In previous years, when the Chinese New Year came, all his friends would go back to their hometowns. Li Yichu stayed alone in Shanghai with nowhere to go.He doesn't like the burden of traveling long distances. He usually fills the refrigerator with food before the new year, and stays at home during the ten-day holiday of the Chinese New Year, eating and sleeping, which is the best way for him to rest.In his first year in Shanghai, he also went to the Bund to join in the excitement, but he was either a couple or a family with his family. It was even more exciting for him to go shopping and come back, so he might as well watch the Spring Festival Gala at home.

Before the holiday, Liang Xuan had to take her mother for a re-examination, so the two didn't have much time to see each other.Only on the night before Liang Xuan returned to his hometown, in the middle of the night while his mother was fast asleep, he sneaked to Li Yichu's house, hugged him and slept peacefully for a few hours, and went back before dawn.

On the first day of the holiday, Li Yichu slept until someone knocked on the door before waking up. After opening the door, there was a takeaway boy standing at the door.At first glance, Li Yi knew that Liang Xuan had ordered the meal for him. Before Liang Xuan left, he looked at the pile of instant food in his refrigerator, and his brows almost knit together.

During the Chinese New Year, the TV shows are similar. Li Yichu is watching movies on the sofa with his iPad in his arms. He is usually busy with work and has no time to go to the cinema. Now he catches up on new movies when he has free time. Otherwise, he will not have a common language with those young people when he goes to the company. All.Once a person works, he can't read books. His French is advancing at a fast pace, and he can probably ask for directions when he goes to France now.

All these years New Year's Eve was spent alone, Li Yichu thought it was no big deal at first, but when the TV hosts were beaming and wishing everyone a happy New Year, Li Yichu turned the ring on his hand, still feeling empty in his heart.Everyone is like this, it doesn't matter if you don't get it, once you get it, you can't bear to lose it.

The group of colleagues was scrambling for red envelopes. Li Yichu clicked on it every second, but the result was one yuan or two, which was not enough to order a takeaway. So he quickly received a large number of pictures of kneeling and calling Dad, he almost died laughing, picked a runaway manga with his dad hugging his thigh and crying and his knees were drowned, and forwarded it to Liang Xuan .

A few minutes later, Liang Xuan sent back a red envelope with the words "Good boy, dad loves you".

Li Yichu: "..."

Liang Xuan went to Xiamen on the second day of the Lunar New Year.He wanted Li Yichu to stay by his side from now on, so there were some things that should be checked out.Where there is concealment, there is the unknown, and the unknown is the most unacceptable thing for Liang Xuan.He sat on the plane and touched the ring on his finger. They were already married, no matter what was found out, Li Yichu could not leave him again.

Li Yichu was bored at home, and Liang Xuan's daily calls could not relieve his desire to see people. The tenth day of the first lunar month was Liang Xuan's birthday, and Li Yichu almost broke his computer and didn't think about giving him any gifts.

People on the Internet are not good people. When they hear that they want to give gifts to their lovers, they all reply that they wash themselves, pack them up and send them to bed, which doesn't meet Li Yichu's psychological expectations of being elegant and aggressive at all.

On the seventh day of the lunar new year, Liang Xuan officially went to work. Liang Xuan hadn't returned to Shanghai in the afternoon of the sixth day. He told Li Yichu on the phone that his mother's old problem had happened, and he would return to Shanghai in a few days.Although Li Yichu was a little disappointed, he still asked him to take good care of Aunt Liu.

In the afternoon of the ninth day of the ninth day, Li Yichu asked for leave to go back to He County.He couldn't let Liang Xuan not even have a birthday present.

He wanted to surprise Liang Xuan, so he found a hotel to stay in without notifying him in advance, and only came out for dinner after dark.Opposite the hotel was a fruit stand. When Li Yi first stepped out of the hotel lobby, he saw a familiar figure on the opposite side. He stood behind the revolving door and carefully identified it for a while, making sure that it was Aunt Liu.

