silent age

Xu Mu asked, "You just wanted to kiss me?"

"..." Jiang Yijue got up without saying a word, patted the dust on his body to avoid this question.

Xu Mu stood up from the ground, followed and asked, "Why didn't you kiss me?"

"..."

"Because I'm a man?"

"..."

"Because I'm your cousin?"

"..." Jiang Yijue's expression changed.

Xu Mu smiled, stood in front of him, put his hands around his neck, looked up at him, approached his face and said, "Actually, I was adopted by my parents."

Jiang Yijue turned his head: "Stop making trouble."

"Really." Xu Mu snapped his head back, his tone and eyes became more provocative, "The adoption certificate is under my TV cabinet, do you want to go and see it?"

Jiang Yijue looked into his eyes, finally couldn't hold back this time, and kissed him.

The turbulent kiss instantly heats up the small space, and the fermentation time becomes scorching hot.The absurdity of youth and innocence in youth left an indelible mark in this place in this night, and it will accompany the two of them for a lifetime until they are destroyed.

When Xu Mu graduated from high school, Jiang Yijue took him out for a crazy fun.

The first place they went was Jiangcheng. After visiting the Yellow Crane Tower, they went to the river to take a boat.

Xu Mu and Jiang Yijue swayed around on the deck of the ship, and finally leaned against the fence, facing the misty Yangtze River and the refreshing summer wind.

Jiang Yijue asked him, "Is the Yangtze River beautiful?"

Xu Mu sucked his Coke, stared intently at the woman taking pictures on the Yangtze River Bridge and said, "The women on the bridge are so pretty."

Jiang Yijue's face changed slightly, and Xu Mu hurriedly said, "Beautiful, the Yangtze River is so beautiful! It would be best to die here someday. I would rather wander in the river for eternity than be a worldly wandering ghost."

Jiang Yijue's face became even more serious: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Do you think I'm crazy?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because many people say that about me." Xu Mu propped his hands on the fence.

"I don't think so, you just live frankly. Few people in the world can live so frankly."

Xu Mu, who was about to say something more, was suddenly attracted by groups of green tile buildings in the mountains not far away: "Where is that place?"

Jiang Yijue said: "Guqin Terrace, the place where Boya and Ziqi met."

"I really want to go and see what kind of place the most exemplary bosom friend in history met." Actually, Xu Mu just didn't want to go back to take a bath and rest so early, and wanted to find someone who could spend more time outside and chat with Jiang Yijue excuse.

Looking at the sky, Jiang Yijue said, "It's getting late today."

"It doesn't look far from here to there."

"It's almost six o'clock, let's wait for the next time."

Xu Mu was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, let's do it next time."

Episode [-]: A firework, a dust

The matter of Jiang Yijue and Xu Mu was spread to Mr. Jiang's ears by a son of the Jiang family when he was joking.

Although Mr. Jiang didn't like to see Jiang Yijue, the eldest son, he would never tolerate him doing things that would damage the Jiang family's style.

On the second day after learning about his relationship with Xu Mu, Mr. Jiang called Jiang Yijue back to Jiang's house.

As soon as he got home, Mr. Jiang made him kneel in the hall, and beat him hard with a whip.Every time he was beaten, his skin was torn apart.

The younger brothers and sisters in the family gathered around the stairs and the door watching, laughing and gloating at the play.As the eldest son in the family, Jiang Yijue has no status, and as the elder brother among this group of brothers and sisters, he has no dignity at all.Compared with being slapped in public for offending Lin Heng, kneeling here in embarrassment and being ridiculed by his family is the most humiliating thing for Jiang Yijue.

After that incident, Mr. Jiang drove Jiang Yijue to the United States, leaving him to fend for himself.

Jiang Yijue came to the United States alone, accompanied by only a piece of wood that Xu Mu once gave him.

When he first arrived in a strange country, the first thing Jiang Yijue did was to use the only money he had to contact Xu Mu on a public phone.Jiang Yijue lied to Xu Mu on the phone that coming to the United States was voluntary, and he didn't tell him in advance because he was afraid that he would be sad.

Xu Mu hung up the phone angrily, and the expensive phone call Jiang Yijue made with spare money ended in a hasty way.

When he first came here, Jiang Yijue didn't have a mobile phone, so he could only use a public phone when making calls. Xu Mu couldn't contact him, so he had to take the initiative to contact Xu Mu.

