Sunny after rain

four

On the way back to the hotel, I wondered if Mr. Fang had fallen asleep...

I have been traveling with her for more than a year, and I know that although she does not recognize the bed, it is not easy to fall asleep... But fortunately, she can sleep deeply when she falls asleep, but before that, she may need to toss and turn for a while...

In the end, I decided to send a line to tell her that I accidentally chatted too late, and I was afraid that I would disturb her when I came home late, so I asked the counter for another room, and went to the room to find her the next morning.

I asked the taxi driver to drop me off at a distance of about 10 minutes' walk from the hotel. I felt very hot after drinking alcohol. Walking and blowing the air should help the alcohol to recede a little...

As I walked, I thought about what happened with Ruoci before. We met, attracted each other, decided to be together, and finally separated violently.

We in love seem to be unable to avoid blinding the rational process because of love. We always only want to see what we want to see and feel what we want to feel... Is it true that people in love cannot be selfish no matter what? , because the reason why love happens is to satisfy our ego needs...

Perhaps, since we broke up a few years ago, I have been subconsciously resisting, and I don’t want to experience a disordered life because of feelings again, so I don’t think about things related to feelings. Even if there were one or two people who made my heart flutter, Choose to ignore with other busy chores too.

Alas, sure enough, time is squeezed out.

I walked into the hotel and asked the lady at the counter if there were any vacancies. She asked me to wait in the lobby and she arranged for me.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Mr. Fang appeared.

"Mr. Fang, why haven't you slept yet?" I asked in surprise, and looked at my watch, it was two o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Do you want to check your phone?" She raised her eyebrows.

I quickly took out my phone and found that she had replied to my message, but...

"You've been silent since you ate with me, right?"

"Uh, yes...sorry."

"Don't waste money, I'm still dealing with business, so I don't go to bed so early." She "recited" the message to me.

"so……"

"So I told the counter to let me know if you come back." She said it as a matter of course.

"Oh……"

"Let's go, go back."

I followed her back to the room.

"I'll finish this part, you can figure it out." She finished and went back to her desk to work.

I took my clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

In fact, this kind of situation is not surprising. She is on a business trip with Mr. Fang, and this is often the case. After an important meeting, she is used to sorting out the things related to the meeting first, and will hand over the work to me the next day.

Being the special assistant of General Manager Fang is very tiring, but General Manager Fang is definitely more tiring than her special assistant.

She is a very executive by example.

I took a shower and went back to bed, thinking about whether I should go to bed first or wait for her...

"How are you? Meeting your friend?" she asked me without looking up.

I'm not sure if she really wants to know, or if she's just asking.

"Well, it's good..."

"Meng Qing, I've made a decision." She looked up and looked at me in the mirror.

I looked at her, wondering if I should ask.

"Clear public and private, can you do it?" Her question let me know the result.

"That's for sure." I nodded.

"Okay. Go to bed first, don't wait for me." She said to me.

I know it's a sign of her satisfaction.

Like many bosses, she has the trait of not being easy to compliment people, especially subordinates.

I lay down silently, covered the quilt, and fell asleep not long after.

After some time, I was woken up by the sound of rain.

It rained suddenly, and it was heavy rain.

I saw that Mr. Fang was still up.

"Why did you wake up?" She found me sitting on the bed, looking at me through the mirror and asked.

"It's raining heavily..." I watched the rain keep hitting the window.

If I'm at home, I turn on the stereo and turn up the volume enough to drown out the rain...

But now, I can't help it.

Scary memories of rainy days start to surface.

"Well, when I was young, I thought it was going to be over, but I didn't expect..."

"Is Mr. Fang not finished yet?" I said, getting out of bed and opening the mineral water on the table beside me.

"Soon." She glanced at me.

I felt a tightness in my throat, as if there were hands choking me... I know, it's because of the sound of the rain.

"Meng Qing, are you okay?" She seemed to see something wrong with me.

"Well, it's okay." I tried to keep myself calm.

"All right? Didn't you notice that you were shaking all over?" She got up and approached me.

I found it, but I don't know what to do.

"What's wrong with you?" She put her hands on my shoulders.

I looked at her and wanted to say something, but nothing came out, the voice seemed to disappear.

I turned around slightly, she let go, and I went back to bed, glad I chose the bed against the wall.

I wrapped myself in a quilt and huddled against the wall, trying to escape the world.

But the quarrels in my ears are getting louder and louder, and the sound of rain is deafening, trying to drown me out.

