Thousand Willows

"Maybe you misunderstood him. After so many years, how do you remember his appearance..." Qin Zhenzhu said.

Liu Minhui wiped away tears, shook his head, pointed to the photo in Qin Zhenzhu's hand and said, "Mom, I have seen all the photos of Dad countless times, and his appearance has been engraved in my mind. I knew that person when I saw him. It's him, it's him!"

"At that time, you were still young, and you couldn't remember your father's appearance at all. What you looked at was a photo, maybe it was just a resemblance. You misunderstood." Qin Zhenzhu was holding the photo frame at this time, pretending to be relaxed and throwing it aside , "I've been looking for him for many years but I can't find him. He must not be here anymore. I don't have any obsessions now. Without him, after so many years, haven't I come here? You may be dazzled, or it's just that the person looks similar Your father looks too much like him."

Liu Minhui looked at Qin Zhenzhu, but the other party avoided his eyes.He suddenly seemed to understand why Qin Zhenzhu didn't want to admit it, and didn't even mention going to see it or go for an appraisal.

Because it is no longer needed.That man has been away for too long, he was not there at the most critical time, and now, he no longer needs to appear.Moreover, if he was really a homosexual who abandoned his wife and eloped with other men, it would be a great shame for Qin Zhenzhu to admit this.All her life, she has always been strong and stubborn, unwilling to succumb to the established destiny, so she gritted her teeth and accumulated little by little. From a small shop to today's big company, this journey has never been easy.The so-called husband will only become another legend in her legendary life.Today's Qin Zhenzhu is no longer the woman who cried hoarsely, and standing behind her is not only Liu Minhui alone, but also a huge company, partners, investors, everyone in the industrial chain... ... Qin Zhenzhu understood that she could no longer be hypocritical.

"Mom...you..." Although Liu Minhui guessed Qin Zhenzhu's intentions, he did not expect her to treat this matter like this. Liu Minhui still remembered the days when she was wiping tears in front of the photos when she was a child.

"Oh, by the way, I still have some things to deal with. You need someone to clean up the house. It's almost Chinese New Year, and the house also needs to be cleaned." Qin Zhenzhu was about to leave after speaking.

"Mom, I'm also gay, and I don't want to harm others like him." Liu Minhui couldn't help but said, "Even if you force me to get married, I will run away."

"Let's talk later." Qin Zhenzhu ignored Liu Minhui and left on her own.

The room suddenly became quiet, leaving only Liu Minhui standing in the mess.He felt like a fool, suddenly going crazy, suddenly sad, these emotions were not what he wanted, but he couldn't refuse them.

By the way, Jiang Yizhong... Liu Minhui suddenly thought of him, opened the door, and there was no one outside.

"Why are you leaving..." Liu Minhui returned to the room, slumped on the sofa, his eyes were empty, his heart was blocked with a pile of mess, let alone untie it, he couldn't even push it away.He felt extremely lonely, as if no one in this world could listen to what he was saying, and no one could understand his thoughts.What he wants has never been a big thing, just some small happiness, why is it so difficult?From childhood to adulthood, those moments of happiness are just a piece of candy, a comic book, a game console, a bowl of chicken noodle soup, a smile, a word of encouragement...all these small things.Compared with the so-called career and success, all he wants is a loved one, a family, and something he likes to do.

It was getting dark, and Jiang Yizhong sat on the train to his hometown, looking through the glass window at the sporadic lights that flashed outside the window from time to time, as well as his cowardly reflection reflected by the window.Because there is no bullet train in my hometown, this kind of traditional express train is the best choice to go home. Compared with the bumps of the car, the rhythmic roar of the train is a kind of enjoyment, especially when thinking about things. , making people comfortable.

Jiang Yizhong remembered that Liu Minhui went to him before, and saw the scar on his arm at night, and asked him three times and four times in a fuss. That appearance really made people feel warm. This kind of warmth lies in the fact that human beings are social animals, and they always need the attention and care of others. , especially those who need the care of people they care about.Jiang Yizhong felt that he could see Liu Minhui's heart clearly, but what if he could see clearly, the two of them did not conform to the mainstream of this society after all, even if Liu Minhui had the heart not to be afraid of the gossip and gossip of this society He is awesome, and he is not afraid of his family and family inheritance... But he can't do it himself, Jiang Yizhong knows better than anyone else, compared to Liu Minhui, he is a coward and coward through and through, he doesn't care, but it's all about himself care.It's perfectly normal for such a self to run away. Anyway, everything will come to an end. Although people often say that you can escape for a while, but you can't escape for a lifetime, but for him, you can escape. This time is also good.

