Chapter 10

The decoration of Lu Shijun's home is completely standard for a business person, with exquisite furniture and electrical appliances of the same brand. The post-industrialized concise layout matches the geographical location on the upper nine floors. unexpected.

Since it was a working day, Lu Shijun hired a moving company to pack her luggage to her home.After returning home at night, Zhong Shuli began to pack his luggage into the guest room one by one.Although the skills of making beds and folding quilts are not superb, he can handle them well. On the contrary, Lu Shijun could only look at him with his arms folded and asked, "What's for dinner?"

Although he answered "just eat whatever you want", Zhong Shuli was quite surprised when the hot food was presented from Lu Shijun's hands.He took a sip or two, and the taste was pretty good. He smiled and said, "When did you learn to cook? I remember I sent you to master-class. Did you transfer to New Oriental?"

"Although Gao Jing paid her tuition fees, she had to rely on herself for food and clothing in the United States. At that time, I worked in the Chinese restaurant downstairs and learned a little bit by ear."

Zhong Shuli was never short of money when he was alone in a foreign country, but he had a taste of the embarrassing days a few years ago, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart: "If you work in a Chinese restaurant, you should be able to get rid of the habit of eating fried chicken all day long." It's a shadow."

"No. Chinese restaurants are extremely expensive, and one meal can cover half a month's food expenses, so even though it's disgusting, sometimes I have to buy a chicken nugget on the way to work. After entering LS, I still struggle all day long. In the question of whether to apply for 'relief money', instant noodles and toast, the adrenaline soars when you think of it..." Lu Shijun stopped abruptly, he couldn't tell the other party, and he had to drink a big pot before he got off work on Friday The company’s coffee is good to go home and stay up all night fighting, Xiao Zai, who shares the rent, goes out on a trip and can’t afford the firefighting expenses. If it catches fire, he doesn’t even have to report to the police. Beating... At that time, I never thought that anyone would save me. After gritting my teeth and persevering, I still found it unbearable.

He looked at Zhong Shuli, who was scrupulously sandwiching rice to cover up his emotions, and remembered that no matter how hard it was, he never gave up on himself like before he met him.He said: "Don't think too much, I'm doing well. The life I finally earned was given to me by you, and I have always cherished it."

The bowl in Zhong Shuli's hand began to shake, and finally fell on the table.The forehead with his left hand was not in the shadow, and the veins on his hand appeared and disappeared: "I'm sorry."

Lu Shijun put a piece of pork ribs in his bowl, and said patiently: "Don't do this, going to the United States is my own choice. After working in LS for a year, the situation has improved, and I can afford it with a promotion and salary increase. It’s rice. A friend of mine named Xiao Zai was promoted by his director’s father, and finally had the opportunity to be transferred back to China. By the way, I’m currently in charge of the Jize Alumni Foundation’s draft review, and your proposal has passed the preliminary review.”

Zhong Shuli smiled bluntly: "Really? Those students have been complaining about why I don't borrow the brains of the creative director of LS. If I knew it, I should have colluded with the insiders earlier."

"Boss, can you bind a document for me?"

"Here we come. Hey, it's Sijie." Zhong Shuli walked towards the printer, took the staples and wrapping paper, the stapler snapped the edge of the paper twice, and the wrapping paper overlapped the paper along the spine , Then glued it dry, and he sent the information to Lu Sizjie.

Lu Sijie looked at the deserted shop and asked, "Boss, recently automatic printers have been set up everywhere in the school. How is your business?"

"It's okay. There are fewer people coming to print, and I can leave work earlier. When the contract with the outside tutoring organization expires this year, I will take over the store."

"Are you going out of business?"

"I can't stay in the printing shop all the time. Two years is probably the limit of the holiday." Looking at the other party's slightly regretful expression, he smiled again: "Anyway, there is more than one printing shop in the school, and it doesn't matter if there is one less. "

Lu Sijie looked down at the documents, her frowning brows were hidden in her fine bangs, she got up and said goodbye after finishing the documents.

Zhong Shuli watched her walk out of the door, but was blocked by a boy.

Lu Sijie frowned and said, "Why are you here?"

The other party smelled of alcohol, and turned his body from time to time: "I, I squatted under your dormitory for a long time, and followed you all the way here."

"What are you following me for?" Her tone immediately cooled down, "Why do you drink so much wine in broad daylight?"

"I, Sijie, let's make up." The boy suddenly grabbed her hand and began to cry.Zhong Shuli glanced at the door, hesitating whether to join this campus love drama.

"Slap." I don't know what the two of them said, the boy suddenly straightened up and slapped Lu Sijie on the face, cursing angrily: "□□, I dare to set up a dyeing workshop if I give you some color."

Lu Sijie was caught off guard, she broke free from his grip and yelled angrily: "Gao Muming, we broke up a month ago, what else do you want?"

"Break up? Your photo is still in my phone, how dare you talk to me like that?" As he spoke, he raised his hand and threw it at the other person's face, but was pinched by the other hand in mid-air, and then his hand was turned back Xiang twisted to his back, his shoulders were burning with pain.

A voice sounded from the back: "You love to stalk, I have nothing to say; but what is the difference between you and scum if you do something to a woman?"

He was a little awake from the pain, and when he turned his head to see Zhong Shuli, his flushed face instantly turned pale.

"Take out the phone from him." Zhong Shuli ordered.

