"Oops! Look at your sad face, why is it because this male employee transferred from the headquarters is not the male employee you have been thinking about for a long time? ”

When Sun Meiyu was about to get up to leave, there was a sneering roar in her ears. As if a sudden blow, Sun Meiyu rolled her white eyes and her side face was as sharp as a sharp blade.

"What nonsense?! I'm just joking with the branch manager. If you don't believe me, go to his office and ask! ”

Looking at the faces of the colleagues around him, the corners of Shen Zhenghuan's mouth gradually retained a smile, a helpless wry smile.

"Yes, Director Liu, I went to the branch just now to greet everyone, and now I am walking on my way home."

Finally unloaded the tired Chengmei, and slowly walked towards the steep slope like a snail.

"It's been a long time since you applied for a transfer, and I'm sorry I didn't send you to the branch until now."

"It's okay, you're bothered about my affairs, and I can't worry about it. If it weren't for your help, I might have made several trips back and forth around Anseong. ”

Seungmi slowed down her feet again, clutching the heavy satchel with one hand, and holding the phone to her ear with the other.

"What to do? What to do? Where did you go? My ancestor Chengyan! Seung-mi raised her head and saw her mother Yoon Kyung-sun fall to the ground from a distance, and then buried her head deep in her knees.

"Thank you first, Director Liu, I'll contact you later, it's a bit urgent." Chengmei said, and rushed to her mother's side like a gust of wind under her feet.

"Chengmei, you came back just in time, your sister Chengyan is gone again, she was still sitting on the sofa before I went to the bathroom?!" Yin Qingshan pursed her lips and shouted with despair on her face, one of her hands slapping the ground with a bang.

"Don't complain yet, I'll go ahead and take a look. Mom, turn back, too. Before the words fell, Yin Qingshan began to push Chengmei's shoulders non-stop. The buzz of dissatisfaction and complaints is getting louder and louder, and the beating sound of Chengmei's heart is also getting more and more deafening.

The light music channel is dedicated to Alice with a solo Beethoven piano, melodious melodies accompanied by the rhythmic swing of the windshield wipers. Beethoven's music will make people's hearts fluctuate whenever they listen to it, but only today, Yucheng has been looking forward with a sad brow.

"Lee Seung-mi? Lee Seung-mi! Is there really such an endless cycle of karma in this world? ”

The rain drenched the earth, the air became fresh and cool, and the green leaves glistened brightly in the sloppy sunlight. Under the gentle kneading and slow twisting of the raindrops, the color of the leaves gradually deepens and thickens. Walking through this familiar greenery, in front of it is Cheng Yan's favorite children's playground. Thinking of this, Chengmei quickened her pace.

"Cheng Yan!"

The playground is surrounded by a mix of similar low-rise neighborhoods and new high-rise bachelor apartments, centred around the bus terminus, with several old-style individual homes embedded in the midpoint. Surrounded by towering greenery, this neighborhood is always quiet.

"Cheng Yan, Cheng Yan, don't make trouble. Sister knows you're inside, hurry up, come out! Seungmi stopped tiredly, this was not the first time she had run here to find her sister. At this time, the gate of the playground is slightly hidden, and the slide in the center extends to the pavilion at the back, where the sunlight and the shade of the locust tree blend together just right. The wisteria swing on the left is shaking disapprovingly, this swing has been with Cheng Yan for more than 10 years, as important as her compatriots and close friends, Cheng Mei thinks that her sister Cheng Yan may have just left here.

"Cheng Yan! Are you playing hide and seek with your sister? My sister finished counting, and then came to you. Seungmi put her head on the barbed wire fence of the playground, supported the mesh with both hands, and slowly raised her head from the crook of her arms. At this moment, there was a faint sound of breathing in her ears, and Seungmi immediately tiptoed towards the merry-go-round, the birthplace of the black shadow. At first, the sound of rapid breathing was still familiar, and the shade of the locust tree was firmly reflected on the girl's body, and there was silence all around. Seungmi quietly watched the back, from her feet to her waist, but the familiar clothes were not worn on the familiar woman! Seeing the girl's upper body completely reflected in the sun, Seungmi was hit very hard, her legs trembled, panic and fear pressed her eyes and chest almost at the same time.

"Cheng Yeon! Lee Sung-yeon! Even if the sky fell, the river dried up, the sea froze, and the sky was torn apart like velvet, Chengmei would not be so panicked as she was at this moment and ran out.

But a few minutes later, the sky turned into a dirty ditch again, and the earth turned into an endless swamp, and Seungmi's feet were so swollen that she couldn't move! Waiting at the intersection of the full road that refused to change the lights, she felt that the bones in her body were breaking one by one, but she still clenched her teeth tightly, panting to prevent herself from completely collapsing.

