safe in distress

Their separation did not happen overnight.

Qiao An never doubted whether Li Shuyang's feelings for him were deep enough. Mr. Li loved him very much, but he was too hurtful, which made Mr. Li choose to give up and leave.

In those days together, there were sweetness and happiness, but mixed with tiny contradictions, like countless dust, casting a shadow over all the tenderness.

Life is not an illusory sweet love, and no one will be a perfect lover forever.At that time, Qiao An couldn't understand such a simple truth. He felt that Li Shuyang should put him first in everything, and he should pamper himself without a bottom line. He can make trouble for no reason, and he can be pampered and willful, but Li Shuyang must always be tolerant and considerate. , Treat yourself wholeheartedly.

Why?

Mr. Li clearly needs to care and be considerate, and longs for the support of his lover when he is tired. Unfortunately, Qiao An didn't understand anything at that time.

It wasn't until Qiao An was running around for a living that he realized that it was really hard to work all day. After get off work, he just wanted to stay still, and he didn't even want to eat.But in the past, Li Shuyang not only couldn't take a good rest after work, but also had to wait on his temper. He drove to another urban area to buy what he wanted because of his words. good.

At that time, Qiao An would still get angry over some trivial things that were completely worthless. He gave his rationality and consideration to outsiders, and left Mr. Li with endless willfulness and nonsense.He sat on the sofa without sleeping when he was unhappy, so Li Shuyang had no choice but to accompany him and coax him, even if he had countless jobs the next day, he had to stay with him.Even so, Qiao An would still complain that Li Shuyang was not sincere and dozed off while sitting.

However, Mr. Li is really tired.

One night, Joan was so tired from working overtime that he slept through the stop on the bus. When the driver woke him up, even his wallet disappeared. It was raining again, so he could only walk back.

Hard work, stolen wallet, and drowned again, Qiao An was so angry that night that he couldn't sleep, lying on the creaking single bed, annoyed, if only Mr. Li was still by his side, Mr. Li would definitely not let him alone People slept standing.

He thought of Li Shuyang's grievances again, and the grievances slowly turned into regrets—it's hard work at work, why didn't he know how to understand Mr. Li's hard work in the past.

He used to think that when he was in a good mood, giving sweet words, giving expensive gifts, and giving the other party a lot of money was love.Because his world is like this, his parents are like this, the love for him is innumerable material wealth, living in an expensive house, driving an expensive car, eating expensive things, wearing expensive clothes clothing.Therefore, Qiao An thought that giving these things to Li Shuyang again meant that he loved him very much.

But how can money support all love.

Joan hugged Mr. Xiong, lay down and wept silently, as if his most important thing now was just this ugly, worthless cloth bear in his arms.

His so-called deep love is still too selfish and too shallow.

No wonder it gets thrown away.

Since the separation, Joan's mentality has changed again and again.

At first he resented Li Shuyang for being ruthless, then he regretted that he was too capricious, and then he felt guilty for hurting the other party, but now he is glad.

Fortunately, without him by his side, Mr. Li is still a very good gentleman, with a sparkle in his eyes.

"Boss, cut me some meat, I bought so much this time."

"Okay, okay." The aunt of the butcher shop had a good impression of this guy who used to work in the shop, and scolded him with a smile, "You brat, never once did auntie leave the best for you."

"Yeah, the boss treats me well." Joan joked with his aunt. He couldn't make it as a waiter in a restaurant, and happened to meet this butcher shop recruiting odd jobs. It can't be mentioned that Joan has worked hard here for almost three months until he found the next suitable job.

He asked his boss why he was willing to let him do this job.The boss said that her son was about the same age as him and went to work in other places.She just thought that if he helped Joan, who had nowhere to go, today, if her son was in trouble outside, maybe someone could help her son too.

When Qiao An asked her, she was quite surprised and thought for a long time before she gave such a reason.In the final analysis, in fact, there is not much reason to be kind, it is nothing more than peace of mind.

The boss is kind, and even paid Joan full wages when he left.This kindness of sending charcoal in the snow made Qiao An remember in his heart. Whether he was a small screw doing odd jobs or gradually promoted to a big cog, he never broke contact with his boss for so many years.