But he couldn't even eat three meals, how could he have the spare money to make expensive overseas calls.

It is too difficult to find a job here, and no Chinese here can easily get a job, let alone him, a foreigner.Discrimination, oppression, bullying, what he faces are difficult survival problems.

After several months of sleeping in the wind restaurant, a homeless man came to Jiang Yijue, saying that there was work to do, the money was quick, but the risk was relatively high, and asked him if he would like to do it?Jiang Yijue, who hadn't had enough to eat for three days, agreed to him without hesitation.

The homeless man took him to a dark street. This street was unmanaged, and the law and order was very poor. There were all kinds of people gathered here.Criminals, drug addicts, prostitutes, violent gangs, the air smells of cigarettes, drugs, bad perfume, body sweat.

The homeless man took Jiang Yijue to meet a black man, who asked him what he wanted to do?yellow?bet?Or poison?Jiang Yijue chose to gamble.The black person took him to the ring and told him he would get a dollar for a fight.

He asked: "Is this a 'gamble'?"

The black said, "You're a gamble."

On the first day of playing, Jiang Yijue was beaten to death by the opponent, and after leaving the field, he vomited yellow water all over the place.Playing on the second day, he was beaten to the ground at the last moment, and he passed out.The black man said that if he still loses that game tomorrow, he won't have to come back in the future.

On the third day, Jiang Yijue fought against a white man. The white man maliciously provoked him, insulted him with the most unpleasant words, and after angering him, knocked him down, stepped on the ground and laughed fiercely.

The moment his face was on the ground, Jiang Yijue recalled everything he had suffered in Jiang's house.

Is he going to die in this place?Is this the end of his life?Could it be that his whole life was destined to be stared at and ridiculed by?

He thought, no!It must not end like this!He wants to win, he wants to win this game, he wants to win everything, win everything back, win back what should belong to him!

Jiang Yijue suddenly got a strong force, and he stood up suddenly and knocked the white man to the ground.

He sat on the white man, grabbed the white man's hair, looked fiercely like a wild beast, and punched this disgusting face with his fists. At that moment, there were too many faces on this face.Those who laughed at him, humiliated him, and bullied him all appeared in front of him at this moment.He beat harder and harder, until the opponent didn't even have the strength to beg for mercy, and the opponent lost consciousness with blood all over his face.

It wasn't until the referee blew his whistle that Jiang Yijue won, and several people came up to stop him, and he stopped the uncontrollable violence.

The black man threw a dollar to Jiang Yijue, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jiang, well done!"

Jiang Yijue spat out the blood in his mouth, looked at the dollar in his hand, and looked at the shining Statue of Liberty on the coin.Something in my heart seemed to no longer exist.

He spent some days in the black streets, saw people die, and beat people to death.Slowly, my heart became harder and harder.When he had money to make that overseas call, he no longer wanted to call that number.

After gaining some fame in the black street and earning a small sum of money, Jiang Yijue left this dark place.

He took the small sum of money and found a few people to do business together, but the investment funds were still a little short.Later, a collector who liked to collect Chinese antiques accidentally saw the piece of wood that Jiang Yijue was carrying with him. He said it was a rare and precious wood and was willing to buy it from him at a high price.

He hesitated for a long time but didn't agree. His partners all advised him, no matter how important something is, can it be as important as their big business?What kind of wood can't be bought after it becomes a major event?

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yijue finally sold the wood Xu Mu gave him to the collector.In this way, they got together the first investment fund.

The business between Jiang Yijue and several partners is getting better and better, and conflicts gradually appear between them.Jiang Yijue, who is used to life and death, completely disregards human feelings when it comes to rights and interests. He is ruthless when he should be ruthless, and ruthless when he should be ruthless. In the end, he kicked out all his partners and took over the power alone.

Within a few years, Jiang Yijue had completely made a name for himself in the United States.It wasn't until this time that the media discovered that he was the eldest son of the Jiang family, one of China's three major business tycoons.

Foreign media arbitrarily identified Jiang Yijue as the heir of the Jiang family. Mr. Jiang did not deny this statement when he was interviewed by reporters in China. He privately sent someone to contact Jiang Yijue and asked him to return to China to help manage the company.

