Jia Ru can come back

Chapter 147 Where Are You Going To Live Tonight?

Suddenly the mobile phone placed by the bedside vibrated continuously, and when he walked over, his heart sank, it was Xiao Dong calling.

"Hello? Why aren't you at your mother's place?" Xiao Dong started to ask this. He should have driven directly to my mother's place to pick me up on Monday, but my mother opened the door and told him that I was not there.

He hesitated and replied: "I have some things to do, I may have to ask you for leave today."

There was a moment of silence on the other end, Xiao Dong asked, "Are you with him?"

I didn't know how to answer, so I could only keep silent.

He only heard a low laugh from him, and then said slowly: "Xiaoru, breaking up is a big taboo at any time, you either get back together with him quickly, then you can break my thoughts, from now on From now on, I, Xiaodong, will not give you any more thoughts; or we will simply break up with him, then we will try to start, whether it is love or marriage, it is up to you. There are two paths, you always have to choose one. Yes, right?"

"I……"

Just as he said a word, he interrupted him: "I'll wait for you in the courthouse before I get off work today. If you don't reply, I'll take it as your choice." At the end of the sentence, he hung up the phone.

I have known Xiao Dong for so long, this is the first time I heard him speak to me in this tone.Even if I don't see anyone, I can still hear the anger in his words, and he is rarely angry, and even if he is angry, it is not easy for people to detect.

If it was Zhou Yu talking to me like that just now, I would have made a choice that went against his mind without saying a word.But this person is Xiao Dong, not to mention hesitation, I have to think about it, the method can't be so aggressive.

I went to eat something in the breakfast room alone, and asked if I could take it away. The waiter said no, so I had to pay for a pot of porridge from the restaurant kitchen and bring it back to my room.

When I came back to the room, I saw Zhou Yu was still sleeping, the quilt was lifted for him, it looked hot.

As soon as I touched his forehead, it was obvious that the temperature had dropped a lot, his face became pale after losing the blush, and his lips were also chapped and peeled due to the high fever.I wiped him with a paper towel dipped in water, and it was a little better.

Afterwards, he sat on the edge of the opposite bed and stared blankly at the sleeping person in a daze, which wasn't really a daze, but just thinking about the past three days.From the time he found out that he was staying downstairs with his mother every night, until now he was lying there sick, how many times he had ups and downs, and what changes in his mind.

Thinking back to the thought just now, why can I push back against Zhou Yu without hesitation?Why can't it be done to Xiao Dong, instead he has to change his mind before giving an answer?

In fact, there is only one answer, habit.

Because Zhou Yu and I grew up together, I have seen his temper, bad habits, and all kinds of bad things, and I am used to being straightforward, and I don’t suppress my temper.And Xiao Dong is a friend, a senior, Bole who introduced me to the industry, no matter how familiar he is, he cannot be more familiar with Zhou Yu.

It's like a family entertaining friends for dinner. They always put the guests first. If there is not enough space, the family members will be removed. It is not said that the guests are not allowed to come to the table. On the contrary, it seems rusty and deliberate.

Zhou Yu is like a family member, and Xiao Dong is like this guest friend.

The distinction between intimacy and estrangement was immediately apparent.

Thinking about it so far, I already had the answer in my heart, and wanted to call Xiao Dong, but after thinking about it, I still sent him a text message.

I'm not coming to court today.

As soon as he finished posting, he heard Zhou Yu coughing, as if he was about to wake up.

After I put the phone on the bed, I got up to pour water, and when I turned around, I saw him half propped up there, coughing and looking at the screen of my phone.I took the water glass and walked over, frowned and asked, "Can't you stop being sick?"

He took the cup from my hand and drank a few sips of water before he stopped coughing, "I just woke up for a while, and I saw you concentrating on your phone, so I just wanted to see what you were doing."

Open your eyes and talk nonsense!If he did wake up first, he would definitely be able to see me answering texts from his vantage point.

Suddenly he thought of something, and stretched out his hand to push me, "Go away, don't be infected by me."

I said angrily, "Why weren't you afraid that I would be infected by you when you were holding my hand before?" I waited on him all night, and it's only now that I think about it.

He turned his face away in embarrassment, and changed the topic by asking other things: "Is there anything to eat? I'm so hungry."

I gave him the polenta I had brought back from earlier, and drank it all in one gulp.When it was over, he asked, "What time is it? Have you eaten yet?" Seeing that it was already 12 o'clock, I thought I had been thinking about it for so long.

Zhou Yu made a fuss and wanted to order food again, so I let him go.Others have a fever and a cold and have no appetite, but he can eat like a cow, and he is probably recovering quickly, obviously his body temperature has not risen again.

