Chapter 67: Separation
As soon as Shen Yin went to the company, Yang Ning came over and said to her: "The people from the Ben Lan company are urging, we must speed up the progress, and hand over the things to them by next Tuesday at the latest." ”
"Got it, but why are they urging so hard, if it's urgent, they should have prepared it earlier?" Shen Yin took a glass of boiled water, Yang Ning motioned for her to sit down, and whispered in her ear: "According to the grapevine, they are going to hold a new product launch conference next month." ”
Shen Yin immediately realized something, and hurriedly turned on the computer, "Okay, I know, you go, I'm going to start working." ”
"Shen Yin, I'll put the words in front, don't work with emotions." Yang Ning said uneasily.
Shen Yin smiled lightly: "Don't worry." ”
After Yang Ning left, Shen Yin opened the browser and searched for the word "Shengxiang", and the first link that popped up on the screen was a related report about the failure of Shengxiang's mobile phone.
"Despicable!" She was so angry that she almost threw the mouse away. Suddenly, she felt very self-reproachful, and at this moment, all in her mind was Wang Mengliang's calm face from last night. She scolded herself fiercely in her heart, "You are such an idiot, he has so many things going on now, and I said such excessive things to him last night." ”
"Forget it, don't think about it, let's hurry up and finish what we're doing." She patted her face, moved her neck, and threw herself into her work.
By the time she finished her work, it was already 12 noon. Yang Ning came over and called her to go to dinner together, only to see that after she went to pick up a cup of coffee, she returned to the computer and continued to draw.
"You're such a workaholic, I'll help you bring the food back?"
She took a cup of coffee and made an "OK" gesture.
By the evening, the new sketch had been completed, and it was time to hand it over to the technical department to work on the special effects.
She handed the sketch to Yang Ning, "How long will it take for this advertisement to be completed?" ”
Yang Ning thought for a while, "Under normal circumstances, it takes at least one month, but considering the special situation this time, it will take at least two weeks." ”
Shen Yin looked at the calendar on his phone, "Okay, remember to notify me when it comes out." ”
Yang Ning nodded and smiled lightly.
On the way back, there was a bubble tea shop, and she bought a cup of milk tea and drank it as she walked. The heat in the cup dispelled the cold on her body, and she kicked the pebbles on the side of the road at will, and suddenly, she looked up and saw the movie theater next to her. The big LED screen is showing the recently released promotional video of "Strange Talk: Snow Charm", which is based on Zhou Fansheng's novel "The Charm". She had read the novel before and was very touched by the short but legendary life experience of the snow monster. She went to the front desk and bought two tickets for half past eight, and sat in the lounge area and waited.
At 8:25, Wang Mengliang appeared in the hall in a dark blue suit.
"Let's go, it's time to check the tickets." She ran her fingers through the hair around her ear and walked ahead of him.
He smiled and kept up with her.
When they entered the theater, Wang Mengliang was stunned, only the parents and children were sitting in the room, and there were no young people except them.
Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Shen Yin took his hand and walked to their seat and sat down.
"What kind of movie is this? Are we in the wrong place? He saw a little boy next to him looking at them all the time, and asked in a low voice.
Shen Yin smiled and looked at the big screen.
The little boy next to him saw the big screen light up and excitedly shouted to his mother, "The snow monster is out!" ”
The boy's mother looked around embarrassedly and whispered to the boy, "Be quiet, or the snow monster will be scared away by you." ”
The boy immediately became very well-behaved, staring at the big screen with relish.
When Wang Mengliang saw this scene, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile.
Time back to twelve years ago, that summer, they had just finished the high school entrance examination, he used the money he earned from his part-time job to buy three movie tickets, in order to be able to call Su Yuqian out, he went to Shen Yin first. At that time, he was wearing a white T-shirt and dark blue shorts, and appeared at the door of Shen Yin's house on a bicycle.
Shen Yin had just cut his hair short at that time, his oblique bangs were attached to both sides of his forehead, and he wore a red headband, he walked up to Shen Yin with a little embarrassment, took out two slightly wrinkled movie tickets and said to Shen Yin: "Can you and Su Yuqian come out for two and a half hours tonight, I want to invite you to watch a movie?" ”
Shen Yin took the movie ticket and glanced at it, and nodded, "Okay, we'll see you at the door of the cinema at six o'clock in the afternoon." ”
On the way back, he was very happy, because tonight was going to be an extraordinary night for him - he was going to confess to Su Yuqian.
After returning home, he took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and waited for Shen Yin and them at the door of the movie theater early.
At half past six, Su Yuqian wore a pale pink princess dress, her shoulder-length hair was tied a half-pill on the top of her head, and the rest of her hair was scattered. When he walked in to take a closer look, he found that Su Yuqian was wearing a pair of pearl earrings, which looked particularly pure against the backdrop of the setting sun.
Shen Yin put the bicycle in an open place, walked over to them and said, "You guys go in first, I'm going to buy a box of crayons for my sister." ”
Wang Mengliang raised his eyes and saw that there was a stationery store at the door of the movie theater, "Okay, then you come over quickly." ”
They went in together, and Su Yuqian sat on his right, and when he bought the ticket, there were no three seats connected together, so Shen Yin's seat was behind him. But the movie has been showing for ten minutes, and Shen Yin has not yet come in. Su Yuqian began to worry, and at that time he couldn't help but regret his decision to bring Shen Yin over.
