The matter of Tao Rui's infidelity that night lingered in Xiao Yichen's mind, making his whole heart hang in the air, unsteady like riding a roller coaster, and flustered like a cat scratching.
When Tao Rui came to look for Xiao Yichen again, Xiao Yichen couldn't hold back anymore, and said bluntly: "What the hell did you mean that night? And before...don't try to find excuses to prevaricate me!"
Xiao Yichen was aggressive, but Tao Rui turned his head and stared at him without moving.
Xiao Yichen straightened his back first, then turned his head guiltily, and after remembering his intentions, he regained his courage and stared at Tao Rui vigorously.
Tao Rui has already looked away.
Xiao Yichen persevered and said: "Do you dare to do it but dare not admit it? What do you mean? Don't hide it, let's open the skylight and speak the truth!"
"... Bright words?" Tao Rui said in a strange tone, "What do you want me to say?"
"You...are you going to kiss me that night?"
"I didn't kiss again, why? Do you want me to pay for mental damage?"
"Tao Rui!"
Tao Rui was silent. He stood on the balcony of Xiao Yichen's house, staring at the river behind the building. Because of Xiao Yichen's extra cautiousness and his persistent persistence until he got an answer, he couldn't help but sighed softly.
Xiao Yichen held his breath and thought he could hear Tao Rui's answer, but he didn't expect to hear this inexplicable sigh.
Xiao Yichen endured and endured, "What do you mean?"
Tao Rui looked at Xiao Yichen from the side, his expression became extremely serious, which actually made Xiao Yichen lose a lot of confidence, "Chenchen, you insisted on breaking up with me at the beginning, just because our wishes for job hunting did not match?"
Xiao Yichen was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Tao Rui to suddenly bring up the past, he avoided Tao Rui's sight, looked down and didn't say a word.
Tao Rui said again: "You were annoying me during that time, you thought I was annoying when I talked to you, I didn't answer your calls, I didn't reply to your text messages, I didn't even have a chance to discuss with you, in our relationship Here, you are not even willing to make any compromises. I hope you can continue to study abroad and then return to China to develop, but you insist on staying abroad, saying that foreign countries are more suitable for development, and insisting that I accompany you to go abroad. After turning over, it seemed like we never had a chance to have a proper talk later on, and I didn’t expect that it would be four years later when we met again.”
Xiao Yichen clenched the railing tightly with his fingers, so hard that his finger bones turned white, his face was slightly pale, his throat seemed to be blocked by a stone, and he couldn't speak a word for a long time.
Tao Rui put his hand on the railing, and his voice was low and forceful, "It's not that I can't go abroad with you, but I really didn't plan to stay abroad at the time, and your attitude...have I told you? I really felt that at that time Tired, sometimes you don't consider my thoughts at all, and think that I should do what you say, I enjoy the feeling of following you in everything, but for such a big matter, I still have to stick to my principles."
Xiao Yichen said guiltily, "I'm sorry..."
"Your attitude can be one percent of what it is now, and we won't get to that point."
Xiao Yichen wanted to laugh, but he really couldn't, and said bitterly: "I used to be... I can't figure it out now, maybe it's because you've always been so nice to me, which made me feel... as if you couldn't do without me , but people always have to grow up slowly, after having An'an, I also... I can gradually understand your mood. "
"Yeah, everything will change, but unfortunately I didn't get to participate in your change."
"It's not such a wonderful experience," Xiao Yichen couldn't help laughing as he said, "If you really participate, I might not be able to change my previous bad habits at all."
Xiao Yichen laughed away the embarrassment in the air, and Tao Rui also smiled and said, "That's true, but the first time I saw you, I thought you still had the bad temper you used to."
Xiao Yichen uncontrollably thought of what he said when he saw Tao Rui, and he didn't know what happened at that time, even though they hadn't seen each other for four years, and they still had such a tense fight before, he didn't think Tao Rui was strange.
