Pavlov's dog

The next day when the nurse came to work, Tan Xiyuan was free, and Xie Heng appeared in the hospital immediately as if he had installed a radar on him.

Uncle Zhuang still knew him when he saw him, and greeted him, "Come and see Xiyuan."

Tan Xiyuan went downstairs with others, Xie Heng asked: "What do you like to eat? I have ordered three restaurants, all kinds of tastes are available."

Tan Xiyuan was so rich and powerful that he was speechless: "I'll treat you to this meal, thank you for the doctor you found."

"I invite you." Xie Heng waved his hand, "Don't argue about this."

In the end, they decided on a western restaurant, and Tan Xiyuan planned to leave after eating, but Xie Heng obviously didn't want to let go of the opportunity, and suggested: "It's still early, do you want to go swimming?"

"Swimming in this weather?" Tan Xiyuan looked at the sky.

"You can swim in any weather. Last year, I went to Nordic winter swimming with my friends. The taste was very sour."

"No, I'm not even ready."

Xie Heng had premeditated: "It's okay, I have prepared a set of swimming trunks and goggles for you, go."

Tan Xiyuan was manipulated by others, and he refused without saying a word.

Swimming is too selfish as an after-dinner activity, Xie Heng didn't hide it, he rubbed his chin with relish to see Tan Xiyuan's body swimming underwater.

Tan Xiyuan swam back and forth, adjusted his swimming goggles, and shook the water droplets on his face.

Xie Heng applauded him: "Full marks."

Tan Xiyuan was in a good mood after exercising, and smiled: "Would you like to take a swim?"

Xie Heng was naturally willing to show, his swimming style was standard and his speed was extremely fast, Tan Xiyuan compared it in his heart, he probably couldn't match it.

"I was almost selected for the national team when I was young." Xie Heng boasted without shame, "But my mother doesn't want me to be so tired and go to training without me."

"Athletes are really tired." Tan Xiyuan said.

"Yeah, I don't want to go either. It's most comfortable to eat, drink, and have fun." Xie Heng leaned against the edge of the pool, "But I used to swim really well. The school organized competitions, and I won first place every time. And compared to No.2..."

He showed his forehead and looked very young, and his expression was too exaggerated when he boasted, he looked like a big boy who hadn't grown up.

"I know." Tan Xiyuan interrupted him suddenly.

Xie Heng was taken aback: "You know?"

"For so many years, the rhetoric has not changed." Tan Xiyuan couldn't help teasing.

Xie Heng was at a loss for a moment, and then the memory slowly broke through and became clearer: "Oh, yes, I told you before..."

A few years ago, when Tan Xiyuan was Xie Heng's tutor, one day Xie Heng came back from the field, and Tan Xiyuan was doing his homework for him. Xie Heng sat down next to him, sipping a sports drink.

Children like to wear red, and the red sweater he wears is full of vigor and vitality, and the heat from his body is constantly radiating out.

"It's really hot." Xie Heng tugged at the collar of the sweater, "Why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"

In the early autumn weather, the highest temperature during the day is only 24 degrees, so it is not necessary to turn on the air conditioner.

Xie Heng complained a few words. He happened to be able to see the open-air swimming pool in the courtyard from the window. He looked at it for a while, and suddenly asked, "Go swimming?"

Tan Xiyuan was imitating Xie Heng's poor handwriting, so he had no time to talk to him: "No."

"Come with me for a couple of laps." Young Master Xie said exactly what he wanted, and dragged him down.

When he got to the pool, Tan Xiyuan hesitated to say that he would not.Although the "teacher-student" relationship has been maintained for two months, they are not familiar with each other, and they have not been alone much—after all, Xie Heng never obediently attends class.

"You can't swim?" Xie Heng asked in surprise, "You didn't take swimming lessons in school since you were a child?"

"We only teach morality and wisdom, and comprehend body and beauty by ourselves." Tan Xiyuan said.

Xie Heng said impatiently: "Then watch me swim." After swimming twice, he felt bored again, and came to Tan Xiyuan with his tail wagging like a fish, raised his face full of water droplets, "Forget it!" It’s boring to play alone, let me teach you.”

Tan Xiyuan just wanted to go back and quickly help him finish his homework to catch up to the next part-time job, so he said perfunctorily, "I don't need to trouble you, I don't coordinate my limbs, and I can't learn well."

"Won't that teach me more about my skills?" Xie Heng became more motivated, stretching out his wet hand to pull him, "Come on, I will teach you, and let you call me teacher. And let me tell you, I can swim well." Well, the school sends me to participate in competitions every time, and I always come first..."

Xie Heng had no choice but to give up, Tan Xiyuan had no choice but to let him go.However, this child who has always been unscrupulous and has a young temper, is surprisingly patient when teaching people.

