please stop being jealous

"I'll be late tonight."

I just finished class at 08:30 when I received a call from Xu Luoye.

She took the time to tell me.

There were students around me saying goodbye to me, so I answered them first, said "goodbye" and "be careful" a few times, and then walked towards the office and replied to Xu Luo who was on the other side of the phone: "Why?"

She didn't use words like "maybe", "maybe" or "probably" as a prefix, and she was very sure that she would be late tonight.

I pursed my lips, and heard her answer: "The professor just asked me to do something." She continued to add a sentence, also explaining seriously, "It's a bit sudden, I just said it."

She studied at a polytechnic university in Liucheng with excellent grades. Although I don't know much about her, I still know this—from Fang Yuan.

I stopped walking, stood in the corridor, and leaned to one side.

The sky is already dark, and the chill of early spring has not faded away. It has been a whole day since last night, and Liucheng has been falling with a long and drizzle of light rain.

I tightened my coat, and said to Xu Luo again, this time I called her: "Little friend." I thought for a while, and teased her, "Are you scared?"

Xu Luo didn't answer me either, and there was three seconds of silence between us.

I took the phone and glanced at the call interface.

I haven't made a note of her mobile phone number, and there is only an unfamiliar phone number on it, but it is true at first, and this is only her second call with me.

Besides, I'm not in such a hurry, and I don't have that habit. There are almost no one in my mobile phone address book. Everyone usually communicates through WeChat, and I can memorize all important numbers.

The call time jumped for another two seconds, I put the phone next to my ear again, let her go, and gave her the steps: "Nervous?"

"Yes." Xu Luo finally gave me an answer.

Her voice is very soft and a bit small, but the most important thing is that it is cold, like a small stream flowing quietly in the countryside all day long, it is icy and cold, which matches the weather in Liucheng very well these days.

I'm not an unreasonable person either: "Go get busy."

I said again: "In the wind and rain, the apartment is waiting for you."

After hanging up the phone, I let out a breath before continuing to walk to the office.

The incandescent lights in the office were turned on brightly, and my colleagues were basically packing up their things and preparing to leave work, and I was no exception. Finally, after clocking in at [-]:[-], I followed Zhao Xun into the elevator.

Zhao Xun taught physics. She pinched her waist and said, "Tomorrow is the weekend again, and I have to go to work at eight o'clock in the morning."

Due to the different nature of work, we usually only rest on Monday and Tuesday, and the weekends of other friends are almost staggered.

The two days on weekends are busier than weekdays, and I have to attend four hours of classes every day.

I echoed: "Yes." Then I pretended to be dismissive, "After two more days, I will rest."

"Yeah." Zhao Xun didn't know me that well, and we were still a little polite when we talked.

Probably not some.

Finally, when the elevator reached the first floor, she left first, and I continued down to the first floor to drive.

The parking lot was dark, and the mobile phone had no signal. After I drove the car out, it got better. After driving on the main road for 2 minutes, the screen of the mobile phone on the side lit up.

I pressed the Bluetooth headset, and Fangyuan's voice came over: "Ah, how long do you have?"

"On the way."

There was some noise from her side, if it wasn't because she was so close to the receiver, I might not be able to hear clearly.

"This new bar is really good." Fang Yuan didn't immediately hang up on me or continue to urge me to go quickly, I could hear a hint of drunkenness in her voice, "There are so many handsome guys, I am dazzled by seeing them, and I can't even add them on WeChat Come."

I:"……"

I couldn't help laughing: "You add so many WeChat accounts, do you want them to help you when you accumulate likes in your circle of friends?"

There was a red light ahead, so I stopped and heard her say again: "Yeah, otherwise what's the point of adding WeChat?"

I held the steering wheel and looked sideways at the passing pedestrians outside the window.

It was still raining lightly, and they were holding umbrellas and walking in a hurry.

I said: "There are about 10 minutes left, you wait for me at the door."

If it was normal, I would definitely go for a drink, but tonight, I just went to pick Fang Yuan back to her house.

"Okay, okay, got it."

At ten minutes past nine, Fang Yuan got into my car. She smelled strongly of alcohol, and her eyes were a little dazed.

I drove her home proficiently, and joked: "Boss Fang is really different. He runs a milk tea shop by himself, so he doesn't have to go to the shop on time step by step."

