Chapter 42

After returning from the trip, Li Yichu bought a whole set of introductory French textbooks online. He didn't dare to send them to Liang Xuan's house, so he put them in the office to study during lunch time.

Lu Xin hadn't caught Li Yichu for a long time. He heard that Li Yichu and Liang Xuan had both asked for leave a few days ago, so he knew that the two must have gone together.He didn't know when they saw each other, but he was even more shocked that his old friend who had known him for many years turned out to be gay.Once a person knows something new, he likes to think wildly. He recalled the years when he and Li Yichu rented together. Li Yichu was completely straight to him.Hey, it turns out that he is so ugly, Cheng Xiaonan was wronged.

Taking advantage of the lunch break, Lu Xin groped into Li Yichu's office with a box of strawberries, and handed it to the person who was memorizing words at the desk: "My wife bought it, try it."

Li Yichu raised his head: "What's the matter?"

Lu Xin shook his head.

Li Yichu pushed people away: "Go out if you have nothing to do, I'm endorsing."

Lu Xin thief smiled: "I'm fine, but you have something, report it truthfully."

Li Yichu: "Report what?"

Lu Xin lowered his head, and said angrily, "Are you getting better with Liang Xuan?"

Li Yichu: "..."

Seeing his uncomfortable look, Lu Xin knew that what he expected was right. He really admired this kind of love between men. He thought that he had been chasing Cheng Xiaonan for half a year before he touched his little hand. But look at Li Yichu and Cheng Xiaonan. With Liang Xuan's efficiency, one minute he was tearing his nose and eyes in the office, and the next minute he was living together!

Li Yichu changed the subject: "Eat your strawberries, don't gossip."

Lu Xin: "Look at you, you don't treat me as a brother at all, and you don't tell me such a big thing."

Li Yichu snorted: "Is there anything to say, maybe I told you today, and it will collapse tomorrow."

Lu Xin could tell that they were just playing with hormones. He was puzzled and said, "I remember you used to be serious like a monk, why have you changed your sex now?"

Li Yichu: "Like a monk but not a real monk."

"..." Lu Xin choked for a moment: "Okay, I'm not interested anymore, take it easy, life-saving is the most important thing."

Li Yichu heard him say as if he was going to die, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "I know it very well."

Lu Xin suppressed the words that came out of his throat. He had heard about this circle before, and he would get sick if he was not careful, so he wanted to remind Li Yichu a few words, but Li Yichu seemed very sober, so he shouldn't need to worry about it up.

Liang Xuan tried to understand Li Yichu's past life through Li Yichu's mouth, but every time he opened his mouth, Li Yichu changed the topic, and often the two were in a deep relationship, and the scene became cold because of a sentence.

This was the case again tonight. The two of them leaned on the bed and watched a movie on the iPad. It was a movie co-produced by China and the United States. A famous English song was interspersed in the movie. Liang Xuan asked Li Yichu: "Do you know this song?" can sing?"

Li Yichu: "...No."

Liang Xuan said jokingly: "What have you learned all these years? You don't do your job properly."

Li Yichu suddenly lost his temper, and said angrily: "I haven't learned anything." These days, he has been avoiding chatting with Liang Xuan about some literary topics. He has been struggling to survive these years, so how can he have time to read literary classics like a college student? , listen to operas, and know domestic and foreign movies like the back of the hand.He himself knew that this avoidance stemmed from low self-esteem, and sometimes he even felt that if it weren't for the friendship between the two of them in the past, Liang Xuan would definitely have looked down on him who has never gone to college and is a street person.

Liang Xuan could tell that he was unhappy, and lightly tugged at his ear and said, "Can't you talk about not doing business properly?"

Li Yichu lifted the quilt: "You can say as much as you want."

After speaking, he got out of bed and walked outside.

Liang Xuan sat up and asked, "Where are you going?"

Li Yichu didn't turn his head back: "Go wherever you like."

