Chapter 1

"It's actually... it's you."

Ji Xiuran stood up in disbelief, his eyes flickered slightly, the hand holding the paper cup unconsciously shook heavily, the warm water was shaken out, and the back of his hand was instantly wet.Warm water dripped down the fingertips and fainted on the glass tabletop, and the person standing not far away was also staring at him motionlessly.

Lu Jingyao stood stiffly. He thought of thousands of ways to meet again, and even thought that they would never have the chance to meet again, but he never thought that the two would meet again in such a scene so unexpectedly.

The memories buried deep in his heart were pieced together again, Lu Jingyao stared at the person in front of him intently, unwilling to let go of an inch of skin.It was still the face in memory, but the facial features had faded and grown taller, but the shoulders were as thin as ever.The other party stood there so quietly, but Lu Jingyao's heart was in a mess.

"Ten years..." After a long time, he took a deep breath, his Adam's apple moved, and tried his best to hide the indescribable complex emotions in his heart, and put on a calm smile, and said, "Long time no see, Xiuran."

Ji Xiuran didn't speak, but his trembling eyelashes betrayed the restlessness in his heart.After a while, he seemed to come back to his senses, twitched the corners of his stiff mouth, and replied, "Yeah, long time...no see."

Lu Jingyao walked slowly in front of Ji Xiuran, taking advantage of his height to look down at him, restlessly trying to lift his fingers hanging on one side to do something, but in the end he didn't do anything.Lu Jingyao turned around silently and walked to the water dispenser, took another cup of hot water, and handed it to Ji Xiuran.

"Thank you." Ji Xiuran took the paper cup, as if hiding his embarrassment, lowered his head and took a few sips of warm water, then heard Lu Jingyao in front of him speak again, asking, "It's been so many years, how are you?"

Ji Xiuran was taken aback when he heard the words, then nodded slightly, humming.He was born prematurely. Although he didn't have congenital heart disease, his heart was not very good compared to ordinary people because of his premature birth. But he didn't expect that ten years later, Lu Jingyao still remembered it.

"You..." Lu Jingyao was about to say something more, but there was a knock on the office door. He turned his head and saw his secretary, Xiao Li, standing outside the door, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Lu, the meeting is about to start." It's started, you..."

"Understood, I'll go over now." Lu Jingyao responded, turned back to look at Ji Xiuran, and said in a low voice after a few seconds of silence: "Xiu Ran, you go to work first, if you have any questions, you can ask Secretary Li."

After speaking, he thought for a while, and added seriously: "You can also come to me at any time." After speaking, he picked up the documents on the table and left quickly.

Ji Xiuran, who was standing there, was in a trance for a while before regaining his sanity.He was originally a professor at the University of Political Science and Law. He had the idea of ​​resigning a month ago. It happened that a friend of a headhunting company told him that an executive from a well-known multinational company was very interested in him, so he went to meet him.

The remuneration given by executives is much higher than that of university professors. Although the time is not as free as in universities, it is close to home and convenient for work.

So the two reached an agreement on the spot, and Ji Xiuran immediately asked the school to resign, and a month later he would work as a legal consultant for this company.Everything is very normal, but he did not expect to meet an old friend here.

At the same time, Lu Jingyao was having a meeting in the conference room. He who had always been concentrating on his work unexpectedly deserted today. He could not think of Ji Xiuran's stunned expression when he saw him all the time.When he left without saying goodbye back then, and now suddenly appeared again, the puddle in Lu Jingyao's heart, which had finally calmed down, was completely disturbed.

The meeting was finally over, but Lu Jingyao was not in such a hurry to go back to the office to work. He came to the seventh floor and found Ji Xiuran accurately at countless workstations. He is outside.

Lu Jingyao stared greedily at his back, and even noticed Ji Xiuran's little movements like moving his legs.I heard that he was dug from the University of Political Science and Law, so for so many years, he has been living under my nose, but I have never noticed it ridiculously?

Just as he was thinking, Lu Jingyao's thoughts were interrupted.

"Boss Lu, do you have any instructions?" A manager couldn't help asking when he saw him standing here.

"No, no." Lu Jingyao came back to his senses, fearing that Ji Xiuran would find him, he quickly stepped back a few steps, pretending to be just passing by, he walked to the elevator without changing his face, and went back to the tenth floor to continue working.

The elevator door slowly closed, Lu Jingyao looked in the direction of Ji Xiuran, his fingers tightened slightly on his side, and his thin lips were pursed into a line.

It turned out that even ten years had passed, he would still be easily attracted by him.

******

The clock gradually pointed to 05:30 in the afternoon, and the time to get off work always came so quickly, Ji Xiuran turned off the computer and walked out quickly, driving to join the heavy traffic flow during the rush hour.

After Lu Jingyao finished the work at hand, he realized that it was already past the off-duty time. He was in a daze, without even taking a sip of water, and hurried to the seventh floor, only to find that the person he was thinking of had already left the company.

A trace of disappointment flashed in Lu Jingyao's eyes, he turned and dragged back, the light was not turned on in the dark office, he sat back in the armchair, stretched out his hand to rub the center of his brows, and continued to work.

And Ji Xiuran was not in a hurry to get off work and rest, he drove the car gradually away from places with dense traffic, and arrived at a nursing home on the outskirts of City A two hours later.

"Mr. Ji is here." The nurses inside were all familiar with him, and when they saw him coming in, they greeted him with a smile.

