look back again

Chapter 2

The next day, Lin Chen packed his simple luggage and left the home that made him feel suffocated all the time. He rented a small house at random where he was about to go to work, and he didn't bother to pack it, so he settled down like this.

Lin Chen majored in design. Because he has a diploma from studying abroad, he was quickly hired by the current company. Tomorrow is the first day of work. Today he has no activities, just lying in the basement .

The house in spring is still a bit cold, because the place is small, there is only a small window above the desk that can let in some light in the whole space, so even in the daytime it is not as bright as the outside, but it is the condition for Lin Chen to choose it. He likes to stay alone in a closed room, which is almost airtight, so quiet that there is almost no air flow, which makes him feel very at ease.

Lock yourself in a sealed place, only in this way can he relax, knowing that there is only himself here, there will be no strangers, strange breaths that make him uneasy, no one will talk to him, no one will ask him This request that, probably because the atmosphere at home is too serious, his father is an officer, he has always been very strict with him, in his memory, his father oppressed him like a mountain, even with a gentle mother to reconcile It's useless, because in the eyes of my father, the timid, introverted and cowardly self has gathered all the factors he hates, just like ants, looking at myself is like looking at a pile of garbage, cowardly, shy, and timid He completely runs counter to his strong father, and he doesn't look like his mother. In the eyes of others, he is like a different kind of family, but these are the shortcomings that he can't get rid of no matter what.So all the time, he lived very hard, until he met the man named Lu Yuanhang, until...

No, he has to go to work tomorrow, so he can no longer suffer from insomnia. This is his new life, a new beginning.

On the morning of the first day of work, Lin Chen came to the fashion design company named Jue Se early, and followed the leader through several offices to the innermost part.

The difference from the atmosphere outside is that the inside is said to be an office, and it is more like a battlefield. The place is very large, and there are many clothes in it, which are colorful and dazzling.But what is more conspicuous is the faces of the group of people inside, full of panic and panic.

"What does it mean to ask for leave? What can I do? I think it must be the hangover last night and I didn't wake up today!!! What are you still doing, go to his house and dig him out for me, otherwise you don't have to come back to work !!!”

The leader glared and reprimanded, and his words were like thunderbolts, which made the subordinates rush to run.Lin Chen still vaguely remembered that this was the person who interviewed him back then, and his first impression was that he was wearing glasses and was very polite.

Uh, I was mistaken, Lin Chen was a little worried, it seemed like I couldn't get along with such a person.Lin Chen tremblingly came to Chen Xicheng with anxiety and the same panic as those around him.

"Jing, manager..."

The leading lady next to her made a tentative call, which immediately attracted the person to squint. After seeing the person clearly, in the blink of an eye, he immediately changed his expression like flipping through a book, as if the person who just got angry was an illusion Same.

"Hey, isn't this Xiaolin~~ You are here, come here, everyone, please be quiet, let me introduce you, this is our company's new designer Lin Chen."

Immediately, the smile on the face that had recovered was full of spring, and there was no such expression of cannibalism just now.

"By the way, since you're here, Lin Chen, I'll give you a big task..."

He suddenly said in a heavy tone, and only after hearing it did he realize that there was a big client who wanted to order clothes today, but the company's designers were out on business, and the only designer who was free actually skipped work, no wonder he To lose such a big temper.

"Okay, let me try."

Lin Chen's obedient reply seemed to have flattened the reverse hair on Chen Xicheng's tiger skin all at once. He relaxed completely, and carelessly embraced Lin Chen's shoulders, as if he was tired from standing, and almost exhausted all his strength Leaning on Lin Chen's body, Lin Chen couldn't escape even if he wanted to, so he froze like that.

Since he was a child, he has been afraid of sudden close contact with strangers.

"Hey, what's the matter, just call me Brother Xicheng from now on, it's okay, our small company doesn't have such big rules."

Lin Chen, who was a little short-circuited, even forgot how to answer, his mind was full of the heat that he sprayed on his face when he was talking on his own, and after a while, his unsatisfied face turned red.

"Hey, hey, hey!"

Chen Xi began to yell as if he had discovered the New World, then moved away belatedly, and raised his hands high to show his innocence.

