Early in the morning, Tao Jia was woken up by the banging on the door. After waking up, her mind was still dazed, and she habitually turned over to hug Zheng Qin, but in vain.His bewildered brain suddenly became clear, he opened his eyes and was about to call out, but was stunned by the scene in front of him and lost his voice.
The two-meter big bed that two people could sleep in without feeling cramped disappeared and was replaced by a small single bed, and the floor-to-ceiling windows covering the entire wall have also shrunk severely, leaving only two small windows alone Simply embedded in the center of the wall.
Tao Jia realized that this was not his and Zheng Qin's bedroom at all, but his home in U City.He was completely dumbfounded, and he didn't understand why he returned to his home in U City overnight.And it wasn't until then that he noticed that it was none other than Wang Meili who had been banging on the door.
"Tao Jia, wake up! The sun is drying your ass!" Outside the door, Wang Meili's high-pitched squeaky voice sounded with the sound of knocking on the door.
Tao Jia quickly ran out of bed to open the door.Wang Meili stood outside the house with her hips akimbo, looking at Hua with some surprise: "Hey, I woke up quite numb today. Breakfast is ready, go brush your teeth and wash your face."
Tao Jia nodded blankly and asked, "Mom, where is Zheng Qin?"
"What Zheng Qin?" Wang Meili looked confused again, "Who is Zheng Qin? Your new friend?"
Tao Jia couldn't help showing a black question mark: "Mom, are you awake? Why don't you even know Zheng Qin? Didn't you promise us to be together? Isn't it too much to pretend to be amnesia at this time?" late?"
Wang Meili glared at him: "I think you are still drunk, talking nonsense early in the morning. I haven't settled with you for drinking with Ming Nan until the early morning and coming home last night?"
Ming Nan?drink wine?Didn't Ming Nan go on a mission?
Tao Jia grabbed a handful of chicken nests, confused, and was confused. Suddenly he was blessed, grabbed Wang Meili's shoulder and asked, "Mom, is this year 16 or 19?"
Wang Meili raised her hand, smacked her head, and said angrily, "You haven't finished yet, have you drunk so much that you even forgot the year? The calendar is hanging on the wall, and you don't know how to read it yourself."
Tao Jia looked in the direction of Wang Meili's finger, and the electronic calendar clearly showed July 2019, 7.He was completely stunned.
Wang Meili didn't know her son's inner turmoil at the moment, so she poked her son's waist and urged, "Go and wash your face, the porridge will be cold soon."
Tao Jia didn't know how he washed his face and brushed his teeth, and how he got to the restaurant. Now he has only one thought in his mind - he seems to have returned to the original world.
And Wang Meili's next words also verified his conjecture.
At the dinner table, Wang Meili said to him earnestly: "Seeing that you are going to be 30 years old, you can't accomplish anything. You should find a job as soon as possible and stabilize yourself. You can't delay the relationship anymore. Your aunt Liu's third niece He just came back from abroad, he is a lawyer, he is very good, do you want to meet him?"
No matter how good the girl is, it doesn't matter to Tao Jia, he just wants to return to Zheng Qin's side.
Tao Jia really hoped that all of this was a way for his mother to cooperate with Zheng Qin to trick him.However, Zheng Qin seemed to have evaporated, all his contact information on the phone disappeared out of thin air, along with Ji Xu's, and only Ming Nan's was still quietly lying in his address book.
As soon as I thought of Ming Nan, Ming Nan called.
"Jiajia, are you home now? I drank too much last night and fell asleep when I got home. I forgot to ask if you got home safely."
Tao Jia's voice was slightly hoarse, and she asked, "Nan'er, where did we drink last night?"
Ming Nan was a little surprised: "Are you drinking Duan Pian? It's the food stall at Xiaonanmen that we often go to."
Tao Jia suddenly closed his eyes weakly.
Perhaps feeling that Tao Jia's condition was not right, Ming Nan asked with some worry: "Jia Jia, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Tao Jia said bitterly, wiped his face and asked again, "Aren't you going to work today, I want to find you."
"Okay, then you can come to my house."
Tao Jia also lost her appetite, so she hung up the phone and went out.
On the street, he once again deeply felt the breath from 2019, and his heart became even more depressed.He didn't dare to look too much, so he took a taxi and hurried to Ming Nan's house.
Ming Nan's residence was a high-end villa located in the city center. Tao Jia arrived at the door of Ming Nan's house and entered the house without knocking.
Ming Nan was working in the living room, so he wasn't surprised to see him come in, so he casually greeted, "Are you here?"
"Yeah." Tao Jia changed her shoes and entered the house. The first thing she did after entering the house was to run into the kitchen, open the refrigerator and get a can of beer.
Ming Nan said, "I didn't drink enough last night."
"I'm bored." Tao Jia sat cross-legged on the sofa, raised her head and took a sip of beer.
"What? Your mother is urging the marriage again?"
"It's urgent, but it's not because of this?"
"What's that for?"
Tao Jia bit the beer can, stared at the background wall of the TV in a daze, and said in a daze: "This is too mysterious to say, you won't believe it, and I don't know how to say it."
Ming Nan tapped the keyboard and said, "You knew I wouldn't believe it even before you said it?"
Tao Jia lowered his head and smiled wryly, "Because, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I would never have believed it."
Ming Nan put down the computer and turned around: "It's all right now, you have successfully aroused my curiosity."
Tao Jia took the last sip of wine, threw the can into the trash can, put his hands on his knees, and said to himself: "Is that just a dream I had?" All this was just him from the beginning to the end. Have an extremely long dream?
But if it's just a dream, then why is every bit of the relationship with Zheng Qin so clear, even until now the body seems to be able to feel the joy that Zheng Qin left for him.
Which one is the dream?
Ming Nan turned around, but seeing Tao Jia's expression of wanting to cry, she couldn't help worrying: "Jia Jia, do you have something on your mind? Didn't you feel fine when you drank last night?"
Tao Jia hugged her knees and fell on the sofa: "Nan'er, I had a dream last night."
Ming Nan asked curiously, "What dream?"
Tao Jia turned over, lay on his back, looked at the ceiling and said, "I dreamed that I was reborn as 17 years old."
Ming Nan smiled: "This dream is quite strange."
Tao Jia also twitched the corners of his mouth, and continued: "In that world, my parents were not divorced, and my dad was not sent overseas, but went to Nancheng."
Ming Nan said pleasantly, "Nancheng? Isn't that my hometown?"
Tao Jia said: "Yes, it is your hometown."
Ming Nan asked again: "Then, will I still be in the world after your rebirth?"
Tao Jia said: "Yes, you also followed your parents back to Nancheng."
Ming Nan was relieved when he heard the words: "That's good."
Tao Jia smiled, and continued to tell him about his life after rebirth: "We are still classmates when we went to high school, and you are still the first in your grade, the student council president. As for me, I didn't repeat the same mistakes this time, and I also attended classes well. The college entrance examination was successfully admitted to a key university."
"What about me? Are we still together in college?"
Tao Jia shook his head: "You got admitted to the Public Security University as you wished, and the school is opposite my school."
