Run in the opposite direction

Since this is the case, then I won't force it, next time you come over, feel free to look for me. "

After dinner, Xing Nian sent Xing Chen a WeChat message after sending him to the station: Brother, Xiao Qiao is on the high-speed train back to Luojiang.Grandma Qiao's illness doesn't seem to be very good, and Xiao Qiao looks very depressed.

It was after six in the morning when the train entered the territory of Luojiang River. It should have been dawn, but the heavy rain pouring outside the window made the carriages rattle, and it looked like a dark night at a glance.

The train gradually slowed down, Qiao Qianyan took off his coat and put it on for grandma, and helped her out of the carriage.The two walked to the entrance of the waiting hall, and outside the steps was a continuous rain curtain. The bustling station was filled with the sound of heavy rain falling on the ground, and people's voices were covered up.Seeing that the rain was too heavy, Qiao Qianyan planned to wait for the rain to lighten up before going to the car. He took out his mobile phone to check the weather. It showed that during the day, Luojiang City will continue to experience heavy rain, but the weather in the surrounding scenic spots is fine. .Qiao Qianyan sighed, since that's the case, he can only go to the car early, and he will be fine when he leaves the city.

Qiao Qianyan looked around, there were vans soliciting passengers outside the station, and every time one came, it was full of people and left. It was impossible for Qiao Qianyan to take grandma to compete with the group of people for seats. He said to grandma: "Grandma, We'll go over there and buy an umbrella. Then we'll go to the bus station and catch the car home."

The moment Qiao Qianyan turned around, his arm was grabbed by someone, and then his head was covered by a big umbrella.

Qiao Qianyan raised his head and opened his eyes wide: "...Xing Chen?"

"Hold it." Xing Chen handed him the handle of the umbrella for him to hold, then took off his long coat and put it on Qiao Qianyan's body, and said in a familiar and unscrupulous tone, "I've been waiting for you for a long time gone."

Qiao Qianyan was still in the shock of this person's sudden appearance, but he had already pushed him into the rain.Xing Chen used the umbrella to cover Qiao Qianyan and the old lady, but half of his body was drenched instantly.

Xing Chen walked around them for more than ten meters and stopped beside a van. The driver saw it in the rearview mirror and got out of the car to help.Xing Chen told him loudly: "Master, come and help the old lady up."

After Mrs. Qiao entered, Xing Chen grabbed Qiao Qianyan who was about to get into the car, closed the car door with the other hand to block the old lady's sight, hugged him with one hand under the lowered umbrella, and kissed him quickly. forehead, and back away.The strong smell of tobacco mixed with water vapor invaded Qiao Qianyan's nasal cavity, and he almost choked.

There was a tender look in Xing Chen's eyes: "I won't accompany you home. There is a meeting at ten o'clock in the morning, so I have to hurry back."

Qiao Qianyan looked at him in surprise, and said after a long while: "You... are too troublesome."

"Who made me worry." Xing Chen tightened the coat he was wearing, and then said, "Qianyan, remember, no matter what, you are not alone."

After finishing speaking, Xing Chen opened the car door, covered the top with an umbrella to prevent the rain from getting Qiao Qianyan wet, helped him to sit in, and said loudly to the driver: "Master, be careful on the road."

Qiao Qianyan turned to look at Xing Chen, Xing Chen smiled at him before closing the car door: "See you next time."

After the van drove out for 10 minutes, Qiao Qianyan was sure that Xing Chen who came and went like lightning just now was not his illusion.

The driver looked at the young man behind and said with a smile: "Little brother, you are a very nice friend. You chartered my car at five o'clock in the morning. Later, it rained heavily and business at the gate of the station was good, but you never showed up." , I wanted to go back on my word. He added the money without waiting for me to ask, what a refreshing guy."

Mrs. Qiao was being pushed away just now, and she didn't have time to ask, so she asked Qiao Qianyan: "Qianyan, did Xing Chen pick us up at the train station on purpose? Why didn't he come to our place for two days?"

Qiao Qianyan: "He still has a meeting in the morning, so he has to go back immediately."

The old lady looked at her watch, patted her thigh and said, "Oh, it's almost seven o'clock now, can he make it past?"

If you take the nearest train, you will naturally be able to go back.

But last night Xing Chen came to Luojiang Railway Station from Ancheng, waited for several hours for them, sent them to the train and went back.Is it worth it to toss like this all night without even saying ten words?

Qiao Qianyan was still wearing Xing Chen's coat, and when he hugged him just now, Xing Chen exerted [-]% of his strength, and his arms were still numb.The half of the jacket was also soaked by Xing Chen's clothes.Qiao Qianyan took off his coat, and something fell out of his pocket while folding it.

Qiao Qianyan picked it up, it was a lighter and a pack of cigarettes with only two cigarettes left.

