After lunch, in the afternoon, I took Ma Jie to their school and pretended to be his parents again.

Their teaching director is also a very easy-to-talk person. After all, smoking is big or small, because Ma Jie's recent performance is indeed quite stable and his performance is much better than before.

I promised him that he would definitely discipline him strictly in this regard after he went back, so he didn't say anything more and let me leave.

After coming out, I said to Ma Jie, "Okay, given that you performed well in other aspects, I won't criticize you for this incident. However, I have promised your director that you will never do it again in the future. If you are caught smoking again next time, don't come to me again. Even if you say "Baotian, I will not help you again."

"I understand. I'm just curious. Now I know that it's hard to draw. Even if I spend money to ask me to draw, I won't draw any more. Don't worry," he said.

I nodded, "I hope you can do what you say. I'm very busy this year and probably don't have time to give you some tutoring lessons. You can use more snacks yourself and have nothing else to do, so I'll leave first."

"No, brother-in-law." He stopped me.

"Is there anything else?"

"I want to talk to you," he said.

"What are you talking about?" I asked.

"What's wrong with you and my sister," he said.

"What do you care about about adults? Care more about your academic performance." I said.

"Hey, I'm not young anymore. Besides, I don't care about your affairs if I like you, my brother-in-law. If I don't like you, I'm too lazy to care about you." Ma Jie said.

"Okay, tell me, what do you want to know?"

I took out a cigarette, lit a cigarette, and said, "I took a sip."

"What happened to you and my sister...?" he asked.

"It's nothing."

"It's nothing. Can my uncle let her be nice to others?" Ma Jie said, "Have you cheated?"

I couldn't help laughing when I said such a little brat, "It's not true, can you stop guessing here?"

"Can you respect me? I'm not a little brat, I really care about you." Ma Jie said anxiously, "If not, why is my sister not with you?"

I took a sip of cigarette and said to him, "It's not that I don't respect you, Ma Jie, many things are too complicated. You are at your age and can't understand."

He was a little unwilling to give up, "Then does my sister... still like you?"

"like."

"Will you get married? Since you like each other, then be together, what a simple thing." Ma Jie said, "I really hope you can become my brother-in-law. I have accepted it all. I don't want others to be my brother-in-law."

I was smoking a cigarette, choked up for a moment, and said with a wry smile, "Ma Jie, no matter whether my brother-in-law is successful or not, I will treat you as my brother. Okay, don't worry about us, focus more on study, and your sister and I will be happy."

I told him a few words, and when it was time for class, I drove out of the school.

When I drove alone on the road, I felt extremely melancholy in my heart. When I recalled Ma Jie's words just now, I felt a lot of emotion for a moment.

Yes, how righteous it is to be together with two people you like, and how simple it is.

However, the adult world is so complex, so complicated that although I am already an adult, I still cannot understand and helpless...

Those things that should be pure and beautiful have to be surrounded by reality and become entangled. You can't struggle yet. Once you struggle, those beautiful and colorful colors will be worn away and will be pale from now on...

...

After returning to the company, I was panicked and unwilling to work.

Sitting in the office, smoking a cigarette, waiting for Lu Yating's call.

Such a waiting is extremely long and empty, and it will only make you feel more and more anxious as you wait.

Until the sky became dark outside the window, the night was dim, and the lights of thousands of houses were lit, until the endless smoke made the mouth bitter, but never waited for Lu Yating's call.

Zhang San knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing that I was filled with smoke, he couldn't help but frown, "Are you planning to barbecue yourself?"

I smiled bitterly and didn't say anything.

He walked over, looked at me, and sighed, "Have you figured out what's going on now?"

"No."

"If you don't have you, you'll make yourself like this?" Zhang San said inexplicably, "You go find her! Can't you be more worried?"

"I'm waiting."

"What are you waiting for?"

"I'm waiting for her to tell me," I said.

"You go and ask her, is there any difference?" Zhang San asked.

"There is a difference." I said.

“What’s the difference?”

"I dare not ask." I said.

Zhang San was stunned.

"I really don't dare to ask. What she said last time with her on the subway, now when I think about it, it seems that she already knew something at that time. Maybe she already had the answer in her heart," I said, "So, I don't dare to ask, I really don't dare to ask..."

Zhang San looked at me in pain, sighed, patted my shoulder, "I really don't know how to help you in this matter, or... I'll help you find Lu Yating, let me talk to her?"

"Thank you, but no," I said, "She hasn't contacted me yet. Maybe she needs time, and I'm just waiting. I think I'll wait."

Zhang San patted my shoulder and said, "Okay, then I'll get off work first. Liu Ziwen said he was going to see a movie, and it's almost time."

"Go." I smiled.

Zhang San sighed and walked out.

I walked out of the office and found that most of my colleagues had already gotten off work, and the office was empty and I was the only one left.

I couldn't stand this feeling of loneliness, packed up my things, and was ready to leave.

As soon as I drove the car from the underground garage to the company's door, I saw a Mercedes-Benz honking at me. I looked carefully and found that it was Mr. Jia's car.

Mr. Jia rolled down the window and waved at me. I had to park the car on the side of the road and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Seeing that my attitude was a little cold, he said, "What? Are you still angry with me about Hua Guotian?"

"I don't dare, I'm not qualified." I said, "What's wrong with you looking for me?"

"Something is wrong," said Mr. Jia, "Please bring me some more medicine to Yu Ling."

I felt warmth and even admired when he cared about Yu Ling so much in the past, but since I heard the story of him and Yu Ling’s father, I only felt an indescribable disgust.

"You go and send it yourself," I said, "for this matter... I don't want to deceive her anymore."

Mr. Jia looked obviously disappointed, sighed and said, "Okay, can you talk to me?"

"Do we... have anything to talk about?" I asked.

"Tell me about you and Lu Yating." He said.
