Chapter 24
The author says:
The next morning, Liang Ze woke up uncomfortably.
Head hurts……
He lifted the blanket and saw his naked body, then turned his head and saw the suspender skirt lying on the ground, his expression instantly became extremely unnatural.
Could it be that Wu Ke saw all of his face yesterday?What would Wu Ke think, would he feel that he was crazy.
After a long while of depression, he realized that his embarrassment was superfluous.He was the only one left at home, Wu Ke was long gone, and he didn't receive any new messages on his mobile phone.
It's already 09:30, Wu Ke must have gone to work.
Liang Ze breathed a sigh of relief, but felt vaguely that he had missed something.I can't remember how I came back, and I can't remember Wu Ke helping him change clothes, and my memory is broken.
Throughout the day, he was a little dazed, and the feeling of hangover didn't pass until night.At ten o'clock in the night, I left work early with my tired body, but I didn't expect someone to be earlier than him.
The light was on in the master bedroom, and Wu Ke was arranging clothes by the bed, but he didn't turn around when he heard footsteps behind him.
His attitude has been surprisingly cold since last night.Liang Ze stood at the door of the room, hesitating again and again but still determined to take the initiative to break the deadlock, so he plucked up the courage and walked into the room.Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he found that there was an open suitcase at the foot of the bed.
"Are you packing?" Liang Ze was inexplicably flustered, "Going on a business trip?"
"No."
In front of him, Wu Ke took out the passport book, the international driver's license, and some unused dollar bills from the drawer, and put them into a carry-on travel bag by category.
"then you……"
"I've advanced my ticket, and I'm flying at eight o'clock tomorrow night."
what?
Liang Ze's heart skipped a beat: "You mean going abroad? Why is it so sudden? Is there any change?"
Wu Ke still didn't say a word, but someone pulled his arm.The four eyes met, Liang Ze's eyes were flustered, and he didn't know what happened.
"The company has temporary arrangements."
Looking at his blunt expression, Liang Ze felt that some of his guesses were confirmed: "Did your aunt persuade you to leave early? I felt...that her tone of voice was wrong when I was having lunch that day. You can tell me She said, tell her to rest assured that I will move out soon."
It's completely normal for the elders not to accept their relationship. He is already mentally prepared.
But Wu Ke said: "It has nothing to do with her, it's just that the work is ahead of schedule."
In just two nights, everything changed.Those happy times together passed by in the blink of an eye, replaced by alienation, silence and parting.Facing Wu Ke like this, Liang Ze had nothing to do, and he had no reason to persuade him to stay, so he was almost stunned.
Wu Ke didn't even look at Liang Ze, and continued to pack some necessary things.When I picked up those photos from the past, I saw two familiar faces in the group photo of the class. After a long silence, I finally chose not to take them away.
Now that you have decided to let go, don't drag your feet.What's more, there is suddenly one more person in the past that once thought only belonged to the two of them, everything is no longer so unique, and it seems too silly to treat it no matter how precious it is.He took a deep breath and inserted the photo back into the book.
As soon as he put it down, someone hugged his back.
Liang Ze didn't make a sound, his two hands passed through his waist, his cheek leaned against his back and didn't move.
"Liang Ze, let go."
The six years of reluctance to part with each other back then suddenly poured out like a flood tonight.Wu Ke wanted to break his hand away, but instead of letting go, he tightened his arm even tighter.
"It was you who told me that we have something to say directly. You can go anywhere, but can you let me know why? I don't want to part with you with regrets."
These words almost exhausted Liang Ze's whole body strength, after speaking, he was out of breath as if he had collapsed.He was afraid that Wu Ke would push him away, and he was also afraid that Wu Ke would do nothing.In a competition between the two, he must be the loser.
After a long silence, Wu Ke forcibly pushed him away.
"Liang Ze, you shouldn't have said what you said to me just now."
According to the agreement six years ago, I have been waiting for Liang Ze in Linjiang.But Liang Ze didn't even say a word, and left as soon as he said it.
You can go anywhere, but can you let me know why?I don't want to part with you with regrets.He could send these words to Liang Ze back then without any changes.
"You asked me to be honest, so have you ever been honest with me?" Wu Ke turned and stared, with a calm tone, "Whether it was six years ago or six years later, have you ever done it?"
Under his icy gaze, Liang Ze's eyes trembled slightly, his heart curled up unconsciously, and the words of rebuttal accumulated in his throat but he couldn't speak them out.Because Wu Ke is right, he is always not honest enough, sometimes because of timidity, sometimes because of protecting more important people.
Seeing that Liang Ze remained silent, Wu Ke's eyes revealed a look of disappointment, but he quickly returned to indifference.
