Xu Ran rushed into the elevator with his whole body drenched, carrying the takeaway in both hands, his glasses were covered with water, and he couldn't see the expressions of the people around him clearly.However, their evasion actions were very consistent.

"Can you press the 12th floor for me?" He asked the man standing closest to him, and the only one who didn't give way to him after he entered the elevator.

The man glanced at him: "The 12th floor is pressed."

"Thank you!" Xu Ran pursed his smile.

When the elevator reached the 12th floor, Xu Ran hunched his back and hurried away, afraid of blocking the people behind.He walked to the side of the elevator and stopped, put down the takeaway, took off his glasses, took out a pack of tissues from his trouser pocket, dried them, and put them on again.He found F1201 Nebula Venture Capital Company according to the address on the takeaway.

At the front desk is a young woman with raised eyes, who looks very powerful.

"Your takeaway." Xu Ran put the takeaway on the front desk.

"You guys are so slow, it took an hour and a half to deliver, how can you still eat it!" The young woman was very dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, we don't want to do this either. It will be slower when it rains." Xu Ran explained with a smile.

"Is this a bit slower? This is much slower! The other takeaways we ordered have arrived in half an hour, and everyone is already full! We don't want this takeaway, I've already ordered a return, you can take it back !" The young woman looked at him slantingly, with a look of no discussion.

"Well, how can this work... It's really raining too much, and the place is far away. The business in the store is too good and the business is a bit slow, so it took so much time. You, please forgive me." Xu Flushing anxiously, she begged the other party, hoping that the other party would change her mind.

"I forgive you, who forgives me? Do you know that I was almost scolded because of your delivery?!" The young woman sneered.

"That, that, it can't be like this!" Xu Ran was about to cry.This order is regrettable, and he has done nothing today.If he had known this, he would not have grabbed the list.

"You can figure it out yourself!" The young woman sat down and banged on the computer, not forgetting to chase people away: "You can't leave this takeaway here, hurry up and take it away."

It was the first time Xu Ran encountered such a situation, he stared blankly at the end of his eyes on the front desk, not knowing what to do.

"Hurry up, what are you still doing here, do you want me to find security to drive you away?" The young woman told him to leave quickly in disgust.

Xu Ran hesitated for a while, but finally decided to admit that he was unlucky, took off the takeaway and picked it up again, turned around and left.

"Xiao Lin, has the takeaway we ordered just arrived?" A man came out from inside and asked the front desk.

"Hey, didn't you say—"

"President Xiao hasn't eaten yet!"

"Hey, your takeaway is non-refundable, take it back!" the woman named Xiaolin shouted.

Xu Ran turned around, and answered in a nonchalant voice: "Huh?"

"Hey, what's the matter, you brought that takeaway back, you're lucky, our President Xiao just didn't eat it today, it's cheap for you!"

Xu Ran put the outside back on the front desk, and Xiao Lin kept reading impatiently.

The man in the white shirt leaned beside him and looked at him unobtrusively.

"Thank you, I'm really sorry for causing you trouble." Even though he was scolded, Xu Ran was still grateful.

Xiao Lin didn't even give him a straight look, and responded enthusiastically to the man next to him: "Mr. Xiao hasn't eaten yet. These are probably cold. I'll go to the microwave to warm them up."The man rejected her: "No, thank you." Turning around to Xu Ran who kept apologizing and thanking him, he said softly: "We are the ones who troubled you, and we will give you a five-star praise!"

Xu Ran didn't even look at the person carefully, only knew that it was a tall man in a white shirt, and he bowed to him: "Thank you, thank you."

The other party laughed softly, patted him on the shoulder, and took away the takeaway.

Xu Ran bowed to Xiao Lin again: "Thank you, thank you."

Kobayashi threw him a blank stare.

When Xu Ran walked out of the building, it was already nine o'clock in the evening, the rain was getting heavier, and the places where no street lights illuminated were completely dark.He took out his mobile phone, calculated today's income, and ran a total of 43 orders, totaling 78 yuan.Plus the basic salary, it was a little better than expected.He stepped on the electric car and rushed into the torrential rain without hesitation.

"Okay, okay, yes, go home for dinner on weekends, I understand, don't talk about it, I already know, I have something to do, I'll hang up first, please be better." Xiao Huan hung up the phone and rubbed his brows Since he returned to China, the two old people in the family have been incessantly wanting him to move back home.He considered the issue, but he ultimately vetoed it.He is already an adult and has his own world.

Li Dongyao came in with his takeaway in both hands, saw him frowning, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Xiao Huan watched him open the takeaway, all of which were stir-fried vegetables, fish-flavored pork shreds, pot-wrapped pork, ground three delicacies... ten dishes, four boxes of lunch.

