Mr. Zhao Fei's house squatting neighbor

10

Zhao Fei cried for a long time at Xu Chaoran's house that day.It's like pouring out the emotions that have been suppressed for the past few years.Xu Chaoran comforted him in a cold joke at first, "Crying like this just after eating is not good for digestion." Then he just hugged him silently, provided him with a warm arm, and let him cry as much as he wanted enough.

After returning home and lying on his bed, Zhao Fei still twitched.His eyes will definitely be swollen and ugly tomorrow... As he thought this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly involuntarily.

With a relaxed mood that he hadn't felt in a long time, he closed his eyes and fell into a good sleep.Even the one-hour grooming routine before going to bed was unconsciously forgotten by him amidst the warm feeling of happiness.

Monday morning.It was clearly the beginning of a new week, but Zhao Fei was sitting in the office seat, feeling continuous fatigue and powerlessness.

"The report hasn't been sent yet?" He frowned and said to the accountant of the branch company on the phone. "It will take time for us to put it all together, so we won't be able to catch up with the end of the day after tomorrow. When will it be done?"

After finishing the call, Zhao Fei heaved a long sigh in his heart.He habitually picked up the cup and wanted to drink black coffee to refresh himself, but found that he had already drank the whole cup of coffee that he made in the morning.

Before the report from the branch came, the work on his side could not be carried out.Zhao Fei simply stood up, talked to his colleagues, and walked to the tea room with the cup.

The cup was placed on the tea room table, and he went to the bathroom first to use the toilet.After he washed his hands and returned to the tea room, he suddenly saw the general manager standing in front of the water dispenser, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Not wanting to stay any longer, he picked up his cup. "Hello Mr. Zheng." After whispering something, he turned around and was about to leave.

The left wrist was caught. "Xiao Fei, you haven't poured the water yet, have you?"

A tingling hot feeling suddenly spread throughout Zhao Fei's body from the place where the two skins touched.He almost subconsciously wanted to pull out his hand, but Mr. Zheng increased the force of the restraint, leaving Zhao Fei nowhere to escape.

Zheng Ruiduo's eyes turned cold. "Have you decided yet, Xiao Fei?"

Cold sweat rolled down Zhao Fei's forehead.The pinprick-like feeling lingered on the skin, like a snake winding around the body.He swallowed hard and gave up struggling.

"I will return the money I borrowed from you as soon as possible. Moreover, when you signed the IOU, you agreed that I would install it in installments every month..."

"I regret it." Mr. Zheng interrupted him briskly, his eyes full of desire to hunt. "I thought you would understand that this kind of IOU is just a formality, but you really foolishly believed it?"

He clung to Zhao Fei's ear, and said in a low and malicious voice: "Don't make me wait too anxiously. Hurry up and let me see you lying naked on my bed."

The colleague who walked into the tea room looked at Zhao Fei who was standing by the door in a strange way. "Xiao Zhao, what's wrong with you? Your body is not... oops! What's wrong with your face and arms?"

Zhao Fei touched his hot and swollen side face, lowered his head, mumbled a syllable, and rushed out staggeringly.

In the new week, Xu Chaoran was refreshed.He first went out after a long absence, took a taxi to the high-tech development zone in the north of the city, and came to the company where Lao Xie worked.

The front desk brought him a bottle of cold canned Coke.Xu Chaoran pulled the tab with a wry smile, just as Lao Xie pushed the door in with a stack of papers.

"Your company's hospitality hasn't been changed to tea yet?" He took a sip, feeling the cold feeling all over his body.

"Coke is the favorite hobby of middle-aged bald programmers!" Lao Xie patted the top of his head with receding hairline, gleefully blacking himself.

Xu Chaoran looked at the list of expenses.After confirming that it was correct, he took out a signature pen and signed his name on the signature.Lao Xie was so bored, he asked him. "How does it feel to get rich in one day, how does it feel to settle the final payment of three projects at once?"

"Next week, I will return to the state of abject poverty." Xu Chaoran smiled. "I figured out that when the time comes, there will be about 2000 yuan left in the pocket plus savings."

Lao Xie sat up straight. "What are you doing?! Buying a house?"

Xu Chaoran smiled without saying a word.

"Okay, Old Xu," Old Xie punched him on the shoulder, "Have you found a boyfriend?"

The two are friends who have known each other for many years, and they know each other well.Ever since his son was old enough to make soy sauce, Lao Xie has been talking about when Xu Chaoran's personal problems will be resolved.

"What kind of person? Take me to dinner someday." Old Xie suggested with great interest.