He put down the popcorn and soda in his hand and walked out of the movie theater, he went to the stationery store next door, asked the owner of the store, and they said that she had left twenty minutes ago. Just as he was looking around, he saw Shen Yin standing in a corner in a daze.
"What are you doing standing here? The movie has already begun. He walked over and said, not noticing her red eyes.
Shen Yin lowered his head and said in a low voice: "I don't like the environment inside, I'll just wait for you here." ”
He insisted: "It's not all outside, let's go inside, there is still more than an hour before the end of the movie." ”
In the end, Shen Yin, at his insistence, went in.
"What's wrong? Shen Yin, are you alright? Su Yuqian asked with concern, but her eyes fell on him.
Shen Yin shook his head slightly, and sat down according to the seat number on the ticket.
There are a lot of people in this theater, there is no air conditioning inside, and it feels unusually hot and humid on summer nights. Shen Yin had just taken a sip of water, and the smell of her feet wafting from nowhere made her feel sick. To her right sat a young couple, the girl leaning on the boy's shoulder and chewing gum, and on the left was a fashionably dressed big boy who looked cool with a pair of glasses. Although she couldn't see the boy's appearance clearly, she felt that the boy had been staring at her, intentionally or unintentionally, so she moved to the right. As soon as she sat down, the boy on her right seemed to feel his arm numb, and leaned closer to her. She endured the boys on both sides depriving her of space, intentionally or unintentionally, without a trace of the mood to watch a movie. A spy war movie was playing on the big screen of this incident, and there were a few laughs from time to time in the crowd, and her mood became even more irritable.
After five minutes, the fashionable boy on the left began to shake his legs, and she sat even more uncomfortable. She looked around, and everyone was staring at the screen, laughing or serious. She bowed down, approached Su Yuqian's seat, patted her on the back, and whispered in her ear, "I want to go back, so I'll leave first." ”
Su Yuqian was a little reluctant, but she still didn't keep her, and only said, "Be careful on the road!" ”
She walked out of the theater and suddenly felt how fresh the air outside was, and she stretched out her arms and felt very comfortable. She tossed her movie ticket into the trash and walked to the car parking lot.
Wang Mengliang patted her on the shoulder, handed her a bottle of banana-flavored nutrition express, and said with a smile: "Thank you!" ”
Shen Yin didn't reply, and accepted the bottle of Nutrition Express, "Then I'll go." ”
"Well, stay safe on the road." Wang Mengliang waved at her.
When she got home, she took out the diary she had written before and tore up all the contents about Wang Mengliang on it. From that day on, she never saw him again, and she didn't go to play with Su Yuqian anymore. After the results of the high school entrance examination came down, she gave up her agreement with Su Yuqian and chose another high school in the county.
A month after the start of her first year of high school, she heard from her grandmother that Su Yuqian and her mother had moved to the county seat. It was already the winter vacation of the third year of high school when she met Su Yuqian again, Su Yuqian cut off her waist-length hair and replaced it with shoulder-length hair in the middle, her skin became a lot whiter, and her figure was still so slim. I haven't seen each other for two years, but there is no life between them, Su Yuqian hugged her and said angrily: "Shen Yin, you really have no conscience, our school is a twenty-minute drive away, but you don't come to me?" ”
She smiled slightly, as if apologizing, "I heard that you chose science, and the teacher of No. 1 Middle School is very strict, I think you should be very busy all day, so I don't want to bother you." ”
Su Yuqian let go of her and pinched her fleshy face, "You, it's always like this, you're afraid of bothering others, you bury everything in your heart, and you don't want to say it." Although I'm very busy, I usually have time on weekends, so you can come to my mother's place and we'll make you something to eat. ”
"I know Auntie's craft, but the two schools we are in either make up classes on Saturday or Sunday, and we don't have the opportunity to spend weekends together at all, and I sometimes have to go back during the holidays." Shen Yin explained.
"Look, it's because you didn't choose the same high school as me in the first place, and now it's like this, isn't it all your fault?"
"Okay, it's all my fault for this, so don't worry about it anymore, but we can all do what we want to do and fight for our dreams, and this result is actually not bad." Shen Yin smiled: "You used to say that you like geography and dream of being a geographical surveyor, but now you choose science, I want to be a cartoonist or screenwriter, so I choose liberal arts, I really hope our dream can come true?" ”
"Yes, we were too young at that time, who ever thought that we would have to face so many choices when we grew up, and sometimes after making too many choices, it is often easier to forget our original choices." Su Yuqian sighed with emotion, sighed, and laughed at herself: "Now I know that I can't become a geographical surveyor, and I guess I can only be a geography teacher." ”
"What's that? At least you can work in a geography-related industry. ”
Su Yuqian thought for a while and smiled, "Yes, I think it's not bad to hear you say that." ”
They talked for three hours that day, and then they returned to their respective lives, like two parabolas, meeting only at one point.