Liang Xuan didn't know where his sudden temper came from, so he wanted him to calm down by himself and stopped calling him.

Twenty minutes later, Liang Xuan finished watching the movie, but he didn't remember what was said in the second half of the movie. He looked at the pillow next to him, got up and got out of bed, and wanted to see Li Yichu.

As a result, he didn't see Li Yichu when he left the bedroom. Liang Xuan guessed that he must have gone back to his home. While reading to see how I would clean you up, he put on his clothes and changed his shoes.When he walked to the entrance and saw several express boxes, Liang Xuan held them in his hand and prepared to throw them downstairs, but he was taken aback when he opened the door.Li Yichu was sitting by the door in his pajamas, and stood up when he heard the voice, with a smile in his eyes: "You came to find me?"

Liang Xuan suppressed his laughter and shook the waste paper box in his hand with a cold face: "I will throw out the trash."

Then go around to the corridor and take the elevator down to throw out the garbage.When he took the elevator back to his door, Li Yichu was still standing there.Liang Xuan said angrily, "I must carry you in, right?"

Li Yichu looked at him without saying a word, with a slightly smug smile on his face.

It was cold in late autumn, and Li Yichu's skin near the collar of his pajamas was already reddened from the cold.Liang Xuan walked over to pick him up, and when he entered the door, he covered his head with his hands, and said in a deep voice, "I won't put on the tiles for three days."

As soon as he entered the bedroom, Liang Xuan stuffed him into the bed, stripped his clothes based on his feeling, bit the skin on his neck and said angrily: "It's just that I'm too used to you every day, it's no use crying your bed down today !"

In the end, Liang Xuan didn't make up his mind. In the middle of the night, Li Yichu buried his head in the quilt and called out several times, "Liang Xuan, I can't take it anymore...", Liang Xuan immediately pulled out, took him into his arms and rubbed him almost Posterior hole that cannot be closed.

Li Yichu buried his head on Liang Xuan's shoulder, and laughed muffled.

Liang Xuan slapped him across the face: "You are not allowed to run away from home in the future."

Li Yichu remained silent.

Liang Xuan's voice softened: "If you are angry, you can beat me, scold me and quarrel with me."

Li Yichu wrapped his arms around his waist and whispered: "Liang Xuan, I love you very much."

Liang Xuan thought in his heart that you also said you loved me before, so you just left.But afraid that Li Yichu would be upset if he said this, so he touched his forehead and smiled, "Let's just trust you."

Li Yichu knew that he was in a bad mood tonight, so he didn't blame Liang Xuan, maybe that's how people are, the more they care, the more they care about everything, they have to compare everything, for fear of being looked down upon.After eight years, he was no longer as sure as he was when he was a child that Liang Xuan would be by his side no matter what happened. Only children are so ignorant and fearless.

Li Yichu was busy reciting words in the office when the notice of the company's overseas training came.The phone mailbox voice reminded that there was a new email, so he opened it and took a look.Every year, the company has a place for overseas training, but Li Yichu has never participated in this training, because he has learned from others that the training form is more important than the substance, and it is just the so-called mutual exchange between large international companies. If you really want to learn something, you might as well Look at their technology on the extranet at home.But this time when he saw that the training city was Vancouver, he was suddenly moved.He is reading French books recently, and he only spends 10, [-], [-] minutes of study time every day. Up to now, he can’t even speak a complete sentence. He has read in the book that the language other than English in Vancouver is French, which can’t be better. locale.

Even if you don't know anything, staying in a French-speaking place for a month will be more efficient than it is now.Besides, the department has no new projects to do at this stage, so his time is just free.

Candidates for this training are usually selected from among the new employees who have performed well. After all, no leader will waste a month to attend an unimportant training, but once the leader signs up, he will definitely pass.The problem now is Liang Xuan, Li Yichu has to find a reason to convince him.

