behind your back

When they went downstairs, the oncoming man made the three of them stop at the same time. It was not until someone said hi first that Xie Zhihua silently walked behind Wu Mingjia and pretended to be an invisible person.

"Why is Assistant Yang here?"

"I'm here to find someone." He smiled lightly at Gu Jiawei, and Wu Mingjia glanced at her in bewilderment. Even if he tried to break his head, he couldn't guess the intersection between the two.

"Jiawei said that his fiancé who came to see him asked me to meet him too. Could it be Wu Chuyou?"

Jiawei?The shouting was really affectionate... Xie Zhihua frowned. He had never heard Yang Yiqi call anyone in such a gentle voice, and it always felt a little harsh.

Gu Jiawei pursed her lips and took Wu Mingjia's arm without hesitation. "Yeah, you're so smart... Where do you park your car? Let's go to the restaurant together in your car?"

"It's just a few steps ahead."

"So Li Xieli and Jiawei have known each other for a long time?"

"Well, I met through Gu Dong at an auction. I knew that Jiawei had a fiancé, but I didn't know that it happened to be Wu Chuyou. It was a coincidence—" Yang Yiqi turned around while walking, with the corner of his eye When he caught sight of Xie Zhihua, he didn't even look at him. Was it because he was a married man that he refused to admit his feelings for Wu Mingjia?

Gu Jiawei sighed, "It's annoying, I wanted to introduce a big client to Ming Jia as a favor, but I didn't expect you to know each other already."

"What's the matter? Wouldn't it be better to have more kisses? Knowing that Gu Dong is Wu Chu's future father-in-law, you have to take care of yourself first when you say anything in the future."

Gu Jiawei raised her lower lip and stood by the side of the road, Wu Mingjia didn't want to explain to Yang Yiqi the complicated relationship between the two of them because of her family ugliness, so she just laughed along with her.

Yang Yiqi opened the rear door for them in a very gentlemanly manner, and when it was Xie Zhihua's turn, he couldn't help but joked: "Manager Xie is really dedicated to his duty, playing golf with him for a day is not enough, do you even have to accompany him on a date?"

"What about Assistant Manager Yang? Is this trip to discuss business or gossip about Philips?" Xie Zhihua immediately retaliated. Yang Yiqi smiled and opened the passenger seat door to invite him into the car.

"It's boring to drive alone. Manager Xie, will you sit in front with me?"

"I think I'm going to drive my car and then follow yours."

"It's not that you can't sit down, why is it so troublesome?"

"It's inconvenient to go back, I have to send my BOSS home—"

"Why don't you ask your BOSS first whether he is willing to leave his fiancée and go home with you?"

"What?" Xie Zhihua frowned, as if he didn't understand his implication. Wu Mingjia in the car saw the two talking to each other outside the car, because he couldn't hear what they were saying through the glass, so he pressed the button. He lowered the car window and said with concern:

"Senior, why don't you get in the car yet?"

"Oh, here we come."

"Hurry up and get in the car? Your boss's apprentice is urging you." Yang Yiqi said with his lips to Wu Mingjia, leaning against the door and making a gesture of "please". Yan got into the car.

"Will it be hot? Should I turn on the air conditioner more?"

"No, this is just right, thank you." Xie Zhihua, who had forgotten that he didn't wear a tie today, retracted his habit of touching the tie unnaturally. If possible, he wanted to be alone, but there were people who were unwilling to be alone.

"It's easier for people to unbutton a few buttons? You don't need to be so cautious after get off work, right? I don't think Wu Chu will mind." When stopping at a red light, Yang Yiqi found that he was restless all the way and endured it I can't help but want to tease him.

"Thank you, Assistant Manager Yang, for your concern, but I'm used to buttoning up my collar, and I'm not hot at all."

Even Wu Mingjia who was sitting in the back seat could feel that Xie Zhihua was impetuous, but since there was still some distance to the restaurant, Wu Mingjia simply focused on Gu Jiawei, whom they both knew. "By the way, how did Xieli Yang meet Jiawei?"

"She attended a charity gala with Gu Dong. We exchanged business cards, and then we kept in touch... But I only found out about Jiawei and Wu Chu's engagement today. The world is really small. Bar?"

"Yeah, it's really small..."

"It seems that Manager Xie is quite touched by this sentence!" Yang Yiqi glanced at him, Xie Zhihua was slightly startled and then hurriedly said:

"Uh, it's actually not that emotional!"

