Urban Romance: The 7° Distance

Well, Xiao Yao looked at the captain's uniform that was covered with stains and was about to enter the trash recycling bin, and thought with a headache, next time it's better to play other games. As for the uniform, let's talk about it when we have time.

The weather on New Year's Eve was very good, the sky was blue in the morning, and the sea in the south was not as cold as it should be during Chinese New Year. Many tourists gathered on the deck to enjoy the sea view, but Shu Qingfeng didn't have this kind of leisure time. He just came for a morning jog. The deck is wide and suitable for exercise. He always likes to exercise in the morning, but today he feels a bit bad. The reason is obvious, it was caused by too intense exercise last night.

His waist was a little sore, Shu Qingfeng stopped after running for a while, leaned against the side of the boat to rest, he found that after getting to know Xiao Yao, he changed a lot, one was that the seasickness that had always troubled him was relieved, the other was His heart softened, he let Xiao Yao go last night because of an excuse of work, he was not at all like his previous self.

A light flashed in the distance, it was the light of a flashlight, Shu Qingfeng ignored it, anyway, even if he didn't turn his head to look, he knew that the boy was secretly taking pictures, the boy had been following them secretly for the past two days, Xiao Yao was too nervous to notice , but he soon found out, but the boy didn't do anything other than peeping, so he just didn't know it, until last night when the boy made an inch and wanted to take a photo together, he directly refused.

Now it seems that the young man is still unwilling to give up and wants to find an opportunity to take a sneak shot, but it is a pity that Xiao Yao is too busy and it is difficult for him to find it, so he turns the target to himself. It is a strange motive that makes Shu Qingfeng a little interested in his existence up.

Because of the tension and the angle, the boy’s candid shot was unsuccessful. He hid in the corner annoyedly, lowered his head and fiddled with the camera in his hand, when suddenly his eyes darkened, and a figure stood in front of him, blocking the incoming sunlight. He raised his head , when he found out that it was Shu Qingfeng, his hands shook in fright, and the camera almost fell to the ground.

"You need to get used to doing bad things slowly," Shu Qingfeng put his hands in his trouser pockets, watching the boy's nervous reaction after he found himself funny, "It's best not to use such an expensive prop for the first time, or it will break , it’s not worth it.”

The young man's face was flushed. Shu Qingfeng's words clearly showed that he had seen all his little movements. In order to prevent the camera from being taken away, he put it into the backpack at a fast speed, and then turned to Shu Qingfeng and said loudly: "That's right. With so much experience, you’ve done a lot of bad things, haven’t you?”

In Shu Qingfeng's eyes, this kind of provocation was just a bluff. He didn't intend to expose the boy's tricks, and smiled and said, "No, but half of my clients are terrible."

"That proves that you are also a bad person."

"I think so," Shu Qingfeng agreed with a smile, "otherwise, why would I be chatting with you here?"

This is ironic that he is also a bad type of person, right?

The boy's Chinese is not very good, but he guessed it should be like this, but even though he knew that Shu Qingfeng was mocking him, he couldn't find the right words to refute, and he also knew that arguing with Shu Qingfeng would not take advantage of him, hum Shu Qingfeng didn't stop him, but said behind him: "You seem to hate me very much."

"I'm not so weird that I hate someone I don't even know!"

"That's right, it's as weird as taking pictures of people you don't know."

The young man was frightened by Shu Qingfeng's words. He thought he had sensed something, and turned around to argue. Unexpectedly, someone passed by. He was unprepared, and was bumped. The book in the side pocket of the backpack fell to the ground. Shu Qingfeng stepped forward to help him Pick it up, it's a Chinese conversation textbook.

Before he looked carefully, the book had already been snatched away. The young man didn't even thank him. Who is it, because his name is clearly written in the lower corner of the inside page of that book——Xiao Sun.

