Retreat

Hong Minhang has not been back to Li Tang's home for more than five years.

When walking into the narrow and dark corridor, Hong Minhang felt a little dazed for a moment, as if it was what he remembered, but it didn't seem to be.

Li Tang opened the door and lightly turned on the switch on the wall. The old fluorescent tube suddenly emitted a soft light, which made Hong Minhang squint his eyes.

Li Tang threw the key on the coffee table in the living room, and said to Hong Minhang, "Sit down."

Hong Minhang walked into the room and looked around. Except for the laptop on the dining table, the other furniture seemed to be the same as it was five years ago.

Li Tang went under the TV cabinet to find the gauze and potion, then returned to the sofa, and said to Hong Minhang, "Take off your clothes."

Hong Minhang raised his hand, took off his coat, and tried to roll up the sleeves of his shirt, but felt that it was still inconvenient, so he also unbuttoned his shirt and took off a sleeve.

Li Tang looked at Hong Minhang's exposed shoulders and arms, and suddenly patted him with some emotion, "Five years have passed in a blink of an eye." Hong Minhang used to wear baggy boxer shorts, with thin arms and legs , I can't see it again in the future, and now in front of Li Tang is a slender young man, covered with a layer of well-proportioned and strong muscles.

The wound on his arm was not deep, and there was no glass slag left. Li Tang applied some medicine on him, then wrapped it with gauze and it was over.

Then, Li Tang told him: "Don't take a bath today, just wipe it off with hot water." After speaking, Li Tang cleaned up the things on the table, and said: "Take a break and I'll take you back."

Hong Minhang thought for a while and said, "Okay."

He stood up and walked to the bathroom.While standing in front of the sink washing his hands, Hong Minhang saw the soap box next to him. He couldn't help picking it up and looking at it. Then he opened the small wooden cabinet next to the mirror and saw his old water glass. The ones brought by Xiangzhu Street were not taken away from Li Tang's place.

Li Tang didn't throw it away for him, but put it in the cabinet all the time.

Hong Minhang had already planned to leave, but changed his mind at this time.He came out of the bathroom, opened the refrigerator in Li Tang's dining room, and asked, "Is there anything to eat?"

Li Tang is a person who can cook by himself. Although he hasn't eaten at home recently, there are always some eggs and vegetables.

"Hungry?" Li Tang asked him.

Recalling that the two of them went to see Hong Xiangfeng, they never had time to eat anything. Now that Hong Minhang said, Li Tang himself felt hungry, so he said, "Let me cook you a bowl of noodles, tomatoes and eggs, okay?"

Hong Minhang said, "Of course."

Li Tang took a tomato and two eggs into the kitchen, and Hong Minhang also followed, saying that he would help him.

Li Tang glanced at him, "Can you?"

Hong Minhang rolled up his sleeves, "A person in a foreign country, if he thinks hard, he will make something for himself, although the taste is not very good."

Li Tang gave him the eggs, "Then break the eggs." Then he turned on the stove to boil water.

When Li Tang was cooking noodles, Hong Minhang leaned against the door and looked at his back. It was amazing. After so many years, Li Tang’s back seemed to have not changed at all. Time inadvertently overlapped with the past. People forget that Hong Minhang, who was hungry, was standing at the kitchen door waiting for Li Tang to cook for him, and he saw this back.

Perhaps some memories are deeply rooted in my heart, and no matter how time goes by, they cannot be changed.

After eating, Li Tang sent Hong Minhang home.

After all, he wasn't the kid in the past, so Hong Minhang had no excuse to stay with Li Tang for the night.

Li Tang drove Hong Minhang all the way back to Hong's house.After stopping the car on the lawn in front of the house, Li Tang and Hong Minhang saw that the light in the living room was on.If Sister Hua was the only one at home, she would watch TV in her room instead of staying in the living room.So there is only one possibility at this time, and that is that Hong Xiangfeng is back.

