The weather is getting colder and colder, and before you know it, Christmas Eve arrives.
The campus is full of festive atmosphere. Students in each class have decorated the Christmas tree in the classroom, and they are still giving each other apples. Business in the supermarket is booming.
There were many apples from the students on the table in the office, Ying Tongchen picked up an apple, shook his head and smiled.
Fu Lv smiled and said, "There are a lot of classes today, and I don't even have time to buy apples."
Another teacher gossips: "Who will Teacher Fu buy it for?"
"I'm going to send my male god, and the delivery is successful, that's my ninth first love." Fu Lv smiled and turned to see Ying Tongchen who was preparing for the lesson, "What about Teacher Ying, is there anyone to send this year? "
"Childish and boring." Ying Tongchen said without raising his head, "Can sending two apples ward off diseases and evil spirits?"
"It's so boring. Interesting!" Fu Lv clicked his tongue twice, "God, I really have a hard time imagining how Teacher Ying and his partner will get along."
The teacher opposite laughed: "I think it's difficult to get rid of the teacher's order."
Fu Lu gave a wicked smile: "That's right, Teacher Ying is not romantic at all, so how do you get off the list?"
Ying Tongchen paused for a moment, looked up at the apples on the table, and shook his head. This is nothing more than a promotion method by the merchants. When it comes to this kind of festival, if you put a gift box, you can sit on the ground and raise the price. I don't know if there are any What is worth sending.
After dinner, as soon as he returned to the office, Zheng Zhinan rushed in from the office next door, carrying a plastic bag with at least three kilograms of loose apples in it.
"Dude, didn't you study at night tonight?" Zheng Zhinan asked excitedly.
"Yeah, what's the matter." Ying Tongchen tidyed up the desktop, packed up the apples he received, and prepared to go home.
"Discuss a matter, I have your class's evening self-study tonight, can you change it with me?" Zheng Zhinan smiled honestly, took out an apple from the bag, put it in his hand, and said with a smile, "I want to follow Sheng Wu went to a meeting."
"No." Ying Tongchen stuffed the apple back into his bag, "Are you going to give her this?"
"Yes, I bought so much, is it enough?" Zheng Zhinan patted his chest confidently.
Ying Tongchen suddenly found out that the promotions of the merchants are reasonable, although he is not keen on these festivals, but... He picked up a beautiful gift box: "I think it may be better for you to learn about this kind of packaging. ?"
Zheng Zhinan politely declined: "It's boring, everyone uses packaging boxes, so I want to be different. And I'm not fooled by that, the packaging is so expensive, I might as well buy some expensive apples for that money, it's not It looks like I'm going to live a good life."
"That's right." Ying Tongchen couldn't help but take a serious look at him, "Could it be that Sheng Wu just likes you and will live his life?"
"Of course it doesn't stop, where did you put my handsome face?" Zheng Zhinan bumped his shoulder, "My good brother, just promise me and change it with me."
"No." Ying Tongchen picked up the bag and walked out.
"Why don't you change it? I have to go on a date and there is nothing I can do. You don't have to go on a date." Zheng Zhinan stepped forward and asked.
Ying Tongchen hooked the corner of his mouth: "Who said I don't need a date."
"You're not a single... What do you mean? You're off the list?!" Zheng Zhinan looked at him in disbelief, "Why didn't you tell me when it happened? It won't be the last time. .. ”
"Mr. Zheng." Not far away, Sheng Wu shouted, "Where are you going?"
"Wait a minute, I have something to do." Zheng Zhinan waved back, chasing Ying Tongchen and walking in the other direction, "couldn't it be the man last time? Who the hell is he? Speaking of which, I have to thank him. , if it wasn't for the coup he gave me, I would never have chased Sheng Wu in my life."
Ying Tongchen stopped and looked at him helplessly: "If you follow me again, your Sheng Wu may really run away."
Zheng Zhinan blinked and said in shock, "Did Sheng Wu call me just now? Oh shit, I'll go first."
Ying Tongchen returned home, put his things down, and sat in the living room to rest. He looked at the familiar and not very big room, inexplicably a bit empty, and never felt that it was so deserted.
After a while, he turned his phone, opened the address book, and called Zhuo Shu.
After a while, the other side picked up: "Hey, have you eaten yet?"
