BXBX NOVEL Chapter 178 - 178: Onions
As a result, Jin Nian repeatedly requested that Lu An change the wet sofa in the office.
The next day, Lu An called someone to send a new set of leather sofas to replace the original sofa.
Jin Nian had to accompany CEO Lu for lunch every day, so she naturally couldn’t have lunch with her colleagues. She had declined so many times that it had inevitably aroused curiosity. She could only say that she was on a diet now and did not have much of an appetite at noon. Everyone had stopped asking.
Jin Nian felt like a thief. Every day, she waited for her colleagues to go to the cafeteria to eat in twos and threes before she took the elevator to the eighteenth floor carefully.
The food on the 18th floor was indeed better than the food in the cafeteria. Jin Nian suddenly remembered that when she didn’t know who the CEO was, she was speechless. She thought that the CEO was a maverick and didn’t get along with others.
Lu An laughed at her foolishness. Think about it carefully. Would you be willing to sit and eat with your big boss? That was why he didn’t go down. He wanted everyone to feel more at ease.
Jin Nian felt that he was just finding an excuse. “You’re not close to the people at all. Otherwise, why would everyone call you Fire Dragon?”
“Even if you have a soft temper, you can’t lead such a large team.”
“You’re always too soft-hearted, too soft-hearted.” Jin Nian suddenly sang a song.
“Why are you singing all of a sudden?”
Jin Nian laughed as she sang, and in the end, she couldn’t stop laughing.
In fact, she was tone-deaf and sang out of tune, but she liked to hum a few words when she had nothing to do.
Singing depended on talent, and she couldn’t do it.
She still remembered the music lessons in school. Every time Jin Nian sang, she would go out of tune. No matter how gentle and warm the song was, she would always be able to sing out of tune.
Previously, she had even quarreled with her classmates because she sang off-tune. Jin Nian’s favorite singer had released a new song, and she would hum it for fun when she had nothing to do. She was ridiculed by her deskmate for insulting her idol. Jin Nian was so angry that he practiced at home for a week and sang beside Lu An every day. He could almost recite the lyrics backward, but the tune that Jin Nian sang was still wrong.
What made her even angrier was that Lu An could sing all kinds of songs accurately after listening to them once. He had an excellent sense of music. Not only did he sing well, but he also played the piano.
Jin Nian often heard him hum a familiar melody, but she couldn’t remember which song it was, so she begged him to sing it for her.
One night in their third year of high school, the two of them were walking side by side on the way home. “Looking at you secretly.”
“Secretly hiding myself.”
“If you’re willing, layer by layer.”
“Layer by layer, peel off my heart.”
“You will find.”
“You’ll be surprised.”
“You’re my.”
“Most depressing.”
“The deepest secret…”
It was Yang Zongwei’s “Onion”. Jin Nian had heard of it a few times, but she had forgotten.
Lu An’s voice was very similar to his, low and rich. He rarely sang seriously in front of others, but he would always satisfy her requests.
That night, Lu An said a lot of things, which was rare. He said that he liked Yang Zongwei very much, especially the song “Onion”. It was regretful and affectionate.
Jin Nian listened to him sing quietly and listened to his understanding and feelings about the lyrics.
At that time, she suddenly realized that Lu An, who was originally sloppy on the outside, was also very gentle on the inside. Although he looked like he didn’t care about anything on the surface, he would remember that she liked milk tea with less ice and sugar. He liked to turn off all the lights in the room and listen to music when he was unhappy. He would remember her period and know when the celebrity she liked would release a new album.
From that day on, Jin Nian added that song to her playlist and even played it on a loop for a while.
Later on, when she fell in love with someone else, she suddenly understood the true meaning of this song.
The two of them had a song they liked in common. It was Eason Chan’s “Ferris Wheel Happiness”. Perhaps it was because the two of them had heard this song too many times during their high school years that Jin Nian had already planted a seed related to the Ferris wheel in her heart.
“When life seems to linger on the Ferris wheel, happiness can kiss the starry sky at any time.”
“I can still hug you in fear as if I had forgotten the weight of the game.”
Just like the lyrics said, on the night she broke off the engagement, she insisted on going to the Ferris wheel. Even if the amusement park was closed, she could still shamelessly let Lu An use his money.
The two of them had known each other for too many years, and there were too many memories to talk about.
Other than this afternoon, it was like this most of the time.
One weekend, Jin Nian was eating yogurt when she suddenly remembered something.. She ran to Lu An excitedly and said, “Do you remember when you fell on the ground in the winter of your second year in primary school and almost disfigured yourself?”
