I am destined to have no taste for this meal.
After returning home, I slept in a daze the whole night, as if I was asleep, but also as if I was awake.
The next day, I slept until noon and felt dizzy even when I walked.
I rummaged through the refrigerator and made myself some fish-flavored eggplant and shrimp and tofu. After eating a bowl of rice, I felt a little more energetic.
It was the evening of the concert and it was still early, so instead of getting bogged down in negativity, I simply turned on my computer and got ready for work.
For example, first check the social platform.
I was cheered up when I saw the message sent by MS official account.
Just as he was about to take a closer look, Jiang Lai's phone rang, "Baby, are you okay?"
I didn’t want her to worry, “It’s fine.”
"Has Fu Qichuan returned home?"
I was silent for a moment, "No."
"Then don't mention him. It's bad luck."
Jiang Lai changed the subject, "I called you to ask if you knew about the MS co-branded product."
"I just saw it."
In the past, for co-branded products, the brands would reach an agreement and sign a contract and that was it.
This time, MS's Christmas collaboration will be launched in the form of a design competition.
Each brand has two entries, and MS will collaborate with the brand whose designer wins.
The winning designer and the MS team worked together to complete the joint design.
MS, the number one in luxury brand.
As soon as this news comes out, all major brands will definitely rush to grab this collaboration opportunity.
It can be said that each of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea has its own magical powers.
Jiang Lai, "Are you moved?"
"Of course. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a good opportunity?"
It is such a rare opportunity to be able to work with MS.
I said helplessly: "But there are many designers who are better than me. I guess I can only think about it."
Jiang Lai smiled cunningly, "Isn't Senior Lu the current president of the MS division? Why don't you ask him to help you do some behind-the-scenes operations?"
"screw you."
I laughed, "Then what kind of people have Lu Shiyan and I become? It's not fair to others either."
"Oh, don't think too much. Isn't our country a society based on favors? There are many people who use connections to get projects. Do you think other brands won't contact Lu Shiyan privately? Will they think this is unfair to you?"
"That's their business. I don't want this to happen anyway," I insisted.
Jiang Lai was so disappointed that he said, "You are so stubborn. This is just a project. I'm not asking you to do something shady in a serious design competition."
"Since it's called a competition, I'll follow the rules. Also, do you think Senior Lu would agree? He's not the type to show favoritism."
"That's true."
Jiang Lai thought about it thoughtfully, then smiled, "But maybe he's willing to set a precedent for you."
"You have a nice idea."
I denied it without thinking. Lu Shiyan and I had a good relationship in college, but we haven't seen each other for three years. Why would he set a precedent for me right away?
"Don't worry, I may not even get a place in the competition."
Fu Jinan is the director now, and she has the final say on F&A matters. There are only two vacancies in a company, and it is unlikely that one will be assigned to me.
Jiang Lai cursed the national treasure, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that there's a Philippe watch that's standing in your way."
I smiled and said, "Let's wait until I get to work on Monday and see."
That's all we can do.
After hanging up the phone, I looked at the door of my house, which was still silent.
I feel a little heavy in my heart.
But it didn't seem surprising.
With Fu Jin'an around, it's normal for him to stand me up.
Maybe he even forgot that it was he who took the initiative to suggest that we go to the concert together.
I was halfway through my work when my cell phone suddenly rang.
I saw the caller ID and it felt unreal. I was stunned for a moment before I picked up the phone. “Hello.”
"My family?"
He seemed to be standing in an empty place, his voice low and full of fatigue.
I stood up and walked to the balcony, stretching my cervical spine. Enduring the pain, I deliberately asked, "Well, how about you? Are you still busy?"
Come to think of it, Fu Jinan lost so much blood.
How can he feel at ease?
"Almost done."
He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his voice became clearer. "The ticket is on the counter in the entrance hall. Remember to take it with you when you leave."
Although it was expected, I still felt uncomfortable when he said it himself, "You're not coming?"
"What are you thinking about? See you at the gymnasium entrance..."
He chuckled softly, and just as he was halfway through his words, he suddenly heard a weak but broken voice questioning, "Achuan, who are you calling? Didn't you promise me..."
The voice stopped abruptly.
It wasn't that Fu Qichuan stopped her, but that the call was hung up.
Why does it make him and I seem like we're having an affair?
And I am the mistress.
I stared blankly at the black screen of my phone, feeling an endless bitterness in my heart. It felt like my heart was being tightly squeezed by an invisible hand, making it hard to breathe.
I really can't figure out what Fu Qichuan wants to do and what kind of situation he wants to achieve.
He insisted on moving in with me, showed me care and concern, and even went to work with me in a high-profile manner, letting everyone in the company know my identity, as if he cared about me.
When I was about to change my mind, he left me aside and stayed with Fu Jinan all night.
And... gave birth to a child.
Fu Qichuan, what am I to you?
As this question popped up in my mind, the phone screen lit up and a WeChat message popped up.
"Before the deadline for admission, if I'm not there yet, you go in first."
He gave me the answer.
He chose Fu Jinan again.
I stayed on the dialog box interface, reading that sentence over and over again until my eyes hurt.
Even breathing hurts.
Fu Qichuan has made me experience what it feels like to be abandoned several times, and each time was very profound.
As I watched, I started laughing again.
Laugh at your own stupidity.
No matter how badly hurt I was, as long as he beckoned me with his finger, I would run over happily.
But I don’t blame myself.
As Jiang Lai said, one-third of my life is spent on him.
From cautious secret love to uneasy fulfillment of wish, I have tasted all the bitterness, sweetness, sourness and spiciness of liking someone.
After eight years, it’s hard to part with a dog.
I sat on the lazy sofa, in a daze for a long time, until it was almost time, then I got up and put on some delicate makeup.
She went into the cloakroom and picked out a light brown satin halter dress.
After all, it’s a concert of a singer I’ve liked for many years, so I should go there looking pretty.
Before going out, I looked at myself in the mirror and was quite satisfied.
Her long hair is casually tied up, and her swan neck is slender and superior. Although her appearance is not stunning at first glance, she is more attractive for a long time. A pair of shallow dimples just neutralize the cold feeling on her body.
The long skirt she wore was not a slim fit, but it was lazy and casual, perfect for occasions like concerts.
I put on a windbreaker of the same color and went out calmly.
When we arrived at the stadium, the entrance was already incredibly bustling and there was a drizzle, but it did not affect the energy of the fans. They had all kinds of cheering makeup on their faces and were holding banners and light boards in their hands.
Compared to you, I'm just a casual fan at best.
"Miss, you can come in now! Hurry!"
A girl about ten years old saw me standing at the door in a daze and greeted me enthusiastically.
I came to my senses and looked around again, "I..."
The person I'm waiting for hasn't come yet.
