rejuvenation

I sat sullenly in his office and played with the IPAD. He hurried to the meeting just after he arrived, and handed me over to one of his female assistants. The female assistant is actually very busy, so I offered to play on the IPAD. Heaved a sigh of relief, made me a glass of milk, brought me some snacks and went to do her work.

He must be very busy, and he didn’t come back to the office during the meeting. At twelve o’clock, the female assistant brought me a meal from their cafeteria, duck with plums, fried beef with pepper, and the soup was chicken soup with bamboo fungus, which was not as good as ordinary cafeteria The dishes are different, it can be seen that they are freshly fried, and they are delicious in color, fragrance, but unfortunately I have something to worry about and I have no appetite, so I picked a few green vegetables and ate them slowly.

Xiao Ke hurried back to the office after twelve o'clock, and was relieved to see me eating: "There are a lot of things, I wanted to take you out to eat, but I didn't manage the time well, didn't you get hungry?"

I shook my head, he came over to have a look, frowned, went to make a phone call, and ordered a stir-fried lettuce, fungus and green celery, and a cup of fish porridge.Then he called the assistant to come in: "Remove these dishes, and the food will be delivered from the Zhuli Restaurant in a while. Remember the phone number there. If Xiao Wu is there in the future, order food there. The food should be light."

The female assistant blushed and stammered: "I'm sorry Mr. Xiao, these dishes are usually your favorite, and you usually eat them in the cafeteria with everyone, I thought..."

Xiao Ke waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go down." Then he said to me: "I have something to do later, I really don't have time to take you out to eat, you just make do with it, and I'll make it for you tonight."

Zhuli Restaurant was a restaurant I loved to eat in the past, and my heart was slightly sour. Mr. Xiao is from Hubei and has a strong taste. Xiao Ke has a strong taste due to the influence of his family, and he does not like meat.When I first lived with me, we had to put a seasoning plate next to our meals. All the cooking dishes were based on my light taste. At that time, I took it for granted. After all, it is okay to add a seasoning plate to the dishes. If the dishes are salty, then I will take a bite I couldn't even eat it. At that time, I liked to talk about the various hazards of high-salt and high-fat foods, forcing him to eat lightly like me, and I didn't even allow him to show the sauce.

When it is just Tao, it is common.

Looking back on it now, it's just overwhelming.

Not long after the food arrived, the taste was still the same, light and sweet. Xiao Ke also ate a bowl of porridge with me and put the bowl away. It seemed that he didn’t intend to eat it. Maybe the bland dishes still didn’t suit his appetite. If I knew I wouldn't have removed those dishes just now, I frowned. What's the use of him eating so much as an adult?Then I stood up and gave him a bowl. He was stunned for a moment, and I said softly, "Father said that adults should eat more than children."

Xiao Ke glanced at me and didn't say anything. Sure enough, he finished eating in two or three bites. Then he put the bowl and said to me: "There is a rest room inside, and they don't know to take you in. You are outside all day, so bored." Come on, I'll take you in for a lunch break."

The lounge is very clean. Someone must have changed the sheets and quilts regularly. I lay on the soft bed that exudes a pleasant fragrance. Within a few minutes, I felt that my eyelids were so heavy that I couldn’t lift them. As soon as my body warmed up, Xiao Ke untied his tie and took it off. He took off his coat, fell asleep wearing a shirt, turned sideways and naturally hugged me into his arms, and closed his eyes for a nap... He used to not take a lunch break, was a workaholic, and worked hard, and now he must be here to accompany me, I was thinking in a daze, but still fell into a dream.

This feeling was too sweet, maybe it was Xiao Ke’s affirmative promise, maybe it was a little guarantee in the future, I no longer have to face strange adopters, and I don’t need to face the too unknown future, this is already a comfort to me.The turmoil and rush of these days, the emotional surprise, the dull sadness and the tingling pain all seemed to fade away in Xiao Ke's familiar embrace. I relaxed and fell asleep soundly, so I slept until the sky was full of sunset.