"You didn't touch me, but I touched it deeply. After traveling around the world, I didn't expect to meet in the city where I was born and raised." Gu Jiawei in the back seat said coldly, her resentful voice echoed in the small space Inside, even Yang Yiqi, who didn't know the inside story, could smell the gloomy atmosphere.

Wu Mingjia looked up at her beautiful but inadvertently sad side face, feeling a little uncomfortable.

If you liked Xie Zhihua so much, why did you break up in the first place?Isn't it because of her that the senior has remained single?Has he completely forgotten "that person"? "Speaking of which, Xie Li Yang and Jiawei should have known each other earlier than we have known each other, right? He even helped to see his fiancé, he must have a good relationship."

"It's not bad, but Wu Chu, don't get me wrong, we are just good friends."

Xie Zhihua couldn't help but have doubts in his heart as he listened.If Gu Jiawei and Yang Yiqi really had a close friendship, even if they didn't know that this person existed in their mutual circle of friends before, they would probably casually talk about him from now on, right?

Will Yiqi Yang keep their relationship a secret?And will Gu Jiawei reveal what happened back then?For a long time, he has been trying his best to create an illusion, to create a chic one who can pat his ass and leave when he gets tired of someone, so he has repeatedly ignored Yang Yiqi's tenderness, even though he is his only man, but He has long believed that his psychology should be buried with the cremation of "him".

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Gu Jiawei elbowed Wu Mingjia a little displeased.

"Just curious, as your fiance in name, there's nothing wrong with me wanting to know more about you, right?"

"The best! What about you? How long have you known Xiaoxie?"

"I have known my senior for a long time. We met when I was still in junior high school."

"The relationship is really good. It's been a few years since I graduated from junior high school, high school, and university, and I'm still tied together all day long. Is Xiao Xie married?"

"Not yet." Xie Zhihua replied lightly, then turned to look at the scenery outside the window, Gu Jiawei in the back seat asked casually:

"Do you have a date?"

"Miss Gu, don't let you worry about my affairs." As if being stabbed in the foot, Xie Zhihua's tone was unusually cold, which aroused Gu Jiawei's dissatisfaction.

"Miss Gu? Xie Zhihua, I didn't realize until today that we are so unfamiliar!"

This excited sound made Yang Yiqi in the front seat also hear something strange, but he was not stupid enough to get involved in this battle, and he still acted as his driver in a law-abiding manner.But what happened to Xie Zhihua and Gu Jiawei?Do they both have something too?The emotional world of these three people is too complicated and confusing.

"There's nothing wrong with us, right?"

"If you have this kind of attitude, then we have nothing to talk about." As if he was angry, Gu Jiawei crossed his arms and turned his head away angrily. Xie Zhihua felt that he was wronged, so he turned around He wanted to argue with her but unexpectedly met Wu Mingjia's eyes.

Why are there inexplicable emotions in those godlike eyes?Was he the one less trustworthy than the woman he'd just met?

"Why don't Manager Xie accompany me to the parking lot, the two of you should go ahead and confirm the reservation?" Yang Yiqi, who remained silent all the way, put an end to the dispute in good time. After Wu Mingjia and Gu Jiawei got off the car, he deliberately drove the car to a farther place. In the parking space, Xie Zhihua in the passenger seat was already overwhelmed, and buried his face in his hands exhaustedly.

"Didn't you be fine when you left at noon? What happened in just a few hours?"

"nothing……"

"Then why are you sighing?" Worried that the seat belt would be uncomfortable, he thoughtfully wanted to untie it for Xie Zhihua but was not appreciated. Yang Yiqi looked at his hand that was waved away, and said with a slight smile:

"You'll only take your anger out on me, don't you really let Gu Jiawei down?"

Xie Zhihua looked up at him and couldn't help laughing, "Even if you think so, you can't blame Ming Jia for thinking so, right?"

"So you've been 'misunderstood'?"

"Even if there is, it's none of your business."

"It's none of my business that she's my friend?"

"Then go ask her, why ask me?"

"Because I care more about you."

Xie Zhihua was startled, and it took a few seconds before he recovered his voice. "Do you care about me? Don't be nervous, it's Gu Jiawei who you care about, right?"

He felt that the air in the car was unbearably stuffy. He quickly unbuckled his seat belt and wanted to get out of the car, but when he turned around, his arm was lightly clasped. Obviously, someone didn't ask the answer and didn't give up.

"Xie Zhihua, did you like girls before, but later found that you seemed to have more feelings for men, so you stopped dating girls? Is that so?"

