It was more than ten o'clock when Tang Yi returned to the hotel room.
At this time, most of the other colleagues started a real nightlife. Especially after Shen Fan left the table for an accident, the cold air that enveloped the entire banquet hall suddenly disappeared as if swept by a typhoon. For this group of people who are slick to the bones, Shen Fan's shock tonight at most shows that his temper is not as soft and bullying as his father, but how much he can suppress will depend on the future.
Shen Fan walked on the front foot, and the three palaces and six courtyards formed by the board of directors at the back all dispatched.
One is the new boss who holds the power and does not know the details, and the other is the second-in-command Zhou Hao who quietly killed the Quartet.
Although these people couldn't figure out the details of Tang Yi, they also came over to have a drink with Tang Yi very politely and humbly based on the principle that one more thing is not one less thing.
These people toast, Tang Yi dare not not drink.
His own position is here, neither Shen Fan nor Zhou Hao are familiar to him, and now he can't help but raise him up high. What Tang Yi did today, even if it was right, would be broken a little bit and picked out if it was not, and then wrote it down on his head and calculated it slowly.
In the workplace, he was accustomed to giving himself a way back. Even though he clearly saw the sincerity of Shen Fan and Zhou Hao, Tang Yi did not forget to put up a "stop here" sign in his heart.
Tang Yi sighed in his heart, and could only drink a cup without hesitation.
The sophistication he has acquired in the past three years has been brought into full play at this moment. For senior leaders who are familiar or unfamiliar, he quickly retrieves a little bit of information from his mind, while trying to dig out each other's words and behaviors. Highlights and itchiness.
Every time I start, it's just right, and the portion is full.
It's just that as soon as he starts drinking, he really has a posture that he can't go back without getting drunk.
Under the elegant band accompaniment and the dazzling and gorgeous lights, Tang Yi's face gradually turned pale, and his stomach, who had just settled down for a few days, fell off the chain at a critical moment. The pain this time was worse than when Lin Rui received the wind at that time. Tang Yi frowned slightly and was just about to find a chance to escape when he met an old director with gray hair on the opposite side.
This is one of the old people who doesn't take Shen Fan seriously. At this moment, the old god was sitting in the seat, and he waited until everyone else had finished drinking before he raised his eyelids and asked, "Young people are becoming more and more open now. This old rule is not so much. Keep it up. Manager Tang, isn't it our turn to honor you?"
This sound, ah dragging, is meaningful, and it is clear that we want to rely on the old and sell the old. Tang Yi was annoyed, and was about to force himself to deal with this problem with a smile, when Zhou Hao suddenly raised his hand and took the wine glass from his hand.
Zhou Weiwei had already been carried by the secretary to the guest room to sleep. The chair between Zhou Hao and Tang Yi was also empty. At this moment, Zhou Hao naturally sat on the empty chair, his right arm rested leisurely on the back of Tang Yi's chair, and his left hand held a glass of wine with a nonchalant sigh.
"He drank a little too much, I'll take the wine instead."
The old director stared straight at Zhou Hao, and the latter raised his glass lightly, "Mr. Luo, you have a high position, so Manager Tang should respect you, why don't you toast this glass first, and then Manager Tang will return to you? "
The corners of Zhou Hao's brows and eyes were filled with coldness. He raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. After looking at the person on the opposite side, he said with a smile, "Manager Tang respects you three glasses, and I will take your place. President Luo, please don't. cowardly."
Everyone was shocked. Zhou Hao seldom drank. When the former boss was there, he would at most just drink it. Suddenly drinking at this moment, most of them can't be good.
Sure enough, after the director surnamed Luo gritted his teeth and drank three glasses, he saw Zhou Hao pouring wine again.
"Mr. Luo has a huge amount, and Zhou has to honor you as well." Zhou Hao looked at the wine glass for a long time, and added slowly, "But if you count the company's shares, you get five for each of me. Fortunately, I am here. People are easy to talk, how about the five of you who can’t get bored in one breath, so just drink it little by little?”
