Beyond friendship is love

After signing the last document, An Shixiao put down the pen in his hand, rubbed his forehead tiredly, and leaned back on the chair behind him.Turning to face the world outside the window, it is already the beginning of the lights.

Where is Shen Mingyan at this time, and what is he doing?

Shen Mingyan completely cut off contact. It has been more than a year, and he has not received a single call or message from Shen Mingyan.

Shen Mingyan is not completely silent. Every time he goes to a place, he will send postcards back to the Shen family. Whenever the Shen family passes the received postcards to him, he will immediately stop and rush to that city. At home, and later abroad, no matter where he was, when he rushed over, Shen Mingyan had already been to a certain place.The two seem to be playing hide and seek, you chase, I hide.

However, An Shixiao didn't think about giving up waiting because of this. He believed that as long as he persisted, the person he loved would definitely come back.

More than half a year ago, Fang You gave birth to a boy, named Shen Xincheng, nicknamed Chengcheng.In the third month after giving birth to the child, Fang You kept his promise and left the child with An Shixiao, and went abroad with Fang's family. A few days ago, he called to say that he had a foreign boyfriend and lived a happy and sweet life.

Xiaocheng grew up a little more like An Shixiao, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, very cute. Both the An family and the Shen family love this little baby. An Shixiao spends a lot of time with the child besides work. After all, the child grows up. The father is an important existence that cannot be absent, and the child is no longer accompanied by the mother, so he naturally pays more attention to the child.

——Yanyan, where are you, do you miss me a little bit, it doesn't matter if you don't, as long as I miss you.However, I really miss you too much.

A ringtone interrupted An Shixiao's thoughts. When he came back to his senses, he found that the phone was ringing. He picked it up and put it to his ear.

"Hey."

"Ah, hey, ah..." On the other end of the phone, there was an intermittent babbling sound, and it didn't take much thinking to know that it was the little baby who couldn't speak yet.

"Chengcheng, what's the matter, baby is so capable, why did you call daddy?" An Shixiao asked in the softest voice.

On the other end of the phone, An Sihe's voice came from a few seconds later.

"An Shixiao, what time is it? Why don't you come back? It's the weekend, don't worry too much. Come back quickly." After speaking, Ka hung up the phone before An Shixiao could reply.

An Shixiao smiled, put the phone in his pocket, tidied up the desktop, stood up and left.

Four months ago, when An Sihe learned that she was pregnant with her second child, she handed over the company to An Shixiao to take care of it.When I went home, I became a young grandmother who was expecting childbirth. On weekends, I would take the child and Zhao Xun back to Anjia for a gathering.

As soon as An Shixiao opened the door of the house, he heard Xiao Chengcheng crying loudly. He threw the briefcase on the sofa in the living room, then took the child in An's mother's arms, hugged him, patted and coaxed him, and saw his son crying Gasping, his tear-stained face flushed red, An Shixiao felt so distressed.

"Little boy, what's the matter, dad is back, don't cry anymore." Holding the child, he paced back and forth in the living room.

"Mom, what's wrong with him? Is he hungry? Why is he crying so hard? Didn't you call me before?"

No matter how coaxed she couldn't stop crying, An Shixiao almost lost her mind.

"I just made milk powder for him to drink." Mother An also followed, teasing the little guy, trying to divert the little guy's attention and forget to cry, but obviously the effect was not obvious.Xiao Chengcheng is usually easy to take care of, except when he is hungry and cries when he urinates, he doesn't like to cry at other times.

"What about my sister?"

"I'm back." As soon as he finished asking, An Sihe came down from the stairs, seeing the child crying so hard, he also came over.

"what happened?"

"I don't know, just now I was having fun by myself, staring at the TV, laughing happily, and suddenly cried. Did you get scared by something?" An's mother was so distressed, she was only half a year old The little grandson can't speak yet, and adults don't understand, so he can only guess anxiously.

"Okay, baby, stop crying, dad will take you to play, okay? Come on, let's go upstairs to play, let's go, Mom, I'll go up to accompany him first, you can eat first, don't wait for me." Ann Shi Xiao hugged the child, took the briefcase and went upstairs.

An's mother could only sigh silently. She loves her grandson, and she loves her son too.For more than a year, how unhappy An Shixiao has been, as a mother, she can see in her eyes, but she can't help it. Shen Mingyan said that she is also in pain. Her son has done excessive things and hurt others. It's a kind of punishment for her heart to fall to what it is now.