After cleaning up everything that needed to be cleaned up, he pushed the suitcase to the entrance and put the briefcase on it, as if he was ready to leave at any time.Liang Ze followed him in a trance, his brain felt like a needle was being pricked, and a tendon from the top of his head to his back was being pulled, and it hurt so much that he asked in a hoarse voice after a while, "So what you wanted to tell me that day was this. thing?"
No wonder I kept procrastinating and refusing to talk about it. It turned out that I was afraid that I would get entangled if I found out, so I decided to save it until before I left.
Wu Ke didn't deny it: "You don't have to send me off tomorrow. I booked a car and left directly from the company. As for this apartment, it's up to you to decide how long you want to live in it. I have paid for water, electricity and property for three years."
"Ake—" Liang Ze followed suit, "Ake, wait."
Wu Ke looked sideways slightly: "What else can I do?"
"you……"
How to say goodbye to a person who doesn't want to lose, who will teach me?Liang Ze felt an uncontrollable despair, and after a while his voice trembled: "Can you hug me again?"
Wu Ke's back suddenly stiffened.
"I hug you every time, and you are leaving, can you take the initiative once."
Just as a thought for the future.
Wu Ke turned around and found that Liang Ze was trying his best to maintain a smile, even though his eyes were wet.
"Just give it a hug."
He clenched his hands tightly, and before he could make a move, Liang Ze couldn't wait to hug him, the force of the bump was so great that he took a small step back, "I thought you had taken the initiative."
The body in his arms was thinner than before, and the choked breath lingered around his neck.He wrapped his hands around Liang Ze's waist stiffly, and he could even feel the heaving of his chest and the slight trembling of his body.
Time passed by every minute and every second.Liang Ze didn't make a sound, and his face didn't move as he leaned against his shoulder. Gradually, Wu Ke's shoulder felt wet.
insomnia.
Liang Ze was still awake when the door rang in the morning.He sat up when he heard the sound of the suitcase being pushed outside, leaning against the bed alone in a daze, until the sound of closing the door came back to his senses, and his body slowly fell onto the bed.
His forehead was hot and he felt like he had caught a cold, but he himself knew it was a heart disease.I got up in a daze, put on my clothes and went out to work, the sun outside was blinding my eyes.
"Liang Ze, Liang Ze—"
After calling him a few times to no avail, Hou Liang came over and patted him on the back, "What's the matter with you kid, your soul was stolen?"
Liang Ze came back to his senses, turned around and apologized to Hou Liang: "I'm sorry boss, I'm not feeling well today."
"Sick? Take a rest when you're sick. It's no big deal."
"I won't go to deliver food at noon, please arrange someone to take care of me for a day."
Hou Liang nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
I stayed up until six or seven in the afternoon, the sun began to set, and the number of customers in the store gradually increased.Liang Ze was chopping vegetables in the back kitchen, and he was called outside: "Liang Ze, Liang Ze! Someone is looking for you outside!"
He Feng squatted on the side of the road with a cigarette in his mouth. He stood up when he came out, and patted the ashes on his buttocks. "Busy? Let's chat."
"It's you." He really didn't have the energy to deal with it, "I still have to work, so let's talk about it later."
After speaking, he turned and walked towards the store, his pace was very tired.He Feng called to stop him from behind: "Did you quarrel with that Wu?"
He stamped.
"When I sent you back that night, I saw him and had a chat with him."
"What did you say?" He turned around hastily.
"Look at how promising you are." He Feng walked up to him with a casual expression on his face, "Actually, we didn't talk about anything, it's just that he recognized me."
"Recognized that you drove me back to the community?"
"Carry you? You underestimated him too much. He even remembered my surname He and lived next to your house, and asked me what was my relationship with you."
Liang Ze's lips parted slightly, looking at him in disbelief.
How can it be?
Remembering how Wu Ke cared so much at that time, but he couldn't do anything about himself, He Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Don't say he's very polite, I asked him to guess and he really guessed, and the key guess was really outrageous. Thought I was your old friend."
Wu Ke actually...
To think so.
In an instant, Liang Ze understood everything.
"Didn't you explain?"
"I want to tease him for fun, and it won't hurt me to be your friend."
Thinking that he was doing good deeds, He Feng turned his face away and smiled, but Liang Ze's face changed suddenly, and his facial features instantly tightened together: "You killed me!"
"what?"
He quickly ran back to the back kitchen and took out his mobile phone, and hid outside the store to call Wu Ke, but he couldn't get through after two or three attempts.Just as his wrists were shaking with anxiety, Gao Chenyang called.
"Hey Liang Ze."
The moment he heard his friend's voice, Liang Ze's heart was agitated, and two lines of tears fell down.Grievance, discomfort, reluctance, many complex emotions entangled together, and the relationship that endured for two full days broke through the critical point.He squatted down along the corner of the wall, with his arms tightly hugging his knees, crying into the phone.
