Chapter 22 Riding the Void
When the man returned home, he lay down on the bed, and the exhaustion of his work and the blow to his soul made him lose the strength to stand. Suddenly, his phone rang, it was Jiajia.
"Hey." The man said weakly.
Jiajia stopped talking, was stunned for a moment and asked, "Man, what's wrong with you?" Sick? ”
The man closed his eyes, rubbed his head and said, "No." ”
"What's wrong with that? Something must be wrong with you. After years of getting along, even if she wasn't around, Jiajia quickly smelled the depression of the man's mood.
The man smiled bitterly and said, "You really know me, cough, I've been calculated." ”
"Huh?" Jiajia exclaimed in surprise, "What happened?" ”
The man frustrated and told Jiajia about his recent work.
After listening to this, Jiajia scolded angrily: "Who are these people? How come international companies have such people? ”
The man smiled bitterly, "Hmph, where there are people, there will be villains." ”
Jiajia scolded Olive
, while comforting the man. At the end, Jiajia said to the man guiltily: "Boy...... I can't go back to you right away. ”
"Why?" The man opened his eyes.
"As soon as I got home, the community came to me and said that those who came from Beijing should be quarantined for observation, and I am still in the isolation ward."
The man sighed and said, "Okay, take care of yourself, I'm fine, just get some sleep." ”
Jiajia told thousands of instructions, encouraging the man not to be discouraged and cheer up, and the man coped with a smile.
After hanging up the phone, the man fell asleep groggy. He dreamed that he was in a black hole, and he could only see a faint light on his head, and he wanted to climb up desperately, but his hands and feet seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't do anything. He felt a resentment in his heart, he was very panicked, and he had nowhere to vent. At this time, he suddenly felt someone tap him on the shoulder, he wanted to look back, but his neck couldn't turn at all, and in the struggle, he woke up suddenly, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that someone was really squatting on the side of the bed and patting himself on the shoulder, it was Ajma.
"Man, what's wrong with you?" Ajima asked with concern.
The man sat up, did not answer, and buried his face deep in his palms. After a long time, the man raised his head and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?" ”
"Oh, I'm fine today, so I'll be back early." After saying that, Ajima looked at the empty room and asked, "What about Jiajia?" ”
The man stroked his hair with both hands, and said weakly: "She has returned to her hometown, her mother is not in good health, go home and take a look." ”
Ajma nodded thoughtfully, she leaned forward and asked, "Man, what's wrong with you?" ”
The man didn't say anything, and looked at the ground in a daze.
After a while, the man raised his eyes and looked at Ajma, only to find that she had put on makeup today, the freckles on her face were covered, the long chestnut curls were draped on her back like a waterfall, and the bright lipstick and smart lilac contact lenses made her look like a foreign girl.
"You're going out?" The man asked weakly. He had long since discovered that Ajima's life routine was different from that of office workers, and she often went out to socialize after dressing up at night. He and Jiajia also asked her where she went, and every time she said helplessly that she wanted to accompany the client, and she often didn't come back for many days, so Jiajia and the man discussed Ajima's gossip.
Hearing the man's question, Ajima nodded in acquiescence. The man took out a cigarette and fumbled in his pocket, but he didn't find the lighter, he was about to get up and rummage through his bag, but Ajima had already taken out his lighter and played it. The man lit his cigarette and took a hard puff. Ajima stood up, sat down next to the man, lit a cigarette, and smoked with the man.
"Man, what's wrong with you, I've asked you three times, and you haven't answered me yet." Ajma said softly.
The man looked at Ajma and said, "I don't want to do it." ”
"Why, aren't you very important in your unit? Your company is an international advertising agency, why not continue with such a good company? You've only been in the job for less than two years. ”
The man smiled bitterly and said, "I want to do it well, but people don't agree." ”
Ajima looked at the man in surprise and asked, "What happened?" ”
The man recounted what had happened today.
After listening to this, Ajima nodded silently and said: "Man, I don't think you will resign, after all, you are still young, and your work has always been excellent, and occasionally there are some small problems, the company should be able to understand." ”
"Minor questions?" The man frowned, spit out a cigarette and said, "You think too simply, Binhai Beer is not a small customer, how many advertising companies are staring at it, our customer group has also done a lot of preliminary work to have such an opportunity, and now my impulse has been ruined." The man shook his head, grabbed his hair with both hands and said regretfully, "You don't know the cruelty of competition in a company like ours, how many people are waiting for the top, I won't have any more chances, no." ”
Ajma didn't speak, sighed and said, "No matter what, you have always been an excellent person in my heart, and I firmly believe that you will become the backbone no matter where you work." After speaking, Ajima put her hand on the man's shoulder and squeezed it gently, "Be strong, this setback is nothing, you are only twenty-five years old, there is still a long way to go, and there are many opportunities." She seemed to remember something, and suddenly said to the man, "If you really want to change jobs, I know a lot of CEOs, and there are also advertising companies, although they are not international, but there are also big ones, let me help you take a look." With that, Ajima hurriedly snuffed out her cigarette and began to flip through her phone.
