desolate

As the New Year approaches, the company has to deal with more and more work.

On the second day after signing the contract with Mr. Gao, Pei also had to go on a business trip to other provinces for two weeks because of work. Phone number.

The second after saving this new number in the address book, he left the city.

The accidental reunion with Zhou Ze in mid-December was like throwing a stone into a calm lake, but no matter how big the splash is, it will eventually calm down. This is the "principle of time".

But circle after circle of ripples collided with the soil on the shore, every time it was Ling Chi.

Two days before returning to Seoul, because the work progress of the cooperative unit was surprisingly smooth, the person in charge held a celebration banquet after get off work, and then went to KTV to sing after the meal. Pei Ye and Wang Yihua were also invited to participate .

The person in charge of this company is someone who knows how to do things. It seems that Pei Ye is popular among female employees. Based on the principle of working for the welfare of his employees, the ambiguous wine table games are one after another.

But Pei didn't like this at all. Every time it was his turn to play the game, he would just pick up the wine glass and drink one after another under the disappointed eyes of everyone.

So a female employee teased him loudly: "President Pei can't afford it! It's boring!"

Pei Ye sat in the corner with a faint smile, then reached out and poured the other party's wine into his cup: "The most important thing is to have fun, everyone, you have work tomorrow, I will drink more, you should drink less, and girls drink too much It's not good."

The booing from the side became louder and louder, perhaps because of the alcohol, the girl's cheeks flushed red, and she immediately fell silent.

Fortunately, the lights were dim, and only Wang Yihua saw Pei Ye secretly exchange cups with his own.

So he silently gave a thumbs up to express his admiration.

The celebration banquet did not end until the middle of the night. Pei Ye had always been drinking well, but it was the years of entertainment that ruined his stomach.Fortunately, these young employees are no more difficult than those bosses who are addicted to alcohol, let alone this kind of party, and it is not difficult to deal with them.

So at the end of the show, Pei was only a little dizzy, and it was still due to hypoglycemia.

On the car back to the hotel, Wang Yihua fell asleep on the co-pilot, snoring like thunder, and Pei was holding his phone in the back seat, pressing the lock screen button for a while, and after every two or three repetitions, he would see the number on the screen A transformation occurs.

The neon lights of the city jump tirelessly in the night sky, and the slightly hairy moon is at the junction of light and darkness.

He unconsciously lights up the lock screen again.

This time, the screen just recognized his face and automatically unlocked it, and the unlocked screen immediately jumped to the interface of the phone's address book.

In the middle is his latest new number, which is also a number he has never dialed.

It's late now, is he sleeping?

Pei Ye's fingertips were hanging on it, hesitating.

After a while, he withdrew his finger, clicked on WeChat instead, and entered the string of numbers he knew by heart.

Click to find...

The search results are blank.

Pei also used this string of numbers to search every software, but the results were nothing and nothing.

Like the six years between them.

On the day I went back, it snowed in many parts of the country, including Seoul, so Pei Ye's plane was delayed for an hour.Speaking of that place in Seoul, it rarely snows in winter, and if there is one, it won’t be too big. When the snow falls on the front feet, the back feet will melt, making the ground wet, which is disgusting.

This time it fell a bit bigger than in previous years, at least when Pei Ye landed, he saw a large white roof.

Chen Erxi's gallery is near the airport, and it may have one of those white roofs.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

Wang Yihua rubbed his hands and looked at Chen Erxi's car on the side of the road, feeling very cold.

Pei also glanced at him: "Who told you to wear this—"

Wang Yihua looked at the cashmere coat on himself, and then at Pei Ye's. There was almost no difference between the two, so he was very dissatisfied: "You are not the same!"

"I'm not cold."

"I……"

Wang Yihua heard that his teeth were shaking violently, so he simply shut up.

——It’s not that he is willing to suffer from the cold!

It will open tomorrow, and Chen Erxi finally arranged the content of the venue today. He happened to hear that the two returned from a business trip, so she said that she would drop by and pick them up for dinner near the gallery.

They didn't agree at first, but when it was snowing and New Year's Day, the flow of people soared, and it was extremely difficult to get a taxi near the airport, so Chen Erxi became the only savior.

Looking forward to the stars and the moon, and looking forward to several empty cars, Wang Yihua finally looked forward to Chen Erxi's van.

It's a pity that the heater is not turned on in the car, and the temperature inside and outside the car is the same.

Wang Yihua broke down: "Brother, can't you change the car!"

Chen Erxi turned the steering wheel: "Why change a car that drives well? Besides, I have a truck at home, which is enough."

He bought this car just because it has a lot of space and is cheap, and he doesn't think about the rest. He thinks those useful and useless functions are unnecessary.

Wang Yihua huddled in his seat, and resignedly took out a coat from the suitcase and put it on.

Of course, if he knew that this meal was with Chen Erwan, he wouldn't wear this dress even if he froze to death.

"Hahahahaha! Hua Tsai, what's your new outfit? Coat on coat? Can you lift your hands?"

Wang Yihua bit the bullet and said, "This is called layering!"

Chen Erwan suppressed his smile: "It's very handsome, don't fold it next time."

"Okay, let's go in." Chen Erxi came out of the garage, "...Sandouer, I asked you to cook the bottom of the pot in advance, did you forget?"

Chen Erwan interrupted him vigorously: "How many times have I said that! Don't call me Sandou! It's too dirty!"

"Where is the dirt..."

