Life is bloody eight o'clock

On Wednesday, Xu Douxiao was going to participate in an industry forum in other places. The place was quite close. The high-speed train only took more than an hour, but the meeting schedule was intensive. From [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, he had no leisure time.Ning Jun chose this time to visit Xu Douxiao's apartment.

When she got off work, she sent Xu Douxiao a WeChat message.

"Honey, I can't find a USB flash drive. It seems that I forgot it with you. I need to use the information in it for tomorrow's meeting. I will go and look for it later."

"Okay, you can sleep in my place at night, it's still close to the company."

"Got it, take care of your body and don't work too hard."

Ning Jun stared at Xu Douxiao's cute expression on the dumpling at his work station for a while. People's hearts are like this. When there is nothing wrong, what the other party does is sweet and warm. Once there is doubt, what the other party does is hypocrisy. fake.

How sweet it was before, how sad it is now.

Xu Douxiao's apartment is very close to the company, and it takes only 15 minutes to walk. As a high-end community that has been built for only three years, the environment here is beautiful and the security is complete. Every time you pass through a door, you have to swipe your card.

Ning Jun and Xu Douxiao got a spare key to Xu Douxiao's house after three months of dating, but they are rarely used. They are an office romance, and this is an apartment provided by the company. Several executives are in Xu Douxiao's building. The neighbors upstairs and downstairs, in order to avoid suspicion, they usually date at Ning Jun's hut.

This was the first time she went to his home without Xu Douxiao's presence.

Xu Douxiao's apartment is not too big. In the imperial capital where every inch of land is expensive, the most promising executives of emerging industries live in a one-bedroom apartment of less than 70 square meters. He has no idea about home furnishing, and lives in a working apartment Living a two-point and one-line life, going to work and dating Ning Jun every day, the time at home is pitifully small. To him, it is just a place to sleep, so naturally he doesn't bother to decorate it. All the furnishings in the house are all from the apartment itself. Take, the reason why the house can be kept tidy is the credit of the hourly workers three times a week.

Xu Douxiao seldom eats at home. The open kitchen is basically a decoration. He turned the peninsula into a home coffee shop. There are professional coffee machines and coffee beans from all over the world. Freshly ground and cold brew can be done at home.

At first Ning Jun thought that he was an expert in coffee, but after trying it, he realized that Xu Douxiao’s coffee making skills can only be described as terrible. Coffee is just a refreshing thing for him. Most of these coffee beans are gifts. Who bought him all these fancy things to keep him there?

She had never thought about this issue before, it was just Xu Douxiao's whim but failed to persist. Now it seems that there is a lot behind the gift.

Xu Douxiao’s living room is also a study room. There is a computer on a large desk, and behind it is a wall of bookshelves. Half of them are books on programming, and the other half are books on economics. There are also a few popular books among them. Some are in Chinese, and more are in English. Ning Jun came to see his bookshelf before, but because the reading scope of the two basically did not overlap, she didn't read it carefully. Today, when she has time and purpose, Ning Jun touched them row by row. In the most convenient row, she found a small box, made of kraft cardboard, solid color, ordinary box without any decoration, it looked like a shoe box, but it was a little smaller. Circle, it's unremarkable, like some cheap packaging that you forgot to throw away.

Ning Jun opened it, and there were only three things inside.

A row of 8 lighters neatly packed in a crystal box. The lighters are different in height, short, fat, and thin, but they can be accurately stuck in the groove of the box. They are obviously custom-made. Ning Jun took out the lighters and found that each lighter There is a year below. From ten years ago to two years ago, the quality of lighters has become better and better, and the brands have become more and more expensive. It can be seen that the financial strength of the buyers has continued to increase.

Ning Jun took a deep breath, it's nothing, she comforted herself, Xu Douxiao has an ex that he never forgets, I know.

As a man, the red and white roses are always the ones you can't get, and you have deep affection, but the past is like smoke, so don't pay too much attention to it.

She picked up another ring, 925 silver, with a plain ring, which was incomparable to the one she was wearing, but the English word "enteral" was engraved on the inner ring of the ring.

This is nothing, she thought, who has never sworn to each other with their first love.When she fell in love in college, she still felt that the relationship between the two was long-lasting and eternal, and it didn't mean that they parted ways in the end.

She finally picked up the pocket watch, which looked very cheap at first glance, like a souvenir worth tens of dollars in a tourist attraction, with a crude European emblem on the cover, and the fat lion with its front paws raised was surrounded by crooked flames, she opened it There is a line of small characters engraved on the inside of the pocket watch, the standard regular script, it seems that because of the lack of tools, some places have lost their proportions. Although it is a pity, the words are full of affection.

"One day lovesickness, twelve o'clock. Yuan."

Thanks to Fengyue's blessing, Ning Jun's understanding of Yuan Ben has reached a point where she is terrified. She knows his exercise habits, eating preferences, dressing style, reading range, making friends, writing, and naturally knows Yuan Ben's writing style. There is a hand-carved chapter with the word "source" on it.Its reason is the same as that of Yuan, and its meaning is close to the original. It is his most commonly used chapter.

