Balance beam

Li Jia was stunned, and the fragments that flashed in his mind were messy and disorganized, all of which were Palin's various expressions.Hypocritical and haggard, what kind of mentality does Palin have when dealing with him?Li Jia couldn't figure it out and couldn't tell the difference.Feeling so sad as if he was stimulated, Li Jia suddenly wanted to go to Palin's side, see him, and talk to him.

"Dazhi, is it possible for us to expand in City S?"

Zhou Dazhi looked at him with the eyes of a visitor from space, "How is it possible? Are you dreaming? Does the company have that kind of scale? Why are we going to S City?"

Li Jia muttered hesitantly, "When dealing with big companies, is it okay not to follow up?" Zhou Dazhi rolled his eyes at him, "They have a branch here, and the project is also here. It seems that there is no need to contact the head office, right?"

"We're not just doing his business this time"

Li Jia was a little bit unwilling, and continued to persuade. Zhou Dazhi was dissatisfied, "Do you think we are a big company like Zhenrong? People like Mr. Qian just set up a five-star decorated office when they said they would open an office." .can we do it?"

Li Jia scratched his head with one hand, and felt that he was whimsical, and it was really unnecessary to send someone over there. Even if someone did go over, he probably would not arrange for himself.It's just that once this kind of thought is born, it will grow like crazy, staring out of the window anxiously, wishing to fly out like this with wings under its threat.

Zhou Dazhi looked at Li Jia blankly, "Why do you want to go there? Are you homesick?"

Li Jia shook his head and walked away with a full water glass, "No, I'll go get some more water."

For a moment, Zhou Dazhi felt that the man's back was very lonely.

When human beings use their ingenuity and intelligence to talk about love, they become extremely sensitive.

There is a popular rumor among sales people that "good business must first sell yourself." Love experts are constantly explaining experience to people in front of TV, guiding us to make accurate analysis, and then pinpoint each other's weak points to seek breakthrough.After Zhou Dazhi conducted a 360-degree analysis of Li Jia, although he came to a disappointing conclusion, he still felt that he had a higher probability of success.

If Li Jia was a rational person, he would give up unrealistic fantasies and pay attention to his efforts.

Zhou Dazhi felt that Li Jia was a little stubborn, and a little bit confused. He had been single for so long with a child, and he had that tendency. Why did he always pretend to ignore his overtures?

Women are sensitive to rivals, and so are men.When Li Jia talks, he always likes to focus on Qian Peilin, and he also associates the relationship that he can't beat. If he doesn't pay too much attention to one person, he won't feel that all topics are related to him.

Zhou Dazhi hinted, pointing to the inside pages of economic weekly magazines and said to Li Jia, "Men like Mr. Qian are superior, and toads can't eat swan meat." He talked about the rumors he had heard about Palin's wife.Li Jia remained silent in the face of Zhou Dazhi's denunciation, obviously absent-minded.

In recent years, Li Jia has a bad stomach and can't drink coffee. Now he specially bought a coffee machine and came back to study. Zhou Dazhi got closer and closer, so he sat in front of the window with a coffee cup.If you are too noisy, you will say "Go back, I still have things to do."

Zhou Dazhi was so angry that he gritted his teeth secretly.

After Zhou Dazhi deliberately kept Li Jia indifferent for a few days, seeing that the other party didn't feel any loss and was extremely depressed, he had no choice but to put down his body and leaned closer.

Zhou Dazhi's harassment made Li Jia feel confused at first, but after a long time he found it interesting.The boss who is like a big boy is extremely smart, and he learns many things quickly. Although he often loses his temper for no reason, he is very considerate when he comes over to please him.At the time when he was young and active, he was attractive, and he was comfortable and natural when getting along. Zhou Dazhi like this made him look like a dead wood.Although he hinted that he was not suitable, and said that he was not worthy of the love of young people, the young boss still didn't care.

Deliberately bullying the other party to the point of almost panic, Zhou Dazhi will not slam the door and leave like before, but hide aside and get angry, as long as he is coaxed a little, he will post it. The man sometimes shows an aggrieved expression, and sometimes smiles brightly.

The brave young man reminded Li Jia of Palin's shadow and reminded him of his youth.Those once green years are as long as a dream.

Zhou Dazhi has been refined into steel. After drinking a few cups of stuffy wine alone this day, he clenched his hands into fists and secretly cheered him up. He must confess today.

After making up his mind to go out, he thought of some words along the way, brewed his emotions at Li Jia's door, and knocked on the door with all his strength.

The man who was soaking his feet, his trousers were rolled up to his thighs, was surprised when he opened the door, "Mr. Zhou, how do you know my house is here?" Li Jia's clear feet and slender leg bones made Zhou Dazhi feel like bleeding from his nose. .