And Liang Xuan has been feeling irritable these two days. He started to make money in college, and started trading in stocks in his junior year. The stock market fell like crazy every day. He watched himself lose 70 yuan in two days. He sat in front of the computer and analyzed for a whole noon. The stock market had to fall. all thrown away.Although it is said that stock trading is just a matter of playing mentality, he has not made less money for so many years, but losing 70 yuan in the blink of an eye still makes him feel uncomfortable.

The more prominent a person's personal ability is, the more he knows how difficult it is to start from scratch.Especially in this era, it seems that there are very few legends of civilian tycoons.Although Liang Xuan is much better than his peers, he is still far away from his goal.Liang Xuan was not a person who was keen on material things. This goal originated from Li Yichu's departure, but he was also willing to admit that it was because of this goal that he grew faster.

Just like many years ago, he would try his best to satisfy any wish of Li Yichu. Now that they are all adults, Li Yichu's wish has become extravagant, almost becoming something that Liang Xuan can't do. Even though he was angry and resentful about it, he can calm down In the end, he still hoped to realize it, and then let Li Yichu stay by his side forever.That contract was just an excuse for him, and he would never sign a breach of the contract.

When Liang Xuan was in Beijing, he partnered with a friend to open a hot pot restaurant. He took a stake and his friend managed it. Because of the average location, his annual income is excluding rent and costs, and his dividend is only 60 million.Liang Xuan withdrew his money from the stock market, and began to think about finding someone to partner with him to open a restaurant like a hotpot restaurant in Shanghai. Although he might not be able to make a lot of money, he could earn hundreds of thousands a year, which was better than him. Get paid to live.

Liang Xuan is more familiar with Beijing, and it is easy to find shops, but Shanghai is completely unfamiliar to him. He has no idea where the land is good or where the rent is suitable.Although Li Yichu had been in Shanghai for a few years and was a perfect partner, Liang Xuan didn't intend to recruit him into the team.It is too tiring to open a shop and do business. Once the two of them form a partnership, it is impossible for Li Yichu to stand by and watch, but Liang Xuan only wants him to be a proprietress who can sit back and enjoy the benefits.Besides, Li Yichu is rich in assets, why should he join in the fun with him?

So Liang Xuan started to contact friends, wanting to understand the market before making a decision.This contact really turned out to be a good opportunity. According to his friend, the owner of a shop in Shanghai needed money urgently because his relatives were sick. He wanted to sell the shop as soon as possible. The lowest price he gave was 550 million. Liang Xuan I deliberately went to the store to check it out. It is close to shopping malls and movie theaters. It is a place with a lot of traffic. The boss originally opened a hot pot restaurant.Liang Xuan rushed over for dinner, people came and went, and he had to queue up if he was late.

But Liang Xuan can't get together 550 million now, and it's impossible for him to put all the money into the business. On the other hand, the shop owner is short on time.As for the partner, the group of Shanghai friends his friend knew were either rich or expensive, and no one was interested in doing this kind of small business as a partner. After thinking about it for a few days, Liang Xuan borrowed some money from his friend and sold it alone the whole store.What was more difficult this time than in Beijing was that he did not have a reliable friend to be the manager of the store, so he had to wait for the procedures to be completed and recruit from outside, and wait until there was a suitable candidate in the future before recruiting people to join the team.

Liang Xuan's non-stop busyness directly caused Li Yichu to not see him much for a week.Liang Xuan wanted to wait until everything was settled before telling Li Yichu, so when asked, he said that he was going to discuss things with a friend, and told him after the negotiation was completed.

The deadline for registration for overseas training is next Monday. Li Yichu still hasn't figured out how to tell Liang Xuan. Liang Xuan must know that this training is of little significance, so no matter how Li Yichu makes it up, it seems that he won't be able to make it back.And his real reason, let alone speak.

Since the two lived together, they didn't work overtime on weekends. It's a pity that Liang Xuan went out before Li Yichu woke up in the morning.He has nothing to do at home alone, so he uses the computer in the study to watch French online class videos.When it was almost noon, Li Yichu received a call from Liang Xuan asking him to go downstairs.

