Prohibition of losing contact

The destination of Pei You's business trip this time is in two southwestern provinces, mainly to cooperate with several local villages and towns to conduct risk inspection and internal control of their internal operating systems. It is not so much an audit, but a half-cooperation and half-teaching.

The work of cooperating with the official is always different from usual. The working habits of the partners are different from Pei You and the others, and the work efficiency is not the same. As a foreign working group, Pei You and the others need to cooperate more or less with the local Adjusting the pace of work according to the situation, so that I have to be on call all the time, and I have more meetings than meals every day.

Zhou Qingbai exchanged feelings with Pei You hastily and hastily before, but he hadn't been able to get used to the new way of getting along with each other. It was an awkward time, and it happened that these trivial and complicated tasks filled up all of Pei You's time, so Zhou Qingbai also Instead of chatting with him about unnutritious daily topics every day as before, I took advantage of the trend to reduce the frequency of contact with him, and only greeted each other with a few good morning and evening every day, as if to refresh my sense of existence.

It's just that the frequency of contact is less, and I haven't seen him so comfortable. Zhou Qingbai tosses and turns every day and can't sleep. Everyone vaguely felt that he was not in the right state, so they asked Jiang Man over and over again to inquire about him several times.

After fooling his sister-in-law who came to inquire about the news for the third time, Zhou Qingbai finally felt that this was not good, so he pinched his nose and reluctantly called Ge Xing.

"Come out for a drink at night?" Zhou Qingbai asked straight to the point: "I treat you."

"Yo, rare guest." Ge Xing's tone was twists and turns, like an old bustard with a tune, he drew a long voice and said quietly: "Why did you remember asking me out for a drink? Are you free recently? I thought you were soaking in Wenrou Township. not coming."

Zhou Qingbai also knew that the image of him saying that he was a "single person" was still vivid in his mind, but within a few months, he confessed his love to others in public, slapped him in the face, and blamed Ge Xing for running him.

He was wronged himself, so he held his breath and didn't reply. Pushing his foot, the office chair slid back a bit, and turned half a circle on the spot.He leaned on the large chair with no love in his life, and said half-deadly: "Some are empty, I want to ask you for some emotional problems."

"Huh?" Ge Xing finally heard something, his tone changed, and he asked suspiciously: "What kind of tone are you talking about, your relationship is not going well recently?"

Ge Xing paused as he spoke, and wondered: "No way, you two just met each other."

"What love, it hasn't started yet." Zhou Qingbai corrected.

"...You two are really good at it." Ge Xing said speechlessly: "After confessing your love, don't hurry up to fight the fire. Are you really playing with primary school students in love?"

"Anyway, I can't go into details on the phone." Zhou Qingbai clicked his tongue, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said vaguely, "Just tell me if you're free."

"I'm free." Ge Xing said, "Then see you tonight."

In order to keep the appointment at night, Zhou Qingbai worked overtime for the first time, and didn't turn off the computer until 08:30 in the evening and went out.

He took a taxi to BlackBar, but he didn't show up on the first floor, but went directly up the stairs in the back kitchen to the second floor, and turned into Ge Xing's "Second Boss Box".

Ge Xing had already waited in the private room in advance, and when Zhou Qingbai opened the door to enter, the wine and fruit plate on the coffee table were all set up, as if he was in a posture of having a long talk.

Zhou Qingbai was not polite to him either, he sat on the sofa and opened a bottle of whiskey without saying a word.

Ge Xing looked at him with great interest and didn't stop him. Seeing Zhou Qingbai drinking in silence for a while, he threw a melon seed shell on him and joked: "Hey, that's fine. , don't drink too much and ask me for Pei You, I have nowhere to find it for you."

Zhou Qingbai seemed to have some kind of keyword radar on his body. When he heard the word "Pei You", he paused his hands, opened his mouth subconsciously, and wanted to say something, but unfortunately he didn't say anything in the end.

"What's going on." Ge Xing tried while knocking on the melon seeds, "You won't be broken in love right after confessing your love?"

"You just fell out of love." Zhou Qingbai subconsciously retorted.

"Then since you haven't lost your love, why are you drinking so much wine here?" Ge Xing said, "It's a pity that your single life is gone forever?"

"...No." Zhou Qingbai put down his wine glass, leaned back on the sofa, hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "I just feel a little awkward, and suddenly I don't know how to get along with him."

Before Zhou Qingbai found out what he wanted, when he got along with Pei You, he always thought about what to do when he was with Pei You, how to be comfortable and how to do it, he didn't care about his face and image at all, but now that the window paper was pierced, he became intimidated instead. Standing up, even sending a wechat message to Pei You has to think carefully about the words and tone.

This feeling made him very uncomfortable and a little uneasy. Zhou Qingbai didn't want this change of mentality to affect the relationship between him and Pei You, but he couldn't adjust himself, so he could only be awkward until now.

"I understand." Ge Xing said casually, "It's not a big problem, it's a common problem of old virgins."

Zhou Qingbai: "...Get out!"

"I'm serious." Ge Xing laughed, and said nonchalantly: "Who doesn't want to behave better in front of his sweetheart, it's normal—anyway, you haven't been a good person before, and Pei You is used to you acting like a monster. It's too late for you to change now."

Ge Xing touched his chin and said, "Hey, don't say it, maybe he likes that."

Zhou Qingbai: "..."

