Her eyes widened in disbelief, her thick and slender eyelashes trembled, and then she saw clearly the cold man in front of the elevator.
He held a cigarette between his fingers, and circles of smoke filled the air. The smell of nicotine was dangerous and charming.
Silently, he blew out a smoke ring, a trace of impatience appeared on his handsome face, and his thin lips curled up slightly, seemingly angry but not angry, "Speak!"
Two words, indifference, alienation, as intimidating as ice cubes
The voice is low and hoarse, and full of magnetism, but it contains turbulence that makes people shudder, and also invisibly repels people thousands of miles away.
In fact... they seem to be really, really far away from each other.
Suddenly realizing this, You Tong suddenly woke up again. She took a deep breath, clenched her fists slightly, and then loosened them again. After going back and forth twice, she finally bravely asked the question that had been bothering her for many days.
"The deal between us...is it over?!"
Rong Yuchi's eyebrows frowned for a moment, obviously displeased.
You Tong waited with bated breath, like a prisoner about to go to the execution ground. Fear and panic, tension and urgency, and conflicting emotions were intertwined. He didn't know if he was expecting more positive answers or more negative answers, or
...I don’t know if it’s better
But the next second, he gave the answer
He calmed his mind and said every word authentically, "The equity transfer document was handled by the Finance Department. You should know my current worth. The loss I suffered when I let Li go is nothing."
Rong Yuchi's voice sounded a little abnormal, not like the emphasis he usually spoke. It was a charming bass, with a hint of clarity in the low tone. It was as cool as ever, but more of it was meaningless and frivolous.
Even so carelessly, as if whether it ends or not means nothing to him.
You Tong suddenly paused, and subconsciously clenched his lips. After a while, he spoke with difficulty, "Okay, I understand...President."
She suddenly discovered that it was so difficult to call out the word "president". It was like an iron gate, blocking all her emotions from the door of her heart. Her heart seemed to be divided into two halves.
Half inside, half outside the door
Inside the door is her heartbeat when she looked at his back that year, their happy days in the small fishing village, their dreamy time in Edinburgh, his countless notes for her that were plastered all over the room, his agreement with her
Adopt a puppy and call it Rong Xiaochi
Outside the door, there is a hard fact - the transaction is over, everything is over
Rong Yuchi raised his hand and took another puff from the cigarette. The smoke rose, hiding his expression, but his dark eyes could not distinguish his emotions. It was cold, but it made people feel very strange.
Time seemed to stand still and the air seemed to be solid. You Tong suddenly felt that there was not enough oxygen, so he turned around and was about to leave, but behind him he suddenly said, "Wait!"
You Tong's footsteps stopped suddenly. Even she herself didn't understand why she stopped. Did she still have any expectations?! It shouldn't be! It really shouldn't be!
But she still turned her head like a ghost, and in a blink of an eye she saw Rong Yuchi standing in front of the elevator. There was a silver-white vertical lamp above his head, and the bright light shone on him. He was tall and handsome, but at this moment he was
The man with no expression at all and exuding a cold aura didn't even raise his eyes and said directly to her, "I'll take you back!"
You Tong suddenly smiled, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, shook his head, and said in a whisper, "No need, I know the way myself."
Know...where she should go
"President, goodbye." After saying this, You Tong pretended to be calm and turned around to leave.
When the glass door slowly opened with her footsteps, the empty environment became more and more depressing, and even the transparent glass exuded a lonely luster.
When her figure completely disappeared, Rong Yuchi slowly raised his head and extended his gaze with gloomy eyes.
The face is covered with sinister birds of prey, making the air freeze and become frosty
The cigarette between my fingers did not take another puff, and was allowed to burn to the end until it was hot to the touch.
Walking quickly to the parking lot, Haruka unlocked the car door, bent down and sat in, started the engine skillfully, and the car flew out like an arrow. He manipulated the steering wheel tightly with both hands, as if he wanted to grab something. His fingers were straight and slender.
, the joints are clear, except for a black watch on the left wrist, there are no other decorations on the whole hands. The simple style suddenly seems empty at this moment.

You Tong left the company, went to the nearest bus stop, got into a car with not many people, and leaned his head on the back of the chair weakly.
Suddenly, the mobile phone in her bag rang. Her vision was hazy, and she could only vaguely see two words jumping on the screen - Mom
"Hey..." As soon as he opened his mouth, his voice was choked with sobs.
"Xiaotong, it was your birthday a few days ago. Mom forgot about it. I'm sorry," Zhao Wanhua said guiltily.
"It's okay, mom has remembered it," You Tong deceived himself and said to comfort Zhao Wanhua.
"Xiaotong, are you free tonight? Mommy, would you like to take you out for a late-night snack? Think of it as mommy celebrating your birthday!"
You Tong covered her mouth, not wanting her fragile voice to leak out. She paused and then spoke slowly, "Mom, I will work overtime tonight, another day."
Sorry, Mom, I want to be alone tonight
The bus swayed as it drove through the streets of Taipei, with flashing neon lights, beautiful but cold.
One person, one heart, waiting for a lifetime
A person, a city, and his distressed
One person, one road, lonely life
For some reason, I suddenly remembered a sentence from a certain book - Falling in love with a city is probably because someone you love lives here.
Taipei, I don’t want to love you

The next day, You Tong walked into Rong Chen's office with an envelope in his hand, "Director, I've thought about it. I'm applying for transfer to the Tainan branch. I hope you can approve it."
