Sang Zhi began to regret bringing this up to them. She felt that she had drank too much today, her brain was a little convulsed, or she had not woken up, and was in a half-sleep and half-awake state of confusion.
"You're all talking nonsense." She waved her hand, indicating that she didn't want to talk anymore, "Forget it, don't talk anymore, I'm going to go back to sleep."
"Is it unreasonable?" Yu Xin smiled and said, "By the way, does your brother have a girlfriend?"
"..." Sang Zhi opened his eyes and said hesitantly, "I guess he hasn't, he hasn't told his family, and I don't know if there is."
Wang Ruolan: "Has your brother ever been in love?"
"… "
Noticing Sang Zhi's reaction, Yu Xin's eyes widened, feeling that her guess added a reasonable proof in an instant: "Damn it! There's no such thing, right?"
"I don't know, he didn't tell me these things." Sang Zhi recalled, "But when he was in high school, he seemed to be called a parent because of his puppy love? I don't remember much either."
Yu Xin became excited: "In high school, how many years ago did that happen? The two big men didn't fall in love in their twenties, and they got together every day... You say, is there any other reason?"
"I didn't say that they definitely never fell in love." Sang Zhi glanced at her dejectedly, and said in a word, "Don't guess, read less novels."
Wang Ruolan: "What is your brother doing now?"
"It seems to be working in a game company." Sang Zhi thought for a while, "Programmer? The kind that writes code. I heard from my brother that his project team seems to be working on online games."
"Programmer?" Wang Ruolan was silent for a few seconds, "Really handsome?"
"Really." Sang Zhi said, "Maybe it's because I haven't seen anything in the world, but I've grown up so much, and I've never seen a man who looks better than him."
Wang Ruolan: "But this industry is not about staying up late for a long time and then treating computers or something..."
Sang Zhi: "Then he may be quite concerned about his appearance, so he should go to the beauty salon for maintenance."
"..." Yu Xin said, "That's pretty gay."
Wang Ruolan: "You said he was very flirtatious, so does he talk like this to everyone?"
Sang Zhi thought about the way he got along with Sang Yan and the others, and said, "It's almost the same. It's basically the same with people of the same age or younger than him."
Wang Ruolan snorted a few times: "Isn't this just casting a net everywhere? I don't think it's appropriate. If this kind of man is together in the future, he may also cheat."
Sang Zhi frowned: "No."
Wang Ruolan: "I just guessed, after all, I haven't seen this person before."
"He's not that kind of person." Sang Zhi whispered, "He treats everyone very well. In fact, it's obvious that he's joking and teasing you when he talks like that."
It was at this time that Ning Wei came out of the toilet after taking a shower. Seeing that the atmosphere in the dormitory was a little subtle, she wiped her hair and asked subconsciously, "What are you talking about."
Wang Ruolan quickly repeated what happened just now.
Ning Wei suddenly realized: "Hey, Sangsang. You look so good-looking, you don't need to hang yourself on this tree, maybe you don't want this person, you will find that there are too many people who are better than him. too much."
Sang Zhi was silent for a few seconds: "Yes."
"If you still feel that you can't let it go, then try it. Anyway, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. He just treats you as a sister, and the two of you are not really related by blood." Ning Wei said, "As for whether he has a relationship or not. If you've talked about love, don't think about it, it's nothing to mind."
Sang Zhi: "...you asked me to chase him?"
Ning Wei: "Yes."
"Impossible." Sang Zhi couldn't imagine how Duan Jiaxu would react if she did such a thing, and she didn't dare to fall in the same place twice, "Forget it, I still live my life normally. Have a nice day."
Yu Xin: "Actually, you don't need to chase, so you showed that sign?"
Sang Zhi: "What?"
"Didn't you say that he was always teasing you, and his words were quite provocative?" Yu Xin gave her advice, "Then you will retaliate with the same tone?"
"… "
It seems reasonable to hear that.
Sang Zhi nodded dully and imagined.
She curled her lips, stared at Duan Jia Xu, and said to him in a trailing voice, "Brother, what's the matter with you? When you see him, you just blush."
"… "
Too scary.
Haven't acted yet, just thought of this picture.
Sang Zhi began to feel suffocated! interest! !
Yu Xin felt that this method was particularly good: "What do you think?"
