Four years single, three years widowed

Duan Wenzheng was very sad, his emotions were fully revealed, probably because of his illness, he looked extraordinarily fragile.

The doorbell rang in time, allowing Li Can to get out of this worrying situation.

Opening the door, Li Can took the takeaway from the delivery boy and said "thank you".

He ordered a white porridge with some appetizing side dishes, which is very suitable for sick people.

Bringing the takeaway to the living room, Li Can untied the plastic bag and helped Duan Wenzheng take out the food.

"What do you eat?" Duan Wenzheng found that there was only a bowl of porridge on the coffee table.

"I'll cook some dumplings later," Li Can said.

Lifting the lids one by one, Li Can slowly picked up the porridge, with a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

Duan Wenzheng is sick, but he doesn't mind feeding Duan Wenzheng, he just thinks...

As if seeing his hesitation, Duan Wenzheng took the initiative to say: "I will do it myself."

"Be careful it's hot." Li Can obediently passed the porridge to Duan Wenzheng.

Duan Wenzheng lowered his head, picked up a spoonful of porridge: "Go and do your work, don't worry about me."

Li Can pursed his lips, got up and poured another glass of water for Duan Wenzheng, and put it on the tea table: "After eating the porridge, remember to take the medicine, and call me anytime you need anything."

"Okay." Duan Wenzheng responded in a low voice.

Walking into the kitchen, Li Can turned on the tap, put water in the pot, covered the pot, and waited for it to boil.

He has been standing by the stove, occasionally turning his head to look at Duan Wenzheng on the sofa. They are only a few meters apart, but invisibly, the dividing line is more obvious, completely dividing them into two worlds.

After a pot of clear water boiled, Li Can sprinkled some salt, then put the dumplings into the pot and stirred them gently a few times.

On that side, Duan Wenzheng had already emptied the porridge in the bowl, followed Li Can's instructions, and put the two pills down with water.

Waiting for it to boil again, Li Can caught a glimpse of Duan Wenzheng's movements out of the corner of his eye. He took off the pillow behind him and lay down, probably ready to rest.

Li Can didn't want to disturb Duan Wenzheng, so he tried his best not to make any noise after that, even the dumplings were eaten standing in the kitchen.

Stepping out of the bathroom lightly, Li Can was refreshed. He approached the sofa, looked at Duan Wenzheng who was in a deep sleep, and slowly stretched out his hand.

With the back of his hand on Duan Wenzheng's forehead, Li Can finally felt relieved.

The fever-reducing medicine worked, and it was not as hot as before.

Not daring to stay longer to wake Duan Wenzheng, Li Can quickly withdrew his hand, turned off the light switch, and entered the bedroom.

In the darkness, Duan Wenzheng silently opened his eyes.

As time passed, the color of the sky quietly changed from black to gray. Although it was not bright yet, a new day had already begun.

On the fourth day after Duan Wenzheng came back to stay, Li Can finally got up earlier than him once.

Simply tidying up, Li Can went downstairs to buy breakfast. On the way back, he happened to meet 24 Xiao's good boyfriend, Deng Kang.

The guy said that tonight is New Year's Eve, mysteriously and proudly told Li Can about the surprise he arranged for Xiang Xiaofei, and stuffed dog food into Li Can's mouth.

Fortunately, Deng Kang lived downstairs, so he had to take a step first, and Li Can could still enjoy the quiet time on the two floors.

After entering the password, Li Can unlocked the door and unexpectedly saw Duan Wenzheng coming out of the bathroom.

After being taken aback for a while, Li Can put on his slippers: "You're up."

"Ah."

"How do you feel?" Li Can asked.

"much better."

Duan Wenzheng's voice was still a little hoarse, but judging from his complexion, it was indeed much better.

"I bought breakfast." Li Can put the bag of breakfast on the dining table.

Not being too polite to him, Duan Wenzheng pulled the chair by the dining table and sat down.

Li Can went into the bedroom to change clothes. After a while, he put on a neat suit and walked to the entrance.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Duan Wenzheng asked, followed by another question, "Isn't it okay to have breakfast with your friends?"

Li Can originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard Duan Wenzheng say the word "friend", he changed his mind instantly.

Duan Wenzheng recognized the reality and gave up.

That being the case, he was naturally willing to give Duan Wenzheng a step down.

Turning on tiptoe, Li Can returned to the dining table and sat down opposite Duan Wenzheng.

Taking a bite of the meat bun in his hand, Duan Wenzheng said, "Thank you for taking care of me last night."

"You're welcome."

The topic is over, and everyone is quiet.

"I started looking for a house." Duan Wenzheng said again.

"If you need help, just tell me." Li Can said generously.

"Well, I'll look for it first, but I can't find anything satisfactory, and then ask your friend to help me look."

"Okay." Li Can nodded.

The two talked as friends for the first time, and the atmosphere was a bit weird, but compared to the situation of the previous two days, it was definitely a rapid progress.

After breakfast, Li Can left home for work, and just got into the driving seat of the car when his cell phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, Li Can immediately connected the phone: "Hello?"

"Are you driving?" Li Chi asked on the other end of the phone.

"Not yet." Li Can replied, "Just got in the car."

"Oh, I just wanted to ask you, do you have any plans for the evening?" Li Chi explained the purpose of his visit.

Li Can twitched the corners of his lips, with a hint of self-deprecation in his tone: "What arrangements can I make?"

"No arrangement is best!" Li Chi applauded exaggeratedly, "Yueyue misses you to death, and wants to see you."

Li Can understood his little thoughts and chuckled lightly.

"Come to my house tonight?" Li Chi held out an olive branch.

"Not too good." Li Can said, "Isn't tonight New Year's Eve?"

To be honest, if Deng Kang hadn't woken him up, Li Can would have forgotten that today is the last day of the year.

