fault tolerance

City Y hasn't changed at all.

In the depths of the end of the year, the air is unbearably damp and cold.The people who got off the red-eye flight yawned and listlessly went to get their suitcases, but they were blown straight by the cold wind in the aisle, and they all woke up instantly, grinning and shivering with cold.

Tang Lou didn't have much luggage, so he was the last one in the line.

The bitter northwest wind blew on his cheeks and got in through the loose neckline again, making him shiver.

It's so cold.

"Hiss—" Tang Lou stomped his feet, gasped, and frowned.The irritability in my heart rose again, spreading little by little.

The 12-hour flight seems to have passed in the blink of an eye, but he has not yet prepared an opening statement.

Along the way, he sat upright, didn't say a word, and stared out the window intently. The distance of 8 kilometers is separated by mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, countless cities and villages, and a full six time zones.

Never miss him for a moment.

The figure in my mind was walking towards me with the light behind the blue sea, and the light and wet hair was shining brightly in the sun.At the beginning, the contours of the facial features could not be seen clearly, and the light blurred all emotions.

Until the other party gets closer and closer, close enough to count the smile lines on the corners of his mouth, close enough to smell the salty sea breeze on his body, close enough to embrace him as soon as he stretches out his hand.

Really, as long as you reach out, you can hug him.

On that midsummer evening when he was 19, Tang Lou could...

Someone who can hug.

Is it too late now.

Zhou Yu---

Along the way, the name kept swirling in Tang Lou's throat, and he swallowed it again and again.

Even calling out his name again became extremely difficult, like a lump stuck in his throat, unable to move.What should I do?

Tang Lou pushed the suitcase and walked out.The sky has just started to snow, and there are many, and there are also fine pieces of snow mixed with it.The long-lost snow fell on the back of his neck impartially, and the cold touch made him shrink his neck uncontrollably.

The street lights at the passenger exit were very dazzling, Tang Lou stared at the snowflakes flying all over the sky under the lights, and stared blankly for a while.With the fine snow and the wind, clusters of seemingly weightless snow fell on Tang Lou's outstretched palm and melted quickly.

Tang Lou shook hands, only controlling the nothingness with one palm.

I miss you, Brother Zhou Yu.

The snow in the palm of my hand is not yet dry, and there is no trace of sighing.Tang Lou walked in a hurry, pushing the suitcase to find the car to pick him up.

Siqi must have been waiting for a long time.

Tang Lou got into the black Mercedes nanny car. She was yawning, her eyes were misty, she wiped the tip of her nose habitually, and said sorry.

He took the prepared coffee and took a sip, it was a little cold.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bought coffee." Seeing him frowning unconsciously, Siqi exclaimed, "It's late at night, I probably won't be able to sleep after drinking it."

Holding the paper cup, Tang Lou comforted: "I just need it, and I have jet lag."

The bitterness of the coffee just soothes the emptiness in the bottom of my heart, and the aftertaste is still a little sweet.

Siqi breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed Maisui's curly hair, released the handbrake, started the wipers, and was ready to go.The snowflakes fell on the windshield of the car, and the passenger's wiper was not working well, and it could only draw half of the arc.

Tang Lou couldn't see the way ahead, and in fact there was nothing to see.

The snow is getting bigger and bigger.

"The wipers haven't had time to be repaired yet." Siqi wrinkled her nose and gave an explanation with a slightly complaining tone, "The fans were so crazy last time, they thought Brother Zhou Yu was riding in this car and climbed directly onto the hood."

Ahem... Zhou Yu!

This name hit Tang Lou's heart unexpectedly.

So fast?

Thought it would be a little later.

The name he was reluctant to say, unwilling to say, and dare not mention was casually mentioned by Siqi.

Tang Lou was unprepared, the soft flesh in his heart seemed to be pinched by someone, and then let go again, unable to catch his breath.The snowflakes that had just landed on the neckline finally melted into water droplets, passing across the back, causing a small shiver.

Tang Lou clenched the paper cup in his hand, and blurted out: "Then is he there?"

what happened?

Uh... actually asked out.

