Chapter 52: The Elevator Door
At night, Lin Yun walked out of the company building with a depressed expression, looked at the busy street, turned around, and embarked on the way home as always.
Walking through the sparsely populated streets of a residential area, wandering through the commercial district near the light rail tram stop, and avoiding the outstretched hands of hotly dressed girls in the crowd, he stopped in front of a shopping mall.
The vast and brightly lit buildings made him feel like a world away.
The conversation with Hong Siyu in the morning seems to be still echoing in his ears, and he has made a preliminary decision about whether to resign and completely return to the path of a magical girl:
- After the mid-month summary meeting, and then deal with the few tasks at hand, he can go and apply for resignation.
Before leaving, he also went to the general manager's office. After mentioning his resignation and negotiating who he would hand over his tasks to, he left the company.
After work, the reason why he didn't go to the station in the first place, but took a detour to the business district, was actually because recently, there were still some days to come.
For example, his and Anya's wedding anniversary.
This year is the 15th year of his marriage to Anya, which should be called "crystal wedding" in more romantic terms, and it is a day worth celebrating for couples in this time period.
It was precisely because of this that he suddenly remembered such a day and wondered if to buy Anya a gift that she would like.
He remembered that Anya liked jewelry, and she regarded every piece of jewelry he bought for her as a treasure, and now that it was a "crystal wedding", it should be very appropriate to give her a piece of crystal jewelry.
You can buy a gift on your wedding anniversary, wrap it in a thin package, and put it in Anya's dressing box.
Then, on the day of her death, he personally took it to the grave and gave it to her.
Because Anya's death day was just a week after their wedding anniversary.
This is actually something that sounds very sad and ironic. But for Lin Yun, in addition to revenge, this is already the best way for him to pay tribute to Anya.
As for revenge, whenever he picked up this thought, Lin Xiaolu's face would appear in his mind. That didn't discourage him, but it did make him understand that, at least not yet.
Taking a deep breath and packing up his mood, Lin Yun clutched the briefcase in his hand and stepped forward.
Walking into the shopping mall, he silently tossed and turned from faΓ§ade to storefront. In the face of the enthusiastic introductions and sales of many salespeople, he listened to them all in his heart, kept them for reference, and then nodded politely to express his gratitude.
It took him more than an hour to take a cursory look at the jewelry store on the first floor of the mall, and then walked out of the mall with a little disappointment.
It's not that he's dissatisfied, but he always feels that something is missing.
It wasn't until he walked from the business district to the station again that he suddenly felt a little hungry and realized that he had forgotten to eat dinner.
Standing on the platform of the light rail tram, Lin Yun looked at the tram coming from afar, and the lights in front of the train became brighter and brighter, shining through the dense crowd and shining towards the way home after fatigue.
"Let's go back to the leftovers." He muttered to himself, then followed the crowd into the door, and found a moment of peace of mind on the rings in the carriage.
On the way home, he was thinking about what he was going to say at the evening study meeting, and the knowledge in the junior high school textbook was reviewed over and over again in his mind, which reminded him of his life in junior high school for a while.
is also a magical girl while continuing with daily life; The same is the way home thinking about the knowledge in the textbook, how similar and how different.
With this in mind, he returned to his high-end apartment building.
Walking into the hallway, he wanted to go straight to the elevator room, but he happened to meet a woman who was walking in that direction.
It's red thinking with.
"Ah, finally off work?"
Seeing Lin Yun, she said hello quite naturally.
"I'm off work, and I shouldn't be going to work in a few days."
He replied quite bluntly: "Anyway, thank you for today's events." β
"What's so thankful for this, it's a pleasure to be able to look at the lovely juniors, and it's a pleasure for an old-timer like me who is dying of phantom limbs."
Hongsi waved his hand with a loud voice: "It's you, don't mind if I say some superfluous words." β
"Superfluous words?" Lin Yun raised his eyes slightly, obviously grasping the point in her words.
