Reemployment Guide for Laid-off Players

Chen Gu was driving the car, and when he stopped to wait for the green light, he took the time to ask Jiang An: "Who did you guess just now?"

Jiang An coughed lightly: "At this time, your old friends in this circle, people who treat you to dinner and ask me by the way, I can only think of Xia Yao."

"At this time?" Chen Gu smiled, turned his head to look at him, and said, "You guessed pretty well."

Jiang An originally wanted to refuse this meal, but when he remembered to refuse, he had already got into Chen Gu's car. It's good to re-propose that I don't want to spoil his interest.

Xia Yao set the place to treat guests near the original base of Hanjiang Yingxue, which is more than [-] kilometers away from the industrial park and close to the sea.When he was about to arrive, he was a bit stuck, Jiang An asked Chen Gu why Xia Yao didn't move, but Chen Gu curled his lips at him, saying that he should ask Xia Yao himself.

He definitely wouldn't ask. Once such a personal question is asked, the distance that was intended to be kept before will "shrink".

The two parked their cars and walked from the open-air parking lot to the hotel gate. Jiang An saw Xia Yao standing at the gate at a glance. Xia Yao also saw him, waved in the direction of the two of them, and then walked forward. two steps.

"I said that if you sincerely invited me to dinner, you shouldn't have settled so far away." Chen Gu stepped forward and hugged Xia Yao, then turned around and put his hands on Jiang An's back, gently pushed him up, and said: "Come on, the 'guest' is here for you."

Xia Yao's rare expression was relaxed, and he smiled and stretched out his hand to Jiang An: "I didn't expect to have my second meal so soon."

"I didn't expect Captain Xia to invite Coach Chen to dinner, and he would ask me specifically." Jiang An also smiled, raised his hand to hold Xia Yao's hand, and felt the other party tremble slightly. His eyes just fell on the two of them. Xia Yao let go of the clasped hands.

Chen Gu probably sensed that there was something in Jiang An's words, so he put his arm around Xia Yao's shoulder and led him in, and asked him in a low voice as he walked, "Do you really mean to invite Jiang An to dinner, but it's hard to say?"

"It's been too long since I haven't seen you, so I can talk to you about technical issues, okay?" Xia Yao said perfunctorily, took his hand off his shoulder, and looked at Jiang An who was two steps behind him calmly, then continued He added: "By the way, let's talk to Jiang An."

"Technical exchange" was originally a pretense, but when the three of them sat face to face and looked at each other speechlessly, this pretense really became the theme of the meal.

The waiters brought up the dishes one after another. Xia Yao reached out and took a spoon to fill three bowls of soup, with a polite smile on his lips all the time.Chen Gu joked half-jokingly: "Jiang An, I'm really looking at your face today, this kid usually has so many expressions."

Jiang An smiled back, but didn't know what to say, so he could only nod slightly in response for a moment.

Xia Yao put down the spoon and looked up at him, then rang the bell to call the waiter in, and asked for two bottles of wine in a calm tone, but Chen Gu hurriedly waved his hands to stop him, saying, "Don't, don't, I'll be driving later!"

"I've already arranged the driver." Xia Yao said calmly. After a while, he seemed to suddenly remember that there was someone like Jiang An. His eyes fell on him, and he asked him, "Are you okay with a drink?"

"Then have a drink, it's okay."

Then Jiang An went to the bathroom with an excuse, called Jiang Le in the bathroom, and told him that he would go back later at night so that he didn't have to wait.

Xia Yao stepped on his words "Go to bed early" and pushed the door in. When he saw him, he said, "Is there someone waiting at home? If it's not far from here, let's have dinner together."

It was originally a kind invitation, but when Jiang An put away his mobile phone and looked at Xia Yao again, he always felt that this was not his intention.He shook his head and said, "No, I just told him to go back later today."

Xia Yao clearly remembered that Jiang An himself said that he was not married, so he looked the person in front of him up and down without hesitation, pointed to the mobile phone in Jiang An's trouser pocket with a half-smile and asked: "The reason why you don't play games is because of him. ?”

This was a clever question, Jiang An was taken aback for a moment, wondering what Xia Yao was trying to ask - did Xia Yao know about Jiang Le?

He didn't know how to respond, Xia Yao said again: "The last time I suddenly asked if you were married, I took the liberty. After all, people like us can only go abroad if they want to get married."

Jiang An was even more confused.

What is "people like us"?Still can only go abroad to get married?

He didn't want to ask Xia Yao what he meant, but just wanted to explain Jiang Le's existence. Unexpectedly, Xia Yao changed the tone of "I understand you" on his own initiative, sighed and said to him: "It's okay, you Let’s talk when you want to talk, the dishes are ready, let’s go out to eat.”

It was only after returning to the dinner table and sitting down that Jiang An recalled the conversation just now. He saw that Xia Yao and Chen Gu were still chatting freely, as if they didn't take what they said to him seriously at all.

