The Pentium Era - South to North

He Hongmei stayed in Hangzhou for three days and almost never left the hotel door. This time she did not visit Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao's parents, nor did she go to Ge Ling's design center upstairs in the dynamic zone.

Almost no one knew that He Hongmei had arrived in Hangzhou. Zhang Chen left the company at around four o'clock every afternoon and went to the International Building. Liu Ligan didn't see him after get off work every day. It was strange that he was caught that morning and asked, Are you having a tryst with someone, so mysterious and mysterious that you can't even see the ghost?

"What a ghost!" Zhang Chen cursed, "Do you think I am you?"

"I'm afraid you're not me, and you won't be able to resolve troubles." Liu Ligan said with a smile.

"Go away, go away, go to your class." Zhang Chen drove Liu Lipole outside.

Every day, when Zhang Chen arrived at the International Building, He Hongmei was bleary-eyed. She said coquettishly, "Master, I didn't expect your old comrade to be so powerful, making me have to catch up on sleep every day."

Zhang Chen laughed.

He Hongmei was depressed all day long, and she didn't have a meal at all. She only called after thinking about it, and she just ordered a bowl of noodles. She dealt with it casually. Only when Zhang Chen came did she cheer up.

She walked behind the door and reached out to open the door. Before Zhang Chen could enter, she had already slipped into the bathroom next to her, closed the door, and locked it. Through the door, Zhang Chen asked her what she was doing.

"Wash your face, brush your teeth, and put on makeup." He Hongmei said vaguely with toothpaste in her mouth.

When I came out after a while, I was already radiant.

Zhang Chen looked at her and smiled evilly and said, "What kind of makeup are you wearing? Anyway, your hair will be messy after a while."

"Go!" He Hongmei scolded, "Then I can't let you see that I am a sloppy person."

They either had dinner in the restaurant of the International Building or ordered food in the room. At two or three o'clock in the morning, He Hongmei always asked Zhang Chen to go back. Only on the last night, He Hongmei and Zhang Chen said, you can sleep Here, but you have to grant me a request.

"What's the request?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I'll go to the airport by myself tomorrow, don't see me off." He Hongmei said, "We'll say goodbye in the hotel."

"Why?"

"For no reason, you just asked me to go to the airport by myself." He Hongmei sighed, "I was afraid that I would be sad when you sent me to the airport. Every time you send me off, I will be sad. When I get to the plane, I'm still... I do not like this."

Zhang Chen looked at her and thought, he would be sad to say goodbye at the airport, but not in the hotel? The place has changed, the people have changed, and the fact of separation has changed? Zhang Chen really didn't know what ideas she would come up with. He said, isn't this just a trick?

"No, Master, you don't understand." He Hongmei said, "If I feel this sad every time, I'm afraid that one day I won't dare to come to Hangzhou again."

"Then tell me, now that we are far apart and no longer living at home, do you feel better?" Zhang Chen asked.

"I don't know." He Hongmei said honestly, "But keeping a distance like this makes me feel that I don't have the pressure to marry you. Without pressure, we can enjoy the time together. Really, I I’m all waiting for you to come, but this waiting is different from before.”

"What's the difference?" Zhang Chen asked.

"It's very complicated." He Hongmei thought for a moment and said slowly: "I don't know if you understand. It turns out that when I wait for you, I need to let myself enter a role first and wait for you in that role. Now, I am just a woman waiting for a woman. The man she needs.”

"There are plenty of men, so this man can be another man?" Zhang Chen asked.

"No, it will be physically repulsive. Didn't I tell you? You are such a pest, so much so that I get goosebumps every time I touch someone else's hands." He Hongmei said.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Is someone holding hands with you?"

"What are you talking about, you?!" He Hongmei said angrily, "I told you, I will be physically repulsed, but there are always some lustful people who like to get involved when talking about work. I They look pretty good, right? There are always some people who are careless and careless. At that time, I just wanted to slap them."

They were discussing similar issues throughout the night, but it made Zhang Chen feel defeated. He felt that the communication was not conducive to further understanding between them and solving the problem, but instead raised more and more questions. The obstacles became more and more confusing to him and made him feel more and more dejected.

Zhang Chen really wanted to be considerate of He Hongmei like Lao Tan said, but the problem was that he didn't even know what He Hongmei needed. He Hongmei couldn't explain it herself, so it was impossible to be considerate. He also wanted to stand in He Hongmei's perspective. Thinking about the problem, the problem is that angle, there is no angle, which makes Zhang Chen feel confused.

He Hongmei said to enjoy the time together, but if when we are together, we just torture each other inexplicably, how can we enjoy it?

There is one point that Lao Tan said that Zhang Chen felt deeply, that is, He Hongmei does have more personality than Xiao Zhao. This happened from the first time she walked into Zhang Chen and their Sijiqing stall, from the first time they drove her Xiali there Zhangjiagang was already revealed when the car was about to take off.

I don't know if He Hongmei has lived alone for a long time. Her whole person seems to be wrapped in a shell, isolating the real her from the outside world.