Xiao Xun hurriedly ran back to the restaurant. His parents had already finished their meal. They were sitting on a seat by the window drinking tea and watching the scenery outside. Compared with the sea view, the restaurant's layout was more attractive. , because of the Chinese New Year, the decoration is quite festive, the red lanterns are hung on the second floor, and the surroundings are covered with blessings. The warm and lively festive atmosphere cannot be felt in Canada.

"Are you looking for your elder brother again?"

Seeing her son running back panting, Xiao's mother knew where he had gone. From the moment he got on the boat, whenever he had a chance, Xiao Xuan would run to find Xiao Yao, saying that he wanted to talk to him, but every time it was the same as now. In this way, come back dejectedly.

Xiao Xun was a little frustrated when he was pointed out. After sitting down, he said in a low voice: "No, I just walked around casually. He is the captain and he is very busy. I can't meet him at all."

"Don't go in the future."

A deep voice sounded, Xiao Sun raised his head, and saw his father's stern gaze, saying: "We are just traveling, don't disturb others."

"It's not someone else, it's Big Brother..."

"I said no more!"

The voice became heavier, with a scolding tone that could not be defied, Xiao Xun was very angry, opened his mouth to refute, his eyes glanced at the wheelchair his father was sitting in, and finally held back.Yes, they just came to take a boat vacation. The family relationship that has been separated for many years no longer needs any ties and maintenance, or even their disturbance, just look at it from a distance.

This was agreed at the beginning, but after boarding the boat, Xiao Xun couldn't help but ran to visit Xiao Yao. The two brothers were ten years apart. The child who doesn't understand, only knows that after a fierce quarrel, the eldest brother who loved him all the time disappeared, and no one mentioned it in front of him afterwards.

After many years, of course Xiao Yao won't remember his appearance, but Xiao Yao's appearance hasn't changed much. If there is a change, it should be that he has broken away from his original childishness and enthusiasm, and has become a polite but alienated gentleman.

"I'm just a little curious about the captain's job and want to know more about it."

Xiao Xun didn't like his father's coercion and arbitrariness, but when he saw his mother winking at him, he knew that she was worried about his father's health. In order not to make him angry, he stopped arguing. He sighed and said, "Let's talk about it later."

"Yeah, if you run over like this often, you will be noticed. If your elder brother knows that we are on the boat, it will be embarrassing for both of us."

Mother Xiao's words relieved the slightly stiff atmosphere. Xiao Xuan nodded, agreeing, but still couldn't help but said: "Mom, don't worry, brother is so busy, there are thousands of tourists on board, he won't notice us .”

"not necessarily."

A clear voice sounded from behind, and it felt familiar, as if he had been in contact with him just now, Xiao Xuan's heart skipped a beat, he turned his head hastily, and saw Shu Qingfeng walking over, just like he usually does in court, with a little bit of distraction And the incomparable arrogance that people can't look at.

"You, you..." Suddenly seeing Shu Qingfeng appearing, Xiao Su was surprised, and called, "Why did you come?"

"Maybe it's a coincidence," Shu Qingfeng came over, sat down on the only vacant seat in front of the table, and said with a pun, "It's like you happened to get on a boat."

The Xiao family couple didn't speak, but Xiao Su couldn't hold back, and wanted to ask again. The waiter came over and asked Shu Qingfeng if he wanted to order food. Shu Qingfeng refused, saying, "A glass of boiled water is fine."

When the waiter walked away, Shu Qingfeng's eyes turned on the Xiao family and his wife. He had seen them many times before, but this was the first time he looked at these two people so seriously. He is dressed in an old-fashioned way, with gray hair, and the serious and stubborn demeanor between his brows does not diminish, but it also makes him look much older than his actual age. He is trying to maintain his due momentum, but he is not too successful.

Relatively speaking, Mrs. Xiao feels more approachable. Although the statistics say that she is a career-oriented woman, she does not have many characteristics of a strong woman. She has elaborate make-up, but she can't hide the tiredness inside-it's really not an easy task to take care of a patient who can't move around freely and has a bad personality.

