prefer silence

September NO.11, Chen Zheng is in a bad mood today.

Yesterday was his 28th birthday. Li Yuyuan cooked him a table of delicious dishes, including his favorite braised fish with celery.

Li Yuyuan hated celery very much. Although he didn't say this, Chen Zheng could see it himself.Li Yuyuan's chopsticks will always go around the plate of braised fish, even if he only uses celery as a side dish, he will never touch the ingredients that have been implicated innocently.

Chen Zheng had a very happy time yesterday, so happy that he had an illusion.

It seems that he and Li Yuyuan are just like other normal small families, from love to marriage, from seeing their parents to the official seal of the red book, instead of going through an overly embarrassing beginning.

Chen Zheng admits that he has always been worried about Li Yuyuan's pressure from his parents to force him to marry, but he also admits that as time goes by, his rejection of Li Yuyuan has become weaker and weaker, to the point that he sometimes forgets, He didn't love Li Yuyuan at first, and this marriage was just to repay his kindness.

A new colleague came to the law firm today, a returnee.

The new colleague is You Yu, his ex-boyfriend, a person that Chen Zheng once classified in his heart as the category of old and dead.

Chen Zheng claims that his personality is quite calm and generous, and he never really has a deep sense of disgust towards anyone.

You Yu is an exception.

He was once gray in Chen Zheng's eyes. After You Yu went abroad, every time Chen Zheng thought of him, he felt uncontrollable contempt and disgust in his heart.Contempt for his character, disgusted that he really loved him.

Slowly, You Yu faded from his memory, and new memories filled up the old things that he had deliberately forgotten.But Chen Zheng never expected to see him in Tongli today, and he became his colleague.

"Old Chen, say hello to the newcomer, this is an alumnus from the same class as you."

You Yu stretched out his hand and looked at Chen Zheng with a smile, "Hi, I'm the new You Yu."

Chen Zheng suppressed the instinctive resentment in his heart, and bent the corners of his mouth casually, "Hello, I'm Chen Zheng."

……

In the tea room, Chen Zheng picked up a cup of coffee and was about to take it away when You Yu leaned against the glass door with an unlit cigarette in his mouth, "Shall we talk?"

"Don't talk about it, if you have any questions, just send them online."

Chen Zheng walked away, You Yu asked behind him: "Chen Zheng, are you afraid of me? Are you afraid to face me?"

Chen Zheng's footsteps stopped, and he turned his head, "Shouldn't you be afraid of me?"

"Yes, I'm afraid, but I'm still back." You Yu walked up to Chen Zheng and looked him straight in the eyes, "Let me ask you, have you missed me in the past seven years?"

Chen Zheng was almost amused by his question, it's been seven years, not to mention that they broke up in such a decisive way, how did You Yu have the face to ask?

"Yes, I want you to go to jail, okay?"

You Yu laughed softly, "Forget it. No matter what you think about me, just think about it. I think it's good. This proves that you haven't forgotten me."

"You can't forget me. You love me deeply and hate me deeply. Chen Zheng, you still love me. Let's get back together."

You Yu looked at Chen Zheng movedly, with affection in his eyes.

Chen Zheng couldn't help but raised his brows, with an inexplicable expression on his face, "I'm already married, and I have a lover. Why didn't I realize that you are so naive and talk to yourself so much before?"

"Ah, you're married, I know." You Yu had a stubborn face on his face, "It's the kid who was pestering you before. If you divorce him, we can be together."

"No, with or without him, it's impossible for us to get back together. You Yu, I don't love you a long time ago, and this is all your fault."

Chen Zheng glanced at You Yu coldly, then quickly walked away from him with a cup of warm coffee.

As the end of get off work was approaching, some colleagues went out for dinner. Chen Zheng decided to go home and eat after considering that he would have to work overtime at night.He turned on his phone and found that Li Yuyuan had sent him a WeChat message at noon, telling him to eat well.

Chen Zheng replied "Yes", and was wondering if he should say anything more, when a new message popped up suddenly.

[You Yu: Help me move next Saturday, Lawyer Chen. 】

Chen Zheng was angry at You Yu's shamelessness, and replied to him: [I have to work overtime that day, I don't have time, I suggest you find a professional moving company.In addition, we don't know each other well, so don't ask me for anything other than work in the future. 】

[You Yu: I have too little luggage, it's not cost-effective to find a moving company.Chen Zheng, have you forgotten my family's financial conditions?Anyway, I can be regarded as your colleague, you don't even want to let me take a ride.Isn't this just a matter of chance, my newly rented house is in your neighborhood, if you don't want to, do you mind if I come to meet your wife? 】

Chen Zheng panicked for a moment for no reason, he knew that You Yu was secretly threatening him.

【Chen Zheng: This is just this time, don't make an example next time, you know I always do what I say.Don't disturb him, you are not welcome in our family. 】

After posting this passage, Chen Zheng clenched his fists and sighed. He didn't know how much Li Yuyuan knew about You Yu, but...

Even if they may separate in the future, it cannot be because of You Yu.Not worth it.

Chen Zheng tried his best to ignore the sudden uneasiness and anxiety, ignoring the protection fence his brain subconsciously wove for his home.

He didn't think deeply about why he was so afraid of Li Yuyuan knowing You Yu's existence.

This depressed mood lasted until Chen Zheng returned home.Li Yuyuan saw that his face was not good, and asked him worriedly what happened.Chen Zheng couldn't tell the truth, so he could only prevaricate, and hid in the bathroom in a panic.

He sprayed the shower on his hair, constantly thinking about how to deal with You Yu's stalking.At one point, he even had the dark thought that maybe he could ask Papa Li to help him fire You Yu.

Of course, this thought was only fleeting, Chen Zheng knew how difficult it was to get into Tong Li, if he did this, what would be the difference between him and You Yu?

Coming soon next Saturday.Chen Zheng had to work overtime that day, and Li Yuyuan had to go fishing with Song Zhiyuan.

Because Chen Zheng is busier than Li Yuyuan at work, he hardly interferes with Li Yuyuan's entertainment activities.Li Yuyuan has few friends. He usually goes out with his college classmate and colleague Song Zhiyuan, drinking or watching movies. It is his first time to go fishing.

"Yuan Yuan, can you fish?"

"No." Li Yuyuan played with his fingers, "Song Zhiyuan will teach me, he is amazing."

Chen Zheng couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. According to Li Yuyuan, that Song Zhiyuan was his best friend.Chen Zheng thought that they were together at work every day, and once they watched a movie together until ten o'clock in the evening, and couldn't help but worry secretly.

When he first got married, Chen Zheng didn't care about these things, and he didn't care about them.When he started to care, he still couldn't speak.He is ashamed to express his thoughts, these twists and turns are hidden in the hesitation to speak several times, it is a stubbornness that does not express love and does not compromise.
