desolate

The New Year's Day holiday was very short, and Pei deliberately took two extra days off, planning to take a stroll with Zhou Ze.

In the past few years when he was away, the country has changed a lot. Seoul has been squeezed into the first-tier cities, and everything has a new look. The place surrounded by baffles for many years has become a new landmark building. Zhou Ze tried to think of this place six years ago, but It was found that they had long since disappeared over a long period of time.

It was planned that they would play for two days, but they had no dating experience. They could watch a movie before, but now they would rather spend these two hours feeding pigeons in the square.So after wandering around, Zhou Ze followed Pei Ye to their company.

As a research and development company, almost all of their work focuses on the development team, and the headquarters in the city center is a bit like a temporary team.Pei Ye is mainly in charge of the marketing department, and Wang Yihua is his deputy. He has been on vacation for the past two days, and he suddenly appeared in the company at this time, which is a bit out of date.

The company is located in an office building, and they rented several floors of it as offices.Pei also only took Zhou Ze around his department.

It was as if a wild beast was patrolling its own territory. The familiar environment would make people lower their guard unconsciously. It was rare for him to show a different version of himself in front of Zhou Ze.

——He has stagnated in recent years, his age and experience have made him more confident and stable, and he is too good to be ignored.

Realizing this, Zhou Ze was very relieved.Because Ma Wenjing always said that what he did was wrong.It is said that he could pull Pei Ye at that time, but he can't pull him for a lifetime after that, right?Every time he mentioned this, Zhou Ze wanted to refute but was always silent in the end.

Perhaps at that time, he was also afraid that he would be persuaded, but it turned out that this person would climb out of the bottom of the valley by himself, no matter whether there was external force or not.

The only regret is that he was not able to witness this process.

"What are you thinking about?"

Noticing that he was in a daze, Pei Ye gently put down the brewed coffee.

"It's nothing." Zhou Ze came back to his senses, looked at the cup on the table, the crooked latte art on the coffee looked like a dog, "...Did you make this?"

"Hmm... It's also the first time I use it. How about asking my colleagues to teach me how to draw hearts?" Pei also looked at him expectantly.

"Oh, love..." Zhou Ze took a sip and boasted against his will, "It tastes good, you can go to open a shop."

"Then it's time to buy one at home."

"Brother Pei..."

Wang Yihua didn't know where he heard that Pei Ye had come to the company, so he ran over immediately.But I didn't expect to see two people whispering to a cup of coffee as soon as they entered the office.

"Pei...yo, Brother Zhou is here too! How about some coffee?" He greeted him, and suddenly pulled Pei Ye, "Then what, Brother Zhou, this guy will lend me a few minutes, and I'll return it later for you."

Pei was also pulled out of the office without any time to react.

The voice came back from afar——

"Brother, I'm on vacation!"

"What kind of vacation is it, just to show you a plan..."

"..."

As soon as Pei Ye left, Zhou Ze became idle. After walking around the office twice aimlessly, he sat down at the desk.

The desktop is very clean, it looks like it has been cleaned up, and the files are neatly stacked on the shelf.Not long after he sat down, a fat man wearing glasses came in with a box of fruit.

"Hi, I'm Brother Pei's assistant, you can just call me Xiao Liu..." Xiao Liu diligently took away the empty cup and put the fruit plate on the table. Chose turned around, "Oh... Brother Pei asked me to send it here specially!"

The word "specially" was accentuated, as if afraid that others would not know.

Zhou Ze simply thanked him.

Xiao Liu rubbed his hands on his pants and asked, "Brother Zhou, do you want to go shopping elsewhere? There is an entertainment area upstairs where you can play games."

Zhou Ze became a little interested: "Okay, is it convenient?"

Xiao Liu said courteously: "Of course it's convenient, you come with me!"

It was lunch break time, and there were quite a few people in the rest area, most of them were very interested in Zhou Ze because of his appearance and his identity.

But they didn't go up to interrupt rashly, but waited for Zhou Ze to leave, and surrounded the outsider Xiao Liu.

Some people are curious about the authenticity of this news——

"That, that...is he really Boss Pei's boyfriend?"

Some people are curious about their private lives——

"Hey, do you want to bet on which of the two of them will go up and who will go down?"

Of course, there are those who care about the company——

"Are you saying that the proprietress came to the company to inspect the work? Will the management be airborne?"

Xiao Liu was stuck in a corner, faltering.

——Dare he talk nonsense about the boss?

At this moment, the glass door of the game room was suddenly pushed open, and Zhou Ze walked out with his mobile phone.Ever since, the employees scattered with great insight.

Xiao Liu looked at Zhou Ze carefully, worried that what they just said would make him unhappy.

But the fact is that the other party didn't even lift their eyelids.

It's not that Zhou Ze didn't hear their conversation, it's just that there are more important things to deal with than those.He walked to the window where no one was there, and the green plants scratched the lines on his palms.

As soon as the phone was connected, Zhou Ze's expression turned serious.

"...Hello, Mom."

"Xiao Ze, when do you plan to come back?"

Six years ago, Ma Wenjing shifted almost all of her work to foreign countries for the sake of choice. Although the two spent more time together, their relationship did not get better—of course, it didn’t get worse, but it just kept going. A not-so-close distance.

As she gets older, she occasionally envies other people's happy and harmonious families, but when she returns to herself, she finds it difficult to even tell her son what's on her mind.

But all of this is the result of her own choice, and she has no one to blame.

Zhou Ze said: "...I don't want to go back."

"It was agreed before that I will resign from the research institute in a few years and go back to China together. You can sneak back and don't even bring medicine with you." Ma Wenjing was not surprised by his answer, so his tone was very calm, but there was some blame in the words.

