To rely on others is to promise each other

"Brother, what are you thinking?"

When Pei Shanqing was in a trance, Jiang Yubai stuck to his back, wrapped his arms around him naturally, and lowered his head to talk in his ear.

Pei Shanqing shuddered inexplicably. Jiang Yubai noticed his movement and said apologetically, "Did I scare you? I'm sorry."

Just after they came over, they found the switch and turned on the light. After returning to the light, Pei Shanqing avoided Jiang Yubai's embrace as a matter of course. Jiang Yubai's eyes dimmed a little, but he didn't show anything on the bright side, so he continued to decipher went.

Pei Shanqing's absent-mindedness was obvious. At the end, Ji Xiao saw him avoiding Jiang Yubai's hand, and felt that something was wrong, so he pulled him to his side and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you two? There's something wrong with you."

Pei Shanqing hesitated to speak, so he could only smile bitterly. When he raised his eyes, he found Jiang Yubai was looking at this side through the mirror on the door, and he felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Suspicion, once it starts, pours out like a flood from the sluice.

Pei Shanqing guesses Jiang Yubai's thoughts all the time, trying to analyze the meaning behind every action he makes. He can confirm that Jiang Yubai likes him, but those hearsay truths linger in his ears like the whispers of demons.

Jiang Yubai was obviously not like this before, what made him like this now?

Pei Shanqing could easily find the answer, because the answer was himself.

Whenever he is soft-hearted and wants to throw himself into liking regardless, all kinds of shackles will always hit him and keep him firmly in place.

Pei Shanqing was determined to find a solution for both ends, but Jiang Yubai's presence was always disturbing his mind, so he hid in the small lounge to sort out his thoughts on the pretext that the studio was busy.

Jiang Yubai came to him several times, unexpectedly he didn't lose his temper, and he didn't ask him again if he would celebrate his birthday with him.On the contrary, he took the initiative to keep a proper distance from Pei Shanqing, as if he was just delivering desserts to the employees.

Holding the exquisite cupcakes, the staff joked with Pei Shanqing with a smile: "Boss, let Mr. Jiang come to work every day."

Pei Shanqing thought to himself that I didn't order less takeaways to improve your life. Seeing a few girls talking around Jiang Yubai, I felt unspeakably awkward, so I simply went back to the lounge.

Pei Shanqing lived in the studio for five days in a row. In the morning, he got up in a daze from the simple folding bed, glanced at the calendar on the wall, and suddenly remembered that today was Jiang Yubai's birthday.

The birthday present that was prepared long ago is placed on the corner of the table. It is a vertical handmade decoration, and the transparent glass block is wrapped in the nanmu frame, like a picture frame enclosing an ocean. If you pick it up and put it on Under the light, patiently adjust the angle, and the special metal inside will refract the dazzling light, turning into a bright sea of ​​stars.

The ordered cake was delivered on time before get off work. Pei Shanqing was standing inside the revolving door of the building, carrying the gift box, separated from the majestic rain outside by only a layer of glass.

Pei Shanqing was thinking about the possibility of protecting the cake in his arms and rushing to the car in the rain to ensure the integrity of the gift box, when suddenly someone stopped him.

"Boss, don't you have an umbrella?" Zhu Ying, the female supervisor who has always had a good relationship with him, stood behind her, holding an umbrella in her hand, "Let's go out together, I'll take you to the car."

Pei Shanqing thought for a while and said, "Let's go, I remember your home is also in Xincheng District, I'll take you back directly."

The female supervisor didn't evade much. Seeing that he was carrying things in both hands, she opened an umbrella to cover the heads of the two of them. However, the umbrellas used by girls are generally not big, and the rain is very strong. There is a lot of rain on the square leading to the parking lot. .

The high heels she was wearing were inconvenient, but she was too embarrassed to help Pei Shanqing's arm. Although the two of them were careful enough, they still did not avoid stepping on the sewer hidden under the puddle.

She staggered, seeing that she was about to fall to the ground, Pei Shanqing didn't have time to think too much, and hurriedly reached out to grab her, only to avoid the tragedy.

The two got into the car with difficulty, most of the clothes on their bodies were wet, Pei Shanqing thought about it, let her sit in the passenger seat, and asked her to help with the cake.

"Is this for your girlfriend's birthday?" Zhu Ying asked curiously.

Pei Shanqing said, "My brother's birthday."

"Oh." Zhu Ying looked at the wet cardboard box outside, recognized the shop name on it, and said, "Wow, boss, it's hard to get an appointment at this shop, can I open it and have a look?"

Pei Shanqing was also worried about whether it was damaged just now, so he didn't refuse her, "Don't untie the ribbon, just open half of it and have a look."

Zhu Ying struggled to open a small slit, and said in surprise, "Boss, did you design this pattern yourself? I can't quite tell what it is."

The decoration on it was indeed designed by Pei Shanqing in advance. The main pattern is the wave that echoes the gift, but it is not so abstract that it cannot be recognized.

"It's the waves, can't you tell?" Pei Shanqing said, "Maybe the pattern I drew was a bit sloppy, and it doesn't look good."

Zhu Ying looked at it carefully for a long time, and handed the cake to him while waiting for the red light, "This looks like white cream, could it be overturned?"

Seeing that it was indeed true, Pei Shanqing quickly untied the ribbon and opened the box to check, as expected, it was knocked over in half.

The matter has come to this, and he can only find a way to solve the problem. Pei Shanqing closed the box and handed it to Zhu Ying: "Forget it, I'll buy another one later, do you want to eat it? It's not appropriate for me to take two back."

