Sheng Xuan grew up being pampered since he was a child, and almost all people will let him intentionally or unintentionally, which creates a cold and selfish side of his character, and he takes it for granted that others are good to him.

He just relied on Lin Xi to love her, so he would squander Lin Xi's feelings unscrupulously, once his attitude towards Lin Xi was like a chess piece, he used it when it was useful, and he would put it aside when it was useless.

Once no matter what he did to Lin Xi, she still stayed by his side as always.

It is true that Lin Xi's love is humble, he gives everything, and even does not ask for anything in return, so Sheng Xuan didn't want to repay it at all, in his life, it was always others who paid for him, not him who paid for others.

But the child's matter was the last straw that broke the camel's back, and it also brought their relationship to an irreparable point, so Lin Xi chose to leave.

Sheng Xuan didn't know what he was thinking, he still looked like nothing was happening on his face, but somewhere in his heart seemed to be missing, and he was very unaccustomed to living every day, as if something was missing.

Every day in the past, Lin Xi would send him a message, saying some small things that were important in his life, but now, he couldn't even hear Lin Xi's voice, and his life seemed to have become empty all of a sudden, and he was more and more reluctant to communicate.

The documents for applying for a business trip to Africa were pressed down by Sheng Mingzhen, and Sheng Xuan was still happy to submit the application, and he had to get on the bar with Sheng Mingzhen.

At this moment, in the study on the second floor, Zhou Xiaoru took a cup of tea, slipped in, and handed it to his son who was working at the desk: "Son, I'm still busy with work, hurry up and rest!"

Sheng Mingzhen took the tea: "I can almost sleep after reading these reports." ”

Zhou Xiaoru leaned over and whispered, "Sheng Xuan, that kid...... It's really gone!"

Sheng Mingzhen looked at his mother a little helplessly: "Don't you know everything, and you still come to ask me, don't say this in front of grandma." ”

"I know I know, my mother is measured, but, how good the child is, it's gone, I heard that Sheng Xuan's enemy deliberately retaliated, isn't that the case, if so, will our family Xiaoyu be in danger. ”

"Mom, don't listen to the wind or rain, Sheng Yu is very safe, so many people protect him, no problem. ”

"I'm just not sure. Zhou Xiaoru sat down: "By the way, you're thirty-five after the New Year, aren't you ready to get married?"

Sheng Mingzhen was so noisy, and he didn't have much heart to read the report, he closed the document and was a little helpless: "You asked me to get married, didn't you just want to hold a grandson, and now that the grandson has it, isn't it okay?"

Zhou Xiaoru was so angry that she stretched out her hand and patted Sheng Mingzhen: "That's not what I said, how can Xiao Yu do without a mother, with your conditions, it is not difficult to find a good woman, find a gentle and skillful, good for Xiao Yu, I don't require anything else, you must be kind-hearted, otherwise those who are stepmothers are not kind, Xiao Yu will suffer." ”

Sheng Mingzhen listened patiently, but he didn't listen at all: "I'm very busy with work right now, and I don't have time to fall in love." ”

Zhou Xiaoru was half angry to death, but she had nothing to say, and she was muffled for a long time before she held back a sentence: "You have someone in your heart, right?"

Sheng Mingzhen admired her associative ability, and he didn't deny it, so he simply said, "Yes!"

"Then marry her back, why doesn't she want to be a stepmother, Xiaoyu can let me take care of it here, and it won't bother her a little." ”

"It's not!"

"What's the reason for that. ”

"She is married, and the child is older than Sheng Yu!"

Zhou Xiaoru: "......"

Her mouth opened very wide, as if she could stuff an egg, she was stunned for a while, the corners of her lips moved, and she slapped her thighs one last time, crying and grabbing the ground with a look of hatred for iron but not steel: "My God, what kind of sin is this, how can you like a woman with a family." ”

The expression on Sheng Mingzhen's face didn't change much, and he said calmly: "Why, I didn't do anything to destroy other people's families." ”

Zhou Xiaoru was also relieved when she heard this, and she told her thousands of words: "Son, you can open up a little, forget it when people get married, there are many good women in this world, you will definitely meet them." ”

Sheng Mingzhen nodded: "Okay, Mom, I'm going to rest, Xiao Yu sleeps!"

"Well, I was still looking for his uncle just now, I don't know if I'm sleeping here, I'll take a look. ”

After Zhou Xiaoru left, Sheng Mingzhen felt that the world was a lot quieter, he got up and went downstairs to go outside to take a breath, he was nagging just now, his mother is this temperament, and he is used to it.

It's just that now Sheng Mingzhen is a little panicked inside, Sheng Xuan is also in the garden outside and doesn't know what he is looking at, Sheng Mingzhen looks at him: "It's so cold outside, don't you go into the house?"

Sheng Xuan didn't look up when he heard the voice: "I just drank wine, I'm a little up, come out and breathe." ”

Sheng Mingzhen sat down on the stone bench in the garden and looked up at the starry sky: "The moonlight is good today. ”

"Well, yes!" Sheng Xuan looked up, his tone sounding a little drunk.

