Scumbag's contract canary

Before Tang Du's business trip ended, Yuan Xi handed in his work.

The size of the painting was not big. According to the requirements of the teacher in class, Yuan Xi packaged the painting bit by bit, and took it to the tutor's office in person.

The instructor was also surprised when he saw him, and took his hand and said, "My child, you have worked too hard, you need to take a good rest for a while."

Yuan Xi nodded, but didn't listen much.

He even took a bag of oranges with him when he left. The instructor said that his wife picked them with his little sister when they went out to play. They were all natural and asked him to take a photo of him after eating them so that he could help his wife.

In fact, it's not for business affairs, Yuan Xi understands.

Coming out of the teaching building with the oranges in hand, Yuan Xi planned to get a haircut first.He knew he was in a bad state, and he hadn't looked in the mirror for a long time.The main reason was that Tang Du should be back soon, Yuan Xi not only planned to have a good haircut, but also decided to eat more at night.

When he arrived at the barber shop, Yuan Xi chose a simple look from the barber's many recommendations, and sat on the chair for the first time to see how he could scare others.

The chin is thin and pointed, the hair is long enough to cover the eyes, flying in a mess, and the face is pale.The neck and shoulders are thinner, the collarbone protrudes from the collar of the T-shirt, and the ring on the index finger no longer feels tight.

The barber stood in front of Yuan Xi, began to trim his hair, and seemingly inadvertently said: "Young people should take good care of their bodies."

It took nearly an hour for the haircut, trimmed off the long hair and made a simple fluffy shape, Yuan Xi looked much more refreshed.

Just after leaving the barber shop, Chizhou Aite called Yuanxi in the dormitory group, and said that someone at school saw him in the afternoon, and wanted to have dinner together in the evening.

Yuan Xi agreed, he thought very simply, have dinner with everyone, eat something good, he needs to gain weight immediately.

But Chi Zhou's reason for letting Yuan Xi come to eat was not so simple.

It was Friday, [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and the three of them were playing games in the dormitory. Chi Zhou received a message from a junior sister, saying that there was something in the department that he wanted to bring to him, so Chi Zhou went downstairs.

The junior sister did come to hand him a document, but after the documents were handed over, she stopped Chi Zhou: "Yuanxi, is that the name?"

Chi Zhou turned around and asked, "My roommate, what's wrong?"

"I saw him in the teacher's office this afternoon, and he... looked really bad."

Chi Zhou was taken aback after hearing this, and thanked his junior sister.

After returning to the dormitory, he told the news to the other two, only Yu Zeming looked thoughtful, Chi Zhou pushed his shoulder and asked, "Do you know anything?"

Yu Zeming shook his head and said, "I'm not sure."

Ou Yuan then suggested that they ask Yuan Xi to come out for dinner tonight. Everyone hadn't seen Yuan Xi since May [-]st, and the reason was quite good, so there was the news about Chi Zhou.

They chose a Chinese restaurant and called Song Wanwan. There were girls there, so they could observe more carefully.

Yuan Xi was the last to arrive. He walked in wearing a peaked cap, and his face and chin were narrowed under the white brim.However, because of the haircut, Yuan Xi doesn't seem to be as exaggerated as that junior sister said in the afternoon, but it can be seen that it is indeed not very good.

The extra ring on his hand is very obvious, everyone noticed it, but didn't mention it.

Ou Yuan first pretended to be okay and asked casually: "Yuanxi, why have you been there recently? You haven't contacted us since May [-]st."

Yuan Xi typed and said: Draw a picture.

Ou Yuan and Song Wanwan looked at each other, and Song Wanwan asked, "Is it the art exhibition of that foreign art museum?"

Yuan Xi nodded.

The people at the table breathed a sigh of relief.

The art exhibition that Song Wanwan said was extremely valuable. They liked to accept some students' works very much, and being able to participate in their exhibition was the best recognition of the strength of young painters.

But everyone knows that a good painting is not only good in technique, but more importantly, in the emotion of the painting.

"Now that we're done, let's have a good rest," Chi Zhou said, and handed the menu to Yuan Xi, "You can order."

Yuan Xi took it over and saw Chi Zhou pushing Ou Yuan, saying, "He's very hungry today, come on more."

After dinner, they said they wanted to go to a movie and asked Yuan Xi if they wanted to be together, Yuan Xi agreed.

The road from the restaurant to the cinema is not long, and a group of people walked there.

