After swallowing two pills, Wu Jue barely fell asleep. When I woke up the next day, my head still hurt, and I felt like I was dragging a stump in my arms, struggling on the way to work, exhausted.

One qiē as usual.

Wu Jue is still an ordinary and conscientious staff member of Lin Zheng's finance department.

She didn't tell her colleagues, she got into Lin Jiahe's car, and she didn't even tell her most familiar Xiaoyu. Because she understands that even if she says it, no one will believe it, and she will only think that she is just talking about dreams and whimsical.

Everyone wants sparrows to become phoenixes, but no one wants others sparrows to become phoenixes. What's more, Wu Jue still only used sparrows with any background.

In fact, even Wu Jue himself doubted that night, did he really get into Lin Jiahe's car, and did he really get so close to Lin Jiahe?

He is still the mysterious president who stands tall and unpredictable, with his own exclusive elevator, and rarely appears in the sight of these small employees. Of course, it is still a hot topic among female compatriots in the company.

On the last working day of the year, Wu Jue almost only really saw him again, in the lobby on the first floor of the building, he was talking on the phone while hurriedly walking out, surrounded by three or five subordinates, naturally outstanding.

As he swept past Wu Jue, he seemed to see her as well, but only a faint glance, as if looking at a completely strange person, his gaze barely lingered.

Wu Jue thought that he was really just a stranger to him.

There were also several times when she was standing on the side of the road waiting for the bus after work, and the familiar black car whizzed past her.

On the day when the temperature dropped to its lowest, I finally made it to the end of my last day of work.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, Wu Jue joined the shopping tide of the supermarket alone, crowded in a bunch of women, and fought together on the shopping avenue with them, but, unlike them desperately throwing all kinds of New Year's goods into the shopping cart, she just picked up the same, looked at it, put it back, looked at it, and put it back again.

When she got out of the supermarket, her hands were almost empty. A person's festival, all the things that symbolize joy, are but burdens.

She never imagined that in this world, there would really be a day when she would be the only one left, alone in the face of this day when everyone was partying.

In fact, her father called her to go home for the New Year, but she lied to him that the company had something to do temporarily, and it was inconvenient to leave Jiangcheng. It's not that Wu Jue doesn't want to go back and reunite with her father, it's just that her father, who has been single for many years, remarried when she just went to college and reorganized her family. What's more, she didn't want her appearance to disturb the harmonious atmosphere of her father's new family.

At night, my head began to hurt again, and I could only sleep on the medicine, waiting for the last day of the year to come.

I had a long, long dream, and I didn't wake up until noon the next day, and when I opened my eyes, I completely forgot what I dreamed of, and only vaguely remembered seeing my father and mother, as well as Shen Tong.

After having some breakfast casually, Wu Jue went to the riverside alone.

Her hometown Lucheng is in the lower reaches of this river, and occasionally when she misses her hometown, she will come to the river, look at the rushing river, and imagine that these rivers will bring her thoughts to her hometown.

Wu Jue wrapped himself in a scarf to block the wind pouring in from all directions. On Chinese New Year's Eve, there was no longer anyone on the riverside on a date, cold and lonely, only the breath of the wind surging, so arrogantly showing her loneliness.

She looked at the muddy yellow river and suddenly thought sadly, will she never have happiness again in this life?

In this cold winter, she felt so clearly that the cancer in her heart was getting deeper and deeper.

After a moment's pause, his feet were almost frozen when he lifted himself up from the guardrail. When I looked up, I saw that the black clouds were overhead, and it was not too early.

Wu Jue looked around the empty surroundings, and suddenly realized that the riverside was so desolate and terrifying, so he hurriedly wrapped his scarf and said goodbye to the river.

Unexpectedly, just after walking a few steps, she actually saw Lin Jiahe.

He was dressed in a black suit, leaned against the stone railing, and smoked. Maybe it's because of the silence of space around us, there is a taste of standing between heaven and earth.

