Shao Yi subconsciously began to avoid meeting with Mu Shaoxi, and every time he came over for dinner, she found all kinds of reasons not to go home.

When she was about to get off work that day, Lin Fangyuan called, "Go home for dinner in the evening, Shaoyu also came over, the fish that your father specially bought at the beach is very fresh, I will stew fish soup for you." ”

"I'm sorry, Mom, I'm afraid I can't do it at night, the things in the station are not finished yet, I may have to work overtime."

"Why have you been so busy lately? How long has it been since you came back for dinner? Lin Fangyuan said with some complaints.

"I've been busy lately, this work is like this, it may be late at night, don't wait for me, if it's too late, I won't go back." Shao Yi hung up the phone with some weakness.

After getting off work, she walked quite late alone, got out of the elevator, but ran into Guo Li in the lobby.

"So late?" Guo Li's face was not very good, and he looked very tired.

"Well, it's a little late." Shao Yi felt slightly embarrassed in his heart.

A few days ago, one night, she got off the night shift and walked back, and the apartment she rented was very close to Taili, and she usually didn't drive. That day, I saw Guo Li in front of the community, he was with a man of his age, at first, Shao Yi didn't care very much, and was ready to come forward to greet him, who knows, she didn't open her mouth, but saw that the two seemed to be arguing, Guo Li said loudly: "Since you want to tie the knot, go and tie it up, why do you still come to me?" ”

The man took his arm and seemed to whisper something.

Guo Li seemed to be even more annoyed when he heard this, he shook off the man's hand vigorously, "Enough, don't mention the relationship with me over the years, if this is your attitude towards feelings, the two of us will have nothing to say." ”

When Shao Yi heard this, he already felt a little embarrassed, and was about to leave, Guo Li turned around to leave, and when he saw her, his face was pale, and he nodded reluctantly with Shao Yi, turned around and strode away.

Afterwards, Shao Yi thought about the situation that day and felt that his relationship with that man must be extraordinary.

Fortunately, she didn't meet Guo Li again for a long time, otherwise it would be a little embarrassing.

"Do you have time for a drink?" Guo Li spoke.

Shao Yi lied to his mother, and was worried that there was nowhere to go, "Okay, but I don't drink very well." ”

The two went to a nearby bar, and Guo Li asked for two bottles of beer, "Is this okay?" ”

Shao Yi nodded.

He took a sip of his drink, "Didn't it scare you that day?" ”

"Huh?" Shao Yileng paused, reacted, and hurriedly said, "No." ”

Guo Li turned his head to look at her, "Don't be curious about my relationship with that person?" ”

"I don't have a penchant for peeping at other people's **." Shao Yi said very seriously.

Guo Li smiled, "I think it's the same, so I like you." ”

Shao Yi was taken aback by his words and looked up at him.

"You don't have to be afraid, it's the kind of love that is pure appreciation, I like you as a friend." After a deep sigh, Guo Li said slowly: "The person you saw that day, I came to this city because of him. ”

It's one thing to guess, but being told by the other party in person, Shao Yi was still shocked in her heart, she didn't expect Guo Li to expose his most private things to her like this.

"We met when we were in college, and then we started dating, he is from this city, so I came here to develop ...... when I graduated, but, a few days ago, he told me that he couldn't withstand the pressure from his family and was ready to marry a girl arranged by his family......"

There was a faint sadness in Guo Li's tone, Shao Yi thought, all feelings are the same, and all injuries are the same.

"Shao Yi, I'm such a person, are you disappointed?"

Shao Yi shook his head, "No, I respect other people's feelings. ”

The two chatted for a long time, most of the time Guo Li said, and Shao Yi listened. Unconsciously, she also drank more than two bottles, her head was a little dizzy, Shao Yi got up and went to the bathroom, her face in the mirror was already crimson, she washed her face, thinking that she couldn't drink anymore.

