just like it

One side of the corridor is full of glass walls. Fang Xingyuan stood in front of the glass wall, holding on to the waist-high wrought iron railing and looking downstairs, wondering what he was thinking.

The pale golden sunlight in early autumn shone on him, but it still couldn't drive away the inexplicable feeling of desolation and coldness in him.

The "Case" company has already withdrawn, and today's bidding meeting has nothing to do with them. The entire floor of the hotel has been taken over by the judging committee. It seems a bit abrupt to appear here as an employee of "Case".

However, Luo Yuchuan soon realized that Fang Xingyuan's appearance here was probably not an accident, because Fang Xingyuan turned his head and saw him, so he turned around and stood still, obviously waiting for him.

The corridor is very long, and the conference room is at the corner at the far end. All the participants are busy preparing for the drawing description later in the conference room. At this moment, they are the only ones in this long and narrow space.

Probably anticipating Luo Yuchuan's silence, Fang Xingyuan took the initiative to break the deadlock. He said, "Can you say a few words?"

I don't know if he was afraid that Luo Yuchuan would refuse, but before he could react, Fang Xingyuan said, "Just a few words, it won't delay you for long."

Luo Yuchuan nodded.

It was more than two hours before he came to the stage to explain the drawings, and he was not stingy with the time for a few words.

Seeing him nodding, Fang Xingyuan seemed relieved, took out the cigarette case, and handed it to Luo Yuchuan.

Luo Yuchuan shook his head indifferently.

Fang Xingyuan was stunned for a moment, took back the cigarette case, took out one in his mouth, and then took out the lighter. For some reason, the finger that pressed the lighter trembled, and he failed to hit it after two clicks. I shook the lighter vigorously a few times, then struck again, and finally made a fire.

Fang Xingyuan lit a cigarette and took a deep puff. White smoke overflowed from his mouth and nose, covering half of his face in a blur, making it hard to see clearly.

"I didn't do it," he said.

His voice was not loud, and his tone seemed a little depressed, with some not-so-obvious grievances.

Luo Yuchuan didn't say anything, neither that he heard it nor questioned it, he just looked at Fang Xingyuan calmly.

Fang Xingyuan looked up at him, as if his eyes were stung by the calmness, he turned around suddenly to look outside the glass wall, and breathed out a puff of smoke on the not-so-clear glass.

Fang Xingyuan's heart was full of remorse. If he had known that things would develop like this, he would have kept his mouth shut no matter what when he met Jiang Miao in the mall that day.

He was not alone that day, he accompanied his colleagues to pick up things, and while waiting for his colleagues, he accidentally saw Jiang Miao who was on the order.

Later, when he thought back, he still couldn't tell whether he was jealous because of Jiang Miao's familiarity with Luo Yuchuan as he carried the shopping bag, or whether he was stabbed by Jiang Miao's words "you don't know a lot about him".

The words he blurted out were heard by Jiang Miao, Luo Yuchuan, and the colleagues who came back after picking up the things.

The colleague surnamed Zhang happened to be in their company's library project team this time, so he dragged Fang Xingyuan out for a drink that day, and inquired about a lot of gossip.

It's a pity that Fang Xingyuan didn't know what the other party was thinking at the time. He was sulking in his heart. Although he didn't reveal his relationship with Luo Yuchuan, he said a lot of bad things about Luo Yuchuan through the wine.

As soon as the report came out, he was dumbfounded.

Intuitively, he realized that he was tricked by the person surnamed Zhang. When he found someone to question him, the person surnamed Zhang didn't hide it.

"Case" is in charge of the library project, a deputy director who was recently airborne by the company. He is young and has low qualifications.The surname Zhang thought he had got the handle of the competitor, and came up with the bad idea of ​​reporting anonymously. The deputy director who was worried about the design project ranking behind unexpectedly agreed not to say anything, and even hired a navy army out of his own pocket to create public opinion. .