The rain outside the window finally stopped, God is probably the most capricious arbiter, deliberately stopped the rain in the afternoon, meaning to go back to city A immediately, then I can just go back to the court before I get off work at 10 o'clock.But just now I have made a decision, and I told Xiao Dong about it, and he only replied with one word after [-] minutes—OK.

He couldn't see his emotions or his thoughts, just like he always did.

"Jia Xiaoru, if you want to go back, I'll get up and drive you back now." Zhou Yu suddenly said.

I looked at him sideways, "Who told you that I want to come back immediately?"

"You keep looking out the window, isn't it telling me the rain has stopped?"

"The rain has stopped, can you drive the car like you? If you want to go back, I'll drive."

If Zhou Yu hadn't been sitting on the bed, he would have jumped at this moment, "Who can't drive a car anymore? Look, I'm sure I'll be able to drive you back to City A safely, and I'll settle the score for missing a hair. Are you driving? Standing so big Open your stomach, I'm still a man."

This person is simply an embarrassing person with stubborn machismo, and he is too lazy to talk to him.

If I didn't mention it in the afternoon, he wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. In addition, he had a fever again not long after eating, and he suddenly lost his energy. After drinking a few glasses of water, he fell asleep again.

We left at [-] o'clock on Tuesday morning. Firstly, although he still had a cough, he no longer had a fever and lack of energy. Secondly, both of us had to go to work, so we really couldn't continue to ask for leave.But I estimate the time, at least until after ten o'clock to arrive in City A.

When the car was going up and down the ramp from the expressway, I checked the time. After five hours of driving, it was past eleven o'clock.It was already twelve o'clock when we arrived in the urban area. Zhou Yu proposed to have dinner first, and I didn't object. After eating, he sent me to the court first.

When he was about to get off the car, he called me in the car: "Jia Xiaoru."

I paused without looking back, when I heard him ask, "Where are you going to live tonight?"

"Apartment." After dropping two words, he walked into the court, regardless of the reaction of the person behind him.

It was less than one o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still no one in the office area. As soon as he sat down, he saw Xiao Dong walking out of the office.My heart skipped a beat, feeling guilty for no reason, I lowered my head thinking he wouldn't notice me.Seeing that he was about to go out, he turned back unexpectedly, and then, "Jia Ru? When did you come back?"

After being called, I couldn't pretend to be a snail anymore, so I had to raise my head to face the past, "I just came back."

He turned back and walked to the office, and ordered me: "Then come to my office."

Xiao Dong threw me a dozen documents, which were the economic case I was in charge of before, "Chen Ming, please contact him, his case is going to be put on the agenda, and all aspects must be in place, including evidence collection and investigation. .”

I nodded, "Got it."

"I received your text message yesterday." His sudden change of subject made me stunned, and I saw him tap the table twice with his fingers, and asked again: "Have you made up your mind yet?"

"Hmm." I responded lightly.

"Okay, I will naturally not take back what I say. I will pay attention to my words and deeds in the future, and return to the relationship between our previous subordinates and colleagues. Don't have any grudges against me because of this, it will be the same as before."

Xiao Dong's attitude was beyond my expectation, but also seemed to be expected.He has always been such a calm and rational person, even when it comes to feelings, except for his sudden anger that day and he made it clear to me, even when he was rarely irrational.

Seeing that I was silent, he curled his mouth into a smile and said, "Don't be so serious, you and I haven't really started, so if we reject a proposal, another proposal will naturally be accepted, and You are the one who decides."

I pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "Senior, I understand this matter, thank you."

I didn't know what to say other than thank you, Xiao Dong shrugged and asked me if I had eaten, I replied that I had eaten and I would not invite any more, he was busy with things in the morning and he still didn't have time to eat.

Before I got off work, I made an appointment with Chen Ming, the person in charge of the economic case, to meet tomorrow, and the appointment was at the other party's company.Xiao Dong asked me about my progress, and after I reported it, he nodded and said that he would come with me tomorrow.The two walked out of the courthouse while chatting about business matters, Xiao Dong paused, turned to me and said, "Let's leave it at that today, we'll discuss it in detail tomorrow."

After explaining, he went straight to the parking lot. When I walked out of the court gate, his car drove past me slowly.

Watching his car drive away from sight, I secretly heaved a sigh of relief, only Xiao Dong can be so clear about public and private.Otherwise, if he insists on sending me off again, I really don't know how to refuse.

However, I was slightly surprised when I turned around, thinking that I would see a black SUV parked there swaggeringly when I went out at the end of the day.After I made it clear that I would go back to the apartment, with Zhou Yu's temperament, it was impossible not to take advantage of the victory and pursue it.
