Pavlov's dog

After dinner in the evening, the rest of the people left.Jiang Jie was clearing up leftovers and tables, while Zhou Ruiyun sat aside.

"That Fang Wei is really your classmate?" Jiang Jie asked while stacking the plates.

"Ah."

"I haven't heard you mention it."

"Is there anything to mention, I'm not very familiar with it."

Jiang Jie teased: "I like you, so you don't know me well?"

Zhou Ruiyun was looking at her mobile phone, when she heard this, she raised her head and glanced at her: "How do you know?"

"Obviously." Jiang Jie raised his voice, "What about you? Looking at you like that, are you playing tricks?"

"Is this also obvious?" Zhou Ruiyun asked back.

Jiang Jie tilted his head and thought for a while, then turned to stare at him: "The authorities are obsessed, he shouldn't be able to see it. That person looks quite innocent, you really have a bellyful of bad water, and you have to tease others."

Zhou Ruiyun smiled shortly: "I came together by myself, it's not for nothing, isn't it?"

The light beams formed a line, and Zhou Ruiyun's face was completely visible in it, which was treacherous and dangerous.

Jiang Jie turned around to wipe the table, and changed the subject: "Are you going to my place at night?"

She asked casually, dutifully following the identity of a friend with benefits.

Zhou Ruiyun stood up and said, "No, I have an appointment with the doctor tomorrow morning, and I will take my mother for an examination."

"Why check again?"

"The leg hurts again, go and see."

"Okay, then you go back now?" Jiang Jie said, "I have nutritional products from customers here, and it's useless to leave them alone. You can take them back to your mother."

Jiang Jie sent the person to the door and watched Zhou Ruiyun disappear into the night.She leaned against the door frame and didn't enter the door for a long time.

When Fang Wei came home, she saw a pair of women's high-heeled shoes at the entrance. Fang's mother was sitting on the sofa watching TV. It was a variety show, and the chatter was annoying.

"I'm back." Fang's mother greeted her in surprise, "Where did you go? Today is the weekend."

"Go out with friends." Fang Wei changed his shoes, "Why didn't you tell me when you came here?"

"I've only been here for a while." Mother Fang went to the kitchen, "Have you had dinner yet? Aunt Zhan made pigeon soup today. You like it, so I brought some over."

"I've eaten." Fang Wei walked to the table and sat down. When he came back from the repair shop, he had a casual meal in the restaurant downstairs, "I don't want to trouble you for such a thing."

Fang's mother served him a bowl of soup: "I'll come and see my son and give me some soup. Is it troublesome?"

Fang Wei didn't talk back to her.He knew that his mother came here to check the guards, and he was worried that he would live alone, so he secretly assigned a key, and would "come uninvited" every now and then.

"Which friend did you go out with? Xie Heng?" Fang's mother stroked her son's hair, "What does this smell like on you?"

"It's not Xie Heng. I went to play racing with other friends. You don't know him." Fang Wei lied without telling the truth.

"Fun and play, pay attention to safety." Mother Fang reminded him.

"Got it." Fang Wei buried his face in the bowl and drank the soup, listening to his mother.

Mother Fang stayed until after ten o'clock in the evening before leaving.As soon as he went out, Fang Wei took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat to Zhou Ruiyun (searched through the mobile phone number, Fang Wei took the initiative to add Zhou Ruiyun's WeChat before) - "I'm home, what are you doing?"

One night passed and no reply was received.Fang Wei sincerely hopes that WeChat can have a "read" function to let him know whether the other party has read it or not.

Maybe he fell asleep.Fang Wei comforted herself like this.

However, there was no reply the next morning.Fang Wei was frustrated, would modern people not look at their phones for more than ten hours?Obviously don't want to deal with it.

But he still mustered up his courage, and sent another message during lunch: "Tomorrow night at 07:30, can I meet you on Xiawuxi Road? There are some good shops there."

I didn't receive a reply until [-]:[-] in the afternoon. Zhou Ruiyun said, "Sorry, I have something to do tomorrow night."

Again!Fang Wei read the reply letter word by word, and his heart sank to the bottom of the sea.He said he was free the day after tomorrow, but let the pigeons go.