In the evening, Yuan Xi ate very full, because everyone was picking up vegetables for him, and Yuan Xi lived up to everyone's kindness, and ate all of them.

Yu Zeming and Yuan Xi walked last, listening to the chattering of the three people in front.Yuan Xi only hung half of his ear, because he felt that Yu Zeming seemed to have something to say to him.

When crossing the road, Yuanxi's shoelaces fell apart, Yu Zeming stayed behind and waited for him, the people in front left without noticing, leaving them stopped by the red light.

Yuan Xi stood up again, glanced at Yu Zeming, and Yu Zeming said, "Have you been having a bad time recently? Did Tang Du not come to take care of you?"

Yuan Xi thought his words were strange, so he frowned and looked at him again.

"I know, Tang Du took you to Elson's art exhibition, right? The news is flying all over the world in that circle," Yu Zeming whispered as if sighing, "Tang Du is still thinking, he deserves to be killed in the battlefield of."

The green light turned on again, and Yu Zeming was about to move forward, when Yuan Xi grabbed his sleeve, and he looked back at him in surprise: "You don't know?"

Yuan Xi shook his head, signaling Yu Ze to speak quickly.

"Actually, I don't know too well. It's probably because of the Bai family's affairs. Their company has involved too many people's interests. These people have united to deal with Huazhou's new overseas projects. Huazhou has very little contact with overseas projects. Skilled, now something is wrong."

Now Yu Zeming is sure that Yuan Xi really doesn't know, he looks very dazed.

"This is the reason why Tang Du flew to San Francisco himself. They are also working on a very important project in China, and now it is all handed over to Pei Yan."

Yuan Xi was in a daze throughout the whole movie, he didn't even know what kind of movie it was.

It was only after Yu Zeming's words that Yuan Xi realized that he hadn't had a video with Tang Du for a long time, and even text messages were rare.

In the middle of the movie, Yuan Xi turned on his phone and sent Tang Du a message: When can you come back.

After more than an hour, the movie ended and the lights were turned on. Yuan Xi did not wait for Tang Du's reply.

"Can you go back by yourself?" Chi Zhou asked.

They were standing outside the cinema. Recently, due to the hot weather, it was cooler at night. There was a bit of wind, but the temperature was more comfortable.

Yuan Xi nodded, said goodbye to the four of them, and walked in the opposite direction alone.

He should take a taxi back, or send a message to Uncle Chen to pick him up, because there is still a long way to go, and it is late, and the subway and bus have already left work.

But Yuan Xi just wanted to take a walk.

After more than an hour, Yuan Xi returned to the villa, washed up, and it was already late at night.

Yuan Xi turned on the small lamp beside the bed and kept his eyes open.

After returning to China, Yuan Xi was abandoned by the matter of sleep.

The appearance of the painting would often appear clearly in Yuan Xi's mind, making him unable to sleep all night long. He missed Tang Du very much, but when he woke up he felt not so awake, and wanted to hold the pen when he moved.

He began to stay up late into the night, quietly ran into Tang Du's room, lay on his bed, and buried his head in Tang Du's pillow in the usual position where Tang Du hugged him, sniffing carefully with the tip of his nose up, because he was afraid Irene didn't dare to mess up the quilt in the room when she was discovered.

This lasted for many days, Yuan Xi was always cautious.

This evening he did the same.The quilt was thin in early summer, Yuan Xi wrapped her quilt into a ball and hugged her chest, walked lightly to Tang Du's room, and lay down as usual.

After a while, Yuan Xi might be able to fall asleep.

But there was something different tonight. Yuan Xi was sleepy very quickly, and when his consciousness was blurred, he felt that the door was opened, but he was not nervous, because for a long time Yuan Xi could not distinguish reality from imagination.

The whole house is dark in the hallway, and Erin won't notice.Tang Du didn't reply to Yuan Xi's message until he lay down, so he must still be busy.

No one will find out.

Yuan Xi felt his body sinking.

The footsteps became louder and louder, and two or three seconds later, Yuan Xi opened his eyes vigilantly, and sat up from the bed.

"Yuanxi?"

Yuan Xi half-closed his eyes because he couldn't bear the stimulation of the light. The voice seemed to come out of his countless dreams, which made Yuan Xi very scared and fake, and shrank back to the bed.

"Why haven't you slept yet?" Tang Du walked towards Yuanxi.

His face gradually enlarged in front of Yuan Xi's eyes, a little more real tired than the one in Yuan Xi's dream.

