I regret after the divorce

Because of Qu Chuyin's presence these few days, Qu Maoxing specially asked for leave to accompany her.

Every day after Qu Chuyin finished the meeting, he drove her around and checked in various scenic spots.

He was relieved, but Meng Sui suffered.

Most of the work was temporarily taken over by him, and only those who could not leapfrog would call or send documents to Qu Maoxing for processing.

Qu Maoxing felt a little sorry, and promised him to invite him to dinner after Qu Chuyin left.

After hearing this, Meng Sui just said: "It's okay, my sister comes here once in a while, so you can spend more time with her."

Qu Maoxing was silent on the phone for a long time, and finally only said, "...Thank you."

Xie Qu Maoxing said this sincerely.

Meng Sui smiled when he heard the words, and the laughter came through the microphone, as if hitting his ear, and he could almost feel his breathing.

He said, "You're still being polite to me?"

After hanging up the phone, Qu Maoxing turned around and saw Qu Chuyin looking at him jokingly, and asked curiously, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Qu Mao walked over and sat down beside her, patted her on the head, and replied, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's you, Brother Meng Sui."

Qu Chuyin let out an "oh", picked up the apple on the table and started to nibble, just after taking a bite, she suddenly thought of something and looked at him seriously.

"What's the matter?" Qu Maoxing picked up a book and opened it, and asked unhurriedly.

Qu Chuyin pondered for a moment, and then said seriously: "Brother, haven't you considered Brother Meng Sui?"

When Qu Maoxing heard this, he was about to pat her with the book in his hand. Qu Chuyin jumped up immediately when he saw it, and ran far away before continuing: "What are you in a hurry? I'm telling the truth. It's interesting to you, don't tell me you can't see it at all."

Qu Maoxing stopped holding the book for a moment, something flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure, ignored her, and looked down at the book.

"We are friends, talk nonsense and get out."

Qu Chuyin curled her lips and fell silent.

In the evening, Qu Maoxing came out of the shower, warmed up a cup of milk and wanted to send it to Qu Chuyin, but when he opened the door, he found that she had fallen asleep, so he withdrew and decided to drink it by himself.

He went back to the room, sat down by the bed, drank milk silently, but somehow remembered what Qu Chuyin said.

In fact, what Qu Chuyin said was right, why couldn't he see it at all?

Meng Sui was actually older than him, and turned out to be one of Yan Zhu's assistants.

When he joined the company, he didn't understand anything, so Yan Zhu gave Meng Sui to him and asked him to be his assistant.

He is an assistant in name, but in fact he is more like a master, bringing him a little bit of familiarity.

Later, even though he was able to take charge of his own affairs, Yan Zhu never wanted Meng Sui back.

Qu Maoxing thought he would leave.

After all, Yanzhu's place must have better development than his place, and Meng Sui didn't like him very much at first.

At that time, Qu Maoxing didn't know that he got Yan's olive branch because of Yan Qin, and thought he was lucky.

But the people around are well aware of this.

Therefore, everyone is superficially polite and despises him secretly.

Of course, Meng Sui was different from them.

He has always put his dislike for him on the surface, never behind his back.

Qu Maoxing didn't know where he had offended him, so he was always cautious at the beginning.

But his politeness never changed Meng Sui's face, so he gave up altogether and only tried his best to do his job well.

Probably excellent people can go anywhere. Qu Maoxing adapted quickly to this job. He won several big projects within less than a year after joining the company.

Yan Zhu felt that he was indeed a talent to make, so he handed over the R&D department to him.

Qu Maoxing was overjoyed, and specially booked a hotel before transferring to another department, and wanted to treat everyone to a meal.

However, he sat in the private room and waited for a long time that night, but no one came.

The waiter came in a few times and asked when his food was coming.

Qu Maoxing looked up at the watch on the wall, and finally when the pointer was pointing to eight, he replied, "Let's serve."

Soon, waiters came in in turn, setting up a table full of dishes.

Qu Maoxing looked at the empty private room and wondered why no one came?

He sat there in a daze for a long time, until the food in front of him was cold, then picked up the chopsticks and started eating slowly.

However, before taking a few bites, he heard a sudden knock at the door.

He thought it was a waiter, so he didn't look up, but he didn't expect the person who came to him to walk up to him, and then he pulled out the chair and sat down.

Qu Maoxing raised his head, and saw Meng Sui sitting next to him, looking at him quietly.

"you……"

Before Qu Maoxing could finish his sentence, Meng Sui pushed a small box over.