Wu Jue was hesitating whether he should step forward to greet him, he had already turned around and looked at her with a heavy gaze: "I was wondering, when will you find me?" ”

"Huh?"

"I just saw you staring at the river, very focused, so I didn't bother you, I didn't expect you to be stunned for so long."

"Mr. Lin, are you also coming to the river for a walk?" Wu Jue felt that he had asked a very idiotic question.

"That's right." He replied nonchalantly, lowered his head to extinguish the cigarette in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at her, as if casually, "Let's go, go to the car, it's too cold here." ”

Wu Jue looked at his cheeks that were a little red, and then he thought that he had probably been standing here for a long time, and he was a little puzzled for a while, but he didn't know how to ask.

"For the Chinese New Year, why don't you celebrate the New Year with your family and come to the river alone to blow the cold wind?" Sitting in the car, Lin Jiahe said lightly.

Wu Jue thought for a while and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Lin, what about you?" Why don't you celebrate the New Year with your family and run alone to blow the cold wind. ”

He turned his head to look at Wu Jue, seemed to be a little surprised, stunned, and suddenly smiled lightly, and said, "My family is abroad." ”

"Then why don't you go abroad to join them?" Wu Jue didn't know why he would get to the bottom of it like this.

Fortunately, Lin Jiahe did not show a look of disgust, but explained very blandly: "Actually, my mother has been abroad, and my younger brother flew over to accompany her, and my father naturally went over there." I had something at work and it was inconvenient for me to leave, so I stayed in the country alone. ”

He said it lightly, but Wu Jue somehow heard a little bit in his words. The Lin family has a big business, although there has been no secret of a wealthy family, only vaguely knowing that the Lin family and his wife have been separated for many years, but Chairman Lin has not remarried. However, in such a rich family, how can they know what is right and wrong.

Wu Jue didn't expect Lin Jiahe to talk about this to her. Presumably because of this moment, he is also lonely.

"So, you're spending the New Year?" Wu Jue didn't know what to say, so he could only ask nonsense.

"Hmm." He nodded.

After this simple answer, there was silence in the carriage. After a while, Lin Jiahe spoke: "By the way, you haven't answered why you don't go home for the New Year and take a walk by the river alone?" ”

Wu Jue didn't know why he was so persistent on this issue, but she still replied to him truthfully: "My father has a very harmonious new family, and I don't want to disturb their harmony." I'm an adult after all. ”

Lin Jiahe looked ahead, frowned slightly, there was a hint of pity on his face, and only spoke halfway: "I just saw that you seemed to be very sad, and I thought you were crying." I didn't expect your background to be like this. ”

When Wu Jue heard this, he suddenly laughed: "Although my mother passed away early, our family used to be very happy and happy. Later, my father took me alone and loved me very, very much, and his remarriage was a matter after I went to college. In this way, my background should not be like a cabbage. After a pause, she continued, "It's just that I'm alone and occasionally a little lonely." ”

"Lonely?" He thought thoughtfully, as if chewing on the word, without any expression on his face, and did not speak again.

Because Wu Jue didn't have much interest in finding a topic, the car fell silent again, until entering the city and the traffic gradually increased, Wu Jue spoke: "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry for you, just let me down on the side of the road in front, and I'll take a taxi back by myself." ”

"How are you going to spend Chinese New Year's Eve?" He didn't seem to hear her words, but asked inexplicably.

She shrugged helplessly: "How else can you live alone, just get some food, watch TV, and then sleep, that's probably it." ”

"In this case, how about we spend Chinese New Year's Eve together?" He spoke casually, as if carelessly.

Wu Jue was stunned and looked at him with wide eyes.

He also turned his head to look at her and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else." I just feel that it is too bleak to spend Chinese New Year's Eve alone, why not add two people together and pass this year. ”

Maybe it was because his smile had a kind of demagogic power, or maybe his tone was too calm, Wu Jue didn't immediately refuse. Not only did she not refuse immediately, but even after thinking for a while, she agreed to him by surprise.

Or, she's really too afraid of being alone.
