Chapter 40

In the short-lived feeling of weightlessness, the plane finally landed, and there were still small snowflakes in City B.

I took the flight at noon, and it was still dark at the moment. It was the day before and after work, and the traffic was extra congested.

Ren Fusheng seemed very sleepy on the plane, and now he closed his eyes and did not speak.

In just a few days, Qin Chu seemed to have experienced a different kind of life, and Qin Chu also became very quiet, leaning slightly sideways against the car door, sizing up Ren Yuan who had been staring out the window.

I didn't ask anyone about anything, I got the answer from everyone's behavior and words, and I felt like stepping into the whirlpool unprepared.It turns out that such past events are still hidden, and there is no joy in my heart because of the windfall, nor the satisfaction of being the only person who knows Ren Yuan's life experience.

Qin Chu blinked and asked, "Are you hungry? What would you and auntie want to eat tonight?"

Ren Yuan turned his face away, thought for a while, and asked, "Mom, do you want to eat hot pot? It's snowing, it's just right."

Ren Fusheng replied lazily: "I want to eat dessert."

Ren Yuan's appearance always made Qin Chu feel that he was doting on his face, and while taking out his mobile phone, he replied: "Okay, I'll order a cake directly, and send it home later."

After a while, Ren Yuan suddenly turned his head and asked, "Go home tomorrow? Send the things back to pack in the morning, and have dinner with Lin Youxi and the others in the afternoon."

Qin Chu nodded.

When the three arrived home, the two boys lined up to take a shower, and Ren Fusheng packed the big bag of homemade food and various dried fruits stuffed by Grandma Ren.

When the two came out, Ren Fusheng took a shower and sat on the sofa to watch TV.Not long after, the cake was also delivered. Ren Fusheng cut half of the eight-inch cake and took it away, sitting cross-legged on the sofa to enjoy it.

Qin Chuguang felt tired of eating sweets at night, Ren Yuan didn't eat much, so the two went to the kitchen to cook some noodles, and each ate a small bowl.

After Ren Fusheng finished his portion, he looked up at Qin Chu's untouched piece, and then at Ren Yuan's, which had only eaten a corner. Before reaching out, Ren Yuan picked it up and put it in the refrigerator. In a completely non-negotiable tone: "Let's eat tomorrow."

Ren Fusheng didn't bother, he tossed the fork casually and steadily entered the trash can outside the coffee table, covered himself with a pillow and focused on watching TV.

Ren Yuan told Qin Chu to go upstairs to the bedroom.

It's not that they're tired, it's just that they're a little tired in an indescribable way. With the lights on in the room, the two of them fell on their backs on the bed.

"Auntie likes sweets?"

"Well, especially when coming back from there."

As if he had touched some taboo, Qin Chu paused for a while, and looked around every corner of the room with his eyes back and forth.Suddenly stopping his gaze on the bookshelf, Huo Di sat up and asked, "You... keep it as it is?"

Ren Yuan knew what he was referring to, it was a Christmas gift from Qin Chu.Inside were ninety-nine-yuan and nine-corner RMB for change, folded into various shapes and packed in round glass bottles, and a pair of gloves, but he had already used them.

"Hmm... nice for decoration"

Qin Chu leaned back with his hands propped up, tilted his head to look at Ren Yuan, and said nonchalantly, "My nickname is Xixi, you can call me Xixi."

Ren Yuan didn't answer.

Qin Chu didn't care, and continued, "Keep it well, the gift I gave you."

That is the promise I want to give you, for a long time.Qin Chu silently added in his heart.

Ren Yuan still didn't respond, Qin Chu gave a wry smile with a strange expression on his face, and said to himself, "That's right." You haven't agreed yet, but it's just a one-man show, and the promise is like a joke.

Qin Chu pulled the quilt and got under the quilt. Seeing that Ren Yuan still didn't move, no one answered when he called twice, turned over and got closer, only to find that Ren Yuan had fallen asleep.

Qin Chu lowered his head slightly and smiled, carefully moved the person to the right, carefully covered the quilt, and finally kissed the corner of the boy's lips like a dragonfly, turned off the light, and lay down beside him with a satisfied face.

He vaguely heard the sound of the door closing downstairs, and then fell silent.

Ren Fusheng wore a thick coat, wrapped in a scarf, and went out with a messenger bag on his back.

It’s not easy to get a car in winter night. I stood on the side of the road at the entrance of the community for a long time. The snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger. They look very beautiful in the neon lights of the night. On the face, a trace of coolness dissipated.

