love of life

Lin Zexi was absent-minded all afternoon, and people in the shop were panic-stricken and talking a lot.Especially this afternoon, the owner of the opposite hotel had a big quarrel with Director Yang and his party, and drove the group of people away fiercely, and the street was full of onlookers.The regular customers who came to eat in the store kept asking about the store's next plan, which made him overwhelmed and more tired than usual.The store closed early today, and Lin Zexi comforted everyone before leaving get off work.

Finally staying up late at night, he dialed Jiang Yu's phone, and the phone rang for a long time before he answered.

"Hey, this is the first time you've taken the initiative to call me. I'm so touched." Jiang Yu deliberately lowered his voice and said briskly.

"Are you still busy? Is it convenient to talk on the phone?"

"It's okay. The meeting just ended and I'm about to go back to the office. What's the matter? Tell me."

"Why don't I call you after you get back from work." He could feel Jiang Yu's busy atmosphere through the phone.

"It's okay. I'm not busy now. You finally called me. You need to chat for a while." As soon as Jiang Yu finished speaking, he heard the sound of a pair of high-heeled shoes walking in. "Mr. Jiang..." A young woman just opened her mouth, but was interrupted by Jiang Yu: "I see, leave the list, and I will find a way for the money." Jiang Yu deliberately lowered his voice, and used He covered the receiver with his hand, but it was still heard clearly in his ears.

With the sound of closing the door, the surroundings finally fell silent. "Okay, I'm in the office, we can talk slowly."

"It's past eight o'clock now, so let's go to dinner as soon as you finish your work."

"I've already eaten the meal, and I ordered takeaway during the meeting. You haven't told me why you want to call me on your own initiative?"

"I just wanted to tell you that the restaurant is going to be demolished soon."

"Demolition? Where did you hear the gossip? That area has been said to be demolished since before I came here. Five or six years have passed, and it has been safe and sound. Don't listen to other people's nonsense." Jiang Yu said nonchalantly.

"This time it's true. People from the office came here today and said that a notice will be issued in two days."

"Is it really demolished? Then the restaurant has to find a place to move quickly. Although the store is not big, it is quite troublesome to move, the key is that the place is not easy to find. Let me see, or next week, I will spend two days there to accompany You find a place."

Lin Zexi said without hesitation: "Don't bother, I won't open the restaurant. After the monetary compensation, I will transfer it to you, and forget about it."

"Why don't you open it? The restaurant is already under your name, why do you want to transfer the money to me?" Jiang Yu's voice crescendoed, and he rejected his proposal straightforwardly.

"As I said before, I just take care of it for you. It has always been yours. I never thought of encroaching on it."

"Zexi, I know your concerns. We have already decided on this issue before. The house and store are left to you, and you have the right to dispose of them."

"Okay, since I have the right to dispose, this is my decision."

"Zexi, what are your plans when the restaurant is demolished?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I want to rest for a while before talking."

At this time, there was a knock on the door from Jiang Yu's phone, and the sound of high-heeled shoes kicking from far to near: "Mr. Jiang, Boss Yan is sitting at the door, saying that there is something wrong with the check you gave him the day before yesterday, and he is waiting for you." Give me an explanation." "Okay, I see." Jiang Yu answered in a low voice, covering the receiver.

"Go ahead, I still have some accounts to settle."

"Zexi..." Jiang Yu hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

"No, it's okay, you go to bed early." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lin Zexi threw the phone on the sofa, and kept recalling the conversation with Jiang Yu just now in his mind.It sounded like something was wrong with his company, so he picked up his mobile phone and searched for Jiang's company information on the Internet.The entire Internet is still filled with Jiang's father's death, power struggles within the company, and no other useful information.He reopened the webpage and studied the housing prices here.The house that Jiang Yu gave him was only worth 100 million yuan.This amount of money was considered a huge sum of money to him, but it was a drop in the bucket to Jiang Yu.He insisted on returning the money to him, not a question of how much, but a question of principle.Having made up his mind, he began to think about closing the store.

