Lin Xiang heard what Shu Jin said, and was so shocked that he almost couldn't control his reaction.

After Shu Jin finished speaking, he put down his chopsticks and drank the drink on the table silently, as if he was just trying to tell the secret.

"Really, really?" Lin Xiang asked in a low voice.

"Yeah." Shu Jin replied.

Lin Xiang digested for a while, and suddenly remembered that he had been in front of Shu Jin the last time he was in the hotel, saying that Sheng Xinghe had lost eight lifetimes of mold, and when Shu Jin said that he had done things that upset Sheng Xinghe. Shamelessly comforted Shu Jin that Sheng Xinghe would definitely forgive him.

When the two things were combined, Lin Xiang was a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I don't know. Don't mind what you said last time."

Shu Jin said it was okay.

But he didn't look like it really didn't matter.

Lin Xiang comforted him and said, "Actually, don't feel so guilty. I think Sheng Xinghe asked you to stay and tell you the old things last time. He must have forgiven you a long time ago. Don't think so much."

Lin Qian didn't want to say too much about other people's complicated things, and after comforting Shu Jin, he quickly opened up another topic.

Seeing the two of them sitting together and still whispering, the colleagues joked that they had gone out and the friendship had grown by leaps and bounds.

"I always thought that Shu Jin was introverted, but that doesn't seem to be the case." A colleague regretted, "I knew I would go out with Shu Jin."

"When Shu Jin first joined the company, she was very cold."

"Yes, I also thought he was not easy to get along with at the time, and then I realized that the child turned out to be an introvert, hahahaha."

"I was said to be introverted, so soft and bullying..."

After the dinner, Lin Xiang and some of his colleagues had to go to the second party. Shu Jin said that he was a little tired and didn't want to go, so everyone did not reluctantly. A colleague who hadn't drunk drove the car over, rolled down the window and asked Shu Jin if he wanted to send him a ride.

Shu Jin pulled up his collar in the cold wind, shrank his neck and said, "No, my house is very close, just for a walk."

After bidding farewell to everyone, Shu Jin stood at the intersection and waited for the red light.

Tears suddenly flowed down like this. He was caught off guard, wiped his eyes, and followed the pedestrians across the zebra crossing.

There was a light rain in the sky without going far.

Shu Jin quickly crossed the streets, crowds, and walked through a deserted square. A child holding a dog cast a curious look at him.

"A lot!" The child scolded the big dog sniffing around, for fear that it would scare passers-by.

It was a snow-white Samoyed, docile and well-behaved.

Shu Jin glanced open, and only lowered his head to pass by.

After half a month, Shu Jin followed the company's arrangement and went on a business trip.

Although the Lunar New Year has not passed yet, the company's New Year work has been scheduled, and Shu Jin has become very busy. Pieces of design drafts passed through his hands, constantly checking details and data, and drinking coffee one cup after another.

Occasionally, Shu Jin was in such a busy schedule for a short period of time. He felt that the event of winning the company's annual meeting award was like a dream. He may have never won an award and never met Sheng Xinghe again.

In late February, the Spring Festival holiday begins.

Shu Jin received a text message from his mother, inviting him to fly to her city for the New Year this year.

The luggage was sorted from the first night of the holiday.

Because he hadn't prepared in advance, Shu Jin couldn't find the new year's goods that he could take with him, so he found out the special product that Lin Xiang bought for him last time.

Someone rang the doorbell.

Shu Jin had not entertained guests in this house, and was a little puzzled when he heard the doorbell ringing.

He guessed that it might be the property. It was closed in the coming year. When he came back from get off work, he saw that the doorknobs of other residents already had the New Year antifreeze kits given by the property.

So he pulled the slippers, with travel-suit toiletries in one hand, and opened the door with the other.

Then was silly on the spot.

Shu Zhaoyuan appeared at his door in the dust, wearing a black down jacket.

The two of them did not speak for nearly half a minute, one by one, until a neighbor passed by, Shu Jin called "Dad" as if he had first awakened from a dream, and then walked away.

As Shu Zhaoyuan walked into the small room, he took off his coat and scarf and threw it on the sofa. "Why is it such a small room? You can't buy a big one."

There is enough heating in the room, and Shu Jin wears only a thin sweater.

