coincides with cause and effect

"Teacher, this coffee shop is just across from the company. How do you think it's your first time here?" The young man's voice was clear and loud, with a slight rise in the end, with a unique vitality and youthful vigor.

The man in a black windbreaker sitting across from him looked down at the documents in his hand and said calmly, "It's indeed the first time."

"Huh?" The young man raised his head in surprise, and accidentally knocked over the coffee in his hand when he reached out, and the part of the turquoise shirt on the abdomen was immediately stained with brown stains.

"Why are you so careless?" While talking, the man in black frowned slightly, put the documents in his hand on the chair beside him, took out a few tissues from the paper box on the table, stood up and leaned towards the young man. go.

While the young man was in a hurry, the man in black was already helping him gently wipe the stains on his clothes with a paper towel.

He was wearing a white shirt inside his black windbreaker. Because it was his free time, and the air conditioner was on in the coffee shop, his tie, which was tightly tied on weekdays, was hanging loosely, and the button on the collar of his shirt was unbuttoned for the last time. the one above.

When he raised his head, the young man's line of sight just spread along the gap between the collars, and what he saw was the snow-colored fair skin and delicate collarbone at the neck.He was stunned for a moment, his face was dull, and it took him a long time before he belatedly remembered what the man in black said just now: "I... I was too surprised, I didn't expect that the teacher hadn't been here before. Next to the company..."

He spoke the last sentence very softly, more like muttering to himself, but the man in black heard it clearly, and replied lightly: "We are busy with work on weekdays, so how can we be so leisurely?"

The water stains on the clothes are almost gone, but the brown coffee stains are not easy to remove.The man in black frowned, somehow feeling that the stain was an eyesore.Just as he was about to turn around and sit down, the young man suddenly pressed his hand holding the tissue to stop him from retreating.

"Xie Yi?" He raised his head to look at the young man in puzzlement, just as he met the other's scorching gaze that almost burned and devoured him.

This student of his has always been close to him, and his ability is extremely outstanding, even if he occasionally messes up a bit, it is still within the allowable range.Facing that overly direct and focused gaze today, he suddenly felt that the place swept by that gaze seemed to be a little hot.

The young man smiled, let go of his hand, still looked at him with focused and pious eyes, and said seriously: "The teacher has been unable to take care of anything since he started working. Combining... I will take the teacher to come here often to sit and sit in the future."

"It's up to you." The man in black avoided his gaze, looked down at his watch, and said, "It's almost time, it's time to go back to the company."

When he got up and was about to go to the door, the young man grabbed his arm, straightened up and walked in front of him, and reached out to stroke his neck.

The man in black froze for a moment.

"The tie hasn't been tied yet. The teacher probably doesn't like going to the company like this." The young man smiled, "I'll help the teacher tie it."

The slender fingers stroked the skin of the neck slightly, and the warm touch seemed to spread from the skin all the way to the bottom of the heart.Looking at the blushing but smiling student in front of him, the man in black inexplicably felt that his face was also a little hot.

On that day, the breeze was peaceful, and it was just right.

When Xie Yi arrived at the coffee shop, it was still 3 minutes before 15 o'clock, he subconsciously looked towards the window, and Shen Ye's black figure came straight into his eyes.

Shen Ye always liked black clothes, which made his aura even more aggressive.Calculated, he is only 6 years older than Xie Yi, but he has shouldered the burden of Liuyue at a young age. The dark tone just made his whole person settle down, adding a bit of depression and depth.

When the company talked about Shen Ye back then, the colleagues immediately sat up straight, and every time Shen Ye called them to talk, they were all so nervous that they had to think five, six, seven or eight times in their hearts when they said a word.Only Xie Yi was unrestrained in front of Shen Ye, and even dared to joke with Shen Ye.

Occasionally, when colleagues complain about how scary and powerful their boss is, Xie Yi would secretly smile and think that it’s because you didn’t see how gentle he is in private.

Of course, this tenderness is only for certain people.

That's why Xie Yi has always felt that he is unique in Shen Ye's heart. This special status has gradually increased with Shen Ye's growing tolerance and helplessness towards him, and it has also made the selfish desires in his heart grow and expand until he couldn't help it. To burst open.

Then reality hit him in the head.

Xie Yi came back to realize that Shen Ye had already seen him.However, he stood still, and Shen Ye just turned his head and looked at him coldly, without saying a word.

Taking a deep breath, Xie Yi took a few steps forward and sat down opposite Shen Ye. After calming down the surging emotions in his heart, he said, "Teacher came so early."

