A Story of Reunion

一

Mu Chuan dreamed again that afternoon, when Shen Han made several phone calls, but he deliberately didn't answer them.When the phone was finally connected, before he asked what he was doing angrily, Shen Han asked if he was happy with him this year?

In fact, he was very happy, but he said angrily: "I'm almost annoyed to death by you, happy ass!"

Mu Chuan heard Shen Han laugh, and said cheerfully: "But I feel very happy."

Before the corner of his mouth curled up, Mu Chuan heard Shen Han say again: "Mu Chuan, let's break up."

Mu Chuan was taken aback, and then hung up the phone. Since then, the number has never been called, until a different girl answered the phone.

There is a dessert shop on the first floor opposite Mu Chuan's company, and the business is very good.The female employees in the company like the desserts in this shop very much, and they often discuss the tall and handsome little brother with a good smile in the company.

The first time Mu Chuan went in was to coax his three-year-old niece at home, and the first time he went in, he saw the good-looking little brother they were talking about.He was really good-looking, with a handsome face, wearing a white uniform, and the cream was blooming in his hands, but Mu Chuan didn't see him smiling.He's so focused on his dessert that he needs a pat on the shoulder or a wave in front of his eyes.

He didn't see Mu Chuan.

Mu Chuan stood there until a clerk felt strange and came forward to ask if he needed help.

Mu Chuan opened his mouth, pointed at his dessert, and said he wanted that.

The clerk said, ok, wait a minute.

Mu Chuan watched the clerk walk up to him, patted him on the shoulder, and waited for him to raise his head before saying that a customer ordered this dessert.

He nodded, quickened his hands to complete the last few steps, then took off his gloves and went into the back kitchen, as if he didn't care at all who bought the work he had put so much effort into.

The little niece did not receive this gift in the end.Sitting in the big dark house, Mu Chuan finished the dessert silently.

Shen Han changed into a loose T-shirt, folded the uniform and put it in the cabinet, plugged the earphones in both ears, and then went out through the back door with his bag on his back.

He can be regarded as a pastry chef who has become a monk halfway through his career. The food he makes tastes good but not top-notch, but it may be because his face has always been a best seller.There are often three or five girls around to watch him make sweethearts, take pictures or record videos with their mobile phones.If he looked up and smiled, they would cover their mouths and exclaim how handsome and good-looking.

But he doesn't like to laugh, or he doesn't like to laugh in recent years.

Carrying a small piece of cake, Shen Han walked through several bustling streets and then through several dark alleys.The surrounding areas are all rented houses, and there are small vendors downstairs, which is a bit noisy and messy.

Shen Han first went to a familiar stall and ordered fried rice with eggs.The boss was talking to Shen Han while flying the spatula in his hand: "Xiao Shen hasn't come for a few days, are you busy at work?"

Shen Han looked at the sweaty face of the boss, gave a faint "hmm", then put the cake he had been carrying on the table, and said, "It's for Niuniu."

His voice was a little strange, a little hoarse, as if his throat was uncomfortable after eating something that got angry, and it seemed that he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his throat was tight.

The boss glanced at the house behind him and shouted: "Niu Niu, brother Xiao Shen brought you a cake again." Then he saw a seven or eight-year-old girl in a small skirt running out and hugged her. Shen Han's leg, said sweetly: "Thank you little brother Shen."

Facing the child, Shen Han finally had some expression on his face.He knelt down, looked at the little girl, and said, "You're welcome."

The boss poured the fried rice into the lunch box and said, "It's not easy for you to go to work and earn money, so don't keep buying things for her. This stuff seems expensive, doesn't it?"

Shen Han pinched Niuniu's face, as if he didn't hear the boss talking.The boss didn't care either, Niuniu pointed to the table, and Shen Han turned around to see the packed meal.

After saying goodbye to Niu Niu and insisting on paying, Shen Han went upstairs slowly.The lights in the corridors are very dim, and the lights on some floors are not on at all.Shen Han took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, and returned to his den by illuminating the mottled walls covered with small advertisements.

He took off the earphones and threw them aside casually. In this small rental house that can be seen at a glance, Shen Han sat alone at the table and finished his meal in silence.

