Chapter 22: I miss you so much
After thinking about it for a long time, in the end I didn't want to stay here for a second longer, "In that case, I'll go back first and come back in the afternoon." After saying that, regardless of whether the man agreed or not, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Just as I pushed open the door and was about to walk out, the man said, "Why are you in such a hurry, is there a flood beast here?" Isn't it, to me, that you're the beast of the flood.
I stopped my movements, I didn't want to cause trouble, and chose a decent answer, "Mr. Jiang said that he laughed, I wanted to go back first because I still had private things to do." Actually, I didn't have anything to do.
"Is it important" Hearing him ask, I reflexively wanted to nod, but when I heard his next sentence, I hated my conditioned reflex incomparably, "I originally wanted to say, let it be done in half an hour, since I have something to leave, then I don't have to call."
Okay, is this waiting for me here, took a deep breath, told myself to calm down, calm down, but, calm down, half an hour, whose contract can be done in half an hour, I really, really want to debunk this person's tricks, isn't it just a few more glances, usually so many people watch, why haven't I seen you fix them.
In fact, I really said it, but with a little euphemism, "Hehe, Mr. Jiang really likes to joke, since the contract is ready, let's sign it first, so as not to delay your work."
He looked at me twice, and sure enough, he pulled two copies out of the pile of papers, and then opened them.
This should be it, sure enough, this person is stingy, fortunately I didn't believe this person's words, praise for my own behavior just now, I didn't plan to leave, how could I still want to step into here.
I walked to the front of the desk, picked up a copy, and planned to read it carefully, not because I was afraid that people would cheat me, and there was nothing to cheat, but because I was afraid that the conditions given in the contract were too good and I couldn't accept it.
"Why are you still afraid that I will cheat you" Maybe I watched it a little slowly, and the man seemed to be a little impatient.
I could only laugh and say, "How can it be, be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship, I am this character". Having said that, I was in no mood to look closely, because of the man's bright, naked disgusted eyes.
It's really uncomfortable to be stared at, especially being stared at like an object, it's really feng shui in turn.
In the end, I hurriedly flipped through it, looked at it, but saw nothing, signed my name in the last position, and signed the rest of the one.
Waiting for him to finish, I put one of them away, and then, it was time to say goodbye at the end, no, probably never again.
I just wanted to open my mouth, but I saw him stand up, stretch out his hand, "Happy cooperation".
Looking at the hand, big and heavy, as a final goodbye, he stretched out his hand, covered it, and held the front of his palm hard, which was a standard handshake posture, if you ignore my great strength.
"Thank you, when I go back, I will delete the manuscript, you don't have to worry about copyright issues, I wish you a prosperous business, and... Goodbye" Goodbye. Retracted his hand, ignored the confusion on the man's face, and turned to leave.
I knew he was struggling with my words, but I knew that I was saying goodbye to him, and I didn't need to let him understand, just understand it myself. Call me selfish or cowardly, I admit it.
Outside the gate, looking at everything around me, I suddenly realized that I was actually just attracted by this towering building, and indeed the first thing we saw was always the brightest, and the light was so bright that we ignored the other scenery around us.
It's like a moth to a fire, and the light is so dazzling that it attracts all the moths' attention, so that they ignore the danger of the light, and finally disappear. And fortunately, I still have some sanity left, and I came to my senses in time, otherwise I am afraid that I would not have had the same fate as the moth.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that I was still lucky, for a long time, I had never felt so awake for a moment, as if the haze buried in my heart suddenly dispersed, revealing the long-awaited sun, shining on me, warming me, and even unconsciously putting a smile on my face. Comfortable.
But such a comfortable moment was interrupted by someone, who picked up the phone and picked it up "Hey, Xiaoxiao". The person who interrupted my thoughts was Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoqi, you're in the company, why don't you tell me" There was more complaint and caution in his tone.
It's easy to understand complaining, but what I don't understand is that she is afraid of me, why should she be so cautious.
Without much thought, I replied, "Yes, I came to sign the contract, and now that it's over, I'm ready to go back." In fact, when Xiaoxiao said this, I remembered that I had planned to go to see her before, but as a result, I may have been in a calm mood and completely forgot about it.
But at the moment I don't want to go back at all, anyway, I didn't tell her before, so I should think that there is no such thing.
But apparently she misunderstood, "Xiaoqi, are you angry with me?" I looked confused when I asked, what am I angry with you, but listening to her tone, I can completely imagine her aggrieved expression at the moment, maybe there are tears rolling in her eyes.
I don't want her to continue to misunderstand, "What are you talking about, what are you angry about, what am I angry about?"
