wag

As soon as the coat was put on, Fang Shaoyang woke up.

He moved and slowly straightened his back. His first reaction was to check the time on his phone.

"Why don't you go home and sleep?"

When he heard the voice, his expression was still blunt, and he turned his head after a delay of two seconds.Seeing that it was He Qiao, his eyes lit up, but his voice was still hoarse: "I haven't finished the work yet, lie down and rest for a while, why are you here?"

It's already 10:30, and when I got up after squatting on my stomach for a while, I planned to work until what time, so I didn't want to die.He Qiao didn't answer his question, and directly shifted his gaze to his mobile phone: "Set the alarm clock?"

"Ah."

"You have to combine work and rest. You are not an iron man, and this will only wear you down."

He loosened his stiff shoulders, shook his drowsy head twice, and tried to fully wake up: "I feel fine. There will be no less work if you do it early or late. It's better to do things early, and the doctor also said that it's okay to leave the hospital early. question."

Which doctor is so irresponsible, didn't you see that his face is still pale and his lips are blue?

"It's really okay, why didn't you tell me when you got out of the hospital?"

Fang Shaoyang fell silent.

He Qiao finished lighting, poured out all the cigarette butts in the cup, rinsed it briefly, and took a cup of warm water for him.Fang Shaoyang took it but didn't drink it. He hurried into the bathroom to wash his face and shave with cold water, trying to show himself more energetic.

When he came out again, the table was full of bottles and cans. He Qiao stood in front of the bookcase and put them all in the cabinet.

"what are these?"

"The nutritional supplements I bought for you. There are many types. I will explain to Zhuo Ran tomorrow, and let her supervise you to eat on time."

Even if I eat so much, I don't know how poisonous it is.Fang Shaoyang wiped his face, said something in a low voice, then sat back with a slight frown.He Qiao turned to look at him, his face calm and calm: "The money has been spent, so don't use your brain."

Hey.

Fang Shaoyang touched his ears, and felt that He Qiao seemed to understand him better than before, to the point where he could read minds.

The two monitors turned back on, and the room fell silent except for the slight click of the mouse.He Qiao arranged the medicines neatly by category, putting the most frequently consumed ones on the most convenient layer, those only taken once a day on the top, and the least consumed ginseng on the bottom layer away from light.

After everything is done, Fang Shaoyang is already working intently.

He could have left, but He Qiao stood behind him motionless.He first noticed that Fang Shaoyang seemed to have had his hair cut in the past two days, and his hair was shorter. He also found that Fang Shaoyang had a red mark on his chin, and he didn't know how to do it.It was obviously just some boring details, but he was absorbed in watching them until the boss chair in front slowly slid back, shutting him silently between the back of the chair and the bookshelf.

"What are you doing again?" He Qiao was at a loss and helpless, feeling that although Fang Shaoyang was mature, he still had a childish look occasionally.

"I'm afraid you'll run away."

Fang Shaoyang smiled, but immediately backed away, not teasing him all the time.

These words reminded He Qiao.

The medicine was delivered, he had no excuse to stay any longer, it was time to leave.In such a silent gap, Fang Shaoyang said without looking back: "He Qiao, come and help me take a look."

"Ok?"

"The tax office thinks there is a problem with our transfer pricing. I don't have much experience in this area."

He Qiao breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't wear glasses tonight, so in order to see clearly, he had to lean close to the screen, resting his right hand on the table.The cold light from the monitor shone on his face, making his expression both focused and moving.

Fang Shaoyang stared at him sideways, his eyes deepened, and he got up after a while and said, "Sit down."

"I won't sit anymore. You are still sick, so sit down."

"It's okay, I'm just going to take a shower."

"You want to spend the night here?" He Qiao was slightly startled.

"Yeah." While speaking, Fang Shaoyang had already walked to the sofa, took off his coat, pulled out the belt and threw it away, "Save time, the apartment I rent is too far away from here."

Although he was thinner, the muscle texture of his back was still well-proportioned and strong, and there was a hearty and masculine temperament in his gestures.He Qiao glanced away: "Why don't you buy a house?"

