Suddenly, the phone rang, pulling Kong Ling back to reality all of a sudden. It was a spam text message, Kong Ling deleted it, took a deep breath, got up and prepared to get off work.

When she got home, she found that the power was out, and Xiao Jinmian lit a candle and poured the electric switch in the corridor.

Kong Ling said: "Don't get it, the black light is blind, what if it breaks, let's talk about it tomorrow during the day." ”

"We all go to work during the day, who will do it."

"I'll call the landlord."

"No need to call, I've already called, and the entire floor is out of power."

"Oh." Kong Ling entered the house in disguise, went directly to bed, and prepared to sleep.

"Lingling, help me get a candle."

"I slept."

"Ah, I went to bed so early." Xiao Jinmian jumped off the chair with the candle, walked into the room with the chair, and then put a large pile of tools into the drawer.

"Then I'll clean up and go to bed."

"Oh." Kong Ling responded.

After Xiao Jinmian finished cleaning up, he couldn't sleep in bed, so he borrowed a candle to read.

Kong Ling squinted for a while, unable to sleep, so he stared at the ceiling and said, "Jin Mian, do you think we can mix here?" How do I feel that the future is bleak. ”

Xiao Jinmian put down the book in his hand, touched Kong Ling's forehead, and said seriously: "Silly girl, no matter what the future holds, I will go down with you." Don't be afraid, no matter how dark the night is, as long as you have me by your side, you will not feel lonely. ”

"Why do you think you're a poet, so sensational!"

"Alright, alright, good, go to bed, I have to go to work tomorrow." After speaking, he took Kong Ling into his arms and got into the quilt.

In the ambiguous candlelight, the quilt floated like a wave.

Time flies so fast, three months have passed in a blink of an eye, Kong Ling has successfully turned into a regular and truly became a member of the editorial department. When she first saw her name written in the "Editor" column of "Yige", she burst into tears with excitement. Think about the white eyes I have suffered in the past few months, as well as Sister Qin's torture, and the countless days of working overtime until eleven o'clock at night...... The hard work paid off, and her hard work finally paid off. She's no longer the idiot who knows nothing.

She sent a few copies of "Yige" to her home, and called them to tell them how she had improved in the past few months. Maybe this way, her relationship with her parents can ease a little.

While flipping through the magazine in her hand, her mother pretended to be angry and said, "You, you have been so stubborn since you were a child, what we don't let you do, you just do it." Let me ask you, is this art magazine really as good as you say? It's not a state unit, can you stay in it for the rest of your life? Is there a pension? ”

Dad kept his head down and read the newspaper without saying a word.

"I ...... I do not know. But I feel a sense of accomplishment right now. Kong Ling touched his head and said proudly.

Xiao Jinmian was playing a game on the side, and when she heard her say "sense of achievement", she rolled her eyes and whispered: "This is a sense of accomplishment?" If you have the ability, you can be an editor-in-chief! ”

"What do you say?" Kong Ling turned his head and roared.

The mother on the other end of the phone immediately said, "What are you anxious about! ”

"Oh, Mom, I'm not in a hurry with you, I'm with ......"

"It's so late, who else is in your house? Isn't it Xiao Jinmian? Mom raised her voice and said, "Didn't you say you live alone?" I can tell you, you're not married, and there are some things you have to ......."

"Mom, okay, okay, I won't tell you, I'm going to sleep, hang up!" Kong Ling quickly hung up the phone, breathed a long sigh of relief, and pointed to the back of Xiao Jinmian's head, "Xiao Jinmian, I warn you, next time I call home, you give me a quiet place, or go to the toilet!" Otherwise, the consequences are severe, you know! ”

"Otherwise, let's get married. So that we can live together in the name of it. ”

"Okay, I'll go to the testimony tomorrow. Whoever doesn't go, who's grandchild! ”

"Oops! No, I have to go to the bathroom......" Xiao Jinmian quickly got up and rushed out of the room with his mobile phone.

