After leaving the moat, I did not go to the company, but to the vegetable market. While I was still in the morning market, I bought some fresh vegetables. It seemed that since last night, I have transformed into a person who pays attention to the details of life. I wanted to make a sumptuous lunch for Micai before going to the "Huifang Hotel".

Mi Cai and I have lived together for a long time. I know the taste of her meals and the dishes she likes to eat. They buy everything she likes to eat. At this moment, she needs me to give her considerate care in terms of food, clothing, daily life.

When she returned to her residence, Mi Cai had already gotten up. She cleaned the house very clean, washed off our dirty clothes, hung them in the best sunny position on the balcony, and drifted in the wind.

I put the purchased vegetables into the kitchen, and washed the bedding with her, including bedding, sheets, pillowcases, etc., and then sat on the sofa with relief and gasped together. After this busyness, we were a little tired because we hadn't done this housework for a long time.

Although I was curious about why she didn't go to Zhuomei, I didn't ask her because I didn't want to touch her sensitivity. Instead, she asked me: "Why did you come back so early?"

"I didn't go to the company... to find Jian Wei!... We have no disagreement. She has agreed to leave Luku. Regarding Luku, I have given me too much, so I don't want to take anything away, nor do I want to put financial pressure on it. I hope it can develop better, so like you, I'm almost gone!"

Mi Cai looked a little worried, looked at me with a complicated expression, and asked, "Don't you regret giving up Luku's company?... Maybe, there will be no such opportunity in your life!"

I shook my head: "I don't regret it...I had the idea of ​​leaving Luku a long time ago, but there were too many bonds in it and I had never made up my mind. This time I just thought about nothing, just like you... In fact, there is nothing wrong with returning to Xuzhou. He is about to retire. He worked hard for me all his life. Don't he just hope to have a support when he gets old? But I have been wandering for so many years. It's time to be filial!"

"Um......"

I looked around the old house that changed my life and finally asked Mi Cai: "We are going back to Xuzhou. What are you going to deal with this old house?"

"Stay here. We want to come to Suzhou in the future and have a place to live!"

I nodded and agreed to leave this old house because it has a great significance. It has taken in me who was in a down-and-out position, and it has also given me the opportunity to meet Mi Cai. My life in recent years seems to be under its leadership.

Mi Cai also asked me a question: "Zhaoyang, do you know what is left after we return to Xuzhou?"

"You and me, and then there is some money...it should be your car. Your car is good. I liked it very much at the first sight!"

"Apart from myself, everything else is the property of the company... and I can't take the villa that my uncle gave me, either. Zhaoyang, are you still willing to take me away with me who has nothing? Maybe for a long time, I will become your financial burden."

"What I want is you... I didn't plan to ask for too much. At worst, I can start from scratch. I think as long as we are together, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome... Come and hold me and feel how secure my body feels!"

"Narcissism!!" Mi Cai smiled, still took my arm, then leaned in my arms, closed her eyes, as if she was really feeling the sense of security on me with her heart, and I have indeed changed a lot over the past year because of her.

If I were still in those years when I like to be presumptuous, I would have been going to Fang Yuan to explain it in an extreme way. I think this is a kind of maturity. Now I know very well: only by protecting myself first can I truly protect Micai. I cannot always be dominated by impulses and let myself wander on the edge of the law.

Or, even if things come to this point, I can't have a good time with Fang Yuan, because Yan Yan is innocent and Mi Cai is innocent. If I really want to find an explanation for this matter, I should use the rules of the mall to solve it... But I am longing for an ordinary life and have no desire to fight! And what Fang Yuan has now is not what I want!

She seemed to enjoy my sense of security. After a while, she said to me again: "Zhaoyang, Mr. An of Tianyang Group asked us to have dinner tonight. You came back early after get off work. Although we failed to reach a cooperation with Tianyang Group this time, Mr. An also helped us a lot. We should express our gratitude to her."

"Well, I'll get off work early tonight and treat her to dinner!"

......

After having breakfast with Micai, I drove to the "Huifang Hotel", which was a small restaurant close to Zhuomei Shopping and Poly Department Store, but was hidden in an alley. In the past few years, Fang Yuan and I have regarded this place as a place for working meals countless times, but this time I don't know if he will come. The reason why I asked him to meet here was to see if he still remembers what he used to be, and if he could take off the wolf's skin and say a few words to me without hypocrisy.

