"And then?" Fan Jiarong sat cross-legged on the sofa, holding a small half of a watermelon in his hands, looked at Zhou Luoluo curiously, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction when thinking of Xie Xinghe: "You accepted this cooperation?"

Zhou Luoluo was holding a mirror and kept opening his mouth to practice. Hearing Fan Jiarong's words, he turned his head and nodded, and then made a slight single sound with difficulty: "En."

Fan Jiarong keenly heard Zhou Luoluo's voice. He immediately sat up from the sofa and looked at his friend in surprise: "Did you talk just now?"

Zhou Luoluo nodded.

Fan Jiarong yelled excitedly, and then sent a message to Chu Ming excitedly.

Zhou Luoluo watched his friend think for a few seconds, then poked Fan Jiarong's arm and gestured in sign language:

[Sorry, I can't go on a trip with you. 】

Fan Jiarong was still immersed in the joy of Zhou Luoluo speaking, and didn't care about his friend's breaking the appointment: "It's okay, making money is more important. Let's make money first, and then we can play wherever we want."

Zhou Luoluo nodded.

"Then you accept the cooperation, did Xie Xinghe come to harass you?" Fan Jiarong asked.

Zhou Luoluo shook his head.

Regarding what Fan Jiarong said, Xie Xinghe did what he said and never appeared in front of Zhou Luoluo again.

Regarding this, Zhou Luoluo breathed a sigh of relief, he was already planning to start a new life, Xie Xinghe's non-interference was the best thing for him.

This is the second time for Zhou Luoluo to abandon the past and start a new life, which also means that it is more difficult to start a new life, and Zhou Luoluo needs double the courage.

But how can the days of being alone in the past compare with the life of being in love.

At the beginning, Zhou Luoluo had never received the care and love of others. He was lonely and numb. He would not leave a light in the living room to wait for his beloved lover at night, nor would he spend a lot of money to buy someone to please others. Luxury goods; after falling in love with Xie Xinghe, he has experienced love and learned how to love. The days before were tormented and boring, but with Xie Xinghe's company in love, every day is worth Zhou Luoluo looking forward to and reminiscing about.

Zhou Luoluo could not easily let go of these.

Even though Xie Xinghe had disappeared into her own life, Zhou Luoluo would still think of him uncontrollably, recalling those ordinary and warm days.

But Zhou Luoluo believes that it's just that everything is difficult at the beginning, and time can dilute everything. One day, he will be able to let go of Xie Xinghe and completely forget his feelings.

It's just that occasionally when I wake up in the middle of the night, I feel my chest is heavy and I can't breathe.

Seeing Zhou Luoluo's distraught expression, Fan Jiarong sighed softly, and raised his hand to touch Zhou Luoluo's head.

Since the breakup, Zhou Luoluo would occasionally have such empty eyes, staring forward blankly, as if thinking about something.

But even so, it was better than the initial slump.

Fan Jiarong was a little terrified when he thought of Zhou Luoluo's original appearance.

Fan Jiarong sat at Zhou Luoluo's house for a while and then left. As soon as he left, the room returned to its usual quietness.

Zhou Luoluo got up and turned on the TV, turned up the volume of the TV, and then sat back on the sofa again.

I don't know when it started, but he became a little unaccustomed to being quiet, and Zhou Luoluo started working while listening to the background noise of the noisy TV.

This time, we are cooperating with a large company, and Zhou Luoluo also needs to invest more time and energy in it. In order to reduce unnecessary losses, the two partners have established a work group, which is specially used to discuss various problems encountered in the work process. question.

Halfway through the painting, Zhou Luoluo stopped writing and opened the WeChat group:

[Painting Hand-Luo: Are you there? I want to ask about the clothing details of the main characters. ]

After a few minutes, there was no response from the group, Zhou Luoluo frowned, and just about to send a few more words, a message popped up in the chat window.

[Planning-Xie: They are in a meeting, are you in a hurry?Let me pass the file to you. ]

Seeing the familiar profile picture, Zhou Luoluo was stunned for a moment. Xie Xinghe had never sent a message, and Zhou Luoluo had never found out that Xie Xinghe was also in this group chat before.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to ignore Xie Xinghe's news.

