Suitable

During lunch, Xue Jiaqi couldn't help thinking about Chu Chengming.

He has always been so cowardly and unconfident, so when he had a crush on Chu Chengming, he didn't dare to say it outright, he didn't dare to ask the question of being a couple instead of a lover the next day after the relationship, and he didn't dare to speak to Xu Bi. In this matter, I believe in the relationship between the two people, but I can't believe it. Chu Chengming... also likes him.

On one side, his brain was running fast, and on the other side, his hand mechanically delivered food to his mouth.

It was the beginning of summer, and City A had already reached the point where people generally wore T-shirts on the streets, and girls began to wear skirts.

The SF company has an air conditioner, but the temperature can't be too low, so Xue Jiaqi just wore a white shirt on his upper body. For convenience, the cuffs were neatly rolled up to the forearm.

Because he didn't concentrate on eating, he unconsciously put a piece of ginger in his mouth.

"!!!"

At this time, his expression was very tangled. Due to the people coming and going in the cafeteria, he couldn't spit out the ginger out of etiquette, but eating it...it must be too difficult for him who has always been a picky eater.

There was no way, at this moment he felt that all the sensations in his body were concentrated in his mouth, and the unique spicyness of ginger had never been applied to him so intuitively, he hurriedly stuffed a big mouthful of rice into his mouth.

Forced himself to swallow, he felt the taste of ginger still lingering in his mouth.

Originally, he was having dinner with Lu Xi these days, but the child's parents came to visit her in City A these few days, so she specially asked for a few days off.

After these small twists and turns, he didn't have the appetite to continue eating, so he put down the plate.A young man came up to him.

"Manager Xue," the man said to him with a smile

"Hello" Xue Jiaqi didn't understand, but still replied

The young man handed him a bottle of milk.He took it and found that it was the kind they drank when they were together with Chu Chengming.

"You gave it to me?"

The boy smiled and shook his head

"Manager, you should pay more attention when eating in the future,"

Looking at the back of this person leaving, Xue Jiaqi seemed to understand something.

"Thank you so much!"

Xue Jiaqi returned to his seat, sipping milk.

He looked out the window and sat for a long time.

When he got home at night, he changed into his pajamas, opened the refrigerator and took some quick-frozen food that was enough to fill him up.He simply prepared it, cleaned up the house after eating, and sat on the sofa in front of the TV.

Although the programs on TV were fascinating, he still couldn't help but be engrossed.

Even after half a month, he still seemed to feel that Chu Chengming was still by his side, and then he thought of his dinner...

Well, he was indeed not by his side.

Holding the pillow that I went to buy with Chu Chengming, I seemed to see that Chu Chengming was still the same as before, always taking care of him, busy.

On an early summer night, the breeze blows, which is comfortable and refreshing.

His head moved little by little, and he soon fell asleep.

In the dream, it seemed that he came back again, hugging himself tenderly, with a helpless and doting tone

"Why are you always so bad at taking care of yourself?"

A kiss as light as a feather fell on the forehead.The feather seemed to brush over his heart, itching, and an inexplicable feeling came up.

the next morning

Feeling the sun shining on his body, Xue Jiaqi opened his eyes in confusion, only to find a person lying beside him, who put his arm gently on his body.

Sensing the other party's gaze, Chu Chengming opened his eyes, leaned over and kissed Xue Jiaqi

"Good morning."

【Extra】Chu Chengming

Chu Chengming always thought that he and Xu Bi were the most suitable.

One of the two is cheerful and outgoing, the other is very introverted. They both like computer programs. The country they want to visit the most is Germany. Their favorite drink is tepuilapop. , he was confused, not sure why there were deceit and betrayal between two people who were obviously so suitable.

(The above is the original setting)

Chu Chengming was born in a family of intellectuals (this statement is rather strange).

His parents are both university professors, and they were the first batch of people who fell in love freely when they were young. Although they also experienced some resistance, they finally came together.

So they can better appreciate the importance and preciousness of love and freedom.

For Chu Chengming, the husband and wife have never been demanding, they just hope that he can live a smooth and happy life, stick to his hobbies, and finally be with his lover for a lifetime.

However, maybe Chu Chengming's father was always doing academic research and was very serious, while his mother was gentle and graceful, so Chu Chengming was not lively, but had a mature and steady personality, and was very reliable.

