just like it

Qiao Ruige looked at the man almost greedily.

Wu Xia lowered her head to operate the mobile phone with one hand, and clamped a package around her waist with the other. A mobile phone-like thing hanging on her chest made noise from time to time.

He looked a little changed, cut his hair short, became thinner, but he didn't seem to have changed, even though he was only wearing a courier company's uniform T-shirt and trousers, his shoulders were still straight, shoulders were shoulders, waist was waist, and he had a beautiful figure stylish.

After a while, a girl came out from the community. Wu Xia handed the package to her. The girl gave him an apple. Wu Xia smiled and shook his head and didn't take it. The two stood there and said a few words. Slight smile.

Qiao Ruige unconsciously grasped the steering wheel.

Soon, Wu Xia got into the van and drove away, and Qiao Ruige immediately followed.

He drove behind Wu Xia's car all the way, watching him go to a school, then to a government compound, a convenience store, another community... He followed him not far or near, watching Wu Xia deliver and pick up Seeing him smiling at strangers and following him for a long time gave him an illusion that following him all the way would last forever.

Wu Xia parked the van at the entrance of a new community. He had a lot of deliveries this morning, and it finally came to an end.He had to rush back to the courier station to return the package he picked up in the morning, and he was still busy in the afternoon after dinner.

He carried a few packages into a hall next to the guard room of the new community, where there were rows of express cabinets.

He put the parcels into the express cabinet one by one, and when he closed the last cabinet door, a shadow suddenly loomed over him, his heart skipped a beat, he turned his head, and saw the face that absolutely shouldn't be here.

Dazed for a second, Wu Xia turned and ran.

In his haste, he ran in the wrong direction, instead of running out of the hall, he ran into the hall instead. He knew that there was a safety door over there, and there was a fire escape in it. Turning around, he could lead to the lobby on the first floor of another high-rise elevator room. He can run into the community from there, and then shake off...

With a "bang", Wu Xia felt a strong force hit his back, and he threw himself against the safety door and crashed into the passage.

Before he could turn around, he was pressed against the wall by the man.

Wu Xia reacted quickly, and slammed his elbow on the man's rib with his backhand. He exerted all his strength, and the man let go of him with a muffled groan. He immediately broke free, turned around, pushed open the safety door and ran out again.

There were several "bang" and "bang" sounds behind him, and then there was the sound of chasing footsteps. Wu Xia turned around in a hurry, but stopped suddenly.

He saw George running towards him with a limp on one leg.

At the moment when he froze in astonishment, Qiao Ruige caught up with him and grabbed him.

Before Wu Xia could think about it, she asked, "What happened to your leg?"

There was a tremor in his voice that he didn't realize.

Qiao Ruige didn't answer, but hugged him firmly in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "Don't run away, if you run again, I won't be able to catch up with you."

Wu Xia's body was held stiffly by Qiao Ruige. Qiao Ruige's voice was full of sadness and grievance, and he felt a little weak when he heard it. A warmth with shortness of breath.

There was a flash of lightning in his mind, and Wu Xia pushed Qiao Ruige away violently.

He tried his best to keep his face calm: "Why are you chasing me? Where's your fiancee?"

Qiao Ruige looked at him, took a breath, and said, "Don't you watch the news? I have broken off my engagement with her."

Wu Xia was stunned.He really hasn't watched the news for a long time, to be exact, he is deliberately avoiding it, he doesn't want to know all the news related to Qiao Ruige, since he has decided to leave, don't be dragging his feet.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, unable to tell whether it was mocking or self-deprecating, and said, "So? Without her, there would be others."

Qiao Ruige hugged him again, and said somewhat eagerly: "No more, no more."

There was the sound of an electric car outside the hall, it seemed that someone was coming this way, Wu Xia pushed Qiao Ruige but did not push, a sudden irritability surged up in his heart, and he couldn't explain why.He just wanted to get out of here quickly, and he didn't want to get entangled with Qiao Ruige here, so he gritted his teeth and pushed Qiao Ruige away, turned around and walked out.

One of his hands was tightly held by Qiao Ruige, almost dragging Qiao Ruige along.

Enduring the irritability in his heart and the surprised gaze of the security guard at the gate, Wu Xia walked out of the gate of the community. He looked down at Qiao Ruige's hand clutching his wrist, and then looked up at Qiao Ruige. There are some palpitating emotions moving.

Wu Xia pursed her lips and asked coldly, "What are you doing like this?"

Qiao Ruige said: "You come with me."

Wu Xia frowned, and the mobile phone-like thing on his chest made another series of beeps. He picked it up and looked at it, and the phone rang again.He picked up the phone, as if the other side was urging him to pick up the package quickly, he answered a few times, and hung up the phone.

"I'm still at work." Wu Xia looked at Qiao Ruige and turned the wrist he was holding.

Qiao Ruige immediately said kindly: "Then I will go with you."

Wu Xia was taken aback for a moment: "It's up to you."

