I'm really sorry for my low EQ.

"yes……"

After ten seconds or ten minutes, Xu Yang lowered his eyes and patted Xu Miao's head: "Understood, go to bed early."

"Brother?" Xu Miao was startled, looking at Xu Yang who suddenly stood up: "Where are you going so late?"

Xu Yang had already reached the entrance and didn't look back.

"It's okay, you go to sleep."

Xu Miao glanced at her watch and said anxiously, "You don't mean to go to see Brother Yuan, do you?

Xu Yang: "Go to sleep."

"..." Xu Miao inhaled.

Xu Yang sent Wu Yuan a message, but didn't reply.

Not sure if he fell asleep, Xu Yang didn't make a phone call, and drove all the way to Wu Yuan's house. There were fewer cars on the road than when he was leaving just now, and there was almost no sound of horns on both sides.

It was quiet in the car.

The night can always quietly magnify certain details that are usually ignored, such as Wu Yuan's inexplicably red eyes today, such as what he said on the day he went to eat at a roadside stall, "I no longer rely on my seniors since a long time ago". How did he come back when he asked him?

It seems to have diverted the conversation.

The ten fingers were clenched tightly on the steering wheel, and blue and white marks were slowly drawn on the pads of the fingers.

Why did you cry?

Dumplings too bad?Feeling uncomfortable in someone else's house?Miaoer is too bluffing?

The more he thought about it, the more outrageous it became, Xu Yang scratched his hair irritably, stepped on the gas pedal deeply, and the car rushed out with a whine.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped in front of Wu Yuan's house again.

Looking up, it turned out that a row of windows were all black.

The air was a bit stuffy, Xu Yang unbuttoned a few buttons to breathe, and the cold wind blew along his neck, only then did he feel dizzy and hot.

Miaoer was right, it was already this time, of course Wu Yuan had already gone to sleep.

……

Niji usually closes around 11:30.

The guests left almost an hour earlier, and after that, there was checking the inventory, cleaning and other odds and ends. Meng Xiubin sent the last guest away with a smile, turned around and stretched.

She didn't have a good rest for several days, she rubbed her shoulders and yawned, and suddenly heard another voice in her own yawn:

"Aunt Meng."

The voice was low and warm, a little familiar.

"Xiao Xu?"

Meng Xiubin turned around in disbelief, Xu Yang stood at the door and smiled at her: "Is it closed already?"

"No, no!" Meng Xiubin didn't expect Xu Yang to come, and he was so happy that his face was full of smiles: "Why do you want to come to Auntie's place? Come in, come in, what do you want to eat?"

"...I'm not hungry, so I'll just come and sit here." Xu Yang walked in, feeling baffled, he was supposed to go home just now, but when he turned the steering wheel, Niji came.

Meng Xiubin thought for a while, and brought over two plates of sushi and barley tea. She was a little embarrassed when she put them on Xu Yang's table. After all, she was Yuan Yuan's boss. If the chef wasn't off work, she would definitely treat her with delicious food. , was about to explain a few words, Xu Yang had already taken a sip of the selling tea, raised his head and said with a smile: "Thank you."

"..."

Meng Xiubin pursed her lips, just like meeting her for the first time, the more she looked at Yuan Yuan, the boss, the more she liked her.

I can't tell the reason, maybe it's because the young man looks good when he smiles, or he is very good at taking care of people's emotions. Meng Xiubin's heart became hot, and he couldn't help but leaned over to sit down, and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, my family, Yuan Yuan, has been working recently. Is everything okay, he told me the other day that he sold the house and made me and Miao Miao happy—"

"Of course." Xu Yang nodded, with a slight smile on his lips: "Selling three houses within a month is considered top-notch among newcomers."

"Really?!" Meng Xiubin was so pleased that he didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth for a long time and murmured, "Oh, my Yuan Yuan is so promising! being bullied..."

"Pfft." Xu Yang couldn't hold back.

Meng Xiubin: "Xiao Xu?"

"He won't be bullied." Xu Yang clutched the rim of the cup, the corners of his mouth curled up making him look a little proud.

