lightly cooked

Xu Shuyuan received countless couriers in the following week.

Fu Jia didn't know where he came up with so many things to buy, and they were delivered in large and small cardboard boxes every day, but he himself only came to live occasionally.Thinking about it, the family is in the local area, and he is an only child. How could his parents agree to him moving out?

Fortunately, there are still opportunities to meet.

Recently, it is the peak period for publishing annual reports, and all colleagues in the firm are in a state of war readiness.As a manager, Xu Shuyuan has the duty to sign the annual report, so he has to be aware of any problems, so he has been running on overload during this period.

Although Fu Jia is still a newcomer in the project team, he still has to advance and retreat with everyone. Staying up late is already commonplace.

The day before the report was presented to the partners for review, the whole group almost spent the night in the company.When Fu Jia left the company at three o'clock in the morning, his legs were shaking, thinking, driving home like this might be a dead end.So he turned around to Xu Shuyuan's house and opened the door with his own key.

It was pitch black inside.

Regardless of whether there is anyone at home, he fell headlong on the bed after brushing his teeth.

tired……

I have never been so sleepy before, my eyes are blurry due to sleepiness, and my body has turned into a soft dough, which can be pulled and pinched at any time.

As soon as I lay down, I felt cold hands and feet, so I had to struggle to get up and open the little sun. After 10 minutes, I felt warmer, stretched my limbs, and fell into a deep sleep.

If there is another life, I don't want to do auditing again...

This thought turned and turned in his head, his chest felt heavy, he could smell a faint burning smell in his nose, and it seemed that someone whispered his name in his ear: "Fu Jia?"

It wasn't until he was wrapped in a quilt and lifted up that his body flew into the air, that his eyelids barely opened.

"Sleeping so dead?"

Fu Jia was dull for two seconds, then suddenly woke up.

There was bright moonlight outside the living room, and the surroundings were silent, and he was being carried by Xu Shuyuan.

Xu Shuyuan pushed open the door and put the person on his bed: "Squeeze with me tonight, you put the heater too close and almost burned the sheets."

No wonder I smelled the smell, it was not a dream.Fu Jia was tired and scared, and kept saying it was dangerous.

"How did you find out?"

"I just have bad ears, not a bad nose." Xu Shuyuan glanced at him.

"...Well, I'm so sleepy that my brain short-circuits." Fu Jia slipped into the quilt like a fish, and flipped to the side, touching the bottom of the wall, leaving most of the space for others.

Xu Shuyuan also lay on the bed, and there was a distance between them.

It's strange, suddenly I'm not sleepy again, and I'm very energetic.Fu Jia turned to look at Xu Shuyuan. He turned his back to him and faced the window with his shoulders erect.

"Shuhara, are you asleep?"

Xu Shuyuan didn't give face: "I was woken up by you."

"Who told you to have such a good nose, you can't blame me." Fu Jia chuckled, "What time did you come back tonight?"

"Two o'clock."

"Oh, that's earlier than me. We will release the report at the end of March, and the client has agreed with the boss that it can't be later. What about you?"

The answer was somewhat perfunctory: "Middle of April."

"It's so late." Fu Jia turned his mind, "Then you will be very busy in the last few weeks."

Xu Shuyuan knew him well, and raised his eyelids: "What's the matter?"

"My birthday is in a few days, Ding Xu and the others said to help me celebrate, can you come?"

After asking this question, Fu Jia felt that he would definitely agree, after all, it was his birthday.He had forgotten to celebrate Xu Shuyuan's birthday back then.Xu Shuyuan paused, not very interested: "Depending on the situation, I may not be able to leave for a few days."

"Okay." Fu Jia was a little disappointed.

I didn't hear Xu Shuyuan speak again, I don't know if he fell asleep.Fu Jia waited, staring at his back absentmindedly, and after staring for a while, sleepiness gradually struck.

Hearing that the breathing behind him became even, Xu Shuyuan turned over.

The rented house was very simple, and there were several holes in the mattress from the previous tenant's cigarette burns.But there are more people around, it seems that life has become less bad, and the atmosphere has become lighter.

So should I not remember the past?Fu Jia is still willing to stay by his side, so why should he pursue it.

