At the age of 31, Li Jincheng successfully graduated from that school abroad.
Although he was a little dissatisfied with his behavior of studying comparative literature, which was an inexplicable major, through Song Liubai's matchmaking, Li Jincheng finally returned to his alma mater to continue teaching.
But his life has changed a lot. He no longer has to accompany Song Liubai on frequent trips abroad, and he no longer has to worry about whether one of his students will stay up at night.
He only needs to prepare lessons, attend classes, correct their papers at the end of the semester, and then give them enough credits.
The school seems to be a place that will never be corroded by time. It was like this ten years ago, and it still remains the same ten years later.
Or maybe it's just because it's full of energetic students.
Li Jincheng's mentality is young because of this environment.
But not everyone will be happy about this. Although they were happy with Li Jincheng's simple and pure appearance at first glance, one day he learned that he was very popular in school and saw him walking out surrounded by a large number of students. At the grand scene at the school gate, He Zhenxuan was quickly controlled by the negative emotions in his heart.
He didn't know if the deeper he loved someone, the more humble he would put himself in.
In his heart, Li Jincheng has outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament. Although he is not loved by everyone, he is indeed easy to like.
In addition, college students are the most enthusiastic. If one of them is obsessed with Li Jincheng to death, he will take the initiative...
Once Li Jincheng opened the car door and got in, he felt an obvious and depressed atmosphere in the car.
He Zhenxuan rarely expressed his thoughts on his face, so Li Jincheng didn't pay much attention at that time.
But gradually, he noticed some clues from other places.
For example, even though the company had something to do, He Zhenxuan still insisted on taking him home. After sending him home, he drove to the company.
Another example is that recently, He Zhenxuan always pretends to be casual and says that you are so tired at work, but it is not bad to stay at home, or maybe there is a position in our company that is suitable for you.
All in all, either stay at home and don't go out to meet people, or live under his surveillance.
This man's terrifying possessiveness is like a woman's aunt, who always appears on time every once in a while.
Li Jincheng sneered inwardly. When he couldn't bear it anymore, he simply threw a lot of gossip magazines in front of He Zhenxuan and said, "What is this?"
Thinking of the origin of this pile of magazines, Li Jincheng also had a dumbfounded expression on his face.
At that time, he had just returned from his studies. At the He family's regular dinner party, Xiao Peiting pulled him to a side hall with a cautious look, followed closely by Shi Yinlan and He Qixuan, who looked embarrassed.
Just when Li Jincheng was confused, Xiao Peiting took out the pile of magazines and said earnestly: "Jincheng, we all know that Zhenxuan loves you very much, but he is also a businessman and usually socializes a lot... plus his status status, some unscrupulous reporters want to use him to stimulate magazine sales, but these... "
After saying that, she patted the pile of magazines on the table and said, "They are all fake. Just forget it after reading it. Don't get into any trouble with Zhenxuan over this."
On the table are some of the most famous gossip magazines in Hong Kong. They usually like to portray unpopular little stars as superstars, and then involve them with the so-called wealthy families or business tycoons from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Li Jincheng is keen on gossip and knows that the relationship between the two parties is mutually beneficial. Sometimes, even if necessary, these artists will quietly perform some ambiguous actions for the paparazzi to capture.
Although he thought so and knew that Xiao Peiting and the others were worried about him, when Li Jincheng saw the three women opposite him looking at him solemnly, his heart collapsed.
He thinks that I am not a woman, and I am not as complicated and sensitive as you think. Also, can you please stop applying your own thinking patterns to me
"Jincheng..."
Seeing Li Jincheng looking at him uncertainly, He Zhenxuan felt as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"explain."
"These are all fake, I..."
As he spoke, he swallowed nervously.
He Zhenxuan has the typical characteristics of all engineering men. When it comes to work, they behave with ease, but once things involve emotions, they will be clumsy and their reactions will seem to be slower than half a beat.
"Should I trust you?"
"should."
"The answer is so straightforward, He Zhenxuan, I have said this to you, but what did you say at the time?"
