detour

Just as Zhuang Shaodong walked to the door of the main control room, he heard a noisy sound coming from the open door.In another hour, the water transportation will start, and the people from all walks of life are naturally already in their positions.

The person is still outside the door, but Zhuang Shaodong's ears have already begun to involuntarily distinguish the various sounds in the main control room: the soft and coherent ticking sound from the machine, the intentionally suppressed but still noisy conversation, the intercom. The sound of Sara Shara's voice, the rattling sound of the blueprints being flipped... There is an inexplicable thing mixed in this group of noisy sounds, which stimulates the nerves of everyone present like a stimulant, as if An important moment is approaching, and all people will witness a great event happen at the same time.

Zhuang Shaodong's eyes swept over the crowd, and finally saw the familiar figure through the gap between the two young people who were discussing enthusiastically.Zhuang Shaodong glanced at the main control room where the atmosphere was lively as if it was about to celebrate the New Year, and thought a little uncomfortably: Why is he so busy alone that he doesn't even raise his head?Everyone else is talking around...

Xu You was lying on the operating table, pointing back and forth on the screen with one hand, and holding a walkie-talkie with the other hand, and there were four or five walkie-talkies open in a row on the operating table at hand.Lin Chenghu was sitting next to him, whispering something to his assistant Chen Shu.

Just as Zhuang Shaodong squeezed in from the crowd, he heard Xu You shouting at the top of his voice: "...A1024 to A0007, which pump is not equipped with a filter?"

"Scan all the pressure measuring points...Where is the warning red line? Which area is not marked?"

"Cross the line, cross the line..." Xu You's voice was impatient, and it sounded like he was about to shout, "Who are you waiting for? Waiting for Xiao Zhang? If you cross the line, you still have to wait for Xiao Zhang? Do you want to eat? Wait for him?!"

Seeing Zhuang Shaodong coming, Lin Chenghu reluctantly nodded, "Mr. Zhuang."

Zhuang Shaodong knew that he had opinions on him because of the previous incident, and he didn't care about his attitude. He raised his chin to Xu You who was next to him, and asked, "What's the situation?"

Lin Chenghu made a mouth shape, "Cross the line."

Zhuang Shaodong didn't understand what a cross-wire was at all, it sounded like some device needed to add a wire...

Seeing the question mark on his forehead, Lin Chenghu knew that he didn't understand, and was about to explain, when Xu You stretched out his hand and pushed the walkie-talkie on the console to Lin Chenghu's face, and tried the walkie-talkie in his hand again. The channel just strode out.

Before Zhuang Shaodong realized what he was doing, he had already followed him by surprise.

Perhaps because of the lack of interference from the buzzing sounds around, although Xu You shouted hoarsely when he was in the main control room, the slightly irritable expression on his face calmed down after entering the scene.Although his brows were frowned, but listening to his voice talking to others, it seemed that there was not much difference from usual.

The water transportation is about to start. At this time, the on-site transportation personnel are already in place. Xu You stops from time to time to communicate with the on-site technicians about the preparations on the site.The exciting atmosphere that filled the main control room also affected the scene more or less, but it was more serious and tense in comparison.

Zhuang Shaodong and Xu You were separated by a not-so-close distance, and all the operators on the scene were wearing the same blue overalls and orange safety helmets, but Zhuang Shaodong still had no trouble distinguishing him from a group of similar figures. Looking at Xu You, it seems that no matter where this person appears, his standing posture is more upright than others.

It was only when Zhuang Shaodong followed until near the raw material filter that he realized that he had followed Xu You through the entire device.And he didn't even know what he was doing, so he just followed him inexplicably.

Involuntary feeling.

It's unsettling and overwhelming.

Zhuang Shaodong watched Xu You squeeze into the crowd and began to check the equipment, watched him frown and talk to the people next to him, then rolled up his cuffs, took the tools from Chen Shu and started to disassemble the instrument box.

Zhuang Shaodong suddenly felt that Xu You in front of him had become different, but he couldn't tell what was different.I just feel that the corners of Xu You's mouth are tightly pursed so that people can't take their eyes off it. It seems that at this moment, the whole world no longer exists, only him and the work he is doing are left.

Zhuang Shaodong heard his own heartbeat clearly, thump, thump, thump.It seems that for me, the criss-crossing steel pipes above my head and the tense-looking staff around me also disappeared, leaving only a small halo in front of my eyes and the man with focused eyes in the center of the halo.

For a moment, he seemed to realize something.

Zhuang Shaodong looked around in a daze, and with a feeling that was almost sad, he discovered a completely strange self in disbelief.

In a corner that Zhuang Shaodong didn't notice, a pair of eyes watched him quietly.

Although there was an accident before and the actual technical work has been handed over to the newly appointed technical consultant Xu You, Su Chengze is still the nominal chief engineer of Longsheng.On such an occasion, he still had to show his face no matter what.In fact, when Zhuang Shaodong walked up the steps of the main control room, he had already entered the factory gate.When Zhuang Shaodong followed Xu You out of the main control room and entered the device all the way, he also took the helmet from the assistant and followed quietly.

It was also a subconscious move.But soon, he noticed something subtle and unspeakable from Zhuang Shaodong's expression.

He is following Xu You.

After confirming this point, Su Chengze suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.He didn't understand how things had come to this point?That person would show disgust whenever he mentioned Xu You's name, obviously...

But looking at Zhuang Shaodong with fiery eyes behind the crowd, Su Chengze was not surprised at all.It was as if he had already had a premonition in his heart about what had happened.What is lacking is just such an opportunity to turn all doubts into unavoidable facts.

When did this all happen?

Su Chengze's temples were throbbing, and his whole body was shrouded in a sense of suffocation as if a catastrophe was imminent, and he was so sad that he could hardly breathe.

He thought of Zhuang Shaodong's stunned expression when he first heard about the accident at the scene, and the unbelievable expression in his eyes when he looked at him blankly.

For Su Chengze, that day was also a nightmare.Zhuang Shaodong's eyes that were mixed with shock, surprise, disappointment and disbelief at that time still make his heart ache when he thinks about it.

It's disappointment.

Because of disappointment, he turned his attention to the man who used to be his opponent, and then he was attracted step by step, and moved away from him step by step.

Su Chengze suddenly had strong doubts about Zhuang Shaodong's initial dislike.If Zhuang Shaodong's impression of the past that he didn't know about was only disgust, how did the disgust turn into attraction?

Or, those so-called disgusts...were never real disgusts?

Su Chengze closed his eyes, suddenly feeling exhausted.