"No." Ying Tongchen said, "How about you?"
"I haven't either." Zhuo Shu said quickly.
"I made a reservation, or I'll go tonight..."
"I'm sorry, I have to go to a meeting first. I don't know when it will end. I've been too busy these days." Zhuo Shu said with guilt, "I'll accompany you when I'm done."
"It's alright, you go to work first." Ying Tongchen said.
"Well, you won't be angry, will you?"
"No, I'm usually very busy in class, and you're not angry either."
Zhuo Shu smiled, took the documents and walked to the office, whispering: "Who said that, I'm also very angry, but what can I do? Teacher Ying is so dedicated."
Ying Tongchen smiled silently, and when he heard the people over there shouting Zhuo Shu, he said, "Then you go to work first."
"Okay." Zhuo Shu hung up the phone and pushed open the door of the conference room.
Tomorrow is Christmas, and next week is New Year’s Day. The various work arrangements in the mall are well-organized and cumbersome. Coupled with various performance appraisals and inventory summaries at the end of the year, the company has been extremely busy these days.
The meeting lasted for an hour and a half. After the work of each department was determined, the meeting was dismissed.
Zhuo Shu returned to the office and immersed himself in his work again. He wanted to solve it quickly and went to Ying Tongchen. As a result, there were many and complicated things, and it would not be settled for a while.
He rubbed his eyebrows and continued to read the report.
Mi Shu knocked on the door: "Mr. Zhuo, my tasks have been completed, I'm going to get off work."
Zhuoshu raised his head.
"My boyfriend is waiting for me downstairs." Mi Shu smiled apologetically, "It's been a long time."
Zhuo Shu looked at the time, and unknowingly it was half past nine, and nodded: "Then go back quickly."
"Okay, you can go back early too." Mi Shu put on her bag and trotted away from the office.
A few minutes later, Zhuo Shu received a call from Mi Shu and asked, "Why, do you want to understand that work is your true love, do you want to come back to work overtime?"
"That's impossible!" Mi Shu whispered while covering her phone, glancing in a certain direction in the hall, "Boss, Mr. Ying is downstairs."
Zhuo Shu was startled: "What? When did he come?"
"I checked with the security guard, it seems like he's been here for a long time, but he seems to be in some trouble now." Mi Shu informed the channel, then looked at Ying Tongchen and the two men opposite him, uncertain, "Anyway, Come down and see for yourself, I'll go back first."
Ying Tongchen didn't expect to meet acquaintances here. He waited downstairs for a while and saw the employees come out one after another. He expected Zhuo Shu to be soon, so he didn't interrupt each other's work, and sat on the sofa in the lobby. wait.
Time passed by, he glanced at the bag beside him, rubbed his hands on his knees for a moment, and turned his head awkwardly to look elsewhere.
Unexpectedly, at this inadvertent glance, he saw Liu Liong walk in through the gate with a man, and also called the security guard to see Zhuo Shu and asked them to open the gate.
The security guard shied away and said that there was no appointment and could not be released.
While speaking, Liu Liang noticed the existence of Ying Tongchen and immediately came over: "Why are you here?"
"You take care of me." Ying Tongchen said, "What are you doing here?"
"This is my senior. He is looking for a job. I think the major is suitable here, so I will bring it to try." Liu Liang didn't know what to think, he bent down and stared at his face carefully, the more he looked, the more he felt like he was back then The person who had seen him hurriedly turned his head and asked the man next to him, "Senior, do you think he looks like the person in Snow White's play at that time?"
Ying Tongchen didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, got up and picked up the bag, turned around and was about to leave, when he heard the person next to him calling him: "Tongchen? Ying Tongchen, is that you?"
Ying Tongchen looked back at the man, his skin was yellow, his eyes were blank, his expression was restrained, and he didn't react for a while.
"You don't remember me?" The man smiled awkwardly, "It's me, Jia Renyi."
Ying Tongchen's pupils trembled slightly, and it was really difficult to associate the person in front of him with the sunny and handsome boy of the past. After a while, he nodded lightly: "Yes."
"Do you know each other?" Liu Liang said in surprise, "No, no, no, no, you are my princess, right?!"
Ying Tongchen glanced at him: "please let me go."
