Pavlov's dog

It's been almost a month of work, and Fang Wei is getting started gradually, and he is getting more and more busy.The fact that Zhou Ruiyun asked him for a drink that day, but let the pigeons go, really made Fang Wei feel depressed for a few days.But it didn't take long before he couldn't bear the impulsiveness, and continued to send messages to Zhou Ruiyun.

He followed up with the failed drinking appointment that day and then made an invitation, but Zhou Ruiyun pushed back three times and blocked all of them.Fang Wei had no choice but to ask him to modify the car. This time, he worked hard and told the other party in detail the places to be modified.

Zhou Ruiyun agreed this time, saying: "Sunday afternoon, I'll give you the address, you go there."

"Well, good." Fang Wei happily rolled on the bed, and saved the address sent by Zhou Ruiyun.

After lunch at noon on Sunday, Fang Wei went to the place Zhou Ruiyun mentioned. He thought it was the other party's new workplace.He was still a little nervous when he reached the door, but a woman greeted him as soon as he entered.

"What's up?"

Fang Wei said: "Come modify the car, we have an appointment with Zhou Ruiyun."

"Oh, you are Fang Wei?" The woman has short hair and looks very capable.

"Yes." Fang Wei smiled.

"I'm Jiang Jie." The woman said, "Zhou Ruiyun's friend."

"Hello."

"Sit down for a while, I'll call Lao Yang." Jiang Jie said.

Fang Wei didn't know who Lao Yang was, so he nodded along with the words, thinking about Zhou Ruiyun.

Lao Yang was a middle-aged man. He walked over with a cigarette in his mouth and rubbed his hands, and asked him, "Fang Wei, right? Xiao Zhou told me that you want to modify the headlights?"

"Hello. Is he not there?" Fang Wei stood up from the chair.

"Xiao Zhou? He's not here." Lao Yang took off his gloves and smiled, "I'll take over this business. I'm much more professional than Xiao Zhou's amateur."

Fang Wei was puzzled, and asked again: "Zhou Ruiyun doesn't work here?"

Lao Yang said curiously: "You two are really friends? Xiao Zhou looks like we are in this line of work. You smell this smell on me. Anyone in this line of work can smell the smell of gasoline from a long distance. Xiao Zhou Those who sit in offices are much cleaner and more decent than us.”

Fang Wei was in the fog, but he understood that Zhou Ruiyun was not in the business of repairing cars, so what did he do?

Lao Yang walked forward: "Okay, tell me what you have in mind, let's discuss it."

Fang Wei hurriedly followed, absently talking to others about the modification requirements.

After chatting with Lao Yang, Jiang Jie poured him a glass of water and said, "I thought you were Zhou Ruiyun's colleague."

Fang Wei took it over, thanked her, and said, "No, we are classmates in high school."

"Student... I haven't heard him mention it." Jiang Jie said.

"What does he do?" Fang Wei asked after hesitating for a while.

"What?" Jiang Jie didn't understand.

"It's nothing." Fang Wei said, "I thought he was in this business, but I didn't expect that."

"He is an inspector of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. He is a civil servant and has a solid job." Jiang Jie said, "The business hobby is researching cars, so he simply goes to a friend's shop to help out on weekends. But the repair shop he used to go to sells it, and now it is on weekends. They are probably at home."

"That's it..." Fang Wei's heart sank when he heard the last sentence.

There was an impulse in his heart, and he wanted to call the other party directly to ask where he was now, and how he introduced the repair shop to him, but he didn't even show his face.

But Fang Wei didn't do that, he thought over and over again, and just sent a text message, saying that he had arrived at the store.

It took seven or eight minutes for the other party to reply: "Well, that's my friend's store. If you have any questions, you can ask Lao Yang. I've said hello."

It's rare to reply so many words.But Fang Wei couldn't be happy, and looked weary: "Well, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner after the revision is finished."

"I've been busy recently." Zhou Ruiyun replied, saying that he refused.

Fang Wei felt uncomfortable holding the phone.

Jiang Jie and other employees in the store were discussing playing mahjong, and three of them were missing one, and asked Fang Wei if he wanted to play.

Fang Wei wouldn't, shook his head, and planned to leave the car here and leave first.

Jiang Jie pouted, and said to the friend next to him, "Let's find Zhou Ruiyun, I guess he's busy too, and let him have dinner by the way, thank him for introducing me to a client today."

Fang Wei was about to get up, but sat down again after hearing this.

The store was a bit noisy, Jiang Jie went to the corner to make a phone call, but Fang Wei didn't hear anything with his ears up.After making the phone call, Jiang Jie came back, shook the phone, and smiled brightly: "It's done. That guy is really sleeping in at home."

"Jiang Jie, are you looking for him to lose money?" someone booed.

