Chapter 15: Avoidance

This is the first time Lin Luo has eaten such a sumptuous dinner since he worked overtime, and even such a small gesture in the city made of cold steel seems extremely warm.

After eating with Lin Luo, Song Xiaoxiao left the company with garbage. In the office where only one person remains, only the sound of the keyboard accompanies the forest in the long dark night.

In the same building, in addition to the floor where Lin Luo is located, an office on the top floor is also brightly lit. In addition to the neon lights that dot the perimeter of the building, the two brightly lit offices echo each other in the dark.

With the last stop, Lin Luo stretched his waist. The first two digits of the small green clock next to the computer show zero neatly, and it is another day before getting off work at midnight.

Turning off the computer, Lin Luo packed up his things, and did not forget to turn off the lights in the office before leaving.

Yawning and taking the elevator downstairs, Lin Luo walked to the door of the company building, only to find that it was raining outside.

The rain was pouring down, and even the drivers of online ride-hailing platforms were reluctant to take orders. Lin Luo stood under the eaves, and dark clouds rolled in the dark night sky.

"Grove."

Hearing someone calling him behind him, Lin Luo looked back and found Shao Yang walking out of the company.

"Shao Yang, why are you still in the company?" Lin Luo looked at the person who appeared in front of him in surprise.

Shao Yang walked to the vicinity of the forest: "I'm working overtime in the company, and I've just finished it." ”

Noticing the backpack behind Lin Luo, Shao raised his eyebrows: "You also just came home from work?" ”

Lin Luo nodded and took a step back: "Yes, I didn't expect it to rain." ”

Lin Luo thought that she had retreated without leaving a trace, but she didn't want Shao Yang to notice her movements. Shao Yang's eyes darkened, and he smiled on his face: "It's not convenient to take a taxi now, I'll send you back." ”

Lin Luo's face was stunned, it was best to have someone who could send him home when it was raining heavily in the middle of the night, but this person was Shao Yang.

The wrong time, the wrong place. Lin Luo didn't want to have too much involvement with Shao Yang to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"No, my friend will come and pick me up in a moment."

Lin Luo's explanation was too harsh, she had always been reluctant to disturb other people's lives, not to mention that she would not do anything to let others get up from the warm quilt and brave the heavy rain to pick her up at such a late night.

Thinking of the last time she went to her house for dinner, Lin Luo also called her best friend together, what was she guarding herself against?

was ostracized by Lin Luo one after another, Shao Yang's eyes were dyed with a thin layer of anger, and he stepped forward and stuffed the umbrella into Lin Luo's arms: "Even if you can't be a lover, you don't have to treat me as a cow ghost and snake god to avoid it, I can't eat you!" ”

Given the umbrella, Shao Yang rushed into the rain with a chest full of anger.

Lin Luo was hit in the heart by Shao Yang's words, and looked at the other party's back in the heavy rain.

She knows very well what she is like now, how can she have delusional thoughts about having a relationship with Shao Yang. Even if it was a childhood sweetheart before, those past events have long since become shallow with time.

What's more, when she quit the marriage, what face did she have to go to Shao Yang again.

Lin Luo was preoccupied, and when he looked for Shao Yang's figure again, he found that the other party was gone.

As Shao Yang, he should be able to drive. Lin Luo glanced at the night sky and comforted himself silently.

Holding out Shao Yang's umbrella, Lin Luo walked a distance and waited on the side of the street for a few minutes before stopping a taxi, which avoided walking all the way home in the rain.

After returning home, Lin Luo took a shower, standing under the warm stream of water, Lin Luo recalled in his mind what Shao Yang said to himself at the door of the company just now, the relationship between them has long passed, and even the slightest ripple of love has fallen into silence, if there is anything between them, some are just the word "old friends".

Lin Luo sorted out his thoughts, dried his hair and went to bed early. Today's shift is over, and I don't know what time I will get off work tomorrow.

Heavy rain overnight did not affect the sunny weather of the next day.

Under the clear blue sky, the air is filled with the freshness of the rain. Lin Luo changed into a white professional suit, and after a few days of suffering, a patch of cyan appeared under his eyes.

Coming to the company on time, Lin Luo squeezed into the elevator with the crowd, and when he went to work in the morning, the elevator was already crowded with people, but there were still a batch of people at the door who did not squeeze up.

Lin Luo was squeezed into the corner, and his colleagues around him were discussing fresh gossip.

For this kind of gossip, Lin Luo never dared to be interested. Lin Luo was drowsy and drowsy, and at this moment, a familiar name squeezed into Lin Luo's ears.

"Chang Special Assistant, why haven't I seen Mr. Shao's car parked at the door of the company in the past two days." A sweet female voice sounded in the elevator, and the question made everyone else in the elevator prick up their ears as well.

Chang Zhan, Chang Special Assistant, is Shao Yang's special assistant, has been by Shao Yang's side for many years, and is also one of Shao Yang's most trusted confidants.

Pushing the glasses between the bridge of his nose, Chang Zhan only responded to the other party briefly: "It rained last night, and Mr. Shao had a cold and fever and rested at home." ”

This passage exploded in Lin Luo's ears, and he ...... last night The back of Shao Yang leaving in the rain appeared in Lin Luo's mind. Did he walk back last night in the rain all the way?

Lin Luo was in a state of confusion, she had brought too much trouble to Shao Yang during this time, she didn't want to trouble Shao Yang, but Shao Yang was still sick because of her.

Lin Luo wanted to ask Chang Zhan about Shao Yang's specific situation, but his eyes touched the other party, and he couldn't say anything about concern.

She cares about Shao Yang, but on what basis and what qualifications and positions does she have to care about him. Looking at the crowd around you, if you suddenly ask about the situation, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings, too abrupt!

Until Lin Luo stepped out of the elevator, he didn't ask that sentence. Lost and walked into the office.

Lin Luo hesitated, she had been avoiding Shao Yang, but this time Shao Yang was indeed sick because of her.

After hesitating again and again, the distance from the elevator to the office, Lin Luo's heart had already experienced a battle between heaven and man.

In the end, Lin Luo still cheered up and turned around and went directly into the department manager's office.

"Knock knock."

Lin Luo stood at the door, and waited until the voice of agreement came from behind the door before Lin Luo opened the door and walked in.

When I just went to work, Manager Cui had just come to the company not long ago. Seeing Lin Luo who pushed the door in, the look of surprise on his face flashed, and he didn't know what the other party had come to find him so early.

"Lin Luo, is there anything wrong with looking for me so early?" Manager Cui is doing it in an office chair with documents in his hand.

Lin Luo stood opposite Manager Cui: "Manager Cui, I want to take half a day off, and I am in a bit of a hurry in the afternoon." ”

"But I won't delay the progress of the work, I can come back tonight to work overtime, and I will make up for it tomorrow."

Listening to Lin Luo's somewhat anxious words, Manager Cui waved his hand: "You are really tired these days, and I also see it in my eyes." ”

"That's it, anyway, now that the project you're following up is nearing completion, you don't have to come back to work overtime tonight, go home and have a good rest." Manager Cui paused: "Work is important, but the body is more important than work." ”
