After the breakup, Zha Gong and the crematorium were in HE

On New Year's Eve, red silk was hung all over the street, and the lanterns on the street lamps were one after another. Early in the morning, the neighbor's rooster crowed at the top of his lungs. Tang Xiao hurriedly closed the window and turned most of the The chirping sound was blocked out of the window.

Looking back, Yi Yi whimpered and turned around. Fortunately, he was not awakened, so he was relieved.

While lunch was being cooked in the kitchen, the pressure cooker screamed, and there was a knock on the door at the same time.

Tang Xiao frantically cleaned up the kitchen before rushing to open the door.

"Doctor Chi, Happy New Year!"

Chi Du's clothes were slightly disheveled, and there were still light bruises under his eyes. At a glance, he could see that he had just finished his work and rushed here. Tang Xiao smiled and hugged him, his whole body was full of joy from the New Year .

"The meal will be ready soon, just wait."

He reached out to take the bag in Chi Du's hand, but the other party didn't let it go.

"Uh... Last time you said you wanted to drink chicken soup, I stewed it today. It was too late to play with Yiyi last night, and I got up late in the morning, so I had to use a pressure cooker."

Chi Du nodded, took out a small New Year's ornament from his bag and hung it on the door.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang Xiao was a little concerned. Normally, he would definitely go into the kitchen to help enthusiastically, but today he kept his bag still, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away from him.

Tang Xiao forced himself not to think about Chi Du's recent weirdness. The two of them hadn't been together for long, and they had always kept a polite distance in their relationship. They hadn't even held hands a few times. Sharing, but he is incapable and unwilling to intervene in the experimental project.

When the soup came out, a layer of oil floated on the surface, and the strong aroma of chicken soup hit the face.

"I'm going to wake Yi Yi up, you drink some soup first to cushion your stomach."

Just as Tang Xiao took a step, Chi Du grabbed his hand suddenly, his eyes were blue and red.

"Tang Xiao..." Chi Du's voice was a little hoarse, he licked his dry lips, pressed his other hand on the bag, his eyes revealed a certain desire, "If Fang Zimo wants to drink this soup, you Are you going to get up late?"

The words of concern were knocked back to the stomach by this sentence, Tang Xiao's eyes wandered, and he smacked his lips and said, "Why do you mention him?"

The festive atmosphere of the New Year's Eve seems to have been torn open, allowing some air-conditioning to come in, which is really unpleasant.

Chi Du let go of his hand, and smiled slightly as he lowered his head.

"Let me answer for you, you won't get up late, no matter how late you went to bed the night before and how tired you are, as long as he says he wants to drink, you will definitely get up early to make soup for him. You put your heart and soul into it. Give it to him, I have nothing here."

As Chi Du's words came out word by word, Tang Xiao's face became more and more ugly. He almost thought that he had quarreled with him last night, otherwise why would he cause trouble so early in the morning.

Seeing Chi Du, he wanted to say that Tang Xiao couldn't control his emotions.

"enough!"

He took off the apron and put it on the back of the chair, with slightly protruding veins on the back of his hands, and said in a hoarse voice, "Next time I will remember to get up earlier, you are tired, take a rest, and you have to drive to the mall later."

Fang Zhiwen said that he wanted to come to pick up the child a few years ago, but it dragged on until the last day. Thinking that the food prepared tonight can only be eaten by two people, Tang Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable.In these years, during the Chinese New Year, it is said that it is lively or not, and it is said that it is deserted. After all, if one person makes a scene, it is worth a group.

Tang Xiao pressed his eyebrows, and the cheerful music in the shopping mall made his head hurt a little.

"Auntie, I want this!" Sitting in the trolley, Yi Yi reached out to pick up a bag of puffed food.

"Kids eat less of these." Chi Du said flatly, grabbed the snacks and put them back on the shelf.

Yi Yi's mouth puffed up, and he said loudly, "I'm not a child anymore!"

He jumped off the cart angrily, insisting on pushing it himself.

The ingredients at home are all ready. There are not many things to buy today, but the trolley is full of bottles and cans. At this time, it hit the ground and crackled.Tang Xiao rubbed Yi Yi's head, and comforted him gently, "Hey, tell your dad to come pick you up at the mall."

The supermarket closed early today, and some things were being processed, but the tasting activities never stopped.The child woke up full of energy, Tang Xiao brought him a children's stroller, and let him go to the children's area to play.

"The steak in front seems to be doing an activity, do you want to try it?"

Chi Du quietly took his hand, Tang Xiao subconsciously wanted to hide, but Chi Du grabbed him instantly.

