Chapter 26
Early in the morning, he called Qingshan and brought a piece of good news to Zhong Yin: the cleaning and rearranging of the house had almost been completed, and they would be able to go home soon without having to depend on others.
Qingshan and his girlfriend helped a lot with the repair work, Zhong Yin thanked them very much, and agreed to treat them to a big meal when he went back.The young couple handed over the decision-making power of the restaurant to Zhong Yan, and the child was already happily thinking about what to eat.
Some people are happy and some are sad, but here is bad news for Huo Xixuan, which means that their inexplicable short "cohabitation" will soon come to an end.Adults don’t show disappointment on their faces, they come in the evening as usual, bring Zhong Yin or Yanyan’s favorite food, sit in the living room with the children to watch cartoons after dinner, sometimes drink milk together, sometimes not , did not go to the terrace to have a heart-to-heart talk again; the next day, I bought good food and waited for Zhong Yin to make breakfast, listened to Yanyan talk about the kindergarten, and left after eating.
Almost like an ordinary family of three working from nine to five.Although everyone knows that this is just a normal temporary.
However, apart from going back to that house at night, Mr. Huo, who was supposed to be busy with his business, didn't go to Qingyue these days, and left the matter to Jiang Zheng to handle it. He went to Ak for a drink by himself, and went to a friend's place to play a racing car. Once on a motorcycle, or without drinking or racing, calm down and find a place where you will not be disturbed to chat.
He always wants to "chat" with people recently.Maybe I really need to be enlightened, maybe I just want to relieve my stuffy heart.
After Ah K knew that he and Zhong Yin had fallen into an unclear relationship again, he didn't say much, as if he had expected it.Some entanglements are engraved in the bones and blood. Even if they were broken by fate, they will grow back into inseparable ribs one day.
"What should come will always come." After drinking a glass of wine, he patted Huo Xixuan, like mocking, but also comforting.
One day they went to Lingshan Cemetery together and found Adlin's tombstone.
Lingshan is just Lingshan, quiet, without sorrow or joy, guarding the rest of thousands of souls here, guarding the sorrow, prayer and longing of the left behind.
The reason why Zhong Yin found Adlin back then is no longer known.Before deciding to take his own life, this skilled and responsible doctor, in addition to finding a home for his only child, also strictly protected the privacy of the patients. Those who were transferred to the hospital handed over the files, and those who had recovered were destroyed.
Those who have been cared for by her will not know that even at the end of life, she still has tenderness.
Even if A K has the supernatural ability, he can't restore the originals that were all disposed of a few years ago.Therefore, Zhong Yin's illness has become a mystery—unless he is willing to confide to Huo Xixuan on his own initiative one day.
Ah K took out a cigarette, thinking that it is not good to light an open fire on the mountain, and he does not respect the dead, so he just bit it in his mouth and did not light it: "You want to know so much, just ask."
"asked."
"Then?"
"...No more."
"Well, that's right. With your family's character, how could you talk about it even if you are suffering?"
It's "your guy" again.This time, I really live at home, but it's a pity that I'm still an outsider.
If you don't speak out about the bitterness, you won't be able to make it sweet no matter how much you hold it back.The truth is understood, but Zhong Yin will not change anything because of it.
"Actually, I was thinking, there is still something to hide." Ah K raised his chin, "Hey, Master Huo, if it was you who kicked someone who no longer loves, for example, let me think about it...for example, Ren Xiao. Will you be uncomfortable?"
Huo Xixuan thought about it for a while, and frowned: "There must be guilt."
"Yes, normal people will feel guilty. After all, they have built relationships and responsibilities. Then, will you feel heartbroken because of it? You can't sleep at night, you don't think about food and drink, and you can't even get out of the nightmare because of this, until you have to seek outside help. ?”
There have been.
His tossing and turning, his sleepless nights, and his heartache.The days in the quagmire after divorcing Zhong Yin, and today, four years later, I still can't let go.
But those are all because he loves Zhong Yin deeply, if it is Ren Xiao, or any of the sporadic bed partners who are short-lived, even if it is the object of a vague affection in adolescence that has not been put into action, he will not feel heartache a feeling of.
Heartache is the same as heartbeat, where is the emotion that is so easy to trigger.
