An Accident in Broad Daylight

Two seconds later, Yi Zhe quickly lowered his head.

Xu Tangcheng opened his mouth to say something, but saw him raise his hand and poured himself a whole glass of beer.

He suddenly remembered that a long time ago, he also felt distressed because of Yi Zhe's eyes.It was also a winter, the difference was that that night he wanted to accompany him because of that look in his eyes, so he said he wanted to invite him to dinner.

He still remembers how uncomfortable the beam of the bicycle is and how beautiful the moonlight is on the path.

"Senior, what are you thinking? Are you going home, are you drinking?"

"Huh?" Xu Tangcheng hurriedly returned to his senses, "I won't drink, I'll go home later."

"Then hurry up and eat," Yu Yu, who was sitting on the side, immediately said considerately, "The weather is not good tonight. The forecast says there may be snow. If you want to go home, go early."

"Yes, yes, yes," Lu Ming agreed, "Senior, eat quickly."

Xu Tangcheng was not thinking at all. Yi Zhe lowered his head and never raised it again. Even if someone spoke to him, he turned his head to answer, completely avoiding Xu Tangcheng's direction.

After the most anticipated big plate chicken came, someone tasted it and said it was cold. Several people were discussing whether to ask the waiter to heat it up.But there were too many people in the store at the moment, Lu Ming stood up and called out twice but no one came, so some juniors said forget it, it wasn't particularly cold, and they could make do with it.

Xu Tangcheng also stretched out his chopsticks, just about to take a bite, but was interrupted by a voice that suddenly interrupted the discussion.

"It's better to be hot." Yi Zhe looked at the people on the table calmly, and glanced at Xu Tangcheng, "I'll call the waiter."

After finishing speaking, he got up on his own, called the waiter, and took the big plate of chicken away.

Holding his chopsticks, Xu Tangcheng watched him sit down and continue to drink with distaste, as if the little episode that happened just now did not exist at all.

"Yizhe."

He finally called him.

Yi Zhe paused before raising his head to look at him.

"Don't drink too much, you have to take a car later."

The boy opposite pursed his lips, nodded, and put the beer bottle in his hand back on the table.

The big plate chicken was served again, along with the pimple soup, one of the store's signature features.The waiter put bowls on the table one by one, and when he picked up the third bowl, he said, "This is without coriander."

Xu Tang intentionally jumped a beat.

He looked in the direction of the waiter, but he heard Lu Ming beside him casually say, "Oh, mine."

The waiter handed the bowl to Lu Ming, Xu Tangcheng didn't know why, and heaved a sigh of relief.But before he finished his breath, the waiter said again: "There is still a bowl without coriander."

During the brief silence on the table, Yi Zhe raised his hand: "Here."

Hearing him thank you, Xu Tangcheng felt that he didn't have the strength to look over there anymore.He supported his head, pestered the potato cubes on the plate, bit his lip and was distracted.After the scene on the table became lively again, he shifted his gaze to Yi Zhe.

Yi Zhe sensed that he was looking at her, and met his gaze unnaturally.

What happened to this bowl of soup, only the two of them knew it well.

When ordering, he didn't say that he wanted it for Xu Tangcheng, because he originally thought that if he sat next to him, he would just change it with him without making a sound.But when he took the bowl of soup just now, he didn't dare to give it to him, and now there is another table between the two of them, so he couldn't help it secretly.

Xu Tangcheng finally couldn't stand the atmosphere of the meal. Others didn't notice anything, but he knew that he had made a mistake since he chose the seat.When everyone had finished eating and the focus changed from eating to chatting, he proposed to leave first.Yu Yu took the lead and agreed repeatedly, Xu Tangcheng got up, called Yi Zhe, and led him out.

When I went out, I realized that it was really snowing.

On the way back, Xu Tangcheng played lighter music, but he still felt that the space was cramped. Instead, the music served as a contrast, making his mood even more depressed.He really wanted to apologize to Yi Zhe, and even desperately wanted to apologize to him.But as soon as he apologized and talked about the reason, it would inevitably involve a question that he was afraid to answer.

Compared to him, Yi Zhe was very calm, and softly reminded him that the road was difficult to walk, so drive slowly.

It's snowing at home too, it seems to be a little bigger than in Beijing.Xu Tangcheng drove into the yard and saw ruts printed on the snow. Because the snow was relatively heavy, after a car drove by for a while, the snow covered another layer, and another car drove by, printing new marks.In this way, the ground looks messy and has no aesthetic feeling.

