Didn't you say it's a fake marriage?

01/Heavy rain

There was a torrential rain in Kyoto at the end of July, and the rain was splashing on the window glass. The female voice on the radio repeated over and over again, "Citizens should try to reduce travel as much as possible in the rainy weather."Wen Li woke up and saw the gloomy weather outside, so he hung a "Closed Business" sign at the door of the store.

It was at this time that Zheng Lijun came over with an umbrella, walking in a hurry, describing himself as a mess, the umbrella was blown to one side by the strong wind, and his clothes were half wet.

"Why are you here? It's raining so hard."

When Zheng Lijun entered the room, his hair was still dripping, and he was lonely under the umbrella. Wen Li went to the lounge to get a dry towel and handed it to him, expressing his puzzlement.

"You're getting married?"

"Yes."

"When is the wedding date?"

"Next Saturday."

"In such a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry, my mother is in a hurry."

The topic came to an abrupt end here, Wen Li glanced at Zheng Lijun who was suddenly silent, and said with a smile: "I came here on a rainy day just to ask about this? Is it different on the phone?"

"I forgot for a moment." Zheng Lijun said.

He dried his hair, and Wen Li brought him the spare clothes in the store to change into: "The weather forecast says that the rain will not stop tonight, and you may have to stay here all night."

Zheng Lijun was annoyed: "Neglected."

Wen Li runs a coffee shop, the shop is not small, because it is usually open 24 hours a day, and there is also a staff dormitory. If he does not go back, he will live in the shop.

After tidying up a bed for Zheng Lijun, it was completely dark outside. When Wen Yue came out of the lounge, he saw Zheng Lijun strolling around the workbench, playing with a new coffee machine in the shop with great interest.

"Why did you get married suddenly? There is no news at all." Zheng Lijun asked.

Although he is four years older than Wen Li, the two are genuine university classmates.After graduating, I originally discussed starting a business together, but because of a small accident, it was settled.Afterwards, Zheng Lijun joined a securities company in Kyoto, and Wen Yue came to Kyoto to open a coffee shop a few years later, and then a chance encounter made the relationship between the two of them become closer again.

"My mother is in a hurry." Wen Li replied invariably.

"Who is the other party? I haven't seen you dating recently."

"I heard that he is a doctor. I met him on a blind date. I thought he was pretty good, so I made a decision." Wen Li answered casually, and he didn't seem to care about the marriage at all. He even felt more distressed about being played by Zheng Lijun. The coffee machine, "Don't mess it up, I bought it for a lot of money, it's very expensive."

"I heard?!" Zheng Lijun's jaw dropped in shock, "Don't you know anything about him?"

"It's just perfunctory parents."

"Marriage is no child's play."

"I don't want to, but looking at my mother, it seems that if I don't get married, I will never give up. Every day, it is her last wish to see me getting married. The doctor said that she will only have one year at most, so she is happy. .”

Zheng Lijun was silent, and finally said: "You just decide."

-

Wen Li sleeps too much during the day, and can't sleep at night.The rain outside was still falling, splashing, and it didn't seem to stop at all.It was already 02:30 in the morning, Zheng Lijun's voice came through the half-closed door, Wen Li sat on the sofa outside and listened silently, quite helplessly.

He slept soundly.

Once people have nothing to do, they tend to think wildly. Wen Yue turned on a small yellow light, which can only illuminate a little distance in front of him.He went on a blind date three days ago, got his certificate two days ago, and discussed the wedding date yesterday. Yao Wenlan was in a good mood, and she chose a wedding date for him with great interest, saying that next Saturday would be a once-in-a-lifetime event in 20 years. The day, the wedding must be held on that day.

Wen Li didn't care, he asked Cheng Mosheng - that is, his blind date partner's opinion, the other party said he could cooperate, and the family didn't have any objections.

The blind date was decided by Wen Yue himself, and Yao Wenlan was still kept in the dark. The news she received was that Wen Yue and Cheng Mosheng had been talking for more than half a year, but they never told her.

Yao Wenlan blamed Wen Li for not telling her earlier, which caused her to worry for so long, dreaming about Wen Li's marriage, but at the same time, she was happy that her son could find a support for the rest of her life, so she ate half a bowl of rice that day.

On the day of the blind date, the weather was not good, and it was raining lightly.Wen Yue and Cheng Mosheng made an appointment at a high-end restaurant, and the per capita consumption level of four digits was rarely involved in Wen Yue.It's not that he doesn't have money, it's just that he has never been used to the taste here, nor the environment inside.

He said at the beginning of the article that he has no plans to get married, and everything is forced by his family. After all, he doesn't really want to start a family, but just wants to fulfill a wish that Yao Wenlan had before he left.She is a miserable woman who fell in love with a man but could not get a marriage certificate, nor did she have the wedding of her dreams, only her heart and children abandoned by the man.After finally getting a better life, I suffered from a terminal illness called pancreatic cancer. The remaining days were less than 365 days, and I had to be accompanied by the disease day and night.

