Sir, what if it's too cold?

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, the voice-activated lights in the corridor turned on one by one, Xu Muran held a sample magazine he just received in his arms, and the satisfaction in his heart was almost overflowing.

She followed Lao Zhang to the printing factory in the afternoon, nominally to check the progress, but actually to release it.After all, they are all owned by their own group. As long as the listing is not delayed, everyone will turn a blind eye to each other.

Before leaving, the team leader on duty found them in the conference room, handed them a stack of sample magazines, and said: "Today, the batch of new machines just arrived, so I printed some sample magazines on a single line, and I took them back and sent them to everyone to see." Bar."

Lao Zhang took the cigarette away from his mouth: "Ah, good."

Xu Muran hurried forward and took the sample magazine into his arms.The printed matter that just came out of the assembly line even had a pungent ink smell, but she didn't seem to notice it, and tried again and again to hold the smooth paper surface on her fingertips.

This feeling is very strange, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first time in her life for more than 20 years.

She watched with her own eyes the thoughts in her head turned into typefaces through bearings, screens and ink tablets, and flowed out like a stream; the pleasure she got was no less than that of a mother who finally saw the joy of his youngest son.

Seeing her appearance, the squad leader of the printing factory couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and said to Lao Zhang beside him, "Are you new?"

Lao Zhang was silent for a while: "Yes, newcomer."

He suddenly remembered himself more than 20 years ago.

The expression on his face at that time was exactly the same as that of Xu Muran in front of him now.

After returning to the unit, Xu Muran went to the bathroom first, and when she got to the office, she wanted to cry instantly—all the samples were divided up.

All of them were sorted out without leaving any, not even a scrap of paper was left for her.

Xu Muran sat back in his seat in frustration, and began typing on the keyboard without saying a word.

She wants one too...

After a while, Cheng Xuewei came back from the outside with two sample magazines in her arms: "Who is this, put the newly printed trial draft in the tea room?"

Xu Muran immediately jumped up: "Hey, give me a copy!"

"Here," Cheng Xuewei walked to her desk and sat down, stretched her arms and handed her a copy: "Look."

Xu Muran respectfully picked up the magazine and put it on his desk, bowed his head and clapped his hands together: "Great kindness and great virtue cannot be repaid forever, A/Mi/Tuo/Buddha, you are so kind."

Cheng Xuewei looked up at her with a puzzled expression on her face: "Why are you thanking me so much, did you take the wrong medicine?"

Xu Muran smiled, sat down without saying a word.

Soon, she'll be working through a lot of drafts, touching a lot of proofs, which will very quickly become mundane, even a little boring.

However, after time has passed, some pictures will not only not fade, but will become more and more new for a long time. When certain keywords are mentioned inadvertently, they will be the first to be remembered: like dreams, enthusiasm, longing, And love.

Even if years, ten years, or even decades have passed, the moment she thinks about it, she will still be the girl in her memory who would blush with excitement when she saw the sample magazine.

Xu Muran entered the elevator, and began to browse Weibo with his head down.She got off work a bit late today, her colleagues had almost left, and only a few offices on the entire floor were still lit.

After stepping out of the unit gate, she stood in place and looked around, but suddenly wanted to drink milk tea.She searched for the addresses of milk tea shops near her, picked out what she wanted to drink, and started walking there.

On the way to the milk tea shop, Xu Muran faintly felt that something was wrong, as if someone had been following her not far or near, but when she suddenly turned her head to look around, there was nothing, only pedestrians with hurried expressions in twos and threes, one by one. Walked quickly without saying a word.

She came back to her senses and shook her head helplessly: probably this is the so-called aftereffect of a hangover, suspicious.

Xu Muran, who came out of the store, could be said to have returned with a full load.I have a cup in my hand and another cup in my packing bag, which are for drinking on the road and when I get home to watch dramas.

The smooth taste of barley, the rustling taro, and the mellow milk, the combination of the three is the signature drink of this restaurant, barley and purple taro milk.To be able to drink such a delicacy after the "devastatment" of a day's work makes me want to cry with happiness.

