Journey to love

The one who agreed to go together suddenly didn't go, Xie Tong thought that Gu Xiaoxi was still angry about what happened yesterday, so he apologized repeatedly and promised to accompany her to the theater another day.

"No, I'm not angry anymore..." She said softly, "I have an appointment with a colleague today, and I want to go shopping."

"That's it." Xie Tong didn't think much about it, "Okay then, you guys have a good time shopping, we'll get in touch when we get back."

Not long after Xie Tong arrived at the meeting place, Yang Yunyan also arrived.Most of the people at the scene signed up after reading the forum announcement. They were not familiar with each other, but after a few pleasantries, the atmosphere quickly became active.

"Hey, brother, your car costs thousands, right?" A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy patted Yang Yunyan's bicycle enviously.

Yang Yunyan smiled without saying a word.A person next to him said: "Nowadays, better bicycles are not cheap. A mountain bike like this one costs tens of thousands of yuan."

The boy was speechless and said: "Then you still have to pedal, you can't move without pedaling?"

"Brother, this is a bicycle." Yang Yunyan smiled and shook his head.

After everyone arrived, the rider leader organized everyone to set off in the direction of the forest park.At the beginning, everyone chased after each other, and the ride was quite easy, but gradually the physical strength became weak, and the team became a little slack.There are a lot of cars on this section of the road, and the rider waved his hand to ask everyone to ride in team 1.

"Brother, is it a capital one?" a bastard asked.

"It's one in traditional Chinese!" Yang Yunyan said loudly, and everyone laughed.

"It's exactly eleven o'clock now, everyone insist on going to the open space ahead to take a rest and try to find a place to eat before 12:30!" The leader of the rider raised his hand and looked at his watch and said.As soon as the words fell, there were cheers everywhere. Everyone was really tired and hungry after riding for a long time.

"How is it? Are you okay?" Yang Yunyan approached Xie Tong.

"I can still hold on." Xie Tong replied.Yang Yunyan made a cheering gesture, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

At around twelve o'clock, everyone decided to have dinner in a farm by the side of the road. More than 20 people gathered around a large table and ordered a lot of beer.

During the banquet, there was an old man who was so rude, he held a teacup to persuade him to drink, Xie Tong drank several cups in a row, which made him look good.

"Someone even blush after drinking beer." He filled Xie Tong's wine glass, "Come, have another drink." Xie Tong really didn't want to drink anymore, so he waved his hands repeatedly.

"The capacity for drinking is all practiced, come on!" He put the wine glass into Xie Tong's hand.Xie Tong frowned and was about to drink but was stopped by a hand.Yang Yunyan took Xie Tong's wine glass and said to that dear friend: "Brother, I respect you too." After finishing speaking, he touched his teacup and drank it in one gulp, Yang Yunyan asked: "What did you drink?"

"Tea." My dear friend replied as a matter of course.

"Then I'll respect you again." Yang Yunyan had another drink with him, and then asked, "What did you drink?"

"...tea." My dear friend was a little puzzled.Yang Yunyan poured wine into the glass again to toast him.After repeating this several times, even those who are not ashamed will come to their senses.That man finally poured wine into his glass and said to Yang Yunyan, "Brother, I'm convinced."

Although the self-injury is three hundred, the soldiers are bloodless.Seeing Yang Yunyan sit down, Xie Tong quietly gave him a thumbs up, and Yang Yunyan smiled back.

They returned to the urban area at around five o'clock in the afternoon. They were exhausted after a day of riding. Everyone was sweating, and they all wanted to go back quickly to take a refreshment.Yang Yunyan asked Xie Tong to wait, saying that the assistant would be there in a while.Xie Tong pointed to a few people waiting beside him and said that he would go with them.He waved his sore arms and decided to sleep well tomorrow.

Xie Tong hadn't seen Gu Xiaoxi for more than a week since he came back from his last ride, and he couldn't get through the phone, which was unprecedented.

After returning to the office after the afternoon class, Xie Tong received a call from Lio.

"How are you and Xiaoxi doing?" Lio asked.

"...It's okay." Xie Tong himself was not sure.

"Really?" Lio felt his hesitation, "There is one thing I think I should tell you."

"You said."