Qu Maoxing was stunned, "This is?"

"Gifts, you can't come empty-handed." Meng Sui said.

Qu Maoxing was stunned for a moment, then reached out to take it, and thanked him.

Meng Sui didn't even look at him, just picked up his chopsticks and said, "No thanks, I'll eat first, I'm hungry."

"Let's eat, let's eat." Qu Maoxing said repeatedly, his tone swept away the frustration just now, and he became cheerful.

Although the two have worked together for so long, the relationship is still not close, so they don't talk much during a meal, and they are eating seriously.

It wasn't until almost the end of the meal that Meng Sui suddenly said, "Don't feel sorry for unnecessary people."

Qu Maoxing naturally knew what he was talking about, and smiled wryly, "I just think that everyone gets along very well on weekdays, but I didn't expect..."

After hearing this, Meng Sui suddenly smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Qu Maoxing asked.

"I thought you were playing stupid with me before, but I didn't expect to see it wrong. You are really stupid."

Qu Maoxing: "..."

Meng Sui didn't care about his attitude, poured a cup of tea into his own cup, and continued: "You have such a high position and such a good treatment since you joined the company, won't others complain? I respect you three points, I gave the face of Mr. Yan and the second son, not because of you. Now that you are transferred, everyone will be irrelevant in the future, so I don’t bother to do this."

Qu Maoxing frowned, "Second Young Master?"

"You don't know?" Meng Sui didn't have any particularly surprised expression on his face, "The second son of the Yan family, Yan Qin, is your elementary school brother."

As soon as Meng Sui finished speaking, his face turned pale a little bit.

"You..." Meng Sui sighed and swallowed back his words.

After dinner, Meng Sui drove Qu Maoxing back, comforting him for the first time on the way.

"You are just here, and your foundation is still shallow. After two years, no one will be short of your seat."

Qu Maoxing was looking sideways at the scenery outside the window, and turned his head when he heard the words, "Then why did you come today?"

Meng Sui was driving, and was looking straight ahead, but after hearing this, his eyes turned slightly, and he glanced at him from the corner of his eye.

"Because..." He didn't know what to think of, and smiled.

"I think you're not bad."

Since then, the relationship between the two has become closer unconsciously.

We work together during the day and drink occasionally at night.

Qu Maoxing was no longer afraid of him as before, and gradually regarded him as a friend in his heart.

The two got along like this for many years.

In fact, how could you not know?

After all, the way Meng Sui looked at him, he had looked at others before.

But the bottom of his heart was already occupied by Yan Qin, and he couldn't fill it anymore.

Until later, Yan Qin completely rejected him.

Qu Maoxing thought, it's time to let go.

The continuation of this years of wishful thinking is obsession.

He has to break.

So he took over the transfer order from the overseas branch that Yan Zhu wanted to send to him a long time ago.

The next night, he went to the food stall he used to go to when he was in college and got very drunk.

Surrounded by young students, they are full of youth and vigor.

It made Qu Maoxing think of himself in college.

At that time, why wasn't he like this, he felt that the world was right in front of him, and everything was at his fingertips.

As long as he works hard, nothing is impossible.

But the more I grow up, the more I realize that some things in this world can never be achieved with hard work.

He had been looking forward to it and worked hard.

It's something that others deserve.

He didn't remember how much wine he drank that night, he only vaguely remembered that he seemed to be lying on someone's back.

Someone walked forward with his back on his back and scolded him at the same time.

It's a pity that that person is not very good at swearing, so he just said "stupid" over and over again.

Qu Maoxing wanted to reply that he was really stupid.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, his stomach was overwhelmed, so he quickly closed his mouth for fear of vomiting.

When he woke up the next day, Qu Maoxing found him lying on the bed at Meng Sui's house.

He opened his eyes for a while and then sat up abruptly on the bed.

Then he got out of bed quickly, picked up his clothes and walked out. He wanted to sneak away, but he ran into Meng Sui who was packing his luggage in the living room as soon as he went out.

"Wake up." Meng Sui was very calm.

"En." Qu Maoxing nodded in embarrassment, and froze in place.

"Go and wash up. I bought breakfast and I can eat it after washing up."

"Okay." After Qu Maoxing finished speaking, he forced himself to turn around and went to the bathroom, where he calmed down for a long time.

When he went out, breakfast had been set, and Meng Sui was sitting on a chair waiting for him.

Qu Mao walked over and sat down, embarrassedly said: "You brought me back last night?"

"Well, you drank unconsciously. The owner of the barbecue stall was afraid of accidents, so he took your mobile phone and called me."