Everyone who releases kindness to himself is worth cherishing.

It's just unavoidable that it's a pity that it's too late for him to be grateful to his best Mr. Li.

"81 yuan. Auntie doesn't want your change. I'll charge you 80 yuan."

"Thank you boss!" Joan waved his hand while holding his pocket, "Business is booming!"

------

Qiao An made an exception today and bought full-price beef, ready to bring it home happily.

Just a few steps away, he was stopped by someone.

"Mr. Qiao!" The person who called him was in a hurry, as if he was afraid that he would go away, "What a coincidence, I met you here."

Qiao An had no choice but to stop out of politeness: "It's Teacher Sun, long time no see."

"I'm here to pick up Xiaoyuan, and their elementary school students are also making up lessons. Last time, he said he hadn't seen you for a long time." Teacher Sun seemed very excited, "I haven't thanked you for taking Xiaoyuan out to play last time, okay? Easy to meet, you have to give me a chance to thank you."

"No need, Mr. Sun, you're too polite, I'm Xiaoyuan's good friend." Qiao An raised the beef in his hand, "I'm going home to cook, I have guests coming today, I will stay soon, let's See you next time."

Qiao An acted as if she didn't understand the other party's ardent invitation, and decisively said goodbye.

Teacher Sun was a little too attentive to him.Joan couldn't accept such an overture, so he could only draw a clear line between them.

A few days ago, Qiao An unintentionally helped a poor child who was lost, and this poor child had a divorced and careless father, who was Teacher Sun.

The physical education teacher who was abandoned by his ex-wife has a wealthy family, and he can live comfortably just by collecting rent. Being a teacher is just to be closer to his son and to take care of him.

Perhaps it was because of the child's affection for Qiao An that even the father who brought the child had other thoughts.

Teacher Sun's pursuit is frank and direct, eager but not overstepped, and does not shrink back because of Qiao An's rejection, but this also makes Qiao An feel a little distressed.

It stands to reason that Mr. Sun, who is down-to-earth, reliable, kind, and generous, should be the top choice in the criteria for mate selection.

But Qiao An was still unwilling to accept this feeling. Although his world was empty after Li Shuyang left, he didn't want anyone else to come in.He is an unqualified lover, not suitable to be anyone's partner at all.

Teacher Sun deserves to truly cherish his lover, instead of sacrificing everything just for his son's consideration.

Speaking of which, Joan has had many suitors intermittently over the years.

He looked petite and delicate, he was a very delicate boy.

Good-looking people are indeed easy to get preferential treatment from others.

But Qiao An knew better than anyone that the preferential treatment brought by this appearance was not unconditional and unrestricted.

If he breaks someone else's heart, this kind of preferential treatment will leave him with that person.

For Qiao An today, he doesn't want to let others down, nor does he want to let himself down.

------

In the end, Joan returned home with a good mood.

He also bought flour and side dishes on the way, and went into the kitchen as soon as he got home. After a long time of tossing, he made a bowl of hot braised beef hand-rolled noodles.

Tomorrow is his birthday.

It turned out that when Mr. Li was still by his side, he would make such a bowl of noodles for him every birthday eve, wishing him peace and success.

After they separated, there was no warm blessing. Fortunately, Xiao Jiaojiao made a special trip to ask the chef in the restaurant when she was helping the cook in the restaurant, so she learned it by heart.

Before moving his chopsticks, Joan clasped his palms together with a smile and made a wish according to the usual practice.

——[I hope he is healthy. 】

[I hope he is safe. 】

[Hope to see him. 】

By the way, his wish has come true, and he met Mr. Li, so let's change his third wish...

Joan thought for a while and murmured silently in her heart.

[I hope that the person he loves can also love him sincerely. 】

Qiao An was happy after making her wish, happily posted a Moments, put down her phone and ate a big mouthful.

------

【Happy birthday to myself. [Scattering Flowers]]

------

Li Shuyang's hand holding the phone paused, he clicked a like quietly and hesitated to cancel it.

"Wishes come true, little heartbreaker."

Li Shuyang murmured, put down his phone, and took out the beef noodles from the pot.

Hope everything goes well for him.
