The difference between cloud and mud

Jiang Tong knew exactly what kind of life Xiao Fengtai lived before the two reunited, but he never had the chance to witness it with his own eyes.It was obviously expected, but when he was there and witnessed Xiao Fengtai drinking strong alcohol on the dance floor and rubbing hands with strange girls, Jiang Tong found that he was far less magnanimous than imagined.

"Get out with me!" He roughly grabbed Xiao Fengtai's arm and shouted in his ear.The music was deafening, and Jiang Tong could feel the pain in his vocal cords from roaring, but he could hardly hear his own voice.

"I have something to tell you!" He didn't care whether Xiao Fengtai heard it or not, he wanted to drag him out.There are people all around, young bodies that are jumping, screaming, sweating and laughing, with countless arms waving in the air, like water plants drifting with the waves.The thrust comes from all directions, it is an ocean current that changes direction all the time, and it is like a swamp that smells of pungent perfume.Jiang Tong found himself struggling.

What's more, Xiao Fengtai didn't cooperate.He frowned and looked at Jiang Tong, perhaps because of alcohol, his vision was slack, and his reaction was slower than usual.

"What are you doing here?" He yelled at Jiang Tong: "Who told you to come—"

Jiang Tong didn't answer, Xiao Fengtai giggled again.Instead of struggling, he moved closer to Jiang Tong, making a gesture to kiss him.

Jiang Tong snatched the wine bottle in his hand and poured it on Xiao Fengtai.

"Wake up." The laser lights are colorful, reflecting his expressionless face: "I have something to tell you."

Finally squeezed out the door, both of them were disheveled, as if they had experienced a big battle.Xiao Fengtai was especially embarrassed. He was wearing a dark green T-shirt, and because he was splashed with agave all over his face, his whole body exuded a strong smell of spirits, like an olive soaked in alcohol.

Ethanol evaporates faster than water, and evaporation drives the loss of body surface heat energy.When the night wind blew, Xiao Fengtai's eyes gradually cleared up, but he still leaned against the wall in a leisurely manner: "Tell me something, I still have a friend who will come later."

Before Jiang Tong could speak, he seemed to think of something suddenly, and smiled with a low head: "Don't worry, Fang Zhixing told me that Hua Yu will stand by your side when voting."

"It's okay, I'll go back first." He waved his hand perfunctorily to Jiang Tong, and turned to leave.

Jiang Tong grabbed his hand: "I didn't come for Huaqing."

Xiao Fengtai turned around, doubting sincerely: "Apart from Huaqing, what other business do we have to talk about?"

"Did you misunderstand something?" Jiang Tong said anxiously: "Photo exposure will indeed be a bit tricky. The company has issued a statement and entrusted a public relations company to handle it. I will interview shareholders one by one to clarify the relationship between Huayu and Huaqing."

"I never thought that we would be separated because of this, and we shouldn't—"

"Enough." Xiao Fengtai interrupted Jiang Tong: "Let's stop here."

He raised his head and looked at Jiang Tong, with a mocking smile on his lips.The neon lights reflected in his eyes, deep red and light blue, flickering and changing, Jiang Tong has never realized that Xiao Fengtai's eyes can be so cold.

"I'm too tired to continue playing love games with you. I'm serious this time. Let's get together and break up. Let's call it a day."

Jiang Tong turned a deaf ear to his refusal: "Many companies will encounter black public relations. You said it yourself, it is not a big problem. If you have misunderstood anything before, I apologize. Can you give me a chance."

"It's not a matter of public relations!" Xiao Fengtai gradually became irritable: "Can we be like this forever? If we continue to be together, this kind of thing will happen again. Could it be that we hide and hide all our lives, acting as middle school students who have puppy love and escape from their parents?"

"What sustains our relationship right now? It's lust and passion, it's hormone overproduction. Lust fades over time."

"It's good to stop here." He didn't know that there was sadness in his eyes: "It's good to get together and leave, everyone has no burden, and we can still be friends in a few years."

Looking at the small red and blue neon lights flashing in his eyes, Jiang Tong felt blessed in an instant.

"You're scared."

Xiao Fengtai stared at him, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

"Stop being sentimental." He said viciously, "You narcissist, hypocrite, selfish pervert. How many times do I have to say it before you understand!"

"Stop being sentimental! I will eventually... eventually return to Singapore."

Jiang Tong smiled: "Then you go back, I can build a research and development center in Singapore."

"You know that's not what I mean."

"The Xiao family is very traditional..." He murmured: "Jiang Tong, it's not anyone's fault, we...we just can't go back to the past."

"Do you love me?"

Xiao Fengtai was amused by Jiang Tong's question, he smiled, but his voice began to choke.

"Teacher Jiang, stop being willful." He said softly, "So what if you love, so what if you don't love?...What's the use of love?"

Jiang Tong stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Fengtai's shoulder, meeting his eyes.

"Answer my question - do you want to stay with me?"

"You think about it." Jiang Tong whispered: "We love each other, we love each other so we feel happy every minute and every second together, isn't that enough? At this age, we all know how difficult it is to be happy."

Xiao Fengtai turned his head and lowered his eyelashes, avoiding Jiang Tong's probing gaze.

"Can you give up Huaqing? Can I leave Xiao's house?" He opened Jiang Tong's fingers one by one: "Sometimes this world is so magical that I feel that there are indeed supernatural forces. It has been ten years, going round and round , We have changed a lot, and it seems that nothing has changed. It took a lot of effort to build something, but when it saw the light, it fell apart."

"Let me go." He sighed, "Let me go, let me go first this time."

"No one will leave." Jiang Tong said: "I will prove it to you, we will not repeat the mistakes made ten years ago."

"I'm sorry for hurting you ten years ago. I know you won't trust me easily. But... please give me a little confidence. Even if you don't have confidence, please give me some time."

Xiao Fengtai smiled.

"Teacher Jiang..."

He passed Jiang Tong without looking back, and once again sank into the hustle and bustle of feasting and feasting.