Liu Lion was forced back by his indifferent eyes, and took a few steps back to make way.
Jia Renyi looked at his back and whispered to Liu Liang, "What is Tongchen doing now?"
"He? He's too bad..." Liu Liang was heartbroken, thinking that his "goddess" back then had been reduced to such a level that he was still robbing men from him, as if he was stuck in his throat, and he didn't know what to do. .
"What's wrong?" Jia Renyi seemed to have found someone with the same illness and pity, and saw that he was even more handsome. Time not only did not polish him to dust, but instead sparkled, he felt a little regretful for a while. If he didn't bet with his classmates back then, but was really with him, shouldn't Ying Tongchen be his object now
"Tongchen, I have something to tell you." Jia Renyi stepped forward, and just as he was about to pull his arm, the other party turned around and avoided him lightly.
Ying Tongchen's eyes turned cold: "I have something to say."
Jia Renyi withdrew his hand in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "Don't you still blame me for what happened back then?"
Ying Tongchen sneered: "I don't even recognize you, how can I still have the energy to blame anyone?"
Jia Renyi's smile froze: "I was young at that time, I just made a bet with my classmates, but I really liked you a little at that time, but I just didn't dare to admit it."
Ying Tongchen said indifferently, "I'll leave if it's nothing."
"Wait!" Jia Renyi chased after him again, "Actually, I went to you after I dropped out and wanted to apologize to you, but unfortunately I didn't see you at school. How have you been all these years? Have you found a partner? ?"
Ying Tongchen listened to his gentle tone and hooked the corners of his mouth: "Why, you want to repeat the same trick again?"
Jia Renyi said embarrassingly, "No."
"Who gave you the confidence to appear in front of me?"
Ying Tongchen was surprisingly calm, and he had been fantasizing about this scene before. If this bastard appeared in front of him, what should he do to make this person completely regret what he did back then. However, when they met for real, they felt that it was meaningless. Life had already beaten this person hard, and it would be difficult to let go if they were entangled in the past.
"I know you may still hate me, but I..."
"Do you know who the person who anonymously reported your father was?" Ying Tongchen asked suddenly.
Jia Renyi was taken aback: "You know?"
Ying Tongchen said, "It's me."
Jia Renyi immediately flushed with anger, his fingers were trembling: "So it's you!"
Seeing that he was about to start, Liu Liang quickly stopped him: "Senior, why are you here? Didn't you ask me to introduce a job! You want to start here, I'll see how you can find a job."
Jia Renyi's chest was about to explode with anger, but he had to put away his anger and looked at Ying Tongchen warningly: "You wait for me!"
Ying Tongchen turned around and told the security guard that he wanted to see Zhuo Shu, but when Jia Renyi saw that he had also closed the door, he laughed smugly, and said viciously, "You're just like that."
After he finished speaking, he kicked him. Unfortunately, Liu Lion stopped him in the middle and kicked on the bag he was carrying. Two big red apples rolled out, and there were sticky notes on them. A simple smiley face.
"What's this?" Jia Renyi laughed, "How dare you play this kind of kid trick?"
After speaking, there was no response from the other party. He looked up and saw Ying Tongchen staring at the two apples with his eyes down, motionless, as if something was brewing.
After a while, Ying Tongchen took off his glasses, clenched his fists, stepped forward to face the other person's face, smashed it hard, then grabbed his collar, put his knees up, and put his elbows on his back. Hit hard.
Jia Renyi was beaten unexpectedly, only to feel that his internal organs were about to shift, and when the other party gently let go, he fell to the ground, clutching his stomach and coughing again and again.
Ying Tongchen picked up the apple on the ground and wiped it without looking at him.
"Fuck." Jia Renyi couldn't bear the humiliation, so he got up with difficulty. As soon as he raised his hand, his wrist was firmly written, "Let me go! Don't meddle in your business."
"Who allowed you to be presumptuous here?" The man's voice was low, with an irresistible meaning.
Liu Liang immediately shouted: "Mr. Zhuo."
Jia Renyi immediately released his hand, turned his head and glanced at the man, seeing that he was tall, with deep facial features, very different from the boss he imagined, and immediately put on a smile: "So you are Mr. Zhuo, it's a pleasure to meet you, I am today I came here specially to find you."
