Zhou Jiao bought dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and the two of them nestled on the sofa, bought a few cans of beer, a plate of dumplings, and some takeaway dishes.The Spring Festival Gala on TV seemed to be the same as it was ten years ago. Zhou Jiao curled up in Yan Shu's arms, feeling very warm.

When it was zero o'clock, fireworks exploded outside the window, and pinches of bright and colorful light beams dazzled the eyes.They leaned together, Zhou Jiao held Yan Shu's hand, feeling slightly drunk, fell asleep little by little.

Zhou Jiao goes to work on the eighth day of the eighth day, and their studio starts at nine o'clock, and there is no clock in. Employees who work overtime late can sleep until ten o'clock before coming back.

Zhou Jiao slept until ten o'clock on the first day of work, until his cell phone rang, and his face was still buried in Yan Shu's chest, unwilling to get up.

The mobile phone was placed on the table beside the bed, Yan Shu took it over, connected it directly, then picked up Zhou Jiao's head, and stuck the mobile phone to his ear.

"Hello..." Zhou Jiao's voice was lazy.

Zou Qi on the other end was taken aback, and his voice involuntarily became lighter: "Director Zhou, are you still awake? We have a meeting at 10:30."

Zhou Jiao's eyelids moved, his lips parted slightly, and he didn't know what to say.Zou Qi asked a few more times on the phone, but Zhou Jiao didn't reply, and his tone sounded a little anxious.Yan Shu took the phone and said in a low voice, "Zhou Jiao will be here soon."

The phone hung up, and there were a few "beeps", and Zou Qi looked blankly at the gradually dimming phone screen.

After speaking, Yan Shu threw the phone aside, lifted the quilt to pick up Zhou Jiao.Like a child, Zhou Jiao was held in his arms and brought into the bathroom.

In the narrow and cramped bathing space, Zhou Jiao was sleepy, half lying on Yan Shu's shoulder.He heard the sound of running water, felt a puff of hot air, and then his face was wet. A warm towel brushed his cheeks and covered his eyelids which could not be opened. He let out a "huh" and called his brother , the voice is lazy.

"Are you awake?" Yan Shu asked him.

Zhou Jiao shook his head, he pulled away Yan Shu's hand, turned around slowly, took off his pants, put his hands on the wall, turned his head to look at Yan Shu, and said, "You have to do this to wake me up."

Zhou Jiao still missed the morning meeting in the end, and it was past eleven o'clock when he arrived.There are a lot of things in the studio, and he has to deal with several game problems.

As soon as he arrived at the office, Zou Qi went over with a computer and put the results of the meeting, which Zou Qi reported to Zhou Jiao.

Zhou Jiao asked him to sit on the sofa for a while, took off his coat, and went to fetch another glass of water.Zou Qi's eyes wandered as Zhou Jiao walked. Zhou Jiao was wearing a black sweater with a high collar today, wrapped around his snow-white neck, with red cheekbones and red lips.

The whole person seems to be energetic all of a sudden, much brighter than before.

"You say it."

Zhou Jiao sat back in his seat and glanced at Zou Qi who was still in a daze.

Zou Qi said "Oh" twice, and began to report the contents of the morning meeting.

The temperature of the central air conditioner is too high, and the office is a bit hot.Zhou Jiao didn't pay attention, and pulled the collar around his neck.

Zou Qi was looking at him, and then his eyes changed, and he saw mottled hickey marks on that snowy neck, full of possessiveness.

Zou Qi suddenly got stuck, and inexplicably popped out a sentence, "Director Zhou, are you in love?"

Zhou Jiao was stunned. He covered his face with his hands, blinked slightly, and looked sideways at Zou Qi. There was no offended expression on his face. Instead, he said, "Is it that obvious?"

Zou Qi lowered his head, stared at the computer screen in a daze, stayed there for a few seconds, then raised his head and said with a smile: "Yes, Director Zhou, you almost put love on your face."

Zhou Jiao raised the corners of his mouth, which was his default.

Zou Qi didn't even know how his subsequent report was going to be. He came out of the director's office and sat back on the chair.Seeing his distraught look, the colleagues around him took the initiative to lean over and patted him on the shoulder, "What's wrong with you? Your face is so pale?"

Zou Qi shook his head and said in a daze, "It's nothing."

They had lunch at 11:30, and the colleagues in the office ordered takeaway, so Zou Qi asked Director Zhou if he wanted to come together.Zou Qi evaded and asked his colleague to ask, but the colleague was surprised, "Don't you usually like to call Director Zhou the most?"

"I'm a little tired today." Zou Qi and the others were talking when they saw Zhou Jiao come out of the office, and he was on the phone while wearing his coat.

A colleague called Zhou Jiao, "Director, do you want to have lunch together?"

Zhou Jiao took the phone away and shook his head, "No, I have an appointment for dinner with my friend."

Zhou Jiao hurried out, pressed the elevator, and when he reached the first floor, he saw Yan Shu standing under the banyan tree on the side of the road.

