Something's wrong, they're not NPCs?

Chapter 383 Should we break up?

2 month 19 day.

early.

The temperature dropped suddenly, and Su Ming just opened his eyes to see that the windows were full of fog.

"..."

I wanted to start the car first to warm up the engine, but it wouldn't start no matter what I did.

At least Su Ming bought this second-hand car for 5 yuan six years ago, and it has had no problems more than ten times so far, so he has no way of complaining.

While brushing my teeth and washing my face, I habitually take out my mobile phone... I used to watch short videos and news, but now I just reply to my girlfriend's messages.

"Buzz."

The phone vibrated almost non-stop.

how to say?

Looking at the car outside that couldn't start, Su Ming was a little dazed.

I am bargaining in the second-hand market, feeling that I have made much more money than buying a new car... and on the other side of the mobile phone screen, An Shiyao may be spending ten thousand yuan as if it were just one dollar.

She is about to turn 20 and I am about to turn 24.

[I saw the weather forecast. Is the temperature going to drop in the winter market? ]

【Please wear more clothes. 】

【…】

Staring at the new message on his phone, Su Ming spat out the mouthwash.

Is it too early to retreat because of reality now?

No matter what, let's try our best.

Rather than compromising with reality, perhaps I am more inclined to idealism.

2 month 19 day.

It's just a small episode.

Su Ming wasn't suddenly interested in leggings. He just felt that a woman who was sharing a car with him and playing with her phone was inexplicably attractive.

The face is pretty, or maybe the makeup is too thick and too distorted.

Pure white hair. The clothes she is wearing look like some kind of dress. Is this cosplay?
"..."

The woman glanced over, as if she was disgusted by being stared at. She turned around and faced Su Ming sideways.

"Feel sorry……"

Although he apologized quietly, Su Ming couldn't help but take one more look.

She was wearing khaki-colored snow boots and pure white leggings with socks.

The whole body is mainly white.

It's not that I'm lustful or have any weird interests... I just simply feel like I've seen the same outfit somewhere before.

"Buzz."

There is new message on the phone.

[When will we meet again? I always feel like it’s over without us even meeting. ]

【…】

【miss you. 】

Before Su Ming could reply, three or four messages came in succession.

He also withdrew his gaze from the snow boots and white socks, and started replying to his girlfriend's message while biting a piece of bread.

[Hey, I want to buy a new pair of snow boots. ]

[I need to buy new leggings too. I don’t think I’ve worn beige and white leggings very often…]

【…】

For a moment, Su Ming wondered if his girlfriend had installed surveillance cameras in the subway. But then he thought, is it just a coincidence?
[What do you think of me wearing snow boots? It doesn't look too tacky, does it? ]

【…】

After all, she just wanted to buy something and ask for her opinion.

Should I send her off?
The taxi stopped and Su Ming searched on his phone.

[Marthaism 2020 new warm fleece...]

There are a lot of weighted words in front, and the price is 194.

He wanted to switch to price filtering, but Su Ming paused again and sighed unconsciously.

Even if it was a pair of shoes worth 200 yuan, he believed An Shiyao would accept it... but he couldn't give it to her. Or he would wonder if An Shiyao would wear the shoes and be asked about it by people in the circle.

So, what’s the right price?

800?

Or, 8000?

After turning off his phone, Su Ming stood in front of the time clock and forced a smile.

【Su Ming from the Marketing Department, welcome. 】

"..."

Although my girlfriend doesn't care about her birth, it's true... people have all kinds of concerns, especially at my age who is neither young nor old.

Normally, no man wants his woman to be embarrassed because of him.

2 month 19 day.

Marketing department office.

"Master, you have changed."

"I didn't touch any fish."

"..."

The apprentice had been in for at least ten minutes, but Su Ming didn't notice at all. His attention was completely focused on the document.

Just after the Chinese New Year, at least the hardware industry in the winter market is not very prosperous. Sales are low.

How to create demand for customers?

Su Ming has been thinking about this matter.

Let’s not even talk about starting a company with a market value of 10 million from scratch. If you accumulate your first pot of gold too slowly, you won’t even be able to get a value of 10 million, let alone 10 million.

What have you been doing all these years?
I clearly remember that I worked very hard a few years ago and was the top seller... Why did I give up later? Was it just because I was bullied for a while? Why did I work so hard before that?

