Chapter 4: The Night Without Faith
There may really be a night that is too dark to get through and a tomorrow that is too late to wait for in this world. I am stuck in the long darkness, losing my faith and rotting alone.

Because the work was completed quickly today, several seniors suggested that everyone go to KTV to sing and relax after work . Yu Nansheng was probably in a bad mood and didn't like places like KTV, so he said he was not feeling well and left.
I responded immediately. After all, I was able to win the competition with Yu Nansheng thanks to the votes of these people.
After so many years of struggling in this society, I understand the importance of relationships and connections. You may be in high spirits today, but you may be kicked back to hell because you offended someone.
Of course, I don't want to be the one who gets kicked back into hell.
So, when a group of people in the newspaper office were singing happily, I stood up, raised the glass in my hand, and said, "Thanks for your care in selecting the topic before. To express my gratitude to all the seniors and colleagues, I will treat you to beer today."
Hearing this, Sister Lin smiled and said politely, "Xiao Lu, you don't need to keep this in mind. We chose your proposal only because we think you have potential and vision. It's really great that you can do this at your age."
After Sister Lin spoke , other editors and reporters also began to discuss the plan that Yu Nansheng and I had proposed. I just responded modestly, but to be honest, I felt a little proud.
Isn't Yu Nansheng a messenger of justice? Isn't she a top student from a prestigious university? But in the end, she still lost to me.
Maybe I'm not a good person at heart. Every time I see her living so simply and hard, I can't help but feel a desire to destroy her.
I turned my eyes and saw Shen Yuxi sitting in the corner in silence.
At this moment, he stared at me without blinking, his brows knitted together, his eyes cold and full of disappointment. He didn't even touch his glass, and he didn't seem to like such occasions. His expression was too serious, which was out of tune with the atmosphere in the room.
Seeing his eyes and expression, I instantly felt like I was doused with a basin of cold water, and the spark of joy in my heart was instantly extinguished.
At this time, Han Shao, who was standing next to him, raised his glass towards me and said, "Xiao Lu, come on, let's have a drink to congratulate you on winning the topic selection competition. You have made me realize what it means to be young and promising ."
Obviously, these were all the good words I wanted to hear, but at this moment, I could only turn around and give him a slightly awkward smile: "Thank you, this is all because of your good teaching, Master... But I feel a little uncomfortable, so I won't drink today."
After dealing with him, my gaze returned to Shen Yuxi again, and I guessed his thoughts in my mind.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.
I saw Shen Yuxi stood up with a frown on his face, walked towards me from the corner of the private room, and then said lightly as he passed by me: "Come out with me."
To be honest, I have suffered too many condemning or disgusting looks from others over the years, so I have long learned not to care about other people's looks and comments. But for some reason, Shen Yuxi's eyes or words would make me nervous, as if I was back in my childhood, afraid of being scolded by the teacher for doing something wrong.
But I obviously performed very well, even much better than Yu Nansheng. My plan was recognized by most people, while Yu Nansheng couldn't even look at news and society with a mature perspective. I obviously won her over.
But why did Shen Yuxi always defend Yu Nansheng? After her topic was rejected, she even put it away and started to revise it.
That's not fair to me.