Tang Lou held his breath, afraid that Siqi could hear the thousands of twists and turns of emotions.

Siqi was busy starting to turn left at the intersection, and didn't realize his question, so she gave a soft "hmm".I don't know if it is the default, or is it asking?

Tang Lou changed the subject with a guilty conscience: "Is Tang Jun okay?"

The car belongs to the company.Has Zhou Yu ever gotten into this car, and what difference does it make if he has sat in this seat?He and Tang Jun were originally a company, entering and exiting at the same time, not to mention...

"He! He's getting more and more popular. Busy, very busy, very busy. He just finished recording a variety show and is attending a thank-you banquet. After a while, he has to go to the film and television base in W City." Siqi suddenly said playfully. Tongue, "I came out for a trip, it can be regarded as AWOL."

Tang Lou pushed the round thin-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, listened attentively, and answered a few words from time to time.He listened to Siqi's "report" on Tang Jun's recent situation, what new dramas he has filmed, what endorsements he has received, how many times he has been on the hot searches, and the CP that is being hyped recently.

He knew that as long as Tang Jun was mentioned, Siqi would not be able to hold back the chatter, and would not stop talking.

Talking about Tang Jun is always easier than discussing Zhou Yu, at least he can handle the topic.

Although it is unavoidable, it is better to know about Zhou Yu's news later.

He is not ready.

It's a pity that Siqi has no heart and no lungs. After all these years, she didn't realize that she had unreasonable thoughts about Zhou Yu, so she talked back while talking.

"By the way, the CPs that the fans are drinking now are him and brother Zhou Yu. The two of them acted in a web drama with the theme of God of Cooking before, and it became very popular. Now everyone calls them "sugar water taro balls". " Siqi said I couldn't stop talking about Tang Jun, "When the two of them interacted with each other, it was very interesting."

"Yeah." No matter how deliberately avoiding it, Tang Lou sighed silently in his heart.

His voice really trembled.

"Brother Zhou Yu's resources are great now. Mr. Tang thinks highly of him." Siqi went on to gossip, "This afternoon's planning meeting is still discussing whether to cooperate with Ren Xiaoxiao! Her popularity is also very high recently."

"I don't know much about the entertainment industry." Tang Lou said in a neutral tone, but the corners of his eyes drooped.

Say no more.

Zhou Yu's CP, his next "partner", is not interested.

"You say you don't care about the family business at all." Siqi and him have been friends since junior high school, and they have a good relationship, and they don't have too many scruples in speaking, "Mr. Tang is so powerful..."

"Tang Jun is enough." After Tang Lou finished speaking, he looked out the window, not wanting to continue the conversation.

His parents divorced, and he returned to the Tang family at the age of 13. Naturally, he took a different path from Tang Jun.

The two brothers, no matter how similar they look, are still two different people.

Tang Lou had no choice but to accept some things early on and treat them as if he didn't care.

The snow outside the window is coming more and more, and will soon cover the entire city.

After going abroad for two years, Tang Lou still lived with Tang Jun when he came back.Tang Jun's time expired and he rarely stayed at home, and the duplex apartment building was often empty.

Before that, he sent back all his luggage, most of which were books, nothing else.

The school gave him another one-month vacation, so he didn't have to be so anxious to come back.

But Tang Lou didn't hold back, bought a plane ticket and came back.He convinced himself that the school's domestic projects are also very tight, and he can't get cheap and act good.

This is just an excuse.

He is very simple, he misses Zhou Yu too much.

I want to avoid seeing him, but I also want to be in front of him all the time.

People are always so contradictory.

Tang Lou almost wanted to describe himself as a sanctimonious, gentle scum, so he could only swallow the cold coffee one after another.

After sending Tanglou to the entrance of the community, Siqi didn't get out of the car.She checked the time on her phone, and it was getting late. Tang Jun was about to finish the banquet and was about to go to W City.

"We'll meet again when you come back. Thank you." Tang Lou sincerely thanked him when he closed the car door.

"You are welcome! You are back." Siqi smiled at him, with a look of relief, "Go in quickly."

