honey has fallen

After finishing the project for this quarter, Yan Yihua slept until the afternoon when she was woken up by a timid knock on the door, her brows were furrowed together, and she could tell by instinct that this person was not Xie Zhou.His voice was low and hoarse just after waking up, he squeezed the space between his brows twice and sat up, his forearm muscles between the cuffs of his rolled up shirt were tensely propped on the table. "Come in."

The female staff member pushed the door open, acting cautiously as if afraid of crushing the office glass door, and closed it without making any sound.

"Boss Yan." The young female employee stood stiffly on the spot, saw that his brows were frowning, and her voice became even more timid. She didn't even dare to raise her head and said, "Assistant Xie, he's not feeling well. He's taking sick leave this afternoon... let me tell you Just say it." When faced with the difficult customer service, the staff members were not as shy and powerless as they are at this moment, and their voices were timid and they didn't even dare to let out a breath.

After hearing what she said, Yan Yihua frowned again. This action made the already deep eye sockets even more gloomy, and even his gaze was as sharp as a knife. "I'm his boss, why didn't he just tell me if he wanted to ask for leave." A female employee was also used to pass the message.

"I, I... I don't know, that's what Assistant Xie said." The female staff member almost dropped golden beans in his dissatisfied tone, and the stiff high-heeled shoes under her feet became soft, as if she was slipping off. It will be empty in a moment.

Yan Yihua waved his hand outwards, sending her away before she could cry. "I see."

Xie Zhou is sick.

Yan Yihua let out a sigh of relief and leaned back on the chair, staring at the smoky gray ribbed ceiling above with her dark eyes, there was an indescribable meaning in her eyes.

Lowering his head, his eyes accidentally glanced at the mobile phone in front of the table, and then he remembered what he had done before he fell asleep. After sliding the screen to unlock, he saw the "rejection" message from Tang Yun first.

The corners of his eyes were pressed down by millimeters, and he swept away expressionlessly. The tone of this big-tailed wolf is really familiar and hateful, after all, the two have been brothers for 20 years.Slowly tap three words on the screen with your fingertips.

dislike

After pressing send, you will see a red exclamation mark directly.

Yan Yihua: "..." Unexpected but also reasonable, he put down the phone and let out a cold laugh from his tightly pursed lips.

After a while, he picked up the phone again and opened the interface to send a message to Xie Zhou.

【What’s wrong with you? 】

The relationship between Yan Yihua and Xie Zhou has always been difficult for him to grasp. They say it is an employment transaction relationship or a lover, but it has nothing to do with feelings.In fact, in Yan Yihua's mind, he has always held on to the third possibility - a lover.

But this direction is something that Xie Zhoudu is unwilling to develop and touch. He will always clearly let Yan Yihua realize that his responsibility in his relationship lies and that he is neither indebted nor owed.

Sometimes Yan Yihua wonders if he has saved enough money, or if Xie Zhou's mother no longer needs high medical expenses to maintain her life.On that day, he would smile and dissolve the relationship between the two of them. From now on, he would marry a wife and have children to live the life that a normal person should have, and he would never have anything to do with him again.

After Yan Yihua sent it, he waited for a long time but did not receive a reply, and his heart was keenly filled with doubts and uneasiness.In the past, even in the middle of the night, Xie Zhou would not let him wait too long.

Out of the bustling commercial metropolis, in the outskirts of T City, not far from the highway, there is a stretch of backward housing estates. There are no neon lights here, and the only lights on the road are tungsten bulbs with unstable voltage and flickering. The two-meter-high top of the head will collapse with the heat of the day, and people can reach it with their hands.

There are a few mobile snack carts parked in front of almost every house here, such as pancakes, egg-filled pancakes, and tenderloin sandwiches. The yellow signs on the red advertising cloth are pulled on the roof, and the smoky fire accumulated over the years Liaozhong was half covered with pitch black oil.Although this group of people also have urban household registration, they are out of tune with this bustling city. They live at the bottom of the bustling bottom, in a place where the big champagne and wine bosses in the building will not pass by, looking up at the neat and clean suits. The white-collar workers live their lives peacefully.

