A man sat on the steps of the rooftop in a huff, secretly calculating when he could leave the place as soon as possible. The smell of food wafted into my nose from time to time, and as a standard foodie who had just recovered from a serious illness and had not eaten lunch in the morning, my sense of smell was unusually sensitive at this moment.

Following the aroma of rice, I turned my head sharply, and sure enough, I found the family not far away, and the lunch boxes lined up by him.

I took a deep breath, carefully weighed the results of hunger and anger in my heart, strode over decisively, gave Cheng Jia a vicious look, took the chopsticks in his hand, and started eating!

Chengjia watched me walk by with a smile all the way, and when I finished my chopsticks and started to eat a lot, I finally couldn't help laughing. The laughter was so cheerful that even I, who was full of resentment, seemed to be infected and laughed unconsciously.

"Jiabao~~You are really my baby~" Chengjia came to me and said with a smile.

Under the sun, the smiling family made me see the once simple, stubborn but joyful and energetic teenager again.

After such a toss-up of starting a family, the entire laboratory began to speculate about our relationship, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. But fortunately, most of the people who do technology are simple and simple, and even gossip is just a good-natured joke, which is still within the range of what I can accept.

Forming a family is even more unscrupulous, basically I have to report to my laboratory every day, most of the time I turn a blind eye, and I will fight with him if I am really in a hurry. Of course, in the end, most of the results were a crushing defeat for our side, and the enemy won a big victory, and left the laboratory triumphantly.

On this day, the family was still as usual, and parked the car in front of the company early to say that I had a cold and was not well yet, and as the culprit, he had to be responsible for me and pick me up from work. I'm basically helpless to fight him, so I can only get into the car obediently.

Who knew that after this goods sent me home, not only did they not leave, but they also relied on it and refused to leave for various reasons. Just as the two of us were arguing, there was a knock at the door. I glared at Cheng Jia and said viciously, "You wait for me!" ”

As soon as I opened the door, two people walked in directly, and Cheng Jia and I looked stupid.

Cheng Jia hurriedly walked over, grabbed the visitor, and said, "Mom, why are you here?" ”

Li Mei, who had been standing on the side, said in her gentle little voice: "Chengjia, Cheng's mother is a little worried about you when she sees that you haven't come home from work." ”

As soon as I heard Li Mei's delicate little voice, I couldn't help but feel numb in my scalp and roll my eyes in my heart. Looking at Cheng's mother again, I still politely greeted Cheng's mother, "Hello, Auntie." ”

Cheng's mother walked straight up to me and asked Chengjia in her mouth, but her eyes stared straight at me and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Cheng Jialeng paused for a moment and said, "What's the matter, Mom, what are you doing here?" ”

Cheng's mother turned her head to look at Chengjia, then turned her face and continued to stare at me, saying, "Teacher Xiao, last time I remembered that you were still a teacher of Chengjia." I really can't see it, you're not bold and big! ”

I said helplessly, "Auntie, what do you mean by this?" ”

"What do you mean? You didn't make it with my son before, and now you're chasing after you here, you're amazing! Cheng's mother stared at me and said a little angrily.

"Mom! What are you talking about! Chengjia walked over and grabbed Cheng's mother and said, "Let's go home and talk about it." ”

I glanced at Li Mei, who was full of pride, walked up to Cheng's mother, and said, "Auntie, I think you have misunderstood, I have no relationship with your son for a long time, and this time I came over is completely a cooperation on official business, and now that the cooperation is over, I will leave soon." Rest assured, Cheng Jia and I will never be together again. ”

After listening to my words, Cheng Jialeng paused for a moment, looked at me, his lips moved, and finally turned around to support Cheng's mother, saying, "Mom, let's go back first, and I'll talk to you when we go back." ”

After Cheng Jia finished speaking, he pulled Cheng's mother and left, leaving me to stand alone.

Everything is like history repeating itself, I laughed self-deprecatingly, this result was not unexpected, but I still couldn't help but shed tears, for the remnants of the extravagant hope in my heart.

It didn't take long for my phone to ring, it was a message from starting a family, "Wait for me, believe me, I won't change." ”

I just deleted the message and didn't want to bother with it.

Lying on the bed tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, unable to stand the too quiet night, I got up and turned on all the lights in the room, and stood alone on the balcony to watch the stars in the sky.

The phone rings, it's a family.

I hung up without hesitation, and the phone rang again, with a tendency to keep ringing until I didn't answer. I took a deep breath and connected, "What do you want to do?" ”

"Jiabao~ Can't you sleep?" The voice of the family on the other end of the phone seemed to tremble.

"No, I was woken up by you." I looked at the stars and replied nonchalantly.

"You lied to me." Chengjia accused me aggrievedly, saying: "You are good~ It's windy on the balcony, is it okay to go back to the house?" ”

"You..." I lowered my head, and sure enough, there was a silver-gray sedan parked downstairs, and a man in a beige coat was standing next to the car, looking up and waving at me.

