I vividly remember the day of the nightmare 8 years ago, when I was shopping for vegetables at the vegetable market, I received a strange phone call.

It was a woman's voice on the phone, and she claimed to be He Yu's 'friend' when she opened her mouth, and then told me in a very flustered and anxious tone that He Yu committed suicide by jumping into the river, and then gave me the address and asked me to go over immediately!

Hearing this bad news, my mind was blank in an instant, my whole body softened, and I only wanted to go to the scene, where did I still have the heart to care about what kind of 'friend' he called me to inform me? In addition, I was immersed in the grief of losing He Yu for a long time, and I was even less in the mood to care about the person who called me anymore, because it was meaningless...... In fact, I didn't inquire again for the next seven or eight years, and my mobile phone was changed from a button machine to a smart phone later.

Memories of He Yu haunted me for a few days, and I spent every day in empty speculation and anticipation.

Next, I still stayed in the hospital to recuperate, but after Jiang Feng left, the days in the hospital were not so comfortable......

He Yi hadn't taken care of the patient much, he couldn't do Jiang Feng's meticulousness and extreme, and it was inconvenient at night, so he still called Sister Tao to come over to take the shift. After another two weeks, and in a few days before the Chinese New Year, I was finally able to be discharged from the hospital, and my leg and back injuries were almost recovered.

According to Zhang Suxiao, during my hospitalization, Jiang Feng helped take care of all my work. Because of his inclusion on the board of directors by me and his vigorous work style, he has become more and more prestigious in the company, and there are almost no people and things that he can't handle, and even a few executives who often target him have gradually shut up.

Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, the company is on holiday, and employees are going home for the New Year. After a busy year, I finally had some free time.

By the end of the year, my city was basically empty, with empty streets and shopping malls, few people, few cars, and a little deserted. Every year on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I invite Zhou Kaicheng to my home for dinner, because like me, he has no other relatives in this city except himself, and it is desolate to celebrate the New Year alone. This year is no exception.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Sister Tao was also released back to her hometown by me, only me and He Yi were left in the villa, and Zhou Kaicheng also came to my house early, and the three of us went to the supermarket together to happily purchase a lot of fresh ingredients and some essential New Year goods. Zhou Kaicheng is also quite researched in diet, and his cooking skills will not be worse than mine, and he will finish a Chinese New Year's Eve meal in the evening, and He Yi and I will work next to him...... After 3 hours of busy work, the table was full of chicken, duck, fish and shrimp and other big dishes.

"Can you finish this, do you have any friends who haven't come home, call a few to come over and eat together." I asked Zhou Kaicheng.

He really took out his mobile phone and flipped through it, then shook his head, "I can only say that I don't have many friends, everyone has basically gone back to their hometown for reunion, eat slowly, if you can't finish eating, you will continue to eat tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Sister Tao will go back, and you are too lazy to cook." ”

"Don't be busy yet, wait for me to take a picture." He Yi took a few photos of a table of dishes full of color and fragrance with his mobile phone.

"I want to post a circle of friends and write a masterpiece of 'future brother-in-law', how about it?" He Yi asked jokingly, "Brother Kai doesn't mind, right?" ”

"Don't, don't mess around,"

Zhou Kaicheng's face was a little serious to stop He Yi, and glanced at me by the way, "For the New Year, don't spoil your sister's interest." ”

"What's the fun, okay, I'll just post it, your photo won't appear anyway, who knows who my 'brother-in-law' is," He Yi said, and really wanted to write a text and upload a photo to send to Moments.

"Ho Yi," I glared at him, signaling him to stop.

"Okay," He Yi smiled, he had already seen my mind through, and he didn't want to make me unhappy, so he put his phone on the table.

At this time, Zhou Kaicheng said in a non-yin and non-yang manner, "Did Jiang Feng also go back to his hometown, why didn't he call him to dinner." ”

"......" Every time Jiang Feng's name popped out of Zhou Kaicheng's mouth, I always felt as if I was choked, and I didn't know how to answer.

"Why are you mentioning that little white face," He Yi took over disdainfully, "If this grandson dares to come to my house again, I won't break his dog's legs!" And Brother Kai, I call you brother, don't blame me for speaking too straight, I think you are too slow and too gentleman, haven't you heard a word, men are not bad women don't love, women, women, I just like the kind of men who play hooligans, warm men like you are no longer popular, you have to change your strategy......"

I ate in silence and didn't speak.

After hearing this, Zhou Kaicheng smiled self-deprecatingly, "No way, people are old, what should they do, and they don't bother to play those childish routines, tired." Speaking of this, he unconsciously moved his gaze to me again and looked at me deeply, "If you are willing to invite me to dinner this time next year, then I will be very satisfied." ”

"You're too easy to be satisfied," He Yi looked like a hanger, and said, "It's next year, next year and you'll be a year older, when are you two going to waste, you see that my sister-in-law doesn't like to talk, and you don't speak, what can you communicate with eye contact?" Isn't it a strange combination for the three of us to sit together like this, and if the two of you get married, then ......"

