The story of the boss after retirement

Since Li Wei arrived in Taiwan, she and Wei Yu have joined Professor Zheng's Chinese studies class. Professor Zheng is indeed very interesting. He has studied Chinese studies for many years and his teaching method is humorous. Li Wei is immersed in the ocean of books and is happy most of the time, but a little painful when she is catching up with her homework.

If she didn't understand something in her homework, Wei Yu would give her guidance. Li Wei felt that Wei Yu was like a talented person in ancient times who knew everything about astronomy and geography. She felt that Wei Yu's views on many things were not only the same as hers, but also more profound than hers, like a highest version of herself.

Every time she saw Wei Yu, Li Wei always had a very absurd feeling, as if the person in front of her was herself. She went to look for books to learn about concepts such as twin flames and soul mates, but Wei Yu was so good to her, it felt like he was here to accompany her through the tribulation. He should be her soul family. Not all relationships between men and women are about love.

No matter how imaginative Li Wei was, she could never have imagined that Wei Yu was herself.

"Weiwei, when is the winter vacation? How is it over there? Look at you, you have to travel so far. After the Chinese New Year, you will be 27 years old. Your cousin will have given birth by your time..."

"Mom, I'm not going back home for the New Year this year!" Li Wei interrupted her mother's chattering. All the relatives knew that she went to Taiwan to study, and everyone congratulated her on the surface. As for those things that were said in private, such as why she went to study at such an old age, no one would say it in front of her, so she pretended not to hear it.

After changing to a new place, Li Wei felt like a bird out of a cage. She sat on the swing on the balcony, looking at the sea level in the distance. She pushed the swing with her feet to rock herself while talking on the phone with her mother. At this time, a fearless little bird flew to the balcony and ate the broken rice that Li Wei had placed on the balcony.

Ever since Li Wei discovered that there were birds resting on the balcony, she tried putting some rice crumbs on the balcony. Unexpectedly, it attracted more birds. Looking at those furry little birds, Li Wei's heart was filled with tenderness. It was great that the sky was high and the birds were vast.

"Host, why would I transform into a bird to eavesdrop? Can't you hear me?!"

7788 is the bird that is pecking at rice now. Although Wei Yu has the power of a god, in this ordinary world, coupled with the constraints of rules, she can only use the abilities of ordinary people, which means she is only a little bit stronger and a little bit faster than other ordinary people.

"7788, I can hear what Li Wei is saying, but she's in a bad mood right now and she needs an animal to comfort her, so just perform obediently."

Li Wei has always liked birds and cats, but she is more of a paranoid person. She is always afraid of being scratched by them. She is obviously very scared, but she is eager to contact them. When she sees a kitten outside, she can't walk, but she dares not touch it. This is Li Wei.

This is the first time that Li Wei is not going home for the New Year. Her mood at the moment is very complicated. But once a person has tasted the taste of freedom, how can she want to return to the cage?

"You're not coming back for the New Year this year? Why?" Mother Li became a little anxious when she heard Li Wei say she would not come back.

"Well, the school has a folklore research activity, which is to collect the New Year customs in Taiwan. Because of the research needs, I have to stay here during the New Year to collect information."

Li Wei instantly thought of the research project she had seen a few days ago. This was a project in the humanities and social sciences, and somehow it was promoted to the School of Philosophy. Li's mother needed a reason not to go home for the New Year, and she immediately thought of this.

"Do we have to participate in this activity?" Mother Li still missed Li Wei very much. After all, Li Wei went to Taiwan to study alone and had no relatives to take care of her. When Li Wei was in college, she went home with her relatives during the winter and summer vacations.

This is Li's mother. She obviously wants to see her daughter, but she will talk about things that Li Wei doesn't like. Doesn't Li's mother know that Li Wei doesn't like these topics? She knows, but she won't restrain herself, because in her worldview, she doesn't need to be polite when talking to her daughter.

"I have already signed up. This project is led by a professor and there are many things to learn, so I want to stay. After the Chinese New Year, there are still holidays, and I will go back."

"Then you should study hard over there. If you don't understand anything, ask your teacher." Li's mother didn't understand things about studying, but she wouldn't stop Li Wei from striving for progress. Besides, Li Wei was so far away from her now, and this was a serious matter, so she couldn't ask Li Wei to go home for the New Year.

"Have you had dinner yet?"

"Not yet, I'm going out to eat later."

"Then go quickly, and don't eat too late, or you'll gain weight again. No one likes a fat girl." Mother Li couldn't help nagging.

"I understand. I'm hanging up now."

After the call, Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief. Even though she lied with a blank expression on her face, her heart was beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out.

Li Wei put down her cell phone, pressed her hand against her chest to calm her pounding heart, and took a deep breath to adjust her heart rate. This was the first time she didn't go home for the New Year.

Li Wei looked at the black screen of her mobile phone. The bird on the balcony coffee table was still twisting and turning to eat rice grains. Li Wei approached quietly, stretched out her index finger carefully, and gently stroked the bird's feathers. They were so smooth and soft!

The soft and fluffy fur melted Li Wei's heart. The little animal heals the world. The little bird was 7788 in disguise. It was so difficult to play the role of a bird. When Li Wei first touched it, it pretended to be frightened. It also pretended to be greedy for the rice grains and then did not fly away. A normal bird would fly away as soon as Li Wei stood up, but it was nothing like that.

Life is really like a play, it all depends on your acting skills.

Li Wei lied to her mother and felt bad about not going back home for the New Year. However, she just wanted to be alone and quiet. Li Wei could already imagine how her relatives would react if she went back home for the New Year.

Does Weiwei have a boyfriend while studying outside? Is Weiwei still writing? Weiwei, what are you writing? Why don’t you let us see it? Weiwei is very capable now. She is not only a graduate student, but also a great writer...

When the family gets together during the Chinese New Year, family members always like to ask about everything about you in the name of caring about you. Li Wei just wants to eat delicious food and enjoy the warm moments during the gathering instead of being bombarded by relatives. Why do Chinese people like to talk about things at the dinner table so much?

Li Wei felt that these explorations in the name of love were like being pulled out of a rope. Sometimes she felt that she was a bad person. She enjoyed the love of her family. From childhood to adulthood, although her relatives were nagging, they never lacked red envelopes and bonuses. However, she wanted some space of her own. Only after leaving Hexian did Li Wei feel that she was beginning to sprout.

"Dinner is ready." Wei Yu appeared at the right time.

"Weiwei, I'm going to stick with you for the New Year this year." Li Wei looked at Wei Yu and blinked her eyes.

"Okay, I've always spent the New Year alone. It's great that you want to accompany me. Do you want to stay here or take a cruise? I've taken a fancy to a New Year cruise plan that will sail around Asia." Wei Yu brought up the topic that Li Wei was interested in.

"Cruise around Asia!" Li Wei has never been on a cruise, but she has watched videos of food bloggers and she is very interested in them.

"Yes, we will pass by Nanyang and celebrate the New Year with the local Chinese. Aren't you always curious about how people in other places celebrate the New Year?"

Wei Yu knew that Li Wei liked to experience different things. Li Wei had never taken any steps before, until she suddenly broke out at the age of 30. Now Li Wei was a little bolder and saw the vast world. It was great. This was the purpose of her coming back, to take good care of Li Wei.

"Jingle Bell"

Li Wei's phone rang. When she saw the name, her face turned red. Wei Yu knew who it was. She pointed to the door and quietly walked back to the living room, leaving Li Wei some private space.

It looks like the peach blossoms are about to bloom.

Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone, fireworks!
