The relationship between them is far from as complicated as Jian Anran previously imagined.
After submitting the divorce agreement, Jian Anran met Wen Siheng in the office every day without looking up or down. The other party still maintained his usual demeanor, and no one else could see any difference in attitude.
On the other hand, Xiangyi didn't know if he noticed something. When he saw Wen Siheng and Jian Anran appearing in the same frame, his expression was strange for a while, and he hesitated to speak several times when there was no one else in the office.
Jian Anran was already prepared to answer truthfully if she asked questions at the beginning, but in the end Xiangyi still couldn't ask anything.
The time for the bidding meeting was imminent. Mi Yingying didn't even know where to go to print out a large A2 calendar, and used a red marker to greatly circle the deadline on it.
Crossing off a day from the calendar after one day inevitably reminds everyone of the painful memories of the last 100-day sprint in the senior year of high school.
The pressure was so great that even Song Qi couldn't help but start running to the open space behind the department building to smoke secretly. He thought that the pressure was not so great last year when his graduation was postponed due to force majeure.
This is Song Qi’s last project as a student, and it is probably the first project that is expected to be implemented as a student. It is also the first serious architectural work since the establishment of Wen Siheng Studio.
The two projects I took on before were either curating exhibitions or helping others with interior design.
For a studio that specializes in architectural design, no matter how famous and influential the above projects are, they will not have much impact on the development prospects of architecture.
Repeating mechanical drawing operations on the computer, the thoughts in Jian Anran's head easily drifted to the sky.
This Ludao project has a feeling that success or failure depends on one move.
She felt that their studio was now like a noble girl entering the social season for the first time in Europe in the 19th century. Her first appearance at the dinner party determined the direction of her future life's social life and even her marriage.
Until twelve o'clock in the morning, the office was still buzzing with a symphony of keyboard tapping and mouse clicks.
The spirit was highly excited and the body was extremely tired, "Didi——", the watch vibrated twice, reminding Jian Anran to get up and walk.
After experiencing several previous incidents of outsiders breaking into the teaching building and intentionally injuring people, the college has specially allocated funds to add access control under the architecture department building where students often stay up all night.
Personal safety has been fully guaranteed, and the long and dark corridor in the building is naturally not a big problem for a staunch atheist like Jian Anran.
The elevator went down to the first floor, and Jian Anran searched up and down, only to find that the beverage vending machines in the center of the lobby on the first floor were almost completely sold out, with only a peach-flavored soda left.
Peach is her favorite fruit, and soda is her favorite drink, but when these two are put together, Jane Anran inexplicably loses interest in them completely.
The corridors on both sides of the Architecture Department building connect the two teaching buildings on the left and right. During the day, students from other departments often pass by on the first floor, so the vending machines here sometimes have to refill drinks two or three times a day.
Go around to the back of the department building and face the parking lot. There are several vending machines. Although it is a bit of a detour, here is a drink machine that only architecture students know about. There is plenty of drink left in it.
.
The wind started to get stronger at night. As soon as I walked out of the office door, I heard a whistling wind in the building. When I walked to the elevated floor behind the department building, Jian Anran began to face the wind that was blowing up at night.
"The moon haloes the wind at noon."
Looking up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, the halo of the moon hidden by clouds loomed in the night sky, Jian Anran had to sigh that the experience gained by the ancients was not unreasonable.
On the way back after buying coffee, I vaguely heard the sound of distant voices carried by the wind.
"Here, your midnight snack."
When she got closer, Jian Anran could vaguely see two figures, one tall and one short, in the dark night.
There are almost no vehicles staying overnight in the parking lot behind the department building at night. It is sparsely populated and there are not too many street lights. And because they are at a certain distance, Jian Anran cannot clearly see the two people opposite.
It's just that it's a bit strange to be in this place at this time.
Are you a student? Logically, the entrance to the dormitory building is already closed at this time. If you are a teacher, why are you showing up on campus so late? A tryst?
Smelling a hint of gossip, curiosity drove Jian Anran to try hard to see clearly the faces of the two people opposite.
"Could it be someone you know?" Jian Anran whispered to herself.
Two figures were leaning against the door of a red sports car. The car was like a treasure bag. The shorter figure who looked like a girl kept taking something out of the car and stuffing it into the man's hand.
.
"Have you been too busy recently, your schedule has been irregular, and your food has not been delicious?" The girl's tone seemed to contain a hint of blame, but in fact it was also a bit coquettish.
"This is the soup I stewed, be careful not to spill it."
"This bag is some ready-to-eat health products. I know you find it troublesome. You can drink these directly after opening them. Don't forget..."
"Also, it's getting colder and colder recently. Please take this blanket..."
Before the girl could finish speaking, the boy immediately said, "That's enough."
The girl's figure was slightly startled, and she leaned against the car and froze for a while. She ignored it and got back into the car and took out a large bag of things.
"It's filled with biscuits, chocolates and the like. I know you don't like eating it, but when you're hungry, you can take it out first to fill your stomach. It's better than going hungry."
"Don't you know I'm married?"
As soon as the boy's explosive remarks came out, Jian Anran, who was eavesdropping, quickly hid behind the pillar.
What is she seeing now? Students rarely get married so early, right?
Could this be the scene of a university teacher’s extramarital affair?
Originally, she just wanted to listen briefly out of curiosity, but when she heard that the conversation seemed to be getting more and more dramatic (drama), Jian Anran immediately regretted eavesdropping on other people's privacy.
However, if you walked directly through the elevated corridor in front of you, it would be difficult for the other party not to notice her presence and the fact that she had just eavesdropped all the way.
Almost with a cry, it took the girl a moment to squeeze out a few words: "Of course I know."
"Your marriage certificate is hanging in the entrance hall like this. It's really hard for me not to know. Every time I go to your house, your father mentions it again and again. Every time I hear it, my heart almost breaks.
Already."
Wait? The marriage certificate hangs in the entrance hall? Why does the direction of this story seem familiar?
