002: Secret
S City, Leisurely Cafe Restaurant.
Huo Jianyuan remembered the day he first saw Lin Kongkong, the weather was cold, the wind was raging, and there were few customers in the store.
Xiao Zhang, who was in charge of the reception, stood in a daze as if he was about to fall asleep.
The door was quickly pushed open by a girl wearing a camel-colored coat and an off-white scarf.
A small face shrunk in a large scarf, probably a little pale because of the cold.
"Are you still hiring?"
Huo Jianyuan looked at her, a girl in her twenties, delicate and unremarkable, not very outstanding.
He casually asked, "Do you know how to cook Western food or make coffee?" β
The girl looked down and pondered for a moment, as if racking her brain to think about what kind of job she could do.
"I'm pretty good at reckoning." She was a little weak, and said weakly.
"We don't have a shortage of cashiers here."
"So what do you need to do? I need this job very much, I can learn anything. β
Her eagerness aroused Huo Jianyuan's curiosity, and he raised his head to meet her eyes. Just one glance made ripples ripple in my heart.
Her eyes were beautiful, like a rising glacier, sparkling and simple. Although it is not as brilliant as Ling's, it is also seven or eight points similar.
At that moment, he seemed to hear God say, "Look, the one you regret you have lost, and now you have one again!"
He smiled, is the seventh year of suffering finally coming to an end? Ling, is that you? Did you pity me day and night, so you turned into her and came to me?
This time I'm never going to let go and won't miss it.
Lin Kongkong looked at the boss's expression and said in his heart: Why did you choose to be distracted at this time? I'm such a big person, and you're still hanging here? Come back to your senses......
"Then you can be at the cashier, and when you're not busy, you can help the waiters pack or order food."
Lin Kongkong was stunned for a moment, was he successful in applying so easily? Then he smiled happily and hurriedly asked, "Then when can I come to work?" β
"Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock."
"Uh-huh, okay. Goodbye boss. Lin Kongkong happily pushed the door out.
Last night, she tossed and turned, and made this decision, a little bold, a little risky......
Coming to work in this western restaurant is her secret.
She checked from the Internet that the building opposite the restaurant was the headquarters of "Qingtian Architecture".
She thought, at such a close distance, she should be able to hear about him from his employees, more or less!
He is Bai Chenfeng, her first love boyfriend, and now the top decision-maker of the business giant in S City, "Qingtian Construction".
Looking at the building opposite, there are ninety-nine floors, which is the tallest building in the entire S City.
The person who comes out of here, the most basic, is also an authentic white-collar worker.
And he sits in the most eye-catching position here, deciding the fate of white-collar workers, overlooking all living beings.
What is he doing now? Could it be that she is also thinking about her?
Lin Kongkong shook his head, he couldn't think about it anymore, his heart would hurt.
In the past few years, he has grown up rapidly, and everything about him now is something that ordinary her will never be able to achieve.
It's not yet time to get off work, and it's rare that the bus is less crowded and chaotic.
Lin Kongkong found a place to sit down, looking at the backward scenery outside the window, his thoughts were scattered.
I remembered the content of the last telephone communication with Xu Qingkong before returning to China.
"White Morning Breeze...... Maybe I have a girlfriend. On the other end of the phone, Xu Qingkong's hesitation could be felt.
"Really?" She replied mechanically, and her heart had already ached a thousand times.
"I'm not particularly sure, you know, I've been avoiding them for a few years. I saw him in the supermarket last night, followed by a woman, in an intimate form...... You know, he's never been close to women except you. β
Yes, in the past, he was cold to everyone, and he looked like he was rejecting people thousands of miles away. But there is nothing she can do about her, because she is always cheeky and pesters him.
Now, has he given her up? used to love each other so much, but it turned out that it was only a few years to forget.
"Oh! Really? Then it's time for me to congratulate him. β
"Meng, look away, after all, it's all in the past."
Is it in the past? She asked herself. The answer is no, in her heart, he has never been a thing of the past.
Even in the three years since he left, he has grown in her heart and has never left for a moment.
I felt uncomfortable in my heart, and then I jumped up quickly, and she seemed to hear her heart, bang! Boom! Boom! of the beating ......
Touching her heart, she frowned uncomfortably, and it took a long time for her heart to calm down.
The night is as cool as water.
She woke up from a nightmare three years ago. Turn on the lights and the room is silent. I went to the refrigerator and got cold water, drank most of the bottle in one go, and calmed down a little bit.
She let out a long breath and looked at everything familiar in the room, and time seemed to go back to three years ago. At that time, they were in love, and they were intimate.
She always watched him draw in his little rented apartment, yes, the one she lives in now.
Yes, she copied the room of her former lover, no worse. It's clichΓ©, isn't it? She's such a person.
At that time, he was very busy. Running around for a living. Shuttling through various construction companies, either drawing or surveying.
And she would wait for him in the apartment, like a wife who was looking forward to her husband coming home, calm but anxious.
After dinner, he would draw pictures on his desk. He is not like an architect, but more like a painter, with his slender and clean hands sketching on the paper, and then the beautiful design will jump on the paper.
His focused look is particularly good-looking.
Deliberately clump the waste paper into a ball and throw it at him.
Then, her lover always looked at her helplessly, and her tone was doting: "Mengmeng, don't be naughty." β
She would plop herself into his arms and kiss him. The thin lips took her lips, and then she smirked. She liked him, liked his kisses, and loved each other.
He was helplessly interrupted by her, put down the pen, hugged her to his lap, rubbed his nose and asked her, "What the hell is the idea?" β
She would let him take her hand to see the sunset, because people say: the sun sets, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world.
She wants to feel this beauty, and with him, even the saddest scenery will become happy and pleasant.
And he always holds her hand, with the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, containing infinite pampering.
When he went back, he would climb on his back and let him carry it back, and then the figures of the two were stretched for a long time......
Time flies, and the years are like death.
Xiaobai, I'm back, this time I'm guarding you in the same place, watching your happiness spread over your years.
Maybe from now on, you won't have me in your life. It's just that the empty world will only complain about warmth and not say anything because of your happiness.
