Chapter 94 Reunion

Around eight o'clock, in a room in the suburbs of Shanghai.

"The painting is finished, and the time is almost up. Today's live broadcast is here. Bye, I have to go to dinner."

Ye Wan sat in front of a huge computer monitor, saved what she had just drawn and turned off the live broadcast.

And at the last second before turning off the live broadcast, what he saw was still full of "Goodbye!"

Ye Wan smiled when she saw it, put her hands on the table, moved a few inches away from the table, then turned around and looked around, and finally decided to go to the convenience store downstairs to make a bowl of instant noodles.Of course, if he is lucky, he can also add an Orleans-style chicken leg rice ball.

——He can't cook, to be precise, he's lazy.So he has been solving the problem of eating at will all these years.Forget it if you can, and go out for food when you are really hungry.

Recalling the taste of Orleans in her mind, Ye Wan took the key, without her mobile phone, opened the door and went out.

When he went downstairs, he pushed the door open and entered the family's house.

This neighborhood is remote and far away, and the greenery is not good, but Ye Wan still chose it for the 24-hour family who can walk downstairs.

Today's luck is not too bad, although there is no Orleans flavor, but he saw the roast chicken flavor.

No difference, it's all meat, and they all taste good.

So Ye Wan took a box of instant noodles and a bag of rice to unite the tent and walked to the self-service area.

The self-service area of ​​this house faced the window, Ye Wan sat down without any psychological burden.

At this point, everyone is either eating at home or just lying down at home watching TV after eating.In addition, this place is very remote and there are not many passers-by, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about.

While waiting for the instant noodles to soak, Ye Wan tore open the package of the rice balls first and prepared to eat them first.

But—when he opened his mouth and was about to stuff the whole rice ball into his mouth, a figure of a man in a suit suddenly passed by the glass window.

With just one glance, Ye Wan's movements stopped abruptly.

Even after another seven years, he would still be able to instantly recognize the figure of this person!
At this time, the people outside the window seemed to have sensed it, and they also stopped and looked at him.

So, when the two looked at each other, they fell silent at the same time.

*
Zuo Tianxiao was the one who moved first. He saw Ye Wan who was about to eat with his mouth wide open, and then turned around and walked into the shop.

After Ye Wan heard the electronic sound of "Welcome" from the door, she finally recovered and put down the things in her hand, then turned her head to look at the door.

Zuo Tianxiao stepped into the store and turned around, walking towards him step by step.

Ye Wan stared blankly at him, thinking in her heart:
It's over, it's over... Why did you come across it so suddenly? !
Is life finally getting its hands on me?
No wonder my eyelids twitched all the time today, it turned out to be warning me not to go out!

Ah - he won't beat me up first, will he?This is in the store, a little embarrassing...

But it turned out that Ye Wan's rich mental activities were just overthinking. After Zuo Tianxiao walked up to him, he just glanced at him, and then sat down on the seat next to him.

Seeing that he didn't move, Ye Wan breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled awkwardly: "Hello."

Hearing this, Zuo Tianxiao glanced at him, silently gritted his teeth without speaking.

They haven't seen each other for seven years, and the first thing this person said when he saw him was "Hello"? !

Who the hell wants to say hello to you? !
Ye Wan didn't even know what she said because she was too embarrassed, and then said: "What a coincidence".

"..." Zuo Tianxiao silently turned his head to look at him, but still did not respond.

Ye Wan was even more embarrassed by him, she turned to focus on her instant noodles, and looked at her own reflection on the glass window from time to time.

But he didn't expect Zuo Tianxiao to actually do it, so he just looked at himself without saying anything, so he lifted the paper on the instant noodle box to check whether the instant noodles were soaked, and then said: "Are you here?" ... just finished work?"

He didn't know when he was between the two of them, and he turned into the one who was looking for words, obviously Zuo Tianxiao used to talk so much that he disliked him.

But it's normal, it's been so many years.

"The Russian headquarters sent people over to see the location of the research site. It's near here. It's just finished."

"Oh." Ye Wan nodded.

