It took Xu Zhiyuan a while to say, "I miss you."

Yu Yao heard his voice choked up, wanted to see his face, and asked, "Crying?"

"No."

Xu Zhiyuan is now half a palm taller than Yu Yao, and his strength is no longer "equal" with him. When he hugged Yu Yao tightly, Yu Yao could no longer break free.

Yu Yao turned his head and kissed him on the cheek, and said, "Me too..." His lips touched something salty and wet, and Yu Yao said, "...and said he wasn't crying."

Xu Zhiyuan changed the subject and said, "Yao'er, why did you appear here, you..." He desperately wanted to know how Yu Yao spent the years when he had no news from Beicheng, but he held back the raging longing , did not forget that there is still business at the moment: "Why did you interrupt the connection... Is there something wrong with that guest?"

"Yes, he has betrayed. If this handover is successful, the comrades in Huai City will get some wrong information to expose their identities. I was sent by the organization to disrupt this matchmaking."

"So that's how it is," Xu Zhiyuan said solemnly. He remembered that Meng Miaochang was still talking with the traitor there. With her keenness and intelligence, she should have already noticed the clue.He said: "Whenever you plan to deal with him, I can help you anytime... tonight."

Seeing that Xu Zhiyuan, who was pointing a gun at him just now, turned his back directly, Yu Yao felt relieved and helpless, and said: "Since you are doing intelligence work, you must have your own thinking and judgment, and draw conclusions with reason and evidence. Trust anyone, including me—you never thought about what if I was the one who lied."

"Then I believe you too." Xu Zhiyuan said without hesitation, "Besides, you are reluctant to lie to me."

Yu Yao twisted his face and found that it really grew a layer of thickness every year.He said: "I will report the situation, you don't need to do it."

He took Xu Zhiyuan's arm around his waist away, and said, "You go back first." Xu Zhiyuan held onto his fingers, and Yu Yao understood what he was thinking, and said, "There is a road to the east of Jirui Hotel." There is a coffee shop, and there is a bookstore on the second floor called 'Xing Zhi', which is also run by Fang's family, if you can get away, you can find me somewhere."

But Xu Zhiyuan squeezed even tighter, his gaze was like a trap, he wanted to grab the person in front of him and lock him up before he stopped.Yu Yao sighed, took the initiative to kiss his lips, and then "unlocked" his fingers.

Xu Zhiyuan agreed: "Okay."

This reunion was only short enough for a cigarette, Yu Yao's figure disappeared into the darkness, Xu Zhiyuan also returned to normal, and returned to the party.

When Meng Miaochang saw him again, she folded her hands on her chest, tilted her head, frowned and said, "What are you doing?"

Xu Zhiyuan said in a comfortable mood: "I want you to take care of it."

Meng Miaochang looked around and said softly: "The waiter is not your acquaintance, is it... Yu Yao?"

Xu Zhiyuan sometimes felt that Meng Miaochang buried many eyes beside him, otherwise her intuition would be outrageous for a normal person.

Xu Zhiyuan stared at her, his eyes said: "How do you know?"

"I thought that figure was familiar," Meng Miaochang said, "and...you were surrounded by red flowers when you came back, Mr. Xu, do you still have to guess?"

Xu Zhiyuan stopped the loss in time, and immediately prevaricated her with business, saying: "What happened to that man just now."

Meng Miaochang also switched states quickly, and said, "I think there is something wrong with him."

"Indeed," Xu Zhiyuan said, "he has betrayed, Yu...the waiter is here to interrupt the connection."

"No wonder," Meng Miaochang analyzed, "he just looked around, his expression was in a daze, and he didn't do anything else for a long time, as if he was very frightened in his heart. Ordinary intelligence personnel should not be interrupted by accident. Change, or try to continue to send signals in other ways..."

"Hey," Xu Zhiyuan said, "I'm a little curious about what kind of person your sister is."

Meng Miaochang choked, became alert, and said, "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

Xu Zhiyuan admired him sincerely: "The person who can bring you down must have a higher level of cultivation than you."

"..."

Meng Miaochang, who had made a false alarm, raised her high heels and stomped on him expressionlessly.

……

Compared with Yangzhi, the furnishings of Xingzhi Bookstore have changed a lot, but the style is still the same.

