After the dinner rush, Ji Xiuyu ate some casually, and then drove to Jiang Yifan's house as usual to feed his four ornamental fish.

Jiang Yifan has been away for five days and will be back in two days.In the past five days, Ji Xiuyu reported at his home every day, and texted and called once every three days. This level of boredom made Jiang Yifan a little overwhelmed.Then after Ji Xiuyu said that he originally wanted to send him 24 text messages 48 hours a day, Jiang Yifan silently compromised.

In the few days when Jiang Yifan was away, Ji Xiuyu basically stayed at his house.Therefore, Jiang Yifan's home has recently added a lot of new things, such as the toaster and coffee machine that he has never used, and some home projectors.

After Ji Xiuyu finished feeding the fish, he sent a text message to Jiang Yifan, asking him if he had eaten and how his physical expansion was today.After sending the text message, he put his phone on the coffee table, then went to the kitchen to make himself a cup of coffee.

Holding a hot cup of coffee, Ji Xiuyu sat on the sofa, turned on his phone and glanced at it. Jiang Yifan hadn't replied to his text message, so he turned on the TV, and changed channels boringly while having coffee.

Suddenly, the phone rang with a vibrating sound.Ji Xiuyu, who was seriously watching the food program, was so frightened by his too loud bell that his hands trembled, so he spilled more than half of the coffee in his hand, staining his pants and the sofa cover of Jiang Yifan's house.

Ji Xiuyu quickly put down the cup, took out a few facial tissues to blot up the coffee stains, and connected the phone.

As soon as the phone was connected, Jiang Yifan asked curiously, "Master, what are you doing?" Because Ji Xiuyu usually answered the phone in only one second, but this time it was much slower.

Ji Xiuyu looked at the coffee marks that could not be wiped off so easily, and sighed deeply, "Little Fanfan..."

"Huh?" Jiang Yifan was affected by Ji Xiuyu's tone, and became nervous, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Ji Xiuyu looked at the obvious coffee stains on the milky white sofa cover with small fresh patterns, and asked tangledly, "How about changing your sofa cover?"

"Ah?" Jiang Yifan was puzzled, why did the topic jump here, but he still replied, "Are you unhappy with my sofa cover? My mother picked that one, and she threatened me to take good care of it back then." .What's the matter?"

"So it was chosen by my mother-in-law..." Ji Xiuyu muttered in a low voice, this is going to be difficult.

Jiang Yifan didn't hear what Ji Xiuyu said, and asked curiously, "Master, what are you talking about? What's wrong with the sofa cover?"

"No." Ji Xiuyu immediately vetoed it, and then lifted the sofa cover with his hands, while changing the subject, "Why did you take the initiative to call me today? Have you had dinner yet?"

"After eating, let's say that we can finish with two more projects tomorrow. There will be a party tomorrow night. The day after tomorrow, we can sleep until we wake up naturally. After we go back, we will directly celebrate National Day. Although it is only three days, it is not bad. By the way, let me tell you, we actually went rock climbing today, it was scary!"

Jiang Yifan lay on the bed, comfortable with his tired body, closed his eyes and talked to Ji Xiuyu about today's projects and interesting things that happened.And Ji Xiuyu clamped the phone around his neck, and was scrubbing away the coffee stains with both hands.

Ji Xiuyu listened to Jiang Yifan's voice getting lower and lower while washing, and smiled speechlessly, knowing that there was no Jiang Yifan's voice on the other end of the phone, only the slight breathing with noise coming through the electric current Voice.

Ji Xiuyu stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands casually, picked up the phone on his shoulder, and said softly to the microphone, "Good night, dear."

After hanging up the phone, Ji Xiuyu began to clean the sofa cover with all his heart, maybe because of the timely cleaning, the stains were finally cleaned off successfully.Looking at the sofa cover in the basin, Ji Xiuyu thought for a while, then went to the living room to pick off the remaining pieces, and then put the first piece into the washing machine, planning to wash it together.

Just when Ji Xiuyu was thinking, or else he would take a shower, the doorbell suddenly rang.After being stunned for a while, Ji Xiuyu went to open the door anyway.

As soon as the door was opened, the expressions of the two people inside and outside the door were very calm, and they were not so surprised.

During the time Ji Xiuyu knew Jiang Yifan, he was also very clear about his friendship, and besides Lin Zezhao who lived downstairs, Yao Li was the only one who came to him at this time.However, Yao Li seldom goes out casually recently because of her pregnancy, let alone at night.Then the only thing left is Lin Zezhao who hasn't seen each other for a long time.

Lin Zezhao stood outside the door, looking at Ji Xiuyu, the guess in his heart was confirmed, with a bit of bitterness in his calmness, he no longer had the right to freely enter and leave this room.

Ji Xiuyu stepped aside, "Come in and sit down, you probably have something to say."

Lin Zezhao did not refute, nodded, and stepped into the house he was familiar with for the first time as a guest.

