Chapter 004: Looking Back on the Past
Zhu Beini's plan for herself is to read two professional papers a week, read professional notes once a month, and read three professional books every two months. Coupled with Chen Xiaoxi's daily article, I basically used my leisure time.
Other colleagues have dinner and shopping after work, but Zhu Beini dedicates all her time to the library. Like a little follower, she took Zhu Beini's hand and went to the library together.
It was just after lunch that day, He Meili ran over like a gust of wind around the corner, grabbed Zhu Beini and finally held back a smile: "Stay away from the stars, remember, remember!" After speaking, he ran away like a gust of wind.
When I entered the office, I saw two female colleagues biting their lips and walking out of the office with a smile.
Zhu Beini looked deeper and happened to see Lu Xing looking over.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Beini blurted out. After I finished it, I remembered He Meimei's advice.
Lu Xing shrugged and shook his head innocently. originally walked past Zhu Beni's desk, and turned back: "I'll ask you." He said.
"Huh?"
"I have half a pack of sanitary napkins and used the rest last time my girlfriend came over. It's a pity to throw it away, do you want it?"
Zhu Beini was instantly petrified. Suddenly remembered the strange laughter in front of me, and guessed that Lu Xingxing must have asked them about this. This is really a simple child.
Zhu Beini smirked twice, shook her head, pretended to be ordinary, and said vaguely, "Thank you." Lu Xingxing didn't feel any surprise and continued to walk out.
Oops, Grains sat alone at the front desk. Lu Xingxing, a single-celled animal, won't also ask about grains.
"That! Lu Xing!" Zhu Beini called out to Lu Xingxing.
Lu Xingxing turned back calmly.
"My computer—" Zhu Beini was in a hurry, pointing to the computer and talking nonsense.
Lu Xingxing walked back, lying on the desk and looking at the computer: "What's the problem?"
"I want the next typesetting software. After speaking, Zhu Beini herself admired her intelligence. I've never thought about typesetting software, it's 100% quick. The company does not have a full-time design, according to the previous general manager's thinking, Zhu Beini prepared the manuscript, reviewed it and sent it to the outsourcing design company, and the follow-up work was handed over to outsiders. Zhu Beini wants to get rid of typesetting software, which shows that she is self-motivated, and she does not forget to broaden her professional ability while completing her own work. What a clever excuse to come up with!
Lu Xingxing listened carefully, nodded and said, "I helped you find free software, and I found it to help you install it." After saying that, I honestly went back to my place to search for information.
Zhu Beini glanced at the grains sitting at the front desk from afar, and sighed in her heart.
I just relaxed here, and when I saw the phone vibrate, I opened it and said, "I'll look for you after work today, about 6 o'clock." Can we meet in person?" When I saw the name, my heart sank.
It's Xu Wenheng. This name that made her tremble belonged to her college classmates.
Even Zhu Beini herself doesn't know whether Xu Wenheng is her first love.
At that time, everyone had just entered college, and they had infinite expectations for a new life and implicitly expected the opposite sex. Xu Wenheng likes to chat with Zhu Beini, and will pretend to give Zhu Beini a small gift casually - for students, it is a very expensive small gift. For quite a long time, he would look at her stupidly, and when she blushed and noticed, he quickly turned his face away.
This kind of heart-warming ambiguity always makes Zhu Beini mistakenly think that he is accumulating the power of confession. However, the sophomore year is over. He also - occupies the pit and does not - and in a hurry, a roommate described it this way. In the first semester of the third year, boys and girls fell in love one after another. Xu Wenheng still likes to look for Zhu Beini, whether he has something to say or something to say, he always likes to come to Zhu Beini.
He stood downstairs in Zhu Beini's bedroom, laughing and chatting with the dormitory manager, and finally said that he wanted to go to the dormitory to see Zhu Beini, "Five minutes is fine." She was sick and didn't go to class for two days. "The dormitory manager is very strict, but she is always open to him. He carried the cooked food he had bought in the city and walked quickly upstairs to see her. I really only watched it for five minutes, looked at her in a daze, sighed for a while, and said: Why is it not good to have a cold for so long, is it not staying up late? Raising her hand to see that the five minutes were up, she carried her empty water bottle downstairs.
Many outsiders thought she was in love with him. Only she and her closest roommates know the truth.
Still, misunderstandings work. There were no boys chasing Zhu Beni. Occasionally, there were people who were eager to try, probing their brains at the door of the class, Xu Wenheng looked at them coldly, and he didn't know what he told them when he went out, and finally disappeared.
