In the morning, the sky is getting brighter. After the morning shift staff finished punching the card, Yiyi entered the office. At this time, Jiangyang is still busy, and the overnight shift is the first and last time to enter the peak period, and only between 2 o'clock and 5 o'clock in the middle of the night is the wiring volume slightly relaxed. Although he was busy, Jiang Yang still tried his best to take a look at the office door when it opened. It was almost 8:40 a.m., and he finally saw Peng Liu walk in, with a bag on his shoulder and breakfast in his hand. She walked down the aisle to her team and turned her head slightly to look at him. He looked up, over the computer screen, and at her as well. The two smiled slightly, and with a greeting, Peng Liu walked towards him. He could almost guess what she was going to do. Sure enough, the girl put down the loaded load in her hand by his keyboard, then looked at him silently for a moment before walking away. Jiang Yang immediately noticed that from all around, across the long office desk, and across the computer monitor, several confused faces cast their eyes together. He glanced at each of the faces, and saw that there were two of his companions. His face turned red, and he struggled to control his concentration and focus on his work, so as not to be embarrassed.

At 9 o'clock after work, he said goodbye to the team leader and two companions and turned off the host. Picking up the breakfast brought by the girl, he stood there and hesitated for a moment, then walked through the aisle with a very cheerful and relaxed look, and sat down on the edge of Peng Liu's seat. She's not in a group with him, she's in group 5, she's in charge of RPG web games, and it's also a project team with a lot of players, and he sits next to her at the peak of the morning launch, and he keeps silent, watching her wiring, and makes up his mind to let this silence be delayed. As he ate the hot bun she gave him, the girl turned her head to look at him from time to time. "Thank you for the morning." After eating, he whispered, then stood up and left. The girl looked back in disappointment as he walked away and away from the office.

Immediately—immediately he saw that the two companions were staring at him with wide eyes. Their eyes made him panic.

Walking out of the tense company hall, Jiang Yang strode across the road, stepped up the long steps of the rows of small shops, found the familiar restaurant, ate a bowl of rice bowls, and then returned to the apartment. As soon as he arrived in the room, he didn't care about anything, closed the curtains, and fell asleep on the bed, unconscious.

He slowly drifted into a half-asleep sleep and heard a knock on the door and the sound of staccato conversation. "Jiangyang." It's Peng Liu calling him, it's time to get off work in the morning? This was followed by another girl's question, "Is Jiang Yang here?" "He's working an all-night shift today, could he still be sleeping?" Peng Liu then asked. "Well, the all-night shift is very tiring, he must still be sleeping, let's not disturb him." "Uh-huh, wait a little longer." As she spoke, the two girls walked away at the same time, their footsteps getting farther and farther away. Jiang Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief and fell asleep again. When he opened his eyes for the second time and was woken up by the ringing of the mobile phone in his trouser pocket, he reached out and reached for the chair in front of the table, took the trousers on the back of the chair to the bed, took out his mobile phone, and looked at the caller ID: sister.

"Xiao Ai."

"Hey! Is my brother off work? ”

"It's time to get off work," he replied, looking at his phone, "but we'll have to go to work in a few hours." ”

"Working the night shift?"

"Hmm. What about Xiao Ai, are you off work? ”

"Yes, Sister Ling and I are off work."

"That's nice."

"Is my brother coming back this week?"

At this time, Jiang Yang vaguely heard another voice on the other end of the phone, this voice was obviously near his sister, very familiar, and he concluded that she was with his sister.

"I can't go back, I have to go to work."

"Tomorrow is Sunday."

"I'm sorry, sister."

Then, he heard someone on the other side of the phone near his sister say, "Xiao Ai give it to me." "Jiang Yang, when will you be able to come back?" Gu Ling's voice suddenly came.

"Uh," he thought, "at the end of the month, I'll talk to the team leader." ”

"When exactly is the end of the month?"

"Let's say it's the 20th."

"Next week."

"Well, next week."

"How many days?"

"Two days at most."

"Three days, please, okay?"

"Three days, good! I tried my best. ”

"Don't cheat."

