"No." He replied firmly, then paused and said to her, "Don't think about it after it's over. I won't involve you no matter what."
Jiang Ningyu seemed to be dazed and asked casually, "Can't you think about your own affairs?"
A few seconds of silence.
She seemed to have woken up again and said in embarrassment, "Ah, I'm a little sleepy. I have to get up early for a meeting tomorrow."
The man on the other side of the screen didn't express anything special. He nodded, raised his hand and made a "bye" gesture to her, "Okay, I'm going to sleep too."
Then turned off the video.
Jiang Ningyu lay back on the bed again and quickly texted him:
【I am very happy today, good night.】
Then he murmured to himself, "I'm so happy...it's been full of twists and turns."
The phone buzzed with a reply.
【OK, good night】
Suddenly I felt really happy.
The long day that seemed to have lasted half a season finally came to an end. Jiang Ningyu stared at the ceiling and thought about what she had just done, and her sighs echoed throughout the room.
"Oh! It's so tea..."
…
[Today is the birthday of a big boss in our team. His girlfriend actually ordered more than 300 cupcakes. I was lucky enough to try one. Everyone said his girlfriend loved it so much hahaha!]

[I’m really attentive. I just finished a meeting and today is pasta day. I’m wondering whether to eat ramen noodles or noodles. 】
[There is actually a festival like Noodle Day? Is there biangbiang noodles?
[Yes. We have pasta day every Wednesday. I have eaten it before and it tastes good. If you are interested, I will bring you to try it next time.]

[Today is the first day of learning to make latte art... I failed and only became this heart [crying]]

[It’s not bad. I’ll try fancy coffee next time, now that I’m used to American style coffee.]
…
[Tonight our company’s Frisbee final is temporarily short of someone, so I was asked to fill in the number.]
【Is your foot okay?】
【Good morning!】
【Then I wish you success.】
On the way to the football field, Jiang Ningyu looked through the recent chat with Lin Xuyue, feeling both frustrated and happy.
What's disappointing is that she takes the initiative to find topics most of the time. What's nice is that he also shares in his passive responses.
Anyway, everything is going in the right direction.
After arriving at the venue, Jiang Ningyu got acquainted with everyone and then started to warm up.
Frisbee is one of the most popular activities in company clubs. On weekdays, registration for solitaire is very lively, but during the competition season, many people become timid and decline the invitation with one or other self-effacing reasons.
Jiang Ningyu didn't want to come at first, but the boss of their group was the president, so he appointed her, a salted fish who rarely participated in activities. Firstly, it gave the boss face, and secondly, the boss said that the team she joined was all
She is a fitness general, and just three 190-meter tall men will win half the battle, as long as she can start the competition. So she came with the mentality of simply competing for the top spot.
After I arrived, I realized that I was basically unfamiliar with many of my colleagues. I had only met each other before. However, everyone was very supportive. Anyone who caught the Frisbee would burst into cheers and applause from the sidelines.
Among the four teams in the finals, Jiang Ningyu found that their team was the tallest and tallest. The three muscular men standing there made their opponents look smaller.
The game also went very smoothly. It was so smooth that most of the time she only had to run a few symbolic steps and cheer and applaud her teammates for their steals and scores.
However, towards the end, a strong-fitting girl from the other team suddenly collided with her because she was anxious to steal the ball.
Both people were knocked down by each other. A man from another group on the sidelines immediately ran over, helped the girl opposite, and asked anxiously, "How are you, are you not hurt?"
Someone also pulled Jiang Ningyu up. But when she noticed the familiar look on the man opposite, whose heart was full of love, she suddenly fell into a trance.
So after it ended, she sat alone on the sidelines for a long time, then threw away the water bottle and left.
There was a dull pain in the shoulder that had been bumped by the elbow. When she was rubbing it and leaving, a colleague who was also taking a break said a few words of concern, "How are you, Ningyu?"
"It's okay." Jiang Ningyu smiled and left the venue.
Orange street lights illuminated the road ahead. Walking along the noisy road, she lowered her head and stepped on the narrow shoulder stones. Like any time when she was a child when she didn't want to go home, she slowly practiced one word along the edge of the raised stones.
step.
It is not difficult to maintain the balance of the body, but what is difficult is that thoughts are wandering, taking two steps and stopping for two steps. I walked intermittently for a long time, and suddenly a pair of brown leather shoes came into view and stepped on the road ahead, breaking all the hope of continuing to move forward.
momentum.
Jiang Ningyu couldn't help but raise her head.
But he met a pair of cool and smiling eyes, "You lost the game? You are so depressed."
Lin Xuyue was wearing a suit and casual pants, as if she had just arrived from work, with a bag on her shoulders. There was a bit of joking on his face, until he noticed her hand rubbing her shoulders, he smiled slightly and asked her,
"What's wrong with the shoulder?"
An unexpected person appeared in front of her. Jiang Ningyu was stunned for two seconds, then suddenly reached out and hugged him.
Hugging him was an action she had thought about many times but did not dare to go beyond.
It just happened so naturally.
The moment her arms wrapped around Lin Xuyue's waist, she clearly felt that his whole body was stiff, as if he was surprised and at a loss.
So she hugged him very lightly, carefully, and with such strength that he could push him away at any time.
However, the man she was hugging quickly spread his arms, put his arm around her back, and with a little force, he carried her from the curb to the flat ground, then gently pulled her away and asked, "What's wrong?
"
Perhaps he sensed something was wrong with her mood, so his voice became a little gentler.
"My shoulder is injured..." Jiang Ningyu lowered her eyes and whispered, "I can't play badminton anymore."
But her sad expression was more like a child who needed care but no one cared for her.
Lin Xuyue reached out to touch her shoulder and pressed it gently. Before he could ask a question, she got a "hiss" backing reaction.
Jiang Ningyu finally raised her eyes and complained with her wet eyes, "It hurts!" But her voice was soft, as if she was coquettish.
The look in his eyes fluctuated in the dim light of the street lamp, and there was a moment of imbalance.
Finally he raised his hand, took her arm and walked out, "Go to a place with better lighting and let me take a look."
After such a long time, it was the first time that he took the initiative to pull her. Jiang Ningyu couldn't help but turn her head and look at him.
But his expression was as usual, his eyes were not squinting, and he couldn't see any clues.
In order to prevent the atmosphere from being silent, Jiang Ningyu decided to say something, "Why are you here?"
"After work, come and take a look."
His answer was pointless, and she didn't ask any further questions, "It seems that it was on this golf course last time, and I sprained my ankle."
He laughed and said, "I came here twice and got hurt twice. Do you dare to come again in the future?"
"I originally wanted to have the opportunity to watch you play football..." Jiang Ningyu paused, half talking to herself, half testing, "There will be a chance..."