Jiang Yi looked at the phone again, Liu Minhui didn't look for him, probably because he was completely disappointed in himself, and his heart was so cold.Thinking of this, he felt a little sad again, and a complex emotion spread in his chest.His brain started to run out of control. He thought of Liu Minhui's mother Qin Zhenzhu's expression, his current job, and the many unfinished business in the factory. The younger brother in prison, thinking of the things his younger brother entrusted to him, thinking of his mother who was alone at home, thinking of Liu Hao who had returned to his hometown at this time, thinking of the company where he worked before and the bosses and colleagues, thinking of the colleagues in the company now... After thinking for a while, he recalled that when he was a child, his father carried him and his younger brother to the temple fair. The temple fair was bustling with crowds, shouts were heard endlessly, the delicious smell of food lingered all around, all kinds of novelties were dizzying, and there were people walking on stilts. Dragon dancers, jugglers, those people wearing bright clothes, walking through the crowd with gongs and drums, the mother is behind, telling the father not to hold the two children, his arms will be tired, but the father is unwilling to let go, saying that he There is plenty of strength, the two little dolls are nothing, the mother scolds, the family shuttles happily among the happy crowd...

"Finally we've arrived!" Suddenly, the carriage erupted, and people sitting in their seats began to take their luggage from the luggage racks.

"Go home!"

It was only then that Jiang Yizhong remembered that he was still in the car, and the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and his ticket was also a seat he bought by chance.How many people who work in other places are wearing decent clothes, carrying luggage in large and small bags, and walking home with a year's exhaustion and a year's harvest.Looking at the beaming looks on the faces of the people around him, it actually made him feel as happy as the people at the temple fair many years ago.But he felt more and more desolate in his heart. He felt as if he was standing on an ice floe, watching the people on the land gather together and smiling, while he was drifting farther and farther along the current on the ice floe.He suddenly felt that his nose was a little sore and his eye sockets were a little wet, but he quickly pretended to be tired, took out his glasses and rubbed his eyes, pushing back the tears that hadn't flowed yet.

"Come home, New Year's Eve!"

The car stopped safely at the station, and the people in the car couldn't wait. The slightly dull atmosphere in the previous driving was swept away, and replaced with another joyful atmosphere.

Jiang Yizhong said in his heart: "My coward is also back."

After leaving the station, small snowflakes suddenly fluttered in the sky, like the opening of a welcome feast.

But Jiang Yizhong remembered that when he came to this station to pick up Liu Minhui that day, it seemed that the same snowflakes were flying around. Liu Minhui was just standing there surrounded by the snowflakes, but his bleak figure was so beautiful that people couldn't move their eyes away. , he is like a branch that does not bloom, just a few branches, but also has a proud demeanor.But I don't know what happened to him now.It's just that Jiang Yizhong knew that he just couldn't ask at this time, it was difficult to ask, and he didn't dare to ask.If it was a battlefield at that time, then I was just a deserter who had escaped before the battle. No matter whether the battle was won or lost, I was the one who had no face to inquire about it.

Jiang Yizhong stood in the open space, letting the snowflakes fall, the crowd came and went, the driver's voice of inviting guests kept coming and going, but in his eyes, he just turned a blind eye.He looked up at where the snowflakes came from, and thought, if it wasn't snow, but a knife next time, stabbing himself with every knife, maybe he would feel better instead.Sometimes, Jiang Yizhong feels that he is a pretty good person, and treats people around him pretty well, but sometimes he feels that he is just a villain, and he often uses others to achieve his goals. His mind may not be pure, just like what he did to Liu Minhui, the reason why he has maintained a relationship with him for so long is not because the other party can bring him benefits?Looking at it now, it was indeed the case. He was just cooperating with Liu Minhui if it was beneficial, and running away if it was not beneficial. The speed of his escape was really getting faster and faster.I thought it was just because I was not a pure-hearted person, and I couldn't see other people's gossip, I always felt that there would definitely not be a happy ending in the worldly sense between myself and Liu Minhui, so I simply broke the jar, even if it made the other person sad, It was nothing more than the catalyst for the end of the deal between the two of them.

Jiang Yi lowered his head, his hair was already stained with countless flakes of snow, and when he saw a driver picking up passengers, he got into the car and went home.

The house was still dark and cold, Liu Minhui turned on the light, and saw his mother, Aunt Qian, on the sofa dozing off wrapped in a quilt, the light woke her up, she raised her eyelids and saw Jiang Yizhong, and murmured back, let's go to rest.

Jiang Yizhong persuaded her to go back to her room to sleep, but Aunt Qian didn't listen, and said, "I won't be able to fall asleep when I go back to my room, but I can sleep here for a while. Leave me alone, go and rest."

Jiang Yizhong found that his mother seemed to have aged a lot since he hadn't seen her for a few days, the wrinkles on her face became deeper, her hair became more dull and disheveled, and her complexion became more pale.

Lying on the bed in his own room, Jiang Yi suffered from insomnia.
