Liu Changqing watched the taxi drive away from his sight and did not move for a long time.

I don't know how long it took before I chuckled like a self-deprecating chuckle and walked in the direction of home.

My current self...... Not qualified to fall in love.

Step by step.

Liu Changqing didn't actually drink too much.

The amount of alcohol in this body is quite good, and the reason why he pretended to be dizzy and said the same thing to An Yuanyao was just to find out to the other party through the strength of the wine.

He didn't dare to think about what he meant to An Yuanyao, rather than letting the relationship between the two develop inexplicably, it was better to cut through the mess quickly.

At present, Liu Changqing just wants to raise his two children well, instead of thinking about these haves and haves.

To make it clear, he was afraid that if he continued like this, he would fall sooner or later.

Liu Changqing is not an idiot.

He clearly knew what An Yuanyao meant by getting closer to him every time.

If it's just because I've been a little concerned about her recently, I'm close to myself like this.

Is it the same for another person?

Liu Changqing's mind was in a mess.

He shook his head slightly, trying to shake the mess out of his mind.

Standing in front of his house, he raised his hands and slapped his cheeks.

With a long exhalation, Liu Changqing hid the expression on his face, held the doorknob in his hand, and opened the door.

"I'm back."

"Dad...... Did you drink? ”

Liu Zhiyue crossed his legs and walked towards Liu Changqing step by step.

After changing his slippers, Liu Changqing pushed away to support his son, with a smile on his face.

"I'm not dizzy yet, what to help, what about Xia Zhi?"

"Inside...... Would you like to drink a glass of water first? ”

"Pour me a ......"

After his son's words came to his ears, Liu Changqing felt that his mouth was very dry.

After getting the answer, Liu Zhiyue staggered and poured a glass of water and put it on the coffee table.

Liu Changqing sat on the sofa and patted his swollen stomach.

He belched, then asked.

"Tomorrow's last day of exams?"

"Well, there are still two subjects to complete."

"That's okay, after a few days of recuperation, your feet should almost be fine, and our father and son haven't been running to lose weight recently......"

"I do sit-ups every day before I go to bed."

His son's answer surprised Liu Changqing a little.

Since his son's foot injury, Liu Changqing has not exercised for a few days.

I didn't expect this kid to do sit-ups in the house every day.

Looking closely, after half a month of losing weight, my son's figure seems to be really thinner.

Although not very obvious.

"Not bad, not bad, rare and valuable spirit, we must continue to maintain it!"

"Well, it has to be."

Liu Zhiyue nodded his head and replied.

Then there was nothing to say.

Liu Zhiyue could feel that something seemed to be wrong with his father today.

It's been a long time since I've seen him have something on his mind.

Father and son fell silent.

Silent, Liu Changqing leaned his head on the sofa and looked at the light overhead.

Somewhat glaring.

Then, he reached out and patted his son who was sitting next to him.

Said softly.

"Let's go back to the house and review, I'll take a break in the living room."

“……”

"I see...... Don't forget to drink water. ”

"Good ......"

Liu Zhiyue didn't choose to continue to disturb, but just carried the teabottle to Liu Changqing's feet not far away, and then went back to his room.

Silently watching his son return to his room after doing this, Liu Changqing's expression that he had just maintained collapsed instantly.

I stretched out my hand and groped in my pocket for a long time before I found the cigarette case, opened it and took one out of it and put it in my mouth.

Ignite.

He sat up straight from the couch and reached for the ashtray on the coffee table closer to him.

"Hoo ......"

Smoke comes out of the mouth.

It seems to relieve the dullness in my heart.

————————————————

In the taxi, An Yuanyao seemed to have lost her soul.

Her face turned pale, she seemed to have no strength in her body, and the whole person collapsed on her stomach, without saying anything about her sitting posture.

The driver glanced at An Yuanyao behind him through the rearview mirror.

Although he didn't know what was going on, he knew very well that the two people just now were not a couple.

It's a bit messy......

Smacked his mouth slightly, and he chose to drive with peace of mind.

