Chapter 7 clatter

After taking the bus to the MRT, I went out of the MRT station to buy some food, and it was about 10:30 when I walked home. As soon as he entered the house, he found that Eagle Man and Snake Girl were also there. They should have come to have a meeting with Dadong again. I nodded as a greeting, and walked back to the room. Spread the fried chicken, french fries, and Coke from the fast food restaurant on the table, and prepare to fill your stomach before talking. "Why don't you buy something else?" Snake Girl suddenly appeared on my right, picking up a piece of fried chicken, "Eating fried food is easy to get acne."

"It's good to have something to eat, don't feel bad about it." Ying Man stood on my left and also grabbed a piece of fried chicken. "Hey, this is my dinner!" There was only one piece of fried chicken left in front of me, and I quickly covered it with both hands. Snake ignored my protest and asked Eagle Man while eating fried chicken, "How long has it been since you washed your hair?" "It's only a week." Eagle Man also replied while eating. The snake girl spat and said, "It's really dirty." "Did you know?" Eagle Man said, "My hair is curly and bulging, and I can't catch my scalp when I wash it!"

"Can you tell me something new?" Snake Girl snorted again. "Once after I washed my hair, I found two dead mosquitoes lying on the ground. Guess why?" "I'm not interested in guessing." "It turned out that mosquitoes flew into my hair, but they couldn't fly out and suffocated inside." After speaking, the eagle man laughed, his laughter was sharp and weird, like a vampire. The snake girl didn't want to pay attention to him, picked up my Coke, plugged in a straw and drank it. "Hi!" I yelled, but Snake ignored me. "Do you have a cold?" Hawkman asked.

"No." Snake said. "Then I want to drink too." Eagle Man took the Coke from Snake Girl's hand, wiped the top edge of the straw with his finger a few times, and drank it again. "There are so few things." The snake girl's eyes searched my table, "There are only French fries left." "Yeah, it's so inconsiderate, it's not enough for two people." Eagle Man grabbed the French fries and ate them. "Buy more next time, don't be so careless." The snake girl also started eating French fries. "Hey, I bought it for myself!"

The snake girl ignored me again, and wiped her greasy hands with a tissue, "Continue with the discussion just now." "Yeah." Hawkman said. "I have a problem with the breakup scene." "What opinion?" "Why must it be a rainy day to break up? Why can't it be next to the bathroom?" After the snake girl finished speaking, she lit a cigarette and squinted at me. I handed her the Coke glass they had already drank to use as an ashtray. "The imagery of a rainy day is very good." Yingnan said, "When we break up and look up at the sky, we can't tell whether it's tears or rain on our face."

"After breaking up next to the bathroom, I rushed into the bathroom to wash my face, and I couldn't tell whether it was tears or running water on my face." "The splashing rain can remind people that the sky is crying." "When you turn on the faucet, the water will flow out. Does anyone think that the faucet is crying?" "Yes, because the faucet is twisted." "Then if I twist your pig's head, will you cry too?" "No." Eagle Man turned his head to the left and right, and the range of rotation was much larger than that of ordinary people. "Look, my head can turn like this."

"It's disgusting, like an owl." "Is it really similar?" The two of them talked to each other, and they didn't forget to eat all my French fries. "Hey." I stood up and said, "That's enough." Hawk and Snake stopped arguing and turned to look at me. "What's your opinion?" Eagle Man asked. "This is my room." I said. "Nonsense." Snake Girl raised her head and blew a smoke ring, "Is it better to use the bathroom or the rainy day?" "The bathroom is good." "Oh?" Hawkman was curious.

"After breaking up, the heroine will rush to the bathroom, cry while going to the bathroom, her face and butt can slap at the same time!" I was a little impatient, and these words almost blurted out. Instead, Eagle Man and Snake Woman were quiet for a few seconds and looked at each other. "Good night." Eagle Man patted me on the shoulder, "Go to bed early." "Don't be too tired," Snake said. Hawkman walked out of my room, turned around and said, "Life is full of stress." "It's good to get up if you fall." The snake girl also left, and then closed the door behind her.

Just when I felt relieved, Eagle Man's voice came from outside the door: "This kid is crazy." "I think so too." Snake said, "We rarely see eye to eye." "It's worth remembering." "Yes." Then there was a burst of laughter that was not deliberately suppressed. I covered my ears and let go after a while. After confirming that there was no sound, I turned on the computer. I haven't made any progress for several days, so I have to write something tonight. I don’t know if it’s because I saw the girl who studied art again; It was Xiaoli who got a good relationship with the name of the picture, and the words tonight are almost written in flying.