"Hands need to be like this, so that they can float." Xie Heng instructed him from the side, and he rarely boasted, "You're a quick learner, and you're not stupid."

Tan Xiyuan is a good student, and it didn't take long for him to look good. When the two of them were resting, Xie Heng compared his height with him. How could a third-year student compare with a sophomore, so he was not very happy: "You look backward Quite high."

Tan Xiyuan took a glass of water from the shore to drink.

Xie Heng came over suddenly, sticky, Tan Xiyuan took a step back: "What are you doing?"

Xie Heng glanced down: "Teacher Tan, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Have."

"Did you do that with her?" Coupled with that wretched eyebrow and wink, it's not hard to guess what he meant.

"No." Tan Xiyuan took another step back with disgust on his face, the sound of the water splashed twice, and the water rippled.

"No, he's still a virgin at such an age."

"Aren't you?" Tan Xiyuan looked at his body.

"It won't be soon." Xie Heng raised his eyebrows, "Doing that now will affect the development, and wait for a while."

Tan Xiyuan thought it was funny, the little brat thought a lot about it.

Xie Heng thought of this past, and felt it was funny for a moment, Tan Xiyuan went to swim again, his figure was vigorous and graceful, pleasing to the eye.When the people stopped, Xie Heng couldn't help saying: "You have changed a lot."

"Huh?" Tan Xiyuan took off his swimming goggles and wiped the water off his face.

"It's not quite the same as before, no wonder I haven't recognized it." Xie Heng compared his current appearance with his previous appearance in his mind.In the past, Tan Xiyuan was very thin, with long hair, with the aloofness of a good student and the shabbyness of a poor person.Now it looks like an elite, well-bred, decent and generous, and everything is perfect.

Tan Xiyuan smiled and asked, "What's not like it?"

That smile was very handsome and moving, Xie Heng's heart moved, and he blurted out: "It has become more beautiful."

Tan Xiyuan raised his eyes and looked over, his eyes were clearly calm, but under the reflection of the sparkling water, they looked wet, even the eyelashes were dripping with water.

Xie Heng pressed his hands against the stone wall behind him, and couldn't help leaning forward slightly. He got closer and closer, and his face gradually became blurred.

Fang Wei asked herself before if she was annoying Xie Heng.Annoyance is annoying, but it's not annoying, of course, let alone liking.To be honest, Xie Heng was the kind of person he was most afraid of encountering. He didn't follow the rules, was hard to follow the rules, and his reckless behavior occasionally made Tan Xiyuan feel restless.

However, he is tactful and has his own set of methods. Xie Heng tried to succeed several times, but he retreated with his body.But Tan Xiyuan was also thinking about whether he had done something wrong.

Unable to attack by force, Xie Heng changed to a soft and tough tactic, which was even more difficult to deal with.The harder the prey struggles, the more exciting it is for the hunter.For people like Xie Heng, maybe he should be obedient and let him ask for it, and he can get away when the other party loses his interest.

Just like now, it may be the best choice not to resist, not to run away, and let others succeed.

Tan Xiyuan's eyelashes trembled, and the drops of water fell in response, dripping into the swimming pool and making ripples.Xie Heng's breath was close at hand, hitting his face.

Seeing that the two lips were about to touch, someone suddenly turned their head away.

—No, he can't.

Tan Xiyuan dodged, Xie Heng coughed, withdrew his body, and shrugged his shoulders.

No one spoke for a while.

Xie Heng splashed a few splashes, swam around for a while, stopped next to Tan Xiyuan, and said, "I really want to chase you."

Tan Xiyuan shook his head: "To be honest, it's not a pleasant thing to hear a man say that to me."

"Okay." Xie Heng pondered for a while, and changed the topic to something irrelevant: "By the way, who is that hospitalized person? Why do you call him Uncle Zhuang?"

"Stepfather."

"Oh, is that your half-brother?" Xie Heng asked again.

Tan Xiyuan knew that he was asking about Zhuang Yue, so he nodded.

"Then your mother should be very beautiful."

Tan Xiyuan froze, but Xie Heng didn't notice it, and said to himself: "Your brother is quite interesting."

"Don't make up his mind." Tan Xiyuan's eyes turned cold.

Xie Heng was stunned for a moment, he didn't mean that at all, he just felt that Zhuang Yue looked at him strangely, as if with hostility and resistance, so he said so much, but Tan Xiyuan misunderstood, Xie Heng couldn't laugh or cry: "I'm here In your opinion, is such a beast inferior? Someone who can play with brothers and sisters?"

Tan Xiyuan's complexion was not good, he swam to the pool and said, "It's getting late, it's time to go back."

After going back to rest for a day, Uncle Zhuang was gradually recovering, and Tan Xiyuan started to prepare to go to work on leave.The day before resuming work was a sunny day, and the sun gave off a warm feeling.When he arrived at the office, Fang Wei was already there, squatting in the pantry playing mobile games and waiting for the water to boil. When Tan Xiyuan passed by, he lightly pressed the top of his head with his hand.

