Chapter 14
Two years later, City C.
On the last day of the trip, I walked to the hotel front desk to check out, and when I turned around to leave, Jing Yan suddenly found that I didn't have my mobile phone with me, turned around, and smiled apologetically at the waiter, "I'm sorry Miss, I'm afraid my mobile phone has fallen into the room, and now the room card has been returned, can you help me go up and find my mobile phone?" ”
The front desk lady recognized him as a friend of the boss, the service was extraordinarily attentive, and personally took him upstairs to find it, when he arrived at the door of room 1707, the door was open, and someone from the housekeeping department had come to clean the room.
Jing Yan didn't think as much as she thought, and said with a smile, "The efficiency is really fast." ”
The front desk lady smiled with the guest first, and wanted to find the person who cleaned the room as soon as possible, in case the mobile phone was hidden, there was room for maneuver, and once the guest was negotiated, it would be troublesome.
Jing Yan followed in, looked around, saw his mobile phone on the table in the living room, picked it up and took a look, it had been labeled as lost and found, indicating the time, room number and the name of the person who found it, a catchy and beautiful name "Lin Xiao".
Then someone came out of the room, it was a tall young girl, her long hair was pulled up, she was dressed in a dark blue uniform, and her arms were covered with freshly changed sheets, and she realized that there were two more people in the room, she turned her head and looked, and there were a pair of bright eyes on her white goose egg face.
The mobile phone in Jing Yan's hand fell to the ground, his expression froze, and he said without saying: "Summer solstice!" ”
The woman was stunned, there was no expression on her face, but her lips were bitten white by her teeth, and she immediately withdrew her gaze, bowed politely to the guest, but turned a deaf ear to the two words exhaled by the guest, and calmly did what she should do as usual, put the things in her hand in the cart, and walked out of the door indifferently.
"Summer solstice!" Jing Yan turned his head and called again, he didn't feel that he recognized the wrong person, although her eyes were different from before, they felt very familiar.
The woman pushed the cart and continued to walk forward, her eyes slightly sideways, still indifferent and indifferent.
"Sir, her name is Lin Xiao." The front desk lady explained.
Jing Yan still looked at the empty door in confusion, "Oh, Lin Xiao......"
Jing Yan never imagined that she would see the summer solstice in this small third-level city, the young lady who suddenly disappeared from vision two years ago, she used to be a dazzling star in everyone's eyes, a proud princess with all her eyes in the sky, her beauty and brilliance make everyone who has seen her remember deeply, she is like Snow White in a fairy tale, noble, elegant and innocent.
And now she has become a low-voiced hotel waiter, the sharp spirit in her eyes has been worn away by two years, as if she has changed a person, is she really the same person?
Her presence stimulated him to recall the lavish wedding two years ago and the tragic car accident that followed.
Obviously, she loves Wen Anxu, why did she run away from the wedding scene, and why, the bride and groom, who were still envied by everyone one moment at the wedding, fell in a pool of blood the next moment, one died, the other fell unconscious, and finally disappeared from the hospital, and I don't know where to go......
Lin Xiao walked into the elevator only to find that she had taken the wrong elevator for guests, the waiter couldn't come in, the guests who were standing inside before obviously didn't know, even if they knew, they wouldn't say anything, they didn't look up and played with their mobile phones, she sent things to the laundry room in the basement, after registering, she was about to get off work, turned around and went to the housekeeping office to do the handover work with the staff on the afternoon shift, until after changing clothes and walking out of the hotel, they all felt like they were in a dream, and their minds were blank in a trance, what they said and what they did, I don't even remember.
She lives in the staff dormitory provided by the company, an old community not far from the hotel, and rents a six-story low building, with a three-story women's dormitory and a three-story boys' dormitory, with a dedicated dormitory administrator.
There are only three units on each floor, two sets of two-bedroom and one living room, one set of three-bedroom and one living room, of course, there will not be a comfortable big bed in the bedroom, but two iron frame beds, two bunks up and down, like a dormitory room when going to school, if it is not enough to live in an extra bed, at the beginning it was full, and then they slowly moved away, Lin Xiao lived in the room There were originally four people, and now in addition to her, there is only one colleague Liu Najuan, and there are people living in the other room but no one lives, occasionally come back to live for a few nights, Shenlong sees the beginning and the end, Every time I go in and out, I can only see a shadow.
Lin Xiao returned to the dormitory, feeling extremely tired, but he didn't want to calm down and do nothing, after putting the bag away, he went straight into the kitchen and started cooking.
"What are you doing, what are you doing?" Liu Najuan was sleeping and woke up from the noise, rushed into the kitchen in her pajamas, and smiled helplessly, "Didn't you eat in the cafeteria when you got off work, you can cook, I haven't seen you cook?" Belch...... We didn't buy that dish, and they're going to talk about it when they come back. ”
Lin Xiao didn't speak, turned off the heat, brought out two dishes, and poured them into the trash.
