designer who lives in the next room

"It's fine if it's not serious..." Li Zixi lowered her head and glanced at the cats she wanted to buy in her phone, crossed their pictures, and stared at the puppet cat for a long time, "Since If that’s the case, then there’s no way to raise a cat…”

Li Zixi looked very sad, no matter in her tone or expression, but she quickly raised her head and smiled, "Ah, yes, raising a cat is a bit of a hassle, and you have to shovel shit and shed hair everywhere, Nanako is better, not at all. It will shed and be soft."

Nanako knew that Li Zixi was comforting herself, she didn't want Nanako to think that it was her fault that she couldn't raise a cat.The smile on her face, which was pretending to be calm, made Nanako feel distressed, and she began to regret the lie she told.

"I'll go and see if there are other things that can be raised, and I may find something I like." Li Zixi smiled and said to Nanako, "Nanako, do you have any other allergies?"

"Ah, no more..." Nanako wanted to tell Li Zixi that she was lying to her, but no matter what, she couldn't open her mouth. If she told her the truth now, her wife would definitely die of grief.

So she had no choice but to stay silent and stare at the variety show on TV, but she couldn't watch it.

The bubbles in the beer on the table were bursting softly, the voice on the TV was in stark contrast to the quiet Li Zixi, Nanako didn't know what to do now.

The sky outside suddenly became gloomy, and the weather forecast said that there would be rain in these two days.It's been hot for a while, and it won't be too bad if it doesn't rain again.

It is the end of spring now, and the weather forecast shows that there will be continuous light rain for the next week. I tell everyone to bring umbrellas to prevent colds from the rain.

The darkening sky made Nanako feel more depressed, and she couldn't sit quietly on the sofa.She looked at Li Zixi who was playing with her mobile phone, and when Li Zixi noticed something, she immediately looked away.

"It will be fine after tonight, and Li Zixi won't be sad all the time." Nanako said in her heart, she was a little irritable and needed to calm down, "I want to take a bath, are you okay?"

"If there's anything I can do, you go and wash it." Li Zixi tilted her head and looked at Nanako, sensing her strange heart, "By the way, help me wash my underwear and put it on the washing machine."

"Why don't you wash it yourself?" Nanako asked while taking off her shirt, "Shouldn't underwear be washed by yourself?"

"Forgot, eh." Li Zixi answered her with a smirk, and then changed the TV channel. She didn't like variety shows very much, so she found a random TV series and started watching.

It had already started to rain outside, and a gust of cool wind blew into the house, Li Zixi turned off the electric fan and looked outside.She doesn't like rainy days, it's inconvenient to do anything when it's cold and gloomy, and she has to go out for interviews these two days, she really hopes it will be sunny when she goes out.

While thinking this way, Li Zixi closed the cat trading website she found on her phone.She was a little disappointed, after all, she wanted to have a cat so much, but she didn't blame Nanako at all, nor did Nanako want to make herself allergic to cats.

And she had accompanied her self-willed self to the cat cafe before.

"What should I pay attention to for cat allergies." Li Zixi typed these words into the search box. Allergies can be big or small, but she has to pay attention to them. She needs to know what Nanako should pay attention to. After all, allergies feel super uncomfortable.

Looking at the searched items, Li Zixi nodded.

After touching the cats outside, you should wash your hands well when you come back. After going to the cat cafe, you should properly dispose of the cat hair. It is best not to put the clothes with cats and Nanako together...

Volume [-] #I want to work here

The troublesome interview work was completed the day before, and today Nanako only needs to organize and write the manuscript. She has been working in this line for many years, so it will not take long to complete it.

It was rainy outside.

At the end of spring, there is greenery everywhere, but the gloomy sky and the rain that does not stop can make people feel a little depressing.Nanako didn't plan to go home at noon today, because her car was sent for maintenance, and she didn't want to squeeze the subway to get off work and go to work again.