Sure enough, looking at this dress, you can tell that the two of them are not the same kind of people.He just finished communicating with international friends just now, and he just finished communicating with netizens because he was so hungry that he came down to eat instant noodles.

"Then you're here...to buy something?"

Zuo Tianxiao sat next to him as soon as he came in, and he didn't feel like buying anything, but if he didn't buy anything, why would he turn into the door and enter this store?

Hearing this, Zuo Tianxiao glanced at the instant noodles and rice balls in front of Ye Wan, and nodded, "I'm a little hungry, come in and buy some snacks."

"Is that so..."

"What's delicious?" Zuo Tianxiao looked at the dazzling array of food behind his eyes, expressing that he was not familiar with them.

"Uh... rice balls." Ye Wan thought for a while, "but the ones don't taste like Orleans, the ones with roast chicken are gone, and the others are not tasty...how about this for you?" He said, holding the rice balls in his hand Handed it out.

Zuo Tianxiao: "..."

After Ye Wan saw his eyes, she realized that her attitude was a bit too intimate, and she quickly withdrew her hand, "Uh, why don't you forget it, there are many others there, go and have a look."

But Zuo Tianxiao reached out and took the rice ball in his hand, "It's okay, I'll eat this."

"...Okay." Ye Wan was sad for a few seconds because she couldn't eat rice balls tonight, and then she focused on her instant noodles.

He lifted the lid of the instant noodles, stirred the noodles a few times with a fork, then lowered his head and began to concentrate on eating.

Of course, if Zuo Tianxiao hadn't been sitting next to him, he would have been more attentive.

Zuo Tianxiao was wearing a pure black suit, and his thin thighs were outlined longer. Ye Wan could see...

*
After finishing the small rice ball in his hand, Zuo Tianxiao asked Ye Wan, "Is this your dinner?"

Ye Wan raised her face buried in the bowl, "Yes."

"..." Zuo Tianxiao didn't speak.

Ye Wan in front of her was wearing a loose white T-shirt and wide pants, with flip flops on her feet, revealing her slender arms and calves, the exposed parts were very white.The hair on the head is a little messy, and the dull hairs that were there before are still standing up.

Is this straight from home?Just bring your phone and keys.

So what is this person doing at home that he doesn't eat dinner until after eight o'clock?
"you……"

"Ok?"

Looking at Ye Wan's big eyes looking at him, Zuo Tianxiao asked: "You...how did you make money after you dropped out of school?"

"..."

After hearing Zuo Tianxiao's question, Ye Wan paused.

That's right, how does he live without even studying in the third year of high school?
Now, recalling the scene when he first came to Shanghai, he still couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

He used the spoon in his hand to stir the instant noodle soup base with only a little broken noodles left, and said, "I just draw novel covers on the Internet or something."

*
When she first arrived here, Ye Wan really didn't know what to do.Fortunately, his mother sent him money every month, so he found a cheap rental house to settle down.At that time, he painted the covers of online novels on the Internet. The technical content was not high, and he couldn't make much money for a picture of thirty or forty, all relying on drawing a lot.

Later, when I gradually became famous, I got a little better. I took orders on Weibo to paint watercolors for others, and the price was not low.Occasionally, I open a live broadcast to draw the paintings required by the job or draw something I want to draw, and I can also receive some rewards.

His consumption level is not very high, so he has gradually accumulated savings, and he has just moved to his current place of residence in the last year.

So far, he is doing well, and he still has spare money to send to his parents every month.

*
Hearing this, Zuo Tianxiao nodded, and then asked: "Have you finished eating?"

"Ah? Hmm." Ye Wan glanced at the plastic box with only soup left, raised her head and drank all the soup, then threw it into the trash can.

After watching his series of actions, Zuo Tianxiao saw that he was about to leave with his mobile phone and keys, so he raised his lips and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, aren't you going to talk to me? ... Boyfriend."

Boy friend? ...Didn't they break up?he thought...

Ye Wan was shocked.

Well, it seems that I didn't break up with him clearly.