It seems that although these four years have continuously worn away the edges and corners of their bodies, they can't dilute the friendship at all. They are unforgettable to each other, so it's not easy to forget.
Tao Rui continued: "But after seeing An An, I changed my opinion."
Xiao Yichen said with great anticipation: "What do you think?"
"At that time, I thought, so that Xiao Yichen, who is fierce, arrogant and self-righteous, can still have such a gentle side."
Xiao Yichen glared at Tao Rui, "Are you praising me or scolding me? I..." He doubted himself tangled, "Am I really that bad before?"
Tao Rui nodded solemnly.
Xiao Yichen endured and endured, and kicked Tao Rui.
Tao Rui didn't dodge, Xiao Yichen rubbed his pants, and said, "I'm really praising you for nothing, you haven't improved much now, at most, you've changed from a severe patient to a benign patient."
Xiao Yichen shouted: "Tao Rui!"
Tao Rui laughed lying on the balcony, he didn't say anything, in fact Xiao Yichen's current situation is just right.
He likes Xiao Yichen's casual nature, if even this nature is lost, then Xiao Yichen will still be the Xiao Yichen he knew before.
Xiao Yichen leaned against the railing dejectedly, looking at the water pushing forward continuously downstairs.
Did he really insist on breaking up with Tao Rui just because he didn't agree with his willingness to apply for a job?
of course not!
At that time, he was facing great pressure from all aspects, including employment and family, which made Xiao Yichen even more unable to see his future with Tao Rui.
His father had an accident, Xiao Yichen was the boss, and his grades and performance in all aspects were still excellent for a long time, so his mother pinned all her hopes on Xiao Yichen.
Every time she was free to go home, his mother would talk to Xiao Yichen, telling Xiao Yichen to work harder and get the chance to study abroad.He also said that his father was already like this. If it weren't for the fact that they hadn't graduated yet, hadn't married and started a business, she might not have been able to survive before.
At that time, the family was even more fragmented than it is now. His mother had no job, and the family had no income, and everything depended on his father's compensation to survive.
Xiao Yichen knew that Tao Rui's family was rich, and he knew that Tao Rui would be able to satisfy any of his financial needs as long as he mentioned it.However, Tao Rui was his boyfriend, and this kind of relationship made his self-esteem suffer, and Xiao Yichen couldn't talk to Tao Rui about it.
This was the main reason why he was irritable and upset during that time. The pressure from his family made Xiao Yichen unable to see the future clearly. He couldn't imagine that if he came out of the closet, his mother would be pissed off.
Since there is no future, why bother dying.

At the end of October, approaching the New Year, the company became extremely busy.
The main direction of decoration is the interior design. After many families buy a new house, they hope to finish the decoration of the new house before the year, and then they can reunite in the new house for a prosperous New Year.
Xiao Yichen was so busy in the company that he was dizzy, so An An almost entrusted Tao Rui with full authority. Fortunately, Tao Rui had no complaints and enjoyed taking care of An An.
When Xiao Yichen found time to weigh An An, he was shocked to find that An An had gained five catties.One must know that An An is usually the type who can hardly eat fat, Tao Rui can make An An gain five catties, Xiao Yichen really admires it from the bottom of his heart.
I always work overtime recently, and the company has finally ushered in a two-day holiday, and the employees are as happy as Chinese New Year.
Xiao Yichen was not spared either, and proudly joined the "Chinese New Year" carnival team.It was rare to be able to rest for two days, so Xiao Yichen wanted to spend time with An An. After taking An An to the clinic in the morning, he planned to stop by the supermarket to buy vegetables and make a big meal for An An.
During this period of time, under the influence of Tao Rui, Xiao Yichen's cooking skills have been greatly improved.
Of course, the more important thing is that Xiao Yichen is a little worried that An An will be completely taken away by Tao Rui's food, and he also hopes to make food that will make An An's eyes shine and whet his appetite.
