back from trouble

Five minutes later, the phone rang again.

Wei Shaoge called.

Laughing as he typed on the computer, he picked it up.

Then Wei Shaoge's voice came immediately, "Hey Xiaocheng...that was my colleague just now, I took a shower after finishing the experiment..."

"Yeah." Xiaocheng typed a few words while talking, "Are you going back now?"

Wei Shaoge was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated, "On the way..."

"Go back and rest early."

"Hey... wait, don't hang up first."

Smiling, he moved his fingers, pressed ctrls, and switched the phone to his right hand, "Well, I didn't hang up, what's wrong?"

On the phone, Wei Shaoge coughed lightly, as if saying hello to someone, and then his voice became clear again, "You didn't misunderstand anything, did you?"

"What's the misunderstanding?" Laughing, he nodded at the table, his eyes drifted down from the window, and fell on the dotted buildings in the dim night.

The smile on the corner of Wei Shaoge's mouth faded, and he waved to a colleague who said goodbye to him, and at the same time continued in a calm tone, "A senior brother will send data at around ten o'clock tonight, and he needs to call for verification. I Then I’m taking a shower, so let someone else pick it up for me.”

"Yeah." Xiaocheng looked away from the window, moved his wrist, and closed the computer cover, "Have you started today?"

"It's the first time today... Hey, how do you know? I've been wearing an isolation suit all day, and I'm covered in sweat."

There were a few laughs on the phone, "Why don't I know, after all, it's also a family background, isn't it. What's the result?"

Wei Shaoge unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"A third were successfully embedded."

"The success rate is quite high." Laughing into a voice of surprise.

Wei Shaoge smiled slightly, "My success rate is [-]/[-]."

As a result, there was a "puchi" sound over there.

"What's wrong?" Wei Shaoge wondered.

This tone was too cocky, he really didn't know that Wei Shaoge still had such a side.

Laughing and coughing twice, "It's okay, have you gone back?"

"It's almost here, by the way, why did you think of calling me today?" He walked under the streetlight, his steps became lighter unconsciously, he was in a better mood, and couldn't help but said, "Did you miss me?"

"I'm home." Xiao Cheng ignored his last sentence.

"Are you home? Are you in city b?" Wei Shaoge stopped in his tracks immediately, and gripped his phone tightly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier."

"I just arrived in the afternoon. I fell asleep when I was a little tired. I just woke up."

"Ah...then what are you doing now?"

On the phone, she smiled into a familiar, sweet chuckle, "I'm calling you."

The ending of "Ah" skipped over the tip of his heart with a naughty jump, Wei Shaoge's heart was soft and astringent, feeling extremely strange.

No response was heard, Xiaocheng continued, "Oh, I also ate something, I woke up a little hungry."

a little hungry

Wei Shaoge's heart suddenly moved, "What did you eat...are you full?"

"It's okay to reheat the leftovers at noon." Xiaocheng felt it deliberately, "I'm half full, and there's nothing good to eat at home."

"Oh," Wei Shaoge suggested casually in a steady voice, "I just happened to be a little hungry, or will this come out? I'll take you to a barbecue, I know the taste is very good."

Laughed into instant joy.

But immediately, he suddenly realized something.

Immediately restrained her smile, she knocked on the table silently, "Come on, let me take you to eat, I know this piece well. Where are you now?"

Xiaokang's laboratory is hung under a research institute he presided over, and the buildings are all in one place, and it is very close to his home.Because Wei Shaoge often has to work late in the laboratory, he lives not far away.

So Xiaocheng is very close to Wei Shaoge now.

After asking where the other party was, he changed his clothes, brought an extra coat of his own, and went out.About 10 minutes away, he saw the people waiting for him under the street lamp from a distance.

Wei Shaoge leaned against the streetlight in a casual posture, with both hands in the pockets of his jeans, and only a short sleeve on his upper body.He stood quietly for a while, took out his phone, looked at it, and put it back.He walked back and forth with his head down, kicking small stones on the ground from time to time.

This is a small road, and there are very few people coming and going at this point. Occasionally, someone rides a bicycle and makes a few slight metal crashes. He immediately raises his head to take a look, and then looks back.

The street lamp above his head cast two long unreal shadows on the ground, overlapping one another as he walked back and forth.Accompanied by the whistling of the night wind, it was so quiet.

He is waiting.

Wait for someone.

Xiaocheng quickened his pace, and the rustling footsteps suddenly became clear.

Wei Shaoge straightened his back, raised his chin, and turned his head to look at him.

Then the original, with the rigorous expression in the laboratory, seemed to melt in an instant.

His brows and eyes are indescribably flying.

The voice that could hardly help laughing out, "Laugh out!"

When he moved his arm, it seemed that he was about to stretch out his arm and wave it vigorously.The shoulder moved slightly, and it seemed that he was about to step up to meet him.

Finally held back.

At such a moment, Xiaocheng couldn't help but think of a sentence——

It seems that the stars are not last night, why is the wind dew for midnight?

He gently took a breath of the cool night air, and walked towards the other party.

The distance between the two is getting closer and closer until there is only a distance of two or three meters left.

He stopped suddenly.

stood in place.

Wei Shaoge waited for more than ten seconds, and finally couldn't help it, and stepped over first.

"Smile." He called again, stretching out his arms as if to hug him.

He withdrew his arm at the last second.

The difference in this second made him clearly realize that something was really different.

The world has changed.

He also has to try to change himself.

In addition to making yourself stronger and better.

Make yourself happier too.

Smiling into a slight smile towards the other party, "Let's go."

He said it naturally, and then slightly and proactively grabbed the other person's shoulder.