I can't remember, and I don't have time to recall.

I just know that if I do nothing now and just daydream... the ending with my girlfriend will not be good. And I will never be respected by others.

2 month 20 day.

Kyoto.

I can not sleep.

It was clear that he was not staring at the woman in snow boots because he was shy. The short girl in the live broadcast room was fired by me on the second day after she was admitted.

I definitely won’t remember it.

I should also be aware of this... it's just a little bit of residue. It will disappear completely as time goes by and as I get along with you.

Stare at the surveillance.

Checking the employee clock-in records, it is almost 20 p.m. and Mr. Su Ming has not yet left work.

Then... I opened another surveillance video that only I knew about and had the permission to view.

what.

I couldn't help but be intoxicated by the face of the man bent over the desk, staring at the computer and operating the keyboard with full concentration.

I know very well that the original Mr. Su Ming would never be so motivated.

All for me.

No.

I couldn't bear it and didn't want to think about him being attracted to the taxi...

White silk gets dirty easily.

Especially the toes and heels, they turn into strange colors when they sweat a little. I don't like it.

But…I don’t want him to be attracted to other women anymore.

2 month 20 day.

Night.

Su Ming stretched out his body, and his whole body was crackling.

It should be fine, the plans from now until the beginning of March have been sorted out. I have personally commented on and made suggestions for all of them.

It is definitely easier to get a job as a director than as an ordinary employee. There is no such thing as paying for toilet breaks and being timed... Now, the company's top executives more or less know that he has a good relationship with An Shiyao. Alas, in the final analysis, he still relies on his girlfriend.

Therefore, I can't just give up and embarrass myself in this company. I have to produce results.

2 month 20 day.

early morning.

After taking a shower, Su Ming didn't have time to eat.

I just made a bucket of Laotan tea and turned on the computer to study theoretical knowledge.

It is definitely not enough to just have the first pot of gold. You have to know where to start after getting the money. I once wanted to do... no, what suits me best. I have dabbled in the furniture industry.

2 month 20 day.

One o'clock.

For Su Ming, it was too sudden. He was totally unprepared.

"Dong dong."

When the door was knocked, I never thought it was An Shiyao. I just thought it might be the landlord, or a neighbor or something. Because I was disturbed by the sound of typing on the keyboard or watching videos.

"Hey, you didn't expect it to be me?"

"..."

Being hugged tightly by a somewhat cold figure.

Then, the instant noodles on the table that had been half melted into a lump and even the red oil had become lumps because she forgot to eat them. Half a jar of cigarette butts of varying lengths. All of them caught her eye.

"Smoking so much again?"

The face puffed up in dissatisfaction.

"And eat instant noodles."

2 month 20 day.

Two o'clock in the morning.

"That's right, I don't have to go to college tomorrow. They're all electives."

"I'm here already? Are you unhappy?"

"..."

Curled up together on the small bed, in the dim light, Su Ming was still staring at the desk in the corner. He couldn't see clearly.

But the ashtray and instant noodles were disposed of.

Not unhappy either.

Who doesn’t want to have a sweet, soft and clingy girlfriend in his arms on a cold night?

But she never expected to be seen in such a mess... a side that was so incompatible with her life.

Somewhat skeptical.

Will my girlfriend, who insists on being hugged by me, also consider the future like I do?

"Hey, can you not go to work tomorrow? It's so late."

"It's okay for just one day, right?"

"..."

The hand that had been warmed in the quilt slid to Su Ming's ribs and rubbed them.

She is really beautiful.

The snow boots I was talking about yesterday have already been bought without having to send them. I also bought white socks.

Although she is younger than me, both in age and experience, her body already possesses a very mature charm.

"why do not you talk?"

"You don't want to accompany me? But... I flew here right away because I missed you."

"..."

wrong.

can not be like this.

"what."

As soon as he turned over, he leaned on his hands above her. His face turned away, slightly reddened, and his eyelashes trembled as his eyes closed.

The perfume on her body is very light, but just the right amount of charming.

After taking off the thick down jacket, her body curves are clearly visible.

If she stretched out her hand, she could push the cardigan down to her collarbone... and see the circular black lace edge.

kiss.

The lips are also very soft.

In just half a minute, she had already reached out and hugged his neck.

Disturbed breathing.