As if waking up from a dream, Lu Sijie immediately stepped forward and took out her cell phone from his pocket.Seeing that the mobile phone was taken away, the boy looked at Zhong Shuli viciously, and suddenly broke free from the restraints, and greeted him in the face with a punch.Zhong Shuli took half a step back, grabbed his fist with his left hand, and threw his right fist at his stomach. The opponent had already drunk and fell to the ground under the impact.Zhong Shuli grabbed his hand, unlocked the fingerprint of the phone, looked at the other person covering his stomach, and said indifferently: "It seems that the barbaric methods of the Germans have been effective for 200 years. Don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, your dirty There will be no serious problems. If you do it again next time, I will give you the chance to choose a few ribs."

The boy scolded: "Gao Shuli, you bastard, you will die badly. Why do you even want to snatch the person you like from me?"

Zhong Shuli looked at the other party, it seemed that the other party should know him, but he didn't have the slightest impression - if he was a student who often came to the printing shop, his face would always be familiar, but this dusty face seemed to be similar to his own. There is a sworn hatred.

Lu Sijie was trembling all over, flipping through the photo album at the side, selecting a few times with trembling fingers before finishing.He squatted down and stepped on the boy's back, twisted the other's arm, and said to her: "Check the online disk and social accounts, and make sure that the information is all deleted."

Lu Sijie looked at the other party's quiet face, as if she had some support, tears flowed down unscrupulously, after checking for a long time, she handed the phone to Zhong Shuli, and said, "It should be gone."

Zhong Shuli said: "It doesn't matter if he has other backups. If he dares to pass on us, we will call the police. The two-year prison sentence for spreading pornographic materials is not affordable for ordinary students." He picked up the people on the ground , said to Lu Sijie: "He hit you just now, do you want to return it as usual?"

Lu Sijie glanced at the other party, and finally shook her head: "Forget it, he's too drunk and his mind is not clear, let him go."

The boy clutched his belly and staggered away. Zhong Shuli wanted to ask about the origin of this person, but he glanced at the girl's miserable appearance, and walked into the store without saying a word.

"He's my ex-boyfriend," a crying explanation sounded behind him, "He's a senior, and his name is Gao Muming. We broke up a month ago. At that time, I haven't come to you to participate in the competition. In the past half month, he also Just send text messages to harass me, I didn't expect this to happen today."

"I see. Go back and have a good rest." He stood at the door and replied.

"Also, thank you." Lu Sijie hastily added.

A few days later, when the news came that the competition had won the bid, Zhong Shuli was not surprised. A group of students got the bonus and clamored happily to celebrate.But he couldn't refuse, so he had to explain the situation to Lu Shijun, and drove the students back to school after eating.

The boys generally drank too much, Zhong Shuli and the girls supported each other before sending them back to the dormitory.

Just when she was about to part ways with the girls, Lu Sijie suddenly said: "Oh, boss, I'm sorry, my power bank seems to have been left in your car."

Zhong Shuli was about to say that she could help pick it up, so she said to her partner, "Then you go up first. The boss and I will go look for it in the car."

The two walked in the dimly lit night, and Xia Chan, who was just beginning to sing, pierced the damp air hysterically, and she said, "Mr. Zhong, I'm sorry, my charging treasure is in the bag, and it wasn't in your car. Hmm , can you accompany me to the playground?"

Zhong Shuli usually comes to the playground for jogging. When he realized that the endless playground is a hotbed of cheap and promiscuous invitations, it was at this moment that he slowed down and looked at the men and women holding hands and hugging in the dark, and he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

The other party seemed to have noticed this, and desperately tried to find something to say to make up for the dislocation between the two: "Boss, LS will give every member of our team an internship opportunity. You are going to change jobs anyway. Have you ever thought about developing in the advertising industry?"

"No. I'm not interested in the advertising industry now. First, I can't make money. Second, "He lowered his head and looked at the little girl earnestly," Zi said: "Smart words make you look ugly. I don't like it."

"Really, has the boss thought about what to do in the future? What do the family think?" Lu Sijie pursed her lips, thankful that the lighting in the playground was not good.

"Think about it, maybe I will find a [-]-to-[-] job. My family will not interfere with my decision."

Three or four seconds later, a female voice rang out: "Then what do you think of your girlfriend or wife?"

"Probably at this age, I should start a family, but I became single again not long ago, so I don't have to care about the other half's plan."

"Bang bang, bang bang—" Lu Sijie's ears were burning hot, and she was worried that her heartbeat would be heard.

"You are still young, and you probably think that falling in love and getting married are things that will come naturally in the future, but I, who almost went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register twice, found that all this is not so easy, nor is it so difficult. How can I explain it to you? ? I once liked someone for almost four years, thinking that I could completely erase the other person from my life, but in the end I found out that I was just deceiving myself."

"Why aren't you with the person you like?"

She looked at the faint mist in his eyes, his statue-like outline was like marble being repeatedly scratched, and he said: "When I found myself falling in love with him, he almost died in front of me."

Although she didn't understand, she didn't ask. She raised her head and complained about the bumpy runway under reconstruction.It is like the pages of a book that were unintentionally folded by the wind, and finally smoothed by it gently, leaving only faint creases.

After walking around for a few laps, she heard someone called "Zhong Shuli" in front of her. After looking at it for a while, she recognized the LS director who often came to browse the Internet, and saw the people around her brows and eyes said to her kindly: "Sorry, My friend is here to look for me, excuse me first." She stood there, watching them become the most ordinary couple in the crowded playground.
