Tang Zhi's face immediately heated up. Looking at Xu Sheng's half-smiling eyes, he felt that this person had a very problematic mind. He even laughed at Xi Manxiang's nickname for him. He asked Xu Sheng in anger, "Isn't it funny?" ?”
"It's not funny," Xu Sheng smiled again and denied Tang Zhi perfunctorily, "I didn't laugh."
He took a step forward, walked into Tang Zhi's room, and closed the door with his hands behind his back as if by the way.
The door blocked out the sound of Tang Zhi's mother washing vegetables in the kitchen, which seemed to make the already small room even smaller.
"Long time no see." Xu Sheng looked at Tang Zhi and said casually.
He did not approach Tang Zhi, but looked around Tang Zhi's room, and then at Tang Zhi's bed.
Tang Zhi looked sideways and saw that his pajamas were still on the bed.
"New pajamas." Xu Sheng said suddenly.
Tang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and his face seemed to get a little hotter. He hoped that Xu Sheng would not say anything that would make people think of him, but he also felt that it was not enough to stop him.
So Tang Zhi looked at Xu Sheng, looked at him, opened his mouth, and forcibly changed the topic: "Why did she run away?"
"Is it not getting better after being treated for so long?" Tang Zhi asked him.
Xu Sheng looked at Tang Zhi, and after a while, he said: "The report given to me by the hospital said that she has improved. But I was too busy during this period and didn't go to the hospital to see her much."
Tang Zhi said "hmm" and didn't know what to say next.
In fact, if he had to ask, Tang Zhi could still think of some questions.
For example, I read the news in the newspaper in the morning, or asked Xu Sheng if he was engaged, but they were not very suitable, so they were screened out by Tang Zhi.
"The divorce agreement between you and her has been drafted by the lawyer," Xu Sheng spoke before Tang Zhi. "I didn't bring it because your mother was at home. You can come out sometime and get it for you to sign."
Tang Zhi said "Okay" and asked him again: "Should I contact Jiang Yan?"
Xu Sheng looked at him for a while and said, "Contact me."
After saying that, Xu Sheng looked around Tang Zhi's room again, as if he was looking for something, but probably couldn't find it, so he asked Tang Zhi "Do you have a hanger?" Then he unbuttoned his suit, took off his coat, and put it between his elbows.
The hanger for hanging clothes is at the door, but there is no one in the soup kitchen.
Tang Zhi felt that he had finished what he couldn't let Xi Manxiang hear, so he walked towards Xu Sheng and told her, "It's outside. I'll hang it up for you." He reached out to take the coat in his hand.
But for some reason, Xu Sheng turned sideways and avoided Tang Zhi's hand.
Tang Zhi looked up at him and realized that he was too close, so close that he could almost feel the heat of Xu Sheng's body on his fingertips. Tang Zhi lowered his eyes and saw Xu Sheng moved, and the buttons of his white shirt dangled in front of him.
"No need," Xu Sheng lowered his head and said to Tang Zhi, "I'll go by myself."
His voice touched Tang Zhi's ear, making Tang Zhi feel nervous.
After a while, Tang Zhi saw Xu Sheng's hand raised. A few seconds later, his hand lightly touched the top of Tang Zhi's head, and then slid down to his cheek.
Xu Sheng's hands were warm. He rubbed Tangzhi's skin with his thumb, using very little force, as if an unwritten rule had been temporarily promulgated: as long as the force was light enough, such an action would not be considered out of bounds.
Tang Zhi accepted this stipulation, acquiesced to Xu Sheng's touch, and stood obediently without resisting.
"Tang Zhi," Tang Zhi heard Xu Sheng's voice, coming from a place closer than before, "have you never thought about me at all?"
He smelled the warm scent of incense on Xu Sheng's body, getting closer and closer to him.
Tang Zhi missed Xu Sheng's intimate and moist kiss with him, but he didn't have the courage. He raised his hand to hug Xu Sheng lightly, just like Xu Sheng touched him lightly, but his hand only reached mid-air. , and was intercepted by Xu Sheng.
"You don't like touching you either," Xu Sheng loosely held his wrist and said in a self-deprecating tone, "Really?"
Even though he said that, Xu Sheng still hugged Tang Zhi into his arms, resting his chin on Tang Zhi's forehead, and hugged him tighter and tighter.
At this time, Tang Zhi heard the sound of Xi Manxiang's slippers, and Xu Sheng probably heard it too. He let go of Tang Zhi's hand and took a step back slightly.
Xi Manxiang didn't come in or knock on the door. He probably just took something in the living room and left.
Xu Sheng looked at Tang Zhi and suddenly smiled. Just as he was about to say something, Tang Zhi's cell phone on the bed rang.
