The drunk Guan Yudong gulped beer into everyone's glasses, and the white foam overflowed from the edges with a crackling sound.
As he passed by the cup full of Coke in front of Tao Zhiyue, he shook the bottle regretfully.
"Taotao, you really don't want to drink? Crayfish should be paired with beer, how refreshing."
Tao Zhiyue had already prepared himself mentally. He took a sip of Coke and shook his head calmly.
"No, I'm allergic to alcohol."
He was fully aware of his drunken robotic state, and he must not expose himself to his new colleagues so soon.
Today, it is not easy to establish a tall and majestic image.
Tao Zhiyue hopes to maintain this image for a longer period of time.
"Okay, I can't force you. Just order whatever you want to drink. If there's not enough food, you can just order more."
Guan Yudong readily let him go and happily served his colleagues who were in high spirits, muttering to himself while pouring wine and toasting.
"From now on, you can exploit Tao Tao boldly! Forgive me, let me deal with the next major matter in my life. I have been single for 25 years and still have to eat fertilizer! It's fertilizer!!!"
Tao Zhiyue: …
In fact, he didn't see it.
After drinking too much Coke with crayfish in the evening, Tao Zhiyue got up to go to the bathroom and when he came out he was going to pay the bill.
As a result, I saw the generous boss wearing beach shorts and open-toed flip-flops, already standing in front of the counter with the order in his hand.
Seeing him coming, Jiang Ye raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "I was just joking with you. I should be the one welcoming you."
Tao Zhiyue was a little surprised and unconsciously imitated Guan Yudong's tone, "... Thank you, boss?"
Jiang Ye didn't react to her. He was about to go back, but after thinking for a while, he turned around and said, "But you really can't touch my tree."
"..." Tao Zhiyue said solemnly, "Okay, Boss, I promise."
What an amazing person.
After the dinner, everyone said goodbye to each other and left separately. Everyone generously called a taxi because the cost could be reimbursed by the government.
The lively party was over, and lyrical music was playing in the taxi. Tao Zhiyue leaned against the window to enjoy the breeze, watching the lights and traffic of the late night flying away.
Somehow, thinking that Jiang Ye was driving to the company to pick up Shu and take him home, he sighed quietly.
The strange envy deepened.jpg
Half an hour later, Tao Zhiyue got off the bus at a 24-hour convenience supermarket near the community.
When I came out again, my family was already carrying several bags of canned beer.
Tao Zhiyue walked home with a beer in his hand and with firm steps. He looked very serious, as if he was going to do something great.
Sitting at the dining table in the living room, the light from the ceiling lamp was soft and bright. There were papers and pens on the table, as well as a row of cold beers.
Tao Zhiyue took a deep breath, pulled the pull ring, raised the beer can and drank it all.
I hope to succeed again.
The clock on the wall ticked away, and the room was completely silent.
His not-so-peaceful breathing echoed softly.
Not long after, a familiar message alert tone came from the phone.
Tao Zhiyue, who had been staring at the blank paper in a daze for a while, turned his head mechanically and picked up the phone with a red face.
[“hr” patted me.]
[hr: Will you come tomorrow? Or later?]
[hr:/cute]
[Tao:mingtianl]
[Tao: Come tomorrow! It’s a weekend off!]
[hr: OK, have you bought the ticket?]
[Tao: I forgot! My memory is full today! Sorry!]
[hr:! ]
[hr: Dr. Tao seems very excited today.]
[hr:Dandan is in a daze.jpg]
[Tao: No excitement!]
[Tao: I’ll buy the ticket right now! ? ]
[hr: Should I start using exclamation marks, is this some new trend?]
[hr: Are you airsick? If not, tell me your ID number and I will make the arrangements. Tell me when you are ready tomorrow and I will send a car to pick you up at the airport.]
[Tao: No! I want to buy it myself!]
[Tao: Buy it yourself!]
[hr: Then buy the afternoon ticket, you can sleep in. I will arrange the itinerary after arrival. See you at Yanping Airport.]
