Zhou Shen stayed in Hong Kong for more than a week, during which Forsythia called him several times, but he did not answer.

In fact, you don't need to answer to know why Forsythia called him, it is nothing more than to divorce him for He Huan.

Of course, he didn't contact He Huan again.

He Huan also seemed to have disappeared, since she sent the last text message to Zhou Shen at the Hong Kong airport that day, she has not said a word.

Everything seemed to go silent.

This is like a marathon that challenges the limit, Zhou Shen had expected that he would encounter many obstacles on the way, but the most terrible of them was self-abandonment, so he tried his best and planned to run to the end in one go.

In late May, the night before Zhou Shen returned to Yecheng, he suddenly received a call from a leader of the Education Bureau.

The leader was the person who asked him to find an internship unit for He Huan before, but that person didn't know that He Huan was Zhou Shen's wife, and he was only an ordinary friend or relative, and calling Zhou Shen was quite reproachful.

"Mr. Zhou, the girl you asked me to arrange for XX kindergarten before was not kind, why did she suddenly resign after just a few months? He was in such a hurry that he caught the garden off guard. ”

Zhou Shen was speechless.

He knew that He Huan would leave there sooner or later, but he didn't expect her to leave so quickly.

The next day, Zhou Shen was the plane back to Yecheng at night, and when he got out of the airport, he found that the temperature in Yecheng was much higher than before he left, and the air was sticky and wet on people, and he could feel that early summer was coming.

The driver came to the airport to pick up Zhou Shen.

After getting in the car, the driver asked, "Mr. Zhou, is it time to take you home?" ”

Zhou Shen closed his eyes to recuperate, but said in his mouth: "If you don't go back, go to the company first." ”

"Good!" The driver was ordered to drive to the company.

When he was about to arrive at his destination, Zhou Shen suddenly changed his mind: "It's better not to go to the company, send me home." ”

The "......" driver could only find another place to turn around, feeling that the boss had gone to Hong Kong and came back, as if he had changed a person.

When the car arrived at the villa, Zhou Shen began to feel that his heart tightened inch by inch, and it was even difficult to breathe.

For a while, he had to face two situations, either he saw He Huan, who was still living in the villa, and she asked sharply; Either he found that people went to the empty building, and He Huan completely walked out of his life.

Zhou Shen couldn't tell which one he hoped for now, but it was certain that he didn't have enough courage to face either one.

"Mr. Zhou, it's here." The driver's reminder pulled Zhou Shen out of his thoughts, and he raised his eyes to look out the window only to find that he had arrived at the door of the house.

The driver opened the door for him and took his luggage out of the trunk for him.

"Give it to me, you can go back first." Zhou Shen took the trolley case from the driver's hand.

The driver was stunned, nodded a little and drove away.

Zhou Shen turned his head to look at the house behind him, there was no light in the window on the first floor, there was no light in the window on the second floor, what about the third floor? There are still no lights.

At that moment, he felt a little frightened, and suddenly he didn't dare to go in, leaned the trolley box against the wall, and took out half a pack of cigarettes.

Looking up at the sky, the night was so thick that you could see the moon, but you couldn't find a single star.

Looks like it's going to rain tomorrow.

Zhou Shen smoked a cigarette and lit it, and in the white mist, he remembered Hong Kong that night, with lightning and thunder, and it rained heavily almost in the middle of the night.

Zhou Shen leaned on the pillar at the door and smoked half a pack of cigarettes, his tongue was numb, and he took out the door card to open the door.

With a "drip-" sound, I pushed the door in, turned on the light, and found that the living room was neatly cleaned and spotless, and the air seemed to smell desolate.

Zhou Shen only felt panicked at that moment, as if he had fallen down from the edge of the cliff all at once.

He threw away the suitcase in his hand and ran to the second floor as fast as he could.

Open the bedroom door and there is no one on the bed.

opened the changing room, and there was no one left of He Huan's clothes in the cabinet.

When she opened the bathroom and the little study she had cleaned up for review, there was nothing left, her toiletries, towels, used toothbrushes and ointments, including the books she had placed on the table and the waste paper she had written......

Everything that had to do with her was gone, so stingy that there wasn't even a hair left.

Zhou Shen sat on the chair in frustration like a balloon that had been emptied in an instant, looking at the empty bookcases and tables, and smiled a little.

Well done, He Huan!

Zhou Shen returned to Yecheng for the second week, and he had plans to move.

He asked Fang Qin to find a serviced apartment near the company, which was finely decorated, with complete household appliances and furniture, and he could move in with his bag.

