On Wednesday morning, Zhang Zhe knocked on Chen Chen's door early. She was wearing a nightgown and rubbing her eyes, looking at Zhang Zhe standing at the door with breakfast.

He wore a carbon-gray suit, a white shirt neatly buttoned to the top, and a beautiful bow tie. Chen Chen let him into the room and walked back to the room refusing to get up.

Zhang Zhe washed his hands, followed up in the house and began to coax her to get up: "Eat breakfast and then go to bed, okay?" ”

"It's not good, it's not good, you go away." Chen Chen buried his face in the pillow and turned his back to Zhang Zhe.

"Good, get up" Zhang Zhe persuaded softly, while slandering in his heart when he became so patient and gentle.

She didn't answer, Zhang Zhe waited for a while, and bent down to look at Chen Chen's face. Breathing evenly, she fell asleep again. Just after seven o'clock in the morning, Chen Chen's face was a little dark and he looked tired.

She didn't sleep after saying goodnight yesterday, the afternoon leaflets were not distributed to a certain amount, Chen Chen got home at more than nine o'clock, and she didn't climb into bed until four o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Zhe put a hand on her shoulder and hesitated for a moment not to call her. On the other side of the detour bed, he lay down gently next to her.

The narrow double bed was a bit short for the two of them, and he lay on his side opposite Chen Chen, hugged her through the quilt, and closed his eyes.

When he woke up, Zhang Zhe had already gotten up. She stood up and rubbed her unkempt hair and walked out, while Zhang Zhe sat on the living room carpet flipping through the books on her shelves.

Chen Chen walked over, sat next to Zhang Zhe, and leaned on him like a boneless: "Why are you watching "Underground Time"? It's a very depressing story, early in the morning I recommend you to read this book "I Never Promised You a Rose Garden". Chen Chen said as he pulled out the book from the shelf.

Zhang Zhe put down the book in his hand and hugged Chen Chen: "What is this about?" The name feels like an emotional debt. ”

"It's about a single woman who lives with a dog, meets a man who is unemployed due to the financial crisis and comes out to relax, and soon after being together, the woman is diagnosed with cancer and dies." Chen Chen opened the book and read it slowly.

"Isn't this story depressing?" Zhang Zhe was a little puzzled.

"It's not depressing. When a person gets everything he wants, leaving is not so unacceptable. They love each other, they are together, and both are content because of each other's presence. Even if you leave, you know where your heart is, your heart has a home, and where your body is, it is each other's home. Chen Chen flipped through the book and leaned on Zhang Zhe's arms. The tone is gentle like an old man who has gone through countless vicissitudes, down-to-earth and warm. Zhang Zhe rested his chin on the top of her head, lowered his head and kissed her hair: "Will I be your home?" Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't answer.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Zhang Zhe reached out and straightened the messy hair on the top of her head back into place, and sighed softly.

"Do you want to prepare? We're two hours away from our departure, and you should at least have some breakfast. ”

Chen Chen sat up and grabbed Zhang Zhe's arm, "What happened to you just now, why is your shirt so wrinkled." It's still good when I open the door for you. ”

The fine and dense folds on the sleeves of the shirt looked a little sloppy, and Zhang Zhe didn't dare to answer.

"Take it off and I'll iron it for you." As she spoke, she stood up and went over to fetch the garment steamer.

The white short sleeves with the bottom outline Zhang Zhe's upper body line very well. Tight arms and abs look strong and powerful. Unexpectedly, Zhang Zhe's good figure was expected, and Chen Chen* secretly glanced at it a few times.

On the issue of Chen Chen's makeup and not wearing makeup, Zhang Zhe gained sovereignty and stopped Chen Chen from putting on makeup with the reason that Chen Chen's complexion was dull and he had acne to raise. After putting on some no-makeup cream, Chen Chen only wiped his lipstick and went out with Zhang Zhe

Thirty minutes later, Zhang Zhe stopped the car and took Chen Chen's hand and walked in.

The slender heel straightened Chen Chen's back, and Chen Chen, lined with a black dress, was slender and straight, with a sense of confidence in his eyebrows. The aura that Chen Chen was standing there exuded made Zhang Zhe suddenly feel so proud that he couldn't help but straighten up.

