The lightness of the world of mortals

Ever since Ming Yu left suddenly, Jiang Ruojing paid special attention to Chen Xilin.Now Chen Xilin is gone too, she walked outside her small office, looking thoughtfully at the shutters of Chen Xilin's office.

Xiaomi looked up at her in the cubicle of the big office, then turned to wink at the intern girl next to her. The intern girl has been here for two months, and Xiaomi took her with her. much.

"Cici," Xiaomi called her in a low voice. Many Chinese girls like to take this kind of cute English name. "See?"

Intern Cici nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "I know, Jessicaxlynn!"

"No, the one before x is usually gong, I bet it's lynnxjessica."

"Oh~" Cici wrote down another knowledge point in the small notebook in his heart, "Isn't Gong the one who looks amazing?"

Jiang Ruojing walked towards Xiaomi, her high-heeled shoes clicking on the floor, "mia," she leaned against Xiaomi's desk, "has the report from the ht pop-up window come out?"

"Oh, I'll look for it, I'll look for it."

Xiaomi buried his head in the computer to update the data, Jiang Ruojing brushed his hair and looked at Cici, who was looking at her with research eyes.

"How about cici, are you still used to it?"

"Oh! Pretty good! Thank you Jessica!" The girl lowered her head after a loud answer.

What's wrong?Jiang Ruojing thought.Xiaomi was still struggling to find, Jiang Ruojing unlocked the phone, swipe the hotspot, saw a picture of a silly pig, and immediately fell in love with it.Saved the picture and sent it to Mingyu: Look, Juju~

The blue light was flashing, Mingyu woke up suddenly, and touched the phone, there were two messages from Jiang Ruojing: a picture, a pig on the picture, and a sentence: Look, Juju~

She didn't understand it, and stuck the phone face down on the bedside table. The feeling of thirst came over in an instant, and the bottle of water in the car suddenly appeared in her mind. She fumbled to sit up and pour water, and her head really hurt.

"Sorry Jessica! I read it this morning, I remember it's in this folder..." Xiaomi blushed.

Jiang Ruojing paused, "Such an important report can't be thrown away."

"Understood, understood, I will search again, and I will definitely find it!"

Jiang Ruojing raised her phone again, but Ming Yu didn't reply, so she opened the email:

Hi Mr. Chen, excuse me, I know you are sleeping right now, I hope I didn't disturb you... Can you tell me how you are now when you are free?Thank you very much!

Chen Xilin opened the pop-up window of the email, and "Red Bean" was circulating in the bedroom. It was past one o'clock, and she didn't fall asleep.

It was Jiang Ruojing's email. She thought about it, but didn't reply.She was only responsible for telling Jiang Ruojing the answer once, not for following up the situation.

"Dig the Hole" is a woman's face, and she painted it in the middle of the night without knowing it. The woman raised her eyebrows sideways, her eyes were a little gentle, a little sad, a little calm, and a little emotional.

She leaned back, who is this?She couldn't tell.

Xiaomi finally called up the document, "Sorry Jessica, I found it..."

"Send it to me." Jiang Ruojing turned and walked to the office.

Cici raised her head and stuck out her tongue at Xiaomi, "Mia, is she Yujiegong?"

Xiaomi shook her finger, with a sophisticated look, "Tsundere Shou!"

"Wow, what about Mr. Chen?"

Xiaomi thought about it, "It's attackable, it's perfect~" She made a "Golden Star" gesture.

In the evening, Kent took Jiang Ruojing to eat Chaoshan hotpot. Kent is a foodie and a local. Jiang Ruojing has followed him for the past few months, and he has tasted all the essence of Chinese food that he has not eaten in the United States for five years or even the previous twenty years.

"Look at how beautiful the tender snowflakes are, hey~" Kent pointed to a small dish in front of him, and sighed in Mandarin with a Wu dialect accent, "This piece of meat cannot be cut from an adult cow. It’s a pound, a small piece on the back of the neck,” he said, pointing to the back of his neck, “Come on, just burn it a little.” Kent rinsed it and put it in Jiang Ruojing’s bowl.

"How about it?"

"Well, tender." Jiang Ruojing put down his chopsticks.

"Try this again, do you know what this is called?"

"what is it call?"

"You also have this in Western food. It's called chuck, and we call it zip (spoon skin)."

"... dead skin??"

"Spoon, the 'spoon' of the 'key'," Kent said, gesticulating with his fingers on the table, "This piece of meat is the most test of the master's knife skills. A well-cut piece of meat can melt in your mouth. It was cut out by a half-hearted master, just this tendon," Kent pointed with his little finger, "it can make your mouth sore that you can't chew it."

