In the early morning of winter, the sun penetrates the mist and covers the earth. The sun is bright but there is no temperature. There is still an unstoppable chill in the air.
Before the working hours came, the silent office began to become lively. As the end of the year approaches, everyone is in a relaxed mood. The colleagues in the tea room are either talking about going home or talking about where to travel during the Spring Festival, and some are talking about entertainment gossip.
Zhang Mingjuan came over from the tea room with half a scallion pancake. When passing Ye Ying's position, she saw Ye Ying's petite back wrapped in a red coat, her black hair tied into a ponytail behind her head, and her small face that was blocked by purchase orders.
When she turned to her, she was about to speak, but she found that Ye Ying's expression was very solemn, so she silenced.
Ye Ying is quieter today than before. She has a pair of panda eyes and her face is a little pale. He held the landline microphone in his left hand and pressed it against his ear, while his right hand fell on the landline button but did not fall. He stared at the time in the lower right corner of the computer display screen, as if he was waiting for an athlete to fire a gun.
Zhang Mingjuan is a senior employee of the Human Resources Department. Zhang Mingjuan recruited Ye Ying into the company three years ago. Speaking of which, Zhang Mingjuan is still Ye Ying's senior sister. Zhang Mingjuan has always taken good care of this well-behaved and smart junior sister.
time has arrived at 8:05. At this time, Zhang Liang should have just returned to the position. While thinking, Ye Ying quickly dialed a landline number. While waiting for the answer, she bit her nails that were too short to be shorter, and her heart was pounding, which was even more nervous than the college entrance examination announcement.
She had a lot to ask him, she wanted to ask him why he didn't contact her yesterday and why his phone kept shutting down. It made her a national treasure with dark circles, and even if it was thrown into thick powder, it couldn't stop it.
She also wants to tell him that she missed him very much. She completely understood what it means to not see in one day, like three autumns later. When the phone was on, she "feeded" her. It was not Zhang Liang who answered the phone, but a strange female voice. She swallowed what she wanted to say and changed her mouth and said, "Hello, I'll look for Zhang Liang."
"You look for Manager Zhang. He has taken annual leave. You can call his phone if you have something to do." The other party was neither salty nor indifferent, and he was indifferent to the matter.
"Oh, thank you!" Ye Ying hung up the phone sadly, and a voice in her heart said, Zhang Liang is missing, Zhang Liang doesn't want you anymore. The sound was like a sledgehammer, hammering her heart into pieces. The sound rang all night last night and is even louder now.
"Hey, you're okay this morning." A message came from QQ. Ye Ying looked up and Zhang Mingjuan, who was sitting diagonally opposite her, squeezed her eyes at her.
"Zhang Liang is missing." Ye Ying forced a smile, but she couldn't reach the bottom of her eyes. She typed with a crackling sound and finally shook her crying face.
Zhang Mingjuan was shocked, "Your peerless boyfriend Zhang Liang is missing? I just wanted to tell you that I asked someone to buy a train ticket for you."
Ye Ying planned to take Zhang Liang home for the New Year. She didn't get a high-speed rail ticket, so she had to turn to buy a train ticket. Zhang Mingjuan happened to know someone and could help her get a ticket.
"Sister Zhang, is it because I'm not doing well? Zhang Liang doesn't like me anymore?" Ye Ying continued to say with a bitter face.
"Silly girl, you are the best. If he doesn't want you, it's his loss." Zhang Mingjuan gave her a hug expression.

When Ye Ying was working, she was in a daze and posted several wrong purchase orders in a row.
"Xiaoying, what's going on with you? You are an old employee, and you can't do anything well!" The manager of the purchasing department is an old woman. Ye Ying usually does things without any leakage. This time she caught a handle and was scolded. Ye Ying's tears were spinning in her eyes, but she did not shed stubbornly.
"Sister Wang, we will hold a gala tonight. Let me lend you Xiaoying to set up a venue." Zhang Mingjuan pulled Ye Ying out of the office.
