Xingchuan

Unfortunately, the next moment, the door was gently pushed open by a small hand.

"Dad... are you in there?"

Xiaoshu, who was soundly asleep, was awakened by the movement here, and rubbed his eyes to see what happened.

"Little tree, don't move there." Li Xingchuan supported the chair with one hand, fixed his scarlet eyes on Ling Yi, took a few seconds to straighten up, pushed Ling Yi away and walked towards the door.

He is still the same as before, incapable of drinking.

"Daddy hug." Xiao Shu opened his hand.

He hugged Xiaoshu with one arm, and didn't care about Ling Yi behind him.

Walking into the warm children's room, Xiaoshu put his arms around his neck, and said in a disgusted tone, "Daddy stinks."

He shrugged his nose and sniffed.

"Dad, were you fighting with your uncle just now?"

"No."

"I heard it all, did you win the battle, Dad?"

Li Xingchuan put the child on the bed, covered the quilt again, "close your eyes and sleep."

Xiaoshu pretended to close his eyes, "I'm asleep," and opened them as soon as he let go, giggling, "Dad, I lied to you!"

Li Xingchuan's frosty face finally showed a crack.

Seeing him smile, Xiao Shu gently grabbed his cuff, "Dad, didn't you say that good friends can't fight, why did you hit uncle."

"Then why are you thundering?" Li Xingchuan was born a debater.

When Xiao Shu heard this, he immediately had nothing to say!Lei Lei is his good friend, but they had more than two fights a week in the kindergarten, sometimes he won and sometimes Lei Lei won.He puffed his face and said, "Who told Lei Lei to use my paintbrush all the time? Dad bought it for me."

"Boys can't be so stingy, they must know how to share."

"But..." Xiaoshu was not convinced, and muttered for a long time before sitting up and hanging around his neck, "But I really like that box of pens, and I don't want to share it with others."

After finishing speaking, she leaned her face on his shoulder and repeated in a low voice, "Dad bought it for me."

Li Xingchuan rubbed his head: "You can't fight with Lei Lei anymore, do you hear me?"

"I heard that, the teacher asked us to hold hands." He blushed, "I have forgiven him long ago."

When the father and son said this, the door outside suddenly slammed.Xiaoshu didn't understand: "Has uncle left?"

Li Xingchuan didn't speak.

"Will he forgive Dad?"

"Kids don't care about adults' affairs."

"Will uncle come again?" Xiaoshu's worry was written on his immature face, "he promised to tell me a story."

The fawn was still trapped at the police station.

Li Xingchuan peeled off the two slender arms from his body, stuffed him back into the quilt, and did not answer the child's question until he turned off the light and left.

On Monday, after sending Xiaoshu to kindergarten, he drove to work.

Because of the early site selection, the Design Institute is located in the center of the city.Such an old small courtyard with a small area is covered with ivy in summer, and withered leaves hang snow in winter, and it is covered with silver jackets, which is incompatible with the skyscrapers of financial companies.

After parking the car in the backyard, he buttoned his cuff buttons before getting out of the car. On the road, he met many colleagues who were dressed more casually than him, and almost all of them were older than him.

Now it is a market economy. Instead of wasting time in such municipal design institutes, many young people prefer to work hard in listed real estate companies. There are not many people like him who drive good cars to earn low wages.

Because of his handsome appearance and the rigorous, responsible and pragmatic qualities of a civil man, when he first arrived, many people in the courtyard actively introduced Li Xingchuan to someone, the daughter of his niece's leader, and greeted him vigorously.He didn't bother to refuse, but picked a day to bring Xiaoshu, ate in the cafeteria with him, sat by the side and watched him draw, and told the truth when asked.Since that day, there have been far fewer door-to-door introductions to girlfriends.

However, Li Xingchuan's attraction is far more than that.The design institute is a place where academic qualifications are sought. He only has a bachelor's degree, but he was able to participate in the most prosperous military-owned airports and military-civilian integration projects in the past two years, which surprised many people.

