a protracted war

September 6, rain.

It started to rain suddenly when I just went to work in the afternoon.

The streaks of water on the glass looked like slugs had crawled over them.

I didn't bring an umbrella, and it gave me a headache when I thought about it. Although the occasional rain can cool down the hot city, a lot of troubles will follow.

If today is the weekend, this is the best rain.

Xiao Jian also looked out of the window and sighed: "This rain is not light."

I said yes."

Xiao Jian said: "I hope the rain will stop before I get off work."

Intern Xiaoli suddenly came over and said in a showy tone: "I feel like this rain will last for a long time. I'll ask my boyfriend to pick me up."

I found that Xiaojian glared at Xiaoli viciously when she didn't notice.

I guess Xiaojian cursed viciously in his heart: I wish all lovers in the world are long-lost brothers and sisters.

I thought the novel had completely healed his emotional wounds, but now it doesn't seem to be the case.

Zhou Aimei came to work today, and she brought another creature, which caused a commotion in the morning, and all the female colleagues crowded on the window sill and shouted "so cute~ so cute".

What she brought was a mouse, which was placed in a lovely sky-blue cage. The mouse had black, smooth fur and greedy eyes that were naked.

Female colleague A poked the mouse: "Ah, its fur is so slippery, please touch it~"

The rat glared at her visibly.

Female colleague B said: "Look, it's looking at you, its eyes are so cute~"

I watched around for a while and asked Zhou Aimei, "Is this your mouse?"

Zhou Aimei rolled her eyes and said, "No, this is your mouse."

Zhou Aimei added: "That's not a mouse, it's a black bear. Lu Zijie went out to shoot commercials and asked me to help him watch them for a few days."

I asked, "What about the miniature black bear that looks like a mouse?"

Zhou Aimei: "...This is a kind of hamster."

Me: "Oh, what commercial did Lu Zijie go to shoot?"

Zhou Aimei said: "I don't know the specifics, but it's definitely not a condom, nor is it any of those things you think."

I spread my hands: "I don't think about anything, I wish you happiness."

Zhou Aimei tapped my arm with the documents on the table: "Do you owe Zhang Yang?"

I quickly ran back to my seat: "I do it from the bottom of my heart."

As a result, as soon as I finished speaking, I turned my head and found that Xiao Jian was looking at me with eyes that were hard to describe in words, and I smiled at him.

Verbal comfort is very feeble, not to mention that now Zhou Aimei also has a boyfriend, which is undoubtedly worse for Xiao Jian, although I did not tell him about it.

As soon as the holidays were over, Yi Yi and I started dating online again, although it's a bit wrong to say that because we're not officially together yet, but I can't find a better way to say it, so let it be.

Yi Yi told me that he went out to negotiate with the advertiser today. A fast-moving clothing brand wanted to shoot a commercial, trying to make the 1-minute commercial look like a micro movie.

Yi Yi said: "It's a bit of a headache, I don't even know how to plan it."

I said: "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, take your time, and why don't you ask Zhou Aimei, she's an advertiser, she should be able to help."

Yi also said, "Okay."

Ask again: "Aren't you busy?"

I said, "I'm not busy. I want to grow my hair when I'm free. I'm watching the rain now."

Yi Yi said, "Is it raining in your place?"

I said yes."

Yi also said, "Our weather is cloudy."

Yi Yi said again: "Look at the sky now."

So I glanced at the sky and asked, "I saw it, and then?"

Yi also said: "Although the weather is different, we are looking at the same sky."

Me: "Oh."

According to what he said, people all over the world have the same world, the same dream, and the same sky. I really can't get his point.

Yi also asked me: "When will I send you your harmonica?"

I said, "No, I don't blow it often, just give it to me when I go back this weekend."

I said, "If my mouth is itchy and I really want to blow it up, I can just go to the side of the road and buy one. It only costs 30 yuan."

Yi also said: "It's different, the first one is always special."

"I still have my first harmonica. Although the reeds of that harmonica are useless, I just don't want to throw it away."

I said, "I understand how you feel. Is your harmonica sitting on the cabinet next to the TV?"

Yi Yi: "Well, the black one."

The rain didn't stop before I got off work. I took a few A4 papers from the table and covered my head with some ghostly thing printed on them, and ran to the side of the car, unlocked, opened the door, clutched, put in gear, all in one go.

But in the end, before the car started, two people got up in the back seat.

Zhou Aimei sat behind me, with Xiaojian beside me.

Zhou Aimei has money but doesn't know why she hasn't bought a car; Xiao Jian has no money and can't afford a car.

When the car started, I saw Xiaoli smiling and wearing a raincoat on a cool motorcycle at the entrance of the company, and then the motorcycle drove past me at a high speed, creating a series of cool and sharp water splashes.

Not to mention, it's quite romantic.

I glanced at Zhou Aimei and Xiaojian from the rearview mirror. Zhou Aimei was calm and composed, but Xiaojian was restless.

I turned on the music, and it happened to be a very sad tune, Irish Thrush, accompanied by bursts of rain outside the window, and the sadness flowed like a river.

I quickly changed the song.

Accompanied by the beautiful music, the three of us had nothing to say all the way, and I sent them home one by one.

The lingering rain fell until I was about to fall asleep, and by that time Yi Yi and I had already said good night to each other.

I also had him blow "The Irish Thrush" for me, and he wasn't at all sad.
