Chapter 200 Tears of the Times
The largest office on this floor was initially used by Fan Ren, but was later transferred to Jin Qiaoying, who served as the general manager, while he moved to another office not far away.
This is where Zeng Yingying is going to check in today.
Before getting married, she started to take care of Fanren's daily life here, and it was also here that they formed a bond.
Standing on the sofa which seemed never to have been replaced in my memory, I smoked silently.
Listening to the two girls' probably happy conversations constantly coming from his ears, he couldn't help but have a new understanding of his wife.
However, during the conversation, he also learned that Xu Min has been here for nearly thirty years. It is all thanks to her that the building has remained in the same state as it was in the past thirty years.
"Hubby, you sit alone for a while, Xiao Min and I will go for a walk?"
As if to avoid embarrassment for Fan Ren, Zeng Yingying gave a very considerate instruction and then pulled Xu Min out, as if they were going to talk about some private topic between best friends.
"Huh~~~"
As the office door was closed, Fan Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and finally he felt better all over.
It’s not that he still has feelings for his first love. More than 60 years have passed and Xu Min has long been forgotten by him. If they hadn’t met today, he didn’t know if he would ever think of her again in this life.
The truth is that the relationship between him, Zeng Yingying, and Xu Min is a bit awkward.
This is why Zeng Yingying has never mentioned it in front of Fan Ren, even though she is a close friend of Xu Min and they often contacted each other privately when they were not in hibernation in the early years.
After finishing a cigarette, Fan Ren thought about his miserable life in college decades ago, and couldn't help but recall the occasional meals he and Xu Min had.
In his opinion at that time, perhaps that was what falling in love was.
But now thinking back, he had never even held Xu Min's hand, let alone any further development between the two of them.
Smiling and shaking his head, Fan Ren put out the cigarette butt in a brand new ashtray. At the foot of the table was the small handbag left by Xu Min.
Then, as if he was still unsatisfied, he couldn't help but light up another one.
Smoking two cigarettes in a row was something he had never done before.
"Boss, your heart rate was a little fast just now."
"Well, Xu Min and I knew each other in college."
"I thought so. No wonder my heart beat faster when I meet old classmates. After all, it's been more than 60 years."
"Haha, she's still my first love."
"Fuck!"
Ah Dai was shocked. At this moment, he finally realized that the surprised expressions of the couple in the elevator just now were not because of the joy of meeting old classmates, but because of such a complicated relationship.
Outer room, balcony at the end of the corridor.
"My God, you still look the same as when you were in college, so young. Tell me if Xinghai has any high-tech that only insiders can use.
Also, I haven't been able to contact you in the past few decades, what's going on?"
Without Fan Ren's presence, the two of them began to act like close friends.
As Xu Min asked, a trace of fear appeared on her face. When she couldn't contact Zeng Yingying, she thought something had happened to her.
"Don't mention it. Fan Ren tricked me into a hibernation chamber and froze me there. I was only thawed two years ago."
Zeng Yingying spread her hands helplessly, but Xu Min saw through the affection in her eyes that was difficult to conceal.
"What about you? Are you married?"
Zeng Yingying was an experienced person and could tell at a glance that Xu Min did not speak like a married person, so she asked in a low voice.
Xu Min was a little embarrassed when asked this question, then sighed and shook his head and said: "I dated a few people, but they were boring, so we broke up later."
"Separated?" It's no wonder Zeng Yingying was surprised. Although their generation's life expectancy has increased to 150 years after undergoing two anti-aging treatments.
Although he doesn't look much old now, he is already over 70 years old.
And Xu Min doesn't look like her. After all, she has been in the hibernation chamber for decades, and her actual age is only nearly 40 years old.
Today, Xu Minke is truly a woman in her 70s.
And the other party's conditions are not bad.
There are really no poor people among the employees working at Xinghai.
Xu Min shook his head awkwardly, obviously not wanting to talk about this topic. He asked instead, "Um, is the countdown announced by our company true or false? We are fine in Xinghai now, but some people outside are panicking now."
Hearing this, Zeng Yingying's eyes also showed a hint of worry.
"Really? Fanren has been busy with these things for the past few decades. He was afraid that he would be too busy to take care of me, so he tricked me into hibernation. By the way, where is Liu Xinyue? I haven't heard from her for a long time."
"How long? You slept for decades, so of course it's a long time."
Xu Min's tone was subconsciously a little sour, and then he covered his head and said, "She has been muddled these years, getting married and divorced, looking down on this and that, and complaining every time she came to me. Later, I got annoyed and had a fight with her, and we haven't been in touch since then."
Speaking of this, Xu Min couldn't help but think of himself and sighed secretly in his heart.
So why isn't she?
There was another silence between the two of them, and Zeng Yingying didn't know how to respond.
In the end, it was Xu Min who broke the silence first.
"Let's do this for now. You two should reminisce about your days on the Blue Planet. I know it's rare for you to come to the surface, so I won't disturb you. Let me skip work today and we'll contact each other when we have time."
She controlled the muscles on her cheeks to reveal a not-so-nice smile, and her words were joking, yet also seemed like an escape.
After seeing Xu Min off, Zeng Yingying returned to the office.
I saw Fan Ren sitting in his old office chair, with his feet propped up on the desk, his body unconsciously turning in the chair, his eyes slightly closed in a daze.
Zeng Yingying walked forward, leaned over and pecked Fanren lightly on the lips.
"What are you thinking about?"
She licked her red lips and looked at Fan Ren with a smile in her eyes.
"Aren't we waiting for you to take photos and check in? What were you talking about?" Fan Ren asked in surprise and quickly put his feet down.
Hearing this, Zeng Yingying did not answer. Instead, she sat astride Fan Ren's thighs without caring whether the chair could bear the weight of both of them.
At this moment, her eyes were full of charm, her arms gently wrapped around Fan Ren's neck, and her breathing became a little restrained.
Zeng Yingying did not directly answer Fan Ren's question.
She looked into Fanren's eyes and gently bit her red lips with her white teeth.
They are an old married couple, and Fan Ren knows what this means. This kind of thing has happened a lot in the two years since she was thawed.
"Is it locked?"
Fan Ren looked at the closed door and pouted.
Zeng Yingying's pretty face flushed and she nodded slightly. Then she exclaimed and was picked up by Fan Ren who stood up and slowly placed on the desk.
Outside the office door, Xu Min, who had forgotten to take her bag, came back. When she approached the door, her mouth opened in surprise, and then she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.
No one knew how long she stayed at the door.
If there were two drops of tears on the floor, equidistant from the eye sockets, no one would notice that someone had been here.
