I heard that the moonlight found the ocean

Chapter 13 Sweetness
"Honey, Honey, I have to say sorry to you, I don't always have time to accompany you..." Su Mei's phone rang, and it was Liang Yi's exclusive ringtone.

As soon as the phone was picked up, Liang Yi ordered on the other end: "I've been paid, you can accompany me to buy clothes this weekend."

Because of her busy work, Liang Yi asked her out several times, but she turned her down.This time the work in hand was almost finished, so she replied with a smile: "Okay, okay, okay."

On the weekend, the sun also gave me a special face. The sky that had been gloomy for a long time finally showed the sun's smiling face.Su Mei was wearing a croissant coat, short boots, and a pink hat that day, making her look very youthful.

Liang Yi saw her and made fun of her: "Did you get lucky if you are dressed so beautifully?"

Su Mei chased after her and beat her, and the two of them ran to the women's clothing department in a row.When Liang Yi went to try on the clothes, Su Mei fiddled with the clothes hangers one by one with her fingers boredly, she didn't intend to buy them.The waitresses in the women's clothing department don't like customers like her the most, and one waitress even stepped forward arrogantly: "Miss, don't touch if you don't buy it."

Just as Su Mei was about to get angry, a woman dressed more formally came over: "Is this your usual service attitude?"

"Manager." The waiter who got angry at Su Mei suddenly lost his temper, lowered his head, and remained motionless.

It deserves it, Su Mei felt secretly refreshed, the manager came over and politely smiled at Su Mei: "This customer, I'm sorry."

Seeing the other party apologizing, Su Mei waved her hands again and again, but suddenly the other party changed her voice and patted her on the shoulder excitedly: "Su Mei, you are Su Mei."

Only then did Su Mei start to size up the other party. She hadn't looked at him closely before, but when she saw this, she also jumped up: "Zhou Xiaochen, it's you, what a coincidence."

The two of them ignored the waiter who made a mistake and almost hugged each other.Since graduating from high school, Su Mei seldom met her old classmates. This time she was very excited to see Zhou Xiaochen, and the two of them started chatting.Liang Yi came out of the fitting room, startled by the sight.Zhou Xiaochen used his connections to get Liang Yi a very low discount, and Liang Yi was so grateful that he insisted on treating Zhou Xiaochen to dinner.

She and Su Mei were waiting for Zhou Xiaochen at the coffee shop in the shopping mall. Liang Yi said with emotion: "You still laughed at her as a cow at that time. Look at how nice she is." At the end, she suddenly remembered something and looked at Su fixedly. Mei, "After your family had an accident, she visited you, but you had already moved."

Hearing what Liang Yi said, Su Mei smiled embarrassedly: "At that time, I was young and didn't know how to swear, and always wanted to pick on the other party's shortcomings, but Zhou Xiaochen was lively and generous and a class leader, so he was perfect. I There is really no way to pick her big breasts."

Hearing her mention the past, Liang Yi laughed and said, "Now you admit that you were small-minded back then, don't you?"

Su Mei was noncommittal.

After the two finished their coffee, Zhou Xiaochen happened to be off work.The three of them found a Chinese restaurant with an elegant environment for dinner. During the meal and chat, the three of them talked about the past. Zhou Xiaochen didn't know Su Mei's heart knot these years, so he mentioned Lu Haiyang: "Su Mei, you have Lu Haiyang's relationship these years." news?"

Su Mei's eyes dimmed and she shook her head.

"I asked almost all my classmates, but no one had any news about him."

As a best friend, Liang Yi knew that Lu Haiyang was Su Mei's heart disease, so she changed the subject with a playful smile: "The food here tastes good."

The three of them stopped mentioning Lu Haiyang, and continued to eat, drink and chat, but apart from Liang Yi, Su Mei and Zhou Xiaochen seemed to talk very little.

After parting from Su Mei and the others, Zhou Xiaochen returned to the hut he rented.Although she found a decent job after graduating from university, she never moved and lived in this somewhat damp house.She walked into the room, turned on the light, and then took the packed food into the next hut. The women in the room were very quiet.

Zhou Xiaochen opened the lunch box: "I met Su Yuan'an's daughter today, and she seems to be living a good life. Fate always favors certain people in this way. She is obviously homeless and has lost her relatives, so how can she live so carefree."

The woman didn't move, Zhou Xiaochen picked out a mouthful of rice and fed it to her mouth: "You must be bored after staying for a week, I'll push you to bask in the sun tomorrow."

After feeding, Zhou Xiaochen changed the woman's clothes, washed her hair and bathed her, then put her on the bed to sleep well, and then took a bath and washed clothes by herself. It was past ten o'clock in the evening after all this work. Only time to rest.She turned on the old-fashioned color TV in the living room. She tuned the TV with her hands, and suddenly stopped.

