Not long after we drank and chatted among the stars, everyone noticed something "abnormal" about me. Naturally, the first person to notice something was wrong with me was Qiu Yue, my good friend for many years.

Qiu Yue pushed me and asked, "What's wrong with you? You look depressed. Aren't you usually very talkative? Why are you acting like a boring gourd tonight?"

After he asked me this, everyone else stopped their entertainment time and looked at me, as if waiting for me to give a reasonable answer. At first I said that I had no problem, but I was

Fang Le's words struck a chord in his heart.

"He's just pretending to be dead. He's obviously hiding his secrets, but he just doesn't want to tell anyone. So just let him continue to be rejected."

I corrected: "Okay, I'm just too tired. Look at you one by one, what can I do? Don't you just want to play? Come on, get it together!" I put away the listless look before, and then

Chatting and laughing with everyone, drinking and shaking glasses of wine.

When the few people saw that my condition was gradually getting better, they didn't think anything more. I was reminded by Fang Le's words that they are all my best friends. What happened to me was not a good thing, so I better not say anything about it.

, lest they worry, especially Rosa.

The next morning, my biological clock did not allow me to sleep in, so I got up according to the usual time in the morning. I thought to myself, since I didn't have to go to the company to work, let's treat it as a vacation.

…

In the days that followed, I spent my days and nights in reverse. I searched out all the movies that I had wanted to watch but never had time to watch. I watched them one after another, and occasionally drank a little. I smoked, drank, and watched movies.

Playing games, eating, drinking, sleeping, this kind of life has become my daily life.

This kind of life will be very comfortable and de-stressing at first, but soon all the "stress" that has been reduced will rebound back to me. Only a quarter of the time has passed, that kind of life without nutrition.

Let me gradually become empty. How should I spend the remaining three weeks of this month?

On the eighth day, I couldn't sit still anymore and finally officially walked out of the house. In the previous week, except for taking out the trash and getting takeout, I almost never left the house.

I went out to get a haircut, and on the way back I walked leisurely by the shopping mall. Today is Monday again, and the people on the road are all rushing about for life. On the other hand, my leisurely life has become

An "outlier" among the crowd. I went into the shopping mall to buy groceries for a few days, but just when I was about to go back to my apartment, I actually met an acquaintance in this shopping mall.

This "acquaintance" was Fang Le, and he happened to meet my eyes. I quickly picked up the shopping bag in my hand and turned around to run away. Fang Le shouted "Hey" to me, and when he saw me running away, he immediately chased after me.

Go up.

I didn’t know why I ran, and I didn’t do anything wrong, but I just didn’t want to be seen by Fang Le. When I ran to an alley, I couldn’t run anymore, and I was still carrying something in my hand. Now,

Fang Le, panting, also caught up.

Fang Le walked up to me and grabbed the collar behind my neck, "Are you sick? Am I a ghost? Why are you running away?"

"You are the one designated to have that serious illness. I'll just run away. What are you chasing after?"

After a while, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. Fang Le took the shopping bags from my hand to share them, and walked to a stone pier to sit down.

I asked: "I'm so exhausted, why are you here?"

Fang Le took out a cigarette and handed me one. He looked at me sharply and asked, "I am the one who should ask this question. Today is Monday. Shouldn't you be working in the company?"

I felt guilty. I lowered my head and lit the cigarette and said, "I worked overtime during my last vacation. Today I will take the day off."

"Oh." Fang Le didn't say anything. I smoked a cigarette and turned to look at him, only to find that he had been staring at me.

"Have you pretended enough? Last time we were drinking and chatting together at Fanxing, you were in a bad state. Forget it, you didn't say anything then. Today, it's just the two of us here. Why don't you tell the truth?"

Now that I had been seen through, there was nothing to hide. I smoked the remaining half of my cigarette and then truthfully told the truth about the punishment of "suspension without pay" at Zhongtian Group.

After saying that, I added to Fang Le: "By the way, you must never tell Rosa about this. Keep it secret for as long as you can."

Fang Le suddenly laughed, "You're really good. It turns out that night I said I was being rejected, but I didn't expect it to be true." After a while, he asked again: "Then did she come to you later?

"

I took out my phone and looked at Ning Bingrou's chat history with me. The last time I contacted her was that night. She told me to trust her. I still remember that we had very happy memories during the three-day holiday on New Year's Day. It's just that

After that night, we still haven't found each other.

Maybe she felt that she didn't know how to face me, and I could understand her difficulties, so no one contacted anyone.

I shook my head in disappointment and responded to Fang Le's question. After a while, he asked me if I wanted to hear his thoughts, and I told him that it didn't matter.

"Then let me ask." Fang Le changed his sitting position, looked at me with a serious expression and asked: "Do you like her?"

I was stunned, but my heart was filled with turmoil. I didn't know how to answer his question for a moment, so I could only lower my head and silently smoke another cigarette.

"I……"

Fang Le interrupted: "Okay, your reaction is equivalent to an answer. You do have feelings for Mr. Ning in your heart. After all, who would not be moved by such a perfect person? But you like her.

, it’s the kind of love that you have some concerns about.”

I looked at Fang Le in surprise, "How did you know?"

"Because the authorities are blind to the beholder, there are two choices before you now. Let me talk about the first one first: you go to her now, tell her your true thoughts and express your feelings for her. The advantage of this is

You can immediately know what she thinks about you, but the downside is that if you are too passionate, you may not even be friends in the future."

"Then you should talk about the second one. If I tell her now, it would be too early. Besides, I still can't figure out how I feel about her."

Fang Le ignored what I said and continued: "Second option: Don't take the initiative to find her again. Just spend this month quietly. You are no different from your resignation status now. You can't find another job."

It's hard, it's hard to let go of someone. If you give it a try now and express your feelings to her, it won't have any good consequences for you whether she agrees or not, and it's the same for her. You know the reason better than me."

Fang Le lamented: "Adult love must be treated rationally."

After hearing what Fang Le said, I suddenly felt a lot more cheerful, "You are right, the only choice before me seems to be the second one, but I will make the third choice in my own way."
