"I'm afraid you know all my thoughts, and I'm afraid you don't know anything at all."
[Are you free at noon tomorrow? The restaurant opposite the company, I invite you to dinner.]
Cheng Yan only saw the content of Huo Sheng's text messages when he got home.
Although it was denied by Liang Chen, Cheng Yan had to admit that he and Huo Sheng did get closer.
And after that, for several days in a row, Huo Sheng occasionally called him to eat, Cheng Yan thought at first it was better to keep a proper distance, but it was a trivial thing to refuse once or twice, and he didn't dare to just cut it off. connect.
So in the end, I still couldn't resist the invitation of the father and daughter, the big one and the small one, and... and their own selfishness, and even occasionally met on weekends to take the little guy out to play.
Such days passed by so fast, and Cheng Yan unconsciously felt that perhaps his relationship with Huo Sheng, as Liang Chen said, was going to a 'pretty good' place step by step.
And when I think about it, I feel that the idea is always ideal, but it still has to succumb to reality. Cheng Yan sighed uncontrollably. He lay on the sofa at home and covered his face with the book in his hand, letting it block all his sight.
But is this really good? Things in the past few months have far exceeded their expectations. If this goes on, can it really be recovered
In mid-November, Huo Sheng had also been transferred for three months.
Cheng Yan and the others have two weeks left to complete the project.
These days, Cheng Yan added several nights of work in a row for the final report, and often stayed until the last time he got home, it was almost midnight.
Fortunately, during several temporary reports in the middle, Huo Sheng said that Cheng Yan did a good job, which gave him some motivation.
The temperature turned cold, Cheng Yan lay down on the sofa with a book and felt a little cool after a while, and hurriedly sat up.
The rare weekend was boring without any arrangements. Cheng Yan opened WeChat and glanced at random, and found that there were a few more messages in WeChat, which he hadn't noticed just now.
Thinking that he was bored at the moment, he simply swiped the lock screen and looked at it.
Only then did I find that there were several messages in WeChat.
One of them was from Huo Sheng, and it was sent half an hour ago, asking: [Have you eaten? Xiaoman and I happened to go downstairs for dinner, would you like to join us?]
Such content is not uncommon in the recent period, Cheng Yan glanced at it, and quickly replied: [I'm sorry I didn't see it, you go, I'm on my mother's side, not at home.]
After the message was sent successfully, he stayed for a while, and when he saw that the other party didn't reply, he jumped out to take a look to make sure there was no missed call, and then turned back to look at others.
The other three were sent by Miao Yu, and the words seemed to be very excited: [Cheng Yan, do you listen to the gossip, and it was from our group.]
The remaining two were ten minutes apart, [You're not here, I want to ask you if you know anything about Brother Wang. ] [Someone in the company seems to have seen Brother Wang contacting other companies. I don't know what it is. Now there are people who say that Brother Wang secretly handed over our information.]
Cheng Yan saw this message, his fingers paused for a moment at the edge of the screen, hesitant.
Not to mention where the news came from, this time, the project entrusted by Party A has a special target area, and the requirements of each company are mostly different. How could it be such a coincidence.
But he picked up the phone, thought about it, and decided not to comment on the matter, but just asked: [Where did you get the news?]
Miao Yu came back not long after: [Where else can I come from, just a group of girls they set up at the company's annual meeting last year, there are not many people.]
A screenshot was attached at the end of the message, when they talked about it. Cheng Yan opened it and glanced at it, and found that there was no so-called evidence and no photos, so he felt a little relieved.
After all, it is the result of a group of them, and such a thing is not the best.
Of course, Cheng Yan subconsciously felt that he shouldn't, but he was wondering if Huo Sheng would already know, so he didn't reply to her for the time being.
And at this moment, the news of Miao Yu couldn't wait to pop in again, [Cheng Yan, don't tell others, I just heard about it and wanted to tell you, I don't know if it's true or not.]
Only then did Cheng Yan go back to the past with a "OK", and it was considered an answer.
It was rare to come back recently, and Cheng Yan stayed at the old house until the night.
When he was about to go out, Cheng's mother still asked him as usual, "Is there still no news recently?"
"..." Cheng Yan felt that this kind of conversation had been done too many times, so he simply said, "Don't worry about it." He left quickly.
On the way home, Huo Sheng's message came back slowly, and he asked, "Are you going home now?"]
[On the way, going to the subway.] Cheng Yan quickly went back to the past.
Then he got into the subway, and he didn't receive any news from the other party before closing the door. It wasn't until the darkness outside the window turned bright again that Cheng Yan's phone vibrated again.
A voice message, the background seems to be on the street, Huo Sheng explained: [Then say when you are about to arrive, Xiaoman and I happened to be nearby and brought you something.]
At the end of the speech, there were dozens of seconds of blank noise, and then Huo Sheng shouted, "Huo Xiaoman, don't run around when you come back." This ended.
Cheng Yan listened to his ears and laughed, then replied "OK", and waited for the previous message 'Saved successfully' to pop up the interface before putting the phone back in his pocket.
When the subway arrived at the station, the bustling crowds swarmed out. Cheng Yan saw that the sky outside had completely darkened, and thought about asking them where to find them.
But who knows, he asked, but the other party directly told him that he was at the door of his apartment building, and he immediately accelerated his pace and rushed back.
Autumn nights are different from summers, and at night the temperature is extremely cold.
Cheng Yan was worried along the way, whether Huo Xiaoman would catch a cold if they waited like this.
But when he saw it, as expected, the little one was already half asleep in the adult's arms.
Huo Xiaoman tilted his head, saw Cheng Yan appear in front of him, turned his head to the side and called out "brother" softly, then adjusted his posture and slept with his face in her father's neck.
On the other hand, her father held her in one hand and handed it to Cheng Yan with a square box in the other.
Inside the box was the fruit tower of the cake shop that the three of them went to eat before. Cheng Yan was so pleasantly surprised that he took the box and looked around several times.
Seeing him like this, Huo Sheng, who was standing opposite, asked him with a smile, "Do you like it? It was Xiaoman who said you liked it, so I thought I'd bring you a copy."
But when he heard this sentence, Cheng Yan was stunned. Countless possibilities popped up in his mind for a while, as if they were pulling his brain nerves from each other, competing to respond to this sentence, which he knew was not aimed at people. 'Like it'.
He looked at the person in front of him and lowered his eyes silently, trying to wait for the result of this competition.
About tens of seconds, or a few minutes.
A gust of night wind blew, and somehow, it seemed to blow away the clutter in his thoughts. He suddenly didn't want to care about the possible and the impossible, but simply realized that he wanted the other person to know. So a little bit, even just a little bit.
Then, he clearly heard himself speak and said, "I like it, I like it all."
