The communication room was very quiet. Xing Lan sat quietly on the sofa with a cup of water in his hand. Recalling the time he had spent in Beijing, Xing Lan suddenly had an illusion. Everything in front of him seemed to have been specially arranged. It was funny, but it also made him feel helpless. While he was thinking, Gao Wei walked into the room, humming a song.
"What are you thinking, painter?"
Gao Wei walked into the room and picked up a cup to fill himself with water.
"Are you still renting your house?"
Xing Lan knew that Gao Wei was about to leave his job, and the rent was paid by Gao Wei.
"Why not? I'm leaving soon. If you don't rent, let me live there.”
Gao Wei took a sip of water, his tone unwavering.
"En, if it doesn't work, we'll change places. It's a little uncomfortable there.”
Xing Lan looked directly at him. Xing Lan was unwilling to tell Gao Wei too much because he knew Gao Wei well. Once he made it clear, with Gao Wei's character, he would definitely not compromise.
"Did Yabin say something to you?”
Gao Wei held the glass of water to his mouth but did not drink it. His words sounded more like a question.
"Did he look for you too?"
Xing Lan asked back.
"I knew it. Why change? If not, do whatever you want.”
Gao Wei's expression was filled with anger.
Looking at Gao Wei and Xing Lan smiling to themselves, he knew that Gao Wei would be like this once he found out. After a period of interaction, Wang Yu, Ya Bin, and Xing Lan had a lot of opinions about Gao Wei when they were together. Gao Wei, Wang Yu, and Ya Bin also had a lot of opinions. Xing Lan, who was among them, could only smile bitterly at their complaints.
"Who do you think she is? No wonder Jing Han was unwilling.”
Gao Wei sat on the rotating chair, his face still filled with anger.
"Yabin's thoughts and actions are just a little out of line. This is how relationships are. Once you're in it, you'll definitely be different from ordinary people.”
Xing Lan advised.
"What's wrong with the two of them fighting? Everyone knows that Jinghan can cause such a scene.”
Gao Wei was still angry.
"Grasp it yourself."
Xing Lan would often remain silent when he was with Gao Wei. Knowing Gao Wei, he knew that Gao Wei was full of hostility towards the advice of outsiders, even his best friend.
"I'm not changing. Let's see what he can do."
Gao Wei still insisted.
"Help me keep an eye on them. I'm going back.”
Xing Lan said as he walked out.
An hour later, Xing Lan returned to the company in a pile. He mainly went to get his own toiletries and computer. Xing Lan just didn't want to get himself involved in this dispute. Even though he could see that it was impossible for Ya Bin and Ling Lan, Xing Lan was still unwilling. This wasn't what he wanted.
"You're not going back?"
Gao Wei, who was in the room, saw Xing Lan put down the things and asked. Gao Wei did not expect Xing Lan to do this.
"Why should I go back when I've already brought the things over?”
Xing Lan replied as if he was used to it.
"I'm really impressed by you guys."
Gao Wei went straight upstairs after he finished speaking. Xing Lan did not stop him. He turned on his computer and perfected his work.
In the afternoon, a special guest came to Xing Lan's side. It was Xuan Mo. Xuan Mo was one of Xing Lan's friends. At the age of 26, he looked much younger than Xing Lan because he was very handsome. His sunny face and fashionable clothes made Xuan Mo very attractive to women. However, although Xuan Mo was very outstanding, the recent year was a pain that he could not mention. His lover was divorcing him, but Xuan Mo was very hesitant because of his two children. Xuan Mo understood that he was still the father of his two children. He had the responsibility and obligation to be responsible for his two children.
Xuan Mo had a lot of reliance on Xing Lan. Every time he had something to discuss with Xing Lan, he would also call Xing Lan to vent his frustrations. Xing Lan liked this friend and treated Xuan Mo as a friend because Xuan Mo was very honest. For some reason, Xing Lan smiled bitterly and realized that those he called friends all had a habit, and that was that they would not scold others. They were just like Tian Ya, Hong Ye, Xuan Mo, and himself.
"How did it go?"
Xuan Mo put down his backpack and sat down on the sofa. Xing Lan poured him a glass of water. After not seeing him for such a long time, Xing Lan could see that Xuan Mo had lost a lot of weight.
"It's a stalemate. I don't know what to do now. I'm just thinking about my daughter.”
Xuan Mo stared straight ahead with a dazed expression. Xing Lan could understand Xuan Mo. He believed that if the same thing happened to someone else, they might not be any better than Xuan Mo.
"Since you're here, don't leave. It's almost the end of the year.”
Xing Lan said as he sat down on the sofa.
"Sigh, I'm so worried."
Xuan Mo covered his face with his hands and lowered his head.
Xing Lan did not say anything. He only felt a little stifled as he looked at Xuan Mo, who had his head lowered. It was not long before Xing Lan thought of Xuan Mo in the army. Back then, Xuan Mo did not have any worries. He was like an angel every day.
"Let's go. It's getting late. Let's have some food together.”
During the silence in the room, Gao Wei walked into the room. It was Gao Wei who picked up Xuan Mo. They came back together.
"Hey, I'm here. I heard that you're changing jobs. How's it going?”