"What's wrong?" Li Chi disagreed, "It's because it's New Year's Eve that we have to get together."

"Will Nuan Nuan come too?"

"She has already made an appointment with a group of friends, and she is bound to go crazy all night." Li Chi said, "That kind of activity is not suitable for you, Li Can, you should just keep watch with us at midnight."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Li Can accepted the invitation.

"That's right." Li Chi said with satisfaction, "But it was agreed in advance that you are not allowed to bring toys to Yue Yue."

Immediately being poked at the thought in the center, Li Can laughed dumbfounded: "Got it."

"Then come over after get off work." Li Chi said cheerfully, "Hang up, bye."

"bye."

The call was cut off, and the display immediately jumped back to the main screen. Li Can put down the phone, turned the car key, and drove the car to the company.

After a busy day, after one o'clock in the afternoon, Li Can picked up his briefcase and left the office.

Plus yesterday, Li Can got off work on time for two consecutive days, besides, today is a special day.

After discussing a few words in a low voice, Sister Chen and Aya, who have the spirit of gossip, had to consider the possibility of their boss finding a second love.

But the fact is that the second spring is completely gone, and there is one who has just changed from a husband to a friend.

Since it was still early, Li Can decided to go home and change his clothes. The suit he was wearing was too formal, making it difficult for people to relax.

Through a door panel, Li Can sensed the movement in the room, and when he opened the door, the smell of food really hit his nostrils.

Duan Wenzheng walked out of the kitchen and saw him come back, he was overjoyed: "So early?"

He was actually not sure if Li Can would come back for dinner today, but he still made a meal for two at this spot.

"I'll come back and change clothes." Li Can said.

The implication is that instead of coming back to eat, you have to go out.

"Oh..." Duan Wenzheng couldn't hide the disappointment in his eyes, and then turned back to the kitchen.

Watching his lonely figure, Li Can suddenly felt a little sorry, he should not have come back to change clothes if he knew earlier.

Unfortunately, it is too late to regret now.

Looking away, Li Can only pretended not to notice Duan Wenzheng's depressed mood.

After hastily changing his clothes, Li Can stood at the entrance, put on his shoes, and he was just one step away.

But at this time, Duan Wenzheng came out with a plate of dishes and stopped.

With a forced smile on his face, Duan Wenzheng asked Li Can: "Are you dating a friend?"

"Uh." Li Can didn't lift his head.

He didn't need to explain to Duan Wenzheng who he was dating.

"Tonight is the New Year's Eve..." Duan Wenzheng said suddenly and without end.

Li Can knew that Duan Wenzheng must have lost his mind, thinking that he was going out on a date with some man.

He really didn't need to explain this.

Pressing his mouth into a straight line, Li Can squatted down to tie his shoelaces.

Silence, still silence.

It's been a long time since Li Can answered, Duan Wenzheng took it as his acquiescence, and with sourness pouring from his heart to his mouthpiece, he said with difficulty: "Then you should drink less."

Standing up abruptly, Li Can turned the doorknob: "I'm going to my brother's house."

After all, without waiting for Duan Wenzheng to react, Li Can went out and left.

he……

Even though he knew he didn't have to explain, he explained anyway.

Frowning tightly, Li Can held the steering wheel in his hands, trying to bring his attention back to the road ahead.

It's no big deal, it doesn't mean anything, he explained that it's just because he doesn't want to lie to Duan Wenzheng, they are friends now, and you have to be sincere to friends, right?

After struggling for a long time, Li Can finally managed to find a reason for himself that made sense and sounded very reasonable.

After a twenty-minute drive, Li Can successfully arrived at Li Chi's house, and Song Zhiyue gave him a big hug as soon as he entered the door.

The warm family affection comforted Li Can, he tried not to think about Duan Wenzheng who was alone at home, and blended into this beautiful environment full of laughter and laughter.

At first he did, but as the minutes and seconds flew by, the closer he got to zero, the more restless he became.

"Brother Song, brother, I'm going back first." Li Can hurried to the door and took down the coat hanging on the hanger.

"What's wrong? Why are you going back all of a sudden?" Li Chi was stunned.

"What happened, Li Can?" Song Wanjin asked with a frown. Li Can put on his coat and said casually, "I forgot to turn off the gas at home."

Turning his head to look at Song Wanjin, Li Chi showed a classic black question mark face: "Gas?"

What answered him was the sound of Li Can closing the door.

Speeding all the way home, it was 5 minutes before zero o'clock. When Li Can entered the house, Duan Wenzheng was sitting on the sofa watching the New Year's Eve party.

"Why are you back?" He had a surprised expression on his face.

"Many people come out to watch the fireworks today. After zero o'clock, the road will be blocked." Li Can said plainly.

"Oh, indeed." Duan Wenzheng believed.

Sitting next to Duan Wenzheng, Li Can watched the New Year's Eve party on TV intently. Duan Wenzheng saw that he was watching seriously, so he was too embarrassed to disturb him.

After singing a song, the party ushered in the highlight moment, and the hosts took the stage to welcome the new year.

"Three, two, one!"

As soon as the camera turns, the large TV screen is full of colorful and magnificent fireworks.

Li Can and Duan Wenzheng looked at the fireworks with expressionless faces. This was the only respect they had for the fireworks.

"In the new year, do you have any wishes?" Duan Wenzheng couldn't help talking to Li Can.

To his surprise, Li Can nodded: "Yes."

"What is it?" Duan Wenzheng was extremely curious.

"Didn't it mean that if you express your wish, it won't work?"

Duan Wenzheng laughed dryly: "There is such a saying..."

Li Can's pair of red phoenix eyes under the lens are slightly curved.

In the new year, he hoped that Duan Wenzheng could find a lover.