When Ye Ying went to the auditorium to set up the venue, she was still not in the situation. The balloons were blown up several times in a row, and the fragments were scattered all over the ground, and the ground was scarlet. Ye Ying stared at these fragments and was stunned.
has been in the company for a few years. She was scolded by the manager for the first time today, and Zhang Liang was the culprit who caused her to issue a wrong order. He is the business manager of a packaging material supplier. He is not very handsome and is four or five years older than Ye Ying.
Zhang Liang has a tall figure, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes. It is said that she has been a soldier and stands with the petite Ye Ying, which makes her feel so safe.
At the beginning, Ye Ying added Zhang Liang's WeChat because of business dealings. Later, I chatted about my respective hometowns during a casual chat. Ye Ying thought her hometown was a small place, so she signed up for the city name. Zhang Liang continued to ask, which county do you belong to? Ye Ying honestly reported the name of the county town again.
After a while, Zhang Liang sent a WeChat voice over. Ye Ying curiously clicked on the red dot and actually heard the familiar hometown dialect. How lucky it is to meet an old friend in a foreign land? In Zhang Mingjuan's words, it is simply ape dung!
Zhang Liang later told her that he moved to another city to live with his parents, but his hometown accent has not changed, because his parents said that people should not forget their roots and always know where their roots are. After knowing that the other party was a fellow villager, the relationship between the two went up one level and the communication became smoother.
That time, Ye Ying, who was in charge of packaging materials, placed a large order for Zhang Liang, and Zhang Liang sent her a WeChat message: "My fellow villager, are you working overtime tonight? I happened to come to deliver the goods. To express my gratitude, I will invite you to dinner."
Ye Ying pondered for a moment, then replied to the message, "Yes."
In order to avoid people's eyes, they went to a secluded place. Unexpectedly, both of them liked light flavors, and the names of the dishes reported to the menu were surprisingly consistent.
When writing the menu, Ye Ying found that Zhang Liang was good at writing, which made her sincere envy, who was like an earthworm.
That time they ordered a steamed thornfish, a tea tree mushroom duck soup, and a plate of green vegetables. Zhang Liang was very careful and carefully helped Ye Ying pick the fish bones before picking the fish meat for Ye Ying to eat. Ye Ying couldn't help but be stunned when she saw him focusing on picking fish.
Through him, she saw the shadow of her first love boyfriend.
Ye Ying joined this company two years after graduation. She looks pretty and lovely. She has never been photographed and dragged her when she was in school. The boy also carefully helped her pick fish bones like Zhang Liang. The two were enviable couples on campus. In the first year after graduation, she cheated on a rich and beautiful woman with a lot of money, and she was depressed for a while.
They always seem to have endless talks. Sometimes when she takes a shower, she even brings her phone to the bathroom, for fear of missing his message. When there is information, even if you are not wearing any clothes, you have to wipe your hands and reply to his message first. After knowing Zhang Liang for a long time, Ye Ying noticed the ambiguous smell.

It was on the day when Ye Ying had a fever.
Ye Ying had a cold and fever that day, and she slept at home in a dark and dark place. At noon, she woke up from hunger. When she turned on her phone, she found that there were many missed calls, all of which were called by Zhang Liang, so she called back, "Hey, fellow villager, are you having something to ask me for?"
"Xiaoying, I heard that you asked for leave, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Liang's voice was obviously anxious.
"It's okay, I just caught a cold, so I asked for leave." She realized that she was weak, soft and glutinous, and inexplicably had a hint of coquettishness.
"You haven't eaten yet, I'll come to you now. You can rest for a while, and I'll arrive in an hour." In fact, it took Zhang Liang only more than forty minutes to get downstairs of Ye Ying and bought a large bag of cold medicine.
That day, Zhang Liang drove over from the company's car and ran all the way. That section of the road usually took at least an hour. That was the first time Zhang Liang came to Ye Ying's residence, one bedroom and one living room, a small place, clean and very warm.
Later Zhang Liang said that alone wandering in this strange city, he always feels no sense of belonging. Only by staying with Ye Ying can he feel home and feel inexplicably at ease.
Zhang Liang knew that Ye Ying hadn't eaten anything, so he cooked porridge for Ye Ying. When he delivered a bowl of fragrant white porridge and a plate of fried green vegetables to Ye Ying, Ye Ying's eyes were moist.
