never far away

The kitten was named Guigui by Li Sifei. When the photo was posted on Weibo, a large number of fans shouted "It's so cute" and "I want to suck it". His original intention of buying the cat was to attract fans. I'm in a good mood.Some people also asked him why he called him "Guigui". He thought for a while and replied "I hope my boyfriend can go home early every day", and fans began to call him "□□Shou".

Lin An didn't notice this at all, and now he was only worried about the increasingly high consumption.Li Sifei likes to follow the trend. Now that baking is popular, he bought an oven, and then bought a lot of useful and useless ingredients.Recently, he was thinking about buying a SLR, and where to travel, preferably abroad.

He mentioned his plan to Lin An, Lin An looked at him in embarrassment and told him that he didn't have enough money, so he gave up resentfully, and restrained his other behaviors.

During this period of time, Lin An applied for continuous overtime work. Zhao Shu finally sensed something was wrong and asked him, "Are you short of money recently?"

Lin An hesitated for a moment, "Fortunately, it's fine even if you go back, why don't you earn more overtime pay." He changed the subject and asked Zhao Department about something he didn't understand on a recent list. Ask, carefully explain to him.

At the end of the year, Li Sifei actually got in touch with his family. He went back to his hometown for the New Year, leaving one person and one cat behind. Before leaving, he asked, "An'an, do you want to go back with me? My family already understands me, and they will take you back with me." won't say anything."

"No, thank you." Lin An warmed his heart, and touched the sleeping cat lying on his lap, "Safe trip."

"Don't worry, I'll be back after the Lantern Festival, and I'll bring you some specialties then."

The house was deserted, and Gui Gui didn't like to move in winter, so he liked to sleep next to Lin An, and sometimes he would climb into his bed to sleep at night, Lin An didn't stop him, and they got along very happily with each other.

But in the end also a little lonely.

He was grateful to Li Sifei, no matter what, when he was helpless and sick, there was someone by his side. Although he sometimes lost his temper, he could bear it.And after getting acquainted with him, he will show his talkative and clingy side, which often leaves Lin An with no time to care about other things.

He is still not used to the sudden quietness. He goes to the supermarket every three days to do some shopping, and at other times he doesn’t go out unless he throws out the trash. Except for three meals and sleeping every day, he hugs the cat to watch movies or read novels.During the period, Mrs. Lin called again to invite him to dinner, but he refused without hesitation.

He really didn't want to have anything to do with the Lin family, and sometimes he wanted to just sign the agreement and donate the money when he got it, and he had a clear conscience.

But he was also afraid, afraid that Lin Xian would show a disdainful expression of "just like his mother" after knowing that he took the money, and also afraid that Lin Wei would look down on him even more.

After the new year passed, he started to go to work again. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Sifei happily returned with a lot of special products, and his clothes were completely new. He winked at Lin An, "My mother bought it for me."

Lin An could only smile. He listened to Li Sifei babbling about the excitement at home and anecdotes about his hometown, and said: "The relatives in my family thought I couldn't bear it, but they didn't expect that I not only graduated It's not bad, I just shut up. There are still people who don't have eyes and want to say goodbye to me, but my mother blocked it back. My mother said that it doesn't matter if you find a man in the future, as long as he is good and treats me well. , I told her that there is one person who treats me very well now, but I haven't caught up yet."

Lin An could not help but persuade him, "Sifei, I only consider you a younger brother and a friend. It would be better for you to really talk about it, so you don't have to spend too much time on me."

"You also know that I put all my heart into you?" Li Sifei stuck out his tongue, "But I can't help it, I just like you, even if you are a rock, I don't believe that if you cover it for three to five years, it won't heat you up?"

"It's been five years since we lived together, you should give up." Lin An sighed.

Li Sifei stared at him, and his tone became fierce, "I'm not giving up! Don't tell me to give up. Anyway, you don't like someone who treats me so well. Maybe you already liked me, but you haven't noticed it yet. .”

Lin An smiled, and whispered softly, "I know what it feels like to like someone..."

Li Sifei didn't hear his words clearly, "What did you just say?"

"……nothing."

Years later, Li Sifei still didn't find a job. He cooperated with several publishing houses and occasionally handed in a few drawings, but his income was not much.But he didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, he bought whatever he wanted, and ate whatever he liked. When Lin An said that he didn't have enough money, he would call his mother to ask for it, living a relaxed and comfortable life.

Lin An reminded him that this is not good, and that he should find a proper job to be safe. He immediately burst into tears, saying that he was not good at dealing with people, and he didn't like to show jokes to others.Lin An thought about it, and decided to give him another year. If this is still the case, he can no longer spoil him and can only move out.

