just like it

The next day, Luo Yuchuan received a phone call from Qiao Ruige, inviting him to a certain restaurant for lunch.

Luo Yuchuan subconsciously wanted to refuse.He didn't take a long lunch break, and he always went to bed late recently, and he didn't leave after eating with Qiao Ruige, he was afraid that it would affect his work in the afternoon.

"I've asked the driver to pick you up, don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time," Qiao Ruige seemed to see through his thoughts, "We haven't seen each other for a while, so please do me a favor."

Luo Yuchuan sighed softly in his heart: "I'm serious. I'll do it."

The driver picked up Luo Yuchuan and sent him directly to the underground garage of a shopping mall. He graciously escorted him to the elevator and pressed the button on the 6th floor, saying, "Mr. Qiao is waiting for you."

Luo Yuchuan was about to ask for the exact location, but the elevator door was closed and the elevator started to go up.

Luo Yuchuan was helpless, took out his mobile phone and was about to call Qiao Ruige, but saw an unread message from Qiao Ruige on it, and sent him a shop name.

The location of the restaurant is easy to find. When you get out of the elevator, you will see a big signboard with attractively colored dish advertisements printed on it. Looking at the content, it mainly deals in simple Chinese meals, ramen, fried noodles and fried rice.

Luo Yuchuan was a little dazed, meeting in this kind of restaurant was really not like Qiao Ruige's style.

But when he entered the store and saw Qiao Ruige, Luo Yuchuan was really surprised.

"Why...is your arm hurt?"

Qiao Ruige nonchalantly pointed to the opposite chair for him to sit on: "A little injury."

Luo Yuchuan sat down and looked at him suspiciously.

There is a splint on the right forearm, and it is still hanging with a triangular scarf. A little injury?

Qiao Ruige, as if he didn't see his gaze, threw a menu and said, "Let's order. Although there are not many items, there are still some choices."

Looking at the menu, Luo Yuchuan said, "There's no need to order, I just want Yangzhou fried rice."

"Why?" Qiao Ruige raised his eyebrows, "Do you dislike him?"

Luo Yuchuan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if we squat on the construction site and eat boxed lunches. Isn't it because of your inconvenient hands?"

Qiao Ruige clicked his tongue: "Then you just dislike me as an injured number. Give me, I'll order a few, eat slowly, and the driver will send you after eating, I know you are busy now."

Luo Yuchuan was taken aback for a moment, and instantly understood that Qiao Ruige already knew that he was going to be in charge of the design of the citizen library.

"How about it, do you want to help?" Qiao Ruige asked casually while looking at the menu.

"No need." Luo Yuchuan said.

"Well, I believe you."

With the few side dishes that Qiao Ruige ordered, the two of them ate a portion of fried rice slowly.

Qiao Ruige still didn't use his left hand very well, and he ate slowly. The standard in this kind of restaurant was not to his young master's taste. He took a few bites, put down his spoon, and took a drink from the water glass.

He looked at Luo Yuchuan and asked casually, "Where does your little Jiang work now?"

Luo Yuchuan raised his head abruptly, and Qiao Ruige smiled triumphantly, as if his scheme had succeeded.

"You..." Various speculations flashed through Luo Yuchuan's mind for a moment, suspicious that Qiao Ruige went to check Jiang Miao again.

"Don't be so surprised, Wu Xia told me everything." Qiao Ruige didn't let him guess.

"Wu Xia?" Luo Yuchuan was even more puzzled.

"Ah, he's staying with me now." Qiao Ruige said while picking up the rice grains on the plate with a small spoon, with some seemingly careless trepidation.

Luo Yuchuan took a sip from his water glass, then took out a tissue and pressed it on his mouth, taking advantage of the situation to suppress the shock in his heart.

He looked at Qiao Ruige, who also looked at him, smiling with one corner of his mouth crooked.

Luo Yuchuan thought for a while and said, "Have you developed to this point?"

The last meeting he knew between Qiao Ruige and Wu Xia was that that night Qiao Ruige took Wu Xia who was drugged from the bar, and then threw him in the hotel room, where he was drenched in cold water for several hours .

Later, judging from his attitude from his contact with Wu Xia, it was clear that he wanted to stay away from this young master, and now he lives together?

"It's not as fast as you." Qiao Ruige looked at him with a half-smile, stretched out a finger and nodded at him, "I don't have any rumors, not enough friends."

Luo Yuchuan was taken aback by what he said, and then he smiled and said, "It's a little private matter, and I didn't intend to publicize it everywhere."