"It's not necessary to live alone."

Fang Shaoyang went into the bathroom.

Soon there was the sound of rushing water inside, and occasionally there were one or two lazy coughs.He Qiao sat in Fang Shaoyang's seat, his face was slightly hot, but it felt familiar and heartwarming, as if he had returned to the time when they lived together.

Halfway through the wash, the sound of the water suddenly stopped.

"He Qiao—"

"Ok?"

"Order me a takeaway, I didn't eat tonight."

He Qiao was looking at the photo on the table, when he heard the sound, he put down the photo frame, frowned and looked in the direction of the bathroom: "Why don't you even eat dinner, Zhuo Ran forgot to order it for you?"

Fang Shaoyang didn't answer his question, and his tone couldn't be heard from a long distance: "You also stay and eat with me, it's boring for me to eat alone."

If you want to stay for supper, it means that you have to stay here for a long time.He Qiao looked at the clock on the wall, and finally turned on the phone.

There are only some fried chicken and barbecue left at this point, which are not suitable for people who are recovering from serious illness.He decided to go downstairs to see if the 24-hour convenience store had lighter food options, if not, at least he could buy boxed salads.But when I came, I was a visitor, and I had to register again when I went out and came in again, which was too troublesome.

"Shao Yang, where is your work card?"

"It's either on the table or in the coat, look for it."

There was nothing on the table, so he went to the sofa and touched the pocket of the coat, and it was indeed inside.But with the work card, there is also a checkout slip, which is from a nearby five-star hotel restaurant.The list was very long, with a total of [-] dishes, and several bottles of red wine were opened, and the order time was at [-] pm.

The lights outside the window were dim.

He Qiao stood quietly on the spot, staring at the bill in his hand, unable to make any movements for a long time.

It turned out that Fang Shaoyang had already had dinner.It was probably a banquet for important guests, so there were thousands of bottles of wine. I don't know if there are any people who risk their lives to accompany the gentleman regardless of their health.Then why did he ask himself to order takeaway for him?

"Found it?" cried the bathroom.

As if waking up from a dream, He Qiao hurriedly put the water slip back in place: "I found it, I'm going out to buy something."

Fang Shaoyang asked: "What to buy?"

"I'll buy you some porridge."

"No need, just make do with a bite."

He responded indiscriminately, and walked out of the office building quickly, holding his work card tightly in his hand.The edges and corners of the ferrule were blunt, but he held it too hard, and it hurt his palm.The wind is a bit cold, but it is not cold at all when it blows on the body.On the contrary, his heart was hot and his eye sockets were hot, and he was sweating all over after walking a short distance of a few hundred meters.

After walking a long way, he finally stopped and took a few breaths.

The surface of the work card is already covered with sweat.

He lowered his head slightly, looked at Fang Shaoyang in the photo who was full of vigor and no one paid attention to him, and clearly felt the beating of his heart, which was so alive that it made people want to cry.

—

The night was dark.

Fang Shaoyang took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and wiped his hair casually with a towel.He has been living in the company since he was discharged from the hospital, and the rented house didn't have many things, and now almost all of them have moved here.

After answering a few emails, he made a space on the coffee table and walked over to look at the medicines in the bookcase.I don't know where He Qiao collected it, and it has all kinds of effects.Unscrewed a few bottles at random, the taste is very strange, the capsules are very large, it is not easy to swallow at first glance.

He frowned.

As soon as he put the medicine back in place, He Qiao came back, carrying two plastic bags in his hand.

"Why have you been there for so long? Is it hard to buy?" Fang Shaoyang went to help him take it, and accidentally touched the back of his hand, his face immediately changed, "Why are your hands so cold?"

He Qiao didn't meet his eyes, and kept his head down, "It's almost winter, of course it's cold."

Fang Shaoyang frowned: "I knew I wouldn't let you out, but I—"

"Okay, let's eat." He Qiao interrupted.

The two of them sat down silently, and there were several plastic boxes lined up in front of them, including instant porridge, rice balls, salads and the like.Just as he was about to start, He Qiao suddenly said wait a minute, got up and took out a bottle of medicine from the bookcase.