Ji Xiuran walked through the corridor, pushed the door quietly and walked into a ward. The ECG monitor made a monotonous sound in the silent room. There were different people lying on the two beds. Ji Xiuran's eyes were slightly hot, and he walked to one of the beds Beforehand, he dragged a chair and sat down by the bed, and stretched out his hand to help the person on the bed tuck the quilt. After a while, he said in a low voice: "Mom and Dad, I have changed my job. I am now working as a legal consultant in a company, and the salary is quite good." That's good, don't worry about it."

The two people on the bed didn't give him any response. In the quiet room, apart from the sound of the instrument, there was only his own low voice.Looking at the ups and downs on the ECG monitor, Ji Xiuran suddenly became depressed.

After he left with his parents ten years ago, suddenly one day they were involved in a car accident and became a vegetable, and never woke up again. He waited from collapse to numbness to now, just hoping that one day they could open their eyes and see glance at him.

Ji Xiuran sighed, and slowly stood up from the chair, no matter what, he would never give up hope.Thinking of this, he bent down and kissed the backs of his parents' hands respectively, sat for a while, and then reluctantly left.

When he went to work the next day, the company personnel asked for leave and came back to help him go through the entry procedures. Ji Xiuran took the badge with his one-inch photo on it, thanked him, and returned to his work station.

Before he knew it, it was lunch time, and Ji Xiuran went downstairs to the company's special restaurant to eat something casually. He happened to get a phone call, so he stood at the stairs to answer it, without noticing someone passing by not far away.

Lu Jingyao stopped slowly, his eyes passed through the crowd and fell on Ji Xiuran who was a few meters away. The other party was on the phone, the corners of his lips were raised gracefully, as if he was very happy.

Not knowing who was calling him, Lu Jingyao frowned, thinking about it, the next second Ji Xiuran put away his phone and turned in his direction, he quickly collected himself and walked over calmly.

Ji Xiuran hung up the phone, looked up and saw that Lu Jingyao was about to walk in front of him, he subconsciously called his name, but suddenly realized something was wrong, he quickly changed his words: "Lu Jing...Hello, Mr. Lu!"

They are no longer such familiar classmates. Now Lu Jingyao and Ji Xiuran are just ordinary superiors and subordinates. How can he call him by his name like he did when he was a student?

Lu Jingyao stopped in front of him, wanting to say something, but felt that words like "Have you eaten?" were superfluous.After thinking for a few seconds, he asked in a deep voice, "Are you still used to the company environment?"

Ji Xiuran was startled, then nodded, "It's pretty good."

After saying this, there was a speechless silence. Lu Jingyao looked down at the person in front of him, and after a while he heard him take the initiative to say: "Then I'll go up first, Mr. Lu eats slowly."

"...Okay." After the words were finished, Lu Jingyao watched Ji Xiuran pass him by, and his slender figure gradually disappeared at the elevator entrance. He blinked, completely lost the intention of eating.

After the lunch break, Lu Jingyao continued to work. The phone on the table vibrated. He opened the WeChat message and saw that it was the personnel who had pulled the new colleagues into the company's internal communication group.

The name Ji Xiuran appeared brightly on the screen of the phone, and the personnel department took the lead in welcoming new colleagues into the group, and Ji Xiuran also cooperatively sent a sentence "Please take care of me" in the group.

Lu Jingyao stared at the sentence "Please take care of me", then tapped the screen with his fingertips, typed the words "Xiu Ran, welcome to join the company", thought for a while, and deleted each word one by one.

He moved his finger to Ji Xiuran's wechat profile picture and tapped it lightly. The profile page was very simple, not even a single signature, and the profile picture was also a minimalist photo of a blue sky.Lu Jingyao stared at it for a long time, then took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to click on the words to add to the address book, and then quickly threw the phone aside, for fear that the other party would reject his request to add friends.

Ding!

The phone alerted that there was a new message, Lu Jingyao's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to grab the phone and click on it. Ji Xiuran accepted his friend request!

Lu Jingyao looked happy, but soon frowned again. He wanted to send a message, but he couldn't find a suitable sentence to start the chat.

At this time, Secretary Li pushed the door open and came in, put a document in front of him, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, colleagues are going to hold a welcome party to welcome new colleagues tonight. Do you want to join us?"

"Welcome party?" Lu Jingyao raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, Lawyer Ji will also participate." Secretary Li smiled and continued: "The venue has been discussed."

When Lu Jingyao heard the words and looked at the group, he accumulated dozens of messages while he was in a daze. The location of the welcome meeting was set at the Green Lake Hotel, and Ji Xiuran would indeed go.

For a moment, Lu Jingyao had a villainous battle in his heart. The little white man on one side told him to go. This was a good opportunity to reminisce about the past, but the little black man on the other side said not to go. He frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

In the end, the little black man defeated the little white man. Lu Jingyao raised his head, rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a low voice, "I still have something to do, so I won't go. You guys have fun." After a pause, he thought of something, and quickly added: " By the way, I have to go to work tomorrow, so be careful not to get lawyer Ji drunk."

"Got it." Secretary Li smiled and left, and the office became quiet again.

Lu Jingyao leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes and took a nap.It's better not to go, he doesn't want to embarrass him.

But if he didn't go, he was afraid that he would get drunk. After all, he knew that Ji Xiuran didn't drink well, and he was also worried that drinking would hurt his health.Unable to calm down after thinking about it, Lu Jingyao suddenly opened his eyes, his mind was in a mess.

Finally, when it was time to get off work, a message popped up in the WeChat group again. Many colleagues were already preparing to go to the Green Lake Hotel. Lu Jingyao tightly pursed his lips, and suddenly grabbed the car keys and the suit jacket on the back of the chair, and strode out .

The author has something to say: After five months, I finally opened a new hole, thank you for remembering my little angels/(ㄒoㄒ)/