At this time, the advertisement of Vanke's concept mobile phone was playing on the TV. The boy in it was holding the mobile phone, walking slowly from a distance, and then it was frozen on the screen.Looking at the frozen picture, Zhou Xiaochen's heart was beating violently. It was really, really like that Lu Haiyang who extended a helping hand to her in the bicycle shed, really like that Lu Haiyang who picked starfish for her in the sea.But Lu Haiyang is a sentimental and aloof guy. Could it be the man in the ad who looks youthful and smiles like a goldfish in his eyes?Zhou Xiaochen must have made a mistake, so Zhou Xiaochen quietly turned off the TV.

I don't know if it's because of meeting old friends or because of the TV. That night, Zhou Xiaochen kept dreaming. The past was like a movie rewinding, and scenes appeared in her mind.

She saw Lu Haiyang pulling out the starfish for her, she saw Su Mei laughing at her big breasts, she saw herself standing in front of the cold storage where Lu Haiyang worked, and kindly said to Lu Haiyang, "Let me help you organize these seafood", She saw her hand tremble indecisively at a switch.

When the dream came to this point, she rolled over and sat up on the bed. She buried her head between her knees and said to herself, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

It was almost the end of the year, and Su Mei's company began to assign tasks again. Everyone had to pull an advertisement back, and the efficiency was directly linked to the year-end bonus.Although Su Mei has saved a little in the past few years, Ye Meixiang lives in a nursing home, which is a lot of money.I wrote a few good copywritings this year and thought I could get a generous year-end bonus, but when she suddenly heard that the new task was linked to the year-end bonus, she was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but she had no choice but to take her notebook and make phone calls one by one. .

Fortunately, I was lucky and pulled back a big advertisement.

Su Mei thought she owed Shen Qiao a favor, so she recommended Shen Qiao to the advertiser.The other party was an advertisement for mountaineering supplies. There were no special requirements for the selection of models, as long as they were young and in line with the characteristics of the product. The advertiser quickly finalized Shen Qiao as the model.

Then Su Mei worked several night shifts and finally wrote a copy that satisfied both the supervisor and the client.After finalizing the model and copywriting, the advertisement officially entered the production process.

Two days before the shooting, Su Mei received an email from the supervisor, which stated the specific process of the shooting, but Shen Qiao's name was not in the model column.

Su Mei pushed open the door of the manager's office angrily: "Why did the model change?"

Manager Qin looked at her in embarrassment: "The advertiser didn't specify that Shen Qiao must be filmed, so don't dig into the horns of this matter."

"I pulled this ad. It was agreed before that the company would not interfere with the casting. Now that I have finished writing the copy, the company has changed its mind." Su Mei went all out. She glared at Manager Qin, "Where is the model?" I've already agreed, how do you want me to do business?"

Manager Qin glanced at her and smiled: "You should communicate well with the model, I have nothing to do with the company's decision."

Her explanation was nothing but nonsense, obviously unable to stabilize Su Mei's impatience, Su Mei was really dissatisfied with Manager Qin's perfunctory attitude: "Anyway, the model cannot be changed, if I change the model, I will resign."

"Su Mei, aren't you embarrassing me?" Manager Qin showed a embarrassed look.

Su Mei intuitively felt that this matter was not so simple, she was a little excited, and looked directly at Manager Qin: "Manager, do you have any secrets?"

Manager Qin looked at Su Mei pitifully: "Is there something wrong between you and Mr. Song from Vanke?"

Speaking of this point, although Manager Qin didn't point it out, Su Mei already understood that it was Song Wenqi who secretly used a small trick.So she rushed to Vanke angrily.

Song Wenqi's assistant was very familiar with her, the little assistant just blocked her a little routinely, and Su Mei rushed into Song Wenqi's office: "Why do you interfere with my work?"

Song Wenqi, who was signing the document, raised his head.

Su Mei almost blurted out: "Don't go too far."

After her mind was running at high speed, Song Wenqi finally understood what she was talking about.He stopped signing, looked at Su Mei coldly, and said sternly, "You must choose him?"

Su Mei didn't answer directly, but looked at him, paused every word, and said coldly, "You really did the selection of the model?"

The other party raised his eyebrows and said with a cold smile, "I did it."

Su Mei shouted excitedly: "Why?"

"It's because I don't like Shen Qiao, because I'm your Luyuan's biggest client, and because I can make Luyuan disappear with a flick of my finger." Put it bluntly, "From now on, Shen Qiao's face will not appear in any of your Luyuan advertisements."

Su Mei's face turned pale little by little: "Why? He's just a small model, and you've done an amazing job."

Song Wenqi laughed suddenly: "Believe it or not, I can do even better?"

Su Mei grabbed a stack of documents and threw them at him: "You bastard, you're so bastard, you're threatening me, why are you threatening me?"

