Zhao Lu didn't know why he had to tell the truth to Yao Ling, since they had only known each other for a few days.What's even more strange is that she didn't regret it after she finished speaking.

However, this girl's emotional intelligence is not low. After being surprised, she restrained her face and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Zhao Lu didn't say anything, the expression on his face gradually faded, and his indifference returned.

Seeing her appearance, Yao Ling didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The little sparrows who were chattering all the way suddenly quieted down, Zhao Lu was not used to it for a while.

After returning to the hotel, each returned to the room.

Zhao Lu smelled like hot pot, but she didn't want to move, she just lay on the bed straight up, staring blankly at the night outside the window in a daze.

Tears fell quietly until blurred vision.

It turned out that no matter how I concealed it, no matter how I avoided it, the hurt in my heart still couldn't be forgotten.

Thinking of the day when Yang Yi just left and the building was empty, she seemed to have gone crazy and tried to call her, but the system kept prompting to shut down.

Reluctantly, she chased to the airport, looking for her in the vast crowd like a headless chicken, crying her name.

Probably because she thought she was too crazy. Later, the airport security appeared and tried to drag her away.She squatted on the ground, crying like an abandoned child.

In the few days after that, Zhao Lu completely gave up on herself, she shed tears day and night, and drank and got drunk day and night.She constantly numbs herself, secretly telling herself: all this is false, she is just dreaming.

Until He Yun slapped her hard, grabbed her by the collar and cursed: "Can you be a little promising and ruin yourself like this for someone who doesn't love you?"

After that slap, Zhao Lu was still half asleep and half awake.But she knew that she could no longer deceive herself and others.

But how can it be possible to forget when you say you forget about emotional matters, or not to think if you don’t want to?

As long as she wakes up, she can't help but think of Yang Yi in her mind.The bits and pieces of getting along with her in the past eroded her will like a curse.When she finally fell asleep, her shadow was still in the dream.

Several times, she dreamed that Yang Yi repented, put aside everything and said that she wanted to be with her, that she was the only one in her heart.The two of them hugged each other so sweetly...

She woke up full of joy and found that everything was her own imagination, so she began to cry again.

Ups and downs, again and again.

"Ding-dong-"

Suddenly, the phone rang briefly.

Zhao Lusheng, who was in a daze, was taken aback. She fumbled to find the phone in a panic, picked it up and looked, the light in her eyes faded instantly.

At this time, why did she naively think that it was Yang Yi who took the initiative to contact her?

Since leaving, Yang Yi's cell phone has never been called. Zhao Lu sent her a lot of messages on WeChat, but there was no response.

The expectations in my heart are getting less and less, and the resentment is getting deeper and deeper, but I can't find an outlet to vent, so the sadness is getting stronger and stronger.

It was at that time that Zhao Lu became afraid of all the sounds of the mobile phone.

"Ding dong—" there was another sound.

Zhao Lu's heart skipped half a beat, and he almost threw the phone out.

After a few seconds of slowing down, she collected herself and checked the news.

It was Yao Ling who sent her chicken soup for the soul: "Time will dilute everything, Sister Zhao, everything will get better, come on!"

There is another one at the back: "Sleep well, good night."

Zhao Lu looked at the two messages with complicated emotions, and typed slowly: "Thank you."

The next day, when Yao Ling knocked on the door and asked her to go out to play, Zhao Lu refused.

She didn't even open the door, and replied to her on WeChat: "Go by yourself and be safe."

Yao Ling: "Oh."

There is only one word, and it can be seen that the girl is a little disappointed.But Zhao Lu was really not in the mood to play with her.

The footsteps outside the door gradually faded away, and finally returned to silence.

In fact, Zhao Lu didn't sleep all night last night.

She repeatedly looked at the photos about Yang Yi kept in her phone, and wanted to delete them but was reluctant.She admitted that she was really good at it, she couldn't be as free and easy as He Yun.

She dropped the heavy mobile phone and rubbed her tense face hard.

"I'm leaving tomorrow."

When Zhao Lu told Yao Ling the news, the girl didn't react for a long time, and said in surprise, "But you haven't played much!"

Zhao Lu forced a smile, and said lightly: "I didn't come here to play."

Seeing that her complexion was not good, Yao Ling hesitated to speak again when he recalled what she said last night.

Zhao Lu was taken aback by her, so he stopped talking and said, "I'm going to pack my luggage."

"Alas—" Yao Ling held her hand, muttering, "I'll go with you."

Zhao Lu raised his eyebrows: "Are you willing to leave?"

Yao Ling said shyly: "It's true that I haven't had enough fun... But, if I don't go back, I'll really reveal myself, and I still have to go to class."

"Have you decided?"

"Ok!"

"Ok."

