don't take my blame

Hearing Ji Wen calling him, Li Xingyu turned around.

Ji Wen was still wearing work clothes, which were stained with engine oil, and even had marks on his face.

Seeing Li Xingyu looking at him, Ji Wen first stretched out his hand and pulled off the gloves. It must be too late to change his clothes, because he believed that if he changed his clothes, Li Xingyu would definitely not wait for him.

Li Xingyu nodded politely, "Thank you, no need."

Ji Wen looked at him, his gaze went from Li Xingyu's forehead to his slightly loose neckline. It is impossible for Li Xingyu, who is 28 years old this year, to remain unchanged from when he was 21 years old.

Although the facial features are still the same, and the skin is still fair without any blemishes, but the outline of the whole person is still a bit more mature, and the biggest change is probably the demeanor and demeanor.

He found that Li Xingyu stood very straight now, but in the past he always felt limp. Although Li Xingyu's eyes were not sharp, they were calm and indifferent. In the past, he was only indifferent, but not so calm.

The small workers in the auto repair shop were all buried in their work, but they couldn't help looking this way from the corner of their eyes.

Chen Yang raised his hand and threw a car key to Ji Wen.

Although Li Xingyu refused, Ji Wen still insisted on saying to him: "It's not easy for you to take a taxi at this time. I have nothing to do, so I just happened to give you a ride."

"I..." Before Li Xingyu finished speaking, the phone in his pocket rang.He nodded to Ji Wen, motioning for himself to leave for a while and answer the phone first.

The phone call was made by a colleague from the firm, telling Li Xingyu that the relative of the defendant in the rape case he took had come over and must see him now.

Li Xingyu said: "Tell them that I have something to do outside and can't go back."

There was a young girl over there with a rather embarrassed tone, "They said they won't leave today if they don't see you."

Li Xingyu wanted to talk, but a deputy director of the law firm over there answered the phone and said, "Xiao Li, come back first."

When he was answering the phone, he was standing outside the gate of the garage facing the street, only to see that the sky that was already lightly raining suddenly became more gloomy, and then the raindrops began to grow heavier.

Pedestrians on the street ran to avoid the rain.

Li Xingyu hung up the phone and was stunned by the heavy rain.

By now, it was rush hour again, and it was almost impossible to get a taxi.

Ji Wen walked up to him and said, "I'm going to drive." Then he walked towards the parking place.

This time Li Xingyu did not reject Ji Wen again.

When he got in the car, he was drenched in a little rain. When he got in the car, he felt the cold air irritating his nasal cavity, and couldn't help but sneezed again.

Ji Wen reached out to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner.

Li Xingyu rubbed his nose and said, "Thank you."

In fact, Ji Wen has also changed. The 23-year-old young man this year does not know if he is particularly mature because he came out early to fight for his livelihood.He took advantage of Li Xingyu's phone call just now to wash his hands. After washing off the oil on his hands, his hands looked extraordinarily rough, and there were many scars on them.

The overalls he was wearing were short-sleeved, his exposed arms were strong and his skin was a healthy wheat color.

Ji Wen asked Li Xingyu: "Are you a lawyer?" His tone was obviously a little surprised.

Li Xingyu responded, "Yes."

Ji Wen said, "I thought you were going to take the civil service exam."

This time Li Xingyu answered him: "Originally so."

There was a brief silence between the two of them.

It was raining heavily outside, and the wipers had to be turned on all the time to sweep away the rainwater from the window glass and see the road ahead clearly.

Many cars on the road were driving with double flashing lights, and slowed down because their vision was affected.

Ji Wen suddenly recalled a time when it was raining heavily, he and Li Xingyu sat in the 711 to eat. At that time, he thought that it would be great if he had a car.

Now he has a car, and more than one, but he feels that he can't get back the mood he was in then.

Since Li Xingyu didn't speak, Ji Wen simply turned on the radio.On the radio, two presenters, a man and a woman, were chatting loudly about the weather in the city and today's dinner.

The road ahead was blocked, Ji Wen stopped the car and waited.

Li Xingyu propped his head on one hand and looked out of the car window. He saw a person wearing a bright yellow coat walking in the heavy rain on the side of the road in the distance. Although he was holding an umbrella, his clothes were obviously wet from the heavy rain.

He felt as if he saw his old self.

Ji Wen asked him suddenly: "I don't know how long this traffic jam will last, is it okay?"

Li Xingyu looked at the time and said, "It's okay." He couldn't be faster anyway.

On the radio, a man and a woman finished chatting about the road conditions, the weather, and today's dinner, and now they started talking about their first love.

