he sits on the face

two months ago -

"Have you got your work visa?"

"Well, it's done."

This is the first time Shen Junqi has received a call from Shen Guofeng after three months. Not long ago, he just graduated from ETH Zurich and successfully joined a machinery manufacturing company.

"I don't even make a phone call after it's done."

Shen Guofeng's tone was somewhat complaining: "Did you ask a lawyer to help you?"

"It's a lawyer hired by the company."

"Oh."

Since Shen Junqi went abroad, Shen Guofeng rarely contacted Shen Junqi. Most of the time, Shen Junjie was at the dinner table and told him about Shen Junqi's recent situation, such as where he went for internship, how his thesis was going, and which country his roommate was from.In fact, this kind of situation did not exist in the two years when Shen Junqi first went abroad. In those two years, Shen Junqi did not return to China, nor did he receive a phone call from home.

Shen Junjie also wanted to contact Shen Junqi, but under the pressure of Shen Guofeng, he had to give up.

It was in the past two years that the two brothers had more frequent contact. It was Shen Junjie who told Shen Guofeng about the work visa.

"If I knew it was so difficult to find a job in Switzerland, I should have let you go back to my country."

Shen Junqi said, "It's okay."

Shen Guofeng said: "Hey, Junqi, why don't you go back to China as soon as possible, there are plenty of opportunities in China, not better than in Switzerland? Are you still planning to settle down there?"

Shen Junqi said, "I have this idea."

Shen Guofeng sighed again.

Shen Guofeng's mood is a bit wrong today.

When Shen Junqi received the call, he noticed it, but he has always had a character of not asking without asking, from classmates to family members.

After the conversation went cold for a while, Shen Junqi heard Shen Guofeng sighed a few more times, and asked, "Did you have a boyfriend over there?"

"No."

"Not considering finding one?"

Shen Junqi's hand holding the phone was suddenly clenched, and after a long time, he replied, "No."

"It's time to find one, and you're 24 too..."

Shen Guofeng babbled again, which friend's son got married, which old neighbor had a grandson, and Shen Junqi couldn't figure out what he wanted to express, so he ended the call with a simple and clear sentence.

"Dad, it's been seven years, and I'm out of ideas."

Sure enough, the chatter over there stopped.

Then, he heard Shen Guofeng let out a long sigh: "Junqi, whether it's me or your brother, we all hope you live well..."

Shen Junqi wanted to laugh a little, but he didn't know whether to laugh at Shen Guofeng or himself.

In such a big family, there are only two people who treat him well and wish him well, but he hurts them the most.

"Your aunt always said, this time you are back, and I want to introduce someone to you—do you still remember Mr. Lu Huan? That time I accompanied the old Mr. Lu to play golf, and Mr. Lu was also there. He said that he was at the airport once When I met you, I wanted to invite you to dinner, but you caught a cold. Mr. Lu's wife also asked about your birthday, and said that you and Mr. Lu are perfect for each other. When you come back, we can meet each other."

"Dad, stop talking."

Whether it's for casual chatting or intentional matchmaking, Shen Junqi couldn't bear to say these words from Shen Guofeng's mouth.With that incident in mind, Shen Junqi had no choice but to speculate on Shen Guofeng's intentions behind what he said.

He hung up the phone and fell back on the bed, covering his eyes with his arms.

It has been seven years, and it has been seven years since I came to this strange country.

From an ignorant teenager to stepping into society, the shadow of seven years ago still failed to make him go out completely.

This shadow comes from himself.

Shen Junqi felt that he was a pervert, a bastard, and an unforgivable sinner.

He ruined Shen Junjie's wedding and used the secret he had hidden for several years.

If possible, he would like to go back seven years to destroy himself at that moment.

On the night of Shen Junjie's marriage seven years ago, alcohol destroyed his sanity. When he followed the crowd into the new house, he pushed aside the crowd, hugged Shen Junjie, and almost broke down and revealed his secret.

There was some confusion at the scene, but fortunately Shen Guofeng was present, which made this immoral farce less appalling——

Shen Guofeng's adopted youngest son fell in love with his sister-in-law, made a fuss at the wedding, and was kicked out of the house by Shen Guofeng.

The outside world is so rumored.

Shen Junqi was hit hard, but what made him even more unacceptable was the forgiveness of Shen Junjie and his wife Jiao Qin. Even before he went abroad, Jiao Qin specially prepared winter clothes for him.

Shen Junqi lay on the bed, and after forcing himself to forget all this again, he took the mobile phone from the side.

He sent Shen Guofeng a message: "I will always remember the kindness of my father, brother and sister-in-law. I will protect their small family. I will not allow anyone, including myself, to destroy it."

