【Blast Out】Love at Second Sight

"Xiao Jiu never told me everything I have encountered so far." Li Ri Ochako poked the soy milk lightly with a fork, "I only know everything now, as a friend, I should be quite remiss. "

"No such thing." He looked up.

"When I got the news of your marriage, everyone was surprised... I was the same. I kept thinking over and over again, is Xiaojiu in love with classmate Hong? But I couldn't figure it out. I searched the corresponding memory. If I knew this was the case, I should have asked you a few more questions, at least..."

"Don't be a friend who doesn't know anything." Li Ri Ochako smiled at him.

"Sorry." He said softly, "The original intention was not to cause trouble for Mr. Hong, so I didn't disclose it to anyone."

"Then it's now..." Li Ri looked at him with a worried expression.

He was silent for a long time.

"To be honest, I only found out yesterday that I don't understand Mr. Hong at all." He sighed, "It seems that everything... ended in a muddle."

"It doesn't matter, since it's all over - now it's a weekend, Xiao Jiu can take a good rest here, this hotel is run by my aunt, you can stay as long as you want." Li Ri Yuchazi stood up and patted him shoulder, comforting him, "It's good to relax, maybe look at the scenery, and your head will become clearer."

"Thank you." He nodded, the green mountain scenery outside the window, but he didn't have the heart to appreciate it.It was as if a boulder was pressing down on my heart, and I couldn't get out, and I couldn't breathe.

It may be the only lucky thing to hit the weekend. Izuku Lvgu felt that he had a buffer period to sort out the relationship between him and Hong Jiaodong.Hong Jiaodong didn't contact him, maybe it was to give each other space, or maybe it felt that there was no need to contact him anymore.Green Valley Izuku asked for leave from the company, and asked for leave not long after joining the company. It was obviously a serious matter before, but it seems to be irrelevant now.

Unexpectedly, his vacation was approved last time, and he didn't ask any more questions. When he hung up the phone, Izuku Midoriya sighed.

The news no longer reports gossip about their divorce. I don’t know if Andewa suppressed it. Most likely it’s because it’s no longer necessary. There’s always new gossip.He called the housekeeper of the apartment to ask if there were any reporters squatting. The housekeeper said that there were scattered people in the next two days, and there were no more people on the third day.

So he had a lot of time to think about things related to Hong Jiaodong. Liri Yuchazi still had to work, so he asked him a question before leaving.

Why did Xiao Jiu have such fluctuating emotions when faced with this matter?Liri asked him.

Because the target is Hong Jun.He smiled wryly.I feel like things are not as I imagined.

as you imagined...

I thought we were equal and we each got what we needed, which allowed me to get along with Mr. Hong without any burden.But now I found out that he was just helping me out of nowhere.

You mean, you don't think you're equal for two years, do you?

Yes...he bowed his head.I have always been the one to benefit.

Xiaojiu.Liri looked at him.I don't think this is a conclusion you can draw, just like between me and you, we never consider whether we are equal.You should try to ask Mr. Hong what he thinks, maybe you are the only one struggling with this problem, in his eyes, maybe he never thinks like this.

Ask Mr. Hong...

He rubbed his phone screen.

The weather is so good, birds chirping comes in from the window.Outside the window is still the beautiful green mountains and fields, but he is still in conflict.

Izuku Lvgu was a little dazed, and couldn't help but think of some old events from a year ago.

At this time a year ago, his mother had the final major operation. The operation was complicated and some problems occurred, which took a long time longer than the scheduled time. Fortunately, the operation was very successful.He didn't tell Hong Jiaodong these things. Rather, he seldom told Hong Jiaodong about his mother's condition. He just sent a text message before the operation, telling Hong Jiaodong that he might not be back today.

Is the hospital busy?Hong Jiaodong replied the text message.

yes.He edited it.I keep udon noodles in the fridge before I go out, so you can eat them when you get home.

It was already three o'clock in the morning after all the follow-up matters were dealt with.Before the operation, Midoriya Izuku also stayed with him day and night for two days. Now that everything is done, I feel like a stone has fallen to the ground.The nurse couldn't stand his dark circles and haggard look, and persuaded him to go home, promising that he would change shifts by himself and nothing would happen.

At least go home and get some sleep.said the nurse.You look so tired.

So when he came out of the inpatient building with his insulated bucket in his hands, he saw Hong Jiaodong leaning against the car in the hospital parking lot.At first he thought he had misread it, but it was indeed a blast.Hong Jiaodong turned his head, took the thermos from his hand, and signaled him to get in the car.

how is auntBoom asked.

fine.He was caught off guard.

Why are you here.He stuttered.I……

You should tell me that my aunt has an operation today, and I should come over.Hong Jiaodong turned on the lights in the car, warm yellow, and sprinkled a piece on the seat.

It's okay, this doesn't bother you.He said.

He didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how Hong Jiaodong knew about today's operation, let alone how long he had been waiting in this dimly lit, damp and cold parking lot.He saw that Hong Jiaodong was still wearing a suit, that is, he didn't go home at all, and rushed here directly.He sat in the passenger seat, and the car drove steadily towards home. The street lights on both sides of the road shone in through the car window, shining on his scorched side face, which outlined a nice jaw line.Lugu Izuku hugged the already cold thermos, he didn't know how to express the emotions in his heart, and after a long while, he said thank you bluntly.

