compulsory possession

Li Beiyan never thought that he would see Nanyu again. Seeing him appearing in the living room of a suburban house, Li Beiyan was in a daze for a while. It wasn't until Nanyu called him that he was sure that the bearded face in front of him was the man from back then.

His parents had already rested when they were old, so Li Beiyan and him went to the yard outside the house, and each of them lit a cigarette. In the darkness, only a slowly burning red dot could be seen.

"When did you come back?"

"A while ago, my mother had an operation, and Cheng Xia called me." As he spoke, Li Beiyan also felt that he was unreliable.

Nan Yu asked, "How is Auntie doing now?"

"I've been discharged from the hospital and need to be taken care of."

After Nanyu was sent to Italy by Fu Yi, he tried to go back to China to find Li Beiyan, searched all over Beijing and went to Chongqing without any news, until he gave up completely.

Later, he went to the UK and worked hard to start a business there. Now he has a small company in his hands, and he is no longer an ordinary person who worked hard and wanted to save money to buy a house.

Li Beiyan listened carefully to Nanyu's story of the three years' encounter, and laughed along with him when he said something funny.Nanyu held the cigarette holder between his slender fingers and said, "I didn't expect you to go to such a difficult place and stay there for three years."

"I didn't expect it either."

Nanyu blew out a smoke ring and asked him again, "Why are you so cruel?"

Tired of standing, Li Beiyan squatted on the steps, and there were insects screaming in the grass.He picked up a fallen leaf casually. It rained last night and there were still a few crystal clear raindrops hanging on it.

"At first it was because I was angry and wanted to hide away, but after staying there for a long time, it was more of fear. I was afraid that no one would remember me when I came back. I felt that I would go to class with my children every day like that. fine."

Nanyu looked down at Li Beiyan from a high position, the once youthful and invincible handsome face became less childish and more mature.He opened his mouth and said, "Bei Yan, I still count on my promise to you before, are you willing to come with me?"

Li Beiyan huddled himself into a ball on the steps, knocked his chin on his knees and shook his head slightly. "Feel sorry."

He once agreed to leave with Nanyu, not because he wanted to get back together, but because he wanted to leave He Cong temporarily and think carefully.

Li Beiyan didn't expect that Nanyu had been trapped for so many years without having time to speak clearly.The relationship that was turned upside down by He Cong, there will be no chance to do it again.

"Thank you, you can still say this to me today." After everyone didn't remember him and ignored him, fortunately, Nanyu crossed the mountains and rivers to see him.

After taking his last puff of cigarette, Nanyu threw it on the ground and crushed it with his feet.

"I think now, I can give up."

"..."

That sentence came out of Nanyu's mouth along with the smoke, and it grabbed Li Beiyan's heart and hurt him hard.

He knew that he was sorry for Nanyu.

I don't want to say that you can be friends. People who have truly loved each other cannot be friends.

Li Beiyan could only raise his head with a smile and said, "Nanyu, don't meet me again in your next life."

"……kindness."

Nanyu came alone, and went back alone in the quiet night.As the plane flew across the sky, a red signal light was flashing. Li Beiyan waved at it, knowing clearly that he might never see Nanyu again.

The following days were long and boring. I went out an hour earlier every day to avoid being stuck in the morning rush hour. After fighting wits with the students, I drove back with the evening rush hour army.I don't want to cook anymore, and I occasionally want to order takeaway, and even dinner has become a dispensable thing in my life alone.

I bought a lot of Blu-ray discs, and made up for the movies I missed in the past few years. The "Avengers" series is over, my favorite Iron Man is dead, and Captain America has retired. "X-Men" graduated collectively, and Magneto rebelled against Charles again. "Social Network" reruns in Los Angeles, Andrew Garfield told the press he was sorry Jesse wasn't here.The "Big Bang Theory" I was chasing when I was a student also came to an end, and the broken elevator was finally repaired in the last episode. The last season of "Game of Thrones" was unfinished, and there are still loyal fans petitioning for a remake...

All the things that Li Beiyan liked once came to an end, and he told him loudly, stop, your youth is over here.It seems that there is nothing worth nostalgic for anymore.

In December, the school organizes parent-child activities, and cooperates to complete a delicacy and share it with the students.The family committee discussed and decided on Southeast Asian cuisine, and Li Beiyan saw their activity plan and thought it was feasible.

On the day of the event, almost all the parents who were busy with work came, except He Cong.

He Nian sat alone in the corner, watching other father and son cooking Tom Yum Kung soup.After Li Beiyan exchanged pleasantries with his parents, he walked over to talk to He Nian. Since the last time, the children's attitude towards him has changed a little, and they are not so targeted.

"Ms. Li, my dad can't get through on the phone abroad, and the driver uncle said he can't come."

"It's okay, teacher will do it with you."

He Nian shook his head, "Actually, I don't want to do it, my father hates Thai food."

