Accidental Hide and Seek

We used to have common vows and dreams, but we were shy of the shackles of secular ethics. Our life path became more and more deviated, and finally we went against the opposite direction at a turning point. You are still you and I am still me, but I chose a different path. The direction continues our life, so this life is doomed to parting.

◇

Fan Weichen and Lin Xiyang began to feel uneasy in the second year after their marriage. It may be because the two were too low-key, so the magazines and tabloids were too curious, and news about the two was flying all over the sky.

In fact, such gossip is not uncommon in the entertainment industry, but it is more mysterious when Fan Dashao is involved, because the relationship between him and Lin Xiyang is really wonderful. So far, few people know about their relationship. Where did it start? Ever since, the media began to talk more and more nonsense, and the more they said, the more outrageous. In the end, Fan was one step closer to being a "legend".

Turning off the radio he was listening to, Shao Shiting breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of the red light at the intersection, pinching the bridge of his nose tiredly, with mixed feelings in his heart, he couldn't tell what he was feeling for a while.

He is a selfish and cunning person. At first he knew that people like Lin Xiyang could not stand being provoked, but he was attracted by him and took him into his arms.

This kind of life will not last long, he knew it very early on, but every time he saw that person's happy appearance, he couldn't bear to break it, this entanglement lasted for eight years, and finally due to his "negligence", this relationship ended It's not a perfect ending, and I don't know whether this ending is lucky or unfortunate.

Like everyone else, Shao Shiting couldn't help being surprised when he learned of Fan Weichen's true identity, but after calming down, more worries and fears replaced that surprise. He knew how complicated the world of the rich is, so he was even more Lin Xiyang was worried, saying that he had bad intentions and that everything was fine, but he was really worried.

In a blink of an eye, the red light flashed to green, and Shao Shiting stepped on the accelerator to continue on. After driving for a while, the sky suddenly began to rain heavily. He looked at his watch, and it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon.

His wife had a catwalk event, and took his daughter to Milan, and he himself was busy with the business of the company. It is normal for the family to live in two places like this. Both the husband and wife are not dissatisfied with the way of life, but occasionally, Shao Shiting feels that something is missing from this kind of life...

Because he was busy, Shao Shiting didn't bother to eat lunch. Now that he was free and it was raining heavily, he took the opportunity to drive to a nearby restaurant, wanting to eat something to satisfy his hunger.

The location of this restaurant is quite hidden, but because of the heavy rain, many passers-by took refuge in the rain to dine, and naturally it became crowded. When Shao Shiting entered the restaurant, he was told that there were no vacancies.

Looking at the full seats, Shao Shiting frowned, and then asked the waiter if there was any take-out service. The waiter didn't dare to decide, so he called the supervisor to explain to Shao Shiting.

Seeing Shao Shiting's good looks and boldness in his conversation, the supervisor felt that he was not someone to be messed with.So they spoke kindly to each other, while repeatedly apologizing to Shao Shiting, the supervisor also tried his best to let someone out.

Helpless, the restaurant was really full of people, and it was raining heavily outside. It seemed that no customers would leave in a short time. Finally, the supervisor thought of a trick, and after obtaining Shao Shiting's consent, he decided to find a shared table for him.

After looking around, the supervisor finally targeted the guests sitting on the sofa by the window of the restaurant. The reason is very simple, there are four seats, but now there are only a pair of father and son sitting.

The supervisor personally came forward to say hello, and the father was very talkative, so he quickly agreed, and after a while, Shao Shiting was invited to that position.

It turned out that the matter was very simple, Shao Shiting just wanted to borrow a place, have a meal, finish eating quickly, and leave quickly, but when the waiter brought him to the table, all the original plans became meaningless.

There are various meals and two drinks on one side of the long dining table. The father and his son sit on the same side, deliberately giving up the other side to Shao Shiting. The child is obediently eating the pasta in front of him, with big eyes occasionally He glanced at Shao Shiting, and that father...

"...Xiyang?"

Shouting this name with difficulty, Shao Shiting could hardly believe his eyes, but the man in front of him wearing black-rimmed glasses, with deep facial features and amber eyes, was not Lin Xiyang, who else could it be!

The moment Lin Xiyang looked up and saw Shao Shiting, Lin Xiyang was also extremely surprised. Logically speaking, the city is so big that it is impossible for the two of them to meet together. Who would have thought that they would meet just like that when they took their children out to eat occasionally.

"You...why..." Shao Shiting couldn't even finish his sentence because he was too excited.

