When Yuan Ying woke up, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, she felt that the tears on her face had dried up, and her skin was tight and uncomfortable.

The journey of life has come to the present, I have met some people, and I have to send some people away, and in the end I will only be left alone, with nothing to rely on and nothing to rely on.

When you're alone when you don't have hope, you don't have any expectations, it's no different from the walking dead, but luckily she feels that she still has a glimmer of hope, some hope.

happened to be hungry, Yuan Ying got up and washed his face and went to the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel, ready to eat something to fill his stomach.

The room was not far from the elevator, and she looked left and right, and it was three rooms away. The corridor is dimly lit, probably to create a homely atmosphere for guests, and there is a painting hanging on the wall opposite the elevator.

With the prompt of the elevator arrival, the elevator door slowly opened, there were no guests, she walked in and saw herself in the mirror, her originally thin face had recently grown a little flesh, and with this short hair, she looked a little younger than her actual age.

No wonder when buying a train ticket, the conductor reminded her to show her student ID together, until Yuan Ying took out her ID card, and the conductor looked at her seriously several times.

This situation is indeed a very happy thing for people who are about to turn 27.

Yuan Ying picked up the broken hair on his forehead and smiled with great satisfaction.

When the elevator reached the second floor, Chen Huan called over, and Yuan Ying picked it up, very unhappy: "What are you doing?"

Chen Huan smiled: "Why do you sound like you're not very happy?"

"How dare I, Mr. Chen!"

"Don't be like this, we're still good sisters, don't care about these subtleties. ”

"Please promise me to talk less at the right time, okay?"

"I'm not ......"

Chen Huan's words Yuan Ying didn't listen, she didn't have the energy to listen, because the moment she got out of the elevator and turned around, she seemed to see the old man, and all her attention was on him.

The person standing next to the elevator seemed to be him.

Although it was only a flash of light, the shadow seemed to be engraved in the deepest place of memory, and it could not be forgotten.

The sound of the elevator closing behind him did not sound, and Yuan Ying did not dare to look back. Her head was buzzing, she still maintained the posture of listening to the phone, but she didn't listen to anything, her hand holding the room card was already sweaty, and her feet were light and fluttering, a little top-heavy.

Until Yuan Ying walked into the restaurant, she still didn't hear the sound of the elevator closing behind her, but the phone in her ear suddenly rang again, startling her.

The waiter who was in the lead answered the phone in a trance: "That..... The signal was not good just now. ”

"Okay, you go eat. I'm going to accompany a few uncles to dinner now, and it's estimated that I'll wake up tomorrow in the afternoon, and I'll contact you to get the keys then. ”

"Good. ”

"Then call me tomorrow. ”

"Hmm. ”

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Ying ordered a bowl of porridge and a few dim sum, looking at the Hong Kong-style dim sum in front of him, he had no appetite at all, and his mind was full of the figure dangling in front of him. She looked at the porridge in the bowl and ate it indifferently, her eyes fixed on a point without moving, and her face was full of sadness.

It's a really small city.

When Yuan Ying stared at the bowl of white porridge in front of him in a daze, the elevator that had been blocked by Li Jia "screamed" and closed the door.

His own boss is a VIP guest of the hotel, so he is not afraid of what the staff will say if he forcibly occupies an elevator, but Li Jia feels that the boss is a little strange from the beginning of this evening.

Although it looks no different from usual on the surface, the same concise and expressionless, however, the boss will suddenly be in a daze, distracted or even lose his temper.

Just like just now, it was fine, but the elevator started to go wrong, he looked at the elevator and didn't go in, and he didn't move in the direction of the restaurant.

The emotional change can be said to be very rapid and disorderly, following him for two years, for the first time, his context is not accurate.

Li Jia always intentionally or unintentionally observes the change of his boss's expression, and when he sneaked through the mirror again, he was intercepted by the party on the spot, Li Jia quickly turned around and pretended that nothing had happened, he didn't see the boss's sharp eyes penetrating from behind his glasses at all, he didn't see...

"Assistant Li. ”

Bo Liang's voice sounded behind him, and Li Jia shook his body: "Old... board..."

Lu Xuan'an turned the watch on his wrist to a comfortable position: "How is the person who asked you to check before?"

Li Jia stood up slightly: "I found out that there is a flight record of City A, but the relationship between City A is still being opened, so there is no other news for the time being." ”

"Well," Lu Xuanan said nonchalantly, "no need to check." ”

"What?"

Regarding Li Jia's question, Lu Xuanan just glanced at him lightly and did not answer, and Li Jia stopped asking.

..........................................

Yuan Ying just drank a little porridge and didn't eat anything else, so she really didn't have much appetite, and she didn't want to go back to the room, so she went to the café on the first floor to breathe.

Ordered a latte and sat outside, the wind in the night of City B blew people comfortably, compared to the higher temperature during the day, the temperature difference at night can be regarded as gentle, no wonder the city has such a rich nightlife.

In my hometown, only my yard has a warm yellow lamp, hazy and hazy as far as the eye can see, the courtyard is dark, illuminated only by the bright moonlight, nine o'clock in the evening is the time for each family to close the door and lock the door to prepare for sleep, and here, the lights are bright.

The road illuminated by the bright street lamps spread into the distance, with no end in sight.

The night has just begun.

