lightly cooked

Hearing these words, Fu Jia was stunned.The surrounding lights were bright, illuminating his embarrassment without hiding.

Xu Shuyuan pushed him away and went outside to change clothes.

Fu Jia's body was wet and cold, and his upper and lower teeth were slightly knocked when he came out of the bathroom.But he doesn't have the face to stay here anymore, he has to go, but he doesn't know how passers-by will look at him after he goes out.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

"You rest, I'm leaving first." He stood in the entrance without looking away, feeling completely naked.

Xu Shuyuan stood beside the bed, looking at him at the same level: "Take your bag away."

When I came in, my backpack was behind the door, but now I somehow ran to the front of the closet.Fu Jia walked over awkwardly, and when he lowered his head, he realized that it was covered with a towel, which Xu Shuyuan probably threw on it casually.

Don't touch it, so as not to be annoying.

Looking down, he saw a small patch of dark color on the carpet, all dripping from his body and hair.He put the towel aside, walked away a few steps and stopped: "If you have time, go and have the surgery, after all, it's a lifetime thing, don't get angry with me..." He couldn't say anything after that, he just said : "Director Qin also reserved the schedule for you."

I can hear the trembling of my own voice, it is impossible for Xu Shuyuan not to hear it.But he didn't seem to care, and asked coldly, "What are you doing in the hospital?"

"Look at my mother." Fu Jia answered very slowly.

"So, I forgot." Xu Shuyuan's tone was mocking, "How is her illness?"

"Much better...Thank you for your concern."

After a few seconds of silence, she heard a sentence: "Wipe your hair dry." Fu Jia was slightly stunned, but when she raised her eyes, she only saw a stern profile.The warmth in his heart dissipated, and he slowly shook his head: "Don't delay your rest, I'm going downstairs to take the subway, and I forgot to drive here today."

Going to take the subway like this is just going to be a laughing stock.

Xu Shuyuan rolled his eyes at him, as if he thought he was putting on airs: "Where's your driver?"

"he's resting today."

"There are many taxis below."

"I..." Fu Jia bit the bullet, "I'm not used to taxis, and I'm prone to motion sickness."

He does have this problem.

"Whatever you want." Xu Shuyuan glanced at him coldly, got up to get his cell phone and briefcase, "If it's really hypocritical, I'll leave this room to you, and I'll open another one."

"Leave it to me?" Fu Jia looked up at him, "Why?"

"If you get sick because of my cold, I'm afraid I'm sorry for you. I don't want to be entangled with you anymore."

It turned out to be the case.

Fu Jia's heart tightened suddenly, watching him disappear before her eyes.

There was still a familiar smell in the room, perhaps because of this reason, Fu Jia was still willing to stay here.He didn't lie to his parents, he just said that he was in a certain hotel, and it was too windy outside and he didn't want to go back.His mother kept asking questions, so he hung up the phone directly.

Wet clothes hung under the air conditioner and sleeping in bathrobes was not good.He had been paying attention to the movement in the corridor all night, he knew what he was expecting, but he also knew that he was delusional.

When I woke up the next day, the whole floor was very quiet, as if Fu Jia was the only one left.The clothes were dry, and the upper body was wrinkled.When leaving the hotel, Fu Jia looked back, everything was like a dream yesterday.

Not one minute of last night was a good memory, but because Xu Shuyuan was among them, even if it was a nightmare, he was willing to do it again.

Back home, Fu's mother saw that he was wrinkled and didn't even change his clothes, so she immediately became vigilant: "Where did you go last night?"

"I told you, I'm in the hotel where my colleague got married."

Fu Jia turned and went upstairs, and her mother followed her and asked, "Are you alone?"

He paused, turned and looked directly at his mother: "Is it not one person, but how many people?"

"Mom didn't mean that." Fu's mother softened instantly when she saw that he was angry, "Jiajia, mom is worried about your safety. If the wind is strong, if you don't want to take a taxi, you can ask your dad to pick you up. Why bother to stay?" What hotel?"

Fu Jia suddenly felt very tired, and put down the toothpaste and toothbrush: "Mom, don't come and test me if it's okay. I'll be 30 years old in a few years, and I'm an adult with a sound mind. If I want to lie to you, there are ten thousand ways , can you control me like this for the rest of my life?"

Fu's mother choked, and remained silent for a long while.

After eating breakfast, Fu Jia thought for a long time, and also called the doctor in charge to inquire about her mother's condition, and returned downstairs after learning that the condition was indeed stable.

