Chapter 16 Keep Your Distance

In fact, Chi Yun's first reaction was that there was a system failure in WeChat.

He saw that the unsent good night was followed by a striking red exclamation mark, and sent another sentence: good night.

This time there is no moon emoji, and it still hasn't been sent out.

Chi Yun pulled down the WeChat dialog box, and the next one was Zhao Jiayin's WeChat message asking him what he had for dinner, and he typed slowly to reply: buckwheat noodles.

Sent successfully.

Zhao Jiayin replied quickly. She sent a voice message, first saying not to eat cold food all the time, and then telling Chi Yun to go to bed early and stop playing with her mobile phone.

Chi Yun stared at a small piece of striped quilt exposed at the corner of the bed, and was stunned for a long time before realizing that there was no system failure, and it was Ye Wangning who blocked him.

Why?Mingming Ye Wangning was still in a good mood when he came home today.

During the time in a daze, Chi Yun thought of countless possibilities, rather than directly knocking on Ye Wangning's door and asking Ye Wangning "why", he was more inclined that he did something wrong unintentionally.

So Chi Yun resent the friend verification request, and he carefully asked in the reason for the application: Are you unhappy?

Day one, day two, day three.

Chi Yun waited for a total of three days.

Ye Wangning didn't reply, let alone approve Chi Yun's friend request.He changed his profile picture to a side profile that was lost in the light and shadow, and he couldn't see his facial features clearly.

On the third day, Chi Yun knew that Ye Wangning would not reply again.He belatedly thought of the wealth management app, logged in and took a look, only to find that all the money had been withdrawn.

The ice cubes in the glass melted and slid down the glass wall, turning into a transparent layer of water vapor.

The office was filled with the endless sound of typing on the keyboard. Amidst the sound of keystrokes, Chi Yun began to think about a very meaningless question.

Did Ye Wangning add his WeChat by accident first, or did Ye Wangning add his WeChat for the purpose of cheating.

To put it simply, this question is nothing more than that there is a cause first, and then the result, or the cause is for the result.

The outcome of thinking is not important anymore, so Chi Yun only wasted half an afternoon on this issue and stopped thinking about it.

No longer thinking about this issue does not mean not caring, Chi Yun began to consciously hide from Ye Wangning.

He also didn't understand why he did this. The wisest choice would be to report the case to the Public Security Bureau immediately.It only takes five stops from the company to the nearest public security bureau, and it takes less than 10 minutes by taxi.

But Chi Yun always remembered some episodes, such as Ye Wangning called him baby on WeChat, and the first time he privately messaged him on Netease Cloud, said "so fate".

There are more profound ones, the first time I went to the hospital, the first kiss, the moment when I looked at each other at the music festival.

Like the repeated screenings in a movie theater, these clips are also played repeatedly in Chi Yun's mind. At the end of the broadcast, he can recall them with his eyes closed, and there is no way to play them again.

His throbbing and heartbeat are clearly real, but Ye Wangning is not.

So in a blink of an eye it became a mirage again, nothing.

It is very difficult to avoid meeting Ye Wangning.

Their work and rest hours are similar, and they usually go out at the same time in the morning, not to mention having to exchange breakfast and dinner.

Chi Yun's first decision was to cancel the breakfast and dinner exchange. This agreement was a tacit agreement that no one had ever spoken about, so the cancellation was a matter of course.

On the morning of the fourth day, he left a post-it note for Ye Wangning, and posted it on the most conspicuous place on the coffee table, saying that he had to work overtime recently, and he had no time to prepare dinner for the time being, and he didn't need breakfast.

Chi Yun didn't know what Ye Wangning's reaction was when he saw the post-it note, he only knew that Ye Wangning knocked on his door that night.

He buried half of his face in the quilt, and his eyes fell on the door.

Probably thinking that Chi Yun had really fallen asleep, Ye Wangning only knocked a few times before leaving.

On Sunday night, Chi Yun went to the exhibition hall.

When he received the email from the exhibition hall, he was in a daze at the passers-by in the cafe.

In order to avoid Ye Wangning, Chi Yun had to go out early and return late on weekends.

An address was sent in the email. The sender was the person in charge of the exhibition hall. The other party claimed that the first public exhibition would open in mid-September. Before that, he was invited to visit the exhibition hall.

Chi Yun happily went to the appointment.

The exhibition hall is located in the south of the city. Due to the nature of the private exhibition hall, the scale is not too large.

The first floor is the public display area, divided into two areas by a long corridor of white marble.The second floor is a private and exclusive exhibition area. Chi Yun briefly visited the first floor, and was politely led to the second floor by the receptionist.

Compared with the exhibition area, the second floor is more intuitive. It is better to say that it is a reception lounge. The decoration style is completely different from the pure white on the first floor, and the exhibits that are placed randomly and left blank are obviously more beautiful than the art exhibition on the first floor. interesting.

