octopus don't cry

08 joke

I smiled mildly and nodded.

"We, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's find a place to sit down and talk." People's teacher ignored the embarrassment just now, with a look of joy and excitement.

He is about the same height as me, and the same age as me, but wearing a brown suit, he has a much cleaner temperament than a social uncle like me.

Fortunately, he has also been a teacher in college for seven years, so he didn't see my stiff expression and impatience in my eyes.

My expression froze and I nodded, but I thought in my heart that there is nothing to talk about? But I was also afraid that he would misunderstand, thinking that I still couldn't let go of the past, and with a remorse, guilt, sadness and disappointment on my face, I thought I still Being angry about the original thing... I think I really can't stand it.

Although it is an exaggeration, in fact he is really such a person.

Me too, even though Zan has thickened his skin and became an uncle in the past few years, I find that there are still some things that I can't just let go of. I want to see what he is going to do.

"You lead the way."

University A is a famous school, and there are a lot of business opportunities in the nearby small streets. Whether it is a food stall with kebabs, or a milk tea shop and coffee shop where you can talk about love, you can grab it here.In fact, I am familiar with this place. I have stayed in this place since I was 22 years old, and I used to guard a relationship with joy.

"This way."

I looked up, and it turned out to be a teahouse.After I entered the shop and looked around, there were really few people, and it could only be compared with the stall selling squid skewers next to it.

Shen Yi pulled out the chair familiarly and sat down.The embarrassment just now has disappeared, and he has returned to a familiar place, and his aura has returned, with a bookish air in every gesture.

He told me why there is a tepid teahouse in a prime location near the university.He said, "It was opened by a retired old professor in our school. Speaking of which, he has been teaching for more than 40 years. His wife died early, and his son was abroad. He retired and had nothing to do, and he was very lonely."

After hearing this, I thought the old man was good. I must visit him when I have time and ask how the old man supported the expensive shop rent with meager profits.

This is really a talent, I have to follow suit.

Shen Yi can't quite understand my expression, but he is familiar with several of my expressions.Teacher Renmin poured me a cup of tea and smiled helplessly, "It's not what you think. This store belongs to his son, and he bought it to relieve the professor."

What a big deal.

I clicked my tongue, unfortunately, I probably won't have a son in this life.

The atmosphere was a little silent again.

I really didn't know what he was going to say, but he had an expression of "we have a lot of things and things to tell", so I followed him.

I'm actually very happy after signing the contract, because I came to City C for this matter, and now I can leave as soon as it's settled, and I can hide as far away as I can from those annoying people.

In fact, I had some plans before I came back, and last night I strengthened my mind.I want to go to a small county town with green mountains and green waters, buy a small house, and live the rest of my life.

But he didn't expect to run into Chen Yaojin on the way.

Back then, I was still naive, and felt that he abandoned me to be with a woman, that we had lived together since we were young, and it was actually not worth a fucking word.

I was still young at that time, and I still felt that as long as we love each other, there is nothing we cannot stick to, as long as we are happy together, there is nothing we cannot overcome.

When you are young, many ideas are beautiful.

Of course, now I won't sneer and shake my face.It's so funny, he is not my father and enemy.I just don't think there's much to talk about between the two of us.

"How are you—how have you been?"

The people's teacher chose the least valuable opening remarks.

"It's okay."

I nodded.It's okay, at least I don't lack money to spend.

"That……"

The people's teacher who has been teaching for nearly seven years has been "that" for a long time and has not "that" come up with anything.

I listened patiently.

In the end he changed the subject and talked about his students and his current life.Both of us have relaxed expressions, after all, we are not the same boy in his twenties anymore.

But I actually know what he means.

He just felt guilty about what happened back then.

He doesn't believe that I'm living a good life. In his impression, I'm just a simple and persistent person with a dull mind.If you didn't get into college, life must be very difficult.Now that I have to buy the bookstore that has been in business for a long time, he may think that I am going to sleep on the street.

This is actually very ridiculous, he himself has changed, he thought I was still the original stupid Xiao Shen.

And I didn't want to point out anything, since I decided to stay away from here, then I don't care about his opinion.

After chatting for more than ten minutes, I really couldn't sit still. I tried my best to put on a look of "I'm listening very carefully", but I stared at the phone screen in a daze, thinking that it would be great if there was a call. .

Just thinking about it, the phone really came.

I picked up the phone and made an apologetic expression to Shen Yi, but I couldn't wait to answer the phone.

In fact, if I knew what was going to happen next, I would never want this call in my life.

It's Lin Lin.

-

"Brother Shen..." The voice on the other end of the phone was choked up, and there was a slight sniffling sound. After he said two words, he didn't speak again. It sounded like he had been crying hard for a while and couldn't make a sound.

I was shocked.

Not to mention Lin Shiran, even an ordinary man would be shocked if he called while crying.

And I watched Lin Lin grow up. Although he is soft-tempered, he has a tenacity. He is sensible and does not make people worry. I have never seen him cry a few times since he was a child.

But now he is crying and calling me.

"Lin Lin..." I took a light breath, "Lin Lin, calm down. Don't cry, I'm here..." My expression and tone must have scared Shen Yi, who sat opposite and remained silent.

"Lin Lin," I turned slightly sideways, "tell me if I need help..."

In fact, when I said this myself, I knew why he called.He has been very close to a man recently, and he still lives in his house, so he must like him.

He cried so sad, it was the first time I saw him like someone so much.

"Brother Shen... I'm fine. You don't have to worry..."

That's what every idiot who cried himself to death said.

"Brother Shen, I, I have no place to go recently... No, I mean I want to relax, I... I remember, you have a bookstore in City C... Can I, go, stay there for a while..."

I gripped the phone tightly.I thought the matter was serious, and he even quit his job.

"Okay, okay, no problem." I didn't care that I just sold the store, I was a little flustered now hearing his tone, I asked him, "Where are you, Lin Lin, tell me I'll go find you right away... "

He was stunned there for a moment, then immediately replied under his throat, "No, no, brother Shen, don't worry... I'll call you when I arrive..." Then he hung up the phone neatly.

I can't wait to throw my phone out.