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to."

But there was no embarrassment on his face at all, on the contrary, it was a bit joking.

"No, no, it's because I have a thin skin."

The last thing I know how to deal with is this kind of person, familiar, enthusiastic, talkative, unlike me, I dare not even look directly at the faces of strangers, I can't blame my father for looking down on me, anyway, I'm already an adult After a few years, out of society, he was still young and timid like a little boy, so Lu Yuanhang always liked to tease himself at that time.

"I just love being by your side!"

He always has countless reasons to come to himself, and then he is confident.

"I just want to kiss you, I like you so much."

No matter how shy and struggling I am, it's useless.

"I want to cling to you all my life, you will get used to it, maybe you will be sad if I don't cling to you one day."

The nonsense at that time has become true...

"Oh, by the way, the client who is coming today is our new client named Lu Yuanhang, who is the head of the most influential entertainment company Great Future, you have to work hard, catching him will be considered as a big fish." It's fish, but this time it's a small matter, he needs us to design a casual suit suitable for going out..."

No amount of words could reach Lin Chen's ears, his hearing stopped at those three words, and he was stunned.

Lin Chen's hand began to tremble slightly, and he subconsciously hid it behind his back, then clenched it tightly, until bursts of pain came from the palm of his hand, and he didn't react a little.He was actually scared. He didn't want to face Lu Yuanhang right now, not at all. Although it would be extravagant to take another look at him, but if he really had to face this person, all the sadness would swallow Lin Chen whole. , he will be driven crazy by his own desires and reality!

No, he wants to run away!Those who escaped far, could not face Lu Yuanhang no matter what, no matter what.

But when he stood up, someone grabbed his hand. Lin Chen came back to his senses and found that the person was his current boss, Chen Xicheng.

"Why are you standing up? Listen to me carefully. You must remember every word I say now. If you let Lu Yuanhang go, all our bonuses for the second half of the year will be wasted."

"I, I just went to work on the first day, I, I..."

"Oh, I know you are a newcomer, so today I will let you measure his size or something. If there is any difficulty, let Weiren take over. Oh, the designer who skipped work today is called Gu Weiren. What is your task today? I’ll do it if I hold on.”

Chen Xicheng waved his hand, slapped Lin Chen fiercely, and then added a sentence heavily.

"Don't even think about running away, if you dare to make trouble under my Chen Xicheng's nose, you will die!"

As if sensing some kind of crisis, Chen Xicheng squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Chen with a half-smile, with murderous aura, Lin Chen was so frightened that he fell silent all of a sudden.

Inexplicably, he was pushed onto the thief ship.

***

The time of Lu Yuanhang's arrival was approaching bit by bit, Lin Chen felt that every minute and every second was suffering, and before he knew it, cold sweat flowed down, Xiao Liu, who had just met Lin Chen, felt that he was pitiful, kindhearted Come over and comfort me:

"Don't worry, you can just take a little measure and deal with it. I heard that although Lu Yuanhang looks strict on the surface, he won't lose his temper with part-time workers like us casually. Don't worry."

It's so pitiful, he was fooled by Chen Xicheng at such a young age, and he had to be a support for others on the first day of work. He was not prepared at all. Xiao Liu looked at him as if he had seen him trembling on the first day of work. Like myself, I can't help but feel a little empathy.

"xx, xx, xx, xx, xx"

Lin Chen uttered a string of numbers in a low voice.

"what?"

"Oh, it's all right."

Lin Chen shook his head hurriedly, he couldn't say the size of Lu Yuanhang's neckline, shoulder width, sleeve length, waist circumference, and trousers length, and after so many years, his size has long been different.The people I used to be most familiar with have become strangers now, and the people I used to talk about have become people I dare not even meet now.

I'm about to stand in front of you again, you, can you still remember the me back then?It's best to forget about it, because I'm probably the most boring, the least conspicuous, and the most disobedient of the people he associates with.

It’s okay, it’s okay, Lin Chen, you were able to go out bravely that day five years ago, and today, five years later, you can also walk through it with the same strength!