"It's like this..." Lio paused for a moment, and said, "I saw Xiaoxi eating in a restaurant with a man at noon today. I know this man. He pursued Xiaoxi in college. They seem...behaving intimately." Listen Xie Tong didn't speak, and he said again: "Well, maybe I'm thinking too much, but I think you better talk about it."

"Got it, I will, thank you." Xie Tong took a deep breath and put down the phone.He picked up the teacup and walked to the window, took a sip of tea, and quietly felt his mood at the moment. Although it was a bit unpleasant, he was not particularly sad.

The phone still couldn't get through, but the matter must be settled after all.Gu Xiaoxi has officially switched to Yangsheng Group to work, and there was no class the next afternoon, Xie Tong waited at the gate of Yangsheng Group early, searching for Gu Xiaoxi among the people leaving get off work one after another.When she saw her, she was walking out of the company holding a man's arm. Xie Tong recognized this man as Luo Bin whom he had seen last time when he was shopping.He walked towards them, Gu Xiaoxi also saw him, her expression was a little stiff, she stopped, raised her head and said a few words to the man beside her, he put his arm around her shoulder and walked away.

They sat down in a nearby cafe, relatively silent. After a while, Xie Tong sighed and asked, "Are you and Luo Bin together?"

The tears that Gu Xiaoxi had held back for a long time finally fell, and she choked up and said, "He treats me very well, better than you." She took the tissue handed over by Xie Tong and wiped away her tears, "They say love first People lose first, and people who love you much suffer so much, I understand it." She sniffled, "I have always been rushing to find you, but you are not blustery, cold and hot. I don't know if you ever really liked me."

Xie Tong silently listened to her grievances and dissatisfaction, and after she finished speaking, she slowly said: "Xiaoxi, you are a very good girl, I am very grateful to have you by my side all these years, really, yes I failed you, sorry!"

Gu Xiaoxi shook her head and wanted to say something, but the phone rang at this moment. She looked down, hesitated for a while, and finally pressed it down.

Another moment of silence.

"Is it Luo Bin?" Xie Tong asked, "He's still waiting for you, I'll go first." After a pause, he added: "I wish you happiness!"

Gu Xiaoxi wanted to call him back, but hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing, just watching him leave silently.

Yang Yunyan had just come back from a social gathering, leaning on the back seat and looking at the slowly receding city and street scene outside the car window, suddenly a familiar figure came into view, and he took a closer look, it was Xie Tong.He hurriedly asked his assistant to stop, lowered the car window, and asked: "Why are you wandering outside alone?" Seeing that Xie Tong was twitching his mouth and said nothing, he said, "Do you want to go home? Get in the car, and I'll see you off."

"No, I want to walk alone."

Yang Yunyan opened the car door and waited for him.Xie Tong hesitated for a while and finally got into the car.Seeing that he was full of thoughts, Yang Yunyan frowned and asked him, "What's wrong with you? What happened?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired." Xie Tong forced a smile.Seeing that he didn't want to speak up, Yang Yunyan didn't force him.

Xie Tong sniffed and asked, "Have you been drinking?"

Yang Yunyan also sniffed, and said, "I just had a meal with a client and drank some wine. Why, does the smell of wine be strong?"

"Fortunately."

Xie Tong lowered his eyelids, sat quietly and did not speak, and there was a silence in the car.Yang Yunyan looked at his moody look, and suddenly felt the urge to hug him, but he resisted it, and said, "Close your eyes and rest for a while when you're tired, and I'll call you when you arrive." Xie Tong nodded He closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair.Yang Yunyan stared at his sleeping face for a while before turning away.The weather is quite hot now, but the air conditioner in the car is fully turned on, so Yang Yunyan asked his assistant to turn up the temperature a little.

When he arrived at Xie Tong's house, Yang Yunyan yelled several times before he opened his eyes in a daze.

"Here we are." Yang Yunyan said softly.

"Oh, okay." Xie Tong rubbed his face and was about to say goodbye when he was hugged suddenly. He froze for a moment and heard Yang Yunyan say in his ear: "Call me if you have anything to do." After speaking, he patted him His shoulders backed away.

After getting off the car, Xie Tong stayed in place for a while as he watched the car drifting away, before turning back.

