What Comes Around Goes Around

Jiang Ke returned to his residence full of depression.As soon as he entered the door, his friend Qin Ziyang, who lived with him, was smug in front of the full-length mirror at the door, which meant that ninety percent of the time he was going out on a date.

Qin Ziyang is Jiang Ke's best buddy. He has known him since college, and he is also gay.But he is different from Jiang Ke. Jiang Ke was still messing around with boys in junior high school, but Qin Ziyang has been clear about his sexual orientation since then.Because of a love letter, he became the laughing stock of the whole grade.He has never had any friends, and Jiang Ke was the first one of his kind he knew.

In the second year of graduation, because his gay identity was exposed, Qin Ziyang was pointed at by others in the company and had no choice but to resign.At that time, he came to ask Jiang Ke if he wanted to be a partner. Jiang Ke didn't care at first, thinking that two out-of-the-ordinary partners are waiting to drink the northwest wind?Besides, there is no way to do anything these days.Qin Ziyang took it seriously this time, and confessed to Jiang Ke that he had been thinking about it for half a year.Jiang Ke heard that it was reliable, so he decided to take a gamble.

Qin Ziyang is a local, and his family is in the wholesale business of flower breeding.He partnered with Jiang Ke to set up a flower leasing company, which is exclusively for the rich and small in the office building.The house Jiang Ke lives in now also belongs to Qin Ziyang, but Qin Ziyang has never asked him for rent.If he showed even a hint of tenant awareness, Qin Ziyang would be impatient.He really regards Jiang Ke as a buddy.

"Hey, why are you so early?" Qin Ziyang smoothed his hair, and glanced at the person changing shoes at the door, "I thought you had to come back after dinner."

Jiang Ke didn't answer, and walked towards the sofa while pulling on his slippers and shaking his head.

"You can't really see the light and die?" Qin Ziyang first followed him for a while, and then he followed, "Talk, are you stimulated?"

Jiang Ke raised his eyelids feebly, "I'm so excited."

"What's going on?" Qin Ziyang sat down and squeezed his shoulders.

Jiang Ke didn't know what to say, and didn't really want to say it, so he changed the topic and said to him: "Are you still going downstairs? When I came up, I saw Song Henan's car."

"Isn't it?" Qin Ziyang immediately ran to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked downstairs, "It's rare, it's not too late, so it's good if the uncle is not late every time."

"You really believe it." Jiang Ke looked at his back speechlessly and worriedly, "I said, can we have something to do? We are so busy, it seems like we have never seen a man before."

Only then did Qin Ziyang come to his senses, he turned his head and gave him a look of "not as knowledgeable as you", "Jiang'er, now you perfectly interpret what envy, jealousy and hatred are."

"Get out." Jiang Ke refused to admit it.

Qin Ziyang didn't let him go, and walked back to the sofa and said, "You are as lonely as snow, staying alone in an empty room, so you can't bear to be hurt by someone like me."

"Stop disgusting me," Jiang Ke pushed him away with a face full of disgust, "Hurry up and get bored with your old man."

"Bah, bah, how old is it? Only 32!"

"It's older than you anyway."

"Let me tell you, you have a bad mentality. If you go on like this, you won't be able to find a man."

"I don't look for men, it's men who look for me." Jiang Ke said boldly.

"Just keep your mouth shut," Qin Ziyang said shortly, "Don't think I don't know that you've been thinking about that one on the Internet, how about it? Did you get stimulated when you saw it today? Hey, isn't he a wretched old man?"

"Can you have that wretched woman from your family? When we first met, I wished I could bring her to the bed."

"What's the matter? It means I'm attractive."

"Ghost charm."

"You're going to run on me." Qin Ziyang continued, looking up at the wall clock, "Okay, I should go too soon, see you tomorrow, Jiang Er."

After he went out, Jiang Ke went back to his room, looked at the empty double bed, and thought about the phrase "keep the empty room alone", he was really a little downcast.

"Fuck, what a fucking coincidence!" Jiang Ke cursed, and then sat by the bed with regrets: It would be great if the person on the Internet wasn't Zong Kai.They have always chatted so well, and now the other party's appearance happens to be the one he particularly likes.It was the first time in so many years that he met such a person he liked, and it turned out that God insisted on playing such a big joke on him.