Ming Nan laughed loudly: "Did you really pass the exam?"
Tao Jia smiled and rubbed his head: "Yes, it really made our Nan'er pass the exam."
Ming Nan smiled even more happily, revealing two small dimples.He was obviously addicted to Tao Jia's dream, and asked again: "What else did you dream about?"
Tao Jia fell into memories again: "We not only realized our respective dreams, but also reaped a perfect love."
Ming Nan laughed out loud, and teased, "You've done a pretty good dream. Then what's the name of the object in your dream? Tell me more about it."
"His name is Zheng Qin." Tao Jia couldn't hide the happy smile on his face when he mentioned Zheng Qin.
"Zheng Qin? Which Qin?"
"Admiring Chin."
Ming Nan commented: "This girl's name is a bit masculine."
Tao Jia smiled and did not explain.
"and then?"
"Then we lived happily ever after."
"What's the ending?" Ming Nan asked him.
Tao Jia shook his head, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said sadly: "There is no ending, the dream of a happy life has just begun and I woke up."
Ming Nan patted him on the shoulder: "It's just a dream after all, you will wake up eventually, you don't have to be too sorry."
Tao Jia smiled bitterly: "But I don't want to wake up."
Ming Nan persuaded him: "Everything in the dream is illusory, no matter how reluctant you are, it will never come true."
Tao Jia sat up suddenly, and said excitedly: "Even if it's fake, I will make him real. Whether it's a dream or reality, I've always believed in Zheng Qin in my previous life and the next! I don't want him!"
Ming Nan asked sincerely, "How attractive is that girl named Zheng Qin? Which female celebrity did you imagine?"
Tao Jia disdained: "My family is much prettier than a celebrity." He said as he walked towards the gate.
Ming Nan hurriedly asked him, "Where are you going?"
Tao Jia stopped in his tracks, clenched his fists and said, "I'm going to chase my wife!" He had already figured it out, even if meeting Zheng Qin was just a dream, he would make this dream come true, even in this world, his own love for Zheng Qin Qin Qin is just a stranger, and he wants to get Zheng Qin again.
Zheng Qinneng can bow down twice under his sweatpants once.
As the saying goes, as long as you work hard, a straight man can be broken into a paper clip.
Regarding the matter of Zheng Qin, Tao Jia has always been a man of action. He went straight to the airport when he came out of Ming Nan's apartment, and even bought the air ticket in the car.
His purpose was very clear, the first stop was City A, he was going to go back to the apartment where they lived to find someone.But when he got there, he found that in this world, Zheng Qin didn't live there, and he didn't even own the apartment.
He went to the company where Zheng Qin worked again, but soon his wish came true again.He found the company where Zheng Qin worked, but after asking around, everyone said that there was no one named Zheng Qin in their company.
He stayed in City A for three days, and searched almost every corner of the city, but Zheng Qin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, no matter how much he dug the ground, he couldn't find any trace of him.
Tao Jia finally returned without success.But he didn't feel lost for too long, and he soon cheered up again. This time he went to Nancheng.He went to Zheng Qin's house. Fortunately, the house did not change hands this time, but it was already empty.
"This family moved abroad seven years ago." The neighbor who lived next door saw him lingering in front of the door for a long time, and kindly reminded him.
Tao Jia hurriedly asked, "Did you go to the Netherlands?"
"Yes, the owner of this family is Dutch. He heard that the old man is not in good health, so he went back to take care of him."
"Did all four members of the family go? Where's his eldest son?"
"They all went, the whole family went back to the Netherlands, and his eldest son also went back."
There was a thunderbolt above his head, and for a moment, Tao Jia felt that the world had lost its luster.If Zheng Qin was still in the country, then he must be confident that he can find him, but now, the target range has suddenly shifted to foreign countries, so how can he find him?This is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
The last hope was also shattered, and Tao Jia returned to City A in despair, never in such a desperate mood as at this moment.
However, things that made him collapse followed one after another.
That day, during dinner at night, Wang Meili brought up the topic of blind dates again, and asked him: "Do you have time tomorrow? Your Aunt Liu wants to arrange for you to meet her niece, and she has already agreed."
Tao Jia lost her appetite in an instant, put down her chopsticks, and looked at his mother seriously: "Mom, stop messing around, I told you earlier that I would not meet."
Wang Meili didn't give up: "I just asked you to meet, and you don't have to be in a relationship. Besides, all the girls have agreed. How rude it is for you to refuse."
Tao Jia frowned and said nothing.
Wang Meili said it in a good voice, but Tao Jia didn't listen to a word, and she lost her temper all of a sudden, threw away her chopsticks and said with a cold face: "Don't be stubborn, Tao Jia also figured it out for me, You are already 27, you are almost 30 years old, and you still think you are in your early twenties. When people introduce you with good intentions, you can pick and choose, and don’t look at yourself. The old lady licked her face and gave you Ask who the girl is for?"
Tao Jia frowned tightly, and was offended by Wang Meili's insult, but since the other party was an elder, she kept holding back and didn't attack.
Wang Meili saw that he refused to accept him, so she slapped the table angrily, and directly issued an ultimatum: "I tell you, if you don't go tomorrow, you have to go, and you must meet this face!"
Tao Jia couldn't bear it anymore, and finally broke out, raising her voice and said: "I said I won't go! You have to go by yourself!" After speaking, he turned his head and entered the room, and the door closed to isolate Wang Meili's cursing. at the door.
Just as he was upset, Ming Nan called again, asking him where he had been a few days ago.Tao Jia held back her breath and explained a few words.Ming Nan didn't delve into it, and quickly chatted about other things, and then turned to work.
"By the way, our company has just spent a lot of money to recruit a financial analyst from overseas. I heard that he is very smart. He has been a top student since he was a child, but his personality is a bit cold. Coincidentally, his name is also Zheng Qin. He is the same as you in your dream. The object of the same name, but this is a man."
Ming Nan originally just talked about this new colleague as a fun thing, but Tao Jia suddenly became excited: "What did you say his name is?!"
"Zheng Qin." Ming Nan repeated blankly, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Tao Jia's hands were trembling with excitement, he forced himself to calm down, and carefully checked: "Which Qin?"
"I admire you." Ming Nan became a little nervous, "Jiajia, what's wrong with you? Why is your breathing so heavy? Are you sick?"
Tao Jia bit her tongue and said, "I'm fine, just a little excited. Nan'er, do you know where he is now?"
"He's still in the company. I just met him in the tea room..." Before he could finish speaking, a busy tone came from the receiver.
"I'm so surprised, I don't know what I'm excited about." Ming Nan muttered, put away his phone, and returned his attention to work.
Twenty minutes later, Tao Jia called again, telling him that he was downstairs in their company.Surprised and puzzled, Ming Nan went downstairs to pick him up with a stomach full of question marks.
"Why did you come here so well?"
Tao Jia was so excited that he asked eagerly, "Where is that new colleague you mentioned? Take me to meet him."
Ming Nan was surprised: "You know him?"
"In a sense, it's an acquaintance." Tao Jia didn't have time to explain, but kept urging, "These are not the most important, you take me to see him first."
