Hidden Summer

14

When he got off work the next day, Xu Zhiyuan still drove over.When Li Hang watched Xu Zhiyuan drive a black Mercedes-Benz E320L in front of him in the underground parking lot, he was so shocked that his jaw almost fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zhiyuan asked suspiciously when Cao Liyu sat in the co-pilot and stared at the front.

"It's nothing..." Cao Liyu came back to his senses, and sighed deeply, "I suddenly wondered if Kuflosen actually has a wealth threshold? For example, those with assets below 100 million are not allowed to enter? Or, you guys That circle is full of rich people?"

Xu Zhiyuan was amused, and said with a smile, "You think too much", leaning over to fasten Cao Liyu's seat belt.

Cao Liyu watched Xu Zhiyuan's actions in one go, and muttered in a strange way: "I probably know why you have a bad reputation."

Xu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows: "Tell me why?"

Cao Liyu grinned: "Even if you don't have that intention, you will be merciful everywhere intentionally or unintentionally, and provoke a rotten peach blossom."

Xu Zhiyuan rubbed his chin, narrowed his eyes like a fox and nodded thoughtfully: "That's right, that's the truth, so it's not that I'm promiscuous, but that I'm too charming."

"Brother, you can really find yourself a step down!"

Cao Liyu laughed heartily, Xu Zhiyuan glanced at him, chuckled and drove the car.

Cao Liyu's treat for dinner was a thank you to Xu Zhiyuan for his help.Then Cao Liyu followed Xu Zhiyuan to his home, a white-collar apartment about 10 minutes away from their company.The elevator went all the way up to the tenth floor, 1003. Cao Liyu followed Xu Zhiyuan into his apartment, took a look around, and found that although the interior decoration was high-end, it was unexpectedly quite simple. The main color was black, white and gray, with no decorations, and even the furniture was very simple. There are not many traces of life.For example, the tables and coffee tables in the living room are all clean, and there is no debris on the cups and plates. Although there is no dust, it is obviously not used much.The brown suede sectional sofa is very spacious, enough for a man of Cao Liyu's stature to sleep on.

"You don't seem to be staying at home very much." Cao Liyu asked when he thought of something.

"Well, basically I use the bedroom to sleep." Xu Zhiyuan didn't shy away from it either.

"The kitchen is really clean, hasn't the fire been fired for a long time?"

"What? You want to cook for me?"

"It's safer for you to stay in the imagination stage with my craft."

"I would only create disaster in the kitchen."

"It seems that I can only eat outside food every day..."

"Did you always eat at home?"

"Well, Xiao Yu is good at cooking, and he doesn't like to eat outside..."

"Oh, that's really bliss."

Both of them were silent for a few seconds suddenly, each having their own concerns.Cao Liyu shook his head lightly, and pretended to be relaxed and asked: "Then why do you buy so many kitchen utensils? It seems that the kitchen has the most complete facilities besides the bedroom, right?"

Xu Zhiyuan smiled and said lightly: "Yes, because someone who can cook occasionally comes."

Cao Liyu looked back at Xu Zhiyuan, and saw that his brows and eyes were stretched and his expression was indescribably gentle, so he couldn't help blurting out: "Is it Liang Dong?"

Xu Zhiyuan nodded generously and admitted: "Well, it seems that you have heard some, I am really notorious."

Cao Liyu shook his head: "No matter what others say, you really like Liang Dong."

Xu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows habitually: "Why do you see that?"

Cao Liyu smiled slyly: "Anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance. If you don't like it, who would be so full to do this?"

Xu Zhiyuan smiled.Li Hang said that he was sincere to Liang Dong, and now Cao Liyu said the same. It seems that although these two boys are very clumsy about their own feelings, they have a little more insight into other people's affairs than others.Although Xu Zhiyuan has never cared about the eyes of others, but he has friends around him who can understand and tolerate him, so he doesn't have to refuse the slight comfort.

It's a pity that most people will only regard him as a flirtatious playboy.

But even if Cao Liyu's words are right, Xu Zhiyuan still intends to teach this simple young man who has no deep experience in the world, so that he will not suffer from others in the future: "You have only known me for a long time, and you dare to make such a conclusion. Don't you know that I am Kufu?" Is Rosen the most dangerous hunter? Are you not afraid of being hunted by me?"

Cao Liyu curled his lips, hugged his shoulders and pretended to tremble: "I'm so scared~ It's time to test my determination!"

Xu Zhiyuan laughed: "I don't know if you are really smart or if you are a fool."

"Of course you are really smart." Cao Liyu thought for a while and asked hesitantly, "Can I ask you a somewhat offensive question?"

"Ask, how else can you offend me?"

"Actually, I can accept it, but it doesn't mean I agree. In my opinion, the relationship between you and Liang Dong is quite strange. Can he accept it calmly? Or is it true that homosexuals are like this, and there is no long-term fixed relationship?" ?”

Seeing Cao Liyu's frowning serious expression, Xu Zhiyuan probably understood what the other party wanted to know, and it was rare for him to answer seriously: "No, it varies from person to person, some people only look for one person, and some people are not suitable It’s just a fixed relationship. It’s the same as heterosexuality. It’s just that our group is more faithful to our hearts because we are less bound by family responsibilities and criticized by public opinion.”

