After watching a movie, Li Xiaoyun and I were walking on the road, holding a bucket of unfinished popcorn in her hand, and I was holding a can of Coke in my hand.

I was drinking Coke, Li Xiaoyun was eating popcorn, and the two of them were chatting while walking.

I asked Li Xiaoyun: "Do you say that if we work in the same company with our couple in the future, will it violate your company's system?"

Li Xiaoyun shook her head and said, "No, we are an advertising company, and our culture is relatively open. There are several couples in the company!"

I grabbed Li Xiaoyun who was walking forward. She looked at me in confusion. I asked with a "serious expression": "Xiaoyun, can I understand that we are already in a couple?"

Li Xiaoyun was stunned for a moment before saying, "Zhaoyang, did you ask that on purpose just now?"

"Yes, this matter cannot be said too directly. If you don't want to, I will have no way out."

"You are very well-organized in your work and are a good material for planning!" Li Xiaoyun said with a smile.

"You are very good at changing topics and are also a good material for doing business!" I also said with a smile.

Li Xiaoyun no longer had a joking expression. She asked seriously: "Zhaoyang, do you really think we can live together and get married?"

I was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "Yes, at least I am willing to work hard and struggle... and this desire to fight is something I have never lived in more than 20 years."

Li Xiaoyun nodded and said, "Actually, I'm very tired after dating for so long. I also hope to get rid of the single life. Your appearance surprised me, but if you fall in love with you just a few times, that's not practical... Since our parents all have the idea of ​​letting us be together, I am willing to treat our encounter as God's arrangement, so..."

"So, we can get along formally, right?"

Li Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Well...but it depends on your future performance. After all, what I want to entrust to my life."

"I deserve your life, it depends on my performance." I said with joy.

Li Xiaoyun nodded and we continued to walk forward. I held Li Xiaoyun's hand with a hint of uneasiness and expectation in the autumn evening with falling leaves, just like the simplicity of my first love.

Li Xiaoyun instinctively shrank his hand, but I held it tighter, so Li Xiaoyun looked at me uneasy, and I loosened my tight hands a little, giving her a comfortable and non-aggressive force. Li Xiaoyun's expression finally eased a little.

I smiled and said, "Walk forward and walk to the end of this street, maybe spring will bloom."

“Winter hasn’t passed yet?”

"Don't go straight to spring."

Li Xiaoyun gave me a smile and said, "Then let's go."

So we walked forward in the night along the street lights, which set our faces into a gentle yellowish one.

...

When he got home, Dad Ban and his mother were still sitting in the living room, watching a TV series.

I was changing my shoes, and my mother turned the sound of the TV and asked me, "Zhaoyang, how are you and Xiao Yun together?"

I smiled and said, "It's not bad."

My mother was very happy to hear what I said, "That's good. Xiao Yun's family is really good and reasonable. You have to get along well with Xiao Yun, do you know?"

"Absolutely, mom, don't worry."

After I finished talking to my mother, I watched the Binban Dad again, but his attention was always on the TV series. He didn't stop me and asked, "Have your work done?"

"I'm looking for it, but Xiao Yun said that their advertising company is recruiting plans and has helped me give my resume to their planning director. There should be news soon."

Daddy Ban nodded and said, "Men must take their work to heart."

"Dad Ban, I will take it to my heart."

"Don't say it, just remember it in your heart."

I smiled, indicating that I had put his words in my heart, and then walked to my room.

I felt a little joy this night. Everything that happened at the moment made me feel that returning to Xuzhou was the right choice. Everything went so smoothly. When I put the work into practice, I would be truly at ease. This feeling of fulfillment and expectation for the future was never in Suzhou.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, I went to the bathroom to wash, lay on the bed again, and soon entered sleep.

...

I don’t know what time it was, but my phone that forgot to mute suddenly rang. I was woken up by the ringtone and complained before answering the phone.

I vaguely "heat" and waited for the other party to speak.

"Zhaoyang, have you rested?"

I suddenly felt awake, and this sound surprised me very much. In just one sentence, I heard it was Mi Cai’s voice.

I wiped my face and sat up from the bed, turned on the light and looked at the clock hanging on the wall that was already 12:30 at night.

I yawned again and asked Mi Cai, "Didn't you rest yet?"

"I just got off work."

"It's time for this, you've just gotten off work!" I sighed, but I felt an inexplicable feeling in my heart. This feeling may be due to sympathy for Mi Cai to live alone.

"The company is a little busy lately, and it should be better in a while." Mi Cai said to me in a plain tone.

I was silent for a while and said, "Then you should pay attention to your health, especially in terms of diet. You can cook some millet porridge, which is very at ease."

"Thank you for your concern."

"Don't say thank you, it feels awkward!"

Mi Cai smiled but didn't say anything. Maybe she realized that it was really awkward to say "thank you" when she was an enemy.

After a brief silence, I finally got back to the point and asked, "Is there anything wrong with calling me so late?"

"The light bulb in my room seems to be broken, I won't change it!" Micai said to me with a little embarrassed.

"It's already so late, why don't you use the desk lamp to make do with the night."

Mi Cai said even more awkwardly: "The lamp of the desk lamp was broken a few days ago, and I haven't remembered to change it recently."

I was speechless for a while and said for a while: "Okay, changing the light bulb is very easy, but you have to pay attention to safety."

"Well, you said, I'll do it."

"There is a storage box in the east corner of the balcony, which contains a light bulb and an emergency flashlight. There is a double-sided ladder next to the storage box. You can climb up the ladder and change it. Remove the lamp first, and then the light bulb is screwed, just twist it in like twisting a screw."

"oh."

"Wait, you can cut off the power first and be safer."

"good."

Mi Cai seemed to have everything ready, but I was nervous, afraid that she would accidentally fall off the ladder, and kept asking on the phone, but she did not respond. It was probably because she did not turn on the amplifier after putting down the phone.

In a state of trepidation, Mi Cai's voice of relief finally rang in my ears again: "It's done, the light is on."

My heart that was hanging for a moment finally fell down, and I immediately said, "Then you go to rest earlier, it's really getting late!"

"Well, I'll take a break right away... By the way, how are you looking for a job?"

Mi Cai's sudden concern made my mood complicated. After thinking for a while, she decided to tell her that I had a good life in Xuzhou so that she would not have to feel too guilty for me.
