Pavlov's dog

The hidden danger is buried in the ice, and the parties may have begun to notice and know it well, but they all choose to maintain the surface balance.The days are slipping forward as usual, Zhou Ruiyun and Fang Wei are busy with work and coping with life.Xie Heng had just returned from a long business trip, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was escorted by his friends to play in various clubs for a few days. When he got out and planned to find Tan Xiyuan, Zhuang Yue's college entrance examination scores had already been announced, and his volunteers had already signed up. .

"The test is not bad, but it's a bit worse than his model test. According to the score line of previous years, A University should be able to get in." Tan Xiyuan finished talking about Zhuang Yue's current situation, and then asked Xie Heng, "Did you just come back?"

"It's been a few days. Tomorrow weekend, are you free to play? My friend opened an archery gym." Xie Heng asked.

"I know nothing about archery."

Xie Heng was overjoyed: "Isn't that better, I'll teach you. Originally, I called Fang Wei, but he said he had to work overtime, what kind of overtime work on weekends? I think it's clearly because he wants to go out on a date with his girlfriend."

"He took on a private job recently, and he's really busy..." Tan Xiyuan was on the phone while feeding the stray cats downstairs, when he realized something was wrong, he stopped quickly.

But Xie Heng has already caught the point: "Take private work? He is not short of money."

Tan Xiyuan coughed: "I want to practice more."

Xie Heng was skeptical, and muttered: "There is nothing to experience, and I don't feel tired."

Fang Wei's busyness naturally has a reason, but Tan Xiyuan was inconvenient to talk about it, so he changed the topic: "Did you just say the weekend? I promised to accompany Zhuang Yue to climb the mountain on the weekend, so I probably don't have time."

"Then I'll climb the mountain with you." Xie Heng changed his words politely, "The weather is fine these days, and I'm also thinking about whether to go mountain climbing."

Tan Xiyuan was speechless for a while: "..."

"it's OK?"

"what ever."

"Then we'll see you this weekend. By the way, are you camping? Do you want to bring your equipment?"

"Only climb for one day, not overnight."

As a result, it started to rain the next day, and the mountain climbing was changed to next week. Xie Heng sighed, but couldn't suppress his loneliness, so he asked Tan Xiyuan to come out for dinner. Unfortunately, the time was never on time, and the appointment never came.

It rained incessantly into Tuesday.Tan Xiyuan said that there is a dinner party tonight, and Xie Heng has nothing to do to find someone to drag the car.As a result, his mother, Yang Erlan, called and said that grandpa had fallen at home. Although it was nothing serious, the younger generation in the family took turns to express their condolences.

Xie Heng had no choice but to go back home, and caught up with Fang Wei's mother. He kissed her when he was young, and shouted: "Godmother, you look so good, but you seem to have lost weight. Why, have you been losing weight recently?"

Mother Fang smiled and said, "Hey, I'm too old to lose weight. It's you, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"I was on a business trip before, and I was very busy with work." Xie Heng exaggerated, "Your son is busier than me. A few days ago, I asked him to go to play on weekends, and he said he was working overtime. Godmother, you have to check carefully Can he work overtime on weekends? He must have talked about his girlfriend..."

"Shut up." Yang Erlan slapped him on the back of the head from behind, and reprimanded, "He knows how to make progress, but you are still slandering him. Hurry up and go upstairs to see your grandpa."

Xie Heng got slapped for no reason, and grinned at his mother before going upstairs to see his grandfather.

Yang Erlan smiled apologetically, "Don't worry about it..."

Mother Fang shook her head: "Xiao Wei is beyond my expectation this time, he has even kept Xie Heng from telling the truth."

Fang Mu had already left when Xie Heng came down, and he asked, "Why didn't the godmother stay for dinner?"

Yang Erlan felt a headache when he saw him: "You have time to control whether others eat or not, why don't you read a few pages of books, which of the few projects you made were thrown away by the directors of the company like garbage..."

Xie Heng hugged his head to beg for mercy, and quickly took the opportunity to sneak out of the house.When he came out and had nothing to do, a few friends came to him for a drink, Xie Heng couldn't hold his breath, and wandered around twice with his cell phone and car keys.Suddenly thinking of Fang Wei—this kid can't see his tail all day long, Xie Heng thought to himself, if it's not true that he fell in love and forgot his friends, he might as well go find out.

This whim really made him discover something inside.Xie Heng arrived at the door of Fang Wei's rented apartment without saying hello, but a hot woman opened the door.

Xie Heng mistook it for Fang Wei's girlfriend, and whistled: "Oh my God, our Fang Fang is really a person who can't be judged by appearances, and we can find such a hot girlfriend."

The woman frowned: "What?"

"Hi, I'm Xie Heng, is Fang Wei in the shower?" Xie Heng winked.

"Crazy!" the woman cursed, and slapped the door panel on his face.