He has endured a year of hard work, and his financial situation has become more and more difficult. He often changes clothes in three or four sets a season, and tries not to order takeout for work meals, and brings his own meals.

Before he got off work that day, Li Sifei called, "An'an, I want to eat durian."

With more than 200 yuan in his pocket, he thought it would be enough to buy one, "I'll go to the supermarket to buy it for you after get off work."

"Hmm, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, he rubbed his throbbing forehead, found a piece of ibuprofen and water from the drawer and swallowed it.Dandan sitting next to him saw him taking medicine, and asked with concern: "Brother Lin, what's wrong?"

Lin An quickly smiled, "It's okay, it's just that my head hurts, maybe I've been facing the computer for too long."

"Remember to take a good rest at night. Your complexion looks so bad. Brother Zhao drinks with clients until midnight every day, and his complexion is not as bad as yours." Dandan stared at him for a while, and concluded, "And you've lost weight. A lot." She deliberately lowered her voice, "To be honest, if you have any difficulties, tell brother Zhao, he cares about you so much, and he will definitely help you solve it."

Lin An smiled and shook his head, "It's really nothing, it's just that I read novels too late at night and didn't sleep well."

Dandan became excited again, "Is it reading online articles? I tell you that I am too. I can't stop reading it, especially the long ones, which are very refreshing."

After getting off work, Dandan just packed up his things and left without getting enough.

The company is not far from the rented apartment, only 10 minutes away. Lin An walks to and from get off work every day.There is a chain of large supermarkets in the middle. He walked in and went to the fruit section to see how much durian costs. If there is still money left, he plans to buy some vegetables by the way.

The durians are domestically produced in Thailand and Malaysia, and the price is quite expensive. If you buy a whole durian, it will cost about [-] yuan. He wanted to ask if he could only buy half of it. After walking two steps, he felt that there was a durian hanging on his leg. Something, looking down, a little boy about three years old was hugging his leg, looking at him with big eyes.

Lin An looked around and saw no one was there, he lowered his body and patted the little boy's head, "Little friend, did you get separated from your parents?"

The little boy shook his head slightly, and stared at him closely, his pupils were black and shiny, extremely beautiful.Lin An was about to hug him when he heard him grinning, "Xiao...an?"

Lin An was taken aback, and his hands shook uncontrollably.

Since he separated from Lin Wei, no one else called him that.

Both Li Sifei and Mrs. Lin call him An An, those who are younger than him in the company call him Brother Lin, those who are older call him Lin An, and strangers and customers call him Mr. Lin.

The word "Xiao'an" seemed to have become Lin Wei's exclusive address.

How could it be possible not to frighten him to call it out rashly from the mouth of a child at this moment?

The little boy suddenly became excited, hugged him tighter with both hands, and shouted loudly, "Dad... Dad... Xiao An! It's Xiao An!"

Lin An looked at him inexplicably. It was only when a tall man hurriedly walked up to him that he came back to his senses. When he raised his head, he felt that his heartbeat was about to stop.

The little boy let go of his hand, ran to embrace Lin Wei's leg with a "da da", pointed at Lin An, and said excitedly, "Dad, dad, Xiao An, really Xiao An."

He was still a little vague, but the two adults present understood what he meant.Lin An finally realized that he had lost his composure and stood up. He didn't know how to place his hands and feet for a while. After holding back for a while, he could only say: "Ah...Ah Wei, long time no see." The voice was something he could feel trembling.

Lin Wei was much calmer, he picked up the little boy, "Long time no see."

The little boy in his arms smiled at him, showing a look of "come and praise me", Lin Wei frowned, "I told you not to run around, why are you disobedient? You will be caught by a beggar later, and you will have nothing to eat." eat."

The little boy turned his face down, and hugged his neck coquettishly, "I'm obedient, I want to eat." Lin Wei frightened him a few words and coaxed him, before continuing to look at Lin An, "Come to buy some fruit?"

"Yeah." Lin An hurriedly carried a durian to the scale, his heart was beating so hard that he didn't dare to look back at the scorching gaze.He suddenly regretted coming to City A, knowing that there was a high chance of meeting him, and it would only embarrass himself.

There is a trace of rejoicing in the regret, it turns out that we can really meet again.

The scale was finished quickly, and he didn't look at the amount on it. He kept thinking about saying something to say goodbye, but before he could say what he expected, Lin Wei's voice came, "Let's have a meal together."

It was not in a negotiating tone, Lin An had no way to refuse.
