swan boy

Life is full of hope, of course, except for editorial reminders.

Lu Xing had only been walking for three days, and the translations came pouring in like snowflakes. The dear editor was swearing vividly on the other end of the phone, while Lu Xing was pinching his ears and haha ​​coping.

After hanging up the phone, he looked at a lot of tasks to be completed on the computer, feeling hopeless.

Now that he has temporarily made up his mind to settle down in L City, the part-time translation work is not enough now. Lu Xing spent a week finishing the translations that were waiting to be completed. He called Zheng An and mentioned himself. A request to formally seek a job at a publishing house.

It was very refreshing over there. He told Lu Xing about a few lingering positions, and he chose the one closest to his major. One day, he went for a fake interview, and received the 'admission notice' two days later. In this way, he became a glorious official social animal.

After all, it was also the first day of officially working as a social person. Lu Xing went to the city to pack up a suit of clothes for himself. After all, Buddha depends on gold clothes and people depend on clothes. Wearing small clothes like this really has such a meaning.

As a result, when he first entered the office, Lu Xing was stunned. The editing room was full of checkered shirts and jeans, which set off his suit like a wolf like a tiger.

Zheng An walked over and laughed loudly: "It's not so formal. Just come and come. These are some materials related to this job. Just read them before today."

Lu Xing took it awkwardly, thinking, the first day at work is really different from what he imagined.

I was fascinated by reading the information, and after a while I got off work. Everyone agreed to have a dinner together, and the newcomer Lu Xing also followed. Someone saw Lu Xing casually said at the dinner table:

"I heard that Xiaolu graduated from S University as a graduate student? What a talent! Why did you come to work in a small publishing house in our small city?"

Zheng An said: "Xiaolu is an interpreter, so where is it not doing the job? Isn't it?"

Lu Xing cast him a grateful look, looked at the people in front of him, and said, "Yes, I also want to thank our editorial office for not looking down on me, a jobless vagrant, for taking me in."

Then came the second round of 'torture'. Newcomers in each department seemed to have to pay extra attention at this time. What a boring corporate culture.

"How old is Xiaolu this year?"

"28..."

This time it was Zheng An who was surprised, and said: "I kept yelling at Xiaolu Xiaolu, so you are two years older than me, haha."

"You don't graduate until you're 28?" Colleague A said.

"Yes, I took the exam three times."

"Oh... that's not bad, after all, it's a big city of S." Colleague B asked another sensitive question: "Then why didn't you stay in city S? Big cities are good, everything is convenient, unlike our fourth-tier small city."

This time the provocative colleague A said again, with a very low EQ: "Hey, who wouldn't want to stay?"

God, God, what kind of boring and speechless human relationship is this?

It's not that Lu Xing can't handle it, he laughed at himself a few times, and changed the topic, and while he was pushing glasses and changing glasses, there was another scene of amicable colleagues loving each other.

After the meal, Zheng An walked side by side with him, apologetic in his words: "I'm sorry, Brother Lu, it's all my fault for saying that you graduated from S University, otherwise they wouldn't have come out like this today, "

He looked at Lu Xing, a little embarrassed: "But what they said is really good. It's been so many years since the publishing house, and there's never been one with your education, so they'll have to ask a little more."

"Don't, just keep calling me Xiaolu. I'm just a newcomer and I have a lot to learn. You're my senior. There's no age difference in the workplace. It's up to you."

Lu Xing couldn't laugh or cry, Zheng An felt relieved after hearing this, and patted him on the shoulder:

"To be honest, you can cope with it today, much better than the ones who just came in before, but I don't know if I am careless, I always feel that you don't like this very much, I'm sorry Xiaolu, I worked with you a few times before. Yue, as for me, I have already regarded you as a friend, so I speak more casually."

"It's all right."

On the bus home, Lu Xing was alone in the car looking out the window at night, recalling Zheng An's words, couldn't help but answer yes in his heart.

