"Have you brought any medicine?" Wu Qian asked.

Fu Jia shook her head, closed her eyes and leaned on the car seat, "I'm sorry, I'll take a break, you guys don't mind me talking about you."

"Okay. It's okay if you want to throw up."

There was no music in the earphones, and he sat quietly, bumping forward all the way.

The heart was heavy and stuffy, and the lungs were suffocating, but it had nothing to do with motion sickness.He knows what he gave up, and he gave up a person who likes him so much.

This once-in-a-lifetime luck was pushed away abruptly by myself.Thinking of those loquat leaves that were about to be thrown away, Fu Jia felt very depressed, and could no longer find the feeling of relief when breaking up.

As a result, the car suddenly stopped after driving for a long time, and Xu Shuyuan said that he wanted to go down to smoke.

There is a canteen on the side of the road, next to a small forest with thick leaves stacked on the ground.Xu Shuyuan walked far away, Fu Jia made an excuse to get some air to catch up with him, followed until the others could not hear him before calling him: "Shuyuan, can I have a few words with you?"

Xu Shuyuan paused: "What are you talking about?"

"I don't go on blind dates often..."

There will be a soft clicking sound when the fallen leaves are stepped on. Fu Jia took two steps closer and explained softly: "I only went there once, and it was arranged by my mother. I didn't know in advance."

Xu Shuyuan turned his back and smiled vaguely: "Tell me what these are for."

"Just pretend that I have nothing to say."

Fu Jia looked up at him, and found that his eyes were full of lethargy, his beard was not shaved enough, and he looked not in good spirits.My heart twitched like a spasm, and then I said the words of apology: "There is also the matter of the 3 yuan four years ago, I will compensate you for my dad, I'm sorry Shuyuan, my dad went too far. "

Xu Shuyuan's body was slightly stiff, and his eyes fell on a certain place not far away.He didn't ask Fu Jia how he knew, this kind of silence was actually another kind of torture, at least in Fu Jia's view.

Fu Jia's eyes drifted away, and he smiled with the corners of his mouth: "It seems that I'm always saying sorry to you, I'm really useless."

The wind was strong and the place was empty. Xu Shuyuan took out a cigarette and lit it several times but failed to light it, so he simply threw it away.Fu Jia felt that this was not good, so she leaned over to pick it up, and felt the residual temperature in her palm.

"We've already separated, so what's the matter?"

Fu Jia pursed her lips: "I know, I was just thinking that if I hadn't left four years ago, things would definitely be different from now."

"It's nothing different, it's just that sooner or later we separated." His voice was much colder, "If you really like to hypothesize, why not assume that you haven't returned to China in four years and we haven't met again."

Fu Jia's face turned pale suddenly, and she raised her eyes to stare at his face, but his face was expressionless, and it was impossible to tell whether the words were sincere or false.

"Don't we even have to be friends?"

"You should know my character, I won't do that kind of self-deception." Xu Shuyuan said, "Don't come to me again in the future."

He was referring to the time at the hotel, of course Fu Jia knew about it.Watching him turn and leave, Fu Jia couldn't say anything to keep him.

The two stood staggered one after the other, as if they were chatting from a distance.Deng Ziyi didn't find it strange, it was Wu Qian who felt something was wrong and asked, "Did the two of you know each other before?"

"Maybe we know each other. The office is only a little big. But I'm not familiar with it." Deng Ziyi asked, "What's wrong?"

Wu Qian slowly withdrew her gaze: "Why do I think they know each other very well? Look at the manager, he said he went to smoke, but he didn't smoke at all. Standing so far away is not afraid of us hearing."

"What are you thinking?" Deng Ziyi seemed to be listening to the Arabian Nights. "What secrets can the two of them have?"

After a while, Xu Shuyuan went back first, and Fu Jia came back after a while.The last one to get on the bus was Wu Qian. She returned from the grocery store with a full load, and handed two of the motion sickness pills to Fu Jia: "It's really for sale."

"Ok?"

She smiled, and when she was about to speak, Xu Shuyuan suddenly asked, "What time is the appointment at the restaurant?"

"Let me see..." She quickly swipe on the phone, "Five o'clock. Ah, hurry up, or it will be too late."

Back in the urban area, Deng Ziyi asked Fu Jia: "Would you like to eat barbecue with us? We are all a group of colleagues, and we all need to get in touch with each other."

Of course Fu Jia understood that the other party was just being polite: "I'm not going, you go, I still have something to do at home."

"Where do you live?"

"It's not far, just put me at the subway station."

The car stopped at the entrance of the subway, he went down, Wu Qian handed him the backpack: "Goodbye, let's make an appointment at the office."