Moreover, Li Zixi is not at home today, her postgraduate courses are coming to an end, and from today onwards she has to travel around for her future career.Nanako glanced at her watch, thinking that Li Zixi had already gone out for an interview if nothing happened, so she planned to stay in the office until the afternoon working hours, so she went to the fast food restaurant downstairs to buy a takeaway.

I have been eating nutritious meals these days, and I have to say that burgers and fried chicken taste really delicious.She's alone in the office, so she can relax and enjoy herself.

"It's a pity that people who lose weight can't eat it." Nanako threw the chicken bones into the box and closed it, while thinking about the weighing scale she found last night, "I hope that guy won't be too tight-lipped when he goes out."

After eating and drinking enough, tidying up the desk and opening the windows to ventilate, there is still a distance before the afternoon work time. It is raining outside, even if she has an umbrella, she has nowhere to go.

There is no sign of colleagues coming back for the time being, and the office is deserted.In order not to let this emotion continue to spread, Nanako had no choice but to take out her mobile phone to browse casually. She didn't particularly like to watch TV programs, and occasionally watched variety shows only after the TV was on.

She will not lie on the bed and watch videos all afternoon like Li Zixi, she will only keep refreshing the news, until she sees something she is interested in before clicking on it.

Browsing aimlessly, but God seems to be teasing her, today's news will have two or three related to cats, whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.

Those cat photos kept sliding across the screen of Nanako's phone and appeared again, almost every one of them was very cute.But seeing these, Nanako didn't feel at all relaxed, her heart was full of those words that lied to Li Zixi yesterday.

If Li Zixi got angry with her or had a fight last night, she wouldn't feel so uncomfortable, but Li Zixi behaved so mature and understanding, Nanako put down her phone and leaned on the chair, staring at the rainy scene outside the window in a daze.

From the time she knew Li Zixi, she didn't remember when Li Zixi was particularly self-willed. Although she would often bring up things that came up in her head, every time she was told that she couldn't do it, she stopped pestering her.

Except for the fact that she was going to have a relationship with Nanako.

If other people's children or girlfriends can have Li Zixi's personality, it would be really exciting, but Nanako couldn't be happy at all, thinking of Li Zixi's disappointed expression last night and her heartbroken because of her lies Nanako wanted to slap herself twice.

If it doesn't work, just buy her a cat, but if she buys it back, how can she explain what she said is "allergic to cats"? If she does this, Li Zixi will be happy because she has a cat, but she must be angry with herself, because she I made a fuss.

"It seems to go back to yesterday and beat myself up, otherwise it wouldn't be such a dilemma..." Nanako couldn't think of a way to get down on the table, and the phone happened to be the information of the cat trading market.

Let's click in and have a look...

Thinking so, Nanako clicked in, and pictures of various cats immediately appeared on the screen.Although she has no feelings for cats and even feels a little annoying, but when she sees so many cats that are more cute than herself, it is always Nanako who is also a little bit attacked.

Nanako had a rare smirk on her face when she was looking at her mobile phone. The more you look at the pictures of these cats, the more cute they become. Different breeds have different characteristics, white, blue and gray, and even the most common orange cats are very cute.

"What did Li Zixi say she wants...is it called Ragdoll Cat?" Nanako recalled what Li Zixi said last night, and entered the three words "Muppet Cat" in the search box, and a random message appeared on the screen. Very fairy like pussy.

"No wonder this cat is called a fairy cat. It's really pretty." Nanako muttered softly. She chose a cat that she thought was the most beautiful and clicked in. After browsing the basic information of the cat, her The line of sight stays on the price for a long time.

"This cat costs me an extra half a month's salary?" Nanako couldn't believe her eyes. She knew that a puppet cat would be more expensive than other cats, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive. If you count the cat litter box, cat litter and other things, then I guess this month will be in vain.

The money was used to support Li Zixi who had no job, so Nanako decisively closed the payment interface of this cat, and then looked at the other cats.

The prices are not too different, it can be a few hundred dollars cheaper, but it is still unaffordable.