"Take one of these first, it protects the liver, and you must remember to eat it before every meal in the future."

Fang Shaoyang glanced at it, but didn't move.

"Eat."

The palms holding the pills were stretched out in front of him, but he still frowned, and even curled his lips like he did back then, but his movements were smaller: "It smells too bad."

He Qiao pursed his lips, his expression was not very good-looking.

Fang Shaoyang weighed it over and over again, and finally decided to eat it.Just as he was about to take it, He Qiao put the medicine into his mouth.

"you--"

He unscrewed the mineral water next to him and took a sip with his neck up. After swallowing, he said, "It's not as bad as you said, just hold your breath and swallow it like I did."

Fang Shaoyang seemed to have been greatly impacted, and his body was completely still.

He Qiao has never been the clingy type.Most of the time, he is gentle, rational, self-respecting and self-love, and he has a natural calm temperament.But it was such a person who would take one by himself in order to persuade Fang Shaoyang to take the medicine.

Seeing that Fang Shaoyang still refused to move, he stood up with a downcast face, but his arm was suddenly pulled.Fang Shaoyang looked at him stiffly from bottom to top, and after a long while, he asked nervously, "Aren't you afraid of taking medicine?"

The air suddenly froze.

Even He Qiao himself didn't realize that what he just took was a capsule medicine.The medicine has entered the stomach, and there is no pain, everything seems to have returned to the time when the two were still together a long time ago.He Qiao pursed his lips, suppressing the slight rise and fall of his chest.

When exactly, another wound healed itself without medicine.Maybe on a very ordinary night, the two of them were sitting in the same office, each thinking about how to spend more time together.Fang Shaoyang looked at him, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he couldn't say a single unnecessary word with his lips stretched.

What about He Qiao?

There was nothing uncomfortable in He Qiao's body, and even the agitation that he felt half an hour ago gradually subsided, just sitting with Fang Shaoyang like this, suddenly felt like he was walking to the other side of life.

From the front, Shao Yang always lied to him, cheating him with medicine, making him panic when he heard the word medicine.Now that time has passed, Fang Shaoyang lied to him again, but he didn't feel hurt.Because deep down in his heart, he had already firmly believed that Fang Shaoyang didn't intend to harm him, and he would never harm him again.

Fang Shaoyang was scheming, but He Qiao was already immune.

Painful memories pile up into an insurmountable ridge, lying between the past and the future.The two people who have tortured each other but also loved each other climbed hard with their dying bodies, leaving deep and shallow footprints behind them.It's not that they have been hard-working for many years, but they still don't want to give up, and they still want to see what scenery is on the other side of the mountain.

But He Qiao...

He Qiao didn't have to go with Fang Shaoyang.They each go their own way, each cultivates their own fate, travels through the wind and snow, the wind and sand blind their eyes, the end point seems far away, but on a certain day, they can see the top of the mountain when they look up.

The food was steaming quietly in front of him, and the people around him did not speak for a long time.Fang Shaoyang felt uncomfortable, and lowered his head to break the disposable chopsticks: "I won't ask, let's eat."

"Shao Yang."

He Qiao called him.

"Huh?" He raised his head, chopsticks in his hands.

Looking at each other again, many things are different.Because of the wind blowing outside, He Qiao's face was pale when he first came back, but now it is white and red, looking extraordinarily delicate and soft.His eyes drifted away for a moment, and then, as if he had overcome something, he fell into Fang Shaoyang's eyes like a superficial drop of water.

Fang Shaoyang thought that He Qiao had something to say, so he waited obediently, but what happened next was completely beyond his expectation.

In the scorching gaze, He Qiao pursed his lips tightly, and slowly moved closer until their faces were facing each other, and they could clearly feel each other's breathing.Then she turned her head slightly and sniffed his lips.

"It's pretty obedient, I didn't drink at night."

Fang Shaoyang was taken aback, and the person backed away as soon as he realized it.

"Hey—"

"Eat without a word or sleep without a word."