"Well. Goodbye, see you later."

What is it like to meet again?I'm afraid it will only be worse than today.But thinking of seeing Xu Shuyuan again at work, I still feel a little warmth in my heart, can still adjust my emotions, and go back to that rented room contentedly.

What if Xu Shuyuan came back to take a look someday on a whim?Seeing that he was still there, he would at least understand a little bit.

Time flows away in such a loose gap, and the weather is getting hotter without paying attention.Fu Jia is used to living outside alone, even if she has to squeeze the subway in the morning, she is always late.

When I arrived at the company on Monday, more than half of the seats in the fourth department were vacant. Some people's vacations have already started, and some people will take turns to wait for the mid-term report to be released.As an idle force, Fu Jia stayed in the department to do odd jobs recently.

"Xiao Jiasun always calls you." The group secretary called him over.

He thought he had some serious work to do, but only after he went did he realize that it was tidying up the bookcases.In fact, children who are new to the firm have to do nothing more than the same thing: serve the boss well.Because Party A doesn't have the turn of the children to wait on it, it has its own manager to handle it.Now Fu Jia's mentality is stable, and he doesn't complain at all when doing these things.

Halfway through the arrangement, the boss assigned him to go to Mr. Duan to get a copy of the documents.He didn't want to go, but he didn't want the leader to think he was lazy.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the six departments, and Xu Shuyuan's place was empty.

It was a long time since I climbed the mountain that day, so I don't know what Xu Shuyuan was busy with.Fu Jia sighed faintly, went to Mr. Duan's office and knocked on the door.

Wenwen told him that the documents were taken away by Xu Shuyuan in the morning and asked him to ask.This is a business, in the final analysis should also ask, he is not hypocritical.

I called twice and couldn't get through, and I still couldn't see anyone when I walked to the work station.

After burying his head in the computer, Wang Songjian pointed him out: "Look for it yourself. The signed documents are usually in his drawer. Look through them yourself."

Ok.

The bottom layer of the drawer is bound reports, the second layer is stationery, and the top is——

"Fu Jia."

The sudden voice yelled at him, and the cabinet was slammed shut before he turned his head.Fu Jia withdrew her hand, turned her head to meet Xu Shuyuan's angry eyes: "What are you looking for here?"

"Manager Xu." Fu Jia got up awkwardly, "I'm here to get the statement from the management, Mr. Sun is in a hurry."

"Do you want to find me in a hurry?"

He had never spoken so harshly before, and Fu Jia was stunned for a moment, feeling overwhelmed with sadness: "I called you, but you didn't answer me so I turned it over. And I've been waiting for you here for a while , if you don’t believe me, you can ask Manager Wang.”

"Yes, he has waited." Seeing that something was wrong, Wang Songjian stood up and explained, "I asked him to read it. Don't be angry at the original book. It's not a big deal. Fu Jia and you too. The manager said you said a few words, why did you say yes?" Stubborn? Hurry up and apologize to Manager Xu."

"Manager Xu, aren't you—"

"Okay." Xu Shuyuan frowned and interrupted, motioning Fu Jia to stand away, "There's no need to apologize. If you want to find me in the future, remember to call someone else from your department. I can cooperate with others."

Colleagues around turned their heads and stared.Fu Jia was taken aback by the unrestrained reaction in his words, raised her lips with trembling eyes: "What do you mean by that?"

"Okay, okay Shuyuan, I've gone too far." Wang Songjian intervened.

Fu Jia stared at Xu Shuyuan fixedly, his eyes were slightly blurred.

Yes, they broke up, but are they enemies after breaking up?He really couldn't figure it out, or he was really not used to Xu Shuyuan like this now.

"Take it away, it's not an example."

Xu Shuyuan turned around and took out a document and handed it to him.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Fu Jia had no choice but to take it and leave with a blank face.

Seeing his back as he walked faster and faster, Wang Songjian hissed and frowned, criticizing: "It's not necessary, this will make more children unable to get off the stage. It's only the first year, so how can you know so many rules. Besides, you usually don't know everything. A person who doesn't care, did you eat gunpowder today?"

Xu Shuyuan's face was still not very bright, not only his heart, but also his stomach cavity felt a silent burning pain.He didn't want to get involved in anything related to Fu Jia, and didn't want to think about it any more.But Fu Jia just seemed unwilling to let him go, and refused to let him go until he was physically and mentally damaged.

Fu Jia was in a difficult mood all afternoon.

He knew that he was wrong in the morning, and Xu Shuyuan had reason to be angry.But Xu Shuyuan's reaction and what he said, he couldn't convince himself not to care.

