Love with a difference of 24cm

<five days ago>

Xi Yuan: Hey...you disappeared for a long time, are you still alive?

<three days ago>

Xi Yuan: Squeak alive~

<today>

Xi Yuan: Why did you shut down? !

Xi Yuan: I just read the news that someone in your company died from overwork.Don't scare us!

Xi Yuan: Why can’t I get through after recharging you? !

Xi Yuan: Hello!I collected a bunch of online game articles for you, but you replied to me!

Yuan Lu: The girl said that I can't contact you recently, if you see a message after you finish your work, don't let her worry.

At around [-] o'clock on Saturday night, Hu Yi was startled by a bunch of text messages and more than [-] missed call reminders as soon as he turned on the phone.

After reading the sources of those text messages and calls, he understood what was going on.

He dialed directly from the call log, and the phone was picked up as soon as it rang.

Before he had time to speak, he heard the anxious question on the other end of the phone: "Is it Hu Yi?"

There was a warm feeling in his heart, and he couldn't help the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "It's me, girl..."

Before finishing speaking, the other end of the phone immediately became excited: "It's Hu Yi! Ahhh~ Xiaoxi~ It's Hu Yi himself~"

Then came a smiling female voice from a distance: "I know, I know. Are you at ease now?"

However, as soon as the style of painting changed, the person on the other end of the phone began to criticize him: "Hu Yi! Where did you go? I can't reach you! Q/Q is not available, and the phone is not answering! Shut down the phone! You said that if you die in your little shabby house, you won’t be rotten to bones when you’re found!”

Hu Yi listened to her finish with a smile, and answered in a neutral tone: "It's almost winter, and it won't be so easy to die."

"you!"

Hearing the exasperated voice of the other party, he said to the phone what he had just said: "Sorry, I made you worry."

The other party sighed softly, "I really broke my heart!"

Hu Yi quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, I'm fine. I've been working overtime recently, and fell asleep when I got home. I haven't touched my phone for several days, so I didn't call you back."

He has worked overtime for thirteen consecutive days. The company where he works does not allow personal electronic products to enter. When he is free, he always puts his mobile phone in the storage box outside the security gate. Once he works overtime continuously, he will not be bothered. Bring your cell phone and leave it at home.

His overtime work is periodic and irregular, as short as a day or two, as long as a week or so is normal, and it is common for him to sleep directly at the company at two or three o'clock at night, but it is the first time for him to go so long like this time.

The other end of the phone softened his tone, "It's good that you're fine. I just saw that you disappeared for a longer time than before, and you were frightened by the news of someone's sudden death in your company. That person is also a product manager! Is your profession so dangerous?"

The outside world says that IT is a short-lived industry, and the occasional cases of karoshi make people believe in it.The news had spread within the company two days ago. Although it made people panic, everyone just talked about panic and did not neglect their work.Hu Yi was even worse, he didn't even have a trace of fear, so what should he do.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

"Don't worry! If you have someone to take care of you, I won't worry about it!"

"Hiring a nanny is really troublesome."

"you!"

"Okay, okay. You know, my job is to work a lot of overtime, how can I have time..."

To fall in love... Before saying these words, Xi Yuan interrupted him sharply.

"Excuses! It's the end of the world soon, what kind of work are you working so hard! Just be an orphan!"

"..."

He was speechless... He knew that it was not normal for him to work almost all the time except sleeping, and he was getting used to this state, but he didn't know how to break through this status quo, and he didn't bother to think about it.

"You, don't keep your face so sullen. Even people who like you dare not approach you! Even God of Love hesitates to hook you up! Do you know how to smile more? You look pretty when you smile, don't be so stingy, okay? Who can you hit with a single smile?"

Listening to Xi Yuan's babbling, Hu Yi looked at the mirror of the wardrobe, where there was a expressionless and slightly serious face reflected there.As Xi Yuan said, the way he does not smile does give people a sense of oppression, but he is not very fond of laughing in front of unfamiliar people, which makes people who are new to him feel difficult to get along with and dare not approach .

Of course, except for people like Xi Yuan who can get acquainted with everyone.The relationship between him and Xi Yuan started in the library not long after the first year of freshman year.At that time, the military training had just ended, and he found his shelter in the library.One day, when he was looking for a book, he saw a petite girl tiptoeing to get a book from the highest shelf, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach it.He took it off for her easily.While complaining that the bookshelf was too high, the girl envied his height, and finally sat next to him with a book in her arms.This girl is Xi Yuan.After that, whenever they met, Xi Yuan would take the initiative to stick to him, as if he was very familiar with him.At first he refused in his heart, but as time passed, he got used to it.

Facing the mirror, he grinned, trying to make a smile.

"Did you listen to me?!"

Startled by Xi Yuan's roar, he put away his stiff expression, "I'm listening."

Xi Yuan sighed heavily, "Forget it. Are you going to work tomorrow?"

"No, the product is online, so I can take a breather for the time being."

"Then you rest, remember not to disappear for so long in the future! Always report to us that you are safe!"

"I will report by SMS every day from now on."

