Section 2

Are you unable to wait any longer and are leaving now

After hesitating for a long while, I uttered the most meaningless words

She moved too hastily and accidentally bumped her elbow into a female classmate who was coming out with her luggage. Instinctively, she uttered a string of apologies, but before she could finish, the call had already connected

... ...

Cheng Cheng: I have read it, you may continue writing.

Are you leaving tomorrow?" Mi Yi asked a question that had no real significance, quickly following it with what was truly on her mind, "So tonight... you are still in Shanghai, right? Can I see you? I would like to see you off

Miyi opened the chat window of Chengcheng and typed a line: I realized that I have never added you as a friend

Miyi remembers that Haku once complained on the field that Chengcheng is a nocturnal creature, and it is rare for him to bask in the sun, which can make him irritable for a long time. Due to the limited understanding of Chengcheng, it is rare to know that such trivial matters can be infinitely magnified, to the extent that one might think Chengcheng would stand them up because of it

Behind her, two boys were waiting to withdraw money. They watched as Mi Yi stood in front of the ATM, taking her phone out of her backpack one moment, putting it back the next, and then checking her balance again. They found it quite puzzling. However, since Mi Yi was a girl, they felt it was inappropriate to urge her on, so they whispered to each other. Given the situation, they wondered if the young lady might have been scammed.

I feel very sad, my throat is sore, and there is a heaviness in my chest, an indescribable feeling

Cheng Cheng: No, no, I am her roommate, helping her collect documents. She is on the phone

Looking for a job

I don't know, it is because I love eating so much that I learned from my mother

Cheng Cheng has not replied again

Cheng Cheng: No, do not overthink it

The person on the other end of the phone is silent

Mi Yi, in a rush, mistakenly took the wrong exit and had to turn back, heading towards Exit 3 through the underground passage, already walking and running at the same time. On Saturday afternoon, Zhongshan Park subway station was overcrowded, and the escalator leading out of the subway was packed with people. Unable to wait for the elevator, Mi Yi ran up the stairs.

Exit the subway at Exit 3, "Cheng Cheng said, "I will pick you up there."

During dinner, Cheng Cheng shared this information with her roommates, who mocked her, asking what someone who has never stepped into the kitchen since childhood would do in the future. Would she eat out for the rest of her life

Miyi was momentarily taken aback, unsure of how to respond

Cheng Cheng spoke up: "Are you familiar with Zhongshan Park?"

I recently ... ... '' Chengcheng thought of Miyi, `` I met a little girl from Sichuan. As soon as I heard she was from Sichuan, I felt an inexplicable fondness. ''

I greeted Haku," Chengcheng replied.

Approximately one and a half hours later, Mi Yi exited the subway station

Are you on Q tonight? I will finish writing the first article today and send it to you after I am done

Indeed, she has had the meals prepared by the old aunt a few times, and they were just average

Everything has been arranged, and Cheng Cheng has started to feel restless again

Send

Miyi was already familiar with the route from the school to Zhongshan Park, but she did not expect that Chengcheng also lived there. She thought that Chengcheng, like Haku, lived in another area of the city and only went to the bar every Saturday

Unaware of the school, unaware of the real name, unaware of the home address, it seems there are no channels for contact.

Mi Yi was pushed to the corner by the crowd at the subway entrance, and finally, saw Cheng Cheng walking from the cool shaded area on the left

Miyi: I feel that by helping you this time, it seems like I have taken a great advantage...

Is it beautiful? Sichuan produces stunning women, all my classmates are incredibly beautiful

"I know," Mi Yi immediately said, "I have been there, it's not far from the Haku bar."

"You startled me; I thought something had happened to you." The classmate felt relieved and climbed onto the bed

... it's okay, Cheng Cheng said something truthful, "the skin is quite good"

Mi Yi: Hmm, good

Otherwise, it would be too strange

In a hurry, unable to wait, and without any reservations, came to meet...

City City: Repairs are needed, but not by you

After a pause of a few seconds, she smiled and said, "I haven't eaten today. If you're not hungry, just consider it as keeping me company while I eat."

Isn't it true that girls from Sichuan are great at cooking? Cheng Cheng asked his roommate

"Why are you suddenly leaving?" Mi Yichong blurted out, and the next moment he realized his attitude was inappropriate, quickly using more words to cover it up, "I mean, do Haku and the others know? Has everyone talked about it in the group? I didn't pay attention; I haven't been on the QQ group these past two days..."

But now, facing each other alone, I do not even know what to say next

"Please, Auntie. The one from my dormitory, her parents have never cooked since she was little, and there has always been an old auntie. I think it's quite good," Cheng Cheng said.

Mi Yi, a sophomore, has not yet realized the importance of job searching and resumes. However, when she saw the additional numbers on her campus card, she gained a concrete understanding of this job.

