It's rare to get off work on time, Xia Yonghui finished packing his things and saw Gao Ren sitting on his seat with his head bowed, his whole body seemed to be surrounded by low air pressure, he sighed silently and reached out to tap his computer screen.

"Huh?" Gao Ren raised his face and looked at him with confused eyes, "What's the matter?"

I don't know if this little guy cried himself to sleep every night, and his eyeballs were still swollen in the afternoon.

In the past few days, I have been taking the same subway with Gao Ren, Xia Yonghui asked habitually: "It's off work, do you want to go?"

Gao Ren nodded with empty eyes: "Oh... let's go..."

After he finished cleaning up, Xia Yonghui looked at the time and felt that he would catch up with the most crowded subway, and suggested: "Let's have dinner first, and miss the evening rush hour."

"That... you go by yourself... I'm not hungry..."

Gao Ren has visibly lost weight in the past few days. Before that, he lost five catties, and his chin was so sharp that it bounced back after a few days. But now, his bun face is almost thinner into a square face. up.Xia Yonghui really can't see how depressed he is. In his opinion, the relationship between Gao Ren and Lu Yuanqiao is not a matter of principle. One is not derailed, the other is not domestic violence, and the third is not cheating money and sex. Has Qiao posted a few pictures of green hats? Why did they get so separated?

"You have to accompany me even if you are not hungry, and you can watch while I eat."

Gao Ren couldn't help but dragged her out of the office, into the elevator, out of the gate of the unit, and ran to the Donggang Tea Restaurant on the pedestrian street.There weren't too many people in the hourly restaurant, so he found a corner for two people. He pushed Gao Ren onto the chair and asked the waiter to come and take an order.

"Two sets of chicken with rose soy sauce." After ordering, Xia Yonghui poured a glass of lemonade and handed it to Gao Ren. There is no way to live together without quarreling, why do you have to look like you are dying."

Sighing slowly, Gao Ren raised the plastic cup to his lips, watching his brows drooping: "I think... if it doesn't work, let's break up... Anyway, Yuan Qiao...bears me for a long time It's..."

"Go! What nonsense are you talking about?"

If it weren't for the fact that he was in a public place, Xia Yonghui would have slapped the table to shake Gao Ren's mind.Although he has not been here for a long time, but seeing the way these two people get along with each other every day, he feels that no matter who dumps the other, it is impossible to find someone more suitable for him: The master who makes up his mind that even eight cows can't be pulled back; Gao Ren looks heartless and laughing, but in fact he is very thoughtful, especially tolerant, and is very good at considering issues from the standpoint of others; compared to the law between the opposite sex And children to restrain the two parties, apart from the dependence of time, it is not easy for the same-sex relationship to last for a long time.

He himself had been defeated by reality, so from the bottom of his heart he didn't want to see Gao Ren and Lu Yuanqiao miss each other because of trivial matters.

"Xiao Xia...you...you don't know..." Gao Ren sighed helplessly after closing his eyes, the circles under his eyes that hadn't subsided were slightly red again, "Yuan Qiao actually...he's been accommodating me...with his I can go anywhere I want with my ability, but I... other than forensic medicine... I don't know what else I can do... His mother wants him to go back to the company to work, if it's not because of me, he..."

Turning his head away, Gao Ren stubbornly stared at the black and white photos of the old streets of Hong Kong hanging on the wall, holding back his sadness: "Some time ago, his mother's company had some financial problems. Stop calling to borrow money everywhere, I can only watch from the sidelines...see him humbly begging for help..."

The hand under the table lightly clenched his fist, Xia Yonghui leaned forward, and said solemnly: "Then you think you're worthless? Gao Ren, I really didn't expect you to look down on yourself so much."

Gao Ren smiled helplessly: "The story of Cinderella and the prince can only exist in fairy tales forever... There is a funding gap of several hundred million, and I really can't help at all..."

"Oh," Xia Yonghui suddenly remembered something, "It turns out that you asked Mr. Qi for the contact information of the trust fund management company a few days ago to help him find funds."

"Well, Teacher Qi is the only person I know who never has to worry about money." Gao Ren lowered his head, "Yuan Qiao doesn't want his colleagues to be involved in financial relationships, so I went to see Teacher Qi, and he found out...and said gave me a meal..."

"I think he doesn't want to bother you with family affairs." Xia Yonghui commented pertinently, "Actually, from what I know about the people in the circle, Yuan Qiao is pretty good, besides , the shoes are comfortable or uncomfortable, only the feet know, he will be unhappy with you, you two won’t be able to live together for so long... Okay, stop thinking about it, I will accompany you back to your parents in a while, pack your things and go home. "

Gao Ren said nothing, lowered his head, and used his right hand to tear off the dry skin on the edge of his left fingernail.At this time, the waiter brought the set meal, put it down and put it away, left a sentence "I wish you a happy meal", and then turned around and ran to another table.Xia Yonghui poured a cup of boiling water, put the hot chopsticks upside down into Gao Ren's hands, and ordered: "Eat quickly, I'm treating guests, don't waste it."

His eye sockets became hot, and his eyes were blurred. Gao Ren sniffled and said, "...Xiao Xia..."

"Ok?"

"you are nice."

"What's the matter, are you in love with me?"

