miss me

Xia Xinghe quickly woke up completely, rubbing his sore eyes, a little embarrassed: "Sorry, did I fall asleep just now?"

"……Um."

Bai Qingzhou silently pressed the switch of the car door, and the moment the door opened, bamboo rushed in.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Seeing the long-lost little master, Zhuzi was obviously very excited. It came up from Bai Qingzhou's side, and quickly overcame many obstacles, and jumped straight on Xia Xinghe.

"Wang Wang!"

Bamboo's big tail was blooming, its front legs rested on Xia Xinghe's shoulders, and it even stuck out its wet tongue to lick his face. It was as if a child saw sugar, and there was no hiding the joy in his beautiful eyes.

The itchy touch stayed on the surface of the skin, Xia Xinghe was amused by Zhuzhu's straightforward reaction, hugging its fluffy head and ruffling its long hair, Bamboo seemed to be encouraged, chattering, chattering, Thinking of himself as a newborn puppy, he burrowed into Xia Xinghe's arms like he was having fun.

"Bamboo, good boy, don't make trouble, haha, don't make trouble."

He refused, but Xia Xinghe still pampered Zhuzi and didn't want to make it sad, let it play around on him, and even hugged it and kissed the tip of its nose.

One person and one dog were very intimate, which made Bai Qingzhou sitting in the driver's seat look a bit downcast. With a straight face, Bai Qingzhou yelled coldly: "Bamboo."

Zhuzi pretended not to hear, and still leaned closer to Xia Xinghe, Bai Qingzhou called out again, and said "come down" with a serious face, Zhuzi then reluctantly jumped off Xia Xinghe, whining, obviously I feel wronged.Bai Qingzhou did not soften his heart, and ordered "get out" coldly, and Zhuzi jumped out of the car with three steps, and stood outside obediently, with his ears and tail drooping.

Xia Xinghe's heart softened, and he hurriedly asked Bai Qingzhou, "What are you doing to it so fiercely?"

Bai Qingzhou lowered his eyes, his tone was a bit cold.

"Dogs can't ride on people, that's the rule."

……All right.

It's a little too much for a large dog to pounce on a person like this.

Bamboo stands almost as tall as a person, and weighs several tens of kilograms. If it catches anyone, it will jump on them, which is indeed dangerous. Xia Xinghe will always teach it not to jump on people casually, but it has been too long since I saw it, and I can't help it , it also came by it.

Now that Bai Qingzhou mentioned it, Xia Xinghe nodded belatedly, and said to Bai Qingzhou, "That's right, it really needs to be educated."

He talked about education, but bamboo is so sticky, how could Xia Xinghe care about it.

The two got out of the car, Zhuzi followed them cautiously, Xia Xinghe immediately put aside what he had said just now, and greeted it with a smile, and said plausibly: "It's not that I'm used to it, it's the one that rushed up first. !"

"..."

Bai Qingzhou stopped talking, and looked at the bamboo quietly with his light-colored eyes.Zhuzi turned his head, tilted his head to look at him, and after a while, he tilted his head violently to rub against Xia Xinghe's thigh, and the whole leg was almost stuck to his body, provocatively, no matter how Bai Qingzhou looked at him, he would hold on.

Bai Qingzhou: "..."

This dog really lacks education.

The two of them entered the room with a dog, Xia Xinghe got used to it, and his first reaction was to add food to the bamboo.

In fact, Bai Qingzhou had already fed it before going out at night, but seeing the little master coming, the bamboo seemed to have not eaten for a few days, and rushed to the food bowl, biting the dog food "Kaka" rattle.If it weren't for Xia Xinghe's trust in Bai Qingzhou, and seeing Zhuzi's soft and smooth hair, he would have suspected that he had mistreated Zhuzi.

Bamboo buried its head in eating, its mouth was occupied, but other places were not idle, its big fluffy tail swept Xia Xinghe's calf, and looked up at him from the bowl from time to time, for fear that he would run away It seemed that he almost had the words "Why haven't you come to see me for so long" written on his face.

Xia Xinghe squatted beside him, rubbing its head with a smile: "Miss me?"

"Ow!"

Zhuzi obviously understood, and kept nodding his head.

Xia Xinghe smiled and said, "My brother misses you too."

"Cough cough."

Bai Qingzhou quietly coughed twice, interrupting the warm atmosphere between one person and one dog.

Xia Xinghe looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

Bai Qingzhou said blankly: "It's getting late, you should go back."

Xia Xinghe was stunned: "Didn't you just say that Zhuzi missed me and asked me to spend more time with it?"

Bai Qingzhou paused: "The bamboo has grown up, it's time to learn to be independent."

Xia Xinghe: "..."

Can grow overnight, is bamboo a special species?

But it was really late, the sky outside was already completely dark, Xia Xinghe stayed with Zhuzi for a while, then stood up.He bent down and touched the bamboo's head, and said softly to it: "Brother will come to accompany you next time."

Turning back, Bai Qingzhou said, "Then I'll go back."

"I send you."

Bai Qingzhou took the opportunity to answer, and walked to the side to change his shoes naturally. Xia Xinghe nodded and said, "Then I will trouble you."