Liang Xuan brought Li Yichu to his hot pot restaurant. In order not to affect the business of the restaurant, Liang Xuan did not make any changes after buying the store. It only closed for a few days. After finding a manager, he chose to reopen on the weekend.It was nearly twelve o'clock when the two arrived, and there were already more than a dozen people sitting in the queuing area outside the hotpot restaurant.When Li Yichu saw this situation, he said, "Let's change to another store."

Liang Xuan smiled: "We have a private room." Then he dragged Li Yichu inside without hesitation, pointing to the decoration in the shop along the way, and introduced him with great interest the style and materials used, and the two entered. Having bought a large box that can accommodate more than a dozen people, Li Yichu wondered, "Do you have friends coming?"

Liang Xuan: "No, it's just the two of us."

Li Yichu: "Then what are you doing with such a big room?"

Liang Xuan pushed him to take a seat: "Eat first, I will tell you something later."

When Liang Xuan said this, Li Yichu also remembered that he had something to tell him. He had to send a registration email to the headquarters tomorrow morning. If he didn't explain it now, he would be even more unclear later.Liang Xuan took the menu and ordered with the waiter, while Li Yichu stared at the bowls in front of him, his mind seemed to be hollowed out, and he couldn't think of any reason.He wondered if this was the retribution for telling too many lies in front of Liang Xuan. When he was working, he would inevitably make false claims with others, and he always made up small excuses. Why did his brain feel like rust when he came to Liang Xuan's place? What?

After Liang Xuan waited for the waiter to leave, he saw Li Yichu staring at the front like a log. He thought it was amused, and turned his head to kiss him, but Li Yichu was shocked all over.

Liang Xuan: "...what's wrong?"

Li Yichu quickly sat down: "You, why are you making a surprise attack?"

Liang Xuan smiled lightly: "What are you thinking? Your eyes are straight."

Li Yichu was about to speak, when the waiter knocked on the door outside, Liang Xuan let her in, and plates of dishes were brought in.Li Yichu looked at the dishes on the trolley, and asked strangely, "Why did you order so many?"

Liang Xuan: "Although there are many types, the amount of each serving has been reduced by two-thirds, so the total amount is not too much."

Li Yichu thought this restaurant was really good, so he even allowed customers to order like this.

Liang Xuan said while heating the dishes: "I ordered all kinds, you have to taste them all, and then tell me which ones are delicious and which ones are not."

Seeing the rare childishness of the person opposite, Li Yichu said with a smile: "So you asked me to try the dishes."

The two of them ate halfway, Li Yichu put down his chopsticks, looked at Liang Xuan and said seriously: "Liang Xuan, there is something I want to tell you, first you promise me not to be angry."

Seeing his solemn expression, Liang Xuan thought there was some serious matter: "I promise you, just tell me."

Li Yichu: "The company will send people to Canada for training, you know that?"

The smile on the corner of Liang Xuan's mouth disappeared, and he took his hand back, looking at Li Yichu: "...Are you going?"

Li Yichu: "Yes, I want to go. For a month, I... I have never been to Canada before, and I want to visit this time."

Liang Xuan leaned back and looked at him coldly. At that moment, Li Yichu seemed to see Liang Xuan sitting in the car looking at him the day the two reunited, with distant familiarity and strangeness that could not be ignored.It seems that the day and night companionship between the two these days is an illusion, and it will be broken with one blow.

Liang Xuan: "With me, are you tired?"

Li Yichu hurriedly moved the chair in front of him, and said solemnly: "Liang Xuan, I really want to go this time. As for the reason, I want to visit that city and hear their language. It's only a month. Come back soon."

Liang Xuan took out his mobile phone, opened the browser, and typed in the words Feng Qiming. The latest news was that Feng Qiming was about to go to Canada for recuperation, and Chengfeng Group was temporarily in charge of the vice president.

