Life is more than just living

Wang Xue wiped her eyes and asked Qi Le if something was wrong. Qi Le stood next to her desk and said: "We need to rearrange the shifts. A shopping mall in Beicheng will send security guards from the beginning of next month. There will be two people in the day shift and night shift. Let's see how to sort it out scientifically. You can study it slowly first. Before the end of the month Let me take a look at it. Gao Shan and I discussed it, mainly with the people from Beicheng, so that they can work closer to each other. What do you think is a suitable arrangement? I have already asked for opinions, and these people have no objections. , you can try it out first, if it doesn’t work, adjust it later.” Wang Xue quickly agreed, then took out the employee roster and thought carefully about how to arrange the shifts appropriately.

On this day, Chen Xu was chatting happily with some good friends in the flower shop. Suddenly she received a call. She looked at the name shining on the phone and was stunned for a long time. Then she walked aside and picked up, "Zihan !" There was no answer from the other party. Chen Xu took the phone from her ear to her eyes and looked at it. She was still on the call. There had been no sound for a long time. She thought the other party had hung up! So she put the phone to her ear again and waited quietly. After a long while, Lin Zihan finally spoke, "Chen Xu, I'm sorry! Last year at Brother Jingsheng's house, my attitude towards you was too unfriendly. I was narrow-minded. I'm so sorry! I apologize to you, no matter whether you are willing to forgive me now or not !”

Chen Xu walked further away and said: "Your attitude at that time made me sad, but I know you must like my brother very much to act like that. Speaking of which, I am very conflicted. On the one hand, I am very happy that you like my brother so much. Because I am jealous beyond recognition; on the other hand, I am also sad because you made me see clearly: my existence has an impact on brother. You may think I am selfish, but I am really greedy for what that family brings. My warmth.”

Lin Zihan was silent for a few more seconds before saying: "Chen Xu, although it's only been a few months, a lot of things have happened to me. In fact, I should have called you a long time ago, but I couldn't muster the courage. I can't cheat. You can't deceive yourself. I can only make this call when I feel really relieved. I don't want to give up on Brother Jingsheng, and I want to try again. I think about it, if I treat you as my good friend or Would it be better if I treated you as Brother Jingsheng’s biological sister?”

Chen Xu smiled, "We have been roommates in school for four years and have never become friends. We are not the same people. Don't force yourself to be friends with me. As long as you don't reject me and don't hate me, that's fine."

Lin Zihan suddenly smiled, "Chen Xu, you are a good person. In fact, I have always admired you. However, I have encountered a problem here and I can't leave for the time being. I just want to tell you that I will continue to chase Jing. It’s my brother’s birth.”

Chen Xu paused for a long time and suddenly said: "Zihan, if you really like my brother, I will be very happy. Because you two are such good people, but if you are just unwilling, I beg you Give up and don’t hurt my brother.”

Lin Zihan snorted over there, "Chen Xu, you are really not my friend, how do you think of me like this? I won't do anything just to be unwilling! Human feelings are sometimes very strange. Over the years, I I always had him in my heart, not as a man, but as a brother when I was a child; but one year in England, I missed him crazily, and I thought I might have fallen in love with him. So I ran to see him during the National Day holiday, and when he was for When you forced me to leave, you didn't know how sad I was! You may have some idea of ​​who I am. I am not a beggar, but I understand my own feelings and will move forward courageously. I think There was indeed a problem with my attitude before. I shouldn't reject you. If you two are in love, I won't have anything to do with you. Since you two are determined to be brother and sister, why should I be so jealous? ?Am I being ridiculous? If I had gotten along well with you at that time, maybe I would have made progress now!"

Chen Xu didn't know what to say for a moment. Lin Zihan continued: "Chen Xu, actually I should be grateful to you. I heard Liu Jingsheng's sister talk about Brother Jingsheng's condition before. She said that your parents said that it was only after you appeared that Brother Jingsheng returned to normal. Thank you !Chen Xu, my gratitude is hard to express in words, saying thank you in vain is too pale."

Only then did Chen Xu speak: "Zihan, thank you for liking my brother. Although others say he has a disease, I don't agree. I think everyone has problems of this kind and that. See a psychiatrist. I would give this emotion a disease name. If I didn’t see a doctor, it might be a personality problem. After I was kidnapped, I was very emotionally unstable and would even lose control and collapse in certain scenes. My parents were scared at the time and still I thought about asking me to see a psychiatrist. But after I returned to Longcheng, I gradually forgot about it and didn’t feel scared anymore. I felt that there was no problem. However, my brother’s previous situation was a bit special. What do you think? It doesn’t matter, you don’t care, do you?”

Lin Zihan resolutely said: "Of course I don't care! You are right, each of us has psychological problems of one kind or another. When we were together last year, I had a lot of emotional problems. If it was a disease, I would admit it. . Chen Xu, I sincerely apologize to you, not just because I want to continue to pursue Brother Jingsheng. I had many slanderous words for you at the time, and I feel really ashamed when I think about it now."

Chen Xu smiled, "It doesn't matter. The two of us don't have to be like this. We are still classmates for four years! But have you reconnected with my brother? My brother may be a little slower. If it's not what you expected, Same, don’t be discouraged.”

Lin Zihan suddenly lowered his voice and said, "It may take some time before I can call Brother Jingsheng. I'm being looked at very strictly. My mother won't let me call Brother Jingsheng."

Chen Xu was a little puzzled, "I heard what dad said. He and your dad are friends! Not only are the two families old friends, but they are also close friends. Why can't it be the same?" Lin Zihan whispered: "I, I only follow Don't be angry when you say this. My mother heard about Brother Jingsheng's illness before, so she didn't agree with the two of us. My mother didn't understand this either, so she simply thought it was depression, and Progression boils down to psychosis.”

Chen Xu covered his face and eyes. Lin Zihan said to Chen Xu again: "Chen Xu, can you say a good word to Brother Jingsheng for me? I will contact him when I have time to go see him. But I can't leave now. My mother has taken away my ID card and passport." I stopped using my bank card and asked people to keep an eye on me."

The two were chatting, and Chen Xu suddenly heard Lin Zihan say over there: "Hey, come here. I'm on the phone, I'm talking to my classmate." While they were talking, another stranger came on the phone. A female voice asked: Who are you? Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and said quickly: Hello, I am Zihan's college classmate and roommate. Chen Xu wasn't sure if this was Lin Zihan's mother, so he didn't dare to call her. The phone finally returned to Lin Zihan's hand, and the two chatted for a few more irrelevant words before hanging up.

Chen Xu sighed. Lin Zihan was actually a pretty good person, but her family's oppositional attitude would be an insult to her brother if it were put on the table.
