just like it

Qiao Ruige came out of Shaxian snacks and saw Wu Xia standing by the side of the road smoking.

He was holding a cigarette in one hand and hanging by his side, slightly raised his head, not knowing what he was looking at.

Qiao Ruige watched him silently for a while, then walked over.

Wu Xia turned to see him, put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can, opened the door and got in the car.

When Qiao Ruige got into the co-pilot, Wu Xia asked, "Where do you live?"

The meaning of these words is obviously to send Qiao Ruige there.

Qiao Ruiger said, "I didn't book a hotel."

Wu Xia said, "You can order now."

Qiao Ruige said, "I didn't bring my ID card."

Wu Xia finally turned her head to look at him, her eyes seemed to have seen through all the calculations in Qiao Ruige's mind.

But Young Master Qiao had never seen any storms, and he looked back calmly.

Wu Xia thought about it and said, "Ask your driver to pick you up."

Qiao Ruige said calmly, "I drive the car myself."

"Where's your car?"

"I do not remember."

Wu Xia took a deep look at him, then turned to look out the car window.

Qiao Ruige was more calm.He didn't lie, he really didn't remember, he followed Wu Xia into that neighborhood in the morning, then got into Wu Xia's car and left, his car was left outside that neighborhood, he didn't care what kind of neighborhood it was at all.

Wu Xia rested her hands on the steering wheel and tapped her fingers.

George doesn't remember where he left the car, he does.It's just that it's a bit far from here to that neighborhood, and he's very tired, so he really doesn't want to make the trip.

He turned his head to look at Qiao Ruige again, turned the key and started the car.

The corners of Qiao Ruige's mouth were slightly raised, and he tried hard to control his smile from being too obvious.

After about 20 minutes, Wu Xia drove the car into an old residential area.There is no dedicated garage in the residential area, so Wu Xia drove the car directly to the door of an old building and stopped.

Qiao Ruige got out of the car and took a look at the dim street lights. The houses here might not be 40 years old, but maybe 30 years old.

He waited to go upstairs with Wu Xia, but Wu Xia didn't enter the unit door, turned around and walked to the other side.Qiao Ruige hurriedly followed, and within a few steps, he saw a light sign in front of him, with the words "accommodation" written on it.

Qiao Ruige's heart skipped a beat, and he hurried forward to hold Wu Xia, looked at the light board and then at Wu Xia, a little anxiously: "I don't live there."

Wu Xia looked at him and continued walking without saying a word.

Now Qiao Ruige was really in a hurry, he had been following him for a whole day, but he didn't intend to come to stay in some kind of small hotel.

He tightly clutched Wu Xia's wrist, not letting him go, gritting his teeth so hard that he couldn't speak, and stared at Wu Xia eagerly and aggrieved.

Wu Xia sighed lightly: "I didn't ask you to live there."

"……Oh."

"You let go first."

Qiao Ruige let go of his hand in doubt, Wu Xia continued to walk there, Qiao Ruige followed him and turned a corner, only to find that there was a small supermarket next to it.

After a while, Wu Xia came out of the supermarket and handed Qiao Ruige a package.

Qiao Ruige took it and saw that it was a box of underwear.

"The conditions are limited, and I can't buy the skin care products you use. Let's make do, anyway, just for one night." Wu Xia said.

Qiao Ruige was a little embarrassed.He remembered how he used these inexplicable little things to make things difficult for Wu Xia.

He did a lot of things like this, and Wu Xia only accepted him as a way to repay the debt, only to realize later that he was wrong.

There is not even a sensor light in the old corridor, only a little bit of moonlight.

Wu Xia was used to walking and didn't feel anything, but Qiao Ruige had a bit of difficulty walking. In addition, there were some sundries piled up by the residents on the stairs, and Qiao Ruige knocked several times after only going up two floors.

He took out his phone to light it up, hesitated for a while and put it back.

