Deluge - Chapter 44

[Chapter 44]

Xu Juan was so sleepy last night that he didn’t notice Pei Yu’s mood changes. The next morning, he found out that Pei Yu didn’t seem very happy.

He has been so busy lately that they can only be alone for a while at breakfast time, but this morning, Pei Yu got up early and didn’t wait for him to eat together. When he was brushing his teeth, Pei Yu had already changed his clothes and was ready to go out. .

“Have you left so early?” Xu Juan asked while leaning on the door frame of the bathroom, biting his toothbrush.

Pei Yu stood in front of the shoe cabinet, didn’t look up at him when changing shoes, and responded coldly.

“…”

Xu Juan was a little flustered in his heart.

Pei Yu doesn’t like to communicate with him anymore. In the past, he adhered to the principle of opening up all issues and tried to communicate with him. Now, on the contrary, Pei Yu closed himself up and refused to reveal any excess emotions, for fear As if he saw through, he protected himself to the point of almost autistic, especially when he was in a bad mood.

Occasionally, when he is in a good mood, he will have a “hot war” with him. In fact, that is more comfortable than silence.

Xu Juan thought about the details of last night, why did he make Pei Yu unhappy?

It’s a pity that his mind was a mess, and he didn’t think of anything. He only remembered a few words between him and Pei Yu. There shouldn’t be anything else, right?

Xu Juan quickly finished brushing his teeth, wiped his mouth, and went to the door to hold Pei Yu: “Mr. Pei, you are going on a business trip to Japan, did you say that last night?

” Glancing at him, his expression seemed to have some vague expectation and restraint, but Xu Juan understood.

He immediately hugged Pei Yu and kissed him: “Come back early, I will miss you.”

“I see.” Pei Yu was still not enthusiastic.

Xu Juan wanted to hear him say “I’ll miss you too”, but he didn’t say anything until they parted.

This made Xu Juan a little disappointed. The breakfast was not good enough, and when he arrived at the company, he didn’t feel refreshed.

What year is this year?

Xu Juan flipped through the calendar in the office. His career was not going well, his love was not going well, and there was nothing to be happy about in life.

But now is not the time to be discouraged. He has to tighten his nerves, finish things in one breath, and treat himself as an emotionless work machine. Don’t be idle and think wildly, otherwise you will never think of good things.

So, during the few days that Pei Yu was on a business trip, Xu Juan spent almost all his meals and lodging in the company. As long as he could do it, he tried his best to do his best, just waiting for the results of the public test.

The public beta is scheduled for October 5th. When the whole country is on vacation, Xu Juan is working overtime.

When he gets busy, he often doesn’t even bother to reply to WeChat. Fortunately, it doesn’t matter. Except for Pei Yu, he doesn’t bother to pay attention to others.

However, Pei Yu didn’t send him WeChat very often. Naturally, he didn’t have time to take the initiative to chat, so since Pei Yu went to Japan, they seemed to have suddenly cut off their relationship, except that Pei Yu reported peace after arriving on the first day. , the second day, the third day, did not talk a word.

This is not unusual. Since the conflict started last month, they have rarely spoken on WeChat – the meeting is a cold war, what can be said on the Internet?

Moreover, there were not many common topics between them, so every time Xu Juan had to rack his brains to start, only then could Pei Yu have a few words in cooperation.

When Xu Juan was busy, he didn’t have much energy to chat, so Pei Yu naturally had nothing to say.

But it’s nothing if I don’t talk at ordinary times. At least I can see people every day. Now that I don’t contact people, I can’t see people. Xu Juan will inevitably feel a little bit in his heart. It’s normal, don’t overthink it.

On October 4th, during his lunch break, Xu Juan took the time to call Pei Yu.

Pei Yu didn’t answer, maybe he was busy.

Xu Juan did not know the scale of the academic seminar he attended and what was the process? How many days will it take in total? Who did Pei Yu go with? Shouldn’t he be alone?