While Shu Qingfeng was looking at them, Xiao Jingren was also looking at him. He had heard Shu Qingfeng's court trials countless times. The man was not as aggressive as in court, but he also clearly showed his unfriendliness, so he asked: "You Know who we are?"

"You have audited the cases I was responsible for many times, you don't think I didn't notice it?"

Shu Qingfeng raised his leg and put it on the other leg, leaned against the back of the chair, and put his hands in front of his abdomen. He made casual movements, but secretly revealed a sense of defense.

In fact, as early as a few months ago, he noticed the existence of the Xiao family couple. Whenever he encountered a case he was in charge of, they would go to listen in. As the number of times increased, he naturally became aware of it, and then conducted an investigation. Unexpectedly, he went to test his grandfather, and found that Grandpa Chen didn't know about their return, and Father Xiao didn't take any other actions, so he didn't expose it, but now it seems that he needs to preemptively strike, and he won't let others hurt To Xiaoyao, not even once!

So Shu Qingfeng continued: "I don't like to beat around the bush. Mr. Xiao Jingren, no matter what purpose you have in trying to get close to my client, please end this meaningless matter immediately."

"There is no purpose! We just met by chance when we were traveling on a boat!"

Xiao Xun's rebuttal was replaced by Shu Qingfeng's disdainful snort, "I think being caught doing bad things and making you feel embarrassed is not bad enough, smart enough and not thorough enough. If you plan to become a lawyer in the future, you'd better remember not to Telling such a lie that can be broken at the first poke, it will only make people doubt your IQ."

"you you!"

Xiao Xun was speechless because of this eloquent conversation. His Chinese was not fluent in the first place, and he couldn't think of how to refute at this moment. There were also some curse words mixed in, Shu Qingfeng ignored it, and said to Xiao Jingren: "Mr. Xiao, I have great sympathy for your expectations about to come to nothing."

Xiao Jingren clenched his hand on the wheelchair subconsciously. Ever since Xiao Yao let him down, he had been expecting his youngest son to inherit his mantle, but it was obvious that Xiao Xun was not made to be a lawyer, because he even He couldn't do basic calmness, but he understood that he couldn't help but be angry when he was called out so mercilessly, and said coldly: "Mr. Are you qualified to warn us?"

Shu Qingfeng found the feeling of tit-for-tat in the courtroom. This is his favorite game. He is not afraid of having no opponent, but he is afraid that the opponent is too stupid to make him enjoy himself. Now it seems that Xiao Jingren is not bad, so He smiled and replied, "I'm Xiao Yao's personal lawyer and lover, isn't that enough qualification?"

Ever since Shu Qingfeng appeared, Xiao's mother has been silent. When she heard this sentence, her expression moved slightly, and she looked at Shu Qingfeng again, as if she wanted to see the authenticity of his words from this confident and proud man. Xiao Jingren was slightly surprised by Shu Qingfeng's straightforward answer, and said calmly, "You are very frank."

"In most cases, I am very honest, because this is the basic of being a human being, so I also hope that Mr. Xiao can be honest and tell your purpose."

"You seem to be speaking to the suspect in charge, young man, when I was a lawyer, I often used this trick - to exchange sincerity for trust, and then achieve your goal, so don't try to lie Me, honesty is one thing, exploiting honesty is another."

"It's 'back then', you're old now." Shu Qingfeng smiled restrainedly, looked at Xiao Jingren, and coldly pierced the self-esteem he worked so hard to maintain, "I heard that you are not doing well now, and your brain was injured in a car accident. You can no longer work as a lawyer, and your health is also very bad. You can't adapt to the severe cold in Canada, so you have to go back to rest. In order to avoid the social circle in the past, you live in seclusion, because you don't want your friends to see you now. You look like this, do you think you are still useful?"

