Delayed confession

The stars were twinkling, and the wind with water vapor gently hit the shore, making a rustling sound.

From his friend's fragmented explanation, Xu Weixi roughly understood the whole story.

An adopted girl fell in love with the brother of her adoptive family, but the brother was not interested in her. In a fit of anger, the little girl got together with a gangster at school. The brother felt that he had not handled the matter well, and to make up for it, he indulged her in everything.

The appearance of her good friend made the little girl feel a sense of crisis, so she kept hindering their relationship.

"So, are you going to let it go?"

Xu Weixi raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears from the girl's eyes, and asked softly.

"My mind tells me to let go," Joey wiped away tears.

"But I, but I can't help thinking about him."

Can't control it?

For some unknown reason, Xu Weixi turned around and looked in the direction of Gu Mochuan.

In the dark night, the man held the car window with his bony hands, sitting upright, as if he had something on his mind.

After retracting my gaze, I sent him a message.

[I will go back with Qiao Qiao in a while, you don't have to wait for me. ]

Gu Mochuan: [It’s okay, I’ll take you there. ]

Gu Mochuan looked at the top of his phone. The other party was typing a prompt but no content was sent. He looked in their direction disappointedly.

[I will protect you from behind your car.]

An hour later, after coaxing her crying friend to sleep, Xu Weixi came to the small terrace wrapped in a thick shawl.

There was a lot of noise downstairs, some were setting off fireworks, some were singing, and some were doing juggling and magic.

The terrace of Joey's house is close to the central street. If she leans over slightly, she can see the magician walking from the secret compartment to behind the curtain, posing elegantly, waiting for the curtain to open, enjoying everyone's cheers and applause.

Whether it is magic or life, everyone wants to see what they want to see, regardless of how it comes from or whether it is true or false.

She supported her chin with both hands, trying to stay sleepy, but becoming more and more awake.

The next day,

Xu Weixi, who finally got three days off, dragged Qiao Yi out of bed early, and the two of them went shopping for three days, sweeping through all the major shopping malls in Xiqiao and neighboring cities. They were so tired that they fell into bed as soon as they came back every day, and had no time to think about other things.

On the fourth day, Xu Weixi was about to take his annual leave, but was stopped by Qiao Yi who came out of the toilet.

"Wei Xi, I'm fine. I'm really fine. I don't want to go shopping anymore. I'm in pain all over."

Joey wrapped himself in the quilt and spoke coquettishly in a muffled voice.

"Are you really okay? I still have five days of annual leave to take." Xu Weixi peeled her out of the quilt with some concern, looked into her eyes and asked seriously.

"It's okay, it's really okay. I was so tired these past two days that I can't even remember what he looks like," Joey said as she wrapped the quilt tighter. She really didn't expect her friend's physical strength to be so terrifying.

"Go to work and earn money to support me!"

"Okay, call me if you have anything."

"Well, go ahead, go ahead."

With the sound of the door closing, Joey's straight back suddenly bent. He silently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and turned on his computer to check his work emails.

-

As the end of the year approaches, everyone is so busy that they are overwhelmed. Some people even sleep in the office.

Xu Weixi was also extremely busy and didn't bother to check any messages other than work messages, and her relationship with Gu Mochuan was also put on hold.

……

"Lao Gu, your partner is amazing. This is the first time I've heard of someone being able to pause in a relationship."

He Yang, who was chatting with a beautiful woman in a booth at the bar, accidentally saw his WeChat interface and laughed out loud.

The man raised his head slightly and glanced at him, then sighed in pretended helplessness, stood up and patted his shoulder.

"If you're jealous of me being single, just say so, single dog."

This sentence made the girls around him cover their mouths and laugh.

"Hey, where are you going? Didn't you agree to drink with me today?"

The man waved the hand holding the phone and walked out of the bar without looking back.

The cold and damp air in his nose made him tighten his clothes and call a headhunter back.

"I can start work tomorrow."

The brown leather jacket, black work pants, slender figure and impeccable face have already made people around him eager to make a move.

Gu Mochuan rejected everyone's advances and drove away quickly.

"Wei Xi, why do you think you are so handsome? That woman is a celebrity's fan and she took pictures of you secretly." Wang Lingling put the phone in front of her.

After being busy for several days, the man finally couldn't bear it anymore and went to buy coffee for his colleague. The two of them drove directly to the very far away Sink Coffee.

"Hey, why does this bar look so familiar?" Wang Lingling touched her chin in confusion after zooming in.

"Across the street, where you were not allowed to park just now." Xu Weixi pointed calmly across the street.

Looking at the handsome guy surrounded by beautiful women, Wang Lingling swallowed her saliva and said,

"This kind of man is only suitable for dating, not marriage, and he can't keep it."

After a while, he smiled and asked, "Is what I said a bit scumbag?"

The two smiled at each other, then walked out of the coffee shop carrying their things.

On the way back, Xu Weixi suddenly looked up at the neon night scene, and the image of Gu Mochuan politely rejecting others came to her mind.

The closer you get to such a good person, the more you will want to have him or her all to yourself, or even hide him or her.

"Wei Xi, your phone is ringing."

She put away her thoughts, glanced at the screen, thought again and again and finally picked up the phone, her voice was hoarse,

"Hey."

"Wei Xi, go back home tomorrow."

Fang Yuan's voice was unusually serious, and she couldn't help but straighten up.

"Is it urgent? I have to go to work tomorrow, so it's not a good idea..."

Before he could even utter the word "leave", he was interrupted, "You must take leave. You must come back tomorrow."

The space in the car was limited to begin with, and Wang Lingling heard every word Fang Yuan said. She backed up the car while helping her out,

"If you have an emergency at home, go back first. When you come back later, send me the things and I will help you make them."

Xu Weixi thanked him softly, but said that it was not necessary, she could just stay up all night.

During this special period, everyone has a huge workload, and there is no need to hold back the team.

As the sun rose from the horizon and shone through the window onto the girl's face, she stopped typing on the keyboard.

She stretched with her eyes closed, let out a long breath, looked at her colleagues who were staggering around her, and carefully walked out of the office door with her bag.

-

As soon as I entered the door, I saw my aunt sitting on the sofa, cracking melon seeds.

In front of her were various expensive fruits that Fang Yuan usually couldn't afford to buy, and she was surrounded by melon seed shells and fruit peels.
