Cohabitation Guide

The projection screen was still black, and the dialogue was stuck for a moment, then switched away and continued to play.

"Merry Christmas." Shu Yi heard his younger self say.

"Let's have fun together." Yu Pei in the audio said in low spirits, "Why is it so late today?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Shu Yi, who just graduated, said with a smile, "Go to see the fireworks. Our side will set off fireworks by the river every Christmas Eve. It's so beautiful."

"with whom?"

"Look for yourself, who do I want to be with."

"with who?"

"Hmm... how are you?" Shu Yi smiled. At this period, he is still not proficient in seductive skills. He should be in a state where he tried bravely but the results were not good. I have a good impression of him, so it's not a big problem.

Sure enough, this question silenced Yu Peidu, who was playing with him, the mouse and keyboard sounded, and he said after a while: "Yes."

Shu Yi laughed when he heard his own audio, looking very happy, and quickly continued: "When I was a child, my family would put presents under the Christmas tree. My mother mixed foam and real gifts, and my brother and I would rush to open them. , It's very interesting. Sometimes I think, if I have a one-in-a-thousand chance to propose marriage in the future, it would be good to choose Christmas, put the ring in the gift pile, and let him take it apart slowly... Isn't it a bit too much?"

"It's okay." Yu Pei paused for a few seconds and said, "It's too much for you to buy a ring."

Shu Yi laughed when he heard this: "I also have the right to yearn for a marriage proposal ceremony! Don't engage in 01 discrimination!"

After laughing, he asked again: "This idea is very creative, you can't think of a more romantic way."

There was another click of the mouse and keyboard, and Yu Pei didn't answer. Shu Yi also naturally moved the topic to the next one. He started talking about the starry sky he saw on the mountain when the company team built it two days ago, and then diverted to the square where the fireworks were watched just now. , where in the center stands a towering Christmas tree, perhaps as tall as a three-story building.

"The star on the top is so big, it feels bigger than my head, and it still shines, and it is more eye-catching than the fireworks. When I look at the fireworks, I am always attracted by the star..."

Yu Pei waited for him to finish speaking and asked, "Do you like stars very much?"

"It's okay, the main thing is that the star is too eye-catching, and it will still shine..."

Off-screen, Shu Yi raised his hand to lightly support his forehead, and smiled helplessly, feeling that he was so bluffing and stupid in the past, but at the same time, he felt that Yu Pei might think that he was cute like this.

He quickly verified this conjecture, because after he finished speaking in the audio, Yu Pei smiled lightly, and said, "Then the stars."

The black screen ended here, and the screen turned back to the movie, and the "Iloveu" woven by spider webs on the bridge lit up.

Shu Yi was caught by the sudden bright light, he squinted his eyes, sat on the sofa for another second and realized something, got up abruptly, and walked to the Christmas tree next to the screen.

The Christmas tree is very tall, even taller than Shu Yi, and the top of the star pokes straight towards the roof.The star was also very big, Yu Pei forced it to the top of the branch, and the top of the tree was slightly bent.

The star was crushed to death, Shu Yi took some effort to pluck it from the top of the tree, and when he pushed hard, he hit a loose spot on the side, and the ordinary star suddenly lit up.Shu held a star with soft white light in his hand, inexplicably thought of his exclaiming tone of "it will be bright" in the audio, a little amused, and unconsciously rolled his eyes.

When he took it off, Shu Yi shook the star a few times, and there were a few jingling sounds inside. It was obvious that there was something, and his heart beat a little faster. He took the star and looked around at the structure.

Shu Yi tried to pull it out, and succeeded after a little effort. The star was indeed hollow. He held the plug in his right hand, lifted the star to be parallel to his line of sight, and squinted to look inside.

Under the light, the shadow of a long cylinder was very obvious. After seeing it, Shu Yi stretched out two fingers and took the object out of it.

The long strip feels between soft and hard, and when you pinch it, it feels like a sponge, and it is indeed a sponge. On the thin white cylinder, a ring is eye-catching.

According to the audio preview, Shu had a pair of rings, which was not very surprising. What surprised him was that the ring was pure black, with no decorations except for the two tiny bald bumps protruding from the top like rabbit ears. , deserted, like a hipster would hang around the neck of the decoration.

It is suitable for daily wear and walking, and people in the workplace will not think much about it when they see it.

