Flashy Circle 3

Back in the hotel suite, Ling Shang walked out of the terrace.

As time passed, the night became more and more intense.

The starlight seen at Luo Zixin's house before has dimmed.

Ling Shang bowed his head, letting the wind blow his forehead and hair.

After a long time, he returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

The vast space is unbearably quiet.

Ling Shang called the housekeeper, "...you go and find out if He Xiutong is on duty tonight."

"Yes."

After a while, the butler replied, "He Xiutong has asked for leave".

"Leave?" Ling Shang frowned.For so long, it was the first time he heard that the hard-working Kappa would ask for leave.

"Yes, I asked for personal leave this morning."

Ling Shang waved his hand, and the butler withdrew.

It has been two weeks since He Xiutong left ecstatically with good news for Jiang Junsen.

Ling Shang knew that with He Xiutong's mind, it would take a lot of time to come up with a statement that Jiang Junsen could accept without making him suspicious of the new position; so when he met He Xiutong during this period, he didn't Bring it up again.

He Xiutong cared so much about Jiang Junsen's future, if he really persuaded the latter to change jobs, he would fly to report to him immediately.

It's been a long time since I saw the good news, but when we met, the kappa's brows became more and more depressed every time. It seemed that the persuasion work was not going very well.

Regardless of what He Xiutong said to Jiang Junsen, from Jiang Junsen's point of view, if he really had the ambition to brave the wind and waves and the determination to do everything he could, he would never be just a small assistant until now.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, let He Xiutong see clearly the Achilles' heel of his sweetheart with his own eyes.

Reality is always cruel.The most cherished things are often the most thoroughly destroyed.

Ling Shang believes that He Xiutong's request for leave must have something to do with this matter.

After thinking about it, he asked the housekeeper to fetch the car keys, got up and went out.

-

Small bedroom with no lights on.

He Xiutong nestled under the quilt, weeping silently.

He did a very, very wrong thing - expressed his heart to Jiang Junsen.

Not long after, he received a text message that made him very, very desperate. Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't resist the sadness-Jiang Junsen rejected him.

-

More than a week ago, after He Xiutong racked his brains to figure out how to tell Jiang Junsen about changing jobs, he came to Jiang Junsen's home with a leaflet.

"Jun, Junsen, you, you see, this is the recruitment, recruitment advertisement, and advertisement that I, I, and my colleagues have read and seen today. The jobs and positions above are very, very good,... ...I, I think that with your, your ability, one, definitely, can be, can be competent, and competent....Do, do you want to change, change to a new job, work environment, and environment?"

Jiang Junsen just came back from duty and was a little tired, but he was a little surprised when he heard He Xiutong's words, "...boy, are you... persuading me to quit?"

These words really didn't sound like He Xiutong would say them.

He Xiutong bit the bullet, "...Ah, um. I, I see that you are not, unhappy in the wine and hotel... I, I want to help, help... I just, just happened to be a friend of my colleague's friend, friend After entering this, this sea, the island paradise workers, work, so, so I got a, a piece of publicity, leaflets from the inside, I heard, I heard that the above jobs, positions, and benefits are all very good... ..."

Jiang Junsen took the flyer and read it.Not long after, he frowned, "The place of work is on the island... I live there from Monday to Friday..." He felt that the place of work was a bit remote, inconvenient and not safe.Besides, this development company called "Scorpio" has never been heard of before, maybe it is a leather bag company...

To be honest, although Jiang Junsen knew that he had no future in the hotel, he never thought about changing jobs.After all, I have been doing this job for so many years, and I have long been used to it.After getting used to it, there is virtually a sense of peace of mind.He is not young anymore, and now he runs to a new environment, everything is unfamiliar, and he is still on an island isolated from the surroundings, no one will try it easily.

"Thank you, boy. I'll think about it." But meeting He Xiutong's eyes, he couldn't bear to say it directly, wasting He Xiutong's good intentions, "...I'm a little tired tonight, it's too late Let's talk again?"

"This, this way... oh..." He Xiutong was full of things he wanted to say, but he was choked back like this.

A little later, He Xiutong went to Jiang Junsen to talk about job hopping.

"Jun, Junsen, today, today I searched and searched on the Internet. There are, there are many, many news about this sea and island paradise! The Internet and online stores are overwhelming. Their commercials... yes, it's a big, big project! Jun, Jun Sen, go, go there to work, the work is very, very good..."