"It's so early."

Fang Wei was startled by the sudden human voice, and at the same time there was a scream from the phone, the character he played fell off the cliff and died tragically at the bottom of the valley.

"Brother Tan, you're here." He had a good temper, didn't care about the failure of the game clearance, and stood up with a smile on his face, "Uncle is still in the hospital, I'm planning to visit in the next two days."

"No, it's too troublesome." Tan Xiyuan smiled, "Are you free tonight? Treat you to dinner."

"On the first day of work, I was thinking about treating me to dinner." Fang Wei laughed, "You are so busy now, don't worry about thanking me."

No matter how good a friend is, when it comes to money, you must be cautious and polite.Tan Xiyuan naturally insisted on a treat to thank him, and Fang Wei accepted it, and sent a text message to Zhou Ruiyun—although Zhou Ruiyun has been busy with work recently, he probably doesn't have time to spare to date him at night.

A week has passed since the racecourse reconciliation, Zhou Ruiyun took down the watch that caused the quarrel and cold war, and never wore it again.Fang Wei understood that this was the other party's compromise, so she couldn't help but feel relieved, and continued to fall in love with the person without any grievances.

However, Zhou Ruiyun's emotions are cloudy and uncertain. After getting along for a long time, friction is inevitable. When the other party turns cold, Fang Wei is even afraid of him occasionally.

"Huh? Have you dyed your hair?" Tan Xiyuan was about to enter the office, when the light shone into the tea room at this moment, he noticed a slight change.

The sun jumped on the dark red hair color of Bordeaux red, which made Fang Wei's whole person look much brighter.

"I dyed it on a whim." Fang Wei came back to his senses and stroked his hair, "I plan to dye it back in a few days, I'm not used to it."

"It's pretty good just like this." Tan Xiyuan said.

Tan Xiyuan drove after get off work, and the two found a nearby restaurant for dinner.Xu Shi's operation went well, and Tan Xiyuan looked good. During the meeting, he talked humorously about the company's trip to Thailand last year, and the two chatted happily.

"Fang...Fang Wei!" A female voice interrupted the pleasant conversation, Fang Weiyi was startled, and followed the prestige.

The woman came running over with her high heels on, and smiled brightly: "I haven't dared to recognize you from far away, remember me? Chen Ran."

"Sister Ran." Fang Wei stood up immediately. This was the woman he was with during Zhou Ruiyun's self-driving tour. "Of course I remember. Did you come here for dinner too?"

"The coupon given to this store by a friend will expire after tonight, so I had to rush over to have a meal." Chen Ran said.

"Are you alone? Do you want to be together?" Fang Wei took the initiative to invite, "This is my friend, Tan Xiyuan."

"Hello." Tan Xiyuan stood up to greet her, and pulled out a chair, "Let's eat together."

Not being respectful, Chen Ran sat down, tilted his head and said with a smile: "Sure enough, all handsome guys have friends with handsome guys."

Tan Xiyuan was praised with a smile, and invited the waiter to add more bowls and chopsticks.He was considerate and considerate, but Fang Wei had no room for display, so he raised the topic and asked, "Didn't Brother Liu come with you?"

"We agreed to come together, but ended up working overtime." Chen Ran took a sip of water.

Fang Wei nodded: "Yes, Zhou Ruiyun also said that he has to work overtime today, and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is quite busy recently."

"You really believe them." Chen Ran smiled disdainfully, "What is overtime? I only tortured him for 10 minutes. I went to a bachelor party. My friend is getting married next week, and a group of men are going to have a carnival tonight."

"Really?" Fang Wei was stunned for a moment. He had sent a message to Zhou Ruiyun an hour ago, and the other party said he was working overtime, but it turned out he wasn't.

"Yes. You asked Zhou Ruiyun to come out today? He also said he was working overtime?" Chen Ran was puzzled, "Why did you still trick my brother into being a girlfriend?"

Tan Xiyuan glanced at Fang Wei when he heard the words, and Fang Wei quickly rounded up his words. After all, women's sixth sense is quite scary: "I contacted him a few days ago. He said that he has been busy with work recently and worked a lot of overtime. Also working overtime."

The tableware came up, and Tan Xiyuan handed the menu to Chen Ran: "See if you want to add more dishes."

Chen Ran has a bright personality, and he didn't make the atmosphere awkward by joining temporarily. The three of them ate and drank happily.Chen Ran obviously had a crush on Tan Xiyuan, and while he was going to the bathroom, he pulled Fang Wei and whispered, "Your friend is really nice, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Sister Ran, you have a family background..."

Chen Ran pretended to hit him: "What nonsense, I have a girlfriend who is still single, I asked for her."

