The next day was the weekend, Gu Shang went out early in the morning, and I took advantage of my free time to tidy up the house.When tidying up the desk, I dug out the rope and broke half of the little pig.

Because of the extrusion, half of the pig's face was dented, deformed so that it didn't look like a pig.

I tried to put it back on, but put it back after trying to no avail.

Seeing this pig reminded me of another thing.After a moment of hesitation, I grabbed the key and went out the door.

By the time I got back to the apartment, it was already noon.The sofa in the living room is facing the entrance. When I opened the door, I was startled by Gu Shang who was sitting on it.

Gu Shang looked dissatisfied, "Am I that scary?"

I hurriedly said no, and heard him ask again: "What did you do?"

"Buying books..." I answered truthfully.

"Why are you nervous about buying a book?" He frowned slightly and walked towards me, taking the book from my hand naturally.

I stared at his movements and became even more nervous.

"Little Prince?" He saw the title of the book clearly, and laughed aloud, "You are such an old man, you still read this?"

I thought to myself, yeah, not only me, but the man of your dreams too.

As if remembering something, he asked again, "Is this the French book you brought back?"

I said yes.

"Childish." Gu Shang made a final decision, and handed the book back by the way.

The corners of my forehead twitched. Among the reasons why Gu Shang couldn't catch up with Xu Xiaomo, maybe one of them was a sneer.

The man lacked interest in this, and sat back on the sofa to watch TV again.

I slipped back into the room without making a sound and put the book away.

Observing so far, I found that Gu Shang doesn't understand many things about Xu Xiaomo, for example, he doesn't know that the other party is afraid of water, and he doesn't know what books the other party likes to read...

But I know all these things.

Gu Shang and Xu Xiaomo have known each other for so long, not so much because Gu Shang doesn't know enough, but because the other party didn't want him to know at all.

I have known Xu Xiaomo several times, but the other party has been consciously or subconsciously revealing to me a lot of information about him, many characteristics, and even some hobbies.

why?

Could it be that it is really like what the other party said, do you think I hit it off?

I think, maybe he is the same as me, because he looks similar, so he feels kind.

The other party said they were friends, and I was still wondering what to do.

……

The length of The Little Prince is not long, and one afternoon is enough to read it.

After reading it, I remembered that I had indeed read this book when I was a child.

That was the only "gift" my dad gave me.

When I was in the third grade, I was sent to my grandmother's house in the country.The night before I transferred to another school and left home, I was called to my room by my dad.

He handed me a copy of The Little Prince, which was a bit old.I vaguely remember seeing it on my brother's desk.But I, who was young and ignorant, happily accepted it.

Then I can't remember what was said in the book, but I only remember that some corners of the book were so warped that no matter how I pressed them, I couldn't press them flat.

It is very old, unlike the one I have now, the paper is brand new and the outer seal is exquisite.I flipped through it casually, and found an illustration of a little fox.

When I watched it, I still had an impression of the previous stories, such as the pilot drawing a small box for the little prince.

It's not that I can't remember the story behind, or I haven't read it at all.Especially the part where the little prince meets the fox.

Because that book was given to the kid next door by me halfway through.

At that time, there lived a thin and weak little girl in the neighbor's house.

Children do not like to talk and have no friends.He kept his head down all day long, silent, looking pitiful.

I watched too many hero animations at that time, subconsciously regarded her as my younger sister, and pulled her together when I went in and out.

I don't like reading, so I gave the book to the child.

The next year, my dad took me back again.After that, I ran back to my hometown on vacation, only to learn that my neighbor had already moved away.

This childhood memory is buried deep in my memory. If it weren't for this book, I probably wouldn't be able to remember it.

Thinking about it now, it's just a fleeting image, and it passed in a flash in my mind.

I opened the bedside table and carefully placed the brand new book next to the black box.

……

Xu Xiaomo and I exchanged numbers, and we had no contact after the phone call that night.

