Chapter 77 Fulfill the Promise
In the afternoon, I went out to buy a few side dishes and stewed pork rib soup, because I knew that Li Muchi liked to drink soup very much, which was specially prepared for him, and basically all the dishes were selected to his liking.
He came as promised after work, and brought me the umbrella that had been dropped before, and we had a good meal, and washed the fruit after dinner, and ate while watching TV.
This is a life similar to that with Zhou Mingchuan before, plain but very real, and I was still waiting for him to tell me the important things I mentioned before, but he still didn't say it.
I couldn't help but feel that I was making myself amorous, how could a man as good as him really like me, maybe he was just kind to me out of sympathy and a little guilt, after all, he used me first.
He left at nine o'clock, and I think if he didn't take the initiative to find me, I probably wouldn't have invited him to my house again, and even if we did, it would only be a greeting.
In the evening, Li Sisi called me and said that she couldn't hold on any longer, and she was thinking of resigning every minute, but when she thought of losing money for breach of contract, she felt that the company was cheap, and she was so entangled.
Then he said that I was not righteous enough, and when I resigned, I didn't greet her, I just left, leaving her alone, and I was reluctant to accompany her for a few more days.
Anyway, she kept complaining, and finally I fell asleep in the middle of her complaints, and I bet she would never go until the contract expired, and this is the Liss I knew.
And as I turned out to be right, on Thursday, the third day after answering the call, she showed up at my place of work with a smile on her face.
Throwing the bag on my desk, she said to me excitedly, "Lulu, we can look up and see you again in the future, haha......"
"Really?" I raised my eyes, but instead of looking at her, I looked at Jin Yebai.
Since I came to work on Tuesday, he doesn't talk to me anymore, he doesn't pour me water, even if I don't take a sip of water all day.
"Of course, I'm going to work here too, and I'm going to have to work hard to get back the compensation I lost at that broken company. Li Sisi mentioned that the black line on the face of the company before broke out, as if he wanted to kill someone.
"Hehe......" I laughed dryly, noncommittal, if Jin Yebai and Song Qingya thought the same and didn't want me to continue to stay here, then where would I have the opportunity to look up and see Li Sisi without looking down?
When Li Sisi was noisy, Jin Yebai opened his mouth as if he couldn't stand it, "Zhenting, it's okay now, why don't you take your girlfriend out for a walk and get familiar with the surrounding environment, I will take Meng Lu to dinner at noon." ”
Li Sisi didn't notice Jin Yebai's slightly unhappy expression at this time, and waved his hand angrily, "No, no, no, anyway, I work with Zhenting every day, where I need to be familiar with what environment, even if I lose myself, he will definitely be able to find it." ”
Jin Yebai has always liked to be quiet, as his good buddy, how could Lu Zhenting not know, when he heard this, he immediately turned off the computer and stood up, and walked quickly to Li Sisi's side.
He took her hand and smiled in his eyes, "Sisi, I'll take you out to play, there's a big shopping mall here, let's go buy some snacks and eat when we come back to work." ”
"Really?" As soon as Li Sisi was a foodie, his eyes immediately lit up when he heard this, and he was about to leave with Lu Zhenting, but when he walked to the door, he suddenly paused and looked back at me, "Lulu, what do you want to eat, I'll bring it to you." ”
I smiled, and the lion said, "Whatever, just give me half of what you bought." ”
"The beauty of thinking. Li Sisi gave me a blank look, and finally pulled Lu Zhenting out.
I got up and closed the door, looked up at Jin Yebai, and asked calmly, "They have already left, what do you want to say to me, you can say it now." ”
"Besides, at lunch, I still have a little bit to do. Jin Yebai said, "While he is not busy now, it is good to let Zhenting accompany Li Sisi more, when the time comes, he will be the only one left who wants to accompany him and will not have time." ”
Not only did he choose Song Qingya, but he also wanted to give up this company, that woman's ability is really big enough, what is the origin of it? I couldn't help but tremble.
"When are you going to leave, go on your honeymoon after getting married, and never come back?" I asked with deep disappointment and a thick vinegar look.
"That's what she plans, but don't worry, I will try my best to handle the company's affairs before I leave, you can help Zhenting more in the future, Li Sisi's ability is not as strong as yours, if you stay, you will be a good helper for Zhenting." ”
"Then thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jin!" I replied lukewarmly, with a bit of anger in my tone.
Jin Yebai was obviously stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at me, I immediately avoided his gaze, lowered my head and pretended to look at the computer, and he didn't speak again.
At noon, he wanted to take me out to eat, but I refused for the first time, and asked Zhang Yi to help order a takeout, and even the meal was eaten in the office outside, but he never left the office, and I didn't hear him order.
Zhang Yi took advantage of the meal to ask me, whether Lu Zhenting is going to marry Li Sisi, I don't know this, I can only shake my head, and then she asked me if I have a conflict with Jin Yebai, the two of them have been looking a little strange recently.
