scapegoat

Xiao Yang felt in a daze that it was already bright outside, and he was too embarrassed to stay in bed because he was out to play, so he could only reluctantly open his eyes.

Turning his head, the other bed separated from him by a large wooden cabinet was empty.

The room was quiet, except for the chirping of sparrows outside, only the sound of Xiao Yang's own breathing was left.

Xiao Yang took out his mobile phone to check, and it was almost 11:[-] noon.

At this time, there was a sound of taking a key to open the door.After a while the door opened, and it was Lang Zhongming who came in carrying several bags of fruits and pastries.

"Are you awake? I saw you were sleeping well, so I didn't call you. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"

There was concern and a hint of tenderness in Lang Zhongming's voice.

Xiao Yang shook his head and got up to wash up.

After packing up his things, Lang Zhongming leaned against the door of the bathroom, and said unintentionally: "It's good to come out to play once in a while."

Xiao Yang was brushing his teeth and looked up at him.

Lang Zhongming cautiously probed: "Will you come again next time?"

Xiao Yang spit out the foam in his mouth: "If you have time."

Meeting friends during the holidays and picking a place that is not too far away is a way of life that Xiao Yang envisioned when he was in college.

Unfortunately, it took ten years to realize it.

"Oh...Xiao Yang..."

Xiao Yang looked at Lang Zhongming suspiciously.

"Since when... have you disliked me?"

Xiao Yang was speechless, and always felt that such a topic seemed stupid to put it on the bright side—it wasn't a primary school student's love affair.

"After you clearly refuse...you still said I was disgusting at that time."

Lang Zhongming's heart tightened, and it felt like a present newspaper.

Xiao Yang covered his face with a hot towel: "When Auntie just left, I thought you were quite pitiful. At that time, I thought we could only be friends in the future."

In the end, I didn't expect that I couldn't even make friends later.

Lang Zhongming remained silent, his at a loss look not at all like the biggest real estate developer in City C.

He has never had anything to be proud of in front of Xiao Yang. All his cowardice, viciousness, and shame have been laid out in the sun by himself, and there is nowhere to hide.

Everyone can feel Xiao Yang's uncertainty about his new life in the future, but it is rare to see that Lang Zhongming is also uneasy.

Xiao Yang tidied himself up, then took a serious look at Lang Zhongming, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Lang Zhongming lowered his voice and said, "I was wondering... do you think I'm disgusting now..."

Xiao Yang's expression remained unchanged: "When I first came back, I really lost my appetite when I saw you."

Lang Zhongming coughed twice in embarrassment.Although I had already guessed that this would be the case, it was still hard to hear him say it.

Xiao Yang went on to say, "But now...at least I don't hate seeing your face."

Lang Zhongming was stunned, and suddenly a strong pull brought Xiao Yang into his arms.

Although it was a slight progress, he also felt that it was rare.

Probably because he noticed Lang Zhongming's rare fragility, Xiao Yang didn't resist and just let him hold him.But Lang Zhongming still clearly felt the restraint and stiffness of the man in his arms.

He's still not used to it.

Lang Zhongming finally took a deep breath of Xiao Yang's smell, then let go of his hand and stepped back.

He knows that many things cannot be rushed, and he has to try slowly.He can't be in a hurry.

The next day's itinerary was relatively easy. A group of four strolled slowly along the river, then found a teahouse, sat on the roof with tables and chairs, drank tea and chatted.

After lunch, they walked around the missing alleys before returning home with a bunch of special products and souvenirs.

On the car ride back, Molly found a new way to whisper.

Xiao Yang felt the phone in his pocket vibrate, and took it out to see that it was Molly's message: "I heard that Lang Zhongming is very good at that, you have to be careful, and have anti-wolf spray with you. But if you want it yourself It's another story."

Xiao Yang rolled his eyes, not knowing what to say.He remembered that girls ten years ago didn't have this style of painting...

After a while, Molly's news came again: "So who is on the top of you? Couldn't it be the same? I don't believe he can bear it!"

Xiao Yang stared at the gazes from around him, and typed helplessly to reply: "I won't have sex with him."

Molly propped her head and stared at the screen for a long time, then typed again: "Are you a little afraid of this?"

Xiao Yang really didn't experience any joy from this incident, so when he mentions it now, he reflexively rejects it.

Without waiting for his reply, Molly sent another new message: "Actually, I think it's quite happy to be with someone who loves me. Only in this kind of thing can I intuitively feel the kind of particularly strong love. It's definitely a great satisfaction. Really don't try it?"

Xiao Yang paused for three seconds, then replied angrily: "Speak! What benefits did Lang Zhongming give you?"

Molly stuck out her tongue at him, and made a hand gesture to Lang Zhongming in front.

Xiao Yang's face turned blue with anger, he gave Lang Zhongming a hard look, then turned his head and ignored everyone.

Lang Zhongming is so obsessed with this, isn't it just an itch in his heart?Why doesn't he go to someone else?As far as his level is concerned, you can find someone who is willing without spending money, and you can find someone with high skills if you spend money, so why waste it on him?

