Chapter Eighty-Five: The Peach Blossoms Begin to Bloom
She woke up at six o'clock in the morning and found herself lying in bed, and remembering the scene of last night, she remembered that she had been crouching under the bed, curled up. The only explanation is that Wang Mengliang came in last night when she was asleep. She opened the door gently, and the living room was empty, with no sign of him, and the inspection report was on the coffee table.
She could see in the bathroom mirror that her eyes were red and swollen, and that yesterday's makeup had been spent. It was still early, so she took a shower first.
When I was about to enter the room, I found a sticky note on the door, which read: "Wife, remember to have breakfast." There is also a "heart" drawn in the lower right. She felt that the "love" was very dazzling, so she tore it off and crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash. She thought about it last night, and even if she guessed, he couldn't admit it without evidence, so she decided to look for evidence of his betrayal - that is, to find the owner of the hair.
In order to hide the red and swollen eye sockets, she deepened her eyes and wore a pair of sunglasses.
"Shen Yin, what are you going to do today?" Zhang Huan walked in with a cup of coffee and saw that she was still wearing sunglasses in the company.
"It's okay, I stayed up late last night." She smiled helplessly.
Zhang Huan made an "OK" gesture and walked into his office. Today, the popularity of the "Fan Chen" studio has increased, the office area has been expanded by one floor, and Zhang Huan has now become a design manager, managing five or six people under his hands. Shen Yin also became the head of comics, managing eight or nine employees.
Gong Weihan walked over excitedly, put his palms together, and prayed, "Shen Yin, I have something urgent, you can help me come up with an idea." ”
"What's wrong? You speak slowly. ”
"That's right." Gong Weihan pulled a chair and sat beside her, "Do you remember the last time you saw Sun Miao at the book launch?" When I contacted him recently, I wanted to talk about cooperation, but he readily agreed. ”
"Oh, that's a good thing."
Gong Weihan rarely showed a shy look, hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you go with me this time?" ”
Shen Yin looked like she knew it in her chest, "But I'm afraid I can't go out to meet people today, you still ......" She took off her sunglasses, revealing her swollen eyes.
"Don't worry, I have a way to make your swelling go down quickly." Gong Weihan confidently finished speaking and left.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, there was still an hour before Gong Weihan's agreed time, and the message Gong Weihan sent her read: "Shen Yin, I have already told Sister Ning, you can pack up and leave." ”
She replied with a smiling meme.
Gong Weihan is one year younger than her, and a boyfriend who has been talking for five years proposed to break up half a year ago, when she was sad for a long time. Shen Yin still remembered that Gong Weihan mentioned her resignation because of this incident, and Yang Ning was very angry when she knew the reason for her resignation, and rushed into her house at ten o'clock that night to give her an "ideological education lesson". Afterwards, Gong Weihan no longer mentioned resignation, and this relationship ended here.
The client he was going to see this time, Sun Miao, Shen Yin saw that Gong Weihan was very special to him, since they were book lovers and writers, they must have more topics to talk about, so he planned to sit for a while and leave.
The location they agreed on was a barbecue restaurant, and the location was chosen by Sun Miao. It was exactly 3:50 a.m. when they arrived, and there were almost no customers in the store, and after Gong Weihan reported her name, a girl in white overalls led them into a private room.
Since entering, Gong Weihan has been staring at his mobile phone, and after four o'clock, Sun Miao has not yet appeared. "Shen Yin, do you think he won't come?"
Shen Yin took a sip of water, "Let's wait, you see if he has a reply?" ”
Gong Weihan shook her head, she was obviously very nervous now.
"By the way, how is your grandma doing?" In order to relieve the tension, Gong Weihan changed the topic and said: "Last time, you said that you had been transferred back to your hometown to recuperate. ”
"Well, it's stable for the time being, but it's hard to say."
"You can rest assured, everything will be fine." Gong Weihan held her hand and encouraged her.
Fifteen minutes later, Sun Miao appeared. He wears a black T-shirt, khaki slacks, and dark blue sneakers. "Sorry, I'm late." He smiled apologetically, his gaze falling on Gong Weihan. She deliberately dressed up today, painted elaborate makeup, and wore a light blue shirt and a dark skirt to match.
"Ah, we just arrived, this is my colleague - Shen Yin, who is in charge of comic design."
"Hello!" Shen Yin greeted him.
"Hello, let's sit down first and talk slowly." He sat opposite Gong Weihan, and the dishes were already ready.
"The last time I went to the book launch event you hosted, it was very successful, so I came here to discuss cooperation with you. Weiwei has already sent the contract, and I have read it too. I'm working with other publishers, and I recently came up with a new book that I would like to publish in your studio. "Sun Miao took out a document, which was an outline." The book is not yet complete, so I can only show you an outline. ”
Gong Weihan's eyes flashed, "You are so amazing, I remember that "Confessions of a Loneliness" was only finished last month, and there will be a new book so soon!" ”
"Recently, there has been a surge of ideas, and we have to take advantage of it. As you know, writing a book is all about inspiration, and if you don't have inspiration, you won't be able to come up with a good work if you rack your brains. Sun Miao smiled modestly.
"That's right, but you still have to go to various places to participate in book signing during this time, so you must be very short of time, right?" Shen Yin felt that he was calm and persistent in literature, which was basically consistent with the evaluation of him on the Internet.
"Yes, but I also find time to write, because that's what I do, and I can't stop because of these empty reputations."
"What do you like to do besides writing books?" Shen Yin glanced at Gong Weihan and pulled the distance between the two of them first.
Sun Miao smiled, "I'm a relatively homely person, except for writing at home, I only have to take care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard." He thought for a moment and continued: "I have raised a few pots of epiphyllum flowers, and they have already grown a few buds, which will open in the near future, and I still want to wait for them to bloom and take a few pictures. ”
"Ah, epiphany usually blooms at night, and I haven't seen it open yet."
"If you want to see it, I'll invite you when the time comes, and you'll know if you come and see."
"Okay, thank you so much."
Seeing that the time had come, Shen Yin planned to slip away and leave the two of them alone time, "I'm sorry, I'll go to the bathroom." She hid her bag behind her and walked out.
Out of the hotel, she sent a message to Gong Weihan, "I'm leaving, you give me a chance." He also sent a snickering emoji.
There wasn't too much traffic on the road now, and she walked aimlessly, the sound of promotions in the roadside shops echoing behind her, but she couldn't hear what they were shouting. Walking to a park, the mobile phone rang, it was Wang Mengliang's call, she pressed answer, and his voice came, "Wife, it's me, let's go home tonight to talk, I'll pick you up." ”
"No, I'll wait for you at home."
"Alright, we'll see you at home."
Shen Yin hung up the phone, a wave of sadness welled up in her heart, and she sat on a chair in the park to hide her face and cry bitterly.
