messed up

"Brother, do you still remember what you said last night?" Xu Baiyu put on his glasses after washing his face, and looked at Pei Yuning with the water on his face: "You actually said you envied me."

Pei Yunning nodded: "Look at how clean your life is. Except that you have to deal with relatives during the holidays, you can just live here by yourself. You don't have a girlfriend, so you don't have to try to make others happy. You don't have to be afraid of being green." Speaking of this, Pei Yunning sighed heavily: "Xiao Xu, I really envy you."

Xu Baiyu threw Pei Yuning a new toothbrush, squeezed the toothpaste for himself, and pursed his lips helplessly: "You just said a few angry words when something went wrong. After all, people live in groups, and usually only I envy you." Your share."

Pei Yunning didn't speak any more, brushed his teeth silently, put on his coat after eating the bread that Xu Baiyu handed him, and said with emotion before leaving: "Who doesn't have any difficulties."

Xu Baiyu only thought that he lost his nerve after being hit, and didn't answer him.The two went out together and walked towards the hospital. Xu Baiyu looked at the willow trees on the side of the street. The leaves of the willow trees on this side of Yaocheng had already started to turn yellow in this season. .Xu Baiyu sighed: "Brother, why do you think people need a lifelong partner?"

"In ancient times, the productive forces were underdeveloped. Men farmed and women weaved. Only by cooperating with each other could they have food and clothes to live on. As for now," Pei Yunning thought for a while, "It's probably because ordinary people like me are always tempted."

Xu Baiyu glanced at him: "I think your layman's words are quite to the point."

"Why do you ask that suddenly? Is someone right?" Pei Yunning has never been short of curiosity, and not long after being broken up, she instinctively thought of becoming a master of love: "I can talk to you Tell me, if you know someone, you know their face, but you don’t know their heart. If you are in a relationship, you must know the other person’s mind. Don’t be like me, you don’t realize it until you are cheated on.” He sighed: “Forget it , or don’t look for it, go alone.”

Xu Baiyu smiled helplessly: "It's nothing, I might not be able to find it if you change ten or eight." He looked at the pedestrians in a hurry on the street, and suddenly turned to Pei Yuning: "You know that when you become a person, you can live a life of your own." What is it like?"

"Why don't you know? Isn't that what I am now?" Pei Yuning said confidently: "I'm already a bachelor, how can I be alone?"

"What are you?" Xu Baiyu was a little confused: "You have parents who love you, and you have so many friends. If you are broken up and don't want to go home, you won't sleep on the street. There are countless people around you." He shook his head. Shaking his head: "I lived in a dormitory when I was in junior high school. At that time, I was very introverted, and few of my classmates could talk to me. One afternoon when I was after school, I suddenly saw a grass on the side of the road. A very beautiful flower. I really wanted to pick it off, but in the end I didn't pick it off. I thought at the time, what if I pick it off? I don't know who I can show it to." He glanced at Pei Yuning: " Such a life is quite cruel, right? It's not worthy of your envy."

As he spoke, he was about to walk to the gate of the hospital, but Pei Yuning suddenly didn't know how to proceed.He smiled and tried to comfort Xu Baiyu: "After all, it was puberty at that time. How many puberty children are not awkward? Don't think too much about it."

"Okay, I don't want to." Xu Baiyu smiled, and walked into the hospital with Pei Yuning.

Although Xu Baiyu got up earlier than usual that day, but he and Pei Yunning walked together, chatting and chatting along the way, it was still slower than walking alone, and many people had already arrived when they entered the hospital.As soon as he and Pei Yuning got off the elevator, they heard two nurses chatting not far away, and one of them flipped through his mobile phone and said, "You said those e-commerce companies are too good at making money. November [-]th is nothing special at all." The implication is that it has become a shopping spree for them. It is really capable."

"It's almost Double Eleven." Pei Yunning curled her lips: "I didn't expect that I would be in the same camp as you on Singles' Day this year."

Xu Baiyu smiled smugly: "You might as well think about what you need to buy. Anyway, you often stay up late, and it's not a few hours away from Double Eleven."

"That's right." Pei Yuning said helplessly: "Hey, if you want to buy something, you can send it to me in advance. People who go to bed early like you are not suitable for this kind of activity." After finishing speaking, he added: "Don't Just forget to transfer the money.”

"Understood," Xu Baiyu said with a smile, "Just wait."

This afternoon Xu Baiyu was walking home after get off work, and when he reached the gate of the community, his heart beat a little faster. He instinctively felt that something unpleasant might happen to him later.Sure enough, Xu Baiyu walked into the community, and just turned into the road facing the building where he lived, when he saw a car he recognized from a distance.

Standing beside the car was a middle-aged man in formal attire, who was leaning against the station, with a half-smoked cigarette between the index and middle fingers of his right hand.Xu Baiyu had a headache, the identity of this person was really embarrassing for him.He stepped forward bravely, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Why are you here?"

