Through Thick and Thin

It has been said that people can speak the truth only after drinking, and now it seems that this is indeed true.

It has been more than ten years, everyone has their own scenery, and naturally each has its own difficulties. They all have their own lives to live, and they swallow it by themselves whether they are bitter or tired.

This circle and this industry are so cruel and ruthless. When it is high, it can fly to the clouds, and when it is low, it will fall to the bottom. Since you have decided to earn this kind of high-risk benefits that ordinary people cannot bear, you can’t cry in the end. Poor man, of course you have to be prepared for the worst, who really wants to listen to him crying and voicing bitterness here?

Moreover, who can't tell that Guo Chongren's words are satirizing Xiao Zhan inside and out?

Guo Chongren was so drunk that he lost his temper, crying and cursing, beating the table and tearing the tablecloth.Xiao Zhan sat not far from him, with a half-drunk wine glass in front of him. Guo Chongren pulled the tablecloth like this, and the wine glass accidentally fell down, and the wine in it spilled all over Xiao Zhan.

Several classmates rushed to pull Guo Chongren away, but he struggled desperately to break free, and the whole private room was suddenly noisy and chaotic.

The old squad leader sitting on the side was full of embarrassment. He quickly picked up a tissue and handed it to Xiao Zhan, apologizing: "Xiao Zhan, wipe it off quickly. I'm so sorry, Lao Guo... He really drank too much, what he said Don't take those words to heart."

Xiao Zhan sighed slowly, and briefly wiped the wine stains on his shirt. Although he didn't directly express his dissatisfaction with Guo Chongren's appearance, he obviously didn't have the mood to stay any longer.

The things packed for Xiaoqing haven’t arrived yet, so Xiao Zhan can only wait here, but he really doesn’t like wearing dirty clothes, especially dirty suits and shirts, and usually changes them as soon as they get dirty.What's more, because he often attends some business occasions, he can't tolerate these small mistakes, and he always keeps spare clothes in the car.

Xiao Zhan immediately sent a message to Uncle Wang, telling him his private room number and asking him to bring him a clean dress.

Uncle Wang who received the news was already on his way home as Lu Chuiqing said, so he had to call Lu Chuiqing temporarily to tell him about it.

Lu Chuiqing had already arrived at the downstairs of the restaurant where Xiao Zhan had a party. After receiving a call from Uncle Wang, she thought that Xiao Zhan's suit cleanliness had committed another crime.

Lu Chuiqing knew that Xiao Zhan had the habit of keeping spare clothes in the car, but he didn't know if there were any in this seldom-driven car.He opened the trunk of the car, and as expected, he found a shirt packed in a plastic bag in a cardboard box in a corner.

There was already some dust on the plastic bag, but fortunately the clothes inside were clean.Lu Chuiqing put on her clothes, locked the car door, and walked straight into the restaurant.

Before arriving at the private room of Xiao Zhan's party, Lu Chuiqing stopped in the corridor, and arranged her clothes by the mirror wall decorated in the corridor.

Those with Xiao Zhan are all his old classmates, not for business occasions, Lu Chuiqing doesn't need to dress too formally, but more casually.

At that moment, Lu Chuiqing suddenly remembered a long time ago.

He still remembers that he used to accept Chen Yuan as he is now, but at that time he was too inferior, so inferior that he couldn't hold his head upright in front of Chen Yuan's colleagues and friends, and he couldn't even hold his head upright in front of Chen Yuan's colleagues and friends. As his wife, she couldn't even approach her to talk to her.

At this moment, it was almost the same occasion, and his clothes were not much different from that time, but his state of mind was indeed completely different.

Lu Chuiqing came to the door of the private room, knocked on the door of the private room, and pushed the door open after hearing "Please come in".

Xiao Zhan thought it was Uncle Wang who brought him clothes, turned his head and saw Lu Chuiqing walking in unexpectedly, raised his eyebrows in surprise, stretched out his hand to Lu Chuiqing, and held him: "Xiaoqing? What's wrong with you?" Here? Where's Uncle Wang?"

Everyone at the dining table saw that the original indifference on Xiao Zhan's face was swept away the moment this person came, and then they looked at him carefully.

