Four years single, three years widowed

That night, Li Can spent a lot of time collecting the fragments of the mug, repeating the action of squatting down to pick it up again and again until all his strength was exhausted.

Dragging his exhausted body into the chair, Li Can looked at the results on the table, the pieces were all over the table, in different sizes, some even looked like small stones.

After a long time, he suddenly stood up, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and found a bottle of glue.

Of course, Li Can knew that what he was about to do was meaningless. The broken items could not be repaired at all, and the smooth surface would be covered with rough and ugly cracks, showing the damage he had suffered.

But he did it anyway.

Carefully identifying each piece, Li Can used glue to try to put the mug together, not caring about the passage of time, not looking at the gradually whitening sky, and concentrating on this work.

"Beep beep!" The hurried alarm broke the silence.

It was already eight o'clock.

Li Can pursed his lips, put down the glue in his hand, and tapped the stop button on the phone screen.

The harsh sound disappeared immediately, and the room returned to silence.

After solving the alarm clock, Li Can looked at the semi-finished product in front of him. He was quite satisfied with his progress, so he got up and stretched his muscles.

Kneading the stiff back of the neck with his left hand, he put the remaining pieces into the box with his right hand. As for the semi-finished product, after careful consideration, he finally chose to put it back in its original place.

The kitchen cabinets were wall-mounted so were largely undamaged in the heat of battle, but sadly, that doesn't include what's inside.

I really don't know who started it first, but they didn't even let go of the cups and tea sets inside.

Li Can opened the door of the cupboard, and through an overturned glass, he saw another intact couple's mug, and was pleasantly surprised.

The sour eyes burst into light in an instant, he picked up the glass and moved to the corner, and put the semi-finished product in his hand next to the mug.

Evoking a faint smile, he stood quietly admiring it for a while.

Not forgetting the alarm clock that rang, Li Can then closed the cabinet door, took a quick shower, cleaned up briefly, and left home.

Today is a fine day, and the sun rises earlier than usual, revealing a little bit of gold, which warms people's hearts.

The scenery outside the car window passed by quickly, Li Can resisted the idea of ​​turning around and going to the hospital, and in order to divert his attention, he called a familiar housekeeper on the way and asked her to clean up the battlefield.

Arriving at the company, Li Can opened the door and got off the car, took the elevator from the garage on the ground floor, and unexpectedly stopped on the first floor.

"Good morning, Manager Li." Secretary Kong outside the elevator nodded to him and walked in.

"Morning." Li Can replied.

Secretary Kong secretly glanced at Li Can from time to time, as if he wanted to say something, but he still couldn't make up his mind.

Li Can sees through it without pointing it out, staring at the continuously rising numbers on the display screen without squinting.

"Ding!" With a sound, the door opened.

The two entered the office area one after the other, and Li Can noticed a few nosy colleagues whispering behind him, curiously discussing what made the always cold-faced Manager Li react so strongly, and directly skip class.

Li Can couldn't help but feel a little funny. It turned out that his behavior yesterday had become a big news that caused a sensation in the whole company.

Turning left into the office, Li Can took off his outer coat and was about to hang the coat on the hanger when he heard footsteps.Turning his head, he glanced at the person coming, and then calmly completed the unfinished business just now.

"What did you do yesterday?" Li Yaohui asked him.

"I went to the hospital." Li Can replied.

"Hospital?" Li Yaohui stepped forward, with a look of worry on his face, "Is there something uncomfortable?"

"No." Li Can confessed honestly, "It's not me, it's Duan Wenzheng."

Li Yaohui frowned: "What happened to him?"

"There was an accident and I was injured."

Frowning deepened, Li Yaohui asked, "Is it serious?"

Li Can's expression was slightly heavy: "It's very serious."

Li Yaohui sighed unceasingly. He knew that Duan Wenzheng's condition was definitely not life-threatening, otherwise Li Can would not come to work as usual, but when he heard the news, he felt very uncomfortable, and his emotions were overwhelmed by Duan Wenzheng in the hospital. Pulling.

"Help me host the meeting later, I'll pick up your mother and go with her to see Duan Wenzheng." Li Yaohui said.

Li Yaohui's concern for Duan Wenzheng surprised Li Can.

As Duan Wenzheng's former father-in-law, it was reasonable for Li Yaohui to visit Duan Wenzheng, but he didn't have to go immediately, not to mention, he was willing to miss the next important meeting because of this.

"Didn't you always wait to see Duan Wenzheng?" Li Can said intentionally.

Li Yaohui snorted: "I don't want to see Duan Wenzheng, but I'm not cold-blooded." He glanced sideways at Li Can, "Besides, I have been in-laws with his parents for more than three years, and their son was injured and hospitalized. I can’t justify not going to see it.”

He obviously cared about Duan Wenzheng, but he also talked about Duan's parents.

Li Can restrained the corners of his lips that wanted to rise, and his eyes under the lens were smiling.

Li Yaohui felt hairy all over when he saw him, put his hands behind his back, and said with a straight face: "I'm leaving, if other people ask me, just say that I have something to go out."

"En." Li Can nodded obediently.

Straightening his back, Li Yaohui turned and walked out of the office.