"I actually haven't packed my luggage yet," Cheng Cheng said, noticing her silence. He glanced around and added, "We can't stay out too long. We need to head back after dinner. What do you want to eat? Sichuan cuisine?"

Where is she

She stood at the entrance of the dormitory building for a long time and sent a text message to Chengcheng

In the future? Mi Yi did not speak

The document was received promptly

Before assisting Cheng Cheng, the assistant worked as a text editor and is quite skilled in this type of writing. Cheng Cheng's arrangement is for Mi Yi to write the first draft, allowing the text editor to polish and revise it. The remuneration is divided between the two, with Mi Yi receiving 40% and the assistant 60%. This arrangement not only honors the friend who introduced the part-time job but also ensures the quality of the manuscript while providing Mi Yi with some extra income

I have been living in reverse day and night for too long, and I dislike being in the sun. Cheng Cheng pointed to the iced red tea, indicating for her to drink it. However, it is not to the extent that I would go back because of this, what would that amount to?

Cheng Cheng: You lack experience, and you won't be able to fix it well. Listen to me and continue writing.

Miyi: Ah? Are we not going to make any modifications? Is that really acceptable?

She has a train ticket to go home next Monday and is also the last in the entire dormitory to leave school

Cheng Cheng hung up the phone and pondered for a moment. After all, Mi Yi was a novice, and it was his first time writing, so there would definitely be many issues. Teaching, adjusting, and modifying it little by little would be too slow. Therefore, he changed his plan and called his former assistant.

After Cheng Cheng took it back, he quickly provided her with all the revised drafts, allowing her to compare and learn, and to discover her own shortcomings. He also left her with a piece of advice: "Having multiple skills is never a burden; when looking for a job in your senior year, it can be included in your resume"

She was too anxious just now, eager to see Cheng Cheng, forgetting to deeply consider that tomorrow is the day of parting... But now, upon seeing Cheng Cheng, her eyes unexpectedly felt sour, and she forcibly restrained her emotions, softly saying: "I thought you were afraid of the sun and went back."

Dressed as if at a racetrack, she wore black shorts and a black T-shirt, with only her sneakers changed to a dark red color. In her left hand, she held a bottle of iced tea from a well-known brand, still dripping with water, while her right hand raised her wallet and phone in front of her face to shield herself from the direct sunlight.

Mi Yi awoke from a deep sense of guilt, feeling as if she had just been warmed, but now was as if a cold wind had blown over her

Upon making eye contact, Mi Yi immediately lost her confidence to speak

Is she leaving? Leaving Shanghai?

Although it is earned through labor, it is too much for Mi Yi, who usually only does odd jobs

Then let me try to write an article first, and you can take a look

Miyi hesitated and first sent the document over

Without a second thought, Mi Yi agreed, hurriedly grabbed his backpack from the dormitory, and, without time to withdraw money, borrowed two hundred yuan from a classmate before running out of the dormitory building. At the bus stop at the school gate, there were mostly students from the university, and Mi Yi estimated it would be difficult to catch a bus, so he quickly walked to the subway station. Once he got on the subway, the first thing he did was to inform Cheng Cheng that he had boarded the train.

Miyi: Do you want to fix it? Or tell me where the problem is, and I will handle it.

Alright, I stay awake until before 3 o'clock.

Miyi displayed great enthusiasm for all-night studying during the final exam week and quickly completed all the drafts

"She is talking nonsense. Aside from going to bars, I rarely wear white," Cheng Cheng retorted, "Have you really never been to a place like a bar before?"

I know. Cheng Cheng is not surprised at all

For the assistant, it was a familiar task that required little effort; it not only helped Cheng Cheng but also allowed for some extra income, so the assistant readily agreed.

This writing continued until late at night

Well

The lights in such places are all fluorescent, and people look best in white. You can try it in the future

Miyi was completely at a loss for words, holding the phone, feeling sad

Cheng Cheng's avatar remains dark as always. Mi Yi has never added Cheng Cheng as a friend; she always looks for her in the QQ group. At this moment, it suddenly occurred to her that if one day Cheng Cheng no longer logged into QQ and her phone number became useless, would this person completely disappear?

She took a few steps to Mi Yi's front and handed over the iced red tea

Looking around, there are people everywhere, men and women, old and young, those in long skirts and those in short skirts

She checked the time; the market had already opened. Following her roommate's instructions, she went to the market to buy the ingredients for cooking. In the past, she had visited the markets in Beijing twice, where she bought everything in baskets and bundles, and no one helped with the processing. Today, for the first time at a market in Shanghai, she realized how user-friendly the Shanghai markets are. You can buy just one tomato? Even a few sprigs of cilantro? ... Most importantly, when she bought potatoes, they even peeled them for you ... Today, for the first time at a market in Shanghai, she realized how user-friendly the Shanghai markets are. You can buy just one tomato? Even a few sprigs of cilantro? ... Most importantly, when she bought potatoes, they even peeled them for you ...