"Here... don't bully others too much. People next door will hear it. It's embarrassing..."

"..."

It was completely different from the reaction that was getting stronger and stronger because of her body, voice, expression.

Su Ming has a strong sense of inferiority.

Why should she think about the future?

There is no shortage of money, nor of future.

It's just that she lacks it. It's normal that she doesn't care about the 1000 million yuan military order. It's not that difficult for her. She was born with it, and she can get it by being spoiled.

"Don't do this next time." Su Ming said.

"Eh?"

"I have to go to work."

"..."

The face froze.

“I mean, I have to work on it.”

"But...well."

I didn't want to continue the conversation on this topic, so I chose to shut her up.

It was basically an attempt to avoid the topic by saying that I was doing this with her.

Can't have a deep conversation.

How to talk?
Discuss with your girlfriend a goal that she has been able to achieve since she was born?
only myself.

I can only rely on myself. I want to graduate from that company as soon as possible and start pursuing my own goals.

2 month 21 day.

This was the first time Su Ming had this feeling.

"..."

Ok.

I just feel annoyed.

“Which one looks better?”

My girlfriend was holding two pieces of clothing and gesturing.

"They all look good."

"Be more serious~"

"It's mainly because they are beautiful, so I'm not kidding when I say they are all good-looking."

"Hmph... I have no motivation to choose ordinary clothes, so..."

She whispered in Su Ming's ear, "You choose the underwear."

"..."

Originally, I was going to see the feedback from the marketing staff on my comments at the company today. I could also look at the conversion rate and think about how to improve it.

Now my mind is full of what my girlfriend is talking about underwear.

"You can't even look at it! I won't wear something like this...ah, why are you really picking? And you're staring at something so sexy."

"..."

In fact, Su Ming was distracted.

2 month 22 day.

noon.

Back pain again.

I was just brushing my teeth, but suddenly my girlfriend hugged me from behind.

2 month 22 day.

in the afternoon.

[Minister Su, can you come directly to the company? ]

[Today's conversion rate is horribly low... I suspect that some of our peers are competing with us for the same product. The source of goods is not good, we need to change it.]

"..."

My girlfriend was still beside me, pouting.

"Do you have to go?"

"must."

"Then, another kiss?"

"..."

I had clearly been enduring a kiss that lasted several minutes longer than expected.

Why did her hands still explore?
"I have business."

Su Ming took a deep breath and spoke what he thought was a very serious speech.

"I am also busy, right?"

But she didn't take it seriously at all.

"I'm not kidding. You can think without thinking, but I can't. I'm..."

When he lost his temper and stood up and said it in a scolding tone, and saw the frozen face, Su Ming realized that he had lost his composure and talked about a topic that he shouldn't have talked about.

"That's it. I'll go to the company first."

I want to explain, but I don't know where to start.

Forget it.

Let’s go first and talk about it later.

2 month 22 day.

in the afternoon.

I still stayed in the house.

I picked up the torn white silk and my underwear... and Mr. Su Ming's as well.

"……Why?"

I don't see anything wrong with it.

What went wrong?
It’s true that Mr. Su Ming definitely likes me.

I came to see him suddenly, maybe because I saw my slovenly side and I felt embarrassed. Or maybe I felt inferior. I knew all that.

So, when I go out, I never go to expensive places, nor do I show off my class difference... I don't have that kind of problem. I always cherish the small gifts he gives me and put them on immediately.

I wasn't pretending, I was really happy. Whether it was the hairpin or she put it on for me personally.

What's wrong?

Obviously, in my memory, Mr. Su Ming would not be shaken by these things. He said that he worked hard before because of his sister, but after his sister went to college, she was too lazy to work hard for various reasons. He also said that if it really didn't work out, he would have to rely on himself to support her.

Why is it completely different?

Just because of the missing sister?

Can I conjure up a sister for him?

No.

There must be another way. I don't want to add another unstable factor. I know...his relationship with his sister is no worse than mine in another sense. On the contrary, among all people, he might be the one who could cause the current situation to go wrong.

2 month 22 day.

Night.

Su Ming was walking on his way home, and he unconsciously took out his third cigarette.

"Cough cough..."

My throat is too sore and I can't help coughing.

I should have gone back a long time ago. I also bought fried chicken, milk tea and other things in advance.