Passing by the door of the unit, he found that there was no parking space in front of his building, so Xu Tangcheng stopped the car and asked Yi Zhe to go down, and then went to find a place to park by himself.

"I'll follow you," Yi Zhe said without getting out of the car, "There are too many cars and it's hard to park. I'll help you watch."

"No, let's go in first," Xu Tangcheng lowered his voice, especially wanting to make Yi Zhe feel better when this terrible night was coming to an end, "It's snowing heavily, it's so cold."

Yi Zhe still didn't move.

Xu Tangcheng urged him again before Yi Zhe put his hand on the car door.But soon, he took it back.

"Brother Tang Cheng."

He took a breath, exhaled again, and then turned to call him.

"Huh?" Xu Tangcheng squeezed out a nasal response.

"I have two things I want to tell you."

Xu Tangcheng listened, and unconsciously clenched the steering wheel.At that moment, he understood that he was actually very afraid of Yi Zhe's showdown with him. He also found that he was immature in this matter. He didn't want to hurt Yi Zhe, and he couldn't take that step to accept his offer. Mind.He had no choice but to pretend that he didn't know, that nothing happened.

But tonight's failed dinner had shown him that it was despicable.

He couldn't really be the same as before, even if he pretended not to know, some subconscious thoughts that were not under his control would always hurt that sincere heart.

The wind and snow outside is still there, and it seems to be able to pass through the car window, disturbing the fragile calm inside the car.

"Brother Tang Cheng," Yi Zhe didn't wait for him to speak, and said what he had prepared for a long time, "If I did something wrong before, I hope...you can forgive me once."

He lowered his head, pinching the fabric on the other sleeve with one hand.

"I was quite ignorant before, I'm sorry," he looked at Xu Tangcheng with calm eyes, and even smiled, "I really won't in the future, I promise."

Yi Zhe has been thinking that maybe Zheng Yikun is also right, as if nothing happened, whitewashing the peace is the most peaceful solution in most cases.In this way, no one has to peel off the hot emotion abruptly, and then scrape it off bit by bit.Even, as long as he has a thicker skin, he can still stay by his side, relying on his soft heart, secretly ask him for the warmth he wants.Ke Yizhe didn't want this, he didn't want any pretend relationship between the two of them, even if he said it, Xu Tangcheng would only treat him one-tenth of the way he used to be, and he also hoped that this kindness would come from him Give it to him steadfastly.

If they had to pretend to each other, he was afraid that he would never realize what was true in his life.

He swore to be by his side all the time, more than literally.Not to mention thousands of rivers and mountains, even if there is a layer of veil between them, even if the head is bleeding, he will tear through the veil.

He said he had two sentences to tell him, but he really only said two sentences.

Apologies, promises, no redundant explanations.

The "I'm sorry" that he didn't say was just said firmly by Yi Zhe.

Xu Tangcheng watched him open the car door, the black figure melted into the heavy snow, and he almost exhausted all his rationality to restrain himself from holding him.

He was still wearing the down jacket he gave him, and when he lowered his head to caress it, Xu Tangcheng followed his gaze.Probably because it has been worn too many times, the cuffs of the down jacket have been worn out, and the fabric at the edge has been turned over a little, revealing the softness of the plush.

Xu Tangcheng suddenly felt very cold.

He looked ahead quietly, the snow all over the sky was illuminated by the headlights, and the falling posture was so beautiful, but it still fell to the ground and disappeared in the end.

Frustration made him completely lose strength, and after a night, he finally couldn't hold on, and fell silently on the steering wheel.Until a car came from behind, urging him to drive away quickly by shaking the headlights and honking the horn.

After parking the car, Xu Tangcheng really didn't want to go upstairs.

He walked around the flower pond in the yard, and when he turned the third circle, the black cat came over with light steps.It stopped two steps away from Xu Tangcheng and let out a "meow".

Xu Tangcheng didn't have anything in his pocket, thinking that it was probably hungry, so he went back to the car to see if there was anything to eat.But after searching for a long time, only one pack of biscuits came out.

He was probably really confused to the extreme right now, he even went back with the biscuit, squeezed a biscuit with his frozen red fingers, and put it in front of the black cat.

The black cat leaned over and sniffed, then retreated in disgust.Only then did he seem to withdraw his brain, thinking a little speechlessly how cats like to eat biscuits.

There is no place to buy ham at this time.Xu Tangcheng knelt down, stretched out a hand in the direction of the black cat, and beckoned, "Come here."

