my editor seems sick

"It's been a long wait, dear."

When Ou Chen said these words, his arms were tightly locked on Mu Jie's shoulders, and his eyes were fixed on Guan Ju.

"Guan Sanpang, didn't you say that the old man has something to do with you?"

"Hmm." Guan Ju's eyes wandered between his hands on Mu Jie's shoulders and Mu Jie's astonished expression. "It turns out...it's yours, so why don't you say it earlier."

Guan Ju took a step back, as if he was still a little unwilling. "But Mu Jie, we still have to eat together, I owe it."

Mu Jie looked up at Ou Chen.

Ou Chen laughed with a "chi" sound. "Okay, then take me by the way, let you please me. I haven't seen you be so active before, but you are very attentive to A Jie, and you are in a hurry."

"Where is it?" Guan Ju laughed dryly, "Oh, it doesn't mean he doesn't like to be owed. Then, I'm leaving, and uncle is still waiting for me."

"Go slowly - don't see him off." Ou Chen raised his chin and watched him go away, "Tch."

Mu Jie tilted his head and looked at the hand on his shoulder. He didn't dare to break free, so he had to ask: "Mr. Ou, can you let go?"

"Ah." Ou Chen said, "It's okay, let's just leave it at that, in case he turns back."

Mu Jie: "..."

Ou Chen just hugged him and walked forward, Mu Jie said, "Is this okay?"

"Huh?" Ou Chen said, "Did you say San Fatty? It's okay. Although he is not a good character, he is not a big mouth either. Now he thinks you are my boyfriend, probably for a while No more thoughts."

"That's not the problem..." Mu Jie sighed, "Mr. Ou, you just said I'm your boyfriend so casually... Hey, forget it."

It is estimated that Ou Chen doesn't really care about this.

Sometimes Mu Jie can't figure out what his plan is, and he can't figure out what is the relationship between their current state. He feels that the whole person has no foothold. He knows that he can't go on like this, but he doesn't know what to do.

Ou Chen is his only ally, but he doesn't know if he is someone he can rely on.

This person is too casual, he does everything according to his own ideas, sometimes mature and sometimes childish, making it difficult to understand.

"What are you thinking about?" Ou Chen saw his serious face, and wanted to make him smile, "The frown is so frown that it can kill mosquitoes."

"It's nothing." Mu Jie didn't accept such a cold joke, "I was wondering, do rich people like rushing to invite people to dinner?"

Ou Chen: "..."

He coughed. "I am different from Guan Sanpang."

He said this so that he didn't have any confidence in his heart.

Is he different from Guan Ju?

"I said Jie." Lu Jiaming called on the other end of the phone, "Why haven't you responded to my messages these days, and you haven't called me back."

Mu Jie: "Didn't I call you back? I was too busy a few days ago and didn't take care of it."

"What are you busy with on May Day?" Lu Jiaming was very dissatisfied, "Busy on vacation?"

"..." Why did I forget that it was a holiday a few days ago, "It's just something, I can't care about looking at my phone."

"I haven't heard anything from you. I thought what's wrong with you... By the way, I just wanted to ask if you still want to find a house. I asked an intermediary for you, and they said that there are two suitable sets. The price It may be a little more expensive than where you live now."

Mu Jie was stunned: "Did you ask for me?"

"Yeah, didn't you mention it." Lu Jiaming said, "I'll ask that person to be careful."

"Thank you, Jiaming." Mu Jie's heart warmed up, "But recently... I found a new place."

"Really?" Lu Jiaming said, "It's a good thing."

Mu Jie turned over and lay on his side holding the phone: "I'm sorry, I made you bother to find it for me."

"Hi—" Lu Jiaming smiled, "What a big deal, how long have we known each other, why are you so polite."

"Isn't this a habit?" Mu Jie also smiled.

Lv Jiaming is one of his few friends. It is more accurate to say that they are friends, but in fact, they are friends in the circle.

Mu Jie doesn't mix circles, he met Lu Jiaming in a friend group, and the two happened to be in a university at that time, so they met.

Before the meeting, Mu Jie still had the fantasy of "could this be my future person", but after the meeting, he found out that the two of them were of the same model.

After that, the two still kept in touch, but not particularly close.In fact, Mu Jie didn't have any particularly close friends, and he kept a similar distance from everyone.

Except for Ou Chen who suddenly appeared now.

A person who completely subverted his imagination, who is not in his life plan, and who does not know whether he will continue to exist in the future.

"Where is the new residence you mentioned?" Lu Jiaming continued to ask, "Should I live alone or share with others."

"Live with colleagues from the company." Mu Jie felt that it was better not to tell Lu Jiaming about this, as there were too many things to explain, which was troublesome.

"Then when are we going to move?" Lu Jiaming said, "Do you need my help? But I'm on a two-week break now, so I have to pick a good day and auspicious day. When we are all free... Lujiang won't have overtime work, right?"

Mu Jie got up from the bed, walked to the window, and watched the night scene outside through the screen window.In the community, some residents walk and chat in twos and threes, walk their dogs, play around, and sit together to talk nonsense.

It's all about the comfort of life shrouded in darkness.

"It's okay, I've almost moved here, and now I'm just getting used to it."

"I'm looking for a new job and living in a new house." Lu Jiaming said with a smile, "Should I have a treat to celebrate?"

"I'm so poor that I'm going to touch porcelain on the street." Mu Jie refused, "I have to wait until I'm more stable."

