Let go of the past

When Li Zi got up early in the morning and went to the balcony to collect his clothes, he accidentally smelled the faint fragrance of Sophora japonica in the air. He hung the clothes on his arms and looked outside the window. Sure enough, he saw a tree not far away. The lush old locust trees are spreading their branches and leaves, and they are quite lush and domineering.

During this period of time, the days passed unhurriedly. In the blink of an eye, it was mid-May. All the heavy winter clothes were put away in the closet, and they were replaced with light single clothes with long sleeves. The spring in S City is very short, so short that you can feel it Whether it has come or not, the summer heat wave is ready to go.

Li Ziqing requested a new project from BOSS some time ago, and he handles everything inside and out, all the big and small things are piled up on him, and he keeps busy, except for the work in front of him, everything else is empty.On Friday, he caught up with the internal beta version of the product release, and he stayed up all night until Saturday afternoon, when he survived several rounds of high-concurrency stress tests on the server, and he was completely relieved.

He drove home in a fog, took a shower with his eyes closed, then threw himself into bed and slept until Sunday morning.

Since Li Ziqing graduated from university, he has lost the habit of sleeping late. His biological clock is as regular as an alarm clock. Except for being bullied by Ji Bing on the bed in the past few years, although he can't get up while lying down, his consciousness is still awake. .

He was lying on the bed, limp and weak, as if he had been run over by a millstone, his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't lift them up, but his hearing was particularly sensitive.

He listened to Ji Bing getting up, taking a shower, walking around the room, making a phone call in a low voice, he was like a spectator, the other party lived a life that had nothing to do with him, only the mutual torture between the beds, Maintain the last bit of false affection.

How long does it take for a heart to go from hot to desolate?

In fact, a moment is enough, and the subsequent repetitions are nothing but self-paralyzed dying struggles.

The doorbell rang, and Li Ziqing stepped on the wooden floor, crossed the small living room, walked to the door and opened it.

"Happy birthday, big birthday star." Xiao Kaicheng hugged his daughter, grinning brightly, and standing beside him was his wife, who was only as tall as his shoulders. The mature and gentle Su Mei.

"Ziqing." Su Mei held her satchel in both hands, and stood beside Xiao Kaicheng, with a clear and shallow smile on her lips. She was completely different from her in high school.Love and marriage can really completely reshape a person, but they have to take great risks. Fortunately, Su Mei's good luck found someone who made her not regret this change.

"I haven't seen you for more than a year, and you are still the same," Su Mei couldn't hide the sadness and sigh, "You are thin, and you can't let go of your heart."

Li Ziqing turned sideways to let the person into the room. During this period, the daughter of the Xiao family waved her little hands vigorously, pulled out half of her small body familiarly, and rushed towards Li Ziqing's direction.

"Our daughter is really up to you." Xiao Kaicheng turned his head and winked at Su Mei and said, "You are Ziqing's little fan girl."

How could Li Ziqing dare to disobey the little beauty, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pick it up, but was stopped by Su Mei on the way, glared at his daughter, and said to Li Ziqing: "She is making a fuss, you who have been up all night and weak Liu Fufeng, or Let Lao Xiao hug you."

Li Ziqing smiled helplessly: "I'm a big man anyway, can't I even hug a child?"

"You also know that you are a big man," Su Mei couldn't hold back the words in her heart, and when she looked at Li Ziqing's appearance, her chest was filled with depression, "If you don't find a girl to marry and live, why can't you figure it out? , do you have to let Ji Bing spoil you like this?"

"Su Mei!" Xiao Kaicheng frowned, and the baby in his arms who was having fun in his arms was frightened, his big round eyes filled with tears instantly, and his small mouth drooped vigorously, wanting to cry or not It looks so pitiful.

Li Ziqing hugged Xiao Kaicheng's daughter from Xiao Kaicheng's arms, and said lightly to the two who were still standing at the entrance: "Come in first."

Su Mei came back to her senses, knowing that she had made a slip of the tongue, she looked at Xiao Kaicheng in annoyance and guilt, Xiao Kaicheng sighed, put his arms around her shoulders, and half pushed them into the living room.

A layer of fluffy cushions was spread around the sofa in the living room, and the coffee table and the corners of the table were covered with transparent silicone protective covers. Xiao Kaicheng put the souvenirs he brought on the coffee table, and then glanced around heartily. Tsk tut twice: "You are so careful, you are a better wife and mother than Su Mei."

Su Mei pretended to snort at the side, and then said: "If you say this about others, I will definitely be anxious with you, but if you say it about Ziqing, I am not only not anxious, but I also want to give you a compliment."

"One like is enough, at least 32 likes." Xiao Kaicheng walked to the sofa and sat down carelessly, stretched out his hand and said to Li Ziqing: "Give it to me, this little guy is really rambunctious."

Xiao Xiaoxiao didn't know what she was having fun with, her small body wobbled, she stretched out her chubby arms and leaned over to throw herself on Xiao Kaicheng again, Li Ziqing handed the child to him again, turned around and walked to the kitchen, casually Ask them both: "What would you like to drink? Tea or coffee?"

