——[The moonlight still cannot find the shade of the flowers. I wonder how lost time is. It is just ten years of traces and ten years of heart.]
…
Didi.
Jiang Ningyu was just about to turn off the lights and go to bed when a message came on her phone.
【Do you have a cat?】
【[picture]】
It was a WeChat message sent by an intern at the company.
The picture is a photo of a stray cat. An ordinary and thin tabby cat, looking timidly at the camera.
Jiang Ningyu was a little disappointed and lost the desire to reply.
However, since she touched the phone, she clicked into the circle of friends.
A post on Moments that happened to be posted at midnight five minutes ago stole her attention——
"Celebrate your eighteenth birthday and be happy and peaceful at your twentieth! May this long and small life be spent together year by year. Happy birthday, Xiaolin!"
There are two photos attached, one is a photo of three people with a nostalgic filter, and the other is a photo of handsome men and beautiful women.
——From her former college classmate and roommate, Chen Ning.
In just a few minutes, more than a dozen old classmates had liked it, including what she called "Xiao Lin".
[Oops, today is the male god’s birthday~ No wonder our aloof Ning Ning posts on WeChat Moments~]
[I still like the campus love between handsome guys and beauties like you, it’s so eye-catching.]
Friends I know are making fun in the comments.
Jiang Ningyu looked at it for two seconds and then gave it a like.
Because she was in the photo of the three of them.
Although they haven't contacted each other for a long time, there is her in the photo, so just... click on it.
Then she lay on the bed and let her mind wander for a while. She returned to the chat interface, with only the intern's message hanging at the top.
She hesitated again and again, but still replied——
【Not raised.】
It was a very concise two words. I couldn’t pick up the topic, and I had no intention of picking up the topic, but the other party quickly responded as if he was staying by his phone:
[I brought home a stray cat from the community today, but I have no experience in raising cats [sigh]]
【Senior, I won’t raise a cat to death, right?】
As if he didn't feel her coldness, the other party continued to find topics.
Frankly speaking, Jiang Ningyu was a little troubled.
This intern is a college student who is two years younger than her. Jiang Ningyu used to take good care of him, but she has been having some unavoidable troubles recently. The reason is...
This brother seems to be interested in her.
Jiang Ningyu has been working for two years and can be considered a stable translucent person. The work in foreign companies is not that heavy, and she thought she would continue to do it smoothly, but just after the New Year, the superiors suddenly said something - their group was marked
As a key project, there were several new projects to study. So the team was split and reorganized, and she joined a new team of ten people. Because they were all engaged in software engineering, there were only three women, and apart from her, they were all married.
And it was digested internally. The boss was a matchmaker, and he was afraid that when work got busy, Jiang Ningyu, who usually did not like to participate in company activities, would have more excuses, so he sent two interns over the next day, both of whom were celebrities.
After graduating with a master's degree, I was looking for help for them.
The intern brother who follows her has red lips and white teeth, and a shy smile. When he first came to the company, he fascinated the girls on their floor. Frankly speaking, Jiang Ningyu was quite proud of herself at first. This kind of intern
He always has face wherever he goes, and who doesn’t like a younger brother with a clean temperament? What’s more, he’s also her junior.
But within a few days, Jiang Ningyu felt a little overwhelmed——
This brother has such a sense of presence.
When I get up in the morning, he greets me; when I get home from get off work, I have countless topics to talk about, ranging from climate change to having an extra cup of coffee for dinner.
Even during working hours, he would use his work account to share some weird links with her, such as skiing skills, tennis speed lessons, diving knowledge, and funny surfing collections...
Anyway, there is no one she is interested in.
Originally, it was not strange for the intern to be enthusiastic and proactive. After all, her ratings were required to become a full-time employee, so building a closer relationship was not something that people could resist.
But Jiang Ningyu seems to be approachable, but in fact she is very sensitive to the division of boundaries - as a friend, there is no taboo in talking about anything; as a colleague, you need to be more measured when dealing with each other.
When an intern who has just known each other for less than half a month begins to inquire about her personal life, she will occasionally ask questions such as "Have you eaten yet?", "Do you have time to watch a movie on the weekend?", "Do you live alone" during vacation after work?
In sharing his life, how could Jiang Ningyu, who had eaten salt for two more years than him, not feel any difference?
It's a pity that her brother is good-looking, but he is not her cup of tea.
She has a favorite type. It can also be said that she has a specific person she likes.
However, they didn't say it clearly, and Jiang Ningyu couldn't take the initiative to mention it. She could only make her attitude clear with passive and concise replies. But after the past two days, the results were not ideal.
Jiang Ningyu thought for a moment and felt that she had to do something. If she didn't want to do it, she should strangle her lover to death in her infancy. She also had to be responsible for others.
Thinking of this, she suddenly had a bold idea.
This idea made her heartbeat suddenly speed up. She hesitated for a while holding the phone before gritting her teeth and making up her mind - just do it!
Jiang Ningyu replied "I fell asleep", then clicked on the circle of friends again, added a photo from the album collection, then pursed her lips and edited——
【Happy birthday, Yue Se, [cake]】
When she typed this sentence, she felt inexplicably guilty. When choosing who could see it, her hand shook twice before she clicked on the intern's profile picture. Then she quickly finished publishing and slid out of the interface in one go.
call……
As if she had accomplished such a feat, Jiang Ningyu put down her phone and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was silent late at night, and a hint of melancholy gradually creeped into my heart.
The two photos he had just seen flashed across his mind, and some past events surged like flashbacks. For a long time, Jiang Ningyu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She asked herself countless times in her heart but could never get it.
The question of the exact answer emerges again: If I had known more propriety and firmness at that time, would everything have been different?
After a long period of self-emotional struggle, she will become tired. For a long time, Jiang Ningyu closed her eyes tiredly and only silently blessed her in her heart——
"Happy birthday, Lin Xuyue."
After a night of restlessness, I finally felt peaceful at this moment, and even my subsequent dreams became gentle.
She stood in the surging and dreamy violin hall, and everything she looked at was distorted. Searching like a long lens, she looked up and saw a tall figure standing in the distance. Her face could not be seen clearly, but she sighed softly: "Everyone is so strong.
…”
But the man said: "Really? Maybe I don't know the violin. I think they are not as good as you."
——They are not as good as you.
Suddenly there was a buzzing in my ears, very noisy.
Then Jiang Ningyu woke up and realized that her cell phone was ringing.
Looking at the big call from "Li Weiwei" on her phone, and then looking at the time, she answered it sleepily, "What are you doing, harassing me at eight o'clock..."
Before he finished speaking, a roar came from the other side of the phone, "Jiang Ningyu! Are you out of your mind or crazy?! Are you afraid that others won't misunderstand you by posting on Moments like that?!"
The deafening sound made Jiang Ningyu's head buzz and she was a little confused.
What misunderstanding? What circle of friends... circle of friends?
etc!
She was suddenly inspired and clicked on her WeChat.
Let’s look at “Discovery” first, there are 84 new messages.
Looking at "Chat" again, I glanced at several familiar avatars.
A hint of bad anticipation flashed through her heart, and Jiang Ningyu clicked into her circle of friends with trembling hands.
【Happy birthday, Yue Se, [cake]】
The accompanying picture shows a handsome boy wearing a birthday hat, lowering his eyebrows and smiling while making a wish.
There were so many likes and comments that she didn't dare to read carefully. She clicked several times with trembling before opening the block list——
【Intern Che】
When the lonely head came into view, Jiang Ningyu's eyes suddenly turned dark, and her face turned ashen.
It's over.
Some of the visible points are not visible to anyone.
