An Inconspicuous Shooting Star

Chapter 36 Relationship Boundaries

"I'm unwilling to be far away, and I'm afraid when I'm close. I'm unwilling to stop here, and I'm afraid that you know the thoughts in my heart, and then leave."

Cheng Yan only glanced at it, and immediately looked back like a lazy student meeting the teacher.

But the densely packed computers in front of him, accompanied by the agitation in his chest, made him feel a little confused for a while.

There is still a while away from get off work, and Huo Sheng came back early, don't he need to pick up Xiaoman by himself?It shouldn't be necessary, he couldn't stop thinking.But I really don't need to ask any more, there is a sense of loss in my heart, like a rush, quietly hitting every nerve in his body that will make him impulsive.

However, it is also true that there are so many things on hand, not to mention that the other party has already returned, and if you say to pick it up together, you will somewhat cross the line.He put his palm on his chest, calmed down for a moment, and thought to himself, is this really something a friend can do at will?This... he is a little uncertain.

Thinking about this, the energy in Cheng Yan's body gradually eased, and finally turned into a stone thrown into a lake, submerged by'those negations', and there was no movement.

"It's better to keep a good distance and be friends." Cheng Yan whispered, then got up and went to the tea room.

When leaving his seat, Huo Sheng, who was standing there and talking to Liang Chen, was no longer there.

The machine in the tea room buzzed for a while, and he leaned on the cupboard beside him, waiting for coffee while thinking about the situation just now, the more he thought about it, the more he felt a little stupid.

The other party clearly saw him and smiled at himself, so he looked away directly, but it felt like he had done something wrong.

Cheng Yan couldn't help biting his lower lip, and then sighed again. Only then, holding the mug full of coffee, he walked back slowly.

Absent-minded, he walked all the way thinking about how to explain if he met him.

But I didn't want to just turn around and go out, just like this and hit someone head on.

The coffee was spilled a lot, half on Cheng Yan's cuff and half on the other's clothes.

When Cheng Yan saw it, he immediately panicked, and hurriedly turned around and wiped someone with a tissue, then apologized one after another.

It is strange that the person in front of him did not move for a while, neither raised his hand to wipe the stains on his body, nor did he say anything to blame him.

This made Cheng Yan raise his head strangely, and he saw that Huo Sheng was standing in front of him.

Huo Sheng saw that he was finally looking up at the people, and he smiled and said, "It's okay, just go back and wash it later." After speaking, he took the kitchen paper in his hand and helped wipe his cuffs.

Cheng Yan shook his ears, his ears became red, and the silly anger just showed up on his face.

"By the way, I just wanted to find you." Huo Sheng said in a gentle voice.

"Huh?" Cheng Yan was still somewhat unresponsive, and asked after two seconds: "Is there something wrong?"

Huo Sheng smiled and said: "It was really a bit, now it's gone."

"Huh?" Cheng Yan didn't understand and didn't dare to ask.

It was Huo Sheng who took the initiative to explain: "I just came back and I still needed to meet someone. I want to ask you to pick up Xiaoman today."

"Now..." Huo Sheng asked him, "I may need to go back and change my clothes. Do you want to go with me?"

"Ah? No..." Cheng Yan took two steps quickly, "No, no need."

"No, I mean to pick up Xiaoman." The person on the other side knew he had misunderstood when he heard it, and chuckled.

Now Cheng Yan's face flushed even more completely, and he simply gave up and said, "No, I...I won't go, I really won't go, you can help me tell Xiaoman."

"Huh?" Huo Sheng reacted, "Is something wrong?"

Cheng Yan nodded slightly, "Yes."

After hearing these words, Huo Sheng didn't ask any more, but smiled and responded: "Well then, I'll talk to her."

"That," Cheng Yan was uneasy, and quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to go with you, it's just that there is something at work... So... I won't pick her up, I just finished my work."

"It's okay," Huo Sheng looked at the person in front of him, knowing that the other person must have been thinking too much, and replied: "I understand, I have been working hard for you these few days. I will invite you to dinner another day."

"No, no hard work." Cheng Yan raised his eyes a little, "Then I'll go first."

After speaking, the two passed by, but Cheng Yan didn't expect that, just as he walked around, he saw Liang Chen standing in the corridor with a stack of documents, as if to come to Huo Sheng.