"I just turned around in the microwave oven, it's hot." Li Dongyao greeted him.

Xiao Huan sat over, opened a box of lunch, and took two bites.

"Why don't you ask me about the delivery guy?" Li Dongyao asked him.

Just now Xiao Huan paid him out on purpose and asked him to go to the front desk to get takeaway.Obviously this takeaway was ordered by the administrative team outside, but I heard that it was delivered too late, so I have to return it.When he went out, the new receptionist was making things difficult for him.

"Well, how's it going?" Xiao Huan asked casually.

"The new receptionist is not a kind person. The little girl is very rude and mean. She almost makes people cry. The delivery guy has pretty features and looks very honest. I was bullied all the time, all I knew was to say I’m sorry, I’m sorry, and if I changed to another delivery person, there would probably be a quarrel!” Li Dongyao described the scene at that time.

"Talk to the personnel, let Xiao Lin go." Xiao Huan said while eating.

"I also think it's better to let her go." Li Dongyao agreed very much, and immediately called the supervisor of the personnel department.After making the phone call, he stood next to Xiao Huan, watched him finish eating a piece of hot pot and asked gossipingly, "Why did you help this delivery man?"

Xiao Huan glanced at him, and replied blankly: "Student."

"High school classmate?" Li Dongyao was curious.

Xiao Huan paused: "From elementary school to high school." He suddenly discovered that Xu Ran was in the same school and class as him all the way, and he was at the same table as him in the third year of high school.His grades are very bad. I heard that he spent money to enter their class, and he was contracted by him as the No.1 in the last three years.It's noisy, sports very well, and has a nickname, "Silly Xu"!

"Oh, no wonder. But how did he become a delivery man, he looks very hard!" Li Dongyao asked.

Xiao Huan put down his chopsticks, got up and poured a glass of water.

"After I went abroad to study, we didn't keep in touch. I don't know why he did this job." He remembered that Xu Ran's family conditions were not bad, and his mother often went to his father's shop to take flower art lessons.

"Your classmate is very good-looking, here—" Li Dongyao poked his right cheek: "You have a dimple even if you don't smile."

Xiao Huan held the water glass and looked at him without speaking.He met Xu Ran in the elevator, and recognized him at first sight, even though he was wearing a blue T-shirt for delivering food, soaked to the skin, and wearing myopia glasses.Because of the dimple on his right cheek, the dimple that he has even when he smiles.He has lost a lot of weight, his back is slightly hunched, and the carelessness and timidity in his eyes have replaced the cheerfulness and sunshine when he was studying.

"The whole person looks cowardly and pitiful." Li Dongyao continued.

Xiao Huan was noncommittal, yes, Xu Ran now looks cowardly and pitiful, completely different from before.

"Is he like this when he was studying?" Li Dongyao asked him.

"Forgot, I'm not familiar with him. Why are you asking so much?" Xiao Huan asked him back.

"You know, I like boys with dimples!" Li Dongyao winked at him ambiguously.

Li Dongyao is gay, blatantly gay.He likes good-looking men with dimples, and Xu Ran meets the conditions.

"Are you so hungry that you want to order a takeaway?" Xiao Huan mocked him.

"What do you say, is it different from that Xiaolin?!" Li Dongyao got up and looked down at him with a playful smile on his face.

Xiao Huan was too lazy to look at him.

"I decided to order takeaway at noon tomorrow. If he is the one who delivers the food, I will date him and sleep with him!" Li Dongyao swore.

Xiao Huan looked at the way his sperm was on his brain, thinking that maybe someone would give it to him tomorrow.He didn't want it to be Xu Ran, even he himself was surprised by the idea.He hated Xu Ran, the two often fought in elementary school, because Xu Ran liked to call him a pervert and was often beaten by him.He didn't like the way Xu Ran looked stupid.Therefore, whether Li Dongyao wants to sleep with Xu Ran has nothing to do with him.

"I wish you success!" He wished Li Dongyao.

"Thank you!" Li Dongyao squinted and smiled.

When Xu Ran returned home, his underwear was soaked. In Nanjing in mid-August, the night has begun to get cold.He quickly took a hot shower, and sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt for half an hour before he recovered.He took out his mobile phone and browsed through Moments.He never posts on Moments himself, he always reads other people's postings.He doesn't have many friends, about a hundred, most of them are colleagues who deliver food together, and many are micro-businessmen, only a few are classmates and friends who don't have much contact.Even if it was a micro-business advertisement, he read it carefully.When you meet someone you like, you will seriously like it and rarely leave a comment.

