kind of bend me

Shen Xu pressed the answer button, and Aunt Li's voice rang in his ears.

"Xiaoxu, are you at home? Let me tell you something. Wan Chen went on a business trip to T city today, and I thought of you. Let him bring you something by the way. It's nothing good. I made it all myself. You eat slowly, oh, since it’s all at your place, let him stay at your place for a few days, don’t bother you... How good you two were before, even though we have lost contact for so many years, I still hope that in the future You guys can get closer, you grew up together, no matter what, you are better than outsiders... You, it’s true, others want to get close to him, but you haven’t called for so many years, if you are always by your side I have to ask Wanchen to find you a good job no matter what I say... There is nothing to be embarrassed about, he is just like your own brother..."

The man turned his head slowly, under the snowflakes all over the sky, a face engraved in his mind was impressively clear.

Wanchen...

Shen Xu closed his eyes, suppressed his anger, hung up the phone, and stood there for a while before taking a step forward.

Every step is heavy.

He didn't understand, why Wan Chen still came to see him, why Wan Chen still wanted to bring back that bad relationship?

After ten years of ups and downs in the business world, Wan Chen's eyes have become sharper, with shrewdness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He is a standard elite. In the near future, he will stand on a higher stage and look down on him who is as small as an ant.

They should never meet again.

Standing in front of him, Shen Xu raised his eyes and looked at him, the heavy snow could not block that person's anxious gaze.

Twelve years later, they have fine lines around their eyes, their skin is no longer smooth, and the years have eroded their faces, bodies, including their restless hearts.

12 years later, they are already passers-by.

Hot water was boiled in the kitchen, Shen Xu leaned against the refrigerator and propped his forehead worrying about the next meeting.

An uninvited guest sat on the sofa in the living room. After looking around curiously, his eyes stayed on the photo album under the coffee table.

He glanced in the direction of the kitchen, reached out and opened the photo album.

What caught my eye was an old photo, a happy family portrait.

Shen Xu's sincere smile stayed there.That is the carefree, sunny and straightforward that can never be found again.

The stern Uncle Shen and the tolerant and loving Aunt Lin next to him made Wan Chen's heart pricked hard, and he quickly turned the page.

Shen Xu grew up little by little, although he still had a smile, but he was no longer pure.

In the first two years, there were more photos, and in the past few years, there are fewer and fewer photos. Occasionally, there will be a few photos with children. He is wearing a vest, big pants, and flip-flops, like a wretched middle-aged uncle.

The corner of Wan Chen's mouth twitched into a faint smile.

The sound of water pouring came from the kitchen, and he closed the photo album.

Shen Xu brought out two cups of tea, one was placed in front of him, and he sat on the sofa next to him, he didn't even know what to say to break the current stiff atmosphere.

Wan Chen opened the suitcase and took out some wrapped snacks and put them on the coffee table, "My mother heard that I was going on a business trip to T City, and the fried ones were all the little fruits you used to love, and she would let me know whatever she said. I'll bring it to you." Opening one of the bags, he smiled and said, "Try it."

Shen Xu raised his eyes to look at him, Wan Chen was still the same Wan Chen, but became even more unpredictable.

He picked up a small snack and put it in his mouth. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and delicious. Aunt Li's craftsmanship has not deteriorated at all. This is a taste that has not been tasted for many years.

Shen Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip. The warm water entered his stomach, and many complicated emotions settled down.

He said: "Aunt Li told you about your business trip. Wan Chen, you've become a vice president. Living in a hotel should be more comfortable than living in my small house of tens of square meters!"

Wan Chen: "It's really bothering you. My parents want me to see your living environment. They also hope that we can get closer as before."

Shen Xu's eyes met Wan Chen's. That person was indeed a mix-up in the business world. His eyes were calm and the smile on his mouth made it difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

Near noon, Sibao hastily closed the store and rushed into his house.

As soon as I entered the room, I found that the two people sitting on both sides had no expressions on their faces. There was a pile of food on the table, and the atmosphere was very weird.

This was completely different from what he had imagined. Hearing that the person who came was Shen Xu's classmate, he thought he should go out for a big meal at noon.

Shen Xu looked up at him, "The door is closed?"

Sibao nodded blankly, "No, are you going out to eat?"

Wan Chen got up and smiled, "Go out to eat, you find a place, I'll treat you."

Sibao smiled, "How can I let you treat me, you have come to our site, I promise to let you eat and drink well today." He slapped the person who was sitting still on the sofa, "Hey, let's go, you are still stupid What are you doing sitting there!"

Shen Xu got up, took off his coat and wallet, and went out with the two of them.

They went to a not too low-grade restaurant on Xinghu Road. The fish here is very authentic. When He Lei and He Lei came, the baby at home pretended to find the bathroom and slipped into the back kitchen to watch the recipe and the production process. .

During the meal, Sibao pretended to be the host as usual, and chatted enthusiastically with Wanchen.

Wan Chen participated in the whole process of Shen Xu's childhood and adolescence, and those past events were kept in his mind one by one.

He even remembered that the eight-year-old Shen Xu fought with him because of a Warwick biscuit, and the ten-year-old Shen Xu swam and won a Sky brand watch and ran to him to show off.

He remembered all the details of these things, and when he said them now, to Shen Xu's ears, it felt like a lifetime away.