The passing traffic became less and less, and the private car stopped in front of it, honking its horn: "Where are you going, Miss?"

Ren Fusheng came back to his senses slowly, and shook his head towards the owner of the car.

An empty car turned around from the opposite side of the road and drove slowly behind hesitantly, Ren Fusheng beckoned and walked.

The bar at night was full of hustle and bustle, Ren Fusheng found a relatively secluded place to sit and ordered a drink.

Tonight is the last night before going to work. On the stage is a little-known local band. The lead singer's voice is hoarse and magnetic, singing original songs, and a considerable number of fans in the audience are cheering.

The vibrating shift of the phone buzzing on the table.

Ren Fusheng glanced at it, he paused his hand that was about to turn off the phone, and answered it.

"Why is it so noisy? Are you in a bar?" Lan Huimin frowned on the other end of the phone.

Ren Fusheng hummed quietly.

"Wait for me to pass right away."

"No, I just came out to sit and relax before going to work."

Only the busy tone remained on the receiver.

Lan Huimin quickly rushed over, entered the door, searched around, locked on the target, walked up to Ren Fusheng without stopping, dropped her bag, took off her coat, and greeted the waiter: "Why are you drinking alone at night? .”

"No."

"Grandma doesn't call me for drinking, what do you mean?"

Ren Fusheng smiled, and glanced at the stage from the corner of his eye: "This original song is suitable for the occasion."

Lan Huimin nodded and said yes, the two clinked glasses and drank in a leisurely manner, Lan Huimin said lazily: "I really don't want to go to work tomorrow, but I suddenly found that it's better for you now, saying that the annual leave is only half a month. months."

Ren Fusheng smiled and didn't answer, Lan Huimin started talking to himself, how he got involved with Qin Chu without knowing it, Lan Huimin held the cup to his mouth, and took a small sip.

"You don't know that the moment I opened the door, I saw Qin Chu's expression, and I really wanted to rush in and drag you all away.

I always feel that he should have something special to understand you.That kind of innumerable grievance, anger and helplessness made me want to hug him at that time.It's like... I can imagine what you were like back then, but you couldn't pull back ten stubborn cows at that time, and I couldn't help you. I also know that I can't help you at all.

We have known each other for so many years, every time... every time I think about it, my heart hurts. "

Lan Huimin drank the rest of the wine in one gulp, turned her face away, and wiped her tears.

It was a rare time that Ren Fusheng didn't laugh at Keiko, a science and engineering student who often had poor words. He twirled his finger along the rim of the cup, nodded, and said quietly: "With the current Ren Yuan accompanying me, let the past go."

Lan Huimin nodded uncompromisingly, and asked the waiter to serve the wine again.

Ren Fusheng frowned slightly: "Stop drinking, you still have to go to work tomorrow morning."

"I'll stay at your place tonight. Just pretend that the plane is missed and I'll go to work one day later." Lan Huimin waved her hands slightly drunk.

The two of them came out of the bar around two o'clock in the morning. Ren Fusheng was a little dizzy from drinking, and he barely walked alone. Lan Huimin was already in a daze and was about to fall asleep, so he had to be supported by Ren Fusheng. Car, the two of them went straight home in the car.

When it was time to pay, Ren Fusheng took out his pocket, thought it was some small change, but now he took it out and found it was a note, he put it back into his pocket without paying attention, took out his wallet from his bag and paid the fare. Half-embracing Lan Huimin into the elevator.

The room was quiet, Ren Fusheng dragged Lan Huimin to the guest room, helped her tidy up and covered the quilt, and then went to the bedroom yawning, suddenly remembered the note, hung the coat on the hanger, took it out, and went to the bedroom. bedroom go.

It says on the note paper: My sister has a good temperament, please make friends~

Below is the name and phone number.

Ren Fusheng was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing when he realized it, he threw it into the trash can, it must be when he was going out, the lady who was looking a little handsome bumped into her, knocked her and Keiko staggered, fortunately He quickly grabbed the two of them so that they would not fall down, and even pulled off her clothes thoughtfully, so that was the intention.

The hot water from the shower rushed over his body, instantly dispelling most of the chill, Ren Fusheng standing under the shower rubbing his hair suddenly stopped, and slowly covered his face.

My father said that people have their own destiny, just like the one you met in the pear garden when you were a child, it shouldn't have a hand in it.

Ren Fusheng sighed silently, it really shouldn't be.