"Mom, I want to discuss something with you."

Fu's mother was watching TV when she heard that she put down the remote control panel.

"I want to move out of the house," he said. "I want to try to live independently without relying on the family."

"Is this necessary?" My mother reacted greatly, "Now there is a ready-made house and car for you to use at home. Do you watch too many TV dramas and why are you independent?"

But Fu Jia has been thinking about this matter for a long time, and it's not just today.Not only did he not back down, but he was honest and frank with his thoughts.

"In the past, you protected me too well, blocking everything in front of me, so I developed the habit of relying on others. The first reaction when encountering things is always to shrink back, and I don't have the ability to endure hardship."

"Who made you suffer?" Fu's mother said, "You don't need to suffer in your life. Isn't that good? What kind of ability to endure hardship is needed."

Fu Jia shook his head: "You and Dad can't protect me forever."

Fu's mother was angry, but she knew her son better than her mother. The son seemed to be serious this time, not just joking around.

"Then tell me, where do you plan to move to?"

He refused to say, Fu's mother directly guessed: "Is it the place I have been to before? Okay, Fu Jia, you don't want to be independent, I think you want to—"

"I don't want anything. I'm just a little out of breath and want a place of my own." Fu Jia interrupted directly, "Mom, I'm willing to listen to you, and I love you very much, but I really can't take it anymore Yes. Recently, I suffer from insomnia almost every night, and I can't concentrate on doing things. I really don't know how long I can last like this..."

Such words from an innocent and carefree child since he was a child will shock even a hard-hearted mother.Fu Mu looked at him carefully, seeing his sunken cheeks, dull eyes, and a look of distraught, she couldn't say a word of reproach, only heartache.

"Okay, if you want to move out, you can try to move out. But if you have anything to tell mom, do you hear me?"

Fu Jia agreed to come down, and talked with his father Fu Weimin again in the evening.The father's reaction was not as intense as that of the mother's, and more doubts about how long his independence could last, thinking that he would soon be unbearable and come back.

In any case, Fu Jia has made up his mind.

It took him three or four days to pack his luggage, and he didn't bring any valuables, even the ones he had taken before were returned.Finally, I packed some necessary clothes and daily necessities, and called a Jinbei to take them away.

On the day of leaving, Fu's mother wiped tears behind her, and even Sister Wang's eyes were red.Fu Weimin didn't show up, so he probably thought it was ridiculous.Fu Jia sat in the co-driver, looking at the villas gradually moving away in the rearview mirror, feeling more relieved.

After moving the things, the driver suddenly asked for an extra charge of 300 yuan, saying that it was because there was no elevator here, and he didn't know it before he came.Fu Jia thought it was the market price, so he gave it without asking.

In the afternoon, I roughly cleaned up the bedroom, and placed an order for a single sofa and a new bathroom water heater.I don’t feel much when spending money, and the disadvantages only appear at night——

The rental software reminded him to pay the rent.

Because he is determined to be independent, he will not use his parents' money anymore.But the savings in the salary card are not much. After paying the three-month rent, it changed from five figures to four figures. Before, it was only enough for him for a day or two.

How can it be spent so fast?

Sitting down and doing the math, the money can hardly be traced.There is no way, the next days can only be tightened, and Pei Xiaoou only ordered McDonald's when he came to Wenju on weekends.

"If you are really short of money, you can rent out the second bedroom." Xiaoou suggested to him, "This way you will be more financially comfortable."

Fu Jia immediately said, "No."

"why not?"

He didn't answer, Xiaoou stared at him: "You are not still expecting senior brother to move back, are you?"

He stared at the McDonald's bag on the coffee table: "I don't have any."

"So you don't like him anymore?"

"There's nothing you like or dislike." He looked away, "I'm not even worthy of being his friend."

I have done so many wrong things, whether it was four years ago or four years later, how can I expect Xu Shuyuan to change his mind?Besides, the parents are still in a mess, and there will be a lot of troubles waiting to be dealt with in the future.

Pei Xiaoou stared at him and sighed: "Don't say that, at least in my eyes you are getting better and better, brother just doesn't know."

Fu Jia smiled: "Let's not talk about this anymore, Ding Xu and I will go hiking this weekend, will you go?"

Xiaoou thought for a while: "Go."

This surprised Fu Jia.

"You're not afraid of being awkward with Ding Xu."