Then he looked at Xia Yao's eyebrows and eyes, and kept wondering how this man knew he was gay, and how could he "suddenly" come out to him under such circumstances?

When I came out to my family in high school, only Chen Gu knew about it, but Chen Gu was obviously not the kind of person who would tell this kind of thing everywhere.

What did Xia Yao mean by that?

"Jiang An?" Chen Gu saw that Jiang An did not reach out to pick up the wine glass Xia Yao handed over, and called him, "What's wrong with you? What are you thinking?"

Jiang An hurriedly stood up and raised his hand to pick up the cup in Xia Yao's hand, apologetically saying: "Sorry, sorry, I was thinking about something just now." He said to express his apology, he drank the wine in his hand first, and then Poured another glass.

Chen Gu asked him again, "So what do you think?"

"He might be wondering why you and I know each other so well." Xia Yao smiled, and held up a glass to send it forward, "Let's have a drink together."

Jiang An didn't have any clear thoughts in his mind. After drinking the second glass of wine and sitting back in his seat, he heard Chen Gu say again: "How could he think about this? When we were at school—"

Chen Gu suddenly lost his voice while talking, Jiang An reflexively turned his head to look at him, he seemed to have just realized it, and said in surprise: "Jiang An, Xia Yao is also from Hongyuan, you don't know ?”

"What?" Jiang An immediately asked loudly.

Xia Yao's hand holding vegetables stopped in mid-air, without even looking at Jiang An's expression, he smiled lightly again and said, "Xia Yao at that time was nothing, you two were influential people, you don't know me Nothing unusual."

"Hey, that's not what I meant. I thought that Jiang An at least knew that you were also a junior!" Chen Gu waved his hand, ate some food and drank some wine, put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm not a man of the hour, either. It's just hanging around with Anshen, after a long time, right, I've gained some fame."

Jiang An heard Xia Yao and Chen Gu joking, but he still couldn't remember seeing Xia Yao even once in school. He moved his fingers, rubbed his thumb and index finger together, and responded awkwardly: "I don't seem to be okay. Impressions—I've never had a good memory, I'm so sorry."

His eyes fell on Xia Yao, and he saw Xia Yao pursing his lips and smiling.

Then Xia Yao said to him: "It's okay, I actually only studied in Hongyuan for a year, and then transferred to another school."

"Transfer?"

"Well, I transferred to another school later."

Here, Jiang An recalled the past events on campus under Xia Yao's guidance. Chen Gu couldn't bear to see his dog-eating memory, so he knocked on the bowl with his chopsticks and said, "Jian An, are you premature aging? Why don't you remember anything?" gone?"

Jiang An frowned: "Did I forget something?"

"That's right, that incident could have caused a lot of trouble, but later—" Chen Gu said, looking at Xia Yao, wondering whether he should say it or not, but he didn't want Xia Yao to take the words by himself.

"There's nothing wrong with that. I transferred because of a fight. Although my dad asked someone to handle the matter, I don't want to stay in Hongyuan anymore. After thinking about it, it's better to transfer."

Jiang An tried his best to search for such a thing in his mind, and finally, in Xia Yao's concise and calm narration, he tore a hole from the "amnesia"-like barrier, and told Xia Yao that this thing and his I have such an impression.

He pondered for a moment and said, "I remembered, it seems to be..."

Suddenly he was speechless again - if the things he finally recalled had actually happened, then Xia Yao should have been bullied.

Chen Gu stopped chewing, and the remaining sounds stopped abruptly, and the private room suddenly fell silent.

Xia Yao looked up at Jiang An, then at Chen Gu, who had a big mouthful of vegetables in his mouth and didn't dare to chew, then smiled again with the corners of his lips bent, and broke the inexplicable silence: "Just think about it, let's eat Let's talk about something else, let's talk about games."

Chatting about games was a lot easier, and it was inevitable to drink a few more glasses as soon as the atmosphere was good.

Jiang An doesn't drink very well, and he will get drunk when he drinks. He propped his forehead with his palms, and suddenly remembered in a daze that Xia Yao was selected into the club he was in as a youth trainee four years ago.

At that time, Drunken Tage was "recruiting horses" everywhere, and the whole club spent all day in the game to pay attention to those IDs that played well, and then handed them over to the manager to ask one by one.Jiang An really didn't care much about it. He had to train and live broadcast, and he had to do this. In the end, he chose who he chose, but he didn't remember who he chose.

Although the ID "Qinghexia" was impressed by his outstanding performance, he didn't have time to ask questions after being mixed in with the pile of IDs he handed in. That's how Xia Yao entered the youth training camp, and One stay is one year.

Jiang An didn't know that "Qing He Xia" he was optimistic about would stay in the youth training camp for a whole year, and he didn't leave even if he couldn't get in. Now he is much more sober than he was at that time through the strength of alcohol.

