The house that Xia Zhaozhao rented was a two-bedroom about [-] square meters. It was simply decorated and furnished. It looked small, but it was enough for one person to live on.

As soon as Gu Yi entered the door, he was impressed by the decoration and cleanliness of the room.Not as bad as imagined.

"Mr. Gu...sit casually." Xia Zhaozhao invited Gu Yi into the living room.

Gu Yi agreed and sat down on the sofa.

"What would you like to drink?" Xia Zhaozhao was a little cautious, still standing on the ground.

Gu Yi said: "Water will do."

Xia Zhaozhao then went to the drinking fountain to make a glass of warm water for Mr. Gu, and almost fell over because he walked too fast.

"Or order takeaway." Gu Yi suggested, if you are so sick, can you still cook?

"It's okay, I'm just a little... nervous." Xia Zhaozhao told the truth unconsciously, afraid that Gu Yi would think too much, so he explained: "No colleague has ever come to my house." Xia Zhaozhao thought, how can I let Gu Yi Do you always follow her to eat takeaway?Although instant noodles belong to junk food, at least they are made by themselves, so they must be a little more reassuring than takeaway.

Gu Yi nodded knowingly, and said, "Your place is much neater than mine. If there is no housekeeping aunt, I might not be able to go there."

"Really?" Xia Zhaozhao wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. After thinking about it, he said, "Mr. Gu, are you hungry? Let me find you some snacks first..."

Xia Zhaozhao thought of the box of single dog food distributed by the company. She only drank the happy water in it, and there were many bags of snacks. There must be one that caught Mr. Gu's eyes. She's in the cabinet under the bookshelf.

Gu Yi just wanted to say that there is no need to bother, but seeing that Xia Zhaozhao had already walked a few steps away, he also got up and followed.

This room is both a cloakroom and a study. As soon as you enter the door, there is a four-door wardrobe on the left hand side, with a dressing mirror next to it; the sunlight from the window is shining in on the door, warming your body; The big bookshelf was stuffed to the brim; there were a few sorting boxes stacked on the floor.

At first glance, it looks a bit crowded, but not messy.

Xia Zhaozhao didn't expect Mr. Gu to follow, and he was at a loss for a moment: "At home... the place is too small..."

"Living alone, it's useless to have such a big house." After Gu Yi finished speaking, he began to look at the things on the bookshelf.Row after row are neatly arranged, except for comic books, there are PS4 games, and there is a model figure in front of each grid.

Xia Zhaozhao actually likes playing games?Gu Yi fell into deep thought.

And Xia Zhaozhao was still pondering Mr. Gu's words, thinking how could you assume that I live alone?As soon as I had this idea, I was stunned for a moment, holding a box of "dog food" in my hand, am I ashamed to say that I am not single?When he came back to his senses again, he saw Gu Yi was looking at the things on his bookshelf.Except for a few professional books, the things on it should be playthings in the eyes of others.

"Do you like playing games?" Gu Yi asked suddenly.

Xia Zhaozhao thought for a moment, and replied: "I used to play when I was free... It's been a long time since I played these games, and these games are basically left to eat ashes." After finishing speaking, she sweated for herself. Still playing games, even though they are mobile games.But you can't tell the leader that you go home every day to play games, what will the leader think of you?A good employee is one who cares about work even after get off work.

Gu Yi pointed to one of the games and said, "This seems to have been released last month, right?"

Looking up at the direction of Gu Yi's finger, Xia Zhaozhao was embarrassed. It was "Red Dead Redemption 2", a third-person shooter game that had just been released not long ago, and it had been unpacked.

Is it too late to say that it was bought second-hand?

Xia Zhaozhao thought about it again, how does Mr. Gu know so much about games?So he asked: "Mr. Gu, do you usually play games?"

"Don't play."

"Oh..." Xia Zhaozhao didn't dare to ask at all, but he just explained to Gu Yi in his heart that he probably saw the advertisement for this game's release somewhere.

Xia Zhaozhao explained again: "Actually, I just like collecting games..." After finishing speaking, he was a little puzzled why he had to explain, since Mr. Gu would not be interested in her life.

Gu Yi didn't answer, but thought in his heart, no wonder Xia Zhaozhao is at his age, and neither buys a house nor a car. In fact, all the money is spent on these hobbies.

"Do you like shooting games?" Gu Yi asked again.

Xia Zhaozhao nodded, she did play a lot of shooting games.

Gu Yi then stopped asking questions about the game, and just took a deep look at Xia Zhaozhao, which made Xia Zhaozhao flustered.

In the middle of the bookshelf, there is a photo frame with only one leaf in it. Gu Yi took a closer look at it for a while. The leaf is well preserved with clear veins, and it seems to be able to feel its fresh vitality through the glass.

Once, it came from the warm spring, experienced the hot summer, and threw itself into the embrace of the wind and the earth in autumn, and finally, it stayed here.

