Hidden Summer

13

The author has something to say: Mom opened the skylight!Yesterday afternoon, two friends brought their one-year-old baby over to play. It was raining this afternoon, and the two brats took turns to torment the adults. They didn’t have time to use their brains to code words. Their minds were full of greatness! ! ! ! QQ

When I got home, I was so sore that I didn’t look like my own, so I opened the skylight tragically. There may still be windows today and tomorrow. Friends who can’t stand it can come back in two days~

On Friday night, Cao Liyu walked the road outside for two hours, sat on the overpass and smoked three or four cigarettes, and found a small hotel for the night at one o'clock in the morning.Before he ran out of the community, his phone rang once, but he ignored it; it rang again in a few minutes, and Cao Liyu just glanced at Li Hang's name and hung up the phone without thinking.

The next day, after much thought, Cao Liyu called his colleague with the best relationship in the company to stay overnight.This colleague is a native of City B and lives not far from the company, so he readily agreed to let Cao Liyu go to his house to spend some time with him.However, as soon as Cao Liyu entered his house and saw the other's old parents and the younger sister who had returned home during the summer vacation from college, he felt embarrassed to stay for a long time.

Cao Liyu didn't turn on his mobile phone all day on Sunday. He went out to buy some daily necessities and a change of clothes, and wandered around aimlessly for another day.It wasn't until I went to work at the company on Monday that I saw several new text messages when I turned on the phone.

—— Liyu, where are you?

——Li Yu, can you call me back?I am worried about you.

—— Liyu, I know you are angry, when you are gone, can we have a good talk when we go home?

——Li Yu, you won't come back, will you?Do you hate us so much?

——Li Yu, I won't force you to come back. When you get over your anger, can you call me back?

Cao Liyu could completely imagine Xiao Yu's expression when he sent these text messages, worried, anxious, and helpless.But he didn't reply and started to work step by step.At noon, Xiao Yu called again, but Cao Liyu hung up.Call again, hang up again.After hanging up three times, the phone completely quieted down.

The day passed quickly, and when the clock reached five o'clock, Cao Liyu's cell phone rang again.Normally, no one would call him to talk about work matters during off-duty hours, and Cao Liyu almost hung up on the remaining possibilities.

Fortunately, Cao Liyu saw the word "Xu Zhiyuan" out of the corner of his eye. He swiped his finger on the screen and turned in an emergency direction, and answered the phone: "Xu Zhiyuan? Are you back from a business trip?"

The deep voice of the other party came through the distance and the handset of the mobile phone: "Yes, are you free after get off work today? I'm here to fulfill my promise and take you to taste wine."

"Okay, I just want to find someone to drink. Can I meet downstairs at my company at 05:30?"

"No problem, bye."

"bye."

Half an hour later, Cao Liyu saw Xu Zhiyuan thoughtfully throwing a silver lighter downstairs in the company.Cao Liyu stepped forward to say hello, glanced at the lighter in Xu Zhiyuan's palm, and smiled slightly: "Are you addicted to cigarettes?"

City B is the first city in the country to implement a comprehensive ban on smoking in public places. Nowadays, only smoking areas are allowed in public places. This has indeed forced some smokers to restrain their cravings.

Xu Zhiyuan smiled, put the lighter into his coat pocket, and tilted his head to signal the two to leave: "It's just a habit, let's go."

"What's the matter? You seem to be absent-minded." Xu Zhiyuan tapped the rim of the glass with his index finger and asked inquiringly.

"I'm sorry," it's really not something to be proud of when others are talking to you, "I didn't have a good rest."

"You said that you want to find someone to drink today. What's on your mind? I, the drinker, is sitting next to you. You are welcome to vent to me." Xu Zhiyuan raised his glass and touched the cup in Cao Liyu's hand, and took a sip with a smile .

"Thank you." Cao Liyu thanked him sincerely.

After leaving Li Hang and Xiao Yu, Cao Liyu suddenly realized that he was just a stranger in this city, at a loss as to where to go.It was only at this time that he realized that he had been protected so well that he could enjoy life without distraction.

Now he can't go back to those two close friends who he trusted completely, he can only find spiritual support in the streets full of luxury and money.That's why he thought of using alcohol, and at the same time, Xu Zhiyuan's appearance also gave him a hand.No matter how others evaluate this person, no matter how Li Hang and Xiao Yu advise him to stay away from this person, Cao Liyu has sincerely identified this person as a friend.

Therefore, Cao Liyu only hesitated a little, and then confessed his inner troubles: "It's not a big deal, and you might feel childish if you say it. I just quarreled with my friends."

"Arguing? With your cohabitant? Why?" Xu Zhiyuan's tone was a little surprised.

"Hmm... It's more complicated. To put it simply, I feel like I've been tricked."

"Really...?" Xu Zhiyuan squinted his eyes and glanced at Cao Liyu's dejected and self-deprecating expression, showing a playful smile.

This result surprised him a little.Although Xu Zhiyuan deliberately induced Cao Liyu to break the relationship between Li Hang and Xiao Yu, his original intention was to use Cao Liyu to tease Li Hang.Based on what he knew about Cao Liyu, he thought that Cao Liyu would be surprised at most, and he would accept the relationship between Li Hang and Xiao Yu in a short time.He didn't expect Cao Liyu to be hit hard.It seems that the truth is more complicated and interesting than I imagined.

Cao Liyu scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled wryly: "I ran away from home because of a quarrel with my friends, I'm afraid I'm an extremely childish kid in your eyes?"

"Hehe, you can't generalize, you should analyze the specific situation. No one likes the feeling of being played by others, right?"

"...Thank you for understanding." Cao Liyu smiled gratifiedly at Xu Zhiyuan. Although the smile was bright, there was still a little cloud lingering.

"So where do you live now?"