No phone calls, no text messages.

I entered his number in the column of adding friends on WeChat, but it showed that there was no such number.

After a few days, I didn't know why, but I always felt uncomfortable in my heart, like a cat stuck in my heart, and I stretched out my hand to scratch it from time to time.

I was absent-mindedly eating breakfast one day when I suddenly realized the reason for my abnormality.

I wanted to talk to him, to hear his voice, to tell him that I finished that book he loved.

I brainwashed myself because we are friends.

After the brainwashing was successful, I took out my phone and thought about what to post.

Just when I was thinking about it, Gu Shang's voice suddenly sounded, "What are you doing?"

He didn't know when he walked up to me and was looking at me condescendingly.

I hurriedly pressed the phone, and I didn't have time to take back my panic expression.

"What weird things are you looking at again..." Gu Shang didn't pay much attention, murmured, and entered the kitchen behind me.

I breathed a sigh of relief in my position.

Find a suitable time to confess to Gu Shang...

No... just don't talk about it.

There is death before and after, and if I can hide once, it is only once. Why should I take the initiative to seek death.

In the end, I mustered up the courage to send a message to Xu Xiaomo, saying that I had finished reading the book.

However, the news was like a stone sinking into the sea, there was no reply for one day, two days...

A week passed and I saw neither the person nor the letter.

I suddenly thought that Xu Xiaomo might not only be good at changing faces, but also good at magic.It appears anytime and anywhere, and then suddenly disappears.

One morning, my eyelids kept twitching since I woke up.

Until I finished washing and had breakfast, and Gu Shang drove me to the side of the road, the frequency of my eyelids still twitched unabated.

Jump right eye jump Choi disaster.

After confirming again and again that it was the right eye, I panicked for no reason.

On the other side, Gu Shang stopped the car, but also turned off the engine.I immediately forgot about the eyelids and looked at him inexplicably.

I just realized that Gu Shang didn't wear a suit today, but ordinary casual clothes.There was a bad premonition in my heart.

Sure enough, I heard the boss say:

"I don't go to work today, let's take you to the door."

I refused without thinking, "No need!"

Seeing the other party's displeasure, I hurriedly said, "I'm afraid you'll be troublesome."

In the end, under my strong opposition, Gu Shang still compromised, but he was still puzzled: "You don't seem to want me to go to your company?"

I returned a kind smile: "Illusion..."

After dismissing Gu Shang, I walked towards the company building, feeling my eyelids twitch more and more.The cold has not recovered for a long time, and I still keep the mask on my face when I go out.

The air was not circulating, and I was a little stuffy, wondering whether to take off the mask.Surrounded by people rushing to work, I was in the middle of the crowd, but I felt very uneasy.

There is a small fountain in front of the company building surrounded by shady trees.There are a few stone benches by the fountain, and occasionally there will be some office workers sitting and having breakfast there, or couples in pairs...

It stands to reason that I should pass by there quickly like I go to work every day.But today is different, as if I felt something in my heart, I passed by there and stopped in front of the company.

I caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of my eye.

I looked towards the fountain, and there was a man sitting on a bench, with his back bent and wearing a khaki coat.

The man looked left and right, as if looking for someone.

Just one glance, and my cold sweat came down.When I regained my senses, I ran into the building desperately.I pulled off the mask, gasping for breath without taking into account the suspicious eyes of others.

From childhood to adulthood, every time I saw that person, my first feeling was horror.I call that man Dad, but he never gave me a trace of paternal love, but full of disgust.

He taught me what it means to be restless.

It was such a person who changed from the giver to the taker when I grew up.He found me, and begged me for it as a matter of course, so that I could regain the familiar sense of anxiety...

……

The heater was turned on just right, but my forehead was still dripping with sweat.It was cold and cold, dripping across my face drop by drop.

The elevator door opened, and I followed the people next to me in disbelief, walking in with my head down.

I didn't notice the person coming out of the elevator, I ran straight into it.

