On the other side, Shang Muxia who came to Annan alone had already found a place to stay, and rented a not too big or small house. Originally, the house was a little run-down, but there really wasn't much money left in the house.
Now that everything was settled, Shang Muxia could finally stop and rest. When night fell, Shang Muxia took out a wooden box from the drawer next to her bed. Inside was a small painting with a phone card. She slowly picked them up and held them between her fingers. Her face was calm, but her thoughts were far away. The drawing was the one Qi Yunjia had given her, the small mobile phone card she had changed from the moment she arrived in Annan. Right now, Shang Muxia's mobile phone was already her new card in Annan.
Once Shang Muxia saw Bai Ye's name, she immediately took out her card. Then she tried to keep her mind calm. Why did she still not dare to see the news about Bai Ye? When she put the old mobile phone card into the box, she had told herself: This card was only left, it was not allowed to be taken out.
Shang Muxia, wake up. They will only break the peace of your life and bring you pain. Don't you feel more at ease without them? In this city now, the scenery is good, the air is good, you like this house, tomorrow you should find a job, and then settle down in peace here. You do like this city after seeing so many places today, don't you?
Shang Muxia kept on hypnotizing herself.
He held the phone card tightly in her hand and went to the toilet. With both eyes closed and a determined heart, Shang Muxia still threw the phone card into the toilet. Hesitating with trembling hands, she was about to press the button to flush, but she was unwilling to press it. She took a deep breath, went to put on a plastic bag, and finally pulled the card out of the toilet. Shang Muxia hated herself for being cowardly.
Just leave it like this, it's no longer needed. She had never been able to make this decision. She only thought to herself that one day, she would be able to face everything in the past and ruthlessly throw these things away.
Not wanting to think about it anymore, Shang Muxia washed the phone card clean and put it back in the original box. Her slender fingers gently caressed the surface of the painting, feeling the smooth texture. It was just like the feeling Qi Yunjia gave her, clean, direct, with a sense of meaning and texture.
Only after Shang Muxia had enough memories did she put the box back in the drawer. She turned off the light and went to sleep, but in the end she couldn't sleep at all.
The next morning, the sun shone through the glass window and hit her white face. Shang Muxia knew that it was time for her to get up and find a job, so she sat up and stretched herself, and looking out the window at the sunny weather, she felt that she had returned to the simple life she had before.
She had never been to this city before, but she did not feel that she was a stranger. Instead, she had a premonition that she could live in harmony with this city. In Shang Muxia's opinion, as long as it was a new city, new life was always good.
In this new place, it was like life had turned into a different story. There was no white night, no Lin Zhiqian, no neighbors, and no past. No one knew her, but everyone was smiling back at her.
When Shang Muxia walked on the quiet street, passing a few passersby, with the bright sunlight above her head and the gentle breeze blowing, she felt very relaxed. This kind of life made her feel very satisfied.
However, Shang Muxia was not going out for a stroll today, nor was she going out for fun. This time, the state of mind when she went out to look for a job was completely different from the state when she went out to look for a job after her resignation as a rising star. The current her was filled with hope for the future, but the Shang Muxia in the past had left with despair.
Shang Muxia held onto her resume, and slowly looked at the recruitment notice pasted on the board. Actually, with her conditions, going to a better company wouldn't be a problem at all, but she didn't know what to pick. With so many employers around, she didn't have a single one.
As a result, even after a day had passed, Shang Muxia still had not found a job.
It was already rather late, and the sunlight was no longer bright and bright. Instead, it was replaced by dark clouds. The dark clouds pressed down, and soon after, it began to rain heavily. The weather in this city changes really fast.
Once it began to rain, the pedestrians started to walk in a hurry. Those that returned home, those that went home to shelter themselves from the rain, their steps were a bit hurried. The streets slowly became cold and empty. Shang Muxia didn't bring an umbrella, she could only use her resume to cover the top of her head as she jogged. However, these pieces of paper were quickly soaked by the rain, and were no longer able to block out the rain.
The place she was currently staying was still quite a distance away from the house she had rented. Even if she ran back now, she would still need about ten minutes to be completely drenched, so Shang Muxia wanted to find a place to hide first.
Just as Shang Muxia was about to leave, suddenly, she saw a white fluffy kitten running anxiously towards the middle of the road. Seeing a car coming towards them, Shang Muxia couldn't care less as it was raining heavily and the wind was blowing, so she couldn't see the existence of this cat through the windshield. If she did not go and save him, the cat would be crushed to death by the car right in front of her eyes. She could not bear to see such a scene.
So, she quickly ran over to pick up the little cat. The car that was about to sped up to them clearly did not see a cat on the road, and it did not slow down at all. Shang Muxia thought that she would be able to run back to the human street after picking up the kitten, but who would have thought that just as she picked up the cat, the car was right in front of her.
She thought she was dead for sure, but after a long while, she still didn't feel any pain. Fortunately, the car didn't rush up.
When Shang Muxia finally opened her eyes, she saw that the distance between the car and her was only about two centimeters. It seemed that she was lucky, the driver's skill was really good.
Even so, Shang Muxia's heart did not calm down for a long time, and her mind was still muddled.
"Miss, are you alright?" a man asked.
Shang Muxia didn't notice that the man in the carriage was walking towards her, she only heard the vague sounds of people talking to her.
Knowing that she was uninjured, she came back to her senses and gently stroked the wet fur of the kitten in her arms. Her actions seemed to comfort her frightened heart, but also seemed to comfort the kitten that had almost lost its life.
"Miss?" After the second call, Shang Muxia turned around and looked at the man who got off the carriage.
Just as Shang Muxia wanted to answer that he was alright, she saw the other side of the door opened, revealing half of her grey coloured pants, following that was a black umbrella that was held up by her slender hands. As he approached, Shang Muxia saw this person clearly. His thin lips were pursed slightly, and his facial features were distinct.
"Miss, is this your cat?" His voice was not as cold as the white night, but it had a hint of warmth to it.
His gentleness caused Shang Muxia's heart to tremble, but he actually did not blame her for running over to his car. It was truly an accident, Shang Muxia even stuttered when he spoke, "No, no."
This elegant man slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about something. Since it wasn't her cat, why would she risk her life to protect it? The moment Shang Muxia saw him clearly, he also saw the woman who suddenly ran to the middle of the road. This rash woman in front of him was pretty pretty good-looking, but her character shouldn't be that bad.
He had never seen a woman who risked her life to save a cat. Was she stupid?
When the man saw that Shang Muxia was almost drenched, he moved the umbrella a little to the top of Shang Muxia's head and looked at the resume in her hands that was already soaked through. "You're here to find a job? You don't have an umbrella? "