Fang Wei didn't reply to Zhou Ruiyun's message for the first time, and he turned off his phone, feeling a bit of unspeakable grievance.

-tbc-

On a busy Monday, Fang Wei lay on her desk.The screen of the mobile phone has automatically dimmed, and I stared at it without blinking. Thinking about the replies I just received, I was put on pigeons one after another, and I was inevitably a little angry and a little discouraged.

"What? Are you sleepy?" Tan Xiyuan happened to pass by him, saw him slumped in front of the table, and handed him a bottle of soft drink.

Fang Wei straightened his shoulders and said with a slight nasal voice, "Brother Tan, did you just come back from outside?"

Tan Xiyuan moved a chair and spun it around, and sat opposite Fang Wei: "Well, I've been running all day. Why are you lying here? Are you feeling unwell?"

Fang Wei's eyes were red and listless, but he still pretended to shake his head: "No."

Tan Xiyuan could see that he was in a bad mood, but the other party didn't want to tell the reason, so he didn't ask further.He stood up and said, "Then work hard."

"Well, thank you for the Coke." Fang Wei picked up the cold Coke on the table and said, "By the way, Brother Tan, what's the matter with your mouth?"

Tan Xiyuan paused in his footsteps, and when he turned around, his lower lip was torn, which was very conspicuous: "I accidentally bit on something while eating."

Fang Wei snorted and nodded.

As soon as Tan Xiyuan left, the girl chair at the desk behind Fang Wei stepped back, leaned over, and patted him on the shoulder.

"Hey, did you ask on purpose or do you really not know?" The girl was two or three years older than Fang Wei, and Fang Wei called her Sister Mengmeng.

"What?" Fang Wei didn't know why.

Mengmeng looked at him suspiciously, and said in a low voice, "You are too innocent, Brother Tang's lips were obviously bitten."

"Been bitten?"

The girl on Fang Wei's left also sat over and echoed, "That's right, it's obviously because the kiss was too intense, and the traces left by the uncontrollable passion."

Fang Wei: "No way..."

"Brother Tan didn't know when he was talking about a girlfriend. It's really good to hide it." Mengmeng said, "It looks like a savage girlfriend, and it can bite so hard."

Another girl slapped her reproachfully: "It's really pornographic."

"That's right." Mengmeng refused to accept it.

But the girl on the left said surprisingly: "Bite so hard, maybe it's a domineering boyfriend with a particularly possessive desire."

Mengmeng grabbed her face and said, "Stop looking at those weird things, what are you thinking about?"

Several girls made a fuss.Fang Wei suddenly thought of Xie Heng.

Xie Heng also worked, and was taken into his own company to work from nine to five every day, as if he was in jail.He can't slip away during working hours, so he just plays games in the office.A few days ago, I caught Tan Xiyuan in a bar, and got his mobile phone number, and the harassment continued every day.

Xie Heng was swiping the screen to chat with Tan Xiyuan when a call came from his cell phone, yo, he whistled.

"Why did you think of looking for your brother?" Xie Heng asked.

Fang Wei fished in the company's tea room and made a phone call: "I suddenly thought of it."

"I still remember the last time I was thrown into the bar by myself." Xie Heng was annoyed, "Why is someone in such a hurry to ask you out? As soon as I stepped out of the bathroom, I disappeared."

Fang Wei was silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "That's the one."

"Which one?" Xie Heng thought for a few seconds, "Oh, Big Sister Gao Leng."

Fang Wei felt depressed, and when she heard the big sister Gao Leng, she couldn't help laughing at Zhou Ruiyun's sharp and indifferent face.

Hearing this laughter, Xie Heng got goosebumps: "Do you want to do this, Fang Fang, just mentioning a word, you laugh so loudly, is there any progress? How many bases? Hey, I said, are you still a virgin? Home plate Beforehand, I suggest you ask me to do your homework to avoid embarrassment."

"What's home plate and not home plate..." Fang Wei was so embarrassing, he couldn't stand the joke, and thinking about the progress of his and Zhou Ruiyun's development, he said dejectedly, "I didn't even touch hands, okay?"

Xie Heng was amazed: "Didn't even touch your hands? Your progress is too slow, I'll even kiss you..." Suddenly the voice stopped.

"Who did you kiss?" Fang Wei frowned.

