Wu Xie, see you!

亲密 爱 人

Wu Xie didn't sleep well.

It was still dark when I woke up, and I didn't know what time it was.He turned over and found that Zhang Qiling was squeezed to the side of the bed by himself, with only a quilt corner on his body, so he quickly covered him, and moved back to make room.Zhang Qiling's back was slightly curled up, looking a little aggrieved, Wu Xie looked at it, squeezed back, and hugged the cool body from behind.I've tried to be as light as possible, but it still wakes him up.

Zhang Qiling touched his hand: "Why did you wake up?"

"Just woke up," Wu Xie pulled him and told him to go in, "Go on to sleep, and I'll cover you."

Zhang Qiling turned around, his eyes glowed in the darkness, and he seemed to be smiling: "How can I sleep like this?"

"Hey," Wu Xie smiled, "Then I'd better get up, I really can't fall asleep."

He was about to get up, but was held down by Zhang Qiling: "Don't worry, wait."

"Waiting for what?" Wu Xie asked.

"Kiss me and I'll tell you."

"Why do you think this is a conspiracy..."

"Quick, there's no time." He said, bringing his face closer.

Wu Xie was skeptical, but he was also in a joking mood. The answer was not important, and a kiss would not hurt.But just after kissing him, he was startled and shivered.Behind Zhang Qiling, without warning, the alarm clock of "Ring Ling Ling" rang... the alarm clock... rang... and vibrated with a fucking buzz!

Just as Wu Xie was in shock, she saw Zhang Qiling's body seemed to be shaking, and then she realized that she really kicked him twice: "How dare you play me!"

"I want to get up with you." Zhang Qiling was kicked away and stuck to him.

"How did you know the alarm clock was going to ring!" Wu Xie also laughed angrily.

"Kiss me, and I'll tell you." He even did it again!

"roll!"

This was the first time in months that I woke up with him.

A quarter past six... Wu Xie knew that his alarm clock was always earlier than his own wake-up time, but he didn't expect it to be so much earlier.The two of you take a shower together, so you don't care about romance, passion, or impulsiveness.Crowded in the small bathroom, almost every action has to be courteous to each other, or two people will fight with hands and feet, or bump into the wall, not to mention going to work... When Wu Xie was brushing his teeth, Zhang Qiling was flushing the water.I don't know if it's the shadow cast by the light on his eyelashes, but I suddenly feel that he has dark circles under his eyes.

Before we got together, I guessed that he had tattoos several times, and I will always remember that when I saw it for the first time, the shock in my heart and the impulse gushing out of my body seemed to be completely surrendered.Now, it can be so ordinary in front of his eyes... Wu Xie walked over, hugged him from behind, touched Zhang Qiling's chest, and even held a toothbrush in his hand.

Zhang Qiling froze, stretched out his hand to turn off the water, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Wu Xie didn't know what to say, so he didn't speak.

"Don't want to go to work today?" Zhang Qiling grabbed his hand, "Then touch the bottom."

"..." If I don't go someday, I will go today!Obviously knowing...it must be intentional. "Let's be pure in thought," as soon as he spoke, he remembered that his mouth was full of toothpaste foam and he hadn't rinsed his mouth. He lowered his head and rubbed Zhang Qiling's freshly washed shoulder, "I just came to you to wipe my mouth."

Wu Xie put on his shirt and tie, and when he walked to the door of the kitchen, Zhang Qiling hadn't changed yet, only wearing a T-shirt. He was chopping shallots, and a handful of chopped coriander had already been piled up on the chopping board.

"Are you cold?" he asked.

Zhang Qiling turned his head, glanced at him, and shook his head.Then he put down the knife, washed his hands, and came over to help him tie his tie.Meanwhile, Wu Xie kept staring at the two pale blue shadows under his eyes in a daze.

"What are you looking at?" Zhang Qiling fastened his tie and pushed up the tie knot, "Is it tight?"

Wu Xie shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just right."

Zhang Qiling straightened his neckline again, patted him and said, "Don't be cold, go and put on your pants."

"The water is boiling." Wu Xie raised his chin behind him, his whole heart seemed to be rolling with the boiling water, constantly ups and downs...