He knew that Qiao Ruige had many eyes and ears and was well-informed. He really wanted to know something in a matter of minutes. Now he complained that he was not enough friends, and he was afraid that he really didn't get any information in advance and had some opinions on him.

Otherwise, with this young master's behavior style, maybe he and Jiang Miao should have given him and Jiang Miao a bunch of sex toys as "gifts" a few days earlier.

Although he was concerned about Qiao Ruige being too well-informed, he also knew that Qiao Ruige had indeed treated him as a friend all these years. He could not change the way Qiao Ruige treated his friends, he could only resolve and adapt by himself.

So what he said was euphemistic, but his meaning was clear.

Personal matters, of course, follow my wishes, if I want to keep a low profile, I can keep a low profile.

But because of the word "friend", Luo Yuchuan added: "Let's treat you to dinner another day."

Qiao Ruige smiled indifferently, sighed again, and said, "It's still your luck, unlike me, which hurts your muscles and bones."

Luo Yuchuan was taken aback for a moment, and he heard the clue: "What? Your injury..."

Qiao Ruige sighed again: "Isn't it because of him? I don't know what kind of fate it is. Either that kid is too tough, or his life is dying, and he is always being tricked. You count, and I will save you." How many times has he been?"

He frowned and complained, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Luo Yuchuan looked at him, feeling a little confused.

Except for the time when Wu Xia asked Jiang Miao for help, he didn't know what entanglements had occurred between Qiao Ruige and Wu Xia.It was the first time that Qiao Ruige was splashed with wine in "The Night", he only thought that Qiao Ruige was molesting people first, and he didn't know that Qiao Ruige helped Wu Xia get rid of several malicious "" friend".

It's just that Qiao Ruige is not an enthusiastic citizen and Lei Feng, so if he can help out a few times, there is still some affection, right?

Luo Yuchuan couldn't help but think of Qiao Ruige's rich and colorful romantic history in the past, and he didn't know whether his treatment of Wu Xia was the young master's whim, or if he finally met someone different and worthy of his repeated actions.

No matter what, in order to help Jiang Miao at the most desperate time, Luo Yuchuan didn't want Wu Xia to become another prey that Qiao Ruige threw away.

He said sincerely: "Since it's not easy, let's cherish it."

Qiao Ruige raised his eyebrows, smiled with the corners of his mouth crooked, and said nothing.

After the meal was almost done, Qiao Ruige said, "You'd better go from the parking lot, the driver will wait below."

"Okay, what about you?" Luo Yuchuan asked.

"I, let's go around casually. Anyway, I'm lazy because my hand hurts. By the way, I'll wait for Wu Xia to get off work."

Luo Yuchuan was startled.

Qiao Ruige smiled and said, "You don't know? Wu Xia has been transferred to this shopping mall."

As he spoke, he showed a proud and troubled expression, and shook his head: "Don't look at his impatient look at everyone, and his unreasonable appearance, he is very clingy, alas."

Luo Yuchuan really didn't know how to deal with this Young Master Qiao who seemed to be "showing affection", coughed a few times in embarrassment, and said, "Then I'll go first."

"Hey," Qiao Ruige also stood up, "You haven't said yet, where does your little Jiang work now?"

Unexpectedly, he hadn't forgotten this, Luo Yuchuan thought about it and had nothing to hide, so he said, "It's in a photography studio of one of his friends. Didn't Wu Xia tell you?"

Qiao Ruige waved his hand casually: "He didn't say that specifically."

After breaking up with Luo Yuchuan at the elevator entrance, Qiao Ruige didn't take the elevator down together.

He slowly walked down from the 6th floor of the shopping mall, walked to the 2nd floor, and turned to Wu Xia's perfume counter.

Seeing him, Wu Xia paused after saying "Welcome" out of professional requirements, fixed his eyes on his arm, and then turned around calmly, as if he was a stranger.

Qiao Ruige walked over and stared at his face.

The female colleagues next to them all looked at them, Wu Xia turned her back and stared at Qiao Ruige.

How could Qiao Ruige care about that, he raised his hand and pointed under Wu Xia's eyes: "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?"

Wu Xia's eyes were light blue, and his face was also a little dark, looking very tired.

Wu Xia glanced at Qiao Ruige, turned around and walked to the other side of the counter, apparently not intending to talk to him.

However, Qiao Ruige murmured in his heart. Even in the small county town for a few days, he ran between Wu Xia Hospital and Hotel, but he had never seen him look so tired. What's going on?You just moved into an apartment, and you're not used to it, so you can't sleep well?

He followed Wu Xia around a few times, but Wu Xia just ignored him. The neglected young master wanted to shake his face, but Wu Xia lowered his eyes and looked tired, as if he could lean on the counter and fall asleep at any time , His breath that raised his throat dropped again.

