fall in love too early

The author has something to say: Qi Jia.Lu Baifei thought to himself, it's really Qi Jia.

The ex, whom he hadn't seen in six years, was surrounded by a group of people, standing outside the meeting room like stars.

Six years is long enough, so long that Lu Baifei hasn't dreamed about the past for a long time.It grew so long that Lu Baifei thought that he had completely let go.

But he still involuntarily went through the appearance of Qi Jia he saw a few minutes ago in his mind.

He was no longer that 19-year-old boy.

Qi Jia was wearing a fine-quality shirt and trousers, her face was gentle and stern, her eyes had lost a bit of vigor, but her overall demeanor was much calmer than before.

Lu Baifei couldn't tell what it was like in his heart.He was walking along the corridor. On the way, an employee crossed his body with him and called him hesitantly, "Lu, Teacher Lu..."

Lu Baifei asked him, "Is the rest area in front?"

The employee immediately pointed out the direction to him courteously, "After walking past, turn left and you will be there."

Lu Baifei thanked him, walked through the corridor, and walked into the empty rest area.Outside the glass partition is an open office area. At present, the internal testing phase of this game is coming to an end, and there are many feedbacks from players. It is the stage where the creative team is busy with rectification and debugging.

Lu Baifei took out a bottle of water from the vertical freezer in the corner, twisted the bottle cap, and watched everyone busy in front of their computers, and his mind was a little empty.

A few minutes later, the glass partition of the lounge was knocked twice.

Lu Baifei turned around, and Qi Jia was standing by the door.

What is he here for?Lu Baifei frowned, and there was no other expression on his face.

Qi Jia seemed calm at first glance, but with his current status, it's not very decent to chase Lu Baifei out of the conference room.

Lu Baifei raised his head and took a sip of water, then looked at Qi Jia and said nothing.

Qi Jia's aura in front of people just now is completely restrained now.There was no door to this lounge, but he stood on the edge of the partition, not even daring to enter.

His lips moved and he called out, "Brother Lu."

Lu Baifei smiled, "Long time no see."

Qi Jia was born with fair skin, and with Lu Baifei staring at him like this, he could still pretend to be calm, but when he looked closely, the tips of his ears were actually red.

"Recently...how is it lately?" He asked cautiously.

Lu Baifei said two words in a very light tone, "Very good."

The atmosphere of this unexpected reunion was too unfamiliar, even Qi Jia, who was eloquent, felt unable to continue the conversation.

Lu Baifei didn't intend to stay with him any longer, so after finishing speaking, she took the water bottle and walked out.

The entrance and exit of the rest room were wide enough, and there was still half a meter between them. At the moment when they were about to get sidetracked, Qi Jia called out "Brother" in desperation.

Lu Baifei paused for a moment, then said coldly, "Call your name, Qi Jia."

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

The past has already been turned over, Lu Baifei doesn't want to get involved with Qi Jia.

Qi Jia's complexion turned paler visibly, as if he couldn't accept Lu Baifei who was so cold and distant towards him.

He put his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers, and his silhouette still looked like the handsome financial upstart, but there was an unconscious bewilderment in his eyes.He turned his head and asked Lu Baifei who was about to go far away, "When are you leaving? The traffic here is inconvenient. I'll ask the driver to take you."

——Rather than a friendly proposal, it is better to say that the question itself is close to self-inflicted humiliation.

Lu Baifei had already walked two steps away. Hearing this, he slowly turned around, looked at Qi Jia with an expression of "what the hell are you thinking?", and said, "No need."

He didn't explain that he came by car, and he didn't express his gratitude to Qi Jia for his kindness.Immediately after finishing speaking, she turned around and walked away, leaving Qi Jia standing in the office area with people coming and going, not slowing down for several minutes.

Qi Jia was constantly distracted by the meeting process to be held later, and the time to watch online games.

It's not that he didn't think about going to find Lu Baifei after returning to China for more than a year.He thought about it many times.

One is because he is busy with starting a business, which made him temporarily put aside his emotional affairs, and on the other hand, it may be because he has never had the chance to meet Lu Baifei in person, so that eagerness to move was suppressed.

But now Qi Jia saw him.The scene of the reunion just now was played back frame by frame in my mind.

Facing the flickering game screen, Qi Jia frowned unconsciously.The assistant who was traveling with him noticed his strange expression, and asked in a low voice, "President Qi, is there something inappropriate?"

Qi Jia came back to her senses and said, "It's all right."

But by the end of the meeting, he couldn't fully return to work.When shaking hands with the team leader before leaving, he couldn't help asking, "How did you think of inviting Mr. Lu to do music creation?"

The other party smiled and replied, "We are alumni, we are a few years away, and we all graduated from the University of Science and Technology. It can be considered that he is selling me as a senior brother."

Qi Jia nodded, and said the only thing she had said in affirmation since entering here, "The game concept is very forward-looking. In addition, the music is also a highlight. The details of the plan should be refined, and the cake must be moderate."

What he said was quite pertinent, but it still meant approval, which at least left hope for the follow-up evaluation.The people around breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time, with smiles on their faces, and sent Qi Jia and his party away.

