I build a magpie bridge for my current

Chapter 9

In fact, Yi Chen was very efficient in his work. He stayed in a hotel on the night of the breakup, and he was already on his way to look at the house after get off work the next day.That's right, he can still go to work normally, without him, the group of freshly graduated interns under him may have all kinds of unexpected mistakes.

During the day, he received a call from Huo Xilin.He said on the phone that he wanted to meet and talk.

Yi Chen refused, and casually stated his plan to go to see the house.

Staying in a hotel is not a long-term solution.

Huo Xilin followed suit and wanted to go with him.

It seemed that there was something to say, and based on the principle of solving the mess as soon as possible, Yi Chen agreed.

They were at the gate of the community of the second house.Horsey Lin was wearing a T-shirt and casual shorts, looking clean and smiling.

"Brother Chen." He still called, "Is the landlord here?"

"En." Yi Chen nodded, and after a while, a car drove up. The landlord was a warm and cheerful middle-aged elder brother. After getting out of the car, he recognized Yi Chen who was in contact with him.

He took Yi Chen and Huo Xilin to see the house together.

One bedroom, one living room, hardcover, very clean.It's near the subway, the price is moderate, and it's fully equipped. It's much better than the old neighborhood before.

"The water heater and washing machine are all good." The landlord brother said, "I can fix anything that is broken, and if it can't be repaired, I will replace it for you."

Yi Chen hummed.

The landlord brother asked: "I can't tell who you are from your accent. You rented a house because you came out to work?"

Yi Chen has some savings over the years, bought a house in his hometown, and is still repaying the loan.It wasn't until he really started thinking about renting that he realized that he had been slacking off for too long.Accustomed to living a comfortable life, even renting a house requires hardcover, Yi Chen laughed at himself.

But he really can't stand a dirty bathroom.Compared to the last home, this one couldn't have been better.

"Not a local." Yi Chen replied.

With his salary, how can he afford a house? He is indeed an ordinary person, in two worlds with Zhou Jing.

The landlord went out to make a phone call, and during the private conversation, Huo Xilin said to Yi Chen, "Or this is it, I think it's good. When I'm in my senior year, I'll come and help you share the rent, Brother Chen."

"..." Yi Chen couldn't understand his brain circuit, "You want to live with me, why?"

"...I also have to find a house." Obviously, he knew that he would ask such a question, and Huo Xilin was well prepared.

Yi Chen said, "A bedroom."

Huo Xilin: "I sleep on the sofa."

Yi Chen: "..." He simply stopped talking.

When the landlord came back, Yi Chen discussed the price with him, and finally got five hundred cheaper.He didn't procrastinate any longer, agreed on a date to sign the contract, and paid the deposit.

In the evening, Yi Chen randomly found a noodle shop, and sat down with Huo Xilin to talk face to face.

Huo Xilin said: "Brother Chen, I swear I don't know the relationship between you and Zhou Jing. Really, how are you... how are you doing now?"

Yi Chen said frankly, "We broke up."

Huo Xilin's eyes suddenly lit up, covering up the excitement that was about to overflow, and he said regretfully, "Ah..."

Yi Chen originally wanted to say "it has nothing to do with you", but it was Huo Xilin's appearance that pointed out some long-standing problems between him and Zhou Jing.

So he said, "It's over."

"Zhou Jing and I met in my brother's bar." Huo Xilin said, "At first he asked me to go to his company and watch me play, I thought he was nice and wanted to make friends with me. I didn't know until yesterday that he wanted to..." It was hard to say those two words, Huo Xilin blushed, "He is too contemptuous of people, think I can agree for that little money?"

At this time, Yi Chen no longer cared about the truth of Huo Xilin's words.Zhou Jing wanted to keep Huo Xilin, and it was indeed something he could do.Zhou Jing has been used to going smoothly since he was a child, and he will definitely get what he wants, even if others don't give it to him, he will work hard.

It's okay, Yi Chen doesn't speak.

"He doesn't treat you well at all." Huo Xilin's eyes were a little red, seeing Yi Chen's downcast expression, he felt scratched.I wanted to say it now, but I was afraid that my friends would not be able to do it after I finished speaking. After struggling for a long time, I lowered my head and said, as pitiful as a complaint, "He still treats me like that."

As if coming to him to complain, Yi Chen raised his lips. Now that he can't control Zhou Jing, he can't apologize to him for Zhou Jing.

"Be careful in the future." Thinking of Zhou Jing's furious appearance yesterday, he was afraid that Huo Xilin would be implicated by the anger for no reason.

"That's right!" Huo Xilin suddenly realized, "Brother Chen, do you think he will blame me for all this, maybe even say that I seduced him? What if he troubles me? I'm scared."

According to his understanding of Zhou Jing, to a large extent he would.Yi Chen couldn't bear to tell Huo Xilin this fact, so he could only say, "Be careful and call the police if something happens."

"Why am I so unlucky." Huo Xilin wailed in a half-joking tone, "It's not my birth year either."

If you think about it casually, you also know that Huo Xilin is not a scheming mistress, otherwise you can't still be like this at this time.His behavior was so strange that Yi Chen couldn't see clearly.