Yes, his personality is a bit utopian, that's why he likes such a person and does so many weird things, but now he is not a student, nor is he in an ivory tower, so he has to learn to face reality and move forward. Looked before.

Just like today, if you obviously don't like it in your heart, you still laugh and drink and pretend to be happy. Isn't this the status quo of most professional people?It's just that he got started a little late, so he has to spend more effort to adapt to this cruel and realistic world without Gu Yuanzhi.

I found a job, but it’s a pity that it’s still far away from home. I reversed the car several times and added the walking time, and the commute to and from get off work was almost three hours.

After finally arriving home, Lu Xing's heart, which had been tense all day, finally relaxed a little when he saw the familiar big courtyard.

He finally understood the kind of peace of mind and joy that a person who has been busy with all day can feel when he returns home. Sure enough, no matter what, there must be a safe haven.

Lu Xing walked towards the door step by step, and then suddenly heard scattered voices.

The closer he was to his home, the clearer the voice of the conversation, Lu Xing was sure now, there was someone standing at the door of his house, probably waiting for him.

During the conversation, he seemed to hear some path, the voice was quite familiar, he walked over quickly, and asked tentatively: "Brother?"

Tang Siye turned his head, saw him smiling, hung up the phone in his hand, and said, "Sure enough, I found the right one, it really is here."

"....." To be honest, Lu Xing was still very confused when Tang Siye came to the door. After inviting him into the house to make tea, Lu Xing saw the DSLR hanging on Tang Siye's chest. Question: "Brother, did you come from City C? How about Haitang over there?"

"It's beautiful." Tang Siye raised the camera in his hand and said, "I took a lot of photos. If you want to see them, I'll export them and send them to you later."

So he exchanged WeChat messages with Tang Siye, his biggest 'rival in love' in the past, and got a few beautiful photos of crabapple flowers in full bloom. Tang Siye is indeed omnipotent and perfect, even taking pictures. Simple, yet artistic.

"What are you laughing at?" Tang Siye asked curiously

Lu Xing hurriedly said: "No...just thought of some funny things, brother, have you ever learned photography before? The photos are really good."

These words made Tang Siye smile: "Really? It's not considered as having studied it. I can do it after studying it. In fact, it is far worse than the professional ones."

"yes..."

Then he was speechless, after all, the person standing in front of him was Tang Siye, he was not nervous and had shortness of breath, but he couldn't ask why Tang Siye came here and what happened.

During the 30 seconds of silence, Tang Siye still spoke nonchalantly: "Xiaolu?"

"Sorry, the original plan has changed. I may have to stay around here for a few more days. Do you mind if I live here? I will pay the rent. I hope you don't mind."

What kind of magical plot direction is this? No matter how small L City is, there are still one or two decent hotels, so you don't have to live in his small shabby house, right?

That's what I thought in my heart, but when I said it: "Of course I don't mind, you can stay as long as you want, brother."

Look, the duplicity of social people.

So Lu Xing "lived together" with Tang Siye inexplicably. Although this sounds a bit awkward, who would have thought that this is actually a real thing.

But to Lu Xing's relief, although Tang Siye lives in the same room with him, it is not really a disturbance to Lu Xing. If the weather is good, Tang Siye will go out to take pictures with his camera on his back, or It is to go out to pick greens with a drawing board on your back, and to take pictures.

The bag he carries is like Doraemon's treasure bag, and he can always take out something from it that makes Lu Xing amazed.

Lu Xing had to go to work during the day, left early in the morning and came back late, and didn't see Tang Siye a few times a day, but when he came back, the room was always neat and tidy, and there were even steaming meals prepared, Moved by Lu Xing, tears welled up in his eyes, and he thought for a moment that he didn't know when he begged for a wife.

Thinking of this, he burst out laughing, Tang Siye put down the bowl and chopsticks and said, "Xiao Lu, what are you laughing at this time?"

He hurriedly said: "Nothing, nothing." Just kidding, if he told his imagination just now, how could he have a little life to live? The group of people in S City are probably going to kill him first.