Tang Zhi looked back and walked over to pick it up. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Don't answer it yet." Xu Sheng also followed, held down Tang Zhi's hand, and made a call on his mobile phone.
He reported the caller's number to Tang Zhi. After hanging up, he said to Tang Zhi: "Turn on speakerphone."
Tang Zhi glanced at him, picked up the phone, and pressed the speakerphone. After two seconds, Xu Keyu's voice came out: "Husband—"
Before she finished speaking, Xu Sheng quickly took away the mobile phone from Tang Zhi's hand, canceled the hands-free, and said to Xu Keyu: "Keyu, it's me."
Tang Zhi couldn't hear the specific content of Xu Keyu's words, but from the noisy voice on the other side, he could feel that she was very excited.
Xu Sheng listened silently for a while and said to her, "Tang Zhi is busy now."
After a few seconds, Xu Sheng said: "At work, in a meeting."
"You should be considerate to him, don't you want to be a good wife?" He didn't look at Tang Zhi when he spoke, and used a serious tone to deceive Xu Keyu.
Tang Zhi thought it was funny that Xu Sheng was deceiving people like this. After listening to it for a few times, Xu Sheng's phone vibrated.
Xu Sheng picked it up, took a look at it, and said to Xu Keyu: "Let's do this for now. I'll ask him to call you after he finishes the meeting."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Sheng returned Tang Zhi's cell phone to him and told him: "It's settled."
Tang Zhi took it, smiled at him, and asked him, "Then shall I dismiss the meeting?"
Xu Sheng looked at Tang Zhi without smiling. He slowly raised his hand and touched the top of Tang Zhi's head. Then he took his hand back and said, "Go outside."
Before Tang Zhi had time to identify the rising emotions one by one, Xu Sheng turned around first, opened his door and walked out.
Xi Manxiang is cooking.
Tang Zhi smelled the smell of green peppers that Xu Sheng didn't like, so he asked Xu Sheng to sit on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV and poured him tea. He walked to the kitchen to see if there was anyone who could help, and found that his mother had also stewed Xu Sheng in the same way. I don’t like radish pork ribs soup.
He opened the lid of the stew pot, took a look, and saw a lot of radishes.
"What are you doing in here?" Xi Manxiang turned around to see him and kicked him out. "Go out to accompany the guests."
Tang Zhi had no choice but to walk out and sit on the single sofa next to Xu Sheng.
Xi Manxiang called for dinner. Tang Zhi led Xu Sheng over and found that she had already filled a bowl of soup for each person and placed it on the table.
Xu Sheng sat down calmly and not only drank the soup made by Tang Zhi's mother, but also praised her for how delicious it was. Xi Manxiang was encouraged and said, "There's still a lot of soup left." She picked up the few soup pots left and walked into the kitchen to add soup.
Tang Zhi glanced at Xu Sheng and thought of all the picky words he heard from Xu Sheng when he was cooking, and asked him angrily: "Don't you not eat radishes?"
"I don't like to eat," Xu Sheng answered him calmly, "It's not that I can't eat it."
After eating, Xu Sheng went to the balcony to answer a phone call and then said goodbye to Xi Manxiang and Tang Zhi.
Xi Manxiang warmly invited Xu Sheng to come often when he was free, and asked Tang Zhi to escort Xu Sheng down. Tang Zhi changed his shoes and took Xu Sheng towards the elevator.
When they walked into the elevator, they were quite far apart. Xu Sheng stood at the back and Tang Zhi stood by the buttons.
Tang Zhi asked Xu Sheng: "Have you found her?"
"Found it." Xu Sheng said to him.
"Auntie asked me to come here often when I have time," Xu Sheng suddenly said to Tang Zhi, "Can you come?"
Tang Zhi looked at Xu Sheng and felt that Xu Sheng had been in a strange mood this morning. He saw himself reflected in the mirror behind Xu Sheng. He looked pale, cowed, and at a loss. There was nothing for others to see. A place to feel happy.
"You're looking at yourself." Xu Sheng noticed Tang Zhi's eyes and said to him.
Then he turned around and looked at Tang Zhi in the mirror.
He suddenly approached Tang Zhi, trapping Tang Zhi in the corner of the elevator wall and door, next to the floor key. He looked down at Tang Zhi and raised his hand.
"Tang Zhi," he didn't touch Tang Zhi, but just pressed the button on the first floor, "Tell me, are you stupid?"
Tang Zhi then realized that he had forgotten to press the elevator button.
The elevator went down quickly, from the twenty-ninth floor to the first floor, as if it only took a moment.
Xu Sheng walked out of the elevator and asked Tang Zhi not to send him out any more.
"Don't worry," he said without looking into Tang Zhi's eyes, "I'm very busy and won't come again."