The owner of "Huifang Hotel" is still standing at the door of the store to summon customers. Maybe since the last time I parted, I really thought I would not come again. When I appeared in front of her, she was very surprised and stopped greeting the customers. She asked me in confusion: "Are you here to have a meal?"

I shook my head and said, "I won't eat today, I just want to borrow this restaurant to sit..." As I said, I took out a hundred dollars from my wallet and handed it to her, and said, "Two people, just prepare some hot tea for us."

Perhaps because of the solemn look of my face, the boss's wife didn't ask any more questions, nor did she ask the hundred yuan in my hand, and led me to a smaller dining table and arranged for me to sit down. I subconsciously looked at the place. Everything was as old as before, but after today, I really won't come again in this life. I don't need nostalgia, and I don't need to talk about any brotherhood here!

I sent Fang Yuan another message to him that I had arrived, and sat in a familiar corner, waiting...

"Huifang Hotel" has a characteristic, or in other words, every restaurant in this alley has this characteristic. Some young people in the surrounding office buildings who have just joined the company always call themselves brothers and like to come here to eat work meals. They are full of ambitions and fearless, so they always hear their noise here and dare to raise beer bottles to collide in the cold weather. Indeed, in the long history of this alley, there was also a boss of a listed company and several top professional managers... They sometimes come here to miss the original friendship. Fang Yuan and I should have become one of this type of people, but they are all behind human nature and cannot catch the white clouds and goblins, and they eventually disappear!

Time passed minute by minute, and Fang Yuan had not arrived yet. I looked at my watch and it had been almost ten minutes since Zhuomei got off work. His failure to come finally made me feel anxious, but I still restrained myself and waited patiently...

At this time, I finally heard the voice of the boss's wife. She was talking to Fang Yuan: "Why are you here? You are still standing outside and smoking? I'm not a high-end restaurant, so I can't help smoking. Go in quickly. Zhaoyang has been waiting for you for a while!"

"No, after smoking this cigarette."

I also need cigarettes to face the brotherly relationship that I have been facing for ten years. I died in the greed of human nature. So I also lit a cigarette, and sucked it outside the house and inside the house. Two places that are close to each other but belong to different camps...

Half of my cigarette, he finally walked into the restaurant, subconsciously loosened his tie, and sat down opposite me... I raised my head, sucked half of the cigarette, and then spit out heavily from my mouth, trampling the cigarette butt under my feet, and asked: "The way you walked out today was the one you chose half a year ago... In the past six months..." I shook my head and smiled, gritting my teeth: "In the past six months, you are just pretending to be a grandson, telling lies, and doing fake things... How can you survive? What makes you feel no guilt when facing me, calling brother on the left and brother on the right...? Thinking of these, I feel fucking disgusting!"

Fang Yuan lit another cigarette, and the wedding ring on his left ring finger was particularly conspicuous. Until he was about to finish smoking, he looked up at me and said, "I can call you brother because I have always regarded you as a brother and have never changed... But I have my taboos, just like you have your taboos, we are a kind of people, all living to get rid of taboos... but our taboos are different... Do you understand the pain of being forbidden... You must understand, because you live too much more than me."

"My taboo comes from the absurdity of this world, but your taboo comes from ugly desires... Fangyuan, you are not worthy of saying the word "brother" or being a human being! Because you have no bottom line and no moral constraints!"

"If you asked me out to say this... then you can say it as much as you want, or if you think you can change something after you say it, I hope you can say it with pleasure!"

I was heartbroken and cursed in a suffocation: "You are a fucking patient...! Shameless!"

Fang Yuan smiled, lowered his head and sucked the cigarette in his hand, and did not raise his head again, and replied: "The end of life must be death... I just want to make myself live better before this end is coming. This is my position, and I must also live for this position, otherwise I will not find the sense of security to live, and life is too fragile...!"

"Okay...this is your position. Then tell me, after you shamelessly defended your position, what did you get from Zhuomei?...Is even Yan Yan, the scattered wife, a shameless victim...The next step, you should put Mi Lan, a woman as dirty as you, in your life, on the same position as Yan Yan? Even higher?"