Zhou Jiao put away his mobile phone, with a smile on his face, he trotted towards Yan Shu, and crossed the road on the zebra crossing.Yan Shu took a few steps forward, pressed his hand to signal him not to run so fast.

Zhou Jiao seemed to have a rabbit in his heart, and jumped up to Yan Shu, who called his brother.Yan Shu lowered his head and gently rubbed his hair with his hands.

"Is it hard to find here?" Zhou Jiao sent Yan Shu the address of the studio just now, fearing that he could not find it.

Yan Shu shook his head, "It's not hard to find."

Zhou Jiao asked again: "I came out in a hurry, have you had breakfast?"

"Eat." Yan Shu paused, then smiled, "Use the pocket money you gave me."

Speaking of this, Zhou Jiao asked: "Is there enough money? I don't have much cash. I'll go to the bank to get some later."

"Enough, I'm enough." Yan Shu put his hands in his pockets.

Zhou Jiao couldn't hold his hand anymore, so he could only retract it silently into his sleeve.

Some shops near the park hadn’t opened yet, so they found a place to eat rice noodles, Zhou Jiao ordered a tomato and beef dish, and Yan Shu ordered a signature cross-bridge rice noodle.The tomato was a bit spicy, and Zhou Jiao's face was sweating after taking a few mouthfuls. Yan Shu pulled a piece of paper for him, but Zhou Jiao didn't reach out, but moved his face closer and said with a smile, "Brother, wipe it for me."

The white tissue wiped Zhou Jiao's cheeks, rubbed along the fine sweat on the forehead, then went down the contour of the face, and finally settled on his lips, rubbing his fingers through the thin tissue, they looked at each other, and Zhou Jiao kissed tentatively Kissed Yan Shu's fingertips.

Yan Shu withdrew his hand, turned his head to look aside, and said, "Is there someone you know over there? He has been watching us since just now."

Zhou Jiao turned his head and heard "Hello Director" a few times. He straightened his back and smiled back, "Hi, you."

A few colleagues from the studio also just arrived, they didn't expect to see Zhou Jiao, the one at the front smiled and said, "What a coincidence, Director Zhou, can we fight for a spot?"

Zhou Jiao glanced at Yan Shu, and then agreed.

There were not enough seats in the rice noodle shop, there were still two vacant seats at Zhou Jiao's table, they came over and put together a table next to them.Zou Qi walked last, and when he reached him, there was only one place next to Zhou Jiao.He sat down next to Zhou Jiao, and Zhou Jiao whipped out a pair of chopsticks for him, and he thanked him in a low voice.

There were so many more people all of a sudden, Zhou Jiao felt a little uncomfortable.He squeezed the chopsticks, the rice noodles slipped down from between the chopsticks, scooped it up a few times, and handed over a spoon beside him.Zou Qi looked at him nervously, his throat was dry, "Director Zhou, it's more convenient to use this."

After Zhou Jiao had a meal, his mouth turned red after eating the spicy food. He said thank you, and was about to take it when there was an extra spoon in the bowl.

Yan Shu withdrew his hand, Zou Qi glanced at him twice, but there was no expression on his face.

They had an hour and a half lunch break, Zhou Jiao and the others came first, and left after eating.Coming out of the shop, Yan Shu walked beside Zhou Jiao.

The cold wind was blowing, Yan Shu asked him if he was cold.Zhou Jiao shook his head, "I ate hot food just now, but it's not too cold now."

"What time do you go to work in the afternoon?"

"a little."

Yan Shu nodded, and suddenly said, "A colleague sitting next to you just now likes you."

Zhou Jiao staggered and almost fell.Yan Shu held his shoulders, straightened him, and pulled him to the inner side of the road.

"No way." Zhou Jiao looked blank.

Yan Shu took two steps forward to block the cold wind, and said to Zhou Jiao, "He peeked at you fifteen times during the meal just now."

Zhou Jiao slowly came back to his senses, with a smile in his eyes, and half-truth and half-fake teasing: "Didn't that brother also peep at me fifteen times?"

After Yan Shu heard this, there was no hint of a joke on his face, he seemed to be remembering, thought about it seriously and said: "No, I peeked at you hundreds of times."

Yan Shu showed a slight smile on his face, "I have been peeping at you while I was studying, watching you sleep in class, watching you spend 10 minutes to finish a test paper, watching you slacking off in physical education class, watching you go to the back door to get water. After drinking it in one breath, I have been peeking at you, probably more than a hundred times."

Zhou Jiao was stunned, and whatever he wanted to say was stuck in his throat.Yan Shu's understatement made him almost choke up, and he felt very sour in his heart.

After being silent for a long time, he couldn't hold back a word.

Yan Shu sent him back to the studio, and when he walked downstairs, Zhou Jiao said to him, "I get off work at six, but I might get off work. If you're hungry, go eat first."

Yan Shu said yes, and Zhou Jiao said, "Give me your phone."

"What's wrong?" Yan Shu handed him the phone.Zhou Jiao directly bound his bank card with his mobile phone, and he showed Yan Shu a demonstration, "I forgot, you can pay with your mobile phone, I tied my salary card, brother, what do you want?" Just buy whatever, I’ve worked for a few years, and I don’t spend much, it’s all stored in it.”