In addition, he can persist and have his own ideas, so the husband and wife are very relieved of him.

However, she didn't expect that the only son would actually like a man.

The two also wanted to correct it, but they also learned about related things, and finally acquiesced.

This road is not easy to walk, I only hope that Chu Chengming can find someone who truly loves each other and spend his life together.

Chu Chengming was brought up in a well-behaved manner since he was a child.

He wasn't unsmiling, but simply felt that there was no need to show his thoughts on his face all the time.

When he was in high school and college, there were also girls who expressed their intentions to him, but he rejected them implicitly.He is very clear that he has never had any emotion beyond friendship towards the opposite sex.

Do you like men?

He was also puzzled.

However, there was no excessive surprise, and he accepted the fact calmly.

He felt that he could find a suitable person to spend his life with.

After graduating from university, he joined a large company and started researching and inventing what he studied.However, many aspects of large companies stick to the rules, and there are many unreasonable things, but no one wants to correct them.

Moreover, the climate of research is very bad. He has witnessed some academic research results being taken away and impersonated, but there is nothing he can do.

At this time, a promising company approached him.

After thinking about it, he decided to work in this company. At that time, he was very interested in the HR manager who came to negotiate with him.

This person is very interesting, even though he looks mature and stable, but caring people can always see that he is still full of vigor, full of fighting spirit and hope, like a freshly graduated college student.

But in time, he will become a truly mature and stable person.

He was looking forward to it.

After entering the SF company, he enjoys the positive, optimistic and enterprising atmosphere here.There is no intrigue and scramble among big companies.He and Xue Jiaqi—that is, the manager of the personnel department—became familiar with each other gradually.

This person is very interesting.

Although he usually wears glasses, many female colleagues can't help thinking about his gentle and personable appearance, but taking off the glasses is like a different person, and he looks like a very immature college student.

But he is capable.

Whether it's the big or small things in the HR department, or the interpersonal relationships in the company, he handles them well and with ease.And as the manager of the technical department, all I have to do is lead the team to develop new products, and I don't need to deal with too many other trivial matters.

Chu Chengming suddenly had a feeling that he couldn't explain clearly.It's like meeting an opponent who is comparable to me, and it's like having an extra friend who is not only a friend, but also someone I am more interested in in life and work.

To be honest, Chu Chengming encountered many opponents.Whether it is the classmates who make progress and study together in school and strive for the first place, or the skilled teammates and opponents on the sports field, or in the first large companies, there are also talents who are proficient in this area of ​​technology.

However, the feeling they gave Chu Chengming was different from what Xue Jiaqi gave him.

However, he never knew what it was.

Gradually communicating with netizens, Chu Chengming met Xu Bi, a student who also loves his research.

The two often communicated offline. Once, Xu Bi tentatively expressed his thoughts to him.

Chu Chengming had also imagined his partner. He thought that he should find someone who was suitable for him in every aspect.He once imagined that two people can both like one thing, get used to sports or exercise.

Better yet, cook so you can cook with him and enjoy it.He is more inclined to be a cute boy, not the overly aggressive one.

Xu Bi met his standards, and the two had a tacit understanding and feeling.

That's good, the feelings can be cultivated slowly

Chu Chengming thought so.

I feel that the relationship between the two of them is not particularly stable, so even if Xu Bi proposed a vague idea of ​​having a relationship, he just refused.

However, when he saw Xu Bi cheating on someone else... he was surprised and didn't feel too much uncontrollable anger.

He didn't understand why either.

Went to a familiar bar to drink, and unexpectedly found that Xue Jiaqi was also drinking in this gay bar.

After being brought home by him, Chu Chengming didn't know if it was the effect of alcohol or if it was really like this. He thought he was very sober and had sex with Xue Jiaqi soberly.

He felt that he would never forget this time.

Xue Jiaqi's skin is very delicate, and he looks a little immature after taking off his glasses. He didn't drink too much alcohol, but he was even more drunk than him.The blurred eyes, the heavy breathing and the occasional crying voice made him unable to restrain himself, wanting to kiss him and see more, not just him like this.

So, on the second day, he agreed without much thought.

Living in Xue Jiaqi's house, the two of them went out together and bought a lot of things, clothes, household knick-knacks, meals, daily necessities... No matter where they are, there are traces of the two of them.