Fang Wei understood: "Brother Tan is still single now, but he is more of a workaholic. He doesn't seem to care much about love."

"High-quality men are not in a hurry to fall in love." Chen Ran sighed, "But my girlfriend probably doesn't like this one very much, it's too gentle and calm, and she likes to ignore her and make her head hot, it's like A shivering m, like Zhou Ruiyun..."

"Zhou Ruiyun?" Fang Wei captured the name sensitively.

"Yes." Chen Ran drank some beer wine, a little drunk, and started rambling, "Once Lao Liu and I invited our friends to have dinner together, and my girlfriend immediately fell in love with him, and we chased him for half a year. Didn't succeed either."

Fang Wei listened to the words without leaving a word, and asked, "And then?"

"There is no more, if you can't catch up, forget it."

"What are you talking about?" Tan Xiyuan just came back from the bathroom, and asked before sitting down.

Chen Ran took a sip of wine: "Talk about Zhou Ruiyun's peach blossoms." She thought that Tan Xiyuan was also Zhou Ruiyun's friend.

Although Tan Xiyuan didn't know this person, he didn't say anything.

Chen Ran suddenly thought of something, and started talking: "Speaking of him, he was also a legend in our school at that time."

Tan Xiyuan lacked interest, poured a cup of tea and drank it.Fang Wei was so curious that he couldn't wait to ask: "What legend?"

"He's handsome and attracts peach blossoms. There was a very rich girl in school chasing him, and the pursuit was earth-shattering. Everyone thought he could succeed, but Zhou Ruiyun turned around and agreed to the pursuit of a school girl." Chen Ran was originally laughing, but suddenly His expression condensed, "I didn't expect something to happen later, it's quite uncomfortable to talk about."

"What's wrong?" Fang Wei asked.

"The junior girl he promised to date had nude photos taken and posted on the school's intranet." Chen Ran sighed, "It's obvious who did it. The rich girl has a bad temper, she's a younger sister, and her brother is a gangster. Yes, ignorant and incompetent, and extreme in doing things."

"...What about Zhou Ruiyun? How did he react when this happened?"

"What happened later is even more troublesome." Chen Ran smiled and shook his wine glass, "You would never have imagined that after more than a month, Zhou Ruiyun broke up with the junior girl and got together with that girl instead."

Fang Wei was surprised: "Why?"

"At that time, the people in the school were also very puzzled, and there were all kinds of speculation."

The hour hand pointed to nine o'clock, and the restaurant was less and less crowded. Fang Wei sat at a table in the corner, listening to his lover's past and gossip.And Zhou Ruiyun, who was more than ten kilometers away from him, was also asked a question related to the past at the bachelor party.

"I heard that you left a woman naked in the bamboo forest of the school when you were in college. Is it true?" The questioner's tone was mixed with ridicule, and a group of men immediately laughed wretchedly and made noise at him.

Chen Ran took the last sip of wine: "He talked to that girl for a few months, and then there was another gossip in the school."

——"It was said that Zhou Ruiyun had a tryst with that girl at night in the small bamboo forest on the mountain behind the school. The girl took off all her clothes, but he turned around and left, leaving her naked there."

Fang Wei opened his eyes wide, in disbelief: "Where are you throwing it?"

"Yes." Chen Ran nodded, "But I don't know if it's true or not. I had already graduated at that time, so it was just a rumor, and the story spread quite widely."

Fang Wei was still in a daze, Tan Xiyuan had already paid the bill and came back, shaking his hand in front of him: "Drink too much?"

"Ah, no." Fang Wei recovered.

"It's getting late, let's go back." Tan Xiyuan helped him get his coat, "Take Miss Chen back first."

"Mmm." Fang Wei walked out of the restaurant with frivolous steps.

Chen Ran got a little drunk, and went to Fang Wei's side to touch his hair: "I saw you before and wanted to say, did you dye your hair? I almost didn't dare to admit it."

Fang Wei pursed her lips and smiled, revealing her inconspicuous dimples: "Well, it was dyed last week."

"Looks good." Chen Ran patted his shoulder, then touched his face, "White. Tsk, your skin is better than mine."

Fang Wei lowered her head and smiled, but was absent-minded about what Chen Ran said just now.

Does Zhou Ruiyun have such a past?Treated a girl so poorly?Fang Wei couldn't imagine, because he found that Zhou Ruiyun in other people's mouth was different from what he remembered.

The people around asked him to answer, Zhou Ruiyun leaned on the sofa, his thick eyelashes cast shadows under his eyes, and his eyes became deep.

"Yes." He leaned on his elbow and said slowly, "and even took her clothes away and threw them away."

"Awesome!" A man blushed and shouted excitedly, "What kind of hatred is this? Doing this to women!"

Zhou Ruiyun smiled slowly, with no warmth in his eyes.