A warm current suddenly surged in the man's heart. He usually only thinks that Ajima is an ordinary neighbor, but today he is in a predicament, Ajima can come over to comfort himself as soon as possible, and introduce himself to a job, whether it succeeds or not, this sincerity really touches the man.
He subconsciously pressed Ajima's hand flipping through the phone and said, "Don't worry, even if you change jobs, there's no need to be in such a hurry, thank you." The man shook Ajma's hand in thanks.
Ajima pressed her other hand against the man's hand and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "I really want to help you, sincerely, do you understand?" ”
The man was stunned.
Men and men are not stupid, and the subtle aura between men and women can easily be captured by the sixth sense. The man didn't know what to say for a while.
Ajima's hand was not taken away, it was still pressed against the man's hand, and her purple gaze burned the man. The man felt his heart beat faster. Ajma's hand holding the phone slowly lifted, and the phone fell on the bed, jumping out of the way. She slowly stroked the man's cheek with her hand, her eyes stared straight at the man, without the slightest dodge, this powerful aura man had never encountered before, and it was irresistible. Ajima's hand caressing the man's cheek landed on his neck, and with only a slight touch, the faces of the two people instantly got close. Instead of staring at the man domineeringly, Ajima slowly closed her eyes.
Ajma's arm slid down the man's neck and down his back, rubbing constantly. The man's hand that was originally holding the bed was unsteady, and the two of them fell heavily on the bed.
Lying on the bed, the man felt Ajima's bumpy figure. The man clearly felt that Ajimana was provoking himself to the baby who was about to come out. Ajma closed her eyes and gasped for a long time, her lower abdomen lying together. The man couldn't help but tremble a little, his hormones were like a pair of invisible hands pushing his head forward, and his lips were about to stick together......
With her eyes closed, Ajma took out her phone and threw it behind her, hitting a bunny doll at the head of the bed — the only plush toy Jiajia had bought in Beijing. The little rabbit fell crooked on the bed, his dark eyes looking straight at the man, and the man suddenly became agitated.
"No, no." The man whispered, sat up hurriedly, and buried his face in the palm of his hand.
Ajma waited with her eyes closed, and suddenly felt the man leave her, she opened her eyes and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
The man avoided Ajima's eyes, shook his head, and whispered, "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now." ”
Ajma was stunned for a moment, as if she understood something, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on her face.
The man turned around, gently stroked Ajima's somewhat messy clothes, slowly hugged her and said, "Thank you, Ajma, I am already very satisfied to be able to accompany me at this time, the rest ...... I'm sorry, I can't be sorry for you, and I can't be sorry for Jiajia. ”
Outside the window, Anzhen Bridge was still busy, and the man and Aijima sat side by side, silently smoking a cigarette while watching the shuttle traffic.
After a cigarette was smoked, neither of them spoke, because neither of them knew how to start. The man, perhaps choking on the cigarette, coughed twice and then asked in a low voice, "Ajma, can I ask you a question?" ”
Ajma stroked her hair, softened, and said with a smile, "What? ”
The man pursed his lips, paused and said, "I'm actually curious, you often go out at night to socialize...... What are they all socializing? ”
Ajma froze, she didn't speak for a long time, her long hair covering half of her face, and the man couldn't see her expression.
The man noticed that this question was a bit reckless, so he coughed dryly twice and interrupted: "Oh, by the way, do you drink water?" I'm a little thirsty, I'll go pour you a glass of water. With that, he stood up and poured water.
At this time, Ajma raised her head and suddenly asked, "Man, do you want to listen to the truth?" ”
The man's hand pouring water stopped, and he regretted that he asked this question, in case the words he said were embarrassing, how would he be friends in the future? He was just about to open his mouth, Ajima stood up, slowly walked to the man's side and said, "Actually, it's nothing, it's okay to tell you, I'm ......" Ajima was just about to open his mouth, there was a familiar footstep sound in the stairwell, and after a while, the sound of Brother Yu opening the door came from outside the door, Ajima looked at the door, turned around and walked out of the man's room, flashed into his room and closed the door.