Zhang Zhe introduced his friends to Chen Chen one by one, and Chen Chen greeted them one by one, but in fact, he didn't remember any of them in his heart.

Chen Chen's ability to distinguish people is very poor, so bad that sometimes he has to be stunned for a while when he meets his cousin on the street before he dares to confirm whether it is or not, so Chen Chen rarely takes the initiative to greet people, for fear of admitting his mistake; But because he didn't take the initiative, most people complained that Chen Chen was very cold.

She rarely chatted with strangers, and in the face of the boring Chen Chen, the other party may also feel bored, and separated after a few perfunctory words to each other, Zhang Zhe was being pulled by a group of friends to chat, she walked to the drink table by herself, poured a glass of orange juice and slowly snorted.

"Zhang Zhe, is this your girlfriend?" A man stood opposite Zhang Zhe with a wine glass and asked, raised his chin and pointed to Chen Chen, who was drinking juice next to the table.

"Well, my girlfriend." Zhang Zhe had a smile on his face.

"Not bad, how many days are you going to hold out this time?" The other answered

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zhang Zhe put away his smiling face, slightly annoyed.

"Then you're still hard-mouthed, the third girlfriend you have this year, right? Do you like Wang Qian? I saw that you didn't find a girlfriend when she went to study abroad, and after she came back, you dated two, and now the third one. How? Wang Qian doesn't like you? The man answered.

"If you dare to talk nonsense to my girlfriend, I will never let you go." Zhang Zhe pointed at him and warned with a smile.

"Don't say it, don't say it." He raised his hand in surrender. Not asking. There were still a few friends around him who were greeting, Zhang Zhe glanced at Chen Chen again, she seemed to be out of place with the lively environment. I really don't like people very much. Zhang Zhe said a few polite words and walked towards her.

"Are you bored?"

"No, maybe I haven't rested well, my brain is a little tired, and I can't react. You talk about yours, leave me alone. ”

"They asked me if you were my boss and if I had betrayed myself for the sake of my future."

Chen Chen didn't expect this stalk, and teased: "Is this saying I'm old?" ”

"How dare you, they said that you came out with your own backlight, and you felt more upscale than me. Young. ”

Chen Chen was amused by Zhang Zhe, didn't know how to answer, and continued to drink his orange juice without saying a word.

Zhang Zhe didn't continue to speak, stood next to Chen Chen and kept silent, and watched everyone chat and laugh with Chen Chen.

"Brother Zhang Zhe, you don't call me when you come" The girl who suddenly appeared was very dazzling, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, long chestnut hair that was soft and obedient, and a white lace skirt was gentle and quiet. The girl hugged Zhang Zhe's arm, raised her head and looked at Zhang Zhe with a smile.

Chen Chen was a little embarrassed, and his heart was sour, this girl and Zhang Zhe stood together and were really compatible.

"Well, I'm here." Zhang Zhe didn't have an extra expression on his face, and he didn't say a word. glanced at Chen Chen with a little nervousness. She didn't seem to see it, and her face was as usual as she was biting the straw and drinking orange juice.

"Why haven't you been here so often lately, you didn't answer the phone yesterday, your mother made your favorite salted duck, my mother has been talking to you to stay, and she won't let me move. She doesn't care about me as a daughter anymore. The girl stretched out her hand and naturally helped Zhang Zhe straighten the collar of her shirt. Chen Chen suddenly felt that he was standing in the wrong place, a little redundant, he felt very abrupt when he wanted to leave, and he felt that he was in the way if he didn't go.

"Nothing, it was a bit busy yesterday. So I didn't pick it up, so I'll talk about it next time. Zhang Zhe began to be a little impatient, his eyes rolling in the crowd.

"I didn't expect my brother to get married so soon, I'm so envious, I really want to get married." The girl's snorting tone and the movement of hugging Zhang Zhe's arm made Chen Chen feel very cold. Chen Chen was clearly aware of her obstacles, but the embarrassing exit made her feel even more uncomfortable.

She didn't say anything, listening to the girl and Zhang Zhe being coquettish, and she didn't look up at Zhang Zhe.

Zhang Zhe, who was afraid that she would suddenly get angry, is now a little afraid of why she didn't move.

"Eh, the bride is out" Chen Chen put down the cup, pointed to the front with a little joy, and walked over happily.

