Cheng Yi leaned against the bed rail, letting the man beside him hug him.Away from the company's troubles, the two stayed in the hut quietly embracing each other, but the distance was a little closer than usual.The weather has been getting colder recently, and a gust of cold wind blew in from the open window, and Han Chen coughed a few times.His chest hurt slightly from coughing, and he pressed his hands against his lower abdomen, but he hugged Cheng Yi's waist more forcefully.

Carefully putting together his clothes, Cheng Yi lightly patted Han Chen's back, seeing his haggard face, couldn't help frowning: "Chen..." But he didn't know where to start with the comforting words.

It is said that the army was defeated like a mountain, and the sudden changes in the past three months caught people off guard.First, Zoll, the partner in the United States, suddenly withdrew the funds, and when he learned that he was looking for Mingxuan to cooperate, both Han Chen and him had a bad feeling.It was too late to quickly raise all the funds at hand to stop all business activities that had been agreed upon at the beginning.With the raw materials in Zuoer's hands and Mingxuan's production input at the fastest speed, he used the same method as before to occupy the market share.Due to the huge disparity in funds, not only him, but many jewelry companies in City B suffered losses.

The market is changing rapidly, and there is no one to blame for anything that happens in legitimate competition.Feng Shui has taken turns, and now Han Chen has become the company with the most serious shortage of funds and supply problems.Liquidity is involved and there is no chance to transfer it out again.So what if you are not reconciled, the company couldn't bear the pressure and declared bankruptcy four days ago.

Three months ago, he was a young diamond king with billions of dollars, a rapidly rising upstart in the shopping mall; but now he is an embarrassing person who has sold all his property and real estate to pay off his debts.Lin's Jewelry Company was desolate when the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and now he has experienced it one by one.

Han Chen turned his eyes away, looked at the light rain in late autumn falling outside the window, and said lightly: "Ayi, tell me, is it true that the law is clear and the retribution is not good? I took away Lin Hao's company a year ago, and now I should suffer the consequences." .What is not mine is not mine after all, and if you try to take it away, it will be taken away by others in the same way."

At the beginning, I didn't have any special trust in Zoll, but a big problem for the jewelry company was that there was not much liquidity that could be mobilized.Huge benefits and thoughts on Mingxuan, as well as the mutual benefit and win-win cooperation between Zor and him.After finally investigating what happened at the Swiss banquet, Han Chen thought for a long time and decided to take a risk.Thousands of calculations, but in the end it was all in vain.

He hasn't studied for a few years, and he only relies on his intuition in business affairs.Cheng Yi had persuaded him to give up cooperating with Zuoer, but Han Chen did not listen to his advice due to various reasons.

"I will always be with you." Cheng Yi said softly, hugging his waist with his backhand.This is the first time he fell in love with someone, no matter whether Han Chen has nothing or not, he will never leave.The tradition in his bones does not allow him to treat everything that happened since that night as a joke.

Han Chen coughed a few more times, his health hasn't recovered for more than half a year.Ling Siyou introduced him to a bar and nightclub. He was in a bad mood and indulged in drinking and sensuality. He knew it was Tan Hunshui and jumped down.Now he is suffering from the fruit of his own life, exhausted physically and mentally, his liver and lungs are not good, and he often coughs in the middle of the night and cannot sleep all night.

"Ayi, I have nothing now, you will not have a good life if you follow me." Han Chen pulled his hand away from his waist, and said lightly, "I have done many wrong things, and I am most sorry for the one who was punished. The person I killed." He smiled self-deprecatingly, "Now I can't let him go from my heart. That person, obviously like a child, took care of me for three years. I only have those three years in my life There is a willful chance, and the longer you live, the harder it is to erase that memory—but he died. I am an unknown person, and no one will end well with me, do you understand?"

He has experienced joy, anger, sorrow and joy in half his life, and he has also experienced tragic things. He also wants to have a normal family.A person with low self-esteem is very miserable. If he can, he only wants to keep the best time, the person he likes.

Lin Hao's appearance is very ordinary, and he has nothing to do with radiant and handsome, and he has never looked inconspicuous.However, he was the only person who made him feel at ease in those years.

Cheng Yi's eyes were gloomy, and for a long time, he held his hand and held it tightly: "I never thought that I would end well in the future. I helped people launder money and set up black households. I used loopholes to let criminal drug dealers get away with it a few times. , I don’t have any professional ethics that a lawyer should have. People like me are not good people.”

Han Chen turned to look at him: "You don't care about anything? Even if I might not like you from now on?"