"I remember there is a Siamese cat..." Nanako recalled Li Zixi's other name. She searched and thought, this cat's name is quite unique, and it must be very expensive.

This time, she didn't pay attention to the appearance of the cat first, but went directly to check the payment interface, which was not too different from what she had imagined. Although the average price did not surpass that of the puppet, it was still a bit expensive.

"What is this? Siamese cats may turn black in winter due to insufficient temperature...the face and tail, or the whole black, and this blackness is irreversible." Nanako carefully read about Siamese The cat’s introduction, when she saw that Siam would turn black in winter, she couldn’t help thinking about it. Siam is really cute when it’s white, with a small body and blue eyes, but it doesn’t feel like this when it turns black. , and since they will all turn black, why not just buy a black cat?

It seems that Siamese cats are not very good either. Nanako doesn't like black cats at all, and she can't find them in a little dim light.

"It's so troublesome..." Nanako couldn't help complaining, and when she was about to go to see if there were any other breeds of cats, she suddenly received a text message from Li Zixi on her phone.

Nothing important, just asked Nanako if she would get off work on time, she wanted Nanako to pick her up, the weather forecast said that the rain would not stop overnight, so she needed Nanako to pick her up.

She forgot to bring her umbrella because she went out in a hurry because she overslept.

"Okay, send me your address, and I'll pick you up." Nanako immediately replied to the text message, then raised her eyebrows and looked at the increasing rain outside, "He's really a worry-free guy .”

Li Zixi's text message interrupted Nanako's strong interest in cats just now, and at the same time, many colleagues returned to the office.The hands of the clock on the wall are getting closer and closer to the working time, and Nanako has to start preparing for the afternoon work.

On the other side, Li Zixi just ran into the interview company's building, she didn't want to get too wet from the rain and leave a bad impression on the interviewer.

Because it was not time for work in the afternoon, there was no one in the whole building, and it was quiet.She sat in the lobby and watched the people in overalls slowly come back here. It was not until after two o'clock that the company became lively.

She is a designer, so the interview place can only be called a design company. The atmosphere here is much more cheerful than other companies. There are no piles of documents and books, and there are not too many rules and regulations to follow. As long as you complete your own tasks seriously, then Everything else is free.

Li Zixi likes this place better, so she also prepares the most for interviews with this company.The interview started at 02:30. She thought that there would be many people competing for the job, but she was the only one who waited.

She even began to wonder if she had misremembered the time, if she was not interviewing today, and waited in the lobby for another ten minutes. She was getting more and more panicked, and she couldn't sit still, so she had to go to the young lady at the front desk Ask what happened.

"Hello... um, um, may I have an interview today?" Li Zixi, who usually seldom communicates with strangers, was still a little nervous at this moment, stuttering.

The young lady at the front desk looked up at the nervous young man and smiled politely, "That's right, it's today. Are you here for an interview?"

"Yes..." Li Zixi nodded, and she looked behind her again, "But I didn't see anyone else coming for the interview except me, so I thought I got the time wrong... "

"There are very few people coming here for interviews." The young lady replied, "Maybe it's because the company has just started and can't compare with big design companies. Young people nowadays prefer to work in big companies. "

Li Zixi nodded and thanked the lovely young lady, then went back to the lobby to wait, until the young lady came to take her to the interview, no one else came.

Walking into the interview hall, this place is completely different from what Li Zixi had in mind. It is not a rigid decoration style. There are many dolls in the small interview hall. The colors of the tables, chairs, benches, and teacups make people feel very relaxed.

There were two women sitting in the middle of the room. They looked a little taller than Nanako, in their 30s, but they were well maintained and had a nice smile.

Li Zixi, who was still nervous at first, instantly relaxed, and it turned out that it was right to come here for the interview.

"How is it? Do you like this decoration?" The interviewer didn't ask questions like "name, age" as soon as he came up, but chatted with Li Zixi like a friend.

