Chapter 12 3. Coke means cuteness and optimism

I was busy collecting materials, but I was dizzy from the internal phone call, "Xiao Liu, help me answer it!" I couldn't spare my hands, so I could only excuse Xiao Liu. "Director Xiao asked you to visit his office!" Xiao Liu was diligent, and immediately conveyed the message after hanging up the phone. I ignored her and continued to summarize the work statistics sheet handed over by the team leader. The numbers were too complicated, which made me upset. After a while, the phone rang again, and Xiao Liu answered, "Director Xiao told you to go to his office quickly, there was something wrong with the general information you gave him last time!"

"Okay!" I agreed, but still didn't move.If there is a problem with the data, he should find the team leader. I am not directly responsible to the director. Fuck Director Xiao, I'm small-minded, and I can't bear him putting on a cold face in front of me.In the morning, he stood at the gate with a cold face and called me, as if I had made some mistake, he was the one who went to the supermarket with Wu Yue yesterday, not me, why are you trying to drag me now? The phone rang again, and Xiao Liu looked at me and shook his head, "If you offend Director Xiao, you should stop messing around!"

I just took two medicated cotton balls and plugged my ears, I just don't want to mess around here. After ringing for a long time, the phone finally quieted down, and I breathed a sigh of relief. When I looked up, I saw Xiao Yuan standing at the door of the office, looking at me with a sad face, and his thin lips were drawn into a line. "Tian Kele, come here!" His soft voice is as beautiful as a cello, bewitching me to stand up involuntarily and follow him. After walking a few steps, I couldn't help cursing myself for being useless, as long as Xiao Yuan hooked his finger, would I obediently follow?

Xiao Yuan walked in front, leaving me with a tall and straight back. Looking at this back, I couldn't stop. Xiao Yuan, Xiao Yuan, you are my nemesis. Xiao Yuan's office was filled with a strong fragrance of roses. I sniffed hard and asked, "Where does the fragrance come from?" He copied a large bouquet of red roses from under the desk as if by magic, and said, "I'll give you an apology, don't ignore me!" Looking at a large bouquet of flowers, it was so delicate and beautiful, I didn't pick it up, but asked him instead: "Why do you want to apologize to me?"

Xiao Yuan smiled awkwardly, "I have a bad attitude this morning!" I glared at him intentionally, "You just have a bad attitude this morning?" He gave me the flower plug, "Yes, I have always had a bad attitude, please forgive me, okay?" I held a large bouquet of flowers, sniffed them, and couldn't help but sneezed. Xiao Yuan laughed at me, "Stupid, it's easy to be allergic to pollen!" "What's wrong with being stupid? Being stupid doesn't break the law!" "Yes, you are stupid and different, just right!" I looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise, "Director, when did you become so good at talking?"

He didn't look at me, just stared down at the clean tabletop, "...when I realized I was about to lose you!" After leaving Xiao Yuan's office, he sat in the lounge for a while, trying to calm down his emotions. Professor Tian came to make tea, I nodded to him, but he didn't rush back to work, sat down opposite me, "Not in a good mood?" I didn't hide it either, I forced a smile. "Is it related to the weather? You are not the only one who is in a bad mood today!" He pointed to Xiao Yuan. Recently, they all worked together. "Probably, maybe, probably!" I didn't want to make the atmosphere too intense, so I pursed my lips on purpose.

He smiled and asked, "Why are you called Coke?" "Coke means cuteness and optimism." When I was born, Coke was not a popular drink all over the world, at least not in China. "Cute, optimistic..." The old professor muttered, "This name is good, I hope you live up to your name!" "You are the second person to say my name." Of course, the first one was my mother. "Oh?" "You didn't say that Coke is a carbonated drink." I shrugged and smiled at him. Go home at night and watch the series at eight o'clock with my mother.