He looked up at Wu Xia's looming figure in the dark corridor, reached out to grab Wu Xia's arm, and slid down to hold Wu Xia's hand.

Wu Xia froze for a moment and stopped.

"I can't see." George said frankly.

Wu Xia stood for a while, then continued to walk up. He didn't hold back his hand, and let Qiao Ruige hold it.

Wu Xia rented a small apartment on the 7th floor on the top floor, and Qiao Ruige was shocked by its smallness as soon as he entered the door.

Visually, this small suite does not exceed 30 square meters. It has a kitchen, a bathroom, a living room, and a bedroom, plus a very small balcony.

There is no air conditioner in the room, luckily there is a water heater available.

Wu Xia didn't greet Qiao Ruige either, and went into the bedroom to take her clothes and went to take a shower.

Qiao Ruige saw that there was only a dining table and chairs in the living room and no sofa, so he walked slowly to the bedroom and took a look inside. There was a 1.5-meter bed, he pursed his lips, and turned back to look at the small living room.

There are some paper towels and instant noodles on the dining table, and there are a few books that look heavy.

Qiao Ruige went over to pick it up and looked at it, and found that it was a self-examination textbook for secretarial majors. His heart moved, but he couldn't believe it.

Wu Xia's performance today has made him afraid to connect these things with himself.

The sound insulation of the bathroom is not good, and the sound of rushing water is intermittent.

Qiao Ruige walked to the bathroom door, stretched out a finger and pushed the door, of course the door was locked, he twitched the corner of his mouth, secretly laughing at himself for unnecessary actions.

After Wu Xia took a shower, he changed into an old T-shirt and shorts. He wiped his hair with a towel, feeling sweat coming out of his body again.Usually he can wear nothing after taking a shower, but today he can't.

Opening the door, Qiao Ruige leaned against the door and smiled at him.

Wu Xia was in a daze for a moment, standing still, and even forgot to wipe his hair.

Qiao Ruige also looked at him, his eyes were gentle and affectionate.

After a while, Qiao Ruige leaned forward and lowered his head towards Wu Xia, but Wu Xia suddenly turned his head to avoid it.

"I'll get you a towel and a toothbrush," he said.

George sighed silently.

Wu Xia ignored him and went to the chest of drawers by the dining table to search.

Looking at Wu Xia's back, Qiao Ruige said, "I've been looking for you."

Wu Xia froze for a moment, then continued to search and took out a new toothbrush from the drawer.

Qiao Ruige said: "I know now, I... I did a lot of things wrong, I want to say sorry to you, and, I..."

"I'm sleepy and tired. I'll put my things here for you. I'll go to bed first if I have nothing else to do." Wu Xia put the towel and toothbrush on the table and interrupted Qiao Ruige.

He walked towards the bedroom, turned around as if remembering something, and said, "I'm sorry, you may have to sleep on the floor, I'll spread out a mat for you."

Seeing that he was about to turn around again, Qiao Ruige took two steps after him and looked at him with burning eyes: "Wu Xia, shall we be together again?"

Qiao Ruige, Master Qiao, has always been romantic and affectionate, and most of them are courteous and flattering to him. Even if he occasionally chases someone for fun on a whim, it's just a trivial matter of hooking his fingers.

Maybe he spent the most time on Wu Xia, but he didn't know how to cherish it at all. Luo Yuchuan once said that he was "dumped" and he refused to admit it. At this moment, "getting back together" is tantamount to self-defeating. slap.

He has never said such words to anyone, and he also thought that he didn't need to and didn't bother to say such words to anyone. Only now did he realize that these words are not so difficult to say to someone who can't forget for a moment in his heart.

Wu Xia seemed to be taken aback for a moment, looking at Qiao Ruige, he blinked his eyes slowly, and a mocking smile slowly appeared on his lips: "When have we been together?"

Qiao Ruige froze on the spot, he opened his mouth, but couldn't make any retort.

What is being together?