[hr: I know, you have been drinking!]
[Tao: I didn’t!]
[hr: You must have been drinking! Why are you drinking again!]
[Tao: I didn’t, didn’t, didn’t, didn’t! ! ? !]
[hr: No, then no!]
[hr: But! This is a text chat, you will read the chat log tomorrow...]
[hr: cat giggles.jpg]
[Tao: !! So what if I see you!]
[hr: Then you have to promise me one thing!]
[Tao: You say!]
[hr: After reading the chat record tomorrow, you can’t suddenly regret not coming!]
[Tao: Oh!]
[Tao: Come on! I’m not afraid!]
[hr: OK! ! ]
[hr:dog rolling.gif]
[hr: Anyway, you will definitely be shy when you open your mouth, so I will just say it together.]
[hr: You are so cute like this!]
[hr: But it’s better not to drink! ]
[Tao: You are the cute one!!!]
[Tao: You are the one who drinks!!!]
[Tao: I’m going out!]
[hr: Wait a minute!]
[hr: You can’t go out when you’re drunk! What are you going to do?]
[Tao: I won’t tell you!]
[Tao: I’m not drunk!!]
[hr: I’ll call you!]
[Tao: I won’t answer!]
[hr:! ]
[hr: Then send me a message every five minutes, stop and stand in a safe place to send messages, until you get home, otherwise I will come to you immediately! ]
[pottery:!!!.?!]
[Tao: Can you fly? I don’t believe it!]
…
Tao Zhiyue woke up the next day, picked up the phone and looked at it for thirty seconds, then immediately buried himself in the pillow for a full half hour, wishing he could start his life over again.
How could this happen
This time it's really over.
He felt that he had completely lost the courage to face life.
Moreover, Huo Ran actually predicted his escape accurately.
Thinking of his fearless attitude of “Come on! I’m not afraid!”, Tao Zhiyue really wanted to travel back in time twelve hours ago and wake up the self who had a sudden idea.
By the way, all the embarrassing scenes I had experienced since childhood came to my mind uncontrollably, replaying in my mind over and over again, and I couldn't stop at all.
Tao Zhiyue hid in the quilt in despair and dug out a castle.
If possible, he really wants to live his life again.
The message tone rang four times in a row. Without looking, you could tell it was Huo Ran, sending his routine morning greetings.
Tao Zhiyue frowned and covered most of his sight in a self-deceiving manner before he dared to look towards the camera.
[hr: Good morning, are you awake? ]
[hr: Yesterday you bought a flight ticket for 3:30 pm. Jinbei Airport is far from the city, so it would be better to leave around 12 pm.]
[hr: But it’s okay if you missed your flight. Just tell me if there are any unexpected situations.]
[hr: Do you have a headache? If you feel uncomfortable, just rest at home. Your health is important^-^]
Tao Zhiyue actually wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but looking at that smiling face, he couldn't say anything against his will.
He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before he made up his mind to move and reply.
[Tao: Can you pretend nothing happened?]
[Tao: Don’t laugh at me…]
[Tao: crying cat head.jpg]
Huo Ran is very good.
[hr: What is it?]
[hr: I ate a lot of different breakfasts today, I feel so full.]
[hr: I’ll show you the photos when we meet and see which ones you like. We’ll eat them tomorrow morning.]
[hr: Little Bear Spinning.gif]
Tao Zhiyue didn't know how to respond at the moment. His thoughts were confused, and he felt embarrassed but also happy. He was annoyed that his behavior yesterday was so stupid, but he couldn't help looking forward to this carefully arranged meeting.
After hesitating for a while, he started to imitate Huo Ran.
[Tao: Little Bear Spinning.gif]
The essence of human beings is indeed a repeater.
Putting down the phone, Tao Zhiyue got up with difficulty and walked out in fear, fearing that there would be something unbearable to look at in the living room.
He opened the door and was caught off guard by his eyes meeting those of the chubby Cupid on the wall.