"I like it, I really like it!" Li Zixi replied with certainty, then she handed the prepared materials to the two people in front of her, and sat down, "My name is Li Zixi, I really want to work here. "

Volume [-]#she and her shoulder to shoulder

"Li Zixi..." One of them picked up Li Zixi's information and browsed it, then looked up at her, "Are you Chinese?"

"Yes, yes, I am Chinese." Li Zixi answered her immediately, her body was upright, but she was very nervous inside. She didn't know why the examiner emphasized this matter.

"Haha, you don't need to be so nervous, I'm just curious why you didn't go back to China after graduation and stayed here to work." She waved her hand at Li Zixi, trying to calm Li Zixi's nervousness, "We won't do it because of nationality. And if you have any ideas, it’s better to say that we are looking forward to the Chinese people working here, because we know that the Chinese people are very powerful in all aspects.”

These words really made Li Zixi feel completely relieved, she let out a breath, and then said, "I, I prefer to stay here and challenge for a while."

She lied, because she couldn't say that she was gay. She got married here a few days ago, and she wanted to stay because her wife was here.

"It's a good reason. I like young people who dare to challenge." After hearing Li Zixi's words, another examiner opened her mouth. She didn't look at Li Zixi's information, and her attention was always on Li Zixi. Work here, can you tell us why, there are very few people who come to this small company now."

"Ah, about this..." Li Zixi took out a booklet from her bag, which was filled with densely written words, and there were many printed materials on the Internet, "When I was still a graduate student, I knew about this company, and I didn’t pay much attention to it at first because it was a small company, but I thought that no matter what kind of story it was, I had to take it seriously, so I made a lot of materials.”

"Then I found out that I really like the style of this company, whether it is my own working atmosphere or design concept, so I have been planning to come here for an interview after researching." Li Zixi handed over the materials she had compiled to the two examiners , it is full of design examples and some excellent cases of the design company in recent years, each of which is very detailed and has a lot of notes. Although it is written in Chinese that the examiners cannot understand, they can also see that Li Zixi is serious.

"Because it's a small company, I don't care much..." An examiner playedfully repeated Li Zixi's words, and then tapped the shoulders of the people around him with a smile.

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, I, I..." Only then did I realize that I had said something bad, Li Zixi wanted to explain but couldn't say a complete sentence at all, she was so anxious that she almost gave herself two slaps up.

"Hahaha, this kid is too cute." The person who recounted Li Zixi's words burst into laughter, and she returned Li Zixi's compiled materials to her, then shook her head, "It's okay, we are indeed just starting companies, it’s normal to feel that way.”

"That, that... I'm sorry..." Li Zixi scratched her face, secretly rejoicing in her heart. Fortunately, these two have good personalities. If it was another examiner, she would probably be gone by now.

"As expected of a Chinese, you are really serious about doing things." Another brought the topic back on track, and she praised Li Zixi without stinginess at all, "What are you thinking of doing here, or what can you do here? what to do?"

"Well, let's be honest, I don't really know what I can do, I can only say that I will do everything to the best of my ability, as far as what I want to do here, I actually want to be a very good player here. Designer, this way I don’t have to ask others to spend money on food for me every day.” Li Zixi uttered all the thoughts in her heart, and suddenly found that she accidentally talked about her daily life, and finally calmed down She panicked again, "It's not like that, it's just the person I share the rent with, she, she will always buy me a lot of food."

"So do you want to repay her?" The examiner asked back, "The person you share with is treating you well. I don't want this guy. She doesn't want to give me a bite of snacks when she buys them."

"I want to ask your husband to buy it for you. What food do you want to grab from a single guy?" The other immediately retorted, leaving Li Zixi stunned.

Why are these two still arguing.

The bickering between the two of them lasted for several minutes, if Li Zixi hadn't coughed, they wouldn't know how long it would have lasted.

