The weather forecast that morning said that there would be a big drop in temperature at noon the next day, but it was only after eight o'clock in the evening that the temperature suddenly began to drop sharply and the wind picked up.
Other people at the annual meeting were either drinking hotly or talking passionately, no one seemed to feel cold, only Shen Yiyou huddled next to the heating box, his hands and feet were cold from the cold.
He and Li Shu stayed together for more than half an hour.
Li Shu has a talent for staying out of the way, but it doesn't make people annoying. Shen Yiyou didn't want to leave the heating box, so he chatted with Li Shu without saying a word, thinking of an excuse for leaving early.
Li Shu and Zhu Yingbo, one of the founders of the company, were college classmates and had collaborated on projects while in school. This time when Li Shu came to S city, he stopped by Zhu Yingbo to discuss the regional market situation. Tonight happened to be the annual meeting of Zhu Yingbo's company, so Li Shu came to take a look at the atmosphere of his company's employees.
"I was going to leave after five minutes." Li Shu told Shen Yiyou.
"Why didn't you leave?" Shen Yiyou said casually, and then realized that the question he asked was a little redundant.
But Li Shu calmed down and didn't answer.
They were silent for a minute or two, Shen Yiyou hugged his arms tightly in the cold wind, finally thought of the reason to go home early, and planned to go to Zhu Yingbo to say goodbye, when suddenly he heard Li Shu ask: "You are cold, aren't you?"
Shen Yiyou raised his head, and found that Li Shu had taken off the coat outside the hoodie, and handed it to Shen Yiyou like a student handing a pen between classmates: "Put mine on."
Shen Yiyou froze for a moment, looked at Li Shu for two seconds, and subconsciously refused: "No need."
"Put it on." Li Shu was half a head taller than him, looked down at him with serious eyes, and stretched out his hands in the air.
Shen Yiyou felt that he really wanted to stuff the coat directly to himself, but because he didn't have such experience, he didn't know how to stuff it better, so he was still thinking about it.
"No need," Shen Yiyou wanted to laugh, and waved to Li Shu without picking up his clothes, "I have something to leave first."
"I'm leaving too," Li Shu replied quickly, "You wear it first."
Probably finally done enough mental construction, Li Shu stuffed the coat into Shen Yiyou's arms, then quickly withdrew his hand, and took a step back, as if to prevent Shen Yiyou from stuffing the clothes back for him again.
Shen Yiyou accepted it a little dumbfounded, thanked Li Shu, and put on his coat.
Li Shu's jacket is quilted, there is no perfume smell on the clothes, and the inner layer carries body temperature, Shen Yiyou warms up as soon as he puts it on.
But Li Shu himself only wore a thin hoodie, and when he took off his coat, he was wearing even less than Shen Yiyou originally.
Shen Yiyou was a little moved, looked at Li Shu and smiled, and said, "I'll return it to you when I go in."
Li Shu didn't answer, turned his head away unnaturally, paused before saying, "I'll go find Zhu Yingbo." Then he left.
After a while, Li Shu and Zhu Yingbo came together.
"I'll ask the driver to take you off," Zhu Yingbo said, "Yiyou, where do you live?"
At that time, Shen Yiyou's house was still being renovated, and he rented it near the studio. He told Zhu Yingbo his address, and Zhu Yingbo said casually, "Li Shu's hotel is also nearby, so you just happened to be on the way. I'll take you down."
When they went downstairs, the driver was already waiting downstairs, and Li Shu and Shen Yiyou were sitting in the back seat together. The car was very warm, Shen Yiyou took off Li Shu's coat, looked up and found Li Shu was looking at him again.
"You should wear more clothes when you go out in the future." Li Shu said to him.
Shen Yiyou gave a "hmm" and explained: "I didn't expect it to be so cold."
Li Shu opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.