Li Yichu never expected such a coincidence to happen. Recently, he seldom contacted Feng Qiming, nor did he pay attention to the news on the Internet. How could he know that Feng Qiming would also go to Canada.

Liang Xuan looked at him: "Yichu, I know that you and Feng Qiming have an innocent relationship, if you tell me the truth, no matter if you go to take care of the patients, or... or fight for the will, even if I get angry, I won't stop you." You, why don't you even dare to tell me the truth? Do you really think I'm so stupid in front of you that I believe whatever you say? "

Li Yichu propped his forehead with his hands helplessly, he never thought that things would turn out like this, and now he couldn't explain it clearly no matter how he made it up.But he was very clear about one thing, once he went to Canada this time, it would be over for him and Liang Xuan.

Li Yichu grabbed his arm, pleading in his tone: "I won't go, okay? I won't go."

There was a forced smile on Liang Xuan's lips: "Yichu, let me ask you again, I don't know when you returned to China, but you have been in Shanghai for four years, have you never thought of looking for me? Why don't you Do you know that I won't forgive you? If I don't come to Shanghai, will you never go to Beijing in your life? What do you think of me? Use it if you have it, and it doesn't matter if you don't?"

Liang Xuan leaned forward, and the distance from Li Yichu was only one palm width away. He lowered his head, pressed his thumb on Li Yichu's lips, and said coldly, "Last night you said you loved me, your mouth really knows how to say it." Coax people."

After Liang Xuan finished speaking, he suddenly got up, put his knees on the chair and walked out without looking back.

Li Yichu sat in the chair and grabbed his head, wanting to overturn the whole table in annoyance, why couldn't he tell in advance?How did everything become like this again?

At twelve o'clock that night, Liang Xuan still didn't go home.Li Yichu knew that nothing would happen to him as an adult, and he didn't come back just because he didn't want to see him.Li Yichu sat on the sofa, remembering that he was sitting here last night waiting for Liang Xuan to fall asleep, and when Liang Xuan came back, he carried him into the bedroom, and he smiled and said in Liang Xuan's ear that he loved him.

But no matter how much we wait tonight, Liang Xuan probably won't come back.

During the Monday morning meeting, Li Yichu met Liang Xuan in the meeting room, and only then did he know that Liang Xuan slept in the office last night.Coming out of the conference room, Li Yichu still had Liang Xuan with stubble on his chin and wrinkled shirt in Li Yichu's mind.He sat in the office until noon, and sent a text message to Liang Xuan: You go home, I will go to Guangzhou for a business trip in the afternoon for a week.

Originally, he didn't need to go on a business trip this time, but when he saw his colleagues in the work group say that they would leave in the afternoon, he immediately made an application with the personnel. He knew that Liang Xuan was angry now, and even if he said it a hundred times, he didn't know Feng Qiming Even going to Canada, Liang Xuan would not believe it.It's better to disappear for a few days and wait until Liang Xuan's anger subsides before he goes back.

As soon as Li Yichu left, Liang Xuan didn't go to the company for two days.On the third day, Xu Pan came to the door to look for someone, and when he smashed the door outside, he was about to curse at people downstairs, so Liang Xuan rubbed his temples and went to open the door.Seeing him, Xu Pan yelled directly: "Are you going to work yet? Mr. Chen is going to scold me to death, you know?"

As a result, as soon as he entered the room, Xu Pan took a few steps back due to the smell of alcohol.She followed Liang Xuan into the room, and Liang Xuan fell headlong into the sofa again.Xu Pan opened the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room to ventilate, put all the wine bottles scattered on the table into the trash can, stood in the living room and looked around the whole room. It is full of life, cartoon refrigerator magnets, colorful pillows, and a dining table with vases and tablecloths.She didn't need to ask to know that Liang Xuan must have bought these things. She could tell when she was in high school that Liang Xuan looked indifferent on the surface, but that was only for outsiders. can think of.