Lovesickness walks, lovesickness sits.The two places love each other and know each other.Lovesickness more.

Lovesickness in the morning, lovesickness in the evening.Lovesick at twelve o'clock a day.Endless lovesickness.

There is also a line of date engraved on the back of the pocket watch, which is Xu Douxiao's first year studying abroad.

Ning Jun recalled all the incidents when he ran into Xu Douxiao's college roommate, and Daniel teased Xu Douxiao's saying "come with your lover".

Daniel asked her if she had seen Xu Douxiao's ex.

Daniel advised her to think twice about marriage matters.

Daniel's expression of disapproval towards Xu Douxiao.

Exactly.The only person who can accompany Xu Douxiao to the exhibition is his lover. Isn't there such a person who has a taste for art around him?

She has met, not only met, but also had a good time talking, and she has been trying her best to bring him and Xu Douxiao back together.

How good is it?Is it so good that her marriage is going to stop?

Ning Jun was not reconciled, she was [-]% reconciled, it was just a word, and there was a girl named Yuan, she struggled desperately to open Xu Douxiao's computer, and finally found an encrypted folder.

She tried Xu Douxiao's birthday, her own birthday (purely out of female self-esteem), Yuan Ben's birthday (relieved when she found something wrong), the day when Xu Douxiao became a partner, and everything she could think of. Wake up is an important day for Xu Douxiao.None of them are right.

Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly remembered something, which also came from Nong Fengyue's information.

From "Did you find that Xu Yuan's relationship seems to be different after returning from the trip", she called up the post and entered the last day of the trip "0925".

The folder was opened, and there was only one protagonist—Yuan Ben—in the entire folder of photos and videos.

The video with the earliest opening date of Ningjun Machinery is Yuan Ben’s dance performance at the party. He is wearing a white shirt, black leather vest, and a silver mask. Like a prince's new clothes.

She also remembered a post "Sorry, there is no Yuan Ben's dance program this year", which mentioned how Yuan Ben's dance program that was unanimously approved at the sophomore welcome party was rejected.

"I know this stuff, I was there at the time. That year I was a little transparent who had just joined the student union, and I attended the meeting for the first time.

At the meeting, a lottery was drawn to decide who would perform on stage. At that time, Minister Yuan was unfortunately recruited. Tian Yu suggested that he should just dance. Everyone (note that everyone including Yuan Ben himself) thought it was feasible and began to discuss what song to choose. Chairman Xu coughed and said he didn't feel well.

The reason he gave was that Yuan Ben twisted his waist some time ago, and line dancing in a short period of time would cause too much harm to his body.

Minister Yuan was stunned for a moment and said yes, but I have already drawn it, so I have to act.

Tian Yu also said that he would like to play and sing on the guitar.

Minister Yuan glanced at Chairman Xu and said it's okay, but I'm boring by myself, and I don't have much to watch, so why don't you let Old Xu cooperate with me.

Chairman Xu actually didn't like this kind of work, and he didn't get recruited, but he still agreed, so the program of the orientation meeting became their guitar and piano ensemble. "

In that post, Xu Douxiao and Yuan Ben's inner activities were also analyzed in detail.

"Xu Douxiao disagreed with Yuan Ben's dancing, apparently because of Yuan Ben's injured waist, but from 207L's description, it is doubtful whether his waist was injured or not.

With Yuan's instinct to lie down or not to sit, and the basketball team's temper to escape when he can, it is actually impossible for him to dance with injuries.

I'm more inclined that Xu Douxiao simply doesn't want him to jump. In view of the reaction in the building, this precaution is quite necessary.

Then Tian Yu suggested that he play the guitar and sing, and Yuan Ben immediately invited Xu Douxiao to come together, probably because he saw Xu Douxiao's intentions and used this method to coax people.

You see how obedient I am, if you say you don’t want to dance, you don’t want to dance, but the show still has to be performed, so let’s do it together.

Yuan Ben's two programs were proposed by Tian Yu. From Xu Douxiao's point of view, it is that childhood sweethearts are really different.

So Lao Yuan immediately expressed his opinion. Although Tian Yu knows me, we are the closest, and I only perform shows with you. "

She stared blankly at Yuan Ben taking off his mask, and threw the roses in his hand to the audience. Hearing the screams of the little girl in the audience, she thought to herself: If it was me, I wouldn’t The one who let him on stage, such a handsome person, can only be mine.

She watched a video in which Xu Douxiao and Yuan Ben sang together. Xu Douxiao was sitting in the middle of the stage playing the piano in a casual shirt. Yuan Ben was wearing a linen shirt with rolled up sleeves. The shirt was unbuttoned two times. Leaning on the piano and holding the guitar, their voices are so harmonious, and their eyes are full of affection, as if they see the whole world in each other's eyes.

Ning Jun couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
