Out of some kind of mentality, He Qiao didn't return to his apartment for the next few days, but stayed at home all the time.It's not that I'm afraid of seeing Fang Shaoyang, it's just that I don't know what to say when I see him, so it's better not to see him.

Wukong's physical fitness has deteriorated a lot due to being ill for a long time, so he fostered it in a pet park for exercise a few days ago, and he picked it up after get off work today.

Seeing him teasing the dog with a faint smile from the rearview mirror, Zhou Peiyuan couldn't help but tease: "You treat him like your dog son, and you don't care about your illness, so you arrange him to run in circles every day... "

No matter how long a dog's lifespan is, it will only last more than ten years, and He Qiao always hopes that it can stay with him for a longer time.He let Wukong sit on his lap, lowered his head and touched its nose, feeling that its nose was wet but clean, and the fur around it was fluffy and soft.Wukong gasped and stuck out his tongue to lick his face, but he avoided it with a smile: "Dirty."

Wukong also grinned, his wagging tail made the car windows slam, his clever and mischievous appearance amused Zhou Peiyuan: "What a treasure."

As the sun sets, the clouds stretch for thousands of miles.

When I was about to get home, I accidentally received a call from Rong Yue.Probably because of the race against time at work, Rong Yue prefers to make phone calls rather than send texts, which saves time simply and directly.

"Are you busy?"

"No, it's already off work." He Qiao patted Wukong's head to keep him from making trouble, and sat down, "What about you?"

I haven't contacted for a long time, and I feel a little strange when I talk again.Rong Yue smiled: "Originally, I was supposed to be on the night shift, but my colleague proposed to change the shift temporarily. After the shift, I suddenly didn't know where to go, so I called and asked what you were doing."

"I just picked up Wukong from the park, and I plan to take him to take a bath at night."

"Do you mind if I go with you?"

He was silent for a moment.

Rong Yue didn't rush, just waited patiently at the other end.Just at the entrance of the villa, Zhou Peiyuan stopped the car and got out, leaving him alone in the car to finish the call.

"It's a rare rest, why make this trip."

"The rest time is for connecting with friends." Rong Yue insisted unexpectedly tonight, as if this side must be seen, "Besides, I am alone, and I usually stay at home reading books and playing mobile phones. Going out to meet you is also considered an activity. Muscles."

He Qiao couldn't shirk it, so he could only say: "Then see you at eight o'clock in the evening."

"Are you at home? I'll pick you up then."

"I'm here with my parents."

After hanging up the phone, he sat quietly in the car, thinking about the matter between himself and Rong Yue.No matter how you look at it, Rong Yue is a good person who deserves to be with him for a lifetime.But he still lacked that kind of heart-wrenching feeling towards Rong Yue, as if they were always in balance with each other, there was no spark, and it was impossible to develop any unforgettable feelings.

Even being together is just suitable, this is not the relationship he wants.After thinking about this, he decided to speak more clearly to Rong Yue tonight, so that the other party would not waste any more time on him.

Suddenly there were two knocks, and Zhou Peiyuan knocked on the car window.He Qiao came back to his senses, and saw a black Mercedes driving by, and stopped firmly at the entrance of the villa after driving two meters forward.

The sky had already darkened, and the dim and hazy moonlight filled the gate.Fang Shaoyang opened the car door in front of them, stretched out his suit, and strode towards them.

He Qiao had no choice but to come out and say hello: "Why are you here?"

"I'm here to visit my uncle, and I made an appointment in advance."

It appears Dad has cashed in on the lie by agreeing to give him a chance to meet.He turned his head to look at the brightly lit study upstairs, then turned around and hummed.Fang Shaoyang was not surprised to see him at all, and asked, "You already knew?"

"That's it."

Wukong, who was dozing off in the back row, woke up, sticking his head out of the window and shouting happily.Fang Shaoyang went over and rubbed its head, and the two of them were very affectionate. It's been a long time since I saw it look so energetic.

He Qiao stood aside, with mixed feelings in his heart.Zhou Peiyuan's narrow voice came from next to his ear: "He is the real father and son. No matter how well you raise him, you are still a stepfather. You can't compare. Do you understand?"

Fang Shaoyang took it straight out of the car, carefully inspected its teeth and hair, made sure that everything was particularly healthy, and then plucked its hair with satisfaction.Wukong snuggled up to his legs, his tail was almost wagging into the sky, and there was still that comfortable purring sound in his throat.

"Let's go." He Qiao turned around.

Zhou Peiyuan chased after him: "Hey, hey! Don't watch it now? Its stepfather, wait for me..."

