In the café near the school, Zhao Panyi went in at four o'clock in the afternoon, but there were almost no customers. This is one of the best stores in Zhongshi's business before, and it is also the one that Zhongshi is most proud of. Zhao Fatyi chose a seat by the window and sat down before picking up the menu and ordering coffee, and it took a long time for the waiter to ask what to drink, and it took a while before it was served. Zhao Panyi shook her head and smiled helplessly, took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Zhong Shi: "I'm sitting in your earliest coffee shop in our school right now, I hope you have time to come over and have a cup of coffee with me." I want to taste the coffee you brewed for me, is it convenient?" Zhao Panyi smiled at the lively snack street outside, only this coffee shop was unusually deserted. Zhong Shi did give up and completely forgot his original dream.

When the coffee was almost finished, Zhong Shi walked into the store with a tired face, and the waiter in the store didn't know him. Zhong Shi looked at the person she used to love the most in her middle age and hadn't seen for many years, she still smiled so brightly, she was still the same as before, and she had never changed much. Sitting on the bench opposite Zhao Fatyi, Zhong Shi took a closer look at Zhao Fatyi before speaking, "Long time no see, are you still so happy and splendid?" It seems that your choice of Li Hao is indeed the wisest decision, and it may be much better than choosing me." "Self-abandonment is a man's most humiliating and despicable excuse.

Zhao Fatyi smiled, "I'm sitting here waiting for you, remembering the time we were in love." At that time, you seemed to have a sensational personality, standing downstairs in my classroom with a large bouquet of roses, attracting attention, and letting my classmates and friends testify to your feelings for me, but you know that it was your behavior that completely disappointed me and began to shake my confidence to go on with you. What a man needs is to be down-to-earth, we will grow up and must grow up, and life is not a romance that can go on smoothly. It's good to have flowers, but it's too vain. Zhong Shi, is it so difficult for you to be down-to-earth? You are a man, you are married and have children, you have a family, you must bear the corresponding responsibility. You're no longer a bachelor in your twenties, you can just go, you can do whatever it takes. Zhong Shi, I'm very glad that I took the initiative to break up with you now, otherwise I would be the one who has no choice but to turn to everywhere now. Zhao Fatyi said these ugly words with a calm smile on her face.

"Then tell me, how down-to-earth is your Li Hao? In addition to letting you live in the firewood, rice, oil, and salt that serve your parents-in-law all the time, and in addition to making you always exhausted by two children and a large family, he is the down-to-earth you want? Is this what you call not vain? Then I tell you for sure that I can't do it in my life, let alone want to do it. Firewood, rice, oil, and salt will only deprive you of your beauty and wisdom, and will not make you more beautiful and moving?" Zhong Shi still spoke loudly, he always felt that Li Hao did not deserve to get, let alone deserve, Zhao Fatyi's love and confidence for so long. In the past few decades, he still hasn't let go of the shame of being given up by Zhao Fatyi at the beginning.

Zhao Fatyi looked at this man who once thought she loved her deeply, she was fortunate to break up with him according to her sincerity, regardless of returning to Li Hao, otherwise she would not be sitting here with a calm smile on her face today. Zhao Fatyi looked at Zhong Shi, "My understanding of you before was really correct, are you really living in your own world forever and can't extricate yourself, or do you think that you are the most important?" Zhong Shi, it sounds good, you have a personality, you don't say it well, you don't grow up, you are still a little boy's mentality, is it because your uncle and they used to be too used to you? Or is it because you have been relatively smooth all your life, so you still haven't learned to think about others. When I talk about other people, I am not outsiders, but your family, your old parents, your wife and children, you should think more about them? Why do you think about everything for yourself, and ignore the feelings and pain of your relatives at all? With all due respect, you're really too selfish and too egoistic. Zhao Fatyi said Zhong Shi and thought of Li Hao. has been married for so many years, his words and hearts are the most important thing about home and family, and he has always considered the feelings of his family first, this is a really mature and good man. Li Hao's appearance is not as good as Zhong Shi, but as long as his psychology is healthy and mature, this is the guarantee of her happiness in this life. "Zhong Shi, that's all I say, I hope you grow up and be responsible for your family and loved ones. After speaking, Zhao Fatyi left the café after paying, it was useless to say more, and it was up to Zhong Shi to choose until he clicked.