"Open the gate." Sang Zhi covered the quilt over her head and said slowly, "If you don't mention it, you will treat me as crazy after drinking, and make up a BE romance novel for you."
"… "
Although Sang Zhi thought so.
I want to put this encounter out of my mind and pretend that nothing happened. After all, the city is so big, and the chance of encountering it again will not be so high.
She wanted to treat her in the same estranged way as before, until she completely lost the idea.
But because of Duan Jia Xu's words, "Brother is here alone", when Sang Zhi fell asleep again, she had an inexplicable dream.
From a third perspective, she dreamed of his life.
Because of this sentence, it was associated with his life.
Go to get off work every day, eat alone every day, go home alone.
Still alone at home.
Whatever you do is a person's life.
Then, Sang Zhi dreamed again that when the second year of junior high school started, she went home with a few girls in her class. Because it was still early, they took a detour to a snack bar next to Nanwu University, and bought a fried chicken chop each.
She happened to see that Duan Jiaxu was part-time there.
His life seems to be completely occupied by the words learning and making money. Other than that, nothing else seemed to interest him at all.
But she had never heard a single complaint from him.
Not once.
That time, he no longer confiscates her money like in the dessert shop.
Instead, she filled her share.
Duan Jiaxu folded the seal. The bag was opaque and could not be seen from the outside.
The other girls had already taken their share and waited for Sang Zhi while eating, not paying attention to the situation here.
Duan Jiaxu put the paper bag into the plastic bag and handed it to her: "Child, take it."
Sang Zhi took it, "Thank you, brother."
"Brother, you look the cutest," he was wearing the uniform apron of the snack bar, his extremely beautiful face was smiling again, and then he bent down slightly and told her in a breathy voice,
"—So I'll secretly give you more."
The next day, Sang Zhi woke up early.
Maybe it was because of her uneasy conscience, or maybe it was because of other emotions, she tossed and turned on the bed for a while, then quickly picked up the phone she put aside and replied "I know" to Duan Jia Xu.
Sang Zhi originally thought that he should still be sleeping at this point. After all, I probably didn't go to bed early last night, and it's only early six o'clock now. When she was holding the quilt, she was still hesitating whether to offer to invite him to dinner.
Duan Jiaxu had already replied unexpectedly: [Wake up so early?]
The moment the phone vibrated, Sang Zhi was taken aback.
It was still dark, and the dormitory was dark, with only her cell phone glowing faintly. The surroundings were quiet, as if you could hear the sound of the air moving.
Sang Zhi was in a hurry, didn't know what to reply, and was too embarrassed to ask him to wait, so she immediately found a nodding emoji and sent it.
Duan Jiaxu: [Uncomfortable after drinking?]
Sang Zhi: [No.]
Duan Jiaxu: [If you go out to play, don't drink if you can.]
Sang Zhi pursed her lips and typed: [Okay.]
There was no more talking.
Sang Zhi stared at the screen, hesitantly considering the language: [Brother Jia Xu, when are you free? If I don't bother you, I would like to invite you to a meal, thank you for sending me back yesterday. It doesn't matter if you don't have time in the near future, you can set the time. If you can't think of when you'll be free, maybe it's Thanksgiving next month? I also want to take this day to express my gratitude to you.]
After finishing typing, Sang Zhi read word by word for a long while, then hesitantly changed the word "you" to "you". I usually don't pay much attention to this when I speak, but using "you" in written language seems to be a little disrespectful.
Sang Zhi continued to check for a while, and when she saw the word "love", she felt a little awkward for some reason, so she simply deleted it.
This sentence took her half an hour. After double-checking that nothing was wrong, Sang Zhi lifted her heart and pressed send.
Perhaps surprised by her sudden series of words, Duan Jiaxu took a while to reply: [Thanksgiving?]
Sang Zhi: [Yeah.]
Sang Zhi: [Otherwise you can decide the time.]
This time Duan Jiaxu sent a message directly.
Sang Zhi's headphones were not on the bed. She lifted the quilt, tiptoed out of bed, and ran to the balcony to listen.
He seemed to find it a little funny, and said with a low breath: "Thanksgiving is just Thanksgiving, but this is the end of next month, and my brother is not sure if he is free on this day."
Sang Zhi asked hesitantly: [Do you have anything else?]