Tang Lou waited for her car to pass the end of the street before pushing the suitcase into the community, snowflakes fell all over her body.

The coffee has a lot of stamina, and he was blown by a northwest wind mixed with snowflakes, which made him extremely awake.

After leaving for a long time, no matter how familiar a place is, it reveals a sense of disobedience.

The trees beside the road have grown taller, the flower beds have been re-trimmed, and the walkway is full of lanterns to welcome the new year. Counting the days, Christmas is still two weeks away.

However, the security guard in the lobby is still the same.

Seeing him coming in through the revolving door, the security guard said hello: "Mr. Tang, good evening."

Tang Lou walked two steps forward, and heard him exclaim again: "Ah, it's Professor Tang. Are you back?"

Outdoor boots paired with a jacket really doesn't look like Tang Jun's style.Tang Lou laughed at himself secretly, and replied, "I'm back."

He stopped, took off his backpack, and took out a black and ugly doll ornament from it.

Tang Lou stuffed the doll into Xiao Ma's palm, and explained: "The people over there will use this to pray for safety and prosperity."

The honest and honest pony had been muttering in his heart when he saw this ugly doll, but when he heard Tang Lou say that he could keep safe and smooth, his face blossomed again: "Thank you, Professor Tang, my wife will be happy after the new year." It's about to be born, twins. Thank you for your kind words."

Twins.

Tang Lou lowered his head and smiled, very good.

Xiao Ma is playing with the ugly doll with his hands, and lifts it above his head. The light from the crystal chandelier just hits it, creating a hazy feeling.He thought about it, not knowing what wish he was making for the children.

Tang Lou took the elevator upstairs directly, and received a call from Tang Jun in the car.

"Brother, is Siqi going to pick you up?" Tang Jun said carelessly, "I waited for a long time, but I didn't see her."

Tang Lou rolled his eyes and laughed muffledly: "She has already gone back, she should be here soon."

"Oh..." Tang Jun dragged his voice, "The password of the house has not been changed, and your luggage has been put in the room, and I haven't packed it. By the way, there are some gifts from the brand, and I left some for you."

"Thank you." Tang Lou frowned. Most of the gifts Tang Junsai gave him were too trendy to use.But thank you politely.

"You're welcome! Don't say anything, it's too cold outside, I'll go in." As usual, Tang Jun hung up the phone without waiting for Tang Lou to reply.

When putting the phone in his pocket, a thought flashed before Tang Lou's eyes.Is Zhou Yu recording a show with Tang Jun?

Not necessarily so coincidental.

If they were together, Siqi would have mentioned it just now, right?

Tang Lou took a deep breath and did not come out until he got out of the elevator.

What about being together?I can't control anything.

There are two households in one elevator. When you get out of the elevator, you have to pass by the sofa rest area for guests, then open left and right, and then go to their respective doors.

The rest area hasn't changed much, but the sofa seems to be changed.The original maroon velvet fabric sofa has been changed to a dark brown European-style leather sofa, and there is an extra row of bookshelves next to it, and there are really a lot of books on it.

The property really does its job.

After all, he is a teacher, Tang Lou is still a little kind to the full bookshelves, and feels a little more relaxed.

At this time, there was a "plop" at the door of the house, and someone groaned.

Tang Lou quickly walked a few steps and went to the door of the house to have a look.

bang

The man fell on the entrance door of Tang's house, and the big wooden door was slammed down hard.

Is the neighbor across the street drunk?He had never met the family before, and it was hard to draw conclusions.

"Sir? Are you okay?" Tang Lou patted the man on the shoulder and greeted him kindly.

The "drunk man" stood up holding the door, and fell on Tang Lou's body before he could stand still. A handsome red face fell into his arms, with delicately dyed chestnut hair, sword-shaped eyebrows, eyes half-opened, good-looking Eyelashes cast a shadow.

The smell of alcohol was overwhelming, but he could still vaguely smell the cedar-scented perfume emanating from his body.

Still a familiar taste.

His heart trembled, and his body froze immediately. He didn't know what to do next, so he could only whisper the other party's name: "Zhou Yu".

"Huh?" Zhou Yu hummed vaguely.
