The place where Xing Lan and Tian Ya worked was an hour's journey away from the company headquarters. In a short while, the car drove into the company's compound. It was noon, and there was no one in the compound. At this time, they should be taking an afternoon nap. Xing Lan and Tian Ya got out of the car and scanned the empty compound before walking towards Li Ming's office.
"Creak."
Li Ming's door was opened. Xing Lan and the other man, who were walking side by side, instinctively stopped in their tracks. Li Ming, who was wearing a white t-shirt, looked at them from the door.
"Hehe, old class monitor."
Tian Ya reacted and called out with a smile.
Xing Lan and the others stood in front of Li Ming. Li Ming still maintained his posture of opening the door and looked at them. Xing Lan rubbed his nose awkwardly.
"Come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Lee retreated back into the room. Seeing Ming Lee turn around, Xing Lan and Ming Lee exchanged a glance. From Ming Lee's tone and expression, Xing Lan knew that Uncle Ho must have called Ming Lee.
"Let's go in."
Tian Ya reminded him and walked into the room first. Xing Lan shook his head and followed.
Inside the room, Li Ming was holding a cup of water as he sat at the table and looked at Xing Lan and Tian Ya. Li Ming liked Tie Guanyin, but Xing Lan and Tian Ya did not like it because that kind of tea was too bitter. Li Ming just looked at the two of them without saying a word. Xing Lan and Tian Ya did not dare to look him in the eye. There was a pack of cigarettes on the table called Hulun Buir. It was considered a high-end cigarette in the local area. Xing Lan lit one. Tian Ya usually did not smoke, so he also lit one. Because he could not get used to the taste of cigarettes, Tian Ya could not help but cough.
"Old monitor, I'm sure you already know that this is what we think. Now that the company has stabilized, we can be considered dispensable here, so we want to leave. But don't worry, if you need us one day, Tian Ya and I will support your work at the first moment.”
After a moment of silence, Xing Lan spoke up. To be honest, he was also afraid that Li Ming would not let them go. After all, it was not easy to slap the mouth of someone who smiled at him.
"What if I don't let you go? What will you do?”
After a moment of silence, Ming Li looked at Xing Lan and asked.
"Old monitor, you took care of us a lot when we came here. We have long treated you like an older brother. If you are determined not to let us go, we can't do anything about it. But then again, you have been here when you were young. If you can't compromise on one thing, we won't feel too good.”
Tian Ya put away his usual mischievousness and said seriously.
Hearing Tian Ya's tone, Xing Lan looked at him in shock. They had been together for so long, but he had never seen Tian Ya show any genuine feelings. However, Xing Lan did not deny that Li Ming was indeed very good to them.
"Xinglan, after such a long time, I can tell that you're the boss. What's your attitude?”
Li Ming threw the question at Xing Lan. Li Ming was a businessman. In the field of businessmen, he knew how to observe people's expressions. There was a saying that went well. In a place with a lot of people, the one who did not speak would always be the strongest. After interacting with Xing Lan for so long, he could always maintain his silence when there was a lot of talk. However, Li Ming firmly believed that Xing Lan, who gave off a very real and honest feeling, had his own set of rules in his heart. It was not that Xing Lan did not understand, but he could control his mouth.
Tian Ya did not feel unhappy when he heard this. Xing Lan was his good friend. Moreover, he knew Xing Lan very well. Tian Ya knew that there was no need for him to be jealous of his friend because of someone else's words, let alone Xing Lan, who gave people a feeling of kindness.
Xing Lan smiled bitterly." Old class monitor, I'm not a boss. In fact, Tian Ya has always been the most opinionated when I'm with him. Although I don't know why you said that, I hope you don't treat me as someone who likes to play tricks.”
Ming Li didn't say anything else, and the room returned to silence.
"Let's go. I'm hungry. Let's go out and eat.”
The three of them were silent for a while. Li Ming stood up and went to get his clothes. When he heard this, Xing Lan and Li Ming looked at each other again.
"Old class monitor, we won't eat. After all, even if we separate, we will still visit you in the future.”
Tian Ya knew where he was now. The matter had not been resolved yet, so he could not let anything happen.
"Yes, old class monitor. If it's possible, we want to leave today.”
Xing Lan also spoke.
"Did I tell you to leave?"
After saying this, Ming Li put on his clothes and walked out.
Li Mingxing and Lan Minglan looked at each other again and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
"Let's go. It seems that we have to eat this meal.”
Xing Lan reminded him and went out first. Tian Ya sighed and followed.