"You..." The surnamed Luo didn't expect Zhou Hao to be waiting for him here, so he almost carried his back in anger.
Fifty-three degrees of welcome wine, if he drinks it cup by cup, he is simply pinning his life on the belt of his trousers.
Someone timidly cleared the siege with a light cough, "Mr. Zhou, look, Mr. Luo is getting old, or else..."
"Young people today are really confused and don't understand the rules," Zhou Hao put the wine glass on the table coldly, raised his eyes and glanced at the person who made peace, "If I remember correctly, the manager of the administration department of city B The manager is three years older than Mr. Luo, why don't you join hands and pay respect to the old man?"
"… "
Zhou Hao doesn't drink alcohol on weekdays, so he just got drunk after just a few drinks. In the excitement of the second half, the directors began to quietly leave one by one, while Zhou Hao leaned back on the chair, staring at Tang Yi with a smile on his lips.
Tang Yi believes that the fly camp dog Gou, who has lived in the first 20 years, really can't be put on the table. The bottom line and dignity of unaccompanied children are repeatedly rounded and flattened by the word survival, which is hardly worth mentioning. After graduating from junior high school, he began to live in a homeless mode. When he was a child, there was a broken well house left for him in the village. After high school, he went to live in the town, and the well house was also requisitioned and changed.
However, during high school holidays, the dormitory is not reserved. The dormitory staff are all the family members of the teachers and have to take two days off with them. The school is afraid that the students will be held responsible if something goes wrong, so every holiday they will be swept away like flies.
When other children wanted to go home to see their parents, Tang Yi could only hold a mattress and find a place to lay the floor. Cold remarks from strangers and even fistfights were all too common for him.
When he was bullied for no reason, he hoped that someone would stand up and shelter him for a while. It's just that the Hutongkou is always deserted.
Until Tang Yi got out step by step, beat others, and dressed like a dog, he believed that the heroes in TV and movies who came from the sky to save people from water and fire were bullshit.
Except for this moment.
Zhou Hao obviously didn't drink much, and his eyebrows were heavy, showing a little thoughtfulness. However, his relaxed appearance is really good-looking. Even Tang Yi has to admit that Zhou Hao's appearance is actually a completely different Gu Yanting.
It's just that the former is more mature and wise, and more demagogic.
"Tang Yi," Zhou Hao finally sighed softly, reaching out to ask his opinion politely and considerately, "Will you help me back?"
Tang Yi supported Zhou Hao and finally returned to the door of the room. Zhou Hao's brows were slightly wrinkled and his eyes were tightly closed, obviously a little uncomfortable. Tang Yi couldn't help but feel anxious. When he swiped his card to open the door, he stumbled under his feet and almost knocked Zhou Hao down in the lobby of the suite.
Zhou Hao happened to be leaning against the wall, and the electric flint light grabbed Tang Yi's arm and dragged him back.
When the door of the guest room was automatically locked with a click, Zhou Hao squinted slightly and pushed Tang Yi against the wall behind him.
In the hollowed-out decorative column in the entrance hall, there is a large bunch of newly changed pink lilies, which faintly exudes an elegant fragrance. The hollowed-out decorative lights are soft and ambiguous, only Zhou Hao's deep and focused eyebrows carry a dangerous atmosphere like a tiger or a leopard.
Tang Yi's face became hot, and he tried to move again, only to find that his wrist was tightly bound by the person opposite him.
Zhou Hao lowered his eyes, his dark eyes stared at Tang Yi for a while, and suddenly came over. The breath with a slight alcohol smell was sprayed lightly and shallowly on Tang Yi's face. In the semi-dark light, the man stepped closer to the person who was nervous and stiff, and opened his mouth to bite off the other party's glasses.
"I like the way you look without glasses," Zhou Hao turned his head and threw the glasses to the ground, then gave a low laugh, and lowered his head to gently press Tang Yi's forehead.
"Tang Yi... Do you want it, try it with me."