At this moment, the waiter at the side suddenly came to hand over the menu, which made Shao Shiting wake up like a dream. He restrained his emotions, took the menu and sat opposite Lin Xiyang. Facing him, Lin Xiyang was obviously calmer than before many.

In a blink of an eye, it has been two years since the two separated. Although he doesn't know how Shao Shiting is doing, Lin Xiyang is very satisfied with his current life.The lover is considerate, the child is cute, the job is stable, and the ordinary life is full and happy. Facing Shao Shiting again, he no longer has the first time's jealousy and resentment.

After ordering simple coffee and sandwiches, Shao Shiting returned the menu to the waiter. After clearing his mind, he looked straight at Lin Xiyang and said, "Long time no see..."

This sentence may be the best opening statement for the two of them now. Lin Xiyang nodded slightly after hearing the words, and Shao Shiting was obviously relieved when he got the response. He thought that he would never have the opportunity to talk quietly with Lin Xiyang in this life.

"You...how are you doing recently?" Shao Shiting tried to ask in a familiar tone, but after such a long time, it was inevitable that there was some gossip.

"Fortunately, that's it." Lin Xiyang said in a normal tone.

fine?How good is it?How about that?Are you used to living in Fan's house?Have you ever been embarrassed?And what are those rumors...

There are a lot of questions that I want to ask, but I can't start if I want to ask them. Shao Shiting is a little embarrassed. At this moment, he saw a small hand on Lin Xiyang's right arm, and followed the small hand to see another shocking reality. placed in front of his eyes.

"Daddy."

When his son was calling him, Lin Xiyang turned his head as a matter of course, and seeing the kitten looking at him with a funny and cute expression on his face, he couldn't help laughing.

As if knowing that he was being treated as a laughing stock, Kitty Maomao puffed up his cheeks in a playful way to show his anger, but in the eyes of adults, this appearance was just more of a joke.

Lin Xiyang stopped in moderation, and started to introduce to the child when he had laughed enough, "Ahem, kitten, this is someone Daddy knew before, called Uncle."

"Oh." Kitty Maomao's expression instantly changed to "So that's it" again, and then obediently looked at Shao Shiting and said hello, "Hello, Uncle."

The child remembers the joys but not the sorrows. Daddy lives with his father and him now. The person who was with Daddy before has long been forgotten by him.

And Shao Shiting was in disbelief when he saw the kitten, but he was not to blame, as long as he knew Lin Xiyang before, he would react like this after seeing the kitten, because they were so similar!

"This is……"

Lin Xiyang replied with a slight smile, "My son, Fan Lin."

The name Shao Shiting is no stranger to him. The only son of the crown prince of the Fan family and the future heir of Fanyu has been reported by many media, but there are not many photos that can really see his appearance. In my impression, he is a boy with big eyes. , but unexpectedly seeing it now, it is actually a replica of the miniature Lin Xiyang, what's going on! ?

"he……"

"He is my son." Lin Xiyang interrupted him, not intending to explain anything.

Knowing his personality, Shao Shiting's questions about the child could only stop here, but he couldn't help but look at the child a few more times because of his curiosity.

The kitten clings to Daddy's side very affectionately, eating from the bowl and not forgetting to glance at the delicacies on other plates.Lin Xiyang was eating beside him, but his heart was all on his son, and he wiped his mouth and divided the meals for him. He looked like a loving father, which Shao Shiting had never seen before.

After a while, the coffee and sandwiches were on the table, Shao Shiting had to look away, and when he was about to eat, suddenly Lin Xiyang's hand with the prosthetic limb just fell into his eyes.

This made him lose his appetite immediately, not because he felt nauseated, but because he couldn't let go of the deep self-blame and guilt.Back then, he left Lin Xiyang to go abroad in accordance with the company's orders. He admitted that he flinched, but he didn't expect that such a departure would ruin Lin Xiyang's years of hard work by mistake.

"The left hand...does it still hurt?"

Lin Xiyang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect him to ask this question. Instead, he looked at the prosthetic limb in his left hand, his eyes showed a hint of relief, "At first, there was some pain in the phantom limb, but now it's much better."

At the time of the accident, Lin Xiyang was depressed and complained all day long, and the psychological pressure was so great that the amputation wound was always painful. But after meeting Fan Weichen and Xiaomaomao, everything changed.

Seeing that the expression on his face was not embarrassing, Shao Shiting secretly heaved a sigh of relief, "Then...he, is he treating you well?"

