At eleven o'clock at noon, Zhao Sibei landed at the airport in Heshi.Yang Ke came to pick him up alone.

When he came to Heshi this time, firstly, he had an academic invitation, and secondly, he learned that his son and Yu Zhinian had registered their marriage, so he wanted to take this opportunity to meet them.

Yang Ke didn't bring a driver and drove by himself.

His car was much more luxurious than Zhao Sibei's. He should have been to the company in the morning and was dressed very formally, but he took off his suit jacket and left it in the back seat.

When Zhao Sibei saw Yang Ke wearing a wedding ring on the ring finger of his left hand holding the steering wheel, his mind felt as if it had been a lifetime away. Yang Ke was babbling, and the picture of him going to school and picking him up from the villa every month was still yesterday , In the blink of an eye, Yang Ke became an adult who seemed to be able to take charge of himself.

And he himself, from a young father whose father-in-law failed to fight for custody, came to an age when he was troubled by cramps and back pain every morning.

"Where's Zhinian?" Zhao Sibei asked Yang Ke.

Yang Ke answered very simply: "At school."

Zhao Sibei carefully observed his son's expression, and there was no trace of worry.However, before coming to Heshi, he had already heard about the dispute over trust shares among Deqin shareholders, and read several reports, so his mood was still complicated.

More than two years ago, after learning that Yang Ke and Yu Zhinian were living together, Zhao Sibei, as his father, made up his mind to have a heart-to-heart talk with Yu Zhinian and persuaded Yu Zhinian to give up his marriage with Yang Ke.

He admitted it was the most selfish and cold-blooded decision he had ever made in his life.However, under Yang Zhongyun's interference for many years, Zhao Sibei could do too little for Yang Ke, and finally he was able to do something for Yang Ke's freedom, so he did it impulsively.

That conversation was very cruel to Yu Zhinian, but Zhao Sibei felt at the time that maybe it wasn't entirely a bad thing, because a person's life is very long, and Yu Zhinian left Yang Ke, so it might not be impossible to find true love.

However, to this day, Zhao Sibei can no longer judge whether what he did was right or wrong. After all, Yang Ke and Yu Zhinian are still married.

Yang Ke took Zhao Sibei back home, the chef had finished cooking and just put the dinner plate on the table.

Lunch is Chinese food, and the dishes are rich.The sun shines into the restaurant from the terrace, and the white flowers on the table glow with it.

Yu Zhinian was still not there, Zhao Sibei asked, "Won't Zhinian come back for lunch?"

"Yeah." Yang Ke said.

"Yang Ke, the matter with the Deqin Group," Zhao Sibei asked carefully, "Is it easy to deal with?"

Yang Ke didn't seem to want to discuss this topic. His phone vibrated. He took a look at it, and then told Zhao Sibei: "The transfer of shares has been suspended. It doesn't matter."

"I didn't want stocks in the first place," he put down his phone, and told Zhao Sibei calmly, "I just want to marry Yu Zhinian."

Zhao Sibei's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he raised his eyes to look at Yang Ke.

Yang Ke's expression and tone were very calm, but Zhao Sibei couldn't swallow what he said.

"What's the matter with your marriage?" Zhao Sibei asked him.

"At that time, a few days after Yu Zhinian came back, we went out for dinner at night, and he secretly packed his things and wanted to leave. After I chased him out, for some reason, he asked me if there was any problem with the company, and said that if he needed money, he could Register for marriage with me," Yang Ke himself felt that it was absurd to say it, so he paused for a few seconds, "I admit it."

Zhao Sibei didn't know what to say, so he froze on the spot.After a while, he asked Yang Ke: "Then how is your relationship now?"

"Not good," Yang Ke said, "He lived in the house that grandpa bought for him yesterday."

Zhao Sibei's heart seemed to be crushed by a stone, and he was speechless.

"Dad, I can't accompany you tonight," Yang Ke didn't notice his change, looked at the void, and said, "He's going to a school meeting tonight, I'll go find him."