She is not saying how much she supports same-sex love, but she has nothing to say if the person her son likes is Shen Mingyan. Like Shen's mother, she treats each other's children as her own. Looking at those who have grown up, they are quite understanding of human nature. If children can be happy, they will also bless them as elders.But now, things seem to have reached a bottleneck, there is no progress, not even news about Shen Mingyan.With so many postcards, what should I do?

An Shixiao's forceful smile, Shen Mingyan's timid retreat.

Even if they want to help, there is nothing they can do. After all, love is a matter between the two of them. If the person involved has a knot in his heart, no matter how hard others try, it will not help.

For more than a year, the atmosphere in Shen and An's families has an indescribable feeling. Without Shen Mingyan, even Ye Qianyu has not been back for more than a year. Hey, the child is grown up and has his own. Concerns and troubles, as an elder, can only be anxious and unable to help.They are old, and they only want their children to be safe and happy, and they are content.They didn't ask for anything else.

It was night, An Shixiao managed to put the child to sleep, and carried him to the nursery, before he had time to eat and take a bath.I wanted to have a good rest, but I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.After much tossing and turning, An Shixiao lifted the quilt and got up, went to the nursery to see Xiao Chengcheng, took the key and went to Shen's house.In order to facilitate An Shixiao's access, the Shen family gave An Shixiao the key to Shen Mingyan's room a year ago.

Opening the door of Shen Mingyan's room, An Shixiao sat down in front of Shen Mingyan's favorite desk and touched the books that Shen Mingyan had touched inch by inch. It seemed that only in this way could he get closer to Shen Mingyan.

Only in the dead of night can he let his thoughts go.An Shixiao touched these books over and over almost greedily, seeing that the book in the corner was covered with some dust, An Shixiao carefully took it off the shelf, wanted to wipe it clean, but when he took it out, In an instant, a key and a bookmark fell out of the book.

Bending down to pick it up, An Shixiao looked at the key, but didn't understand where it was opened. Curiously, he turned the bookmark over, only to find that it was a very finely made bookmark. The photo of the room after falling asleep, as for when it was, An Shixiao doesn't remember or has never seen this photo at all, and there is only one sentence on the front of the bookmark:

This heart is superfluous to you, this love is luxury to me.

The inscription is "Yanxi".

Who is Yanxi?

He put the book back on the shelf, put the bookmark and key on the table, and looked carefully. He couldn't imagine what secret Shen Mingyan was locked in this key, and he couldn't even guess who Yan Xi was?For so many years, it seems that such a person has not appeared by Shen Mingyan's side. Who is it?

Looking around again, An Shixiao found a locked wooden box on the top of the bookshelf. The box was not particularly big, but it was very heavy.He took down the wooden box, picked up the key on the table, turned it lightly, and it opened.

An Shixiao knew that the secret of his secretly looking at Shen Mingyan like this was the behavior of a villain, but his strong curiosity made him unable to control other things. He just wanted to know, who is that Yanxi?What concerned him most was that his photo was bookmarked by this person named Yan Xi, and how could this bookmark be in the hands of Shen Mingyan?Question marks appeared above his head, and he couldn't find the answer. He felt uneasy, and there was a strong voice in his heart telling him to open the box.

Opening the box, another photo of him and Shen Mingyan at the sophomore welcome party was pasted on the inner cover. His hand was on Shen Mingyan's shoulder, and they were very close. Both of them smiled sincerely. How long has An Shixiao not seen Shen Mingyan laugh like that?

Opening the top blank sheet of paper, there are two thick notebooks, a dozen sheets of letter paper full of words, and several literary magazines.He took out the things one by one, and opened the neatly folded letter paper. From the yellowed paper, it can be seen that it has been a few years. The recipient of each letter is An Shixiao, and the signature is Yan Xi.

After reading the words on the letter carefully, An Shixiao felt more and more familiar.Aren't these the love letters he asked Shen Mingyan to write for him back then?how come?Obviously, Shen Mingyan wrote it for him, so why is he the recipient and this stranger named Yanxi?

Opening the notebook, the first page had the words Shen Mingyan, but the second page was actually this person named Yanxi.The same thing is that the words An Shixiao appear on the second page of each book.

An Shixiao endured some indescribable depression and turned to the third page, only to realize that this was Shen Mingyan's diary.

The author has something to say:
