prefer silence

The episode of that day did not have any substantial impact, and Chen Zheng and I still got along as before.

But I always felt sorry in my heart, so I apologized to Chen Zheng.

After a month, he didn't remember that little thing much anymore, he just said: "It's okay, with me, you don't need to say sorry."

It seems that he really doesn't care much about my attitude towards him, and my apology is superfluous.

Actually, I've figured it out a long time ago, haven't I?If there is no love, no matter who is married to Chen Zheng, he will always look calm.

I recalled the scene when I first met Chen Zheng.

Strange to say, many memories of my childhood were gradually lost as I grew up, but I remember the part of meeting Chen Zheng very clearly.

When I first arrived at Li's house, I was a small five-year-old child who didn't like to talk, and everyone teased me.

I can't say Mom and Dad, I can only say Fangfang. My parents taught me over and over again. After two months, I finally learned it.

The above is what my mother told me, I have no impression.

When I was about seven years old, there was a new neighbor next door, Chen Zheng's family. This neighbor has been doing this for decades, and we are still neighbors to this day.

But Chen Zheng and I are not very close, the reason is that he is four years older than me, and I can't hang out with him.And I was introverted and silent when I was young. My cousin would sweetly call him brother when I saw him, but I would just giggle when I saw him.

When we grow up, every time we meet in the corridor, I call him brother Zheng, and he nods in response.

The relationship between Li and Chen is very good, and Chen Zheng's parents are also very good to me.They didn't mind that I was the adopted son of the Li family. In their words, if Chen Zhengfei was gay, he could only be with me, Li Yuyuan.

The first time I met Chen Zheng was when he knocked on my door to borrow a lighter. The natural gas stove in their house was broken and had to be lit with an open flame.

My mother asked him to eat some fruit in the living room, but he didn't come in, so I sat on the sofa and stared at him.He praised me for being cute, so my mother asked me to call him brother, but I didn't call him, and then my mother gave him the lighter, and he left.

The first encounter between Chen Zheng and I was such a trivial matter that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.

……

It's almost New Year's Day, and the parents of the two families decided to book a banquet for the whole family to have a meal together. Of course, Chen Zheng and I had to go.

Our New Year's Eve plan is as follows:

Go shopping in the mall in the morning and buy some new clothes.I also want to put a beautiful vase in the bedroom, and order fresh roses every day for display, adding a little romantic atmosphere to the bedroom.

In the afternoon, we will go to the cinema to watch the new blockbuster comedy. After watching the movie, we will go to the central square to watch the musical fountain. During holidays, the fountain show will be very beautiful.

The main maker of this perfect plan is me, and Chen Zheng can only say "yes" and "ok".

In fact, there are Christmas and Christmas Eve before New Year's Day, but our company will not have a holiday on Christmas, and neither will Chen Zheng's office.

On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, our company could leave work early so that everyone could date. I left work early, but Chen Zheng not only did not, but also had to work overtime.

I really didn't want such a couple's holy night to be wasted again, so I drove to the law firm on impulse.

One of the partners in the law firm is my dad, who often took me to the firm when I was young.When I was in college, the law firm rented a more upscale office building. My dad's work was almost entirely focused on teaching, and he didn't care much about business matters, so I rarely went there.

After entering the door, I asked the front desk where Lawyer Chen Zheng was. I was his partner and I wanted to find him.

The front desk is a new face, and he doesn't know me, so he asked me to call Lawyer Chen to come out.Seeing that I failed to get through after calling several times, the front desk lady's expression became suspicious.

I was a little embarrassed, when Lao Zheng appeared and relieved me, he is really my big brother.

Lao Zheng explained to the front desk and took me to find Chen Zheng. On the way, he asked me: "Have you made an appointment with Lao Chen to go out on Christmas Eve?"

"No." I shook my head, "I know he's busy, so I just came to see him."

Lao Zheng clicked his tongue and said: "Old Chen is too dedicated. Today, several of our partners left early. Let's be considerate of each other and pass by with a blind eye. Here, Lao Chen is there Discuss the case with our new colleague, why don't you sit here for a while, and take him away when he comes out."

I looked in the direction Lao Zheng pointed.

The scene of the small conference room passed through the transparent glass and was clearly reflected in my pupils. Chen Zheng was sitting with another young man, they were talking and laughing happily, and when the young man talked about excitement, he even gestured with his hands .

Chen Zheng's expression is vivid, with a vigor that I seldom see.

——That man is You Yu!

You Yu is back!This realization terrified me.

I stopped and stood there stiffly, my soul seemed to be taken out instantly.

There were two voices arguing in my head, the brave me who was already eager to rush in and scold them, and the cowardly me who just wanted to run away.

I forced a smile on my face and said to Lao Zheng, "Old Zheng, I suddenly remembered that my company still has something to do, so I left first."

I ran away.

Sitting in the coffee shop under the office building, I ordered a cup of coffee and drank it slowly.

The unsweetened coffee was bitter and burned my tongue.I frowned, trying not to let the tears fall from my eyes.

Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of the hem of the black suit pants. There was an extra person at the table. I looked up—it was Chen Zheng.

Chen Zheng sat across from me, he should have run down, panting heavily, "Yuan Yuan, Lao Zheng said you came to look for me, why didn't you call me out when you saw me?"

I didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Should I just say, I saw you chatting with your first boyfriend, so I dare not disturb you?

I had no choice but to remain silent.

Chen Zheng said again: "I didn't go to foreign festivals, you know, we didn't have one before. You come to see me now, do you... want to date me? Then where do you want to go?"

His words seemed to me to have a strong sense of compulsion, as if I wanted to force him to go.

I was a little aggrieved and angry, "I just came to see you. After seeing you, I'm leaving. You can go back to work."

Chen Zheng obviously didn't believe it, he said, "Then let's go home together, anyway, I'm going to get off work soon."

"No need, didn't you send me a message today, saying that you have to work late?" I insisted on leaving alone, "I came here by car, it's very convenient to go back by yourself, you can go back to work quickly."

After Chen Zheng left, I called Song Zhiyuan.

"Hello? Song Zhiyuan, come out and have a drink with me now?"

Hey, it's really hard to be a sensible husband.