Even though he has been doing psychological construction for himself since the beginning of the event, when Li Beiyan heard this sentence, he was hit with understanding and felt a dull pain.

He Cong knows better than anyone why He Cong hates Thai food.Surprisingly, even though he was brainwashed and forgotten, the man still hated the dinner he didn't attend.

Fortunately He Cong didn't come today, otherwise Li Beiyan really didn't know how to meet him.

On Cheng Xia's birthday, Li Beiyan didn't go, so he prepared a gift for him and sent it to his company by courier in the same city.

When I went back to school, I encountered a group of students fighting in the corridor. Several senior boys bullied a second-grade boy.

"What are you doing?"

A group of half-grown children didn't show any fear when they saw the teacher coming, but instead asked him to go away quickly and not meddle in other people's business.

Li Beiyan laughed angrily, grabbed their red scarves and criticized the education.Bad consequences followed. The parents of the children who took the lead in bullying rushed to the school in a Rolls Royce.

He was called to the principal's office, where parents yelled at him.

Teachers and doctors have been rated as high-risk occupations of the new generation. Li Beiyan has been fully prepared for this profession since entering this profession.But when he was really wronged and insulted by someone pointing his nose, he was still full of anger.

"You beat my son, I'm going to sue the Education Bureau, and I'll take your job and let you drink Northwest Wind."

Li Beiyan really wants to say yes, you can sue, I won't do it here anymore.

But he is no longer the high-spirited young man firmly protected by He Cong. His parents can wrong him and abuse him wantonly, and no one can help him out.

He wants to support himself and make his parents feel at ease. He needs this job.He comforted himself by treating it as if he had been bitten by a dog.

Half an hour later, the school adjusted the monitoring and confirmed that Li Beiyan had not done anything. The parents still refused to let it go, saying that the child's neck was red from being strangled.

Li Beiyan apologized in a low voice, and accompanied them to the hospital for an examination, registered to see the orthopedics department, had an MRI scan, and even had their blood drawn for a color Doppler ultrasound.

I ran back and forth dozens of times upstairs and downstairs, and the inspection was not completed until it was completely dark.

The results of the examination were all normal, and Li Beiyan stood at the door of the hospital and apologized to the parents again, even though he was not wrong.The child's father was full of contempt and called Li Beiyan a stinky old nine loudly. After that, he took his wife and children into the car and drove out from the hospital parking lot.

Li Beiyan clenched his hands tightly, then slowly loosened them, his palms were full of blood red marks from being pinched.He thought he was really old.

In the past, he would tremble with anger and vent his emotions indiscriminately when it came to things that were bigger than sesame and mung beans.Now that he has been insulted like this for no reason, he can still calmly say forget it.

If He Cong found out...if that He Cong from before found out, would he be rewarded with two packs of beef jerky?

Li Beiyan walked along the road to the apartment, passing by street trees that had been washed clean by the heavy rain, and street lamps emitting dim light.The cigarettes had already been smoked, and there was only an empty cigarette box left in his pocket. Li Beiyan squeezed it, sniffed the smell of tobacco on his fingers, and slightly satisfied his craving for the cigarette.

He was about to find a trash can to throw the box away, when a black Bugatti suddenly stopped beside him, the driver's window slid down, revealing He Cong's side face.

Li Beiyan suddenly remembered that year after they quarreled in Chongqing, he went back to Beijing alone, and some students got lost. It was also the night like this. He appeared at the intersection of the highway when he was almost desperate, bringing the abducted The running child came back.

He jumped on He Cong's back, and the man walked slowly with his back under the street lamp, and said to Li Beiyan in a low voice, "Yaoer, can we live a good life?"

Now that three years have passed, they still haven't followed the original agreement to live a good life.

"Teacher Li, why are you here?" Suddenly, a familiar voice came.

Li Beiyan looked up and saw He Cong's familiar and handsome face.

Looking carefully at his face, trying to find traces of anxiety, but apart from polite concern for the child's teacher, Li Beiyan did not find any other emotions.

He Cong opened the car door and stepped down, stepping towards him with his slender legs.

When he finally stood in front of him, he asked again, "Teacher Li, where are you going so late, how about I give you a ride?"

After only meeting him once, He Cong remembered Li Beiyan's face and called out his name.

The boredom that had been endured for a long time broke out at this moment, Li Beiyan couldn't help hugging him, and buried his head in He Cong's chest.

The grievances that had accumulated for many days surged upwards, he held on to the man's cuff tightly, and cried softly for the first time in ten years.

He knew that they could never go back again, and they could not go back to the days when Xiyuan was cherished by him in the palm of his hand during the bumpy years.

Those things that Li Beiyan didn't care about before, but now feel very precious, just peeled off layer by layer when he woke up one day and his eyes were dim.

Li Beiyan's cries gradually amplified, his coat was wet with tears, and He Cong reached out and patted his back gently.

"Be good, don't cry."
