scapegoat

Xiao Yang's toothache lasted for more than a week, and finally healed completely.

Just in time for a sunny weekend, Molly and his wife came to visit the ancient street.

Lang Zhongming was worried that Xiao Yang would not want to go out, but to his surprise, Xiao Yang agreed to go with Molly without hesitation.

Lang Zhongming could feel that Xiao Yang's attitude towards him had become completely clear since the two talked last time.

It's not like Xiao Yang himself said that he ignored him, but it was completely natural, and he would smile politely at him when he was in a good mood, and would yell at him if he was dissatisfied with something.

After work on Friday night, Lang Zhongming took Xiao Yang to a nearby supermarket to buy a bunch of snacks.

Lang Zhongming doesn't usually eat snacks, but Xiao Yang eats desserts made by Lang Zhongming at most. If you really want to say that his favorite snack is only lemon candy.

But thinking that Molly was with them, the two still bought a lot of puffed food and candied fruit.

After shopping and going home, I have to pack my luggage for the next day.

Because they drove there by themselves and the ancient street was not too far away, they expected to find an antique "inn" on the street to stay for one night, so they didn't have many things to bring.

Xiao Yang took another novel, and Lang Zhongming brought his laptop.

After tidying up, it was dark at night.

Before going to bed, Lang Zhongming was still worried, so he came over and told Xiao Yang: "Remember to bring knee pads, in case the wind is strong. And bring stomach medicine, and let Xiaofeng fill the thermos cup with hot water tomorrow. Don't forget, remember..."

Xiao Yang interrupted him dumbfounded: "Got it..."

Xiao Yang just felt that Lang Zhongming seemed to have changed his temper. He used to humiliate him fiercely, but now he shows his kindness and nags shamelessly.

That night, Xiao Yang suffered from insomnia.

After ten years of squatting in prison, he finally got out, but he has never had the opportunity to go out for fun, and the previous trips were not very pleasant.It is the first time that I go out with a "play" mentality in a serious way.

Thinking of the pile of snacks prepared in the bag and the mess of first aid medicine and daily necessities, he felt a little dazed.

He was very worried that all of this was not real enough, maybe when he woke up tomorrow morning, something unexpected would happen, making this trip impossible, and even throwing him back to the dark days of the past...

Xiao Yang turned over and suppressed these unfounded worries.

He knew that he just hadn't fully adapted to the new life yet, so it was a bit unfounded to worry about.

Early the next morning, what Xiao Yang was worried about didn't happen. The only thing that made him unhappy was the dark circles under his eyes caused by last night's insomnia.

Lang Zhongming was startled when he saw him: "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well?"

Xiao Yang looked at Lang Zhongming's nervous look, and felt a little embarrassed. He was also ashamed to speak out about his elementary school mentality, so he could only perfunctory: "I drank too much coffee."

Ke Chen and Molly drove their new SUV to pick them up.

For the convenience of chatting with Xiao Yang, Molly drove Lang Zhongming to the front passenger seat to be with Ke Chen, and dragged Xiao Yang to nest in the back seat, unpacking a bag of lime-flavored potato chips and clicking all the way.

After approaching the scenic spot, the road conditions were a little congested. While the two people in front were studying the route to turn around, Molly quietly said to Xiao Yang: "My parents are still saying that you can go to my house to play again when you are free! Are you coming or not? "

Xiao Yang was taken aback.

Thinking of Molly's parents, Xiao Yang remembered that he once suspected that Ling Quan and his wife deliberately robbed his parents of the lifeboat seat.

In fact, Lang Zhongjin said this matter casually, and Xiao Yang thought about it carefully later, thinking that his parents would definitely give up the seat to the pregnant woman under such circumstances, and his suspicion was meaningless at all.

What really surprised him was that he had somewhat forgotten what he cared about in the past.

Once my current life is enriched, it seems that I will selectively let go of many trivial matters and only focus on the pursuits that are important to me.

Now, work, life, loan repayment, decoration, driver's license... It seems that everything is more worthy of his attention.

