Duan Yu came to the village committee and saw the village committee lights on from a distance. When he got closer, he saw Xu Guoqing drinking wine by himself.
If it had been before, Duan Yu would have opened the door without hesitation and had a drink with him, but since he and Xu Caifeng got married, everything has changed, and they no longer talk about everything.
He originally wanted to return to his dormitory quietly, but he had to pass through the office window to go back to the dormitory, and Xu Guoqing discovered Duan Yu anyway.
"Duan Yu!" Xu Guoqing shouted.
Duan Yu reluctantly stopped, paused, and said, "Dad, you are here too!"
"Come in and have a drink with me!" Xu Guoqing said.
Duan Yu wanted to refuse, but he was depressed now, so he simply walked in. Xu Guoqing handed him a cup and poured him a glass of wine.
"Duan Yu, how long has it been since we drank together? Probably since you married Caifeng! We used to be closer, but now it feels like we are separated from each other?" Xu Guoqing took a sip of wine and said.
Duan Yu also raised his glass and said, "Dad, you are the elder. We used to be colleagues with different identities. We could still call you brothers when we were drunk. But not anymore. I can never treat you as a brother and drink together!"
"Haha, yes, identity will change a lot of things!" Xu Guoqing took another sip of wine.
"Dad, drink less, Mom is still angry at home!" Duan Yu reminded him.
"If she's angry, let her be angry. I've made you laugh today!" Xu Guoqing said with a wry smile.
"No, Dad, but I think Mom is a little too much towards Yang Xiaowei!" Duan Yu said boldly
"Your mother is used to being flamboyant and domineering. She hopes that everyone in the family will listen to her and revolve around her. She is the truth itself. It is impossible to reason with her." Xu Guoqing clinked glasses with Duan Yu.
Duan Yu didn't comment. After all, Xu Guoqing and Yang Damei were husband and wife. He couldn't express his dissatisfaction with Yang Damei in front of Xu Guoqing.
Xu Guoqing drank glass after glass of wine as if drinking water, and Duan Yu tried to dissuade him to no avail.
"Duan Yu, drink. Do you look down on me and don't even want to drink?" Xu Guoqing said with a loud tongue.
"No, Dad, you drank too much, let me help you go to rest!" Duan Yu said.
"Duan Yu, dad knows you don't love Caifeng!" Xu Guoqing said.
Duan Yu slowly put Xu Guoqing down and instantly slumped.
"Really? You married someone you didn't love, and you were in pain! Am I right?" Xu Guoqing asked.
Duan Yu raised his wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp without saying anything.
"Duan Yu, it's so hard to be a man! It's painful to marry a woman you don't love, and it's also painful to meet someone you like at the wrong time!" Xu Guoqing sat down and poured wine again.
Duan Yu looked at Xu Guoqing. He knew that Xu Guoqing had something on his mind. What Yang Damei said today was that Xu Guoqing was thinking about other women. Could it be that Xu Guoqing, like him, married a woman he didn't love?
"Dad, you also married a woman you don't love? But you and mom are a model couple that everyone admires!" Duan Yu said.
Duan Yu could always feel the love between Xu Guoqing and Yang Damei at home. Sometimes even he envied such love.
"Haha, that's just a superficial phenomenon. When people make mistakes, they always have to find ways to make up for it. Duan Yu, dad made mistakes when he was young and made up for it in his whole life. You should treat Caifeng well and don't let yourself feel guilty for the rest of your life!" Xu Guoqing said .
"Dad, have you ever thought about ending all this and pursuing what you want?" Duan Yu was also a little drunk.
"End? How to end? Family, children, parents, it affects the whole body. I can't afford this price, I can't afford it, Duan Yu, it's so difficult for a man!" Xu Guoqing said loudly.
Duan Yu still can't understand what Xu Guoqing said. As far as he is concerned, except for his parents, his family members don't know that he is married. When the service period is over, he and Xu Caifeng can divorce their marriage and leave this ghost. It’s a place, Xu Caifeng, go to hell with all our gossip!
Apart from the child in Xu Caifeng's belly, there seemed to be nothing for him to consider. He had also thought that Xu Caifeng would definitely not give it to him when the child was born, and he did not want it. Children are the crystallization of love. If he does not love the mother of the child, it is impossible to love the child.
He once thought silently that if Xu Caifeng had a miscarriage, everything would be fine and he wouldn't have to think about the child anymore. He could also take the opportunity to get divorced. But every time he thought about it, he fell into deep self-blame. How could he So cold-blooded?
