Year after year

When Ying Hengnian woke up, he found himself wrapped in a quilt and lying on the bed at home.

Ying Heng turned around and glanced at the clock on the wall, it was ten o'clock.He rubbed his head and sat up, vaguely remembering that after his brother and Jing Sui left last night, the group of drinking and meat friends began to persuade him to drink wildly.He doesn't know how much he drank in the end, anyway, he must drink the fragments, after all, he doesn't even remember how he came back now.

Really good wine.Ying Hengnian thought, it was like falling asleep.

Buried under the pillow, the phone rang, and not many people called Ying Hengnian these days.Ying Hengnian took out his phone and saw that it was his mother, Ms. Bai Qiu.

"Hey, Mom." Ying Hengnian turned on the speakerphone and fell back under the quilt, and asked lazily, "What's the matter?"

"I'm downstairs at your house." Upon hearing Ying Hengnian's voice, Bai Qiu knew that he hadn't woken up yet, "Why haven't you woke up so late? What did you do last night? How much wine did you drink?"

"Hey, don't you know all about this?" Hearing that Bai Qiu was at the door, Ying Hengnian didn't dare to neglect, picked up his phone, kicked on his slippers, and rushed to the door, but he still said in an unhurried manner, "Mom , you tell me, what will happen to me as a big man?"

Bai Qiu, who has been fighting wits and courage with his son for many years, will not be distracted by Ying Hengnian, and continues to ask: "How did you come back? Did you drink and drive again? Why do you have such a short memory every year..."

Three years ago, Nian Bai Qiu was involved in a car accident, and there was a series of rear-end collisions on the elevated highway. Bai Qiu was driving the one that was innocently involved in the front.Ying Hengnian was out for a dinner that day, and received the news just after eating a catty of nothing. He was so frightened that he hurried all the way to the city hospital by car.When the flushed Ying Hengnian found Bai Qiu who was safe and sound in the hospital, he was scolded by Bai Qiu - Ying Hengnian's secretary Xiao Wang called and told Bai Qiu that Ying Hengnian came to her for drunk driving because of red eyes.

"You don't know how to call and ask?" Bai Qiu sat on the hospital bed, his face pale, "It's okay, tell me, you are such a grown-up, why are you still so rough—"

"I didn't make it clear on the phone call from the hospital." Ying Hengnian was running out of breath and hadn't recovered yet, "He kept saying 'Are you Ms. Bai Qiu's family? Please come to the first hospital in the city.' I thought something was wrong with you—”

"That's why you threw the phone to Xiao Wang without even listening to what you said." Bai Qiu took Ying Hengnian's hand and let Ying Hengnian sit beside her, "Mr. Zhao said what will happen to Mom, Mom was safe and sound after passing through the gate of hell last time..."

Ying Hengnian was quite aggrieved at first, but when he came here in a hurry, he was talked about by the person concerned.But when he lowered his head and saw Bai Qiu's cold hands tightly holding him, he silently stopped talking.Ying Hengnian suddenly realized that Bai Qiu's attitude towards the car accident was not as calm as she said. After experiencing a tragic car accident, she had to wait for her drunk-driving son to return safely. More anxious and worrying.Thinking of this, Ying Hengnian reached out and hugged the chattering Bai Qiu.This was the first time he felt that the woman in his memory who could beat him all over the ground was so thin, and he could wrap his arms around her with just one hand.Ying Hengnian kissed Bai Qiu's hair lightly, and Chen Ken apologized.

"Mom, I'm sorry".

Bai Qiu, who was hugged by her son, was stunned for a moment, she couldn't believe it, that little bastard who had been thinking about how to fight against their husband and wife all day would actually make such a gentle move.When she heard the phrase "I'm sorry", Bai Qiu couldn't bear it any longer. She leaned on Ying Hengnian's shoulder, clutching Ying Hengnian's suit jacket and began to cry.

Cried like a normal aftermath survivor would.

When Ying Yingjie arrived at the hospital, what he saw was the mother and son cuddling each other on the chairs in the hospital aisle.

Such scenarios are rare.Ying Yingjie knew that Ying Hengnian didn't plan to come back at the beginning, but Ying Hengnian changed his mind after spending a few days with Bai Qiu in bed in the hospital.After Bai Qiu was discharged from the hospital, Ying Hengnian returned to a foreign country to hastily finished his studies, and planned to return to China to start his own company.

The more you give me, the more I don't want anything. Ying Hengnian is the kind of person who takes soft things but not hard things.Ying Yingjie has always had the attitude of "children and grandchildren have their own blessings". He never interferes with what Ying Hengnian wants to do, and even waits to see Ying Hengnian come back after failing to start a business.But Bai Qiu is different, she regards Ying Hengnian's return to the country as submissive, and thinks that this little heartless person has finally figured it out and knows her painstaking efforts.However, the reality is cruel, Bai Qiu once suspected that Ying Hengnian wanted to come back because she was fine and sent her to the hospital again.The Lu Yinghengnian that she arranged with great painstaking care ignored, took her suitcase and lived in an office building that was rented for [-] yuan a month and started her own business.

"Just let him go." Ying Yingjie persuaded Bai Qiu, "Of course you will come back when you know."

"I just can't figure it out." Bai Qiu was in a complicated mood, "How did I offend him? He wants to slap me like this."