In the process of constantly cheering himself up, Lin Chen forgot the passage of time, and then Xiao Liu's exclamation broke his thoughts:

"Ah, Lu Yuanhang is here, the real person is even more handsome than the photo!!!"

Following the sound of her exclamation, a man walked into the door. His slender figure was wrapped in a neat black suit. Looking up, the forehead hair no longer half-covered the eyes as before, but exposed neatly. He raised his forehead, and a pair of sharp and thick eyebrows were close to his eyes, which seemed to dislike this space. He frowned slightly, and those black eyes, which were so dark that one could almost sink into them, looked around indifferently. , no one dared to look at each other.The current Lu Yuanhang is no longer the irritable but gentle boy he used to be. He seems to have been washed away, sharp and indifferent.

In the middle of his line of sight, Lu Yuanhang saw Lin Chen, saw the Lin Chen whom he had loved and hated but could never forget!

His panic is obvious, his hair has grown a lot, almost covering those beautiful clear eyes, and he has also lost a lot of weight. In his memory, he always likes to hide from other people's sight, likes to lower his head, slowly In my memory, he likes to eat with his mouth full and his face pouting. Later in his memory, he would stare at himself stubbornly, and then he would never let go. In his memory... no, the him in front of him has changed There were too many, and he was like at the beginning, the light on his body seemed to disappear completely, and he completely became a part of the crowd.

What are you afraid of?me?Lu Yuanhang?Even if it was my fault at the beginning, don't you think you are ridiculous now?The person who was so determined to go away and never heard from him back then, but you!

***

Lu Yuanhang walked in with staggered eyes as if nothing had happened. Immediately, someone enthusiastically led him to Lin Chen's office, and then introduced him.

"This is our designer Lin Chen, and he will serve you today."

Lu Yuanhang looked coldly at Lin Chen in front of him, and the closer he stood, the more he realized that he had really changed a lot, or maybe he hadn't changed at all, and the smiling and full of life in his memory was the one he made up by himself. , like a dream.

Sometimes he thought, if he could see this person again, what would he do? Should he just call him a coward, or turn a blind eye, or ask him hysterically why he wanted to go away alone?Of course, these are just thoughts. Now I am different. I have learned to hide all my emotions under my face. Even if I see my father and enemy, I can still laugh.

"Hello." He said calmly, his eyes only stayed on Lin Chen for a short moment, and then he began to look at the surrounding environment.Noisy, this is his first impression of this place, he can hear the whispers of the crowd not far away without reservation, chaos, it is full of all kinds of clothes, and new clothes always have a strange smell on them. Lu Yuanhang was particularly uncomfortable with the smell of chemicals.

"Get started!" he urged impatiently.

Lin Chen came to his senses under Xiao Liu's push, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, not even daring to speak too loudly, for fear of breaking something.

"You, hello."

Lu Yuanhang did not stretch out his hand, but after taking a glance, he staggered away from Lin Chen and sat down on the chair beside him, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Ah, I forgot, you despise me Dirty?" Then he sneered.

"It seems that I chose the wrong place. Such a big and stunning person unexpectedly used such a person to entertain me."

The voice was neither high nor low, and it just fell into Chen Xicheng's ears.

"Oh, isn't this Boss Lu~ I have admired his name for a long time. I am so sorry to have you come to our store in person today. Otherwise, we will come to serve you in person next time. What do you think? It's the first day of work, so if you offend me, please don't forget the villain."

The boss, Chen Xicheng, came out of nowhere and was not at all annoyed by the atmosphere.

"Don't dare to bother you!"

Lu Yuanhang didn't appreciate it very much. What he hated the most was Chen Xicheng's ostentatious appearance like a flower and a butterfly. He decided to leave out of sight and out of mind.If I had known I would not have come, the self who came here just for a piece of clothing and the self who met Lin Chen again seemed like a fool, and my heart was suddenly very irritable.

"Ah~ Don't give you shame, you dare to come to my territory to bully me!"

The situation suddenly reversed, and Chen Xicheng suddenly approached Lu Yuanhang and held down his body that was about to stand up. Although his face was pleasant, Lin Chen who was closest to him could still hear him clearly.It turned out that they knew each other, no wonder Chen Xicheng dared to use him as a rookie to deal with the big boss.

