Four years single, three years widowed

I'm late, I'll punish myself with three cups

Li Can kept his promise to Beer, and went back after lunch at Duan's house. During this period, Duan's parents and Duan's mother repeatedly persuaded him to stay, and Duan Wenzheng went into the bedroom early, saying that he wanted to rest.

Li Can didn't know whether he really wanted to rest, he felt that Duan Wenzheng was more like avoiding him.

but why?

Standing up, Li Can approached the fence with a bowl full of dog food, and Beipie, who was playing happily inside, saw it at a glance, and hurriedly threw away the rubber toy he was biting, and clung to the railing with both paws.

Seeing the impatient expression on Bei Bei's face, Li Can was not willing to tease it, and immediately put the dog food basin on the ground.

He must have been extremely hungry, as soon as Li Can withdrew his hand, Bei Bei buried his head in the basin, pointed his little butt at him, and wagged his tail cheerfully.

With a faint smile, Li Can took a few steps back and sat on the sofa directly opposite.

Looking at the appearance of Bei Bei eating, Li Can's mood improved a little bit, but the dark cloud of doubt has always shrouded his head, and it will not disperse for a long time.

Li Can didn't understand, if Duan Wenzheng was still angry because of his unauthorized leave a while ago, he would have been angry for too long.Besides, based on what he knew about Duan Wenzheng, it was completely out of character for Duan Wenzheng to be so angry over such a matter.

"Wow!" Beer, who finished his lunch at flying speed, called out at him.

Li Can woke up from his contemplation in an instant, his pupils gradually focused, and after a long time, he smiled wryly.

Don't make up for it anymore, in fact, you have already guessed it, haven't you?

The truth is that Duan Wenzheng has already seen through his desire to get back together, and he is embarrassed to say so, so he can only reject him in this way.

Yes, Duan Wenzheng was rejecting him.

"Woof!" Bei Bei suddenly called out at him again, jumping up and down inside the fence.

The dog's barking made him unable to continue to immerse himself in the depressed mood, Li Can simply stopped thinking about it, and asked beside him, "Do you want to come out to play?"

"Wow!" Beer happily answered his question.

Bending down to take out Beer, Li Can turned around and got the leash to fasten it, fulfilling its wish.

In the afternoon of the next day, Li Can pretended not to find anything, and went to Duan Wenzheng's house anyway.

The doorbell rang, and it was Duan's mother who opened the door. Duan Wenzheng and Duan's father were nowhere to be seen in the living room. A certain domestic family drama was playing on the TV, and the two characters in it clashed. one.

"I was so engrossed in watching TV that I almost didn't hear the doorbell ring." Mother Duan complained to herself.

With a slight smile on Li Can's lips, he raised his foot and stepped in: "Why is the TV so good?"

"What is it called, what..." Duan's mother thought hard, but unfortunately she couldn't remember it after all, "I forgot the name, but it was played by an old actor, and my surname seems to be Zhang."

Glancing at the TV, Li Can nodded: "Oh, I know."

He couldn't remember the full name of this old actor surnamed Zhang, but he had seen this face before.

"Well, it's him..."

While talking, the plot reached its climax, Mother Duan's attention was once again attracted by the TV, and she sat on the sofa, so fascinated that she forgot to greet Li Can.

"Where's Dad?" Li Can asked.

"I went out to play chess with my friends." Mother Duan couldn't take her eyes off it.

"What about Wen Zheng?"

"In the room." Mother Duan simply replied.

Not wanting to disturb Duan's mother, Li Can walked to the door of Duan Wenzheng's bedroom after getting the answer.

The door of the bedroom was ajar, leaving a narrow gap. Through the gap, Li Can sensed the existence of a second person besides Duan Wenzheng, and the sight was so familiar that he felt a sense of crisis. Before he could calm down, he moved impulsively Push the door open.

In an instant, the scene froze.

