    Chapter 86 Lost

    The silent night was terrifying.

    The sound of the moving second hand of the distant clock occasionally coincides with the beating of the heart, and after a brief meeting, each continues at its own frequency.

    Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't move, and he was holding the peace.

    It was obvious that they were close to each other without the slightest gap, and it was obvious that the person was hugged by him in his arms, but it seemed that they were separated by a farther and farther distance.

    Ren Zhaoyuan's silence is the most effective way to refuse.

    I don't know how long it took, but Tan Zheng slowly loosened his strength and lowered his arms.

    Ren Zhaoyuan didn't hesitate for a moment, the hug and stay that lasted as long as before had never existed.

    Tan Zheng stood at the bottom, watching him go upstairs step by step, getting further away from him.

    Even the sound of footsteps was far away.

    A second before the sound of Ren Zhaoyuan's footsteps completely disappeared, Tan Zheng followed upstairs in three steps, reaching out to hold it before Ren Zhaoyuan closed the door.

    Ren Zhaoyuan looked up at him.

    Tan Zheng took back his hand against the door and said to him, "Good night."

    Ren Zhaoyuan's Adam's apple moved slightly, lowered his eyes, and closed the door.

    Tan Zheng was a little nervous and relieved after Ren Zhaoyuan couldn't see himself. He scratched his index finger lightly on the door, and said in a low voice, "Have a good dream."

    There is no shortage of sleeping places at home. There is an empty room next to the master bedroom, but Tan Zheng doesn't want to go.

    I don’t feel sleepy, don’t want to sleep, and most importantly, don’t want to go.

    He leaned against the wall by the door, watching the lights reflected on the glass in the distance.

    Later, legs were sore and sat on the floor. It seemed that thought a lot, but it seemed that didn't think about anything.

    When the bedroom door was silently opened, Tan Zheng didn't realize that he had been sitting for too long, so he squinted for a while, vaguely aware that he saw Ren Zhaoyuan at the bedroom door only when he was being watched.

    Always be quiet when your eyes meet.

    Tan Zheng looked up at him, dazedly seeing in Ren Zhaoyuan's eyes a few bits and pieces that could be analyzed as distressing.

    Too bad this idea didn't last long.

    "Are you doing it for me?"

    Tan Zheng seemed to be poured cold water on his head, and everyone was sober in an instant.

    "No.." Tan Zheng hurriedly got up, "I wanted to stay near you for a while, and fell asleep accidentally. I didn't mean to let you see Bo Xinyi."

    Ren Zhaoyuan did not speak again.

    Tan Zheng stood for a while and pointed to the bedroom next to him: "I'll go to my room to sleep, you can call me anytime if you have anything."

    Ren Zhaoyuan just looked at him silently. Tan Zheng used behavior instead of words to walk to the next room. After entering, he looked at Ren Zhaoyuan and closed the door.

    The next day, Ren Zhaoyuan didn't go out. He drank a few sips of water, but still had little to eat. He only drank a bowl of porridge in the morning. Tan Zheng saw that he was willing to drink some soup, soup, and water, so he made a few more at noon and evening, and Ren Zhaoyuan drank more after filling.

    On the third day, Ren Zhaoyuan went out after breakfast, and his assistant drove over to pick him up. Ren Zhaoyuan was not at home, and Tan Zheng didn't stay at home any longer, and hurried to the company to deal with the backlog of affairs for the past two days.

    The same goes for the fourth day.

    Ren Zhaoyuan hardly ever talked to him except for occasional necessity. When Tan Zheng spoke, he listened. He didn't deliberately not listen or read, or lost his temper, but he didn't want to speak.

    He didn't eat much, he was reluctant to take medicine, he was not very energetic, and he didn't want Tan Zheng to help him wash his face and bathe. Fortunately, he became more and more proficient in wearing disposable rubber gloves, and he did not wet the wound any more.

    Of course it would hurt, Tan Zheng knew, but Ren Zhaoyuan didn't want it, so he had no choice.

    During the two dressing changes, Ren Zhaoyuan sat quietly and was fiddled with by Tan Zheng, and then got up after changing.

    I don't want to ignore him.

    Tan Zheng was afraid that Ren Zhaoyuan would not pay attention to his hand and made a special trip to explain to his assistants carefully during the day. After chatting in the middle, he learned that Ren Zhaoyuan had not done anything in the Design Park, and his work had been postponed.

    He just didn't want to stay home with him.

    It was a coincidence that Ren Zhaoyuan and Zhao Yuanqing were together.