Tang Yi: "..."
Zhou Hao was a little taller than him. In this posture, the two of them faced each other, and the tip of their nose touched each other.
What a good kissing gesture, Tang Yi thought to himself, if it weren't for this time, it would be great.
----
The word "try it out" was what he said to Gu Yanting at the beginning. This word is too subtle, giving each other enough room to back off. It's just that after he and Gu Yanting started inexplicably, the original intention of leaving enough room was thrown into the back of his mind.
When the two try to be inappropriate, they often end up with one side's concession as the final result.
Although overall, Tang Yi has always been the one who tried to show his true colors, but Gu Yanting has repeatedly adjusted himself after various experiments.
Gu Yanting was originally addicted to smoking, but Tang Yi didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so Gu Yanting slowly quit. The process of quitting smoking was really uncomfortable. Although Tang Yi knew that it was also for his health, Gu Yanting had a yellow face and thin skin, and when he was stunned by various inexplicable ailments and could not find the cause, he almost compromised.
On the other hand, Gu Yanting clenched his teeth and endured it. Later, he could not avoid the smoky occasion. Every time he looked at Tang Yi worriedly, he would tut and scratch his head slyly, "Look, I can bear it. live."
Gu Yanting had talked about more than a dozen boyfriends before, and they were all chased by others, so he was not good at sweet words, and he didn't know any holiday romance. Tang Yi was often dissatisfied with this matter at the beginning, so Gu Yanting secretly bought an old-fashioned calendar and nailed it to the wall. Then mark the special day with a large red pen, and take a look every day before going to work.
Tang Yi once laughed at his childish behavior and secretly changed one of them. Gu Yanting didn't realize it, and of course he missed that month's white or yellow Valentine's Day. Tang Yi waited for him to come home and pointed it out with a cold face. Gu Yanting jumped into the bedroom in fright. After carefully confirming that there was no label, he circled the bedroom three times with his head in his arms, "How could it be?"
After that, he sneakily bought a small cake while Tang Yi was cooking.
At that time, after 7:30, the five-yuan cakes in the supermarket were all on sale. Gu Yanting hesitantly pointed to the 2.50 on the cake label, and very clumsily to please Tang Yi, "Look, this means me!"
Tang Yi can cook, but the taste of the food he makes is quite satisfactory. Gu Yanting once saw him work overtime and had a stomachache, and at the cost of almost burning down the kitchen, he developed a good ability to have a good look and taste. At this point, Tang Yi felt ashamed from the bottom of his heart.
Gu Yanting criticized Tang Yi for interfering in his circle of friends, but he never tried to stop him. At most, he said with a sullen face after the incident, "My lord, I turned out to be such a person who values sex over friends."
Tang Yi was doing it for his own good, but he couldn't completely fill his void. Every time ER has a major project, Tang Yi has to travel with the team on business trips. Gu Yanting is very restrained in his personal life. Alone on the sofa, on the balcony, and in the bedroom, he said to Tang Yi alone, "Hey, when are you coming back! Our flowers are all dead."
Tang Yi was so busy that he could only take the time to reply hastily, "Then you need to pour some water."
Gu Yanting was awkwardly persistent, "No, you are responsible for your flowers."
Nowadays, the small clips of anger and resentment are mostly interpreted as "unreasonable" and "uncomfortable" in the environment at that time.
It's not that they haven't taken care of each other, and it's not that they haven't experienced ups and downs together. In this life, there will probably no one be like Gu Yanting. Tick the box to celebrate the gains and losses of that square inch. However, in the end did not escape the fate of shaking hands and saying goodbye.
Tang Yi has not been able to measure who is right and who is wrong in this relationship, and who is responsible for who.
How did it develop like this
At first, it was just a try, but it went all the way to the dark, and I wished that the mountains and rivers would never meet again.
---
Zhou Hao watched Tang Yi's beautiful eyes flickering, and seemed to look erratically into the distance, and frowned slightly as if he didn't adapt to the light.
