Yang Shuting took a step back. His hands fell to nothing, making him a little embarrassed, he shivered, finally pulled back and asked with a slight smile, “Are you hungry, why don’t we eat together?”
“I’m tired and want to rest.” Yang Shuting raised her eyes and looked at Wen Yuhang in the light and said, “You go back first!”
After saying that, she walked in front of him and headed towards the entrance of the building.
Being politely rejected by her, Wen Yuhang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, but he was very apologetic to her. Turning around, he looked at her petite figure and called out to her, “Shuting.”
When she heard the call, Yang Shuting she stopped, didn’t look at him or ask him what else was going on, but walked straight towards the building and went up the stairs.
Returning to her apartment, Yang Shuting did not turn on the light, groped her way to her bed, sat a while, her heart restless, her head was full of random thoughts, then got up, went quietly to the window, and looked down. In the dim light a car still parked there, the man still standing there.
Back in bed, Yang Shuting flopped down on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling. About ten minutes later, she vaguely heard the rumble of cars coming from outside, moving away and continuing on.
When she went back to the window, he was really driving away.
The next day Yang Shuting drove to the hospital at six o’clock, where her mother lay on the bed, still unconscious. At eight she rushed to the office to work. Downstairs at the company, she met Huang Xin.
Huang Xin saw that Yang Shuting looked extremely pale, as pale as paper, with dark and large bags under her eyes, and asked her worriedly, “You look like you didn’t sleep well, did something happen?”
Yang Shuting’s heart warmed slightly, but she still shook her head and said, “No. But it’s the insomnia lately.”
“You look haggard, but you should take more care of your body and rest more!” Huang Xin didn’t ask any more questions.
Yang Shuting nodded silently.
The elevator door slowly opened, the staff rushed into the swarm, they are very aware of the concept of time, so they will fight for time. Huang Xin and Yang Shuting also rushed in. The elevator door slowly closed when suddenly a hand blocked and the two entered.
“What an injustice!” Huang Xin glanced at Tang Bin, who walked in, ruffled his hair and said thoughtfully.
Tang Bin only glanced faintly at the two, closed his lips tightly, said nothing, reached out and pressed the button.
Yang Shuting looked at Tang Bin and remembered the past, which had been a beautiful memory. She remembered that every summer, she and Tang Bin would ride their bikes to the park by the sea to see the scenery. When they were tired, they would sit down on the grass, the branches of the willow trees floating in the wind and the lake was blooming with lotus leaves. With their backs to each other, they looked up at the clear blue sky and talked about the future and their ideals. They enjoyed the sunshine, let the breeze blow around their noses and smelled the fragrance of lotus and lotus leaves. It calmed the mood.
“Ding …” sounded, the elevator door opened, Huang Xin’s department arrived. She raised her chin, turned her buttocks, deliberately bumped Tang Bin ‘s body, and walked out of the elevator with a hum.
Since there were several staff members in the elevator besides Tang Bin and Yang Shuting, she felt a bit muffled and felt that the air around her was a bit oppressive, so she couldn’t breathe.
When she finally reached the tenth floor, Yang Shuting walked past Tang Bin and exited the elevator without looking back, but felt someone following her with their gaze the entire time.
She returned to her work, sat for a moment and felt thirsty, so she picked up the cup on the desk and headed towards the pantry.
In the pantry she met Ling Weihao, who was making his own coffee, giving off a faint aroma. Yang Shuting said nothing, took the cup in her hand and drank it.
Ling Weihao heard the sound, turned his head and saw Yang Shuting, without expression, he picked up the coffee, took a small sip and said, “Where did you go in such a hurry yesterday?”
Yang Shuting held the cup, lowered her head to look at the water in the cup, then raised her head to look at Ling Weihao, “A friend had a car accident, I rushed to the hospital to visit her.”
She didn’t want people who didn’t know her family history to know that she had a very sick mother who was in the hospital, and she didn’t want people to know that she was worried about money now.
“Male or female?” asked Ling Weihao.
“Female.” Yang Shuting took a sip of water and thought of her mother still unconscious on the hospital bed, her heart sank steeply and her eyes grew moist. Not wanting Ling Weihao to see that she was out of shape, she hastily turned around, tilted her face up and sniffed her nose.
At this time, a few staff members came in, saw Ling Weihao and greeted respectfully. Yang Shuting took this opportunity to walk out of the pantry and returned to her seat, eyes red and staring at the computer screen.
At this point, Li came over to her with some documents, saw her red eyes, and with a slight frown of concern, asked her if she was crying.
She quickly came back to her senses and smiled faintly at Li, saying that sand had just gotten into her eyes and she was rubbing them.
After working all day, Yang Shuting hadn’t even eaten, she didn’t forget to eat but she had no appetite. At this moment, she was worried about her mother’s high medical bills. She thought of Ai Qian and picked up her phone. She thought about how she hadn’t contacted Ai Qian in a while, and wondered if she was still in town, and even more, if she was still using that cell phone number.
With a glimmer of hope, Yang Shuting finally dialed Ai Qian’s cell phone number, which was blank. Her mood became low all at once, sinking into darkness, unable to see any light. Suddenly she remembered someone, maybe she will help herself. This person is Sister Lian from “Night Rose”.
Without her contact information, Yang Shuting, decided to go to “Night Rose” to find her personally. At that point, she was the only one who could help her.
When she got home from work that afternoon, Yang Shuting personally went home and got dressed. When she left the house, the sky was already cloudy, and the lights on the side of the road were glowing in an eerie way. The main goal of the company is to provide the best possible service to its customers.
It was already eight o’clock when they arrived at “Night Rose”, a dazzling city with neon lights flashing in a misty glow. Yang Shuting stood outside the door of the “Night Rose” and walked around, hesitated for a long time, but finally went inside. She walked up to the front desk and asked the pretty lady at the front desk, “Hello, I’d like to ask if Sister Lian is here?”
The pretty lady looked at her and then said, “May I ask your last name?”
“My last name is Yang.”
“Okay, please wait a moment!” The pretty lady picked up the microphone, dialed the number of Sister Lian and told her that a lady named Yang was looking for her. She put the microphone away and personally took Yang Shuting to room 205 on the second floor.