For some reason, Ming Nan also became agitated, and took Tao Jia to Zheng Qin's office in a daze, only to be missed.
"Where are people!" Tao Jia looked at the dark room and couldn't help raising the volume.
Ming Nan was also puzzled: "He was here not long ago, and he left so soon?"
At this time, a colleague happened to pass by and explained: "You just left before you came here. If you chase now, you may still be able to catch up."
After finishing speaking, Tao Jia ran back.Run to the elevator room at the fastest speed, only one of the four elevators is going down, and you have already reached the eighth floor, don't think it must be Zheng Qin!Tao Jia didn't have time to wait for the elevator, so he directly chose to take the stairs.
With a height of ten floors, Tao Jia did not dare to stop.The weather in August was already very sweltering, and Tao Jia was already sweating profusely after running to the tenth floor, but he didn't even have time to wipe off his sweat, so he ran to the elevator again.The elevator arrived just then.The elevator door opened slowly, Tao Jia held his breath and stared at the door without blinking.
The door finally opened completely, and Tao Jia finally saw the person he was thinking of.
This scene is very similar to the first time I saw it.
He's in the elevator, and he's standing outside the elevator.It's just that the original white shirt and sneakers have now been replaced by suit leather shoes; that exquisite and flawless face is a bit more mature than in memory, only the indifferent eyes are exactly the same as back then.
Suddenly, Tao Jia's nose turned sore, he opened his mouth to make a sound, but his throat was sore.
"Zheng Qin."
The voices were shaking.
Undoubtedly excited to see Zheng Qin again, the corners of Tao Jia's eyes were red, and he was about to lift his feet in to hug his lover, but he heard his lover's cold and emotionless voice slowly.
"Sir, do we know each other?"
All the excitement came to an abrupt end, and the tears were withdrawn in an instant. Tao Jia stared at him blankly, realizing that to Zheng Qin in this world, he was just an irrelevant stranger.
Zheng Qin got out of the elevator, paused in front of him for a while, saw that he didn't answer for a long time, and walked out again.Tao Jia put away her sorrowful emotions, strode after him, and explained nervously: "I, I know you, but you don't know me."
Zheng Qin stopped again, turned around, and waited quietly for him to continue.
Tao Jia cleared his throat, grabbed the hem of his clothes nervously, and rolled his eyes around: "My name is Tao Jia, and I'm Ji Xu's childhood friend. I often hear him mention you. I heard that you came to U City, so please I'll take care of it."
In fact, he didn't know whether Ji Xu knew about Zheng Qin's coming to work in U City, he was gambling.Fortunately, he was right.After Zheng Qin heard that he was Ji Xu's child, his expression became milder, and he nodded to him as a greeting.
Tao Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a smile on his face.He said: "You must not be familiar with this place when you first came to U City. Let me treat you to dinner. After all, I am also the host. Since I am Ji Xu's friend, I should do my best as a landlord."
Zheng Qin refused.
This was also expected by Tao Jia, after all, with Zheng Qin's withdrawn personality, it would be better to be hungry if he had to eat at the same table with a stranger.But it was not easy to meet him, Tao Jia didn't want to give up, so he started to torture people.
"Must, Ji Xu's friend is my friend, this meal must be invited. And this is what Ji Xu meant, so don't refuse."
Zheng Qin remained unmoved.
"Go ahead, just have a meal, it won't take you too long." Tao Jia continued to grind.
Zheng Qin's complexion began to look gloomy, and he became a little impatient.
Tao Jia was also a little anxious. In the chaos, he didn't know where to go. He habitually hugged Zheng Qin's arm, shook it flatteringly, and said coquettishly in a soft and soft voice: "Zheng Qin, go ahead and count me in." I beg you."
Whether it was this action or the tone of his speech, it was Tao Jia's subconscious move.After all, he used to use this trick to force Zheng Qin to submit when he was begging for mercy or asking for benefits.And Zheng Qin would never last two rounds before losing.It's just that Zheng Qin is not his boyfriend now.
Facing the coquettish Tao Jia, Zheng Qin's iceberg face cracked obviously for the first time, and there was even a look of panic in his eyes.Perhaps it was the first time he was being acted like a baby by a strange man shaking his arm, he was so shocked that he forgot to push him away in the first place.And just these few seconds of dazedness were enough to make Tao Jia hit the snake with the stick and shake his arm even more vigorously.He looked at him with drooping corners of his eyes and pursed mouth, not to mention how pitiful he was.
If this expression was done by another man, Zheng Qin would have knocked him away with a punch, but Tao Jia made it, but it didn't violate harmony at all, and it didn't feel disgusting, and it was really distressing.Therefore, under Tao Jia's soft and hard paving, he finally succumbed.
Tao Jia was overjoyed, fearing that he would return to the cabin again, and hurriedly dragged him out of the company building.
"I know there is a very good private restaurant near here, with light taste, you will definitely like it. And it's not far from the company, just a 10-minute walk." Tao Jia actually came by car, but in order to be able to talk to Zheng Qin After getting along for a while, he decided to walk.
Zheng Qin didn't speak all the way.And Tao Jia was also rarely left alone.In the past, even if Zheng Qin didn't say a word, he could keep talking about a stand-up comic by himself.But at that time, he was able to be unscrupulous because he knew that Zheng Qin doted on him, even if he didn't speak, he looked at him with gentle eyes.It's just that now, those light-colored pupils are left with nothing but indifference, and when they look at him, apart from being alienated, they can't find any warmth.So he didn't dare to be presumptuous.
The atmosphere was silent and filled with embarrassment.
In this awkward atmosphere, the two arrived at their destination.Tao Jia specially asked for a private room, sat down and ordered seven or eight dishes from the menu.
After ordering, he warned again: "Don't add spicy food to all dishes, and seasoning is not acceptable. My friend is allergic to chili peppers and can't smell spicy."
Zheng Qin raised his head and glanced at him. In fact, he was a little surprised when he ordered.Because Tao Jia ordered these dishes that he usually prefers to eat.Later, he didn't expect that he even knew that he was allergic to chili peppers.
He was a little puzzled, and began to re-examine Tao Jia.Why does this strange man in front of him know him so well?Obviously they met for the first time today.
Tao Jia has been with him for nearly ten years, and he knows him better than the roundworm in his stomach. With just a frown, he understood his doubts, took a sip of ice water calmly, and explained: "You are allergic to chili peppers. It was Ji Xu who told me."
Zheng Qin asked him: "Are you familiar with Ji Xu?"
Tao Jia scratched his face, and told the truth: "Ji Xu lived in U City for a few years when he was a child, and he was my neighbor." As for whether he was familiar with him, he didn't say if he was familiar with Ji Xu in that world. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are like brothers and sisters.But in this world, he didn't even know where Ji Xu was now, and he didn't dare to say too much for fear of making mistakes.
He was also worried that Zheng Qin would grab Ji Xu for questioning, so he quickly took the initiative and changed the subject: "Are you married?"
Zheng Qin: "..."
It's just obvious that he turned the topic a little badly, so badly that Zheng Qin fell silent.
Tao Jia observed his expression and answered for him: "No end."