Even an employee found out about the problem between me and Jin Yebai, either the problem was too serious, or Zhang Yi's eyes were too sharp and he had a strong gossip heart.
I didn't want to talk to anyone about Jin Yebai, so I avoided answering, and then changed the topic, hurriedly finished eating and went back to the office, continuing to face the person in front of me who was the most familiar but felt strange at the moment.
Is the most familiar stranger referring to me and him now?
I was full of food and drink, and he was still in the office, so I pretended not to care and asked, "Aren't you going to eat?" Or will your girlfriend bring you a love lunch?"
"How are you and Li Muchi doing now, did you go to the class reunion to see Zhou Mingchuan that night?" he didn't even raise his head, he asked while staring at the computer, and didn't answer my words at all.
"It's fine. "But at best, it's just fine, I still don't know what he thinks, and I can't see through any of the men around me.
"He's not bad, if you think it's okay, you might as well try to be together, so I'll be relieved." Jin Yebai raised his head at this time.
I frowned, and asked angrily: "Who am I with and what does it matter to you? You can take care of your own affairs, my marriage and love are my own decisions, and I don't need you to eat radishes and worry about it." ”
"I'm sorry, but I'm too much of a manager. Jin Yebai's expression was a little hurt, and I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, what the hell is going on between us?
"Jin Yebai, how much do you love Song Qingya?" I've always wanted to ask this question, but I just couldn't ask it, I didn't have the courage, I was afraid that I would cry out when I heard the answer.
"Do you women like to ask such boring questions?" Jin Yebai avoided answering, "If love can be measured more or less, then what is love?"
"Count me as talkative. "I'm even more upset, why do women like to ask this kind of question, don't they men want to know how much the other person loves him?
However, in Song Qingya, I didn't see how much love she had for Jin Yebai, she gave me the feeling that she was just going to occupy him, for fear that I would rob people.
Jin Yebai is a person, not a thing, how can I say that I can rob it, just like Zhou Mingchuan, if he hadn't chosen Meng Shuwei himself, would I have lost him?
So about Jin Yebai, it's not a question between me and Song Qingya now, but it depends on his choice, but it's obvious that he chose Song Qingya, and he can't even be friends with me.
Someone once said that there may be a few women who don't eat in this world, but there is not a single woman who is not jealous, Jin Yebai is so good to me, everything is for my sake, if anyone is Song Qingya, they will be jealous, even myself.
At noon that day, because I didn't agree to go out to eat with Jin Yebai, he ended up hungry for a meal, and I even heard his stomach rumbling in the afternoon.
Lu Zhenting didn't bring Li Sisi back until after four o'clock, which was what I expected, shopping with Li Sisi for less than five hours would definitely not be able to pass the time, not to mention that they still had lunch.
Li Sisi came back with a large bag of snacks and threw them on my desk, I picked out a few things that could fill my stomach and brought them to Jin Yebai, and he ate them very unceremoniously.
Lu Zhenting immediately turned on the computer after he came back, and then exclaimed, "Yebai, you are really fast, I have only been out for a while, and you have finished my work, it seems that I will not be able to come to the company in the future, you can use one person as two people." ”
Jin Yebai's expression froze, and he glanced at Lu Zhenting, "What you think is beautiful, this is to call me as an animal?"
He actually made a joke, which was so unexpected to me, I haven't even seen him smile in the past few days, and he has a blank face all day long.
Looking at his rare gentle smile, I couldn't help but feel that no wonder he had been busy even at noon, it turned out that he was doing Lu Zhenting's job, just so that Lu Zhenting could spend more time with Li Sisi.
It turns out that he is not only good to me, but also to others, I am really lucky to find such a friend in my life, so Song Qingya wants me to be luckier than me, because what she gets is his whole person.
I finally understood why Song Qingya was so possessive of Jin Yebai, such a man, once he fell in love, who would want to let him lose it?
I won't do it if I change it!
After Li Sisi resigned, there was no more desk in the office, because she sat directly next to Lu Zhenting with a notebook, and the two shared the same table, which not only saved money for buying a desk, but also saved space.
Because of the chatter in the office, the atmosphere was no longer as dull as before, but in front of Jin Yebai, she also restrained herself, talking less than in the previous company, and only talking more during breaks.
Li Sisi is oblivious to everything on weekdays, only in the matter of eating, she remembers more firmly than anyone else, no, everyone goes to work quietly, and she suddenly opened the conversation.
"Lulu, do you remember something?" she looked at me with a mysterious expression, grabbed a pack of pickled pepper phoenix feet and threw it over.
I immediately opened it and stuffed it into my mouth, chewing the phoenix claws and asked her vaguely, "Give me a reminder first, otherwise how do I know what it is?"
"You said at the beginning that when you get divorced, you will invite us to your house to have a meal, and you will cook it yourself. Li Sisi also tore open a packet himself, first handed a paw to Lu Zhenting's mouth, and then began to eat it himself.
