Good Night, Liang Xiao

"Have you had breakfast?" Ye Ji'an took the opportunity to pick up the topic, "I'm leaving now."

"Oh, by the way, shall I bring you some sandwiches along the way? And coffee... Director Ye Black Americano, Liang Xiao Vanilla Latte, right?" Xiao Li also knew what was going on, so he turned and ran towards the elevator.

"Hard work!" Ye Ji'an said.

"It's troublesome." Liang Xiao also said.

"...Thank you just now," Ye Ji'an turned his head when he saw Xiao Li entered the elevator, "He still has a razor, and he can really talk."

"For the reputation of the senior. But don't worry, I haven't come out in the company yet, so the impact should not be great." Liang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Ye Ji'an looked at the closed wooden door, took a look twice, and went back to his room.reputation?Indeed, the first thing he thought of just now was indeed a similar word, but after thinking about it again, so what if he was misunderstood?The company doesn't have a rule against dating in the office. In this day and age, being with someone of the same sex who is younger than you, although there must be some people who don't understand it, it's not shameful. It's a big deal to add something new to the chat in the tea room.The premise of all this is of course that Liang Xiao doesn't mind. As for Ye Ji'an himself, he has passed the age that rejects him as a talking point, and has no idea of ​​having a girlfriend. If he is regarded as gay, he still has a partner, just right It can also avoid the overtures of colleagues of the right age and the matching of others.

In fact, he feels that what he cares about every day is how he is doing at work, how the performance of the department is, whether he is at risk of being fired, and how to get more bonuses to ease the pressure on the mortgage.Saying that he is a low-desire population, he would not want to become a monk, and saying how much he loves life is really out of the question.

Damn, he stared at himself in the mirror again, his eyes were dull, his face was dull, and the corners of his mouth were still stained with toothpaste, thinking, your life is too pursuitless.

Is your house everything to you?he asked himself.

But apart from the two-bedroom, one-living room house built on top of the subway in the satellite city, what else do you have?Oh, there is also a cemetery signed by the insurance company for you, and there is also a 120-year automatic extension of the grave-sweeping service.He felt like he was making fun of himself again.

Ye Ji'an is an expert in handling his own emotions, so he quickly regrouped, cleaned himself up, sprayed it with Chanel blue, hung up the pure white wide-sleeve shirt he borrowed, and went to work with his bag.His colleagues had already boarded the car. He took the breakfast paper bag handed over by Xiao Li, held it heavily in his hand, and sat down in the spacious last row of Alfa, unconsciously looking sideways.Liang Xiao who was sitting next to him also looked back at him, didn't say much, just stuffed a small object into his palm.

Spreading his hands and looking, Ye Ji'an was taken aback.It is a piece of extremely thin jade pendant, carved with a Maitreya with smiling eyes, the carving is rough, and the jade material is also lackluster, neither like jadeite nor suet.This thing has been hanging around his neck since he could remember, and Ye Ji'an never paid much attention to it. Gradually, the lanyard became thinner or even broke, and he didn't notice it when it fell on someone else's bed last night.

But after all, he didn't want to lose it. After all, this thing didn't come from the parents who raised him. If there is any relationship between him and the days before he was adopted at the age of three, then only this Maitreya is left.

"Thank you." Ye Ji'an said.

Seeing that he neither put away his things nor opened the breakfast paper bag, Liang Xiao frowned. "Isn't this yours?" The voice was as low as a whisper.

Ye Ji'an didn't try to hide it at all, and said in his normal voice, "It's mine, maybe it's worn out, I'll get a new one when I get home."

Liang Xiao's nervousness was obviously relieved by most. He picked up the broken lanyard from his palm, and used a lighter to burn off a few fluffy strands at the end. "That's all right," he compared the length, "Senior, borrow it Give me the neck."

Ye Ji'an probably guessed what he was going to do.

Liang Xiao was trying to simplify his words again, "I'll put it on for you," he said seriously, shaking the pendant, "and then tie the knot."

