Chapter 40

For Lin Hui and He Jianshan, the last day of the year consisted of many kinds of sounds: the screeching of papers in the conference room, the sound of hurried footsteps, whispers and eloquence, and the sudden sound of the annual meeting. Music, and finally gathered together in the crisp crash of wine glasses.

It's eleven o'clock, and there's still an hour before the end of the day.

He Jianshan hugged Lin Hui and whispered, "I don't want to drive home."

Lin Hui said: "The traffic police won't let you drive. What's the matter, let's live in the company today."

He Jianshan's office is connected to the suite. Even if he doesn't live very much, the cleaning is dedicated to cleaning and ventilating every day. All kinds of toiletries are readily available, which is clean and tidy like a hotel.

He Jianshan was lying on the bed, his hands folded behind his head, and he didn't move. Lin Hui had never seen him so tired: his watch was thrown on the bed casually; his shirt was already crushed; One was buttoned neatly, the other was rolled up; the tie hung loosely around the neck...

Looking at the chandelier above his head, He Jianshan suddenly said, "Do you remember that I asked about the pen in your house?"

Lin Hui paused while hanging his suit, then turned his head to look at him: "Well."

"I have an identical one." He Jianshan looked at Lin Hui.

Lin Hui seemed a little surprised: "Do you have one—the same one?"

"It was my tenth birthday present," He Jianshan closed his eyes, "my mother gave it to me."

Lin Hui said clearly: "So that's the case, then she—"

"Because she couldn't get a gift in time for a date, she took the gift that her lover gave her before, this pen, the muse of AS, and gave it to me."

Lin Hui looked at He Jianshan in shock.

He Jianshan smiled: "Do you think it's ridiculous?"

Lin Hui opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word.

"It's even more absurd," He Jianshan closed her eyes, "she probably didn't read the gift carefully. In the beautifully packaged black box, there was a passionate and explicit love letter, and it was full of them. The love story between them was taken apart by me in front of everyone."

Until now, He Jianshan can still clearly remember all the scenes on his tenth birthday——

It was a grand banquet: colorful balloons hung around every corner; musicians in tuxedos played live music; fine food was served on white plates trimmed with gold; everyone was dressed beautifully , they clink glasses with themselves happily, smile all over their faces, and say words of blessing...

Then came Yao Qianyi, who was long overdue.

She was always smiling and graceful, speaking softly and elegantly like a princess in a fairy tale. Just like her name, Yao Qianyi has always loved dancing and has a very good talent. After she became pregnant that year, her emotions broke down for a time, and the pregnancy changed her body. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to a person who practiced dance all the year round and had high requirements for her body. Fortunately, the He family was strong and supported by Wan Zhu behind her. After giving birth to He Jianshan, she resumed dancing and then came back. Today, her career is getting more and more successful day by day, and she is getting busier day by day. This is the way this family is, everyone is busy, and He Jianshan is used to it. Although He Jianshan hasn't seen her several times a year since he was a child, it doesn't prevent him from having a natural closeness and affection for his mother.

"Xiaoshan, happy birthday~ This is a gift from my mother, I wish you progress in your studies~"

When Yao Qianyi smiled and handed the gift to He Jianshan, He Jianshan was so happy that her palm warmed. Originally, Yao Qianyi called back the night before and said that it was because of work that he might not be able to make it to his birthday. He was a little disappointed, but he didn't expect that Yao Qianyi suddenly appeared again and brought him a birthday present.

"Can I take it apart now?"

He Jianshan rarely had such an impatient moment. He has been praised since he was a child. Although he is young, he speaks and acts like a little adult, mature and reliable. But at this moment, he is nothing but a child waiting to open presents.

"Of course." Yao Qianyi patted him on the back encouragingly.

He Jianshan excitedly opened the gift and took out a beautifully packaged box. He looked at the box curiously, stroked the black suede, looked at Yao Qianyi and asked, "Mom, what's inside?"

Yao Qianyi bent down slightly, the corners of her mouth raised:

"You'll know when you open it!"