The implication is nothing more than talking about her willfulness and my own lack of freedom.

Fang Yuan leaned her elbows against the window and turned to look at me. She frowned and said in a confused tone, "Speaking of which, are you going to meet that pretty little sister in my store tonight?"

The "beautiful little sister" in her mouth naturally refers to Xu Luoye, because Xu Luo also works part-time in her shop.

It was precisely because of this that I saw Xu Luoye there half a month ago.

That was the first time I saw her. She was wearing work clothes, with a faint smile on her face. There were a lot of customers queuing up in front of her. She worked in an orderly manner without rushing, and politely asked customers about their needs.

Pure and beautiful.

I didn't deny it, and nodded: "Yeah, the appointment is at 09:30, but she called me and said she would be late." I smiled, "Also, you pay attention to the words, I didn't mean 'see' , is 'sleep'."

Fang Yuan can also scold me after drinking: "Fuck, get out." She touched her forehead, and was speechless for a while, "You are not an animal that can't control your desire, and you won't see me. People just rush to eat it."

She snorted softly: "Sleep?" She didn't give me a chance to speak out, she started talking again, and even changed my name, "Our teacher Yu is really awesome, because he is too old because he is too boring. , taking care of a young and beautiful little sister who is five years younger than me."

What she said is correct, the relationship between me and Xu Luoye is pure and simple - benefactor and lover.

Her tone was teasing, I pretended not to hear it, and continued to drive: "As long as you want, you can too. If you think those handsome guys in the bar are too tired, I will introduce all the young handsome guys under me for you."

Fangyuan seemed to be sober, and sneered at my words: "What's wrong? All the fucking minors in your educational institution, I don't want to delay their future, and I can't stand it when I'm old, even if they want to, But sooner or later, I will break up. If I go, maybe I will be his sex-initiation teacher. I will be 30 years old later, and the skills I taught him will be used on other little girls. Wouldn’t it be a loss for me? ?” She chimed again, as if looking down on me, “Besides, I don’t have your habit of eating young grass like an old cow. I can’t accept being two years older than me or younger than me.”

She bites the word "hobby" very hard.

But I don't have such a habit. My exes are either my age or a little older than me.

Xu Luo was also an accident, but it wasn't an accident either.

She is not my girlfriend.

I didn't refute her words, and even followed her words: "You don't understand this. In our chemistry, there is a professional term called neutralization reaction. I am neutralizing it now." I said as if It really seemed like that, and I almost believed it, "Looking at the stars, admiring the moon, talking about life and ideals with my young little sister, I will be a few years younger."

The time after graduation was like a rocket. Before I realized it, I was already 27 years old this year.

Fang Yuan couldn't listen anymore, she drank wine, and her nasal voice was a bit heavy: "Looking at the stars, admiring the moon, talking about life and ideals... You don't feel tired when you say it, can you just change it to 'go to bed'? "

I interrupted her: "Get out of the car." Worried that she couldn't turn her head and misunderstood that I was going to put her on the side of the road, I said, "It's your neighborhood."

Fangyuan heaved a sigh of relief, opened the car door, and went down.

She lived not far from my apartment, and after getting her settled, I got into the car parked under a tree outside the complex.

Feel like a driver.

But I didn't leave in a hurry, and stayed in the driver's seat for 2 minutes, watching the time beat on my phone.

At [-]:[-], he also called Xu Luo.

This will be my third call with her. She called the first two times, but the nature is a little different. The first call is to ask me to talk about the relationship between me and her in detail.

For example, in the next year, do I have any special restrictions on her, are there any things that must be done, and... When will I send her money every month.

Etc., etc.

There are many questions and more details.

Her expression was so grave and stern that I thought I was in a conference room discussing business.

Not bad though.

After at least ten seconds, Xu Luo also answered my call, and I was the first to speak: "Can it be over at ten ten?"

"Ah."

I licked my lower lip and said softly, "I'll pick you up."

The Polytechnic University is only about [-] minutes away from me by car.

Not far away.

And it's a little late.

Xu Luo didn't refuse either, and still responded softly: "Yes."

The corners of my mouth turned up, my eyes narrowed, and I lowered my voice a little, and called her by name: "Xu Luoye."

I asked her, "Are you ready?"

I paused: "If you want to escape now, there is still time."
