He Yunsheng had just finished speaking. Xi Feng had already taken two steps to grab his mobile phone and hung up the phone and said, "Don't call someone, I can continue to take care of you tonight."

He Yunsheng did not step up to fight with him for the phone, but watched him and sneered: "You take care of me? Are you going to take care of me for the rest of my life?"

Xi Feng was stunned when he heard the words. He touched He Yunsheng's cell phone with his finger, and was speechless for a long while.

He Yunsheng continued: "Don't you see me being pitiful? When I become an old man, you will take care of me as a lonely man?"

"I..." Xi Feng could neither agree nor say anything to refuse.

He Yunsheng was a little weak, "Xi Feng, I can't get married. I will find a man who loves to be with me. This is the final outcome for me. You care about me enough, beyond the scope of friends, to Let's stop here."

After speaking, He Yunsheng took his mobile phone back from Xi Feng's hand, did not redial the number, just turned and walked inside.

Xi Feng stood in place for more than ten minutes, never getting the answer he wanted, and finally turned and left lonely.

He Yunsheng did not call anyone to accompany him, but returned home alone and sat on the sofa in silence for half an hour.

When brushing teeth, because only one hand can move, He Yunsheng tried for a long time but failed to squeeze the toothpaste onto the toothbrush. He felt impatient and angry. He waved all the cups and toothbrushes on the countertop to the ground, leaving his left hand fiercely. Hammered the marble countertop.

He really bored Xi Feng. If it weren't for Xi Feng, his life wouldn't have been so bad!

At work the next day, He Yunsheng went to ask the manager in charge for leave. He was originally inconvenient with one hand, and seeing that there were still a few days before the National Day, he simply took all his annual leave this year.

The manager saw that his hands were hurting like this, so he asked him to hand over the work and approved his fake.

After asking for leave, He Yunsheng returned to the office to hand over with his colleagues, and went straight home on the same day, booked air tickets and hotels online, and planned to fly to Japan for vacation.

Xi Feng only learned that He Yunsheng was on vacation that afternoon. He heard the news from a colleague in the finance department. At that time, he was a little confused. He went back to the office and took out his mobile phone and looked at He Yunsheng's number for a long time, but he did not dial out.

Up to now, he didn't know that He Yunsheng was hiding from him, and he really had a pit in his head.

When leaving get off work in the afternoon, Xi Feng met Xu Qing in the elevator.

Xu Qing stood in front, not looking at him from beginning to end. When the elevator reached the first floor and the elevator door opened, Xu Qing raised his head and walked outside.

Xi Feng looked at Xu Qing's back, knowing that he would not be able to go back this time, even if he said no amount of sorry, it would be useless. He knew that he didn't like Xu Qing enough, and he would still be unable to avoid hurting him if he continued to be with him, it would be better to end it now.

Thinking of this, Xi Feng suddenly remembered He Yunsheng, who was unwilling to get married. If you have to be with someone you don't love, it will be a torture for each other for a long time.

I go to get off work every day, go home to eat, play online games and sleep.

Xi Feng's life was tasteless, but once he calmed down, all the things he thought about in his head were He Yunsheng. Even when he was dating in college, he never tried to toss and turn for a person.

It was like this until the National Day holiday. On the eve of the holiday, his mother called and asked him if he wanted to go home. Xi Feng hesitated and couldn't go back. Soon after finishing the call, he received a call from his closest classmate in college, telling him that he was going to get married.

Xi Feng was stunned at the time, "Why is it so sudden?"

The classmate said: "It was decided suddenly, and I didn't plan to handle it, so I just called and talked to my good buddies."

Xi Feng asked him quickly: "What day? I must come to the wedding."

The classmate smiled, "There really is no wedding, so just pull the certificate before the holiday and it's over. If you want to come, come and play on National Day, and see my wife by the way."

Hearing this proposal, Xi Feng was moved. He said, "Wait for me to think about it."

As a result of consideration, Xi Feng finally made up his mind to go to the old classmates to play for a few days, and by the way, give the wedding gift money to others.

The classmate’s name was Dai Meng, and he shared a dormitory with Xi Feng when he was in college. Until he graduated from university, when Dai Meng left the city, he did not have a girlfriend. After that, he occasionally contacted Xi Feng and never mentioned it. Somehow he moved quickly and suddenly he was about to get married.

Xi Feng flew over, and Dai Meng drove to the airport to pick him up.

Seeing Dai Meng's car, Xi Feng sighed, "The kid did a good job."

Dai Meng said: "I bought it with a loan. In order to take my son to and from school, the car loan and housing loan add up to run out of money every month, and I have to rely on my wife for food."

Xi Feng was stunned. "You have all your sons? Didn't you just get married? Fengzi gets married?" Isn't that too fast? Fengzi got married only after his son had studied. It's not justified.

Dai Meng smiled while driving, and said, "I'll tell you first, don't make a fuss when I go back later."

Listening to his tone, Xi Feng felt that this might not be so simple.

Sure enough, Dai Meng said, "The son belongs to my wife and her ex-husband. He is already in elementary school."

After being quiet in the carriage for a while, Xi Feng couldn't help but ask: "What year is your wife?"

Dai Meng said: "In '83, my son is seven years old."

Xi Feng and Dai Meng are from the same year. It has only been three years since they graduated from university. They are only 25 years old now, but Dai Meng’s wife is already thirty-two years old.

This age difference made Xi Feng suddenly think of He Yunsheng.

But apart from the age difference, what surprised Xi Feng most was that Dai Meng found a divorced woman with a child. He felt that with Dai Meng's terms, he could find a better woman.

