Flee

Xu Shuyan left, the rain was getting heavier, and he couldn't get a taxi.

Bearing the rain along the pedestrian street, Xu Shuyan recalled his little contact with this parent.

He is Miao Miao's father. Miao Miao's parents divorced in a special situation. Xu Shuyan has taken good care of her since she entered the class, but he has never had any personal contact with this father. He came to pick up and drop off the few chats. Miao Miao is over from school.

In his memory, he was a very tall man, wearing glasses, with half-length hair that was well groomed.

Many things can't bear to be recalled, and the more I recall the more shocking, Xu Shuyan even found something in common between him and that man.

The face is easy-going, looks very rigid, exactly the same dull.

The vibration of the phone continued, Xu Shuyan took out the phone to check.

Probably because Xu Shuyan didn't reply, and the man's desire to perform was unflattered, so his words became more and more crazy.

——Isn’t this Teacher Xu?I'm not mistaken.

——Or do you want me to send the photo to the parent group so that everyone can see you

——I know that good things cannot be kept private.

"I know, I know, don't be afraid."

"Do you want to wear it for me to see? Dad wants to see... good things can't be kept private."

Xu Shuyan turned off the phone with trembling hands, and he pressed the off button firmly, and the screen turned off after a few seconds of reaction.

But those words were still in front of him, the screen was still on and pierced his eyes, and auditory hallucinations appeared in his ears.Xu Shuyan was clearly walking on the road with his feet down-to-earth, but his legs seemed to be sinking, and he was being pulled down by a pair of invisible hands.

The surrounding hard brick and tile floor turned into a pool of black and smelly mud. The pungent smell kept rushing into Xu Shuyan's nasal cavity. It fell to the ground with a slump, and was pushed and rolled on the ground weakly by the wind.

The rain was heavy, and Xu Shuyan was drenched quickly. Passers-by on the road passed by him in twos and threes, cast their eyes and quickly glanced away.

Gu Yan came to the exhibition with his colleagues to discuss banking business with the boss. The other party is a regular customer. The company's business has been handled by Gu Yan's bank. The cooperative relationship has lasted for many years, otherwise Gu Yan and Chen Bei would not have done it. Take the initiative to take this trip.

Originally, the other party invited them to come to the exhibition and talk about future business plans, but Gu Yang saw Xu Shuyan and Xiao Yu just as they were progressing.

He still remembered the phone call from Xiao Yu that he hung up on and the ambition on the wine table to take Xu Shuyan down.

Immediately, Gu Yan's face turned dark.

The four pretended to socialize, and Gu Yan waited for Xu Shuyan to say something, but he was like an ostrich, never raising his head unless necessary, he didn't know if the ground was inlaid with gold or diamonds, so he couldn't move his eyes away.

The more Gu Yan thought about it, the angrier he became, and he couldn't help bumping into him when he left.

After walking far away, Gu Yan calmed down and went to the smoking room to smoke a cigarette. Chen Bei, who had quit smoking, was holding his mobile phone outside to send messages.

Within a few minutes, the client came late and greeted the two as the host. The three of them were one in front of the other, Chen Bei was an experienced person who took the initiative to chat with each other, and Gu Yan was an accompanying guest, calmly waiting for others to explain the stories behind the exhibition paintings.

The other party spoke vividly, and Chen Bei and Gu Yan flattered them with a smile. I don’t know if Chen Bei really listened to it, but Gu Yan really didn’t remember a word of it. After visiting the exhibition at last, Chen Bei briefly talked to the other party about the future business direction with the sincerity of the bank, and Gu Yan fanned the flames and was responsible for giving him some words.

When the conversation was really over, another half an hour passed, and the other party smiled into a Maitreya Buddha face and sent Gu Yan and the two out of the hall. After another polite meal, the two of them left the exhibition completely.

"You really know how to go around the corner." Chen Bei talked all the way, his mouth was dry enough, he licked his lips, turned his head and said to Gu Yan: "Drink something?"

"Don't drink."

"Then I'll go buy a cup." Chen Bei shivered from the cold, holding an umbrella and walked to the opposite side.

Gu Yan stayed under the eaves at the entrance of the exhibition to shelter from the rain. The street lights were already flickering early in the day, and the watermark on the ground revealed yellow spots of light. He stared at it for a while, took out his phone and looked through it, and when he opened it, he found Xu Shuyan He didn't reply to the message he sent. He raised his eyes to look at the coffee shop across the street, and quickly walked over.

As soon as Chen Bei finished ordering, Gu Yan opened the curtain and went in while standing at the counter waiting for the order. Chen Bei happened to meet him face to face.

"Didn't you say you don't want to drink?" Chen Bei rubbed his hands.

Gu Yan didn't answer, and turned his head to look around the shop.

"What are you looking at? Do you want to drink?" Chen Bei stretched out his hand and waved in front of him.

"I'll buy you a cup." Chen Bei said.

Seeing no one, Gu Yan looked away, ordered a cup of coffee casually, and sent a message to Xu Shuyan with his mobile phone.

Gu Yan couldn't guess what Xu Shuyan wanted to say to him, but there is no one in the store now, and it is very likely that Xu Shuyan left first after waiting for a long time.

He waited for a while and didn't see Xu Shuyan replying to the message. Seeing that the coffee was still being made, he said to Chen Bei, "I'll go out and make a phone call."

"Success, I'll watch over here." Chen Bei lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, and didn't even bother to give him a look.

Gu Yan went out of the store to call Xu Shuyan, and found that the temperature had dropped too fast. The sun had not been felt for the past two days, and the autumn energy really appeared when it rained.

Gu Yan took out the cigarette case and pushed open the paper cover with one finger. He knocked one on his clothes and shook it out. Before he could feed it into his mouth, a mechanical female voice suddenly came from the phone.

"The phone you dialed is turned off, please try again later..."

Gu Yan frowned, clenched his cigarette and dialed again, this time it was the same.

Xu Shuyan turned off the phone.
