Chapter 12: Escapism

According to the address given by Wang Xiaoyue, I found the community where Su Wan lived, to my surprise, the community was not luxurious, and even a little simple, but the order of the entire floor gave people a comfortable feeling.

In the community, there are flowers and plants, there is a large square in the center, there are fountains, there are amusement facilities, and there are many old people and children moving around in the sun, laughing and scolding mixed together, like a gust of swept wind, all pleasant.

Five minutes later, I went upstairs, found where Su Wan was, knocked lightly on the door a few times, but there was no response inside, which made me even more worried, and just as I was hesitating to take off the fire machine and break in, the door suddenly opened.

It's Su Wan, at this moment she is wearing a white nightdress, her figure is still slim, but her face is extremely pale, the fierce gaze in the past is no longer there, replaced by a kind of weakness, like a little girl who needs to be taken care of, Chu Chu is pitiful.

Looking up at me, she said in a weak voice, "Liu Ming, why are you here?"

I didn't speak, I just subconsciously put the back of my hand on her sweaty forehead, and sure enough, it was extremely hot!

She was sick, and for some reason, there was a sudden pain in her heart, like it was me, not her, who was sick!

"Don't think about anything, I'll take you to the hospital!" After saying this, I couldn't take care of it, so I just carried her on my back.

She resisted halfway, but these were minimal, after all, how much strength did a sick woman have to toss?

When she came to the hospital, the doctor on duty took her temperature, it was more than thirty-nine degrees, even the doctor was startled, and quickly asked the nurse to arrange an infusion for her, and when she left, the doctor glared at me, and said angrily: "How did you do it, my girlfriend has burned to this point, if you come late, can you afford the consequences?"

When I heard the doctor's words, I could only smile awkwardly, but I couldn't explain it.

At this time, Su Wan on the hospital bed slowly fell asleep, and I always waited by her side, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar pretty face, and gradually fell into memories.

I remember when I first met her, she only gave me two labels: domineering, cold, like a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountains, which can only be viewed from a distance, but not blasphemed.

But after getting along, I found that it was not the same thing, she was a woman after all, no matter how strong she was, she had a weak side.

Yes, society grinds people's hearts, and how many people wear disguised masks for their livelihood?

After thinking about it for a while, I walked out of the ward and called Wang Xiaoyue, explained Su Wan's situation to her by the way, and then went downstairs, and stopped in front of the fruit stall at the entrance of the hospital under the scorching sun.

The fruit seller is a young couple in their thirties, the man is wearing a white T-shirt, the woman is carrying a small bag, although there is a sun umbrella next to the stall, but under the hot background, there is still hot sweat flowing down the corners of their foreheads, even if they wipe it with a towel, they are repeatedly prohibited.

However, I didn't catch the slightest look of displeasure on their faces, but rather the cooperation between the two, the man helping to load the fruit, and the woman helping to settle the bill, the whole process was very fast and enjoyable.

I thought about some of the things that I didn't have, I still stepped forward and bought some more fruits, after all, it's not easy for people, within the scope of their own affordability, if you can help more with the lining, you can dodge the lining, probably, this is the meaning of life.

When I came to the ward again, Wang Xiaoyue had already come, holding a wet towel in her hand, and she was carefully wiping Su Wan's sweaty forehead, which was very intimate, and I couldn't help but laugh when I saw this scene.

It seems that Su Wan can find such a little assistant, which is quite worthwhile.

But instead of breaking the tranquil atmosphere, I took out an apple and sat on the other side and slowly peeled it.

However, when I was halfway cut, Wang Xiaoyue stopped me, and when I put the wet towel on the table, she said slowly: "Liu Ming, in fact, I really think this place is not suitable for you." ”

I was stunned and couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Huh. Sneering, she said: "If it weren't for you, the list of Changyou Technology would not have gone astray, and our Director Su would not have run up and down for this list, tired to the current appearance, you honestly, since you joined the company, what have you brought to the company, profits, reputation, or lists?"

Wang Xiaoyue's sudden words made me speechless, yes, from the moment I joined the starry sky, it seems that I really didn't bring anything substantive to the company, and even made the list of Changyou Technology come to naught.

Come to think of it, it seems like I'm really good for nothing...

The atmosphere became embarrassed for a moment, accompanied by a deep self-blame in my heart, I glanced at Su Wan who was lying on the hospital bed again, and I always felt sorry for her, after all, it was her opportunity to give me the most to dispel public opinion, but what did I bring her?

That night, I had insomnia, tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep, so I simply got dressed, dialed Wu Yifan's phone, and asked him to have supper in Repulse Bay.

Subconsciously, I already regarded Wu Yifan as my best friend, and in fact, it was exactly the case, he didn't ask any extra questions, only said that he would arrive within fifteen minutes.

This makes me feel that sometimes, friends, don't need to do much, just this simple trust is enough to touch.

When we arrived at Repulse Bay, the entire river was neatly lined with folding tables and chairs, the lights were bright, the voices were bustling, and the waiters walked around with plates, all of which were pleasant.

Finally found a position, and as soon as he sat down, Wu Yifan scolded and said: "Dude, in fact, I came out today to tell you something, just those turtle grandchildren in the company, put the responsibility of Changyou Technology's unsigned list on you, I'm thinking about this nonsense, how much do you do your best, why do you do nothing!?"