In less than a week, the demolition notice was issued. For a small city, this is a rare speed, and the compensation standard is surprisingly high.There are also a series of rewards for taking the money and leaving within a month.Lin Zexi convened a meeting with the staff in the store to inform everyone that the Shunxin restaurant was closed.In order to thank everyone for their efforts, each person will be paid an extra three months' salary as severance pay.At the end of the meeting, Lin Zexi paid their wages in advance and closed the shop.

He sat alone in the empty shop.In the past half a year, he started a new life here, and gradually found his lost self.When he started to relax in this peaceful life, another change occurred.Fortunately, this variable is not a bad thing.He took the business license off the wall and reached out to feel his name.It was something that really belonged to him, and this tangible ownership gave him a solid sense of security.He took out his mobile phone, took a few photos of the store as souvenirs, turned off the lights and went upstairs.

He handed over the housing information to the demolition office, and it took about two to three weeks to hand over the keys and collect the money.It was rare for him to be so free, so he went to the nearby market for a stroll. There were less than half of the shops in operation.The hotel owner on the opposite side was arguing with the demolition workers again. This time, the urban management and law enforcement team all came, and a group of spectators gathered at the door. The scene was more lively than the market next door.Things have changed, and he has lost even the interest of visiting. This place has changed from a familiar place to a foreign place in his memory.After buying a la carte, he returned to his apartment.

I looked at the time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.He turned on the phone, and Jiang Yu hadn't heard from him for several days, which made him a little uneasy.He dialed Jiang Yu's phone, but it rang many times but no one answered.For the first time, he took the initiative to leave a message on WeChat to greet him, but there was still no reply.He put down his mobile phone and started to pack his things. The suitcase he came in was turned over, and he finished packing in less than half an hour. He didn't know what to do with the furniture and kitchen utensils in the house.Looking at his suitcase, he didn't know where to go.After wandering around for two or three years, I still don't have a fixed place to stay, and I feel a little desolate.But fortunately, I have some money and a friend I can contact, so I am quite relieved.He dialed the phone again, but after ringing for a long time, there was still no one answering. Just when he was about to hang up, he got through suddenly, but it was the voice of a strange man.

"Hello."

He froze for a moment, and asked, "Hello, is this Jiang Yu's phone number?"

"Oh, yes, it's not convenient for him to answer the phone now. I will tell him when he wakes up. Are you...Mr. Zexi?" The other party replied politely.

"Awake? Is he...sleeping now?" He was full of doubts, feeling a little uneasy.

The other party hesitated for a moment and said: "Mr. Jiang is not feeling well. He fainted in the office just now. I sent him to the hospital."

"Fainted? What's wrong? Is it serious?"

"After the doctor's examination, he said that there is no major problem, but he lacks rest and needs to stay in the hospital for observation for two days."

"Which hospital are you in?"

"It's at Union Hospital."

"okay, thank you."

He hung up the phone, thinking about Jiang Yu's physical condition.Jiang Yu didn't take the initiative to contact him these few days. He only thought he was busy, and he never took the initiative to bother him. He didn't expect him to be so busy that he was hospitalized.

He was restless all night, and there was still no news of Jiang Yu on his phone.It wasn't until the sky gradually turned white that he fell asleep in a daze.After only two or three hours of sleep, I woke up. I took out my phone and checked the time. It was only after eight o'clock.He stared intently at the ceiling, his mind blank.The restaurants are closed and there is nothing to do today.He picked up the phone several times and put it down again, and finally sent Jiang Yu another WeChat message. After waiting for half an hour, there was still no reply.Uneasy, he glanced at the suitcase next to him, and thought of looking for him.He looked it up on the Internet, and it only takes three hours to get there by high-speed train, and now he can still catch the high-speed train at ten o'clock.He hurriedly booked tickets on his mobile phone, finished washing, dragged his suitcase and was about to go out when there was a knock on the door.

"Who?" He asked towards the door.The other party just knocked on the door without answering.He threw the box in the living room and walked over to open the door.The moment the door opened, he felt his mind explode with a bang, and it went blank.