Didn't you say that you have committed an old problem?Why are you so vigorously bargaining with people to buy fruit?

Li Yichu took out his phone and sent a message: "Have you eaten yet?"

Liang Xuan was standing outside the building of the company where Li Yichu had worked at the beginning. He had just chatted with the doorman and was going to visit Zhang Ping, an employee of the company's HR department, at night.

In seven days, he traveled all over the large and small technology companies in Xiamen City, asking his friends if he could, and using his resume as a cover to meet the company leaders if he couldn't. According to the rule of six, it is easiest to find someone from a career .Li Yichu stayed in Xiamen for a while, and his most likely job was as a programmer.Sure enough, yesterday when he was chatting with a company programmer, he met Lu Xin's college classmate, and then came to the current company.Liang Xuan regretted that he was careless at the time, and didn't check out Lu Xin's resume file to take a look. When he remembered, he had already taken his annual leave, which led to many wrong roads during his trip to Xiamen.Although he wasn't sure if Li Yichu and Lu Xin had worked in the same company, at least he found a trace of connection that could be deepened.

Before seeing Zhang Ping, Liang Xuan adjusted his phone to vibrate, saw the message from Li Yichu on the screen, and planned to reply to him after chatting.

Liang Xuan made an appointment with Zhang Ping through Lu Xin's friend. Zhang Ping was in charge of attendance at the company and would also recruit people for the company. Liang Xuan wanted to change jobs, so she came out without eating.

Liang Xuan first introduced herself. Zhang Ping's eyes lit up with her glittering resume. If this kind of talent can be recruited by the company, her quarterly bonus would be so impressive.Seeing her relaxed attitude, Liang Xuan went straight to her goal: "I heard that Sister Zhang has been working in the company for almost ten years?"

Zhang Ping is 38 years old, and she is an elderly person among the company's employees. Basically all employees call her sister.Wen Yan replied: "Yes, ten years."

Liang Xuan: "Then Lu Xin and Li Yichu, do you have any impression of these two names?"

Zhang Ping tilted her head and thought for a while, pointing her fingers: "I have the impression that they are all old employees of our company. They left about five or six years ago? I don't remember Lu Xin clearly. It seems that he came to the company after graduation." Yes, Li Yichu was very impressed, he became the team leader not long after joining the company, he is so good-looking, even the little girls in the company can't walk around when they see him."

Liang Xuan's face darkened, his back was stiff as if being pulled by someone, he continued to ask: "How did he join the company and why did he resign, do you still remember?"

Zhang Ping smiled: "I don't know the reason for resignation. I only know that he was seriously ill at the time, and he came back to resign before he recovered. I saw that everyone else was thin and out of shape. But I know how he entered the company, because At that time, my cousin came to the company several times and fell in love with Li Yichu. She wanted me to set a red line. When I thought about it, I had to find out where Li Yichu was from and what university he went to, so I asked our manager for his resume. Look. That's when I realized that he didn't even go to college, and he was specially recruited by our boss because of his technical level."

Liang Xuan grabbed Zhang Ping's wrist and said eagerly, "Isn't he a returnee?!"

Liang Xuan was a man, Zhang Ping gasped in pain with just a little effort in his hands. She didn't understand why the man in front of her suddenly lost control, and broke free while saying, "What returnee, he's just a self-taught bachelor's degree."

The self-examination undergraduate degree, these few words hit the top of Liang Xuan's head with a heavy accent, and his mouth seemed to open several times before he recovered his voice: "Then where did he work before joining your company, do you know? ?”

Zhang Ping shook her head: "I don't know. He was recruited directly by the boss, and we don't care."

After coming out of the restaurant, Liang Xuan had the urge to call Lu Xin several times to find out, but he looked at the text message on the phone and pressed his fingers to turn it off.

He wants to figure out everything bit by bit.

Li Yichu began to lose news of Liang Xuan from the night of the ninth day of the lunar new year, and the phone was turned off when he called, but the message did not return.He also optimistically wondered if Liang Xuan was teasing him on purpose. At twelve o'clock on the night of the tenth, he still couldn't contact Liang Xuan. Li Yichu couldn't wait any longer, and went to Liu Fan's house on the morning of the eleventh of the first lunar month.

