Chapter 13, Getting Fired
Thanks to that damned neurosis, I was in a terrible mood. I leaned on the chair like a dead body. The more I tried to adjust my breathing and relax, the more irritable I became, and my head hurt, and I ended up staying in the office for too long. For a while, I felt that I was going to die, so I had to pack up my things and run out as if to escape.
I called Shen Yan on the way, but no one answered, I tried again, but it was still busy, so I didn't call a third time.I know he might be busy, or... forget it or don't want to.Many things can't really be thought about.
The taxi stopped at the gate of the community, I got out of the car and walked in, saw the convenience store downstairs, and remembered that Shen Yan had mentioned in the morning that he wanted to buy salt and eggs.He has been living with me during this period of time, and the food at home is consumed quickly.
Unexpectedly, there were quite a lot of people queuing up to check out at this time. I was not in a hurry anyway, so I just waited slowly in the queue.When he came out ten minutes later, he just received a call from Shen Yan.
I don't know if he was afraid of me thinking too much or something else, but he explained that he was so busy all day that he finally had a chance to catch his breath.
"When do you get off work?" I asked him standing on the edge of the steps.
"It's already out, and it will take 10 minutes if there is no traffic jam." Shen Yan said with a smile, "What, miss me?"
"Yes." I also laughed.
I was not in a hurry to go upstairs, anyway, he will arrive soon, so I simply waited for him downstairs.
Not far from the driveway opposite the convenience store, there is a small activity area, which is usually occupied by the elderly and children, but now it's dark, and there are no people.
I chose a bench by the street lamp and sat down.The lights were dim, and the night wind was strong. The remaining leaves on the tree were blown rustlingly. Occasionally, a few pieces fell off.
I stared at it blankly, as if I was in the scene of a horror movie, with flickering light above my head, the sound of wind whimpering in my ears, the chill crawled up my skin through my clothes, and my already tense nerves became more and more twisted into hemp ropes.I had to turn away from the wind and light a cigarette.
A little dull.
Shen Yan's car appeared at the gate.He drives the white Audi I bought for my birthday the year before last.I just like that model, but I hardly drive it myself. Over time, Shen Yan became my full-time driver.
I stamped out the unfinished cigarette, picked up my things and followed, and stood by the side waiting for Shen Yan to park the car.Before he saw me, he got out of the car and locked the door, bent over and patted his face in the mirror, and tidied his hair again.
I looked at him amusedly, and called him when I saw that he was about to leave, Shen Yan suddenly turned her head, the smile on her face looked a little embarrassed: "Xiaojing, you didn't go up?"
He had already walked back while he was talking, took the bag from my hand and carried it, and stretched out his hand to brush my hair that was blown by the wind, and blamed him: "It's cooling down again today, the wind is so strong, why don't you go up and wait?"
I rubbed my hands and said I didn't wait long.The two of them stepped into the elevator, watching Shen Yan secretly change hands, I couldn't help feeling amused, and reminded him: "It's so heavy, it's better to put it on the ground."
Shen Yan looked at me with an expression of joking, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes sparkling, and she seemed to be in a good mood, she raised her chin at me and said, "Look at your husband, that's all!" thing."
In fact, there are quite a lot of things. There are more than a dozen cans of beer and rice in the bag, which are all heavy things.But he wants to be brave, and I can't expose it. I just smiled and said that I still have a few things, and I bought them together if I knew it.
"Don't be in a hurry, it's the same when we go to the supermarket to buy it on the weekend." Shen Yan said solemnly.
I just like to see him want to slap himself in the face after being brave, obviously he is also a man in his thirties, but sometimes I still think he is like a child, he will act like a baby to me, and use his beautiful longing eyes Look at me, wait for me to appease you.
"By the way, why didn't you reply to the text message I sent you this afternoon, are you busy today?" Shen Yan asked me suddenly.
"It's a bit busy."
I folded my hands and leaned against the elevator.In fact, I can hardly remember what I did in the middle of the afternoon. I seemed to be very irritable, and then I even had a fight with psychosis.
I did receive Shen Yan's text message. He told me not to be too busy and remember to rest.
Shen Yan looked at me, reached out and touched my right brow, and asked me: "Are you unhappy? Did something happen?"