The situation inside the house was like this, Duan Wenzheng was leaning on the head of the bed carelessly, with a cigarette in his mouth, Zhang Yan was sitting next to him, holding a lighter in his hand, and was about to light his cigarette.

Li Can's sudden visit obviously frightened Duan Wenzheng and Zhang Yan, they maintained their posture, and no one responded for a while.

Then, Zhang Yan shook his hand, and the little flame went out.

The small flame that went out was like pressing the play button. Duan Wenzheng finally made a move. He hurriedly took down the cigarette from his mouth, his eyes drifted with guilt, and he didn't dare to look directly at Li Can at the door.

And Zhang Yan hurriedly put the lighter into his pocket, and cleared his throat uncomfortably.

With dark eyes, Li Can stared at the cigarette in Duan Wenzheng's hand, not only did not leave, but instead entered the bedroom, found a chair and sat down.

The smoking ban issued due to the injury has not yet been lifted, and Duan Wenzheng is still not allowed to smoke.

The three were silent and stalemate for a while, Zhang Yan was the first to take it no longer: "I'll go out and smoke a cigarette."

At the moment when he was about to step out the door, Duan Wenzheng called to him: "Just smoke here."

Duan Wenzheng obviously has a wicked heart, and he wants to smell second-hand smoke to relieve his addiction if he can't smoke.

Pausing in his tracks, Zhang Yan turned his head, looked at Li Can, and said, "It's not very good."

"It's not good." Li Can said lightly.

Hearing this, Duan Wenzheng didn't dare to say anything more, so Ren Zhangyan left the bedroom.

After he left, the atmosphere in the house didn't improve much. Duan Wenzheng never wanted to talk to Li Can. He lowered his head and played with the cigarette with his fingers.

After a moment of silence, Li Can got up and came to Duan Wenzheng's side, and stretched out his hand towards him.

Duan Wenzheng was stunned, looked up at him, pretending not to understand: "Why?"

"Bring it here." Li Can said in a deep voice.

With an ugly expression, Duan Wenzheng really wanted to resist, but his words were all stuck in his throat, and he didn't have the courage to ignore it at all.

Compared with him, Li Can's will is much firmer, he still stretched out his hand without any wavering.

After struggling for a while, Duan Wenzheng put the cigarette in his palm with great reluctance.

Putting the confiscated cigarette in his pocket, Li Can walked out of the bedroom and returned to the living room, but he didn't see Zhang Yan, that kid might have gone to the bathroom to smoke.

Duan's mother was still watching TV intently, and she didn't come back to herself until Li Can reached for the candy on the coffee table.

"Bring more." Mother Duan boldly grabbed a handful.

"Enough, Mom." Li Can shook his head.

"Don't you not like sweets?" Mother Duan's eyes were full of curiosity, "Why do you want to eat sweets?"

Li Can said, "For Wen Zheng."

"I'm used to him, and I even ordered you to bring him candy."

Smiling, Li Can returned to the bedroom with a few candies without explaining.

When Duan Wenzheng saw him coming back, he just glanced at him, and then looked away.

Li Can knew that Duan Wenzheng was having a temper with him, so not only was he not annoyed, but he wanted to laugh.In the past, it was Duan Wenzheng who coaxed him, but he never expected that one day, it would be his turn to coax Duan Wenzheng.

"Eat candy." Li Can put the candy on the bedside table.

"Don't eat."

"What flavor do you eat?" Li Can turned a deaf ear and asked to himself, "Strawberry? Apple?"

"I won't eat." Duan Wenzheng has a bit of backbone this time.

"Then the orange one." Li Can picked up an orange-flavored candy.

Turning his head, Duan Wenzheng looked at Li Can, and declared fiercely: "I said I won't eat!"

The protest was ineffective, Li Can was expressionless, tore off the packaging of the candy and handed it to him.

Duan Wenzheng became anxious: "Li Can!"

Pursing the corners of his lips, Li Can said in a soft voice, "You can't smoke..."

The Adam's apple rolled, Duan Wenzheng gritted his teeth, took the candy, and poured it into his mouth.