"That's right! We'll see you when we're free, go to bed early, goodbye."

"bye."

Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard Xi Yuan calling urgently: "Wait, wait!"

He put the phone back to his ear, "What's wrong?"

"I packed the novel and sent it to your mailbox."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, he sent a text message to Yuan Lu to report that he was safe, then threw the phone on the bed, and Hu Yi looked around feebly.

In this ten-square-meter bedroom, there are two single beds, a desk, and a wardrobe, which seems a bit crowded. His bed is messy, the quilt and sheets are rolled together, and the other bed has been moved out since Yuan Lu changed jobs. It has been empty since then, as thick with dust as the table next to it.

He is the same age as Yuan Lu, and before they were born, the two families lived opposite each other, so he and Yuan Lu have been playing together since they wore open crotch pants.Later, their family moved, and the two of them were admitted to different schools, and they were not alienated.Even came out to each other later, and the relationship became stronger.The two of them rented a house together since their internship in college. At that time, the two took care of each other, and the quality of life was not bad. Once they became one person, they would settle for everything and completely derailed.

It's not that he doesn't like cleaning, but that once he gets busy, he doesn't have time to take care of other things.Although, if the product is compared to a child, the product manager is at most a surrogate mother in the child's life, but the surrogate mother has to work a hundred times harder than the real mother!As a product manager in the software industry, overtime is no less than that of programmers. In the early stage, demand should be quickly generated, mid-term follow-up development and testing, and later product operation and market must respond to user feedback and new needs. It is simply interpreting something with life. It's called "earning the money to sell cabbage and making money to sell white/pink"!What's more, his nurse was outsourced.

The reason is clear, but after all, the road is chosen by oneself, and many things cannot be controlled by oneself when one is in it.Therefore, since he was outsourced by the company to MH, an IT company known as the world's top [-], during his internship at school, he has not had a few days of leisure. To revolve around the product, no matter what the period is like a spinning top.

He sighed, walked to the corner of the living room, took off his down jacket and threw it into the storage box full of dirty clothes, picked up the bottled water in the cardboard box next to him, unscrewed it, and took a sip.The cold water entered his stomach, making him shiver.

This winter seems to have come much earlier than in previous years. It rained for two consecutive days as soon as November entered, and the temperature dropped sharply to the freezing point.Thanks to the cooling, the landlord turned on the heating in advance, and the room was quite warm.

He screwed on the bottle cap, threw the water back into the box, glanced at the empty bottles piled up in the corner next to him, and turned back to the bedroom.

After waking up from sleep, let's clean up... After making this decision, he yawned lazily, took off his clothes and got into the messy bed.

I haven't slept well for several days, it should be due to lack of sleep, but I can't fall asleep when I close my eyes.The body is almost exhausted, but the brain is extremely excited, which is always the case when he is overworked.Novels became a necessity.

Reluctantly, he climbed out of bed and walked to the desk, took out a tissue to wipe off the dust on the laptop, turned it on, threw it on the bed, and got back under the covers.

He logged into Q/Q, and there were dozens of times more bombardments from Xi Yuan than text messages. He had already explained on the phone, so there was no need to reply. He took a rough look, closed the chat window, opened the mailbox, Find Xi Yuan's email in the pile of advertising emails and download the attachment.

"Hu, Senior Hu Yi, I like you!"

The scorching sun shone through the dense banyan leaves, leaving only spots. The boy stood in the spots, his immature face was covered with fine sweat. Although he was too nervous to look at him, he still stubbornly looked up. face.

"What do you like about me?" He asked lightly.

The boy suddenly lowered his head, twisted his fingers, "I, I..." He didn't say anything for a long time.

"Sorry, I don't think I can respond to you."

Due to the disparity in height, he could only see the boy's haloed hair twirling, but couldn't see his expression.However, from the trembling shoulders and white fingers, he knew that his answer had hurt the boy.

The inexplicable intolerance drove him to explain, wanting the boys to know that "it's not your problem, but I can't".

"I've already graduated. Judging by your appearance, it's still early for graduation. The place I'm going to is far away from here. I don't like long-distance relationships. Besides, I'm very busy with work, so I don't have time..."

The "Dinglingling" phone rang untimely, he took out the phone from his pocket, glanced at it, and hung up.Looking up again, the boy turned his head and ran away.

"Dinglingling" the phone rang again, and it became clearer. With his eyes closed, he struggled to find the phone, swiped it, and put it to his ear.

"Are you still asleep?" Xi Yuan's cheerful voice came from the phone.

He gave a vague "hmm".

"Don't sleep! Get up!"

"Ah."

Although he answered, he didn't get up, but his consciousness became more and more blurred. When he let go, the phone fell to the pillow, and Xi Yuan's voice became more and more distant.

go after him! ——A voice in the bottom of his heart urged him.

He wanted to catch up, but he couldn't lift his feet as if they were filled with lead. He could only watch helplessly as the boy's slender figure got further and further away.

The dull feeling in his chest became more and more uncomfortable. He suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling with a dazed expression.