The relationship between the two of them was very strange at the beginning, as if they were in a company, but gradually, some inexplicable emotions developed. It was obviously just a relationship between lovers, but they gradually got along like lovers.

To be honest, Xue Jiaqi was not the type that Chu Chengming thought was the most suitable for him.This person is very lazy in life, doesn't like to exercise, and only eats canteen and frozen food casually.

But even though he took care of him like an old lady, he never thought of complaining.

This person is always worrying.

At that dinner, being harassed but having no choice but to avoid it was really naive.He was a little annoyed, and he didn't know if it was because Mr. Wang had no lower limit or because he was too worried about this person.

Years later, for some reason, the relationship between the two seemed to have something more and something less.

Xue Jiaqi began to be absent-minded and in a trance.He was very worried, but he never found the reason.Later, when Xu Bi came to SF company for an internship, he was harassed very much. Later, because of Xue Jiaqi's friend, he found out that everything about Xue Jiaqi was because of Xu Bi.

Maybe it's because I haven't given him too much sense of security...

However, he actually wanted to break up.

Chu Chengming didn't realize until this moment that his affection for Xue Jiaqi had long since surpassed friendship.

He didn't want to accept the idea of ​​breaking up, but he couldn't bear to make him suffer so much, so he had to agree.

Thinking silently in my heart: I only give you a while to calm down.

I have been paying attention to him, and saw that he was absent-minded, and accidentally ate something else for lunch.

Asking colleagues in the same department to give Xue Jiaqi milk, he left in a hurry.Just today, he thought, continue to be with Xue Jiaqi today.

He opened the door of Xue Jiaqi's house with the previous key, and the man just fell asleep with the pillow open and the wind blowing through the window.

It's really not worrying.

He carried him to the bedroom and lay down himself.

The next morning, seeing his sleepless eyes from surprise, Chu Chengming smiled.

"Good morning."

As I said, I will always be with you.

I will not leave.

A chapter unrelated to the main plot

Many people find that

Xue Jiaqi, who has always been gentle with others, is a little different after returning from the weekend vacation.

When he looked at others, he no longer had the gentle eyes as before, as if he had settled down, but inadvertently revealed a breath of fatigue and burnout.

"And the manager actually started smoking!"

Xiao Wang from the personnel department - the secretary of YY who was in the tea room - was still in the tea room, and said excitedly

:

"How little do you care about the manager..."

The person next to him folded his arms and asked in disbelief

"How do you know he didn't smoke before?"

She raised her eyebrows and asked back, "Then how do you know he smokes?"

The others looked at each other without speaking.

What made them talk even more was that Xue Jiaqi did not have dinner with Chu Chengming again.

The two people who had a close personal relationship seemed to have a break.

But after a while, Xue Jiaqi returned to his usual state, the same gentle and personable.

Also because of the last unplanned question in the interview, Xue Jiaqi and Lu Xi have gradually become familiar with each other. Apart from work, they also often communicate in private.

Time passed quickly, and it went from late summer to winter in a blink of an eye. Although city a is in the north, it is not particularly cold.

SF Company has completed several big businesses one after another. At the end of the year, the company's Human Resources Department is busy sorting out employee assessment and performance files. In contrast, other departments are much more relaxed.

It's been nearly half a year since Lu Xi joined the company. From a newcomer in the technical department that everyone has speculated on, to an employee who has already integrated into the company gradually by virtue of her technical level and cheerful personality.

In fact, it was very strange. When Chu Chengming and Xue Jiaqi got close before, he was not familiar with the programmers in the technical department.Instead, it was because of Lu Xi that he met many technicians.

In his spare time, he also occasionally attends dinners in the technical department.

After this arduous task was over, everyone yelled to go to Xue Jiaqi's house for dinner.

It was said that it was to celebrate the end of the work of Manager Xue at the end of the year, but in the end he went to Xue Jiaqi's house for dinner.He didn't say anything, just smiled with a good temper, and asked them to bring delicious food before entering his house.

Lu Xi also thought of the embarrassing situation between her boss and Xue Jiaqi. Although she didn't know why, she also wanted to do her part to help ease it.

"Brother Xue..." she opened her mouth, but she was a little nervous.

Xue Jiaqi was in a daze, when he heard this, he turned his head and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

"That...Sunday dinner...Can Manager Chu come?"

