"Eric, goodbye."
"goodbye."
The sun had just set when I got off work, but the gloomy weather in the foggy city was definitely not in vain.
There were withered yellow leaves on the roadside, and when Xie Zhitan stepped on them, the crisp sound was inexplicably lonely.
Suddenly his ears moved, his head moved slightly, and then he strode forward.
It’s not far from the campus to the apartment where Xie Zhitan rented.
After turning a corner, the voice behind him was still there. Xie Zhitan's eyes moved slightly and he leaned against the wall without moving.
Soon, a not-so-tall figure hurriedly followed.
"ah!"
"I'm sorry, Eric, I didn't mean to follow you."
The boy's soft voice was filled with anxiety and urgency.
He had a Chinese face and was fair-skinned. When Xie Zhitan discovered that he was being followed, he immediately blushed and tried to explain in a panic.
"Are you a student nearby? You were hiding nearby when I called the police last time. I know you."
Xie Zhitan's expression turned indifferent when he saw him.
"Eric, you actually remember me!"
The boy was completely unaware of Xie Zhitan's surprise and irritability.
"I like you very much, Eric, please give me a chance!"
As he spoke, he took a step closer to Xie Zhitan. When Xie Zhitan heard this, there was a deep disgust in his eyes.
"I know a lot of lawyers here. If you don't want to be charged with stalking and forced to be deported for breaking the law, then don't show up in front of me again."
After Xie Zhitan finished speaking, he turned and left without even looking at him again.
The boy's face turned pale instantly. Eric's expression just now was so terrifying.
He knew that what Eric had just said was true.
In the apartment.
Running at night in the foggy city is risky, so Xie Zhitan can only continue this habit on the treadmill.
After running for 20 minutes longer than usual, Xie Zhitan came out of the treadmill panting.
What was very rare was that he actually saw a ray of setting sun in the western sky from the floor-to-ceiling window facing him.
He stood there for a moment, then walked into the bathroom.
The layout of this apartment is exactly the opposite of the one next door.
Xie Zhitan glanced at the exhaust fan on the wall with a puzzled expression.
There should be a bathroom connecting the two apartments.
Just as he was thinking about it, a distant and faint sound of running water came. It was very subtle, and he could only hear it a little because it was too quiet in Xie Zhitan's bathroom.
He lowered his eyes, took off his wet clothes and stood under the shower.
Soon the warm water flowed downstream.
It slid across his calm and handsome face, passed through his strong but not bloated abdominal muscles, and finally merged into a deep valley somewhere.
However, today his peace was easily broken.
Xie Zhitan moved his head out of the shower, supported himself on the wall with one hand, wiped the water off his face with the other hand, and then lowered his head.
Something that shouldn't have moved at this time actually revived.
He paused for a few seconds, slowly lowering his free hand.
On that day, Xie Zhitan took 20 minutes longer than usual to run and an hour longer than usual to take a shower.
So that night he only read some literature for half an hour before going to bed.
He thought he was dreaming, but when he opened his eyes again the alarm clock rang.
Another peaceful day.
Friday came in a flash.
Xie Zhitan's teacher is a white man in his 60s with blond hair, who is very literary, lively and romantic.
He and his new 'true love' wanted to have a meal together before the holidays.
Xie Zhitan could not refuse.
Dinner was scheduled on the busiest street in the center of the foggy city.
In addition to restaurants, there are also many bars, pet shops and luxury stores on this street.
As soon as it got dark, the dim lights here were already on.
A familiar yet more unfamiliar foreign language was heard all around, and the words were full of compliments and politeness.
'True Love' is a mature and sexy woman in her 40s.
The group met at the restaurant door and couldn't help but exchange greetings.
Xie Zhitan stood at the door and listened. Although he had a warm smile on his face, his thoughts drifted far away.
There is no difference between the upper class in the foggy city and those in the imperial capital.
When he first came here to study, this street was often looked down upon by his classmates, who thought it was a place only their parents would like.
Old, boring, and uninspired.
Unexpectedly, within a few years, all the people walking on this street were young people.
Hearing laughter again, Xie Zhitan looked in that direction and then paused.
"Eric, let's go in."
The new colleague was very young. He smiled and pulled Xie Zhitan inside without any restraint.
Elite men in suits and ties entered the restaurant, and a few young people were whispering not far away.
"See? The guy in the gray suit who's bowing and nodding inside just made the list of newly minted rich people."
"In the foggy city, it's not easy to get on the rankings."
"He might run for the next governor of the foggy city."
"So, that white-haired old man is the real protagonist?"
"Of course. His last name is Child."
"Am I the only one who noticed the most handsome guy? Wasn't he the one that was forwarded like crazy in the group a while ago? I didn't expect that not only is he not a student, but he also has such a good circle."
At this time, Lu Tianyi finally looked up: "Are you going in or not? Who are you waiting for?"
The black guy asked him, "There are still two who haven't arrived yet. They said they will be here soon. Do we still have to wait for your brother?"
They were students from a private boys' school far from here. They had all just turned 18 and were very curious about drinking openly.
We made an appointment to go to the bar for a drink on the weekend.
