four year itch

Ye Jia silently followed Xu Ruibai out of the police station. The hot and humid air was blowing towards his face with the smell of dust, and the sunlight made his vision a little blurred. irritated,

"Why didn't you contact me?" Ye Jia heard Xu Ruibai's voice.

He came to G City for a month, and this was the second time he and Xu Ruibai met. Usually, even if they contacted each other, it was just a routine transmission, and there was not much to say.

Ye Jia smiled awkwardly, in order to ease the restless atmosphere, "I'm not easy to provoke, besides, I asked you to come and embolden me!"

In the entire G city, he knew almost only Xu Ruibai. Of course, he instinctively wanted to rely on him, but he was so afraid. Every relationship always went from strange to warm, then to peaceful, and finally alienated.On the one hand, he was looking forward to getting closer to Xu Ruibai, on the other hand, he was afraid that once the closeness was over, the horn of separation would be blown, and he kept a distance that he thought was appropriate.

And Xu Ruibai seems to be deliberately maintaining a polite and considerate distance, so as not to hurt his face, make people criticize, and not let people have the illusion that he can take a step closer.

Ye Jia scratched his head and looked for something to talk about, "I trouble you to find a lawyer, I'm really too embarrassed."

Xu Ruibai took out his phone with a smile, and turned to the recent calls interface. The system marked the words "harassing calls" in red, followed by the words "not connected".

"I don't know any lawyer Chen." Xu Ruibai's tone was a little proud.

Ye Jia couldn't believe it, "What if the landlord really wants to talk to your lawyer?"

"Then find a real lawyer and talk to him." Xu Ruibai said lightly. Finding a lawyer is just a piece of cake for him, and he doesn't care about the little lawyer's fee. The smell of money.

Ye Jia stared at him blankly, the high temperature in midsummer made him dizzy and numb, and he couldn't tell whether it was envy or admiration.

"He will definitely not dare to harass you again in the future." Xu Ruibai said to him comfortingly with his back to the light.

Ye Jia was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, it was a smile of relief after suppressing it for a long time.Even Xu Ruibai was infected by him, and laughed along with him.

Whether it is envy or admiration, in short, it makes people feel good now.

"I'll take you back."

"Okay~ I just want to try your Panamera! I haven't ridden in a luxury car yet."

It was difficult for Xu Ruibai's car to drive in when it reached the gate of the community. The houses outside the gate were covered with scaffolding, which seemed to be under renovation, and the car couldn't drive in.

"Just stop here, today is really too much trouble for you, next time I'll treat you to dinner." Ye Jia said as he unfastened his seat belt and was about to get out of the car.

Xu Ruibai joked, "It's all here, don't you even have a glass of water?"

"Then let's go to a nearby cafe, and I'll treat you and coffee."

"Why, what ulterior secret is hidden in your house? The golden house hides the beauty?"

Ye Jia frantically denied, "No, it's just...the house is a mess."

Xu Ruibai originally wanted to tease him, but Ye Jia's hesitation made him interested, "Then I want to see how messy it is."

Ye Jia had no choice but to invite Xu Ruibai upstairs.

But when Xu Ruibai really stood at the door of that dark room, he hesitated in his footsteps.

The room looked extremely depressing because there were no windows, and the extremely hot and humid air carried a damp smell that hadn't seen the sun for a long time.Ye Jia turned on the light, and Xu Ruibai could see the furnishings of the whole room clearly. There was a simple bed, a computer and a few books on a square table. It was so simple that it didn't look like a room, it was like a prison. Even the prison can see the sun.

He had never seen such a place, nor had he been in such a state of embarrassment even in the worst of his troubles with his family.Nor could he imagine that anyone would fight to stay in a place like this.

Seeing that Xu Ruibai was not moving, Ye Jia was so nervous that his whole face flushed, and he rubbed his hair in embarrassment, "I'm sorry, but there's actually no place to sit, why don't we go to a nearby coffee shop."

"You live here?" Xu Ruibai couldn't believe it.

"Yes." Ye Jia heard the surprise in Xu Ruibai's tone, and explained, "It's very nice here, very quiet, and one can do a lot of things after get off work."

At this moment, "Isn't ad going to attend your mother's funeral?" suddenly came from the next room.Both of them were taken aback, Ye Jia smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm already looking for a house, and I'm going to move out next month. I was too anxious to find a place to live. This place is pretty good except for the lack of windows. I usually work in the company or a nearby convenience store. , just come back and sleep."

Xu Ruibai felt a little uncomfortable, and his tone softened a bit, "Well, my friend's house hasn't been rented out yet."

Ye Jia waved his hand, "No need, it's enough to bother you, I'm already looking at the house, there's still a month left, don't worry."

"Would you like to move to my place first? This kind of house will suffocate people if they live in it for a long time."

Ye Jia stared, and said with a smile, "No way! I have to enjoy the fruits of my victory for the right of residence we just fought hard for!"

Xu Ruibai sighed lightly, stretched out his hand to stroke his hair, his eyes were a bit complicated.At that time, Ye Jia thought that the look in Xu Ruibai's eyes was distressed, but when he thought about it later, he gradually realized that this look was probably not distressed, but more pity, a kind of pity for his sensibleness and carefulness.

"Everyone came here like this, don't worry." Ye Jia reassured Xu Ruibai in turn. In fact, there is really nothing to be hypocritical about. Most graduates of their age came here like this. The difference may be that he is an Omega , and his luck is relatively poor.

"Well, then it's fine for you to decide." Xu Ruibai smiled and put his arms around his shoulders, and walked downstairs, "It seems that the water is undrinkable, so I'll punish you and treat me to dinner."

--

On Monday morning, the editor-in-chief called Ye Jia into the office suddenly, and asked him with concern, "Xiaoye, you're not from City G, are you?"

Ye Jia has always been transparent since he joined the company. Suddenly being so cared by the boss, he thought that disaster was imminent and he would be fired soon, so he replied with a serious heart, "Well, I'm from City A."

"It's quite far away. Has the accommodation problem been solved?"

"Well, I live in Qingning District now, but I plan to move out next month."

The editor-in-chief sighed, "It's hard to find a house now, and the cost of living in City G is indeed relatively high."

"Ah."

The editor-in-chief coughed lightly, touched his nose, "Well, in fact, our company also has a dormitory."

Ye Jia asked in surprise, "Dormitory?"

Since there is a dormitory, why didn't I tell myself about it at the beginning, and didn't tell myself about it until a full month after I joined the job?

The editor-in-chief also saw Ye Jia's doubts, and added, "Personnel may have forgotten to tell you about this, because most of our employees are still from G City, and no one lives there. If you want to move in, I will I will send you the address and the password to open the door later, you can go and have a look at the house first."

This makes sense, not to mention that Ye Jia has already been dazzled by such good things, and has no time to think about other things.Ye Jia thanked the editor-in-chief repeatedly, and his dissatisfaction with the company's environment in the past month disappeared in an instant. At this moment, he only wished to be that shining candle and burn his life for the company.

Of course, this dedication only lasts until after get off work, and a professional social animal must learn to retract freely.
