Chapter 3 Waste Paper
There are still 120 days left before everyone goes missing.
After the autumnal equinox, it gets colder in a blink of an eye, and after the summer days with long days and short nights, the winter evenings always come very quickly.
It was only 7:18 a.m., the lights were already bright outside the window, and the vehicles on the road were pulled out of the long convoy because of the signal lights.
For a while, it was bustling outside.
It's just that the lights and noises don't seem to attract the attention of this little studio, which seems to be a wonderful employee, addicted to the sea of work.
Several long tables are put together, surrounded by black computer chairs, and between each chair there is a small storage cabinet separating a separate area.
There are different ornaments on the left and right of the computer placed on the table, and it is conceivable that each computer and chair here has a corresponding owner.
Under the illumination of the incandescent lamp, in a corner slightly by the window, Bai Minyi was seriously burying herself in front of the computer, her fingers jumping quickly on the keyboard, as if she was typing something.
It was a summary report of the work she had prepared for tomorrow morning's conference, a full 5 pages of content, but she deleted and wrote, wrote and deleted, and it seemed that there were many words that could not clearly express the priorities of her work during this time.
And at the moment before she was working this document, Tao Xuyang, who was the last to leave, reminded her that tonight was her birthday party, Bai Jiayi would come back from school, and remember to get off work early.
At that time, how did she respond?
"Got it, before 7 o'clock, I'll be there."
As a result, two hours passed, and she seemed to have forgotten that promise.
By the time the road calmed down and the number of pedestrians rushing home had gradually decreased, the white round electronic clock on the studio wall had set its hands at 8 o'clock.
"Ahh Birthday Party! Bai Minyi, who finally came back from work, habitually glanced at the electronic watch on her wrist and exclaimed.
There is no doubt that tonight, she released her sister Bai Jiayi's pigeons because of overtime.
"Hello? Jiayi? In the process of scrambling to clean up, she took the time to turn the touchscreen phone into external mode and dialed her sister's number.
For people in contemporary society, owning a high-end smartphone seems to be nothing new, and owning a mobile phone with a full touch screen and an Apple logo on the back is simply synonymous with the rich.
Therefore, Bai Minyi's white Apple mobile phone once became the envy of everyone in the studio.
"Yo! Miss Bai still remembers her little sister, I thought ......" At the other end, Bai Jiayi teased her sister humorously, and did not forget to nag a few words between words.
On the contrary, Bai Minyi used the small mirror she carried with her to make up her makeup, and used a comb to comb the broken hair that was bulging because of her braids, and replied with a smile.
In the end, Bai Minyi glanced at the clean desktop, picked up her shoulder bag, held the mobile phone in one hand, turned off the external mode, chatted, and checked around to see if there was a computer that had not been turned off and the electric switch had not been pulled.
Bai Jiayi naturally didn't continue to argue for her sister to apologize, and after the two sisters chatted casually, the other end of the phone seemed to have changed.
I saw Bai Minyi suddenly blush, and said angrily: "It's not because of your big meeting tomorrow that I won't work overtime." ”
After that, when I heard what the other end said, I regained my smile and said coquettishly: "I don't care, you come to pick me up." I'm still hungry. ”
In the end, Bai Minyi leaned on the corner of the table, holding the mobile phone and chatting until 9 o'clock in the evening, before reluctantly hanging up the mobile phone.
Just as she was about to leave the studio, the all-in-one machine on the side of the water dispenser suddenly spit out a white A4 paper.
Bai Minyi was curious, in the middle of the night, who was still working overtime to send faxes?
She stepped forward and picked up the paper, and the white paper was written crookedly, in large dark red letters, and the font looked like human fingers were scribbled with red paint, like ordinary graffiti, and it didn't mean anything.
It's just that the word "save me" on it seems extraordinarily permeable in this dark night.
“…… Practical joke? Bai Minyi hesitated for a moment, she carefully observed the all-in-one machine, only to find that she had turned off the main power of the machine when she checked the electrical switch.
It stands to reason that there shouldn't be a fax unless someone hacks the machine's program.
Bai Minyi frustrated the paper and threw it into the trash.
At the right time, the mobile phone in the satchel rang a pleasant ringtone, she quickly answered, then said a few words of apology, hurriedly left the studio, and locked the door.
Suddenly, the empty studio, after regaining a short calm, suddenly flashed a few white lights on the all-in-one machine.
A4 paper printed with the words "save me" spit out from the plane, flew out of the plane, raised an elegant arc, and then fell to the ground like snowflakes in winter.
Let's say that after Bai Minyi went downstairs, what caught her eye was a silver-white car, and the person in the main driver's seat was familiar, she smiled and waved her hand, opened the passenger door, and leaned over to sit in.
Tao Xuyang, who was in the main driver, stretched out his hand helplessly, brushed her hair, and said, "If I had known, I shouldn't have reminded you." ”
"Why?" Bai Minyi, who fastened the seat belt, looked at him with a confused face, her big eyes watery, like a gentle puppy waiting to be caressed by her owner.
Tao Xuyang scratched the bridge of her nose, shifted his attention to the car, and said while starting the engine: "I, I should take you away when I get off work." Because then I can keep you by my side all the time. ”
"Huh! Slippery. Bai Minyi blushed and stuck out her tongue.
After listening to the other party's reply, after sitting down, the car had safely driven into the main road and ran in the direction of Bai Minyi's house.
Bai Minyi sat quietly in the passenger seat, and closed her eyes after a while.
She believes in Tao Xuyang's technique.
Believed from a long time ago.
When Bai Jiayi grew up, Bai Minyi discovered that her sister was different from herself.
I like to sit quietly on the side, read books, draw, and my sister likes to follow her father everywhere.
I can't sit long distances, and even take an ordinary car to a place a little farther away from home, I will get dizzy, but my sister can't.
So when she first met Tao Xuyang, she was very afraid of taking his car.
It's just that Tao Xuyang is more patient than anyone else, and is willing to help her guide her step by step, enhance her physique little by little, and finally, let her get used to going out by car.
Even when everyone forced Bai Minyi to get a driver's license, she was willing to become her driver for life.
Even if others look down on Bai Minyi and ridicule Bai Minyi for being timid, he has never changed, because Tao Xuyang knows what kind of person Bai Minyi is.