Touched tears fell on the white porridge, but a flower called happiness bloomed in my heart.
Ye Ying finished the porridge and lay back on the bed. Zhang Liang held her little hand and said to Ye Ying with a sincere look on his face, Xiaoying, let me take care of you! Ye Ying agreed with tears in her mouth, Zhang Liang's lips fell down, kissing the tears on Ye Ying's face.
After clarifying the relationship, they often play together, and sometimes he takes her with him when he goes out for social events. When she sang K, she realized that he still had a good voice. He sang affectionate love songs for her. The two looked at each other and sparks of love flew everywhere.
Later, she discovered that he had many advantages. He had good literary talent, first-class cooking skills, and he loved cleanliness... She liked to listen to Zhang Liang sing to her on WeChat, and she was fascinated by listening. She felt that it was a very happy thing to have someone singing specifically for her.
One night three months later, Zhang Liang stayed in Ye Ying's nest. That night, Ye Ying handed over her first time. Afterwards, Zhang Liang was moved to tears, "Xiaoying, I will be good to you all my life." After learning about this, Zhang Mingjuan pointed at Ye Ying's nose and scolded her, "You are stupid, you will cherish what men can't get. Don't regret it in the future."
Slowly, Zhang Mingjuan began to envy Ye Ying.
Know that Ye Ying likes Lily . Zhang Liang never forgets to bring a bouquet of flowers every time he comes. The fragrance of flowers is often blooming in Ye Ying's rental house. What’s even more rare is that he has a good cooking skills and tries to make delicious food for Ye Ying whenever he has time. They get tired of it all day on weekends and holidays. Sometimes Zhang Liang comes to handle official business and they can meet.
Their love flows smoothly, not vigorously, but it is as long as a bowl of white porridge.
"Look at you Zhang Liang, you are romantic, caring, and cooking skills. Where can I find such a good man? My old Li, after marrying him, I truly understood what fatherly love is like a mountain. Just sit there playing with your phone, motionless like a mountain."
Ye Ying would cover her mouth and smile when she heard her say it. Zhang Mingjuan would give her a blank look, "Just laugh secretly!"
But, such a person is gone if he can't see him. Ye Ying felt that her heart had been hollowed out.

The evening party started after supper. The background of the stage was a festive big red poster with eye-catching words: Jiehong Company's tail teeth party, the stage was decorated with balloons and ribbons of various colors, filled with a warm festive atmosphere.
"Thanks to the actors for their wonderful performance. Before the next program begins, there is an exciting lottery session. Manager Wang from the Silk Screen Department draws a consolation prize, with a total of 30 people."
The male host held the lottery box in his left hand and the microphone in his right hand. As soon as he finished speaking, the audience applause was thunderous. The moment the lottery guest reached into the lottery box, the audience in the audience held their breath and watched.
"Who is the first lucky guy?" After the host finished speaking, he reached the microphone in front of the guest. The man picked up a folded prize ticket. He smiled and spread the prize ticket, put his mouth close to the microphone, and said to the audience in the audience with an unstandard Mandarin :
"The first winner is, No. 35, Ye Ying."
"Please go to the stage to receive the prize."Seeing that no one responded, the host looked in a certain direction in the audience, "Ye Ying, if you don't come up, the award will be left to the next one! "
caused a stir under the stage. Everyone followed the host's gaze and the focus of their eyes fell on a certain position in the audience. Ye Ying was looking down at her phone, with her expression focused, her brows slightly frowned, and the lights on the stage cast a small shadow on her face.
Seeing Ye Ying immersed in her own world, she was unaware of what happened on the stage. Zhang Mingjuan touched her with her elbow, "Hey, Xiaoying, the host is calling you, you won the prize! "
Ye Ying woke up like a dream. She stood up, pressed the screen of her phone, put the phone into the pocket of her red coat, walked onto the stage, and faced the audience.
Looking at the crowds of people under the stage and the music playing. Even though such noise surrounds her, Ye Ying still felt very lonely.
