unexpected rain

These two words made Lin Ji's heart jump suddenly, and those memories that he deliberately avoided followed one after another.

On New Year's Eve last year, he was not alone, he had the happiest moment since his new life.

If he was still kept in the dark, maybe he would have told Gaga about this story just now.

But now, they have all become the existence that Lin Ji least wants to mention, regrets the most, and is the most ashamed, no matter that relationship or that person.

Lin looked at the number that sent the message, it was an unfamiliar number, and he had already blocked Xiang Shifang's various contact methods, so it was self-evident who sent the message.

Lin walked to the window and looked down. Whether it was a coincidence or on purpose, the McLaren was parked in exactly the same position as last year.

The car door opened, and a man in a black coat came out. He looked up and met Lin Ji's gaze.

After such a long distance, Lin couldn't see Xiang Shifang's expression clearly, but he could see his little movements - he took his hand out of his pocket, put it back, and back and forth several times. He was nervous and embarrassed. ?

It doesn't matter, no matter how similar this situation is to last year, Lin Ji is no longer the Lin Ji of last year.

Xiang Shifang took out his cell phone, and then Lin Ji's cell phone rang.

After Lin stared at it for a long time, he picked it up.

"Hello." Xiang Shifang's voice was hoarse and rough, like snow sweeping across the ground, "Happy New Year, Lin Ji."

"En." Lin Ji said lightly, "Is that you downstairs?"

Xiang Shifang choked for a moment, and then was overwhelmed by a panic, why did Lin Ji ask like this?Can't he see it's him?After only a month of separation, did Lin Ji start to forget?

"...It's me." Xiang Shifang said, "I want to see you."

"No need, go back, don't contact me again." After Lin finished speaking, he hung up and blocked the number.

At the same time that the phone turned into a busy tone, Xiang Shifang also saw the curtains being drawn, blocking his view.

It seemed to separate him from the world where Lin Ji lived together.

Xiang Shifang couldn't help but take a step forward, but it didn't change anything.

The cold wind blew his face mercilessly, cutting his flesh like ice blades, it was cold and painful.

But compared to Lin Ji's indifference, these pains seemed nothing.

Xiang Shifang stood blankly in the cold wind, he felt that he was not like his original self.He will never hold back anything, the passing of a thing must have its own laws of reason, he never regrets, and never regrets, and the same goes for feelings.

But today, he remembered that it was also New Year's Eve. Last year, Lin Ji threw himself into his arms happily, his eyes full of love for him. They officially confirmed their relationship, kissed and hugged each other, and turned the cold winter into spring. .

He suddenly wanted to see Lin Ji, and this thought was like a scourge, so ferocious that it made him restless.

So he came and heard Lin Ji's voice, saying that there was no need to contact her again.

This was the result that Xiang Shifang had expected, and what puzzled him was that even though he knew it must be this result, he still came.

He doesn't like this feeling of controlling his emotions, he is tired of his incoherent behavior, and even more resents Lin Ji's attitude towards him.

How can a person who once had the most sincere love and the most appropriate tenderness from Lin Ji adapt to the current indifference and resistance?

Lin not only carried Jia Jia into the room, but also added half a can of food to his aunt, and then sat on the sofa alone and watched the TV, and the dazzling singing and dancing inside did not enter his mind at all.

Lin Ji, who was restless and forced himself to sit still, couldn't hold back in the end, walked to the window again, and carefully lifted the curtain.

McLaren has driven away.

Lin felt relieved, but in the next second a more complex and difficult emotion returned, like swallowing a razor blade, cutting from throat to stomach.

Xiang Shifang's patience lasted only half an hour.

After realizing what he was thinking about, Lin Ji pinched his thigh severely.

Don't be mean.he said to himself.

As soon as the annual leave was over, Lin Ji took Jia Jia and his aunt to Rong City without hesitation.

