52 Before dawn

In the long years of human reproduction, people have more than once looked forward to being able to go back to the past or travel to the future.

Everyone longs for a conversation with their past selves.

I'm also curious about what I'll be like in ten years.

It's just that life isn't as magical as people think.

Even if it is 10 years, 20 years or even a hundred years, time is just changing imperceptibly little by little, but life is still slowly changing around the center of the circle little by little......

Ouyang Lai in 2010, who was not yet 20 years old, had already sketched a blueprint for her future.

She thought she could have a house with an elevator and a garden by the time she was 25.

At the age of 26, he owned a car of about 300,000.

At the age of 27, he entered the palace of marriage with his lover.

Gave birth to a lovely baby at the age of 28 and vowed to love her for the rest of her life.

The rest of my life was already planned when I got such a high-paying job.

And Ouyang Lai, who had lived in the mud and swamp for more than ten years, suddenly regained hope.

She began to learn to appreciate colors other than green.

Yellow, bright, hopeful.

Red, passion, hope.

Black, quiet, hopeful.

White, pure, hopeful.

Each color is followed by the word hope.

She feels that life has just begun, and the future is promising.

And Mr. Zhang, the financial company's concern for her, is also increasing day by day.

Mr. Zhang began to pick her up and commute to work, and began to tell her how to dress and deal with her hair every day.

Mr. Zhang would also touch Ouyang Lai's leg intentionally or unintentionally while driving.

Ouyang Lai will only respond to similar situations with nervousness.

Until this day, Chen Li came to the company to see Ouyang Lai, and Mr. Zhang proposed to have a dinner in the afternoon.

And this day happened to be the thirtieth day of Ouyang Lai's arrival in the company, and the season has quietly entered the middle of summer.

Ouyang Lai was very excited, and took Chen Li's hand and went to various offices.

Just as the two girls were chatting happily at the front desk, Mr. Zhang came out with a briefcase and gently patted Ouyang Lai's shoulder: "Let's go."

Ouyang Lai's body was shocked, and he had patted himself on the shoulder more than once.

This is a simple and single action, but it makes Ouyang Lai a little mixed.

Or Chen Li took the lead in looking back at Mr. Zhang: "Will Ouyang and I both take your car?" ”

Mr. Zhang nodded: "Well, you two sit in the back row." ”

..........................

The car drove steadily on the second ring road.

The retreating streetscape becomes a little shaky as the summer air becomes a little shaky, like a sign of melting.

Ouyang Lai thought for a long time, but still leaned over, lowered his voice and whispered to Chen Li: "Senior sister, I think Mr. Zhang has been weird recently. ”

Chen Li smiled unhindered, and lowered her head to play with her new mobile phone: "What's wrong?" ”

Ouyang Lai compared his lips with his index finger: "Be quiet." ”

Chen Li put down her phone and asked her in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Ouyang Lai pursed his lips, twisted his brows and said, "He has always touched me intentionally or unintentionally recently....."

A complicated look flashed in Chen Li's eyes: "Touch? ”

Ouyang Lai lowered his voice, and there was news from the radio in the carriage, which just happened to cover the voices of the girls in the back row.

"Actually, it's the shoulders and legs, and it's not intentional, but I always think it's weird....."

Chen Li patted her hand: "What do I think, how normal is this, when you are familiar with the relationship, you will naturally subconsciously have some physical contact, look at me, I don't want to touch you now...."

As she spoke, Chen Li gently poked Ouyang Lai's waist with her hand.

Ouyang Lai smiled lightly, and the two girls frolicked together.

Mr. Zhang turned his head at this time, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "What is so happy?" ”

Ouyang Lai immediately secretly pulled the corner of Chen Li's clothes, and Chen Li also replied with a smile: "I'm teasing Ouyang...."

Ouyang Lai nodded hurriedly, and Mr. Zhang turned his head again and looked ahead.

Chen Li leaned over again and lowered her voice: "You, relax, it's nothing..."

With Chen Li's comfort, Ouyang Lai also began to feel that he was making a fuss, so he started another topic and talked all the way to the restaurant where he ate.

.......................

Dinner is not a party, it looks like a gathering of friends that Chen Li and Mr. Zhang both know.

It's said to be a friend, but it's not much like a friend.

Some are very young, and some are older than Mr. Zhang.

But Chen Li knows them all.

They discussed things like "the domestication of human nature" during the banquet, and they were in full swing.

Ouyang Lai sounded a little creepy, but Chen Li on the side was accustomed to it, and frequently toasted with those who discussed the "domestication of human nature".

Not only did Chen Li drink a lot of wine, but she pulled Ouyang Lai to start drinking as well.

At first, Ouyang Lai refused, but he couldn't resist Chen Li's persuasion, so he had to pick up the cup and taste it.

That was Ouyang Lai's first time drinking.

And the first time I drank wine, I drank a whole bottle of red wine.

Naturally drunk unconscious.

Seeing that she was quickly drunk, the entire box put down their chopsticks and wine glasses as if they had pressed the prohibition switch.

Those who discussed the "domestication of human nature" began to smile at Mr. Zhang, smiling with an ambiguous aura.

And those slightes of breath are full of danger.

One of them stood up and said, "This little girl has subtly thought of herself as an accessory, and that's good." ”

Mr. Zhang picked his eyes: "How can you see it?" She's one of my worst prey. ”

The man talked eloquently: "I didn't drink just now, and if you only said one word, she took it as an order." ”

Mr. Zhang raised his lips and smiled: "If you want to completely domesticate her, it depends on tonight." ”

The man nodded, and turned to Chen Li again: "Miss Chen is rich in resources, when will you give us a change of taste?" ”

Chen Li lit a cigarette: "As long as the money is in place, I will find it for you." ”

The man gave Chen Li a glass of wine, but she stopped him: "The task is completed, I won't drink any more glasses, and there will be a charge for drinking." ”

Mr. Zhang opened his mouth with a show off in his tone: "You are also one of my more successful works, and now you are also used by me." ”

A trace of disgust flashed in the corners of Chen Li's eyes, but this disgust was quickly dissipated.

She got up and took her bag, and said to Ouyang Lai, who was already drunk, "Ask for more blessings." ”

Then he said goodbye to everyone and left the box first.

......................................

Chen Li, who left the box, rushed to the back alley of the hotel and began to vomit frantically.

After vomiting, she clutched her bag tightly and curled up in the corner of the wall and cried uncontrollably.

The picture flashed here, and Chen Li vomited again.

The back alleys are filled with the smell of garbage and sewers, as well as the smell of wild dog excrement.

Chen Li pulled up the memo on her phone and drew the last stroke on a page where nothing was written, only an unfinished "positive" character.