But isn't this situation the same as breaking up?Could it be that Zuo Tianxiao has always regarded him as a boyfriend?
He frowned, "You...we...uh, where are we going to talk?"

Ye Wan felt that it was better for him to speak clearly. In this situation, conversations were inevitable, and he also had to explain the relationship between the two of them clearly.

No matter what Zuo Tianxiao was thinking, it was impossible for him to be with him anymore.

Zuo Tianxiao replied: "Isn't your house right next to this? Let's go to your house."

"...Go to my house?"

Hearing this, Zuo Tianxiao raised his eyebrows and said, "What? Is it inconvenient for others?"

"No... that's fine."

His home is his home, it's still close, and he doesn't have to walk so much.

So Ye Wan sighed and stood up, leading Zuo Tianxiao upstairs.

*
At the door of the house, Ye Wan opened the door and walked in, and then said: "You don't need slippers, just go in directly."

"Oh," Zuo Tianxiao walked in with his shoes on.

As soon as he walked in, he was startled by Ye Wan's room.

It's not because there are any scary things inside, but because Ye Wan's house seems to have no other rooms except the toilet.

On the far left is a small balcony. In the corner is a huge workbench with computers, some equipment and drawing tools on it. On the other side is a big bed directly, and the kitchen is on the right.The whole room can be said to be unobstructed.

Ye Wan turned her head and saw Zuo Tianxiao fixed in place, she couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

His room is not messy, he didn't even have time to go to bed just now, the bed was made neatly in the morning.

"No. The structure of your house is a bit strange."

"Oh, the house type of this community is a bit special."

Ye Wan said, walked to the desk and sat down, and then saw Zuo Tianxiao still standing upright, and felt a little embarrassed.

So why did he look for a house without a living room? !
What should we do now?Only the bed is left to sit on!
Ye Wan thought for a while, then immediately stood up from the chair and gave it to Zuo Tianxiao, "You sit here, I'll just sit on the bed." Said, she sat on the bed and crossed her legs.

"..." Zuo Tianxiao was forced to sit on the chair.

After sitting down, he realized that the live broadcast device was fixed on the table, and there was an unfinished piece of paper on it, which should have been drawn by Ye Wan before going out.

Ye Wan looked at Zuo Tianxiao who was sitting upright on the chair, thought for a while and asked, "What do you want to drink?"

When Zuo Tianxiao heard the words, he couldn't help but find it interesting, but also a little bit bitter.

This man really treated him like a guest.

"No need, and..." He glanced at the fairly clean kitchen, "You don't have anything to drink, do you?"

"Uh...there is still hot water, if you want to drink, I'll boil some now." Ye Wan said as she put down her crossed legs.

Zuo Tianxiao hurriedly stopped him, "No need, just sit down."

"Oh." Ye Wan replied, she didn't stand up, but she didn't turn her legs back.Because Zuo Tianxiao sat quite upright in front of him, he was a little embarrassed to be too lazy.

*
After the formalities were over, the two looked at each other speechlessly.

The scene was awkward for a while.

Zuo Tianxiao stared at Ye Wan, who had always been erratic and refused to look at him no matter what, and sighed, and pressed his finger on his forehead, "Aren't you going to tell me what happened before the summer vacation in the second year of high school?"

Ye Wan looked at him, lowered her head and said, "...I'm sorry, I disappeared suddenly at that time, and I didn't tell you in advance."

"...That's it?" Zuo Tianxiao didn't expect that Ye Wan didn't have any desire to explain. He just apologized when he came up, and then he was gone after the apology?

Ye Wan glanced at him, then looked away again.

Zuo Tianxiao gritted his teeth, got up from the chair, and stood in front of Ye Wan.

Ye Wan was frightened by his actions and backed away a little.

"Not only did you drop out of school without telling me, you also deleted my WeChat and changed my number, so I couldn't find you."

"Even... until now, don't even give me an explanation?!"

Zuo Tianxiao felt very angry, and tried his best to endure his emotions, he was afraid that he would not hold back his own hands.

