Drifting

Tan Qing worked overtime for a week, eating and sleeping in the office directly.

Subordinates said he worked hard, but he felt at ease.

On the day of Xiaonian, Tan Qing gave half a day off to the employees in the technical team who had already added a week shift, and asked them to go home to accompany their wives and children.

Tan Qing sits on the bay window, takes a sip of coffee and a cigarette, as many addicts as there are addicts in life.

"Boss." The assistant came in and rubbed his hands, "Someone delivered something from downstairs."

Tan Qing took it over, it was a thermos bucket, the first layer was full of dumplings, and the second layer was homemade beef sauce.

"Boss, who gave it to you?" The assistant smiled and joked, "Give me a bite too."

"Go aside."

Tan Qing sat back on the sofa, the cigarette between her lips was very short, almost burning to the end.He cut it off with his hand and pressed it into the ashtray on the coffee table, then took out his mobile phone and opened the address book, but he didn't find anyone.

He poked open the dumplings with his chopsticks, and the delicious and hot air gushed out, and the gravy was filled with pork and shiitake mushrooms.

He sat there for a while, but still picked up his chopsticks and finished eating the dumplings and sauced beef.

The technology park is brightly lit, but only one wall lamp is turned on in the office, and the three computers on the desk are still running data.Tan Qing felt that the dumplings were a bit bland, but the beef sauce was just right.

The blessing text messages in the phone kept popping up, making the phone ding dong ding dong.

Tan Qing finally picked up the phone, clicked on one by one, obsessive-compulsive to clear the unread messages.

With a flick of his finger, he clicked on Cheng Sidu's dialogue window.Cheng Sidu just said, happy new year, go home early.

Of course Cheng Sidu knew that Tan Qing's home had nothing to do with him.

Tan Qing replied a few words, thank you, and you too.

Thank him for his New Year's blessings, and thank him for the hot dumplings and beef on New Year's Eve.

Cheng Sidu was still washing dishes at home, when he heard the phone vibrate, he wiped his hand on his apron twice before touching the phone, saw Tan Qing's reply, smiled lightly, and put the phone back.

Siying is lying on the sofa talking on the phone with her boyfriend.There are children in the community outside the window secretly setting off small fireworks. Is it that kind of magic wand?It is thin and long, and when lit, it will splash fire like water droplets, like a small neon light, and it will not hurt to make people scream when they burn their fingers.

Sidu smiled and thought, Tan Qing also let me off.

Tan Qing bought it for him for ten yuan in the back street of the school, took the cigarette from his mouth and lit the fireworks one by one, and then watched him foolishly holding the fireworks in circles.

Thinking about it now, it's a bit like the hallucination of the little match boy because of the cold.

Tan Qing suddenly wanted to go home today, and it was already 01:30 in the morning when he drove home.After taking a shower, drinking some soothing red wine, lying in the goose down quilt, listening to the rainy asmr, getting ready for bed.

He is not asleep.Thinking about old things over and over again.

He leaned against the bed and took out his cell phone, opened the address book, swiped one by one, and finally landed on Cheng Sidu's gray profile picture.

"Can I come here now?"

A few minutes later, Cheng Sidu replied "Yes".

Tan Qing helped him book a taxi, and watched the taxi smuggle Cheng Sidu from Cheng Sidu's home to his apartment.

He stood at the door waiting to open it. When the elevator reached the floor, the footsteps outside the door were a little hurried. Before the first knock, Tan Qing had already opened the door.

Cheng Sidu was stunned in the door frame, the plaid scarf randomly wrapped around his neck was hanging fluffy on his chest, his black hair was a little disheveled, his eyes were a little squinted, his face was almost pale by the cold wind, and there was a faint layer of pimple on his cheekbones. Frozen red and cracked.

Cheng Sidu was full of travel and dust, and laughed again, I told my mother that a patient's condition had deteriorated, and I had to go see it.

