Xu Sheng stopped the car slowly but got off the car very quickly.
Tang Zhi was still stuck on what Xu Sheng said about "there is no wedding room" and did not react. Xu Sheng had already walked around the front of the car and opened the door for him.
"What are you doing standing still?" Xu Sheng asked Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi looked at Xu Sheng, blinked slowly and said nothing.
Xu Sheng looked at him and was also stunned. Maybe he thought Tang Zhi was moving very slowly, so he cleared his throat, looked away, and leaned over to help Tang Zhi unbuckle his seat belt.
The heat coming from Xu Sheng's body was like a soft cushion pressing on Tang Zhi's upper body, giving Tang Zhi a suffocating feeling that was like an hallucination.
Tang Zhi looked at Xu Sheng's side face close at hand, heard the soft click of the seat belt button, and then watched him move away.
"Let's go." Xu Sheng said to Tang Zhi without looking at him.
Tang Zhi got out of the car and followed Xu Sheng.
The housekeeper stood at the door, the same as he had more than two months ago, but when Tang Zhi walked in, he found that the room had changed a lot.
Things were put away and the living room became empty.
Several paintings from the entrance and living room, vases and flower stands, the clock near the fireplace, and the artist's reliefs on the walls were all taken away.
Several workers were standing next to the sofa packing things, wrapping fragile items in layers and putting them into wooden boxes.
When the workers saw Xu Sheng coming in, they greeted him respectfully. One of them, probably the leader, told Xu Sheng: "Mr. Xu, the goods can be packed and shipped downstairs this afternoon."
Xu Sheng nodded to him and said nothing.
Tang Zhi glanced at the scenery outside the French window. The lake scenery was almost the same as before he left.
Dark lake water, gray-green mountains, gloomy sky.
The ripples blown by the wind are all dim, just like the mountain that Tang Zhi doesn't like, and the house that Tang Zhi doesn't like, which is dark, blurry and lifeless.
"Tang Zhi."
Xu Sheng may have noticed that he stopped where he was, looked back at him, and called his name.
Tang Zhi withdrew his eyes and quickened his pace to follow Xu Sheng.
"Mr. Xu." Tang Zhi called him.
Xu Sheng walked a little slower, turned his head to look at Tang Zhi, and said, "Yeah."
Tang Zhi asked: "Where is your house in the city?"
Xu Sheng stood side by side with him and touched Tang Zhi lightly with his arm. Tang Zhi kept looking at Xu Sheng and felt that Xu Sheng was about to say to him again, "None of your business" or "Why do you ask?", so he added One sentence: "Just tell me."
Xu Sheng glanced at Tang Zhi, walked a few more steps, and said a place name.
It's not far from Tang Zhi's community, but Tang Zhi won't stay in Bingang for too long, because neither he nor his mother likes it here.
Next week Tang Zhi will take his mother to Xicheng for sightseeing. If she likes it there and everything goes well, Tang Zhi will move before the end of the year.
So Tang Zhi didn't comment on the address of Xu Sheng's new residence and walked up the stairs with Xu Sheng.
Tang Zhi noticed that the photos on the stairs had also been taken away. He looked at the small nails left on the wall and remembered one of the single photos of Xu Sheng in uniform.
He began to wonder what Xu Sheng was like when he was in school.
Is he mild-tempered or bad-tempered, easy to get along with or cold-hearted
Tang Zhi was thinking wildly, and when he looked up, he realized that he was falling behind Xu Sheng again.
He raised his face slightly and looked at Xu Sheng's shoulders and the way Xu Sheng was walking forward without looking back. He couldn't help but call Xu Sheng again: "Mr. Xu."
When Xu Sheng stopped and looked at him again, Tang Zhi didn't want to ask anymore. He jogged a few steps to Xu Sheng's side, then smiled at Xu Sheng and said, "You walk so fast."
Xu Sheng looked down at him, paused for a few seconds, obviously slowed down, and walked forward side by side with him.
Everything in the glass cabinets along the corridor had been removed, leaving the path to the study empty.
Xu Sheng walked into the study, went to the desk, opened the drawer, took out a transparent document bag, took the agreement out of the bag, took a pen, and handed it to Tang Zhi.
Tang Zhi took it, turned it over a few times, put it on the table, raised his head and asked Xu Sheng, "Where do you sign?"
"Here," Xu Sheng opened one of the agreements in a low voice and pointed to the signature at the end, "You have to sign several copies."
Tang Zhi leaned over, leaning his elbows on the table, and signed one by one where Xu Sheng pointed.
After signing all the agreement documents, Tang Zhi capped his pen, put the pen on the table, straightened up, and looked up at Xu Sheng: "Okay."
Seeing Xu Sheng put away the documents and put them back in the document bag, Tang Zhi asked him smoothly: "Why don't you check it?"
"No need, I was watching when you were signing," Xu Sheng looked at him and suddenly smiled at him in a subtle way, "Don't you want to study law? Why do you sign wherever you are asked?"
Tang Zhi was stunned and wanted to pull the document bag from Xu Sheng's hand, but Xu Sheng raised his hand slightly and Tang Zhi didn't even touch the edge of the document bag.
"What's wrong?" Xu Sheng asked him, opening the drawer and putting the document bag back.
"... Let me take a closer look." Tang Zhi walked around the table and tried to pull Xu Sheng's drawer, but Xu Sheng grabbed his wrist.
Xu Sheng's strength was a bit too strong, and Tang Zhi's shoulder pressed against Xu Sheng's chest, trapping him between Xu Sheng and the desk.
"No need to read it," Xu Sheng whispered to him, "There is no problem with the agreement."
