Chapter 3, Midnight

I always thought that the stories that happened in novels and TV series were just commercial ideas used by boring writers and screenwriters to hype and make profits, but when it really happened to me, I had to sigh: life is really like a play, and novels are all derived from life.

When I finished packing up everything in the office and walked out of the door, I could feel all kinds of eyes projected from all directions, there was pity, ridicule, reluctance, and joy, but more eyes were indifference, that kind of indifference that had nothing to do with myself was the atmosphere that permeated the city and even the whole world, but I didn't know that I was actually peaceful, and there were not many ups and downs, although Guo Lin was actually the illegitimate daughter of the chairman, and was specially arranged to the company to start from the grassroots first, and then find a way to promote the rich second generation, But I don't think that Jiang Hongming will have a better future and future when he is with her.

Thinking back at this time, when Jiang Hongming came to my house to pick up his luggage yesterday, although his eyes were a little sad, he also hid some emotions that were difficult to tell, didn't he want to tell me Guo Lin's true identity? Or do you want to remind me how unwise it was to fire Guo Lin before I took a vacation?

I sneered, sneering from the bottom of my heart, maybe Jiang Hongming already knew Guo Lin's bloody life experience, so he rushed to post it and wanted to win a future that struggled ten years less than others, but what does this have to do with me? With such a scandal, I have no face to continue to live in other people's after-dinner laughter, even if Guo Lin is not such a strange background, I don't plan to stay here and let others laugh at me!

When I got home and dropped the cardboard box on the table, I collapsed on the couch and had a long sleep.

I have struggled in the company for many years, in order to climb to today's position, I can't remember how many years I haven't taken a vacation, I got up early and greedy for darkness, I was already sick with stomach problems at the wine table, and that person painted exquisite makeup before and after, and I was meticulous, I can finally take off the mask and be myself.

After three days, I was no longer lazy, because the amount of money in my account had long been left, and all my assets since I came out of the campus to fight were only the 108-square-meter house in front of me.

I didn't go out for a few days, I couldn't help but miss the porridge house not far from the community, where the porridge tasted very good, and even after eating instant noodles for several days, I really protested with stomach buds, so I simply changed my clothes and went out at will without makeup.

In the evening, the business of the porridge house is good, all of them are threes and threes, and they are very lively.

I was the only one sitting alone at the back of the window, bored waiting for the food to be served.

Outside the window, there are still neon flashes, the traffic is busy, and every shop on the opposite street is as bright as day, although the flow of people is not like weaving, but it is also a prosperous street market in the southern city.

Suddenly there was darkness on the other side, and the man's slightly magnetic voice sounded low, "Can I sit here?" ”

Some familiar voices made me raise my head in surprise, looking at the "neighbor" who was still in a straight suit, still pale, still expressionless, and black-eyed and lonely, and looked around subconsciously, the business in the store was not very good, obviously he didn't need to squeeze into a table with me, which one was this?

In the middle of the night three days ago, he came to my house to borrow a candle, obviously asking for others, but he did not even give me a little warm gaze, and countless reluctances suddenly surged in my heart, but before I could say no, he sat down on his own, and by the way looked up to the waiter who hurried to the menu next to him and said, "Just give me the same food." ”

The waitress was stunned on the spot, glanced at me with an expression that she couldn't tell whether she wanted to laugh or cry, and then nodded and left.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and turned my head to continue looking out the window at the street scene.

In the face of people I don't like, I have always chosen to stay away, rather than wronging myself to be a hypocritical person to some people, wearing a mask of hypocrisy, which is the main reason why I have never befriended anyone in the company for many years.

The man opposite also chose to remain silent, but I saw from the corner of my eye that he had been watching the news on his mobile phone, looking solemn, as if something national had happened.

The porridge and vegetables were served quickly, and it was rare for him to be the first to serve them, just like me.

I ordered a simple one, one serving of wild vegetable porridge and two servings of side dishes, all of which are the mushrooms I like to eat, a fried shiitake mushroom with black fungus, and a fried bacon with oyster mushroom.

The food on the other side is the same as mine, it is rare that he is not picky, while continuing to look at the mobile phone while drinking porridge and eating vegetables, I noticed that his ten fingers are pale, slender as jade, whether it is picking vegetables or drinking porridge, the movements are slow and orderly, elegant as embroidery.

On the other hand, my own arrogant posture really can't be compared, so I can only sit upright quite depressed, pretending to be dignified and graceful to slow down.

You can imagine how painful this meal was, especially the charm of the person opposite, which not only attracted all the female customers in the hall to look sideways, but also couldn't help but stop and admire many beautiful women passing by outside the window.

Of course, most of the people who looked at me were jealous and disdainful, or envious and longing, and I secretly grinded my teeth, and replaced my left hand with the main spoon and right hand to support my cheeks, to shield all kinds of unpeaceful eyes outside the window, but I still felt that the taste was the same as chewing wax, and there was no expected beauty at all.

On the other hand, the "culprit" on the opposite side seemed to be unknown to the scene around him, still quietly eating, drinking porridge, swiping the mobile phone screen, with a leisurely demeanor and elegant posture, but I suffered from my inexplicable "neighbor" who was lying on the gun, and the disgust for him in my heart arose.

Before I finished the porridge and the dishes, I hurriedly got up and went to the counter to settle the bill, of course, I only paid my share, ignoring the waiter's surprised gaze, I put the fifty-eight yuan change neatly on the table, turned around and left.

"Miss, you ......," the waiter's words had just come out when I heard the deep voice of the "good neighbor," "Hello, I'll pay." ”

I hurried away without looking back, my depressed mood was about to burst, and I just hated that there was no purpose to vent.

That night, for some reason, the community was cut off, and although it was close to early autumn, the temperature was still extremely hot. I was awakened in my sleep by the sweltering heat, and when I opened my eyes in surprise, I felt something flash out of the corner of my eye.

My heart trembled, and I immediately sat up, and in the darkness, I could only hear my breath alone, and no one else, but for some reason, I had an intuition in my heart, as if something was looking at me in the dark, but I couldn't see it.