Breakfast is here. On a cold winter morning, a bowl of hot soup is perfect.The wontons were made in advance last night. Seeing Zhang Qiling kneading the noodles, rolling out the skins, and filling them with ease, he couldn't help making trouble and made some.Wu Xie rummaged through the soup with a spoon, and scattered all the floating shallots, coriander, and shrimp skins, but he didn't see the ones he wrapped so ugly.Zhang Qiling was changing clothes in the room, Wu Xie took a look with his head, then got up, stretched the spoon into the opposite bowl and stirred, and found a few pieces of dough and two "meatballs" in the wonton.Hearing that someone came out, he quickly sat back and glanced at the wall clock. It was 7 o'clock, which happened to be the time Zhang Qiling woke him up every day...

"Don't make breakfast in the future." After eating, Wu Xie suddenly said.

Zhang Qiling was stunned for a moment, his eyes cast doubts.

"You can just buy some bread and milk, and you don't need to heat it up," Wu Xie continued, "I'll look at the house in the past two days, and find a place close to the company to rent first. It's not a problem to live so far away."

Zhang Qiling nodded, picked up his empty bowl, got up and walked in front of him, saying: "You can decide where to live." He didn't even pay attention to the breakfast he said.

Wu Xie grabbed the hand he stretched out to take the bowl, but that hand was still cold, and he held it tightly without speaking, "It must be a house with 24-hour hot water", but he thought so in his heart.Wu Xie looked up at him, Zhang Qiling smiled slightly: "What are you looking at?" After finishing speaking, he bent down and kissed him on the mouth, and then brushed his hair, "The hair is not dry, this morning, go blow it yourself. "

On the way to the parking space, Zhang Qiling suddenly asked him: "Tomorrow is Saturday, go out for a stroll?"

Wu Xie was a little surprised. After getting along with her, she found that this person was really more of a homebody than him. On weekends, they both stayed at home as a matter of course.Why do you suddenly want to go shopping?Probably seeing his doubts, Zhang Qiling raised his chin towards him: "Go and buy a better bag, yours should be changed, and buy some more clothes."

Wu Xie looked down, he was still holding the backpack in his hand, and now he had to wear formal clothes every day, and he really couldn't make do anymore.

"Do you know... any good movies recently?" Zhang Qiling asked again.

Wu Xie froze for a moment, then laughed: "Still watching movies? Date?"

Zhang Qiling stopped talking, turned his head away, and continued to walk forward.Wu Xie quit, chased after him and broke his arm, insisted on looking at his face, and teased him with a smile: "Tell me, do you want to date me? Tell me!"

The more he hides and looks more, the more he looks and hides, it's nothing to do at first, but after being made such a fuss, Zhang Qiling's face obviously couldn't hold back, he was embarrassed and helpless.Seeing it, Wu Xie couldn't help it anymore, and hugged him directly, obviously wanting to say "have a good date", but laughed "hahaha" very arrogantly.

"Someone." Zhang Qiling whispered, wanting to break his hand.

"Whatever," Wu Xie hugged him even tighter, and stopped laughing, "Let me drive today, or I won't let go."

"Why do you want to drive suddenly?" Zhang Qiling raised his eyebrows.

"Kiss me, I'll tell you." Wu Xie had a sly look on his face.

"..." Zhang Qiling raised his eyebrows again, looking like he was going all out, "Should I also say 'get lost'?"

"Try it." Wu Xie looked serious.

Zhang Qiling kissed him, pinched his face, pretending to be stern: "Say."

Wu Xie just chased after her with her mouth again, and returned a sudden and long kiss.Until he also hugged tightly in response, and finally let go of each other and stared at each other.Nothing was said, nothing needed to be said.

The expressway lived up to expectations and was blocked as always, basically moving forward a little bit with the brakes on.Wu Xie took a look at it, and Zhang Qiling really fell asleep in the co-pilot.The sun was dazzling, he stretched out his hand, took off the passenger sun visor, and pressed the seat heating, the softest lowest gear.The person who fell asleep gradually loosened his brows.Wu Xie smiled, and wanted to turn off the radio as well, but she was reluctant, so she just turned down the volume and continued listening to the song.Even though there was a traffic jam, I didn't feel annoyed at all.

