A Story of Reunion

28

Mu Chuan sat in front of the table lost in thought for a long time.There is an envelope on the desk, which contains an investigation report made by Shen Han over the years.This is the first time Shen Han has used the Mu family's relationship to find out about him after being away for so long.Jiang Qi's smile made him understand how stupid he was in the past few years.

The envelope was very thin, with only a few sheets of paper, but it was so heavy that Mu Chuan couldn't bear it.The content on the paper is also very simple, and Shen Han's life in the past few years is clear at a glance.

He obviously had a premonition, and he seemed to be mentally prepared, but when the facts were cut open in front of his eyes, it was still so bloody.

In the winter of the third year of high school, the winter when Shen Han disappeared, he once didn't come to class for nearly a week.When Mu Chuan called him, no one answered the phone at first, and then turned off the phone.Mu Chuan also went to his house, but saw that the door was locked.

At that time, his relationship with Shen Han had already been discovered by his family members.His family forced him to break off the relationship with Shen Han and planned to send him abroad. He ran away from home in order to fight.

A week later, Shen Han came back, smiling at himself with a very gray face.After so many years, Mu Chuan knew what Shen Han did that week.

But what did you do at that time?At that time, his card was blocked by his family, and he ran out of cash. He was used to the life of a young master, and he had never suffered such grievances.With a very violent temper, he lost his temper at Shen Han, and vented all his worries about not being able to find anyone this week and his almost desperate embarrassment on Shen Han, and then left without looking back.

He didn't hear a word from Shen Han.

"Hi, my name is Shen Han."

"My mother said her surname was Shen, and my father's surname was Han, so my name is Shen Han."

"I haven't seen my dad."

"My mother loves me very much."

"I love my mother too."

Mu Chuan held his head in both hands, a big hole was torn open in his heart, the pain made it hard to breathe.Obviously he was the person I should cherish the most, but I failed to hug him when he needed company most.

A suppressed sob came from the quiet room.

Mu Chuan hadn't appeared for a long time, and there didn't seem to be anything abnormal about it.After all, he manages such a big company, and there are so many employees under him who depend on him to support him.He is still so young, who wouldn't boast that he is young and promising?

He has always been so good.

Shen Han's life trajectory seems to be the same, both at home and in the store.It was very plain, but Shen Han didn't think there was anything wrong.Like many people, he once had great ambitions, and later felt that there was nothing wrong with living such a mediocre and peaceful life.

After all, he couldn't hear.

It's like there's a good excuse for whether he's content to be mediocre or depraved.When he discovered this fact when he woke up in the hospital, he had a better feeling like this.From now on, the world will be clean, and all the voices that I don't want to hear will be isolated.It seems that I am the only one left in the world, but it doesn't matter, that's how it is.

Jiang Qi is a good person.He saved himself and treated himself well without asking for anything in return. He also forced himself to learn lip language and opened a dessert shop for himself, hoping that he could live a good life like a normal person.

Living well was the only request Jiang Qi made for him.Shen Han is also working hard to live like an ordinary person, except for refusing ear treatment.Although there are risks, the doctor said that the probability of success of the operation is very high.Jiang Qi was very happy, but he refused.

Isolate the sound of the whole world and curl myself up in a corner of one person.If he hadn't met Mu Chuan again, Shen Han felt that there was nothing wrong with living like this all the time.But if there is no if, longing and fear surged, and finally fear overwhelmed longing and raged in my heart.Fearful that Mu Chuan found out that he is now a deaf disabled person, fearful of facing everything that Mu Chuan brought about in the past.

He's a coward who hides himself in a shell of indifference.

Mu Chuan began to deliver food and soup to Shen Han at noon every day, and every day was different, the only thing in common was probably very nourishing.Every time he came in and left, he never gave Shen Han a chance to refuse.Shen Han looked at more and more insulated lunch boxes in his home, wondering if he didn't have to work.

Some people in the store gradually began to speculate about the relationship between the two, and some shop assistants recognized Mu Chuan's identity, and looked at Shen Han with a different look.But Shen Han was not affected at all, he just didn't understand what Mu Chuan wanted to do.

If Jiang Qi met him when he was in the store, he would just smile mockingly, and Mu Chuan would pretend he didn't see it.The scene of jealousy and fighting that the shop assistants expected did not appear.

Chen Yi finally succeeded in blocking people in Mu Chuan's office. Holding a document in his hand, he looked at Mu Chuan behind the computer with great interest.Mu Chuan ignored him and just looked at the document by himself.