"Don't cheat."

"By the way, how are you doing these days?"

"Very well, what about you?"

"I'm fine, too."

The two soon started talking, talking about their respective jobs, and talking about all kinds of trivial things in their daily lives, what sheets should be taken out to dry, meals should be diligent and thrifty, expenses should not be wasted, and they should go to bed early and get up early. During the conversation, Xiao Ai's voice also mixed in from time to time, showing that she was very envious and jealous.

After saying goodbye to Gu Ling and his sister, he hung up the signal, couldn't sleep anymore, and got up from the bed. After getting dressed, he opened the door, walked to the balcony to put away his washed clothes, and on the way back to his room, his eyes unconsciously fell on a single room. The door was open, the floor was shiny, and a companion sat on a wooden table piled high with personal belongings, his feet in his chair, looking at his phone. In his view, there are two pairs of calves that are shaking mischievously up and down. He took a step back, and the owner of his leg lay on the gray leather sofa, hanging his neck comfortably and intently looking at the phone in his hand. There were also a few unidentified voices that he could easily tell were from the TV show, and he determined the location of another person: behind a wall that he couldn't see, the man was sitting in front of the computer. All four of them are here.

"Hey, Jiang Yang is up?" The companion with both feet on the chair put down his phone and shouted.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yang walked into their room with a smile.

"Oh! We're waiting for you. Peng Liu stopped watching her TV series and stood up. The two people lying on the sofa also put away their phones and stood up. "Yes, just wait for you to eat, I'm dying of hunger." The companion who got up from the couch cried out in pain and shoved him out of the room.

He felt a little strange, "Why are you waiting for me to eat?" He asked the shouting companion as he exited the room. I saw him half-turn and retreat to the door, raise his hand and point to a girl in the room and say, "You ask her." ”

Jiang Yang didn't ask, and walked away quickly in understanding. "Are you going or not?" The companion behind him shouted.

"Come, I'll put my clothes away."

They found a restaurant that "I really want to come", and several people discussed and ordered, all of which were cheap and affordable. During the meal, Jiang Yang tried to restrain himself from talking less and not participating in their topics. It was a strange thing, and he almost asked: Why did you suddenly remember to have a dinner? Is something wrong? Eventually, he gave up on asking such questions. Well, a dormitory and a home, dinner together to enhance feelings.

While eating, he could feel that something was being restrained. As soon as the girl's voice fell, the two companions followed closely behind, as if worried about who had robbed them of their chat. Jiang Yang only buried his head in eating, and sandwiched the dishes closest to him on the dining table. When there was a gap between the chats, he noticed Peng Liu staring at him across the table, and he looked at her in confusion for a long time.

"Why doesn't Jiang Yang speak?" Wu Mengxue interrupted the topic and asked.

Jiang Yang raised his head and looked at him with four faces. He bared two rows of white teeth and smirked silently. Then, the four faces smiled as well. "He doesn't like to talk, and when he goes to work, he is busy with the company's QQ, and then he doesn't say a word in the group." A companion explained.

"Thank goodness." He was secretly grateful, bowed his head and continued to eat his own food.

The dishes are empty. "When you're done eating, let's go back." Peng Liu said, walking to the checkout counter. He followed.

“33。”

"Thirty-three... Except for five..."Jiang Yang muttered to himself, before he could calculate the result, the girl had already paid the money.

"You don't have to look for it." He handed Peng Liu ten yuan.

"Count me in." She replied.

"Oh! Really? The two companions behind him asked gratefully.

"You two have to give it to me." Peng Liu said immediately. "Hey, yes, you two have to give." Wu Mengxue repeated on the side.

"Wow, wow—" The two companions sighed loudly, looked at Jiang Yang, and then at Peng Liu, and reluctantly took out the coin and handed it to her.

Jiang Yang also handed the banknote to the girl, but the girl pushed hard and left.

"Wow, you want our money, but Jiangyang's doesn't want it." On the way back, the two were uneven and kept emphasizing. Because of this, they started the conversation.

