There is light in the deep sea

Xie Wu chased him out, but Jiang Xichen had disappeared.He ran straight to the bathroom, and sure enough, he blocked people.

In such a large restaurant, the only place where people can stay alone for a while is the bathroom.He was sure that Jiang Xichen was the only one inside, so he decisively locked the outer door, walked up to the man, and looked at him in the mirror.

At first Jiang Xichen avoided his gaze and nodded to look at an unknown place.He just stood by his side and didn't do much.Gradually, Jiang Xichen relaxed a little, sighed weakly, and finally raised his head to meet him.After a while, the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.

"Are you curious?"

Xie Wu met his gaze from the mirror, and also smiled: "Who wouldn't be curious?"

Jiang Xichen moved his lips, and his figure seemed to be getting closer to Xie Wu.For a moment, Xie Wu almost thought that he would come to hug him, but for some reason, he didn't, instead he paused a little stiffly, with an indescribable look flashing across his face.Feeling embarrassed and embarrassed, he even put away his tendency to get close to Xie Wu.

"Actually, it's nothing." He said lightly, trying his best to make an understatement.However, because it is too deliberate, it seems unnatural.Xie Wu could tell, and he knew it, the atmosphere between the two had become delicate and awkward.

"Anyway, there is no old relationship between me and her, so you don't have to think about it." He simply speeded up his speech and explained vaguely, then looked down at his watch, as if to leave, "This time I really want to I went to see my elder brother, he is impatient, I have been out for too long, and he will definitely make trouble with me when he reacts."

"What about me?" Xie Wu called to stop him.

He was a little dull for a moment: "What?"

Xie Wu: "Aren't you going to take me to meet my parents?"

When he said this, Xie Wu kept staring at him. Seeing that he was immersed in some kind of thoughts and forgot to cover up his absent-mindedness, his heart thought before his brain and came to a conclusion - although he didn't know what the reason was, But Jiang Xichen has indeed postponed or even canceled his plan to bring him to meet his parents.

Sometimes it is not a good thing for people to understand too much. At this moment, he would rather be a teenager who is ignorant and confused, so that his mood will not fall to the bottom in a second of understanding.There were a bunch of angry questions and questions stuck in his throat, he wanted to ask him if he was shaken, if he wanted to give up; he wanted to ask him what he was thinking, why he wanted to ask him, what he couldn't say frankly...

But he couldn't bear to give him a face.

"Forget it, it's up to you." He squeezed the corner of his mouth hard, swallowing the words in his throat back into his stomach.

Jiang Xichen avoided his gaze again, lowered his eyes and said, "Then I'm leaving."

Xie Wu nodded silently and looked at him deeply.

Watching him unscrew the locked door to go out, watching his back go away, watching him seem to become a little stranger every step he takes, and then I find that my understanding of him is very shallow and passive.For so long, he knew what he showed him. If one day he suddenly closed the door, he would not be able to find the key to open it again.

He is an unfathomable ocean, when he is reckless, he can accommodate all rivers, and when he is vigilant and silent, no water will leak out.

Xie Wu sighed, raised his head and stared at the ceiling, a little weak and confused.

This kid has probably been poked on some kind of switch. He is afraid that he is about to fall ill. It is a trivial matter to refuse people for thousands of miles, and it will be troublesome to just run away.If he is so willful, no one will be reconciled, but if he wants to take the initiative to move forward, he can't find a way.

Sigh, what kind of obsession did you have back then, that you actually had the courage to be serious with him?Now that I finally stepped on the swamp ooze, I realized the feeling of being in a dilemma.

It was useless to think too much, he washed his face with boiling water and returned to his box.

The purpose of talking about drama with Zhang Jing today, of course, was nothing. Instead, I confessed my relationship with Jiang Xichen to her, and in exchange for some information-she and Jiang Xichen really didn't have any bloody relationship between men and women, and there was a big difference between them. At the age of five, she was briefly Jiang Xichen's piano teacher.

"At that time, the relationship was pretty good." Zhang Jing deliberated for a moment, and chose such an adjective that was neither painful nor itchy.

After speaking, he was afraid that Xie Wu would misunderstand, so he added an explanation: "At the beginning, he would tell me many things, and he was very dependent on me...Of course, this is not the case later. Specifically, I think it would be better for you to know from him. good."

Xie Wu's heart skipped a trace of irritability, but he could only nod his head, and it's not easy to get to the bottom of it for the time being.

After dinner, Zhang Jing left a phone number: "If you need me, you can call me anytime. Xiaochen...it's not easy." After speaking, she passed him and Yue Zhiping hugged and said goodbye, and left by herself.

Today's episode is not big, but it is by no means small.Xie Wu had mixed feelings in his heart, and nightfall made people more vulnerable. Facing Yue Zhiping, he couldn't hold back the "old classmate" posture he had stood for a long time, and finally met the other party's gaze head-on.

This gaze has focused on her several times today, with different connotations, but the motivation is the same—as she said when they first met today: "It's just extra attention."

The two looked at each other for two seconds, and Xie Wu raised the corners of his mouth slightly self-deprecatingly: "As soon as you came back, I showed you such a play, so I repay your curiosity, right?"