——The love you give and the pain you get are always equal.If Zhong Yin ever felt pain because of the divorce, beyond the guilt of just dumping someone, then it must not be because the love has been exhausted.
This is the reason why Ah K is beating him sideways, and it is the answer to Zhong Yin's untouchable mystery.
The day of the all-round good assistant Mr. Jiang Zheng starts with cleaning up the mess for his boss Huo Xixuan.
It's not a big deal to get news one after another at work. He even took time out of his busy schedule to answer a personal phone call. When he saw the caller, he was quite surprised.
"Miss Ren."
"Why are you barking so ridiculously?" The girl on the other end of the phone chuckled, her voice was clear, "Good morning, Brother Zheng."
Going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Jiang Zheng knew that his relationship with Ren Xiao was far from close enough to chat: "Hey, miss, let's get down to business. I'm busy, and Mr. Huo didn't come today."
"Again?" Ren Xiao's voice was a little strange, "Then do you know what he went to do?"
Naturally, the elbow cannot be turned outward: "What's wrong?"
Knowing that he was busy, Ren Xiao didn't go around the bush, and cut straight to the point: "You have the addresses of several houses in Xixuan, can you give me a copy?"
"This..." Not so good.
"Uncle Huo asked me to ask." She was calm.
The first level of officials crushes people to death, let alone the immediate boss.There are not many people who can carry Huo Shixiao's name, and Ren Xiao is one of them, and he is not like the one who can use Hufu privately.Jiang Zheng sent the information with suspicion and confusion. Mr. Huo obviously hasn't bought a new property for a long time. It's impossible that Mr. Huo didn't know the previous place, so what else is there to ask?
After a while, a new question came from over there: "Is there no house on the West Third Ring Road?"
"West Third Ring Road?" Jiang Zheng was puzzled, "I haven't heard of it. It's so far away from the company and Dong Huo's house, why buy it there?"
It seems that Jiang Zheng is not one of the insiders.The girl was silent for a moment, and her voice brightened again: "It's okay. Brother Zheng, go to work, bye~"
It's not that Ren Xiao is inexplicable, but that this matter is indeed a bit inexplicable.Jiang Zheng hung up the phone, feeling the need to speak to Huo Xixuan.Just about to dial out, the front desk opened the door and came in: "Jiang Zhu, Ke Ren's people have arrived."
He put down his phone, let's deal with the more important things at hand first, Huo Xixuan can wait there, just remember to tell him when he comes back from the meeting.
Ke Ren Group can't wait.That little Boss Zhen is not easy to deal with.Recently, I have been pressing every step of the way, and now I have people come to my door directly.In the Middle Ages, it would have been an invitation to a duel for a knight to throw his glove at the opponent's door.
How could Huo Xixuan, a careless boss, disappear at such a time?
He returned home from the Lingshan cemetery down the mountain and found that both the father and son who should have been out were there.Today, Yanyan Kindergarten’s class is only half a day in the afternoon. Zhong Yin was supposed to be able to take care of him at home, but he received a temporary overtime notice from the company. It was his project team. Today, someone from above suddenly came to investigate. He is the speaker and the person in charge. Can't do without him.Xiang Qingshan is not in Mingcheng, no one picks up Yanyan from school.
When Huo Xixuan arrived, he was calling his friends one by one.
"It's okay, sorry to bother you."
"Is that so..."
"My son's kindergarten today—"
"It's okay, I'm just asking."
"Well, are you free this afternoon? About three o'clock..."
Maybe it's a bias effect, the whole world is busy when he needs help.
"I'll go." Huo Xixuan frowned displeased when he was desperately looking for someone to entrust, "Don't you believe me?"
Zhong Yin stopped holding the phone.
This is not a question of belief or disbelief at all. Time and time again, they sway their swords and fall into a relationship that crosses the border. Any more responsibility, more fetters, more danger.
But Zhong Yin had no other choice, he was almost planning to seek help from that unreliable Yu Tong, and Huo Xixuan was indeed the only one who was free and reassuring.
One person.
Huo Xixuan regained Zhong Yin's mobile phone number and WeChat.In fact, it should be a very simple matter. He has many reasons and ways to get it, but none of them is better than the other party's initiative to change the name.
