lived in the countryside with my grandmother when I was a child." ”
Li An snorted and laughed: "Don't interrupt, do you still want to listen, if you don't want to listen, just wait to eat." ”
Shi Yue immediately covered her mouth and motioned for you to continue, I don't speak.
"At that time, I was also well-fed, warmly fed, and had no worries about food and clothing. It was at that time that when I went to the street to buy something to eat, it seemed that I saw small tomatoes for the first time, and when I was a child, I asked my grandmother, and my grandmother said that it was called small tomatoes, and later I learned that there was a scientific name called cherry tomatoes,"
"I pestered my grandmother for a long time, but my grandmother didn't buy them for me to eat, because she wanted to buy tomatoes, and my grandmother said that the big and small ones shouldn't be eaten the same, and the big ones could also be cooked, so I didn't buy them. ”
"Later, it seems that after a few days, I forgot about it, and once, my grandfather secretly bought a lot of cherry tomatoes and came back for me to eat, and I was very happy, but my grandmother found out. But grandma didn't discipline me, nor did she say grandpa, that is, I bought everything, you can eat enough, but only this once, not for example. ”
"But I didn't eat enough, I can't remember how much I ate that day, I know a lot, I didn't eat anything, and then every time my grandmother went out to buy something, she would buy more or less for me to eat. ”
The waiter came over with a fruit bowl, interrupting Ang Lee's narration and interrupting his memories, Ang Lee pinched one, and the freshly washed cherry tomatoes could clearly see the plump and bright flesh sticking to the water droplets, crystal clear.
"Then my parents took me away, and on the day I went to Nanjing, my grandmother said to me, go over there, you can eat as much as you want to eat the little tomatoes, and let your father buy a lot of them, whatever you want. ”
Li An smiled and said with a grin, but his voice became lower and lower: "Since then, I have rarely eaten this, it seems that I don't like to eat it since that day." ”
Shi Yue looked at the cherry tomatoes in Li An's hand: "Then you now?"
Li An smiled and put the cherry tomatoes in his hand into his mouth, enjoying and eating it very much: "Now, because I think it's really delicious now." ”
