Everything was just as the caterpillar said, but at the beginning of the afternoon, the news that she was going to transfer to me spread word for word, and it reached my ears word for word.

"It's an anomaly to get a message that travels too fast or too slowly. ”

Zhang Sheng, who had worked hard to walk to the aisle to bask in the sun, came back with a chair after less than five minutes of sunbathing, and said to me while dragging.

Three hours ago, the statistics center sent a message that the new round of report data of various departments must be sent back to the headquarters in the form of an email before the end of work today.

Since he broke his leg, Zhang Sheng's work enthusiasm seems to have been thrown out of the way, and he either sits down or mops a chair to bask in the aisle all day long.

Say yes, calcium supplementation is good fast.

This kind of lie is suitable for deceiving three-year-olds.

I don't want to get into an argument with an injured or sick person, because that would show that I lack basic compassion and tolerance for the elderly, the sick, and the disabled.

"Uh, yes. "It's so much to live that I'm a little absent-minded when I reply.

"Why don't you ask why?"

Zhang Sheng dragged the chair to the tea table and put it down, and began to boil water to make tea.

I smiled perfunctorily, "Why?"

“…… I saw you at noon while eating in the cafeteria. In the sizzling sound of the kettle, Zhang Shengmu thoughtfully unscrewed the tea can, gently twisted a few tea leaves with his right index finger and thumb, and shook his fingers again, and the tea leaves were all shaken into a white mug: "You like potatoes very much? I see that you have made a serving of shredded potatoes and a stewed braised pork with potatoes." ”

"Uh," I paused from the burnt bell, "you didn't come home for dinner today?"

"My mother-in-law and my father-in-law let people take them back to the countryside early in the morning to drink the wedding wine, and for convenience, they went to the canteen. Zhang Sheng waited for the water to boil for a while, she lifted the kettle and poured a cup: "Tea, do you want it?" asked without looking back.

"Don't. I replied quickly.

"Oh," Zhang Sheng sat down comfortably holding the cup, lowered her head and blew on the mouth of the cup, and after a few times, she buried her head shallowly, making it impossible to see the expression on her face: "My son is also like you, he likes to eat potatoes." He likes to eat my mother's potato stewed duck the most, and says that my grandmother's craftsmanship is better than my mother's. My mom will come to see me in the afternoon, would you like to come to my house for dinner? Can you help me comment on whether my mom's potato stewed duck is a waste or a deserved?"

"Tonight...... I'm afraid not. I hesitantly declined Zhang Sheng's invitation: "I seem to need to work overtime." ”

"You have to eat even if you work overtime. Going to the canteen is to eat, and going to my house is also to eat, not to mention, if you really have to calculate it, my home is the same distance as the canteen, and not necessarily going to my house will delay you more time. ”

"That's what I said......"

"Or," Zhang Sheng interrupted me loudly, "do you prefer to eat the cake given by Mao Riveting to potatoes?"

Sure enough, I saw it.

I don't know why, at the moment when the matter was clarified, the originally nervous heart was like a plane that was about to be destroyed and died suddenly landed safely, but I was relieved.

"If this is a kind reminder, I'd be happy to explain. If this is a trigger that we no longer have trust in each other, then I have nothing to say. ”

After I finished my point of view in a sonorous voice, I leaned over and picked up a blue clip in the corner of the table with the contact numbers of the various departments. Without hesitation, I turned directly to the third page, found the procurement department that reported the data was not detailed enough, dialed over, and no one answered. Go back to the second page and easily find the finance department in the top corner where the data has not yet been reported.

The other party took it.

I succinctly conveyed the latest instructions issued by the statistics center, and asked them to report the data before leaving work.

Fortunately, it was not Mo Xiaoyan, the deputy manager of the finance department, who answered the phone, otherwise, my invitation would have been ridiculed by her arrogance and rudeness.

"When did the finance department enter the new people?" I hung up the phone, and said in a good mood: "I am so flattered that you will still say thank you to me." ”

After waiting for three or five minutes, and not getting the expected response, I realized that Zhang Sheng and I were still in a cold war.

We didn't say a word until the end of the day. Come to think of it, she chose the latter of the choices I gave.

I had a headache and pressed the corner of my forehead.

As soon as my mood showed signs of relaxation, there was a sudden slam on the door, and I was so frightened that I bounced straight out of my chair.

"I heard that you are working overtime," the impolite knocker smiled and swaggered in with a bag, "I also heard that you worked overtime until you had time to eat." I can't allow my friends to be exploited and indifferent. After saying that, he shook the bag in his hand: "So, the angel sent me to bring you food." ”

A man who has time to flirt with a woman either has an interest in this woman, or, he has a request for her.

I guess it's the latter.

"It can't be a potato, right?" teased maliciously.

Chen Yifen smiled and cut off the bag, three cardboard boxes of different sizes and exquisite workmanship appeared in front of me, I looked at it with wide eyes, and the light in my eyes instantly dimmed a lot.

"I don't even know which cake shop the caterpillar bought, and you're really attentive to me. The ridicule turned into bitter sarcasm.

Chen Yifen was still smiling and did not look unhappy, he dragged Zhang Sheng's chair from the side of the tea table to my table, and then opened the boxes one by one. I glanced at it with my peripheral vision, and the smallest box was chocolate mousse, the second box was durian mille-feuille, and the last one was matcha mousse.

I felt the humiliation of being stripped naked, burning in my guts.

"Do you know how everyone is passing on you and Mao Riveting now?" Chen Yifen put one hand on the back of the chair, his smile was still there, but his eyes changed: "Say that the two of you are pit fairies." ”

"I'm not deaf, I know what happened out there. ”

"You think I'm tricking you?"

"Don't think I need to, facts speak louder than words, whether this is spread outside or you and Zhang Sheng pondered, you know better than me in your heart. ”

"When we parted in the morning, I remember you telling me very seriously, and no matter how much I asked, you would not say. Isn't that worth being questioned?"

"Doubt is not a flood beast, nor is it a wolf, a jackal, a tiger or a leopard, from a psychological point of view, it belongs to a kind of normal emotion. I can tell you quite frankly that I once doubted you. ”

"Why?" Chen was taken aback: "I don't think I have anything worth doubting. ”

I pouted and smiled, picked up the matcha mousse from the box and took a bite, human willfulness is always unprincipled preference for everything they like. For example, matcha cake. I ate something more than five hours ago, and I ate it more than five hours later, and I still ate the taste of happiness.

"Could you please take my questions seriously and attentively as you do with my cake? Chen Yifen snatched the cake from my hand in disgust: "Give me an answer first." ”

"Zhang Sheng said that you have a secret that no one knows. Having been robbed of the matcha, I had no choice but to bite into the durian, and the strong flavor made me almost think I was nibbling on the umami-tasting durian meat: "My secret is not something that can be bought with a few pieces of cake." Also, I prefer fair trading to buying. For example, exchange your secrets for mine. ”
