What Comes Around Goes Around

On the last working day before May Day, Jiang Ke ran to Qin Ziyang's office when he was about to get off work, and wanted to ask him if he would like to have dinner together later.Qin Ziyang was on the phone, seeing Jiang Ke leaning against the door, he raised his hand to signal him to come in and wait a while.

Jiang Ke knew that he was late after only listening for three seconds.As soon as Qin Ziyang hung up the phone, he pretended to lament: "Oh, I'm a step late, it seems that I, a lonely family, will be left alone to guard the vacant room tonight."

"Lonely and widowed doesn't mean staying alone in an empty room, that means not wanting to invite someone to sleep with you."

"It's all alone anyway."

"Is it okay to give you a vacation?" Qin Ziyang leaned over and squeezed his shoulders, "It's nothing, you don't have to come these days."

"Didn't you say you want to make new products?" Jiang Ke glanced at him, "Didn't you kiss me all day and forget about my business?"

"I plan to go back to my mother's place tomorrow," Qin Ziyang said, "Ask her opinion first, you don't have to run away."

"I thought you would have to get tired of your family for seven days." Jiang Ke joked.

"I can't bear it if I get too tired." Qin Ziyang shook his head with a wry smile.

Jiang Ke saw that his expression was a bit lonely, and he didn't know what happened to him and Song He Nan.But a few days ago when the company moved, Song He Nan made a special trip to visit. The two of them looked quite normal when they were having dinner together.

"Aren't you going on a date during the holiday?" Qin Ziyang asked after a while.

In fact, Jiang Ke had been absent-mindedly waiting for Zong Kai's news for a day. Hearing his question, he immediately took out his mobile phone and looked at it again. He shook his head and said, "He didn't ask me out at all."

"He didn't date you, you dated him."

"Every time I ask him out."

"Then what's the matter?" Qin Ziyang didn't take it seriously, "Didn't you brazenly announce that you're chasing him, why don't you take the initiative to be afraid."

Too.As soon as Jiang Ke entered the house that night, he sent Zong Kai a message.Originally, I wanted to ask him how to arrange for the May Day holiday or not.But after typing, I felt that this question was too direct, and the intention was clear at a glance. In the end, I changed it into a casual greeting, with a tone like an old friend who hadn't contacted for a long time: What are you up to recently?

Zong Kai hadn't gotten off work yet, and was struggling with the project report. When he saw the screen of his mobile phone turned on, he picked it up and looked at it. He was a little bit dumbfounded, and replied: We just saw each other the day before yesterday.

Jiang Ke thought about this sentence for a while, wondering if Zong Kai just said it casually, or did he think he was chasing him too closely?He tentatively replied: Then why do I feel like I haven't seen you for a long time.

After waiting for more than ten minutes for a reply, it came back: Maybe you are forgetful.

This made Jiang Ke doubt Zong Kai's attitude again.He sighed, regretting the blind greetings just now, he might as well have been straightforward, now he didn't even know how to continue the conversation.After all, he failed to catch Qin Ziyang's thick-skinned skills.

He thought about it here, and another message came from the other end, asking him: Is there something wrong with you?

Jiang Ke turned his head and said: I want you to help me make an exercise plan.

The next day, Jiang Ke got his wish and met Zong Kai in the gym.For three days after that he was extremely active.Once the two went out to eat together after they came out, Zong Kai sat by the floor-to-ceiling window and sighed that the weather was so good.

"It's rare for the north to be so colorful." Jiang Ke said, "When it's really hot, there are no flowers to see, only grass and trees."

"I really haven't noticed it." Zong Kai looked out the window a few more times while talking.

"I didn't know these things before, but I've been taught by Qin Ziyang in the past two years."

"You like this job very much?" Zong Kai turned to look at him.

"It's okay," Jiang Ke laughed at himself, "I don't have any ambitions."

"pretty good."

Jiang Ke didn't understand what he meant, "What's good?"

"It's all pretty good."

While talking, the waiter began to serve the dishes, and the topic was changed.After eating and leaving the store, Zong Kai asked him: "Where do you think you can see the most colors now?"

Jiang Ke thought for a while and said, "Probably the botanical garden."

So the next day the two went together.

Jiang Ke came back to this place two years ago.At that time, he didn't know anything about flowers and plants, so Qin Ziyang dragged him here, saying that he wanted to teach him on the spot from various aspects.But this time with Zong Kai, he has obviously become a semi-professional.

Zong Kai is indeed not good at flowers and trees. He listened to Jiang Ke telling him what this tree is and what that kind of flower is called all the way. He has a lot of knowledge.

"I can't see that you have such a patient side." Zong Kai said.

"Huh?" Jiang Ke didn't react for a while.

Zong Kai lowered his head and pushed his glasses, and said with a smile, "You always had an impatient expression before."

"Not really." Jiang Ke knew what time he was talking about before, and his face was a little embarrassed.

As they were talking, the two happened to walk to the gloomy Cherry Valley, surrounded by tall and straight metasequoias, and the temperature suddenly dropped a lot when they were in it, which was refreshing and pleasant.

Zong Kai walked to an empty railing and leaned against it.Jiang Ke followed him and stopped beside him, with his elbows on the railing.In this posture, neither of the two people has to face each other, and some words may be easier to say.

