Stand-in Raiders

When Xiao Ping had eaten enough and put down the bowls and chopsticks, Li Yunian's thoughts had drifted far away.

"Xiao Nian, have you finished eating?" Xiao Ping looked at the man who was obviously distracted, and moved over to him.

Li Yunian was startled by Xiao Ping, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he had finished eating and was sitting on his seat looking at him.

"Have you eaten?" Li Yunian looked at Xiao Ping consciously cleared the dining table today, a little surprised, "Just let me come, why don't you catch up on sleep when you come back?"

"No, I have to go to the company later, and," Xiao Ping paused, as if he had made up his mind, "Don't you want to know about me and Du Hainian?"

Li Yunian didn't take the initiative to mention Du Hainian's matter, but it doesn't mean he has forgotten it.

"You, do you want me to confess?" After waiting for so long, what Li Yunian waited for was Xiao Ping's explanation.

He didn't say it before because he didn't want to spoil the atmosphere between the two of them. Now that Xiao Ping took the initiative to mention it, it was also a statement.

Du Hainian was special to Xiao Ping in the past, but not necessarily now.

Speaking of this matter, the two moved from the dining room to the living room.

Li Yunian got a glass of water for the two of them respectively, and then sat down and said first, "Are you going to explain everything clearly today?" Maybe it was because of his happy mood, his voice was cleaner and crisper than usual, of course And unchanging tenderness.

Xiao Ping took a sip of water and calmed down his nervous mood, "I'll tell you everything you want to know, whether it's me or Du Hainian, I won't hide it from you."

Although Xiao Ping was ready to confess everything to Li Yunian, when he really faced this moment, he was still a little nervous. The hand holding the water glass was sweating in just 2 minutes.

"Du Hainian and I have known each other since we were very young," Xiao Ping said from the beginning, "At that time, my family and Du's family were very close, and my mother and Du Hainian's mother were best friends. , I was about three years old, and Aunt Du was pregnant, and my mother told me at that time that the baby in Aunt Du's belly was my future daughter-in-law."

Xiao Ping was only three years old at that time, and his mother, father, and Aunt Du all said the same thing to him, and he naturally took it seriously and remembered it in his heart.

It's a pity that when the pregnancy was ripe in October, a boy with a handle came out of Mrs. Du's belly, not a daughter. The original plan of the two families to marry was shattered, but Xiao Ping, who had been listening to it for more than half a year, took this sentence I kept it in my heart.

Du Hainian will be Xiao Ping's wife in the future.

Such wrong thoughts have always existed in Xiao Ping's mind, and no one has ever corrected him.Everyone was happy that Xiao Ping and Du Hainian got along so well, and because they got close since they were young, no matter how close they were when they grew up, adults didn't feel that there was anything wrong. in front of you.

Later, when Liang Feng revealed the matter between the two of them, everyone was caught off guard.

The Du family and the Xiao family are both respectable families in City A, it is impossible for them to let their children and grandchildren make such jokes.

When Du Hainian knelt in front of Old Master Du and begged for his consent, the Du family and the Xiao family discussed how to separate them, and it was best not to see each other again for the rest of their lives.

Later, Du Hainian was forcibly transferred to the Empire where the Sun Never Sets to continue his painting studies; but Xiao Ping received the news that Du Hainian voluntarily gave up on him in order to study abroad.

At first, Xiao Ping didn't believe that Du Hainian would make such a choice anyway. They agreed to face the family's suppression together, but Du Hainian escaped alone!

How can he accept this?

Xiao Pingxiu studied for a whole year to look for Du Hainian, but no matter what, he couldn't get any news. At that time, he slowly started to give up, accepted the arrangement of his family, and went to the United States to study finance.

But at this moment, Xiao Ping received a text message from Zhou Yuan.

It was Du Hainian who asked Zhou Yuan to pass it on to Xiao Ping.

The general content is that he was sent on the plane by his grandfather, and all communication tools were confiscated, and there were people guarding him in the Empire on which the sun never sets. He had no way to go back to find Xiao Ping, but he still loved Xiao Ping, and he was with Xiao Ping. Xiao Ping agreed that he would return to China after finishing his studies, and the two of them could be together.

At that time, Mr. Du made such a promise to Du Hainian, as long as you finish your studies and you still only have each other in your heart, then he will allow the two of you to be together.

Perhaps this is the wisdom of the old man.

Du Hainian did not return to China as promised after the time for his study was up.Xiao Ping waited at the international airport for three days like an idiot, and was finally kicked out by the staff.

From that day on, Xiao Ping seemed to be a different person. He obeyed the arrangement of his family and entered his own company to start from the grassroots.

And just one year after Xiao Ping joined his company, he met Li Yunian on the way out to negotiate a contract.

It was a long and monotonous story, Li Yunian did not speak for a long time after listening to it.He thought that seven years of getting along with Xiao Ping was already a long time, but now he was a little uncertain.

Not everyone can understand and feel that kind of intimacy.

