From Pokfulam to Central

Ever since he came back from Hong Kong, Qu Zhi didn't know if it was because he finally got his graduation certificate and completed all the procedures for becoming a full-time regular. The content of his work was indeed much richer than before. The role of assistant is gone, but what follows is more and more overtime.

At about ten o'clock that night, Qu Zhi finally finished all the work for the day, packed his things and prepared to go home.After entering the elevator, seeing Li Yan walking this way, Qu Zhi stretched out his hand to block the elevator door and waited for him.

Li Yan straightened his tie after stepping into the car, and then said very gentlemanly: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, Li Lu, which floor do you go to?" Qu Zhi's slender fingers hung in the air in front of the control button, "The basement?"

"No, I parked the car on the ground today." Li Yan glanced at the illuminated floor, "By the way, Qu Zhi, the workstation at the door of my office has already been cleaned up, you can move it these two days." Just come here."

The elevator door slowly closed in front of the two of them, and began to transport passengers down from the 56th floor.

Qu Zhi felt that Li Yan was a leader who took good care of his subordinates, even though he said nothing about his work. He was a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you Li Lu. Actually, although my current seat is a bit small, it doesn't bother me."

"Well," Li Yan glanced at Qu Zhi through the reflection of the elevator door, "Stop sitting with interns all the time when you become a full-time employee. Move it here to be closer to other colleagues, so it's convenient for you to work."

Qu Zhi nodded obediently, and the elevator stopped at the ground floor.

Li Yan stepped out of the car first. He had long legs and big strides. When he walked, his feet were windy. As he walked, he said to Qu Zhi who was following him: "It's getting late, let me drive you back. Where do you live?"

Qu Zhi only thought it was the leader being polite to him, so naturally he couldn't take it seriously, and sincerely declined, "No need for Li Lu, it's actually not too late today, I'll just go back by myself."

Li Yan stood still at the entrance of the office building, turned his head to look at Qu Zhi, and suddenly smiled, "I'm not joking. After all, you are working for me when you work overtime. As a boss, you should occasionally provide benefits."

Li Yan looks dignified, and he is approachable even when he is not stern, but Qu Zhi just thinks this smile is a bit strange, but he can't tell exactly what's wrong, "I really don't need Li Lu, you are quite tired after the day Yes, I'd better go back and rest earlier, and my house is nearby, so I can walk there."

"Is that so?" Li Yan didn't seem to want to say anything else about it, "Did you rent a house specially for work?"

"Well, yes, my family is not in the city, so I still have to rent a place nearby."

Li Yan nodded thoughtfully, then glanced at his watch again, "It's really not too late today, since your home is not far away, why don't you invite me up for a ride, I happen to have a bottle of red wine given by a friend in the car, I'm worried No one drinks."

This Qu Zhi really didn't expect it, for a moment he looked embarrassed, and didn't know what to say.

"Why," the smile on Li Yan's face deepened, "Is it inconvenient for someone at home?"

"No, no, I—" After subconsciously denying it, Qu Zhi suddenly felt that this seemed to be a train of thought, so he made a rough draft and said, "Then what, I share the rent with others, and I bring people to the door without saying hello, because I'm afraid that my roommate will not be happy. .”

Li Yan seemed a little disappointed. He raised his eyebrows and was about to continue talking when he heard someone call Qu Zhi's name not far away.Li Yan hated being interrupted when he was speaking, and when he turned his head to look, his eyes were already filled with dissatisfaction.

I saw that tall and burly man, just got out of the cab of a black Mercedes-Benz by the side of the road, and strode forward in a few strides.Looking back at Qu Zhi, I found that the emotion in his eyes had obviously changed.

"Qu Zhi," Zhou Mi had just vaguely overheard the conversation between him and the person next to him, and said casually, "I just got off work, and I thought I'd drop by to see if I could pick you up, unexpectedly, I actually met him."

Li Yan looked back and forth between the two of them for a few times, and asked tentatively, "Is this your roommate?"

From the second he heard Zhou Mi call out his name, Qu Zhi's mind went blank, so he didn't care about what Li Yan said at this moment.

Seeing this, Zhou Mi pulled a smirk at Li Yan that was uglier than crying, and replied for Qu Zhi: "Ah yes yes, I'm his roommate, you're here, and you just finished overtime? It's so late How about I give you a ride along the way?"

Li Yan knew that this person was in a hurry to take Qu Zhi away, so he couldn't say anything more, and said politely in a polite and hypocritical tone: "Thank you, no need, Qu Zhi, go back and rest early, don't leave tomorrow. be late."

After Li Yan left, Zhou Mi stuffed the silent Qu Zhi into the co-pilot's seat, and after fastening the seat belt for him, Zhou Mi started the car aimlessly.

"You worked overtime so late," Zhou Mi didn't know if he was being overwhelmed, he always felt that the person's eyes just now were wrong, "Your senior doesn't know how to send you off? Isn't he in the same place as you? gone?"