The understatement was the heaviest blow. Xiao Jingren seemed to have aged a little in an instant, but he still maintained his proper calm demeanor. However, Xiao Su couldn't hold back anymore, pointed at Shu Qingfeng, and angrily accused: "You, don't push people too much!"

"I'm just stating the truth, which is also the basis of being a lawyer. If I'm wrong, you can refute it."

"That's right."

When the truth was revealed, Xiao Jingren didn't want to go around in circles any more. He didn't care about Shu Qingfeng's ridicule. On the contrary, he admired this man very much. Most of the wins.

He spent most of his life in court, and he always hoped that his two sons could follow the same path as himself, but now he found to his disappointment that they were not like him, but Shu Qingfeng, who looked a bit like him when he was young, but They are not the same, at least he is not as honest and courageous as Shu Qingfeng, he dare not tell others that his son is gay.

"It seems that you have investigated me," he said to Shu Qingfeng, "and the investigation was very detailed."

"Because I don't like to fight uncertain battles. Someone is trying to get close to us. Of course I have to understand what the other party's intentions are."

But at that time Xiao Xun was still studying in Canada and had only recently returned, so Shu Qingfeng didn't know him, otherwise he would have known that the three of Xiao's family were on board early in the morning.

"Young people, don't always speculate about other people's intentions maliciously, we just want to see, that's all."

"Sorry, this is my occupational disease, because your behavior makes me think so," Shu Qingfeng replied lightly: "From the perspective of family affection, a person who abandons his child is not qualified to be called a father. From the perspective of law, More than ten years ago, you severed the father-son relationship with my client, and you may even commit the crime of abandonment. Therefore, you have nothing to do with him except for providing sperm. Then, let's speculate maliciously again, your career is halfway Severance, living abroad is not satisfactory, and the younger son can’t bear your expectations. When you come back, you see the eldest son and find that he is living a good life, so you regret it and want to play family games.”

"I really regret my impulsiveness back then," Xiao Jingren sighed, and had to say that Shu Qingfeng had hit his heart. He said frankly: "That era was not as open as it is now, so when I heard that my child You can imagine my shock and outrage when I was gay."

"You're not angry, you're just disappointed, because he didn't follow the path you arranged. He's just a homosexual, not a virus. But when he needed his loved ones the most, he was abandoned indifferently. He hurt his own children. , That’s something no beast can do, in a sense, Mr. Xiao, you are very powerful.”

There was a sobbing sound from the side, and Mother Xiao bowed her head and began to cry. Xiao Su was a little at a loss, and wanted to refute, but felt that Shu Qingfeng was right, so he begged, "I'm sorry, my father is not in good health, and he also regrets treating him that way. My brother, please stop accusing him."

"I'm not accusing, I'm just stating the facts. Do you know how Xiao Yao's college life was? He spent almost all his time on studies and part-time jobs. Grandpa gave him a pension, and he saved it after changing hands. He said it was grandpa's coffin book and could not be moved, but at that time, your family was enjoying life comfortably abroad. Mr. Xiao, besides giving him life, what other responsibilities have you fulfilled? He is living very well now Okay, so you regret your decision at the beginning, but from another perspective, if he is depraved and indulged now, taking drugs, prostitution and killing people, would you still regret it? Would you say triumphantly that this is the result you expected a long time ago? I said These are not meant to win sympathy or make you feel guilty, I just want to tell you that he can live just fine without you, and you are the most dispensable one!"

Mother Xiao's crying was louder. She tried her best to restrain it, but it made people feel the depression even more. Xiao Xuan also looked at Shu Qingfeng in shock. He knew that his elder brother must be very sad when he was kicked out, but he always felt that there was something wrong with him. Grandpa took care of me, I wouldn't live too hard, and now I realize how naive my thoughts are, I really don't dare to think if I was the one who was kicked out of the house, would I be able to survive so strongly.

