Chapter 21 Chapter 21

Xie Jiao held Huang Zhengming's arm, a gloomy look flashed in her eyes, "Honey, isn't that just a cleaner, what do you like about him?"

"Although he is just a cleaner, his English is very good, which shows that he has never given up on improving himself. People around him are messing around, and it is rare for him to be able to stay sober. As long as such a person is given a chance, he will definitely be able to help him Yes." Huang Zheng will pass forty next year, and he dotes on this delicate wife very much, and he is coaxing him patiently at this time, "When I get older, when I see such a person, I think of myself in the past, and I can't help but want to get along with him." Bundle."

Xie Jiao bit her lips, and asked how they met. Although she was still acting like a baby on the surface, her heart was beating violently, and fear invaded her internal organs.

"Husband, that person is actually from the same high school as me." Xie Jiao hesitated for a moment, before opening her mouth. Du Yu's existence meant nothing to her, and she couldn't take such a risk.

"Ok?"

"Did you know he was in jail?"

"Well, I heard from him that he was caught in a fight. I don't think it's a big problem. It's normal to have impulsiveness when he was young. Now he seems to be very calm."

"But the person he hit was Jiang Dong." Xie Jiao opened and closed her red lips, and said these words lightly.

Huang Zhengming stopped, "Which Director Jiang?"

"Who else is there, the one with the most ruthless hands."

"How could he have anything to do with Jiang Dong? Jiang Dong didn't graduate from No. [-] Middle School..." Huang Zhengming couldn't believe it. He knew Jiang Dong's methods best.

"I don't know about that. At that time, Chairman Jiang was a gangster before he made a fortune. It's not surprising that they are all ignorant and inexperienced." Xie Jiao said pretending to be indifferent, and glanced at Huang Zhengming's face. His face turned pale, and he said, "At that time, this incident was quite a big one. Chairman Jiang was seriously injured. I guess I still remember this account... If it happens in the future, I can't tell."

Huang Zhengming looked embarrassed, "Actually, I'm doing this to help an acquaintance. I'm afraid it's not good to regret it at this time."

Xie Jiao didn't expect such an incident, so she hurriedly asked, "Who?"

"You don't know him. His name is Chen Xu. He just returned to China this year."

Xie Jiao searched in her mind, and found that she didn't have any impression of this name, so she should not be a famous person in this city, "Then he will develop in the country in the future?"

"That's not true. I heard that he will continue to study."

"Then don't worry, just make up a reason to prevaricate, after all, Jiang Dong can't offend." Xie Jiao raised her volume a little, her tone was a little urging, in her opinion, a person who is a bookworm can't make trouble.

After work, Chen Xu called on time and told Du Yu that he was waiting in the parking lot.Du Yu floated to the parking lot with one foot deep and one foot shallow, opened the car door and sat in in a daze.

"What's the matter?" Chen Xu asked, Du Yu looked strange.

Du Yu opened his mouth and didn't know what to say. He paused for a long time before saying, "It's okay."

The two went to a hot pot restaurant. There were many customers in the restaurant, and the surroundings were bustling, but the atmosphere from their angle was a bit dull.This meal was really embarrassing, Du Yu tried his best to be normal, and tried to find a topic, but Chen Xu didn't answer the conversation, just looked at Du Yu thoughtfully.Du Yu couldn't hold on alone, so he just shut up and concentrated on eating.

On the way back, the two of them didn't communicate much until the car stopped. Du Yu thanked him and was about to get out of the car. Chen Xu grabbed Du Yu's hand.

Du Yu: "?"

Chen Xu was not in a hurry to speak, but the strength in his hand was not light, and he didn't intend to let go at all.Du Yu didn't struggle, and let him grab it.

"Du Yu..." Chen Xu sighed and opened his mouth, "Can't you tell me what happened, I can help you."

Du Yu's little finger trembled. Chen Xu was indeed a good person to confide in. He also had the urge to pick himself apart from bone to skin...but it was just a thought. Chen Xu would return to the United States soon. , you can't rely on him to ask for it again and again.

Seeing that Du Yu kept silent, Chen Xu let go of Du Yu and said, "I regret it now, I should have approached you in high school... At that time you could get along with anyone, if I let go of my reserve and told you more In other words, it doesn’t have to be so difficult now.”

This has been said very blatantly, but it's just that they went to cram school together, ordinary people would want to stubbornly get closer to each other, no matter how stupid Du Yu is, he can still hear Chen Xu's subtext.

There was no music playing in the car, and the embarrassment was almost solidified.Du Yu looked through the windshield at the front of the car and stared at a certain point. In fact, he didn't think about it at all. He felt that he needed to think about Chen Xu's words carefully, but now his whole body was a puddle of paste. Thoughts can only be stored in my mind for less than three seconds.

"Chen Xu...you..." Realizing that he had been silent for too long, Du Yu stammered and opened his mouth.

"Don't think too much about it, I just care about my old classmates." Chen Xu snapped back, turning his face slightly to the outside of the car.