"I rely on you..." He Feng was dumbfounded.
Gao Chenyang on the other end of the phone was also very surprised: "What's the matter, why are you crying? Tell me what happened, don't cry, Liang Ze, tell me what happened."
"Chen Yang..." Weeping uncontrollably, Liang Ze held the phone, his eyes blurred, "He's gone, he's gone abroad, he doesn't care about me anymore."
"It's not you, don't cry first." Gao Chenyang, who never knew how to comfort others, said awkwardly, "Who left?"
"Wu Ke." The voice was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible.
He Feng cursed a curse word, feeling guilty in his heart.Gao Chenyang on the other end paused for a moment, but his tone became more questionable: "You said Wu Ke, he left? Where did he go? I just called him. Isn't he leaving next week?"
what.
Liang Ze suddenly stopped talking, raised his swollen eyelids and looked blankly at the road, "What did you say?"
"I said he's leaving next week."
Across the signal, Gao Chenyang's voice was still steady and credible.
"His plane ticket flies to Los Angeles next Monday, and I said that I will send him off at that time. What does it mean that the time has changed?"
"Then where is he now?!" Liang Ze suddenly stood up, his forehead faintly dizzy.
After reporting the name of a certain hotel, Gao Chenyang advised him not to worry: "Don't go there now, he won't be there when you go, so he must not be off work so early."
It turned out that Wu Ke didn't leave at all, and lived next to the company.That place is opposite to Haohan Consulting, and Liang Ze saw the sign when delivering the food.
Wu Ke was avoiding him.But it's not because I hate him, it's just that I misunderstood him and wanted to end this messy relationship.
Liang Ze stood stupidly, facing the wall, tears were falling down as if the thread had been broken, but he still tried his best not to make any sound.After watching him for a while, He Feng took out his cell phone from his pocket, copied a phone number and left.
Back in the back kitchen, Hou Liang was taken aback: "What's wrong with the guy?! Something happened at home? A man doesn't want to cry if something happens to him!"
Liang Ze shook his head, raised his chin and looked at Hou Liang, first he smiled, but with a smile, big tears rolled out of his eyes, and he could only use his clothes to wipe them desperately.
"Crazy, this kid is crazy." Hou Liang pointed at him.
He put down his clothes and looked at Hou Liang with tears and smiles: "Boss, I want to sing."
Hou Liang choked, and choked out a word for a while——
"Sing!"
It was getting late, but the stars were shining brightly.
After finishing all the important matters, Liang Ze asked for leave, washed his face and ran to the hotel.He came across a bicycle on the road, and he pedaled and rode standing up, sweating profusely all the way.
It was only when I ran to the hotel lobby that I didn't know which room Wu Ke lived in.I still can't get through the phone, I don't know if it was blocked.Asked the front desk, the front desk saw that he was dressed in rags, raised his eyelids and said, "It's useless to tell you, you can't get into the elevator without a room card."
Then wait.
He has survived for so many years, so for a while, he is not afraid.
Sitting on the sofa in the corner of the lobby, he stared intently at the entrance.It took an hour, two hours, and it was almost midnight before I finally saw the familiar figure.
Wu Ke was still wearing a shirt and trousers, simple, with a black leather briefcase in his hand.His back was very straight, but his face was a little tired, and his figure was also much lighter.
It was only a day since I saw him, but Liang Ze felt that he couldn't bear to think about him, and wanted to cry when he saw him.Suppressing the emotions that were about to lose control, he raised his numb legs and walked over.
"Ake—"
Ok?
Wu Ke froze slightly, and was hugged tightly as soon as he turned around.
In front of everyone, Liang Ze felt that he was really crazy, but he just wanted to do this and couldn't wait for a moment.He clasped his hands tightly and buried his head on his broad chest.
Wu Ke was caught off guard by his sudden appearance, and after a brief moment of astonishment, he frowned: "How do you know I'm here, let go."
Even this impatient tone made people feel reluctant, Liang Ze didn't want to let go.
The eyes around him became more and more intriguing, Wu Ke was annoyed and embarrassed, and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Liang Ze, what are you doing, let go of your hands!"
Forcibly pulling the person away, the result is to see a pair of eyes that have not subsided.Liang Ze pursed his lips tightly, and flinched in his eyes when he was staring at him, but immediately dismissed it on his own.
No one spoke. A few seconds later, Wu Ke turned around and walked straight towards the elevator. The right hand holding the briefcase tightened suddenly.
Press the key, swipe the card, and wait.Finally opened the door, he breathed a sigh of relief and walked in.
The moment the door closed, Liang Ze followed in.