After thinking about it, I edited a text message: "Shuyuan, can we talk? Tonight."

It's a pity that nothing came to light.

There has been no written communication between the two for more than a month. He doesn't know whether Xu Shuyuan still keeps his number, and he doesn't know whether Xu Shuyuan will return.

After listening to the whole incident, Pei Xiaoou said: "No matter who is right or wrong, it is really wrong to quarrel with a manager in public."

"He was the one who quarreled with me first." Fu Jia was very depressed, and her voice was a little hoarse, "Besides, I suddenly lost my temper, so I didn't think too much about it..."

"The two of you are still playing with your temper. Now it's not the same as before. You'd better pay attention."

He fell silent as if stabbed.

It's not the same as before, now Xu Shuyuan has no reason to tolerate himself unconditionally.Xu Shuyuan was the manager, and he was a subordinate, nothing more.

In the evening, several A1s went downstairs to eat together. The restaurant was quite crowded and they had to wait for a table.

Not long after, people from the sixth department also came.Pei Xiaoou greeted Xu Shuyuan, Xu Shuyuan looked over Fu Jia's face without any warmth.

They have a reservation and are led by the waiter to the lobby.When the people were far away, Xiaoou looked back and said, "Why do I feel that senior brother's complexion was not very good just now, he must be sick."

Fu Jia came back to her senses and shook her head: "Probably not, it's fine in the morning."

He looked fine this morning.

After finally waiting for a private room, everyone was so hungry that their chests stuck to their backs.Fu Jia didn't have an appetite, so he didn't order, got up and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.

The door opened, and Xu Shuyuan was about to leave after washing his hands, when the two almost ran into each other.After being stunned for a moment, Fu Jia hurriedly stopped: "Manager Xu."

"Ah."

Xu Shuyuan responded indifferently, and took out a tissue to wipe his hands.Fu Jia bit her lip: "Manager Xu, I'm sorry about what happened in the morning, I shouldn't have quarreled with you in front of everyone."

His back paused slightly.

Someone went out behind him, Xu Shuyuan and others left before saying, "Forget it."

Fu Jia raised her eyes and stared at him, her eyes were full of his reflection, and her tone was a little hesitant: "Also... I want to ask you, why didn't you let me go to you? Although we broke up, we are still colleagues after all. I I don’t want to get into too much trouble with you, can you—”

"No." Xu Shuyuan interrupted him.

Fu Jia's eyes narrowed slightly: "I haven't finished my sentence yet."

Xu Shuyuan wanted to leave, but was grabbed by his sleeve.He turned around, put his hand on his stomach, and said, "It's just the same thing as before. He didn't dare to tell his parents about the matter, but he wanted me to continue to treat you well. Fu Jia, you think me too stupid. If I did it once, will I do it a second time?"

"No!" Fu Jia snapped, "It's not this kind of book, I'm already talking to my parents, really! Just wait for me, I'll soon—"

"Haven't I waited long enough?" Xu Shuyuan frowned, "Four years and one year, how long do you think my life is? I told you long ago that I can't afford to waste it."

"I'm sorry..." Fu Jia spoke incoherently, "That's not what I meant, I was, I just want you to treat me better, just a little bit."

Is it a heinous crime to want to see you and talk to you?

Fu Jia couldn't figure it out, but after a moment of silence, he heard Xu Shuyuan's slightly gloomy voice: "Could it be that I was dumped by you, and I still have to face you with a pleasant face? I'm sorry that I'm not so magnanimous."

Dumped by me?

He looked up in astonishment.No, it's not like that.

"We broke up peacefully, didn't we? We didn't dump anyone, and we will still be friends when we meet again."

Friend... what a ridiculous word.

"I don't want to argue with you about this, it's pointless." Xu Shuyuan turned his body to the side, supporting the sink with his left hand, "Go, someone will come in here at any time."

Seeing that his face was pale and cold, as if he refused to say a word to him, Fu Jia had no choice but to turn around and leave.

Back in the private room, the dishes have been served one after another.Xiaoou asked him why he had been gone for so long, he was disheartened, and his internal organs were all twisted together: "I met Xu Shuyuan."

"What's the matter?" Xiaoou handed him the tableware.

"Let's talk about it later."

Before they could take the bowls and chopsticks apart, there was a sudden commotion outside the door, as if someone had fallen to the ground.Xiaoou turned around and looked through the crack of the door, only seeing a group of messy figures from behind.

"It seems that something happened outside." She asked, "Do you want to go and have a look?"

"Forget it." Fu Jia shook her head palely, "I'm not in the mood."