Shen Guofeng did not reply to his message.After a while, Shen Junjie called.

After so many years of tempering, he has become accustomed to hiding his strong feelings in his heart, and facing Shen Junjie and Jiao Qin with a peaceful mind.

Shen Junjie usually talks to him on weekends. Most of their chats are about study and work, and occasionally they talk about Shen Junjie's daughter.Shen Junjie didn't call him last week, and he didn't see each other for two weeks, Shen Junjie looked a bit haggard.

"busy at work?"

Shen Junjie nodded.

"Junqi, I really hope that you can come back and help me. You know, I'm very stupid. Being with a group of old foxes makes me feel really uncomfortable..."

Shen Junqi comforted him: "Brother, take your time."

Shen Junjie said: "Really, you have such a smart mind. If you study machinery, you should study business and finance. If you study business, there will be things like Lu Huan and Lu Feng. Our Shen family also has young talents. .”

Shen Junqi deliberately changed the topic: "I remember that Lu Huan didn't seem to be studying business."

"Really? How do you know? You know each other?"

"I met him at the airport last year. We just got on the first flight, so we chatted. He seems to be studying astronomy."

"Astronomy, wasn't that the major you wanted to study the most when you were young?"

Like most children, when Shen Junqi was young, his dream was to be a scientist who looked at the stars.

They talked a lot about their childhood, as if their relationship with each other hadn't changed at all because of that accident.

That night, Shen Junqi lay on the bed and thought for a while, maybe the only ones he couldn't let go of were himself and Shen Guofeng.

The next day, Shen Guofeng called again to persuade Shen Junqi to return home.

He talked about Lu Huan again, Shen Guofeng was more than 50 people, and when he talked about Lu Huan, he had an extremely adoring tone.

Shen Junqi quietly listened to him.

"Dad, did you read yesterday's WeChat?"

"What did you say?"

"WeChat. If you haven't read it yet, I want to add that I don't accept this kind of marriage transaction."

Shen Guofeng was poked in the sore foot: "What kind of marriage deal is this? Did I force you to meet Mr. Lu? Mr. Lu admires you, and you don't have a boyfriend. Is it that difficult to meet you when you come back and have a meal? Or, do you have to guard your brother and live alone forever?"

"dad!"

This time the call broke up badly, but unfortunately on the third and fourth days, Shen Guofeng seemed to be poisoned, calling every day, urging Shen Junqi to go back to the country to see Lu Huan.

Shen Junqi hacked Shen Guofeng's phone number.

At that time, he had already guessed that something was wrong with his family's company. Unfortunately, Shen Guofeng's repeated harassment made him lose control of his emotions in those few days, and he had no time to think about other things.

A week later, he received another call from Shen Junjie.

Both brothers looked a little tired.

"Junqi, how are you doing in Switzerland?"

"pretty good."

Shen Junjie smiled: "Last week I was thinking of asking you to come back and help me, but then your sister-in-law told me that I was too selfish. You are an adult, you should have your own life and choices. Jun Qi, Live well there."

"I'll be back to see you often."

Shen Junjie shook his head: "Junqi, if you don't want to come back, don't force yourself. Really, I have seen a lot of people and things recently. The pace of Jinsha City is too fast, maybe it is really not suitable for life. Don't come back, promise me , when Feifei is older next year, I will bring her and your sister-in-law to see you."

"elder brother……"

Shen Junjie asked about Shen Junqi's income again, and learned that he was still renting with a white girl, and advised him to live back in the apartment he bought.

That apartment was bought by Shen Junjie in the name of Shen Junqi. At that time, it was said to be a real estate for Shen Guofeng to retire in the future. In fact, it was Shen Junjie's graduation gift to Shen Junqi. Shen Junqi moved out after two months and handed it over to the real estate. Brokerage.

"I also saved an account for you. You can use the money in it for yourself. Don't tell your sister-in-law." Shen Junjie joked.

Shen Junqi's eye sockets were slightly moist.

At that time, he didn't realize that maybe this was the last phone call between him and Shen Junjie.

Until the next day, when he saw the account information on his phone, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

He hurriedly called Shen Junjie, but no one answered.

Shen Junjie couldn't get through, so he called Jiao Qin again, but Jiao Qin's phone showed that it was turned off.

Shen Junqi was a little scared. He found Shen Guofeng's phone number from the blacklist, and dialed Shen Guofeng's phone almost tremblingly. This time, the call was connected, and the mournful cry of the aunt at home came from the receiver. ——

"Junqi, your father and brother are gone—"