When she went back, Guo Li pointed to the mobile phone on her desk, "Your mobile phone has been ringing for a long time." ”

Shao Yi took it and saw that it was Mu Shaoyu calling, hesitated for a moment, but then turned back, "Brother Shaoxi, are you looking for me?" ”

"Where are you? Xiao Yi, Aunt Lin asked me to come over and bring you fish soup, but your security guard said you left early. ”

Shao Yi never thought that he would go to Taili to find him, and whispered: "I'm outside with a friend, and I'll go back soon." ”

"Where? I'll pick you up. ”

Shao Yi didn't dare to refuse anymore and told him the address.

"Your friend came to pick you up?" Guo Li asked her.

Shao Yi nodded, "Hmm."

Guo Li looked at the table below, "It's so late, I'm really sorry to drag you here to listen to my nagging." ”

"Didn't you say it was a friend? Why are you still so polite? ”

Guo Li smiled, "Okay, it's a friend, let's not talk about this, let's go." ”

As soon as they got out of the bar, Shao Yi saw Mu Shaoxi's car, and when he saw her, Mu Shaoyu got out of the car.

Shao Yi didn't expect him to come over so soon, and he didn't come back to his senses until he walked in front of him, "Brother Shaoyu......"

Mu Shaoyu looked at her, and then at Guo Li behind her.

"Oh, this is my colleague in the station, Guo Li."

Mu Shaoyu nodded at Guo Li and pulled Shao Yi over, "Let's go." ”

Shao Yi followed him into the car, and noticed that he didn't seem to be very happy, Shao Yi didn't squeak.

The car was not headed in the apartment she rented or her home.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

"You know it's so late?" Sure enough, he was angry.

Shao Yi was at fault first, and he didn't dare to argue with him, so he had to sit obediently.

The car stopped at the beach, "It's too stuffy in the car, let's go down and breathe." He finally spoke.

As soon as the sea breeze blew, Shao Yi felt that the wine was a little upsurged, so he leaned against the stone fence by the sea.

"Why are you avoiding me?" He stood in front of her.

If it were a weekday, Shao Yi would definitely pretend to be confused and say, "Where is it?" Why should I hide from you? ”

But she didn't want to be like this today, she didn't want to be trapped in that kind of entanglement, panic and guilt all the time, and she didn't want Mu Shaoxi to be sad because of her.

"Why did you come to me when you knew I was hiding from you?"

As if he didn't expect her to say this, Mu Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then slowed down his tone, "Xiao Yi, did I make you feel pressured?" I can't find you, I'm a little anxious, maybe my tone wasn't very good just now. ”

At that moment, Shao Yi really hated himself to death.

"Brother Shaoyu, don't be so good to me, it's not worth it."

The kind of self-abandonment in her tone startled Mu Shaoxi, and he stepped forward and pulled her arm, "What stupid things are you talking about." ”

Maybe it was because of the drinking, Shao Yi's emotions accumulated for many days suddenly exploded, and she shook off his hand, "Don't be so good to me anymore, if you continue like this, I won't be able to face myself anymore......"

"Xiao Yi, I know you need time, I won't force you, we're still ...... the same as before"

"Same as ever? How can it be? Shao Yi looked up at him, "Brother Shaoyu, don't waste time on me......"

Mu Shaoxi's expression froze, "Why?" Xiao Yi, in your heart, I'm just so hard to accept? Would you rather go out for a drink with someone else than have a meal with me? ”

Shao Yi lowered his head, "I have been treating you as a brother for so many years, and I have enjoyed your care and care for me with peace of mind,......, but in the end, I found that this was not the case, I owe you so much, how can I have the face to continue to accept your kindness to me?" ”

"You never owe me, Xiao Yi, I am willing to pay for everything."

"But I can't, and I can't be as ...... as before", Shao Yi shook his head and pointed to the glittering city in the distance, "The streets and alleys here, there is your shadow in every corner, and they are all laughing at me, a fool, what have I missed?" Her eyes were spicy, and she reached out and wiped it before she knew she was crying.
