"Chan Hao, is there anything I need to work overtime today?" An internal call from Xu's father. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Oh, Dad, don't wait for me. If you want to practice dancing, isn't this going to be a concert? Xu Canhao is indeed in the gym to vent his energy with nowhere to go, or to relieve the anticipation in tension.

"Well, don't get too late, take a break."

"Nae, please stay safe on the road." Xu Canhao hung up the phone, and when he saw that the time was almost 8 o'clock, he was busy packing up his things and going to take a shower and change clothes, thinking that it would not be long before the crew would call it a day.

Coming out of the bathroom in the lounge, Xu Canhao saw Li Dongxu standing next to the sofa with his hands in his hands, and a whole set of clean clothes had been placed on the conspicuous wooden table. "Why are you here, don't you have to accompany someone?" He asked, wiping his hair, as he walked over to the wooden table.

"It's a little bit of work to finish, and I heard from the people in the secretary's office that you came over when you were still in the company." Li Dongxu took the towel thrown by the chairman and put it in the basket, and someone will clean it up tomorrow morning.

"Really?" Xu Canhao lifted his pants slightly, took his mobile phone from the table topless and looked at it before putting on a legging vest.

"If you're okay, go out for a drink? It's been a long time since we've drunk at a roadside stall. Lee Dong Wook said with a smile as he handed the watch to Chan Ho.

"Shochu? Ah~ When I mention it, I miss that taste. After Xu Canhao put on his watch, he straightened his collar in front of the mirror. Suddenly remembered something, and said to Li Dongxu in the mirror: "Ah, it may not work today, I'm sorry." ”

"Then another day, when you're free." Li Dongxu is a "good subordinate" who never refuses to exceed the rules and play tricks, and sometimes his stubbornness even makes Xu Canhao want to go crazy.

"By the way, I'll ask you a question." Xu Canhao hugged his neck and said with a smile. "How did you do the first time you asked Jenya to eat?"

"Ahem~~" Li Dongxu was choked. The relationship with Jeon Jin-ah is his biggest challenge to himself--- challenging the rule that "you must not fall in love in the company".

"Don't be shy~ Teach me, huh?" Xu Canhao looked tired, hanging on people's necks and quipped.

"Why! What shyness. Ahem ~ just like that... Who are you going to ask for!? Li Dongxu's expression after waking up to the crux of the problem was the same as Yang Sheng's expression when he heard Xu Canhao admit the fact that he wanted to have a relationship in the car.

"Oh ho~ Is this what you should inquire?" Xu Canhao said this one second with a straight face, and the next second he changed to that hippie smiling expression and said, "Tell me about it, maybe I can use it right away." ”

"This... It seems like... I told her, and we ate together so naturally. Li Dongxu took the trouble to recall before answering.

"That's it?" Xu Canhao was like a deflated ball, staring speechlessly at Minister Li who was at a loss.

"What the hell..." everyone will be curious, or gossip, and Li Dongxu is no exception.

"We'll find out later. Wait until I'm done blowing my hair. Xu Canhao has no intention of learning from him, so it is more practical to clean up his image and prepare.

Not long ago, in the face of Li Minting's text message questioning, the weak-hearted Xu Canhao chose to temporarily avoid the sharp edge --- delay. He replied that he would wait until the end of the filming to inform the reason, in fact, he wanted to take this opportunity to climb the pole, and it was best to invite the other party to dinner. Therefore, he stayed in the company all the time, waiting for the crew to call it a day, so as not to disappear in a blink of an eye. If he waits for the next time, he doesn't know when the unknown will make him feel worried, so he doesn't want to face that feeling.

When he and Lee Dong Wook rushed to N.More, which was still brightly lit, it happened that the crew stopped filming a few minutes ago, and everyone was busy cleaning up. Xu Canhao nodded to his acquaintance through the glass outside, and when he saw Li Minting looking over, he hurriedly waved his hand.

