A person has become accustomed to it. She orders a dumpling and watches the Spring Festival Gala. When the host announces the countdown, she turns off the TV and goes to sleep. This day is very ordinary, no different from usual.
Zhou Ming: "I made an appointment with a few friends this year for a self-driving trip. We walked along the provincial road. It was more free and casual. Do you want to participate? I just want to introduce a few friends to you."
When everyone in the office heard Zhou Ming's words, they immediately started cheering.
"Zhou Lv has the means."
"As soon as Zhou Lu takes action, he will know if there is any."
"Tinglan, please agree to go together. Zhou Lu's friends are all elites in the industry, so it's not a bad idea to get to know them."
Zhou Ming's words were very instructive and ambiguous. Shu Tinglan smiled and refused.
"No, Teacher Zhou, I get carsick. Don't turn around and puke all over your car. It would be too disappointing."
"Tsk tsk, Tinglan is still good at talking. She should refuse clearly."
Shu Tinglan doesn't want to cause any scandal in the law firm. She just wants to work seriously and strive to be able to take on independent projects and make money as soon as possible.
Zhou Ming was not angry and continued happily: "Whoever wants to participate in our self-driving tour can sign up at any time. There is only one quota."
Everyone laughed it off and didn't take this incident seriously. After all, they were all very busy.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and it was officially a holiday on New Year's Eve. Lin Zhiqian flew back to his hometown that day, and spent the night before trying hard to get Shu Tinglan to go back to his hometown with her to celebrate the New Year.
"No, say hello to my uncle and aunt for me."
"You really don't want to go home with me? My parents have asked me several times to take you back this time."
"Let's wait until next time. I'm a little tired this year and don't want to move. I'll take advantage of the holidays to take a good rest. I'll be very busy after work."
"Okay, whatever you want. Anyway, when I go back to my house, I just listen to my parents nagging me to get married and have children, which is very annoying. I will try my best to come back as early as possible to be with you."
Senzhou, a big city with a population of tens of millions, is mostly composed of outsiders. After the Spring Festival, Senzhou becomes a ghost town. Everything is deserted, and there are almost no cars on the road.
In previous years, Shu Tinglan always ordered takeout for New Year's Eve dinner, but this year, because of Zhuo Yu'an, her kitchen was no longer just a decoration, but had a hint of fireworks. On a whim, she could go to the supermarket to buy some vegetables and watch tutorials online.
Just learn to do it, she thought, it wouldn't be difficult.
However, she soon regretted it, because when the high-pitched voice of the Spring Festival Gala host came, her kitchen was still in a mess.
She obviously made the tomatoes and eggs according to the online teaching materials, but why was there only one red piece in the bowl and she couldn't tell which one was the egg and which one was the tomato?
Why is the rice she made raw?
Why are the braised pork ribs so black and charcoal-like?
The tutorial was obviously very simple for her, and it was also very simple for Zhuo Yuan to do it on a regular basis.
What's worse is that the sink is clogged, cutting boards, pots and pans, none of them are good, they are piled on the countertop in a mess, and she has no idea what to do with them.
The lively singing and dancing on TV made her feel even more embarrassed at the moment. It was the first time she realized that she was so incompetent. She was very hungry because she hadn't eaten at noon. She had been busy shopping in the supermarket and hadn't had a drop of water yet. She was also very tired and exhausted.
She tried her best. She used a knife and fork to cut open the black ribs, thinking that even if she took one bite, it wouldn't be so uncomfortable.
But after cutting it open, I found that the inside was still red and stained with blood. I couldn't eat it at all. I couldn't control my emotions instantly. I collapsed. I curled up on the sofa and wanted to cry.
For the first time in her life, the festival made her feel miserable, even worse than when she came out to live alone in the first year.
The sound of keys opening the door came from behind. Who would come to her house at this time? Lin Zhiqian went back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year, and Zhuo Yuan also went home to spend the New Year with his family. Could it be a thief? Wasn't it because she wasn't miserable enough? She was shocked and confused.
Angry, he stood behind the door with a wrench and wanted to fight to the death with the other party.