All that should be said has been said, Shu Qingfeng felt relieved, Xiao Jingren has not said a word, I don't know whether it is speechless or remorse, but it has nothing to do with him, stood up, and made the final conclusion: "So, you throw it with your own hands. Don’t try to get back the things you lost. Regret is the cheapest and most meaningless of all relationships. Things that have passed will not be changed because of your regrets. Apart from making everyone unhappy, what effect does it have? I can't get up!"

After Shu Qingfeng finished speaking, he turned around and left. As soon as he left the restaurant, he heard footsteps chasing after him. It was Xiao Sun, who timidly stopped after catching up with him. Maybe what Shu Qingfeng said just now shocked him a lot. , He didn't have the arrogance he had at the beginning, and said in a low voice, "Actually, my dad just wanted to get closer to see Big Brother, and didn't want to disturb your life."

Even if the man really realizes his past mistakes, what can that prove?And they were not interested in what outsiders thought, but Shu Qingfeng didn't attack Xiao Xun, and nodded to show that he knew.

"Please don't tell elder brother about this." Seeing that Shu Qingfeng was about to leave, Xiao Sun hurriedly called him back, explaining, "I don't want elder brother to hate us."

"I don't like lying, especially such obvious lies."

Hearing what Shu Qingfeng said, Xiao Xuan's shoulders drooped, his face looked downcast, Shu Qingfeng knew his worry, and said, "I don't know what Xiao Yao will think, but at least he won't hate you."

Xiao Xun raised his head immediately, staring at him brightly, as if asking——Really?

"I think he's not a person who likes to vent his anger, especially to his only younger brother."

"Thank you!" The young man was very satisfied with this answer. After he finished speaking, he was afraid that he might misunderstand something, so he immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't look down on big brother because of his sexuality!"

You count that onion, who cares whether you look down on it or not.

Xiao Xun didn't know what Shu Qingfeng was complaining about. After thanking him, he happily ran back and looked at his back. She has a great attachment to Xiao Yao, but luckily the pair of brothers did not live together all the time, otherwise such a brother-obsessed guy must be a big light bulb that gets in the way.

When Shu Qingfeng returned to the captain's room, Xiao Yao had already returned, and was setting out the breakfast brought by the boat. When he saw him, he asked, "Where did you go for your morning run? You can't be found on the monitor."

Of course, the monitor is not omnipotent. It is impossible for such a large passenger ship to have monitoring devices everywhere. Xiao Yao was able to track him before because of his acquiescence, but just now he chose the angle on purpose, he did not want to During the New Year, Xiao Yao was unhappy about this kind of thing.

He sat down on the seat, Xiao Yao handed over the bowl and chopsticks, looked at his expression, and asked, "What happened? You don't seem very happy?"

Shu Qingfeng hates the intuition of birds and animals a little bit, and Xiao Yao is dull most of the time, but occasionally he has a burst of inspiration, although in another sense, this is also a manifestation of Xiao Yao's concern for him.

"I just taught someone an ideological education class, and I'm not in a good mood."

"How can you make yourself feel bad when you educate others? It's not like you at all."

Xiao Yao sat down opposite Shu Qingfeng, said casually while eating, never thought that Shu Qingfeng's bad mood was related to himself, Shu Qingfeng smiled, and sighed: "Maybe I was too close to the truth, and accidentally fell into it." gone."

Xiao Yao is right, he is indeed not a person who will sulk himself because of other people's stupidity, but there are no absolutes in the world, if it is about Xiao Yao, it will be difficult for him to maintain a calm and leisurely attitude, because he cares too much about this person , he realized that even though the Xiao family's harm to Xiao Yao was a long-established fact, he still couldn't forgive it.

He always thought that his old man was a cold and old-fashioned guy. After seeing Xiao Jingren, he realized that his father was actually very good. Just like this, he felt Father Xiao's indifference more and more.

"Little Bird," Shu Qingfeng thought for a while, and said, "I'm very troubled about something, I think I should tell you the truth, but I'm afraid that if I say it, it will make you unhappy."

