Sediment rises

At ten o'clock in the evening, Lin Congxuan sat at the dining table and waited for Chen Zui.

He usually waits like this, but he won't wait until so late like today. Usually he will make dinner at 07:30, and then wait until eight o'clock.

If Chen Zui came back before eight o'clock, they would have dinner together and then do their own things.

If Chen Mo didn't get home by eight o'clock, he would have a good meal alone, then wash up and go to work in the room, and go to bed on time at eleven o'clock.

In fact, in a week, Chen Zui would go home before eight o'clock only one day, but the day was not fixed, so Lin Congxuan always sat alone in the restaurant and waited until eight o'clock.

Such days repeated for three years.

Lin Congxuan is very stupid, with a very long reflex arc. He has been married to Chen Zui for three years. It is only today that he realizes that Chen Zui probably doesn't like him.

After getting married, Chen Zuo always had a sullen face and never saw a smile.For this reason, Lin Congxuan was very distressed. He was clumsy and could not say something interesting to make Chen the happiest.

Once, he saw something on TV saying that every man hopes to have a table of warm meals waiting for him when he returns home from work all day, so that he will feel surrounded by happiness.So, Lin Congxuan bought a lot of recipes, learned for several months, burned several pans and cut his fingers countless times, and finally he was able to cook a table of good dishes.

It's a pity that the table of warm meals prepared by Lin Congxuan failed to wait for Chen Zui, who was on a business trip.

Three days later, Chen Zui returned home from a business trip and finally ate warm food. Lin Congxuan stared at Chen Zui with bright eyes, hoping to see a little smile from the corner of his mouth.Unfortunately, the corners of Chen Zui's mouth were still straight, and he was still unhappy.

Lin Congxuan learned to tidy up and store again. Every day he would tidy up the house in an orderly manner, but Chen Zui was still unhappy.

Later, Lin Congxuan learned how to grow flowers. He planted flowers and plants in the yard, which are fragrant all year round.

He also learned how to make desserts, and would make some exquisite cookies and put them in the most conspicuous position at home.

But Chen Zui never lingers on the fragrance of plants and trees in the courtyard, and he never eats the cookies made in the shape of a lamb on the table.

In short, Lin Congxuan tried his best to make Chen the happiest.It wasn't until today that he broke into Chen Zui's room by mistake, and Lin Congxuan realized that maybe he was the source of Chen Zui's unhappiness.

He and Chen Zui lived in a villa complex in the suburbs. Recently, two little wild cats ran into the community. They probably liked the flowers and plants in his yard very much. They licked each other's hair and basked in the sun every day in his garden with their bellies open.

Lin Congxuan liked them very much, but Chen didn't like pets the most, he couldn't keep them, but he would go to the yard to feed these two kittens every day.

This afternoon, he brought a bowl of boiled and shredded chicken breast to the garden to feed the cats. Suddenly, a big green grasshopper the size of half a palm popped out from the flowers, and the two wild cats rushed into the house in shock.

Lin Congxuan went all the way from downstairs to the second floor, only to find that the door of Chen Zui's room was opened a crack, and two cats were meowing softly in the room.

He lingered outside the door, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the door.Chen disliked others entering his room the most, but he probably disliked stray cats entering his room and leaving a bed of cat fur.

The two kittens were huddled at the foot of the bed, screaming in fright.Lin Congxuan imitated the cat's meowing sound to comfort the kitten, and slowly stretched out his hand to lift the kitten's neck and quickly led them away from the crime scene.

After the cat was settled, Lin Congxuan sneaked back to Chen Zui's room.He originally wanted to restore the messed things to their original state and wipe the floor, so that Chen Zui wouldn't find out that someone had entered his room.After he finished cleaning, his feet seemed to have taken root and he couldn't move - this was the first time he had entered Chen Zui's room.

Although they were married, Chen Zui lived separately from him since they moved into this house.Chen most gentlemanly gave up the more convenient and comfortable first floor to Lin Congxuan, while he lived on the second floor by himself. Chen didn't like others invading his space the most, and expressly forbade Lin Congxuan from entering his room.

The only space he and Chen Zui can get together is the living room and dining room, but Chen Zui never stays for more than 10 minutes, so the time they can get together is the day when Chen Zui comes home before 10:[-], and they can have a quiet meal in the restaurant The meal sat for [-] minutes.

Lin Congxuan was actually a little scared in his heart, he was afraid that Chen Zui would be angry if he found himself in his room.But this room is too tempting, everywhere is filled with Chen Zui's breath, Lin Congxuan took a deep breath, trying to save this breath, so that he can take it out from memory from time to time and sniff it secretly before putting it back.

Squeezing the clean towel in his hand, Lin Congxuan thought that I was here to help the kitten deal with the crime scene, and I didn't walk in on purpose. Thinking this way, he would not be so scared.

Like a kid stealing a sugar bowl, he checked the door to make sure there was no one there, then slowly squatted down on the ground, buried his face in the flat quilt, and smelled the faint scent of mint There is also a hint of sandalwood.

He didn't turn his head until his fair face was flushed with satisfaction, and then his eyes met the photo frame and the photo on the bedside table—an old photo was sandwiched in a square photo frame with a gilded branch-shaped frame, which was two teenager.

Lin Congxuan approached slowly and picked it up lightly. He was familiar with this photo but seemed a little strange.He frowned and thought about it seriously before he remembered that he also had this photo. He was afraid that Chen would be unhappy when he saw it, so he put it in the album.

His photo is a bit different from Chen Zui's. The photo of him shows three people, with Chen Zui on the far left, Yu Cong in the middle, and 17-year-old Lin Congxuan on the far right.In the photo, Lin Congxuan smiled happily, Yu Cong had a serious expression, and Chen Zui put his left hand on Yu Cong's shoulder helplessly as if to comfort him.

This photo was taken at Chen Zui and Yu Cong's school eight years ago, and that day was their high school graduation ceremony.Lin Congxuan was arguing that he must take a photo with them, and the driver, Uncle Zhao, acted as the photographer, so this photo was taken, one for each of the three of them.

But Chen Zui only had himself and Yu Cong in this photo.

Lin Congxuan took a closer look, only to find that part of Chen Zui's photo had been torn off. He tore it skillfully. The two pieces are put together again.Although the splicing is very good, but when you get closer, you can still see a little white paper fringe and the narrowing teaching building behind the three of them.

There was a dense cramping pain in his chest, Lin Congxuan knew that he was a little different from normal people, but he was not stupid.He knew that putting the photo on the bedside meant that the owner missed and valued it very much, just like his father put his mother's photo in his wallet.

Lin Congxuan's mother died when he was five years old. At that time, he had no idea about death. Once he asked his father why he put a picture of his mother in his wallet.Dad said at the time, because my mother would be very scared and lonely lying on the ground alone, so we have to bring my mother with me and let her know that we will always miss her and love her, so that she will not be afraid.

Therefore, Chen most also hopes that Yu Cong who is lying on the ground will not be afraid, and put him on the bedside, so that Yu Cong knows that he will always miss him and love him, is that so?

Lin Congxuan sat in Chen Zui's room in a daze for several hours, and he figured out many things that he couldn't figure out at once.

In the past, although Chen Zui didn't like to talk, he often laughed, but since Yu Cong's death, he didn't laugh anymore.

Every year on the day of Yu Cong's memorial day, Chen Zuo would always get drunk and lock himself in the room for a whole day.

Although Chen Zui was married to him, he slept separately from him. The two lived on the first floor, and they were clearly separated.

There are many, many things that Lin Congxuan's head hurts from thinking about.