Hong Minhang glanced at Li Tang, "Go back first."

Li Tang shook his head, "I'll go in with you."

As expected, Hong Xiangfeng had already returned. At this time, he probably hadn't drunk half of the wine, so he must have been affected by Li Tang.

Hong Minhang and Li Tang entered the door one after the other. Hong Xiangfeng sat on the sofa and looked up at them, and said, "Li Tang, come here."

Li Tang walked over, and Hong Xiangfeng motioned him to sit down on the sofa next to him.

Naturally, Hong Minhang would not go upstairs alone, but stood behind the sofa where Li Tang was sitting.

Hong Xiangfeng moved his hand suddenly, Hong Minhang was startled, thought he was going to hit Li Tang, and almost tried to stop him, but he didn't expect that he just hammered Li Tang's shoulder, and then cursed: "You bastard who doesn't know how to live or die .”

Hong Minhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Tang said: "Godfather."

Hong Xiangfeng pointed at him: "I see that your head was smashed today?"

Li Tang bowed his back, propped his elbows on his knees, clasped his hands together, and shook his head, "I'm sorry godfather, I spoiled your interest."

Hong Xiangfeng took out a cigarette and motioned Li Tang to light it for him.

Li Tang reached out to touch the lighter, and then leaned over to help Hong Xiangfeng light the cigarette.

Standing behind him, Hong Minhang watched Li Tang approach Hong Xiangfeng coldly, and then Hong Xiangfeng nodded to Li Tang.

Hong Xiangfeng said: "Okay, tell me, what are you thinking about today, I've never seen you so unreasonable."

Li Tang was silent for a while, and said: "It's nothing, just seeing Yue Min's mother is very pitiful."

"How pitiful is it?" Hong Xiangfeng asked, "You've been with me for so long, don't tell me you haven't seen anything more pitiful, what did you do? That woman stabbed your godfather with a knife, and if you go a little further Godfather may be dead, you feel sorry for her."

Li Tang didn't speak.

Hong Minhang said suddenly: "Father, I also saw that woman. She is very pitiful, and she is also very sincere. I really want to apologize to you."

"Shut up!" Hong Xiangfeng pointed at Hong Minhang, "I thought you've improved after going out for so many years, why are you still the same as before!"

Li Tang looked up at Hong Minhang, shook his head at him, then reached out and pulled him to sit beside him.

Hong Xiangfeng took a deep puff of cigarette and said, "Li Tang, I think your heart is not with me, kid?"

Li Tang quickly said: "Godfather, how come?"

Hong Xiangfeng said: "I watched you grow up, and I couldn't tell what you were thinking? Ever since Min Hang came back, you have been absent-minded to Di Hong and family affairs. What are you thinking?"

Li Tang shook his head, "Godfather, it's really nothing."

Hong Xiangfeng flicked the soot, "Li Tang, do you think that Min Hang is back, and Di Hong will belong to Min Hang in the future, and our Hong family didn't give you anything, so I'm sorry?"

Li Tang said: "How could it be? Godfather, you misunderstood, I never thought about it that way."

Hong Xiangfeng looked at Hong Minhang, "What do you think, every day your brother-in-law stays with you, picks you up to and from get off work, and eats with you, but he almost sleeps without guarding you. Don't you think there's something wrong with him?"

Hong Minhang shook his head, "I don't think it's any different from the past."

Hong Xiangfeng seemed a little irritable. After smoking one cigarette, he took out a second one.

Li Tang stopped him, "Godfather, less smoke."

Hong Xiangfeng snorted suddenly, and said, "Look, I smoke and drink, and even my own son and brother never persuade me, but your godson always bothers me, what do you tell me?"

Hong Minhang said, "He's doing it for your own good."