"I don't want to answer such a boring question of yours!" Xie Zhihua glared at him, and once again wanted to open the door but Yang Yiqi stopped him.

"What the hell are you trying to do!" He almost roared angrily after being dragged back to the passenger seat again.

"No, I'm just curious as to why you're angry."

"Who is angry?"

"It's just you, is there anyone else here?"

"Stop rambling, I'm getting out of the car."

"Xie Zhihua! Why don't you face up to your own problems?"

"Do you care if I like men or women? You just need to take care of yourself! Please don't bother me anymore!" As if running away, Xie Zhihua slammed the car door and slammed it loudly. Yang Yiqi sat in the car Looking at his impetuous back, Nei couldn't help frowning.

When the unhappiness in the car continued to the dining table, Gu Jiawei and Xie Zhihua, the "former lovers", were extremely jealous when they met. Coupled with the lack of speculation, the meal ended in less than an hour.

Gu Jiawei didn't let Wu Mingjia send him off, he was happy and relaxed, and when he turned around and saw Xie Zhihua's worried face, he wanted to go up to comfort him, but before he took a step forward, he remembered that he seemed to be having trouble with him and had no position to bow his head first, so he deliberately ignored He went to chat with Yang Yiqi.

"I'm sorry to make Assistant Yang laugh."

"Women, it's okay to have a little temper, but she and Manager Xie seem to be a little unhappy."

"It's not because someone has an unforgettable old relationship."

"Which one is Wu Chu talking about?"

"Whichever you think looks like is the one." In the past, he felt that Xie Zhihua lived a simple and simple life like himself, so the two would always keep at the same pace, but he recently discovered that he was actually just superficially obedient and law-abiding. Otherwise, why don't you return to camp at night?Why did an ex-girlfriend pop up all of a sudden?

He almost thought that Xie Zhihua and him were the same kind of person, people who took each other as the center of rotation.

Wan didn't expect that he was as dishonest as everyone else, and after he showed his sincerity to each other, he still had so many secrets behind his back.

If you still can't let go after breaking up for so many years, why did you break up in the first place?If he could associate with another person so easily, he shouldn't have cried so sadly in front of him in the first place. Looking back now, those two lines of tears are really ironic, and even he was moved.

Wu Mingjia passed Yang Yiqi and looked at Xie Zhihua, who was still in deep thought behind him, thinking that he should find a chance to speak clearly with him, he could no longer always play the role of a well-behaved junior in front of him, and could no longer want to When I touched him, I could only cover up my desire for him with a tone of calling him a brother... He wanted him, wanted to hug him with these hands, wanted his future tears to flow only for himself, wanted to get from him He completely erased the image of "that person" in his heart, and he wanted to imprint the name Wu Mingjia in his heart, instead of being just the younger brother of "that person".

Yang Yiqi followed his increasingly solemn gaze and turned around. Seeing Xie Zhihua still standing on the side of the road with a long face, she walked over and patted him on the shoulder. "It's getting late, shall I take the two of you home?"

Wu Mingjia and Xie Zhihua looked up at him at the same time, one of them put his hands in his pockets indifferently, while the other hurriedly distanced himself from him as if he was afraid of causing a bigger misunderstanding.

"I'll just take a taxi back, so I won't bother Yang Xieli. If it's convenient, can you send the boss to me? Anyway, I have to go back to the company to get the car, so Yang Xiexiang must not be on the way, right?" Xie Zhihua avoided it for fear of being late. Slamming the door on Yang Yiqi, how could he still have the face to give him a free ride?

"Senior wants to go back to the company? Then I'll accompany you—" Forgot that he had just sneered at Xie Zhihua, and when he got a chance to be alone, he immediately changed his face. Xie Zhihua couldn't bear his hot and cold emotions, With a wry smile:

"No need, I'll leave after I get the car. It's not like going back to work overtime. You've been tired all day. Let Assistant Yang take you back directly?"

"If you just want to go home, I'll just take a taxi, so why bother Mr. Yang—" Xie Zhihua usually says this to mean rejecting him. Doesn't he know that he is giving him a step down and giving him a peace? chance?As long as he explained the past between him and Gu Jiawei clearly, he could let it go, but he gave up.

"Then you go first, I want to go for a while and be alone."

"Senior—"

"I'll help watch him, why don't you go first?" Yang Yiqi became a good person at the right time even though he was in the fog. Xie Zhihua ignored him and walked on his own. Although Wu Mingjia was annoyed by his previous rude words, But since all the hurtful words have been said, I am afraid that the water will be too much to cover, so I have to find another opportunity to apologize.