But now that it's cold, I didn't go back, and I'm still wandering around the apartment that An Shiyao rented. I haven't received any messages on my phone yet.

Is that really ugly?
I came to Dongshi to find myself happily, but I heard myself say, "I am different from you, I need to work hard." Probably, it was quite disappointing.

But at the root of it, this is the fact.

I am not the protagonist in a fairy tale. Even if I work hard enough as a minister, it does not mean that I can easily decide the market direction and capital competition.

Originally, as the department director, he should have been the one to be scolded, but instead, it was the deputy general manager who had more authority than him who was scolded.

What other reasons could there be?
Aren't you all guessing what your relationship with Mr. Xiao An is like now?

Looking at the plastic bag in my hand, Tian Er Ding, a portion of fried chicken for 25 yuan, a cup of mango sago for 18 yuan, it is considered a high consumption for me. At least, it is definitely not something I can drink every day.

However, for a girlfriend, this may be the real 'junk food', which is not only unhealthy but also cheap.

2 month 22 day.

late at night.

The phone rang several times.

When Su Ming returned to the apartment, the fragrant figure was already in his arms.

"where have you been?"

There was a hint of tears in her words, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean it."

Her body was also trembling slightly.

"It's not your problem, it's mine. I'm the one who should apologize. Sorry."

"No, it's my fault... I was only thinking about seeing you and completely ignored your thoughts. Can you... forgive me?"

"..."

Seeing her girlfriend's red eyes, she carefully took the small box from the coffee table, "Scarf... for you. And, um... I've bought the plane ticket and will be back tomorrow morning."

"Consider it my punishment! One day less."

"And... that very bitter underwear, I, I bought it back."

"..."

Su Ming could sense her nervousness and spoke cautiously.

In fact, she said last time that she was afraid that I didn’t want her and she had this feeling.

She seemed to really, really like herself.

An incredible attitude.

"I promise, there won't be a next time! I'll come to help you when I graduate. No... I'll also help you figure out how to start a business."

"..."

Very good. Well, dazzlingly good.

This gave Su Ming an idea.

Would it be better to just give up now? No delay.

What has happened to me that deserves her to do this?
"Shall I go change? Secretly...don't turn on the light!"

The more she did this, the stronger the thought became.

You really spent a lot of money, right?

Please yourself.

Even this kind of cool underwear, front-button, with a zipper that can peek at Keli...

So, should I redouble my efforts from now on, or should I just give up as the thoughts become more and more real and realistic as I touch her and hear her voice?

2 month 23 day.

I went back as promised and took a plane back to Kyoto.

No one in the university would ask me about it, not my supervisor or professor.

As for home.

"Yaoyao, did you go to see him again?"

"It has nothing to do with you."

"He will definitely come here anyway, just take it over."

"That's not right. That's completely different from reality."

"This is not reality, I am just your creation..."

"Shut up!"

I looked at my father angrily. He looked at me too.

"Yaoyao, you disappoint me more and more... You actually hang out with this kind of person. You even live with him."

"..."

I don't want to hear either.

Yes.

So what if they are all fake? I don’t care.

It is right for Mr. Su Ming to behave differently. If everything is the same as if he has not forgotten everything, that would be wrong.

Thinking.

It must be right. I said that and wrapped the scarf around Mr. Su Ming’s neck. I also apologized and really planned to start a business here according to his idea. A business that will definitely succeed. That would be perfect.

1000w? Not enough. million will do.

Really. I just changed my underwear and I was too lazy to take it off... My arms would get tight.

But not annoying either.

So happy that he was attracted to me.

What does it matter? Originally, this would only be a convenient world serving Mr. Su Ming and me.

The socks I left there, will you think of me when you see...?
Ok.

I'm not satisfied at all, even though I know I can't be so clingy anymore in order to apologize. But even an angry Mr. Su Ming is handsome.

In the memory of my other self, I don’t think I’ve ever seen Mr. Su Ming get angry?
This is the different, increasingly real world. Our reality.

How could there be such a perfect man in the world who meets all my preferences?
Too lucky and happy.

I pulled out my phone and switched to his picture.

"For you, I can endure it... Yeah."

"When you succeed in your business, don't be scared by my impatience. Um... I had no interest in this kind of thing in the first place, and it's all because of you."

"You'll be responsible, right?"

"..."

The phone screen soon became blurry and unreadable.
