How to be a patron

He said, "Lie down on my lap, and I'll rub it for you."

With great difficulty, I managed to squeeze out a few words from between my teeth to form a sentence back to him: "Um...it's useless, massage makes me feel more painful, you, you go to the medicine cabinet to find if there is any Blow Fern."

"It's not good to take painkillers all the time." He said it calmly, but there was genuine worry and distress on his face.

"Damn..." I yelled angrily, "Then what should I do, kill me woo woo woo, I'm dead."

He frowned: "Don't say such things. Gou Meng doesn't like me to talk about frustration, especially when I talk about dying and not living, but now I really have a headache that is almost bursting. No time to worry about his feelings.

"Ah..." I felt that the oxygen in my chest was not enough, and I didn't have the strength to toss around, so I lay on my back with my limbs open and panted heavily.

Gou Meng stared at me for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled me: "Go, get up."

"Where are you going..." I didn't even have the strength to hum.

"I have an idea, you put on your coat and go out with me." Gou Meng casually pulled out a sweatshirt from the closet for me to put on, then half-armed and half-drag me out.

His bad idea is to take me for a run!Depend on!I was about to faint, and he forced me to run around the square of the community without stopping to rest. As soon as my pace slowed down, he would reach out and take my arm to rush forward at a faster speed .

After the first lap, I felt that my brain and limbs had lost their autonomy, and I would only move forward mechanically following Gou Meng's instructions.

After the second lap, I felt the pain spread to my limbs and my heart.

After the third lap, I felt my calf hurt more than my head.

Fourth lap...

Fifth lap...

I was dragged down by Gou Meng's life force and ran ten laps. (Gou Meng told me later, when I had no idea how long I had been running.)

Ten laps!Let alone three kilometers!

After I ran the tenth lap (it is said to be the tenth lap, I think it may be more!), my body could no longer bear the load, and my knees softened and I fell to my knees. The hard concrete floor hurt my knees, but more It was my chest and throat that hurt, and I was panting heavily, feeling like I could cough up blood in a second.

Gou Meng stood by the side all the time, he waited for me to calm down for a while, and then came over: "Is it better?"

I rolled my eyes: "Okay, what a fart! Ha... I'm about to pass out."

"But you didn't pass out." He tilted his head to look at me and said matter-of-factly, "And I think your lung capacity has grown again."

I didn't even have the strength to roll my eyes, so I could only give him two middle fingers in my heart.

He lowered his eyes for a moment, then stretched out his hand to pull me up, I leaned my whole body weight on him, without any sense of guilt: "I can't walk anymore, carry me back."

"Yeah." He turned sideways, picked me up easily, and walked back slowly.

The evening wind was blowing the ends of my hair. It was late at night and there was no one around. I rested my head on his shoulder peacefully.

He didn't ask, and I pretended not to know.

But obviously, the discomfort in my temples has disappeared.

Because it's the feet that are sour!It's the throat that hurts!

Well, that's better than a headache, too.

This... can be regarded as a stupid but effective method.

"Huh." I exhaled lightly, shook my head, shook off the headache for a moment, and then calmly welcomed them to come back with a more turbulent posture.

I got out of bed and opened the closet, took out the sweatshirt and put it on, washed my face again, grabbed the key on the shoe cabinet and went out.

As soon as I locked the door, the elevator door on the other side opened. The assistant stepped out of the elevator room in a hurry with big bags and small bags, and bumped into me.

"Ouch," she yelled first, covering her forehead, looked up to see me, and opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Boss, why are you still running outside?"

I staggered her and walked out: "Headache, go for a run."

"It's not like you haven't eaten all day, go back to bed and rest, I'll cook porridge for you right away, and I even bought..."

"You do it first, I'll be back in a while." I waved my hand, ignored her persuasion, and went straight into the stairwell.

It's summer.Although the feeling of winter in the southern cities is not so strong, only when the evening wind is really blowing in front of you, you will find that the bone-freezing chill has been completely replaced by a gentle coolness.The tireless chirping of cicadas sounded again, and the bright moon was hanging in the sky.

There is a small park in the community. There are children playing roller skating and skateboarding here on weekdays. It just rained this morning, and the open space covered by the shade of trees is still wet, and water drops from the treetops from time to time, so today No one gathered here tonight.

I took two steps, adjusted my breathing, and slowly ran around the outside of the small park.The rustling of the night wind, the buzzing of insects, and the noise of feasting and drinking in the distance, gradually became clearer and blurred as he ran.

Now, I can only hear the beating of my own heart, one after another, strong and powerful.

My legs are already sore, but I dare not stop.

Because I'm not sure, Gou Meng is no longer by my side, is this method still effective?

I'm not sure how long I ran, but it should be longer than the last time. I had to stop because the assistant came downstairs to find me. She stopped me with her arms wide open, her face full of worry, but her tone was unprecedented. Stern: "Boss, you can't run anymore."