Yan Shu was stunned, Zhou Jiao didn't look at his expression, put his head down and put the phone into Yan Shu's hand directly after speaking, and then trotted into the building before Yan Shu could react.

Yan Shu stood where he was, looking at Zhou Jiao's tall and thin back. The kid with bad motor cells was not good in childhood. Now that he has grown up, he still stumbles when he runs, like a little quail.He couldn't help laughing, until Zhou Jiao walked into the elevator and completely disappeared from his sight, the smile on his lips disappeared little by little.

Yan Shu turned around, lifted the brim of his hat, put his hands in his coat pockets, and walked with his head down in the cold wind.

Zou Qi and the others happened to be back, and several colleagues saw the man who had lunch with Director Zhou just now.I went up to say hello, but I saw the other party pass by without saying a word, with big strides, and the faint citrus smell drifted away with the wind.

"It's quite proud." I don't know who laughed.

Then someone said, "Weird people, strange friends, we share the same taste."

Zou Qi frowned, "Don't say that, Director Zhou has been helping us."

"I didn't say anything to him, why did you react so strongly?"

Zou Qi was choked, and he couldn't speak, so he blushed instantly.

Yan Shu, who had walked a few steps, stopped and turned to look at them.

The elevator just came, and several people walked into the elevator.

Zhou Jiao said he was off work, so he really added it up to nine o'clock.As soon as he writes the program, he tends to forget the time. Yan Shu sent him two messages, but he didn't see them.

It wasn't until I finished the program and picked up my phone to look at it that I saw Yan Shu's message.It was posted three hours ago, Yan Shu said, waiting downstairs for him to get off work.

Zhou Jiao saved the data, turned off the computer, grabbed his coat and ran outside.There were still several colleagues in the office area on the entire floor, and when they saw him come out, they all said goodbye to him.Zhou Jiao had no time to think about it, nodded hurriedly, and called Yan Shu with his mobile phone.

No one answered Yan Shu's cell phone, Zhou Jiao was anxious.The elevator went down floor by floor, and when it reached the first floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, Zhou Jiao rushed out.

After going out for a few steps, I saw a person sitting on the sofa in the lobby on the ground floor of the office building, with his arms folded, his back leaning against the sofa, his chin raised slightly, and he was asleep.

Zhou Jiao breathed slowly, stood on tiptoes, and tried not to make a sound.He walked slowly towards Yan Shu, and before he got closer to one meter, Yan Shu opened his eyes and stared straight at Zhou Jiao.

"Are you off work?" Yan Shu must have fallen asleep, and his voice became hoarse from the sleep.

"Well, there is a program written on it, and I forgot the time." Zhou Jiao handed Yan Shu, "Go home, or go out to eat."

"Go home and eat, I've prepared the dishes, just heat them up."

Zhou Jiao was surprised, "You can still cook?"

"It's nothing." Yan Shu said: "When I was in prison, I stayed in the cafeteria inside for a while, and helped me."

Yan Shu's tone of voice and demeanor were quite natural, but Zhou Jiao was not. His expression was frozen, and cold sweat broke out in his palms.Yan Shu noticed the change in him and didn't point it out.

The two walked back to the apartment building side by side, when Yan Shu's cell phone rang on the way.Zhou Jiao watched him get on the phone, said a few words casually, told the other party not to worry, with a relaxed expression and a familiar tone.

Zhou Jiao felt strange, he didn't know what other friends Yan Shu had made after he came out.After Yan Shu ended the call, he couldn't wait to ask: "Who is it?"

Yan Shu put away his phone, and said in a calm tone, "A cellmate, he took good care of me before."

"Is he out too?"

"No, he called me inside. He couldn't get out and was sentenced to life."

Zhou Jiao was stunned for a moment, and still wanted to ask, but Yan Shu said, "Here we are."

Zhou Jiao paused his thoughts, tentatively touched the back of Yan Shu's hand with his fingers, and within a few strokes, Yan Shu grabbed it directly.Zhou Jiao exhaled inwardly, looked up at Yan Shu, and said hesitantly, "Brother, did I bother you just now?"

"Why do you say that?"

"Because I seem to be asking something you don't want to answer."

"It's not annoying."

"If I say something wrong in the future, you have to tell me."

"You don't need to do this." Yan Shu paused and continued walking.

Zhou Jiao followed behind, lowered his head and locked the hands that were clasped with Yan Shu.

He said: "Yes, I haven't talked to anyone for a long time, unlike before, my mouth seems to be very stupid now."

Yan Shu smiled and turned around, "You didn't know how to speak when you were young, and you always pissed me off."

"Ah? Is there any?"

"You didn't care much about me at that time, so you didn't think I was angry." Yan Shu said that, but also unintentionally.

Zhou Jiao's eyes suddenly turned red, and he took off his clenched hand and stood still.Yan Shu was taken aback for a moment, then stopped, and Zhou Jiao whispered, "The one I care about, you are the one I care about the most."

Those who make sacrifices do not know that those who are left to be saved are the ones who suffer the most.
