bamboo horse long time no see

Xu Chetong sat on the sofa, twitched the corners of his mouth, and revealed a not-so-good-looking smile.

"There's nothing you don't know." Xu Chetong didn't even believe what he said, "There's nothing to ask."

Wei Nan smiled and didn't speak.

Xu Chetong suddenly began to doubt whether it was drink or wine that he had drunk just now. He had just told Wei Nan that he didn't know many things, and now he slapped himself in the face again.

Xu Chetong said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Well, it's okay!" Wei Nan said, "I support you, I won't force you, when you want to talk someday, you must tell me, I really want to hear it!"

Hearing this, Xu Chetong was taken aback, and he turned to look at Wei Nan.

Wei Nan was neither angry nor aggrieved. He smiled at Xu Chetong and asked him if he wanted a drink.

Xu Chetong didn't know what to do with him, as if Wei Nan blocked his way out.

It seems that sooner or later he has to say, and Wei Nan has to know sooner or later.

But the initiative to say or not to say is clearly in Xu Chetong's hands, why does he have the feeling that he has to say it?

It seems that the less you care about things, the more you care about them.

Could it be that Wei Nan is playing hard to get? !

Xu Chetong frowned slightly, this man is real!

There is nothing I can do about him! !

The dance floor in the distance is becoming more and more lively, and the DJ is also sparing no effort to stir up the scene, and the screams are very clear.

I don't know how long there was silence between them, but in the end Xu Chetong sighed and chose to speak.

"Alright..." Xu Chetong said, "Then I'll tell you straight..."

It was obvious that Wei Nan beside him sat up straight, with a serious look on his face, as if looking forward to it.

Xu Chetong loosened his shoulders and said, "Wei Nan, do you know how much your attitude after going abroad hurt me?"

Wei Nan seemed to have expected Xu Chetong to say this, and his expression was very guilty, "I'm sorry, this matter is really..."

But Xu Chetong continued, "Since you asked, let me tell you that you made me very sad when you didn't answer my emails and phone calls. Of course, I don't want you to apologize now, but I just feel that it didn't matter whether you or I It was all impulsive and childish. After all this time, I'm fine now."

"I'm sorry..." Wei Nan almost wanted to bury his head in the ground, "You are right, I was naive, impulsive, and idiot back then. When I wanted to contact you, I found that I couldn't...that was me You deserve it! All these years I thought...you were right to reject me, right..."

Xu Chetong heard something wrong with Wei Nan's tone, turned his head to look, Wei Nan covered his face with his hands, and bowed his whole body, looking very sad.

He has rarely seen Wei Nan in this state, after all, he is always full of confidence.

Xu Chetong felt a little distressed when he saw it, but just as he was about to reach out to pat Wei Nan on the back, he retracted.

He continued: "So what do you want when you come back now? I don't want to be left behind by you anymore."

As soon as these words came out, he felt Wei Nan's whole body tremble suddenly.

Xu Chetong thought to himself, in fact, this is also good, it is better to speak clearly, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and cut the mess quickly.

So Xu Chetong continued his efforts, "No matter how confident you are, you still have confidence now. I asked you at the beginning, no one knows what the future will become. Or, even if you never want to abandon me, I don't want to either. with you."

Seeing that Wei Nan was still silent, Xu Chetong gritted his teeth, no matter how sad he felt, he still had to say, "Instead of everyone taking a path where no one knows what the outcome will be, it's better to be like this now, we are friends and colleagues, work hard, make money, and in the future The two families can still communicate, whether it's your parents or mine, you don't have to worry anymore, it's good for you and me."

After he finished speaking, Xu Chetong breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that his theory was correct, and he also thought that Wei Nan would definitely understand after hearing what he said, and he would no longer continue the so-called "chasing" him.

And Wei Nan suddenly raised his head and asked him, "Huh? Is it related to my parents?"

