Opposite shore

Chapter 16

Yang Jun waited a little restlessly.

Zhou Xuxing called him the day before and told him to find someone with him, so he knew that someone had offended Zhou Xuxing.This kind of thing hadn't happened for a long time after they worked, so he rushed over according to the agreed time and place without saying a word.

After the meeting, Zhou Xuxing briefly explained what happened to him, saying that someone was always pestering Chen An, and he also heard that this person was always hanging out in a club after get off work, so he simply came over to block people.

Yang Jun pointed to the dazzlingly lit building in front of him, "Here? Go in?"

Zhou Xuxing raised his head and glanced, "I've said hello to the boss here, just wait for me inside when the time comes, I'll call you if something happens, come in."

But Yang Jun waited in the corridor for a long time but didn't see Zhou Xuxing coming out, and couldn't hear any movement at the door. Instead, a few clubhouse bodyguards in black clothes and sunglasses came and stood aside without saying a word.

Zhou Xuxing came out after a while, and it seemed that he was not in a good mood. Seeing him coming out, one of the people in a black suit stepped forward, "Brother Zhou."

Zhou Xuxing looked up and saw a group of people startled, then smiled politely, "Boss Yin is worrying, there are not so many people, just go in and let him have a long memory."

The man nodded, took off his suit jacket, stretched his arms casually, opened the door and went in.

Zhou Xuxing turned his head and waved to Yang Jun, "Let's go."

Yang Jun was stunned, and came back to his senses after walking out the door of the clubhouse, "I can't tell, Zhou Xuxing, you have some connections."

Zhou Xuxing looked absent-minded, and said after a while, "It's not mine, my sister's connections."

Yang Jun suddenly realized, "So what did you ask me to do? Come to the sensual place for a walk?"

"I thought we had to do it," Zhou Xuxing said, "I didn't expect Yin Jue to be quite interesting."

Yang Jun nodded, looked at him, and patted Zhou Xuxing's shoulder, "Are you okay? You've been listless since you came out, and those who didn't know thought you were the one who was beaten."

Zhou Xuxing pondered for a while, then turned his head and asked him seriously, "Old Yang, tell the truth, am I quite an asshole?"

Yang Jun looked more surprised than when he came out of the clubhouse just now: "The first day you knew about this?"

The project Chen An was in charge of finally came to an end, and Ge Zhen didn't feel sorry for him after what happened last time, and the two of them didn't even talk much anymore.

It wasn't until the end of the project that Chen An and Zhang Yang went to the airport to send someone off, only to find that there was a bruise on Ge Zhen's cheekbone for some reason. He turned around and asked Zhang Yang secretly, "What's wrong with his face?"

After this period of time, Zhang Yang probably also saw that Chen An didn't like Mr. Ge very much, so he would take over many jobs that had to be handed over to Ge Zhen.He lowered his voice and said, "Did you know? It's been several days. He said he fell, but it's more like being beaten up."

Chen An couldn't help but smiled, but when he turned his head, he found that Ge Zhen was looking at him. He quickly suppressed his smile and followed Zhang Yang into the car.

Along the way, Chen An was in a very happy mood. When he arrived at the airport, Chen An helped Ge Zhen unload his luggage, and when he handed him the suitcase, he said angrily, "Mr. Ge, take care, and be careful not to fall again."

Ge Zhen smiled reluctantly, "It's not thanks to you."

Chen An's smile froze for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

"But your crush really doesn't know anything." Ge Zhen smiled complacently and disgustingly, "Next, you have to take care of yourself."

After the project ended, Chen An, Zhang Yang and some people in charge of the project got a day off. Chen An didn't care about how to relax, he kept contacting Zhou Xuxing.

No one returned the message, and no one answered the phone.

He didn't know what he was thinking, after he got out of the company, he hailed a taxi and went to Zhou Xuhang's house.

But there is no one at home.

It is true that it is not yet Zhou Xuxing's off-duty time, Chen An is waiting at the door, he has a kind of blind stubbornness in his heart, he feels that he must see Zhou Xuxing today, otherwise he will not be able to sleep well all night.

But he waited until night fell outside the window and the lights came on, Zhou Xuxing did not come back.

After calming down a little bit, he gradually felt the cold in the corridor in early winter. He stood up and paced slowly, thinking, maybe Zhou Xuxing has a social event tonight?Otherwise let's go.

Just as he was hesitating, the elevator suddenly dinged. Chen An turned his head and saw Zhou Xuxing walking out of the elevator in a hurry with his luggage.

"How did you come?"

He approached Chen An and found that he was chilling all over, so he subconsciously touched his hand.Before Chen An even had time to shrink back, he was caught off guard by Zhou Xuxing's warm hand.

"So cold? Did you wait a long time?"

