Mr. Xu has to go on an urgent errand. That's what Jiang Yan said.
After coming out of the resort, Jiang Yan accompanied Tang Zhi to the hospital.
It's time to remove the stitches from the wound on Tang Zhi's hand.
A few days ago, Xu Sheng said that he would accompany Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi stared at the doctor's hands and the medical scissors stuck on the surgical sutures. He thought of Xu Sheng who would forcefully cover his eyes to lie that he hadn't started stitching yet, and he closed his eyes involuntarily.
He felt the sutures break, and the threads were slowly pulled out of the healed part of the skin. Finally, the doctor turned off the light that illuminated the wound, and Tang Zhi opened his eyes.
Removing the sutures is easy, takes only a few minutes, and is painless.
After Tang Zhi and Jiang Yan left the hospital, on their way back to Xu Sheng's home, Tang Zhi actually wanted to send Xu Sheng a text message saying that he had removed the sutures, but before sending it, Xu Sheng called Jiang Yan first.
There was no information in what Jiang Yan said, only "Okay" and "I know". After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yan told Tang Zhi that he had to get off the car and go home to pack his things.
Xu Sheng has something urgent and needs to go on a business trip. Mrs. Xu may not be able to come back in time to attend.
"So," Tang Zhi asked tentatively, "I don't have to go, right?"
Jiang Yan leaned back slightly, turned his face sideways, and told Tang Zhi, "Mr. Xu didn't say anything, so it shouldn't be necessary."
Tang Zhi didn't ask any more questions.
Xu Sheng may go to accompany Zhao Shao, or return to Dunshi. Tang Zhi thought.
After a while, he thought again that he was a hypocritical bitch.
It seems that he is half-hearted, but in fact he is willing to go to bed with Xu Sheng many times.
On the one hand, he knew Xu Sheng would get married and pretended to be open-minded towards Jiang Yan, but on the other hand, he kept sneaking around to steal warmth from Xu Sheng.
This cannot go on. Tang Zhi wavered in his decision.
Jiang Yan asked the driver to stop on the side of the road and got out of the car.
The driver continued to drive forward, and Jiang Yan stood outside the car and waved to Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi also waved to him. After a few seconds, Tang Zhi couldn't help but turn around and saw Jiang Yan hurriedly got a taxi and got in.
Tang Zhi sat back, looked down at the wound where the stitches had been removed, and then touched it with his left hand.
There was a dull pain in the wound, and the pain was so real that it seemed like it would last a lifetime.
So he immediately took his left hand back.
The car passed an avenue filled with real estate agencies.
Tang Zhi looked at the advertisements passing by outside the window and suddenly thought of something.
His mother has a court hearing next week. If he is released successfully, he will have to find a place for his mother to live. He will also move out by then.
He immediately decided to rent a room temporarily and asked the driver to stop the car again. He told the driver that he had something to do and would go back by himself in the evening. Then he got out of the car and entered a larger real estate agency on the road.
There are many customers and receptions in the agency.
The person who received Tang Zhi was named Zhang Ziming. He was seven or eight years older than Tang Zhi. He looked very stable and reliable. He held a tablet in his hand and led Tang Zhi to sit on the sofa by the window.
Tang Zhi had several general ideas about the house in his mind, and he put them forward directly. Zhang Ziming was very sensible and immediately found some photos of the houses that he thought were suitable and showed them to Tang Zhi.
He grasped the customer's requirements accurately. Tang Zhi looked at all the rooms and felt that every room was good. After thinking for a long time, he picked out two rooms.
"It's better to choose a different day than to hit it," Zhang Ziming suggested. "Anyway, I'm free and I have the keys to the house. How about taking you to see it now?"
"Okay," Tang Zhi said, "but I don't have a car."
"I have it," Zhang Ziming smiled at him and said, "I'll drive it."
The two suites are not large in size, but the layout is very reasonable and the real estate is not bad. They are located in the center of the two districts, making it convenient for everything.
Zhang Ziming's real estate agency was very close to the first house, but after Tang Zhi walked in, he felt that the decoration was a bit old and he was not particularly satisfied.
It doesn't matter if he lives by himself, but he doesn't want his mother to live in an old house as soon as she is released from prison, even if it is rented.
Perhaps seeing his hesitant expression, Zhang Ziming smoothed things over and said, "This house has been rented out several times, so it's inevitable that you won't be satisfied."
"But the other one we looked at was different," he added. "The owner of the house had specially renovated it for rent and is still waiting for the first tenant. Why don't we go see that one again? You might like it better. "
Tang Zhiyuan was willing, but there was a district between the second house and the first house, which was a bit far away. It was getting late now. He asked Zhang Ziming: "When will you get off work?"
"Don't worry about me," Zhang Ziming said, "Actually, I happen to live in that community, so it's a good idea to take you there."
Tang Zhi agreed.
They went downstairs and drove to the adjacent area. When they passed the Haibin Avenue and were about to enter the tunnel, Zhang Ziming suddenly slowed down.
"Strange..." He looked at the rearview mirror and frowned, "The car behind us has been following us for a long time. If I am fast, it will be fast, and if I am slow, it will be slow."
Tang Zhi looked back and saw that it was a black sports car that he had never seen before. He didn't make any comments.
"I tried to get rid of it," Zhang Ziming said, "I haven't offended anyone recently."
He turned a corner and walked up the ramp, suddenly accelerating, and the car accelerated with them.
Zhang Ziming wanted to rush through a yellow light and get rid of the car, but he didn't expect it to be too late, so he had to brake suddenly and stop behind the white line.
The black car also slowly drove to Zhang Ziming's side lane.
