Xiangyu

Nearby Qiao Yusong, an old man with a foreign accent said to the old woman next to him: "Dong Shi Tiao."

The old lady repeated in a dignified way: "Dongsishitiao."

The old man smiled, waved his hand, and said, "It's Dongsi-ten, not Dongsi-tiao. The tenth alley in Dongsi, you know?"

"So that's the case." The old woman nodded thoughtfully.

Seeing the admiration expression on the old grandma's face, the old grandpa smiled smugly.

Not far from them, across a door, there was a young couple sitting on the seats, they looked like middle school students, playing a game of thugs.Qiao Yusong cast his eyes on the programmer sitting across from them. There was a laptop on his lap, and he was typing on the keyboard.

Not long after, the programmer put on a bluetooth headset and answered the call: "Hello? I'm almost there, there is one more stop. Huh? Do you like sashimi that much? It's cold. I fooled my parents. Come out and eat something warm."

While talking, the subway arrived.

He quickly picked up his computer and walked out, compromised: "Okay, okay, listen to you. You can eat whatever you want."

"Where are you going to stop?" Li Yanshu asked suddenly.

Qiao Yusong came back to his senses and said, "South of Xibo Temple."

"Me too." He smiled, "To eat?"

After hesitating for a second, Qiao Yusong nodded.

Li Yanshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Me too. Hey, since we met, let's have dinner together! Eating alone is so boring."

Qiao Yusong wanted to ask Li Yanshu how he knew that he was alone, but maybe it would be much better to just refuse.He looked at Li Yanshu's handsome eyebrows and asked, "What do you eat?"

"Do you eat Vietnamese food? There is a private Vietnamese restaurant on the South Street of Xibo Temple. I heard it is delicious." He suggested.

After listening, Qiao Yusong remembered similar words, which Li Yanshu seemed to have sent a message not long ago.But at that time, he didn't reply and deleted the conversation directly.Now that Li Yanshu mentioned it again, as if he didn't intend to repeat the unanswered messages, Qiao Yusong couldn't help but look at him for a while longer.

"Huh?" Li Yanshu cast him a questioning look.

Qiao Yusong shook his head, smiled lightly, and said, "Okay."

Although it is dinner time, most restaurants are not overcrowded.They walked into this Vietnamese restaurant called "Miss Nguyen", and were quickly guided by the waiter to a satisfactory seat.

"May I ask what you want to eat? Vietnamese cuisine is based on fish sauce. Our dishes are mainly natural and refreshing, and the taste is more sour and sweet." The waiter poured hot water for them. "There is a QR code here. Self-service ordering is provided, and two people can shop together."

After Li Yanshu successfully scanned the code, he turned the side of the stand with the QR code to Qiao Yusong.

Qiao Yusong thanked the waiter and took out his mobile phone to scan the code.

"Wow, this buyer's show is forcing people to order every dish." Li Yanshu said with a smile, "Brother, what do you want to eat?"

Except for dining out with Song Yuqiao, Qiao Yusong still likes to let others order first when eating with others.He said: "You can order what you want first, I don't mind."

"Come on, I want to know what flavor you like to eat." As he said, he raised his eyes from behind the phone.

He frowned with a smile, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.Qiao Yusong smiled helplessly and said, "Then I'll order something different, and you can order something different."

"Okay." He put down the phone.

Qiao Yusong knew that he was looking at him, so he didn't want to care, but after a long time, he finally couldn't help laughing, raised his eyes and asked, "What are you looking at?"

He blinked twice and said, "Look at you."

This answer did not surprise Qiao Yusong. He flattened his mouth, ordered the dishes quickly, and said, "Okay, it's your turn."

He showed a regretful expression, picked up his phone again, and read the name of the dish Qiao Yusong ordered: "Ancient roasted chicken, white shellfish with Vietnamese sauce. Wow, they all look authentic. You really know how to order." .”

"No, I just ordered the ones I recognize. I have eaten these two dishes when I was flying to Xinshanyi, and they feel okay." Qiao Yusong said, picking up the water glass to drink water.

Li Yanshu was surprised: "You have flown to Vietnam? But, our airline company doesn't fly to Vietnam, right?"

Qiao Yusong was slightly taken aback. Since he brought up the topic, he had no choice but to continue: "Before coming to Minghang, I flew in Beihang for a few years."

Li Yanshu nodded clearly, and asked, "How many years have you been flying in Beihang?"

"Six years," he replied.

"Then you have been flying in Minghang for three years?" After he asked, he smiled slyly at the astonished Qiao Yusong, "During the pre-flight meeting, you said that you have been flying for nine years."

