One day, Lu Xue went to Han Xiaolv's house for a meal. As soon as she entered the door, she collapsed onto the sofa, stared at the chandelier above her head, and said with a hint of melancholy.
"I feel like my life has become a bit out of the ordinary."
Han Xiaolv had just ordered takeout on her phone. She looked up at Lu Xue and said, "What's so out of the ordinary? Tell me about it!"
Lu Xue thought for a while. "I feel like my life has suddenly turned really weird... Could there really be demons and ghosts in this world, or some kind of energy field that we can't see? All in all, it seems like there's something magical that has attached itself to me..."
Han Xiaolv was quite optimistic about this. After listening to Lu Xue's analysis, she slapped her thigh and gave her a suggestion.
"You can incorporate this into your works! Aren't you in a creative slump lately? I suggest you draw a painting titled 'The Invisible Man'!"
Lu Xue stared deeply at Han Xiaolv and thought seriously for a while.
She felt that her taste in friends might really be quite different. If it were a normal person, they would probably help her rationally think from a life perspective about who had left these things.
But her friend was Han Xiaolv, a person who didn't think like a normal person.
Han Xiaolv easily accepted Lu Xue's theory about ghosts and thought it was actually a pretty good artistic inspiration.
She pulled Lu Xue and enthusiastically discussed it with her. She also expounded on her own wild ideas, and the two of them delved deeper and deeper into the topic.
In the end, Lu Xue, with her incredibly wild imagination, looked up at the sky as she walked out of Han Xiaolv's house. Suddenly, she felt that her life was full of magical power.
Han Xiaolv leaned out of the window on the seventh floor, waved the towel in her hand at Lu Xue downstairs, and shouted at her.
"Come on, Lu Xue! You have to believe that our lives are full of miracles everywhere. Fly towards the light source! Let that transparent person be your most dazzling guardian star! You can change the time - space trajectory of the past and the future together and find the best answer in the parallel world!"
An aunt who was coming back from buying groceries downstairs heard this and looked up. Her eyes were filled with a strange disbelief.
She stared at Han Xiaolv, who was happily waving the towel above, and then looked at Lu Xue beside her, who was deep in thought with a solemn face. Suddenly, she shivered, rubbed the goosebumps on her back, and quickened her pace, scurrying back into her house as if escaping.
...
Time flew by quickly, and it was almost the end of the month in a blink of an eye.
Lu Xue counted on her calendar. In three days, it would be the day when she was supposed to meet Mr. Chen.
If she could successfully break through her creative slump after meeting Mr. Chen that day, then she probably wouldn't need to stay in this city anymore.
Thinking of this, Lu Xue felt a bit reluctant.
After all, during her time in the company, she had been taken good care of by Mu Yuze and Yan Hua. Since she was going to quit soon, should she prepare some gifts for them?
On this day, Mu Yuze arrived at the dressing room behind his office early to change his clothes.
He entered and rummaged through several drawers for a tie. When he opened one of the cabinets, he saw that all his things had been neatly sorted by Lu Xue in color order. A warm feeling welled up in Mu Yuze's heart, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
He then opened the next drawer in sequence, but his gaze froze.
In this drawer, there was a neatly - arranged unopened gift box, wrapped in an extremely formal velvet ribbon. Only a small transparent edge of the packaging showed that it was a suit inside.
He didn't remember ordering a suit recently, and he didn't think he would use such a formal and fashionable suit gift - box packaging.
He picked up the box and weighed it in his hand for a long time. Suddenly, an uncertain thought emerged in his mind. Could this be a gift from Lu Xue?
Normally, the dressing room was taken care of by Lu Xue, and he rarely rummaged through things in it himself.
It was very likely that Lu Xue had bought this suit, hidden it in the client's dressing room first, and would take it out in front of him when the time was right.
When this thought popped into his mind, Mu Yuze felt extremely happy.
Just then, Lu Xue came in with a cup of coffee. "Boss, the partner is urging us. We have to arrive at their venue in an hour. We need to set off now and leave some time for traffic jams on the way. Are you ready?"
Mu Yuze coughed lightly, put the gift box back in its original position, closed the drawer, and made sure he didn't show any signs of his excitement. Then he coughed again, walked out, and nodded calmly.
"I'm ready. Let's go to the next venue."
The two of them went out for an event. When they came back, it was already afternoon.
Mu Yuze walked into his office calmly, but inside, he was constantly looking forward to when Lu Xue would give him the gift. He waited all afternoon in anticipation.
In the evening, after Mu Yuze came out of a meeting in the conference hall downstairs, he saw Yan Hua showing off in front of several female colleagues.