"There is no difference between caring and not caring." Cheng Yi heard him cough again, got up and closed the window, "It's cold, I want to find someone to spend the winter with me." If you like it, how can you not care, but at this moment, There is always someone who has to brace himself up, "Although this house is small, it will allow us to survive the winter. I have a job now, save some money, and the monthly income is enough for us to live on."

Thinking of Han Chen's poor health, there will be no chance of making a comeback in the future.For such a proud person like him, I'm afraid it will hurt even more.Cheng Yi's hand slowly covered his eyes, wiping away the moisture from the corners of the man's eyes.I have been with him for many days and nights, and now I know that Han Chen, who is the toughest and most tenacious, will cry sometimes.

However, this person, even if everyone in the world dislikes him, is the person he cares about the most.

Abandoning blood and family ties, even if everyone in the family opposes him, he will not look back.It was they who gave him the most traditional concept, which made him miss his first man so much that he couldn't let go of it.

Even if he has nothing.

Turning around and hugging Han Chen, Cheng Yi said softly, "I'll be with you from now on, we'll make money to see a doctor together, I'll cook for you, buy a small yard to grow some flowers and plants, okay?"

Han Chen's cough has already become Cheng Yi's heart disease. The money they accumulated before was used to fill the company's shortfall, and the money for going to the doctor had to be re-earned.Cheng Yi put his arms around his waist: "Let's start from the beginning. There is no obstacle that we can't overcome. Everyone has done wrong things. Now we have nothing. We have already paid back whatever we owed. Don't worry too much about it."

Leaning against the bed, Han Chen nodded very slowly.Everything in the past has become the past, and now he can live well.Just live till you die.That irreparable mistake hollowed out his body, and he himself pushed everything into the abyss.

It's just that Cheng Yi suffers.Han Chen stroked the hair of the people around him, he didn't understand that someone like him would be liked, and he was willing to follow him even if he had nothing.

One day in the sky, one year in the ground.For him, living may be a punishment.

... The airport in City B is crowded with people.Near the check-in area, a blond foreign man wearing sunglasses was holding a suitcase in his hand and looking towards the entrance.Three days ago, he received news from his father who was far away in the United States asking him to go back. After staying in China for nearly three months, Zor told Zixuan about today's flight.

Ling Siyou drove the car slowly, and calculated that there was still half an hour left. If he drove to the airport at this speed, that person should have already boarded the plane.

The car seemed to be driving slower and slower. Zixuan looked at the trees on the side of the road outside the window and counted them one by one. He was sure it was not his illusion.Looking at the watch in his hand, he said out loud, "Ling Siyou, is this car out of gas?"

"Ah? No, this, Zixuan, it's so cold outside today, it's quite comfortable to sit in the car." Ling Siyou gave him a bright smile.

"I'm afraid it's too late." Zixuan glanced at him, "Otherwise, I can drive." At first, I didn't expect that Zor would want him to send him to the plane, but I have been cooperating with Zor for the past three months.Now that he is leaving to return to the United States, the acquaintance is fate after all.

Someone who had to speed up was depressed: "Well, I'm going to eat red oil ear slices, spicy fried crab and camphor tea duck tonight. I won't drive if I don't burn it." The tone was completely shameless.

Zixuan glanced, and now when it comes to eating, Ling Siyou looks more and more like a child.It was all the fault of the recipes he bought last time. He cooked them in different ways for a few days, and he kept thinking about several dishes.I chanted it more than once before going to bed at night, but now I'm threatening when I get the chance.

"You just drive slowly, and I'll cook clear water tofu for you when you get home at night." Zixuan added, "I won't be able to drive to the airport within 10 minutes, so you can grab the cake with Xiang Yi in the morning, and I'll make it myself." Eat crab roe buns."

"No, I'll drive." Ling Siyou slandered Zoll at the airport N times, accelerated the accelerator and drove forward.When they arrived at the airport in the last ten minutes, Zoll was standing very conspicuously, and both of them saw him after a while.

"Golden retriever." Seeing Zoel's tendency to speak, Ling Siyou shouted one step ahead of him, and abruptly blocked Zoel's voice in his throat, even the smile at the corner of his mouth froze.

Zixuan walked up to him and said hello, looked at his watch that there were only seven or eight minutes left, and smiled apologetically: "I'm late, I'm sorry."

"Jiang, it's good if you can come." Zor took off his sunglasses, his eyes paused on Zixuan's face, and before leaving, he said with emotion, "I have always liked the appearance of oriental people. Maybe I will find them when I return to the United States. Maybe an oriental boy falls in love once."

"There will be a chance." Zixuan said with a smile.