"Just because you have spent five years ridiculously, I don't want you to spend another five years ridiculously, is that enough reason?"

Song Wenqi's reason suddenly hit her pain point, Su Mei only felt cold, even the wind was cold, she was no longer as tough as before, and stopped talking.

"That's not Lu Haiyang. No matter how much you do for him, he's still just like Lu Haiyang."

In fact, she also knew that Shen Qiao was not Lu Haiyang.It's just that she has been avoiding the truth of the matter all the time. She thought she could tell the difference clearly, but seeing his facial features similar to those of Lu Haiyang, she always lost her sense of proportion.This thin truth was shattered by Song Wenqi at once.

She stopped arguing, stopped talking, and silently left Song Wenqi's office.

After she left, Song Wenqi locked the office. He stood in front of the window and lit a cigarette. He was originally a person who didn't like smoking, but he picked up this hobby two years ago.

He found that sometimes self-sabotage was a great way to relieve stress.

Su Mei decided to resign, she was not angry with Song Wenqi, it was because she didn't want to make Shen Qiao unable to gain a foothold in the modeling industry because of herself.As long as she stayed away from Shen Qiao, Song Wenqi would naturally not have the heart to play hard with a model.

When the resignation report was handed in, Manager Qin was stunned: "Are you serious?"

Su Mei smiled bitterly: "Manager Qin, we have worked together for so long, I know that you have your principles, and I have mine, and I won't make things difficult for you."

Manager Qin signaled her to work first, and let him think about resigning.Su Mei put the report on Manager Qin's desk, turned around and went to the office to pack up her things.Manager Qin saw her actions through the blinds and knew that she had made up her mind to go, so she called Song Wenqi's company.

Su Mei was walking on the street with a cardboard box in her arms, when a car suddenly stopped in front of her, and the tires rubbed sparks on the ground, but the sparks were not as good as the sparks on the faces of the people inside the car.The person in the car was Song Wenqi, who stared fiercely at the box in Su Mei's hand: "What are you doing, do you want to resign?"

Su Mei nodded: "I have voluntarily left, I know that with you here, it is impossible to resign."

Song Wenqi asked coldly, "Because of Shen Qiao?"

She nodded again: "Your family is rich and powerful in Engang. If you move a finger, you will crush him like an ant. Your purpose is to keep me away from him. Isn't this what you want?"

"The price is sacrificing you to fulfill him." Song Wenqi had never sneered like this before. At this moment, he seemed to be out of control, sneered sneeringly, his eyes were sore from laughing, and the muscles on his face were numb from laughing. "You are so great. You would sacrifice your job for an ordinary friend you met by chance. Can't you see that you are quite noble!"

"No matter how ironic you are, anyway, I have already decided."

Song Wenqi stopped his sneer for a moment, and said darkly: "Well, you will be responsible for the consequences. Look, the name Shen Qiao will not exist in the modeling industry in the future." After saying this, Song Wenqi turned around and got into the car In the middle of the day, the car kicked up a burst of dust and disappeared before her eyes.

Su Mei squatted on the side of the road, and buried her face between her knees in frustration.Why is he always so useless, always messing up everything, obviously wanting to help Shen Qiao, but now pushing him into the abyss again.

In fact, Song Wenqi's car was parked where she couldn't see him. He sat in a hidden place, watching Su Mei bend over and cry, his face gradually cooled down.

She never shed tears because of him.

Even if it is a drop, he will feel comforted, but in all these years, she has never had a tear that belongs to him.

Su Mei didn't tell anyone about quitting her job, and the next day she took the bus silently to the nursing home in Xiao District.

In the second year of working, Ye Meixiang's condition has improved. In addition to being able to buy vegetables and cook, she can occasionally chat with people in the community.Su Mei thought that Ye Meixiang had recovered, so she took Ye Meixiang with her when she visited Su Yuanan.The result was that this visit made Ye Meixiang fall ill again, and it was more serious than the first time.

Because Su Mei was busy with work, Ye Meixiang was left unattended, so Su Mei could only lock her at home. Once Su Mei came home a little late, Ye Meixiang was hungry and ate raw meat from the refrigerator.At Liang Yi's suggestion, Su Mei ruthlessly sent her to a nursing home.Although it is the best nursing home in the city, Su Mei always feels guilty, so she spends two or three days every month to accompany her.

The bus drove slowly, and when the bus was halfway there, someone shouted in the bus: "Wow, it's snowing."

Su Mei looked out the car window, and it really was snowing, pieces like goose feathers.Because Engang is close to the sea, the change of seasons is slow. Coupled with the gradual warming of the global climate, it is rare to see snow. I didn't expect it to snow in the early winter this year.When I arrived at the nursing home, it was already noon, and Ye Meixiang was having lunch under the care of the nurse. When she saw Su Mei, she clapped her hands: "That's great, someone played with me again today."