Sheng Mingzhen asked for a burst of wine, and sure enough, when he saw a bottle of wine in front of Sheng Xuan, he frowned: "Drinking like this outside on a cold day is not afraid of stroke." ”

Sheng Xuan smiled: "I'm so young, how can I be?"

Sheng Mingzhen didn't speak, and said after a while: "The body is your own, if you don't cherish it, no one will help you cherish it." ”

"Well, you're right. Sheng Xuan nodded approvingly: "But I always feel so unpleasant, who said that no one cherishes it!"

Sheng Xuan was really a little drunk, and his speech began to be unclear.

"You are a man in your twenties and thirties, can you not be so naïve in doing things?" Sheng Mingzhen raised his eyebrows, his tone a little disdainful.

Sheng Xuan buried his face in his arm and said inarticulately: "I know you have always looked down on me, but there is no way, who made the Sheng family owe me ...... in the first place"

There were still some words in the back, Sheng Mingzhen didn't hear it clearly, he originally wanted to say something about Huan, but seeing Sheng Xuan drunk like this, he couldn't say anything, so he immediately asked the housekeeper to come out, and quickly carried people in, don't freeze out outside.

Sheng Mingzhen sat on the stone bench in the garden for a while, and heard the sound of the tide in the distance, which seemed extremely lonely under the moon, in fact, he had been alone for so many years, and he was indeed a little lonely.

It's not that he didn't have a girlfriend, and after having Sheng Yu, he also tried to have a girlfriend, but he probably had a phobia of marriage, so in the end it ended hastily, because all he could give was a lot of money, not a lot of time to spend with them.

Sometimes he thinks that women are very strange creatures, and when you have a lot of time to spend with them, she will dislike you for not having money, and when you have a lot of money, they will say that you don't have time for them.

In fact, sometimes Sheng Mingzhen is quite envious of Sheng Xuan, because there is a woman who is so good to him, selfless and careless about the return of her efforts.

…………

The moon on the twenty-ninth day of the new year is particularly round, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, Lin Xi sat in the dormitory arranged for her by the school to read.

Teacher Zhang, who teaches the fifth grade, took leave to go back because she was pregnant, just when Lin Xi came, so she temporarily topped it up and gave the children free make-up classes during the winter vacation, many of the children here are left-behind children, and their parents will not come back during the New Year, just tomorrow Chinese New Year's Eve, the principal and several teachers who come to teach will spend the New Year in the school, Dr. Gu said that he is very lonely, so he also wants to come to join in the fun.

The principal and the other teachers thought that these two people were a couple, and even if they weren't, they could see that Dr. Gu was interested in Teacher Lin.

Dr. Gu is very handsome and gentle, and Mr. Lin is gentle and beautiful, and the two of them look very good on the outside, so the teachers also consciously want to create opportunities for them, but after making and making, they find that the two of them are still like good friends.

After a while, there was a knock on the door of the dormitory, and Lin Xi said please come in.

Teacher Liu Yiwen Liu, who teaches mathematics, came in with a plate of steaming dumplings: "I cooked some supper in the cafeteria, you didn't eat it at night, I brought you some." ”

Lin Xi's appetite is not very good at night, so he went back to the dormitory after eating a little, Liu Yiwen is a senior in his twenties with a round face and eyes, and after working here for two years, he can get a place to support teaching and research, and he is very kind and simple.

"Thank you. ”

Lin Xi's heart was warm, and he took the chopsticks handed by Liu Yiwen: "I happened to be a little hungry just now." ”

Liu Yiwen glanced at the book in her hand: "What are you looking at!"

"Grammar book. Lin Xi took a bite of the dumpling: "Teaching English to children, I am a little rusty with some grammar, so take a look at it, otherwise it will be embarrassing to teach it wrong, and it will be a mistake!"

"Did you call the family?" Liu Yiwen sighed: "I miss my mother a little, I didn't celebrate the New Year with her for the first time, but it's fun to celebrate the New Year with you." ”

"Call grandma tomorrow. ”

"By the way, where are you from, you sound like a southerner!"

"yes!"

"Have you graduated from college, and are you here to teach and research?"

Lin Xi smiled: "I've been graduating for several years, and I used to want to teach when I was in college, but then I didn't have this idea when I worked." ”

"Then how do you remember now!"

"Because something happened. Lin Xi lowered his head and his expression was indifferent: "I want to find a place where no one knows for a while." ”

"Hurt?"

Lin Xi pulled the corners of his lips and smiled: "Sort of!"

"Hey......" Liu Yiwen sighed: "Me too, I originally wanted to go back, but the day before I booked the ticket to fly back, I was dumped, so I refunded the plane ticket in a fit of anger." Men are truly the most hateful creatures in the world. ”

Lin Xi listened to her words, and a trace of imperceptible pain flashed in her beautiful big eyes.