Jiang Yijue has been wandering abroad for many years, and finally returned to China with success and fame.He came back with hatred, desire, and ambition. In the first month of returning to the Jiang family, he squeezed away his competing brother and sister. Afterwards, following his father's wishes, Helping the Jiang family win many big projects has won Mr. Jiang's favor more and more.Go up step by step, climb higher and higher.

The reunion with Xu Mu was an accident. When Jiang Yijue heard that Xu Mu was going to Jiangcheng to study at university when he first returned to China, he didn't even think about contacting him.

One day in August, Jiang Yijue went to a company to discuss a project, and when he came out, he ran into Xu Mu who was walking towards him with a steamed bun in his hand.

Jiang Yijue was taken aback for a moment.

Xu Mu was also dumbfounded when he saw him.He opened his mouth and read out: "Jiang..."

The assistant opened the car door for Jiang Yijue and reminded: "Mr. Jiang, get in the car."

Jiang Yijue looked away from him, got in the car and left.

In the car, he looked out the rear window and saw the person behind him running for two steps, as if trying to catch up, but stopped in the end.

A few days later, Jiang Yijue was talking with his father in the office when his cell phone rang suddenly.

Jiang Yijue's eyelids twitched when he saw the calling number.Although he hasn't dialed this number for many years, he still remembers this number clearly and never forgets it.

He didn't know how Xu Mu got his cell phone number, but he knew that he couldn't answer this call.

"I heard that you ran into Xu Mu on the street two days ago." Old Mr. Jiang saw that he hadn't pressed the hang up button for a long time, as if he had read his mind, and told him half-warningly: "Since you have returned to China, Be careful in the future. Stay away from that cousin of yours, and don't let people spread gossip. If you are disobedient, don't blame me for doing it to him. "

Jiang Yijue smiled, refused to answer the call, turned off the phone, and said lightly: "It's been so long ago, I have forgotten it."

Now Jiang Yijue doesn't want to be affected by any feelings, and also hopes that other people's feelings will not affect him.Everything is bullshit until he gets where he wants to be.

It's just that he never thought that his "enlightenment" was beyond Xu Mu's understanding.

Xu Mu didn't understand why Jiang Yijue didn't contact him for so many years in the United States, and why he didn't let him know or come to him after returning to China, and even ran into him on the street, and drove away as if he didn't know him.

Xu Mu had a bad life in recent years. His father ran off with other women in other places, and his mother remarried.He lives with his paralyzed grandfather, who died of illness two years ago, leaving him alone at home.After being admitted to a foreign university, he never thought about coming back.

This summer vacation, I wanted to go home on a whim, and happened to meet Jiang Yijue after returning to China.

But Jiang Yijue pretended not to know him, which made the past few years that Xu Mu felt miserable worse.

Xu Mu worked hard to find Jiang Yijue's cell phone number, and called several times, but Jiang Yijue didn't answer, and then the other party simply blocked his number, so that he could no longer get through.

Xu Mu couldn't stand Jiang Yijue's cold treatment, so instead of thinking about it himself and not knowing anything, it's better to ask the other party for clarification.

He sneaked into Jiang's company and broke into Jiang Yijue's office regardless of the security guards.

At that time, Jiang Yijue was reading documents, and when he saw someone barging in, he stopped what he was doing, waved to the security guard who was holding Xu Mu, and motioned for them to go out first.

Xu Mu, who was still angry at first, lost his anger again after seeing Jiang Yijue.He tidied up the crooked clothes that had just been grabbed by the security guards, and asked, "Why didn't you find me when you came back? Still refused to answer my phone? Is it me... Did I do something wrong?"

Jiang Yijue replied coldly: "You did nothing wrong."

Seeing Jiang Yijue's indifferent look of not caring about anything, Xu Mu's languid anger rose again.He couldn't help asking excitedly: "I didn't do anything wrong, why are you ignoring me!"

As if he thought his voice was too loud, Jiang Yijue frowned: "Xu Mu, you should change your temper. You are not young anymore, don't be so arbitrary and reckless. Like a..." At this point, Jiang Yijue stop.

Xu Mu said for him, "Like a lunatic?"

Jiang Yijue acquiesced to his own statement.

Xu Mu's heart suddenly turned cold. Those who once said that he lived a frank life finally felt that he was a lunatic.

"Don't mention the past. Those 'past' are all wrong." Jiang Yijue said, "You said you were adopted, but you lied to me. You are indeed my cousin."