Liu Fan saw that he didn't even let him in, so he stood at the door and asked him what he wanted to do?

Li Yichu didn't talk nonsense, and asked immediately, "Aunt Liu, is Liang Xuan at home?"

Liu Fan didn't want him to have any contact with Liang Xuan, so he said coldly after hearing the words: "Not here, I went to work. I don't know where I work."

Li Yichu didn't care about her expression at all, and continued to ask: "When did you leave?"

When Liu Fan heard that he was talking endlessly, he was about to close the door.Li Yichu directly blocked the door crack with his hand, with a resolute and domineering attitude, perfectly playing the image that Liu Fan hates: "You tell me when he left, and I will leave right away."

Liu Fan: "The second day of the first lunar month!"

"Bang" the door rang, and Liu Fan cursed inside: "I told you not to come back, do you understand?!"

Li Yichu was furious, and kept calling Liang Xuan. Good for you, Liang Xuan, he left on the second day of the first lunar month, and he still hasn't seen anyone!

Liang Xuan's cell phone kept coming in with calls and text messages. Li Yichu started from "Where have you been?! Come back soon!" to "Where are you? Did something happen?" in the end.Ten or twenty text messages were sent every day, but Liang Xuan never replied.He found Li Yichu's former boss on the grounds of project cooperation, tried his best to inquire about Li Yichu's situation before joining the company, got some fragmented information, and knew some people who had dealt with Li Yichu. Follow the traces to investigate and slowly piece together the facts.

Liang Xuan found it very difficult to take every step forward. It seemed that there were countless ropes pulling him back, preventing him from exploring the past, but these were not scary. What was really scary was that he could not control his imagination. It was as if there was a bottomless black hole ahead, waiting for him to jump into it.

Li Yichu's text message came in on time again, Liang Xuan looked down and pressed the switch off.

Liang Xuan stood in the shared room arranged for the teachers by Canxing Classroom, and beside him was Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of Canxing.Mr. Zhang pointed to a room and said to him: "This room was lived in by Li Yichu at that time, and he lived there for three years."

Liang Xuan went to the wooden bed and sat down, looked around at the simple things around, then crossed his hands to support his head, and did not move for a long time.

It took a while for Mr. Zhang to see the young man sitting in the middle of the plank bed trying to control the shaking of his shoulders. Standing Mr. Zhang could only see the back of his head and his neck with bulging veins.

Only then did Mr. Zhang realize that this person was crying.

Mr. Zhang was not surprised, because from the moment he saw this young man, every time he asked a question, his answer seemed to be waving a whip at him. Mr. Zhang seemed to be able to see the pain of the whip passing through his body , this young man seemed to have been pulled out bit by bit, and the severe pain was layered on top of each other, which was completely a kind of torture visible to the naked eye.

Li Yichu has worked with me for three years. I remember that he was just an adult at that time. If it weren't for his excellent college entrance examination results, I wouldn't dare to take him.

How is work?Hey, I'm very tired. His class hours alone are as good as those of our two teachers.

Why resign?It seems that he passed the undergraduate certificate and went to work in a regular company, I don't remember clearly.

He doesn't have many friends, we are either college students or teachers, and he has a good relationship with a few college students.Contact information?These college students have long since stopped working with me. How about I give you their old phone numbers and try it out.

……

Liang Xuan's mind was full of Mr. Zhang's answer just now, and every word lingered in his ears clearly and resoundingly.

The Li Yichu he saw was turned away alone; the 19-year-old Li Yichu was rushing between intensive courses, and he could only lie on this wooden bed for a short rest in the early morning; reading books at work.

And what was he doing?

The lotus pond and lake view of Q University, the all-day heating in the study room, the invigorating football game on the playground, respected professors, excellent and friendly classmates, and olive branches that come after graduation.

These things that he took for granted were all unattainable dreams for Li Yichu.
