Seeing people in time

Fortunately, the next day was the weekend, and neither of them had to get up early.Xie Jingren woke up faintly after sleeping until she was on the third pole recently.

Pei Lingxin had already woken up, and was watching the replay of last night's game in the living room next door, his voice was turned down very softly, but it was also faintly penetrated into Xie Jingren's cochlea through the crack of the door.

It was a little uncomfortable to have another person in the family, he thought.

After getting up and washing up, Pei Lingxin probably heard rustling noises and went into the bathroom to see him.A good morning kiss didn't seem to be suitable for their relationship, so Pei Lingxin just said: "The food is left outside, do you have any plans for today's rest?"

Xie Jingren bit her toothbrush and looked at each other playfully: "What? I haven't come back for seven years and still need to play with me?"

Pei Lingxin smiled and did not answer, and said after a long while: "Come back to school with me. How is it? Can I still walk?"

The answer received was thrown by Xie Jingren, and the towel attack lost its power halfway.

In the end, I went out and went to high school.

It was during the summer vacation, and no one in the school went to work, and it was not a school celebration day, and the two of them had nothing on them to prove their identity as graduates, so they couldn't enter the school, and the next best thing was a food bar opposite the school. I walked around the street.

When they were in high school, they came here to buy food and drink every day before evening self-study. Seven years later, some stores are still booming with their nameplates that have long been out of sight, and several stores have to be replaced from the inside out. I don't know which is the successor.

Halfway through, I happened to pass by a newly opened milk tea shop. Pei Lingxin turned around and asked, "Are you thirsty? Can I buy you milk tea?"

When Xie Jingren was in high school, she especially loved sweets.At that time, milk tea shops were not as ubiquitous as they are now, and there were only one or two in the food street.There are not so many styles, and the plastic cups are soft and thin, as if they can be easily crushed with a little force.

But Xie Jingren loves to drink, almost every day.Pei Lingxin said to him at that time: "Why do you like to drink such sweet and greasy things like a little girl?"

Xie Jingren replied to him at that time: "You take care of me."

After walking under the sun for a while, Xie Jingren was indeed thirsty, so she nodded.Just about to look at the list in the store, Pei Lingxin said: "Shuangpin milk tea, go to ice whole sugar?"

Xie Jingren was taken aback for a moment, and said "um" as if she was out of control, and only woke up like a dream when Pei Lingxin went to the store to order.

In fact, his tastes have long since changed.

The sweetness he liked in the past has become greasy on the tip of his tongue under the simmering of time. Now he only drinks milk tea occasionally, and the taste has become half ice and less sugar, but Pei Lingxin doesn't know it.

A question seemed to set their time back seven or eight years ago, one by one was still bathed in orange sunsets, or had already been soaked in ink-colored nights, even though Pei Lingxin always disliked him for eating sweets, he always remembered Then buy him a cup of milk tea.

In a daze, Pei Lingxin had already walked back with two glasses of drinks, and gave Xie Jingren one of them.

Xie Jingren took it as if nothing had happened, but kept silent about the fact that her taste had changed. She inserted a straw and took a sip, and it was really cloyingly sweet.

Anyway, I don't know if we will meet again in the past today, and it's just a waste of words to say.

As the sun began to set, the two felt a little hungry, so they found a restaurant for dinner.Afterwards, he went back to the parking lot to pick up the car, and Pei Lingxin sent Xie Jingren back to his apartment downstairs.

The junction of the horizon seems to be in gradient color, and it is not yet time to turn on the street lights.The same parking position, but without the irresistible ambiguity.

The task was completed, ticked, crossed, and received an additional reward, no matter how I looked at it, I thought it was perfect.

Xie Jingren played with the key ring with her fingers and said goodbye: "Then I'll go up first."

"Yes." Pei Lingxin replied softly.

"Drive carefully."

"knew."

Xie Jingren glanced at him, and finally said: "Then, goodbye."

Probably never see you again.

Pei Lingxin raised the corner of his mouth, and replied, "Goodbye."

But see you later.

Monday is a common meeting of the three groups of the planning department.Xie Jingren routinely sat in the corner of the conference room as a little transparent, turned off her mobile phone before the start, and when she looked up, she saw Pei Lingxin sitting in front of the team leader.

Wearing a neat professional suit, Xie Jingren would not dare to recognize him if he hadn't seen him for two days and one night on the weekend.

Pei Lingxin looked around in the conference room, and finally his eyes fell on Xie Jingren who was in the corner with a dull face.

He smiled and silently mouthed to the other party.

Xie Jingren squinted her eyes to identify the four characters.

"meet again."

Xie Jingren: ...

He already knew that they would work in the same company, but he never mentioned it to him? !

A farewell is as true as it is!

Xie Jingren listened to the message that "Pei Lingxin will be the leader of the second planning group next", and wanted to record the content of the meeting in a notebook during the rest of the time. Pei Lingxin's name was written all over in a short time, and the name was crossed several times angrily, almost tearing the page.