I didn't know what to say for a while, and the family on the other end of the phone didn't urge, just waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, and the family said softly: "Jiabao ~ I'm cold." ”

"Hurry back." I choked.

"Don't." Cheng Jia replied quickly and firmly this time, saying, "I'm afraid that you will disappear again as soon as I go back." ”

I didn't respond, I was silent for a while, and Chengjia continued: "I miss you, Jiabao~ Don't tell me to leave." ”

"Then you get in the car!" I finally couldn't resist my concern for him.

The family waited a little before they came back to me and said, "But I can't see your window when I get into the car." ”

Autumn nights, so cool!

Listening to the tremor in the sound of the family, I had a feeling that he should have been waiting here for a long time, and if I didn't let him come up, he would have waited until dawn.

After much struggling, I surrendered, obeyed the heart that loved him deeply, and whispered, "Then you come up." ”

When you fall deeply in love with someone, you put yourself in their shoes. You'll blame everything that isn't going to be your fault, and you can't bear to let him suffer, no matter what happens. My love for starting a family is like this, putting myself behind the humble, loving and hurting very hard.

Soon there was a voice outside the door, and Chengjia whispered on the phone: "Jiabao~ I'm coming up." ”

I hung up, walked over, and opened the door.

Chengjia walked in with a cold body, looked at me guiltily, and said, "I'm sorry. ”

I shook my head, with tears in my eyes, forced myself to smile and said, "Becoming a family, I really want to go back." ”

Chengjia lowered his head to help me wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, hugged me into his arms, and said in a deep voice: "Okay, I promise you." ”

I don't know if the cold on his body is too heavy, I just feel that my heart is getting colder and colder, obviously it is autumn, but the whole person seems to be in a cold and snowy land.

This night, the family was still nestled on the sofa, and neither of us said anything more.

When I returned to the company the next day, I approached Mr. Wang to communicate the time for us to leave, because the main problem had been solved, so there was no need for our team to stay, so we were ready to leave the next day. Although Director Wang felt a little rushed in the time I proposed, he still expressed his understanding.

As soon as I came out of Director Wang's office, my phone rang. I picked up my phone with a headache, it was an unfamiliar number, and connected, "Hello, Xiao Jie." A calm baritone voice came over the phone.

I coughed lightly, adjusted my breath, and said, "Hello, Mr. Cheng." ”

"Do you have time now? I'd like to talk to you. ”

"Mr. Cheng, I will leave tomorrow, and I will not come here again in the future, if you are worried about this, then there is really no need." I walked briskly to the top of the stairs, leaned against the wall, and said calmly.

"Let's meet and talk, it won't take up too much of your time." Cheng's father still insisted on meeting me.

I pondered for a moment and agreed.

When I came to the agreed place, Cheng's father looked the same as a few years ago, and he was still full of energy.

"Actually, I don't mean anything else to ask you to come today, I just think I seemed to know too much about you a few years ago." Cheng's father said straight to the point: "If there was any misunderstanding between us at that time, I hope you don't mind." ”

I was a little surprised by Cheng's father's performance, and I didn't know why he said this, but I still said politely: "Mr. Cheng, it's okay, I didn't take it to heart." ”

Father Cheng saw that I was a little restrained, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, I heard Yu Biao say that you helped a lot in this cooperation case, and I also observed it during the whole process, the little girl is very powerful." ”

I didn't know how to answer, so I could only smile awkwardly, thinking bitterly that Cheng's father and Cheng's mother used the same words. I don't know what the situation is this time, did you change the policy and start pretending to be red and black?

After thinking about it, I still opened my mouth and said, "Mr. Cheng, I have already told you on the phone that I will leave tomorrow, and this time I came here for work, and I will not appear in Chengyu Group again in the future." ”

After listening to my words, Cheng's father looked at me for a while and said, "That's not what I meant. After speaking, he sighed lightly, and then said: "I can see that he has been unhappy since he came back from graduating from starting a family. Although he has done very well in the company in the past few years, I know that this child's heart is not here. I am proud of him but also worried, as a parent, you can't understand the feeling of watching your child, who should be young and lively, silent and deep day by day. ”

I looked up at Cheng's father in front of me, and I felt that he seemed to be much older all of a sudden.

"That day, I accidentally saw the family laughing on the rooftop, that's the vitality you should have at your age, but unfortunately I haven't seen that kid laugh like that for two or three years." Cheng's father sighed.

I didn't answer, just the hand that grabbed the drink cup trembled slightly.

Dad Cheng didn't say anything more, just called the waiter to settle the bill, and only said when he got up: "You still call me Uncle Cheng in the future, don't always call Cheng Zong, Cheng Zong." ”

Looking at the figure of Cheng's father gradually disappearing, I realized the feeling of a father who loves his son deeply, and I think this may be the reason why I have never blamed him over the years.

I used to hope for the understanding and support of my parents, and I worked hard for it. It's a pity that Cheng's father's current understanding makes me not happy at all, because deep in my heart, I clearly understand that I and the Cheng family can't go back after all.
