It's a little exciting

1. Birthdays hit overtime

29-year-old Lin Yin has a birthday today, but she can't be excited at all. It's already 9 o'clock in the evening, but the office is still brightly lit, and it is a busy scene. All staff go into battle to overcome difficulties and ensure the completion of annual goals and tasks! The big red slogan on the wall looks dazzling, reflecting the hideous face of the boss standing under the slogan. At this moment, he was watching the battle from the sidelines. The endless forms made Lin Yin a little tired, a little annoyed and a little lost. No one remembers their birthday, except their own family. Yao Yao, the best colleague, was looking at the computer in front of her with a sad face, and she probably forgot the previous agreement that the two of them had a big dinner together. The phone keeps lighting up and going dark, you don't need to look at it, it must be the family urging her to go home for her birthday.

Dizzy, Lin Yin felt that his brain was already rusty, but he didn't dare to stop the work at hand. These complex tables can be summarized to know the market sales in the first half of the year, and the production and sales tasks in the second half of the year can be clarified after the evaluation of the marketing department and the budget of the finance department. That's why their colleagues in the administration department don't dare to slack off a little.

"Hi guys, my mission is complete, it has been sent to the department mailbox, I will call home first. Keep up the good work, everyone! Li Lihong saw that the boss had just left the office, she immediately got up from the desk, let out a long breath, and walked away.

"Virtue, every time the form is done, it's not that time we wipe her ass, Lihong, Lihong simply called to coax it, and immediately coaxed it away!" Yao Yao turned his head and whispered to Lin Yin.

"You dare to coax the boss's relatives away, you are not small, be careful with my report, and let the boss put on small shoes for you tomorrow." Lin Yin threw a roll of the eye at Yao Yao, and Yao Yao stuck out his tongue and made a scissorhand motion. The two looked at each other and smiled.

The overtime continued until 11 o'clock. Lin Yin walked out of the door of the company, the lights were on, the city was gorgeous, and the crowd on the street hugged each other. For a moment, Lin Yin felt like she didn't belong in the city. Lin Yin took a taxi and quickly ran home.

Open the door, turn on the lights. The man curled up on the couch immediately bounced. "Yinyin, why did you come back so late? The whole family is waiting for you to eat cake, I don't know that today is my birthday, I won't answer the phone or reply, let us worry! On the table, there is a cake left for you," Mom said in one breath. There is his favorite strawberry cake on the table, but there is only a small part of the huge cake left, and one strawberry is independent, which looks lonely and a little funny.

"Mom, aren't you celebrating my birthday! Why is this the only thing left in the cake? Lin Yin had a complaining tone. Who knows what time you'll be home? If it's like the last time I worked overtime until 3 o'clock in the morning and got home, wouldn't it be blind to my cake? I'll ask your sister to take the excess and go home for Niu Niu to eat. Mom said with a smile. By the way, forgot to congratulate you, happy birthday, in half an hour, you will be 30. I'm also tired, so I'll go to sleep first. Mom yawned and went to the bedroom.

At the age of 30, Lin Yin was shocked, and the strawberries that were delivered to his mouth jumped to the ground. She had a feeling of fish bones stuck in her throat, she couldn't spit it out, she couldn't swallow it, and it was very uncomfortable. Thank you Mom, I didn't nag in my ears today, as the old difficulty of the whole family's marriage, every time I hear relatives and friends say that they are older, they have to find one quickly and have a big head. She didn't want to find her own prince charming, but where was the prince on horseback? Lin Yin didn't know who to ask. It's a really embarrassing birthday.

Turning over to bed, the tiredness of her body made her want to fall asleep quickly. But her thoughts turned over the river and the sea, making it difficult for her to sleep. The past is like smoke, which makes her think back to the past, and he buried in the depths of her memory is even more vivid. Thinking of the bits and pieces when the two of them wanted to get along, Lin Yin's heart suddenly swelled with a lot of sweetness and emotion.

Second, the pavilion on the ridge coincided

At the age of 22, Lin Yin has just walked out of college, and Lin Yin is full of youthful passion and wants to apply for a job in a large company to realize his lofty ambitions. But the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. From being full of pride to just begging for a belly, it only took her two months. She recognized the cruelty of society and the hardships of finding a job, and repositioned herself. As long as it's a legitimate job, she's willing to try. Eventually, she went to a company called Star. The company is not small, but the only thing that makes people feel is that it is far away from the city, which is remote and remote, and it usually takes two and a half hours to get from here to the city.

