Gee, are you picking me?

Xu Yang has been very busy these two months, unprecedentedly busy.

Since he moved out from Song Xu, he must find a new house, but he just joined the new company not long ago, and his previous savings were almost used up to buy Song Xu birthday presents. In order to save money, he bought a lot of money Do more part-time jobs.

The work in the new company is more stressful than before. Going to work is often busy all day long. Counting overtime and commuting time, Xu Yang usually returns to his newly rented house after [-] o'clock in the evening, so he can eat something for dinner And continue to sit in front of the computer to help others translate documents, or go out for a drive.

With the experience of being resigned before, he does not dare to slack off now, and works hard to earn money, for fear that one day he will be forced into a difficult situation when he needs it.

He was so busy that he didn't have time to think about anything else. Even when he went to bed at night, he didn't seem to be able to dream. There was a person's face that never entered his dreams.

Although occasionally when I think about it, I will clearly experience the feeling of suffocation again.

"Are you going out so late?"

Due to the price, Xu Yang shared an old house with two bedrooms and one living room with others. The roommate who lived with him was also a fresh graduate. Since both of them were usually busy with work, Xu Yang had no free time at night. , very little time to meet.But this person is quite nice, at least it is quite casual to get along with.

"En", Xu Yang nodded.

"Aren't you feeling unwell these two days?" asked the roommate, "The soundproofing of the room is not good, I heard you coughing there at night, besides, your voice is hoarse..."

"Sorry to interrupt your rest..."

"It doesn't matter, my sleep quality is pretty good and I'm not affected by the outside world," the man said, "I just think you're working so hard when you're sick, isn't it too hard?

"It's okay." Xu Yang had already put on his shoes. "The weather has turned cold these two days and I've caught a cold. It's nothing serious. I'll be fine in two days."

"That's all right, pay attention to yourself, remember to take medicine, and come back to rest early. Let me tell you that I have never taken care of others. When you fall ill, I will be scared to death."

"Okay", Xu Yang pushed open the door, turned around and waved his hand, "Then I'm leaving."

As usual, Xu Yang went to the hotel entrance to wait for the employer who wanted to use the car. He was not in good health recently, and it was a bit cold at night. When he came out, he wore less clothes and his throat was uncomfortable. He lowered his head and coughed for a while. Suddenly, a familiar figure approached from a distance.

He subconsciously wanted to turn around, but he heard the man shout, "Xu Yang."

Xu Yang had no choice but to say hello to the person who came over, "Brother Xiao."

Xiao Qi walked up to him, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

Seeing that he took out the car key and pressed it, Xu Yang saw that the lights of the car behind him flashed twice instantly, and said in surprise, "Is this car yours?"

If the car belonged to him, but at that time it was not Xiao Qi who contacted him personally, asking him to come and drive, Xu Yang subconsciously realized something, and waited for his reaction.

"Yeah", Xiao Qi didn't know, so he was normal, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." If he had known it was him, Xu Yang would definitely not have accepted the order, but now that he has reached this point, he doesn't have anything extra to say, "Give me the car keys."

Xiao Qi gave a questioning "Yes", and then seemed to react immediately, and said, "You are working as a substitute driver, it is such a coincidence to meet you."

Xu Yang didn't say anything, he wanted to respond perfunctorily at first, but Xiao Qi's acting skills were really not that good.

Xiao Qi was right in his heart, he handed the car keys to Xu Yang, opened the passenger door of the car and got in.

"Wait a minute", Xiao Qi saw that Xu Yang was about to start, and stopped him, "There is still someone who hasn't come, wait for him."

Xu Yang's heart tightened subconsciously, he felt his breathing involuntarily quickened, and his throat became more and more dry.

Sure enough, after a while, he saw a person coming out of the hotel gate from a distance, his figure was so familiar.

I haven't seen him for more than two months. I didn't expect him to feel that he couldn't breathe smoothly just by looking at that person's figure.

Song Xu walked towards this side slowly, through the car glass, Xu Yang clearly saw his eyes coming this way, and he was obviously not surprised when he saw him, but looked at him with a blank face. He walked over slowly.

When Song Xu walked in front of him, Xu Yang didn't look at him, he just caught a glimpse of someone passing by out of the corner of his eye, then opened the door of the back seat of the car and got in.

The sound of closing the door was a bit loud, so shocking that Xu Yang felt his back petrified in an instant, and then turned into sand and fell down.

He didn't say hello to Song Xu, and started directly.

Song Xu didn't intend to greet him either, he was silent behind him, but the silence seemed to be tangible, turning into sharp thorns, making Xu Yang who was sitting in front of him feel the punishment like Ling Chi.

He held the steering wheel tightly, resisting the bursts of pain in his body.