"You are also very punctual." Shen Ye's voice was in a commercial tone when facing customers, so calm that he could not hear any emotions, and then he pushed the box on the table towards Xie Yi, "So Remember to take good care of precious things, if someone picks them up, they may not be kind enough to return them to you."

"... Teacher, have you opened it and read it?"

Shen Ye's voice paused, and he turned his head to look out the window: "We must first determine what it is before returning it to the owner."

Xie Yi took the box, and his eyes fell on the dark red shell of the box for a moment, then slowly moved up, focusing on Shen Ye's side face: "The teacher is not curious, who is it for?"

"Xie Yi." Shen Ye turned his head to look directly at Xie Yi, his gaze became a little colder, "You are no longer my student, whether you return to China or get married, it has nothing to do with me."

The hand holding on to the box tightened a bit, Xie Yi closed his eyes, and opened them again after a while, his eyes filled with sadness and pain.He thought that the reason why he thought he was unique back then was actually because he was an intern under the guidance of Shen Ye. He naturally understood that Shen Ye was a person with a lot of responsibility. take it well.

And his unique position in Shen Ye's heart is nothing more than relying on his status as a student, and has nothing to do with Xie Yi.

Today's Xie Yi, in Shen Ye's mind, is probably no different from others.

No.

Still not the same.

He left resolutely back then, but now Shen Ye may only be cold and disgusted with him.

Even hate.

The coffee in my mouth seemed to melt in my heart, and the bitterness spread, with a little pain and struggle.

Once facing Shen Ye, Xie Yi could talk endlessly from the weather this morning to what to eat tomorrow night, but now his eyes are facing each other, Xie Yi finds it extremely difficult to even speak a word.

Things are wrong.

They can never go back to the past.

It wasn't until the coffee in the cup was almost empty that Xie Yi heard Shen Ye's deep voice, with some indistinguishable emotions: "Congratulations."

Xie Yi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Shen Ye might have misunderstood that he was getting married.

"Teacher, I didn't..."

"You don't need to call me teacher anymore." Shen Ye interrupted him coldly, put the coffee in his hand on the table, got up and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't catch up with you."

Xie Yi subconsciously got up and trotted a few steps, grabbed Shen Ye's arm, and pulled him back a little.

"Xie Yi?" Shen Ye's voice was full of anger, but also faintly puzzled.

The grievance and bitterness exploded in his heart, and Xie Yi suddenly thought of hugging Shen Ye so recklessly, letting the love hidden deep in his heart, and the longing that tormented him day after day Confidence and pain clearly and plainly.

However, when he met Shen Ye's icy eyes, Xie Yi shivered all over, as if a basin of cold water had poured him from head to tail, the chill penetrated from his skin all the way to his spinal cord, and he was so oppressed that he could hardly breathe.

"Teacher... I..."

Xie Yi's eyes were full of pain and struggle, and the expression on his face seemed wronged and sad.

What is there to feel wronged about?Shen Ye thought, back then you were the one who left without saying a word, and you were the one who cut off all contact. I, the one who was left behind, didn't say anything, so why should you be wronged?

Just looking at Xie Yi's face, Shen Ye's heart softened a little, and he sighed secretly, his tone softened a little.

"What nonsense are you doing in public?"

Xie Yi let go of his hand obediently, before he could open his mouth to ease the atmosphere, Shen Ye's deep voice reached his ears again: "You chose to go abroad back then, but now... have you ever regretted it?"

When Shen Ye spoke in a low voice, the deep and elegant voice like a cello struck Xie Yi's deepest heart, with incomparable allure and appeal, driving Xie Yi to open his mouth subconsciously.

Just as the voice was about to come out, the rabbit puppet he saw in the restaurant that day suddenly flashed through his mind. Xie Yi was shocked and woke up instantly. He took a few steps back, closed his eyes, and then slowly opened them again. A bit bitter and firm.

"not regret."

"Good, good, good."

Shen Ye sneered, and now there was only sarcasm and indifference in his soft eyes.

"Sorry, teacher, I..."

"You don't need to say it." Shen Ye tilted his head, hooked the corners of his lips with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "Why do you have to apologize, after all, you are just an intern I brought, and I have no right to ask you to graduate You must stay in the end, whether you go abroad or work, your future is up to you to decide."

After a pause, Shen Ye smiled self-deprecatingly again, and lowered his voice a little: "It's just that sometimes, I wonder if you regard me as your teacher, whether you go abroad or return to China, you never Won't tell me. Heh..."

Shaking his head again, Shen Ye turned around and was about to leave, Xie Yi subconsciously reached out to pull, but was thrown away by Shen Ye.

The black figure left resolutely and decisively, Xie Yi closed his eyes, but he couldn't even feel the pain, leaving only darkness and numbness.