Tan Qing suspected that he had a pun, but still reached out and hugged him.

The smile on Cheng Sidu's face froze, "Aren't you going in? It's so cold."

Tan Qing picked up Sidu, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, with his hips, freed his hand to close the door and carried him directly to the bedroom.

Peeling off Cheng Sidu's down jacket, there was a set of blue cotton pajamas inside.Tan Qing stretched out her hand, and unbuttoned his chest one by one, her cold fingers slid across his warm chest, making him shiver.

Cheng Sidu rubbed against the pillow fondly, then shrugged his shoulders and laughed as if he was ticklish.

Cheng Sidu whispered, "Why are you in such a hurry tonight?"

"I don't know." Tan lightly took off his pants.

Cheng Sidu was cut back with his backhand, and bumped against him in a kneeling position.

During the violent body shaking and collision, Cheng Sidu's soft head leaned against Tan Qing's chest, he turned his head in confusion, and his rosy lips brushed against the small piece of skin on Tan Qing's heart.

After the end, the flushed Cheng Sidu grabbed the pillow and said, it's too late, I want to sleep here, I can't be sent home or thrown to another room.

Tan Qing leaned over to look at him: "Cheng Sidu, you also know it's late, you still come out?"

Cheng Sidu closed his eyes, frowned unhappily and turned around, as if he hated being disturbed in his sleep.

Tan Qing lay beside him, closed her eyes and said, "Happy New Year."

Cheng Sidu didn't speak, but quietly reached out and grabbed the hand beside him, and shook his little finger, but fearing being scolded, he quickly let go.

Tan Qing thought unrealistically at this moment, is it right to turn around?

Cheng Sidu shrank to the side of the bed, Tan Qing's breathing gradually became even.He got up, touched the sleeping Tan Qing, and carefully kissed his forehead, chin and lips.

Cheng Sidu kissed like eating candy.

Tan Qing is a very bad Coptis candy.

Cheng Sidu had no choice but to secretly shed tears from the bitterness.

The next morning, Cheng Sidu put on Tan Qing's sweater and trousers and brushed his teeth in the bathroom, humming a song with his mouth full of foam, Tan Qing came in sleepily and poured water on the side, and only found Cheng Sidu was brushing his teeth after finishing the work.

Cheng Sidu didn't look sideways, and carefully cleaned his beautiful white teeth. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that Tan Qing was about to leave, and asked again: "Where's your razor? I want to use it."

Tan Qing took the razor off the rack, "Press this button to open it. This is the bottle of aftershave." He glanced at Sidu's lips, "Don't you have a beard?"

"A little bit." Cheng Sidu was critical.

I bought breakfast at the breakfast shop downstairs. In a hurry, I only bought buns, candies and the like.Cheng Sidu wanted to stay for a bowl of wontons, but time seemed insufficient.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Cheng Sidu was quite quiet and obedient, holding a piece of candy cake and eating slowly, like an introverted little boy who dislikes the unappetizing breakfast.

Sensing Tan Qing's gaze, Cheng Sidu went up to meet him, "Do you want to eat hemp balls?"

It had already been handed to his mouth, so Tan Qing had no choice but to open his mouth and take a bite.

"It's too sweet." Tan Qing complained.

"I know, so I'll give you a bite." Cheng Sidu blinked.

Tan Qing looked at him deeply, perhaps wanting to see a little pretentious sadness, exaggerated coquettishness, or sweet insincere words.

Tan Qing sent Cheng Sidu to the door of the hospital, and when he turned around, he saw Cheng Sidu tightening his collar and rushing in through the door.He was wearing Tan Qing's trousers, the trouser legs were too long, he rolled them up and fastened them with paper clips.

On the way from the hospital to the company, Tan Qing thought of many Cheng Sidu.

The little boss who fell in love with the youth on the construction site, the college student who lived with the courier, and now this orthopedic doctor who easily shed tears because of an IT company boss.