Hearing the words "Manager Chu", Xue Jiaqi couldn't calm himself down.

I habitually touched my pockets, but suddenly thought that there was a lady beside me, who was not very good at smoking, so I withdrew my hand again, and touched my nose in a disguised way, "Um... okay, no problem, anyone can come."

He still couldn't restrain himself, and nodded apologetically to Lu Xi, "Sorry, I'll go to the corridor to smoke a cigarette first."

Walking to the corridor as if fleeing, he took out the cigarette case and lighter, lit the cigarette and put it in his mouth.

Spit out the smoke again, let it permeate and disperse in the air, and finally disappear.

He knew that at this moment, he was not addicted to cigarettes, but...

Can't hold back a feeling that shouldn't exist...

Feelings, if they can be restrained, probably aren't feelings...

Excuses are all excuses.

周末

Xue Jiaqi's family

The dinner party was scheduled for the afternoon, but since the morning, people have been arriving one after another.

Everyone was playing and fighting while processing the ingredients, very happy.

Lu Xi thought that Chu Chengming didn't know where Xue Jiaqi's house was yet, so she wanted to pick him up.

But Chu Chengming refused.

For today's dinner, he specially changed into casual clothes that were different from the suits of the past, and he looked refreshing and neat.

He had a good memory, and even though he had only been there once, he remembered the route.

Following his memory, he walked to the door of Xue Jiaqi's house, and the laughter from behind the door made him realize that he hadn't remembered wrongly, and he hadn't made a mistake.

For no reason, he thought of that time, that night, even though he was sober and able to walk by himself, he was half-supported by the man to the door, and he heard his muttering and complaining softly.

"I really didn't pay attention to my body...why did I drink so much?"

And that morning, that last look into the house before he went out.For some reason, he had expectations in his heart at the time, but in the end he didn't achieve the result he wanted - even though he didn't know what he wanted.

Such a warm scene, such a deserted scene, is interspersed with the absurd and beautiful "happy" experience.Who would have thought?

There was no sound in the corridor, and the sound from the door made it even more lonely.He began to doubt whether he should come to participate in the end.

He turned slowly, preparing to leave.

"Di-"

The elevator at the door happened to stop on this floor, and Lu Xi was about to get out of the elevator with a few bags of fruit.

The eyes of the two met unexpectedly.

Lu Xi didn't expect that Chu Chengming had arrived, so she was taken aback for a moment, and then said, "Boss, you found the right one, this is it."

Chu Chengming saw that she was a girl carrying something heavy, so he reached out to pick it up, "I'll do it..."

Although Lu Xi didn't expect it, she didn't twitch, "Boss, please."

Then go ring the doorbell.

It was Xue Jiaqi who opened the door. When he saw Lu Xi coming, he smiled, "Here you come? Xiao Xiao and the others are going to eat."

Lu Xi stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Then I want to eat it too." She ran into the house and made a fuss with them.

Chu Chengming and Xue Jiaqi stood facing each other.

For a while, the inside of the door was extremely lively, while the outside of the door was silent.It's like two worlds.

The two of them didn't say anything, they just stood there, although they looked at each other, they were both thinking about their own affairs.It's so close, yet so far away.

There is still hustle and bustle inside the door, but they can feel the invisible barrier between each other, which cannot be touched or touched, but it really exists.

It was Xue Jiaqi who broke the silence and opened the door, "Go in, you don't need to change your shoes."

【Extra】Three short stories

1. A discussion about the initial initial meeting of two people.

One day, Xue Jiaqi suddenly asked while Chu Chengming was making breakfast.

"That day...how did you put me back in the bedroom?"

Chu Chengming was a little confused, but he still replied naturally, "Hold you..."

"..." Xue Jiaqi admired Chu Chengming very much, "Your strength is really great."

Chu Chengming was busy with the food in his hands, but he still gave Xue Jiaqi a strange look

"Which time did I not hug you back when you were weak?"

"..."

Xue Jiaqi slandered: It's not that you don't know how to control yourself!

Chu Chengming seemed to have heard Xue Jiaqi's heartfelt voice, and then answered, "It's because your physical strength is too weak and you lack exercise. I am very restrained every time."

……

Suddenly thought of something, Xue Jiaqi got up all of a sudden, "You didn't hug me back once!"

