Raiders of that cat

In the end, An Xiuchen didn't get a word of promise from Gu Shaoqing, instead he said "I should go, or I'll be late".

An Xiuchen let go of Gu Shaoqing, he knew that there was nothing missing between them now, what was missing was time.

He is willing to wait, just like Gu Shaoqing waited for him before.

An Xiuchen sent Gu Shaoqing to work, and when he was waiting for the red light, he saw him playing with his mobile phone, so he couldn't help interjecting: "How long have you been a bartender?"

"Not long, just a few months."

An Xiuchen nodded: "Are you learning bartending now? Or did you know it before?"

Gu Shaoqing's hand paused, and a big English "gameover" was displayed on the screen.

"I learned from others abroad before, because I had to pretend to be a bartender to get close to the boss of the local gang, so..." Gu Shaoqing didn't know why he told An Xiuchen this, maybe it was the past, and he didn't care anymore.

An Xiuchen said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions. There are two things that are always taboo about Gu Shaoqing. One is those years abroad, and the other is the incident that happened in the baseball room.

The green light turned on, and when An Xiuchen stepped on the accelerator, there was the sound of the phone vibrating.

An Xiuchen thought it was his own at first, but when Gu Shaoqing picked it up and called out "Tingting" lightly, he realized that he was being self-indulgent.

"I'm on my way to the bar." Gu Shaoqing paused, glanced at An Xiuchen, and deliberately lowered his voice, but there were only the two of them in the car, no matter how soft the voice was, An Xiuchen still heard the sentence "" I'm on the bus and it's about 10 minutes away."

Thinking about it, if Gu Shaoqing told Zhou Tingting to be with her, then Zhou Tingting would have to come here with a knife.

"I have to get off work until five o'clock tomorrow, so I can't accompany you."

An Xiuchen pricked up his ears desperately to hear what Zhou Tingting said, but despite her loud voice on weekdays, she became quiet when she was on the phone, An Xiuchen didn't hear a word.

"I miss you too. Don't study too late. I know you are under a lot of pressure for the postgraduate entrance examination. Take it easy. You study so well and you will definitely pass the exam."

"I know, you're going to retreat again this week, don't worry, I won't bother you."

"Well, that's it, bye."

After hanging up the phone, An Xiuchen's grip on the steering wheel was released.

An Xiuchen pulled the corner of his lips into a forced smile: "Your girlfriend is going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"Well, I want to be admitted to M University, our school."

"The score is very high. There are so many students who apply for M University every year. The highest enrollment ratio is 120. She has to study hard and not focus too much on dating," An Xiuchen babbled After talking a lot, I suddenly remembered something: "No, why did Zhou Tingting go to the postgraduate entrance examination? Didn't you agree to get married after she graduates?"

"People go to high places. She wants a better future, and I can't stop her. Let her go."

Gu Shaoqing said this casually, as if the person who was going to take the postgraduate entrance examination had nothing to do with him.

"If she does pass the exam, then you have to look after her. There are more men than women in M, if you don't pay attention, it will be easy for your girlfriend to..."

"What's mine is mine after all. It's not mine. I can't keep it no matter what." Gu Shaoqing said this, and turned to see An Xiuchen with meaningful eyes: "An Xiuchen, this truth, I think you are better than me." I need to understand."

An Xiuchen glanced at Gu Shaoqing, just this one glance, almost made An Xiuchen hit the bumper of the delivery truck in front.

Fortunately, he slammed on the brakes and survived.

An Xiuchen's back broke out in cold sweat.

Gu Shaoqing sighed: "Your driving is too unsteady, let's change places, let me drive."

An Xiuchen nodded, sitting on the co-pilot, looking at the scenery outside the window, he didn't drive the car unsteadily, but he didn't have a good rest at night, and he was too busy with Shengyuan's affairs in the morning, so he was Gu Shaoqing's two After many hours of being an "old lady", he was exhausted physically and mentally.

As I get older, I don't feel as good physically or mentally as I did when I was in my 20s.

Gu Shaoqing parked the car in front of the bar.

"I'm going to work, you should go back to rest early." Gu Shaoqing dropped these words and was about to get out of the car, but his hand was grabbed by An Xiuchen, and he looked back at An Xiuchen's hesitant expression : "What's wrong? What else is there?"

An Xiuchen originally wanted to go in and accompany him until he got off work, but then he thought about his own body, so he had to change his sentence: "You work hard, I'll go first."

Gu Shaoqing nodded and left without noticing anything unusual.

An Xiuchen stayed at the entrance of the bar for more than ten minutes before driving away. When he got home, An Ruyi was not there. He was lying on the bed exhausted and didn't want to move.

The little fat man got excited and jumped onto the bed. The cat's paws kept rubbing against An Xiuchen's face. Xiu Chen was so tired, he just wanted to move his body and drive the little fat man down, but unexpectedly, he fell out of bed before the little fat man got down.

Now the sleepiness is gone.