"The doctor said that my illness is already cured, and I have been off the medicine for a while. If I don't take it, I might be able to stop it completely." Zhou Ze explained.

"The doctor clearly said that although it has stabilized, there is still a possibility of the disease, and the medicine has to be stopped gradually..." Ma Wenjing gradually became helpless, and then compromised, "Forget it, if you don't want to, then let you go, I'm just a little worried about you one person."

"Mom, I'm not alone... Do you still remember Pei Ye?" Zhou Ze's tone suddenly lightened a little, "He has been in Seoul all this time, we have reconciled, if you don't believe me, you can come and see him when you return home .”

Hearing this unfamiliar name, Ma Wenjing was stunned for a few seconds before realizing: "Oh, that child from Pingjiang? Have you met?"

Zhou Ze hummed and said, "I'm staying at his house now."

After six years, Ma Wenjing has slowly accepted her son's sexual orientation no matter what.

But to accept is to accept, and to be worried is to be worried.

Ma Wenjing subconsciously expressed her hesitation: "Then does he know about your illness? And at that time you indirectly..."

"I don't know, he doesn't need to know." Zhou Ze said anxiously, "Those are all things in the past, there is no need to mention them, and you don't need to tell him."

He deliberately reminded him again: "I really don't want him to know."

"...Well, listen to you."

Like compensation, now she treats this son with compromises.

After that, the two sides were silent for a few seconds, and then they both chose to end the call.

"Brother Zhou..."

When Xiao Liu saw him finish talking on the phone, he hurried up to greet him.

Zhou Ze's expression was still serious: "What's wrong?"

"Our company's atmosphere is like this. Boss Pei is used to quarreling with them, and his words are inappropriate. Don't mind." Xiao Liu thought about it in his heart, and planned to explain.

Zhou Ze said with a good temper: "It's okay, I don't mind."

Estimating the time, Pei Ye's affairs should be over, so Zhou Ze planned to return to his office, but as soon as he turned around, he saw the person in his mind appearing at the elevator door.

——In broad daylight, the world is bright and clear, hugging each other, how decent it is.

Fortunately, the other employees had already finished their lunch break, so the two of them would not be surrounded by people.Xiao Liu complained in his heart, while maintaining the state of an invisible person, and silently escaped from the side.

"Are you done?"

"Well, I heard that you came up, so I just came to see it, how about it? Is it fun?"

"not bad."

While waiting for the elevator, Zhou Ze grabbed his fingers and suddenly said thoughtfully, "I want to tell you something, my mother just called me."

Speaking of their separation at the beginning, Ma Wenjing was part of the reason, and Pei couldn't say he hated her, but there was always some psychological shadow. It seemed that Zhou Ze would leave as soon as she appeared.

So even Pei Ye didn't notice that his expression was a bit unnaturally dignified at this time.

"She will come back to China after the next year and wants to meet you."

"…see me?"

Zhou Ze deliberately teased him: "Yes, are you afraid?"

Pei Ye didn't start: "What am I afraid of? If your mother doesn't like me, I won't like it. Can you still run away?"

"That might be..."

Pei also hissed, obviously annoyed by him, as soon as the elevator door opened, he dragged the other person in, and then pressed the person in the corner without any explanation, leaned over and kissed him.

After a while, he reluctantly let go.

Pei also asked: "...Are you still running?"

Zhou Ze's back was itchy from the kiss, his head was raised high in discomfort, and he could hardly stand up, so he had to beg for mercy.

Pei Ye sighed softly, and murmured in a discussing tone.

Zhou Ze didn't hear clearly at first, but after a few seconds, he slowly realized what Pei Ye said.

——I can wait for you, but six years is too long.

So long that everyone feels sorry.

"..."

Hearing his words, Zhou Ze grabbed his palm subconsciously, and an indescribable feeling suddenly blocked his chest.

At this moment, the elevator door suddenly opened, and a group of strangers stood at the door, and the lively voices fell silent instantly.

"...Hi Boss Pei!" Those who respond quickly will immediately take it easy and stop the others, "We have too many people, Boss Pei, you go first."

"We..." is not what you think.

There is never enough time to explain.

As the elevator doors closed automatically, the two people in the corner finally separated unnaturally.

awkward.

Just as I was about to say something, the elevator door opened automatically again.

"..."

"..."

Still those people.If you look carefully, the gossiping smiles on their faces didn't disappear in time.

In order to prevent the situation just now from happening again, this time Pei Ye rushed in front of them and said, "You all come in."

"It's not good..."

"Enter!"

With an order, the crowd poured in like a flood, and the elevator was filled to the brim in an instant. Amidst the pushing and shoving of these people, Pei also had to stretch out his hand to protect Zhou Ze.

At about the same time, extremely deliberate coughing sounded one after another.

Fortunately, the elevator finally started to descend.

When it docked again, the extra "light bulbs" were gone, and an employee standing near the door finally couldn't help breaking the eerie silence.

"That... Mr. Pei... which floor do you go to?"

"...First floor."

This company can't stay any longer, so go home now.

The staff kindly helped press the elevator, and finally did not forget their duties: "Mr. Pei, the front desk asked me to tell you that a brother who called himself Mr. Zhou called the front desk...but since you...don't bother! "

The elevator door closed slowly, but the voice of discussion did not stop.

"Let's go!"

"Boss Pei is too intense, the kiss broke."

"Which of you bet on Mr. Pei before? You lost, hahaha! Bring the money!"

"what……!"

Pei Ye: I heard that I am 0?
