Divorced

When Chen Yuchuan walked out of the concert hall by himself, he took out his mobile phone in his pocket and checked, it was half past ten.

He was about to press the lock screen button when his fingers suddenly loosened, staring at the screen saver photo on his phone.

Maybe it's because he got used to it for too long, Chen Yuchuan forgot, he hasn't changed the screen saver photo yet.

It is still the group photo of him and Lu Yang, which he took casually.

Chen Yuchuan counted the time, it was about seven or eight years ago, and he couldn't remember exactly when.

I just remember that it was a very ordinary morning. The night before yesterday, Lu Yang had a party and drank too much, so he asked him to pick him up after the end.

When the two got off the bus, there was a little awkwardness, because Chen Yuchuan didn't immediately help Lu Yang who was drunk when he got off the bus.

Lu Yang is different from Chen Yuchuan. Chen Yuchuan drank too much and became noisy and jumpy. Lu Yang drank too much and seldom talked, but his temper was like a sullen child. The bed has to be coaxed, everything has to be coaxed.

When Lu Yang went upstairs, he was still angry with Chen Yuchuan. Chen Yuchuan stretched out his hand twice and was thrown away by Lu Yang.

Chen Yuchuan was also on fire. He grabbed Lu Yang's arm and hugged him halfway. In the end, Lu Yang stood on a step on the second floor and didn't move at all. Chen Yuchuan still coaxed him, and went up one step at a time. go.

The next day, Lu Yang rarely woke up later than Chen Yuchuan, with his shoulders exposed and the quilt over his chest. When he woke up, he squinted at the camera and was a little unhappy.

Chen Yuchuan held up his mobile phone, bumped his shoulder against him, and said, "Husband, laugh, I will take a group photo as a mobile phone screensaver, and a background picture of our chat."

Lu Yang didn't smile, but he also looked at the screen very seriously. Chen Yuchuan tilted his head and leaned on his shoulder, grinned at the camera, stretched out his index and middle fingers, and compared the camera very well.

Chen Yuchuan frowned at the screen saver photo, and after unlocking it, he rummaged through the album.

But there are almost no photos in his album that can be used as screensavers, and he doesn't take pictures very much himself. Basically, they are only photos of him and Lu Yang, or a single photo of Lu Yang, and some pictures of work sent by the company's employees.

He searched from the beginning to the end, and couldn't find a replacement.

Chen Yuchuan decided to give up, exited the album, turned off the screen, put the phone in his trouser pocket, and took out the cigarette case and lighter from the pocket.

The weather forecast said that there will be cold air, and the temperature has indeed dropped a lot in the past two days. There are thick and low black clouds all day long, and the cold wind is also strong.

Chen Yuchuan put on a coat and wore a long camel windbreaker with a cigarette in his mouth, and walked to the stone pillar beside the hall to block the wind.

He leaned on the stone pillar with his back, and threw the back of his hands to block the flame of the lighter that was blown by the wind and lit the cigarette.

Chen Yuchuan just took two sips when he heard someone calling him next to him.

"Brother Chuan, you are here, I was asking my assistant to find you just now."

Chen Yuchuan raised his head and called him Hua Song. With a cigarette between his fingers, he stretched out his other hand to shake Hua Song and said, "Tonight's concert was a success, congratulations."

Hua Song is not very old. Chen Yuchuan heard Man Yunxin say that he was just 28 this year. He was still wearing the black tuxedo he wore during the performance, and he was still holding the flowers that Chen Yuchuan just gave in his arms.

"Thank you Brother Chuan," Hua Song looked down at the flowers in his arms and said, "Thank you Brother Chuan for sending me flowers."

After Hua Song finished speaking, he asked, "By the way, did Brother Chuan come by himself tonight? I heard from the teacher that you would come with Brother Yang."

"He's on a business trip." Chen Yuchuan said.

"Brother Chuan is going back? Shall I take you?" Hua Song said, and made a gesture of invitation to Chen Yuchuan, "My car is parked in the parking lot over there."

Chen Yuchuan waved his hand holding the cigarette butt, and said, "Don't bother, don't bother, your concert has just ended, and there should be a lot of things to do. I'll drive by myself."

Hua Song withdrew his hand, said hello regretfully, and said with a smile, "When will Brother Chuan have time, I'll invite you again... Please eat with Brother Yang."

Chen Yuchuan responded casually, "Wait when you have time."

After he finished speaking, he wrapped his collar, said hello to Hua Song, and turned to the parking lot.

As soon as Chen Yuchuan opened the car door and sat in, the phone in his pocket rang. Chen Yuchuan took it out and saw that it was the phone of Xiaolei, the driver of Luyang.

Chen Yuchuan hesitated for a few seconds, but still pressed the answer button, said "hello" to the phone, and asked, "Xiao Lei, what's the matter?"