"You just control too loosely." Ying Yingjie didn't want to make his wife angry, so he decided to put it mildly, "Young people don't want to be restrained."

"Children won't grow up on their own." Bai Qiu knew the meaning behind Ying Yingjie's words, and couldn't get angry. The feeling was that he was being too affectionate and meddling. "I don't care who cares about him? You father and son are of the same virtue. That's fine, I'll forget it if I'm so mad, I don't care if you go to heaven or earth."

But being a parent is such a thing, if you let go of the harsh words, you will still continue to chase after your own children in the end.

In recent years, Ying Heng has had a lot of fun outside, except for the Chinese New Year holidays, he usually doesn't go home.Bai Qiu adhered to the principle of "if the mountain doesn't come up, I'll go over it", and would run to Ying Hengnian whenever he had time.

It's like trying to make up for those years.

"Mom, I didn't drink and drive. My friend sent me back yesterday." Ying Hengnian opened the door, bent down and made an exaggerated invitation gesture to the dissatisfied Bai Qiu, "Now that the demerits are so strict, how dare I go against the wind and commit crimes?" ah."

"You." Bai Qiu hung up the call, poked Ying Hengnian's head with his hand, and involuntarily softened his tone, "Does your headache hurt? I brought you medicine. Haven't you had breakfast yet? I brought it with you." Seafood porridge and steamed buns. Tsk, it’s been a while since I cleaned up, why is the house in such a mess. Sigh, wash your face and brush your teeth before eating, I’ll call housekeeping for you..."

Ying Hengnian smiled and watched Bai Qiu go into the kitchen rambling, and asked, "Are you okay today? Come to see me so early?"

"Of course I don't have as much leisure as you as a young master." Bai Qiu's voice came from the kitchen, a little muffled, "I just came to see you. How is the handover of your company going?"

Ying Hengnian went into the bathroom, poked his head out and replied, "I haven't thought about it yet, I want to sell it directly, quiet."

"How can this work?" Bai Qiu put the steamed buns on a plate and took them to the table in the restaurant, "I have read the information you submitted, and the development prospects of 'Vision' and 'Sailing' are still very good, and you created them all by yourself. Yes, it's a pity to sell it."

"I'm still worried that I won't be able to find another home." Ying Hengnian brushed his teeth, and said vaguely, "You two small companies, what kind of tricks can you have. Besides, it will be troublesome to join Ying's after you bring it with you."

Bai Qiu didn't answer, because she was the one who said "what tricks can these two small companies have".

"Mom, don't be burdened." Ying Hengnian left the bathroom after wiping his face, and came to the dining table, "I will finish it. Before the end of the month, I promise."

Bai Qiu sighed in her heart, she always felt that the relationship between herself and her son was covered with a thick layer of fog, making her unable to see the distance between the two of them clearly, and doing anything seemed futile.

Stop chasing, you can't catch up.

He will understand.

"The restaurant my elder brother took me to last night was pretty good." Ying Hengnian sipped his porridge with his head buried in his mouth, and asked, "Mom, are you free this week? Shall we go together?"

"Not this week." Bai Qiu said, "I'm going on a business trip the day after tomorrow. I have to prepare a lot. I won't be back until the 3rd of next month."

Ying Hengnian nodded, shrugged his shoulders and expressed regret: "It's okay, let's talk about it next month."

After Ying Hengnian finished eating the steamed buns, Bai Qiu left. Before she left, she told Ying Hengnian that the housekeeper had already called and would come soon, and asked him to wait at home.Ying Hengnian sent Bai Qiu away, and on the way home he thought of an important question: Who sent me back yesterday?

Jing Sui and Ying Heng'an left the meeting early, and they should have settled the debt.Others are temporary bureaus, and they will make appointments later.Is it a substitute driver?The service is so good and you send yourself in the door?Ying Hengnian thought for a while, and was about to send a WeChat message to ask Ying Hengan, when the phone rang.

Still an unknown number.

Ying Hengnian answered the phone, but he didn't expect it to be from Lin Yu.

"Ying Hengnian?" Lin Yu's voice was tense and serious, "I have something to tell you."

"Oh, Ayu? Well, tell me." Hearing Lin Yu's stiff voice, Ying Hengnian wanted to laugh for some reason, "Did you send me back last night?"

"Ah, yes, yes." Lin Yu was called into a brain freeze by the deep "Ayu" and asked falteringly, "Then... well, the access card of the community you live in is still here with me , when are you free and I will send it to you?"

Ying Hengnian didn't answer right away, because his mind went blank for a moment - he was drunk last night, so he shouldn't have done anything out of the ordinary, right?Ying Hengnian's wine taste is not good, but he loves to drink.Under normal circumstances, he will restrain himself and just be a little drunk.But yesterday...

Well, it’s not too much for a person to indulge himself once in a while, right?

"I didn't cause you any trouble last night, did I?" Ying Hengnian said unconsciously and cautiously, "I'll just get the key card myself, so I won't trouble you, Ayu."

"Then when will you come over? Why don't you just come over for dinner—"

"No, no, no." Ying Hengnian suddenly felt a little pity, as if he had missed some good opportunity, "I have dinner tonight, I'll come to you after eight o'clock. You close at eight o'clock? Is that okay?"

"Yes." Lin Yu said, "Then I will wait for you tonight."
