I want to try again
"Happy New Year, buddy."
"Happy New Year, Xiao Ziyi."
"One battle makes you great."
“I will succeed.”
For twenty-three consecutive years, it has been Xiao Ziyi at midnight every year. In this journey of life, it doesn’t matter if you have many friends, as long as you know them.
On the contrary, Lin Lei was surprisingly quiet on New Year's Day, which made Qi Yue feel a little uncomfortable.
The next day, Lin Lei sent a photo.
"This is a huge table full of dishes, what a feast." This was Qi Yue's most intuitive feeling after seeing the photo.
"Happy New Year, Leader."
"I accidentally drank too much yesterday, so the first thing I did when I woke up today was to share my New Year's Eve dinner with you. Not bad, right?"
"It's pretty good. This table is enough for ten people." Qi Yue thought to herself.
"Most of that was made by me. If you want to eat some, I'll make it for you."
"No, I don't deserve it." Qi Yue just replied with this.
Later, Lin Lei stopped sending WeChat messages repeatedly, and the distance between the two seemed to be clear again.
"Compared to last year, there are a lot more dishes and chopsticks."
Sometimes, art students don’t need to have such good observation skills.
Sometimes, you don’t need to listen to everything that is said.
Sometimes, not saying anything expresses everything.
The moment the truth is revealed, neither you nor I will be the winner.
Even though Qi Yue had many questions in her mind, she couldn't ask them out loud. After all, as Qi Yue said, "I'm not worthy."
Let's just stay where we are. Qiyue can't take a step forward, and she can't bear to take a step back.
"Qiyue, Happy New Year. For the rest of the year, we must work harder." Chu Zhiyi, who was sitting on the sofa, happily sent a WeChat message to Qiyue.
"This isn't work. Who are you trying to please by being so flattering?"
Qi Yue seriously suspected that Chu Zhiyi was still looking at the construction drawings at this time, otherwise how could he say such official words.
Just as Chu Zhiyi said, in one year, I will leave Mujin, the place that has been quiet for three years.
"Let's just live peacefully like this!" At this time, Qi Yue looked up at the sky.
In July, I returned to Mujin and looked at the familiar desktop and the paper-cut calendar that had been completely torn up.
"It's the last year, and we have to go back, but we can't go back."
News about Lin Lei is not so frequent now. Sometimes there is no news for a week.
"The answer is already very clear."
Chu Zhiyi rushed to Qiyue's desk and said, "Happy New Year, Qiyue! I sent you a message before, but you didn't reply."
Qi Yue smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I forgot."
"I don't think you forgot, you just don't reply to anyone's messages except during working hours."
Qi Yue listened to Chu Zhiyi's complaints without any explanation. After all, he was not wrong.
Chu Zhiyi continued to chatter and took out the candy in his pocket to share with Qiyue.
"Hey, I brought this especially for you. Enjoy it."
"Thanks, but I don't eat candy."
"Qiyue, would you like to try it? It's super delicious, I'm not kidding you."
"I know you didn't lie to me. I just don't like sweets."
"You're lying. Last time in the village, you even took candy out of your bag and gave it to the children."
"Isn't this the habit of early childhood art education?" Qi Yue muttered to herself.
"I'm hypoglycemic, just in case."
"Lan Qiyue, you have quite a few problems. You're either anemic or have low blood sugar. Who would want a daughter-in-law like you? You're such a hassle."
In the instant he turned his head, Chu Zhiyi saw the paper sculpture on Qi Yue's desk and picked it up to play with it.
Just when they were watching with great interest, Qi Yue seemed to see something and took the paper sculpture.
This paper sculpture is a calendar in the shape of the earth. It looks no different from a normal view, just a small globe, but when there is sunlight, you can vaguely see a few words through the bottom when you hold it in your hand.
Qi Yue was afraid of being seen by Chu Zhiyi, who had a lot of questions, so she looked at Chu Zhiyi unhappily and signaled that he could leave.
Chu Zhiyi didn't notice anything and wisely walked out of Qi Yue's office.
Qi Yue carefully placed the calendar plate, fearing that if she couldn't hold it, it would fall to the ground and break into pieces.
"You must be concerned about it, otherwise you wouldn't be so nervous about this little thing."
The next day, Qiyue came to the office early.
Looking at the candy box that Chu Zhiyi placed on the desk, Qi Yue always had a sense of déjà vu, but she was very sure that she had never seen it before.
It’s so magical. There are always some scenes in life that seem as if we have experienced them before when they appear. It’s incredible.
After seeing the words at the bottom of the paper-cut calendar yesterday, Qiyue brought the star paper she had bought before from home, as well as a particularly beautiful glass bottle.
"I want to keep track of time, too, but I use the stars to keep track of time. I want to see if our times will coincide again, and if the surprise you mentioned will come true."
What Qiyue didn’t know was that the time Lin Lei mentioned had expired and the “surprise” would not come again.
Naive people are often silly, cute, and annoying.
