Four years single, three years widowed

Putting the mug full of water on the table, just as Li Can was about to sit down, the mobile phone's WeChat notification sounded suddenly, and there were two consecutive beeps.

Picking up the phone, Li Can opened it, it was Deng Kang.

Two messages, the first one: Are you free?Article [-]: Go to the supermarket together?

Thinking that something needs to be added to the house, Li Can replied with one word: Go.

Deng Kang on the other end was probably waiting with his mobile phone in his arms, and when he received Li Can's reply, he quickly came back: Waiting for you downstairs.

After simply tidying up the documents on the table, Li Can went to the bedroom, found a coat and put it on, and then took the elevator down the stairs unhurriedly.

Deng Kang stood waiting for him at the gate of the building, with one hand in his pocket, and the other hand was particularly boring to grab the leaves of the small tree next to him.

"Where's your girlfriend?" Li Can asked as he walked over.

"Going out with her best friend." Deng Kang looked sad.

Deng Kang's girlfriend was also a tour guide, and she said she hadn't come back for a week or two, but she didn't expect to abandon Deng Kang just after she came back last night.

No wonder Deng Kang seemed uninterested, no wonder I asked him to go to the supermarket, I dare say he was a spare tire.

But Li Can didn't care about it, and raised his foot first: "Let's go."

"Aren't you going to comfort me?" Deng Kang immediately followed.

Li Can glanced at him lightly, meaning: What is there to comfort you?

The one in his family hasn't come back for more than half a month. In comparison, Deng Kang should be content.

"Oh!" Deng Kang, who felt the indifference of human feelings, sighed, "I am really pitiful."

Li Can ignored his self-pity and went straight to the gate of the community.

After being quiet for a while, Deng Kang suddenly nudged Li Can gently with his elbow, and asked, "Hey, Li Can..." He glanced at the ring on Li Can's ring finger, "Is your guy busy too?"

Li Can was stunned for a few seconds, then replied, "Yes, very busy."

He and Deng Kang had only known each other for three or four days, so of course he didn't tell the whole story about himself. On the contrary, Deng Kang, who was both outgoing and talkative, had already explained his 25-year-old life in a few days.

"I knew it, otherwise it would be impossible not to see him once in so many days." Deng Kang stretched out his arm, put it on Li Can's shoulder, and sighed again, "The same is the end of the world."

Pursing the corners of his mouth, Li Can took off his hand and pulled the distance away without any trace.

Deng Kang didn't mind at all, and asked curiously, "What did she do?"

"police."

"Fuck!" Deng Kang subconsciously patted Li Can, "Ah!"

Li Can's temples twitched, he didn't dislike Deng Kang's character, but he sincerely hoped that Deng Kang could change his bad habits of hands and feet.

"How did you catch her?"

"He chased me." Li Can replied truthfully.

"Fuck!"

Before Deng Kang could strike, Li Can took a step away from him.

The raised hand was useless, but Deng Kang put it down with a embarrassed expression.But the feeling of embarrassment was only for a moment, and then disappeared without a trace.

He approached Li Can again, with envy on his face: "You are so handsome and capable of working, it makes sense for her to chase after you."

After all, Deng Kang was praising him, and it seemed a little unreasonable for Li Can not to respond, so he said, "Thank you."

Deng Kang burst into laughter with a "puchi": "You are really welcome."

There is a large supermarket near the community. Li Can and Deng Kang arrived there in four to five minutes on foot. The sensor door opened automatically, and Deng Kang pulled out a shopping cart.

"Are you going to buy a lot?" Deng Kang asked.

Li Can shook his head.

"Then let's use this one." Deng Kang made a final decision.

Because it was Sunday, there were quite a lot of people in the supermarket. Li Can walked beside Deng Kang, occasionally stopping in front of the shelves to grab the things he needed.

"Do you have any plans for the evening?" Deng Kang pressed his arms on the push rod of the shopping cart.

"No." Li Can picked up a bottle of commonly used laundry detergent.

"Then come to my house and have hot pot together."

Putting the laundry detergent into the shopping cart, Li Can said, "No, I don't want to be a light bulb."

"Don't worry." Deng Kang said, "You are definitely not the only light bulb."

Li Can thought for a while, but still shook his head: "I won't go today, if you are free, I will treat you to dinner."

I can't stop Deng Kang's enthusiasm. He takes Deng Kang's car to work these days, so I should express my gratitude to Deng Kang.

"I'll talk about your treat sometime when you're free. Anyway, you don't have any arrangements today. Why don't you come to my house to eat hot pot? There are many people and it's lively." Those who ate together at my house for the first time, plus my girlfriend's girlfriends."

"I……"

"Come on, come on, how lonely you are eating with your family alone."

Deng Kang's words hit Li Can's heart, it was really lonely to eat alone.

Seeing that he was loose, Deng Kang immediately took advantage of the victory to pursue him: "How do you say brother?"

"Okay." Li Can smiled slightly.

Deng Kangshu let out a sigh of relief: "That's right, don't be embarrassed."

The two continued to walk forward, and Deng Kang taught Li Can his experience: "You are like me, every time I feel empty and lonely, I will call my friends and ask them to accompany me for dinner. If one is not free, I will find another , there is always someone who can make an appointment."

In this way, Li Can can't follow the gourd. Deng Kang has many friends and thick skin, but he doesn't have both. One has no friends, and the other is not thick enough.