He didn't feel excited!

I just feel like I've been tricked!

The regular meeting lasted all morning, and after the minister adjourned, Xie Jingren was finally able to let out a long sigh of relief, tore off the unrecognizable pieces of paper, made a few rounds, and was stopped by someone just as he got up.

"Eat lunch together?"

Pei Lingxin seemed completely unaware of his complicated mood at the moment, and smiled like a wolf with a big tail.

Xie Jingren smiled even more than him, it could be called a flowery smile.He agreed briskly, "Okay."

If Pei Lingxin hadn't caught a glimpse of the original miserable state of the balls of paper before they took shape, he would have believed in the kindness of the other party.

I ate lunch in the company cafeteria, because the meeting was held later than the usual lunch break, and the cafeteria was full of people from the planning department, no matter whether it was the second group or not, they all came to greet Pei Lingxin when they saw him. He also responded with a business smile.

The sharp-eyed person looked at Xie Jingren, who was obviously in the same group, who was following the new team leader next door, and asked him, "Do you know each other?"

Xie Jingren replied with a calm smile: "It's just a high school classmate."

He had to repeat the answer that could be answered in four words, which caused Pei Lingxin to look at him from the sidelines.

When the colleague sat down after dealing with it, Xie Jingren kicked him under the table to settle the score with him, but he still remembered to kick with the back of his foot so as not to dirty the suit pants of the other party: "You knew before that you are in the same company as me?"

"I found out by accident." Pei Lingxin looked at him and said.

"Then you don't even tell me!"

Pei Lingxin asked without answering, "Is that why you don't want to see me?"

"That's not true..." Xie Jingren lost her momentum for a moment, and lowered her head to grab the food, feeling a little guilty.

I haven't had much contact in seven years, and even if we have a good relationship, it's all in the past. Now we get along face to face and no one speaks for a minute, and it's inevitable that we will feel awkward.The right to invite that day was broken, partly because of the ambiguity left over from the afternoon punishment, and partly because of the awakened youthful emotions.

It's just that no matter what the reason is, he thought that he would just leave as soon as yesterday was over, and he didn't think that he would meet with the other party often.

Daydreams mixed into reality, making reality seem like a dream, Xie Jingren really didn't know what mood he was in for a moment.

It seems a bit exaggerated to say that he still likes the other party, but if he wants to say that Pei Lingxin is no different from others in his heart, his intuition is more than that.It's not because of the more intimate physical intercourse, it's just that the white moonlight has been buried in the bottom of my heart for so long, how can it be completely naked as soon as it is taken out.

As a result, the relationship became more and more complicated, similar to the mixed pasta in front of you, and it was difficult to separate them one by one.

Seeing him in a daze, Pei Lingxin stretched out his hand to grab the biggest piece of beef in his bowl, but Xie Jingren, who came back to his senses, quickly slapped it away with a chopstick: "Don't keep stealing my meat!"

How old are you, why are you still so childish!

It was like this in high school, Xie Jingren always liked to think about things in his own mind, but as long as he was in a daze while eating, the meat on the plate would either enter someone else's belly, or it would be on the way into someone's belly.

Xie Jingren felt that he was still stuck at a height of 179 because Pei Lingxin robbed him before!

Pei Lingxin just shrugged his shoulders if he didn't succeed in stealing, as if nothing had happened, and then called him suddenly in the next second: "Hey."

"What are you doing!"

"The minister just told me that he will hold a welcome meeting for me on Friday."

"Oh! So what?"

"The planning department has to go."

Xie Jingren snorted and took two mouthfuls of noodles, puffed her cheeks and mumbled: "There are a lot of things these two days, and I can't finish it on Friday."

"I asked your team leader, your project is coming to an end, so you shouldn't stay too late on Friday."

After all, Pei Lingxin added: "It doesn't make sense not to even support me at the welcome party, high school classmate."

It's okay for Pei Lingxin to call him by his name directly, but he just wants to call him "high school classmate".It's okay to have a flat tone, but I deliberately lowered my voice and made a circle around the end.The ordinary four words were forcibly put on an ambiguous shell by this man, as if he was revenge for his guilty conscience just now.

Memories of Saturday flooded into my heart immediately, Xie Jingren blushed uncontrollably.Fortunately, the pasta was eaten quickly, and he dealt with the remaining food in threes and fives. He stood up suddenly, and the chair made a squeaky sound.

"Let's see when the time comes, you eat slowly!" He didn't even dare to look at the other party again, and after leaving a few words, he picked up the tray and strode away.

Pei Lingxin sat where he was, shaking his head helplessly and lovingly, thinking that this awkward little guy has been like a day for ten years.

Forget it, anyway, the future is long.

