Chapter Twelve: Drill the Horns
The subway in the evening rush hour is like a pressure cooker that has been boiling but has been blocked from the air vent, so crowded that people can't breathe, even in early winter, staying in such a high-density enclosed space, you can be tossed out of sweat.
Encore pulled the bracelet, as the subway stopped, the body had to shake from time to time, sitting in front of her was a young couple, the woman was holding a baby in her hand, her black eyes were wide open, and her two small hands were clenched into fists and kept moving.
The young father approached his wife, put his arm around his wife's shoulders with one hand, and teased the baby with the other, and the baby giggled and opened its small mouth to reveal a small white baby tooth.
The young wife looked at her husband and children with a smile on her face, and the happiness on her face was self-evident.
Looking at such a warm scene and such a happy smile, Encore was a little distracted, as if a soft place in his heart was gently touched.
The phone shook in her bag, she came back to her senses, and it happened that the train arrived at this time, and the couple also stood up, the husband and wife carefully walked out of the crowd with his wife, and Encore followed them out of the station with them, watching them walk side by side to the opposite side of the street and disappear around the corner in the afterglow of dusk.
Encore took a breath of fresh air, it was a little cold, and it choked on her throat at once, she couldn't help coughing, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. She stood outside the huge glass window, saw her face, and the tip of her reddish nose, and couldn't help but pull out a wry smile, like this, it really looked like crying.
Encore felt very small at this moment, so small that he could barely see it when he walked on the road, no one would care, because he often moved when he was a child, he never took anyone or anything to heart, not that she didn't want to keep those memories, but once she put it in her heart, it would become a concern, since she would always leave, it was better not to have it in the first place, and let the past become a blank slate.
So she has been unsociable since she was a child, she likes to be alone, although she has changed after work, but because of her habits since childhood, she will not have deep friendships with anyone, and she stays alone in the rental house on weekends and spends her time in vain.
However, Mu Tong is different, he is different from the people in her life, sunny and cheerful, loves life, and has an attractive charm on his body, so that everyone who gets along with him is very natural, Encore understands very well that he is also attracted by his temperament, so after just seeing him twice, he can accompany him to buy daily necessities.
However, her trajectory with him is different, although there is no pressure to get along, but the difference in life personality is very obvious, so when she saw Lin Duoduo and him together, she felt that she was the superfluous one, the one who forced into other people's lives.
She smiled slightly, with a self-deprecating bitterness, people like her are actually very difficult to get along with, after all, how can a person who has never opened his heart to the outside world get along with others honestly?
The cold wind was blowing, the sky was already gray, and the fallen leaves were thick and fell all over the streets, and walking on them made a creaking sound.
The mobile phone vibrated again, and Encore pulled out his consciousness from the thoughts that were drifting farther and farther away, and took out his mobile phone dejectedly and looked at it, it was a message from Wang Zhenghao,
[Dr. Wang: Are you off work?]
[Dr. Wang: Where are you? Let's go to dinner? I'll pick you up.] 】
It had been more than ten minutes since the last message was sent, and Encore remembered that he had just received a message on the subway, and when he thought that Wang Zhenghao might be waiting for her at the door of the company, he hurriedly typed back the message.
[Ankle: I'm sorry I didn't hear the tone on the subway, I got off work early today, and now I'm home, so I'll make an appointment next time. 】
After sending the message, she casually sat down on the bench next to her, feeling bored for no reason.
To be honest, she didn't like Wang Zhenghao from the bottom of her heart, and even, his deliberate proximity and contact made her a little ...... Abhor.
When she was a child, she often envied other girls, envied that they had tall and handsome fathers, that they could coddle their fathers wantonly, and that they could live under their father's wings......
But later, when she grew up and understood, she hated the man who created the source of all evil for herself to the bone marrow, and every time she thought of that person, she was disgusted from the bottom of her heart, who should have been the man she trusted and relied on the most in the world, but kicked her away fiercely, and gave everything that should have belonged to her mother and her to another woman.
Because of her hatred for him, she once harbored deep hostility towards all the men around her, and every time she saw a happy family of three, she also felt that the superficial happiness was a balloon that was constantly rising, and one day it would be punctured by external temptations, "bang", and there was nothing.