"sorry to bother you."

Meng Sui raised his head and glanced at him when he heard the words, "Drink less when you know you're in trouble. You're very happy, and you're not afraid of accidents."

"……Feel sorry."

"Eat quickly."

"Okay." Qu Maoxing picked up a small steamed bun and put it in his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the suitcase beside him and asked, "Are you going on a business trip?"

"Go abroad."

"Huh?" Qu Maoxing was a little confused: "What country did you go to?"

"Overseas branch." Meng Sui raised his head and said unhurriedly, "I applied to be with you."

Hearing this, Qu Maoxing almost dropped the chopsticks in his hands, "Why?"

"Overseas development is more promising..."

"Meng Sui." Qu Maoxing interrupted him, "You tell the truth."

Meng Sui sighed, looked up at him, "I want to follow you, okay?"

The milk in the cup was empty before he knew it, so Qu Maoxing put down the cup in his hand and went to bed.

When I closed my eyes, for some reason, the figure of Meng Sui appeared in my mind.

They seemed to have not seen each other for many days.

Qu Chuyin only stayed for a week before leaving.

Although Qu Maoxing was reluctant, he also knew that he was no longer a child, everyone had their own affairs, and there was no way to delay his schedule for anyone else.

So although he was reluctant, he didn't say much and went to the airport to see her off.

After delivery, he went directly to the company.

As soon as he entered the office, he saw a mountain of documents piled up in front of Meng Sui, busy all the time.

Meng Sui was still a little surprised when he saw him, and asked, "Didn't you ask for leave until tomorrow? Why did you come early?"

Qu Maoxing replied: "Staying at home is also boring."

Meng Sui smiled, walked over and handed him the information, "Take care of your life."

Qu Maoxing took it, sighed and said: "It's natural, there is no way."

There are a lot of things that have piled up in the past few days, and the two of them worked overtime together until eight o'clock.

After work, Qu Maoxing took Meng Sui to treat him.

Meng Sui was also polite, went downstairs with him, and got into his car.

Qu Maoxing asked him what he would like to eat, and Meng Sui thought for a moment before replying, "Hot pot."

Qu Maoxing couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the steering wheel, but his expression remained calm, he turned his head and said, "You don't have to accommodate me."

"Don't be pretentious, I also like hot pot."

Qu Maoxing didn't speak, and it took a long time before he replied, "Okay."

There are also hot pot restaurants here, but there are not many, so Qu Maoxing directly chose one that he had been to before.

Eating hot pot in summer is actually a bit hot, but fortunately, with the great invention of air conditioning, they can enjoy the joy of off-season.

The two sat down, next to the whole floor-to-ceiling windows, the night was getting dark, reflecting the lights of thousands of houses.

I don't know if it's because of Qu Chuyin's departure, or because of the night tonight, Qu Maoxing suddenly felt a long-lost loneliness, like a person walking alone for a long time, and when he turned around, he found that the people around him were passing by in pairs.

It's not envy, it's just a little lonely.

Sensing his emotions, Meng Sui poured him a cup of tea and asked, "What's the matter? Are you homesick?"

Qu Maoxing smiled covertly, "A little bit."

Meng Sui lowered his head and sipped the tea in his cup, and said lightly, "If you miss home, go back."

"What are you talking about?" Qu Maoxing stopped him, "I've only been here for a long time, and since I've accepted the appointment, naturally I can't live up to Mr. Yan's expectations."

"Really?" Meng Sui lowered his eyes, staring at the tea leaves floating up and down in the cup, "I thought you just wanted to avoid him."

Who is he? Although Meng Sui didn't make it clear, the answer is self-evident. Qu Maoxing's face immediately changed when he heard the words.

Just when the atmosphere between them froze, the waiter walked in with the bottom of the pot.

The atmosphere in the room eased for a moment.

The red oil quickly boiled as the temperature rose. Qu Maoxing poured the mutton into it, cooked it for a while, and then said to Meng Sui: "Eat quickly."

Hearing this, Meng Sui raised his chopsticks and dipped them in the sesame sauce in front of him, but he never ate them.

"Why don't you eat?" Qu Maoxing asked.

Then Meng Sui put down his chopsticks and looked up at him. His usually sharp eyes drooped slightly, looking a little sad.

He sighed, and asked Qu Maoxing, "Why can't you think about me?"