"Yes, I lied to you. I'm a lunatic, what's wrong with lying to you?" Xu Mu suddenly laughed, as if only this smile could maintain his self-esteem that was about to fall to the ground, "Actually, I never liked it. You, I just thought you were upset, so I deliberately got close to you to ruin his reputation, and I just thought you were a fool, so I deliberately played you!"

Jiang Yijue ignored him, but his face gradually turned green.

Xu Mu smiled, his eyes were a little red, and he continued to vent what he thought he was happy: "Do you know that I looked down on you very much back then, I thought you were a worthless person! Jiang's family only fucked you The most useless and the easiest to be played by others! I just saw you playful, so I fucking played with you!"

"Get out!" Jiang Yijue swept the documents to the ground, and the indifference that had been deliberately piled up was finally torn apart by fury under the stimulation of these words.

Xu Mu's eyes became more and more red, and his voice was choked with uncontrollable sobs: "Get out, you think I care about you? Let me tell you, if I walk out of this door today, I will never see you again! "

Jiang Yijue took a breath, regained his composure, looked at him with cold eyes, and repeated the word: "Get lost."

Xu Mu did what he said, and from this day on, he never contacted Jiang Yijue again, and never came to see this person again.

He went back to study and went back to live his own life.But he thought, maybe he is a bitch at heart.When I was free, I would inadvertently think of Jiang Yijue again, and when my anger subsided, I began to try to make myself forgive the other party.She would even find all kinds of excuses for Jiang Yijue, who had become indifferent and unfeeling, and even dreamed that they would have a reconciliation one day.

He heard that Jiang Yijue was going to start a casino business in Macau, and when he was bored, he went to someone to learn a thousand skills. He fantasized that one day Jiang Yijue wanted to be happy, and he was willing to get back together with him, and he could go to Jiang Yijue's casino to help.It's just that this day in fantasy never came after all.

Some people at school said Xu Mu was gay.At first it was said as a joke, but then it spread, and everyone took it seriously, and gradually looked at him with colored glasses.

Xu Mu never pretended, he felt that he was gay, and he had no intention of refuting it.

The people in the dormitory saw that he had admitted this fact, so they gradually alienated him, occasionally gossiped about him behind his back, and finally collectively disliked him, excluded him, and teased him.

One time, a roommate deliberately stabbed him in the back with a mineral water bottle, and he grabbed and beat him severely, until his face was covered in blood and he continued to beat him.

In a hurry, the man picked up the utility knife from the table and tried to resist, but Xu Mu snatched the knife away.At this time, another roommate came to try to persuade him to fight. Xu Mu's eyes were red from the beating, and he bumped the hand holding the knife casually, and the whole knife was inserted into the arm of the roommate who tried to persuade him to fight.

Everyone else in the dormitory was stunned, and one hurriedly called the counselor over.

When the counselor came, he almost fainted from fright, and the whole dormitory was covered in blood.The one who persuaded the fight was rushed to the hospital to stop the bleeding, the one who was beaten said it was Xu Mu who did it, and none of the others spoke up.

Xu Mu's body was covered with blood, and he stood there in a daze without making any rebuttals, the bloody utility knife still in his hand.

He was taken to the school leader's office to await trial. After a long time, the secretary came over with a mobile phone and said, "Your mother's phone number."

There was a gleam of brilliance in Xu Mu's eyes, he hurriedly answered the phone, and shouted: "Mom..."

He originally wanted to get comfort from his mother, but what he got instead was a severe reprimand.

With a humiliating cry, Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and scolded: "The face of the family has been embarrassing you all these years!" Sniffing, she continued, "Do you know how long I have been calling the Jiang family to beg? It's not that your cousin asked someone to help you reconcile, you are going to spend the rest of your life in prison!"

Xu Mu's heart sank, he stopped talking, and let his mother scold him endlessly on the phone.

After the secretary answered the call, Xu Mu's mother said apologetically, "I'm sorry, teacher, he has some mental problems recently. Can you help me persuade him to go to the hospital? I also have something to do here. past……"

The parents of the two victimized students received a considerable amount of compensation, so Xu Mu will not be held accountable.Because of the relationship with the Jiang family, the school did not dare to expel Xu Mu easily.

