"I am unwilling to be far away, and I am afraid when I am close. I am unwilling to stop here, and I am afraid that you will know the thoughts in my heart and leave."

Cheng Yan only glanced at it, and immediately looked back like a lazy student meeting the teacher.

And the computer that was densely packed with words, accompanied by the agitation in his chest, made him feel a little confused for a while.

It's still a while before get off work, Huo Sheng came back early, doesn't he need to pick up Xiaoman himself? Probably not, he thought uncontrollably. But I really don't need to ask anymore, there is a feeling of loss in my heart, like a force, quietly hitting every nerve that makes him impulsive.

But, it is also true that there are so many things at hand, not to mention that the other party has already returned, and if you go to pick them up together, you will cross the line a bit. He put his palm on his chest, calmed down for a moment, and thought to himself, is this really something that a friend can do at will? This... he's a little unsure.

Thinking like this, the energy in Cheng Yan's body gradually slowed down, and finally turned into a stone thrown into a lake, submerged by 'those negations', and stopped moving.

"It's better to keep a good distance and just be friends." Cheng Yan whispered, then got up and went to the tea room.

When he left his seat, Huo Sheng, who was standing there talking to Liang Chen, was nowhere to be seen.

The machine in the tea room hummed for a while, and he leaned against the cabinet beside him, waiting for the coffee while recalling the situation just now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt a little stupid.

The other party clearly saw him, and smiled at him. He looked away so directly, but he felt like he had done something wrong.

Cheng Yan couldn't help biting his lower lip, sighed again, and then took the mug full of coffee and walked back slowly.

He was absent-minded, walking all the way, figuring out how to explain if he met.

But I didn't want to just turn around and go out, and just bump into someone head-on.

A lot of coffee was spilled, half on Cheng Yan's cuffs and half on the other party's clothes.

Cheng Yan immediately panicked when he saw it, and hurriedly turned around to get a tissue to wipe it off, and then apologized one after another.

But the strange thing is that the person in front of him didn't move for a while, neither raising his hand to wipe the stains on his body nor blaming him.

This made Cheng Yan raised his head strangely and saw that Huo Sheng was standing in front of him.

Seeing that he finally looked up, Huo Sheng smiled and said, "It's alright, I'll just go back and wash in a while." After speaking, he took out the kitchen paper in his hand and helped to wipe his cuff.

Cheng Yan snorted, his ears turned red, and the stupidity just now showed on his face.

"By the way, I just wanted to find you." Huo Sheng said in a gentle voice.

"Ah?" Cheng Yan still couldn't react, and after two seconds he asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Huo Sheng smiled and said, "It was a little bit just now, but it's gone now."

"Huh?" Cheng Yan didn't understand and didn't dare to ask.

On the contrary, Huo Sheng took the initiative to explain: "I just came back, and I still need to meet someone. I would like to ask you to pick up Xiaoman today."

"Now..." Huo Sheng asked him, "I might need to go back and change clothes, do you want to go with me?"

"Ah? No..." Cheng Yan quickly took two steps back, "No, no need."

"No, I meant to pick up Xiaoman." The person opposite knew he had misunderstood, and giggled.

This time Cheng Yan's face turned even redder, and he simply gave up and said, "No, I... I won't go, I really won't go, please tell Xiaoman for me."

"Huh?" Huo Sheng then reacted, "Is something wrong?"

Cheng Yan nodded slightly, "Yes."

After hearing this, Huo Sheng didn't ask any more questions, just smiled and replied, "Well then, I'll talk to her."

"That," Cheng Yan was uneasy, and quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to go with you, it's just that there are some things at work... So... I won't pick her up. I just finished my work. "

"It's alright," Huo Sheng looked at the person in front of him, knowing that the other party must be thinking too much, he replied: "I understand that you have worked hard for you these past few days. I will invite you to dinner another day."

"No, it's not hard." Cheng Yan raised his eyes slightly, "Then I'll go first."

After speaking, the two passed by, but Cheng Yan didn't expect that just as he walked around, he saw Liang Chen standing in the corridor with a stack of documents and seemed to be looking for Huo Sheng.