"Live at my colleague's house."

"convenient?"

"What else can I do if I stay at someone else's house? Although I am very embarrassed to his family, I still have to find a place to stay temporarily. However, maybe I will be able to adjust my mood and go back to live soon."

"...I live alone, in a one-bedroom holiday apartment, do you want to join me? The sofa in the living room is looking forward to your body temperature."

"Forget it, whoever lives there will have to trouble others, thank you."

"Go live with me. It's much more convenient for two people. If you treat me as a friend, don't be polite."

"This……"

"That's it, cheers!"

Seeing that Cao Liyu was hesitant, Xu Zhiyuan directly helped him make a decision, raised his glass, touched Cao Liyu's cup, and drank the nectar at the bottom of the cup.Cao Liyu waited for Xu Zhiyuan to put down his glass before realizing that he was decided to stay with a friend he had only known for more than a month.But thinking of the attitudes of the people around him towards Xu Zhiyuan, Cao Liyu, who had always been rebellious and protective, suddenly felt that Xu Zhiyuan couldn't live with him.

Thinking of this, he also raised his glass with a smile and drank it down.

The two left the blues bar before nine o'clock.Cao Liyu considered that he was renting at someone else's house after all, and the other's family members were there, so he didn't dare to drink to his heart's content, so he proposed to end tonight's party early.Because Cao Liyu had a good conversation with Xu Zhiyuan, he still walked to the side of the road to take a taxi with his arms around his shoulders, talking and laughing.

"Then pack up your things tonight, and I'll drive to the company tomorrow and pick you up after get off work." Xu Zhiyuan instructed carefully.

"My things can be packed in a bag, and I don't need to drive here. But you can rent a holiday apartment by yourself, and you even have a car. It's really hidden~"

"Just luck."

Xu Zhiyuan answered lightly, looked up and was about to reach out to hail a car, but in the next second he quietly put his arm around Cao Liyu's waist, then leaned close to his ear, and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?" Is it okay to walk by yourself? My steps seem a little unsteady."

Cao Liyu waved his hand smartly: "No problem, no problem, what can I do with such a little wine? Don't worry about it."

Xu Zhiyuan smiled gently, and naturally reached out to rub Cao Liyu's hair.

However, just as he touched Cao Liyu's short but unexpectedly soft hair, his wrist was strangled by a white, slender hand with well-defined knuckles.Xu Zhiyuan smiled faintly and raised his head to meet the gloomy and angry eyes of the other party, raising one eyebrow to silently declare his innocence.

It's a pity that this expression was clearly provocative in Li Hang's eyes.

The two just looked at each other without speaking for a moment, but Cao Liyu stood up straight and said with a cloudy expression: "Li Hang, why are you here?"

Li Hang immediately shifted his attention to Cao Liyu, staring at him with black bright eyes and said, "It's nothing, it's just a coincidence." It seems that he will touch Cao Liyu more.

Before Cao Liyu said anything, Xu Zhiyuan flipped his wrist to shake off Li Hang's restraint, and once again put his hand on Cao Liyu's shoulder facing the other party's black eyes that seemed to be shining with dark flames: "It's a coincidence that we are together It's not uncommon to run into each other while drinking on the street."

Li Hang gave Xu Zhiyuan a hard look, then ignored him and continued to look into Cao Liyu's eyes: "When are you coming back? Xiao Yu is worried to death."

Cao Liyu turned his face to avoid Li Hang's straight gaze: "I don't know."

Li Hang frowned: "Everyone is not a child, it's enough. If we are wrong, you should not punish us in this way."

Cao Liyu raised his face when he heard the words, gritted his teeth and said in a muffled voice, "Where am I punishing you? I'm obviously punishing myself!"

"Then it's enough for you to punish yourself. Should we come back and have a good talk?"

"You say enough is enough?! What is my position? Li Hang, don't always be so self-righteous!"

"Okay, you still need time, then you should at least tell us where you live now, so as not to worry us."

"I live in..." Cao Liyu hesitated for a moment.

"He lives in my house." Xu Zhiyuan answered the words calmly, with an old god's smile on his face, and the atmosphere suddenly fell to the bottom.

Cao Liyu stared at his toes in embarrassment, as if looking for a crack in the ground to get into.He didn't dare to look at Li Hang's face now, because that guy should have turned blue from his anger, right?But on second thought, what does this have to do with Li Hang?I can't still lose my momentum just because I blindly trusted Li Hang in the past.Thinking of this, Cao Liyu straightened his back, but his eyes were still fixed on Li Hang's chin and refused to move up.

The three of them were at a stalemate when the door of a black car on the opposite side of the road opened. Liang Dong got out of the car and leaned against the door, calling out to Li Hang: "Li Hang, no matter what happens, don't chase after me. Give me a little help." Let Cao have some breathing room. You are right, everyone is not a child anymore, and Xiao Cao has his own worries in his heart, and nothing will happen." When Liang Dong said the following words, his eyes did not look at Li Hang or Cao Liyu. , but landed on Xu Zhiyuan's face.

In fact, if someone devotes all his energy to observe Xu Zhiyuan carefully at this time, he will find that although he smiles cynically, there is no trace of joking in his eyes looking back at Liang Dong, but instead reveals what can be called gentle emotions.

Li Hang stopped talking, but he also refused to leave.

Cao Liyu clenched his fist secretly, and finally met Li Hang's eyes: "You go, I will go back when I think it through."

Li Hang's expression couldn't be seen clearly under the dim light, but his voice was surprisingly flat and blunt: "Okay, you remember what you just said, and you will come back when you think it through."

After speaking, Li Hang simply turned his head across the road and walked towards Liang Dong, leaving only Cao Liyu with a back that was as tall and straight as a benchmark, making people feel worthy of relying on.