When changing slippers, Lin Zezhao found that apart from the layout, this room seemed to make him feel more and more strange. Except for those big or small changes, the bigger change was that a person lived here, and this person But not him.

Ji Xiuyu brought out another cup of coffee from the kitchen, "Is coffee okay? Or do you want tea?"

Lin Zezhao took the quilt and smiled politely, "No need, coffee is fine."

Lin Zezhao was sitting on the single sofa near the door, just facing the tank of ornamental fish in Jiang Yifan's house.

"Did they eat it?"

"Huh?" Ji Xiuyu was puzzled, and then followed Lin Zezhao's gaze to realize that he was asking about those fish.

"have eaten."

"Really." Lin Zezhao looked away, looked at the coffee in his hand, and said softly, "Before, when Xiao Fan was going on a business trip or returning home, he always asked me to help him feed the fish."

Sitting on the sofa, Ji Xiuyu didn't know what to say for a while, so he took a sip of his cold cup of coffee, and then frowned—it was too bad to drink.

Lin Zezhao lowered his head and continued, "Before, I thought I was the closest person to him, but later I realized that I was still so far away from him, because he always wanted to get close to me, but I kept creating a distance." .So, now that I have come to this point, it is my own fault."

"..." Ji Xiuyu remained silent. It seems that the other party is planning to find a "listener" today?

"You..." Lin Zezhao clenched the quilt in his hand, "You are together." It was not a question, but an affirmative sentence.

Ji Xiuyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, he didn't want to hide this matter, and he couldn't hide it either.

Lin Zezhao couldn't tell what mood he was in, he twitched the corner of his mouth bitterly, didn't he ask the question knowingly?Didn't you see the interaction between the two clearly that day?

"You..." Ji Xiuyu scratched his hair, not knowing what he was going to say, sympathizing with the other party?Or comfort each other?

"I can't do it to bless you..." Lin Zezhao raised his head and said suddenly, facing Ji Xiuyu's surprised expression, he said helplessly, "I can't do it now, I can't really bless you all now."

"It's said that people love to be cheap, and they finally like to wait until they lose it before they know how to regret and cherish it." Lin Zezhao said, "And you still have to wait until you experience it yourself to fully understand this sentence."

"Now I deeply regret it, but I don't want to destroy Xiaofan's happiness, but I can't wish you well against my will."

Lin Zezhao looked at Ji Xiuyu seriously and said, "I know that you are much, much better than me, and you may be more suitable for him than me, and bring him more happiness, so I will work hard to be able to treat Ji Xiuyu sincerely one day in the future. Say my blessings."

"Of course...if you were still together at that time."

"Yes." Ji Xiuyu smiled and looked back at the other party firmly, "We will wait until that day, I believe."

Lin Zezhao was stunned for a moment, and then showed a reassuring smile, "I look forward to that day."

Ji Xiuyu nodded silently, the two men who didn't meet too much and were supposed to be enemies made some kind of agreement at this moment.

"I'm going to America the day after tomorrow..."

"Huh?" Ji Xiuyu was surprised, "What are you going to do? Could it be for..." He didn't say the following words.

Lin Zezhao smiled indifferently, and continued the rest of the words for him, "You think I said I was trying to escape? To be honest, there is also a reason for this, but I originally planned to go there for a year or so to study. But now the plan is ahead of schedule.”

"You were right last time. I'm too indecisive when it comes to dealing with feelings. With this kind of half-hearted feeling, I can't take up the responsibility of a family, and I'm not worthy of giving a woman the happiness she wants. So I and She broke off the engagement..."

Lin Zezhao thought that this should be the best thing he did. Maybe it hurt the other party, but it was much better than knowing the truth after getting married.During this period of time, he often wondered, if he could face his feelings well and respond to Jiang Yifan's feelings well, would the situation of the two of them be different now.

However, the most powerless thing in this world is "if", because "if" does not exist.

Before leaving, Lin Zezhao handed Ji Xiuyu a letter, "I have already returned the room downstairs, and I don't know how to face him now, so I came to you at this time."

Lin Zezhao took a deep breath, patted Ji Xiuyu's shoulder, pretended to be relaxed and smiled, "Please allow me, as a senior, to entrust my most important junior to you, please."

"I will, and you take care too."

"See you."

"Goodbye."

Watching the elevator doors close, Ji Xiuyu felt inexplicably complicated.This seemingly love affair that I took advantage of, seems to have no obstacles so far.He thought, if he hadn't met Lin Zezhao in this situation, maybe they would have become friends.

As Jiang Yifan said, Lin Zezhao is a gentle, capable and steady person.For work friends, he can show his independent side, but for relationships, he may still be stuck in the failed love at the beginning, so he becomes timid and afraid to move forward.

Everyone is responsible for the decisions they make, whether the outcome is good or bad.Everyone has no way to decide his life for others, because only when he walks his own path can he know what he will meet.

