see you sooner or later

Gao Ge was lying on the coffee table, watching a pair of small fish poke the fish tank with their small mouths from time to time, and a few small fish fins that seemed to be transparent were shaking in the water. Do you still remember each other when passing by?Thinking of this, Gao Ge trembled inexplicably.

When He Ming came home, he saw Gao Ge, who was sitting on the ground with his back to him, quietly walked over, and playfully threw a small object into the fish tank, and the water in the fish tank rippled and pushed away layer by layer, as if pushing away. In Gao Ge's eyes, a tear fell from the corner of Gao Ge's eyes.

"What's the matter? How do you look like Lin Daiyu?" He Ming patted Gao Ge's head, worried but asked jokingly, and sat on the ground by the sofa.

"I don't like it, and there is no movement when I come back." Gao Ge pretended not to care and wiped his eyes, with a slightly reproachful tone, and got into He Ming's arms.

"I don't know how you developed the habit of sitting on the floor, but it has affected me, so that I don't want to sit on the sofa anymore." He Ming said, seeing the two plane tickets lying on the coffee table. "Reluctant to leave?"

"No."

"Back to the country, we have important things to do."

The big thing He Ming was talking about was getting married.Having been in love for almost two years, He Ming proposed to Gao Ge a few days ago, hoping to get married on the second anniversary of their relationship.Gao Ge agreed.

return home...

Coincidentally, on the same day six years ago, Gao Ge flew from Harbin to London to study for a Ph.D.Today, six years later, I flew back to Harbin from London.The city has changed so much in the past six years that it seems to have experienced another baptism of technological revolution.

The cool breeze of Harbin mixed with bursts of unknown fragrance teased Gao Ge's sense of smell.It's only been six years, how does it feel like six centuries of parting.The already dusty memory still shows some signs of cracking in the familiar land.Maybe the time is not long enough, otherwise how could there be a faint heartache when stepping on this land.

After returning home, parents received He Ming warmly, making He Ming look like their son.After leaving for so long, my parents are much older.Dad doesn't think of himself as a young man in his 20s like he did six years ago, and the leather shoes he has loved for half his life have been replaced by sneakers; Mom no longer asks Gao Ge what clothes are new now.Gao Ge was actually very sad.Well now, back to China and back to Harbin, everything should be comfortable.

After returning to China, at Gao Ge's request, there was no wedding ceremony, and the parents of both parties collected the share money in the form of thanks, which freed up a lot of honeymoon time for Gao Ge and He Ming.He Ming likes Gao Ge's straightforwardness and seriousness.Gao Ge likes He Ming's vigor and rigor.In the eyes of classmates, they are considered a match made in heaven.Gao Ge is quite satisfied with the man he picked, and the three views are consistent, and He Ming can also satisfy Gao Ge's occasional literary and petty bourgeois sentiment.People, you have to give yourself an account of your life.

Returning to work, Gao Ge and He Ming work in two different universities, not far from each other.On the weekend, Gao Ge made an appointment with his best friend Ye Ying and Xiao Nan, but Xiao Nan was temporarily unable to attend the appointment due to work.Ye Ying chose a location very close to H University, the high pigeon unit.Although six years have passed, H University seems to be the same as before, with little change.

Ye Ying still brings Gao Ge to steam. She is obsessed with steaming, and it hasn't changed.Gao Ge shared her honeymoon trip with Ye Ying, her face was full of tenderness, and she didn't change her exuberant smile when she spoke, she was a thousand miles away from the one on the podium.Seeing Gao Ge constantly explaining the stories behind each photo, Ye Ying sincerely sighed: "You are in such a good condition now, the foreign geomantic omen is quite supportive."

"It's okay, it's okay, after all, the environment is new, so the state of mind is different..." Gao Ge drank his saliva and said, "One day I will bring your man to visit my house, and now I can cook easily. "

"You used to be the same." Ye Ying felt Gao Ge's body tremble slightly when she heard the word "before".Ye Ying has been very vague about some things, and all the doubts in her heart are exposed in her eyes.

The steam room was too hot, so Gao Ge and Ye Ying went to the rest hall, found a slightly remote corner and sat down.Gao Ge felt that Ye Ying hesitated to speak a few times, and she knew Ye Ying's doubts, so she smiled and said, "You can ask whatever you want."

"Well, why did you leave so suddenly at the beginning? What happened?" Ye Ying asked after hesitating for a while.

Gao Ge pursed her lips and said, "I'm broken in love." Saying that, she smiled embarrassedly.

"Because of Yan Lili?"

Gao Ge nodded.

