Above the bottom line, there are principles

Dudu

My thoughts were brought back to reality by the vibration of my phone.

"Boss, boss, I sent you a WeChat message yesterday, why didn't you reply?"

"You really need to change your habit of never replying to messages."

"You can't let me find you."

"Yes, there." Seeing the endless messages, Qi Yue moved her fingers.

"When you were silent, I thought you lost it."

"What's up?"

"I can't look for you if there's nothing wrong."

Qi Yue checked her phone and nodded, as if confirming what Lin Lei said. She stood up, got dressed, went downstairs, and picked up the package.

I came back and placed all the express deliveries on the floor one by one. Just as I picked up the tools to open them, the video reminder on my phone rang.

Qi Yue glanced at her phone.

"Lin Lei?"

"Psycho." Qi Yue muttered.

When the video call sounded for the third time, Qi Yue answered the call impatiently: "What's going on?"

"Leader, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you."

"It's okay, hang up."

"No, no, boss, it's so hard for me to see you, please don't hang up on me."

"Why not just put it up like this?"

"Boss, I'm on a business trip. Today is my day off. I'll put on a show for you."

"The show, after two years of hard work, I've also developed new talents."

"I don't want to watch it." He said and was about to hang up.

"No, no, no, just leave your phone there. It won't bother you. Just point the camera at you. Just treat it as a show. It doesn't cost any money."

Qi Yue thought, "Time is quite valuable." But she still put the phone aside and faced herself and the numerous express boxes.

"You've bought a lot of things. Where are you? What did you buy?"

Qi Yue opened the package nonchalantly: "If you want to show it, hurry up. Your screen will go black after I finish opening it."

After listening to it, Lin Lei quickly picked up the guitar beside him and plucked the strings a few times.

"Leader, I'm just learning this and I don't know much, please don't laugh at me."

"nonsense."

It was at this time that Qi Yue understood why parents would give their children trial classes before enrolling them in interest classes. There must be a reason for the existence of every rule.

Just like that, under the sunlight by the window, one of us was unpacking the express slowly, and the other was playing the chords clumsily. You were silent and I was silent, letting time pass by little by little, feeling the breath of life and enjoying the beauty of the moment.

After opening the express delivery, Qi Yue looked up at the blue sky and felt that she had not been so sad in the past three years.

"You play well." He said, picking up the phone.

"Leader, you can't just listen for free. You have to pay for your performance."

"I'm not charging you any money, yet you still have the nerve to ask me for a tip."

"No, no, I wish I could pack up everything and go to you."

"Then, leader, can I ask you to promise me something?" Lin Lei added.

"You said that."

"That's not possible."

"That's right." After saying that, he glanced at the screen. The person in front of him seemed to have suffered a great injustice. Qi Yue finally couldn't bear it: "Are you very idle? If you want to talk to someone so much, you can talk to your wife. You're already married."

As soon as the words fell, Lin Lei said: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not married. You are spreading rumors. I can sue you."

Qi Yue never indulged Lin Lei: "Then go find your girlfriend, it's all the same anyway."

"Boss, I'm talking to you, but you're always rubbing salt into my wounds. No one talks to me except you now. I've become everyone's dislike."

"What kind of problem has he encountered? He hasn't even gotten married, and he's in such a mess that no one cares about him." Qi Yue wondered in her heart.

Seeing Qi Yue didn't say anything, "Please, Boss, since no one talks to me, please pay attention to me."

The words "No one talks to me except you" reminded Qiyue of the time they were pen pals, sharing their secrets and listening attentively to each other. After all, it was Lan Qiyue, the Qiyue who couldn't bear to be cruel to Lin Lei: "I'll try my best, but I can't guarantee it."

"You still have to be my leader, so you have to take care of me. So let's make a deal. No regrets this time."

Qi Yue nodded and hung up the video.

Is this the beginning again? This endless struggle.

Life is really a magical journey. If you don’t keep going, you will never know what will happen.

In the following two months, Lin Lei either reported on his work progress or talked about interesting things around him. Even Qi Yue suspected that Lin Lei had committed some unforgivable crime and was abandoned by his family and fiancée at the same time, resulting in the current situation of being abandoned by everyone. Similarly, he no longer mentioned any family-related issues.

Unverified questions are never facts, and the truth is that what you hear is never as good as what you see.

During the days of being assigned abroad, apart from working, I also study in a mechanized manner, proceeding step by step.

Ring Ring Ring

"Boss, what about studying again? We have a holiday next month, I'll come to see you."

"unnecessary."

"Look at you, I've been talking to you for nothing for over the past two months."

"Accompany me, it seems like I am accompanying you."