I learned that Lin Yin was going to work, two and a half hours away from the city. Mom and Dad disagreed: "Yinyin, Mom and Dad can support you, even if you don't work for the rest of your life, you can't go to that place, it's a place where birds don't." The always elegant and weak father sighed.

"Birds don't, dad, you can really think of it, your daughter is going to work to earn a lot of money, you act as if I'm going to be generous and righteous" Lin Yin laughed. After struggling with her parents for two days, Lin Yin finally persuaded her parents. Packed up and went to a new job. Now that I think about it, my parents still have tears in their eyes when they wave goodbye. How did Lin Yin know that her parents were worried that she would go to that place, not because they were afraid that she would not be able to adapt to life there, but because they were worried that she would live up to her youth there. Parents never dreamed that her baby daughter Lin Yin ushered in her heart-warming moment there.

The biggest feature of Lin Yin's unit is that it is surrounded by mountains on all sides, continuous, and the locals have found another way to open the mountain and chisel the wall, and carved out a building in the depression of the mountain for people to live in leisure, which is praised by outsiders as "the villa outside the effect, the natural oxygen bar". The boss took a fancy to the feng shui here, so he opened up his territory here, created his own business territory, and built the current Star company. Although there was green and fresh air, Lin Yin still didn't like it here, because the lingering loneliness haunted her from time to time. It's been four years, and she doesn't want to get out of here all the time. The only thing worth remembering is the ridge, with its pontoon bridges, countless pines and cypresses, and many unknown wildflowers. In the summer afternoon, Lin Yin will sneak up the ridge when the boss is not paying attention, climb the steps, watch the rainbow after the rain, look at the crescent moon waterfall, listen to the pine waves, smell the sultry flowers, or even find a clean place to sit down, let his thoughts run wild. Lin Yin enjoyed this moment. At that time, people were too busy to take care of this place, and at this moment, the mountain belonged to her alone, and she was the only owner.

Lin Yin never thought that he would meet another person in the pavilion on the ridge. He is the newly recruited manager of the company, not tall, average-looking, and already 35 years old. The reason why his age is so clear is that the two are rivals in the competition for the manager of the company. Lin Yin carefully studied his relevant information and made full preparations for the exam, but he was defeated by his opponent in the end. And he became the ultimate victor. As soon as he thought of this, Lin Yin hated him so much that he didn't have a good impression of him at all. Now seeing him invade his own territory, Lin Yin felt a little more resentful of him in his heart. When the two of them met, the other party sighed happily, Lin Yin turned his head, pretended not to see it, and quickly passed by. The next mountaineering trip was not so pleasant, and Lin Yin always felt that there were stones running over in his heart, and he panicked.

3. Get along with each other secretly

When they met again, Lin Yin went to a restaurant to eat with a few colleagues from his own department, and happened to meet a few colleagues, and he was among them. So everyone shared a table and ate together. During the dinner, his phone rang, and when he answered the phone, he was as gentle as water, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, smiling, and the happiness and concentration made everyone stop the dishes and chopsticks to look at him for a while. Someone joked about calling that Xiaomi, it's so sweet! He smiled and said that the little mi at home had a phone instruction. The man smiled and said: I'm old, what are you tired of?! He spread his hands and said: No way, who let us get used to it. Everyone was amused by his words. A man, who has been married for many years and his wife's relationship is still the same as always, Lin Yin can't help but have a good impression of him in his heart.

The trajectories of the two did not intersect because of this, they were busy in their respective circles like two parallel lines. What really made the two familiar with it was table tennis. In order to enliven cultural life, the company has purchased several new table tennis cases, one of which is next door to Lin Yin's office, and the key is kept by Lin Yin. The table tennis room has become a lively place for a while, and everyone will wave a few beats after tea and dinner. Even when the manager is not there and the work is not busy during working hours, Lin Yin will open the door at everyone's request. The people in the unit are all table tennis masters, especially him, who often swings the ball smoothly, very elegant, and the masters play against each other, and there are countless spectators, which is really a visual enjoyment. And Lin Yin is just the opposite, he has always had a strangeness to table tennis, from childhood to adulthood, it is basically a boy's territory, and he has no chance to go to the stage at all, and he is still at the elementary level. As soon as the opponent sent the ball over, before Lin Yin's slap touched it, the ball fell directly to the ground to announce the end of the game. If you are not suitable for the opponent, the other party will naturally not have that hearty pleasure, and Lin Yin will retreat with interest. Everyone usually doesn't have the patience to teach Lin Yin to play by hand. There are only two exceptions, one is Lao Qiu, a good old man who is about to retire. One is him. The difference is that he never plays when he is at work, and practices a few beats in the afternoon almost every day. When playing with Lin Yin, he is very patient, and he plays the ball very plainly, Lin Yin is much easier to pick up, and his level is getting better and better, and when he plays against others, he may occasionally win one or two games. Lin Yin gradually fell in love with the sport of table tennis, loved the house and Wu, and also had a secret liking for him.