Xu Guoqing stood up unsteadily and took out the phone from his pocket. Even though he was drunk, he could still remember the number clearly.
The number had not been stored on his mobile phone for a long time, but after so many years, he could still recite it by heart. On nights like this, how many times had he taken out his mobile phone, silently entered the number, and deleted it again. He never dared to dial the number, nor did he. Do you know that number? Does the owner still use it?
Duan Yu stood up crookedly, looked at Xu Guoqing's cell phone, laughed, and said, "Old Xu, whose... phone is it? Call... ah! What are you doing mother-in-law?"
"Shh..." Xu Guoqing put his hand to his mouth and said, "No hitting!"
"If there's anything you can't call, come here and let me help you!" Duan Yu grabbed Xu Guoqing's phone and pressed the dial button.
"No!" Xu Guoqing rushed to grab the phone, but unexpectedly one of them failed to stand still and fell to the ground.
The phone rang several times, but no one answered. Duan Yu smiled and said, "Old Xu, no one answered. Did you dial the wrong number?"
"Haha, I haven't called in many years, maybe I changed my number!" Xu Guoqing woke up a little, "hang up!"
"Hey!" came a female voice.
Xu Guoqing was startled. He was completely drunk and woke up. He knew this voice even if he hadn't heard it for many years.
"Hey!" Another voice came from the other side.
Xu Guoqing was a little nervous and didn't know how to respond.
"Is something wrong? If you don't speak, I will die!" the other party continued.
Xu Guoqing took the phone and said, "It's me!" Xu Guoqing finally said two words.
"I know!" the other party said lightly.
"I dialed out accidentally and disturbed your sleep!" Xu Guoqing said.
"Oh, I didn't expect you to still have my number after all these years!" the other party said, with no discernible emotion.
"I forgot to delete it," Xu Guoqing said harshly.
"Oh, Xu Guoqing, do you regret it?" the other party suddenly asked.
"I..." Before Xu Guoqing could speak, a man's voice came from the phone, "Yinxia, whose call is it so late?"
"Wrong call!" Li Yinxia hurriedly hung up the phone.
Xu Guoqing froze on the spot, listening to the busy tone of the phone. Duan Yu knew that Xu Guoqing must have a deep love hidden in his heart.
"Old Xu, are you okay?" Duan Yu said with a smile.
"Whatever happens, it's all in the past! Haha!" Xu Guoqing laughed.
"Do you love the woman on the phone very much?" Duan Yu asked.
"Love? What is love? Love that is not accepted by the world is deformed and shady!" Xu Guoqing laughed, "Duan Yu, do you believe it? I used to be a suave and talented man, but look at me now. To become a serious village director, one has to surrender to fate!" Xu Guoqing laughed.
"But, your children have grown up, haven't you ever thought about living for yourself?" Duan Yu asked.
"Living for yourself? It's too difficult!" Xu Guoqing shook his head, "Duan Yu, you are still young, have you ever thought about living for yourself?"
"I will definitely live for myself. I don't want to live in pain like you!" Duan Yu said firmly.
After Duan Yu finished speaking, he looked at Xu Guoqing. At some point, Xu Guoqing had fallen asleep on the table.
Duan Yu looked at him. This village director, who was usually aloof and superior, turned out to have an unknown side. As expected, no one had an easy life.
Li Yinxia lay back on the bed, thinking about the phone call just now. She didn't save Xu Guoqing's phone number, but she couldn't be more familiar with that number.
After so many years, Xu Guoqing has never called him once. He knows that Xu Guoqing has become the village director, knows that he and Yang Damei are in love and are a model couple in the village, and knows that he is living a good life.
She hated Xu Guoqing and his ruthlessness. It was obviously consensual, but she didn't even say goodbye. She once thought about breaking the jar and smashing it. As long as Xu Guoqing dared, she was not afraid of anything. But Xu Guoqing backed down and everything changed. Without being exposed, she didn't even have a chance to cause trouble.
She thought that her hatred for Xu Guoqing would be unforgettable and be regarded as her lifelong career. However, when they met again, she discovered that she loved as much as she hated in her heart. Maybe, what you can't get is always the best. of.
She was drunk that day, but she clearly remembered Xu Guoqing's face. She found that she couldn't help but miss him, and she recalled the ups and downs of those days when they recited poems and competed in school together.
In fact, she wanted to call several times, but her strong self-esteem stopped her. Until Xu Guoqing called, she was so excited that she was afraid of waking up Li Yaohui next to her. She hurriedly ran to the bathroom and answered the phone tremblingly.