Gu Ming, who was wearing a white T-shirt, dark blue jeans, and a casual backpack on one shoulder, stood outside the door, staring at him, then glanced at the suitcase in the living room and asked, "Aren't you going to invite me in? rush out?"

He froze on the spot, didn't know how to react for a while, and moved to the side unconsciously when Gu Ming raised his foot to enter the door.Gu Ming only thought it was his silent invitation, and walked in unceremoniously.He looked around for a week and said: "This house looks very old from the outside, but I didn't expect it to be cleaned up well inside. As long as you are there, it is very warm. You have this kind of magical power." Gu Ming casually put the backpack on the On the sofa, I also sat down on my buttocks.

Lin Zexi closed the door silently, took out his mobile phone to check the time, stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"

Gu Ming lowered his head slightly and looked up at him, smiled and said, "Didn't I say that I would definitely find you? Now I'm here."

"What are you doing here? Haven't we been in a relationship for a long time?" Lin Zexi suppressed his confused thoughts, and only said the simplest words, for fear of accidentally saying something wrong.

Gu Ming curled his lips indifferently, stood up from the sofa, walked around the room, and finally stopped at the door of the bedroom.He didn't go in, but just stood at the door of the bedroom and looked inside and said, "It's just a pillow, and he left you here alone to go to Shanghai?" After he finished speaking, he turned and pointed to the suitcase and said, "You Are you planning to find a husband from thousands of miles? No one wants you anymore, and you still lick your face and chase after him? It’s different from your decisive style at the beginning. I don’t even know which one is the real you.” Gu Ming said while shaking Head bowed and sighed, ridiculed and playful at a glance.

Lin Zexi didn't say anything, just kept staring at the person in front of him.In less than a year, his whole person seemed to have changed.The same shape and clothes, but with completely different expressions on their faces, and sharp words in their mouths.In the past, although he often had a bad attitude and hurt people when he spoke, he gave the impression that he was a simple big boy.Spoiled by his surroundings, self-centered big boy, at least somewhat sincere.But now he is unpredictable, and even feels inexplicably dangerous.Lin Zexi took two steps back unconsciously, and he didn't feel at ease until there was a distance of about two meters between the two of them.His actions annoyed Gu Ming.

"What's the matter? You've only been away for a few months and you're busy drawing a line with me? Speaking of which, you've stayed with me longer than him. How come you forget me so quickly, and you can't wait." Gu Ming Gritting his teeth, each word clearly came out of his mouth, and he approached him while speaking.

Lin Zexi subconsciously looked back, and as soon as he took a step back, his back was against the wall of the living room.Just as he took a step to the side with his right foot, before he could move his body, Gu Ming stretched out his hands to hold his shoulders and pressed him against the wall.Before he could react in time, Gu Ming leaned over and kissed him.The moment the lips of the two were intertwined, Lin Zexi came back to his senses.He stretched out his hand and pushed Gu Ming hard, the other's chest was like a wall, no matter how he pushed it, it would be of no avail.The other party even pressed his whole body up, making him unable to move, so he could only accept it.After Gu Ming's lips came up, his tongue also unceremoniously drove straight in, entangled with his, or sucking or biting, eager to vent the resentment in his heart, and extravagantly hoping to fill the emptiness in his chest.Gu Ming kept asking for kisses endlessly until he felt that the person in his arms lost his balance and gradually slid down.He reluctantly let go of his lips, stretched out his left hand to wrap his arms around his slipping waist, and let him stick to his body, intimately.

Both of them panted heavily, taking deep breaths to calm themselves down.Lin Zexi pushed him away and turned away from him.But Gu Ming's gaze never left him for a moment.Over the past six months or so, the throbbing in his heart has been harassing him.He couldn't control his desire to see him. He had met and kissed in dreams countless times. The feeling in the dream drove him to inquire about him constantly, and ran over to see him immediately.When he finally hugged him and kissed him for real, he realized that those beautiful experiences in the dream were nothing compared to the reality. The joy and satisfaction in the dream were not even [-]% of the reality.He wants this person.