Seeing the dumb appearance of the president before and after, Li Minting, who had already sensed some clues, couldn't help but smile, turned around and bowed to the crew to say goodbye, saying words of thanks and hard work, and was about to go out. Unexpectedly, it was only halfway to the door, and I saw Xu Canhao leaving in a hurry with a phone.

Life always betrays people when they are unprepared. There may be extreme grief or extreme panic. At that time, there is always not much that people can do. It is useless to hide and hide, to ignore and avoid. You can only allow yourself to accept reality and fight against it. --- excerpted from Hyun's future diary, October 20, 2007 and August 6, 2008.

When Seo Chan-ho and Lee Dong-wook arrived home, Su's parents, the maid, Dr. Kim (the dog's health doctor), his female assistant and two security guards were gathered around the table in the living room, as if performing some kind of sacred ceremony, and the scene was solemn. And lying on the table is the guy who has grown up with this family for 11 years and watched Xiaoxian change from a young child to a slim girl, but at this time he is already out of breath and less in breath.

"What's going on?" The furrows between Xu Canhao's brows almost have the depth of the Mariana Trench. He cupped Benny's face with both hands slowly and quickly, for fear that it would not have time to see him again. A man and a dog looked at each other. Benny's mouth struggled to squirm, perhaps trying to poke out his tongue and taste the body of his master for the last time, which he could discern from miles away.

"I'm sorry, I didn't take care of it..."The aunt, who is in charge of the yard management and the dog's diet on weekdays, apologized in a hurry.

"You can't be blamed for it." Mother Xu stopped the elderly maid and continued to bow sharply, telling her to leave first.

"I'm sorry, Chairman Xu. It's a mistake in our work. Dr. Kim put a look of self-reproach on his face, and together with his assistant, he bowed to the one man and one dog who were touching each other's body temperature and feeling each other's body temperature.

"Well, don't pay too much attention to it. Binny, who is also in his sixties and has diabetes, is blessed to be able to live peacefully until now, and to have so many children with him. Xu's father patted Dr. Jin on the shoulder and said, seemingly comforting the doctor, but in fact he said it to his son.

Benny did not escape his inevitable fate, and he would also have gray hair, poor speech, and limited mobility. Last winter, he was on a dripping overnight in the hospital because of a cold, and since then, he has not been seen running and playing with his children, and his family no longer takes him out to exercise. It is often lying in front of the kennel or by the bridge to bask in the sun, watching the children and watching the changes in the owner's house from day to day. It will also miss people who often don't go home, it used to be Xu Canhao, and now it misses Xiaoxian who has accompanied it all his life.

"Ah~ Give me some spirit, aren't you going to wait for Xiaoxian?" Xu Canhao looked at its increasingly heavy eyelids, and every time he closed them, he had to make a lot of effort to open them again. He lifted Benny's eyelids so he could take a good look at himself. But as soon as he saw his gray eyes, the reflection was like a boulder, which made Canhao's eyes unconsciously filled with layers of water vapor.

Suddenly, Binny's head swayed, and Xu Canhao immediately let go of his hand, looked at it for some reason, twisted his neck with difficulty, and tried several times, but it didn't succeed, but it aggravated its breath. Then, a heavy exhalation that seemed like a sigh exhausted the last shred of Benny's vitality, and his eyelids slowly closed under everyone's attention.

"Hey! You hold on to me a little longer..."Xu Canhao almost threw himself on the table, slapping Benny on the side of his face in an attempt to make him wake up again.

"Chan Hao..."Father Xu sent away his wife in his arms, and stepped forward to grab his son's shoulder. Before he could say what he wanted to say, the door of the house was forcibly slammed open, and there was a bang, interrupting everyone's pure sorrow.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Xiaoxian rushed in in in a panic, not even having time to take off her shoes, shouting meaningless words that could only reflect her extreme anxiety at the moment.

Yoon-a, who was close behind, stumbled in, and after coming in with Hyun and her own things, she threw them on the floor.