Boss Ge started to be indecisive before the end of his three sentences. Zhou Qingbai rolled his eyes, slumped on the sofa, and then said: "Being friends is different from being a couple. Of course, being friends can make some jokes, anyway. It’s not like we’re always together all the time, so we naturally have a chance to breathe. But there’s no gap between being a couple, after a long time, what if we can’t get along?”

Zhou Qingbai had obviously been troubled by these matters for a long time, and he continued talking on his own without waiting for Ge Xing to reply.

"Besides, Pei You is such a motivated person. I don't know if I can catch up with him and take on the responsibility of giving him a family after we get together." Zhou Qingbai said: "There is no way to get married, there is no guarantee—— Such a person is not easy, I can't throw everything to him."

"In addition, we have different growth experiences and different personalities. When we are friends, there is no problem. If we are a couple, what should we do if we find that we have disagreements after a long time?" Zhou Qingbai said: "The time of life is so long, I am afraid Something went wrong."

From friends to lovers, it seems that there is only a thin line between them, but the meaning is very different.The latter are intimate, not only sharing the highest and lowest points of each other, but also exchanging all the joys, sorrows and joys and the future of life. If there is one level that is not well-adjusted, they will not be able to escape the end of parting ways.

Intimacy becomes estranged, frankness becomes reserved, everything is talked about in a disguised manner - Zhou Qingbai feels uncomfortable just thinking about this result.

"You've also seen those couples who used to be deeply in love, but in the end they never get along." Zhou Qingbai blinked and said softly, "I don't want to think about the worst, but what if—"

Ge Xing turned his head to look at him, the frivolous smile on his face gradually disappeared in Zhou Qingbai's confession, and finally turned into an emotion that Zhou Qingbai could not understand.

He took a deep look at Zhou Qingbai, and there were many inexplicable deep meanings in his eyes.

"Then what should we do?" Ge Xing asked back: "Tell him clearly? Drunk talk doesn't count?"

Zhou Qingbai was silent for a long time.

Obviously, this kind of thought once appeared in his mind, but before it appeared, he was stifled by himself.

Love is instinct, impulsive, visible and uncontrollable. Zhou Qingbai has said so much, and he has so many practical concerns in his heart. Everything shows that "love" is not the best solution, but he still wants to get close to Pei You, or I like him, but I still want to hold his hand, and I don't want to say a word that hurts him in this life.

"...No." So Zhou Qingbai said, "I can't do it."

"Actually—" Ge Xing lit a cigarette and said vaguely, "If you were sixteen or seventeen years old this year, you wouldn't have such worries."

The fuzzy smoke curled up in the dim ambient light, blurring Ge Xing's eyebrows and eyes, leaving only his clear voice.

"If you're young, you'll go up there with a rush, how can you think so much." Ge Xing said: "Only adults will think about these things."

"Isn't this nonsense?" Zhou Qingbai said, "Or you can give me a rejuvenated gun and shoot me now?"

Ge Xing hooked the corners of his lips, but instead of arguing with him, he turned his head and looked at him again, and took a deep breath on his cigarette.

"But Zhou Qingbai." Ge Xing said: "Adults don't fall in love like you do."

"What do you mean?" Zhou Qingbai said.

"Adults, everyone just goes to the end. If you like it, you get along, and if you don't like it, you separate." Ge Xing said: "Happy time, keep each other, there is no such thing as you who say 'forever' when you come up."

"Others are others." Zhou Qingbai said: "If you don't want to spend your whole life in love, why bother others."

His tone was very flat, but there was something natural in it, Ge Xing shook his hands with ashes, and couldn't help but look at him again.

"...Zhou Qingbai." After a while, Ge Xingcai suddenly said with emotion: "I really did nothing wrong as a matchmaker. Fortunately, I introduced you to Pei You."

"What?" Zhou Qingbai wondered, wondering why he said such a sentence out of nowhere.

Ge Xing shook his head without explaining.

The love of teenagers is impulsive but naive, while the love of adults is stable but indifferent. Only Zhou Qingbai is the middle value between the two.

He has the sincerity and purity of a young man, and his heart is unreserved; but at the same time he is an out-and-out adult, he has a sense of responsibility in his heart and a sense of avoiding danger.

Perhaps even Zhou Qingbai himself didn't realize that he already possessed the best conditions for true love.

"In short, it's not a big deal." Ge Xing said with a smile: "No matter what you think, either wait for the east wind to overwhelm the west wind, or wait for the west wind to overwhelm the east wind, and there will always be a result in the end."

"When will the result come?" Zhou Qingbai said in a muffled voice, "Did it fall from the sky?"

"Maybe." Ge Xing said inscrutably, "Maybe one day God will drop you from the sky, and Paji will wake you up."

Ge Xing's original intention was just to say casually, to fool the old virgin who was anxious before marriage, who knows whether he is good or bad, but Zhou Qingbai woke him up with a call at 04:30 the next morning.

It was still dark at that time, and Ge Xinggang had been playing disco all night, his eyelids seemed to be stuck with glue, and before he had time to see who was calling, he swiped the call button.

"Hey……"

He hadn't finished saying who it was when Zhou Qingbai's voice came out from the other side of the microphone, it was as cold as ice, and he was trembling when he listened carefully.

"Ge Xing, there was an earthquake in the southwest." Zhou Qingbai took a deep breath and said, "Pei You was on a business trip there, and now I have lost contact—can you lend me your driver."