Speaking of which, the insane deputy director and the person surnamed Zhang didn't specifically target Luo Yuchuan, nor the design institute, but simply wanted to "pull the next one down" from their competitors.

Fang Xingyuan didn't think he was a kind and upright person, but he was also disgusted by this bad, stupid and despicable method.

He went to the deputy director, trying to persuade him to stop quickly and not push things in a worse direction. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, the deputy director praised him for "providing important information for the company's overall situation."

Only then did he realize that he had been betrayed by that Zhang and had been used as a gunman.

But knowing the inside story, Fang Xingyuan fell into a predicament that made him struggle even more than before.

When he reported the truth in college, he was only worried that revealing the truth would get him into trouble, and he would not be able to maintain his arrogant image. But this time, in addition to the fear of revealing the truth, he also had the pressure of "company interests" on him. Enormous pressure.

The deputy director found a reason to give him a bonus. On the surface, it was to reward his performance at work, but he knew that it was a "hush money" for him. He had already been tied to the ship, except for jumping ship Suicide, he can't think of other options.

He pays attention to the comments on this matter on the Internet every day, and his emotions are always in an extremely unstable state. At one moment, he was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to brandish the keyboard to speak justice for Luo Yuchuan and refute those malicious slanders. Without the company, let alone against the turbulent Internet public opinion.

He even blamed Luo Yuchuan even more. If it weren't for Luo Yuchuan's indifference back then, such a thing would not have happened, and it would not have planted the root of disaster for today's situation.

He didn't want to work, so he asked for leave to pretend to be an ostrich at home.

It wasn't until he saw the interview video of the old director that he woke up as if enlightened.

The last words of the old director in the video, every sentence, was like a loud slap in the face directly on his face.

Burning pain.

He felt ashamed and suddenly had courage, but it was too late.

The situation of the reporting incident has been completely reversed. Whether he, the "participant" in the past, will come out to prove Luo Yuchuan's innocence is not so important anymore.

How should I put it, if he had immediately stood up to support Luo Yuchuan at the beginning of the incident, that would have been a timely help, but now that the truth is known, it would be nothing more than icing on the cake for him to stand up again.

It is difficult to send charcoal in the snow, but it is easy to make icing on the cake, and the onlookers who have experienced this incident may only interpret this "icing on the cake" as "frivolous enthusiasm".

Fang Xingyuan finally remained silent.

He faintly realized that speaking of this past may be a redemption for himself, allowing him to get rid of the deep-seated guilt that he has always been unwilling to admit, and also get rid of the fear of revealing the secret all these years.

But he chose to remain silent.

He gave up the chance to free himself from the shadows of the past, and looked at the "ungrateful" comments on the Internet over and over again like masochistic, it seems that there can still be some things between him and Luo Yuchuan , has no hope, but talks to prove the existence of the connection.

Fang Xingyuan couldn't tell Luo Yuchuan these secret thoughts in his heart. He just talked about what "Case" was doing behind the scenes. In the end, even he himself gave up. The cigarette butt that has been extinguished seems to hold a little bit of humble self-esteem.

Luo Yuchuan didn't speak all the time, and listened to him quietly, just like many years ago, when he told him something that he thought was fun, he also listened quietly.

Fang Xingyuan only felt that his chest was uncomfortable, he threw away the cigarette butt angrily, and said discouragedly: "Forget it, believe it or not."

Luo Yuchuan said, "I will believe you if you tell me."

This was the only sentence that Luo Yuchuan had said so far, but Fang Xingyuan's nose hurt when he heard it, and he turned his head away from Luo Yuchuan.

He also couldn't explain why he came to Luo Yuchuan, why he had to explain to him, he was not innocent, even if he didn't do it, it was because of him, and he didn't defend Luo Yuchuan during the process, his Silence is his crime.