The man was taller than me, and my head hit the man's chin with considerable force, and I immediately hissed in pain.

I rubbed my forehead, the pain made me wake up gradually.

At the same time, I also realized that as much as my forehead hurts, the other party's jaw must hurt as much.

"I'm sorry, I didn't see you just now." The first thing I reacted was to apologize.

The other party was also tolerant, and he didn't say a word, and he didn't even disturb his breath.

"Xu Xiaomo?" I raised my eyes and saw that familiar and similar face.Looking at the man's chin again, I was dumbfounded.

Xu Xiaomo's skin was already white, but his chin was hit hard, and the red marks on his head were clearly visible.

I looked at the "shocking" trace, and panicked even more, "Are you okay?"

He shook his head and said nothing else, but his eyes fell on my face.

I thought he was worried about my forehead, subconsciously said: "I'm fine."

Unexpectedly, the other party stretched out his hand, brushed the hair on my forehead, and rubbed it with his fingers.

When I came back to my senses, Xu Xiaomo had withdrawn his hand, and said in a flat tone, "I'm sweating."

The man's fingertips were as cold as his voice, "Why are you panicking? You're so afraid."

I just wanted to say that it was hot, but then I remembered that it is a cold and windy winter.

"Just now, I saw a bug on the side of the road..." I said casually.

Speaking of this, I subconsciously glanced at the gate.From this angle, you can see the fountain outside, but the bench is empty, as if the man you just saw was just an illusion.

I read it wrong?I wondered and wondered.

I must have read it wrong, after all, if that person knew where I was, he would definitely have come to me.

I calmed down and breathed a sigh of relief.I thought of Xu Xiaomo's chin again, and was about to ask, but the man spoke first.

"Bugs?" Xu Xiaomo's tone was a bit strange, he asked, "Are you afraid of bugs?"

"Uh, I'm afraid." I replied.

In fact, I am not afraid. Since I was a child, I have been afraid of dogs and mice, but I am not afraid of bugs.It may be because I was crammed into the village at a young age, or it may be because these things are not big.

But I lied just now, so I have to admit it.Therefore, it is not unreasonable to say that telling a lie requires a hundred falsehoods.

Xu Xiaomo showed an unspeakable expression, "Really?"

"Really." I looked at him puzzled, could it be that Xu Xiaomo had some prejudice against Ren who is afraid of bugs.

He doesn't like bugs very much, does he?

I looked at that clean and stern face, and immediately abandoned this absurd guess.

Xu Xiaomo didn't make another sound, his lowered eyes didn't know what he was thinking.

Some of the employees who passed by recognized Xu Xiaomo. It should be due to their scruples, or it might be because of the man's cold face that rejects others thousands of miles away. .

I feel strange, afraid of returning home, at least say hello to call.I looked at Xu Xiaomo, and suddenly realized that this person probably didn't want to be greeted...

How should I put it, it feels like a hot face is attached to a cold butt.

"Is your chin okay?" I observed and found that the red mark had faded a lot.

"It's all right," he said.

"That's good..." I nodded while reaching for the elevator button.

Xu Xiaomo raised his hand to stop my movement.He looked at me, opened his mouth slightly, but didn't speak.

"What's wrong?" I looked at him suspiciously.

The two of us looked at each other for a while, and Xu Xiaomo said abruptly, "I just came back from a business trip."

I was a little confused, not knowing what the man wanted to say.

Then I heard the man say again: "I just put back the phone card in China, so I haven't had time to reply to your message."

I realized what the other party said, my heart moved, and I nodded.

Seeing his serious expression, I couldn't help saying: "It's not a big deal..."

He didn't let me finish, interrupted me and said, "I'm waiting for you."

"what?"

what's the situation?wait for me?

What are you waiting for me to do?

"Wait for you to come to work." He still had no expression on his face, but his tone softened a little, "Let's go, I'll take you out."

I:"……"

What the hell?
