coincides with cause and effect

"Sorry for being late."

When Xie Yi arrived much later than the agreed time, he glanced at Le Wuyi with some guilt, but the latter looked at him with starry eyes.

Xie Yi couldn't help being embarrassed for a moment.

"It's okay, it's okay, I was too anxious to see Master sooner, and I forgot that Master was still jet-lagged just after returning to China." Le Wuyi laughed, touched his head, and said, "Master, this store is where I used to be." The one I told you is delicious."

The two entered the restaurant only to find that the seats were full.

The shop was already very busy, but when Xie Yi came a little late, the two of them walked around the national highway but couldn't find an empty place.

"It's my fault. I knew this store was doing well, so I should have reserved a seat in advance." Le Wuyi lowered his head in frustration, and the dull hair on the top of his head drooped lazily.

Xie Yi was about to reply "It's nothing, just change the store", when he raised his eyes, he vaguely saw a familiar figure from behind, which made him dazed for a moment subconsciously.

No matter when and where, the spine is straight, the broad, flat and strong shoulders seem to be able to bear any heavy burden, even when sitting, the back never leans on the back of the chair.

Xie Yi could even recall the slight shaking of that person's shoulders when he was walking in front of him.

Although it has been many years, every time I close my eyes, the person's voice, face, smile, and every move are always so real and vivid in front of my eyes, so close at hand, but as far away as the world, as if I can reach it with my hand. , but only a blank and ashes are left in the palm of my hand.

After so many years, except in dreams, he never met that person again.

Moving his gaze a little further, the gentle and demure face of the woman sitting opposite the man came into view.

The smile on Xie Yi's face froze for a moment, then turned into a wry smile.

It's Huayue.Xie Yi is no stranger.

Times change and stars change, things change and people change, but she is still the one who stays with that person.

After hearing Xie Yi's response for a long time, and seeing him staring in a certain direction without blinking, Le Wuyi followed his gaze and asked curiously, "Master, do you know them?"

Xie Yi paused, but did not answer.

At the same time, Hua Yue also saw Xie Yi, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then pointed at Xie Yi, and said something to the person opposite.

Xie Yi's breathing was stagnant, his body was tense, and even his heart beat a little faster than usual.

He saw the man turn around and look coldly in his direction.

Shen Ye has changed a lot.

The sharp-edged face has a stern expression, and the brows are much sharper than before, like a sharp knife honed by time, and no tenderness and warmth can be found anymore.

Even the gaze he looked at was as cold as the snow on the mountain, without the slightest warmth, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the depths of those jet-black eyes.

Xie Yi felt a dull pain in his heart.

It was as if a knife was slowly being sharpened in his heart, the pain spreading all the way to every corner of his body, but he chose not to give him a good time, until the blood was dripping with scars, and he was still grinding there leisurely.

But even so, being able to see that person with his own eyes, and not just imagined in an illusory dream, Xie Yi still enjoyed the pain.

He hadn't seen Shen Ye for 6 years.

Now that we have met, we should come forward and say hello both emotionally and rationally.

"Mr. Shen, long time no see."

Turning his gaze to Hua Yue, he hesitated for a moment, but he couldn't say the word "Master" after all, so he paused, and then said: "Hua Yue."

Seeing that they couldn't find a vacant seat, Hua Yue kindly invited them to sit down and eat together. Xie Yi turned his head and glanced at Shen Ye. The latter didn't object, but he didn't agree either. , still with that mocking smile on his face.

should be rejected.Xie Yi thought.

It's just that it was the first time in many years that he had the opportunity to stay with Shen Ye so close, and he couldn't think of rejecting it in the bottom of his heart.

Like being stuck in a swamp, the more you struggle, the deeper you sink.

He has never been able to reject Shen Ye, he can only sink step by step.

Xie Yi nodded bitterly and almost desperately, agreeing to Huayue's invitation.