In summer, the dining car at the door attracts flies, and the children in singlets run wildly in front of and behind the house. The sweat flows down their foreheads without feeling hot. The scorching sun tans the skin of these children into two. The color, where the clothes can cover is still normal white, while the places that have been exposed to the sun are bronze, and the ear tips are curled, and the parents pressed and smeared layers of pungent ointment.

In the evening, the ground was sultry after being baked all day, and the cement floor on the street was hot.

Xie Zhou was lying on the bed, and an old three-leaf fan was hanging from the ceiling in the center of the room, whistling and spinning feebly, but the wind blowing out was hot.

He started to have a fever at noon today, and he lay on the bed after returning from leave. The small house less than [-] square meters was dark and stuffy. After taking the medicine, he was so exhausted and uncomfortable that he couldn't sleep, and his mind was always foggy.The mobile phone on the old bedside cabinet reminded him, he didn't even look at it, turned over, rolled up the half-old blanket on the bed and curled up against the wall, like a cat abandoned in the corner by the world.

On the wall more than one meter away from the bed, there was a medium-sized aluminum alloy screen window, and the sound of the children playing intermittently came in through the open window.

"Fang Zi and you are a dead child, and you are driving your sister crazy! Look at this little face, I will beat you to death tonight!" The middle-aged woman yelled and cursed from outside the window.Not far away, the little boy talked back.

"She insisted on following, and she didn't blame me!"

"You're still reasonable, I asked you to watch my sister at home, what do you think of her! The sun is like this, don't run away, come here!"

The road in the middle of the village is very narrow, and the tall elm trees on both sides are lack of pruning and grow wildly towards the middle of the road. They cover the road and block the vehicles. The piles were covered with torn plastic sheeting.On the outskirts of the city, there is no one to control the illegal occupation of roads.

Yan Yihua parked the car next to Xie Zhou's car at the entrance of the village, got out of the car with a frown, and looked at the densely connected edge of the city that he had never been before.

This is the first time he has come to Xie Zhou's "home", and he vaguely heard him talk about the not-so-good place before, but he didn't expect it to be this scene.

A group of white-haired old men in their 70s and [-]s were sitting in the shade of the trees at the entrance of the village, shaking cattail fans to enjoy the cool air. From the moment the front of the car came out, they turned their heads sideways to look at the tall and straight man who got off the car.She was wearing a suit and her leather shoes were shiny with oil. At first glance, she didn't belong to this place.

Yan Yihua took two steps towards the village amidst many searching eyes. A woman ran after a madly running child and ran out from the left alley. On the straight thighs, the buttocks were bounced out and squatted on the ground, which was pretty solid, but hey, he didn't cry after rubbing the dirt-stained buttocks twice.

The kid named Fang Zitong looked up and saw a serious uncle in a neat black suit and tie. He instinctively thought of those underworld bosses in gangster movies, got up all of a sudden, and took two steps back in fear.

"Fang Zi and you run away!" However, the fierce mother was already in front of her eyes.

There was a terrible uncle in the front and a grumpy mother in the back. Fang Zitong immediately spread his feet and ran towards the neighbors, slamming the door with his tanned little arms, crying ghosts and howling. "Brother Zhou save me, Brother Zhou save me, my mother is going to kill me!"

"You son of a bitch!" Fang Zi and his mother chased after him, seeing the stranger's footsteps slowing down.Yan Yihua stood in place with a glamorous body and straight, with the leadership temperament of the superior over the years condensed in every inch of her body, suddenly out of place in this disgraced world.Fang Zi and his mother glanced up and down vigilantly. The shrewdness and toughness of small business all year round were displayed on their faces at the same time.

Yan Yihua saw that she was holding the broom pimple with her oily hand, her lips were pursed, her handsome brows slowly clustered together.No one knows what he is thinking in his heart at the moment.