"Let's have tea." Xiao Kaicheng rubbed his protruding belly, "I've eaten a lot of meat recently, so I'm going to scrape off the oil."

Just as Su Mei's butt touched the sofa, she immediately stood up again and said to Li Ziqing, "Let me help you."

"No need." Li Ziqing paused, turned to her and said, "Sit down, the TV remote is in the drawer under the coffee table."

When Li Ziqing's figure disappeared at the kitchen door, Su Mei turned back, sat down next to Xiao Kaicheng, leaned into his ear and asked cautiously, "Ziqing and Ji Bing really broke up this time?"

"Probably." Xiao Kaicheng guessed, "They all moved out."

Su Mei was hesitant to speak, Xiao Kaicheng stopped his daughter's little arm that was about to scratch her mother's face, and said thoughtfully: "Tell me what you want to say first, don't be like just now, you will be bald without using your brain." Come out. The matter between Ziqing and Ji Bing has been going on for so many years, can you understand it in a few words?"

"I know..." Su Mei murmured: "I just feel sorry for Ziqing. He is so powerful and good-looking. If he casually posts his resume on a dating website, there must be many outstanding girls who are thinking of him. You say that in the world There are so many roads, why did he choose the most difficult one?"

"Like a person drinking water, he knows whether he is warm or not." Xiao Kaicheng summed it up in one word, and lightly patted Su Mei's arm, "Stop talking."

Li Ziqing held the saucer, filled three cups of tea out, went to the sofa and put them down one by one, straightened up and asked Su Mei and the others: "Do you want to make milk powder for Xiaoxiao?"

"No, I just drank it this morning." Xiao Kaicheng pointed to the sofa, "Sit down, let's chat."

Su Mei found the remote control, turned on the TV, randomly selected a channel as the background sound, then took a sip from the teacup, and exclaimed in surprise: "It smells so good, what kind of tea is this?"

"Songzhong Dancong from Chaozhou." Li Ziqing replied with a smile, "I have two cans at home. If you like it, you can take one back when you leave. I don't usually drink these."

"Yo, then I'll be rude." Xiao Kaicheng said with a smile.

Su Mei slapped Xiao Kaicheng on the thigh, then turned to Li Ziqing and said, "This tea is very expensive. A colleague of mine sells tea in a micro-business. I saw it posted in his Moments. It costs hundreds of thousands per catty."

Xiao Kaicheng's eyes widened in disbelief, Xiao Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to put his chubby hand on his face, he still opened his mouth wide as if he could swallow an egg, stared at the teacup in front of him as if he was looking at gold, and stammered and asked: "Really... ...Really...hundreds of thousands?"

"I don't know." Li Ziqing shook his head with a smile, and said lightly, "It's Ji Bing's. I bought something when I moved away from him. I thought tea must be more expensive. It seems that there is no Wrong guess."

Xiao Kaicheng & Su Mei: "..."

The two looked at each other for a moment. They originally wanted to avoid the topic of Ji Bing, but they didn't expect the person involved to bring it up first. In this case, Su Mei stopped holding back and opened the skylight to speak bluntly: "Ziqing, I have always Say whatever you want, Lao Xiao asked me not to say so much before coming here, but I don’t think so.” She slowly put away her smile, her tone was serious and solemn: “You don’t have many friends, since you were in school, you’ve never had many friends. After graduating and working, after so many years, I only knew that I was devoted to Ji Bing, but I didn't expect such a result in the end. If we don't talk about how much you have paid and how much you have lost, you will feel wronged and sad , but where should I pour it?"

Xiao Kaicheng watched Li Ziqing's pale face, pinched Su Mei's thigh anxiously, but she slapped her away, and said sharply, "Don't touch me."

After yelling at Xiao Kaicheng, she turned her head, the expression on her face was uncontrollable for a moment, full of deep sadness and sorrow: "I liked Ji Bing very much at that time, who wouldn't like it, he is like a fairy who came out of a novel Character. Good character, good looks, rich and powerful family, the most important thing is that despite all external conditions, his own ability is also very good, as if carefully polished by God, standing in the crowd will shine The kind." She lowered her head and stared at the teacup in front of her, "But I didn't like it after a while, because I found a person who was a thousand times better than Ji Bing, but that person never I don't know. Ji Bing's light is cold, at least for outsiders like us, at that time I suddenly found out that you two were together, I just..." She choked up, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth, Xiao Kaicheng from Pulled out a tissue from the coffee table and handed it to her, Su Mei took it and pressed it on her eyes, after a while, she raised her head again, her eyes were red, but her expression had calmed down, she looked at Li Ziqing and continued: "I am really shocked, not only I'm shocked that you two are gay, and what's more, I'm afraid that if you stay with Ji Bing, sooner or later, you will be frostbitten by his light."

"Li Ziqing," Su Mei's eyes filled with tears again, she looked sadly at the silent Li Ziqing, and asked him, "How far have you been frostbitten? Will you still love Ji Bing again?" A brand new person?"