Xiao Yao was forking the salad fork, looked up at Shu Qingfeng, his expression became more and more serious, finally put down the fork, and asked very seriously: "Qingfeng, did you meet your former lover on the boat and plan to get back together with her, So come to a showdown with me?"

This idiot, where did you think!

Shu Qingfeng's first reaction after hearing this was to throw the knife and fork in his hand, but he quickly caught Xiao Yao's cunning after his innocent face, and he couldn't tell, the ink in this guy's belly was not At least, he sneered: "Captain Xiao, can you speak with a higher IQ?"

"But for me, this possibility is the most serious. Besides you, who else can make me unhappy?"

After Xiao Yao finished speaking, he picked up the fork to eat the salad again, but he succeeded in pleasing Shu Qingfeng by telling the truth, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, then you don't have to worry, your cooperation on the bed is so high, I How can I not want you?"

The juice that Xiao Yao had just drank into his mouth successfully sprayed out, but luckily it didn't splash on his uniform. Shu Qingfeng pulled back a round and watched him wipe it off with a smile. Suddenly he felt that he was asking for trouble. Everyone just They care about the people they think are important, and it has nothing to do with them how the irrelevant people are doing.

The New Year's Eve banquet that night was held in the main hall of the cruise ship. There were many people attending the banquet, so Shu Qingfeng didn't join in the fun. When Xiao Yao delivered a New Year speech in Chinese and English on the stage, he stood outside the crowd and helped Xiao Yao take pictures. Wearing that beautiful captain's uniform, I feel a little bit distracted again.

"Brother is so handsome!"

There was a sound of admiration from the side, Xiao Su squeezed into his side at some point, took the camera desperately to take pictures, Shu Qingfeng turned his head, and found that the young man was actually wearing a red Tang suit for the occasion, the Tang suit was well cut, and it matched him very well. But it also looks... stupid.

"Are you here too?" He asked with a suppressed smile.

"Yeah, my parents are over there,"

Xiao Fun pointed to the opposite seat, it was not convenient to take pictures there, so he ran over. After chatting in the morning, his hostility towards Shu Qingfeng has been reduced a lot, and it can be seen that although this man is annoyingly arrogant, he takes it very seriously. Big brother, compared to their so-called relatives, he is Xiao Yao's companion through thick and thin.

After Xiao Yao finished his speech on the stage, he announced the start of the banquet. The venue was filled with cheerful festive music. He stepped off the stage and was about to leave the venue. He happened to choose a path that passed by the seats of Xiao Jingren and his wife. , hurried over.

Shu Qingfeng followed behind, saw that Xiao Jingren also noticed Xiao Yao's approach, his hands trembled a little, and wanted to get the teacup, but accidentally knocked off the book on the table, Xiao Yao just walked to him, looked When he bent down to pick it up, it was a little inconvenient to move, so I hurriedly picked it up for him, seeing that it was a study of international law, I couldn't help being stunned.

Xiao Jingren didn't want to be found out, thanked him in a low voice, and wanted to bring the book over, but he didn't expect Xiao's mother to see her son's excitement, and suddenly stood up, her abrupt behavior caught Xiao Yao's attention, she hasn't changed much these years, After Xiao Yao saw her, she was obviously taken aback, and Xiao's mother realized her abruptness, but at this moment, she could no longer retreat.

After more than ten years of separation, facing each other at this moment, she suddenly found that everything has become strange. When she immigrated, she remembered that Xiao Yao was not as tall as Xiao Falcon, and she was thin with the simplicity and youthfulness of an adolescent boy. In front of her was an adult man with a height of 1.8 meters, with the majesty and demeanor of a captain. The outline of his face when he was young has long since disappeared, and he can never be found again.

Not knowing what to say, she was in a daze for a moment before saying, "Your speech just now was wonderful...Happy New Year."

