one's love

Chapter 22

The end of the year has come, and everyone in the company is getting busy.After Wei Siyuan drank the delicious shrimp porridge, he hurried to the company, but Shi Yuanqiu called him to the office before he started working.

In the spacious and exquisitely designed office, in front of the simple white desk, a man in a beige casual suit was sitting lazily, with a pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes squinting at Wei Siyuan who was sitting in front of him.

"With Lu Ye last night?" Shi Yuanqiu asked lightly.

"No, I went out alone." Wei Siyuan paused after he finished speaking, he really couldn't remember what happened after he was drunk, "Probably happened to be met by him after he was drunk and sent me home."

"He thinks the same way...why do you suddenly want to drink? You didn't like drinking before."

"My aunt... came to talk to me last night." Wei Siyuan stopped at this point, and shrugged with a wry smile.

"Meeting that woman really won't do anything good. If she comes again in the future, don't open the door for her." Shi Yuanqiu rolled his eyes with disgust on his face. After taking a deep breath, his originally cold face eased a lot, and said softly, "Don't be angry, I will bully you back later."

"Okay." Wei Siyuan heard that his friend wanted to avenge him, and the gloom in his heart seemed to have finally found an outlet, and a slight smile appeared in the corner of his eyes.It's not that he really wants Shi Yuanqiu to take revenge on him, but it's just that someone can comfort him when he is angry and want to vent his anger for him. It's a good feeling to have someone to support him.

"In the future, if you are in a bad mood, don't be alone. If you want to drink, you will find me." Shi Yuanqiu still has a grudge against Wei Siyuan drinking alone but not calling him.

"I can find you, but I don't dare to drink anymore. My head still hurts. My current body... I really can't drink." Wei Siyuan rubbed his head, and suddenly remembered that he made a promise to that person at home this morning. The promise, after the man heard it, the gentle expression that was no longer angry made his heart jump for no reason.

Shi Yuanqiu frowned and pondered for a while, looked at Wei Siyuan's face with an obvious smile, his lips parted, and finally didn't ask anything, curled his lips and said casually: "That's fine, but there are many parties at the end of the year. Don't drink, I'll find a way for you."

"Okay, then please, Xiao." Wei Siyuan responded with a smile.

When Wei Siyuan sat in the hotel box with dazzling lights and watched Li Xifan next to him drink the unknown number of glasses of wine expressionlessly, he finally understood what Shi Yuanqiu's method was.

He actually asked Li Xifan to help him hold back the wine.

Wei Siyuan was a little guilty and sorry, and wondered how the other party would complain about his uselessness... However, thanks to Li Xifan, Wei Siyuan really didn't touch a drop of wine during the banquet.

After drinking another glass of red wine, Li Xifan put down his glass and stood up without changing his face: "Sorry, let's go to the bathroom."

After Li Xifan went out, no one cared about Wei Siyuan, and the others at the table were still toasting and joking with each other.This time, it was a dinner party between several departments in the company that usually had a lot of contact. One private room was enough for all of them.The leaders of various departments sat at a table in the middle of the big box, Wei Siyuan followed Li Xifan at the leadership table, and the ordinary staff sat at the surrounding dining tables. The surroundings were basically acquaintances, so the atmosphere was quite lively.

After an unknown amount of time, the drinking speed of the leader at Wei Siyuan's table finally slowed down, and the bald boss of the marketing department was also so drunk that he slumped on his seat like mud, talking dirty jokes with his tongue out... …

Li Xifan said that he went to the bathroom for a long time and did not return. Wei Siyuan wondered if he just passed out drunk in the bathroom, thinking that the other party was also responsible for drinking too much.So, under the lively atmosphere of everyone laughing and laughing, he quietly left the table, walked out of the box, and asked the waiter who happened to pass by the location of the bathroom.

Walking in the direction pointed by the waiter, before reaching the bathroom, Li Xifan appeared in Wei Siyuan's sight.

I saw that the other party was sitting motionless on the carpet in the corridor, leaning against the wall with the retro ring pattern wallpaper behind him, and his shirt and trousers, which were originally neat and tidy, had a lot of wrinkles.Next to the wall that Li Xifan was leaning against was the bathroom, and people would come in and out from time to time, but they didn't wake up the person who was sitting on the ground with his eyes closed and frowning.

Wei Siyuan stepped forward and tried to call the other party, but the other party remained motionless like a statue, without any response.Li Xifan didn't show his face when he drank, but he sat on the ground so recklessly, with tiredness that couldn't be concealed in the corners of his brows and eyes.Wei Siyuan stood watching and suddenly couldn't bear to wake him up.

Just when Wei Siyuan was hesitating, a gentle voice with surprise and doubt came from beside him:

"Xivan?"

A long-haired woman in a beige fine-check retro British-style suit stood in front of the toilet, with a puzzled expression on her delicate face with light makeup, her almond eyes as clear as autumn water were cast on Li Xifan, and the concern inside was obvious.