Don't look at Tang Siye who looks like him now, just an ordinary young man, but Lu Xing never forgets the awe he has for him. Although he doesn't know what happened to Tang Siye and wants to hide here for a while, but Tang Siye was Tang Siye, no matter how low he went, Lu Xing would not be able to reach him.

He has long since woken up from the dream, and he no longer expects those high-level animals that fly in the sky. Since Tang Siye is willing to stay here, he has no reason to drive him away. Anyway, he can't stay here for the rest of his life. When the time comes, he will leave. , say goodbye decently, say goodbye, and never meet again, isn't that better than anything?

"The hillside here is so beautiful, I was afraid of taking a lot of photos in the afternoon." Tang Siye said.

Lu Xing echoed: "I also think our place is good. Before I went to S City when I was a child, I loved to run all over the mountains and plains. I am much more free than now."

"Are you uncomfortable now?" Tang Siye said again: "By the way, Xiaolu, you have been working for several days, and I haven't had time to prepare an entry gift for you. Do you have anything you like? I will give it to you tomorrow. you buy it."

"No need!" Lu Xing said, "It's just a small job, so I don't need any inaugural gifts. It's quite far from here to the city, so don't worry about it."

"No trouble, I just ran out of paint, I should go buy some, so I will go to work with you tomorrow."

The tone was gentle, but it was not negotiable. Lu Xing cleaned up the dishes and washed them, and saw Tang Siye wearing only a thin white T-shirt, sitting in the living room, holding a brush in one hand, and drawing with his back facing him. painting.

This is really a person with such an excellent back view, Lu Xing thought.

Just as Tang Siye planned, he and Lu Xing went to work in the rising sunlight, got off the car and Lu Xing said goodbye to him, explaining the locations of some paint shops, Tang Siye waved goodbye to him, and after a while After the car left, Lu Xing turned around and entered the company.

The work he is doing now is actually not much different from when he was a part-time translator. It is just that there are more clerks who organize documents. It is not hard work, but it is not too passionate. It is enough in small cities, but for young people, the motivation will be much reduced.

Lu Xing avoided this question for the time being, and planned to get by for a while. After all, people's ideas change every now and then. In short, so far, he is quite satisfied with his life.

At noon, I received Zhao Yiran's WeChat. He sent a picture to Lu Xing. When I clicked on it, it looked like a promotional poster. Before I looked at it carefully, Zhao Yiran's voice came over: "Did you see it, did you see it!"

Wasn't it blocked by you before I had time to look at it? Lu Xing had no choice but to zoom in on the picture and finally saw the luminous band in the corner.

"Did you see it this time? Sister Xin and their band have received work again. I saw this by accident. Sister Xin is so amazing!"

Lu Xing couldn't help pouring cold water on it: "This kind of work is not good, they have also formed a band for several months."

As a younger brother, he naturally sees much more than Zhao Yiran, and has much more worries.

"Which singer goes smoothly as soon as he debuts? I think it's good. Things are always getting better step by step, aren't they?"

Yeah, things are always getting better step by step.

It was strange when I came home after work. The room was pitch dark, and Tang Siye hadn't come back. After all, I got used to living with him for a few days. He hesitated and sent Tang Siye a WeChat message: " Brother, are you still coming back today?"

There was no response for a long time. It seems that Tang Siye was delayed by the matter. He couldn't ask any more questions. He put down his phone and went to the bathroom to take a shower. The tired-looking Tang Siye opened the door and came in. Lu Xing faced him and called out, "You're back."

Tang Siye looked tired, but still smiled at him: "Sorry, there are too many things, I only saw your message at the door."

"It's all right... did you buy what you wanted today?"

He originally intended to refer to Tang Siye's paints, but indirectly reminded Tang Siye, he took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from his bag and handed it to Lu Xing: "I wish you a happy new job, Xiaolu."

Lu Xing took it, looked at Tang Siye's pale face, and finally asked, "Are you... all right? What happened?"

