Difficult round

The day after the mangosteen was discharged from the hospital, Shen Qi took it downstairs for a walk, and when he walked to the fountain pool in the central square of the community, he saw Gu Yan turning from another road from a distance, it seemed that he had just returned from overtime work.

Mangkhut soon found his "big daddy" and couldn't wait to rush towards him.Gouzi has grown rapidly recently, and his strength is getting stronger and stronger, Shen Qi almost can't hold the leash behind him.

"Wang Wang! Wang!"

Hearing the movement behind him, Gu Yan turned around, his eyes lingered on the man and the dog for a moment, just when Shen Qi thought that the other party would leave immediately, the man actually walked towards them.

"Gu Yan." Shen Qi was inexplicably nervous, he didn't know how to move his hands and feet.

Gu Yan let out a "hmm", squatted down and grasped the two paws of the mangosteen.Shen Qi also squatted down.The mangosteen poked out its tongue hastily, and its tail swung the dirt in its mouth.

"Bah! Bah, bah!" Shen Xi wiped his mouth speechlessly, but saw Gu Yan twitching the corners of his mouth, as if he was smiling.

For some reason, he said: "There are chairs over there, let's sit with the mangosteen for a while? It won't poop today, so we have to walk around for a while."

Gu Yan never raised his head: "You guys go, I'm going back."

"Oh." Shen Qi was extremely lost.

When the two were about to get up, several children came over on skateboards.The night was already deep, and they were all squatting again. The children didn't realize that there was anyone here, and it was too late when they wanted to brake again: "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Be careful!" "Be careful!" The two said almost at the same time.In the end, the man avoided it, but the dog was frightened, and rushed into the nearby fountain pool, and then ran out whining.

"Woof woof!" The two cheap dads were thrown into the water.

Shen Qi: "..."

Gu Yan: "..."

"I don't think it should poop today." Gu Yan said.There was an indistinct smile in his tone.

"I think so too." Shen Qi was startled, and then wanted to laugh a little, "And I think it won't have canned food tomorrow."

"Hmm..." Gu Yan let out a chuckle from his throat.It hit Shen Xi's ear dully.

Now Shen Qi was really sure that he was smiling.

In a dazed moment, Gu Yan took the leash from him, and led a person and a dog towards the unit building.

When he was about to go downstairs, he suddenly said: "Shen Qi, I imagined such a picture a long time ago." Then he turned his head and repeated, "Shen Qi, I used to think like this often."

Shen Qi froze on the spot, his hands and feet felt cold, his body felt like heart-breaking pain, his ears were buzzing, his eyes were black and white, he could hardly stand up.It wasn't until Gu Yan had gone far away that Xiao Shanzhu turned his head and called to him, that he collected his mind and chased after him.

For the next month, nothing special happened, and the days passed smoothly.In the middle of the month, all departments of the company were busy, and the two of them bumped into each other occasionally, and they just nodded and said hello to each other, and then went back to their respective busy lives.

Sometimes it is also encountered downstairs in the community.It was probably because Gu Yan had a social event that night, and when he came back, he ran into Shen Qi who was taking the mangosteen down for a stroll.

Most of the time, Gu Yan would pretend not to see them, and walk past them without saying a word, but Mangchuk really liked him, and he could always spot the other party from a long distance away, and then barking at him, The tail wagged so much that only a vague shadow could be seen.Excited too much.

If Gu Yan ignored it, it would drag Shen Qi and rush towards the person, lying at his feet in an extremely shameless manner, revealing its soft belly, begging for petting.

Sometimes Gu Yan would stop to touch it, and sometimes not, the mangosteen would cling to his trousers clinging to it, whining and barking and refusing to let it go.

If it weren't for Shen Qi still holding the rope around his neck, this heartless little bastard would have left his old father, Shen Qi, and ran away with Gu Yan, a cheap father.

But this trick is very effective for Gu Yan, and he will basically compromise in the end.

Shen Qi was very envious of mangosteen.He also wanted to be touched, hugged, and kissed by Gu Yan.

But it's impossible, although Gu Yan is not as indifferent to him as before, but it is not much better, and he is not very warm.Avoid it if you can, and say hello if you can't.

People's hearts are always not easy to be satisfied, when Gu Yan was cold to him, he thought, if Gu Yan could take care of me a little bit, I would be satisfied.

Now Gu Yan is really willing to look at him once in a while, but he thinks, if Gu Yan can share his tenderness towards mangosteen with me, that would be great.

In the blink of an eye, it's mid-July, and Gu Yan's birthday will be in a few days.

Shen Qi didn't care much about his birthday, a few boxes of lo-mei and a few cans of beer with Tang Yan counted as a birthday.But for Gu Yan, he always took it to heart, and pulled Tang Yan to give him advice.

However, Tang Yan himself is an older single young man who has never been in a relationship, what reliable advice can he give?

The two started discussing a month in advance, discussing and discussing again and again, and they didn't discuss the reason when it was their birthday.

