Along the street, it was still dark, and on both sides of the main road were stalls selling food, fruits, vegetables, and agricultural and sideline products for the early morning market. On the other side of the road was the No.5 Store, which had not yet opened for business. In the early morning, shrouded in darkness, there were not many people coming and going. Each stall had its own lighting, but it was so dim that it could only illuminate the faces of the stall owners and the front of the customers' clothes.
沿着街道,天还没有放亮,大路两边都是出早市的摊位,有饮食也有水果蔬菜,农副产品,公路另一侧就是五商店,没到开门营业时间,披着夜色的清晨里来往的人还不多,每个摊位都有自己的照明,但是微弱得只能照亮摊主的脸和顾客的前襟.
Lin Yuhui walked along the sidewalk, guided by the scattered lights on both sides, passing through the early morning market street shaded by weeping willows. At the intersection at the end, he turned left, facing east. The horizon was slightly brightening. Not far from the sidewalk on his left was a red brick wall. Inside was the nursery woodland he often climbed over to play in when he was young. It was filled with young pines, cypresses, and a kind of short shrub with dark green leaves and purple-black fruits that were inedible. He didn't know what it was called, but the memories of running through the green maze they formed seemed to bring him back to his carefree childhood.
林语晖沿着人行道,借着两边星星点点的灯火,穿过垂柳遮蔽的早市街道,在尽头的十字路口左转,正好是面向东方,天边微微见亮,左侧人行道路边不远处就是红砖的围墙,里面是他小时候经常翻墙进去玩耍的苗圃林地,里面都是还长得不高的青松,柏树,还有一种很矮的灌木,墨绿的叶子,紫黑的果实,但是不能吃,他也不知道叫什么,但是在它们组成的绿色迷宫里奔跑的回忆,似乎又把自己拉回到了那无忧无虑的童年时代.
"Beep, beep, beep, beep," the morning alarm clock jolted Lin Yuhui back to reality from his dreams. He opened his eyes, glanced at the ceiling, realizing it wasn't his own home, and then took another look out the window. Finally, his mind pieced together the memories of his journey here, and he understood where his body was located. In this half-life, he had no idea how many places he had drifted to.
"嘀嘀嘀嘀,嘀嘀嘀嘀,"早晨的闹钟把林语晖从梦中又拉回了现实,他睁开眼睛,看了一眼屋顶,不是自己家里,又看了一眼窗外,他脑海中终于整合了一路抵达这里的记忆,明白了自己身体所在的位置.这半生,他已经不知道自己曾经漂泊过多少地方了.
After breakfast, I left my residence early in the morning and didn't walk far before unexpectedly encountering a colleague named Happe at the intersection. He has given himself an adjective-type English name, and his essence is youthfulness. Surprisingly, he also lives nearby.
吃过早餐一早晨离开住处,没走多远居然在路口遇见了一个同事哈佩,他给自己取了一个形容词性的英文名字,他的底蕴就是年轻,居然也在这附近居住.
Hape is a naturally sociable person who can chat with anyone, and of course, she was surrounded by people in the lunchroom. But Lin Yuhui never flocked around her like everyone else did because she was a beautiful woman. Lin Yuhui is a special existence, always going her own way. She sits in the corner without disturbing others, nor is she willing to be disturbed by others, enjoying her food alone and intently.
哈佩是个自来熟的人,和谁都能聊得来,当然午餐的食堂里也没少围着瑟瑞斯转.但是林语晖从来没有因为她是个大美女就像其他人一样众星捧月一般地围着她转,林语晖是个比较特别的存在,都是独来独往,自己坐在角落里不打扰别人,也不愿意被别人打扰,独自专心享受自己的食物.
As they walked along, chatting casually with Happe about trivial topics, they unknowingly entered the factory area. Happe was heading to the production workshop, while Lin Yuhui was going to the office. They were going in different directions, but Lin Yuhui sensed that Happe had some unstable thoughts about his job position during their conversation. So he advised him, saying,
一路上一边走一边和哈佩闲聊着无关紧要的话题,不知不觉已经进了厂区,哈佩将要去生产车间,林语晖将要去办公室,是不同的方向,但是他听出哈佩在谈话间对于自己的工作岗位有些不太稳定的想法,便劝他说,
"I have changed my workplace several times in my career, and the number of rejected offers has reached double digits. I have worked in state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, and foreign-funded enterprises. The working environment and pressure here are already very rare. I'll just settle down and work here."
