Xiao Nan hesitated for a moment, took the tissue handed by Han Zheng, turned his back to him and quickly wiped away his tears, and then hastily combed the messy hair on his forehead with the tips of his fingers, took two deep breaths, and felt that his emotions that had just gotten out of control calmed down slightly, and then turned to face Han Zheng.

"Thank you......" Xiao Nan lowered her head, trying to cover her slightly red and swollen eyes with her long bangs on her forehead.

"Uh...... No thanks, what, what happened to you just now?" Han Zheng asked worriedly. "You look like you're sad, I'm worried about ......"

"I'm fine, I don't have anything to do...... Xiao Nan shook his head vigorously: "Also, please don't tell anyone else in the company about this, okay?"

"I ...... Of course, I'm not going to go to the company and talk nonsense. But, are you really okay?I saw you just now......" Han Zheng's eyes clearly showed a worried look. "If there's anything I can do to help, just say, I'll ......"

"Thank you, I'm really fine. Xiao Nan didn't wait for Han Zheng to finish speaking, so he blocked back his words. "I know you're kind, but ......" Xiao Nan hooked a wisp of soft silk from his ear with his fingers behind his ear, pinned his face to the side and whispered: "Please, don't ask me again......, okay?"

Han Zheng wanted to hold her weak shoulders in his arms at this moment, comfort her softly, and tell her that no matter what kind of wind and rain, he would bear it with her...... However, Han Zheng also knew that Xiao Nan would not accept his comfort in this way now, so he could only stand aside like this, watching Xiao Nan's heartbroken expression but unable to do anything.

Han Zheng looked at Xiao Nan blankly, looking at her slightly red and swollen eyes hidden behind a long hair curtain. For a long time, he sighed softly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this......" Han Zheng said: "However, don't go upstairs if you look like this now, otherwise your colleagues in the company will see that you just cried...... Look, it's almost noon, why don't you wait for me down there, and I'll send the sample book upstairs, and then come down to you, and let's go have dinner together, okay?"

Xiao Nan didn't promise him, but she didn't refuse either, she just lowered her head and looked at her feet, not knowing what she was thinking at the moment. Han Zheng saw that Xiao Nan neither agreed nor objected, so he hurriedly struck while the iron was hot: "If you don't object, then you agree, then you just wait for me here, I'll be fast, ten minutes, I'll send the sample book up and come down immediately!"

Han Zheng didn't give Xiao Nan, who was a little depressed, a chance to figure out the situation, and after making a decision for Xiao Nan on his own initiative, he immediately ran upstairs with the sample book in his arms. When Xiao Nan saw Han Zheng walking away, the breath he had just held on was immediately discharged, and he squatted next to the street tree with his legs weak, only to feel that he was extremely tired from body to spirit, and he no longer had any strength.

Suddenly, the mobile phone in her pocket rang, Xiao Nan hurriedly took out the mobile phone and saw that it was a very unfamiliar number on the screen, who called? She quickly pinched her sleeve with her fingertips to wipe away the tears that had just resurfaced, cleared her throat and connected the phone.

"Hey ......"

"Hey, it's Cheng Xiaonan, I'm Lao Zhang of Top Printing. Lao Zhang is the director of the printing house, and Xiao Nan remembers that he left his mobile phone number to him. "Hello Director Zhang, I'm Cheng Xiaonan, you can say it......"

"Well, my work plan has been arranged, this afternoon at one o'clock start, it is estimated that a shift will be printed, the beginning of the trial printing is more important, if you are not at ease, it is best to rush to the factory before a little to stare at the print, when our master is coloring, you can watch the color difference on the side. ”

"Okay, I see, I'll be there before one o'clock. ”

"That's good. In addition, I have already informed Mr. Xue and Xu Hui from the company, you don't need to say hello to them anymore, just come to the factory directly in the afternoon. ”

"Okay. So be it, see you in the afternoon, bye-bye......"