The speed of words flying in my mind is much faster than the speed of typing with both hands. On the one hand, I have to catch up, and on the other hand, I have to worry that the words will accidentally fly into Yingman's hair and get trapped. Fortunately, the words in my head are not eyeless mosquitoes. They always fly for a while, then stop and wait for me for a while, and when I catch up with them, they will continue to fly forward. In the end I caught up with them when Ke Xue said, "See you tomorrow at the coffee shop." I looked at my watch and found that I had been writing continuously for several hours.

But I don't feel tired, but I feel refreshed. The voices of Dadong and the others could be faintly heard in the living room, and it seemed that they would discuss until dawn. I don't want to be entangled by Eagle Man and Snake Woman anymore, turn off the computer and lights, and fall asleep. After waking up, after washing and getting ready to go to work, I found a note on the table: "Thank you for the fried chicken, and a kiss for you. Katherine. ps. Remember to lock the door when you sleep." After thinking for a long time, I remembered that Katherine is the English name of the snake girl, and I couldn't help shivering. Immediately take off the coat you are wearing, put on a thicker coat, and then go to work. Although I only slept for about three hours last night, I woke up feeling pretty good. When I was about to walk to the company building, I suddenly remembered the one-minute appointment with Ms. Cao. I was delayed for some time by the snake girl's note before going out, will I lose my head today because of this? Subconsciously quicken the pace, walking and running, hoping to offset the lost time. As soon as she walked into the company's gate, she was still panting. When she saw Ms. Cao, she seemed to be taken aback. We looked at each other for a few seconds, she quickly picked up a piece of paper, cleared her throat, and began to sing: "I can't open my mouth to say, you are in my heart. La la la la la, you are on my mind. Even though you are gone, you are still in my heart. But but, la la la, I'm heartbroken waiting for you. Although you are in my heart, la la la, please forgive me. " La la la la la, my heart is dead. " After singing, she put down the note, "This song is not well written." Although I thought the tune was weird and not smooth, I still said, "No, it's pretty good." "Really?" She didn't seem to believe it, "Tell the truth." I smiled sheepishly and said, "The lyrics are weird, with a lot of "la"." "That's a mixed word." She smiled happily. "In many songs, when the lyrics don't know what to fill in, they will use meaningless words such as la, oh, yah, and so on." "Really?" I thought for a moment, "I will pay attention to this when I listen to songs in the future." "Also, I hum the tune casually, and I don't have time to compose it properly." "Yes." I smiled and said nothing more. "By the way, speaking of shit, there's a joke about music. Want to hear it?" "Ok." "After watching the performance, an audience member ran to the person in charge and asked him: Your playbill clearly says mixed chorus, but there are only men in the chorus. What's going on?" I saw her pause, so I had to ask casually, "What's going on?" "The person in charge replied: That's right, because only half of them can sing, and the other half can't sing - it's a mix-up." After Miss Cao finished speaking, she laughed, and the more she laughed, the happier she became. Although the joke was very cold, it was rare for her to tell a joke, not to mention that she herself thought it was very funny, so I forced the corners of my frozen mouth to show my appreciation with a slight smile. "I'm off to work," I said when her laughter died down. "You can't mix it up." After she finished speaking, she might be intoxicated by the joke she just told, so she laughed again. I didn't wait for her to finish laughing this time, so I nodded and walked to my desk. Turn on the computer, take advantage of the gap between the boots, and slowly digest what just happened. Although Miss Cao is a beautiful woman, she really can't tell jokes. I think of the lady who taught English in college when she was in college, and she called everyone up during the final exam and told him jokes in English.The louder the person who laughed, the higher the English score. At that time, although I could understand what she said, the joke was so cold that I couldn't laugh at all. As a result, I almost failed in English, and I passed after the make-up exam. Later, I developed a habit of laughing forever, no matter how cold a joke is. Looking at the computer screen, think about what to do today? Just finished the service proposal, now just prepare the data for the presentation. Although I really want to put all my mind on work, but this kind of work does not require too much brain, so my mind often sneaks into the world of novels. Occasionally, I realize that I am a science student and