The position of the setting sun outside the bright glass window tells me how long I have been sleeping in this afternoon. The room is full of red. When we fell asleep, the blackout curtains were drawn. Obviously, Xiao Ke didn’t want to suddenly wake up the sleeping me, expecting me to wake up naturally , so I opened the curtains to let in the natural light. It was like this in the past. If I wake up from unnatural disturbances in my sleep, I will have low air pressure for a long time. Therefore, if Xiao Ke is afraid that I have slept through, he usually opens the curtains to let the sunlight in. Come wake up my body.

I didn't expect that I would sleep for so long, Xiao Ke should be off work, I sat up, and found that the door of the lounge was not closed, leaving a gap, and there was a sound coming from outside.

"It's really not like you. You said that you got married and broke up, and now you're not even here anymore. Although it is said that death is the most important thing, but now your divorce is really harmful and has no benefit. Not only do you have to reunite Facing the pressure of being single and having no future, and paying Liao Ronghua a large amount of money and shares, don’t you say that what you did before was all in vain? Where is your shrewdness in business?”

"I'm not trying to persuade you, let alone say good things for Liao Ronghua. I just think it's not worth it for you. It's understandable that you didn't want to wrong him to be an underground lover. You wanted him to find a more suitable one. His people, but it’s already like this now, what’s the point of you doing these things, it’s better to live a good life and raise your children well to be worthy of the past affection. After all, isn’t this your original choice? I never saw you regret anything."

This tone of profit is Guan Linfeng. He is Xiao Ke's best friend in University. He has suffered emotional setbacks. He is also the manager of their company, and he has always been very clear about our affairs. In fact, I have never understood why Xiao Ke and him became friends. Their personalities are completely different. He is too enthusiastic. When he first started his business, Guan Linfeng was mostly in the public relations business. He never gave up in the most difficult times, so Xiao Ke has always valued him.

I held my breath and listened to the conversation outside, because I also wanted to know the answer——but Xiao Ke was never the type to talk with others, he just did not talk. I have been with him for so many years, and I have never heard him say a few words. A word of love, but I deeply know that he loves me, so in the end he decided to get married, and I also know that this is his choice-he loves me, but he has his responsibilities to bear.

After waiting for a long time, Xiao Ke said in a low voice: "I regret it. I didn't know it at the beginning, but I paid such a price."

Guan Linfeng was also silent: "This is fate, you don't have to take it on yourself."

Xiao Ke was quiet for a long time before he said in a low voice: "It's not fate, it's not to stay away from me, he won't run to a place as far away as South America."

After a while, Guan Linfeng tried to persuade him: "It is said that character determines destiny. After breaking up, how can you care about him for the rest of his life? Guan Sheng is too emotional, loves and hates too directly, and has a paranoid personality..."

Xiao Ke interrupted him: "So I shouldn't let him go out by himself, without me to take care of him, he will have a bad life."

Guan Linfeng couldn't take it anymore: "You still have such a tone of caring for children, everyone has a life to face, this is not a fairy tale world, you have enough water to drink, you protect Guansheng so well, you spoil everything He, he didn't know the pressure on you and the situation at that time, he just walked away without leaving any clues, and he didn't know how worried you were at that time..."

Xiao Ke interrupted him again: "No one else has the right to comment on the matter between Guan Sheng and me. I must divorce after marriage. I will make arrangements for the shares. Do you have anything else to do?" His tone cooled down. .

Guan Linfeng was at a loss for words, and after a while his tone softened and he said: "I know you are sad. After so many years of friendship, I also feel sad when I think of Guan Sheng. It's just that you have to take care of your own body. How ugly isn't it?"

It took a long time for Xiao Ke to say with some difficulty: "He died alone in a foreign land, but I did not find him. In the past days, although I had no contact, I can expect him to live well in a certain corner of the world. Forget about me, self-willed happiness, and now? The scenes of those days together in the past are vivid and vivid, jumping out at any time inadvertently, and then I realize that I have lost him forever, and the sting hits... This feeling, don’t you will understand."

Guan Linfeng didn't speak for a long time, and he forced a smile after a long time: "I heard that you brought Guan Sheng's adopted son here today. I originally wanted to come here to recognize him and give him a meeting gift along the way."

Xiao Ke snorted, and then I heard his footsteps coming towards the lounge.

I quickly lay down and pretended to just wake up.