While thinking, Qi Yue folded a star, wrote the first sentence on it, and put it in the bottle.
The first star was placed in the bottle. Now there is only one, but it doesn’t matter. Qi Yue also put a coin in it that was left over from the time she and Lin Lei went to catch dolls.
"I want to trust you again." Qi Yue made a secret decision in her heart.
Just as Qi Yue was staring at the glass bottle in a daze, the message sound from her cell phone brought her thoughts back to the present moment.
"How is it, are the results out?"
"By the way, today is a very productive day."
"What should I do? I don't have the courage right now. Wait a minute, let me cheer myself up first."
If everything went smoothly, Lan Qiyue would not be lost in time.
The beginning of the New Year is supposed to be a new start, but unexpectedly, hope and disappointment always appear one after another.
Qi Yue failed the first postgraduate entrance examination, and a year's work was wasted.
Dudu
"I told you a long time ago that this is a hellish level of difficulty, but you didn't listen to me and insisted on going on it." Ayi said unwillingly.
"Don't I have a heart that is determined to become a lawyer? As a person, you must always work hard for what you want in your heart."
"I think you are actually stupid."
Looking at Ayi's conversation window, Qiyue felt very uncomfortable. When it comes to persistence, Qiyue is really stupid.
After ending the call with Ayi, Qiyue looked at Lin Lei’s chat window, but ultimately said nothing.
It's really tormenting when I'm alone at night.
At this moment, Qi Yue really missed her love to the extreme, but there was no one to listen.
"Sister, why did you choose this neighborhood?"
"Because it's called Jinshucheng."
The fragrance of the red lotus has faded, the jade mat is cold in autumn, I take off my silk dress and go up the orchid boat alone. Who sent the brocade letter from the clouds? When the wild geese return, the moon is full in the west building.
"I also have a letter expressing my longing for you, but I don't know where to send it."
If you are sad or upset, please digest it quietly and silently by yourself.
In one night, Qi Yue got herself ready and started another day of working like a slave.
Now whenever Qiyue misses someone, she will look at this star. It seems to have become a habit, just like Qiyue is used to the flickering of Lin Lei's window.
Qi Yue folded another star and wrote what she said to him today.
"I miss you a little bit, far away."
Coincidentally, Lin Lei appeared at the same time when the stars were folded.
"Boss, I've been really busy lately. I'm so exhausted. How are you? Have you eaten well?"
"It's better to be busy so you don't waste data."
"Boss, look at you. Talking to you is a waste. I'd love to have that."
"It doesn't matter. Just work hard, strive hard, and earn money to support your family."
Regarding the topic of "home" this time, Lin Lei did not respond, nor did he deny it.
"My work has been too chaotic recently, and I feel like the development isn't right for me, so I've been busy changing jobs."
"Then take your time to look around and find one that suits you and that you like."
Similarly, Lin Lei still did not respond to the topic of "liking", which is very different from him last year.
"How can you have such a comfortable life? You sit in the office every day. We salespeople have to meet all kinds of people and complain all the time."
It turns out that in Lin Lei’s eyes, Qiyue’s job is to “enjoy life”, so what does it matter if Qiyue “suffers” in places where you can’t see?
"Then do whatever you want. I support you unconditionally."
Maybe it has been too long since I saw Lin Lei’s news, so Qi Yue responded to this news very promptly, without too much "reply". She must have been looking forward to seeing the information in her heart.
After finishing the chat, Qiyue folded another star.
“Take a break when you’re tired. No one can stay on the road forever. Sometimes the origin is also the starting point.”
Love is like this, those involved are always confused while those on the sidelines can always see things clearly, and the parties involved are always dozing and refuse to wake up.
She was clearly still worried about failing the postgraduate entrance exam, and was still comforting Lin Lei about his troubles at work. It turns out that the person you fall in love with at first sight will still make you "fall in love" even after a long time.
Qi Yue compromised again.
After being depressed for a few days, Qi Yue sorted out all the books for her Master of Law and put them in a box. However, within two days, Qi Yue took the books out again.
At this time, the person on the other end of the phone was Xiao Ziyi's "disappointment in his ability".
"Why don't you listen to me again? Why do you keep banging your head against the wall like an idiot?"
"I want to try again. If it doesn't work this time, I'll admit it."
"Again, why not take the easy way out and insist on going your own way?"
"In life, you have to persist before you give up, right? I haven't seen the result yet, I have to wait a little longer. I have plenty of time now, and I also want to see what the end is like." Qi Yue looked at the new express delivery received today and said nothing.
It was a lipstick given by Lin Lei. 999 was still too red. Qi Yue didn’t like these cosmetics, but because it was a gift from Lin Lei, Qi Yue was still very happy.
After a few minutes of silence: "Ayi, can you give me another year?"
"I trust you."
As a close friend of Qi Yue for more than 20 years, he can only support her because he knows that Qi Yue’s decision is unchangeable.
"Thank you for your trust. I don't know how much longer I can hold on, but I want to try one more time and wait a little longer."
