escape the moon

Shen Yizhen was half laughing at herself and half joking: "Aren't you afraid that I'll stab you?"

"I said, I'll take care of you if you get involved." Otherwise, why would you want him as a boss.

Shen Yizhen was speechless.

Xiao Shan said: "Also, stay away from An An."

Shen Yizhen didn't understand: "Why?"

Xiaoshan restrained his smile and said, "It's not necessarily right. She is from the media, and she has a lot of crooked things. She used to have a bad reputation in the media circle. She made things difficult for you or scolded you badly. Bear with me before you come back. Find me in private. Try not to quarrel with her, you don’t even know that you are wearing shoes if your feet hurt.”

Shen Yizhen was surprised: "It's not that exaggerated, is it?" It's not uncommon to see people walking sideways in the command post.

"Listen to me, good boy." Xiao Shan casually raised his hand to touch the top of his hair, halfway through, he froze suddenly and quickly retracted it, even the "good boy" seemed to be hallucinating Shen Yizhen.

Shen Yizhen was puzzled, and Xiaoshan quickly changed the subject: "If you have emotions in the future, come to me in private. I am your boss, and it is also my duty to help subordinates solve ideological problems. But it is impossible for me to know that you have emotions every time. If you don't tell me , when things get serious, and you can't bear it, you will explode, and I have no place to cry for you."

Shen Yizhen nodded superficially, and curled her lips secretly.It's not the first day of work for a rookie, how can he be so delicate?

Xiao Shan patted him on the shoulder, turned to leave.

Shen Yizhen suddenly stopped him: "Xiao...General!" He felt that he owed Xiaoshan a word: "Thank you for trusting me."

Xiaoshan waved his hand to signal that he could continue working.

On Saturday morning, people from the clothing store came to measure Alice. The little girl was wrapped in silk and satin, and the bow and artificial pearls attracted all the attention. The designer made her happy. Had a dinner with friends.

Fang Jiang was waiting for him at the gate of the botanical garden.

He asked the driver to stop at the previous intersection and walked to the door.The weather is not too cold, the stars are soft, and the earth is finally round, like delicate glass beads in a jewelry store, polished and polished transparently, shining brightly.When Shen Yizhen raised his head, it seemed that there was a gravitational force pulling his mind to that distant planet.

"Today I can see the circle of the earth." Fangjiang was very happy: "It's so beautiful. I heard that the moon is also round and curved when viewed from the earth, isn't it?"

Shen Yizhen nodded: "Well, there is one day in a month when the moon is perfectly round, and people regard the full moon as a symbol of reunion. For this reason, the society has also set up a celebration day. There are also many legends and stories about the moon. For example, there are palaces on the moon. with beautiful fairies and fairy rabbits."

The moon, in the entire development process of human civilization, is of extraordinary importance and significance.This may be one of the reasons humans later colonized the Moon instead of Mars, he thought.

"You know a lot, do you read it from books?"

"My grandfather used to be the coffin chief of the archives. When I was young, my parents were busy in the hospital. I lived in my grandfather's house. He took me to the archives when he was on duty. After I finished my homework, I read the books in it. There are many interesting things. .”

"What's in the archives?"

"Mostly documents, but also a lot of books."

"It should be very knowledgeable to be the curator of the archives."

"Grandpa knows a lot of things, much more than I do, things I've never heard of."

"Then you must have been very happy when you were young, listening to many stories."

Shen Yizhen smiled and went to the counter to buy a ticket.The two walked into the botanical garden, the temperature was obviously higher, brown soil appeared under their feet, and tall and beautiful trees were displayed on both sides.They smelled a sweet scent of grass dew, like coming out of a perfume bottle.

This is the first time for Fangjiang to come to the botanical garden. She was not interested in plants before, but she and Shen Yizhen came here, and she seems to be interested.

Shen Yizhen bought two more drinks, freshly squeezed sugar cane juice: "Actually, I don't know if you like plants or not, so I just suggested it rashly."

Fang Jiang shook his head: "I used to be busy practicing dance, and I was stuck in the practice room day and night. I was afraid that I would not be admitted to the theater. After finally entering the theater, I thought I could have some space for myself, but I still couldn't make it through. This play catches up to the next one."