"No..." Chen An seemed to be stunned by the cold, and his thinking became much more sluggish. After hearing this, he remembered what to say, "I called you...sent you a message...you didn't reply."

"I just got off the plane, and I haven't had time to read the news." Zhou Xuxing hurriedly opened the door and pulled him in, "What do you want from me?"

He turned on the light and saw that Chen An's ears were red from the cold, and turned up the temperature of the air conditioner again, "You are stupid, the door code has not been changed, I don't know how to come in and wait."

Chen An probably felt better after entering the room. He took the hot water from Zhou Xuxing and held it in his hand, and suddenly got to the point, "Ge Zhen seems to have been beaten."

"Really," Zhou Xuxing replied perfunctorily, without seeming surprised at all, "How do you know that?"

"He has bruises on his face," Chen An said, "so do you know him?"

Zhou Xuxing didn't seem to intend to seriously conceal it, he "tsk", "I forgot to tell Ah Fu not to hit too obvious places."

"So it's really you." Chen An confirmed again.

"Yes, he deserves it."

"Then did he say anything to you?" Chen An asked anxiously, as if he was eager to know the answer.

Zhou Xuxing stopped packing his things, took a deep look at him, "I said something..."

"This man doesn't say a word of truth, don't believe anything he says, it's all lies." Chen An was a little agitated, and couldn't hold the cup steadily in his hand.

"It's all fake?" Zhou Xuxing was packing his suitcase with his back turned to him, but when he heard this, he put down the things in his hands and stood up to face Chen An, "Then tell me, what is real?"

"Come on, tell me yourself, it's better than listening to a bastard's hearsay when I don't know anything."

Zhou Xuxing's serious expression frightened Chen An, his voice began to tremble, "Don't be like this..."

"So what is fake? Is it fake that he molested you in high school, or is it fake that you have always liked me?" Zhou Xuxing's tone was calm, but his expression was gloomy.

"I've given him a hard time about the first thing, now let's talk about the second."

"Chen An, how long are you going to keep it from me?"

Chen An was about to despair. He lowered his head and remained silent for a while, then tremblingly said in a tone almost begging for mercy, "Zhou Xuxing, don't treat me like this..."

Zhou Xuxing's serious expression was a little loose, and he didn't seem to expect such a big reaction from him. He felt that Chen An was about to cry, and he couldn't stand still, so he wanted to go forward to help him , but was pushed away by the opponent.

Chen An's eyes were red, he suppressed the choking in his throat, and asked him softly, "Just act like you don't know if it's okay, act like nothing happened, even if I like you, it's all in the past, it's all in the past ,OK?"

"What happened before?" Zhou Xuxing murmured, "Pretend nothing happened?"

He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Chen An, are you so unconfident in me?"

Chen An couldn't understand the meaning of Zhou Xu's jargon, his eyes were full of bewilderment and puzzlement.

Zhou Xuxing sighed softly, "Actually, I wanted to find a suitable time and place to tell you formally, but it seems that I have kept you waiting for too long, so let's save the sense of ceremony for later. "

He got up and took out a high-speed rail ticket from the coat pocket hanging at the door and handed it to Chen An, "I went home to tell my parents that I don't plan to get married. Although I convinced them on this matter , but I may not be able to tell them about my sexual orientation for a while, so I'm still sorry for that."

Chen An looked at him in shock.

"Actually, I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, but I haven't figured out what is so good about me that deserves your love for so many years."

"But it's okay if you can't figure it out." He smiled unconsciously, "After all, I'm with you, and I've earned it anyway."

"I always feel that promises are illusory, but you just let me say this time, I will definitely make it."

For a moment, Chen An felt that he had fallen into a void. The voice in his ears was like a stone falling into a river. ripple.

"Chen An, I will like you more than you like me, can you be with me?"

Chen An was stunned for a long time.

What is the stone road that is about to end, and the smoky suburbs suddenly open?What kind of experience is it to keep the clouds open and see the moonlight?Probably never in his life had he felt it more than now.

Chen An drowned when he was very young because of improper care by his parents, so his grandmother named him "An" and hoped that no matter what difficulties he encountered in the future, he would have a shore to live in.

He has indeed experienced many drowning-like moments in his life so far, but in the end he returned to the shore either with difficulty or smoothly.

Except for Zhou Xuxing, the other side that he has never been able to reach.

Unlike fairy tales, in reality, the pony who forced his way across the river would probably drown on the way.

But Zhou Xuxing built a bridge, and rushed from the opposite side without hesitation.

Like the morning sun after a shower breaks through the gaps in the clouds, there is nowhere to hide the unknown feelings and dust-sealed memories that are firmly pressed at the bottom of the box. Wipe off the dust and look carefully, yes The obsession that has never been delusional to have the following, the lonely courage to do it knowing that it can't be done, and the sentence "I love you" that has been rubbed thousands of times but failed to say.
