Who says support can't carry

[Special episode. The 16-year itch]

①

A girl with twin ponytails is holding a book and looking towards the lake, and a man is sitting by the lake, sitting a little lazily, half leaning on the stone chair, swaying his feet slightly, with a stick in his mouth There is no lit smoke.

The girl with twin ponytails seemed to muster up a lot of courage and walked forward, getting closer and closer until the man's side face was completely displayed in front of her, a soft and somewhat peaceful side face.

"Ms. Liu..."

The man looked back, he was not a man of heaven, when he smiled, there were obvious nasolabial folds, but his smile was like a spring breeze, and the girl's heart beat even more violently.

"Is there something wrong? Student Guo?" Liu Shiyu put the cigarette in his mouth into his pocket.

Guo Tingting's cheeks became more and more red, and he hesitated, "I...I..."

Liu Shiyu sat a little to the side, patted the stone chair, "Sit down, if you need anything, you can talk to the teacher." After speaking, he sneered in his heart, he couldn't handle his own affairs well, and he was still helping others.

"Is Teacher Liu in a bad mood?" Guo Tingting sat down nervously, secretly looking at the man next to her.

Liu Shiyu didn't know how to answer when he heard the words.

"Because recently the teacher didn't rush home after class, but would sit here until night." Guo Tingting pointed to his pocket, "I watched you want to light that cigarette in your pocket, but No points again. Your class is not as humorous as before. So..."

"So you think I'm in a bad mood?" Liu Shiyu asked.

"Hmm." Guo Tingting continued boldly, "Teacher, can you tell me what happened?"

Liu Shiyu sighed, "I remember that you seem to be a psychology major. Since that's the case, you can guess what happened to me."

Guo Tingting put the book on her lap, "Is it because of your significant other?"

Liu Shiyu raised his eyebrows, "How do you know?"

"Because...you didn't wear a ring today." Guo Tingting said.

Liu Shiyu raised his right hand, saw that there was already a small circle of ring marks on his ring finger, and smiled wryly, "You're so smart~"

Guo Tingting raised her head and asked in a low voice, "Can the teacher talk to me?"

"There seems to be some problems in my relationship with him..." Liu Shiyu's voice was not high, even a little low.

"Cheated??"

Liu Shiyu shook his head, "No."

"Then how long have you been together?"

Liu Shiyu raised his head, his expression was a little empty, "Probably... 16 years..."

Guo Tingting was obviously a little surprised by this answer, after all...Liu Shiyu was young, only in his early thirties.There are many men who don't even have a family at the age of 30, and Liu Shiyu has been with his lover for 16 years!I guess they've been together since middle school or high school.

"We've been together since we were teenagers."

Sure enough, Guo Tingting thought, "Then what happened to make you look so tired?"

"Maybe... the feeling has faded... right..."

Feeling faded?

Guo Tingting was very puzzled by this reason.

They have been together since they were teenagers, and they persisted at the most impulsive and changeable age, but now they are 16 years old, but they say that their relationship has faded?

"Is there some misunderstanding?"

②

Liu Shiyu left the school with Guo Tingting's question and walked alone on the street, not the way home.

What misunderstanding happened with Si Jin?

No.

Nor is it possible.

When we are together every day, how can there be such things as misunderstanding?

It's just that I don't feel any emotion...

Maybe it's my own problem too.

It was because the car broke down that day, so Si Jin took the bus to work.

It rained suddenly around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Liu Shiyu was worried that Si Jin would go home in the rain, so he asked a neighbor to borrow a car to go to Yu's to pick him up.

Since the garage was full, Liu Shiyu could only park outside and enter the company with an umbrella.

But who knows, as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Si Jin coming out of the Yu family's door, his smile had just bloomed, but the person he saw in the next second froze on his lips.

It was a very beautiful, gentle and generous looking woman.

She followed Si Jin with a sweet smile, but Si Jin didn't say much.

Liu Shiyu suddenly felt that something was wrong with him, and actually made up the picture of Si Jin and that beautiful woman forming a family.

Liu Shiyu knew very well in his heart that that woman was just Si Jin's partner, but some shady things still sprouted in his heart.