This time Fang Shaoyang also brought a lot of supplements, such as sea cucumber, bird's nest, and cordyceps sinensis.After closing the door, he had a private conversation with He Lixian, and he didn't come out for a long time.

The night became darker and darker until it was pitch black.A few dim street lamps stood far away on the side of the road. Mosquitoes flew around under the lamps. Occasionally, the shadows of pedestrians slanted across. Looking out from the balcony on the third floor, there is a sense of time and stability.

After Zhou Peiyuan left, He Qiao worked alone on the balcony, and Wukong squatted beside him, squinting his eyes for a while, tilting his head and barking twice, and rubbing his paws against him.

"Hey, I'll take you out later."

It's still some time before eight o'clock.

Not long after, there was a harsh sound of falling things downstairs, which scared Wukong so much that his neck shrank suddenly.His heart sank, he closed his laptop, got up and went downstairs, and ran into his mother outside the door who was also looking at the situation.

"mom."

"Shh-"

Mother He turned around and handed him two glasses of water in her hand, signaling him not to speak yet.

After the fall, there was sudden silence in the study, even the voice was very low, and nothing could be heard clearly through a door.Seeing his mother lying on the door and listening to the corner of the wall very seriously, He Qiao had an embarrassed expression on his face, and he didn't stay or leave when he stood behind.

Heck——

The door opened unexpectedly!

"..."

"What are you doing?" He Li stared at the mother and son.

He Mu's face turned pale for a second, then she calmed down, turned around and pushed He Qiao who was carrying water to the door: "My son is here to bring you drinks."

He Qiao was at a loss for words for a while, but fortunately a person came out from behind his father, took the water and made a relief in a low voice: "Thank you, I just feel thirsty."

When he looked up, he saw Fang Shaoyang drinking water with his head down, his face full of vigor, and there was an unconcealable smile at the corner of his mouth.He Qiao pursed his lips, feeling a little annoyed.Turning around and walking upstairs, someone gently pulled her forearm: "Send me off."

The strange thing is that He Lixian also began to acquiesce.

After changing their clothes, the two led Wukong and walked slowly out of the community. The driver of the He family followed behind in Fang Shaoyang's car.Judging from the walking posture alone, the two of them are two completely different types.He Qiao's figure is straight and his steps are steady. The words "a gentleman is dignified and gentle like jade" are vividly reflected in him; Fang Shaoyang strides forward with his hands in his pockets, his sense of self-confidence cannot be concealed.

"How's it going?"

"Uncle didn't make it clear, but I guess he will vote for me."

"So confident?"

Fang Shaoyang smiled: "I don't even have the ability to observe words and expressions, so I'll stop messing around as soon as possible."

In fact, this time he came with all the preparations.From the big strategy to the appointment and removal of personnel, he considered Zhou Xiang for Rong Xin, and stayed up all night to come up with a plan for the next three years that was comparable to a prospectus.At first, He Lixian didn't think much of the item he brought, but later he found it more interesting. The two discussed it back and forth, and many business ideas coincided with each other.Fang Shaoyang could tell that He Lixian admired him more than he hated him.

Gentle breeze.

Wukong ran in front of them for a while, looking at them with an inexplicable and somewhat unbelievable expression, and ran behind them for a while, obediently following them.

"What's the matter with falling something in the middle?"

"It's nothing, I just made my uncle angry." He shrugged, "He made me a condition, but I didn't agree."

He Qiao turned his gaze to him: "What conditions?"

"He told me not to appear in front of you again."

He Lixian tested him in the middle, saying that he could vote for him, but the condition was to keep him away from He Qiao and never see him again.Fang Shaoyang did not argue with him, but only said that he could withdraw from the chairman's election at any time, but it was impossible to agree to such a condition.

Guessing that his father was just trying his character for the last time, He Qiao led Wukong and stared at the road ahead silently, and did not answer for a long time.When approaching the gate of the community, the rope was pulled by someone.

"I'll take it."

Fang Shaoyang's fingertips brushed against his palm unintentionally when handing over the rope, and He Qiao flinched slightly, avoiding it.The two stopped under the tree, the shadow cast by the leaves caged them, and the driver behind did not approach.

He Qiao looked down at the ground, Fang Shaoyang looked down at him, Wukong sat down and looked up at them.After a long time, I heard Fang Shaoyang's deep voice: "Uncle told me today that you helped me."

What do you mean?

"Without you, I wouldn't be able to see your father today, let alone get your Heming's vote."

It was about voting.

He Qiao shook his head lightly: "Don't worry about it, I just..."