In a daze, he saw Xia Yao stretching out his hand to help him. With a wave of his hand, he staggered a few steps, and the next second he felt top-heavy and almost fell down.

Xia Yao then took a step forward and grabbed him again, and pushed him against the car door to stabilize him again.

From taking Jiang An out of the hotel to holding and dragging him to the car in various ways, Xia Yao never said a word.He has been in poor health since he was a child, and until now every time he has a physical examination, he is also thin. He was not strong at first, and he was exhausted after tossing Jiang An to the side of the car, so he had to hand over Chen Gu, who was also drunk, to the substitute driver.

Then Jiang An suddenly grabbed Xia Yao's arm, pulled the person closer to him, and tried his best to keep his words clear, and said to him: "Who did you say it would be... just so scared Did you come out of the youth training camp?"

Xia Yao's hands froze, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Chen Gu being supported by the chauffeur and walking towards him.He ignored Jiang An's question, opened the car door and stuffed him into the back seat. When he came back to his senses, he found that Jiang An was put in the wrong car, and he was too tired to move.

"Sir, is this the address? Please check again." Xia Yao checked Chen Gu's address, nodded and thanked him.

Two surrogate drivers, one driving Chen Gu's car and the other driving his car. It is obviously not a wise choice for Chen Gu, who is drunk to take care of Jiang An, who is already unconscious. It is not a wise choice to ask Jiang An where he lives. Unable to find a clear address, Xia Yao asked the valet to drive directly back to his residence.

At ten o'clock in the evening, in Xia Yao's bedroom, only the dim bedside lamp was turned on.

Xia Yao himself sat on the carpet, leaning against the small sofa, wanted to light a cigarette, and finally threw the lighter into the trash can, cursing himself for being sick.

He actually brought the drunk Jiang An home.

At this time, Jiang An "doves occupy the magpie's nest" was lying on the bed in the same posture as when Xia Yao threw him down, snoring slightly.Xia Yao only turned on the bedside lamp, and after throwing Jiang An on the bed, he was so tired that he sat on the ground, reflecting on why he suddenly wanted to invite these two people who can't drink very much to have a drink.

He didn't know where Jiang An lived, and he couldn't throw the two drunks together, so he had to bring Jiang An back.

He explained it like this, but his mood changed subtly.

I bought this single apartment a few years ago. Xia Yao didn't like a too big room, so Jiang An slept in just this one bedroom, so he could only hug the quilt and pillows and go to the sofa for the night.

However, as soon as he lay down, he felt that it was not safe to let Jiang An lie on his stomach like this, so he went back to the bedroom to turn him around.

Looking at the person who was sleeping soundly on his stomach in the middle of the bed, he wanted to wake Jiang An up and let him turn over by himself, but he yelled several times in Jiang An's ear, but the person remained motionless.In desperation, he had no choice but to do it himself, first "smooth" Jiang An's arms to the sides of his body, then put one hand on his right shoulder, and the other on his left shoulder, and "break" him from behind to lie flat.

After completing this action, Xia Yao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, Jiang An just raised his hand and waved it in mid-air.

Then Xia Yao returned to the sofa again, staring intently at the beams of light coming in from outside and shining on the ceiling, dotted with stars, like the Milky Way.Seeing insomnia, he was finally willing to close his heavy eyelids after three o'clock in the morning and fell asleep.

The next day.

Jiang An woke up with a burst of dizziness. After waking up, he subconsciously reached out to the bedside table to get his phone.

Of course, he didn't touch his phone when he reached out, but knocked Xia Yao's notebook on the bedside table, which woke him up completely with a bang.

The strange decoration, the strange bed, and even the faint scent in the air were all so strange, all of which made his temples twitch.He lifted the thin quilt from his body and sat up, and found that he was completely dressed except for the shoes, and the pain between his brows became more and more painful.

In addition to the dull pain in his head, he also had a sore throat. He saw a glass of water on the bedside table, and when he reached for it, he lowered his head and caught a glimpse of the thing he accidentally knocked off just now.

He bent down to pick it up, then got up and suddenly saw Xia Yao standing at the door.

"Did you sleep well?" Xia Yao was barefoot, with loose pajamas covering his body, his trousers were baggy, and his belt was partly hanging down. He was holding two glasses of milk in his hand, and seeing Jiang An stunned by the bed did not speak. Without any movement, he explained to him: "You drank too much last night. I don't know where your family lives. Chen Gu was also drunk."

Jiang An understood his explanation, cleared his throat and thanked: "...Thank you, I have caused you trouble."

"No problem, are you? Seeing that your complexion is not very good." Xia Yao took a few steps forward, only to notice that his notebook was in Jiang An's hands.

Jiang An followed his gaze and lowered his head, and found that he was still holding the notebook, and quickly said, "Sorry, I accidentally knocked it off just now."

"It's okay, let's go out and have something to eat." Xia Yao glanced at him again, turned and left the room without saying anything.
