lightly cooked

Reunited with him again in an unexpected place, an office building.

Fu Jia herself didn't think of it, it should be said that she never thought of it.When he stepped into this well-known accounting firm in the industry today, he still felt drowsy, with two big dark circles under his eyes.

But despite this, many eyes were unconsciously attracted along the way.

Secretary Li, who showed him around, had seen countless people, but at the first sight of him, he also sighed in his heart, God is always unfair.Some people were born in Rome, and their family background and appearance are much better than others.

"Is there any coffee here?"

"There are some."

The secretary handed it over graciously: "It seems that you are not in good spirits, are you too tired from choosing a career recently?"

"Thanks, um, sort of."

In fact, since returning to China, I have been away from work all day long, and I haven't even submitted my resume at all.Because for him there is no need to look for a job, someone will come to his door and let him choose.

"The people from the fourth department of the industrial group are sitting on this floor. The glass room in the back is Mr. Liu's office. I will take you there in a while." The partner Mr. Liu and his father are brothers who grew up together.

"You go shopping first, if you want to know anything, just ask me."

"it is good."

During the lunch break, many people were still concentrating on their work, and the keyboards were crackling.Most of them look very serious and dull, wearing suits and leather shoes, and ties are also tied meticulously.

Holding the coffee, Fu Jia walked around for a while, and quickly came to a conclusion: the air here smells of pedantry, and all the people here only know how to work hard, looking like a bunch of idiots.If you stay in this kind of place for a long time, you will become stupid.

Just as he was about to find an excuse to say goodbye, when he turned around, he noticed a certain figure in the corner from the corner of his eye.

Like a snowflake TV that lost its signal, the brain suddenly went blank for a second.

That is……

Like a joke, but very real.That is Shuyuan, Xu Shuyuan.

So he works in this company?I didn't even know it at all.

After being startled for a while, Fu Jia excused himself in his heart, it's not that I don't care, it's just that the Queen Mother realized it.What's more, the United States is so far away that I can't hear his voice or receive his news. It's so far away that I have to change my old number and lose contact with all my college classmates.

In fact, in the past four years, it only takes a little time and a phone call to know his current situation.But Fu Jia never tried it because she didn't have the courage.

"Did you ever like me for a moment? I want an answer."

"Jiajia, I don't have a grandfather anymore."

Every time I think of the last two text messages, my heart feels like it has been scorched by a red-hot soldering iron, and my hands and feet are cramping in pain.He asked, how should I answer?Should I tell him that everything happened on my own whim, or tell him that I am going abroad soon, and I want to escape far away, to a place where he can't find him.

"Shuyuan, I saw your annual leave application."

A strange voice interrupted the memory.

Someone walked over to talk to Xu Shuyuan, probably his boss, because he stood up and turned his back to Fu Jia.

"Recently, there is really no manpower. How about stopping after the quarterly report?" The boss's expression was not sincerely sorry, and he patted his arm after speaking, as if he valued him, "This project is very important to our department. Deli, I wouldn’t worry about changing it to someone else!”

The answer is very vague, not as deep and clear as the voice text message back then.

But he was still the same, standing tall and straight, with broad shoulders and straight back, but he couldn't see his face.But Fu Jia didn't need to look with his eyes at all, he was fully aware of his expression at the moment.

He must have his own thoughts in his heart, his face was expressionless, but the corners of his mouth were slightly tense, just like when he was slandered by those people at school.

It's so strange, obviously we rarely saw each other back then, but his appearance, his silent and reserved demeanor, are branded in my heart like a scar.

Xu Shuyuan, who is well-known in the Department of Finance and Economics, spends all day in the library, walking alone and not getting along with others.But he would also stop and smile faintly at his phone when he received a text message from someone.

All these years, Fu Jia has been thinking, what should I say to him on the day of reunion?To say "sorry" or something...

never mind.Things have changed, so why worry in vain.

Just walk away like last time.

Before he had time to think about it, Fu Jia hurriedly took the things, not intending to inform anyone.Unexpectedly, Xu Shuyuan also stood up and strode towards him.

Fu Jia's body stiffened suddenly, his feet seemed to be frozen.

The footsteps were getting closer, and a voice he hadn't heard for many years said to him, "Excuse me."

It turned out that the position where I was standing was blocking the road.

He lowered his head and stepped aside, just passing by.

Seeing the back of the person walking into the printing room, Fu Jia was stunned for a while, and finally turned around silently.A person came head-on on the road, and after a casual glance, his feet suddenly stopped.

"Fu Jia?"

I should have thought of it a long time ago, Linjiang is so big, where can the students go after graduation?

It was a mistake to be here today.