Shu Yi thought about taking off the ring, and glanced sideways at the inside. There was a faint "ONE" engraved on it, declaring the identity of the owner of the ring and also swearing sovereignty.

Shu turned the ring around and found no characters, rubbing his hands together suddenly found that the strip had fallen off the paper.

He quickly pinched the long strip of paper that had fallen, spread it out to take a closer look, and was shocked to find that it was actually a check for [-] yuan.

Exactly the amount of money he lent out a few years ago.

Shu Yi was a little confused, so he felt that Yu Pei's personality would not give a check so straightforwardly. He turned the check over and found a line of numbers written in pencil on the back.

Shu Yi was not an agent with a background in cryptography. He stared at the numbers for a second, gave up guessing, and turned to another more important thing.

He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, quickly found Yu Pei's WeChat, and sent him a message of "Is it taking off?", before waiting for a reply, he quickly clicked on the WeChat voice, and made a direct call.

It's not early at this point, according to the normal process, Yu Pei should have already taken off.

The voice was definitely not picked up.

Shu Yi quit WeChat and wanted to call again from the address book without giving up. If he really couldn't get through, he could still check the latest flight ticket. His obsession has never been so strong in his heart, and he must see Yu Pei tonight. Although he didn't even think about what to say and how to say it when they met... But before Shu Yi could move, he heard the door click.

In the relative darkness, Shu Yi was a little slow to react. He turned his head for a while, only to see the light coming in from the corridor, and Yu Pei stood at the door with his luggage behind his back and the light on his back.

He pushed open the door and didn't move, didn't turn on the light, Shu Yi didn't speak, the two were relatively quiet in the darkness, only the glowing stars illuminated the ring, urging them to speak.

"Why are you back?" In the end it was Shu Yi who broke the silence first.

"It's raining and the flight is cancelled."

"Is it raining?" Shu raised his ears, only then did he notice that there was indeed the sound of rain outside the window.

"Yes." Yu Pei said.

Silence again.

Shu Yi hesitated to speak, but the sound of the rain was actually not loud. He wanted to say, this kind of light rain should not affect the takeoff and landing of the plane. Did you really come back because the flight was cancelled?

But he didn't say anything, he just raised his hand and held up the ring, saying, "It's beautiful."

Yu Pei said, "It's fine if you like it."

They talked about the ring, but one didn't say to take it, and the other didn't say to give it away.

The ring is awkwardly in Shu Yi's hand, it's not good to put it on, but it's not good to put it down.

Shu Yi raised his other hand holding the check and said, "There is a string of numbers on the back, I can't read it."

"Bank card password." Yu Pei said, "The card is in the drawer of the room, in the cabinet on the left, under the movie ticket."

This reply is a bit out of scope, Shu paused, and asked in a joking way: "Oh, so...does it mean the breakup fee, [-] is not enough, the bank will pick it up?"

"No." Yu Pei answered quickly, but after finishing the answer, he was silent for a few seconds, and then said, "I used to go back to accompany the operation before, but after I came back, I ran away with Wanwan company. I couldn't contact you, so... sorry. "

He suddenly apologized for the 2 yuan a few years ago, and Shu Yi said, "It's okay, as long as your mother is fine."

Yu Pei still didn't answer why he gave the bank card number, and Shu Yi didn't dare to guess wildly. He just wondered if it was because he said "I like cash" before, but they are too polite now, not like a couple holding a ring , It's like a customer who is negotiating some business.

Naturally, both parties are responsible for this situation. Shu Yi admits that he is more responsible, and he is now ready to bear it.

"I'm sorry about what happened before." Shu Yi said again, more sincerely than the previous few times, "I didn't accompany you on Christmas Eve, and I blamed you later... It is true that I may change places to work soon, and there is a high probability that I will be there D area, D area is far away from here, it takes a long time to go back and forth, it may not be convenient for your work, but..."

When Shu Yi mentioned this pause, his proud decision-making ability could not judge whether it was right to continue, but his emotions were surging, urging him to continue to speak, he paused again and again, and finally gave in to emotion, licking his lower lip , go all out, and asked a little nervously: "Will you accompany me to the new D area?"

There was silence again, this time was more tormenting than the previous ones, at least for Shu Yi.