"Two days ago in Green Sea, we even scolded our supervisor there."

"Ah?!" Meng Xiubin was so frightened that he couldn't breathe.

Xu Yang gave her a comforting smile: "And you just said that his temperament is not suitable for sales, I don't think so."

Meng Xiubin: "?"

Xu Yang turned his head and said softly: "It should be said that there is no one more suitable for sales than him."

Meng Xiubin looked at him blankly.

"Xiao Xu..."

After a while, she hesitated and said, "Auntie doesn't know if it's appropriate to say these words in front of you..."

Xu Yang: "Huh?"

Meng Xiubin: "You are a good boy with a warm heart. My Yuanyuan...he kid doesn't know much about the world, and he doesn't pay attention to how to speak. I was thinking, if possible, can I ask you to help me take care of him, so that he will not stumble in the future..."

Xu Yang interrupted her with a chuckle.

"You're too born." He shook his head, with unquestionable eyes, "Even if you don't tell me, I will help him."

Meng Xiubin looked at him with mixed feelings.

She felt that she really met a good person, and curled her fingers tightly on the table: "Thank you, Xiao Xu..."

"It's just that he doesn't necessarily appreciate it." Xu Yang snorted.

"..." Meng Xiubin looked embarrassed.

Xu Yang couldn't hold back anymore, he chuckled, and looked at Meng Xiubin softly: "You really care about him."

Meng Xiubin also laughed, as if referring to his own heart and soul: "Hey, of course, it turned out that his mother passed away so early, so I treat myself as his godmother..."

Xu Yang's ears buzzed, "What did you just say?"

"I said Yuanyuan's mother left early..." Meng Xiubin realized that Xu Yang's face became extremely ugly after he finished speaking, his eyes fixed on her, and he pressed three words from his throat: "Passed away?"

Looking at his expression, Meng Xiubin felt a little flustered: "Yes...he didn't mention it to you?"

"When?"

"On the summer vacation of his sophomore year in high school, he fell ill and went away..."

Xu Yang didn't listen to the latter words anymore.

The summer vacation of the sophomore year.

At that time, he had just arrived in Australia for less than three months.

When he was lying on the white and soft beach basking in the sun, what was Wu Yuan going through?

As soon as his heart hurt, Xu Yang didn't dare to think about it anymore.

There are many things that I dare not think about, such as the dazed expression of Wu Yuan looking at the family of three in the distance at the door of the coffee shop, such as the concept of home that he clings to every time he mentions the house, such as the expression in his eyes when he left their house today. The little bit of reluctance that came out was almost invisible.

Why don't you tell him...

Then a voice appeared in my mind, as if accusing——

You didn't ask again.

Those four words made him fall into deep self-blame.

Not only did he not ask, two months ago, he didn't even know where Wu Yuan's family lived.

Meng Xiubin's voice became clear again.

Every time she said a word, Xu Yang felt a hole in his heart.

Wu Yuan's father left halfway, which is equivalent to being born in a single-parent family. Later, he met Lu Shenqiu and his father. The two single-parent families were combined, and now there are only two brothers left... So much information was poured into his mind at once, Xu Yang stared at the banana leaf attached to the bottom of the sushi plate, never was more silent than now.

No wonder Wu Yuan defended his brother so much.

That was the only family he had left.

Wiping his face, he took a deep breath.

I really want to see him.

Early the next morning.

When the alarm clock rang at six o'clock, Wu Yuan sat up from the bed, feeling his eyelids a little heavy.

While eating, he applied an ice spoon to his eyes for a while, prepared Lu Shenqiu's breakfast as usual, and went downstairs.

Outside the elevator room is a small atrium, where the mailboxes of every family are located, and occasionally someone puts a bicycle, and then there is a half corridor, and then there is the gate, and the sun is shining outside.

Wu Yuan walked this road countless times, without looking sideways while walking, without thinking about anything else.

So when a hand suddenly stretched out from the slanted spine and grabbed him, he blurted out "ah" because he was too surprised.

The hand was very strong, pulling his arm back and bumping into someone.

