He can play whatever I like

The excitement in front of me finally ended, and the grandparents and grandchildren who were dancing in the square all led their grandchildren home.

It was already dark, and Shen Du was still sitting on the bench in that small park, with several empty beer bottles and cans poured beside him, until the phone rang.

With his eyelids lowered, with a slightly drunken blur, he scanned the caller number on the phone screen, and then quickly answered it.

In sharp contrast to his quick movements, there was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

He didn't rush, just holding the phone and listening quietly, listening to the heavy and suppressed breathing in the receiver.

"Shen Du." After a long time, Xiao Sa finally opened his mouth with difficulty, his voice was low and hoarse, "Zou Yun——"

"Gone."

For this result, Shen Du was not surprised. He sighed a long time, and was about to say a few words of comfort, but he heard intermittent sobs coming from the receiver of the mobile phone.

Unfamiliar, restrained, vulnerable.

"I couldn't find him... I finally...lost him..."

Shen Du held the phone, this time the silent party was replaced by himself, he couldn't say a word for a long time.

He has been waiting in this small park near the company because he expected that Xiao Sa has no one to turn to for help. At this time, Xiao Sa can only find him; he has been holding his mobile phone, just waiting for Xiao Sa's call, thinking But he felt incredible, because if it was the Xiao Sa he knew, it would be impossible to find him.

From childhood to adulthood, he has helped Xiao Sa many times, and in the face of countless choices, he finally stood with Xiao Sa.

But there wasn't any one of these times, it was Xiao Sa who begged him on his own initiative.

Xiao Sa also helped him many times, and likewise, he never asked for it.

This seems to have become a kind of tacit understanding between them for more than ten years. They have never made too many demands on each other, and they will not use the so-called friendship to kidnap each other morally, begging each other for help or compromise——

They are all used to this way of getting along, and if the other party is willing, they will naturally stand behind them.

And now Xiao Sa's phone call was already his last, desperate call for help after his fragile self-esteem collapsed.

But Shen Du couldn't believe that the person who said "I lost him" in a choked voice could be Xiao Sa whom he had known for more than ten years.

That's Xiao Sa...

When he saw Xiao Sa for the first time in that man-eating villa, he felt that the child was like a lone wolf——

Cold, withdrawn, vicious, decisive.

At that time, Xiao Sa was still very young, not tall, even a little thin, and he hadn't finished replacing his deciduous teeth, and he was knocked out in a fight, and his face was covered with blood; but he would still struggle to get up from the ground. Get up, even if he knows that standing up will continue to be beaten, he will not lie on the ground and pretend to be dead.

At that time Shen Du felt that the child was too stupid——

When he got up to fight back, he could only get a punch from someone else at most, but what was waiting for him was the double punches of seven or eight people.

Until later when Shen Du saw Xiao Sa being "educated" by Xiao Zhenfeng on the iron frame, under the belt and bamboo strips, he was asked to admit that he was wrong; will cry.

At that time, Shen Du finally understood that Xiao Sa was not stupid, he just would never bow his head or let anyone see his fragility.

But now, although the sobbing voice on the other end of the phone has been restrained as much as possible, it is so obviously fragile.

Shen Du couldn't understand what kind of weird and terrifying love is, which can make people like Xiao Sa feel weak.

As a friend, he knew that maybe he should comfort him at this time, but he knew better that there was no need for those hypocritical greetings between him and Xiao Sa.

"The resident population of Guanhai City is close to 500 million, and there are even more migrants. Isn't it normal that you can't find a single person?"

Putting away the old foolishness and cynicism, his voice was deep and even cold.

The company is still in the tug-of-war between Xiao Sa and Xiao Zhenfeng, now is the most critical moment, Xiao Sa has collapsed, and he needs to calm down even more.

"You know that Zou Yun is avoiding you now, but apart from running around like a headless chicken, have you made any other efforts to 'find him'?"

"Xiao Sa—"

"Find a mirror and take a good look at yourself, what you look like now."

"Don't make me look down on you."

Unsurprisingly, soon there was a busy tone from the handset of the phone after hanging up.