"Really? Be true to your heart...?"

Cao Liyu sat on the soft sofa and fell into his own thoughts.Xu Zhiyuan looked at him and shook his head, then turned and went back to his room to change clothes.

The adaptability of human beings to new environments is really extraordinary. No wonder they have reached the pinnacle of the animal kingdom in natural selection.

Cao Liyu has only lived with Xu Zhiyuan for a few days, and he feels completely accustomed to the current pace of life-the working hours have not changed, but he will go to work with Xu Zhiyuan in the morning, go home and eat together in the evening, and only one night is special. After Cao Liyu went home by himself, Xu Zhiyuan went to play in Kuflorsen and stayed out that night.But there is nothing unacceptable, Xu Zhiyuan never shows off his circle in front of Cao Liyu, and Cao Liyu is not a person who likes to gossip, so the two of them really get along like ordinary friends when they are together.

Neither Xiao Yu nor Li Hang has called Cao Liyu since Monday.Cao Liyu heaved a sigh of relief, but also couldn't help feeling a little bit disappointed.In fact, after this week, he didn't think too much about how to face the relationship between the two, because every time he thought about it, he felt depressed and panicked.For a person like Cao Liyu who has always dealt with problems directly and decisively, after a little time, he quickly figured out the reason why the two of them hid their relationship from him, because if it were him, he would be afraid of telling the truth. Friendships can crack.Thinking about it this way, they did it precisely because they valued themselves as a friend.But even if he understands the truth, it's just that when he thinks that those two people will live in a world of two, he always feels abandoned.What he didn't realize was that there was also fear lurking deep in his heart, and that was actually connected with Xiao Yu and Li Hang's thoughts.

Seeing that the working hours of the day were coming to an end, Cao Liyu's department manager went to his place and tapped his desktop: "Xiao Cao, go to the conference room for a meeting in 10 minutes."

"Hey." Cao Liyu speeded up his typing when he heard the words, and wanted to finish the PPT in hand.

"Xiao Cao, you can sort out the market research report on product X and bring it here later, and discuss how to modify this plan for the young consumer group. The two of you will go to City H with me the day after tomorrow to meet new customers."

Cao Liyu nodded in response, and suddenly remembered something—going to see a client meant that he needed to change into a suitable suit, but now he was in the apartment of the three of them except for a few sets of daily clothes.Cao Liyu scratched the back of his head with a headache, and still didn't come to a conclusion until after get off work.

In the end, Cao Liyu didn't work overtime, he packed his things and left the company early.When he left the office building, he called Xu Zhiyuan, told the other party that he wanted to go back to get some things, and asked the other party to go back first.Before he hung up the phone, Cao Liyu was stopped by a girl. He looked back, and the girl from the company's personnel department who caught up behind him was the cute little girl who had specially left a birthday cake for Cao Liyu.

Cao Liyu stopped, faced the girl and asked, "Xiao Zhao, are you off work too? What's the matter?"

The girl stood still in front of Cao Liyu, with a sweet smile on her face, and panting a little while speaking: "I always get off work on time, but you, it's rare that you don't work overtime!"

"Hehe, it's true. In fact, this is the time to get off work. I have something to do today, so I left early."

"Do you have anything else to do later? Well, I wanted to have dinner with you, but today I have dinner alone..."

As she spoke, the girl lowered her head slightly, and quickly raised her eyes shyly and timidly to peek at Cao Liyu's expression.Cao Liyu is no longer a boy with poor emotional experience. How can he not understand the reason for the girl's obvious invitation?But at this moment, he didn't feel any joy or pride at all, instead he felt a little guilty and helpless.

He smiled apologetically, pretending to be nonchalant, and replied with regret: "I'm really sorry, next time call Lao Huang Xiaozhu and the others, let's make an appointment together?"

The girl looked at Cao Liyu in astonishment, as if she didn't understand what she had done wrong, she clenched her fists after thinking for a while, then raised her face persistently and asked Cao Liyu: "Cao Liyu, I heard that you don't eat out with everyone very much, Do you have a girlfriend? Does your girlfriend wait for you at home after cooking dinner? "

Cao Liyu didn't expect that the little girl who looked at the gentle and soft-spoken girl would hit such a straight ball, so he thought about his sentence before speaking: "I don't have a girlfriend, but there is indeed someone waiting for me to go home for dinner. So, sorry, next time Call me again at the next party, and I will greet my family in advance."

After finishing speaking, Cao Liyu didn't give the girl any time to think, so he turned and walked out of the office building.

However, near the gate, he met Xiao Yu's brown eyes that were always looking at him tenderly.When Xiao Yu saw that Cao Liyu had found him, he reflexively closed his eyes and twisted his face away, turning around as if about to leave.But before Cao Liyu could stop him, Xiao Yu only moved in one direction, then turned back, still facing him.Xiao Yu reluctantly pulled out a stiff smile to say hello——

"Hi, Liyu, I'm not here to take you home, I just... come to see you."

Looking at Xiao Yu's haggard face and uneasy expression, and hearing the cautiousness in his words, Cao Liyu couldn't help sighing, and walked up to pass him by: "I just want to go home to get something, let's go back together."

Cao Liyu walked towards the subway station without looking back, but he didn't see the shining light in Xiao Yu's eyes as if he had regained hope.
