Not Spare the Years

As long as Zhou Zhenyue can remember, her parents are the two portraits on the offering table.

Some people lack a father's love, some people lack a mother's love. She is not lacking, she has never had.

Grandpa is a serious person. He came out of the army and is especially strict with the juniors.

She didn't know that her grandfather actually loved her until she was an adult, because when she was a child, most of the time her grandfather was like a steel plate, with no expression or temperature. Some are just plans for her life engraved on the steel plate.

Zhou Zhenyue didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She had seen many people whose lives were unsatisfactory, and their faces were full of exhaustion and worry. But her life will never appear the word "unsatisfactory", and she will never worry about anything.

Money, power, and status have all been placed at the nodes of her life.

She is the only daughter, and there is no one to rob her.

uninteresting.

It was the word that came to her mind the most.

Maybe life is too boring. She clearly likes to draw and her painting skills are perfect, but she just can't draw an amazing work.

Artistic creation requires inspiration, and inspiration generally comes from large fluctuations in emotions.

Her life was smooth enough not to give her any chance for mood swings.

After taking over the company, Grandpa stepped down from the top and completely handed over the company to her.

She took it logically and followed the steps to start the next stage of her life, just like the program already written in the computer.

There are more and more people chasing her, both men and women.

The eyes of men looking at her are generally the desire to occupy and conquer, and the eyes of women are generally the desire to worship and want to depend on her.

Pursuing a woman in a high position is nothing more than these two points.

Desire of conquest and dependence.

until-

She met the only exception in her life.

At first, Zhou Zhenyue didn't notice her.

There are countless people who gave her flowers and gifts. When that person gave her a gift for the first time, she didn't even have a biased eye.

I just remembered that a yellowish yellow thing swayed past, and heard Xiao Ai scolding:

"Little girl, go away!"

The man walked away obediently, and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Zhou Zhenyue didn't take it to heart and continued her daily work.

Several days later, she discovered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office that there was an extra guard downstairs.

It looks familiar at first glance, but I can't remember where I've seen it.

"Who is that?" she asked Xiao Ai.

Xiao Ai hurriedly said, "I'm a student. I stay there every day and want to give you gifts. It should be because I want to pursue you."

Zhou Zhenyue took a sip of the coffee in her hand, "How many days have you been guarding?"

Xiao Ai: "Three days."

Zhou Zhenyue: "Just to give a gift?"

Xiaoai: "It should be."

Zhou Zhenyue didn't think too much, turned and sat back on the sofa, put the coffee cup back on the coffee table, and said, "Go and collect her gifts, let her go home, and tell her not to look at too much mess. Love novels, don't come again in the future."

Xiao Ai nodded, "Okay. Do I need to bring you a gift?"

Zhou Zhenyue: "...Throw the trash can."

Xiao Ai: "Yes."

A day later, after the meeting in the afternoon, Zhou Zhenyue habitually stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows to look at the scenery.

Eyes drooping, I saw the girl standing downstairs yesterday, kicking small stones on the side of the road with her head down.

Zhou Zhenyue called Xiao Ai and asked, "Didn't you tell her yesterday?"

Xiao Ai hurriedly said, "I said, I also threw away the gift, but she just came again."

Zhou Zhenyue did not speak.

Xiao Ai asked, "How about I call the security guard to catch up?"

Zhou Zhenyue: "Well."

After half a cup of coffee, two security guards went out from the gate and blocked the girl to warn.

Presumably the security guard's tone should be very unfriendly. The girl looked a little embarrassed, but she still smiled friendly and walked away.

Just walked away, didn't leave.

She was sitting on a bench under the shade of the tree, still holding a delicate gift box in her hand, her curly hair hanging down, covering her face.

"It's no longer within the scope of the Zhou family," Xiao Ai suggested. "How about I call the police and let the police handle it."

Zhou Zhenyue looked back and said lightly, "Forget it, let her go. Little girls are generally impatient and can't get a response, so they will leave in a few days."

Xiao Ai: "Yes."

What happened after that did not go according to Zhou Zhenyue's expectations.

That girl still came every day and looked very patient, even though she didn't even speak to Zhou Zhenyue for so long. Every day holding gifts or flowers, and love letters.

When Xiao Ai passed by, she would hand her gifts and love letters to Xiao Ai and ask the other party to help hand them over.

Of course, Xiao Ai threw it all into the trash as soon as she turned around.

Zhou Zhenyue sometimes wonders, does she know that her gifts are thrown into the trash every time?

If you know, the expression on his face probably won't be so light.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

That girl still comes every day. Occasionally, when Zhou Zhenyue passes by her side, she will say "Good morning" and "It's been hard get off work".

Zhou Zhenyue regarded her as a stone lion-like ornament at the gate, just a smart ornament that would automatically ask good morning and night.

I'm too lazy to care about her, and I feel troublesome even to drive her away.

Over time, slowly, she has become accustomed to treating her as air.

One day, the old man suddenly fell ill and was sent to the emergency room.

The doctor said that it was a sudden stroke, and his life and death were unknown, so he gave Zhou Zhenyue a critical illness notice.

When the executives in the company learned that the old man was critically ill, they were ready to act.