I covered my ears hard and tried to hide in the corner of the wall, but I couldn't hide... I was so helpless.

I didn't dare to cry, bit my lips tightly, and secretly prayed that all this would pass quickly... The rain will stop quickly, if the rain stops, everything will be fine...

"Meng Qing, it's okay..." Suddenly a person hugged me.

I couldn't care who that person was, I grasped her hand tightly as if catching driftwood, "No, leave me alone... please..." I begged.

"It's okay, don't be afraid, I am here, and I will protect you."

I feel wrapped in my arms, I haven't felt so warm, so close to someone in years...

After that incident happened, I started to arm myself and never let anyone get close to my heart. Even if I fell in love, I wanted to be the "strong" side, the one who could protect the other party.

So when I realize that I am not strong enough, I will try my best to force the other party away from me... I have pushed away many people who love me, and finally, only me is left...

"It's okay, go to sleep, the rain will stop when you wake up." I heard a voice coaxing a child.

Unable to resist, I obediently fell asleep.

The rain outside the window seems to be getting smaller.

All this is a dream.

Must be.

I opened my eyes and picked up the phone beside me... 08:30!

I was so scared that I jumped out of bed.

"Are you awake?" Hearing my voice, Mr. Fang asked me.

"President Fang...I'm sorry..." I was a little, no, very embarrassed.

"It's okay, I have already called the company to say that I will be in later." While saying this, the sound of the keyboard did not stop.

"Sorry, I overslept."

"It's okay, it's not easy to work with me, and it's acceptable to oversleep occasionally when you're tired. Did you sleep well?" There was no reproach in her words.

I tried to think about last night... I remember drinking with Ruoci, and when I came back, I wanted to sleep in another room by myself, but Mr. Fang came down and carried me back to the room, asking me to sleep first...

Then I had a dream.

I dreamed that on that rainy night, the person who was going to leave stayed behind at my begging, and coaxed me to sleep like before...

I wish it wasn't a dream...

"What's wrong? I've been in a daze since I woke up, haven't I slept enough?" Mr. Fang shook his hand in front of my eyes.

"Ah, sorry. I slept well," I said, a little guilty.

Hope she doesn't see it.

"Really?..." She looked at me, "That's good. Go and prepare, and go directly to the company after breakfast." She said.

I quickly freshened up and went out with her.

A busy day has begun again.

President Fang went to the company to announce her decision, held another meeting, and explained everyone, including my work, and we left the company in the afternoon.

"Thank you for your hard work these two days." Mr. Fang suddenly said to me on the way to the high-speed rail station.

"Why did Mr. Fang say that? If I didn't oversleep this morning, we should be able to leave at noon."

"Well, the weather turned better when we were about to leave... It was raining like something last night..." She said looking at the sunshine outside the window.

"Yeah? It rained a lot last night?"

So... am I dreaming because of the heavy rain, or... is it not a dream at all?

If it is not a dream, who is the person sleeping with me beside me?

It couldn't be her in the back seat.

"Yeah, it's very big. Fortunately, it stopped in the morning, otherwise it would be really inconvenient." She said.

In fact, I felt a little strange that she suddenly noticed the weather, but I am not a person who asks more questions, and I mostly listened quietly to what she said.

After getting on the high-speed rail, a message from Ruoci came: "You know the result, don't you? Would you like to congratulate me?"

"Congratulations, please teach me more in the future."

"Thank you. You too, please give me your advice." With a smile, I put the phone back in my bag.

The biggest reward of this trip to Kaohsiung is probably meeting Ruoci!

"Meng Qing," I heard Mr. Fang calling me in the tone of work, and I immediately sat upright, "Don't be so nervous... Can you work overtime the day after tomorrow, Mid-Autumn Festival?" She asked.

How can a boss ask employees to work overtime and ask for opinions?

"Oh, yes."

"I don't need to go home to reunite with my family or something? The three major festivals..." It was only then that I realized that she was thinking about "Mid-Autumn Festival".

"No. Do you still pick up Mr. Fang in the morning?" I asked.

"Well, I hope you will accompany me to a luncheon. Yilin and I were supposed to go there, but he has something to do and he won't be back until next week."

"Uh..." I was thinking about how to tell her that I have no experience in attending that kind of formal occasion, let alone clothes, make-up and hair.

"Don't worry about clothes. I'll arrange it when you come to my house in the morning. You can come in a shirt suit. As for what you should do, I'll tell you later."

"Okay, I see." I replied obediently, wondering why she knew what I was thinking?