Kent not only takes her to eat, but also likes to tell her, which is interesting.

"Just the same piece of meat?"

"The same piece of meat. Try this," he put another piece of hot meat to Jiang Ruojing, "I knew this piece of meat was cut by Lao Si." Kent smiled mysteriously.

What he likes most about Jiang Ruojing is knowing how to compliment her. Whenever he talks so eloquently, the expression on her face really makes him feel that she speaks very well. She won't exaggerate her praise like some women do. She Just listen carefully, and don't express much opinion. Sometimes Kent even thinks that she is much better than a woman like Ming Yue. He dare not express his opinion so reassuringly in front of Ming Yue. , The topic is even more annoying to be taken away by a woman unknowingly.

Jiang Ruojing didn't do much research on "eating", so she was happy to listen to him. She knew Kent was very useful.

"Have you got any news?" she asked Kent.

"Eh? I found that you care about her very much. Did you know each other well when you were in America?"

"It's ripe."

"I haven't heard what she said." Kent rolled his eyes and thought for a while.

"Why did they tell you this? You didn't tell her what we have to do with each other."

"That's right," Kent took a sip of beer, "She went to work today."

"Oh..." Jiang Ruojing was not surprised, "Then when will she come to Haicheng again?"

"I don't know. Don't come if you can. I will serve her even if I come."

"How about I help you serve her next time she comes? Eh? I'll pick you up for you."

Kent only took her as a joke, "Are you helping me or are you trying to help her?"

Jiang Ruojing smiled playfully, "Help you, and help her by the way."

Just as he was talking, Kent's phone rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was a Hong Kong number. "Sorry, I have to answer the phone." He stood up and walked out the door as he spoke.

Jiang Ruojing looked at the plates of meat in front of him, pouted, and took out his mobile phone from his bag. Neither Ming Yue nor Chen Xilin replied to her.She opened the picture of the pig again, how cute, she murmured to herself.

Kent stood in the corner outside the door, suppressing his voice: "It's best to find it locally, otherwise it will be very troublesome to apply for a visa... Yes, yes, I was entrusted with the idea that we have business in Dongsuo, you If you want to send it from Hong Kong or Haicheng, I can find it myself..."

After a pause, the other party didn't know what to say on the phone, Kent started to pace, "I need to give me some time, I can't rush it, if the timing is wrong and I screw up, I will be in big trouble..."

Jiang Ruojing picked up a spoon skin and looked at it carefully. Is it really as evil as Kent said?A light tap on the shoulder startled her, and it was Kent who had returned.

"Why did you come over there?" Jiang Ruojing looked back.

"I went to the back kitchen to say hello, and it turned out to be the fourth chef," Kent said with a smile, "How is it? What did you find out?"

Jiang Ruojing shook her head, "I don't understand." She has a face that is perfectly balanced between femininity and innocence.

Kent took something out of his pocket, "Open it and have a look."

Jiang Ruojing glanced up and saw that it was obviously a jewelry box, so he hesitated.

"take it."

Jiang Ruojing took it over, except for the packaging, it was a blue-green box, you don't need to look at the logo to know which one, Mingyu said before that he didn't like this brand very much.She opened the box, and found a pair of pearl earrings, with a small diamond inlaid under the pearl.

"Do you like it? Try it on."

"It's too expensive, I won't try it." Jiang Ruojing pushed it to him.

"Mine is yours," Kent took out the earrings, "I thought you should wear them the first time I saw them, they are very suitable!"

Jiang Ruojing hesitated for a moment, took it over, took off the pair of cs on his ears, and put this pair on.

"Do you have a mirror? Take a look, it's very beautiful! Just wear it and don't take it off."

Jiang Ruojing took a look in the mirror, "Well... thank you~" She smiled coquettishly at Kent.

"Fool, can you still say thank you?"

Jiang Ruojing turned on the beauty camera, took a photo of Meimei, sent it to Moments, blocked everyone except Mingyue and Kent, and wrote: He just sent it~

Ming Yue changed into black and was going to attend Ivan's memorial service.

Walking to the entrance, he took out his mobile phone from his bag, "How long are you staying in City C?"

With a clear and short sound, Chen Xilin opened her eyes. She didn't know when she fell asleep. She touched the mobile phone. The blinds blocked all the light outside the window, and the light from the mobile phone was a bit dazzling.

She touched the remote control, and the sun shone in.

"It depends, but I will be in the United States for a long time this time."

Depending on the situation?What's the situation?Mingyu thought, why think so much?She put the phone back in her bag.

Chen Xilin didn't wait for the next sentence, but the sun had already covered the bed, and he couldn't sleep anymore.

She was a little annoyed, isn't the opened bottle cap responsible for closing it?