Xiao Yang smiled at Molly: "Come back when you're free, I've been a little busy at work recently."

Molly curled her lips: "I was worried that you would mind the death of your parents more than ten years ago. My mother told me that your parents are very nice, well-educated, and talented. Most of the people in that boat They are both businessmen, and your parents are the kind of intellectuals at first glance. Everyone on the boat respected them unconsciously at that time, but they didn't expect it to become like this..."

Xiao Yangping smiled flatly: "I remember that every time after the parent-teacher meeting, my teachers and classmates would comment on my parents in the same way. But unfortunately, they are gone now."

Lang Zhongming turned his face to look at Xiao Yang indiscriminately, then turned his head back and pretended not to listen.

Xiao Yang noticed it, but didn't expose it.

Molly always felt resentful and unfair about such regrettable things: "It's really...why did it happen to them? What a pity..."

Xiao Yang shook his head: "Then you can't expect others to take their place in the accident, right?"

Molly struggled: "Of course you can't say that... oh..."

Ke Chen at the front interrupted their soft-spoken conversation: "What are you talking about? You don't want us to hear it?"

Molly slammed her fist on the back of Ke Chen's seat: "I want you to take care of it! Drive hard! It's been half a day and I haven't arrived yet!"

Ke Chen can't really be blamed for this, the road conditions outside the scenic spot on weekends are really unflattering.Their cars are bulky, making it difficult to exploit loopholes or turn around.

Slowly crawling along with the traffic for a long time, I finally got into the parking lot.

Ke Chen put them down and went to find a parking space by himself.Lang Zhongming volunteered to buy a ticket.Xiao Yang and Molly were left to look at their luggage and continue their "in-depth interview".

But the topic just now was not very pleasant, and Molly has given up.

Now she decided to talk about something more interesting: "What's the matter with you and Zhong Ming? Can it work?"

Xiao Yang was speechless: "Why did it become... Do I still boo after him on the spur of the moment?"

Molly asked: "How do you know that he was acting on a whim? What if he is serious? Although I can't stand the things he did in the past, but now he wants to be a bull and a horse, so you can give him a lesson." It's a chance, if it's not suitable, let's split up."

Xiao Yang was silent for a while, and said: "I don't know... I feel like I can't be emotional anymore, but sometimes he really takes care of others, and I also feel a little...cough..."

Molly laughed, but was interrupted by Xiao Yang: "But this is not to the extent he wants. The past between me and him is too deep, and I really can't settle down, no matter how nice he is to me Right... I always feel uneasy. Maybe we will gradually separate in the future, and after we live together... the relationship will naturally fade away."

Molly also suddenly lost the booing vigor just now: "Ke Chen and I always hope that both of you can find a suitable partner, but love is a matter of fate, and it's not easy for us to intervene. In the past... Zhong Ming When we were still together with Qin Linlin, we were also very optimistic about them, but the result is not..."

Molly's expression became gloomy: "Actually, Zhong Ming was going to marry Linlin at that time, but his father and grandfather were not very satisfied with Linlin... In fact, to put it bluntly, they were dissatisfied with the Qin family and felt that they were not worthy. Go to their house."

"At that time, Zhong Ming had a tense relationship with his family. He went to a lawyer in private and arranged some things. He planned to wait for Linlin to give birth to the child. If it was not convenient for the Qin family, he could arrange to raise it. If Linlin Lynn wants kids, and he's going to visit every now and then or something. When they're old enough, they'll get married."

"At that time, he really made all the preparations secretly to welcome the child and take care of Linlin. Unexpectedly... But later he also felt that he should not marry a wife, so this marriage is really not good or bad. I just think It's a pity...you, Linlin, Zhong Ming, Zhong Jin...it's obvious that many people shouldn't end up like this..."

As Molly spoke, Xiao Yang listened quietly.

In fact, it was also the first time he knew that Lang Zhongming had played so many tricks behind Qin Linlin's back then.It's a pity that in the end, Qin Linlin died twice, and those arrangements didn't work.

