middle of the road

Zhao Shuangqing came to S city to participate in the exhibition, and ended the next afternoon, and stopped by to see Chiyu.

When she entered the door, she found that his pajamas and trousers were rolled up, and there was a layer of gauze under his knees, with an uneven wound on the edge. She frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong with the leg? How did you get such a big wound?"

"It fell." Chi Yu casually found an excuse.

"Where did you fall?" Zhao Shuangqing was dubious seeing his perfunctory attitude.

"Garage." Chi Yu didn't want to get entangled in this problem, bent down and picked up the kid who was still outside the door and kept calling his brother excitedly.

Because of his actions, the child let out a strange cry, wrapped his neck tightly with a pair of small fat hands, and kissed him resoundingly on the face.

A few years ago, Zhao Shuangqing was stimulated by some kind of sexual impulse. She married a senior executive in the company and gave birth to a son. He just turned five years old this year. , Chi Yu bought this and that for him and responded to his requests, which did not hurt him less.

He has always liked children.

The only regret is probably that he was not very willing to go back in the past few years, and he and Zhao Shuangqing didn't see each other many times in a year.

"You put him down first." Seeing him like this, Zhao Shuangqing quickly reached out to pick him up, "He's sinking now, be careful not to press you."

Chi Yu smiled helplessly, and sat on the sofa with the child in her arms, "I'm not disabled, didn't I come back and open the door for you?"

"Yo, don't fall if you're so capable." Zhao Shuangqing glared at him as she said, "Are you still going to work these days?"

Chi Yu took out a few boxes of snacks from the drawer of the cabinet next to him, opened them and said "um".

Guessing that he would not rest at home with such a slight injury, Zhao Shuangqing didn't say anything, and asked him if he had eaten. Chi Yu said that he had eaten. This weekend, it was rare that he didn't have to go on a business trip. The housekeeper aunt came over early in the morning, and had lunch and dinner together Done.

Zhao Shuangqing didn't bother him, went to make two cups of tea by herself, sat down opposite him, looked at it and said, "Why do I think you've lost weight again?"

"Is there?" Chi Yu looked up.

"Don't you look in the mirror?" Zhao Shuangqing was angry and distressed seeing his absent-minded look, "Look at what you've become."

In the mirror, Chi Yu would take a picture of his face every morning after washing, but he really didn't notice if he was thin or not. However, their company just organized a physical examination two days ago, and when the report assistant brought it over, he took a look at it. He didn't care at the time, but thinking about it now , The weight seems to be lighter than before.

"It's just too tired." He leaned back on the sofa with his legs curled up, "It's enough to wait for two days."

"Don't hold back if you can't take it anymore. How many times have I told you that your body is your own, and it's useless if you don't care about others." Zhao Shuangqing looked at him after finishing her speech. Thinking about it, she probably felt helpless and couldn't help it. Sighing, "Since there is no one around, and I don't plan to look for it now, then take care of yourself and say that you have more truths than me. Am I wrong? You have to live well for so many years, I will say that about you ?”

Zhao Shuangqing didn't know about Cheng Yang's affairs, and only thought that he was in conflict with marriage due to the influence of Chi Haidong in the past few years, so he devoted all his attention to work, and until now he hadn't even talked about love seriously.

She herself thought about it before, she didn't want to be restrained and only wanted to be at ease, and it was only when she met the right person that she would have the idea of ​​​​settling down. Chi Yu is still young now, and the time has not yet come, if not Seeing that he has not been doing well in the past few years, Zhao Shuangqing will not talk about him so many times. She is now his only elder, so naturally she can't see him living in such a muddle.

Chi Yu stroked the child's soft hair, but said nothing, he didn't plan to look for it now, he didn't plan to look for it again.

Because apart from Cheng Yang, among all the people he has met or not met, no one can become the person in his heart again.

Since the day Cheng Yang left nine years ago, the seat on the left that he wants to spend the rest of his life with has always been reserved for him, and no one else can choose.

Zhao Shuangqing sat for a while and saw that he still didn't respond, so she didn't continue. Chi Yu had something on her mind, and she didn't see it. Looking at him, there will be an illusion that he is actually suffering through every minute and every second.

It's just that no matter how hard you ask, you can't get any results, so Zhao Shuangqing had to change the subject, "Has Chi Haidong been looking for you recently?"

Chi Yu's uninjured leg was bent and stepped on the sofa, looking out of the French window, when he heard this, he said expressionlessly, "I didn't see it."

Zhao Shuangqing sneered, "He is persistent."

He is quite persistent, from the time he said he wanted to sever the relationship until now, no matter how sneering Chi Yu was to avoid seeing him, he never gave up.

Chi Haidong has been looking for him for many years, and he still has this attitude for many years. It's just ironic to think about it. Chi Haidong lied to him and killed his mother and his sister, so he harbored resentment and refused to forgive, but what about himself? He also lied to Cheng Yang and caused him to drop out of school, causing him to wander and suffer outside, but he had the face to repeatedly harass him and ask for his forgiveness. Looking at his heart, maybe Cheng Yang was right not to forgive him.

"Did I tell you something?" Zhao Shuangqing suddenly smiled gloatingly, "That woman ran away with someone else."

Since Chi Yu left there, he hadn't paid attention to Chi Haidong, let alone that woman, he couldn't put them to death, the best way was to ignore them, but now that Zhao Shuangqing mentioned it, he turned Turning his head, he raised his eyebrows as if suddenly interested.

"But it's true. If I want to be like her at this age and still wear the hat of a mistress without a name or a score, I want to run away." Zhao Shuangqing said.

"Didn't Chi Haidong plan to right her?" With the shamelessness of the two of them, it's not far from crossing the bottom line of morality.

