Irreplaceable

He is not a filial son. He broke up with his family for a man and broke his parents' hearts.

Coming out was purely accidental.

He didn't expect it, but he didn't escape.

It was a summer vacation in his junior year, and he and Cheng Yi had been together for more than a year.

People in love always want to pour out their love to each other, and he is no exception.

One night, he was at the desk, writing something by the light of the desk lamp - a love letter to Cheng Yi.

Suddenly, with a bang, a cup of warm milk fell on the ground.

Shen Zhiyuan turned around and met Shen's mother who looked terrified.

Needless to say, everything that should be seen has been seen.

Shen Zhiyuan mentioned Cheng Yi many times in front of his parents, talking about friends.

He couldn't hide the excitement and joy in his words, and the parents only thought that this friend named Cheng Yi was special, and had no other ideas.

Who knew the truth was so unbearable.

Shen Zhiyuan knelt in front of his parents, straightened his back, and said nothing.

Furious, Father Shen picked up a cup and threw it at it: "It's a shame, our Shen family doesn't have such an unfilial son like you!"

Shen Zhiyuan's forehead was bled, but he still knelt there motionless, his gaze revealing firmness.

Shen's mother covered her face and wept, knowing that there was no room for turning things around.

Could her own son not understand?He has been a very assertive person since he was a child. He is gentle and obedient on the surface, but if he really wants to be stubborn, no one can stop him.

Father Shen smashed another cup over.

This time it hit Shen Zhiyuan's chest, he suddenly coughed a few times, but didn't rub it.

"We have worked so hard to support you to go to college because we hope you will be successful, not for you to hang out with a man!" Father Shen was emotional, his face livid.

He never expected that Shen Zhiyuan would cause such a trouble.

Shen Zhiyuan has made people worry-free since he was a child, with excellent grades, and he was admitted to a prestigious university all the way. He is the object that the locals talk about and is a good boy in everyone's eyes.

"Say, do you want to break this relationship?"

Shen Zhiyuan, who had been struggling to stay silent all this time, finally spoke out: "Dad, Mom, I beg you, just let me go this time, okay?"

Shen's father was so angry that he picked up the chair beside him and started to smash it, but Shen's mother stopped him, crying and shouting: "What are you doing? Are you going to kill him?"

"It's fine if you beat him to death, our Shen family can't afford to lose this man!"

In the end, the furious Father Shen was stopped, and he roared angrily: "Just one word, do you want him or us?"

"Dad!" Shen Zhiyuan's eyes widened in disbelief, how would he face such a choice, he turned to his mother again.

Shen's mother avoided his gaze while wiping her tears, and her attitude was very clear.

In a small county like theirs, the news is still very closed, and it is simply a fantasy and an unheard of thing for two men to be together.

As a parent, no matter from which angle you think about it, you will never agree to such a request from your son.

In the end, the result of the stalemate between the two sides was that Shen Zhiyuan was thrown out of the house together with his luggage.

He stood stiffly at the door all night before pulling his luggage and leaving the house.

No one knows how he spent that night.

He took his luggage to find Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi opened the door, and what he saw was a young man wearing a black windbreaker and pulling a suitcase, rushing here.

Shen Zhiyuan stood at the door with his eyes swollen from crying.

Cheng Yi hurriedly pulled someone into the room: "What's wrong? Baby, who made you feel wronged?"

At first, Shen Zhiyuan sat on the sofa blankly and didn't speak, then slowly opened his mouth: "My parents know, they don't want me anymore."

Although he couldn't explain clearly, Cheng Yi understood what was going on after thinking about it for a while: "It's okay, baby, I will always be with you."

Love words that came casually, without even passing through the brain.

In fact, Cheng Yichu was still very surprised when he heard that Shen Zhiyuan came out of the closet. He didn't expect Shen Zhiyuan to be so serious.

But it was a good thing for him, he was already annoyed that Shen's father and Shen's mother always told their son that he wanted to find a girlfriend, now needless to say, Shen Zhiyuan can completely stay by his side.

Cheng Yi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him forcibly teasing him by his side, nor did he think about it for Shen Zhiyuan.

He never thought about the issue of responsibility, just for fun, why take it seriously?

Such a selfish and cruel approach.

Apart from being taciturn at the beginning, Shen Zhiyuan didn't see anything unusual afterwards.As for Cheng Yi, he would not have any thoughts on these matters.

The days went on like this.

After leaving home that time, Shen Zhiyuan also went back.

However, he couldn't even enter the door of the house, so he was driven away.

Over time, he never went back.

He just makes occasional calls to the landline at home, sometimes his dad answers, sometimes his mother answers, and listening to their voices makes him very satisfied, and he doesn't dare to have other delusions.

"Director Shen, why are you sitting here?"

A voice pulled back Shen Zhiyuan's thoughts.

"President Wang." He called out and stood up hastily.