The next second, the phone started vibrating.

Zhou Luoluo opened it and found that it was a document sent by Xie Xinghe.

After downloading the files in the group chat and saving them in the computer one by one, Zhou Luoluo found that there were more red numbers in the address book.

It was a friend request from Xie Xinghe.

[There are a few large files that cannot be uploaded, please send me QQ, and I will use QQ to send the files to you. ]

Zhou Luoluo looked at this line of words, his fingers stayed in the air, thinking about what he should do, after thinking for a while, he finally did nothing and continued to pretend nothing happened.

Xie Xinghe seemed to have sensed Zhou Luoluo's resistance, and he didn't insist after he didn't get a response.

After another hour, the replies from other staff members popped up in the group chat.

[Staff-A: Does Mr. Luo still need data? ]

Zhou Luoluo clicked to open the dialogue window.

[Painting hand-drop: Yes. ]

[Staff-A: Then I will use QQ to send it to you. ]

[Painting Hand-Luo: I'm in trouble. ]

After a while, he got all the data.

The group returned to its usual quietness again.

Xie Xinghe looked at the dialogue window, then clicked on his friend application, a bitterness welled up in his throat.

A colleague poked his head out from behind the computer: "Brother Xie, I have already sent it."

Xie Xinghe regained his senses and nodded: "Okay."

"Didn't you recommend Mr. Luo? Don't you guys know each other?" asked a colleague.

Xie Xinghe was silent for a while, didn't answer this question, only said: "I think his painting is not bad, so I recommend it."

Glancing at the time, Xie Xinghe put down the document in his hand: "Get off work, let's go."

After leaving the company, Xie Xinghe didn't go back to the apartment, but drove to a restaurant. He made an appointment to have dinner with those friends tonight. The main purpose was to meet Li Bo's date.

Xie Xinghe rushed to the restaurant, there were already two people sitting in the private room, at the moment Xi Xingwen and Gan Zixuan were sitting on the sofa chatting.

Xi Xingwen waved: "It's so early today."

"Come right after get off work."

Xie Xinghe looked around, but found no other figure, and asked, "Where's Li Bo?"

"Go pick up his partner."

Xie Xinghe nodded.

Xi Xingwen looked left and right, leaned close to Xie Xinghe, and said in a mysterious tone: "I heard that Li Bo's partner is older than us, have you heard him mention it?"

Xie Xinghe shook his head.

Xi Xingwen clicked his tongue: "Curious, but today I can finally see each other."

They were chatting, and Wang Lekang also rushed to the private room, and soon, he also joined the conversation with a broken mouth.

Xie Xinghe quietly listened to the conversations of his friends, and when he looked up, he found that their expressions were more or less full of novelty and exploration.

If it was in the past, Xie Xinghe would definitely not have any other feelings when facing this scene, but seeing it today, he felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

He wondered if the private room had the same scene as today when he brought Zhou Luoluo back.

"Galaxy."

Xie Xingwen's voice interrupted Xie Xinghe's thinking, he raised his head and looked at his friend: "What's wrong?"

Xi Xingwen's gaze rested on Xie Xinghe's hand for a few seconds.

Xie Xinghe followed his line of sight and looked down, only to realize that he was unconsciously playing with the ring again when he was in a trance.This is a little habit he has developed recently. He always strokes and turns the ring on his ring finger when he is thinking.

He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Your parents didn't ask? Your boss didn't ask? Isn't your subordinate curious?" Xi Xingwen asked, "Won't wearing a ring affect you?"

Xie Xinghe froze for a moment: "No."

Xi Xingwen wanted to say something, but the door of the private room was pushed open.

People in the room turned their heads to look.

Li Bo was seen walking in front, followed by a man half a head shorter than him.

After seeing the man behind Li Bo clearly, the expressions of several friends present had subtle changes. Xi Xingwen gave his lover a wink, while Wang Lekang looked at Li Bo with a complicated expression.

They only knew that Li Bo's partner was a bit older, but they never expected that the other party would be a middle-aged man in his 50s or [-]s.