The school leader called Jiang Yijue and asked cautiously: "The school has to deal with him. His mother said that he might have some mental problems. Mr. Jiang, what do you want us to do?"

Old Mr. Jiang, who was drinking tea across from him, deliberately said: "What happened? If you find it difficult, let me do it for you."

Jiang Yijue glanced at his father, and said to the school leader on the phone: "Since he has mental problems, send him to a mental hospital for treatment. If this matter can't be handled well, don't be your leader."

Xu Mu was forcibly taken to the mental hospital by the people in the school. He did not cooperate the whole process, but his resistance was useless except for wasting his own strength.

The doctor saw him and opened a ward for him.The first course of treatment is two weeks. After two weeks, you can go back to school to observe the situation. If the situation is not ideal, come back again.

Xu Mu fought back, and he yelled, "Why do you let me stay here! I'm not sick!"

But after throwing him in the ward, normal people left, and no one listened to his yelling.Beside him, there are only some patients who are in a trance and mentally disturbed.

After the two-week course of treatment was over, the doctor handed Xu Mu the medical record and asked the school staff to take him back for two days of observation.

After Xu Mu took the medical record, he tore it up, emphasizing: "I'm not sick."

He tore up the medical records, and the previous treatment did not work, so he was hospitalized and had to start all over again.

This time Xu Mu finally couldn't take it anymore, he yelled like every patient in this hospital, he grabbed the secretary's arm and cried and begged for mercy: "I beg you, please let me go, I will drop out of school! May I drop out of school? Don't let me stay here..."

The secretary tried to persuade: "Xu Mu, you are obedient, we are all for your own good! Your cousin and your mother are looking forward to your cure, you can be cured! You can be cured!"

"I'm not sick at all!" The doctor wanted to pull him, but he pushed him away. He squatted in the corner with his head buried in his knees, crying and shouting, "Why don't you let me go... ...Why don't you let me go!"

Tired of crying, she was led to the hospital like a puppet that anyone can pull strings at will.

Hospitalized, back to school, hospitalized, back to school, hospitalized.In the following years, my college career has been repeated like this. The course of treatment is getting longer and longer each time, the time spent in hospital is getting more and more, and the time in school is getting shorter and shorter.

In his senior year, he took the postgraduate entrance examination and wanted to prove that he was sane.It's a pity that even though he passed the exam, the school still tortured him repeatedly.

No matter how hoarsely he tosses, no matter how hard he tries to prove, no one will believe what he said is true.Perhaps, those people knew that what he said was true, but the "rules" required them not to believe it, so they chose not to believe it.

After a long time, even Xu Mu himself wondered if he was really crazy.

In the last year, he learned to be good, especially listening to the doctor, and doing whatever the doctor said.Sometimes it's really boring. When I catch a normal person in the hospital, I pull the other person to talk. He wants to believe that he is still normal.

Finally, the course of treatment was over again, and the doctor announced again that he could return to school for observation for a few days.

The people from the school had an accident on the road this time, and they couldn't get to the hospital in time to pick up Xu Mu.Xu Mu begged the doctor for a long time, and the doctor agreed to let him go back to school after seeing that he was in good condition recently.

After Xu Mu walked out of the hospital, he let out a big breath and muttered, "I can finally leave here..."

Coincidentally, this hospital is not far from Guqintai and the Yangtze River Bridge.The former him must have never imagined that he would be tortured and spend so many years of pain near the place he once thought was beautiful.

Since you want to leave, let's go to the places you wanted to go but didn't go.

He went to the Guqin Terrace alone, smiling and taking selfies one after another, leaving traces of his past.

Someone left a recording pen there, and Xu Mu picked it up, wanting to leave some sound.He wanted to say something to Jiang Yijue, but he didn't know what else to say.Why don't you just tell that idiot how close Guqintai is to the Yangtze River? It doesn't take that much time to come and go.

After finding the route from Guqintai to the Yangtze River Bridge, Xu Mu read it down and recorded it as he walked.

"Arrived at the Yangtze River Bridge."

Arrive at the Yangtze River Bridge.He stopped and looked at the beautiful women at the bridgehead, facing the wind from the river.Put down the recording pen and slowly climb up to the guardrail.

He spread his hands, feeling like a bird about to fly.At that moment, he showed a relieved smile. It turned out that standing in this place, he didn't feel any fear at all. It turned out that he had always been so eager to embrace this freedom.