The cold wind outside the door poured in, he shivered slightly, then closed the door "I rented it."

Shu Zhaoyuan frowned dissatisfied, "Where is the money I left you?"

Shu Jin "It's all in Kari."

Shu Zhaoyuan was even more dissatisfied. "That's not illegal income, it's the assets I just worked out, otherwise it will be cleaned up early when the investigation is carried out, and you dare not spend it?"

Shu Jin didn't ask when he came out, went to the kitchen to find a cup to pour water, and asked, "Dad, how do you know I live here?"

"I used to know a few friends here. I came here to talk about business with them, so I wanted to come and see you by the way." Shu Zhaoyuan said, "Didn't you say that you were working in that office last time? I didn't have you. I’ll go to your company to ask about my mobile phone number."

The small house is full of clothes and sundries, so still have to go out at first sight.

Shu Zhaoyuan asked, "Where are you going?"

Shu Jin said, "Go to my mother to celebrate the New Year."

Shu Zhaoyuan took a sip of the water, waved his hand and said, "Don't go, I won't go back this year. Let's celebrate the New Year with you."

"Yes." Shu Jin thought for a while, "but it's too small to live, or I'll reserve a room for you outside."

Shu Zhaoyuan turned his head sensitively, keeping his eyes on Shu Jin's face for a long time.

Shu Jin stared at him, and suddenly realized that he was much older, with many wrinkles around his eyes, thinner, and gray hair.

Shu Zhaoyuan asked in a low but severe tone, "Are you still having homosexuality with Sheng Xinghe?"

Shu Jin shook his head, "Don't worry, I live alone."

Shu Zhaoyuan didn't look away, trying to find clues in Shu Jin's expression, exactly the same as "Really?"

Shu Jin said, "Really. I haven't contacted him for many years."

The arrival of Shu Zhaoyuan disrupted Shu Jin's next arrangements.

That night, he still used the bonus red envelope issued by the company to book a room for Shu Zhaoyuan in a good hotel, not far from his residence, and by the way returned the card left by Shu Zhaoyuan to him. Shu Zhaoyuan did not refuse. He does need money now, but he still feels very dissatisfied with the small place where his son lives, saying that he will work hard next year to try to buy Shu Jin a big house in Star City.

It was very late to take Shu Zhaoyuan to eat dinner and take care of everything.

Shu Jin walked home and wanted to call his mother to explain the situation. He took out his mobile phone and realized that he didn't know when it turned off. He was busy packing up his luggage and receiving people throughout the afternoon, possibly by mistake.

After the call was connected, his mother suggested that he settle Shu Zhaoyuan well, and he still flew to spend the New Year with them.

"He has nowhere to go after a reduction of his sentence, and I am embarrassed to return to Yuecheng. He still wants face because of the scenery at the beginning." Mother said, "Although he will definitely not harm you, but you still don't have to do with him, he Now I must be full of my mind all day long thinking about how to make a comeback and it will not affect you badly."

Shu Jin listened quietly.

My mother said, "I was wrong if I was wrong before, but I know him well, and he won't be willing to be ordinary, otherwise he will not deceive, and he has used Xiaosheng for so many years."

When Shu Jin heard this, he gently interrupted, "Mom, I know." He closed his eyes, "How can I say that he is also my father, I'll spend a year with him."

The mother had no choice but to say, "You can take care of it."

Shu Jin asked, "Are you going to be angry?"

Mother smiled and said, "Why, I just miss you a little bit."

After hanging up the phone, Shu Jin saw that his colleague on the last day of the company had sent him two messages.

In the afternoon, my colleague said [Xiao Shujin, how did you shut down today? Just now, your father said that he could not contact you, he came to the company and asked for your address. Remember to turn on the phone. ]

In the evening, my colleague sent another message [Isn't it on? Don’t have anything wrong, don’t scare me, your brother just called the company again and asked for your address. ]

There are two others who care about him. They said that they would come to his house to confirm that he was okay if he didn't reply.

Only when Shu Jin saw the second one, his eyelids twitched.

At this time, he had already walked downstairs, and the street lights were not so bright, illuminating the snow piled up on the roadside a little yellow.

There was a man in a black coat standing there, looking at him from a distance.
