I became a substitute for my brother

Qin Wenyuan never dreamed that he would receive a call from Tao Heng. He was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands. He picked up the phone tremblingly. The moment he heard Tao Heng's voice, he almost crushed the phone screen .

On the contrary, Tao Heng's voice was calm, not like an old acquaintance, but a business partner, "I don't know if it is suitable, I have something to talk to you about."

"Appropriate!" Qin Wenyuan replied without even thinking about it. After finishing speaking, he realized that he might scare Tao Heng, so he said softly, "I happen to have time today, how about meeting and talking?"

Tao Heng on the other end of the phone fell silent, Qin Wenyuan took a breath, anxiously waiting for his answer.Time passed bit by bit, and as the silence became longer and longer, Qin Wenyuan's heart sank little by little, "Tao Heng..."

"Okay." Tao Heng said suddenly.

Qin Wenyuan's fingers suddenly relaxed, and he could hardly hold the phone. He exhaled slowly and said, "Okay, where are you now? I'll go pick you up."

"No, you book a place, I'll go there by myself."

"……it is good."

After Qin Wenyuan hung up the phone, he immediately dialed Sun Lang and asked him to arrange a place with an elegant environment suitable for conversation as quickly as possible. Sun Lang asked him what else he wanted, and he thought about it and said that the food should be delicious.

Sun Lang said he got it, and after waiting for a while, Sun Lang sent the address of the restaurant, Qin Wenyuan hurriedly sent it to Tao Heng, and Tao Heng replied with a line: I will arrive in an hour.

After receiving the text message, Qin Wenyuan turned the car around, kicked the accelerator and drove towards the restaurant.

Sun Lang is very reliable in his work. The restaurant he chose is not luxurious, but it is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle. The environment is beautiful and suitable for conversation.Qin Wenyuan sat in the private room and waited for more than half an hour for Tao Heng to arrive. When he was led in by the waiter, Qin Wenyuan stood up from his seat, like an elementary school student who was caught by the teacher and told gossip in class.

Tao Heng walked in with a cane. He walked very slowly, as if he was stepping on Qin Wenyuan's heart.His feet are slightly lame. Although he has paid attention to them, his physical defects cannot be changed by his attention.

Qin Wenyuan wanted to move the chair for Tao Heng, but he was afraid of frightening him. Before hesitating, Tao Heng sat down opposite him, put away his crutches and put it in the chair beside him.Qin Wenyuan withdrew his half-stepped foot, and said to the waiter, "You go out first, I will call you if necessary."

The waiter graciously closed the door for them, and the private room fell into silence. They were silent for a long time, and finally Tao Heng spoke first: "I have something to tell you about today."

"No hurry," Qin Wenyuan added a cup of tea for him, "Let's have something to eat first, what do you want?"

"No," Tao Heng refused, "I've already had lunch."

Qin Wenyuan looked at his watch, "It's past four o'clock, I should be hungry."

Tao Heng hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Alright then."

Qin Wenyuan was overjoyed, and pushed the opened menu over, "Look at it, I'll ask the waiter to come in and order."

Tao Heng casually flipped through two pages, ordered two light dishes, Qin Wenyuan tried to figure out his current taste, added two more, closed the menu and asked him, "Do you want some wine?"

Tao Heng shook his head, "No need."

After the waiter left, Qin Wenyuan kept staring at him. He didn't seem to realize how hot his gaze was, so hot that Tao Heng couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to. He coughed lightly, and was about to speak, the waiter Pushing open the door and coming in to refill the tea, put the dishes on the table, the words stuck in my throat and I didn't say anything, and waited for the waiter to get out, and then started to serve the dishes one after another.During this period, Qin Wenyuan never took his eyes off him.

For the first time in so many years, Tao Heng realized how embarrassing it is to be stared at by others. After all the food was served and everyone went out, he finally couldn't help but said, "I have something to tell you. .”

"Let's eat the vegetables first." Qin Wenyuan interrupted him again.

"Qin Wenyuan." Tao Heng picked up the teacup and put it down heavily. The ceramics made a sound when they collided with the table, hitting the eardrums of the two, but their hearts trembled.

Tao Heng closed his eyes and said, "Let's talk about things first, and eat after we finish talking."

Qin Wenyuan's Adam's apple slipped, and he put down the chopsticks he was holding tightly in his hand, "Okay, tell me."

Tao Heng asked him: "Do you still remember Fang Heng?"

Qin Wenyuan's expression was a little blank, "Who?"

Hearing this, Tao Heng didn't feel happy, but felt rather sad, "The premiere of "Lore" five years ago, in the hotel bathroom."

Qin Wenyuan didn't speak, but his expression changed.

Tao Heng looked at him, "Do you remember? Do you want me to remind you?"

There was obvious panic on Qin Wenyuan's face, Tao Heng smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, I'm not here to settle the old score, I just want to remind you that the former lover was bluffing and cheating under your banner. I can't control it, but he provoked my artist, so I can't control it."

Qin Wenyuan's whole brain was in a trance. He knew what he should explain, but he couldn't say a word.Tao Heng's reminders and accusations slapped him hard in the face like two slaps in the face, making him dizzy and at a loss. Because he existed, he couldn't explain it. In the face of the truth, any explanation is like sophistry. And he was unwilling to make any sophistry in front of Tao Heng.

People can't make mistakes, and every mistake has to pay countless prices to make up for it, and some mistakes can never be made up for.

"I……"

Qin Wenyuan's voice was a little dry again, as if it was congested by countless gravel, he cleared his throat, and suddenly remembered a sentence he had heard somewhere, "My wife was angry, no matter right or wrong, it's always right to apologize first, so I blurted out : "Sorry, I was wrong."

Tao Heng: "..."

According to the law of ordinary couples, Tao Heng should say "what's wrong with you?" But they are not husband and wife, and they are not even ordinary friends. If you insist, they can only be regarded as the most familiar strangers ever.As for apologizing, Qin Wenyuan did feel sorry for him, but after five years, it doesn't matter if he made a big mistake. It doesn't matter whether he forgives or not, but forget it. He doesn't care about the injuries that have already happened, but just forget it, it's over, let everything pass with time.

He leaned on the back of the chair, stared into Qin Wenyuan's eyes full of regret, and said, "It's all over, I'm living a good life now, you don't have to blame yourself, let it go."

lay down?how to put it?

Qin Wenyuan was dizzy, how could he let it go, if he could let it go, he wouldn't have been in pain for so many years, but his pain was all brought on by his own bastard, so what's the matter with Tao Heng?Tao Heng just wanted to live a life free from pain, shouldn't he help him?

But what should he do?Who will save him, a wandering soul who has been wandering for many years and has nowhere to go?
