Abnormal

There are a lot of things at work today. Recently, it is the product after-sales feedback period. The department has collected the opinion data of the audience and sent them to them for technical improvement.Gao Tong worked overtime for an extra hour.

After get off work, Gao Tong was not in a hurry to squeeze the subway, but instead walked slowly by the side of the road.

He dawdled for a while until the sky was getting dark, and the small shops on the street were lit up with neon lights one by one, adding the warm light of the residential buildings and reflecting the appearance of thousands of lights.And it wasn't until he found that the shops on the side of the road were hung up with imitation snowballs and Christmas trees and other pendants, that Gao Tong belatedly thought: So Christmas is coming.

This kind of foreign festival with no special meaning is of little significance to a person like him who lives alone from nine to five.There is no other reason, he has few people who can share happiness and sorrow.

People passed by him in groups, happily talking about what they had seen and heard that day.The streets are bustling with activity, and there are vendors selling candied haws and ginger cola.Gao Tong shuddered, unable to restrain himself, and suddenly wanted to talk to someone.

He turned on his phone and quickly found that person among many group messages.Just when I was about to type, I received a message from the other party——

Tartarus: Are you home yet?

Crab Dumplings in Soup: God... I was just about to send you a message.

Tartarus: Coincidentally, I just woke up.

As soon as I chatted with Mr. Bai, Gao Tong's heartbeat speeded up inexplicably, and he didn't even feel cold at the moment, "Yeah...it's a coincidence."

Bai Xiuwen got up and poured a glass of water, the corners of his mouth curled up when he saw this sentence, "Have you had dinner?"

"No..." Gao Tong just finished speaking, and quickly added, "Don't order it for me!"

"Ah."

I don't know which store played Christmas songs, and the joyful atmosphere rendered the people around.Gao Tong suddenly remembered the original intention of chatting with the other party, and typed: "Christmas is coming..."

Tartarus: Hmm.

Crab Dumplings in Soup: Are you on vacation soon?

Tartarus: Actually, I can go home now.

Gao Tong was taken aback for a moment, feeling a little nervous for some reason, "Then you..."

"There are still some things to deal with, and I will return to China around New Year's Day."

"Oh, do you count Christmas as a winter vacation? Will there be another semester after returning to China?"

"No, I'll come back for an internship after I get my diploma." Bai Xiuwen answered patiently, and then asked, "Do you want to meet?"

"..." Gao Tong took a deep breath, "I'm almost home, let's talk when I get home!"

He didn't know what illness he had, but he felt hot all over in the cold weather. He bought a candied haws on the side of the road, held it in his hand, and walked quickly towards home.

It wasn't until he got home that he calmed down a little.

Meet?From online training directly to reality?He thought that he should not even dare to think about it, but when the other party really said it, he actually felt a little bit of joy.

But obviously I don't know what kind of person the other party is.The Internet is virtual and hidden, and any image can be disguised.Maybe the other party is just like what he guessed at the beginning, with a stalwart figure but an ugly appearance, and maybe very...

I'm not going to fall in love, why do you think about it?Gao Tong shook his head, waved away those strange thoughts, and took out his phone——

Crab Roe Soup: I'm home.

It took a while for the other party to reply: Yes.

Can't you answer me with one more word?Gao Tong took a bite of the candied haws, and the sugar coating on the outside melted in his mouth, and the hawthorns that were frozen with icy scum turned red, and his sour expression changed instantly.

Tartarus: Anything else tonight?

Gao Tong didn't understand what the other party meant by asking this, and replied: "It should...not."

"Go take a shower, the courier will probably arrive later."