He leans on the sofa and scrolls through Zhong Yin's circle of friends. There are only a few messages every month. Sometimes he reposts company and industry news, and sometimes it is a photo of his son.Huo Xixuan, or anyone else, can't spy anything from there.
Kindergarten ends at [-]:[-] p.m., and I can go there almost as soon as I wake up during lunch break.Huo Xixuan suddenly wondered in the middle of the road, those employees in his company, dual-earner families, who will pick up the children after school or when there is an emergency?
However, Boss Huo is Boss Huo after all, even if he can imagine, it's just thinking about it, and he doesn't need to experience the helplessness and suffering of ordinary people.He only needs to hand over the work to his assistant, drive a car that ordinary people can't afford in their lifetime savings, and drive leisurely to the gate of the kindergarten at the specified time.
Taking Zhong Yan away from Yu Xiaoyuan, ignoring the envious eyes of the former whose father was late again, Huo Xixuan asked Yanyan: "How did that little cake taste yesterday?"
"Delicious! Thank you uncle!"
"Do you want to eat again today?"
The child's eyes lit up, but he hesitated: "Father said, children should not eat too much, or they will have toothache."
Huo Xixuan responded accordingly: "Then uncle will take you to make one yourself, and give it to dad at home, okay? Dad is an adult now, so he doesn't have a toothache."
"it is good!"
The three-year-old Xiao Zhongyan would not know that the cake that this uncle brought himself to make for his father was worth half a month's salary of his father.
The manager of this private custom-made high-end dessert shop personally came out to greet them and led them to the box, where the senior chef of country Q was already waiting.The chef also studied in C City, and even communicated with C University. Huo Xixuan chatted with him, felt very cordial, and gave a lot of tips when he left.
In fact, Huo Xixuan has never been a person who gets along well with children, but Zhong Yan has a natural closeness to him, and is Zhong Yin's adopted son, so he is happy to take care of him.
Sometimes he even thought, if he didn't know Adlin at all, and he never had any second thoughts during the years with Zhong Yin, he would have to wonder if Yanyan was an illegitimate child he didn't know about.
Otherwise, how to explain the familiar feeling of being connected by blood?
It couldn't be that Zhong Yin secretly gave birth to him.
He began to fantasize about suffering again.

Zhong Yin
When did you sleep?
Horsey suspension
Just now.
Zhong Yin
No trouble?
Horsey suspension
No.
I drank milk before going to bed.
I also brushed my teeth.
Zhong Yin
Well, thank you.
Horsey suspension
Are you really going to be polite to me about this kind of thing?
Zhong Yin
……
Horsey suspension
Stop talking, let's go home.
The mobile phone chat interface still stopped at the four words "Go home soon", which reminded him of the past.That sentence used to mean sweet words like "I'm waiting for you" and "I miss you", but now they can only be buried behind the cold words, and nothing can be said.
The night was already deep, the stars rose above the treetops, the community security guards were drowsy, but it was rare for Zhong Yin not to speed up his pace deliberately.
In the past, Yanyan was often left at Xiang Qingshan's house to take care of him. Every time he hurried back with guilt towards his neighbors, but today he seemed relieved because of Huo Xixuan's presence.
Or, living here, Zhong Yin has no heavier burden than "shouldn't meet Huo Xixuan".
Even though they are legally strangers without any name, in a corner of his heart, Huo Xixuan is still
He is the most trusted and fully delivered existence in this world.
The brief meeting was coming to an end, and he was about to move back home soon, he no longer felt anxious, and regarded the bland get-together these days as an unexpected gift.Anyway, after this incident, the two will return to their unrelated life, which is still a soft dream that can be chewed after when they are embarrassed.
After all these years of haggling, I finally let myself take a breather.Zhong Yin thought so, walked downstairs, and saw a car parked at the door that was not affordable by the consumption level of this community.
If he hadn't recognized Horsey's license plate, he would have thought it was his.
A depressive premonition enveloped him, making him just want to go home quickly, back to the safe place where there was salt and Horsey hanging there.He was about to walk over quickly, and then, a figure that he would never forget in his life stepped out of the car.
He was so shocked that his blood froze.
If Huo Xixuan is a dream he doesn't want to wake up from, then Huo Shixiao is a real nightmare.