I knew she was angry with me, so I didn't dare to talk nonsense, and just sat and waited for her criticism. Seeing me yawning non-stop, my mother couldn't bear it, and said, "Go to bed if you're sleepy!" "Not sleepy, not sleepy!" He braced himself up and continued spending time with her. The commercials in the TV series are super disgusting. A group of people sang and danced, "No gifts for this year's festival... honor your parents..." It is neither fish nor fowl!Seriously affect the public audio-visual.I don't understand how the relevant departments approve it. This kind of garbage advertisement can also be shown on TV.Other advertisements cost money, but this advertisement is terrible!

My mother also felt noisy, turned off the TV, and put on reading glasses to read the newspaper. "Don't read it, go to rest early! Eyes are not good, and I always like to read fine print!" I don't know when I also learned her nagging. "Where am I like you, I go to sleep when I lie down? I'm getting older and sleep less, so I can't fall asleep!" My mother said slowly. "I'll chat with you!" I moved closer to her, feeling tired of her.When I was young, I loved to lean against her, it was very comfortable. My mom finally put down the newspaper, "Okay, I was just about to talk to you too! You didn't come back last night, where did you go?" I knew I was going to ask this question.

"Gathering with friends and having a night of trouble!" I had to lie. God forgive me, if my mother finds out that I was drunk and stayed in a single man's apartment for one night, she will probably disown me! She sighed, "Why don't you let me worry!" I obediently admit my mistakes, and strive to be frank and lenient! "Ke Ke, you are not young anymore, are you considering finding a boyfriend to settle down? It will save me from worrying all the time!" My mother said earnestly. Does the boyfriend say that he can find it if he looks for it?It's as if it's just there waiting for me to get it!

My mother is really impatient!I smiled, and suddenly thought of Xiao Yuan, his shining eyes, and the roses he sent today. Is he also afraid that we will not be able to get together after all?His behavior of worrying about gains and losses made me feel at ease. He still cares about me a little bit, right?Can it be understood that he still loves me like I love him? "Do you still remember that I had a friend named Xiao Yuan in college?" I raised my head, my thoughts drifted far away. My mother stopped suddenly, and after a long time, she seemed to remember something, "Remember! That summer you had a fever of forty degrees, and you kept saying this name when you were unconscious. Later, I asked your teacher He and his classmates knew that he had gone abroad." I stared at my mother with wide eyes, "What else do you know?" "One of your teachers gave me his home phone number. I wanted to ask his parents how to contact him abroad, but his mother told me that their family didn't agree with him being with you at all." My mother narrated plainly , but there was a sense of sadness in the voice. "Since the child has gone abroad, it proves that he has a lofty heart and will not give up his future for you. Such a person cannot be entrusted with life..." "Later, he called home several times, and I told him you were not there. Later, we changed our phone number..." It turns out that there is a twists and turns between me and Xiao Yuan that I didn't know about! "Mom!" I hugged my mother tightly, wiping tears on her arms. "Cocoa!" My mother patted me on the back, "Go to sleep!" "No, I want to sleep with you tonight!" I lay in her arms and refused to leave. I'm afraid to sleep alone at night, that way, I will feel very lonely when I dream of Xiao Yuan again. Every day when I go to work, I deliberately avoid Xiao Yuan and try to hide as far away as possible. He is no longer the young boy I knew. The current Xiao Yuan exudes the charm of a mature man, and his inadvertent poise and grandeur attract everyone's attention. How could such an excellent man fall in love with me, who is born with little tendons? One day, class leader Zhang Cheng got two tickets to Andy Lau's concert, and offered them to me like a treasure, "How about it? Your idol's concert!" "If you don't say that you are the monitor, you are simply too great!" "Then I will accompany you to see it this weekend!" Zhang Cheng suggested. "No, let my mother accompany me!" I knew that Zhang Cheng didn't like Andy Lau very much. When I was in college, he and Xiao Yuan would scoff at me every time I listened to Andy Lau's songs. "The elderly are not interested in these Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, and they will suffer if they go! Let the older people suffer, it is better for me to suffer!" Zhang Cheng is very considerate. "Haha, if my mother hears you say that, she must be in a hurry with you!" "how?" "She is more fan of Andy Lau than I am!" "God, why is there such an old lady?" "My mother is not old!" I retorted him, "Well, next time I invite you to the gymnasium to watch basketball."