Who knew that the other party didn't listen to him at all, but went straight to Ying Tongchen's side, his voice suddenly softened: "What happened?"
"It's fine." Ying Tongchen sighed, "The apples are all dirty."
"It's over if you don't wash it." Zhuo Shu took it and turned to look at the outsider, "What are you doing here?"
Liu Liong said: "This is my senior, he wants to find a job..."
"No, go out." Zhuo Shu instructed the security guard next to him, "These two are making trouble, don't let them in in the future."
Jia Renyi refused to accept: "Then why should Ying Tongchen do it?"
"Are you an idiot?" Zhuo Shu frowned, "Ying Zong is both my partner and my boyfriend. If he won't let him in, should he still let you in?"
"Mr. Ying? Boyfriend?" Jia Renyi looked at Liu Liang in disbelief, and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say he was a bad guy?"
Liu Liang couldn't understand it either: "Didn't you keep him?"
Ying Tongchen looked at Zhuo Shu as if he were watching a good show: "Oh, yes, it turns out that I was under the care of President Zhuo. I forgot to mention it."
"Don't have the same knowledge as them." Zhuo Shu reassured him with a guilty conscience, and then explained to them with a bluff, "What kind of person do I not care for? Am I that kind of person? I am serious and earnestly pursuing Mr. Ying. yes, right?"
Ying Tongchen smiled a few times: "Really?"
"Of course it is! Let's go, let's go up first." Zhuo Shu took his hand and said to the security guard, "If this guy comes over in the future, let him go directly, understand?"
Security: "Understood."
"Also, see off." Zhuo Shu raised the apple in his hand and smiled sideways, "Don't say a word when you come, just come in later."
"Aren't you afraid that I will check the post?" Ying Tongchen was in a better mood.
"I'm afraid you won't check."
Jia Renyi watched them leave side by side with a pale face, talking and laughing, especially Ying Tongchen's curved eyebrows, which caused a deep sting.
It used to be an illusion, how could Ying Tongchen like him without even giving him a sincere smile.
Jia Renyi left in despair.
Liu Liang chased after him and scolded: "It's all your fault, if I hadn't helped you, how could I have been implicated."
Jia Renyi smiled desolately: "Are you here to help me, or are you looking for an excuse to come here?"
Liu Liang rolled his eyes, looked back at the door, and felt a lot more relaxed: "Alright, my princess is with the person I want to hook up with, then I don't have to worry about who I like. Eh, What are you going to do next?"
"Go home." Jia Renyi clenched his fists, "There are many routines in the city, so I'd better go back to the countryside. Cough, do me a favor and take me to the hospital, this kid is too hard."
"Go by yourself." Liu Liang ignored him.
After returning to the office, Zhuo Shucai asked, "Who was that you beat up just now?"
"You don't know?" Ying Tongchen glanced at him in surprise, "You are the one on the left and the other on the right. I thought you heard it."
"I'm just supporting you, not to mention that you are the general manager, and you still have to have a lineup." Zhuo Shu said, "I saw you hitting people right away, and I have to say that those tricks are really good. Handsome, I hope you don't come to deal with me."
"You can't use a bull's knife to kill a chicken." Ying Tongchen reached out and pinched his ear.
Zhuo Shu subconsciously begged for mercy: "Don't."
Then the other party did not exert any force, but squeezed lightly, and then turned his head and kissed his lips.
The glass window reflected the picture of the two kissing.
After a long time, Ying Tongchen said, "That person is the one who confessed to me back then."
"What?!" Zhuo Shu was very angry, "Let go of me, I'll kill him here."
"Don't go, come back and eat apples." Ying Tongchen found a fruit knife from the lounge.
"How can that be done?" Zhuo Shu was about to go out.
Ying Tongchen stopped in front of him, Zhuo Shu pushed it, and the apple in his hand rolled to the ground.
"..."
Zhuo Shu's heart was stunned, and the scene he saw just now appeared in his mind. That person dropped the apple in Ying Tongchen's hand on the ground, which caused the tragedy...
That fluent move, the crisp and melodious beating sound...
Zhuo Shu looked up at the knife in Ying Tongchen's hand and swallowed.
With a thud, he knelt on the sofa.
"If you don't go, you won't go, you should always say what you want."