Looking at his figure, Li Can couldn't hold back after all, the corners of his lips slightly raised.

He finally knew whose stubbornness he inherited from.

After Li Yaohui left, Li Can remembered his main purpose of coming to the company today.Instead of going to work, I asked Li Yaohui for leave, and then arranged the things at hand.

But it doesn't matter, because Li Yaohui came back at noon.

Holding the completed leave form, Li Can knocked on the door of Li Yaohui's office.

"Enter!"

Li Can pushed open the door with steady steps.

"What's the matter?" Li Yaohui looked up from a pile of documents.

"I'm here to ask for leave." Li Can handed the leave form in front of him.

Reaching out to take it, Li Yaohui scanned the leave form in his hand, then took a deep look at Li Can, but didn't say much, and signed it readily.

"Thank you Mr. Li." Li Can was satisfied.

In fact, before he arrived at the company this morning, he was not 100% sure whether Li Yaohui would agree to his request for leave, but when he saw Li Yaohui knew about Duan Wenzheng's accident and showed such a nervous attitude, Li Can dispelled all his worries.

Li Yaohui would definitely agree, and it was true.

The turmoil in the production department has not subsided, and the colleagues who received the news were extremely surprised. Their nicknamed workaholic Manager Li actually asked for leave, and once asked for a full seven days!

There were a lot of discussions outside, and Li Can, the person involved, had no time to care what others thought. He carefully arranged all matters, trying not to cause trouble to his colleagues, and at the same time, he did not cause trouble to himself.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, Li Can left the company and received a call on the way to pick up his car.

"Hey?"

"Cancan, Wen Zheng is awake!" Duan Mu's voice was full of joy.

Li Can paused, and then strode forward: "I'll go there now."

Arriving at the hospital as fast as yesterday, Li Can went straight to Duan Wenzheng's ward. He heard Duan Wenzheng's voice at the door, a little hoarse and weak.

Slowing down, Li Can stepped into the ward, and the three people inside turned to look at him at the same time.

"Cancan is here." Mother Duan smiled.

From the moment he came in, Li Can's eyes were fixed on Duan Wenzheng's body, he didn't move away, and he was reluctant to move away.

"En." Li Can responded.

The upper half of the hospital bed was raised, and Duan Wenzheng was lying on it, his face was pale, and a thin layer of stubble grew on his chin.

The four eyes met, Duan Wenzheng took the lead to look down, with a hint of avoidance.

"Come, sit." Duan's father brought Li Can a chair.

"Thank you, Dad." Li Can then looked away and sat down on the chair.

Pulling up Duan's mother, Duan's father said: "You guys talk, let's go eat something and bring you some back by the way."

Duan's mother understood, and went out with Duan's father wisely, leaving space for the two juniors.

As soon as they left, the atmosphere in the ward changed immediately, just like the signs posted in the hospital corridors: Keep quiet.

"The thieves are really ruthless now..." Duan Wenzheng finally spoke, but he didn't dare to look at Li Can when he said this.

Li Can was stunned for a moment, speechless.

If he hadn't heard from Duan Wenxin that Duan Wenzheng had already passed out when Lao Ding arrived, he would have wondered if Duan Wenzheng had discussed with Lao Ding.

"Director Zhao told me everything." Li Can directly exposed his lie.

Duan Wenzheng froze instantly, and after a while, he asked tentatively, "All?"

"All."

A flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and Duan Wenzheng's Adam's apple rolled: "Then... I ran back several times to check on your affairs, but you didn't tell Director Zhao?"

He didn't mention Li Can, he didn't think of this, he frowned and shook his head: "No."

"Oh..." Duan Wenzheng breathed a sigh of relief.

"You shouldn't have come back to see me." Li Can disapproved.

"Yes." Duan Wenzheng looked apologetic, "It shouldn't be."

Li Can knew that he must have misunderstood, so he added: "It's very dangerous for you to do this."

What he said was not to condemn Duan Wenzheng for putting him in danger, what he cared about was Duan Wenzheng's safety.

"It's the same for you." Duan Wenzheng couldn't hide his regret, "I'm sorry, Li Can, I was too selfish, not just this matter, I knew I was going to carry out such a dangerous mission, and I didn't leave before I left. propose to you..."

"You just proposed to me, but you didn't force me." Li Can said plainly.

Now, not only does he not feel that Duan Wenzheng's hasty proposal was a mistake, but he is also faintly grateful for it.

If Duan Wenzheng hadn't proposed marriage back then, and he hadn't agreed, then they would have broken up after being separated for a long time.

Lowering his head, Duan Wenzheng gave a bitter smile.

This kind of consolation can't make him feel better, but after this experience, he deeply realizes his mistakes, the last thing he wants is Li Can's consolation.

He deserved the condemnation of his heart.

"I also want to say sorry to you." Li Can said suddenly.

Duan Wenzheng looked up at him, puzzled.

"I shouldn't have asked you to run to the company to deliver documents to me."

Frowning tightly, Duan Wenzheng disagreed: "Don't be stupid."

"I took a week off." Li Can said to himself, looking straight into Duan Wenzheng's eyes, "I want to take care of you."

Hearing this, Duan Wenzheng was silent for a moment.

"...Li Can, there is no need for this." He said.
