"What do you want from me?" I looked at that face, and my mind became a little complicated again.
Xu Xiaomo asked without answering, "What about you?"
"Don't you have anything to say?"
The man's eyes are very focused, as if trying to catch some clues on my face.
From this angle, I realized that the other party's eyes are dark brown, not as dark as mine.Every time I face Xu Xiaomo, I will unconsciously look for similarities and differences.
I watched him in a daze, and it took me a while to think about replying to the man.Before I could say the word "no", I heard the other party's almost incomprehensible sigh.
"Forget it," he said flatly, "don't you want to answer?"
I subconsciously wanted to say no.
Then I heard the other party continue: "Since you don't want to answer, then so be it."
"You answer one question, you can ask me another one."
"Ah?" I was stunned, "What do you mean?"
"You asked me what I meant to answer." He said solemnly, "I've finished answering, it's your turn."
I:".….."
Xu Xiaomo looked at me seriously, as if he was waiting for me to speak.Seeing this, my forehead twitched, and I said helplessly, "No, I have nothing to ask you."
"Then why are you avoiding me?" Xu Xiaomo asked again.
I replied without thinking, "I didn't hide from you."
The man didn't speak, he squinted his eyes, obviously expressing doubts.
I looked into the other person's eyes, inevitably I was still a little guilty, but I still insisted: "No."
"Really?" He insisted.
Just when the two of us were at a stalemate, a flash of light flashed in my mind, and I hurriedly said, "You asked two questions!"
Xu Xiaomo suddenly laughed.The other party is good-looking in itself, but now the corners of his mouth are curled up, which makes people unable to look away, just like me.
He noticed my gaze, and his smile disappeared immediately, and he said, "Just ask."
"What on earth did you ask me to come up for?" I asked what I wanted to ask the most, and what I cared about the most.
When I was waiting for him just now, I thought about it a lot. There were normal inquiry work, but also absurd self-indulgence.After all, after seeing that fox, I couldn't stop thinking about it.
In Gu Shang's mouth, Xu Xiaomo is a person who has no emotions or desires.
Xu Xiaomo didn't hesitate much, and told me the answer directly: "I thought you were going to resign."
"Resign?" I froze.
"Isn't it?" he asked back.
I paused, unable to answer the words for a moment.Because what the other party said is indeed true.
But this person is too scary, right?How did he think I was going to resign?
I was thinking anxiously, and in the next second Xu Xiaomo dropped another bomb.
He said word by word: "I think it might be because you found out that we are in the same company. But this is not the main reason, the main reason is because of Gu Shang."
The glass in my hand almost dropped.
"Did Gu Shang tell you something?" The man continued to ask.
I clenched the cup in my hand, "No, he didn't say anything..."
The next second, I suddenly thought of something, looked at Xu Xiaomo in disbelief, and blurted out, "You know everything?"
Xu Xiaomo didn't respond, he raised his eyebrows, as if I didn't know why.
Also, how could the other party not notice the obvious things.
At that moment, my brain seemed to freeze, and I couldn't react.At the same time, there was embarrassment and shame rising from the bottom of my heart.
I remembered that when I was in elementary school, I made a bet with my classmates in a fit of anger and stole a pack of jelly from the canteen near my home.Then I thought no one knew about it, but I saw the owner of the canteen at home on the weekend.
A classmate lived opposite the door, and everyone in the class knew afterwards: I am not only a thief, but also a little liar.
Because I told them, that's what I bought.
"I knew it, you don't have pocket money at all." They looked at me and laughed.
They were right. In fact, growing up, my dad only gave my brother pocket money.
The day before I stole something, I mustered up the courage to ask my dad for money, but he still had the same line: "Do you think you are your brother?"
When my elder brother, who was three years older than me, found out, he also said with disdain, "Do you think you are me?"
What they don't know is that what I want is not jelly, nor is it money.
I read a sentence in a book before that the essence of human beings will never change.Just like me, I was born as an appendage of others, and it is still the case today.
Thinking of this, I smiled helplessly, pretending to be relaxed and said: "I look a lot like you, right?"
Xu Xiaomo said, "This is nothing funny."
I looked up at him, but didn't see the look of distaste and disgust on his face.
"You're nothing like me," he said.
"you are you."
Suddenly there was a place in my heart that was empty, like a stone that had been pressed there and was suddenly taken away.
After a long time, I hummed, "Thank you."
I stared into the man's eyes and couldn't help asking, "Why are you...so nice to me?"
Whether it is from Gu Shang or what I saw with my own eyes, this person is obviously not a warm-hearted person.But it was such a cold temper that approached me again and again, and even subtly affected me.
"You think I'm nice to you?" he asked me back.
"Uh……"
"You're right, I'm good to you. Because I..."
He looked at me quietly for a while, then suddenly reached out to me.I thought he was going to touch my face, and my conditioned reflex was to shrink back.
The man's voice stopped abruptly, something flickered in his eyes, but he didn't take back his hand in the end, but put his hand on my collar.
