Li Mingwei looked down at the dozens of photos on the table. In the photos, the handsome boy smiled at An Ran, his soft eyes were watching the tall and straight shadow beside him.The man was putting a hat on the boy with a slightly reproachful expression, frowning slightly——

Frequently putting hats on Shen Yi is another habit that Lu Chen developed when he came to Penang.This broken place can blow people's scalp away every day.

Li Mingwei flipped through the remaining photos, some of them looked younger, but they were all of the same person——his ill-fated son Shen Yi.The exact date of shooting is attached in the lower right corner of the photo, and Li Mingwei can see Shen Yi's changes in the past few years at a glance.

Before Lu Chen came, the young man in the photo had never smiled.With his sixty years of life experience, it is difficult to figure out such an obsession.What's more, he couldn't figure out who his stubbornness followed?

Shen Yi's mother is just a vase with ostentatious appearance, she is following the trend, and hooked up with Li Mingwei for the sake of money.Li Mingwei was in a high position, so of course he would not take a bitch seriously, she was just a plaything on the spur of the moment.If Shen Yi hadn't been a boy, if Shen Yi's biological mother hadn't threatened him with a child, Shen Yi probably wouldn't have survived to give birth.

In the end, Xiao Sanxing took the money in a hurry, threw the child away and ran away.Later, when the government strictly investigated, Li Mingwei also had to throw the child to a remote countryside.It’s just that I never thought that there would be a later one——

The youngest son, who was only 12 years old, died in an accidental car accident. Due to karma, I am afraid that I will die.

"Dong dong dong", the door was knocked.

Li Mingwei put away the photos, put them in the bottom drawer, and sat up, "Come in."

The one who came in was a man in his thirties with a neat suit and neat short hair. He looked like he couldn't be found in the crowd.It's his assistant - Xiao Zhang.

"Director," Xiao Zhang said.

"What's the matter?" Li Mingwei didn't look up, just took a document and pretended to read it in a daze.

Xiao Zhang glanced at Li Mingwei's face, and handed over the folder in his arms in a regular manner.

"This is Miss Li Er's application for regularization." Xiao Zhang lowered his gaze, avoiding meeting Li Mingwei's gaze.

This second daughter was the last thing Li Mingwei wanted to see, especially after the death of his youngest son.

Li Mingwei glanced at the file, but did not open it, "What is she going to do again?"

"Uh..." Xiao Zhang hesitated symbolically, indicating that he was in an embarrassing situation, and then said with a little hesitation: "The city library..."

Li Mingwei couldn't help but snorted coldly, "There are more than 30 people, and they are wandering around every day, and there is nothing serious about it."

Xiao Zhang has followed him for many years, so Li Mingwei sometimes complains indiscriminately.After all, the second daughter is too incomprehensible, because she has a backing father, and her work is like child's play.

Li Mingwei continued: "What is she doing in the library like that? Has she read any books?"

Xiao Zhang really wanted to say that administrators don't need to read books.But of course he knows his professional ethics.

Li Mingwei signed in agitation, and Xiao Zhang hurriedly took the document and left in desperation.

After Xiao Zhang left, Li Mingwei took out Shen Yi's photo—Race College, Penang University.He was admitted to two colleges in succession.If the son who was thrown away didn't have that special hobby, he would really be his proudest child.

Of course, Shen Yi was so beautiful that he was also very surprised. This appearance really followed that glamorous mother.When he was a child, he was shy, with downcast eyes, and he couldn't see clearly with tinted glasses. He didn't expect to be so handsome and handsome when he grew up.

But then he saw Lu Chen next to Shen Yi. The undefeated yang on Teacher Lu's body was frozen into ice in Li Mingwei's eyes.

Lu Chen, it is impossible for him to stay.He is a stain on Shen Yi's perfect life.

The phone vibrated, and Li Mingwei slid the screen to unlock it, but frowned when he saw the message.

Shen Yi didn't know if it was because of his nervousness or because he realized something, he was very sticky to Lu Chen these days.It's almost like going to the toilet with me.

Although Lu Chen was very happy in his heart, he also found that his clinginess was not right.Lu Chen guessed in his heart whether Shen Yi was going to fall ill again, and had been thinking about how to abduct him to the hospital for a checkup these days.He had secretly made several phone calls with Dr. Wang He in private—Wang He was the attending doctor who brought Shen Yi to treat him for the first time.

Lu Chen pushed the shopping cart, glanced at Shen Yi who was tugging at his sleeve, and was thinking whether to speak directly.Because most of the attention was occupied by the brain, he suddenly almost bumped into a half-person tall child in front of him, and was dragged back by Shen Yi.

Shen Yi looked at him, "I'll do it." But his eyes said to Lu Chen: What are you thinking, are you out of your mind?

