My first love overturned

When Gu Chenjing knocked on the door, Lin Zhuoguang was still looking at the "Twin Stars with the Moon" in the album, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that when he and Gu Chenjing looked at each other, it was a tacit smile.

Hearing the knock on the door, he raised his head and smiled at Gu Chenjing: "Come here?"

Gu Chen nodded, walked to Lin Zhuoguang's desk and sat down, with a embarrassed expression on his face, as if he wanted to say something, but it was not easy to say.

Lin Zhuoguang, who was still immersed in the photo, spread out the album on the "Group Photo" page, and turned to face Gu Chenjing: "Take a look at the photo, Qin Zhenzhu pays homage to us, just like a new wife meeting her parents .”

"Qin Zhenzhu sent me the electronic version." Gu Chenjing slid his fingers across the table, pressed a little force under the album, and closed the album. He hesitated and said, "I have to leave early."

"Leave early?" Lin Zhuoguang, who was still depressed by Gu Chenjing's lack of interest in the "group photo", was shocked, "When?"

"Preferably tomorrow."

"How is it possible?" Lin Zhuoguang suddenly raised his voice, "There are still 17 days until the Chinese New Year!"

"I have carried out the handover of the project step by step since mid-December, and I have made a list. I have confirmed with the relevant successors one by one. Qin Zhenzhu will follow up the work related to you. I have also withdrawn the lease from the community. I I know that resigning suddenly is an extremely irresponsible behavior, but my mother..." Gu Chenjing said with extreme apology, "I will cooperate with the follow-up work at any time. Also, should I resign early? Should the company be compensated? Monthly salary?"

"One month's salary?" Lin Zhuoguang felt that his chest was already broken, and he blurted out forcefully, "Is this for my mental damage? Or divorce alimony?"

"It's funny, but I can't quite laugh now." Gu Chenjing said.

Such Gu Chenjing made Lin Zhuoguang's heart stutter again.

Taking a deep breath and another deep breath, Lin Zhuoguang lowered his eyes, trying to resist the redness of the eye sockets caused by the physical sourness.

After being quiet for a long time, he took a deep breath, cleared the blocked nasal cavity by breathing, and opened his mouth: "I will sign for you. But..."

He raised his head and looked deeply at Gu Chenjing, "Please, don't disconnect."

"En." Gu Chenjing's expression remained calm, but in his eyes, Lin Zhuoguang still found sadness.

The sadness gradually increased, and when it was about to fill his eyes, Gu Chenjing said softly: "Lin Zhuoguang, thank you."

He stood up and walked out.

The door was closed, and the space returned to tranquility, only the photo album closed by Gu Chenjing faced Lin Zhuoguang face to face.

Suddenly Lin Zhuoguang stood up with one leg, walked quickly to the door, and opened it abruptly.

He was stunned.

Gu Chenjing maintained the posture of walking out of the door, and stood quietly at the door.

Hearing the sound of the door being violently opened, Gu Chenjing turned his head and met Lin Zhuoguang's eyes.

Gu Chenjing suddenly smiled: "It seems like we haven't said goodbye yet?"

"Little lion." Lin Zhuoguang murmured, "Can we... can we hug?"

Before Gu Chenjing could answer, Lin Zhuoguang took a step forward, grabbed Gu Chenjing's shoulders, pulled him into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

"Little lion……"

His head was buried on Gu Chenjing's shoulder, and the tip of his nose felt the temperature of his neck and the delicate skin. Lin Zhuoguang wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Gu Chenjing gave him a strong hug back, and the lips close to his ears were moist and warm: "Lin Zhuoguang, goodbye."

The strength in the shoulder gradually diminishes and finally disappears.

Taking a few steps back and keeping enough distance from Lin Zhuoguang, Gu Chenjing gave Lin Zhuoguang a soft smile without a trace of alienation that he always liked to see.

After Gu Chenjing's resignation, the relationship between Lin Zhuoguang and Gu Chenjing changed back to a state where they were not considered out of touch, but Gu Chenjing would never return when it comes to private matters, and only when it comes to official matters will they be detailed.

Human beings are evolving, but he is going back to his ancestors, Lin Zhuoguang is very upset.

This unhappiness reached a critical value on the 16th day after Gu Chenjing's resignation.

The time jumped to 0:00. Lin Zhuoguang routinely checked the list of consumption restriction orders at this time every day. After confirming that there was no addition of Gu Chenjing, his mobile phone was in a state of full workload.

0:00 The first ones to wish him a happy birthday were his uncle and Qin Xiao.