Xie Heng, who was late in the news, knew that Fang Wei had already moved out of the apartment, and now this woman is the new tenant.Xie Hengsi didn't understand what was going on after thinking about it, so he took out his phone and called Fang Wei.

"Hey."

"Fangfang, it's me."

Fang Wei said, "Well, why are you looking for me all of a sudden?"

"Where do you live now?" Xie Heng asked this question first.

Fang Wei's scalp exploded: "What?"

"I came to your apartment and said that you checked out by yourself." Xie Heng wondered, "Where did you go? You won't be so courageous as to live with your girlfriend."

He guessed most of it right, but he didn't guess the gender.Fang Wei didn't intend to hide it from him, but he couldn't find the right time to say it, and he didn't want to explain more at this time, so he hesitated and hummed.

"If you don't sing, you're already a blockbuster." Xie Heng sighed, "Then where are you now? I want to chat with you, and I brought the dessert you like specially."

"I'm eating out with people..."

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, report a location and I'll go there."

Fang Wei subconsciously reported the name of the restaurant, but felt something was wrong, looked up at the person opposite, Tan Xiyuan shook his head at him, and said with his lips: "It's okay."

Fang Wei nodded and said, "Then come here."

Fang Wei completed the private work that he took on earlier, and the settlement over there was quick, and the wages arrived today.The job was introduced by Tan Xiyuan, so he naturally wanted to thank him, so he invited someone to dinner.

After hanging up the phone, Tan Xiyuan asked, "Xie Heng?"

"Well. I suddenly ran to the apartment where I lived to find me, but I couldn't find it..." Fang Wei struggled for a while, "Do you think I should tell him the truth?"

Tan Xiyuan, who had only known each other for a short time, knew his current situation well, but on the contrary, he didn't know anything about it since he was a kid.Fang Wei felt a little sorry.

"That's up to you to decide." Tan Xiyuan said.

Xie Heng ran into a traffic jam, and he came when the two of them were almost finished eating. It happened that Tan Xiyuan happened to be out to answer the phone.Therefore, Xie Heng didn't realize who Fang Wei was eating with when he entered the door.

He pointed to the sofa opposite: "Go out for dinner with your girlfriend?"

Fang Wei shook his head, and before he could explain, Xie Heng sat down next to him and said, "Okay, Fang Fang, we've all started living together. I thought it would take a year for a young chicken like you to even kiss each other." Half a year. People should not be judged by their appearance, tsk tsk."

Fang Wei couldn't speak, and smiled wryly.Xie Heng didn't notice it, and handed him the paper bag in his hand: "The durian box you like."

Fang Wei took it over and unpacked it: "Thank you."

Xie Heng waved his hand, then looked at him a few more times: "Why do you feel that you are a little thinner?"

Fang Wei was eating dessert with a spoon, when he heard it, he replied, "No."

"You're so skinny." Xie Heng approached and laughed twice, "Could it be that you've been drained?"

Fang Weiwei was stunned, then raised his foot and kicked over.

Xie Heng still smiled to himself, hugged his shoulders, and said affectionately: "To be honest, Fang Fang, if you are unable to do what you want, brother, I will teach you some tricks."

"If you keep talking, I'm going to wash my ears." Fang Wei joked.Originally, because he kept the truth from Xie Heng all the time, he felt a little sorry, and was thinking about whether to tell the whole story, but after a few sentences, his mood was completely relaxed by the other party's lack of tone, and some things were not convenient to say.

Xie Heng laughed for a while, and said a lot of dirty words to him.Fang Wei couldn't take it anymore, and blocked his mouth with a spoon, Xie Heng immediately yelled, "Don't you know that I don't eat durian?!"

The two laughed and quarreled for a while, Xie Heng suddenly put on a serious face: "But you move out to live with someone, godmother, do they agree?"

Fang Wei's eyes darkened, and Xie Heng immediately understood: "Do you disagree? I said that I think the godmother has been in a bad mood recently, so it's because of you?"

Fang Wei hummed ambiguously: "Probably, they disagree."

Xie Heng knew that Fang Wei treated his feelings differently than himself, so he said: "Then brother is going to remind you, if you like someone, you just need to put in [-]% or [-]% of your energy, and you have to give the rest to yourself. Leave a way out, don't give up."

Fang Wei couldn't help laughing when he heard his teaching tone: "You know that well?"

"Of course I understand. Anyway, I can be regarded as a person who has lived among thousands of flowers." Xie Heng boasted, "I despise people like you the most. It is not advisable to be extreme when you are in a relationship."

Seeing his boastful and complacent appearance, Fang Wei caught a glimpse of a familiar figure approaching from the corner of the eye, and asked, "What about you? How much sincerity do you usually give when you're with people?"

"Me?" Xie Heng raised his eyebrows, "I believe in carpe diem, and usually don't give me a cent."

Fang Wei burst out laughing, Xie Heng was at a loss: "What are you laughing at?"

Fang Weiyi pointed back while suppressing a smile, Xie Heng turned his head puzzled, and saw Tan Xiyuan watching him quietly not far away.

