The last time I entered Xu Baichuan's house was three months ago. Tang Jin walked to the door of the bedroom, stood there and thought for a while, then returned to the living room, lay down on the sofa, and took a nap.
Maybe it's a psychological effect, maybe he really felt Xu Baichuan's breath. He had the best sleep in three months. He slept until two o'clock in the afternoon. When he opened his eyes, a clean and tidy room came into view. , The sunlight came in through the window of the living room, which was a little dazzling.
He turned over abruptly, looked around, and then remembered that he was at Xu Baichuan's house. The room of more than seventy square meters was quiet, and a needle could be heard. He turned on his phone to check the time, rubbed the space between his brows in frustration, quickly put on his shoes and searched around, but he didn't see Xu Baichuan.
They separated after six o'clock in the morning. Xu Baichuan said to go for a morning run. It is three o'clock in the afternoon. The furnishings in the house and the slippers in the shoe cabinet have not been moved at all. been back.
Xu Baichuan lied to him.
Is he gone again
Like last time, it's business as usual, except that he won't be coming back.
Tang Jin immediately took out his mobile phone and called Xu Baichuan, but he couldn't get through. After repeating this five times, he still couldn't get through. He put on his coat and opened the door, and knocked on Luo Junyu's door. After a long time, Luo Junyu opened the door with the bird's nest on his back, and said in a daze, "Brother Xu? I don't know...but he seems to have signed up for a piano shop recently?...the piano shop Name? I don't know..."
Luo Junyu was still out of the situation, but Tang Jin gradually calmed down, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He turned on his mobile phone, first sent a text message to Xu Baichuan, and then entered Weibo, where he only followed two people in his freshly released trumpet account that didn't even have an avatar. He clicked on the one with the golden V, flipped to the first post of the blogger's Weibo, went downstairs while watching, and took a taxi to the nearby supermarket.

The phone buzzed several times, Xu Baichuan listened to the sound and fell silent, his fingers jumped on the keys. He was still a beginner, and the sound of the piano could not be clean and jumpy. Instead, it sounded like a bell hitting a bell with a hammer tied with several layers of cloth. The sound of the urn was dull and hazy. Just like his current state, he can't breathe.
Unconsciously increase the force of the fingers, the music gradually deviates from the score, and becomes more and more chaotic, and finally the crispness and deepness are combined together, completely changing into a vent.
In the end, he slammed his ten fingers on the keys, and Xu Baichuan stepped hard. The white porcelain stool rubbed against the ground and made a harsh sound. He stood up and took a look at his mobile phone, saying goodbye to the teacher beside him who had been silent since he went crazy. , leaving the piano shop irritably.
[Come back for dinner, I'll wait for you.]
Xu Baichuan had never sent such a text message, not because he didn't want to wait, but because he didn't want to wait.
The illusion is so realistic, if this continues, he will be deceived.
He took a taxi and left in the opposite direction of the community.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Baichuan knocked on the door of his house. He gave Tang Jin the key in the morning, but he didn't bring a spare key. Tang Jin opened the door quickly. Seeing his nose move, he asked, "Have you been drinking?"
There are seven or eight missed calls from Tang Jin and several unanswered text messages in the phone. As if he didn't hear Tang Jin's words, he pushed Tang Jin away and walked in. When he passed the restaurant, he found a few disheveled dishes on the table. As he walked, he took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, completely ignoring Tang Jin as he walked into the bathroom.
He dried his hair in the bathroom, and when he came out, he found Tang Jin leaning against the door looking at his cell phone, and he hurriedly turned off the screen of the cell phone when he came out. Xu Baichuan went in without a change of clothes. When he came out, he was only wearing a bath towel, his upper body was completely naked, and he went into the bedroom to look for pajamas. Tang Jin's gaze stayed on his thin shoulders for a moment, and he forcibly stripped them off, then quickly swept over his head, and was slightly disappointed to see the fluffy hair after blowing it. But soon cheered up and asked, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Xu Baichuan said casually, "Not yet."
"That… "
Before Tang Jin finished speaking, Xu Baichuan interrupted, "I'm not in the mood to test the poison for you." Then he threw a set of pajamas on Tang Jin, and said, "Either sleep on the sofa, or go back." Taking care of Gu Tangjin, he directly closed the bedroom door.
Everything that should be said has been said, and what has to be done has been done. Xu Baichuan's attitude was not indifferent, but he no longer followed him.
Tang Jin stood outside the door for a while, without saying anything, turned around to the restaurant, and dumped all the dishes on the table into the trash can.
For several days in a row, Xu Baichuan followed suit, going out early in the morning and staying outside until night, neither letting Tang Jin follow him nor answering Tang Jin's phone calls. It went untouched in a garbage bag...
Contrary to his expectation, Tang Jin didn't complain at all.
One day, when Xu Baichuan passed the bathroom, he heard that Tang Jin seemed to be talking on the phone with someone inside, and said firmly that he would never go back. Realizing that people outside might hear him, he lowered his voice.
Tang Jin lives in City H for the past few days. He has been relying on video conferencing to deal with the company's affairs, and he has to take care of him. His workload has doubled, and he is very tired recently.
Xu Baichuan has been deliberately treating Tang Jin coldly and ignoring him, and every time he sees Tang Jin's disappointed look and gloomy eyes, he can't help but want to hug him.
But now is not the time to be softhearted.
Tang Jin lived in this apartment for almost half a month, and finally received a call from Xu Baichuan.
At eight o'clock in the evening, he was on a conference call. A number called in. He ignored it for the first time, but he didn't expect the other party to call again. He had no choice but to go back and look at the caller. His pupils shrank, and he immediately said to the phone He said, "That's it for today." Then he hung up the current call in a hurry and picked up another one.
"Tang Jin, where are you?" Xu Baichuan's voice came out of the earpiece. It was different from usual, speaking a little louder, with a kind of intoxicated slack.
Tang Jin asked nervously, "I'm at home, have you been drinking?"
After stopping there for a while, Tang Jin waited so anxiously that he suddenly stood up and looked for his coat, and asked in a deep voice, "Xu Baichuan?"
"… Um?"
Tang Jin was sure that Xu Baichuan must be drunk: "Where are you, I'll pick you up." He only waited for a few seconds, then asked anxiously: "Where are you!"
He couldn't control the volume for a while, and after saying it, he began to regret it, so he lowered his voice and asked again: "Where are you?"
Only then did Xu Baichuan answer slowly: "In... rice grains, the bathroom."
Tang Jin immediately said: "Wait, stay where you are, I'll go find you."
