Flee

Opening her eyes again, Xu Shuyan was woken up by the driver.

Hearing the voice, he struggled unconsciously, subconsciously clutching the pocket in his hand.

"Young man, we're here."

Xu Shuyan raised his eyes and gathered the wet clothes on his body. The first time he took out his mobile phone, he suddenly remembered that the mobile phone could not be turned on, so he took out the wallet from his cloth bag.

"Can the master give cash?"

"How big is it? I'll see if I can't find it."

"Fifty." Xu Shuyan took out the banknote and handed it to him, his hands and feet twitched.

"That's enough." The driver took out a small amount of cash for change from his pocket.

After searching and searching, it was still a few yuan short, and the driver had to find out what he said. Xu Shuyan looked at it for a long time and said, "A few yuan is fine."

"Thank you master."

The seat cushion that Xu Shuyan sat on was wet, and before getting out of the car, he wiped it with a towel, at least for someone to wipe off the water.

"Hey, let it go, I guess it will be done after pulling people."

"Put the towel behind?" Xu Shuyan asked.

"Give it to me, I'll put it on the windshield." The driver said in a thick old accent.

The rain became lighter and hit the ground loosely. After getting off the car, Xu Shuyan walked quickly into the community.

The property in their community was nothing to worry about. The security guard turned on the heat lamp and was already fast asleep. Xu Shuyan glanced through the glass window and entered through the small open door.

Xu Shuyan has a strong territorial affiliation, which is probably an unregressed animal instinct. The closer Xu Shuyan is to a place he is familiar with, the easier it is for Xu Shuyan to feel safe.

He walked very fast, step by step, very eager.

But soon, as he walked around the narrow entrance, he realized something was wrong, there was another footstep besides his.

As if the strings were right in his head, Xu Shuyan remembered the details he had forgotten.

The other party knows his address.

I even asked in the parent group with great fanfare.

For a moment, Xu Shuyan's heart beat like thunder, and he shuddered from top to bottom.

Another footstep came closer, Xu Shuyan tightened the bag in his hand to find the right timing.

one second-

two seconds-

three seconds—

Xu Shuyan turned around quickly when the other party approached.

There was the sound of debris falling to the ground, and the contents of the cloth bag scattered on the cement bricks.

Gu Yan clamped Xu Shuyan's right hand, and the umbrella tilted to cover Xu Shuyan.

"What?" Gu Yan asked.

Xu Shuyan's eyes widened and he almost exclaimed.

He was at a loss, not knowing how to face the current situation, "I..."

Gu Yan...how did he come here?

"Hold it." Gu Yan didn't intend to question him now, so he stuffed the handle of the umbrella into Xu Shuyan's hand, and he squatted down to pick up the things Xu Shuyan had scattered on the ground.The cloth bag was rotten, with a hole in the bottom, and mud and water mixed on the picked-up items.

"Let me pick it up." Xu Shuyan squatted down, and was handed a picture album in his hand.

"It's all wet, can I still have it?" Gu Yan asked.

"I... can buy another one," Xu Shuyan said.

"Then throw it away, it's all dirty."

The things that can be kept are kept, and the things that cannot be kept are thrown into the trash can. Gu Yan collects all Xu Shuyan's things.

"Get it up for you?" Gu Yan rolled up his sleeves to prevent the sewage from getting his clothes wet.

"I'll take it myself." Xu Shuyan said.

"You don't want me to go up?" Gu Yan asked.

His tone is not high, but it is very compelling.

Xu Shuyan shook his head, "No."

"Then I'll get it for you." Gu Yan said, "Just lead the way."

Xu Shuyan held up the umbrella stiffly, and was under the same umbrella as Gu Yan.

"You forgot to take your umbrella when you left?" Gu Yan asked as he walked.

Xu Shuyan could only bite the bullet and answer: "Yes."

"Isn't it cold?" Gu Yan asked.

"It's okay." Xu Shuyan said, "Why...you came here suddenly?"

"What do you think?" Gu Yan asked back, "Ask me to come over and you're not in the store."

"Sorry, my phone is broken." Xu Shuyan took out his phone to demonstrate to Gu Yan in order to prove himself, and pressed his finger on the power button for a long time, but the screen of the phone was still black.

"It won't turn on..." As soon as Xu Shuyan finished speaking, the phone lit up like he was playing against him.

"Broken?" Gu Yan asked.

"It just broke."

Xu Shuyan couldn't prove himself, so he put the phone back in his pocket in vain.

After entering the building, Xu Shuyan put away the umbrella, and Gu Yan followed him silently, walking all the way, the sensor lights went on and off all the way.

"Didn't report for repairs?"

"what?"

"lamp."

Xu Shuyan said, "I didn't notice."

After a few floors, Xu Shuyan took out the key to open the door, but the keyhole was not inserted correctly several times. Gu Yan stared at it for a while, and suddenly took his hand.

"Is it cold?" Gu Yan frowned, "Why are you shaking again?"

"Ah? Is that so?" Xu Shuyan replied stiffly, the key was finally inserted, and quickly turned to open it, Xu Shuyan pushed the door open.

Xu Shuyan raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Gu Yan, "Maybe it's really too cold."

He was actually numb to nothing.

Gu Yan's face darkened inexplicably, and Xu Shuyan received a cold stare.

Before Xu Shuyan could figure out the situation, thinking about which sentence he had made a mistake, he pressed two fingers on the corner of Xu Shuyan's mouth to smooth his smiling face, Gu Yan said: "Xu Shuyan, you know Is it easy to see that you are lying?"

"What were you afraid of downstairs?" Gu Yan grabbed his hand and pushed him into the room, asking forcefully, "What are you afraid of now?"

"—Xu Shuyan, answer me."