… He clearly put it in the cabinet last time.
It seemed that last night he not only used up all the exclamation marks in his life, but also did a lot of other things.
Tao Zhiyue covered his face in pain.
What a cruel new world.
Zhou Yu had to go to work at a new company and could only spend the night in Yanping City, so he didn't need to bring any luggage. Tao Zhiyue just put on his bag and went out.
On the way, he seemed to relive the feeling he had when he went to register for university many years ago. He felt nervous but excited at the same time. Everything he saw along the way had a different color and was deeply engraved in his memory.
This feeling reached its peak when the plane landed and taxied.
He obviously wanted to see Huo Ran, but he insisted on clinging to his seat until the last minute to get off the plane. Surrounded by the gentle smile of the flight attendant, Tao Zhiyue lowered his head embarrassedly and walked out quickly.
Walking on the covered bridge, he looked at the transparent glass all around him, and involuntarily stopped and looked at himself in the mirror.
Is this outfit appropriate? Is it too ordinary
After a hangover, my eyes seem a little swollen.
Tao Zhiyue moved closer to the glass window, trying to identify the extent of swelling in the faint reflection.
Then he was caught off guard and met someone else's gaze.
The stevedore standing next to the baggage cart happened to look up and was looking at him curiously.
…Is today a day of shame
Tao Zhiyue felt like crying but had no tears. He immediately stopped his foolish behavior and left this shameful covered bridge.
Following the detailed road signs, Tao Zhiyue quickly found the W2 exit that he and Huo Ran had agreed upon.
From the place where he got off the plane, W2 was the nearest exit, which Huo Ran told him in advance.
As the meeting time approached, his pace slowly slowed down.
There were many passengers around, pulling suitcases and carrying large and small bags, walking towards the exit in twos and threes.
Looking out from inside, you can see many people waiting to meet their flight attendants crowded outside the handrail. Some are holding signs with their names on them, while others are waving eagerly at the crowd of strangers, looking for that specific person.
There were laughter and talking everywhere, and the atmosphere of reunion was floating in the air.
Tao Zhiyue was carried by the crowd. He tightly grasped the strap of his backpack and walked out nervously.
The first time Huo Ran saw him, he smiled brightly, shining in the crowd.
But he was thinking of something, and quickly concealed his expression and just waved at him.
Tao Zhiyue was infected by the atmosphere and followed suit in responding, completely forgetting that they were already very close.
It feels good to be waited for.
Tao Zhiyue felt that he would remember this moment forever.
There was a man standing there, as if he had been waiting for him for a long, long time.
"Did you sleep on the plane?"
While Tao Zhiyue was in a daze, Huo Ran took his backpack smoothly.
Tao Zhiyue came back to his senses and pretended to be calm: "I'm not asleep, I'm not sleepy."
Not only was he not sleepy, he flipped through the in-flight magazine in the seat storage bag at least five times, although he didn't read anything.
They walked out side by side, their heartbeats falling in unison.
"What do you want to eat tonight?" Huo Ran began to list the dishes. "The seafood in this season is delicious. Do you want to eat it? There are crayfish, scallops, sea urchins..."
Tao Zhiyue's reflex was: "No crayfish!"
"I'm sure the method I used was wrong..." He was reminded of painful memories and couldn't help muttering to himself, "I didn't catch the old one, and I created a new bug. I need to learn from the lesson and make changes."
"Reunion of what?" Huo Ran pricked up his ears. "Reunion?"
"What reunion?" Tao Zhiyue asked blankly across the channel.
Huo Ran counted carefully, "It's been six months, it's really a reunion."
As he spoke, he smiled naturally, his eyes reflecting the figure that was so close to him, "Goodbye, you are so nice."
Tao Zhiyue's heart skipped a beat and his ears turned red instantly.
After hesitating for a while, he managed to utter in a very low voice: "You laughed, and you said you wouldn't laugh."
So Huo Ran couldn't stop smiling anymore.
“That doesn’t count because I’m very happy.”