"Do you think he's really so calculating?" Zhao Shuangqing snorted disdainfully, "It's also that woman who is stupid, not to mention how much money she didn't get, but once forced into the palace, Chi Haidong not only didn't stand by her, but became angry and turned against her." She ignored it, she couldn't bear this grievance, after all, she was only in her twenties when she was with Chi Haidong, she was deceived by sweet words, and she really thought that a man abandoned his wife for him, and she would not have married."

"In the end, I found out that the bamboo basket fetching water was all for naught, but that bitch still has the charm of a young lady, so I guess she wants to make some money while she still has some capital." Zhao Shuangqing crossed her legs and took a sip of tea slowly, "Just Let's see how far she can run, if she is still within reach of my hand, she will be lucky if she has a good day or something."

Zhao Shuangqing's husband used to have some background in his family. After leaving the company to work alone, he has done a lot in the past few years. He has some influence in the local area. With her determination to hate that scumbag and Xiao San after knowing the truth, and not like Like Chi Yu, there is still the last layer of scruples about blood relationship, so he naturally exhausted all means to do these things.

Chi Haidong later sold the company. Zhao Shuangqing told him what he was doing in the past few years. He didn't take it to heart. On the one hand, it is impossible for him to have anything to do with him.

Chi Yu was silent for a while after she finished speaking, thinking of something, he asked casually, "Where's that little girl?".

"I didn't take it away, I followed Chi Haidong, and I'm in junior high school now." Zhao Shuangqing said, "Don't worry, although the wild species is a wild species, I can still tell the difference between right and wrong. She wants to grow up peacefully. People will touch her, and if she imitates her mother in the future, it will be Chi Haidong's retribution."

Chi Yu knew what Zhao Shuangqing did, but he didn't participate in it. He never confronted them positively or had any conflicts.

It's not that he forgot, or that he was cowardly, but that the only time he resisted and retaliated was when he used Cheng Yang.

The only difference in thinking cost him nine years.

Maybe more than that.

So he didn't want to, Chi Haidong's evil deeds were the first, and his current fate was already his retribution. If he continued to pester him, it would be as he wanted to rebuild the relationship with him for so many years, and the blood relationship was not clean. , but other than that, Chi Yu didn't want to keep anything.

Because Zhao Shuangqing had to rush back, she left without eating dinner. Chi Yu would wake up after sleeping, and as soon as the hot meal was prepared, Fu Jin and Jiang Mingyang came over with vegetables.

Fu Jin looked at the table, turned his head and clicked his tongue at Jiang Mingyang, "You just thought he was here waiting to be fed, look, the food is worse than anyone else."

Chi Yu laughed, it's not been a day or two since he invited his aunt, how can he not even have a meal, and more takeaways can also have this effect.

Jiang Mingyang didn't say anything, and took all the dishes to the kitchen. There were quite a lot of varieties in front of Chi Yu, but the amount was definitely not enough for the three of them to eat, so he had to add a few more.

Chi Yu sat for the whole afternoon, and he would stand by the kitchen door. Jiang Mingyang mentioned that he wanted to learn to cook from him. It was a rare opportunity today, and he didn't need to do it himself.

Fu Jin casually took two pieces of chocolate from the open snack bag, peeled them off and stuffed them in his mouth, walked over to stand beside Chi Yu, looked at his legs with his toes slightly on the ground, feeling sympathetic and inexplicably gloating , "Your injury was really a bump, didn't Cheng Yang cut it with a knife?"

Chi Yu was a little speechless, knowing that Fu Jin wanted to piss him off again, "My car has already been sent to the repair shop, so I can't let him even cut the car."

"Then who knows." Fu Jin prolonged his tone deliberately, "I really wanted to chop you with a 40-meter machete."

Chi Yu: "..."

Fu Jin smiled, and handed him the remaining piece of chocolate, but Chi Yu didn't pick it up, so Fu Jin withdrew his hand and glanced inside at Jiang Mingyang.

After a while, he poked Chi Yu with his arm, "Hey where is he now? If you drive there, it shouldn't be far from here."

Chi Yu has been with the two of them for so many years, and he knows how volatile and hypocritical he and Jiang Mingyang are. Since Fu Jin dared to provoke him first in front of Jiang Mingyang, he naturally didn't mind setting fire to him. The posture, sublimated the main contradiction between the two of them.

He raised his chin slightly, his eyes teasing, "Why don't you ask him? How can he not know an address."

Fu Jin was uncharacteristically unmoved, and smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, "You don't understand, he knows his, and he doesn't like Cheng Yang."

Chi Yu looked at him.

Fu Jin: "You're different, just for someone as precious as you, what's more interesting than you telling me yourself."

Chi Yu: "..."

"Don't tell me." Fu Jin urged impatiently, "Tell me that I will go there with you next time, maybe I can block the knife for you."

The atmosphere has an indescribable subtlety.

Chi Yu turned his gaze to Jiang Mingyang. Although the sound was loud in the kitchen, it was impossible not to hear them standing so close.

He was a little surprised, Jiang Mingyang stared at the concentrated expression in his hands and the naturalness of the two when they entered the door just now, it didn't seem like Fu Jin was deliberately angry at him after the quarrel.

He had a bad premonition.

Fu Jin laughed suddenly at this time, "Forget it, I won't tease you anymore, look at how stingy you are." He sighed pretendingly, and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be so sentimental, I'm so jealous. You just ate it before, don’t think about it in the future, it hurts my feelings.”

Chi Yu didn't quite understand these words, but when he saw the smile on Jiang Mingyang's mouth that was gradually spreading to the corners of his eyes, he understood something.

Then his eyes went dark, and suddenly he felt thunderbolts, this is...someone handed in the paper in front of him.