"Who could it be?" Xie Heng said, "Lynn."

Fang Wei: "!"

"Oh, that's all right, tell me what's going on between you and Big Sister Gao Leng?"

"What's the situation between you and Lynn?" Fang Wei didn't let him go.

He vaguely guessed that the wound on Tan Xiyuan's lip was caused by Xie Heng.

Xie Heng laughed: "What do you care so much about, what does Lynn have to do with you?"

Naturally, Fang Wei couldn't say that he was his immediate superior, so he could only warn him secretly: "You are a bit modest, Brother Lynn is very nice, don't play with him."

Xie Heng said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, this Lynn can't be your ex-girlfriend, right? So protective."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Xie Heng joked with him, but Fang Wei still told Xie Heng about his contact with Zhou Ruiyun in the past two days.

After Xie Heng listened, it took him a while to say anything: "Tell me not to play with Lynn, but Fang Fang, you are not being played by others, are you?"

Fang Wei said unhappily, "How could that be?"

Xie Heng crackled a lot: "This tall and cold big sister is obviously a femme fatale, with thorns and poison, and her rank is quite a bit higher than yours, so she is just playing around with you."

"..." Fang Wei couldn't tell for a moment when he thought about his contact with Zhou Ruiyun these few times.

Likes can paralyze people's nerves and fascinate the eyes, but after being reminded by others, the truth gradually becomes clear.But Fang Wei still had a little thought and refused to give up: "Not necessarily, maybe his personality is like this..."

Xie Heng said sternly: "Now don't rush to contact people. I think it's better to have less contact with this person. If you are a bastard, don't be eaten by others until you don't have any bones left, thinking that the other party really likes you Woolen cloth."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Wei squatted in the tea room without moving for a long time.He heard every word Xie Heng said, but it was difficult to accept the fact that they were composed together.He turned on his phone to watch the chat with Zhou Ruiyun during this period of time.

The other party occasionally does not reply, occasionally replies indifferently, and sometimes speaks ambiguously.The mind is unpredictable, and it turns a thousand times.Fang Wei was indeed not his opponent and was directly KO'd.

He squatted there for a long time, the light above was blocked, he looked up.

"Why are you squatting here again?" Tan Xiyuan came out to make coffee and saw someone squatting in the tea room. He looked closer and saw that it was Fang Wei. He couldn't laugh or cry, "What happened today?"

Fang Wei got up quickly, getting up violently, his eyes darkened, and gradually became clear: "It's okay, I just...just want to be lazy."

"Lazy..." Tan Xiyuan laughed, "All right, if you steal a little longer, I won't report you."

"I'm going back to work." Fang Wei smiled shyly and walked out with Tan Xiyuan.

While walking, he peeked at Tan Xiyuan's lips, the injury was really obvious - it was bitten by Xie Heng.

Fang Wei thought of the truth, but couldn't make up the picture.Brother Tan and Xie Heng have progressed so quickly, are they going to be together?

No way.He had only met a few times, but Tan Xiyuan seemed to be a straight man again, and he heard from the company people that he had a girlfriend before.How could he be willing to mess with Xie Heng.

Everything is complicated.Fang Wei's mind was overloaded and he was too lazy to think about it.

When it was time to get off work, Fang Wei slowly packed up his things, returning all the materials and tools on the table to their original positions.Sister Zhang, Mengmeng and other colleagues in the office greeted him: "Fang Wei, let's go first."

"Goodbye." Fang Wei raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

When the person left, the corners of his mouth drooped again, his face was sad and depressed.

After leaving the office and waiting for the elevator, the phone in his pocket rang, but he didn't look at it.Squeezed into the elevator to the company's public parking lot, and waited to get in the car before taking out the phone.

It was a WeChat message, sent by Zhou Ruiyun.Fang Wei's dull eyes widened instantly, and he hurriedly unlocked it.

Before he had time to look, the phone rang, and it was still Zhou Ruiyun.

"Why didn't you reply to WeChat?" Zhou Ruiyun cut to the chase, "Aren't you happy?"

The electric current transmits the sound, which is a layer of hazy tenderness and magnetism.Fang Wei felt that all her grievances and sorrows were poured out in this sentence "I'm not happy", so that her voice was hoarse when she spoke.