Zhou Dazhi blushed, and before he could speak, he saw a thin head protruding from Li Jia's shoulder, "Who is this?"

"Let me introduce, my son Jiang Jiang, Mr. Zhou of the company."

"Oh, hello." Jiang Jiang looked Zhou Dazhi up and down.

The courage that Zhou Dazhi had finally mustered collapsed in an instant, like a discouraged ball, "Is your son at home?"

"Of course." Li Jia felt that the question was inexplicable.

Zhou Dazhi felt that his brain was short-circuited, and he was almost unable to breathe. He opened his mouth wide to absorb oxygen. This was definitely a strategic mistake.what to do?Neither advancing nor retreating, just stood at the door and stared blankly at Li Jia.

Li Jia let Zhou Dazhi into the room and asked him whether he should drink tea or coffee. Zhou Dazhi was interested in the wooden basin in the center of the ground. "What is this?" ?”

"Okay." Zhou Dazhi immediately took off his shoes and socks, and stretched his feet into the basin, "It's so hot and comfortable."

Zhou Dazhi leaned halfway on the back of the chair, and found Li Jia standing beside him with a smile on his face, and suddenly felt embarrassed, "You come to wash, too." !" "It's fine if you don't dislike me." "No." Li Jia pulled a low stool and stepped his feet into the basin.

The two men's four feet filled the foot basins. Looking at Li Jia's toes, although he really wanted to step on them with the soles of his feet, Zhou Dazhi reflexively wanted to hide on both sides to make room for Li Jia, and then smiled flatteringly. He raised his face at Li Jia.

The two were so close that their lips overlapped within a few centimeters. Li Jia's breath lingered in the bottom of his nose, as if encouraging him to go further.

Zhou Dazhi was stunned for a long time, his shoulders trembling slightly and he leaned forward slightly.

Suddenly Li Jia's face turned away, and he turned his mind to him. Li Jia turned around and grabbed a rag to wipe his feet. "You soak again, I'll put the bath water first."

Zhou Dazhi was extremely disappointed and deeply blamed himself for his recklessness just now. If he was not eager for success, he could have stayed with Li Jia a little longer.

Will Li Jia be angry because of this?Just feeling uneasy, and just about to find an excuse to apologize, an uncomfortable smell rushed out from the bottom of my stomach.Zhou Dazhi quickly stepped on his shoes and ran to the toilet.

The door of the toilet in Li Jia's house changed its direction. Zhou Dazhi couldn't find the way for a while, so he threw out a sink in the kitchen.

Hearing the sound, Jiang Jiang came out, frowning and covering his nose with his hand, "Dad, I never heard of you having such a colleague?" Li Jia quickly raised his finger to his mouth, "Be quiet."

He took a water glass and rinsed Zhou Dazhi's mouth, then helped him to rest on the sofa, cleaned up Zhou Dazhi's crime scene, and brought a thin quilt to cover him.

Because he was drunk and uncomfortable, Zhou Dazhi frowned and rolled over. He felt someone force something into his mouth while feeling uncomfortable. He licked the candy with his tongue, and pushed it out with the tip of his tongue.The man didn't give up and pushed forward again, Zhou Dazhi almost got angry.After several times, when he was slightly awake and realized that it was Li Jia's finger, Li Jia's hand had already slid out to wipe the corner of his mouth.

Li Jia took his finger out of Zhou Dazhi's lips, wiped it with a towel, and then sat next to him and gently massaged his temple, "There is no hangover tea at home, you can eat a piece of candy first!"

Zhou Dazhi listened to Li Jia talking in his ear in a daze, and was slightly disappointed, rolling the quilt with sugar in his mouth and making noise and feeling uncomfortable.

Li Jia spent most of the night with him like this.

When Zhou Dazhi woke up at night and saw the man curled up sleeping on the single sofa, a layer of tenderness appeared in his heart.He could obviously leave him behind and go back to sleep in the house, but he stayed with him all the time.

He squatted down and brought his face close to Li Jia's sleeping face. He wanted to kiss him lightly, but he really didn't want to disturb him when he was unprepared, so he blew lightly on Li Jia's lips.

Staying at Li Jia's house overnight while drunk, Zhou Dazhi didn't get up until he couldn't stay in bed anymore.

Hearing that Li Jia was busy in the kitchen and wanted to help, Jiang Jiang's voice of getting up to wash up made him give up the idea for a moment.

Hearing the father and son talking, Zhou Dazhi nestled in the quilt and smiled happily, as if the person Li Jia peeled and fed the apples to eat was himself and not Jiang Jiang.

"Dad, I'm leaving." Jiang Jiang knelt down to tie his shoelaces. Li Jia asked him, "Have you brought all the books?" Come back and take you to the hospital." Jiang Jiang waved his hand coolly, meaning "Worry, I know." The thin figure swayed downstairs.

