Run in the opposite direction

The bridge is opened around the third ring.

Xing Chen recalled the beginning of the reunion in Luojiang, he was delighted and at the same time regretted Qiao Qianyan's change, but at that time he was not very interested in "why it changed".Now that it has changed, what's the point of pursuing the process.

But since the two of them lived together, Xing Chen gradually became curious about Qiao Qianyan's past, and wanted him to no longer be pessimistic and lonely.Now, Xing Chen has almost understood all the details, tried to perceive all the emotions of Qiao Qianyan, wanted to accompany him through the process of change, and even wanted to kill those who hurt him one by one.

When these harsh thoughts lingered in his mind, Xing Chen finally realized that he fell in love with Qiao Qianyan again.

Or maybe, when Xing Chen met Qiao Qianyan at the Luojiang Inn, Xing Chen fell in love at first sight again.

Emotional matters are always mysterious and difficult to understand. Xing Chen was unwilling to analyze them before, but now he doesn't need to think too much about them.Some people are the catastrophe that you can't escape in this life. As long as you meet them, no matter what the occasion, no matter what age, the consequences will be the same.

Xing Chen turned the car around and drove in the direction of the garden in the south of the city. After parking the car, he quickly went upstairs and stopped suddenly when he was standing at the door and was about to raise his hand to knock.Xing Chen stood with his fists clenched for a few seconds, then turned and went downstairs.

Father Xing was watering the flowers on the balcony, when he heard the door open and came out, he saw Xing Chen, and asked strangely, "Where's your mother? Didn't come back with you?"

Xing Chen: "She probably won't come back until after dinner."

Father Xing nodded, ready to go back to the balcony and continue tending the flowers and plants.

Xing Chen stopped him: "Dad, I have something to tell you."

Seeing his solemn expression, Father Xing put down the kettle and walked to the living room: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with work?"

Xing Chen sat opposite his father, looked at him and said, "Didn't your mother and you always blame me for not having a girlfriend?"

Xing's father smiled when he heard the words: "Hey, your mother is in a hurry. Did life-long events come at random? There is no suitable one, and it doesn't matter if it is later."

Xing Chen looked serious: "I haven't had a girlfriend all these years. It's not because I have high vision or busy work. It's because... I have never liked women since I was a child."

Father Xing: "..."

Xing Chen knew that it would be difficult for his father to digest the first words, so he continued: "I have been in love, but the person has always been a man."

Father Xing choked up all the tea in a mouthful.

Xing Chen took out a piece of paper and wiped his father's mouth.

Father Xing: "Does your mother know about this?"

Xing Chen shook his head.

Father Xing: "That's good. Don't tell her. Once you say she can't stand it, I'll tell her slowly later."

Xing Chen: "...Dad, why are you so calm?"

Father Xing took another piece of paper to wipe the snot that he choked just now: "Otherwise, let you go to the balcony to kneel for three days and three nights?"

Xing Chen: "Have you already guessed about this?"

Xing's father glared at him and said, "Can you not guess? When I was your age, you ran all over the place. But you have a tough bone, and you don't want to find a girl to come back to fool us all these years."

Xing Chen smiled: "The girl doesn't owe me anything."

Father Xing: "A Chen, I don't need to remind you what your status is. You should think about it. If you really want to never get married for the rest of your life, it may not matter if you leave other careers. If you are in the system, you will face great pressure. Maybe, That's the end of your future."

Xing Chen's face was calm: "Dad, others may not understand me, don't you understand?"

Father Xing naturally understood. Although it cannot be said that Xing Chen did not have his father's help in his official career, he knew that how far Xing Chen could go would not depend on his private life, but on his inner goals and his own. own ability.

Father Xing: "You should have one more thing to tell me."

Xing Chen: "How do you know?"

Father Xing knew it all: "Otherwise, based on your filial piety to us, this kind of thing must be delayed for a day, for fear of making us sad. Now that you said it suddenly, there must be someone, and we can't hide it." .”

Xing Chen gave a thumbs up: "Ginger is still old and spicy."

Xing's father: "Don't be afraid of flattery, if a storm comes, you'll bet all in at once, and the next time in a day, will you let people live?"

"Okay, I'm relieved that you're in such a good mood." Xing Chen turned a small orange on the table with a smile in his eyes, "You've seen him many times."

Xing's father was quite surprised, he squinted his eyes to look at Xing Chen, and recalled the young man he had seen in his mind.

Xing Chen watched his father's expression change from doubt to surprise, and said with a smile, "It's the one you guessed, Qiao Qianyan."

Father Xing: "..."

Xing Chen patted his knees and stood up: "Dad, you find a way to tell my mother about this, and reassure her by the way, I won't mess around, and I will be with Qiao Qianyan for the rest of my life."

After speaking, he ran out quickly before the old man could react.

Xing Chen whistled and got into the car, and arrived at Chengnan Garden 10 minutes later.He stood outside the door, stroked his thoughts, raised his hand and rang the doorbell.After pressing four or five times, no one opened the door.

Xing Chen called Qiao Qianyan: "Qianyan, aren't you home?"