Zhao Panyi walked out of the café and turned his head to look at Zhong Shi sitting in the floor-to-ceiling glass window. I can't tell that Zhong Shi is the handsome guy who dominates the various clubs of the school, let alone the senior brother who has a bunch of small fans behind him. Although he is indeed better than Li Hao now, it is only a difference in appearance, no, it is incomparable. Li Hao has always been a good husband and father that she is proud of.

Zhong Shi looked at the coffee in front of him, it was because Zhao Panyi liked to drink coffee very much that he devoted himself to the coffee industry, but he didn't expect that Zhao Panyi still likes to drink coffee so much, but now he no longer has the leisure to make a cup of coffee for Zhao Pangyi. Seeing the old person he used to love the most, he wondered why Li Hao's feelings for Zhao Fatyi would not change in the slightest? Zhao Fatyi is no longer the beautiful girl she was at the beginning?

In the evening, Zhao Panyi was in the study, and Li Hao went to the study again and again, intentionally or unintentionally, either to ask his wife if she wanted to drink water, or to ask if she needed to eat some fruit? Zhao Panyi smiled at her husband's performance, but she didn't take the initiative to say anything about meeting Zhong Shi, and this is what Li Hao wanted to ask? When Li Hao entered the study for the third time, Zhao Panyi walked over from behind the desk and grabbed her husband's arm, "Let's go out for a walk, okay?" You invite me to have a cup of coffee, I have a paper to sort out today, so I have to work hard tonight. Now go out for a walk with me, how about it?" Zhao Fatyi didn't want to talk about her ex-boyfriend in front of the children who were about to take the college entrance examination and her parents-in-law? This is not because she is worried that they are not satisfied with her, but because she respects her family.

Li Hao looked at his wife's smile, nodded, and put up with it for the time being if he wanted to ask. Zhao Fatyi's smile is the biggest reward in his life, as long as he sees her bright smile, no matter what he encounters or how tired and hard he is, it will be miraculously swept away, which is the reason why he has remained unchanged in this life. Zhao Fatyi is already the best gift that fate has given him, he can't be greedy, otherwise he will lose everything!

Li's father and mother sat in the living room watching TV, wondering how their son and his wife were talking strangely! Li's mother asked his wife curiously: "Did they quarrel, why was the atmosphere so strange? Is there something wrong with the two of them going for a walk outside so late?"

Father Li smiled and shook his head, "Are you still in the mood to take care of their affairs now? How old are they, let them deal with it themselves! As long as we take care of ourselves, we will already be doing them a great favor." I now feel that whatever the problem is, it will be solved. Because Li Hao loves his wife and this family very much, and Fat Yi also cherishes what he has, there is no contradiction for them that cannot be solved!"

Mother Li glared at her wife, "You can think about it!" After turning her head to watch the TV a few times, she said, "Do you want to ask our granddaughter, will she know anything?" I watched Li Hao eat dinner today and was absent-minded, is there a big problem that he will be like this?" Mother Li was still not at ease.

Father Li shook his head helplessly, "Are you tired? Okay, don't think about anything, let's watch TV!" Father Li just doesn't want his wife and himself to interfere too much in the children's affairs, because the children really don't need them to worry about it anymore.

Li Hao and his wife walked out of the community, each holding a dog. Li Hao and his wife walked side by side, wanting to ask something, but they didn't speak. The two of them didn't speak all the way, until they walked to the door of the nearby café, Li Hao asked: "What do you want to drink? big cup or small cup? It's too late now, can you drink a small cup?" Li Hao always remembers feeling sorry for his wife and considering her feelings and mood, which has become a habit for him. If every couple could get along like this, and let love sublimate into family affection and inseparable feelings, there would not be so many divorced couples.

