Can't speak

After returning to work, Jiang Bai's mood was even more chaotic.The different gazes from colleagues, the unsatisfactory business development, the caring eyes from the proprietress, and the threat from Liao Guanghai who kept ringing in my ears...

What to do, how to solve this trouble?

Head-to-head, dead fish?Or compromise and hurry up to fundraise?

As a person who has experienced it, she has deeply experienced the heartache of being forced to demolish the cabinet door.As for a kind and forbearing person like the proprietress, if her own father makes trouble in public, she doesn't know how much she will suffer.Face is one thing, but the career she loves and obsesses with is the most important thing.If because of this, the unformed fruit that the proprietress has worked so hard these days is severely pinched...that is a scene she Jiang Bai would never want to see...Moreover, she obviously still has a chance to stop this something happened...

Jiang Bai, who was in a mess of mood and thoughts, couldn't calm down and think about it. Except for imagining the unbearable consequences, the countermeasures he could come up with were not called countermeasures.So far, apart from compromise, there is only one way to escape.It's just, hehe, how easy is it to escape?And this, compared to the result after Liao Guanghai came to make trouble, how is it better?

and so……

But in such a short time, where is she going to get 2 yuan?

Maybe it's because of too much pressure, Jiang Bai urgently needs to find someone to relieve his panic and depression, or maybe he took out his mobile phone with some purpose.Sometimes this person has a bright mind, but sometimes he is too flexible and impulsive, and he will act on whatever he thinks of.By the time she realized it, she had already sent a message to the roommate group: Is anyone there?

After waiting for a while, no one came back.wait. 5 minutes later, still no reply.

Another one: what about people?

Next, there will be 5 minutes of silence.

Desperately wanting to get some comfort, desperately wanting someone to talk to her, Jiang Bai didn't care what time it is, and sent out a group of red envelopes without even thinking about it.

Within 20 seconds, 4 packages were collected.

Sure enough, there is nothing in this world that money cannot solve.

Fuck, Xiaobai, can you be more picky?I took the risk of being discovered by the boss to snatch the red envelope during working hours, and I just snatched [-] cents! —— Lord Hong

The above, I only grabbed a penny did I say anything? —— Jia Jia

And Lili, who was the luckiest person to grab the twenty-five cents, was also extremely hostile: Damn Xiaobai!Call the soul!In broad daylight!What's the matter!

Yes, in this group of red envelopes, Jiang Bai only paid [-] cents and snatched more than [-] cents himself, blowing up everyone.This is a bit worse than the bleakness of shouting for a long time before no one answered.

——It’s nothing, I just miss you.

——Hehe, your thoughts are so sudden, why did you go so early!

Master Hong's words expressed the feelings of everyone.The few people who have been together for several years are more than a tacit understanding.There is nothing that Jiang Bai will not summon everyone for no reason.However, right now is really not the time to chat or even talk about things, they each have their own jobs, and their lives are no longer on the same channel, especially Jiajia, who is now abroad, with a busy and fulfilling life, and really has no time to listen to Jiang Bai This guy was nagging, made a statement and prepared a sentence, and then ran away.

For the rest, Mr. Hong is at work, and Lili is actively preparing for next year's national exam, and none of them are free.They just asked her if something went wrong at work or in life?Jiang Bai sighed at their tacit understanding, hesitated and didn't know how to word it, and tapped his fingers on the keyboard. After a while, he entered a paragraph with a strong consciousness. After typing, when he clicked send, his hand shook and his mind relaxed , quickly click cancel...

When things came to a close, she was startled: what is allowed and what is not; what is easy to say and what is not.It is difficult for her to give an explanation about today's incident.Questions about money are also difficult to talk about.She couldn't open that mouth.

Whether it was complaining, complaining, explaining the status quo, explaining the incident, or directly borrowing money, she found that she could not do any of them.

Although I really don't want to raise this issue, this matter is indeed not something that a few college students can help her solve.At least, it's impossible for them now.

She has the best relationship with Lord Hong, but the other party is like her, a rookie in the workplace, with a low position, low salary, and uncertain future, so he can't help her much in any way.In Lili's case, she has never entered the workplace since she graduated, and her worldly knowledge and work experience are even blanker than hers, neither of which is enough to share, but it can give her some chicken soup.However, what Jiang Bai needs now is not chicken soup.As for Jiajia, the relationship between the two of them in this dormitory is the weakest. They rarely talk in private, and it is even less likely to confess to her or make a request.

Now, Jiang Bai feels that he is really a coward!Being bullied up to the nose, it's okay to be powerless to resist, and dare not tell anyone!Even if it's a relative, even a lover, even a friend...

However, just talking a few words with them in the group has already made Jiang Bai relax a little.Since graduation, they have rarely chatted together lively, and the only few group videos are only a few dozen minutes, and then they are busy in their own ways.