Her father died when she was very young. Her mother raised her and her younger brother alone, and she also stubbornly worked, farmed, and planted vegetables. Raising pigs, and later my mother couldn't do farm work, so she went to the city to work as a nanny. With her mother's efforts, she and her younger brother both studied. She was also very sensible and had good character and academic performance. She used scholarships as living expenses in college, and sometimes she even worked part-time.
Seeing her mother bent over by fatigue, she saved the money she had worked for her younger brother in college in the past few years. She was very frugal. She wore a coat for several years and had no time to entertain. When she was free, she read novels at her residence to pass the time.
Meet Zhang Before Liang, her world was very small, so small that she had only rental houses and factories. After meeting Zhang Liang, her world became even smaller, and she only had Zhang Liang in her eyes.
Ye Ying finally won the prize, an umbrella. The first prize was 3,000 yuan, and there were many cash prizes behind it. Since she had won the consolation prize, she missed the grand prize.
Carrying the little red umbrella, Ye Ying no longer had the intention to watch the show, walked out of the company auditorium and walked towards the rental house.
The night is as cool as water. Ye Ying looked up, and the stars were embedded in the dark sky. The cold wind poured into Ye Ying's collar. Ye Ying couldn't help but shivered and tightened her coat.
The street lights on the street pulled her shadow very long, and the monotonous sound of high heels hit the road, making it even more lonely in winter nights. She took out her mobile phone, and Zhang Liang's WeChat was still silent, and QQ was also gray.
She sighed and edited the message to Zhang Mingjuan: "Sister Zhang, I'll go back first. "
" OK, be careful on the way and call me if you have something to do. I won the grand prize and invited you to a big meal. " Zhang Mingjuan gave a proud expression.
's residence is not far from the company. When she was almost downstairs of the rental house, Ye Ying wiped the corners of her eyes and adjusted the expression on her face.

The first floor is a convenience store, and there are often several aunts with children sitting at the door. Tonight, there are a lot more people than usual. They got together and were talking about something. Everyone's face was flashing with gossip.
Ye Ying was always polite, so she pulled the corners of her mouth and went up to say hello: "It's so lively, what are you talking about, so happy. "
After she said hello, she was about to slip away from them, but was pulled over by the sharp-eyed Aunt Li. Aunt Li deliberately lowered her rough voice: "I heard that a woman in 305 is a vixen. She is a mistress. Today, the main house came to the door and smashed all the furniture!"
Ye Ying looked very well-behaved and dressed very simple. Aunt Li, who was opposite, praised her. Before dating Zhang Liang, Aunt Li patted her back and said to her, "It's a pity that I have a daughter-in-law, otherwise I will definitely introduce you to my son." "
Every time Ye Ying hears this, she can't help but shivering when she thinks of Aunt Li's fat son.
"Tsk, it's a pity that the woman's white and tender face has been caught and burned. "The fat aunt next to her said, and the women next to her also agreed.
Because he didn't want to live in the dormitory with others, Ye Ying lived here as soon as he entered the company, and lived there for three years. She also recognizes a woman of 305. She is said to be a woman in her beauty industry and wears decent suits every day and has exquisite makeup.
305 women often come and go alone, and only a man who is about 40 years old has come to find her. The man is well-dressed and drives every time. Ye Ying has no research on cars, she only recognizes that it is an Audi logo.
I only learned after listening to Zhang Liang's explanation. So much so that every time he saw the car parked downstairs, Ye Ying knew that the man was coming.
Once when they saw them come back from shopping, the man thoughtfully helped the woman open the car door with a doting look. When he went upstairs, he was carrying a big bag in his left hand, and he didn't forget to hug the woman's slender waist, which seemed extremely loving.
Sometimes she gossips with Zhang Mingjuan and talks about this strange woman: "Look at their old husband and wife, they are still so loving. Zhang Liang and I are 40 years old, and we can still have half of their love."
"Come on, your Zhang Liang is not good? I bought a piece of tofu and hit myself to death." It can be heard that Zhang Mingjuan's tone was so sour. She has been married for several years, and her husband obeys her words, but she doesn't know how to be romantic. She has been using Zhang Liang to attack her honest husband.