    Tan Zheng has a document for Jin Shiyan. Originally, it would be fine to send it to someone, but he was bored and wanted to find Jin Shiyan to breathe.

    After not talking much, he smoked a cigarette at Jin Shiyan's place.

    After that, didn't drive back to the company, and went around to the parking lot on the third floor of the shopping mall.

    When first found Tan Xuqing and Clear to contact the police, after negotiating the compensation for the damaged cars, Tan Zheng specifically asked if a ring was found at the scene, and the police asked the person who passed by and said no.

    Tan Zheng made a special trip and found some sandalwood beads, but he estimated that it was only half of the original bracelet.

    No ring found.

    After another two days, there is no need to come again.

    The longer it is, the harder it is to find.

    But still want to try it.

    Sometimes people just pin the cause and effect of things on things that are not necessary.

    Tan Zhenghui couldn't help but think that the ring that Ren Zhaoyuan had just put on his ring finger that day had a bad meaning, as if the situation could be improved if he could get it back.

    But still not found.

    Only one more missing sandalwood bead was found in one corner.

    After putting it in my pocket, it was like giving birth to a little hope.

    That ring, which he wore on his middle finger for Ren Zhaoyuan, finally disappeared when he finally moved it into his ring finger without even knowing the reason and opportunity.

    It was getting dark and couldn't find the ring, so wanted to buy a bunch of roses to go back.

    Then he walked out of the flower shop holding a rose, and across the road traffic, saw Ren Zhaoyuan and Zhao Yuanqing coming out of the coffee shop side by side.

    They talked while walking, and then stopped face to face to continue chatting, Ren Zhaoyuan even chuckled.

    Tan Zheng did not go home.

    The bunch of champagne roses was placed in the car, and he called Jin Shiyan to a bar.

    Tan Zheng's alcohol intake is very good. He rarely gets drunk during the drinking rounds at the wine bureau, but he can't bear it because he wants to get drunk.

    "Ren Zhaoyuan and Zhao Yuanqing are together?" Jin Shiyan tried his best to pull back the high voice, "Where did you see it, and what did they do?"

    "Speak," Tan Zheng said in a low voice, looking at the wine in the glass, "laughed."

    Jin Shiyan's words got stuck in his throat. Tan Zheng was so depressed that he pulled him to get drunk. He thought it was what happened to Ren Zhaoyuan and Zhao Yuanqing.

    At least he had to give him an affectionate hug to be worthy of Tan Zheng's current state.

    Jin Shiyan thought for a while: "Ren Zhaoyuan wants to get back with Zhao Yuanqing? It's impossible."

    Tan Zheng shook his head.

    Jin Shiyan guessed it was impossible.

    "Then why are you so uncomfortable, just because the two of them met?" Jin Shiyan relaxed and leaned in his seat. He drank less, but at first glance, he only felt that he was more drunk than Tan Zheng.

    Tan Zheng didn't shake his head this time, he didn't know what he was thinking.

    Jin Shiyan patted him on the shoulder: "Listen to me, it's normal for you to be unhappy about this matter, and no one is happy to put it on anyone, but the two of you have nothing to do, just meet, right?"

    "Um."

    "At a time like this, the two of you are still cold. Let it go first. Why don't you just meet up? When you're reconciled, you can let Ren Zhaoyuan write a letter of guarantee that you won't see Zhao Yuanqing in this life."

    Tan Zheng poured another half cup before speaking: "It's not because we met..."

    Jin Shiyan glared: "I've been talking about it for a long time, so why are you?"

    Tan Zheng didn't know what to say.

    He envied Zhao Yuanqing, and later hated Zhao Yuanqing because of Ren Zhaoyuan.

    He felt that Zhao Yuanqing was not worthy of Ren Zhaoyuan's sincere treatment over the years, that Zhao Yuanqing was sorry to Ren Zhaoyuan, and that he was completely different from Zhao Yuanqing, and would never be the second him.

    But now he often feels afraid, whether he will be at Ren Zhaoyuan's place, he and Zhao Yuanqing are only the difference in degree.

    In the past, Zhao Yuanqing betrayed his marriage, and he appeared beside Ren Zhaoyuan with all kinds of promises and all guarantees. But now that he broke his promise, Zhao Yuanqing reappeared.

    They meet.

    Joke.

    These days, Ren Zhaoyuan has never given him a smile.

    I don't want to say a word to him.

    Zhao Yuanqing was able to walk and chat with Ren Zhaoyuan side by side, and he could get a small smile from Ren Zhaoyuan.

    They met, and if it hadn't happened by chance, he wouldn't have known.

    It was clear that when Ren Zhaoyuan received a call, he had to record it for him.