An Xiuchen scratched his hair, and Gu Shaoqing made him restless all day outside, but when he came home, this fat cat couldn't get along with him. After all, it was a gift from Gu Shaoqing, and his temper and temperament followed his bad master up!

An Xiuchen rolled up his sleeves, intending to grab the fat cat as a punishment.

The little fat man is also spiritual. Although he usually eats too much and is lazy, the meat on his stomach is piled up layer after layer, but he still has a headache for An Xiuchen when he runs away for his life. After chasing for a long time, he finally catches the fat cat. .

"Run, run again, where did all your teasing me go?"

An Xiuchen grabbed the little fat man's chubby body and shook it back and forth.

The little fat man's ball-like head was turned upside down, which was very funny. An Xiuchen's anger disappeared immediately, and he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Little fat man, are you and Gu Shaoqing demons sent by heaven to torment me?"

"meow"

"One won't let me sleep, the other won't let me sleep, none of them is worry-free. At the beginning, he swore to me that he would be my big dog, but he turned his face and refused to recognize anyone in the blink of an eye. Is I so bad? How can I compare Not the stunted Zhou Tingting?"

"meow"

"You can fight for me too, your dog brother is blind." An Xiuchen sighed and murmured: "I've already taken the initiative, let him go down the steps, and he will just come down, and leave me alone. One day, if I get impatient and really ignore him, he must go crazy."

"Meow..." the little fat man was uncomfortable being held by An Xiuchen, he twisted his body and wanted to break free, but unfortunately, An Xiuchen picked it up and locked it into the cage without saying a word.

Facing the unfamiliar environment, the little fat man stared wide-eyed, put his paws on the cage, and looked at An Xiuchen with a pitiful expression.

"If you don't come here, I won't be soft-hearted, and I won't be fooled. This is the punishment for disturbing my sleep. You can sleep in a hard cage tonight, and I'll let you out tomorrow."

An Xiuchen settled the little fat man, lay on the bed, stared blankly at the ceiling in a daze, and fell asleep after a long time.

An Xiuchen did the same thing and let Gu Shaoqing hang out for two days, but on the third day, An Xiuchen couldn't take it anymore, he was staring at the phone almost staring at something wrong.

He realized that he was more and more like a little girl who was angry with her boyfriend. Where did the free and easy spirit of a man go?

But whenever he meets Gu Shaoqing, An Xiuchen will lose.

Forget it, whoever takes the initiative in matters like feelings is not the one who takes the initiative.

An Xiuchen picked up his mobile phone and was about to call Gu Shaoqing, but he didn't expect a call to come in.

Is it Gu Shaoqing?

When he saw the two-character name displayed on the screen, An Xiuchen's heart turned cold.

"Hey, Qiao Yuan, why did you think of calling me?"

"Xiu Chen, I came to M City on a business trip. Long time no see. How are you doing? Let's meet at noon."

An Xiuchen thought that there was nothing to do at noon, so he agreed.

Qiao Yuan arrived very early, so they haven't seen each other for half a year, and they are busy with each other on weekdays, so they don't talk much on the phone.

"Xiu Chen, here."

An Xiuchen glanced in the direction of the window, and walked over: "You boy, what wind brought you here?"

Qiao Yuan smiled. Although he hadn't contacted for a long time, the sense of familiarity in his bones still didn't diminish at all: "I'm coming to M City to meet clients, and I'll come to see you by the way."

"Your company is getting bigger and bigger. I think it will surpass Shangpinrui in a few years."

"Excuse me." Qiao Yuan signaled the waiter to serve the food, and then said, "How is it? Are you used to staying in M ​​City for the past two years? I heard that you accepted Sheng Yuan's project. Yes, it's finally a comeback." .”

"Well, it's not as exaggerated as you said. I don't ask for anything now, I just want to live in peace and stability."

Qiao Yuan frowned slightly, looked at An Xiuchen and asked in a low voice: "I heard that you found Gu Shaoqing? He is also in M ​​city?"

It's hard for Qiao Yuan to grow a pair of ears.

An Xiuchen didn't intend to hide it either: "Well, I met him."

"Gu Shaoqing... is he okay?"

"pretty good."

"Then you don't plan to make a comeback with him, do you?" After Qiao Yuan said this, his eyes inadvertently saw the ring on An Xiuchen's right hand. It has been many years, and he is still wearing it on his hand. It seems that he What I just asked was superfluous.

"I'm working hard." That's all An Xiuchen could say, after all, Gu Shaoqing didn't agree.

Qiao Yuan lowered his eyes, unable to hide his disappointment. Although he knew that it was impossible for him and An Xiuchen, he was still a little sad.

An Xiuchen didn't pay much attention to Qiao Yuan's emotions. He picked up the cup and drank some water, and suddenly found a familiar figure at the leading table not far away.

He squinted his eyes halfway to see clearly that the person was not Zhou Tingting?

The person sitting across from her should be Gu Shaoqing, but the back view doesn't look like Gu Shaoqing, but another boy.
