Pretending to be miserable

The neon lights of Chuanlian Street were reflected on the faces of the two of them, so close to each other, it seemed that the sound of each other's breathing covered the howling wind in their ears.

Why did you delete him?Yan Chu was in a daze.

When he pressed the delete button, he didn't expect to be questioned face-to-face at the door of the store like this. He just felt that since it was impossible for the two of them, he didn't plan to take money from other people. That's necessary.

But Chi Zheng's actions were completely beyond his expectations, whether it was yesterday or today.

Reason made the smile on Yan Chu's lips fade, and he said in a cold voice, "Why is it important?"

Deleted is deleted, why so many.

"Important." Chi Zheng didn't hesitate for a moment, his eyes were firmly fixed on the person in front of him.

The atmosphere froze there all of a sudden, the eyes met each other, and no one had the slightest intention to give in.

In September, Yuancheng has already entered autumn, and the wind carries the smell of dry leaves and bursts of coolness.

Yan Chu didn't want to keep the atmosphere so awkward, he would stop when he stopped, there was nothing to hesitate.

He lowered his eyebrows and took a half step back, his tone was cold: "This is not a good place, and I am not a good person either, so don't come here again."

This is the truth, a person like him who loves to be alone is just two words in the eyes of others - selfish.

Selfish people are certainly not good people.

It's just that he was about to leave, but Chi Zheng stepped over and stood in front of him, "What do you mean?"

Yan Chu raised his eyes to look at him again.

Chi Zheng's facial features are three-dimensional, and when he frowns coldly, there will be a sense of cruelty, and there is hostility in his eyebrows and eyes.But this does not affect the beauty of his entire face, but instead forms a special attraction.

For Yan Chu, it was especially obvious and fatal.

The cruel words circled around his mouth, but he couldn't say it in the end.

"Literally." Yan Chu looked away and walked past him.

In the past, he always thought that he was a person with strong self-control, at least one who could sit still.But ever since he met Chi Zheng, those self-control seemed to have been softened. This was the first time he had been impulsive.

It seems that some things are really untouchable.

Thinking of this, he had already returned to the door of the bar, but he didn't really want to push that door open.

"Yan Chu." Chi Zheng's voice suddenly sounded behind him, Yan Chu froze for a moment but did not turn his head.In his opinion, the encounter with Chi Zheng was accidental, and the ridiculous things he did were just accidents. Too much care would make things complicated, and he would not do such things that would only bring trouble. .

He raised his hand to push the heavy glass door.

"Do you think I'm a good person?" Chi Zheng's tone was no longer so calm and indifferent, but rather provocative, as if he wanted to declare war, "Even if you didn't come yesterday, I can handle it. "

What he said was very interesting, and he successfully made Boss Yan stand still.

"Then just treat me as meddling in my own business." He said this lightly and pushed the door open into the bar.

The person behind him seemed to say something again, but the sound of music came to his face the moment the door was pushed open, and Yan Chu didn't hear it.

The thick glass door completely separates the ambiguous noise inside the bar from the embarrassment outside.For some reason, there was a strong thought in Yan Chu's heart at that moment.

He wanted to escape, and he did.

Obviously those words were in line with his wishes, and the two of them will never meet again in the future.It can be said that Chu's heart is still inexplicably depressed, and he is not comfortable at all.

It's just a chance, he's really crazy.

Yan Chu subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette from his pocket, but he couldn't find it after touching it for a long time, probably Ke Chen took it out when he was in the bar.

He frowned, turned and went straight into the lounge.

There is a place specially prepared for the employees. There are sofas, tables, chairs and dressing rooms specially set up so that the employees in the store can change clothes or rest when they go to and from get off work.

Right now, he bumped into He Yushan as soon as he walked in.

"Brother Yan..." He Yushan probably didn't expect him to come in, so he was a little embarrassed at the moment, his eyes were red.

Yan Chu glanced at him, feeling even more frustrated, and said casually, "I'll get something."

But the most attractive thing about this kid, He Yushan, is his eyesight, "It's okay, brother, call me at the bar, I'll go out now."

He went out as soon as he spoke, and there was only silence in the lounge.

Yan Chu simply sat down on the sofa, closed his eyes and rested his mind.This is the worst time he has had in the past ten years.

All the messy things went into his head, he just sat like this, and when he got his emotions together and went out, the store was already ready to close.

"You all go, I'll do the rest." Boss Yan is in a bad mood today, everyone can see it, no one dares to touch his bad luck at the moment, and obediently agreed to leave work.

For a while, he was the only one left in the huge store, and the light above his head was still trying to create an ambiguous atmosphere, but he turned it into a pale color when he touched it casually.

When the clerks left, they had almost cleaned up the store, and Yan Chu just wiped the bar with his arm.

The phone vibrated, and it was a message from He Yushan: "Brother Yan, don't drive after drinking today. I'll call you a taxi, and I'll be at the store in 10 minutes."

He frowned, feeling depressed again.This kind of constant concern is often a torture to another person.Especially for someone like him who is used to being alone.

"No, I'll walk back." He Yushan simply replied, and Yan Chu turned off the phone directly.

This sentence is sincere, he has long thought about walking home today, blowing the wind on the way can also wake him up.

But he didn't expect that the man hadn't left yet.

After Yan Chu locked the door, he turned around and saw a tall, thin man leaning against a utility pole on the roadside, wearing a white sweater and black trousers, with his head lowered and fiddling with his mobile phone.

The tree shadows dappled by the streetlights fell on the man, making him almost merged with the telephone pole.

It can be said that Chu recognized Chi Zheng at a glance.

The first impression was too deep, how could such a person who has an appetite for him forget it in a blink of an eye.