When the two of them first got together, she really wanted to be like Xiao Zhao and learn to hide her personality like Xiao Zhao to accommodate and obey Zhang Chen. She was very happy and wanted to become the second Xiao Zhao. , but the pressure and grievances this accommodation brought to her made her finally overwhelmed and tired.

She was tired, which actually made Zhang Chen feel nervous and a little tired. He didn't want to compare He Hongmei with Xiao Zhao, but he began to compare her with Xiao Zhao more and more subconsciously. He felt that he was different from Xiao Zhao. The relaxation that Zhao felt when they were together, the feeling of being able to spread one's hands and feet without any precautions was gone.

When he and Xiao Zhao are together, he doesn't have to think about what Xiao Zhao is thinking or what he thinks. There are many things that he seems to know without saying them. Both people are transparent to each other and can be seen clearly at a glance. of.

Being with He Hongmei is another kind of experience. Zhang Chen wants to guess what she thinks, whether she is happy or not, and He Hongmei also secretly looks at him. They look at each other, already frosted, with shadows behind them. , but I just can’t see it clearly.

Zhang Chen didn't go home. When he woke up the next day, it was almost noon. The two of them went to the restaurant to have dinner and hugged each other goodbye in the room.

He Hongmei called a taxi and left.

Zhang Chen drove to the dynamic zone. As soon as he entered the office, Xu Qiaoxin came in and told him that all the information for applying for the establishment of a group company had been completed and submitted. In a week, the business license of the group company would be issued. .

Zhang Chen said yes, thank you for your hard work.

"By the way, how are Li Wei and the others doing?" Zhang Chen asked Xu Qiaoxin.

"Yes, it's growing every day. Now, we can sell more than a hundred pieces of clothing a day."

"Yeah, the growth rate is really fast."

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, you are right about e-commerce. It will be a trend in the future." Xu Qiaoxin said. Zhang Chen didn't ask, so she added: "That Gong Xue continued to buy, but she still ignored him. We, however, every time she receives the goods, she immediately gives a positive review.”

"Is there such a thing?" Zhang Chen was also surprised. A person who didn't even bother to reply to you would have the mood and time to keep commenting well?

At this time, Zhang Chen also thought that this person should be an old acquaintance and related to them in one way or another.

But he really couldn't figure out who this person could be.

Xu Qiaoxin walked out, and Zhang Chen curiously opened the website and took a look. Sure enough, Gong Xue had manually rated every order and Zhang Chen shook his head with a smile.

Zhang Chen's cell phone rang, it was He Hongmei, and he quickly pressed the answer button.

"You bastard, you are just a bastard." As soon as the call came through, He Hongmei cursed on the phone. Zhang Chen's head buzzed. What was going on? Why did you fall out?

He Hongmei then started to cry and said, "You bastard, why aren't you here? Why are you leaving me alone in a place like this?"

Zhang Chen breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was not falling out. He quickly asked: "What's wrong, Hongmei, what's wrong with you? What happened to you?"

He Hongmei continued to cry: "I just miss you. You know, when I walked to the security checkpoint, I suddenly felt so lonely. How could you not be here? I just missed you."

"Okay, I'll be right away. Just wait for me at the security checkpoint."

Zhang Chen stood up as he spoke, ran downstairs, started the car and drove to the airport. When he arrived at the airport, Zhang Chen hurried to the departure hall and the security checkpoint. He looked around, but did not see He Hongmei. , Zhang Chen picked up the phone and dialed He Hongmei's number. The call was connected, and He Hongmei sounded like her mood had returned to normal.

Zhang Chen told her that he was at the security checkpoint now and asked her where she was. He Hongmei said, I have already passed the security check. Master, I'm sorry for causing you to run away. You can go back.

…

The second time she came back, He Hongmei didn't even tell Zhang Chen. She arrived in Hangzhou, booked a room in the International Building, and then called Zhang Chen to tell him that I had arrived.

Zhang Chen’s mother asked Zhang Chen why Hongmei didn’t come back for so long. Did you quarrel?

Zhang Chen said no. The New Year has just passed and everyone is very busy at work. Who has so much time to run around.

Zhang Chen's mother was doubtful and said nothing more.

When he saw He Hongmei again, Zhang Chen told He Hongmei about this. He Hongmei said, when you go to work tomorrow, I will go to see them and Xiao Zhao, and we will have dinner together in the evening.

Zhang Chen said yes.

"By the way, I will tell them that I will arrive tomorrow. Just remember, don't get in trouble."

Zhang Chen said, I'm not stupid.

Another obvious change between them is that when they were together, they rarely talked about marriage, and now they never mentioned it. Zhang Chen gradually understood that the person who was getting farther and farther away was their marriage.

He Hongmei said, there is no pressure to marry you, we can just enjoy the time together.

Zhang Chen didn't know if He Hongmei was enjoying it now, and he didn't know how terrible marriage was, which made He Hongmei dare not touch it, but it seemed that she was very happy with their current situation.

Alas, so be it.
