Li Jiao began to wear glasses, not because he wanted to do so, but because his eyes were having a hard time seeing things.

Fu Shujue was also worried about this.

But Li Jiao comforted him, saying that his eyesight was not particularly good, but now the vision has become darker.

Except for this little episode, everything else was peaceful.

The construction project planning went smoothly.

Just after Li Jiao accompanied Fu Shujue to finish the meeting with people from various departments, the company's legal counsel made a call.

At that time, Fu Shujue was talking with someone from the planning department, and Li Jiao picked it up for him, saying: "He is busy now, if you have anything to do, you can tell me first, and I will tell him when the time comes."

The legal advisor knew Li Jiao well, and also knew that he and Fu Shujue often went out on various occasions and were highly regarded.And the company's affairs are public affairs, and the lawyer is still unambiguous when talking about public affairs, so he cut to the point: "I think we need to discuss the land that the company wants to buy."

"I don't think it's necessary." Li Jiao said coldly, "Did something happen temporarily?"

The person on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment, and then said: "I think the pollution of the chemical plant was a bit serious before. They didn't meet the standards in the inspection. Pollutants are pumped into the ground. We can’t guarantee water and air in that area.”

"Didn't the environmental protection test result come out?" Li Jiao asked.

"Yes, the test result is said to be qualified." The lawyer said: "But everyone knows that this test is just a formality, the real..."

"Okay, needless to say." Li Jiao interrupted him: "If you think it is inappropriate, you should have brought it up early. Now that all the procedures have been completed, it is only a matter of signing. In fact, the land can be said to be ours already. Don’t you think it’s too late to say this again? In terms of law, you are an expert and I am an outsider, but I also know how much the loss of a breach of contract will be.” Li Jiao smiled and said, “What do you think?”

The lawyer was speechless.

"So, don't say anything else." Li Jiao told him: "Your boss wants this land, do you think he didn't consider the pollution issue? He just doesn't think it's a problem. The test results also prove it. Of course, I'll still pass on what you said to him."

"……OK."

Facts have shown that what Li Jiao said is correct.

Because Fu Shujue didn't take it too seriously.

Coupled with the fact that Li Jiao told him a few words about the environmental protection test results, Fu Shujue became even more indifferent.

After eliminating all unstable factors, the construction of the project is very fast.

In just one year, high-rise buildings were seen rising from the ground.

There were many buyers, after all, the Fu family's real estate business has been doing well.

Two months after the completion of the project, it happened to be a Friday, which was Li Jiao's birthday.

Fu Shujue always remembers Li Jiao's birthday very clearly, and spends it with him every year.

Li Jiao generally does not like to eat out when there is no particular reason or cause to celebrate.He prefers to stay at home.

Today is his birthday, but because of his proposal, the two stayed at home.

It's not as particular as a restaurant, but there are a lot of red wine candles and the like.

The two sat at the table and chatted about recent events in good spirits, all of which were chatter.

While talking, Fu Shujue suddenly asked Li Jiao: "How long have we been together?"

Li Jiao was taken aback by the question, but after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have never considered this question.When the two of them were together, he only cared about living in a daily cycle, and he couldn't count which anniversary day it was.

Fu Shujue smiled when he saw the man's dazed expression.Said: "It should be a long time."

"It shouldn't be." Li Jiao retorted: "It's really been a long time." I'm not sure about anything else, only the word "long" is profound to him.He hadn't imagined that the two of them would spend so much time together.What made him even more unsure whether to laugh or sigh was: Fu Shujue was able to settle down and really live alone for so long.

Li Jiao's heart was moved. He looked at the person in front of him without any purpose, but slowly and seriously.

"Before your birthday this time, I often thought," Fu Shujue said with tenderness in his eyes, "it's good that we've been like this."

A slight smile appeared on Li Jiao's face.

Fu Shujue asked: "Are you willing to be like this with me forever?"

"If I want," Li Jiao teased him with a smile: "Can you?"

Fu Shujue understood Li Jiao's meaning, the other party was referring to his family, Tang Wan and Fu Shuxuan.He didn't hesitate, but said: "If I can, then, would you still be with me at that time?" In fact, he has been living soberly, and he is clear about what he wants.When he falls in love with someone, he is ready to give something.If he left the Fu family with nothing, would Li Jiao still be willing to be with him at that time?

Fu Shujue knew that Li Jiao must understand the meaning of that sentence.

Li Jiao is so smart, how could he not understand.Therefore, he was very surprised, surprised that Fu Shujue would ask such a question.

There is something strange about this person tonight.Li Jiao thought so.

