dedicated to memorial day

That evening, Cheng Jingshen got on the plane back to City A, and there was no delay, and Zhou Yu didn't go to see him off.

It's just that the relationship between the two of them has become subtle since that day. They would say good morning and good night to each other like friends, and they would talk about their work and rest in May, the books they had read, the flowers and plants on the roof, and the first rain in summer. But they never talked about the shaking in their hearts, and never studied the meaning of that kiss.

It was indeed a gentle and secure kiss, but it was also a kiss that did not contain any lust.If Cheng Jingshen hadn't happened to be catching an evening flight that day, they happened to have a few glasses of beer together, and he said those words recklessly, Cheng Jingshen would not have kissed him, and likewise, he would not have responded to Cheng Jingshen.

Zhou Yu glanced at the seat next to the wall. Everyone seemed to be used to it being reserved for someone after five o'clock, so that a week after Cheng Jingshen left, as soon as five o'clock passed, the seat would still be automatically vacant. .

"Boss, do you know what you look like now?" Xiaoxi put her hips on her hips and sprayed water on the flowers.

"what?"

"Like Yiping after Shuhuan left."

"The first day after Dr. Cheng left, the second day after Dr. Cheng left, the third~day after Dr. Cheng left~" Xiaoxi covered her face with her hand on her hip, making an exaggerated expression .

Zhou Yu glanced at her, and said lightly, "Xiaoxi."

"Hmm~" Xiaoxi, who was still immersed in the role, turned her face back artificially.

"You will find a better job." Zhou Yuyu patted Xiaoxi's shoulder earnestly.

"Ah~ don't do this~"

"If you talk to me with wavy lines again, I will let you know right away if I want to do this." Zhou Yu said to Xiaoxi with a smile.

"Good boss."

"..."

Zhou Yu suddenly thought of something, and said to Xiaoxi: "By the way, I have found a summer job for Xiaodong. If you agree...you can let Xiaodong experience it."

Xiaoxi was a little surprised: "Huh? But Dr. Cheng has helped Xiaodong arrange his summer job."

Zhou Yu looked at her suspiciously: "Huh?"

Xiaoxi nodded: "Really! The entry procedures have been completed. Dr. Cheng said that instead of letting him live in the kind of doubt that he will have a better choice than now, it is better to let him give up after really experiencing it." .”

What if you still want to choose this kind of life after experiencing it?

The kind of life that deviates from the expectations of others.

Zhou Yu didn't know how to respond for a while.

"Dr. Cheng is really kind. Before he left, he still remembered about Xiaodong."

Xiaoxi looked around the empty tea room and said, "Speaking of which, after Dr. Cheng's absence, the shop has really become quite deserted."

"I'm not used to it anymore." Xiaoxi put her fingers under Wuyue's nose and said to Wuyue, "Is that right, eldest niece."

At some point, Wu Yue became the eldest niece in Xiao Xi's mouth.After Wu Yue sniffed Xiaoxi's fingers, she quickly got into the flower pot behind.

Zhou Yu looked at Xiaoxi and didn't say anything.

"Xiao Xi, are you off work?" Xiao Chen poked his head in from the door and smiled at Zhou Yu, who also nodded at him.

"Xiao Chen~ I'll be fine soon."

Xiaoxi jumped up, took off her apron with lightning speed, said goodbye to Zhou Yu, picked up her bag and disappeared at the door with Xiao Chen.

... not used to a ghost!

Looking at Xiao Xi's back, Zhou Yu sighed slightly, turned around and fed two clover sticks to Wu Yue, Wu Yue stayed by his side all the time, so he trusted him more and more, sometimes crawling out of the nest in the middle of the night He wanted to sleep with him on the bed, Zhou Yu was not willing at first, and carried it back to his nest again and again, but the little thing was disobedient, and after that Zhou Yu just let it go.

Zhou Yu touched its ears, and said to himself, "Boy, when will your father come back?"

After Shuhuan left...

No.

On the 32nd day after Cheng Jingshen left, the tomato on the rooftop bears its first fruit, a hard blue color.

Zhou Yu took a photo and sent it to Cheng Jingshen, and Cheng Jingshen replied quickly.

"At home? Can I turn on the video?"

Zhou Yu was silent for a while, then made a video call.Cheng Jingshen's face appeared on the phone interface, still wearing a white coat, his eyes were a little tired, he looked thinner, but his smile was still the same as in memory.

"Not off work yet?" Zhou Yu adjusted the camera to find a location with better light.

"Well, I have to be on night shift today." Cheng Jingshen watched his movements motionlessly.

"Dentists also work night shift?" Zhou Yu asked.

Cheng Jingshen nodded: "There is a night shift for dentistry at the headquarters, but there are not many things to do."

Cheng Jingshen added: "City A has changed a lot."

Zhou Yu was a little skeptical: "Really? It's only been three months since you left City A?"

Cheng Jingshen said, "You can come back and take a look."

Zhou Yu was taken aback, then smiled: "The flower shop is quite busy."

Cheng Jingshen stared at Zhou Yu for a while, then nodded and asked, "Have the tomatoes grown?"