Zhang Ziming was well-mannered, but he didn't curse. He just pressed the car window and wanted to communicate with the other person.
Tang Zhi also curiously stuck his head out to see the car. The windows of the sports car are privacy-proof, so you can't see what's going on inside.
What's even more strange is that the other party has no intention of communicating with Zhang Ziming. No matter what gestures Zhang Ziming makes, he doesn't seem to see him.
Not long after, the red light turned green, and Zhang Ziming had no choice but to give up and turn around to find the tunnel entrance again.
After entering the tunnel, he drove a long dark path and reached the ground. Zhang Ziming drove for a while and suddenly muttered: "Why is it missing..."
Tang Zhi looked back for a long time, but he really couldn't find the car.
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Zhang Ziming said doubtfully.
After turning two blocks, they drove into the underground garage of the new building.
Tang Zhi followed Zhang Ziming and watched him swipe his card and go straight to the 29th floor.
After the elevator stopped smoothly, Tang Zhi and Zhang Ziming walked to the door, opened the door, and saw the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room overlooking most of the harbor.
The sea level in the distance and the scattered buildings are all within sight.
The owner of the house decorated it very simply. A ten-minute walk from the property will take you to a comprehensive shopping mall, which also has an organic supermarket. Tang Zhi was very satisfied with everything and immediately signed a contract with Zhang Ziming.
After signing the contract, Tang Zhi wanted to buy some daily necessities. Zhang Ziming took him to the mall and said he also wanted to buy something, so the two of them went shopping together. Tang Zhi also bought a lot of clothes for his mother.
Back in the room, Tang Zhi inspected the place where he and his mother temporarily lived. He felt a little happy, but he didn't have much sense of belonging.
After all, he wants to take his mother away from here in the future.
Even so, Tang Zhi still took out the newly bought cleaning tools and cleaned the originally clean house. He was busy until the evening, took a shower in the room, wiped his hair and came out, he found that it was already dark outside.
Xu Sheng was on a business trip and there was no one at home. Tang Zhi also bought clothes and put them away. There was everything here. Tang Zhi wanted to be lazy and didn't want to go back to Xu's house.
While hesitating whether to send a message to Xu Sheng, Tang Zhi received a message from Xu Sheng.
Xu Sheng asked him: "Where is it?"
Tang Zhi thought for a while and replied: "Is it convenient to answer the phone?"
Half a minute later, Xu Sheng called.
"Where are you?" Xu Sheng asked him.
"I rented a room," Tang Zhi told him honestly, "because I was thinking that if my mother comes out next week, I can live here."
"Really," Xu Sheng whispered. His tone was indescribably strange, as if he was tired and had some aggression hidden inside. He said, "I started preparing so early."
"Well," Tang Zhi sat down and said to Xu Sheng, "didn't you say it's very promising?"
Xu Sheng didn't answer for a long time, so Tang Zhi said hesitantly: "I've been cleaning all afternoon. I'm so tired. I want to sleep here."
Xu Sheng became quiet.
Tang Zhi waited for a while before Xu Sheng asked him in an almost mocking tone: "You just rented it and moved in?"
Tang Zhi didn't know how to respond, so he paused, grabbed the phone tightly, and then heard Xu Sheng ask him: "Is there someone else around you?"
Xu Sheng's question was even stranger than his tone. Tang Zhi was a little confused and hesitantly said, "No?"
He always felt that Xu Sheng seemed a little angry, so he softened his voice and asked Xu Sheng, "What's wrong with you? Have you arrived at the place where you went on a business trip?"
"Are you really alone?" Xu Sheng avoided Tang Zhi's question again and asked again.
Tang Zhi was even more confused. After a short pause, he asked: "Otherwise? Who else?"
Xu Sheng was quiet for a moment and said to him: "Send me your address."
"I'll leave tomorrow morning instead," Xu Sheng said, "come and have a look."
Tang Zhi gave Xu Sheng the address. Half an hour later, when Tang Zhi was about to fall asleep on the sofa, the video phone at the door rang.
Tang Zhi stood up lazily, walked over, opened the door for Xu Sheng, and stood waiting for a while before Xu Sheng rang his doorbell.
Xu Sheng personally carried a travel bag and was wearing a suit he wore during the day. He had a chill on his body and his face didn't look very good.
Tang Zhi didn't know why he was in a bad mood, but he didn't dare to offend him. He wanted to take his duffel bag, but Xu Sheng blocked him somewhat roughly and threw the duffel bag on the ground in the entrance hall.
"..." Tang Zhi looked up at him and asked him, "Why are you unhappy?"
Xu Sheng glanced at him with lowered eyes and said coldly: "Won't you show me around?"
"Oh. Okay." Tang Zhi turned around and introduced his newly rented house to Xu Sheng.
The house has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, an open kitchen, and a small dining bar. Although it is small, it is fully equipped.
After Xu Sheng finished the tour, he didn't throw any cold water on it. He just said, "Which room are you sleeping in?"
They stood in the aisle between the two bedrooms. Tang Zhi opened the door of the bedroom where he was going to live and showed Xu Sheng: "Here."
"There are no lights inside?" Xu Sheng asked him, "It's so dark."
"Yes." Tang Zhi scolded Xu Sheng for his lack of common sense. He turned on the light to show him and walked in. Just when he was about to tell Xu Sheng that he had bought new sheets, Xu Sheng also walked in and closed the door behind his back. , and the lock was left unnecessarily.
Tang Zhi was stunned and watched Xu Sheng raise his hand to turn off the lights in the room.
Before his eyes could adjust to the darkness, Xu Sheng held his shoulders.
Xu Sheng pushed him without much mercy and pressed him into the bed behind him.