"Take you to eat good food, what flavor do you like? Charcoal grill or Dai style."

"...Oh," Wei Shaoge seemed to react for a second or two before saying, "I love to eat."

Xiao Cheng had retracted his arms and was walking side by side with him. At this moment, he couldn't help but lower his head and smile, and said to himself, "Food."

Wei Shaoge didn't hear clearly, so he asked again, "What?"

"No," Xiao Cheng tilted his head and glanced at him, with a smile in his eyes.

Seeing that Wei Shaoge was wearing short sleeves, he thought of something, asked him "is it cold", and handed him the paper bag in his hand for him to put it on.

Wei Shaoge blurted out the word "no" for "not cold", and quickly swallowed the last word back.

"Nothing?" Xiao Cheng asked him.

The two of them were of similar stature, and Xiaocheng's clothes, Wei Shaoge's, were also very suitable.

While putting on the other sleeve, Wei Shaoge said without changing his face, "You're welcome."

Smiling into a stunned smile, "I didn't ask you to say thank you."

Both of them were silent for a while, Xiaocheng led Wei Shaoge to a main road.It was past eleven o'clock at this time, and most buses were out of service, and of course there was no subway.

Wei Shaoge looked at it and laughed, thinking they were going to take a taxi.

Unexpectedly, many empty cars flew past along the way, and Xiao Cheng didn't raise his arms.He stopped when he reached a small square by the side of the road.

There was no one in the square, only two long rows of beige bicycles parked, neatly locked to the railings.

"Aren't we going to have supper?" Wei Shaoge looked puzzled and smiled.

"Need a means of transportation." Xiaocheng raised his chin as a signal, then suddenly took two steps faster, leaning on the railing and flipping over neatly.

Wei Shaoge was dumbfounded.

"What are you going to do?" He hurriedly stopped Xiao Cheng, and persuaded, "Let's stop the car, it's fast and convenient."

Smiling, he squatted down and lifted the car lock with one hand, "No, a bicycle is more convenient." At the same time, he took out a card from his wallet.

"Smile! This is not very good..."

Wei Shaoge just dropped the word "Ba" hesitantly, and then he smiled and swiped the sensor area of ​​the car lock neatly.

With a sound of "beep", the lock cylinder automatically jumped away.At the same time, a recorded female voice sounded, "Welcome to use the public bicycle, your credit information has been entered, please return the bicycle to any parking spot in the city within the specified time, otherwise it will cause a bad credit record. I wish you a happy use, Good trip."

Xiaocheng looked up at Wei Shaoge, "What did you say is not good?"

Wei Shaoge: ...

"It's nothing."

Xiao Cheng just didn't take the usual way when he went in. After picking up the car, he obediently pushed the car out along the side ramp.

Then he watched Wei Shaoge.

Wei Shaoge also looked at him.

Half a minute later, Xiao Cheng suddenly slapped his forehead in frustration, "I forgot that you don't have a citizen card of City B."

Wei Shaoge had an innocent expression.

Xiaocheng explained, "That place is not far away, but it's a bit out of the way. I can't get in with a car. It takes a long time to walk by taxi. I thought it would be faster for us to go there by bicycle."

Wei Shaoge: "So that's how it is."

"I'll return the car, let's walk over."

"Wait," Wei Shaoge stretched out his arms to stop him, "You also said that walking is farther."

"Ok?"

"So I can take you by bike." Wei Shaoge smiled a little excitedly.

Laughing and looking at him for a while, "Forget it."

He pushed the car out.

Wei Shaoge quickly chased after him, "What's wrong?"

Smiling, he raised his legs and stepped up, "I'll take you with me, let's go." He kicked his feet and rode up.

After riding for a few meters, Wei Shaoge quickly walked behind.

"what happened?"

Wei Shaoge showed obvious displeasure, "Why don't you let me take you?"

Laughing into an "oh", he hesitated for a moment, a little embarrassed, "I always wanted to ride a bicycle to and from school with my girlfriend when I was in high school."

"But it never came to fruition," he added.

Then he changed the subject deliberately, "Come on up quickly, aren't you hungry?"

This time Wei Shaoge sat on it without hesitation.

With a smile, he kicked his foot, and the car rode out steadily.

But Wei Shaoge obviously caught something from the words he just laughed out loud, "Did you ever have a girlfriend in high school? Don't you think any little girls like you?"

"I've talked about it." Xiaocheng was thinking about how to express this, but after thinking about it, Wei Shaoge is not a girl, so he might not care so much, so he just told the truth, "I talked about a few, and one of them was pursued by me on my own initiative. .”

The implication is that the other girls are chasing him on their own initiative.

Wei Shaoge guessed that Xiaocheng was quite popular, but also vaguely hoped that the other party would not be so popular.Wei Shaoge also guessed that his temperament, which is hot on the outside and cold on the inside because of his laughter, is probably being chased by others.

But he didn't expect that Xiao Cheng would even take the initiative to chase after a girl.

The car got into an alley and suddenly became pitch black.The ground was potholed, and the car jumped and jumped.Wei Shaoge was still thinking about a girl that Xiao Cheng took the initiative to chase after.

From the front came the soft and indifferent voice of the other party in the dark, "Sit still, there is a turn ahead."

Then there is a sharp bend.

Even though he had been reminded, Wei Shaoge still threw himself.

Of course he didn't fall.

He hugged the man in front of him tightly.

Then he clearly felt that the thin waist and back under his hands visibly stiffened.

Wei Shaoge suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He wanted to let go immediately.

But not reconciled...and reluctant.

However, just when he let go of his arms and hesitated a little.

Three low words came from the front——

"Hold tight."