Xie Heng turned his head back mechanically.Tan Xiyuan didn't react much after hearing his good opinion, and said with a smile: "I have something to do at home, so I'll go back first."

They had already finished eating, if it wasn't for waiting for Xie Heng, they would have already paid and left.Fang Wei told him to be careful on the road, and Tan Xiyuan left directly.

Xie Heng sat still, Fang Wei pushed him: "Aren't you going after him?"

Xie Heng turned his head and gritted his teeth: "Did you cheat on me?"

Fang Wei propped her chin and smiled: "Hurry up, Brother Tan didn't drive today."

Xie Heng grabbed the car keys, was about to stand up, and said, "I wanted to talk to you about your girlfriend, let me meet you when you have time."

Fang Wei nodded slightly, Xie Heng had already run away.

After the meal, everyone disappeared.Fang Wei sent Zhou Ruiyun a message after paying the bill, asking him if the dinner was over.

"I happen to be near the hotel where you guys had dinner. I'll pick you up when it's over," Fang Wei said.Tonight, Zhou Ruiyun's work unit had a dinner, so Fang Wei drove his car during the day.

"End at ten o'clock."

"Okay, then I'll park the car on the side of the road and wait for you."

A few minutes after ten o'clock, a group of people came out of the hotel in a mighty way.Fang Wei saw Zhou Ruiyun from a distance, who seemed to be drinking too much and was being supported by someone.Fang Wei raised his foot and wanted to step forward to help, but it was not clear whether Zhou Ruiyun wanted him to be seen.While he was thinking, someone saw him first.

"Hey, Xiao Zhou's friend." It was Director Shen again.

Fang Wei ran over and found that Zhou Ruiyun had really drank too much, and his eyes were about to close.

"Let me help you." Fang Wei took Zhou Ruiyun and helped him into the car. Director Shen and a few people watched from behind.

Fang Wei didn't get into the car, but asked, "Director Shen, do you want to send a piece?"

"Don't bother, Xiao Zhou drank too much, you should go back quickly."

"Okay." Fang Wei said casually, "Why did you drink so much?"

"Xiao Zhou is very smart and capable." Director Shen said, "But you also know that in our unit, the relationship background is also very important, and sometimes it is not easy to go up."

Fang Wei didn't expect him to say this, and stopped the hand that opened the door for a moment.Saying this to yourself is actually over the line.

Director Shen folded his hands and looked at him with a smile. Under the lamp, those eyes seemed to contain some kind of unusual hint of light.Fang Wei didn't know how to reply, there was a sound from inside the car, it was Zhou Ruiyun knocking on the glass, it seemed to be urging him.

Director Shen returned to his kind smile again: "Hurry up and get in the car, Xiao Zhou probably wants to vomit right now after drinking too much, watch carefully."

Fang Wei smiled and got into the car.

Zhou Ruiyun leaned on the car seat, his eyes were red, Fang Wei took the bottle and handed it to him: "Do you want to vomit? If you want to vomit, I will stop the car."

Zhou Ruiyun shook his head slightly.Fang Wei said again: "Why did you drink so much?"

"things related to work."

"Is it not going well?" Fang Wei asked again, "It's the first time I've seen you drink like this."

Zhou Ruiyun closed his eyes and did not speak.

Fang Wei glanced at him, and reached out to touch his brow bone while taking advantage of the red light: "If you feel uncomfortable, I will open the car window."

Zhou Ruiyun waved his hand away, frowned and said, "It's okay."

Fang Wei opened the car window, and the wind came in, making him awake a bit.Zhou Ruiyun suddenly opened his eyes: "Close it, it's noisy."

The car next to it was honking, it was really noisy, Fang Wei closed the window again.Zhou Ruiyun was quiet for a while, then asked: "What did Shen Shize tell you just now?"

"Who?" Fang Wei had never heard of this person before, so he reacted for a while, "Director Shen? Didn't say anything..."

Zhou Ruiyun snorted lightly.Fang Wei raised his face: "What's wrong?"

"The opportunity for promotion is probably about to be squeezed."

Fang Weiwei was shocked and understood the reason for his emotions tonight: "Why? Because of Director Shen?"

Zhou Ruiyun was silent for a moment, Fang Weiyi stared at him, not even knowing that the green light was on.Zhou Ruiyun stretched out his hand and straightened his head.

Fang Wei started the car, still asking: "Is it because of him? Why squeezed out your chance?"

"Don't talk, drive." Zhou Ruiyun closed his eyes, too lazy to say anything.

Fang Wei wanted to speak up several times, but Zhou Ruiyun didn't respond anymore, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "Shut up."

The headlights can only illuminate a few tens of meters in front of the eyes, and looking further ahead, it is dark, and in that darkness is like a beast with green face and fangs, which will pounce on it at any time and tear apart all the illusion of peace.

The road ahead is long and dark, with no end in sight.It seems to be about to reach the end, or in fact, there is an end everywhere along the way.
