Wu Wan

Chapter 21

On the first day of work after the new year, Zhao Duobao was not in a good state of mind. He had lost a lot of weight and looked shaky. Jiang Shuowang didn't dare to let him drive again, so he quickly hired a new driver.

In fact, Zhao Duobao understood everything, but Jiang Shuo was worried that he was thinking too much, so he asked him to come to his house for a chat, and even gave him a salary increase.Zhao Duobao was so grateful that he kept thanking him. By the way, he took 3 yuan wrapped in paper from his bag and handed it to Jiang Shuowang, "Boss, I collected 3 yuan, and I will return it to you first. In case I return it as soon as possible.”

Jiang Shuo forgot to look at the pile of money, "You are not rich right now, the fifty thousand is my funeral expenses for your father as the boss, you can take it back."

"No, no, no." Zhao Duobao waved his hands again and again, "Thank you for giving me a salary increase. I said I would pay you back the money, so please accept it."

Jiang Shuo pursed his lips, nodded, and took the money from Zhao Duobao, "Okay, then I'll take it, and the remaining [-] will go to your father's funeral. I lost a lot of weight before."

Zhao Duobao was stunned, he would not pay back any of the 5 yuan, he was always uneasy, and the money had already been brought, so he had to pay it back, the remaining [-] yuan can only be said that Jiang Shuo forgot to give it. He's a good step up.In fact, why doesn't he want to be tougher? He can pat his chest and promise that he will pay it back. The reality is that Jiang Shuowang's words are very tempting to him. With the remaining arrears exempted and his salary raised, he can live a better life than before. A lot of life, and part of it can be saved and sent back to his hometown to live for his mother.

"En." Zhao Duobao nodded, bowed to Jiang Shuowang, and accepted his kindness, "Thank you boss."

The moment he bowed his head and bowed his head, he couldn't help but think that if it was in the past, Jiang Shuo's kindness and care would have made him fall deeply and thoroughly.Fortunately, it has been successfully withdrawn.

"You're welcome, you've worked hard, you deserve it." Jiang Shuo forgot to pat Zhao Duobao on the shoulder, with comfort in his eyes, "My condolences will change."

"Ah."

"During this period of time, I don't have much work here. Basically, I rehearse in the studio in the suburbs. If I have a business trip, I will tell you in advance. Usually, you can come to the studio at 10:30 every morning. I will go there by myself. I."

Zhao Duobao left after hearing that Jiang Shuo had briefly explained his recent work and confirmed that there was nothing else to do.

He was in a good mood, humming a song he had heard recently, even though the sky was still full of smog, he felt that the sun was shining brightly.There is no subway in the place where I live now, and I need to go to the bus station two kilometers away to get home from Jiangshuo Wangjia, and then reverse the bus to get home.But I am in a good mood, and the journey is much faster. I will arrive in less than 10 minutes. The place is remote, and the bus intervals are long. Zhao Duobao sat on the bench in the platform and looked around.

"Are you so happy to see Jiang Shuowang?" A deep voice came from behind, Zhao Duobao was so frightened that his smile froze on his face, and he didn't dare to move as if he was frozen. He took a deep breath before slowing down. He turned his neck and turned his head to look behind him.

There were only two people on the platform, one was Zhao Duobao himself, and the other was Jiang Yi, who hadn't seen him for a long time and was unshaven and unkempt.

Jiang Yi was putting his hands in his coat pockets, leaning against the billboard on the platform, staring at him expressionlessly.

"Are you following me?" Zhao Duobao's voice was trembling.

Jiang Yi didn't answer, still staring at his face for a moment, his eyes gradually changed, from the gloomy just now to the affectionate that Zhao Duobao couldn't understand.

The soles of Zhao Duobao's feet were cold, and his whole body was cold. Jiang Yi could always appear in his life anytime and anywhere. He was almost driven crazy by this feeling, "What are you doing!"

"Little Treasure." Jiang Yi called him softly, and gradually approached him. Zhao Duobao stood up and hurriedly backed away. Jiang Yi quickly stepped forward and grabbed his wrist, "I miss you so much."

"You're a lunatic!" Zhao Duobao frantically swung his arms, trying to break free, but to no avail, Jiang Yi's hands tightly gripped his wrist like iron clamps.

"Xiaobao, don't go." Jiang Yi pressed Zhao Duobao's body, looked down at him, "I admit my mistake, you come back, let's have a good relationship."

"You're fucking sick, I'm not sick, I'm not in the mood to continue being a spare tire for others."

"No."

"Jiang Yi." Zhao Duobao raised his head and looked straight into Jiang Yi's eyes. The sparks from his eyes wanted to burn two holes in the opponent's body, "Do you still remember that you were so drunk that you wanted me to fall in love with you?" What happened that day?"

"I remember."

"You are exactly the same now as you were then." Zhao Duobao opened Jiang Yi's fingers one by one, "I'm not smart, but I won't be so stupid as to be cheated twice."

Zhao Duobao was full of anger, and said in one breath, "I don't know who you got hit with today, so you came to tease me again, but it's not important, I don't want to cooperate with you."

Zhao Duobao looked at the direction of the bus from time to time, hoping that the bus would arrive soon so that he could get rid of Jiang Yi quickly.

"No, Xiaobao." Jiang Yi wanted to grab his arm, but was opened, "You have been away for a few days, I really can't sleep or eat well, I never went to find that It's a girl."

"It's not my business."

"None of your business!"

Seeing the bus coming into the station, Zhao Duobao hurriedly got on the bus through the front door, and he didn't forget to turn around and shout at Jiang Yi, "Don't follow me."

Jiang Yi really didn't follow him anymore. He stood there and said something to him, "I will come to you again."

