Rebirth of the Uncrowned King

Four small dishes, a few bottles of beer, Xiao Ping and I were facing each other, eating dinner while watching TV, chatting casually and aimlessly.

I enjoy this kind of dinner very much. I don't have to say what I don't want to say, don't have to think about things that take my brains out, and even when I'm too lazy to speak, I don't feel embarrassed even if I eat on my own.

I also once asked Xiao Ping if he had any plans to get married.Let alone married, there was never any woman around him.Except for work and driving, he spends most of his free time with us. He has even pushed back on blind dates several times, so he has no time to fall in love.

"No hurry, no hurry." Every time he waved his hand and said with a smile.His expression was calm, as if he really wasn't worried at all.

However, he is not young anymore. Although he has always said that his family did not urge him, but according to social practice, for a man who is not married at this age, the neighbors and aunts have started to arrange for him. Some pressure.

"What about you, have you ever thought about finding someone else to live with?" Xiao Ping and I leaned on the chair and watched TV after we had finished drinking and eating, and Xiao Ping asked suddenly.

I was stunned for a while, then shook my head: "I have no such plan in the past year. Love is too far away and a heavy word for me. I think it's easier to live like this now."

He nodded, no more words.

Just like that, more than a year has passed.

During this year, I was promoted to a higher position because of my outstanding work performance; Xiao Ping gave up his job as a taxi driver and opened a small restaurant to start his own business; Cui Musheng got an offer from a famous foreign art school , will go abroad for further study.

And Wang Jiawen and Zhao Wei also held a small wedding ceremony. Although only Xiao Ping and I participated, I knew from the way they looked at each other that they were happy enough.

Life, in the silent passage of time, is constantly changing.

Occasionally, I still think of Ren Min, just in that mood, like missing my childhood, my school days, the games I played when I was young, and the songs of my favorite Little Tigers.

The pain that person once brought to me, together with the joy and sweetness he brought to me, like shock and surprise, have gradually become pictures that have gone through vicissitudes over time. Although the outlines are still there, but The color has gradually faded.

So, when I saw Ren Min sitting at the door of my small apartment, I was stunned for a few seconds before showing the most natural smile: "Hi, hello, long time no see."

The face in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar.Although the facial features are still the same, I can clearly feel that there is something missing between his eyebrows and something else is added.

He looked into my eyes fixedly, moved his lips for a long time, and finally called out: "Really, how are you?"

Xiao Ping behind me naturally also saw Ren Min, he patted my shoulder, turned around and went downstairs.I knew what he meant, he wanted to leave me some space to have a good chat with Ren Min.

Within half an hour of our conversation, I asked him a few questions, and we sat in the room, relatively silent.

Ren Min said that no matter in the previous life or the present life, the business of the Renchang Group is not in his hands.Although he is the general manager, it is his father who is really in charge of killing and killing.The implementation of the PX project was also a decision made by his father.

"My father, he devoted almost all his energy to this project, intending to make it his last work before retirement." Ren Min said: "So he mobilized a lot of resources, in order not to let anyone or anything affect this project. And your appearance is a big obstacle for him, when he investigated you, he discovered our past, so he ordered at that time that you must be eliminated."

According to him, in the previous life, it was impossible for him to compete with his father, so he would rather kill me with his own hands before committing suicide.And in this life, from the first day he came here, he began to plan and prepare to confront his father, and locked me up and imprisoned me several times to ensure my safety.

I believe everything he says.Now, Renchang Group has been acquired, and he can be said to have fallen from a high cloud. He no longer has any reason to lie to me.

I sent him downstairs, hugged and said goodbye, watching his back gradually shrink.

Xiao Ping came up and put his hand on my shoulder, as if to comfort me.I turned around and smiled at him.

"Are you okay?" he asked me.

"It's okay." I shook my head, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "This time, it's completely over."

Xiao Ping looked at me for a long time, then nodded slowly: "Yes."

At the end of this year, I took a week off and went to Anyang, and went back to the school where I went in the name of teaching support, but just to escape reality.

The teachers there still recognize me, and the children there are innocent and simple. During the five days there, I no longer felt any burden in my heart, and I finally felt truly relaxed and comfortable.

The night before I left, on December 31st, I was wearing a thick padded jacket and sat alone on the playground looking at the stars.

At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, sporadic firecrackers sounded all around.After all, here is still used to celebrate the Lunar New Year, so New Year's Day is not celebrated too grandly.

I didn't know what was wrong with me, but I suddenly became impulsive, took out my mobile phone and dialed Xiao Ping's number.

"Hey, Xiao Ping, come to pick me up in Anyang tomorrow, okay?" I asked him loudly.

If he agrees, if he can give me an affirmative reply, I am willing to fight for it again, maybe this time love will give me favor.

The sound of his breathing and the crackling of firecrackers came from the phone.I held my breath and waited quietly for his answer.

It seemed like a year had passed, and I finally heard his voice. There was only one simple word, but it made me feel extremely warm.

"it is good."

At this moment, I know that my past has come to an end, and my new life has just begun.