The car was surprisingly quiet. I don't know if it has always been like this, or it has just become like this.Ye Ji'an glanced over the backs of the seats in front of him, and he suddenly understood and calmed down. This feeling came suddenly, like dew condensing on the leaves, falling on the tip of the leaves, and the second when the big one finally fell. .

Unbuttoning a shirt button and loosening the tie, he really "borrowed" his neck. The thread touched the skin, and a knot so small that it was almost imperceptible fell on the back of his neck.Liang Xiao's fingers trembled a little, and Ye Ji'an felt that this was probably not his own illusion.

"This can be regarded as a talisman." He smiled, and stuffed the Maitreya into his neckline, which was warm and not cold, "If you pick it up when the hotel is making the bed, you may not be able to come back, you are really careful. "

Liang Xiao was extremely shy. Seeing him trimming his tie, he turned his gaze out of the window.

The day's work was quite smooth. At dinner, Lao Chen joked that Director Ye's amulet was lucky. Ye Ji'an responded with a smile, thinking that luck is a ghost, because we are well prepared and cooperated reasonably.

Liang Xiao was choked by the unauthentic Indian curry served in an unauthentic Indian restaurant, so he drank mint water to calm himself down.Ye Ji'an continued to brag with Lao Chen Shangshang, while waving for the waiter, ordering some spicy potato soup.

That night, he took the Valentino and stood in front of Liang Xiao's room again. This time, the two of them made a good plan and contacted on WeChat in advance, so they didn't even have to knock on the door.The next morning, the alarm clock finally worked. Ye Ji'an calmly returned to his room, calmly went through the daily routine of despair in front of the mirror, and calmly went downstairs to take the car.

It was the same for the next four or five days.

Ye Ji'an found that he was indeed effective in hypnosis, but it was not omnipotent. After gradually recovering the basic sleep, Liang Xiao would sometimes fall asleep very late even with his arms around him, but at least it wasn't all night. If you become addicted to something, you must not ideally stop it too fast. After you return to your country, you need to cooperate with treatment. In short, you add sleeping pills yourself, and then gradually reduce the dosage, so that Liang Xiao can gradually adapt to natural sleep.

He also found that there would be calls coming in late at night, almost every night.Liang Xiao's cell phone would vibrate beside his pillow, but he would be rudely rejected and thrown on the floor.

The company requires employees to turn on the phone 24 hours a day, and also requires them not to change their numbers without special reasons. According to Liang Xiao, those calls are from unknown numbers, which cannot be blacked out, so there is no solution, and they can only endure their harassment.As for other things, such as who is so obsessed with him, why he refused to say a word, and how long this situation lasted, Liang Xiao never explained, and Ye Ji'an didn't ask.

Or the ex, maybe it was the first love that broke up before graduation, he thought silently, even when he was cooking in the past, this kid also received a similar call.Facing Liang Xiao's indifference, from whispering to roaring, Ye Ji'an couldn't tell what language it was, but felt that the other party was quite angry.

"Don't smash your phone into pieces someday." He also reminded me inadvertently at midnight.

Liang Xiao still looked indifferent, and in a daze, hugged him tighter, "It's so annoying, disturbing senior's sleep."

This made Ye Ji'an wonder if he would feel lonely and not warm if he lay alone on the bed in the future.

At that time, the insomniac will not become himself, will he?

He didn't discuss with Liang Xiao what to do after returning home, the shorter the remaining days of the business trip, the more hesitant he became.Anyway, we are neighbors, and it's so cold in winter, why don't we continue like this?I have thought about how to cure your insomnia.In fact, he almost said so, and was very puzzled by himself.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that next month, people will live in the local area, and they will definitely go home for the New Year. Is it possible that I can bring a homeless person like myself to live with me?Crazy, it's not just about privacy.Ye Ji'an believed that it was the inexplicable sense of dependence that came on quickly and strangely, which caused him to think so much, and also caused this psychological habitual overdistance.