"Playing cards depends on good luck, and he won every time." Jiang Jie was not convinced.

A few players who wanted to play mahjong were waiting for Zhou Ruiyun to come, Jiang Jie walked up to Fang Wei and asked, "Aren't you leaving now?"

"Let me fix it, it should be done in one afternoon." Fang Wei said.

Jiang Jie wondered, it was rare to see this kind of owner who was willing to sit all afternoon and wait for the car to be repaired, but the customer is God, what is said is what.

Fang Wei lowered his head to play with his mobile phone, while eavesdropping on their conversation, the few people chatted in different places, and the topic was no longer about Zhou Ruiyun.

After about 10 minutes, someone got impatient: "Why hasn't Zhou Ruiyun come?"

"Send me a WeChat message a minute ago, saying it's coming soon." Jiang Jie comforted.

After the voice fell, footsteps were heard.

"Hey, why are you coming so slowly?" the person who had urged just now complained immediately.

Fang Wei looked up, and there was a person coming in at the door. Against the light, he squinted his eyes to see the other person's face clearly, and his heart was mixed for a moment.

–tbc–

There will be more tomorrow.should.perhaps.possible.try to...

Zhou Ruiyun was not surprised to see Fang Wei sitting there, nor did he show any embarrassment.He greeted Jiang Jie and the others with a normal expression, and he could tell that they were all acquaintances in a few words.

Jiang Jie raised his arm and pointed over, "Here, is that your friend?"

Zhou Ruiyun paused for a few seconds, then stepped forward with his long legs, and arrived in front of Fang Wei, "Why didn't you leave?"

Fang Wei looked up at him and said, "I'll wait for Master Yang to finish it."

"Lao Yang's speed is slow, and he probably has to wait until dark." Zhou Ruiyun reminded.

Fang Wei lowered his head, remained silent for a few seconds, and then spoke in a rare and tough tone: "Then wait until it gets dark."

It seemed to be throwing a tantrum.But Zhou Ruiyun didn't do anything wrong, he just didn't want to accompany him to repair the car, but he was called out by a friend on the phone playing cards.

I am not his friend.Fang Wei thought, Zhou Ruiyun didn't consider himself a friend.

Jiang Jie called people into the room, set up a mahjong table, and called a little girl to help her watch the business and customers outside.

When passing by Fang Wei, he kindly asked: "I don't know how to fight, do you want to go in and have a look? It's easy to get started, just take a look and you'll be fine."

Fang Wei expected Zhou Ruiyun to say this, but the man entered the inner room early and sat down, ignoring him at all.

"Okay, thank you." Fang Wei stood up and walked inside with Jiang Jie.

The room is small, the air conditioner is on, and the air conditioning is sufficient, making people get goosebumps from the cold.

"I'll bring you a plastic stool to sit next to. The chair probably won't fit." Jiang Jie handed over a stool.

Fang Wei took it, said thank you, and sat between Jiang Jie and Zhou Ruiyun, facing the corner of the Sifang table.

The mahjong machine was rumbling and shuffling the tiles automatically.Zhou Ruiyun took a cigarette out of the cigarette case, glanced at Fang Wei, and said, "Would you like to play with me?"

"He won't." Jiang Jie laughed, "I asked him to come in and take a look. It's boring to sit outside anyway."

Fang Wei was a little embarrassed.There were five people in this room, and the other four were acquaintances. It seemed superfluous and abrupt for him to intervene.

I can't even hide my thoughts.

Zhou Ruiyun stared at him for a few seconds, as if trying to see through him, but in the end he just said, "Sit over here, I'm a better player than Jiang Jie."

Jiang Jie made a gesture to hit him, and said angrily, "Fang Wei, don't listen to him, I'll teach you."

Fang Wei's heart was beating non-stop, and Zhou Ruiyun had the ability to teach his heart and emotions to go up and down with a single sentence, completely out of his control.

He moved the stool obediently and sat next to Zhou Ruiyun, only a palm away.

Jiang Jie was angry, and arranged: "You see, Zhou Ruiyun has to learn how to play cards badly. He looks serious, but he is actually very slippery."

The sound of the mahjong table stopped, and several people began to look at their own cards.

"It's very slippery." Opposite Jiang Jie was a man wearing glasses, and he laughed twice, "It looks serious on the outside, but it's really bad on the inside."

"I guess falling in love is a bad thing, isn't it, Jiang Jie?" said another woman at the card table.

Fang Wei raised his head to look at her, the man's eyes were full of laughter and teasing.

Jiang Jie was dealing with his own cards, and said without raising his head: "Sister Wang, what are you asking me for? I don't know if Zhou Ruiyun was bad or bad when he was in a relationship, so don't play tricks on me."

