straight to heaven

Resumption of work is on January [-]rd.The subway car was overcrowded, and I grabbed the boom to send emails with one hand, and the attachments had to be named with dates. Only then did I really realize that the commonly used four-digit number had been added by one, and it was a new year.

When he arrived at the office, Xie Yi was a little depressed. He was yawning at first, but when he looked up and saw me, he froze for a few seconds.

"You have a cold?" he asked.

I took off my coat and the mask covered half of my face.I pressed the sides of my nose, but didn't pick it off: "...a little bit."

Xie Yi opened the drawer, the flat cube was stuffed with sundries, and the rollers made an unpleasant sound when they were overwhelmed, "I have medicine here, do you want it?"

I shook my head: "I have eaten. Thank you."

"Why are you being polite to me?" Xie Yi cut me: "Take off the mask, the heater is turned on to 27 degrees, isn't it hot when you cover it? I'm not afraid of you getting infected."

The ramblings are good intentions.

I paused, but changed the subject: "How was your candlelight dinner?"

When he mentioned this, his face turned black immediately: "Don't mention it. The candle is still burning, and it almost didn't burn into a will-o'-the-wisp."

Xie Yi and his wife have been married for almost four years.The woman is a well-known psychological counselor, gentle and kind, with a successful career, and the relationship between the two has always been good.But in recent months, the husband and wife have been arguing constantly, and Xie Yi hangs up with each other day after day, often looking listless and tired, even I have heard about it.

The contradictions focus on the unavoidable issue of domestic families-children, or childbirth.

Considering that both husband and wife are very busy at work, and the woman does not want to give birth to offspring without giving them enough love and family education, Xie Yi also thought so in the early years, but now his mentality has changed.

"You criticize." Xie Yi scolded: "Let's not say that both of our parents are rushing here, and your sister-in-law and I are also 33 after the new year. Strictly speaking, we are already middle-aged. Is it wrong for me to want a child now? She should be wronged, and I shouldn't be wronged? "

It's not convenient for me to comment on housework.But after being silent for a while, I still said, "The price of being pregnant in October is very high. You have to be considerate."

Xie Yi: "Hey. Where are you from?"

"It's neither." I thought of my mother and myself, so I told him: "Love and companionship are very important. My sister-in-law studies psychology. She should be more aware of the influence of her native family."

"..." Xie Yi was speechless: "Forget it, why should I tell you this as a single dog. When I am of my age, I get married, there are old and young, and you will understand."

"..."

If the words are not speculative, I simply shut up.

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

"By the way." Xie Yi changed the subject, changed the topic, and smiled meaningfully, "After the quarrel on the New Year's Eve night, I didn't want to go home early, so I smoked a few cigarettes under Wanmao. Guess what? What do you see?"

Hearing "Wanmao", my throat tightened, and I pulled up the mask nervously: "...what."

He hooked his hand, and waited for me to approach with a stapler before opening his mouth in a weird way.

"I saw people kissing, two men." He smiled meanly: "The scene was so fucking intense."

With a "snap", I slammed down the stapler in my hand.

I lowered my head, only to find that the nail was stuck on the word at the corner of the material.

It's invalid, and it needs to be hit again.

As I thought about it, the heater couldn't even warm my fingers, and the joints were so stiff that it was hard to move.

Pulling on the mask again, I coughed twice: "Oh."

Xie Yi raised his eyebrows: "Don't you find it exciting?"

I panicked for a second, then quickly calmed down, and asked blankly, "Is it exciting?"

Xie Yi tutted and said, "It's really a three-year generation gap. Is gay kissing a small scene in the eyes of you post-[-]s?"

This was heard by a female colleague, who quickly rolled over with a stool: "What gay? What kiss? Let me hear it."

Her computer desktop is full of kissing pictures of two male idols in a popular group*—p’s—everyone knows.

At this time, Xie Yi shut up and pretended to be a joke.

The material crunched in my hands.Silence is the most painful when you have a guilty conscience.

After being addicted to the drama, he finally spoke.

"Just two men. They are not tall, and there is an earring tied along the ear bone. When I passed by, I glanced at them. They are not handsome. They are quite rebellious."

The creaking stopped, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The paper was torn and crumpled. I stood up and threw it all into the trash can.The force was a bit heavy, the lower plate of the barrel was unstable, and it shook twice.

"Hey, our Lin Zhu. Why are you so angry? You can't be afraid..." Xie Yi said with a hippie smile in the middle, suddenly stopped, stood up, and looked behind me.

"Hu, Hu Lu, are you here?"

I turned my head, and sure enough I saw Lao Hu coming in with a briefcase.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but it is a suit that he often wears, but today it has become too loose on him, and there is a little space under the front of the shirt.

After Pei Yan came to the airborne, the frequency of his appearance in the law firm visibly decreased to the naked eye.The last time I spoke in a work group, I just sent a few large WeChat red envelopes on New Year's Eve.

A lot of people are spreading rumors, saying that Lawyer Pei is coming in menacingly, and Lawyer Hu's power is gradually being released.Words imply that if you want to stand in line, you must hurry up.

I hate this argument.

Let's not talk about how stubborn Lao Hu is, just talk about Pei Yanlai.

Wearing layers of human skin is to satisfy the excessive desire to perform, and gathering favorable resources is added value.He values ​​power and doesn't love power. If he really wants to play, he will never use plague cat methods.

"Hulu."

"Morning Hulu."

"You're here, Hulu!"

……

The greetings are endless.

Lao Hu nodded and walked to the office.Walking inside, he took another step back: "Xiao Shan, come here."

I was taken aback.

After the door slamming incident, it was the first time I came to Lao Hu's office.

Lao Hu sat in the office chair and raised his shoulders. Visually, the feeling that the size of the clothes did not fit was even stronger.

"It's like this." He breathed out, clasped his hands, and put them on the table: "One month from tomorrow, I will go on a business trip to Guangzhou. There is something I want to entrust to you."

I nodded: "You said."

Lao Hu: "This Saturday morning, my daughter and son-in-law's family of three came back from abroad. I'm not here, so I would like to trouble you to pick up a plane for me."

If it is not necessary, Lao Hu will not send me for personal affairs, so I replied sincerely: "No trouble."

The task has been handed over.I turned around to leave, but Lao Hu stopped me again. "What's wrong with you? Wearing a mask all the time?"

I froze, and originally wanted to use the excuse of catching a cold to deal with it.But when I think about it, I still have to pick it when I eat lunch, and there is no need to hide it.

If you want to cover it up, make the next move.

Pulling off the mask, I twitched the corners of my mouth in embarrassment, and the wound with a thin layer of scab and the mandible were caused pain.

"Little accident."

After all, Lao Hu has seen the world.

The large bite wound on the corner of my mouth and the bruised finger marks on the left mandible were still ambiguous and terrifying after two days and two nights.

His face remained unchanged, and he only asked me to apply the medicine on time. Wearing a mask is not conducive to the recovery of the wound.A high-quality young man of the right age, with scars on his face affecting courtship.

I lowered my eyes and said yes, and threw the mask into the trash can when I went out.
