"What's wrong with you? Where did you go?”
Inside the room, Jing Han was holding a kitchen knife as she looked at the drenched Xing Lan and asked curiously. Xing Lan saw a cucumber on the chopping board on the table. Jing Han cut the cucumber into thin pieces.
"I was hungry and went to eat. What are you doing?”
As Xing Lan spoke, he went to wipe his head with a towel.
"I'm a little hungry too."
Jing Han said coquettishly.
"Please spare me. Look at what I've become.”
Xing Lan pointed at her wet clothes and said. Jing Han had returned earlier than Yu Xuan, so Xing Lan knew that she had already eaten.
"Xinglan, you guys go ahead. I have to go to work.”
Gao Wei, who was beside him, walked out as he spoke. Gao Wei took the only umbrella left.
"What are you doing?"
After Gao Wei left, Jing Han took the knife and continued her work. Her movements were very clumsy. Xing Lan knew that she had never held a knife before, so he asked worriedly.
"En, look."
Jing Han put down the knife and placed a slice of cucumber on her nose. She turned around and smiled at Xing Lan. She was cute with a hint of mischief.
"D * mn, I'm really impressed by you. Let me do it. I'm worried that you'll lose your hand later.”
As Xing Lan spoke, he picked up his knife.
"Please."
Jing Han immediately opened up a path, and Xing Lan rolled his eyes at her.
Jing Han, who was beside Xing Lan, would sometimes say it lightly and sometimes it became thick.
"I'm really speechless. It's so troublesome to work for you.”
Looking at Jing Han, Xing Lan pretended to be angry.
"Alright, alright, hurry up and cut. I know I was wrong.”
Jing Han begged with a smile.
"Cut out the one Xinglan gave me."
Yu Xuan, who was in another room, said in a strange tone.
"I've really been unlucky for eight lifetimes to meet the two of you in this life.”
Listening to Yu Xuan's words, Xing Lan muttered to himself, feeling indignant for himself. Jing Han listened to his whisper and giggled again.
"I realized why you guys are so vain. Will this thing work?”
He looked at Jing Han and spoke.
"Why wouldn't it work? That's what others say. Everyone has the heart to love beauty.”
Jing Han defended herself.
"Nonsense. If you ask me, it's just a habit. What beauty and ugliness? It's fine once you get used to it. Look at me now. I don't have to kneel down to myself when I look in the mirror anymore.”
After Xing Lan finished his seemingly teasing words, Jing Han burst out laughing.
"Alright, take your time."
Xing Lan placed the melon slices in a bowl and handed it to Jing Han. Jing Han stretched out her hand to receive it, her face still carrying a smile.
After Jing Han left the Star Barrier, she tidied up the room and returned her gaze to the screen.
"Dang dang dang, look Xinglan."
Xing Lan had just sat down when Jing Han summoned him from his door. Xing Lan looked over when he heard the voice. With just a glance, Jing Han covered her face and laughed uncontrollably before Xing Lan could say anything.
"Hehe, he really knows how to make a scene."
Jing Han stuck the melon slices all over her face, only revealing her eyes. Perhaps it was because she was embarrassed, but Jing Han laughed loudly as she walked into her room. Seeing Jing Han return to her room, Xing Lan smiled bitterly and shook his head, then turned his gaze back to the screen.
"Is it scary?"
Jing Han returned to the door and looked at Xing Lan.
"I'll take a picture of you and see if I can scare you to tears.”
As Xing Lan spoke, he took out his phone and took a photo of Jing Han. In the photo, Jing Han covered her face with one hand and bent down with a smile. Her face was full of melons, and in Xing Lan's eyes, she looked like a silly girl.
"Not good, Xinglan, I don't have enough.”
Yu Xuan called out loudly from within the room.
"You're really shameless. If it's not enough, then it's not enough.”
Xing Lan replied.
"Xinglan, who are you calling shameless?"
Yuxuan also walked out of the room with a blank face. Because of the blank face, Xing Lan could not see her expression. However, from her tone, Xing Lan could tell that Yuxuan was pretending to be angry. Jinghan, who was by Yuxuan's side, was already laughing hysterically.
"Alright, alright. I have a big face, okay? You guys go to sleep. I still have something to do.”
Xing Lan bowed deeply to Yu Xuan, who was standing at the door, to express his apology. Then, without looking at the two ladies, he closed his door. In the room, Xing Lan let out a deep breath the moment he closed the door.
"This is really too much trouble."
Xing Lan muttered to himself as he shook his head and walked towards the computer. His thoughts for the past few days had been stuck.
The next day, Xing Lan went to the company at four o'clock. Today was his middle shift. Although Xing Lan did not really like the job of a security guard, Xing Lan could not deny that working here was indeed very relaxing. He just had to be punctual every day. Furthermore, there was nothing special during the process of going to work. He went to work very casually. Xing Lan used this time to draft his work. Other than sleeping and eating, Xing Lan spent almost all his energy on his work. He also went to work when others went to work. When others went out to play, he had to take care of his own works. Without any results, Xing Lan could only bury his head and persevere. Those who had just met Xing Lan did not understand this kind of aimless work. They really did not understand why the good years of youth were wasted so easily. Xing Lan did not explain his doubts to them. He could only work harder to create. What Xing Lan did not tell them was that he also loved to play. He also wanted to use this time to have fun after work every day. Just like what they said, Xing Lan was also a young man.
