Warm and lustrous

A bowl of smooth tomato and egg noodles relieved Pei Zeyang's hunger.

After eating, he took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on Jiang Run's single bed. It was completely dark, and he had no intention of leaving.

"Forehead……"

Jiang Runchu was on the edge of the desk, one hand was still dripping water after washing the dishes and hadn't had time to dry it.

"Sit down."

Pei Zeyang felt as comfortable as staying in his own home, pointing to the stool in front of him.

"Oh."

Jiang Run wiped his hands and sat down, Pei Zeyang planned to chat with him about digesting food.

I couldn't find a suitable topic for a while, so I asked, "What do you think of meeting Qian Xiwen today?"

"She..." Jiang Run thought for a while, "has potential."

Pei Zeyang snorted: "Just her..."

"You don't like her?"

"Of course I don't like her anymore, and I'm not a fairy!" Pei Zeyang said fiercely, "Why, do you think she's good?"

"As a colleague, I haven't found any shortcomings yet."

"Your answer is really official."

Pei Zeyang touched his pocket, but he didn't find the expected small square box. Thinking about it, it seemed to have fallen on the car.

Oh, forget it, don't smoke.

He didn't bother to tell Jiang Run that Qian Xiwen's father wanted him to be his son-in-law, but was he, Pei Zeyang, the kind of person who would cooperate easily?He watched Qian Xiwen grow up, she was a rich lady, conceited and clever, she was never his type.

It was only for the two of them to have time to spend together in his department. This kind of thing planned by the two old men... Only Pei Zeyang knew it was useless.

"You usually stay at home on vacation, don't you go out?"

"Not going out, oh, maybe going out to buy some food."

Pei Zeyang imagined Jiang Run carrying a basket and picking left and right: "It's really homely..."

Jiang Run didn't like his alone time with Pei Zeyang very much, he was... uncomfortable.I don't know where to put my hands.And in his humble home, he behaved even more unnaturally.

"Tell me, why didn't you answer my phone these days, do you know how many times I've called you?"

Pei Zeyang's cursing tone was not as turbulent as imagined, but Jiang Run was still guilty and said, "I didn't see it."

"Come on, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you're afraid that people will see you walking with me and say you're standing by me!"

He clearly knew, and...

Pei Zeyang went on to say: "I don't understand, just stand by, go out, in the business field, who can't have a reliable backer? Those people, I think highly of you because of jealousy..."

Jiang Run wanted to say, that's not the case.Some people, may have another idea...

"If you are capable, I will ask you to do something; if you are not capable, I will not even care about you, you know!"

What Pei Zeyang obviously wanted to say was "You are great", but for some reason, the words changed immediately after they filtered out of his mouth.

Probably smoked too much.

Jiang Run was dumb, neither accepted nor refuted.He is the kind of person who prefers to listen to others silently rather than expressing his own opinions.

The room fell silent, except for the breathing of the two of them one after the other.

When he was alone with Jiang Run, Pei Zeyang felt that he was very peaceful, especially on that night when Jiang Run was drunk, when he slept next to him, his mood was like the surface of the sea that was not blown by the wind, so clean that he could reflect people.

In fact, he already felt that something was wrong with him.Why something is wrong, there are various possibilities.

But it doesn't matter, he doesn't want to delve into how human emotions develop and change.These days, there is no essential difference between liking a man and liking a woman.

Besides, he didn't want to do anything to Jiang Run.It has nothing to do with lust|desire, just being friends like this is also very good.He is used to the people around him being obedient to him, and it is best to come and go as soon as they are called.

"Why don't you see you have buddies?"

"I'm more reserved."

"Being introverted doesn't mean you don't even have a confidant."

Pei Zeyang's sharp question pierced Jiang Run's bones.He knew that Jiang Run was not just an introvert, but too closed.Too closed, because too independent.

Jiang Run thought of his two years in the international elementary school, those older children gave him enough shadow.He resists men who don't know his roots, those people can't walk into his heart, let alone be friends with him.

"I'm fine now, rich in myself." Jiang Run smiled.

When Pei Zeyang saw Jiang Run smiling, he felt eight times better.

"Go to the European warehouse next week, will you come with me?" Pei Zeyang suggested.

"Me?" Jiang Run was quite surprised, "I've only been here for less than a year, so it's not appropriate to entrust this kind of business trip to me?"

"Who won't you give it to? Xiao He's wife is about to have a baby, and Xiao Yang and Xiao Jiang have too many things on hand. A business trip is not a light job, so why don't you let me take all the girls there?"