The person who came was Wang Qing, the boss of Shen Zhiyuan's company. He was in his early thirties and had a successful career. He exuded the charm of a mature man all over his body.

At this time, he was wearing a gray overcoat, and he stood there straight, becoming more and more upright and steady.

Shen Zhiyuan said with some embarrassment: "I was distracted just now, and I didn't see Mr. Wang coming. By the way, isn't it the Chinese New Year? Mr. Wang, why are you still in Beijing?"

He remembered that Wang Qing's home was not in Beijing, and the Chinese New Year would be tomorrow, why hadn't he left yet?

Wang Qing pretended not to see the red eyes of the other party, because Shen Zhiyuan just turned sideways to wipe away the remaining tears, obviously he didn't want people to get into it.

So he didn't ask any more questions, but just answered Shen Zhiyuan's question: "My parents are abroad all year round, they got together some time ago, and they separated after the Chinese New Year."

"So that's the case." Shen Zhiyuan nodded understandingly.

Wang Qing asked smoothly: "What about you? Why didn't you go home?"

"I..." Shen Zhiyuan was silent for a while.

Wang Qing paused, and changed the subject in a timely manner: "I was about to find something to eat. It seems that you haven't eaten yet, why don't we go together? There is a hot pot restaurant in front that tastes really good. I haven't been there for a long time."

Wang Qing has always paid attention to observing words and demeanor, respecting and protecting the privacy of the other party properly, so as to avoid embarrassing situations for both parties.

It is a great blessing for their employees to have such a considerate boss.

"Okay, I'll treat you." Shen Zhiyuan readily agreed, he hadn't had lunch yet, and it was only natural to treat his boss to a meal.

Moreover, there is a reason hidden in the bottom of my heart.He didn't want to wander alone on such a festive day.

How nice it is to have dinner with someone.

The two walked to the hot pot restaurant that Wang Qing mentioned.

Sure enough, the business was very good, and there were many people crowded.

A waiter came forward: "Two, red soup or clear soup?"

Shen Zhiyuan: "Clear soup."

Wang Qing: "Red soup."

The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

It was Wang Qing who said to the bewildered waiter, "Let's cook the mandarin duck."

After ordering some more dishes, the waiter walked away.

Wang Qing smiled and said, "I can't tell, you don't even eat spicy food."

Shen Zhiyuan replied truthfully: "The stomach is not very good, keep in good health."

Wang Qing nodded approvingly: "It's good to keep in good health, and it's time for me to keep in good health."

It is obviously very pleasant to communicate with people like Wang Qing.

He is knowledgeable and talented, and he has a certain degree of advance and retreat. He will neither stand in the cold or make people feel uncomfortable.

The two had eaten hot pot and had nothing to do, so they went to the flower and bird market again.

Shen Zhiyuan didn't expect that Wang Qing in private would still be a person who likes to play with flowers and plants.

At work, he knew that Wang Qing had a clear mind and a strong hand, and a few words on the negotiating table could make the other party throw up his armor.

The two of them communicated more in one day than in the past. After all, they just discussed business affairs in a rigid way before. How could they discuss what flowers and how to grow them, which restaurant's food tastes good, and which square is newly built .

In the end, it was Wang Qing who drove Shen Zhiyuan home.

Before getting off the car, Wang Qing suddenly said, "How about celebrating the New Year together tomorrow?"

Shen Zhiyuan's hand froze when he was opening the door, he looked at Wang Qing in the driver's seat in surprise, but saw that the other party had a serious expression on his face.

Wang Qing smiled elegantly and said, "It's not convenient for you? Anyway, I'm alone, and one more person makes do with the New Year, and it will be more lively."

Soon, Shen Zhiyuan smiled knowingly: "Okay, I am also alone."

The words of refusal were on the lips, but in the end they didn't say it.

In the past four years, he spent the New Year alone in a cold manner. He was really afraid, the kind of loneliness that seemed to swallow people up.

I didn't expect that in the fifth year, there would be someone who would accompany me to celebrate the new year.

Although he and Wang Qing are not the best friends, they have known each other for so many years of working together.

It would be nice to spend New Years together.

Wang Qing said: "Then I'll pick you up tomorrow, and we'll go to the mall to buy vegetables together, and go to my place to celebrate the New Year. There are all kitchen utensils, but I haven't boiled the pot for a long time, and most of them are embroidered."

Shen Zhiyuan laughed amused by his words, and said: "Don't bother you to pick me up, I'll go directly to the mall."

He didn't really want to bother others, and he couldn't refuse today, so he took Wang Qing's car home.

"Alright." Wang Qing nodded, without any further force, and made a goodbye gesture, "See you tomorrow then."

"See you tomorrow."

Shen Zhiyuan waited for Wang Qing's car to drive away before slowly going upstairs.

The cold wind is still biting, but there is a little warmth in my heart.Nothing else, this is the instinct of animals to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, to avoid loneliness and long for companionship.

If possible, he would be very willing to make a friend like Wang Qing.