Glancing at Ling Siyou next to him, Zor felt regretful in his eyes: "Without him, Jiang, I would try to pursue you. Among the orientals, I know you best." The teacher who taught him Chinese was also French. Yue actually moved Mingxuan's mind, but the funds invested in the market were restrained by another stock. In order to avoid losing both sides, he did not continue to abide by the contract.

However, no matter what, Zoel sighed in his heart.Ling Siyou, with this person guarding him, he won't have a chance of succeeding.

The boarding announcement sounded, and after looking at the swarming crowd around him, Ling Siyou waved him goodbye: "Have a good trip, if you don't leave, it will be too late."

Of course, Zor could hear the implication, he smiled helplessly, and looked at Zixuan with blue eyes: "If you want to come to the United States in the future, you can find me, and if someone hurts your heart, just call me, I will come from America to accompany you anytime."

It's a joke and it's not a joke.

At least for this period of time, the Chinese boy in front of him is his favorite type, and he admires his personality very much.If there was no rival in love who was difficult to get along with, Zor might have taken action during this time in China.

"Don't worry, no one can bully my family, Zixuan, and you won't have the chance to receive a call." Even if he was a hidden rival in love, Ling Siyou declared overbearingly to win over Zixuan.

He only regarded the foreign man in front of him as an ordinary friend, Zixuan didn't take his words to heart, smiled and waved to him: "Take care."

... On the way back, thinking that he hadn't been home for several days, Zixuan asked Ling Siyou to stop at the vegetable market not far from the apartment, and the two went in to buy some vegetables and meat.After making a phone call and calling Xiang Yi down, the three of them drove to Jiang's house.

Last time in the apartment, the matter between him and Ling Siyou was revealed by the newspapers. Jiang Yongan and Su Huixin came to the apartment to scold him. Although they forgave them later, every time Zixuan called home, the two elders were not in a good mood. It took a long time.

Ling Siyou looked at the ordinary vegetables, meat and fruits in the back seat, and said anxiously: "Is it too shabby to buy these to see my father-in-law and mother-in-law?" He still remembered the experience of being beaten by Jiang Yongan last time. Although I didn't take it seriously, I still feel uneasy to visit now.

"The things we bought from the mall last time are now placed in the back seat of the car, and we can take them out later when we get off the car." Although Zixuan was also worried, he didn't go back this time for a long time, thinking about the anger of the two elders after these days It should have subsided a bit, and then I was ready to go out.

However, after thinking about it for a long time, Zixuan took out his mobile phone and made a call back.Su Huixin answered the call, and Zixuan held the phone and called "Mom."

Recently, Zixuan often called back to ask them if they were in good health, whether the family had enough money, etc. Although she felt sorry for her son's different temperament from ordinary people, Su Huixin still responded to her son.

"Mom, is it okay if I want to go home today?" Zixuan squeezed his sleeves tightly and said. Several times the elders pushed him away with the excuse that he didn't buy vegetables. Thinking of this, Zixuan added, "Today we buy Get food and go home."

On the other end, Jiang Yongan was listening to the phone in the room, and he sighed when he heard the words: "Come back, our family hasn't been together for a long time." It's a lie to say that I don't miss it. Have you grown taller, have you endured hardships outside and lost weight?

Of course Su Huixin agreed, and after saying goodbye, she discussed with her husband whether to wipe down the windows and tidy up the room.He also slowly accepted that Ling Siyou and Zixuan would live together in the future, and it would always be his family who would spend the rest of their lives, and the couple would never see each other for the rest of their lives.

Both parents agreed to go back to visit today, Zixuan hung up the phone with a happy face.Seeing his expression, Ling Siyou asked with a smile, "Agreed?"

"En!" Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to home, Zixuan turned around and packed up the things he was going to take with him.After parking in the garage and getting out of the car, they took the gift they bought last time from the back seat, and the three of them took the elevator upstairs.

After ringing the doorbell, the door opened quickly. Ling Siyou called "Uncle" and handed over the gift in his hand.It is a high-end health care product, which is beneficial to the health of middle-aged and elderly people.Fearing that his father would not accept it, Zixuan said: "Dad, this is a little thought from us. For me and Ziying, you and mother worked very hard before. Now that I can make money, of course I must be filial to you."

After all, it was his son's wish, Jiang Yongan accepted it, and opened the door to let the three of them in.It was almost ten o'clock in the morning.Younger brother Jiang Ziying was not at home for making up lessons today, so he took the vegetables he was carrying to the kitchen. Su Huixin was washing rice in there when she heard footsteps and turned her head to see Zixuan.