"He's here."
Walking into the reception room, Peng Liang greeted Xing Lan in a friendly manner. Xing Lan was here to take over his shift.
Peng Liang was from Inner Mongolia. He usually liked to walk alone in the crowd. In the eyes of his colleagues, he was very unsociable. Therefore, Ya Bin, Gao Wei, and Wang Yu had a lot of complaints about Peng Liang. Peng Liang had a very good relationship with Xing Lan. If there was anything, he liked to look for Xing Lan. Xing Lan did not deny Gao Wei and the others 'opinions about Peng Liang because Xing Lan knew that they had been together for a long time. Xing Lan also did not deny Peng Liang's good treatment of him because this was the truth. However, Xing Lan would maintain a neutral stance most of the time. In Xing Lan's words, this was a habit and also a method. Sometimes, Xing Lan would also be troubled by his own habit and method because some people were indeed very good to him. However, no matter who it was, his habit was so cold-blooded and heartless. However, just as he said, there was no other way. Because he had experienced heart-wrenching pain, he understood that sometimes being cold-blooded was also a choice.
"Okay, you can get off work."
Putting down the book in his hand, Xing Lan replied.
"It's almost the end of the month. Yabin and the others are leaving, so we'll be the only ones left.”
Peng Liang, who was sitting on the sofa, said. Wang Bo had left his job not long after Xing Lan came to Beijing. Now, there were only Gao Wei, Wang Yu, Ya Bin, Peng Liang, and himself left. Gao Wei and the other two left at the end of the month, and there were only a few days left.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. I hope they will get better.”
Xing Lan looked at the book in his hand and replied to Peng Liang.
"Okay, then I'll go up first. If there's anything, call me. I'll take your place.”
Peng Liang wanted to go upstairs.
"Mhm, go ahead."
Xing Lan smiled as he watched Peng Liang leave.
Nearly a week of work had made Xing Lan very tired. Every night, he had to go back and leave an electronic copy of his work. In addition, he had to prepare dinner for the two girls before he went to work in the afternoon. Gao Wei had changed his job before he left, but he gave up after only a few days. Gao Wei had a habit of bragging about his new job. Once he left, he would say that the other party was nothing but a fart. Xing Lan only smiled at this because he knew Gao Wei too well. A few days later, Jing Han and Ya Bin's relationship had encountered problems."If you want to play, don't look for me. I want to play for a long time.”Xing Lan could sense that Ya Bin had started to have some opinions about Jing Han. Jing Han gave Xing Lan the feeling that she still loved to make a fuss and did not look like she was in trouble at all. At that time, Xing Lan felt that Jing Han was just a child who did not know anything. Yu Xuan was still the same as before, going to work and getting off work, then daydreaming alone. The biggest abnormality that gave Xing Lan was Ya Bin. Xing Lan could always see a faint hostility in Ya Bin's eyes. Regarding this, Xing Lan could not understand.
Saturday afternoon was the day of the shift change. Today was the day off, so Xing Lan was the only one on duty. In the room, Xing Lan was buried in his painting in front of the table. Ya Bin quietly walked into the room and came to his side. Xing Lan felt that someone had come in, but he did not look up. He needed to perfect the ending of his work.
"Not bad."
Ya Bin said with a smile.
Xing Lan finished the last stroke and looked up at Ya Bin with a smile,""You didn't go out to play?"
"No, he left his job immediately. He's looking for a job.”
Ya Bin walked to the sofa and sat down in response to Xing Lan's words.
"How is it? Do you have any connections?"
Looking at Ya Bin, Xinglan felt a strange feeling in his heart. He could clearly feel that there was something on Ya Bin's mind. Like many people who had studied psychology, Xinglan pondered how a person liked to look into his eyes. Although Xinglan was only a semi-finished product, he could still see something.
"Yes, I'm in the sales industry. I'm going for an interview today. If it's successful, I'll go with Wang Yu.”
Ya Bin replied.
"En, I heard that sales have been very profitable these two years. Work hard.”
Xing Lan encouraged.
"En, yes."
Ya Bin looked at Xing Lan and asked,""Your rent is about to expire, right?"
"En, yes, it's just a matter of these few days.”
Xing Lan replied with a trace of doubt.
"Oh, Wang Yu and I also want to rent a house. We've already found one. The environment is very good. I don't think the place you live in is very good.”
Looking at Xing Lan, Ya Bin stuttered as he finished speaking, as if afraid that Xing Lan would misunderstand Ya Bin, he continued,"My place is quite quiet. I know you still have to write and can't stay in the dormitory. It's definitely quieter there than the dormitory.”
"Oh, I told Gao Wei to change places. I'm not used to living there.”
By now, Xing Lan had already realized the seriousness of the matter. Ya Bin was suspecting him and Jing Han. Although Jing Han was very good at causing trouble, Xing Lan knew that she was willing to cause trouble with anyone. It was a habit, let alone Xing Lan. It was better to tear down ten temples than to break up a marriage. Besides, he was not so dirty.
"Okay, give me an answer after you talk to Gao Wei. I still have to discuss it with the landlord.”
Ya Bin left after he finished speaking. Xing Lan's heart was in a mess for a moment. He did not expect things to turn out so badly.