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Nan stood up again with his hands on the tree. No matter what, life goes on, and work can't be delayed. Now the time is close to 12 o'clock at noon, it takes 40 minutes to rush to the printing house in the outer third ring road from here, and there is not much time left to eat and rest, in order to catch up with the printing press and start trial printing, it is best to set off to the factory now.

"Xiao Cheng!" Han Zheng ran back out of breath. This guy's physique is really not very good, and he can run straight out of breath in a few steps. "Okay, I've got it all done over there, where are we going to eat?"

"I'm sorry, I can't go to dinner with you......" Xiao Nan said to Han Zheng: "Director Zhang of the printing factory called me just now, and I had to rush to the printing factory at one o'clock in the afternoon to stare at their initial trial printing and color grading, so I have to set off now, and I'm afraid of delaying things if it's late." ”

"Uh...... Okay then......" Han Zheng nodded in disappointment. "But you have to eat something, work is important, and your body is also important. ”

"I know......" Xiao Nan lowered his head to avoid Han Zheng's eyes. "I'll just buy something on the road and make do with it, don't worry about me. You...... You go back to the company, I'm leaving......"

"That'...... Well, you stay safe on the road. ”

…………

……

Xiao Nan said goodbye to Han Zheng, launched his DIOZ4 from the underground parking lot, drove to the printing factory in the outer third ring road, bought a fried egg and a bag of milk on the way, and went on the road before he had time to eat the bag, and finally arrived at the printing factory in advance before one o'clock at noon.

Taking advantage of the gap between several printing masters from the south to debug the machine, Xiao Nan solved the lunch in two of three, just after the commissioning of the printing machine, the four-color folio Heidelberg printing press rumbled, and the printed folio coated paper was stacked together by the conveyor. The printers turned off the printing press and took out the coated paper that had just been printed for Xiao Nan to see. Xiao Nan made a gesture and struggled to exchange views with these southern printers who spoke broken Mandarin, and then compared the digital sample books and asked these printers to adjust the ink of the printing press......

Originally, according to the company's work schedule, Xiao Nan should have rested today, but by the time Xiao Nan and the printer finally adjusted the most ideal ink color, the time was close to three o'clock in the afternoon. Although Director Zhang told Xiao Nan that there was nothing wrong with her, Xiao Nan still insisted on staying in the rumbling printing workshop, sitting on the chair and staring at the printing press in a daze, until the printing machine printed one-third of the paper, Xiao Nan was very satisfied with the printing effect, and rolled a few pieces of printed coated paper as a sample, and then said goodbye to Director Zhang and drove home.

Along the way, Xiao Nan's thoughts in her heart were extremely chaotic, Xiao Ting, Xia Longfei, Hu Zi, Han Zheng, and even the annoying Zhao Yuxuan, everyone took turns in Xiao Nan's mind, and the clips of Xiao Nan getting along with them repeatedly flashed back in her mind for a period of time......

At 4:30 p.m., Xiao Nan finally returned to her small, messy nest. Although she felt a little tired, Xiao Nan didn't dare to let herself stop, because as long as she was a little free, she would think about some sad things in her mind, rather than find something to do for herself, it was better to be tired than to be stupidly sad.

So Xiao Nan went to the bathroom to sort all the dirty clothes that had accumulated for a week according to color, and threw them into the washing machine to wash, leaving some underwear that was not suitable for washing in the washing machine, so he soaked them in a large basin, moved a small stool and sat next to them and rubbed them with his hands. Soon Xiao Nan found that even though he was busy with his hands, he still couldn't stop the chaotic thoughts in his heart that were tangled together like a mess, cutting constantly, not being able to tear it apart, not being able to straighten it out, and not being able to get out. She herself was entangled in it like a poor little flying insect stuck to a spider's web, and any struggle was hopeless and futile.