Tang Xiao felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the warmth of his palm.

"Happy New Year, buy one steak and get one free today, you can try it."

The rich aroma of butter makes people feel hungry even after eating.

Chi Du picked up a piece and fed it to Tang Xiao's mouth, and said with a smile, "How about it? Do you want to buy it and eat it tonight?"

Tang Xiao gently wiped the corners of his mouth, "I have prepared several dishes tonight, if you like, I can make them for you next time."

He picked up two yuan and looked at it. The salesman kept saying that it was the most cost-effective to buy steak at this time. Buying four yuan and getting some free ingredients was the most cost-effective. Tang Xiao was a little moved.

"You two got it right at first glance, isn't it Chinese New Year today? Buy it home and have a candlelight dinner, how good it is!" The salesman clapped his hands excitedly, seeing the bruises under Chi Du's eyes, he seemed to have misunderstood something, and lowered his voice Said: "Young people have good energy. My niece is in charge of the aquatic area in front of me. I can buy a soft-shelled turtle to make up for it."

Tang Xiao was a little embarrassed, nodded perfunctorily, put the steak into the trolley, and desperately wanted to escape the enthusiasm of the sales aunt.

"Are you okay tomorrow night? I'll fry it for you."

Chi Du stared at the two boxes of steaks for a long time, until Tang Xiao shook his hand in front of him, and he finally realized it.

"Forget it." He put the steak out, took Tang Xiao's hand and walked to the children's area.

The sales aunt followed them all the way with strange eyes. An aunt next to her came to ask, and she whispered in her ear: "The young man quarreled, what can happen? The tall man, tall and long-legged, who can't see it?" Excited? Then Omega is not a person who can stay."

Near the children's area, Tang Xiao threw him away with all his strength and suppressed his anger so that he didn't get angry in front of the children.

"What happened to you today? Is it because Yi Yi has been with me for a long time, so you are unhappy? As I said, I have a very good relationship with Fang Zhiwen. If I don't help him, Yi Yi will be alone. He will be very worried if people stay in Fang's house."

"You said before that you don't want to have anything to do with the Fang family."

Tang Xiao was speechless.

"If it was him, you wouldn't do something that would make him unhappy, would you?"

The climax of the music sounded, Tang Xiao's mind was in a muddle, he didn't answer, his eyes couldn't help looking around, one question after another made him overwhelmed.

He gritted his teeth secretly, unable to answer half a word.

"Actually, I shouldn't expect you to like me too much, but at least, I hope you can give me a little like, even if it's a little, I won't do such a thing." Chi Du laughed bitterly.

"Such a thing?" Tang Xiao felt uneasy.

Before he could ask further, the noise of rollers grinding on the ground came from his ears. Yi Yi pushed the stroller and rushed over. Tang Xiao was startled, and immediately wanted to hug him. A very familiar figure was walking towards them.

"Aunt and Aunt! Uncle is here to pick us up!" Yi Yi shouted excitedly, then yelled to go home quickly.

"Uncle! My aunt made a lot of delicious food at night. I don't want to go home. I want to eat at my aunt's place!"

Fang Zimo bowed and picked him up, and when he saw Tang Xiao, his breathing became obviously short of breath.

"teacher……"

"I'll go to checkout, the basement is waiting for you." Tang Xiao pulled the car away as if fleeing. He almost didn't hear the cashier asking him to pay. He didn't know how he got there all the way to the basement. Came here so fast.

Maybe it's because he's too busy recently, he thought to himself, it's time to find something to do.He turned on the phone, and there was a missed call from Fang Zhiwen on the interface. He didn't know when he turned off the sound, so he had to call back immediately.

"Hi, Tang Xiao." Fang Zhiwen's voice was a little anxious, "I have something to do today, and I was supposed to ask my aunt to pick it up, but I didn't expect Xiaomo to come here. Have you met?"

Tang Xiao was silent for a while, then hummed lightly,

Fang Zhiwen sighed, "Sorry, I should have stopped him, did he offend you?"

"No, we didn't talk." Tang Xiao kicked the stones on the ground.

"Actually, there is something I really want you to scold him... Hey, forget it, let's not mention him during the Chinese New Year today. Happy New Year, Mr. Tang, if you have any thoughts about work, please tell me, I will arrange it for you."

"Thank you, you don't have to worry, I can take care of it myself." Tang Xiao opened the car door and got in. He saw Chi Du and Fang Zimo in the rearview mirror, but Yi Yi didn't know what was wrong and kept crying Stop, eyes are red from crying.