He thought that if the other party was persuaded to leave, he would find another family. There would always be people who didn't want to get married like him but had to.Sometimes Wen Yue thinks that life is boring, and that at the age of 30, he can't control his own life.

There are really too many unknowns in this world.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Mosheng had the same idea as him, also forced by his family, but frowned slightly when he heard about the one-year agreement period.

"Is there any problem?" Wen Yue asked.

If it weren't for Yao Wenlan, he wouldn't let a marriage restrict him. He had suffered too much before, and he had long since lost hope for marriage.

He thought that Cheng Mosheng felt that one year was too long, and it would not be impossible to shorten it appropriately. He should pay more attention to two or three months, and it would not be difficult to hide it from Yao Wenlan.

"It's okay, let's leave it at that." Cheng Mosheng didn't raise any objections, he ignored the frown, he seemed very satisfied with the agreement proposed by Wen Li.

The two added WeChat and exchanged contact information, although the chat dialog box still stayed at [I passed your friend verification request, now we can start chatting].

Wen Yue stayed on the sofa until dawn.

There is a matching washroom in the lounge, and new disposable toiletries are replaced on the sink every day.This is not the first time for Zheng Lijun to sleep here. He is very familiar with finding things. When he came out after brushing his teeth and washing his face, he wanted to ask Wen Li what he had for breakfast. Dozing off with cheeks on.

"Why are you sitting outside?" He went over and patted Wen Li on the shoulder.

Zheng Lijun's movements were not serious, Wen Li rubbed his eyes in a daze, before his consciousness returned, he said habitually: "Good morning."

Zheng Lijun was helpless: "What's for breakfast?"

"There are leftover steamed buns I ate yesterday in the small refrigerator."

"Just let me eat the leftovers! The sky is clear, and if you say what you want to eat, I'll go out and buy it."

"what time is it now?"

"It's just after seven."

"Oh." Wen Yue nodded.

He had only slept for less than an hour.

It was true that the sound of the rain could not be heard anymore, Wen Li yawned, and walked towards the resting room: "Just buy your own share, and help me look around the shop by the way, I want to go back to sleep, I only slept for an hour last night, and I was so sleepy."

"One hour? Wen Li, you cultivated immortality last night!"

After Zheng Lijun yelled, he felt wrong again: "Don't sleep yet! Why can I help you look after the store while buying food!"

"Order takeout."

What was left to Zheng Lijun was the sound of closing the door, and then Wen Li's voice came: "Someone will take over after eight o'clock, you can leave when someone comes."

-

Wen Yue didn't wake up until twelve o'clock at noon.

After waking up, he was still groggy. He touched his forehead, it was a little hot, maybe he had a low-grade fever.After searching for a long time in the drawer in the lounge, he still couldn't find the antipyretics, so Wen Li planned to go out and ask the other shop assistants if they knew where they put them.

"Three cups of American style. I ordered on the mini program. The order number is B307." As soon as I went out, I bumped into someone who came to pick up the meal. Wait a moment~”

"Doctor Zhao, are you here to buy coffee again?" Wen Li greeted the visitor.

"Shop Manager Wen, are you here too? There is a major surgery in the afternoon, and my colleagues all asked me to buy a drink to refresh myself."

Wen Li smiled, and said to the clerk again: "Xiao Min, do you know where the antipyretics are in the lounge?"

"Anti-fever medicine? Last time I saw Brother Zhang took it, and when I went to clean it up, it seemed to be put in the cabinet. Oh, by the way, I put it in the lounge where I usually stay overnight."

"Okay." Wen Yue nodded, and went back to look for medicine.

Doctor Zhao got the Mocha and left, Wen Li took the medicine with a cup of hot water and drank it.There were not many customers in the store, so it was still relatively idle, so Xiao Min took the opportunity to be lazy and chatted with Wen Li with a smile: "Boss, do you know the one who just came to buy coffee?"

"You mean Dr. Zhao?"

"Yeah." Xiao Min nodded straight.

Dr. Zhao is a regular customer in the store, but Xiao Min came here not long ago, this is the first time she met: "He is so handsome, he looks like a middle-aged man, of course he is still a little worse than you, Boss." Bit by bit!"

"You are poor. I am not a middle-aged man."

"Yes, yes, I didn't mean that you are a middle-aged man, boss, I mean that he is a little less handsome than you!" Xiao Min made a distance between his index finger and thumb.

Wen Li laughed: "He is a doctor from a nearby hospital. He is almost forty, much older than you. And the baby is seven or eight years old, don't think about it, work hard."

Xiao Min sighed: "Handsome men are always someone else's."

Wen Li wanted to say something more, when the phone in his pocket vibrated, he put the cup on the table, took out the phone from his pocket, it turned out that Cheng Mosheng sent him a message on WeChat.

【My parents want to have a meal with you, do you have time tonight? 】

Wen Li glanced at the planned events on the calendar, and replied.

【Have time. 】