The woman named Sister Wang smiled, twisted a card, and said, "Yes, you don't know. Four of a kind."

The poker game started, the topic drifted away, and they talked about other things.Fang Wei was still immersed in Sister Wang's unclear words, her eyes glanced back and forth between Jiang Jie and Zhou Ruiyun from time to time.

"Fang Wei, aren't you peeking at my cards?" Jiang Jie keenly noticed his eyes.

"No." Fang Wei explained, "I didn't peek."

"It's fine, but you can't secretly message Zhou Ruiyun." Jiang Jie said.

Zhou Ruiyun: "He can't fight, and he can't understand, how can he spread the news?"

This is only the first game, Fang Wei really didn't see the way of mahjong.

Jiang Jie spit out the gum in his mouth and smoked a cigarette: "I just tease him."

"Didn't you quit smoking?" Sister Wang said after seeing her smoking.

"Can't quit." Jiang Jie lit the cigarette skillfully, and shook the cigarette case at Fang Wei, "Would you like one?"

Fang Wei shook his head and said, "I don't smoke."

"I can't play mahjong, and I can't smoke." Jiang Jie suddenly smiled, "Zhou Ruiyun, you still have such an innocent classmate."

Zhou Ruiyun ignored her, turned his head to Fang Wei and said, "Go get me a bottle of water from the refrigerator in the hall outside."

Several people shouted, "I want it, I want it too."

Fang Wei nodded, stood up and walked out, Jiang Jie said from behind: "There is ice cream in the frozen layer, you can eat it, it's free."

Fang Wei took four bottles of water, thought for a while, and took another ice cream.Going back and pushing open the door, she saw Jiang Jie was lighting Zhou Ruiyun's cigarette. The woman's whole body was tilted. From Fang Wei's perspective, she seemed to be close to each other.

His footsteps stopped, and he was stunned at the door.Sister Wang waved and said, "Why don't you come in?"

The two had already finished lighting their cigarettes and separated.Fang Wei turned slowly like a rusty roulette and walked over.

"Oh, I really know how to choose. I picked an expensive one." Jiang Jie looked at the Haagen-Dazs in his hand, "I bought this for my sister."

Fang Weicai sat down and was about to lift the lid of the ice cream. Hearing this, he was not sure what she meant and felt embarrassed.

Zhou Ruiyun took a puff of cigarette, patted Fang Wei's head with his free hand, and said, "Eat yours, leave her alone."

Fang Wei felt that his heartbeat was going to be overloaded today, and the top of his head seemed to be smoking. It was so hot that he took a big mouthful of ice cream and it didn't come down.

After playing a few rounds of mahjong, we are waiting for the machine to shuffle the cards.Several other people took the opportunity to go to the bathroom, and Jiang Jie went outside to check on the business situation.Zhou Ruiyun sat there without moving, and asked, "How do you see it? Have you learned it yet?"

Fang Wei smiled and said, "How can it be so fast."

"Come here later, you can learn quickly by trying it yourself. I'll help you read the cards." Zhou Ruiyun dusted off the cigarette.

Fang Wei couldn't refuse, and said, "Okay."

No one has come back yet.They were silent for a while, Zhou Ruiyun asked again: "Is it delicious?"

Fang Wei was stirring the ice cream with a spoon unconsciously, turning it into a pool of thick water.

"It's delicious, do you want to try it?" He replied, and suddenly his mind jumped out of the shared cigarette when he and Zhou Ruiyun had dinner the night before and the other party taught him to smoke.His face couldn't help but burn red.

Zhou Ruiyun waved his hand: "Forget it, it's too sweet."

Just as Fang Wei was about to refute, the rest of the players came back one after another, and the game started again.

Fang Wei and Zhou Ruiyun switched positions.Jiang Jie said, "What. Did you learn everything?"

"I'll help him read the cards." Zhou Ruiyun said.

Fang Wei ate the ice cream in threes and fives, and picked up the cards.He has been to casinos, played dice, roulette, and baccarat, and he is considered a good player, but this is the first time he has personally encountered mahjong, and he is in a fog.

Zhou Ruiyun's arms stretched out and rested on the back of Fang Wei's chair, which seemed to wrap around his shoulders.Fang Wei couldn't see it, but he might feel it. He played his cards half-heartedly, and made a mistake if he didn't pay attention.

"Touch." Jiang Jie exclaimed excitedly.

Zhou Ruiyun pointed out: "It's a mistake, change to this."

"Hey." Jiang Jie quit, "If you still bring such a thing, you will not regret it. Pay attention to the principles of card table counting."

"Novices, relax a bit," Zhou Ruiyun said.

"You are already a consultant by the side, can you still be considered a novice?" Jiang Jie kicked up, the first few legs under the table were propped up, she couldn't see, and kicked Fang Wei's feet.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Jiang Jie quickly apologized.