This little sister has been taken care of the most by him since she was a child. She has always been used to calling her by her nickname, and she still responds before going abroad. Until one time he also called her by her nickname in front of her classmates, the little girl became angry and never wanted to admit it again. This nickname, but he is used to calling it, and he can't change it.

Chen Erwan felt revengeful: "Doudo Erdou Erdou Erdou Erdou! Does it sound good!"

"puff!"

Hearing this, both Wang Yihua and Pei couldn't help laughing.

Chen Erxi wanted to save face, so she immediately ended the topic: "Okay, okay, let's eat!"

Downstairs is the exhibition hall of the gallery. This room was originally a redundant grocery room. Later, Chen Erxi converted it into a studio. Unexpectedly, this stone table was used to cook hot pot before it could produce any works of art. up.

The bottom of the pot that was glowing red was constantly tumbling, which added a bit of popularity to the new house.

Chen Erwan asked while ordering the beef: "Brother Pei, why did you ask me for Senior Kevin's contact information last time? Does your company cooperate with him? Could it be someone giving a gift?"

Pei Ye's hand holding the meat stopped in the air, and he didn't know how to explain it for a moment.

Wang Yihua saw through everything and said: "Hmph, there is a story between them! Don't ask, wait for him to recruit himself."

"What what? Story?"

Chen Erwan's eyeballs rolled back and forth.

Wang Yihua said: "Yes, there is a story. But I dare not talk nonsense."

Chen Erxi didn't understand: "Who are you talking about?"

Wang Yihua acted as an interpreter again: "Just that Kevin, I remember you also know each other, and I saw your group photo last time."

"What group photo?"

"Picture?"

Pei Ye and Chen Erxi asked in unison.

"That's right." Wang Yihua pointed to the opposite side, "Last time, in your office, I took Xi Ge's cell phone and saw a group photo. I thought it looked familiar at the time, but then I remembered it when I saw him."

"Oh——" Chen Erxi finally remembered after he reminded him, "The Zhou Ze you mentioned, he is my master's friend. I heard that he has been abroad for the past few years. Why, do you know each other?"

Wang Yihua looked at Pei Ye's expression, and tentatively said, "You know...?"

Chen Erwan took it for granted: "He is my senior's friend, of course I know him."

When it was Pei Ye's turn, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "I know."

When it came to the people they knew together, the conversation started naturally, but among the four people, the one who was most familiar with Zhou Ze turned out to be Chen Erxi.

All his understanding of Zhou Ze comes from his master.

However, the younger generation in the eyes of the elders is mostly a general impression.

In his master's words, Zhou Ze, a young man, looks dull and doesn't like to talk much. He has a rare calm personality. He is also very talented in sculpture and willing to study.

In terms of life, I only know that he and his mother have been living abroad. There seems to be a specific reason, but since it is a private matter, it is inconvenient for outsiders to ask more questions. What's more, this child's personality is too cold and lonely. In his master's words, " honest".

However, breaking away from the filter of the elders, Chen Erxi's evaluation of Zhou Ze was not that good.

"...how should I put it, he's actually not easy to get along with, he feels a bit arrogant, of course, those who play art are a bit lofty." Chen Erxi's voice paused, "But he's different, really He doesn't look down on anyone but himself."

In the short description, Pei also seemed to see the person he saw in the crowd at first sight that night.

Quite different indeed.

He has seen that outstanding, hard-working young man who is extremely popular among his peers, elders, and younger generations; he has also seen his rebellious and gentle soul under his youthful appearance, even if he holds thorns in his hand, It's just wrapped around the surface of the body in circles, protecting itself while hurting itself.

But he has never seen Zhou Ze who "doesn't take anyone seriously".

Chen Erxi sent the group photo to Pei Ye.

At first glance, he almost missed the person on the far side.

Pei could also imagine Zhou Ze being surrounded by people, but he couldn't imagine Zhou Ze being left in a corner.

It shouldn't be like this.

"Then he is also very good." Chen Erwan argued, "The senior studied at a pheasant university in the UK. Although it is for the purpose of obtaining a diploma, he has never had the bad habits of those foreign students. I heard that he never He is not absent from work, other than that, he shuts himself in the studio all year round. He has been alone since he was an unknown person until he returned to China for an exhibition. Qinggao, not to mention, he is handsome!"

Chen Erxi complained silently: "... Your last sentence is the key point, right?"

"That's not it...!" Chen Erwan poked the seasoning bowl in front of him, "Brother Pei, how did you know the senior?"

"Us?" Pei was also in a daze, "We are classmates in high school."

Chen Erwan exclaimed: "It's been a long time! What kind of person was the senior?"

"He...is a very, very good person, and indeed... quite likable."

Pei also couldn't think of any appropriate words to describe this person, nothing was suitable, nothing was worthy of him.

Rather than describing it in words, he wanted these people to see it with their own eyes.Look at that seventeen or eighteen-year-old Zhou Ze, fresh and bright, the best in the world.

No one will not like it.

Wang Yihua is more discerning than the two Chen family siblings. If he still doesn't see any tricks, he may have lived 25 years in vain.

Although Pei also probably didn't want to talk about it, he was still driven by his own curiosity to inquire about the "secret" desperately.

"Brother Pei, in fact, you and him are more than just old classmates, right? The desktop of your private mobile phone is still someone's photo."

Pei also took a sip of the white wine, and it warmed up from his throat to his stomach.He stared at the foam rising from the surface of the hot pot, and his stomach suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"He's my ex-boyfriend."