Zhao Duobao was about to turn around and scold him, but the car door was already closed, so he had to give Jiang Yi a warning from the window.

For several days in a row, Zhao Duobao was worried when he returned home, for fear that one day he would see Jiang Yi's lingering figure at the door of his house again.But I don't know if it's because the school has already started, and he goes home late every day, and it didn't happen that he suddenly saw Jiang Yi at any corner or in the corridor.

After nearly ten days, Jiang Yi didn't show up again, and Zhao Duobao felt a little more at ease.

Jiang Shuo forgot to devote himself to retreat and rehearse, so Qi Yan naturally had to visit the class.Usually, when Jiang Shuo forgot to practice, Zhao Duobao and his new assistant sat and chatted.

The new assistant is Zhou Ye, a stocky-looking northerner, Qi Yan came to visit the class for the first time, Jiang Shuo forgot to hold him very affectionately, Zhou Ye saw that his eyeballs were about to fall out, and bumped him with his elbow Zhao Duobao, "Brother Zhao, our boss is that... that..." He held back his energy to think of words, his facial features all wrinkled together, "Gay?"

Zhao Duobao didn't want to get too involved in the boss's gossip, "Well, well, I don't know."

Zhao Duobao looked at Jiang Shuowang, he was sitting on a high stool, Qi Yan was standing in front of him, both wrists were held by Jiang Shuowang, Jiang Shuowang raised his head and looked at Qi Yan , full of smiles and love.

Zhou Ye pushed him suddenly, and his voice was a little excited, "It's still called it, look at the boss's little eyes, tsk tsk tsk."

Zhao Duobao glanced at Jiang Shuowang, who probably didn't hear him, and said to Zhou Ye, "You should keep your voice down. Besides, we can't take care of the boss's affairs. Work hard and don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, I understand this." Zhou Ye put his hand on Zhao Duobao's shoulder. He wanted to take a picture, but after seeing Zhao Duobao's shoulder that was so thin that it was almost bone-less, he didn't dare to use any force. Step up, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

"Ah."

Jiang Shuowang and Qi Yan seemed to have a lot to say. Zhao Duobao looked at them and smiled at himself. He was burdened with too many emotions before, so he didn't take a good look at Qi Yan. Now it seems that they really are with each other. Jiang Shuo Wang is a good match.

Zhou Ye smoked very quickly and came back after a while. Jiang Shuowang and Qi Yan also chatted about the same, waved to them, and he and Zhou Ye hurried over.

"Xiao Zhou, it's hard work for you to go down and drive, Xiao Bao, help me clean up the music score."

"it is good."

Zhao Duobao nodded and started cleaning up. Zhou Ye was still standing there in a daze, scratching the few hairs on the top of his head, "Boss, are you off work?"

Jiang Shuo smiled and nodded, "Well, you'll get off work after you send us back later." He didn't forget to look at Qi Yan after he finished speaking.

Zhou Ye was so happy that he hurried out, "Alright, I'll drive the car for you right away."

Zhao Duobao was so amused by his tone, he packed up the score and put it in a file folder, and handed it to Jiang Shuowang. Qi Yan first took it and put it in his briefcase, "Thank you."

Zhao Duobao smiled at him, "You're welcome."

When they got downstairs, Zhou Ye had already driven his car and waited by the side of the road. When he saw them coming down, he poked his head out of the car window and waved, "Here, here."

"Can such a big car still be invisible?"

"Aren't I excited? It's rare that I can get off work early and still have time to make an appointment." Zhou Ye whistled, and when the door was closed, he stepped on the gas pedal and went out, "I said, Brother Zhao , you are still single, do you want to introduce some to you?"

Zhao Duobao was looking down at his mobile phone when he was called by his name suddenly. He raised his head and said blankly, "What?"

"Hey, let me introduce you to pretty girls."

"no, I'm fine."

Zhao Duobao was sitting in the passenger seat. Zhou Ye refused when he heard that he didn't even think about it. He even took a special look at him, rolling his eyes back and forth, and then glanced at Jiang Shuowang and Qi Yan in the rear seat from the rearview mirror. Suddenly his eyes widened, "You don't know..." He felt that it was not very good, he held back the last part of the sentence, coughed twice, "I have a date."

Zhao Duobao halfway raised his hand to cover Zhou Ye's mouth, but he put it down again when he gasped. Before he could say anything, Jiang Shuowang couldn't help but reminded him in the back seat, "Xiao Zhou , drive well."

"Hey, okay." Zhou Ye quickly sat upright, his eyes still couldn't help but drift towards Zhao Duobao, as if hesitating to speak.

Zhao Duobao got off the car on the main road near the rented house. He remembered that there was a lack of daily necessities at home. There happened to be a large chain supermarket across the road, and he usually didn’t have much time to go shopping. Today, taking advantage of the early hours, he entered the supermarket and planned to have a good time Go shopping and do some shopping.

The supermarket is quite big, with three floors. Zhao Duobao looked at the shelves one by one. When he walked to the shower gel and shampoo shelf, he took a bottle and put it under his nose to smell it. He thought it smelled good, and it was also A little familiar, I glanced at the packaging, it was the one that Jiang Yi forced himself to pick out when we rented together.He quickly put the bottle back where it was and left in a hurry.

Familiar people, familiar things, and familiar objects will all arouse familiar emotions. He still can't face it calmly and can only choose to escape first.

By the time Zhao Duobao walked out of the supermarket after shopping for the items he needed, only half of the sun was exposed outside. The sunlight of this month has already warmed up, shining warmly on people.

Zhao Duobao raised his arms and stretched himself.Before he put his arms down completely, his expression changed, his hands lost strength, the bag he was carrying fell straight down, and the things he bought were scattered all over the floor.

Jiang Yi was standing under the long steps in front of the supermarket, looking at him.