"En." Chu Chengming nodded, but didn't look back.

Thinking back to the first meeting, Xue Jiaqi still raised the corners of his lips, this person has been so reliable and trustworthy from the very beginning.

"You definitely don't remember, you didn't know each other at the time."

The breakfast was ready, Chu Chengming put it on a plate, and brought it to the dining table with Xue Jiaqi.

While eating breakfast, Xue Jiaqi said

"Hey, at that time, I was still in middle school, we were still in the same school, that day..."

How can you not remember?While listening to Xue Jiaqi's description, Chu Chengming thought, you have never changed...

3. Discussion on the problem of attack and suffering.

The author's voice-over: We have been together for such a long time, have you ever thought about the problem of attack and suffering?

Chu & Xue: ...No

Author Bacteria: You can think about it now!

Chu Chengming: Don't even think about it!

Xue Jiaqi: ...I think it is quite suitable, there is no need to think about it.

【The author has died】

4. When Xue Jiayan met Chu Chengming.

Chu Chengming and Xue Jiaqi have been together for a long time, but due to some accidents, Xue Jiayan and Xue's mother never saw Chu Chengming.

Finally one day, the mother and daughter, who were full of curiosity, couldn't hold back. Mother Xue knew that although she was more lively and open-minded, a steady child like Chu Chengming might still be a little restrained to her, so Xue Jiayan went to city a to visit the two. Personal (actually a surprise attack).

After Chu Chengming and Xue Jiaqi got off work, they went home together. When dinner was just ready, someone knocked on the door.

Xue Jiaqi walked over, glanced outside the door, and found that it was his sister... suddenly felt a feeling of not wanting to open the door.

However, he still came to the door and saw Xue Jiayan carrying a bag of books, so he hurriedly took them.

Xue Jiayan let go, "My mother and I specially prepared this for you."

Xue Jiaqi "..." is definitely not something normal.

After getting ready, Chu Chengming also came out, wanting to know who was here.

I saw a young woman lined up on Xue Jiaqi's shoulders. The faces of the two were somewhat similar. It was the person in the photo, Xue Jiaqi's sister.

Chu Chengming nodded, "Hello, Miss Xue."

Both of them turned their heads to look, Xue Jiayan saw his younger brother's boyfriend, and his first impression was very satisfied

"Hello, your name is Chu Chengming. I'm Xue Jiayan, Xiaoqi's sister. You can call me whatever you want, and you don't need to call me sister."

Chu Chengming nodded in agreement.

It happened that Xue Jiayan didn't have dinner yet, so the three of them sat together to eat.

While eating, Xue Jiayan repeatedly praised, "Xiao Ming, you are amazing, the food you cook is really delicious."

Chu Chengming "..." What exactly does Xue Jiaqi's food taste like?

But I still go to add food to Xue Jiayan, after all, I am very happy to see someone likes the food I cook.

After dinner, Xue Jiayan drove Xue Jiaqi to the study, and sat next to the sofa with Chu Chengming.

Xue Jiayan could tell that Chu Chengming was indeed a reliable person worthy of entrustment, so he was relieved a lot

"Xiao Ming"

...can we not use this name?

"As Xiaoqi's older sister, I see that you two get along very well, and I am also very happy. He is usually too lazy to die, but he is very serious in his work. Although he looks mature, he is still very simple. I think a People will not give up.

He may not be very confident and insecure sometimes, out of the selfishness of a sister, I hope you can be more considerate of him, give him a sense of security, and tolerate him. "

Chu Chengming had a serious expression, "I will."

Xue Jiayan nodded, "That's good," he said and got up,

"Don't you want to live here?" Chu Chengming asked, "It's getting dark, it's more convenient to live here."

Xue Jiayan shook his head, "No need, my friend is waiting for me downstairs. There is no need for Xiao Qi to come out to see me off."

"Come back to us when you have time, mom wants to see you too."

Chu Chengming nodded, and Xue Jiayan left.

As soon as he went out, Xue Jiaqi came out of the study, only to find that Xue Jiayan was not at home

"What about my sister?"

"She left with a friend."

... Xue Jiayan, who was extremely happy at the moment.

And saw the comics of the various poses my sister took... and a piece of "Work hard to learn new poses!" Xue Jiaqi was furious at the note.

There is also Chu Chengming who is confused about Jue Li.