The back of a person sitting on the beige sofa was facing Chi Yun, as if he heard the sound of him going up the stairs, that person turned his head.

It was a handsome, older man with an empty goblet between his fingers.

Chi Yun watched the goblet hang precariously in the air, inexplicably worried that it would fall.

While in a trance, the other party said, "Hi, I'm Xu Shengze."

Chi Yun came to his senses and said, "Hello, my name is Chi Yun."

"I know," the man named Xu Shengze smiled. He seemed to have known Chi Yun's purpose for a long time, "I sent you an email, inviting you to visit."

Xu Shengze stood up and walked towards the stairs. Only then did Chi Yun realize that he was very tall, so he followed him two steps unconsciously, and heard the other party's deep chuckle:

"Let's go, I'll show you around."

Because the exhibits are not yet complete, it only took more than 20 minutes to visit from the second floor to the first floor.

Chi Yun's painting is in the right area on the first floor of the exhibition hall. In the painting is a sea horizon and circling gulls.Chi Yun's name and Hua's name are marked below.

They stopped in front of the painting, and Xu Shengze said, "The theme of the first exhibition is the four seasons."

Chi Yun looked down intently all the way, and also noticed this detail. The paintings around him are mainly in bright style, obviously either spring or summer.

He suddenly saw a painting on the right, which painted a leaf, but the leaf did not grow from the soil, but from the clouds.

The artist's name is also marked below, a string of French.

But Chi Yun stared at the name of the painting for a while.

Feuille.

"Feuille, which means Leaf in French," Xu Shengze walked to his side and said, "This is the work of a French painter. I translate the name of this painting as Garden of One Leaf."

Chi Yun stared blankly at the painting, only hearing the first half of the words.

Xu Shengze said that Feuille means Leaf in French.

It took an hour to travel from the south of the city to home. At the end, Xu Shengze offered to send Chi Yun home, but Chi Yun refused, so Xu Shengze settled for the next best thing and offered to exchange WeChat.

It was past eight o'clock when we got home. Chi Yun finished adding cat food to his sister and went to take a bath. In the foggy bathroom, he stared at himself in the mirror in a daze.

He suddenly wanted to send Ye Wangning a private message on Weibo, he wanted to ask Ye Wangning, what exactly do you want?

It's a pity that the last sentence was still not sent out. Chi Yun calmly took a shower and changed into her pajamas.

Pushing open the bathroom door, he saw Ye Wangning sitting on the sofa with his arms around his knees, looking down at something.

Chi Yun was not curious about what Ye Wangning was doing, he only glanced at it, then looked away, turned around and prepared to enter the bedroom.

Ye Wangning stopped him at this moment: "Brother."

Chi Yun's fingers rested on the doorknob. He didn't push the door open, nor did he look back, but he suddenly hated this overly intimate name in his heart.

"Brother," Ye Wangning didn't realize it, or just pretended not to, "draw the card for me."

Chi Yun walked to Ye Wangning's side, bent down and clicked to draw a card, and some water droplets dripped down his collarbone onto the screen of the phone.

The interface at the end of the card drawing was dazzling. Chi Yun wanted to withdraw his hand, but Ye Wangning hooked his finger lightly. He heard Ye Wangning say, "There is a rare item."

Chi Yun quickly withdrew his hand reflexively.

Of course Ye Wangning noticed it, he looked at Chi Yun with dim eyes, Chi Yun just pretended not to see, and sat beside him naturally.

No one spoke, and the air fell into a strange silence.

"Do you have Weibo?" After a few seconds of silence, Chi Yun asked intentionally or unintentionally.

He opened Weibo, clicked to refresh the homepage, and dozens of new content jumped out.

After a while, Chi Yun heard Ye Wangning answer: "No."

Sure enough, Chi Yun couldn't help but wanted to laugh a little, but he didn't laugh, he just replied: "What a pity."

Ye Wangning didn't notice the strangeness in Chi Yun's tone, he looked at Chi Yun's wet hair for a while, got up and went to the bathroom.

Chi Yun kept staring at the phone screen, he didn't see anything clearly, he just swiped down mechanically.

Until Ye Wangning came back again.

Ye Wangning held a towel in his hand, he stretched out his hand naturally, and whispered: "Your hair hasn't..."

This sentence was only halfway through before it stopped abruptly, because Chi Yun avoided his hand.

Chi Yun raised her face and met Ye Wangning's gaze directly.

He had an illusion that Ye Wangning was very sad, but this illusion passed in a flash.

Ye Wangning smiled, and the corner of his mouth raised a very shallow arc, he asked: "It's just wiping your hair, what do you think is wrong?"

Chi Yun didn't dodge, he was silent for two seconds, and met Ye Wangning's gaze: "I didn't think anything was wrong."

"I didn't have a chance to say it before, sorry, it's not too late to say it now," Chi Yun said in a neutral tone, "I'm gay."

"So in the future, let's keep our distance."