"It's okay." Fang Wei smiled and shook his head.

Zhou Ruiyun and Jiang Jie continued to quarrel, and it was the first time Fang Wei saw Zhou Ruiyun like this—a bit like a rascal.

They must be very close.Is a good friend, or some other close relationship.

Zhou Ruiyun reached out and brought back the wrong card, Jiang Jie took the cigarette out of his mouth, pressed it into the ashtray, and said: "You're cheating on me, then don't even think about smoking my cigarette today." .”

Fang Wei felt sour for a while, and didn't tell Zhou Ruiyun just now that the ice cream was not sweet at all, it tasted like mango, pure and sour.

Fang Wei's mind is not stupid, and the rookie's playing is not bad, and with the guidance of an expert, he won a few rounds.Sister Wang drank water to moisten her throat, and glanced at her mobile phone while drawing cards, her face suddenly changed, and her mouth smelled of gunpowder, and she said, "Zhou Ruiyun, you are fine, we are still thinking about catching a young newcomer today, your elbow Waiguai, help outsiders."

These words were too exclusive, Fang Wei glanced at her.Sister Wang's nails were painted with bright red nail polish, and half of them fell off, leaving mottled spots.

Zhou Ruiyun pointed to a card and asked Fang Wei to play it, and replied: "If he loses money, it is mine. Of course I have to sell some strength."

"Since when did you say that the money will be yours? Nine cylinders." Jiang Jie played a card.

"Just said." Zhou Ruiyun replied.

Sister Wang sneered and threw the mahjong loudly.

Jiang Jie knew it, and asked, "Your husband isn't coming back today?"

"Don't care about him, he's been fascinated by a bitch." Sister Wang said angrily.

Fang Wei understood that the anger of the emotional people was not aimed at him, but just vented out by himself.

Zhou Ruiyun patted the back of his hand to remind him to concentrate.Fang Wei quickly straightened his back, like a well-behaved student who was caught, playing cards seriously with red ears.

In the evening, Lao Yang knocked on the door and came in, saying that the car had been modified.

Fang Wei said hello, gave up the half-played game to Zhou Ruiyun, and followed him out to have a look.

Come back and the lap is just over.Jiang Jie asked: "How is it? Are you satisfied?"

"Very satisfied, thank you." Fang Wei smiled.

"That's good." Jiang Jie pushed the mahjong, "Let's call here today, I ordered the dishes from Xunweifang, and I will stay for dinner tonight."

Fang Wei stood aside.Jiang Jie looked at him again and said, "You can stay and eat together."

"No need." Fang Wei said, he was not familiar with these people at all, they were just casual poker friends, so he didn't have the nerve to stay for dinner.

His thick skin was only shown in front of Zhou Ruiyun.

"Okay, are you going now?"

"Well, I'll leave after paying the money." Fang Wei glanced at Zhou Ruiyun.

"Okay, be careful on the road. We'll play cards next time when we have time." Jiang Jie said politely.

"OK Bye Bye."

"Zhou Ruiyun, why don't you get up and see your classmate off?" Jiang Jie shouted at the man sitting on the chair smoking a cigarette when Fang Wei was about to leave.

Zhou Ruiyun, who had been silent all this time, stood up slowly, stretched his arms, put out the cigarette, and said, "I'll take you out."

Fang Wei felt both bitterness and joy in his heart, and it was hard to figure out which was the most when mixed together, so he just said softly: "Yes."

Zhou Ruiyun sent him out, the sky in the summer evening was very beautiful, with fire clouds hanging in the sky, translucent red.

"The modification is very nice." Fang Wei pointed to the car to show him, "I treat you to dinner when you have time, thank you."

Having said that, Fang Wei already vaguely understood that Zhou Ruiyun would probably just refuse perfunctorily.

"Okay, I'm free the day after tomorrow." However, I got this answer.

"Huh?" Fang Wei immediately raised his head, his eyes widened in disbelief, "The day after tomorrow?"

"What? You don't have time?"

Fang Wei quickly shook his head, subconsciously replied: "I have time."

"Then the day after tomorrow, you decide the location." Zhou Ruiyun stretched out his hand and waved in front of his eyes, "Be careful on the road."

Fang Wei said goodbye to him, walked a few steps and then turned back, with a suspicious tone: "You just said that you are free the day after tomorrow?"

Zhou Ruiyun seemed to smile.It was a little far away, and it was backlit again. Fang Wei really didn't see it clearly, but felt a smile in his tone: "Yes, the day after tomorrow."

Fang Wei's footsteps suddenly lightened up. Although this day after tomorrow was definitely just a perfunctory and polite remark, he was still happy at this moment.
