【Blast Out】Love at Second Sight

"According to your resume, you graduated from university two years ago, and your professional experience in the first two years was blank. Can I ask what happened?"

The supervisor closed the folder and looked at him. Izuku Midoriya felt a little cramped. The suit bought at the fast-food store was too big, and the cuffs reached to his palm.After hearing the question, he looked at the supervisor, and at the same time took a steady breath to sound calm.

"My mother had a sudden illness two years ago, and I have been taking care of her," he said. "I was in the hospital most of the time, and I did some part-time work at other times, but I couldn't work a regular full-time job."

"I'm sorry to hear this." The supervisor gave him a meaningful look, "The two-year gap in your working life is indeed a big disadvantage for you, but due to your excellent performance in the written test and interview, we still decided to hire you. Mr. Green Valley, I hope you can keep up with our rhythm as soon as possible."

"I will." He nodded, "I will do my best."

Izuku Lvgu stepped out of the elevator.

Today is his first day at work, and the busy company schedule does not give a newcomer time to breathe.The new colleague welcomed him with a professional smile, and HR took him to the new station.There is a pot of small green plants on his desk, next to the plant is his nameplate, printed with the words of Izuku Midori, accompanied by a photo with a restrained expression.

"If you need any help, you can come to me at any time. The extension numbers are all in the phone book on the left side of your desk." HR said.

"Thank you." He replied politely, "Please."

He is all too aware of his weaknesses.It has been two years, and other students who graduated at the same time have more or less their own work experience. Only he, like a newcomer who just graduated, has re-entered this strange workplace.During the two years of nominal marriage, he kept running to the hospital. Especially in the first year, his mother underwent several operations in a row. From preoperative preparation to postoperative care, he did everything by himself. He probably spent more time sleeping on the accompanying bed in the ward than in his freezing apartment.

It's just a small company, but from the moment he joined the company, he really felt the impact of the two years of vacancy.He believed that the supervisor knew who he was. The middle-aged man always looked at his resume full of teasing, especially the one where he filled in his marital status.The marriage between him and Hong Jiaodong had been published in newspapers, and as long as he searched casually on the Internet, he could easily find the name and photo of Izuku Lvgu.He couldn't figure out other people's thoughts, let alone what the supervisor thought of him, so he could only pretend that he didn't know anything about it, and acted silently and obediently as an ordinary new employee.

Today's work arrangement has been sent to him by email, and he spent the whole morning busy studying. Izuku Lvgu is a little fortunate that he at least has a strong learning ability, which allows him to use the fastest time to go to work. Adapt and get started on this post yourself.It was already one o'clock in the afternoon after finishing the business at hand, and he didn't have lunch. As a newcomer with no interpersonal relationship, no colleague came to invite him to have lunch with him.When standing up from the seat, Midoriya Izuku felt a little dizzy, probably because he stared at the flashing screen for too long.He rubbed his temples and stepped outside.

The lunch break was almost over, and he hurried downstairs to get a piece of bread from the convenience store downstairs of the office building.Standing behind the shelves, he saw two people walking in from the front row of shelves. They were two new colleagues from the same office. These two new colleagues obviously didn't see him. They were chatting casually in front of him. On the opposite side of the shelf, I choose my own products.

"The second son is being used, no matter how you look at it, he shouldn't have gotten married so early."

Izuku Lvgu paused with his hand holding the bread, and through the gap in the shelf, he could see two colleagues talking and laughing softly.

"I think it's because this Green Valley was dumped." The colleague whispered, "After all, it's reduced to finding a job by myself. If it's a peaceful breakup, it wouldn't be so miserable. I think even the clothes on him does not fit."

"Andewa is really cruel. Even if they divorce, they will always carry their family's name, so they won't ignore it completely. It seems that they really fell out."

"Don't talk about it, just pretend you don't know. You see, Andewa didn't say anything. It would be embarrassing for anyone."

Izuku Midoriya put his hands on the bread and didn't move for a long time.He stood by the shelf and didn't make a sound for a long time.His colleagues never noticed him. After they finished shopping, they checked out at the counter and left naturally.The cashier gently told him the price of the bread, he paid the bill, and took the elevator up again.

The elevator went up to the first floor where he worked, and when he opened the door, he saw the colleague who was shopping in the convenience store just now.Two colleagues greeted him with smiles, and he smiled at them.Before entering the office, Midoriya Izuku went to the bathroom to wash his face, splashed cold water on his eyelids, and washed away the muddled feeling.

He looked in the mirror and saw himself in the mirror with a confused expression.Izuku Midoriya suddenly felt that the face in the mirror was strange, but he didn't know what to do.

"I forgot to return your key last time. When is it convenient for you? I'll come and give it to you."

He slowly edited the message, clicked send, and the sender was marked with Mr. Hong, and the small envelope was rotated twice, showing that the send was successful.

Izuku put down his phone, and the time on the screen showed that it was six o'clock in the morning.With his eyes open, he lay silently on the bed for a while, got up after the alarm clock on the bedside table turned one notch, washed up, and then went to the narrow kitchenette—not so much a kitchenette, but a countertop with an induction cooker .Izuku Midoriya quickly cracked an egg into the pot, then poured himself a glass of milk.