It was ten o'clock when Xing Chen came out of the train station. He took a taxi and hurried to work, and finally arrived at the meeting room before his phone was blown off.Xing Chen always paid attention to his image, this was the first time he appeared in front of many colleagues with messy hair and a crumpled shirt.He smoked two packs of cigarettes in the waiting hall last night to refresh himself. His clothes got wet again this morning, and his clothes were warmed to dry on the way back. Now he has an inexplicable unpleasant smell on his body.He entered the meeting room, rolled up his sleeves, and smiled at the people present: "The car broke down on the way, and the image is not very good now, don't mind."

Last month, the province held an executive meeting, and the Provincial Health and Family Planning Commission issued a military order to improve the medical infrastructure in seven impoverished villages in the province within two years.After the National Day, each city began to implement it, and the leading group of the Health and Family Planning Commission of each city had to send one or two people to the grassroots to focus on this work.Although it is a hard job, it is a real political achievement if it is done well.

Today's meeting is to determine who among the five deputy directors will be in charge of this work.But in fact, on the day the notice was issued from the province, Xing Chen was the best candidate for the person in charge.In this meeting, he was actually asked to make a comprehensive work report. With the documents, it is easy to handle the next thing.

After the meeting, Xing Chen has to do a good job in the handover of work. He originally held several positions, but now he has another position, so he must hand over part of the work to his subordinates.Next Monday, he will be stationed in the countryside as the leader of the rural infrastructure inspection team.

Xing Chen was busy until one o'clock before he was free to go to the cafeteria to eat. He happened to meet several leaders who were late because of work. They beckoned Xing Chen to sit over, and Xing Chen sat next to them after eating.

Several leaders were discussing matters. After Xing Chen sat down, they continued to chat about the topic just now.

"Qiao Yiran's cousin was also taken away by the discipline inspection in July, and the court will be sentenced in a few days."

Of course, Xing Chen knew about the Qiao Yiran they were talking about. The former director of the Education Bureau of Ancheng City was imprisoned for taking bribes a few years ago. Later, he was involved in several crimes and was sentenced to 25 years in total.Xing Chen's father and this Director Qiao have never dealt with each other, and the two rarely interacted with each other. After Xing Chen was transferred back to Ancheng, he worked at the grassroots level for a few years, and he only met Qiao Yiran once in his memory.By the time he was promoted to the deputy director of the Health and Family Planning Commission, Qiao Yiran's party members, downgraded, downgraded, shuanggui, shuanggui, the name Qiao Yiran was no longer heard in the Ancheng government.

Xing Chen is not very interested in these old things, and now his mind is full of who will assign the work in his hand, and he will leave after eating a few mouthfuls.

I have been busy until ten o'clock in the evening, and today's work is considered to be over.Xing Chen came out of the unit, sat in the car and smelled his body, and thought that those colleagues who had been working by his side for most of the day today felt wronged.

The car passed by the Cultural Center, and a group of students who looked about [-] or [-] years old jumped down from the steps.They were wearing school uniforms, and the style of school uniforms was exactly the same as what Qiao Qianyan wore when he was in college.Xing Chen graduated early, and the school uniforms of their era were relatively loose and not good-looking.By Qiao Qianyan's time, all the boys' school uniforms were replaced by slim dark blue suits. The school uniform suits were not as stiff as business men's suits. The dark red stripes on the collar showed the vigor that only students have.After that charity event, Xing Chen met Qiao Qianyan a few more times, wearing such a suit once. At that time, Xing Chen had a lot of beautiful thoughts in his mind, but it was a pity that he saw Qiao Qianyan looking like a The proud little prince brought a few students to negotiate with a company that broke the contract, forcing them to continue sponsoring the activities of their student union.

At that time, Xing Chen wondered, how did Qiao Qianyan manage to switch freely among so many identities?How could he be full of energy no matter what the scene was?

Xing Chen slowed down the speed of the car, and the group of students walked towards him. The 20-year-old Qiao Qianyan clearly appeared in his mind.

Xing Chen took out his mobile phone, he suddenly wanted to hear Qiao Qianyan's voice.He was busy all day today, and his phone was turned on silent, only then did he find the text message Qiao Qianyan sent him in the morning: Have you arrived at work?

Xing Chen dialed it.After ringing for a long time, Qiao Qianyan's confused voice came from the opposite side: "Hello?"

Xing Chen: "Are you asleep?"

Qiao Qianyan was woken up in his sleep, his mind was in chaos, and his voice was very soft: "Yeah."

Xing Chen smiled lowly: "You seem to be acting like a baby when you talk like this."

Qiao Qianyan sat up from the bed, cleared his throat and said, "I haven't."

Xing Chen leaned on the driver's seat a little tiredly. He looked out the window, as if he saw 20-year-old Qiao Qianyan among the group of students, looking at him with raised eyes.

"Qianyan."

"Ok?"

"I miss you."

Qiao Qianyan felt a bit sad for such a straightforward love sentence. Xing Chen was not a gentleman in front of him. From time to time, he would say something beyond a safe distance, but it was always with a little frivolity and indecentness. , Qiao Qianyan basically didn't take it to heart, but this time it was very different.

Qiao Qianyan looked at the wall clock on the wall, and whispered: "It's very late, you should go to bed early, you are too tired today."

Xing Chen hung up the phone, he did not