Ye Ying listened to the gossip of the aunts and did not comment too much, but she decided that she must tell Zhang Mingjuan about this matter tomorrow. After all, gossip is a woman's nature.
Ye Ying lives in Room 308. When she passed by 305, she deliberately slowed down. From the crack in the door, she could see that the room was on and the woman's depressing cry was faintly heard.

Ye Ying sighed, she took out the key from her shoulder bag and opened the door. The switch of the light was at the door. She used the lights in the corridor to find the position of the switch, turned on the lights, and changed her shoes.
Because it has been raining frequently recently, she closed the doors and windows before going out, and the air smelled unpleasant because it was not circulating.
After opening the window for ventilation, she took out her phone from her bag neatly and looked at it again without giving up, but there was still no information from Zhang Liang.
is here, the phone rings. She was delighted to find that what was displayed on the screen of her phone was Zhang Liang’s number! Almost ecstatic, she shivered and pressed the answer button.
"Aliang, where are you going? I'm so worried." She was so excited that she was about to cry.
"You stinky goblin, vixen , do you call Aliang's name?" It was not Zhang Liang who spoke, but the sharp voice of a strange woman, "Do you know that he has a wife at home and a five-year-old child!"
After my boyfriend disappeared, I received a call from a woman. I only realized that he has been married for 7 years, has a wife and a child
"No, it's impossible, he can't be married! He won't lie to me!" Boom, what sound exploded in my mind. A coldness invaded her limbs and was shocked. It was clearly a phone call, but the other party couldn't see her expression, but Ye Ying's head shook like rattle .
"You are your IQ, you are still a college student, but you don't know if you've been sold." The woman sneered on the other end, "I've been married to him for seven years, and he's not playing with women once or twice. Anyway, I'm used to it, but you, please do it yourself!" After saying that, he hung up the phone.
He actually got married and he actually had children. No wonder, when they imagined the future, he talked about the child's loving expression, which made her feel that he would be a good father in the future.
No wonder, they talked about meeting their parents, and there was a moment of unnaturalness on his face, and she thought he had made accusation.
Also, he is skilled in cooking and seems to have cooked it thousands of times. He never stings with sweet words. He remembered her menstrual period. He cooked him brown sugar water and washed her underwear.He also said that girls cannot sleep with their hair wet at night...
Ye Ying heard it. The accent of a woman speaking Mandarin is very similar to her, and the reason why Zhang Liang can speak her hometown dialect is also coming out.
It turns out that his goodness was trained by other women. During this period, she stole other people's happiness.
She threw her phone aside in frustration, turned around and lay on the thick plush quilt on the bed, her whole body shivering from grief. The incident in Room 305 flashed through her mind, and recalling the little things that happened with Zhang Liang from getting to falling in love was like a nightmare.
Sadness is like a dam breaking the embankment, turning into warm tears, drop after drop, like beads with broken threads, falling on the quilt. She bit her lips at some point, and there was a salty smell in her mouth, and she didn't feel the pain.
cried for a long time before Ye Ying was swollen and went into the bathroom to take a shower. There were Zhang Liang's toiletries in the bathroom, which were the soft-bristled toothbrush with yellow handles that Ye Ying and him chose, a glass cup with lipstick printed on it, and the Shufujia soap he liked to use.
In the misty water vapor, Ye Ying shed tears again. When she walked out, she threw the toiletries into the trash can.
, and the razor on the dressing table, his underwear and socks, tie, and the two people on the wall... These traces must be removed.
She took out her mobile phone and deleted all the contact information about Zhang Liang cleanly. The album of the mobile phone was full of their photos. She deleted them one by one. Those sweet clips were all poison wrapped in honey.
Tears filled her eyes and blurred her vision. She wiped away her tears and continued to delete the photos. So many photos, so many tears, hot and bitter, it seems that they will never be finished.
There is no perfect boyfriend in the world, no man can learn to be self-taught. She thought she had touched the big prize, but it was actually just a consolation prize, which only increased her worries. Thinking of the prize for the lottery tonight - the umbrella, everything is God's will.