The two girls stood in front of the table and stared at Binny, unable to see its undulating chest and abdomen, nor the familiar wagging tail to please him, his body was like sticking to all kinds of terrible bed bugs, his body shaking slightly uncontrollably, and the feeling of soreness and numbness spread to every pore of his body.

"Daughter..."

Mother Xu was about to step forward to comfort her daughter, but Xiaoxian suddenly turned around and tugged on Dr. Jin's sleeve, and begged eagerly, "Doctor, did it catch a cold again, did it just fall asleep?" ”

Dr. Kim was like a puppet, and he let the girl pull him, but he refused to tell her the truth, and kept his eyes on the cold floor under his feet, trying to dig a crack under his feet that could accommodate him.

Yun'er on the side bit her lower lip, came to Xu Canhao's side with red eyes, and gently stroked Binny's nose with her fingers over and over again. That's where the girl often teases it and makes it sneeze constantly.

"Hyun... It knows you're back... I just closed my eyes. Xu Canhao slowly straightened up, his eyes never taking off Binny's body.

Hearing his brother's voice, Hyun let go of Dr. Kim. The distance of one step made her divide into three steps before walking.

Xu Canhao didn't know if this was a farewell ceremony, and the two girls were silently stroking every inch of hair on Binny's body to help him straighten it out. Father Xu asked someone to bring a white sheet and prepare to wrap Binny in order to discuss what to do with the body tomorrow.

"Get up~!" When Hyun saw the pale sheets, he realized that his playmate was really gone, and kept pushing Benny's body with a crying voice. Seeing that it refused to get up, he grabbed his right leg and shook it from side to side: "Please, get up, okay~?" The girl took the ball of Benny's foot and imprinted her left palm, which was how they came to an agreement.

"Xian~" Xu Canhao put one hand on his sister's round shoulder, and stroked her eyes with the other, wiping away the tears that kept pouring out for her.

"No, don't let it go, okay?" Xiaoxian turned his head and shook his head at his brother again and again.

Xu Canhao never knew that his sister's small mouth could be stretched so long, and her shriveled lips and nose couldn't help shaking, and she couldn't cry. Holding back the sourness that surged up his nose, Xu Canhao immediately raised his head, unwilling to look at his sister whose facial features were almost curled together.

"I'm sorry~ woo... Should take care of your... 哏哏 (hen)~ promised you... Whoa~ Yes, I was wrong, please, please don't go, okay... Boom~ good, bad? Please... Woo~~" Xiaoxian's pathetic sobs, every sound touched everyone's hearts, even Xu's father, who was holding Xu's mother, who was already in tears, had red eyes, and the big men were all like this. Yun'er's mouth deflated into a slit, and she wanted to comfort her sister, but somehow her feet were soft, but fortunately she was supported by Xu Canhao.

Xu Canhao helped Yun'er steady, forcibly picked up his sister who was lying on the table softly, and rubbed her little head into his arms, no matter how she struggled or beaten, he refused to let her turn around. Xiao Xian's originally soft body became stiff at this time, and his pink fists and jaws burned Xu Canhao painfully, even so he couldn't let go, let her shout and howl, as if he had become another person.

Benny was wrapped in a white cloth and carried out, allowing his children to accompany him again.

Dr. Kim and his assistant, whose eyes were swollen from crying, said goodbye and went out, only to be stopped by Taro in the courtyard. Taro recognized him, and bit the doctor's trouser leg and dragged him in the direction of the kennel. There, Binny's children are licking their mother's body, just as they did to them when they were born. Come clean, go clean.

Xu Canhao's tears finally overflowed and the embankment broke. Three or two drops fell on the side of her sister's face, making Xiaoxian cry, but she couldn't stop her body from twitching even more, and the sobbing sound was louder, loud and hurtful.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

"Can I come in?" Xu Canhao carried two cups of hot cocoa on a tray and knocked on the door of his sister's room.

Yuna came to open the door. Xiao Xian was sitting on the bed holding a photo album looking for something that had passed away, sniffling from time to time. There are also several memoirs from different periods in the past, recording scenes from the past.