At the restaurant that the three of them often went to, Li Ming ordered a lot of dishes and also a lot of wine. Xing Lan and Tian Ya kept mentioning leaving, while Li Ming kept silent. Helpless, Xing Lan and Tian Ya could only accompany Li Ming to drink.
After everyone drank two bottles of beer, Xing Lan suggested not drinking anymore. Xing Lan's alcohol tolerance was not good to begin with. Of course, compared to Li Ming and Tian Ya, Li Ming did not dissuade him because Tian Ya could drink very well.
Xing Lan quietly listened to the conversation between the two. The table was already filled with wine bottles. Xing Lan, who did not drink, could see that Tian Ya and Li Ming were both slightly drunk. Fortunately, Tian Ya did not give up on the principle of leaving. Unfortunately, Li Ming still insisted on not leaving.
The meal lasted for a full four hours. Xing Lan was very surprised because Tian Ya and Li Ming had drunk 13 beers each from the start until now. Although both of them were drunk, Xing Lan was still very impressed. Another thing that was worth being happy about was that Li Ming had finally relented after the meal ended. However, he would have to wait until tomorrow before leaving. Xing Lan did not say anything about this. Tian Ya had already become like this. It would be a problem even if he wanted to leave.
At the hotel, Xing Lan hailed a taxi. Because Li Ming wanted to return to the company headquarters, Li Ming refused to pay Xing Lan. This was also why Xing Lan had a good impression of Li Ming. Although Xing Lan did not care about money, he was still very interested in a businessman who did not care about money.
"By the way, Uncle Ho had already called before you came. I let them go. That bastard knew the situation he was facing and asked me to resign. Alright, I'm leaving.”
Even though Ming Li was a little tongue-tied, Xing Lan still understood the meaning behind his words. He wanted to ask Ming Li, but Ming Li had already left. Not only did Xing Lan mutter to himself, once Old He left, it meant that he and Tian Ya had no way out. He didn't have any proof in his hands. When he faced Ming Li directly, what should he do if Ming Li didn't admit it? After thinking about it, Xing Lan began to suspect Ming Li for the first time.
Tian Ya's body was almost lying on the ground. Xing Lan held onto his arm tightly. If he let go now, Xing Lan did not doubt that Tian Ya would shoot out like an arrow. Tian Ya did not cooperate with Xing Lan and continued to speak. From time to time, he would even give Xing Lan an intoxicated smile. Right now, Xing Lan really had the urge to beat him up.
"It's almost five o'clock."
Xing Lan looked at his watch and felt a little anxious. After thinking for a while, he placed Tian Ya's hands on his shoulders. Xing Lan wanted to carry him back.
The Hulunbuir League in the summer evening was hot and stuffy, and it was annoying. In addition, there were large mosquitoes and small bites that could almost eat people, which made people go crazy. Although Xing Lan, who had a strong physique, could carry Tian Ya without much difficulty, the marks left by the mosquitoes on his body from time to time still made him almost collapse.
"Wow."
Xing Lan overlooked a problem. The occasional jolt on his back made Tian Ya vomit uncontrollably. It was neither right nor wrong, and it just happened to vomit Xing Lan's brain.
"F * ck."
Xing Lan cursed in his heart and threw Tian Ya onto the ground. He was afraid that he would hurt him, so Xing Lan specially found a place with a lot of grass.
Putting down Tianya Xinglan, he immediately grabbed a handful of grass and wiped his head. Although his hair was not too long, there was still a lot of hair left in his hair. After throwing up, the stench of alcohol and gastric juice made Xing Lan, who liked cleanliness, almost fly into a rage.
"Hehe…"
Tian Ya, who was sitting on the ground, looked at the furious Xing Lan with a red face.
"Hehe my ass."
Xing Lan said angrily.
"Wow."
Tian Ya, who was about to speak, couldn't help but curse again.
Seeing that Tian Ya Xing Lan could not care less about himself and quickly ran towards him, afraid that Tian Ya would vomit on his body, Xing Lan supported him and patted his back.
"Aiyo, damn it, it's so uncomfortable.”
Perhaps he felt a lot better, Tian Ya got up and took a deep breath as he spoke incoherently, but his body was still a little floating.
"You're alive?"
Looking at Tian Ya's current situation, Xing Lan rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Hehe."
Tian Ya looked at it for a while and laughed again. The sudden voice made Xing Lan shudder involuntarily. However, after thinking about it, Xing Lan felt relieved. After drinking so much wine, he would not wake up just because he said so.