"I have nothing to do at home, so I wanted to pick you up. I asked Uncle Wang to go back first." Lu Chuiqing naturally put her hand into Xiao Zhan's, and then turned to the other people at the table, smiling and saying hello, " Sorry to bother you, I am Xiao Zhan's boyfriend, and I am here to help Xiao Zhan deliver some clothes."

Lu Chuiqing looks very young, handsome and cute. Although he is dressed casually, it is partly because his voice and smile are clear, which cannot conceal his confidence and generosity at all, and will not make people feel casual. In his life, he must be a Cheerful and optimistic person.

There is no doubt that this is the person Xiao Zhan said he loves and loves within 10 minutes.

Seeing this, the squad leader hurriedly greeted him: "It's okay, it's okay, you sit down and don't disturb."

Lu Chuiqing thanked him, and handed the clothes to Xiao Zhan, only then did he see that Xiao Zhan's shirt was wet around the abdomen, as if he had accidentally spilled wine.

The noise from the other side of the dining table caught Lu Chuiqing's attention. There was a person who seemed to be drunk and making a fuss, surrounded by two or three people to appease him. The person bowed his head deeply and was in a mess.

Xiao Zhan's boyfriend is here. If Guo Chongren said something like that just now, it would be too impolite. The old squad leader got up and helped Guo Chongren's shoulders, and asked another person to help him take Lao Guo to the corridor to wake up. sober up.

Maybe Guo Chongren was too far from the suit and leather shoes that Lu Chuiqing saw at the company's anniversary that day. Lu Chuiqing didn't recognize him for a while, so he was helped out of the door so drunk.

When Lu Chuiqing came, the unhappiness in Xiao Zhan's heart was swept away, and he pretended that what happened just now hadn't happened. He went to the bathroom to change his clothes, and when he came out, the waiter happened to bring the packed things, and Xiao Zhan took the bag, yes Everyone said: "It's almost time for me to go, let's meet again another day, and keep in touch when I have time."

What happened just now, everyone knew that Xiao Zhan was upset, and no one dared to stay for a while, so they could only say goodbye to Xiao Zhan with a smile, and watched him leave with his lover.

After leaving the private room, Lu Chuiqing asked: "Aren't you going to sit with your classmates for a while?"

"No need, I will contact you in the future if you want to get in touch." Xiao Zhan said, "It's better to go home and stay with you."

Xiao Zhan's words were straightforward, which also made Lu Chuiqing's cheeks warm, thinking that it was actually because of this reason that he came out to pick him up.

When the two came to the parking lot, Xiao Zhan saw that Lu Chuiqing was driving the car in that garage, and asked, "How does this car feel to drive?"

"It's pretty good." Lu Chuiqing replied, "But I'm afraid of being scratched, so I drive slowly."

Because Xiao Zhan had been drinking, Lu Chuiqing was still driving the return trip. After the two got into the car, Lu Chuiqing still felt a bit of a novelty. This was the first time he let Xiao Zhan sit in his co-pilot.

Just when Lu Chuiqing was about to start the car, Xiao Zhan suddenly leaned over, supported Lu Chuiqing's chin with his left hand, turned his head around, and lightly bit his lips.

Lu Chuiqing was startled, blushed and said, "Why... are you still outside."

"I am drunk."

"...Do you look drunk? And no one who is drunk can say that he is drunk!" Lu Chuiqing couldn't help but said, "What's more, who has the guts to get you drunk..."

"You have."

In the first ten days of September, Guan Xiaoluo's due date was approaching. After Guan Xiaoluo was hospitalized, Lu Chuiqing went to the hospital to see him from time to time. Yuan Ning also had a complete vacation for a few days. The only job was to spend time with Xiaoluo. lo.

On the day of the due date, Xiao Luo remained silent. Although Yuan Ning knew that there might be some delays, she was worried and asked the doctor many times. After getting an affirmative answer, she was still very nervous.

On the night two days after the due date, Xiao Luo started to feel pain in her stomach, and was finally pushed into the delivery room.