The last time Xu Pan saw Liang Xuan's slovenliness was during the summer vacation of the year after the college entrance examination. At that time, Li Yichu left him, and Liang Xuan's whole person seemed to be useless.Now that the two are entangled again, Liang Xuan will have to be abolished sooner or later.When she knew that the two were living together, she felt that Liang Xuan had to fall into it again. As expected, how long has it been? !

Xu Pan pushed the person on the sofa: "What are you doing? You think you two don't have enough ties, so you insist on living together and fighting to the death?"

Liang Xuan lay face down on the sofa, motionless.

Xu Pan pushed him hard: "Speak!"

Liang Xuan turned over on the sofa, pressed his arms on his forehead, and said hoarsely after a long time: "There is no relationship between us... I forced it."

Xu Pan: "..."

Liang Xuan's eyes were half-opened, and his voice was very tired: "I just relied on my previous feelings or kindness to tie him to me. These years, I was alone, but he had Feng Qiming and Lu Xin in his life." , maybe there are other people. During the period when he grew from a boy to a young man, he and these people experienced some stories that I can't imagine. No matter what kind of story it is, it should be better than this one. For a long time in the past, the person who said that discarding can be discarded is unforgettable. No matter how much I deceive myself, I am no longer the only one in his heart, and even said that the story has been turned."

As a bystander, although Xu Pan disdained Li Yichu's reason for leaving in the first place, she had no right to dictate other people's choices.This is the case with emotional matters, if Li Yichu can lose it, but Liang Xuan can't afford it, Liang Xuan deserves to be hanged on this tree for the rest of his life.

Xu Pan: "I knew that you came to Shanghai because of Li Yichu, so I thought you were purely masochistic. What happened before was just a knot, you can't possibly not mind, and your mother, if she knew that you got mixed up, she would probably be angry Crazy. You said that this obviously has no good results. Why are you tossing so hard. It’s better to be a friend. Whoever leaves in this life can’t live. You just can’t get over that hurdle in your heart. have what."

Liang Xuan smiled wryly: "I used to think that I couldn't get over that knot, that's why I couldn't get over it. But these days have passed, I know it's not."

He clearly knew that the cohabitation contract he signed at the beginning was just a joke, a piece of waste paper without legal effect, if Li Yichu really wanted to leave, this contract would be of no use at all.But he still spent the night studying word by word, comparing various legal documents, trying to make Li Yichu not take advantage of the loopholes, and make the contract as perfect as the marriage law.If the Li Yichu in his eyes was still the same as eight years ago when he first arrived in Shanghai, then the relationship between them is no longer what it used to be after living together until now.How much he loved in the past, but now it only increases and does not decrease. Before he was young, he had never seen the vastness of the world, so it is not surprising that he only pretended to be Li Yichu in his heart.But now that he has been in the society for many years, he has met many interesting or amazing people, but when he sees Li Yichu again, he still likes to see everything around him.It was as if Li Yi was born as his Achilles' heel, even if he met him at the age of [-], he still couldn't control his heartbeat.

Seeing that he turned his head to the inside, Xu Pan knew that he didn't want to say more, so he sighed and said, "Hey, I can't take care of your affairs. I'll go to the company and ask you for a few days off later?"

"No need." Liang Xuan closed his eyes: "I'll take a shower and go to work."

Xu Pan: "Come on, what can you do when you go to work like this?"

Liang Xuan: "I have my own score, you go back to the company first."

Seeing that Xu Pan could not persuade him, he had no choice but to leave first.

Liang Xuan went into the bedroom to get the bathrobe, and the clothes of the two of them were hanging together in the closet. He remembered the time when Li Yichu got up too early and was in a hurry. Li Yichu wore his shirt by mistake to go to the company. He saw him during the meeting, and the whole meeting was distracted.

That day in the hot pot restaurant, Liang Xuan was really hurt by Li Yichu and wanted to break up with him, but at this moment, he had to admit that he missed the owner of these clothes.
