The next morning, the weather was a little stuffy. The weather forecast said that it would rain in the next few days. Xing Lan woke up very early because artistic conception painting was a work that required inspiration. He had to perfect his work every time inspiration came.
"Drawing?"
While Xing Lan was deep in thought, Jing Han, who was dressed in pajamas, came to his side with sleepy eyes.
"Uh, you're up so early?"
He raised his head and looked at Jing Han and Xing Lan in puzzlement. In Xing Lan's impression, Jing Han and Yu Xuan would not wake up until nine or ten o'clock.
"It's still early. It's already 8:30. I still have to go to work today. If I don't get up soon, I'll be late.”
Jing Han looked at Xing Lan and smiled sweetly. The drowsy Jing Han looked like a cartoon in Xing Lan's eyes, very funny.
"It's already 8:30 p. m. No way. D * mn, it's really past 8 p. m. I'm dumbfounded.”
Looking at his watch, it was indeed past eight o'clock. Xing Lan could not help but smile bitterly. In his eyes, it had only been a few minutes since he woke up.
"Don't disturb the painter. It's not good to interrupt him when he's thinking clearly.”
While the two of them were talking, Yuxuan walked out of the room in his pajamas and said in a teasing tone.
"You're not serious."
Xing Lan said.
"I won't disturb you anymore. We're about to go to work.”
Jing Han said as she walked towards Xiang Mian. She wanted to wash up.
"En, be careful on the road."
Xing Lan returned his gaze to the screen. He needed to keep an electronic copy of his drawing.
Tian Ya and his friends had said more than once that Xing Lan was a career maniac. He always forgot about time and even his meals because of his career. Xing Lan did not believe it in the past because he did not want others to be right about him. However, from this moment on, Xing Lan had to admit that Tian Ya was not lying.
"You're really hardworking."
Gao Wei watched as Xing Lan finished speaking and walked into the room.
"Hmm? Why are you here? Weren't you tired from work last night? Why aren't you sleeping now?”
Looking at Gao Wei, Xing Lan fixed his gaze on the screen once again. Because today's work was coming to an end, he had to finish it as soon as possible. Xing Lan was very puzzled by Gao Wei's arrival because Gao Wei had to work the night after. Every night after work, Gao Wei would not wake up until the afternoon.
"Still sleeping? I've already slept. Boss, it's already eleven o'clock.”
Gao Wei said with an expression as if he was going to eat someone up.
"D * mn, I didn't even look at my watch. What's wrong? Do you have something on today? Why are you up so early?”
Xing Lan looked at his watch and fixed his gaze on the screen again.
"Now I realize that you're really a little abnormal.”
Gao Wei was still having a headache over Xing Lan's words.
"Haven't you heard? When the whole world thinks you're a lunatic, you're getting closer and closer to success. Maybe you think I'm a lunatic now, but I know I haven't succeeded yet.”
Xing Lan looked at the screen, but his hands did not stop moving. This was because his work had already reached the most critical moment.
"I really don't know what triggered you to become like this. Forget it, I'll forgive you this time. Are you going to leave your job soon? I have to find a job. I heard that the profits in sales are quite high and there's a future.”
Gao Wei lit a cigarette and explained to Xing Lan.
Xing Lan did not respond. He was only paying attention to his work. Gao Wei looked at him from behind, not knowing what to do for a moment.
"Ha, ah, it's finally over. What did you say just now? Who are you going to find?”
After a while, Xing Lan stretched his back and turned around to ask Gao Wei. The words he said made Gao Wei smile bitterly.
"F * ck, I'm impressed. Find Da Peng to do sales.”
Gao Wei took a deep puff of his cigarette as he spoke and rolled his eyes at Xing Lan.
Da Peng was Xing Lan's comrade. Xing Lan did not have much contact with him, so he did not ask too much.
"Will sales work?"
Looking at Gao Wei, Xing Lan also lit up a cigarette.
"Why not? People in sales make more money now.”
Gao Wei introduced many examples of successful sales to Xing Lan. Xing Lan did not say anything because he did not know the people and things that Gao Wei mentioned.
"Forget it. I wish you success. Tell me about my matter. I've already thought about it. I'll work in your company first. At the very least, I'll get through the current difficulties first.”
After Xing Lan finished speaking, he looked at his completed work.
"You want to be a security guard?"
Gao Wei sounded a little regretful.
"What else can I do besides being a security guard?”
Xing Lan had an indifferent expression.
"I think you shouldn't come. The security guards here are very easy to deal with. If you really want to find a job, I can introduce you to a workshop job.”
Gao Wei advised.
"Where are the security guards?"
Xing Lan's tone was filled with unwillingness. Xing Lan knew the nature of security work and he did not like this kind of work. Xing Lan knew that in Beijing, the work of a security guard was the same as a cleaner in the hearts of the people. However, Xing Lan knew his current situation. He did not want to ask for help but hoped that he could have a transition. At the very least, he could have a quiet creative environment.