Zheng Qin: "..."
"Is there an object?"
Zheng Qin: "..."
"Not yet?" Tao Jia was secretly delighted, patted his chest, and whispered to himself, "Then I can rest assured."
If Zheng Qin in this world is already married or has a partner, then he really doesn't know what to do. It is immoral to force a foot in, but he is not reconciled to giving his lover away for nothing.He was relieved to know that he was still alone.
The meal was quite harmonious. Although Zheng Qin only said less than ten sentences, Tao Jia was quite satisfied.After dinner, the two returned to the company. Hearing that Zheng Qin hadn't prepared a car yet, Tao Jia volunteered to take him home.
Zheng Qin had seen Tao Jia's grinding skills before, knowing that he couldn't refuse, he didn't waste his words, and fell into his car.
Not to mention how beautiful Tao Jia was, he felt that his relationship with Zheng Qin had taken another step, so after sending him home, he made further progress and asked for contact information.
"Let's add a friend on WeChat. You can contact me in the future if you need anything. I'll be there for you." Tao Jia flashed out a business card with a QR code.
Zheng Qin glanced at him expressionlessly, and finally took out his phone to scan.
Tao Jia added a friend, but when he clicked on the profile picture, he felt a bit disappointed.Zheng Qin has two WeChat accounts, one is a personal account and the other is a work account, and he added a work account.From the looks of it, it was just his wishful thinking that the relationship went further.He didn't poke it, just asked, "Can I find you at night?"
Zheng Qin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
But in the end, Tao Jia didn't dare to look for it, and there was nothing else in the chat interface except the system's greeting.
Wang Meili still pursues Tao Jia's blind date, and keeps talking about the meeting in his ear every day.Tao Jia had no choice but to agree to meet.But his purpose of going is also very clear, that is to explain clearly to the girl.
The meeting place was decided by the woman, at a coffee shop near her company.The meeting process was quite harmonious. The girl was obviously very satisfied with Tao Jia, and she looked shy from the moment she saw him.
Unfortunately, getting used to seeing Zheng Qin's face, no matter how good-looking other people are, Tao Jia has no desire to appreciate it.So after only chatting for a few words, he made it clear: "Miss Liu, in fact, I came to meet you today to make it clear to you that I already have someone I like, so don't waste your time on me."
Ms. Liu was a little disappointed, but she nodded understandingly and said, "May I take the liberty to ask who is the person you like?"
"This...uh..." Tao Jia was speechless.
"If it's inconvenient, I won't say it, I was the one to be rude." Ms. Liu was very considerate.
The blind date ended in less than 10 minutes. Tao Jia settled the bill and was about to send Ms. Liu back to the company.As a result, the two ran into Zheng Qin head-on just as they walked out of the coffee shop.
Zheng Qin was also a little surprised, first glanced at Tao Jia, then at Miss Liu.
Reflexively, Tao Jia raised his hand and hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think, we're not on a blind date!"
Zheng Qin was puzzled: "Why do you have to explain it to me?"
Tao Jia slowly lowered her hands and scratched her hair in embarrassment.
Damn it, being suppressed for too long has become a conditioned reflex.
And after Miss Liu's eyes lingered on the two of them for a while, she suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.
"I probably understand. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Ms. Liu winked at Tao Jia.
"Huh?" Before Tao Jia could react, he subconsciously glanced at Zheng Qin.
Ms. Liu smiled without saying a word, pulled her broken hair behind her ears, and smiled gently: "Then I won't bother you, goodbye."
Ms. Liu left gracefully, leaving behind the bewildered Tao Jia and the extremely innocent Zheng Qin.
Tao Jia wiped his face and looked at Zheng Qin seriously: "Listen to my explanation."
Zheng Qin shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary, I'm just here to buy coffee."
"Then I invite you!" Tao Jia raised his hand.
Zheng Qin wanted to say no, but Tao Jia had already run back to the coffee shop to order.He had no choice but to keep up.
Soon the waiter brought two cups of American coffee, and Tao Jia looked at Zheng Qin with a smile on his chin: "I ordered the American coffee you like."
Zheng Qin was not in a hurry to drink, leaning on the back of the chair and looking at him with arms folded: "I contacted Ji Xu yesterday."
Tao Jia's smile froze on his face.
Zheng Qin didn't seem to see his broken expression at the moment, and continued to speak slowly: "He said he did have a friend named Tao Jia, but he hadn't contacted him for more than [-] years, and he never asked anyone to take care of me."
Tao Jia didn't dare to look at Zheng Qin's expression at all at this time, and lowered his head to drink coffee.
Zheng Qin took a sip of coffee and said lightly: "Tell me, why are you trying so hard to get close to me?"
The coffee was very bitter, but it was far less bitter than what Tao Jia felt at the moment.Zheng Qin was still waiting for his explanation, but he didn't know what to say, his lips murmured for a while and still didn't utter a word.
Finally ready for a showdown, Zheng Qin suddenly stood up again, looked down at him and said, "It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, but I don't think we need to meet again in the future."
Tao Jia watched helplessly as he left the store, tried to catch up but couldn't move his legs no matter what, wanted to make a sound to stop him but couldn't make a sound.He was sweating profusely.
Hurry up!Move your body quickly!
……
Tao Jia opened his eyes suddenly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.Panting heavily, he stared blankly at the ceiling, trying to turn over, but his arms felt soft warmth.He sat up suddenly, stared at the person beside him in disbelief, and looked around the room again.
Two-meter bed with floor-to-ceiling windows, oranges and soft drinks.
Tao Jia wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and suddenly laughed.
Fortunately it was just a dream.
He lay back beside Zheng Qin, felt dissatisfied after lying down for a while, then hugged the human bear with his hands and feet together, rubbing his head against his shoulder.
Zheng Qin also woke up after all this tossing, turned over and hugged him, put his right hand on the back of his head and stroked gently, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?"
Tao Jia closed her eyes and muttered, "I had a nightmare."
"What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed that you didn't know me anymore, and you suspected that I approached you for other purposes. Not only did you block me, but I was also not allowed to look for you again."
Zheng Qin sighed lightly, rubbed his hair and said helplessly, "I've been thinking about something all day long."
Tao Jia pouted: "I miss you, what else can I think about."
Zheng Qin chuckled silently: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Tao Jia squeezed into his arms: "Then hold me tighter, I'm afraid you'll disappear again when I wake up."
According to Zheng Qin's words, he hugged him even closer and kissed his forehead: "Go to sleep."
Tao Jia smiled slightly, and after a while, her breathing became long again.Zheng Qin watched quietly for a while and then closed his eyes.
The air conditioner in the room was humming. On the bed, there were two young people embracing each other and falling asleep. At the end of the bed lay a gray-blue kitten, with its stomach curled up and down, sleeping soundly. Under the bed was a half-person-high golden retriever. At this moment, he was sleeping soundly with his tongue out.
The minute hand passed round and round silently, the sun gradually rose, and the dazzling sunlight also brought scorching heat.