Yue Zhiping tilted her head and smiled lightly: "That was also an accident. If it wasn't for this kind of coincidence, you wouldn't have planned to tell me frankly about your relationship with that... that child, right? Oh, no, I said," she exclaimed In a calm tone, he looked at Xie Wu with the look of looking at his uncle, and said sarcastically, "You are a bit too much, aren't you? That kid looks like a minor!"

Jiang Xichen has dyed his hair black these days, and after returning from school, he loves to wear youthful sportswear. It really looks like he has lost a lot of age.Xie Wu followed Yue Zhiping's words and thought of his appearance, his heart softened involuntarily, and he became concerned again, he didn't want to cooperate with the joke, so he just smiled bitterly silently.

"If it's really that small, it might be easier to handle." He let go of his fantasy. If Jiang Xichen was really that small, he probably wouldn't have such a deep routine and such a strong wall of heart. At worst, he would rub it into his heart. Believe it or not You can't knock it open and cover it with heat.

Seeing his reaction, Yue Zhiping was slightly startled, her eyes turned gray: "Oh... Lao Xie, are you sincere?"

Xie Wu faced her directly: "There are many reasons for this, but... yes, I am sincere."

Yue Zhiping waved her hand to ease the atmosphere and answer that she didn't like very much, and said half-jokingly: "As far as I know, you always tell the truth, as far as I can count now, there are... "

"It's not the same, he's different." Xie Wu interrupted her without waiting for her to count people, looking at her with some hesitation in his eyes, but he gritted his teeth and said something.

"Zhiping, I know you are quite concerned about our agreement back then. At that time, it was said that if I am unmarried and you are unmarried in ten years, we will make do... I can't say it was all a joke, we must have both A bit of that, but I think, since we haven't really come together for so many years, it may really be impossible to turn things around with this sentence, you..."

"Isn't this only the ninth year?" Yue Zhiping took a step back and looked at him with her arms crossed.

This looks very strong.Xie Wu respects her in his heart, and also likes her independent and powerful attitude. When he was young, he could even be said to have been secretly infatuated with her, but that was the end of it.One of the great benefits of getting older is that it is easier to see when others are pretending and what they really want.

Since he was in school, he has been listed as a male best friend by Yue Zhiping, and it is a very safe category, because half of them are not of the same gender.With a "safe" psychological positioning, they also go deeper on the road of friendship than ordinary men and women.However, the youth carnival is immersed in art, and gender is inherently more ambiguous, so chemical reactions will inevitably occur.

Before Yue Zhiping went abroad, they both knew that the meaning of each other was different from the past four years.But the lovers were not full, and the friendship was too precious, so they had to leave a "loyalty" agreement and parted hastily.

Over long physical distances and long periods of time, they kept in touch, maintained a degree of sympathy, and were of course each other's significant other.It's just that the positions given to each other are gradually misplaced. The ten-year agreement, at least in Xie Wu's view at this moment, should be abolished.

"I love Jiang Xichen." He looked at Yue Zhiping seriously, and laid out his trump card word by word, "I can't say any specific reason, but I just feel that when I think of letting him go, even just ignoring him, I feel pain in my heart. Don’t be in the mood to pay attention to others.”

I love him.I am not afraid that he will close the door to me, even if I kick it, I will kick the door open.

Hearing what he said in his heart, he suddenly found the way under his feet.

The swamp was full of soft mud, and there was Jiang Xichen who had approached him on his own initiative and was definitely looking forward to him now, how could he hesitate before the door was locked?How could there be no way to walk towards him?Chu Wenjin is there, Jiang Dongwei is there, and even Huo Yi is there, these are the roads.

Also, Lin Yi, they all call mothers.

Thinking of this, he suddenly became cheerful, and there was an urge to see Jiang Xichen immediately in his heart.

"Zhiping, I hope I made it clear and didn't hurt you too much." He understood, swept away the previous confusion and haze on his face, and smiled kindly at Yue Zhiping.

It's a friendship of more than ten years, he understands Yue Zhiping's pretending to be open-minded, and of course Yue Zhiping can see clearly that he is really open-minded at the moment.Since people already have their own hearts, the ten-year agreement has to be blown away with the wind.Yue Zhiping looked at him for a while, then opened her arms across her chest.

This time, Xie Wu didn't hesitate, went up to her and hugged her.

"Xie Wu, you will always be my best friend." Yue Zhiping said softly, and patted him on the back sighingly, "Your little friend doesn't look good, I wish you all the best and happiness."

Xie Wu nodded his chin and let go of her: "You too."

Yue Zhiping tugged at her clothes, raised her face slightly, and said with a relieved expression, "I'll go on my own too. I haven't been back to Beijing for a long time. I want to stroll around the streets outside. You don't have to worry about me."

The words were all blocked, Xie Wu was speechless, and could only agree: "Then you pay attention to safety, and call me if you have any questions."

Yue Zhiping stepped back while nodding, seeming to remember something, and added: "I may not have finished introducing you this time, so I apologize." After speaking, she raised her hand and waved her hand, making a scene like their school days The commonly used gestures are regarded as the last nostalgia, and then quickly turned around and left quickly.

Xie Wu watched her off for a while, touched his pocket and took out the car keys, and was about to pick up the car when he suddenly felt something was staring at him.

Following this keen intuition, I saw a man with a tall and straight figure and a dignified temperament like a sculpture of a European handsome man standing beside a car, looking at him steadily.In the night, you can't see your eyes clearly, but it's definitely not friendly.
