Nowadays, many of my friends around me are unemployed. Some have never passed the age of 35, and some, like Lin Feifei, have poor profits and need to optimize internally.
She was suddenly laid off, just like her life suddenly pressed the pause button. Lin Feifei sent in resumes that made everyone feel numb, but there was no news from them. Within a few days, she lost weight, became pale, and had dull eyes.
She looks calm every day, but behind the calm she looks like a pool of stagnant water.
Seeing that Valentine's Day is approaching, I plan to give her a surprise, but I haven't decided what to give her yet. I searched online for a long time and decided to give her a necklace.
Lin Feifei's collarbone is very beautiful, very suitable for wearing necklaces.
Her collarbones are clear, fair and delicate, with a hint of sexiness.
I know nothing about necklaces, bags, etc. When a man goes to a jewelry store by himself, he is no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Before I went there, I hooked up with Zhou Shutong. With her in charge, I felt more at ease. .
Zhou Shutong had a day off today. After I got off work, I made an appointment to meet her at the coffee shop downstairs of our company.
I came to the coffee shop and spotted her sitting by the window.
There's no way around it, she has such a good temperament that it's hard not to be noticed.
She looked at the bustling crowd outside the window. Her long hair was scattered on her shoulders, looking natural and elegant. Her slightly lowered eyes made the outline of her face more distinct.
I ran over in a hurry and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you so much."
Zhou Shutong handed me a cup of hot chocolate and smiled: "It's okay. I have nothing to do during my break anyway. Let's have a cup of coffee first."
I thanked him, chatted briefly, and the two of us walked out of the coffee shop side by side.
The jewelry store is not far from our company, and it only takes about ten minutes to walk. On the way, Zhou Shutong heard that Lin Feifei was unemployed. He was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask me about her situation: "How is Feifei's condition recently?"
I gave a forced smile and sighed: "I forgot all about food and sleep."
"Are you playing with your phone?" Zhou Shutong looked at me innocently.
I smiled and said, "If you break up these four words: waste, sleep, forget, and eat, that's her current state."
Zhou Shutong chuckled, "You are too ungrateful to harm your girlfriend like this."
I sighed, "It's true. She's quite decadent right now, a little anxious and has self-doubt, so I wanted to take advantage of Valentine's Day to give her a gift to make her happy."
A trace of envy flashed across her sweet expression, "Yes, you are a very good boyfriend."
I was a little embarrassed by her compliments and could only giggle.
When I came to a jewelry store for the first time, I was a little at a loss. I felt like my eyes were not full. I wanted to buy everything I looked at, but when I saw the price, I was almost discouraged.
A young girl in a black suit came over and greeted me politely. She glanced at Zhou Shutong, a bright light flashed in her eyes, and said to me with a smile: "Sir, your girlfriend is so beautiful."
I felt a little embarrassed immediately. Zhou Shutong's face was unconsciously stained with a faint blush, and he smiled bitterly and explained that she was not my girlfriend.
Zhou Shutong picked up a thin chain with a star-like diamond inlaid on it, "How about this one? It suits you."
I picked it up and took a look and thought it was very beautiful. I couldn't help but say, "Do you think the color of this necklace is particularly dark and mysterious like me?"
"Because this is the cheapest." Zhou Shutong rolled his eyes.
"..."
After all, I still trust Zhou Shutong's vision. I fell in love with the necklace she chose at a glance, and I couldn't help but look forward to seeing it worn around Lin Feifei's neck.
This necklace cost me more than 5,000 oceans, which is considered a "huge sum" of money to me, but it was worth it for a beautiful smile.
After buying the necklace, I treated Zhou Shutong to a meal. The two of us sat in a restaurant in Sanlitun. She took off her coat and was wearing a gray sweater underneath, looking mature and capable.
Zhou Shutong flipped through the menu and said with a smile: "I have to have a good time today."
I'll kill you! "
She said this, but she was still merciful when ordering. She only ordered three symbolic dishes. She also told me: "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day. Don't forget to buy a bouquet of flowers. Don't buy bright red ones." , it’s too vulgar, you can buy a pink one with a little bear inside.”
My mood suddenly became complicated. I felt that this was a bit cruel to her, as if I was basing my happiness on her pain. The good mood I felt after buying the gift suddenly disappeared.
Zhou Shutong saw that I suddenly fell silent and looked at me suspiciously, "What are you thinking about? Why do I feel that you are not happy?"
I forced a smile and said, "No, I just feel a little guilty that you gave me all kinds of advice."
Zhou Shutong smiled disapprovingly, "I thought something was wrong. Didn't we already make it clear that we are good friends! I don't want to talk about love now, I just want to make money."
I had mixed feelings in my heart and said with emotion: "When will I be as free and easy as you? For so many years, I have not been able to make any money. Maybe it is because women affect the speed of drawing my sword."
"So are you ready..."
"I'm going to throw away the knife, I just want women."
"Hahaha...get out!"
After chatting with Zhou Shutong for a while, I felt that my recent depression had been cured. She was very kind to me, but never made things difficult for me. She gave without asking for anything. Having a group of friends is not as good as having someone who understands you.
To her, I feel grateful that I have been blessed, but also a little regretful, because some people are destined to only be friends.
The next day, Valentine's Day finally arrived.
It seems that the entire city is enveloped in a romantic atmosphere. Red heart-shaped balloons are piled at the entrances of shops on both sides of the street, adding a touch of warmth to this cold city.
Workers like us are not eligible to take leave. Spending Valentine's Day with Lin Feifei is like squeezing out toothpaste, so we can only give her the time after nine o'clock in the evening.
I asked someone to reserve a booth at the hotel where we first met, and then made an appointment with Lin Feifei to meet at the bar. Read the book
Our normal live broadcast time should be until ten o'clock in the evening, but according to experience, hotel and catering business is often very hot during this kind of festival. Everyone has been to the festival, and most of them are singles who can stay in the live broadcast room, so tonight we Download one hour in advance.
There were really not many people watching the live broadcast tonight. After three hours of shouting, we only sold a few thousand yuan, so when the auspicious hour came at nine o'clock in the evening, I set the clock on time.
Gigi Bai asked me with a smile, "Where can we go romantically tonight?"
I smiled and said, "Just find a bar and have a drink."
Gong Qi Bai's full lips slightly raised, her charm rippling, "Well, it's time to spend time with her. She just lost her job, and this is the time when she needs comfort the most."