The woman said that her first love was in junior high school, and she liked the male god in her grade, and the male god was also very ambiguous to her, so it could be considered that they had a crush on each other.After graduating from junior high school, she never saw each other again. A few days ago, her middle school classmates held a class reunion. When she saw her first love, she found that she was fat and bald.

The male host laughed, "Are you disappointed?"

"A little bit, I just thought it would be better not to see each other, and keep the good memories of the past forever."

There is some fog in the car.

Li Xingyu stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the car window.

Ji Wen's hands holding the steering wheel tightened, and then let go. He actually had a lot to say to Li Xingyu, but Li Xingyu obviously didn't have the desire to talk.And Ji Wen was also a little uneasy, he wasn't sure if he should say something to Li Xingyu.

After being stuck on the road for nearly an hour, Ji Wen sent Li Xingyu to the office building where the law firm was located.

When Li Xingyu got out of the car with the briefcase, he said to Ji Wen again: "Thank you."

Ji Wen looked at him, a gentle smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "You're welcome."

Li Xingyu closed the car door, turned around and ran into the building.

Ji Wen's smile subsided immediately, and he sat quietly in the car for more than ten seconds before turning around and leaving.

When I went back, the car repair shop was closed, and there was still a small door left on the rolling shutter door. Ji Wen went in and saw that the accountant in front of the counter was cleaning up today's accounts.

Chen Yang was still there, and asked Ji Wen, "How is it?"

Ji Wen said, "It's very congested."

Then go back and change clothes first.

In the evening, I went to have two drinks with Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was the only person Ji Wen had ever told about his past with Li Xingyu.

At that time, starting a business was very difficult, and Ji Wen was not afraid of suffering, but he couldn't help but want to confide in the most difficult and tiring time.

Once, after drinking with Chen Yang, Chen Yang asked him why he didn't see him contacting Li Xingyu again.

At that time, Ji Wen took a sip of wine and told Chen Yang that his relationship with Li Xingyu was not that simple.

To be honest, Chen Yang was a little surprised, but not that surprised.

Ji Wen remembered what he said at the time: "I see you are quite honest, I didn't expect to be so bold."

Chen Yang has a rather special personality. He doesn't like to meddle in other people's business. He is much older than Ji Wen next year. Generally speaking, when encountering such a thing, he should advise Ji Wen not to go the wrong way, but Chen Yang felt that it didn't matter.

"Everyone can live the life they want. Whether they want to get married, whether they want to have children, whether they want to marry the same sex or the opposite sex is their own business. Who stipulates that everyone in the world should live the same life?"

So regarding the matter of Ji Wen and Li Xingyu, Chen Yang only expressed his surprise, and did not make any other comments.

Let's drink together tonight.

Chen Yang said to Ji Wen: "I see that you have something to say to him, but he doesn't want to listen to you, so he created an opportunity for you."

Ji Wen held a beer bottle in his hand, smiled and said nothing.

Chen Yang became a little curious, "How did you plan?"

Ji Wen seemed to sigh, and said, "I don't know either."

He really doesn't know.

He was the one who took the initiative to leave Li Xingyu back then, and the process was very torturous. He couldn't fall asleep for several nights, and sat alone on the bed in the dormitory.

But that was not his impulse, but a decision after careful consideration. He knew that he could not afford the relationship between the two of them, and Li Xingyu's over-dependence on him even made this burden even heavier.

For him, breaking up means completely separating, not breaking up.It's just that he didn't say breakup to Li Xingyu, because they didn't say they were together either.

Everything is naturally accompanied by the development of feelings.

Regarding Li Xingyu's feelings, Ji Wen ran away twice. The first time Li Xingyu chased him at his house, he compromised, and the second time he saw Li Xingyu chased him to his school, but he knew he could no longer compromise. If the problems between them are not resolved, there will always be outbreaks in the future.

Or maybe 16 years old is an immature age, as Yan Suling once told him, it depends on his physiology rather than his psychology.

In fact, if Ji Wen had met Li Xingyu at the age of 19, maybe the ending would have been different. Ji Wen had graduated from a technical school before he was 19 and entered a 4S shop to work. Go and persuade Chen Yang to come out to help him, use the money he saved from part-time jobs while studying, start by reselling auto parts, lucky enough to make a lot of money, and then start to prepare his own car repair shop.

Those days were very hard, but Ji Wen at least felt that he had hope, not that he was at a loss for the future.He also believed that he did have the ability to protect Li Xingyu under his wings and grow up.

But the 17-year-old couldn't believe himself.

When the development of the car repair shop was booming, Chen Yang once asked him if he planned to find Li Xingyu.

Ji Wen shook his head, he didn't know what his position was.

Just like today, what he wanted to ask the most was Li Xingyu's relationship status.

It has been seven years, if Li Xingyu has a lover or a family, Ji Wen feels that he should bless him.But what if not?
