In the early morning, the sun shines through the thin clouds, and the golden light flows among the trees.

Chu Xichi woke up suddenly, looked around the room for a week, and the wandering thoughts gradually came back, and looked at the time, it was less than eight o'clock.

Habitually tilting his head to look at the position beside him, the other side of the bed was empty, not even a trace of temperature left.

Seeing this, Chu Xichi pursed his lips, and subconsciously wondered... Where did Ji Yubo go?

Oh yes...it's not the weekend today, it's normal to go to work at this time, he just forgot because he got used to returning home recently.

Thinking of this, Chu Xichi turned over and stretched to continue falling asleep, but the moment he closed his eyes, he suddenly froze.

and many more!

What am I doing?

Okay, why do you suddenly care about what Ji Yubo is doing, what the other party likes to do, what does it matter to him?!

Chu Xichi bit the corner of his lips, and a strong uneasiness gradually came to his heart. Since he returned to China, it seemed that something that could not be sorted out gradually began to get out of control.

And, yesterday was also...

Ji Yubo's appearance of losing his composure is still vivid until now. He agreed to the other party's request to "stay by his side forever" because he was soft-hearted and didn't even think carefully.

Thinking of this, Chu Xichi closed his eyes and frowned slightly, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

It seems that I accidentally agreed to some extraordinary request...

Once this idea came into being, it began to erode his nerves continuously, and the drowsiness completely dissipated. He tossed and turned on the bed, and finally got up and opened the curtains.

Without the obstruction of the curtains, the sunlight changes angles and cuts on the glass, leaving a swaying halo all over the bedroom.

The bright light calmed Chu Xichi's irritable heart slightly, and he lowered his eyes and remained silent for a moment...Suddenly, he felt that it was time for him to think carefully—what is the relationship between him and Ji Yubo now?

If it was three years ago, he could still say with certainty that he and Ji Yubo were in an ordinary nurturing/supporting relationship.

Although now it seems that his feelings had a tendency to deteriorate at that time.But at that time, Chu Xichi always thought that there was an "original work", and he could use this excuse to restrain his emotions with peace of mind, and he would not think about it for a moment at all.

But now, with so much evidence, Chu Xichi clearly knew that he was wearing the wrong book, and there was no so-called "original book" at all. The disappearance of the shackles made Chu Xichi suddenly confused.

Although he and Ji Yubo have done all the things between couples, but right now...because there are many misunderstandings and embarrassments that have not been resolved, no matter how you think about it, it seems that he and Ji Yubo are not in love.

A strong sense of irritability rushed around his chest, and Chu Xichi rubbed his forehead with some headaches.He doesn't know anything about emotional issues, it would be great if someone could confide in him.

Suddenly, Lu Jiantong's figure flashed across his mind... Chu Xichi's eyes widened slightly, isn't there a good candidate for him!

With the character of a nobleman like Lu Jiantong, it seems that he must be very capable in terms of emotions, so talking to him can't go wrong!

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible. Without hesitation, Chu Xichi immediately sent a text message to Lu Jiantong, "Are you free at noon, do you want to have a meal together?"

Almost as soon as the message was successfully sent, there was a reply saying "Okay, there is a very good coffee shop downstairs from my company."

The message from the other party was sent quickly, and before Chu Xichi could reply, a new message popped up, "I'm in a meeting right now, I'll pick you up after a while."

Looking at Lu Jiantong's constant text messages, Chu Xichi slowly rubbed his fingertips on the edge of the phone, inexplicably feeling a little strange... All kinds of details of the past relationship emerged in his mind inappropriately.

Is Lu Jiantong the kind of person who would be so considerate to his friends?

But soon, Chu Xichi shook his head and forgot the absurd thoughts in his mind.Too many things have happened recently, he may be overly sensitive | about emotional matters, how could Lu Jiantong like him.

Besides, didn't Ji Yubo tell him before that Lu Jiantong has someone he likes!

Thinking of this, he instantly felt relieved, and replied without hesitation, "Then will trouble you."

Seeing that he finally had someone to confide in the things he had been thinking about for a long time, Chu Xichi's mood instantly brightened. Taking advantage of the fact that there were no pedestrians in the morning, he went out to take the mini pig for a walk, and then slowly packed up his clothes after returning home.

noon.

There was still some time before the agreed time, so Lu Jiantong drove to Far Mountain Villa early.

"Aren't you in a meeting?" Chu Xichi couldn't react for a while, "Why are you here so early?"

"What?" Lu Jiantong raised his eyebrows with some interest, and after tracing Chu Xichi's eyes calmly, he said nonchalantly, "I'm thinking of a miniature pig, can't you come over and have a look?"

As he said that, he leaned over and touched the top of the mini pig's head, but his gaze fell on the young man, and he jokingly said, "You're so cute."

Chu Xichi instinctively felt that this sentence was a bit wrong, as if there was something in the words that meant something, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure out why, so he pretended not to hear it and deliberately changed the topic, "I'm hungry, let's go eat firstBar."

Hearing this, Lu Jiantong paused slightly for stroking the mini pig's fingertips, but it was fleeting, and soon returned to normal, "Okay."

It was not the rush hour at this time, the traffic on the road was not congested, and the two of them arrived at the restaurant without any delay.

This is an open western restaurant with no private rooms. Lu Jiantong booked a secluded corner location in advance. There is only one side of transparent glass facing the shopping mall nearby. It is quiet and simple, which is very suitable for chatting.

After sitting firmly, Lu Jiantong hooked the corners of his lips: "Finally you're willing to ask me out."

Chu Xichi finally remembered the purpose of today, and he couldn't help but become solemn: "Well... I have something to ask you."

