Alice was a little distracted. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Under the moonlight, Lu Li's facial features are faintly outlined, and the ink-like eyebrows are gently hooked, stretching along the contours of the eyes; the straight nose bridge is not as deep as that of the Caucasians, but there is a touch of Asian sparseness and elegance, extending from between the eyebrows all the way to the lip flap; the soft lip flap is gently pursed into a straight line, and the faint luster outlines a touch of tenderness.

Alice's mind couldn't help but think of Lu Li's eyes like soaked grapes, her heartbeat couldn't help but start to speed up, and even the voice of the answer couldn't help but lighten down, "Our imagination is really too limited, isn't it?"

Then, Alice raised her head again, looked at the stars all over her head, and her surging mood slowly settled, and she gradually found peace.

"It's often ourselves who limit our imagination. Lu Li sighed softly, thinking of this, he himself couldn't help but chuckle, "You know what? I've been here for three months, but this is the first time I've really appreciated the sky above me. Lu Li lay down directly, using his hands as pillows, quietly looking at the boundless night sky.

"Hah, it looks like you have to thank us, if it weren't for us, you might have missed the most beautiful view. Alice also lay down, lying side by side with Lu Li, that subtle feeling really made people blush and heartbeat, bang, bang, the sound of the heartbeat made Alice a little nervous, lest the sound was too loud and Lu Li would hear it, which would reveal her heart.

"When I used to be in New York, I used to see people lying in Central Park, wearing sunglasses, soaking up the sun, or reading the newspaper, sitting like this for an afternoon. The memories in Lu Li's mind suddenly became vivid, "At that time, I was just simply envious, envious that they could squander their time wantonly, and that they could enjoy life freely...... But I never really thought about why they would want to do that. ”

"Why?" asked Alice, stunned and curious.

Lu Li chuckled, "I used to simply think that maybe because they were rich, they had too much time and enjoyed leisure, which was the right of the rich." "Actually, this is also a kind of prejudice, always thinking that the rich have privileges - and this is true, but it is everyone's right to choose how to live," I later found out that many poor people also like to lie in the sun in Central Park, is it because they are too lazy to lie here all day without working, so they are so poor. But, on the other hand, the rich are so lazy, so how do they make money?"

This contradictory statement, which could be heard in Lu Li's words, made Alice chuckle.

"In fact, it is your own attitude that really determines the quality of life. Lu Li feels that after coming to the ranch, the biggest change is not that he has the confidence to have an economic pillar, but that his mentality has changed, "After a long day of work, a cup of hot coffee at work, a sunset in the evening, and a walk in Central Park after lunch...... What we capture is only the fragments of other people's happy lives, but these small fragments of happiness can also be created by ourselves. It's like now. ”

Happiness is never given by others, but discovered by oneself, those small happiness moments are around us, what we lack is not happiness itself, but the lack of the mentality to find happiness.

Alice was silent for a moment, savoring the meaning of these words, and the smile on the corner of her mouth involuntarily rose, "Fourteen, you know what? You can always find the good pieces of life, whether it was before or now. ”

"Really?" Lu Li turned his head and looked at Alice in surprise, "I always thought that I was a person who liked to complain, haha." Lu Li said self-deprecatingly.

This made Alice laugh too, "I still remember when I was a sophomore, the school organized a debate tournament, you served as the fourth debater, and in the semifinals, you met the opponent of the Political Science College, and you drew a devastating debate question, and when everyone wanted to give up, you never gave up." And it won, didn't it?"

"Sophomore ......" Lu Li's memory was a little vague, and he thought about it seriously, "Ah...... Is it necessary for developed countries to provide humanitarian assistance to Africa, right?" Lu Li thought about it now, because this debate topic was really too weird, from a moral point of view, of course, it was necessary, which also gave the positive side more convenience, but they drew the opposite side, "However, that's different, it's a debate competition, we can't abstain, we have to go hard." ”

Alice couldn't help but smile, "Of course not. Faced with the same problem, some people choose to face it positively, while others choose to deal with it negatively. You are the positive side, in fact, this is a kind of attitude towards life. ”

It was the first time she had seen Lu Li, an Asian face, who shone in the debate tournament and defeated others one after another, even in the face of such a difficult debate, he still showed an excellent demeanor, almost single-handedly turned the tide and won that debate tournament.

