The sky was overcast, and it had been raining since the morning, and it had not stopped all morning, and the streets of the city were shrouded in a curtain of endless blue rain from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, with the occasional flash of lightning and then the sound of thunder.

"Thank you, wonderful...... You can go back and wait for our call......"

Such a voice sounded in the large, empty room, indicating that there was a job fair in front of them. Dongfang Wan sat by the window, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and then extinguished it in the ashtray in front of her: "Sister Ling, let's get here this morning." ”

"Okay." The middle-aged woman in charge of the recruitment nodded, took a document and went out, and the rest of the people were also packing up, looking at Dongfang Wan on the side from time to time, all waiting for her instructions, and then dispersed, or there was still something to do. However, the young female boss obviously did not think of these at this time, her hands were clasped in front of her chest, facing the scene of the heavy rain outside, after a while, she took out another cigarette and lit one, her right leg was cocked, and when the lightning flashed, she raised her head and spit out a puff of smoke, and there was an elegant loneliness in that posture, and several male managers showed more or less appreciative eyes.

Speaking of which, the female boss is only twenty-two or three years old, but in the past two years from Beijing to Jianghai, there is an indescribable maturity in doing things, her policy has always been atmospheric, not conservative and never aggressive, formulated perfect work rules and processes, given sufficient resources, and then waited for the company to develop steadily like an organism. There is no sense of panic or incongruity that is common in the beginnings of a private company.

When she encounters small difficulties, she jumps through step by step, but when she encounters a big temptation, she is not tempted, and she does not blindly desire that kind of rapid development. He doesn't like risky plans, and he hates the kind of maverick who is hungry for performance. In the past two years, no less than ten talented employees have been fired, but with the development of time, the company has grown in this way, steadily developing and encroaching on the market, and no one can say what special know-how. It boils down to four words: follow the rules. Some of the peers who have gone off the beaten path are often silently surpassed by it after emitting a moment of brilliant light.

If the employees talk about it after dinner, most of them just admire the family quality of the big family, after all, for this boss, in addition to knowing that she is from a family, beautiful and unapproachable, only she hates the character of others breaking the rules.

"Let's go eat first, take a break, and come back in the afternoon." Seeing Dongfang Wan's state at this time, after packing up her things. Xu Yiting smiled at everyone and said softly. Knowing the weight of her words, the rest of the group greeted each other and walked quietly outside. Xu Yiting went to make a cup of tea, put it in front of Dongfang Wan, and then took the cigarette in her hand and extinguished it in the ashtray.

"I don't like to smoke, so I don't want to be ......," she said, taking out a white silk scarf from her pocket and tying it around the other's neck. Take two steps back, "It's better to look better this way, you are dressed in black today, and Boss Zhao next door saw it." He also came to me and asked me if my boss had fallen out of love. ”

Dongfang Wan sat there and looked down, she was indeed wearing a black women's coat today, a black elegant OL knee-length narrow skirt, black stockings and black high heels, and couldn't help laughing. The heel taps the ground: "Whatever you want." I think it feels good, my calves look very long......" reached out and touched the stockings on his calf. Stand up and look at your reflection in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, "How's it going, I rarely think I'm good......"

"If you keep going like this, sooner or later you'll fall in love with yourself." Xu Yiting smiled and shook her head, "Do you know, many people in the company think we are lace edges, and the gambling plates are open." ”

"But you abandoned me, you like my brother." Seeing Xu Yiting's face flush slightly, she showed a gentle but helpless expression, "I've served you, after so many years, even if you talk about millions of business with other bosses, you won't change your face, and you will blush when you talk about my brother." In this case, since you abandoned me, I will punish you to find a handsome guy who can make me fall out of love, sisters, and exchange my brother for you. ”

"That's too many candidates." Xu Yiting walked to the table and picked up her notepad, "Don't talk about the past, let's just say recently, on June 28, Boss Tian of Longxing sent ninety-nine roses and asked you to eat, on the afternoon of June 28, Ke Jia'an called you to dinner, on June 29, Lei Qing called as usual, Fang Ming sent a bouquet of flowers, and the flowers hinted that he hoped to have further development with you, and he ...... that day."