"Don't talk, don't talk, it's all over."

"It's okay, I'm done. I really want to tell you. In fact, many things happened, and you don't know."

"I really don't know much."

"Okay, I'll do it all."

Gao Ge smiled, and looked at other places as if reminiscing, his eyes gradually became one.Her lips moved and she began to tell her story.

In March of that year, most areas in the north were still filled with the smell of winter, and of course the smell of smog.

"Stay behind" Ye Ying from Harbin chatting on the phone with Gao Ge from Beidiao.Just after the new year, I have to start stressful work again, so I really need to relax a bit.Gao Ge said that she had some news to tell Ye Ying that she didn't know whether it was good or bad—she was going to be transferred back to Harbin in a while, and she was working as the assistant to the general manager in the newly established office.Ye Ying said that it was a good thing in her opinion, but Gao Ge nodded without saying a word on the other end of the phone.

Later, Ye Ying and Gao Ge chatted and talked about the topic of boyfriend. Gao Ge said that she could not enjoy the beauty of love, and Ye Ying joked:

"I'm sorry for you for your two love affairs that ended without a disease."

"Why is there no feeling of being in love!" Gao Ge said innocently.

"Actually, that means you still haven't fallen in love. You broke up when you said so freely, and a discerning person can tell at a glance that you don't like each other at all."

……

It's not that I haven't loved, it's just that there is no result.

People who have always treated their emotions freely, there must be hidden feelings behind them that cannot be free and easy.

Gao Ge regretted discussing this topic with Ye Ying. Ye Ying was right, she had never been in a state of being in love.Ye Ying is the only good friend who knows Gao Ge's relationship experience.To the bystanders, she might know herself better than herself.

There is someone in my heart, and my friend said that it was because this person delayed my yearning for other relationships.A friend asked me why I couldn't let go, and I said that I thought that person deserved better treatment, but my friend told me that it was me who deserved better treatment.Your friend said that that person has delayed your time for a long time, and it is not worth your time. He is right, but how do you let it go?

"Have you received it?" Just as she put down her phone, she received another WeChat message from Ye Ying.

"what?"

"In the group of our high school classmates, the squad leader said that there is a party, are you going?"

"Why didn't I see this news? Are you going? If you go, I will go. Anyway, I will be with you when I go."

"I think so too. If you go, I'll go. If you don't go, I'll go."

"If you don't go, I must be embarrassed. Ah, I said why I didn't know about this, and I blocked the group."

"Haha, actually me too."

It's too fast. In a blink of an eye, it will be ten years after graduating from high school. Fortunately, everyone is still young on the way to the third year.

At the class reunion, Gao Ge felt that it would definitely be embarrassing. After ten years of being strangers to each other, many classmates’ names were no longer remembered. .How many people will nod and smile pretending to be familiar when you see each other?Memory will always erase those irrelevant people, emptying the memory occupied by them, so that new things can be stored in life.

Looking back on high school life, Gao Ge has a different kind of bitterness.So much so that in the years after graduating from high school, even if I occasionally walked through the streets adjacent to the school, I would feel inexplicable tension and fear in my heart.

The imprisoned soul was completely released with the sound of the bell for the final subject of the college entrance examination.My biggest wish after returning to school is to donate all paper products such as books and exercises to the waste collection station.In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that those books can't sell much at all, but they still enjoy it.Until now, Gao Ge still remembers the turbulent scene at that time, and the soreness in his arms caused by carrying bundles of books.

Now, ten years after graduating from high school, Gao Ge has not only finished college, but also finished graduate school.Now I have a very decent and well-paid job.After graduating from a master's degree in translation, she majored in English and worked in a foreign company in Beijing with her good strength and dedication to learning.Although there are bumps in the career, but in the past three years, there has been steady growth.This year the head office set up an office in Harbin. Thanks to the familiarity with Harbin, the unit decided to transfer Gao Ge to the office to assist in the work.

It was a day just after the Chinese New Year. After returning to Beijing from Harbin, Gao Ge was called to the office by the leader.

"Leader, happy new year, you are looking for me." Gao Ge stood cautiously at the leader's desk, waiting for the leader's instructions.

A lady in a white suit looked up at Gao Ge with a smile on her lips.Mr. Liao's capable and exquisite makeup and meticulous hairstyle made Gao Ge deeply feel the new atmosphere of the New Year. Mr. Liao, who is known as the "leftover fighter", changed to a new armor this year.