Lin Lei was still mumbling to himself when Qi Yue suddenly noticed the wedding candy sent by a colleague from the next office placed on the table. Qi Yue seemed to remember something and said to her phone inexplicably, "Lin Lei, did you get the marriage certificate?"

Sometimes, women's perception is really scary.

The person who was giving a speech probably didn't expect to be asked a question suddenly. He looked like he had been exposed and fell silent. Qi Yue was very familiar with Lin Lei's behavior.

I dare not say anything else, just talking about the issue of Lin Lei lying, Lan Qiyue would definitely find out. If she didn't find out, then it would only be a question worthy of suspicion from the beginning, and it would have been ruled out as an option from the very beginning.

The pain in her heart told Qi Yue to stay calm, stay calm, be extremely calm. All negative emotions would make the already peaceful state become anxious again. A man wouldn't be like that, but this man was Qi Yue's youth.

Lin Lei said guiltily into the silent receiver, "Leader, please listen to my explanation."

"Explain! You're telling me you need an explanation right now. Who gave you the guts to lie to me?"

"Leader, please believe me. I am not lying to you. I am not married. If you don't believe me, you can ask my classmates."

"Do you think your classmates are in the mood to listen to your explanation?"

"Boss, I really didn't lie to you. You didn't ask, so I didn't tell you. This doesn't count as lying to you."

"Then tell me, what is lying? Tell me about it." Qi Yue finally couldn't help but opened her mouth and asked this question.

Qi Yue didn't respond to any of the previous words. When she finally spoke, Lin Lei even spoke faster, fearing that Qi Yue would get angry and hang up the call.

"Really? Believe me, I wouldn't lie to you. I've gotten the marriage certificate, but we're not sure about getting married yet. The wedding is being planned, but you know I'm on a business trip right now. I've been perfunctory about the wedding. I really don't want to get married. I just want to find you. I want to see you."

"There's no need to meet. You've already given me a big surprise. I don't like chatting with married men. Your water is too muddy. I find it fishy."

It’s true. Qi Yue really feels uncomfortable with such unclear relationships. Moreover, Qi Yue never interferes in other people’s emotional lives, even if the person is someone Qi Yue cares about, because above the bottom line, there are principles.

"Leader, tell me where you are and I'll talk to you in person."

Qi Yue: "No need to say more, thank you for chatting with me recently, from now on, let's not bother each other."

Deleted again, disappeared again.

"Instead of lying, it's better to be honest and open. If it's known to everyone, maybe you can still be friends. If you're sneaky and deceitful, even if you're classmates, people will scorn you."

If it weren't for your youth, who would care who you are? Why, Lin Lei, are you standing in front of Lan Qiyue? Is it just because the sun was shining brightly that year?

Her heart was hurt once again. Why did Qi Yue feel tortured every time she trusted Lin Lei?

Maybe, it is because of not loving you that there will be hurt, and your feelings will be trampled on without any scruples.

"Qiyue, Qiyue."

The same route, the same song, the difference was that Qi Yue’s heart, which had been gradually warming up, was once again brought to the freezing point.

There are definitely more people who can affect your mood than just these.

Qi Yue had just sat down in the office and had not yet had time to turn on the computer when she heard a familiar voice.

"Qiyue, I just called you at the door, why didn't you pay attention to me?"

"Sorry, Chu Zhiyi, I was wearing headphones and didn't hear it."

"I'm here to pick up the work progress report. I'm going back to Yangbin this afternoon, so I'll bring it back directly."

"This time you're the one going back. Didn't the various departments always send people to get it before?"

"I'm going back to coordinate the work and bring it back with me. Doesn't that save costs? Good employees like me should be trained well by the company and entrusted with important tasks as soon as possible."

After Qi Yue handed over the documents, she said indifferently, "Congratulations."

"Qiyue, why do you look so bad? Are you sick?"

My chest ached and my heart ached. I didn't sleep all night. I was able to come to work only because of my willpower.

"No, maybe the work content has been complicated recently and it's urgent." Qi Yue said lightly.

"You must take good care of yourself. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."

Qi Yue looked at the sunny boy in front of her, with such a bright smile, and was distracted for a moment.

"I've known Chu Zhiyi for such a long time, but it seems like I've never really taken a good look at him."

"Qiyue, what's wrong with you?" Chu Zhiyi called out softly when he saw Qiyue looking dazed.

"No, be careful on the road."

In the following month, apart from work information, what I looked at the most was Lin Lei’s friend verification application.

Feelings are really hard to describe. You've already been sentenced to death, so why are you still struggling? Wouldn't it be better to just stop here?
