May there be no time to turn back

Hearing a knock on the door, someone inside the house shouted "Please come in".

Bai Zijian poked his head in and looked at Chang He's seat.

"Come in." Chang He hurriedly stood up and greeted, "We are all colleagues, so there is no need to be so restrained."

Only then did Bai Zijian walk in generously: "The phone said that I need to fill in some information?"

"That's it," Chang He said, and handed over a blank form, "It's for you to go through the formalities afterward. You can sit with me and write." He moved aside and stood aside.

Bai Zijian thanked him, picked up a pen and began to write seriously.

"Hey Bai Zijian," the young girl in the front seat turned her head, squinted her eyes full of curiosity, pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and asked, "Do you have a date?"

Bai Zijian raised his head and grinned: "I'm married and had a son three years ago."

"Ah~~~" The young girl felt disappointed, "I originally wanted to introduce you to a girlfriend, but it seems that there is no way~~~"

"Haha, yes." Bai Zijian replied.

Chang He raised his eyebrows and whistled lightly and shortly: "You are a winner in life, Bai Zijian, and Aunt Feng's wish has been fulfilled?"

"Perhaps." Bai Zijian said lightly, with a gloomy look in his eyes.

Seeing the puzzled expression of the colleague in the front seat, Chang He explained: "He is the son of Aunt Feng Yalan, our project planning team."

"Oh!" The colleague covered his mouth in surprise, "I didn't even know Aunt Feng had such a handsome son."

"I'm a returnee from overseas, and I just returned to China." Bai Zijian said, "Mom probably seldom talks about me. It's normal if you don't know."

"Indeed," Chang He pinched his chin and said, "Could it be that your personal resume included a family relationship, and I'm still kept in the dark. Having such an excellent son but not showing it off, Aunt Feng is also low-key."

Bai Zijian laughed dryly.My mother never mentioned anything about me, but it's not as simple as being low-key.

"You take this away, first go to the joint management to get Tian Ge to stamp it, and then hand it over to the Finance Department, it should be fine." Bai Zijian finished filling out the information and wanted to hand it over to Chang He, who heard Chang He say this.

"Uh, what?" Bai Zijian didn't understand, "Lian... management?"

"Joint Management Department, find Tian Ge, stamp it, and then go to the Treasury Department, and hand it over to anyone." Chang He repeated every word, and added worryingly, "Well, you remember us The department's landline, if you can't find it, call me."

Bai Zijian took out his mobile phone, opened the address book and saved it in. In a blink of an eye, he saw Guan Xiao's number, which was still quietly lying in the address book and had not been used.

"By the way, you can take a shortcut and follow me." After Chang He said, he took Bai Zijian out of the office, and didn't stop until the end of the corridor. He unscrewed the iron door at hand, and inside was the corridor for the emergency exit.

Chang He raised his hand and pointed, and Bai Zijian found a straight ladder in a hidden corner.

"This is a freight elevator. Few people use it, but it's very convenient. Go up." After Chang He explained, he waved his hand and wanted to go back the same way.

"Guan Xiao, which department does he belong to?" Chang He stopped when he heard Bai Zijian asking from behind.

Since the last farewell to this day, I have never seen any trace of him again.Bai Zijian thought that the tacit understanding had decreased a lot after returning to China, and the chance of encountering them by chance became so small.

"He is not an employee here." Chang He said.

"Ah? Can't it?" Bai Zijian was surprised, unexpectedly, "I think he's quite familiar with this place."

"He stayed here for a while before, but then he quit. We are friends, and he came to see me that day." Chang He explained briefly, thinking that it really was the so-called "meeting fate", Bai Zijian The understanding of Guan Xiao is indeed pitiful.

"No wonder." Bai Zijian murmured, it seemed that it was impossible to meet again in the company.

"Then you know," Bai Zijian asked mysteriously, pointing to his chest, "What about his ring?"

Chang He raised his eyebrows, looked at him for a long time, then finally nodded: "It's a wedding ring."

"Then he and his wife... are on good terms?" Bai Zijian asked tentatively, but Chang He sighed.