Have a great weekend, it’s okay to be lazy for a while~
The author has something to say: Tomorrow there will be an extra chapter of the forum post.The deputy CP hasn't figured out how to write it yet, because some people may not want to read the deputy CP.So, when the time comes, the deputy CP extra episode will be included in the extra episode, so it won't appear here.Love you guys!
The two-meter big bed that two people could sleep in without feeling cramped disappeared and was replaced by a small single bed, and the floor-to-ceiling windows covering the entire wall have also shrunk severely, leaving only two small windows alone Simply embedded in the center of the wall.
Tao Jia realized that this was not his and Zheng Qin's bedroom at all, but his home in U City.He was completely dumbfounded, and he didn't understand why he returned to his home in U City overnight.And it wasn't until then that he noticed that it was none other than Wang Meili who had been banging on the door.
"Tao Jia, wake up! The sun is drying your ass!" Outside the door, Wang Meili's high-pitched squeaky voice sounded with the sound of knocking on the door.
Tao Jia quickly ran out of bed to open the door.Wang Meili stood outside the house with her hips akimbo, looking at Hua with some surprise: "Hey, I woke up quite numb today. Breakfast is ready, go brush your teeth and wash your face."
Tao Jia nodded blankly and asked, "Mom, where is Zheng Qin?"
"What Zheng Qin?" Wang Meili looked confused again, "Who is Zheng Qin? Your new friend?"
Tao Jia couldn't help showing a black question mark: "Mom, are you awake? Why don't you even know Zheng Qin? Didn't you promise us to be together? Isn't it too much to pretend to be amnesia at this time?" late?"
Wang Meili glared at him: "I think you are still drunk, talking nonsense early in the morning. I haven't settled with you for drinking with Ming Nan until the early morning and coming home last night?"
Ming Nan?drink wine?Didn't Ming Nan go on a mission?
Tao Jia grabbed a handful of chicken nests, confused, and was confused. Suddenly he was blessed, grabbed Wang Meili's shoulder and asked, "Mom, is this year 16 or 19?"
Wang Meili raised her hand, smacked her head, and said angrily, "You haven't finished yet, have you drunk so much that you even forgot the year? The calendar is hanging on the wall, and you don't know how to read it yourself."
Tao Jia looked in the direction of Wang Meili's finger, and the electronic calendar clearly showed July 2019, 7.He was completely stunned.
Wang Meili didn't know her son's inner turmoil at the moment, so she poked her son's waist and urged, "Go and wash your face, the porridge will be cold soon."
Tao Jia didn't know how he washed his face and brushed his teeth, and how he got to the restaurant. Now he has only one thought in his mind - he seems to have returned to the original world.
And Wang Meili's next words also verified his conjecture.
At the dinner table, Wang Meili said to him earnestly: "Seeing that you are going to be 30 years old, you can't accomplish anything. You should find a job as soon as possible and stabilize yourself. You can't delay the relationship anymore. Your aunt Liu's third niece He just came back from abroad, he is a lawyer, he is very good, do you want to meet him?"
No matter how good the girl is, it doesn't matter to Tao Jia, he just wants to return to Zheng Qin's side.
Tao Jia really hoped that all of this was a way for his mother to cooperate with Zheng Qin to trick him.However, Zheng Qin seemed to have evaporated, all his contact information on the phone disappeared out of thin air, along with Ji Xu's, and only Ming Nan's was still quietly lying in his address book.
As soon as I thought of Ming Nan, Ming Nan called.
"Jiajia, are you home now? I drank too much last night and fell asleep when I got home. I forgot to ask if you got home safely."
Tao Jia's voice was slightly hoarse, and she asked, "Nan'er, where did we drink last night?"
Ming Nan was a little surprised: "Are you drinking Duan Pian? It's the food stall at Xiaonanmen that we often go to."
Tao Jia suddenly closed his eyes weakly.
Perhaps feeling that Tao Jia's condition was not right, Ming Nan asked with some worry: "Jia Jia, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Tao Jia said bitterly, wiped his face and asked again, "Aren't you going to work today, I want to find you."
"Okay, then you can come to my house."
Tao Jia also lost her appetite, so she hung up the phone and went out.
On the street, he once again deeply felt the breath from 2019, and his heart became even more depressed.He didn't dare to look too much, so he took a taxi and hurried to Ming Nan's house.
Ming Nan's residence was a high-end villa located in the city center. Tao Jia arrived at the door of Ming Nan's house and entered the house without knocking.
Ming Nan was working in the living room, so he wasn't surprised to see him come in, so he casually greeted, "Are you here?"
"Yeah." Tao Jia changed her shoes and entered the house. The first thing she did after entering the house was to run into the kitchen, open the refrigerator and get a can of beer.
Ming Nan said, "I didn't drink enough last night."
"I'm bored." Tao Jia sat cross-legged on the sofa, raised her head and took a sip of beer.
"What? Your mother is urging the marriage again?"
"It's urgent, but it's not because of this?"
"What's that for?"
Tao Jia bit the beer can, stared at the background wall of the TV in a daze, and said in a daze: "This is too mysterious to say, you won't believe it, and I don't know how to say it."
Ming Nan tapped the keyboard and said, "You knew I wouldn't believe it even before you said it?"
Tao Jia lowered his head and smiled wryly, "Because, if I hadn't experienced it myself, I would never have believed it."
Ming Nan put down the computer and turned around: "It's all right now, you have successfully aroused my curiosity."
Tao Jia took the last sip of wine, threw the can into the trash can, put his hands on his knees, and said to himself: "Is that just a dream I had?" All this was just him from the beginning to the end. Have an extremely long dream?
But if it's just a dream, then why is every bit of the relationship with Zheng Qin so clear, even until now the body seems to be able to feel the joy that Zheng Qin left for him.
Which one is the dream?
Ming Nan turned around, but seeing Tao Jia's expression of wanting to cry, she couldn't help worrying: "Jia Jia, do you have something on your mind? Didn't you feel fine when you drank last night?"
Tao Jia hugged her knees and fell on the sofa: "Nan'er, I had a dream last night."
Ming Nan asked curiously, "What dream?"
Tao Jia turned over, lay on his back, looked at the ceiling and said, "I dreamed that I was reborn as 17 years old."
Ming Nan smiled: "This dream is quite strange."
Tao Jia also twitched the corners of his mouth, and continued: "In that world, my parents were not divorced, and my dad was not sent overseas, but went to Nancheng."
Ming Nan said pleasantly, "Nancheng? Isn't that my hometown?"
Tao Jia said: "Yes, it is your hometown."
Ming Nan asked again: "Then, will I still be in the world after your rebirth?"
Tao Jia said: "Yes, you also followed your parents back to Nancheng."
Ming Nan was relieved when he heard the words: "That's good."
Tao Jia smiled, and continued to tell him about his life after rebirth: "We are still classmates when we went to high school, and you are still the first in your grade, the student council president. As for me, I didn't repeat the same mistakes this time, and I also attended classes well. The college entrance examination was successfully admitted to a key university."
"What about me? Are we still together in college?"
Tao Jia shook his head: "You got admitted to the Public Security University as you wished, and the school is opposite my school."
Ming Nan laughed loudly: "Did you really pass the exam?"