Lu Chuiqing and Xiao Zhan arrived at the hospital the next morning. After giving birth, Xiao Luo had to stay in the hospital for a few days to recover. When the two came, he was sitting on the bed drinking porridge, and the baby was lying by the window little crib basking in the sun.

Seeing Lu Chuiqing coming, Guan Xiaoluo said happily: "Brother Lu, you are here."

Seeing that Xiao Luo was in good spirits, Lu Chuiqing felt relieved.Now that the stone in his heart has finally dropped to the ground, Guan Xiaoluo can finally relax and chat, and snorted: "The little boy has finally unloaded the goods, and he still refuses to come out. I am really exhausted."

Lu Chuiqing laughed. Although he was pregnant before, he had never given birth to a child. He was curious about his true feelings for a while, and asked, "Xiao Luo, how did you feel last night?"

"At first, it hurt so much that I really wanted to close my eyes and pass out. I think I could hear me screaming on the whole floor." Guan Xiaoluo replied with lingering fear, "It was much better after the painless injection, but also It still hurts, I was dizzy the whole time, and I didn't know what to do before giving birth."

Hearing Xiao Luo's hoarse voice, Lu Chuiqing reached out and hugged him: "Xiao Luo, thank you for your hard work."

Xiao Zhan followed behind Lu Chuiqing, carrying two bags in his hands, all of which were picked by Lu Chuiqing to bring to Xiao Luo, most of them were some Omega postpartum care products, and some sterile ones specially for newborn babies Bath and skin care products.

Maybe Xiao Zhan's aura is really incomparable to ordinary people, and Guan Xiaoluo didn't dare to be so familiar anymore, so he said cautiously: "Thank you, Mr. Xiao."

"You don't need to be so polite." Lu Chuiqing said, "Where's Yuan Ning?"

"Yuan Ning and his parents didn't sleep last night. Yuan Ning just sent his parents home."

Lu Chuiqing nodded, turned her head to look at the small crib by the window, her eyes were full of hope and curiosity.Guan Xiaoluo said with a smile: "Brother Lu, go and see her quickly, let her get some of your intelligence and wisdom, Brother Lu."

Lu Chuiqing walked quickly to the baby's bed, squatted down beside the bed, stared at the sleeping baby under the sun, her eyes were shining with a strange light.

The baby, who was only a few hours old, was too small and too soft, as soft as a pistil wrapped in a small flower bag, still flushed all over, with fleshy body and cheeks, sleeping soundly.

Lu Chuiqing thought of the child in his previous life who was not born, and felt a little bitter in his heart for a moment. He couldn't help reaching out, and carefully, with the lightest and gentlest movements, touched the little baby's little feet.

"The baby is so cute." Lu Chuiqing said, "It will definitely be a great beauty in the future."

Guan Xiaoluo: "I hope she can inherit the strengths of me and Yuan Ning, and don't be so confused like me."

It didn't take long before Yuan Ning came back. Although he didn't sleep all night, he couldn't see any fatigue on his face. When he greeted Lu Chuiqing and Xiao Zhan, his eyes could not hide the joy of being a father for the first time.

Yuan Ning helped Xiao Luo bring back snacks that could be eaten during the confinement period, and then went to the stroller, and carefully changed the direction of the sleeping baby so that the sun could shine on her whole body.

Seeing this, Lu Chuiqing left the ward with Xiao Zhan without disturbing the young couple.

The wards on this corridor are full of fathers or mothers who are about to give birth, or who have just given birth. The faces of the family members who come in and out are either nervous or joyful, and strange faces are about to greet them. Emotional portrayal of new life.

Lu Chuiqing looked at them and couldn't help concentrating slightly.

A hand suddenly grabbed his hand hanging by his side, Xiao Zhan looked down at him, and said slowly: "What are you thinking?"

Lu Chuiqing raised her head and couldn't help thinking, what will Xiao Zhan look like after becoming a father?Are you the type to be gentle with children?Or the severe type?Will he see other, lesser-known sides of Xiao Zhan?

"I'm thinking..." Lu Chuiqing replied slightly embarrassed, "What will it be like to be a father?"

Xiao Zhan couldn't help laughing: "I'm still waiting for you to give me this chance."
