The price of the restaurant is not expensive and the dishes are exquisite. At dinner time, customers come and go, and the surroundings are full of noisy voices. Xi Feng looked at He Yunsheng on the opposite side, and saw that he rolled up his sleeves and folded the napkin beside him, carefully and delicately.
For a moment, Xi Feng felt a little confused.
When he first met him, he didn't think He Yunsheng looked like a woman. At most, he didn't live a rough enough life. Later, when he found out that he was gay, he suddenly realized that the other party's meticulousness was actually a womanish expression. Today, he doesn't think He Yunsheng looks like a woman. As a woman, she is just a gentle and introverted man, neither rough nor like to make do.
Xi Feng had already ordered the food, and when He Yunsheng sat down, he asked the waiter to serve the food.
Cold dishes and hot dishes were served one after another, a total of four dishes and one soup. He Yunsheng looked at the dishes and said, "There are too many."
Xi Feng said: "Not much, I have a good appetite."
For a while, no one moved their chopsticks.
Xi Feng raised his head and looked at He Yunsheng for a while, then said, "Maybe if I take a step back, we can continue to be friends?"
He Yunsheng replied: "I'm afraid it will be very difficult. We can be ordinary colleagues, but we can no longer be friends."
Xi Feng pressed one hand on the edge of the table, couldn't help tightening his fingers, and swallowed the feeling of unwillingness. He has regressed to this point, but in the end the other party is not even willing to be friends with him.
"Go to the branch this time and develop well," He Yunsheng said to him.
Xi Feng thought about it, and picked his words and said: "I have never been to Chongfeng, and I don't know if I can get used to life."
"I've been there," He Yunsheng said, "my mother is over there."
Xi Feng was a little surprised and looked at him.
He Yunsheng's gaze seemed to look into the distance through Xi Feng's body, "I remember I told you that she started a new family after my father passed away, and she is now in Chongfeng City. It's a nice city, maybe You get used to it pretty quickly.”
"Will you visit her often?" Xi Feng couldn't help asking.
He Yunsheng said slowly: "No, her daughter is already in college. If I go there, their family will be embarrassed."
Xi Feng suddenly felt disappointed. He originally thought that He Yunsheng would visit his mother often, so that they might have a chance to meet again.
He Yunsheng didn't know if he had read his mind, but he just said: "So the relationship is like this, after a long time apart, it will fade."
Xi Feng understood this truth in his heart.
He Yunsheng hesitated a little, he wanted to say something to Xi Feng, but he didn't know if it was appropriate to say it, so he fell silent and ate some food first.
Xi Feng thoughtfully scooped up a bowl of soup for him, and then helped him pick up vegetables.
He Yunsheng politely refused, and said to him: "Xi Feng, if you meet a suitable girl after you go there, you can consider it."
Xi Feng was stunned, and asked him: "Do you doubt what I said before?"
He Yunsheng shook his head, "I just hope you don't be stupid, you are straight, don't go further and further down this road, this is a road with no end, and those who take this road will either go back and choose another road , or you can only die of exhaustion on the road.”
Xi Feng knew that He Yunsheng would not turn his head back, but he wanted to accompany him on this road, but the other party refused to accept him. He couldn't help asking: "Why am I still straight? I'm already bent, haven't I?"
He Yunsheng smiled this time, "The body can't deceive people, you still have reactions to women's bodies, right?"
Xi Feng couldn't refute, he thought he might be bisexual.
He Yunsheng said: "As long as you can still accept women, you will always take the road of getting married and having children, so now there is no need to waste your time by detours."
Xi Feng listened quietly, and asked him after a long time: "Are you and your boyfriend happy?"
He Yunsheng looked at him and said, "It's pretty good, I think we can have a chance to reach the end, so you don't have to worry about me, go live your own life."
Xi Feng took a deep breath, lowered his gaze, and said in a deep voice, "I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble for so long."
He Yunsheng smiled, "I wish you good luck in the future."
This was the last meal Xi Feng had with He Yunsheng before he left, and the two of them had no contact until he left.
However, He Yunsheng has always been among Xi Feng's WeChat friends. He Yunsheng never posted on Moments, but when Xi Feng posted it, he knew that He Yunsheng would read it, even though He Yunsheng never replied or liked him.
A new city, a new beginning.
The company gave Xi Feng time to rent the house two days in advance. Housing prices in Chongfeng City were not expensive, so he simply rented the house near the company, a small flat was enough for him to live alone.
In the first three months of his arrival, Xi Feng deeply felt what it means to devote himself wholeheartedly to work. His daily work schedule is very full, and the new leader is also a young man, full of energy, who constantly encourages them. Of course he Every bit of effort has also reaped enough returns.