Hong Xiangfeng said: "Of course I know that he is doing it for my own good! You are good to your godfather, and godfather will remember it. After Di Hong, it will belong to Min Hang, and it will also belong to you. You are brothers. Although you are not relatives, you have been together since childhood." When you grow up, you are closer than many brothers. Now that you help him take care of Di Hong, if you have money in the future, you will not earn money together. Are you afraid that he will lose money to you?"

Li Tang shook his head, "Godfather, I really didn't mean that."

Hong Xiangfeng suddenly patted the coffee table hard, "Then what are you thinking?"

Li Tang was suddenly stunned by his yelling, because Hong Xiangfeng asked him what he was thinking. He had been with Hong Xiangfeng for so long, and it seemed that he had never heard the other party ask him what he was thinking. Just do what.

Although he repeatedly denied it, Li Tang had to admit in his heart that since Hong Minhang came back, he had been a little slack. It wasn't that Hong Xiangfeng said he was worried about Di Hong's money, but he felt that his task had been handed over. Relax and worry less.

Rather than talking about his feelings for Di Hong, Li Tang actually had feelings for Hong Xiangfeng and his son.

He had too few needs and enough money, and when he was nearly 30 years old, he suddenly wanted to live freely for himself.

Hong Xiangfeng didn't know what Li Tang was thinking, even Hong Minhang didn't know.

Li Tang was silent for a while, still didn't know what to say, and finally said: "If the godfather thinks that Yue Min's matter is inappropriate, I won't mention it in the future."

Hong Xiangfeng said: "It's not that it's inappropriate, it's that it's very inappropriate! Today, you've wiped away all the godfather's face!"

Li Tang said: "I'm sorry."

Hong Xiangfeng said: "What's the use of saying sorry now! I'm so old, the more I live, the more I go back!"

Li Tang silently nodded.

Hong Xiangfeng waved his hand, "It's getting late, don't go back, just sleep here. Go to the company with me tomorrow morning, and I have something to do for you."

Li Tang had no choice but to respond: "Okay."

Hong Xiangfeng went upstairs first.

Hong Minhang stood up and greeted Li Tang: "Brother Li, go up and rest."

Li Tang nodded and stood up.

Hong Minhang took Li Tang to the guest room. At this time, Sister Hua should have fallen asleep. Hong Minhang helped him find the toothbrush and towel he used last time, and then said, "I don't have pajamas, so wear mine."

"No need," Li Tang said, "It's okay for just one night, I'm not used to sleeping with clothes on."

Hong Minhang responded, "Okay, then go take a shower first."

Li Tang said: "Okay, it's getting late, you should go to rest too."

Hong Minhang said, "Wait."

"Huh?" Li Tang looked at him.

Hong Minhang smiled, and suddenly leaned over and kissed Li Tang on the forehead.

Li Tang was stunned at first, then raised his hand to touch his forehead, and said with a puzzled smile: "Are you trying to comfort me? Did you learn it from a foreigner?"

Hong Minhang said: "Kiss between relatives is like this."

Li Tang said: "Then I'm really not used to it. Since I can remember, even my mother has never kissed me again."

Hong Minhang said: "Different kisses represent different meanings, and sometimes they can express things that words cannot express."

Li Tang still couldn't help but raised his hand to touch his forehead, where it was hot and hot, he said: "I have received your comfort, thank you."

Hong Minhang said: "Good night, have a good rest."

Li Tang nodded, "Good night."

After Hong Minhang went out, Li Tang walked into the bathroom. Looking at himself in the mirror, he always recalled the warm and soft touch of his forehead, so he could only turn on the tap and pour a lot of cold water on his face.

Lying on the bed after taking a shower, Li Tang turned on his mobile phone and saw a text message from Bai Xiaoqi, she said that she found a very delicious Chinese restaurant and wanted Li Tang to eat with her tomorrow.

After dating Bai Xiaoqi for so long, Li Tang suddenly felt that he should spend more time with her. If he is really the right person, then don't miss it.

So Li Tang replied a text message, saying: "Okay, I'll pick you up after get off work."
