please love me again

"You, you married...?" When Li Yao asked this sentence, he felt hard to breathe, and his heart seemed to be soaked in acid water.

Dong Chang paused for a moment, and then showed a smile without a smile, in Li Yao's view, it was almost cruel.

"Really?" Li Yao asked, with a hint of persistence in his eyes.

At this time, Li Yao had already forgotten Sun Shifeng's reminder - don't pry into Mr. Dong's private affairs.

How can he get married! ?He doesn't like women!And...he once said...

"I wanted to be like you, a person who can't lie..." Dong Chang said in a low voice, but there was sarcasm in his tone.

"What do you mean?" Li Yao didn't understand, as long as his words were slightly oblique, Li Yao wouldn't understand.

"I got married," Dong Chang said firmly, "in the year you left me."

Li Yao's eyes darkened.

Just like six years ago.

Six years ago, Li Yao's father's company was blackmailed and went bankrupt overnight. His father's leg was broken by a debt collector, and he never recovered. He chose to kill himself during the hospitalization process.

In order to seek justice, Li Yao went all over the place, but in the end he lost the lawsuit, adding new debts to old debts.

Li Yao's mother experienced the pain of losing her husband, and she couldn't afford it. The illness dragged on for two years, and finally passed away.

Because of avoiding debts, Li Yao took his younger brother, who was still a student, and changed one residence after another. In order to provide for his younger brother to go to school, Li Yao reduced his clothing and food. When Li Yuan was at school, Li Yao even slept on a bench in the park for a few times. One night, Li Yao, who was finally hungry, bought a pack of cigarettes with the 20 yuan he had left.

He couldn't afford the cigarettes that Dong Chang used to smoke, so he could only buy the cheapest cigarettes.

He used to not understand why Dong Chang liked to smoke, it was so bitter and choking.

Now he understands that life is bitterer than smoke, so that even such bitter smoke tastes sweet.

Li Yao experienced six years of hellish darkness, with constant funerals and debt collection.

However, Dong Chang told him that he was married.

Li Yao knew in his heart that there was no need for him to restrain the person who had already broken up. No matter whether Dong Chang got married or started a career, it was not something he should care about from now on...

But——Li Yao couldn't ignore his mood.

He cares, cares a lot.

Li Yao didn't know how he ran out of Dongchang's office, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Li Yao felt that the dam in his heart was almost unable to hold back the raging emotional flood, and it was about to burst.

After Li Yao ran away, Dong Chang stared blankly at the ring on his hand, thinking of Li Yao's flustered expression just now, he suddenly smiled mockingly.

"Why do you have that expression?"

Dong Chang thought that after so many years, he could let go of that obsession, but when he saw Li Yao's face again, Dong Chang suddenly realized that if the answer he wanted didn't come from Li Yao's mouth, he would die in peace. .

"Also, why did you become so thin..." Dong Chang covered his eyes with his palms, trying to hide his emotions.

Li Yao didn't know why he walked home, as if he had stepped on cotton under his feet, and if he was not careful, he would step into the abyss.

The phone rang, and Li Yao answered the phone unconsciously.

A deep and hoarse man's voice came, "This month, 30..."

Li Yao trembled all over, and hung up the phone in fright.

"Damn it!" Li Yao hastily turned off the phone, his face as pale as a freshly painted wall.

Now is not the time to worry about Dong Chang!

Li Yao patted his cheek and returned home.

It happened that Li Yuan and Fu Yiping were at home.

"Thank you, Yiping," said Li Yao, "for helping to bring Li Yuan home."

"You open your mouth and say thank you, I'm really not used to it," Fu Yiping said, "I haven't seen Li Yuan for a long time, this time we had a good chat, this kid is really tall!"

"Brother," Li Yuan said suddenly, "you don't need to pick me up from now on."

"Ah, um..." Li Yao agreed casually, put down his things and went back to the house.

