After cohabiting with the old enemy contract

Luo Qisheng's Adam's apple rolled: "It's him."

"Hahahaha!" Ji Delan took a sip of wine and laughed loudly, "You actually found him! Hahahaha!"

Ji Delan took another look at Cheng Zhan, "It seems that no one will drink with me in the future."

Among the three, Cheng Zhan was the most at a loss: "???"

In the afternoon, Cheng Zhan made an excuse of wanting to visit the vineyard, and Gideran took the two of them around the garden.

After Cheng Zhan went in, he found that Naijia's investigation report was correct.

Although there are vines that can be seen all over the mountain, most of the vines are sparse, and no one takes care of them when they are dry.

Even if such a winery is not annexed in the future, it will not last long.

In the center of the manor is a small two-story castle. After entering the gate, there is a bright and bright living room. Several bottles of red wine are placed side by side on the rectangular dining table.

Gideland warmly greeted the two: "Luo, let's stay here tonight, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time."

Luo Qisheng circled the dining table: "Only wine?"

"Yes, yes, there are still some things in the refrigerator, but I don't know if they can still be eaten." Guidland hiccupped and opened the refrigerator.

He frowned, and took out a few blackened eggs and a few pieces of chicken that had been frozen for an unknown amount of time.

Gideland smiled "haha" and threw the things into the trash can: "Forget it, I'll order some takeaway."

Gideland squinted his presbyopic eyes and swiped on his phone for a long time.

Luo Qisheng: "Let me do it. The pizza from Christie's will be delivered in 10 minutes."

"Good! I haven't eaten pizza in a long time!"

While waiting for the takeaway, Gideland led the two of them to the wine cellar.

There is an all-wooden warehouse beside the old castle. From an iron gate, there is a wooden ladder spiraling down. Guidland walked in the front alone, and he said, "Congratulations, Luo, you found it." Man, I must open a bottle of the best red wine today!"

Luo Qisheng followed behind him: "Do you still make wine now?"

Gideland shrugged: "It's long gone, the workers are all gone."

Luo Qisheng: "Then why don't you sell it?"

Gidelan stopped in her tracks, turned her head, stared at Luo Qisheng vigilantly, and smiled dryly: "So you also came to persuade me to sell the winery?"

"Yes."

Guidelan changed his face and snorted: "How could I sell this winery?"

When stepping on the wooden stairs, there will be a "creaking" sound. Guidland pushed open the door of a storage room: "Don't mention this, I can still have a good drink tonight."

Cheng Zhan and Luo Qisheng looked at each other, Luo Qisheng responded: "Okay, I won't mention it tonight."

In the long and narrow cellar, there are rows of mahogany wine racks, but most of the grids above are empty.

Kidland squatted in front of the innermost row of wine racks, and took out a bottle of well-packaged red wine: "Hahaha! I found it!"

Cheng Zhan saw Ji Delan approaching him with a smile, and his vicissitudes of life were full of smiles: "Cheng! This bottle of wine is specially opened for you, and I have hidden it for 20 years."

"Thank you."

Red wine with pizza.

The dinner was full of Gideland's words. It seemed that he hadn't spoken so much for a long time, and it was rare to see someone who could listen to him and couldn't stop talking.

Gideland was flushed from drinking, but still in high spirits, facing Cheng Zhan, she revealed Luo Qisheng's truth: "A few years ago, I met Luo in a bar, and he looks like this now, drinking alone. No one cares about alcohol."

Luo Qisheng glanced at him leisurely: "If you hadn't been drunk and bumped into me, I wouldn't have bothered to talk to you."

"Yeah! But I bumped into each other just right, otherwise how would I find a drinking buddy who is in the same boat."

Cheng Zhan remained calm, all these years of his relationship with Luo Qisheng were empty.

He didn't know what this man was doing, what his life was like, and what he had experienced.

He didn't know all these things.

In the past, Luo Qisheng would not take the initiative to say it, and Cheng Zhan didn't want to dig deeper.

Tonight, I finally met someone who could talk, and Luo Qisheng didn't intend to obstruct her.

Luo Qisheng shook the wine glass, a little absent-minded: "Since when did I feel sorry for you?"

"No? I miss my wife, you..." Guidelan turned his drunken head and pointed to the pocket of Luo Qisheng's clothes, "Thinking of the one in your wallet. Speaking of which, Cheng He It didn't change much back then, it looks younger than you."

Ji Delan stared at Luo Qisheng with a smile: "Don't deny it, even I'm tired of seeing that photo of yours."

Luo Qisheng had a calm demeanor: "I didn't deny it, I've been thinking about him."

"Hihhhhhhhhh! That's great... that's great... You can finally find someone."

Ji Delan recalled it intermittently, but in Cheng Zhan's ears, it was like a landmine, every single word exploded, especially Luo Qisheng's understatement, which completely blasted Cheng Zhan's heart full of holes.

Cheng Zhan looked at Luo Qisheng, the calmness in his eyes was all gone.

Luo Qisheng still had an indifferent expression on his face, pouring wine for himself one cup after another.

Ji Delan smiled "Jie Jie": "You have found the person in your heart, better than me, I can't find it..."

Before he could finish speaking, he "snapped", got drunk on the table, and immediately started snoring.

Cheng Zhan's chest rose and fell, and his knuckles holding the wine glass turned white, but he still pretended to be calm: "Luo Qisheng, what photo of me are you hiding?"

"Group photo of your class at graduation."

"..."

"Senior, in fact, I have been thinking about you."

"What do you mean?"

Luo Qisheng forced a sentence: "What do you think I should mean?"

"We signed a contract, we are friends with benefits, um, friends." Cheng Zhan didn't dare to look at Luo Qisheng, his eyes lowered and lowered, "I think..."