Jiang Ke raised his hand and rubbed his face, thinking to himself whether he should be cheeky and send Zong Kai another message?He has such a good temper when he is online, maybe he will talk to himself again when his anger subsides.

But this hope was quickly dashed, because he failed to find Zong Kai's account in the friend list.His heart sank, and he immediately went back to the group to take a look. Sure enough, there was a message from the administrator saying: One meter away, he has left the group.

Jiang Ke vented his strength on his shoulders and fell back on the bed.He thought he was really getting what he deserved.An unpleasant face-to-face experience in college made him pay more attention: he would never reveal his real situation to the other party before meeting, and he would never leave a phone call. Naturally, there was no reason to ask the other party's phone number.Not only that, he didn't even know what Zong Kai did.Now he has nowhere to go to Zong Kai, and they have completely lost contact.

After waking up all night, Jiang Ke was in a daze when he woke up in the morning, and he didn't have any appetite for breakfast, so he went directly to the company.As soon as he entered the office, he received a leave call from an employee, and he felt even more headache.

Their company is said to be a company, but in fact there are only a dozen people from top to bottom, and there is really a radish and a pit.Now that the new year is over, it is a busy time. There were several employees who could not come back because of the bad weather in their hometown.

Qin Ziyang didn't show up until noon, so he couldn't count on it at all, so Jiang Ke had to go there himself for the afternoon's work.In fact, he is a second-hand knife in terms of specific business. Fortunately, he knows the process better, and he is not too unprofessional to play a cameo once in a while as a maintenance worker.

Jiang Ke rushed to the company at the first two o'clock.It was a well-known big company in the industry, and the order was signed only through Song Henan's relationship, otherwise their small temple really couldn't afford such a big Buddha.Jiang Ke only came once when the contract was first signed, and this is the second time today.

Due to the large area of ​​the office area and the many meeting rooms, it was almost time for Jiang Ke to leave work after finishing his busy work.One of the conference rooms was in use all the time, so Jiang Ke couldn't get in.He greeted the person in charge of the administration department, and just as he was about to leave after packing up his things, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened, and a group of people came out.

Okay, let's get on with it.

Jiang Ke took out the tools again and entered the meeting room. There was still one person inside who was organizing documents with his back to the door.When he passed by, he said politely: "Excuse me, excuse me."

"Oh, sorry." When the man turned his head, both of them were stunned.

A thin layer of lenses can't play any role at this moment, and the embarrassment of unexpected encounters is beyond words.After being numb for a moment, Zong Kai looked away first.Jiang Ke's expressions were even more exciting, and he changed several expressions in half a minute.

"That...you are...me..." Jiang Ke froze his words in a rare way, and didn't say anything useful for a long time, only feeling that his face was getting hotter and panicked.

To be honest, when he was eating at noon, he was still thinking, if only he could meet again somewhere.But now he doesn't want to meet Zong Kai face to face in this meeting room in this capacity.But the work was not finished, so he couldn't leave.

Zong Kai's face returned to normal, he lowered his head and silently packed up the materials, his eyes never drifted to Jiang Ke's side, he just paused before leaving, as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, someone happened to come outside the door He called out "Director Zong", and what Jiang Ke saw in the end was only the back of him leaving in a hurry.

Jiang Ke didn't know if Zong Kai really had something to tell him.It's inconvenient for him to chase him out, and to be honest, he doesn't want to chase him out. He just hopes that Zong Kai has already left work when he walks out of this door again.He purposely dawdled for time, procrastinatingly finishing the last work, but he didn't expect to see Zong Kai mixed in a suit and tie at the elevator entrance.

Jiang Ke walked over hesitantly, moved away a few more steps, and finally stopped on the other side a little far away from them.Zong Kai stood obliquely in front of Jiang Ke, and Jiang Ke didn't know if he noticed him.He secretly glanced at the back of his suit and leather shoes, and his heart twisted a little again.

The elevator stopped on the first floor and couldn't get up, Jiang Ke couldn't stay any longer.Half a minute later, he pretended to drop something and went back to pick it up, but in the end he didn't take the same elevator as Zong Kai.

