Four years single, three years widowed

Li Can came back from the factory, stepped into the office, and just put down his briefcase when he heard someone knock on the door.

Turning his head and looking at the person who came, Li Can was slightly surprised: "Senior brother?"

Shen Banshu was dressed in a gray suit, with a smile on his lips, and jokingly asked, "Manager Li, can I come in?"

Li Can slightly raised his eyebrows: "Please, Manager Shen."

With consent, Shen Banshu carried a briefcase, walked into the office steadily, and sat on the sofa.

"Do you want coffee?" Li Can asked.

"No need." Shen Banshu waved his hand, "I have already tasted your company's coffee."

Hearing this, Li Can withdrew his steps and sat down opposite him.

"Today, at the invitation of Mr. Li, I came to visit several new paints developed by your R&D department."

Li Can did hear that Li Yaohui invited many companies that he had cooperated with today to show them the newly developed paint, but he did not expect that Xuan would send Shen to accompany him.

Although this matter is not very important, it is still outside the scope of Shen Banshu's responsibilities. The only possibility is that Xuan Zongqiang personally asked him to come.

"Oh, that's right." Li Can didn't intend to ask too much. He didn't want to talk about cooperation based on friendship.Besides, the department he is in charge of is the production department, so it's not his turn to talk about it.

"It's just finished, so I stopped by to see if you're there." Shen Banshu said, "It seems that I'm lucky."

"Brother, if you want to see me, just call me anytime."

"I know you are busy, so I dare not disturb you."

Li Can looked modest: "If you say I'm busy, I'm not as busy as my senior brother."

Xuan's is a decoration company with a larger scale than Li's. Shen Banshu was able to take the position of manager at only 27 years old. Part of it was luck, and the bigger reason was his excellent work ability.

Shen Banshu smiled and shook his head: "Okay, enough polite words." He glanced at the clock on the wall, "Although it's 10 minutes before the lunch break, Manager Li doesn't mind eating with me Have a meal?"

"Of course I don't mind."

The two found a high-rise western restaurant nearby, and the waiter led them through the interior of the restaurant to the open-air place outside.

The huge sun umbrella effectively covered the glare of the sun, and under the shadows, the breeze blew through, which was very pleasant.

The waiter stepped back after ordering, and Shen Banshu picked up the cup, took a sip of water, and started the topic: "I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

"Very good." Li Can replied, "Brother, how about you?"

"I..." Shen Banshu made a fool of himself on purpose, then took out an invitation card from his briefcase, handed it to Li Can, and said, "I'm getting married."

Reaching out to accept the invitation, when Li Can saw the name of another newcomer on it, he immediately confirmed his thoughts. He already understood why Xuan Zongqiang asked Shen Banshu to participate in this new product launch conference.

"Congratulations, senior brother." Li Can congratulated Shen Banshu.

"Thank you."

Xuan Zongqiang's only son, Shen Banshu's marriage partner, Li Can met him once.In my memory, he looked immature and dressed in fashion. Such a young and vigorous young man really didn't look like someone who would be willing to enter the palace of marriage early.

"Xuan Nuo should still be in college, right?" Li Can asked.

"He just graduated this year." Shen Banshu replied.

Like Li Nuannuan, Li Can nodded, lowered his eyelids, and gently stroked the paper invitation with his fingertips.

"Actually, I also think it's too early for Xuan Nuo to get married now." Shen Banshu could easily see his thoughts.

"Brother, don't get me wrong, I'm not unhappy for you." Li Can explained, "I just feel..."

Getting married right after graduation is not a good choice for him now.

"I know." Shen Banshu looked a little helpless, "I didn't agree at first, but Xuan Nuo was very persistent, so in the end I had no choice but to obey him."

"According to senior brother, Xuan Nuo was the one who brought up the matter of marriage?"

"Well, he mentioned it."

This is quite different from Li Can's imagination, he originally thought that getting married was Shen Banshu's idea, if that was the case, he really hoped that Shen Banshu would think more about it for Xuan Nuo.

"I've confirmed with Xuan Nuo many times, he knows what he's doing very well." Shen Banshu looked serious, "I'm also very clear."

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother." Li Can was a little embarrassed.

It's him meddling in other people's business, Shen Banshu and Xuan Nuo have been together for a long time, they love each other, and they won't be separated from each other, there is nothing wrong with obtaining a certificate early and getting married early.

The waiter brought the dishes and interrupted their conversation. Li Can and Shen Banshu arranged their napkins.

After the waiter put down the plate and left, Shen Banshu picked up the knife and fork, and asked with great interest: "Speaking of which, I'm curious, what kind of ecstasy soup did the person in your family pour for you back then, so that you agreed to get married?"

Li Can paused as he cut the steak, he knew that Shen Banshu didn't really want to know the answer when he asked this question, but "reciprocity" so that he wouldn't mind his abruptness just now.

But to say that Duan Wenzheng gave him ecstasy soup is really an exaggeration.

That was a very ordinary day, Duan Wenzheng took him out for dinner, and then a "surprise" came.

Although he pretended to be calm on the surface, in fact, he was very overwhelmed by Duan Wenzheng's sudden marriage proposal. Finally, under the expectant eyes of Duan Wenzheng's family and friends, he nodded in confusion.

"He proposed, and I agreed, it's as simple as that." Li Can said.

"The power of true love." Shen Banshu joked.

Li Can smiled faintly, under the square glass lens, a pair of red phoenix eyes watched the food on the plate.

