Gentle evening breeze

Bai Zhinan saw that the two of them went back home during the Chinese New Year, but they came back with bruises. He felt a little strange. He asked Yu Dongfeng: "What's wrong with your face?"

Yu Dongfeng scratched his head in embarrassment, Xu Jie said for him: "I followed him home during the Chinese New Year."

With just this one sentence, Bai Zhinan seemed to nod his head knowingly, and didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Jie found that Bai Zhinan was the only one in the family, and asked curiously, "Has Zheng Chong not come back yet?"

Bai Zhinan replied: "He's still at home with his parents. He probably won't come back, and he'll go back to school and work directly after the winter vacation is over."

When it was time for dinner, Bai Zhinan said that the two of them had just come back, so don't worry about it, just go downstairs and find a restaurant to eat.Xu Jie thought about it too. He still had luggage to put away at night, and he wanted to rest early after being tired from the journey, so the few of them headed for the small restaurant downstairs without any objection.

It was still snowing lightly in the sky in Beijing that day, sitting in a well-heated restaurant, drinking a few small wines, and looking at the window sill covered with snow outside the glass, Xu Jie felt that the unpleasant things he encountered at Dongfeng's house a few days ago seemed to have been classified as " You don't need to think about the page of 'past' for the time being.

Thinking of this, his mood suddenly became lighter, and he chatted with Bai Zhinan at the dinner table.Bai Zhinan picked up the wine on the wine table and said to them: "I really took care of you a while ago. Come, let me toast you. If there is anything I can help in the future, just say it."

Xu Jie hurriedly said: "Brother, you are too polite."

Seeing that Dongfeng was not energetic, Bai Zhinan patted him on the shoulder and said with a sigh: "Actually, I admire you all for daring to reveal this matter. Now give them some time, and sooner or later they will understand you. Like me and Zheng Chong... ...I don't know how much longer we'll be together."

"You two get along so well, and it's been so many years..."

Bai Zhinan sighed and said: "Now we don't dare to think about the future. When we think about it seriously, we feel more and more that we can live better after we are separated. Now we are just exhausted."

Bai Zhinan's words made Xu Jie's mood a little more gray.

Later Xu Jie was thinking about the things Bai Zhinan said.He felt that Bai Zhinan's idea was more realistic.Between people, how can it be said that a lifetime is really a lifetime?When he liked Bai Zhinan back then, he also loved him wholeheartedly. When he broke up, he once felt that he would not be able to live on. When he met again, he thought that he still had some old feelings for him.

And actually?Xu Jie looked at Bai Zhinan, and found that he could actually face this person calmly now, it had nothing to do with whether he loved him or not, and he no longer had any attachment to him.

Even if he can afford to let go, then one day, when Yu Dongfeng and him are really impossible, it won't really matter, right?Maybe he will also be like him and Bai Zhinan now, visiting other people's homes and chatting like friends.

Seeing that his declaration of "a lifetime" did not get any response from those two people, Yu Dongfeng was extremely depressed.This frustration was carried all the way to the bed, and he buried his face in Xu Jie's chest and rubbed vigorously, muffled about his uneasiness.

Xu Jie was a little helpless, took Yu Dongfeng's hand, and promised him: "I promise you, as long as you don't tell me to break up, I won't leave you."

Yu Dongfeng finally heard what he wanted to hear before going to sleep, and fell asleep contentedly.

When the weather turned warm, Bai Zhinan brought several news. One was that he had passed the interview and signed a working relationship with the national exam he took last year; Another one is that Zheng Chong has quit his job and is estimated to come to Beijing in the next two days, and the four of them can still get together by then.

Xu Jie and Yu Dongfeng both came to help on the day of the move. They didn't have much stuff, so they didn't even hire a car. Yu Dongfeng used his own car to help him pull it twice and it was almost done.

The house is the big two-bedroom that Zheng Chong has been talking about, and the location is good, not far from the Olympic Sports Park.Xu Jie sighed: "The rent of this house is not cheap, is it?"

Bai Zhinan lowered his head and poured tea for them, and said with a smile, "Fortunately, it's an acquaintance's house, and they don't ask for much rent."