"Hey, I haven't eaten yet, what a waste!"
"I can't eat it, I put too much salt in it." A bag went in.
"Forget it, my aunt will come to see me in a moment and eat out with her. You can go with it, too. ”
"Nope."
Lin Xiao stayed in the room for another three hours, went downstairs to eat outside, and then came back.
The corridor is very dim, such an old-fashioned building, only six floors, there will be no elevator, installed with voice-activated lights, walk a few steps to stomp your feet, every time you walk here, she is more wary, often there are male waiters and security guards standing in slippers at the entrance of the corridor smoking, only wearing vests and big shorts, the administrator does not allow smoking in the room, their noses are more sensitive than dogs, the biggest sense of accomplishment is to issue a ticket for these people to pay money, in addition to prohibiting the opposite sex overnight, violators are not only fined but also expelled.
They looked at the girls passing by with burning eyes, and sometimes whistled and said something provocative, but they didn't dare to come nonsense.
Liu Najuan and her aunt came back earlier than Lin Xiao, and this aunt obviously wanted to spend the night here, but the dormitory manager was reasonable in this regard, and did not object to the occasional stay when relatives came to visit.
Lin Xiao and Liu Najuan both lived in the lower bunk, no one lived in the upper bunk for a long time, there were groceries, and her aunt and Liu Najuan were crowded on the same bed. The aunt and niece had a very happy conversation, and they were talking about introducing Liu Najuan to the object, they had similar appearances, dark skin, rough faces, and relatively large pores, not delicate women, the key is that some of the thoughts in their minds are also very similar, and they are not very pleasing to people.
Lin Xiao was in a bad mood, but now her head was swollen by a puff of smoke, she had reminded Aunt Liu that she was not allowed to smoke in the room, Aunt Liu only glanced at her lightly, deaf to her, while sitting on the bed and talking to Liu Najuan, she flicked the cigarette ash to the ground, and her voice was thick and low, like something stuck in her throat and couldn't be pulled out, and every word was held back in the iron box.
"Not being able to pick up socks for others will bring you bad luck." She blocked Liu Najuan's hand to the side, but stepped on Lin Xiao's dropped socks instead, as if such a step would bring good luck to herself.
Lin Xiao bent over and picked it up, but did not speak, feeling very disgusted.
Liu Najuan smiled and said, "That's it, you can't pick it up." Echoing her aunt's words, she didn't mean to make Lin Xiao angry, but as her aunt explained, they had such a particular idea, so I hope Lin Xiao doesn't mind, Lin Xiao obviously already minded, his face was much colder, he stuffed the headphones into his ears, and turned his head to listen to the music.
The next day, Lin Xiao was on the evening shift, and when the handover was at noon, the supervisor mysteriously called her out of the office alone, saying that the personnel department asked her to go over, and she was already prepared, so she didn't ask anything, put down her things and turned around and went to the personnel department on the 7th floor.
The director of the personnel department was a woman in her thirties, with a white shirt and short skirt in professional attire, her hair was coiled, she wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, her thin white slender fingers lifted the frame up, and a pair of small eyes swept the handwriting on the paper through the glass lenses.
"Lin Xiao, is it?" She asked without looking up.
"Yes." Lin Xiao nodded.
"We have just finished this year's employee data review, and during the audit process, we found that there are problems with your ID card and graduation certificate."
Lin Xiaoxiang was pricked by a needle, silent and did not speak, with his head bowed.
The HR director smiled sternly and said, "How do you explain?" ”
Lin Xiao was silent for a while, and said lightly, "When can I go?" ”
She came out of the personnel department, stood alone and waited for the elevator, her mind was in a trance, it was okay to leave here, Jing Yan saw her, and it would be troublesome not to leave...... But do you want to hide for the rest of your life? Some people can't afford not to see!
The elevator door opened, there was someone inside, it was a handsome young man with an unfamiliar face, with distinct facial features, wearing a suit, leaning against the wall in the elevator, his eyes were exceptionally bright, like twinkling stars, with a casual glance over, staying on her face, they saw each other almost at the same time, and looked at each other at the same time for less than a second, hurriedly moved away, staggered, and changed positions.
Lin Xiao returned to the dormitory to pack up his things, he was leaving, there was nothing to be nostalgic for, he had been wandering like a corpse since two years ago, and he had no heart.
Things haven't been packed up yet, the personnel director called again, after a few words, Lin Xiao was a little confused, the voice on the other end of the phone was very amiable, and the attitude was a 180-degree turn, when he heard that Lin Xiao seemed to be reluctant to stay, he was a little anxious, and pleaded in a low voice, he had to let her stay, saying that it was just a misunderstanding before, and the company needed a good employee like her.
