That past love

It’s precisely ten o’clock within the morning on Sunday.

There’s a couple of prospects within the cafe, and light-weight music flows slowly. A big space of ​​daylight comes not directly via the floor-to-ceiling home windows, nonetheless carrying the golden yellow of the morning.

Wen Xia silently regarded on the settlement on the desktop.

The white paper is a bit reflective, and the massive “marriage settlement” on the quilt of the settlement was nearly swallowed by the solar.

“You possibly can take a more in-depth look, and if there’s nothing unsuitable, simply signal it.” The person on the opposite facet checked out his watch, he was in a go well with and leather-based sneakers with a chilly face.

As quickly as Wen Xia noticed him, he pushed the settlement ahead, he leaned again, : “Why, in a rush?”

Lin Feng Qi had no expression on his face: “I’ve a gathering at 11 o’clock. ”

Wen Xia: “Oh, isn’t it nonetheless an hour? What’s the hurry?”

Lin Feng Qi: “…”

The particular person on the opposite facet was so severe, Wen Xia was feeling slightly bit awkward,so he picked up the settlement on the desk and slowly regarded via it-actually he wasn’t it in any respect.

He’s slightly flustered now.

Is he actually going to get married? With Lin Feng Qi?

Is it too late to run now?

Lets end the espresso earlier than working?

If he runs away, the duck that’s near your mouth will fly… However this fucking particular person is Lin Feng Qi! Lin Feng Qi!

Wen Xia needed to root Huazi at this second.

[tl: “Let’s root Huazi , an internet buzzword , Huazi” comes from a series of videos on the street (gāi) Liuzi by President Li of Douyin. Huazi refers to Chinese cigarettes.]

He doesn’t have to return an excessive amount of in flashbacks, simply return to what occurred yesterday.

A month in the past, the highschool class group that had been silent for a very long time immediately shook, and the monitor yelled: Classmates, I watch the celebs at night time, pinch your fingers, let’s get collectively!

That is acquainted in summer season. The final class reunion was two years in the past, and the one earlier than that was 4 years in the past.

Since commencement, class reunions have been held 5 occasions, apart from the primary and second one 12 months aside, and two years later. Wen Xia didn’t attend.

Yesterday, Saturday, it occurred for the fifth time.

Wen Xia all the time thinks that “5” is an efficient quantity, identical to his pupil quantity was 05 in highschool. What sort of abundance of grains, studying wealth and 5 automobiles, 5 blessings… How favorable and joyous.

However yesterday’s “5” was not very fantastic.

Classmates gathering actions are totally deliberate by the category chief. The preparations for the entire day are as follows: collect within the morning, go to the farmhouse, play playing cards within the afternoon, have an out of doors barbecue within the night, drink slightly wine, chat slightly day, play slightly sport, after which finish the assembly.

Because the deputy monitor, Wen Xia is answerable for recording and counting the variety of folks.

He has a headache each time. The primary two occasions when he didn’t take part, the work was additionally for the squad chief. Later, when he participated, it fell on him.

Not everybody seems to be on the class group chat. The primary two years have been tremendous. Every so often, somebody would come out to speak a couple of phrases, after which it steadily fell silent. Solely when the category chief greeted everybody to debate the classmates reunion did it get hotter once more. When you don’t take a look at the category group chat, it doesn’t imply you gained’t come to the category reunion. So when mandatory, Wen Xia needed to message them one after the other, asking them in the event that they needed to come back to the social gathering.

Amongst them was Lin Feng Qi who Wen Xia hesitated to ask.

Lin Feng Qi is his ill-fated love.

Wen Xia had cash in his household, and he had lived the times of enjoyment since he was a baby, after which he met Lin Feng Qi.

He and Lin Feng Qi weren’t in the identical class at first. Lin Feng Qi was within the prime class when he entered faculty. He was completely different. He nearly went to the tip of the crane class. Lin Feng Qi, like his title, is a person of honor in class, taking the primary place in grade for 3 years. Good development, good research, robust athletic means, eye-catching wherever he goes, and a kaolin flower.

Wen Xia preferred Lin Feng Qi for 3 years, and chased him repeatedly for 3 years. Underneath the breakdown, Lin Feng Qi’s angle in the direction of him was mainly divided into the next classes:

“Don’t contact me,”

“Don’t take a look at me.”

