Chapter 15: Can I Call You a Flowing Firefly?

Hotaru walked aimlessly down the street, her feet blistered from the newly bought shoes, and the pain was unbearable, so she had to find a nearby café to sit down. The unhappiness of the interview invaded all of Hotaru's thoughts, she didn't know what to do next, and the four interviews she had prepared now seemed like a joke, and the negative emotions had completely consumed her.

She once secretly heard Dr. Chen tell Shen Youxia, saying that her emotions will be ten times magnified compared to ordinary people's emotions, and it is possible that a trivial thing can also trigger strong emotional fluctuations in her body, and at this time, she will have a deep sense of distrust of the world, feel a high degree of anxiety, and thus reject the people and things around her. At this time, Liu Ying fell into Dr. Chen's statement, and she had no illusions about the next interview, and even had doubts about her future.

Her whole head was resting on the floor-to-ceiling glass window on the left, the coffee on the table was undrunk, the street was bustling outside, and her eyes couldn't find a place to focus.

"Miss Gu, I didn't expect to meet you here. ”

A familiar voice came from the right side of Hotaru, but Hotaru ignored it, she knew who the owner of the voice was, but she didn't want to deal with him at the moment. She turned her head to the left again, hoping that the other person would understand that she didn't want to be disturbed. But the other party didn't seem to understand the deep meaning of her action, and sat down opposite her, and said to her: "It seems that you came alone, and it just so happens that I am also alone, so it is better for us to share a table, so as not to be so lonely." ”

Liuying didn't understand how Lu Yu could be so distracted and ignorant of current affairs, she turned her head and said to him angrily, "Can I ask you to stay away from me?"

Lu Yu didn't get angry when he heard Liuying's sullen voice, but smiled at her and asked, "I'm not far enough away from your table?"

"You ......" Liu Yingying didn't fight anywhere, this person was really brazen, she didn't bother to talk to him anymore, she could only go with him, anyway, she just ignored him.

"I went through the photos of the exhibition you sent me last night, and I was still thinking about when I would have the opportunity to talk to you at the same table, but I didn't expect the opportunity to knock on the door so soon. Lu Yu closed the menu and handed it to the waiter, and then said to Liu Hotaru.

Liu Ying thought of the exhibition and was a little more pleasant to Lu Yu, but when she thought of the architectural exhibition, she thought of today's interview with the architectural designer, so she refused and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to talk about the architectural exhibition today." ”

Lu Yu looked at Liuying, thought for a moment and said, "Then let me tell you about a very special person I met a few days ago." ”

Without waiting for Liu Ying to answer, Lu Yu continued: "I went to a salon last week, and I met a patient born with progressive muscular dystrophy at the salon. You may know about this disease, and it is usually difficult for people with this disease to walk upright, but this gentleman came alone, and guess how he walked?"

She was aware of progressive muscular dystrophy, and while in Nairobi, members of the volunteer team had helped a group of people who were suffering from the disease, and few of them were able to walk unaided. They can only stay in the hidden room day and night, they don't want to go out, they are not afraid to go out, they can't get out, Liuying can't imagine how helpless and desperate it must be for a person to be unable to walk. She shook her head, not knowing how such a patient could walk.

Lu Yu bent his two fingers on the table and said, "He squatted and walked like this." ”

"Huh?" Liuying's attention was focused on Lu Yu's hand, she really couldn't imagine walking like a person.

"When he was a child, he could only move around the house on his knees supported by his fingers, and when he grew up, he kept squatting and walking, and even suffered from rheumatoid as a result. His story is very inspiring, so I won't repeat the process one by one. Today, he has started his own company, and the process is carried out in a squatting position, squatting to go to the tax office to do business, squatting to walk to meetings with his employees, and squatting to meet the company's customers, but this does not prevent him from moving forward towards his ideals. I was so shocked by his story that I asked him, 'Don't you really care what other people look like?' and he replied to me, 'This kind of life will end one way or another, but I don't want to lie in bed and die and look back and feel like my life is worthless, so even if I crouch around in front of everyone, I don't pay attention to what people think of me, I just care about what I'm doing.' You care so much about other people's eyes, and what others think in their hearts may be good, come on'. After Lu Yu finished speaking, he took a sip of the coffee on the table, and then looked at Liuying.

