Xue Li's new life was broken by Pan Mo and Zai Zi before it started.

He was woken up by a knock on the door. He checked the time on his phone. He was lying on the bed and didn't want to move at all.He didn't sleep until five o'clock in the morning, and now it's only past eight o'clock in the morning, so he really doesn't want to move.

The guy who knocked on the door was very persistent, but Xue Li's silence didn't make him give up.Just when Xue Li was so irritable that he wanted to swear, he heard the familiar and loud voice from the door: "Little Xue——"

Xue Li lifted the quilt and jumped up, rushed to the door and opened it: "Hey, Chen Da..."

Before the word "Master" was uttered, Xue Li saw Uncle Chen at the door, Pan Mo beside Uncle Chen, and the boy squatting at Pan Mo's feet.

Uncle Chen looked at Xue Li's dark circles, and asked with concern: "Xiao Xue, are you alright?"

Xue Li came back to his senses and wiped his face: "It's okay, I stayed up late yesterday."

Uncle Chen muttered, "It's not good to stay up late," and pointed at Pan Mo: "This young man said he was your classmate, but you didn't come to open the door after knocking on the door for a long time, so I came out and took a look when I heard it. I was thinking about what you would do if you were alone at home." If it’s something, I helped him call you.”

Xue Li nodded. He didn't dare to look at Pan Mo. He lowered his head to look at the boy who was sitting obediently panting with his tongue out, and said to Uncle Chen, "Well, it's my classmate... Thank you."

Seeing that Xue Li really knew Pan Mo, Uncle Chen waved his hands and went home: "That's good, let's talk, I'm going back."

The door on the opposite side was closed, Xue Li looked at the cub and started to be in a daze, and the cub yelled at him.Pan Mo's feet moved, interrupting his wandering: "Aren't you going to let us in?"

Xue Li finally took a look at Pan Mo, then let go of the hand holding the door, and went to the bathroom to wash up - he needed to wash his face to wake up.

Pan Mo consciously brought his son in, closed the door, saw that there were no extra slippers in the shoe cabinet in Xue Li's hallway, and took his son directly into the living room.

The old apartment that Xue Li rented was on the same street as the apartment they shared when they were in school. It was the husband's house of a certain machinery factory.Most of the people living in this community are retired employees of the machinery factory, their children have their own other residences, and there are many elderly people in the community.

When Pan Mo first entered this community, he felt that it was very suitable for Xue Li. After all, this person seemed to be born to chat well with the elderly.

When Xue Li came out of the bathroom, he saw that Pan Mo had consciously sat on his sofa, and the cub was obediently lying at his feet, enjoying his touch.

After struggling for a while, Xue Li still walked over, sat on the single sofa next to him, and asked, "How did you find me here?"

After Pan Mo took his son abroad, Xue Li changed all his contact information.He didn't like to socialize at first, and he cut off contact with other classmates.After Pan Mo settled down abroad, he tried to contact Xue Li, but failed.But now he didn't say this, he just stopped the action of smoothing the cub, and looked at Xue Li: "I saw you bought apples yesterday, so I went to ask the aunt who sells apples."

Xue Li frowned. He seemed to have told the aunt at the fruit stand that he lived in this community, but how did Pan Mo know his specific door number?

Without waiting for Xue Li to ask, Pan Mo continued: "When I entered the community, I randomly found an aunt who does morning exercises, and asked for your specific door number."

Xue Limo, very good, it was his invincible "elderly fate" who helped Pan Mo, and he is indeed very popular with the elderly in this community.

Pan Mo was still talking: "It's been a long time since you knocked on the door and you didn't come to open it. The uncle at the opposite door came out to help me."

Xue Li didn't want to continue this topic: "Okay, I understand, what are you looking for me for?"

Pan Mo reached out and patted the cub's head: "The cub didn't forget you on purpose. It's just getting old and suffering from dementia. It needs time to get along with you before it can think of you."

Xue Li didn't expect that Pan Mo came to him because of this. He looked down at the cub lying on the ground. The lively and healthy golden retriever in his impression was already old.He opened his mouth and heard his somewhat hoarse voice: "Is the son ten years old this year?"

Pan Mo also looked at the cub: "11 years old."

Xue Li was silent. When he bought the pup from the dog dealer, he and Pan Mo took the pup to the pet hospital for an examination. At that time, he knew that the pup was about six or seven years old. After two years of getting along and two years of separation, the pup is now They are all old.

Pan Mo said again: "You bought it back then, but now it's running out of time, don't you want it to think of you?"

Xue Li looked at Pan Mo, who was still looking at the cub.

Xue Li looked at Pan Mo's side face in a daze for a while, then withdrew his gaze, rolled his throat a few times, walked over and squatted in front of the cub, and reached out to stroke the cub's head.Feeling Xue Li's approach and stroking, the cub didn't resist this time. It just sat up and looked up at Pan Mo. Its wet eyes reflected Xue Li's appearance. Its head was slightly tilted to the right, as if it was trying to think hard. Then, who is this somewhat familiar person.

Xue Li had a sore nose, and wrapped the cub into his arms, burying his whole face in the hair on the back of its neck.

Pan Mo sat there looking at the top of Xue Li's hair, resisting the urge to reach out and touch it.

The cub was old and sick, but it could be seen that Pan Mo took good care of him.Xue Li sorted out his emotions as soon as possible, and kissed the boy on the head: "Baby, can you go to the balcony to bask in the sun for a while?"

Xue Li remembered that the boy used to like lying on the balcony to bask in the sun. At that time, the living room of the house he and Pan Mo rented had a big balcony with clean floor-to-ceiling windows.The small house he lives in now only has a balcony in the bedroom.