Seeing the peaceful sleeping face beside him, Xu Shuyuan's heart softened for a moment, and he wanted to do something, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Although he is not a gentleman, he can't do anything forced.Fu Jia didn't want him to know.

During those days in college, the two often said good night to each other. Occasionally he forgot, Fu Jia reminded him: "I have already closed one eye, and when you say good night to me, I will close the other."

At that time, I mistakenly thought that the other party was a girl, and it is normal for girls to pay attention to the sense of ritual.It was only later that Fu Jia learned these words from the Internet, and deliberately hung him up.

He didn't blame anyone for the passage of time, he just felt that there was no need to recall those past times.

The night passed indistinctly.

Going to work at noon the next day, Xu Shuyuan took a ride with Fu Jia.He was about to get off one intersection away from the company, Fu Jia was a little surprised: "It hasn't arrived yet."

"I know," Xu Shuyuan raised his chin, "there are too many people in front of me, so I will walk over by myself."

He didn't say anything yet, but he cared about it.Fu Jia bit her lower lip, feeling quite complicated.

It was just in time for lunch, and the elevator room was overcrowded.

After he parked the car, Xu Shuyuan hadn't gotten up yet, and there were two people from the Sixth Division standing beside him, who had just arrived after staying up all night.Fu Jia pretended to say hello: "Good morning, Manager Xu."

A burly older brother next to him laughed: "Is it early? It's not early."

After taking a closer look, I realized that it was the person who drove them to the hospital that day, but I didn't know his name.Xu Shuyuan introduced: "Wang Songjian, the manager of the sixth department."

"Hello, Manager Wang." The elevator came, and Fu Jia stepped aside, "You guys go up first, I'm not in a hurry."

Before closing the door, Wang Songjian waved his hands and said "bye" with a smile, while Xu Shuyuan held his briefcase and remained silent.

When the door was closed, Wang Songjian turned his head and asked, "Shuyuan, is this your junior?"

"The same year."

He nodded, feeling strange: "I haven't seen you guys deal with each other very often, aren't you familiar?"

"see once."

"It's just the broken bone, right?"

Xu Shuyuan didn't talk any more, and returned to the department to start working.

During dinner time, Fu Jia was too lazy to go downstairs, so she bought a Subway and went to the tea room to have a bite.There are already people inside, one of them is Cara, the secretary of the fourth department, and the other is a face-to-face student.

"Just eat this." Cara asked.

He smiled: "Xiaoou wants to eat this, let me bring it for her, I just pass by."

"You are really nice."

She pushed the lunch box in front of him: "Do you want some octopus? Wenwen fried it herself, it's delicious." After speaking, she pointed to the capable beauty next to her.

It smelled really good, Fu Jia didn't resist the temptation, and after a few words of refusal, he took two yuan.

Being short-tempered, he lavishly praised the beauty, making her smile brightly: "If you like it, I'll make it for you next time. You're welcome."

I added WeChat politely, and I got to know each other.

It turns out that the beautiful woman is Tan Wenwen, and she is the secretary of Mr. Duan, the boss of Six Departments.

The position of the partner secretary in the firm is much higher than that of the administrative secretary, as can be seen from the way Cara and Tan Wenwen get along.Although the two of them are on good terms, the topics they talk about basically revolve around the latter, and Cara's own affairs are rarely mentioned.

Halfway through the chat, Cara said, "Xiao Jia, I remember you knew Manager Xu."

Few people mentioned Xu Shuyuan in front of Fu Jia, but everyone in the fourth department knew that they were alumni, not to mention that Xu Shuyuan was still helping him in the department before.

"I know you." He didn't avoid suspicion, "It's quite familiar."

"Then you must know if Xiaoou is his girlfriend."

Fu Jia was stunned.

Tan Wenwen patted Cara, and Cara smiled and said, "What's the matter, it's good for everyone to ask clearly."

"Not as far as I know." He returned to his senses and shook his head.

"Look, I'll just say no. Xiaoou told me that she doesn't want to find a boyfriend for the time being."

When it comes to this point, Fu Jia will grow up in vain if he doesn't understand, but he still pretends not to understand. Cara went on to ask: "Manager Xu doesn't have any other girlfriends, does he?"

After speaking, both of them laughed, because they thought the question was funny, Fu Jia also smiled: "It seems not."

