octopus don't cry

I got a call at night.

I returned from the balcony to the sofa in the living room, stared at the TV screen for a long time, and suddenly asked inexplicably, "What do you think Qi Ji is going to do?"

What I said was so nonsensical, but Lin Lin could understand it, there was no way, he forced me to tell everything.

But he didn't answer me quickly, but asked first: "It's not him himself, he called."

I was surprised and nodded, "It's his secretary."

"Hey..." He fell down on the sofa, his black hair covered half of his face, but he looked smug, he thought for a while, and then slowly smiled, "Ah, I see."

I frowned, "Know what."

"He's avoiding you." He said, "Because he was so kind to you before, you still reject him, making him think that you hate him and can't avoid him."

I was stunned for a moment, and then I couldn't laugh or cry, "Then you probably guessed wrong, his secretary called me to deal with the shares, and I said that the shares would be returned to him." I put the phone on the coffee table, and Turning down the sound of the TV a little, he picked up a banana and peeled it, and handed it to him.

-

However, although it was just a casually mentioned topic, I couldn't completely ignore what he said.

I sometimes think of some scenes, seven years ago, five years ago, and even now.Many things have left traces, but I no longer have that kind of nostalgia.

When the issue of shares is resolved, it will probably be over.

-

I brought Lin Shiran to the store and asked him to "earn some money to offset the rent". You must know that his face is so easy to use...

But he either watches TV in the lounge, or plays computer games in my office.Most of the time, there were not many guests, and he was lying on the sofa in the hall. His hair was slightly long and scattered messily on the sofa, and each strand was beautifully curved.

When I look back occasionally, I can see him looking back at me, or sleeping peacefully.

This is probably the life I want.

But life didn't stop there.Wu Yu called.She said on the phone that I am divorced.

Then she said, "I'm at the airport."

-

When I arrived at the airport, Wu Yu was feeding Chenchen a cake.They sat on the chairs in the waiting room, surrounded by silence, and the expressions on their faces were exactly the same.

She heard my footsteps, raised her head and smiled at me, "You're here."

She wore a ponytail, a navy blue hoodie, black jeans, and a pair of black and white canvas shoes.She didn't wear any makeup, and her face was bare.

I seemed to see the girl who was reading novels in the bookstore with her tongue out.

She is actually only 26 years old.She and Xie You were a typical college romance, and then they came to the stage of marriage.They have been married for four years and have a child, but they cannot hold hands for a lifetime.

She tucked some long bangs behind her ears, and nodded my face, "Don't be so sad, it's not like we won't be able to meet each other in the future."

"Your parents arranged it," I asked her.Wu Yu is different from me, she grew up in a city since she was a child, her parents have been teachers all her life, and she also wanted to spend her old age in this city, but she had to leave unexpectedly.

I saw her caressing Chenchen's hand, paused, and said, "They don't know, I'm divorced."

I looked at her in surprise.

She glanced at me, as if she felt that I was making a fuss, "What's so surprising, I told them they were married, so they can still get divorced."

"Then why are you in such a hurry, didn't you just go through the formalities..."

"I just want to leave quickly. To avoid any accidents, the Xie family made Chenchen..."

Maybe it was related to the child, her face was a little dark, or she was concerned about the child, she changed the subject, "Chenchen doesn't like to talk, I am usually busy, so I don't pay attention to her. Now that I have time, I plan to take her It's fun."

"I don't want her to stay in Xie Youna. Although you can get a better material life, if you want to grow up healthily, material things alone are not enough. I want Chenchen to know that some things are more important than temporary enjoyment of."

I froze for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

But as she checked in, I couldn't help but ask, "Why not wait, or have some wiggle room?"

She held Chenchen by the hand, the little girl's face was still expressionless, she was wearing a ponytail, the same hairstyle as her mother.She looked at her mother, and suddenly said something, "Can't we see Zeze in the future?"

Wu Yu froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "No, we can still see Zeze."

Then she raised her head, did not answer my question directly, and made a playful expression, "Why did you ask me this question, you obviously understand it, you five years ago..."

She draws out the ending, like a jumping dolphin.I was startled for a moment, a little surprised for a moment, and finally there was a hint of worry in my eyes.

But she waved her hand without looking back, "Goodbye."

-

I do know what Wu Yu asked me back, because I have done the same thing.

Frustrated, he left in a panic, probably because he was afraid that he couldn't help but ask why.

-

I went to Qi Rui.

I stood outside for half an hour and finally went inside.

The hostess at the front desk is well-trained, even though I am in such a mess right now—I was soaked by a sudden heavy rain when I got out of the airport, and my hair was sticking to my cheeks, she still had the same expression and smiled sweetly, " Sir, do you need any help?"

I was suddenly at a loss for words.It took a long time before he said, "I'm looking for Qi Ji."

The lady at the front desk still smiled beautifully, "Do you have an appointment?"

"No." I thought for a while, "My surname is Shen, and my full name is Shen Xizhe." I suddenly got stuck, although I knew that the front desk should have been instructed, but I didn't bring any ID to prove my identity because of a sudden impulse.

I patted my head, feeling a little helpless and funny in my heart, thinking that I should just leave.

"Wait, sir." Unexpectedly, she stopped me suddenly, with a kind smile on her face, "The president has been waiting for you for a long time, please take the elevator directly." She said as if she was afraid that I would not know , and said: "The president's office is on the 25th floor."

There were all kinds of people in the hall, there were eager assistants, and young and beautiful new men and women, but at this moment, all the eyes in the hall were cast over calmly.

I accepted all the looks, including curiosity, surprise, contempt, and even a hint of sympathy.I bite the bullet and quicken my pace.

I feel a little bitter.Shen Xizhe, Shen Xizhe, have you forgotten what kind of company this is, and came here so hastily.

-

The entire 25th floor is Qi Ji's office.There are only two doors from the elevator, one is a huge conference room, and the others are all his space.

This was my selfish desire to expand the company at the time.There are too many beautiful people in the entertainment industry. I don't want any elegant beauties or boy secretary to be sitting outside Qiji's gate besides me, so his secretary and the like are all arranged on the 24th floor.

He should have seen my intentions at the time, but he didn't expect me to leave, and he still didn't change.

In fact, if you go up to the second floor of my bar, you can find the layout there, even the furniture is exactly the same style, but not so luxurious.

I probably liked it too much at first.Every flaw in him I condoned, every innocuous eccentricity a secret known only to me.His preferences gradually integrated into my life.So even if you leave, your thinking will become a habit.

The elevator stopped on the 25th floor, and I stood inside and clenched my fists.

It turns out that every time I think that he doesn't like me, it hurts my heart.

But I think now, things will always get better.

I pushed open the door.

-

Qi Ji was sitting behind the desk, with a cup of tea on the coffee table with some antiques. He probably received the notice, so he was already waiting for me.

"Drink something to warm it up." He pushed over a cup of ginger tea, I took a sip, and unexpectedly found that the taste of ginger was treated very lightly.

I was slightly surprised and found that there was still a towel on the sofa.I raised my eyebrows, picked up a towel and wiped my half-dried hair, then took another sip of ginger tea.

I don't know if it was the influence of what Lin Lin said, but I sat for half an hour and drank the ginger tea little by little. He didn't speak, and just looked at his documents calmly.But during the period, I occasionally went to observe a certain elite, and found that he hadn't turned over a single page of the proposal in front of him, and even the posture of holding the pen hadn't changed.

No way.

I shook my head, pushing the ridiculous thought out of my mind.He happened to raise his head too, and our eyes met a point in the air.

He said calmly, "Do you feel better?"

I nodded, "Thank you."
