By the light of the corridor, a dusty man stood at the door of Xu Yiren's house - the dark thing beside him... If it wasn't a gas tank, it could only be a suitcase.

Xu Yiren put his hand on the doorknob and didn't regain his senses. He didn't know if this was Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or a butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou.

"Happy New Year! Hey, it's really cold today!" Li Chaoyue greeted with a smile, and his voice was more festive than the hosts of the Spring Festival Gala.

How can butterflies talk?

"...Happy New Year." Xu Yiren quickly regained his composure and let go of his hand, letting him in sideways, "I know it's cold so I don't want to wear more."

He looked like he came here just after returning to Shencheng, and he didn't even have time to put down his luggage. Just this cherished friendship is already the highest standard for visiting relatives and friends.Xu Yiren felt that it was inappropriate to ask him how to enter the downstairs gate at this time, anyway, he would never break in.

Li Chaoyue: "Are you going out, or just coming in?"

Now saying that I am going out to buy something and get a haircut, does that sound like chasing customers?

Xu Yiren took off his coat and hung it on the hanger: "Just came in."

"Ahaha, what a coincidence? It's a good thing I didn't come early, otherwise I would be in vain." Li Chaoyue changed his slippers when he disappeared, "I called your mobile phone because your former colleague answered it. What number do you use now?"

Xu Yiren: "I haven't applied for a card yet."

Li Chaoyue: "Do you stay in the hospital with that number?"

Xu Yiren: "Yes. In case the patient calls and delays the matter."

Li Chaoyue smiled: "I guess so, I got a card on the way here, here."

Are there any card vendors on the expressway?

"...Did you just come back from your hometown?" Xu Yiren couldn't help asking, and added, "Are your uncles and aunts in good health?"

"It's all good. They are walking around all day to plant grass. I went back and took a look. I came back after the second year of junior high school."

Second grade?Xu Yiren glanced at the big black guy next to the sofa, isn't this a suitcase?Is he wrong?

"Why come back in such a hurry?" Xu Yiren asked, "How many days off?"

"Oh, according to the contract, I should move bricks overseas now. It's good to be able to go back and watch for a few days. Besides, it's convenient to call and video whenever I want. It only takes two hours to come here. I don't have so much time to spend at home and love my children." Li Chaoyue went to the door and fumbled in the pocket of Xu Yiren's coat, "Hey, where is your cell phone, I'll put it on for you."

"This." Xu Yiren took another look at the dark thing from another angle. It didn't look like a holiday gift packaging, so he couldn't think of anything else, so he asked, "Is this a suitcase?"

Li Chaoyue clapped his hands, "Yes, the suitcase."

He enthusiastically drew along the edge and said: "It's about 80×50×30, you can feel it—clear and clear, blurred and fuzzy. It should be better to supplement the parts that cannot be seen clearly and create a 3Dmax image.”

Xu Yiren said indifferently, "Oh."

Everything he looked at looked like a Chinese painting with ink stains blurred by water, and building a three-dimensional picture was probably a task that Li Chaoyue could only accomplish by himself.

Li Chaoyue fiddled with it for a while and finally inserted the phone card: "What is the power-on password?"

Xu Yiren: "10 out of 1."

"Oh—hmm...it's turned on, let me see if it works." Li Chaoyue held the phone for a while and asked, "Who is this Zhou Lei? Is it the one by the river?"

"Huh?" Xu Yiren seemed to be in a lifetime, almost not remembering, "Yes."

Li Chaoyue hummed in a strange way: "Hey, why did you add a strawberry after her name? Why doesn't anyone else have it?"

"..." Xu Yiren felt guilty for a moment when he asked her. She almost thought that the symbol was added by herself, but she quickly realized, "She added it herself."

Li Chaoyue was dubious: "Oh, really. How can she take your mobile phone?"

Xu Yiren was speechless - he recalled the night when he first met Zhou Lei.Although he sent his mother's student back when he went home to visit his parents, but he just left a phone call and made an appointment for the next meal. The behavior of a man and a woman feels too frivolous and ambiguous now.

It turns out that I am nothing more than that?

Li Chaoyue held his mobile phone: "Can I add one too?"

Xu Yiren didn't expect him to ask this question, as if he wanted to make up for something, he said: "Add it, add another box."

It's a pity that even if he added a box of strawberries, he couldn't see clearly.

"Brother Xu? Brother Xu?" Xu Yiren was in a daze, Li Chao called out several times, "Don't you still have a room available? Can I stay here for two days conveniently?"

"What's the matter?" Xu Yiren suspected that he had missed something during the time he blamed himself for a while, and asked, "Where is the house arranged by your company?"

"It's a bit cold there, I don't really want to live there." Li Chaoyue stammered, "It's okay if it's inconvenient for you, I... just go to another place to live for a few days, it's okay, it doesn't matter."

……cold?

Nowadays, houses in the urban area, especially newly-built houses, are there any houses without heating?Even if the heating has been suspended for a long time like his house, and the opening needs to wait for the staff to go to work and pay the bills on the seventh and eighth day of the new year, then at least there is an air conditioner. If there is no air conditioner, you can buy an electric heater temporarily. I have never heard of a pocket If you have money in it, you can freeze yourself alive.

And since it is the accommodation arranged by the unit, how can it be possible that these conditions are not available?

