agree to be each other's stand-in

February 2, Western Valentine's Day.

Xie Nanyuan has been so busy lately that he doesn't know what day or night it is.It was only when I saw the schedule reminder on my mobile phone today that I remembered that today is the holiday.

She and Lu Kaiyan had already booked a restaurant to celebrate years ago, and they were both very much looking forward to this date.Xie Nanyuan has been working overtime during the Chinese New Year, and has left Lu Kaiyan alone for a long time, so he cannot be absent this time no matter what.

When she arrived at the hospital in the morning, she quickly asked a colleague to help with the shift. She agreed that the other party would be on duty for half a day, and then she would be on duty for the other party for a whole day, and finally freed up time.

After work at noon, Xie Nanyuan changed his clothes, and after eating in the cafeteria, he was ready to pick out gifts for Lu Kaiyan.

She has already figured out what to buy - Lu Kaiyan has been complaining recently that her microphone has been used for a long time, and the sound quality is not as good as before.Xie Nanyuan had paid attention to it a long time ago, seeing that she hadn't changed it, she planned to take this as a Valentine's Day gift.I would have bought it online, it was cheaper.I just forgot about it later, so I had to go to the store to see it now.

But this is also good, these electronic products are always prone to problems, and the warranty will be convenient when the time comes.

Xie Nanyuan only knows to go to Wanda Plaza for shopping.But when I got here, I didn't see anything for sale for a long time, so I had to take out my mobile phone, searched the computer city in this city, and prepared to go there.Fortunately, the distance is not far, and it only takes a few minutes to walk there.

As a result, I went down to the second floor and suddenly saw an acquaintance.

Xie Nanyuan came forward to say hello with a smile, "Xiao Gao, Xiao Chen, long time no see."

Both Xiao Gao and Xiao Chen are Lu Kaiyan's high school classmates, and they are also her friends who still have contacts in reality.They all knew about Xie Nanyuan and her affairs, and sometimes they would make appointments for a meal or something. The more people there, the more exciting it would be, and there would be more choices.

From Xie Nanyuan's point of view, although she and Lu Kaiyan couldn't get a certificate, living together like this can be regarded as forming a small family.Although they are still renting a house, both of them are saving money. In two years, they should be able to afford a small house near the hospital.

She considers herself a member of Lu Kaiyan's family, and of course she is devoted to Lu Kaiyan's friends.Now that we met, I smiled and asked the other party to come to my house to play when they are free.

Xiao Gao was very happy to see her, but Xiao Chen had an uncomfortable expression on his face.Xie Nanyuan didn't think much about it, she just thought she didn't want to meet acquaintances, so she planned to say a few words and leave.

But Xiao Gao suddenly asked, "Sister Xie, are you here to look for Lu Kaiyan?"

Xie Nanyuan thought that the two of them were meeting to go shopping, and immediately felt wrong when they heard this sentence, why is Lu Kaiyan here?Why didn't you see it?And I haven't heard her say that there is any party today. ——Lu Kaiyan is a talkative person, he should have nagged about this kind of thing several times.

Thinking about it this way, I couldn't help but keep an eye on it.

Many times later, Xie Nanyuan recalled this day and this moment, and often felt that maybe it was a woman's intuition that was at work.

She didn't show her thoughts on the surface, but followed Xiao Gao's words, "Yeah, where are you dating?"

"It's right here." Xiao Gao said, "Eat first, and then go upstairs to sing. Sister Xie, you want to come with us..."

Xiao Chen pulled Xiao Gao's sleeve desperately from behind, as if reminding him of something.Xiao Gao also seemed to have reacted, took a deep breath exaggeratedly, and even subconsciously raised her hand to cover her mouth. The next moment, she realized that she had lost her composure, and quickly put down her hand, "You want to go with us ?”

The invitation turned into a question, and even the tone was much weaker.

"What's the matter, isn't it appropriate for me to go with you?" Xie Nanyuan asked with a smile on purpose, "What kind of party is it, I'm shameful?"

Lu Kaiyan is a careless person, and has no concept of privacy protection. She and Xie Nanyuan's matter was said by herself.When meeting Xiao Gao and Xiao Chen for the first time, Xie Nanyuan was taken aback.But she quickly got used to it, and reciprocated, and introduced Lu Kaiyan to her colleagues.

So what party is she not going to?

"No, no," Xiao Gao quickly waved his hands, looking like he was about to cry, but the more nervous he was, the more he said the wrong thing, "It's a high school reunion... That, sister Xie, you really don't have to worry about it."

Xiao Chen pulled Xiao Gao's sleeve again, and Xiao Gao quickly shut up.

But Xie Nanyuan had already guessed.

When she and Lu Kaiyan dated each other, they were very jerky, and it was definitely the first time for each other, so Xie Nanyuan never thought about whether Lu Kaiyan had any "past".But now it seems that not only do they exist, but everyone knows about them, except for her, Xie Nanyuan, who can't know about them.

She must have liked someone very high-profile in high school...Even until now, that person is still a taboo that cannot be mentioned.

And it is today.

Is this why Lu Kaiyan didn't say anything to her?You can say what is irrelevant, but if it involves the person in your heart, it will suddenly be kept secret.