"Work, it's all like this." Shen Yizhen could only show a regretful expression when she thought of her dream of being a rich and idle person.

Fang Jiang stared at her and smiled: "I haven't had time to ask you, are you still used to moving? Are you okay at work?"

Shen Yizhen sipped her drink: "It's okay, but the boss is more difficult to deal with."

"Is the requirement very strict? Or should I wear small shoes for you?"

That's not true.Shen Yizhen thought about it carefully, in fact, Xiaoshan did not make things difficult for him in his official affairs, but instead provided him with a lot of help.He accompanied Alice to change the manuscript until late at night, and he coordinated the resources to arrange the physical examination. At the meeting, Alice was nervous and he coaxed him to speak on the spur of the moment. Even if his subordinates have emotions about work, he will talk to resolve them.

Hearing too much from outsiders saying that Xiaoshan is "dominant and bossy", Shen Yizhen also started to automatically label people.Thinking about it now, on the contrary, I first established my prejudice. Xiaoshan was able to sit in the position of general not just because he flattered Feng Jiling, right?Feng Jiling could only help him up, whether he could sit still was up to him. The 78th Division has achieved a lot of victories over the years and has a solid military spirit. Couldn't it reflect Xiaoshan's ability to control his subordinates?

At least at work, Xiaoshan should be a very reliable boss.

Fangjiang saw that his expression was wrong: "If you are unhappy, then I won't ask."

Shen Yizhen shook her head: "No, he is not narrow-minded, maybe I am too nervous to be the exclusive secretary for the first time."

Fang Jiang thought he was speaking cautiously: "Sure enough, he is a promoted person, and his mouth is also tight."

Shen Yizhen let her misunderstand.They walked along the quiet forest road, and a sign stood in front of them, with tropical and subtropical areas on the left, and temperate and frigid areas on the right.Fang Jiang chose the left side, the effect of the temperature control system became stronger and stronger, the temperature rose, and they walked through the green broad-leaved plants like two insects.

The soil gradually turned into turf.The grass is that dark, old dream-like patina color, it is soft to step on, a little prickly to the feet, the dew wets the socks, Shen Yizhen squatted down and picked a thin blade of grass, pulled it out, and put it in his mouth to blow.The clear whistle shot out like a bullet, startling the butterflies, and countless butterfly wings passed over their heads, yellow, red, blue, purple... emitting a strange light, like a church painted with colorful colors. The ceiling of the murals crashed down.

A colorful, beautiful illusion.

Fangjiang widened her eyes and looked desperately, but there were too many butterflies to see.Shen Yizhen blinked at her, the whistle turned, and the bullets turned into feathers, just like the soft words of love between lovers, the butterflies circled up, rolled up into a storm and rose to high places, breaking open the huge oval leaf disk, and the more it rolled, the denser it became , rising higher and higher, suddenly, with a bang, like a dream scattered, each of them hid in the forest leaves without a trace.

The sweltering heat and humidity of the tropical rainforest strangled Fangjiang's throat like a silk thread. She finally found her breath, and saw Shen Yizhen throwing the blade of grass the size of her index finger at her feet.She quickly picked up the leaf to see if there was any mystery hidden in it, but it was indeed just a grass bud.

She was shocked, she had not even seen a few butterflies alive.

"beautiful."

"You dance more beautifully than a butterfly."

She blushed, and it took her a long time to hesitate and find a sentence: "Then...those butterflies, can they obey your command?"

"I often come to play, they just give me face."

"You are so interesting, you are rarer than butterflies."

Shen Yizhen took her as a compliment: "They can only live in this garden, and if they go out, they won't survive for a second. Fortunately, they have companions, otherwise it would be a sad thing. Sometimes I feel that, with plants and animals Making friends is easier than making friends with people."

Fangjiang said: "They have no thought, of course they are simple."

Shen Yizhen asked: "Is it better to have thoughts than to have no thoughts?"

"Of course, humans are the highest animals."

"If human beings are not the highest animal, human beings should be a better animal."

Fang Jiang didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

Shen Yizhen shook her head: "It's nothing, I think we should be equal to them."