In the first half month of arriving in the new city, Lin was so busy that he couldn't keep his feet on the ground. From the check-in of the new house to Jiajia's admission procedures, not to mention a lot of things at work were waiting for him.

The scale of the branch has not yet been formed. Since Lin recruits people first, at least every department must be in operation before the company can develop.Fortunately, there is no shortage of talents in big cities. After recruiting good people, it is to attract investment, launch new products, do projects, and discuss cooperation. quite a lot.

But it also requires hard work. Lin has to go out almost every day, and he has to go to the wine table when he is off the negotiating table.In the past, he was a loner, and even if his aunt was at home, he could feel at ease with the surveillance. Now it is different. He has a son, and he has to learn to find a balance between family and work.

But this is also a novel feeling. He used to be so busy, but at that time he had no experience, and the way of handling things had not been experienced, so he seemed jerky and sloppy, so he always hit a wall, and compared himself with Xiang Shifang when he was frustrated , push yourself by measuring the gap between them.But now he doesn't need to do this anymore, he can turn his hands around with ease, and no one in his field will underestimate him, which makes the busy work and entertainment no longer depressing, but full and progressive.

It's just that he thought that the root cause of his change was still related to Xiang Shifang, which made him unhappy.

Fortunately, he didn't have that much time to think about it all the time.

He had a dinner that day, and it was almost nine o'clock when he got out of the hotel. The driver came to pick him up. As soon as he got in the car, he saw Jia Jia reading a book in the back seat.

"Dad!" Gaga immediately put down the book.

"What's going on?" Lin Ji said, "Shouldn't you be at the teacher's house now?"

Lin Ji was too busy during this period, and sometimes he was not at home at night. It happened that there was an elementary school teacher upstairs in their house. When Lin Ji was not at home, Jiajia would go to the teacher to study.

As soon as Lin got into the car, Gaga climbed onto his lap and lay on his chest, "You haven't picked me up from school for a week."

"Daddy has to go to work, otherwise how can I buy you toys?" Lin Ji said with a smile, and he stroked Jiajia's soft hair.

"I don't want toys, I want you to pick me up every day." Gaga whispered.

"But what about my aunt's canned food?" Lin Ji asked.

"That's right, my aunt needs to eat a lot of canned food..." Jiajia became distressed, he couldn't deprive my aunt of the canned food just because he wanted his father to accompany him more, "I... I will eat half of the food in the future and buy it for my aunt can."

Lin Ji laughed, "Grandma eats more than you in one meal."

Gaga's eyebrows were wrinkled, and he wrung his fingers and muttered earnestly how to get the best of both worlds.

Lin Ji thought to himself, the son is so cute, and it is nice to have a son.

At the same time, Yong City.

After Xiang Shifang came out of the wine shop, he didn't ask the driver to take him home, but asked the driver to drive to another community.

He was a little drunk, instinct was stronger than reason, there was a company assistant in the private room just now, also wearing glasses, at first glance he looked like Lin Ji, but that was not Lin Ji, his eyes were not as beautiful as Lin Ji, and he was not as tall as Lin Ji , not like Lin Ji who can talk and persuade him not to drink too much.

For three months, from severe winter to early spring, he hadn't seen Lin Ji.

Why is Kelin still entrenched in his mind, so clear and profound.

Xiang Shifang's footsteps were a bit shallow, he came to the door of Lin Ji's house, and took out the key to open the door.

The key and the lockhole are not the same, and they can't be inserted.

This is the key of Lin Ji's house. He deliberately did not return it, did not throw it away, and kept it with him all the time.

If Xiang Shifang hadn't been drunk, he would have known that the lock had been changed, and he wouldn't have been so stubborn about using the key, trying to insert it from various angles.

He tried for more than ten minutes, to no avail.

But something unbelievable happened, the door made a light sound of the latch snapping open, and the door opened.

In such a dull situation, Xiang Shifang's heart was beating fast, and the fireworks of surprise were in full bloom. He raised his head and shouted: "Lin Ji!"