"Look at your little bit of interest!" Kong Ling sat down as he spoke, continuing to enjoy the magazine.

This weekend, Kong Ling's editorial office was going to Qinhuangdao to play, saying that he could bring his family, so Kong Ling asked Xiao Jinmian if he would like to go. Xiao Jinmian felt bored at the thought of going out with a group of women and listening to them gossip and speak ill of men, and maybe he would have to be judged by them, so he lied and said that he had to work overtime on weekends and didn't want to go.

On Friday afternoon, everyone packed their luggage, gathered at the door of the company and got on the bus. After Kong Ling got into the car, he walked to the window seat behind him and sat down.

After Chen Tianqing got into the car, he looked left and right, found Kong Ling, ran over and stood next to her, and threw a large pile of snacks on the shelf.

Kong Ling glanced at him and said, "Master, are you traveling or fleeing?" Take so many things, as for it! ”

After Chen Tianqing sat down, he took a big sip of water, gasped and said, "Is it too much?" I don't think it's too much at all, what I have is strength. As he spoke, he slammed his fist into his chest, almost squirting water out of his mouth.

Kong Ling subconsciously leaned against the window, covered his mouth and laughed.

Chen Tianqing handed her a bottle of orange juice and motioned for her to take a sip, and Kong Ling said that he was not thirsty.

Soon, the car started, and Kong Ling sent a text message to Xiao Jinmian, saying that he had set off, then plugged in his headphones and looked out the window.

Along the way, Kong Ling leaned against the window and didn't talk much. Chen Tianqing told her a lot of bad jokes, and she smiled slightly. Chen Tianqing took special care of her, asking him if he was hungry for a while, if he wanted to eat snacks and drinks, and asked her if she was sleepy, if she was sleepy, she would lean on his shoulder and squint for a while. He also said that he had recently made more popular music, and she wanted to listen to it. Kong Ling pointed to the headphones on his ears and said, "No, thank you, I have my own." ”

Several female colleagues snickered in the back, saying that this time there was a good show. Sister Qin glanced at them, gritted her teeth, and rolled her eyes.

Yang Ying asked, "Sister Qin, you have a toothache, does it matter?" ”

Sister Qin glared at her, and suddenly said softly: "Oh, it's okay, thank you for your concern." ”

After a while, Sister Qin covered her mouth and frowned, looking very uncomfortable.

Yang Ying asked with concern, "Sister Qin, are you motion sickness?" If you don't let the driver stop for a while, you go down and breathe. Then he shouted to the driver, "Master, please pull over, someone gets motion sickness and wants to vomit." ”

The driver said calmly that this is a highway and there is no way to park.

Sister Qin said, "It's okay, I'll just sit by the window and let it through." ”

"Yes, yes, Xiao Chen, let Sister Qin sit next to you, just so you can take care of it." Another female colleague poked Chen Tianqing's arm with her hand, then winked at everyone.

Everyone smiled.

Kong Ling got up and walked out, giving up his seat to Sister Qin. Chen Tianqing also stood up.

Sister Qin pushed him down, squeezed him into the seat, and said, "Sit down obediently." Don't you have a lot of snacks, bring me some to try. ”

"Don't you want to throw up? Can you eat it? ”

"I'm fine again now." As she spoke, she snatched the snacks and drinks in Chen Tianqing's hand.

Chen Tianqing lowered his head and muttered, "That's all for Xiao Ling." ”

Suddenly, there was another burst of laughter in the car.

Kong Ling sat next to his good friend Lulu, put on headphones, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "It's nothing wrong with me." ”

In this way, the car drove in the direction of Qinhuangdao in the noise.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when they arrived at Qinhuangdao. Everyone hurriedly ate, then went back to the hotel to rest, preparing to get up early the next day to watch the sunrise.

At this time in Beijing, the autumn is high and crisp, and the moonlight is just right.

