save and be saved

Back in the room, Wen Ling didn't turn on the light first, but walked to the window under the moonlight, watching Tong Ze's back slowly leave.He always walks with his back straight, looks ahead, rarely looks around, even when he is very casual, he has a unique spiritual temperament, so that Wen Ling saw him in the playground crowd at a glance on the avenue.

On the way to the playground, I heard a student say that there was a strange man walking back and forth on the playground with his eyes closed. Just such a sentence reminded Wen Ling that on that night of bright moonlight and brilliant stars, Tong Ze was walking with him The scene of chatting and walking backwards, such a strange person, there should be no one else except him.This kind of thought was fleeting, but it caused ripples in his heart, and he could not be calm for a long time.

He subconsciously quickened his pace, but stopped where he could see the playground.He saw that person walking back and forth, almost hitting someone several times, but before hitting each time, the students got out of the way very wisely.His rationality told him to leave, but his footsteps were getting closer and closer to him.

Wen Ling suddenly remembered that poem, the poem that made him feel relieved, he recited it silently in his heart, and then gradually calmed down.It's just an old friend. When I meet him, I naturally say hello and ask him how he is doing recently. There is no need to think so complicatedly. Maybe the other party doesn't care anymore. To him, I am just an old acquaintance.

But the development of the matter was beyond his expectation, but this kind of accident did not make him feel uncomfortable, and he even felt that it was like a certain missing corner in his heart was suddenly filled.He couldn't help lamenting again the human instinct to seek warmth, the ease and warmth that Tong Ze brought to him, even if he said that he had nothing to do with it, deep down in his heart, he was still inseparable.

It is probably the best portrayal of Tong Ze that people are in good spirits on happy occasions. Tomorrow is his 31st birthday, and he is already very excited today. Instead of booking a hotel, he decided to cook by himself and entertained better colleagues. Adding up, the table was almost filled with people, and Wen Ling was so lively, he must be happy when the time comes.

Thinking of Wen Ling, Tong Ze couldn't wait, maybe because he was thinking of something from the past, he couldn't help but bend the corner of his mouth. Tian Tian just walked by his desk, and took a sneak shot of him while he wasn't paying attention, and sent it to the private chat group Li, the group immediately exploded.

Old Nine: Teacher Tong is probably thinking about his girlfriend, hahaha

Sweetheart: Maybe there will be a surprise guest tomorrow.

Old man Cai: looking forward to ing

……

It didn't take long for Tian Tian to be pressured by Tong Ze's eyes, but she didn't take it seriously. Who doesn't know that Tong Ze is a paper tiger. It's okay to scare students. In front of their acquaintances, she has no deterrent power at all. .Besides, since Tong Ze has discovered her, Tian Tian might as well open the skylight and speak out.

She dragged a chair and sat next to Tong Ze, and then asked openly, "Tell me, who were you thinking about in the photo at that time, smiling so tenderly?"

Tong Ze squinted at her: "It's just a friend."

"Oh~ friend, girlfriend?" Tian Tian winked at him ambiguously.

"It's a man." Tong Ze raised his eyebrows.

"It's boring." Tian Tian immediately dragged the chair and returned to her table.

Tong Ze didn't bother to talk to her. There was no class this afternoon, so he had to buy the ingredients in advance in the afternoon, otherwise it would be too late tomorrow morning.When it was time to buy vegetables, Tong Ze realized that after so long, he didn't know what Wen Ling liked to eat. Every time he ate, he didn't seem to be picky about food, and would eat a little of everything. Thinking of this, he took out his phone, and dialed Wen Ling got through the phone.

"What do you like to eat?" Tong Ze asked directly.

"What? Wait a minute, it's too noisy, I couldn't hear you clearly." Apart from Wen Ling's voice, there were also car horns and music from shopping malls. It didn't take long for those voices to become quieter. It must have arrived A quieter place.

"What did you just say?" Wen Ling asked.