The next second, the man surrounded him from behind.

Said Huan was also a bit reluctant, but put two arms on his shoulders, and raised one hand to rub his hair.

As if to appease something.

The cuff exudes a faint, water-soaked smell of hay.

"Primary school brother." Xu Yang's breath warmed in his ears.

After the initial surprise and accident, Wu Yuan noticed that his voice was a little hoarse.

Turning around, Xu Yang grinned and said with a teasing tone as always: "Good morning?"

His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little tired.

Wu Yuan was silent for a while, and said, "Did the senior not leave yesterday?"

"Well, it's back again."

"why?"

Xu Yang put his hands in his pockets and said with a smile: "Finally think about it, instead of waiting for you to send a text message, it's better to wait for you to tell me in person."

Wu Yuan was startled: "Just because of this?"

"Because of this."

Wu Yuan stopped talking.

Xu Yang couldn't see his silence, thought for a while, and said, "Wu Yuan."

Wu Yuan raised his head, his eyes were very clear, reflecting the morning sun outside, bright.

Xu Yang's breath was stagnant, and he really wanted to put his lips on his thin eyelids.

But in the end he just raised his hand, brushing the corners of his eyes and hair, "You can tell me anything."

"?"

"Your mother's business, your family's business, whatever."

"..." Wu Yuan opened his eyes slightly.

"Aunt Meng told me everything."

With a helpless expression, Xu Yang brushed his fingers over the hair around Wu Yuan's face, "You don't have to hold back anymore."

Wu Yuan was silent for two seconds.

Nodding: "Really." There was almost no change in expression on his face.

"..." This reaction was beyond Xu Yang's expectation.

Wu Yuan stared at him and said calmly, "I didn't hold back."

"Those things have passed, and I am not a child anymore."

Turning to leave.

Deceiving.

Xu Yang scoffed in his heart.

He obviously cried last night.

Xu Yang didn't know when Wu Yuan became such a stubborn character.

Is he really like this?

Huddled among a group of girls who cheered for him, watched his game quietly, and left after handing out the water. He was always quiet, but every time he looked at him, his eyes were shining brightly. When drinking mineral water, the fingertips of the two will inevitably touch each other, and then he will shrink his hands back, as if taken aback.

Speaking of it, he seemed to have said something at that time.

Say it every time you come.

what's coming?

Submerged in the cheers of a group of girls, several hands took him by the arm, and asked him softly why he only took water from this junior every time, chattering quite annoyingly, and Wu Yuan stood between them out of place, Watching him quietly speak softly.

The teeth are opened and closed twice, and the mouth shape is exactly the same.

Two words.

can't remember...

Xu Yang came back to his senses, raised his heels, and walked three steps behind Wu Yuan.

In the field of vision, Wu Yuan's thin but straight back is bathed in the sun. At first glance, it looks a bit like bamboo pulled from the ground, converging in the body that seems to be unable to withstand the wind and rain.

Xu Yang looked at his back for a moment, lowered his head, and smiled helplessly.

******

Haihuating's project has entered the stage of lock-up for new projects.

Projects with hot prospects will generally lock up new listings one month before the opening, collect deposits from interested customers in advance, and register for auction numbers. One is to create an atmosphere of crowds at the opening, and the other is to more accurately Take stock of potential customers.Unlike Liu Huaian's sneaky collection of customer deposits before, the deposits here are all collected through formal channels, which is a type of pre-sale.

Therefore, there are basically two tasks that fall on everyone in the sales department, making phone calls and distributing leaflets.

At the end of the year, except for those large investment clients, ordinary people are not very enthusiastic about buying houses, and most of the calls are hung up after a few words.When Wu Yuan arrived at the company, he saw a colleague put his mouth on his phone and complained something.

Wu Yuan walked in without a word, and when he passed a certain table in the middle, someone suddenly called him softly: "Xiao Wu."

When Wu Yuan turned his head, Li Chen turned his chair and smiled at him with his lips pursed.

"When I came home yesterday... bought some books."

