One big and one small are practicing love

Because Zuo Kunmin drank some alcohol, he could not drive. After the meal, Bian Chang drove Zuo Kunmin and the children back to her apartment.

On New Year's Eve, Zuo Kunmin wanted to be with Bian Chang and the children, but didn't want to go back to the hotel alone.

After returning to Bian Chang's apartment, Zuo Yan and Zuo Xu felt sleepy and went back to the bedroom to take a lunch break. Zuo Kunmin and Bian Chang were talking quietly in the living room.

"I have a few bottles of red wine that my mother sent me before she died. Just wait a moment and I'll get the wine and glasses." After that, Bian Chang got up and went to the kitchen.

Zuo Kunmin took off his suit jacket, pulled off his tie, unbuttoned the two buttons on the collar of his shirt, unbuttoned his cuffs, and rolled them up. Then he took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and leaned back lazily on the sofa.

"Open the wine for me." Bian Chang said, handing the red wine and a fruit knife to Zuo Kunmin.

Zuo Kunmin opened his eyes, frowned and said, "Where is the wine opener?"

"I can't find it. I usually don't drink expired drinks like this. I like to drink Coke."

Zuo Kunmin sighed, took the wine bottle and the knife, pierced the cork with the knife, picked it hard, and with a 'bang' sound, the cork opened and said: "Go get the decanter and the wine glass."

"I should still have the wine glass, and the decanter is in the studio. I had it last year or the year before. I painted it as a still life, and it was full of paint and dust. I was too lazy to wash it, so just drink it." After that, Bian Chang took the fruit knife. , and left as if nothing had happened.

While waiting, Zuo Kunmin looked around carefully. Although Bian Chang had been in the UK for six years, this was the first time Zuo Kunmin came to her apartment. It was not clear where she had lived before and what kind of environment she was in.

There are scattered Chinese paintings hanging on the wall, including a complete and exquisite meticulous painting of a maid, a small piece of rice paper with a tube of Chinese toothpaste, and copies of paintings by famous Northern Song Dynasty artists.

Paint can be seen everywhere, a few empty bottles are piled randomly in the corner, and the curtains, sofas, and tablecloths are all stained with paint. Palettes, half-eaten loaves of bread, unwashed coffee cups, etc., were placed randomly in a mess.

While watching, Bian Chang came over holding two high wine glasses filled with water drops. Zuo Kunmin looked back and said softly: "Changchang, how are you doing in the UK?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's good or not. For me, it's enough to be able to paint, see exhibitions, and hold exhibitions." As he said that, Bian Chang poured two glasses of red wine, handed one to Zuo Kunmin, held one to himself, and sat down.

Zuo Kunmin took the wine glass and said leisurely: "What do you want to say?"

"Did you break up with Xiaoxiao because of this Miss Chen tonight?" Bian Chang said, leaning cross-legged on the sofa.

"Not at all."

"I said, I don't care about your emotions, and I don't want to interfere, but if it affects Yanyan and Xiaoxu, I have to take care of it." After saying that, Bian Chang narrowed his eyes and said firmly: "Today In the evening, Yanyan and Xiaoxu told me that they didn't like Aunt Chen and wanted Xiaoxiao to be their mother."

Zuo Kunmin was drinking with his neck raised. He was stunned when he heard this. He slowly put down his wine glass and said unhurriedly: "I never thought about being with Chen Qingyan. I had some conflicts with Xiaoxiao some time ago. We need time and space to calm down." .If I go back to Beijing, I will go to Xiaoxiao."

"What contradiction?"

Zuo Kunmin pursed his lips, looked around alertly, made sure no one was around, and whispered: "Xiao Xiao knows, I cheated on you during my marriage to your sister-in-law."

"Huh!" Bian Chang snorted coldly, raised his head and drank two large sips of red wine, and said: "Although my sister-in-law didn't say anything, I guessed it. At that time, my sister-in-law left you without saying a word. She was sick and had a baby. I didn’t even tell you anything and went to teach alone. You must have made an unforgivable mistake. I didn’t expect it to be so."

Zuo Kunmin said nothing, lowered his head and swayed the wine glass, watching the red liquid swaying up and down.

"Brother, although you did something wrong, I understand you." Bian Chang said softly and calmly.

Zuo Kunmin looked up at Bian Chang, frowned and said, "What do you understand about me?"

"I understand why you cheated." Bian Chang said, raising his head slightly, his eyes drifting into the distance, and said calmly.

"I have an artist friend who is handsome and talented, and he is also humorous and sincere. Many young literary and artistic women admire him and pursue him. I have seen many women confess their love to him, send him flowers, and take the initiative to throw themselves into his arms, one after another. In one wave, even though they all knew he had a girlfriend. He rejected her at first, but in the seventh year, he still cheated on her and broke up before getting married."

"Are there many such things in your art circle? Don't mess around."

"You in the business circle are more exaggerated. Take care of yourselves and leave me alone." Bian Chang chuckled and said: "I have been in love two or three times, but it was not interesting. We broke up. Like our mother, I love freedom and freedom more. Art. To be honest, brother, it’s so rare for you to meet your sister-in-law first and then have two true loves, Xiaoxiao.”

Suddenly, a strong wind blew outside the window, raindrops hit the glass intensively, and there was a rapid "crackling" sound. The two of them couldn't help but look out the window, and they were silent, drinking quietly and listening to the rain.