Qu Maoxing's hand, which was about to pick up vegetables, just stopped in mid-air, raised his eyes and stared at him blankly, and didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, Meng Sui smiled wryly, "Qu Maoxing, don't tell me that you haven't seen anything for so many years, do you think I follow you even when I go abroad because I admire your work ability?"

Qu Maoxing seemed to be stopped by the question, he put down his chopsticks in embarrassment and dodged, "Aren't we... friends?"

"Friend?" Meng Sui felt like cursing, "Who wants to be your friend?"

Qu Maoxing didn't expect Meng Sui to reveal everything suddenly, which caught him off guard.

The air conditioner in the room was turned on very low, but for some reason, heat rose from his back, so hot that he wanted to escape.

Before he could figure out what to say, Meng Sui got up suddenly, leaned over the edge of the table with both hands, and looked at him half-bent, "I don't want to wait like this for no reason anymore, can you give me an answer?"

Qu Maoxing raised his head and met his eyes.

It seemed that the two were so close for the first time, so close that one could see his long black eyebrows furrowed towards the temples, so close enough to see his pair of sharp eyes like a knife and an axe, and the pupils shrunk inside. Emotions that he didn't understand from time to time.

Qu Maoxing stepped back unconsciously.

His whole body seemed to be placed on a precarious balance beam. If he was not careful, everything would be out of balance.

"Meng Sui." Qu Maoxing pretended to smile calmly, "Let's not talk about that for now."

"When will we be able to say that?"

"You know, I..."

"Yes, I know." Meng Sui took another step forward, "You may not forget him, but you have to try to move forward. Do you want to be trapped in those memories for the rest of your life and close yourself off forever? in the past?"

"It's not fair to you." Qu Maoxing said with downcast eyes.

"I don't care, I never asked you to come out immediately, I just want you to try, try to see me, try to care about me, try to feel that besides Yanqin and me beside you...try fall in love with me."

"Meng Sui..."

"Even if you have to wait for a long time, as long as you are willing to take this step, I am willing to wait, even for a lifetime."

His attitude was too strong, which made Qu Maoxing a little overwhelmed.

This meal was destined to be unfinished, Qu Maoxing stood up avoiding his gaze, took the key and said, "I'm going first."

Seeing this, Meng Sui hurriedly followed him out, and said relentlessly behind him: "Qu Maoxing, do you dare to say that you really don't mean anything to me?"

Qu Maoxing didn't answer, but his pace became more and more urgent.

Seeing this, Meng Sui stopped chasing him, but stopped at the same spot, watching him get into the car.

Qu Maoxing didn't know why he was so guilty. After getting in the car, he didn't even dare to look out the window, so he started the engine just like that.

However, just as he was about to drive away, he suddenly discovered something.

He raised his head abruptly, and then saw that the guard hanging on the rearview mirror of the car disappeared at some point.

Qu Maoxing felt his brain go blank for a moment, and his fingertips couldn't stop shaking. He took a few deep breaths, tried to keep himself calm, and then immediately bent over to search.

Probably because his car had been parked for too long, Meng Sui sensed something was wrong, walked over and opened the car door and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qu Maoxing straightened up when he heard the voice, and then he grasped his arm and asked, "Did you see the guard hanging here?"

When Meng Sui heard the words, his tone immediately dropped, and he replied flatly, "No."

When Qu Maoxing heard this, he didn't continue to question him, and let go of his hand and continued to search.

He searched every nook and cranny in the car, but no matter how hard he searched, there was no sign of Yushou.

It was obvious that the air was scorching hot all around, but Qu Maoxing felt as if his whole body was submerged in the sea, and if the sea came up, he could drown him at any time.

And that guardian is his only savior.

Although he knew it was impossible, he got out of the car and searched along the way they came.

It was midsummer at this time, and even though the sun had set, the heat outside was still there.

After a while, the shirt on Qu Maoxing's back was soaked with sweat and stuck to his back limply.

Meng Sui neither helped him find it nor left, but followed him not far or near.

Watching him concentrate on searching the ground little by little, watching him stop from time to time to ask passers-by in English, watching him even scrape away the grass beside the road.

But even though he went back twice, he still couldn't find the guard.

In the end, Qu Maoxing was almost like a wet water man, who just got up from the river and sat dejectedly on the side of the road.

From time to time, someone passed by and looked at him, but he didn't notice it.

In the end, Meng Sui dragged him back to the car and sent him home.

Qu Maoxing always thought of that day when he couldn't sleep.

Meng Sui took care of him that night as usual, and it seemed that everything had not been exposed, and they could still be as close as before.

However, Meng Sui never said a word to him that night.