The next day, the assistant came to tell Jiang Yijue that Xu Mu committed suicide and no one claimed the body.

Jiang Yijue's hand looking at the document suddenly froze, and his whole face seemed to lose all color in an instant, extremely pale.

After a while, he said, "Oh."

In the afternoon, Jiang Yijue changed into clothes and asked his assistant to book a ticket to Jiangcheng for him.

When leaving the company, Mr. Jiang rushed over with a cane, and the cane beat the floor and scolded him behind his back: "If you dare to go, you will never take my place in this life! Our Jiang family does not want a gay heir!"

Jiang Yijue paused for a moment, then continued to walk forward.

Old Mr. Jiang winked at his subordinates, who immediately picked up the antique wood carving next to it, went up and smashed it hard at Jiang Yijue's head.

After Jiang Yijue woke up, his father sent many people to watch him, and he was allowed to go everywhere, but he was not allowed to go to Jiangcheng.

Jiang Yijue didn't make any resistance and continued to do what he should do.

Three days later, his assistant came back from Xu Mu's house and said, "His house is almost empty. There is nothing left. We just found this."

The assistant handed over a red book with the words on the cover: Adoption Registration Certificate.

Xu Mu, born in 19xx, was adopted in Tianjin XX Orphanage.

The child in the two-inch photo squinted his eyes with a smile, as if the world was always sunny, and he looked nothing like a child in an orphanage.

Jiang Yijue stared at his photo for a long time, and asked his assistant, "Where is the house behind their house?"

"What house?"

"An abandoned house."

"I didn't see it when I went there. It seems to be a river."

It turns out that there is no place to even remember.

Suddenly recalling that night many years ago, Xu Mu took his hand, passed the cars going back and forth on the road, ran into the abandoned hut, and showed him all the wood he had treasured.

I remember before leaving, Xu Mu asked him: "Give you a piece of wood, what kind of wood do you like?"

Jiang Yijue stared at his face and said, "Xu Mu."

Xu Mu laughed loudly, and then said: "Okay, then whenever you want to take me away, just take me away."

Thinking of this, Jiang Yijue also laughed, smiled, and shed tears.

Many years have passed, and everyone only remembers Jiang Yijue, who was once an all-powerful man in the business world. No one knows Xu Mu, who spent that ridiculous youth with him when he was young.

Only one year, when this person was discussed again on the domestic Internet, an overseas netizen left a passage: Jiang Yijue.Stumbled and stumbled for more than twenty years, the rest of my life, rising and falling, when it was brilliant, it was like fireworks in full bloom, and when the curtain ended, the same love turned into dust.

Fanwaiwu has been turned over several times, but it is still lingering

01 cheap chicken soup

After studying in the university for three years, Bai Sihuan became a teaching assistant with excellent grades.

Sometimes the professor doesn't have time to give lectures to freshmen, freshmen and sophomores, so he asks him to help.

The juniors like to ask him a lot of questions, not only professional questions, but also life, philosophy of life, and culture. They like to ask him many questions.

A student asked him: "Mr. Bai, I heard that there is a saying of 'karma' in China. The people who bullied me before don't know what happened now. Do you think they will get the retribution they deserve?"

Bai Sihuan shook his head and said, "I don't know if they will get the retribution they deserve, but I know that as long as you stop thinking about them, your life will be better than before, better than now."

A boy raised his hand and said, "I don't think I've ever been happy in my life."

"No matter how miserable your life is, you must learn to create your own happiness. Even if that happiness is short-lived, you have had it before."

"Mr. Bai, I can't forget the stupid things I did before."

"I can't forget either." Bai Sihuan smiled as if recalling something, "But you have to learn to forgive yourself."

Forgive the past, forgive yourself, forgive the years of ignorance.

02 ex-boyfriends

On Sunday, Bai Sihuan didn't have to go to school, and Lin Heng's law firm had to work overtime because of the busy schedule.

Bai Sihuan was bored at home alone, so he simply went to his office to work with him.

In the office, Lin Heng was busy with his own affairs, while Bai Sihuan sat on the sofa and looked at his phone.

He was looking at a domestic website, looked at it, and accidentally clicked into a live broadcast room.Bai Sihuan was taken aback, this female anchor looked familiar no matter how she looked, after looking at it for a long time, he finally realized that this person was Xu Yan.