"I listen to you, you help me decide! Zhao Fatyi led the two dogs and looked at Li Hao with a smile. Li Hao nodded and walked into the café. Zhao Fatyi smiled at his back, the steadfastness and happiness in her heart could not be deceived by herself! No matter what others were like, she always firmly believed that the marriage and husband she chose were the most suitable for her and could bring her the most happiness! When her children were about to graduate from college, she still believed in it.

"Here, hot! Li Hao handed it to his wife and took the leash in her hand at the same time. "Wife, I'm actually, I," Li Hao didn't finish speaking.

"Husband, let's go to that small park to talk!Wow, the coffee my husband bought is delicious, it's coffee full of love!" Zhao Fatyi smiled and took the lead after speaking, the dogs chased after him, and Li Hao was also pulled and chased over.

Sitting on the bench, Zhao Fatyi leaned on her husband's shoulder, "You have always wanted to ask me what Zhong Shi and I talked about? Since you care so much, why don't you say it, let me care more about you because you care, let me know what I mean to you, what's wrong with this? Why don't you say it, you show that you care about Zhong Shi's affairs, and how much you care about me seeing others, I will only be happy, and I won't think you are stingy?" We have been married for so many years, you should show that you care, otherwise, I thought you didn't care who I saw anymore, and you didn't care about my heart?" Zhao Fatyi used a lot of "care" in a row, which made Li Hao smile reassuringly.

"Fat Yi, thank you! In this way, tell me that Zhong Shi is already just an acquaintance in your heart, not an ex-boyfriend, and not a person who can make you feel upset. Fat Yi, thank you for being so considerate, and thank you for caring so much about my feelings and respecting my feelings. To be able to marry you in this life, I, Li Hao, am really fortunate in my third life!" Li Hao held his wife's hand tightly. Although Zhao Fatyi did not say what she talked about with Zhong Shi, she confirmed her mind to Li Hao in another way.

"It's good if you understand!" Zhao Fatyi held her husband's big hand with both hands, "I know and understand who is the most important and dearest person in my life." In fact, we have walked together for so many years, sharing this family and all the responsibilities, do you think that you and I can change the family relationship because of the appearance of an old person?" Zhao Fatyi patted her husband's shoulder, "In the future, you are not allowed to have no confidence in yourself like this." Remember, you are my choice, a choice that I have persevered in my life and have no regrets. ”

Li Hao nodded, "I remembered, and I will always remember it in the future." Wife, please also remember that you are also the only choice in my life, there is no other better and more suitable, only you. Therefore, at all times, you must firmly believe that your husband and I are the only one in you, and this is the case in this life! This is my commitment, and it is my insistence. Although Li Hao is not tempted, there are still people who really understand him occasionally.

When I got home, the two old people had already fallen asleep, but Fat Yi still asked her husband to take a look as usual, after all, it was better to be cautious when she was older! Zhao Fat Yi knocked on the door and stood at the door of her daughter's room, "Baby, Mom and Dad are back, I bought you something to eat, and Mom sent it in for you, is it okay?" The daughter took the initiative to come over and open the door, and pulled her mother in, and closed the door of the room with her hand.

"Mom, this is what I sandwiched in the book when I was reading it just now, it seems to be a love letter. "Someone's sweet and cute daughter will definitely be chased, but Fat Yi didn't expect to receive a love letter at this time. Fat Yi took the love letter, just looked at it and put it aside. Li Kangxing looked at his mother in surprise, "Don't you take a look? If you don't look at it, how can you go to the teacher and say? Mom, it's so strange that you react so calmly? When my brother received a love letter before, you reacted like this, and my brother solved it himself, because my brother has always been more mature and sensible than ordinary boys, but I am a girl, and I am not as powerful as my brother!" The daughter's reaction made Zhao Panyi smile. Being young and heartwarming is the best memory, but it's just a heartbeat, just a memory. Once you get involved, maybe the good memories become painful.

Zhao Panyi raised her hand and touched her daughter's face, "Our baby has really grown up and has received a love letter." After speaking, he looked into his daughter's eyes, "Can you tell your mother what you plan to do? No matter what kind of decision it is, can you let your mother know?" Zhao Fatyi asked her daughter with a smile. The eighteen-year-old daughter should have her own choices and decisions, just like she was at the beginning.