Zongli raised his head for a moment, and his old classmate Qiu Yue had already walked up to him, looking up and down: "It's really you, I thought I had misidentified the person."

"Long time no see." He tried his best to appear nonchalant, but unfortunately, his hands against the jeans still showed a little uneasiness.

"It's really been a long time..." Qiu Yue smiled playfully, folded his arms and looked at him, "I thought you would abscond for the rest of your life in fear of crime. Why, your conscience found out, and you came back to make an apology?"

"Who do I need to apologize to?" He turned his face sideways, with a somewhat conflicted expression, "It's just a normal return to China after finishing school."

"You are still the same, you haven't changed at all, you are still so hopeless." Qiu Yue said.

"Really? Thank you." He clenched his fingers and retorted, "You are getting old."

"you!"

Still wanted to say something more, but Qiu Yue raised his eyes: "Shu Yuan, look who is looking for you."

The person who was plausible just now was stunned for a moment.Fu Jia stood there quietly, not daring to move.

The sound of footsteps was delayed.

The surroundings were silent for a long time, until the air seemed to be stagnant, and a nostalgic voice came from behind: "Have you had lunch yet?"

Turning around in astonishment, that gaze did not fall on him.Xu Shu was originally asking Qiu Yue.

"I've eaten it long ago, why haven't you eaten it yet? Then you—"

"I'm going downstairs to get a sandwich, and you put the files on Mandy's desk for me."

He handed the printed document to Qiu Yue, and then returned to his work station to put on his coat, ignoring the people next to him the whole time.

For a moment, Qiu Yue didn't know what to do. He looked at Fu Jia who was frozen, and then at his friend who was expressionless, and stood there speechless.

It wasn't until he was about to walk into the elevator that Fu Jia chased him out.

"Shuyuan!"

"Xu Shuyuan!"

The familiar body was reflected on the shiny elevator door, his expression was as cold as ice, he stopped and turned around.

Looking at him so closely, Fu Jiade admits that he is quite different from before.

He is much sharper than before, with a thin and sharp outline, and a suit hides the restraint and ambition of a mature man.

Only between the eyebrows and eyes, I can vaguely see the shadow of the past.

"Your mobile phone." Fu Jia handed him the things he had forgotten on the desk, and Fu Jia's heart went blank.It's not that I hope to ease the relationship with him, I haven't thought about it like this, I just want to say a few more words to him.

"Thank you." The tone was polite and indifferent, and he turned around after speaking, as if unwilling to say another word to the person in front of him.

When the elevator came, Fu Jia tightened his scarf and walked in, lowering his head slightly and standing on his right side.

Social distance is not far or near.

"Just eat a sandwich at noon? There should be a seat at the Grand Hyatt next door. If you don't mind, how about we..."

There was no chance to say the following words, because many people came in halfway and squeezed in front of them airtightly.

The air in the elevator is thin.

Fu Jia pulled up the scarf to cover her delicate chin.Next to him, Xu Shuyuan kept his eyes closed, typing quickly on the phone screen with his slender fingers, with a silent and indifferent outline.

Arriving at the first floor, the people around came out one after another, and Fu Jia's palms were already sweating.

I don't understand why he has been refusing to talk to me, isn't he still angry?But things have passed for so long, there is nothing to let go of.

Anyway, they used to be very close back then... He would tell himself that he was a child picked up by his parents, he was closest to his grandpa, he only ate a vegetarian dish and a free bowl of soup at noon, and he wanted to change it I don't have any money for my mobile phone, and I'm still waiting for the school's scholarship for poor students to come out.

So many nights of saying good night to each other, time has passed, we reunited after a long absence, and we didn’t even have time to say hello to each other, not even a word of “you’re all right”, what is this?

Besides, I am not without guilt. I have dreamed of him all the time in the past four years, and I always say I am sorry in my dream.

When he was about to walk out of the lobby of the office building, he finally had a heartbreak and raised his hand.

Xu Shuyuan had to stop after his arm was pulled.He turned around without any ups and downs in his expression: "Is there anything else?"

Fu Jia's voice became hoarse unconsciously, and her voice was much softer than usual: "I'm Fu Jia, didn't you recognize me, why didn't you say hello to me?" He even smiled casually, " Could it be that you are still holding grudges, manly man..."

A few simple words quickly exhausted the accumulated courage.

"What did you say?"

As the distance drew closer, he could smell the faint pine scent on his body and see his Adam's apple.Fu Jia was stunned, and his heart trembled almost uncontrollably.

"I mean……"

"Sorry, but can you speak louder." Xu Shuyuan interrupted him, "I can't hear in my right ear now."
