his mermaid

***

No calls from home were answered for two full days, and the phone was flooded with voicemails.

It turned out that Yueguo would also care about his indifferent attitude, and he kept apologizing, so he was extremely satisfied to control Yueguo's emotions.

He made a phone call home and heard Yue Guo's greetings.

Normally, Yueguo would not answer until at least the third call.Because it is too strenuous to answer the phone from the second floor with crutches, or it takes several minutes to get down from the elevator in a wheelchair. This time, the first call was answered by Yueguo. It seems that Yueguo is Just stay in the living room.

"Yueguo, it's me." Yaochen slowly raised his voice.

"Yaochen? Why are you..."

Yue Guo's tone seemed to suddenly become frustrated, "Did you hear my message?"

"Why, don't you want me to call back?"

For Yaochen, he didn't care about the content of those messages at all, and he didn't bother to listen to them one by one. He only hoped that Yueguo would be happy when he received the phone call he gave him.

The tone of disappointment was nothing more than the fact that the wrong person was waiting for this call. Yueguo thought it was someone else calling. Thinking of this, Lian Shijie's name came to mind.Could it be that Yueguo was waiting for Lian Shijie's call in the living room, and he suddenly became irritable.

"What are you doing? Talking."

"I've already said, can you come back and discuss it with me." Yue Guo said in a strange voice.

"Discuss what?"

"I want to wait for you to come back."

"I can't go home at the moment, you can talk on the phone first."

"I said in the message..."

What Yueguo was sure of was that Yaochen didn't care about his voicemail, and he felt aggrieved by it.

"You must not have listened, I just want to separate...Maybe you will be angry or refuse, but I have already thought about it."

"Are you angry?"

The pace of walking on the street stopped suddenly, and Yaochen found that he had already reached the door of the coffee shop where he had agreed to meet with the lawyer.

Yue Guo's words made his scalp tingle, and he didn't want to enter the room so quickly.

"I don't know..." Yue Guo whispered, "So I hope you can tell me face to face when you go home. I'm still thinking that if you don't come back, I'll make my own decision."

The gentle and coquettish voice did not seem to be angry, but carried his unique cuteness, and Yaochen's tense heartstrings gradually relaxed.

"Then let's talk about it when I get home tonight. There are important things to talk about right now."

"I went to bed early recently, you have to come back early."

"it is good."

Yaochen hung up the phone.

Their closing remarks are no different from the farewell between ordinary lovers, as if the matter to be discussed is not breaking up, but what to eat together at night.Yaochen didn't think Yueguo was serious, maybe he hoped that he would go home earlier before making trouble.But work matters really need to be busy for a while, and it is just a day or two to calm down while busy, so that both parties can realize the problem.

After all, breaking up is a joke. Yueguo will never survive without him. He doesn’t even know how to walk with prosthetic limbs. Now he can only move around with crutches or a wheelchair. No job will take in such a useless disabled person. How to break up.

Yaochen was thinking that this was Yueguo's anger, but another possibility came to his mind.Could it be that Yue Guo suddenly decided to break up because Lian Shijie was going to take care of Yue Guo?They already have a private relationship, so, is Yueguo ready to rely on that man?Although it has not been verified, this will indeed be something Yue Guo can do.

He pushed open the door irritably and entered the appointed coffee shop.

Walking to the coffee shop and sitting down at the low table, Yaochen didn't seem to intend to stay for a long time, and he didn't even take off his coat.

After waiting for three to ten minutes, the person he was waiting for appeared. At this time, Yaochen took off his coat unconsciously, because the temperature of the indoor air conditioner made him feel hot.

A sweet-looking young woman sat down anxiously. She seemed to be the type who was good at dealing with people, but she showed a panicked expression.

"Sorry, Mr. Jiang, you must have been waiting for a long time."

She found that the cup of coffee on Yaochen's table had been drunk, which meant that he had been here for a long time.

However, she has always been punctual, she has never been late for an appointment with an important client, it seems that Jiang Yaochen arrived earlier than her.Normally, she always thought that Mr. Jiang was very busy and had no spare time to waste waiting for someone here, but today was an exception, which caused her to feel that she was late.

"Mr. Jiang, I have brought the floor plan of the house and the photos of each room, as well as the deposit contract that needs to be signed."