Qiao Qianyan: "I'm back to Luojiang."

Xing Chen immediately hung up the phone, holding the phone tightly to resist the urge to kick the door.Xing Chen originally thought that Qiao Qianyan was just angry for a while, but he didn't expect him to go back to Luojiang to be his innkeeper without saying a word.

Xing Chen had just expressed his heart in front of his father, saying that he would be with Qiao Qianyan for the rest of his life, but when he turned around, Qiao Qianyan abandoned him and ran away.Xing Chen took a deep breath, went downstairs and drove to the train station.

27

In the Luojiang River in March in Yangchun, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

Xing Chen's face was tense all the way, and he didn't intend to appreciate the beauty of the evening.Walking to the door of Ancheng Inn, Xing Chen recalled the feeling of the first time he stepped into this door, there was a wonderful sense of tension at that time.This time too, Xing Chen stepped on the cobblestones behind the door and stepped into the courtyard step by step.

Qiao Qianyan was squatting in the corner of the yard pulling weeds. He hadn't come back for several months, and the weeds in the yard covered up the flowers.

Looking at the back, Xing Chen was soothed from his exasperation along the way, and his mood strangely calmed down.Just like in the past few months, on his way home from get off work every day, he felt peaceful and looking forward to it.He used to find it hard to believe that there would be someone who would completely find a sense of belonging in his wandering heart for more than 30 years. He was willing to waste time and waste his life.Xing Chen would not deny the former Qiao Qianyan, but he gradually realized that he never thought about the word "everyday" back then, but now, he is extremely eager and looking forward to it.

Xing Chen walked slowly to Qiao Qianyan's side, and also knelt down to pull weeds.

Qiao Qianyan looked at the person who suddenly jumped out from the ground, and said in surprise: "You, why are you here?"

Xing Chen looked around the entire yard, and finally set his gaze on Qiao Qianyan's face: "Boss Xiao Qiao, if I become the second owner of this inn, would you be willing?"

Qiao Qianyan: "...What do you mean?"

Xing Chen clapped his hands and sat directly on the ground: "Since you don't want to stay in Ancheng, then I have no choice but to move here."

Qiao Qianyan was a little dazed: "Move here?"

Xing Chen: "Yes, although I don't have much money, if I sell my house, I should be able to buy this inn. I will pay half and keep half for investment, and we will keep it for our retirement in the future."

Only then did Qiao Qianyan understand what Xing Chen meant, he moved his body and squatted opposite Xing Chen: "Are you serious?"

Xing Chen put his hand on Qiao Qianyan's knee: "The resignation of a government unit is not like a private company. It may take several months to go through the process, so maybe I will have to go back to Ancheng often. But my house is easy to sell, and it can be sold online within a day or two. It can change hands. Didn’t you say last year that you wanted to renovate the inn? These days we can go to the decoration team, and we can start construction as soon as the money from the sale arrives.”

Qiao Qianyan looked into his eyes: "What about your parents?"

Xing Chen: "My dad already knows about our relationship. If he doesn't object, then my mother won't either. The two of them like to travel around, why don't we take them to Luojiang for retirement. Of course, if we live together, you Definitely uncomfortable, so how about we buy them a house nearby?"

Qiao Qianyan stared at Xing Chen for a long time, with a smile in his bright eyes: "I think...the plan is perfect."

Xing Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Qiao Qianyan into his arms: "After that, you can't just run away without saying a word."

Qiao Qianyan's head was pressed against Xing Chen's neck, Xing Chen turned a little sideways, tested the temperature of Qiao Qianyan's forehead with his cheek, and asked, "Do you still have a fever these days?"

Qiao Qianyan shook his head.

Xing Chen looked at him from a close distance, and said, "The face is covered with dirt."

Qiao Qianyan wanted to get up, Xing Chen held him down, and reached out to wipe the dust on the bridge of his nose.Surrounded by silence, Xing Chen's stomach suddenly rang.

Qiao Qianyan smiled and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Xing Chen: "No, I haven't eaten all day."

Qiao Qianyan put his shoulders on his shoulders and stood up: "I'll make dinner."

Xing Chen followed him into the kitchen, took the vegetables in the basket and started washing.He watched Qiao Qianyan cut the meat, and asked suspiciously, "How long have you been back? Buying so much meat."

"I arrived at noon today, and the neighbor next door saw me coming back and gave me a piece of bacon." Qiao Qianyan put the sliced ​​meat on the plate, "What about you, why haven't you eaten all day?"

Xing Chen looked at him with his hands on the edge of the pool: "Accompanies my mother to the class reunion at noon today, and met Han Zhe."

Qiao Qianyan paused and blinked his eyelids a few times: "Did you talk?"

Xing Chen: "I said hello, if it wasn't for so many old men and old ladies, I would probably beat him up."

Qiao Qianyan was amused: "Why are you beating him?"

Xing Chen: "I saw your company's bankruptcy case."

Qiao Qianyan looked up at him.

Xing Chen: "However, Han Zhe was not mentioned much in the case. I just guessed from your previous reaction that he must be sorry for you. Would you like to tell me?"