All questions were blocked back.He Qiao didn't explain his behavior, and lowered his head to eat his own food, but he couldn't ignore the hot eyes from the side.The only sound left in the huge room was the sound of chewing and the sound of a strong heartbeat.

Fang Shaoyang looked at him several times, wanting to ask something, but held back several times.He Qiao held his chopsticks in his mouth: "Will you eat it or not? If you don't, I'll throw it away."

"Eat...I eat..."

Finally quiet.

After dawdling until the early hours of the morning, Fang Shaoyang insisted on seeing He Qiao off if he didn't want to.

"I drove by myself."

"It's okay, I'll take a taxi back after seeing you off."

He began to put on his clothes before he agreed, leaving no room for He Qiao to refuse.The two walked into the elevator and didn't talk much. He didn't ask if he needed to turn on the air conditioner until he got in the car.

"No need." He Qiao said in a gentle voice.

Fang Shaoyang nodded, refueled the fire, and was a little distracted, and almost didn't look around the whole time.When he was waiting for a red light at a certain intersection, he glanced casually out of the window, but his gaze suddenly froze.

This is not the city center, but it is considered a bustling area, with several four-star and five-star hotels on both sides.It was getting late and the road was sparsely populated, so he easily recognized the figure outside one of the hotels.

Rong Yue brought someone to open the room.

The companion next to him is about the same age as him, and his back looks good.They couldn't see their expressions clearly in the night, but when they entered the door, Rong Yue reached out to support each other's waist, with an intimate gesture.

The ten fingers on the steering wheel suddenly tightened.

"Shao Yang, Shao Yang?"

Feeling the hand on his shoulder, Fang Shaoyang suddenly came back to his senses, and his head came back suddenly.

"What are you looking at?"

He Qiao leaned forward with his upper body, and before he could look past his shoulders, his body was hugged with great strength.

"What's wrong? What happened."

Fang Shaoyang hugged him tightly, and forced his forehead onto his shoulder: "Don't go, stay with me tonight."

He Qiao was stunned for a second, feeling offended, and began to struggle hastily: "You're sick again, aren't you? Let me go."

Fang Shaoyang held him tightly, covering his hair with his right hand, clenching his teeth and not letting go.He Qiao's breath suddenly became short of breath, and he pushed his shoulders desperately with both hands, but his eyes were hidden in his chest in confusion, and it took a full two minutes before he was able to take a smooth breath.

He Qiao asked urgently, "What's the matter with you?"

"I'm sorry." Fang Shaoyang turned off the ignition suddenly, and turned his head out of the window, "I'm not in a stable mood recently, you can drive back by yourself, I want to get out of the car for a walk." Then without further explanation, he took off his coat and opened the door get off.

The seat next to him suddenly became empty.

He Qiao was filled with emotions before he had time to land, but he was stuffed in his chest by life, venting was either suppressed or not.The black figure in the rearview mirror walked further and further away, without looking back, and gradually disappeared into the night.

"Shao Yang!"

No echo.

In the sudden silence, He Qiao's heart palpitated for a few seconds, and his heart became empty, feeling lost.

—

The street was very quiet.

After making sure that He Qiao's car had left, Fang Shaoyang stood under the hotel wall and smoked.While smoking, he looked up at the rooms upstairs.Because of raising his eyes, several lines were formed on his forehead.The car lights in the distance flicked across his face, and the light and shadow modified the outline a little unnaturally.

In the car just now, he almost subconsciously prevented He Qiao from seeing Rong Yue, without even thinking about it.Calm down now, I thought I would regret it, but the result was just the opposite.

He was very calm in his heart, neither regretful because he missed a good opportunity, nor angry because of He Qiao's reaction just now.On the contrary, he didn't think it was a big deal. Compared with making He Qiao happy and getting less injuries, these things were no big deal.

Have you changed yourself?

He lowered his head and snorted, as if laughing at himself for finally learning to compromise.

After looking away for a moment, he stamped out the cigarette butt, went to the nearest convenience store to buy a bottle of wine, and then walked straight towards the revolving door of the hotel.