When they went back, they took the train.Because Yao Ling's funds were limited, Zhao Lu accommodated her.

There is no direct high-speed rail, and it takes four hours longer to take the train than to take the plane.For this, Yao Ling was very embarrassed: "I have wronged you."

Zhao Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you feel wronged by taking the train?"

Yao Ling stuck out her tongue: "I'm afraid of delaying your time. By the way, sister Zhao, what do you do?"

The nature of Zhao Lu's current job is not easy to define, after all, the things she does are complicated.She thought for a while and said, "My cousin owns a homestay, and I work for him as the front desk, and I'm also in charge of finances."

Yao Ling's eyes lit up, and he said pleasantly, "Then we are traveling together!"

"Coming together? Have you graduated yet?"

Yao Ling didn't take it seriously, and said, "Graduation is coming soon. When I start working in the future, won't we become colleagues?"

Zhao Lu smiled noncommittal.

Yao Ling carried a lot of snacks with her, she couldn't stop talking, she couldn't stop eating, and in a blink of an eye she finished half a bag of melon seeds and a bag of biscuits. Seeing Zhao Lu with both hands in her pockets, she asked, "Don't you like snacks?"

"I'm afraid of being fat."

"Not fat! You are much thinner than me!" Yao Ling looked at her, pinched the flesh on his arm, and then pinched his waist. In contrast, he was very annoyed.

Zhao Lu didn't know how to take over.Looking at Yao Ling's work, her eyes darkened, and she suddenly remembered the time when she and Yang Yi were swimming together.

They also had intimacy before, but now she suspects that all of that was an illusion.Or, she would rather that all that is an illusion.

With a sore nose, Zhao Lu avoided Yao Ling's gaze, pretended to look away, and said, "I'm a little sleepy, I want to squint for a while."

Yao Ling was taken aback when he heard the words, but he didn't think too much about it, and said, "Oh, then go to sleep."

They bought seat tickets, Yao Ling sat inside, Zhao Lu sat outside, she turned sideways, turned her head outside, and slowly closed her eyes.

This closing really made Zhao Lu fall asleep.

When she woke up, she found that it was pitch black outside, thinking it was dark, she rubbed her eyes.

"Are you awake?" Yao Ling leaned over to look at her, "You are amazing, you slept from day to night, you slept for eight hours!"

Zhao Lu said hoarsely, "Eight hours?!"

Yao Ling pursed his lips, and said pitifully, "No, you didn't wake up even after I told you, we've already sat at the station."

Zhao Lu's expression froze.

"Pfft—" Yao Ling thumped the table and laughed, "I'm lying to you! How could you have sat down? You only slept for half an hour, how could it be dark so quickly, and now we are in a tunnel."

Zhao Lu looked out the window and found that the sky outside had changed, and flowers, plants and trees passed by her eyes.She turned her head leisurely, and stared at Yao Ling speechlessly.

Yao Ling laughed until tears came out, and mercilessly mocked her: "Sister, you are so easy to lie."

Zhao Lu: "..."

After laughing enough, Yao Ling wiped away tears with a tissue and said, "I sent you the photo, please check WeChat."

Suspiciously, Zhao Lu took out the mobile phone from his bag and lit it up.There are several photos on it, all of which were taken by Yao Ling with his mobile phone when she was in the scenic spot.There are front and side angles for shooting, and each picture looks perfect. Zhao Lu can hardly imagine that the beauty in the photo is actually himself.

Yao Ling came over to admire her together, and said triumphantly, "I told you, I'm good at photoshoots, isn't it pretty?"

Zhao Lu raised his lips slightly and said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

A few hours later, the train arrived.

Because they didn't go along the way, they separated as soon as they got out of the station.

Zhao Lu watched her bouncing around to buy a subway ticket, and seeing her disappear, felt a sense of sadness in his heart.

Youth is so good, carefree, it seems that there will never be any troubles.

Maybe Yao Ling also has troubles, but she can't see them.

Everyone has their own life track, instead of envying others, it is better to work hard to make yourself better.

Zhao Lu withdrew his mind, stopped a taxi and got in.

A month later.

Zhao Lu and Zhou Yang mentioned resignation.

Zhou Yang wasn't very surprised, and he didn't ask her to stay, he just asked her: "Didn't you say you don't like being a tour guide?"

Zhao Lu is indeed not satisfied with the job of a tour guide. He often travels around, exposed to the wind and the sun, making himself as tired as a dog.Zhou Yang treated her kindly, arranged the easiest work for her, and paid her a lot of wages. Zhao Lu felt very guilty about this.

She decided to go back to her old job after careful consideration, and said, "I want to run outside more now."

Zhou Yang fell silent after listening.

But in the end she got her way.

"Thank you cousin." Zhao Lu gave him a firm hug.