"What's embarrassing about us." She spread her hands, "We are at best trial and error, no matter when we meet each other, we are still friends, unlike you. But you still have the energy to climb the mountain, tidying up the house is enough."

"Ding Xu said to treat guests to dinner tonight."

"Oh." She burst out laughing, "It turns out that someone took advantage of me, so I have to go."

Cleaning up the room that night was exhausting.

It may be due to excessive fatigue, or it may be that I caught a cold while sleeping with wet hair in the hotel. In short, the physical discomfort finally dissipated after a few days.

Fu Jia woke up the next morning with a stuffy nose, top-heavy when putting on clothes, and almost passed the subway stop.Being so muddled, there was a lot of mistakes in work this morning.

The manager called him to the desk to reprimand him. Seeing his rare quietness, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Aren't you convinced? Talk about it."

"No." He shook his head, his throat hurt when he spoke.

A stack of documents was photographed on his head: "Wake up, cheer up, do you know what you look like now?"

"what."

"Breakdown." The manager glanced at him, "I was dumped."

He couldn't speak, and couldn't laugh or cry in his heart.

It's more than being dumped, it's even more embarrassing than that. I took off my clothes to seduce others, but the other party was not interested at all.I am afraid that there is no one in this world who is more shameless and shameless than himself, maybe Xu Shuyuan will look down on him from now on.

But it's useless to think about it, he has done everything, no matter how Xu Shuyuan thinks about it, he doesn't regret it.Even if you give him another chance, he will do it again.

Thinking about it, Fu Jia felt his head sinking even more.

After sitting down, the work area was really boring. He used the company's chat software to send a message to Pei Xiaoou: "I feel sick and want to vomit, can you accompany me to buy a pharmacy at noon? See you at the Grand Hyatt Fountain at 1 o'clock."

After clicking send, I was stunned.

--wrong person.

The dialog box that used to chat the most was next to Pei Xiaoou's, and it was on, so it was inertial to click the wrong one.

Fu Jia hurriedly withdrew, and Xu Shuyuan's profile picture disappeared in the next second.

Did he see it?

You should have seen it, otherwise you won't be offline.Fu Jia stared at the screen in a trance, with an unspeakable sadness escaping from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't have the heart to explain anymore.

He didn't eat during the lunch break, so he went to buy medicine with Pei Xiaoou nearby on an empty stomach, and it was already 1:[-] when he came back.Passing by the square in front of Grand Hyatt, I stopped for some reason.

"What are you looking at?" Xiaoou asked.

"It's nothing." He shook his head, laughing at himself in his heart, how dare he think about it?

But he still involuntarily stepped forward, and within a few steps, he caught a familiar figure above the steps.

The fountain was not on, and the round marble platform must be cold and icy.Xu Shuyuan sat there facing the gate, quietly smoking a cigarette, his back was heroic and a little depressed.

Fu Jia's breathing stopped for a moment, she turned her head and said "wait for me here" to Xiaoou, and then ran up, all the way to the last step.

The footsteps were so obvious that no matter how poor Xu Shuyuan's hearing was, he could still notice them.

Turning his head to see the person coming, he took the cigarette out of his mouth, moved his eyes from Fu Jia's face to the medicine in his hand, and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Are you waiting for me?" Fu Jia's eyes were anxious, and his heart was very disturbed, so he didn't have the confidence to speak.

Xu Shuyuan's tone was calm: "What are you talking about?"

"I—" Fu Jia choked, and flinched even more, "I thought you saw my message. I sent it by mistake in the morning. I originally wanted to send it to Xiaoou. I thought, I thought you didn't see it."

Xu Shuyuan stood up.

He was wearing black leather shoes, with some soot on the uppers, and it was obvious that he had been sitting for a while.

"I really didn't see it," he put out his cigarette and said coldly, "Even if I saw it, I wouldn't come here."

"Then you are..."

"smokes."

His eyes were originally wise and deep, but now they are cold and mocking.

"Stop smoking so much." Fu Jia's throat was hoarse, and he jumped out word by word, "It's not good for your health."

"so what."

"What so?"

"It's not good for your health." Xu Shuyuan seemed to have lost his patience, his shoulders loosened, and his eyes gradually sank, "This is my business. I am very troubled by your meddling."

Fu Jia was silent, and watched him leave, and joined the colleagues who came out of the Grand Hyatt lobby.

Not only meddling in other people's affairs, but also being passionate, looking for troubles, and suffering.