The sharp blade slashed across, and the browned skin of the beef was scarlet, with traces of blood dripping out.

Li Can inserted a small piece into his mouth and chewed slowly.

Beef can be eaten undercooked. Marriage does not necessarily require love.

After dinner, Shen Banshu was sent away, and Li Can returned to the company to continue working, and he put the invitation in a drawer.

The wedding day is set on the 28th of this month. Before Shen Banshu leaves, he and his family members are welcome to attend.

Li Can just smiled and said nothing, no one can be contacted, where can he find Duan Wenzheng?

After a busy afternoon, Li Can was not in a hurry to leave after get off work, and stayed in the office for a while longer, until nine o'clock in the evening to pack up and go home.

Not feeling very hungry, Li Can simply skipped the evening meal, took a shower, and went to bed.

On the big soft bed, Li Can closed his eyes tightly, breathing slowly, apparently fell asleep.

After a while, he turned over, slowly opened his eyes, looked at the darkness, and pursed his lips.

He hated the night, because it was too dark and quiet, prone to inexplicable depression, and could not escape.

He can't bother others at night. The alternatives are to read a book, watch a movie, or listen to music alone.

However, one person's activities are also what he hates.

It may be that he spent too much time alone since he was a child. After meeting Duan Wenzheng, he resisted all solo activities except work from the bottom of his heart.

Weird, right?

Looking at people who are not close, but longing for company.

Li Can closed his eyes again, lay silently on the bed for a long time, and finally fell asleep.

In the dream, he went to a place he had longed for...

The castle in front of me is like a fairy tale, towering and majestic, while in the distance, the slow rotation of the Ferris wheel and the speed of the roller coaster are in stark contrast.

The surroundings are bustling with laughter and laughter, either with friends or with the whole family, but he is the only one left alone.

Li Can stood where he was, the panic flashed across his face, he felt like a lonely soul who had strayed into the paradise, obviously out of place here.

To hide his embarrassment, he put on a mask of indifference and walked inside.

But the further he went inside, the stronger Li Can's desire to turn around and run away became stronger.No one welcomed him, and even at the scene, he was excluded from the convivial atmosphere.

"Li Can!"

Someone grabbed his arm suddenly, Li Can turned his head.

"Didn't you agree to wait for me at the door?" Duan Wenzheng's eyebrows were knit together.

Li Can was stunned, with a look of disbelief: "...Wen Zheng?"

"What's wrong?" Duan Wenzheng approached, "You don't recognize me in a blink of an eye?"

Duan Wenzheng's face was reflected in his eyes, Li Can couldn't restrain the corners of his lips from rising: "You're back?!"

"If I don't come back, you will disappear!" Duan Wenzheng said.

Li Can immediately defended himself: "I thought I came here alone."

Duan Wenzheng stared: "What nonsense are you talking about? Can I let you come alone?"

Li Can was not afraid of the fierce Duan Wenzheng at all, he raised his eyebrows and shook his head.

"Let's go." Duan Wenzheng took his hand.

"Where are you going?" Li Can hurriedly followed Duan Wenzheng's pace.

"Of course I took you to play!"

The invisible barrier was punctured all of a sudden, all the colors around him became more intense and gorgeous, the haze in Li Can's heart was swept away, and he tightly held Duan Wenzheng's hand.

"I want to play this." Li Can pointed to the jumping machine beside him, eager to try.

Duan Wenzheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the jumping machine, hesitantly.

"You are not afraid, are you?" Li Can pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

Duan Wenzheng snorted, and said disdainfully, "Can I be afraid of this?"

"Then let's play this."

Looking at the jumping machine in the sky again, Duan Wenzheng thought about it, and finally found a reason to decline: "You go up, I won't go, I have to help you hold the glasses."

"You don't need to take it, there is a locker next to it." Li Can lightly proposed a solution.

Duan Wenzheng's eyes were full of helplessness, he gritted his teeth, and risked his life to accompany the gentleman: "OK, OK, go up, go up."

Li Can succeeded, dragging the reluctant Duan Wenzheng, happily boarded the jumping machine.

Not only the jumping machine, but also the pirate ship, fantasy rafting, etc. Li Can and Duan Wenzheng played almost all the facilities in the amusement park.

Li Can was so happy, this was the happiest day in his life, he felt that his words and smiles increased a lot.

"Are you thirsty?" Duan Wenzheng asked.

"Ah."

"I'm going to buy water, you wait for me here." After Duan Wenzheng finished his instructions, he turned around.

Li Can quickly grabbed him with his eyes and hands: "Go together?"

"No need." Duan Wenzheng said, "I'll be back soon."

"I……"

"Be obedient." Duan Wenzheng squeezed Li Can's hand with a hint of tenderness in his voice.

After hesitating for a while, Li Can withdrew his hand and let Duan Wenzheng walk forward, slowly disappearing from his sight.

Time passed by every minute and every second, the crowd gradually thinned out, the night was approaching, and Li Can hadn't waited for Duan Wenzheng to come back.

He became irritable and kept pacing back and forth, but he didn't dare to walk away, he was afraid that Duan Wenzheng would not find him when he came back.

So Li Can could only call out Duan Wenzheng's name over and over again...

"Cancan? Cancan, wake up!"

"Duan Wenzheng..." Li Can's sleepy eyes were hazy, his mind was not clear yet, he couldn't see Duan Wenzheng's face clearly, he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream at this moment, but the despair caused by being left behind again was real.

The words that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time blurted out.

"Let's get a divorce..."
