Three hours later.

The phone rang, and it was already eighty-one.

Jiang Yao nestled in the sofa and looked up at the phone screen weakly.

On the first day of her salary in the restaurant, she rented a house in a small area, which was spacious and bright, and completely disagreed with the place where she used to live.

Every day, she watched the sun shine through the balcony and the moonlight shining through the windows on the wooden floor, occasionally missing the small space in the rental room, but after all, it was not the same as before.

Such a life is too illusory, the material and physical satisfaction is extreme, but the spirit is always empty.

Finally, she moved.

Jiang Yao reached out and took the phone, looked at the name of "Zhou Zheng" flashing on the screen, took a deep breath and picked it up: "Hey? ”

Zhou Zheng didn't seem to expect her to answer the phone, and after being stunned for a few seconds, he breathed a sigh of relief and stammered, "You, where are you?" I thought it was ...... Why did you leave all of a sudden? ”

"I'm a little sick to my stomach." Jiang Yao casually pulled out a reason, squeezed out a smile, and tried her best to make her voice sound a little energetic, "I thought that I had been working for so long, so I might as well give myself a vacation, so I came back." Now that the store has enough people and the branch is starting to prepare, we don't have to be so nervous. ”

"Hmm...... You're right. ”

All that remains is a long silence.

"That cake ......," Zhou Zheng suddenly mustered up the courage to speak.

"Shall we start our shift tomorrow?" Jiang Yao interrupted him.

Zhou Zheng's fingertips were cold, and his expression sank.

Is this really going to happen......

"Why? The new store needs to be prepared, and we have to meet to continue to discuss the preparations. Zhou Zheng said.

Jiang Yao smiled: "We can also discuss it on WeChat." ”

Zhou Zheng lost his words - yes, he was stupid, now it is so convenient...... I said the wrong thing in a hurry just now.

"I want to ...... I'd like to meet with you to discuss! He said.

"I've been a little tired lately, and I haven't had much rest since the restaurant opened, so I suddenly felt uncomfortable today. Probably due to physical reasons, since there has been improvement, it is better to rest for a while, and you are the same, as long as one of the two of us is in the store, we don't have to stare at it every day. I watched the cooks and waiters do their duty, and we just don't neglect others in terms of wages. ”

Zhou Zheng really couldn't think of any reason to refuse, so he held back his strength for a long time before he said, "Do you really want to cut off contact with me?" ”

Jiang Yao felt a pang in her heart, and still smiled on her face: "Where are we, aren't we partners?" With you as a partner, I am very relieved, how can I cut off contact. ”

"Yaoyao, you know what I'm talking about."

"Of course I do, and you know I don't want to hear it." Jiang Yao rarely responded.

But with such a crisp response, every time he said it, Zhou Zheng's heart sank to the bottom.

"Okay...... If you don't want to hear it, I won't say it. You have a good rest, I'll be in the store tomorrow. ”

Jiang Yao let out a soft "um" and hung up the phone.

As soon as the phone was cut off, Jiang Yao looked at the ceiling alone again.

The other side.

Zhou Zheng reached out and grabbed his hair fiercely, fell on the bed, and sent a message to Jiang Zilin and Lin Jiayijian's group.

"I failed...... Yaoyao said that she wanted to work in shifts with me, she should really want to match me and Ning Lan, and she never wanted to see me again. ”

The news rang, but it was not from the group, but from Ning Lan.

Zhou Zheng glanced at it weakly.

"Ning Lan: Are you free tomorrow? Please eat. ”

He just wanted to say no, but he thought of something, squinted, and replied: "Yes." ”

There are some things to be clear. Even if it wasn't Jiang Yao, he didn't want that person to be Ning Lan. So for Ning Lan, he has to simply refuse, otherwise it will not be good for Ning Lan if it drags on for a long time.

Ning Lan immediately sent a laughing expression: "I thought you would reject me, haha......"

"See you tomorrow."

After determining the time and place, Zhou Zheng covered the quilt and slowly fell asleep in a state of worry.

The next day.

The appointed time was at night, Zhou Zheng arrived at the agreed place very early to wait, the location was a cruise ship, and the cruise ship would cross the entire river and back tonight, so they had enough time to explain things clearly.

At the same time, Jiang Yao's family.

"Ding-dong—" The doorbell rang.

Jiang Yao stepped on her little rabbit slippers and walked to the door, and when she opened the door, she saw Lin Jiayi's smiling face.

"Jiayi?" Jiang Yao was surprised.

"And me." Jiang Zilin also appeared.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard Zhou Zheng say that you are sick, so I came to see you. It doesn't seem to be really sick now, right? Lin Jiayi went straight to the point: "Since it's not a real illness, go out with us?" ”

"Now?"

"Of course it's now, it's only eight o'clock, it's just late, I haven't heard that there is a batch of employee benefits recently, we took three cruise tickets tonight, how about a walk together?"

Jiang Yao was silent and nodded: "Okay." "It's good to go out, she's about to suffocate when she's holding it alone.

"Pack up and go, right?"

Jiang Yao turned around and went back to the room, cleaned up and left with the two.

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the cruise ship money.

Lin Jiayi hurriedly got out of the car, pulled the two of them forward, and said as she ran: "Fortunately, I caught up with ......"

After the three of them entered the designated seat, Jiang Yao sat down on the chair panting, and fanned her face with her hand, "Why are you in such a hurry...... If we can't catch up, we can go and sit somewhere else. ”

"I just want to see the river view today." Lin Jiayi said.

Jiang Yao was helpless, "Jiayi, your personality has changed a lot recently, you have spoken a lot, your face is fleshy, and your physical strength is not as good as before, have you not insisted on fitness?" ”

Lin Jiayi rolled her eyes, "Yes, Zuo Hao is about to spoil me as a yellow-faced woman." But now there are so many things in the company that I can't do without me, so I can only stick to it first, and then I will go to the gym after a while. ”

"But there are fewer acne on my face." Jiang Zilin took a closer look and praised: "The skin is so good." ”

In the past, Lin Jiayi would more or less rely on makeup to block some, because her facial features were exquisite, and no one cared about those acne, but now she looks at her smooth skin, even if she is a little fatter, she is more beautiful than before.

"Yes, Jiayi is also blessed, Zuo Hao is so favored, it will definitely be better in the future."

"It's good that the child doesn't have to give birth to himself." Lin Jiayi blinked ostentatiously.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled.

It seems that Jiayi really let go of the fact that she can't have children, the little front tooth is a good child, and she also recognizes Lin Jiayi's mother, no different from her own child.

Jiang Zilin thought, her eyes shook towards the people at the opposite table as if unintentionally.

After Jiang Yao got on the boat, she felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, and Jiayi and Zilin seemed to have been looking in a certain direction, so they also turned their heads......

Her body stiffened, and her eyes widened a little.

Zhou Zheng? Why is Zhou Zheng here? The one next to him is......

Jiang Yao's fingertips were cold, and her heart sank.

It's Ning Lan.