He Zhenxuan's expression was full of confusion, knowing that he must have forgotten. Li Jincheng sneered and said word for word: "When Zhang Liangyu patted me on the shoulder the day before yesterday, and when Xu Tingting called me on my mobile phone yesterday, not to mention... they are still my students. …”
"Jincheng, I..."
As if he didn't know how to explain it, Li Jincheng didn't bother to talk nonsense with him. He glanced at the double bed next to him and then said, "Go and lie down on it."
Only after comparison did he realize that he had really gone too far. He Zhenxuan always corrected his mistakes, and because of the guilt in his heart, as soon as Li Jincheng finished speaking, he immediately ran to the bed and lay down.
It was already winter, and Li Jincheng hadn't had time to take the tie around his neck. Thinking that it was just right, he took off his tie and tied He Zhenxuan's hands to the bedside.
Staring motionlessly while taking off his tie, he was already extremely sexy. Unfortunately, He Zhenxuan's hands had just moved unconsciously, and Li Jincheng had already leaned over to suppress his hands.
"He Zhenxuan, you can only move if I ask you to. Otherwise... for the next month, I think it would be better for us to sleep separately."
The lights in the room were not turned off. As he spoke, Li Jincheng showed a smile that was mixed with coquettishness and innocence.
This night Li Jincheng tried his best to tease and tease, but because He Zhenxuan could not move, he finally made his eyes red and cold sweat kept falling on his forehead.
Although he finally got Li Jincheng as he wished, since then, Li Jincheng has not seen a photo of him in this type of magazine.
Deliberately asking people to withhold those photos, or staying away from those artists as soon as they saw them, but no matter what, Li Jincheng finally achieved what he wanted.
Several women in the He family were always paying attention to He Zhenxuan's movements, so at the next gathering, they immediately asked him why.
Among them, He Qixuan is the most important.
Hearing He Qixuan ask himself, Li Jincheng sneered and said, "If you can't coax me, try something harder."
"for example?"
Li Jincheng choked on his own saliva and laughed twice before dryly saying: "Kneel on the keyboard."
He said this casually, but when he finished, Xiao Peiting and the others immediately looked at him with admiring eyes.
Li Jincheng…
Li Jincheng originally thought that the matter was over here, but afterwards, He Qixuan took his hand and said seriously: "How can I capture a man's heart?"
He Qixuan got married last year. Although her husband claimed to be a painter, Li Jincheng felt that he was more like a love interest.
But Shi Yinlan said that the most important thing is that her daughter is happy, and their family can afford to support this person, so Li Jincheng and He Zhenxuan can't say much.
He Qixuan felt unreasonably close to Li Jincheng. When he heard her ask him, Li Jincheng thought for a while and then said: "You must be generous and confident in front of him, and you must always show your feminine charm."
"Feminine charm? Then Jincheng, can you accompany me to buy underwear tomorrow?"
Li Jincheng's views were shattered time and time again by these women from the He family. After saying that the clerk would think I was a pervert and you'd better go find your friends, he hurriedly tried to break free from He Qixuan's hand.
"Jincheng, what happened?"
He Qixuan's fear of He Zhenxuan never disappeared. When she saw him holding Li Jincheng in his arms and looking at her with a slightly wary look, she immediately turned back to look for her husband, pretending to be calm.
On the way back, Li Jincheng told He Zhenxuan the whole story. He Zhenxuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This was the first time that He Zhenxuan had laughed so wildly since they had known each other for so many years. Li Jincheng was so angry that he grabbed the inside of He Zhenxuan's thigh. When he cried out in pain, he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think this is... Whose fault?”
With a suppressed smile on his face, seeing that Li Jincheng still wanted to take action, He Zhenxuan immediately held his hand and said, "Obey, I'm driving. If anything happens, let's talk about it when we get back."
The He family is rich in freaks, this is the only thing Li Jincheng can think of when looking at He Zhenxuan bitterly.
