Lu Zhengkang is sitting in a familiar office. Since he graduated, he has joined this advertising company. His major is financial management, but his work content has little to do with finance. He is responsible for creative design. The leader of the foreman is a senior brother of the same school, two times earlier than him. He is a slow talker and a straight doer.
Lu Zhengkang's girlfriend is Xu Yuanqi, a college student, majoring in fashion design. She came from the north and stayed in southern cities after graduation. Together with Lu Zhengkang, she was responsible for publicity and post work in an online studio. Her working hours were relatively free, at least more free than Lu Zhengkang.
In May, Jiangnan is warm and rainy. It's not accurate to say that. After all, the city where Lu Zhengkang lives has rain almost all the year round. The difference lies in whether it's cold or not.
At 18:51 p.m., it's time to get off work, but the work of the group hasn't been finished. A new rookie will be responsible for it. Someone whispered that he saw the rookie playing games secretly. But rookie said that he is not competent and will make progress in the future.
We are all used to such pretexts, and we believe that this rookie will still affect everyone in the future - no, to be exact, Lu Zhengkang and team leader.
Elder martial brother called Lu Zhengkang to work together. The three of them worked overtime to finish the task. The rest of them had already left.
When Lu Zhengkang finished typing a document, his mobile phone vibrated.
Xu Yuanqi sent a message, she asked, why don't you come to meet me?
Lu Zhengkang unties the screen, points out the message, and then stares at the chat background of wechat. After about five seconds, he slowly types: "it's almost here. 】
Xu Yuanqi said, "you cheat. 】
[you must still be in the company, are you working overtime again? 】
Lu Zhengkang took a look at the documents on his desk.
【…… No, 】
[show up in front of me in five minutes! 】She also had an Emoji look of rage.
[no way. 】
Lu Zhengkang turned off the screen and looked around.
The lights on the floor have been turned off. In addition to the dusk outside the glass wall, only three yellowish eye protection lights are still on in the room. Of course, there are computer screens and elder martial brother's forehead.
Lu Zhengkang smiles. Elder martial brother stands up, goes to him and takes a document. He always helps others as much as he can. The reason why he has not suffered a big loss is that he has excellent ability.
"Thank you, brother Yu."
"Don't thank me, it's not me. You've already gone to pick up Kiki?"
“…… Yes
"It's getting late. You go first."
"I'm almost done."
"Let's go."
"Thank you."
Elder martial brother laughed and took away all the overstocked documents.
Lu Zhengkang shut down the computer and watched the animation for a while.
When he left the company, Xu Yuanqi was waiting downstairs. She was holding an umbrella. Now there was a little light rain. When Lu Zhengkang came out, it just stopped raining.
"Are you a koi? As soon as you come out, it's good weather. "
"I'm not. When I see you, flowers bloom everywhere."
"local love, nausea, mouth area!"
They have dinner together, a habit they have had since college.
At the dinner table, Xu Yuanqi said, "I still want to go to Shangmei."
Of course, Shangmei is in Shanghai. In that city, it is not far from here, but the economic level is far away.
Lu Zhengkang stopped his chopsticks, but his mind began to wander.
Night Shanghai, night Shanghai, you are a, mother, night, fork!
"Well, I have everything." He bowed his head, stuffed a mouthful of minced meat, eggplant and rice, and began to chew.
Xu Yuanqi frowned and stared at Lu Zhengkang with sad eyes. He was so serious about how he ate that he could make people hungry. She recalled her college days. Because Lu Zhengkang's happy eating style led to her over intake of calories. It was a happy time.
Xu Yuanqi reluctantly laughed and lowered her head to fiddle with the few grains of rice in the bowl. "That's the future. Let's not talk about this first."
After dinner, they said goodbye and went back to their homes.
Their companies have arranged staff dormitory, but Xu Yuanqi is with a friend to rent.
In the middle of the night, Lu Zhengkang was awakened by the thunder.
I don't know why. I'm not too sleepy. He sat up, unlocked his cell phone, leaned over the head of the bed and looked through his circle of friends.
Today is the 14th, yesterday the 13th, mother shared five chicken soup articles and two health articles in the whole day of the 13th, as well as some modern problems, such as the problem of providing for the aged, the advantages and disadvantages of children's work in different places.
My father shared some scenery pictures and some literary words of young people.
Xu Yuanqi sent nine shots of dinner six minutes before midnight.
Lu Zhengkang praised them one by one and blocked several micro businesses by the way.
He also wants to make a circle of friends.Only hard work can live up to it, only work can not be hesitant. 】
his intuition told him that this was stupid, but when he was half sleepy, he felt that everything he said was reasonable, so he carefully selected a beautiful deer head pattern as the picture and click to send it.
The next day, there were about 40 pieces of news in the circle of friends. Except for like, there were only four messages left.
Mother said: tired to come back, early rest.
Father said: come on, thumb. JPG
Xu Yuanqi said: don't force yourself too much.
Elder martial brother said: it makes sense.
Xu Yuanqi sent him a message and asked him if she had been under too much pressure recently, or she would not go to Shangmei.
Lu Zhengkang replied: the circle of friends is just casual.
They exchange news, Lu Zhengkang explained for a long time to dispel Xu Yuanqi's guilt.
Since then, he has rarely made friends, although he has rarely made friends.
He began to shield some people from seeing their own state, so that the circle of friends would become a whisper and would not spread everywhere.
A year later.
He didn't get a promotion. His elder martial brother got a promotion. Fortunately, he also got a raise. The rookie was dismissed because he was watching the live broadcast when the boss came to inspect.
When elder martial brother is away, he becomes the team leader. No one will help him with his work, and he is not willing to assign people. Often, he is the one who stays to work overtime.
His mother is urging him to get married and go back to his hometown.
His father asked him to pay attention to his body. Besides, the father and son didn't communicate much.
Xu Yuanqi was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination. She dismissed her job in the studio and chose to do some casual work, so that she could spare more time to prepare for her lessons.
The elder martial brother will meet occasionally to exchange a few words. He is neither fresh nor familiar. Lu Zhengkang knows that the elder martial brother takes good care of everyone around him. There are too many young people like him to be ranked in others' hearts.
Lu Zhengkang's words are less and less.
In the network, he is a transparent person, in reality, the sense of existence is not strong.
I don't know how many times I was late, Xu Yuanqi sent him a series of ellipsis on wechat, and finally attached a tired Emoji expression.
Sitting in the restaurant, Xu Yuanqi orders.
The dishes are ready, and none of them moves their chopsticks.
"I'm so tired, do you understand?" She pressed her dark circles gently.
“……” I see.
"You're getting colder and colder now."
“……” I just don't have the strength.
"I don't want to go on like this."
“……” No.
"Eat."
Lu Zhengkang quit his job. Half a year later, he went to the railway station to see Xu Yuanqi off.
It's hard to get snow in the south of the Yangtze River. In previous years, it always failed in winter. However, this year, the air mass in the north is extremely cold. The Asian high pressure is indeed high.
Standing outside the station, hesitating.
Lu Zhengkang closed his eyes, and the girl put her arms around his neck from behind.
"Deer, Zheng Kang, hee hee."
Xu Yuanqi.
"I'm leaving."
I know.
"Don't think about me."
No way.
Today is December 21st.
Go home and play games.
