Bai Jinming carried a bag of food and went up to the eighth floor. As soon as he got out of the elevator, he saw Qiao An crouching on the secretary's desk with his computer in his arms, frowning, and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
When Qiao An saw him, it was as if he had seen a life-saving straw. He immediately got up and said, "You came just in time, tell He Cheng for me, and tell me that my mother told me to go home and leave first."
As he said that, he picked up the notebook and ran out, but was grabbed by Bai Jinming, "Wait a minute, what's going on?"
Joan blushed, raised his chin and looked at the lighted general manager's office not far away.
Bai Jinming understood instantly, and let go of him with a long sigh, "Just don't listen to what he said about working overtime, you don't know what he's thinking?"
"My dad asked me to learn from him, what can I do?" Speaking of this, Joan stomped his feet angrily, "I haven't seen him for ten years, how did he become so...so..."
He held back for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable adjective, so he could only turn his full of resentment into a sigh, "I really didn't expect it."
"Okay, let's go quickly, he will call you again in a while."
Bai Jinming handed him the bag in his hand, "Take it back as a snack."
Joan looked at his pocket, then at him, raised his eyebrows, "Did you buy it?"
"Of course not." Bai Jinming was very calm, "Xu Ran gave it."
Hearing Xu Ran's name, Qiao An was stunned for a moment, and his face turned pale immediately after realizing it.
"No way..." he murmured.
"how?"
"No, it's nothing." Joan pushed the pocket back, "I don't want this, you should give it to someone else."
After speaking, without waiting for Bai Jinming's reaction, he turned his head and ran away.
Bai Jinming stared at him for a long while, until Qiao An walked into the elevator and went downstairs, then looked away, went to He Cheng's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in." A calm and powerful voice came from inside, and there was such a strange joy in listening carefully.
Bai Jinming curled his lips in silence, pushed the door open and went in.
"Where's the person?" He Cheng asked immediately.
Bai Jinming glanced at him, "Let's go, I was scared away by you."
"I didn't do anything." He Cheng touched his chin.
"In view of your recent performance, I have serious doubts about the veracity of this statement." Bai Jinming said.
He threw the pocket to He Cheng, and the two cans of coffee collided and hit He Cheng's leg. He Cheng frowned and asked, "What's going on."
"Xu Ran gave it to me. I just ran into him at dinner."
"Him?" He Cheng's complexion changed, his tone was bad, "What is he doing here?"
"He didn't come to see you. I think he was just having dinner with friends. He stopped by to see, and he just left at the gate." Bai Jinming sat on the sofa and crossed his legs, "You think he came here specially your?"
He Cheng snorted indistinctly, and threw his pocket aside, "He doesn't have any friends."
"He's a young man, he doesn't look very old, he's probably a colleague from the unit."
He Cheng tried his best to search for the memory of such a person in his mind, but it was all in vain. Occasionally he would ask Xu Ran to talk about things in the unit on a whim, but he always went in one ear and out the other for all kinds of trivial and boring things.
After thinking for a while without any clue, He Cheng gave up with a cold snort. Anyway, it's a cold period now, it doesn't matter who Xu Ran wants to go out to eat with.
It's just that the feeling in my heart has changed a lot in an instant when I know that person has been around here. Looking at the bag of food lying on the ground, the trademark pattern on the plastic bag is particularly dazzling under the light.
He leaned back in his chair, frowning, with his hands crossed, beating softly to a meaningless beat.
Bai Jinming said seemingly unintentionally, "You two broke up?"
"not yet."
"Then you don't go home at night and force Qiao An to work overtime together. What do you mean?" Bai Jinming squinted his slender eyes and stared at him, "Eating what's in the bowl and looking at what's in the pot?"
Seeing that He Cheng didn't reply, Bai Jinming said again, "Qiao An's life is not easy, he talked about that last time, didn't he just want to save some face for his former friends, so be careful to push him like this. "
Bai Jinming knew about the little farce after the wedding last time, so he naturally knew what Qiao An had said to He Cheng. He has always been too lazy to delve into emotional matters, he doesn't like and doesn't bother to care about those love affairs that go around. It's just that I can't bear to see my good brother turn from a scumbag who only treats Xu Ran to a scumbag who has two feet on his feet.
Every man hides a boy in his heart. All the memories of He Cheng's boy stay in the year when Qiao An left. Now that Qiao An is back, the boy continues to be restless and restless when he was eighteen years old.
Childish, this word is almost never reflected in this man in front of him, but now Bai Jinming misses the days when they were eighteen years old like never before, at least at that time, He Cheng was a man who dared to love and hate.
But what could he blame He Cheng for? When the man is childish, even ten donkeys can't pull him back. He Cheng wholeheartedly wants to continue his relationship with Qiao An. Even though they have changed their appearance in ten years, the drive is still the same as before. This can only show that , What happened at that time had a profound impact on He Cheng.
Thousands of words slipped between his teeth and were swallowed back, Bai Jinming stood up silently, intending to stay away from this sick-minded Fa Xiao.
When he reached the door, he stopped suddenly, "Xu Ran asked me to tell you, remember to go home."