Su Mei ignored the words in her sentence, she helped Ye Meixiang from the nurse's hand, and asked considerately, "Would you like some tea?"

The elderly caregiver said softly: "Miss Su, because of the renovation of the water pipes in this area, the water is cut off today, and there is no boiling water, but your friend arrived earlier than you today, and has already poured water for your mother in another room." .”

her friend?The first person Su Mei thought of was Song Wenqi.In the past few years, Song Wenqi sometimes came to visit Ye Meixiang, thinking of the unhappiness with Song Wenqi, Su Mei bit the bullet and looked outside the door.At this time, a slender figure came from outside, and the white light reflected by the snow outside made him extremely handsome.

"Shen Qiao?" Su Mei looked surprised after seeing the person coming.

Shen Qiao who was carrying the water bottle was also stunned.

In an instant, the expressions of the two people changed ever-changing.

Su Mei asked suspiciously: "Why did you come?"

The older nurse on the side said with emotion: "You know each other? What a coincidence, Mr. Shen is a volunteer here. He joined our volunteer team two months ago. It is rare to have such a young man now. He is diligent and diligent in his work. Meticulous, he has been here every day for the past few days, and the old lady hits it off with him very well."

Shen Qiao was very unaccustomed to being complimented like this, his face blushed slightly, and he smiled: "I don't have a job these days, so I came here to do volunteer work."

It turned out to be like this, Su Mei looked at Ye Meixiang's dependent face, and smiled slightly: "Thank you, my mother seems to like you very much."

Shen Qiaote raised her head triumphantly: "Of course, I'm the little prince of advertising that everyone loves flowers."

Hearing him mention the advertisement, Su Mei's face changed.She thought for a while, but still didn't say that Song Wenqi planned to block him.Shen Qiao didn't have a chance to see the change in her face, because at this time Ye Meixiang was clamoring to watch a TV series.

Su Mei and Shen Qiao had no choice but to watch Leiju with her for three hours.After turning off the TV, I realized that the outside of the window had become plain white.

Shen Qiao looked at the snow and was a little excited: "I haven't seen snow for several years. It's so thick that I can build a snowman."

Su Mei's eyes widened. She's not mistaken, she's such a big person, and she still plays with making snowmen?Before she could refute, Ye Meixiang clapped her hands and jumped up from the side: "Okay, okay, I like to make snowmen."

Before Su Mei could speak, Shen Qiao had already pushed Ye Meixiang out, and he himself rushed into the snow.He squeezed a small snowball and threw it towards Su Mei.The snowball hit the top of her head and rolled into Su Mei's neckline. The cold snow went all the way down Su Mei's neck. As soon as she shivered, she became angry and shouted at Shen Qiao: "It's so cold, why don't you use snow Hit me with the ball, you are sick!"

That arrogant look made Shen Qiao's excited face suddenly darken.Su Mei looked at Shen Qiao's angry appearance, and felt funny in her heart: It's just a superficial friendship, why do you have to look down on me?When Su Mei thought it was funny, she really laughed out loud.

When Shen Qiao saw her smile, the anger in her heart disappeared.He looked at her, her hair disheveled from being hit by the snowball.He walked towards her with a slight smile and pulled her shoulders without feeling awkward at all.He brushed her messy hair back, and she didn't move.In the past, if she didn't want someone to touch her, she might give him a slap, but when faced with Shen Qiao's touch, she didn't feel awkward at all, and she even felt calm in her heart.It turns out that the willful Su Mei can be so soft and malleable, she couldn't help thinking in her heart: Why am I not angry?

Why am I not angry?It seems to be looking forward to it.Is it because he looks like Lu Haiyang?The way he fiddled with her hair was like the gentleness when that man named Lu Haiyang came over and left a kiss on her lips at the beach?

These feelings, they all seemed to flood her heart.

The two were thinking about their own thoughts, Ye Meixiang clapped her hands beside her and shouted: "That's great, I like you two, golden boy and jade girl, unparalleled in the world."

Hearing Ye Meixiang's description, Su Mei felt even more funny, she tilted her head and asked, "Who did you learn from?"

Ye Meixiang said solemnly: "It's a TV show with braided hair."

Su Mei laughed with a "puchi" and said, "No wonder Qingzhuang dramas have lasted for a long time, and the audience is huge." After saying this, Shen Qiao remembered that she had been watching a soap drama intermittently recently, and stood by her The other side smiled.

The two of them faced each other, smiling at each other's smiles, and they didn't know who felt it first, then they stopped laughing and froze on the spot.The silvery white snowflakes drifted around, falling very slowly, as if they were swimming.The whole world seemed to be still, and suddenly became clear, only the beating of the hearts of the two people remained.
