Only one step away

Li Huan missed work.

The clothes were crumpled and wrapped around her body, making her uncomfortable, but she didn't want to move.He didn't want to go to work, or even get out of bed.

The mobile phone was in the pocket of his trousers, and the ringing rang intermittently, from weak to strong, vibrating, and then there was no movement at all.

Li Huan just lay on the bed staring at the ceiling in a daze.

He thought about Sunan, and tried very hard to understand what he did and said last night, but he couldn't calm down, he couldn't calm down and think about Sunan, he didn't even want to To think about this person.

It wasn't the first time he was rejected by someone, but it was indeed the first time he was rejected by the same sex-at the same time that he finally figured out that he loved that man.

Some wanted to cry, but there were no tears.

For Li Huan, he felt like a broken cart pulled by an old cow. Even if he had any thoughts of running fast, he would be put off or even given up because of the worn-out wheels.

As for the old wheel, it refers to his age.

With a long sigh, Li Huan scratched his head, and finally sat up from the bed. The sunlight from outside the window came in and just fell on his head. The strong light made him squint his eyes.

He got up slowly, and rarely tidied up the bedding, washed his face and brushed his teeth in a depressed mood, and sat in the living room in a daze with his dead phone on his buttocks.

I don't know how long I sat for this time, I just felt that when my stomach was growling, I looked at the time and it was almost a little bit faster.

So, Li Huan changed his clothes out of boredom, grabbed the keys, and prepared to go out to find food to fill his stomach so that he could cope with the work in the afternoon—he really did not have the courage to let himself take a day off from work, because it was not in line with his behavior style.

Although he was hungry, Li Huan, who had no idea, didn't know what to eat, so he drove around in a car.Unexpectedly, when passing by a supermarket, he saw a very familiar person standing on the side of the road, and took a closer look, it turned out to be Su Nuannuan's mother, Su Xiyao.

At first, he didn't want to answer, but he saw the woman standing on the side of the street trying to hail a taxi, but she was always snatched away by the people behind, and suddenly his heart softened, so he turned the car around and stopped in front of her.

Su Xiyao was concentrating on looking at the empty taxis, but suddenly such a car stopped in front of her, she was almost taken aback, but when she saw the windows rolled down, revealing a familiar face, she smiled again .

"Mr. Li?"

Li Huan pushed the car door open with his hands and greeted her: "Get in the car."

"Thank you so much." Su Xiyao got into the car unceremoniously while talking.

Through the mirror, Li Huan glanced at her and asked, "Where is Miss Su going?"

Su Xiyao didn't answer him, but instead asked, "Where is Mr. Li going?"

"I haven't had lunch yet. It would be great if Ms. Su would show her face." These words sounded polite, but to Li Huan, it was not the case.He was more willing that Su Xiyao agreed to his invitation, because he knew that this woman had an extraordinary relationship with Sunan, and maybe he could use this woman's mouth to learn more about Sunan.

Thinking of this, Li Huan couldn't help laughing at himself—no matter how much he wanted to end the relationship in his heart that was cut off before it even started, he still couldn't give up the idea of ​​knowing that person.

"Okay."

Su Xiyao's answer was crisp and concise, almost beyond Li Huan's expectation.It's just that it was not this one that he didn't expect. When the other party asked where to eat, his face paled instantly——

Hot pot, the word that gave him such a headache, was uttered from the mouth of a gentle woman who looked delicate, fair, and even had some Jiangnan flavor, he realized that being able to have an unusual relationship with Sunan This taste must also have the same hobbies as the other person.

The so-called, like attracts like, is such a truth.

When he walked into that store, Li Huan understood this truth on a deeper level, and at the same time, he realized more clearly that he and Sunan are indeed completely different people from the same world.

Li Huan somewhat questioned whether the boss's memory was too good, because from the moment he entered the store, the boss dragged him to chatter non-stop, and whether others could understand the authentic Chongqing dialect was secondary.

The boss seemed to know Su Xiyao very well. Before Su Xiyao could speak, the boss had someone clean up a table in an inconspicuous corner of the store—this made Li Huan very strange, because the store at this time Here, there are not many people eating, and even if there are no seats in the private room, there is no need to deliberately pack out such a small table to make do with it.

Su Xiyao thanked the boss with a smile, ordered a few dishes, and then sat down.

While waiting for the food, Li Huan tentatively asked: "Do you know the owner of this restaurant?"

Su Xiyao tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "It should be said that the boss knows me, right? But it's strange that he seems to know you very well, Mr. Li?"

"I once had dinner here with Sunan." Li Huan replied honestly.

Hearing his answer, Su Xiyao had an expression of "I see" on his face.Li Huan wanted to ask something more, but was interrupted by the waiter who brought the food, so the two began to eat in weird silence.

Halfway through the meal, Li Huan felt that the atmosphere was extremely awkward, so he tried to find some topics to break the atmosphere.

