never far away

Opening a small room in a small hotel, Lin An looked at more than a dozen missed calls on his mobile phone, and simply turned off the mobile phone.After waking up the next day and going to work normally, I saw Li Sifei squatting on the side with red eyes at the door of the company, and I felt a little uncomfortable after all.

The two were silent for a while, before Li Sifei sniffed and said in a hoarse voice, "An'an, I was wrong, come back."

"I won't go back." Ignoring the pain in Li Sifei's eyes, Lin An made up his mind, "It's better for both of us, but I suggest you find a house that is a little more remote, and the price is not so expensive. Affordable places to live. The current apartment is due in a month, which should be enough time for you to find another house.”

"Can't you look for it with me? It doesn't matter if it's remote, old or small, as long as you live with me."

"Sifei, you know what I'm thinking, forget it, is that all right?" Lin An sighed.

"I don't want to forget it." Li Sifei suddenly leaned forward and grabbed his arm tightly, his eyes were full of pleading, "Give me one more chance, okay? I will definitely get rid of my previous habits in the future..." Suddenly A hand stretched out and pulled him away, Zhao Shu looked at him with an unfriendly expression, "Lin An has to go to work, please don't pester him here."

Li Sifei bit his lip, only looked at Lin An, Lin An turned his head, Zhao Shu said to him: "You go up first, I'll take care of it."

Lin An nodded and walked into the office building.

Zhao Shu showed up at the company more than an hour late. He knocked on Lin An's desk to signal him to enter his office. After Lin An came in, he took a sip of coffee, "Finally made up your mind?"

Lin An nodded, but his expression was not good. "How is he?"

"Crying hard, crying and cursing, according to your personality, you can really be intimidated. You can endure him for so long because of his tricks, right? Your temper is really... honed by Ah Wei, right? " Zhao Shu couldn't help sighing.

"He has also helped me a lot. I don't really care about money. I'm afraid that if this continues, he will really be useless." Li Sifei has lived in nothingness for the past few years, pursuing high-quality things, but his spirit is particularly weak. No matter how enthusiastic you are on the virtual network, you are afraid of contacting people in reality. "And he has never given up on me. I have no way to respond, but to leave."

Lin An raised the corners of his lips, and said slightly sarcasticly, "I'm really too much, I've always made him think that he is dependent on me, but in fact I'm dependent on him." So he didn't care about Li Sifei's tossing, instead he diverted himself because of something. Attention takes pleasure in expending one's own energy.

But now the time has come for separation.

He couldn't give Li Sifei a response, but he had already given up on Lin Wei's side.

Zhao Shu was silent for a while, and then said: "He just can't accept it for the time being. I talked to him. He has already gone back, and he probably won't come back in the future."

"um. Thank you."

"Where did you live last night?"

"In a small hotel."

Zhao Shu thought for a while, "I bought a small apartment when I first came to City A a few years ago. The location is not good, and it's not close to here, so it has been vacant. If you want to rent an apartment, do you want to see it? Look there? My rent is cheaper for you, and no deposit is required."

Lin An nodded, "Okay, thank you."

"Then I'll take you to see it after get off work."

That apartment is really far away from the company. Lin An calculated it. In addition, it takes about one and a half hours to get to the company by subway. The area is also very small, only one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, but the decoration design But it is very ingenious. Most of the furniture is foldable and creative, and the home appliances are relatively complete. The kitchen even has an oven, and the washing machine is also equipped with a drying function.

Zhao Shu said: "Because there is no balcony, I chose a washing machine with a drying function when I bought it. There is no bathtub in the bathroom, so I can't fit it, so I can only take a shower."

Lin An was quite satisfied, "This is very good."

"It's fine if you like it. I only lived in this house for a few months at the time, and I occasionally asked someone to clean it, so you can move in today with whatever you do. The quilts and pillows are all ready-made. If you don't like it, you can use it directly. It’s all been washed anyway.” Zhao Shu opened the closet to show him, and then opened the window to ventilate, “It’s pretty quiet here, but the subway station is a bit far away, and it’s estimated to take about 10 minutes to walk.”

"It's ok."

Zhao Department showed him the locations of the things one by one, and told him the location of the water valves and the main circuit switch, "You can pay the water and electricity bills directly online at that time, and the rent will be counted as your own." He stretched out a few finger.

Lin An was shocked, "So cheap?" This figure is at least half cheaper than the market price.

Zhao Shu smiled, "Am I ashamed to charge you more? I still like you. If I'm more wealthy, I should give you a house."

Lin An quickly shook his head, "No...no need..."

"I'm just kidding, I don't like you that much yet." Zhao Shu let out a little panic, seeing that Lin An was really relieved, and continued: "You don't have to pay me the rent now, I will call the accountant next month Deduct it from your salary. That's all I want to talk about, it's getting late, I'll go back first. By the way, there is a supermarket at the entrance of the community, go buy some daily necessities, the previous ones are all expired."

"Ok."

"If you need any other large items, please tell me, and I will buy them for you."

"No need, everything here is complete."

Zhao Shu smiled triumphantly, "That's right, I'm a home decorator, so my own home must be tidied up better."