"我在自己的职业生涯里换过的工作单位,算上拒掉的offer已经两位数了,国企民企外企都干过,像这里的工作环境和工作压力已经很难得了,就在这安心干吧."
Perhaps due to his technical career or his personality, Lin Yuhui always expresses his true opinions straightforwardly, without much regard for others' feelings.
或许是林语晖的技术工作生涯因素,或许是他的性格使然,他总是直截了当地表达自己的心中真实的看法,不太在意别人的感受.
When I walked into the office in the morning, Thrace and Safire were already there. They were standing in the empty seat opposite Lin Yuhui's desk, engaged in conversation. They paused when they saw Lin Yuhui walk in.
早上走进办公室,瑟瑞斯和萨菲尔已经到了,两人站在林语晖工位对面的空位置,在交谈着什么,看见林语晖走进来就停了下来.
Ceres looked over and noticed by Lin Yuhui that she didn't wear makeup as usual today. Although her facial skin wasn't as smooth and moisturized as it usually was after makeup, it gently exuded the natural vitality inherent to youth. Her unbleached and undyed hair was tied up in a bun like a cloud of blue at the back of her head. The light blue narrow-collar white shirt simply outlined her youthful figure, full of youthful rhythm, as if she had returned to her high school years. Lin Yuhui's gaze couldn't help but linger on her for a moment.
瑟瑞斯望过来,被林语晖注意到她今天没有像往常一样化妆,面容的肌肤虽然没有以往妆后的平滑温润,却轻轻洋溢着青春自有的自然生机.没有漂染的发丝,如青云般一个发髻盘在脑后,淡蓝窄领的白衬衫简单勾勒出她青春的身形,又饱含年轻的韵律,仿佛回到了高中年代,林语晖的眼光不由得在她身上停留了片刻.
"Sometimes, it's nice to go without makeup," Thrace whispered to Safir while laughing,
"有时候素颜也很好," 瑟瑞斯一边笑着一边和一边的萨菲尔小声说,
Every morning after arriving at the office, she and Safir would chat gaily for a while. This morning, she was even more enthusiastic because Lin Yuhui had given her two extra glances in the morning. Attracting male attention seems to be the desire of all mature women, but Lin Yuhui did not react to her almost daily different looks and outfits. It was only when she took off that delicate appearance that she truly caught his attention.
她和萨菲尔每天早上到办公室以后都会叽叽喳喳地闲聊一会儿,今天早上她更有兴致,因为林语晖早上多看了她两眼,吸引男性的注意力似乎是所有成熟女性的愿望,但是林语晖并没有对她几乎每天都不同的形象和装束有什么反应,直到她卸下了那份精致,才真正吸引到了他的注意力.
Lin Yuhui indeed dislikes gaudy adornments. He prefers the natural purity of appearance and the flawless sincerity of the heart. In the few days since joining this office, he has spoken to Thrace only a handful of times. The reason is simple: he has long passed the age of dreaming and doesn't want to waste energy on impractical things. Moreover, he is well aware of the potential destructive power of beautiful women in terms of emotions, so why bother with unnecessary troubles.
林语晖确实不喜欢修饰的艳丽,他喜欢外表天然的纯净,和内心无暇的真诚.加入这个办公室这些天来他和瑟瑞斯说话的次数屈指可数,原因很简单,他早已经过了做梦的年纪,对于不切合实际的事情不想浪费精力,更何况他深知美女在感情方面潜在的杀伤力,又何必自寻烦恼呢.
However, during his brief interactions with Seris, he noticed that her large eyes were captivating, resembling the peach blossom eyes of a beauty. He wondered if she was only like this towards him or if it was the same for everyone. But at least she was a girl with sparkle in her eyes, whether it was innate or cultivated. She had that extra touch of intelligence compared to ordinary people, so her charm extended beyond just her appearance.