The fragrance of pink lily slowly faded away, and the ambiguous posture and atmosphere were also dried up by a little bit of wind, leaving the two of them speechless.
"I'm sorry," Tang Yi said after a long sigh, "I can't agree for the time being."
I thought it was only for the sake of the former situation to get the results later, but who knows that in just two days, the feng shui will fall. He became someone else's sweet bun, a touch of white moonlight in his heart. It's a pity that he can't just agree, he can't let the lingering thoughts of those three years go to harm others like the law.
I'm sorry for my affectionate love for the past three years, and I'm also sorry for Zhou Hao.
"It's alright," Zhou Hao smiled lowly, "It's okay for me to wait."
Chapter 13 Sao Pang gave Gu Yanting a sympathetic look on his face, feeling hopeless for him.
The 11th long holiday was over. Tang Yi and Ning Zeyu left Sanya on the same flight the next morning. Before leaving, he left a piece of paper on the table in the living room, thanking him very sincerely. Thanks to Zhou Hao's care in the past few days, his tone is gentle and respectful, completely official, and the standard of attitude and wording can even be used as an administrative model.
There was no one in the small apartment. Assistant Yang called when Tang Yi landed and said that the keys were placed in the storage box at the entrance of the apartment. He is going to visit his girlfriend's house during the eleventh period. The latter's parents have already prepared a wedding room in the center of city T. This time he discussed the marriage in the past.
Tang Yi sent a congratulatory text message, but also knew that the small apartment would have fewer visitors in the future.
The new director came back, the new project came in, and the current situation of the T City branch was unknown. At this time, no one would work all night for a project like they did at first.
Tang Yi stayed in the apartment for five days, and when he was about to go to work, he called Sao Fatty.
When he and Gu Yanting were together, there was no distinction between you and me. In the hospital that day, he said "resolutely", and he wished he could just cut it cleanly. However, when he returned to the apartment and regained his senses, he remembered that most of Gu Yanting's bank cards were on his side.
So it is said that the longer the relationship between the two people, the more difficult it is to break up. Even if the relationship is exhausted, you come and go in daily life too much, and you will become a knot without knowing it. It's too much trouble to figure it out, it's no less than a split.
Tang Yi took out a card case that had not been used for a long time, stuffed Gu Yanting's bank cards one by one, and then notified Sao Fatty to come and get them.
Who knew that Fatty Sao agreed simply, but it was Gu Yanting himself who came.
Tang Yi was stunned when he opened the door, Gu Yanting had already squeezed in with his trousers pocket. His eye sockets are a little deep, and the bottom of his eyes is very blue. Fortunately, his whole body is clean and tidy, and his beard seems to have just been shaved.
"Didn't you ask me to get the card?" Gu Yanting lowered his head so that people couldn't see his expression, he just put a wallet in his hand on the coffee table, "This is your card."
Tang Yi asked Sao Fatty to come over at first because he didn't want to meet him. Although Gu Yanting was by no means the kind of stalker, embarrassment was always unavoidable. Now that people have come over, Tang Yi can only treat him as naturally and coldly as possible.
So he put the card holder on the coffee table and pushed it lightly, "Well, this is yours."
He didn't ask Gu Yanting if he wanted something to drink, let alone sit down.
Gu Yanting looked up at him and suddenly smiled strangely, "Are you chasing me?"
Tang Yi didn't speak.
Gu Yanting gritted his teeth, picked up the card holder and left. When he approached the door, he suddenly stopped, turned his head and stared at Tang Yi and asked, "Tang Yi, have you always looked down on me and wanted to break up with me for a long time."
"… "
There are two questions in a sentence, one "no" and one "yes". Being a person will have both advantages and disadvantages. Tang Yi is consciously affectionate but quite realistic. After he was dissatisfied with Gu Yanting in many ways, he set about reforming him. It is not considered to be looking down on him, but from the heart, the idea of breaking up is not the first time.
But there is no good explanation for this.