Shen Ye and Hua Yue sat at a rectangular table for four people, and they sat face to face at the window seat, Xie Yi silently sat next to Shen Ye, and Le Wuyi sat next to Hua Yue, Opposite Xie Yi.

Le Wuyi seemed to be out of the situation, but he faintly sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere among the few people. He touched his head and saw that no one spoke. Am I...too a master?"

Shen Ye, who has grown up for no reason, finally raised his head and looked at Le Wuyi coldly. Le Wuyi's heart was frightened, and then he glanced at Xie Yi lightly, and asked, "Are you Xie Yi?" s student?"

"Yes." When it came to this topic, Le Wuyi was obviously very excited, "Master is very good at programming, but it took me a lot of effort to get him to accept me as an apprentice."

The rest of Yu's speech was all about how powerful Xie Yi was, and he spoke so bluntly that even Xie Yi himself, who was sitting across from him, couldn't bear it.

Shen Ye lowered his eyes and sneered.

In this world, no one knows better than him how amazing and talented Xie Yi is, and no one knows how much love and hope he has placed on this student he is most proud of.

It's just that things in the world are often unsatisfactory. Now that I think about it, how much he loved this student back then is how ironic he is now.

Le Wuyi, who had opened up the chatter box, talked for a long time, but seeing no one responded to him, he couldn't help but slow down his speech, Shen Ye raised his eyebrows, and said: "Xie Yi is good in other aspects, but his vision of people is not very good. "

Le Wuyi was taken aback for a moment.

But Shen Ye continued: "Otherwise, why would you accept such a noisy person as your apprentice?"

Le is no different from being angry for a while.

On the contrary, Hua Yue chuckled and said, "It's been so many years, but it's rare to see you joking, Ah Ye."

Shen Ye closed his eyes and said meaningfully: "Yes, so many years have passed..."

Xie Yi's hands trembled.

After being silent for a while, Xie Yi ignored Le Wuyi's almost aggrieved expression, stroked the glass with his fingers for a while, and said, "After a long time, you...are you here all right?"

"...I'm fine." Shen Ye said coldly, as if he didn't want to talk more, "I don't know when you will return to the country."

"A few days ago."

Another half day of silence followed.

Le Wuyi thought a little resentfully: You don't talk yourself, and you despise me for croaking, it's really difficult to serve!

However, after seeing Shen Ye's icy eyes and that intimidating temperament, Le Wuyi didn't dare to speak out in person.Fortunately, the waiter served the food not long after, which slightly eased the embarrassment of the silence.

Xie Yi turned his body slightly, from this angle he could just see Shen Ye's slashed side face.When he got closer, he realized that Shen Ye had become much thinner and colder. The gentleness and easygoing that he could see 6 years ago seemed to have been stripped away from him bit by bit, leaving only coldness and alienation.

Thinking about it, he left without saying goodbye at Shen Ye's most difficult time and resolutely went abroad, so how could he expect Shen Ye to be kind and gentle to him now.

It is obvious that it is a dream to meet again, but he still can't restrain the sourness and hardship in his heart.

Maybe people are always so greedy, delusional to get it when they can't get it, and hope to get more when they get it.

Although for him, getting it is already wishful thinking.

When he turned his gaze to the side, he caught a glimpse of the rabbit puppet placed next to Shen Ye's seat, and he knew it was bought for a child.

Xie Yi didn't look any further, he clenched the cup in his hand again, took a sip, and the clear water entered his throat, as if it had a bit of bitter taste.

The meal was subdued and silent.

Le Wuyi wanted to open his mouth to adjust the atmosphere many times, but was defeated by Shen Ye's cold gaze again and again, and finally could only bury his head and suffer.

Finally, when Xie Yi pulled him to bid farewell to Shen Ye and Hua Yue, he could still hear his relieved voice.

Shen Ye did not hold back.

From the beginning to the end, his gaze was so cold that it lacked the slightest warmth and emotion, making Xie Yi feel that a heavy stone had been pressed on his heart, so heavy that he couldn't breathe.

In the end, Xie Yi fled in despair.