But in front of him was another man, wearing loose half-sleeves and underpants, with wet hair, who had obviously just taken a shower.

This is Lin Ji's home, how could there be other men?

Xiang Shifang felt as if a heavy stone had been smashed into his chest, then he came down from the shadows and grabbed the man by the collar, his knuckles turning white.

"Damn it!" Song Liyuan was attacked before he could speak, with question marks and exclamation marks all over his head, "Let... let... me!"

Xiang Shifang's hands were astonishingly strong. Song Liyuan, a brute force guy in his early twenties, couldn't help him. He was slammed against the wall and was about to be strangled to death. When he was in crisis, he blurted out: "Lin now that!"

Xiang Shifang loosened his strength.

Song Liyuan hurriedly broke free, coughed while holding the shoe rack, and cursed: "Are you fucking sick? First the thief broke the door, and then broke into the house and attacked people, shit! Your neck is broken!"

Xiang Shifang finally recognized him, and said slowly, "It's you."

"Who do you think?" Song Liyuan yelled at him, turned his mind again, and spat, "You think I'm having an affair with Uncle Lin again? I'm not interested in men!"

Xiang Shifang didn't take his roar seriously, but asked, "Where's Lin Ji?"

"He went to Rongshi a long time ago, and I borrowed here for some family reasons." Song Liyuan said, he heard that Xiang Shifang had been drinking, so he didn't care about it after scolding him a few times, and said as he walked into the house : "Why are you here? Didn't you break up with him?"

Xiang Shifang didn't say a word. He came to this house again after three months. The decoration inside remained the same, but there was no fat cat who fell down and acted like a baby when he saw him, and there was no gentle man.

Xiang Shifang stood there in a daze, fully realizing what it means to be emotional when touched by a scene.

Song Liyuan kindly brought him a box of milk, and seeing his expression, he said "Oh—" in a clear way, "Do you want to get back with me, Uncle Lin?"

complex?He has a fiancée, and the wedding date is fixed, which will be in June this year, the day Percy graduated.

Xiang Shifang couldn't help laughing, the smile was full of sarcasm, no wonder Lin Ji disliked him, he was completely egoistic and selfish to the extreme.

Song Liyuan gave the milk to Xiang Shifang, "But I advise you not to pester him, he asked to be transferred to Rongshi so politely, it must be because he doesn't want to see you."

Song Liyuan didn't notice that because of his words, the tall and stern man trembled slightly, like the first strike of a bell on a bronze bell.

"You also know that Uncle Lin was depressed before." Song Liyuan said.

"Depression?" Xiang Shifang looked surprised.

"Yes, but it has been better for many years, and he didn't tell you?"

Xiang Shifang shook his head and asked, "Why are you depressed?"

"I don't know the specifics. My family won't let me mention it, but I can understand that when Uncle Lin was in high school, both of his parents died, and he died without a problem in his studies. He is not a god, so how can he survive?"

"I still remember that when I was just in high school, Uncle Lin drank at my house and cried while drinking. My parents didn't know that he was sick at that time. Now that I think about it, if I didn't find out, Uncle Lin was sick. If someone is carrying it, he might really... Well, let’s forget about this.”

Song Liyuan waved his hand, and then Shifang's face turned pale when he saw Xiang Shifang, slightly bowed his back and covered his heart, and was startled, "Hey, hey! What's wrong with you being drunk?!"

Xiang Shifang's heart is healthy, but at this moment he feels real pain.

He wanted to go back to the past and question his lack of empathy why he wanted to snatch the quota that belonged to Lin Ji. If he hadn't done that, maybe Lin Ji wouldn't have experienced this.

That is you, Xiang Shifang.

Xiang Shifang seemed to hear Lin Ji's voice, and it seemed to be his own voice.

Even after nine years, you can't be separated from you nine years ago. You are the same person, and you are the one who killed Lin Ji.
