As the night fell, the sky was dotted with stars, and occasionally a meteor fell. It was said that if anyone happened to see it at this time, his wish would be definitely fulfilled.
After dinner, Grace suggested to take little Hugh to the square outside the community for a walk. They hadn't gone out for a long time.
Little Hugh jumped happily. In Beijing, there were hundreds of thousands of tall buildings. Some neighbors living beside them were not familiar with each other, and few people came to visit them.
So when she mentioned that they were going to go downstairs for a walk, he was very happy.
Holding little Hugh's hand, Grace went downstairs. Nora quickly cleaned up the rubbish in the house and threw it away.
The square was very lively. Some people were selling goods, some were singing, and the most eye-catching ones were the old ladies in the square, who were really good at dancing.
Following the rhythm of the music, little Hugh's buttocks twisted, which was very cute.
The three of them found a stone bench and sat down.
"How are you looking for a job these days? Is everything going well?" asked Nora.
"College students are everywhere in Beijing now. There are more people who lose their jobs than those who find jobs. It's not easy for me as well."
Nora persuaded, "Take your time. Don't be in a hurry to find a job. Haste makes waste."
Grace looked up at the sky and sighed, "Everything is predestined. Finding a job is the same as falling in love. I must feel satisfied with the job I like. When the fate comes, a good job will naturally come."
She admired Grace very much. She was decisive and decisive in everything, including her work and her feelings.
She remembered that when she was two years old, a boy in another department pursued Grace. That boy majored in art, especially with a literary style. He had long hair, wore gold rimmed glasses, and wore a shabby denim clothes. He was handsome and cool.
Every day, he would wait for her to have dinner under the girls' dormitory. He would put all the delicious food and nutritious food into her plate, which made others jealous.
The boy could stay by her side all night because she got the fever.
Later, Grace didn't like him to keep his long hair. He cut it and didn't like him to go through holes. He changed a lot for her. That boy had done a lot.
The two of them fell in love. They clung to each other every day. They loved each other so much that they were devoted to each other.
It seemed that they do not marry other but only marry each other. Since they loved each other so deeply, they would love each other till death.
As time went by, perhaps it was because they were too young, or perhaps it was because they loved each other too much, two years later, they quarreled almost every day, and their love had become a burden.
People were fickle. Since they didn't love each other anymore, there was no need to tangle with each other. The reason why the two of them were together was to be happy. Now that they were unhappy, so they should break up happily.
On the night when Grace broke up with that boy, she left without hesitation. If they broke up, they couldn't be lovers but could be friends, which was what Grace had said before.
Later, she heard that the boy found a girl of the same department. Maybe she had the same hobbies, or perhaps she had a good character and temper. In short, she lived a happy life now.
Grace didn't regret the love, nor did she regret the breakup, because she had grown a lot, learned a lot and got a lot.
So, finding a job was the same as finding a lover. It also needed fate.