Li Jincheng goes to see Liao Changyuan every year.
Maybe it was because his original behavior shocked him so much that to this day, Li Jincheng still can't forget him.
When I go there, I usually meet Guan Zibiao.
At first he was a lonely person, but in the past two years, a little boy began to appear next to him.
He is six or seven years old, and his facial features are very similar to those of Liao Changyuan when he was young.
Later, Li Jincheng found out that he was indeed Liao Changyuan's son, but he was now adopted by Guan Zibiao.
Guan Zibiao had a close relationship with him. The last time Li Jincheng saw him, he had a wicked smile on his face and pointed at the photo of Liao Changyuan on the tombstone to ask the little boy to call him mom. Li Jincheng was extremely speechless at that time.
"Still not planning to find another one?"
Guan Zibiao smiled, pointed at his heart and said, "He is in it, and there is no room for anyone else."
"not lonely?"
"He's always there for me when I miss him."
After coming out of the cemetery, the sunlight above his head was extremely dazzling. As he watched Guan Zibiao carrying Liao Yuanyuan's sleeping son towards his car, and then gently placing him on the child's seat, Li Jincheng soon felt the light coming from the tip of his nose. It came with a sour taste.
At that time, he was thinking, Liao Changyuan, I really really hope that we can meet again in the next life.
When I told He Zhenxuan about this when I went back, He Zhenxuan also had a look of emotion on his face. In the end, he just hugged Li Jincheng and whispered: "We have better luck than them."
Yes, it is not an easy thing to meet someone you like, let alone that they can stay together for a long time.
The next day was the weekend. Li Jincheng was woken up by the ringtone of his cell phone early in the morning. He heard Xiao Peiting's voice. Because he didn't wake up, he answered a few times in a daze and hung up the phone in his hand.
He Zhenxuan rested with him at home as usual that day. Because of his biological clock and habit of getting up early, he had no sleepiness at this time, but because of what happened in the past, he was grateful that Li Jincheng could still appear in front of him alive. , so even if he was allowed to stare at Li Jincheng motionless for an hour or two, he would not feel bored at all.
After finally waiting until he felt sleepy, Li Jincheng's cell phone rang again.
This time it was He Ningran who called. Hearing him ask himself, Li Jincheng answered vaguely, saying, "Sister Pei Ting went to see Sister Lan Hui."
After hanging up the phone and lying quietly on the bed for two seconds, Li Jincheng jumped up and kept shouting that he was dead, now he was dead.
"What's wrong?"
After calling Xiao Peiting, Li Jincheng explained to him.
Recently, He Ningran felt that he was getting old and could no longer play, so he began to watch over Xiao Peiting eagerly every day.
Xiao Peiting is also a person who is used to freedom. Being treated like this by He Ningran will only make her feel miserable.
He Ningran didn't trust her group of friends. The only person he trusted was Li Jincheng, so Li Jincheng agreed to cover for her.
"But now..."
Seeing Li Jincheng looking like he was about to fall apart, He Zhenxuan suppressed his laughter and pushed him down on the bed, saying, "Don't worry, I will cover for Third Aunt next time."
"The question is, does she dare?"
Unfortunately, before Li Jincheng finished speaking, He Zhenxuan kissed him.
After that, just as Li Jincheng expected, Xiao Peiting did not dare to let He Zhenxuan cover for her. At the same time, He Ningran often looked at him with an expression that was half-smiling but not smiling.
Li Jincheng could not withstand such pressure, and finally had to find excuses not to attend the He family's family gathering.
Later, He Zongtong found out about this matter. He scolded the two of them, and a group of people called Li Jincheng one after another, and the matter was finally revealed.
When Li Jincheng was 37 years old, He Zhenxuan accompanied him to challenge all the extreme sports he wanted to challenge. During the summer vacation of this year, the two of them went to the small European country where Li Yaozu and Song Wanru are now.
Li Yaozu originally had a high level of education and was very smart, so when they met again, he could already speak the language of that country fluently.
