The lightness of the world of mortals

A beam of sunlight came in from the skylight and shone on the log floor. Mingyu sat on a light green cushion, his hair tied into a ponytail behind his neck.

She felt the warmth of the sun through her closed eyelids, "Mei, I really, have thought about becoming a nun. For a while, I saw a nun with a pulley bag every day after get off work. I asked her."

"and then?"

"I gave up. I talked to her and found that she was not going to lead me to a cleaner world. She was simple but vulgar."

"Vulgar?"

"Vulgar, her world is full of church affairs. Compared with hers, my world is both dirty and not vulgar."

The room became quiet, Mingyu opened his eyes, and looked up at the sky outside the skylight, "Mei, your working environment is very good, and the things you come into contact with every day are also very good, but from my eyes, you are also very beautiful." Vulgar."

Mei Wen smiled warmly, "Tell me."

"You treat it like a job, and it becomes vulgar."

"Is it the same with nuns?"

"The nun has a different vulgarity than you. She has actually seen too little scenery. I can see through her when I talk to her, but she doesn't understand me. Her world is too small. The practice I understand is in the After seeing the scenery of the world and simplifying the practice, I realized that it does not require you to join any group or form. Both the group and the form will make this matter vulgar. You just hide in the city alone and practice quietly. That's it."

"So you feel like you're practicing?"

Ming Yu shook his head, tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, "The world of mortals is so heavy, it weighs on me, and I forget it as I walk."

"Shouldn't dust be light?"

"But it's the world of mortals." Ming Yu closed his eyes again, "Actually, I know that I've never been better. I know that I deserve it. I know that one day I will give in again."

"You used three 'I know', so sure."

"Does that sound pompous?"

"I'm even more curious about why you are so sure."

"Precisely because of lack of self-confidence."

It has been two days, and Mingyu's phone is always turned off. Jiang Ruojing has already checked whether the flight has crashed. For a moment, she thought, if, just if, she had to choose between losing Mingyu and losing Mingyu forever, she would rather be former.

She can't find her.

Chen Xilin clicked on a window on the third monitor in front of him and zoomed in. On the screen was Jiang Ruojing who was in a daze. She had been like this for two days.

Chen Xilin dialed an inside line, "Jessica, come to my office."

Knocking on the door and coming in, Jiang Ruojing's eyes were full of tiredness, "Mr. Chen..."

"do you feel better?"

"Well...the fever is gone, thank you Mr. Chen, that...clothes..."

Chen Xilin thought for a while, then came to his senses, "Oh," he wanted to say that he didn't have to pay it back, but felt that it sounded like he disliked the other party, "No rush. Is everything going well in terms of work?"

For a moment, Jiang Ruojing couldn't remember whether the work was going well, "Hmm, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...it's all fine..."

Chen Xilin looked at her. He called Ming Yue twice in the past two days, but he couldn't find her. Looking at Jiang Ruojing's current state, it might also be related to this matter.

"Mr. Chen... Do you have any news about Yue?"

Chen Xilin paused. It turned out that the two of them had also lost contact. "I called her, but I couldn't reach her. Why? You can't find her either?"

Jiang Ruojing shook his head, not knowing whether it was disappointment or comfort.

Chen Xilin stood up, "Does Kent know?"

"He only said that he returned to the United States suddenly in the morning two days ago... This morning I asked him to ask the people in the FATES headquarters in C City, and said that she hadn't gone to work..."

"Could it be... something happened at home? Does she have any family in America?"

"No...More than she is alone...Mr. Chen, I'm so worried. The night before she left...I had a fight with her, I..."

"The night you went to my house?"

"Yes..." Jiang Ruojing didn't dare to continue. That night when Chen Xilin sent Mingyu back to the hotel, she was stuck in front of the car. If he continued, Chen Xilin might guess that the quarrel had something to do with her.

Chen Xilin walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, "Then based on what you know about her, will she be angry about this?"

"No...it's not anger...she won't be angry with me, I'm just afraid that something will happen to her..."

Chen Xilin turned around in astonishment, "Do you know the flight number?"

"I checked and even called all the airlines flying to City C the day before yesterday, and no one had an accident..."

"Then you are worried...?"

"I'm afraid that her old illness will relapse...I remember...she mentioned to me that in the past few years...she has seen a psychiatrist..."

Chen Xilin squinted, she didn't understand why Jiang Ruojing said this to herself.

Jiang Ruojing was stunned, standing in front of him was his love rival, or imaginary rival, what was he doing?Confid her heart like a best friend?Why did you tell Chen Xilin without reservation?Probably because no one else in this world knows about his relationship with Mingyue, and no one can allow himself to express his worries about Mingyue without reservation.