"Then, then you didn't come to me today, isn't it because I haven't sent you a message before, and I don't want Qingqing to tell you about my past" Okay, I finally understand what's going on, I'm worried about her being angry here, but she's worried about me being angry there.
As soon as I wanted to say no, she continued, "I was afraid that you would be angry with me that day, so I didn't dare to send you a message for the past two days, but you ignored me today, don't ignore me."
Listening to her crying, I thought this misunderstanding was really big, and hurriedly said, "No, I'm not angry with you, not only do you have secrets, but I also have secrets that I haven't let you know, and I haven't paid much attention to WeChat in the past two days, and I haven't found out that you haven't sent me a message."
I thought about it for a while, and felt that it was unlikely that she would believe what I said, and then said, "I was so happy that I was so happy that I forgot to greet you for a while, otherwise you come down now, I'm still downstairs, waiting for you to go to lunch."
"Huh? Let's go out to eat" Xiaoxiao asked, and then I remembered that the company's lunch was what she looked forward to the most every day.
"Oops, I forgot, I'll have something to do in a while, Xiaoxiao, or I'll treat you to dinner next time." I don't want to go back, and I don't want that foodie to be unable to eat what he likes, so I can only pretend that something is wrong with me.
Sure enough, after listening to it, they were happy at first, and then they began to struggle again. Knowing that she didn't want me to be alone, I continued, "Really, the car I called has arrived, I'll go back first, and next time I'll invite you to have dinner with Qingqing, I'm going to get in the car, hang up first."
After speaking, without waiting for her to react, he hung up the phone. Look in front of yourself, there is a car, if the stroller counts.
When I returned to the dormitory, I really didn't know what I was going to do for a while, I was very busy in the past few days, but after I was free, I felt that I was not used to it.
Looking around, I decided to clean the dormitory, ahem, I haven't cleaned it for a long time, it's not that I'm lazy, but I don't think about it at all.
Taking advantage of the good weather, I took out my clothes and quilt to dry again, and after putting everything back together, I looked at the pendant in my hand, and I almost forgot that it existed, although I kept it by my side, I almost never took it out.
There is no other reason, just I don't want to see things and think about people, but I can put it somewhere else, and I feel uneasy, after all, this is the only thing left by that person.
Every time I see it, it always reminds me of something bad.
The first time I saw this thing was when I was very young, it was one night, I was sleeping, but half-asleep, half-awake, I heard someone whispering and sobbing.
It wasn't loud, but after a long period of interference, I woke up from the dream, and when I opened my eyes, I found that the person who was crying was none other than my grandmother, who was sleeping next to me.
I don't know why she's crying, obviously it's not loud, but it does sound so sad, I'm a little scared, I've never seen such a grandmother, all along, I have the impression that she is always very strong, even a little spicy. I don't know what made this strong man cry in the middle of the night.
It took me a long time before I reached out and turned on the lamp at the head of the bed.
The long period of darkness made me feel that the lights were very dazzling, not to mention my grandmother, who didn't know how long she had been walking. The moment she raised her hand to cover her eyes, I saw what had been in her hand all along. Under the illumination of the light, it emitted a bright red light, which was beautiful, and it was beautiful that I had never seen before when I was so big.
But before I could continue watching, my grandmother had already put it back up. Then I heard my grandmother's hoarse voice coming, "Xiaoqi, did your grandmother wake you up, you go to sleep and go to school tomorrow."
The moment my grandmother's voice sounded, the anxiety and fear in my heart disappeared little by little, and I looked at her and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with you."
No one answered for a long time, there was silence for a long time, grandma sighed deeply, and then said to me, "Xiaoqi, grandma is fine, grandma just remembered some of the past, you go back to sleep, grandma will continue to sleep."
Obviously, my grandmother had something in her heart, but she didn't want me to let me know, at that moment, I never felt so powerless, and the feeling of desperate desire to grow up was also something I had never experienced.
I stretched out my hand and hugged my grandmother, I don't know what the psychology was, I always felt that if I didn't hug her one moment, I would lose her the next moment.
My grandmother reached out and patted me on the back, and those hands seemed to have a kind of magic that gradually calmed my panicked mood. Before I knew it, I was asleep. I guess I was down-to-earth at that moment, a kind of steadfastness that will disappear forever.
Holding the pendant tightly, lying on the table, wrapping my hands around myself, burying my face in my arms, everything around me seemed so silent, no sound of anyone talking, no bird calling, at that moment I felt as if I was the only one left in the world, and the only information that represented me was still alive was the sound of my shallow breathing.
I really, really miss you, Grandma.