Ruoxun put down the tablet in her hand, she quickly opened it, and placed it in front of Yaochen. The interface was already a floor plan of the house. Yaochen slid back with his index finger, and behind it were all real photos of the house.

"Thank you, now I want to know the purpose of each room." Yao Chen stopped and handed over the power of turning the page to Ruo Xun.

Before she had time to order any drinks, she began to explain.During the period, the waiter brought up a glass of lemonade.

"This one is the master bedroom, which meets your previous requirements. It has floor-to-ceiling windows." Sitting beside Yaochen, Ruo Xun said.

"What's the size of this room?" He looked at the photo of the master bedroom and thought for a while.

Ruoxun immediately flicked through the data sheet in her hand and revealed the data.

The area of ​​the house is just right for a bed of 2m at most, but it will appear very narrow. The current bed of the owner is 1.5m.

"I just wonder if I can change to a bigger bed." Yaochen touched his nose.

"It should be fine..." Ruo Xun smiled, "Mr. Jiang, may I ask, do you want to live with other people?"

If Jiang Yaochen lived alone, he wouldn't have asked for such a big bed.

"Yes, we're going to settle there before we get married," he said fidgeting.

"Wow, it turns out that Mr. Jiang has a fiancée. Bless you all."

"It's not a fiancee, it's a man."

"Sorry, Mr. Jiang, that's your... boyfriend... right..." Ruo Xun squeezed her palms into sweat.

In fact, Jiang Yaochen didn't look like a comrade at all. Before he made his statement just now, Ruoxun would never have imagined that.

"He has limited mobility, so I think the bathroom part can also be modified. Such a small bathtub is really uncomfortable."

Yaochen continued to point to another real picture of the bathroom. The bathtub above seemed to be insufficient for two people. He had also heard that the original owner of this villa lived alone, so many things in the house were for him alone. people design.

"Is it difficult to move?" Ruo Xun suddenly tilted her head.

"He has a disabled leg."

"Hey... what's going on?"

Yaochen didn't want to explain too much, so he avoided answering, Ruoxun also nodded, thinking that she was gossiping too much, it was obviously the other party's private matter, she asked further, if conditions permit, she should find a needle and thread to sew her own Mouth.She always felt that Jiang Yaochen looked a little displeased today. He usually had a gloomy and arrogant temperament, so he would occasionally tremble when talking to him.But today his mood was even worse. From the way he looked at his watch every 10 minutes, Ruoxun concluded that he was anxiously waiting to do the next thing, and she unconsciously raised the tone of the introduction. speed.

Soon, they entered the stage of signing the deposit contract. Yaochen signed and signed the advance deposit check to Ruo Xun.After talking about today's matter, Yaochen also told her the next plan.She will accompany her throughout the trip to London to see houses in two days.

Together they walked to the door of the cafe.

A wheelchair came into Ruo Xun's sight.

The man in the wheelchair looked at her and smiled, as if he understood that she was Yaochen's lawyer.

Then, he showed Yaochen a more ambiguous smile.

"Yaochen."

"Mr. Jiang, is this the one from your family? You really deserve it." Ruo Xun whispered, and as a woman, she even felt a little excited.Because she didn't expect that even in a wheelchair, the other party was so handsome, and she didn't look like a disabled person at all.

"Lawyer Song, go back."

"OK, all right."

Ruo Xun nodded respectfully, turned around and left quickly.

"What do you mean..."

Of course the person in the wheelchair was not Yue Guo, but Ban Nian.

Meeting him at this time, and on the street with people coming and going, Yaochen dared not act rashly.

Pan Nian has resorted to similar tricks.

While studying abroad, Yaochen had not obtained a driver's license in London.It only takes 20 minutes to walk back to his rented apartment from the college library, so he always chooses to walk.

On New Year's Eve in China, they have already started school.Pan Nian suddenly appeared near his apartment, sitting in a wheelchair, and just followed him all the way.

It happened to be winter, and the weather was slightly snowing. Pan Nian came to London from the next city to meet him, hoping to celebrate the New Year together.Pan Nian is not a disability, but to gain one's own favor and interest, and at the same time enjoy the process of acting.But it was beyond Yao Chen's expectation to have achieved such a level, even daring to pretend in public.