After that day, Mu Chuan often skipped work without any pressure relying on himself as the boss, drove his car and parked in front of the dessert shop, and secretly looked at Shen Han through the window.Mu Chuan never saw him smile, and every time he came, he had no expression on his face, as if he was not close to strangers.

He wasn't like this before.Mu Chuan thought, this is not the Shen Han he knew.

When he was in high school, Mu Chuan had a very bad temper and often had a straight face.Shen Han always surrounded him with a smile, trying to make him happy.In fact, many times he was happy in his heart, but he kept holding back and didn't show it.

At that time, Shen Han was really pretty when he smiled, like a little sun, Mu Chuan still remembers it clearly.

In the store, Shen Han made another dessert and handed it to other people to pack, and suddenly raised his head and looked straight at this side.At that moment, Mu Chuan felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his mouth, and his mind was full of "Did he see me? Did he see me?"But Shen Han seemed to scan the outside of the store casually, then lowered his head as if nothing had happened and continued making desserts.

Mu Chuan lay on the steering wheel, not knowing whether he should be relieved or disappointed.

Shen Han saw Mu Chuan for the first time in one afternoon.

It was a fine day and the sun was shining brightly.As the noon rush hour passed, the shop finally became less busy.Shen Han took advantage of his break to go to the Internet celebrity milk tea shop next door to buy milk tea. When he bit his straw and looked back, Shen Han saw two people in suits and leather shoes walking out of the office building on the opposite street.

The man with a sly smile on his face put one hand on the shoulder of another man with a serious expression, leaned closer and said something, the man with a serious expression punched the man's chest and smiled.

Shen Han took a big sip of milk tea, the taste was so sweet that it was a bit greasy.

There was always someone to make him laugh.Seeing them getting into the car in a row, Shen Han also walked into the shop.

Mu Chuan doesn't like to laugh.Shen Han remembered that during the two years since they met each other and broke up, they had hardly seen Mu Chuanxiao.At that time, I would still be complacent because I succeeded in making him laugh.

Shen Han pushed open the door and threw the less than half drunk milk tea into the trash can.

I don't know what their relationship is, but it looks like he is very happy and at ease staying with each other.

It's a good match, Shen Han thought.

六

Shen Han actually doesn't like desserts and sweet milk tea at all.At first it was because Mu Chuan liked it, but later he got used to it.

Mu Chuan in high school is cold and cool, tall and handsome, and his family background is good. Shen Han often teases him as the Prince Charming in novels, the dream lover of girls.At that time, it was true that many girls liked Mu Chuan, but due to his ugly face, few girls had the courage to confess.But at that time, a girl in the next class suddenly went after Mu Chuan for some reason.Mu Chuan had a dark face and said harsh words, but the girl didn't seem to care at all.Mu Chuan was so disturbed that even Shen Han, who was sitting next to him, felt very uncomfortable.

Shen Han doesn't like girls very much, he has always treated others with a smile, but he has never given a girl a good look.Shen Han explained to the outside world that it was because the girls always came to Mu Chuan's seat and said something, which seriously affected him.But after a long time, Shen Han gradually realized that his emotions were very wrong.Obviously easy to talk to everyone, but really has a bad temper with girls.

The breaking point was that the girl came to Mu Chuan's seat again that day, holding a math exercise book to ask questions, but she somehow brought down the bookshelf on Shen Han's desk, and dropped many things on the desk, including Shen Han's cup.The cup was broken and the book was wet.

Shen Han became anxious on the spot, bursting out with the anger accumulated over the past few days.Everyone in the class was frightened, and it was the first time for everyone to see Shen Han get angry, so angry.The girl cried and said she didn't mean it.Mu Chuan even said something, she made a mistake unintentionally, why did you get so angry?

Shen Han turned to look at him, Mu Chuan frowned impatiently.Shen Han felt that he was about to burst out of anger, and kicked the chair out of the classroom.

Mu Chuan's face turned darker, but he still got up to pick up Shen Han's books, put the good ones back on the shelf, and took the wet ones to the corridor to dry.

The girl followed him, still crying, and thanked Mu Chuan for speaking for her just now.