Zhang Zhe was just about to speak, but Chen Chen had already walked out. Zhang Zhe pulled the girl's hand off his arm: "Sissi, you're not too young, don't be like this, okay?" It can be misleading. Without waiting for the girl named Sissi to respond, she raised her legs and chased after her.

Chen Chen blended into the crowd of onlookers, glanced around, found a gap and secretly squeezed out. She pulled out a red silk scarf from her bag and wrapped it around her head to block the sun, preparing to go home alone.

Zhang Zhe anxiously searched around in the crowd, until she raised the silk scarf and saw her walk to the door, he pushed through the crowd and squeezed out with great difficulty.

"What are you going to do?" By the time he caught up with her, she had already walked some distance downstairs.

"I don't feel well, I'll go home first." Chen Chen's tone couldn't tell anything was wrong, it didn't seem to be right, and his expression was faint, as if what had just happened was not on him. Without stopping, keep walking.

This expression is a little familiar, Zhang Zhe suddenly remembered that it was when he bumped into her blind date that day, she looked at the blind date man's expression, cold, and it didn't matter to herself. Zhang Zhe stretched out his hand and grabbed her.

"Don't touch me!" Chen Chen shook off his arm and suddenly became furious.

Zhang Zhe looked at her stunned. Chen Chen suddenly became angry, which caught Zhang Zhe a little off guard, "I can explain it to you", he replied nervously

"I don't really think there's much room for interpretation for what I just saw, if you don't mind, I'd like to go home first, and we can talk about it at another time. I can't keep my sanity right now. I'm sorry. Chen Chen didn't look up, his tone was full of restraint.

"I just wanted to take you to meet my friend" Zhang Zhe was a little at a loss, and his voice was very low.

"I know, see you, can we talk at another time." Chen Chen's words were inquiry, but the tone was indeed stating, she turned around, her pace was fast, and she looked like she was going to run away.

Zhang Zhe hesitated to chase a few steps, and slowly lowered his outstretched hand. Keep your head down and prepare to go back to the hotel. I was a little disappointed in my heart, Zhang Xuan's words may have come true.

Before he could take a few steps, Chen Chen suddenly grabbed him from behind him, Zhang Zhe didn't stabilize his body, and was pulled into her arms by Chen Chen's strength, she hugged Zhang Zhe and turned around, and fell into the road. Zhang Zhe's head was on her palm, and it really hit the ground.

Chen Chen propped himself up, nervously looked at Zhang Zhe, who had fallen into a daze, and raised his head in shock to look at the place where Zhang Zhe had just stood, the boy on the bicycle was wearing a helmet, and the 'dead fly' without brakes under his crotch was firmly plunged into the bushes, he sat up and looked at them in panic.

When Zhang Zhe raised his head, he saw Chen Chen's frightened face and the boy who had fallen into a mess, and after coming back to his senses, Chen Chen's bare arm began to ooze blood

"Are you insane?" Zhang Zhe yelled at the panicked boy, picked up Chen Chen and ran to the parking lot.

"Are you okay?" Chen Chen actually pulled Zhang Zhe to stop and asked the boy who fell.

"No, it's fine... I—" The boy fell a little confused.

"Let's go to the People's Hospital, you come with me, and I'll settle accounts for you later!" Zhang Zhe suddenly did not have a gentle appearance, and shouted at the boy with an angry face.

A layer of blood was sticking on Chen Chen's arm, Zhang Zhe didn't dare to wipe it hard, he closed the car door and sat in the cab, and drove towards the hospital. Chen Chen sat in the co-pilot without saying a word, leaning his head against his head and holding his arm.

A few minutes of walking made Zhang Zhe feel as if he had been driving for decades, and when he opened the co-pilot's door, Chen Chen stood up with the door, and fell to the ground with a weak leg. Zhang Zhe held her up and wanted to pick her up. Chen Chen shook his head, stood up straight with Zhang Zhe's arm, and walked towards the hospital little by little.

When cleaning the wound, the boy rushed over with a helmet, hunched over and followed Zhang Zhe back and forth to register for a doctor. Zhang Zhe ignored him the whole time, and took Chen Chen to see a doctor with a black face.