Different from passing by in the past, Xi Feng really wants to develop his career this time, and he has changed all the bad habits of being sloppy in the past. Whether he is a colleague or a leader, he is highly praised.
Such a high-intensity and busy work leaves him no time to grieve over a broken relationship. Only when he is lying on the bed in the dead of night, he will think of He Yunsheng, but he will soon be overwhelmed by sleepiness and fall into sleep exhausted.
Three months later, the work of the new company began to gradually get on the right track, but Xi Feng was not idle. He still devoted most of his energy to work, and even signed up for a training class during the short weekend to conduct business related training.
Xi Feng himself didn't realize that he is actually quite attractive when he concentrates on his work.
The branch has recruited many new employees here, and many new female colleagues praised Xi Feng for his sense of responsibility, young and handsome, and very popular.
Xi Feng spent his twenty-sixth birthday here alone. He was still working overtime that day. After he got off work, he walked back to rent a house. On the way, he saw a cake shop with a ready-made birthday cake that was not sold. , So with a thought, I bought the cake myself.
Back home, Xi Feng sat on the sofa in the living room and put candles on the cake. The small candles included were not enough for twenty-six, so he only put one candle in the middle. After lighting it, he took a photo with his mobile phone and sent it to Moments, writing Author: A person's twenty-six years old, happy birthday.
After sending out, Xi Feng blew out the candle, cut it off with a knife and ate it and felt tired, so he had to put the rest of the cake back into the box and put it in the refrigerator.
After eating the cake, my mother called him, chatted with him about the current situation, and finally wished him a happy birthday.
After finishing the call, Xi Feng went to take a shower, turned on the TV and lay down on the sofa after the shower, and began to read the messages in Moments.
There were already more than 20 comments under his cake photo, all of which wished him a happy birthday. He flipped through it and suddenly found He Yunsheng's name in the comments. He Yunsheng only left him four words: birthday hapiness.
But at that moment, Xi Feng suddenly hugged his phone and happily turned over on the sofa. He couldn't hold back his excitement, and he was the first to pick out He Yunsheng's comment to reply. He typed a bunch of words, wanting to say that he was alone. Birthdays are very lonely, and I want to say that I am busy with work now, so I have time to celebrate my birthday so late, but I deleted them in the end, leaving only two words: thank you.
After replying, he put the lock screen of the phone aside, grabbed the remote control and pointed it at the TV, and randomly changed the channel for a while. After less than two minutes, he picked up the phone again to watch. The comments in the circle of friends were still increasing, but he After replying that thank you to He Yunsheng, the other party did not reply.
Xi Feng thought in a daze, what else do you want the other party to reply, since he had nothing to say.
It's just that his mood was constantly fluctuating. He raised his hand to cover his face, thinking that all feelings would fade over time, why did it fade so slowly this time? This thick and colorful stroke was directly drawn on his heart. Time poured water on it and slowly slid down. In the end, the stroke remained there, still as gorgeous as new.
After his twenty-sixth birthday, Xi Feng felt a little ready to move again, but the distance was too far away, and it was difficult to achieve what he wanted, and it was difficult for him to judge what he should do, or whether he should do it or not.
It's just that Xi Feng didn't expect that things turned around on a Saturday morning. He stayed up late last night to catch up on a project proposal. When he was sound asleep at 7 o'clock in the morning, he was woken up by the persistent ringing of his mobile phone.
Xi Feng who was woken up was a little unhappy, but he quickly grabbed the phone and saw He Yunsheng's name.
All the drowsiness dissipated in an instant. He sat up at once, and slid down the quilt to reveal his strong upper body. He cleared his throat, connected to the phone and said softly, "Hello? He Yunsheng?"
"It's me," He Yunsheng's hoarse voice sounded, which made Xi Feng feel a little excited, "Did I bother you?" When he spoke, his tone was a little anxious and hasty.
Xi Feng realized that he might have something to do, and quickly replied: "No, what's the matter?"
He Yunsheng said: "I don't know if it's convenient for you to do me a favor. Can you go to Qingya Community on Wutong Road now? My mother is at home alone, and her leg seems to be broken."
Xi Feng immediately grasped the key point, "Is she alone? Can she get up? Do you still have the key?" He had no choice but to call the ambulance and fire brigade to open the door to save the person, or rush there first to take the person to the hospital.
He Yunsheng said: "I should be able to get up but I can't walk. I really can't find anyone else, so I can only call you to trouble you."
Xi Feng replied: "No problem, I will go over right away and call you if there is a situation."