Li Yuan and Fu Yiping looked at each other.

"What's wrong with your brother? His face looks like powder?"

"I'll go see him." Li Yuan got up and walked to Li Yao's room.

In the room, Li Yao huddled in a corner.

"Brother? What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay..." Li Yao's answer was a little weak.

"I have the entrance exam tomorrow," Li Yuan said casually, "If I get No.1, I will get a bonus."

"Well, I believe you..."

"Brother?" Li Yuan felt that Li Yao was in a strange state, and pressed Li Yao's shoulder to turn him around.

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, only seeing Li Yao's tears streaming down silently, Li Yao didn't seem to notice it yet.

"Well, Li Yuan, let's go to bed early after dinner..." Li Yao patted his younger brother's hand.

"Brother, you cry..." Li Yuan choked up suddenly. He knew that Li Yao actually hated crying. The last time he saw Li Yao crying was when he was betrayed by many relatives. No relatives were willing to adopt him. Seeing himself leave resolutely, his eyes were full of tears of grief and indignation.

Li Yuan raised his hand and silently wiped Li Yao's tears.

Touched by his younger brother's actions, Li Yao couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and threw himself into his younger brother's arms, crying nonstop.

"Why...why woo..." Li Yao couldn't help crying, "Why is he married..."

Li Yuan was expressionless, and patted Li Yao's back stiffly. He didn't know when his brother became so fragile.

Fu Yiping heard Li Yao howling, came over to look, and saw the two brothers hugging each other, Li Yao was crying like a fool, Li Yuan glanced at Fu Yiping and shook his head.

Fu Yiping stood still, always feeling that the two brothers were surrounded by boundaries that could not be interfered with.

Early the next morning, Li Yao got up, washed and cooked like a normal person, doing what he should do.

"Brother, I'm going to school." Li Yuan greeted Li Yao after breakfast, tactfully not mentioning what happened last night.

"Understood, be careful on the road." Because of his crying yesterday, Li Yao was still a little embarrassed to look at him.

After Li Yuan left, Fu Yiping finally couldn't help asking, "Eh... what happened to you last night?"

"It's okay, I hit my head." Li Yao prevaricated.

Fu Yiping made a disgusted expression, and then stopped asking. Sometimes, the sign of maturity is not to ask the bottom line.

Li Yao knew that he hadn't tidied up his mood yet, but he had no choice but to pretend that he had done so.

He never imagined that when he went to work today, the first person he met was Dong Chang.

The two met at the entrance of the company, and Li Yao hurriedly greeted him. Dong Chang glanced at him with an indifferent expression and did not respond.

The two take the elevator together.

In the small space, Li Yao's eyes could not help but glance at the ring on Dong Chang's hand.

Only at this time, Li Yao could recall Dong Chang's tenderness. In the past, no matter how willful he was, he would give in and coax himself.

Does this tenderness finally belong to someone else?

"She..." Li Yao still couldn't hold back, "What kind of person is she?"

Dong Chang's figure paused, and he turned to look at Li Yao. For a moment, he seemed to see that wayward young man again, stubborn and willful, speaking directly without hesitation.

"He is a person who only loves me." After Dong Chang finished speaking, the elevator opened, and he walked straight out, as if without any nostalgia.

Li Yao stayed in the elevator, watching the elevator door close, Dong Chang's figure disappeared from sight.

Li Yao didn't know what kind of expression he had now, he only knew that it must be ugly.

He knew that he shouldn't ask again, he knew that he was a stranger, but he still couldn't help it.

Li Yao didn't know why, maybe it was a bad habit left over from the past. When he saw Dong Chang, he couldn't help but test his bottom line.

Li Yao returned to the office with a dazed expression. Before his butt was hot, the death-like phone call came again.

"Li Yao, I warn you," the man's voice was full of threats, "Don't think about running away, if you don't pay this month's money, next time you won't be able to break off your brother's hand."