Not every story has a happy ending. The story of He Zhao and Yao Qianyi had a very good start: when they were in love, they were the protagonists of a dreamy and beautiful love idol drama that everyone talked about; after marriage, everyone envied the warmth and respect of the couple who supported each other . No one thought that this story suddenly turned into a dirty and ugly appearance at a certain moment without warning.

That birthday party eventually became a scandal: the thin letter paper fell from the box, was picked up by He Jianshan, opened, and then came into He Zhao's hands. In this way, the secret affair appeared in front of everyone in a dramatic way, and finally became gossip wandering in the circle after dinner. And waiting for He Jianshan, there are only endless quarrels, quarrels, quarrels. He never thought that the gift he opened with his own hands on his tenth birthday would eventually lead him into a nightmare.

He Zhao first lost his mind: at his son's birthday banquet, the cheating wife gave her son a gift from her lover, which was a blatant humiliation; and Yao Qianyi's guilty conscience and wrongdoing from the beginning turned into a broken jar. She fell, venting all the grief and dissatisfaction she had encountered in her life. They accuse and abuse each other, and there is no doubt that He Jianshan has also become a prop for them to attack each other.

He Zhao pointed to He Jianshan and said, "Is he also born to you with another man?"

Yao Qianyi sneered and said, "Yes, you just gave me a son for nothing, for ten years."

After He Zhao frantically took He Jianshan for a paternity test, He Jianshan's grandfather finally couldn't stand it any longer: "You should divorce."

He Zhao refused.

At the beginning, in order to support Yao Qianyi's career, Wan Zhu and Yao Qianyi were deeply bound: endorsements, promotions, and even some business cooperation were specially designed for Yao Qianyi, including marketing their enviable love. Once divorced, in order to reduce the negative impact on Wan Zhu, the official publicity can only be a peaceful end to the ten-year marriage. But He Zhao suffered so much humiliation, and he couldn't accept that he had to keep Yao Qianyi's face under such circumstances.

Then simply leave and torture each other.

However, Yao Qianyi couldn't stand it at first. The war with He Zhao completely stopped her work, let alone performing, she couldn't even calm down and dance well. For her, this was an unbearable thing. She begged for mercy, she begged He Zhao for mercy, she desperately begged He Zhao, she could not want anything, it didn't matter if she divorced or not, she just hoped that her life could return to normal quickly. But He Zhao did not agree, he was determined to torture Yao Qianyi. He even does whatever Yao Qianyi does, likes to find several men to find several men, but he just cut off all Yao Qianyi's performances and job opportunities.

He knows Yao Qianyi too well. She loves dancing and her career so much. It is more uncomfortable for her not to dance than for her to die. After all, at the beginning, he was also attracted by the brilliance of her dancing. Live, but can also be troubled by dance.

When Yao Qianyi realized that He Zhao would not give up, she had the idea of ​​leaving the He family. This is how people's hearts are. When Yao Qianyi has love in her heart, the He family is a warm shelter; when the love disappears, everything in the He family becomes a cage, and even He Jianshan becomes her shackles. However, when she really gave up everything and eloped with others in a hurry, she suddenly encountered a traffic accident——

"Her lover died, and her own legs were injured and she couldn't stand up."

He Jianshan sat up from the bed, and he calmly finished the story that made Lin Hui unable to calm down: He was cold all over, holding He Jianshan's hand all the time, not knowing whether he wanted to warm him or be warmed by him. Lin recalled the gossip about the He family's posts he had seen on the Internet before, and the truth that people speculated, guessed, and hidden behind it was so embarrassing.

"And then?" Lin Hui asked.

He Jianshan didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he said, "After learning that she can't stand up again, she committed suicide."

"In her ward, there is a fish tank with three goldfish. There was no one else in the room that day. She told me that she wanted to see the goldfish, and I—"

Lin Hui suddenly realized something and trembled: "He Jianshan..."