Those who had trouble asked behind their backs, and it took a lot of effort to figure out what was going on.It turned out that this new colleague had served on the border for three years, and was awarded a second-class individual merit in the second year. After hanging up his boots, he returned to Linjiang based on his own wishes.

"Xingchuan, you're so energetic today!" A male colleague sitting near him greeted him with a thermos, "Are you going to the party tonight?"

I passed the dean's office just now and was stopped and told.Li Xingchuan nodded: "Go."

A new colleague joined the job today, and the leader proposed to have a meal at a nearby restaurant, and even reserved a seat.He had declined such a gathering many times, but this time he couldn't do it no matter what.

In the afternoon, he asked Li Wei to pick up Xiao Shu, and changed his work clothes to attend the appointment.The restaurant is about three or four kilometers away from the design institute, and three colleagues were picked up along the way.

After making the phone call in the car, the three people in the back row began to poke their heads and burn their gossip souls: "Xingchuan, you said that it is not easy for you to raise a child by yourself, but if you have to trouble your mother for anything, why don't you find someone to remarry? With your conditions, it is absolutely easy to find a stepmother for your child."

They only heard that Li Xingchuan divorced, but they didn't know the reason, and they took it for granted that their relationship broke down.

Li Xingchuan smiled lightly: "Fasten your seat belt."

There was a young girl who had been secretly in love with him for a long time, she wrung her fingers and said boldly: "Is it because the last relationship hurt you too much, so you dare not try again?"

This……

The elder sister and elder brother next to each other looked at each other, guessing that Li Xingchuan would never talk to her.

But no one expected that after a while of silence, Li Xingchuan stared at the road ahead without turning his head: "Yes."

The girl burst into tears in her heart, and felt that the man in front of her was a little more perfect—his love life was mysterious and dedicated.It's a pity that such a good man is not his own.

Li Xingchuan couldn't understand her imagination, so he said to the rearview mirror, "Xiaona, help me turn on the navigation."

She wiped away her tears and took out her mobile phone to guide the way conscientiously.When getting out of the car, Li Xingchuan went to open the door in a gentlemanly manner, and she deliberately dawdled in the last place, blushing and persuading her: "For an excellent person like you, why don't you look forward, the past is the past. "

In addition to looking forward, you can actually look around, maybe you will see her.Li Xingchuan closed the car door, and her slightly frowned brows were interpreted by her as preoccupied.

When we arrived at the restaurant, we had a very lively meal, and several senior leaders didn't put much airs on us, and kept yelling at everyone to eat and drink.Because he almost got drunk two nights ago and came here by car, Li Xingchuan didn't drink at all.

Halfway through the drink, he wanted to go out to smoke a cigarette and went outside alone.

This restaurant is a place frequented by government agencies and institutions. It looks inconspicuous from the outside, but the inside is unique, and the taste is also very good.There are many people smoking in the stairwell on weekdays, but tonight he is the only one.

It was almost dusk outside the window, he lit a cigarette, and moved the half of the mineral water bottle on the window sill to the side.

Since they broke up that night, he had no further contact with Ling Yi.Ling Yi seemed to have forgotten that he still had a service contract with him, and had neither telephone nor email correspondence.

Just like before, come and go as you want.

After smoking one, Li Xingchuan crushed the cigarette on the concrete window sill.Just as he was about to go back, the iron gate opened from the outside.

A person came out of the door, not short in stature, with strong thighs, blushing complexion, with thumbs on both sides inserted into the belt to fiddle with the position, as if he had just come out of the bathroom and started smoking again.

"belch--"

The moment he saw who he was, Li Xingchuan's feet were nailed in place, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.

The visitor hiccupped loudly, squinted his eyes and saw him, was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled meaningfully.

"I said, why are your eyelids always twitching tonight? It turns out that you are going out to meet a nobleman. Isn't this Xingchuan? What wind brought you back to Linjiang?"

In the condensed air, Li Xingchuan's pupils tightened and his face sank completely.

"Don't know me anymore?" The other party walked up to him, leaning against the wall and lifting the dark blue uniform pants.

