The next day, it was already ten in the morning when he woke up. Xing Lan washed up and went straight to the company's general affairs department. In just a short month, the company's higher-ups had recognized Xing Lan's work. They did not delve too much into this extended holiday. Xing Lan did not care about the company's tolerance. To Xing Lan, work itself was a transition. He did not plan to be a security guard for the rest of his life.
Xuan Mo was sitting on the sofa in the communication room in low spirits. Today was his day shift. Xing Lan was sitting on the rotating chair with a cup of water in his hand as he looked at him. Regarding Xuan Mo's current state, Xing Lan was very worried but did not know how to comfort him.
"Do you think there's still room for you to stay?”
Xing Lan drank a mouthful of water and asked Xuan Mo.
"I can't take it anymore. I just can't figure out what role her mother played in the middle.”
Xuan Mo raised his head and spoke with a puzzled tone. He lowered his head again after saying that.
"You've been married for so long, don't you know? The so-called mother-in-law is always more capable than your wife, but she's never on your side.”
After Xing Lan finished speaking, his eyes looked elsewhere. Towards Xuan Mo, this mother-in-law whom Xing Lan had never met, Xing Lan was also very puzzled. This was because the severity of her requirements seemed to be to prevent Xuan Mo and his wife from being together.
"I just miss our children."
Xuan Mo inserted his hands into his hair after he finished speaking. Xing Lan did not know what to say for a moment. These were the words that Xuan Mo said the most since he came here.
"I'm back."
During the silence in the room, Ya Bin walked in with a smile and greeted Xing Lan.
"Mhm, we're leaving soon."
Xing Lan replied with a smile.
"I didn't go out to play."
Xuan Mo also raised his head and pretended to smile.
"No, I'm thinking about work.”
Ya Bin poured himself a glass of water and sat beside Xuan Mo.
"You guys continue chatting. I'll go out and keep an eye on them for a while.”
Xuan Mo left after saying that. Xing Lan did not say anything else.
"How was it? Was the northeast fun?"
After Xuan Mo left, Ya Bin looked at Xing Lan with a smile.
"It's alright. It's quite tiring to play. I just got up.”
Xing Lan smiled and stretched his back. From Ya Bin's expression, Xing Lan could tell that Ya Bin had something to say to him. Xing Lan just did not say anything and the room became quiet again.
"A few of my friends said that Jinghan is only suitable for playing.”
During the period of silence, Ya Bin said something subservient. Xing Lan did not expect Ya Bin to actually say this to him.
"Oh."
Xing Lan's expression was a little unnatural, but he didn't probe further into the matter between the two of them. He only started to have a new understanding of Ya Bin.
"How's work?"
Xing Lan immediately changed the topic.
"Yeah, I'll go to work with Wang Yu in two days. The company won't let us go. Otherwise, we would have left long ago.”
Ya Bin replied.
"You stay here first. I'll go back and take a look. Gao Wei is still at home.”
After saying that, Xing Lan stood up and returned to his residence.
The sunlight scorched the mottled streets. The rubbish pond not far from the middle of the street seeped out putrid sewage. The sewage dried up and formed patches of stains. Xing Lan carefully walked around the rubbish pond. Perhaps it was because the weather was too hot, but there were not many people on the streets today. It also seemed very quiet. He pushed open the courtyard door with familiarity. Before he went upstairs, Gao Wei and the two girls 'quarreling sounds entered Xing Lan's ears. Xing Lan smiled bitterly and walked upstairs.
"Ah, the painter is back."
Pushing open the door, Xing Lan saw Gao Wei in the room with his hands covering his chest. Jing Han and Yu Xuan were glaring at him. Yu Xuan was holding a broom in his hand. It was Yu Xuan who saw Xing Lan first.
"Ah, the painter is back.”
Jing Han also turned around and teased.
"Xinglan, you're finally back. I've been bullied to death by them.”
Gao Wei pretended to be wronged as he pounced towards Xing Lan.
"I'm really impressed by you guys."
Xing Lan put down his luggage and went to clean up the mess on the table.
"Hey, I saw the photos you posted online. Your class monitor and sister-in-law are quite good-looking.”
Yuxuan sat beside Xing Lan with a broom in his hand.
"Of course. If my class monitor isn't handsome, how can he be my class monitor?”
Xing Lan replied teasingly.
"Aiyoyo, you really dare to put gold on your own face.”
Yuxuan made an unflinching expression.
"Others are already married, so when are you getting married?”
Yuxuan said as he placed the broom behind the door.
"If you can't find a suitable one, who will you marry?”
Xing Lan had an indifferent expression.
"That depends on what kind of person you're looking for.”
Sitting on the bed, Yu Xuan had an unfathomable look on his face.
"Yeah, what kind of person do you want? Do you have any suitable ones among my sisters?”
Jing Han also approached Xing Lan with a face full of anticipation.
"Find someone simple, it's best if you've never been in love.”
These were Xing Lan's heartfelt words.
"I've never been in love."
Jing Han replied.
Xing Lan was a little stunned. Although Jing Han's words were a joke, Xing Lan believed it very much. However, Xing Lan was also wondering why she would answer.
After a while, the room became chaotic again. Gao Wei, Yuxuan, and Jinghan were playing around, but in the middle, Xing Lan could clearly see that every time Gao Wei mentioned " Yabin ", Jinghan would become very quiet. All of this showed that Jinghan still cared about Yabin, but Jinghan changed very quickly, so Gao Wei and Yuxuan did not notice.