Xu Chetong was taken aback for a moment, a trace of guilt flashed across his eyes, and he quickly said, "It's okay, I just said so."

"Oh." Wei Nan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them sat there shrouded in silence, no matter how cheerful and lively the whole bar was, they couldn't infect them, it was as if someone had drawn a barrier around them, isolating all the relaxed and happy atmosphere.

After a while, the owner of the bar came over. He saw that the atmosphere between the two was indeed very strange, but he still stepped forward and asked if there was a bad reception.

At this moment, Wei Nan's face changed like that of a Sichuan opera, and he immediately changed into a smile, stood up and shook hands with the bar owner, and said a lot of good things to him.

But there was no hint of happiness in his tone, which surprised Xu Chetong a little.

Xu Chetong always thought that Wei Nan was a person who could manage his emotions well. Even if he was rejected by him in the last second, he could easily talk about cooperation with the other party if he communicated with an investor and big boss in the next second.

Xu Chetong really didn't expect that what he said just now would affect him, it seems...

After Wei Nan finished chatting with the other party, he turned back to Xu Chetong and said that he could go back now, and asked Xu Chetong if he would like to send him back.

Xu Chetong shrugged and said it didn't matter, "You are the boss, so I should send you off."

But seeing Wei Nan shaking his head, he didn't say what he meant.

On the way back, there were not many private cars, so Xu Chetong drove a little faster than usual.

Neither of them spoke, as if reminiscing about the previous conversation in their hearts.

Xu Chetong tried his best to comfort himself, it was right and good for them all.

We sent Wei Nan to his apartment, but Wei Nan didn't even say a word.

Seeing Wei Nan getting out of the car, Xu Chetong didn't feel any sense of relief, instead, he heard his footsteps on the ground, and his heart sank.

Wei Nan stood by the passenger seat door and paused for a moment, then suddenly turned around and said to Xu Chetong: "I can understand what you said. Maybe my previous actions didn't give you a sense of security, and I will reflect on it. Today you said to me I will think about these things carefully. I will listen to what you have to say later. Be careful on the way back! Drive slowly!"

Seeing him blinking at him, Xu Chetong felt a little silly.

What does Wei Nan mean by this?He has already talked about this, so he still doesn't want to give up?

"You..." Xu Chetong didn't know what to say, Wei Nan closed the car door before the end of the sound.

Seeing that Wei Nan was still standing at the front of the car and waving at him, he walked away—looking briskly.

Xu Chetong held the steering wheel in a daze, thinking that his words had caused Wei Nan a lot of harm, and felt a little guilty.

Who knew that Wei Nan would recover after such a little effort, and his eyes seemed to be quite energetic.

Xu Chetong didn't understand, even if he really wanted to chase after him, after hearing what he said, he should have retreated in spite of the difficulties, right?

But looking at his expression and gaze just now, it's completely different!

Even... Even if he still wants to chase after him, but he has such a great charm that he can't forget it so much?

Xu Chetong thought about it, and suddenly blushed.

He lowered his head, resting his forehead on the backs of his hands on the steering wheel.

Yes, Wei Nan likes him!Wei Nan came back only because he liked him!

Xu Chetong felt his face getting hotter and hotter. He knew the reason earlier, but in retrospect he was still at a loss.

It took him a long time to calm himself down, advising himself not to think about anything.

He didn't start the vehicle until he returned to his usual appearance, and then drove away.

And in the elevator of the building next door, Wei Nan called his parents.

In the past six months, they have barely contacted each other, and the sporadic two or three phone calls are just formulaic concerns.

This time Wei Nan told his mother that he would go home on Sunday.

His mother was quite surprised, and her tone was not lacking in joy.

Wei's mother said: "You haven't been home since you returned to China. I will make your favorite food..."

Wei Nan's tone was a little cold, "No trouble, just get some lunch."

"Stay for supper too."

Wei Nan paused, "Let's see when the time comes."