Chen Yi glanced at the insulated lunch box on the table, and joked, "Are you planning to change your career and wash your hands to make soup?"

Mu Chuan said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

As soon as Chen Yi put the documents on the table, Mu Chuan's cell phone rang before he could say anything.Mu Chuan, on the other hand, was like a robot that had received an order, neatly packing up the few documents at hand.

"What do you need to talk to the vice president." After speaking, Mu Chuan left with his lunch box.

Chen Yi rubbed his chin and looked at his back, and said to the secretary next to him, "Is he planning not to go to court early from now on?"

The secretary had a stiff face. To be honest, she was also very worried about losing her job.

The dessert shop welcomed a special guest today.

Shen Han holds a cup of milk tea and looks at the busy traffic outside the window.Mu's mother sat across from him and looked at him. The youthful greenness had faded from her familiar eyebrows.Different from the at a loss when we met back then, now he is careless and doesn't care about anything.

Mu's mother smiled very gently, and said, "How has Xiao Shen been all these years?"

Shen Han drank wine and milk tea and didn't speak.

Mother Mu's smile remained unchanged, and she said, "I heard that Ah Chuan often comes to deliver meals to you recently, right?"

Shen Han put down the milk tea, looked at Mu's mother and said, "You, what do you want to say?"

Mu's mother sighed and said: "Xiao Shen, I actually don't want to do this. I told you these words back then. I am a mother, so I have to come to you again today. I also understand your current situation. Ah Chuan, he is..."

An insulated lunch box was placed heavily on the table, and Mu's mother let out a cry of shock.

"Ah, Chuan..."

Mu Chuan's face was ashen, but Shen Han looked like he had nothing to do with him.Jiang Qi leaned on the back of Shen Han's chair, smiled casually, and said, "Auntie, you should tell your son these words, after all, your son is pestering our little Han now."

Mu's mother smiled reluctantly and said, "A Chuan, mom just wants to talk to Xiao Han..."

"Talk about how you left me, just like back then?" Mu Chuan smiled and said, "Jiang Qi is right, you should have told me these things."

Mu's mother was shocked and terrified by his laughter, Mu Chuan suddenly pulled Shen Han who had been silent all this time, and left.

"Achuan..."

Mu Chuan walked a little fast, Shen Han was pulled by him, and it was a little difficult to follow behind.

"Wait, wait a minute."

Only then did Mu Chuan calm down and stop.Shen Han gasped for breath, and Mu Chuan patted him on the back lightly, with a hint of annoyance flashing across his expression.

"sorry."

Shen Han saw his lips move.

Mu Chuan held his thin shoulders, and the emotions that had accumulated in his heart tore open, gushing out all of a sudden and submerging his whole heart.Mu Chuan repeated again and again, this is many years late explanation and apology.

Shen Han lowered his eyelids, hiding all his emotions.

Shen Han opened his mouth, and it was a little difficult to speak, but he tried every word with force.He said: "You didn't, you did something wrong, you don't need to apologize. Your mother, there is nothing wrong, all of you, all of you, there is nothing wrong."

Mu Chuan was suddenly afraid of hearing him continue.

"Let me tell you, breaking up has nothing to do with your mother. I think we are not suitable to be together. Mu Muchuan, I should say, I'm sorry."

"Shen Han, I..."

Shen Han smiled at Mu Chuan, telling the other party and telling himself, he said: "The past, let it pass."

Mu Chuan was stunned.It's all over, isn't it?So what are the unwillingness and persistence of the past few years?He worked so hard to come back from abroad, and finally met again, but he only got one sentence, is it all over?

Yes, it's all over.Isn't Jiang Qi just another start for him?

"But, Shen Han, I love you."

The soft murmur dissipated in the cold winter wind, but the man didn't turn his head, and couldn't see the gloom scattered all over the ground behind him.

Shen Han cleaned up the pile of lunch boxes, put them in a box, packed them, and then delivered them back to Mu Chuan's company.Since then, Mu Chuan never came to deliver meals, but only occasionally came back to the store to pack a dessert, just like an ordinary customer.

Jiang Qi squatted in the store for a while, and couldn't see anything about the relationship between the two of them, and couldn't ask anything, so he simply gave up gossiping, and the frequency of coming to the store became the same as before.

It's as if nothing happened.