Duan Jiaxu: "Well, I might have to work overtime."
Before she could reply, Duan Jiaxu sent another message: "Let's do this first, it's still early, you can go to sleep for a while. Then, brother will take you to repair your phone by the way."
Sang Zhi was a little confused: [My phone is not broken.]
Duan Jiaxu: "Huh? Isn't it bad?"
Sang Zhi: [Yes.]
Duan Jiaxu: "Brother thought you couldn't type 'you' on your phone."
Sang Zhi: "..."
Duan Jiaxu: "Where did the word 'you' come from? Why don't you respect your brother since you didn't speak before? One bite of yours."
Sang Zhi looked at the chat log above and felt that she seemed a little silly just now. She thought about how to save the situation, her fingers froze on the screen and did not move.
The next second, Duan Jia Xu extended his voice "Ah" and said again, "Does this mean, my dear brother?"
His tone was lazy, with a slightly raised tail, and he spoke with a clear laugh, as if he was scratching a cat that ran by when he was bored.
Sang Zhi has been teased by him since she was a child.
I get annoyed too many times.
She tightened her cheeks, sullen her face, and instantly sent a voice over: "This is what my dad told me recently. When talking to people over 25 years old, you have to use honorific titles."
"… "
"Good morning, Brother Jiaxu, your voice sounds very young." Sang Zhi said, "I hope your appearance can be as young as your voice."
"… "
This unexpected meeting has made the relationship between the two ease a little.
Sang Zhi no longer didn't answer his calls like before, and the two would chat on WeChat when they were free. Basically, he asked her to do something, like an elder.
She also deliberately substituted herself into the identity of "sister", as the little thought that was left of herself did not exist.
Thanksgiving is on Thursday.
Duan Jiaxu told her the day before that he didn't know if he would work overtime and asked her to wait at school. He would call her when he came.
Sang Zhi didn't have any classes, and spent the afternoon in the dormitory drawing on the computer.
When it was close to six o'clock, she got up and changed into a skirt, put on a thin make-up, and even put on eye makeup, false eyelashes, and high-gloss blush.
Soon, she suddenly felt that something was not right, and she removed it all.
Sang Zhi looked in the mirror and stared at her face turned upside down.
I struggled for a while.
Ugh.
So be it.
Otherwise, with his character, he would have to say, "Xiao Sangzhi came to see her brother, and she dressed up so beautifully?"
Do! Dream! ! !
She would rather not be so pretty than give him a chance to be narcissistic.
Sang Zhi returned to his position to look at the computer.
Time passed by, and before you knew it, it was eight o'clock in the evening. Sang Zhi was a little hungry after waiting, and sent a WeChat message to ask if he was free.
But he didn't return for a long time.
Sang Zhi hesitated to call him.
Still didn't pick up.
Sang Zhi felt that he might have to work overtime and didn't see it, but also felt that if he really wanted to work overtime, he would definitely tell her in advance. She didn't hesitate any longer and called again.
After the phone rang seven or eight times this time, the other end picked up.
Sang Zhi breathed a sigh of relief: "Brother Jia Xu, are you going to work overtime?"
"Sorry, Sang Zhi, brother just saw your call." Unexpectedly, his voice was a little hoarse, and he spoke very slowly, as if it was a little difficult, "Can you not go today? You yourself Go eat something, don't be hungry."
Hearing what was wrong with him, Sang Zhi whispered, "Brother, are you not feeling well?"
Duan Jiaxu: "It's alright."
This is no different from the default.
And listening to his tone, it seems to be very serious.
Sang Zhi immediately took the bag and walked out, asking, "Why are you feeling uncomfortable?"
His voice stopped, as if thinking: "It seems to be a stomachache? Maybe I ate something wrong yesterday. It's okay, brother just take some medicine."
Sang Zhi frowned, "Aren't you going to go to the hospital?"
Duan Jiaxu chuckled lightly: "I won't go, thank you Xiao Sangzhi for caring about brother."
After walking out of the dormitory building, Sang Zhi happened to meet a new school bus. She got on it and asked, "Brother Jiaxu, where is your company?"
"Are you coming over?"
"Um."
Duan Jiaxu didn't say much, and reported the address slowly.
Sang Zhi took it down and asked earnestly, "Brother, are you uncomfortable?"
