The moment he walked into the gate of the Tang family, Xie Mingde felt dizzy all over, and his hands that were holding the new year's goods were even more sweaty.

He hadn't been here for nearly ten years.

The Tang and Xie families are considered family friends, and he and Tang Chuan even grew up together as children.The two of them have been like two pieces of dog skin plaster sticking together since kindergarten, and neither of them can do without the other.

But at that time, no one thought they would come to this step.

The first kiss was when he was in the first grade of junior high school. He didn't know when Tang Chuan developed feelings for him, but everything he had towards Tang Chuan came from that playful kiss.

Later Tang Chuan made a girlfriend named Yi Lu, and later he abducted Tang Chuan into bed, and later Tang Chuan was abducted by him and broke up with Yi Lu.

Xie Mingde was actually very concerned about whether Tang Chuan was with him for the first time, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear that he would feel even worse after asking.

The two began to fall in love in the third year of junior high school. When it came to high school and university, if the families of both sides began to urge them to find girlfriends and get married after graduation, they would probably be able to talk about the end of time.

Xie Mingde stood in the courtyard downstairs, looking up at the window of Tang Chuan's room—ten years, 20 years, 30 years ago, he even remembered standing here, calling Tang Chuan's name and telling him to come down and play.

Tang's mother came out to welcome her. When she saw Xie Mingde, her expression paused, and then she laughed again: "Hey, isn't this Mingde? I haven't seen him for so many years. He's really getting more and more handsome."

Xie Mingde turned around in a daze, looked at Mama Tang, pulled the corners of her mouth with force, and said dryly, "Mom...godmother...Happy Chinese New Year."

Tang's mother sighed softly, and her eyes were a little hot: "Okay, come in quickly, it's cold outside. How old is your child, why don't you know how to feel sorry for yourself? In such a cold day, you don't wear more clothes. "

Xie Mingde took another look upstairs before following Mother Tang into the house.

Father Tang, who was sitting in the living room drinking tea, was startled when he saw him coming: "Mingde?"

"Godfather..." Xie Mingde looked at the Tang family, which had hardly changed in the past ten years, his eyes were astringent, "He stole my brother's job, come and see...you."

Just as he was talking, there was the sound of footsteps upstairs, and the little boy in Tang suit ran down in a blink of an eye: "Grandpa, grandma!"

When I arrived in the living room, I found a guest, so I didn't hide, and ran to Papa Tang's side, blinking my big eyes curiously at Xie Mingde.

The atmosphere in the living room froze suddenly, Xie Mingde looked away, feeling chills in his heart.

After a while, Mother Tang said, "Xuanxuan, call... Uncle first."

The little boy immediately said to Xie Mingde: "Hello, Uncle."

"Okay." Xie Mingde responded almost inaudibly, deliberately avoiding the little boy, and said with a stiff smile, "Godmother, Tang Chuan... are my brother and my sister-in-law at home?"

Tang's mother and Tang's father looked at each other, both of them were a little suspicious, but finally replied: "Your brother is upstairs, I'll ask him to come down—"

"No, no need, I..." Xie Mingde wanted to say that I went up to find him by myself, but before I could say anything, I felt something was wrong, so I had to change my words, "Then I will trouble you."

Tang's mother glanced at Tang's father again, bowed her head and said something in the little grandson's ear, the little boy nodded obediently, and went to sit beside his grandfather.

Father Tang wanted to talk to Xie Mingde for a while, but seeing Xie Mingde's restless and dazed expression, he knew that no matter what he said at this moment, the other party would not listen to him, so he could only sigh in the end.

He hated the Xie family, and the time he hated the most was not when his son ran over and knelt in front of him and said that he would spend the rest of his life with Xie Mingde, but when his son came back from abroad alone with his grandson in a mess.

During that time, Tang Chuan was barely in human form. If Xuanxuan hadn't supported him, he might have killed himself.

But ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Tang Chuan gradually came out, Xuanxuan grew up, and Xie Mingde never appeared again.

He is also old, too old to care about anything with anyone anymore.

Tang's mother went downstairs first, and smiled at Xie Mingde as soon as she got there: "Hey, Mingde, wait a moment, your brother just got up and went to take a shower."

"Yeah." Xie Mingde stood there for a while longer before he came to his senses, and chatted with Papa Tang while laughing, "I haven't seen you for a few years, you look fine."

Tang's father responded, then glanced at Tang's mother again, and said, "It's okay, that's all. When people get old, it's inevitable that this problem and that problem will come to the door, and it's not as good as every year."

Xie Mingde sat down on the sofa farthest from the little boy, and looked at Papa Tang without blinking, without glancing at the little boy at all, as if the other party didn't exist at all: "Where is it, you look a little better than before It’s not bad, it feels better than before.”

Tang's father smiled, and his smile was also very uneasy.

Xie Mingde wasn't in the mood for chatting at first, and if Father Tang didn't talk to him, he had nothing to say. There were obviously four people in the living room, but for a while, needles could be heard quietly.

Tang Chuan hasn't come down yet.

"Mingde," Tang's father finally couldn't help asking after an indeterminate amount of time, "What do you want to do this time?"

Xie Mingde turned his head to look at Papa Tang with a confused expression, as if he didn't hear what he was asking.

Tang's mother hurriedly grabbed her husband, shook her head at him, and signaled him to stop worrying about the relationship between the two, and then smiled at Xie Mingde: "Oh, look at the brains of the godmother, it's agreed to bring Xuanxuan Going to the movies. Dad Chuan, don't sit still, let's go quickly, it's too late."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand to pull Tang's father and the little boy, and while dragging them out, he said to Xie Mingde: "Mingde, you are familiar with the family, and you can find anything you want to eat and drink in the kitchen. The godmother doesn't care about you."

Xie Mingde instinctively stood up and sent them out. He waited for the three of them to take their things away as if fighting a war, and he stood at the door in a daze to react.

He and Tang Chuan were the only ones left at home.

He wanted to go upstairs to find someone, just like he did countless times back then, without changing his shoes, he went all the way to the living room and ran upstairs, and entered Tang Chuan's bedroom without knocking, just pushed the door open, and Da Lala jumped at him on or on the bed.

But now, not only the little boy named Xuanxuan has become a thorn in his heart, but also Yilu is an obstacle between them.

Xie Mingde suddenly didn't know what to do.

What on earth is he here for?After being told by Mr. Xie at home, he ran over with his things and took the opportunity of New Year's greetings, and then what?Then what?

Xie Mingde slumped his shoulders and panted heavily, he couldn't stand it, he didn't want to see anyone standing in his former position, he was jealous of that woman, he was so jealous that he was going crazy.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, Xie Mingde gritted his teeth and took a deep breath, then forcefully suppressed the shrinking emotion, and then turned around.

Tang Chuan was thinner than before. He had a big frame and deep facial features. Once he lost weight, he looked stooped and gloomy.

Xie Mingde stared straight at him, his greedy eyes were like a wild dog who had been hungry for half his life and finally saw the fleshy bones.
