"Student Lin?" Lin Xinlan was still confused by the questions. She was always so slow. "How do you know my surname is Lin?"
Chi Shengrui's eyes drifted for a second, but then he calmed down and pointed to the work pass hanging in front of her chest." Anyone with eyes can know that your name is Lin Xinlan!”
"Oh, I…What did you just say? You said you're new here?" Lin Xinlan, who finally understood the situation, realized that she had made a mistake and mistook him for a student who had come to inquire about the registration.
"Yes, Sister Qin just brought me here. It just so happened that you weren't here. She had something to do and left first. She said that you know everything about work, and she wants you to teach me.”
"Oh, I see!" She nodded in realization. Then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, she said in embarrassment,"I'm sorry. I thought you were…"
"It's okay. We'll be colleagues from now on. You're welcome!”
" Okay, then let me tell you the details of a clerk's job first. It's actually very simple. Sister Qin might have already told you some of it during your interview. Let me show you some information about the organization first…"
The " Sister Qin " they were talking about was a university graduate. She used to be a part-time student at this training institution. After graduation, she stayed in the institution as a full-time teacher, clerk, and business manager. Lin Xinlan and Chi Shengrui would always look for her if they had any work problems. Her name was Qin Xi. She was modest but had the potential of a strong woman in her bones. She was a senior who Lin Xinlan liked and admired very much.
That was the first time they got along. The two of them completed her usual workload together, and Lin Xinlan felt extremely relaxed. Especially when it came to the huge pile of student data that gave Lin Xinlan the biggest headache. It was easy, but the amount was too much, and it was endless.
After that day, this heavy work was handed over to Chi Shengrui. At first, he sat in front of the computer and recorded with "relish". Later, whenever Lin Xinlan brought a pile of materials in front of him, he would put on a bitter face and say with grievance,"Student Lin, is it fun to treat me as a coolie?”
"This is your job, your responsibility! Didn't Sister Qin say that you still need more exercise? I'm giving you a chance."
"Thank you for the opportunity!" He replied unhappily and continued to work.
Thinking about it, he also felt a little regretful. He was the eldest young master of the Chi family who only cared about clothes and food since he was young. He had always been the one ordering others and instructing others. Other than his parents, no one had ever asked him to do anything. Now, he had to endure all kinds of her commands. It was fine if it was her orders, but the key was that this d * mn clerk job was really boring. If this continued, he could not guarantee that he would not be ground into a log that only knew how to type on the keyboard.
There was a very long street to go from the training institution to Lin Xinlan's school. This street was the busiest street in the university town. Every evening, the street would be crowded with people and it was very lively. Every time Lin Xinlan passed by this street after work, she would be drowned in the crowd. She didn't walk in a hurry. Sometimes, she even preferred the feeling of being pushed forward. It was as if she could not see her loneliness at this moment. It was also only at this moment that she felt that there were still so many people breathing in the world. She had no reason to think about what would happen if she stopped breathing and went to the world he was in. What would happen if she was missing in this world?
Without her, the world would not change. The street was still bustling with activity every evening, and these people were still breathing at different frequencies. The only difference was that her family would be sad and in pain. She would never have the chance to see her best friend again. She was gone. Everything that had nothing to do with her was no different, but she still had so many things that she could not let go of. There were responsibilities and regrets. She could not be as selfish as him, but she could not really let go.
He was gone, but he was in her heart, always present, everywhere. He once said that one day, someone who could give her happiness would appear and he would take care of her on his behalf. Every time she thought of this, her heart ached so much that she could not breathe. He had already left, so why should he care about her future? He was no longer around. Who else in this world could give her happiness?
The reason why people would worry and look forward to it was because the future was always full of variables. Until the last moment, no one could be sure that the expected answer was the final result. Even if they were sure of the result, it was just a coincidence that they guessed the ending.
There were not many coincidences in life. Just like how Chi Shengrui did not meet Lin Xinlan by chance, many things were both man-made and predestined.
When did autumn pass? When did winter quietly arrive? Lin Xinlan was oblivious to all of this. It was only when she saw the snowflakes flying in the sky that she realized that winter had really arrived.