After feeding the cub some water, Xue Li took it to the balcony of the bedroom, where the cub was basking in the sun, squinting his eyes and enjoying himself.

Pan Mo stood at the door of the bedroom, looking at Xue Li who was sitting on the floor on the small balcony and stroking his cub, his heart felt soft. This was the warmth he had lost for two years.

Pan Mo once again reflected on why he and Xue Li broke up in the first place. In the final analysis, it was probably because they were too young.Young and energetic, so no one is willing to give in to anyone, and no one wants to take into account the other person's feelings too much. They all feel that they are the one who is wronged, and they don't want to sharpen their own edges and corners.The small quarrels became much more quarreling, and when they developed into big quarrels, they each waved their hands.

After a while, the cub snored, Xue Li smiled, and looked sideways at Pan Mo at the door.Meeting his gentle eyes, Xue Li coughed uncomfortably, got up softly, walked to the door and said to him, "Come out and have a chat."

Afraid that the cub would wake up and be scared, Xue Li did not close the bedroom door.Sitting back on the sofa with Pan Mo, he got up and poured Pan Mo a glass of water.

Pan Mo looked at the glass of water that Xue Li put on the coffee table in front of him, and said thank you, but he didn't reach for it.

Xue Li didn't care, just asked: "So, what are you going to do?"

"My son and I still live in the original neighborhood." Speaking of this, Pan Mo paused, and continued, "It's still the original house."

Xue Li put his elbows on his knees, muttering in his heart, "He can still rent the previous house", and he could not help but clenched his clasped hands: "When did you come back?"

Pan Mo replied honestly, "Just a few days ago."

Xue Li said "Oh": "For the sake of the bastard?"

Pan Mo wanted to say "for you too", but looking at Xue Li's alienated appearance, he couldn't say it: "Well, two years of work experience abroad is enough, it's time to go back to China, so I found a new one in China. Work."

Xue Li was thinking at this time that the housing prices in that community had risen a lot in the past two years, and Pan Mo rented the two-bedroom apartment by himself. It seemed that he was doing well.But he doesn't plan to inquire into Pan Mo's life too much now, so he asked: "Then what is your plan? I go to see the cub every day?"

Now Pan Mo directly expressed his thoughts: "I hope you move there, I have to go to work, and you work at home, so you can take good care of the cub."

Xue Li looked at him and asked back, "How do you know I work from home?"

Pan Mo turned his head to look at the high-end computer in the bedroom, and said, "Isn't it your dream to be a game anchor at home? You won't give up the job you started when you were in college."

Xue Li didn't like the way Pan Mo thought he knew him very well, but he didn't seem to be able to refute his words, so he said angrily, "So I'm going to listen to you and move to your house to take care of the cub, right? "

Pan Mo didn't know why he suddenly got angry, he thought for a while and said, "I need you." He added in his heart, I need you too.

Xue Li snorted: "When you took the cub away, why didn't you think that it needs me?"

Pan Mo frowned: "It was you who said you didn't want the bastard, so I took it away."

——I fucking think that if the bastard is with you, I will have a chance to find you again!You fucking went abroad with your son!

Xue Li roared in his heart, but he didn't say these words out of his mouth. Of course, he couldn't suppress the anger on his face.

Looking at Xue Li's appearance, Pan Mo also became irritable: "I don't understand what you are angry about? You brought up the breakup, and you said no to the son. I have nothing to do to you. I don't think there is any relationship between us. The reunion should be like an enemy."

enemy?Xue Li opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.He thought of Li Li's words again, she, a bystander, was right, he and Pan Mo were not suitable at all.It's not that he doesn't know how serious Pan Mo's character is, but every time he quarrels with Pan Mo, he only vents his unhappiness, and he can't say sweet words that are suppressed in his heart.Then Pan Mo would seriously debate with him about his "illogicality" and his "unreasonable making troubles", and the smell of gunpowder between the two of them became more and more intense.

After a long silence, Pan Mo spoke first.

"sorry."

Pan Mo still couldn't restrain his temper. It seemed that once he faced Xue Li directly, his true nature would be fully exposed.All the self-rehearsed rhetoric and self-warned points before coming here are all forgotten during the actual conversation.

Xue Li was a little shocked because of Pan Mo's "I'm sorry". This is the first time Pan Mo has apologized to him after they have known each other for so long.Xue Li knew what he should say at this time, but now he just felt awkward and couldn't say a word.

"Woooo-"

The cub stood at the door of the bedroom at some point, and was now yelling at Pan Mo in a low voice.Xue Li wondered if the "quarrel" between him and Pan Mo just now frightened the boy, right?

Before Xue Li got up, Pan Mo walked towards the cub with the dog leash.Kneeling down to put the cub on a leash, Pan Mo led it outside, and stopped when he opened the door: "I start work tomorrow, and I can't come back at noon. You can visit the cub when you are free. Also, The mobile phone number in my country has not been changed."

Xue Li just sat there watching Pan Mo put a key on his shoe cabinet, watched Pan Mo walk out with the cub, watched the cub look at him at the door, watched Pan Mo close the door, isolating the His eyes on the cub.

The moment the door closed, Xue Li covered his eyes and fell back on the sofa, with a suppressed voice that sounded like a child: "Woo..."

Pan Mo, who was standing outside the door with his cub, vaguely heard the wailing inside the door, looked down at the cub who was looking up at him, feeling very uncomfortable, but it seemed that there was nothing he could do for the time being.It seemed that the relationship between him and Xue Li could not be eased by meeting once or twice.

The cub got up impatiently and dragged Pan Mo out, and then he took a step and left the door of Xue Li's house.
