C105 Together for Mid-autumn Festival

"Well, I'll think about it." Maysan blinked at me, his eyes bright.

After familiarizing ourselves with our work environment for the next month, Mason and I wandered around the Euclidean community in a bored manner. After a while, I couldn't bear to look for a place to rest.

It wasn't because it was tiring to walk a few steps, but every time I went to a place, I would meet some employees who knew me and respectfully say hello to me. "Greetings, Madam." I kept smiling and nodding my head, and the muscles on my face were a little stiff from the laughter.

She teased me, "You didn't feel anything when you were at school. After coming to Europe, you found out that you and I know a few books that are equivalent to a huge sum of money. A casual internship is the European Group's design department, even if I submitted my resume when I just graduated, I wouldn't be 100% sure that I would be able to apply for it."

I smiled faintly but didn't say anything. I had long known that Ou Jia Rui didn't even have time to go out to eat since he had been busy working for the past few days. He was only sent to the CEO's office by his secretary or by his family's kitchen after he had finished cooking and was no longer bothering or worrying about Ou Jia Rui.

Because it wasn't time to get off work yet, Mason and I enjoyed the warm, fresh cuisine in the staff dining room without having to line up. After a good meal, we decided to welcome our work in high spirits in the afternoon.

When I entered Euclidean, I wanted to learn, so both I and Mason were very dedicated and serious in completing the tasks assigned to us by the chief designer, and often asked questions that I didn't understand.

Seeing that Mason and I were both our junior sisters and were so modest and studious, the designer also had a good impression of us. She even told us, "Don't always call me Director from now on, we are all sisters in the same sect. If you don't mind, you can call me Sister Zhuo."

The Chief Executive Officer's name was Lin Zhuo. At first glance, it didn't sound like a lady's name, but after truly interacting with her, she felt that Lin Zhuo was truly a person who lived up to her name. Although his appearance could be said to belong to the elegant and beautiful group, whether it was the design style of the work, or his swift and decisive attitude at work, Lin Zhuo always gave people the feeling that he was straightforward and capable.

For the purpose of learning and charging, although he is an assistant, most of the tasks assigned to us by Lin Zhuo are to appreciate and study some representative works in the history of Chinese and foreign design, so that we can both get into the role as soon as possible.

I had only been working in Europe for a few days when it was the Mid-Autumn Festival. In the past, I would leave everything to come to B City to find Lin Qian and then prepare a table of food for the Lin Family. But this year, I don't have to work that hard.

Mason didn't have much family in B City, so when it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, in order to not disturb me and O'Jia Rui, she wanted to find a random bar to play for the night, but I forced her to stay in the Ou family.

After all, one of us is a man without a family, and the other is a man with a better family than the other, and we have to be together to keep each other warm.

Mrs. Ou called Ou Jia Rui repeatedly in the morning to urge him to come back home for the holidays. Because of the series of unpleasant experiences after Mrs. Ou's birthday, neither I nor Ou Jia Rui brought up the matter of asking me to go with them to the Ou family's old home.

Ojira wanted to make an excuse saying that the company was busy and stayed with me in B City, but I forced him to go back.

Originally, Ou Jia Rui and the Ou family members didn't have a good time because she wanted to forcefully stay with me. If at this moment, we were to have our reunion due to me rejecting the chance to have a reunion with Mrs. Ou, then Mrs. Ou's heart would probably loathe me even more.

Besides, I still have a bit of selfishness in my heart. If Ojira somehow made Mason feel uneasy, then it would be more convenient for the two of us if he left.

Although the servants of the Ou family are resident in the Ou family, they all have their own family members, and most of them live in B city. After asking for Ou Jia Rui's consent, I gave them all a day's holiday early in the morning.

At noon, because everyone had left one after another, there were only two people left in Ou Jia Rui's huge villa. We simply went out to find a western restaurant to have a meal.

"Hey, Yaoyao, is it really okay if you don't go with Boss Ou to see his family?" While we were eating, Mason was still asking me that question with some concern.

I comforted her, "Aiya, you've asked this question more than twenty times already since morning. It really doesn't matter. Ou Jia Rui's family members originally don't like me. If I go, I'll only be adding to their family's troubles." It was meant to comfort her, but everything I said was from the bottom of my heart.