Lu Chen glanced at him, arched his nose, "Do you want...to go to the hospital?"

Shen Yi raised his eyebrows slightly in doubt.

Lu Chen lowered his head in embarrassment, "Are you... how are you? You always feel a little nervous, and then..."

Lu Chen shut up, because he saw Shen Yi's cold eyes instantly.

Lu Chen hurriedly explained, "I'm not blaming you, I'm afraid that if you keep enduring it yourself, I can't do anything..."

"I know", Shen Yi lowered his gaze.Lu Chen saw his clenched hand on the shopping cart, which was pale and pale.

"Sorry, I……"

"Shen Yi!" Lu Chen growled, "Don't tell me you're sorry."He put his arms around Shen Yi's shoulders, and took a long breath, "You've been a little nervous recently, you know? You're not restful when you sleep, do you always have nightmares?"

Shen Yi didn't speak, it was a tacit agreement.

"What are you afraid of? Because of Li Mingwei?" Lu Chen whispered in his ear. "Didn't I say I would bear it with you?"

Shen Yi shook his head, looking a little helpless.Lu Chen quietly waited for him to speak.

But Shen Yi didn't speak all the time, as if slowly swallowing the words that could be said.

Lu Chen had no choice but to turn the page, "Are you sure you're okay?"

Shen Yi nodded.

"Okay, then I won't ask again, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Lu Chen felt that his hands were covered with cold sweat, and wiped him with his own hand, "Then listen to me, I'll do whatever I want."

Shen Yi didn't say anything more.It was only after entering the house that he breathed a sigh of relief, and spread it out on the sofa.

On the weekend of the next day, Shen Yi was a little relieved that he didn't have to go out all day.He doesn't like to go out very much these days.Looking at Lu Chen's busy back through the glass window, it is only at this time of the day that he can feel a little bit at ease.

Shen Yi walked over slowly and hugged Lu Chen from behind.Lu Chen looked back at him and smiled.Shen Yi really wanted to say sorry, but remembered Lu Chen's advice, and shut up honestly.

"Li Mingwei, in fact, I have been sent to follow and monitor me." Lu Chen paused while chopping vegetables, waiting for him to continue, "It has been the same for the past three years. I don't know what he is going to do, but it has been nothing movement."

Shen Yi went on to say: "...but now that you are here, I am a little panicked. Moreover, since the last time we met, he has been monitoring me even more fiercely."

No wonder, Lu Chen thought, no wonder his implicit confession provoked such a big reaction from him the day he first arrived.

Lu Chen put down the kitchen knife, turned around and looked at him for a while, kissed the corner of his mouth lightly, and then hugged his shoulder with unclean paws.

Lu Chen gave Shen Yi a coquettish smile, "How can I make you feel so pitiful? Beauty, you must have owed me a lot of money in your previous life, and now you will fall into my hands."

Shen Yi smiled wryly at his indecent appearance, and was about to give Lu Chen an incomparably tender kiss...the door opened.

The two were separated by [-] centimeters at the speed of light.

Lu Chen looked awkwardly at the fat man who came in, "Hahahaha, that... Long time no see, big brother!"

I almost forgot about you, why did you choose this time to come?

"Yeah", the fat man changed his clothes and shoes and didn't say anything more.Seeing that his eyes were a little red, Lu Chen was thinking whether to care about this roommate.Before he could open his mouth, Fatty burst into tears, like rain.

Lu Chen had no choice but to say, "What's wrong with you? Are you broken in love?"

The fat man simply cried out, covered his face and squatted in the porch without moving.

Lu Chen and Shen Yi looked at each other, and both walked over.

"Hey, why don't we have a drink together? It's rare for us to get together."

The fat man cried and nodded.

Lu Chen signaled Shen Yi to help him onto the sofa first, and then said to the fat man, "I'll cook first, and it will be ready in a while. There is a case of beer next to the refrigerator, Shen Yi, go get it."

Shen Yi nodded, and tugged at Fatty's arm.

Lu Chen was busy in the kitchen, and he could still hear the fat man sobbing.The so-called man does not flick his tears lightly, this appearance is definitely a broken love, probably the first love.

Shen Yi is not very good at comforting people, he only opened the beer for others, and kept glancing at Lu Chen in the kitchen.

The fat man looked up at Shen Yi, lived for more than a year, and it was the first time he saw his face in such detail, the fat man forgot to cry while watching.Shen Yi seemed to feel something, turned his head and smiled at the fat man.

"If I grow up like you, she won't run away with others."

Just as Lu Chen came out of the kitchen with the dishes, he heard this sentence out of the blue.For a moment, I didn't know whether to be happy or not.