Xie Nanyuan pinched his arm fiercely, so as not to show any strange color on his face.

"Of course I don't care." She smiled nonchalantly. "How long ago did it happen? If I'm jealous of this, can I get over it?"

Hearing this sentence, Xiao Chen couldn't help shrinking his neck, feeling even more worried.But Xiao Gao didn't care much, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sister Xie, you are right, there is nothing to care about, it's all their nonsense."

These words made Xie Nanyuan puzzled, since the matter was true, but just kept it from her, why did it become nonsense again?There seems to be other reasons here.

Thinking of this, she took Xiao Gao's hand and said with a smile, "Speaking of this, I have one more question to ask you."

Seeing this, Xiao Chen hesitated to speak, but unfortunately Xiao Gao didn't see her face, he was already dragged aside by Xie Nanyuan, and it was inconvenient for her to follow, so he could only worry blindly aside.

Here Xie Nanyuan asked Xiao Gao with a smile, "I only know that Lu Kaiyan liked someone in high school, and I didn't ask about the specifics. I'm afraid it will be embarrassing to meet each other later, so please tell me who the other party is first, I'll be fine." Avoid it."

Rao Xiaogao's rough nerves, he also felt that it was not good to hear this.But after thinking about it, she felt that what Xie Nanyuan said made sense.Xie Nanyuan has always been kind and generous, even if he coaxes Lu Kaiyan, he should coax Lu Kaiyan in private, and definitely not in front of everyone.But it would be embarrassing if he coaxed out a conflict by mistake because he didn't know anyone.

Thinking of this, she hesitated and said, "Actually, I don't know much about it. I only know that she is our goddess in high school, and her name is Jiang Siyue. Others, you will understand when you see people."

Jiang Siyue.

Hearing this name here unexpectedly, Xie Nanyuan couldn't help being in a daze.

The world is really small.

Xie Nanyuan's footsteps slowed down, she bit the tip of her tongue lightly to keep herself calm, then put one hand into her pocket and held the phone.Taking advantage of Xiao Gao not paying attention, she took out her phone and quickly pressed it a few times, then put it back, and after a while, the melodious piano music rang in her pocket.

"There is a call." Xie Nanyuan stopped, made an apologetic gesture towards Xiaogao, took out the phone and turned off the volume, pretending to answer.

After a while, she put away her mobile phone and said to Xiao Gao, "Sorry, there is an urgent matter at the hospital, I have to go back."

"Ah..." Xiao Gao froze for a moment.

Xiao Chen, who just walked over here, quickly said, "It's okay, work is important."

Xie Nanyuan nodded to the two of them, turned around and took two steps, then seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head and smiled, "By the way, don't tell Lu Kaiyan what happened to the two of you here. Right? I was fine in the afternoon, so I wanted to drop by and surprise her, but I didn't expect something to happen again. "

"I know, I know, we won't say anything." Xiao Chen and Xiao Gao were relieved when they heard the words, and they agreed wholeheartedly.

I thought I couldn't escape today, and I was about to encounter the Shura field.Now that Xie Nanyuan has left, a crisis has become invisible. It's too late for them to be happy, so naturally there will be no accidents.

……

Xie Nanyuan rounded a corner, stood on the escalator, and made sure that Xiao Gao and Xiao Chen couldn't see him from the perspective, so his shoulders slowly collapsed.

However, before she could adjust her mood, her eyes suddenly caught a familiar figure.

The body responded before the brain, Xie Nanyuan turned his back, pretended to look at the billboard on the side of the elevator, and raised his hand to smooth his forehead hair to cover his face.There are smooth metal walls on both sides of the escalator, and a not-so-clear reflection can be seen.Xie Nanyuan stared at the wall until his eyes became sour, and then he saw Lu Kaiyan and Jiang Siyue standing on the escalator on the upward side, slowly passing behind him.

At this moment, she heard Jiang Siyue's voice, which was gentle and sweet, "I haven't been back for almost ten years. The neighborhood has changed so much that I almost don't know each other. If you didn't come to pick me up, I really don't know what to do." .”

Lu Kaiyan smiled heartily, "Old classmate, of course you can't refuse where you can help. You just came back, and I guess you are not used to many places, so you can come to me if you have any doubts."

Xie Nanyuan bit his lower lip hard, and didn't come back to his senses until he tasted the sweet smell of rust.

She turned her head and saw that the person next to her pillow was standing intimately with another woman.When she was about to get off the elevator, Lu Kaiyan stretched out her hand to help the other person very thoughtfully, this was the first time she saw such thoughtfulness.

She staggered suddenly, the elevator had already descended to the bottom, but she didn't get out in time.Xie Nanyuan walked a few steps quickly, holding on to the wall next to him to stabilize his figure.Some people in the same company passed by and looked over in surprise, which made her suddenly feel a strong sense of shame and embarrassment.

She stood there for a while, suddenly she had a flash of inspiration, took out her mobile phone and clicked into Moments, and sure enough, she saw Jiang Siyue's latest news: finally came back.The accompanying picture is a selfie.

That face was completely similar to Xie Nanyuan's, but it was weaker, more melancholy, and more pitiful.

Xiao Gao said: "You will understand when you see people."

Now, Xie Nanyuan really understood.

The stand-in was myself.

The clown was myself.
