After saying just a few words, I felt a lot more relaxed.

It’s a pity that the calmness on her face hurt Shen Yi’s heart badly when he saw it.

He stared into her eyes without blinking and asked:

"What you care about is not the incident itself, but their attitude, right?"

Lin You was startled and surprised at his sharpness.

Shen Yi snorted sarcastically, "People in their circle always think that since they have given us benefits, we should humbly accept their charity."

Lin You's eyes darkened, and she didn't want to recall Miss Shi's condescending attitude when she ordered her.

The fingertips she placed on the table shrank unconsciously, and she said hoarsely, "Or... I don't just care about their attitude, but I care more about my own inability to resist."

Perhaps, this is the price of maturity.

When faced with injustice, we always calculate the gains and losses, and then make a choice that even ourselves despise.

For a few pieces of silver, she chose to swallow her anger.

Shen Yi noticed that her eyes were slightly red, and called her softly.

"Senior."

When she looked up, he was meeting her gaze and speaking in a forceful tone.

"We are all ordinary people. There is no shame in bowing to life occasionally."

"If you are not absolutely sure of resisting, lying dormant for a while does not mean you are weak."

"One day, when the time comes, we will make those people pay the price."

The rain was still falling, and the raindrops from the eaves fell on the tiles on the ground, making a dripping sound.

The light in the shop was not very bright, except for a simple lamp hanging above the table where they were sitting.

Under the warm light, the words spoken by this man who was a few years younger than her made her heart flutter.

Once upon a time, she was just like him, looking at the world with a pair of eyes full of dazzling light.

And now...

When did she become such a despicable person?

"Brother Shen, I didn't expect that you are so ambitious despite your young age."

After the fog was cleared, Lin You finally smiled knowingly.

She raised her two tiny dimples and said sincerely, "Thank you for saying these words to me today."

Shen Yi smiled and waved his hands, muttering softly, "These words were not said by me, but..."

"Huh?" Lin You didn't hear clearly.

Shen Yi: "It was said by someone who is very important to me."

Lin You: “Oh.”

Summer rain comes and goes quickly.

By the time the two walked out of the store, the rain had almost stopped.

Lin You refused Shen Yi's offer to send her home, but exchanged contact information with him.

After Shen Yi sent her to the taxi, he did not leave immediately.

He took out his cell phone and his eyes fell on the WeChat avatar of the person he had just added. Her avatar was a small dogtail grass.

He just stared blankly for a long time.

Shen Yi returned to the wonton shop and sat in the seat where Lin You had just sat. He took a photo of the table and posted it to his Moments, adding a line of small words.

〖On a rainy day, in a wonton shop, a bowl of tomato and egg noodles, this is the taste of a long-lost reunion.〗

Ever since his cell phone ran out of battery last time, Lin You has put spare cash in his bag, for fear of being left penniless after failing to make mobile payments.

Unexpectedly, the spare cash came in handy so soon.

When she added Shen Yi on WeChat just now, her phone ran out of battery. She only had time to scan the QR code before it shut down.

After paying the taxi fare, Lin You got off the car and went home, immediately taking out the charger to charge his phone.

While her phone was charging, she took a shower and changed into cartoon pajamas.

The cell phone rings.

She wrapped her wet hair with a towel and trotted over to pick up her phone.

A series of red numbers in the address book.

Are all of them caused by Mr. Shi?

Confused, Lin You quickly answered the phone, "Hello? Mr. Shi?"

Shi Jingyuan was sitting in the car with the windows wide open. The cold wind from the river blew in. He shivered before he was sure that the call had really gone through.

"Yes, it's me." Shi Jingyuan smoked a lot, and his throat was a little hoarse. "Where are you?"

Lin You said as he wiped his hair: "At home."

"You're home?" Shi Jingyuan frowned slightly, "Why didn't you answer the phone just now?"

Lin You patiently replied, "At first my phone was on silent mode, and then it ran out of battery."

Her attitude was very indifferent and even a little perfunctory, and even the respect she usually showed him was gone.

Although this change was not obvious, Shi Jingyuan still caught it.

He recalled her pale face when she left the office in the afternoon, and his tone softened a little.

"Ms. Lin... in the office today..."

"Boss Shi." Lin You interrupted him, "I know I didn't finish my work today. I will rush over early tomorrow to make up for my work tasks."

Hearing this, Shi Jingyuan frowned and tried to explain, "I'm not..."

"Boss Shi," Lin You said in a colder voice, "I am just an ordinary employee in the logistics department. My superior is Manager Hu. If you have any work requirements in the future, you should tell Manager Hu according to the work process."

After a pause, she added.

"Don't worry, I will definitely complete my job after receiving this salary."

After saying that, she hung up the phone without hesitation.

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to hide?

She would never give these people the chance to hurt her and her family again.

What's more, in the minds of these people, interests determine everything, and if you are not in the same class, it will be impossible for you to become friends.

It is even more impossible to become someone closer than friends.

In this case, staying away from it is the best option.

In the bar, Qian Ling saw Shi Jingyuan finish a bottle of strong foreign liquor in half an hour, and his face was full of disappointment.

"Could this female employee who hung up on you be the same one who attacked you in the cafeteria last time?"

Shi Jingyuan did not deny it, but his eyes, which were misty with alcohol, showed a sense of confusion.

"You said... you just asked her to clean up a broken cup. Why should she feel wronged?"

"It was a bit too much for my sister to ask her to shine my shoes, but I helped her out. I asked her to leave and didn't ask her to really shine my shoes!"

"What else is she dissatisfied with?"

"It's just such a small matter...she actually made a fuss?"

"I just had a dream, she is so arrogant, if I..."

The more Qian Ling listened, the more he felt something was wrong, and his eyes widened larger than copper bells.

"The dream you just mentioned? What dream? Did you dream about that female employee?"

Qian Ling was very excited, as if he had discovered a huge secret.

In his impression, Shi Jingyuan had always been indifferent to the things around him, but this time he actually got angry for a woman for the first time.

He really wanted to use his cell phone to record this moment as a souvenir, but his claws had already touched the screen of the phone and he didn't have the courage to do so, so he pulled his hand back in disappointment.