"Actually, Li Can..."

"Ok?"

Deng Kang picked up a box of mutton rolls from the freezer, and smiled wryly: "It's really uncomfortable, isn't it?"

Li Can suppressed the smile in his eyes, nodded lightly: "Yeah."

Throwing the mutton roll into the shopping cart, Deng Kang was a little sad: "It was okay before, she and I were both tour guides, and we often got together for holidays, but now I go to Zhenjia to work and become an ordinary office worker, working from nine to five , there are two days off in a week, yes, it is indeed much easier, but it is only me."

"I'm not afraid of making fun of you if you say it." Deng Kang revealed his true feelings, "When she's not around, I miss her every day."

Li Can didn't know how to comfort Deng Kang, because he was in the same situation as Deng Kang, and he could understand Deng Kang's feelings, but apart from patience, they only had...

"But there is no way!" Deng Kang cheered up quickly, and said very nastyly, "Who made me love her."

Slowly lowering his eyelids, Li Can thought, he is still different from Deng Kang.

On the other side of the city, in the police office, Duan Wenzheng, lying on his desk, reluctantly opened his eyes, touched the back of his neck with his big hands, and rubbed vigorously to relieve the pain.

Only a sliver of light came in through the drawn shutters, and the room was dark, and with the addition of a bed it would have been a nice place to sleep.

Duan Wenzheng stood up, stretched, picked up the mobile phone on the desk, and looked at the time, dazed.

Rushing out of the office in a hurry, Duan Wenzheng happened to bump into Lao Ding who was walking towards him.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Duan Wenzheng said angrily.

"You didn't ask me to call you." Lao Ding looked innocent, "Besides, I didn't even know you were in the bureau. I thought you were home."

Duan Wenzheng received work at three o'clock in the morning last night, so he just squinted in the office for a while in fear of disturbing Li Can's rest when he returned home.

Who knew that he underestimated the extent of his exhaustion, he squinted until after three o'clock in the afternoon, and the rest day he finally got was wasted for nothing.

"Okay, let's go back quickly, Team Duan." Lao Ding said.

Fiercely scratching his hair, Duan Wenzheng strode out of the police station.

Opening the car door, sitting in the driver's seat, turning the key, Duan Wenzheng didn't even want to waste the time smoking a cigarette, and drove all the way home.

After opening the door, Duan Wenzheng took off his shoes and shouted, "Cancan!"

No one responded, and the house was silent.

Duan Wenzheng did not give up, and searched all over the study, bedroom, and bathroom, but in the end he could only accept the fact that Li Can was not at home.

Throwing himself on the sofa, Duan Wenzheng looked up at the ceiling, the craving for cigarettes that came late began to strike, which was a bit unbearable.

Running to the balcony, Duan Wenzheng took out the cigarette case from his pocket, lifted the lid, took a cigarette to his mouth, and lit it with a lighter.

Taking a deep breath, the nicotine entered the lungs from the airway, Duan Wenzheng clamped the cigarette with two fingers, and exhaled a white smoke ring.

Committing a crime at home, Duan Wenzheng was terrified, and looked back from time to time to see if Li Can was back. When the cigarette was half burned, Duan Wenzheng became a little anxious, so he decided to call Li Can and ask where he was.

His right hand reached for his trouser pocket, and just as Duan Wenzheng was about to take out his phone, he spotted Li Can in the community.

There is also a man, a young man who walks side by side with Li Can, talking and laughing.

They seemed to be coming back from the supermarket together, each holding a plastic bag with the name of the supermarket printed on it.

Unknowingly, the two sword eyebrows were tightly knit together, Duan Wenzheng snuffed out the cigarette, turned and walked into the house.

Throwing the cigarette butt into the toilet and flushing it into the sewer, Duan Wenzheng picked up the toothbrush and squeezed toothpaste.

While brushing his teeth, he recalled the scene he saw just now, and the sour taste spread from his heart to his whole body.

After spitting out the last mouthful of mouthwash, Duan Wenzheng never saw Li Can come back, but he clearly saw Li Can and that man entering the building together.

Is it...

Duan Wenzheng's face was gloomy, reason and anger kept pulling Duan Wenzheng's nerves, he couldn't control his steps, and hurriedly left the room.

The elevator stops on the eighth floor.

Duan Wenzheng assumed that the man lived on the eighth floor, pressed the button, and waited for the elevator to come up.

There are two households on each floor of this building. Although Duan Wenzheng doesn't know which household the man lives in, there are only two doors in total, so it's not a troublesome thing to try.

"Ding!" He rang the doorbell.

"coming!"

Young, male, should be right here.

As soon as the door opened, Duan Wenzheng looked at the man's face, his eyes darkened.

"who are you?"

"Li Can's husband." Duan Wenzheng's voice was cold.

The pupils dilated instantly, and the man took a step back, as if he had been frightened: "Ah?!"

Li Can, who heard the noise, walked out of the kitchen: "Deng Kang..."

When the three met, the atmosphere was suffocating in an instant.

"He, he said, he is you..." Deng Kang stammered, pointing at Duan Wenzheng with a trembling finger.

Duan Wenzheng narrowed his eyes, and suddenly wanted to chop off the man's fingers.

"You're back." Li Can said flatly, staring straight at Duan Wenzheng.