Tang Du didn't ask Yuan Xi why he was here, he bent down and touched his face, and held the back of his neck to pull him away.

"Yuan Xi, why did you make yourself look like this?"

Only then did Yuan Xi confirm that this was the real Tang Du, and leaned over to hug his waist and kiss him skillfully, but was dragged away after only a few kisses.

"Can you answer my question?" Tang Du looked at him again with his usual serious expression, and spoke in a heavy tone.

Yuan Xi looked at him, and stretched out his hand uncertainly to touch the bridge of his nose, but was held by Tang Du halfway. Tang Du took his hand, lowered his head and squeezed it lightly and heavily, so that Yuan Xi could not see clearly. expression.

"You'll make me feel that I'm not competent," Tang Du raised his eyes to look at him, and changed a look that Yuan Xi couldn't understand, "Sleep first, I'm going to take a bath."

After Tang Du finished speaking, he put down Yuan Xi, buried him in the quilt before leaving.

Yuan Xi looked at Tang Du's back, sorry that he was an incompetent person, making Tang Du worry about work while thinking about himself.

But Tang Du didn't just want to take a bath, he just needed an excuse to leave Yuanxi for a while.When the affairs in the United States were about to end, Chen Jingyun told him about the two or three phone calls from Irene, and Tang Du personally replied one when he felt something was wrong.

Irene faltered, Tang Du said a few words firmly before she finally opened her mouth and told him about Yuan Xi's situation during this time.

Tang Du was very angry after hearing this, scolded Irene and Chen Jingyun with a sullen face for messing around, postponed the celebration banquet on the last day and asked Chen Jingyun to change his ticket, and saw the message from Yuanxi only after getting off the plane.Yuan Xi must have known something, but this was not something that Tang Du thought Yuan Xi needed to participate in.

He stood in the living room and contacted a well-known psychiatrist, hoping that he would come to the house directly when he had time. After hanging up the phone, Tang Du immediately called Yuan Xi's mentor, and Chen Jingyun got the number.

Tang Du still said that he was Yuan Xi's little uncle, and asked him sternly if he understood his student's current half-dead state. The tutor didn't show any dissatisfaction when he was disturbed in the middle of the night, because he was also very worried about Yuan Xi.

At this time, Tang Du realized that he was out of control, calmed down for two or three seconds, first apologized to the instructor, and then asked, "Can I see Yuan Xi's painting?"

The instructor said regretfully: "After Yuan Xi handed it over to me, in order to ensure the safety of the painting, I immediately handed it over to the curator of the art exhibition. I only know the specific content of his painting."

Next, the instructor described some things in Yuan Xi's paintings to Tang Du in very simple language, and deeply considered Tang Du's ardent hope for his children as a parent, and praised Yuan Xi as a 21-year-old The talent and hard work of the students of the Academy of Fine Arts.

Hearing those words, Tang Du didn't feel happy at all, he ended the call perfunctorily, and only recovered after the cigarette butt burned his fingertips.

He simply took a shower, stood at the door of the room and watched the raised hill on the bed move, and knew that Yuan Xi was not asleep yet.

Tang Du got on the bed and hugged him, using a lot of strength, Yuan Xi struggled uncomfortably, but was pushed back by Tang Du.

"Yuanxi, you are a fool, I can't give you what you want? Why do you have to treat yourself like this, do you think I will be happy? Or do you think I can bear to fuck my skeleton every day?"

Tang Du breathed heavily and his voice was hoarse, which made Yuan Xi really feel his anger, and he didn't even care about being hugged too tightly, he wrapped his arms around his waist in a panic and buried himself in his chest.

He regretted that Tang Du always didn't understand him, but it was a pity that Yuan Xi, as a person who knew that he loved Tang Du, couldn't understand Tang Du either.

He listened in confusion as Tang Du apologized after a while, patted him on the back to let him sleep well, his tone was almost begging.

Yuan Xi made Tang Du a person who was not Tang Du, he was guilty.

When he woke up the next day, Yuan Xi was half lying in Tang Du's arms. He was leaning against the head of the bed and using a laptop to handle his work. On the screen was the summary report sent by his subordinates for more than a month in the United States.Yuan Xi opened his eyes, but didn't move. He stared at the words on the screen in a daze, wondering why Tang Du wasn't dazzled.

Tang Du kept holding his hand, with his thumb resting on the ring of his index finger, making Yuan Xi take advantage of his sleepless thoughts in the morning to wonder if Tang Du liked his tail ring very much, but he was actually reluctant to give it to herself.