Even now when she was lying in bed, she couldn't help but be excited. She was sure that Xu Guoqing missed her as much as she missed him, otherwise he wouldn't have made this call. As soon as this thought came to her mind, she became happy while sleeping. So much so that I didn't sleep all night.
As she thought about it, she looked at Li Yaohui beside her. They were also a model couple. Li Yaohui was the principal of a primary school. They were a husband and a wife, which was enviable. Li Yaohui was gentle and considerate, but love was not something that could happen to everyone. .
Li Yaohui lacked passion for her. Li Yaohui loved her like a treasure in his hand. He was cautious even in the rain. She always thought of Xu Guoqing's wildness and the sneaky pleasure. Over the years, she had been in love with her. Li Yaohui's body and heart could not really tolerate it for a moment.
"Yinxia, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Li Yaohui reached out and touched her head while sleeping, "Why are you tossing and turning?"
"It's nothing. I took a nap during the day and couldn't sleep a little!" Li Yinxia said hurriedly.
Li Yaohui stretched out his arm, took her into his arms, and said, "Yinxia, promise me not to drink anymore. Look, I was drunk last week and lost fluids for a few days. My whole body has lost weight!"
"I know, but sometimes, being drunk feels pretty good!" Li Yinxia said.
"Nonsense, you get allergic when you drink, and you don't know how to take care of yourself. It's you who suffers!" Li Yaohui said.
"Unless you don't drink either!" Li Yinxia rolled her eyes at him.
"If you don't want to drink, you won't drink. My wife's words are the imperial edict, and I will definitely obey it!" Li Yaohui gently kissed Li Yinxia's forehead.
Li Yinxia felt a little moved, so she kissed Li Yaohui back and said, "Go to sleep!"
"Let's go to the city where our son is studying in college for a few days during the holidays, and pick him up and come back with us!" Li Yaohui said.
"Okay!" Li Yinxia said softly.
She felt that she was a two-faced person. She was moved by Li Yaohui's love for her, but she couldn't let go of her love for Xu Guoqing. There were two villains fighting in her heart. She knew that she was not a good woman.
The next day, Xu Guoqing woke up first and saw Duan Yu lying next to him. He pushed him and said, "Duan Yu, wake up!"
Duan Yu woke up, saw Xu Guoqing, and remembered Xu Guoqing's phone call last night. He couldn't let Xu Guoqing know that he still remembered what happened last night, otherwise Xu Guoqing would definitely be embarrassed.
"Dad, how much wine did we drink last night, it's all broken!" Duan Yu said, covering his head.
Xu Guoqing looked at the wine bottles on the ground and saw that he had indeed drank a lot. "Duan Yu, please don't talk nonsense about what happened last night!"
Duan Yu pretended to be confused and said, "What's the matter? Dad, we drank together last night. We haven't drank together during this time. You have a good drinking capacity. I don't know or remember anything!"
"It's okay if you don't remember. Let's go back!" Xu Guoqing said.
"Forget it, I'll sleep a little longer, I have to go to work soon!" Duan Yu said.
"No, you have to go home with me, otherwise you won't be able to explain clearly and your mother will interrogate you for a long time!" Xu Guoqing said.
"Okay!" Duan Yu said, "I'll go back and see Caifeng too!"
So the two of them walked home tacitly. On the way, they met Chunxiu, who seemed to be dressed up but looked different from before.
"Chunxiu, where are you going so early in the morning?" Xu Guoqing asked politely.
Chunxiu glanced at Xu Guoqing. This village director usually had a serious look. She used to go to their house to play, and the three of them were talking and laughing. When Xu Guoqing came back, she felt extremely uncomfortable and didn't even dare to laugh. , today he suddenly spoke to her very gently, which surprised her.
"I...I'll go over there to help!" Chunxiu said hurriedly.
"Help? Who is doing something? Why didn't I hear about it?" Xu Guoqing asked strangely.
"It's not about doing errands, it's Uncle Benshan's house who has started digging the foundation. I'm going to help Aunt Qiaozhen cook!" Chunxiu said.
"Oh, his house has started to dig the foundation. That's pretty fast!" After Xu Guoqing finished speaking, he walked a few steps forward, then turned back and said, "Chunxiu, come to play at home when you have time. Caifeng doesn't have anything to do. My friend, I am close to you. Now she is pregnant and loves to think wildly. Please come and enlighten her more!"
Chunxiu snorted in her heart. Now she had no time to care about Caifeng's affairs. This Xu Caifeng did one thing to her face and another behind her back. She didn't help her in any way with Xu Jiahang. She was not a friend. , luckily she had always taken care of her as a sister.