I shook my head: "It's okay. I'm just a little tired."
"You just look unhappy." Shen Yan put his arms behind his back and hugged me, "Don't try to hide it from me, your eyes say everything. What's wrong?"
"It's okay. At work, I can't draw anything, and I have no inspiration." I turned my head and smiled at him, and my eyes fell on the corner of his mouth, looking at him steadily.
Shen Yan subconsciously raised her hand to wipe it there, and asked me uncertainly, "Is there nothing, I just looked in the mirror."
"Your mouth is rotten."
Shen Yan leaned towards the elevator door, took a photo of the shiny door panel, stepped back and gave me a ambiguous smile, and deliberately said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Jing, don't you feel sorry for me, I'm angry."
"Really? It's still hot in winter." I teased him.
He smiled cheekily: "It has nothing to do with autumn and winter, as long as I get close to you, I will get angry easily."
"From what you mean, I made you anxious to get angry?" I was also amused by Shen Yan, "May I ask what happened to you?"
"I don't care, Xiaojing, you have to help me put out the fire you lit."
I smiled and leaned towards him, brushed his face with my lips as if there was nothing, and kissed him heavily under his agitating eyes, but I didn't retreat in a hurry, but asked him in his ear: "So, can you set fire to it?"
Shen Yan wrapped his arms around my waist, pulled me heavily into his arms, smiled, and kissed me hard on the mouth, while the kiss became vague and obscene: "My husband will teach me now." How did you get angry..."
My scalp was numb from his kiss, and my feet were so soft that I could hardly stand up, so I could only hang on him weakly by the posture of him hugging me.His broad palm caressed my waist, and then went all the way down.
"No!" The sliver of clarity in me made me grab his hand, "No in the elevator."
Shen Yan didn't insist on it, he squeezed me with a lot of interest, supported my waist again, tossed and kissed for a while, finally let me go, and pressed the door open button before the elevator door opened and closed.
"You go in first, and I'll be back soon after I go downstairs to buy something."
"buy what?"
But I knew it when I saw his eyes.There were some things he wanted to buy left at home, but I threw away the rest after using up half of them the day before yesterday.Knowing what to do with him later, my old face couldn't help but feel a little hot, and I took something from his hand and walked out without saying anything.
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I ran into Mr. Qi who was on the same floor. I met him a few times when I went in and out, and I knew him. He nodded and smiled when we met.
"It's time to get off work, Mr. Zhou."
"Yes, I just came back, do you want to go out?" I was in a good mood.
It's just that when he suddenly noticed the strange blood on Mr. Qi's face, he immediately felt a little embarrassed.Just now Shen Yan hesitated to let go, the elevator door opened for a while, Mr. Qi probably saw everything.
Mr. Qi nodded in embarrassment, walked past me, walked a few steps and remembered something, then turned around and called me: "Mr. Zhou."
I still stood still and asked him with a smile: "What's the matter?"
"It's not me. Fortunately, Mr. Zhou came back early today. Your brother has been waiting for you here for a long time. I asked him to go to my house and he refused. But I don't know if he left now."
"My brother?"
The temples throbbed extremely in response to the occasion, and then again, the mood that had just improved was like being poured with a pot of ink, sticky and cold.
I accidentally shivered.
"You mean my brother? When?"
Probably because my complexion suddenly turned bad, Mr. Qi looked at me worriedly, then smiled awkwardly, and said: "He said his surname is Zhou, and he came to see his brother... I thought it was Mr. Zhou, you... I'm sorry , did I misunderstand something and caused you trouble?"
"No, no," I cheered up, thanked Mr. Qi, and watched him enter another elevator and go downstairs. The fake smile on my face couldn't hold back, and I collapsed instantly.
I don't want to see that person.I don't want to see you again in this life.But I didn't expect him to come to me.And he still has the face to come to the door.
When Zhou Yue sent me photos with an unfamiliar number, he also sent me a sentence for free. He said, brother, you will never know how much I love him.
Now he came to my door and told people that he came to see me, which is not bad, he came to see me, but it was for others, for Shen Yan.
He said that he loves Shen Yan, I can't deny it, otherwise how can I believe that such a good person can be so shameless.
