Bamboo Horse Office

Seeing his face flushed with embarrassment, Chen Dong still thought it was quite amusing, so he poked his forehead with his finger, and laughed out loud when he saw him staggering like a tumbler.

Chen Xia was speechless, and finally let the heat disappear, but Chen Dong leaned over again, "Hey, what's going on with you?"

"It's nothing." Chen Xia held him down to prevent him from moving around, "Anyway, it's agreed, we're officially together now."

Chen Dong blinked, saw his serious appearance, and nodded seriously.

Chen Xia originally planned to continue celebrating the New Year, but felt that today is really worth commemorating. After all, life should have a sense of ritual, and it is necessary to prepare something more for such a rare day.Seeing that it was still early and some shops were still open outside, he planned to go out, "Want to eat cake?"

Chen Dong nodded quickly with bright eyes, he likes sweets the most, especially cakes.Usually Chen Xia is too busy to take care of him, so he secretly buys cakes at home, sometimes wishing to eat three meals a day.

"But didn't you let me eat more?"

For the sake of health, Chen Xia has restricted his sweets, but today is a special day, let him eat as much as he wants.

"It's okay, you wait for me at home, eat something first when you're hungry, and I'll go out to buy."

"Then you wear more."

It was still snowing outside, and today was New Year's Eve, so there were very few pedestrians on the street.Chen Dong thought that he would eat cake in a while, and he felt very happy, but he thought of Chen Xia again just thinking about it.

like?I should like him.

Chen Dong still doesn't understand this feeling very well, but it is said that he can be with Chen Xia forever in this way, and he is still very happy about this matter.Now that he is not too hungry, he walked around the house and ran to the balcony. This window is facing the street. Chen Xia used to work overtime at night, so he liked to lie down here and wait, and he couldn't tell what he was waiting for. , it just feels good to have someone coming home.

Half an hour later, Chen Xia appeared in his vision.

When crossing the road, Chen Xia knew that he was waiting at the window, so she raised her hand to greet him.

Chen Dong was lying on the window sill, the warmth in his heart was better than the moment, but at the next moment, a heavy truck rushed out from the corner of the street, and then with a bang, Chen Xia fell heavily to the ground.

After the investigation, the truck driver was found to be drinking and driving, but to Chen Dong, this was no longer important.

His relationship started with a simple kiss, and finally ended with a cake that fell apart and was stained with blood.

On the day of saying goodbye to Chen Xia, Chen Dong calmly handled one trouble after another in an orderly manner without shedding a single tear.Chen Xia's colleagues all knew of his existence and took good care of him after that. Chen Dong just felt that there was one person missing in his life, and his heart was a little empty. Other than that, everything was fine.

But one day he fell asleep in the dark, and after waking up, he subconsciously sent a message to Chen Xia's cell phone, but when the cell phone rang beside him, the emotions that had been accumulated in his heart suddenly burst out.

Chen Dong remembered that he cried for a long time that day, do you like it?He seems to know this feeling, but the person he likes is no longer there.

……

Because of worrying about Chen Dong, Yu An didn't sleep well all night.

The next day he got up early and called for breakfast as usual. Chen Dong didn't like to be disturbed by others, but considering that he didn't eat last night, Yu An was afraid that he would be hungry, so he went to knock on the door.

"Brother Dong?" Yu An tapped lightly three times, "Are you up yet? I ordered breakfast, let's have some."

No one in the house answered.

Yu An hesitated for a moment, tried to hold the doorknob, but found that it was not locked from the inside, "I'm coming in."

The room was pitch black, the bed was on the inner side, and the light from the door couldn't reach it. Yu An could only roughly see a vague figure leaning against the head of the bed, "Shall I open the curtains?"

Chen Dong didn't respond.

Yu An came to the window and opened the curtains, and the sunlight outside instantly shone into the room.

"Brother Dong..."

Yu An's eyes turned hot.

In the past, they always said that Chen Dong took good care of himself. People in their 40s are as well maintained as young people in their 20s. That face is deceptive.However, after only one night, Chen Dong felt exhausted from his whole body, as if he had aged more than ten years, and his black hair had all turned white.

"It's dawn..."

Chen Dong's eyes were bloodshot, the sun made his eyes uncomfortable, and his throat was very dry and hoarse.

He closed his eyes slightly for a moment, then opened them again, and found that Yu An was looking at him sadly, and forced a smile: "It's okay, the old man's mentality is stable, it's nothing to worry about."

Chen Dong got up from the bed and was about to wash his face. When he got to the bathroom, he saw himself in the mirror.