The black cat barked twice more, turned around in a circle, and then slid past Xu Tangcheng's persistent call.

Xu Tangcheng touched its head for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry."

But the black cat couldn't understand the apology.Probably only felt that this person touched it very comfortably, so he relaxed his vigilance and closed his eyes.

After saying "I'm sorry", Xu Tangcheng felt even more uncomfortable.He stood up, took out a pack of cigarettes, stepped aside to smoke one, and took a breath.But just after lighting the fire, the black cat followed silently.

Xu Tangcheng extinguished the lighter, took it aside, looked at his cat on the ground and said, "Go over there, I'm going to smoke."

The black cat tilted its head, then barked at him.

Xu Tangcheng also emphasized: "You can't smoke second-hand smoke, go to the side."

Unfortunately, another persuasion was ineffective.Xu Tangcheng had no choice but to walk to the side again, but when he turned around, the black cat was still following him closely.He looked up at the sky, and finally put away the things in his hand resignedly.

"I'll go to the house and find out if you have anything to eat, but I'm sure there's no ham sausage you like. Let's discuss it. You can make do with it, okay?"

As if finally satisfied this time, the black cat took a step back in the darkness.

Zhou Hui helped him find some other sausages, and even gave him some small crucian carp stewed by herself.Xu Tangcheng went downstairs to feed the cat and saw that it was eating well, so he went to the side to smoke.

Going back again, Zhou Hui brushed his wet clothes from too much snow and asked him why he came back so late.

"It's late for dinner."

"Oh," Zhou Hui wiped his down jacket with a dry towel, and hung it up to dry, "Did Yi Zhe come back with you?"

"Ah."

"It's good. You used to run back and forth by yourself. I'm still worried. It's safer for you two to be together."

Xu Tangcheng didn't answer, drank a glass of water by himself, and said he was tired and was going to wash up and go to bed.

Zhou Hui, who had been looking at him, asked, "Are you in a bad mood?"

"Huh?" Xu Tangcheng immediately smiled habitually and denied, "No."

"Impossible." Zhou Hui looked at the down jacket hanging over there, "The clothes are like this, your hands and face are red, you don't know how long you've been downstairs. Besides, I'm a mother, are you It's not that I'm in a bad mood, I can tell at a glance."

Xu Tangcheng laughed and shook his head, not knowing what to say.

"If it's about your school, I don't understand it, and I can't help you. But if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me about it." Zhou Hui sighed, "You have been holding back since you were a child. Don't say anything. In the eyes of others, you are stable and can handle things, but I'm afraid you will be overwhelmed."

Zhou Huiai's way of thinking from one thing to many consequences probably can represent many elderly mothers.Xu Tangcheng knew that she loved to think wildly, and was afraid that she might not sleep well tonight, so he hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired recently."

Zhou Hui was skeptical about his explanation.She stared at Xu Tangcheng's expression for a while, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Well, it's fine as long as you're free. Rest well if you're tired. I've cleaned up the house this year, so you don't have to do anything."

Xu Tangcheng agreed and went to take a bath.Hearing the small sound from Zhou Hui behind him, after walking two steps, he suddenly thought of a test.

"Mom." He turned around, called Zhou Hui to stop, and covered it up with as relaxed a tone as possible, and asked, "If I don't get married, what do you think?"

Zhou Hui straightened up, and immediately frowned after hearing this: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can you not get married?"

After finishing speaking, she thought of something, and suddenly realized: "Did you have a problem getting along with that girl?"

Xu Tangcheng was stunned for a moment, trying not to understand who Zhou Hui was talking about.

"It's Wan Zhi, I've been holding back from asking you, how are you doing with her?"

Hearing this sentence, Xu Tang immediately felt that the current conversation was a bit absurd.He lowered his head and sighed: "She and I are really ordinary friends."

Zhou Hui chased after her and wanted to ask, but Xu Tangcheng quickly took his pajamas and hid in the bathroom.But when she was undressing, Zhou Hui still stood outside the door and muttered anxiously: "You are not allowed to fool around, if you don't know how to fall in love, you have to talk, and if you don't want to get married, I will ask Cheng Cheng's mother to introduce you to someone. "

"Okay, okay, got it."

In fact, he knew better than anyone else what his own family was like.This is a big traditional family, not only my parents, but also other elders.Just throwing out someone who is not married is enough to completely lose the long-standing balance of this family.

Xu Tangcheng supported the sink and washed his face with cold water.He turned on the shower, but he looked at the person in the mirror and didn't move for a long time.