"I don't know if he will be unhappy," Yang Ke said, as if a little irritable, and said, "I'm going to smoke a cigarette."

He walked to the landscaped patio outside the French windows of the restaurant and lit a cigarette.Through the glass, Zhao Sibei watched his son standing by the tree, lighting a cigarette skillfully, and smoking in silence.

Facing a table of dishes, Zhao Sibei couldn't eat anything, so he sat for a while, went out, and told Yang Ke, "I have something to tell you."

"What's wrong?" Yang Ke asked in surprise.

He didn't smoke much in front of people, so he put the cigarette out.

Zhao Sibei's appearance was different from the past, he was almost murmuring.

"Christmas before your grandfather died," his father confessed with some difficulty, "I knew you were going to accept your grandfather's will. After living together with Zhinian, I talked to Zhinian."

Christmas two years ago was a special day for Yang Ke.Yang Ke suddenly felt bad, and frowned slightly: "What are you talking about?"

"I think your decision was made too hastily and without consideration for yourself," Zhao Sibei said slowly, "so I... asked Zhinian to think more about you at that time. After all, marriage is not a child's play, no Should be kidnapped by your grandfather's will."

"I told him," Zhao Sibei's voice became lower, "I hope he will set you free and give you the right to pursue love independently. He agreed and did the same."

Yang Ke was stunned for a while, then asked in a low voice, "What do you mean I should pursue love?"

He was confused and unbelievable, looked at Zhao Sibei again, and felt as if he had never really known his trusted father.

"You told Yu Zhinian not to marry me?" He remembered Yu Zhinian's judgment on him last night, "What did you say? Said I didn't like him, said I pitied him? ——He was like this with me yesterday Said."

Zhao Sibei's face was gloomy, his shoulders drooped slightly, and he didn't defend himself.

The two stood in the courtyard, the top of the landscape tree next to them was illuminated by the sun, and the shadow fell on the ground.

Yang Ke looked at the stone bricks under his feet, recalling the brief and happy life he and Yu Zhinian had together, and said to Zhao Sibei: "Yu Zhinian hasn't communicated with me much since that Christmas. I thought he..."

Zhao Sibei was silent, but Yang Ke didn't continue.

"You think I don't like it," Yang Ke couldn't help asking after a while, "Go talk to him, have you asked me?"

"I just want to be with Yu Zhinian, it was like this before, and it is still like this now," he paused for a few seconds, his voice became very low, "I am an adult, and my marriage has nothing to do with anyone but him .”

"He said everything yesterday." He looked at Zhao Sibei and asked helplessly, "How can I explain it now so that he doesn't think I'm still lying to him?"

Yang Ke went to the company in the afternoon, but the work did not go smoothly.

He was distracted from time to time, his mind was full of Yu Zhinian's refusal, he felt powerless, but it was hard to blame others, he knew that he was to blame.

His inappropriate silence, passive waiting, and all the sneaky ways to persuade Yu Zhinian to stay are all despicable and harmful to others and himself.

Yang Ke has always been afraid of the word love, which reminds him of Yang Zhongyun's dramatic description.Yang Ke thinks that love is not what he has, nor is it what he needs, so he just passively accepts it selfishly, and never seriously responds to Yu Zhinian. Express.

In the beginning, he deceived himself to invite Yu Zhinian to live together to make up for Yu Zhinian, but later he paralyzed himself, took advantage of Yu Zhinian's kindness, bypassed all due procedures, and only pursued the result of marriage.

It’s not that Yang Ke doesn’t remember his heartbeat changes when he read Yu Zhinian’s observation notes. It’s not that he doesn’t like to have Yu Zhinian waiting when he returns home. When Yu Zhinian returned to China to work on a project, he asked Smith to call Yu Zhinian continuously. He asked the housekeeper to call the police, and finally managed to trick Yu Zhinian back home before the half-year separation expired.

He feels that love is a fake thing, even if it exists, it will pass away, and in the end it will cause loss and failure to people. Only the relationship between companionship and legal facts can be stable.