It was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and after walking the stairs, Jiang Yang walked in the front, opened the door lock, turned back to greet his roommates, walked quickly through the corridor, opened the door, and closed the door smoothly. He unscrewed the chandelier, opened the window to let air into the room, and packed up the clothes in the closet. Then he sat down on the desk, opened the unfinished book and looked quietly. Soon, he was disturbed by the outside world, and the door was gently knocked a few times, "Jiang Yang? The man outside the door shouted softly.

"Huh?" He opened the door, "Something?" ”

"It's nothing," Peng Liu smiled slightly, "Come and play." She boldly walked into his room, circled the room, and sat on the edge of the bed. Then he looked around, looked at the floor and looked at the glass in the window, then at the clothes Jiang Yang was wearing and the supplies on the desk, and at the sheets, pillowcases, and the chair leaning against the side of the bed.

"I'll give it back to you." He didn't give up.

"How many more times do you want me to say it, I don't want to." The girl said solemnly.

At this moment, Jiang Yang didn't want her to come from the bottom of his heart, he just wanted to be quiet, but he couldn't open his mouth to ask her to leave. He acquiesced to her permission to sit there, and continued reading the book by himself. His seat happened to be facing away from the bed, and although he could lift his head in the middle of a book, he couldn't see what the other person in the room was doing.

After about a few minutes, the girl stood up and walked out of the room (though the door was not closed). Ten minutes later, he heard a playful sound, or rather a not-so-serious noise, coming from the hallway. The noise was getting closer, the words were being heard more and more clearly, and he walked to the door to see what was going on. Peng Liu seemed to be about to come to his room, but was blocked by his classmates in front of him. "Shall you go away?" Peng Liu shouted. "Hey! Hey, where are you going? The boy shouted as he threw his arms out in front of the girl. It doesn't matter where I go, you get out of the way. The girl shouted dissatisfiedly, moving from side to side, looking for an opportunity to get rid of him. But the boy didn't mean to give in at all, "Hmph! Hey. He laughed, "You can't run away from where you go." "Go away, I'm not here for you." "No!" - the boy smiled deeply - "No, no, haha." "A few doors opened, and a few classmates walked towards them." Hey, what are you doing? "Fan Xiaolei is bullying Peng Liu again." "No," the men laughed smugly. Obviously, the people who stopped in front of Pengliu Road felt very embarrassed and gave up.

Jiang Yang hurriedly sat back in his chair, and after that, Peng Liu followed into the room. He looked at her, and she looked at him. The girl had just sat down on the edge of the bed, and at once she got up again, closed the door of his room, and locked it.

After reading a chapter, he turned back to break the silence: "What time is it?" ”

"It's almost nine o'clock," replied the girl, and then asked, "what time are you going to the all-night shift?" ”

"A quarter past eleven."

"That's more than two hours."

He finished reading another chapter, and he didn't know the time, this time he didn't ask, but found his phone at the bedside. 21：25。 He leaned over and wanted to go to the bathroom to take a shower at this time, but he immediately dispelled such thoughts. "I'm going to wash my hair." He stood up and said. "yes, okay." The girl answered.

He came back from washing his hair with shampoo in his hand. The girl stared at him unabashedly, with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "It's late, Peng Liu." As he spoke, he walked to the bed, but stood still and sat back in his chair.

The girl deliberately didn't take his words as a sign from her, her face flushed slightly, she looked at her phone and said, "Well, you're going to work in two hours." ”

"I didn't mean that, I mean, it's late, you have to go back to bed."

The girl shook her head, "It's okay, I'm used to going to bed late." ”

He sighed softly. After reading the book for a while, when he opened the door and went out to relieve himself, he saw a man standing by his door. When the man saw him, he immediately withdrew his neck. Well, how long have you been listening? He thought to himself, fortunately he didn't say anything superfluous. "Looking for Peng Liu?" He asked.

The companion ignored him and looked at Peng Liu in the room, "Ah, you are here." He said.

"Why?" Peng Liu asked.

