Abnormal

New Year's Eve.

There are people coming and going at the train station, and the sound of boxes turning and pedestrians seeing off can be heard everywhere.Gao Tong sat on the suitcase and played with his mobile phone. The light in the darkness illuminated his face, showing a slightly tired look of a young man.

Behind him, the red lanterns swayed in the wind, burning above the building like balls of flames. The three big characters of "Nanjing Station" glow faintly in the night sky.

This year's Spring Festival is still some time away from New Year's Day, but the number of people traveling is already several times that of usual.Gao Tong smelled the smoke coming from nowhere, and frowned slightly from the choking.

He is the train ticket for tonight.From Nanjing to Shanghai, it takes only a few hours.The unit was on holiday on New Year's Day, as was the case in Shanghai, and the staff dormitory could not be checked in, so he temporarily booked a sofa seat in a youth hostel for a few nights.

He doesn't have much luggage.He mailed the sheets and quilts and the electric heater and dryer that the other party gave him directly, and there were not many leftovers, and finally a large suitcase was filled.Before leaving, he looked at the training props in a black leather bag in a small box, and was very embarrassed.

The training props that the other party bought for him seemed to be of great value, so they couldn't just throw them away in a row.But it was really embarrassing for him to bring all of this over.

After much deliberation, he finally took the small box with him.

Gao Tong looked up at the screen and found that his train number was about to be checked. He glanced at the phone again and picked up the suitcase and walked towards the entrance.

He sighed softly.The other party was probably too busy these days, so he didn't chat with him or call him.And Gao Tong himself was too embarrassed to talk to the other party, and the two hadn't contacted each other for a few days.

He has always been a very passive person, and this is also the case in his interpersonal interactions with other people, and he has never felt that there is any pity.But recently he found that as long as he didn't talk to Mr. Bai for a while, a feeling of loss and panic would arise spontaneously.

The other party just made an appointment with him on a date, and Gao Tong didn't know any other information.He even wondered if he was going to be released as a pigeon?

But Mr. Bai would not be such a person—at least that was the impression he had left on him during the brief contact between the two of them. He was a trustworthy master.Aside from being a bit harsh during training, most of the time it is gentle, polite and funny, and I will tell myself some trivial things in life...

However, it is always myself who thinks backwards and forwards and thinks wildly.But it's clear that the opponent is the dominant one, so why can't they take the initiative?

An ID card is required for ticket checking. He just put his hand in his pocket when he felt his phone vibrate suddenly.It was probably another push from an app, but Gao Tong didn't pay attention to it. After a while, he sat down after storing all his luggage. When he took out his phone, he saw a missed call.

...It's Mr. Bai.

Gao Tong felt his throat tighten, he licked his lips, wondering if he should dial it back.

But in this gap, the other party called again.Gao Tong's hand paused for a moment on the answer button, and then connected with a tremor—"Hello?"

"Gao Tong?"

"Yes, it's me."

"I'm dealing with urgent matters these days, so I didn't call you."

Gao Tong breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, "It's okay, I've been quite busy recently..."

Even if he was very idle, he was unwilling to say that he had been waiting for the other party's call.

"Well, have you arrived in Shanghai yet? Do you have a place to live?"

"I'm temporarily staying in a youth hostel tonight. I won't go to work on New Year's Day tomorrow, and I'll go to my new company the day after tomorrow. I..."

The other party said: "Okay."

Gao Tong responded embarrassingly.The other party did not say anything about the meeting, Gao Tong was even more ashamed to speak.

But this is also impossible.

He himself has made a lot of determination and overcome psychological barriers to accept this relationship, and is even willing to be adjusted by reality, so he can't take another step.

The other party said: "You won't go to work the day after tomorrow, will you?"

Gao Tong's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he couldn't even hear the sound of pedestrians carrying luggage back and forth. He focused all his attention on the small receiver.

"I sent you the address, just go here when the time comes."

Gao Tong didn't have time to look at the address, so he just said, "...OK."

"You don't need to bring anything, just people."

Gao Tong didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence at first.He thought that the meeting he mentioned was just going to a coffee shop or a restaurant for a meal, and it was impossible to start training directly.But it wasn't until he saw the address information sent by the other party that he was really dumbfounded——

This is clearly the name of a hotel.