What is comforting is that the work was successfully completed according to the planned time, and most of the major worries before the Spring Festival were resolved. On the eve of returning home, Ye Ji'an treated guests, and the six of them drank in a traditional Russian bar.Of course, the female colleagues have the freedom to choose fruit juice and yoghurt, but the three old Chen Ye, Ji An and Liang Xiao drink beer in the direction of not getting drunk.

There are many drunks lying down outside the bar, as well as inside the bar. The strong Slavic men are toasting and drinking, chanting slogans like knives and axes, and their table is not so good, and the female colleagues do not drink less. It means that everyone has been working desperately for such a year, everyone is tired, everyone is wronged, and wants to indulge in this unscrupulous foreign country for a while.

Only Ye Ji'an changed his plan temporarily. He saw that Xiao Li from the general affairs department was unreliable, and he knew that as the leader of the team, he had to stay sober. So stupid.So no matter how people persuaded, Ye Ji'an was always quite self-restraining, just had a glass of wine, or sipped it, but this disguise caused Liang Xiao to drink more-this kid is stupid, he can't solve his own problems, and he still needs to drink more. Block the wine for him, one after another, "Give me!" Just two words.

"Hey, do I have to carry you later?" Ye Ji'an poked him quietly.

Liang Xiao shook his head, just smiled obediently.

After drinking for three rounds, Old Chen confessed his cowardice and left temporarily. Ye Ji'an saw that he was not going to the bathroom, but heading towards the door, so he thought he was bored and wanted to go out to get some air.Unexpectedly, after about twenty minutes, Lao Chen hadn't come back yet. When I called him, I found the phone was on the table.

Ye Ji'an's heart sank. He was afraid that Lao Chen would not deal with the group of drunks outside, such as accidentally stepping on someone, being pushed to the ground and beaten, or simply drunk as one of them. This is not impossible.Those rumors about Russian drunks freezing to death on the streets in previous years made Ye Tian nervous.Thinking of this, he woke up Xiao Li and the translator who were dozing off on the table, and told them to look after things, while he put on his coat and walked out the door.

He finally found someone in a dark alley behind the bar.Old Chen seemed to be dead. He was framed at the entrance of an alley, surrounded by seven or eight people smoking cigarettes, a group of young Russians.The one in the lead has blond hair with shoulders and a very thin body, but he only wears tight T-shirts and ripped jeans in heavy snow, which is particularly eye-catching among them.Seeing Ye Ji'an, his beautiful face like a supermodel froze for a moment, but there was no other reaction, and then he smoked quietly, not forgetting to dust the ash on Lao Chen's face.

"This is my friend." Ye Ji'an took two steps closer, trying to communicate with him in English, "Let him go first, and everything else can be discussed."

Some people turned to look at him, but the blond youth remained indifferent, and the others seemed afraid to speak.

"The mobile phone is in my pocket, and I can call the police urgently by pressing it." This is a risk, and Ye Ji'an is not sure whether the effect is a threat or annoyance. "It is very troublesome to rob a foreigner, you should know that."

Having said that, the blond young man started to laugh out loud, with his back turned to him, and Ye Ji'an stared at his back that trembled from laughing, but he didn't see his next move.What the hell is this? He was so annoying that he had to go back to the country one day. In the end, this kind of thing happened after a while, and the four drunk people in the room couldn't be pointed out, so they could only find the Russian police?Then call here?He was too arrogant to call the police directly when the robbers were five or six meters away.

He was worrying about what to do next, when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him, he still seemed hurried in the snow.Not only was Liang Xiao able to stand still, but he ran over. He didn't even put on his coat, so he just stood still beside Ye Ji'an, squinted his eyes for two seconds, "Roman," he said in English, panting for breath, "Do you want to go to jail again?"

Hearing that, the blond young man finally turned around, and Ye Ji'an saw a pair of beast-like eyes with red sockets, and these eyes were looking at Liang Xiao intently.