At first, because he drank half a can of beer, he couldn't drive back to his villa in the suburbs, and he didn't want to stay in a hotel, so he ran to the small park near the company to sober up, but he never thought that he would not be able to sober up and drive away. He also drank the half dozen beers he bought just now.

Judging by the alcohol content in his body now, don't even think about being able to drive away tonight; since the hotel is still taboo, he can only go back to the company to deal with it for one night.

Before returning to the office, he saw that the light on Xiao Sa's side was also on.

After entering the house, he contacted the person who was sent to Guanhai Yipin to watch, and confirmed that the driver Xiao Sa had arranged for Zou Yun had also fed the cat at home at night, and brought out a bag of garbage, which was cat litter.

Some answers seem to be on the verge of coming out, and his previous guess should not be wrong——

Tang Tang might leave him alone, but at least he won't leave Zou Yun behind.

He sat on the sofa in silence for a long time, and finally dialed the number——

The owner of the number was supposed to be on the flight to Seattle, but instead of shutting down the phone, he picked it up quickly.

"Hello - Zou -"

Tang Tang answered the phone so fast that he probably didn't even have time to look at the calling number.

Shen Du knew that Tang Tang was probably waiting for someone's call, before the other party could say the name, he hung up the phone, looked at the row of wine cabinets in front of him, got up and poured himself a glass.

Different from the twilight style in Xiao Sa's office left by Xiao Zhenyun, his office was redecorated by himself, and there was a whole side of a strong wine cabinet; he didn't know how much he drank until he collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep. past.

It wasn't until the next morning when he was hurriedly woken up by the secretary that he realized how wise his decision yesterday was.

If he had driven back to his villa in the suburbs yesterday, he would never be in time to stop Xiao Sa from affixing the official seal on the share transfer agreement at the last moment.

It's all too magical.

In the past ten years, he did not know how many times he persuaded Xiao Sa to give up, let Xiao Zhenfeng let go, and let himself go, but Xiao Sa never wavered even in the slightest; When he succeeded, Xiao Sa almost gave up everything.

He watched with his own eyes the cold, arrogant and stubborn young man pinching the official seal with a blank expression, finally bent down, lowered his head, and muttered in his mouth——

"I just want him to return Zou Yun to me."

Afterwards, he reluctantly threw out the evidence that Zou Yun had not disappeared but was with Tang Tang, which he found last night, and Xiao Sa's expression finally recovered.

Three days after that, he finally found out the current addresses of Zou Yun and Tang Tang.

He didn't dare to imagine that the meeting between Xiao Sa and Tang Tang would be peaceful and harmonious, but he never wanted to fight. The two always fight when they meet, and he is always the one who gets hurt in the end.

Tang Tang finally noticed him when he supported the shoe cabinet behind him and barely stood up straight.

Xiao Sa also noticed, as well as the awkward avoiding eyes between him and Tang Tang.

He didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, but he suddenly looked like a sinner at this moment.

They are also sandwiched between Xiao Sa and Tang Tang, everyone is feeling sorry for Zou Yun, even himself——

After a brief contact with Zou Yun, even he would feel that people like Zou Yun are naturally distressed.

Only he seemed to have done nothing, and seemed to have done a lot, but it was all wrong.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, Tang Tang finally asked him awkwardly——

"Are you okay?"

"...I... have medicine in the room..."

At that time, he was holding back his unexplainable anger and ignored Tang Tang, but after Xiao Sa slammed the door and left, he looked at the other party's trembling shoulders, looked at the other party's red eyes and begged himself——

"I beg you...Shen Du...Zou Yun...Zou Yun can't do anything..."

He finally forgave everything.

After Xiao Sa left, he turned back to look at the door of Tang Tang's room. The door was ajar, as if he was waiting for someone, but he didn't know who he was waiting for.

But he didn't open the door and go in.

In countless choices, he chose to stand by Xiao Sa's side. This time, he still couldn't ignore Xiao Sa who had to support the wall just now to barely maintain his standing, and pushed open the door of Tang Tang's room.