should strictly abide by the truth that I must be serious at work, so I forcefully pull my mind back to the computer screen. But the activities of the mind are originally free, and it is difficult to be interfered and restricted. This is also a kind of truth. Just like when Newton was hit on the head by an apple under the apple tree, it was caused by gravity, and gravity is the truth; it hurts when he was hit on the head by an apple, which is also the truth. When Newton's head hurt, it didn't mean he didn't believe in gravity. So when my head is wandering at work, it doesn't mean I'm not serious about going to work. My personality is that if I do something against the truth, I will try to prove that it is also a kind of truth. "You've been on this screen for a long time." Miss Li said behind me, "You're messing around." "I'm training my concentration and patience," I said. "Stop bragging." Miss Li said, "Where do you want to go?" "what?" "The company wants to organize a staff trip, Mr. Zhou asked me to investigate everyone's opinions." "Do you want to pay?" "No need to." "Mr. Zhou is so generous? He doesn't look like a person who will discover his conscience." "Stop talking nonsense." Miss Li patted my head. "Hey, Xiao Liang." Miss Li stopped Xiao Liang who was passing by my table, "Have you decided where to go?" "Wait for me a little longer." He turned around and said, "I'll ask Li Yan to discuss it together." "Can Miss Cao go play?" I asked Miss Li. "Nonsense. She's an employee." "Then can I go too?" "Are you asking for a beating?" Ms. Li patted my head again, "You are also an employee!" "If you don't go, can you convert it into cash?" "Of course not." "Then I have no problem, it's fine to go anywhere." Xiao Liang walked over with Ms. Cao, and there was a mahjong table next to my desk. Miss Li took Miss Cao's hands and asked with a smile, "Li Yan, where do you want to go?" "Hmm..." Ms. Cao thought for a while, "I've been to the United States, Australia, and New Zealand. I've been to France, Switzerland, and Austria in Europe. I heard that Greece is beautiful, but I haven't been there yet. Let's go to Greece." After Miss Cao finished speaking, I, Xiaoliang and Miss Li looked at each other, speechless. "What's wrong?" Seeing that we didn't answer, Miss Cao asked. "Li Yan." Miss Li put away her smile, "Could you go a little closer?" "Then Japan." Ms. Cao said, "Or South Korea." "Can you come a little closer?" Miss Li's tone was almost pleading. "Southeast Asia?" Miss Cao shook her head, "But I don't like places that are too hot." "Li Yan." Ms. Li slowly let go of Ms. Cao's hands and said, "Did you know that this company's staff travel is free of charge?" "I know, so I wonder why the company is so generous." Ms. Cao said, "Because if you go abroad to play, you have to spend a lot of money on the round-trip air ticket." "Have you ever thought about it, maybe the company means not to fly." Ms. Li said. "Take a cruise?" Ms. Cao opened her eyes wide, "That's not cheap." Ms. Li opened her mouth wide and looked at me in bewilderment, her eyes begging for help. "Miss Cao." I coughed twice, "Have you heard a word?" "Which sentence?" "To fight against the outside world, we must first secure the inside." "Ok?" "This sentence means that before going abroad to play, you must first visit Taiwan." "Don't fool me, I know the real meaning of this sentence." Miss Cao laughed, "You should say it clearly." I also smiled, "It is impossible for the company to pay too much money, so we only play in Taiwan." "So that's it, I might have misunderstood it." Ms. Cao stuck out her tongue and said, "But I usually go abroad for fun. I don't know where Taiwan is more fun." "I want to know where the fun is," Xiao Liang interjected, patted his chest and said, "Just ask me." "Really?" Miss Cao's voice was a little excited. "Well. When I was in college, the roommate next door to my dorm room was really good at playing." "Do people who live next to a zoo know monkeys better?" I said. "What do you mean?" Xiao Liang said. "Would I know more about politics if the roommate next door to me worked in the presidential palace?" "Hello." Xiao Liang glanced at me, then turned to Miss Cao and said, "Li Yan, ignore him." "Do you prefer places with beautiful scenery?" Xiao Liang asked Ms. Cao, "Or places like primitive forests or seaside?" "Hmm..." Ms. Cao pondered for a while, then turned to me and asked, "What do you think?" "If it's you, you don't need to go to places with beautiful scenery." I said. "why?" "If you were Andy Lau, would you still think Tony Leung is amazing?" "What's the meaning?" "Most people will be very excited to see a celebrity, but if you are a celebrity yourself, you won't feel that seeing a celebrity is so great." "What are you talking about?" Miss Cao's expression became more and more confused. "You are already a beautiful person, so you shouldn't feel that the beautiful scenery is anything special. That's why I say, you don't have to go to places