There is less contact, but the friendship is still there. The days when they fought and quarreled and hurt each other in those years will not be easily forgotten.

After spending the whole afternoon in a daze, nothing made progress, but because of Jiang Bai's own silence, the rumors and eyes towards her in the office area became stronger and more strange.

A long time ago, some colleagues had analyzed and suspected her orientation, but there was no evidence to check, and she never revealed anything, so nothing happened.And this time the incident was exposed, not only made her Jiang Bai's sexuality public, but also mercilessly exposed the big lie she told to cover herself.

Now it's all right, now the colleagues in the same group, and even the boss of the team, are repelling and resisting her.

Well, Jiang Bai also understands that this society is very particular about honesty and integrity.

It was rare not to work overtime today. When the off-duty time arrived in the afternoon, a large area of ​​the office was cleared at a rapid speed, and almost all of them were gone within 2 minutes.Jiang Bai hid in his position, and waited for everyone to disperse before getting up and leaving.The girl at the front desk who locked the door rarely did not greet her, and turned to the side the moment she walked out.This move simply made up for Jiang Bai's already fragile heart, and the pain was unbearable.

The mood was extremely bad, Jiang Bai returned to the store with a sigh of relief, he didn't care about sweating profusely, he plunged into the kitchen and hugged the proprietress, buried his face in the proprietress's shoulder, feeling aggrieved.

The proprietress was startled by her, and felt that she was in a bad mood, so she didn't get angry, but resisted the hot, tight and sticky discomfort, raised her hand and patted her face,

"what happened?"

Jiang Bai didn't say anything.Liao Ying put the spatula in her hand on the stove, leaned out of her embrace, turned around, and saw that her eyes were red and she looked like she was about to cry, her complexion was very pale, and she didn't know if she was angry Still aggrieved, suddenly surprised.Although this person would usually act like a sissy and act coquettishly, he definitely did not have the abnormally weak posture of today.

"What happened, Xiaobai? You've been acting weird all day!"

"Miss Boss, let's not do business tonight. I'm in a bad mood. Please stay with me."

Jiang Bai's rare waywardness, never-before-seen willfulness, made Liao Ying intuit that something happened, or the work pressure was too great, and she felt sorry for her, so she decided to ask this person, talk to her, and take her to relax one time.

"Okay, when the evening rush hour passes, we'll close the door. You go to eat now, and I'll accompany you when I'm done."

"Yeah." Jiang Bai knew he was a bit hypocritical, but since the proprietress has agreed, so be it.He obediently agreed, cleaned up his mood, and went to eat obediently.

The proprietress kept her word, she was concerned about people who were not in good condition, she had no intention of doing business, so she cleaned up and closed the shop early, and let the two shop assistants go back to rest early.Jiang Bai has been sitting at the counter since he finished his meal, and he was absent-minded when helping to check out...

After almost everything was packed, I apologized to a few customers who came to order, closed the store, and left in two directions.

It is suitable for taking a walk after a meal, walking is suitable for talking and relaxing, and relaxing is suitable for going to the park square.Well, Liao Ying took Jiang Bai along the sidewalk and walked slowly all the way to the nearest square in the district, without going home.

In the evening, the sun has set, and the heat from the pavement floor that has been baked for a day gradually dissipates, and the evening wind is much cooler than the daytime. At this time, there are many citizens who go out after dinner, old people, children, young men and women, Uncle and aunt...

They walked all the way in silence, and neither of them spoke. Jiang Bai was full of thoughts and didn't know where to start. Liao Ying was secretly speculating, thinking about how to help the people around her, and how to guide her to speak her mind.

The square is in front, and the familiar rhythm and melody can be heard from a distance.No, at this point, the aunts just brought their speakers and danced in groups in the square, twisting happily one by one, living a leisurely and free life with endless entertainment.

With this cheerful rhythm, Liao Ying got closer to Jiang Bai, pointed at a few young people on bicycles passing by with a smile on her face, and raised the topic: "Xiaobai, why don't we ride shared bicycles in the future?" Well, it seems to be quite simple, just download the app, register and pay a deposit, and then you can scan the QR code and ride away... Aren’t you always complaining that taking the bus is crowded and troublesome, and it’s not far away anyway, We can also ride bicycles in the future, and it only costs [-] cents an hour, which is convenient and affordable.”

Such a harmonious and warm atmosphere, accompanied by a lover, really makes people feel happy.Although Jiang Bai's mood was still gloomy, he was held by the proprietress and started talking and laughing. The atmosphere gradually turned from weird to enthusiastic, so he grinned and laughed, saying,

"Okay, if you can't ride a little sheep, you can ride a bicycle. Anyway, the streets are everywhere now, so it's very convenient."

"Yes, yes." The proprietress responded, pulled Jiang Bai to the clean and bright stone bench on the edge of the square in front, bent down and touched it with her hand, "It's not hot, sit down."