"How are you doing recently?" Xiao Qi could clearly feel the strange atmosphere in the car, but he didn't care at all, he glanced at Song Xu from the rearview mirror, and asked.

"Fortunately."

"Fortunately, what a good way." Since Xiao Qi was entrusted by Song Xu, he naturally had to ask him clearly. Otherwise, this guy hasn't let go yet, and he still wants to hear his recent situation with his own ears. "I'm busy with work. ?"

"Not busy," Xu Yang said plainly.

There was silence in the car.

Xu Yang's answers were too brief, Xiao Qi shrugged slightly, looked at Song Xu in the rearview mirror, and said that he had no choice but to do his best.

"Are you short of money? Why do you still come out to do this?"

Xu Yang shook his head.

"If you are short of money, you can borrow it from me first," Xiao Qi said, "Anyway, I won't urge you to pay it back."

"Thank you," Xu Yang thanked politely, but he didn't take his words to heart, he just said, "There is no shortage now, but there are many places to spend money, and I'm afraid that money will be tight in the future."

Xiao Qi was about to say more when he heard Song Xu in the back seat suddenly say, "How much is that watch?"

Xu Yang remained silent.

Song Xu repeated, "How much is the watch? I'll give it to you."

Xu Yang paused, then said, "No need."

There was an eerie silence in the car again.

Suddenly there was a small earthquake, and Xu Yang was a little dizzy. He thought it was his mobile phone, and there was a red light in front of him. He was going to take advantage of this moment to see who was calling, but he heard Song Xu coming from behind. The sound of answering the phone.

This season is neither hot nor cold, and the air quality outside is not good. The four windows of the car are not open, and the whole space is airtight, making it extraordinarily quiet.

A very soft male voice came from the other end of the phone. He couldn't hear what he was saying, but the tone was very gentle, and he felt very obedient when he heard it.

"En...okay", Song Xu responded to him softly, with a very friendly tone, "I'll be there soon."

Xu Yang's body froze, and he suddenly felt his whole body trembling uncontrollably.His heart was beating very fast, as if it was about to jump out of his chest, and his veins and blood vessels were pulling and churning desperately, as if a meat grinder was installed in his body. The pain made him feel numb in his limbs, and he couldn't help using his hands Hold the steering wheel hard.

In an instant, all the blood seemed to be drained, and his face suddenly turned pale.

"Ahem..." A cough suddenly broke out in the carriage, and Xu Yang was aroused by his anger. He was sick again, and finally coughed uncontrollably.

Fortunately, it's a red light now, Xu Yang was so uncomfortable that he lowered his head against the steering wheel, his body laying on the ground, trying to suppress the desire to cough.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Qi who was next to him was startled when he saw him like this, and quickly said, "Are you okay? Why don't you stop by the side of the road first."

Xu Yang tried his best to calm down, raised his head, his originally pale face was covered with a thin layer of red because of the surging breath.

"I'm fine." Xu Yang shook his head, pursed his lips, and said, "I'm sorry, I've been a little bit cold for the past two days."

Xiao Qi reached over and touched his forehead with a hand, and said in surprise, "It's so hot, it must be a fever, don't send us, you can drive directly to the hospital."

"It's okay, I'll send you back first, and then I'll go back to sleep."

"You... No wonder I always felt something was wrong when I heard your voice." Xiao Qi insisted on sending him to the hospital. "We're fine anyway. If you drive to the hospital, I'll call now and find someone to pick us up."

"No, there's no need to go to the hospital," Xu Yang said, completely ignoring the road Xiao Qi pointed him out, and continued driving along the original route.

"You...really", Xiao Qi didn't expect that Xu Yang seemed to have no temper, but he was actually quite stubborn. He would follow the plan when he made a decision, and he wouldn't listen to what others said.He was so angry that he turned his head and glared at Song Xu, only to see that he had finished the phone call at some point, with a stiff face and lowered head, as if he didn't care at all.

"Forget it, I don't bother to care about you if you don't want to go." Xiao Qi gave up being a good person, and said indifferently, "It's not my heart that hurts anyway."

The car finally arrived at the destination, Xu Yang opened the door of the cab and got out of the car.

Xiao Qi came down from the other side, the two said goodbye, and Xu Yang left alone.

Song Xu was still sitting motionless on the back seat of the car, Xiao Qi had no choice but to open the door, stuck his head in and asked him if he could get out of the car, otherwise he could lock the car.

Song Xu turned a deaf ear to his words, and slowly tilted his head, looking through the car window at the figure that was gradually walking away.

After seeing each other for so long, Xu Yang has lost a lot of weight. I don't know if it's because of his illness. His footsteps seem so slow, and his back is lonely, looking a little lonely.

However, even so, Song Xu knew that maybe just as he thought, Xu Yang had tried his best to forget him.

Well, now that he took a look at it, he was finally relieved.