Xiao Yang has always known that Lang Zhongming is not a person with a very vicious heart, and he has also seen his sense of responsibility from the accumulation of time and time. What such a person got in return was a broken family and a burden that cannot be relieved.

"He used to love talking to himself."

Ke Chen appeared from behind, startling the two of them.

Xiao Yang saw Molly angrily about to hit her, and thought to himself, maybe the two of them are the real favored ones.

Have a family, have money, have a lover...

Ke Chen's joining made Molly lose the sadness just now, and began to clamor for Ke Chen to tell all kinds of dark history of Lang Zhongming's childhood.

Ke Chen was the first to know Lang Zhongming, and he had heard many stories about "the time when the young master wore open crotch pants" from other people in the Lang family.

Unaware that he had been sold by his friends, Lang Zhongming pitifully waited in a long line, finally bought the tickets, and went back to find them.

"Yo, I heard that you ate mud when you were a child?"

Molly's words with a smile on her face killed half of Lang Zhongming's life in seconds.

Xiao Yang also laughed: "And then you packed a bag and went back for grandpa to eat?"

Lang Zhongming: "..."

Want to know who betrayed him.Lang Zhongming glared at Ke Chen, who smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go in!"

After entering the scenic area, a few people wandered around, relaxing in the bluestone boards and black tiles and white walls, and the atmosphere became warm.

Molly bought a bunch of "X Wu small commodities" that were not in use, and ate all the stinky tofu, fried potato chips, and sugar cakes...

Lang Zhongming said with a smile: "I used to think that visiting ancient towns was boring, but it turned out that I didn't find the right way."

Molly clapped her hands proudly: "Of course~! You must go shopping and eat, then buy, buy and buy. If you have time, find a place to play board games and go to bars at night. This is the correct way to play~ "

Lang Zhongming gave a thumbs up: "I learned it!"

Molly really went to the bar street at night, but Lang Zhongming didn't dare to take Xiao Yang to that kind of place.

Although the bar here is relatively small and fresh, Xiao Yang still can't digest the loud music.

Lang Zhongming led Xiao Yang to check in.The two asked for a standard room.

Lang Zhongming knew how many psychological difficulties Xiao Yang had to overcome to be able to get along with him as usual like now, so no matter how twisted his brain was, he didn't dare to move at this time.

What's more, Xiao Yang didn't give him a chance at all. He would lock the door when he went to the bathroom. After taking a shower, he put on a tight jacket and pants, and he didn't take off the shirt inside when he got under the quilt.

Lang Zhongming's heart was bleeding, and on the surface he continued to read his work report seriously.

Xiao Yang saw that he was still busy, so he didn't turn on the TV, and asked while swiping his phone, "Aren't you going to take a shower?"

Lang Zhongming tried his best to control the resentment in his tone: "Well... there are still some things to sort out. By the way, what is the specific rule that the data system is built now?"

Xiao Yang thought of Su Huiyun saying that Mr. Ling "works besides eating and sleeping", and felt that this girl summed it up extremely accurately.

I don't know if one day he really retreats, he will be at a loss.

"Generally, it is classified according to the level of authority, and then divided according to type and logic within the same level to form a complete data tree as a whole. Each small drawer in the tree arranges files according to the time axis. This is the most concise method."

Lang Zhongming asked again: "Then where is the progress now?"

Xiao Yang: "The overall situation is almost the same, and the classification of some ambiguous documents has not yet been finalized. In addition, the numbering method is still compiled according to my own habits when I was studying, and no one else can understand it. This needs to be optimized, but still The most suitable numbering method was not found."

Lang Zhongming smiled: "It's not urgent, just follow the way you are used to first, otherwise you won't be able to adapt for a while."

Xiao Yang shook his head, and said softly, "It's okay, it has to be changed anyway."

Lang Zhongming was taken aback for a moment, always feeling that what he said was not just referring to the numbering issue in front of him.Perhaps he was not the only one working hard to change Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang himself, why doesn't he want to become better?

The author has something to say:

It seems to be too boring lately...so bland...orz