with beautiful scenery. " "I've been listening very carefully, I didn't expect you to be talking nonsense." Ms. Cao laughed. "When did you become so talkative?" Miss Li asked me softly in my ear. "Secret." I also half covered my mouth and whispered. In fact, it’s not a secret. I think it’s probably because recently my thoughts are always wandering in the world of novels, and the dialogues in novels are accidentally applied to daily life. Although Xiaoliang seemed a little discouraged because I stole the spotlight, he immediately turned from defense to offense and told a long list of interesting places in Taiwan, which Ms. Cao listened to with gusto. Anyway, for me, it's all the same wherever I go, so I don't interrupt. "The conclusion is," Xiao Liang said, "it's best to go to the east, and you can also soak in hot springs." "But I heard that you don't wear clothes when you go to the hot springs." Ms. Cao was a little embarrassed. "It's true that the Japanese don't wear clothes to go to the hot springs, but in Taiwan you can wear swimsuits." As expected of Xiao Liang, Xiao Liang could think of such a way to make Miss Cao wear a swimsuit. "How about a hot spring?" Miss Cao turned to me and asked. "Of course, you don't have to worry." I am also worthy of being me. Even if I disdain Xiao Liang, I know that the overall situation must be the most important thing. Ms. Li wrote the opinions of the three of us as: the east, soaking in hot springs. Then she continued to consult other colleagues, and Xiao Liang and Miss Cao also left one after another. I turned my eyes back to the computer screen, but my mind quickly went to the world of the novel; Or fantasize about Ms. Cao wearing a bathing suit and soaking in a hot spring. Work, novels, and Ms. Cao wearing a swimsuit just constitute the x, y, and z axes of the three-dimensional space. My thinking is not linear, and I can't just fall on any one axis. In other words, the trajectory of thinking is a function of x, y, and z. I had to keep leaving my seat to go to the bathroom and wash my face in cold water, hoping to focus. But today I don't know what to do, I just can't concentrate. Not only the conversation between Yishu and Ke Xue was in his mind, but Ms. Cao's voice also came to join in the fun. "The hot spring is so hot." "yes." "Want to come down for a bath together?" "OK." It drives me crazy. Standing up for the Nth time, I took the cup to the tea room to make a cup of hot tea, and it happened that Ms. Cao was also there. She smiled at me first, then pressed the hot water button on the water dispenser to heat the water. "Would you like some tea too?" "Ok." "Come." She stretched out her right hand, "I'll make it for you." I suddenly thought of the picture of soaking in the hot spring together, so the tingling feeling caused by embarrassment immediately penetrated my whole body, and the cup in my hand almost slipped. "I..." I started to stammer, "I'll make it myself." Maybe my expression and movements were too weird, she laughed. After adding hot water, I returned to my desk with a red face. I think there is probably no way out today, so I might as well put it on the shelf. I can go where my mind likes to go, if it wanders into the world of novels, I will write down the journey with a pen; If it swayed to the hot spring, I would imagine the style of Ms. Cao's swimsuit to my heart's content; If it's back in front of the computer, I organize the content of the presentation. "Oh my God!" Miss Li exclaimed, "You've been stuck on this screen all day today!" I looked back at her and didn't even have the energy to speak. "It's amazing that you can mix like this at work." She clicked her tongue a few times. I saw that she was carrying her briefcase, so I asked, "Is it already off-duty time?" "Yes." "Finally free." I exhaled a long breath. "By the way, it has been decided that the employees will travel to the east to soak in hot springs for two days and one night." Ms. Li paused, then said, "Looks like I have to buy a swimsuit." "..." I was suddenly frightened and couldn't speak for a long time. After Ms. Li left, I couldn't imagine her bathing in a hot spring in a bathing suit, so I wanted to get off work quickly. But after struggling for several times, he still couldn't get up, and finally he just lay down on the table. I feel like a koala with a hemiplegia. "Hello." Miss Cao patted my left shoulder, "Are you asleep?" I bounced up and my whole body woke up. "After get off work, shall we go together?" "Ok." I hastily packed my briefcase and got up to leave. "I want to ask you," Miss Cao said while waiting for the elevator, "Will I be rude today?" "Excuse me?" I wondered, "What are you talking about?" "It's about going to play. I didn't know that I only played in Taiwan and talked about so many countries." "It's okay." I smiled, "You are overthinking." The elevator came, and we walked in at the same time.She went on to say, "My father only took me abroad to play when I was young, and I don't