It was just a routine introduction at the pre-flight preparation meeting, Qiao Yusong did not expect Li Yanshu to remember it.He smiled embarrassedly and said, "This is the tenth year."

"I'm so envious." He sighed, shook his head, put down his phone, and looked at Qiao Yusong again.

Qiao Yusong avoided his gaze and asked, "What are you envious of? 34 years old, he is almost a middle-aged greasy uncle."

"I'm envious of you being 34 and still so handsome. If I can be half of you in ten years, I'll be content without upgrading my ps." He shook his head slightly.

"It's better for young people to have a little ambition?" Qiao Yusong said with a smile.

He looked at Qiao Yusong with his cheek on his back, and said with a serious expression, "I have ambition."

Qiao Yusong avoided his gaze again.

During the dinner, they chatted about some embarrassing things and gossip they encountered at work, because they are doing almost the same job in the same company, and it is very easy to find topics to talk about.

When getting along with each other at work, Qiao Yusong could see that Li Yanshu was a cheerful young man.After eating this meal, Qiao Yusong saw that he was talkative. He could tell a simple funny story vividly. Qiao Yusong couldn't help laughing just by imagining the situation he described.

After laughing, Qiao Yusong suddenly realized that he hadn't laughed like this for a long time.

For him, laughing has become a habit as early as when it started.He was sometimes not sure what the point of laughing was.

However, when he found that he could still laugh like this, he suddenly felt scared and uneasy.

After checking out and leaving the private restaurant, Li Yanshu finished talking about an anecdote that he had never heard before in high spirits, and looked at Qiao Yusong with shining eyes, clearly waiting for him to laugh.

Qiao Yusong frowned slightly, and the corner of his mouth raised a slight arc.

"What's wrong?" Li Yanshu asked puzzled.

Qiao Yusong shook his head and said, "It's nothing. It's nothing, just go back. It's getting colder the later it gets."

He was stunned for a second, and immediately said: "Okay. Then I will see you off!"

"What to give? I'm a big man." Qiao Yusong said with a smile, "I'll take a taxi and go back."

Li Yanshu hesitated to speak, but finally gave up and said, "Okay, see you the day after tomorrow. On New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, fly to New Millennium, so we can celebrate the new year together."

Qiao Yusong hailed an online car-hailing car, heard the words and looked up at him, seeing him smiling happily, without hiding his expectation.Qiao Yusong stared at him intently, the more he watched, the more unspeakably impatient he felt.

Qiao Yusong didn't know what kind of expression he showed. Li Yanshu soon stopped smiling after seeing it.He cared: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Yusong quickly restrained his emotions, raised the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's nothing. It just happens to be lined up to fly together. What's the New Year's Eve or not?"

He smiled shyly, rubbing the back of his head.

"The day after tomorrow..." Qiao Yusong hesitated, and lied, "My boyfriend may follow."

After listening, Li Yanshu was stunned.He put down his hand and asked in disbelief, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

Qiao Yusong felt stuck in his heart, and said with certainty: "Yes, I have a boyfriend. We also signed a guardianship agreement."

He was still full of disbelief, and questioned: "Is it a lie? I haven't seen it before."

"How many times have I met you? He's not an employee of our company, so why do you have to see him?" Qiao Yusong couldn't help being anxious.

Li Yanshu frowned and said, "But I haven't heard anyone else say that you have a boyfriend. There are so many gossips in the company, who can hide it? If you really have one, even if it's not me, someone must have seen it and talked about it." ?”

Yes, he was right.But why no one?Why has no one seen Song Yuqiao?Because, because even Qiao Yusong hardly saw him.Faced with Li Yanshu's doubts, Qiao Yusong really wanted to explain the ins and outs clearly, but when the words came to his lips, he felt that it was really embarrassing to say them.

He could see that Li Yanshu had a crush on him, and he wanted to refuse, but he was refusing.He came up with the most reasonable and powerful reasons for ordinary people to refuse, but what he got was a skeptical response.

Why should he explain to a man who is going to pursue him that his boyfriend exists and disappears?He wants to tell Li Yanshu that he has a boyfriend, but Song Yuqiao has gone to work and is not at home often, and they hardly see each other, so the colleagues in the company don't know.He couldn't open his mouth, he had a premonition that as long as he said this, he would collapse on the side of the road in an instant.

"I really do." Qiao Yusong clenched his fists, his body began to tremble involuntarily, his eyes were hot, so he stared at Li Yanshu's eyes, waiting for him to accept.

Xu Shi was frightened by Qiao Yusong's appearance, and Li Yanshu dared not say anything doubtful.He raised his hands and pressed down lightly, signaling Qiao Yusong to be calm, and said, "Okay, okay, I see. I'm sorry, because I asked others and thought you were single, so... Although you are wearing a ring, But don't many people do this to avoid being chased? I thought you were too. I'm sorry, I should have believed you."