Arrived at the company, more than 10 minutes earlier than usual.Zhang Qiling stepped into his office first.Wu Xie was outside, turning on the computer and the coffee machine as usual.Accompanied by the sound of grinding coffee beans, he took out a carton of milk from the freezer, poured it into a milk jug, heated it, frothed it, poured it into the coffee he had made, and finally sprinkled some sugar on the milk froth.This is something Cindy didn't realize before, Zhang Qiling loves sweets very much, and likes to eat this kind of milk froth.

Wu Xie has the privilege to not have to knock on the door.He directly pushed the door open and put the coffee in front of Zhang Qiling. "Here, you drink first." Of course, there is also the privilege of not having to be called "Mr. Zhang" in private.

"Where's yours?" Zhang Qiling looked up from the computer and asked him.

"I won't drink now, I haven't checked my email yet, come back when I'm done, call me if I need something." Wu Xie was about to leave, but Zhang Qiling pouted unexpectedly.Although it was just a click, he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that those eyes were looking at him "very pitifully"...

Usually they have a drink each, and the two sit face to face, or they may be on the sofa, shoulder to shoulder.During the time for a cup of coffee, he took the schedule book and told him about today's arrangements, but there were a lot of things to deal with today, so he said to let him drink first... Wu Xie gritted his teeth: "You won, Take your coffee and follow me outside."

Back outside, he immediately started working.Zhang Qiling followed, put the cup of coffee on his desk without disturbing him, made another cup by himself, then sat across from him, seeing that he was busy, and flipping through the schedule when he was bored.Wu Xie went through all the newly received emails and the to-do items in the fax, then looked up and smiled at Zhang Qiling, and said, "Look, you can ignore them first. In short, your schedule today It’s still what I told you yesterday, you have the book, if you forget, you can read it yourself.”

Zhang Qiling nodded: "I remember."

Wu Xie thought for a while, and then said: "Actually... I don't think it is necessary to attend the MX meeting at 2 o'clock. You can go or not. You see, you have a Con-Call with the headquarters at 3:[-], and there will be one in the morning Yes, there are still meetings all afternoon, are you tired, it's not enough to torment."

"You don't want to see Fatty and the others?" Zhang Qiling asked suddenly.

So it was for him?Wu Xie looked at him and said, "If you want to see them, there is no need to have a meeting." He stretched out his hand and held Zhang Qiling's hand across the table, becoming serious, but his tone was still soft: "Don't always do it for me." , made myself so tired..."

Zhang Qiling looked down, held Wu Xie's hand with his backhand, and rubbed his thumb lightly. He seemed to like it very much. "I'm not tired," he said.Just as Wu Xie wanted to say, "What's the matter with the dark circles under your eyes if you're not tired", Zhang Qiling suddenly raised his eyes and opened his mouth again. "You too," he said, and lifted his chin. "The coffee's cold."

What hard work do I have, it's just a matter of my job, not to mention, there will be no chance in the future... Wu Xie's heart seems to be tied.Today is his last day as Zhang Qiling's secretary, and Cindy will be back next Monday.Before, Zhang Qiling sent a letter of recommendation to HR, and he successfully became a member of HYF's advertising department, in Jason's group.Of course, the position and salary are higher than those in MX, and there is even a subordinate.But he suddenly felt that it was okay to be his secretary all the time...

"Okay," Wu Xie drank the cold coffee in one go, and smiled at him, "You have an appointment with the marketing department at 9:6, and it's almost time now." His hand was still held by Zhang Qiling, and he could only hold it for a while. Turning slowly with one hand, he took out a stack of folders. "All the materials you want have been printed and ordered. There are [-] copies in total. The conference room is also booked for you. It is the one you like. I have already notified the time and place."

Zhang Qiling nodded.

Wu Xie smiled meaningfully. "Since Mr. Zhang loves me so much..." He raised his chin towards the information, "Just post it yourself, I won't follow along today."

The phone always likes to ring at inopportune times.They let go of each other's hands, and Wu Xie glanced at the caller number, knowing that it was a troublesome person, and quickly picked up the receiver while winking at Zhang Qiling and waving his hands.

"Hi Mr. Li, I'm Wu Xie."

"Sorry, Mr. Zhang is not here."

"I'm not sure when I will be available for the time being. In this way, if you have anything, I will convey it to you."

"Okay, you're welcome, goodbye."