He went home alone without telling Si Jin that he had been there.

When the food was ready, there was a sound of unlocking the door.

Si Jin is back.

I don't know how to face him.

"Shi Yu, I'm back."

Sitting at the dinner table, as usual.

"Shi Yu, will the students be making trouble today?" Si Jin seemed very hungry and was in a hurry to eat.

Liu Shiyu put vegetables in his bowl, "Eat slowly, no one will grab you. Did you get wet?"

Holding the bowl, Si Jin stretched his arms and twisted his body, "Look, I'm completely dry. I didn't get wet."

"Did that beauty send you back?" Liu Shiyu said, seeing Si Jin's hand holding the chopsticks pause for a moment.

"Have you gone to the company?" Si Jin put down his chopsticks and asked.

Liu Shiyu nodded and said with a smile: "I wanted to pick you up. But I saw a beautiful woman by your side, so I came back."

"She is my client. The next time you go to the company, call me or come to my office directly. The front desk knows you. Don't wait outside." Si Jin's tone was quite flat, as if it was nothing serious, Liu Shiyu also knew that this was really not a problem.

"I know. It's just pretty." After Liu Shiyu finished speaking, he took a piece of braised pork and stretched it out in front of Si Jin. When Si Jin opened his mouth, he immediately turned and put it in his own mouth, "Hahaha. Eat it quickly. More Eat some. You haven't gained any flesh since Yu Tian caught you."

"Aren't you naive? You're in your thirties."

The whole process of eating was fine, but after eating, something happened.

In the middle of the intimacy, Liu Shiyu felt that the matter was indeed a bit serious.

"What's the matter? Are you tired today?" Si Jin asked in surprise.

Liu Shiyu looked down at his younger brother who was still limp, and was inexplicably agitated. He pushed away Si Jin, pulled up the quilt and turned aside, "Why don't you go to bed at night. Maybe you're a little tired."

Si Jin took a deep look at Liu Shiyu before turning around and going to the bathroom to express his desire.

What's the matter?

Liu Shiyu didn't know.

Just because of that woman?

This is impossible.

He and Si Jin have been together for 16 years. He knows what kind of person Si Jin is, and he and that woman will have nothing to do.

But why did it suddenly wither?

unknown.

For the next month or so, it was like this every time they made out, and now even Si Jin felt that something was wrong.

After doing this again, the two lay naked on the bed, looking at the ceiling together.

"Time Feather..."

"Ok?"

"What's the matter with you recently?"

Liu Shiyu's eyes were dull, "I don't know either."

Si Jin was a little worried, "Let's... go to the hospital tomorrow..."

"It's all right. It'll be fine. Besides, you're so busy with work."

Sex-life is not harmonious, and there is more or less an inexplicable gap between the two.

Si Jin went to work as usual the next day. There was no school today, and Liu Shiyu stayed at home alone.

As for the recent incident, Liu Shiyu went to see a psychiatrist after thinking about it.

"When did it start?"

"A month and a half ago."

"Because of what? Or what happened suddenly?"

"do not know."

"Then tell me in detail everything that happened that day."

Liu Shiyu recounted the events of that day from beginning to end. The doctor lowered his head and kept writing and drawing in the notebook, but he couldn't see what he was writing.

"You see your lover standing with someone you think is better, so there's resistance in you."

Liu Shiyu retorted, "No, no. We have been together for 16 years, and I believe he will not have any improper relationship with that woman."

"There's only one explanation for all this, and you don't believe in yourself."

Liu Shiyu looked at the psychiatrist's determined expression, but did not speak.

"You think he can have a better life. He's just like you...a man."

Liu Shiyu was not surprised at all, because he kept talking about his lover instead of his wife.

Coming out of the psychological consultation room, Liu Shiyu didn't go home directly, but walked around outside for a long time, and at 05:30 in the afternoon, he was slowly preparing to go home.

Before getting on the bus, the phone rang.

It's Si Jin.

"Hello~"

"I won't go home for dinner tonight. I have a dinner. You cook something yourself. I might go back late. Don't wait for me. Go to bed early. You have to go to class tomorrow."

"it is good."

Si Jin didn't go home for dinner, so naturally he didn't have to rush back to cook.