Hong Jiaodong hasn't replied to him yet, he is not sure about Hong Jiaodong's morning habits, or rather he is not sure about all of Hong Jiaodong's living habits, because they have never slept in the same room for two years.Lvgu Dejiu often cooks soup and decocts unskillfully according to the recipe early in the morning, and then rushes to the hospital with a thermos bucket, while Hong Jiaodong has more things to deal with.The time they come back is also different, sometimes in the evening, sometimes in the middle of the night, and sometimes they don't return all night.He has no right to ask about the behavior of the other party, so he can only guess what Hong Jiaodong has done through the sound of the door opening and closing.

Whether it's morning exercise, work, or something else.

Sometimes they happened to go out together, and they would have breakfast together, more like roommates than married people.Hong Jiaodong is not very good at cooking, and every attempt ended in failure, so the job of making breakfast was automatically handed over to him. Green Valley Izuku didn't have any good cooking skills, and his level was only able to cook the ingredients.The eggs he made were ugly, steamy, and placed on white porcelain plates.Hong Jiaodong always politely said thank you, and then took it, ignoring the slightly burnt egg side just right, and was used to eating a mediocre breakfast cleanly.

He was slightly dazed.All kinds of the past suddenly flooded his brain, and when he came back to his senses, the fried egg was almost half burnt, and he frantically turned off the fire and took it out.The curled egg was prickly and steaming, as if mocking his lack of seriousness.

Izuku Midoriya finished it silently, the burnt eggs didn't taste good.Before washing the dishes on the narrow counter, he checked his phone, but Hong Jiaodong still didn't reply him.

Maybe it's not up yet.he thinks.

The phone screen slowly went black, and Izuku Midoriya suddenly felt regret for no reason.What do you regret?Do you regret having spent two years together day and night under the same roof, but you still act like a stranger, knowing nothing about Hong Jiao Dong?He rubbed the screen of his mobile phone, and there were not many communication records between the number marked Hongjun and himself, and the words were very short, all of which were necessary life questions and answers, such as helping me put the bathtub water.

At [-]:[-], Izuku Midoriya tied up his sneakers and prepared to do morning exercises for half an hour before going to work.He shook his head to drive away all the thoughts in his mind. The old elevator in the bachelor apartment creaked and kept going down, and he looked blankly at the slowly shrinking numbers.

There was a jingle and the elevator doors opened.He glanced casually outside, a little surprised that there are so many people outside the glass door of the corridor today. It stands to reason that there are not many people who get up for morning exercises at this time of weekdays.He continued to walk two steps, and when he got closer to the glass door, he suddenly felt something even bigger. For example, these people were holding camera equipment for some reason, and some people were holding microphones.

He felt bad for the sixth time, and subconsciously wanted to take a few steps back, but failed. A reporter with a microphone turned his head. Their eyes collided and intersected in the air. Then he heard the reporter yelled. , all eyes were focused on him.

He stood there blankly.Watching the glass door being opened, the reporters squeezed in like a raging tide and surrounded him.The flash lights turned on, and his shocked and bewildered expression was frozen.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Green Valley?" The reporter excitedly raised the microphone to his mouth, "What do you think of the news suddenly released by Andeva this morning?"

"What... what?" He was completely dumbfounded, thinking that he had heard something wrong, so he stood there almost in a daze. "What news?"

He was unprepared, and the huge impact made him helpless for a moment.Izuku Midoriya wanted to escape subconsciously, but there was nowhere to escape. The microphones of the reporters were getting closer and closer, surrounded by noisy questions, and the voices almost drowned him.Izuku Midoriya struggled to retrieve information in the crowd.The keyword eye was like an ice pick, smashing hard on the calm ice surface, smashing his composure completely, without any leakage, and mercilessly.

"Andewa spoke out about his son's emotional problems for the first time in two years, claiming that he had never been optimistic about your marriage with Mr. Hong Jiaodong, and now he has publicly announced that his son and his partner have been at odds for many years until the relationship broke down. What do you think? yes?"

"May I ask why Mr. Lugu and Mr. Hong Jiaodong broke up? Why did they get married two years ago? Is there any hidden secret in it?"

"Mr. Lugu, is it convenient to answer, what do you think of Andewa and Mr. Hong Jiaodong? Is the relationship between you and the Hong family as rumored?"

"There are rumors that Andewa prefers Young Master Hong to marry the second lady of the Suzuki Foundation. May I ask Mr. Lu Gu's opinion on the behavior of his ex-husband who is likely to remarry at the speed of light after the divorce?"

Green Valley Izuku opened his mouth, but no sound came out.The flash light came on again, and his eyes were stung, so he subconsciously raised his hand to cover it.He was wearing a cheap T-shirt, casual sneakers on his feet, and the scene where he covered half of his face was included in the camera without a single point.Izuku tried his best to push away the crowd and walk out, the flashlight kept shining, his mind went blank, he didn't know where he was for a moment, and he didn't know when he started running until he was far away from the crowd , standing near the park gate.

The phone in his pocket was vibrating crazily, but it took him a while to react.His mind was full of chaotic snowflakes, and all his consciousness and rationality were washed away. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket dully, and the words "Boom" on it flickered.

He picked up the phone.A somewhat hurried voice rang in his ears.

"Where are you?"

Boom said.