Although his heart was still in the local area, he finally got into a taxi under the watchful eyes of the two.

"What's going on?" Wu Mingjia just walked away, but Yang Yiqi pulled Xie Zhihua into the car.

It's just that Xie Zhihua, who cooperated by accident, seemed to have lost his usual combat effectiveness, lying on the passenger seat, looking dying.

"Am I talking to a deaf person?"

"You are the deaf-mute person!" Xie Zhihua pushed back mercilessly as if he couldn't stand his narrow-mindedness. Yang Yiqi frowned, and said innocently:

"Oh, so I can hear you." He couldn't help laughing after accepting a roll of his eyes:

"Okay, okay, I know you ate dynamite today so I won't make trouble with you. But you seem to have offended everyone today, and even the tone of the boss's apprentice is not right. What's wrong with you?"

"What's the matter?"

"I just asked you if I felt something."

"We're fine, thank you for your concern."

"Xie Zhihua, since you know that I care about you, your answer is meaningless."

"There is nothing, otherwise what do you want me to answer?"

"You don't think there is anything, but I think he looks jealous..."

"What are you freaking out about?"

"It's not crazy, I can see it clearly, I'm thinking, maybe you and Jiawei have "dated" and made him mind?"

"Yang Yiqi, I'm begging you! Can you stop reminding me of this unnecessary thing? I can't clean it up even if I jumped into the Yellow River..."

"Hey, the girls don't mean to wash it off, but you, as a man, have left it completely—"

"What am I leaving? I was framed at all!" As if he couldn't stand his sarcasm, Xie Zhihua couldn't help speaking out when he got angry.

"I think the person who cares is not Ming Jia but you? You have been asking me all night about the relationship between Gu Jiawei and me. Are you really just good friends?"

"Don't blur the focus anymore, Xie Zhihua...I said you should wake up too. She will be the wife Wu Mingjia Mingmei is marrying in the future. Shouldn't you just give up?"

"Give up? This heart has died a long time ago, can it die a second time?"

"What did you say?" Yang Yiqi asked again as if he didn't hear Xie Zhihua clearly, but he turned his head away and hid his face.

"Let me just say it once, Gu Jiawei and I are just old friends, there is nothing between us... Also, I will sincerely bless her and Ming Jia, I don't understand what you are worrying about... You are worried about me Are you going to make trouble? Please, I told you long ago that Ming Jia and I are not the kind of relationship you think, why do you always disbelieve me?"

"Because you haven't told me the truth, and you are so close, how do you want me to believe you?"

"T-truth? How can there be any truth?"

"Jiawei mentioned to me that she had a boyfriend before, but he always pretended to be a dead person in his heart, so they couldn't go on anymore. Do you know her boyfriend?"

"I do not recognize……"

"Really? She also said that the dead man in his boyfriend's heart is still a man. She always asked me what it means when a man thinks about another man with all his heart? Guess how I answered her of?"

"I don't care how you answer! Do you drive or not? If you don't drive, I will get out of the car!" Xie Zhihua indifferently closed the topic, he turned to open the car door but was pushed back.

Yang Yiqi smiled slightly, and came over to help him buckle up his seat belt. "I think I should know her boyfriend... I think the next time I meet Jiawei, I can tell her clearly that when a man only thinks about another man with all his heart, it means" like"--"

"Let me get out of the car!"

"Don't joke around on the road, just sit down! Or do you want to take me to accompany him?" Yang Yiqi pressed the central lock to prevent Xie Zhihua from doing stupid things. He stepped on the accelerator and drove onto the road, letting their car blend into this car. One of the city's scenery.

"It turned out that the man I knew insisted not to let anyone enter his heart for the sake of this love that ended without a disease... Even I only got his body... Do you think it is necessary for him to torture himself like this?"

"What I said, fuck your ass." He turned his head to avoid meeting his eyes.It seems that Gu Jiawei really told Yang Yiqi everything, and all the sad events of the past were laid out in the sun, word by word.

Well now, there were no more secrets between them, and he could laugh at his stupidity and innocence as much as he could.

"Is your boss' junior a substitute for 'that person'?"

"No." He replied decisively and also very coldly. What else does this guy want to ask?Don't you feel like you're meddling too much?

"Then why did you look at him with heartbroken eyes?"

"Where do I have it?"