Thinking about it, Liu Shiyu ran to the movie theater by himself, bought a ticket, and went in to watch the movie alone.

It's a youth romance film, about the hero and heroine who were together when they were teenagers. After they got married, they spent their original passion in the ordinary life of oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea every day, and finally chose to break up.

Sitting next to Liu Shiyu was a couple, they were whispering.

"We must not be like this in the future." The girl cried miserably, sniffling and saying.

The boy said softly: "No."

Every young couple has a beautiful vision for the future, and Liu Shiyu was no exception.

He also thought about opening a small shop with Si Jin, and asking people to watch him when he got on the track, and traveling around the world with Si Jin. To keep warm, you can stretch your feet into Si Jin's arms to ice him.

But all this is delusional.

Si Jin's work in Yu's is flourishing day by day.

For Liu Shiyu now, maybe this is the answer he has been looking for these days.

Feeling faded, not as inseparable as before.

Oh no, they were really separated before, and they were separated for several years.

a long long time ago......

Si Jin is excellent and should indeed lead a more normal life.

③

I wandered around Zhongshan Street for a long time, looking for something to fill my belly, watching old people playing chess in the street park, and didn't remember to go home until eleven o'clock in the evening.

"Too bad. Xiao Jin doesn't know..." When he took out his mobile phone to make a call, Liu Shiyu remembered that Si Jin said that he would come home late at night, "I almost forgot."

The last bus had already passed, and Liu Shiyu called a taxi.

It's better to go home before Si Jin comes home.

When I got home, the corridor was very dark, probably because the sensor light was broken.

I got on the elevator, and when I got home, there was some light through the crack of the door.

Si Jin is back.

Open the door and go in.

"Didn't you...didn't you say you'd be back later?" Liu Shiyu asked unexpectedly, looking at the people watching TV in the living room.

Si Jin took the remote control and turned it around several times. It could be seen that he was very impatient. This was a side that he had rarely seen for so many years.

"Where did you go at night?" Si Jin's voice was very low, much lower than usual, but it couldn't hide the slight tremor in his voice.

"I went out for a stroll. It's been a long time since I went shopping." Liu Shiyu walked over to Si Jin and sat down.

Because Si Jin is really busy at Yu's, and sometimes he takes his work home and works overtime on Saturdays and Sundays. They haven't had a good time to relax and play for about two or three years.

"I'll be back right after the dinner. I thought you were at home." Si Jin still pressed the remote control aimlessly, the screen went black and then bright, making people uncomfortable.

"Oh..." Liu Shiyu raised his head and closed his eyes, feeling very tired.

Both of them fell silent, only the occasional sound from the TV set in the whole living room, which was so quiet that it made people panic.

After a long time, a sigh broke the silence.

Si Jin raised his hand and stroked Liu Shiyu's hair, "Shi Yu, when we met officially for the first time, you touched my hair like this."

Liu Shiyu nodded, he would never forget, "When we first separated, you touched my hair like this."

Si Jin withdrew his hand with a chuckle, took two cigarettes from the table, handed one to Liu Shiyu, and lit it.

Smoke instantly filled the entire living room.

"We have been together until today, a full 16 years." Liu Shiyu said.

"Yeah...it's been 16 years before I knew it..." Si Jin put out the cigarette, reached out to touch Liu Shiyu's face, slowly moved closer, and gently touched it with his lips.

Liu Shiyu didn't resist Si Jin's approach, his body was already used to Si Jin's kisses and touches.

But the result was still the same. At the critical moment, Liu Shiyu didn't respond like a pot of cold water was poured on Si Jin.

Si Jin lay on Liu Shiyu's body with his chin resting on his shoulder, and the two of them lay naked on the sofa in the living room.

"What happened?" Si Jin asked in a low voice.

Liu Shiyu looked at the somewhat old chandelier on the ceiling. He and Si Jingang bought this house. When they were renovating, they went to Europe to buy it. It can still be used for more than ten years. He loves it.

"Xiao Jin, look at this chandelier, it's getting old." Liu Shiyu said.

"It still works."

"But its light is not as warm as it was when I first bought it."