"Oh! What? No, no, don't do it, don't do it. His companion smiled strangely as he stepped back against the wall, then reached out and closed the door in front of him. Jiang Yang noticed that his eyes were glaring at him, and although he was smiling, he could tell that he was not happy. He came back with his hands, and the boy was still standing. "Would you like to come in and sit down?" He asked, pushing the door open.

"It's a joke." The companion replied.

"Not coming in?"

"No, I'll go back to sleep." The boy said and walked away.

23 On the hour he closed the book, opened the drawer, and took out some change and put it in his pocket. The girl was still in the room, he couldn't help it, turned to her, and said in a pleading tone: "Go back to your room quickly, Peng Liu, it's late at night." ”

"I'll go to work with you."

He thought he had misheard, but he immediately reacted from her eyes, it wasn't a joke. Not at all.

The two walked out of the room, Jiang Yang turned off the light and locked the door. When going down the stairs, Jiang Yang begged hard, hoping that she could go back to sleep, and he never worried about what harm would be done to him by walking at night. But the girl insisted on accompanying, walking firmly, and refused to turn back. "What a good girl." Jiang Yang thought to himself.

On the way to the company, there was a very wide street, and the two of them passed by one store after another, and finally Jiang Yang suddenly stood at the steps and stopped. "Peng Liu," he stopped, calling out the girl's name.

"Huh?"

"Just send it here."

"Nope! Delivered to the office. ”

"No!" He imitated her tone and said, "Get it here." ”

"Why?"

"Because you should."

She tilted her head and looked at him in bewilderment.

"I think," he said slowly, "you're spending too much time on me, so let's get someone else." This passage almost explains the meaning. The girl was very calm, "So what does it matter?" You don't mind. She said.

The apartment they lived in was around the county seat away from the city, and the roads on all sides had not been completely replaced by oil roads, and there were no street lights on the road, because it was almost early in the morning, and the two of them were almost standing in darkness, only talking with the help of the light of a shop behind them. He turned on the flashlight just in time.

"Thank you for your kindness, but did you notice that there is someone who cares about you very much?" He asked earnestly.

"You?"

"Not me."

"No, I didn't find it." She replied coldly.

"That man is right next to you."

"What-no, there's no one else around but you, no- there's no one like that."

"You met not long ago." He followed her as he spoke, almost without directly naming her name.

Silent. He looked at the time, "Okay, that's it, I'm leaving, you don't have to send me." He relentlessly strode down the steps. Peng Liu shouted his name loudly on the steps. He turned his head and ran towards her. "If only I had to send you back to your dorm now." He came up to her and said with some seriousness.

Silent.

"Even if you're late."

She remained silent.

"Alright then, good night, I'm leaving." He walked away briskly again, without looking back. He hated what he said, "What are you doing?" He scolded himself in his heart: why should he be strong, say some desolate things to trick her to leave, and say things that make her unhappy and make her sad.

The next day, he received breakfast from Peng Liu's morning shift, which made him very embarrassed. "I'll buy it myself after work, take it." He said that he also felt that he was talking too much.

Peng Liu did not respond to him and sat silently in his office chair. He stood up and sat down again.

Today, he did not go back to the dormitory to lie down, but before 11 o'clock at noon, he went to the restaurant, ordered a steamed dumpling and duck leg rice, set off with two lunch boxes, and took the elevator to the company to bring lunch to Peng Liu. Wait for her to bring it up. "I've brought you food." He replied bluntly.

He hadn't even bothered to have a brunch himself, and before Peng Liu could react, he had already hurriedly waved goodbye to her, because he did feel a little tired. In the restaurant where he was accustomed to dining, halfway through the egg fried rice, a boy approached him from the door, came to the table, stared at him for a long time, and then sat down in the chair opposite him.

"Huh?" He looked up.

"There's something I think needs to talk to you about."

"Let's talk about it."

"Uh... Until then, alas, forget it, wait until you finish your meal. ”

He groaned, then gobbled up a few bites and ate it all. "Say it." He pulled a tissue from the table and wiped it to his mouth.