Lin An went to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities, and after returning home, he cleaned the house again. He felt a little complicated about being left alone in the future, but he was full of hope.

Before going to bed, he edited a text message and sent it to Li Sifei—I’m sorry, I hope we can all move forward, I hope you can meet your best half, I hope you are happy, and I hope we will be friends forever.

After a long time, the other party sent back a text message, with only one word—OK.

Lin An finally calmed down, closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

During this period, Mrs. Lin was out again, and asked Lin An to chat in the teahouse, and she began to wipe tears after a short chat. "An'an, do you know? Weiwei is too much. It's fine if he doesn't come back to see us, and he doesn't let his son see us. Woohoo, my little great-grandson is so cute in the photo, but I can't see the real person ..."

Lin An didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only find excuses for Lin Wei, "Don't cry, old lady, maybe he just came back to work...so..."

"He is busy, but he still has time to rest. Last weekend he had something to do. I called him several times and asked him to send Tuantuan back so we can help him look after the child. He just didn't want to and didn't know how to put the child in the Where did you get wronged, woo woo..."

Lin An was embarrassed, and he really didn't dare to say that he put it on his own.

After the old lady Lin finished crying, she took his hand again to persuade him, "An'an, good boy, Wei Wei's wife will come back on the [-]th of next month. It's the first time we come to our house and we plan to have a few tables of wine to welcome you. Can you come too?"

Lin An's chest froze, his fingers trembled, and he instinctively refused, "I...I don't need it..."

"It's just for dinner. It's all my family. Others won't say anything. Besides, I've already told your father, and he doesn't object. Okay?"

Lin An met the old man's expectant eyes, but he didn't say any more words of rejection.

Returning home in a daze, he opened the calendar on his phone and turned to the ninth of next month.

21 days left.

He regretted why he didn't refuse, and in what capacity could he go then?Although others don't say it face to face, they definitely want to talk about it behind their backs. What will they say about him then?

The son of the junior who destroys other people's families?The shameless person who tried to return to the Lin family to fight for the family property?

It doesn't matter, what he fears the most is seeing Lin Wei's wife in real life, someone who is suitable to stand by his side.It should be very uncomfortable then, right?Because just thinking about it now is so painful.

But he hopes that he will suffer, so that he can completely cut off his unrealistic fantasies and remnants.

The days were spent day by day in torment, and at the weekend Lin Wei still sent Tuantuan over. He didn't say anything when he saw Lin Anxin's place, and drove away in a hurry.

Tuantuan, who has no return, still felt a little lonely at first, but later his uncle Xiao An read him a new storybook and played games with him, and his mood soon improved.The two also went to a big supermarket to buy back a bunch of Tuan Tuan's favorite snacks. For the lunch meal, Lin An also tried his best to arrange a table of dishes according to Tuan Tuan's taste in the past, and Tuan Tuan ate to his heart's content.

When Lin Wei arrived at night, he was still thinking about where to order a meal. When the door opened and he saw Lin An wearing an apron and holding a spatula, his mind suddenly went into a trance. He couldn't tell what time and place it was until Tuantuan came over Holding his leg, he woke up.

Tuantuan said happily, "Dad, uncle made pork ribs, they are delicious."

The room was indeed full of long-lost aromas. Lin Wei walked in and changed his shoes. Lin An looked at him hesitantly, "Do you want to eat here? I... I'm almost done."

"Ah."

The room is very small, it looks like a single apartment at first glance, the dining table is embedded in the wall, and it can be put down when you pull it down, there are three dishes on the small table, Lin Wei can tell at a glance that they are all Tuantuan's favorite food .

The last dish of braised pork ribs came to the table quickly, and Tuantuan took a breath, Lin Wei said, "Go and wash your hands."

"Oh." Tuantuan went to wash his hands obediently, and Lin An had already packed the rice when he came back.The two sat down in a circle and didn't say much for a while. After finishing the meal, Lin Wei took the initiative to wash the dishes. After washing, he didn't know how to open the cupboard, so he could only ask Lin An to come in.

Lin An pressed a place, and the cupboard door popped open. Lin Wei finished the bowl of rice, and couldn't help but say, "Ah Shu's house is very cleverly designed."

Lin An didn't know how to reply, so he just said "um".

Lin Wei continued talking to him, "Are you still used to living there?"

"pretty good."

"Ah That's good."

As if there was nothing else to say, the two exited the kitchen, Lin An put away the table, and Lin Wei began to ask Tuantuan, "Are you obedient today?"

"Very obedient and obedient, uncle, isn't it?"

Lin An returned a smiling face, and deliberately used the same soft and cute tone as him, "Yes."

Lin Wei was a little surprised when he heard his voice, and her heart suddenly warmed up, as if she had regained a little feeling from before, but this feeling was no longer aimed at herself.He induced Tuantuan to chat for a few words, Tuantuan loved to show off in front of his father and also wanted a sense of approval, so he kept asking Lin An to confirm that he was good and good today, Lin An naturally did what he wanted and coaxed him to be happy .

Lin Wei didn't care what they said, but only cared about the happy smile on Lin An's face now.

Haven't seen it for a long time, I miss it so much.