"he?"

"Mr. Fan..."

Seeing Shao Shiting seriously addressing Fan Weichen as Mr. Fan, Lin Xiyang couldn't help but want to laugh. The one in the family couldn't get along with "Mr." at all, and sometimes he was worse than a child when playing a rogue.

"Cough." Stopping his thoughts in time, Lin Xiyang coughed lightly and returned to the topic, and thought for a while to answer, "He treats me...very good."

Not only is it good, it's simply too good.There is no need to support the family, no need to worry about family affairs, and no need to worry about entertainment. As long as Lin Xiyang wishes, Fan is willing to support him for the rest of his life unconditionally.

But Lin Xiyang is not the one who likes to show off, he prefers to feel Fan Weichen's love from his life rather than these nice words.

Seeing Lin Xiyang's satisfied expression, some words came to his lips, but Shao Shiting couldn't speak. He originally wanted to say that the Fan family was not ordinary, and hoped that he would be careful, but now he couldn't say anything.

"I have something... I've always wanted to tell you..."

"Huh?" Lin Xiyang looked nervous when he saw his fists clenched.

Shao Shiting couldn't relax, he took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and didn't even dare to look at Lin Xiyang, "...I'm sorry."

"...?"

"What happened two years ago... I'm really sorry."

I thought about it more than once, if I could think about Lin Xiyang for two years, maybe everything would not be so bad!

"I hurt you..."

Listening to his words, Lin Xiyang was startled, then looked at his left hand, his mood became very complicated.

The room between the two suddenly became silent, or rather, they didn't know how to continue...

Kitty Maomao doesn’t understand the affairs of adults. It’s boring for him not to interrupt, so he tilted his head and looked out of the window. The rain outside is getting heavier and bigger, puddles of different sizes have accumulated on the ground, and there are few pedestrians on the road. , Only vehicles occasionally pass by, which is extremely boring.

Seeing nothing interesting, Kitty Maomao couldn't help curling his lips and feeling a little disappointed. Suddenly a familiar car entered his field of vision, which made him shout: "Daddy is here!"

"...!" The sound made the two adults raise their heads at the same time.

But the difference is that Shao Shiting was a little panicked, while Lin Xiyang looked like he had just woken up from a dream.

Just when the two of them came back to their senses, the car outside the door had already parked, and the people who got out of the car ran towards the restaurant holding an umbrella. After a while, the wind chimes hanging on the restaurant door rang, and they rushed to the restaurant. Looking around, what Shao Shiting saw was an ordinary young man.

A little familiar, but it seems a little bit wrong.

Shao Shiting vaguely remembered the scene when the crown prince of the Fan family took Lin Xiyang back. At that time, he saw a handsome and capable man with extraordinary appearance, but now the young man in front of him...wearing simple casual clothes, with a smile on his face, It's just like a childlike innocence!

Are they the same person?

Shao Shiting had questions, but Kitty Maomao quickly answered him with practical actions.The child is always the most familiar with his father. He ran out of his seat excitedly, waved towards the door and shouted: "Dad, here, here."

Seeing the figure of his son, Fan Weichen smiled and put the umbrella on the umbrella stand in the store, and stepped forward to hug his son in two or three steps.

The kitten, who was hugged by his father, giggled non-stop, with his little arms around his father's neck, very intimate.

"Baby, are you full?" Fan Weichen asked while stroking his son's belly, and then teased, "Ah, your belly protrudes from eating?"

Kitty Maomao laughed and said, "No, Dad is talking nonsense."

Fan Weichen also laughed, patted the child's little butt, and began to look around, "Where's Daddy?"

"over there."

As the child pointed out, Fan Weichen quickly discovered where they were. Of course, Shao Shiting also inevitably entered his field of vision.

"Oh……"

Holding the child and walking to the table, Fan Weichen's mood didn't fluctuate much, but he restrained his smile and stood beside Lin Xiyang, staring straight at Shao Shiting.

Just when Shao Shiting thought he was unhappy and was about to explain his meeting with Lin Xiyang, Fan Weichen smirked and asked Lin Xiyang, "Honey, did I come early? Or did I come late?"

The angry and funny tone made people laugh, and Lin Xiyang laughed and replied: "Don't talk nonsense, it's just a coincidence."

After confirming that it was Fan Weichen, Shao Shiting immediately explained: "Mr. Fan, please don't misunderstand, it's really a coincidence, we..."