Tang Du had already discovered that Yuan Xi was awake. When he fell asleep, he would maintain a relatively stable breathing rate, with his head resting on his shoulder, like a small animal.

"Do you understand?" Tang Du asked suddenly, his chest trembled slightly, causing Yuan Xi's body to shudder.

Yuan Xi shook his head honestly, and Tang Du pointed to a line of words: It took five hours to negotiate with M Group.

"That's called inefficiency."

He also pointed out that due to the lack of people who understand Chinese culture in the other party's team, there is a problem with the value output of the product.

"It's called dumping the pot."

Yuan Xi smiled lightly, his shoulders trembled, and was patted by Tang Du.

Tang Du took his hand and tapped his chest, "This is called raising a bunch of trash."

Yuan Xi knew that Tang Du was talking about his subordinates, but soon he also thought of himself, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Tang Du scratched his nose and casually said, "When are you free? I called a doctor."

Yuan Xi was startled for a moment, then sat up and looked at Tang Du.

Tang Du still stared at the screen, "You can't refuse."

Yuan Xi lowered his head in frustration, slowly moved to the bed and went down into the bathroom.

While brushing his teeth, Yuan Xi deliberately raised his head to look at himself in the mirror.

He has really changed, even changing his hairstyle can't hide his poor spirits.Yuan Xi fumbled a toothbrush into his mouth indiscriminately, wondering what to do if he fell ill, whether Tang Du would dislike him because of this, thought he was too much trouble, and then he would be abandoned.

The head of the hard toothbrush reached the palate, Yuan Xi recovered from the pain, and there was Tang Du's figure in the mirror. He took Yuan Xi's hand and pulled out the toothbrush, and handed the water glass beside him to the bent body Yuanxi.

"Can you even hurt yourself by brushing your teeth?" Tang Du said helplessly.

Because the toothpaste stayed in the mouth for too long, it irritated the throat and made Yuan Xi's eyes turn red.

He quickly rinsed his mouth, wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, and stood in front of Tang Du with his head bowed.

Tang Du didn't say anything else, leaned over and kissed him, and took him by the shoulders to take him to breakfast.

He didn't blame Yuan Xi for not being serious anymore, because Tang Du thought of the first time he saw Yuan Xi in this house, he was also brushing his teeth.

The slender waist at the hem of the pajamas was looming, and the bare ankles were also attractive. Tang Du poured water on him behind him and forced him to spit it out, full of violent thoughts.Although Yuan Xi was also afraid of him at that time, he didn't feel as if he was wrong in everything and everything was wrong like he is now.

For the first 10 minutes of breakfast, Tang Du didn't even touch a fork, and sat beside Yuan Xi with his arms folded, watching him eat.

Tang Du's aura was very strong, Yuan Xi didn't dare to raise his head, and kept trying to eat what was on the plate.

I don't know if it was because he ate too much, and it was the same situation last night. After drinking the milk, Yuan Xi felt nauseous. He covered his mouth and retched a few times. When Tang Du came over, he ran into the bathroom and locked the door.

Yuan Xi lay on the toilet and vomited out his breakfast, still suffering from stomach cramps.Tang Du knocked on the door loudly, but Yuan Xi ignored it.

After a while he got better, and Tang Du seemed to have given up on letting him open the door.After Yuan Xi cleaned up, he leaned against the wall of the bathroom to support himself, his legs were soft and numb.

Then the sound of the keychain came from outside the door, and Yuan Xi panicked instantly. He glanced at himself in the mirror, and the door was pushed open before he could see Tang Du.Tang Du threw the key on the sink, making a series of metallic sounds.

"Yuanxi, are you trying to piss me off?"

Yuan Xi saw that Tang Du's eyes were red, maybe he was anxious, maybe he was just angry.

He didn't know what to do, and Tang Du pulled him into his arms with his toes curled up.

He wanted to ask Tang Du if I was really sick.

Because Tang Du's words are always correct, Yuan Xi will trust the answers he gives.

Tang Du put his hand on his lower abdomen and rubbed it, and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Yuan Xi nodded slightly.

Tang Du said, "Go to the hospital first."

He wanted to hug Yuan Xi, but Yuan Xi hid him so badly that Tang Du grabbed his forearm impatiently and pulled him over, picked up the crook of his leg and hugged him horizontally, "Are you afraid of this? Isn't it just to have a child at most, I can't afford it anymore?"