"Ah!"

Lu Yuanhang gave a disdainful laugh, and actually sat down again, but Chen Xicheng faintly felt that something was wrong. Lu Yuanhang seemed to be very out of shape today. If he was in normal times, why would he say "It's just you, you need it." Do you want me to bully you, I don’t even bother to do anything.” Although he is usually indifferent in the eyes of outsiders, he is still a very stubborn person among their good friends. What happened today? up?

"Okay, okay, I'll let you come over to see my little place today, the main reason is that I miss you, brother~~~"

"Where is Gu Weiren, where did he die again!"

"Him? I didn't know who I was hanging out with yesterday. I called him just now and still looked sleepy. I will definitely deduct his salary until he dare not skip work again." Chen Xicheng muttered bitterly, A violent look that wanted to swallow Gu Weiren alive.

"It's just you, I think it's okay, the thousand-year-old fox was destroyed on a peach blossom tree, it's shameful to say it!"

"Hey, hey, how did you say you fell for me? Get out of here, as far as you can go. I don't think you're here to make clothes, you're here to find someone to smoke."

The two entered Chen Xicheng's office just like this, blocking everyone's gossip. Lin Chen turned his neck belatedly, and found that the people around him had gathered together like a sudden explosion. When they got together, they began to gossip.

"This is the legendary big boss, the real person is so handsome." This is the nympho girl.

"Ahhh, why did I never know that our boss is already famous, who the hell is it!" This is also a nympho, but it's a man.

"Could it be that the two of them have an affair?" This is a rotten girl.

Lin Chen was too lazy to listen to their nonsense, turned around and sat down under his chair, jumped up as if there were nails under the chair, and then sat down slowly.There, Lu Yuanhang's body temperature was still there, so familiar...

***

"What, have you eaten?" Entering the office, Chen Xicheng became even more unscrupulous, and sat down on the table. In fact, the two of them have been very good friends since childhood, and they have experienced many things together, so when it was only the two of them in private , are not good at hiding themselves.

Lu Yuanhang's face also collapsed in an instant, gloomy and expressionless, many words rolled on his lips, and finally swallowed. He knew that it was not easy to find a job now, if he said it himself, Chen Xicheng would definitely He fired Lin Chen without saying a word, but the world is so small, do I want to keep seeing him?For a person who has passed five years, if he is still so hard-hearted, isn't that telling the whole world that he still cares about him?

It's a joke, I was still thinking about such a person who didn't even dare to raise his head to take a good look. I was really blind back then.

"It's okay, I feel a little tired."

"Hey, I still don't think it's right, there must be something I don't know." Chen Xicheng thought, we have known each other since we were young, and I even spent the silly time with you when I first thought I was a girl , why did you cover it up today?Could it be something that happened during the two years since I left?

"Could it be that you were abandoned by some little boyfriend? It's really gratifying." Chen Xicheng said tentatively.

"With such gossip, it's no wonder Gu Weiren doesn't like you."

"Hey, don't be so sharp, okay, I'm already very sad. Hey, Weiren has been chasing a girl very seriously recently. It seems to be serious. I called his house in the middle of the night yesterday and no one answered. I doubt him. Might have to settle with her."

No wonder he was asked to come here early in the morning to put on a show. It seemed that he was using this as an excuse to call Gu Weiren to ask what Gu Weiren was doing. It is said that this person is really tricky, but he just refused to take that step on his own. How dare Lu Yuanhang Guaranteed, the person who called in the morning was definitely not Chen Xicheng himself.Lu Yuanhang's heart is a little cold, he actually understands that people like them are always afraid of losing their temper, because love is so hard-won, even the feeling is afraid.Back then, the brave self was like a joke, wasn't it?

"Follow after, it's not marriage."

"Damn, you're trying to provoke me, aren't you? Don't you also look like you're dying, do yourself a favor and give me a way out in front of my brother."

"I'm not kidding you, I'm really leaving, don't forget my clothes when you turn around, hurry up and use them."

And this group of people were either lost their minds or panicked or didn't take it to heart at all. They all forgot the purpose of Lu Yuanhang's coming here early in the morning - to measure the size.