Although the unknown makes people confused and afraid, it also makes people look forward to it.

*************************

Somewhere in the airport lobby, Jiang Yifan and his colleagues were carrying their luggage, waiting for their editor-in-chief to give a final speech.

"Comrades, the expansion of our physical fitness to this moment is truly over!"

Everyone cheered and applauded when they heard the words, with relaxed smiles on their faces.

The editor-in-chief pressed his hands down, and after everyone quieted down, he continued, "Later, if someone comes to pick you up, go straight away, if not, go with the company's car. The next three days are the National Day holiday, I hope you go back After that, take a good rest, and then I want to see your different mental outlook on the day of work, can you do it?"

Everyone said in unison, "It can be done!"

"Very good! Then we will disband now!"

After the words of the editor-in-chief fell, the colleagues who had already come to pick them up greeted everyone and said goodbye. After Jiang Yifan also said "goodbye" to the editor-in-chief, he rushed out of the hall with his luggage on his back, and then it was easy in the parking area outside. Immediately found Ji Xiuyu who was beckoning to him.

Jiang Yifan rushed to Ji Xiuyu happily, "Didn't you say you don't come to pick it up? Why are you still here?" Although it was a complaint, it could be seen how happy Jiang Yifan was.

Ji Xiuyu smiled, did not answer this question, but looked at the person from the beginning to the end, and after feasting his eyes, he said with a smile, "It's a lot darker!"

Jiang Yifan looked down at his skin, which was paler than before and now a little wheat-colored, and smiled with satisfaction, "Don't you think I'm more handsome now? And my muscles are stronger!"

"Really?" Ji Xiuyu opened the car door and let Jiang Yifan sit in. He walked around to the other side and sat in the driver's seat. He asked while starting the car, "How is your physical fitness?"

"Physical fitness?" Jiang Yifan thought carefully and returned, "It must be much better than before. I think I can climb more than [-] flights of stairs without any problem!"

"Really?" Ji Xiuyu smiled meaningfully, "That's good."

"What would be good?" Jiang Yifan asked.

"I mean, it's a good thing."

Jiang Yifan nodded, agreeing very much, "It is indeed a good thing to have good physical fitness, and cold viruses will not come to you too often in the future."

Ji Xiuyu laughed but said nothing when he heard the words, looked at Jiang Yifan with closed eyes and rested his mind, and then drove seriously.

Because it was close to noon, Ji Xiuyu took Jiang Yifan to have lunch before taking him home.

After returning home and resting for a while, Ji Xiuyu asked Jiang Yifan to take a bath and then go to have a good sleep.

Jiang Yifan did not refuse. Every time when physical fitness expands, what everyone hopes most is to lie on a comfortable bed in a cold room with the air conditioner on, and have a good sleep on the water.

When Jiang Yifan was lying on the bed, Ji Xiuyu drew the blackout curtains and turned on the night light by the bed for him.

"I put a glass of water for you here, if you are thirsty, drink some yourself."

Both mentally and physically, after returning to a familiar place, I relax.Jiang Yifan found out that the sheets and quilts had already been changed, and the air conditioner should have been taken out to bask in the sun, because he could smell the sun.

Lying on the familiar bed, the drowsy Jiang Yifan suddenly grabbed Ji Xiuyu who was about to leave, "Don't you need a lunch break?"

Ji Xiuyu froze for a moment, then smiled.

Bending down in front of Jiang Yifan, Ji Xiuyu smiled playfully, "Xiao Fanfan, are you inviting me?"

"Ahem..." Jiang Yifan, who realized what he said just now, felt uncomfortably hot, "You're unlikely to get it wrong! I didn't tell you to sleep here!"

Ji Xiuyu looked down at his wrist being held by someone, and said with a smirk, "But you held me."

Hearing this, Jiang Yifan immediately let go of his hand, as if he had been scalded by something.

Looking at his embarrassed expression, Ji Xiuyu couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed the other person's lips gently.Rubbing the top of Jiang Yifan's head, looking at his staring eyes, Ji Xiuyu smiled and said, "The eyes are so big, are you not sleepy anymore? You have a good rest, I have to go to the branch, I will come to see you later, I want to see you at night what to eat?"

Jiang Yifan grabbed the quilt and buried his face in it, and said in a muffled voice, "Whatever you want, my lord is going to sleep now, so stay where you are cooler."

"Pfft..." Ji Xiuyu chuckled lightly, patted the quilt, "Okay, I'll go now, don't suffocate yourself, or I'll be sad."

Jiang Yifan held his breath, listening to the bedroom door open and then close, and finally the door made two soft "clicks", and Ji Xiuyu's footsteps were completely inaudible.

Jiang Yifan poked his mouth out from under the quilt, breathing heavily, and kept beating the drum in the left atrium, making his ears burn from the noise.

Turning around and closing his eyes, Jiang Yifan grabbed Mao Mao beside him, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up...