Tang Yi turned his face elsewhere, avoiding Gu Yanting's sight.
"..." Gu Yanting looked at him for a while, before nodding fiercely, "I see. Don't worry, I won't come to harass you."
He gritted his teeth and turned around and stepped out of the apartment door, but after just one step, he stopped again.
This time Gu Yanting's voice was much lighter.
"Actually, from the first day we were together, I was terrified of this day coming," he said.
Tang Yi was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, there was no one at the door.
There was no one in the corridor, and the numbers of the two elevators were still on different floors without any beating. It was obvious that Gu Yanting was taking the stairs.
Tang Yi frowned, thinking about whether Gu Yanting was ill. He did not take the elevator to run up the stairs at the 25th floor, and sighed again. No matter whether Gu Yanting was ill or not, he just arrived in the corridor without knowing why. Not lightly ill.
Gu Yanting did run down the stairs.
When he reached the outside of the apartment building, the piercing sunlight suddenly flashed before his eyes. He stood there in a panic for a long time, and then gradually regained his sight. At the same time, he heard Sao Fatty's shouts.
"Boss, hey, what's the matter??" Sao Pang ran out of the car at some point, standing in front of him and shouting in surprise, "Why did you get down? Did you say it?"
Sao Pang's original intention is good, one day husband and wife a hundred days of grace, Gu Yanting and Tang Yi have been facing each other for three years, living their lives with tea, rice, oil and salt. It seems that it is no different from the married life of ordinary people. If you can have a child, it is estimated that you can run all over the place by now.
It's common for couples to argue with each other. Whose young couple hasn't smashed the pots and pans? No matter if this matter is right or wrong, as long as Gu Yanting obeys first, apologizes, and spends some time coaxing, it will be over.
Although he is not in Gu Yanting's circle, he still doesn't quite understand how the two men can live together. But Gu Yanting and Tang Yi were so natural and sweet together that they once thought they were a model couple who couldn't get along with anyone but each other.
But it seems to be a little noisy at the moment.
Sao Pang scratched his head, seeing that Gu Yanting's face was extremely bad, his lips were tightly closed into a straight line, and he could only rack his brains to find other topics.
Gu Yanting opened his mouth one step ahead of him.
"Let's go," Gu Yanting said with a heavy face, "Go have a drink with me."
There is a small bar not far from Tang Yi's apartment. Before Sao Fatty went to pick up the car, Gu Yanting had already walked along the road to the door of the bar. When Sao Fatty parked the car and pushed open the door of the bar, Gu Yanting's table was empty for three bottles, and the fourth bottle was half drunk.
"Boss," Fatty Sao grabbed the bottle of wine with some seriousness, and said with sympathy on his face, "Drinking is useless! Tell me what happened to the two of you!"
Gu Yanting's handsome facial features were wrinkled together, his face was gloomy, and he obviously had no intention of opening his mouth.
Sao Pang could only push aside a few bottles of beer on the table and asked him, "Shen Fan is back, do you know?"
Shen Fan is also a student of the Provincial University. When Gu Yanting and Sao Fat Tang Yi entered their freshman year, Shen Fan, the senior of the junior year and the president of the school's student union, gave a speech at the orientation party. The handsome boy in white shirt and black pants almost blinded the whole school. Titanium alloys for teachers and students... Dog eyes.
The provincial university has two campuses. There are countless handsome guys and beauties on the main campus. They are handsome, cool, and talented. Shen Fan's outstanding features are not his facial features, but his special appearance. upright.
Decent to some extremes, for example, he is extremely disdainful of homosexuality.
Lin Rui was keen to participate in various club activities when he was a freshman. He is handsome and sweet, and his skin is very good. Except for a very few boys who were extremely disgusted with him, most of the seniors and sisters took good care of him. I always feel that this junior is very small and simple, a flower bone that can't stand the wind and rain.
Lin Rui became more and more promiscuous, and in the first semester of his freshman year, he was given a job as a junior officer in the social club of the school's student union. At that time, Gu Yanting was participating in the school's basketball competition, and he found that when Shen Fan came over occasionally, Lin Rui would come over enthusiastically and obediently.