He Jianshan closed his eyes and clenched Lin Hui's hand, and then opened it again: "I went over with the goldfish, and she broke the fish tank—"

"I don't want to hear any more... He Jianshan..." Lin Hui hugged He Jianshan tightly and shouted, choking, "...I'm sorry...I won't ask...I won't ask...don't tell me now..."

Lin Hui's tears fell on He Jianshan's face drop by drop. He Jianshan carefully opened a little distance and slowly wiped it for him. But Lin Hui had too many tears, and the warm liquid spread into a river in his heart.

Yao Qianyi committed suicide by cutting her wrists with glass fragments from the fish tank, in front of He Jianshan.

This extremely selfish and extremely dance-loving woman finally left a strong ending in the hearts of He Jianshan and He Zhao in her own way. This incident directly caused He Jianshan to be sent abroad to study and live immediately, and even under the arrangement of his grandfather, he received psychological intervention for a period of time. Although he didn't feel that he was seriously affected, in fact, for a long time, he and He Zhao were unable to face each other.

He Jianshan still often thinks of Yao Qianyi: thinking of her smiling and letting him open the box, the corners of her mouth curved into a beautiful arc; thinking of her saying she wanted to take a look at the goldfish, her eyes full of longing... It's strange, in all this there is no such thing as Before it happened, when the home was still intact, he hadn't even thought about her that often. She always appeared in He Jianshan's mind inadvertently, transpiring his emotions over and over again, and seemed to want to drain all his happiness, which forced He Jianshan to devote himself to his studies. Busy can make him forget her.

It is said that time can heal everything. A few years later, He Zhao married Jiang Qing, and with He Jianchuan, the family was happy; and He Jianshan grew up safely, and then successfully took over Wanzhu after returning to China and turned it into a family. better and stronger. However, who would have thought that on such a happy and peaceful night after so many years, he still needed to remind He Zhao over and over again:

"He Jianchuan is not Yao Qianyi."

It's like suffering from sequelae after recovering from the disease. He Zhao has unprecedented anxiety and rejection about his youngest son learning music and making a band, which is deeply related to art; and He Jianshan, although everything about "Yao Qianyi" has long been It won't affect him, but he's used to not stopping himself - it used to be studying, then it was work.

Only when he was at work did he feel that he was safe.

Lin Hui was crying all the time and couldn't stop. He felt so sad. If he didn't cry, he didn't know what to do. He didn't know until now that it was not He Jianshan who wanted to draw a line with the world, but the world had been rejecting him: he had obviously given him everything that everyone envied, but he borrowed his hand and took it away. The most common, most common, and most precious thing in the world.

He has everything, but he has nothing.

He Jianshan was a little helpless: "Why do you seem to be crying after falling in love with me. Fortunately, you won't go to work tomorrow, otherwise you will definitely not be able to see people with your eyes."

He hugged Lin Hui in his arms and comforted: "It's all over, I'm not fine. You may not believe it when you say it, but I'm not particularly painful or sad, not even 'hatred', after so many things happened. Maybe it's because they didn't give me a lot of things in the first place.

Only occasionally he would think, if he hadn't been in a hurry to open the gift, or if he hadn't walked over with the fish tank that day, would everything have been different? In that case, even if what happened, could their broken family of three be able to walk a little further?

"I'll give it to you." Lin Hui suddenly opened his mouth.

"what?"

"He Jianshan, I give you a lot of love."

Lin Hui's eyes were still very red, but his tone was unquestionable, revealing convincing firmness.

Looking at Lin Hui, He Jianshan thought to himself that he seemed to have forgotten that long ago, before he knew it, he already had a lot, which came from his love.

But he didn't mind being a boyfriend with amnesia at this moment.

He Jianshan couldn't help laughing. He bit Lin Hui's ear, pressed him under him, and said softly, "Then we're done."

"Um."

Lin Hui hooked his neck and slowly closed his eyes before He Jianshan's kiss fell:

I give you a lot of love, and I will give you a home.

The author has something to say:

You will have a home.