“Keep away.”

Briefly, it’s: I don’t such as you.

Wen Xia actually requested him if he didn’t like boys in any respect, and if that’s the case, he would by no means hassle him. There’s a saying, don’t get near straight males or you’ll turn out to be unlucky.

However Lin Feng Qi has not answered this query for 3 years. So Wen Xia thought, might it’s that that is what he needs to do? However he waited and waited, chasing and chasing, however he didn’t seize him. He was exhausted bodily and mentally.

Archimedes mentioned, give me a lever, and I can shake the earth. Wen Xia needs to say that I can’t even pry the particular person I like.

He has heard that the younger grasp has been calling the wind and rain for greater than ten years, how might he have been so disgraced? He was discouraged, and shook his hand. Who would like to serve? If he can, can he not like him?

It coincided with the commencement of the third 12 months of highschool. Wen Xia mentioned that he was detached, so he parted methods with Lin Feng Qi.

Because the saying goes, love and hatred are multi function thought. An individual like Wen Xia who has been accustomed to being proud since childhood can’t assist gritting his tooth each time he thinks about this primary love expertise. Anyway, it’s proper to have grievances in your coronary heart.

That is additionally the rationale why he selected to not attend the primary two class gatherings. He didn’t wish to meet Lin Feng Qi. Later, he requested the monitor who was going and who was not going.

After studying that Lin Feng Qi had one thing to do, he fortunately signed up.

Each time he counted the variety of folks, he bit his hand and went to speak about Lin Feng Qi privately, and all he received was a chilly sentence:I gained’t go.

Wen Xia breathed a sigh of reduction and felt panicked.

Anyway, it’s an outdated classmate, can’t the angle be slightly bit extra enthusiastic? Who cares about you going?

Nonetheless, the one who mentioned he couldn’t attend this class reunion, immediately appeared on the farmhouse yesterday afternoon. It simply occurred that they have been going to barbecue outdoor, and so they have been slightly shocked once they noticed him.

the squad chief got here out and actively claimed: “Blame me, blame me, I forgot to inform you. Lin Feng Qi got here right here at present after ending the enterprise, proper?”

Lin Feng Qi mentioned quietly: “Yeah.”

Then his eyes shifted to Wen Xia reverse to him.

Wen Xia reacted shortly and started to consolation himself. It was okay, with so many individuals, it will be tremendous if he didn’t discuss to Lin Feng Qi. For outdated classmates who haven’t been in contact for a few years, it’s regular to be alienated.

He ignored Lin Feng Qi, till after the barbecue, everybody sat round ingesting and chatting, in all probability as a result of they drank an excessive amount of. When some folks drifted, they didn’t open the door. One among them immediately known as Wen Xia and mentioned: “Wen Xia, I’ll inform you quietly that my uncle is engaged on a giant undertaking just lately. Return and discuss to your dad. When you like, I’ll let my uncle take your dad… ”

he couldn’t end, as a result of the following particular person poked him. The one who poked him smiled awkwardly at Wen Xia, saying that he was drunk, and he beloved to brag when he was drunk, you already know.

Wen Xia hasn’t mentioned something, and the one who was stabbed is sad: “What are you doing? What’s so laborious to say? Wen Xia shouldn’t be as cautious as you’re. Individuals who begin an organization are additionally excellent at beginning an organization… …Am I unsuitable Wen Xia?”

He was drunk, what he mentioned was not malicious, however his phrases appeared so sarcastic.

In highschool, who didn’t know that Wen Xia’s household was so well-known and Jingui was extraordinarily costly. The eldest grasp waved his hand and known as out his companions. However in his senior 12 months, the household enterprise had an accident. His father was pitied by his companions, and most of his household’s internet price fell, which led to a sequence of repairs, compensation, and lawsuits.

After tossing it down, the phrase “household path” was used to explain Wen Xia, which couldn’t be extra acceptable.

On the time when Wen Xia graduated from College, he had simply established his personal small studio. After this incident, the studio disappeared. Till now, his household nonetheless owes a number of money owed that haven’t been paid off.

It’s not that there aren’t any classmates within the class who’ve an excellent basis at residence. The information unfold in a short time on this circle. It didn’t take lengthy for it to unfold amongst outdated classmates.

