The summer sun hung high in the sky, like a huge incandescent lamp, steaming so that the water level of the Xiangjiang River dropped. The sultry heat wrapped Li Ling, who was standing on the side of the road, as if he was in an air fryer, without a trace of cool breeze, sweating all over, very uncomfortable.

The asphalt pavement seems to have been baked, and the air on the ground is also distorted by the high temperature, with a characteristic industrial smell of asphalt, which drills straight into people's noses.

Fortunately, Li Ling didn't wait too long and summoned a taxi, otherwise he would stand for a while, he was afraid that he would fall to the ground due to heat stroke, and then be fried golden and crispy by the scorching ground close to forty degrees.

Throwing the luggage into the trunk, Li Ling got into the car with a cat's waist, and like Uncle Ge You, he sat in the back seat of the taxi very comfortably. The driver is also real, he doesn't feel sorry for the fuel consumption at all, and the air conditioning in the car is turned on to the maximum, the air outlet is blowing, and the cool cold wind makes Li Ling squint his eyes comfortably.

Li Ling is in a good mood today, although he was fired by the company only yesterday, but on the bright side, he can take this opportunity to give himself a little vacation, and it would be good to take a little rest.

In fact, Li Ling is still a little unwilling, he has always regarded himself as a good person, and he usually treats people with sincerity, never gets angry with others and never falls into the trap. Sometimes I will bring some snacks to everyone, invite colleagues to drink a cup of milk tea, and say a few jokes to amuse me during small talk.

But what he didn't expect was that when he was fired yesterday, no one stood up to say a fair word for him, and even a few colleagues who greeted him with a smile on weekdays stepped on him at a critical moment.

Maybe this is the darkness of the workplace, and the so-called ghosts of the human heart. Li Ling tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled self-deprecatingly.

At this moment, Li Ling's mobile phone screen suddenly lit up, and a person with the note of Sister Yaya on WeChat was sending him messages continuously.

"What's wrong?" Li Ling hurriedly typed and sent over.

Seeing that Li Ling replied to the message, the swiping behavior on the opposite side was terminated, and the status became "typing".

"Why didn't you say hello and suddenly resigned? I just came back from a business trip and brought you a gift, and you kid is gone??"

Li Ling scratched his head at the news, his face was full of helplessness, Sister Yaya was his top boss and also the company's man of the hour.

A returnee from the Department of Finance, proficient in two foreign languages, highly educated and emotionally intelligent, not to mention his work ability. And Yin Yin is a person who is about to run four, and her skin is maintained like a little girl in her twenties. Not only is he good-looking, but he also loves fitness on weekdays, with a slender waist and long legs, and suitors can line up from the imperial capital along the Beijing-Kowloon Railway to the edge of the Xiangjiang River.

Among them, there are also rich sons with a lot of money and young and promising young people, but she doesn't even look at those expensive gifts and romantic dates that are carefully prepared, and she is as cold as an iceberg in Greenland, and her face is full of words that people should not approach.

is such a goddess who has been held up to the sky, and in private she has a good relationship with Li Ling like a long-lost biological brother and sister. Even once when the two were eating barbecue together in the night market, she was still drinking beer and pretending to be drunk and told Li Ling that she wanted to be his stepmother, and the angry Li Ling stuffed the peanuts in her nostrils on the spot.

Thinking of this, Li Ling couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his fingers crackled and typed: "It's not that you're not there so you're being bullied, anyway, I don't really want to do this job, so I simply resigned." You can send me a gift or something. ”

"Who dares to bully you? I don't know if you are my subordinate?? You tell me who it is, I'll kill him and make wine for you to drink!" Sister Yaya was indignant.

"It's because I'm your subordinate that they're targeting me," Li Ling was too lazy to type, and directly shook the voice note, "You take too much care of me, they think I'm a little white face who eats soft rice, and there are so many people who like you, do you think you're a disaster?"

"Damn, this group of people really don't have the eyesight to see, I treat you as my unborn son!" Sister Yaya also took the opportunity to change her voice, the timbre was clear and good, crisp and raw like a radishes, but the tone was urgent, like Wang Xifeng in the Red Mansion, "What's wrong with the troubled water? Can being ugly be a disaster? Look at Daji, dare to say that you don't drool at the little fox when you play the glory of kings?"

"I'm your father!" Li Ling's expression began to grit his teeth, "And I like the royal sister type!

"So you're leaving, are you coming back?" is not a voice, maybe you're not sure what tone to use to say it.

When Li Ling saw this, he was slightly stunned, and he didn't know how to reply for a while, so he had to prevaricate by clicking on an emoji first.