Then he finished, "Because I regard you as a friend."
friend?
The answer was beyond my expectation. I frowned and remained silent for a long time.
Xu Xiaomo tugged at my collar, just like that time in the elevator.
"Is there any problem?" He said flatly, "I think I hit it off with you."
In a sense, it's quite congenial.I complained silently in my heart.
I shook my head, looked at the serious eyes of the other party, and thought to myself that it really seemed that I was thinking too much.But I didn't breathe a sigh of relief because of this, but my heart was even more stuffy.
"So you really thought about resigning?" The other party seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and brought it up again.
"No." I said honestly, "I thought about it before, but now I don't want to."
Xu Xiaomo lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking about.Finally he nodded and said it was all right.
After that, Li Xing came in once and told Xu Xiaomo that there was a meeting tonight.
Xu Xiaomo sent me to the elevator door, I was a little embarrassed, but he was very calm.
While waiting for the elevator, he turned around and pulled off my mask unexpectedly.
I was startled, and I stepped back, but the man grabbed my arm.
When I finally recovered, the other party also let go.
I looked at him for a while and said, "I have a cold."
"Not contagious," he replied.
I don't mean that!What I want to say is can you stop pulling my mask suddenly!
The top floor was extremely quiet compared to the one below. We both stood in front of the elevator, neither of us spoke for a moment, as if we could hear each other's breathing in the air.
The elevator stopped on the first floor, and there was no movement for a long time.
As if the temperature of the other party still remained on my arm, I moved my arm.
"You..." Xu Xiaomo and I spoke at the same time, but silenced at the same time.
"Go ahead." I winked at him.
"Have you finished that book?" he asked me.
I was confused, "What book?"
"Give me that copy back."
"...No." I replied truthfully, "I don't understand."
"Haven't you seen the little prince?" He said in a dissatisfied tone.
"I've seen it." I said, "I saw it when I was a child."
As soon as I finished speaking, I saw Xu Xiaomo's expression suddenly softened.I thought I was wrong, and the next moment I was even more surprised to find that the other party showed a smile.
I thought of the man with a cold face and no smile that Gu Shang and Li Xing had mentioned.
Is it really a person? !
By the way, I didn't say anything very funny.
Master Xu, the face-changing man.
In the middle of the night, I lay on the bed and stared blankly at the business card in the address book, which had Xu Xiaomo's number on it.I was worried about Gu Shang, so I didn't dare to call Xu Xiaomo's name, but hit a fox.
My fingers paused on the text message, and after realizing what I wanted to do, I pressed the lock screen all at once.
The only light source disappeared, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
I suddenly felt like a child who never changed after being taught repeatedly, saying that I should stop contacting the other party.In a blink of an eye, the phone was saved.
But he said he considers me a friend.
The friends should send a text message...
Maybe……
Just when I was struggling, my eyes suddenly became dazzling. I blinked and found that the phone turned on by itself.
It was Xu Xiaomo's call.
For a moment, I thought I was hallucinating, but the phone rang one after another, and when I recovered, I had already pressed the call button.
"Are you asleep?" The voice on the phone was as cold as ever.
"Then who do you think you are talking to..." I replied helplessly.
"Yeah." He paused, "You slept alone?"
"...I slept with the pillow."
There was a suspicious silence on the other end of the phone.After a while, the other party's voice sounded again:
"I forgot to ask you something today."
"Do you remember what the little prince said?"
I thought about it seriously, "Pilot?"
There was no sound from the microphone.
"I have a bad memory..." I told him, "I just remember a kid and a pilot."
"I see it," he said.
I:"……"
"There's a fox over there." The man seemed to be still outside, and I heard the horn of a car.
After the background sound completely disappeared, Xu Xiaomo continued: "There is a chapter about a fox, do you remember?"
"I don't remember..." I said honestly.
So there was silence again.
"Xu Xiaomo," I recalled what the man said in the cafe before, and asked tentatively, "Did you like that chapter very much?"
"Ah."
"You like foxes, don't you?" I said.
No wonder he hung that fox on his phone.
"Do you like me to make some more for you when I have time?" The other party did not make a sound, so I hesitated for a while and said.
There was a sudden sigh from the other end of the microphone, and he asked, "Is your pig finished?"
"Pig?" I froze for a moment before remembering what he said, "It's done."
"That thing really looks like you." He said abruptly.
I almost hung up the phone.
No one wants to be called like a pig!
"Because pigs are heartless."
I was still thinking about what to say in response, but I was stunned when I heard the man's words.
"Go to bed early."
Then he didn't wait for me to ask, and hung up the phone first.
Xu Xiaomo asked without answering, "What about you?"
"Don't you have anything to say?"
The man's eyes are very focused, as if trying to catch some clues on my face.
From this angle, I realized that the other party's eyes are dark brown, not as dark as mine.Every time I face Xu Xiaomo, I will unconsciously look for similarities and differences.