"Since this paradise is so famous, many people will definitely apply for it. How can it be my turn to fight for those high jobs?" Jiang Junsen smiled.

"But, but, you haven't tried it, how, how do you know it won't work?"

"Thank you for your concern, boy. Firstly, I have no management experience, and secondly, it doesn't matter if I don't have a background. Why should others take me seriously? In the hotel, I am still a person with seniority. It doesn’t sound good, but it’s not like being a coolie.”

"No, no!" He Xiutong almost moved Ling Shang out. "Uh... I, my colleague's friend, my friend said, I, our boss, is also one of the investors of Le Paradise, say, maybe, say, maybe he, he sees it is his own , My employees, employees, Hoi An, well-arranged, better positions, positions..."

"That's even worse. The boss will only think that I'm not safe enough, and even tell him how dissatisfied I am with the hotel by changing jobs..." Jiang Junsen smiled wryly and shook his head, "I dare not take this risk."

"..." He Xiutong was speechless.

Yesterday, He Xiutong ran to Jiang Junsen for the third time.

Jiang Junsen felt really strange why He Xiutong insisted on changing jobs.He looked at He Xiutong and asked seriously, "Little boy, tell me the truth, what's the matter with you recently? Why do you mention to me about going to the island to work every few days?"

"I, I..." He Xiutong scratched his head.In desperation, Ling Shang was moved out.

"A-actually...it was my boss who gave me the leaflet...he, he said...for example, if you are willing to try new environments, the job descriptions on the flyer , any position, you can choose..."

"...What did you say?" Jiang Junsen almost thought that his ears had failed. "...You mean the boss? You know the boss? And... what's 'you pick', what's going on?"

"I, I..." He Xiutong pinched the hem of his clothes tightly with both hands, "I, I didn't, didn't tell, told you before... The, that ring, the ring that you dropped, was, was a Ling, did Mr. Ling help, help to find, find it back?... That, that 'Mr. He, he helped me no, a lot, I, we became, became friends..."

Jiang Junsen was very shocked.He really didn't know that He Xiutong and their boss were friends!So, these days, what He Xiutong said about "friends of colleagues" is all false.

"...Is it because of you that this leaflet came to me?" Jiang Junsen shook the island paradise recruitment advertisement in his hand.

"This, this... of course not, no!" He Xiutong hastily denied it, "Boss, the boss is willing, sure, to believe in your ability and ability, so you will agree to my request! "As soon as the words came out, He Xiutong regretted it.What "request"? !You fool!

Jiang Junsen could hear clearly, "...A request? You asked the boss to give me a good job...don't you?"

"No... no, no..." He Xiutong shook his head hastily.

"I'm not Chuhe! I don't need the charity from those rich people at all!" The hidden thorn suddenly stabbed in his heart, Jiang Junsen couldn't control his temper, "What's wrong with me being an assistant to the lobby manager Okay? Why do you want to go up to those rich people to make a request? Why?"

"Can't we live without the help of those rich people?! Boy, you let me down!"

"Jun, Junsen, yes, I'm sorry...don't, don't be angry..." It was the first time seeing Jiang Junsen getting so angry, He Xiutong felt lost and apologized blindly.

The more regretful and guilty He Xiutong was, the more Jiang Junsen couldn't hold back his anger, "Work is my own business, why did you go and talk to the boss on your own?! Why?!"

He Xiutong lowered his head, bit his lip, and looked trembling.

Jiang Junsen looked at him, "...you are also interested in rich people, right? You think I am pitiful, so you tell the rich person you are looking for, 'help me', so he throws a leaflet over , saying 'choose whichever your friend likes', is that right?!"

He Xiutong suddenly raised his head, "No, it's not..."

"Then why are you doing this?! In your eyes, am I that pitiful?! Why are you doing this?!"

He Xiutong couldn't stand Jiang Junsen's pressing questions step by step, "Because...I, I like, like you..."

"Jun, Jun Sen, I, I like, like you..."

-

"..." He Xiutong buried his face in the pillow.The scene of last night can't be lingered.His confession obviously made Jiang Junsen froze.

After a while, Jiang Junsen came back to his senses, and then hurried out of the house.

As soon as Jiang Junsen left, He Xiutong burst into tears.

"...I'm really, really stupid..." He Xiutong blamed himself, and shrank back into the bed.