"It's okay, where are you?"

"Century Square is here."

"Then wait for me, I'm not far from here." After finishing speaking, Tong Ze hung up the phone. Instead of asking him, it's better to buy it with him directly.

Wen Ling looked at the gift in his hand, and was hung up before he could say no to it.He couldn't help thinking, how about going to the nearby supermarket and putting it in a locker, and then he thought it's fine, it's all for him anyway, it doesn't make any difference if it's sooner or later.

It didn't take long for Wen Ling to see Tong Ze's car, and Tong Ze obviously noticed him too. He immediately turned a corner and stopped the car. Wen Ling walked over and handed him the bag.

Tong Ze took it flattered, and asked incredulously, "Is it for me?"

"Birthday gift, I originally planned to give it to you tomorrow. Since we met today, I will give it to you in advance."

Tong Ze happily held the gift, then opened the back seat, and gently placed it on the seat.

Seeing his cautious look, Wen Ling said shyly, "Actually, it's not something expensive."

"I like it very much." Tong Ze quickly said.

"You haven't opened it to see what it is..."

"You have this kind of heart, I am already very satisfied."

Wen Ling became more and more embarrassed, so he changed the topic and asked him what he bought on the street. Tong Ze explained his purpose, Wen Ling thought about it, and found that he really didn't like it or dislike it.

Therefore, at the end of the purchase, they mainly bought Tong Ze's favorite food. Both of them brought several bags of ingredients. Wen Ling was curious, wondering how he could finish eating so much.

"Not much, not much, it just looks like a lot, but it doesn't taste like a lot." Tong Ze waved his hand, and tomorrow he has to prepare a serving for ten people.

Wen Ling looked at the dishes that were almost filling the trunk and was silent. No matter how much the two of them ate, they couldn't finish it. But Tong Ze was the birthday star, so naturally he had the final say, and Wen Ling didn't say anything else.After buying the vegetables, Tong Ze sent Wen Ling home again, and still sent them downstairs to his house. When they parted, Tong Ze asked him if he wanted to pick them up tomorrow, but Wen Ling refused, saying that he could go by car. Tong Ze thought about it. He was indeed very busy tomorrow, so he didn't force himself.

The National Day is a special day for the whole country to celebrate. Tong Ze spends his birthday at his parents' house every year. It was not until he started working and was too far away from home that he gradually became alone. His family is a medical family. , Mom, Dad and brother have to go to work on National Day, so they can't come here to celebrate his birthday, but early in the morning, they called to greet him. At this moment, Tong Ze once again felt that his original choice was so wise , if he chooses clinical practice like his parents, I am afraid that it may not be known that he will spend his birthday in the department.

Before nine o'clock in the morning, the doorbell of Tong Ze's house started to ring. Tian Tian was the first to come, and when she entered the door, she said surprise to Tong Ze, and then offered her own flowers and gifts.Tong Ze accepted it without politeness. Tian Tian has already arrived, and the people behind him should be coming soon. He needs to start preparing lunch.

Tian Tian took the flowers and helped him insert them into the vase. By the way, she sprayed water on them to make the flowers look more beautiful. As Tong Ze expected, friends came one after another. Everyone was acquaintances, so naturally there were no Restraint, watching TV, helping people, the whole room was full of laughter and laughter, so that Wen Ling outside had to ring the doorbell two or three times before someone came to open the door.

Opening the door, a tall beauty with short hair came into Wen Ling's eyes. He was taken aback for a moment before being pulled into the house enthusiastically by the beauty. After entering, Wen Ling realized that all the people in the room stopped at this moment. Get off the chat, and look at him.

He quickly adjusted, then showed a decent smile, and made a brief self-introduction.

"Wow, all the friends of handsome guys are handsome!" Cai Yu exaggeratedly exclaimed, and everyone laughed.

"Don't just stand there, change your shoes and come in. My name is Tian Tian, ​​just call me Tiantian!" The short-haired beauty is Tian Tian, ​​and she winked mischievously at Wenling.