"Don't you even call me dad?" Seeing Xu Baiyu approaching, the man put out his cigarette and looked up at him: "It's really not big or small."

dad?Xu Baiyu recalled that the last time he saw this person seemed to be during the Lantern Festival last year. Even when Dr. Xu Baiyu graduated, he was not able to be there because of his busy work as a parent.Let alone saying the word dad, even Xu Baiyu felt a little strange when he thought about it.So Xu Baiyu was not to be outdone: "Old Xu, let it be as long as you are fine." After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

The person who came was Xu Baiyu's biological father, Xu Jianye, who was only 55 years old this year, at the golden age of an entrepreneur, and very energetic.Seeing that Xu Baiyu was about to leave, Xu Jianye hurriedly called to him: "Come back! Who said I'm fine?"

Xu Baiyu stopped in his tracks: "Then tell me, what's your business? Don't ask me to be a tutor for your two young sons." In the second year after Xu Jianye remarried, Xu Baiyu's stepmother gave birth to a couple. The twin sons, Xu Baiyu was nine years old that year.Counting their ages, the two children are the same age as his sister-in-law's cousin, and they should be in high school.

Xu Jianye didn't expect Xu Baiyu to say that, he smiled awkwardly for a moment, and took the initiative to change the subject: "Why don't you invite your father to sit up for a while?"

Xu Baiyu smiled helplessly: "If you want to come up, I won't stop you."

It was the beginning of November in the Gregorian calendar at this time, and it was about six o'clock in Yaocheng before it got dark.It was getting dark, but Xu Baiyu didn't bother to turn on the light. He poured Xu Jianye a glass of water very politely, and motioned him to sit down casually.

"Bai Yu, you are not young anymore, Dad wants to help you buy a house." Xu Jianye looked at him: "Your 27th birthday will be a few months later, and you should marry a wife and have children..."

"Thank you for your kindness, but," Xu Baiyu leaned against the door, speaking politely, but interrupting him mercilessly in his behavior: "I don't need it."

"You don't have to worry about money," Xu Jianye said to himself: "Although your father's factory has not been as prosperous as before, it is still no problem to buy you a three-bedroom house in Yaocheng."

"I've only been working for a while, so I'm not in a hurry to start a family." Xu Baiyu explained in a very distant tone, but patiently: "It's not bad for me to live here alone."

Xu Baiyu blocked all the words, Xu Jianye was silent for a moment, then sighed and said: "Baiyu, you are not a child anymore, it is useless to act emotionally."

"I don't." Xu Baiyu frowned, and said frankly: "Old Xu, in fact, you are no different to me from my uncle, my uncle, my sister-in-law and the others. It's enough for us to be polite on New Years and holidays. Why are you bothering?" Before Xu Jianye could react, Xu Baiyu issued the order to evict the guest: "I have been working all day and I am very tired. I have to rest early, and I have to continue to save lives and heal the wounded tomorrow."

Xu Jianye was originally suppressing his anger, but now he seemed to have been poured with cold water.He didn't want to argue with Xu Baiyu, and knew that it would be embarrassing for both of them to stay any longer, so although he was depressed, he still walked out of Xu Baiyu's house.

"Be careful on the road, don't walk slowly." Xu Baiyu stood at the door and said these words, and then closed the door without hesitation.

Xu Baiyu walked to the window of the living room, glanced at the sky where there was only a sliver of light left, then turned his gaze downstairs, quietly watching Xu Jianye's car drive away from sight.He was a little depressed, like a big rock was blocked in his heart.The stone was too heavy, and he didn't have that much skill, so he couldn't move it for a while.This would have been fine in the past, but at this moment he suddenly wanted to find a helper.

He took the phone, opened the address book, and unconsciously found the name Yu Jing.

no.Xu Baiyu hastily turned his phone to an off screen, thinking: Yu Jing must be with Mr. Yu at this moment, and must not disturb them.

Xu Baiyu sat slumped on the sofa, not knowing what to do next.Want to play a game?He dismissed the idea immediately.The game itself is actually not attractive to him. After all, he is already very tired from work and study, so he can finally have some rest time. He just wants to be paralyzed, and he doesn't want to choose such an energy-consuming entertainment.He thought about it carefully, turned on the phone and used the clock function to set a watch for 08:30 in the evening: He planned to sleep for a while and call Yu Jing again at [-]:[-].

Facts have proved that many times oversleeping is actually just because of slack, and there is no need for an alarm clock when something is on your mind.Xu Baiyu woke up without hearing the alarm clock ringing. He dazedly grabbed his cell phone from the bedside table and saw that it was only [-]:[-].

Sleeping is indeed the best way to pass the time.Xu Baiyu smiled self-deprecatingly, lifted the quilt and washed his face, regained consciousness for a while, then picked up the phone again.

At 08:30, he dialed Yu Jing's cell phone number on time.The phone beeped, and Xu Baiyu's heartbeat gradually accelerated amidst the sound. He didn't know whether the phone's ringing was louder or his own heartbeat was louder in the dark and silent room.Fortunately, Yu Jing answered it within two rings: "Doctor Xu? Why are you calling at this time?"

He heard a door knock from Yu Jing's side, and asked curiously, "Mr. Yu, what are you doing?"

"I just got home." Yu Jing smiled slightly: "What's the matter?"

Xu Baiyu found it very strange, he felt that Yu Jing seemed to have magical powers, and just hearing the voice could make him feel calm and at ease.He walked slowly to the balcony, looking at the bright moon and sparse stars in the sky, he only felt that his state of mind was gradually expanding and clearing like the bright night sky.He laughed at himself: "It's okay, I just want to call you all of a sudden."