I haven't seen my son for a long time. He has grown taller, but he looks thinner than before.Involuntarily put down the rice in her hand, Su Huixin wiped her hands: "Zixuan, come and show mom, why have you lost weight recently? Did you not eat well?"

"Mom," Zixuan walked over obediently, but didn't say the reason for losing weight recently. The jewelry market in City B was chaotic during this period, even though Mingxuan was the last winner, he and Ouyang Ning lost a lot of weight because of fear during the process.But he won't tell his parents about these things. They are so tired that they worry that they may not be able to sleep well at night.

Su Huixin patted him on the back: "After working hard outside, go home and have a look. Your father and I said that we don't forgive you, but we have already forgiven you in our hearts. It's just that we can't let it go. It's good that you come back."

Zixuan put the vegetables and fresh meat in his hands on the kitchen counter: "I bought some vegetables, and today I will cook them for your parents. Not to mention other things, I have practiced a lot of cooking skills outside."

It was rare for his son to be caring, so Su Huixin smiled and nodded to let him show off his skills.With this speech, the psychological distance between mother and child, which had been separated for a long time, narrowed a lot.

The delicious dishes came out of the kitchen plate by plate, with all the colors and flavors, and Su Huixin and Jiang Yongan were quite surprised.He wondered if his son was bullied by Ling Siyou, or how did he develop such cooking skills.

It happened that Ling Siyou was sitting next to him, and the husband and wife were afraid that their son would be wronged, so they said, "Xiao Ling, Zixuan usually does the cooking?"

Ling Siyou, who only smelled the aroma of vegetables, was proud of his wife's cooking skills, and said with a smile: "Of course, Zixuan cooks quickly. These days, he eats new dishes every day, and the cooking is getting better and better. .”

"Is Zixuan doing all the housework?" Ling Siyou's answer made Su Huixin even more distressed. He was quick at cooking... Although the family's financial conditions were not good, his parents cared for Zixuan but did not suffer much.Especially with housework, Su Huixin would rather be a little tired and never let her two sons do it.

Hearing this sentence, Ling Siyou knew the root of the question asked by his father-in-law and his mother-in-law. He was afraid that the two would misunderstand and immediately shook his head: "We divide the housework. I am in charge of buying vegetables and fruits. Zixuan cooks and Xiang Yi is in charge. Washing the dishes. We usually work together during the general cleaning. Don’t worry, parents, I like Zixuan and won’t make him tired.”

His parental yelling was very proficient and smooth, as if he had practiced it many times in private.Su Huixin and Jiang Yongan glanced at each other, acquiesced in his greeting, and entrusted them to be considerate of each other in their lives in the future.

It is true that Ling Siyou is visiting his father-in-law and mother-in-law for the first time, and it is also the first time for Jiang Yongan and Su Huixin to feel like their son-in-law.Although they have met and listened many times before, and the family is very familiar with them, they still feel restrained when they come to visit with gifts so cautiously.

If you care about your son, you will also care about your son-in-law.Zixuan and Ling Siyou were together, anyone could tell that Ling Siyou was more proactive, so when they knew about them, Lin Minghai and Su Huixin's quickest reaction was to go to Ling Siyou.

At 11:30, Zixuan brought the last yam pork ribs soup to the table. Five people sat around and saw the rich and fragrant dishes on the table.

The whole family used to eat together often, but now that they haven't seen each other for a long time, with Ling Siyou beside them, the atmosphere at the table is very lively.

From Zixuan's studies to Ling Siyou's father Ling Huakun's approval, and some interesting things in Zixuan's company and school, Su Huixin suddenly remembered something: "Zixuan, last time your aunt called and said, Your cousin Cheng Yi, who taught at University A, resigned from his job, and now he moved from City B to a nearby small city, have you heard about this?"

"Resign?" Zixuan was surprised, "I haven't heard of this." Although Cheng Yi has not been teaching in the school for a long time, many students who have attended the class like his interesting and effective teaching methods, knowledgeable talents and good looks. Come to his class.Moreover, for ordinary families, the salary of university teachers is not low, so why did they suddenly resign?

"So you don't know." Su Huixin put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, "Your aunt asked me to help her find news about A Yi. Last time he called home and said that he resigned and planned to live in a small city. It's been a while now." No one can find out about him, and I can't get through to A Yi's cell phone."

Zixuan only knew about Cheng Yi and Han Chen, and hadn't seen Han Chen much since the company went bankrupt last time.But in front of my parents, I hesitated to say these words, not knowing whether to say them or not.