Before Xiao Yichen entered the supermarket, he suddenly received a call from his mother, asking if he was on vacation.
Xiao Yichen replied truthfully: "There are two days off this week."
Daimei said: "Oh, then you take An'an home for dinner at night? Do you want chicken or duck or boiled fish?"
Xiao Yichen looked up and stared at the entrance of the supermarket, then turned around and left while answering, "Let's go duck, it's better fried, and An An also said that he wants to eat beef stew with potatoes."
Daimei seemed to be in a good mood, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll make it for you, remember to come early at night."
Xiao Yichen agreed, since he didn't have to cook dinner by himself, he regretted giving up the idea of showing off his cooking skills, and decided to come back next time to verify the results.
Taking advantage of the holiday, Xiao Yichen cleaned the room carefully so that Tao Rui would not always say that his room was dirty and messy.
When it was almost four o'clock, Xiao Yichen set off for the clinic, and then picked up An An and went back to his mother's place.
When An An saw Xiao Yichen, he still looked around, probably looking for Tao Rui, but when he couldn't find Tao Rui, he drooped his eyebrows and still had a somewhat disappointed expression.
Xiao Yichen was a bit apprehensive, and couldn't help feeling aggrieved: "An An is looking for Papa Tao? Are you not happy to see Papa?"
An An went over to grab Xiao Yichen's hand, and gently stroked the back of Xiao Yichen's hand with her fingers to express comfort.
Xiao Yichen knelt down, still feigning aggrievedness, and said: "An An made Dad sad, Dad needs An An to kiss him."
An An looked up at Xiao Yichen cutely, and then reluctantly moved over to kiss Xiao Yichen after a while.
Xiao Yichen raised the corners of his lips, then turned his head and tapped his cheek, "I want to kiss An An here too."
An An pursed her lips and kissed Xiao Yichen's right cheek again.
Xiao Yichen was instantly satisfied, pinched An An's cheek with his hands, kissed the side of An An's face affectionately with a smile, hugged An An softly in his heart and left.
On the way home, Xiao Yichen suddenly received a strange call.He connected strangely, and politely said: "Hi, I'm Xiao Yichen."
Generally, an unfamiliar number like this is likely to be a call from a customer, so Xiao Yichen's tone is more distant and polite.
After Xiao Yichen finished speaking, he heard a familiar hearty voice from the phone, "Cheng Zi, I'm your elder brother Confucian, your voice is really nice, let me say one more~"
Xiao Yichen was taken aback when he heard that, and then he was inconceivably astonished, and said in shock: "Liu Ru? Is it yours? This is a Beijing number. When did you return to China?!"
Liu Ru smiled meanly: "What? Is your elder brother Ru not welcome back? Then my heart will be broken."
Xiao Yichen was speechless, and couldn't help saying: "Tsk, you're so embarrassing, I haven't seen you for a few years, and my son doesn't even recognize his father?"
Liu Ru was not angry either, and said with a smile: "Well, Dad, I'm back. This is your mother's mobile phone number. I heard from the head of the class that there will be a class reunion next week. Let's go to it together."
Liu Ru is Xiao Yichen's classmate in university. Although they are in the same class, the two of them rarely talked during their studies.It was later that Xiao Yichen went abroad and met Liu Ru by chance abroad, and the two established a deep friendship because of the foreign country.
Liu Ru is not only Xiao Yichen's best friend abroad, but also the only one who knows An An's life experience and accompanied Xiao Yichen through the most difficult and difficult years.
When Tao Rui came to look for Xiao Yichen again, Xiao Yichen couldn't hold back anymore, and said bluntly: "What the hell did you mean that night? And before...don't try to find excuses to prevaricate me!"
Xiao Yichen was aggressive, but Tao Rui turned his head and stared at him without moving.
Xiao Yichen straightened his back first, then turned his head guiltily, and after remembering his intentions, he regained his courage and stared at Tao Rui vigorously.
Tao Rui has already looked away.