"I understand that you have no personal feelings involved in this matter." Fang Shaoyang suddenly took a step forward, and hugged him very well, but hugged him very tightly, "But you don't know how happy I am."

He Qiao wanted to push him away, but his movements froze and stopped.

Happy?

"I'm really happy that you don't hate me anymore. I'm so happy that I want to tell the whole world that my brother Qiao doesn't hate me anymore."

Fang Shaoyang buried his head in the socket of his neck, breathing lowly, choking slightly.

"Don't ignore me in the future. I don't ask you to like me again, just treat me as your younger brother, meet me occasionally or make a phone call, so that no matter where I go, I will feel that there are still people here who care about me. Not alone."

No one will rely on anyone forever, and there is no way to say "you have me", but the company at this moment is already precious.

Fang Shaoyang, who had always looked like a man, suddenly cried on his shoulder tonight, although there was no sound.He Qiao's two hands stopped beside him, and after a while, he finally patted him on the back lightly.

"Actually, I wanted to hate you."

Fang Shaoyang paused slightly.

Maybe it's because of the atmosphere, or maybe it's been too long and finally it's time to confide, He Qiao put his hands on his back, and leaned his face lightly: "I thought about hating you, and thought about it seriously, because it was really too painful at that time." .”

"When I think of you lying to me, using me, and insulting me with those words before you leave, I always lose sleep all night. I have tried changing offices, moving houses, and trying to foster Wukong to a friend's house, but it is still hard to forget Those things. Then I wondered if it would be easier to hate you."

Losing someone, the most painful thing is often not the turbulent discomfort at the beginning, but when you think that time has healed the wound, when you see the tie left by him and squat on the ground in pain, then you realize that you still can't let go no.That kind of powerlessness, that kind of despair, is enough to destroy a newly healed heart.

"But if you hate you, you have to always remember you. I don't want to do that, I want to forget." He Qiao's voice trembled slightly, "So I choose not to hate, let you go and let me go."

That's why he helped Fang Shaoyang this time.

Fang Shaoyang leaned on his shoulder and shook his head vigorously, clenching his teeth tightly, but couldn't speak a word.It is actually not easy to come here today. Two people who have loved each other can still meet and talk peacefully. This is also a kind of "future".It's not only being together is called the future, right?

But Fang Shaoyang wanted much more than that, he was not reconciled.With his character, how can he be reconciled to giving away what he has obtained?He hugged He Qiao tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.The wind blew for a while, and hot tears swam silently into the clothes.

He Qiao also hugged him, but his heart gradually calmed down.

I have given so much affection and taught him so many things. I thought there would be no response, but I didn't expect to turn around, and finally taught him the last thing with loss and wounds: cherish.

From now on, Fang Shaoyang probably won't lie to him again.Because he showed the wound to Fang Shaoyang, the blood was dripping, and the bones could be seen deeply, it was shocking enough to describe.As long as Fang Shaoyang still cares about him a little bit, he shouldn't lie to him anymore.

After a long time, the mobile phone in the clothes vibrated softly.He Qiao patted him on the back, motioning for him to answer the phone, Fang Shaoyang let him go and turned around without letting him see his face.

It's Rong Yue.

He Qiao walked away a few steps: "Are you here?"

Rong Yue's tone was meaningful: "I'm right at the door, you can find me when you come out."

He sees everything.

He Qiao's heart tightened slightly, he hung up the phone and said to Shao Yang, "I still have something to do, I have to take a step first."

Fang Shaoyang turned his back to him and nodded vigorously.

"You..." He Qiao took a breath, and tightened Wukong's rope, "Take care of yourself, see you at the board."

There was no response, only heavy, clogged breathing.

He Qiao drifted away.When he walked to the gate, he looked back and found that Fang Shaoyang was still where he was.

After getting into Rong Yue's car, no one spoke for a long time.It wasn't until the route had to be determined that Rong Yue asked, "Still going to the pet shop last time?"

"Ah."

"Have you brought your phone?"

"Ah."

"Delete him."

"En." He Qiao finished answering absent-mindedly, then paused suddenly, raised his eyes, "Huh?"

Rong Yue looked ahead: "Delete him, don't contact him again, he is not a person worth entrusting."

He Qiao's eyebrows slowly tightened.

Parking the car to the side of the road, Rong Yue turned his head and looked at him for a long time, with both distressed and troubled eyes.After a long time, as if he had made a decision, he took out the phone from his pocket, "Look for yourself."

He Qiao took it and saw a group photo.

A man and a woman, taken on the bed.Fang Shaoyang fell asleep, and Wang Keyu lay beside him with a lazy expression.