Wen Ling smiled back, squatted down and opened the shoe cabinet, but the pair of blue and white striped slippers were nowhere to be seen. He looked around inadvertently, and then found that they were worn by someone else. He took the nearest pair of gray slippers and changed into them, and sat down. On the edge of the sofa.

"Aren't you ashamed to take advantage of others when they first came here? How dare you call me Tiantian?" Lin Qijiu joked while turning on the TV.

Tian Tian pushed him: "Talk as if my name is not Tian Tian, ​​what's wrong with my name is Tian Tian, ​​Wen Ling didn't speak, you are the only one who talks too much."

Lin Qiu poured Wen Ling a glass of water, and then ruthlessly exposed her: "You just let her continue to play tricks, she is an old girl, please be more considerate."

Tian Tian hated people talking about her age the most. She was only 28 and was called an old girl every day by this group of people, so she chased Lin Qiu and choked her fiercely.

Tong Ze came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, stopped Tian Tian with his hand, and told her to stop making trouble, otherwise the people downstairs would complain.He scanned the living room, and then found Wen Ling. It was too noisy before, and he didn't know when Wen Ling came.

He walked over quickly, couldn't help but laughed: "When did you come, why didn't you tell me?"

"Just here, happy birthday." Wen Ling congratulated him.

"Thank you. I have to be busy in the kitchen. I don't have time to accompany you. They are very interesting. You can play with them." Then Tong Ze introduced him one by one.

Wen Ling said he could understand, and asked him if he needed help, Tong Ze said no, there were already two helpers inside.Time was running short, and he didn't have time to talk to Wen Ling, so he turned around and went into the kitchen in a hurry.

Wen Ling took out his mobile phone idly and played a small game. When someone spoke to him, he would just answer a few words. Maybe his attitude was not enthusiastic enough, and gradually he was alone.He didn't like playing games at first, but he had nothing to do, and his eyes hurt after playing for a long time, so he just stared out the window in a daze.

The scenery outside the window here is not exactly the same as the scenery outside the window at home before. When he saw the plane flying over the sky, he couldn't help thinking, where did the people on the plane go, and where did they go? They were rushing home. Or leave home and start sailing.

The decoration of the room was the same as before, except that the white flowers were replaced by purple flowers. The same thing was that he didn't know each other.All this felt very strange to him. Obviously Tong Ze's house had been visited many times, but he had never felt such a strong strange feeling today. He looked out of the window again, as if he could find the familiar feeling from the scenery outside.

Two hours later, the dishes were finally ready and filled the entire table.Tian Tian brought the cake, took out a birthday hat from inside, and wanted to put it on for Tong Ze, but Tong Ze let her make trouble, squatted down slightly, and asked Tian Tian to put it on for her, then put in candles, lit candles, and sang Birthday song, Wen Ling stood in the corner next to him, looked at his side face making a wish, and sent him the most sincere blessings in his heart.

After making his wish, Tong Ze immediately went to search for Wen Ling, and then at the very side, he saw him drinking a drink with his head down, showing his lovely hair and half of his fair neck.He looked away and blew out the candle.

The big meal officially started. Tian Tian divided the cakes for everyone. Wen Ling took a bite and stopped eating. Eating sweet things before meals would affect his appetite.Everyone was really happy, talking about a lot of interesting things about the school, and some gossip about the leaders. Tong Ze sat in the middle, bearing the enthusiasm from both sides, and paying attention to how Wen Ling was eating from time to time.

It should be pretty good, Tong Ze thought, Wen Ling seems to be eating very deliciously, has been concentrating on the few dishes in front of him, and didn't even stop chopsticks, so that he didn't participate in the topic, but Tong Ze also found out, Some dishes, Wenling took a bite, frowned and didn't pick up the second chopsticks. For example, mushrooms, vegetables and crucian carp were picked up more, and he secretly remembered them all.