Because of his addiction to table tennis, Lin Yin didn't go to the mountains for a while. The leader is on a business trip, the office area is rare and quiet, and people are much less common than usual. Lin Yin moved his mind to climb the ridge and watch the scenery again. As soon as he climbed more than a dozen steps, Lin Yin was a little out of breath: really, he hadn't exercised for more than a month, and he regressed so quickly. It just so happened that there was a small pavilion on the side, so I just went to take a break. Approaching the pavilion, Lin Yin found that there was another person. He was sitting reclined, reading a book in his hand. A man who is nearly 40 years old still has the leisure and elegance to read? Since Lin Yin graduated from college and joined the work, he has never seriously bought a book and read it seriously, thinking of this, Lin Yin feels a little ashamed. This time she didn't turn away like she did last time. She stepped forward and shouted "Manager Wang", and he was suddenly shocked by the book, and when he came back to his senses, he said with a smile; You girl, you scare people's souls out! Girl, no one seems to have called herself like this, but this title made Lin Yin's heart warm, and she became well-behaved all of a sudden, like an obedient child. On the way, he told a lot of interesting things about his life, saying that he had dealt with Qingshan the most in his life, and he had changed several jobs, but in the end they all revolved around the mountain, which was considered to be related to the mountain...... Lin Yin listened quietly, interjecting a few words from time to time, there were birds chirping in the valley, and Lin Yin felt that he had suddenly entered a paradise. Tired of walking, the two sat on the ground, the distance between the two was very close, and Lin Yin, who was close, could clearly smell the fragrance on his head and see his little white hair. The sun was shining on his body, and at that moment, Lin Yin was a little dizzy, and unconsciously put his head on his shoulder, feeling that his body trembled, but he carefully and crampedly stretched out his hand to pin it over his shoulder. Lin Yin raised his head in amusement. In an instant, she felt like she was back in her ignorant youth. The two sat like that, neither of them talking again until the sun went down.

When they met again, the two looked at each other and smiled. Lin Yin will also talk to him on the phone from time to time, make a joke, get together for a meal, and the topics are getting thicker and thicker, ranging from Tiannan and Haibei to some interesting things about the company. Even talking on the phone for twenty or thirty minutes on a night other than a weekend, Lin Yin didn't know how she could talk to him so much. However, there is one thing that Lin Yin knows very well, that is, when he makes a phone call, his mood is happy and expectant. Sometimes, when he goes to the city, he will call his wife, daughter, and Lin Yin and another male colleague to eat barbecue at a night market stall. His wife is not pretty, but there is a sweetness on her face, her daughter is very well-behaved, she is very attached to her father, and she has always been coquettish to her father when she eats. The picture of a family of three sitting together is warm and charming. Lin Yin saw it in his eyes, and there was a trace of emotion in his heart. In her heart, she has always felt that this is the state of a happy marriage, and this is the love she wants.

Only once, he called Lin Yin and invited him to a coffee shop in the city to sit down. The music was flowing in the coffee shop, the rattan rocking chairs were decorated with green leaves and small flowers on both sides, and the couples were smiling or snuggling together, Lin Yin felt that he and he had come to this place a little inappropriately, but there was a faint joy in his heart. He ordered two servings of Western food, and joked while eating: Eat, girl, I ordered it especially for you! Whatever you want to eat, just say it, eat it to your heart's content! He was still talking about some interesting things about the company as always, and Lin Yin's sense of uneasiness disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Sometimes, when lying in bed at night, Lin Yin will also think nonsense. Think if he will ask to be a virgin boyfriend and girlfriend with her, what it is like to date him, and even wonder if he will feel electrocuted when he is hugged, and whether his arms will be warm? Think about Lin Yin will laugh at herself. She knew it would never be like this. Because deep down there is a voice in his heart that tells him that he belongs to someone else, not his own harbor, and not the marriage partner he wants. It's just that this Plato's feelings make people feel that the years are quiet and warm. In fact, this is very good, blue powder confidant, warm and content.