The two had a drink date after get off work this day, Tang Yan got a little drunk, patted his forehead and said to Shen Qi: "Why don't you propose on your birthday."

Shen Xi looked at him like a psychopath.

It was almost a year since the two broke up, and Gu Yan finally started to ease his attitude towards him. He was crazy to propose at this time.

What are you drawing?Tu Gu Yan doesn't hate himself enough?

But Tang Yan said: "Do you think that improving your attitude is a good thing? Let me tell you, it will only happen if you really don't care and let go. If there is still hatred or love, how can you face the person who loves or hates calmly? people? Can you?"

Shen Qi was stopped by the question.Because he can't.

Tang Yan said again: "It doesn't really matter whether he agrees to this marriage or not. Anyway, you are out of the closet, so you might as well ask for the marriage."

"Everything is in order. The most important thing for us now is to show this attitude first, so that Gu Ge can know that you are serious this time, right?"

Although this sounded like a bad idea, and it couldn't be studied deeply, it would be very untenable, but Shen Qi couldn't help but feel that what he said actually made a little sense.

At this time last year, Gu Yan ordered a ring and was about to propose to him, but he slapped Gu Yan hard.Then this time, let him do it.

He cut out a heart and handed it to Gu Yan. Whether he wanted it, lost it, crushed it or scratched it, it was up to Gu Yan's will.

It's not that one person has to be equal once, just like Tang Yan said, this is an attitude.

He hurt Gu Yan so deeply that Gu Yan still didn't believe that he loved him, so he just told him and showed him.

This marriage proposal is doomed to fail, but Shen Qi is determined to go all out.

Even if moths are thrown into the flames, and the body is smashed to pieces.

……

Gu Yan's birthday was always on a working day, so he often felt wronged and asked for comfort in front of Shen Qi.Shen Qi sometimes feels like raising an overage child, and he can't laugh or cry about it.

Last year, Gu Yan's birthday was Wednesday.Because it was the middle of the year, both of them were so busy that they didn't touch the ground. They took advantage of the time to have a candlelight dinner in the evening after get off work, and then went back to the company to work overtime.

It's still not a weekend this year, not only that, but it happens to be a Monday.

Shen Qicai was neither grand nor rude, but he booked a box at a certain internet celebrity restaurant without blinking an eye. Because he went to work on Monday and had no time to set it up, he simply booked it for two days in a row.

Everything was ready, Shen Qi went to work in the company as usual on Monday.He has been deliberating over his words these days, thinking about how to make an invitation to Gu Yan tonight without crossing the line.But the more you cherish it, the more cautious you become. No matter how you think about it, you feel inappropriate and afraid of being rejected.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the two met in the tea room.At that time, Gu Yan had finished picking up the coffee and was about to leave when he bumped into Shen Xi who was out of his mind at the door. The coffee was a little full, because the collision spilled a little, and some of their clothes were inevitably stained.

It was at this time that Shen Qi woke up suddenly, frantically fumbling for his pockets.But of course it is impossible for him to keep a tissue in his pocket all the time, and after touching it for a long time, he didn't find anything, so he could only apologize and say, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

This is very false.But it really wasn't intentional. He had something on his mind, and his work was affected. He made a lot of mistakes in the past few days, and was scolded bloody by the supervisor and director.

Coming to the tea room at this moment, rather than pouring water and coffee, I actually want to ease my emotions and force myself to think of the reason.

He has already delayed a lot of work because of this, so he can't continue to be so unprofessional.But she didn't expect to bump into Gu Yan.

Such a bloody coffee spilling incident would be considered clichéd in novels and TV dramas, but he couldn't prove to Gu Yan that it was indeed an accident.

"It's okay." Gu Yan didn't care.Perhaps in his opinion, it doesn't matter whether it was accidental or intentional, because he really didn't care.

It was also at this moment that Shen Qi was extremely thankful that he was over alcohol that night and listened to Tang Yan's unreliable proposal.Not caring really hurts more than indifference or hate.

Another colleague came to the tea room, and the two of them blocked the way consciously, and stepped aside in a hurry.

The female colleague is from the marketing department, she greeted Gu Yan happily after seeing Gu Yan, and then went into the tea room to make lemon black tea.

Gu Yan walked to the shelf next to him, took a pack of tissues, squatted down and wiped the coffee spilled on the ground.Shen Qi stood aside and looked at him, neither speaking nor moving.

The female colleague came out after making tea, looked at Shen Qi with weird eyes, then said hello to Gu Yan, and left.

When she reached the door of the office, she glanced back in the direction of the tea room.However, no one inside found out.

Gu Yan threw the waste tissue into the trash can at the door, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Shen Qi.

At this time, one of the two was close to the door panel, and the other walked to the door. They were quite close to each other. Gu Yan turned his face slightly and gave him a questioning look.

"Tang Yan called me just now and said that we will have dinner together in the evening. Let me tell you that if you have no other arrangements for the evening..."