Tears quietly overflowed into his eyes at some point. Xiao Nan hated herself for being like this, how could she be so weak like a real girl! Didn't she say a long time ago that she would give Xiao Ting back her freedom? Didn't she say that Xiao Ting should find her own new future again? Didn't she tell herself again and again that she was determined to let go? In that case, why did she still struggle with it? Why did she still feel sad? Why did she shed tears! Did she cry because she was sad and sad in her heart, or because she had transformed into a girl, and girls liked to cry in the first place?

I don't like the way I look! I don't like to cry anytime and anywhere! I don't like my cowardly appearance! Xiao Nan slammed the underwear he was rubbing back into the basin, splashing and foaming on his face.

Just when Xiao Nan was inexplicably sad and angry, there was a sudden knock on the door in the living room. At this time, who will come to me? Xiao Nan stood up and wiped his hands with his apron, wiped the tears from his face with his hands, and asked the person knocking on the door loudly as he walked to the door: "Who?"

"It's me, Xiaoting, open the door. Xiao Ting's voice came from outside the door, and Xiao Nan felt her heart twitch. Xiao Ting's voice is still so crisp and pleasant, like a string of silver bells hanging in the treetops, why is she here? Isn't she supposed to be with Xia Longfei now? Xia Longfei must have conveyed her attitude to Xiao Ting, Xiao Ting, has she accepted Xia Longfei's pursuit? What is she coming to herself for now?

Xiao Nan's brain has not fully finished thinking, her arm has been reflexively stretched over and unscrewed the door lock, gently opened the door, a white windbreaker slender and tall, like a white magnolia flower standing in the wind, Xiao Ting stood at the door, through the light in the corridor outside the door, Xiao Nan saw Xiao Ting's long bangs, a pair of eyes were slightly red and swollen, she actually cried?

Xiao Ting glanced at Xiao Nan, her eyes were full of resentment and sadness, she entered the door and took them with her backhand, and suddenly pounced on Xiao Nan's body, hugged Xiao Nan tightly, put her head on Xiao Nan's shoulder and cried. Xiao Nan stood there at a loss, letting Xiao Ting hold her, strings of tears continued to fall on Xiao Nan's shoulders like a storm, wetting Xiao Nan's clothes.

Xiao Ting cried for a long time, and suddenly as if she remembered something, she gently pushed Xiao Nan away, wiped the tears from her face with both hands, and then asked in a voice that was obviously suppressing her emotions: "Xiao Nan, have you decided to break up with me?"

Xiao Nan was silent. Since Xiao Ting came here, it means that Xia Longfei has already looked for her, and Xiao Ting must have known her attitude, so what's the point of repeating it more? "Cheng Xiaonan, let me ask you, have you decided to break up with me?"

Ridiculous, what do you have to be angry about? What right do you have to be angry in front of me!

Suddenly, Xiao Nan herself couldn't figure out what was going on, as if a time bomb buried in her heart suddenly exploded, Xiao Nan's long-suppressed feelings were vented at once, and she said loudly to Xiao Ting: "Yes! That's it! I told Xia Longfei in the morning, what I told him about dating is between you, and it has nothing to do with me! At the door of the café, you wanted to arrange for me to meet Xia Longfei, didn't it just so that I could personally show my attitude to Xia Longfei? Okay, now that your goal has been achieved, I choose to let go, and I will give you freedom! Because I am no longer a man, so you can rest assured that you can be with Xia Longfei! Isn't this exactly the result you want, I will give it to you, I will give it to you! I can even give you my own life, what else can I reluctant!"

"Smack!"

A crisp slap hit Xiao Nan in the face, Xiao Ting actually didn't use it very hard, but this slap was surprisingly loud, Xiao Nan was stunned by Xiao Ting at this moment, she still maintained the posture and disbelief expression on her face when she was beaten just now, as if she had been petrified and couldn't move.

"You bastard Cheng Xiaonan, I don't allow you to say that! This is not the result I want at all!"