"Drink a little, the evening will be better." Xu Canhao put the plate on the bedside table and sat down next to his sister with two cups of warm cocoa.

"Thank you." The two girls took the mug, and Xu Canhao took the album from his sister's lap.

"Dingjia (Binny's Korean name) is a mother~" is full of files pasted on the Polaroid album page, with such a quip written. Those two pages were full of photos of Binnie during pregnancy and after giving birth. There are photos with Xiaoxian, and there are also photos of the whole family. Looking at these, Xu Canhao couldn't help but be fascinated, returning to those years, when countless tears and laughter, sorrow and happiness were engraved.

"oppa~" Yuna softly woke up Xu Canhao, who was roaming in the long river of the past. She pointed to Xiao Xian, who was asleep on her shoulder, and motioned for Xu Canhao to help.

Coming back to his senses, Xu Canhao took the two cups lightly, packed up several photo albums, reached out and wrapped his arm around the back of Xiaoxian's head, passed one hand through the crook of her leg, and picked up his sister so that Yun'er could spread the quilt. Carefully put down her tired sister, took off her coat and socks, and let her sleep like this.

"Oppa, can you stay a little longer?" Yun'er, who followed into the quilt, saw Xu Canhao picking up the cup and leaving, and suddenly said in a voice.

"Can't sleep?" Xu Canhao said softly, smiling reluctantly at the girl with heavy bags under her eyes.

Yuna nodded and said, "I want to hear you sing." ”

If you want to put aside the little girl's usual request for such a request, Xu Canhao will definitely laugh at her: "Little ghost, why don't you read a fairy tale to you?" "But I wasn't in that mood today. He smiled slightly, pulled over a log chair, and placed it at the head of the bed. "What do you want to hear?"

"Listening to you sing "on.my.way" (Fu Meiyun/'s new album "" in '07), Fanny said it was very good, but I haven't heard it yet." Yuna pulled the quilt, only showing her little face. Shrugged his nose, and there was a warm smile in his eyes.

"Are you so sure I can sing?" Chan Hao smiled and reached out to pick up a few strands of green silk stuck to the girl's cheek.

"Don't you call yourself a humanoid jukebox, the same as Sister Meiying?" The little girl chuckled.

"Hehe, well, in defense of honor?"

Yun'er smiled even more, and nodded lightly at the old brother.

Xu Canhao thought about it, took out his mobile phone, opened the piano software developed by himself, and rested it on his lap. After he adjusted the appropriate volume, Yuna had already closed her eyes obediently, pursed her lips and waited for good news.

"Don't., I'm.on.my.way......" brings the song to the end with a deep, low, deep voice. When he saw Yun'a's breathing gradually calming down, he stopped singing and got up to leave. But when he caught a glimpse of Xiao Xian frowning deeply and his eyelashes were wet, his heart suddenly felt like he had been pricked by a needle, and his whole body was tense and uncomfortable. He turned to Xiaoxian's bedside, stretched out his index finger and pressed it against his sister's eyebrows, rubbing it gently. It didn't take long for him to let go, and the Sichuan character between Xiaoxian's eyebrows disappeared without a trace. Looking at the black and shiny hair that spread out like a fan on the back of his sister's head, Xu Canhao bent down and stretched out his arm, slowly passing through the gap under her neck, and lifting this head that has become heavy with a lot of sadness today, and will always be a small head in Canhao's heart. The free right hand returned to his sister's long waterfall hair and straightened them under her head.

"Dingjia will say goodbye to you in my dreams, don't be sad." Xu Canhao leaned over and kissed his sister's smooth forehead, and after helping him press the quilt, he turned back to Yun'er's side, repeating the love and pity. Grab the mug, extinguish the lamp, and gently close the door and leave.

It's a dark night. In the dark room, a pair of bright starry eyes slowly flowed with the waves of the full moon outside the window, like the moon in the pool, but the illusion was beautiful but not sad.
