"Although love at first sight sounds casual and sudden, sometimes the longevity of a relationship doesn't seem to depend on how he happens, but on how people handle the relationship."

"Hey, if I'm as handsome as Brother Sheng, 80% of the time I have a wife and children, and I'm on the road to happiness." Fatty blushed, stood at the door of the hotel building, and said while waiting for the rental. .

"Being handsome is not the only criterion." Miao Yu whispered after hearing this.

The fat man was probably a little dazed. He stepped on the road along the road and stuck his head out to look at the street. Occasionally, he raised his hand to stop him a few times, but unfortunately he didn't stop him.

The two colleagues who were still able to catch the last tram left after explaining to this side. Then, the only ones left at the door of the building were Fatty, and Liang Chen, who was standing three steps away, and the others. Miao Cheng two people.

Miao Yu grabbed Cheng Yan's arm and asked in a low voice, "Cheng Yan, how are you going back?"

"It should be to send Liang Chen off." Cheng Yan said.

"Then take me back along the way?" Miao Yu blinked and continued to ask, "Where does her family live?"

"Chengbei District, what about you?" Cheng Yan replied.

But before the words landed, Fatty stopped the car and turned his head and shouted, "Assistant Liang, I'll take you off."

Hearing the sound, Liang Chen didn't even forget to take a look here, and took two steps towards Fatty. When Miao Yu saw it, she felt that Cheng Yan would definitely not need to send Liang Chen away, and then she heard the sound of the door closing over there, and the fat man got into the car and left alone.

Liang Chen turned back with a smile and said, "Miao Yu, where do you live? If you drop by, let's take a taxi together."

Then Miao Yu pouted and said slowly, "Southern District."

The two districts in the north and south of the city are separated by the central district where the office building is located and the Linjiang district where the restaurant is located. Even if the drive back and forth is not congested at all at night, at least it takes thirty or forty minutes to drive. In this way, Miao Yu naturally does not So I asked for more, so I whispered: "Then you can go all the way, I will go back by myself."

"Then let's get you on the bus first." Liang Chen replied.

After that, within a few minutes, the car that Miao Yu called came ahead of schedule. Cheng Yan and the others put him in the car and told her to send a message. They also called for the car and went to the north of the city.

After the sky darkened, the city of Rongcheng looked like an old city. The newly built skyscrapers in recent years were hidden in the night, and most of the remaining low-rise residential buildings were dotted with stars.

Cheng Yan looked at the lights passing by outside the window, and suddenly thought of the clip that he recalled in the morning. He always felt that suddenly someone was standing in front of him, but the face in his memory became very blurred, and he couldn't even remember it. The mood when I saw him at that time, why did it stay in my mind like that

Liang Chen sat next to Cheng Yan and asked him, "Ayan, are you..."

"Huh? What?" Hearing the voice, Cheng Yancai pulled his thoughts back and turned to look at the person next to him.

"I mean," Liang Chen smiled when he saw his reaction, "Are you a little afraid of Mr. Huo?"

"No, you..." Cheng Yan hesitated, "Why do you ask that?"

"However, it feels a bit like that, but maybe it's my misunderstanding." Liang Chen looked at him and made up his mind.

Cheng Yan also followed her words and continued: "Maybe it's a bit of recognition, you know me."

When he replied that, Liang Chen was a little surprised, so that she squinted and pondered for a while, and then she thought about it, but she thought maybe she thought too much, and turned to look at the road ahead.

Xu is that Liang Chen was tired after a busy day, and he didn't say a word after that, until he was about to reach the place, the driver asked her, "Are you going down this alley?" She then raised her eyes and replied, " Just put me here."

Liang Chen looked a little sleepy when he got out of the car, and Cheng Yan also explained: "When it's time, give me a message." He asked the driver to drive forward two blocks, and then got out of the car.

In fact, Cheng Yan usually lives in a rented house in Linjiang District, which is very close to today's restaurant. But today was also because of the things that suddenly occurred to him in the morning, which made him suddenly want to come back and have a look.

It was really late when I got home. There was no light when I went upstairs, so Cheng Yan took out his mobile phone as a flashlight and checked the time by the way.

At half past eleven, my mother should be asleep.