When Lin Heng got up to go to the coffee table to pour water, he leaned over and took a look: "Your ex-girlfriend has become an internet anchor?"

Bai Sihuan said, "It's also your ex-girlfriend."

Lin Heng took a sip of water and said, "Give her a rocket?"

Bai Sihuan thought it was feasible, so he registered an account, chose a random name, and gave her a rocket.

The female anchor on the screen stopped singing in the middle, blinked, and thanked her with love: "Thank you Heng Xiaohuan for the rocket~ I love you~ I love you~ By the way, your ID summarizes the names of my two ex-boyfriends , Those are really two, unforgettable feelings..."

Then she stopped singing and began to talk about her two "unforgettable" loves, portraying herself as a heroine in a love-hate triangle between two brothers.

"..." The two ex-boyfriends across the screen fell silent.

03Multiple uses of the desk

After a busy day, Lin Heng finally settled all the affairs of this week, and he was relieved.

Throwing the documents on the desk, Lin Heng leaned back in the chair, looked sideways at Bai Sihuan who was sitting on the sofa reading, and called out to him: "Come here."

Bai Sihuan put down the book, got up and went over.

Lin Heng grabbed Bai Sihuan's waist, let him sit on his body, leaned his chin on his shoulder, and took a deep breath while hugging him.

Bai Sihuan was used to Lin Heng's childlike dependence, and let him hold him, feeling the warmth of his chest.He stretched his hand back and gently stroked Lin Heng's abdomen.

Bai Sihuan likes to touch Lin Heng's abdominal muscles, and envies that Lin Heng can train them.He can't do it, he has a poor physique, and he becomes dizzy after a lot of exercise, which is why he often passes out under Lin Heng.

Lin Heng gasped in his ear, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "If you keep touching it, I won't be able to bear it anymore."

Bai Sihuan's hand froze, before he could take it back, Lin Heng pressed him on the desk.

When it was almost time to get off work, a new female assistant knocked on the door of Lin Heng's office: "Lawyer Lin."

Lin Heng's impatient and irritable voice came from the office: "Say!"

"Regarding the case yesterday, Ms. Chris just called to say she wants to get custody."

"Screw it!"

"Yes, but the man is willing to give money." The female assistant said cautiously.

"How much does the man offer?"

"200."

"Tell her ex-husband to ask for 500 million, otherwise we won't talk about it."

"But the other party thinks that 200 million is already..."

"what!"

The new female assistant was taken aback by the sudden strange cry, and quickly asked, "Lawyer Lin, what's wrong with you?"

She didn't know if there was something wrong with her ears, she felt that the voice didn't sound like Lin Heng's, but like another person's.

"I'm fine." Lin Heng made a "hiss" just after saying this, and seemed to whisper something: "How dare you bite me..."

The female assistant became more and more worried as she listened: "Lawyer Lin, are you really okay? Your documents seem to have fallen to the floor."

"I fucking know!" Taking a breath, Lin Heng continued, "Go and tell the other party, if you refuse to see me in court."

"Okay." The female assistant nodded and was about to leave. Suddenly, she remembered that her colleagues said that they would go to a party together after get off work, so she turned back and asked, "By the way, my colleagues and I would like to ask if you will be there later... "

"No time! No appointment! Get out!"

"..." She remembered the advice of Lin Heng's former assistant, they would never understand why Lin Heng would lose his temper.The assistant didn't want to touch this bad luck anymore, so he answered "yes" in a low voice, and finally agreed to leave.

She naturally didn't know how turbulent the office is now, one after another...

04 family of three

In the past few days, Bai Sihuan's school has a biological observation course, and he has got a bunch of small animals for the students to observe.Among them was a little white dog, which looked less than three months old. It was a silly little dog, and it dared not move once it was placed on the table and surrounded by people.

After a few days of observation sessions, the animals were all returned to their original locations, except for the puppy that was still in the school.

The professor said that the puppy was borrowed from the stray dog ​​rescue station. The rescue station has no room to accommodate it now, and asked the school to help find adoption. If no one adopts it in a few days, it will be sent back for euthanasia.

Bai Sihuan thought to himself, Lin Heng's birthday is coming up, and he hasn't decided what gift to buy for him yet.After much deliberation, Bai Sihuan decided to take the puppy back.