Zhou Yang patted her on the back like an old father, and said: "Let the unhappy things go, don't embarrass yourself. No matter what happens in the future, remember to find me as soon as possible. I will always be your solid backing."

After hearing these words, Zhao Lu burst into tears.

The next thing is to find a job.

It turned out that the travel agency Zhao Lu was too embarrassed to go back, and she always avoided it when submitting her resume.Unexpectedly, one night, her former boss, Lao He, took the initiative to contact her on WeChat, and said straight to the point: "Why don't you come to me when you are looking for a job? I am short of people, come back and help me!"

Zhao Lu was puzzled: "How do you know I'm looking for a job?"

Old He: "Chen Xiaomei told me."

Zhao Lu was even more puzzled, how did Chen Xiaomei know?

Then she asked Chen Xiaomei.

Chen Xiaomei: "My cousin told me."

Chen Xi?

Zhao Lu finally remembered that last week when she went back to Liyuan Community to carry her luggage, she happened to meet Chen Xi, chatted with her for a while, and mentioned the matter of changing jobs.

Is Chen Xi helping her?

Zhao Lu was filled with emotions.In a daze, Lao He sent several more messages to urge her, asking if she had already found her next home.

When I resigned, I had such a firm attitude, and I still disliked the previous job in various ways. I didn't expect Lao He to attach so much importance to her.Zhao Lu felt ashamed and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Looking at the screen again, Lao He sent another message, asking her to go to the travel agency tomorrow, saying that he would have an interview with her.

Now that we've talked about this, it's not appropriate to refuse.

The next day, Zhao Lu went over with his resume.

Chen Xiaomei received her and said to her, "Boss asked you to go to his office."

Stepping into this place again, Zhao Lu looked at almost familiar faces, the more Zhao Lu thought about it, the more ashamed he became, so he quickened his pace and knocked on the door of Lao He's office.

"Come in." Old He's smoky voice came through the door.

Zhao Lu took a deep breath, pushed the door open and entered with a smile on his face.

Lao He looked up and found her, laughed loudly, and said, "I knew you would come. You see, there are all colleagues who have worked with you outside, all of them are so busy that their butts are smoking. Fortunately, you are here. You How are you thinking?"

Zhao Lu thought about it all night, and he had already made up his mind.Since her old club doesn't dislike her, why should she bother?

She nodded, straightened her back, and said solemnly: "I promise to work harder in the future! I will definitely live up to the trust of the leader!"

Lao He didn't expect her to do this, and was so frightened by her voice that he almost lost his grip on the cigarette in his hand.

That's how the work was settled.

Zhao Lu returned to the travel agency and became a tour guide again.

New beginning.

Zhao Lu was sent out to lead a group on the first day of work, and she didn't have the slightest complaint.She still runs the previous routes, familiar places and familiar jobs, she is handy.

She was very tired, but she felt very relieved. Her purpose was to keep herself from being idle. As long as she was not idle, she would have no time to think about it.

Autumn is coming to winter, ushering in the off-season of tourism, Zhao Lu has no chance to run outside for the time being.

She has been very thin recently, but everyone who has seen her says she has lost weight.In the past, Zhao Lu must have been very happy when she heard it, but when she thought that the cost of losing weight was that she couldn't eat or sleep well, she could only smile wryly.

I don't know if it's because he's getting older or his physique has deteriorated, but Zhao Lu obviously feels that this winter is extremely cold.But she lives in a city without heating, and it hurts to say it.

The snow had just stopped, and it was chilly inside, but warm outside.Zhao Lu was pulled out of bed by Wang Xiuyun and asked her to accompany her to bask in the sun.

Zhao Lu was reluctantly dragged downstairs by her.

In the community, they met Xu Rui's family who came out for a walk.

Speaking of Xu Rui, if Wang Xiuyun hadn't reminded him, Zhao Lu would have almost forgotten about this person.This person is the son of Aunt Zhang, Wang Xiuyun's former colleague. When Xu Rui's family moved here, Wang Xiuyun put a lot of effort into matching her and Xu Rui.

It's been a long time since I saw Xu Rui's son, who is half a year old, and is being held by the family like a baby.

Wang Xiuyun took her over to say hello and teased her baby for a while.

After walking away, Wang Xiuyun looked at the happy appearance of the whole family, envious and jealous at the same time, and said sourly: "Look at him, you are about the same age as Xu Rui, and his children can make soy sauce, look at it again look at yourself."

Zhao Lu corrected her expressionlessly: "That's still a baby, how can I make soy sauce?"

Wang Xiuyun poked her forehead with her hand, and said through gritted teeth, "Can you have some snacks? Can't you have a serious relationship? It's outrageous to be single at such an age!"