Mu Chuan squeezed the space between his eyebrows, and beside him was Shen Han's medical records that he asked for from Jiang Qi.During this period of time, he went to many hospitals and visited many doctors, and the reply he got was undoubtedly not: the disease has been delayed for too long, and the possibility of cure is very small.This is already the most ideal result.Some doctors pointed out that Shen Han's situation may also be accompanied by complications.

Mu Chuan thought of the day at the crossroads.

Jiang Qi vaccinated him from the very beginning, telling him not to have too much hope.

Mu Chuan leaned back in his chair and smiled wearily.When he is overly disappointed, he can't help but blame Jiang Qi, rationally telling himself that Jiang Qi has done enough for Shen Han, but he can't control his emotions.

However, more self-blame.

The driver took a peek at the employer who seemed unhappy in the back seat. As soon as he got in the car, he leaned against the seat and closed his eyes without saying a word. He asked softly, "Mr. Mu, should you go home or go back to the company?"

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening.Recently, a new project is about to go public, and Mu Chuan has been working overtime for several days in a row. Last night, he stayed directly at the company and did not go home.After today's press conference, I received news again and went to see the doctor non-stop, but I was still disappointed.

All the cells in the body are clamoring for a rest, Mu Chuan said, "Go back to the company."

When Mu Chuan opened the door and came in, there were no other customers in the store, and several shop assistants were cleaning. The nearest shop assistant said, "Excuse me, sir, we are closed."

Mu Chuan nodded, looked around but did not see Shen Han, and asked, "Where is Shen Han, has he left?"

The clerk knew who Mu Chuan was, and also knew that the relationship between him and Shen Han was unusual, so he went to the back kitchen to call someone.

When Shen Han came out, there was only Mu Chuan left in the shop.He seemed to have fallen asleep sitting in the position Shen Han often used.

Mu Chuan closed his eyes and said, "I want to eat the dessert you made."

Shen Han's eyes fell on Wu Qing under his eyes, and he put the dessert on his hand in front of him.

Mu Chuan opened his eyes and smiled at Shen Han.

Shen Han sat down opposite him and looked out the window.

Mu Chuan ate the dessert spoon by spoon, looked at Shen Han, and suddenly said, "We used to do this too."

After Shen Han found out, especially after the two of them were together, Mu Chuan blatantly stuffed his schoolbag with all kinds of sweets.The students in the class were stunned when they found out that their cold monitor was eating sweet and greasy snacks.Regardless of whether Mu Chuan didn't care at all, the person he cared about already knew about it.At noon, I even asked my family to deliver desserts such as cakes.

Shen Han doesn't like sweets.At that time, Mu Chuan was eating dessert. Shen Han sat next to him and watched the classmates playing outside the corridor. Occasionally, he would come up to him and pester Mu Chuan to feed him. After eating, he frowned in disgust.

Many years later, Mu Chuan ate the desserts made by Shen Han himself, but the young man who always came to him back then was still looking out the window and didn't see what he said.

Mu Chuan finished his dessert, stood up and patted Shen Han on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you home."

Near night, pedestrians and vehicles on the road are in twos and threes.Most of the lights in the store were turned off. Under the dim light, he smiled at Shen Han, his eyes were full of exhaustion, and Shen Han thought of the young man with a childish but rebellious face that year.

Shen Han had heard Jiang Qi mention that the other party was going to leave his medical records, and suddenly his heart throbbed a little.He opened his mouth, and when he was about to say something, he felt dizzy. Mu Chuan rushed towards him calling his name.

When Shen Han woke up, his vision was pitch black, and he thought in a daze that he had committed an old problem again.Then the next moment he felt the temperature from behind and the pain that seemed to be crushed all over his body. He remembered the dizziness before fainting, and Mu Chuan who rushed over.

The warm liquid kept dripping onto his face one drop after another, Shen Han said with difficulty: "Mu, Mu Chuan."

There was no response, and the whole world was silent.After a moment of dullness in his mind, Shen Han remembered that he had long been deaf to this matter.

Time passed bit by bit, Shen Han was pinned down and unable to move, and the person on his back hadn't moved since he woke up.Perhaps he had answered his call, but he could not hear it.

Having been deaf for so many years, Shen Han always felt that there was nothing wrong with it.But at this moment, he regretted it immensely. Why was he so self-willed and refused to listen to any advice at the beginning, so he insisted on going his own way so that he was alone and helpless today. He couldn't even simply confirm the situation of the people around him without calling for help?

Despair spread in the darkness. That winter, when he was bruised and abandoned on the street, he was not as desperate as he is now.Tears rushed out and couldn't stop.

"Mu, Mu Chuan..."