[Dr. Wang: Okay, next appointment (laughs)]
Seeing that little expression, she suddenly remembered that someone had said that she never used expressions in conversation, making it difficult for him to guess her heart.
In fact, it is difficult to guess everyone's heart! After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and who knows what kind of undercurrent is surging under the smile?
Some people can't understand some things, can't read through, then just pretend to be confused, and if you dig deeper, you will only hurt yourself, it's not worth it, thinking of this, An Ke raised his head, looked at the sky and shook his head, sighed helplessly, and drove away all the miscellaneous things that came to mind for a while.
"Hey, sister!" a clear voice sounded not far away, from far to near, with joyful joy.
An Ke looked up when he heard the sound, and saw Lin Duoduo running towards her with a smile and waves, his orange coat puffed up by the wind, bright and cheerful.
And behind her, it was Mu Tong who walked slowly, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on him, glowing softly, his delicate facial features appeared more gentle and soft, the light yellow curls were fluffy and fluffy, and with his unhurried steps, it was indescribably lazy and leisurely.
Encore maintained his position, motionless as he watched as they walked in his direction.
"Sister, why are you sitting here blowing the cold wind? Lin Duoduo squatted down to her, held her hand, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Why is it so cold! How long have you been sitting here? Go home quickly, be careful of catching a cold." ”
Encore was said by her, only to realize that her body was really a little cold, looking down at her warm and soft hands on herself, however, she could not draw warmth from it, she stood up, but because of sitting for a long time, her legs were numb, and she did not stand firmly.
A pair of slender and good-looking hands were on her waist in time, An Ke's heart jumped, and when she turned around, she happened to bump into Mu Tong's golden brown eyes, where there seemed to be a bright galaxy.
"Slow down first, it seems that you have been sitting for a long time" Mu Tong didn't seem to notice An Ke's gaze, and helped An Ke to sit on the bench again.
"Sister, I went to Brother Mu's coffee shop today, look good! Oh, and that cup of coffee, you can see it too, it's amazing! Brother Mu can actually draw a picture of me on it, it's great! Oh oh, and that coffee machine......
Lin Duoduo's eyebrows fluttered on the side, and Encore listened silently, but he didn't listen to anything,
"Your sister has already gone to see it, and you are now considered ...... 'class gate to get an axe'" Mu Tong looked at Lin Duoduo with a smile and touched her stupid head.
"Ahh
"Let's go, it's cold outside. Encore got up, tightened his coat, shrunk his head, as if he was really afraid of the cold, and walked forward quickly.
"Sister, sister, why are you walking so fast" Lin Duoduo shouted with his neck stretched behind him.
"She seems to have something on her mind, and she is unhappy," Mu Tong patted her head.
"Really, what's going on that upset?" Lin Duoduo looked dazed.
Mu Tong looked at Enke's thin and thin figure in the cold wind, tilted his head and spread his hands, "I don't know either." ”
Xu just walked too fast, and as soon as Encore got home, he lay directly on the sofa, feeling that all the strength of his body had been drained, and he didn't want to move anymore, and he didn't want to think about anything else.
The door was gently pushed open, and Lin Duoduo walked up to Encore in a rare lady, squatting quietly beside her like a husky, and only asked quietly after a while: "Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Encore's face was buried in the sofa, and he replied sullenly for a long time: "It's okay, it's just that some people in the company are looking for trouble." ”
"Say, who bullied you!" Lin Duoduo slapped the coffee table, almost overturning a tray, and turning Encore over with his back up,
"Lin Xiaobing, are you going to rebel?"
Lin Duoduo saw that she finally had the poisonous tongue of the past, and immediately leaned over and wagged her tail, "I won't rebel, my subordinates will help my female general blow up the heads of those people." ”
Seeing her like this, An Ke couldn't cry or laugh a little, and the sluggishness in her heart dissipated a little, and rubbed her face fiercely, "Don't work for my cute little soldier, I've already succeeded in koping." Encore clapped his hands and knocked on Erlang's leg.