Pan Nian understood his personality and knew that he would care about face, so he deliberately embarrassed him.

Yaochen planned to ignore it, but in the end he was stopped by several other foreigners in the academy, who forced him to send Bannian back to the hotel on the grounds that he ignored his disabled boyfriend, or they would call the police.

"You don't need anything, why do you keep asking to be with me?" Yaochen asked him like this.

"I don't need anything except you, because I just fell in love with you."

It is precisely because he lacks nothing but love that Yaochen feels at a loss to get along with this kind of person.

Yaochen has long been tired of role-playing games, what he likes are real disabled people.This has been the case since he was a child, and he discovered the difference between himself and others early on.

He has to be with the disabled and needy to feel at ease.Just like when you get along with your mother.Such a weak, pitiful and melancholy feeling cannot be faked.

At the request of his father, he must associate with the right people.Father is very satisfied with Yaochen's friendship with such friends, the more so, the more disgusted Yaochen becomes.In Yaochen's circle of friends, there are few friends who are worth the same as him, and most of them are just colleagues, subordinates and collaborators.

Whenever Pan Nian used his father as an excuse to ask Yaochen to play the violin again, self-righteously improving their father-son relationship, he felt very disgusted.

Bannian is nothing more than imposing values ​​on oneself, in the name of love, to make self-moving contributions, not sincerity.

There is no sense of presence in Yaochen, and in a blink of an eye, he will devote himself to playing different types of games with other men, wandering in circles that Yaochen has never been in contact with, with ease.

Yaochen breathed out slowly and said:

"Why are you in a wheelchair all of a sudden? This is a public place."

"Because I went drinking yesterday and twisted my ankle."

Ban Nian flicked her hair, "What's the matter, don't you like this?"

Yaochen saw that his feet were not bandaged or unnatural."I wish you a speedy recovery," he said politely.

Pretending or not, he's just doing it like a parody.

"Let's go have dinner together, I still remember the Japanese restaurant you like."

Pan Nian deliberately leaned crookedly on the wheelchair, as if it took a lot of energy to go out.

"No, I have something else to do."

Yaochen looked at him indifferently, even though he was very dissatisfied, he still maintained his due rationality, it was better to appear more indifferent, so as not to cause the other party's misunderstanding.

"I've already heard from the people in the law firm that a big gold came to buy a house suddenly. I didn't expect it to be you."

After a pause of about a few seconds, Yaochen responded: "It is true, but it has nothing to do with you."

Seeing Yaochen turning his head to leave, Pan Nian slid the wheelchair and slowly caught up with him.

"I know you haven't been home for two days. You had a fight with Gao Yueguo, right...and Shirong is going to start a new company, you're going to be the CEO, and you're going to buy a house in London. You don't want to take him with you. So we quarreled with him."

Contrary to Ban Nian's thoughts, it was Yue Guo who rejected him first, and Yao Chen suddenly laughed at himself.

"You're guessing again, guessing whether the relationship between me and Jiang Dewen has improved? My answer today is still no."

Yaochen paused for a step or two. Fortunately, in China, no meddling people appear on the street, so he can ignore the existence of Xiangnian without any scruple.

"Even if it's a wild guess, I have something to tell you today, it's about Gao Yueguo's university days."

This time, Yaochen really stopped.

***

Ban Nian invited Yaochen to go with him to a bar with a classical style. After reaching the door, Ban Nian got off the wheelchair by himself and stacked it at the door.He said that a friend wanted to meet Yaochen.

"I accidentally drank here before and met him."

After sitting down at the bar, Pan Nian introduced.

The man next to the wine cabinet is uncorking a bottle of aged wine, and pouring the red wine into the long-necked bottle with skillful movements.

This man was the senior of their school band in college.Now runs this bar, occasionally as a saxophone player.Yaochen didn't need to observe carefully, he also knew that this bar was almost patronized by gays.

The senior is busy with the business in the store, he just brought the wine first and let the two pour the wine by themselves.

"Why did you come to see him suddenly?"

"Because he knows about Gao Yueguo, I also heard about it by accident."

When I was in college, many people had gossiped about Yue Guo with me, and there were rumors that Yue Guo had emotional disputes with other men.