Xiao Yao saw Xiao Falcon running over in a hurry, followed by Shu Qingfeng, facing Shu Qingfeng's slightly serious gaze, he frowned slightly, if before that, he was only doubtful, then now he is very sure that he is in his own Who is the couple in front of him? Where in life do we not meet again, but on New Year's Eve, under such circumstances, he suddenly reunited, nothing but surprise was left for him.

He turned his eyes to Xiao Jingren, feeling a little more surprised. If he hadn't thought about it beforehand, he would never have connected this fifty-year-old man with the father in his memory. The man's condition didn't look very good, Although he maintained his previous seriousness and calmness, he couldn't hide his old age. It seems that many years have passed and many things have changed. The memory of being beaten and expelled from the house back then has become so faint that he can't remember it.

"Bird?"

It was Shu Qingfeng's worried cry, Xiao Yao turned back from the brief daze, returned the book to the man in front of him, and said something softly.

"Happy New Year."

The man nodded slightly to him, forced a smile on his face as a reply, Xiao Yao didn't want to disturb them anymore, took his leave and walked away, there were footsteps behind him, familiar footsteps, even if he didn't turn his head, he knew who it was.

"So that's what you were talking about." Xiao Yao didn't look back, walked directly to the deck, leaned against the ship's side and looked at the sea ahead, and said softly.

Shu Qingfeng walked to his side and said, "Sorry, I should have told you."

Originally, he planned to talk about it in the morning, but later he changed his mind during the flirting and decided to let things take their course. He didn't expect them to meet so soon.

"It's none of your business, why do you apologize?" Xiao Yao turned to look at Shu Qingfeng, his calm expression proved that he was not unhappy because of his sudden encounter with Xiao Jingren, "I'm just surprised, he doesn't look very good. "

At least the Xiao Jingren he knew never had an air of decadence, that man has always been so confident and flamboyant, no less than Shu Qingfeng, the only difference between them is that Shu Qingfeng is more tactful in handling things.

"I heard that he was in a car accident before and he had severe rheumatism, so he came back to settle down. They probably wanted to see you before boarding the boat, but they were afraid that you would hold grudges and dare not approach." Shu Qingfeng explained objectively, he did not I don't like Xiao Jingren, but I won't deny his behavior because of this.

Xiao Yao didn't speak, and still looked at the sea. Shu Qingfeng saw his hand on the side of the boat clenched slightly, as if he was immersed in the memories of the past, so he didn't disturb him, turned his head, and watched the sea with him.

After a long time, Xiao Yao said: "Actually, I didn't hate him very much. I was relieved when I was kicked out by him."

It is a kind of luck for him not to be constrained by his father’s aura all the time, to do what he wants to do. At first, he only cared about earning money and working hard, and had no time to resent. After his life got on the right track, The concept of holding grudges has faded away.

"Why did you refuse to immigrate together?"

Shu Qingfeng asked this question not out of curiosity, but to find a way for Xiao Yao to vent. He knew that the appearance of Xiao Yao's family had uncovered the scars that Xiao Yao had buried deep in his heart for many years. pour out the sadness, helplessness and even despair.

He hoped that he would be Xiao Yao's confidant.

"Because I promised someone else that I would go to the shipping school with him and work on a ship together."

"The person who can change your dreams, is he your first love?"

The sea breeze blew past, carrying a sour breath, Xiao Yao burst into laughter: "Are you jealous?"

"I'm stating the facts, which is the basis of being a lawyer, Captain."

Forget it, he smelled the smell of vinegar all over the floor, Xiao Yao finished complaining, and said: "It's just a crush, I know he's straight, I won't say it, it will increase his troubles, but sometimes I feel irritable, I would write scribbles in my diary, which happened to be seen by my family.”

