Rebirth of the Uncrowned King

Falling asleep in a daze, waking up hazy.The first feeling is that the body is stuck in a very soft place, and there is no unbearable feeling of stiffness and soreness due to maintaining a twisted posture all night.

The fluffy lump under my head is a pillow, and the silky sheets under my body are stretched and relaxed. Obviously, the position I am in now is no longer a chair by the wall, but in the a bed.Presumably, it was Ren Min who transferred me here after I fell asleep last night.

I hesitated for a while, opened my eyes, and when I left, I saw Ren Min's big face, not a few feet away, almost occupying my entire line of sight.

At that moment, my heart seemed to be pricked by something, there was no sharp pain, but it hit the acupuncture point, and it softened all of a sudden.

What flashed in my mind was the sweetest days with him when I was in college, falling asleep and embracing each other.Whoever wakes up first, he or I, will make breakfast, and sometimes when we are lazy, we will change our outfits and go to a nearby snack bar for breakfast and snacks, a bowl of small wontons and two taels of raw pan-fried buns. The yelling is not enough, I have to grab another fried rice from Ren Min's share.

At that time, Ren Min had a bit of cannibalistic vitality in his body, which was my favorite.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

I shook my head, raised my head slightly and glanced at the bed—fortunately, my quilts and his were covered separately, and the towel around my waist also obediently stayed where it was.If I were naked and squeezed into the same bed with him, I would be so embarrassed that I would want to bump my head to death.

I took a few glances at Ren Min and saw that he was breathing calmly with his eyes closed, as if he had no intention of waking up, so I got up lightly, wrapped myself in a quilt, walked to the door and tried to twist the handle.

The door was still locked, both doors in the room were locked, and even the floor-to-ceiling windows were locked.

I turned my gaze back to the bed. If I didn’t take the initiative to wake Ren Min up, I would have to wrap myself in the quilt and wait for him to wake up. No clothes can be worn.

But to wake him up... I smiled wryly, from yelling at him yesterday to being carried here from the bathroom by him, it seemed like a farce.I don't want to talk to Ren Min at all, the more I talk to him, the more vulnerable I become.

If he takes the opportunity to make a request again, if I don't agree, he won't let me out, so what should I do?

While hesitating, I sometimes walked towards Ren Min, and sometimes retracted my steps.Seeing the time passing by and getting closer to the time to go to work, intellectual anxiety and emotional resistance are intertwined. I feel that I will be entangled with myself before I get the result.

"Really, it's just to wake me up. Is it so difficult to say?" A voice suddenly came from the other side of the bed. I looked over and saw Ren Min leaning on the head of the bed with his eyes open. Helpless: "I've been waiting for you to wake me up for a long time, and I have to pretend to be asleep. My body is almost stiff."

It turned out that he had woken up a long time ago, and he was waiting for my reaction for so long just now... I stopped looking at him, turned around and went straight into the bathroom, splashing some cold water on my face.

The cold water stuck to his face, which somewhat subsided the anger that surged up in his heart, but because of recalling the past, the slight softness in his heart disappeared, leaving only depression in his heart.

In Ren Min's eyes, watching my reaction is a fun thing, right?Just like watching a performance off the stage, watching my hesitation, contradictions and struggles is even more interesting than watching a stage play, because my reactions are the most authentic.

Things went smoothly afterwards, Ren Min didn't bother me any more, and let me go back to my room to clean up.Although I went out nearly half an hour later than usual, the driver he arranged for me showed a strong side at this juncture. I don't want to recall how I arrived at the newspaper office in such a short time. Knowing that the sandwich I brought into the car for breakfast, I only had one bite when I got out of the car, but I kneaded it into a dough.

When I walked into the office, I took a deep breath and told myself that I must not let any emotions in my life affect my work. Then I took my notebook and went to hold this week's regular meeting.

Although I still occasionally think about what happened last night, most of the time I can keep my attention, write down what the director and several other colleagues said, and then discuss the topic selection and listen to the director's assignment of tasks.

This week I was assigned to run an in-depth report on the conflict between the owners and developers of a community.I also did this report in my previous life, and it took a lot of effort. The main reason is that the owner and the developer insisted on their own opinions, and no one can believe what they say, so they have to study it carefully.But in this life, with the experience of the previous life, it should be a lot easier.

And another thing that surprised me a little was that Cui Musheng, a kid who can't see the beginning and the end of the dragon, also appeared at the regular meeting, and even raised his hand to ask to follow me for an interview.The vice president's son volunteered, and he was also a free photojournalist. Of course, the director agreed.

"Hey," as soon as the regular meeting was over, Cui Musheng leaned over to me, hooking my shoulders casually: "Ms. Ye, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

I pushed his arm down and shrugged helplessly: "This is not a business trip, but you can also take the opportunity to see the beautiful scenery as a tourist. This kind of thing is trivial, and if you don't agree with each other, you will have a big quarrel." What the hell are you going to join in the fun with?"

Cui Musheng still put on his signature hearty smile: "You are my teacher. Of course, I will go wherever you go. You are the wind and I am the sand, rippling around the sky..." In the end, he still sang.

I gave him a blank look. To be honest, it's really unbearable for such a handsome guy to put on such an appearance.

I went back to my seat and packed my things. I was going to call the driver who was waiting at the gate of the newspaper office to pick me up, but when I saw Cui Musheng following him, an idea popped into my mind.

"Xiao Cui, can you find a way to get an interview car from the newspaper office? The community is in the suburbs, and it costs a lot of money to take a taxi there. I used to see several newspaper cars in the underground garage. No need, what a waste of decoration." I said to Cui Musheng.

Cui Musheng smiled and said proudly, "Then you are asking the right person. Isn't my dad in charge of logistics and administration? Wait a minute, I'll give him a call."

Alas, these days, people with connections are not afraid to travel all over the world.In a few minutes, Cui Musheng got an interview car, and he drove it himself.However, I was more happy than complaining about this society. After all, I managed to avoid Ren Min's eyeliner and bought myself a little free time.

I silently made an interview plan in my heart. The time before eleven o'clock in the evening was all filled up. It would be better to be busy, so as to avoid what happened yesterday... After planning everything, I leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, Looking at the rapidly retreating buildings outside the window, I suddenly felt that the long-lost passion for work had returned.