He was ready for Luo Yuchuan to mock and ridicule him, and he didn't expect Luo Yuchuan to believe it, but when Luo Yuchuan said, "I'll believe it if you say it", it was like a heavy fist hit the bridge of his nose, which was sore and painful, making him feel sore. He was on the verge of tears.

Fang Xingyuan gritted his teeth hard to hold back the tears in his eyes, he turned around, shrugged, and said calmly, "I resigned."

He didn't look at Luo Yuchuan, but his eyes were fixed on Luo Yuchuan's shadow on the glass wall, as if he didn't want to miss any subtle expression on his face.

But Luo Yuchuan just said "Oh" calmly, as if the news didn't make him feel the slightest wave of emotion.

Fang Xingyuan felt his face burning hot. He had made the decision to resign a long time ago. Maybe Yu Luo Yuchuan had no influence on the matter itself, but he still expected to see some other emotions on Luo Yuchuan's face when he told the news. He couldn't tell what he was looking forward to, but it was definitely not what it is now, just a calm "oh".

He felt extremely embarrassed.

Luo Yuchuan looked down at his phone and said, "I should go in."

Luo Yuchuan raised his foot and walked towards the conference room. Fang Xingyuan stared at Luo Yuchuan's figure on the glass wall, watching him walk past him calmly, without even giving himself a single extra look.

"Luo Yuchuan!" Fang Xingyuan suddenly raised his voice and shouted.

Luo Yuchuan stopped and looked back suspiciously.

Fang Xingyuan was still staring at the glass wall. From the side, he could only see his clenched cheeks. It seemed that his strength was exhausted when he shouted. With a hoarse voice, he squeezed the words out from between his teeth: "I don't What owes you is yourself...yourself..."

Luo Yuchuan lowered his eyes to look at the ground, then raised his eyes to look at Fang Xingyuan, sighed softly, and said, "I never thought about it that way."

After speaking, he didn't stay any longer, and turned to leave.

Fang Xingyuan heard his footsteps walking away step by step, and opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

He raised his slightly trembling hand and firmly grasped the wrought iron railing. After a while, he lowered his head and his straight shoulders slumped like a proud peacock.

The prediction of the boss did not come true, and the final winning bid was an established company that had always been ranked first in the voting.

Colleagues in the project team responded calmly, and everyone packed up their things and drove back to the design institute.

The leader, who was too lazy to drive by himself, got into Luo Yuchuan's car. Not long after the car drove out, the leader stretched a lot, yawned and said, "This result is also expected, image project, a few judges told us The evaluation of the design proposal is still very high.”

Luo Yuchuan froze for a moment, and instantly understood what the boss meant.

In the final analysis, although the reporting incident allowed him to completely clarify himself, it still affected the judges' choice and image project. When it was mentioned, the above always wanted to say "Look, this is designed by the designer who was reported."

He let out a "huh" as an answer, feeling a little sour in his heart.

"But it doesn't matter," the boss folded his arms, his eyes sparkled and full of fighting spirit, "The southern new area will soon build a convention and exhibition center, and the bidding invitation is already on my desk. I'll leave it to you. The courtyard has already agreed .”

After a while, Luo Yuchuan gradually came to his senses.

The boss probably expected this result a long time ago, but he still deliberately spared time to accompany them to fight this battle seriously. There is no need to say more about the intention.

Luo Yuchuan took a breath and nodded, "I will work hard."

Although the failure of the bidding did not cause any discussion in the design institute, after all, such things are too common for them, She Min even joked with Luo Yuchuan that the design of the exhibition center is more important than the library, maybe it is a lost sesame watermelon.But on the way home at night, Luo Yuchuan became more and more uneasy.

He hadn't figured out how to tell Jiang Miao that Jiang Miao might be more concerned about the result than he was, and he was thinking about how to tell the result tactfully and how to comfort Jiang Miao's disappointment along the way.

Opening the door, the living room was lit but no one was there, but there was movement in the kitchen.