但是他也在短短的几次与瑟瑞斯的对视中发现,她那双大眼睛很是勾人心魄,美人桃花眼,只是不知道她是只对自己这样还是对别人也这样,但是至少这是一个眼中有神采的姑娘,不管是天生的还是后天养成的,她比普通人多了那一分灵气,所以她的吸引力不仅仅是相貌.
However, even if she really had feelings for him, Lin Yuhui knew deep down that she wasn't right for him. She often stayed out late at night, and as a girl, no matter the reason, this was unacceptable to Lin Yuhui's personal values. But what if she changed? Even if she had once been
不过即便她真的对自己有意思,林语晖的内心也很清楚她不适合自己,因为她夜不归宿,作为一个女孩,不管什么原因,这都是林语晖的个人价值观所不能接受的.可是?她要是改了呢?即便她曾经是...
All thoughts just flashed through Lin Yuhui's mind. She still had to walk her own path in life with down-to-earth steps, and familiarizing herself with the product categories of this company and Excel calculation tables was the current task.
所有念头只是在林语晖脑中一闪而过,自己还是要脚踏实地走自己的人生道路,而熟悉这家公司的产品类别和Excel计算表格就是当前的任务.
"David, how do you add pictures to this file?" Seris asked from the side,
"大卫,你看怎么把图片加入这个文件?"瑟瑞斯在旁边问,
Lin Yuhui took a glance. He didn't use the 2016 version of Word frequently and wasn't familiar with it, but how could he refuse a beautiful girl asking for help.
林语晖看了一眼,2016版的word他也不常用,不太熟悉,但是有美女求助怎么好拒绝呢.
He moved his chair closer, looked at the screen, and quickly searched his memory for his experience using Word 2003. Back then, he used the "Insert Picture" command, but scanning the screen, he found that there was no such icon in the 2016 version,
他把椅子靠近一些,看着屏幕,飞速搜索着自己脑海中使用word2003的经验,那时候是使用插入图片命令,但是扫视屏幕,在2016版没有那个图标,
"Take a look at the Insert menu," he said, noticing that it was clickable, and pointed it out to Ceres as he spoke,
"看一下插入菜单,"他注意到了有它可以点开,一边说一边指给瑟瑞斯,
As she clicked, the toolbar of the image button flashed,
随着她的点击,图片按钮的工具条闪现了,
"The picture, from this device," Lin Yuhui said, pointing it out to Ceres, feeling relieved that he had finally not lost face in front of a beautiful woman.
"图片,从此设备,"林语晖说着指给瑟瑞斯,心中舒了一口气,自己终于没有在美女面前丢分.
Ceres inserted the image,
瑟瑞斯插进了图片,
"What should we do?" Seeing that the position of the picture was not suitable and the text was running around the picture, she asked urgently,
"这怎么办?"看见图片位置不太适合,文字在图片的周围乱跑,她急忙问,
The following are minor matters, which Lin Yuhui is well aware of,
接下来的就是小事情了,林语晖对此了熟于心,
"Double-click the image. Look, there is font wrapping. Click that button and select 'float above text'. Then you can adjust the position of the image, and the text around it will not be affected,"
"双击图片,你看那有字体环绕,那个按钮点一下,选择浮于文字上方,然后你就可以调整图片位置了,它周围的文字也不会受影响,"
After watching Ceres complete the operation she just mentioned, Lin Yuhui continued to tell her,
看着瑟瑞斯做完刚才所说的操作,林语晖又接着告诉她,
"You can see that the asymmetric borders of the picture also affect its aesthetics. There is a crop icon, you can try to crop the borders of the picture,"
"你看图片不对称的边框也影响着美观,那有一个裁剪图标,你可以试一下裁剪图片的边框,"
After following the instructions and completing the operation, Ceres turned to Lin Yuhui and smiled, her smile sweet and charming. Lin Yuhui felt as if she could see into Ceres' heart through the pupils of her beautiful big eyes. Although it felt wonderful, Lin Yuhui couldn't help but be wary, wondering if she was about to fall into Ceres' gentleness.
按照指导操作完毕,瑟瑞斯扭头对着林语晖一笑,笑容甜美动人,林语晖似乎感觉自己可以透过她那双美丽大眼睛的瞳孔看进她的内心,虽然感觉很美好,但是林语晖不由得警觉,是否?自己将要陷入她的温柔.