Jiang Ruojing bid farewell to Kent behind the door of his apartment, and blew out a circle of love to him from the palm of his hand, his eyes were so charming that it made people feel crisp.She was coaxing him, and declined his further request again. He would be angry, but who would care about him?She still kept her body for Ming Yue.

Even if he looked at his phone again, Ming Yu still ignored her, and Chen Xilin ignored her.

The day in North America is over.Ashes to dust, dust to dust.

After returning from the memorial service, Ming Yu started working at four o'clock. In three and a half hours, she finally finished processing thousands of emails from the previous week, and bought herself a ticket back to Haicheng on Monday. The work done must continue.Even better, Chen Xilin wants to stay in the United States, so that there will be no more stories, and then what?And then time has passed, who will continue this ambiguity?

Look at the watch, it's almost eight o'clock.In the past day, she only ate a few slices of rye bread, and she decided to go to a restaurant to have a good meal from appetizer to dessert, even if she was sitting there ridiculously, pick a good environment, and pick a corner, Yes, just go to the kind of place where the guests are good at pretending and won't stare at you.

The place was chosen on Hugo Street, so there is no need to make a reservation at this time.She sat in the corner and ate a shrimp tail cocktail with champagne. The main course came, the filet mignon fed from the salt water pasture, and the wine was replaced with Italian sangiovese. Turning around, the colleague at the other end of the hall winked and laughed.

The one who dared to laugh at her openly was a handsome woman with short hair. She sat down across from her and laughed, "Ming, are you being let go?"

Ming Yu looked up at her for two seconds before his confused look dissipated, "Alex, why are you in City C?"

Alex is Alex from British Columbia. Mingyu carefully identified it in front of a refueling machine two years ago. She studied French for three years in college and returned it to the teacher. Who knows that there is such a machine in British Columbia that is not English and French. bilingual.A short-haired woman winked at her from the fuel dispenser next door, "Miss, can I help you?"

That's when they hooked up.Later, Ming Yue occasionally asked her out when he went to British Columbia on a business trip.

It's strange, Alex is a blue-eyed Alex, but Mingyu always thinks that she looks very much like Hong, and he is about to tell a joke that gets better and better as he thinks about it, but she still doesn't laugh.

"I came from work," Alex pointed to the table in the diagonal corner, "I was going to call you after dinner, why..." She began to look at the ridiculously neat dinner plate in front of Ming Yue again, the corners of her mouth slanted He flew up and started laughing again.

"Stop it. Who still stipulates that you can't eat alone?"

"No, the main human beings have had food to share since primitive society, or you can share it with me?"

Ming Yue pouted, "Aren't you working?"

"We've already had dessert, here..." She looked at the one in front of Mingyu, "It's still early. Anyway, they don't miss me, so I'll accompany you."

Mingyu wanted to say that I'm not bad for you here, but after thinking about it, it's not that she won't come if she doesn't let her.

Saying hello to my colleagues, Alex moved over, and the chestnut-haired waitress added tableware for her. Alex glanced at Mingyue's wine, and asked the chestnut-haired to bring a whole bottle. She had finished eating, so she could only drink with her .

"It's not that I let her go, it's that she's too hungry." Alex winked at the waiter, who laughed and blushed.

"Why are you eating here alone?" Alex sipped his wine.

"I'm hungry." Ming Yu cut off a small piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

Alex laughed with great interest, it doesn't matter if he doesn't say anything.

"When was the last time I saw you?" She tried to remember. "It's been three or four months."

"Well... almost."

"everything fine?"

"OK How about you?"

"It can't be better," Alex took the cup to touch Ming Yu's, and gave half a cup to drink, "I live in the peninsula."

"I'm not going."

"Then... shall I go to your place?"

"Forget it, it's not convenient for me."

Alex tilted his head and looked at her with a pair of affectionate blue eyes, "Don't tell me that you have no one to eat with, but someone to... sleep with you."

Ming Yue sighed, "I'm going to China on a business trip the day after tomorrow, and I have to deal with a lot of things today and tomorrow." She knew this was an excuse, but in fact, she felt that she seemed indifferent.

"Okay~" Alex didn't insist anymore.

Ming Yu still saved desserts, it's really silly to let people accompany desserts, just to lose weight.She wiped the corner of her lips, "Excuse me."

When she walked from the toilet area to the sink area, Alex was sitting on it waiting for her, with a smirk on his face, Ming Yue turned on the water to wash his hands, Alex jumped down, embraced her from behind, and rubbed against the side of her neck and earlobe, Look at her in the mirror.

"Alex, the two of us... just forget it."

"why?"