He can imagine Li Chaoyue’s monthly salary before the job-hopping based on the level of the research institute, but it’s hard to estimate after the job-hopping. Judging by common sense, it should be a lot of money. Otherwise, why would so many outstanding elites from various countries gather together?If he really feels uncomfortable living in the cold, he can go to a hotel with money to stay for a few days, not to mention the five-star ones, but the three-star and four-star ones are still affordable, right?A big man doesn't pay much attention to it, and staying in a regular fast hotel can handle it for a few days.

This time Xu Yiren felt that Lu Xun's texts were not in vain, and Li Chaoyue must have encountered some difficulties.The "cold" is probably not the temperature.

A hundred or eighty people were dispatched, and only he himself was transferred back. Is it because so many markers need maintenance or other reasons?

Did Li Chaoyue not tell him something?

Xu Yiren asked: "Where is your company's house? How many people share one room?"

Li Chaoyue: "In...Xiangbao Road, Jinzhou, single room. It's okay, brother Xu, if your teacher's wife wants to come here, it's okay to be inconvenient, I'll just ask."

Xiangbao Road Jinzhou is a high-end residential area close to the Nie’s Group in the central district of Shizhong. The location is prosperous and every inch of land is expensive. The houses in such a place don’t even have to say whether there is heating. I’m afraid that if you say it’s cold, the property management can temporarily set up a stove for you. send it.

Xu Yiren was even more certain that his "cold" meant the dark society, cold relationships, and unfair treatment.

Although the work of these "technical posts" is not as intriguing as the general "performance posts" and "relationship posts", but where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and some gossip is inevitable.

Could it be that he didn't complete his assignment this time, and when he came back, he was pointed out "for the matter" or "for the person"?

"Did other people in your company say something about you?" Xu Yiren asked, "I haven't asked you yet, why did you come back by yourself this time?"

Li Chaoyue denied it categorically: "Of course not. It's nothing. What do you think? Oh, don't talk about it, just pretend I didn't say it. Let's go out to eat? You can still eat with water, I treat you , let's go."

For some reason, this guy is extremely defensive today, even if Xu Yiren tries three times and four times, he doesn't talk about him carefully.After a meal, the two had their own thoughts.Xu Yiren couldn't see clearly at all, and just after eating, he even forgot what he was eating.

But the more secretive he was, the more Xu Yiren felt that he hadn't finished his words.

When he got downstairs, Li Chaoyue took his key to open the door: "The key tooth is to the left. If you have the key card, just swipe it a little below the small red light. You should know the elevator, there are three in total. For the red dot, press the one in the middle when you go upstairs, and the one at the bottom when you go downstairs, and the 18th floor is the sixth row from top to bottom on the right.”

Just as Xu Yiren was about to tell him that there was Braille on the elevator buttons, he heard the person next to him express emotion for no reason: "Brother Xu, it will be better. It may not be so good now, but it will be all right in the future, you Say yes?"

He seldom heard Li Chaoyue say such fragile and self-confident words, and it was one of the few times that could be recorded in history.

He suddenly felt a little regretful that he didn't agree to borrow the matter just now, does it seem like a decision made after weighing the pros and cons a few times?Compared with Li Chaoyue's careful care of him for a year, this is simply ungrateful.

Even if ordinary patients are discharged from the hospital, some have to write a thank you letter back.

In such a happy and happy family reunion day, and it's freezing outside, where does he want him to drag the suitcase?

A man's face is more important than where he lives. He even asked, but he hesitated for so long. For him, it should be something that he would never want to bring up again.

Xu Yiren didn't know how to speak.

When the elevator reached the floor, Li Chaoyue said, "I'll go in and take the box and leave. Take care of yourself, Brother Xu. Be sure to feed back the marker information on time, review it regularly, and call in time if you feel uncomfortable. The company will send someone to pick it up." you."

These words sounded like they would never see each other forever, Xu Yiren felt extremely uncomfortable, and the food he ate just now was about to cause indigestion.

Holding the keychain, he asked, "Which one is on the door?"

"This one," Li Chaoyue pulled his finger, "the biggest one is for the building door, and the smaller one is for the house door. The other ones are smaller. This one should be easy to distinguish, right? How about I give it to you?" Find a key ring to string these two together?"

Xu Yiren: "Oh, good."

"You really can't figure it out?" Li Chaoyue said in surprise, "This one is much bigger than the others, right?"

Xu Yiren: "Isn't it troublesome for me to fumble around the door all day? The neighbors see me and don't think I'm a thief?"

"Hahaha, is there a thief as handsome as you?" Li Chaoyue opened the door and entered the house, "Is there any unused key ring? I'll put it on for you."

"I don't know, I can't see it, you can look for it." Xu Yiren took off his coat and went into the second bedroom, took out the bedding from the cabinet and smelled it.

After he left, his mother came to help him clean and organize the apartment. The quilts seemed to have been washed in the sun, and they were packed in bags again. After drying the ones I used on my bed, I'm afraid these quilts will be a little damp.

Xu Yiren: "Li Chaoyue."

"Ah? What's the matter?" Li Chaoyue fumbled in a drawer under the TV cabinet without looking back, "Is this useful for you? How about I go out and buy a new keychain?"

Xu Yiren: "It seems to be in the kitchen cupboard, you can look for it."

"Okay!" Li Chaoyue didn't doubt that he was there, and immediately ran to the kitchen to rummage through the cabinets. After searching for a while, he asked, "Which cabinet? This room is full of cabinets!"

Xu Yiren quickly changed the quilts in the two rooms and put sheets on them. Feeling that his ability to live independently had improved a bit, he said in a good mood: "I don't know, I forgot."