Yaochen didn't take it to heart, even if it made him slightly suspicious of Yue Guo's pure image, it still didn't affect his judgment, after all, Yue Guo lived with him every day during that time.

After the senior finished his work, he walked over slowly, and started chatting while wiping and disinfecting the wine glasses.

"I heard that you are with Gao Yueguo."

The senior suddenly laughed, as if he heard some ridiculous news.It seems that Pan Nian had already told him about it, and they must have talked a lot in private, so when he saw Yaochen, he cut to the chase and got straight to the point.

"I don't know if you remember Shan Zefeng from our orchestra, and I was a classmate, but he was played around by Gao Yueguo."

Yaochen didn't ask the senior's name, but became curious about the person he was talking about.

"You probably don't remember." The senior suddenly sighed, probably wanting to say that Yaochen was so arrogant back then, how could he remember the senior's name.

"What do you mean by playing around?" Yaochen's expression changed a little.

"Isn't it just playing with feelings, so as an insider, I advise you not to like that guy too much."

Yaochen silently took a sip of his wine.The senior is waiting for his reaction, as long as Yaochen wants to know the details, he will tell everything immediately.There was a gleam of eagerness in his eyes.

"So what's going on?" Ban Nian asked with a smile.

In this way, the topic can continue, they don't care whether Yaochen is willing to listen or not.

"Feng and I have been classmates for four years, and it was the first time I saw him so decadent. After Gao Yueguo made fun of him, he quit the school band and almost gave up music. I heard that he went into business after graduation, but that's not the case. Losing money. I don't know what I'm doing now."

"In that case, Gao Yueguo is really going too far." He asked further, "How did you trick him?"

"I heard that it was Ah Feng who pursued him, sent him home, bought him gifts, and he accepted everything, but suddenly told Ah Feng that he fell in love with someone else, and accepted all the gifts before rejecting him. Isn't that true? Are you obviously playing around?"

"It's so exaggerated, it's too much."

Pan Nian made an exaggerated response in conjunction with his simple description.

"Jiang Yaochen, I heard that when he rejected Ah Feng, he was living with you."

Yaochen was a little shaken in his heart, and for a moment, he retorted subconsciously: "It's not cohabitation, it's just that he was injured a little, so he borrowed my apartment."

No wonder when he was in college, he always felt that Yueguo was hiding something from him.

Yaochen endured the dissatisfaction at the moment.

"Yaochen...he doesn't treat you the same way now, I still remember that he refused to admit his relationship with you last time. It wouldn't be good to accept you, and dump you in the end." Nian took the opportunity to take a sip of wine, as if he was guilty when he said this.

Yaochen looked at the senior who was still wiping the wine bottle, looking very calm: "The person you mentioned just now is called Shan Zefeng?"

The senior took a breath and asked, "Yeah... what's wrong?"

Usually after asking, the other party will definitely ask for contact information.

"Yueguo tricked him, did he tell you so?"

In the past so many years, I still remember it, it seems too gossip, Yaochen will not believe it immediately.

When the senior and Yaochen were deadlocked and unable to answer, Pan Nian suddenly said:

"Yaochen. Didn't you hear about these things when you were in college? There was a lot of rumors at that time. Even if you don't hear things outside the window, you should know who Gao Yueguo is."

"I don't need you to talk about who he is, I need Shan Zefeng's contact information." Yaochen answered him in a steady voice.

Pan Nian froze for a moment, then turned on the phone and pretended to check it.

In fact, after telling the rumors about the Yue Kingdom, the goal has been achieved, but Yaochen did not respond. It stands to reason that he should be disgusted by hypocritical people like Yue Guo. What Yaochen hates the most is hypocrisy. Man, even if I heard that Yueguo used to play with other people's feelings, it is very likely that he is playing with himself now—isn't Yaochen unmoved?

Pan Nian was a little at a loss.

"It seems that you have his contact information, please find it and send it to me."

Yaochen looked at him looking for contacts, it seemed that there were too many contacts, and he couldn't find them all at once, and it would take a few minutes.

"Wait, Yaochen."

Pan Nian suddenly locked the screen, "Of course I have his phone number, I'll tell you after you sit down and finish this glass of wine with me."