"Nothing, don't care, don't care." Hong Sihe casually snorted, "Anyway, I've stayed long enough today, so I'll go back first." β
"So what the hell did you say?"
"Don't worry about it, it's not something you deliberately concealed anyway." Hong Sihe squeezed his eyes at him, "You, let's get along with the children next." β
After saying this, she waved goodbye to Lin Yun and walked to the parking space not far away.
Looking at her back, Lin Yun thought for a moment, then shook his head and walked to the elevator again.
However, when he walked into the door of the elevator room, he happened to see an elevator door closed, and then went all the way up to the floor where his house was located.
This made his heart suddenly burst out for no reason.
The scene of the apartment doorway a moment ago passed through his mind, and in just a moment, he captured where this uneasiness was coming from:
ββ¦β¦ Just now, no one should have walked in from the outside. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
After dinner time, after chatting in the living room for a while, Hong Sihe said goodbye to the two girls and left Lin Xiaolu's house from the entrance.
Walking back to the living room and sitting back on the sofa in one breath, Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang were speechless for a while, and entered a state of exhaustion and fatigue.
"I knew earlier, I just had some leftovers at noon." Lin Xiaolu, who was lying on the sofa, whispered.
"Even if she says she wants to cook herself, I should stop her." Xia Liang also sighed, "I just didn't expect it to be really bad to that extent." β
Even after dinner, the two of them still remembered the "memorable" lunch.
Hong Siyu said that if she wanted to show her culinary skills, if it meant torturing diners, then she had succeeded.
In terms of knife work and heat alone, there is no big problem with the meals she makes, but when it comes to seasoning, it can be called a disaster. It's not just a matter of being unpalatable, it's that only people with a dyspatriation can make such a messy meal.
It's as if the ratio of all the flavors in the food has been reversed, and what should have been salty has become sour, and what should have been sweet has become bitter. The end result is no entry at all.
In the end, only Hongsi and one person at the table were able to finish the meal normally, and from time to time they had to ask the two girls "Why don't you eat".
So, when it was time for dinner, at the joint request of Xia Liang and Lin Xiaolu, they still took out the leftovers in the refrigerator and dealt with them.
At the end of the day's practice in such a noisy atmosphere, Lin Xiaolu was about to take a nap on the sofa to cope with the evening study meeting, but suddenly felt that something seemed to be stuck under her thighs.
Moving her body to the side, she suddenly realized that it was actually the certification plate of Red Sihe.
I don't know when, this certification plate was casually thrown here by Hongsihe, and then I didn't think to take it back.
Picking up this small plaque, Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but look at Xia Liang, and then asked in confusion, "What should I do?" β
"Did you leave her contact information?" After Xia Liang saw the things in her hand clearly, he was also quite stunned.
"Nope." Lin Xiaolu couldn't help but grab the hair on the side of her head.
"Then let the delphinium return it to her when the time comes...... What happened to you? Xia Liang was thinking about what to do, but Lin Xiaolu's actions made her stunned.
Because the other party had already stood up from the couch and stuffed the badge into his pocket: "She should only go downstairs now, and I still have time to chase after her." β
"Do you really have to be in such a hurry?" Turning around and lying on the back of the sofa, looking at Lin Xiaolu who was walking towards the entrance, Xia Liang said helplessly, "Anyway, Delphinium will come over at night, and you can return it to her tomorrow, right?" β
"How can there be a reason for a guest to lose something when he comes to visit for the first time."
Walking to the door, Lin Xiaolu waved to her quite casually: "It's okay, I'll be back soon." β
She changed into sandals, stepped out of her door, pressed the elevator button, and took the elevator to the first floor.
Walking out of the elevator car, she heard the voice of Hong Sihe not far away. She quickly took the plaque out of her pocket and lifted it up, trying to walk out of the elevator and quickly return the other party's things.
It's just that her footsteps stopped the moment she stepped out of the elevator room.
Because she saw that Red Si was standing with someone she would never have imagined, and they seemed to be quite familiar with each other.
That person was not a stranger, it was her father, Lin Yun.
