One thought comes true

On Jiang Chenyin's birthday, just like last year, everyone gathered happily in the Jiang family's old house, and it seemed that there was no change because of the absence of one person.

Jiang Yixuan, the grandson of Jiang's patriarch, went to college, and he followed up with the elders when they were drinking, and Mr. Jiang gave a few words of advice.

Jiang Gaojun was still cooking tonight, but Meng Yi'an no longer told Jiang Chenyin that Jiang Gaojun was good at cooking after dinner, and there was no girl waiting in her room who would make Jiang Chenyin feel soft whenever he thought of it.

There was snow in the night sky, and Ye Xialan and Lan Yuxin were drinking happily. The two women took a few bottles of wine, brought some snacks to the table and chairs in the corner of the banquet hall, sat down and chatted shoulder to shoulder.

Ye Xialan drank the wine, hugged Lan Yuxin and said in an ambiguous tone: "Friend, find a partner and look for you, Sister Ye!"

Lan Yuxin blinked several times, "No... Sister Ye, although I'm interested in women, you have a family after all, it's not very good..."

Ye Xialan stared at her blankly, then laughed loudly: "What are you thinking! I'm talking about giving you some advice, not doing anything to you!"

"Oh oh oh, I was scared to death!" Lan Yuxin scratched her head, hugged the wine bottle and cuddled up with Ye Xialan, "Hey, why are the old men over there so noisy? They can't be as elegant as us Is it?"

Ye Xialan glanced at the men who were drinking at the long table not far away, and said "tch", "Isn't this how a group of old men get together? I don't think any of them can leave tonight like this. Stay all down."

Lan Yuxin took a sip of the wine and said quietly, "I don't like the fruit cake tonight, but the ice cream cake is better."

Speaking of cakes, Ye Xialan sighed, "If my daughter was here, she would love to eat any kind of cake. In the past, she ate the most cakes on Mrs. Jiang's birthday, but this year she is too busy to eat."

"Why does Xiaomu love cakes so much?" Lan Yuxin frowned and muttered, "I used to be busy filming to make money, so I didn't have much time to play with Teacher Jiang. I haven't seen Xiaomu a few times, and I don't know that she loves cakes." .”

Ye Xialan said with a smile: "She doesn't just love cakes, she loves to eat anything sweet, any kind of candy or snacks. It's just that now that she's grown up and busy, it's not like she always hugged snacks when she was a child."

Lan Yuxin suddenly turned her head and smiled at Ye Xialan: "Then I know this. Before I bought supper to eat at Mr. Jiang's house, Mr. Jiang asked me to buy sweeter ones, saying that Xiaomu likes them."

She was startled after she finished speaking, as if she had missed something.

Yes, since when did the relationship between Jiang Chenyin and Mu Muyu seem to be getting colder.She didn't know the specifics, but she felt this inexplicably, because after Mu Muyu moved out of Jiang Chenyin's house, there was an invisible distance between the two.After that, when it came to what happened on the night of Ye Xialan's birthday, she always felt that there was something wrong between these two people.

She was very busy afterwards, so she didn't think about it. After Mu Muyu called Jiang Chenyin to stop that day, the two of them behaved very strangely. Jiang Chenyin still let her go first with a cold face.

She drank too much that day, her head was very uncomfortable, and she waited for Jiang Chenyin in the garage for a long time.She remembered that when Jiang Chenyin entered the garage, his steps were slow and his face was calm.It was nothing at all, but Jiang Chenyin didn't say a word when he sent her home, and her answer was so succinct to the point of indifference, this is a rare situation.

Lan Yuxin shuddered and accidentally bumped Ye Xialan's head.

"Why did you bump into me?" Ye Xialan asked, frowning.

"Sister Ye, there's something wrong!" Lan Yuxin felt something was wrong the more he thought about it, and slapped his thigh.

"Speak well, I'm fine."

Lan Yuxin quickly explained: "No, I didn't mean you have something wrong, I said..." She stopped suddenly, the rest of the words stuck in her throat, she licked her lips and then quickly changed the subject : "I think there may be something wrong with my TV at home. I want to replace it with a new one, the one with the biggest screen now."

"What did I think? I came here to drink in a sudden surprise." After speaking, Ye Xialan touched Lan Yuxin's wine bottle with the bottle.

Lan Yuxin touched the bottle with Ye Xialan in a daze, his eyes rolled around while drinking, his thoughts had long been on the wine in the bottle.

She looked around and finally caught sight of Jiang Chenyin standing on the balcony with his back to the banquet hall.

Jiang Chenyin stood on the balcony for a long time, drinking a glass of fruit juice. The fruit juice was sweet and sour, mostly sweet, but she always felt unbearably sour with every sip.

Snowflakes were falling on a winter night, and her eyes fell through the flying snow to an unknown corner outside. The banquet hall behind was noisy, but she seemed to be the only one in the world.

She had a hard day, working in the morning, eating at lunch, returning to the office in the afternoon, and driving after get off work.Whenever she calms down, she will think of the text message she saw after getting up in the morning, and she has been thinking about the name for several months.

Mu Muyu sent her a text message, there was no address and no extra words, only a "Happy Birthday" that fit the occasion, and it was received in the middle of the night.

She didn't reply and didn't know how to respond.

Today was the first time she was almost late for work, she sat by the bed and thought about it for a long time, thinking about Mu Muyu's appearance before she sent this text message.Will it be these simple four words? In fact, I have considered for a long time, hesitated repeatedly, and even wanted to give up for a while.Will she be restless, afraid that she will get angry when she sees it, and also afraid that she will feel disgusted.