When you reach your destination, stop the car and pull the handbrake.

The driver rummaged through his pocket for change.

While he was looking for change, An Yuanyao, who had lost his soul, had already opened the car door and got out of the car.

Straight in the direction of home.

The driver silently counted the change and turned his head to look at the back seat of the car.

The man is gone.

hurriedly looked up at the window, only to find that An Yuanyao's figure had walked a little farther.

Hurriedly opened the car door and shouted at An Yuanyao's figure.

"Miss, your change!"

“……”

There was no response, as if they hadn't heard at all.

The driver was confused with the remaining change in his hand, watching An Yuanyao's back disappear from his sight.

An Yuanyao returned home in despair, lowered her head and turned on all the lights after changing her slippers.

The room was instantly illuminated.

"Mrs. Lee......"

Mouthful.

Liu Changqing's face just now seemed to flash in his mind, and the other party was not angry, just smiled at what he said to himself.

Before I knew it, my footsteps stopped.

An Yuanyao raised her head slightly, looking at the photo hanging on the wall.

In the photo, she is holding the expressionless Li Chongming.

What was your mood like at that time......

An Yuanyao stood and thought in her head.

A pair of eyes looked at the photo, wearing a white wedding dress, smiling brightly.

The smile at that time now seemed to be even more glaring.

An Yuanyao in the photo is young, beautiful, and stylish, and her face is full of longing for the future.

In his mind, he seemed to recall the words of the other party who persuaded him to let go in an understated tone when he saw Liu Changqing in a café.

The drunken figure who brought himself back, and the appearance of boiling water and soaking his feet in the cold all night.

Help yourself dry your wet clothes and ask yourself if you're hungry......

He brought the ramen he hadn't finished and put it in his bowl......

When I held the rolled roast duck in my hand and handed it to him......

He opened his mouth to bite the roast duck......

Those days...... It seems that Li Chongming is no longer in life, but is replaced by another person.

Liu Changqing......

"Liu Changqing ......"

An Yuanyao pronounced the name she had in mind, and her eyes began to become brighter and brighter from the dimness at the beginning.

Thinking of something, his gaze shifted to his feet.

The pink one had two embroidered flowers, like the old lady's favorite style.

Although ugly, it is a pair of slippers that are comfortable to wear and feel at ease.

For some reason, I laughed out loud.

"It's ugly......"

An Yuanyao unconsciously touched an ashtray on the coffee table and held it in her hand.

Wait a moment.

Then he threw it at the picture hanging on the wall.

With a bang, the ashtray smashed against the photo, shattering the glass on the surface of the photo.

Quickly stepped forward, raised his hands on tiptoes, grabbed the frame of the photo and gently pushed it up with both hands, and removed the photo.

The arm retracted, and An Yuanyao's eyes looked at the photo of the glass that had some cracks.

Through the cracks, it seems that Li Chongming's expressionless face can still be seen.

"You're right, it's long over......"

Saying something to herself, An Yuanyao's eyes became firm.

With all the strength of his body, he smashed it against the wall......

The room became a mess.

All previous photos in the house were destroyed and piled up in the corners.

The whole family was in chaos like a thief.

Inside the bathroom.

An Yuanyao stood in front of the toilet and looked at the palm ring.

This is the wedding ring she took off before she left the house this morning.

Maybe she should have discovered that this marriage itself was a failure, but she didn't dare to think about living in a dream all the time.

Living in the sweet dreams that I used to have when I was a girl.

It should have ended earlier......

An Yuanyao looked at the ring, and her palms clenched hard.

Then slowly release.

With the palm down, the ring falls precisely into the toilet.

Pressed the flush.

The decision was made inside.

Turning his head, he walked out of the bathroom, came to the coffee table and picked up his mobile phone, An Yuanyao pressed the number that had not been dialed for a long time.

put it next to my ear.

His face was full of determination.

It took a long time for the phone to be connected.

An Yuanyao said.

"Li Wanran, I want to talk to Li Chongming."
