Chapter 89 Chapter 89 Leaving
High-intensity work can make people forget their own lives. It is so dark that you can't see the sun or the moon. Li Jinglang seems to have forgotten himself under this pressure.
It’s better this way, at least I won’t miss you so much that I become sick.
Another year has passed. As the year draws to a close, Beining has been hit by heavy snow for several consecutive days. Finally, one day, all work was stopped and everyone could finally take a break from their busy work.
Sometimes people don’t look forward to natural disasters, but rather hope to find a little bit of warmth and comfort in the endless work.
This seems to have become a luxury, a proposition that adults have to compromise because they need to fit in this badass world.
When we received the news of the shutdown, everyone in the office was very excited, discussing what supplies to replenish at home, and more importantly, everyone was excited about this sudden break.
Li Jinglang sat alone in the office, staring at the vast expanse of white outside the window. He was not happy about the shutdown. He was not a boss who wanted to exploit his employees, but... he suddenly didn't know what to do.
Come to think of it, he doesn't even have any friends around him.
Lu Yi has returned to school to continue his postgraduate studies. He is already in his third year. He is very busy now and has little time to rest. He even gave up his previous hobbies because of the heavy scientific research work. He even has to find free time to reply to a message.
Ouyang Che did return to China, but he still stayed in Nancy. Perhaps he was deeply hurt by his last relationship. He hasn't been active for a long time. The occasional posts on his Moments are all about work matters. As for what happened before, he doesn't want to mention it again.
Zhou Ruian also went on vacation overseas with Chen Jiaxin, and now he has no time to care about others.
It turns out that everyone is spinning like a top in their own world, and when it really stops, it seems that only emptiness is left.
As the company grew, work became increasingly demanding, and Li Jinglang moved to a residential complex ten minutes' walk from the company. Housing prices there were prohibitively high, but he could now afford to live there on his own, without needing help from anyone.
A few days ago, he bought a bottle of jasmine sake, thinking that if he really had nothing to do, he could try it.
He could actually work from home, but since he was taking a break, he didn't want to make everyone else work too hard, so he decided to just stop for a day so that everyone could take a break.
The supermarket had been cleared out, and everyone rushed to other shopping spots after work. Li Jinglang was still the last one to leave.
When he got home that day, for the first time in his life, he did not continue to work overtime. Instead, he fell on the bed and took a long nap. There was no reason, he just wanted to escape this extremely lonely moment.
But I woke up in the early morning when it was even more lonely.
It was terribly dark outside, and the street lights made it dim and unclear, like a canvas damaged by dye, dirty and grimy.
The snow outside had buried half of the car and completely covered the passage. The towering buildings were all wearing white hats, and from the top floor, there was only one color.
Li Jinglang hadn't logged into the social platform for a long time. That day, on a whim, he logged in at four in the morning.
For some unknown reason, he secretly used his private account to sneak into the platform that he had not visited for a long time and clicked on the only account he followed.
Tang Ningyue has always been very active. In her life, nothing seems to really bother her. Even though he has become absent-minded over the years, she still has a smile on her face.
She updates her posts very frequently, including travels, new movies, new projects, and Zhou Yuhe's anniversary. Sometimes it's photos, sometimes just a few short sentences.
In short, everything is good in her life, happy and fulfilling.
She recently got a puppy. She posted a photo of herself holding the puppy. The puppy was lying on her chest and sleeping soundly.
Li Jinglang stared at the photo in a daze for a long time, and for some unknown reason he wanted to reach out and touch it. He only came to his senses when he touched the cold screen.
In the lower right corner of the photo, half of a man's arm is exposed. Although hidden in the corner, it is wrapped around Tang Ningyue's waist, pretending to be low-key.
This update was posted not long ago, and Tang Ningyue also added a text.
My husband named it Toffee, what a cute name.
“.....”
Li Jinglang slammed the computer shut, then leaned back on the table with his head supported by his arms.
He didn't understand why, after so long, he still felt so uncomfortable seeing this kind of news, even though everyone around him said he had changed a lot.
Why is it still like this... It's even more painful than before, as if someone grabbed his neck, suddenly let go when he was about to suffocate, and then kicked him hard in the abdomen.
He hadn't drunk the sake on the table yet, but he couldn't help but vomit in the bathroom, and the feeling of nausea lingered for a long time.
He never thought that time was a healer.

Milk candy is still quite lively in Singapore, but Tang Ningyue only puts it in the bedroom when Zhou Yuhe is not around.
Although Zhou Yuhe said that his allergies are not as severe as before, the fact is that his family cannot keep furry pets.
Zhou Yuhe had continuous allergic reactions, and even though she tried her best to disguise it, she was still discovered by Tang Ningyue. She had to make a choice, and there was only one option.
Tang Ningyue finally decided to give Naitang away. Even though she was reluctant, she still had to consider Zhou Yuhe.
But Zhou Yuhe insisted on keeping the candy. He just didn't want his wife to be sad, so he would rather suffer a little more.
"Anyway, I often go back on business trips and can go see it." Tang Ningyue said to him.
Zhou Yuhe sat on the bay window, the red spots on his arms had not yet disappeared. He watched Tang Ningyue put Naitang back into the cage and couldn't help but sigh.
"Have you found a good family yet?"
"Xu Qing also said that he has contacted someone to adopt it." Tang Ningyue looked at the puppy lying in its nest, looking a little depressed. "I hope he can treat it well."
Naitang no longer needs milk and his body is well taken care of. He has completely left the pet hospital. Tang Ningyue guessed that people were willing to adopt Naitang because they heard that he no longer needed special care.
It sounds heartbreaking, but that's the truth. People are always comparing gains and losses, just like some people will post a list of their own and their partner's conditions online for everyone to judge and weigh the pros and cons.
After all the calculations, I don’t know what it means. Even all the emotional colors have been erased, leaving only the transaction.
[Can I meet the person who adopted Toffee? ]
Tang Ningyue sent a message to Xu Qingye. She was still worried, but more reluctant.
【Maybe there’s a chance.】
It's hard to coordinate the time we can spend together.
Xu Qing simply replied to two messages.
The news stopped here. I don’t know when many things started to become difficult to coordinate.
It seems that growing up means that you can no longer cry for your favorite toys like you did when you were a child, but you must make compromises, no matter what position you are in.