Yan Chu subconsciously wanted to say hello, but he remembered what he had just said. If he took the initiative again and his face hurt, he would ignore him and walk towards home.

I thought that Chi Zheng would come over to block people, but I didn't expect that person to choose to follow behind him, even keeping a good distance, neither far nor near.

Chuanlian Street at two o'clock in the morning was not deserted, but Chi Zheng's sense of presence was still too strong for Yan Chu.

Although it was the first time Boss Yan encountered this situation, he was unexpectedly not disgusted, but found it interesting.He wanted to know why Chi Zheng followed him.

About 10 minutes later, Yan Chu turned into the gate of the community.

He was not in a hurry to go home, and stood in the shadows at the corner waiting after entering the community.

Their community is not strictly managed, and now the guards have just changed shifts at two o'clock in the morning, and few of them are watching seriously. If Chi Zheng wants to enter, he can definitely come in.

Thinking of this, Yan Chu had a strange feeling, as if he was expecting something but couldn't explain it clearly, quite confused.

But Chi Zheng just stood at the door for a while and then left. His posture didn't look like he was following him, but he seemed to be sending him home.

Yan Chu's heart couldn't help trembling slightly, the decision he had made in his heart was shaken by someone's action just like that.

Tsk, a little annoying.

He suppressed his desire to repent as much as possible, and walked quickly towards the door of the house.

After a plaster cast, even taking a bath has become a luxury.Yan Chu at least wiped his body with a wet towel, and was about to go straight to bed and rest.

Originally, he would still have the task of coding after returning home every day. After all, his serial suspense novels on the Internet have never been shelved since college.

But his arm was injured and he was really powerless. It is difficult for him to type on the computer now, let alone update it.

His mind is now full of the image of Chi Zheng standing at the gate of the community, and he can't get rid of it. The inexplicable loneliness on that person is incompatible with the impression he left on Yan Chu.

Yan Chu suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have finished listening to Chi Zheng's words at the bar entrance today.At that time, he only wanted to avoid that person as soon as possible, so in the end he didn't hear what Chi Zheng said at all.

So is he going too far... After all, it is always difficult for him to make rational judgments when facing Chi Zheng.

——"Yan Chu, I've known you for almost 30 years, and I've never seen you so impulsive."

——"I know you have a hurdle in your heart. But it's been almost ten years, and it's time to let go. If you keep entangled, you're torturing yourself, why bother?"

——"If you really like that kid, I'll chase him for you!"

……

Ke Chen's words seemed to ring in his ears, penetrating into his heart word by word.

Maybe he should really try to let go of that unbearable past... But what he has been trying to do for ten years without success, will it really change because of Chi Zheng?

Yan Chu didn't know what to do, and was agitated again.

Life is still the same, and the business hours of Yaxin Bar are still from six o'clock in the evening to two o'clock in the morning.

It's just that the weather turned cold, and the heavy plaster on his arm seriously affected Boss Yan's ability to dress and go out. He hadn't been to the store for nearly a week, and planned to go to the hospital in two days to remove the plaster before going to the store to have a look.

In fact, his injury was not very serious, but the doctor suggested that a plaster cast can recover faster, and it is estimated that it will be removed in about two weeks.

Yan Chu counted the days and went to the hospital in two full weeks.

After all, he wasn't too old, and his arm was recovering fairly well, but he couldn't work hard for the next period of time.Yan Chu looked at his thinned arms, and couldn't help thinking of the day he met Chi Zheng.

It seems that I haven't seen that person for a while...

Coming out of the hospital, Yan Chu called Ke Chen directly and asked him to help drive the car to the store.The car has been parked in the garage for the past few days when he is at home, maybe how much dust has accumulated, it should be washed.

As soon as the phone was connected, I heard Master Ke's irritable voice: "Chu'er, I'm just about to find you."

"What's wrong?" Yan Chu frowned in confusion.

"What's the matter, are you recuperating at home or retreating, and you don't even have access to the Internet? Do you know that your novel was reported, you are stupid. You are so stupid that you plagiarized and bought a hot search on Weibo! If it weren't for a brother to read it I don't even know when I get there..."

Ke Chen was cursing on the phone, but he didn't forget to comfort him: "Okay, don't worry, I've already found someone here to help you, and I don't know who it is. It's so unlucky to be realistic!"

Yan Chu frowned and listened to him curse a few more times before asking, "What are the most popular searches on Weibo?"

"Fuck... Chu'er, are you stupid for not seeing anyone at home for a week? I saw your store's Weibo update two days ago, and now you tell me you don't know?" Listening to the exclamation coming from the phone, He can now imagine Master Ke's shocked expression.

Yan Chu was originally teasing him to ease the atmosphere, but now he couldn't help laughing twice, "Oh, that. Shan'er is usually in charge of it, and I haven't used it."

"No, we are born in the [-]s anyway, you—"

"Okay." Hearing Ke Chen's posture and wanting to continue cursing, he quickly cut off the conversation, "It's not a big deal, don't worry, I'm not a celebrity."

Yan Chu didn't listen to the other end of the phone and swear something before hanging up.

This incident happened really strangely. He has been serializing novels on the Internet for several years. Although he occasionally received some strange gifts or letters before, he has never made such a big fuss.What's more, he asked for a hypothesis before that he would be out for a month to recuperate from his injuries, and this is only half of the past...

Just when I couldn't figure it out, I saw a message sent over.

He Yushan: "Brother Yan, that handsome guy came to the store to look for you. Are you here today, or should I persuade him to leave for you?"

Yan Chu took a moment to realize who the handsome guy He Yushan was talking about, and replied: "I'll go over now."