"Crack, crunch." Duan Wenzheng chewed up the candy as if venting his anger.

When Zhang Yan came back from the bathroom after smoking, he heard the sound and asked with a smile, "What's delicious?"

Quickly retracting his soft eyebrows, Li Can regained his indifferent attitude.

"Candy." Duan Wenzheng picked up a random one and threw it to Zhang Yan.

Catching it easily, Zhang Yan glanced at the words on the package, and said sweetly: "Master, you are so amazing! How do you know I want to eat strawberries?"

With just one cigarette, he completely recovered his state.

"Don't flatter me." Duan Wenzheng didn't appreciate it at all.

"I'm serious." Zhang Yan frowned, "Is it true that we have a good understanding?"

Duan Wenzheng shook goose bumps all over his body, and said in one word: "Get lost!"

Zhang Yan didn't take it seriously at all, put the candy that had been torn off the package into his mouth, and exaggeratedly said: "Mmm! Sweet!"

Li Can pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose to hide the coldness in his eyes. In his opinion, Zhang Yan's actions were too naive, but it is undeniable that he was indeed affected by Zhang Yan's mood.

"Take it all back if you like it." Duan Wenzheng pointed to the candy on the bed cabinet.

"Not so good?" Zhang Yan looked at Li Can, "Brother Can bought it for you after all."

"I didn't buy it..." Li Can added clearly, "My parents bought it."

Zhang Yan's face froze, and he was deeply shocked when he heard Duan's father and Duan's mother.

There was some movement in the living room, like the sound of the door opening and closing, presumably Father Duan had returned.

Sure enough, they immediately saw Duan's father hurrying towards the bathroom, passing Duan Wenzheng's room on the way.

"Dad." Li Can deliberately called out.

Duan's father immediately turned his head, and said in a gentle tone: "Cancan is here."

"Ah."

"I just met your Uncle Wang back from fishing downstairs, and he gave me such a big fish." Father Duan gestured with his hand, "I'll steam it later, try it and see if it tastes good."

"Okay." Li Can replied obediently.

Nodding in satisfaction, Father Duan pointed to Zhang Yan by the way: "Zhang Yan also stayed for dinner."

"Thank you, Uncle Duan." The smile on Zhang Yan's face was slightly stiff.

"You're welcome." Father Duan waved his hand and went to the bathroom.

The simple cooking method of fresh fish can stimulate the deliciousness of the taste. The fish was delicious, but Zhang Yan didn't seem to be very interested, so he left immediately after eating.

On the contrary, Li Can was in high spirits, and could even say a few more words than usual, and sat with Duan's father and Duan mother in the living room for a while, until Duan Wenzheng went back to the room on crutches.

Raising his hand, Li Can glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "I'm going to the toilet."

After going to the toilet, he should go back.

"Well, let's go." Father Duan peeled the orange while watching the news broadcast.

The faucet was running, and Li Can washed his hands carefully, then took out a paper towel, and walked out of the bathroom while drying.

His destination was the living room, but unfortunately, the conversation between Duan's mother and Duan Wenzheng in the bedroom came to his ears through the door panel, which made him stop.

"In my opinion, Cancan definitely wants to start over with you."

"Mom, you think too much."

"Why do I think too much? He asked for leave to take care of you before, and he often came to see you after work. He even picked you up and left the hospital yesterday. If he didn't have that idea, why did he come so often? You really think he's okay do it?"

"He often comes to see me because he feels that he is partly responsible for my injury, and Li Can just feels guilty towards me."

"……I do not believe."

"Whether you believe it or not, I'm telling the truth anyway."

"What about you? Even if Cancan only feels guilty towards you, can't you take this opportunity to make some efforts to try to save him? Let me tell you Duan Wenzheng, you can still see him now. After a while, I will Let's see what reason you can find to see him."

"I won't look for him in the future..." Duan Wenzheng said, "I've already put it down."