Xiao Jinmian had nothing to do, so he turned on his computer and wandered around the school intranet. He looked at it over and over again and muttered to himself: These people, all of them are talents! I didn't see them doing this when I went to school. You see, this kid went to Africa to be a Chinese teacher; and this girl, who went to Yunnan to open a hotel; And this, Niu, also went to study in the United States, I remember that he was so poor that he couldn't even afford to wear underwear, and the co-authoring was a lie to us...... Hey, these guys are amazing!

Suddenly, he found a girl who said that she had a volunteer activity and volunteered at a nursing home next to the medical university every weekend. Hey, this activity is interesting, you can make some contributions to society, it's great! Xiao Jinmian took a closer look at the photos of their activities and found that the girl was very fair, with a ponytail, black-framed glasses, a sweet smile, and a very capable look. This reminded him of the first time he met Kong Ling. At that time, Kong Ling was standing in the newsstand reading a book, the breeze ruffled her bangs, she gently smoothed them with her hands, the corners of her mouth rose, and she smiled lightly, which was also so clean and sweet. It's like an angel who has strayed into the world. At that time, he was thinking that he must be very happy and happy to be with such a simple girl. But now? Ha, time is such a terrible thing, it has changed a lot, and they can't go back to the way it used to be.

Xiao Jinmian sighed deeply and withdrew from the school intranet. I still think about the picture of the girl in my mind.

The next morning, the editorial staff came to the downstairs lobby early to assemble. Yang Ying glanced at it and said, "Huh? Why don't you see Sister Qin and Chen Tianqing? As soon as these words came out, a group of women immediately exploded the nest.

"You say they won't live together last night?"

"Impossible, don't look at Sister Qin's usual hot clothes, in fact, she is quite conservative in her heart."

"Pull it on, last time I saw her walking with a middle-aged man on the street, and the two were very close."

"Really? I heard she's still single. ”

"Ah, no, it's in their thirties, and they're still single."

"Cough, cough", someone coughed a few times, and everyone immediately shut up. I saw Sister Qin and Chen Tianqing walking down from upstairs.

"Ah, no, they ...... They're really together. "There was another commotion.

Chen Tianqing saw that everyone was looking at them, and hurriedly walked over with his head down.

Lulu ran to the front and shouted, "Sister Qin, you ...... You guys ...... last night Stay ......"

"Of course......" Sister Qin poked Lulu's forehead with her fingertips, pushed her away, glanced at Chen Tianqing, and said, "Guess! Then he snapped his fingers and motioned for everyone to hurry up.

Chen Tianqing covered her hot face and hurriedly ran to explain to everyone: "No, no, we just met at the staircase." Then he stepped forward and grabbed Kong Ling's arm and said, "Xiao Ling, you have to believe me." ”

Kong Ling pushed his hand away and said, "What's the matter with me." Then he and his colleagues walked towards the door.

Chen Tianqing froze in place, her hands clasped tightly together.

A male colleague patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, buddy, everyone is gone, and you are still thinking about spring." ”

Chen Tianqing stomped her foot fiercely and followed her colleague out.

After returning from Qinhuangdao, Chen Tianqing came to Kong Ling with nothing to do, and he was bumped into by Sister Qin several times. Every time, Sister Qin would call Kong Ling into the office and give her a random batch, and then throw her a lot of work.

At noon that day, everyone chatted in the lounge after eating. chatting and chatting, they talked about Kong Ling and Chen Tianqing.

Yang Ying put her arm on Kong Ling's shoulder and said, "Little girl, you still obey him." Although Chen Tianqing is a bit of a mother, she follows him and has a house to live in, clothes to wear, and meat to eat. ”

"Yes, listen to my sister's advice, hurry up and kick the three-no man in your family, be good with him." Another female colleague also ran over to join in the fun.

"I heard that Sister Qin has already done it, you have to hurry up, if you don't do it again, this rabbit meat will enter the mouth of the old goblin."

Kong Ling took a sip of water and said, "What are you talking about, he is my master." Then he turned and ran out.

"What a pretend!" Yang Ying pointed to her back and pouted.