He thought, if he didn't know that Ye Wan had a hard time back then, seeing Ye Wan's attitude now, he would definitely leave in anger, right?
So, this is Ye Wan's purpose?
——Silently took on everything for him back then, and now you still want to be noble and drive him away without saying anything?

If there was a reason why the original him left him, then he accepted it.He has not contacted himself these years, and he will not pursue it for the time being.But what he didn't understand was, why did Ye Wan choose to push him away again after the two finally met?

He thought Ye Wan would be very happy, and the two of them would be together again without much effort.

Facing Zuo Tianxiao's emotions, Ye Wan calmed down for a while, and then said lightly, "There's nothing to say, it's been so many years."

……

Zuo Tianxiao took a deep breath, and it took a long time before he let go of his clenched hands.

Forget it...

*
He slowly sat down beside Ye Wan, then looked at Ye Wan beside him, and said, "I don't care why you don't want to be with me again, but I do."

Ye Wan glanced at him, then silently moved a little to the side, creating a distance between the two of them.

"I remember you said that it's not a real breakup if you don't tell me the word 'breakup', so we are still in a boyfriend relationship. Of course, I think you are a bit unilaterally refusing to admit this relationship now, but it's okay, I don't mind."

"You..." Ye Wan looked at Zuo Tianxiao, who was sitting beside Erlang's bed in a well-groomed manner with his legs crossed, looking serious, and paused, "No, we haven't seen each other for seven years, how can you be sure that we are still suitable?" ?”

"Then try it." Zuo Tianxiao said with a smile.

Apparently, he's still in some ways the same... thick-skinned.

Ye Wan felt a little annoyed when faced with the tough Zuo Tianxiao who wanted to go back to the previous relationship: "You have a successful career now, and you are not too young. In a few years, the family will ask you to get married and have children. Between us There is no future at all. Do you want me to be your underground lover?"

Ye Wan originally thought that even if Zuo Tianxiao didn't give up, he should struggle for a while, but he didn't expect that Zuo Tianxiao just smiled calmly: "First of all, I have a successful career, and it's completely impossible for you to support another one." No problem; secondly, I had a showdown with my family when I graduated from high school, and there was no task of getting married and having children; finally, I don’t need to hide like I did in high school, and you don’t need to be my secret lover, we can be aboveboard .”

"..." Ye Wan looked at him for a while, trying to make sure if the man was drunk, "I don't need you to raise him."

Zuo Tianxiao smiled, "It's up to you."

"..." No, why their conversation suddenly turned sour.

It was as if we were discussing whether we should be together or not, but now it has become a question of how long we will be together...

*
"I don't know what you are thinking, but my attitude is very clear, you should think about it carefully." Zuo Tianxiao reached out and touched Ye Wan's head, Ye Wan paused and then quickly avoided.

Zuo Tianxiao withdrew his hand without hesitation: "You should still draw later, right? Be careful not to get too tired."

After speaking, he stood up, "I'm leaving first today, give me the phone."

"What... what?" Even though she asked, Ye Wan had already handed over the phone.

Zuo Tianxiao took it with a smile on his lips, and after seeing Ye Wan's simple wallpaper, he silently made a decision "I have to ask this person to change the wallpaper back in a few days", and then saved his number in it.

"It has my number on it, you can contact me if you have anything to do." Zuo Tianxiao returned the phone and walked towards the door.

Ye Wan hurriedly got up to see him off.

Zuo Tianxiao walked out the door, said "see you tomorrow" and went downstairs.

Ye Wan standing by the door: "..."

See you tomorrow?See you tomorrow?Who will see you tomorrow!
nerve!

*
Returning to the room, Ye Wan looked at the drawing paper that hadn't been filled in yet, and fell onto the bed with a bang.

What to draw?Stop drawing!It's annoying! !
Is Zuo Tianxiao sick?

Why is he so indifferent when he is so indifferent? !
Isn't it good to be his business matchmaker?

Why do you have to find him, a little painter who can only paint?
He just wants to live alone in peace, okay?
……

Ye Wan got angry and turned off the light, then lifted the quilt and got in, deciding that she didn't want to sleep before talking about anything.