I will settle accounts with you later.

Qiao Ruige thought to himself, turned around and left the shop.

After leaving the store, Master Qiao didn't want to leave either. He walked to the guardrail, put his hands on the guardrail and looked down for a while, then took out his cigarette and smoked.

After taking a few puffs, a polite female voice came from behind: "Sir, I'm sorry, please don't smoke in public places."

Qiao Ruige turned around, and a little girl with a red cuff on her arm was smiling at him. Seeing him looking over, she said to him again: "Sir, please cooperate with our work and put out the cigarette, thank you."

Qiao Ruige looked into the store, Wu Xia stood with his head down at the counter, arranging the perfume bottles on the shelf, as if he didn't notice the movement outside.

Qiao Ruige shook the cigarette in his hand, and asked coldly: "Where to put it out?"

It was a bit unreasonable for him to ask.

There are many ways to extinguish a cigarette, such as pressing it on the sole of a shoe, throwing it on the ground and stomping it out... But he looked impatient, as if saying that those methods do not conform to the image and temperament of my young master.

The little girl stretched out her hands in front of him.

Only then did Qiao Ruige see that she was holding a tin tin box in her hand, with a few cigarette butts thrown inside.

The little girl still smiled and said, "Thank you for your cooperation."

With a cold face, Qiao Ruige threw the remaining half of the cigarette into the tin can.

The little girl said again: "Sir, if you really want to smoke, there is a smoking room on each floor of this shopping mall. You can go there to smoke according to the sign on the floor. Oh, you go along this way, and you will see the sign in front of you." Just turn left."

Qiao Ruige looked into the store again, and Wu Xia had already changed his position, with his back facing the outside of the store.

Qiao Ruige felt stuffy in his heart, like a big rock was blocked.He waved his hand impatiently at the little girl, said "um" casually, and walked in the direction she pointed.

The smoking room is in a hidden corner, a small room separated by a glass wall, without even a seat.

When Qiao Ruige went, there were two men inside who seemed to be bored waiting for their girlfriends. After a while, the two men also left, leaving Qiao Ruige alone.

Qiao Ruige leaned against the wall with a cigarette in his mouth, bowed his head and tapped on his mobile phone, looking both bored and busy.

After about half a cigarette, the door of the smoking room opened, and a voice asked, "Aren't you bored?"

Without raising his head, Qiao Ruige said, "It's boring."

"Then you're not leaving yet?"

Qiao Ruige put the phone back in his trouser pocket, raised his head, looked at Wu Xia, curled his lips: "Don't go. I'll wait for you to get supper after get off work."

Wu Xia restrained herself from rolling her eyes: "What time is it? How many hours is it until dinner, why are you just waiting here? Aren't you very busy?"

"I'm injured right now, and I have the right to rest." Qiao Ruige reminded him.

"Then you go home and rest."

Qiao Ruige took the cigarette out of his mouth and threw it into the trash can, and said: "I saw that there seems to be a movie theater on the 7th floor. After watching a few movies, you are almost off work, right? Well, I think this idea is feasible, how about I See if there is a box, I can sleep for a while."

Wu Xia stared at him for a while, then said coldly, "It's up to you."

After speaking, he turned around to leave, put his hands on the doorknob of the smoking room, but stopped again, turned his head to look at Qiao Ruige, as if hesitating.

Qiao Ruige raised his eyebrows at him.

Wu Xia's gaze fell on his hanging arm, and hesitantly asked, "Does your arm... still hurt?"

Qiao Ruige was slightly taken aback, raised his hand to touch the splint, and said, "A little bit."

Wu Xia frowned: "Why..."

Qiao Ruige hooked his fingers at him, tilted one corner of his mouth, and said lazily: "It might make me feel better if you come and kiss me."

Now Wu Xia didn't hesitate anymore, opened the door and left without looking back.

Qiao Ruige leaned his shoulders against the wall, smiled complacently for a while, took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "...you can do something for me."

During dinner, Luo Yuchuan told Jiang Miao about the news that Wu Xia was already with Luo Yuchuan.

"What?!" Jiang Miao was shocked, stunned, and immediately went to get the phone, "I want to ask him, he must have been coerced by Qiao Ruige, maybe he was coerced by Qiao Ruige, look at him before Didn't something happen at home for a while? He..."

Luo Yuchuan quickly stretched out his hand to hold him down: "Don't panic, calm down."

Jiang Miao said urgently: "Can I not panic? Wu Xia obviously doesn't want to get involved with him at all, oh, you are not familiar with Wu Xia, you don't know at all..."