Xie Xinghe didn't care about the other party's age, but was attracted by the middle-aged man's appearance.

He squinted his eyes, looking at each other without blinking.

Li Bo walked forward with his boyfriend, and introduced to his friends: "This is my lover, Zhou Huai."

"They are my boys." Li Bo turned his head and introduced Zhou Huai one by one. Finally, it was Xie Xinghe's turn. Zhou Huai's movements paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal. Obviously, he noticed Xie Xinghe's gaze. .

Wang Lekang bumped Xie Xinghe with his elbow, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice, "This is Li Bo's partner, don't be foolish."

Xie Xinghe came back to his senses, he was a little puzzled when he heard Wang Lekang's words, and looked at him suspiciously.

Seeing his friend's expression like this, Wang Lekang realized that he had misunderstood Xie Xinghe, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed a few times in embarrassment: "No, it's all right."

It's just that now Xie Xinghe has understood what he did just now, raised his eyebrows, and asked back: "You think I'm going to attack my friend's lover?"

He looked at Li Bo who was talking to Zhou Huai with his head down, chuckled lightly, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and said in a calm tone, "I just think he looks familiar."

Especially Zhou Huai's eyes, which were clearly middle-aged, but still moist and clear, with thick and slender eyelashes, somewhat similar to innocent and lovely deer eyes.

The moment he saw it clearly, Xie Xinghe suddenly had some hallucinations: "It's very similar to..."

"You won't say you look like Zhou Luoluo again?" Wang Lekang said in a low voice.

Xie Xinghe didn't speak.

Wang Lekang had nothing to say, and pulled him to his seat.

"It's a pleasure to meet you today." Zhou Huai had a smile on his face, his round eyes were bent into beautiful crescents, and his speech was gentle and soft, as if a spring breeze had passed by.

Looking at his smile, Xie Xinghe suddenly found that Zhou Huai also had a small dimple at the corner of his mouth, he was stunned for a moment, and did not respond for a long time.

When everyone noticed something was wrong with him, Wang Lekang smiled awkwardly, and explained to Zhou Huai: "Sorry, he's been too busy with work recently, and he's exhausted."

"I'll take him to sober up." After saying that, he pulled Xie Xinghe up and walked out of the private room.

When the two went outside, Wang Lekang looked at Xie Xinghe puzzled: "What's going on with you?"

Xie Xinghe said: "He and Zhou Luoluo... look alike."

Hearing this answer, Wang Lekang rolled his eyes: "Xie Xinghe, enough is enough, he is Li Bo's partner, not Zhou Luoluo."

"Besides, you and Zhou Luoluo have been separated for so long, why do you still miss him?"

The response to him was silence again, Xie Xinghe pursed his lips and said nothing.

The two stood silently for a while, Wang Lekang sighed helplessly, always felt that something was wrong with Xie Xinghe after they broke up.

"Let's go back."

Wang Lekang pushed open the door, turned his head and emphasized again: "Don't think about Zhou Luoluo anymore. If you have anything to do, you have to wait until the meal is over."

Xie Xinghe responded in a low voice, and followed behind Wang Lekang.

The two entered the private room again, only to find that there was one person missing in the room.

"Where is your partner?" Wang Lekang asked.

Li Bo replied: "He went to the bathroom."

Xi Xingwen joked: "Li Bo, you can, how old is your partner?"

"forty."

"Awesome." Wang Lekang gave a thumbs up: "How do you explain to your parents?"

Li Bo didn't speak, and took a sip of mulled wine.

Xie Xinghe heard his answer thoughtfully, and then asked: "Li Bo, do you have any relatives in your boyfriend's family?"

Li Bo shook his head: "I haven't heard him say that." He paused, and continued: "Zhou Huai never told me about his family."

As soon as the words were finished, Zhou Huai pushed the door open and entered, still with a gentle smile on his face, but when he looked at Xie Xinghe, his eyes stayed for a second, and then he returned to normal: "What are you talking about?"

Wang Lekang quickly waved his hands: "No, I'm just curious about how you guys met."

Zhou Huai sat next to Li Bo: "One-night stand."