"Yeah." Zhou Yu turned the camera around, held the blue tomato with his hand, and showed it to Cheng Jingshen, "You should be able to eat it when you come back."

"Zhou Yu."

"Ok?"

"I saw it, turn the camera over."

Zhou Yu gave a soft "Oh" and turned the camera back. The two looked at each other. After a few seconds of silence, Cheng Jingshen coughed lightly and asked, "Where is May?"

Zhou Yu indicated the direction with his eyes and said, "Gaze there, do you want to see it?"

"no need……"

Wu Yue seemed to sense that Zhou Yu was talking about it, and looked at him, Zhou Yu smiled and called to it: "Boy, come here."

Cheng Jingshen laughed and asked, "What is a bastard? A bastard?"

Wuyue bumped into Zhou Yu's arms, Zhou Yu rubbed its ears with a smile, and said embarrassedly: "Didn't you always say that she is your daughter?"

"My daughter is your son?" Cheng Jingshen asked with raised eyebrows.

Zhou Yu didn't answer, just lowered his head to tease May.

After a while, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something, raised his head and asked, "What are you..."

When are you coming back?

"Depth of field!" A female voice came in from outside the screen and interrupted Zhou Yu's question.

Cheng Jingshen looked in the direction of the voice, then stood up, and smiled apologetically at Zhou Yu: "Sorry, I have to hang up, let's talk later."

Zhou Yu nodded and pressed the hang up button first.

What about "depth of field", shouldn't it be called Dr. Cheng in the hospital?Even he hasn't called him such an intimate name as "depth of field".

The phone vibrated twice, Zhou Yu came back to his senses, and saw the message from Cheng Jingshen:

"I should be able to go back in August."

But it was not Cheng Jingshen who waited in August, but the circle of friends where Cheng Jingshen took photos with others.It was a group photo, everyone was wearing the same white coat, Cheng Jingshen was not in the center, standing in the middle was a kind-hearted old man, with a woman between Cheng Jingshen and the old man.

Cheng Jingshen doesn't often post on Moments, but occasionally posts links to articles about dental science. He also posted a few photos of May before, so there are very few "remarkable" photos.

Looking at that photo, Zhou Yu always felt that there was something awkward about it, but no matter how you look at it, it was just an ordinary photo, and it was very likely that it was posted out of affection.

"Tall, this position is really high." Xiao Xi, who was behind him, bent down and looked at the photos on Zhou Yu's phone and touched his chin.

"What?" Zhou Yu asked puzzled.

"Look at this woman, she is clearly standing next to the center, but her body is tilted to the other side." Xiaoxi pointed at the arm that Cheng Jingshen didn't capture, "Here, Doctor Cheng is obviously trying not to block her." Just put the arms behind, but even though they have opened up a safe distance, there will still be a feeling that this woman is standing in Dr. Cheng's arms. Coupled with the distance from the tilt of the head, wow, boss, don't look at it so small A few millimeters smaller, it's the kind of ambiguous feeling that you want to talk about!"

Zhou Yu looked at the photo carefully, and when he looked at Xiao Xi again, his eyes were full of admiration.A woman's sixth sense is indeed a seemingly metaphysical scientific phenomenon.

Zhou Yu laughed so hard that he didn't know whether it was helplessness or amused: "How do you understand so well?"

"I've had enough of the suffering of love, and I've tasted all the losses of scumbags." Xiaoxi patted Zhou Yu's shoulder heavily, "Boss, trust me, this woman is not easy."

Zhou Yu also nodded solemnly, the atmosphere has a sense of dignity at the moment of life and death, and the BGM seems to have already played-"For all the pain that is persistent for love, for all the pain that is persistent for hate."

Xiaoxi asked: "Boss, did Dr. Cheng tell you who this woman is?"

Zhou Yu shook his head, and suddenly remembered the "depth of field" he heard when he was on the phone with Cheng Jingshen.

Xiao Xi said to the photo, "Tsk tsk, what a pity..."

Zhou Yu asked, "What's the pity?"

Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, and rapped: "It's a pity that a straight daughter chases after her daughter, and she uses all her efforts to make wedding dresses for others~"

Zhou Yu was taken aback: "How do you know?"

Xiaoxi was also taken aback: "You know?"

Zhou Yu thought for a while, then nodded: "I know."

Xiaoxi looked terrified: "You know you still sleep in a tent with him?"

Zhou Yu was silent for a few seconds: "I didn't know at that time."

Xiaoxi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay."

Zhou Yu asked again: "So, you already knew?"

Xiaoxi waved his hand, saying that there is no need to mention the past.She was quite surprised by Zhou Yu's calmness: "Now that you know, don't you have any ideas?"

Zhou Yu blinked, puzzled, "What do you think?"

Xiaoxi was once again shocked by her boss's heart: "He is gay, a gay likes you."

"..." Zhou Yu looked at Xiaoxi and was silent for about ten seconds, "He likes me?"

"Um...so you don't know?"

The two looked at each other, Xiao Xi slowly raised his hand to cover his mouth.

"Hehe, I don't know anything. Hehe, I'm talking nonsense."