Tao Jia smiled and rubbed his head: "Yes, it really made our Nan'er pass the exam."
Ming Nan smiled even more happily, revealing two small dimples.He was obviously addicted to Tao Jia's dream, and asked again: "What else did you dream about?"
Tao Jia fell into memories again: "We not only realized our respective dreams, but also reaped a perfect love."
Ming Nan laughed out loud, and teased, "You've done a pretty good dream. Then what's the name of the object in your dream? Tell me more about it."
"His name is Zheng Qin." Tao Jia couldn't hide the happy smile on his face when he mentioned Zheng Qin.
"Zheng Qin? Which Qin?"
"Admiring Chin."
Ming Nan commented: "This girl's name is a bit masculine."
Tao Jia smiled and did not explain.
"and then?"
"Then we lived happily ever after."
"What's the ending?" Ming Nan asked him.
Tao Jia shook his head, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said sadly: "There is no ending, the dream of a happy life has just begun and I woke up."
Ming Nan patted him on the shoulder: "It's just a dream after all, you will wake up eventually, you don't have to be too sorry."
Tao Jia smiled bitterly: "But I don't want to wake up."
Ming Nan persuaded him: "Everything in the dream is illusory, no matter how reluctant you are, it will never come true."
Tao Jia sat up suddenly, and said excitedly: "Even if it's fake, I will make him real. Whether it's a dream or reality, I've always believed in Zheng Qin in my previous life and the next! I don't want him!"
Ming Nan asked sincerely, "How attractive is that girl named Zheng Qin? Which female celebrity did you imagine?"
Tao Jia disdained: "My family is much prettier than a celebrity." He said as he walked towards the gate.
Ming Nan hurriedly asked him, "Where are you going?"
Tao Jia stopped in his tracks, clenched his fists and said, "I'm going to chase my wife!" He had already figured it out, even if meeting Zheng Qin was just a dream, he would make this dream come true, even in this world, his own love for Zheng Qin Qin Qin is just a stranger, and he wants to get Zheng Qin again.
Zheng Qinneng can bow down twice under his sweatpants once.
As the saying goes, as long as you work hard, a straight man can be broken into a paper clip.
Regarding the matter of Zheng Qin, Tao Jia has always been a man of action. He went straight to the airport when he came out of Ming Nan's apartment, and even bought the air ticket in the car.
His purpose was very clear, the first stop was City A, he was going to go back to the apartment where they lived to find someone.But when he got there, he found that in this world, Zheng Qin didn't live there, and he didn't even own the apartment.
He went to the company where Zheng Qin worked again, but soon his wish came true again.He found the company where Zheng Qin worked, but after asking around, everyone said that there was no one named Zheng Qin in their company.
He stayed in City A for three days, and searched almost every corner of the city, but Zheng Qin seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, no matter how much he dug the ground, he couldn't find any trace of him.
Tao Jia finally returned without success.But he didn't feel lost for too long, and he soon cheered up again. This time he went to Nancheng.He went to Zheng Qin's house. Fortunately, the house did not change hands this time, but it was already empty.
"This family moved abroad seven years ago." The neighbor who lived next door saw him lingering in front of the door for a long time, and kindly reminded him.
Tao Jia hurriedly asked, "Did you go to the Netherlands?"
"Yes, the owner of this family is Dutch. He heard that the old man is not in good health, so he went back to take care of him."
"Did all four members of the family go? Where's his eldest son?"
"They all went, the whole family went back to the Netherlands, and his eldest son also went back."
There was a thunderbolt above his head, and for a moment, Tao Jia felt that the world had lost its luster.If Zheng Qin was still in the country, then he must be confident that he can find him, but now, the target range has suddenly shifted to foreign countries, so how can he find him?This is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.
The last hope was also shattered, and Tao Jia returned to City A in despair, never in such a desperate mood as at this moment.
However, things that made him collapse followed one after another.
That day, during dinner at night, Wang Meili brought up the topic of blind dates again, and asked him: "Do you have time tomorrow? Your Aunt Liu wants to arrange for you to meet her niece, and she has already agreed."
Tao Jia lost her appetite in an instant, put down her chopsticks, and looked at his mother seriously: "Mom, stop messing around, I told you earlier that I would not meet."
Wang Meili didn't give up: "I just asked you to meet, and you don't have to be in a relationship. Besides, all the girls have agreed. How rude it is for you to refuse."
Tao Jia frowned and said nothing.
Wang Meili said it in a good voice, but Tao Jia didn't listen to a word, and she lost her temper all of a sudden, threw away her chopsticks and said with a cold face: "Don't be stubborn, Tao Jia also figured it out for me, You are already 27, you are almost 30 years old, and you still think you are in your early twenties. When people introduce you with good intentions, you can pick and choose, and don’t look at yourself. The old lady licked her face and gave you Ask who the girl is for?"
Tao Jia frowned tightly, and was offended by Wang Meili's insult, but since the other party was an elder, she kept holding back and didn't attack.
Wang Meili saw that he refused to accept him, so she slapped the table angrily, and directly issued an ultimatum: "I tell you, if you don't go tomorrow, you have to go, and you must meet this face!"
Tao Jia couldn't bear it anymore, and finally broke out, raising her voice and said: "I said I won't go! You have to go by yourself!" After speaking, he turned his head and entered the room, and the door closed to isolate Wang Meili's cursing. at the door.
Just as he was upset, Ming Nan called again, asking him where he had been a few days ago.Tao Jia held back her breath and explained a few words.Ming Nan didn't delve into it, and quickly chatted about other things, and then turned to work.
"By the way, our company has just spent a lot of money to recruit a financial analyst from overseas. I heard that he is very smart. He has been a top student since he was a child, but his personality is a bit cold. Coincidentally, his name is also Zheng Qin. He is the same as you in your dream. The object of the same name, but this is a man."
Ming Nan originally just talked about this new colleague as a fun thing, but Tao Jia suddenly became excited: "What did you say his name is?!"
"Zheng Qin." Ming Nan repeated blankly, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Tao Jia's hands were trembling with excitement, he forced himself to calm down, and carefully checked: "Which Qin?"
"I admire you." Ming Nan became a little nervous, "Jiajia, what's wrong with you? Why is your breathing so heavy? Are you sick?"
Tao Jia bit her tongue and said, "I'm fine, just a little excited. Nan'er, do you know where he is now?"
"He's still in the company. I just met him in the tea room..." Before he could finish speaking, a busy tone came from the receiver.
"I'm so surprised, I don't know what I'm excited about." Ming Nan muttered, put away his phone, and returned his attention to work.
Twenty minutes later, Tao Jia called again, telling him that he was downstairs in their company.Surprised and puzzled, Ming Nan went downstairs to pick him up with a stomach full of question marks.
"Why did you come here so well?"
Tao Jia was so excited that he asked eagerly, "Where is that new colleague you mentioned? Take me to meet him."
Ming Nan was surprised: "You know him?"
"In a sense, it's an acquaintance." Tao Jia didn't have time to explain, but kept urging, "These are not the most important, you take me to see him first."
For some reason, Ming Nan also became agitated, and took Tao Jia to Zheng Qin's office in a daze, only to be missed.