He and Song Wanru opened a noodle shop in a small town near the nursing home. The first floor was used for a shop and the second floor was used for living. Many colorful flowers were planted on the balcony, and the noodle shop's business was pretty good.
Song Wanru looked like a normal person, but her health was not good. As soon as it got dark at night, she said good night to Li Jincheng and He Zhenxuan, and then Li Yaozu took them to an outdoor cafe to drink coffee.
Probably because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, what the other person said was new to their ears, so it wasn't until late at night that the three of them realized that a long time had passed.
"Jincheng."
Opposite him, Li Yaozu looked solemn. Li Jincheng was thinking something bad. Then, he heard Li Yaozu ask him, "Tell me the truth, has something happened to Jiajun?"
Li Jincheng wanted to answer his question, but Li Yaozu misunderstood what he meant. He shook his head and said, "I recognize Jia Jun's handwriting. The postcards he has sent from all over the world in the past few years are actually the ones you found." Was it sent by someone else?"
Li Jincheng had never known such a thing. After hearing what he said, he turned his head, and He Zhenxuan gave him an apologetic smile.
Obviously thinking about himself, Li Jincheng held his hand tightly and explained to Li Yaozu at the same time.
"Why is this child so confused?"
One thought was heaven, the other thought was hell, but everyone else was already dead, so it would be useless to talk about it.
"Does Song Wanru know about this?"
"She has bad eyesight, so I have been reading the postcards for her."
"How long are you going to keep this secret from her?"
"If you can...for a lifetime."
Li Jincheng nodded and was about to leave with He Zhenxuan when Li Yaozu stopped him again and said, "If you are free in the future, come here to see me more often. I am getting old now and I probably don't have a few more years to live."
His tone was calm but full of sadness. Thinking that he and Song Wanru, who was in poor health, were now dependent on each other, Li Jincheng nodded.
There is a saying that things are impermanent. Not long after Li Jincheng and He Zhenxuan returned to Hong Kong Island, Sister Fang passed away.
Her death was a natural death. As she got older, the organs in her body gradually failed. Li Jincheng went to her room to call her that morning, thinking that she had just accidentally overslept.
On the day of Sister Fang's funeral, Li Jincheng locked himself in the study. He Zhenxuan was worried and never left the door of the study.
It wasn't until early in the morning that He Zhenxuan tried to twist the door handle again, only to find that the door had been opened by Li Jincheng from the inside.
This was a sign that he was finally willing to talk to himself.
"Jincheng?"
Li Jincheng was lying on the desk, looking like the kids in the class who didn't get enough sleep when he was a child, but He Zhenxuan knew that it was because he had cried hard and didn't want to see him in such a mess.
He Zhenxuan walked over quietly, and when he put his hand on Li Jincheng's shoulder, Li Jincheng had already hugged his waist and buried his face there.
"He Zhenxuan, you can't die earlier than me."
He Zhenxuan's expression softened due to his words. After smoothing Li Jincheng's hair over and over again, he said with a slight smile: "Definitely."
By the time He Zhenxuan truly retired, he was almost fifty years old. Although he had said that he wanted to travel around the world, within a week of the two of them boarding the cruise ship sailing around the Pacific, they abandoned the ship and bought air tickets and hurried back to Hong Kong.
Li Jincheng's explanation for this is that he is old and can no longer run. Now it is serious to cultivate his moral character at home.
Although they say so, the two of them take good care of themselves and dress well, so few people can tell their true age.
Now that the two of them are standing together, in the eyes of outsiders, they are still two handsome middle-aged uncles.
He Zhenxuan always followed Li Jincheng's lead. Li Jincheng wanted to cultivate his moral character, so he took his people to a place suitable for self-cultivation.
The new home is located in Repulse Bay. It is only one story high, with a wide lawn in front of the building and a blue swimming pool and garden behind the building. It is neither big nor small. It is suitable for living at home and inviting friends here for gatherings.
But gradually, the lawn in front of him was changed beyond recognition by Li Jincheng.