Listening to the story told by Lu Yu, Liuying naturally thought of herself. No matter how sluggish Liuying was, she understood the meaning of Lu Yu's words, but she was not surprised, after all, Lu Yu had been in Guiye Courtyard when she was a child. She took a deep breath, also looked at Lu Yu, and said affirmatively, "You know that I suffer from autism. ”

Lu Yu didn't deny it, nodded and said, "Yes, but so what, this will hinder me...... Are you friends? It's just that the doctor defines your independent lifestyle as a disease. ”

Liuying was a little surprised, Lu Yu actually wanted to make friends with her, knowing her illness and still making friends with her, she said gratefully: "Thank you, you are the first person to think so." ”

"Then can you tell me what happened to you today?" Lu Yu asked affirmatively, he could actually guess a little, otherwise he wouldn't have told that story.

Liu Ying gradually let down her guard and told Lu Yu about the process of today's interview.

Lu Yu listened carefully to Liuying's narration, frowning during the period, and there was an indescribable emotion in his eyes. After Liu Ying finished speaking, she looked at Lu Yu and said, "How do you think I should answer the questions asked by the interviewer? Answering or not answering means that I will lose this opportunity." ”

Lu Yu put his hands together against his chin, looked at Liuying and said, "If it were me, I would generously tell the interviewer the truth." ”

"Why?" asked Hotaru in confusion.

"If you can be so open, why can't the interviewer be okay with it? As the guy in the story I just told you said, the other person may be thinking, 'Good job, come on.'" Lu Yu replied.

"You're saying I can't face it calmly?" asked Hotaru, "but how do I face it calmly? It's a fact that I have a social disability, and I can't learn all the things that are so common in real life." ”

Lu Yu smiled and said: "There are many very subtle and unwritten rules for interpersonal communication, and the use of language is often varied, but you are slowly getting used to it, aren't you? And I don't think you need to learn a lot of human sophistication, on the contrary, I think your straightforwardness and sincerity are something that many people don't have." ”

Liuying also smiled, she felt that Lu Yu's mentality seemed to be particularly positive and optimistic, and the places on her body that were enough to make her inferiority have become shining and hot points in his opinion, "You are really good at talking." ”

"I mean it. Lu Yu lightly followed up on Liuying's words.

As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, his mobile phone text message ringtone rang, and Liu Ying laughed when he heard his text message ringtone, although Liu Ying also used this text message ringtone, but Lu Yu used such a ringtone It was too incredible, because it really had nothing to do with him. The ringtone is the sound effect of "dang dang dang dang" in Doraemon.

"Is that funny?" Lu Yu said to Liu Hotaru after taking out his mobile phone and looking at it.

"yes, that's a far cry from your image. ”

Lu Yu asked, "What is my image in your eyes?"

Without thinking, Liu Ying blurted out: "Young talent." ”

Before the voice of the flurry fell, Lu Yu's mobile phone ringtone rang again, this time it was an incoming call ringtone, and it sounded a little more normal, the default ringtone of the iPhone. Lu Yu glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and then hung up.

Liuying saw that he didn't answer the phone, and was afraid that he would affect his work, so he said: "You have something to do, you can get busy first, I'm also ready to go, and I have to go to the second interview." ”

"That'...... Let's go together. Lu Yu tried to say.

Hotaru nodded, and as soon as she got up, the pain in her foot made her unable to stand still and sit back in her chair. Lu Yu looked at the high heels on Liuying's feet, and then said to her, "You wait." ”

Liuying waited for a while, and Lu Yu had already returned, holding two band-aids in his hands, squatting down in front of Liuying, and he was about to reach out to take off Liuying's shoes. After reacting to what he was going to do, Liuying hurriedly shrank his feet in, and said to Lu Yu, "I'll do it myself." ”

Lu Yu just said, "The skirt you are wearing, it's inconvenient" and then continued to move, so Liuying sat stiffly on the chair and asked Lu Yu to put a band-aid on her.

After Lu Yu finished pasting, he got up and said to her: "Remember to apply some alcohol to the heel of the newly bought shoes, so that you won't grind your feet when you wear them." ”

Liuying also stood up, but instead of looking at Lu Yu, she looked to the side and whispered, "Thank you." ”

"Let's go. ”

Liuying's foot pain has been reduced a lot, and when she paid the bill, she wanted to invite Lu Yu to thank him for his encouragement to her, but Lu Yu said that she would remember it with her and let her invite him to a big meal next time. Liuying didn't argue, after all, even the salesman said to take men's money.

"Where are you interviewing, I'll send you. As soon as the two walked out of the door, Lu Yu said to Liu Ying.

Liuying politely refused: "No need, I'm around here." ”

"Alright then, I'll go first. ”

"Goodbye. Hotaru tilted her head slightly and waved at him.

Lu Yu looked at her and couldn't help asking, "Can I call you Liuying?"

Liuying was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Of course we can, we are friends." ”

Lu Yu smiled, and the way she laughed made Liu Ying quite infected, and she laughed with him