These years, he thought that he knew Fu Shujue well.But he seemed to have underestimated the other party again.

If Fu Shujue could really give up everything, what about himself?

It was the first time Li Jiao found out that this question was very tricky, and he was frustrated that he couldn't give an answer.He was even more annoyed, annoyed at how he would start thinking about this kind of question.

Under the influence of such complicated moods, Li Jiao chose to remain silent.

But Fu Shujue got up and walked in front of him.

Li Jiao asked, "Why...?"

"I'm going to do something, don't laugh at me later." Fu Shujue said.

Before Li Jiao opened his mouth again, he was so shocked by the other party's next actions that he couldn't say anything extra.

Fu Shujue knelt down on one knee, and took out a dark red box from his pocket.

As if guessing what might be inside, Li Jiao looked at Fu Shujue in disbelief, and then stared at the box firmly.

The box was quickly opened, and it turned out to be a ring.

"I've never tried this before, it feels like..." Fu Shujue didn't seem to know how to describe it, but smiled a little embarrassedly: "But at least, it must be formal." After speaking, he looked up at Li Jiao.

Li Jiao's heart was in a mess.

The ring represented so much that he doubted whether he was wearing it.

The moment he met Fu Shujue's eyes, Li Jiao thought that his face must be ugly.Because his heart cannot be calm.

It was supposed to be a happy moment.And it was difficult for him to squeeze out a little bit of happiness in his heart.

"Li Jiao?" Fu Shujue saw that he was distracted, so he called out his name.

Li Jiao hummed and forced a smile at him.

Fu Shujue spread out his palms towards him: "Give me your hand."

Li Jiao's hand was tightly attached to his side, but he didn't move.

Thinking that the other party was shy and nervous, Fu Shujue said softly: "Don't be afraid, I just want to be with you. Give me your hand."

Because of the inner struggle, there was a thin layer of sweat on Li Jiao's forehead, and he stretched out his hand almost slowly to stillness.

He suddenly felt that he had no reason to accept the ring.But he had another weird idea, he felt the long-lost expectation.

A kind of vitality that squeezes out the darkness and is struggling to twig.

Li Jiao shivered.

He who has hope is a man with weaknesses.

And his possible weakness——

Fu Shujue took the initiative to hold Li Jiao's slow hand, and pulled it in front of him.

He lowered his head and kissed the back of Li Jiao's slender hand, then raised his head again, with a kind of enthusiasm in his eyes.He said, "Do you know that I love you?"

Fu Shujue said to Li Jiao: "I love you."

At this moment, Li Jiao felt tinnitus.His eyes trembled, almost shattered.He tried to speak, but he could only speak after repeated several times. He said, "Don't do this."

Fu Shujue didn't understand, so he gently squeezed Li Jiao's hand, and looked at him questioningly.

Li Jiao really wanted to withdraw that hand, but all reason in his body was telling him to stop this stupid behavior.

He felt that every part of himself was in severe pain, but it was not like the pain that he almost died in the hospital bed seven years ago.

Many times, he managed to fall asleep, only to wake up in the operating room in his dream.

Pain, fear, struggle are like his shadow.

Lingering in the cracks of hell for too long, he can only hide in the depths and fantasize about sunshine, fragrance, and joy.

—Who do you think you are living for?

Li Jiao asked in his heart.

- You are not for yourself.

He answered like this.

No matter how good the dream is, it's time to wake up.

Li Jiao's body was tense, and the other hand hidden behind was so hard that the nails were embedded in the flesh, as if trying to leave him with a bloody wound.

Breathing silently, he was calming down.Then finally he was able to curl his mouth again.

"It's nothing." Li Jiao's voice had returned to normal: "It was too sudden, I didn't expect it." He said, "I am, very happy."

Fu Shujue breathed a sigh of relief, and quite rarely touched his forehead like a child: "I'm so scared that I'm sweating all over, just because you don't want to." He smiled, and put on a ring for Li Jiao.

The ring fits well and looks beautiful on Li Jiao's hand.

Li Jiao lowered his head and seemed to be looking at the ring.Don't let that person see his expression clearly.

*****

That night, Li Jiao received a message from He Song.

Along with the message, there are a few photos.The photos are the same two people.

Two acquaintances who are not strangers.

Sitting on the sofa and watching for a long time, Li Jiao turned the phone upside down and put it beside him.

His expression was stiff, and his five fingers holding the phone showed a sense of tension.

After a while, he slowly relaxed again, his complexion still unchanged.

He sent back a message to He Song.

Nothing will change, and neither will the plans.

It's just that his eyes became more silent and lifeless.