As he spoke, he glanced left and right, saw no one was looking, and quietly opened the drawer.

Wu Yuan lowered his eyes.

The Art of Computer Design Programming

"Introduction to Algorithms"

"Programming Pearls"

……

One after another, Wu Yuan didn't read the rest.

Li Chen smiled sarcastically: "I... decided to give it a try first."

Wu Yuan: "..."

"Of, of course," Li Chen scratched his head awkwardly, and took a contact book from the table, "I won't miss the work here, you're right, nothing is done for nothing, definitely It makes sense, since that’s the case, I’ll do it and see, what if a client I meet in the future is a game boss, haha..."

Wu Yuan looked into his bright eyes and nodded: "Yes."

Li Chen's throat was dry, and the heat surged in his heart.

He felt that it was so strange that he would be beaten up by a word "um" for no reason.

"I will work hard!"

He suddenly yelled at Wu Yuan's back, as if he had exhausted all his lung capacity, and the sudden sound in the tense sales department made everyone around tremble.

"I'm going, is Brother Li crazy?" Zhao Zhanfei touched his chest with lingering fear, saw Wu Yuan coming, and hurriedly said, "Wu Yuan, what did you tell him?"

"It's nothing." Wu Yuan said lightly, picked up a stack of leaflets from the table and left.

"Are you going to distribute leaflets? I, I will go too!" Zhao Zhanfei frantically started digging through the drawers, got the materials, and chased after Wu Yuan with his short legs.

The two entered the elevator together.

Wu Yuan stood upright, a little distracted.

He was thinking about when to pick out a gift for Supervisor Lin.

There was buzzing in his ears, Zhao Zhanfei was talking to him with a smile, as if it was a movie he just watched last night.

"...Then that president was given by Godzilla—" Zhao Zhanfei strangled his neck exaggeratedly and made a belching expression.

One of them said, the other thought, no one looked out when the elevator door opened, but as soon as they stepped out, they bumped head-on with a man in sunglasses who was walking quickly.

A burst of high-end masculine fragrance.

"Step aside."

The other party said coldly, with a very bad tone.

Zhao Zhanfei looked up. This person looked at least 1.8 meters five, wearing a casual suit, and a standard hanger figure. Although he didn't take off his sunglasses, he had a condescending arrogance from head to toe.

It was that silver hair that dazzled his eyes a bit.

Zhao Zhanfei was shocked instantly.

Who is this? !

As if he could feel the sharp eyes behind the sunglasses, he felt a thump in his heart, and subconsciously moved away.Unexpectedly, before he could move, Wu Yuan suddenly took a step forward, holding the flyer, and looked at the man in sunglasses expressionlessly.

"Don't you know you have to go down first and then up?"

"Huh?" As if he had been pampered all this time, the man in the sunglasses immediately raised his eyebrows and pulled off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of peach blossom eyes hiding anger.

His facial features are all beautiful, and his chin seems to be measured with a ruler. Under the illumination of the ceiling lamp in the Green Sea Hall, with his silver hair, he almost has a dazzling illusion.

Zhao Zhanfei opened his mouth wide in an instant.

Gu Gu Gu...

Before he could finish "checking", the man in sunglasses suddenly locked his eyes on Wu Yuan's name tag, and was stunned: "Are you from the sales department?"

Wu Yuan frowned and nodded.

The man in sunglasses examines him.

Wu Yuan looked at him at the same level.

The man in sunglasses suddenly smiled, showing a row of shiny teeth: "Exactly, I want to buy a house!"

Zhao Zhanfei opened his mouth even wider: "???"

The man in the sunglasses bought it as soon as he said he would buy it. Without further ado, he pulled Wu Yuan into the elevator. With a "Yo", he bent his mouth towards the TV screen in the Lvhai Hall where advertisements were rolling.

"Isn't that me?"

Wu Yuan turned around.

On the TV screen, Gu Qi, the spokesperson of Nanshan Xinyu and the popular idol of the new generation, held red wine in his hand, looked at Nanshan, turned around under the infinitely beautiful sunset light, and smiled brightly at the camera.