"Why didn't I see you come out with Nuan Nuan today?"

"The children are with Sunan these days."

Su Xiyao's answer was concise and clear as always, but it made Li Huan somewhat unable to continue the following topic.However, as if knowing his embarrassment, Su Xiyao continued to talk about Nuan Nuan.

"Yesterday Sunan went home in a bad mood. I heard that Nuan Nuan was sent back to grandparents' house this morning."

bad mood?Li Huan's heart began to jump up and down, and his mind began to repeatedly imagine how the other party was in a bad mood-crying?laugh?trouble?Or keep silent?

I don't know, I don't know anything.

"I remember just now, Mr. Li, you seemed to ask me if I knew the owner of this company?"

"Ah?" Li Huan didn't quite understand what she said, so he nodded subconsciously to affirm her question.

"Before, I don't remember how many years ago, but it should be when there was no Nuan Nuan. I, Sunan, and my brother often ate here, so the boss knew us."

So that's the case... Li Huan thought so in his heart, and finally understood why the boss of this restaurant was so enthusiastic about Sunan when he came to eat.However, Su Xiyao's brother, why didn't Su Nan mention it?

"Your brother..."

"My brother is gone. He's with Nuannuan's mother. He's gone." Su Xiyao took out the wallet from the bag and handed a photo inside to Li Huan.

Li Huan looked at the photo and saw three people smiling happily.One of them is Su Xiyao in front of him, and the other one with shallow bangs is Sunan. As for the remaining one, the tall and handsome boy with the brightest smile should be Su Xiyao's "brother". Warm dad.

"My brother was a handsome talent in their department back then, and the dream lover of many girls." Su Xiyao said, and laughed, that expression seemed to refer to her lover instead of her brother.

"What about Sunan?" By accident, Li Huan asked this inexplicable question.He didn't know if it was because he liked Sunan's relationship, so he subconsciously asked about Sunan's relationship with other men, although he knew it was abnormal.

"Su Nan..." Su Xiyao read this name, looked out of the window with her chin resting, and laughed, that kind of smile made Li Huan feel particularly jealous, because that smile was full of tenderness and warmth , and this kind of tenderness and warmth is all because of Sunan.

"Su Nan and my brother are childhood sweethearts, and they were admitted to the same school back then, so they were inseparable in school, and even I was jealous." Su Xiyao said, her eyes gradually revealing a touch of sadness.

"And then?" Li Huan asked.

"Then, then my brother got a girlfriend and gave birth to a child, and then the two of them went to study giant pandas, met a landslide, and just disappeared." Su Xiyao said calmly, with no trace of emotion in her eyes , "Then Sunan adopted Nuan Nuan."

Looking at Su Xiyao's silent face, Li Huan suddenly realized something from those plain descriptions. He took out his cigarette in embarrassment, and lit it without asking the lady's permission for the first time.

Amidst the smog, a pair of white and slender hands suddenly appeared in front of him. He stared blankly at the owner of these hands, and read the words from the other's lips: "Can you give me a cigarette, please?"

Have you blinded your dog's eyes?In my memory, Su Xiyao, who always thought of her as gentle and gentle as a Jiangnan woman, actually took the initiative to ask her for cigarettes! ?

This is really the first time to look away.

Li Huan sighed sadly and nostalgicly in his heart, while pushing the cigarette in front of the other party, seeing the familiar woman in front of him taking and lighting a cigarette, he suddenly felt so sad again.

To a certain extent, he and this woman named Su Xiyao have the same standpoint, they both miss that stupid man in his heart, and that stupid man misses another man who no longer exists.

Su Xiyao took a deep puff of cigarette, and continued: "Su Nan came to see me last night, and it was you."

Hearing this, Li Huan's hand trembled suddenly, almost burning his fingers with the cigarette butt.

"In fact, Sunan mentioned you to me a long time ago, saying that you are very similar to my brother, so I came to the training class later to see how much this man who he said looks like my brother is like."

Li Huan looked at her face and asked cautiously, "How similar is it?"

Su Xiyao gave him a blank look, and replied: "It's not like at all! If you really want to say what it looks like, it's just that the dance steps are as bad as my brother's. At that time, no matter how many times Sunan taught a dance step, I couldn't bear it." Brother can’t learn it, and will step on his feet every time.”

Su Xiyao burst into tears while talking.

Sitting next to her, Li Huan felt for the first time that it was wise for him not to speak.

Hearing the other party's low cry, he suddenly felt that he understood why Su Xiyao was crying.

I would rather the other party love my elder brother till death than fall in love with someone else, because then I would not be able to stay by that person's side in the name of missing my elder brother.

Just like myself, knowing that I was rejected, I still miss him, even if it's just in the name of dancing, I don't want to stay away from that person.

This state of mind is surprisingly similar.