"Sorry, are you..."

"Hi, my name is Ji Ying, his... ex-girlfriend. What's wrong with him?"

It turned out to be Li Xifan's ex-girlfriend, this world is really small.However, it was really interesting to admit that he had dated Li Xifan at the beginning.

Sure enough, the woman in front of her with a hint of elegance in her gestures and gestures, looked at Li Xifan with a tenderness that she might not have noticed. It can be seen that she still cares about Li Xifan, it's a pity to break up .And Li Xifan seems to be single at the moment...

Thinking of this, Wei Siyuan smiled and said: "Hello, Miss Ji, this is Wei Siyuan, Li Xifan's colleague. He may have drunk too much and passed out here at the department dinner today. I wonder if you can help me watch him for a while." , I'll get him a glass of honey water to soothe the hangover."

"Okay, you go, I'll watch him here." A trace of hesitation flashed in Ji Ying's eyes, she bit her lip and looked at the drunk Li Xifan, and agreed.

When Wei Siyuan came back with a glass of honey water, Li Xifan still didn't wake up.Ji Ying, who agreed to take care of him, squatted beside him quietly, with her elbows on her knees, her chin on her hands, and a pair of beige stiletto boots with a height of seven or eight centimeters, but she didn't feel tired at all. Staying beside Li Xifan, tilting his head, staring at him ecstatically.

"Awaited."

After hearing Wei Siyuan's voice, Ji Ying came back to her senses, immediately put down the hand supporting her chin, stretched it out in front of him naturally, and smiled gently: "I'll do it."

"Then I will trouble you." Wei Siyuan carefully handed the honey water to the other party and added, "The water is warm, so you can drink it directly."

Ji Ying nodded after hearing this, held the glass in one hand, and kept shaking the other on Li Xifan's shoulder: "Xifan, wake up..."

At the beginning, Li Xifan was still sitting peacefully with his eyes closed, but soon, his brows were furrowed, and his face showed an impatient look, but the little hand that prevented him from sleeping was still grabbing his shoulder and shaking, Finally, the slender eyes were slightly opened, and they narrowed into a slit when they felt the dazzling light. When they saw who was next to them, the unhappiness on their face was instantly replaced by surprise, and the dark pupils suddenly widened: " Ah Ying!"

Seeing Li Xifan's dazed expression suddenly changed drastically, Wei Siyuan felt that the glass of honey water used to sober up seemed a bit redundant.

"Drink the honey water, sober up." Ji Ying ignored his reaction, looked away from Li Xifan's face, and said coldly.

After taking a sip of hot water, Li Xifan breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were still tired, and he looked at Ji Ying with a touch of tenderness: "Don't squat down, or you will faint when you stand up in a while."

"En." Ji Ying responded softly, her cold expression disintegrating instantly, becoming a little tired and sad.Standing up slowly, Ji Ying looked at Li Xifan, unconsciously clutching the hem of his clothes with one hand, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?" Li Xifan's serious face, which could make a female colleague cry, was tinged with tenderness at the moment, and his questioning tone was as gentle and caring as a loving parent talking to his own children.

"Don't drink too much if you can't drink. I... my colleagues are still waiting for me, so I'm leaving first." After finishing speaking with a little anger, Ji Ying pursed her lips and turned away in a panic.

Li Xifan didn't look away until he couldn't see the figure of the other party, feeling a little disappointed: "Give me a hand, thank you."

Pulling him up vigorously, Wei Siyuan hesitated for a while and said, "Before you woke up, she cared about you very much."

Li Xifan stood silently for a while, and finally said nothing, and the two returned to the box without a word.

Before the rest of the people at the table had time to continue pouring Li Xifan's wine, they saw him falling asleep on the dining table, unable to wake up no matter how much he screamed.When everyone saw that he was directly drunk, they ignored him and started drinking again.

It was nearly ten o'clock when the party ended, and it was still Wei Siyuan who was responsible for sending the drunk Li Xifan home.

The car parked steadily in front of Building [-] of Yunshui Garden, probably because he had slept enough before. Li Xifan was still awake at the moment, but he had no intention of getting out of the car. His slender eyes were looking at the front of the car window without any emotion, as if he had fallen into a trap. mused.

Wei Siyuan didn't bother him when he saw this, but just sat quietly with him.

Next to the car are two sycamore trees that have lost their leaves. The bare branches are swaying in the cold wind. The heater is turned on in the car, and the warm orange light from the dome light seems to make the car warmer. A kind of illusion that the years are quiet.

"I find it very boring." Li Xifan said suddenly.

"Think... what's boring?"

"Anything. Whether it's eating or hanging out with friends, it's boring. It's the same with work. The content of the work is very easy for me, and the salary is very high. In the past, I would I'm very happy, but now, I don't feel anything."

"Don't you have anything in particular you like to do?"

"No, I didn't have any special hobbies since I was a child. The only fun seems to be to see how No. 2 differs from my score after the exam ranking is out."