"I know," Li Xingchuan said in a cold and slow tone, "Of course I know."

The other party snorted, took out a cigarette and lit it, and sprayed the choking smoke on his face without hesitation.

"It's my Yang Bin's honor to still know me after five years of walking."

Of course Li Xingchuan would never forget the name Yang Bin.There is a age difference of more than 20 years between the two, so logically he should be called Uncle Yang, but since the day he met, he has only had an aversion to Yang Bin.

"I heard from your mother that you were discharged from the army before, so I thought that we two brothers must meet each other no matter what. After all, fate is not shallow." Yang Bin smiled meaningfully, and said the word fate with an accent, "No, You can bump into him at any meal, what a coincidence."

Li Xingchuan remained expressionless: "You should know that I'm going to find you sooner or later."

"Oh?" Yang Bin pretended to be surprised, "What do you want me for?"

"What do you say?"

Yang Bin was leaning against the wall, smoking a cigarette with squinting eyes, his face concealed a bit of sternness: "Let me think about what the two of us could be involved in... Well... it can't be... hey..." He put the butt of the cigarette together Pulling, he grinned suddenly, "Could it be because of Ling Yi."

As soon as he heard Ling Yi's name from his mouth, Li Xingchuan's eyes became colder, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife.

"After so many years, you haven't forgotten him? No way, Xingchuan, you really surprised me."

After Yang Bin clicked his tongue twice, he was still smiling: "I didn't expect that after five years, you still haven't forgotten him! I was a little touched. Have you seen him this time? He, he—" He pretended to pause, waved his hand with the cigarette in his hand, and the smoke fluttered with his movements, "He has changed! He used to recruit more people when he was a student, but now..."

Speaking of this, he sighed again, "Why don't men still like fresh ones? No matter how good they are, they can't help but use them every day. He is really incomparable to before. To be honest, I don't care if they are all my own." To tell you the truth, I have fucked him so much these past few years... tsk tsk, I feel like throwing up! If you-"

Before he finished speaking, there was a bang, and Li Xingchuan suddenly exerted force, pressing his right elbow against his neck and pushing him against the wall!

"Cough, cough, cough!" Yang Bin's throat constricted violently, but he was not slow to react, and immediately pushed away an inch with brute force, only then was he able to catch his breath.

"Damn it..." He cursed in a low voice, looking at Li Xingchuan's angry expression, he smiled ferociously, "What's the hurry? I haven't finished talking yet. Our brothers met once after all. If you really want him, then I It's not that I can't give him to you, I'm tired of playing anyway."

In the next second, Li Xingchuan rushed forward, raised his hand and grabbed his neck tightly: "You are tired of work."

Jaws creaked, Yang Bin was pinched until his face was purple, and he raised his hands high: "Calm down, calm down, brother." After speaking, he seized a gap and made a sudden move, clamping his hands and pulling back hard. Belt—

"Touch what this is."

A cold and hard object pressed against the palm of Li Xingchuan.

"Don't be so reckless brother, my gun doesn't have eyes."

Li Xingchuan loosened his hand slightly, as if he was afraid, but when he raised his head three seconds later, a murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he had to strike first when he raised his hand!

In the blink of an eye, the two men's arms were fighting, Yang Bin shrank his body and leaned to the right, and he was able to snatch it half a second before he was equipped with a gun.

"Fuck." Yang Bin, who had escaped a few steps, finally showed his true colors, stood on the stairs, drew out his gun, and threatened his forehead: "Damn Li Xingchuan! This time I will save face for your old lady, and I won't talk to you for the time being." Care about it, and next time I will kill you with one shot!"

Li Xingchuan did not act rashly again, but there was no fear on his face.

Yang Bin accepted it as soon as he saw it, and walked away after spitting.The moment he turned around, a dark blue uniform fled behind the iron gate, but neither of them noticed.

Five minutes later, Li Xingchuan walked out of the restaurant facing the night. The moment he stepped on the accelerator, the car and the people were filled with uncontrollable anger.

"Tell me Ling Yi's address." He called Jiang Hao.