"Actually, I..." Jiang Ke considered his words carefully, "At that time, I actually...I didn't mean to target you."

Zong Kai tilted his head slightly and asked him, "What is that?"

"I don't know either." Jiang Ke shook his head.

Zong Kai didn't speak, and after a while of silence, he suddenly changed the subject and said, "You don't seem to have changed much."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Ke turned his head and looked at him in surprise.

"It's just a feeling." Zong Kai smiled.

Jiang Ke was silent for a while, and said, "Actually, I always think of you afterwards."

"What do you think of me?"

"Think about which prestigious university you will be admitted to."

Zong Kai turned around when he heard the words, got closer to Jiang Ke, and said frankly: "I also thought of you during the years abroad."

Jiang Ke answered with shame: "Do you think I have completely gone bad?"

"No," Zong Kai paused, then smiled, "Who do you want to sit at the same table with later?"

This is not what was in his heart, he didn't say what was in his heart: At that time, he felt that he was sick, why did he always think of such a person who made fun of him?Later, he felt that what he was thinking might not be Jiang Ke, but his attitude that he didn't care about anything.

In fact, Zong Kai has thought about this question many times since he transferred to another school in the third year of junior high school.For Jiang Ke, he is far from holding grudges.Especially in the first two years abroad, he had to adapt to the changes in the overall environment for a long time.Although he has always been used to being alone, Zong Kai feels very lonely because he is unfamiliar with the place, has no friends, and just realized that he likes men.He often thinks of the days in China, especially the second year of junior high school.Some things even became quite a nostalgic part of his memories.

He couldn't understand it at first, but slowly he figured it out.Except for Jiang Ke, he has never been that close to anyone, even though that kind of "closeness" just comes from Jiang Ke's various pranks on him.

But it was also that experience that made Zong Kai's perfectionism even more serious.He often felt like he was obsessive-compulsive.No matter what, he always wants to be the best.And this is not quite the same as the motivation based on parental pressure when I was a child.Zong Kai himself couldn't tell.

Perhaps, when he was only 13 years old, he confusedly interpreted Jiang Ke's "hostility" as the other party's dislike for him.And for a young man who doesn't have enough self-knowledge, the reason why someone dislikes him is very simple, that is: you have a problem.

This is in line with Zong Kai's consistent thinking mode.Affected by family education, he never likes to make excuses when doing things.Compared with external causes, he is more accustomed to thinking that he is not doing well.Because of this, although he was unwilling to accept Jiang Ke's teasing, he still failed to arouse too much anger.

To some extent, Jiang Ke is using another way to make him realize how much he cares about other people's eyes.Including that he doesn't like being stared at, maybe it's not Jiang Ke's psychological shadow brought to him.It is very likely that he has always been like this, and Jiang Ke just made him see this clearly.

"Actually, I quite envy you." Zong Kai said.

"Why do you envy me?" Jiang Ke was even more surprised.

"You never put anything or anyone in your eyes, you always do what you want."

Jiang Ke almost froze.He never expected that Zong Kai still had such a "positive" image of himself back then.

Jiang Ke smiled wryly, "It's not that I don't care about everything."

"You look like that."

"Let me tell you a secret," Jiang Ke leaned closer to Zong Kai, "I pretended that."

"Why?" Zong Kai looked at him suspiciously.

"Don't like that time."

It's not just that he doesn't like it, Jiang Ke doesn't even know what kind of expression to use to face those things that he doesn't like but can't change.It's cooler to act indifferent than to feel sorry for yourself.

Zong Kai looked at him for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What didn't you like then?"

"a lot of."

"now what?"

"Now..." Jiang Ke turned and walked two steps away, "I can only see what I like." After speaking, he turned back and took Zong Kai's hand, indicating that he should go forward.

Jiang Ke spoke with a playful smile, which changed the taste of this serious and serious conversation.Zong Kai followed silently, thinking that he really had nothing to do with Jiang Ke since the second year of junior high.But even though he often felt helpless, he never really hated him.

"I have something to ask you." After walking for a while, Zong Kai said suddenly.

"what's up?"

"That day on the overpass, why did you give money to the beggar?"

"...how did you remember to ask this?"

"I wanted to ask at that time."

Jiang Ke was silent for a while, then said, "I don't know either."

This is not all perfunctory, at least half of it is not.Zong Kai's ability to ask this must be because his attitude is too different from that of the past.Jiang Ke also couldn't tell when he started to change.In the past, he couldn't understand those people, but in fact he couldn't understand them pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic.What good is being pitiful?What he hates most is that others look at him with sympathy and pity him, and he has hated it since he was a child.

Still young, unable to change and always venting anger.

"Can I ask you a question too?"

"Tell me."

"How did you discover Zhiyu?"

This question was really beyond Zong Kai's expectations, but unfortunately he didn't want to answer it.

"Accidentally discovered."

Still that answer.Jiang Ke smiled in surrender.It seems that everyone has something they don't want to talk about.

He didn't ask any more questions, and naturally he didn't know that it was autumn. One night when Zong Kai came home from get off work, he saw a young man who was very similar to the "love so and so" in his imagination.He followed the man for a while by accident, until the man entered Zhiyu.Zong Kai also went there the next day and found that he liked the atmosphere there very much.At that time, he thought that if he had the opportunity to meet "Love Soso", he must come with him once.