Because they wanted to eat fresh eggs, they made a chicken coop there. And because they emphasized equality between men and women, they had ten roosters and ten hens each.
The stench of chicken feces made He Zhenxuan unable to open his eyes. Although he thought about having a servant come here to clean, Li Jincheng used the excuse that he didn't like being disturbed by strangers and let He Zhenxuan do everything himself.
He Zhenxuan wore a mask and sunglasses and rinsed the chicken coop with the faucet. He couldn't help but think several times that it was probably because he had spent so little time with Li Jincheng before that he came up with such a novel way to rectify himself.
Li Jincheng's sleep quality was not high. Later, he found it too noisy and had the chickens sent away.
Not long after, Li Jincheng became envious of Tang Bohu's free and easy style, and began to let people plant peach trees in the yard.
Later, he worshiped Tao Yuanming instead, so he had the peach trees in his yard pulled out and planted with chrysanthemums instead.
For more than a year, Li Jincheng kept going back and forth, making He Zhenxuan almost think that he had reached menopause early.
But as always, when the novelty wears off, he calms down again.
That day, after the two of them fed He Zhenxuan's thrush, Li Jincheng's turtle, goldfish, and a golden retriever they both raised together, they heard the exaggerated sound of a sports car engine coming from outside the gate.
There was an identification system on the door, so the two of them didn't have to go out of their way to open the door. Not long after, Ren Yusen, who was about the same height, appearance, and taste as Ren Yuqiao back then, hurried in and said, "Teacher! You must help me this time!"
Li Jincheng and He Zhenxuan looked at each other speechlessly, thinking about it again.
Yam Yusen is now a well-known star in Hong Kong Island. Unfortunately, he is destined not to be just a quiet handsome man like his brother.
To put it bluntly, he is a scandal-mongering machine.
Although he doesn't know whether the scandal is true or not, Li Jincheng can't help but feel sorry for He Haoyin.
He Haoyin's appearance combines all the advantages of her parents, but she has no interest in becoming an artist. Otherwise, her radiant and flawless appearance alone would be enough to fascinate all living beings.
What's even more valuable is that she is also well-educated and has a gentle personality. She is the most outstanding woman Li Jincheng has seen in his two lifetimes.
none of them.
"She really broke up with me this time, but I was wronged!"
"What about before?"
Ren Yusen said nothing, and Li Jincheng couldn't help but sneer.
The two started dating when they were seventeen years old. During this period, Ren Yusen suddenly disappeared and was photographed by reporters with a certain popular actress in his sports car. He Haoyin never said anything about all this.
but now…
Li Jincheng looked at Ren Yusen, who was lying weakly on the table, and said with a bad smile: "Ren Yusen, you are really dead this time."
"Is he and Xiaoxiao really over this time?"
When Ren Yusen left dejectedly, He Zhenxuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"No, it should be said that Xiaoxiao has been waiting for this day for a long time."
"oh?"
"Spoil him little by little, and then hit him with one strike when he is defenseless."
Seeing Li Jincheng's fierce look, He Zhenxuan shook his head speechlessly.
Later, just as Li Jincheng expected, He Haoyin frequently attended various dinner parties on behalf of Rongsheng. She shocked everyone when she appeared. From then on, countless people fell in love with her.
Ren Yusen could bear it at first, but when one day He Haoyin was photographed dating another young talent in the city, he became really anxious.
It was a confession and a proposal, but He Haoyin had been waiting for so many years and was not in a hurry. After almost two years, everyone waited for the news that they were about to get married.
At this time, Ren Yusen had completely become a wife slave.
On the day he received the call, Li Jincheng smiled proudly and said, "How was it? Did I say it right at the time?"
"Yes, yes, everything you said is right."
After saying this, He Zhenxuan couldn't help but leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth.
He once saw a very touching love quote in a book.
He said that because of such-and-such, he felt that his life was not in vain.
Or because of so-and-so, I will not regret that I have been in this world.
For him, Li Jincheng represents this meaning.
