After repaying this month's payment in the self-service bank downstairs, Lin Ai's bank card has little remaining balance.

He found time to go to the hospital to check on Bai Wen. The man was still sleeping peacefully. In the advanced intensive care unit, the nurses took good care of him.

He thought, thanks to Bai Ou's willingness to bear the medical expenses, otherwise Lin Ai would be stretched for debt repayment and Bai Wen's medical expenses.

When he came here this time, the nurse didn't gossiping with him anymore, obviously she still remembered Lin Ai's sudden black face last time.

Lin Ai sat in front of the hospital bed for a while, it was raining outside the window, pattering on the glass, although he came with an umbrella, his hair was still slightly dizzy.

Lin Ai sat with a blank expression on his face. He was often tired of making a smiling face when he was alone, but since he didn't smile, he didn't have any other special emotions to express.

In the sound of the pattering rain, he recalled his childhood. Lin Tianqi was a typical philistine businessman, mercenary, selfish and realistic, but he loved his wife and children very much.

On rainy days like this, he would practice calligraphy in the study with Xiao Lin Ai, who had just learned to read, and ask him to write "money, money, money", or words such as "bringing wealth and treasure" and "money is rolling in" .

In the end, he held his immature fingers and wrote "Daddy loves Daddy" stroke by stroke, and then asked him to send the words to Bai Wen to see.

Bai Wen was either making scented tea or making soup. He turned his face to look down at the little Lin Ai, then squatted | lower | body | stared at his eyes, and said with a gentle smile, "Daddy loves Daddy too. ".

Lin Ai saw the same thing in their eyes, shiny but firm.

Later, after Bai Wen became a vegetable, Lin Tianqi's character became more irritable and selfish. He was wary of anyone approaching, hostile to the outside world, and the light in his eyes turned into doubt and paranoia.

During that time, Lin Ai got along very unpleasantly with him, because he began to blame him intentionally or unintentionally for being just an Omega, unable to help him in any way.

He often sat alone in the study and drank heavily, muttering to himself, complaining about life's harsh treatment of him.

He didn't want to see Lin Ai more and more, didn't eat at the same table with him, and didn't care about his daily life anymore.

The father and son gradually became like two strangers at home, but this state didn't last long, and he sent Lin Ai abroad out of sight and out of mind.

On the day of departure, it was also raining lightly. The driver took Lin Ai to the airport. After getting off the car, he didn't hold an umbrella, and ran into the airport hall as if fleeing.

Lin Tianqi did not show up until the boarding time.

In the past few years, he would often call home to ask about his father's recent situation. The housekeeper always answered the phone and reported Lin Tianqi's situation to him in a low voice.

In the next two years, no one answered his calls. When he called Lin Tianqi privately, he always hung up after chatting with him impatiently, but he was never late for the monthly living expenses.

When she received the death notice, Lin Ai's eyes were so dry that she couldn't cry, because it was a suicide, and the funeral preparations were hasty, and it was held in the city funeral home.

The paranoid and irritable Lin Tianqi offended many people in those years. When he died, few guests came to express their condolences. Lin Ai stood silently in front of the coffin until Bai Ou and Fu Sili appeared.

The Fu family picked a better cemetery for Lin Tianqi, and buried him in a secluded cemetery with beautiful scenery in the outskirts. There were special caregivers there, and the tomb was cleaned spotlessly.

Lin Ai seldom visited. He was afraid of facing his father's tombstone alone, and he was afraid of seeing the paranoid and gloomy eyes that had lost light in the photos.

After sitting in front of Bai Wen's bed for a long time, he got up and left. After leaving the hospital, he didn't go back to the company, but took a detour and walked towards the back mountain.

He wanted to see his former home.

The villa that used to be full of flowers and plants, on a sunny day in spring when the flowers bloomed, Bai Wen took his little hand and danced tango steps on the porch.

Bai Wen's pace was too fast, and Lin Ai burst into tears when he couldn't catch up, and sat down on the ground unwilling to get up.

In order to coax him, Bai Wen broke off flexible willow branches and made a garland to put on his little head, "I still want roses..." He sobbed and did not forget to ask.

So Bai Wen broke a few more rosebuds and inserted them among the willow branches, Lin Ai became happy, and took Omega's father's hand to dance a crooked tango dance.

When he walked to the villa where he had lived for many years, he realized that the happy and beautiful things were just memories.

That villa was already a bit dilapidated. After Lin Tianqi sold it, the buyer was unwilling to live in it, because he knew that the owner of the house had a car accident and went bankrupt. He thought the feng shui here was not good.

The door of the villa was locked tightly, and a few pieces of glass in the windows were even broken. He stepped on his feet to look, and the position of the mahogany furniture inside remained the same.

