Mr. Shen's little boyfriend

Shen Chao took He Qiutong into his arms and kissed the tip of the other's nose.

Although it was the other party's family matter, and it involved too many emotional entanglements in childhood, Shen Chao still spoke.

"Do you still have expectations for your father...?" In his eyes, He Qiutong should have expectations for his father's love, but he bumped into walls everywhere when he was a child, which made him timid now, so he simply gave this step .

He Qiutong rubbed on the man's chest again and again, and complicated images flashed through his head one by one. There was a picture of his grandfather carrying him to participate in the kindergarten sports meeting, a picture of his mother wearing a purple dress sitting under the plane tree and cutting paper, and... There is a picture of He Li talking to the teacher at the parent meeting after taking him home for the first time...

He Li... This man was both familiar and unfamiliar to him.

"I... I don't know. He Li, he failed to fulfill his promises to me too many times... I don't know if I can still trust him." He Qiutong's tone was creaky, and it's not hard to see the hesitation inside .

He Qiutong was indeed looking forward to this.

When he was young, he often couldn't see his father, and the only wedding photo at home became his obsession.

In the photo, the beautiful mother and the father in suit and leather shoes are a perfect match.He has imagined countless times that when his father returns home, he will take a fairy tale book and read him a story before going to bed-he has heard this in the compositions of other children's children.

……

"Let it be, if he calls again next time, you can answer it." Shen Chao turned sideways and hugged his boyfriend, "Don't think about it tonight, go to bed quickly."

He Qiutong nestled in the man's neck and blinked, "Actually...the reason why I remembered it was because...it was because I was thinking, if you are really with me, if you want to see my parents, who should you meet? What about it?" You can't drag Shen Chao to the cemetery, right?

"Also... If the mother-in-law wants to see the in-laws... I don't have anyone here, how bad it is."

Shen Chao was stunned after hearing this, and he didn't say anything for a long time. When he sighed, he found his eyes were a little sore.

"Are you stupid? Are you thinking of me?" The man patted him on the back and continued: "You don't need to think about the relationship between you and your father, you just need to obey your own heart." .”

"Ah."

He Qiutong closed his eyes, thinking it would be difficult to fall asleep, but in fact, he soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, when he woke up, there was no sign of Shen Chao around him. He Qiutong rolled into the quilt next to him and found that the temperature was also very cold - Shen Chao should have been gone for a while.

He sighed, and went to the toilet to brush his teeth and wash his face. The orange-flavored toothpaste had already been squeezed out, and there was a post-it note written by a man on the mirror.

dear wife:

My husband will be busy these days, and the contract work with Chen An Pharmaceutical is coming to an end soon.Let's travel abroad after we finish our busy work.

——Shen Chao who loves you

The man's font is beautiful, as graceful as a frightened bird, as graceful as a dragon.It looks pleasing to the eye.He Qiutong's depressed mood because the man went out early in the morning was comforted.

He brushed his teeth for an exceptionally long time today. He stood in front of the mirror for several minutes before he cleaned himself up, wiped his hands and took off this post-it note.

He took a photo of this note and put it in an album, and put the real thing in a small iron box——it contained all the notes left by Shen Chao.

After living together for so long, I have saved a lot of sticky notes.A thick pile, rushed out when the box was opened, as if to greet him.The small tin box almost couldn't fit, so He Qiutong pressed the sticky notes and stuffed them in.

I should have bought a bigger box for this.He Qiutong thought.

Life without Shen Chao is rather ordinary, nothing more than a cycle of going to class, eating, and going to class. He Qiutong was a little full after eating lunch in the cafeteria, so he planned to walk downstairs to the dormitory to see the stray cat who was being fed fat by the boys.

As a result, during this journey, the cat didn't see it, but saw the person on the phone.

He Qiutong stood at the intersection 50 meters away and looked at the man.

Blood relationship is a strange and subtle thing, obviously it's just a back view, obviously it's been a long time since I saw him, but He Qiutong is very sure - this is He Li.

His body was pinned in place by something invisible, He Qiutong moved his legs but found that he couldn't move at all, he was powerless to back up or go forward.

The illusory statement of blood relationship can sometimes really fulfill some things that science cannot explain.He Li also turned around suddenly at this moment, and the two gazes passed through the crowd coming and going downstairs in the men's dormitory.

They didn't move, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.

Half a minute later, He Qiutong blinked his sour eyes, turned around and left without hesitation, but as long as you look closely at his eyes, you can find the struggle and entanglement in it.

