You who walk against the light

"That's true." Lin Yuan hugged Zhong Kaifan tightly, and smelled the faint fragrance on his body, which seemed to be the smell of laundry detergent, and couldn't help but burst into tears, "Kaifan, I haven't told you about my father yet. Well, he died when I was very young. He and my mother used to be classmates. Later, my father went on to graduate school and was assigned to a power station. It may be because of overloaded work. One day when he got off work, he had a sudden myocardial infarction. He was rescued and left very suddenly. I have no memory of him. My mother said that I was less than three years old when my father passed away. In my memory, it is more about my mother. The impression of my father stays in the photo album. Mom said he was a very capable man."

He couldn't help sniffing, "Although my father passed away early, for a long time, my mother and I lived in the compound of my father's unit. When I was seven or eight years old, I loved playing glass marbles. Generous, bought me a lot of glass beads of different colors. I played with the children in the yard. I returned the beads to them, but a boy wanted to snatch my glass beads. He couldn't play with me or beat me, so he called me a child who didn't want a father. He called me, and I called him a mung bean bastard. "

"I'm not sad either, because what he said was not true. Dad didn't want me anymore, but left us by accident. Later, I didn't like to play with them. I still kept the glass beads. After washing them, I put them in gold. In the aquarium, watching the clownfish spitting bubbles in the aquarium, I felt that it was right for those glass beads to accompany them.” Lin Yuan choked up a little, “Because of this life experience, I later became a public figure , when people scold me, complain about me, and write nonsense about me, I feel like I have a bulletproof layer in my heart, since what others say is not true, why should I be sad?"

Zhong Kaifan's eyes became moist uncontrollably, it was a kind of unspeakable distress, his breathing became extremely hot, and his arms around Lin Yuan tightened unconsciously.

Lin Yuan went on to say: "I was very quiet when I was a child, and I didn't like to cry, and I could quickly detect whether the other party liked me. If I felt someone was hostile to me, I would raise my pride, as if it would be okay. Protect yourself. Later, I got to know you. Although I don’t want to admit it, I got a long-lost sense of security from you, because you are a person with goals and plans, unlike me, who live every day , If you have wine today, you will be drunk today."

"I especially like to see how you work hard. From you, I can see that no matter how smart a person is, he must persevere in his efforts. He must be busy doing experiments, reading books, sorting out documents, writing reports, and dealing with piles of exams." The four characters "Rewarding Qin" are engraved in your bones. Practicality, diligence, and persistence are the qualities you have shown to me. You may think that the stage can make people shine, but I don't think so. I dare not say what will happen in the future, but once Every day with you is by far the most shining experience in my life. Because I have gained a kind of inner tenacity, these things can’t be shown to the audience, only I know.” Lin Yuan wiped his tears indiscriminately , Thinking of the two joking in Kunshan before, "Kaifan, you are very strong inside, and you are really a bit like a father."

With tears in his smile, Zhong Kaifan clenched his fist and put it on his nose, and said angrily, "Who the hell wants to be your father? I'm your partner."

The two hugged each other, with indescribable sympathy surging in their hearts, Lin Yuan cleared his throat, "Kaifan, you don't know yet, sometimes I would have a whim, if I hadn't met you, I should have followed the steps like Ordinary people fall in love like ordinary people, and they probably never know that they will fall in love with a man. In social roles, as a man, of course, there are some things that you can’t tell your girlfriend. You can only show your strong side. Over time, you forget that you still need to rely on But with you, I gradually discovered that there are many wounds that can be exposed in front of you. You will not push me away, and you can even rely on it. Your appearance is like a valve, prying open the most fragile and untouchable in my heart. That door you touched."

With a strong nasal voice, Zhong Kaifan said with a smile, "Call me husband!"

"Get out!" The two nestled together, breathless with laughter.

After the subtitles were played, the screen returned to soft white, lighting up the room slightly, and the brief darkness seemed to be specially prepared for those whispers, and the atmosphere was just right.Lin Yuan suppressed his emotions, leaned on the sofa with one hand, and kissed Zhong Kaifan in the dark, all emotions melted between his lips and teeth

Between them, they were extremely gentle with each other.

Lin Yuan opened his eyes slightly, the light fell lightly on Zhong Kaifan's face, there was a cool and fair feeling, as long as he looked at Kaifan, all the depressed emotions in his heart seemed to disappear.

It turns out that love can really heal each other.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Yuan was afraid of delaying Zhong Kaifan's flight, so he got up and said, "Shall we order dinner tonight?"

Zhong Kaifan walked towards the kitchen, "Forget it, just eat something, I'm not very hungry anyway."

After discussing in this way, Lin Yuan made the simplest egg noodles, and the two sat together in silence, the time was extremely quiet.

At around seven o'clock, Zhong Kaifan was ready to leave. He didn't bring much with him this time, not to mention that Xiao Zheng took his suitcase away in advance. He only carried important documents with him, so it was easy to come and go.

"Oh, I forgot to take Shi Yu's signature card." Only then did Lin Yuan remember the cards on the bedroom desk.

Lin Yuan put the card in a paper bag, and when he walked towards the entrance, he heard Zhong Kaifan's cell phone ring.

Zhong Kaifan took it out and took a look. It was a WeChat message from Lu Chen: Did you get any comments on the painting?

Only then did Zhong Kaifan remember the oil paintings that had been handed over to Xiao Zheng before, and he frowned and replied: Not yet.

Seeing his calm expression, Lin Yuan couldn't help leaning forward to take a look.

Zhong Kaifan turned off the screen and rubbed his hair, "I'm leaving."

"It's so mysterious, don't let me see it." Lin Yuan said angrily.

Zhong Kaifan reached out and touched Lin Yuan's neck with a soothing tone: "No matter what happens, please remember what I told you."