He waited, his fingers would crumpled the check unconsciously in just a few seconds, but he finally waited until Yu Pei opened his mouth.

"If I said yes, would you wear the ring to work tomorrow?"

Contrary to the black and white answer of "yes, no" in his imagination, Shu Yi was taken aback for a moment, and honestly said: "No."

On the contrary, Yu Pei expected to refuse, his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes darkened, and depressed emotions hovered in it, each of them sighed softly, saying: "Sure enough..."

However, before those emotions had time to ferment, Shu wiped them away with a single sentence.

"I'm on vacation tomorrow, so I don't have to go to the company... But if you want, I can take the ring back to my parents' house tomorrow and be with you."

As he spoke, he rubbed the ring, looked up at Yu Pei, and was also a little nervous: "Are you...are you free tomorrow?"

Yu Pei didn't speak, he didn't give a verbal reply, and it seemed that there would be no more verbal reply, because he left his luggage at the door, took two steps forward, held Shu Yi's face, and replaced the affirmative answer with a kiss.

The five-pointed star is still on, and the dim light illuminates the same smooth jawlines of the two, as well as the upward corners of the mouth that cannot be hidden even in the touch and adhesion.

The rain outside the window has stopped, and it seems that tomorrow will be sunny, but no one cares about it anymore, no one wants to pick someone up on a rainy night, rain is no longer a fate or an excuse, whether it is cloudy or sunny tomorrow, sunny or sunny The storm, it was just an ordinary day spent by Shu Yi and Yu Pei, like all the countless days after that, it was meaningless, but it was cared about.

On the second day, there was no work or task. Shu didn't go out until one afternoon. He was sitting in the passenger seat of the SUV, waiting for Yu Pei to come back from the supermarket. ? ], just about to reply with a smile, the phone vibrated, and unexpectedly received a message from Lu Ruiming.

Lu Ruiming【Picture】

Lu Ruiming [Suddenly turned to the photos from a few years ago, I didn't expect that we could actually work together]

Looking at the little picture, Shu Yi could probably tell that it was a photo taken by the senior for himself and Lu Ruiming when they went out for an internship in their junior year. The little picture was very blurry, and Shu Yi didn't intend to click on it.

Shu Yi [I have changed guards, we should have little chance to continue working together]

Without seeing what Lu Ruiming replied, he typed and sent the last one.

Shu Yi [Teacher Lu, I have already forwarded your WeChat account to Xiao Li, if there is anything I can talk to him about.By the way, Yuefang is about to launch the corporate WeChat, and I will not bother too much on the private account. If you have any questions, you can hit me on the work account]

After sending it out, Shu Yi didn't hesitate anymore, and raised his hand to delete Lu Ruiming's friend.

He went back to the chat interface and replied to Su Er [on the way]

Su Er [I heard mom say you are going back alone? 】

Shu Yi [two people, plus a ring]

Su Er [? 】

Just a few days after we met, my brother married himself, and Su Er was greatly shocked, but no matter how much he sent question marks in the chat box and swiped the screen, no one would reply.

In the car, Yu Peila got into the car, put the fruit he bought in the back, and asked, "Who are you chatting with?"

"My brother, he asked when we would arrive."

"Oh." Yu Pei obviously liked the word "we". He sat up straight and pulled up his seat belt, and asked casually, "Do you think your parents will like me?"

"Yes." Shu Yi smiled at him, "Who doesn't like such a handsome son-in-law, and their aesthetics are quite similar to mine, so of course they like what I like."

"Yeah." Yu Pei actually didn't care that much about Shu Yi's parents' opinions, he just cared about Shu Yi's satisfactory reply, he smiled slightly and said, "Seat belt, let's go."

Shu Yi raised his hand and looked at him with a smirk, very proud of being favored.Yu Pei cooperatively helped him fasten it, straightened up and started the car.

The back seat of the SUV is full of fruits, snacks, and gifts, which are so heavy that they are a bit cumbersome.Yu Pei just naturally drove the heavy car, chatting about meaningless topics with Shu Yi, who was propping his head in the passenger seat.

Today is indeed a good weather, the people Yu Pei cares about and the people Shu Yi likes are all beside him, and the car they like when they are young accommodates them, driving smoothly and steadily to the distant intersection.

They will go through many intersections together, and they have the confidence to walk together all the way.