"You are really annoying, do you know?" Mu Chuan turned his head abruptly, his expression and words seemed to be on the verge of an explosion. "Are you out of your mind, can't understand people's words? I said that I don't like you, and I won't like you. Don't always appear in front of me like a fly, buzzing and annoying."

The girl was stunned, with tears still hanging from the corners of her eyes.

Mu Chuan left without looking back.

The girl stood where she was, receiving the scrutiny from her classmates.

Shen Han skipped a class, and Mu Chuan used his status as monitor to confuse the teacher.

Mu Chuan looked at the dried books on Shen Han's desk, his brows furrowed like a knot.

Shen Han hid on the roof of the teaching building, and spent a whole class without figuring out what happened to him.

The class bell rang.Shen Han thought it was better to go back to class first, after all, there were too many skipping classes and parents had to be invited.Then the door on the top floor was opened unexpectedly, and Shen Han and the visitor met each other's eyes.

Mu Chuan still had a stinky face, and Shen Han also "hummed" and sat back down again.

Mu Chuan sat down beside him and said, "Why don't you come back to class?"

Shen Han didn't speak, thinking that I'm still angry.

"say!"

Shen Han suddenly became angry again, and said, "What are you doing when you go back? Let's see how you protect her?"

Mu Chuan said in a deep voice, "I didn't!"

"You have! You have! You blamed me for not apologizing because she wet my book! It's really annoying that she keeps pestering you. Think about how long you haven't given me a lecture. Has it?..." Shen Hanyue said more and more aggrieved, his nose was still a little sore, "You are still fierce to me!"

Seeing Shen Han like this for the first time, Mu Chuan panicked and said, "I don't, you know that's how I talk."

As soon as he showed weakness, Shen Han felt even more wronged.

Mu Chuan suddenly took out a candy from his school uniform pocket and handed it to Shen Han.

Shen Han was a little overwhelmed.

Mu Chuan seemed a little embarrassed, his face was a little red, his eyes were a little dodgy, and he said, "Please eat candy, don't be angry."

It was at this moment that Shen Han suddenly understood his heart.For many years later, Shen Han still remembered this scene.This was the only time Shen Han got into trouble with Mu Chuan, and it was also the first and only time Mu Chuan coaxed him, although it was lame.

Seven

Mu Chuan has been a little irritable recently. He hasn't seen Shen Han in the dessert shop for several days.

After many years, he didn't know Shen Han's contact information, where he lived, or who he knew.Mu Chuan wanted to go in and ask those clerks several times, just like he wanted to ask Shen Han face to face several times before, why he broke up back then, and why he disappeared suddenly, but he held back in the end.

Compared with high school, Mu Chuan feels that his temper is really much better now.

Mu Chuan looked at the store, and there was still no expected figure, but he opened the car door and walked in.

Today is his birthday.He rejected the invitation of his friends, and also declined the family on the grounds of work, and then drove here, but he didn't see the person he wanted to see.

Mu Chuan bought a cake, which was exactly the same as the one he bought the day he first met Shen Han in this place.

Mu Chuan was still alone, and he moved out alone after high school.The house is big and quiet.Mu Chuan sat at the table without putting candles or making a wish. He took a bite of the cake and felt that it was not as delicious as the one that day.

The cell phone rang, it was the home phone.Some old female voices carefully asked him if he would go home for dinner.

Mu Chuan said that I was at home and would not return.

The other side sighed, and said sadly: "Are you still blaming us? Are you still unable to let go? A Chuan, we are all for your own good! After so many years, if he wanted to come back to you, he should have... ..."

"If there's nothing else, then so be it." Mu Chuan interrupted the other party and hung up the phone.

Throwing the phone aside, Mu Chuan took another bite of the cake, feeling a little bitter.As soon as he looked up, he saw the young Shen Han in the photo frame smiling at him, with his arm on his shoulder with a stinky face.

That was the only group photo of them, and Shen Han forced himself to take it.

Mu Chuan felt very irritable, and swept the cake to the ground with a wave of his hand.

Looking at the unrecognizable cake that fell on the ground, Mu Chuan thought, he is still the same himself, with a temper that no one can bear.