He never said "like", never regarded Wu Xia as a "lover", never gave him any sincerity, so what kind of "together" is that?

Wu Xia obviously didn't bother to talk to him: "I'm really tired, you can take care of yourself."

He was about to turn around again, but Qiao Ruige strode forward and grabbed him with a flustered expression: "Wait, wait, I, I still have this."

As he said that, he held Wu Xia with one hand as if he was afraid that he would run away, and took out the wallet from his trouser pocket with the other. He seemed to realize that it was inconvenient, so he let go of Wu Xia, and carefully took out a folded wallet from the middle of the wallet. of paper.

He slowly and carefully unfolded the piece of paper, which was the one hundred thousand IOU written to him by Wu Xia.

Qiao Ruige held the IOU in his hand, and looked at Wu Xia as if offering a treasure, but he saw Wu Xia's face turned pale, and there was a faint evil spirit between his brows.

Wu Xia looked at him coldly: "So, Young Master Qiao said he's been looking for me all this time, and he's come here after so much painstaking efforts, but he's actually here to collect debts?"

Qiao Ruige suddenly wanted to shoot himself to death.

"No..." He hurriedly explained, "I want to say, two years have passed, I..."

Wu Xia leaned against the bedroom door, crossed her arms and sneered at him.

Qiao Ruige suddenly squeezed the IOU, Wu Xia laughed so that he panicked and chilled, he was eager to do something to prove himself, or to prove something.

Qiao Ruige grabbed Wu Xia's shoulder, pressed him against the door and kissed him.

Wu Xia didn't respond, and didn't even bother to close his eyes.

Qiao Ruige kissed recklessly for a while, feeling more and more chilled, he slowly backed away, with Wu Xia's mocking face reflected in his eyes.

"I know, after the two-year deadline, Master Qiao wants to charge some interest first?" Wu Xia still sneered.

"No!" Qiao Ruige was extremely annoyed, he raised the crumpled IOU in his hand as if he was about to tear it up, but he hesitated for a while, as if reluctant to part with it, he carefully flattened it slowly and folded it.

Wu Xia didn't speak, just watched indifferently.

Qiao Ruige looked at him, and felt an evil fire in his chest, wanted to suppress him and bully him fiercely, but also wanted to turn around and run away immediately.

He took a deep breath, took two steps back, and said, "I'm going to take a shower."

He turned around and hurried into the bathroom, his figure even looked a little panicked.

After taking a shower, he changed into the new underwear that Wu Xia bought for him. Qiao Ruige hesitated to put on the trousers again. After thinking about it, he put it down again, and walked out wearing only a pair of underwear.

He heard Wu Xia on the phone in the bedroom.

"I'm sorry... yes, it was a bit sudden... I caused you trouble..." Wu Xia said.

Qiao Ruige saw a mat on the floor of the living room. He walked to the door of the bedroom and saw Wu Xia sitting by the bed just to hang up the phone.

Wu Xia looked up at him, stood up and said, "You sleep on the bed, I sleep on the floor, I forgot that you are a creditor, there are always some privileges."

As Wu Xia walked out, Qiao Ruige suddenly raised his hand to stop him by the shoulder and pushed him back on the bed.

"Just sleep here," said George.

Wu Xia struggled, and Qiao Ruige tightened his arms to hold him tightly: "As you said, the creditor always has some privileges, so you should take it. It's my creditor's request. I...I won't do anything to you."

After hearing this, Wu Xia really didn't move. After a moment of silence, he turned over and lay down, adjusted himself to a comfortable position, and fell asleep like this.

The room on the top floor was unbearably hot after a day of exposure to the sun. There was only a small ceiling fan in the bedroom. Even with the window open, it would not be much cooler in the middle of the night.

Qiao Ruige was still reluctant to let go of Wu Xia at first, and the place where the two skins touched soon began to sweat. He wanted to endure it, but he was afraid that Wu Xia would not be able to sleep well if it was so hot. Wu Xia was tired all day, and he didn't want him could not sleep well.