After he gave his surname, Zhang Qiling looked at his watch, picked up the stack of documents and left silently.Before Wu Xie hung up the phone, Zhang Qiling's cell phone rang again.Ever since he became a secretary, this person has even handed over his mobile phone to him, of course only during working hours.He also understood why Zhang Qiling said before that he didn't use MSN. Unless there were special circumstances, official business would usually go through the secretary before reporting to him... After thinking about it, Wu Xie realized later that he seemed to be Very busy.

After looking at the caller's name, he put down the shelf he was holding and picked it up to answer.

"Hey big brother!"

"He's not in a meeting!"

"He won't participate in the afternoon!"

"There's no reason, it's just so capricious!"

"Of course you can have dinner, you can treat guests... Wait until tomorrow, not! The day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow."

"... If you are not sincere, forget it!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief.Facing this person with black glasses, he still felt a little uncomfortable.Although when he decided to be with Zhang Qiling, everything in the past was over, including those misunderstandings and entanglements.But this person is always very capable of making people break his merits, so we can't treat him with a normal heart.

It took more than a month for the black glasses who disappeared after Turkey Outing to come back, and I don’t know why his annual leave is so long.At that time, Zhang Qiling was hospitalized, and Wu Xie asked for leave to take care of him.He swaggered to visit the hospital with his things in his black glasses, saying that he went to Europe to play, and said in front of the poor patient that he stopped by to visit his parents for his "unfilial son" when he was in Germany: "You white-eyed wolf, Tsk tsk, I really can't help it, remember to go home and eat dumplings during the Spring Festival!"

Fearing that Zhang Qiling would be sick and mentally weak, and be stimulated by some kind of mental stimulation, Wu Xie quickly pushed out his black glasses and took him to a platform to smoke.He didn't deliberately say what kind of relationship the two of them had, but said that Zhang Qiling needed to recuperate after he was discharged from the hospital and would move in with him. He would go to the Black Glasses' house to pack his things when he was free these two days.The black glasses exhaled, ignored his words, and instead told a story that had nothing to do with it.

In the winter 35 years ago, it was snowy, and during the interval of processing work, a man put on his coat and went to the balcony to smoke and breathe.A woman wrapped like a bun was riding a bicycle downstairs. The road was probably too slippery. She suddenly tilted the handlebars and fell down with the car.The woman froze for a moment, got up, patted her buttocks, picked up the car, and started to push it. As a result, she slipped and fell again within two steps.Probably out of anger, she lay on the ground and kicked the bicycle.The serious man who witnessed the whole process almost laughed out loud from the balcony.

"Guess what happened next?" Black Glasses asked him.

At that time, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled and asked with a blink of an eye, "What's wrong?"

"The man found the woman after several rounds, got married a year later, and became dumb two years later."

Wu Xie was so shocked that his mouth opened.But... what do you mean by telling him this?

"This is something that even the dumb don't know, it's a secret between us!" The black glasses grinned, "Tsk tsk, Germany has gained a lot... Come on, little third master, I even brought you a gift. "

This is a warm story. Although Wu Xie was puzzled, his heart melted, and he suddenly felt that black glasses were much more pleasing to the eye.In the end, when he saw the gift, the pink bubble in his heart burst... He could understand the frankfurter sausage, what the hell is that clock!Stop explaining!No matter what kind of black forest cuckoo clock or white forest quack clock, some people give gifts and clocks!Or visit the hospital!Forget it, this person... If he can't compete with him, he can't understand it.

Thinking of this, Wu Xie shook his head with a smile, and continued to work. When Zhang Qiling came back, he was still busy.He has to hand over to Cindy, and there are too many things to sort out in the morning.He didn't even eat lunch, Zhang Qiling brought it back for him.Finally ready at 2:[-], Wu Xie sent a lot of WeChat messages to Cindy, took pictures of everything she needed to know, and not only took text introductions but also took pictures and sent them to her, and also used post-it notes Posted everywhere, no matter how big or small.

Finally, Wu Xie told her that the brown notepad on the table was used by him during this time, and that it recorded all of Mr. Zhang's schedule. He would also make out the schedule for Monday before leaving get off work today. Leave it to her.Before sending it, he thought about it, removed the word "Mr. Zhang" in the last sentence, and added another sentence: After the milk is frothed, pour it directly into the coffee, and sprinkle some sugar on top.