He said a few words of comfort in a mild manner, and finally said: "I will never have anything to do with him in the future. I don't want to mention the past, and you don't want to talk about it. Of course, the number of times we meet in the future will be reduced, and even No."

"Why?" Being rejected by Yi Chen's blunt indifference, Huo Xilin looked pitiful again.

So familiar.

At this time, Yi Chen looked at Huo Xilin as if he was looking at a younger version of Zhou Jing, so similar.

No one is better at pretending to be pitiful and pretending to be confused than they are.

"Be considerate of each other, I don't want to be involved with the past anymore, you will always remind me of these things."

Zhou Jing is right, Yi Chen is a very cold person in his heart, he can calmly say goodbye, he can calmly reject Zhou Jing countless times, and he can say such words to Huo Xilin who just met, even in front of them s eyes.

It was precisely these indifferences that became the hard armor protecting Yi Chen, so that he did not show the slightest bit of distress when he left.

"Then it's fine if you don't think about it." Huo Xilin thought very simply. He knew that he liked Yi Chen and this big brother, and it wasn't admiration or admiration. Everything could be reduced to two simple words, thinking "X He", just wanted to have something happen with him, and it continued to happen.

He knew that Yi Chen was Zhou Jing's lover...or a cohabiting boyfriend, whatever. That day in Zhou Jing's office, he saw Yi Chen's WeChat message, and he spoke softly, and he could read clearly through the text.

Could it be that he can get such tenderness when he is as good as Zhou Jing, or walks into Yi Chen's heart instead of him.

Seeing Yi Chen's insistence, Huo Xilin had no choice but to retreat, "Then we won't see each other anymore, can we still keep in touch? Brother Chen, I want to play games with you, but last time I didn't have a good time... and recently Updated with new events."

"...Okay." Yi Chen thought for a while before agreeing.

Huo Xilin let out a long breath.

so far so good.

He still has a chance.

He and Yi Chen still have countless possibilities.

Go back to each house at night.

Huo Xilin wanted to ask Yichen to play a game, and when he sent him a WeChat message, he suddenly saw a red exclamation mark.

"!!!"

How can this be deceiving!

For the first time, Huo Xilin, who has no deep experience in the world, has experienced the cunning of adults.

Beat the bed endlessly.

In the hotel room, after blocking Huo Xilin, Yi Chen opened Zhou Jing's business card.

Zhou Jing changed his profile picture to Alaska, which was raised by him and Zhou Jing, but it was a pity that he got sick and died in the end.

After a while, Zhou Jing's profile picture changed again to his photo, which should have been taken last year.

Immediately afterwards, Yi Chen watched the whole process of Zhou Jing changing his avatar.

A corner of the study, succulents, a small garden at home, Zhou Jing's signature, the abbreviation of his favorite team, the national flag...

In the end, I changed back to the selfie when I was wearing formal clothes.

Formal, clear and recognizable.

Seeing how calm and composed he was facing the camera, Yi Chen inexplicably thought of the time when he took Zhou Jing to take ID photos.

……

After the accidental kiss after drinking, Zhou Jing and Yi Chen were embarrassed for a while, and finally the relationship gradually eased.During the day, Zhou Jing sent a message to Yi Chen, asking him to pick him up at night. The school needs to hand over his ID photo, and he doesn't have a new one yet, so he needs to change it.

Yi Chen readily agreed.

At the school gate, Yi Chen stood and waited for someone. Because of his tall, thin and clean appearance, he attracted a lot of attention. Some beautiful girls even came to ask for their mobile numbers!

He was rarely asked for his contact information when he was in college, but he did not expect to meet him at the gate of high school.Yi Chen didn't know how to respond, but only heard a cold sentence from the side, "He won't give it."

There are very few people in the school who don't know Zhou Jing. Seeing him appear, the girls are a little embarrassed, turn around and leave.Zhou Jing looked at Yi Chen with a gloomy face, thinking in her heart, it really attracts bees and butterflies, so I don't feel at ease anywhere!Lang Lang Lang Lang is dead!

It seemed that it was a cloudy day again, and Yi Chen basically didn't speak along the way. When he arrived at the photo studio, he didn't know why the clerk got angry with Zhou Jing, so he got up and was about to leave.

Yi Chen went to Shunmao.

Zhou Jing: "No more."

"Just take a picture." The styling is done, and it's just a one-shot thing. It's not worth leaving now.

Zhou Jing looked at Yi Chen, was defeated by Yi Chen's calm gaze, and sat back on the stool with anger. After taking the photo, he called Yi Chen ferociously, and said to the photographer, "Take a picture for us." .”

The photographer had never heard of such a request, but in order not to annoy this wayward young master, he asked someone to make a model for Yi Chen.When Yi Chen sits next to Zhou Jing in a daze, and there is a flash of light, it will be fine.

In the photo, Zhou Jing had an unhappy face and fierce eyes, while Yi Chen on the side looked a little confused. The two of them sat together, just like the 2-inch photo on a marriage certificate.

Later, Yi Chen didn't know where these photos were thrown away. In fact, to them, this was no longer important.