At this time, the sky was almost dark, and there was only a shaky setting sun falling on the horizon, and she shivered for no reason.

In the next second, two people suddenly jumped out of the darkness, and stood in front of her with very narrow eyes.The man in the lead was not too tall, and smiled at Xu Muran bluntly: "Girl, are you alone?"

Xu Muran was stunned.What do they want?Robbery?Robbery?even……

She didn't dare to think any further, she glanced at the other party very perfunctorily, then turned sideways, trying to pass through the gap between them.

Her intentions were clearly figured out by the other party, and the man easily blocked the route she might choose, stood in front of her, and said glibly: "Beauty, have we met somewhere?"

If a move fails but is not stopped, it can be concluded that the other party's intentions are not pure.

There were not many pedestrians on the road, and the positions of the three of them were quite coincidental. Anyone who saw them would think that these three people knew each other and were just discussing things together.Xu Muran looked up at the tall man standing behind him, knowing that he would not be able to run away for a while, so he simply changed his position and chatted with him: "Really, where did you meet him?"

"It's downstairs in the media building, don't you remember?"

Hearing this, her heartbeat seemed to stop for an instant.

Ah, it turned out to be these people.

She didn't even have time to think, so she opened her mouth and said, "I'm not in charge of Times Jinwan's manuscript, and I don't know anything about that community!"

Wang Sanqun looked at the frightened little girl in front of him, and suddenly there was a pleasure in his mind, as if the strong were overpowering the weak. He approached her very maliciously, and deliberately pulled out a polite word: "Ah, it's over long ago. I'm here to see you today. It's been a while, don't you come here all right?"

Ever since he was slapped by Zhou Qing that day and humiliated in front of everyone, his breath has been hanging in his throat—after all, he is a person who has seen the world in a house, why is he in the gutter of this little white face Capsized?

From that day on, Wang Sanqun called his master to walk around the entrance of the newspaper building every night to see if he could catch Zhou Qing or Xu Muran. After all, as a jobless vagrant, what he lacked most was time.

Although the two of them wore masks that night to cover their faces, there were still some other signs that could not be changed, at least for a while, such as height, hair color, style of dress, and off-duty time.

What's more, by coincidence, the bag that Xu Muran was carrying today was exactly the same bag as that day.

Came to find her?What was she to do with these people?

Xu Muran couldn't figure out the meaning of the other party's words, so he asked subconsciously, "Looking for me?"

"Yeah, I'm looking for you, and your friend who was looking for you that day. I haven't seen a girl as beautiful as you two for a long time. When will you have time to come out and play together?"

——Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing actually got involved with this kind of person because of himself.

The evening wind blew through the trees along the street, making soft noises.

Thousands of complicated emotions suddenly came to mind, and the many changes made her dizzy for a while.Xu Muran thought dully, she really got Zhou Qing involved.

Those thoughts that she deliberately hid and dared not face up to, grew out of the wet grass like mushrooms after the rain.

During this emotional relationship, she has always stood behind Zhou Qing.

From the first day I met Zhou Qing to send her home, to the biscuits Zhou Qing gave her, to Zhou Qing appearing in the corridor of the media building like a heavenly soldier to protect her, to Zhou Qing helping herself from being hurt by the court. Even when Zhou Qing picked him up from the bar last night, he seemed to be the one who was always protected and favored.

Xu Muran's eyes fell to the ground beside her feet, what can she do for Zhou Qing?

What she can do for Zhou Qing is probably to let the other party not know about it.

She was so beautiful that she shouldn't be associated with these dirty things.

"I'm sorry, we don't have time, and we don't want to have anything to do with you." As soon as the words came out, even she herself was a little surprised by the coldness in her tone, "Well water does not violate river water, please hold your hand high and let us go, thank you. "

Wang Sanqun didn't expect the little girl to be so stubborn, so he smiled angrily: "I warned you not to toast and not to eat fine wine, can you beat me in terms of means? I suggest you call her quickly, otherwise... He looked at the man behind him, and then licked his lips obscenely at Xu Muran: "Today, I'll start with you."

