He had a crush on him for 12 years and divorced

Tan Zheng was wearing a pure black sportswear, his hair was not well-groomed as usual, it was casually fluffed over his forehead, and he looked like he was in his twenties when viewed from a distance.

Ren Zhaoyuan was distracted when he finished the sketch, and when he sensed someone, he put away the things, turned around and saw that it was Tan Zheng, but Tan Zheng seemed to be distracted at the time;

The ginkgo forest is remote and large in scale. If someone comes here on a special trip, there is a high probability that they will play in the part facing the main road.Ren Zhaoyuan didn't expect to meet someone, and it was exactly as Tan Zheng said.

"Yes, what a coincidence."

Ren Zhaoyuan responded, and then heard Tan Zheng ask: "Did I bother you?"

"No, I saw you here when I was about to go back."

Tan Zheng thought to himself that in order to avoid people, he should have reversed the order of tidying himself up and wandering around, so that he appeared in front of Ren Zhaoyuan in such a slovenly manner.

In his heart, he regarded today's meeting as a date.

I was secretly annoyed, and noticed that when Ren Zhaoyuan raised his hand and stepped forward, his upper body subconsciously leaned back.

Seeing this, Ren Zhaoyuan took a step back, and dropped his hand holding the tissue: "Sorry, you..."

"No, no." Tan Zheng's tone seemed extraordinarily nervous, and Ren Zhaoyuan looked at him suspiciously.

Tan Zheng didn't know whether he should be annoyed by his chaotic language system or dodge just now. He was afraid that Ren Zhaoyuan would mistakenly think that he didn't want him to approach or that this unintentional action would pull the two of them farther apart, and he couldn't think of a good excuse in a short time. , can only be explained in detail.

"I sweated a lot from running. I didn't change my clothes for fear of smelling on my body. There is no other meaning. Teacher Ren, don't mind."

Ren Zhaoyuan reacted for two seconds, not knowing what to say for a while.

Not to mention that there is only a little fragrance of detergent left on Tan Zheng's body. Normally, people with good hygiene habits may have body odor after sweating once, and even if they do, it's nothing. They are all men. Sweaty?

Seeing that Ren Zhaoyuan didn't speak immediately, Tan Zheng took a half-step forward hesitantly: "Just now, I was afraid of making you uncomfortable. I planned to go back to take a shower and tidy up before looking for you. This is not very polite."

"I'm not so precise," Ren Zhaoyuan smiled helplessly, "There's a bug on your shoulder, don't move."

Hearing this, Tan Zheng raised his hand and turned his head to the side, and stopped immediately when he heard the "don't move" behind him.

"This kind of insect stings people, you can't touch it with your hands," Ren Zhaoyuan flicked Tan Zheng's left shoulder through a tissue, looked up and saw Tan Zheng still seemed anxious, and said bluntly, "I can help you with your sister's matter." I will help, Mr. Tan can rest assured."

Tan Zheng watched Ren Zhaoyuan's slender and flexible fingers fold the tissue in half and put it in his pocket, his Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was dry when he spoke: "Thank you, Teacher Ren."

"Well, you're welcome." Ren Zhaoyuan felt that Tan Zheng was really young and interesting like a student, and there was a little smile in his voice, "I was surprised when I heard Tongzhou say that you were only 25 yesterday, but now I believe it."

Just now the secretly tensed shoulders slowly relaxed, Tan Zheng lowered his head and smiled and joked to himself: "It is necessary for work, and it is easier to get trust points by deliberately pretending to be old, otherwise people will see that they are in their twenties without waiting to talk about it in detail. I feel unreliable."

"Understood," Ren Zhaoyuan and Tan Zheng walked slowly towards the outside of the forest with a shoulder distance apart, "I want to go back and put things away, where is Mr. Tan?"

"I'll go back too and change clothes."

Ren Zhaoyuan nodded, his eyes were attracted by the bright color in Tan Zheng's hand: "This is... a butterfly made of ginkgo leaves?"

"Ah, yes," Tan Zhengcai noticed that the leaf was still in his hand, and the edges were bent, so Ren Zhaoyuan straightened it up and raised it up for him to see, "Just do it."