"Where are people!" Tao Jia looked at the dark room and couldn't help raising the volume.
Ming Nan was also puzzled: "He was here not long ago, and he left so soon?"
At this time, a colleague happened to pass by and explained: "You just left before you came here. If you chase now, you may still be able to catch up."
After finishing speaking, Tao Jia ran back.Run to the elevator room at the fastest speed, only one of the four elevators is going down, and you have already reached the eighth floor, don't think it must be Zheng Qin!Tao Jia didn't have time to wait for the elevator, so he directly chose to take the stairs.
With a height of ten floors, Tao Jia did not dare to stop.The weather in August was already very sweltering, and Tao Jia was already sweating profusely after running to the tenth floor, but he didn't even have time to wipe off his sweat, so he ran to the elevator again.The elevator arrived just then.The elevator door opened slowly, Tao Jia held his breath and stared at the door without blinking.
The door finally opened completely, and Tao Jia finally saw the person he was thinking of.
This scene is very similar to the first time I saw it.
He's in the elevator, and he's standing outside the elevator.It's just that the original white shirt and sneakers have now been replaced by suit leather shoes; that exquisite and flawless face is a bit more mature than in memory, only the indifferent eyes are exactly the same as back then.
Suddenly, Tao Jia's nose turned sore, he opened his mouth to make a sound, but his throat was sore.
"Zheng Qin."
The voices were shaking.
Undoubtedly excited to see Zheng Qin again, the corners of Tao Jia's eyes were red, and he was about to lift his feet in to hug his lover, but he heard his lover's cold and emotionless voice slowly.
"Sir, do we know each other?"
All the excitement came to an abrupt end, and the tears were withdrawn in an instant. Tao Jia stared at him blankly, realizing that to Zheng Qin in this world, he was just an irrelevant stranger.
Zheng Qin got out of the elevator, paused in front of him for a while, saw that he didn't answer for a long time, and walked out again.Tao Jia put away her sorrowful emotions, strode after him, and explained nervously: "I, I know you, but you don't know me."
Zheng Qin stopped again, turned around, and waited quietly for him to continue.
Tao Jia cleared his throat, grabbed the hem of his clothes nervously, and rolled his eyes around: "My name is Tao Jia, and I'm Ji Xu's childhood friend. I often hear him mention you. I heard that you came to U City, so please I'll take care of it."
In fact, he didn't know whether Ji Xu knew about Zheng Qin's coming to work in U City, he was gambling.Fortunately, he was right.After Zheng Qin heard that he was Ji Xu's child, his expression became milder, and he nodded to him as a greeting.
Tao Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a smile on his face.He said: "You must not be familiar with this place when you first came to U City. Let me treat you to dinner. After all, I am also the host. Since I am Ji Xu's friend, I should do my best as a landlord."
Zheng Qin refused.
This was also expected by Tao Jia, after all, with Zheng Qin's withdrawn personality, it would be better to be hungry if he had to eat at the same table with a stranger.But it was not easy to meet him, Tao Jia didn't want to give up, so he started to torture people.
"Must, Ji Xu's friend is my friend, this meal must be invited. And this is what Ji Xu meant, so don't refuse."
Zheng Qin remained unmoved.
"Go ahead, just have a meal, it won't take you too long." Tao Jia continued to grind.
Zheng Qin's complexion began to look gloomy, and he became a little impatient.
Tao Jia was also a little anxious. In the chaos, he didn't know where to go. He habitually hugged Zheng Qin's arm, shook it flatteringly, and said coquettishly in a soft and soft voice: "Zheng Qin, go ahead and count me in." I beg you."
Whether it was this action or the tone of his speech, it was Tao Jia's subconscious move.After all, he used to use this trick to force Zheng Qin to submit when he was begging for mercy or asking for benefits.And Zheng Qin would never last two rounds before losing.It's just that Zheng Qin is not his boyfriend now.
Facing the coquettish Tao Jia, Zheng Qin's iceberg face cracked obviously for the first time, and there was even a look of panic in his eyes.Perhaps it was the first time he was being acted like a baby by a strange man shaking his arm, he was so shocked that he forgot to push him away in the first place.And just these few seconds of dazedness were enough to make Tao Jia hit the snake with the stick and shake his arm even more vigorously.He looked at him with drooping corners of his eyes and pursed mouth, not to mention how pitiful he was.
If this expression was done by another man, Zheng Qin would have knocked him away with a punch, but Tao Jia made it, but it didn't violate harmony at all, and it didn't feel disgusting, and it was really distressing.Therefore, under Tao Jia's soft and hard paving, he finally succumbed.
Tao Jia was overjoyed, fearing that he would return to the cabin again, and hurriedly dragged him out of the company building.
"I know there is a very good private restaurant near here, with light taste, you will definitely like it. And it's not far from the company, just a 10-minute walk." Tao Jia actually came by car, but in order to be able to talk to Zheng Qin After getting along for a while, he decided to walk.
Zheng Qin didn't speak all the way.And Tao Jia was also rarely left alone.In the past, even if Zheng Qin didn't say a word, he could keep talking about a stand-up comic by himself.But at that time, he was able to be unscrupulous because he knew that Zheng Qin doted on him, even if he didn't speak, he looked at him with gentle eyes.It's just that now, those light-colored pupils are left with nothing but indifference, and when they look at him, apart from being alienated, they can't find any warmth.So he didn't dare to be presumptuous.
The atmosphere was silent and filled with embarrassment.
In this awkward atmosphere, the two arrived at their destination.Tao Jia specially asked for a private room, sat down and ordered seven or eight dishes from the menu.
After ordering, he warned again: "Don't add spicy food to all dishes, and seasoning is not acceptable. My friend is allergic to chili peppers and can't smell spicy."
Zheng Qin raised his head and glanced at him. In fact, he was a little surprised when he ordered.Because Tao Jia ordered these dishes that he usually prefers to eat.Later, he didn't expect that he even knew that he was allergic to chili peppers.
He was a little puzzled, and began to re-examine Tao Jia.Why does this strange man in front of him know him so well?Obviously they met for the first time today.
Tao Jia has been with him for nearly ten years, and he knows him better than the roundworm in his stomach. With just a frown, he understood his doubts, took a sip of ice water calmly, and explained: "You are allergic to chili peppers. It was Ji Xu who told me."
Zheng Qin asked him: "Are you familiar with Ji Xu?"
Tao Jia scratched his face, and told the truth: "Ji Xu lived in U City for a few years when he was a child, and he was my neighbor." As for whether he was familiar with him, he didn't say if he was familiar with Ji Xu in that world. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are like brothers and sisters.But in this world, he didn't even know where Ji Xu was now, and he didn't dare to say too much for fear of making mistakes.
He was also worried that Zheng Qin would grab Ji Xu for questioning, so he quickly took the initiative and changed the subject: "Are you married?"
Zheng Qin: "..."
It's just obvious that he turned the topic a little badly, so badly that Zheng Qin fell silent.
Tao Jia observed his expression and answered for him: "No end."
Zheng Qin: "..."
"Is there an object?"
Zheng Qin: "..."