"That's all right." Cara made a final decision, pouting at Tan Wenwen, "You go."

Tan Wenwen is so pretty, she can tell at a glance that there is no shortage of suitors, and she must really like it that her friends can actively advise her.

On the way back to the department, Fu Jia was thinking in her heart, how would Xu Shuyuan refuse her pursuit?

With his character, he should politely decline, but his attitude must be firm.Fu Jia has this confidence, he thinks he knows Xu Shuyuan very well.

This incident was over, and it didn't leave too much impression on Fu Jia.

In the blink of an eye, it was Friday, and he mentioned the birthday celebration on Sunday night, and the address was at a certain KTV.Xu Shuyuan said that he did not have time, so he would not participate in the event, but gifts would be given.

"Who cares?"

Fu Jia said so, but he was still looking forward to it in his heart.

That night, a group of people booked the largest private room. The wine was ordered to a full table, and the venue was specially decorated. The ceiling and the background wall were full of balloons and ribbons.Ding Xu, Luo Jun, and Ping Yanyan were all here, as well as several other old friends.

When ordering songs, I asked plainly, "Is Xiao Xu coming?"

"He's working overtime and can't come."

Fu Jia looked down at her phone, there were a lot of birthday wishes, mainly from her classmates.He casually asked Xu Shuyuan: "When will you finish your work? Sister Yan just asked about you."

Xu Shuyuan didn't reply after a long time, wondering if he had no time to clone.

After singing a few songs, Fu Jia lost interest. At his age, celebrating his birthday is really not interesting.Ding Xu, a heartless person, drank a lot, and even jumped on the table after drinking, Luo Jun couldn't hold back.

"Jiajia! Let me sing for you a song "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots!"

Hearing him crying and howling, Fu Jia hurriedly covered his ears, and Luo Jun took a lot of effort to remove his microphone. Afterwards, he was so tired that he drank several sips of water, and panted on the sofa: "Grandpa really lost to you today." This grandson."

There was still no movement until 10:30, so Fu Jia became anxious, so he called Xu Shuyuan.

It rang a dozen times, but no one answered.

Ping Yan said: "Be busy, call later."

I called again within 5 minutes, but this time Xu Shuyuan hung up directly.

What's happening here?

Fu Jia simply sent a text: "What are you busy with, can't answer the phone? If you don't come, it will be past 12 o'clock."

Xu Shuyuan replied, but very briefly: "Right away."

Fu Jia read out the perfunctory, a little unhappy.

Sitting by the karaoke stand, he sang a few more songs, and glanced at his phone from time to time. At 11 o'clock, he finally received a new message: "Leaving."

The mood turned gloomy.

Ping Yanyan wanted to sing a duet with him, and he patted the microphone with a smile: "Hey."

"What are you doing?" Ding Xu was already drunk and yelled loudly.

Fu Jia said: "I have a friend who will come over later, that is Xu Shuyuan. Sister Yan and the others know each other. He is not very hard of hearing. Please sing a little softer when the time comes. Thank you for your cooperation." He pointed to his friends, "especially You, Ding Xu! Remember it?"

Ding Xu gave him a sidelong glance, and didn't bother to answer him.

After he finished speaking, he sat back and scrolled through Moments, froze for a few seconds while scrolling, then opened a certain picture in disbelief, zoomed in, and stared closely.

Ping Yanyan picked up the fruit plate and asked, "Do you want to eat fruit?"

He didn't respond.

Ping Yanyan lowered his head and glanced: "Your colleague?"

On the phone is a photo, sent by Tan Wenwen, a group photo of a dozen people in a high-end hotel.Tan Wenwen stood in the middle with flowers in her hands. There were men and women on both sides, Mr. Duan from the sixth part was also listed, and Xu Shuyuan was next to him.

"Xiao Xu is more handsome than a star in such a dress."

"Handsome?" Fu Jia lowered her head, her tone became cold in an instant.

"Handsome." Ping Yanyan looked at him, "What's wrong with you, why do you feel a little unhappy."

Fu Jia got up and walked out. When the box door was closed, there was a bang, and she stopped a few meters away——

How could he not be handsome?Those were the clothes I bought for Xu Shuyuan.