"His lover has passed away." Chang He said lightly, with a cloud of haze rising in his eyes, "There was no pain, and he passed away peacefully. But he still couldn't let it go, and it has been more than a year. We have been struggling with how to let him go He came out and lived a good life. If he was willing to pour his emotions into other people, maybe he wouldn't be so heartbroken."

"It turned out to be like this..." No wonder his grief always came so abruptly, it was because of the intractable sadness in his heart that easily touched the scene.

Chang He looked at him with a hint of regret: "I shouldn't have told you so much."

"No, I would like to thank you for telling me this." Bai Zijian bowed to Chang He and said humbly.

Chang He frowned, feeling confused and confused for a while.If the two are familiar with each other, Bai Zijian doesn't know anything about Guan Xiao's past; but if it is defined as a nodding acquaintance, how did he hear about the ring?

She couldn't figure it out, so she shook her head and gave up.

Guan Xiao pushed open the graffiti-covered glass door of the bar, and saw Bai Zijian nestled in an inconspicuous corner, guarding two glasses of beer on the table, waiting for him leisurely.

"What happened?" Guan Xiao sat down and asked impatiently.

Bai Zijian said on the phone that he needed Guan Xiao's help, but he was vague and refused to make it clear. Guan Xiao mistakenly thought that Bai Zijian was in danger and rushed in every second, but he looked so calm and relaxed.

"Hey, I'm lonely. If you stay with me, it's as a help." Bai Zijian held his chin and didn't look at Guan Xiao, pretending to focus on the resident singer tuning the guitar.

Guan Xiao laughed dumbfounded and supported his forehead: "I drove here from the seaside, driving all the way, and the result is to let me drink with you?"

"What are you doing?" Bai Zijian pushed one of the cups to Guan Xiao indifferently, and said with peace of mind, "Didn't you say that it was difficult to find brother Xiao, and now you want to break your promise again?"

Guan Xiao couldn't refute, and his throat was so dry, he simply gulped down half a cup to quench his thirst, trying to relieve the embarrassment.Seeing Bai Zijian propping his chin and looking at him cutely, Guan Xiao's resentment disappeared immediately.

Forget it, there is no reason to talk to a wayward child, so tonight it is right to lead the children to play.

The resident singer began to sing, his voice was low but gentle, very pleasant to hear.The action of embracing the guitar is inexplicably melancholic.However, the clothes around him were completely inconsistent with his aura, and he looked a little arrogant.Deliberately high short hair, strangely shaped earrings, and metal ornaments all over the body that collide with each other with a slight movement.

Guan Xiao frowned and looked away.The unique aesthetics of these literary and artistic youths who engage in music are not appreciated by ordinary people.

But the atmosphere created by this bar is particularly attractive, but it's a bit remote, and I don't know how Bai Zijian found it here.

"Why did you go to the beach?" Bai Zijian put down his glass and asked.

Guan Xiao opened his mouth as if to say something, but paused, and seemed to change his words temporarily: "It's nothing, blow some air."

"It's so cold, what a quirk." Bai Zijian complained.

Guan Xiao just smiled indifferently, without refuting.

"Brother Xiao, that ring of yours is from a wedding ring." Bai Zijian asked seriously, "You really lied to me when you said you didn't have a wife."

Guan Xiao resisted this topic, his pulse speeded up due to excitement, the cup was hanging in his hand, and the golden liquid trembled slightly: "I didn't lie to you."

Bai Zijian rolled his eyes, and tentatively said: "So I guess, the owner of the other ring is actually a man, right?"

Guan Xiao kept silent for a short time to confirm Bai Zijian's guess, and then saw him slamming the bottom of his cup on the table, forcefully avoiding the questioning.

Bai Zijian was taken aback by Guan Xiao's intense emotions, so he didn't make a sound, just sat in his seat and didn't dare to move.

"I'll go first." Guan Xiao maintained his composure as much as possible, trying to get up.

Turning around, he saw Chang He pushing the door and walking in.

She directly sat in the reserved seat next to the resident singer, and the waiter seemed to recognize her, and brought a cocktail with ease.At the end of the resident song, he walked off the stage, sat opposite Chang He, and affectionately put his palm on Chang He's cheeks that were flushed from the cold.
