detour

When the car drove around in the neighborhood and stopped downstairs at Xu You's house, Wu Bin couldn't help asking, "Why do you think of moving?"

"Well, we've moved." Xu You took the cigarette he handed over, casually fiddled with it between his fingers, "I came out of Sanjian."

"Why?" Wu Bin was taken aback.When they were still together, Xu You had been approached by a headhunting company, but he rejected them all because he was already the chief engineer in Sanjian, and he would be suspected of going downhill wherever he jumped.

"No reason." Xu You smiled silently, "I didn't feel happy doing it, so I jumped."

"Then you now..."

"I earn a living in a technology company." Xu You replied vaguely, "The salary is not bad."

Wu Bin knew that he didn't want to ask him any more, so he was silent for a moment and asked again: "When did this happen?"

Xu You thought for a while, "It's been more than two months."

More than two months happened to be the time when problems arose between them.Wu Bin couldn't help thinking of a possibility: Could it be that Xu You made such an abnormal decision because he was stimulated by his cheating?After thinking for a while, Wu Bin felt that he was a little self-indulgent, and Xu You didn't seem to care about him so much.

Wu Bin patted the steering wheel and sighed softly, "I'm sorry."

Xu You didn't make a sound.He didn't know what to say, let alone comfort him that it was okay against his will.In fact, when he found out about Wu Bin and that little boy, he was very disappointed.He really liked Wu Bin's character, and the two of them got along well in bed.He always thought that the two of them could live like this—at least they should continue this relationship for a while.Half a year, a year, maybe...

"That child is actually not to my liking." After a moment of silence, Wu Bin suddenly smiled bitterly, "I was very upset at the time, very upset, and didn't know how to deal with you. I drank two more drinks before I knew it. cup, just...follow him half-pushed and half-heartedly."

Xu You keenly noticed that there were other meanings in his words.He looked up at Wu Bin, but Wu Bin looked out the window silently.The street lights in the neighborhood were not on, and his side face was illuminated vaguely, like a silhouette.

"Two days before the accident, Huang Haitao's birthday." Wu Bin leaned lazily on the back of the chair and asked him as if talking to himself, "Do you remember what happened that day?"

Xu You nodded.That was the first time he took Wu Bin to meet his buddies, and subconsciously he wanted to continue developing with Wu Bin.Unexpectedly, after he straightened Wu Bin on this side, he split off his leg on the other side.With such a result, Xu You was not only disappointed, but also a little embarrassed.

"That day at Conqueror, you drank a lot." Wu Bin said to himself, "I couldn't even find the door of the garage when I was so drunk, so I carried you upstairs."

Xu You vaguely remembered such a thing.At that time, Huang Haitao and Li Xiaowu teamed up to drink him, both white and red, and he didn't even remember how much he drank.

"You started picking my clothes before you even entered the door." Wu Bin twitched the corner of his mouth, showing an expression that seemed to want to smile, "You have never been so active with me. Although we have always been very good, but you I've never been so active before. I'm very... happy." When he said the word happy, there was a hint of water in his eyes, as if he was about to cry.

Xu You was suddenly speechless.

"I'm very happy." Wu Bin repeated this sentence that sounded a little silly, and fell silent again.The sound of insects outside the car window suddenly became louder.The night wind blows, and the wind carries the fragrance of unknown flowers, gentle and quiet.

"Then..." Wu Bin turned his head to look at him, his eyes sparkling in the night, with a trace of grief that cannot be described in words, "Then you called someone else's name. You were drunk like that, but in I call someone's name in my arms."

Xu You's face suddenly changed.

"You call someone else's name, Xu Zi." Wu Bin covered his face and laughed in a low voice, "You really know how to choose the right time. I haven't been so happy in all these years. You just choose this time to be in my house." A stab in the heart."

Xu You's heart groaned, and his fingers clenched tightly involuntarily.

