It was already ten o'clock in the morning when Jiang Huai woke up, and the other side of the bed had been empty for some time, it was already cold to the touch, and there were dozens of missed calls from Zheng Lin on the phone screen.

Before he could call back, Zheng Lin called again.

"Where the hell did you go?" On the plane at three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Huai disappeared. Zheng Lin and the others were in a hurry, thinking that something happened to him.

Jiang Huai turned on the speakerphone and put the phone aside, picked up the clothes from the ground, and asked calmly while wearing them, "Is there something wrong?"

Lin Zheng was so choked that he wanted to curse, so he found a quiet place and asked under his breath, "Did you go to see Bai Yu?"

Jiang Huai buttoned his shirt one by one and said, "Yes."

"What's wrong with you? No wonder I couldn't get through when I called him. Didn't you have an indifferent attitude before, why did you turn around and look for someone? You still don't return at night. What do you mean?"

Jiang Huai opened the bedroom door, looked around, confirmed that Bai Yu was indeed not there, picked up the phone and asked Lin Zheng: "Where did he go?"

"How do I know?!" Lin Zheng said angrily, "Didn't you go to find him? You asked me?"

Jiang Huai frowned and said nothing.

"Okay, come back quickly, we have to prepare to go back to the country, we are waiting for you." Before hanging up the phone, he cursed again, "It's all your fucking fault, I wanted to have dinner with Xiaobai."

Jiang Huai didn't care about Lin Zheng's urging, first flipped through Bai Yu's tutorial books on the table in the living room, then turned and went into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator to check the storage, and finally went to the bathroom to wash up.

There are two mouthwash cups on the sink, one blue and one yellow toothbrushes and toothpaste of the same brand, and towels of different stripes are placed side by side, as well as different supplies such as facial cleanser, razor, mouthwash, etc. Divide you and me and pile them together.

Jiang Huai looked down for a while, then threw the yellow toothbrush mouthwash cup and yellow striped towel into the trash can like a neurotic, washed his face casually, and went out the door.

Lin Zheng was waiting in the lobby of the hotel, when he saw Jiang Huai coming in, he immediately asked, "Where's Xiaobai?"

Jiang Huai ignored him, and said to the assistant following him, "Prepare a lunch for me and send it to the room."

Lin Zheng was not his subordinate, so he didn't bother to show him face, so he blocked his way and asked slightly angrily, "Where did Xiaobai go? His phone can't be reached."

"I don't know." Jiang Huai stroked his hand away, "If you're worried about him, go find him. It's useless to ask me."

Lin Zheng was already tired of his appearance, and asked directly in front of the people around him: "Why are you pretending to be an innocent victim? Xiaobai did something wrong, so are you innocent?"

Jiang Huai didn't know if he had been poked in the foot, so he stopped putting on the attitude that it had nothing to do with him, turned his head and said with a cold face: "I'm not innocent, just let him attack me, don't act like a coward escape."

"You—" Lin Zheng's cell phone rang, and the dispute was interrupted in a timely manner.

"Xiaobai! Where are you? Why can't you get through the phone?" Zheng Lin asked anxiously. Jiang Huai glanced at him and turned to leave.

Bai Yu's voice sounded a little weak, and he spoke weakly, "I'm at home. Sorry, I didn't take my mobile phone out."

While Lin Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was also a little worried, and asked hesitantly, "Did Jiang Huai look for you yesterday?"

Bai Yu paused there, then said calmly, "Well, we chatted casually."

Lin Zheng naturally didn't believe it, but he didn't want to force Bai Yu, so he said helplessly, "I wanted to have dinner with you, but I have to go back to China in the afternoon."

"Next time, have a nice trip."

Lin Zheng could tell that Bai Yu didn't want to talk any more, so he had to give some instructions and hung up the phone.

Jiang Huai's head was actually very painful. When he was talking to Lin Zheng, he felt like passing out. He went back to the room and took a hot shower. When he came out, the assistant had already put lunch on the dining table. Clothes and other things were neatly packed into the suitcase.

Jiang Huai didn't move the things on the table, but sat in front of the bed, staring at the phone in a daze.

Last night, Bai Yu's trembling and fragile appearance was entangled from reality to dream, and Jiang Huai admitted that he regretted it a little.

But it wasn't a sudden impulse. He traveled thousands of miles to Switzerland, of course not to give any ghost lectures.

In fact, a year after Bai Yu left, Jiang Huai and Yu Lan met each other.It's not that we met on purpose, but it just happened that our ex-friends got married, so we put them at the same table without meddling.

After the wedding was over, Yu Lan stopped Jiang Huai and told him what Bai Yu had said, with a bit of schadenfreude in her tone.

Jiang Huai had already let go of Yu Lan, and when he learned that he had a new partner, he even generously expressed his blessings. Yu Lan said with a smile: "I think Bai Yu is leaving in a hurry, and he is about to leave soon. You have made a strategy. I advise you to act quickly, the streets are full of handsome guys abroad, what should he do if he falls in love with someone else?"

The joke didn't get the expected response, Yu Lan thought he was boring, curled her lips, said goodbye casually, got in the car and left.

Jiang Huai stood there for a long while, thinking about the subtext in Yu Lan's words, and couldn't help but think of Bai Yu's current situation, which was investigated by people - working part-time in a gallery, sharing a rent with a brother from the same department, failing two exams, and some in the group A well-known playboy in the school made friends with him and won a prize in the competition. A mixed-race girl from the computer department confessed to him...

When he was still trapped in the vortex of the past, Bai Yu had withdrawn without any regrets, and walked forward with great strides.

Compared with the childish question of "why", what Jiang Huai felt first was panic.