But he didn't think that Mother Cheng was really sleepy. He had just unlocked the lock and was changing his shoes at the door when he heard a soft knock on the bedroom door and someone came out.

Cheng Yan raised his eyes and whispered, "Mom, did you wake up?"

I saw Cheng's mother shaking her head, and then asked him: "Why don't you say anything when you come back? I can leave you a light."

"It just happened that the company party was near here today, so I came back." Cheng Yan explained, "I will tell you in advance next time. Go to sleep today, and I will wash and sleep."

"Okay." Mother Cheng replied, but she was not at ease after speaking. After she went to turn on the light in the bathroom, she took out the bath towel for him, and then turned back to the bedroom.

Although it was summer, Cheng Yan felt warm and comfortable in his heart. After entering the bedroom, he slowly turned on the air conditioner, allowing him to break the silence of the room.

The bed in the bedroom is by the window, and the low cabinet is by the bed. Unlock the lock and open the drawer on the third floor of the low cabinet, and there are some things that are more important to Cheng Yan.

A group photo of a family of three when they were young, a rusted metal car model, graduation certificates and awards from various periods, two or three old passbooks, and a diary with a damaged cover.

The items were taken out in the top and bottom order, and then put in one by one, leaving only the diary outside.

Cheng Yan squatted in front of the bed, wiped his hair so that no water dripped, and then threw the towel aside and opened the diary. He turned the pages quickly, without stopping because of the words in the diary, until he turned to one of the thick layers, then slowed down, and gently took out the thin paper sandwiched inside.

There is a layer of scotch tape on the back of the tissue paper, and there are obvious tear marks under the scotch tape. He can remember who tore it off when he looks at it, but he doesn't care to recall those details, but slowly spreads out the front. .

Then he sighed in his heart. It turned out that he was like this seven years ago. It seems that nothing has changed, but he seems to have become a little more mature and stable.

But no matter what, he is him, as long as it is him.

Just like this relationship, even if it is hidden in the heart, as long as Cheng Yan knows it himself, there is no need to tell others. And just relying on this little happiness can make him fall asleep peacefully.

The morning sun is not as dazzling as it is in the morning.

When Cheng Yan got up, Cheng's mother was still awake. Probably because Cheng's mother is now retired, and most of them are chatting with the aunts in the community, taking a walk and doing some casual work. There is no need to get up early, so Cheng Yan lightly left a note as an explanation. Then went out to the company.

When he arrived, it was still early, and no one came in the office. When Auntie Qing pushed the door and saw him, she was surprised that someone came earlier than her, she said in surprise, "Xiao Cheng came so early? "Then I chatted with him a couple of times about what to eat in the morning before cleaning the office.

Auntie smoked the vacuum cleaner and went to the next floor after two passes in the office. After Cheng Yan waited for the others to leave, he looked around the office again, and then began to move the computer screen from the right to the left.

But just when he had just unplugged the cable and was about to move around the heavy LCD screen with both hands, Miao Yu came to the company very early for some unknown reason, and was surprised when he saw his movements. : "Cheng Yan, why did you remember to change the direction of the computer screen?"

"Huh? Well, that." Cheng Yan put down the monitor with a little panic, and quickly explained, "I've been looking this way too much, and my shoulders are uncomfortable."

When Miao Yu heard this, she said "Oh".

There were only two people in the office. Cheng Yan was slowly moving things around for work. Miao Yu looked at him with some doubts, but couldn't say it was unreasonable, so she sat there without saying a word, watching him change lines desktop, adjust the phone.

After observing for a while, Miao Yu felt a little bored, and without waiting for him to finish his work, he asked with a bit of gossip: "Cheng Yan, just the two of us, can you talk?"

"By the way, you came with the new minister yesterday, what do you think of others?" Miao Yu asked, "Speaking of which, we haven't done projects with him before, right? It looks like a good face, but it's actually very good. The harsh one."

"No." Cheng Yan replied subconsciously, then paused for a few seconds, feeling as if he had overreacted, and wanted to explain, when he heard a 'didi' swipe from the door of the office.

Immediately after he crossed the top of the computer screen, he happened to see the door being pushed open. Huo Sheng walked in and greeted them, "Good morning."