Zong Kai got off the elevator but didn't leave immediately. He lingered in the lobby for a while, wondering why Jiang Ke didn't follow, but after wondering, he was surprised: Is he waiting for him?no.Why don't you wait for someone and just stand there?have no idea.

Zong Kai glanced at the elevator door again as he thought about it, feeling even more confused.

As a 25-year-old gay, Zong Kai has never been in a relationship.In real life, he doesn't like to be close to people, and the only few experiences he has with the same kind of people are all online.The first time he hadn't chatted with the other party for half a month, the man urged to meet.He was directly blocked by the other party mercilessly because it was inconvenient for him to be abroad.The second time we chatted for a while, more than two months, the other party also asked to meet, he thought about it and took advantage of the vacation to go back to China to attend the appointment.The other party was quite satisfied with him, and almost called her husband directly after a meal, but because of his incomprehensible style—there was no substantial progress in dating three times—he also said goodbye to him.

Zong Kai didn't know if he was an outlier. He didn't deliberately pursue abstinence, he just never met anyone who attracted him.This is the first time he has taken the initiative to ask someone out to meet, even though he only knows that the other party's online vest is called "Love So So So".

In fact, he thought about it many times before the meeting, as long as the other party is not a [-]-pound man with a beard, he can accept it.He has never had high requirements for appearance.Compared with a piece of skin, a person who can really chat is more difficult to meet.

Yesterday afternoon, as soon as he entered the store, he noticed a young man dressed in trendy clothes sitting by the window, and for some reason he felt that he was "love so and so".When he was completely sure that he had not identified the wrong person, Zong Kai felt extremely lucky.Unfortunately, this luck only lasted for a few minutes.

On the subway home, Zong Kai thought about it intermittently, and at the end, his thoughts unknowingly turned back to 12 years ago.

"Zong Kai, the teacher in charge called you to the office."

One day at noon in the first semester of the second year of junior high school, the classroom was noisy as usual, and the students gathered together to fight and chat. Only Zong Kai, who was seated by the window in the second row, was reading a book.Last week's monthly test scores fell several times, especially in English.A few days ago, when his parents asked about his grades, he was so nervous that he handed in a stack of test papers in a panic, and there was a long silence.

This is Zong Kai's most tense scene in his 13 years of life, and he experiences it almost every month.Usually after a while of silence, he would be relieved if his parents—even if only one of them—would still be willing to scold him.What he fears most is that no one scolds him.And this time, it happened to be the latter.

He stood in the middle of the living room, shrunk his shoulders as if he had caused a catastrophe, drooped his head, and unconsciously held his breath.He just stood like this for more than 20 minutes without daring to move, until his father returned to the room silently and his mother told him to hurry up to review his homework, and he was finally pardoned.

After that day, Zong Kai spent all his spare time reading books. He didn't want to experience the same panic after the final exam.

Zong Kai started school at the age of five, and just turned thirteen in the second year of junior high school, one year younger than his classmates.But he has good grades and good manners, and the teachers of all subjects like him.He is a study committee member handpicked by the head teacher.The teacher in charge called him, and he was definitely going. Only after he got there did he realize that it was an errand job: go to the printing room to pick up the afternoon quiz papers.

At first he hesitated, but it was not until the teacher in charge added clearly: "It's just an in-class test, the teacher trusts you, your grades are so good, you won't be troubled by any test questions." He then moved his pace.

When he finished taking the papers and walked back, the image of standing alone in the living room that day suddenly popped up in his mind. He shivered reflexively, and then walked around in the direction of the small garden in a mysterious way.

When he finally came to his senses and realized that his behavior had failed the teacher's trust, it was already too late.Because when he looked up, he met a person not far away.

The classmate Jiang Ke looked at him with an unclear expression.As soon as his eyes flicked back and forth between his face and the stack of test papers in his hand, he panicked.He immediately looked around, and when he saw that there was no one else around, he was slightly relieved, and turned his eyes back to Jiang Ke.

Jiang Ke never spoke, but his expression gradually changed, becoming cunning that Zong Kai couldn't even describe.

Then, a "game" belonging to two teenagers began.
