Breaking up, such a simple word, falls into the perspective of different people, but it can give rise to different understandings.

At what moment did the breakup become a fact.Is it the moment when one party speaks and makes a verdict, is it when both parties learn to take back their concern, or is it when they finally look at each other speechlessly and wave goodbye.

Tao Ran thought the breakup was an instant.Perhaps Xu Yuan thought it was a process.Such disagreements were unexpected and unavoidable, and when things came to an end, they had no choice but to face them bravely.

"Pour yourself what you want to drink." Tao Ran sat down on the side sofa, his body sank into the soft leather, only feeling more tired: "I'm a little dizzy, I'm too lazy to stand up."

Xu Yuan didn't know what he was thinking, it seemed that he went back after get off work and changed his clothes before coming here.When he was wearing a suit, he was heroic, but now he changed back to casual clothes, and his whole person showed indescribable innocence.Tao Ran was inexplicably dazzled, and quickly withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.

"No, I'm not here to drink water."

"So you know what you're here for?" Facing him, Tao Ran always seemed to have a hard time controlling his temper: "Last night, I thought you'd finally become sensible. It seems that I really hid After the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth day, but if I haven't changed the combination of the door lock for a day, you have to be mentally prepared for you to come here on a whim, right?"

People who have drunk get angry, it really doesn't matter.Tao Ran seldom spoke in this manner, and Caesar was so frightened that he arched his back and was ready to jump out at any time.

Xu Yuan was speechless.

As the older party, Tao Ran always played the role of tolerance, tolerance, and even teaching among them. When they were in a stalemate, he would always take the initiative to step down for Xu Yuan.If the other party is still emotional, he may need to coax him to smile.

This is his first love.Xu Yuan didn't know whether it was a personality or a commonality in the relationship.When Tao Ran was willing to pamper him, he would be confident and trustworthy when he made disasters.Only one day, all this was taken back by him.

He's really not used to it, he has no experience in dealing with such ordinary silence.Subconsciously, he was still expecting that Tao Ran would pull him into his arms like he had done countless times in the past, and said with a smile that he was as difficult to deal with as a child.

Tao Ran sat there with a tired face, as if too much energy had been consumed by what he said just now.Xu Yuan was stunned for a long time, and finally had to speak.

"I... just wanted to see you."

It is not invisible during the day.The words were clumsy, Tao Ran ignored him.

"What happened years ago was all my fault. I already know that I was wrong. Now that you are no longer in the company, we have no worries. I think maybe You can forgive me. I want to start over with you. "

There was another burst of anger, Tao Ran took a deep breath, and suppressed his unspeakable irritability: "Xu Yuan, we talked about this last time, I really don't know what you want me to say so that you can understand. Wu Yueyin and I can't give what you want, but if you can give it over there, it's understandable for you to help them. But since you didn't consider the things between you and me when you made your decision, then there is no forgiveness..."

What else can I say, nothing to say, nothing to say.

Xu Yuan's eyes had already started to glow, Tao Ran told himself not to look, but still said to death: "We have already broken up. Not everything can start again."

The owner likes to be quiet, there is not even a bell in the house.In the dead silence at the end of the road, Xu Yuan said softly in a hoarse voice: "You have always been soft-hearted, Tao Ran, why do you force yourself to speak so utterly."

Thousands of nostalgia are gone like lights.But his longing for a ray of light accurately hit the sadness in Tao Ran's heart that he hadn't had time to clear up.

The person who makes the decision first is not without pain.

Xu Yuan, who was really impressed by his stupidity back then, and Xu Yuan, who was holding his head in front of him and refused to look up, squeezed his heart hard, and squeezed out the sour juice from it.

The only way out now is to let him disappear from his eyes.

"Do you know why I resigned?"

Xu Yuan didn't say a word.

"Let me teach you one last thing. When the time is right, you must know how to admit defeat. Don't bring yourself shame."

Xu Yuan rushed out the door.

Behind him, Tao Ran slowly covered his eyes.

The city is big enough, thousands of lights are on, and different plots are staged under each light.

It was late at night, and Chang Zheng woke up miraculously after sleeping for a few hours.He turned over as gently as possible, but Du Liangheng was still woken up, and muttered in a daze, "I should go..."

The quilt was still warm, and a stream of moonlight slanted through the gap between the curtains was as tender as water. Chang Zheng watched quietly for a while, and gradually began to soften his heart.A comfortable bedroom and a night where he can sleep peacefully until dawn, maybe that's all he can give Du Liangheng.

In the conversation in the bar a few hours ago, he had already cut off the possibility of deep conversation with each other.His sense of proportion is here, I hope Du Liangheng is smart and sensible, and can understand people's words.

After a slap, always send a sweet date.

"What are you going to do? It's already midnight, so you can sleep here."

Du Liangheng still struggled to sit up: "I have to go to work tomorrow. Let my colleagues see that I haven't changed. Isn't this causing trouble for myself?"