One after another came classmates from elementary school, middle school and university, acquaintances who had met once or twice, casual acquaintances who couldn't remember who they were looking at their WeChat profile pictures and names, and three ex-girlfriends.

They all replied with a polite "thank you", and they didn't order any red envelopes. Lin Zhuoguang just checked his phone from time to time, thinking that Gu Chenjing shouldn't be absent on this special day.

He is 25 years old, and the most optimistic thought is that if a person can live to be 100 years old, a quarter of his life will have passed.

On such an important day, Gu Chenjing did not show up.

Lin Zhuoguang was very lonely—at least for his birthday last year, he still had a bowl of Yangchun noodles with a white, fat poached egg inside.

The little lion... at least say happy birthday, right?Lin Zhuoguang thought.

Until the time came to six o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Zhenzhu rushed in holding a birthday cake in the shape of a birthday peach, singing a slightly out-of-key "Happy Birthday to You", Lin Zhuoguang didn't wait for a word from Gu Chenjing.

He looked at Qin Zhenzhu with a cold face and cold eyes.

Qin Zhenzhu never cared about the cold treatment her boss gave her.

She hummed a happy birthday song, put the festive and auspicious birthday peach cake made of bright pink and milky white in front of Lin Zhuoguang, put an "18" candle on it, and lit it with the match she brought.

The "18" that was trying to cover up... Lin Zhuoguang snorted coldly.

Qin Zhenzhu took out the paper plate and plastic fork that came with the cake, and set out three servings full of ritual.

Wouldn't you go to the administration department to pick up porcelain plates and silver tableware?Lin Zhuoguang rolled his eyes.

Qin Zhenzhu waved the plastic knife: "Boss, make a wish and blow out the candles."

"If you want to eat cake, eat it, don't use the boss as a tool." Lin Zhuoguang quickly and accurately fanned out the candle with his palm.

The moment the birthday candle was extinguished, a thin wisp of white smoke came out of the candle wick, and rushed into Lin Zhuoguang's breath with the smoky breath produced by the burning.

Qin Zhenzhu slashed in, and the "Shou Tao" was split into two from the raised part in the middle.

"Gu Chenjing doesn't like to eat this kind of cake with excessive sugar." Lin Zhuoguang said, "And he is not in the company, what do you mean by setting three plates?"

"Chairman, Secretary Lin, and the boss, aren't there three of you?" Qin Zhenzhu confidently said, "I'll take the rest, so don't worry if I don't get it."

"They don't care. I don't eat it either." Lin Zhuoguang said.

"Then I'll take it away." Qin Zhenzhu immediately packed it up, making no secret of her urgency to get off work and enjoy her private life after finishing all the get off work.

"Wait." Lin Zhuoguang said, "Did Gu Chenjing contact you today?"

"Chenchen?" Qin Zhenzhu put the paper plate and expected knife and fork back into the plastic bag, "No."

"You give him a call." Lin Zhuoguang said.

Qin Zhenzhu put the cake back into the cake box, tied the ribbon, consciously held her mobile phone, and opened the dial interface: "What are you calling?"

"It's only half a month away from New Year's Eve. You should pay him an early New Year's greeting." Lin Zhuoguang said, "By the way, tell him that the company is celebrating my birthday. I'm 25, a big birthday."

Pressing the button, dialing out, and turning on the hands-free, Qin Zhenzhu's movements are neat, no matter how you look at it, she is a perfect assistant.

"Hello." Gu Chenjing's gentle and polite voice fell into Lin Zhuoguang's ears, making him tremble slightly.

"Chenchen! I wish you an early New Year! Happy Chinese New Year, happy family!" Lin Zhuoguang pulled the phone towards him calmly, and Qin Zhenzhu, who was a little far away, turned up the volume, and the early years were very imposing. .

The words "Family Happiness" subtly stimulated Lin Zhuoguang's brow.

"Thank you." Gu Chenjing politely replied to Qin Zhenzhu.

"Chenchen, what are you doing? Are you in Lingbei now?"

"I'm in Ning City."

Qin Zhenzhu was excited: "I really want to go to the newly built Yunxiao Parade in Ning City!"

"I have a chance to come and play." Gu Chenjing said.

The word "come" subtly stimulated Lin Zhuoguang's eyebrows.

"I will definitely come!"

Qin Zhenzhu actually chattered, Lin Zhuoguang glared at her, paused on the table with his fingers, and made an emphatic sound.

"Oh, I have to get busy. Today is the boss's birthday. He's 25 years old. He said it's a big birthday, and the company has to celebrate his birthday."