Lu Chen pursed his lips, and put the two dishes on the tea table—the restaurant was too cramped for a long talk.

"Shen Yi, go serve the dishes."

Shen Yi obediently went to work, and Lu Chen sat in the middle.Shen Yi tidied up the table and sat next to Lu Chen.

"Brother, you..." Lu Chen wanted to say that it was just a lovelorn, as for that?When I think about it, it really matters.I also want to say that women are like clothes.These words... Although Shen Yi is not a woman, it is not very pleasant to hear.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say, especially when there was another person sitting beside me.

Lu Chen, who hesitated again and again, looked at the fat man's rabbit eyes, and said in embarrassment, "Well...she ran away with others, which means she didn't take you seriously. It's a good thing that such a person left, it's better than being caught She lied all her life."

The fat man took a sip of his wine and smiled wryly at Lu Chen, "I envy you very much."

Lu Chen looked confused, "Huh?"

Fatty: "You can say this, it means that the person you love loves you very much. Only you can have such confidence."

Lu Chen subconsciously glanced at Shen Yi, and Shen Yi frowned at him.

The fat man lit a cigarette and continued to discuss life, "In this world, not everyone has the luck to fall in love." He took a puff of cigarette and exhaled slowly, "A lot of times, it's a sincerity and a compromise."

Lu Chen: "Compromise?"

"Well," Fatty nodded, "compromise with life, no longer expect love or not, and live a life of improvisation. To put it simply, it is to love and be loved."

Shen Yi couldn't help but speak, "Wouldn't that sincere person be very pitiful?"

The fat man smiled at Shen Yi's handsome face, "Someone like you will definitely be the one who is loved. But when it comes to being pitiful, the one who is loved is actually even more pitiful. The one who really likes has something in his heart. Love, although you can’t get the same emotional response from the other party. Whether it’s pain or confusion, it’s all because of that one person. This is also love. Having love is a good thing.”

Shen Yi glanced at Lu Chen in confusion, he only liked Lu Chen, and he didn't understand so many profound truths.Lu Chen returned him a gentle look, and Lu Chen understood, so he felt even more lucky.

The fat man continued: "Although the one who compromises is the one who is loved, she may be lucky in the eyes of others. But there is no love in her heart, and there will always be endless emptiness."

Lu Chen raised the can of beer and touched the fat man's bottle.Two people drank a can.

Lu Chen said: "So, that person of yours left you unwilling to compromise?"

The fat man took a sip of his wine and nodded silently.

Lu Chen continued: "Then she told you these words. You like her, and you have paid a lot to move her and make her fall in love with you. She is very moved, but she is unwilling to compromise on love, and still hopes to find someone like herself. The person I like, so I tell you everything?"

Tears welled up from the corners of the fat man's eyes.No matter what he did or didn't do, the eyes could shed tears at any time, he knew it all too well.

Lu Chen sighed, and subconsciously squeezed Shen Yi's fingers with the hand hanging by his side.

The fat man looked at the TV in front of him, but his eyes seemed far away.

"She has suffered a lot from love, and she thought about finding someone to live her whole life like this. But she still couldn't convince herself. She couldn't compromise on life."

Lu Chen didn't know what to say, or rather, there was no need to say anything at this time.Just give him an outlet to vent.

The fat man's originally slack eyes suddenly focused on Lu Chen, "I treat her well, did I do something wrong?"

Lu Chen thought about how to express his thoughts in the most subtle way.

Lu Chen said: "My parents divorced when I was a child, and I grew up with my mother. The impact of parents' divorce on children is actually quite large. The psychological shock is a natural instinct. I asked my mother at that time and said divorce Did you ever think about me when I was here? My mother said something to me."

Lu Chen raised his eyes and looked at the fat man seriously, and the fat man was looking at him seriously with questioning eyes.

Lu Chen said: "Nothing is more important than happiness. After all, people only live like this for a lifetime."

The fat man was stunned for a while, then lowered his head and nodded blankly.

Lu Chen made a toast to him, and held Shen Yi tightly with the hand hanging on the left side.Grabbing like a life-saving straw.

The fat man drank several bottles one after another, and finally said, "I see, thank you."

These love affairs are like Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer.There is no right or wrong, and nothing should or shouldn't.No one has to complain, they can only swallow the wound by themselves.Then continue with the wound in the future life.Maybe one day the wound will heal, and some will never heal for a lifetime.

It's all inexplicable.

Fatty's complexion improved a lot after he figured it out, and now it's up to time to see if he will be given a chance to scab.

Lu Chen didn't say anything else, but after listening to Fatty's emotion, he suddenly remembered what Shen Yi said about Li Mingwei's constant monitoring of him.If Li Mingwei really did something to Shen Yi, Lu Chen couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't go crazy.
