Raising his head, his eyes met, time seemed to stand still, and the atmosphere froze.

The wind blew the curtains high through the window lattices, and the ornamental vegetation on the desk was bent over.

Tong Man put down the work she was doing, a trace of waves flashed in her eyes, her face didn't seem to have changed at all, still calm and indifferent.

The smoker crossed his hands, silent, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He stood here like transparent air, and neither of them could see him, but from the way they looked at each other, he understood a lot.

After a minute-long star-to-eye meeting, Tong Man broke the silence: "Have you thought about it?" ”

"You've figured it out!" Xiao Yi nodded, the corners of his mouth raised, and he smiled hard.

"When are you leaving?"

"Today!"

Tong Man was silent again, as if she didn't expect Xiao Yi to go in such a hurry, she had a lot of questions, such as whether something happened, why she resigned, such as ...... It's impossible not to go......

But she is Tong Man, she is the one with a cold temperament and a successful career, she is smart and wise, calm and calm, she wants to ask these questions, but she knows that this is a good thing decided by the other party, in this case, what is the difference between asking and not asking?

"You don't have to go to the personnel department to fill out the resignation form, go directly to the finance department, and I will let them settle your salary" Tong Man stood up and said softly, his tone became soft and no longer hard in front of Xiao Yi for the first time.

Xiao Yi was slightly stunned: "Thank you!" ”

He glanced at Tong Man deeply, turned his head, and left......

The smoker looked at Tong Man and didn't know what to say for a while, but nodded politely, and then kept up with Xiao Yi's pace.

The door is gently closed. Then closed silently, Tong Man looked at the direction of Xiao Yi's departure in a daze, without saying a word, silent, for a long time, and sat down weakly.

This moment. She felt like she had lost something.

There was a surprising smile on his face, which had no expression all day, but the smile was full of bitterness.

She suddenly remembered something, ran quickly to the window, and hurriedly opened the long curtains, and suddenly stopped.

Under the sun, the thin and slender figure slowly became small in her eyes, and gradually drifted away.

To this day, she still vividly remembers the scene when the two first met.

Then. He is oily, smooth, and disgusting to watch.

Until the figure who was not upright put himself in danger again and again, and saved his life again and again, she suddenly found that he was saving not only his own body but also the heart that was already cold and numb and scarred.

After a moment's pause, when I looked again, the figure had disappeared......

The thousand words that could not be said condensed into a sigh in the end.

……

Xiao Yi seemed to have lost his soul. Repeating the steps of the machine step by step, the smoker said speechlessly, "Please." It's not life and death, there's no need to be so sentimental! ”

Xiao Yi was stunned, nodded, and woke up like a dream: "You're right, it's not life and death, why should I do this!" ”

It was at this time. A weak figure came in front of him, it was Liang Yubo.

Xiao Yi and the smoker's faces changed, and their brows furrowed at the same time.

Liang Yubo looked at the two of them and showed an intriguing smile, which revealed a sense of sarcasm and disdain.

His footsteps didn't stop. Passed by the two.

The smoker snorted fiercely on the ground, and scolded viciously: "Damn, for the first time in so many years, I feel that this kid looks underwhelmed."

Xiao Yi nodded, he also felt this way.

"Don't think about it, drink!" The smoker said with a grin.

Xiao Yi turned his face and looked at him in surprise.

The smoke ghost said: "Look at what I'm doing, if I don't take the opportunity to relax now, I won't have a chance in the future, and you will be tired when the time comes!" ”

Xiao Yi was stunned, and then laughed: "Go!" ”

"Brother-in-law...... Slow walking"

When they walked to the gate, Ah Zhuang and the boys stood in two columns, their waists bent at ninety degrees, and their voices were loud and respectful.

"Gone......"

Xiao Yi laughed and waved his hand, and left side by side with the smoker.

From the moment the two stepped out of the door of the black pupil, the other foot stepped into a wonderful but thorny new world.

Ah Zhuang looked up, under the morning sun, the backs of the two figures leaving were not depressed, on the contrary, they were full of determination.

"They're really gone"

"Perhaps, they never belonged here......" Ah Zhuang smiled.

……

After leaving the black pupil, Xiao Yi and the others returned to Chaoyang Road.

Chaoyang Road looks quiet and peaceful, cracked cement road on both sides of the old-fashioned houses of the last century, the empty nesters who stayed behind sit outside the eaves, and their faces full of pleats show a peaceful smile when they meet people.

The breeze blew and blew off two fallen leaves, and the old cleaner who was hunched on his back swept the fallen leaves with a broom.

It's been half an hour, and the man selling soy milk on the corner is still doing brisk business, and he can't care about shouting.

Around the corner, step up the old red iron spiral staircase to the second floor, where you will find an old tavern with a dilapidated sign that reads "Momiji Tavern".

Xiao Yi turned his head to look at the smoker, a touch of surprise crossed his eyebrows, as if asking, "Is this it?" ”

The smoker nodded, smiling, as if to reply, "That's right! ”

After getting the answer, Xiao Yi raised his head and took a closer look.

It's quiet, there's no hustle and bustle of a tavern, and it's clearly not a regular and spacious façade, as you can see from the porch, it's a single door, no different from a home, and no tavern should be like this.

"Let's go, what are you doing!" As he spoke, the smoker had lifted the curtain.

Xiao Yi nodded and followed.

Xiao Yi's guess is not wrong, this is not a regular façade, but a small two-room residential room, the living room of about 20 square meters has four square tables, a small bedroom of about 10 square meters has a long table, and the other bedroom is locked, the balcony must be the kitchen, and a white cloth is pulled horizontally on the balcony, and a figure can be vaguely seen busy inside.

After looking around, the corners of Xiao Yi's mouth rose, the space here is very small and compact, but there is a kind of homely warmth.

There are two tables of people drinking in the living room, both of them are silver-haired old people, two by two tables, there is a pot of sake, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of sauce neck on the table, which is extremely simple, but extremely comfortable.

They chatted very quietly, drank very slowly, and when they saw Xiao Yi and the others coming in, they both showed kind and loving smiles.

"Hostess, please have another pot of wine!"

"Here we ......"

A soft voice came from the balcony, a pair of moist and white hands lifted the white cloth, the sleeves were rolled up high, and the wrists were snow-white and covered with sweat.

Immediately after, a figure walked out from behind the white cloth.

She wore an apron, her hair was coiled and her face was plain, her face was lightly sweaty, her facial features were very beautiful, and dimples appeared on her cheeks between her smiles, and her eyes made people feel very warm.

She was stunned when she saw the smoker, and then smiled warmly: "You're here, go in and sit!" ”

The smoker smiled the same: "Good! ”

Xiao Yi stood aside, looking at the eyes of the two looking at each other, and couldn't help laughing. (To be continued......)