The afternoon sun was just right, and Yu Yao was conscientiously performing his duties as a bookstore employee.With a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, he was standing on the double-sided ladder, with a stack of books in his arms, and the other finger was clicking on the high-level bookshelves one by one.

The wind blew the curtains, and the sunlight flickered in front of his eyes. Because he was too focused, he didn't notice that a figure crept up behind him, looking at him fiercely.

It wasn't until Yu Yao climbed halfway up the ladder that he was hugged by a big thing in the air, and he was arrested with the books and others, then he said angrily: "You... don't make trouble."

Xu Zhiyuan pushed up his glasses.Yu Yao hit the bookshelf with his back, caught off guard and bit his lower lip. He gave a "tsk" helplessly, closed his teeth, turned his head to the side, and said with difficulty: "Little bastard, let go."

The bastard's sneak attack didn't taste the sweetness, he stared at him unwillingly with black eyes, bit his lip, and said, "But I haven't seen you for a long time."

"This is a public place," Yu Yao reprimanded softly, stuffed the book into his arms, and found him something to do, "Put it on the counter."

Xu Zhiyuan had no choice but to do it reluctantly. Yu Yao wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and the tip of his tongue had a bit of salty taste, only then did he realize that his lips were torn.

He pursed his lips, put his glasses in his pocket, and followed behind Xu Zhiyuan, and saw that he was wearing a white long shirt today, which made him look slender, and his hair was let down obediently.In a daze, Yu Yao thought he saw that naughty student who was making jokes in Jiming's classroom.

Yu Yao was in a daze, stretched out his hand to measure his height, and accidentally touched the top of his head, Xu Zhiyuan stopped, looked back at him for a while, lowered his head, and said "here".

"..." Yu Yao rubbed the head that was within reach, dumbfounded.

The two people in the aisle were clothed in the warmth of the midday sun, Xu Zhiyuan continued to walk on this limited length of the road, and suddenly felt that this was just right, and he didn't want to ask about those four years of suffering anymore.

He called out, "Little Uncle."

"Ok?"

"I miss you every day." Xu Zhiyuan was full of thousands of words, poured out of his mouth and turned into plain boiled water, he said, "I miss you so much."

Yu Yao said: "You have already said it once."

Xu Zhiyuan put the book down, rested his head on his shoulder, and when his eyelashes blinked, he would tickle Yu Yao's neck, and said, "Not enough."

Xu Zhiyuan: "We haven't seen each other for more than 600 days. I have to think about it once a day. How can I only talk about it once."

Yu Yao couldn't help but said, "Stop saying such nasty things."

Yu Yao was separating the books ordered by customers one by one. The head resting on his shoulder was a little in the way, so he didn't have the heart to rush.He quietly glanced at Xu Zhiyuan who was resting peacefully, and his mind was surging for a while.

The four years he lived in Beicheng were not peaceful. He worked hard to get in touch with his elder brother. He suffered from injuries for a long time. In the next few years, he helped Yu Yan with housework while doing work in the fellowship club, and finally Wait until the time is right before sneaking into Huai City again.But in just a few years, things have changed, there is no one in Xu's house, and there is a big change... Especially when he saw Xu Zhiyuan again at the party, he saw him turning around in leather shoes, skillfully holding a cigarette Turning around in the world of people, I can't help but feel a kind of pain in my heart.

In the past, he always blamed Xu Zhiyuan for being like a child who didn't grow up, but when he really wanted to stand alone, Yu Yao realized that he was actually even more reluctant.

He sighed softly in his heart, but inadvertently glanced at the old scar on the back of Xu Zhiyuan's neck, frowned, and went to push off his back collar, the hideous scar that crawled down the back into the depths of his clothes made his heart skip a beat trembling.

He touched it lightly and said, "How did it hurt?"

Xu Zhiyuan said indifferently: "Xu Zhenping beat him."

Yu Yao also understood why Xu Zhenping acted so cruelly——Xu Zhiyuan was charged with robbing him from prison and saving him from death. Without this scar, Xu Zhiyuan probably wouldn't be able to stand here and talk to him.

Yu Yao's eyelashes drooped, and his chest was filled with soreness. He murmured, "Since you knew the danger, why did you do that in the first place?"

Xu Zhiyuan would show his canine teeth when he smiled slightly. He looked like a cunning fox. He took Yu Yao's hand, put his palm on the scar on the back of his neck to warm it, and said softly: "...in order to make your heart feel sorry me."