"It's okay, I'm just a little tired after a day of shopping, Xiaolu, I'll go to bed first, if someone comes to see me, just say I'm not here."

Naturally, Tang Siye didn't want to say more, so he swiped past in a few words. After that, he went into the bathroom to wash up, and after he came out, he went into the room. Lu Xing didn't want to ask too many questions at this time, and he also went into the room to sleep after a while.

The next day was the weekend, and the Monday was off. Lu Xing could finally relax for a short time. He wanted to let his temper sleep until the sun basked in his butt. Unexpectedly, the knocking on the door kept ringing early in the morning. Lu Xing was so annoyed that he tossed and turned several times and couldn't continue to sleep. He couldn't bear it any longer, so he lifted the quilt and slammed the door, and left the room angrily.

There was no one there, and the door of Tang Siye's room was closed, and he always had a strict schedule. At this point, Tang Siye should have woken up a long time ago, and it was so noisy outside, why didn't he respond at all?

Lu Xing opened the door according to this doubt, and only opened a small gap. The people outside couldn't wait to stretch their arms in, and opened the door with an unstoppable force.

Lu Xing was taken aback, and after seeing who the uninvited guest who broke into the door early in the morning was, his eyes turned black and he wished that the time could go back to 1 minute ago, even if he was killed by noise, he would never get up and open this Door.

"Hi, long time no see." The outsider, Yushu Linfeng, is a romantic and suave young man who is rare and talented, but unfortunately, he is also an out-and-out lunatic, a big lunatic.

Lu Xing never expected to meet this person again at this place when he was here. He froze on the spot, unable to speak, and the door was about to be closed when he realized it. How could Tang Siqing let him do what he wanted?Lu Xing was pried open with a slight swipe of his hand, and he entered the door loudly, as if he was looking for something, his eyes swept around, and quickly settled in front of the closed door:

"Well, it smells like him, Lu Xing, Tang Siye has been sleeping in this room for the past few days?"

Lu Xing: Oh, this is to find my brother.

Tang Siqing was Tang Siqing, and he started to fall ill after saying a few words, and then began to tsk-tsk and look disgusted: "Our young master Tang was well-clothed and well-fed since he was a child, where did he live in such a dilapidated house?"

When Lu Xingbai'er was about to roll his eyes to the sky, Tang Siqing turned his head and reached out to him, as it should be, "the key."

Lu Xing went up to open the door, but Tang Siqing said, "Don't try, it must be locked. Where's the spare key?"

He didn't believe in evil, so he twisted the handle, and it was locked by Tang Siye, but he looked at Tang Siqing in front of him, remembered Tang Siye's words last night, and decided to shake his head sternly: "There is no key, and Senior Brother Tang told me, This door can’t be opened, so let him have a good rest.”

"Okay." Tang Siqing said, took a few steps back, put on a fighting posture, made Lu Xing smart, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Kick the door. Didn't you say you don't have a key? I don't think your door is very tight. It probably opened in less than three clicks. Lu Xing, let me make way so that I don't accidentally hurt you."

This lunatic's expression is too serious, Lu Xing has no doubt that he will carry out the plan seriously, there is no way out, so he quietly went to the bedroom and took out the key, Tang Siqing took it from him with a smile, and said with a smile: "Hey, what a coincidence No, the key appeared again."

He really wanted to tear off Tang Siqing's stinking mouth.

Tang Siqing unceremoniously twisted the key to open the door, and opened the room as he wished. It was pitch black inside. He didn't turn on the light, and he walked to the window and opened the curtain. The room was instantly bright, and the person on the bed was light He twisted his body slightly and let out a low moan of pain.

Tang Siqing moved quickly, rushing to the bed like an arrow, and lifted the quilt, revealing Tang Siye with disheveled hair and flushed face.

He put the back of his hand on Tang Siye's forehead, and sneered: "Run, let you run, it's all right now, I'll burn you to death."