Luo Yuchuan put down his bag and went to the kitchen. The kitchen door was unlocked. He saw Jiang Miao standing in front of the sink with his back turned to him, wearing an apron, and said angrily to the sink, "Don't move, be honest!"

He tilted his head and looked into the sink, only then did he see that Jiang Miao was holding a brush in his hand, and the brush was pointing at a few hairy crabs in the sink holding up their pincers and running amok.

Luo Yuchuan couldn't hold back his laughter, and Jiang Miao was startled: "Why didn't you make any noise when you came in?"

"It's because you're too focused," Luo Yuchuan stepped forward and put Jiang Miao's shoulders on his shoulders, looking at the arrogant crabs in the sink, "Want to eat crabs?"

Jiang Miao pouted: "No, isn't it going to be a holiday? Someone gave it to He Yu's father, but his mother said too much, so He Yu sent four."

He sighed in frustration again: "I wanted to pack it up and give you a surprise, but who knew it would be so difficult."

Luo Yuchuan grabbed his hand and looked at it: "You're not injured, are you?"

Jiang Miao withdrew her hand in embarrassment: "No, not yet."

Luo Yuchuan let out a "hmm", turned around and walked towards the living room, and said, "Leave it alone, I'll come."

He went to the bidding meeting today, and he was dressed formally. Now he took off his suit and threw it on the sofa. arm.

He turned back to the kitchen, took the brush in Jiang Miao's hand, and said, "Help me tie my apron."

Jiang Miao took off the apron, passed it around his lower abdomen, tied a knot loosely at the back of his waist, hugged his waist, and rested his chin on his shoulder to watch him pick up the crabs.

Luo Yuchuan turned on the faucet and washed the hairy crabs under the running water. After brushing a few times, he said casually: "No."

Jiang Miao was stunned for a moment, and said "oh" softly.

Luo Yuchuan only felt the indescribable grievance and loss in this "oh", and although he didn't want to reveal too much, the frustration in his heart was still hard to ignore.

He stopped, smiled and said, "Are you going to steam the hairy crabs for me to celebrate?"

Jiang Miao didn't speak, but lowered her head, and rubbed her forehead against Luo Yuchuan's back.

Luo Yuchuan didn't say anything when he was depressed and had a temper tantrum, and patted the back of his hand that was wrapped around his body lightly.

I don't know what kind of switch Jiang Miao turned on at this time. The hands that were quietly wrapped around Luo Yuchuan's body began to slowly and dishonestly touch his chest and abdomen.

At first, Luo Yuchuan let him go calmly, brushing the hairy crabs with steady hands, until Jiang Miao's hand slipped in between the buttons of his shirt and scratched the smooth and tight skin of his lower abdomen.

Luo Yuchuan's hands trembled, and the hairy crab took the opportunity to break free with its pincers. He was stunned, and even threw away the brush. He took a breath, put his hands on the edge of the sink, and asked helplessly, "You...are you Don't want to eat?"

Jiang Miao's hands paused, and then retreated from the shirt, but hugged him even harder, slowly pulled out the shirt that was tucked into his trousers, and said in a low voice, "The way you took off your tie just now so sexy..."

Luo Yuchuan grabbed Jiang Miao's hand violently, took a deep breath, and turned to face Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao raised her head slightly, her cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes looked extraordinarily bright and moist under the warm white light of the kitchen.

Luo Yuchuan raised his right hand, bent his index finger, and gently scratched Jiang Miao's ear with his knuckles, and asked in a low voice, "Are you hungry?"

Jiang Miao also replied in a low voice: "It's okay."

In the next second, the two kissed together.

What is lost, disappointed, and frustrated, in the days when the water flows long, are just small waves that disappear in a blink of an eye, and nothing is as good as a warm embrace, an affectionate lingering.

On Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Xia came out of "Jintai" after work, and saw Qiao Ruige's car parked by the side of the road from a distance.