After speaking, he stopped earning, turned around and walked to the van.

Qiao Ruige followed him to the side of the van before letting go, walked to the side of the co-pilot and waited. When Wu Xia got into the car, he quickly opened the door of the co-pilot and sat in.

I couldn't help but feel secretly happy, Wu Xia was still willing to let him get in the car, and didn't leave him behind.

After getting in the car, Wu Xia answered another phone call, and when he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and threw the phone on the dashboard.

Qiao Ruige immediately reached out and took the phone.

"What are you doing?" Wu Xia frowned.

Qiao Ruige didn't speak, but directly entered his number and dialed out. When his mobile phone rang, he hung up the phone and saved his number on Wu Xia's mobile phone.

Wu Xia rested his hands on the steering wheel and looked at him indifferently.

Qiao Ruige shook the phone towards him, and smiled a little smugly.

"Is your leg okay?" Wu Xia asked.

Qiao Ruige was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Wu Xia didn't care about the phone and instead cared about his legs.

"fine."

Wu Xia didn't say anything. He noticed just now that although Qiao Ruige was a little limp when he was chasing him, he was very agile when he got out of the community and got into the car.

As if remembering it, Qiao Ruige said, "Ah, I was numb just now."

Without saying a word, Wu Xia started the car and drove out.

Qiao Ruige pursed his lips. In fact, he was too impatient when he was chasing out of the fire escape just now. He kicked his foot against the wall and almost tripped him. However, it is better not to let Wu Xia know about such embarrassing things.

It was almost one o'clock when Wu Xia returned to the courier station after picking up the package.

Qiao Ruige followed him out of the car, and saw many vans similar to those driven by Wu Xia parked outside the yard. There were a lot of carton packages piled up in the yard, and several couriers were sitting in the room eating boxed lunches.

Wu Xia moved the items collected in the car in, and Qiao Ruige also obediently helped.

Immediately, a courier asked Wu Xia who he was. Wu Xia looked at him and said "acquaintance".

When Qiao Ruige heard this answer, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't object.The couriers all looked at him curiously, his brand-name aura was really incompatible with the environment here.

Qiao Ruige was a little uncomfortable. He walked out of the yard and looked around. There were several small restaurants for catering. He looked back and found that the packages in the car were almost moved, so he turned and walked towards those small restaurants. go.

There was a restaurant selling fast food boxes nearby. Qiao Ruige guessed that the couriers probably bought their meals here. He went in and looked, and found that the dishes were almost sold out. He had no choice, so he turned around and came out again.

He walked along this street, and found that it was impossible to find a restaurant here that satisfied him, so he silently lowered his standards, and left when he saw a small shop with a clean front and a lot of diners go in.

This small shop sells fried noodles and fried rice. Qiao Ruige ordered two orders of fried noodles. There were four or five people in line ahead of him. After waiting for a while, he walked back to the courier station with two packed boxes of fried noodles.

As soon as he entered the yard, Qiao Ruige saw Wu Xia sitting under a tree eating a boxed lunch. Qiao Ruige was stunned and walked over slowly.

Wu Xia looked up, saw the packing box in his hand, and was also taken aback.

Qiao Ruige was a little embarrassed: "Have you made an order?"

Wu Xia responded vaguely.

A girl in overalls walked out of the room, looked at Qiao Ruige curiously, and said to Wu Xia, "Why don't you come in and have a shower?"

There is no air-conditioning in the room, but at least a few large ceiling fans are installed. The couriers who come back for lunch and rest like to stay in the room.

Wu Xia shook her head: "Not here."

The girl asked again: "Today I ordered an extra pair of chicken wings for you, is it delicious?"

Wu Xia smiled: "Thank you."

The girl smiled and chatted with Wu Xia for a few more words before walking away. Qiao Ruige stood beside him with two boxes of fried noodles feeling at a loss.

There was a sound of a car outside the courtyard, and another courier came back, and Wu Xia called to the man, "Brother Li, have you ordered the box lunch yet?"

"No, it's late today, I'm afraid there's nothing to eat." Brother Li said.

Wu Xia pointed to the packing box in Qiao Ruige's hand: "There is an extra serving of fried noodles here, you can eat it."

"That's good," Li Ge walked over cheerfully, looked at Qiao Ruige, and went to take out his wallet, "How much is it?"

Qiao Ruige passed over a box of fried noodles expressionlessly: "No money."

Brother Li was stunned for a moment, then took it: "Haha, thank you then."

Holding the remaining portion of fried noodles, Qiao Ruige looked left and right. There was no place to sit beside Wu Xia, so he had to walk a few more steps and sit down on a stone pier.

He turned his head to look at Wu Xia, but Wu Xia ignored him while eating his boxed lunch, which made him feel uncomfortable.

He has always been the one who controls the situation and gives orders, but here, he is just an outsider.

The fried noodles smelled delicious when they were fried, but now that Qiao Ruige was holding the box, he found that he couldn't eat it.