While the other party was talking, Xu Muran had already quietly put his hand into his pocket, and entered the three numbers 1/1/0 based on his feeling, not sure if it was right or not.

As soon as she gritted her teeth, if she didn't succeed, she would succeed.Just before she was about to press the dial, suddenly, she heard a male voice calling her indistinctly: "Xu Muran?"

As soon as the voice came, the three of them were all taken aback, and they all looked in the direction of the voice.

Xu Muran looked up, it wasn't Zheng Weixing, who else could it be?

Zheng Weixing soon came to her, frowned and looked at her: "What are you doing here?"

Before she could answer, he turned around and glanced at the two people next to him, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oh my god, brother Sicheng, why did I meet you here!"

The tall man behind Wang Sanqun hesitated for a moment, and called out tentatively: "Brother Xing?"

The two of them agreed on the secret sign, and hugged each other excitedly: "It's really you! I haven't seen you for several years..." Xu Muran and Wang Sanqun were left staring at each other: What's the situation?

A few minutes later, the two finally finished talking about the past, Zheng Weixing hooked the man's shoulder, and glanced at Xu Muran intentionally or unintentionally: "Old Cheng, take a look, this girl is my colleague, you just betray me To save face, adults don't remember villains, so let her go? I..."

"How can this be done!" Wang Sanqun immediately jumped out from the side, blushing and shouting thickly: "I have agreed before, follow me to block people, don't take my good cigarettes and do nothing!"

"I thought it was wrong for you to come here specially to block a girl. If you can't get a girl, you can't get a girl. What's the matter with begging for nothing? And, yes," the man said, "it's not a problem. Reached?"

Wang Sanqun: ...

"Oh, that's really interesting." Zheng Weixing looked at Wang Sanqun, laughed undisguisedly, then turned his head and said to the man: "A few days ago, Director Gao of our district police/exit/station said he wanted to invite me to dinner. , introduce some connections, how about I call you together when the time comes?"

As soon as Wang Sanqun heard the three words "police/exit/station", Wang Sanqun immediately panicked, snorted angrily, turned around and wanted to run away, but Xu Muran quickly grabbed the hem of his clothes, and she whispered: "Don't come to us again! Trouble with two. Plus..."

She hesitated for a moment and asked, "What do you want most?"

Maybe it was because the time, place, and characters were too weird when she asked this question, and all three of them looked at her.

Wang Sanqun laughed incredulously: "Us? What do we want? You delicate young masters and misses, you still care about what we want..."

He smiled and laughed, but his voice gradually dropped. After a pause for a few seconds, he said hoarsely: "We little people only want to have food and a bed to sleep in. As for other things, we dare not even think about it."

A bleak crescent moon climbed into the sky at some point, everyone was bathed in the same moonlight, but they had very different thoughts in their hearts.

Xu Muran let go, and Wang Sanqun ran away without even looking back.

Zheng Weixing exchanged contact information with others, and after saying goodbye, he walked to Xu Muran's side and said with a smile, "What a coincidence today."

Xu Muran smiled: "Yeah, you...know that person?"

Zheng Weixing said: "My junior high school classmate used to hang out and fight all day long. Later, my family paid for me to be sent to high school. He only went to a technical school. It seems that he didn't even finish the technical school."

He asked Xu Muran again: "Why did you ask such a strange question just now?"

Xu Muran didn't answer him, his eyes fell on the packing bag in his hand: "Why, are you going to eat these at night?"

Zheng Weixing also looked at the wontons he was carrying, and replied as usual: "Working overtime, I always go here to buy dinner, I'm used to it."

Xu Muran pursed his lips, and handed him the unopened milk tea in his hand: "Thank you very much."

"Hey," Zheng Weixing took it, raising his eyebrows in surprise, "There are gifts, thank you, ah."

She didn't leave in a hurry, and asked him, "How long do you usually work overtime?"

Zheng Weixing thought for a while, "It's not too late, it's not too late. What, you changed your mind, you want to come to our group?"

"No. I'll just ask casually," Xu Muran smiled, "Then I'll go first, so I won't delay your overtime work, today's matter," she paused, and repeated sincerely: "Thank you very much .”