“…” Thinking of this, Xu Juan realized later that he cared too little about Pei Yu, and didn’t know what Pei Yu was busy with every day.

They live together and have the most intimate communication, but the worlds they live in seem to be parallel, and neither of them can participate in each other’s lives, no wonder the relationship is difficult to progress.

Xu Juan sighed, put down the phone, and sat on the desk for a while.

He suddenly felt very tired, tired in every way.

Maybe it’s the same with Pei Yu. In fact, falling in love is a pastime for idlers. No matter whether it is a man or a woman, those who are serious about their career don’t pay much attention to love. Once there is a conflict between career and love, there is a high probability that they will be abandoned. is the latter.

However, he and Pei Yu are not in conflict now, just a little conflict. When Pei Yu returns from Japan this time, he will have time to have a good chat with Pei Yu.

Xu Juan tried his best to think of the best, but when the call failed, he sent WeChat instead.

He left a message to Pei Yu and asked him when he would return to China, saying that he missed him.

Pei Yu’s reply was several hours late, saying that it was inconvenient to answer the phone in a public place just now, and he didn’t have time to read WeChat.

Xu Juan said: “It doesn’t matter, when will you come back?”

“The day after tomorrow.” Pei Yu sent a voice, the background sound was noisy, there seemed to be many people around him, some speaking Japanese, some speaking Chinese, “I haven’t booked a flight yet, maybe the day after tomorrow. , it happens that you are busy these days, when I get home, you can just finish it.”

Pei Yu’s voice could not tell the emotion, but the voice is more vivid than the words, Xu Juan really misses him, can’t wait to immediately As soon as I saw him, I couldn’t help saying: “I miss you very much, do you miss me, Pei Yu?”

Pei Yu didn’t answer directly, and sent another voice saying that he was going back to the hotel from the venue now.

Xu Juan was unhappy and continued to ask: “Do you miss me?”

Pei Yu didn’t answer, he kept asking: “Do you really miss me?

” It was like being tortured, and the tone was accusatory: “How did you miss me? Why didn’t I see it? Even if you didn’t contact me for a few days, you missed me? Did you finally think of me?”

Xu Juan: “…”

It started to get mad again.

Xu Juan smiled softly, as if the dark clouds were dispelled, and the whole sky became clear.

He opened the chat box and poured all the troubles he had encountered at work in the past few days to Pei Yu, and regardless of whether Pei Yu could understand those professional terms, he sent five or six sixty-second long voices to himself. , made Pei Yu collapse, and ordered Xu Juan to shut up, otherwise he would have “voice phobia”.

Xu Juan was quite stinky, and deliberately said, “I thought you were enjoying hearing my voice, but it wasn’t.”

Pei Yu sent him an emoji.

In the picture is a kitten, the cat raised his paws and covered his face as if he was vomiting.

Xu Juan was shocked: “You can actually post an emoji, Mr. Pei, it’s still such a cute puppet cat, where did you get that emoji?”

“Received it from someone else.”

“Who? A woman?” Xu Juan was vigilant Said, “Female colleague? Female student?”

“No, why is your imagination so rich? I received it in the group, someone posted it, and I clicked it and saved it.”

“It’s easy.”

“Otherwise? ?” Pei Yu may be a little speechless to him, but they haven’t talked so much for a long time, although through the Internet, Pei Yu is obviously in a good mood, and candidly said, “As soon as I saw this picture, I felt very much like you. , I will accept it.”

“Huh?” Xu Juan was puzzled.

Pei Yu said: “Don’t you think its expression of covering its face and vomiting is very similar to your pretentious look? I didn’t find it before, but now when I recall when you were chasing me, I suddenly feel that this is what you are doing, hypocritical and phony. Liars.”

Xu Juan: “…”

Sure enough, the weather is sunny and the atmosphere is good, it is an illusion, Pei Yu can never have a good chat with him.