When Jiang Chenyin thought of this, many emotions were accumulated in his heart at once, and his heart was very entangled.

At this age, she has seen many things and experienced storms. She has been kind to others for many years, and the last thing she wants to do is to hurt others.But now she personally hurt the child she had spoiled for so many years, she was the one who abandoned that child.

At this state of mind, Jiang Chenyin's whole heart trembled, and the hand holding the cup turned white.

She was emotionally unstable and it was inconvenient to stay in the old house, so she left the old house after the banquet.

It was only after returning to the community that Jiang Chenyin remembered that she forgot to buy new toiletries. She rubbed her head, parked her car, and walked to the small supermarket in the community.

It was snowing on Christmas Eve, and many people were reluctant to come out at home.It was already late when she returned to the community, the light from the street lamps blended with the color of the snow, and even the snow scene was a little more lonely.

It's been a while since she added her own toiletries. Before that, it was Mu Muyu who paid attention to these things. She even bought an extra set of toothbrushes, pink blue and pink.

It's just that the powder blue is always on, and no one is going to exchange it for a new one.

She shook her head, stepped into the door of the small supermarket, and was stunned for a moment.

There was a man in a wheelchair next to the cash register, and at this time a man in a suit and leather shoes leaned over to kiss him. The two of them had a natural posture, not out of the blue, but a couple who had been together for a long time.

Jiang Chenyin took a deep breath, turned sideways to avoid this scene.

She heard a thick and steady male voice say in a low voice: "You go back first, I will go back after I close the shop."

After a moment of silence, another man said softly, "Okay." It was a very young voice.

After the sound of footsteps disappeared, Jiang Chenyin walked into the small supermarket to pick out her own things. She looked around, but there was no one inside, no wonder she couldn't help herself.When she picked out all the things she needed and went to checkout, she subconsciously glanced at the boss in a wheelchair. She had talked to him when she was shopping, but she had never paid attention to him like today.

The boss who put her things in the bag suddenly said, "Sorry, I made you laugh."

Jiang Chenyin smiled: "It's okay."

Seeing her kindness, the boss took the opportunity to explain: "Today's Christmas Eve, he has to work overtime. He just came back from work. He saw that there was no one in the store, so he forgot about it." He paused as he picked up something in his hand , with a smile on his face: "Young people never learn to restrain themselves."

Jiang Chenyin was taken aback for a moment, thinking that the man's voice was very young just now, and the boss in front of him should be about the same age as her.

"You... are there a big age difference?" She couldn't help being curious, but the next second she felt that she was being rude, "Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that question."

The boss shook his head and said to her, "It's okay, Ms. Jiang, you are a resident here, so we have come and gone." He paused, then changed the subject: "I'm 14 years older than him."

Jiang Chenyin stared at him in surprise, "14 years old?"

The boss nodded with a smile, and seemed to have no complaints about the age difference: "I didn't live here before. Many years ago, he was a classmate of my neighbor's youngest son."

Jiang Chenyin became more and more curious, "Is that how you know each other?"

"Well, yes." The boss lowered his head, put the pair of powder blue and pink toothbrushes that Jiang Chenyin bought into the bag, and his tone fell into memory: "We have known each other for 12 years, and we have been together for eight years. .I am 40 years old now, and he is 26 years old. I was close to my age, but he was not yet of age."

Jiang Chenyin asked softly, "Is everything going well between you two?"

"Of course it didn't go well, I knew it that year." The boss smiled again, sighed slightly, turned the wheelchair around from the cash register, and stopped beside Jiang Chenyin, "I was very stressed, even though I was very nervous at that time. Young, but there is no way to avoid that mentality. Because we are the same gender, and I am a lot older than him. Plus my legs.. But he is still so young, he deserves better when he grows up future, instead of staying with me to take care of me and watch me grow older than him first."

"You're tempted." For some reason, Jiang Chenyin always felt that his hesitation was not because of lack of feelings, but because of the huge age difference and homosexuality.

"You seem to see clearly." The boss suddenly smiled at her.

"No, I'm just..." Jiang Chen was speechless, pursed his lips and thought for a long time, then sighed and said, "Intuition, if you are not tempted, then you won't think so much, and you won't feel pressure."

The boss nodded and continued: "I have struggled for a long time. During this period, he is growing and persisting. His family is better than mine. After I finally made up my mind, he only has this place to live, and then we will live together Moved here."

Jiang Chenyin couldn't help saying: "I'm curious about the reason that made you make up your mind."

In a relationship with such a large age gap, it is not just the heartbeat that can make the older party decide to start.Bearing such a heavy love affair, this is not something couples of similar age can feel, and only the older party can appreciate the suffering.

"The reason is the worst result." The boss looked at her with a smile. "If we are not together, then the worst result is either this relationship fades away, or each other disappears from each other's life and spends the rest of the time alone. It’s not until I’m old that I regret why I didn’t try it in the first place.”

He stopped, Jiang Chenyin seemed to be asking him, but also seemed to be talking to himself: "Maybe it will fade away?"

The boss quickly shook his head, with a deep soft light in his eyes, "I don't want to fade away."

Jiang Chenyin's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a lump in his throat, unable to speak.She looked at the price displayed on the computer, silently took out her phone and swiped WeChat to pay.

Before she could say goodbye, the boss said thoughtfully, "You seem to be more than just curious."

Jiang Chenyin shook his head, lowered his eyes to pick up her bag.

The snow was still falling outside the door, Jiang Chenyin smiled and said, "Thank you for satisfying my curiosity." She paused, and murmured to herself, "But these are too far away for me."

After she finished speaking, she nodded to bid farewell to the boss, and walked into the wind and snow.