Zhu Zi saw a lot of shoes changing, and immediately realized that it was Xia Xinghe who was leaving.He yelled "Aww", anxiously wanting to jump up and grab his trouser legs, Bai Qingzhou glanced at it lightly, and ordered: "Bamboo, get down."

Zhuzi lay on the floor reluctantly, Bai Qingzhou let Xia Xinghe go first, followed him out of the room, and then locked Zhuzi in the room.

Bamboo's dissatisfied bark came through the gap in the door, Bai Qingzhou went to the garage to drive out, and a smile unconsciously curled up on the corner of his lips.

Xia Xinghe has always thought that Bai Qingzhou was a changeable and unpredictable person, just like now, when he was at home just now, Bai Qingzhou looked extremely disgusted with bamboo, but now on the way to send him home, but He took the initiative to mention bamboo again.

After waiting for the red light, Bai Qingzhou took the initiative to speak and said, "Zhuzi seems to like you very much."

Xia Xinghe said "Huh?" and smiled again: "It's okay."

Bai Qingzhou asked again: "Do you like bamboo?"

"Of course I like it."

Xia Xinghe asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Bai Qingzhou stared straight ahead, and said casually: "It's nothing, it's just..."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "Just remembering, I haven't paid for the sofa you soiled. It is imported from France and made by hand. It cannot be cleaned in China, so it can only be shipped back for maintenance. The cleaning fee is conservatively estimated at [-]. "

Xia Xinghe: "..."

A broken sofa is so expensive, is there still time for him to run away?

"How about it," Bai Qingzhou said, "Anyway, I'm going to pay you a salary, and I'll cover it directly with the salary. Two thousand a month, a total of ten months, for the sake of knowing each other, I'll give you a discount. Calculated on the basis of six months, for the next six months, I will trouble you to continue to take care of Zhu..."

His tone was magnanimous and his expression was natural, only his fingers tapping the steering wheel irregularly revealed his master's nervousness at this time, and Xia Xinghe interrupted him before he could finish his sentence

"No need," Xia Xinghe said, "You should just send me the order, and I will transfer it to you directly according to the price."

Bai Qingzhou frowned suddenly: "Afraid that I will lie to you? I..."

"No, no," Xia Xinghe hurriedly shook his head, and smiled again, "It's just that I plan to go back to my hometown, and I may not be here after a while."

Bai Qingzhou was startled: "Go back? When?"

"Just the nearest, pack up and go."

Bai Qingzhou's tone was a little stiff: "Why? Don't you like this place?"

"There is no reason," Xia Xinghe said, "I don't have a serious job here, and I have always been alone. My parents are getting old, so I can't always be here alone."

Yes, he admitted that he likes the environment of Chathu Lake and the rain here, but adults can't do whatever they want at any time, not to mention that his home is not here, and he has no reason to stay.

Learning to weigh and give up is also one of the compulsory courses for adults.

The sudden mention of the topic made the atmosphere a little stagnant. Bai Qingzhou was awkward for a long time, and then asked: "So suddenly, there is nothing to miss...or someone?"

"It's okay." Xia Xinghe smiled, "Friends always have a chance to meet, and it doesn't have to be in the same city."

"Then... what about the man, the boyfriend?"

Bai Qingzhou's tone was a bit strange, Xia Xinghe glanced at him, smiled lightly again, and said, "It's not like you don't know, I've been single for several years."

"Why don't you talk?"

"Which one is suitable?" Xia Xinghe asked back.

Perhaps it was because the atmosphere was relatively relaxed at the moment, or maybe it was because there were still some unspeakable thoughts in his heart, Xia Xinghe half-truthfully made a joke, "I can't be with you anymore, right?"

Bai Qingzhou's voice tightened suddenly: "I..." Xia Xinghe interrupted him before he could speak.

"Okay, okay, I was joking." Xia Xinghe said hastily, "I know, you don't like me, and I won't show any affection to you anymore, don't worry."

All the words were blocked in his throat, Bai Qingzhou fell silent, and the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, as if frozen.

Xia Xinghe felt a little embarrassed, presumably because he just made that joke on the spur of the moment, but the thing happened and he couldn't do it again, so he could only curse himself a few times in his heart.

After sitting there in embarrassment for 10 minutes, the car turned a corner, and Xia Xinghe saw the gate of his own community from a distance.

He didn't want to stay in this embarrassing atmosphere for a long time, so he hurriedly said: "It's here, just leave me at the gate of the courtyard and I can go by myself."

The car parked slowly on the side of the road, but Bai Qingzhou didn't speak.

Xia Xinghe turned his head and said "thank you", impatiently wanting to escape from this awkward closed space, it seemed that his actions fell into Bai Qingzhou's eyes without any nostalgia, and even made his eyes flash black.

The store in front of the community is playing music through speakers, the vague sound quality has a strong reverberation, and the gentle female voice comes through the cracks in the windows.

"No one is like you/Can be so free/Want to let go and let go/"

The long-suppressed emotions finally ushered in the explosion at this moment, Bai Qingzhou couldn't bear it anymore, he thought bitterly, would he disappear from his life so simply?Is there really no nostalgia?

Xia Xinghe pulled the door and found that it was still locked. He turned around and asked Bai Qingzhou to open the door for him. When he raised his eyes, he heard Bai Qingzhou speak.

He asked, "Can't you just leave?"