Hearing his words, my heart inevitably tightened, but on the surface, I still said lightly: "It's okay, since we have failed, there will always be some gossip, we don't have to worry about it." ”

After speaking, I picked up the wine opener, opened a bottle of wine, and took a sip, Wu Yifan obviously felt that something was wrong with me, but he still opened a bottle of wine by himself and stuffed it, and didn't say anything after all.

This night, we didn't communicate much, until the next morning, I received a text message from him: If it really doesn't work, let's leave the starry sky, anyway, we are both about the same, if you are opened, I will also be opened, and I will follow you when the time comes!

In fact, seeing this news, my heart is mixed, in my mind, I don't feel his voice and smile, yes, although I haven't known him for a long time, but the two are very compatible, and even have a feeling of seeing each other late, friends can do this, what is there to regret?

But I have to admit that I am now angry, I have no confidence, I feel that there is darkness in front of me, and it seems that there is no result of staying any longer, or it will only increase the laughing stock.

Walking on the street, the midsummer has long been gone, the early autumn has come, I want to go to the company, but I don't know how to face my former colleagues, I don't know how to face their gossip, I don't know how to face Su Wan, and I don't know how to face Su Wan, and she helped me before.

At this time, a cool breeze blew, the fallen leaves drifted, and the pedestrians on the side of the road unconsciously wrapped the only single clothes on their bodies, even I, couldn't help but shiver, to say that the weather became really fast, yesterday was still the scorching sun, and now?

Inexplicably, I'm a little homesick, yes, think about the past few days after graduation, I haven't really gone home to see it once, especially in the year of falling out of love, I almost cut off all contact with my family, my parents must be worried about death, right?

Thinking about it, I couldn't help crying, tears were rolling in my eyes, it seems that no matter how prosperous the outside world is, home is the real spiritual harbor.

After all, I still didn't go to the company, but went home, nestled on the sofa, smoked non-stop, and recalled the bits and pieces of my days in the starry sky.

From the ambition on the day of joining the company to the current old man, in a trance, I only feel that time is like a white horse, and I can't allow anyone to breathe.

Needless to say, I was a complete failure, and instead of bringing any growth to the company's performance, I dragged the company back and put the stars in this position.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but slap myself in the face, accompanied by a hot pain, both helpless and aggrieved, perhaps, as Xu Ya said, I was too paranoid, too focused on my own ideas, so I forced myself into this desperate situation, everything, all of which were self-inflicted.

After thinking about it, I was relieved, and suddenly I felt that I was not suitable for this industry, and I suddenly had the idea of resigning.

After smoking the last cigarette, I took out my mobile phone and sent Su Wan a resignation text message, which originally had a long story in my heart at the beginning, but later it evolved into a simple sentence: "I'm sorry Director Su, forgive me for my stupid and reckless behavior this time, maybe I'm really not suitable for the advertising industry, so I decided to resign to you, the rivers and lakes are far away, and I will see you again..."

The moment the text message was sent, I suddenly regretted it, but later, I was convinced, since it was a deliberate decision, how could there be a reason to regret it!?

But when I was packing up, my heart became heavier and heavier, as we all know, the starry sky is now crumbling, I just leave, is it really okay?

Soon, I shook my head and only laughed at my self-inflicted amorousness, after all, behind Su Wan, there is also Mu Sen, the son of this family, didn't he always want Jian Xi and Xingkong to merge, just Su Wan nodded, I'm afraid she is a big director again, and she will have more power!

Hehe, in the world of capitalists, it is us ordinary people who suffer in the end.

I was completely relieved to think of this, and after packing my things, I immediately booked a train ticket home online.

Fortunately, it is now the off-season, there are not many people at the station, and it can even be said that it is a little desolate, except for a staff member standing guard for a few hundred meters, there are basically no passengers, and the only thing that is there is still a small sparrow that comes to hide food, standing on the branch, chirping non-stop.

The sunset settled, the afterglow of the sunset sprinkled on my face, in the depths of the misty clouds, I seemed to see Xu Ya's shadow, although the surface said that I didn't love it, but my concern for her was broken, forgetting a person, is it really that easy?

At this moment, the sound of the train horn wafted from a distance, and it was visible to the naked eye that a train was rapidly moving along the tracks, and a minute later, it stopped in the station, and a mechanical announcement was heard reminding passengers to board the train.

I got into the car, found a window seat and sat down, looking at the high-rise buildings in the distance, I suddenly realized, this city, after all, will be separated from me, maybe, I should never come again, right?

Thinking about it, my heart suddenly became sour, even if I overturned 10,000 vinegar jars, it couldn't compare to the desolate pain.

Should I really be like this, should I really leave so irresponsibly?

I don't know why, at this moment, I was like sitting on pins and needles, and my heart was even more overturned, tangled and couldn't do it, after all, I got off the train, holding this outdated ticket tightly in my hand, watching the train start in front of me, and gradually go away.

When I got home, I continued to nest on the sofa, smoking a cigarette, and watched the time on the wall clock pass decadently, and the mobile phone, I don't know when it rang, picked it up and saw that it was Su Wan's call, it seems that she has received this resignation text message, maybe, she called me to question me, and asked me why I wanted to be a deserter, right?

Inexplicably, I was a little frightened, gritted my teeth, I still chose to turn off the phone, under the smoke, I fell asleep in a daze, and when I woke up, there was a sparse knock on the door outside, which seemed to have an echo, intensifying.

In the end, I couldn't be noisy, I honestly went to open the door, but to my surprise, it was not Su Wan who appeared at the door, but Xu Ya...