Working in the same company, Yang Yunyan occasionally runs into Gu Xiaoxi.After getting off work this day, Yang Yunyan saw Gu Xiaoxi walking out of the elevator with a man on his arm, he hesitated for a while and went up to meet him.

Seeing him approaching, Gu Xiaoxi and Luo Bin hurriedly greeted him.Yang Yunyan nodded, wondering about the relationship between this man and Gu Xiaoxi, but this is a private matter after all, so it's not easy to ask.

"Miss Gu, is it convenient for Fang to take a step to talk?"

"Of course!"

"Do you know what happened to Xie Tong recently?" Yang Yunyan asked her after walking aside.

"What's wrong with him?" Gu Xiaoxi bit his lips.

"Aren't you his girlfriend?" Yang Yunyan was puzzled.

"I, we broke up last week..." Gu Xiaoxi murmured.

No wonder!Yang Yunyan squinted his eyes, and it was not convenient for him to ask why they parted hands, so he said, "That's right...that's all right." Then he turned and left.

Gu Xiaoxi opened his mouth and did not speak, and slowly walked back to Luo Bin who was waiting at the side.

Yang Yunyan called Xie Tong and said that the team had a party at the North Mayor's Building in the evening, and asked him if he wanted to attend.Xie Tong readily agreed since he had no other arrangements.

"I'll pick you up in the afternoon, so don't drive there, lest you have to pick it up tomorrow after drinking." Yang Yunyan told him.

Yang Yunyan went directly to Xie Tong's school gate to pick him up and rushed to the meeting place.On the way, Yang Yunyan couldn't help but asked, "I saw you in a low mood last time, is it because you broke up with your girlfriend?"

"How do you know?" Xie Tong looked at him in surprise.

Yang Yunyan didn't answer, just glanced at him with a smile, and said: "Where there is no grass in the end of the world, wait for brother to accompany you for a few drinks, and this matter will be over."

"I'm fine." Xie Tong shrugged, "It's just a good get-together for everyone."

Not long after they arrived at the private room, almost everyone was there, and everyone began to sit down and serve food.Drinking is always a must for Chinese dinner parties. After drinking for three rounds, everyone let go, chatting, fighting, and persuading people to drink.During the period, Wu Zhou pointed to a big box on the coffee table and told everyone that the Dragon Boat Festival would be in two days. In the box were rice dumplings wrapped by his relatives, and everyone took a few bunches back to eat.

After the meal, everyone turned to K songs outside, adhering to the principle of "don't let anyone go, don't miss anyone", everyone must sing a song.Xie Tong ordered Xu Wei's "Travel". He paced back and forth along with the music while singing. The shirt around his waist was not wrapped properly, and a small part of his waist was occasionally exposed with his movements.Yang Yunyan looked at the faint spring scenery under the blurred light, and couldn't take his eyes off it.

The atmosphere was high, and someone took out a deck of truth or dare cards to play. There were 54 truth cards and 18 risk cards.Xie Tong shook the dice and drew an adventure card, which rotated 20 times on the spot.It's okay, it's not a nuisance.Xie Tong started turning around without saying a word, counting everyone while turning around, when the voice of "twenty" fell, Xie Tong fell on a person in a daze. "Are you going to throw yourself into your arms?" Yang Yunyan teased as he put his arms around him.

When it was Yang Yunyan's turn, he also drew an adventure card, which read: Kissing someone of the same sex.After seeing the content of the adventure, everyone started booing, and Yang Yunyan locked his eyes on Xie Tong with a half-smile amidst the booing.Meeting his gaze, Xie Tong was very embarrassed, just about to get up to pee, but was held down by the people around him, and his heartbeat gradually accelerated amidst the voices of "kiss me".Feeling the temperature on his lips, he widened his eyes. Yang Yunyan took the opportunity to hold his face and deepened the kiss. Xie Tong's mind went blank. When he came back to his senses, Yang Yunyan had already let go of him. There are cheers one after another.

This episode did not attract too much attention. Everyone continued to play the game, but Xie Tong was a little absent-minded. He glanced at Yang Yunyan, who was having fun, and told himself with a deep breath that it was just a game.