What responded to him was the sound of documents smashing onto the desk like venting anger, Bai Jinming grinned, opened the door and left.
The heavy and ear-piercing creaking sound from the glass door set He Cheng's heart on fire. He took a deep breath to subdue his anger, opened his notebook, and added a note on tomorrow's note: report for repairs and replace the door.
The joy brought by successfully tricking Joan to come to work overtime was tossed away by Bai Jinming's short words. He looked down at the bag at his feet, bent over and picked up a bottle of coffee that had rolled outside.
It's his favorite taste. Xu Ran knew that there was a coffee machine in his office, and he always said that coffee drinks were bad for his health, so he bought a few bottles for him when he went out occasionally. Xu Ran himself doesn't drink, that person has always disliked things that taste too strong.
So you said you didn't come to see him specifically? It's been cold these two nights, and with Xu Ran's legs, it's hard for him to walk a whole street.
He Cheng snorted coldly, and threw the coffee on the table casually. There is a saying that Bai Jinming made a mistake. He didn't eat what was in the bowl and looked at what was in the pot, but the one in the bowl was never as good as the one in the pot. If he could change it, he would have changed it long ago.
When was the first time you wanted to replace Xu Ran
It seems to be the spring ten years ago, the second week after Xu Ran confessed his love to him.
Although he and Qiao An broke up, his relationship with Xu Ran was still a secret in high school. He Cheng hated being treated as an after-dinner conversation, so he told Xu Ran that he was not allowed to show the slightest difference in school, Xu Ran also did it, but just like this, He Cheng felt uncomfortable two weeks later.
The reason why I agreed to Xu Ran was because he was too lonely. Joan's departure took away all the dreams and hopes he had when he was young and frivolous. He thought it would be better for another person to hold him, even if it was a teddy bear. But Xu Ran is not a character that can be brought out, and his ability to persist for two weeks is already the limit.
I don't know where that nerd got his eyesight. Before he said "forget it", he bought a tube of lubricant himself and waited for him to make a complete set.
The jerky and forbearing rhythm made He Cheng give up the idea of pushing him away like a ghost.
The second time was the day when the university admission notice came out. He thought that Xu Ran would go to the best university, but when Xu Ran held the admission notice with the same school name as his, He Cheng gave up again. Say the word break up.
Anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, he thought, the two people in the university will not meet every day, each will face a more complicated reality, maybe Xu Ran will get tired of it before he can say it first.
He Cheng's seven years as a university and graduate student were not easy. In order to get the approval of his family, he must get the best grades, and it may be because of Qiao An's relationship. He is very resistant to going abroad. Began to practice under my father.
Xu Ran didn't go to graduate school, he graduated three years earlier and found a decent job with a salary that was only a fraction of He Cheng's.
He Cheng is not a person who likes to remember, he can't remember why he didn't separate from Xu Ran when he was in college, maybe Xu Ran's almost begging for mercy stimulated some nerve in him, which made him think "maybe it's good to go on like this". Once a man is satisfied, it is easy to get worse, and when he reacts, he has already ravaged Xu Ran almost cruelly.
Ten years, it's hard to imagine being with someone you don't love for such a long time. Xu Ran's existence has become a habit. Occasionally, He Cheng will think about him when he is freed from his busy work. .
What kind of person is Xu Ran
He Cheng leaned on the soft back of the chair, looking at the can of coffee with a complicated expression.
He is a weak and incompetent man. He is a person who is willing to humiliate himself for that inexplicable "like". He Cheng has no idea why he likes him. Because you have money? Good looking? Or is the guy simply a masochist? No matter which kind of He Cheng didn't find it interesting, he just found it boring. The love in Xu Ran's mouth was much heavier than he imagined.
Occasionally, just occasionally, He Cheng would feel that that guy was really not worth it, but after thinking about it, he became a little angry. Xu Ran's obedience is only a side-level proof of his strength. If a stranger sees it, they might think that he is imprisoning Xu Ran, but he doesn't know that he wants to break up with this person from the very beginning. However, he has been hanging on.
Lai Lai Lai Lai, also passed ten years. They even survived the seven-year itch, which is nothing short of a miracle.
He Cheng felt uncomfortable with this fact.
Xu Ran couldn't give him the love he wanted, He Cheng thought, every time he met, he only wanted to see that person's crying face, this is definitely not normal love.
Love should be sweet, something full of good memories that makes people laugh, such as him and Joan in high school, not anger, irritability, and endless resistance and forgiveness.
He was wrong for scaring Joan tonight. He was too impatient. Qiao An had just returned to China, so he must not have adapted to the current life.
But it doesn't matter, Qiao's father has always been fond of him, this time he named Qiao An to learn from him, and they have plenty of time to continue their relationship.
In the field he is good at, He Cheng is a king, and what he wants will never slip out of his palm.
What's wrong with wanting to be with the person you like
He Cheng couldn't think of anything wrong, everything was because Bai Jinming was too allergic.
He doesn't know how to step on two boats, but before Joan nods, it's not too much to keep Xu Ran by his side, right
Just like he has done for the past ten years.