Zhou Shen took a little time to follow the intermediary to see the house, and he fell in love at a glance, and signed the purchase contract on the spot.

It was the first time for the agent to meet such a cheerful owner, and when he left, he was still boasting about how much this house was worth, and Zhou Shen could only smile.

In fact, the house is very ordinary, the only thing that makes Zhou Shen feel satisfied is the area and layout of this house, more than 90 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, one bedroom and one study, just right for him to live alone.

After Zhou Shen looked at the house, it was already approaching evening, and he planned to go back after eating something nearby, but he didn't have the slightest appetite after going around, so he randomly packed a sandwich at the coffee shop on the street and carried it back to the company.

It's better to work overtime, and when he gets busy, he feels that his heart is not so empty.

As a result, Zhou Shen parked the car, and as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw Forsythia, she was talking to the front desk lady at the time, and she should have asked Zhou Shen's whereabouts.

The front desk lady had sharp eyes and saw Zhou Shen walking in from the door, and immediately ran over to report: "Mr. Zhou, Miss Yu is looking for you." ”

Now he can't run away anyway.

Forsythia also found him, walked over slowly with his lips raised and his hands folded, looked Zhou Shen up and down, and asked proudly: "Hide, why don't you hide?" ”

“……”

"Didn't you have a lot of skills before? If you don't answer my phone, you have to force me to come to your company to block you! ”

“……”

"What? Can't even speak? Forsythia really became more and more angry the more he talked, but when he looked down and saw the sandwich in Zhou Shen's hand, he suddenly felt pitiful again.

Really, Zhou Shen stood there silently at that time, giving Forsythia a pitiful feeling.

She relented for a moment and asked, "Overtime?" Just eat this? ”

"Well, you came to me on purpose?"

"Can't I come to you if it's okay? Anyway, you are also my elder, let's go, my niece and daughter-in-law invite you to have a meal? ”

“……”

In the end, Forsythia chose the "flower food" that he had taken Zhou Shen to before.

The restaurant is still the same, elegant and fresh, but there are a little more customers than the last time I came.

"Remember which table we sat at last time?" Forsythia led Zhou Shen to sit on the last seat, and the blue and white porcelain vase was still on it, but it was not a peach branch inserted in it.

There are no peach blossoms in this season, and there are two begonias in it, but it is a different charm.

Forsythia called the waiter to come over and order, and it was still the same thing they ate last time.

Zhou Shen didn't speak from beginning to end, and it wasn't until Forsythia finished ordering that he spoke: "I know that you are here to ask about the sin today, but you don't need to come here on purpose." ”

He Huan smiled, took the teapot and poured a glass of water for Zhou Shen: "Honeysuckle brewing, go to the fire for you!" ”

“……”

"What qualifications and positions do I have to ask you for a sin, and as long as you feel that you have done a clear conscience, why should you be afraid that I will come to Xingshi to ask for sin?"

“……”

Well, Zhou Shen has to admit that this girl has become more and more powerful since she followed Feng Lixing.

He took a sip of tea, and sure enough, it was a faint and cool smell of honeysuckle, and when he looked up, he saw Forsythia looking at him leisurely.

"Are you really separated from He Huan?"

"......" Zhou Shen was stunned and took another sip of water, "What did she tell you?" ”

"No, I haven't contacted her since the last time she went to look for me, and I called her some time ago only to find out that she had stopped her number."

"You mean she changed her phone number?"

"It should be, I can't get through, saying that her number is down."

Zhou Shen's lips hooked.

She really disappeared completely, resigned, moved, and now even changed her mobile phone number.

Although this was a process that Zhou Shen had expected a long time ago, he still felt unbearable pain in his heart on this day, but he pretended to be good on his face, and he couldn't see any special emotions.

Forsythia died in a hurry: "You are talking, are you really leaving?" ”

"Divorced, she signed the divorce agreement when I was in Hong Kong!"

"What?" Forsythia was speechless for a while, and it took a long time to know that he was glaring at Zhou Shen, "Your brain is broken?" Why did you leave? Is it easy for two people to go from strangers to husband and wife? How can you say that you can leave! ……”

She was so angry that she said a lot at once.

Zhou Shen saw that Forsythia looked impatient, picked up the kettle and poured her a cup of tea: "Honeysuckle brewing, it seems that you are the one who needs to lower the fire." ”

"Zhou Shen!" Forsythia really can't see him like this, "What the hell is it for?" You obviously care about her very much, I can see that the way you look at her is different from the way you look at others, why do you have to get divorced? ”

"It's not a fuss, it's going to come to this point sooner or later!"