He said Happy New Year and hung up the phone quickly.

He couldn't calm down, especially when he saw Fang Zimo walking towards him with Yi Yi in his arms, he felt distressed and wanted the car to drive away like this, but what he didn't expect was that after Chi Du got into the car, He opened the car window that he had closed on purpose.

"Yi Yi, don't cry, have you told Teacher Tang a Happy New Year yet?" Fang Zimo bent down slightly, tapped the back of Yi Yi's head lightly, and said after hearing him say Happy New Year: " Teacher, happy new year. Don't watch the year this year, you should rest early, otherwise the wound will hurt again."

The scar on the back of the neck was half hidden by the collar of his shirt. Tang Xiao was looking at Chi Du suspiciously, but Chi Du nodded to him.

"Auntie, I don't want you to break up! Uncle said, if you break up, I won't be able to eat at your place tonight!" Yi Yi's crying broke the silence, "My uncle and I both like to eat what you cook!"

Fang Zimo put him on the ground and said sharply, "How many times have I told you? Let you call Teacher Tang! Don't cry!"

Yi Yi bit his lips tightly, but still couldn't stop sobbing.

The parking lot echoed very loudly, and every sound was amplified. Tang Xiao twitched in distress, and quickly handed over the paper, and said softly, "It's okay, Yi Yi. Whatever you want to eat in the future, ask Dad to get it."

"My brother is busy, teacher, you can call me." Fang Zimo interrupted suddenly.

Tang Xiao's fingers were stiff, and he waved at Yi Yi, "Go to your uncle's car, you should go home."

Perhaps this behavior caused him to misunderstand something. After Yi Yi got into the car, Fang Zimo clasped the window sill excitedly. Trouble, don't spoil him too much, if you call to harass you at night, you tell me, I will clean him up for you. "

The familiar smell made Tang Xiao's skin crawl all over. He obviously couldn't smell the coffee fragrance anymore, but now he kept recalling it in his memory.

Fang Zimo was too obedient, sensible and obedient, this was a method he used to coax people in the past, Tang Xiao didn't want to admit that he really liked it.

He was a little irritable and eagerly buckled his seat belt.

"I have met a nanny before. He has a good personality. I will introduce it to your brother later. Don't let Yiyi live with me in the future, and don't come to see me. My boyfriend will be unhappy."

Fang Zimo's throat seemed to be choked by something, "Old... Teacher, what did you say?"

"Your brother said that you insisted on coming today." Tang Xiao looked at the front coldly, "I don't want to leave this city, but if you must come to disturb my life, I think I will consider moving out."

In the five years, there are feelings, life, and money in it, and those complex interpersonal networks are tightly intertwined, and there will always be a medium for them to meet again.Tang Xiao naively thought that this city was really too big to be scary. After all, there would be so many Omegas that had been washed away. Why would they meet each other if they lived at both ends of the city?

He thought that they could really do what they said, and they really wouldn't meet if they didn't meet.

Tang Xiao closed the window, slowly watched the figure get smaller and smaller from the rearview mirror, and finally loosened his clenched hands.

In the kitchen, Tang Xiao accidentally scratched his finger while chopping vegetables, Chi Du hurried over to pick up the post.

"You are right. I didn't consider your feelings before. No matter how good the relationship is in the future, as long as I have a little contact with him, I will not contact him."

The sound of fireworks this year was much louder than last year. Tang Xiao thought that this should be because fireworks were strictly prohibited in the place where he lived before, and this place was crowded and remote, and the sound of firecrackers was almost deafening to people's ears.

Chi Du brought the food to the table, festive music was playing during the Spring Festival Gala, the neighbor's door rang when they closed the door when they just arrived, and the small ornaments that Chi Du hung on the door in the morning were also shaken The ground fell to the ground.

Unfortunately, no one noticed it.

"You know, it's really unrealistic for us to talk about whether we like it or not. But since I accept this relationship, I will definitely take it seriously, and you don't have to compare everything with him..."

Chi Du put a piece of fish into his bowl, his face returned to his usual color, and he became polite and gentle again.

"Tang Xiao, I actually said those words on purpose today." Chi Du put down his chopsticks and glanced at the sumptuous meals on the table, with a half-smile, "I really couldn't understand why you were with such a person before. Wasted youth together, but these two days I know."

Tang Xiao's hands trembled and he almost lost his grip on the food. He forced a smile and said, "Why are you dragging it here? It's because I didn't like any of the dishes I cooked today? You can't stop your mouth with so many ?”

