go the same way

"No, I'm fine. I got water into my eyes when I was taking a bath, and I've been crying," Li Pei came to his senses, touched Li Cong's head, and said slowly, "I'll be fine if I blink more." Alright, thank you, Xiao Cong."

Li Cong was very polite, his eyes crooked with a smile: "You're welcome, uncle."

Seeing that Li Pei was really fine, the brother and sister-in-law withdrew their worried eyes, and continued to discuss the question of what birthday gift to give to their good friend.

Like an ordinary couple who have been married for many years and never separated.

"I don't lack anything now. I have given away so many things for so many years. I really have no idea."

Ji Changqing knew that Li Yan would say this: "You don't need to give him such weird things. I saw a lot of scratches on his wallet last time we met, so I bought a new one on my own and brought it to him later. I only thought about this before leaving, are you planning to pick up a fruit basket along the way?"

Li Yan nodded, as if his thoughts had been guessed.

The categories are rich and practical. It is not a problem to send a basket of strawberries this year and a basket of cherries next year. It is not a problem to send them to the age of 40 without repetition.

He is so clever.

Ji Changqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, turned his head and said to Li Cong: "You can't follow your father's lead, take the gift for Uncle Zhu first, let's leave after a while, don't let the birthday star wait for a long time."

Not long after, Li Pei dried his hair and followed Li Yan Ji Changqing in casual casual attire. The four of them finally set off before the sky darkened.

Li Yan drove, Ji Changqing sat in the co-pilot, expressed his liking for the gentle piano music played in the car stereo, couldn't help reaching out his hand, and turned up the very small volume a little.

She turned her head from the front seat and asked Li Pei's opinion: "Xiao Pei, didn't I disturb you?"

"No, it sounds good."

I was too hasty at home just now, Li Pei hadn't had time to take a closer look at Ji Changqing, this time as a family member.

She is very beautiful, with an oval face, a pair of sparkling almond eyes, long hair shawl, an approachable temperament, and a gentle voice.

In his previous life, Li Pei called his past life his previous life.Ji Changqing is Li Yan's piano teacher. The two sparked love in the heart-to-heart contact, and accidentally gave birth to Li Cong. Out of consideration for his own situation, the eldest brother dared not expose his wife and children to the public eye, so he had to do something. A heartbroken man who abandoned his wife and son.Ji Changqing endured many hardships and suffered from a serious illness when Li Cong was nine years old. He died regretfully and became a crabapple flower that withered forever in the heart of his elder brother, a withered bamboo.

Li Pei also recognized the wedding ring on Ji Changqing's left hand.

In that world, it was discovered by Li Pei as the eldest brother's relic.

In the past, there was only one such ring, and it was given to Ji Changqing by Li Yan, and was returned after his wife passed away.Li Yan, who has lost his beloved forever, cannot be there to mourn in person, so he can only wear the ring of his late wife on his little finger every night, with the diamond ring facing his palm, sinking alone in the tide of longing.

In the early morning, he reluctantly took it off, and became that person's glamorous and ruthless Li Yan again.

It turns out that in this world, they can wear the rings in a fair manner.

Li Pei thought, this woman may have put on a white and gorgeous wedding dress, and walked into the sacred church like a secret place, "I" must have been there too, seeing their backs together, they became the most ordinary and most enviable couple . "He" offered his blessings amid flowers and applause, and walked together with them to this day.

Whether it is a dream or reality, he likes this world.

Years of kindness brought the people he loved and good people together.

The car parked in the courtyard of a Chinese restaurant. They were obviously regular customers here, and they entered the box directly without the guidance of the waiter.Two men of similar age had arrived first.

When the four of them came, Zhu Fengjin was standing with his arms resting on the back of the chair, chatting casually with Li Yuan.The coat was hung on a floor hanger beside him, and he was wearing a high-necked cashmere sweater inside, and the watch was loosely worn outside the sweater. He was thin and gentle.

Someone came in and the conversation stopped. Zhu Fengjin walked over eagerly and hugged Li Yan: "Long time no see, big brother."

This hug is like a greeting between old friends, short but sincere.

"Sister-in-law, Xiaopei," Zhu Fengjin bowed his head after greeting each other, "I haven't seen Xiaocong for almost a year, he's growing so fast, and he's getting more and more handsome."

Li never dared to look directly into Zhu Fengjin's eyes, and lowered his head in embarrassment. Standing beside him, Li Pei noticed that the child's ears were slightly red.

He put the hands hidden behind his back to the front, and it turned out that he was holding the gift he had carefully wrapped.Li Cong held it in his hands and whispered, "Happy birthday, uncle."

It seemed that he had rehearsed it many times in his heart, but he was still a little shy when he said it.

But Zhu Fengjin heard it. He took Li Cong's gift, stroked the back of the boy's head, and said thank you very seriously.

"Don't just stand, come and sit." Li Yuan saw that the few people he hadn't seen for a long time were too polite, so he couldn't help waving to them and beckoning them to sit down.

Li Cong sat on Zhu Fengjin's left, where Li Yan was usually seated.

Zhu Fengjin has a bad relationship with his family, and loves to run to Li's house. They and Li Yuan were in the iron triangle when they were young, and they have known each other for more than [-] years. It is no surprise that they will be lifelong friends.Li Yan got married very early. When Zhu Fengjin attended the wedding, he was still a young boy in junior high school. Since then, he has been studying in the United States, and returned to live in China during the winter and summer vacations. After graduation, he is still working hard in the United States. He has already achieved a successful career.

Although I have settled overseas, I still go back to China to celebrate my birthday with my eldest brother and friends every year, and the time I stay is not too long.Even so, Li Pei could still tell that Li Cong missed this uncle whom he didn't see several times a year.

It's just that in the past, Zhu Fengjin's brotherhood was not only brotherly, but also had some unspeakable admiration. Li Pei also did a lot of unnecessary things to Zhu Fengjin because of misunderstanding.

In his previous life, he was born into a chaotic family who ran a large number of casinos and sensual venues. His father was deceived by money and took risks. He sold drugs and smuggled arms in the Golden Triangle. Years later, he died in depression.His eldest brother was ordered to take the lead in the face of danger, and with the great help of Li Yuan's father, he went back to the right path.

So, if you have a home, you can't go back, and if you have a son, you can't recognize it.His eldest brother had walked a long, hard way, protecting everyone well, while he was scarred.At that time, it was Zhu Fengjin who was born and died with him, and it was also Zhu Fengjin who washed the dirty Li family clean together.The man who quietly read books and played the piano chopped off his little finger with his own hands in order to save Li Yan who accidentally fell into the hands of villains.

Later, Li Yan found out that his uncle was using his company to launder money and collected evidence of the other party's dealings with drug lords. Two people were attacked on the way, one was killed and the other was injured. Li Cong was entrusted to Zhu Fengjin just before Li Yan died.

But now, Li Pei observed him calmly and saw his slender and intact left hand.

Thinking about coming here, none of them was forced to give up what they cherished.

He thought, if such a chaotic background didn't exist here, he wouldn't have met that person either.

The one who took everything from him.

Li Pei's breath was suffocated, the hands that filled the tea trembled slightly, and the clear tea soup overflowed from the cup, soaking the tablecloth underneath.

At this time, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and the last guest came late: "I'm really sorry, I discussed some things with Dr. Nie, it's a little late, I can't let him go back alone, so I have a cheeky belt." Come here to enjoy Xiao Zhu's glory. He couldn't come here empty-handed, and got off the bus halfway to buy things for Xiao Zhu, and counting the time, it should be here within 2 minutes."