Xuan Mo raised his head when he noticed someone coming in. After he saw that it was Gao Wei, he asked.
"Aiya, don't mention it. I tried it for a long time and felt that it wasn't good, so I quit.”
Gao Wei poured himself a glass of water.
"Let's go, it's time to eat. Let's welcome Brother Xuan, hehe.”
Gao Wei took a sip of water and smiled.
"You take Xuan Mo with you. I'll go right away and get Peng Liang to replace me.”
Xing Lan said as he went upstairs to look for Peng Liang.
It was already past eight o'clock, and it was much livelier at night than during the day. Because it was close to the bus stop, once the bus stopped every few minutes, a group of off-duty people would swarm down. After every bus stopped, Xing Lan could hear the name of the station that he was extremely familiar with. He turned into the crowded street and walked towards the restaurant that he frequented. The restaurant here was very clean, and there was a northeastern restaurant next to it. Xing Lan liked northeastern food, but the few of them often went to the nearest restaurant.
Standing outside the glass partition of the restaurant, Xing Lan saw Gao Wei and Xuan Mo sitting quietly inside. Jing Han and Yu Xuan were also inside. He didn't know if it was because of Yabin, but Xing Lan was very unwilling to see the two of them, especially Jing Han. Xing Lan even suspected that he was suffering from the " Banam Effect " in psychology. It was easy for people to be influenced by external information, which led to a deviation in their self-perception.
Xing Lan did not think of himself as a person who had a strong hint, but this feeling was really annoying, especially now. However, no matter how annoying it was, he could not reject it because Xuan Mo had already seen him and was waving at him.
"Why are you so late? We were waiting for you."
Gao Wei pointed at the dishes on the table and said.
"Artists are too busy. You need to understand, haha.”
Jing Han laughed after she finished speaking.
From the conversation, Xing Lan could tell that Jing Han and Yu Xuan had a very pleasant conversation with Xuan Mo because Xuan Mo was very humorous towards girls and was easily accepted. Just like now, Jing Han and Yu Xuan did not seem like they had just met Xuan Mo.
"Eat, why aren't you eating?"
Seeing Xuan Mo put down his chopsticks, Xing Lan urged.
"Sigh, I'm not eating anymore. The rice here feels like I'm chewing on a rock.”
Xuan Mo wiped his mouth as he finished his sentence, and Jing Han and Jing Yan almost spat out their food.
"This rice is indeed a little too hard.”
Gao Wei chimed in.
The dinner passed in a joyous atmosphere. Xing Lan still went back because Xuan Mo wanted Xing Lan to accompany him. Xuan Mo said that he had many things to say to Xing Lan. In his room, Jing Han asked Xing Lan to cut many melons for him. Xing Lan agreed without saying anything. Xing Lan did not want to be entangled with them now. Hence, Xuan Mo, who was lying on the bed, did not understand Xing Lan's actions. Regarding this, Xing Lan did not give any explanation.
After staying for two days, Xuan Mo came to the company to work under Xing Lan's persuasion. Xing Lan could tell that Xuan Mo was very bored when he had nothing to do. Xing Lan knew that Xuan Mo could not stay idle at all. That would only make him even sadder. Xuan Mo accepted Xing Lan's suggestion. The recruitment process went smoothly. As the company happened to be short of people, Xuan Mo went to work as he wished.
These few days, Xing Lan did not go back. This was because the relationship between Ya Bin and Jing Han was in a bad state. Ya Bin was also about to leave his job. Xing Lan could see that he was very annoyed, but there was one thing that Xing Lan found hard to accept. Because the dormitory was close to the main road, and there was a bend here. Every car that passed by would emit an ear-piercing horn. It was very noisy. Xing Lan's thoughts were very chaotic, and his work had also reached a stalemate these few days.
On the 27th, Xing Lan received a call from his squad leader. Xing Lan's squad leader's home was in Benxi, Liaoning. When Xing Lan was a recruit, the squad leader was already a four-year veteran. After Xing Lan became the squad leader, he still lived in the same dormitory as him. Now, the squad leader was already a ten-year veteran in the army. Out of the eight recruits in the same class, only Xing Lan had followed the squad leader for five years. Other than his foreign language firearms skills, Xing Lan's other basic skills were all given to him by the squad leader. After five years of interaction, Xinglan and the class monitor had completed the perfect transformation from superior to subordinate, comrade to friend, and finally to brother. When they were in the army, Sister-in-law had gone there once. Sister-in-law was especially good to Xinglan, so this time, Xinglan had to go.
On the same afternoon, Gao Wei suddenly suggested that he would leave the next day. He said that he would be back in two days. Xing Lan did not ask him why, but only asked him to leave his credit card. Because his card had not been reissued yet, as the saying goes, a single penny stumps a hero. Xing Lan could not go to see his class monitor without money. Xing Lan wanted to apply for leave from the company, but the company director gave him three days of leave. Because his ability was limited to three days, if he exceeded three days, he would need to go to the general affairs department for approval. Xing Lan could not wait, because the class monitor was getting married in these two days. In Xing Lan's opinion, three days was more than enough. The other thing that Xing Lan did not tell the company was that if he went to the northeast to work, he might not come back.
It seemed that Xing Lan could complete everything in three days, but just like what people said, the world was unpredictable.