There was a lot of noise over the phone. There were whistles and loud noises. No one spoke. Chen Yuchuan asked again, "Xiao Lei?"

"Sister-in-law, it's me." This time Xiaolei responded, and his voice seemed a little small under the noisy background sound.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yuchuan asked.

Xiaolei replied: "Sister-in-law, my boss and I were blocked on the expressway. There was a serial traffic accident ahead, and the expressway back home was blocked. I'm afraid that you are worried about the boss, so I'll give you a call and let you know."

"You don't need to call me, I don't care." Chen Yuchuan set the car on fire, holding the steering wheel without moving.

As soon as Xiao Lei heard Chen Yuchuan's words, he looked up in the rearview mirror and looked at Lu Yang who was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed, and knew that something was wrong with the two of them.

Xiaolei quickly said, "The boss was socializing today, drank a lot of alcohol, and fell asleep in the back row."

Chen Yuchuan held the phone for a few seconds without speaking, and then hung up directly.

Xiao Lei thought that Chen Yuchuan would care about a few words, but he didn't. Looking at the phone that hung up suddenly, he looked at the boss sitting in the back row in the rearview mirror, this time facing Lu Yang's half-open eyes.

"Who asked you to call?" Lu Yang asked in a deep voice.

Xiaolei replied, "Boss, I'm afraid my sister-in-law will worry about you."

Lu Yang closed his eyes again and asked vaguely, "What did he say?"

"He said..." Xiaolei thought of Chen Yuchuan's words, but did not convey the original words, "sister-in-law said, let me send you home safely."

Lu Yang's eyes were a little red after drinking, and they were sore and swollen after opening for a while. He closed his eyelids again, and asked in obvious disbelief, "Did he say that?"

Xiaolei nodded: "Yes, that's what I said."

"Aren't you angry?" Lu Yang asked.

Xiao Lei was stunned by the question from the boss. The tone of Chen Yuchuan's phone call just now was obviously fiery, and he could tell when he heard it.

But he listened to the boss now, as if he was expecting his daughter-in-law to be angry.

Xiao Lei couldn't figure it out. He didn't know how to answer it. Lu Yang didn't continue to ask questions. He closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.

It was after twelve o'clock when Chen Yuchuan got home. When he just drove back, he got on the wrong elevated highway. It took him a long time to realize it. When he realized that he wanted to turn around and come back, the car was almost driving on the Huancheng Expressway. .

Finally, the car ran out of gas, and he went to refuel before driving back.

But when he opened the door, he was still a little puzzled. Fatty didn't wait for him. He didn't hear Fatty's screams or scratches at the door, but he quickly realized that there was someone at home, and he was familiar with him.

Sure enough, he opened the door, the light in the living room was on, and Fatty was already asleep in the nest.

Lu Yang was lying on his side on the sofa, and Xiao Lei was sitting on the single sofa next to him, leaning his head back on the chair, snoring with his mouth open.

Xiao Lei hadn't slept too much, but when he heard the sound of the door opening and footsteps, he woke up first, and when he saw Chen Yuchuan came back, he stood up and rubbed his eyes.

"Sister-in-law, you are back."

Chen Yuchuan took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, half of his clothes covering Lu Yang's calf.

He took two steps to the sofa with his hips on his back, glanced at Lu Yang who was still asleep, turned his head and asked Xiaolei, "Why did you send Lu Yang here?"

Xiaolei was still dizzy and didn't know what was wrong, and said, "Sister-in-law, the boss drank too much. I got off the expressway and sent it to my house directly. I won't send you here, where will I send it?"

Chen Yuchuan saw that Xiaolei still hadn't woken up, he bared his teeth in anger, his chest floated and gasped, and finally he waved at Xiaolei and said, "It's alright, it's getting late, you Also hurry home and rest, your wife and children are still waiting at home."

Xiaolei heard Chen Yuchuan's words, didn't wait for a second, raised his legs and ran away. Before leaving, he said, "sister-in-law, the boss has a meeting tomorrow morning, and I will come to pick him up in the morning."

Chen Yuchuan just wanted to say "don't come to pick me up", but before he could say anything, Xiao Lei had already left the door, and the door was closed, and no one could be seen.

"It's a pity to be a driver at your speed." Chen Yuchuan muttered while looking at the closed door.

Chen Yuchuan didn't change his shoes, and walked around the sofa for several times. The heels of the leather shoes hit the wooden floor, making a rattling sound, especially at night.

Chen Yuchuan was tired from walking. Standing beside the sofa, he lifted his leg and kicked Lu Yang's calf with the toe of his shoe, calling him loudly: "Lu Yang, Lu Yang, don't sleep, get up for me quickly."

Lu Yang was kicked by Chen Yuchuan and turned over, but he didn't wake up. Originally lying on his side facing the sofa, he turned into lying on the sofa, raising his hand to his forehead and eyes.