When Xiao Yang thought of that kind of thing, his heart would tremble, even if he became more open-minded, he still couldn't accept it.Even now that he finds a partner who can be with him for life, he may not be able to adapt to bed/bed life for a while.

What's more, the person who is doing X enlightenment education by his ear all day long is Lang Zhongming.

Everyone's ideas and cognitions on some things have changed dramatically within a few years. Although he started ten years later than others, he can slowly accept it.

But in this matter, no matter who the object is, he can't adapt too quickly.

On Sunday night, the four of them returned to the urban area, gathered for a meal, and then dispersed.

Lang Zhongming and Xiao Yang returned home.

It was still early at this time, and Lang Zhongming warmed up two cups of milk, drinking it before going to bed would help him sleep.

Sitting at the dinner table, the two avoided the embarrassing topic just now, and only chatted about what they saw and heard on the road.

Most of Xiao Yang's anger disappeared at the moment.

He thought, if Lang Zhongming dared to do something too extreme to him, he would really punch him.If Lang Zhongming was just probing around, then at most he would give him a blank stare.

With a way to deal with it, Xiao Yang became more calm, with an expression of "whatever you say, I'll ignore you anyway".

Lang Zhongming didn't dare to touch his nilin casually, so he lured Xiao Yang into talking with a husky-like smirk.

However, they were all tired after walking for two days, and they had to go to work the next day. No matter how harmonious the atmosphere was, Lang Zhongming didn't dare to keep chatting.

"Take a shower in a while and go to rest early. There are a lot of things to deal with tomorrow."

Xiao Yang nodded, got up and went back to his room.

Monday is the time for several departments to hold weekly meetings, and there will be a lot of people asking for information and documents. Although there is an extra Tang Qing at Xiao Yang's place, he himself will still be busy.

Xiao Yang took a shower and stuffed himself into the soft quilt.The mattress underneath was simply smoked by Xiaofeng with aromatherapy for soothing the nerves, with a faint aroma.The heating in the room is fully turned on, even if you open your hands and feet, it will not be cold.

On the small table not far away, there is a backpack that is stuffed to the brim, and the pastries and small objects of the ancient town in it have not had time to be taken out and arranged.

Thinking about these things now, they are really like a dream.

Xiao Yang's mind was filled with various thoughts, and finally he went to Duke Zhou in a daze amidst the warmth and fragrance of the room.

Early the next morning, Xiao Yang picked two boxes of beautifully packaged pastries and took them to Tang Qing. It was the first time in his history that he, as a leader, gave benefits.

Xiao Yang didn't understand these things. It was Lang Zhongming who came to remind him early in the morning, and he realized that he should bring some travel souvenirs for his subordinates.

As soon as he arrived at the office, he saw another thing that surprised him: Asparagus bamboo branched out.

The tiny buds are dyed with emerald green. Although they are not strong yet, the new energy has almost surpassed everything in the entire reference room.

Even Lang Zhongming noticed it at first glance, and walked over to watch it carefully.

Xiao Yang tilted his mouth slightly and sprayed it with water, his good mood for the past few days was written all over his face.

He no longer has to live with his emotions, or look at the calendar with palpitations at the thought of tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yang took the initiative to knock on Lang Zhongming's chat window.

"I have made some optimizations to the data system, do you want to try it?"

Lang Zhongming replied "Come here" in seconds, and then Xiao Yang heard the sound of the door of the opposite office opening.

Tang Qing turned to Xiao Yang with a smile, and said, "Director Xiao, I think Mr. Ling runs to you the most diligently."

Xiao Yang: "..."

Lang Zhongming knocked on the door and came in, took the list that Xiao Yang was looking for, and tried it himself.

The door of the reference room was not closed, and when everyone passed by and saw Mr. Ling inside, they always had to look sideways.

As a result, many people gathered around to watch some amazing scenes.

For example, Director Xiao of the Information Department was furious and knocked on the head of Mr. Ling with a folder: "You are sick! Put the documents from C3 into A5!"

Or use the mobile phone to hammer Mr. Ling on the back: "Did you see the corners are warped? Flatten it and put it in!"

Or take a ballpoint pen and poke at Boss Lang's upper arm: "When you pick up one by one, I don't know if you will turn to the year of the monkey and the month of the monkey. Will you count the banknotes? Turn over the corner and look at the label! Did I make the label for nothing? ?”

After finally finding all the documents he was looking for, Lang Zhongming's stalwart image has also collapsed.

But he still finds it quite enjoyable? ? ?

"It's really convenient, but you have to teach me the sequence and precautions again, otherwise I will keep forgetting."

Lang Zhongming spoke meekly and modestly, but Xiao Yang, who was full of anger, felt embarrassed.

"Let me sort it out and summarize it."

On that day, everyone in the company felt that Director Xiao in the reference room had a particularly hot temper today, and he would get angry at every turn.

But Lang Zhongming was very happy.

He knew that Xiao Yang was just embarrassed.Just now he praised Xiao Yang in the company's large group, which probably really hit his weakness.

It is true that Xiao Yang was so angry because he made him feel uneasy. He became angry from embarrassment, but also a little proud.

This data system is his painstaking effort, and being recognized by users is probably its greatest value.
