(FR. Hilde Frank)

Just after get off work, while listening to the phone through the earphones, while waiting for the elevator with a handbag, the moment I hung up the phone, I found Charlotte sent a video.

After I clicked on it, I found that it was a video of Ethan shopping with a man. Charlotte typed it again and wrote: I don’t know what their relationship is, but I was met by chance in Chengdu before.

It's not difficult to guess, the only answer I can think of is Qi Hao, I replied: I know, it may be Qi Hao, the supporting teacher that Ethan knew when he was collecting wind in the mountains.

Charlotte said: Ethan seemed to be happy.

Well, I said.

Ask again: Is this in Beijing?

Charlotte types quickly: Yeah, can't you see?

I watched that video twice, and before I got into the elevator, my colleagues who got off work said goodbye to me one after another. I responded absent-mindedly, and finally found an empty corner of the company library to stay. Ethan was in the video One was dressed very low-key, wearing a bucket hat and mask, while the other wore glasses, a striped shirt, floor-length pants, and a light brown photo vest.

Charlotte's news came in again, writing: You see, he has been doing well since you separated, smiling so happily.

I asked: Have you already tacitly agreed that they are together?

Charlotte said: It's fine to be together or not, as long as Ethan is happy.

I put my handbag on the coffee table, and the cleaning staff came in with tools, and I was the only one left in the library. I looked at her and said, "Excuse me, you can clean normally, I'll be leaving right away."

I stood up, typed quickly into the dialog box, and said: Yeah, you don't have to worry anymore, Ethan and I are friends now, and I won't offend him.

But Charlotte said: You can't guarantee that you won't cross the line, no one can guarantee.

I was thinking about the video sent by Charlotte all night, so that I lost my mind during the meeting the next morning, and, at the meeting, I learned an unexpected news that the public welfare project I have been in charge of needs to be handed over to others.

In addition, the meeting also revealed that some middle and high-level personnel and technical personnel will be transferred to Shanghai to work in the design center.Naturally, this is not bad news for a large number of people. I believe that many people are willing to go to Shanghai, but when I think of the handover of the public welfare planning, I suddenly become uneasy.

Most likely, my name was already on the original deployment list.

But this matter is still in the confidential stage, and I have no way to determine what the final situation will be, so I have to wait and see for the time being.An hour after lunch, I was sent by my boss to have afternoon tea with my partner.However, until this time, the lingering in my mind is still that video.

The partner is a middle-aged man about 50 years old. He is very interested in Germany, so he asked me a lot of questions, and I answered them one by one.

Although this kind of social interaction will be helpful to work, it is a kind of mental torture for anyone, especially when it is found that the other party has nothing in common with themselves.After drinking a cup of coffee, I was drowsy, and immediately went back to the office to sign the documents. Fortunately, Xiao Ke arranged everything in an orderly manner, saving a lot of trouble.

"Frank, someone called your work cell phone just now, I answered it, and then sent a bag of things, which should be special products or something." Xiao Ke went to get things while talking.

In a few seconds, Xiao Ke brought in a bag from outside.

I asked, "Who sent it?"

"It was delivered by running errands, signed by Zuo... Zuo Boyao." Xiao Ke read out the name so calmly, I looked up at him, wondering if he really didn't understand, or pretended not to understand .

But nothing could be seen on Xiao Ke's face, so I nodded and said, "Got it, let's take it apart and see what it is."

Xiao Ke went to the coffee table to unpack the bag. There might be seven or eight items inside, and they were all not too small. Xiao Ke read the names one by one: "Lengchi Rabbit, Zhang Fei Beef, Sweet Skin Duck, Mengding Mountain Tea... They are all special products from Sichuan, and there is a note."

I put down the signature pen, reached out to take the crumpled piece of paper, opened it, and there were a few lines written on it perfunctorily: Good afternoon!Are you hungry?Then try these delicacies, Qi Hao delivered them from Chengdu and bought a lot, so I shared them with my friends, they are delicious!no thanks!

There was no title or signature on the note, and a grimace was sketched in the lower right corner. I put the note on the table, and saw Xiao Ke packed up his things again and put them in the lounge.

Unexpectedly, just as I was about to get off work that evening, Ethan called and asked me, "Did you get everything?"

I replied: "Got it, thank you."

"Is it annoying? I said no thanks. Have you tasted it? Is it delicious?"

"Not yet, eat after work." I reached out to turn off the computer, stood up to listen to the phone, and asked Ethan, "Has Qi Hao come to Beijing?"

He seemed surprised and asked, "Why do you know?"

"Charlotte told me that some of your fans took pictures of you two outside," I cleared my throat, and said, "I also saw the video, Qi Hao is quite handsome."

Ethan thought for a while in silence, then suddenly asked, "Then do you think I'm handsome or he?"

This question really surprised me, and I didn't know how to answer it for a moment. I thought about it and said, "How can this be compared? There is no way to compare."

"It must be comparable, they are all human, why can't they be compared?"

"Then... you are handsome."

I answered a little briefly, because I never thought of comparing the two together. My thoughts were interrupted by Ethan's question, and I couldn't figure out what he meant.

Are you showing off your sweetness with feigned competitiveness to demonstrate to me?Or, he and Qi Hao are really very ordinary friends.

Ethan said again: "I have something to ask you."

I asked what was the matter.

Ethan lowered his voice and asked me slowly, "You broke up with Nozawa...do you regret it?"

"Why do you ask about this?"

"Ask whatever you want, and you don't have to answer if you don't want to answer."

"No regrets."

Ethan said: "You guessed it, you shouldn't make any decisions that you will regret. Often everything is under control and you follow your heart."

"Don't say that," I walked to the window and said, "I'm not that good, and I have regrets, things I'm not willing to do and things I didn't do well, and I will go against my will and panic."

"I heard from my mother that you will have dinner with her in two days," Ethan suddenly changed the subject and said, "I will go too."

"You don't actually want to go?"

"No, I know Zuo Lin is going. Since you and Zuo Lin are both going, there will be fun to watch." Ethan chuckled as he spoke.

I thought to myself, it's still unknown who is going to watch whose party. After all, after knowing that Ethan is going too, I figured out why Zuo Lin called me and said that she wanted to join this party.