"I'll ask you a question first," he said, and the boy in front of him stood up, "You didn't go to work alone last night, did you?" ”

He threw the tissue in the trash and stood up, "Well," he admitted, "Peng Liu accompanied me to work." ”

Jiang Yang finished settling the bill, and the two walked out of the store. He walked in the direction of his apartment, and the boy walked side by side with him. "You're not going to work?" He asked.

The boy did not answer him, and then asked, "What have you talked about, can you tell me?" ”

Although he was still curious about the purpose of the boy's question, he could already feel the reason for his question.

"Of course, it's convenient to say, but why do you want to know the content of my chat with him?"

"Don't beat around the bush!"

He stopped, and the two stopped on the sidewalk of the apartment complex, glaring at each other. "Don't beat around the bush either!" Jiang Yang said, "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, okay?" I'm tired and want to go back to rest quickly. Why didn't you even go to work, didn't even listen to the orders of the team leader, and came here to find me, just to say something? ”

"I want to remind you that you and her are impossible." The boy finally said. But Jiang Yang's face was full of puzzlement, "What could it be?" What's impossible? He asked.

"You know what you know. She and I are fellow villagers, and you, an outsider, had better not get involved. ”

"Oh—I see, I see," he snapped to his senses and nodded, "Maybe you've misunderstood something." ”

"Misunderstanding? There's no misunderstanding, you'd better not have any more relationships with her. ”

"Socializing?" He exclaimed, "When did I date her?" Make the words clear. ”

"Think I don't know? Just look at what has happened in the past few days, you and her, back and forth in the company, on the road and in the dormitory, this matter is well known, what else do you have to deny? ”

The boy spoke in a harsh tone, staring at him with a certain anger on his face. But he froze, and stood there, confused. After a stalemate of about 3 minutes, Jiang Yang slowly and cautiously whispered, "Everyone said that?" Say I'm dating her? ”

"Nonsense!"

"I really don't understand this!" Jiang Yang looked very annoyed, because he was indeed annoyed by a group of people who didn't know the truth. "It's just a greeting between roommates and a concern between colleagues, how can you get along? What do you guys think? ”

"It doesn't exist, the situation you said doesn't exist." The boy interrupted.

"What doesn't exist?"

"Friendship between men and women."

"I don't approve of this, I don't approve of it, there is friendship between men and women, it's just that everyone is too sensitive and too easy to misunderstand such friendship. Just like this time. ”

"Hmph, huh—the boy curled his lips and grinned, shook his head, and exhaled—"What a childishness! He shook his head with a smile again, and then said, "If it were you, you wouldn't be so self-deceptive, if you had someone you liked who always stayed with other men, what would you think?" Are you willing to let the two of them continue to develop what kind of bullshit friendship between men and women you are talking about? Or what would someone who likes you think if she knows you're with another woman. Do you still think that such friendships exist? ”

Make mistakes, make big mistakes. Love is selfish, how can he forget this. There is no doubt that the boy is going to correct his ideas and achieve his own ends. In the boy's opinion, he plays the role of the villain in his life, the cheating lover who abducts everywhere in the name of friendship, and should be banned as soon as possible.

"Okay, I see," Jiang Yang skillfully dodged the question and said, "Since you have said everything to this point, wouldn't it be a sin not to accept the warning, I will pay attention to it in the future, then, is there anything else?" ”

"That's what you said, and you swore not to chase her again."

"Okay, I swear. Anything else? It's okay, I'll go back. ”

He finally returned to his room, feeling groggy in his brain and limp in his limbs. Although I was a little tired, I couldn't sleep when I took off my clothes and lay barefoot in bed. He closed his eyes, and the boy's words echoed in the darkness, and whenever he was about to fall asleep, the boy's carefully counted instructions of serious admonition popped into his mind. Bullshit friendship - it's over, he thought! As the man said, friendship has no value. People have put it far behind their minds, ignored it, and even considered it a burden. The more men and women talk about words like friendship, friendship, friends, etc., the stranger and more annoying the relationship becomes, and in the end, people will look at them with skepticism, and finally they will be detained with a series of news about them. The point of the question is, should the distracting spectators reflect on this? Should people who take advantage of friendship with other intentions reflect on it?