He almost forgot everything that happened 20 years ago.

And that, the person who hated him to the bone, how could he still remember.

Sibao sighed, "Brother Wan, you know Brother Xu too well, you must have had a good relationship back then, it's really enviable, why didn't I have such a childhood sweetheart."

Wan Chen smiled, "When I was young, I didn't have a good relationship with him. It was almost three days a small fight and five days a big fight. However, after the fight, we can get tired of being together again. Maybe this is the childhood sweetheart you mentioned. Well, some fate can never be broken."

Wan Chen's gaze moved over, and Shen Xu automatically filtered it.

After eating, when Shen Xu went to pay the bill, the cashier said that it had already been paid.

After coming out of the hotel, the snow had stopped, and the whole city of T was covered with white snow, showing a kind of pure beauty.

In the taxi, the driver kept looking at Wanchen from the rearview mirror, Sibao laughed and teased, "Master, what are you looking at? My buddy is not a star."

Master also smiled, "It just looks familiar."

Before the traffic light, the master slammed on the brakes and turned his head abruptly, "You, are you that one, Wen Xuan, Wen Xuan's husband."

Wan Chen's complexion changed, his brows were lowered, and Sibao turned around in surprise, "Brother Wan, are you married? Wen... Xuan... Damn, no way, is that Wen Xuan?!"

The driver nodded vigorously, "Yes, that's Wen Xuan. I saw it in a magazine a few days ago. You're right, haha... I didn't expect..."

The driver was always agitated, the Four Treasures were immediately petrified, Wan Chen's complexion changed from blue to white, from white to black, and it changed back and forth, it was really beautiful.

Shen Xu tilted his head and covered his face, pretending to look out of the window, almost bursting out of laughter.

What's so good about finding a celebrity wife, no matter how successful you are, you will always be called "XX star's lover"

This point, I am afraid that the shrewd Wan Chen did not count.

After returning home, Shen Xu went into the guest room to tidy up.

In fact, there is nothing to clean up. He Lei has just left, and the sheets and quilts have not been put away, so they can live in directly.

but……

Shen Xu committed hypocrisy, he just didn't want to use the new green grass bed sheet that He Lei had used for the quilt.

He pulled it up and held it to his nose to smell it, and there was still the smell of He Lei on it, which lingered for a long time.

He was afraid that that person would spoil the smell.

Pulling out the washed old sheets from the closet and re-laying them, he walked out of the guest room.

"Just live in this room, and tell me if you need anything."

When Shen Xu walked past him, Wan Chen called out, "Shen Xu."

Shen Xu paused, turned his head and waited for his next words.

Wan Chen hesitated for a moment, but finally said nothing.

Looking around for simple rooms, nothing else but beds and some worn out furniture.

Just like Shen Xu's life, simple and casual.

In the evening, Wan Chen finished his work on the computer, rubbed his brows, got up and walked out of the house.

The door of the master bedroom was open, but Shen Xu was not there, so he took this opportunity to look around.

The integral cabinets in the kitchen are cheap things from many years ago. The bathroom is not big, and the wet and dry are not separated. The toiletries are for one person.

The dining room is very small, just a small area extending from the kitchen, and the living room is not too big, there is no space for a sofa and a TV.

There is a 1.5-meter bed in the master bedroom, a large wardrobe next to it, and a computer desk near the window.

Shen Xu's home is just like many small families in this world, they use the most common things, which can never be considered exquisite.

He thought of his [-]-square-meter high-end apartment in the city center, luxurious and luxurious furnishings, but always exuded a cold atmosphere.

Shen Xu's small shop sells a lot of miscellaneous things, but they are all children's supplies, including large and small toys, paintings, and school supplies. There are a few rocking cars and coin-operated game machines outside the shop.

Wan Chen walked to the door of the small shop, and heard the voices of Shen Xu and Sibao next door.

Sibao: "I checked it online, my dear, it's really that Wan Chen, you can marry Wen Xuan as a wife, your classmate is too awesome."

Shen Xu: "..."

Sibao: "Hey, you can help me to ask, when will they hold their wedding, I will also go to contribute some money, maybe I can meet a lot of big stars."

Shen Xu: "You think that people like them will get your usual two hundred and three hundred money, just wait for someone to kick you out!"

Sibao: "Damn it, you're still the vice president of BIC, you're a classmate with a lot of background, Shen Xu, what do you think you're doing with this small shop, hurry up and make connections, get you in and just give it to a small boss." Do it, and one year will be enough for you to eat and drink spicy food."

Shen Xu: "I despise you."

Sibao: "To be honest, the two of you were really just neighbors before? As a vice president, he can't stay in the hotel on a business trip and come to your kennel. Could it be that... he has an affair!"

Wan Chen leaned against the door without making a sound, listening to Shen Xu's answer.

Shen Xu sighed, and said helplessly: "Be careful, his heart is black, let him hear you black him, jump into your yard in the middle of the night, grinning grinningly and strangle you to death. Really, he really can do it If you have no money or potential to climb into that kind of seat, you think his hands can really be clean. You have to step on the corpses of many people to climb up. In short, I advise you, don't get close to him, don't offend people with a word one day You were killed for no reason. I wanted to offer you a stick of incense, but I didn’t even know which pit you were buried in. We ordinary people should stay away from that kind of upper-class people!”