"Ah, the topic is getting too far, that Miss Li Zixi, I appreciate your courage to tell the truth." The examiner straightened his posture and said to Li Zixi, "Although you didn't say what you can do or what you want to do, but At least you can tell the truth, which is much better than those who talk big."

"Then, can I work here?" Li Zixi asked impatiently, she really couldn't wait to receive the news of her employment.

"To be honest, I really want you to work here." One of them said, "But I just read your brochure, and there are a lot of company information on it. If we sign a contract here, you will be in those places." Can't go."

"It's okay, I won't go to other companies." Li Zixi stood up, holding her brochure, "Please let me work here!"

Seeing Li Zixi's flushed face due to excitement, the two of them smiled at the same time, "Then let's sign the contract, I hope you won't regret it."

"Not at all. From the very beginning, I thought that if this place wants me, I won't go anywhere else!" Li Zixi verified the contents of the contract and signed it, "When will I come to work?"

"It will be ready in three days, we need to make room for you first." The examiner pointed at the company's lobby and shook his head, "Look at what they are messing with, I told them that new people will come The interview..."

Li Zixi cheered and ran out of the hall, but quickly retreated. It was already raining heavily outside, and she was drenched in water as soon as she ran out.

It's not yet time for Nanako to get off work, and she can't go anywhere without an umbrella, so she can only sit in the lobby excitedly holding her mobile phone and waiting.

After a long time, the two examiners came out of the interview hall. They saw Li Zixi who was still in the hall at a glance. They noticed that Li Zixi was texting quickly.

"Li Zixi, why are you still here?" One of them walked up to Li Zixi and asked her, "Is there anything else you want to ask us?"

"No no no, I just didn't bring an umbrella, it's raining too much outside." Li Zixi answered her, then looked around, sitting in the middle of the hall, out of tune with the busy people, "Sorry, I can be here Wait a while, if it gets in the way, I can go and stay aside."

"Come here for the interview so excited that you forgot to bring your umbrella, you are so cute." The examiner said with a smile, and then patted Li Zixi on the shoulder, "It's okay, you can just sit here, otherwise I will I'll lend you the umbrella, and I'll be her car and go home at night."

"Thank you very much, but there's no need. Someone will pick me up later." Li Zixi thanked the examiner politely, then looked at the time, "Should be here in a while."

"Is that the person you share the rent with? She spoils you so much that she even came back to pick you up." The other girl sighed, and this sentence made Li Zixi blush.

"Only, it's just on the way..." Li Zixi turned her face away, dying of embarrassment.

"Since this is the case, then you can wait here, we still have work to do." The examiner patted Li Zixi on the shoulder and said, "Then we will meet here in three days, and prepare well."

People only feel how good something is when they lose something. Even with an umbrella, the rain will wet the hem of the clothes, not to mention her shoes, which can almost raise fish.

Fortunately, she didn't go out in her favorite shoes today.

After passing through several streets and several intersections, Nanako finally arrived at the downstairs of Li Zixi's interview company following the location of her mobile phone.Wearing wet shoes, she didn't want to wait any longer, she called Li Zixi directly, telling her to come out and go home.

She already knew the good news about Li Zixi, so when she met Li Zixi, she would rush out and throw herself into her arms.Prepared enough so Nanako didn't end up plunging into the puddle.

Li Zixi, who ran away from the company because she was happy, attracted everyone's attention, including the two examiners.

They witnessed Li Zixi running out of the company and throwing herself into Nanako's arms, and one of them said, "That's the person she shared the rent with, so beautiful...and their relationship is really good."

"Yeah, it's so good that it's weird." Another person said, she found it weird because Li Zixi and Nanako's movements were too intimate.

She was about to go back and continue working, but she suddenly saw something that made her feel strange, that was, during the previous interview, Li Zixi was wearing a ring on her hand, and that ring also appeared on Nanako's hand.

It's obviously a couple, and with the position...

"The relationship between Li Zixi and her co-renter is really... not ordinary." She seemed to be talking to herself, watching Li Zixi and Nanako leave before continuing her work.