He didn't know how much Liang Chen had heard, so he just slipped away without even saying hello.

Leaving Liang Chen to smile meaningfully in the direction he was going in, and then left.

And Zuo Cheng Yan returned to the office, sighed bitterly, and scolded himself for being stupid again.

As soon as it was time for get off work, Huo Sheng left, and before leaving, he threw a small box to Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan took it apart and saw that it was a small package of candy from Jiangcheng, and the corner of his mouth immediately raised.

At about the same time, Fatty also stepped on the dot, and Huo Sheng passed by and entered the office.

Miao Yu, who had been working overtime for the past two days, saw it and asked curiously, "Brother Wang, why are you back at this point?"

As soon as Cheng Yan heard the sound, he immediately put the small box into his bag.

Although there was a lot of noise around the off-duty time period, he couldn't hide the exhaustion in the voices of the people who came. The fat man wiped his sweat and replied after a while: "Hey, I've been exhausted these past few days, I guess I have something at hand. It seems that it can't be done, you have time to help share some of it."

If Cheng Yan heard Fatty say this a few months ago, he would have been kind enough to help share some of the burden, but firstly, what happened before the interim report, and now he can't take care of it himself, just listen to it. There was no sound.

Although Miao Yu didn't want to make everyone unhappy because of a project, she was also a master who was more than enough, so she looked at Fatty and whispered, "I can't actually finish it... I guess Cheng Yan can't finish it either. Woolen cloth."

After these words fell, Fatty didn't say anything, just glanced around and sat down.

The people in the entire office dispersed in twos and threes, and slowly, only the computer screens in front of the few people at the desk here were still lit.

The percussion of the keyboard and the chorus of materials alternated for a while, before other sounds appeared in the entire space.

Colleagues at the next table greeted everyone before leaving.

Here, Miao Yu, Fatty, and Cheng Yan raised their heads, smiled and waved their hands to say goodbye.

After a while, Miao Yu couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly said to leave.

After the fat man said goodbye, he waited for someone to leave for a while, and asked reluctantly, "Cheng Yan, are you free?"

"No." Cheng Yan said with certainty, and it was impossible.

After hearing this, the fat man sighed heavily, packed up a lot of documents, put them in his briefcase, and left together.

After they were all gone, Cheng Yan calmed down again and dealt with the things at hand quietly.

One by one, Cheng Yan repeatedly confirmed each data, and then pressed save.

With a sigh of relief, he leaned on the backrest, and when he closed his eyes again, he saw a teacup appear in front of him.

The teacup fell on the table with a sound.

Cheng Yan looked sideways and saw Liang Chen sitting in the seat next to him with a curious face, and he felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, the other people in the office have also disappeared, and only this part of the huge space is left with a little temperature.

Cheng Yan thought for a while, and felt that what should come will always come, so he took a sip from the cup and asked, "What's the matter? Why didn't you leave?"

"It's so late, what else is there? Isn't it just that the work is not finished? It's normal to be busy for so long in the morning." Liang Chen said, but the next sentence, she immediately changed the subject, with a sympathetic expression With interest, he asked, "Tell me honestly, when you asked me where to take my niece that day, were you bringing a child to Mr. Huo?"

"..." Cheng Yan listened to this question and didn't have a good answer, but just bit the cup and thought.

But he didn't want Liang Chen to be too familiar with him. Seeing his reaction, he directly decided that his answer was yes, and said with admiration: "Ayan, you can do it, I thought you were the only one when I asked you last time. I'm just an ordinary friend with him, and I'm still worried about you, but your relationship is already so good?"

"No," Cheng Yan had no choice but to whisper, "It's just a friend, just a small favor."

Afterwards, Liang Chen wanted to say something when the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

Both of them were attracted by the movement and looked over at the same time.

I saw the WeChat prompt name displayed on the phone screen was Huo Sheng.

Liang Chen squinted his eyes instantly, with a look of 'I said so', smiling happily.

Cheng Yan, on the other hand, was like a little kid who was caught, blushing and repeated, "It's really not there, don't ask any more."

The author has something to say:

It's not good to change it over and over again, I always feel that something is wrong, is it too slow, let's pull down the timeline in the next chapter.