Ever since he met Lu Baifei, although Qi Jia had concealed it very well on the surface, he knew in his heart that he was a little out of control every day.

He really wanted to see Lu Baifei again, apologized to him, had a calm chat with him, and also wanted to talk about his experiences and insights after the separation these years.In short, I want Lu Baifei to see a different Qi Jia from before.

This urge became more and more intense as time passed, burning like a scorching fire at the tip of Qi Jia's heart.

Qi Jia left the company every night, or returned home after accompanying her mother from the hospital. When she was alone, she seemed to be in a daze, and repeatedly recalled the details of her love.

Finally, after half a month of patience, he couldn't sit still and decided to take the initiative to try it once.At present, he and Lu Baifei have no overlapping social circles, and he can't find any proper reason to invite the other party out. As a last resort, he can only find someone to investigate Lu Baifei's address. After getting the information, he hesitated several times. The growing yearning took hold.

Qi Jia chose a relatively free afternoon on the weekend, tidied herself up briefly, and then drove to a high-end residential area near the third ring road.

Along the way, he was a little uneasy, carrying all kinds of worries, and because of this, he got off the wrong exit of the viaduct, and took a detour for more than ten minutes.

When he drove to the street where the community is located, it was already dark, and the high street lights shone through the broad-leaved trees, creating a hazy and warm tone on the small but quiet side street.It seems that the looming old love is waving to Qi Jia in the gap between reality and memory.

The anticipation in Qi Jia's heart accumulated as she gradually approached the community, and even began to have unrealistic assumptions: Should I book a restaurant first? ...Maybe he can invite Lu Baifei to have a meal with him.

When he drove to the gate of the community and the security guard called the visitor number for him, he learned that Lu Baifei was not at home that day.Qi Jia's full expectations were dashed, and he was not allowed to enter the community.

But going back home like this, Qi Jia felt unwilling, so he parked the car on the street outside the gate of the community, and went to the sentry box every 10 minutes to ask the security guard if Lu Baifei had come back.

After waiting like this for nearly two hours, the sky had completely darkened, and the October wind felt cool on my body.Even the security guard who changed shift advised him to come back another day.

Qi Jia raised her wrist to look at her watch, and silently said to herself, wait until ten o'clock, or forget it if it doesn't work.

When he turned back into the car again, his steps became heavier, and he felt a sense of frustration and powerlessness.After all, today is different from the past, Qi Jia thought, even meeting Lu Baifei is so difficult.

Lu Baifei certainly didn't expect Qi Jia to be wandering around his home at this moment.He had a party with some friends in the industry tonight, and because he drank some wine during the dinner, he called his assistant to drive him home.

When the car drove to the neighboring community, a figure standing on the side of the street caught Lu Baifei's attention.

It was a young man with a thin profile, standing alone under the shadow of a tree, behind him was a black car with the engine still on.His head drooped slightly, a cigarette was biting between his lips...

The assistant drove the car, and Lu Baifei sat in the back seat with a third of drunkenness.

A lot of thoughts came to him at once, he turned his head slightly, and the man followed the track of the vehicle and looked up.

Lu Baifei looked at him through the car window.

The two were stunned at the same time.The car has already passed.

Qi Jia involuntarily ran after him for a few meters, the cigarette fell to the ground, and he stopped suddenly.

Lu Baifei's car stopped not far ahead, and then a tall figure got out of the car.

Qi Jia's heart was beating very fast, and the elegance and alertness in his body seemed useless at the moment, he could only watch Lu Baifei approaching him in a daze.

However, the man opposite was far calmer than him.

Lu Baifei walked up to Qi Jia, and kept a sufficient social distance from him when he stopped.

With an expression full of expectation but not sure, Qi Jia accompanied Xiaoxin and called out, "Brother Lu..."

There was no wavering in Lu Baifei's eyes, and he asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

Qi Jia was dumbfounded for a moment, but couldn't think of any reasonable explanation in his mind, only to hear Lu Baifei say in a clear tone, "Did you find someone to investigate me?"

"It's been six years, Qi Jia, why are you still so persistent?"——The words seemed to be full of disappointment, and they were just as matter-of-fact as a stranger.

Qi Jia has always been proud and used to it, no one has ever made him wait so long.Waiting for several hours was not worth mentioning, Lu Baifei's words were like a slap in the face to his face.

If the hasty reunion at the game company hadn't made him fully understand Lu Baifei's thoughts, this time Qi Jia finally couldn't lie to himself anymore.

The man in front of him is no longer the Lu Baifei who was repeatedly provoked by Qi Jia six years ago, got hurt repeatedly because of him, and begged him to "don't do this".

Now Qi Jia has no influence on him.Lu Baifei was indifferent and composed, kept his distance, even saying a few more words was too cumbersome.

Qi Jia managed to stabilize her emotions and explained her purpose of coming here, "I really want, really want to have the opportunity to say sorry to you in person. So, I asked a friend for your contact information."

After hearing this, Lu Baifei smiled slightly and said, "No need, Qi Jia. Don't come to my place again."