"I scared you." Xu Sheng said.
He did not let go of Tang Zhi. Tang Zhi raised his eyes and found Xu Sheng looking at him calmly.
Tang Zhi raised his head a little more and could kiss Xu Sheng, but Xu Sheng probably had no intention of kissing Tang Zhi. He said to Tang Zhi calmly: "Next time you sign a contract, take a look."
Tang Zhi said "Okay", Xu Sheng looked at his watch again and said to Tang Zhi: "It's five o'clock, stay for dinner."
His palms were very hot, which did not match the tone of his voice.
Tang Zhi felt a little confused. Looking at Xu Sheng's angular jaw, he finally blurted out the words he had been holding back for a long time but had not asked in the corridor: "Mr. Xu."
"You just said you didn't have a wedding room," Tang Zhi asked him, "What do you mean?"
"Are you still choosing?" Tang Zhi stared at Xu Sheng's lower lip and said.
The corners of Xu Sheng's lips were very flat, and Tang Zhi couldn't help but think of Xu Sheng's bad temper.
In fact, Tang Zhi knew that every question he asked was inappropriate and did not get to the point. He felt like a man with empty hands, no password and no key, and racking his brains to peek into the safe in front of him. What are you wearing
He wanted to know if there was anything he wanted in the safe. Even if he knew it, he still couldn't get it.
Xu Sheng was silent, and Tang Zhi waited for a while. As Tang Zhi expected, Xu Sheng did not answer directly, but said, "Why do you ask this?"
Tang Zhi didn't feel disappointed. He looked down at Xu Sheng's hand holding his wrist and said softly, "No, I just asked."
After a while, Xu Sheng let go of him, stepped back a little, looked at him expressionlessly, and whispered: "You can ask whatever you want, am I obligated to answer you?"
"Asking me when and where to move, and how the wedding room is like, you are so curious." He suddenly turned to Tang Zhi and twitched the corner of his lips, "Why didn't you tell me what you were doing at home in the afternoon."
Tang Zhi was stunned for a moment, and Xu Sheng suddenly approached him again and said, "Tang Zhi."
Before Tang Zhi could react, Xu Sheng trapped him firmly in front of the table and asked expressionlessly: "Don't you like going to bed? What are you doing at home alone in the afternoon?"
Tang Zhi's lower back was pressed against the edge of the table, and it hurt from Xu Sheng's pressure.
He was also a little scared because Xu Sheng put his arm around his waist, pulled out the hem of his shirt, silently touched his back and spine, then moved to the front and unbuttoned Tang Zhi's pants.
"Xu Sheng, don't—" Tang Zhi was frightened by the force with which Xu Sheng touched him. He wanted to ask Xu Sheng to stop, but after only half a sentence, Xu Sheng raised his left hand and covered his mouth.
"How can a person breathe like that?" Xu Sheng asked next to him.
Tang Zhi's waist was pushed back continuously by Xu Sheng, and finally he fell down.
His elbow subconsciously rested on the table, but it happened to hit Xu Sheng's pen. Tang Zhi whimpered in pain, and tears immediately came to his eyes.
Xu Sheng loosened his hand and took it away. Tang Zhi was able to open his mouth and breathe. He called Xu Sheng's name, but Xu Sheng ignored him and pulled down Tang Zhi's zipper with his right hand.
The cold air caressed Tang Zhi's lower abdomen.
Tang Zhi's elbow slid down weakly and he lay flat on Xu Sheng's desk. His shoulder hit a document on Xu Sheng's desk, and Xu Sheng's hand touched his hip bone.
The room was cold and Xu Sheng's hands were very hot.
Tang Zhi closed his eyes. The pain in his elbow almost reached the nerves in his brain. He reached out and grabbed the back of Xu Sheng's hand, and hit Xu Sheng's arm hard. Tears of pain fell from his tightly closed eyes. Bleeding from eyes.
Xu Sheng seemed to be stiff and stopped touching him.
Tang Zhi lay down for a few seconds, then sat up and looked at Xu Sheng face to face with tears in his eyes.
He couldn't see Xu Sheng's expression clearly, he only knew that Xu Sheng was very close to him.
"What do I have to do with you alone? Are you sick?" Tang Zhi couldn't help crying and scolding him, "You don't like me asking, why don't you stop asking? I won't ask anything in the future." no?"
"You said you don't have a wedding room, why can't I continue to ask?" Tang Zhi couldn't stop crying. He just wanted to vent his pain to Xu Sheng repeatedly, "Can you finish your sentence?"
Perhaps it was because Tang Zhi cried too much that Xu Sheng let him go without saying a word of rebuttal.
Tang Zhi raised his hand to cover his face and felt the tears on his hand. He closed his eyes and his voice gradually became lower.
"Why are you so ambiguous to me if you want to marry someone else?" He choked, unable to see Xu Sheng or hear Xu Sheng's voice, deceiving himself that Xu Sheng would not understand his absurd and unbearable things. Extravagant hope.
He hoped that Xu Sheng would never know that he was such a self-aware person.
Because Xu Sheng had emphasized this to him many times a long time ago.
Tang Zhi, you'd better not forget what I said to you.
I don't like the ones that are posted, and I don't like the ones that are too cheap.
After Tang Zhi cried for a long time, Xu Sheng hugged him.
Perhaps out of sympathy, he gave Tang Zhi a warm and tight hug and kissed Tang Zhi's forehead.
Then Xu Sheng said to Tang Zhi very gently, "No, Tang Zhi," and said in a tone as gentle as a deception: "Tang Zhi, I don't want to get married."