"Well, I didn't misunderstand, please don't misunderstand either." Fan Weichen said to Shao Shiting.

Lin Xiyang was not a volatile and disconnected person. Fan Weichen was not worried at all, but had some scruples.

Then he turned his head and asked Lin Xiyang, "Are you really all right? Are you unhappy?"

Coincidence is one thing, but wife's unhappiness is another. Lin Xiyang has clear preferences, and the memories Shao Shiting left for him before can't be said to be good, so Fan Weichen is worried whether he is holding his breath and insisting on staying here because he thinks about his son. .

Understanding his little thoughts, Lin Xiyang smiled lightly and shook his head, "I'm fine."

After making sure that he didn't force himself, Fan Weichen felt relieved, leaned down and kissed Lin Xiyang's cheek naturally, and said softly: "Then you continue talking, I'll take Kitty to play there first, so I won't disturb you. "

After speaking, he carried the child to another corner of the restaurant, where there was a special area for children to play, and many children had already gathered there.

Watching him walk away, Shao Shiting realized that his perception of the young master of the Fan family was somewhat "biased".

As if to see through his thoughts, Lin Xiyang looked in the direction of the father and son and smiled and said, "Is it different from what I imagined?"

"Ah? Hmm... a bit unexpected." Shao Shiting also looked at Fan Weichen who was concentrating on playing with his children. He was also a father. To be honest, he didn't have the patience and time to play with his daughter, nor did his wife.

Lin Xiyang smiled deeper when he heard this, "I'm not suitable for you."

"...!"

"Because you are not the one who puts family and love first, you have to be competitive and full of ambitions, so it is impossible for us to make it to the end."

This speech left Shao Shiting speechless.

But Lin Xiyang didn't end, and continued: "Maybe the outside world played up the matter between me and Ah Chen very strangely, but to tell you the truth, my real acquaintance with him was after the car accident."

At that time, he really thought that everything was over, but he didn't expect that this was just a turning point, after which was the beginning of another life.

"Just now you said that you harmed me, but to be honest, the result today is beyond the description of the word 'harm'...you know it's a blessing if you lose your horse!"

Shao Shiting pondered his words, but remained silent.After he thought it over, he looked at Lin Xiyang with unspeakable regret in his eyes.

"us……"

◇

When Fan Weichen came back with the kitten, only Lin Xiyang was sitting on the seat, and Shao Shiting had disappeared.

Just about to ask something, Lin Xiyang said first: "He is very busy and has no time to waste time on meals."

It turned out to be the case.

Fan Weichen shrugged, put the child next to Lin Xiyang, and sat on the opposite seat, and began to process the leftover food from those children.

"Would you like some more?" Lin Xiyang asked thoughtfully.

Fan Weichen shook his head, "That's enough, I'm planning to go home and make dinner."

Lin Xiyang laughed when he heard the words, this is the little man of his family, maybe not as capable and experienced as Shao Shiting, but he is a very good man who takes care of the family.He has the patience to take care of children, pays attention to the small details in life, can make people happy, makes people laugh, and is willing to change his pace for the sake of his family, which is beyond Shao Shiting's reach.

"Just now I told Shao Shiting..."

"What did you say?"

If Lin Xiyang hadn't mentioned it himself, Fan Weichen would not have taken the initiative to ask, that would have made him seem very narrow-minded... well, in fact, he was really narrow-minded.

"Goodbye." Lin Xiyang breathed a sigh of relief as he moved the drinking straw.

Seeing his relaxed appearance, Fan Weichen nodded, "It's good from beginning to end."

"Do you mind what I said to him?" Lin Xiyang asked teasingly, raising his eyebrows.

At this point, Fan Weichen suddenly raised his head, with an expression of "I want to know".

I knew he would be like this, but...

Lin Xiyang smiled, "That's a secret."

"Huh!? My dear, you are stupid!"

"I want to know and guess for myself..."

"No! I can't guess!"

"Ha ha……"

◇

Shao Shiting drove to the company, feeling relieved, but the short encounter changed many things and many thoughts.

"We have good memories. Even if we are destined not to make it to the end, I still have no regrets...Xiyang, I wish you happiness, and...goodbye."

Goodbye, this is what should have been said a long time ago. Now that they have gone against the grain, they have all found their destination. The future can only be built by their own hands.

After a long sigh of relief, Shao Shiting looked out of the car again, only to see that the rain was gradually weakening and the sun was gradually appearing in the sky.

It's...it's going to clear up.

"Finish"