Zhou Zhenyue has only been in office for three years and has not yet been able to fully control the entire company's contacts. Everyone listened to her so much before because of the old man's face. As soon as the old man fell, the shareholders could not sit still.

The only relative is seriously ill, and the company is in jeopardy. Internal and external troubles, like a landslide overnight.

That was the most serious thing that Zhou Zhenyue had encountered since she was twenty-five years old. The road that she thought could no longer be smooth suddenly collapsed. It collapsed into an abyss.

Those days were simply the darkest days of her life.

Hopelessly waiting for grandpa to wake up, struggling to maintain the stability of the company, and almost exhausted all conceivable means to suppress the restlessness of all the staff.

That afternoon, she was so tired that she didn't let Xiao Ai or any of her subordinates follow her, and went downstairs to buy coffee by herself.

She didn't really want to drink coffee, she just wanted to be alone for a while.

Holding a coffee cup, sitting on the ground in a deserted alley, hugging your knees, only dare to release fragility in such a place.

What she didn't expect was that at this time, the girl walked slowly across the alley with a cup of iced milk tea.

It should have just bought milk tea and happened to pass by.

She glanced over casually, and when she saw Zhou Zhenyue sitting on the ground hugging her knees, her footsteps stopped.

Zhou Zhenyue looked at her without saying a word.

She thought that the girl would take this opportunity to come over, start a conversation with her, and comfort herself.

After all, this is a really good opportunity. Giving encouragement and support when a person is vulnerable can easily lead to a chaotic control of [norepinephrine] and [dopamine], creating a delusion similar to that of temptation.

She thought that if the girl did something like this "taking advantage of the emptiness", she probably wouldn't even treat her at the gate.

She feels that those who can be "taken advantage of" are all idiots, and "take advantage of the void" is even more shameless. She hates this shameless behavior.

But the girl just bit the straw and looked at her silently for two seconds.

Immediately, he walked away casually.

Zhou Zhenyue also looked away.

... did not come.

can also understand.

Such a girl, pursuing herself, originally wanted to find a strong man she could rely on. What she likes is the powerful and aloof Zhou family president, not the weak and weak squatting on the ground.

That's fine, she's disappointed with herself, and she shouldn't stay downstairs in the company anymore.

Zhou Zhenyue stood up and grabbed the coffee beside her.

As I walked through the alley, I threw a sip of coffee into the trash can.

When getting off work in the afternoon, Zhou Zhenyue casually asked Xiao Ai:

"Is the girl who has been at the door already gone?"

Xiaoai scratched her head: "No, I just saw that she was still standing there."

Zhou Zhenyue got up from the chair, walked to the window and looked down, sure enough, the man was still standing there.

She was silent for a while, and said, "Don't throw away her love letter tomorrow, bring it here."

If this doesn't go away, you should still be waiting for an opportunity to comfort yourself.

Maybe you think face-to-face is too direct in the afternoon? …Writing words of comfort in love letters is also a possibility.

The next day, Xiao Ai left the girl's love letter and sent it to Zhou Zhenyue's desk as soon as possible.

Zhou Zhenyue frowned when she picked up the envelope.

...so thick.

When she pulled out the stationery, she almost thought she was pulling out a workbook.

It took Zhou Zhenyue a full hour to read the love letter.

It's too watery. It's like a primary school student's running account diary. Everything is written on it.

However, I didn't find any words of comfort, nor did she mention that she saw her yesterday.

She was a little confused.

It was undeniable that she was a little curious about that girl.

That person... what was he thinking?

really weird.

This day after get off work, passing by the girl countless times, the girl said as usual: "It's hard to get off work."

For the first time, Zhou Zhenyue stopped and looked at her.

"have dinner together?"

Zhou Zhenyue asked blankly.

Although there was no expression on his face, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

This was the first time she took the initiative to ask a girl other than her work partner for dinner.

The girl tilted her head and chuckled, "Okay."

...Her expression didn't seem to be as excited as she had imagined.

It was obvious that I had waited for a month for a response. In my imagination, should the response be bigger?

Zhou Zhenyue became more curious about her.

She took the girl to a restaurant she frequented.

After ordering the meal, both of them were silent, as if they were both a little slow and rude in their characters.

"Yesterday afternoon..." Zhou Zhenyue said actively, "Have you seen me? In the alley."

The girl nodded: "I see."

Zhou Zhenyue: "Do you have anything to say?"

The girl smiled, "Am I going to say something?"

Zhou Zhenyue was speechless.

After a long while, she said indifferently: "It stands to reason that either you should take the opportunity to comfort me, or you should end your pursuit. In any case, it will not be like this, as if nothing has happened."

"Why can't it be like nothing happened?"

Under the candlelight, the girl's face had a gentle and beautiful outline, and a small braid on her temples swayed slightly.

"Everyone will be unhappy sometimes. It's normal to sit on the ground. I don't comfort you because we are not familiar with each other. I don't know if you are willing to chat with me, and I don't want to offend you. As for you saying the end The pursuit of you..."

"Why the end?" the girl said, shrugging her shoulders, "I won't think you're any different from before just because you sat on the ground for a while."

Zhou Zhenyue looked at the other party with a slightly startled look.

After a long time, she pursed her lips and asked:

"What's your name?"

The girl met her gaze and replied with a smile:

"My name is - Mu Xueyi."