Alice looked sideways at Lu Li, the eyes of the two people met, the rippling light in the depths of her eyes made her heart beat more and more violently, Alice couldn't help coughing lightly, "So, you chose to come to the ranch in the first place, instead of being trapped in place and unable to move like me." ”

Lu Li didn't reply immediately, catching the shyness that flashed in Alice's eyes, and his fingertips couldn't help but tighten slightly, but he still found his voice, "What, didn't the Post interview meet expectations?"

Thinking of this, Alice's mood dropped slightly, "I participated in two more rounds of interviews, but I couldn't get a definite answer, and now the situation is stuck in an awkward position, they are unwilling to commit to a job, and at the same time, they are not willing to refuse outright." ”

This is the case with many large companies, where they are reluctant to let go of the right talent, but they are also reluctant to hire new people directly due to the economic downturn. Therefore, it is often necessary to retain the possibility, and then wait for the price to sell, delay the situation as much as possible, and hope to find better talent.

Choosing a large newspaper like the New York Post is actually a double-edged sword, you can win more opportunities, but at the same time, you need to face greater challenges.

"So do you have any thoughts now?" Lu Li could understand Alice's feelings, before accepting Cloud Peak Ranch, Lu Li was also going through such entanglement and hesitation.

Alice let out a long breath, "That's the difference between me and you, you're always willing to be proactive in the face of difficulties, but I'm more often passive and waiting for opportunities to come. I know it's a bad habit, but I just can't control it. I can't help but wonder if the opportunity would have come if I had waited a little longer, and it would have been the Post, which would have been a big opportunity for my career. ”

"Alice, you shouldn't feel depressed or lost, your negative emotions are human. "Even though I am now on the ranch, I still haven't given up on my dream of being a journalist." In this regard, I was fortunate to have received a gift from a friend, which gave me more options, and if I were to exchange a place, I would not be better off than you right now. ”

"Hehe, Fourteen, you're always so caring. Alice chuckled, "But, after this road trip, I'm now wondering if I should go back to the Post and talk to the editors face-to-face, hoping that they'll give me an answer, yes or no, at least, I can know an answer and move on." ”

The resoluteness and decisiveness revealed in those understatement words can still show the courage in the essence of Alice's character.

In fact, they all know in their hearts that once they spread things out, it is very likely to be "refusal", if the "New York Post" wanted Alice, they would have agreed directly, and their delay itself was a signal. Everyone understands this truth, but not everyone has the courage to face it.

"If you miss it, that's their loss. Lu Li said seriously, "You know, you have a keen sense of news, do you remember the project we worked on last year? If it weren't for you, the final result of the project might not have been the same." ”

For journalists, intuition, smell, and touch are often important because they need to dig out the truth from the details, just like detectives. Detectives are based on evidence, though, and what journalists need is a special feeling. A lot of the news is discovered by accident.

"Ha, although I found the clue, the news was obtained by you at risk. Alice could feel the sincerity in Lu Li's words, and her mood couldn't help but relax slightly.

Lu Li spread his hands, "Are you sure you want to have this conversation?" ”

Compared with men, Alice's writing as a woman is indeed different, and the sensuality revealed between the lines often gives the article a special flavor. That's why they chose to leave the final polish to Alice.

Alice was also amused by Lu Li's playful tone, and fell silent to look at Lu Li's side face, the sound of her heart beating began to pound violently, and the excitement made her cheeks flush slightly. The words came to his lips, almost speaking, but at the last moment he was still a little timid-

They are friends, but if they can't become lovers after confessing, is it that even friends can't continue to be friends? The position of friends is further lovers, but taking a step back is strangers. The price to pay for this small step is too great, and Alice is not sure if she can afford it.

Chloe's face couldn't help but appear in her mind, and Alice gritted her teeth fiercely, ready to close her eyes and speak directly. At least, she was going to try once.