Si Jin didn't answer any more, the air froze for an instant, and there were only two breaths left, heavy and light.

So quiet that Liu Shiyu thought that Si Jin would not speak again...

"Does Shi Yu not like me anymore..." Si Jin asked suddenly, and Liu Shiyu was caught off guard by the question he asked, and he didn't know how to answer it.

"Why did you ask so?"

Liu Shiyu felt the ring finger of his right hand being gently stroked, and an all-too-familiar voice sounded beside his ear, "You took off your ring."

4

Don't like it?

No, I still like it.

Liu Shiyu didn't think there would be another person who could give him the same feeling as Si Jin.

He thought, if someone was like Si Jin, who didn't even eat three meals without being reminded, who was obsessed with work all day long, and who was angry and needed to be coaxed by a man who chased him, he would refuse without hesitation.

There is no reason, Si Jin is Si Jin, and no one can replace him.

Even though Liu Shiyu felt that the relationship had faded now.

In the end, Si Jin didn't get an answer to this question.

It was also from that day that Liu Shiyu realized that something had really changed between them.

Si Jin often worked overtime until midnight before returning home.

Liu Shiyu also stayed very late at school before going home.

After returning home, the two said a few words and went to bed, and the cycle repeated.

Just like there is a very popular saying, the most familiar stranger.

Liu Shiyu felt that he and Si Jin were like this now.

⑤

After thinking for a while and walking around, Liu Shiyu thought to himself, Guo Tingting's question is really a joke.

Misunderstand?How could there be a misunderstanding?It's just that the emotion has faded.

After wandering around all night, when he returned home, what was waiting for him was still an empty and lonely room.

Lying alone on the bed with the quilt in his arms, Liu Shiyu thought, it's time to go outside and reconsider his relationship with Si Jin.

Si Jin came back in the middle of the night smelling of alcohol, and was sent back by the beauty earlier.

"Hello! I'm Li Na. You are Brother Jin's roommate. I often hear him mention you."

Liu Shiyu looked at the hand stretched out in front of him, and shook it politely, "Hello!" After taking Si Jin, Liu Shiyu really wanted Li Na to go out. Even Yu Tian and Si Jin wouldn't let him in this family. Girl, what qualifications do you have to come in?

"Leave it to me, Xiao Jin. Be careful on the road!" Liu Shiyu felt that he had made it very obvious, but someone just pretended to be stupid.

Li Na passed Liu Shiyu, entered the house, looked around, stopped at the corner where some dolls were placed, and said disgustedly: "What kind of taste is this? How can a man in his thirties like this kind of thing that children like."

A trace of disgust flashed in Liu Shiyu's eyes, "Please respect yourself, young lady." It was as uncomfortable as if the most beloved thing was stained by some dirt.

Li Na didn't seem to notice it, "Brother Jin mentioned you to me. Thank you for taking care of him for me."

Take care of Xiao Jin for her? ! ! ! !

Liu Shiyu sneered from between his teeth, where did this woman find the courage to speak like that?Is it Liang Jingru?

Originally, he considered that this woman was Si Jin's client and could not cause trouble, but now he felt that there was no need to bear with such a shameless woman.

After dragging and pulling Li Na out, Liu Shiyu leaned against the door and panted.

This is the first time, the first time he has been so rude to a woman.

Walking back to the bedroom, looking at Si Jin who was lying on the bed already drunk and unconscious, there was an inexplicable fire in his heart that could not be released.

"It's okay to provoke messy people outside, but I want Lao Tzu to deal with the aftermath!!!"

Cursing a few words in a low voice, he found that Si Jin was frowning and seemed a little uncomfortable, so Liu Shiyu took a clean towel and dipped it in water to help him wipe his face.

"Why do you work so hard all day? It's not that you don't have enough money. Can't you spend more time with me..."

Suddenly, Si Jin uttered a few babbles in his sleep, and Liu Shiyu barely heard it clearly when he leaned close to his ear, "Mr. Li...this project..."

Even when he was drunk, he was thinking about his work.

Maybe...work is everything to him...

Maybe... I shouldn't be a stumbling block in his way...

How long...how long have they not been able to travel again...