"This photo frame is exchanged with supermarket membership points. I usually... go to the supermarket to buy groceries when I get off work." Xia Zhaozhao said.The truth is, at that time, they all went to the supermarket on the first floor during working hours. Of course, that was before Gu Yi came.

Xia Zhaozhao continued: "The leaf was picked up downstairs when I came back from a run one day. The first time I saw it, I thought, ah... so beautiful, I want to take it home." Glancing at Gu Yi, she suddenly recalled that the day they first met, she also praised Gu Yi for being beautiful...

Adding all these details together, Gu Yi began to re-examine Xia Zhaozhao. If Xia Zhaozhao can cook...then as long as she can prove that Xia Zhaozhao is playing chicken, Xia Zhaozhao is a matter of the four C girls. , basically eight.Nine is close to ten.

Gu Yi's heartbeat started to speed up.

15 hours ago.

Inside a Michelin-starred restaurant on the 29th floor of a building on the Bund in Shanghai.

Chen Tianran and Jiang Han were sitting in front of the dining table for two by the window, chatting and admiring the night view outside the window.

Chen Tianran made a very formal dress today, because he planned to do something that he had planned for a long time.But Jiang Han is still radiant, but not for the sake of pleasing himself.

Looking out from the window, you can have a panoramic view of the prosperity of the Bund. The exquisite decoration and warm lighting in the restaurant, combined with the night, make the atmosphere extraordinarily romantic.

Just finished a topic about movies, Chen Tianran took a sip of wine, mustered up his courage, and then slowly said: "Jiang Han."

"Huh?" Jiang Han looked away from the night scene outside the window, and exchanged a glance with Chen Tianran. Seeing Chen Tianran's hesitant to speak but eager to try, she suddenly became a little nervous.

"Although we haven't known each other for a long time, but... I have liked you for a long time." Chen Tianran's tone was extremely solemn, which didn't match his usual style at all.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Han asked him with a smile: "Are you...are you joking? It's been a long time since April Fool's Day."

Chen Tianran was helpless, and continued, "Do you think I'm joking with such a sincere gaze?"

Jiang Han still kept smiling: "Don't act so serious, it's not funny at all."

"I'm serious." Chen Tianran emphasized.

Jiang Han fell silent again.

"Aren't you..." After 1 minute, Jiang Han hesitated to speak, and said softly and gently: "Do you like boys?"

Chen Tianran couldn't laugh or cry: "Who did you listen to? What do I look like all over my body? Why do you all doubt me?"

Seeing that Chen Tianran was angry, Jiang Han hurriedly comforted him: "I'm sorry, Tianran...I misunderstood. I thought you often asked me out to meet you because you wanted me to cover you...I really never thought about it... ...you will like me..."

Jiang Han felt sorry for Chen Tianran, but was more helpless.

Chen Tianran sighed, thinking about it, even Gu Yi who grew up with him thought he was gay, no wonder Jiang Han misunderstood him, he shouldn't be so unmannered, but he still didn't understand why everyone misunderstood him.He continued to confess: "Now you know that I am not. Can you redefine me from the perspective of a woman looking at ordinary men? Are you willing to accept my liking for you?"

Jiang Han said "I'm sorry" again, then sighed, and she said, "Naturally, I think...um...our sexuality is not suitable."

Chen Tianran almost turned into the black question mark face in the emoji, what does that mean?Didn't we clear up the misunderstanding just now?You can reject me by saying you don't like it, why are you talking about my sexuality?

"What... do you mean?" Chen Tianran asked with a frown.

Jiang Han lowered his head, continued to sigh, took another look at the bright lights outside the window, and then turned his head to look at Chen Tianran, "Actually, I have always cooperated with you, and I have selfish intentions. I have someone I like, and she is a girl."

Chen Tianran: "..."

This is something he never thought of.

He had considered a lot before confessing his confession, and also thought that Jiang Han would reject him, the reasons were either because he was not enterprising, or because his personality was not stable enough, or even because he disliked him for not being rich enough, he could accept all of these, and he could do it for her to change.The only reason is that he never thought of it.

What more could he say?He already lost at the start.

Chen Tianran was very frustrated, but he was powerless to fight for anything.

"It's getting late, I'm going back." Jiang Han said.

Chen Tianran still maintained his gentlemanly demeanor: "Let me see you off one last time."

"Thank you."

Along the way, the two of them didn't talk much, and they often started a conversation, chatted for two or three sentences, and then stopped talking. Both of them felt embarrassed to varying degrees.

When Chen Tianran parked his car and was about to send Jiang Han into the apartment, a man suddenly got off a commercial vehicle that had been parked on the side of the road. The peaked cap, the entire face is hidden behind the black mask, and the brim of the hat is extremely low.

"Why did you come back so late?" The man walked towards them, looking directly at Jiang Han and said.

Chen Tianran looked at the man and saw the eyes under the wide brim of the hat clearly through the streetlights. He couldn't help but trembled: "Aren't you...you're the one..."