Zhu Ying is a foodie and doesn't pay much attention to appearance, so she said, "Thank you boss, I'll treat you to coffee at work tomorrow."

The raindrops were crackling on the roof of the car, the noise was annoying, the wipers were swinging mechanically, and the lights were sometimes bright and sometimes blurred. Pei Shanqing hummed and stopped talking. The card is bright red, which is very conspicuous.

Pei Shanqing sent Zhu Ying downstairs, and took a detour to a dessert shop to pick out a temporary cake. Although he was not as diligent as before, he was not crude and perfunctory.

But when Pei Shanqing opened the door, the room was quiet, all the lights were off, the sound of rain came into his ears through the half-open window, and he forgot what year it was in a daze.

Could it be that he thought he had broken his promise again and ran out to play?

Thinking this way, Pei Shanqing shook the water droplets from his hair, put the gifts and cake on the coffee table, took out his mobile phone and called Jiang Yubai.

But it kept showing that there was no one answering. After dialing for 10 minutes, Pei Shanqing still couldn't sit still. He grabbed the key and was about to go out to find someone.

As soon as he put his hand on the handle, there was the rustle of a key being inserted into the door lock outside. Pei Shanqing was stunned for a moment and the door opened suddenly, and the edge of the door hit the wall. Jiang Yubai stood in the dark corridor, the forehead His hair was wet and stuck to his face, and his expression at the moment could not be seen.

"Where have you been? I didn't answer your phone calls. Don't you know where to hide from the rain without an umbrella?" Pei Shanqing said, ignoring other things. He pulled him into the door and turned to the bathroom for him. Find towels.

Jiang Yubai gasped for breath, trying to hold back the overwhelming emotions in his heart, but everything he saw with his own eyes was so real, replaying in front of him like a revolving lantern.

The indifference and alienation shown by Pei Shanqing for several days in a row made Jiang Yubai understand that he was deliberately avoiding himself. He tried to follow Pei Shanqing's rules, but he couldn't help but find a reason to look at him.

When he heard that Pei Shanqing called the dessert shop to reserve a cake in advance, he was full of hope and fidgeted all day waiting, looking forward to the next second when Pei Shanqing pushed the door open and said happy birthday to him with a smile.

But there was an unexpected situation. In the evening, Jiang Yubai looked at the non-stop rain curtain outside the window, and suddenly remembered that Pei Shanqing had no habit of carrying an umbrella at all, and there was no umbrella in the office, and the parking lot was some distance away from the studio. It will rain badly.

He hurriedly put on his umbrella and took a taxi to find Pei Shanqing. The weather was broadcast on the radio: "The Central Meteorological Observatory issued a yellow warning for thunder and lightning. It is expected that there may be heavy precipitation and other weather within six hours. The general public should be prepared before going out."

The sound of electric current was mixed in it. Jiang Yubai looked at the blurred lights of high-rise buildings through the rain-soaked car window, and suddenly remembered the day when he saw Pei Shanqing again. a rain.

At that time, Pei Shanqing said that he would not raise stupid children, but he still compromised and hugged him who was having a fever.

Jiang Yubai tried his best not to recall Pei Shanqing's escape during this period, and persuaded himself to indulge in beauty like hypnosis, but when he walked to the square downstairs of Pei Shanqing's studio with an umbrella, he froze there instantly , unable to move an inch.

Jiang Yubai saw Pei Shanqing sharing an umbrella with another female colleague. His hand rested on the woman's arm, holding a beautifully wrapped gift box in his hand. The two got into the car together in an intimate manner, and she even sat Enter the co-pilot.

In Jiang Yubai's memory, the only people Pei Shanqing allowed to sit in the co-pilot were him and Ji Xiao. At that time, he seemed to feel that the blood in his whole body was flowing backwards, and the chill of the rainy day invaded his bone marrow little by little.

He didn't know how long he stood there before he ran to the side of the road and took a taxi to catch up with Pei Shanqing again. The taxi driver saw that he was nervous and comforted him: "Young man, you can't force things about your relationship."

While waiting for the red light, the figures of the two people in front were swaying in the car. Jiang Yubai couldn't help but think of the time he kissed him forcefully in the car. It's ridiculous to say that Pei Shanqing rejected his confession, but didn't embrace him , accepted his kiss obediently.

Are you accepting her now?

Jiang Yubai bit his lower lip tightly, and watched Pei Shanqing send her downstairs in the community. Holding the beautiful cake box in her hand, she stood at the door of the unit and waved goodbye to him.

Did you see clearly?What you thought you cared about was the sincerity he dedicated to another person, and everything was just self-indulgence.

Jiang Yubai was walking on the road in a daze holding an umbrella. The lights in the shop windows were turned off ahead of time. He looked at his reflection quietly. For a moment, he threw away the umbrella and let the raindrops hit him.

With the wet long hair stuck to his body, all Jiang Yubai could think about was the woman's smiling face, and guessed what Pei Shanqing might say like a maniac.

He might praise her dressing, sniff the light fragrance in her hair, take her hand and kiss it... That was the picture that Jiang Yubai imagined happened to him countless times, and now it feels like being thrown Like a broken mirror, fragmented.

Jiang Yubai went to cut his hair short, then walked all the way back, opened the door, saw Pei Shanqing's anxious face, and his dizziness became more and more intense.

Before losing consciousness, he muttered to himself: "Pei Shanqing, you are really annoying."