Xu Jie nodded and didn't ask any more questions.After drinking tea for a while, Xu Jie originally wanted to drag Yu Dongfeng to leave early so that Bai Zhinan could have time to clean up the house, but Bai Zhinan insisted on inviting them to dinner, and finally found a place downstairs that seemed clean enough to eat. , Bai Zhinan sent them away.

Bai Zhinan said: "Some time ago, when I was in the most difficult time, thank you for your help. Really! Thank you, if there is anything I can help in the future, please feel free to say so."

At that time, Xu Jie was just saying good-bye to Bai Zhinan politely, but who would have thought that later he would actually encounter something that needed his help?

It was a month after Bai Zhinan moved out, Xu Jie unexpectedly discovered that Yu Dongfeng came back earlier than him after work.Yu Dongfeng, who caught Xu Jie at the door, said to him nervously, "My mother is here."

"You let him in!" Yu's mother said in the living room.

Yu Dongfeng nervously pulled Xu Jie's hand in, and was even more furious when Yu's mother saw him.She measured Xu Jie up and down, but no matter how she looked at it, she found it displeasing to the eye——Xu Jie was more than delicate, but not masculine. With such a male and female appearance, isn't he just a second chair?

Mama Yu opened her mouth to ask Xu Jie in an interrogative manner, "What's your name?"

"Xu Jie."

"Do your parents know about you?"

Xu Jie confessed honestly: "My mother passed away, and my father remarried. I usually don't have much contact with them."

Mother Yu frowned even more when she heard this, and said, "Xiao Xu, I'm not talking about you, our Dongdong is a normal child, different from you. Look, this year's Chinese New Year can't be spent at home..."

"Mom!" Yu Dongfeng couldn't bear to listen and interrupted her, "Say what you want to say quickly, it's impossible to separate the two of us!"

When Yu's mother heard that her son actually helped outsiders, her anger rose even more, and she grabbed Yu Dongfeng's ear and scolded: "Are you a demon? Ah? What's so good about such a second chair? I'll save money with your dad." Saved to help you buy a house in Beijing, did you ask you to raise the second chair?"

Yu Dongfeng turned his head and escaped from under his fucking fingers, and said with a stinky face, "Mom, don't speak so harshly, Xu Jie didn't provoke you. I fell in love with him first, why do you blame him?" ?”

Yu's mother became even angrier when she heard that, she picked up the clothes rack and beat Yu Dongfeng, cursing: "You like him? Ah? You still like him? I'll bring you up so that you can go to college and give you money." Buying a house just to make you fall in love with him? Do you have a conscience? Ah?"

Seeing his mother beating Yu Dongfeng, Xu Jie couldn't bear it, and went up to persuade: "Auntie, stop beating."

"Get out!" Yu's mother yelled, "The matter of our old Yu's family has nothing to do with you! I love to beat him to death. He is also my son, and it has nothing to do with you!"

After such a fight, there was no way to make dinner. Xu Jie made do with some quick-frozen dumplings, but after the dumplings were served, Yu's mother dropped the bowl together.Yu Dongfeng saw that it was not right to make trouble like this, so he discussed it with Xu Jie: "For the next two days, you should stay with Bai Zhinan and the others for two days. I can do my mother's work here. Send her away."

Xu Jie glanced at the living room and nodded.

Xu Jie simply packed some things, and Yu Dongfeng told Bai Zhinan about staying for two days, and then drove Xu Jie all the way to Bai Zhinan's home.At this time Zheng Chong also came over, hearing Yu Dongfeng talk about the family affairs, he was very disappointed.

When Xu Jie sent Yu Dongfeng out, he was hugged by him.Yu Dongfeng apologized to him, saying, "I'm sorry."

Xu Jie bowed his head and responded, "It's okay."

Yu Dongfeng said: "I can convince them, I will be able to convince them. Give me some time."

Xu Jie followed with an 'um'.

Yu Dongfeng said again: "Tomorrow morning, I will drive you to work."

Xu Jie said: "No, I'll just take the bus tomorrow. You have to go around a lot when you come here and back."

Yu Dongfeng insisted: "I'll see you off, you let me see you off."

Xu Jie couldn't resist him, so he had no choice but to agree.