The chat ended here, and they sat quietly for nearly half an hour. Arriving at Shen Yiyou's residence, Li Shu insisted on asking Shen Yiyou to put on his coat again, and he sent Shen Yiyou there before leaving.
Li Shu was very persistent, and Shen Yiyou couldn't bear to refuse, so he agreed. Li Shu continued to walk beside Shen Yiyou with a distance of seventy or eighty centimeters, and kept turning his head to look at Shen Yiyou.
The community where Shen Yiyou rented a house was very old, with dense greenery, but the lights were almost nonexistent, and the road was completely dark. The building where Shen Yiyou lived was deep in the community, and the two of them walked in the dark for a long time without saying a word, and finally reached the downstairs, where there were some lights coming from the building.
Shen Yiyou turned around, raised his face and said to Li Shu, "I'm here." He handed the coat back to Li Shu again, and said, "Thank you so much for today."
After saying goodbye, Shen Yiyou walked into the building, after a few steps, Li Shu called his name from behind.
"Shen Yiyou," Li Shu said, "Can you give me a contact information."
Shen Yiyou turned back to look at him, but didn't speak.
Li Shu straightened his back and stood under the steps, a bit uncomfortable, but he said to Shen Yi calmly: "My job is not in S City, but I have time to come over next weekend... I can come often in the future."
"If I come to City S, we—" Li Shu paused for a few seconds before saying, "—can you meet me?"
The lights in the residents' living room on the first floor were suddenly turned on, and the dim light passed through the glass window and shone on Li Shu's face. He was wearing glasses and looked at Shen Yiyou with great concentration. work matters.
Shen Yiyou felt that this might be the closest thing this person could say to strike up a conversation.
It's better than "Isn't it cold to wear so little?"
Shen Yiyou couldn't help laughing, and asked Li Shu, "But why did we meet?"
Li Shu stood far away, staring at Shen Yiyou without saying a word, like a contestant who knows nothing but wants a prize very much, so he had to bite the bullet and play.
Shen Yiyou felt that his eyes seemed to say that he couldn't answer this question, but he just wanted to meet Shen Yiyou.
In the end Shen Yiyou compromised, sighed and reported his mobile phone number to Li Shu, saying: "I can come out with you when I'm free, but I can't if I'm not free."
"Okay," Li Shu seemed to cheer up easily, with a faint smile in his eyes, he said to Shen Yi, "I will notify you when I arrive in S City."
Shen Yiyou turned around and entered the corridor. He went up to the third floor, opened the door, turned on the light again, went to the bedside and looked down, just in time to see Li Shu turn around and walk back slowly, with the phone in his hand, the screen was on. with.
Within a few seconds, Shen Yiyou's phone vibrated, notifying that there was a new message from a foreign number, and the other party said, "I'm Li Shu."
Shen Yiyou saved Li Shu's number, but before replying, Li Shu sent him another message.
"Because I don't feel comfortable without seeing you."
Shen Yiyou looked at his mobile phone for a long time before he figured out that Li Shu was answering his question just now. It was funny and he felt baffled. He wondered why there was such a strange person, so he asked Li Shu: "What's wrong?"
Li Shu quickly replied to him: "Chest tightness, dizziness, and rapid heartbeat."
"..." Shen Yiyou was very helpless, "Then you should go to the hospital for an examination."
Li Shu answered irrelevantly: "I want to meet you."
They sent two or three more blank texts before saying good night.
Before falling asleep, Shen Yiyou's mood didn't get much better, but Li Shu dilutes his unhappiness, and he no longer thinks about the dispute with his mother.
Even until the most unhappy moment before deciding to break up, Shen Yiyou thought back on Li Shu's messy performance that day, and still felt that even if he was asked to choose again, he would still choose to fall in love with Li Shu.
Maybe Li Shu's fun and hurt are bundled, you can't buy fun alone, don't hurt people, Li Shu has always been Li Shu, never changed, Shen Yiyou is the only one who doesn't behave well.