"Did I say this?" I saw that the three of them were eating, only Jin Yebai lowered his head and worked seriously, originally wanted to go over and give him something to eat, but thinking that the things had already stained my saliva, and our current relationship, I dispelled the idea.
I thought that Jin Yebai was only dedicated to work, and he didn't listen to our boring topic, but I didn't expect his words to come out, so he answered, "I said!"
Li Sisi grinned, "What's the matter? It's not like I'm cheating on you, someone is there, say, when are you going to cook for us?" I heard that your cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds. ”
"Who did you listen to?" My cooking skills have indeed improved a lot, but Li Sisi hasn't eaten my cooking for a long time, and neither do Lu Zhenting and Jin Yebai, where did she hear about it?
Li Sisi smiled meaningfully, "Li Muchi, haven't you cooked for him several times? Don't think that if you don't tell it, I won't know what happened between you." ”
"Do you have a private connection?" This is simply a bolt from the blue, the relationship between me and Li Muchi has not yet been determined, and Li Sisi is so close to him.
"Then it goes without saying, you found me this good man, I have to check it for you, lest I meet any scumbags and sluts again, I will feel distressed. "Liss said it for granted, but I was embarrassed to hear it.
A Jin Yebai arranged everything for me and made me speechless, but I didn't expect that there would be one more Li Sisi now, do they want to be my guardian spontaneously?
Seeing that we were chatting happily, Lu Zhenting also joined the topic, raised his head and asked me with a smile, "I also remember that there is such a thing, or just pick a day and everyone will have a good gathering at your house." ”
"I've just thought about the day, it's New Year's Day, let's call Li Muchi to go out to buy ingredients together during the day, and let Lulu cook for us with him at night, take the opportunity to see their tacit understanding, how about it, my idea is good, right?"
"Do you want to call him?" I almost cried, Li Sisi, this little elf, don't you know what it means to be embarrassed?And the most important thing is that we are not boyfriend and girlfriend now, and it is not certain that people will come or not.
"Good. Jin Yebai spoke again at this time, a word like gold, so that I was powerless to refute, his words were the most direct order to me.
"Then do you want to bring Song Qingya with you? But she's such a noble person, I'm afraid she can't look down on my unpopular cooking skills, right?" My meaning is obvious, I don't want Song Qingya to come too.
"She's not coming. Jin Yebai's words made my hanging heart immediately relax.
"Well, it's about New Year's Day. "I really have nothing to do with myself, if I hadn't taken the initiative to commit that day, I wouldn't have today's difficulties, let alone those things that followed.
Chinese people are becoming more and more fond of some Western festivals, such as the upcoming Christmas, so they can see Santa Claus on the streets, large and small shopping malls.
I thought that I had long passed that crazy age and would not be infected by this Western festival atmosphere anymore, and even I didn't like these festivals very much, because in my crazy youth, it was not Jin Yebai who accompanied me through this kind of festival.
Li Sisi is younger than me, and she has not experienced as much as me, she is so enthusiastic about Christmas that she even spent her own money to buy a small Christmas tree and put it at the entrance of the company, which makes the office also dyed a little bit of Christmas atmosphere.
Today is Christmas Eve, that is, the legendary Christmas Eve to eat apples and oranges, before it was time to get off work, Jin Yebai asked Lu Zhenting to take Li Sisi out to play, and he took over Lu Zhenting's work like last time.
I left on time to avoid being alone with him, while Jin Yebai continued to do things, after all, he had to do the work of two people, and it was reasonable to work overtime.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a familiar person sitting on the sofa in the hall, it was Song Qingya, she should have come to Jin Yebai for the holiday.
In view of Jin Yebai's relationship, I took the initiative to say hello to her, she smiled at me, I said goodbye and left the office building.
Back at the apartment, I didn't want to cook at all, there were fireworks outside from time to time, but none of them were lit for me, and I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
I remember when I was in college, Zhou Mingchuan set off fireworks for me once, bought them with his scholarship, and I showed them in front of Jin Yebai several times for this matter.
So at the end of the year, Jin Yebai called me out of the house at night and lit fireworks for me in the square, so that they bloomed in the night sky for the most beautiful moment.
At the time, I thought it was very romantic, but now I just feel wasted, it seems that I am really old, I no longer have that passion, let alone the strength to love someone, I even feel that my heart has been lost, and I can no longer find it.
When I was standing in front of the window with great emotion, there were fireworks rising outside the window, and they were very close to me, and it seemed to be in front of the building, so I guessed that it might be a resident who was playing.
At this moment, the phone rang, I left the window to get the phone, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed when I saw that it was Li Muchi calling, how I hope Jin Yebai can call me at this time.
"Meng Lu, are you at home?" Li Muchi's words were a little excited.
"What's wrong?" Recently, I didn't go for a run under the pretext that the weather was too cold, so I haven't seen Li Muchi these days, and he rarely calls me, just occasionally sends WeChat.