Luo Yuchuan shook his hand vigorously: "Jiang Miao."

Jiang Miao was startled, and gradually recovered.

This situation aroused his memory of deja vu.

On that day, Wu Xia was drugged and asked him for help. He also shouted to Luo Yuchuan in desperation, "I am not as sensible as Mr. Luo, he is my friend", and then watched Luo Yuchuan's expression change, as if he was lost.

"I'm sorry..." Jiang Miao whispered, "I'm impulsive again."

Luo Yuchuan patted his head comfortingly and said, "I understand."

After thinking about it, Jiang Miao said, "But I don't understand how they are together."

Luo Yuchuan was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "Maybe in the eyes of others, they don't understand why we are together."

"Huh?" Jiang Miao looked at him blankly.

"It's hard to explain things like feelings." Luo Yuchuan said.

Jiang Miao froze, feeling a little lost for a while.

This moment of silence made Luo Yuchuan think a lot.

He never felt that he fell in love with Jiang Miao at first sight, although he had some crazy and bold ideas about Jiang Miao when they first met.

For a long time after that, he had a conflicted attitude towards Jiang Miao, being attracted by him and prejudiced against him at the same time. It was not until he gradually got to know and understand that his once suppressed emotions were slowly released. And it paid off.

From this point of view, he suddenly understood Qiao Ruige and Wu Xia. This pair seemed to have different status and status, but the relationship was the most unreasonable and logical. The attraction of one person to another , Insignificant to outsiders, but to themselves, it is an irresistible temptation.

Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, there is still a temptation to break through.

Even he himself clearly realizes that even if Jiang Miao is not such a person, even if he may have many shortcomings, even as Qiao Ruige said, he is still a canary with the idea of ​​climbing high, He will probably sink in after all.

It's just that he met Jiang Miao like this, gentle, upright, kind and optimistic, his lover.

How lucky.

"I'm just a little worried," Jiang Miao said, "Qiao Ruige, are you really treating Wu Xia?"

He frowned slightly, with faint worry on his face: "I don't know much about this young master Qiao, but you also know that as far as my contact with him is concerned, he really can't make me have a good impression. ... and always called him crazy. I didn't prepare for this at all, so I just said that they are together, I... I really can't accept it for a while."

Luo Yuchuan listened carefully and nodded: "I understand."

"Wu Xia didn't tell me anything." Jiang Miao felt aggrieved as she spoke.

Why are they friends who have known each other for many years, and have lived under the same roof for so long, and Wu Xia can figure out all the progress on his side, but he, even living with Qiao Ruige, is still borrowed by the young master. Luo Yuchuan came to tell him.

It's really embarrassing, and a little angry.

Luo Yuchuan put his arms around his waist and comforted him in a gentle voice: "Don't think too much, in my opinion, Qiao Ruige is quite interested in Wu Xia, I haven't told you yet, when we meet today, Qiao Ruige still has one arm. Wearing a splint, saying it was because of Wu Xia's injury."

Jiang Miao opened her eyes wide: "Injured?"

"Well," Luo Yuchuan nodded, "And I see how he talked about Wu Xia today..."

He stopped suddenly, smiled and shook his head.

"What?" Jiang Miao became anxious again, and pushed him, "Hurry up, what are you laughing at?"

"He," Luo Yuchuan smiled, "it seems that he came here to show off to me specially, that's the so-called show of affection."

Jiang Miao was stunned: "He...this is..."

Luo Yuchuan smiled helplessly: "It's probably because I wanted to take revenge that I didn't tell him about our affairs. Unexpectedly, Qiao Ruige, the young master, is sometimes so childish."

Wu Xia had a very headache.

He didn't expect that Qiao Ruige would really wait until he got off work, asked the driver to send them back, followed him into the elevator, and walked to the door of the apartment together.

Wu Xia didn't open the door, she frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Qiao Ruige calmly stretched out his finger and pressed the password to unlock it: "What else can I do? Of course..."

He paused, and looked at Wu Xia with a half-smile.

Wu Xia turned cold.

Qiao Ruige smiled, opened the door and walked in: "What to do, go home and sleep."

Wu Xia endured it, followed in, closed the door, and said, "Your home is not here."

Qiao Ruige went to the sofa and sat down on his own: "My house, I live wherever I want. Besides, it is also to let you get familiar with the work of a life assistant."

"I haven't agreed yet." Wu Xia restrained.

"You will agree."

While talking, Qiao Ruige patted the sofa next to him, and felt a different touch from the leather sofa. When he looked down, it was a thin bed blanket.