"Can……"

"But what's the matter, mother-in-law and mother-in-law are chattering, I just came, you give me your passport, and give it to the General Affairs Office tomorrow to let them book a plane ticket."

"..."

---------------

Recently, Jiang Run found that Pei Zeyang valued him more and more. He had to follow him to the bathroom and take him with him when eating. He seemed to be Pei Zeyang's secretary, the kind who was close to him.

There were five people accompanying him on the business trip this time, and Pei Zeyang only arranged for him the first-class cabin, and it was next to him by the window.

Jiang Run listened to the gossip and gossip of the people below, saying that Pei Zeyang raised tigers as a threat, which was considered pleasant.The ugly ones are simply unbearable.

He had heard it all, it was impossible for Pei Zeyang not to have heard of it.That person can pretend, and at the same time give him preferential treatment even more openly.Priority for receiving orders, priority for elevators, priority for public facilities, everything that can be given.Jiang Run's status in the office is soaring day by day, and recently he has the momentum to catch up with the deputy department and the supervisor.

Gradually, he had an ominous premonition.Pei Zeyang clearly had a purpose.There is an old saying that pigs are fattened before they are slaughtered, and there must be truth to that.

But what does Pei Zeyang want to do?

Do you want to do something bad again?

Jiang Run couldn't figure it out.

In his memory, Pei Zeyang was definitely not a good guy.At least there is no justice in the Three Views.No matter how much he changes now, the initial impression cannot be erased.

16 years ago, Jiang Run was seven years old and in the first grade.

When he was a child, he was good-looking, gentle, and quiet. If it wasn't for his short hair, everyone would have misunderstood him as a cute girl.Because of this, he was targeted by a group of senior rich kids.

The primary school and the junior high school of the international school are integrated, and there are only a handful of children like Jiang Run from the countryside.

Those rich kids with a sense of superiority are in their developmental stages, and they have a different kind of attachment to Jiang Run, a soft, tender and easy to bully little boy from the countryside.

After class, they would often block Jiang Run in the toilet, rub his face, flick his penis, and make fun of all kinds of things.Occasionally, when he was in a hurry, he would hollow out his already small pocket money.Jiang Run was threatened by the older child that if he filed a complaint, he would not be allowed to enter the school in the future. Obviously, this simple intimidation was very effective for the timid Jiang Run.Some of Jiang Run's classmates knew about it, but no one dared to report it.After all, it was nothing compared to fighting.

But for Jiang Run, this is the shadow of his childhood.

He deeply remembered a few times after school, when those people blocked him in the alley outside the school to strip his clothes, the despair that called every day should be called ineffective, it was really terrible.Although those ignorant hairy children are only limited to playing, they have not progressed to the step of cruel crimes.

On the most impressive day, Jiang Run cried under the kneading of those people, crying loudly.No matter how ignorant you are, you know that it is a shame to be made like this.So he cried and begged someone to save him.How could the hairy children let him cry, they tied him up, gagged his mouth with socks, and slapped Jiang Run like the gangster boss on TV.Seven-year-olds don't have much shame and humiliation in their lives, and this is the worst one.

There are worse.That day, Pei Zeyang, who was in the second year of junior high school, passed by and saw this scene.

At that time, Jiang Run was full of hope, knowing that he was the son of his father's boss. Before his father picked him up from school, it would be great if that big brother could save him.He struggled for help to Pei Zeyang, who was carrying a schoolbag outside the alley.

However, at that time, Pei Zeyang glanced at him, like an audience watching a stage, and he left indifferently when he couldn't see the excitement anymore.Empty eyes, determined back.Jiang Run can't forget.

After that, this kind of thing happened several times again, under Pei Zeyang's nose.

In Jiang Run's longing eyes again and again, he still didn't help any time.

Back then, the weak Jiang Run had no choice but to hate Pei Zeyang, a senior who would never save him. He never forgave him until he graduated from the second grade and Pei Zeyang graduated from junior high school.From that time on, Jiang Run knew that indifference was an invisible killer, and if he wanted to become stronger, he had to learn to be indifferent.

By now, those things have been forgotten. When Jiang Run first came to work, he almost didn't recognize Pei Zeyang.Of course, Pei Zeyang never remembered Jiang Run.The pain and cowardice in childhood; the low self-esteem and depression after growing up were not brought to him by Pei Zeyang, but for Jiang Run, Pei Zeyang has always been an existence that makes him feel sore.

Now, Jiang Run serves Pei Zeyang with complicated feelings; while the senior senior who was indifferent back then fell in love with the helpless child by mistake.