The coat over his calf slid down a little, and a large corner of it fell on the floor, but the coat didn't fall off.

Seeing that he was still awake, Chen Yuchuan bent down and shook his legs with force. He raised his voice and shouted, "Lu Yang, get up, this is my house. If you want to sleep, go back to your own house and sleep."

Lu Yang covered his eyes with his arms, only his lips and chin were exposed. Chen Yuchuan saw Lu Yang's chin tense and thought he was awake.

Chen Yuchuan straightened his waist and took two steps to the side. Just as he was about to let Lu Yang go after he woke up, he saw that Lu Yang's other arm was covering his chest, his chin was still tense, but he didn't wake up.

Chen Yuchuan was discouraged all of a sudden, and he stopped shouting and urging, standing beside him for a while and then slowed down.

Lu Yang was too tall. Although the sofa was not small, he had to sleep with his legs bent. He took off his shoes and wore only socks.

Chen Yuchuan guessed that Xiaolei took off the shoes for Lu Yang.

Chen Yuchuan stopped reading after watching it for a while, went into the bathroom to take a shower, and went back to the bedroom to sleep.

Chen Yuchuan had not been able to fall asleep, and the sound of his breathing when he turned over was louder than the rustling of the fabric.

Until more than three o'clock, Chen Yuchuan heard a little noise in the living room, first the sound of walking on the floor with bare feet, then the refrigerator door was opened and closed, after a few seconds, the sound of twisting the bottle cap, and then again. It was the sound of light footsteps stepping on the floor with bare feet.

Chen Yuchuan kicked the quilt off his body, jumped off the bed, opened the door, stood at the door with his arms folded, and glanced at the living room.

Lu Yang was sitting on the sofa, drinking from a bottle of ice water in his hand. The water in the bottle had gone down to half the height of the bottle, and he was looking back at him.

Chen Yuchuan waited for him to put down the water bottle, and asked, "Mr. Lu, is my sofa comfortable to sleep on?"

Lu Yang moved his stiff neck, obviously not feeling well. He didn't speak, just looked at him.

Chen Yuchuan asked again, "Do you remember how you got here?"

"Xiao Lei sent me here." Lu Yang said.

"Remember," Chen Yuchuan took two steps into the living room, "Remember, you still ran to my house?"

"Xiao Lei didn't know that we were divorced yet, so he sent me over directly," Lu Yang grabbed his tie and loosened it a little, stood up and said, "I'm here to find a document."

Lu Yang swept around the house and said, "My things seem to be missing. I want to ask you when you come back, and finally fell asleep."

Chen Yuchuan thought for a while. He didn't remember what documents were in the things he put away. He said, "Don't be so assertive. The marriage is divorced. Why do I keep your things?"

"The documents are very important. I'll leave as soon as I find them," Lu Yang added, and asked again, "You threw all my things away?"

This time, Chen Yuchuan ran directly to the sofa and stood in front of Lu Yang, frowning, "I said no documents means no documents, divorce, others don't know, don't you know yourself?"

Lu Yang let go of his tie, "I know, always know."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out, put on his shoes and stood in the hallway of the entrance, then turned his head and said, "I will pick up Chubby on the weekend, and I will make an appointment with you in advance to pick you up. The family dinner next weekend is because I promised my parents. , I promise it will be the last time, and then I will find a suitable opportunity to tell my parents and friends that things like tonight will never happen again."

"It's better not to happen, Mr. Lu..."

"Did you go to the concert?" Lu Yang asked suddenly.

Chen Yuchuan didn't answer, his eyes were fierce. He watched the concert by himself, the fire in his heart was all in his eyes, and he wanted to burn Lu Yang.

Lu Yang went on to say, "I couldn't go to the concert at night because I was stuck on the expressway. I sent you WeChat, but you blocked me."

Chen Yuchuan just remembered that he blocked Lu Yang's phone and WeChat two days ago.

After Lu Yang finished speaking, he kept looking at Chen Yuchuan who was standing in the living room. The ice water he just drank washed away the dryness on the base of his tongue.

He was very serious when he looked at Chen Yuchuan with red eyes after drinking, and was serious enough to make people fall straight into it with unsteady legs.

Lu Yang pulled his tie again and said slowly, "Xiao Chuan'er, I was still thinking, I have been with a person for 16 years and suddenly separated, what will I become, what will you become? In this way, now I suddenly feel, divorced, it seems, it is right... You are the same as before, you are fierce when you are angry, unlike the previous six months, where you let me everywhere, endured me, I looked at it all. tired… "

After listening to Lu Yang's words, Chen Yuchuan's eyes that were filled with fire suddenly dispersed, his eyes were not anxious, he looked at Lu Yang, not like he was looking at him, and could not quickly understand the meaning of Lu Yang's words.

Lu Yang didn't wait for Chen Yuchuan to speak, then turned around and left.