"Mom, I'm facing the college entrance examination now, why aren't you worried at all? As long as the parents of our classmates face such a situation, almost all of them come to the school to deal with it with earth-shattering, why are you so calm?" Li Kangxing was pampered by the family and grew up, but Zhao Fatyi trained her and her brother to decide for themselves since she was a child, and decided that she and her brother could not regret it in the future, let alone cheat.

"Mom believes that you and your brother have their own decisions, and Mom doesn't interfere. It's your own life, and you're in charge of it. Baby, although you will always be our baby, you are already an adult, and adults are responsible for their own choices and decisions, and they are responsible for a lifetime. Mom has said these words countless times, and now she continues to repeat them. Your life is your own, so it's good to be responsible for yourself. Zhao Fatyi believes in her daughter's choice.

Li Kangxing looked at his mother with a smile, "No wonder my brother wants to find a girl as smart as my mother so much, it turns out that my mother should indeed be our idol." The daughter took her mother's hand, "Mom, thank you for your trust in us." Because of this trust, I, like my brother, understand better what kind of choice is best for me, and I also know what I should do, thank you Mom. Actually, I just told you about this on purpose, because my brother kept saying that you would let us figure it out by ourselves, and you always believed in our own choice, but I think you just have that confidence in your brother, and you don't necessarily have that confidence in me?

Zhao Panyi stretched out her hand to hug her daughter, "Mom is the same to you and to your brother, Mom has always tried to be fair to you, although sometimes Mom doesn't do enough." But please always remember that your mother always believes in you and your brother, and that you and your brother are treasures in your mother's heart. My daughter is amazing, it's amazing. Your brother has indeed matured since he was a child, much more mature than the children around him, so there are many things that mom wants him to decide by himself, so he has developed such a habit. Your trust in your brother makes Mom and Dad feel at ease and even happier. Thank you, my precious daughter, mom loves you!" Zhao Panyi said, hugging her daughter.

The laughter of the mother and daughter made Li Hao stand at the door curious, and knocked on the door of his daughter's room: "My two babies, can I come in and bring you a glass of milk?" Li Hao wanted to go in and join in the fun, but he didn't want his daughter and wife to laugh, so he could only find a reason to move them.

Li Kangxing smiled and said, "My dear father, please come in." ”

Li Hao pushed open the door when he heard his daughter's promise, and he really held two glasses of milk in his hand, "Come, my two babies, one cup each, drink and sleep well." After that, he smiled and said, "What are you talking about, you are smiling so happily, can you tell me too?" Li Hao smiled. As a father, he has already begun to think about what will happen in the next five or ten years, so he has made up his mind to spend more time with his daughter while she is still around, and to care for her more, just like his father-in-law!

"Dad, this is my secret from my mother, I can't tell my father, and I don't want my father to know, is it okay?" the daughter said directly to her father. She wanted to discuss her emotional issues with her mother more than her father. Although Li Hao has always been a loving father, the two children are more inclined to ask Zhao Panyi's opinion on emotional issues.

"Okay, I know, my baby has grown up, and he deserves his own privacy. Daddy promises you that he will neither force you to say it, nor ask your mother, Daddy will always respect my baby and believe in every decision my baby makes. There was no prior agreement, let alone a statement, and the couple trusted the children in unison. "Dad has only one request, when you grow up in the future, you must tell Dad when you find a boyfriend, let Dad see that person, because you are Daddy's baby, Dad must ensure your safety and happiness, can you agree to Daddy's request?" Li Hao was worried that someone would cheat his baby daughter.