Maybe.....it's not necessary anymore...

Liu Shiyu put away the towel, turned around to open the suitcase, and packed some clothes.

After tidying up, Liu Shiyu sat by the bed and stared at the man on the bed.

"Xiao Jin..."

The man on the bed moved his body as if he heard someone calling him, but he never opened his eyes.

Liu Shiyu took out an exquisite small box from the bedside drawer, and there was already a ring in it, which was originally worn on Liu Shiyu's ring finger.

Feelings of reluctance are spreading....

"Xiao Jin...I'm sorry..."

Put the box beside the bed, tuck the quilt for Si Jin, Liu Shiyu picked up the suitcase, and left without slowing down for a moment.

⑥

"Yuanyuan, what delicious food did you cook today?"

Liu Shiyu, who was awakened by the smell of the food, walked to the kitchen following the smell, and saw Cao Yuan thinking about it with a frying pan, "Okay! There are new tricks to this cooking."

More than ten years have passed, but Cao Yuan seems to be stuck in the past, with the same straight face, if the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes didn't betray him when he smiled, Liu Shiyu really wanted to say that time has no eyes, why he only destroyed himself.

"Otherwise, Ming would be too lazy to eat."

Cao Yuan and Jian Ming partnered to open a studio. They had been losing money in the past few years, but the business has been booming in the past few years. Jian Ming found a master from nowhere and handed over the full power of the studio to him. It's a lot of fun.

Liu Shiyu said: "Jian Ming is really cool."

After Liu Shiyu washed up, he simply stayed in the kitchen to help Cao Yuan. After a while, the food was officially served.

"You came to our place, does Brother Jin know?" Cao Yuan asked.

Jian Ming saw Liu Shiyu stop his hands for a moment, turned his head and glared at Cao Yuan, and got three question marks from Cao Yuan.

Jian Ming: "..."

"He's busy with work, so he probably just thought I was home. No problem."

Liu Shiyu's tone was flat, while Jian Ming frowned.

After dinner, Liu Shiyu went downstairs for a walk.

Jian Ming and Cao Yuan sat in the living room, staring at the phone in a daze.

"You fight." Cao Yuan said.

"You fight." Jian Ming said.

Cao Yuan picked up the phone and threw it into Jian Ming's arms, "I don't care, just call."

Jian Ming sighed helplessly, "Then I'll call."

After the call was made, it was quickly picked up.

"Hey!"

On the speakerphone, Cao Yuan said, "Brother Jin, it's me."

Si Jin said, "I know it's you."

"Pfft~~" Jian Ming couldn't hold back for a while, and wanted to laugh out loud, but Cao Yuan got a bunch of blank eyes, and quickly retracted, "Ahem ~ Shi Yu is here with us. What's wrong with you?"

"That's right! Brother Shiyu looks very strange these days." Cao Yuan said.

Si Jin was silent for a while before opening his mouth, "I am causing you trouble."

"It's okay. It's just that Brother Shi Yu took off the ring too?" Cao Yuan thought of the ring mark on Liu Shiyu's right ring finger.

When Jian Ming heard this, he almost wanted to stuff Cao Yuan's head into the toilet.

Si Jin said: "Probably...he doesn't want it..."

don't want what?

ring?

Or... the meaning of the ring...

After hanging up the phone, Jian Ming and Cao Yuan looked at each other, and from the eyes of each other, it seemed that this time something was a bit big.

"What should we do? Shall we help them?" Cao Yuan was nervous.

Jian Ming shook his head, "Only they can help themselves."

⑦

One month later, I returned to Beijing.

Liu Shiyu was not in a hurry to go back, but went to the school first. Originally, he wanted to go to the dean to sell a vacation.

When I passed the exclusive classroom where I was attending class, I unexpectedly heard the sound of lectures coming from it.

"For this subject, talent is only a stepping stone. For those who have achieved success, genius is only a qualification to challenge them..."

The closer he got, the clearer his voice became. Liu Shiyu walked gently to the back door of the classroom and looked inside, sure enough.

Man in a suit and tie standing on a podium.

Secretary Jin.

Why is he here?

Liu Shiyu only glanced at it, then turned around and went to the dean's office through another road.

knock knock...