In the first two years of her studies at B University, Yuan didn't know anything about the city, and the only places she was familiar with were the stretch from school to the rental house, and the park not far from the school, where she occasionally went out to sketch.

In the era when mobile phone navigation was not yet available, it was extremely dangerous for a road idiot to go out, and if she was not careful, she would not be able to find her way back, so she rarely went out at that time.

Later, she went to many unique places and learned a certain amount about the city, and most of the inspiration for the comics came from walking on the streets.

She remembered all the memories here very clearly, but she didn't have the courage to go through them again.

Yuan Ying seemed to feel real at this moment, she had really set foot on the land of City B, she was real, and she had to reap the bitter fruits that she had planted.

The café is located on the west side of the hotel, divided into indoor and outdoor areas, indoor is a non-smoking area, outdoor is a smoking area, at this time Yan Yi is sitting at a table outside, holding a lit cigarette in his hand and is not in a hurry to smoke, just staring at the girl sitting in front of him on the right.

Yuan Ying was recalled by that gaze, and he did not dodge in the face of the past.

Yan Yi extinguished the cigarette in his hand, then took his own things and walked to Yuan Yuan's table: "Do you mind?"

Yuan Ying still looked at him: "Feel free." ”

"That," Yan Yi said a little unnaturally, "It might be a bit like a pick-up, but I still think I've seen you somewhere." ”

Yuan Ying was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "What a coincidence, so am I." ”

Yan Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, stunned.

He saw Yuan Ying staring at the cigarette in his hand, and tried to hand it over: "Get one?"

Yuan Ying took it: "Thank you!"

Yan Yi looked at the picture after Yuan Ying took the cigarette, some... How to say, it is discordant but pleasing to the eye.

The already feminine facial features, plus wearing a plain dress, simple sandals, and refreshing short hair, the whole person looks fresh and well-behaved.

But she lit a cigarette, smoked, and played with a series of actions of the smoke ring, which was natural and smooth with a hint of sexiness.

The two different styles blend seamlessly in her. That delicate and beautiful face, Yan Yi really looks more and more familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it.

Yuan Ying rarely smokes, only occasionally smokes in a depressed mood.

There is a passage in the Museum of Innocence that people love cigarettes not because of the power of nicotine, but in this empty and meaningless world, it can easily give people the feeling of doing something meaningful.

That feeling of self-comfort, self-encouragement, in a trance, it seems that those sad things are not so sad.

After smoking a cigarette, Yuan Ying stood up and said goodbye to Yan Yi: "Thank you for the cigarette, goodbye!"

Yan Yi leaned back in the chair and looked at her with a smile: "We've met, right?"

"Probably. ”

"What's your name? So I'll know who you are the next time we meet." ”

Yuan Ying looked at him, his pupils dilated as if he was thinking about something: "I'm sorry, if I can, I don't seem to want to see you again." He smiled and left, leaving a shocked look on his face.

When Lu Xuan'an came down to find Yan Yi, he seemed to be a little out of breath, and when he saw Lu Xuan'an, he immediately asked him, "Am I ugly?"

Lu Xuanan sat down, crossed his legs and slowly spoke: "Congratulations, you finally recognized this fact." ”

Yan Yi raised his foot and kicked it: "Speak well!"

Lu Xuanan took a sip of the lemonade he had just served, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who has such a vision and sees your ugly side?"

"Get out!" Yan Yi snatched Lu Xuan'an's cup and said seriously, "There was a girl just now, who said that she didn't want to see me, and my brother was also suave, okay? ”

Lu Xuanan casually snorted: "There is no stubbornness." ”

Yan Yi carefully analyzed these words, and then burst into rudeness: "Uncle!

"You're talking to people again?" Lu Xuan'an shook his head.

Yan Yi looked serious: "No, I really think that girl is very familiar, she must have seen it somewhere, but I can't remember it for a while." ”

"Old-fashioned!"

Yan Yi kicked again: "I'm serious!"

Lu Xuanan patted the place where he had kicked it, took the cup and drank the water: "You think slowly, I'm leaving." ”

Yan Yi muttered without conscience, and smiled at Lu Xuan'an: "However, why do you suddenly feel that you are in a good mood?"

Lu Xuan'an spoke in a cold tone again: "You hope I'm in a bad mood?"

"I said, can you say hello before you change your face? That's why I tolerate you so much. ”

Still cold tone: "No need!"

"I'll go! Your face has become unbelievable. ”

As soon as Yan Yi finished speaking, Lu Xuan'an's mobile phone rang, and he hung up after only saying good words. He stood up and was about to leave, but was pulled by Yan Yi: "Where are you going?"

"Go home. ”

"Aren't you staying in a hotel?"

"The program retreat is over. ”

Yan Yi stood up and put his arm on Lu Xuan'an's shoulder: "I'll go too, rub your car." ”

Lu Xuan'an glared at him, "Where's your car?"

"Tonight is the vice president's birthday, please eat and drink, so I didn't drive. ”

"You are a little doctor in the Department of Orthopedics, and your vice president invited you on his birthday?"

Yan Yi fried his hair: "Lu Xuan'an, tell you not to look down on people, brother, I am a chief physician." ”

Lu Xuanan was very perfunctory: "En." ”

Yan Yi completely lost his temper, and a mere chief physician and the general manager of the dignified Hongjia Group cannot be compared.