Xu Yiting thought hard, Dongfang Wan frowned, and stepped aside to accuse: "You are not sincere!" ”

"But you can't say at the beginning that you're not interested in these people, there are a lot of handsome guys, you have to give them a chance, even if it's not these, there were many people who pursued you when you were in school before, although you scared away a lot...... I also know your theory, falling in love is itself a process of showing and selecting and then standing out, but the performance of those people, their maverick part you don't like, you look at the problem is too extreme, there will never be people to show favor to you, the first time I feel that the final idea in their hearts is actually to push you to the bed to strip naked. ”

Dongfang Wan took out a cigarette: "That's how it is." ”

"Although there are some of them, it's not all good or not, not to mention that if the person I like thinks about such a thing, then I think it's normal."

"So you're imagining in your heart when my brother slept with you?" said casually, Dongfang Wan lit the lighter, and was suddenly blown out, and when she turned her head, she was greeted by Xu Yiting's annoyed and angry red face, "OK, OK, I said it wrong, but I don't think it's okay, but my brother's figure is actually not very good, ugly ......"

She twisted her head to the side. Finally lit the cigarette, and when he turned his head, the cigarette was snatched by Xu Yiting again. put it to his lips and took a sip, choking, and then pressed it into the ashtray again, Dongfang Wan laughed: "I haven't tried it for a long time, you haven't touched this for more than five years......"

"I swore not to touch these lands, but you made an exception......"

was told that her heart was broken, and Xu Yiting looked a little lost and depressed. Over the years, they and Dongfang Road have actually been the same school, but they don't get together much. At least it can't reach the concept of friends, Dongfang Lu has a good market at school, and has made several girlfriends who are school flowers, and everyone has eaten together, although they all ended in a breakup, but Dongfang Lu has never treated her as a very special personal friend.

Of course, he's actually better to his friends than his girlfriend - he's the kind of person who never lets anyone around him be slighted or snubbed, and in college, most people still only see her as Xiaowan's follower. But he is obviously not like this, because of Xiaowan's relationship, once when he introduced it to others, he once said that this is his other sister......

"This won't work, that won't work, you're stubborn, you want someone who is so unique that you can admire, that's hard to find."

Dongfang Wan laughed: "I don't think it will be without, if it was Andy Lau, I would definitely fall madly in love with him." ”

"Not for nothing. I've had one before, my cousin. ”

"Which one?" She replied casually.

"Cousin Jiaming."

Dongfang Wan was silent for a moment: "At that time, I couldn't help it, everyone was in the same class, and I couldn't say OUT to him." You can't fight back just because I said you like my brother, I like your brother too......"

"But in the end, you're the one who compromises. You also deliberately have a good relationship with him, and invite him out every year......"

"yes." Dongfang Wan bit her lip, "He finally said thank you to me......

In fact, there are some things that are undeniable, when I got up this morning, I overheard my father on the phone, I don't know what happened, my father was shocked, and he said at that time: "How could it be like this, it doesn't work out that Gu Jiaming is back again...... maybe it was this sentence that made her mood not very high all morning. And I heard another piece of news.

"Lingjing is back. ...... arrived the night before"

Xu Yiting was stunned: "Then she ......"

She didn't contact anyone, but she heard that she had signed with an acting company. They decided to make her popular...... Piano ......" Dongfang Wan thought for a while, "She hasn't come back for four years, and now she will definitely investigate the matter of your cousin Ming, the cemetery, his death, my brother is in Shenzhen now, I want to call him to inform him." ”

"Actually...... I don't know much about their previous relationship, Lingjing and Jiaming's cousin...... Didn't you say at the time that Jia Ming's cousin's girlfriend was Shasha? ”

"The three of them live together...... Dongfang Wan spread her hands, "It's the most unlikely kind of relationship, Jiaming has a terminal illness and broke up with her, as a result, she ran to Vienna for four years and didn't come back, and there were many people who had a good time with her before, but she didn't have any contact, it was like the world had evaporated, and she was really cruel to herself." ”

There was a thunder and lightning flashing outside, Xu Yiting looked at the rain outside the window, sighed, and was about to speak, when the mobile phone rang, she walked over to pick it up: "Hey, Mr. Qin, hello...... Hehe, of course I remember...... Has the goods arrived? Mmmm, you'll be coming to Jianghai recently...... It's great when the plane is when I'm ...... Well, and our boss came over to pick you up...... Yes, yes, thanks to you for taking such care of us all these years...... Xiaowan is not here now, yes, I will relay your words to her...... What else...... Okay, I'll make a note of it...... Uh-huh......"