"I don't know yet." Xu Chaoran felt embarrassed, rubbing his thumb against the tip of his nose. "Although I really want to develop it..."

"It's not like you, Old Xu, when did you become so hesitant?"

Facing Lao Xie's ridicule, Xu Chaoran smiled with a serious expression. "Because I really like him."

On the way home, Xu Chaoran specially bought more seasonal vegetables and ribs.Today he is going to further hone his culinary skills and cook a more difficult dish - vinegar ribs.

Sitting in the taxi, he excitedly sent a message to Zhao Fei, but did not receive a reply.

Thinking of Zhao Fei's mention that the company he worked in had strict controls on viewing private information during working hours, he didn't take it to heart.After returning home, I touched Huazai a few times in a hurry, and started to process the ribs amidst the unsatisfied whine of the cow cat.

Everything is ready.Xu Chaoran looked at his watch, and before he knew it, it was already 06:30 in the evening.Only then did he realize that he hadn't heard the phone ring.Picked up the phone to check, no texts or calls at all.The message sent to Zhao Fei in the afternoon was still hanging alone in the dialog box.

He is a little strange.Obviously when Zhao Fei left last night, he whispered goodnight to him with a smile and tears, no matter how you look at it, his mood has been relieved.Why did you suddenly not reply to his messages or call?

Xu Chaoran frowned and dialed Zhao Fei's cell phone.

The voice rang for a long time, until the mechanical female voice reminded me to call later, the call was automatically hung up, and no one answered the phone.Xu Chaoran thought for a while, walked to the entrance, changed into his out shoes, and opened the door with the key.

He came to Zhao Fei's door.There is almost no sound insulation in the bachelor apartment, and a slightly louder sound can easily penetrate from the room to the corridor.Xu Chaoran dialed Zhao Fei's phone again, and put his ear on the anti-theft door of Zhao Fei's house.

Faintly, he heard the phone ringing in the room.

Xu Chaoran put away his cell phone and began to knock on the door.

"Xiao Fei? Are you there? Xiao Fei?"

After knocking persistently for 5 minutes, a thin voice came from the door. "Leave me alone..."

"Open the door first." Xu Chaoran put down his sore arm and rubbed his painful knuckles. "Let me take a look at you, and I'll go back."

"Don't..." Zhao Fei's voice choked up.

"Xiao Fei, do you still remember what you said to me before leaving last night?" Xu Chaoran said patiently. "You said that you would consider whether to date me. I think, even if we can't become lovers in the end, we are still friends now, right? If there is anything, please tell me?"

There was a muffled sound from inside the house.Xu Chaoran suddenly became nervous.He knocked hard on the door. "Xiao Fei! Zhao Fei! What's wrong with you! Answer me!"

After a few stumbles, the anti-theft door lock rang.

Xu Chaoran immediately opened the door in fear.Although the sun had not fully set, the room was already pitch black.Zhao Fei drew the curtains of the house tightly.

Xu Chaoran fumbled to turn on the wall lamp in the entrance.The black shadow fell to the floor in front of him.He quickly stepped forward to help Zhao Fei up.

Zhao Fei stubbornly covered his face, not letting go no matter what.Xu Chaoran noticed that in this hot weather, he changed into long-sleeved pajamas again.The skin touched by his fingers was uneven, Xu Chaoran made up his mind, firmly held Zhao Fei's hands and pressed down.

The first thing that came into sight was Zhao Fei's terrified gaze with tears in his eyes.

He helped Zhao Fei to sit on the sofa, held his left arm and looked at it carefully.From the back of the hands to the elbow joints, patches of red rashes appeared on the skin, slightly red.

Xu Chaoran pinched Zhao Fei's chin again. "Don't move." He said softly, carefully examining Zhao Fei's face.Most of the right cheek is also covered with rashes, and the fair skin is swollen and red, which looks particularly eye-catching.

"Is that why you didn't reply to my WeChat?" Xu Chaoran gently touched the rash with his fingertips.A little hot.

Zhao Fei blinked hard - his right eyelid was almost swollen into a seam.Biting his lip, he nodded slowly.

"What an idiot." Xu Chaoran sighed. "Scared me to death. I thought you had an accident. I'm an idiot, too."

Zhao Fei listened to his sigh in embarrassment. "sorry……"

"It's okay, I was thinking too much." Xu Chaoran stood up and took Zhao Fei's hand. "Looks serious. Let's go to the hospital. You're going to itch like hell. Still."

He looked at Zhao Fei who was avoiding his sight.

"After returning from the hospital, I have something to ask you."