He didn't know how much Liang Chen heard, and he slipped away without even saying hello.

Leaving Liang Chen smiled meaningfully in the direction he was walking, and then left.

Zuo Cheng Yan returned to the office, sighed with a bitter expression, and scolded himself stupidly.

Huo Sheng left as soon as he got off work, and when he left, he threw a small box to Cheng Yan.

Cheng Yan opened it to see that it was a packet of small candies made in Jiangcheng, and the corners of his mouth rose immediately.

At about the same time, the fat man stepped on a point and crossed into the office with Huo Sheng.

Miao Yu, who has been working overtime for the past two days, saw it and asked curiously: "Brother Wang, why are you back at this point?"

When Cheng Yan heard the sound, he immediately put the small box into his bag.

Although there was noisy surroundings during off-get off work hours, they couldn’t hide the tiredness in the voices of the people who came. The fat man wiped his sweat and replied after a while, “Hey, I’m exhausted these days. It seems that I can't finish it. You have to be free to help share some."

If it were placed a few months ago, Cheng Yan would have heard the fat man say this, he would have been kind to help share some of it, but first of all the things before the interim report, and now he can’t take care of it anymore, just listen. There was no answer.

Although Miao Yu didn't want to make everyone unhappy because of a project, she was also a master with more than heart but not enough support. She looked at Fatty and whispered, "I can't finish it... I guess Cheng Yan can almost not do it. It's over."

When these words fell, the fat man didn't say anything, just glanced around, and then sat down.

The people in the entire office dispersed in twos and threes, and slowly, only a few people at the desk here were left with their computer screens still on.

The percussive sound of the keyboard alternated with the sound of the data flipping for a while, and then other sounds appeared again in the entire space.

The colleague at the next table greeted everyone before leaving.

Here Miao Yu, Fatty, and Cheng Yan looked up, smiled and waved their hands to say goodbye.

After a while, Miao Yu couldn't sit still anymore, and hurriedly said to leave.

After saying goodbye, the fat man waited for a long time after the person left, and asked without giving up, "Cheng Yan, are you free?"

"No." Cheng Yan said affirmatively, there is no other way.

After listening, the fat man sighed roughly, packed up a lot of materials, put them in his briefcase, and left together.

After all had gone, Cheng Yan calmed down again, quietly dealing with the matter at hand.

One by one, Cheng Yan repeatedly confirmed each data, and then pressed save.

With a sigh of relief, he leaned back on the backrest, and when his eyes closed, he saw a teacup appear in front of his eyes.

The teacup dropped off the table with a sound.

Cheng Yan looked sideways and saw Liang Chen sitting curiously in the place of the person next to him, and he felt a little uneasy.

At this moment, everyone else in the office was gone, and only this area was still warm in the huge space.

Cheng Yan thought for a while, and felt that the one who should come would always come, so he took a sip from the cup without saying anything, and asked, "What's the matter? Why didn't you leave?"

"What else can I have at this night? Isn't it just that the work is not finished? It's normal to be busy for so long in the morning, right?" Liang Chen said, but in the next sentence, she immediately changed the subject. With interest, he asked: "Frankly explain, when you asked me where to take my niece that day, did you bring the children to Mr. Huo?"

"..." Cheng Yan listened to this question and didn't answer well, just biting his cup a little while thinking.

But I didn’t want Liang Chen to be too familiar with him. Seeing his reaction, he immediately determined that his answer was yes, and said with admiration, "Ayan, you can do it. Last time I asked you, you thought you just You are just ordinary friends with him, and I am worried about you. As a result, your relationship has become so good?"

"No," Cheng Yan said helplessly, "It's just a friend, just a small favor."

After that, Liang Chen wanted to say something, when he heard the phone on the table vibrate suddenly.

Both of them were attracted by the movement and looked over at the same time.

I saw that the WeChat prompt name displayed on the phone screen was Huo Sheng.

Liang Chen squinted his eyes in an instant, and smiled happily with an'I said so'.

Cheng Yan was like a little kid who was caught, blushing and repeating, "Really not, don't ask anymore."

The author has something to say:

It's not good to change, I always feel something is wrong, is it too slow, pull down the timeline in the next chapter.