"That's it." Hearing this, Lu Jiantong said softly, with an imperceptible sense of disappointment in his tone, but he quickly covered it up again, "Why bother Mr. Chu to ask me personally?"

Ever since he got acquainted with Lu Jiantong, Chu Xichi had never heard the other party address him as Mr. Chu, and when he heard it at this moment, he felt a bit of inexplicable yin and yang.

"I'm not joking with you." Chu Xichi was a little confused, so he had no choice but to explain: "I do have a problem and I need a problem. After thinking about it, you are the only one who believes it."

Because the remaining trusted friends are not suitable for talking about relationship issues.

Afraid of angering Lu Jiantong, Chu Xichi didn't say the second half of the sentence, but silently added it in his heart, still maintaining a sincere look on his face.

This sentence seemed to please Lu Jiantong, and the emotions that had accumulated between his brows gradually dissipated, and he pursed his lips and said, "What's the matter?"

"Well..." Although Chu Xichi had been brewing for a long time in advance, he was still a little embarrassed when he really wanted to speak. He hesitated for a moment, and finally the words came out of his mouth, "I have a friend who is emotional.I'm a little suspicious."

"Friend?" Lu Jiantong had a strange expression on his face: "The friend you mentioned is yourself?"

"It's not me!" The lame excuse was directly pointed out, and Chu Xichi became a little annoyed, "It's a friend!"

In order to prevent Lu Jiantong from being too obsessed with the question of whether he is a friend, he didn't wait for the other party's reaction, and directly asked the question he was still squeezing in his heart: "My friend has a, um.... Funding object."

"Because of a little misunderstanding, the two separated. Although they are reunited now, the misunderstanding has not been resolved. The two have done everything they can do as a couple, but they don't feel like a couple when they get along."

"What's going on between the two of them? Specifically, what's the relationship?"

The rare courage made Chu Xichi express his inner confusion without a pause, but with his words, Lu Jiantong's face became more and more icy, until he completely sank.

After a moment of silence, Lu Jiantong did not reply him immediately, but first pushed the dishes in front of him and said, "Let's eat first."

"This is their signature dish, try it."

The word "perfunctory" was almost written on his face.

"Be serious." Seeing this, Chu Xichi was a little upset, "I'm really... no, my friend is really anxious about this issue."

Lu Jiantong said expressionlessly, "It's not you, it's just your friend. Why should I be in a hurry?"

Perhaps because he realized his gaffe, he quickly put away his cold expression, and returned to his usual gentle and dignified appearance, "Did you walk the mini pig today? I asked for leave in the afternoon, so I can just walk the pig."

"I......"

Chu Xichi didn't want to talk about mini pigs, so he opened his mouth to bring the topic back, but was interrupted again by Lu Jiantong.

"I didn't expect that you really brought the mini pig back to China. It's been a long time since I saw it last time. I still miss it."

Chu Xichi: "..."

Lu Jiantong must be poisonous, no matter how he opens and closes his mouth, he looks like a miniature pig!

The interrupted topics one after another made Chu Xichi a little irritable, but at the moment when his face was about to sink, he seemed to have suddenly figured out something...

Lu Jiantong has been very attentive to him recently, causing him to misunderstand that Lu Jiantong might have a crush on him, but after getting along with him, he finds that this is not the case at all. The other party doesn't care about his confusion at all, and instead talks like a miniature pig.

Moreover, Ji Yubo has always said that Lu Jiantong has someone he likes, but he has known Lu Jiantong for so long but has never met him...

Chu Xichi opened his eyes slightly, and a bold guess gradually surfaced in his mind. He immediately asked, "Lu Jiantong, do you like my mini pig?"

"..." Lu Jiantong, who was still talking, suddenly fell into silence as if being strangled by the neck.

The strange atmosphere continued to spread between the two of them, and finally, Lu Jiantong's lips curled into a sarcasm, and the last trace of warmth in his voice disappeared, "Chu Xichi, sometimes I really want to ask you."

"Do you really don't understand, or do you pretend to understand?"

"...", now it was Chu Xichi's turn to be silent.

He had been dodging the question of finding an excuse, and now he could no longer dodge it.

A problem hadn't been solved yet, and new troubles emerged, and he frowned with some headaches.

But he has escaped enough, it seems that escape is not a good way...

Thinking of this, Chu Xichi finally raised his eyes, stared quietly at Lu Jiantong and said, "Sorry, I don't want Ji Yubo to be sad."

"Is this your answer?" Hearing this, Lu Jiantong curled his lips in an embarrassing arc. He seemed to realize this, and soon returned to his expressionless state.

After a while, he said abruptly, "Chu Xichi, I may have to go abroad for development, and I won't come back in the future."

"That's right, it's good." Lu Jiantong's reaction made Chu Xichi's tightly clasped fingertips slightly loosen. He opened his mouth, and after thinking for a long time, he said softly, "I wish you success in your future career."

Following his words, the last light of Lu Jiantong's seriousness disappeared, "I'm sorry to change my words, it's not possible, it's certain."

"Chu Xichi, I'm going abroad soon."

Lu Jiantong looked solemn, as if he was saying goodbye to something.

"it is good."

When Yu Guang noticed something, Lu Jiantong showed an ugly smile, looked at the young man in front of him and said, "I won't see you again, why don't you come and give me a hug?"

In Chu Xichi's heart, no matter what Lu Jiantong thought, he always believed that the two were friends. After all, they had known each other for so many years, and it seemed that a hug as farewell was not too much.

Thinking of this, he got up to gently protect Lu Jiantong.

Then

As soon as he raised his head, he met Ji Yubo's cold peach blossom eyes outside the French window.

Chu Xichi: "..."

Oh!

The author has something to say:

Chi Chi: Wrong!