"What did you do to her that night?" There was a trace of questioning in Chen Xilin's voice that was about to hatch.

This questioning seed annoyed Jiang Ruojing, she woke up suddenly, Mingyu belonged to her, Chen Xilin had no right to question.

"It's nothing, bickering, she's angry."

"This makes you suspect that her old illness has relapsed?" The seeds continued to hatch.

"...Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I'm speechless. This is Yue's privacy."

Chen Xilin crossed his arms, "The person you should say sorry to is Ming Yue."

Jiang Ruojing left, Chen Xilin looked at her watch, it was eight o'clock in the morning in City C, she dialed the mobile phone of HRVP Michelle of Beluga C City, but the other party didn't pick up, maybe she was driving, and she was connected to voicemail After the "beep", she said slowly: "Hi, Michelle, it's Lynn, I'm in a hurry to find Mingyue from FATES, if you can find out where she is before ten o'clock central time, and tell me, Will be very grateful. Contact again.”

She left without saying goodbye, she stood in front of the French window, she didn't like to leave without saying goodbye.

In the treatment room, Ming Yue moved to a corner seat, hugging his knees, his ponytail was a bit messy, and a lock of hair was scattered on the side of his face, "I picked a bottle of Pinot Noir from California that day. This red wine tastes too astringent, I don't like it, but After drinking, there will always be a faint fruity fragrance lingering between the lips and teeth. Hong doesn't like to drink, so he drank a glass with me. I was drunk and kissed her desperately to snatch the alluring fragrance from her mouth." Ming Yu opened his eyes, and his eyes Jen, innocently amber in the sunlight, "she kissed me all over, I remember, down to my toes, and I felt a little ashamed."

Mei looked at her tenderly and rationally.

"I turned over and saw how greedy and selfless she was under me," she put her hand on her chest, "like a baby, she was like a baby... When she covered me under me, I closed my eyes. Close my eyes, at that moment, I suddenly cried."

"Cried?"

"I felt like I had found home. Tears welled up in my eyes, and then I cried so loudly that I couldn't help myself."

"What about her?"

"She stopped for a moment in fright, and then wanted me frantically, and my consciousness was all blurred."

"Was that the first time you cried during sex?"

"The first time, and the last time."

"Was it a good experience or a painful one?"

"It's painfully good. I put my heart and soul into it, but it's a pity that she doesn't understand."

"Are you sure she doesn't understand?"

"Sure. In the end she completely denied me, Mei, do you know what it means?" Ming Yu raised his head and looked at her.

"What do you mean?"

"She said that from the very beginning, I forgave her for playing a man and allowed her to come to see me in C City, which was the beginning of revenge on her."

"Ming, sometimes the devil will occupy people's thoughts. I believe that the person you loved will realize that this kind of thinking is extreme after calming down."

"If tolerance and love can be interpreted in the most evil way, why should I continue to be tolerant?"

"Ming, you didn't tell me this five years ago. Do you have any other channels for relief?"

"I won't talk about the past with anyone except you. What's the use? Back then, Hong and I talked online for half a year. She cared about every step I took. Do you know what 'distress' means?"

May looked at her.

"'Distressed' means, how can others hurt you? Let me go."

Michelle's phone rings.

"Lynn, I'm sorry, I missed your call, I checked what you told me."

"It's okay, how is it?"

"The person from FATES said that she took the vacation when she came back, and Mark said, if you have anything to do, he will personally handle it for you."

"Well... I'll wait for Ming, because I started a fight with her in Haicheng before. Do you know when her vacation will end?"

"I asked, it's weird, they said it's not sure yet, I also called Ming's cell phone, but it kept turning off...Lynn, I think something is wrong, I have known Ming for a few years, and her cell phone is always on 24 hours... ...If you have something important, I suggest you go to Mark to solve it."

"Got it, thanks Michelle."

Chen Xilin walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, sighed deeply, "Farewell without saying goodbye..." She softly said the voice that resounded in her heart repeatedly, putting her hands in the pockets of beige trousers, "Farewell without saying goodbye."

Striding back to the table, she was faced with a heated discussion of emails, involving six people on the executive committee of the board of directors, including herself.The subject of this Re-Re-re-sent email was the questioning of Chen Xilin’s eligibility to be in charge of the Pentagon’s $100 billion bidding project, and the primary reason for questioning her was that she was not American.

Several elders of the executive committee had their own thoughts and quarreled. Some questioned and some defended. Chen Xilin remained silent. Bai Henry, the founder of Moby Whale, was copied among them, and he also remained silent.

Chen Xilin sat on the chair, clicked on the calendar to look at it, then looked back at the email, and clicked "Reply to All":
