More than once, I had wondered what it would be like if my parents and grandma were still alive after I started working. Never would I have thought that it would happen under the influence of the heart-glimpsing rune.
I couldn't deny the happiness I felt. Even though I knew that it wasn't real, I still indulged in it.
My family had a great time eating dumplings for lunch.
Although I had lost my composure in front of my grandma, she didn't pursue the matter after I managed to fool her. She was a smart woman. She didn't even tell my parents about me crying on my arms.
Even at the dinner table, when my mother asked me why my eyes were red, she helped me out. "I asked Xiao Mutou to carry something for me, but something got into his eyes."
For the past two days, I had been staying at my parents' house. In this familiar yet strange house, I was enjoying the family reunion that I had lost for nearly twenty years.
After dinner on Sunday afternoon, I took a taxi back to my place.
Two days of preparation made me slowly recall my main job from two years ago.
I left for the company early on Monday morning. I wanted to spend some time familiarizing myself with the work.
Since the heart-glimpsing rune's plot had been arranged this way, I couldn't quit my job and break away from the script. Once I broke away from the script, the rest would be like dominos. Too many uncontrollable things would be affected.
If I acted according to the script, at least I would know the main sequence of the plot and have the means to deal with it. What would happen if I broke away from the script would be completely unpredictable.
I arrived at the company at seven in the morning and quickly found my seat.
I recalled the password to my computer after a while.
I turned on the computer and logged in to check my recent work.
Although it was unfamiliar, I quickly familiarized myself with the operation of the computer. I also found the job list that I had made with an Excel spreadsheet and started to check the relevant information.
Xiao Wang from my group came around 7: 40 in the morning. He greeted me when he saw me.
"Brother Lin, you're here."
I nodded at him and went back to my work.
There were six sales teams in the sales department, and I was one of the team leaders. I was the supervisor, and there were eight people under me.
After spending some time to familiarize myself with the business, I looked at the contact list of the company's various departments that were pasted on the table, and quickly matched the names with the faces in my head.
After making sufficient preparations, the company did not reveal any flaws.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. I had completely familiarized myself with the business.
She went back to her parents' house for the weekend.
During dinner on Saturday, his mother suddenly brought up a topic.
"Xiao Mu Tou, you're not young anymore. You're already 25 years old. It's time for you to find a girlfriend and think about marriage."
I was bewildered. Then, an idea popped up in my head. "Will the marriage push the plot forward?"
Thinking to this point, I nodded and smiled. "I also want to find a suitable person."
"I heard from your Auntie Liu that she knows a pretty good girl. She's half a year younger than you, and she's a newcomer in her unit. She's very pretty." His mother smiled. "Are you interested in meeting her?"
"You have to be willing," I knew that mom was waiting for me here.
"Tomorrow is Sunday. If you agree, we can meet him tomorrow." His mother couldn't wait any longer.
"Then let's meet." Lin Huang really didn't have any thoughts about marriage. But since the plot had developed to this point, he felt that he should meet her since it might be beneficial to the plot.
After agreeing to this, his mother called Auntie Liu after dinner without washing the dishes. Not long after, I received the news that the girl agreed to meet.
The next morning, I arranged to meet the girl at a coffee shop.
I arrived at the coffee shop twenty minutes early. I ordered a cup of coffee and waited patiently.
The appointment time was 9 am. At around 8: 50 am, I saw a somewhat familiar figure slowly walking towards the coffee shop.
The girl was wearing a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans. Her hair was tied up in a ponytail and she wore a pair of sunglasses that covered half of her face. She only had a khaki handbag in her hand. She was dressed quite refreshingly in this hot summer.
I was stunned by what I saw.
After the girl pushed the door open and entered the coffee shop, she was also stunned when she saw me.
After hesitating for a while, she took off her sunglasses and walked towards me.
"Long time no see …" I really didn't expect to meet the girl I once said, "I want to kiss you," and she replied with, "Let's kiss then."
"I didn't expect it to be you either." Zhang Yan sat down.
There was a sudden silence. I didn't know how to speak again. She seemed to feel awkward too.
"When did you come back?" I chose to use this topic to break the silence.
"I just came back a month ago." Zhang Yan peeked at me.
"Yan Yan … Why don't we get married?" I didn't know why I suddenly said that, but I really didn't want to miss the girl I had been with for almost two years. If I had to choose someone to marry on Earth, she was the perfect choice for me.
Zhang Yan was silent. She seemed to be hesitating and struggling.
"I will spend more time at home with you. I will think of a way to avoid unnecessary social engagements." I knew the reason why she left me.
"You promise?" Zhang Yan's eyes lit up.
"I promise!" I nodded. "Promise me, we will get married and have two babies. Then, we will watch them grow up together."
Zhang Yan covered her mouth and giggled. "You're still that silly."
"Promise me, okay?" I looked at her with a burning gaze. I had never wanted to spend the rest of my life with someone so seriously.
"You don't even have a ring. Humph!" Zhang Yan puffed her cheeks and turned her face to the side.
"Ugh, I didn't expect to propose today …" I panicked and immediately stood up. "Wait here. I'll go buy it!"
"Buy what?"
"Buy a ring!"
"Are you sure I will agree if you buy it?" Zhang Yan's eyes flashed slyly.
"This …" I was stunned, but I quickly caught her expression. "I don't care. I have to buy it regardless of whether you agree or not! If you don't agree today, I will propose to you tomorrow, the day after, and the day after that! "
"Are you sure you want to rely on me for the rest of your life?" Zhang Yan asked with a smile.
"I'm sure. I've decided on you for the rest of my life." I said that very seriously.
"Then … I agree." Zhang Yan's eyes shone brightly, and it completely overlapped with the image of her in my memory.