I think it's good.

"I feel... I feel..." Cheng Zhan was speechless.

Luo Qisheng sighed long and faintly: "I used to think that I was the only one making excuses for myself. Now I realize that we are all of them."

Luo Qisheng possessed himself in front of Cheng Zhan, with a drunken voice as if bewitching: "Ah Zhan, I will wait for you."

When you no longer want to make excuses.

At that moment, Cheng Zhan felt that his heart was about to stop beating.

……

Gideland was soaked in a wine tank, and he woke up not long after being drunk.

He arranged guest rooms for Luo Qisheng and Cheng Zhan respectively. Luo Qisheng had a networking meeting with China in the middle of the night, and returned to the room very early.

Cheng Zhan drank, couldn't sleep, and wandered around.

At night, lights will be lit up in the manor, just like in old fairy tales.

Cheng Zhan was in front of a fireplace, looking at the decorations on it.

There are several photo frames on the fireplace. From left to right, a man and a woman in the photos grow old from young, to middle-aged, and when they hold their hands, as if they have spent a period of life.

The one on the far left is Gideland and his wife when they were students. The photo is a bit yellowish. The two are standing under the Statue of Liberty, hugging each other cheerfully.

The one on the far right is the old Gideland, who came under the sculpture alone, raised his head, and looked up at the world-renowned statue.

"This is my wife, An Lisa."

Gideland took two wine glasses, quietly stood beside Cheng Zhan, and looked at the photo with him.

Sure enough, Gideland couldn't do without wine for a moment.

Cheng Zhan took the glass from Gideland: "Your wife is beautiful."

Cheng Zhan took a sip of the wine and took the initiative to find a topic: "This bottle of wine is also delicious."

"Hahaha! It has been hidden for 20 years. This bottle was made by my wife. She likes it very much." Gideland looked at the photo on the fireplace, "It's like she likes the Statue of Liberty very much. In the past, I would drink it every year. Take her to see it once."

"It can be seen that you love your wife very much."

Not thinking about it, Gideran shook her head: "When I was young, I was uncertain and played around. She is the daughter of a rich man, but she took a fancy to me, a poor boy."

Guidelan leaned against the fireplace, looking at the photo, his old eyes could not hide his nostalgia, the sound of red wine was stained, like an old gramophone, creaking and playing backwards.

A poor boy in the Bronx neighborhood was accidentally attracted by a rich girl. The girl wanted to marry him regardless of the family's obstruction and even left the family.

An Lisa took a photo with Gideland for the first time under the statue, and she said: "Gideland, I will break all the shackles that bind me under my feet like the Statue of Liberty, no matter what difficulties I have, they will not stop me from marrying you. "

Gideland stayed in the memory, eyes stretched too long, and then shed sour tears: "I seemed to wake up that day and work hard. This winery was a gift I gave her on the 20th anniversary of our marriage. At that time, she had no contact with her family for [-] years."

"I am the only one in her world, and this is all." Gideland sniffed heavily, "So, no matter what, I won't sell this place."

Cheng Zhan listened carefully, and the photos on display seemed to come alive one by one.

The woman who broke free from her fate did not want to be manipulated by others. She broke through the chains, and what she was obsessed with was her own freedom of feelings.

Cheng Zhan found that his heart was beating very fast, and a certain idea that was forcibly locked up by him was also desperately encouraged, trying to break through the shackles while his mind was in a trance.

The faint voice in my heart began to stir again.

"Ah Zhan, the freedom of emotion..."

"You don't want to?"

"A girl can have courage, why don't you have it?"

"Because he can't!"

……

A shrill cry interrupted Cheng Zhan's dream.

He trembled and woke up suddenly, he was actually afraid and broke out in a cold sweat.

Cheng Zhan was paralyzed on the bed, gasping for breath.

After chatting with Ji Delan for a while, Cheng Zhan went back to his room to sleep, but was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night.

The empty house was getting colder and colder, and the cold wind came straight in through the cracks in the windows.

Cheng Zhan wiped off his cold sweat and took a look at his phone.

One forty in the morning.

The night is still very long.

In the dim light of the phone screen, Cheng Zhan's fingers rolled up and down several times in the dialogue with Luo Qisheng.

He turned several times on the bed thinking about it.

Idleman Cheng: [Are you asleep? 】

Cheng Zhan held the phone, anxiously waiting for the news.

Luo Qisheng replied in seconds: [No, what's wrong? 】

Idleman Cheng: [Can I go over to find you? 】

This one, Luo Qisheng took a while to reply.

Chess piece: [Okay. 】

When Cheng Zhan saw the news, he threw off the quilt, put on slippers indiscriminately, and hurried to the door, as if if he stayed any longer, the coldness of this room would freeze him.

Luo Qisheng's room was next to Cheng Zhan's. As soon as he opened the door, Cheng Zhan bumped into him.

Luo Qisheng hugged him suspiciously, feeling that the man was trembling.

"Senior?"

Cheng Zhan gritted his teeth, pretending not to see his embarrassment at this time: "The air conditioner in my room seems to be broken."

Luo Qisheng: "..."

Cheng Zhan got under the covers, and a familiar heat immediately surrounded him, and he recovered.

Luo Qisheng had just finished the video conference with Qu Xinlei and the others, but Cheng Zhan suddenly sent a message.

The man's face was pale, and it didn't look like the air conditioner was broken.

Luo Qisheng turned off the bedside lamp, wrapped his long arms around Cheng Zhan's waist, and hugged him tightly: "Senior, it's fine, I'm here."

The night that followed was still long, but Cheng Zhan slept soundly.

There is no dream, only the warmth of the whole body.