It is right that Yu Zhinian can't stand it now, because he has never given anything Yu Zhinian wanted.

He is not a person worthy of Yu Zhinian's love at all, but still because of his shamelessness, meanness, and selfishness, Yang Ke can't let go.

Yu Zhinian entered the building for a meeting at 09 o'clock, and came out with Shao Xilin at 30:[-]. When he was about to walk home, he heard someone calling him behind him.

Yang Ke stood under the street lamp, beside the car, with his hands hanging by his sides, looked at him quietly, and asked him, "Do you have time to say something?"

Yu Zhinian just vented his emotions last night, and felt a little embarrassed when he saw Yang Ke.He didn't know how long Yang Ke had been waiting, but he saw some fallen leaves on Yang Ke's car roof and windows.

"Just chatting." Yang Ke said again.

Yu Zhinian still couldn't bear it, so he said goodbye to Shao Xilin, walked towards Yang Ke, Yang Ke opened the car door for him, and said, "Get in the car and talk."

Sitting in the car, Yang Ke didn't speak immediately. Yu Zhinian felt that Yang Ke seemed to have smoked a lot, and the smell of smoke became obvious in the confined space.

After a few seconds, Yu Zhinian spoke first and told Yang Ke: "I applied for an independent investigation project, and the instructor verbally agreed. I will not take courses in the next few months, and I plan to return to Sanwen first. I should leave soon. "

"If you don't want shares," Yu Zhinian asked, "does it mean that their ban doesn't have much impact on you?"

Yang Ke looked at him and said, "It doesn't matter."

"That's good, I should have no problem going back." Yu Zhinian said, planning to buy a plane ticket tonight.

Yang Ke didn't answer, changed the subject, and suddenly told Yu Zhinian: "I went to pick up my dad at noon, and he told me that he talked to you."

Yu Zhinian's heart beat faster, and he looked at Yang Ke, not knowing what Zhao Sibei meant by saying this.

"I don't think so about what he said," Yang Ke looked at Yu Zhinian and whispered, "But I did a poor job. You will believe it, and it's also my problem."

Yu Zhinian didn't know what Yang Ke was going to say, and his heartbeat became faster for no reason. Looking into Yang Ke's eyes, he couldn't help but hide back.

"Yu Zhinian." Yang Ke called him.

Yu Zhinian leaned half against the door and half against the back of the chair, and said "Mmm".

"I don't know what your definition of liking me is," Yang Ke approached him and said slowly, "but I..."

His expression was not obvious, but his body approached Yu Zhinian.

His tall size made the carriage narrow, with his arms resting on the back of Yu Zhinian's chair, he looked at Yu Zhinian seriously.Yu Zhinian smelled the smoke on his body, turned his eyes away, and looked at the folds of Yang Ke's shirt in the darkness.

"Yu Zhinian," Yu Zhinian heard Yang Ke's voice getting closer to him, "I married you not to pity you."

"I want to make out with you not because you kissed me on my own initiative." The warm, somewhat rough fingertips touched Yu Zhinian's cheeks, slowly slid down, clasped his chin, exerted a little force, and lifted his chin Face.

"You are with me, I just want to touch you," Yang Ke kissed Yu Zhinian's lips, the bridge of his nose resting on Yu Zhinian's skin, his voice became vague, "What kind of people are you talking about with a good family background? interest."

"You can go back to Sanwen if you want," Yang Ke said, "but I will marry you, believe it or not, I just want to marry you."

Yang Ke must have stood outside for a long time, his shirt smelled of the trees on the campus, he kissed Yu Zhinian hard and carefully, with an almost pleading voice that Yu Zhinian seldom heard, to Yu Zhinian. Yu Zhinian spoke.

"Can you give me another chance?" Yang Ke moved his lips, put his arms around Yu Zhinian's waist, hugged him face to face, and said to him, "I have never disliked you, and I will behave well in the future. I won't make you feel I do not like."