At midnight last night, Jiang Junsen sent him a text message.He apologized for his impulsive questioning, and said, "Xiao Tong, I'm sorry... I like you, but not in the meaning you said... I'm sorry."

Thinking of this, He Xiutong cried again.Obviously my lips are very dry, why are there so many tears coming out of my eyes.

He asked for leave early this morning, and then nestled in the small room without coming out.

He is like a tortoise, tightly huddled in its shell.Finally, die of thirst, starvation, disease, and old age.

-

Ling Shang parked the car and got out.

He looked up at the floor where He Xiutong lived.

There is no light from the windows.

It was late at night, and it was dark all around.

Ling Shang went upstairs.When he arrived at He Xiutong's house, he dialed He Xiutong's cell phone.A cell phone rang faintly from inside.

The sudden ringing of the bell startled He Xiutong.He poked his head out of the bed and saw the flickering of the mobile phone screen on the bedside table.

Taking the phone, He Xiutong wiped his eyes, only to see clearly that it was Ling Shang's call.

He quickly picked it up, "...Hello?"

The thick nasal voice cannot be concealed.As soon as Ling Shang heard it, he knew that he had cried, "...I am outside your door now, come out and open the door."

He Xiutong couldn't react immediately, "...you, what did you say, what?"

-

He Xiutong turned on the light and opened the door, and Ling Shangzhen stood outside the door.

"Please, please come in..."

"What's wrong with you?" Ling Shang looked at his face.

He Xiutong shook his head, "No, it's all right." He looked up at Ling Shang, "You, you came to find, to find me... Is, what, what, what?"

"I heard that you asked for leave, I'll come and have a look."

"...Thank you, thank you." For some reason, He Xiutong's nose was sour, and tears fell down again. "Yes, I'm sorry..." He Xiutong hurriedly wiped his tears with the back of his hand, "I, I'll go to the kitchen, the kitchen will pour you a glass of water..."

"no need."

He Xiutong asked for leave for no reason, something bad must have happened.Ling Shang came to see how this poor man was tortured by cruel facts with a schadenfreude.

But seeing him crying, I felt a little "sympathy" in my heart.

"Sit down and tell me what happened." Ling Shang said.

It seemed that every time I wanted to punish He Xiutong, and wanted him to feel the ruthlessness of reality, in the end, I always became the one who gave him a hand.

This kappa is really an alien creature.

He Xiutong sat down and looked at Ling Shang.For some reason, I suddenly felt like crying.

As he thought about it, his body took a step ahead of his will, and he really burst into tears; it seemed that the silent tears of the previous ten hours were just a foreshadowing for the loud crying now.

"Yes, I'm sorry...I, I..." He desperately wiped his tears with the back of his hand.

Ling Shang took out a handkerchief and handed it to him, "Use this."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Ling Shang looked at He Xiutong.This was the first time someone cried so ugly in front of him.The facial features are all shrunk together, tears and snot are mixed together, and the mouth is still grinning so wide.

Perhaps it is such a clear ugliness that can convey the same clear pain.

He Xiutong, who was trembling all over, looked thinner than usual; that skeleton couldn't even support the pajamas he was wearing now.

Ling Shang suddenly felt that he was really cruel, and he was thinking of taking pleasure in other people's misfortune before.

He reached out to pat He Xiutong's back, but he felt the protruding spine.So thin, through the skin and pajamas, I can still feel the joints of the bones.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." He Xiutong cried intermittently, just apologizing.

This has become his habit.Whether right or wrong, He Xiutong will always apologize.Only in this way can he feel at ease and be worthy of his useless personality and pasty head.

Ling Shang was silent and only patted him on the back.

-

After crying enough, He Xiutong sobbed and recounted what happened to Ling Shang.

Although lacking in logic, Ling Shang still understood.

"I, I'm too stupid, no, I shouldn't have confessed... Now, now Jun, Jun Senken, must feel very, troubled..." He Xiutong lowered his head and tightened his body.

"...Jiang Junsen looks forward and backward when doing things, and likes to think about problems. I don't see any good points in him." Ling Shang said lightly.

He Xiutong raised his head, with steam still in his eyes, and asked in a daze, "...One, must it be very, very good, to be, to like, to like it?"

Ling Shang was taken aback.

Is it true that you have to be good to fall in love with it?

If it is not good at all, is it worthless to be loved?