In fact, at least let Cindy come to do the handover and follow-up in person, and Wu Xie asked her to rest for a long time.After sending those WeChat messages, he received a photo - a fat and white baby.Then, he received an application for video chat, and when he connected and saw the screen, his heart almost melted, and he pushed the door directly into Zhang Qiling's office.

Zhang Qiling stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, not knowing what he was looking at, but turned around when he heard the voice.Wu Xie held up her phone and showed it to him. In the video, the baby kicked her calf and giggled.

"To save face like this, Mr. Zhang must give a red envelope!" Wu Xie said to the video.

After finishing speaking, the baby danced and babbled again.Even Zhang Qiling laughed.

After hanging up the video, Wu Xie breathed a sigh of relief, stretched his waist, ran to the coffee table and poured a glass of water, drank it all in one go, and said that it was finally done.Zhang Qiling looked back at him, but was still standing in front of the window.Wu Xie walked over and stood beside him, wanting to poke his head to see what he was looking at, but he couldn't grasp the distance properly, and hit his head on the glass with a "boom".He covered his forehead and threw himself on Zhang Qiling's shoulder with an "ah". "It hurts me to death!"

Zhang Qiling rubbed him for him, looking funny.

"So what the hell are you looking at!"

Before Wu Xie asked, Zhang Qiling's expression became serious again.

"Wu Xie..." he said, "Actually, at the beginning, I didn't want to have anything to do with you."

Wu Xie froze for a moment, left him, frowned, with a serious expression, and asked in a questioning tone: "What do you mean?"

Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes to think, then raised his eyes to look at him again: "At first, I just wanted to get to know you, I thought you were very interesting."

"..." Wu Xie didn't know what to say. He was both angry and scared, and his fists were clenched tightly, as if he was waiting, maybe in the next sentence, to punch him.

But Zhang Qiling turned back suddenly, looked out the window, as if mocking himself, the corner of his mouth twitched. "You came that day, it was the first time I saw you, it was nothing special at first," he paused, and continued, "But my phone vibrated, and it was on the table, and the table also vibrated, making a lot of noise.

"Others just looked around, only you, looking for your phone on the table, flustered, one is not enough, and you looked at two, and then I was relieved, so I noticed you. Go out and answer the phone, It's a very troublesome thing to deal with temporarily, and the person who called is also very annoying."

Having said that, he seemed to have thought of something funny, and the expression on his face softened. "Later, I stood here thinking about how to solve this trouble at once, but I accidentally saw you again. The blind man's car was parked downstairs, and you and Aning went to the car, and she walked in front of you , you are carrying a bag on your shoulders and holding a bag in your hand, it seems to belong to Aning?"

After Zhang Qiling finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at him, as if asking him, without waiting for him to speak. "I saw that your shoelaces were untied," he turned back and continued, "but you didn't find out until you opened the rear door, stepped on it, and almost tripped over. You put down Aning's bag and squatted down to tie your shoes When I got up, I bumped my head against the door frame, and crouched back with my head in my arms..."

Wu Xiequan remembered, his expression was tangled, there was no reason to be angry or afraid.He raised his hand and rubbed his face, feeling embarrassed: "Why are you mentioning this..."

"At that time, I wasn't bothered at all," Zhang Qiling turned around and looked at him, "I found myself smiling."

Wu Xie froze for a moment, and suddenly remembered a day 35 years ago, if the heavy snow hadn't arrived in time; if he hadn't gone to smoke that day; if she hadn't passed by his window; if...he and Zhang Qiling could meet now, would it be What a thing.Thank God for His blessing.Wu Xie was both fearful and grateful.

"That night I asked the blind man who you are..." Zhang Qiling's expression changed again, "I really just want to know you...Wu Xie, I never thought of..."

Wu Xie hugged him suddenly, and interrupted his words: "I know, I know..." It's January, and it's the new year, shouldn't it be time to tell him?Wu Xie made a decision in his heart, and set a date, the first anniversary.