Although they often quarrel with each other and call each other sisters and brothers when they go out, they occasionally reveal feelings between men and women. There was once an uncle who took good care of Li Ling at work and said to him that how to see if a girl has a good impression of you depends on whether she is willing to spend time on you.

"A person has so much free time, and she didn't do anything else, but chose to come to you, then she said that yin you are very important to her. The uncle stood by the windowsill smoking a cigarette, looking melancholy, and thinking that he was also a man with a story.

Sister Yaya is very busy at work, and she doesn't have much free time for herself, but she always likes to come to Li Ling. On holiday days, he often kicked the door of Li Ling's cheap rental house early in the morning with fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and meat, and urged Li Ling, who stayed up late to play games, to get up quickly while making lunch.

In the afternoon, the two will go out to watch new movies together, try new flavors of ice cream together, and jump on the dance machine in the video game city together, which is simple and happy.

But they tacitly keep a little distance from each other, they don't hold hands, they don't get very close, they don't get drunk and say something burdensome.

Xu was aware of Li Ling's deliberate silence, and Sister Yaya stopped asking, and sent a cool little yellow face expression with sunglasses, and asked, "Where are you now?"

"On the way to the airport. ”

"Wait, dare not wait for me, I'll knock the plane down for you!"

Li Ling didn't persuade her much, because she couldn't persuade her at all, as long as she wanted to do something, the knife couldn't stop her from being on her neck.

When the driver was waiting for the red light, he glanced at him through the rearview mirror, chewed betel nut in his mouth, and asked happily in a mouthful of plastic Mandarin with a dialect flavor: "Handsome guy, is this going home for summer vacation?"

Li Ling extinguished his mobile phone and said with a smile: "Master, it has been two years since I graduated from college. ”

The driver laughed and said that Li Ling was young, and then began to chat with him. Taxi masters all over the country seem to have this kind of self-learning skill, no matter what hobby you have, no matter what your profession is, he can talk to you and make this long or short ride time less boring.

I didn't eat much red lights along the way, and arrived at the airport earlier than expected, Li Ling paid for getting out of the car and dragged his suitcase into the airport hall. At this time, there was a vibration in his pocket, Li Ling took out his mobile phone, glanced at the caller ID, and connected the phone.

"Hey, son, why do you suddenly want to resign and come back?" On the phone, Li Ling's mother's voice was vibrant, and there was a loud laugh and the shuffling of the automatic mahjong machine from time to time.

Li Ling skillfully took the boarding pass at the self-service desk, sat on the metal seat next to him and said: "I just think that the development of Xiangshui City is not very good, and the boss always asks for overtime and does not pay overtime, so I think about resigning and coming back to find a job, so that I can be closer to you." ”

"Okay, it's okay to come back, so you don't have to eat takeout outside. You call your brother and ask him to pick you up, and your mother will make you your favorite braised chicken wings at night. Let's not talk about it, I'll play mahjong. ”

After speaking, Li Ling's mother took the initiative to hang up the phone, and Li Ling couldn't cry or laugh when she heard the busy sound of "doodoo" in her ears.

Li Ling has a younger brother Li Xiao, who is three years younger than him and is in his third year of college, and he happened to go home for the summer vacation during this time, so Li Ling's mother forcibly assigned him the task of picking up the airport. However, Li Ling did not plan to contact Li Xiao, after all, he was not a yin star, and it was quite troublesome for him to run on such a hot day.

Just about to put away the phone, a WeChat message popped up in front of the screen:

"I've arrived. ”

Li Ling raised his head, and saw Sister Yaya in the crowd from afar, not that his eyesight was good, but that the queen's aura was too powerful and too eye-catching.

In this sultry summer, she is dressed cool and bold, a backless V-neck sundress, bare a large area of fair skin, exuding the charm of a mature woman all the time. On his feet, he stepped on five-centimeter high heels, which lined his calves with slender and slender legs. Her long, wavy hair was tied up haphazardly with a rubber band, and she wore a pair of brown sunglasses on her face.

At that station, it was extremely eye-catching, and people came and went. But it is estimated that no one can see that this is a woman in her thirties, not old at all, like a Tianshan Tong grandmother, Li Ling wonders if she is a goblin who eats children every day to maintain her beauty.

"What about this!" Li Ling stood up and waved at Sister Yaya.

Hearing this, Tianshan Tong's grandmother turned around, hooked her sunglasses, and gave him a roll of her eyes for the first time, and then strode towards Li Ling. The heels of the high heels on the smooth marble tiles of the airport are as powerful as a sharp knife.

She walked up to Li Ling, stretched out a finger and poked it on Li Ling's forehead, lowered her voice, and said viciously: "Next time you dare to come with me without saying goodbye, I will chop you up for wine!"