Passing through the rainforest and gradually transitioning to the subtropical region, the huge broad leaves become less, and the thick banyan trees appear at the intersection.Fangjiang had never seen such a thick tree trunk, with fibrous roots hanging down, and the roots protruding from the soil were bigger than her whole body. She found a place where the two rhizomes met and sat down, leaning on the roots to rest.

Shen Yizhen felt that her mood had changed: "Have you been away for too long? You don't have to finish shopping today, you can come next time."

He was hinting at the future of the two of them.

Fang Jiang shook her head: "This amount of exercise is nothing to me." She practiced in the practice room for a day, and she was much more tired than walking these few steps.

Shen Yizhen thought, that's something on her mind.But she didn't want to say that he respected her.

Holding the drink cup, Fang Jiang suddenly said, "I'm sorry, Brother Shen, I can't be your girlfriend anymore."

Shen Yizhen was startled, he originally planned to make love after visiting the Botanical Museum today.

"You met someone else?"

"No."

"why?"

Fang Jiang faltered: "I was selected by the teachers of the National Theatre, and let me join the reserve troupe. They go to major theaters every year to select people. If the reserve troupe performs well, it is possible to enter the official troupe and participate in the rehearsal of the national opera. I even toured the country. The teacher said that my body is very suitable and my foundation is solid. But I went, and I can’t fall in love before the age of 35, and I can’t get married and have children.”

Art always requires sacrifice and dedication.

Shen Yizhen understood: "It's a good thing. I should congratulate you. From now on, you will represent the highest level of dancing in the country."

Fangjiang looked at him with faint eyes: "Will you blame me? I chose to dance, but I didn't choose you."

"That only means that you are destined to dance." Shen Yizhen joked: "I haven't seen you dance yet, and I will have to buy tickets to see it in the future. Maybe I can't buy tickets yet, and tickets for National Theater dramas are also available." You might not be able to grab it."

Fang Jiang blushed anxiously: "If you want to watch it, I can dance for you right now, and you can watch it whenever you want!"

It would be a lie to say that Shen Yizhen was not disappointed at all, he thought this girl was very nice, and even looked forward to their being together.If Fangjiang gave up her love for her career, it can only show that she is indeed excellent. She is still so young, she has just been out of society for a few years, and she is at the age of working hard for herself, so she should work hard for a while.It's just that Shen Yizhen can't wait for her to be 35 years old. At that time, he will be in his forties. Maybe he is just a secretary on duty in the secretary's office. How can he be worthy of being a dancer at the National Theater?

But he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Sometimes when he thinks about being in love, he feels a burden. One more person is always more responsibility. He is a person who loves freedom by nature. He was ready to give what he cared about, but he was not accepted, so he was a little lucky.

After all, the botanical garden is endless, and it is hard to say whether there will be a next time.

Shen Yizhen still cares about demeanor: "When you perform, remember to give an old friend a ticket. I would also like to let me buy a ticket, but I'm going backstage to present flowers. Just don't pretend you don't know me."

Fang Jiang knew that he was joking: "How could it be? I don't know if I can act or not. It's just a backup group now."

There is no righteousness in the business, and they broke up at the gate of the botanical garden.Fang Jiang took the initiative to hug him: "I'm sorry, Brother Shen, I'm not worth it, just forget about me, and find someone who is a hundred times better than me in the future."

Shen Yizhen patted her on the back: "They are all in the National Theatre, don't say childish things." In the future, he really can't take care of her anymore. Whether the road ahead is bumpy or smooth, she has to go by herself.

Fang Jiang's eyes were red, and before he could see clearly, he let go and ran away.

She wiped her tears as she ran, and ran all the way to the station before she calmed down.The empty street was dark and cold, as if the heat from the tropical rainforest, the butterflies, and the sound of the grass flute were all a dream.The suspension car passed by like a black wind, she got on the car, and there were not many people in the car, who would go to the botanical garden to play in this cold weather when the sun was setting?That is, an abnormal person like Shen Yizhen.

She had cried enough and picked up the communicator to make a call.

Someone said lazily, "Hello."

She choked up: "I've already rejected him, you promised me, you won't play tricks, right?"

The other party smiled lowly: "I said hello to the theater, and report for duty next week."