While wincing, Xu Yiting was talking on the phone, Dongfang Wan just nodded, quietly looking at the rain outside the window. After a few moments, she got up and walked out the door, took out her mobile phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, brother, it's me...... Tell you something, though you probably already know it...... Lingjing is back, and when she got home the day before yesterday, I guess she will definitely look for me after seeing Jiaming, and I will give her your phone number or ...... Well, you're back...... Isn't the matter in Shenzhen still unfinished...... Well, got it......"

When the thunder sounded, an elegant and lonely smile was reflected on the window by the side of the corridor......

Two o'clock in the afternoon. When he entered the gate of the Ye Clan's Martial Arts Hall, the rain had already decreased a lot, and Julian put away his umbrella. greeted Ye Han who came over.

After a conversation last night, and then inquired, I probably knew that Ling Jing once had a sad thing, there was a boy he liked, and now he is dead, and to be honest, this is indeed a frustrating thing, because you can prove your worth by slashing love from anyone, but you can never defeat a dead person.

Knowing that they will be going to the cemetery this morning. So he didn't come over until the afternoon, Ling Jing's room was closed, Duan Jingxian didn't go to work today, she looked worried, and probably cried - he probably also knew that the boy in the dead place was very close to this family and treated it as his own child - Ling Jing went to the cemetery to see it for a while and came back, she didn't eat at noon, Duan Jingxian said it twice, and it was not easy to send it over.

"Let me bring it over."

He has learned some Chinese in recent years. There is no problem with communication, who knows that after talking to Ye Mu, the food has not been brought out, the door of Lingjing's room opened, wearing a white shirt, fluffy summer pants, sneakers, the girl's eyes are a little red and swollen, even with light makeup, she can clearly see it, and she looked at a few people in the room lightly. She hesitated for a moment before saying hello: "Dad, Mom...... Teacher Julian ......"

It's hard to imagine how she's feeling at the moment, and Julian doesn't know what's going on at the grave today, but in short, she doesn't seem to be a big problem. The voice was still clear, which made the Ye couple even more uneasy, Duan Jingxian said: "Lingjing, the family knows his ......"

"I'm fine." She breathed a sigh of relief, and for a moment, her whole body trembled, until she gritted her teeth, "I don't believe it." I'm going to the prison and ask......"

"But now...... It's a long way ......."

Duan Jingxian wanted to say something. But Ling Jing took an umbrella from the corner of the house and was about to leave, Ye Han waved his hand. Motioned for her to go out for a walk. Julian looked at everyone's expressions and said, "I'll send you, I drove over, and it's still raining outside." ”

"No, Mr. Julian......"

"It's okay, I don't have an arrangement for the afternoon, not to mention your current state...... It's better to have someone to follow, and everyone is more peaceful

As soon as he said this, his mother echoed him, and then several people walked out of the door, and Ling Jing got into Julian's borrowed car: "Which way?" Lingjing stretched out her hand and pointed ahead.

The weather outside the window is still gray, although the rain is light, but there are not many pedestrians on the road, they are out of the community here under the eyes of the Ye couple, Julian said: "The company has already arranged some work for you, although it started after a period of time, but I know that you have been in a bad mood recently, most of them have been pushed off for you, in fact, it is more difficult for you to start work as soon as you come back, but it is not an opportunity, I don't know what happened to you back then, but ...... You've got to forget about him, because there's a lot of people who care about you, well, I know that's old-fashioned......"

The car drove through the familiar street, with rows of street lamps and lights in the shops on the street: "I know he may be very good, so good that even if you spend four years abroad thinking about him and rejecting everyone, I honestly have had this experience before, but in the end...... Time tells me that the reality is cruel, because at the end of the day, we are all separate individuals in this world, we have our own and independent memories, there is no situation where you can't miss someone, you also have your own memories. ”

He sighed: "Maybe we will never be able to have someone, we can only get close to and fit with someone......"

Under the rain rustling, Ling Jing leaned against the window, did not speak, the car turned two blocks, and Ling Jing knocked on the window: "Stop here." ”

"Right here?"