seem to have played in Taiwan specifically in my impression." "Wow, your father should be very rich." "Yeah." Miss Cao lowered her head, "I'm really sorry." The elevator door opened, and Ms. Cao walked out first, but I was taken aback by her sorry. When I regained my consciousness and stepped out of the elevator, I was almost caught in the door that was about to close. "Why do you say sorry?" I asked. "Because my family is very good." "Huh?" I was confused. "Most people have to work hard for life or sacrifice some ideals; but I never have to worry about these, and I can live as I want." She sighed, and then said: "It makes me feel a lot sorry people." Walking out of the company building, because her house is to the left, but the cafe is on the right, so we stopped at the same time before saying goodbye. "Can you play dark chess?" "I can." "In fact, playing dark chess is the same as life. It depends on both luck and strength." Although she didn't reply, her eyes lit up. "You were lucky to be born into a wealthy family; but if you want to achieve yourself, you still have to rely on your strength." "yes?" "Well." I nodded, "Jordan's natural elasticity and muscle coordination are better than ordinary people, that's his luck; but he didn't become the god of basketball just by luck." "Oh." "Jordan won't feel sorry for other basketball players on the basketball court because of his good innate conditions and has a lot of advantages." I smiled, "Isn't it?" "Yes." Miss Cao also laughed. "Miss Cao." I called her. "Ok?" "I forgive you." "Why should you forgive me?" "Because my family is not well off." She froze for a moment, then laughed out loud, and the more she laughed, the happier she became, without any sign of stopping. I thought it was impossible for her to laugh so exaggeratedly at what I just said, so I asked, "What's wrong?" "I thought about the look on your faces when I said I wanted to go to Greece." She suppressed a smile. "It was really fun." "Yes." I smiled, "When you are intoxicated by the blue sky in Greece, our faces are as white as the sheets in a Greek hospital." "Sorry." She laughed again, "I really don't know it's only in Taiwan." "It's okay. I can forgive you again." "thanks." "My direction is here..." I stretched out my right hand and gestured to the right, "Bye-Bye." "Well, Bye-Bye." I took two steps to the right, and when I heard her calling me, I turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" "Just call me Li Yan from now on, don't call me Miss Cao anymore." "it is good." "Bye-Bye." She waved. I also nodded in response, then turned and headed towards the cafe. As I was walking, a question suddenly popped up in my mind: Ms. Cao, no, it should be called Li Yan. Since she is a music student and her family is rich, why does she work as the switchboard lady in our company? Does she have any last resort? probably not. Because when we were doing that one-minute appointment, she had said it would be fun to be in this class. Pushing open the door of the cafe, I found that the second table by the floor-to-ceiling windows was still empty, so I sat in my old seat with this question. "Is she okay?" The boss came over and handed me the Menu. "Which one is she?" I couldn't react for a while, "The one who drew pictures? Or the one who sang?" "Painting." "Oh. She's fine, just a cold." "Will she come today?" "She said she would." The boss didn't answer, turned around and walked back to the bar. "Hi!" I yelled at him. He stopped and turned around and asked, "What are you doing?" "I haven't ordered coffee yet." I shook the Menu in my hand. He came over again, I ordered a cup of coffee and returned the Menu to him. "You care about her very much." I said again. "It has nothing to do with you." "Your neck is thick now." "What's the meaning?" "Because you are blushing." I said, "It's called blushing and thick neck." The boss didn't respond, didn't even give me a second look, and just walked back to the bar. I took out the paper that I wrote some novel progress in the office today, and planned to wait for her while writing the novel. Miss Cao, no, I will talk about Li Yan later. There is a game that a child often plays like this: first let people read "Mulan Flower" ten times in a row, and after he finishes reading, he immediately asks: Who is the one who joined the army instead of his father? He answered easily: magnolia. So I need to call Li Yan a few more times, and I will get used to calling Ms. Cao Li Yan. Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan, Li Yan... The boss came over and put the coffee on the table, took one look at me, and I stopped muttering immediately. After my first sip of coffee, I started to focus on myself. Although I have the mood of waiting, I believe that the girl who studies art will come, so I am very relieved. When the paper is full, take out another blank paper from the briefcase and look at the watch by the way. It's a bit late, why hasn't the girl who studied art appeared yet? Just because I believed she would come and she didn't show up, I began to feel uneasy again. The coffee cup has already been finished, and the teacup is also empty. I picked up the empty cup and shook it towards the bar, signaling to the boss to add some water. The owner came out of the bar and went straight to my table without a kettle. "Why didn't she come?" he asked. "how could I know." I compared the cup without water again, but he ignored me. "Didn't you say she would come?" "That's what she said." "Has she recovered from her cold?" "She said it was almost ready." "Is it up to the doctor whether the cold will be cured? Or is it up to her?" "Of course the doctor has the final say." "Is she a doctor?" "of course not." "Then why do you believe that she will recover from a cold?" "Hey." I started a confrontation with the boss, he was standing and I was sitting. I found that there were almost no flaws in his whole body, and when he was thinking hard about how to make a move, there was a clear and loud "Dangdang" sound from the front left. "Quick!" The girl who studied art pushed open the shop door and rushed in, grabbed my left hand, and gasped, "Follow me!" "I haven't paid yet." I am worthy of being a science student. In the midst of war and chaos, I still strictly adhere to the truth that I have to pay for coffee. "It's on me." She said to the boss first, and then turned to me, "It's too late, hurry up!" I stood up as she pulled me, and then she turned around, took my hand and rushed out of the cafe. It feels like she is the one who suddenly broke into the auditorium and took the bride away in the plot of the novel or movie. She pulled me all the way across the road to the alley next to the MRT station, where her red car was parked. "Get in the car." She let go of my hand and opened the door. After she finished speaking, she immediately got into the car, and I went around and opened the door on the other side, and got in too. She started the car quickly, and the car moved, and I was still panting. I was about to ask her why she was in such a hurry when she swerved to the right and I moved left and hit the gear lever.The car behind her also heard the sound of emergency braking. "You must be good at playing basketball." I said. "What?" she asked, turning her head. "Everyone thought you were going straight, but you suddenly turned right." "Sorry, I almost forgot to turn right," she said. "But does it have anything to do with basketball?" "That's a good fake on the basketball court," I said. "You dribble to the right when everyone thinks you're going for a jumper." She laughed after listening, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I have a bad driving habit." I caught a glimpse of a throw pillow in the backseat, so I took it and hugged it to my chest. "What are you doing?" she asked again. "This is my airbag." She laughed again, looked at me and said, "Don't be nervous, I will drive carefully." "Then please do me a favor. When talking to me, don't keep looking at me. Pay attention to the front." "Yes." She stuck out her tongue. "What are you running for?" "Go to work." She said, "I have to go to work at 6:30, and I'm going to be late." I looked at my watch, "There are less than ten minutes left." "Really?" she said. "Okay. Sit tight!" "Hey!" I was nervous. "Just kidding." She smiled, "I'll be there in about five minutes." Sure enough, it didn't take long. She parked the car, and I followed her into an American cram school. "Are you a teacher here?" "No." She said, "I'm the switchboard at the counter, and I'm also dealing with some course materials." "Why don't you become a teacher? You are studying abroad, English shouldn't trouble you, right?" "No way." She shrugged, "The boss only uses foreigners as teachers." "Oh." "I studied art abroad, but I can't work in Taiwan with my art major." She said, "But fortunately, my background of studying abroad makes me qualified for this job." She told me to sit at the counter together, and I saw no one else around, so I followed into the counter. A blond woman nearly fell down the stairs and said, "Shit!" The blond woman caught a glimpse of me, smiled generously, and said, "Excuse my French." She talked to the blond woman in English (is it English?), and the blond woman took some handouts from her and went upstairs again. "Why did she say: Excuse my French?" I asked after the blonde woman left. "Britain and France are feuds, so if the British accidentally swear, they will say: Please forgive me for speaking French." "Damn it, the British are insidious," I said. "Huh?" She seemed taken aback. "I'm sorry, please forgive me for speaking Japanese." She relaxed and smiled again. "Actually, my English is not very good." "yes?" "Do you know the band Bee Gees?" "Ok." "I've always mistook them for women." "why?" "Because Bee Gees always sound like Bitches to me." She burst out of laughter and coughed a few times. I thought she must be busy with some work, so I stood up and looked