Although Li Kangxing is not as mature and sensible as his brother, under the influence of his brother, he can also experience the love and care of his parents. Li Kangxing took his father's hand, "Dad, I promise you, promise you, I will be the first to tell you anything in the future and discuss it with you." This time it's a very small matter, so don't ask again, okay? Dad, thank you and Mom for the same trust in me and my brother. ”

At noon the next day, Li Hao came to Zhongshi's first café, that is, the one where Zhao Fatyi went to find him that day but had no business. As soon as Li Hao entered the café, he saw Zhong Shi sitting on a chair by the window in a daze, and Li Hao walked over with a smile. "As a boss, isn't it a good thing to be so leisurely, shouldn't you get up to greet the guests, or make a good cup of coffee yourself and invite me as a rival?" Li Hao sat down opposite Zhong Shi and said with a smile.

Zhong Shi looked up at Li Hao, "What's the matter with you husband and wife, take turns to see my dejected appearance? The coffee I brew now has no other taste except bitterness, do you want to drink it too? Don't you worry about me adding something?" Zhong Shi didn't expect that he hadn't seen Li Hao for many years, and he was much more pleasing to the eye than before. It's not that he has become handsome, but he has the temperament and demeanor that a middle-aged man should have, which can't be compared with how handsome he is. Is his maturity, steadiness and calmness because of Zhao Fatyi? Is it because he has such a virtuous and intelligent wife? Is he deliberately angry with him?

Li Hao was not angry at all, and still sat opposite Zhong Shi with a smile on his face, "However, I still want to try your craftsmanship." At that time, after I broke up with Fat Yi, the reason why she would choose you was just because you were much more handsome than me? I'm really curious?" Li Hao was like asking a question that had nothing to do with him.

Zhong Shi stood up helplessly and went behind the counter to make a cup of coffee for Li Hao. Why did Li Hao ask about the incident many years ago, did he deliberately stimulate him now? Or is there another reason? Zhong Shi didn't think about the reason why Zhao Fatyi agreed to fall in love with him at the beginning, but what he couldn't let go of was the reason why Zhao Fatyi abandoned him and returned to Li Hao's side, which was something he had been haunting for many years. No matter what Zhao Fatyi's explanation was, he couldn't believe it. Holding the coffee in front of Li Hao, Zhong Shi also made himself a cup by the way, and the two of them were exactly the same. Zhong Shi took a sip first, then reluctantly swallowed it, and said to Li Hao: "Don't drink it, it's really undrinkable coffee?"

"Actually, the taste of coffee is also a matter of opinion, what is your mood, what is the taste of the coffee you drink? Zhong Shi, in fact, you don't need to care about the past, because time will dilute everything, including us as former rivals. Now that we are about to turn fifty, can't we be buddies and get along with friends? After all, we have been in love with the same woman almost all the time, although she is my wife, this may make you a little unacceptable to me as a friend?" Li Hao was generous and generous when he was young and middle-aged, and it was this reason that made Zhao Fatyi cherish him for the rest of his life.

"Can we be buddies or friends? At least I don't think we can be buddies right now. It is her freedom for Fat Yi to choose who it is, but why is that person not me but you, especially since you and me at the beginning cannot be the same!" Zhong Shi's conceit is the most unacceptable to Zhao Fatyi. Li Hao only now understands his wife's choice at that time. Zhong Shi was indeed the most popular senior brother in the school at that time, and he was the idol of the girls. He and Zhong Shi were indeed a little unsatisfactory, but Zhao Fatyi unswervingly returned to him because he understood this? But it was impossible for them to understand these profound life principles at that age.

"Maybe in your heart, you still can't accept it, that's because you still care about winning or losing, and you care about Zhao Fatyi's choice. Zhong Shi, if our two identities are reversed, maybe I will also be so unacceptable and incomprehensible, I understand. I hope that one day you can accept me as a friend. Zhong Shi, Zhao Fat Yi is my wife, but you also have a wife and children who love you and cherish you, as a mature man, you should be responsible for your own choices, and you should be worthy of your choices. After Li Hao finished speaking, he smiled and walked out of the café, leaving Zhong Shi who did not speak.

Li Hao began to laugh at himself for being so generous now, he was also angry at that time, and the distress when he saw Zhao Fatyi and Zhong Shi walking together is still fresh in his memory, so he cherishes every minute and second of Zhao Fatyi by his side even more, after all, it is not easy to stay together.