At this time, there was rumbling fireworks outside, and Tang Xiao couldn't stop looking outside.

"If it was him, he would definitely drag you out to set off fireworks now, and set off all the fireworks. It's not like us eating and watching TV boringly, right?"

Tang Xiao's Adam's apple twitched.

"One day, isn't it enough?"

Under the light, Chi Du's thin glasses reflected light, making it difficult to see his eyes clearly.Tang Xiao was very irritated by his words, especially the continuous stimulation like today.

After eating, Tang Xiao wanted to sit together and watch the Spring Festival Gala together, but Chi Du took out something from his bag and looked at it carefully with a serious attitude towards work.

Tang Xiao had no choice but to browse through the recruitment information with his mobile phone. Among the news, he happened to see a job advertisement for a game company. Tang Xiao remembered it clearly. It was a small studio. When I was in college, in order to gain experience for myself, I specially found a small studio for an internship, and it was this one.

He hurriedly clicked if he wasn't interested, and then searched for a suitable one among a large number of teacher recruitments.

In his current state, going to school is not easy.His mental state has not been very good due to the sequelae of the operation, so he can only find a suitable position in the training school.

The message sent by the chat software is a holiday greeting from Zhao Chengshu.

His parents finally went home to celebrate the New Year this year. In the photo, they look like they are eating. At first glance, they are very warm.

[My mother is pregnant again, they borrowed some money and are going to start a small business here, so teacher, you don’t have to worry about me, I will take care of myself. ]

[They say they will make money honestly, but I don't believe it.I'm really sick of them, they're always betting money, and this time I've got to be on my toes. ]

A relaxed smile finally appeared on Tang Xiao's face. The kid Xiaoshu said he was annoyed, but he must be very happy in his heart.

After thinking about it, he sent a red envelope of a few hundred, forcing the other party to accept it, as an apology for his dereliction of duty as a teacher.

""MIM" was recently forced to rectify. If you don't delete the easter egg in a month, Fang Zimo may face a lawsuit, and the compensation figure is also a sky-high price. Do you know that?"

Tang Xiao's smile faded, and he said coldly, "This has nothing to do with me."

"He is very stubborn, and he refuses to delete it no matter what. Fang Zhiwen fought for this month's time." Chi Du adjusted his glasses, "The stimulating and passionate happiness he gives you is something that others cannot give you. I chose the Chen family frankly before, and now I regret it vigorously. The day you saw the easter egg, you secretly cried in the car. Do you know? In fact, he prepared a ring that day. If you don’t leave, he really Will propose."

Tang Xiao got up to leave.

"Are you willing to give up that easter egg?"

Chi Du also stood up at the same time, and followed his footsteps to the window. The window faced the intersection, and the continuous fireworks had dyed the curtains in colorful colors.There was a bang, and the curtains were shaken to the corner.

"Tang Xiao, let's break up."

The countdown sound came from the TV, Tang Xiao took out a cigarette from his bag and lit it, and opened the window to let out the smell.

What he didn't expect was that it was snowing outside, and it was not falling lightly, and a thin layer of snow had accumulated on the road.

"So you're planning so much today just to break up? Actually, you can just say it." Tang Xiao sneered, "We shouldn't be together. Leave it to others, I was wrong to promise you, you can say goodbye at any time."

"No, I thought I could have someone I like." Chi Du brought a shawl, put his hands on his shoulders, and lowered his eyes, "I really like you, if it wasn't for Fang Zimo, I should I won't mention breaking up, after all, it's someone I've finally caught up with, and I won't cherish it like he did."

"Then why?"

"Because of money."

Tang Xiao was a little confused, "Fang Zimo promised to give you money to invest, so you..."

He didn't say the second half of the sentence, he thought it was an insult to feelings, if the breakup was proposed because of money, then Tang Xiao would definitely regret agreeing to him.

"The Fang family didn't give enough money, and the Chen family didn't give enough. What I want is more money that won't be cut off because of other people's mood." Chi Du took off his glasses, "I don't want to hide it from you, so Let me tell you, in a few days you will see the news that the prince of the Fang family is trapped by love and is willing to sell his hard work for many years."

The sound of fireworks exploded again, Tang Xiao took a step back, he didn't even know the ash fell on the ground, he opened his mouth, but didn't say anything until Chi Du put the glasses on for him.

"You haven't been able to see clearly after the operation. This is a parting gift. You can treat it as me taking advantage of you. Take this as a lesson and see people clearly in the future, okay?"

With a bang, Chi Du was punched hard in the face, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, before he could react, Tang Xiao held him by the collar and pressed him against the window.

