"Isn't it okay to wait for the rain to stop? I always have to go home, and it's the same if I come back early or late. ”

Zhou Yao frowned and glanced at me, and said, "No, I can't go home now, I've promised others, what I promised must be done, and the stinky hooligan who lies will never end well." ”

Although Zhou Yao's words were self-deprecating, I always felt that she was talking about me.

I pursed my lips and didn't speak, Zhou Yao suddenly stood up and grabbed my hand and walked out.

"What are you going to do?" I asked.

"Get out!"

"But it's already raining outside, can't you see?"

Zhou Yao glanced back at me and said hatefully: "I have promised others, even if it is sulfuric acid, I must go!" ”

I just wanted to refute, but after thinking about it, the words on my lips never came out.

Zhou Yao has always been a person who does what she says, her behavior is the same as her words, and she will never deceive.

The rain was even heavier, and the biting cold wind mixed with countless raindrops slapped my face, and I couldn't open my eyes at all.

The road was full of stagnant water, along with dead branches and leaves and plastic garbage flowing into the sewer, Zhou Yao and I stood helplessly in the middle of the road, looking at the stagnant water all over the ground, and there was no way to get off at all.

"Don't go, go home." I shouted in Zhou Yao's ear.

Zhou Yao wiped the rain from his face heavily, glared at me and said, "No, I have promised others, I have to go." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yao stepped up and stepped into the stagnant water that almost overflowed his calves.

I was half angry with Zhou Yao, but I didn't have anything to do, Zhou Yao's temper was as stubborn as a donkey.

Enduring the cold of the wind and the baptism of the rain, it took a lot of effort for Zhou Yao to stop, she squinted and looked at the side for a while, took my hand and walked to the side of the building.

Zhou Yao and I were already soaking wet, Zhou Yao's long hair was dripping with water, and she was sneezing wildly.

After a while, a woman came over, she first handed me and Zhou Yao a towel, then looked at Zhou Yao and said, "Is it Ms. Zhou who called me this morning?" ”

Zhou Yao rubbed his head and said, "Yes, it's me." ”

"Come with me to the break room first, and our manager will be over in half an hour."

Under the leadership of the woman, Zhou Yao and I went to the lounge, she turned on the air conditioning heating function, made us two cups of tea, and took out two sets of disposable clothes and handed them to us, "These are clean clothes, there is a dressing room over there, and our manager will come in half an hour." ”

Zhou Yao took the clothes and politely said thank you.

The moment the woman walked out of the lounge, I ran straight to the air conditioner, opening my mouth and inhaling the hot air from the air conditioner.

After a while, Zhou Yao walked up to me and said, "Aren't you going to change your clothes?" ”

I glanced at Zhou Yao, my jaw was about to fall off in surprise, and the clothes she was wearing were clearly the kind of disposable bathrobes in the bathing center.

"Why are you here? Do you want to take me to the bath? ”

"What are you talking about? If you don't go now, just wait for a cold. ”

I thought about it and felt that what Zhou Yao said made sense, so I picked up the bathrobe on the table and went to the dressing room, and after taking off my wet clothes, I wiped my body with a towel and put on a loose bathrobe.

After returning to the lounge, I directly moved a chair and stuck it to the position of the air conditioner, crossed Erlang's legs, held a cigarette in my left hand, and held a teacup in my right hand.

Zhou Yao always sat upright in the chair, she held the water glass in both hands, as if she was pondering, no matter what kind of movement I made, she didn't respond to me.

I got up and walked to Zhou Yao, pulled up a chair and sat down with her, and asked, "Who are you waiting for?" ”

"Wait for the manager." Zhou Yao said flatly.

I felt a little strange, looked at Zhou Yao and asked, "Which manager are you waiting for?" ”

Zhou Yao turned his head to look at me and said, "Comic design manager." ”

My body trembled suddenly, and I jumped up from my seat in an instant, and said incredulously, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

Zhou Yao didn't seem to want to discuss this childish question with me, she gave me a blank look and sipped the tea in front of the table.

To be honest, I have guessed in my heart that the current Zhou Yao is different from the past, she is contacting the world from the perspective of ordinary people, just like the words she always hangs on her lips, and starts her new life again.

I envy Zhou Yao! Very envious! She always lives to her satisfaction. If I swapped roles with Zhou Yao, I would never be as free and easy as her. From a rich life to the abyss of poverty all of a sudden, Zhou Yao did not become depressed, nor did she give up on herself, but showed her best side in life.

Compared to her, I will always be in a state of decadence, even after many days, I can't get out of the shadow that Shu Yang brought to me.

The rain outside the window has stopped, the sunset reflects the sky red, I lit a cigarette in a trance, quietly stared out the window, the stinging pain caused by the smoke filling my lungs made me cough violently, but I didn't care at all, I was like a helpless poor person, wandering between fantasy and reality, and finally being tormented by different blows.

It took me a long time to come back to my senses, and then I remembered that Zhou Yao was still by my side. I looked at her, and she was still sitting upright in her chair, calmly waiting.

After a while, I heard a steady sound of footsteps in the corridor, and then the door was pushed open, and a man poked his head in, just in front of me, he smiled, nodded politely, and walked towards Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao was not idle, stood up and said hello.

"Is it Zhou Yao? The name is good, the people are beautiful, the skin is so well maintained, it must be ingenious, have you ever learned to paint before? ”

Zhou Yao said politely: "I studied for a while before, and this time I happened to see that the company has recruitment information, and it is my field of expertise, so I thought about interviewing and expanding myself more fully." ”

The man had long known that he couldn't close his mouth, as if he had seen an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, he held Zhou Yao's hand and said cordially: "Okay, you can have an interview now, come to my office." ”

I went up directly, grabbed Zhou Yao's arm and pulled out the man's hand, and glared at him fiercely. The man was also interested, he walked in front and led me and Zhou Yao into the office.

All the while, my eyes were glued to the man's back.

I don't know why, when I see this man with glasses and a bit of Sven, I always have an indescribable apprehension in my heart.