Julian was a little puzzled, after the car stopped, Ling Jing got out of the car and held up the umbrella: "Thank you for sending me out, you don't have to follow me, I'm fine......"

"Hey, what are you doing......"

Ling Jing turned around and walked forward, Julian drove the car and followed slowly, talking outside, "Come in, where are you going, it's okay for me to send you there, didn't you say it's far away?" ”

She walked for a while and got into the platform where the bus was waiting. Silently putting away the umbrella and sitting down on the long chair, Julian stopped the car. Hold up the umbrella and go out, walk to her, look around, naturally know what is going on here, spread his hands: "I don't understand......"

The sky was gray, and Ling sat quietly, looking up at the sign on the shop across the street, and Julian received no answer. I had no choice but to put away my umbrella and sit down beside her, and after a long time, I heard Ling Jing speak softly.

"No......"

"It's not a ......"

"Everybody...... They all have their own independent memories, but I don't have them......" The girl said softly, like a dream, "We ...... Growing up together, we've been together since I can remember things roughly...... Maybe everyone has a feeling of being alone to a greater or lesser extent, but I don't, never have ...... He was bullied. I protected him, forced him to call me sister, we went out for a run together in the morning, and when we came back, we bought steamed buns to eat, at the beginning he was half, I was half, and then each of them ate one, and I went to school and did my homework together, I always wanted him to be the same as me, and life always revolved around him......"

"There were three of us. I was with another girl, and he was together like that, and I was happy to have them. I followed them when I was unhappy, played together on weekends, slept together, didn't understand anything at that time, so happy...... Then one day, it happened like that, and there were three people, and the children didn't understand anything. Drunk. When I woke up the next day, I didn't wear anything, and I panicked. But after all, it's three people together, and then we live together, for several years, and we live, and we live, and ......we live, and we live."

"So happy...... she opened her mouth, her voice suddenly became choked, and she took a breath with difficulty, maybe because she had cried too much in the past two days, and no tears flowed after all, "Of course, there are other people, other memories, I also went out with my classmates, and I did other things at one time, but...... Does it make any sense? It's only complete when the three of us are together. We were like kids who grew up playing with mud on a desert island, and when we didn't know anything, we got together, so we ...... It's only when you're together that it's complete and normal, and everyone has their own memories...... Does your hand have its own separate memory? Where are your feet and your head...... If one day they were missing, would you feel that this world was the same world? Can hands and feet exist independently of the body? ”

"I went to Vienna to learn piano...... It wasn't my decision, because I believed he wanted me to do it, so I did it...... It doesn't matter how unhappy you are, he asked me to do this, I want to come back and scold him after I have learned well, no matter what, let me scold him, I can forgive him, whether it is breaking up with me, or lying to me, what about four years of being alone, that is not a person's memory, I thought about it for four years, but when I came back, he said that he was dead...... I won't believe it, if I do, then what's the point of me, we're all one......"

"I know his character...... He is too tough, he doesn't want to involve anyone, and thinks about everything for others...... He had something he couldn't solve, so he didn't want me to see it...... I don't know what he's been through in the past few years, but he'll always get it back, as long as he gets it back...... As long as I get it back......"

Under the bus stop, her voice was always soft and soft, not crying, slightly hoarse, Julian looked at her side face, listening to all this, and suddenly felt that the girl in front of her seemed to attract herself more than any moment in the past, like a whirlpool. Before he could speak, Ling Jing had already stood up, carried an umbrella, and bowed to him.

"I'm sorry...... Teacher, I know that you have helped me a lot in the past few years, and I know ...... Some other things, I have thought about, he made me sad and disappointed, and when I came back, there was a wonderful person like the teacher, and maybe I would be angry with him, angry with him, and then I confessed to him...... It's so naïve. Teacher, you're not right, he's not outstanding, he may never be proud of his excellence, he's not handsome, and his temper is weird, but in any case, I'm already connected to him, and I can't be separated at all, I don't care about his strengths and weaknesses...... Teacher, you are a good person, thank you, I don't want to say anything else I'm sorry to say......"

With a slight smile on her face, Ling Jing turned around and got on the bus.

Julian was stunned for a long time, and finally, he drove along......