In the afternoon, the fat man asked him to smoke after the meeting, and the two chatted in the corridor for a while.When he returned to the office, Zhang Qiling had already gone to the Con-Call.Wu Xie walked around the inside and outside by himself, arranged some items neatly aimlessly, then sighed, sat back in his seat, and sent Xie Yuchen a WeChat message.As a result, all the people in the meeting came back without waiting for a reply.

After they got off work, Zhang Qiling took him to the supermarket to buy meat, and said that he would make braised pork for him, and joked that he wanted to compete with Wu Xie's mother for cooking.When he got home, he changed his clothes and went into the kitchen.Wu Xie put the clothes that the two of them changed this week into the washing machine, and then sat on the sofa and broadcast the news broadcasts of various stations, waiting for dinner.When the weather forecast came out, his cell phone rang, and it was the notification tone of WeChat.He picked it up and looked at it. It was Xie Yuchen's voice.

"Why are you moving out all of a sudden?"

"It's okay for me to live alone, now it's not..."

"Anyway, I have given up on you, and I don't mind if there is one more person."

"The main reason is...it's too far away from the company, and it's really tiring to go back and forth every day."

"If you don't think the rent is expensive, it's up to you. Tell me when you want to move, and I'll find someone to contact you."

"Well, Xiao Hua... thank you."

"Come on, if you're being polite to me, you'll find someone to beat you."

"...Maybe if you beat me up, I can feel better."

"Then I won't hit you."

Wu Xie smiled, but before replying, he received a video chat application from Jie Yuchen. He was stunned and connected.The other said, "Show me what that bastard is doing."

"Look at what he is doing..."

"Tsk, don't show it? Are you still shameless?"

"There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Zhang Qiling was chopping vegetables and didn't notice.He held up his mobile phone at the door of the kitchen and took a quick shot, intending to go back without anyone noticing, but the video that had been silent for a long time suddenly said "Hey, let's cook".He panicked and tried to hide the phone behind his back, but it was too late, Zhang Qiling had already seen it.

"What are you hiding?" Xie Yuchen also expressed dissatisfaction.

Zhang Qiling stopped the saber and asked him, "Xie Yuchen?"

Wu Xie was silent for a while, then nodded.

Zhang Qiling wiped his hands and reached out to him: "Give it to me."

"..." Wu Xie really didn't want to give it, and even wanted to hang up directly, ignore the two of them, and love whatever.But Zhang Qiling was calm and determined, and Xie Yuchen was also chattering over there.There is nothing shameful... He said this in his heart, and then hesitantly handed over the phone.

"We meet again." Xie Yuchen said over there.

"Zhang Qiling." Zhang Qiling reported his name.

"What are you giving Wu Xie to eat?"

Zhang Qiling didn't speak, turned his phone to the chopping board, and then lifted the lid of the pot to show him.

"Tsk tsk, there are meat and vegetables, why don't you have soup?"

"Have."

A sentence in Japanese suddenly came out from the video. "I'm fine, I'm still busy." Xie Yuchen hung up hastily after saying this.

Zhang Qiling returned the phone to him: "He hung up."

Wu Xie took the phone and rubbed it back and forth in his hand. "Sorry..." he said.

"Why do you say I'm sorry?" Zhang Qiling picked up the knife, then stopped and turned to look at him.

Wu Xie lowered her head, not knowing what to say: "I just... just before... I wanted to say sorry to you..."

Zhang Qiling thought about it. "I don't care what other people say or do," he turned back, "I only care about you and your feelings."

The pot on the stove was steaming, and the house was already filled with fragrance.Zhang Qiling picked up the kitchen knife and began to chop again on the chopping board.Impulsively, Wu Xie walked over and hugged him tightly from behind.

"...There is something I haven't told you yet."

"what?"

The wind was blowing outside the window, and the north wind was blowing the windows rattling. The weather forecast said that the strong wind would blow away the smog and cool down the temperature.Nothing is perfect, you can't have all the good things.If you have to give up something to be with this person, then give it up.Putting those aside, what is the difference between the fireworks in the world belonging to the two of them in the window?This feeling is not heavy at all.

This is something he has never said or done to anyone.At this moment, Wu Xie's heart is soft, just like the gentle and smooth melody I heard on the radio in the morning-dear person, close lover... "Like" is not enough to express.It turns out that when you love someone, and you know that he loves you too, this is the feeling.

"I love you," he told him.