The folded wings of the leaf and the two tentacles of the leaf stem tremble slightly with the movement of Ren Zhaoyuan holding it in his hand. It is not lifelike but fully alive. The characteristics of ginkgo leaves and butterflies are integrated and balanced. .

Tan Zheng looked at him for a long time, and asked softly, "Teacher Ren, what's wrong?"

Ren Zhaoyuan returned to his senses with a smile: "I suddenly have an idea for next year's spring theme."

He smiled so stretchedly and beautifully, the arcs of the corners of his lips and eyes seemed to be holding Tan Zheng's heartbeat.

"Can you send me?"

"Of course," Tan Zheng replied immediately, and then asked, "There are also double-layered wings, do you want to see it?"

Ren Zhaoyuan looked at him from the side, with the tails of his eyes slightly raised: "Okay, please trouble Mr. Tan."

Tan Zheng leaned over and picked up two ginkgo leaves, one large and one small, and called out, "Teacher Ren."

Ren Zhaoyuan's attention was all on Tan Zheng's hands, and he replied indifferently: "Huh?"

The raised question was accompanied by a soft hook. Tan Zheng pressed red marks on the heels of his palms with his fingernails, carried the newly folded butterfly to Ren Zhaoyuan, and said, "Just call me by my name."

-

Ren Zhaoyuan went back and put away the ginkgo leaves first, and then hung the changed clothes in the dry cleaning area on the right side of the dirty closet.

While changing clothes, he received a call from his cousin Wen Gu, and Ren Zhaoyuan asked, "What's wrong?"

"What's the matter, your tone, can't you miss you?"

"Okay," Ren Zhaoyuan turned on the speakerphone and put the phone aside, "Look at what time it is."

The loud and bright voice on the opposite side was far and near: "Round up to ten o'clock."

When he was not resting at this time, he was busy running around, and he definitely slept soundly when he was resting.

"It's special to let you witness. I got up at seven o'clock today. I couldn't think of going to the gym to renew my card after eating. Later, the coach had something to do and someone else came. When I raised my arm, my god, the smell of sweat directly smoked me." Come out two miles away..."

Hearing this, Ren Zhaoyuan laughed, shook the perfume in his hand and pressed lightly on his right wrist and the inside of his clothes.

Coach Wen Gucong talked about the dog barking at him on the side of the road, and said that he bought a pair of thermal imaging sneakers for each person, and finally asked Ren Zhaoyuan very naturally when he would go home.

Ren Zhaoyuan was picked up from his grandmother by his uncle when he was 14 years old, so he grew up with Wen Gu.

Ren Zhaoyuan hadn't told his family about the divorce before, and only briefly said a few words during the phone call after the award presentation.

There were a lot of things to do when returning home. After the family picked up the plane, Ren Zhaoyuan was called away by phone calls one after another before he had finished his meal.

In fact, he was only busy for a while, and later he used work as an excuse to avoid it.

Ren Zhaoyuan didn't want to talk about the real reason for the divorce.

"Brother, don't worry, just go home and have a meal. Parents will definitely not ask more questions, they are just worried about you. No matter why, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. We will definitely stand by your side."

Ren Zhaoyuan took a drink from the water glass, put it down again, and said, "There's nothing we can't say, Zhao Yuanqing has someone else outside, so he left."

Look, it's a very simple matter, one sentence is enough to finish it.

But Ren Zhaoyuan really didn't want to mention it.

The initial heart-wrenching and doubtful torment became blurred with the subsequent chaos of day and night. He no longer felt pain, and he couldn't even feel a little sad.

Just resist.

It seems that all the love and trust that have been shown in front of others, all the years of innocence or maturity in the sun, have become weights that increase the level of absurdity with this simple sentence.

As the protagonist of the story, he must calmly state the process and receive different feedback from the listeners.

He doesn't accept persuasion based on time and emotion as a reason, and doesn't need empathetic anger and comfort, but he just doesn't want to mention it.

I don't want to recall what happened, why and how after I finally struggled out of the dark mud, after I finally got rid of the painful nightmare brought about by that experience.

Or maybe it's because he doesn't have enough life experience and practice, and he can't really face the failure of marriage and emotion calmly.