When he saw that his son not only refused to follow the road he paved, but also refused to immigrate, and the reason was that he liked men, Xiao Jingren was furious, punched and kicked him, and used all kinds of vicious language. Because of this, he was driven out, and the relationship between father and son was severed. Xiao's father's decision was absolute in the family, and Xiao's mother couldn't help her son, so she could only ask his father to take care of him before immigrating.

So quickly severed the relationship between father and son, completed the immigration procedures, and no one notified him when the family left, as if he was a virus, and he would be infected if he had more contact with him. He remembered that his grandfather said angrily when he took him home A word from my father - your parents are dead, from now on, I am your only family member.

Since they are ashamed of him and don't want to see him again, then he will go far away, not to inquire about their news, not to cause trouble to them, and after a long time, he will gradually forget that he has his The way to go, they also have their own, independent of each other.

Thinking of the past, Xiao Yao smiled wryly: "I really didn't expect that they would take the initiative to come to see me."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"do not know."

Xiao Yao's personality has always been big and flexible. After chatting with Shu Qingfeng for a while, his mood has calmed down, and he said: "When people are traveling, they always have to face various unpredictable situations. If you think too much, you are asking for trouble. , so let it be.”

The reunion did not bring any troubles to Xiao Yao and Shu Qingfeng's journey. At most, Xiao Xuan often came to look for them. Xiao Yao had very little relationship with his parents, but he still loved his only younger brother very much. After the cruise ship arrived in Hong Kong, he asked for Xiao Yao's MSN, saying to contact them online, and Xiao Yao simply wrote him his home address.

The journey was over, the passengers disembarked one after another, Xiao Jingren's legs were inconvenient, the couple was taken care of by the boatman, and they were at the end. When disembarking, Xiao Xuan looked back frequently, looking forward to the appearance of the elder brother, but it was a pity that it was Shu Qingfeng who hurried over, Instead of Xiao Harrier.

"He's busy right now, so he can't come to see you off." Seeing the disappointment on Xiao Xun's face, Shu Qingfeng handed him the gift bag in his hand, explaining: "He bought it for you specially, let me tell Xiao Xun Sir, take care of yourself, everything is going well."

Xiao's mother's eyes are red, she hasn't contacted her son these years, partly because she is afraid of Xiao's father, and because she has no face to see him. So now she can communicate like this, she is very satisfied.

"Thank you," she said, choked up, "and please tell him that everything is fine."

Xiao Jingren was still as serious as usual, but after hearing Shu Qingfeng's message, his expression softened, and he stretched out his hand to Shu Qingfeng, saying, "Thank you."

Shu Qingfeng shook hands with him, "You are welcome to continue to listen in from now on. There is something I don't understand, and I hope to ask seniors for advice."

The tone between challenge and provocation easily aroused the man's desire to fight, saying: "I will, I will wait and see your results, but lawyers work very hard, don't stretch yourself too tightly, some things are Money can't buy it."

"I understand," Shu Qingfeng said with a smile, "the word family is so heavy, I think I have a deep understanding."

The Xiao family got off the boat, Shu Qingfeng leaned on the side of the ship, watched them go away, and then returned to the captain's cabin. The time after arriving at the port is the busiest time for the crew, and only the nominal staff like Shu Qingfeng are the ones who can relax. He was bored watching TV and eating snacks in the room. After waiting for a long time, Xiao Yao came back.

"The handover is over?"

"En." After Xiao Yao returned to the room, he began to tidy up the clothes he had brought with him for the past few days, and asked Shu Qingfeng, "What did they say?"

"I'm a little disappointed that you didn't go to send them off, let me tell you that everything is safe..." Shu Qingfeng said casually, chewing on the plums he had just put into his mouth.

Xiao Yao nodded, he didn't avoid it on purpose, it's just that his job didn't allow him to leave the cabin at that time, in fact, we are all in the same city, there will be opportunities to communicate in the future, why rush it for a while.

After he finished packing his things, he saw that Shu Qingfeng was still leaning on the sofa, eating Huamei leisurely.