Qiao Yusong took a deep breath, hoping to calm down as soon as possible, so as not to lose face in front of this young man ten years younger than him.Fortunately, the online car-hailing car soon reached the side of the road, and Qiao Yusong quickly opened the door and got into the car.

Online car-hailing cars cannot enter Shangrenli No. 6 Courtyard, so Qiao Yusong got out of the car and walked quickly inside.

Passing downstairs, Qiao Yusong saw that the venue for the garden party the next day had been set up. Red lanterns of all sizes were hung high, and colorful stripes and flags were also arranged beside the street lights.

The word "Fu" and Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the door of the unit, and the artistic words "Celebrate the Spring Festival" are drawn on the blackboard next to the bulletin board.

Qiao Yusong returned to the door of his own house. Compared with the door of the neighbor's house, the door without any decorations looked particularly deserted.

He opened the door and entered, and the sensor light inside the door turned on.

He wiped his face, changed his shoes and went into the house to find water.

After walking to the kitchen, the cell phone in his pocket rang. Qiao Yusong took out the cell phone, but there was no name of the caller, and no information about where the phone number belonged.Facing the unfamiliar string of numbers, Qiao Yusong's hands began to tremble.

"Hello?" Qiao Yusong finally picked up the phone.

Song Yuqiao's smiling voice came from the other end of the phone, saying, "Hello? It's me."

Qiao Yusong's eyes suddenly became hot, and after a while, he asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"

Seemingly frightened by his words, Song Yuqiao asked in a tentative voice after a while, "Xiao Song, are you alright?"

Slowly, Qiao Yusong calmed down a little.Thinking that this was a phone call that he had finally heard, he covered his forehead, tried hard to control his emotions, and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine."

Song Yuqiao was silent for a moment, and asked: "Today rest? What did you do?"

Hearing that he was pretending to be relaxed, Qiao Yusong's tears fell without warning.He licked his lips wet with tears, and said, "I didn't do anything, I slept for most of the day. I went out to eat at night, and I just came back."

"Why do you think of going out to eat? It's cold in Xijin today. Have a date?" Song Yuqiao asked.

His tone was still the same as before.Qiao Yusong held his breath, and after a while, he said: "Well, I made an appointment with a colleague, the number 3 of the same crew in the last round. I went to Xibosi South Street to eat Vietnamese food, which was delicious. And he is very good. Funny guy, and his jokes are especially funny. He was promoted to a flight attendant for two cabins at a young age, and it can be seen that the flight attendants like him. I will be with him in the next round."

"Really?" Song Yuqiao responded calmly.

Hearing the sound, Qiao Yusong's tears fell again, and he couldn't swallow the words that had been choked in his throat. He wiped away his tears and asked, "Song Yuqiao, are you not planning to come back?"

"What are you talking about?" Song Yuqiao reprimanded slightly, "How could I not go back?"

"How do I know?!" Qiao Yusong yelled unbearably.

Song Yuqiao remained silent for a few seconds and said, "Xiao Song, calm down. This call is an application I have waited for a long time to pass, and I don't want to waste time arguing with you. This year I will go back to celebrate the New Year, and I have already taken the flight in the afternoon of New Year's Eve. It's time for the flight."

I finally heard the answer I had been looking forward to for a long time, but it seemed like a belated antidote, and it could not cure the terminally ill poison, especially when Song Yuqiao said that he didn't want to waste time, and he added salt to the wound.Qiao Yusong breathed heavily, and finally he was able to make a sound again. He sneered and asked, "Come back on New Year's Eve, right? How long will you stay?"

"Four days." Song Yuqiao said in a deep voice.

"I fly one round for four days, and the first day is New Year's Eve. I fly to Japan!" Qiao Yusong was so anxious that he turned around in circles.

Song Yuqiao said: "It's rare for me to go back, can you ask the company for leave..."

"Song Yuqiao!" Qiao Yusong's body trembled uncontrollably.

He fell silent and stopped talking.

Qiao Yusong knew that the call was being recorded, and he knew that, at some point, someone he didn't know would hear his hysteria.But so what?It was over, he couldn't breathe anymore.In short breaths again and again, he gradually saw the end.His legs were weak, and he sat limply on the floor, leaning against the countertop.

"Xiaoqiao, I can't take it anymore. I'm sorry, I really can't bear it for a second. I can ask the company for leave until you come back. At that time, we break up." Qiao Yusong finished speaking, hung up the phone, Holding his head and crying loudly.