His voice was soft: "It's okay."
Sang Zhi thought for a while, and then said, "Then you sit in your seat for a while, and I'll go look for you and take you to the hospital. If you're really uncomfortable, can we call an ambulance?"
Duan Jiaxu smiled, "It's not that serious."
"Then if you feel uncomfortable, you have to go to the hospital." Sang Zhi was inexplicably angry, and her tone became fierce, "It's okay to say that you can endure it. Otherwise, you can see if you still have colleagues, and let them send them to the hospital. You go to the hospital."
"Why did you lose your temper?" Duan Jiaxu seemed to find it funny, and there was a hint of connivance in his words, "Don't be angry, little Sangzhi, brother, be good, okay?"
"… "
"Brother is here," Duan Jia Xu said, "wait for you to come pick up brother."
Duan Jiaxu's company is located in Gangbei Building, a large office building.
Sang Zhi can be directly reached by subway.
She found the location according to the mobile phone map and walked into the building. This office building does not restrict people from entering and leaving. She was about to ask Duan Jiaxu which floor he was on when she found him sitting in the lobby on the first floor.
There was a sofa opposite the front desk, and he sat on it.
His face was exceptionally pale, and his normally red lips had become bloodless. He was leaning on the sofa, his eyes were half-closed, and his hand was on the lower right abdomen. I don't know if it was really uncomfortable.
There was no expression on Duan Jiaxu's face.
Sang Zhi walked over and shouted, "Brother Jia Xu."
Hearing the sound, Duan Jiaxu opened his eyes. Seeing her, his eyes curved into beautiful crescents, and then he stretched out his hand and said casually, "Pull brother up."
"Let's go to the hospital." Sang Zhi grabbed his wrist and pulled him up, "Brother Jiaxu, do you still have a fever?"
He stood up straight and said slowly, "It seems a bit?"
Sang Zhi moved her hand up a bit and supported his arm: "Is there a hospital near here?"
Duan Jiaxu recalled: "There is a community hospital."
Sang Zhi: "Then let's stop a car."
Duan Jiaxu obediently said, "Okay."
Afraid that he would be uncomfortable, Sang Zhi didn't dare to walk too fast, and moved a bit.
After walking several meters, Duan Jia Xu turned his head and asked, "Little Sangzhi, are you helping the old man?"
"..." Sang Zhi looked at him.
"I don't think you're a child," Duan Jia Xu recalled her previous words and said in a timid tone, noticing the look in her eyes, "Brother really can't change it, why don't you just shout like this?"
I don't think you are a child.
deceive who
Sang Zhi didn't want to bother with him any more: "Just shout like that."
Walking out of the building, in addition to the subway station, there is a bus stop nearby. There were a lot of people, so Sang Zhi didn't dare to get too close, for fear that he would be crowded. She looked forward, turned around and said, "Brother Jiaxu, wait for me here. I'll stop the car in front of me, and I'll call you over when I get there."
How could she treat the little princess like this.
Duan Jiaxu followed her and said indifferently, "I'll go with you."
There is a lot of traffic in this area, there are office buildings all around, and there are several groups of people who have just finished working overtime. Some went to the direction of the subway station, and the rest were waiting for the bus here.
Hearing his words, Sang Zhi turned around again and planned to help him over. Just at this time, a bus just arrived at the stop.
The person who was still separated by a long distance ran over immediately, trying to catch up with the car.
One of them accidentally pushed Sang Zhi because he was too anxious. She was unprepared, her body subconsciously leaned forward, trying to find something to stabilize her, her palm instantly supported Duan Jia Xu's abdomen in front of her.
The next moment, Sang Zhi heard that he seemed to take a breath, and his voice was barely audible.
The body also bowed down reflexively.
Sang Zhi's breathing stagnated, and she immediately withdrew her hand, feeling that she must have touched the spot where he felt pain. She raised her head, her lips moved, a little anxious, and wanted to ask him how he was doing.
Before she could speak, Sang Zhi felt a heat on her forehead.
Soft and warm to the touch.
If Sang Zhi didn't feel wrong.
Like his lips, touching her forehead.
From this angle, she could only see Duan Jia Xu's Adam's apple sliding, pulling it into a beautiful line. With the hot breath of a man, it swept towards her overwhelmingly.