"He Yi!" I finally couldn't help but stop him, "Can you say a few words, don't always meddle in my emotional problems, you're still a child yourself, what do you know?" ”

"Can I not care, seeing that you were deceived by that little white face surnamed Jiang, and you are still enjoying it like a fool, do you know that I am in a hurry," He Yi said this, becoming a little more emotional, "Sister, you are the great benefactor of my life, without you, I would have starved to death, so I want you to live happily than anyone else, but that Jiang Feng is really not suitable for you, he is cheating you of your money, this is something that blind people can see, you still take back your heart, look at Brother Kai in front of you, don't let him down!" ”

"He Yi, don't talk about it, we are a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, not a blind date." Zhou Kaicheng said indifferently like a nobody, "As for me and Yuncan, we are very good friends, don't think about other aspects, so as not to make everyone get awkward." Yuncan's marriage and love issues are completely decided by herself, and I will bless whoever she likes, but it doesn't mean that we can't be friends. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come here for this meal today. ”

"Hey, okay, whatever you want, I'm really foolish."

It was originally a good Chinese New Year's Eve, but because of He Yi's big words, as well as the word 'Jiang Feng' mentioned by Zhou Kaicheng, my mood was seriously damaged again. Zhou Kaicheng and He Yizheng watched the sketch of the Spring Festival Gala with relish, but I was absent-minded, I didn't know the taste of food, my eyes always looked out of the window intentionally or unintentionally, and the rows of festive red lanterns were a little more desolate in my eyes.

Every time I have a family reunion, it is also the time when I am the most lonely and sensitive...... I don't seem to lack anything, but I always have nothing.

Zhou Kaicheng left at 22 o'clock in the evening.

I delivered to his door, watched him get into the car, said goodbye to him, and watched his Bentley disappear into the night, only to stand there dumbfounded...... After standing for about a minute, I was about to turn around when I found a familiar figure leaning against a tree across the road, smoking a cigarette butt that was extinguished in the night like the glimmer of a firefly.

……

In the middle of the night when the cold wind was howling, my heart suddenly surged~

I walked towards him without obeying the call, walked up to him, breathed in the intoxicating breath of his body, and came into contact with the eyes as deep as the sea, I felt that my thoughts were in a mess, my heart was beating so hard, every cell in my body was about to move, but my throat was tightly speechless...... I drew closer to him, snatched the cigarette butt from his hand, and still trampled on the ground.

"It's cold outside, go to the car." His voice was faint, in the darkness of the night, like hypnosis.

I got into the car with him in a daze, even though I was still wearing slippers on my feet and I didn't have anything with my phone key wallet...... He started the car, drove silently out of the villa, drove in a direction I didn't care about, drove for ten minutes to the empty suburbs, and stopped.

There was a deathly silence in the car, and in the distant sky, New Year's fireworks were constantly blooming, and the sound of festive firecrackers was also intermittent......

"It's New Year's and you didn't come home?" I was the first to break the silence.

"Home?" He sneered, "If I remember correctly, on the first day we met, I told you that I had no father and no mother for a long time, and my family was ruined. You see, tonight, everyone is reunited, and I'm just a lonely ghost wandering around......"

His desolate tone made me feel sentimental, and I asked, "Why don't you come in when you're already outside my house?" ”

"Come in? Am I eligible? ”

His voice was light, low and sad, "Even Zhou Kaicheng can be invited by you as a family to have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, what am I?" ”

“……”

"I've been into your body, but I can't go into your home, so I can only hide in a corner in the dark, watching your 'family of three' reunite, talking and laughing," he still sneered, his eyes becoming more and more desolate, "So I'm wondering, after tonight, our game should be over—"

Without waiting for him to say more, I turned around and grabbed his face, took the initiative to kiss his lips, and took the initiative to pry his lips open...... Greedily grabbing his breath and trying to explore every corner, he also responded frantically...... I closed my eyes tightly, enjoying the ripple on my lips for a long time, but only for a moment. But it was only less than a minute, and he pushed me away very suddenly!

"Stop playing with me," he leaned his head back in his chair, panting slightly, his chest rising and falling violently~

"......" and I, the blood was still boiling, in an extremely chaotic mood I pounced on him again, my arms clasped around his neck, eagerly caught his thin lips, and the whole person was soft in his arms...... The warm entanglement made me feel the reels of the waves and the freshness of the sea breeze...... I was like a boat that had been adrift on the sea for a long time, and finally returned to the warm port.

In the back, we were in the back seat of the car, and we had everything we should do when we were in love.