Mi Yi: Hmm, waiting for you

Will we need to hire a chef in the future

Well

Friends made in that bar, no matter how well you get along, still maintain a final layer of boundaries, which is also a form of self-protection. Newcomers come in, old-timers leave, and in the end, not even real names are left behind, which really leaves nothing to be said

All the dormitory classmates have fallen asleep, and only this one computer remains lit.

Hello?" Cheng Cheng's voice reached my ears

Miyi wanted to ask one more question: is Chengcheng coming back, or will he go offline after finishing the documents? She felt that it was inappropriate to ask, so she hesitated, sitting idly in her chair waiting

Just waiting for the first draft from Miyiyi to take over the revisions

Cheng Cheng: It is not me

Approximately three years

There has been no response from that side

So it turns out to be a roommate

Twenty minutes for data entry on the computer, twenty minutes for verification

Mi Yi exited the bank card, bypassed two boys, and walked from the on-campus bank to the dormitory building, sweating profusely. At the entrance of the dormitory building, many local students' parents were there to pick up their children. Today marks the end of the school year, and the entire grade has officially started summer vacation.

In the afternoon, after she received the task, she got the materials sent by Cheng Cheng, along with various excellent manuscripts for her reference. Mi Yi copied everything onto a USB drive and printed it out at the library. She originally intended to use a computer in the computer lab to write, but today was the day of the makeup exam for first-year students, and there were no available computers. She had no choice but to take the materials back and write by hand, while also coordinating with her dorm mates to borrow a computer after midnight to convert the manuscripts into electronic format.

"We are waiting." Mi Yi said softly

There are always people using this computer to watch movies all night, so the dormitory residents have become accustomed to this ever-present source of light and do not think much of it. However, seeing Mi Yi like this, neither chatting nor watching movies, just sitting in front of the computer in a daze, is quite frightening. A classmate who got up to go to the bathroom couldn't help but walk over and peek at Mi Yi, asking, "What are you doing?"

While enjoying a five-dish meal and a cold dish prepared by his roommate in the city, Mi Yi missed the cafeteria meal times and had been hunched over the table writing his manuscript. However, today no one in the dormitory went to get food, and there was enough bread and cake to fill his stomach. If that wasn't sufficient, there was also a small electric stove for hot pot to cook glutinous rice balls.

City City : Okay

You... don't seem to like wearing white very much, yet Haku said you really like it

I haven't finished writing, so I deleted it and will write it again: I write too slowly, and I apologize for making you wait until now

Are you going to sleep

Cheng Cheng: Are you still awake

Mi Yi: Are you... angry?

The first time I went was because I was coaxed by Lin Ting. When Haku mentioned the average cost per person for the private booth, Mi Yi began to regret it and vowed never to go again. ... Later, after getting to know Cheng Cheng, she completely forgot her complaints and started to live frugally, going to the bar every week without fail, and naturally, there was a second time, a third time ...

Chengcheng looks back at Miyii

The coolness in the palm calms Mi Yi's anxiety, and the heart returns to its original place

"I didn't mean to ask you to treat me to a meal," Mi Yi thought Cheng Cheng misunderstood her and was truly trying to swindle her. She hurriedly explained, "What I said earlier was to prevent you from not allowing me to come and fulfill my promise; the meal was just an excuse..."

But there is still no written response

Last time... you said you were very busy and asked me to help you, and you also mentioned that you would treat me to a meal later. When Mi Yi saw that entry, she knew that Cheng Cheng was just being polite, but now she only had this excuse to rely on. "Do you still remember..."

Miyi continues to wait in vain

Miyi: I have received my payment

Miyi: Are you going to ...? ... for work? On a business trip? How long will you be gone

Now that I think about it, Mi Yi completely does not understand Cheng Cheng's temperament, but intuitively suspects that she would refuse him in a very tactful manner

Miyi guessed that she should get busy, gently closed her computer, took the materials to bed, and continued her research using the light from her phone. The more she looked at the materials and sample drafts, the more she regretted having sent her first piece so quickly; it was truly poorly written.

Approximately half an hour later, Cheng Cheng finally returned

Mi Yi's face suddenly felt hot, but fortunately, fortunately, the first sentence just now was not sent.

Miyi: I will start my summer vacation and go home next Monday. Are you still going to the bar tonight?

Cheng Cheng is drinking water again

The requirement of six hundred to eight hundred words is merely the length of a college entrance examination essay, yet she spent several hours writing it

Cheng Cheng: I will be leaving Shanghai by plane early tomorrow morning, so I will not be going.

Miyi could no longer afford to be reserved and quickly dialed Chengcheng's number, holding the phone to her ear

00:45, go online q

Cheng Cheng also informed Mi Yi that she is already at Entrance 3