"Here we come." The leader smiled solemnly, closed the document he was reading, and then took out another document, and pushed the document in front of Gao Ge without blinking or giving Gao Ge a chance Said: "The company has a decision that I want to convey to you. The newly established office in Harbin needs manpower, and the person in charge of the work there is Mr. Zhang, who was appointed from the Shanghai branch, but he is too unfamiliar with the overall situation in Harbin. You The geographical advantage is obvious and the business ability is outstanding, the company decided to transfer you there, the position is the general assistant of the office, you are very familiar with the specific work process, can you accept it?"

The leader solemnly announced the decision of the head office, with concise and cadenced words.Gao Ge also couldn't help but become solemn, just like a soldier accepting a mission from the army, with firm eyes and upright demeanor.

This can be regarded as a promotion and salary increase, but it may be because it was too unexpected, Gao Ge did not appear very happy.The leader looked at Gao Ge with a strange expression and kept silent, thinking that she was reluctant, so he asked, "Is there any problem? The preliminary work over there has almost been done..."

"No, no." Gao Ge immediately bowed to the leader and said something to thank the leader for his appreciation and the company's promotion.

"Actually, I am relieved and reluctant to transfer you there." Mr. Liao's voice was much gentler.This is what Mr. Liao usually looks like, Gao Ge thought.

"I'm worth your words. When shall I leave?"

"Arrive on April [-]th. From the [-]st to the [-]rd is the rest time given by the company."

"Okay, thank you leader." Gao Ge nodded.

"There is a long way to go, waiting for you to make good grades! Well done, promotion is just around the corner!"

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Gao Ge said confidently.

When he turned to leave, the leader suddenly stopped Gao Ge and asked with concern:

"Xiao Gao, uh... are you still alone?" Gao Ge couldn't help being surprised by the soft tone of the leader.

"Ah, yes." A trace of embarrassment crossed Gao Ge's face.

"It's nothing, nothing, actually, I want to tell you, I just think Xiao Lin from the planning department is a pretty good boy, with integrity and strong professional ability, how about I transfer him to you too? Or you..."

"Ah...Leader, I'm really sorry to trouble you, thank you, but I want to work hard now."

"Stupid child, starting a family is not contradictory to starting a business. Having a family is even more conducive to starting a business. To tell you the truth, the company actually hopes that employees have families, which is conducive to the long-term development of the company. You must know that many units Add this to the recruitment requirements, especially for female employees with development potential like you."

Gao Ge pursed her lips and nodded, nodding in agreement with the leader's words.

"I can see that you think it's unfair. Don't have this kind of thinking. This is the overall development trend. Different from men, women will inevitably have more requirements. If men and women can achieve true equality, why are there gender differences? ?Besides, as a woman, success at work does not prove that she is really successful, but emotional blankness often becomes a 'failure in life'. For women, family is more important than career. I think you are a good boy, you The development of our company will not be bad, but if you want to continue to rise, you must either have a stable family or give up your marriage. I chose the latter. I don’t want to see you in the future like me now. Alone. I’m someone who has experienced it! Don’t pursue love too much. True love will disappear in a blink of an eye. Most people get together because they are suitable, and suitableness is the standard of marriage.”

Gao Ge was thinking, how did you conclude that I will be alone in the future?You and I are more than one round of age apart.But the leader's later words became more and more distracting, and Gao Ge felt a sense of intimacy in a trance, as if the person opposite was not someone else, but her own sister.Gao Ge is an only child with an average family background.She has been very independent since she was a child, and she doesn't want to talk too much about her family situation to others. Fortunately, she made a few good friends in high school and college, and she will not regret it in this life.

Looking back at President Liao, this gorgeous and exquisite makeup is actually not only used to match her status as a strong woman, but also a means to cover up her helplessness in life.Under the strong appearance, this woman is so fragile.

Are men and women really not equal at work?Is marriage really just because it fits?Gao Ge remembered that a classmate once introduced a boy to him.The boy was very straightforward. He reported his income, family status, pension issues and directly told Gao Ge to look at the recruitment information at the boy's home.At that time, Gao Ge was young, and always felt that this boy had never been in a relationship.Now that I think about it, maybe it's because I have talked too much about love, and maybe I can see it through.

The leader talked earnestly with Gao Ge on this topic, and at the end of the talk, he even shed a few tears.Gao Ge was a little at a loss, and the leader smiled and said, "I'm scared. It's okay. I have a magic weapon. As soon as I use it, my fighting spirit will be high in an instant." Then, he took out the powder from his bag and touched up his makeup.Uncompromising, both of them laughed.

This is how Gao Ge was miraculously transferred from the capital Beijing to the provincial capital Harbin.