Bai Sihuan hid the puppy in a cardboard box, thinking of giving Lin Heng a surprise when he got home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got home, the puppy jumped out of the cardboard box, jumped to the ground, ran around, and ran directly to Lin Heng's feet.

Lin Heng was surprised: "Arctic wolf is here again? The zoo has moved again this time?"

At this time, the puppy gave a "bark".

Lin Heng was stunned, his expression instantly softened, and Bai Sihuan saw the long-lost "father's love" radiance from him.

Bai Sihuan went up to pick up the puppy, smiled and said to Lin Heng: "Let's raise it together."

05 A family of four

On Saturday, Bai Sihuan went to his law firm with Lin Heng, and a two-year-old child came to the firm, sitting on the sofa alone and playing with car toys.

Lin Heng remembered that the kid was named Jacob, and he was the nephew of his former assistant. Jacob is of mixed race. His mother is Chinese and his father is a local. He can speak some Chinese. Every time he comes to the office, he likes to chat with Lin Heng in Chinese.

Lin Heng's former assistant was standing at the desk, packing up the things that he hadn't taken away, and at the same time making phone calls to contact people in the orphanage.

After she finished making the phone call, Lin Heng came over to her and asked, "Kelly, what's the matter?" His eyes wandered to Jacob.

"As you can see." Kelly spread her hands and said, "My brother's wife died of illness three months ago, and my brother passed away from cancer last month, leaving me this child. I will marry and go to the United States soon, Impossible to take him away."

"Are you going to hand him over to the orphanage?" Bai Sihuan asked after hearing what she said on the phone.

Kelly didn't deny it: "Otherwise, I can't let him starve to death on the street."

Lin Heng said: "Children of mixed race are easily bullied in orphanages."

"I'm going to the United States to get married and settle down in the United States. These are all arranged! There is no time to help him with immigration. Moreover, I will have my own children in the future, and my husband will not accept him. You want him Have you spent half of your life being treated coldly by aunts and uncles and bullied by cousins? Oh my God, what a tragedy! How could it be better than going to an orphanage?" Kelly told them with a vivid expression.

Lin Heng and Bai Sihuan looked at each other, and a certain idea reached a consensus in each other's eyes. They looked at Kelly and said in unison: "We adopted him."

Kelly, who was about to contact the next orphanage, suddenly froze, looked at them, and asked incredulously, "Are you serious?"

They said, "Really."

Kelly seemed to see the arrival of the savior, and she sighed several times in a row: "You have helped me a lot! Jacob! Come here, meet your dad and your dad!"

Jacob heard the yelling, put down the toy and ran over.Standing in front of the three of them, he looked up at Lin Heng and Bai Sihuan, and said in a childlike voice, "Hi, dads."

06 Uncle?Uncle?

Jacob is two years old this year. His mother is Chinese. He has spoken Chinese since he could speak. In this family, they all communicate in Chinese.

He calls Lin Heng his father, and Bai Sihuan his Daddy. The existence of two fathers does not hinder his growth in the slightest.

Jacob likes to play with the dog at home. Bai Sihuan and Lin Heng usually have to go to work and have no time to accompany him. The nanny is only responsible for taking care of him and not playing with him. He can play with the dog from day to night without feeling tired.Lin Heng said that looking at him reminded him of himself when he was a child.

On New Year's Eve, the family sat in the restaurant making dumplings, and the Chinese Spring Festival Gala was on the TV. The lively atmosphere was like returning to China for the festival.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the doorbell rang at home.

Bai Sihuan went to open the door, and the man standing at the door took off his sunglasses and said "Hi".

Bai Sihuan blinked and shouted in surprise, "Brother?"

When the dog saw a guest coming, it immediately ran over and wagged its tail at the guest's feet.

Lin Heng, who was holding the dumpling wrapper, frowned, looking unhappy at all: "Why are you here?"

Lin Siying walked inside and said: "It's too deserted to be alone at home during the Chinese New Year, so come here to join in the fun."

"You don't think it's deserted if you don't find someone by yourself."

"You brat have the nerve to say, leave the company to me, and go abroad to enjoy life by yourself! I'm so busy every day, how can I have time to find a partner?" Lin Siying became angry when he mentioned this.But this anger dissipated immediately after seeing the shiny mixed-race baby next to Lin Heng, "Wow, who is this kid?"