"I'm not unhappy. I've been working and haven't seen WeChat." He lied, but his tone gave him away.

There was a bit of fatigue in Zhou Ruiyun's voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't intentionally let you go. There is a dinner at work tomorrow night. I have to go at short notice."

"Oh..." Fang Wei was not sure whether the words were true or not.

Zhou Ruiyun hummed.

The two of them suddenly fell silent through the phone, only the barely audible breathing of the other was left in their ears.

"Then make an appointment next time, okay?" Finally Zhou Ruiyun asked first.

Fang Wei clutched his mobile phone, the pale lights in the parking lot were a bit dim, he stared at the dirt marks on the wall pillars, and answered after a while: "When is the next time?"

With a little resentment and stubbornness.

Zhou Ruiyun paused almost imperceptibly: "You set the time."

"Is it okay the day after tomorrow?"

"There may be something the day after tomorrow..."

Fang Wei blinked slowly: "What about this Friday? Or the weekend?"

"Next week. I've been..." Zhou Ruiyun said.

This is simply perfunctory, I have the cheek to push forward again and again, and the opponent retreats step by step.

Fang Wei suddenly raised his voice: "If you don't want to meet with me, just tell me, there's no need to."

His brain was congested, and he yelled out this furious sentence in one breath. Before the other party could react, he hung up the phone directly.

Fang Wei leaned on the seat, the phone slipped into the blanket on the car, the courage dissipated in an instant, and the whole figure was suffering from a fever, panting for breath and not moving for a long time.

The phone sang cheerfully again, Fang Wei looked down and saw the word Zhou Ruiyun jumping and flashing on the screen.

I don't want to pick it up.I don't want to be rushed to be manipulated by others.But he still reached out and picked up the phone.

After connecting, no one spoke.Fang Wei held it in front of his eyes and looked at it. He was indeed on the phone.He thought for a while, and said in a calm voice, "Sorry, I accidentally pressed the hang up button just now."

This is naturally a lie full of loopholes, and both parties know it well.Zhou Ruiyun said: "Well. I really have something to do this week, and I have to go on a business trip in two days."

"Oh." Fang Wei said.

Zhou Ruiyun was playing with a lighter when the clicking sound suddenly stopped.

"If you have time on Friday, how about going together?"

Fang Weiwei was startled: "What do you mean?"

"It's a business trip, but I actually took the opportunity to travel by car. If you don't mind, you can come together." Zhou Ruiyun explained a long list.

It took Fang Wei a while to understand what it meant: "Isn't that bad... Are you the only one?"

"There is another colleague who brought friends, but I don't know him either."

"I..." Fang Wei's brain hadn't come to life yet, but he said impatiently first, "Okay, I'll ask the leader for leave first."

"Yeah." Zhou Ruiyun played with the lighter again.Pa Pa Pa Pa, "Please take a break and tell me."

This is going too fast.The willows are dark and the flowers are bright, and the peaks and turns.Fang Wei hung up the phone and sat in the car, his emotions soared all the way, and he suddenly floated from the bottom of the valley to the clouds.

It's easy to ask for leave, and he was approved by his superiors after submitting it in the office OA.So I sent another WeChat to inform Zhou Ruiyun, and the other party replied: "Well, I will tell you the time and place on Thursday."

This matter seemed unreal, Fang Wei was in a trance for several days.Taking the elevator after get off work on Thursday night, Tan Xiyuan couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and asked why he was so happy these two days.

Fang Wei just smiled and said it was nothing.

The ending sound is a word "Ya", which is soft and sweet.Tan Xiyuan's eyes were so sharp that he couldn't see anything.The elevator door opened, and there were a few stray cats in the parking lot, babbling like spring.

"It seems that spring is coming." Tan Xiyuan teased.

Fang Wei's ears turned red when he was told, and he glanced at his lips. The scar from being bitten was almost healed, and the color was so pale that it could hardly be seen clearly.

"Is Brother Tan's spring coming soon?" Fang Wei rarely teased his boss.

Tan Xiyuan touched the corner of his mouth following his gaze, and smiled helplessly: "Winter is almost here. I'll go first, be careful on the road."

Fang Wei stopped asking maliciously and waved goodbye to him.