High school monitor Liu Yifan posted three Moments in succession at [-]:[-] p.m., the last one said: "Xiao Dashen has returned to China, when will Class [-] of Senior Zero make an appointment?"

The accompanying picture is a candid photo of Xiao Huan. The two are in a high-end coffee shop. Xiao Huan, who is in a dark suit, is sitting opposite him, ordering with the waiter sideways.His profile is beautiful.

Xu Ran hesitated for a while, but didn't dare to give a thumbs up.He, Liu Yifan, and Xiao Huan were classmates from elementary school to junior high school to high school.He never thought that Xiao Huan would still be in contact with other people.

He saved the photo to his phone, zoomed in and looked at it for a long time.Sure enough, Xiao Huan has always been outstanding, he is very happy.

Near noon, Li Dongyao rushed in again without knocking on the door. Xiao Huan was very annoyed. He told him many times and did not change. There was nothing he could do about it.

"What do you want to eat, we are going to order takeaway." Li Dongyao approached him with a smile.

"I'm going out to eat." Xiao Huan closed the computer, slid the chair away, and distanced himself from Li Dongyao.

"It's raining heavily outside, why don't you go out to eat?" Li Dongyao walked to the French windows and pulled up the roller blinds.

The heavy rain hit the glass, flowing down like a waterfall, and the buildings just one street away could not be seen clearly, and the outside was already a vast ocean world.

"It's all like this, you still go out to eat?" Li Dongyao asked him, pointing to the heavy rain outside the window.

"I have an appointment with a client." Unmoved, Xiao Huan found a reason.

"Okay then, I can only order with the auditing gang!" Li Dongyao was disappointed.

"I don't know if it's your classmate who delivered the food today? I really hope it's him! The dimples are so cute!" The next second, Li Dongyao excitedly started planning how to get Xu Ran.

Xiao Huan picked up the car keys without saying a word, and left the office.

When getting off the elevator, there was a delivery man who took the elevator with Xiao Huan. He was wearing a red delivery uniform. Even with a raincoat on, he was already soaked and looked embarrassed. Everyone else kept a distance from him.He looked up at the number of the elevator descending, and whispered in his mouth: "Hurry up, hurry up." Xiao Huan looked at him from the corner of his eye. He was younger than Xu Ran, and his face was full of anxiety that couldn't wait. It was the same as the Xu Ran I saw last night.

When the elevator reached the first floor, the delivery man almost ran out. Xiao Huan glanced at the people waiting for the elevator outside. Some of them were wearing the same overalls as Xu Ran, but Xu Ran was not.When the elevator went down to the B7 floor, Xiao Huan found his car, the Audi Q[-] he had just bought. He got in the car and didn't start it in a hurry.

Drive along the main road in front of the Baiyu Building of Xingyun Company. After passing through three intersections, there is a Jinyi shopping mall. city.Xiao Huan randomly found a Sichuan restaurant, went in and ordered three spicy dishes.While waiting for the food to be served, he found that there were delivery staff coming in all the time, all in red and blue clothes. After checking the list with the shopkeeper, he took the packaged food and left. Everyone was soaked in raincoats. hurry.

He looked at it seriously for a while, and felt ridiculous again, because he met Xu Ran by chance and started to pay attention to these things, which he never paid attention to before.He was just about to stop watching when a thin figure flashed into the store.

"Boss, is the twice-cooked pork and pickled fish ready? There are another 8 dishes from Zhongzhan Building, are they all ready?" Xu Ran was wearing a transparent raincoat, dripping from top to bottom.After he finished asking the boss, he took off his glasses and wiped the water.He found a tissue box from an unused table next to him, pulled out two tissues very close, and held his glasses close to his face to wipe them.After wiping it, he put on his glasses again and turned his head to look inside the shop.

There are four tables of guests in the store, and the other three tables are seated very far away.Only Xiao Huan sat slightly outside.Xu Ran looked in his direction and paused for a while, then turned his head immediately, and urged the boss inside: "Are you ready? The guests are all urging!"

For a moment, Xiao Huan felt that Xu Ran saw him.But he reacted like he didn't see him.His eyes are short-sighted for some reason, and they seem to be very dark.Xiao Huan stared at his silhouette standing against the front desk, this time it was really mixed.

When Xu Ran walked out of the Sichuan restaurant with the takeaway to deliver, his legs felt a little weak.He didn't expect to see him here.This was the first time he saw him in real life after seven years. He hadn't changed much, and he still looked deserted.He probably didn't recognize him. After seven years, he has changed too much, and he wears glasses again. He must not recognize him.Even if he walked by now, he might not be able to recognize him.What's more, it's just a look from afar.Xu Ran stood at the entrance of the shopping mall for a while, and after he calmed down, he was ready to deliver the food.