Du Yu wanted to laugh, but there was no smile at all. The words buried in his heart for a long time blurted out: "Your old classmates don't say hundreds of things, can you care about the past one by one?"

After finishing speaking, Du Yu regretted it. Chen Xu didn't have any malice towards him. This sentence was really too much. He pinched his palm hard: "Chen Xu...that's not what I meant..."

Du Yu couldn't continue, he didn't even understand what he meant.

Chen Xu turned his head, there was no light in the car, only his outline could be seen.He probably sighed, but Du Yu couldn't hear it clearly, and felt a knot in his heart and softened inexplicably.

"It's hard to accept." Chen Xu rested his fingers on the steering wheel, and made a few eager clicks indiscriminately—his irritability only leaked out for a moment, and he quickly put it away, his tone was flat, " ... The old classmates are just a cover, I don't care whether my other classmates are dead or alive, I just like you so I can't help but want to get close to you."

Chen Xu paused, then continued, "I didn't dare to think about breaking you or anything, I just..."

Chen Xu couldn't continue speaking again, and patted the steering wheel with his hand, not too hard but just a little surprised, then he dug out a pack of cigarettes and lit one.

Chen Xu is addicted to cigarettes. Even if he has been in school, he has passed the age of aloofness. He has to support himself in every aspect. Smoking under depression has become a way to release.

But the opportunity for him to start smoking was much earlier than that.

There were a few smoking boys in the cram school, including Du Yu, who slipped to the toilet in twos and threes to smoke in tacit agreement during recess, and then came back chatting, laughing and fighting.When Chen Xu went to the toilet, Du Yu would move him to make room if he thought he was in the way.

Chen Xu bought cigarettes and practiced a few times, but he still couldn't pretend to step out naturally to have "recess activities" with them, just like he didn't take off the headphones without music.

Chen Xu took only a few puffs before pinching the cigarette, "I felt like a pervert in high school, and I was afraid of being seen by you, so I only dared to look at you secretly... This time too, if you live well, I will definitely I won't bother you, and now I just want to stand by and see you."

Over the years, Chen Xu had mixed up the passing mark in dealing with people, but now that he was full of words, it was difficult to pick a suitable sentence, and the last words he uttered were full of foolishness and childishness.

The indescribable obsession has been repeated thousands of times, and accumulated for several years, it has long since turned into a scar that will not heal. Let alone gouging it out, it hurts badly just by looking at it.

He thought in his heart—the dark things were exposed after all, and everything came to an end here.

I tried my best to maintain my mouth, not letting myself say any more uncontrollable words, and I could only keep repeating, "I just hope you can live better."

Du Yu understood. No wonder Chen Xu learned that he had a new job and was going back to the United States. He felt that he no longer needed him when he was back on track.

Du Yu felt pain in his heart. At first he wondered why Chen Xu wanted to approach him, and he had some vague guesses, so he politely opened the distance between the two of them. Later, various things happened, and when he was sad and lonely You can see Chen Xu when you turn around, this feeling is too warm, he has long been addicted to it and can't extricate himself.

... The line he drew had long been erased, but Chen Xu didn't notice it.

When Chen Xu was in high school, he was really cold and cold, and he didn't like to talk to anyone. There was a cool feeling of "everyone is drunk but I am alone" hanging on every eyelash.Such a person can always follow him with patience, the meaning of which is self-evident.

This feeling was profound and strong, but Du Yu couldn't respond - he himself was still in the mud, how dare he drag Chen Xu to soak himself in the mud with him.

There was a smell of smoke in the car, and Du Yu's eyes felt a little dry. He wondered aimlessly whether the smell of smoke could also stimulate the lacrimal glands.

When he couldn't distinguish the smell of smoke, Chen Xu opened his mouth first, and was interrupted by Du Yu just after he said the word "Du".

"I'm in a bad mood today and I can't control it... Actually, it's nothing serious, but I'm just worried that I won't be able to be Mr. Huang's assistant. After all, I only do cleaning." Du Yu squeezed out a dry smile and pretended that nothing happened Pass.

In the darkness, Du Yu wasn't sure if Chen Xu had glanced at him, and then Chen Xu lowered the car window, and the cold wind that ran in made their scalps tighten.

Chen Xu started to speak, his voice became low and hoarse, "It's okay, take your time, you will not be worse than others."

The content was a standard polite template, but what Chen Xu said was particularly poignant.The feeling of suffocation brought about by meeting Xie Jiao again has long since dissipated, and what remains is the soft and tender heart towards Chen Xu, and the helplessness attached to it.

Du Yu was trying to make himself speak naturally when he remembered the cell phone in his pocket and frantically dug it out to see that it was Shi Xiaojun calling.

"Go back and rest," Chen Xu said, "Good night."

Du Yu pinched the phone, only the uncomfortable touch in his hand could keep him steady, "Well, good night."

Du Yu pushed the car door and went out. This time, Chen Xu didn't make any movement. He didn't close his eyes until he saw Du Yu's back disappearing into the night, and threw himself heavily on the back of the seat.
