Abnormal

Bai Xiuwen said slowly: "It's almost twelve o'clock."

"……what?"

Gao Tong stood beside the bed in a daze as if he had just woken up from a big dream.He looked at the mobile phone that was still showing the call, his mind was in a daze like a mess, but he also knew that he had really taken that step.

And the voice of the other party still came from the other end slowly, it was too unreal.

"Today is enough, you should go to sleep."

Gao Tong's lips moved, "But, but you..." He seemed to be biting his tongue when he said this, and quickly changed his words, "Do you think it's over?"

The other party was silent for a moment, "I can't delay your rest, this can be done slowly."

"Oh……"

Hearing the other party's reaction, Bai Xiuwen reckoned that the other party's emotions should go down, "Are you disappointed?"

Gao Tong's voice was a little nasal: "No, I was just wondering if I was incompetent."

He knew like a mirror in his heart, knowing that the other party stopped the training on purpose first.Therefore, a sense of unreasonable guilt and shame haunted his heart.He has always been so inadequate, even this kind of thing can't be done well.

"But I'm very satisfied." Bai Xiuwen imagined the look of the man on the other end of the network cable with lowered eyebrows, his Adam's apple moved up and down, and said, "As long as you are willing to take the first step, you don't have to worry about the rest of the road."

He didn't dare to say everything, for fear of scaring this person.

This road must require the two of them to support each other to go on.He longs to conquer and be relied on, and Gao Tong will also need him.

Gao Tong shook his head to wake himself up.The other party probably didn't have any deep meaning in saying this. A person in a high position said what he said to the person under him. Most of the words were temporary emotional words. Anyone who took it seriously would be a fool.

He pretended he hadn't heard it before, and coughed, "Let's... chat for a while?"

"Okay." Bai Xiuwen glanced at his watch, "10 minutes. After that, you have to sleep."

Gao Tong muttered in a low voice, "It's really strict..."

He hated being disciplined like a child, but at this moment he couldn't bear the slightest hint of impatience.The whole mind is put on the dialogue with the other party.

"There may be heavy snow in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai in the past few days, so you should wear more clothes."

"I heard what my colleagues said, and I'm still wondering if the 0-degree dividing line is going to move down from the Qinling and Huaihe rivers."

"...Well, do you have thick clothes?"

"Yes, but in this area, the outside is warmer than the inside of the house, and it feels cold even if you wear anything." Just as he was speaking, Gao Tong's hands were already freezing, and he quickly shrank into the bed and whispered: "You are from Beijing. People, I should have been to Tianjin... I kind of miss the pancakes from my hometown."

The other party responded, and after a while said: "I want to too."

Gao Tong was curious: "Do you have Peking duck in the United States? What about other Chinese dishes?"

"There are, but the taste is average."

"Then what do you do when you miss your hometown food?"

The other end coughed lightly, "I can cook."

"Actually, I can also do a little bit... But in the house I rented, there was only a public kitchen on the side of the floor, and it couldn't fit in the room, and it was very difficult to exhaust the smoke."

The other party didn't say anything.

Mr. Bai may not know what to say, after all, with his economic conditions, it is impossible to imagine a house with this kind of structure, Gao Tong thought a little self-deprecatingly.

Sure enough, the other party changed the subject: "Have you prepared an electric blanket?"

"Originally there were, but later a tenant's electric blanket caught fire and the house was burned down, and the landlord refused to let us use it." Gao Tong's eyelids were a little heavy, and he couldn't help yawning, "I didn't bother to spread the blanket later. "

His need to talk was uncharacteristically strong tonight, even though the person he was talking to didn't sound very interested in the little things in life.

But it's nice to have someone to listen to...

At the moment, tiredness and coldness came together, Gao Tong couldn't stand it anymore, and finally fell into a deep sleep.

Bo Xiuwen had been listening silently. Pancake ran over and scratched his trouser legs, and when he saw that the owner ignored it, he scratched the carpet angrily with his front paws.

And it wasn't until he heard the other party's speaking speed getting slower and slower, and finally came the sound of even breathing, that Bai Xiuwen bent down to pick up the cat and feed it.

He whispered 'good night' to the other end of the phone, and the other party replied to him in a daze.

Bo Xiuwen lowered his eyes, filled the pancakes with cat milk powder, and was a little lost in thought.

Many things in this world lack challenges.Just like his life, there has never been conflict and change.But he has never looked forward to tomorrow like he is now, and he misses today that is slipping away.
