bad kid

Chapter 55

Yan Yue's arrival caused quite a commotion.

The schoolmates surrounded Yan Yue, staring at him to add WeChat, and the waiters and staff also rushed over after hearing the news. The scene was comparable to a large-scale star chasing scene, and it was out of control for a while.

Li Jingyi took a bunch of videos and sent them to his wife, yelling: "Look, I'm not bragging, I just said that Yan Yue will come to the appointment..."

Ruan Zhimu and Yan Yue's assistant Xu Can were chatting outside the restaurant.

Xu Can said with emotion: "In the past, when encountering such a situation, the boss has always refused indifferently. Today, he has the nerve to sign someone's autograph, and even agrees to take a group photo... Is today an auspicious day..."

Ruan Zhimu: "Many of them are juniors from the same school, so he is too embarrassed to refuse."

Xu Can: "The boss won't wrong himself just because he's embarrassed. Last time, a few Faxiao came to S City to see him. The boss was busy with a filming at the time, so he refused without hesitation and asked them to search for travel guides by themselves. He doesn't have time for reception."

Ruan Zhimu: "..."

After so many years, he still has this temperament.

Xu Can looked at the figure of the boss and muttered softly: "I don't know if that person is inside..."

"what?"

"Ah," Xu Can was a little embarrassed when he overheard him, "Did you hear me? Actually, I shouldn't talk about the boss's private affairs..."

Ruan Zhimu saw that he was a little nervous, and smiled: "Relax, it's just some gossip, it's not a commercial secret."

Once again, he couldn't control his desire to understand Yan Yue's life.

Xu Can is honest and simple, still young, and has no discernment. In addition, these things are really just irrelevant gossip, so he told him after being coaxed by him.

"Our studio once went camping on the mountain to build a team. The boss drank too much and dragged Mr. Bai into a drunken conversation—you probably don't know Mr. Bai. He is a good friend of our boss. He is a top student in the Department of Chemistry at S University. It is said that before graduating, he earned money to buy a house through stock speculation, which is super powerful.”

Probably Bai Chuan, Ruan Zhimu thought to himself.

"Mr. Bai sent us away right away, but we heard a few words before we left, and we almost guessed a little bit," Xu Can whispered in his ear mysteriously, "Our boss has a super scumbag ex who got together before the college entrance examination. Yes, I dumped him after the college entrance examination! You heard the boss’s answer in the last live broadcast, I’m sure the boss is talking about that scumbag ex!”

"We all guessed that the ex must be extremely beautiful, because our boss's incumbent is a supermodel, super thin and super white, so the ex that he misses so much must be even more beautiful?"

"Mr. Ruan, I saw you arguing with the boss from a distance just now, and the boss is still grabbing your wrist, you must have a good relationship, right?" Xu Can said sincerely, "Our boss is very nice, but he may have been hurt emotionally. Sometimes it looks rather gloomy because of the reason. So we all hope that he can make more good friends, persuade him more, and make him happy, such as you..."

Ruan Zhimu: "..."

Hearing these words, his heart was overwhelmed for a moment, with a lot of thoughts, guilt and sourness rushed into his heart.

If Xu Can knew that the "scumbag ex" was him, I don't know what expression he would have.

Just as Xu Can was about to continue, a frighteningly cold voice suddenly came from behind: "What are you doing?"

The two turned their heads away.

Yan Yue got up and stood behind them at some point, with an ugly expression, staring at Xu Can's hand on Ruan Zhimu's back.

Just now, for the convenience of speaking, Xu Can put his arms around him and spoke next to his ear. His chest and arms were close together, the distance between his lips and earlobes was less than three centimeters, and his arms rested on his back.

Ruan Zhimu looked at him, his throat was a little blocked: "I..."

Since the reunion, he has often recalled the past, imagined Yan Yue's appearance in college, and wondered what they would be like now if he hadn't left that day.

After hearing Xu Can's words just now, the sourness in my heart became even stronger.

He opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start.

Yan Yue seemed to have misunderstood.

With a cold face, he told Xu Can to go back to the studio. It's none of his business now.

Then he grabbed Ruan Zhimu's wrist and strode out quickly.

Ruan Zhimu's wrist hurt from being strangled, unable to keep up with his footsteps, he stumbled: "Is the alumni association over? Where are you going?"

Yan Yue ignored him.

After being stuffed into the passenger seat of the car, he realized something was wrong: "Wait, why did I get into your car? I'm going back to the company. There is an event seminar tonight..."

Yan Yue: "Then cancel it."

Ruan Zhimu: "Where did I get the right to cancel, this is a meeting organized by the director.

Yan Yue: "The one with the surname Huang last time?"

Ruan Zhimu: "Well... wait, what are you going to do?"

Yan Yue took out the phone from his pocket, pressed his fingerprint to unlock it, found Huang Deliang from the contacts, and made a call.