    He was never confident enough in front of Ren Zhaoyuan, but he was rarely uneasy when they were together, because Ren Zhaoyuan always gave him the greatest sense of security in silence.

    All the jealousy, jealousy, and unhappiness, big and small, were properly accepted and placed by Ren Zhaoyuan.

    But now, Ren Zhaoyuan is unwilling to give it to him.

    What he gave was always so gentle and silent that many times people would forget that as long as he was willing, he could easily take back everything.

    "Ren Zhaoyuan, don't give it to me anymore.."

    ——

    Ren Zhaoyuan received a message from Zhao Yuanqing two days ago that he would take Feng Yun to recuperate abroad for a period of time, and wanted to meet before his departure.

    He didn't think it was necessary.

    But if Zhao Yuanqing hadn't happened to come over that day, he might not have been able to get to Tan Zheng in time.

    As far as the matter is concerned, he accepts this favor.

    Therefore, when he received a message saying that when he left tomorrow, Ren Zhaoyuan agreed to meet, and the time and place would be decided by Zhao Yuanqing.

    It's a coffee shop they used to go to.

    The bitter taste of the coffee irritated the lining of the mouth and tongue, and Ren Zhaoyuan politely took a sip without moving.

    "My mother told me, sorry, I just realized that I failed in so many places, but I don't know how to apologize to you, and you don't seem to need me to make up for it."

    "You don't need to apologize, it's all over," Ren Zhaoyuan changed the subject, "Is Auntie okay?"

    "It's okay, but I can't compare it to before, because the divorce lawsuit has been in a bad mood again.."

    Zhao Yuanqing's voice weakened when he said this, realizing that Ren Zhaoyuan had also worked hard to divorce himself.

    Ren Zhaoyuan didn't notice: "It's a good thing to change the environment to recuperate for a while."

    "It will take about a year," Zhao Yuanqing pursed his lips and smiled bitterly, "I will hear good news from you next time when I come back."

    "almost."

    Zhao Yuanqing was silent for a while, and asked about Teacher Sun's current situation, saying that he wanted to leave to visit, but the teacher and his wife were not at home.

    "Summer vacation, they went to the children's place."

    "I forgot there was still summer vacation."

    The courteous chat was both rare and made Zhao Yuanqing feel like sitting on pins and needles. Ren Zhaoyuan seemed to plan to take the time to repay him for helping out, and he never showed any anxiety or impatience during the process.

    Later, Zhao Yuanqing offered to leave and went out to walk along the road.

    "Zhaoyuan, do you hate me?"

    "It's over."

    Zhao Yuanqing took two steps from his side and stopped in front of him, and Ren Zhaoyuan also stopped.

    "I'm leaving tomorrow, can I give you a hug?" Zhao Yuanqing looked at him and raised his hand a little, "This is the last time in my life."

    Ren Zhaoyuan was quiet for two seconds, then curled his lips: "No, it's a smooth journey."

    After the separation, Ren Zhaoyuan went to the doctor in Tongzhou. He originally thought it would be good to just look at the wound and talk about the situation. He didn't expect to have to take a blood test. When the result came out, he did several tests as required by the doctor, which took a long time. It's too late to go home.

    I don't want no one at home.

    The lights in the living room on the first floor turned on as the entrance door opened.

    It takes effort to meet people with strength, and every minute of normal response is tiring.

    He raised his hand and pressed his forehead, and went to the cloakroom to slowly change his clothes.

    Then sat down on the sofa on the first floor.

    Until the light from the headlights reflected in the window, Ren Zhaoyuan pinched his brows, got up from the sofa and planned to go upstairs, his eyes inadvertently swept to the center of the coffee table.

    Ren Zhaoyuan's familiar ring, he had worn it for five years.

    Below the ring is a note left by the housekeeper, saying it was found during cleaning.

    how come.

    He threw it away long ago.

    Ren Zhaoyuan looked at the two letters ZY engraved on the inside of the ring. In recent days, his brain, which was not enough, took a while to react. This should be Zhao Yuanqing's.

    Zhao Yuanqing came in a few days ago.

    Today, Zhao Yuanqing seems to have mentioned it, saying that when he came to see him that day, he felt that it was inappropriate to take off the ring and put it in his pocket.

    He didn't take it to heart, he just listened to it and just said "Look forward" to Zhao Yuanqing.

    It would fall right here.

    The entrance door opened with the sound of the unlocking success. Ren Zhaoyuan turned his head to look over. Tan Zheng rarely met his gaze, but only stared at the thing in his hand, with a deep voice——

    "what are you doing?"