After Gao Wei and the others left, Xing Lan lit a cigarette and sank into his own thoughts. Yabin's daring to love and hate had left Xing Lan puzzled. Xing Lan really could not believe that Yabin, who was so eager to love him that he had lost himself yesterday, would actually be so determined now. The difference between before and after made Xing Lan, who had always been very confused about love, have too many doubts. And Jing Han, in Xing Lan's eyes, was completely like a mystery. Her appearance did not seem like she had experienced a relationship at all. In the eyes of outsiders, To her, a relationship was like a dragonfly flapping its wings on a calm lake. It only caused a small ripple on the surface and disappeared. However, Xing Lan could still tell that she cared. Xing Lan even thought about how she had experienced countless feelings in the past. She should be a woman with a story.
Most men liked women with stories, but men were generally unable to accept women with stories. Therefore, many times, liking could not evolve into love. Xing Lan could only helplessly come to a conclusion: Love was really wonderful.
Xing Lan did not return to the company. He needed to complete his work. He stared at the computer until late at night. After washing up, Xing Lan went to sleep. In the morning, his phone's ringtone woke him up from his sleep. When he opened his sleepy eyes and saw that it was Little Yao's, Xing Lan remembered his promise with Little Yao. He vaguely replied to Little Yao and hung up the phone. He looked at his watch. It was just six o'clock. Xing Lan yawned and went to wash up. The door to Yuxuan was closed. The two of them were still sleeping. Xing Lan knew that they had to go to work today.
Although it was not even seven o'clock yet, the narrow street was already crowded with people. The breakfast shop was already full of guests. The working hours of the office workers who lived here varied greatly. They needed to wait until ten o'clock in the morning before they could finish walking. Walking in the middle of the crowd, Xing Lan looked at the sky. It was cloudy. The weather forecast said that there would be rain today. Xing Lan still did not take an umbrella. He walked to the main road and scanned the surroundings through the Xing Lan. Xiaoyao's car was beside him. Through the windshield of the car, he saw that she was in the middle of the street. The little demon in the carriage smiled and gestured for Xing Lan to go over.
"Sorry, I overslept.”
Xing Lan was the first to apologize as he sat in the car with the door closed.
"It's fine. I'm already used to it."
The little demon smiled and walked over.
"It's as if I'm always late."
Xing Lan looked at Little Yao, his words seemed to be asking.
"Hehe, tell me, where are we going?"
Without responding to the star barrier, the little demon looked ahead to confirm a direction.
"What do you think?"
After thinking for a while, Xing Lan returned the question to Xiao Yao.
"Let's go to Tianamen first. I haven't been there yet.”
The little demon looked expectant.
"I was like you the first time I went.”
Xing Lan tore open the packaging of the chewing gum in the car and stuffed one into his mouth as he spoke vaguely.
"Why? Is it not good? I think it's quite sacred in the video.”
The little demon asked with a smile.
"Back then, I was deceived by this sacred feeling, but it's not as bad as I said.”
Xing Lan did not answer directly.
"But you made a mistake in asking me to be your guide because I'm not familiar with the Beijing route at all.”
Xing Lan continued to speak. He had been to a few scenic spots with his friends a few times. He felt a little restrained and depressed about Beijing, so he would not spend much effort on a city that he did not want to stay in for long.
"Then…"
Little Yao pointed at the GPS navigation in the middle of the car, indicating for Xing Lan to rest assured.
"I just need you to accompany me for a while.”
the little demon joked.
"Then let's go."
Xing Lan picked up a magazine from the car.
"So, are you still suspicious of that girl?”
The car stopped at a red light in the middle of a row of cars. Little Yao looked at Xing Lan and asked.
Hearing this, Xing Lan closed the magazine and his face was once again filled with confusion."I still can't figure out what kind of person she is. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still can't figure it out.”
Seeing Little Yao Xing Lan shake his head after saying that, his expression was very confused.
"If you ask me, don't think about it anymore. You won't understand women.”
The little demon's words were filled with a lot of protection.
"Hehe, who said that? That man is easy to understand.”
Hearing the little yao's protection, Xing Lan asked with a smile.
"Didn't you hear Coco Chanel say that when you understand that men are all children, you understand everything in life.”
The little demon did not care about Xing Lan's feelings at all.
"Nonsense. Coco Chanel is a woman. If it was a man, would she say that?”
Xing Lan was defending himself.
"Hehe, you'd better not investigate anymore. I'm worried that you'll fall in love with her.”
The little demon directly transferred to Jing Han.
"Why would I be worried?"
Xing Lan's tone was filled with confusion.
"Your way of thinking and education are very different. Of course, there is also your personality. Once you fall in love, one of you will need to change to accommodate the other. I know you will change, but you will have to experience a lot and bear a lot.”
The little demon was very serious.
"Don't be so sure. It's as if I'm really in love with her.”
Xing Lan kept looking at Little Yao. When Little Yao finished speaking, he could not help but smile bitterly in his heart.
"I'm just reminding you that love is the most unclear thing. Love can surpass age, society, looks, and many other boundaries that can't be crossed. Two juniors who have a deep hatred for each other can still fall in love, not to mention that you're so inseparable now. If anything happens to her now, I feel that you won't be as indifferent as when you first met her.”
Although Little Yao had a smile on her face, Xing Lan could hear the seriousness in her tone.
"What did you see in my eyes?”
Xing Lan knew that Little Yao had done a lot of research on psychology. Usually, Xing Lan hated it when people who had studied psychology looked into his eyes. This time, even he did not know why he had to ask Little Yao.
"When you mentioned her, your eyes were different. I really hope that this is my illusion, but since you asked, I think it's most likely not wrong.”
The little demon smiled and looked forward again.
"No, I'm just curious about her. How could I…how could I fall in love with her? There must be a mistake.”
Xing Lan was a little dazed. At this moment, his heart was in a mess. Xing Lan had never felt so chaotic before.