"Please come in."

"Director Li."

Director Li's hair is very thin, and the beard on his chin has a very unique shape, "Shi Yu is back. Come, come, sit."

Liu Shiyu sat down opposite him, "Director Li, someone else took my class?"

Director Li was a little surprised, "What? Isn't that your friend? Before you asked for leave, he said he would help you with the class. That's why we let you take leave for so long. Otherwise, what will the students do if you take two months off?"

Hearing this, ripples appeared in Liu Shiyu's calm heart.

Coming out of the office, Liu Shiyu did not leave the school, but stood quietly downstairs in the teaching building.

The school bell rang.

The students walked by one by one.

"Miss Liu, you are back."

"Hello, Teacher Liu!"

The students greeted each other warmly.

Until he saw Si Jin coming out of the building.

"Xiao Jin..."

When Si Jin saw Liu Shiyu, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face. He turned and walked towards him, quickening his pace, "You're back. Isn't it two months?"

Liu Shiyu stared blankly at the person in front of him, "Xiao Jin, you..."

There are many things I want to ask.

Why did you come to school to help him substitute?

Have you taken care of yourself this month?

Is it because of my diet that I lost so much weight?

Since when did you know you were going to ask for leave and go out for a walk?

However, none of them asked.

⑧

When he got home, Liu Shiyu saw that the whole house was in a mess, the balcony was full of clothes, there were a lot of documents on the sofa, and the entire floor was covered with scraps of paper, takeaway boxes, and instant noodle buckets, and he couldn't laugh or cry.

Si Jin grabbed his slightly long hair, a little embarrassed, "I'll call the housekeeper right away to tidy it up."

Liu Shiyu stopped him, "I'm not here, so you just eat takeaway and sleep in the garbage dump?"

Si Jin walked in and picked up the documents on the sofa table, "Because I'm busy with work. You're not here when I get home."

Liu Shiyu walked across the living room to the balcony with 'difficulty', "Did you wash your underwear separately from your clothes?"

Looking back and seeing Si Jin's indescribable expression, he knew it was gone, Liu Shiyu sighed, "I'm convinced."

It took Liu Shiyu and Si Jin more than two hours to restore the home to its original appearance.

The two of them sat on the floor covered in sweat, panting.

Liu Shiyu couldn't help but yelled: "Damn it!! I said you are too old, a big man in your thirties! I'm not here for a month and you make your house like this. You should think about it for yourself in the future ah!"

Si Jin kept his head down, Liu Shiyu couldn't see his expression at all, and became more and more unrestrained, "Idiot like you, tell me what is worth my nostalgia for you?

I ran away from home, how dare you not even make a phone call.How dare you make the house like this while I'm not at home, and wait until I come back to clean up..."

The more Liu Shiyu spoke, his voice became softer, and he chuckled twice, "So dependent on me! What if I'm not here in the future?"

At this time, Si Jin raised his head, looked at Liu Shiyu with red eyes, rushed towards him, hugged him tightly, and shouted: "I can't do without you!! Don't you know this? Is it? I will definitely have you in my future, why should I think about my future without you?!"

quite a while.

Liu Shiyu raised his hand and hugged Si Jin back. Feeling the unsteadiness in his heart, he said softly: "You have been an idiot since you were a teenager, really. You have never changed..."

⑨

That night, Si Jin cried for a long time, and it was the first time Liu Shiyu saw him cry like that since he knew him.

Almost out of breath.

And when he saw his tears bursting, Liu Shiyu himself felt uncomfortable as if his throat was blocked, only then did he understand...

What kind of feeling faded?

Liu Shiyu slapped himself hard.

What feelings have faded! ! ! !It's just that he is looking for trouble when he has nothing to do.

Have a good time, but don't think about these messes.

Obviously the seven-year itch is over!

There is no seven-year itch at all.

At that time, Liu Shiyu was still joking with Si Jin, they both had a seven-year itch, and if they were going to make a fuss, why didn't the two of them have it?

I thought so when I was ten years old;

No.15 years ago, I thought about it like this;

But who knows, this itch broke out in No.16.

They were almost burnt to pieces!