It took more than an hour to finish a meal. Everyone was full of wine and food, and lay on the sofa to digest. Wen Ling touched his full stomach and went to the kitchen to find Tong Ze. He was packing things. It's a mess, it's almost impossible to get down.

"Let me wash the dishes for you." Wen Ling always remembered that he didn't like washing dishes.

"It's okay, you go and rest for a while, leave it here and ask a housekeeper to clean it up later."

When Tong Ze said that, Wen Ling could only leave the kitchen silently. He turned on his phone to check the time, and then turned back, ready to say goodbye to him.

"I'm going home. I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with the landlord to pay the rent." Wen Ling lowered her head, and took out her mobile phone to pretend to check the time.

Tong Ze wiped his hands and came out: "Can't you just transfer the money to him?"

"The landlord is an old man and doesn't know how to play with these things."

"I didn't even talk to you properly." Tong Ze didn't want him to leave.

"It's okay, it's the same when we meet next time."

"but……"

"I have already agreed to the landlord." Tong Ze wanted to persuade him again, but was interrupted by Wen Ling directly. He looked into Wen Ling's eyes for a long time, and the firmness inside was something he had rarely seen before. He knew that Wen Ling was really I was leaving, so I had no choice but to let go.

"I'll see you off." Tong Ze was about to take off his apron.

"No need." Wen Ling quickly pressed his hand, and then let go, perhaps realizing that his tone was too stiff, he raised the corner of his mouth and said: "It's very convenient to take a ride outside. There are so many people here. Friends, you should spend more time with them."

Tong Ze's intuition told him that something must have gone wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong, so he could only say to pay attention to safety on the road.Wen Ling nodded, said goodbye to everyone with a smile, and finally opened the door to leave.Tong Ze watched him go, then ran to the window and looked down. Not long after, he saw Wen Ling coming out of the door, walking towards home, passing the bus station, but did not stop, and kept walking slowly. go forward.

Tong Ze threw down his apron, said hello to his friends, went out and took the elevator down to the basement, and drove out of the car to chase Wen Ling.It didn't take long for Tong Ze to see his figure. He honked the horn, but Wen Ling didn't respond. He drove a little further, side by side with him, and honked the horn again, but Wen Ling still didn't respond.This is not right. Normal people will definitely react when they hear the sound of the horn at such a close distance. If there is no reaction, either the ears cannot hear it, or they deliberately pretend not to hear it.

However, today is the National Day, and the traffic flow is several times higher than usual. Tong Ze's stop and go like this has already made the cars behind him dissatisfied. Park somewhere and run back on foot.

Not long after he walked, he met Wen Ling head-on and stopped him.

"Why are you here?" Wen Ling asked.

"I'll take you home, the sun is too strong outside." Tong Ze pulled him to hide in the shade.

"No, I can go back by myself, your friend is still waiting for you." Wen Ling smiled and brushed his hand away, keeping a distance from him.

Tong Ze's face turned ugly for a moment: "It's okay, I drove the car out."

Wen Ling's smile faded, she ignored him, and chose to walk forward on her own, Tong Ze followed closely behind him.

"Are you unhappy?"

"No."

"Then why don't you let me take you home?"

Wen Ling just felt powerless, what kind of gangster logic is this?Are you angry if you don't ride in his car?Wouldn't it be okay not to let him send it?Why do you have to struggle so hard? What's the point of all this?He is not the only friend, why bother to be so humble?

Wen Ling stopped suddenly, then turned around and looked at Tong Ze with an indifferent expression:

"It's your birthday today. I don't want you to be unhappy. I hope you can stop it. I'm going home now. Please don't follow me anymore."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, Tong Ze subconsciously followed, Wen Ling seemed to be aware that he turned around and only cast a light glance at Tong Ze, which made him dare not move again, because he knew that if he One step forward, his relationship with Wen Ling will soon end, he can only stand still, watching Wen Ling go further and further, and then disappear.