I bent down, put my hands on my knees, and breathed with my mouth wide open. After a while, I straightened up and responded to her: "I, I can still hold it."

She frowned and looked serious: "Boss, I think the most important thing you should do now is go home and have a good meal, then rest, instead of abusing yourself here."

I smiled and was about to speak, when at this moment, a gust of wind blew her half-curled hair over her shoulders and covered her face. It is quite feminine after the roll.

From this, I suddenly realized that I didn't know her at all after spending more than two years with her.

I just joined the company more than two years ago, and she was the first person I knew. At that time, I was still immersed in the grief of the sudden end of my free life, and I was extremely perfunctory about the work at hand. It was she who worked overtime to help me Clean up the mess, and finally pile the fruits of her labor on my head.Although she was laughing and joking on weekdays, and complained for a long time when she received work, she never lost the link... Uh, except for the time when she missed Mengmeng's text message.

However, I don't know which university she graduated from, and I don't care about her work habits. I don't even remember whether I said thank you to her every time I handed over my own work to her.

Not only her, I never seem to care about anyone in my life, most of them don't even have a formal name in my memory.I know that there is always a banquet in the world, people come and go, there is no need to stay for anyone, they gather and disperse, and they have nothing to do with each other.I was afraid of emptying my heart into the running water, but quietly became indifferent from the bottom of my heart.

I raised my hand to cover my eyes, and pressed my thumb and middle finger gently to my temple.

I use indifference as an excuse and take it as my attitude towards life, so that when failure comes, I can retain a trace of humble dignity.

it is ridiculous.

"Boss?" Seeing me standing still, the assistant raised his hand and shook it in front of my eyes, "Go back."

I gently pushed her hand away and blinked at her: "Okay."

The assistant froze for a while, seemed to feel that my mood had changed too suddenly, raised his eyebrows, and finally turned around and went upstairs with me without saying a word.

I obediently finished the light dinner she cooked, and ate two chicken nuggets while she was not paying attention, then obediently lay back on the bed, drank a pack of cold medicine, and waved to her: "Go back quickly."

"Okay." She picked up her bag, "If you're still not feeling well tomorrow..."

"It's okay, I will go to work on time tomorrow, hehe." I shrank under the quilt again, and the soles of my feet were still a little cold.

"Oh." She glanced at her watch and murmured, "It's so late, I'll call my boyfriend to pick me up."

"Ah! You already have a boyfriend?!" I sat up from the bed in surprise, "When did it happen?"

She put on eyeliner today, and she rolled her eyes with emotion: "I'm ready to get married, okay?"

"Fuck, trough?" I was a little overwhelmed.

She sighed faintly, with an expression that she had known earlier: "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry these days, I have to get rid of the trouble first."

"Could the trouble you're talking about be..." I asked uncertainly.

She raised the corner of her mouth and waved her fist into the air: "Nonsense! Of course it's that monstrous cousin of yours. I'm so mad that he embarrasses you in public and must be eradicated."

I was ashamed and moved: "Thank you for doing so much for me."

She shook her head righteously, and said earnestly: "Boss, we are in the trenches. Although you are lazy and smart, you are really a good person. My colleagues and I will always protect you!"

"Uh...thank you very much." I twitched the corners of my mouth and gave her a polite smile.

She pushed open the door: "Go to bed first, I will sit in the living room for a while, and I will close the door for you later."

"Okay." I hid under the quilt again, only showing a pair of eyes, and said in a muffled voice, "Oh, by the way, your makeup is a bit messy, go and fix it."

"Huh?...Okay." She walked out.

"and many more."

"Huh?" She paused, then stuck her head back into the room to look at me.

I also buried my eyes in the quilt, and said timidly: "From now on... don't call me a fool behind my back, okay?"

After waiting for a while, without waiting for a response, I secretly peeked at her with half of my eyes.

The assistant was dumbfounded at first, with an expression of embarrassment and guilt for being exposed for doing bad things, but soon smiled again.She said: "Okay, then you have to act like a boss, beat your cousin hard, let him go back where he came from!"

"Well... I will try my best."

She nodded at me and quickly slipped out of the room.

When the surroundings became quiet again, I turned around and slept on my side, with a huge pillow tightly sandwiched between my legs, pretending that my arms were full and warm.The headache is not so painful anymore, I don't know whether it is due to my sweating exercise or the hot porridge cooked by my assistant, or the two chicken nuggets that I have eaten so far.

Go to sleep, go to sleep, I said to myself, I will continue to struggle tomorrow.

Ah, I wish I had him in my dreams.

Good night, Mengmeng, we will meet again soon, if you don't come to me, I will find you.

The author has something to say: Xiaotian is about to explode into a small universe!

However, work and life may not be smooth sailing.

Although I am a real mother (cough cough) but Goldfinger will not open Orz indiscriminately

Countdown to Mengmeng's comeback