Zhu Beini is the only girl in the dormitory of the university who is not in love. I can't help but say that it is thanks to Xu Wenheng.
Xu Wenheng is different. While the other boys were still playing football, playing games, and falling in love, he had been preparing for graduate school for a long time. Zhu Beini is determined to go to graduate school, and he has made a lot of contributions.
By mistake, two people applied to the same school, but were admitted to different schools. Zhu Beni transferred to a university further south. Xu Wenheng was admitted to Shanghai as he wished.
Zhu Beini has always been looking forward to it, thinking that if she gets the admission letter, she will also get a confession. She was wrong. Xu Wenheng is so frank that he has never hinted at it, as if he has never had expectations. He smiled brightly and was in high spirits. Before graduating, I didn't even say goodbye in person, so I went to Shanghai. Since then, the news has gradually faded. Some of those news were seen from the group of classmates.
Zhu Beini smiled bitterly. Only forget.
At the school where she attended graduate school, there was a nice boy who pursued her. She quickly agreed. She had a boyfriend. This matter will also spread through the classmates, but I don't know if Xu Wenheng still cares.
At the end of her sophomore year of graduate school, Zhu Beini's boyfriend planned to go further south for an internship. Zhu Beini did not want to go further south. The two people face the reality and finally find that the contradiction is irreconcilable. So they broke up peacefully. The boyfriend became an ex-boyfriend. The ex-boyfriend went to the south further south as he wished, and Zhu Beini had nowhere to go and continued to take the exam.
The news of preparing for the exam inadvertently spread from the group of classmates. Unexpectedly, Xu Wenheng, who had not been in direct contact for two years, took the initiative to send a message to Zhu Beini.
As if he had never broken contact, Xu Wenheng warmed the deposit, shushing the cold and asking for warmth - just the right amount of care does not make people feel hypocritical and abrupt. He talked and laughed, and even if Zhu Beini was wary, he would still be amused. Xu Wenheng untraceably described to her the Shanghai and the universities in Shanghai in his eyes. Within a month, Zhu Beini decided to change her application to a school in Shanghai.
It's not that I want to reunite with Xu Wenheng's old dream, but I just think it's a magical and rich place. Why don't you go and experience it? Why should you be so daunted? In desperation, Zhu Beini stepped on the train to take the entrance examination for doctoral students at a certain university in Shanghai.
Xu Wenheng picked up the station. He became more charismatic, soft-sighted, thoughtful, and caring, without any suspicion of sycophancy.
The next day, Xu Wenheng knocked on the door of the hotel room with breakfast. I took her to the exam room after breakfast. Introduce the senior sister who I specially asked someone to know to Zhu Beini. At noon, a group of students were invited to dinner, and Luo Luo generously introduced Zhu Beini. Xu Wenheng even deliberately recruited Yang Qingqing, a classmate who also came to Shencheng after graduating from university, so as not to make Zhu Beini feel too lonely in the strange crowd. That attention, that care, that feeling that was so familiar back then, is back. Zhu Beini secretly thought that Xu Wenheng did not hesitate to misunderstand his classmates, and probably just wanted to confirm to her that he had not talked about his girlfriend in the two years of graduate school in Shanghai.
The results of the written test will come out after three days, and the results of the interview will come out two weeks later. Zhu Beni failed. That day, she cried breathlessly. He stood beside her and comforted her. At the same time, he was very restrained not to touch her. She buried her head in her weeping eyes, saw his feet one step away, and knew that from now on the heavens would be separated. I feel very uncomfortable.
Where does the discomfort come from? I didn't come to Shanghai for him. came, and he never confessed. What was she expecting? Every sleepless night, she asked herself. "What are you expecting?"
In the most difficult month of being nameless on Zhu Beini's list, Xu Wenheng became increasingly rare. At first, he would explain that there was something, then he would pretend that it was fine, and in the end there was no news at all.
Learned that she had found a job. Xu Wenheng invited her to dinner in the name of celebration. He sat across from her, unprecedentedly unprecedentedly unprecedentedly not laughing. He just looked at her, his gaze so complicated that she couldn't bear to look at her. He looked at her, carelessly distracted. When he noticed it himself, he turned his face away. He didn't talk much during this meal. She only ate lightly without a pair.
Never said love. The meal was like a parting dinner.
Out of the restaurant. She went east, he went west. As she walked, she felt a little cold in her front placket, only to realize that she had already cried.