Chang Zheng lay still: "Is it so strange that you, a single man, occasionally stay away all night?"

Du Liangheng turned back and smiled at him: "So, do you have any clothes here for me to change?"

The young man's handsome profile caught Chang Zheng's attention like a whirlpool: "So, why don't you leave?"

Having said that, the next step is naturally a gentle breeze and a drizzle.

Du Liangheng's completely relaxed body is like a small boat that he can control, anything.Just looking at his face, in fact, he doesn't look much like him.It's just that this preoccupied melancholy and affectionate eyes really remind Chang Zheng of his childhood in a small town.

Regarding this matter in the bedroom, Chang Zheng thought he was very gentle and considerate.Du Liangheng is a hedonist, his obsession and active entanglement seem to be able to make up for a little bit of the huge hole in Chang Zheng's heart.

But every time he left, the void became more hideous.

In all fairness, Chang Zheng also wanted to ask what kind of mentality Du Liangheng had in getting out with him again and again.Sometimes Du Liangheng would be curious and he didn't want to answer, and sometimes he would be soft-hearted. Du Liangheng happened to be calm.

In such a cyclical and precarious balance, both parties in the game have their own ghosts, but they never get tired of it, thus forming a very interesting relationship.

There were too many scenes at night, the next day Zheng Zheng and Tao Ran met in the meeting room of the client company, and immediately saw in the other party's eyes somewhat similar exhaustion to his own.

It is not simply fatigue, but the tacit understanding of middle-aged people, the burnout in the busy life.

After a few days of acquaintance, the two people who were still at loggerheads suddenly looked at each other and smiled.

"According to our current speed, how many days will we stay here?"

Tao Ran was waiting for the first interview subject arranged in the morning to come in, while flipping through the previous records.Few people tell the truth. Asking and asking are all cautious and self-righteous temptations.

"As far as the interview is concerned, at least until tomorrow."

"What do you mean by this, do you know something that I don't?"

Talking to smart people is really easy, Chang Zheng smiled and replied: "Yes, I was just about to tell you a terrible news. Your old monster emailed me half an hour ago, saying that you will continue to hire us as a second- and third-tier city expansion plan."

Tao Ran froze for three seconds, then let out a long sigh: "There is no end to this."

"Why, wasn't he like this before?"

"Never." Tao Ran didn't mind sharing more stories about the past. It seems that the two of them may not be able to escape from this project for at least a month or two. , Including my personnel department, several core departments are fighting. The old man sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, and has been watching the drama in the middle. By the end of last year, the winners and losers were decided in several games, and then he started to make a difference. I Guess, either the time has come, or the headquarters put pressure on him."

"With all due respect, it is too late for your industry to think of expanding to the second and third tiers until now."

Tao Ran smiled and didn't care: "Then you also forgive me. Now there are no 'you', only 'us'."

Oh, we.

This Tao Ran, when he was serious, there was no emotion on his face, and when he smiled or encountered a personal matter, there were endless stories between his brows.

That subtle contrast actually made his heart itch.

What Tao Ran meant, of course, was that he himself had switched jobs, and everything about his former company had nothing to do with him.But no one is such a pure and innocent boy, Chang Zheng calmed down, as if by magic, there was an unspeakable warmth between the two people sitting very close to each other.

This is not a good sign.

Tao Ran hurriedly put his thoughts into his notebook, and slowly sorted out a little bit of context from the lines answered by different people, and drafted the part of the report he was in charge of.

Chang Zheng stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, facing the thin sunlight in the gaps of the tall buildings, and started calling to take care of several other projects in his hands that did not require his presence.

"Yes, that's what I mean. It's better for you to take a trip together... Okay, money or not, it's the company's business, not your consideration. Yes, if anyone asks, you can say, it's me the meaning of."

Hearing that he finally died, Tao Ran has just joined the job after all, so he should seize the opportunity to inquire about the company's operations: "The project manager under your management is not on a business trip, will anyone else come to ask?"

Chang Zheng had already returned to work, and his eyes became more determined: "Hmph, I haven't been promoted for a long time, and they all pretend to be helping me."

Seeing that he was not hiding anything from himself, Tao Ran opened up and said, "Will the client intervene when the client contacts you?"

"Of course I am responsible."

Tao Ran stopped typing on the keyboard, and smiled teasingly: "So you know the situation best. Whether your people should go on a business trip or not, they dare to talk too much. It seems that you have not been promoted for a long time, and the country is not stable. "

Chang Zheng couldn't control himself for a while, and blurted out: "Now that I have you, my country is stable or not. From now on, it depends on you."

Tao Ran's expression was as usual: "Who asked me to be with you on the first project. It's not sure who will help who. It's boring to be polite... It's almost done."

If the ending sounds pointed, both of them listened as a wake-up call.

Yep, almost got it.