After hearing about Xueba's interest, Wei Siyuan tried his best not to let himself laugh out loud, but fortunately the other party was not looking at him: "But didn't you say, would you be happy if it was before?"

Li Xifan, who had been staring into the distance, lowered his eyes slightly, and his dark pupils were quietly hidden: "In the past, Ji Ying was by my side. When I was with her, I felt that everything was very interesting. Her father didn't like me. An ordinary person with no background in the family asked her to break up with me, and she moved out of the house to live with me, and I felt very happy every minute and every second with her."

Speaking of this, the corner of Li Xifan's mouth slightly raised, "So I started to focus on work, because I wanted to get her father's approval, and I wanted her to live a better life. That was the first time I wanted to accomplish something I started to work day and night, even on weekends. Sometimes I worked overtime and even stayed away from home for several days. I can see the happy expression on Ji Ying's face. When she is happy, I am happy.

But I don't know when it started, I was so busy that I forgot many important things.At first, I just forgot the dinner and movie appointment with Ji Ying, and later, the agreed vacation, each other’s birthday, the anniversary together... because of this damn job, I forgot all of these, and Ji Ying didn't blame me either, because she knew that I worked so hard for her, because she loved me.

But I took her indulgence for me for granted. In the end, I even forgot why I worked so hard. It seemed to have changed from a means to an end.And when I finally remembered, Ji Ying had already left me.You said, it's such an important thing, why did I forget it? "

"Maybe if you go too far, people will easily forget the original intention of setting foot on this road. Life is mostly the same, doing the same thing every day, repeating, killing your enthusiasm, so you get used to walking the same way every day The route, doing the same job, seeing the same scenery, unconsciously getting used to the love of the people around you, but love is not something you should have for granted, it is like a delicate rose that is newly born after being bathed in morning dew, Attractive but also fragile, we need to maintain it carefully." Wei Siyuan said slowly, looking at the dark blue night sky.

"Really?" Li Xifan asked softly.

"Yes." Wei Siyuan said with a sigh.

"Actually, it's not too late." Wei Siyuan said suddenly when Li Xifan got off the car.

Seeing the other party's puzzled expression, Wei Siyuan explained: "She still likes you, it's not too late."

Li Xifan was startled when he heard that, and quickly smiled in relief: "Thank you."

The moment the car door was opened, the icy cold wind blew across his body, causing Wei Siyuan to shiver.Standing at the bottom of the building and looking at the seemingly endless stairs in front of him, Wei Siyuan suddenly felt a dull pain in his joints, did the temperature drop again?

After taking a deep breath and exhaling, the warm breath instantly turned into a white mist and slowly dissipated. Wei Siyuan, who was about to walk to the door of the house in one breath, suddenly stopped when he saw the figure standing in the stairwell, a little surprised: "Lu Ye, why are you here, have you been standing for a long time?"

"I heard that your company has a reception today, and I'm afraid you'll drink again." Lu Ye explained the reason, ignored the second question, walked slowly to Wei Siyuan, and pulled him into the corridor naturally, so that He no longer blows cold air.

"Don't worry, I told Xiao Shi in advance that I can't drink, so I didn't touch a drop of alcohol tonight." Wei Siyuan had a slight smile in the corner of his eyes, and a warm feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

Lu Ye smiled slightly after hearing this: "It's cold at night, do your joints still hurt?"

"A little bit, but I'm wearing thick clothes today, so it's not serious." Wei Siyuan said indifferently.

Hearing this, Lu Ye frowned slightly, and gently pulled Wei Siyuan onto the steps, then turned around silently, his deep voice was very clear in the empty corridor: "I'll carry you up."

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

Wei Siyuan stared at the familiar shoulder, really couldn't resist the temptation, he hesitated for a moment, then leaned lightly on the opponent's back, actively encircled the opponent with his arms, buried his head in the socket of the opponent's shoulder, and whispered softly.

Perhaps it was because of waiting outside for a long time, Lu Ye's coat seemed to be soaked by the cold wind, with a slight chill, but the body temperature generated between the two of them close to each other quickly warmed the coat.

Wei Siyuan quietly lay on Lu Ye's shoulder, and found that the stairs that he usually seemed to be able to walk up could not be finished, but now he came to the end at once, no, his door immediately appeared in front of him.

Wei Siyuan, who had been put down steadily, was still a little unsatisfied, and stood at the door of the house without moving for a while.Seeing Lu Ye, he raised his chin to Wei Siyuan: "Go in, it's cold outside." Wei Siyuan had no choice but to take out the key reluctantly, opened the door and saw that Lu Ye had no intention of entering the house, and said something to rest early and get ready close the door.

When Lu Ye saw this, he turned around and was about to leave, when Wei Siyuan's cold voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Lu Ye... I always enjoy the love you give me for granted, but I never respond. Does it make you feel tired?"

That's why you let me go so resolutely...