Bai Yu's position in his heart is different.The two parents have a close relationship and have frequent contacts. They have been together since childhood. Although Bai Yu is one year younger than him, they have been going to school together since kindergarten.

Maybe because his parents are not around, he spends most of his time dependent on others, Bai Yu is more sensible than children of the same age, and he even makes way for Jiang Huai most of the time.

Contrary to being calm and stable now, Jiang Huai was very mischievous when he was a child, and he came up with all the prank ideas, and Bai Yu was in charge of being his little brother.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival when he was six years old, Jiang Huai took Bai Yu to the persimmon forest in the back mountain while the adults were not paying attention.It was an orchard planted by a neighbor. Jiang Huai thought about it for a long time. The two little kids picked off half of the green persimmons in the garden. .

The black back was not docile at all, and he opened his mouth to salivate at the persimmons in their arms. Jiang Huai was so frightened that he wanted to stand in front of Bai Yu bravely, but when the dog rushed over, he was frightened. Jiao couldn't move a single step, but Bai Yu threw away the persimmon and dragged him back home in one breath.

Bai Yu took the blame for him, saved him from scolding, but made him firmer in his determination to protect Bai Yu in the future.

He and Bai Yu are no longer just friends, they are like family members, that's why when Bai Yu betrayed him, he was so furious.

Jiang Huai hated Bai Yu's actions, but he couldn't accept that Bai Yu would never interact with him again and become an important presence in other people's lives.

So he found such a high-sounding excuse to anger Bai Yu - now what he cares about is not the three years that Bai Yu delayed, nor the first love that ended without a problem, but the gradual drift away of that brother-in-law.

It doesn't matter if you hate, it's better to owe each other for the rest of your life than to be strangers.

Lin Zheng didn't speak to Jiang Huai until he arrived at the airport.

While waiting for the plane, the phone rang suddenly. Lin Zheng glanced at Jiang Huai, picked it up and said loudly on purpose: "Oh, Xiaobai! What's wrong?"

Jiang Huai looked down at the tablet and ignored his performance.

It was Lin Zheng who said a few words and handed him the phone.

"Xiaobai is looking for you!" Zheng Lin said impatiently.

Jiang Huai froze for a moment, then took it.

Bai Yu heard that there had been a replacement, and was silent for a few seconds before asking, "Are you going back to your country?"

Jiang Huai's heart skipped a beat, but his tone was calm, "Well, what's the matter?"

Bai Yu paused, and said, "Can you stop looking for me next time? Give me another year. When I graduate, I will return to China. You can pay back whatever you want."

Jiang Huai was still nervous and fell into the ice cave in an instant. He gritted his teeth and asked, "What do you mean?"

Bai Yu was stunned by the anger in his tone, and was about to explain again when Jiang Huai had already hung up the phone.

Jiang Huai stood up suddenly, threw the phone to Lin Zheng, turned to his assistant and said, "Help me change the ticket."

"Hey," Lin Zheng was taken aback by him, and cursed at his angry back, "What kind of crazy are you?"

Jiang Huai hung up the phone suddenly, Bai Yu didn't think much about it.

He suffered from insomnia all night yesterday, got up before dawn in the morning, and walked around the Limmat River all morning.

The humiliation Jiang Huai brought to him was overwhelming, and he didn't even have the qualifications to resist.Because guilt has been rooted in his heart for many years, all the pain Jiang Huai brought him was classified as the price of doing something wrong, and he didn't even consider whether it was reciprocal.

The doorbell rang hastily, and Bai Yu got up to open the door, but was taken a step back by Jiang Huai's sharp eyes outside the door, and said in surprise, "You are not..."

"What do you mean?" Jiang Huai interrupted him, "Do you remember what I did last night? I forced you! You should hate me and resent me instead of repaying the fucking debt!"

When Jiang Huai got along with him, he was always calm and relaxed, standing in a high position and looking down at him, it was rare for him to be so out of breath, Bai Yu was dumbfounded by his series of words.

After getting angry, Jiang Huai calmed down a little, but still looked at Bai Yu coldly.

Bai Yu stared at him blankly for a while, then lowered his eyes and asked, "Then how should I pay it back?"

Jiang Huai was about to laugh angrily. This might be shooting himself in the foot. At the beginning, he said he never wanted to see Bai Yu again, but Bai Yu immediately went away and asked Bai Yu to pay back. Bai Yu even dared to do free ducks.

He tried his best to calm down, and said right away, "Be like a cow instead of a horse."

Jiang Huai wrote a blank sheet of paper, buckled up the pen and threw it to Bai Yu, who took it over.

Debt repayment management agreement: The following regulations will come into effect after Party B graduates and returns to China.First, Party B enters UE to work as a designer, and is responsible for UE design with a basic salary; second, Party B is responsible for Party A’s daily necessities, food, housing and transportation, and is on call; third, Party A has the right to know and make suggestions on Party B’s interpersonal communication; Fourth... The above regulations have a time limit of three years and will be automatically lifted upon expiration.

Sitting across from Bai Yu, Jiang Huai looked at him and said, "Since you said you were delaying me for three years, let's pay it back for three years."

Bai Yu nodded expressionlessly, read it hastily, took a blank sheet of paper and started copying, "I'll make a copy."

He handed the signed agreement to Jiang Huai and motioned him to sign.

Jiang Huai stared at him for several minutes before he took the pen and signed it. Before Bai Yu could speak, he got up and left.

The elevator slowly went up and stopped on the fifth floor to open and close. Jiang Huai looked at the closed apartment door and crumpled the paper in his hand into a rotten ball.

The trash can downstairs was full, and Jiang Huai stood a meter away and threw the ball of paper into it.

He didn't leave after throwing it away. He stood there for a few seconds and said softly, "Are you a fool?"

"I just hope you don't forget me."