Qu Zhi was still angry with Zhou Mi, but after hearing this, he became even more angry, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't know how to pick it up, and finally pointed at the intersection ahead, and said coldly: "No need to send it off, there Just put me down."

"Don't you even ask me why I came back suddenly?" Zhou Mi's voice contained a trace of grievance, and he willfully and stubbornly drove the car past the place that Qu Zhi had just designated.

Seeing Zhou Mi soaring up the Fourth Ring Road on his own initiative, running farther and farther away from the correct direction, Qu Zhi suddenly had an unknown fire in his heart, and said straight to the face: "Zhou Mi, I have worked continuously for twelve hours today. I'm very tired, I just want to go home and take a nap now, just say what you want to say, can you stop—"

"I came out from home."

Qu Zhi was dumbfounded when he heard it, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally confirmed that he did not misunderstand the meaning of Zhou Mi's sentence. At the same time, he had already forgotten that he wanted to scold him when he said it.

Zhou Mi took a deep breath and seemed to regain some strength, and continued to speak: "My dad found out about us, and he forced me to break up with you. gone back."

There were not too many cars on the Fourth Ring Road in the middle of the night, Zhou Mi's speed was not slow, Qu Zhi watched him pass six or seven cars in a row, and then slowly said: "Why bother, we have nothing to do with each other... ..."

Zhou Mi tightened his hands on the steering wheel, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging and looked very tough, but when he spoke again, he had a weak and pleading tone, "Can you stop saying these words...

"Qu Zhi, I'm no longer a rich second generation. I'm an ordinary person like you now. I'm not even as good as you because I don't even have a job. So the so-called gap between us that you cared about before, Now it doesn't exist anymore, can you reconsider, do you still want me?"

The phrase "Do you want me or not" actually rarely appears in the discourse system of adults. On the contrary, it is more like a fragile and helpless child who is afraid of losing the protection of adults. Qu Zhi can't figure out why Zhou Mi is so humble.

Seeing that Qu Zhi remained silent, Zhou Mi felt as if he had understood something. He felt a dull pain in his chest but was helpless, so he could only pretend to laugh at himself and said dryly, "Cough, I forgot, you are already with Wen Zhong." , you even put on the ring with his name engraved on it, what am I still doing here...

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, so what, at least we can still be regarded as friends, can I be roommates with you for one more day, I really have no place to go, just take me in for one night, I promise Tomorrow—"

"This kind of thing," Qu Zhi interrupted suddenly, "shouldn't you ask the person engraved on my ring to agree?"

Zhou Mi lost his mind for a moment, if it wasn't for his relatively steady hand, he almost scraped the truck next to him.Thinking of Qu Zhi just telling that colleague that he doesn't live alone, Zhou Mi had a very bad guess, "You won't, you already live with him..."

Qu Zhi didn't know what was wrong with him, "Shouldn't we ask his permission first if we don't live together?"

Zhou Mi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that since Qu Zhi could say that, he should not have reached that level, and begged, "I'm just asking you to excuse me for a while, so why don't you tell him..."

Qu Zhi gave Zhou Mi a vague look, and asked back with reason: "If you were my boyfriend, would you be happy if I brought another man home privately?"

Zhou Mi seemed to have really thought about this question seriously, and then he replied aggrievedly: "If you really want to be with me, even if you only give me one day a week, I will be satisfied."

Qu Zhi had no choice but to withdraw his gaze from Zhou Mi, it was so stupid that it made people feel distressed.

The street lights on both sides of the elevated road were dim and warm. Qu Zhi pursed his lips hard, but he still couldn't resist the upturned corners of his mouth, the urge to heat his eyes and the involuntary trembling of his shoulders.

Zhou Mi nervously looked at Qu Zhi who seemed to be crying and laughing beside him, not knowing what was wrong with him, but saw him reach out for the necklace that was originally hidden in the shirt, and finally took it off.

Noticing that Qu Zhi seemed to have checked the alignment carefully before putting the ring on the top cover of the dashboard in front of him, Zhou Mi suddenly panicked, "What is this..."

He was going to cry stupidly, "Look for yourself."

Zhou Mi held the steering wheel with his left hand, hesitatingly stretched out his right hand and held the ring in front of his eyes.

The next second, the car stopped suddenly with a sudden brake. If it wasn't for wearing a seat belt, Qu Zhi might have hit the front windshield.The following cars honked their horns at the same time to express their dissatisfaction, and the sound was loud for a while.

"I'm so angry."

"What?"

"Why are you angry, I am angry, okay?"

"I like you so much, I told you that I don't like Wen Zhong anymore, you still don't believe me, and you still insist on pressing me on other men's heads, I—"

"Hey, no, why are you crying again? Why are you crying when you're such an adult?"

"I'm so angry at myself that I can't cry! I'm angry at myself for being so stupid!"