"Let's go, open the way."
Xing Lan pulled Tian Ya up from the ground and carried him towards the dormitory.
When they finally returned to the dormitory, Xing Lan's entire body was drenched in sweat. He was not bothered by the fact that he was stunned. There was no one in the room, and there was a pile of luggage on the bed. Xing Lan recognized them. They belonged to Old He and his men.
"Clang!"
While Xing Lan was in a daze, the door was opened. Uncle Ho was the first to enter the room. There were a few people behind him. Xing Lan recognized them because they were all introduced by Uncle Ho.
Uncle Ho and the others were also stunned when they saw Xing Lan. They obviously did not expect Xing Lan to appear at this time.
"You saw it too. It's not that I don't care about you guys, it's Ming Li who wants to keep you guys.”
Uncle Ho walked towards his luggage as he spoke. When he saw Tian Ya hanging on Xing Lan like a dead pig, he asked, but his voice was a little gentler.
"I'm fine. I just drank too much."
Xing Lan replied.
"The two of you are just a child. You can't be bothered by heaven after drinking some bewitching powder. Take it easy. Don't let Ming Li play with you.”
Uncle Ho looked as if he was disappointed.
"Xinglan, is Tian Ya alright?"
"Yeah, is Tian Ya okay? Why did he drink so much?”
The six people beside Uncle Ho asked one after another.
Xing Lan could see the sincerity in their eyes. Xing Lan had a very close relationship with them. Because of Tian Ya's diligence and personality, his colleagues liked them very much.
"It's okay. I just need to rest for a while.”
Looking at the colleagues surrounding her, Xing Lan smiled and responded to them one by one.
"Xinglan, you're drenched all over. We're here to settle Tian Ya down.”
One of them pointed at Xing Lan and said.
"What are you washing? Is there still time? The train is leaving soon.”
Uncle Ho, who had been silent all this while, interrupted. His voice was cold.
"What are you shouting for? The two children combined are not even older than you. Can't you have some self-respect?”
A colleague couldn't stand it and reprimanded him.
"That's right. I don't know if we'll meet again in this life. Besides, these two children aren't as bad as you think.”
His colleagues were all speaking up for Xing Lan.
"How could I have thought badly of the two children? The train is about to leave, and we still have to take another train.”
Uncle Ho didn't give in, but his words sounded a little more reasonable.
Hearing Uncle Ho's tone, one of the colleagues wanted to say something but was stopped by Xing Lan.""Uncle He, no matter what, we're going to separate soon. We've known each other for so long and we're very grateful for your concern and care. We didn't know that you were leaving today and didn't prepare any gifts, so we can only wish you good luck.”
Xing Lan's words were very sincere. He did not believe that he would meet him again in this life. Since he did not want to be friends, Xing Lan did not want to have another enemy for no reason. Everything would be considered even. Moreover, by following Old He, Xing Lan at least knew that there was such a person in the world. It was also a kind of harvest.
"The two of you are actually very good children. It's not easy to go out. Remember to take care of yourself.”
Uncle Ho left with his luggage.
"Xinglan, when you're outside, especially when you're so far away from home, remember to be more careful with Tian Ya. If you meet someone like Old He again, you might not be so lucky.”
"Yeah, yeah, the only thing I'm happy about is getting to know you guys. If the conditions permit, remember to keep in touch. This is my number…”
His colleagues exchanged contact information with Xing Lan one by one, but Xing Lan only told them his QQ number and then explained that he would change his phone number. Actually, Xing Lan had a fixed phone number. It was just that a long time ago, he no longer believed in this kind of relationship that was picked up from the ground. There were no twists and turns. It was just that they were in the same boat. In Xing Lan's eyes, this kind of relationship was like a disposable cup. It was enough to only be used once.
"Are you guys done? Are you still leaving?”
Uncle Ho roared from outside.
"Alright, we should be in contact in the future.”
Xing Lan urged.
Hearing this, the few of them did not say anything. Their colleagues left all the fruits they bought for Xing Lan and Tian Ya. Xing Lan could not refuse, so he could only let them fill half the bed with fruits.
After everything was done, the few of them picked up their luggage and looked at Xing Lan. They did not say anything and turned around to walk out. Xing Lan could see their sincerity in their eyes.
Xing Lan didn't go out. When it became quiet outside, Xing Lan started to tidy up the room. He picked up an apple and took a big bite. To be honest, although the apples in the northeast were big and beautiful, they weren't delicious at all.