"The authorities are confused, but the bystanders are clear. It doesn't matter if you continue to deny, anyway, what I see is the truth."

"Are you done yet?"

"Of course it's not over yet. Is your boss's apprentice someone who belongs to 'that person'? To keep you by his side for so long, the relationship must not be pure, right?"

"Yang Yiqi, do you live by the sea? It's so wide——"

"Don't you know where I live best? Don't you often go to my house?"

"Boring! I'm tired, I'm going to sleep, don't bother me anymore."

"Xie Zhihua, are you going to be an ostrich again?"

Xie Zhihua turned his back and didn't respond, thinking that Yang Yiqi would guess [-]% of the time, if it wasn't that he was too smart, or that God wasn't on his side at all.What good would it do him to ask so much?If it was purely for watching his jokes, then today should be enough, right?

He spent the whole night torturing him, just to hope that he would not destroy Wu Mingjia and Gu Jiawei's marriage?Who the hell did he take him for?Is he that crazy?Because my elder brother is gone, I found my younger brother to replace him. If the relationship can be transferred, why should he hold the memory and suffer for ten years?

"Xie Zhihua, are you really asleep?"

Xie Zhihua forced himself to close his eyes, and after closing them, he really fell asleep. When he regained consciousness, he found that he seemed to be falling. When he woke up, he saw that the car was sliding down a weakly illuminated slope Said, he hastily confirmed the scenery outside the window.

"Where is this place?"

"The parking lot downstairs."

"Downstairs to your house? Aren't you going to take me back to the company?"

"I was going to take you back to the company, and I did pass by your company, but you were in a deep sleep, and you didn't wake up after calling you several times, so I drove back."

"Then, you should also take me back to my house, right? How could I drive back to your house!"

"I don't know where you live...or are you willing to tell me?" Yang Yiqi put on the handbrake and leaned back on the seat and lowered his eyebrows. Xie Zhihua felt that he was wrong, and looked away embarrassingly.

"Forget it, I'll get off here, and I'll call a car to go back."

"Since you're all here, why don't you spend the night here? Anyway, it's not like you haven't lived in my house before."

"Wouldn't it be inconvenient?" Isn't he about to be eliminated?How is it now?Even when it was about to break up, this man could still show his demeanor so that he couldn't even scold him.

"You have come to my house so many times, is it inconvenient for you?"

With smiling eyes, Xie Zhihua couldn't look straight at the eyes that were too hot. He was vaguely aware of that persistence, and he sat back without resisting the force of holding him.

"Stop quarreling with me, often quarreling can easily lead to a short life."

"Do you want to live long?"

"Why don't you want to? There are so many good things in this world, living one more day counts as one more day, it's not like some people don't have this blessing even if they want to live one more day—" Yang Yiqi slowly moved her head closer until the knife engraved Xie Zhihua only remembered to push him away and get out of the car in embarrassment as his deep and handsome face magnified in his field of vision.

Yang Yiqi followed him out of the car and hugged him into his arms from behind without haste, without giving him the slightest chance to break free. "Honestly, it hurts me to see you like this. Your boss and junior shouldn't have misunderstood you like this..."

He leaned his head on his neck and shoulders, without kissing or dawdling, just passing on his body temperature, but Xie Zhihua felt very strange.

In his memory, Yang Yiqi's tone was always frivolous and uninhibited, so the low and hoarse way of speaking like tonight made him at a loss for what to do.

"I know you just regard me as a safe haven...you just regard me as a good medicine to numb the pain. I don't mind continuing to play this role in the future...but don't stretch yourself so tightly, okay?"

"I don't understand what you're talking about, what's more, I remember that we seem to be arguing..." Xie Zhihua struggled a little, but his tone was much softer than before, and Yang Yiqi couldn't help stealing a kiss on his cheek .

"You're so forgetful, didn't we reconcile just now?"

That laughter was as light as rain falling into the water in the middle of the night. Although it was not in a hurry, it made ripples silently in his heart. Between circles, he suddenly remembered that they had maintained this relationship for more than a year.

Unexpectedly, a moment of self-abandonment made him meet Yang Yiqi. He may be more eager to be loved than a lover. Although this person does not love him, he is the only one who understands him and is willing to spare time to pamper him. .

Compared with the love that he could only look up to, he despicably grabbed the driftwood at hand, knowing that this was an extremely selfish behavior, but he had no other choice.

After all, a person is really lonely, and when he wants to catch his breath occasionally, he is probably the only one who can take him in, right?
