Xu Baichuan hesitated for a moment, and opened the door.
Cheng Xu originally lowered his head slightly, but raised his head immediately when he heard the door knock, and the moment he saw Xu Baichuan, the light in the room came out, reflecting his dark eyes brightly.
Xu Baichuan frowned and asked, "What are you doing here?"
He didn't wear thin but showy clothes without fear of freezing to death like usual when he shuttled between dinner and reception, it was more like walking in a hurry and didn't have time to pack up a black half-length down jacket and put it on, both the sleeves and the shoulders were fluffy Yes, it can't show his figure at all, and it reduces the temperament of the male protagonist in his Korean drama a lot.
Cheng Xu looked a little tired, pushed the door open and entered the room, flicked Xu Baichuan's forehead casually, and said shamelessly: "A friend is coming from afar, let's have fun, Comrade Xu."
Xu Baichuan said with a wooden face, "Do you want me to break your hand?"
Friends come from far away? Where is Peng
Cheng Xu was selectively deaf. After entering the room, he fell on the sofa and sighed comfortably: "It's so warm!" Then he unzipped the down jacket, obviously not intending to wait and leave.
Xu Baichuan noticed that his exposed fingers and ears were slightly red, as if he had been outside for a long time, and couldn't help but wonder, didn't Cheng Xu go back to City B
"Why are you in City H?"
Cheng Xu sat up from the sofa, glanced at Xu Baichuan's hair, and asked, "Did you just take a shower?" Then he leaned over and turned around under the coffee table, got up again, walked around the living room, and then walked to the bathroom .
Xu Baichuan didn't quite understand his operations, and asked, "What are you looking for?"
Cheng Xu strolled into the bathroom, took out the hair dryer, pulled the power strip over as if at his own home, and said, "Come here, let you dry your hair."
Xu Baichuan didn't move, and asked again: "Tang Jin asked you to pick me up?"
After the words were finished, the smile that had been hanging on his face since he entered the door slowly disappeared. Cheng Xu looked Xu Baichuan from head to toe again, his hand holding the hair dryer tightened, and his knuckles turned white. His expression changed from laughing to calm, and then, the corners of his mouth suddenly pulled up, revealing a clear smile: "You want to go out?" His deep eyes locked on Xu Baichuan, playing with his taste: "No, I should ask more, you and He—reconciled?"
Xu Baichuan was surprised: "Didn't Tang Jin ask you to come?"
Cheng Xu said stubbornly, "Answer me first."
Xu Baichuan was used to seeing him like this, and thought he was ill again, and said impatiently: "No. Don't worry, I said I would not pester Tang Jin, and I will do it. Now you can Are you leaving?" Earlier, he thought it was Tang Jin who asked Cheng Xu to pick him up and open the door, but since he didn't, he didn't need to argue with this person.
Just about to chase him away, Cheng Xu suddenly took a step closer, grabbed Xu Baichuan's wrist, and asked hastily, "You want to see him? Why?"
The chill on Cheng Xu's body hadn't dissipated yet, and there was a smell of cold wind. Xu Baichuan shook off his hand, didn't bother to answer, took the hair dryer, and chased him away: "It has nothing to do with you. I have something else to do, and I don't have time to entertain you."
Cheng Xu narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he remembered something, and suddenly said, "Someone forced you?"
Xu Baichuan turned on the hair dryer in silence, and the humming air immediately filled the living room. Cheng Xu reached out and grabbed the hair dryer to turn it off, forcing him to answer himself: "What did they do to you?"
Xu Baichuan didn't intend to talk about these crap things with outsiders, and keenly caught one point: "They?" Isn't it just Tang Jin
Cheng Xu skipped his question: "I can guess it if you don't tell me. It's nothing more than cutting off your source of income, blackmailing you with people close to you, and then forcing you to go back, right?"
As expected of people in the same circle, they know each other's methods clearly.
Xu Baichuan didn't speak.
The lights from the roof fell, casting a faint shadow on his eyelashes. The air conditioner was fully turned on, and it might be because he had just taken a shower. He was wearing a creamy white sweater, which made his exposed wrists and neck extremely white. The half-wet and half-dry hair was fluffed up by the owner's blow-drying, and a few strands were curled up in a unique way.
Cheng Xu suddenly felt that he had returned to seven years ago—he skipped class for half a day, and when Tang Jin strolled leisurely to Tang Jin's house after school, he saw a clean and handsome man on the sofa.
The feeling at that time was already blurred, and even Xu Baichuan's appearance at that time was not clear, but at this moment, he felt that the person in front of him had passed through seven years and coincided with the boy who looked over faintly.
Obviously a very well-behaved face, but because of the lingering indifference and vague arrogance between the brows, it seems not easy to get along with, even a little mean. But at first glance, it actually has a good impression.
Many things that should not be said blurted out, many things that should not be done could not be controlled and wanted to be done, just like now, Cheng Xu suddenly had an impulse in his heart, he pressed Xu Baichuan's shoulders with both hands, and seemed to be choking on something, Very sour, he whispered: "I can help you."
Xu Baichuan didn't know what tricks he was going to play again, so he refused, "No need." He didn't like this kind of imprisoned posture, so he raised his hand to block Cheng Xu's arm, and pushed it a few times to remain motionless.
Cheng Xu squeezed his shoulder hand harder, and said: "If you lose your job, you will lose it. I can find it for you again. In my company, you can choose whatever position you like as long as I can talk to you. The people around you People, no matter who they use to threaten you, as long as you open your mouth, I can help you solve it, as long as you..." He suddenly choked up, as if he couldn't continue, he put his forehead on the back of the hand that was pinching Xu Baichuan's shoulder, and repeated :"only you… "
The tone is almost pleading, and the emotions are flooding.
The pressure on his shoulders suddenly became lighter, and Xu Baichuan couldn't describe his feeling.
It is probably the collapse and reorganization of the world view, the kind of collapse where the world is turned upside down, the mountains and rivers are shifted, the kind of group where the civet cat is replaced by the prince.
He is not deaf, nor is he a fool. It cannot be more obvious what Cheng Xu's words mean.
The shock in Xu Baichuan's heart was no less than Cheng Xu's. He used to be able to speak harshly to Cheng Xu, but now he doesn't know what to do.
He was used to being the villain in everyone's eyes, and he even felt that this was the only way to be free and carefree. Both liking and love are too short-lived, he doesn't believe and doesn't expect others to bet such feelings on himself. Only he himself can confirm the longevity of his feelings.
Not to mention Cheng Xu, even Tang Jin. He had been looking forward to Tang Jin's response, but there was a small area in his heart that was afraid of Tang Jin's response. He can love others, but he is afraid of others loving him. Fear of not being able to live up to expectations and meet the expectations of others.
But it's better to be disappointed than cheated.
Xu Baichuan firmly put Cheng Xu's hand on his shoulder, pretended not to notice it as much as possible, and said in a normal tone: "I appreciate your kindness. But, I'm sorry, I don't need it."