He walked slowly around the villa with an umbrella again. The garden was full of weeds half a person's height and old rusted railings. He felt his vision was a little blurred. He suspected that the rain had entered his eyes, so he reached out to touch it. , but found that tears had already flowed down his face.

Times have changed, and things have changed.

……

Lin Ai is in a rare low pressure today.

The colleagues in the company noticed it, so they didn't talk to him to make fun of him as usual. Everyone sat at the computer desk and concentrated on their work, and their efficiency improved a lot for a while.

After completing the two small cases in hand, Lin Ai went to Yin Cai's office with a cup of hot coffee.

That person disappeared from the company for two days since he came back from AECC last time. He just came back from the outside, wearing a dark suit, and entered the office without saying a word.

When the door was opened, there was another puff of smoke, Yin Cai still closed the window tightly and smoked.

Lin Ai walked slowly over, opened the window, and said to her, "No wonder you didn't install a smoke alarm in your office, it was reserved for smoking."

He turned around and found a bottle of whiskey opened at Yin Cai's desk, and the amber liquid was contained in a wide-mouthed glass cup. She was squinting at Lin Ai.

"That day..." She slowly vomited her eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, it was the president of the Fu Group who carried you out the door, right?"

"Did you see it?" Lin Ai was slightly ashamed.

"Although I don't know what happened, but Yuan Yuan Chi was so angry that he slapped his hands several times in front of everyone."

"Oh..." Lin Ai paused, and then said, "He is not a good person."

"Really?..." Yin Cai raised her eyes to look at him, "Then Mr. Fu is a good person?..." There was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes frankly turned back and forth on him.

"I remember, he has a lover." She snuffed out the cigarette butt in her hand and said casually, "Although it is common for rich people to have a few lovers, you have to understand that he will eventually return to his family .”

Hearing these words, the blood on Lin Ai's face gradually faded, he was silent for a while, then nodded and said softly, "I know."

He didn't deny it, and he didn't refute it. In his opinion, this kind of relationship may be no different from being a lover. Anyway, it's all about flirting in bed and doing things with money.

It's just that he is wearing a coat of begging for a child, so he can comfort himself for the time being, as long as the relationship between the two has a child, it will return to its original state.

Fu Sili still belonged to Baiou.

He's also just an insignificant outsider.

The two were relatively silent for a while, and Yin Cai took the initiative to talk about Dean with him.

She said that Dean used to be her best student, but after witnessing a stage accident, he started to indulge himself, no longer on stage, and turned to be a plane model.

The past few years have been even more miserable. Relying on their beautiful skins, they have hooked up with some wealthy businessmen and celebrities, and made gadgets that they come and go as soon as they call.

When Lin Ai asked what the accident was, she was silent, lit another ladies cigarette, and then talked about what happened a few years ago when the smoke filled the air.

It turned out that the dancing partner who died unexpectedly was Yin Cai's former lover.

During the last live performance, he fell from a three-meter-high stage, landed on the back of his head, and died instantly.

Yin Cai knew that he was a little absent-minded before the performance, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. After he got on the stage, Yin Cai made up for several wrong steps.

Later, when he was performing a solo turn, his footsteps were disordered, and his figure fell off the edge of the stage as soon as he crooked. Yin Cai quickly reached out to grab him, but only managed to catch a button that was broken.

The man lay on the ground with his eyes open. Deep red blood gradually flowed out from the back of his head, staining his white shirt.

Yin Cai later found out that the reason for his absent-mindedness was that he wanted to propose to her, who had been in love for five years, during the curtain call of the performance.

His bouquet of red roses and engagement ring were handed over to Dean, who told him to hide in the first row of the auditorium, and hand them over to Yin Cai after the performance in the name of giving flowers on stage.

Unexpectedly, Dean, who secretly rejoiced at the chance to show up, watched him fall to his death in front of him. From then on, he became afraid of the stage and never dared to dance on the stage again.

That day he hid in the toilet and smoked, also because he couldn't release the fear of the year, and needed to untangle it before going on stage again.

Yin Cai said that when she was heartbroken after the incident, she blamed Dean indiscriminately for not telling her these things in advance and messing with that person.

But she thought about it, was that a nonsense?

It was just a surprise marriage proposal from her lover.

Yin Cai gave up the stage since then, until she was relieved to go on stage with Lin Ai again.

She told Lin Ai that that dance meant reconciliation as before, and that red rose was her response to his proposal.

"Did you know?... He is very obedient and timid, and has never done anything big. He is often nervous before going on stage, and he was even more restless that time, but I ignored it..."

"I also told Jita, you are really useless..."

Yin Cai said with tears, "Actually, I am even more useless. Without him, I have become incomplete."