Lin Yuan rolled his eyes, "You have said so much, how do I know which sentence it is?"

Zhong Kaifan kissed his forehead, "You will know when the time comes," and finally, he added: "If necessary."

This was said without thinking, and Lin Yuan didn't bother to think about it carefully.

Not long after, the reserved car was already waiting downstairs.

Before leaving, Zhong Kaifan turned around and said, "Take care of yourself, and remember to call me if you have anything to do."

"En." Lin Yuan replied in a muffled voice.

"By the way, return the key to you." Zhong Kaifan spread out his palm.

Lin Yuan said: "You keep it, come whenever you want, although you may not be free."

Zhong Kaifan felt warm in his heart, but he tried his best to restrain his emotions, and said softly, "Okay."

In fact, Lin Yuan really wanted to give Zhong Kaifan a gift, but if he went out like this, he would definitely be photographed secretly again. After thinking about it, he still held back.

At 11:30 in the evening, when Zhong Kaifan came out of the Capital International Airport, Xiao Zheng's car was already waiting not far away.

After Zhong Kaifan took his seat, Xiao Zheng asked, "Is everything going well on the road?"

Zhong Kaifan replied: "It's all very good. I've already talked to him about Lin Yuan's work, and I'm just waiting for his contract to expire, and slowly withdraw from the circle." Speaking of this, Zhong Kaifan remembered the message from Lu Chen in the evening Text message, feeling a little annoyed: "How about Lu Chen's paintings?"

Xiao Zheng didn't seem to react: "Who?"

Zhong Kaifan repeated: "Lu Chen, the one I met at Starbucks before, looks like Lin Yuan."

"Oh," Xiao Zheng just remembered. It may be that there have been a lot of things recently. He hasn't seen that kid for so long. He couldn't remember it all at once. "Teacher Taining called me a few days ago, but he It's very simple, I suggest talking face to face."

Thinking of Lu Chen's unruly character, Zhong Kaifan said with a sullen face, "Who has that leisure time."

Xiao Zheng smiled: "If you're not free, I'll ask Duan Qi to pick it up."

Zhong Kaifan looked at the phone screen, but couldn't help complaining a few words: "I'd better go, hey, I'm in trouble."

"You didn't ask for the trouble?" Xiao Zheng's voice was filled with a smile, like a gentle elder who was very tolerant of Zhong Kaifan's emotions.

Zhong Kaifan kept his head silent. What he thought was a simple matter was nothing more than getting an evaluation from an expert. Why did it seem to have become cumbersome.After a while, he remembered another thing, and gently put the paper bag beside him on the passenger seat: "This is promised to Shiyu."

It is Lin Yuan's autograph.

Xiao Zhengqian smiled kindly: "Thank you!"

Zhong Kaifan spoke softly: "Brother Xiao, you are welcome, I should thank you all."

The interior of the carriage returned to calm, and the light outside the window quickly flashed across Zhong Kaifan's handsome side face. As soon as he returned to Beijing, the burden on his shoulders became heavier.After entering the community, the speed of the car slowed down, and when it stopped, Zhong Kaifan said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiao, I don't need you to pick me up next time, it's too late."

Xiao Zheng loosened his seat belt, turned around, with a smile on his face: "Kaifan, now is a critical period, I hope you can feel at ease, after all, there are not many opportunities to go to Shanghai every time. As long as the time is available, it is still me Come pick you up, and leave the rest to Duan Qi."

A warm feeling surged up in Zhong Kaifan's heart. To elaborate, Xiao Zheng used to work beside his father, and he only came here to help temporarily. Xiao Zheng is full of respect and gratitude.

Aware of his silence, Xiao Zheng said in a relaxed tone: "I won't talk too much, go back and rest early, there are important things to do tomorrow."

"En." Zhong Kaifan responded, got out of the car and leaned out of the car window, and said with concern, "Slow down on the road."

"Okay." Xiao Zheng nodded, and the car window slowly raised.It wasn't until the car body disappeared from sight that Zhong Kaifan walked towards the elevator.

The next day, Zhong Kaifan was very busy. The shareholding competition was an external problem, and it was also a good opportunity to clean up the management.The financial director Xu Ce's violations are well-documented, and Zhong Kaifan has already kicked him out.Zhong Dingheng expressed his acquiescence to this. Of course, his son will handle the errands of offending people, and he is not willing to offend those friends, after all, they have known each other for so many years.

In addition to dealing with external pressure, Zhong Kaifan also needs to further confirm the standardization of financial revenue and expenditure and business activities, and establish strict internal audits to make the company's rules more transparent and open.But this violates the interests of other small and medium shareholders.

In the afternoon, Zhong Kaifan sat in the office and checked the form of tradable shares. During the period, he answered several calls, most of which were the needs of shareholders. He smiled and said a lot of polite words, and his expression was calm when he hung up the phone.

Xiao Zheng came in to deliver the documents, seeing that his expression was not very good, "What's wrong?"

Zhong Kaifan stretched out his hand, "Sit." He said, making a cup of tea for Xiao Zheng, "When is the shareholders' meeting?"

"This Thursday." Xiao Zheng took the tea, thanked him, and said, "The accumulative voting system will be implemented at that time, so we don't have to worry too much about shareholders defecting."

Zhong Kaifan had a headache when he heard this: "Everyone comes to me to ask for fairness, benefits, and appeals. Am I God? I'm really tired. I'll just leave the word here today. These people really want to sit on my side. In this position, I don’t care about other people’s lives. I’m eager to suck blood. I can only protect the interests of most people, and I can’t cover everything. Now I know that it’s time to talk about human care, fairness and justice. Don't you know how to pay attention to eating?"