"Alright, then what should we do tonight? Should we buy some good food and cook for ourselves?" I happily accepted Mason's offer.

The two of us busied ourselves all afternoon in the Ou family kitchen. We cooked a lot of delicious dishes from the menu that we had never done before, and I was in the mood to make a small cake from the oven in the kitchen. The sky had just darkened, and more than half of the dining hall's tables had already been set up.

Before leaving, Ocari had told me that I could use anything in the house. I took his precious red wine and poured two glasses for Mason and me.

"Cheers, happy Mid-Autumn Festival, darling." Mason raised her glass to me excitedly.

"Happy Mid-Autumn."

"Do you know? This is probably the happiest reunion I've had in years. " Mason took another sip of the red wine in her glass. "I can see that CEO Ou really knows how to enjoy life. It tastes good."

I smiled and said, "This is also the happiest time I've ever had. Quickly eat it! We didn't have many things to make so if we don't move now, it'll get cold."

The two of us chatted and laughed as we ate. It was the first time that I felt the warmth of a holiday with my family. Although Mason wasn't exactly my family in a strict sense, it was precisely because of this feeling tonight that made me feel warm and real when I think back to my previous friendship.

There was no need to talk about Mid-Autumn Festival with my grandfather and his family. Every time, I would carefully eat something and then quickly slip away under the supercilious eyes of my aunt. My existence would make them feel uncomfortable. When I was at Lin Qian's house, Uncle Lin and Auntie Lin doted on Lin Qian a lot. The atmosphere of the festival was always very strong, but it was still only their family. In the end, I was still an outsider.

After a few drinks, we cleared the mess of the table and went out to chat on the garden swing.

Although it was only early autumn, the courtyard at night was still as cool as the night water. I went upstairs and grabbed two coats, one for myself, and the other for Maysan's shoulders. Then I casually sat down on the swing next to Maysan and stared at the moon in the sky with her.

This silence didn't last long. The video call from Ou Jia Rui broke the silence.

Yao Yao, where are you? In the video, Ou Jia Rui was frowning slightly. From the looks of the surroundings, it seemed like she was calling me from her room.

"The two of us are on the swing in the yard right now."

"So it's like this. How did the two of them eat tonight? All the servants are on vacation. They wouldn't have brought their meals out on the day of the reunion, right?" Ou Jia Rui teased.

"Hmph, it's not like I don't know how to cook. Tonight, we're having a good meal and you're the one who doesn't have a good mouth. Next time, if you get the chance to cook, you'll have to cook with me."

"Yeah, I'm really sorry." On the other end of the phone, Ou Jia Rui laughed softly. "I'll be going back to City B tomorrow. Both of you should rest early tonight. Be careful."

"En, alright. Bye bye." Afraid to leave Mason alone, I quickly cut off the call.

She was holding a glass of mango juice in one hand as she slowly drank it, "Why don't you have more conversations with Boss Europe? The two of us still have to live separately from each other."

I didn't know if it was because I was really afraid of Mason's guilt or because I hadn't had a good talk about what happened to me in a long time, but with the moonlight and the faint smell of alcohol on my body, I said, "Really, the Ou Family members really don't want me to go back. They even want me to disappear forever.

After a little surprise, she immediately recovered and didn't press me or interrupt me. She just listened quietly to my story of the past six months, and when she told me about her miscarriage by a woman who had been involved with a man and a woman, she came over and gently hugged me, patting me on the back.

Even though my tone was sorrowful, when it came to the matters of the past that were hurt by Lin Qian and Ou Jingyi, when I mentioned the child that died before he was even born, I didn't have any tears left.

"It will get better, really, believe me, it will get better." She didn't know how to comfort me, so she simply repeated what she had said. She didn't know that being able to stay by my side and listen to these words was already a great comfort to me.

As if trying to comfort me, Mason suddenly asked, "Didn't you always want to know why I stayed in B City and didn't want to leave? Actually, I was waiting for someone who might not even remember me anymore, but I think that one day I will meet him, regardless of their identities."

I was so distracted by Mason's story that I had long forgotten my own sadness. I gave her a look of concentration to get on with the story, and then I realized that I wasn't the only one who was suffering in this world, and that I was far less fortunate than she was.