around. Occasionally someone came in for a consultation, and she answered very politely, and the same was true when answering the phone. After working for a while, she said, "I'm sorry, I asked you to accompany me." "It's okay. I'm fine anyway." "I usually go to the cafe to drink coffee after four o'clock, and then rush here to work. But today Xiaoli suddenly developed a fever, and I took her to see a doctor, which was delayed." "Is she all right?" "The fever has subsided." "That's good." "Would you blame me for pulling you here?" "No." I said, "If you don't pull me over, I will blame you." "why?" "Because if I don't see you again today, I will be very worried." "I also thought you would worry about me, so I hurried to the cafe. I just wanted to tell you that I'm not free today, so I can't drink coffee with you." She smiled, "I didn't expect to force you to come here." "You pull very well and are very courageous." She was a little embarrassed and didn't answer. "Are you still painting here?" "Hardly draw." She shook her head, "Besides, this is a place for work after all." "Do you like this job?" "It's work, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not." She said, "After all, you have to live." "I'm feeling it too." "This world is so beautiful, but it's a pity that we can't just live by appreciating the beauty of this world." She sighed, then added: "We have to live with our hearts, and we have to work." "Let me buy you a cup of coffee." "Huh?" She was puzzled, "Why do you suddenly want to buy me a cup of coffee?" "I guess you're the kind of person who thinks the color of the world has changed after drinking coffee." I smiled, "So I want you to have a cup of coffee to change your mood." "Thank you." She finally smiled again. I am not familiar with the environment here, and I saw a chain coffee shop after walking three blocks. I bought a cup of coffee and two cakes, and when I walked out, it started to rain. I went back in the rain. Fortunately, the rain was very light and my body was not very wet. When I got to the entrance of the cram school, I looked at her through the automatic door and found that her eyes became very bright. I deliberately stayed for a dozen more seconds, and then stepped forward to let the automatic door open. "I want to draw pictures," she said. "I know." I said. "I have a pen, but I forgot to bring a drawing book." "I have paper in my briefcase, I'll bring it to you." I put the coffee and cake on her table, "Don't be so confused in the future..." When it comes to confusion, my mouth is slightly opened and I can't close it. "What's wrong?" "My briefcase is still in that cafe." I was embarrassed. "It's okay." She smiled, "There are a lot of papers here, just take any one." She found a piece of paper and began to draw. I turned my back to her, facing out the door, and prayed that no calls would bother her at this point. Through the transparent glass door, I can vaguely see the rain falling from the sky. The rain didn't get heavier and heavier, and it felt very awkward, just like my boss's awkward personality. "It's done," she said. I turned around and she showed me the picture. A girl is drawn in the picture, facing me, she is a very figurative girl, not abstract. I could tell at a glance that she was painting herself.It's not that I'm good, but that she looks like her. The girl seems to be standing in the rain; or rather she is looking at the rain. Since paper is a plane, not a three-dimensional space, both situations can exist in the eyes. Of course, from a scientific point of view, as long as the girl's hair and clothes are wet, it can be judged whether the girl is in the rain or just looking at the rain. But I didn't dissect this painting from this angle, I was deeply attracted by the girl's eyes. "Guess," she said, "is the girl standing in the rain? Or is she looking at the rain?" "She's standing in the rain," I replied. She was a little surprised and didn't speak. I stared at this picture longer and longer, and gradually, I seemed to hear the slight sound of rain. Then I felt soaked and helpless. I turned to look at her and said after a while, "I can feel that you are really unhappy here." She was even more surprised. We were silent for a long time, and suddenly there was a clattering sound outside, and it was raining heavily. "Let me name this picture." I broke the silence and asked her, "OK?" "Okay," she said. "Just call it: hua la la." "Clatter?" "Hmm. Sounds like there's going to be a happy feeling." "yes?" "That's right. And the most important thing is that although you are standing in the rain, you will only hear the sound of the rain, and you will not get wet from the rain." "why?" "Because you have my umbrella." She didn't answer, but looked up at me, the temperature in her eyes gradually increased. I smiled and looked at her for a while, and when I turned my eyes back to the painting of "哗啦啦", I felt that the girl in the painting was no longer standing in the rain, but admiring the rain.
