Till death let us meet

The Chinese restaurant served food very quickly, and after a while, all the dishes Shen Feng ordered came out.The dishes were placed neatly on the table, steaming and fragrant.

"How did that younger brother die?" Shen Feng saw that the face of the woman on the opposite side turned pale, and he couldn't help feeling that there was something behind the so-called younger brother's death.

The woman nervously clenched her hands into fists and crossed them again, rubbing the back of her hands as if she was at a loss.

"...was drowned." She lowered her head slightly, keeping her eyes away from Shen Feng.

"Drowning?" Shen Feng repeated the woman's words and read a few words.Unexpectedly, he once had a half-brother who died without meeting him.

"Because he didn't take good care of him, so he ran to the artificial river in the community, fell into it, and was found the next day." The woman straightened her thoughts and began to speak smoothly. After finishing speaking, her lips were tightly pursed. , The corners of his mouth kept twitching.

"That's Mr. Zhang's son?" Shen Feng knew that Zhang Yang's mother was married to that Mr. Zhang, so they had a dead son before.

"No, that's another person, another person before he married Mr. Zhang." The woman's words surprised Shen Feng, there was actually another person.

"What kind of person is that?" Shen Feng asked in surprise.

"I can't remember clearly." The woman was obviously unwilling to answer, she frowned, and kept stirring the chopsticks and plates.

"How did Zhang Yang's mother marry Mr. Zhang?"

"Originally they didn't want to get married, but my sister was pregnant. So the brother-in-law must give the child a complete family."

Shen Feng recalled that Mr. Zhang's protective attitude towards his cheap mother, it seemed that he was eaten to death, and the woman who married three times was really quite powerful.Anyway, Shen Feng felt that the woman was not as gentle and innocent as she appeared on the surface.

He was about to say something, but only heard a grunt, quite loud, coming from his stomach.

The woman opposite showed a kind smile.

"You are hungry, hurry up and eat."

It happened that at noon, Shen Feng vomited up everything, so he was really hungry.Fortunately, he also ordered lighter dishes at night, so he ate a full meal.

On the contrary, the woman ate very little. She looked at Shen Feng eating deliciously, her eyes really looked like a mother, more like that than Chen Feng's so-called real mother.

When Shen Feng was full, there was not much food left.

"Sorry, I've finished eating, let's order some more dishes." Shen Feng couldn't help feeling a little impolite, and wanted to ask the waiter to come over and order more dishes.

The woman waved her hand to stop him, she said slowly, "I have a small appetite, and I've eaten almost enough, and seeing you eat so deliciously, I also feel very happy."

She really looked very happy, that kind of gaze made Shen Feng feel a little uncomfortable.He wiped his mouth with a tissue, and wanted to ask Zhang Yang how he had been in the past few years since he left her house.

At this time, the woman opposite said that she wanted to go to the bathroom.

Shen Feng took out his mobile phone, played for a while, and then dialed Qiao Yu.Qiao Yu didn't answer, Shen Feng hung up disappointed.I don't know why he suddenly wanted to see Qiao Yu, wanted to hear his voice, wanted to see his face.

The woman came back after a while, and Shen Feng still wanted to chat with her, but the woman said that her daughter was coming back for evening study, so she had to go back and make supper for her.

"After Yangyang came, I became pregnant. I feel that Yangyang brought me good luck." The woman said with a smile, her face wrinkled like an orange that had been put for a long time.

When Shen Feng went to the cash register to pay the bill, the cashier told him that there was already a lady at that table to pay the bill.

The woman stood at the door waiting for Shen Feng, smiling slightly, she was only as tall as Shen Feng's shoulders, her black woolen coat made her body bloated, but she looked very friendly.

This is probably what my mother looks like in my imagination. Shen Feng recalled that when he was a child, he didn't have a mother, and when he was ridiculed by other friends, he often imagined that he had a mother.

Not as weak and beautiful as Zhang Yang's mother, but as kind and gentle as Aunt Fang, exuding a family atmosphere.

"Next time we will have dinner together, call me when you are free." Auntie Fang stretched out her hand, probably wanting to pat Shen Feng on the shoulder, but retracted it again.

"Okay." Shen Feng couldn't help but agree without thinking.

In the dark sky, the neon lights and street lights outlined the bright colors of the night. When he parted from Aunt Fang, Shen Feng asked the last question.

"How old was that younger brother when he drowned?"

"...Three years old." Aunt Fang staggered and gave the answer.

Three years old, it's really pitiful.

At this time, Shen Feng's cell phone rang, and the soft and brisk chord music sound was specially set for Qiao Yu, so that he could tell when Qiao Yu called.

"Sorry, I couldn't get a call in the lab just now..." Qiao Yu apologized as soon as he came up, but Shen Feng was worried about him.

"It's so late, and you're still in the lab? Have you had dinner yet?"

"After eating, the student ordered takeaway and ordered one for me. Why did you call, what's the matter?"

"It's okay, can I call you..."

"That's not what I meant..." Qiao Yu's voice was soft and seemed a little confused.

"I miss you, I want to hear your voice, I want to see you."

"I also... miss you." Qiao Yu said in a low voice, "We can video."

"Video?" Shen Feng just got into the car, started the car, the car shook and made a roar, "When I go back, I'm in the car, and I'll be at the office in about a quarter of an hour."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Shen Feng wanted to wait until Qiao Yu on the other side hung up before hanging up, but who knew there was no hang-up sound from the other side.

"Qiao Yu?" He called tentatively.

"Hmm?" was his response.

"Why don't you hang up?"

"Why didn't you hang up?" Qiao Yu asked rhetorically.

"You hang up first."

"You first." Qiao Yu said coquettishly.

Shen Feng had no choice but to hang up first, a helpless and sweet smile overflowed from the corner of his lips.This feeling is really wonderful and beautiful, the feeling of being cared for, separated from the gray life before, like opening the door to a new world.

Even in the dark night, there are guiding lights to illuminate the way forward.

When he returned to the office, he found that the lights were still on.Did anyone else leave? Shen Feng felt a little strange, because the recent business was not particularly busy.So several people can finish it in half a day, and there is no need to work overtime.

Shen Feng pushed open the door on the side, but it was not locked. He went in and found that the person sitting at the desk blankly and not leaving was Xiao Guan.

Xiao Guan looked up at Shen Feng, showing a pale smile.He stood up with a hunched waist, looking even thinner under the cold light.

"Brother Shen, you're back..."

"What's the matter, Xiaoguan, you haven't returned so late?"

"Brother Shen, I, I... want to resign."

Xiao Guan's lips fluttered and he raised his head to look at Shen Feng, his eyes filled with distress and helplessness.