"Oh...you are really old..."

Not only the hair is completely white, but also a few more wrinkles around the eyes.

"Xiao Xia, if I go to see you like this, will you still recognize me?" Chen Dong touched the wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and said to himself, "Forget it, as long as I can recognize you, anyway, no matter what I become , you can’t even dislike it, right?”

After tidying himself up, Chen Dong lazily came to the dining table, Yu An was already waiting for him here, and first served him a bowl of porridge, "Drink this to nourish his stomach." He almost didn't eat all day and night, It would be best to have some plain porridge, but Chen Dong turned his attention to the cake on the side.

Fruits and small cakes were specially prepared for them. Chen Dong hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and brought the plate and cake to him.

"Brother Dong, don't you don't eat cakes?" Yu An believed that he would never remember wrongly. Jiang Nian had told him about this on purpose, and the office bought a big cake during the holidays. Chen Dong also did not move.

"Who said I wouldn't eat it, oh, I didn't eat it before, don't I want to eat it now?"

Chen Dong picked up a fork and cut a small piece into his mouth. The taste of cream was very soft and sweet, which should have been his favorite, but as soon as this taste melted on the tip of his tongue, his stomach churns.He forcibly suppressed this feeling and ate the cake.

"Does the cap mean that Emmons is coming today?"

"Ah."

Chen Dong nodded, then fell silent.

Yu An was a little confused about his thoughts now, mainly because he didn't know about Chen Xia, and he couldn't find a starting point for a few words of comfort, so he was very entangled.

Unexpectedly, Chen Dong and him brought this up on their own initiative.

After listening, Yu An was also silent.

"Don't make such an expression." Chen Dong laughed, "I'm not telling you this to explain the funeral, just in case, in case I die one day, you remember to bury me next to him. No one has done it for so many years. Talking with him is quite lonely, when he was alive, he was busy every day, working overtime every day, sometimes calling people away in the middle of the night, after so many years of busy work, he can finally take a break."

Chen Xia's tomb is a double tomb, which was specially arranged by Chen Dong. Due to work reasons, the two of them couldn't accompany each other well in those years. These regrets can only be made up after death.

……

Emmons is here a little later.

Peaked Cap asked someone to bring them new clothes, and after changing, he went upstairs with him.

"Boss, we're here."

After the peaked cap finished speaking, he did not enter the room, but made way for the two of them.Yu An saw that Emmons was inside the house. Compared with the photos he saw before, he was much older. The wrinkles on his face were deep and heavy. He was sitting in a wheelchair, and he was breathing heavily. Something went wrong, including a slight tremor in the hand holding the cane, but it remained dignified.

Next to him was a young man who looked about 20 years old and looked more like a gentleman. Judging from his appearance, he should be a relative of Emmons.

Seeing the two of them, Emmons' eyes lit up immediately, as if a predator saw its prey, and this feeling made Yu An feel particularly uncomfortable.

"My dear children, go and have a good look at them."

The young man next to them obeyed the order, took the initiative to shake hands with them, and introduced himself.Only then did the two know that this was Emmons' youngest son.

"There are still a few days before the operation. During this time, you should get along well with them, especially him." Emmons raised the crutch in his hand and pointed at Yu An, "He is a perfect work of art with infinite potential. Potential, it's a pity that it hasn't been well developed. But it doesn't matter, when this potential belongs to you, you will fall in love with this feeling."

"Okay, father."

Yu An was baffled by these words, Emmons Jr. responded and came back behind him, and the other party didn't give him a chance to ask questions.Emmons pressed the button on the table, and after a while, the peaked cap reappeared and brought the two of them back to the room.

Chen Dong sat on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yu An also misses Jiang Nian a little bit. In fact, as long as he has nothing to do, he can't help thinking about it.He knew that Jiang Nian must be trying to save himself now, and what he could do here was to delay time or ask for more information.

Since Emmons let his son get along with him more, there should still be a chance, but I don't know if Emmons is strict or not.

But if this matter is not done well and angers the other party, will it cause any adverse effects...

Yu An thought for a while, and then denied the idea.

Emmons worked so hard to arrest him just for the operation that he didn't know what to do. As the peaked cap said, he and Chen Dong were nominated by Emmons. If you think about it at worst, the experimental subjects are just them. Two, if one dies, the other party will lose money. It is impossible for Emmons to do such a loss-making business.

After ensuring his own safety, Yu An decided to find a chance to "get along well" with little Emmons, but what he didn't expect was that little Emmons was more proactive than he thought, and came over after breakfast the next day, Want to invite him to go for a walk on the beach.