On Friday, the same hotel as the reunion dinner.Xie Jingren sat down at a table in one group, thinking to himself that he never rushed because of this welcome meeting and finally finished his work before leaving get off work.

absolute!No!

Although they are both in the planning department, the first group and the second group usually work separately, and generally they don't see each other.

Xie Jingren spent five days slowly digesting the news that Pei Lingxin had changed from a classmate to a colleague after seven years, and it was not as awkward as it was on Monday. Anyway, he has kissed and done everything, so maybe he can be awkward in a few days. Do it all over again.

Besides, even if he was really given another chance, he might still invite Pei Lingxin.

So when he came to the welcome party at night, he raised his head higher and his chest straighter, as if he wasn't the one who ran away before.

When Pei Lingxin saw him, he gave him a playful smile, and sent him another text message.

"Here it is."

No matter how you look at it, you don't feel ashamed.

Xie Jingren replied: "What's the matter? Team leader Pei still doesn't allow people to eat and drink?"

He stared at the phone for a long time without getting a reply, but when he looked up, he found Pei Lingxin walking to their table holding a wine glass.

After exchanging pleasantries one by one, Pei Lingxin turned his eyes around and concluded: "I will ask everyone in the first group to take care of you in the future, so you don't have to be polite today."

In the end, it fell back on Xie Jingren, and lightly clinked glasses with him: "Eat and drink well."

Xie Jingren felt that this girl was targeting him.

After three rounds of wine, the order is over.

Everyone dispersed one after another, and Xie Jingren went downstairs to wait for the bus as usual.The taxi hadn't arrived yet, but a car he was familiar with within a few days arrived.Similar time and similar place, the difference is that today the rear windows were lowered, Pei Lingxin asked him: "Are you still driving today?"

Xie Jingren glanced at the driver's seat, but the angle was not good enough to see the person clearly.He asked, "A substitute driver?" After all, Pei Lingxin also drank a lot just now.

"No." Pei Lingxin replied, "The driver at home."

Xie Jingren has always known that Pei Lingxin's family is quite rich, but he never knew that the other party was so rich that he even had his own driver.He gave a meaningful "Oh~", stepped to the opposite side of the car, opened the door and sat in, said bluntly: "Then Boss Pei will let me rub another car."

Pei Lingxin laughed: "Just now you called me Team Leader Pei, now I'm Boss Pei. I'm promoted very quickly as an official."

"Actually, Boss Pei." Xie Jingren said again, "You may not know that I am your half-brother who has been separated for many years."

Pei Lingxin thinks it's okay, whoever wants to be your brother only wants to kiss you.

Same hotel, same journey home.

The car even stopped under the same streetlight in the end, as if the memory reappeared, and it was like going back in time, Xie Jingren suddenly couldn't tell what night it was.

It's just that it wasn't Pei Lingxin who was driving this time. As soon as the car stopped, the driver unlocked it. Xie Jingren reacted to the sound of the car lock in the silence.After saying "thank you" and "good night", he went to open the door, but Pei Lingxin grabbed his wrist.

Turning his head, he saw Pei Lingxin asking him with a smile: "Aren't you going to invite me to sit up for a while this time?"

Xie Jingren put down the other free hand when he heard the words, leaned back on the back of the chair, and asked without changing his face: "Boss Pei wants to go up?"

Pei Lingxin smiled and didn't correct his address: "I kind of think about it."

Xie Jingren stared at him for a while, then suddenly said: "That's fine. This time you said you wanted to go up."

The smile on Pei Lingxin's face deepened again, and he wondered why this person would be so stubborn even whoever took the initiative first.

After Xie Jingren finished speaking, she went to open the door again, but her hands were tightly bound.Pei Lingxin said, "Don't worry, let's do some shopping first."

As for what to buy, everyone is tacit.

Without the impatience of last time, the water with ice cubes finally entered the mouth before the ice cubes completely melted.The two even went to take a bath first, and took off the clothes that were slightly stained with alcohol.

Pei Lingxin raised Xie Jingren's hands above his head and pressed them into the soft pillow, his legs pinched him, but his eyes were extremely serious and he asked: "Xie Jingren, the first time I was a little impulsive, even though you and I drank wine today, But I know both sides are sober. How on earth do you define our relationship?"

Xie Jingren's skin was flushed because he had just taken a bath, and the drooping end of his eyes made him look like he just cried even if he didn't do anything, which made the tear mole even more attractive.The two people's bodies touched each other with heat, and there was not a piece of skin on their bodies that was not moving.But at this moment, he wanted to ask the other party clearly what he was thinking.

Xie Jingren stared straight back at him, and after a long while, she replied in a low voice: "Probably, they are friends with benefits."

Above siblings, not full of violins, but don't mind only the combination of body and mind, then they can be counted as friends with benefits.

Pei Lingxin seemed to bend the corner of his mouth, and kissed the side of the other's neck in the next second.

Friends with benefits, it's okay.

After all, it will be time to see people's hearts.