"Is there no objection in your family?" Xi Feng couldn't help asking.

Dai Meng smiled, a little bitter, "Of course I object, but I am very determined."

When Xi Feng heard this answer, he asked in a daze, "Why?"

"Why?" Dai Meng seemed to think this question was a little ridiculous, "Because I love her."

Dinner was eaten at Dai Meng’s house that day, and Xi Feng saw Dai Meng’s wife. The thirty-two-year-old woman is well maintained, beautiful and gentle, and her son is seven years old, and looks very cute and obedient.

Others think it is strange that a 25-year-old man with a good appearance and family background and a good job finds a woman whose divorced son is seven years old, but in this family, they themselves feel very happy.

In the evening, Dai Meng stayed at Xi Feng and stayed at home, but Xi Feng didn't feel embarrassed to disturb them, so he went outside to stay in the hotel.

Lying on the big hotel bed, Xi Feng stared at the phone for a long time. He called He Yunsheng for the first time in so many days, but the other party's phone turned off.

Xi Feng raised his hand to cover his face, his breath was full of exhaustion. He is so uncomfortable with this state of mind.

After spending a few days in this city, Dai Meng accompanied him to play around, and two of them went for a drink one night.

After drinking a little too much, Dai Meng confided and told Xi Feng how difficult it was after being with his wife.

"At that time, my parents prepared all the money for buying the house, but they took it all back to force me to follow her. As a result, part of the money for buying the house is still used by my wife," Dai Meng finished, and picked it up. The wine glass took a sip of beer.

Xi Feng shook the golden beer in the cup, wiped the water mist from the cup with his fingers, and said, "Your parents also hope that you will have a good life. Since they are so opposed, you must insist on whether you are a little unfilial."

Dai Meng looked at Xi Feng and shook his head, "They want me to be good, but I only know what a good life is. Either marrying a young woman will just live a good life, if I can’t be with the one I love Together, how can it be possible to be happy? The parents' original intention is good, but the problem is that their ideas are wrong."

Xi Feng looked at the cup, "But they will be sad."

Dai Meng said: "Then I should let them know that I am happy. I will still be filial to them and let them know how well our family is living. One day they are gone, and I will be completely happy in this world. Family, they don’t need to worry about me."

Xi Feng's expression was still blank.

Dai Meng said to him: "People who love you want you to have a good life, but everyone has a different definition of a good life. How to say this is like people drinking water, just like others say that the weather is bad. What kind of cold beer can you drink when it's cold, but only you know how refreshing a cold beer is!"

After speaking, Dai Meng raised his glass and touched him.

Xi Feng took a sip of wine and asked, "Can you be sure that you will be happy in the future?"

Dai Meng laughed when he heard the words, "Who is sure that you will be happy in the future? You may marry a Bai Fumei and you might be cheating on your bankrupt wife someday. If you don't even dare to pursue happiness now, don't talk about happiness in this life. Because you may never realize what happiness is."

Hearing Dai Meng's words, Xi Feng suddenly felt as if someone had poured cold water on his face, and he gradually became awake while he was startled.

What is a good life? If he doesn't even dare to pursue the one he loves, then no matter how smooth life is in the future, he might not know if it is really good.

That night, Xi Feng lay in bed tossing all night. When he made up his mind, the things that had been weighing down on his heart became lighter. He even began to imagine some illusory futures, and he was sweet and happy for those that were not clear at all.

At the end of the seven-day holiday, Xi Feng still did not see He Yunsheng the first day he went back to work.

He made a special trip to the personnel department to inquire about He Yunsheng's leave date. He Yunsheng still has three days off his annual vacation. He will not return to work until the end of the three-day vacation.

On the weekend when He Yunsheng was about to go to work, Xi Feng went to the market to buy cob bones. He returned home and called his mother to ask how to stew bone soup.

He doesn't know how to cook food, all the preparations are bought right now, he called and asked about the recipes on the Internet, and he simmered them in the refrigerator after having been busy in the kitchen for most of the day.

The next day, he got up early again, boiled the soup, put it in a newly bought thermos, and took it to the company.

In the morning, Xi Feng called the Finance Department and asked if the person over there He Yunsheng had come back to work. After getting the affirmative answer, he hung up the phone contentedly.

When it was time for lunch at noon, Xi Feng hurried to press the elevator with the thermos bucket. He was afraid that He Yunsheng would leave when he was late.

Colleagues expressed strangeness about his retrograde behavior during the peak meal period, but Xi Feng was not in the mood to explain. He pressed the phone anxiously, fearing that he would miss it with He Yunsheng.

As a result, he was lucky. When he arrived at He Yunsheng's office, the rest of the finance department went to dinner, but He Yunsheng stayed in his small office and looked through the documents.

Hearing someone coming in, He Yunsheng looked up, and after seeing that it was Xi Feng, he put down the thing in his hand and asked him, "Is there something wrong?"

Xi Feng put the thermos barrel on the table and did not ask He Yunsheng where he had been during this period of time. He just asked, "Is the injury on his hand better?"

He Yunsheng touched his right wrist. It was no longer as uncomfortable as it was at the beginning, and he no longer dared not move at all, but he didn't dare to use force.

"I'm fine," He Yunsheng said to Xi Feng.

Xi Feng opened the thermos barrel by himself, and the bone soup inside was still steaming. He said, "I will stew some bone soup for you. You can drink it before you go to dinner."

He Yunsheng looked at him blankly. If someone else came to deliver the soup, he might be embarrassed to refuse, but if the object was Xi Feng, he would definitely not accept it.

"No need," He Yunsheng said in a deep voice.