"—"

Gao Ren was taken aback for a moment, then quickly lowered his head to pick up the rice when he came back to his senses.Seeing his heightened vigilance at that second, Xia Yonghui hooked the corners of his mouth, picked up a piece of delicious and tender chicken and stuffed it into his mouth.The meat is sweet, but it can be chewed in the mouth, and it is inexplicably bitter—I am still single, and I worry about other people eating salty radishes all day long.

"Why don't you find friends?" Gao Ren asked vaguely.

"It's not suitable, it's better to lack than to overuse."

"I haven't been looking for it yet..."

"Divided." Spit out a bone into the plate, Xia Yonghui stared at the chicken rib, frowned, "Parents' orders are hard to break, they have to go back and get married."

Gao Ren frowned after hearing this: "Ah? Isn't that... you were scumbag?"

"It's not considered a scum, his mother's lung cancer is terminal, and there are not many days left, so I can only say... Hey, that woman doesn't love him, so she just sees that he has a Beijing household registration. Strictly speaking, this marriage At best it's a deal... He asked me to wait for him, but I'm..." He stopped his chopsticks, Xia Yonghui clicked his tongue like a toothache, shook his head and sighed with a smile, "I'm so hypocritical, I'm not happy anyway I definitely can't wrong myself... But Gao Ren, this is the reality that our group of people really need to face. It's not easy to be like you and Lu Yuanqiao, Luo Jianan and Qi Ming. If you don't know you, it's like listening to fairy tales The story is the same, so you have to cherish it."

"..."

Gao Ren had nothing to say.I know it's not easy, but it's just that things haven't happened to me, so I can't empathize with them.Just like the case I took before, a young man was beaten to death on the street, he was a transvestite.He was drinking with his friends in the bar, and was recognized by a few drunk men at the next table as a man disguised as a woman, and he was verbally insulted, and then a dispute broke out between the two sides.As soon as he got out of the bar, someone hit the back of the head with a stick and died on the spot.

Although the people in the bureau are very friendly and love them sincerely, but leaving this tolerant environment, the outside world is still so harsh that it is frightening.It seems that it is because my feelings came too easily, and I was not hindered by external forces, and the journey went smoothly, so that I don't know how to cherish more and more.

Not only does he not know how to cherish, but Lu Yuanqiao also has a little bit of that.Both men were at fault for this.Lu Yuanqiao shouldn't be narrow-minded, and he shouldn't have run away from home in a fit of anger, not even giving each other a chance to calm down and have a good talk.However, Lu Yuanqiao has been running outside these few days, busy investigating Li Lijie's case, and has never met anyone.

Putting down his chopsticks, Gao Ren took out his phone and called up the call log.He hesitated staring at the last missed call, his heart wavered.Finally, he plucked up the courage to call back, but the phone rang and was cut off, and no one answered.He sighed in frustration, and put the screen face down on the table.Either Lu Yuanqiao was too busy to answer the phone, or the other party didn't want to answer it. At this moment, he was more inclined to the latter.

Maybe... Yuan Qiao also wanted to give up?Thinking of this, his nose became sore again, and he quickly poured soup into his mouth to avoid crying in front of Xia Yonghui.

After a meal, Gao Ren felt depressed and rushed to pay the bill at the checkout.Xia Yonghui was worried about him, he was grateful and embarrassed to let others spend the money.When he came out of the shop, he heard Xia Yonghui urging him to go home and pack his things, and felt his footsteps getting heavier and heavier.

"Eh? Is that Yuan Qiao's car?"

Following Xia Yonghui's words, Gao Ren looked up at the intersection of the pedestrian street, and sure enough, it was Lu Yuanqiao's Passat parked by the side of the road.The car window was open, and the small lights in the car were on. The dim yellow light vaguely outlined someone's tired side face.The red and blue police lights on the roof of the car flashed silently. After all, it was a place where parking was prohibited. It seemed that someone had abused his authority in order to park here.

The anchor point on the phone screen keeps approaching, and suddenly freezes again.Seeing this, Lu Yuanqiao put away his mobile phone, turned his head to look at Gao Ren who was about 20 meters away from him, pushed the door with a heavy breath, got out of the car and walked towards him.His and Gao Ren's phones share the same APPLEID, and they can locate each other's location directly by using the "find" function.I have been busy the past few days, so I didn't have time to have a good talk with the other party. I hurried back today, but Gao Ren had already left work, so I had to use GPS to check the other party's location. I found that he was on the pedestrian street, and he hadn't moved for a long time. With a little judgment, you can tell that you are eating.

Hey, all the criminal investigation experience accumulated in the work is used here.

Standing still in front of Gao Ren, Lu Yuanqiao first glanced at Xia Yonghui whose eyes were wandering, and then said with a little displeasure: "No one calls, and you don't return home. What do you want to do?"

Faced with the questioning, Gao Ren shrank his shoulders and subconsciously hid behind Xia Yonghui, but was grabbed by Lu Yuanqiao and dragged towards the car.Going to the side of the car, he opened the door and stuffed Gao Ren into the passenger seat. Lu Yuanqiao leaned over and pulled the seat belt to help him fasten it.From a long distance away, he waved goodbye to Xia Yonghui, and then got into the car.

The window of the car was slowly raised, and before his sight was completely blocked, Xia Yonghui watched Gao Ren being grabbed by Lu Yuanqiao with the back of his head towards him. This is eating your dog food with the cold wind?

Well, it's a good thing I didn't pay for the meal, otherwise it would be even more frustrating.