Seeing this, He Li immediately chased after him, but his son walked fast and hurriedly, taking big steps, as if he didn't want to see him at all.This made He Li hesitate, but remembering how flustered he was when his son hadn't heard from him these days, he took another step to catch up.

The campus is huge. Although He Li has been to Nantah University many times because of looking for people, he is far less familiar with the route than He Qiutong, a college student of this school.

He is also getting old, his body has been hollowed out in countless entertainments, and the suits he used to wear are now potbellied, and he can't run away from his son.

It was lost after a while.

The man propped his knees on the side of the road panting, but in the late autumn and winter weather, bead-sized beads of sweat dripped down from his temples.

When his breathing subsided a little, He Licai straightened his body. The students coming and going in the university all cast strange eyes on this middle-aged man who was panting by the roadside.

But He Li didn't care about this, he looked left and right, but he couldn't see his son among these students - Tongtong didn't want to see him.

This realization gave him a stab in the heart.Maybe Tongtong felt the same way when he knew his father didn't want to see him when he was a child?He is also reaping the consequences.Why--

The running distance just now had overloaded his body, so He Li walked to the chair by the side of the road and sat down, thumping his sore thigh.

The man froze on the chair for half an hour, didn't say anything, didn't do anything, just sat there doing nothing.He Li didn't know that He Qiutong was actually standing at the corner of the dormitory building behind him, watching him silently from a place not too far away.

As long as He Li sat, He Qiutong stood at the corner for as long.

It wasn't until the man remembered the phone that he suddenly took out the phone, but when he clicked on the number he knew by heart, he hesitated again, and pressed it after a while.

"Jingle Bell--"

The phone rang not far away.

He Li was stunned, and subconsciously wanted to turn his head to look at it, but reason made him stop his body movements, and just looked at the phone like this—it was never picked up.

He Qiutong at the corner was also taken aback by the sudden ringing of his cell phone. He took out his cell phone in a panic and turned off the sound, but hesitated in the face of the constantly beating incoming calls on the cell phone screen.

This is like a hot potato, whether you pick it up or not.

It seems that one minute will pass... He Qiutong suddenly remembered what Shen Chao said in his ear last night while hugging him——

'Let it be, if he calls next time.Just pick it up. '

He Qiutong took a deep breath and let it out slowly from his lungs.

The phone was picked up, but no one spoke.Both put their phones to their ears and listened silently.

On the other end of the phone, He Li's breathing was still a little heavy, probably because he hadn't recovered after running. After a while, the heavy breathing stopped, and the man said——

"Tongtong... I know you don't want to see me, you are not far behind me, right?" He Li's hands shaking while holding the phone, "It's fine for Dad to just talk to you like this... Maybe you don't want to see me any more. I am a father, but..."

"I repented too late, so many things were too late. At first, I actually loved my family. Later, I was obsessed with work. I wanted to make money, but the result..."

"I'm not trying to defend myself. Tongtong, I really know I'm wrong."

"Is it okay for you to be alone outside these days? Do you have money to eat? You, you can use the money in the card. I beg you." He Li's voice was trembling and weeping, "Let Dad Know you are still there."

"When you were in your third year of high school, didn't you want to go abroad when you filled out your volunteer application? Dad shouldn't have insisted on enrolling you in Nantah University. I was just afraid that you would go far away... I helped you contact the foreign university you wanted to study before. "

"Dad was really wrong, and Dad wants to make it up to you."

He Qiutong listened to the words on the phone, and was silent for a long time before speaking, "Are you sincere? How many promises you made when you were young have not been fulfilled. Can I still trust you now?"

……

In the end, the two still didn't meet again, and left after hanging up the phone with each other.

The timing of this call was indeed too coincidental. If Mr. Shen hadn't told him to let nature take its course, probably He Qiutong would just turn his head and walk away today, and would never look behind He Li's back, nor would he answer the call at all.

……

This matter made him a little absent-minded in class all afternoon, He Qiutong patted his face to cheer up.

On the way home, he stopped by the supermarket to buy ingredients that Shen Chao likes to eat. He wanted to make some delicious food after Shen Chao returned home.

As a result, He Qiutong sat and waited in the living room, watched the clock gradually go from 6:00 to 8:30 in the evening, but did not hear the door opening from the entrance.

The messages sent on the mobile phone have also disappeared, and the calls have always been in a state of no one answering.

Teacher Shen wouldn't deliberately not answer his phone... Then what's going on?

He Qiutong watched the clock tick past 9:00, unable to suppress the anxiety in his heart, and paced back and forth in the living room.

Just then, the phone rang——

The name on the caller ID is Shen Chao.