Jiang Miao called him before, saying that during the National Day, he was too worried about the final bidding and didn't have the time to go out. Now that things are put down, he wants to invite him and Qiao Ruige to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival together.Unfortunately, Wu Xia had to go to work during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Qiao Ruige had to go back to the old house for a family dinner.

Wu Xia originally thought that the family dinner at Qiao's family had to be late, but he didn't expect that Qiao Ruige would come to pick him up from get off work. He was taken aback for a moment, and hurried over to open the rear door and got into the car.

As soon as he got in the car, the driver, Uncle Li, started the car. Wu Xia smelled a faint smell of alcohol in the car. He glanced at Qiao Ruige who was at the side, and estimated how much this young master had drunk today, whether he was drunk or not.

Qiao Ruige clicked his tongue and said dissatisfiedly: "Is your eyesight not so good? See what I am doing?"

Wu Xia felt a pain in his chest from this inexplicable resentment, and he gave Qiao Ruige a supercilious look, and said flatly, "Yes, I'm blind to see you."

Qiao Ruige raised his chin impatiently: "Didn't see it?"

Wu Xia followed his movements and turned her head, only to see a suit hanging behind the front seat.

"What is this?" Wu Xia asked.

"It's for you, wear it tomorrow." Qiao Ruige leaned his head back on the seat, as if Wu Xia's surprise at that moment satisfied him a little.

There was no light in the compartment, only the street lights outside were shining a little bit, but even if you couldn't see the material of the suit clearly, you could tell that it was not inferior to the custom-made workmanship.

Wu Xia turned to look at Qiao Ruige suspiciously: "Why are you wearing this?"

Qiao Ruige showed obvious impatience between his brows: "If you tell you to wear it, you will wear it. How come there are so many whys? Do you have a hundred thousand whys?"

Wu Xia pursed her lips, and decided not to argue with this young master who seemed to be drunk after drinking too much.

Wu Xia was holding a document bag in his hand, which contained a notebook and several pens. After getting in the car, he put it on his lap. Qiao Ruige looked at it with his head turned and asked, "I have read the book for so long. , how much have you learned?"

That notebook is usually used by Wu Xia to take notes, and recently he often carries it with him, and he looks through it whenever he thinks of it.

Wu Xia said: "I can only take time to read a little when I go to work. Sometimes I remember the latter and forget the former."

According to his experience, such an answer will probably attract the ridicule of "So why are you still working" or "I told you to quit that job" from Master Qiao again, but today's Master Qiao is a little different from usual, he I just fell silent for a while, then smiled indifferently, and said, "If you can't remember it, you can't remember it, and it didn't really let you learn anything."

The corners of Wu Xia's mouth froze, and after a while, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Yeah, I should find something easier to learn, learn to drive or something."

After he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong. Although he was a little angry at what he said, he innocently dragged Uncle Li to be shot. Just as he was about to explain to Uncle Li and apologize, Qiao Ruige laughed: "This is much easier. Uncle Li will teach you."

When he interrupted like this, it seemed deliberate for Wu Xia to apologize to Uncle Li, and Uncle Li also smiled and said, "It's easy."

Wu Xia then said, "Then I will learn from you, Uncle Li. I'm stupid, so don't scold me."

"How could it be, Mr. Wu." Uncle Li said.

Qiao Ruige clicked his tongue several times and shook his head: "Uncle Li, he is trying to steal your job, so ignore him."

Wu Xia turned her head and stared at him, letting the scoundrel finish her good words, I really don't know if it was intentional to annoy him.

Qiao Ruige didn't seem to notice his emotions, he groped around the seat for a while, and handed him a box: "My mother asked me to give it to you, and said thank you for going shopping with her that day."

Wu Xia took it in his hand and opened it. Inside was a sports watch. He recognized the brand. It was a big brand and very expensive. However, the watch was rough and rigid in appearance, which didn't match his style.

"Do you like it? Keep it if you like it." Qiao Ruige said.

Wu Xia closed the box and said softly, "Thank you."