Hong Jiaodong will always send him home, as long as he has time.He drove the car steadily, passing the streets and alleys of the city, whether it was during marriage or after divorce, he always played his own role as a gentleman and decently.

Midoriya Izuku concealed some things about Liri Ochako, because he really didn't know how to talk about it, or even he himself couldn't confirm his current feelings.Lvgu Izuku thought he was never a hard-hearted person, let alone facing the torment and frost.Although they have been using the contract method to get along with each other for two years, but Izuku Lvgu can clearly feel the scorching and freezing behavior from every bit of it.Kind, upright, gentle, without any arrogance and domineering that a unique identity may carry, on the contrary, Hong Jiaodong is a perfect person.He will take into account his feelings in everything, and will give him corresponding respect and care, whether it is the way he looks at him or the attitude he speaks every time.

It is impossible not to be tempted, Hong Jiaodong has almost achieved perfection in getting along with him.Green Valley Izuku could not deny the emotion that he had gradually developed and deviated from during this process. This emotion did exist, whether it was in the two years or after the current divorce, otherwise he would not feel sorry for the separation .Hong Jiaodong is such a good person, who can 100% restrain his heartbeat for him under such circumstances?It's just that in the past, he could find 1 excuses to erase these inappropriate emotions-this is a contract, this is mutual help, this is my gratitude to him, and so on.But now that they were divorced, he no longer had any excuses to comfort himself.

Why did Hong Jiaodong help him unconditionally, he thought.Izuku Midoriya once thought about a certain possibility, but the moment that idea appeared, even he himself felt that it was ridiculous. He was too ordinary, so ordinary that he had no right to think about this possibility a second time.He even wanted to laugh at himself. In the past two years, he has never figured out anything. Even now, two years later, he is still confused and confused about everything.

"Want to eat?" His thoughts were interrupted.

He turned his head and saw Liri's aunt bringing a small plate with green matcha snacks, delicate and lovely.Izuku Midoriya quickly said thank you a few times, and put the fork into his mouth. It was obviously delicious, but Izuku Midoriya couldn't taste it at all.

"You look very distressed, is it because you live in an uncomfortable place?" Auntie looked at him with a worried expression.

"Nothing." He quickly explained, "Your hotel and hospitality are very good."

"Is that because of emotional problems?" Auntie smiled, "If you don't mind, you can talk to me about it."

Izuku Midoriya is in a trance at this moment, is there an emotional problem?If he had to say it, how could he say what he should have said to Liri?The words seem to be full of magic, and also have the effect of final decision. It seems that the ambivalence that was originally hesitant and unsure, will become a firm reality once you really say it.Facing Aunt Liri's smile, he opened his mouth.

His cell phone rang suddenly.

"Sorry..." Izuku Midoriya stood up, "I'm going to answer the phone."

Aunt Liri waved to him, signaling to go easy.

The moment he saw the caller ID, he was a little scared, afraid that the caller would be his most contradictory name, but it wasn't, and a strange emotion filled his heart that he didn't know whether it was happiness or disappointment.The caller was from an unfamiliar number, which looked like a landline. Izuku Lvgu was a little afraid that it was a reporter or a newspaper office. He didn't want to answer it at first, but the phone continued to ring persistently, as if there was something he didn't want to The posture of not giving up.

Izuku hesitated again and again, but still pressed the answer button.

"Hello……"

"Hello." There was a feeling of relief on the other side, "Is this Mr. Lugu?"

"Yes." He replied cautiously.

"Finally got in touch, Mr. Green Valley, hello, I am a staff member of Hirata Real Estate Headquarters, and I want to confirm with you that the apartment you registered with our company two days ago and is going to be put up for sale is scheduled to be inspected tomorrow. , we can sign the sales agency contract after seeing the house, is it convenient for you tomorrow?"

"What...?" Izuku Midoriya was confused, "I don't have any apartments that need to be listed for sale, you must have dialed the wrong number."

"Impossible." The staff on the other end of the phone was also surprised, and he flicked through the documents, "Oh... I saw it, it is like this, sorry, we didn't explain clearly, this apartment is located in the center of the city, It was a Mr. Hong who registered and listed for sale with us. In the information he filled in at that time, he filled in you as his emergency contact. These two days are approaching the house viewing period, but we can’t contact Mr. Hong anyway. I just came to bother you, and I want to ask Mr. Lu Gu to come forward to deal with the problem of the house."

Izuku Lvgu felt a thump in his heart, and then froze there.

"Can't contact Mr. Hong?"

"Yes, for two days, Mr. Hong hasn't answered our company's calls, and even shut down today."

"The apartment... are you sure you want to sell it? Have you negotiated the agency matters in the early stage?"

"Yes, Mr. Hong even paid a deposit, just need to see the house for confirmation. So we couldn't contact him suddenly, and we were also very anxious..."

It was the apartment they had lived in for two years.He was familiar with every word of the address reported by the staff of the real estate company, because this was the place where he had lived with Hong Jiaodong for two years.

"I see." Izuku Midoriya touched the back of his neck, as if this could relieve the surging emotions in his heart:

"I'll come to you tomorrow to deal with it."