Suddenly, someone came running from behind and slapped her shoulder. In the hazy eyes of tears, she was surprised to find that it was Xu Wenheng. Xu Wenheng looked at her steadily, obviously shocked by her tears.
"Belle". He whispered to her.
For a moment, she really wanted to ask, "Have you ever liked me?" Inadvertently, she saw him holding her umbrella in his half-raised hand, and it turned out that people had just come to return the umbrella. Zhu Beini smiled bitterly, took the umbrella half-taken and half-snatched, and walked away without looking back—more like an escape.
Even fell off the list with "broken love", Zhu Beini was depressed for a month.
I thought that Xu Wenheng would disappear forever in the future like he once did, but I didn't expect to send a message to contact her again.
Zhu Beini's eyes swept over and over the text message, and her heart was mixed, so she didn't reply. After such a long time, she finally had a deeper understanding of Xu Wenheng. She guessed that maybe he had a big beast called "ambition" living in his heart. He needed a woman who could help him. Apparently she's not. Since well water can never be integrated into the river water, it is better to have a good relationship between the two.
That said, why say goodbye.
Zhu Beini wrote and erased, but after all, she couldn't harden her heart and send out the "missing".
To see or not to see?
Although she didn't explicitly refuse, she could actually turn a blind eye to the news and take care of herself from work. Ignore it! How smart is he, why can't he see the answer?
That's it. Zhu Beini secretly made up her mind. So I put my phone aside and concentrated on changing the internal article.
The end of work is approaching. Zhu Beini packed her things and looked forward to seeing who could go home together. He Meili, Zeng Mei, and Grains all look like they are leaving. Zhu Beini sped up so as not to be left alone.
I was thinking about what to do, and when I was about to get off work, Lu Xingxing found free software and yelled to help Zhu Beini install software. It's really a rock. It's hard to say yes if you want to refuse, so I had to wait for Lu Xingxing to get closer, and whispered: "I have something to do after work." ”
"Oh. Lu Xingxing was very measured: "You go first." I'll load it up and help you shut it down. Don't worry, I won't mess around. ”
It doesn't hurt to look around, who still puts secrets in the company computer. But Zhu Beini didn't say anything, only smiled gratefully.
Caught in the flow of people out of the office building. Zhu Beini was walking forward, and the people around her slowed down. As soon as he looked up, Xu Wenheng was in front of him, looking at her in public, and shouted neither high nor low: "Belle." ”
He was originally well-proportioned and upright, coupled with his deliberate demeanor, he could be called a jade tree in the wind. Such a talent, who shouted "Belle" to Zhu Beini affectionately, some misunderstandings also arose.
He Meili hugged her elbows, swept her eyes, and had heard it before, so she guessed probly. She whispered, "Belle is ours." "A little coquettish.
Xu Wenheng glanced at her, didn't answer, and still looked at Zhu Beini: "I have something to say." ”
"I have something to do. Zhu Beni tried to escape, but he grabbed her wrist firmly.
"Are you a domineering president?" He Meili grinned and came up. She saw that Zhu Beini was unhappy in her heart and had the heart to solve the siege.
"Belle, listen to me. Xu Wenheng glanced at He Meili coldly, and then looked at Zhu Beini.
"I ......," Zhu Beini turned her face. She was afraid that she would compromise weakly.
"Zhu Beini?" A deep male voice came steadily. Listening to the voice, Zhu Beini knew that it was Lu Xing.
Xu Wenheng glanced at Lu Xingxing, who came over in a hurry, and slowly let go of Zhu Beini's arm. The anger on his face was clearly accumulated. He stared at Lu Xingxing, breathing a little unsteadily.
Zhu Beini has never seen Xu Wenheng's appearance. Suddenly, she realized that he must have misunderstood Lu Xingxing.
It's good to misunderstand. Zhu Beini couldn't help but move to Lu Xingxing's side. Who knew that Lu Xingxing, who didn't know how to see the situation, opened his mouth and said: "Zhu Beini, what is your computer password?" After asking, he kindly explained: "I can't install a program without a password." ”
The atmosphere changed.
He Meili snorted and stomped her foot.
didn't care about Xu Wenheng's reaction, Zhu Beini blushed and sent a password to Lu Xingxing with her mobile phone.
"Sister Dabei is going on a date at night?" asked innocently, looking left and right.
"I'm sorry. Xu Wenheng smiled kindly at the grains. Pulled Zhu Beini and walked away against the current.