After hesitating again and again, Qiao Ruige let go of his arm, and only stretched out a hand to rest on Wu Xia's arm.

He didn't explain to Wu Xia that he didn't keep the IOU to collect debts from him, but because it was left to him by Wu Xia, the only thing that belonged to him.

Wu Xia must be extremely tired, even in such an environment, he soon fell asleep. Qiao Ruige saw fine beads of sweat oozing from his fair neck, and couldn't help but raise his hand to help him gently wipe it off. Lose.

While wiping Wu Xia's sweat, Qiao Ruige said, "Wu Xia, do you still like me? Can you... always like me?"

His voice was extremely soft, as if he was afraid of waking Wu Xia up, but also as if he was talking to himself, more like describing a dream, if the voice was louder, the dream would shatter.

The next day was another busy day for Wu Xia. As soon as he got in the car after delivering a parcel to a community, his cell phone rang.

Caller ID shows a line of English: "mydear".

Wu Xia immediately realized that this was his number saved by Qiao Ruige. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he answered, "Hi, hello."

"it's me."

"Ah."

"Do you remember where I parked my car?"

Wu Xia reported the name of the community.

Qiao Ruige said: "I will pick you up from get off work today, don't drive by yourself at night."

Wu Xia didn't say anything, just hung up the phone.

He hesitated for a while with his fingers on the phone screen, and finally just locked the screen and threw the phone on the dashboard.

Qiao Ruige drove to the courier station during his lunch break.When he woke up in the morning, Wu Xia had already gone to work. He took a taxi to pick up the car at the entrance of the community yesterday, went to the mall to buy a few changes of clothes, thought about parking the car at the express station, and continued to talk to Wu Xia just like yesterday. car to accompany him to work.

But his idea is good, but the reality is cruel.

There was an extra young man in Wu Xia's car, and someone was sitting in the co-pilot. If he wanted to follow, he could only sit in the compartment full of packages.

Qiao Ruige didn't understand what was going on, and Wu Xia didn't explain, nor did he drive him away.

Qiao Ruige guessed that Wu Xia might be waiting for him to leave on his own. He thought, how could he leave? He planned to spend his whole life.

So, Qiao Ruige drove his own car behind Wu Xia's car every day, like a courier.

Wu Xia goes to work and he also "goes to work". After Wu Xia gets off work, he drives Wu Xia home, eats AA, and sleeps on the same bed with Wu Xia in his arms at night. Qiao Ruige feels that he has made great progress and can already begin to experience that Put the small ceiling fan to good use.

After just following for three days, the number of phone calls from work became more and more day by day, Qiao Ruige still didn't panic at all, it would be a big deal if he lost his business, where would he go to find him if he lost someone?

At noon that day, a large cargo arrived at the courier station. Several couriers were busy unloading the cargo, and Wu Xia stood behind the vehicle to check the order.

The phone rang, and while he was answering the phone, he walked back for a while, and suddenly there was a scream behind him.

Wu Xia looked back in a daze. He hadn't slept well these days, and his reaction was a little slow. It took a while to realize that the truck that was parked well was approaching him.

For a moment of daze, Wu Xia suddenly felt a tightness in his waist, a figure rushed up, and the two of them fell heavily on the sand beside the road.

Wu Xia was dazed for a while, his head was a little dizzy, and he heard a noisy sound in his ears. He shook his head to shake off the sand on his head, and only then realized that it was Qiao Ruige who threw himself down to avoid the catastrophe. .

Qiao Ruige's head rested on the side of his neck, and his arms hugged him tightly, as if he had exhausted all his strength.

Wu Xia pushed him: "Get up, I'm fine."

Qiao Ruige didn't move, and Wu Xia soon realized that something was wrong. Although it was slight, he clearly felt that Qiao Ruige was trembling slightly.

Wu Xia put his hand on Qiao Ruige's shoulder, but didn't push it down.