"Then what are you bothering about," Lin Duoduo jumped up from the ground, collected his tail, took out a small box from the side and opened it, and took out a durian cake from inside.
Encore looked at the cake, and then at Lin Duoduo, his face was incredible.
"Hehe, I know you love to eat, I asked Brother Mu to teach me how to do it," Lin Duoduo pinched his nose, "It's not easy, I failed several times to do it well." ”
An Ke's nose suddenly became a little sore, he held his arm and nodded her forehead, and said angrily: "You don't like this smell, why do you still do this? ”
Lin Duoduo dragged his nasal voice and stuck to it, "My female general loves to eat, I am the best soldier, I don't fight back when I am scolded, I don't fight back when I am beaten, I can drink with him, I sleep with ......" Lin Duoduo counted his fingers with care.
An Ke snorted and laughed, "you, the more you talk about it, the less serious it becomes!"
The cake is very sweet, and the durian flavor is also very strong, but it can still be seen from the roughness of the cake embryo that the cake maker is a complete novice, Encore knows Lin Duoduo's clumsiness very well, although compared to his ninth-level disability in cooking, it is slightly higher, but it is still at the idiot level, it can be imagined that Mu Tong must have been very helpless when teaching her, speaking of Mu Tong, Anke hesitated, and finally made up his mind to ask,
"Duoduo, do you stop liking Mu Tong?"
Lin Duoduo was holding the remote control to tune up the TV, and when he heard An Ke ask, he said without looking back: "Yes, Brother Mu is very good, don't you like Brother Mu, sister?"
"I'm not talking about that kind of like, I mean that kind of like, just that kind of ...... Between men and women, "encore corrects her worldview."
"Oh, maybe, but I don't think Brother Mu will like me, he and I are together, one black and one white is so obvious, why do others think that a new combination wants to debut, besides, if we are really together, I will go in the future, how hard it is for a long-distance relationship. ”
"Haven't you ever thought about changing careers in the future? If you really stay with someone in the future, it will definitely be inconvenient. Encore thought of Lin Duoduo's profession and agreed with her very much.
Lin Duoduo pressed the hand of the remote control for a while, held his chin and thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe, maybe I will meet someone who can make me willing to give up my current career in the future, but now I still want to stick to my dream, Brother Mu forget it, he doesn't have that much charm," Lin Duoduo smiled facelessly, "Of course, if you find a like-minded person, it would be better to shoot wild animals with me!"
"Then what is your relationship with Mu Tong now?" An Ke asked as if unintentionally as he ate the cake.
"Sister, why are you asking so much?" Lin Duoduo was tuned to a show she liked, and she was a little impatient, but she suddenly turned her face, "Am I being a little too enthusiastic? No, Brother Mu won't think I like him, right? “
Seeing that she was about to rush out of the door, An Ke hurriedly put down the cake and grabbed her sleeve, "I'll just ask, what are you doing, calm down!"
"Oh, sister, I've never seen you care so much about my affairs before? It can't be that my aunt asked you to introduce me to someone, right? That's not right, you haven't married yet, she worried about me too early, right?"
Encore: "Where are you going, I just saw that you got along well with Mu Tong, just ask what you think, and sit down for me." “
Lin Duoduo scratched his ears and thought for a while, "Me and Brother Mu, I think it should be what ordinary people say, huh...... Above friends, what kind of love is not enough, just that kind of situation, but we shouldn't go further, Brother Mu and I are not suitable to be boyfriend and girlfriend, he doesn't like me, I don't have a heartbeat for him, I only treat him as a good buddy, bosom friend, sister, you don't know, Brother Mu and I have a very good temper, he understands me very well, it's too rare. “
"You really don't plan to go any further with Mu Tong?" An Ke asked again.
"Of course not, there must be many people like Brother Mu, how can I fight with those bewitching sluts who am so innocent and kind, I'm tired, it's better to find someone as black as me. “
Lin Duoduo knocked on the melon seeds, staring at the 90s Hong Kong films on TV, and from time to time there was a burst of smirk, Encore ate the durian cake in his hand, and his mood gradually brightened with a little bit of less cake.