Maybe in another ten years, he will be able to treat the affair of being cheated by the other half who has been in love with him for many years as a joke in his life. It's like a final exam.

The ringing of the doorbell interrupted Ren Zhaoyuan's thoughts and Wen Gu's swearing, and this time Ren Zhaoyuan made a special trip to look at the display screen on the wall.

Outside the door is Tan Zheng.

"Next week, I will go home for a few days. It was more than a year ago, but I left only recently. I'm fine. Let uncle and aunt not worry."

"Oh," Wen Gu was rare and concise, "Got it."

After hanging up the phone, Ren Zhaoyuan stood for a few seconds to collect his emotions. When he went out, Tan Zheng stood outside the door without moving his position or ringing the doorbell again.

"Boss Tan."

When Tan Zheng asked Ren Zhaoyuan to call him by his name when he was in the ginkgo forest, Ren Zhaoyuan only said that he was used to it.

Afterwards, they still called him that way, and Tan Zheng didn't say anything more.

Ren Zhaoyuan changed into a light coffee-colored pure wool slub Ulster coat. Tan Zheng wore a formal suit inside, but he wore a dark gray Balmaken outside. The fabric and length of their coats were almost the same.

This time it was Ren Zhaoyuan who said the trick.

The two chatted about Tan Zheng's younger sister, and took a leisurely walk to a nearby Chinese-style teahouse.

A few dishes of snacks and a pot of tea soup, Tan Zheng first poured it for Ren Zhaoyuan: "She wants to come here for a while during the winter vacation, can you take her to visit Teacher Ren's design park?"

"It's not a visit, she wants to go there anytime." Ren Zhaoyuan put his hand on the side of the cup, thought for a while and said, "If you are really interested, you can stay for a few hours a day, learn what you can learn, do what you can do Yes, just treat it as an internship in advance, and it will depend on her wishes." Tan Zheng raised his eyes in surprise, and pushed me instead of following the business routine: "Thank you very much, I must make sure in advance that I won't let her mess with you. trouble."

Ren Zhaoyuan's Design Park is not something you can go to if you want, there are many people who are begging to pay to study and work, but no one can get in without Ren Zhaoyuan's nod.

"Replace wine with tea," Tan Zheng raised the teacup and lowered it in the middle of the table, "Thank you, Teacher Ren."

Ren Zhaoyuan smiled and clinked the teacup with Tan Zheng, and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Tan is an investor after all, and he can't even have this kind of preferential treatment."

Tan Zheng smiled, and was interrupted by a voice just as he was about to say something.

——"If you want to say it's still too stubborn, which man doesn't steal?"

The teahouse is divided into a lot of spacious spaces by mahogany with hollow patterns, and operas are babbling on the stage, the voice is not very loud, but it is enough to cover the normal volume of chatting between various areas.

Now the next scene was reaching a point of silence, and the man spoke in a loud voice, which Tan Zheng and Ren Zhaoyuan could hear clearly.

——"The rumors are true and false. We heard this statement. Who knows why? Mr. Ren is an artist, and he is at the forefront of fashion!"

Four people, including Kang You, were sitting here, and they were chatting after the business discussion. In a few sentences, they talked about Ren Zhaoyuan and Zhao Yuanqing's divorce.

Kang You had a consistent faint smile on his lips, listening to their chatting, he didn't talk much.

——"That's right, it doesn't matter who catches whom, I heard..."

"It's better to be cautious about what you've heard." Tan Zheng deliberately raised his voice, and the discussion on the other side came to an abrupt end.

From the beginning to the end, Ren Zhaoyuan's expression did not fluctuate, as if he didn't care, but also as if he was used to it, only then did he react, showing a bit of surprise.

Tan Zheng leaned forward slightly, lowered his voice and said, "The tea is bad, should we change the place?"

Ren Zhaoyuan nodded, got up and walked out.

Tan Zheng stood up from his seat, but couldn't help but stare at the source of the discussion with a cold face.

It's not enough just to shut up at this moment.

"Tan Zheng," Ren Zhaoyuan turned around and said, the hall became quieter for a moment, he just looked at Tan Zheng and said, "Let's go."