Shen Fan didn't show it on his face, as if he was used to this kind of thing. Gu Yanting is not good at observing words, only knowing that Lin Rui likes Shen Fan very much, and Shen Fan has a bright eye because of his outstanding performance in the basketball game, so he wisely looked at the opportunity and informed Lin Rui.
Until one time later, Lin Rui didn't know what to say. When he was leaning forward, he was kicked in the stomach by Shen Fan and fell out two meters away. When Gu Yanting went there that night, he was shocked to see Lin Rui lying on the ground with a shocked face.
Shen Fan coldly gave them two words - "disgusting".
When they were sophomores, Shen Fan graduated and left the school. Later, Lin Rui and a handsome blond boy from the branch hugged each other every day. Finally, the whole school was full of trouble and blatantly came out of the closet. Gu Yanting, as the closest person to him, was inevitably affected. Many students looked at them sideways, but Shen Fan, who occasionally returned to school, seemed to let go of his grudges, and would nod his head when he met them.
When they graduated this year, Shen Fan even had a meal with them.
When Lin Rui came back this time, Shen Fan also came to catch the wind. At that time, Gu Yanting was only surprised, but didn't think much about it. After all, it has been more than three years since graduation, no matter what kind of favors and grudges, I am afraid that it will be over long ago.
At this moment, Sao Fatty said that Shen Fan was back, Gu Yanting gave him a suspicious look, and said, "Lin Rui came back a while ago, didn't we see you all?"
"Yes, I've seen him," said Fatty Sao hesitantly, as if he was a little hard to say. "But that day, hey, when you just went on a business trip and asked me to look at my sister-in-law, I saw him."
"What??!!" Gu Yanting was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened.
"Hey, don't worry, maybe, maybe it's a coincidence." Sao Pang swallowed, obviously he didn't quite believe it, "Didn't my sister-in-law go with a man with a child that day? The car's over... Hey, that's what it means anyway." Sao Pang cleared his throat and said, "I saw that we couldn't catch up with that car, so we came back. When we got downstairs of your house, guess me Who did you see? Shen Fan! What the hell, Chairman! He just put him downstairs and stared at your window without moving!!"
Gu Yanting was also stunned.
Sao Fatty: "Didn't you say that he doesn't like you like this? We all called our sister-in-law in the box that day, why are you still... "
"How long has he been standing?"
"More than half an hour," Sao Pang gave him a careful look, "Boss, what's going on?"
Seeing Gu Yanting frowning and not speaking, he couldn't help asking hesitantly. "Isn't it, sister-in-law..."
Hummer man and Shen Fan, just pick one out for comparison, Gu Yanting really has no advantage other than a face. No, there is no advantage in the face, the Hummer man is very similar to him, he is still mature and charming!
Sao Pang gave Gu Yanting a sympathetic look on his face, feeling hopeless for his future.
"Impossible," Gu Yanting raised his hand decisively to stop the words. The two faced each other in silence for a while, Gu Yanting's hand slowly clenched into a fist, and then slowly stretched out.
The fingers of his design draft are slender and powerful, and the shape of the hand is as beautiful as a hand model, but at this moment, the back of the hand is bursting with blue veins, and the ten fingers are nervously repeating the movement of curling up and letting go.
It took a long time for Gu Yanting to find his voice, speaking very slowly and firmly, "Fater, Tang Yi is definitely not that kind of person! He doesn't know how to tread on two boats, and when he was with me, it wasn't that no one pursued him. He, he doesn't even look at him, if his friends want to develop with him, he can directly block him."
Gu Yanting paused, as if giving himself some confidence, "He hates to involve sticky people the most, he won't."
"But," Sao Fatty opened his mouth and said in shock, "but, you two broke up!"
He couldn't help it, and slipped out another sentence, "And, what the hell, aren't you just confused and sticky..."