Seeing the doubts in his eyes, Ling Siyou pinched Zixuan's leg under the table, stopped him in a low voice, then raised his head and said, "Maybe it's because I've been a teacher for too long, university teachers are also very tired doing research and projects. , take a break and maybe come back.”

Anyway, she couldn't find the reason or anyone, so Su Huixin temporarily put this matter aside.China is so big, unless there are many missing person notices in newspapers and TV networks, there are so many small cities around, it is difficult to find people.

Leaving Ling Siyou and Xiang Yi here, Zixuan went upstairs to his father Lin Minghai after dinner.I have to call him several times a week, and both father and son know very well what is going on with each other.

When he rang the doorbell and saw Gu Zhen who opened the door, Zixuan greeted him with a smile.After coming out of the hospital, they recuperated properly, Lin Minghai and Gu Zhen's spirits are much better than before.

"I'm back." Gu Zhen asked Zixuan to come in with a smile, and just cut some oranges, Gu Zhen handed some to Zixuan, "Have you eaten yet? If you haven't, Mom will cook for you."

Zixuan nodded, peeled a piece of orange and ate it, the juice quenched his thirst.Of course, there is no need to worry about anything in front of the most familiar parents. Seeing a chess board next to the sofa, Zixuan sat next to Lin Minghao. It has been a long time since he played chess. Zixuan pushed to the middle: "Dad, shall we play the next game?"

Of course Lin Minghai couldn't wish for it.The father and son set up their chess pieces and quickly decided to kill the game.In the end, of course Zixuan lost. Although he didn't play tricks, he had the spirit of not admitting defeat, and called his father to do it again. The two of them played a bit slower in this round.

"Did you come here with Ling Siyou today?" Lin Minghai asked slowly after eating a soldier from Zixuan's side.

"Well," Zixuan peeled another sliced ​​orange, "he's downstairs now." After a pause, Zixuan remembered Lin Minghai persuading Ling Huakun that time, even though father and son are welcome, he was still grateful, "Dad, if you hadn't helped Ling Siyou and me, we wouldn't be together now."

Lin Minghai smiled, and casually ate the "horse" on Zixuan's side: "You guys live a good life, and your mother and I can live a solid life. After your accident that time, I only thought that my son was alive, what else? It's not important. Talk to Dad about anything in the future, "

"Um."

Father and son played three games of chess in succession, Zixuan lost two and drew one.The time with my parents passed quickly, but during this time the company was not as busy as before, so I will often have the opportunity to come here in the future.

After eating up Gu Zhen's peeled oranges and hugging a few more in his arms, Zixuan went downstairs.After returning home full of food, Su Huixin just cooked braised egg and beef noodles. It was so delicious that Ling Siyou and Xiang Yi ate two big bowls.Zixuan couldn't hold back his appetite, so he ate two more poached eggs, which were fried until crispy and still full of appetite, but his stomach was so full that it couldn't hold it anymore.

After half a day of investigation, the two elders were paying attention to the relationship between Ling Siyou and Zixuan.

The conclusion reached is that although Ling Siyou looks tall and tall, he listens to Zixuan's words more when it comes to major and minor matters.When I was eating, I brought food to Zixuan, and he served all the meals at home at noon today.

Such a smiling, humorous and quick-witted son-in-law, if gender is ignored, it is really hard not to like it.

Saying goodbye to their family in the evening, the three of them drove back home. They had a tacit understanding after eating enough to lean on the wonderful football game being broadcast on the loveseat sofa.

Only the sofa facing him was the clearest. Zixuan was the first to sit on the sofa, while Ling Siyou and Xiang Yi pressed their hands on the empty seats next to him almost at the same time.

There was only one seat left, but both of them wanted to sit and watch.The two, who uphold the spirit of discussing and improving, once again argued over who could sit down and watch TV.

A gentleman speaks but does not act. The two of his family never seem to disdain being a gentleman. It is usually trivial matters that cause disputes every day.

We can see the most primitive drama staged every day, and it is estimated that when the two of them wake up tomorrow, there will be more bruises on their faces.

Zixuan smiled, took a camera from the side, adjusted the focus, and pressed the button.

The picture freezes, recording the most chaotic scene of Ling Siyou and Xiang Yi, whose faces were flushed red from the struggle with each other.

The north wind is getting colder, and the heating in the house is fully turned on, making it extremely warm and comfortable.

Zixuan stopped his gaze on the two people beside the sofa whose ears were red and their necks were thick, and smiled softly while holding his chin.

It was a real pleasure to live with the two of them.

In the decades to come, I believe that no one will leave anyone!