"Do you know how important this thing is to him! It's not his own thing, it's something I conceived with him night after night when he was still an intern!" Tang Xiao's hands were shaking , the picture in front of him became clear due to the refraction of the lens, and when he saw the smile on the corner of Chi Du's mouth, he suddenly felt sick.

"I didn't want to come today. Everything has been done. According to the agreement, I should break up with you yesterday, but he said he was worried that you would feel lonely during the New Year alone."

Tang Xiao felt his brain explode. He should have thought about it a long time ago. Fang Zimo is a child. How can a child think about the consequences of things? He only cares about whether the things he likes are done or not. Without being by his side, the child's possessiveness is so strong, he is so crazy and so desperate, Tang Xiao will not be surprised by anything he does.

"Why don't you open the window and see who is setting off the fireworks outside." Chi Du stood up straight with difficulty, opened the window, and pointed to the intersection downstairs.

Looking at the place he pointed, the rumbling sound was the loudest there. A tall boy squatted next to the fireworks box. The snow kept falling on his head, and his hair was dyed white.He kept pressing the lighter, sparks burst out, and the flame finally ignited. He lit the fireworks, and the sky was colorful.

He took a step back and looked up subconsciously, but only saw an open window, the curtains were blown by the wind and were about to run out.

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded, and he saw the figure standing not far away who was thinking about it day and night, his breath took shape in the cold air, like steam when water boiled, showing excitement and enthusiasm.

"Teacher...be careful! It's being released over there, be careful you get blown up!"

The world outside the lens was indeed much clearer, and even his fists were more precise. Tang Xiao's usual rationality turned into violence at this moment. When he punched down, Fang Zimo staggered a few steps and almost fell down.

"Teacher, it's New Year's Eve, you..." Fang Zimo rubbed the corner of his mouth that was beaten, his cut was obviously broken, but he laughed, "You haven't touched me for a long time, and you've been avoiding me all this time."

"Your brother is helping you outside, and you secretly bought the game at home?" Tang Xiao asked tremblingly, the sky was snowing, he was wearing thin clothes, the air-conditioning had penetrated in, but he didn't feel cold at all, "Are you worthy of yourself? Just to separate me from him? You are sick, right!"

He was furious, pointed at Fang Zimo and nodded, "Hurry up and think of a way, buy it or something, how can you sell this thing to them! What do they know! They will only ruin it!"

"I can't buy it back." Fang Zimo touched his head and smiled wryly, "How could anyone be willing to throw away the good things they got?"

After finishing speaking, he murmured, "Only I am so stupid as to hurt the teacher's heart. The teacher is so good, but I lost it."

Tang Xiao's nose became sore. Even though the sound of fireworks was so loud, he could hear these words very clearly. It's just that he hated such Fang Zimo, and also hated such a disconnected relationship.

"Your father used to say that you are not suitable to take over the company. It seems to be true. A businessman is most taboo to act emotionally. Little Mo, why can't you be more sober?"

"One wrong step, wrong step, teacher, you always have to find what is most important to you in life. I used to think it was my dream, and I must make a game that is popular all over the world. Now I know, how can these compare It's up to you."

Tang Xiao smiled, picked up the snow from the ground, and stuffed it into the unmissed fireworks, his hands were red from the cold.Fang Zimo was dumbfounded for a while, and hurried up to stop him.

"Get out! What did I say today? I said that if you do this again, I will consider leaving here." Tang Xiao shook off him and moved away from him, not knowing where to put his hands.

"Why are you doing this now? Are you moving yourself? What did you say when I begged you not to get married? What were you doing when I asked you not to have my glands cut? Fang Xinmo, wake up after my operation The moment I came, my heart was already dead! Didn’t your capriciousness torture me enough? One moment you said you loved me, and the next moment you threw my heart on the ground to ruin it.”

He threw the snow on the ground and leaned against the tree wearily, the beeping sound of the car at the intersection was Chi Du's farewell to him.

The beauty of fireworks is like a satire on him. What he wanted so hard before is now there, but now he just finds it unbearable.

"Stop doing these ridiculous things and be yourself."

He wiped his face, turned his back to him, exposing the scars on the back of his neck, those injuries that had already been suffered, no matter how much he repaired them now, they were already injuries.

"I've been really tired for the past five years, and I'm finally relieved. You, you guys, don't bother me anymore, okay?"

"it is good."

Fang Zimo took off his clothes and put them on for him, then took a step back.

"Teacher, you don't have to go. I'll go. I'll leave here tomorrow, I promise."