"Alright, I'll go back to the company and tell the director later. You can come when the time comes. Now is the time to hire people, so it's easy to arrange work.”
After Gao Wei finished speaking, he lowered his head and walked out of the room. Xing Lan knew that Gao Wei was also very unwilling to accept his decision.
"Thanks."
Xing Lan smiled as he watched Gao Wei leave. He did not send him off because Xing Lan was not as happy as he appeared to be.
After closing the door, Xing Lan placed his hands into his hair. When he raised his head again, Xing Lan's gaze became resolute. Xing Lan was determined. He had to succeed.
In the afternoon, the originally clear sky suddenly rumbled with thunder, followed by a drizzle. The place where Xing Lan lived was a depression, and the rainwater flowed down the mottled path to form a stream that flowed down happily. In Xing Lan's eyes, the stream was blissful. Whether it evaporated or flowed, it would eventually merge into a huge group. Even if it was lonely, it could only be temporary.
Because they had to consider the huge expense of having a meal together, Xinglan suggested that they cook for themselves. Fortunately, the cutlery that Gao Wei had bought for his dormitory had not been used, so Xinglan's wish was fulfilled that night. Among the few of them, only Xinglan and Yuxuan knew how to cook. Yuxuan still had to work, so the burden of cooking naturally fell on Xinglan's shoulders alone. Xinglan had started cooking since she was eight years old, but the food now did not taste good at all. This was because Xinglan, who was used to frying pans, was not used to electric rice cookers. Xing Lan didn't explain his food because everything was entertainment in itself. These few days, Gao Wei, Ya Bin, and the others had been eating at Xing Lan's place. There were five or six people, and it was like a harmonious family.
"Did they bring umbrellas?"
The night had already turned completely dark, and the rain was getting heavier. Xing Lan covered the food he had prepared and looked at the downcast curtain of rain as he muttered in his heart. After thinking for a while, Xing Lan dialed Gao Wei's number.
"Hey, did Jinghan and the others bring an umbrella? What if they didn't bring an umbrella when it rained?”
Xing Lan answered the call immediately. Xing Lan had a habit of not calling girls.
"I don't know. Wait for me to ask them.”
Gao Wei hung up the phone.
Not long after, Gao Wei replied,"Hello, Xinglan, you go ahead. Jinghan will be back soon. I'm still at work. I have something to do, so I won't talk to you.”
Gao Wei hung up the phone after saying that. Xing Lan thought about it and walked into the rain with an umbrella.
The road was filled with rainwater, and Xing Lan's jeans were half wet. Fortunately, he did not feel cold in the summer. Xing Lan quickened his pace and walked towards the bus stop. Perhaps it was because it had been a long time, but Xing Lan always felt that the two girls needed to be taken care of. However, no matter how one looked at it, Xing Lan's worry was unnecessary. Although Jing Han did not bring an umbrella, she had borrowed one.
"I borrowed an umbrella. Why are you here?”
Jing Han, who had just gotten out of the car, walked into the almost drenched Xing Lan and rebuked.
"Damn it, Gao Wei didn't tell me. Where's Yuxuan? Why didn't she come back together?”
Xing Lan looked around and did not find Yu Xuan.
"She's with a friend and won't be coming back today.”
Jing Han explained.
The people in the rain were all running along the road, only Xing Lan and the other two were talking to each other.
"Is she far from her friend's house? Did she bring an umbrella?”
Looking at Jing Han, Xing Lan was anxious.
"Aiya, she's fine. She's already an adult, yet she can't control herself. You're just worrying for nothing.”
Jinghan never cared about anything.
"Let's go then."
As he spoke, Xing Lan looked around before turning around and walking towards his accommodation. Jing Han walked very carefully.
"I'm really unlucky. I just changed my shoes today.”
Jing Han took off her shoes as she spoke and walked forward barefooted under Xing Lan's strange gaze.
"Can't you be more ladylike? I'm really impressed by you.”
After understanding Xing Lan, he really wondered why Jing Han wasn't a man.
"What makes you a lady?"
Jing Han pouted and pretended to be angry.
"Look at the pants you're wearing. They're too ugly.”
Ignoring Jing Han, Xing Lan pointed at her tight jeans and walked forward.
"Can't you say something nice?"
"What is considered nice?"
"For example, I'm dressed up beautifully.”
Jing Han said smugly.
"I'm sorry, I'm a good citizen and haven't learned how to lie yet. Otherwise, I'll be the first to tell you when I learn.”
Xing Lan teased.
Xing Lan couldn't help but admire Jing Han for being able to cause trouble. In his eyes, Jing Han seemed to not know fatigue. Furthermore, Xing Lan also discovered that no matter who Jing Han was with, she could cause trouble. There were many times when Xing Lan thought that such a person should be the only person left in High Heavens who didn't have any troubles.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the wind was blowing outside. Jinghan ate something and went to sleep first. She sat in front of the computer and continued to draw. Recently, because of the problems with her work, Xing Lan had been very excited. She had put in so much effort, but her results had not been ideal.