"Hello! Did you see my sister? Looking at the face of the fruit stall owner shaking into a rattle, Chengmei's heart was terrified, her sister Chengyan is a congenital autistic person, and sneaking outside alone is always a terrible event unimaginable for ordinary people! If she can't find her family in a short time, she will definitely lose it or die! So at this time, Chengmei, even if it's just a straw, has to hold on tightly.

"Did you just see a girl who looks about me and is a head taller than me?"

"Please, please remember carefully, did you see the girl in the photo coming to this side of the road?!" If it's fear, it must be that irrepressible, overwhelming fear. The people who walked across from the other side all had unfamiliar expressions, so that Chengmi was panicked to the extreme. After the people walked away from Chengmei's shoulders like a wave, a familiar breathing sound unconsciously echoed in Chengmei's ears like iron boots occupying a domain.

"What to do? What should Cheng Yeon do if she can't find her way home again?! Every time Seungmi takes a deep breath, her thin collarbones and plump face will go up and down violently. Gradually, a drop of yellow sweat like a bean grain oozed from the corner of her forehead, which was more distinct than her collarbone, and soon flowed into the snow-white shirt.

"Chengmei, Chengmei, what should we do, I also asked all over in the back, and everyone said that they were not impressed!" From her mother's eyes, Seung-mi seemed to see the secret of the universe, and she hurriedly trotted all the way towards a row of snack shops at the intersection.

"Please, God, you must let Cheng Yan stay quietly in the snack shop!"

The tip of Chengmei's nose was dripping with sweat, and her arm on the locust tree was as slender as a child.

Compared with the poor Chengmei, Yin Qingshan looks plump and godless. Suddenly, Yin Qingshan shook his head violently, like crazy. There was a sharp scream in her throat, it was a cry, a cry as fierce as the ashes of her heart.

Looking at her mother's hideous tears, Chengmei felt as if someone was pinching her neck and pressing her body, and the moment she breathed, her chest swelled up like a balloon, and her mind suddenly went dark, and if she didn't shout out loud like crazy, her nerves were on the verge of collapse.

Zhiyu grocery store

"It's really bitter to drink, but it's not a poison."

Mother Yin Qingshan wanted to withdraw from Chengmei, and after looking at each other nervously, both of them subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Yoon Kyung-sun's throat bulged out sharp and majestic, and she imagined that there was a witch-like woman behind this door, holding Sung-yeon's collar tightly, while hiding in the shadows and constantly peeking at herself and Seung-mi.

"This one is called black coffee. Although the taste is more delicious after the addition of creamer and condensed milk, the original taste of the coffee is lost. You try it to see if it's bitter and then sweet. ”

The collarbone at the end of Yin Qingshan's neck was also exposed, and in the bright glass door, the unattractive woman was in full swing feeding Chengyan coffee. Cheng Yan tried her best to grab the woman's hand that kept reaching forward, could this be?

"Cheng Yan!" Seongmi, who broke through the door, shouted with wide eyes.

"Sister." The moment she heard Chengmei's voice, Cheng Yan's thick black eyelashes suddenly moved.

In the white sun, the strange shopkeeper's short hair was shiny, and she slowly turned her face, her eyebrows thick, her forehead white and slightly protruding, and her eyes full of luxuriant chickweed. Not only the face, but also the veins pouring down the slender neck were also seen by Seung-mi, if the sun was brighter or her eyes were sharper, Seung-mi only felt that her internal organs could be faintly seen.

"Oh! You two are Li Chengyan's family members, I saw a photo of your family on the former owner's mobile phone. I don't think any of our shopkeepers on this street will be strangers to your family. It should have been Chengmei's words, but the new owner said it for her.

"Well, I'm so sorry just now. By the way, if my sister eats or destroys anything in your shop, I'll transfer the money to you. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, I didn't drink much of a cup of coffee, so forget it."

"Then I'll transfer it to you as I wish."

When Seung-mi smiled at the shopkeeper, Sung-yeon showed an unhappy expression. The scorching sun shone on the faces of the three women, and Cheng Yan slowly opened her mouth and yawned.

"If you want to go out, just tell your mother, how can you sneak out while the adults are going to the bathroom? Any idea how long we've been looking for you?! After walking out of the store, Chengmei directly turned the anger in her heart into a cold barb and shot it into Chengyan's eyes, perhaps because she understood Chengmei's concern, Chengyan lowered her head in shame.

"In the future, you can only go out with your mother, or wait for me to come back, remember?"

The sound of quiet and crisp breathing reached Seungmei's ears, and she slowly stopped, pinching and twisting Cheng Yeon, who was sleepy-eyed, to the opposite side of her.

"Don't pretend to be asleep, what do I ask you?" Seung-mi shook Sung-yeon's shoulder violently.

"Lee Sung-yeon! Feed! Lee Sung-yeon!! ”