Zhou Dazhi stepped on his shoes and pulled his hair twice, leaning over, "What are you going to the hospital for? I didn't know your son was in poor health."

"I'm fine now. I was often sick when I was young, so I have to check regularly. What do I eat?"

There are two more breakfasts on the table, fried eggs, pickles, boiled cabbage with beef balls, and porridge. My stomach that was not hungry clamored to try it. Zhou Dazhi smiled and said, "I like to eat everything you make."

Sitting at the table, I sighed that the food was plentiful. I just picked up the chopsticks when I heard someone knock on the door. Li Jia didn't take off her apron. She stood up and looked out through the cat's eyes.

Zhou Dazhi felt Li Jia's back froze instantly, and then quickly opened the door, "Palin, it's you."

Qian Peilin couldn't stop smiling. Seeing Li Jia's eyes widen in surprise, the expression on his face gradually froze. Looking down slightly, he saw an extra pair of shoes at the door.Zhou Dazhi sat at the table with his mouth slightly open, a little silly, Perrin glanced over the food on the table, and then looked around the room.

Li Jia stammered and asked, "You, why are you here, didn't you say you will arrive next month?"

Perrin looked at him blankly, "The plan is ahead of schedule."

Palin's sizing up for a few seconds made Li Jia's heart beat endlessly. There was disgust, dislike, and patience in it.Li Jia's heart was beating like thunder, and he was so nervous that his heart beat faster, and he clasped his hands tightly together with anxiety.

Palin suddenly smiled at him, the cheekbones bulged out, the hypocrisy of a superficial smile, like a mockery or watching a comedy, it penetrated deep into his eyes, making Li Jia unable to tell the truth from the fake And good and evil, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do. You guys are busy first, and I will come to see you another day."

Knowing that Palin is gone, it is uncertain when we can meet again. Li Jia's actions are faster than his thoughts, his brain is still in a state of chaos, and his hand has been stretched out to hold his arm tightly. Right away. You come in first."

Zhou Dazhi was kicked out by Li Jia.

Silent threats, without saying anything, made Zhou Dazhi feel that he was superfluous.

There were clearly three people standing in the room, but it was silent, and he was the only one packing things and changing clothes.

Seeing Zhou Dazhi put on his coat listlessly, Li Jia deeply felt that it was the most sensible move for him to change his clothes before going to sleep last night.

Because he was worried that Zhou Dazhi would not sleep well, Li Jia thought about whether to help him take off his clothes, but if he insisted on helping him take off his clothes, he was worried that Zhou Dazhi would think too much. Secretly shouted congratulations.

The trousers that had been rolled overnight were wrinkled a lot, stretched vigorously and then stretched a little, Zhou Dazhi's mood did not become happy because of the unfolding of the fabric.Youxin borrowed an iron from Li Jia, and looked back a little to see those two pairs of eager eyes.

Li Jia let Palin in.

Obviously there was coffee to be made, but when it was brought in, he was in a hurry to bring two cups of tea that he often drank.

Li Jia got up and wanted to change again, but Palin said he stopped him with one hand gesture, "Don't be busy. I still have something to do, I have to leave later."

Li Jiaduan sat in front of him, with his hands between his legs and his face tensed. "Mr. Zhou, I borrowed here yesterday. I'm not a special friend."

Palin smiled wryly. Of course he believed Li Jia's explanation. Zhou Dazhi's expression was like a dog in the water, just like his own crush on Li Jia back then.Chasing and intercepting, encountering a lot of trouble, this kid has a little courage, but he definitely doesn't have the guts of his own.Faced with Li Jia's refusal, he would only bow his head and be sad. How much psychological homework did I do to win Li Jia back then.Because of Li Jia's disgust, he felt deeply guilty and blamed himself, and even regretted it repeatedly.

Of course Palin would also be angry. He happened to think of Li Jia that day, and gave him a call. He wanted to arrive as scheduled, but because of the agreement, he didn't hesitate to do anything, so he simply arranged for something to come. Like a slap in the face.

The moment he saw Zhou Dazhi, Palin was really going to be blown away.

They acted suspiciously, and Perrin's liver ached.

Accustomed to calming himself immediately after being impulsive, and having spent time with Sonia day and night, Palin has dealt with emergencies calmly to a certain level.After calming down for a while, I can tell that there is nothing between Zhou Dazhi and Li Jia. Although it is not that pure, it is just ambiguity.

Even if there is nothing, how can someone stay in your own home?How is it possible to let him in?How could that person come in and out like a master, walking around.