The doctor wiped Chen Chen's wound little by little with a cotton ball sticking to disinfectant alcohol, and the stimulation of the alcohol made her take a breath of cold air, Zhang Zhe frowned and scolded in an unkind tone: "Light." The impatient doctor took the tweezers and handed it to Zhang Zhe: "Why don't you come?" Zhang Zhe waved his hand a little awkwardly.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt." She comforted Zhang Zhe softly, frowning in pain, and even began to tremble involuntarily.

Zhang Zhe squatted next to him and saw it clearly, the slightly yellow hair trembled gently with the movements of her body, Zhang Zhe reached out to cover Chen Chen's eyes and took her into his arms.

It was all skin trauma, and the doctor sent Chen Chen away after prescribing some spray. Zhang Zhe helped her, looked at the little boy, and didn't know how to speak.

"I'm sorry, I'll pay for the medical expenses, I'll give you the nutrition fee, I don't have much money, I'm still studying, I'm sorry." The boy didn't look big, and lowered his head guiltily.

"It's okay, you pay for the medical bills, skin trauma." Chen Chen, who was silent the whole time, suddenly spoke: "Be careful next time you ride." ”

Seeing that Chen Chen didn't plan to pursue it, Zhang Zhe didn't say anything. From the moment she just hugged her and sat in the car, she kept her head down and pulled the corner of her skirt, shrunk her body without saying a word, her face was pale with fright, and when she just took the medicine, she was also trembling with fright. She seemed to be sensitive to pain, and Zhang Zhe saw it in her eyes.

Both men were silent. Until the door of the house, Chen Chen opened the door and walked in, without the slightest intention of letting Zhang Zhe enter the door. Zhang Zhe leaned against the door and watched her silently. The silence seemed a little awkward, and the two men were frozen in the doorway, and the air seemed to freeze.

Finally, it was Zhang Zhe who broke the silence:

"Can we talk?"

"Let's change the time, I don't want to talk today." Chen Chen replied without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Zhe seemed a little stunned, but he didn't give up.

"Can I come in and sit down?"

"Next time, I'm a little tired." Chen Chen did not hesitate to say the words of refusal. Zhang Zhe didn't seem to come back to his senses and began to be silent.

After a while, Zhang Zhe spoke: "We ......"

"Zhang Zhe, I don't want to lose my temper, I don't like to get angry myself, I want to talk about it at another time, let me calm down." Chen Chen's hand rubbing the corner of her skirt betrayed her, and she was not calm in fact. Zhang Zhe froze motionless in front of the door.

Zhang Zhe and the girl's intimate appearance when they were in the hotel was still in Chen Chen's eyes, and then he lost control. Chen Chen hated his hysterical appearance, it was not a good thing to care about Zhang Zhe so much, he finally learned to control his emotions, Zhang Zhe didn't even need to say much to defeat his defenses. Chen Chen was scared. Fear of losing control, fear of sadness; Also afraid of the end, so simply kill all the beginnings.

Zhang Zhe looked at Chen Chen without saying a word, and after a long time, he slowly lowered his arm holding the door, turned around and walked downstairs.

My heart seemed to be empty, and my arm began to ache faintly. Sure enough, even skin trauma is a wound. Chen Chen didn't dare to look up at Zhang Zhe, the shadow cast by the lights in the corridor signaled his departure.

There was no light on in the house, and Chen Chen rarely went home when it was pitch black. The dark space reminds Chen Chen that she only has herself in this city. There was no one, and the loneliness of being alone kept turning in Chen Chen's heart. Chen Chen stood against the wall for a while, turned on the light, changed the dirty skirt on her body, and poured laundry detergent. Rubbing the collar with one hand, tears just fell.

The sound of the door closing was very loud, and Zhang Zhe, who was shocked, lost his mind for a moment. After a while, Zhang Zhecai dragged his two legs and slowly walked to the elevator. He sat in the driver's seat and looked up at the balcony. The neighbors' balconies were dotted with flower pots, and Chen Chen's balcony was empty, as if the owner of the house was just temporarily staying overnight. Zhang Zhe didn't move until she walked up to the balcony with a piece of clothing, picked up the pole and hung it on the hanger, Chen Chen raised his arm, wiped it on his face, and then turned back to the house.

It was the black dress she wore today, swaying gently in the night air, like she was alone, struggling alone in a strange city.