She stood on the path next to the school building and looked at the falling snowflakes, sinking into a long memory. Was it snowing in Georgopol at this time? In the winter of a year ago, there were a few heavy snowfalls in Georgopol. For a few days, the whole world was white.
No one passed by this remote path. In addition, it was snowing heavily now, so many people hid in the classrooms or dormitories to keep warm. It wasn't that she wasn't afraid of the cold. She just wanted to go out for a walk after staying in the dormitory for a long time. When she came out, it was only snowing lightly. She didn't care too much about it. She thought that it would only be snowing for a while, but she didn't expect that the snow would get heavier as she walked. She didn't have an umbrella, nor did she want to find a place to hide. Walking in the heavy snow, she didn't feel cold, only pain.
Winter of That Year, that snowy day. He pulled her along an empty street and walked slowly. They kept walking forward as if there was no end. It was as if they would continue walking forever. His hands, his embrace, his warmth, his eyes, his smile…It was as if everything was still in front of her eyes, as if it was just yesterday. He was still so clear in her memories, but why was she the only one left now? From this winter onwards, would she be the only one left every winter?
Every time it snowed, Lu Xiao Yue would pull her along and run around in the snow frantically, building snowmen. At that time, they would wrap their pure white school uniforms around their thick down jackets. When they stood in the snow, they would be covered in snow and become a living snowman. Or they would act as a snow sculpture and stand quietly. The competition said that whoever moved first would lose. The loser would have to buy breakfast for the winner for a week. At that time, it was a boring game in the eyes of others, but they played it to their heart's content.
She reached out and caught some snowflakes. The flawless snowflakes quickly turned into a puddle of water in her hand. She retracted her hand and looked at the snow that was getting thicker and thicker. Suddenly, she wanted to build a snowman. She looked around but there was no one. Hence, she squatted down and gently scooped up the white snow with her fair and slender hands. A very cold feeling spread through her entire body through her hands until she became numb and no longer felt cold.
She kept piling up the snow around her, and soon the snowman was built. She patted the snowman's body with her hands that were already red from the cold. This way, it would be stronger and not easy to fall. Then, it was the snowman's head, eyes, nose, mouth... It was as if a warm current was slowly flowing down from its cold face and dripping onto the little snowman's body. Soon, the little snowman was riddled with holes.
" I'm sorry, I'm sorry…" she murmured, constantly saying " I'm sorry." It was as if she was talking to the snowman that she had just built and destroyed with her tears, or to the girl who had left her life. In the past, when they built snowmen together, she was the one who built the body. Lu Xiaoyue drew the eyes, nose, and mouth. Sometimes, she would even make beautiful ears for the snowman and put on a beautiful and unique hat. But now, without her, she couldn't make a beautiful snowman by herself. It turned out that there were some things that could not be done by just one person if two people were used to it.
Her tears were like a flood that could not be stopped. She threw herself onto the ice-cold snowman and sobbed softly. The temperature of her body seemed to be unable to melt the frozen snowman. She pressed her face against the snowman's body, but she could not feel a trace of cold. Only the warm liquid flowing out of her eyes could make her feel that she was still conscious.
Her body and hair were covered in snow. She stuck close to the snowman as if she had become one with it. She did not know that from afar, she really looked no different from a snowman.
A blue checkered umbrella suddenly appeared above her head. Before she could look up to see what was going on, she was scooped up by someone. She was a little tired, probably because she had cried and squatted for too long. She was a little weak and her vision was a little blurry. She fell to the person beside her as she stood unsteadily.
"Lin Xinlan, do you want to die?!" An angry voice came from above.
She grabbed his arm with both hands and leaned against his arm to support herself. She steadied herself and slowly regained her consciousness. She looked up at Chi Shengrui, who was full of black lines, and turned her eyes away awkwardly.
"Why are you here?"
"I…I came to your school to look for a friend and happened to see you here. You…What happened to you to torture yourself like this?”Of course, he couldn't tell her that he had come to her school to look for her. He had her number, but he didn't want her to know that he was here for her. He happened to run into one of her roommates when he was downstairs of her dormitory. Her roommate said that she wasn't around, so he wandered around the school to try his luck. She didn't have much hope at first, but when she passed by the teaching building, she saw her squatting on the snow with a snowman in her arms.