"I suddenly felt... This kind of relationship is not so comfortable. There is always someone who is not so free and easy. Now I am particularly afraid of trouble."

"I'm leaving tomorrow, I won't trouble you..." Alex bit her earlobe lightly.

"What are you doing!" Ming Yu scolded in a low voice, "This is a public place."

"Then you come with me."

"I really don't want to." Ming Yue turned around to break free.

Alex didn't let go, he put his hand under her skirt and whispered provocative words in her ear.

The door was pushed open, the sound of high heels paused for half a second at the door, and he hurried into the room.

"Let go!" Ming Yu stomped his foot, and Alex screamed, the heel was really accurate.

The high-heeled shoes hurried out again, "Ming Yue?"

Ming Yue was stunned, her sense of shame made her want to evaporate in place.

"Is she harassing you?" Chen Xilin asked in English.

"Me and her..." Alex let go, "We know each other."

"Who stipulated that sexual harassment only exists between strangers? Isn't she rejecting you? Mingyu, I can call the police." Chen Xilin took out his mobile phone.

"Hey, hey, hey~" Alex raised his hand, "Ming, is this going to happen between us?"

"Forget it." Ming Yue walked out the door, she didn't want to stay here for a moment.

"Wait," Chen Xilin called to stop her, "Get out." She said to Alex.

Alex shrugged and walked out.

Chen Xilin was really annoyed, "How did you recruit her?"

"I..." Ming Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I'll take you back."

"no need."

"I send you."

"I'm going to pay the bill."

"You don't have to worry about it."

Chen Xilin pulled her out and ran into chestnut hair, "Please include her meal expenses in it," she pointed to the private room, "Please pass her coat, thank you."

Chen Xilin didn't stop, and walked to the private room, "Wait a minute, I'll greet them in a few seconds." She put Ming Yue at the door, opened the door and went in.

Ming Yu stood at the door, his mind blank.

Before she could react, Chen Xilin had already come out with a coat and bag, and the chestnut hair was already waiting for Ming Yue's coat. Chen Xilin thanked her, took it and handed it to Ming Yu, and walked towards the restaurant without stopping. go outside.

She handed the ticket to the little brother who parked at the door, and the two stood in the twilight, Ming Yue with his pockets in his pocket, his head bowed, like a child who did something wrong.The bright blue headlights flickered, revealing Chen Xilin's expression, from the moment of contemplation to the moment when he raised his head.She stepped forward, and there was already a doorman helping Ming Yue open the passenger door.Chen Xilin thanked him with the tip, the two closed the door, and when the car started, "Red Bean" came out from the speaker.

Mingyu's face burned.

Chen Xilin pressed the next song, and regretted it after pressing it, as if to show his guilt.

She also didn't realize that she didn't ask Mingyu's address at all.

They arrived soon, the two sat in the car, Chen Xilin opened the door, "I'll take you in and leave."

Ming Yu didn't refute, and opened the courtyard door, "Please come in."

She opened the door again, "Would you like something to drink?" After asking, she felt very frivolous, but she obviously had no other intentions.

Chen Xilin wanted to leave immediately, but it was difficult for her to say "no" when she asked this question. It sounded like she had rejected many things.

"Just say a few words and leave."

"Okay, sit down then."

"Ming Yue, I just don't understand one thing. Am I safer than these people? You'd rather hang out with them..." She stopped abruptly, knowing that she had said enough.

"No, I went to dinner alone tonight, and I met her by chance."

"You go to that kind of restaurant to eat alone?"

"right……"

Chen Xilin didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Anyway... thank you."

"Is she the same as Jessica, the one who disappears during the day?" Chen Xilin didn't intend to accept her thanks.

Mingyu's face and heart were filled with embarrassment.

"I'm sorry..." Chen Xilin lowered his voice, "I seem to have crossed the line."

"No."

"It's fine if you don't."

ha?Ming Yu looked up at her, not expecting her to change her posture every minute.

The phone rang at the wrong time, Ming Yu found it out of his bag, it was Jiang Ruojing, she pinched him.

Chen Xilin looked at her.

The phone rang again, she pinched it again, and it rang again.

"Is it not convenient for me to pick it up?"

Jiang Ruojing insisted on calling, Mingyu stared at the screen in a daze, Chen Xilin saw Jiang Ruojing's name, and out of nowhere, Chen Xilin took the phone from her hand and swiped, "Mingyu is inconvenient to answer the phone now. "

She didn't wait for Jiang Ruojing to speak, and hung up.

Ming Yu couldn't help but laughed, "You drove away two."

"you are welcome."

"I... go to Haicheng the day after tomorrow."

"Then I'll ask you to go...to bask in the sun tomorrow."