It seems that Wang Xiuyun's menopause is not getting any better. It's been so long, and her nagging and whining problems are getting worse.

Zhao Lu pretended not to hear, and kicked the snow that had not completely melted.

"Don't think it's okay if you don't talk." Wang Xiuyun pinched her arm.

Zhao Lu didn't feel anything at all, turned his head to look at her, and said every word: "Don't bother, Mom, I don't like men."

"If you don't like men, do you like women?!"

"You're right, I just like women."

Wang Xiuyun just said it casually, but she didn't expect her words to be surprising, her eyes widened: "What did you say?"

Zhao Lu took her hand and said, "Mom, I don't want to hide from you anymore. I like women, so I always object to you arranging a blind date for me."

Wang Xiuyun looked at her like a ghost, and shook off her hand: "Are you crazy!"

Zhao Lu expected her to react like this, and she didn't bother to explain, anyway, it didn't matter.She stood up, stretched her waist, and said lazily: "Believe it or not, it's up to you, I've made it clear."

Wang Xiuyun stood up awkwardly, her voice raised: "What do you mean by making things clear? What do you mean?"

Zhao Lu opened his mouth, but before he could speak, the phone rang in his pocket.

She made a "shh" gesture, successfully stopped Wang Xiuyun's nagging, took out her mobile phone, checked it, and pressed answer.

"You still owe me a meal, don't you forget?"

"Of course not, please book a time and place today."

"Then let's do it now, I just haven't eaten, you can choose the place, I can do it."

"Okay, see you at the old place then."

The call time is less than 2 minutes.

Seeing her put down her phone, Wang Xiuyun couldn't wait to ask, "Who is it?"

"Chen Xi."

"Chen Xi."

Wang Xiuyun is naturally familiar with this name. After all, Zhao Lu had a good relationship with her in high school. The last move was thanks to Chen Xi's help.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiuyun's complexion changed suddenly, and she asked nervously: "You, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you have something to do with Chen Xi, do you?"?"

"..." Zhao Lu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and put the phone into his pocket, "Don't guess, there is nothing between me and Chen Xi, just a normal friendship."

Wang Xiuyun breathed a sigh of relief, took another breath, and said, "Then who are you with..."

"Oh mom, I'm going out now, I won't tell you anymore." Zhao Lu was most afraid of her endless questioning, so he opened a safe distance and waved his hand, "Go home and play chess with dad, you don't have to be me at noon It's time for dinner, bye!"

Before Wang Xiuyun could respond, she slipped away with her hands in her pockets.

The place agreed with Chen Xi was at a restaurant near Guomao, where they used to eat often.Chen Xi arrived before her.

Zhao Lu ran over trembling, sat down opposite her, and asked, "Have you been waiting long?"

"It's okay, just a few minutes."

The heating inside was sufficient, so Zhao Lu took off the scarf that was wrapped around his neck.Compared with her, Chen Xi's clothes were much lighter, and she wrapped herself like a rice dumpling.

"Aren't you afraid of the cold?" Zhao Lu asked her.

Chen Xi smiled faintly, and said, "I'm afraid, but it won't look good if you wear too much, I'm going to lose face and suffer."

Zhao Lu rubbed his hands together and said, "Let's order."

The two ate very slowly, chatting while eating, basically about the job that Zhao Lu returned to.

Zhao Lu took a sip of the hot soup, pursed his lips, and said, "In total, I actually owe you two favors, one for helping me find a job, and one for helping me move."

Chen Xi was surprised: "Isn't it my help when I was looking for a job?"

"Why not? If you hadn't told Xiaomei, my boss wouldn't have come to look for me, and I wouldn't have the nerve to go back by myself."

Chen Xi looked at her leisurely: "So you should treat me to dinner twice."

"..." Zhao Lu choked for a moment and patted his chest, "Okay, then twice, next time."

"I'm just kidding."

"I'm serious." Zhao Lu took out a piece of paper to wipe the soup overflowing from his mouth.

At this moment, Chen Xi's mobile phone rang, and she glanced at the screen, and then at the person opposite.Finding that Zhao Lu didn't notice, she picked up the phone hesitantly.

While she was answering the phone, Zhao Lu ate a few more mouthfuls of food, with a gesture of "I didn't hear anything".

Halfway through the speech, Chen Xi put down the phone, covered the receiver, looked at her, and said hesitantly, "Zheng Hao said he was coming."

Zhao Lu shook his hand, and a diced chicken fell off the chopsticks.She lowered her eyes, pretended to be calm, picked it up again, put it in her mouth, chewed slowly, and said, "It's better not to."

Chen Xi understood, put the phone to his ear, and said, "We're almost done eating, I'll go find you later."

Until Chen Xi hung up the phone and gently put the phone on the table, Zhao Lu never raised his head.