"Not yet?" Tao Jia was secretly delighted, patted his chest, and whispered to himself, "Then I can rest assured."
If Zheng Qin in this world is already married or has a partner, then he really doesn't know what to do. It is immoral to force a foot in, but he is not reconciled to giving his lover away for nothing.He was relieved to know that he was still alone.
The meal was quite harmonious. Although Zheng Qin only said less than ten sentences, Tao Jia was quite satisfied.After dinner, the two returned to the company. Hearing that Zheng Qin hadn't prepared a car yet, Tao Jia volunteered to take him home.
Zheng Qin had seen Tao Jia's grinding skills before, knowing that he couldn't refuse, he didn't waste his words, and fell into his car.
Not to mention how beautiful Tao Jia was, he felt that his relationship with Zheng Qin had taken another step, so after sending him home, he made further progress and asked for contact information.
"Let's add a friend on WeChat. You can contact me in the future if you need anything. I'll be there for you." Tao Jia flashed out a business card with a QR code.
Zheng Qin glanced at him expressionlessly, and finally took out his phone to scan.
Tao Jia added a friend, but when he clicked on the profile picture, he felt a bit disappointed.Zheng Qin has two WeChat accounts, one is a personal account and the other is a work account, and he added a work account.From the looks of it, it was just his wishful thinking that the relationship went further.He didn't poke it, just asked, "Can I find you at night?"
Zheng Qin hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
But in the end, Tao Jia didn't dare to look for it, and there was nothing else in the chat interface except the system's greeting.
Wang Meili still pursues Tao Jia's blind date, and keeps talking about the meeting in his ear every day.Tao Jia had no choice but to agree to meet.But his purpose of going is also very clear, that is to explain clearly to the girl.
The meeting place was decided by the woman, at a coffee shop near her company.The meeting process was quite harmonious. The girl was obviously very satisfied with Tao Jia, and she looked shy from the moment she saw him.
Unfortunately, getting used to seeing Zheng Qin's face, no matter how good-looking other people are, Tao Jia has no desire to appreciate it.So after only chatting for a few words, he made it clear: "Miss Liu, in fact, I came to meet you today to make it clear to you that I already have someone I like, so don't waste your time on me."
Ms. Liu was a little disappointed, but she nodded understandingly and said, "May I take the liberty to ask who is the person you like?"
"This...uh..." Tao Jia was speechless.
"If it's inconvenient, I won't say it, I was the one to be rude." Ms. Liu was very considerate.
The blind date ended in less than 10 minutes. Tao Jia settled the bill and was about to send Ms. Liu back to the company.As a result, the two ran into Zheng Qin head-on just as they walked out of the coffee shop.
Zheng Qin was also a little surprised, first glanced at Tao Jia, then at Miss Liu.
Reflexively, Tao Jia raised his hand and hurriedly explained: "It's not what you think, we're not on a blind date!"
Zheng Qin was puzzled: "Why do you have to explain it to me?"
Tao Jia slowly lowered her hands and scratched her hair in embarrassment.
Damn it, being suppressed for too long has become a conditioned reflex.
And after Miss Liu's eyes lingered on the two of them for a while, she suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.
"I probably understand. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone." Ms. Liu winked at Tao Jia.
"Huh?" Before Tao Jia could react, he subconsciously glanced at Zheng Qin.
Ms. Liu smiled without saying a word, pulled her broken hair behind her ears, and smiled gently: "Then I won't bother you, goodbye."
Ms. Liu left gracefully, leaving behind the bewildered Tao Jia and the extremely innocent Zheng Qin.
Tao Jia wiped his face and looked at Zheng Qin seriously: "Listen to my explanation."
Zheng Qin shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary, I'm just here to buy coffee."
"Then I invite you!" Tao Jia raised his hand.
Zheng Qin wanted to say no, but Tao Jia had already run back to the coffee shop to order.He had no choice but to keep up.
Soon the waiter brought two cups of American coffee, and Tao Jia looked at Zheng Qin with a smile on his chin: "I ordered the American coffee you like."
Zheng Qin was not in a hurry to drink, leaning on the back of the chair and looking at him with arms folded: "I contacted Ji Xu yesterday."
Tao Jia's smile froze on his face.
Zheng Qin didn't seem to see his broken expression at the moment, and continued to speak slowly: "He said he did have a friend named Tao Jia, but he hadn't contacted him for more than [-] years, and he never asked anyone to take care of me."
Tao Jia didn't dare to look at Zheng Qin's expression at all at this time, and lowered his head to drink coffee.
Zheng Qin took a sip of coffee and said lightly: "Tell me, why are you trying so hard to get close to me?"
The coffee was very bitter, but it was far less bitter than what Tao Jia felt at the moment.Zheng Qin was still waiting for his explanation, but he didn't know what to say, his lips murmured for a while and still didn't utter a word.
Finally ready for a showdown, Zheng Qin suddenly stood up again, looked down at him and said, "It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, but I don't think we need to meet again in the future."
Tao Jia watched helplessly as he left the store, tried to catch up but couldn't move his legs no matter what, wanted to make a sound to stop him but couldn't make a sound.He was sweating profusely.
Hurry up!Move your body quickly!
……
Tao Jia opened his eyes suddenly, his forehead was covered with cold sweat.Panting heavily, he stared blankly at the ceiling, trying to turn over, but his arms felt soft warmth.He sat up suddenly, stared at the person beside him in disbelief, and looked around the room again.
Two-meter bed with floor-to-ceiling windows, oranges and soft drinks.
Tao Jia wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and suddenly laughed.
Fortunately it was just a dream.
He lay back beside Zheng Qin, felt dissatisfied after lying down for a while, then hugged the human bear with his hands and feet together, rubbing his head against his shoulder.
Zheng Qin also woke up after all this tossing, turned over and hugged him, put his right hand on the back of his head and stroked gently, and asked in a hoarse voice: "What's wrong?"
Tao Jia closed her eyes and muttered, "I had a nightmare."
"What did you dream about?"
"I dreamed that you didn't know me anymore, and you suspected that I approached you for other purposes. Not only did you block me, but I was also not allowed to look for you again."
Zheng Qin sighed lightly, rubbed his hair and said helplessly, "I've been thinking about something all day long."
Tao Jia pouted: "I miss you, what else can I think about."
Zheng Qin chuckled silently: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."
Tao Jia squeezed into his arms: "Then hold me tighter, I'm afraid you'll disappear again when I wake up."
According to Zheng Qin's words, he hugged him even closer and kissed his forehead: "Go to sleep."
Tao Jia smiled slightly, and after a while, her breathing became long again.Zheng Qin watched quietly for a while and then closed his eyes.
The air conditioner in the room was humming. On the bed, there were two young people embracing each other and falling asleep. At the end of the bed lay a gray-blue kitten, with its stomach curled up and down, sleeping soundly. Under the bed was a half-person-high golden retriever. At this moment, he was sleeping soundly with his tongue out.
The minute hand passed round and round silently, the sun gradually rose, and the dazzling sunlight also brought scorching heat.
Have a great weekend, it’s okay to be lazy for a while~