"He and I are like this." At the end of the talk, Xiao Ping summed it up in one sentence, "Du Hainian and I were indeed in love at the beginning, but due to various reasons we finally missed each other, and there is nothing to worry about. Sorry."

Listening to Xiao Ping recalling the past in a very calm tone, Li Yunian couldn't calm down no matter what.

He couldn't imagine how the two of them fell in love back then, and they had been bound together since birth. It was so deep and thick, giving people the feeling that there was no way to start.

After the story was told, both of them fell silent.

Xiao Ping was silent because he had said too much and had nothing to say.

Li Yunian, but because there are too many things to say, not just where to start.

"So, what about now?" It was Li Yunian who started the conversation. He lowered his head and looked at the water glass on the coffee table, his voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of blowing a trace of water.

"What did you say?" Xiao Ping raised his head after hearing Li Yunian's voice, and asked.

Maybe Li Yunian spoke too suddenly and his voice was too soft, or maybe Xiao Ping was too nervous, he didn't hear what Li Yunian said clearly.

Li Yunian didn't ask again, but looked straight into Xiao Ping's eyes.

tension.

care.

Those eyes were fixed on him now, watching his reaction.

This is the first time in so many years that Li Yunian was enveloped by Xiao Ping's eyes like this.

Unfortunately, it's all because of another person.

"It's nothing, I just want to ask you, why didn't you tell me about Du Hainian's return? I can go to see him with you." This is what Li Yunian cares about the most. If there is really nothing, why? Xiao Ping wanted to hide it from him?

Xiao Ping didn't know how to answer.

About a week ago, he learned from Zhou Qing, Zhou Yuan's elder brother, that Du Hainian might return to China for a period of time. He had a week to prepare everything, but he subconsciously ignored it. Tell Li Yunian.

Maybe it's because he didn't want to do this subconsciously. He slept with Li Yunian every day during this week, but he didn't mention a word to Li Yunian.

It's not that there is no chance, but the resistance in his heart keeps him from opening his mouth.

Just like yesterday after the client left, he was ready to go home, but he received a call from Zhou Yuan saying that Du Hainian had arrived.He didn't miss 2 minutes to call Li Yunian and send a text message, but he subconsciously avoided it.

He didn't want Li Yunian to know about it.

Of course, this doesn't mean that he still wants to develop something with Du Hainian. He is now with Li Yunian, so he will never do anything to apologize to Li Yunian.

"He will only be back for a while, and he will leave soon." Xiao Ping replied evasively, "Anyway, he will leave sooner or later, it will only be about two months, it doesn't matter."

Li Yunian didn't know what he was thinking, but after hearing Xiao Ping's answer, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he gave a gentle smile.

"Xiao Nian, if I want to meet him next time, I will tell you and let you go with me." Xiao Ping looked at Li Yunian's smile, and moved in Li Yunian's direction, "I will never be alone again. met him."

Li Yunian listened to Xiao Ping's assurance, took a sip of water from the water glass, and didn't care about the hand that was already on his waist.

"Xiao Ping, why didn't you come back last night? Even if you were drunk, they can send you back." Skipping the question of Du Hainian's return, Li Yunian started to ask about last night.

The whole night, he slept and woke up, waiting for Xiao Ping to come back.

However, Xiao Ping did not come back.

Not because of mistrust, but because of more concerns, when Xiao Ping came back this morning, Li Yunian had observed him carefully.

Perhaps, Xiao Ping has many little habits that he doesn't even know about, but Li Yunian is very clear about it.

When I came back today, although Xiao Ping's clothes had so many folds, he must not have slept in the suit he was wearing last night.When Xiao Ping sleeps at night, he likes to lie on his left side, and he also likes to pull up the sleeves of his clothes. Every time he sleeps, the sleeves are so wrinkled that he can't see them.

However, although the sleeves of the suit Xiao Ping passed on were uneven, compared with the previous ones, they were much worse.

"Last night, I was followed by Zhong Chi, and I was drunk." Xiao Ping recalled the scene last night, with lingering fears in his heart, Zhong Chi's appearance after being drunk was too scary.

"Then you slept directly in the bar room yesterday?" Li Yunian asked, putting one hand on Xiao Ping's hand on his waist, and the other hand in front of him, waiting for Xiao Ping to explain.

"We were all drunk last night, and it was Liang Feng who went back and sent us to the room." Due to the drunkenness, Xiao Ping's memory of my night last night was not very clear, "I just remember that I fell asleep when I got to the room , I can’t remember more, but I’m sure I didn’t do anything to apologize to you.”

Xiao Ping nibbled away step by step, he had already hugged Li Yunian in his arms, Li Yunian didn't struggle and let him hold him.

Feeling the scorching body temperature coming from behind, Li Yunian gave up on continuing to ask, and leaned into Xiao Ping's arms.

"Remember what you said, if you see him again in the future, at least tell me." Don't suddenly spread everything in front of my eyes like yesterday.