Gu Chenjing said: "Okay, goodbye."

The phone hung up naturally.

Qin Zhenzhu took a look at Lin Zhuoguang who was looking at the phone with frozen eyes and didn't know what important things to think about. After all, she stretched out her hand cautiously and slowly touched her phone back.

Lin Zhuoguang's gaze was still fixed in place.

Gu Chenjing showed no fluctuations in the keywords of "25 years old, birthday".

Either he didn't know it at all, so it wasn't a surprise at all.Either he didn't care at all, so it wasn't a surprise at all.

All in all, for Lin Zhuoguang's 25th birthday, even a "Happy Birthday" is not worth posting to Gu Chenjing, and Qin Zhenzhu would not be asked to convey a "Happy Birthday".

No matter how calm a person is, there are those who know clearly and rationally in their hearts that there is no possibility, but still cannot stop the weakness of fermenting expectations.This expectation rises to the most beautiful and highest point vainly, and will not completely die down until the result comes and the dust settles.

Moreover, even though this expectation was given by him without authorization, he would still get angry when it was punctured.

Lin Zhuoguang was very angry.

Amid his anger and depression fermenting, he received another birthday greeting on WeChat.

From a so-called friend whom he doesn't remember.

After replying "Thank you", Lin Zhuoguang opened the speed dial interface with his backhand and called Gu Chenjing.

Friends who don't remember much can wish happy birthday, can't good friends call when they want to?

This is not harmonious!

He obviously only heard Gu Chenjing's voice from Qin Zhenzhu's mobile phone not long ago, but when the polite and routine "Hello" fell close to his ears, Lin Zhuoguang still felt the blood flowing through his heart tremble.

He didn't speak, but Gu Chenjing smiled softly: "Are you also here to pay my respects?"

Gu Chenjing who is in a good mood VS Lin Zhuoguang who is depressed.This kind of comparison made Lin Zhuoguang's anger expand even more. He said in a muffled voice, "Today is my birthday."

"Yeah." Gu Chenjing responded in a low voice, "Happy birthday. I'm 25 years old, I'm an adult."

Are you an adult yet?

Lin Zhuoguang suddenly realized that at this moment, he was still a little tiger being kept in the conservation base, while Gu Chenjing had become a lonely lion with his back standing up against the wind and rain, against the torrential wind and rain, and the abyss.

The depression value decreased, Lin Zhuoguang lowered his voice: "Why don't you send me a message... wish me a happy birthday?"

Gu Chenjing hesitated for a moment: "I don't want to disturb you. You don't need someone to accompany you."

"That should go through a procedure." Lin Zhuoguang asked Gu Chenjing, "Where are you?"

"Accompany..." Gu Chenjing paused, the word "girlfriend" seemed to be hard to say, and there was a helpless smile in his voice, "Go shopping with her."

A cute female voice came from the receiver: "Who is it?"

Gu Chenjing should have held the phone slightly away from his lips, and Lin Zhuoguang heard "friend" in a low voice.

friend.Accompanying a girlfriend is of course more important than a friend's birthday.

The awareness of being lowered by the sense of existence hurts self-esteem, Lin Zhuoguang said a few words casually, and hung up the phone.

"Happy Birthday" is coming, but why is it still so annoying?

The evening rush hour has come to an end, and most people have returned to their homes. The main road in Moshiqianping is no longer busy, and the cars pass by with their lights on, making it even more empty.

Like Lin Zhuoguang at the moment.

Who said I don't need people to accompany me?Lin Zhuoguang thought, I am most afraid of being alone.

In the silence, the mobile phone rang a WeChat notification tone.Lin Zhuoguang, who had no interest and only followed the habit of sliding away the phone unconsciously, was stunned.

Little Lion: [waiting to receive the red envelope.PS: Happy birthday, happy forever. 】

Lin Zhuoguang opened the red envelope, the amount: 188.88.

Such cheesy numbers!Gu Chenjing has no heart!

Lin Zhuoguang immediately called Qin Xiao and reserved the VIP room in Lanting. ,

Lin Zhuoguang directly clicked into a second-generation group: [@Everyone My Birthday, Lanting at eight o'clock, "Purple Sandalwood", you can do whatever you want. 】

The group became lively in an instant, and happy birthday animations kept popping up.

After taking a screenshot, Lin Zhuoguang quickly posted it on Moments.

Five minutes later, Moments already had dozens of likes and birthday wishes.

But Lin Zhuoguang felt more empty in his heart.

He is not short of company.

What he lacks is Gu Chenjing.
