Chapter 38: The road that people always have to walk
Shen Yumo likes "The Pursuit of Happyness" very much.
She felt that the novel was like a shot in the arm, giving her great courage to face life again.
However, she doesn't like the words "young talent".
Because yesterday, a young talent came to my uncle’s 80th birthday party.
However, she did not like this young talent, even though he looked good and had a bright future. But as the saying goes, people with different ideals cannot work together.
She knew exactly why this person came to attend her uncle's 80th birthday party, so she left without waiting for the meal to be over.
Now she just wants to live her life well.
"Yumo, wait until Xu Lingyun comes. If you have any questions, you can discuss them with him face to face!"
Zhang Dening said with a smile: "Maybe I can give you an unexpected answer!"
"You know what? I asked this guy why he wrote novels, and he said without hesitation that he did it to eat meat."
"Haha, it's rare to find someone so straightforward."
Shen Yumo paused as she was sweeping the floor. Such an answer was really beyond her expectations.
But she felt that what Xu Lingyun said should be true.
"Yumo, you can be considered as Xu Lingyun's mentor." Zhang Dening continued, "Let's have a good chat. It will also be beneficial to our future work."
"This Xu Lingyun is very talented. I think he will be a very suitable candidate for our future manuscript compilation."
Shen Yumo smiled and said, "Then I will meet this Xu Lingyun with Teacher Zhang today to see if he has the same ideas as me."
After saying this, a hint of anticipation arose in Shen Yumo's heart.
What does Xu Lingyun, the young man who wrote about believing that happiness would come sooner or later in a difficult environment, look like? Will he be as handsome and smart as the Xu Lingyun he wrote about? In addition to reviewing manuscripts, editors also have many other chores.
For example, communicate with the printing factory, contact the bookstore to confirm the number of copies, etc.
As a newcomer, Shen Yumo has been busy since he started working.
At around nine o'clock, Zou Yanlai arranged for her to go to a sister unit to pick up a document.
Shen Yumo naturally could not shirk this kind of daily work, so she pushed her bicycle and walked out of the unit's gate.
The cold winter wind has long blown off the last remaining leaves on the branches.
Just as Shen Yumo was about to get on her bike, she saw a familiar figure getting off the bus and striding towards her.
Seeing this familiar figure, Shen Yumo was stunned.
She was too familiar with this person.
After all, they have lived together for a long time.
Although they have agreed to end the marriage, they are not enemies after all.
So after hesitating for a moment, Shen Yumo still looked towards the figure.
Cheng Xuyuan, who was walking over, also saw Shen Yumo pushing a bicycle.
He has very deep memories of Shen Yumo.
This memory comes from the master.
Although Shen Yumo was wearing a bulky coat in the cold wind, she was still so graceful as she held the bicycle.
Cheng Xuyuan felt that although the owner was a bit pedantic in terms of feelings, his vision was still quite tasteful.
He didn't expect that when he came to the editorial department of "Yenching Literature and Art", he would actually meet Shen Yumo.
How could she be here? Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment and then walked towards Shen Yumo.
Although he was not prepared to continue with this woman whose heart was not with him, this woman was still very good to him anyway.
The house and the job all came from the support of this woman.
I don't have to fight against the sky and the earth in the howling cold wind, but that's all thanks to others.
We are not husband and wife, but friends.
No one has done anything wrong to anyone, so how can they become enemies? "Shen Yumo, why are you here?" After approaching, Cheng Xuyuan saw that Shen Yumo was hesitant and had no intention of speaking, so he smiled and greeted him.
In the past, the master always called Shen Yumo "Yu Mo".
After all, this is the wife he has married.
However, Cheng Xuyuan addressed Shen Yumo with his surname.
The addition of this surname gives people an indescribable sense of distance.
Shen Yumo was stunned for a moment! When Cheng Xuyuan came over, an idea quickly popped up in her mind, that is, he came to find her.
But Cheng Xuyuan's greeting just now made her realize clearly that this was just a chance encounter.
Thinking of this, I felt a little lost.
"Xu... Cheng Xuyuan, I'm working here." After calming down for a while, Shen Yumo pretended to be calm and asked, "What about you? Why are you here?"
Cheng Xuyuan is not a flamboyant person! Facing Shen Yumo, he has no intention of revenge.
I don't have any thoughts like "You looked down on me before, so now I will make you unable to reach me" or anything like that.
There is nothing wrong with Shen Yumo pursuing his own happiness.
Compared with those young ladies in later generations who built their own fish ponds and played very well, Shen Yumo was far ahead of them.
"I'm here to do something." Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Are you used to living in Yanjing?"
"It's good. After all, I'm home." Shen Yumo hesitated for a moment and said softly, "What about you? Is there anything you're not used to?"
"If...if there's anything that makes you uncomfortable, just tell me...my dad said he can still help me now."
Cheng Xuyuan couldn't help laughing.
Through the master's memory, he knew Shen Yumo's character very well.
It was not easy for her to take the initiative to say such friendly words.
"Uncle has helped me a lot. By the way, please thank him on my behalf. I have already been assigned a place to live." Cheng Xuyuan said, "I am preparing to move in the next two days."
Got an allocation of housing? Move!
Hearing this, Shen Yumo was stunned for a moment.
She knew that the house should be divided between the two of them.
After all, bachelors can only live in single dormitories!
Cheng Xuyuan was very direct in stating his share, which meant that, in Cheng Xuyuan's words, this had nothing to do with him.
Although this was the result that she and her family expected, she still felt a little dazed.
He has changed! He is much more confident than before!
And it seemed that he treated me as an ordinary friend, just as he said.
"This is a good thing. If you need any help, just tell me."
"I don't have any great abilities, but I can still help with small things." When Shen Yumo said this, he felt a little uneasy.
She was afraid that Cheng Xuyuan would refuse directly, and she was also afraid that he would make a request that would be difficult for her to fulfill.
Her heart was filled with confusion.
"Thank you, Sister Yumo. If I need anything, I will definitely ask for your help." Cheng Xuyuan glanced at the bicycle Shen Yumo was pushing and said, "Sister Yumo, are you going out?"
Hearing this, Shen Yumo understood that Cheng Xuyuan wanted to end the conversation with him.
While she breathed a sigh of relief, she also felt a little lost for some unknown reason.
In the past, she was the one who ended the conversation between two people.
"I'm going to get a document." Shen Yumo calmed himself down and said.
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Then drive slowly on the road."
Shen Yumo got on his bicycle, waved goodbye, and rode forward.
Cheng Xuyuan stood aside, waved gently, waited for the bicycle to pass by, and also stepped forward.
They are all moving forward!
It's just that they are heading in different directions.
The bicycle traveled for dozens of meters and came to a bend. At the moment of turning, Shen Yumo turned his head and looked towards the gate of the unit.
Cheng Xuyuan walked forward without looking back! Dear big brothers, thank you for your support. Please continue to support me!