"That's right." Lu Jiaming said, "If you want me to say, you should find a boyfriend. Two people are better than wandering alone."

"Looking for a boyfriend..." Mu Jie smiled and turned around, "Looking for you?"

Then he met Ou Chen at the door.

Mu Jie: "..."

Ou Chen: "..."

Lu Jiaming responded on the other end of the phone: "It's okay to find me, let's come to Plato to fall in love, and we will never break up for the rest of our lives....Hey, Mu Jiejie, Jiejie? Are you listening?...Hello?"

"I'll talk to you later." Mu Jie hung up the phone, "Boss Ou, you haven't slept yet."

"I didn't eavesdrop on purpose." Ou Chen said, "I have something to do with you. While you are normal now, match me with some clothes."

Mu Jie said "You seem to be kidding me": "Mr. Ou, are you serious?"

"Of course." Ou Chen took his hand, "Okay, don't ask, just find a normal one for me and I'll choose it myself."

Mu Jie looked at the hand that was pulling him forward, and forgot to break free for a moment.

He shook hands involuntarily.

This seems to be the first time Mu Jie looked at Ou Chen's wardrobe with normal eyesight.

Most of the black clothes I usually see are dark, but the green clothes I usually see are black.

At this moment, he didn't even have to suffer from choice phobia. He chose two sets that looked more reliable and put them together separately.

"It's the first time I've seen someone who can collect all the colors of the rainbow in their closet." Mu Jie smiled while tidying up, "I can summon the dragon."

Au Chen shrugged.

"Didn't anyone give you any advice when you bought these?" Mu Jie felt strange, "There will always be someone who thinks something is wrong?"

"I didn't buy the clothes." Ou Chen lay on his back halfway on the bed, "I know a friend who is a designer, and he provided all the clothes, saying that I share his aesthetics."

Mu Jie: "..."

How strange is the aesthetic similar to Ou Chen's? Is this kind of person really a man to be a designer?

"If we don't change our bodies tomorrow, why don't we take some time to go shopping?" Mu Jie said, "You basically don't have white shirts here."

"It probably won't work tomorrow, I have to go home." Ou Chen said, "My mother called today to complain that I didn't go back to see her recently, and her ears are almost getting callused."

"Really." Mu Jie said, "Then there is a chance next time."

Ou Chen looked at his back, his heart moved for no reason.

"Mu Jie."

"Ah?" Mu Jie responded.

"I felt it the first time I saw you." Ou Chen said, "Everyone you see is like this. You don't warm up to anyone, and you don't neglect anyone. It seems that you get along with everyone, but in your heart you don't care about anyone. .”

Mu Jie's movements stopped.Sitting opposite him, Ou Chen couldn't see his expression.

"When I was with you, Lu Jiaming and no one else looked for me." Ou Chen stood up and walked to Mu Jie, "You always seem to be alone, don't you feel uncomfortable being alone?"

Mu Jie lowered his head, fiddled with Ou Chen's shirt sleeves. "It's okay, I've been like this since I was a child, and I'm used to it."

"Since childhood?" Ou Chen asked.

Mu Jie: "Well, I am an orphan and grew up in an orphanage."

Ou Chen suddenly regretted asking those words just now. "Sorry, I don't know..."

"It's okay, it's been a long time." Mu Jie smiled, "Actually, the fear of choosing things now is also left at that time. Because I didn't like to talk, I didn't fit in with others, and my health was worse than others. So every time If there are any gifts, benefits, new clothes or anything, someone else took them first and left me a copy. After a long time, I got used to being the last one, because there is no choice, now let me choose something I'm not used to it."

Listening to him calmly talking about the past, Ou Chen felt pain in his heart, and unconsciously put his arms around Mu Jie's shoulders, and hugged him gently.

I was still immersed in the memory and didn't have time to come back to my senses Mu Jie: "...Mr. Ou?"

"Suddenly want to hug you." Ou Chen stroked his hair casually, "I'm sorry."

"Pfft..." Mu Jie's original feeling of regret disappeared in an instant, and it couldn't be said to be gone, but turned into another strange feeling that was a little sour, a little warm, and a little soft.

"Why didn't anyone adopt you?" Ou Chen still hugged him, "You look so good."

"Maybe it was because I was afraid of people at that time." Mu Jie said, "Every time someone came, other children rushed to go outside to see it, but I didn't dare. It might also be because my health was so poor that no one wanted to adopt it. Unhealthy child."

These words made Ou Chen's heart hurt even more, he couldn't feel Mu Jie's state of mind when he was a child, but he could imagine the despair of being alone and not being understood.

He hugged a little tighter.

"Okay, Mr. Ou." Mu Jie said with a smile, "I'm going to die if I hold him any longer."

Ou Chen had no choice but to let him go.The distance between the two is very close, and the atmosphere is also very ambiguous.Mu Jie coughed, turned his head in embarrassment, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Ou Chen sat beside him.

"Later when I grew up, when I was in junior high school." Mu Jie said, "At that time, I felt that the world was very unfair to me. I was still enshrined behind the orphanage in a place where I don't know if it is the land god or what kind of god. Just make a wish to be the child of a carefree and rich family in the next life. Thinking about it now, it is too naive..."

"Wait, wait, wait, say it again."

Mu Jie: "Now that I think about it, I'm really naive..."

Ou Chen: "No, let's say the first sentence."

"In the next life, I want to be a carefree and rich family..." Mu Jie paused, then looked at Ou Chen in disbelief, "No way?"