Ruan Zhimu's scalp was numb, and he watched him dial the phone and asked Huang Deliang on the other end of the phone, "I'm Yan Yue, and Ruan Zhimu is here. Is he an important decision-maker for tonight's event seminar?"

Huang Deliang didn't know what to reply.

Ruan Zhimu still had a little luck.Huang Deliang is a person who likes to play tricks. Every time a meeting is held, no matter whether it is important or not, no matter whether it is urgent or not, he requires all members to be present and not to be late.

Then I saw Yan Yue nodded: "Okay, then I'll take this leave for him."

Ruan Zhimu: "..."

Yan Yue hung up the phone, Ruan Zhimu said angrily: "Why do you ask for leave for me without authorization, this is my job..."

Yan Yue: "Five years ago, you left without saying goodbye. I looked for you everywhere. I didn't eat a meal for three days. I didn't know what to do. I almost died of gas poisoning. Is this enough reason?"

Ruan Zhimu looked at him in surprise, unable to say a word.

Yan Yue's car sped along the road.

Ruan Zhimu was a little worried. Yan Yue's mood seemed very unstable. Now that it was approaching the end of get off work, the road was full of traffic and the road conditions were not very good.

But Yan Yue drove very smoothly, and drove to the most famous shopping mall in the center of S city, and drove into the parking lot.

Ruan Zhimu said stupidly: "Do you want to buy something?"

Yan Yue: "Travel."

Ruan Zhimu: "?"

Yan Yue: "Before the college entrance examination, you promised me that when I was admitted to university, you would take me on a trip and buy me souvenirs. Since you missed the appointment five years ago, let's make it up now."

Ruan Zhimu was silent.

As the economic and cultural center of the country, City S is indeed a famous tourist city, with modern streets, steampunk-style buildings, towering skyscrapers, and Republican-style alleys preserved from the last century.

Five years ago, when they were discussing where to travel, they also considered City S, but they always felt that City S had a large population, crowded and noisy, and it was better to go to a small, clean and remote town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Five years later, after going around, they didn't expect that they all came to this city that they didn't like at first.

They walked into the mall and started "tourism".

Yan Yue walked ahead without talking to him, and Ruan Zhimu followed silently behind, looking like two poles of a magnet, never meeting each other, but always keeping a fixed distance.

Yan Yue walked a little fast, passing a corner of a shelf, Ruan Zhimu didn't pay attention and lost track.

Just as he was thinking about making a phone call, he remembered that he and Yan Yue had not exchanged cell phone numbers.

...Five years ago, in order to prevent Yan Yue from finding him, he canceled his mobile phone number and WeChat ID.

He also forced himself to forget Yan Yue's cell phone number,

He stood there for a while, hesitating whether to go to the radio station to find someone.

... always feel a little ashamed.

This is usually used by parents looking for children.

Do you want to say this - kid Yan Yue, kid Yan Yue, your parents are waiting for you here at the radio station, please follow the staff quickly...

While thinking wildly, the phone suddenly rang.

Ruan Zhimu picked it up, and heard a familiar, cold voice from the opposite side.

"Where are you."

Ruan Zhimu glanced at the shelf stupidly: "I'm in... oh, I'm in the toiletries section, next to the shampoo counter..."

"Stay where you are, I'll find you."

After saying this, Yan Yue hung up the phone.

Ruan Zhimu stood where he was, suddenly feeling more like the lost child.

He didn't react until Yan Yue found him: "Why do you know my mobile phone number?"

Yan Yue: "At the hotel just now, I asked Li Jingyi for it."

Ruan Zhimu: "Actually, you can ask me directly..."

Yan Yue: "In order to get rid of me, you can even log out of the mobile phone number you have used for more than ten years. If I ask you, will you tell me?"

Ruan Zhimu choked.

Yan Yue has also been known for his proficient skills over the years. Compared with the aggressive and sharp-edged five years ago, now he is more like a gentle knife, killing people invisible.

In order to hide his embarrassment, he lowered his head, looked through the call records just now, and muttered: "Let me save your number..."

The more you look at it, the more familiar it is.

Why is this number so similar to...

"I haven't changed my phone number," Yan Yue guessed what he was thinking, and said without expression, "It's still the number five years ago, and it hasn't changed."

Ruan Zhimu had nothing to say: "Yes, it's troublesome to change your mobile phone number, and you have to add friends again. If someone looks for you, you may not be able to find it..."

"It's not for this reason," Yan Yue said coldly, "I'm too stupid to always think that you will suddenly call me one day, saying that you just went out to pick up a job for a short time and will be back soon."

"I'm afraid you won't be able to find me. I haven't changed my phone number, I haven't changed my WeChat ID, and I haven't changed all the contact methods that you added as friends—until I found out that all those contacts were forcibly cut off by you."

He whispered, like a question, and like talking to himself:

"Ruan Zhimu, have you ever been sincere to me?"