The person behind sat down as he said, and when his shoulders relaxed, his whole body became lighter, and he looked so leisurely and comfortable.Satisfied with this, Liao Ying also sat next to her, took out her mobile phone and took a selfie for the two of them, and wanted to send it to Moments... However, Jiang Bai was not satisfied with this photo, so she grabbed the phone and deleted it without saying a word. I took a new photo after turning on the beauty face.

Liao Ying was very speechless, and gave her a blank look: "I want to save face."

An unintentional rant, but it seemed to be clear, Jiang Bai was taken aback when he heard it, and then laughed at himself: "You want to save face, you just understand me, haha!"

The atmosphere turned cold all of a sudden, and Liao Ying asked in a timely manner: "Xiaobai, what's the matter with you, you've been in a trance all day, tell me, and see if I can help you share it."

Jiang Bai pondered for a while, and knew that he couldn't be more cowardly, so he told the real reason for her panic, and said half of it.

"..."

However, what she let Liao Ying know was only the part where Liao Guanghai threatened to ask for money. As for the reason why he exposed her evil deeds in her company, she didn't say anything.

After Liao Ying finished listening, the first thing she did was get angry, her eyes flushed with anger, she slapped the stone table with a "slap", and cursed: "Shameless!"

I have never seen such a despicable, shameless, cold-blooded and ruthless person.What a beast!

Based on Liao Ying's understanding of Liao Guanghai, she naturally understood that that person would not let it go.However, all the assumptions she made were nothing more than Liao Guanghai turning around and going to her shop to play tricks and cheat.He never expected that he already knew about the relationship between her and Xiaobai, and he seized this opportunity to come and threaten...

Liao Ying was so angry that she vomited blood.No wonder Xiaobai became like this, who wouldn't die of aggrieved change.She was dragged into the water by herself.No, no, it was two people who were dragged into the water by Liao Guanghai, or you can say that they dragged each other into the water...

Qi to Qi, the proprietress has not lost her mind, she stared at Jiang Bai with her eyes wide open,

"Why did you say it until now? Is it because I didn't ask, but you kept it a secret? Then you want to compromise and plan to secretly give him money to solve it?"

The other party lowered his head, speechless.Liao Ying was even more impatient, hating iron for being weak,

"You really intend to do this! Let me tell you, don't be stupid, that person is a vampire! Bottomless pit! How can a gambler be settled so easily? Don't say we don't have money now, even if we have money, we can't afford him so cheaply! "

"I know, but—"

"You are afraid that there will be trouble in my shop, and that person will expose us, scare away all the customers and make me lose business, right?"

Jiang Bai is also anxious: "You don't understand how serious this is, if it's true, we don't know if we can stay here!"

"Why can't we stay? Are we stealing, robbing, cheating, or murdering and setting fire?"

"People's words are terrible! Do you know that you are a fool? As long as others have opinions on you, what you do is wrong! At that time, let alone doing business, it is a sin for us to stay here, do you understand? !"

Liao Ying was very angry at her remarks: "If you can't stay here, then don't stay here, at worst, get out! Is there no place we can go? Or...or are you reluctant to stay here?"

"..."

It's really unpredictable. When two people are together, there will be no small bumps, but not many, but today is the first time that there is a strong difference of opinion because of this stupid incident.

Liao Ying was really angry. In fact, she didn't know that Xiao Bai was thinking of her. They just landed in this place with great difficulty, and the roots haven't grown yet!

And Jiang Bai was obviously trembling with anger at her misunderstanding, and was speechless for a while.Or, indeed, as Liao Ying said, she has so much in Jiang Bai that she is reluctant to leave the city.

As if they were confronting each other, the generals of the two armies fell silent, and the atmosphere turned into a stalemate.After a while, Liao Ying couldn't hold her breath.

"Xiaobai, let's change our thinking. If you really plan to compromise, give 2 yuan to your fate. Let me ask you, where did you get this money? Ask your friends to borrow it? Or ask your parents to ask for it? You did it well." come out?"

Jiang Bai shook his head, laughing at himself,

"I don't care what my parents want, and I won't let them know about it... Among my friends, there is no one who has this ability, hehe..."

Just as Jiang Bai fell into the next round of silence and Liao Ying breathed a sigh of relief, the square dancing aunts finished dancing and changed a tune.In the next moment, a strange and impressive melody suddenly penetrated into the ears of the two of them, and it actually made the two of them get goosebumps at the same time...

Jiang Bai widened his eyes and looked at the group of aunts who started to dance with R&B music, but the dance style hadn't changed at all, and the corners of his mouth twitched suddenly.

And after listening to this song, the proprietress who saw the expression of the person next to her with a flashing aura in her eyes was immediately outraged, and yelled out all the dissatisfaction with her voice,

"Dead Jiang Bai!! If you dare to borrow money from Kang Xiaoru, I will kill you!!!"