It's never his turn, a kid with limited social experience, limited qualifications and experience, wearing a suit with a slit at the back, hairspray stained with dandruff, no matter how good-looking he is, he still wears a grade [-] The rustic feel of the city.It has the characteristics of a local rich man, and he is the kind of supporter who is not rich and prodigal and incompetent. Compared with the dude who can stir up scandals and gossip, he is so simple and ridiculous. It is such a ridiculous person who has become a competitor. opponent.

Qian Peilin felt a sullen stagnation in his chest, which could not dissipate for a long time.

Li Jia looked at Palin's face, and suddenly changed color, and then changed back again.His eyelids were half closed in thought, and he didn't look at him.

Li Jia squatted in front of Palin, touching his face with one hand, "Palin, what's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?"

Qian Peilin shook his head and pulled out a big smile. "Li Jia, don't look at me like that, I'll think about it."

Li Jia looked at Palin in surprise. Palin didn't seem to have misunderstood him. Is it because of trust or because it doesn't matter?Or did he not understand what he was saying? "Me and Zhou, Zhou Dazhi, and, it's nothing." Li Jia blushed. For him, these pretentious misunderstandings were especially embarrassing to explain, but as long as he could keep Palin by his side, he could No face.

Perrin is no longer as flamboyant and impulsive as he was back then, but just sitting there and looking over, he is full of momentum.Li Jia was so oppressed that he couldn't lift his head, and couldn't bear it as if he had done something wrong.

Palin said, "I really have something to do, let's go."

Standing up, bypassing Li Jia, he went straight to the gate.

Li Jia blushed to the base of his neck as if someone had slapped him.

No matter what Perrin thought, he had hurt him, let him down by withdrawing, distrusted him by betraying him.It's hard to look forward to meeting again. I don't have any hope of whether the previous rift can be healed, but there are many things that have not been said, and some thoughts that Palin did not know. If Palin is allowed to go away like this, he will regret it to death. of.

It took him many years to realize that he liked Palin so much that his heart ached when he thought of him.

Li Jia has never been so brave as he is now.

When Palin's hand touched the doorknob, Li Jia hugged Palin behind him, with his arms across Palin's chest, trembling greatly, "Palin, Pei~Pei~Pailin, I like you."

I don't know if Palin's back was trembling or he was trembling. Li Jia's eardrums were buzzing, and it took him a long time to hear Palin say "Li Jia."

"Come on, we can't continue our previous relationship."

Li Jia didn't let go, but couldn't turn his mind like being struck by lightning.Palin grabbed Li Jia's fingers and opened them one by one. At first, he held them tightly, not sure what Palin was doing. The knuckles were so painful that Li Jia was able to confirm Palin's decision.When did you hate him so much?Li Jia didn't know what he did to make him avoid him so much, the only thing he could do was not let him go.

Li Jia broke away from Palin, clasped his hands tightly on Palin's chest, "Palin, I like you."

After taking a deep breath, Li Jia felt his voice pass through Palin's back, echoing in his body.

"Palin, Palin~" Palin didn't move, Li Jia moved Palin's body, facing him, looking up at Palin, "Palin, Palin."

Whispering, full of affection, Palin looked back at Li Jia in disbelief.

Li Jia has changed, not the one he fully understands, the Li Jia he knows can't even say a word of love to death, and the strange and familiar Li Jia makes a persistent thought in his body eager to try to get him. respond.

How many years he had been looking forward to hearing this clear love.Li Jia's eyes and expression are absolutely fake, but Palin felt that this liking came out of nowhere. In the past, he stalked and gave everything but could not get a word of affirmation. Now what is this for?

Qian Peilin carefully touched Li Jia's face.

Li Jia's lips trembled, he was so nervous that he couldn't restrain himself.Almost crying "Palin, I really like you. I love you."

Qian Peilin turned his head slightly, and couldn't help laughing wryly, the person hugging him was the one he said he loved for so many years and still couldn't let go.

No matter how determined he is to stop wandering in this swampy field, he still can't be ruthless.

"Li Jia, I like you too, but my liking is different from your liking."

Palin earnestly said, "It's not just emotional dependence, I will do more excessive things, even if you don't like it, it's okay."

"Li Jia, if there were only the two of us left in this world, we might live happily together. But what I give you and what I want are not only these, but also more. Even if you really love me, the people around you What about the people in your family? Your parents, your son, your colleagues.” These problems are all problems, and they are all problems they have encountered before.It was impossible to overcome in the past, and it will definitely be encountered again in the future.

Li Jia nodded affirmatively, and Palin smiled, "You can't back down, Li Jia, do you know what I mean? Do you know what I will do to you?"

Li Jia shook his head and nodded, choking with tears.

"What do you know?" Palin couldn't contain his anger.

Li Jia hugged him thoughtlessly and put his face on Palin's chest, crying, "I know."