Wu Bin rubbed his face heavily, lowered his head, took out a lighter from his pocket, lit the cigarette in his hand, and took a deep breath, "Sometimes when you think about it, you are really worthless. You, but you only gave me an empty shell. I hurt your face outside [-], and it only hurt your face, right? What about me? Xu Zi? Have you ever thought about me?"

Xu You's nails were about to dig into the palm of his hand, but he couldn't say a word.

"You are obsessed with cleanliness, you won't tolerate my cheating." Wu Bin threw half of the cigarette out of the window, his voice was filled with helpless sadness and lingering fatigue, "I am also obsessed with cleanliness, Xu Zi. I can't tolerate myself either. Holding an empty shell in your hand. If all you get is a body, then what is the difference between you and others?"

what's the difference?

Xu You himself was a little confused.He only gave Wu Bin his own body, so he also asked him to be loyal to his body?If Wu Bin had someone else in mind, wouldn't he have such a strong reaction?

It seems... not so.

Standing by the flower bed, Xu You watched Wu Bin's car turn around the fountain and slowly drive out of the community, feeling extremely complicated in his heart.For Wu Bin, his cheating was just to prove whether there is any difference between Xu You and that [-] boy?

There's none?

Have it?

Xu You sat down on the edge of the flower bed and buried her face in her palms.Wu Bin complained that he only gave an empty shell, but he didn't know that Xu You could only give such an empty shell.

Perhaps, there is still a little hope.Just like Cinderella in the story who went fishing for the prince in a pumpkin carriage, she always hoped that a miracle would happen, that there would be someone who could pull him out of the quagmire of self-blame and self-loathing, and let him rediscover the beauty of life.Xu You knew that in the past few months, he really pinned his hopes on Wu Bin.If I can be more honest when getting along...if Wu Bin can be more patient...

in case……

Unfortunately, this is a world without ifs.No Cinderella, no glass slipper and pumpkin carriage.

And there will never be such a thing as a miracle.

They didn't drink much. In fact, their party was ruined by the sudden appearance of Su Chengze and Zhuang Shaodong before it could start.But for some reason, when Xu You woke up the next morning, she still felt a headache.Taking a cold shower or drinking hot milk did not relieve the pain, until he sat in his office chair and drank the coffee made by Chen Shu, his eyes were still darkening intermittently.

Chen Shu sat on the window sill eating breakfast, the smell of steamed buns wafted all over the room.Xu You felt like throwing up, and didn't bother to scold him, so she closed her eyes and endured it.Fortunately, the window of the office was open, and the greasy smell dissipated after a while.Chen Shu had enough to eat and drink, and while wiping his hands with a paper towel, he opened a notepad and reported Xu You's work schedule for the day, "There is a meeting in the technical department at 09:30 in the morning. The technical leaders of several projects have been called back by Mr. Meng Kowtow to meet the new minister."

Xu You nodded, indicating that he understood.

"The person in charge of the shipyard project was fired by Boss Meng just now." Chen Shu said again: "Several technical leaders have recommended new people, Boss Meng said to let you figure it out."

Xu You frowned slightly.He had just parachuted into the technical department, and he didn't know anyone's background. He didn't want to make any big moves at this juncture.Who to promote and who not to promote, let's talk about it after a while.

The phone rang, Chen Shu picked it up, handed it to Xu You after a few words of greeting, and mouthed to him: Design Institute.

"Xu Zi? I'm Xiao Tan." The caller was Tan Fei from the Design Institute, the designer Xu You had been in contact with for the longest time. The two of them got along well and had a good personal relationship.

"Why do you think of looking for me today, are you not busy?"

"It's not that I miss you." Tan Fei's voice was unusually anxious, "There may be a problem with the project in the southern suburbs of Longsheng, have they contacted you yet?"

"Longsheng?" Xu You was stunned for a moment, "I've been kicked out of the project, why do you want me?"

Tan Fei hesitated for a moment, "If it wasn't for the design of the transfer station in District D that used your patent, it would be inappropriate for me to tell you about it. However, someone from Longsheng has already found me here, and I guess the next step is to find is you."

Xu You sat up straight involuntarily, "What's going on?"