"What?" Forsythia really didn't understand, "Are you terminally ill?" ”

“……”

"Or did you do something sorry for her? Like a new love? Another example is to enlarge other women's bellies? ”

"Forsythia!" This time, Zhou Shen couldn't listen anymore, "The relationship between me and her is not as simple as you think. ”

"What's not easy! She likes you, you care about him, the two are attracted to each other, they depend on each other, what can't be solved? Is it because the old man doesn't like her? Or do you think it's not right for you to be in the same household? ”

"Neither!"

"What's that? What else is there that you can't solve? ”

"Yes! Age! ”

Only age makes Zhou Shen powerless, because this is the law of nature, and he can't resist.

He Huan is like the newborn sun, the light will bloom day by day and become more and more brilliant, and he has entered the age of not being confused, and if he goes down, he will age day by day and enter the twilight.

He and He Huan are fundamentally standing on two completely different points of life.

"He Huan is very good, I know that I am lucky to be able to meet her, but I can't delay her so selfishly."

"That's why you insist on divorcing her?" Forsythia couldn't believe it, "Zhou Shen, you're going to laugh at me to death, this is a problem that can't be solved!" ”

"But this is really a problem that we need to face between us, and we may not be aware of it now, but the more we go on, the bigger the problem will be exposed, after all, 21 years old is not a small number." Zhou Shen already showed a strong sense of loss.

Forsythia glanced at the man opposite with an elegant gaze, and suddenly confirmed very seriously: "Zhou Shen, you have no confidence in front of He Huan!" ”

“……”

"You just admit it, you really don't have confidence in front of her, do you? You are afraid that He Huan will gradually move away from you as you grow older, and you are afraid that you will become a burden to her in the future. ”

"......" Zhou Shen took another sip of water, his eyes were heavy, he looked at Forsythia for a while, and finally could only smile bitterly, "Yes, I admit that you are partly right, I have no confidence in our future." ”

"No, it's not that you don't have confidence in your future, you don't have confidence in you, you don't have confidence in He Huan!"

“……”

"You're not sure how long He Huan's feelings for you can last, and you're not sure how long He Huan can rely on you, so you choose to leave now!" Forsythia's tone gradually became intense, this was the most powerless appearance she had ever seen of Zhou Shen until she knew him.

Zhou Shen held his forehead and smiled, he denied that Forsythia was completely wrong, but the real reason why he wanted to force He Huan to divorce was not this.

"My lack of confidence in the future is only a small part of it, and I also know that He Huan will not leave me easily, but I can't be so selfish. She's so good, she's still young, and there are countless possibilities in her later life, but either one will be better than me together. ”

"Fart!" Forsythia couldn't stand it, and forgave her for swearing in such an elegant environment, "Zhou Shen, you really don't look like such a bastard!" If that's what you thought, why did you marry her in the first place? Since you married her, why can't you stick to it? ”

yes, why?

Zhou Shen has also asked himself countless times about this question, but he can't give a reasonable explanation, he can only walk by feeling.

"Forsythia, do you know what He Huan wants most? What is the most feared loss? ”

“…… Say! ”

"What she wants most is a stable life, with relatives by her side, and this is what she fears losing the most, but I didn't know this at first. The reason why I married her was very simple, one was to help her get through the difficulties, and the other was that I was selfish, I liked the feeling of being with her, but gradually I found that she was far better than I imagined, and she became more and more dependent on me, but this is not a good thing, I will leave her sooner or later, what if she is left alone at that time? If she had another child, her situation would only be worse. ”

Zhou Shen thought of the Mr. Liu who died suddenly, cerebral hemorrhage caused by high blood pressure, and he was in a hurry, and the girl he married was sent abroad by the Liu family after the funeral was done, and only a small part of the inheritance was shared.

This world is so brutal, especially in large families with intricate chains of interests, no one knows what will happen to them in a hundred years.

"So you'd rather get rid of her now? It doesn't matter if she will be hurt or not, and whether she will hate you for it? ”

"Hate me?" Zhou Shen laughed again, "It would be great if she could hate me, and I believe that if she leaves me now, she will definitely be hurt less than in the future." ”

This is the reason why Zhou Shen insisted on divorcing He Huan, he wishfully thought that the current damage was temporary, and he had to give He Huan a future that a girl of her age should have.

"He Huan will meet a better person in the future, and that person will accompany her through her whole life, and I can only accompany her on a journey."