He has been keeping an eye on Wu Xia, and saw that he threw away the box after eating the lunch box and went into the house, and he didn't see anyone for a long time.

During the lunch break, the couriers went in to find a place to rest. Qiao Ruige didn't know who to ask. He kept picking up fried noodles with his chopsticks, completely losing his appetite.

After a while, Wu Xia came out and hurried out of the courtyard, Qiao Ruige quickly got up and followed.

"Why are you going?" George asked.

Wu Xia glanced at him, seemingly speechless: "I'm at work."

Qiao Ruige choked for a moment: "Aren't you resting?"

The other couriers have not moved yet.

Wu Xia said, "The rest is over."

"Then I'll go with you."

Wu Xia looked at the fried noodles in his hand: "You still..."

"I won't eat it."

Qiao Ruige turned around and went back to the yard, and threw the uneaten fried noodles into the trash can. When he came out, he saw that Wu Xia had already gotten into the car and started the car. .

This afternoon, Qiao Ruige sat in the co-pilot and looked at Wu Xia.

Wu Xia has been very busy, delivering and picking up packages, occasionally answering calls, or calling clients.For the rest of the time, he was silent, not sure if he didn't want to talk to Qiao Ruige, or he was too tired.

The weather was very hot, the van was not equipped with air-conditioning, and the windows were kept open for ventilation. Qiao Ruige felt that he was sweating all the time, and Wu Xia's overalls T-shirt was sweaty, so he hadn't dried it.

When Wu Xia got out of the car to pick up the package, he called Qiao Ruige. It was the secretary who asked him when he would return to the company. He gave some instructions and said that he would not go back for the next few days, so he turned off the phone.

He went into the small supermarket next to him, bought a bottle of iced mineral water, and handed it to Wu Xia when he came back.

Wu Xia was slightly taken aback: "Thank you."

He took it but didn't drink it, and threw it on the dashboard, took out the water glass from the slot on the car door, opened the lid and took several sips.

Qiao Ruige looked at his slippery Adam's apple and the sweat slowly dripping from it, swallowed, and asked, "Why did you do this?"

He knew Wu Xia somewhat, and knew that he liked a clean, comfortable and less tiring job. He had thought about what Wu Xia would do, but he never thought that he would deliver a courier.

Wu Xia screwed on the lid of the water glass, and after a long silence, said, "This one earns more money."

Qiao Ruige felt a sudden pain in his heart.

He thought of the envelopes that Jiang Miao gave him, which were thick and thin, and now getting thicker and thicker.

He said, "You don't have to..."

Wu Xia's phone rang, and he picked it up.

Qiao Ruige looked at Wu Xia, he wanted to say that you don't have to work so hard, don't rush to pay me back, I don't want you to pay back the money, as long as you come back and stay with me... But he looked at Wu Xia answering the phone with a focused face The expression, the unspoken words can't be uttered again.

Wu Xia was busy until almost nine o'clock in the evening before leaving get off work. After handing in the package at the courier station, he could not hide the tiredness on his face.

Qiao Ruige secretly felt distressed, and he asked, "Do you live far away? Do you want me to drive for you?"

Wu Xia looked at him, but said nothing.

Qiao Ruige felt that he didn't seem to want to answer this question, so he asked again: "Where did you go to eat?"

After asking this question, he felt a pang of emptiness in his stomach. In fact, he himself was already hungry, so he didn't eat two bites at noon, and it was so late.

Wu Xia tugged at his collar to fan the wind, and said, "If you don't mind, I'll treat you."

Qiao Ruige's eyes lit up, and he was a little happy, but he still held back and said, "Let me treat you, I haven't seen you for so long."

As a result, Wu Xia looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "That's still AA."

Qiao Ruige froze for a moment, and was about to refute, when Wu Xia said again, "Either I invite you, or AA."

Qiao Ruige had to keep his mouth shut.

Wu Xia took Qiao Ruige to a Shaxian snack.

Because Qiao Ruige didn't want Wu Xia to invite him, Wu Xia ignored him and ordered noodles with scallion oil.

Except for the meal at noon, Qiao Ruige had never eaten in such a place. He looked at the price list on the wall and saw that noodles with scallion oil were almost the cheapest. He glanced at Wu who was already eating noodles with his head down. Xia, I feel very uncomfortable.

Seeing that there was stewed soup on the price list, Qiao Ruige finally ordered a can of Gastrodia black chicken soup, and ordered a bowl of pork rib noodles for himself.

After the soup was delivered, he pushed the soup in front of Wu Xia and said, "It's been a hard day, drink some soup and make up for it."

Wu Xia looked at him, then at the steaming pot of soup, didn't say anything, just buried her head and continued to eat noodles silently.

He didn't touch the can of soup until Wu Xia finished eating the noodles and went out to smoke.

Looking at the can of soup, Qiao Ruige only felt his chest tighten, and he suddenly became frightened. Some things he thought he was sure of, now seemed not so sure, and he panicked terribly.