So when Xiao Sa was at a loss and was on the verge of collapse, he still calmly dispatched people to watch Tang Tang's every move, and finally found Zou Yun's trace.

On the drive there, he tried his best to keep himself relaxed, as usual, but when the vehicle pulled into the familiar country road, even he couldn't continue acting.

Xiao Sa and his destination always seemed to be the man-eating villa.

He could vaguely feel that this time when Xiao Sa finds Zou Yun, he will completely jump out of that cage. He is the only one who has nowhere to go.

After parking the car, he arrived following the voice of the people, but he was still a step late after all.

It was still a familiar scene in front of me. Two men punched each other in the open space of the room without any fighting skills at all. It was more like a catharsis of hatred between beasts; while Zou Yun shrank in the corner and hugged each other tightly. Looking at himself, he repeated "stop hitting" in a low voice.

Even seeing this scene made him feel distressed.

Finally, he was the one who stopped the childish and stupid behavior of these two men.

He watched Xiao Sa pick up Zou Yun, and also saw Tang Tang's furious obstruction——

Everything is ridiculous.

"Zou Yun—"

Seeing the back of Xiao Sa leaving with his arms around Zou Yun, Tang Tang finally couldn't help but chased him out.

Shen Du almost instinctively stepped forward to stop him, but was pushed to the ground by Tang Tang again.

"Shen Du!" Tang Tang roared loudly: "I said that you are the one who is responsible for you, but you don't want it! What else do you think of me!"

"Heh—" Although the posture of falling to the ground was awkward, Shen Du's expression of peach blossom eyes was still contemptuous, "Fuck you 'responsible'."

The third time.

He thought, and couldn't help but smile wryly.

"Since I, Shen Du, dare to come out to play, I can afford it."

Tang Tang is too tall, he rarely needs to raise his face like this to see people clearly.

He could clearly see the guilty conscience in Tang Tang's eyes, but when the sound of the car started again, Tang Tang left him and ran downstairs.

"Tang Tang!" He shouted to Tang Tang's back: "No matter what happened, as long as the two of them don't break up for a day, you are the third party who can't see the light!"

No matter what happened between Xiao Sa and Zou Yun, as long as they did not break up for a day, Tang Tang's identity would always be an embarrassing, embarrassing third party.

And he himself knew from the very beginning that Tang Tang liked Zou Yun. Although he didn't know why, his own identity was even more disgusting——

A third party's third party.

Even if it's just a mistake.

Everyone will eventually have their own life and find their own irreplaceable, even if they are as withdrawn as Xiao Sa.

He is the only one who will always be outside of everyone's life, as if no matter where he goes, he is the redundant third party.

He couldn't help feeling a sore nose, and turned his head away, not wanting to see Tang Tang's back again.

"Xiao Sa doesn't know how to eat people, so give them one last bit of time."

When Tang Tang turned his head, he felt in a daze for a moment, because he saw Shen Du's reddened eyes.

Those peach blossom eyes should always be contemptuous, or smiling.

The Shen Du in memory has never been like this.

For a moment, he seemed to feel that something in his chest was pulling him.

He doesn't think this feeling is distressed, because in the past, he often felt distressed about Zou Yun, the pain was so painful that his heart was pulled up, and it was different from the feeling now.

He only knew that this feeling was very strange, and it suddenly made him unable to move.

Hearing the roar of the engine outside the house gradually fade away, he felt some inexplicable guilt. He didn't know whether it was towards Zou Yun or Shen Du; but the honest reaction of his body still led him up the stairs and back to Shen Du's room. around.

Zou Yun's natural innocence and fragility can make everyone feel distressed, but he can't explain why, when he looked at Shen Du standing by the stairs, there was no romantic contempt in his peach eyes anymore. His expression was replaced by loneliness and loneliness, as if he needed to be protected more.

Shen Du quietly leaned against the edge of the handrail of the stairs. He closed his eyes until he heard footsteps and raised his head to find that Xiao Sa was already standing beside him.

"Let's find a place to have a drink."

He heard Tang Tang say softly.

The author has something to say: I will finish this episode in the next few days, sorry for the long wait.