Everybody is aware of that the golden and treasured younger grasp is now down.

The ambiance immediately grew to become heavy, Wen Xia ignored it, and requested the squad chief for a drink.

As quickly as I opened the tab, he heard Lin Feng Qi, who was sitting subsequent door, ask, “Is your uncle known as Qian Wen Li?”

The person mentioned: “Sure, I keep in mind now, Mr. Lin. Do you know my uncle? I heard my uncle speak about you. You’re the greatest in our class now.” He mentioned drunkenly, elevating a thumb in exaggeration.

If we are saying that Wen Xia and Lin Feng Qi are the distinction between cloud and dust when it comes to household circumstances, then Wen Xia is the cloud, and Lin Feng Qi is the unfold of mud. The one downside of the Kaolin Flower that grows properly and learns properly is that the household is poor. Despite his personal excellence, the poverty of his household nonetheless introduced him quite a lot of gossip.

However now, the distinction between cloud and dust remains to be the distinction between cloud and dust, however now it’s reversed. When Lin Feng Qi was nonetheless in faculty, he adopted a senior who had already entered the society to do tasks, from momentary work exterior the employees to beginning his personal enterprise after commencement. In only a few years, the corporate has gained a repute within the business, and now outdated classmates need to ridicule “Mr. Lin” once they speak about it.

It’s embarrassing.

Wen Xia sighed in his coronary heart whereas ingesting whereas holding the beer. Nonetheless, he isn’t stunned that Lin Feng Qi can obtain what he has now. In different phrases, he has all the time recognized that he’s so good, so long as he needs to do it, he will likely be profitable.

As for different folks’s enterprise, he doesn’t care.

Whether or not life is nice or dangerous is one’s personal, no matter what others suppose.

He pretended to casually look at Lin Feng Qi, who nonetheless has a chilly and detached face of the uninteresting world, he mentioned: “He didn’t get that undertaking, I did.”

As quickly because the phrases got here out, the scene was quiet once more.

The person’s face turned from blue to white, after which from white to pink, and was choked into speechlessness for some time. Wen Xia thought that his classmates’ happiness was actually false.

In the long run, the squad chief got here ahead to loosen up the subject. He advised enjoying video games, and Wen Xia took the chance to win a couple of extra.

Later, the group ingesting broke up, and everybody went again to the town in twos and threes in keeping with the plan mentioned within the afternoon.

Lin Feng Qi got here right here right now. He known as Wen Xia to a quiet distance, after which mentioned: “Wen Xia, marry me.” His tone was as flat as to say: The moon is kind of spherical at present.

Wen Xia nearly slipped and fell into the river.

Lin Feng Qi reached out and helped him.

He stood hurriedly, his mind clean. After a very long time of shock, he mentioned with issue, “What?”

Lin Feng Qi mentioned, “I’m proposing.”

“To whom?”

“You.”

Wen Xia couldn’t consider it: “Are you loopy or am I loopy? Are you drunk, massive brother?”

Lin Feng Qi: “I’m not.”

Wen Xia needed to say one thing, however noticed the opposite particular person. Seeing the chilly and calm expression, he immediately calmed down. The Lin Feng Qi he knew was not such an off-the-cuff and an odd particular person, there should be some purpose.

It has been solely three years since same-sex marriage was opened. In contrast with the previous, there at the moment are extra same-sex {couples} holding arms and strolling collectively on the road. Actually, there aren’t so many individuals who actually go to get certificates and maintain weddings-these aren’t the purpose.

Wen Xia: “Inform me your purpose.”

Lin Feng Qi paused, and mentioned, “Present it to my mom.”

Mom Lin shouldn’t be in good well being, Wen Xia is aware of. Lin Feng Qi’s household was poor as a result of his mom was usually hospitalized, and the aged within the household have been additionally very outdated at the moment, with severe and minor diseases, and the entire household was struggling to assist her with Father Lin’s wage alone. He needed to deal with his spouse’s mother and father to see a physician, and he had to offer for his son to review, and the standard household background was shortly emptied.

Lin Feng Qi mentioned that his father handed away attributable to overwork when he was in faculty, and now he and his mom are left within the household. And his mom’s physique, which had been improved, collapsed once more due to Father Lin. She had been in mattress for a number of years.

Wen Xia understood: “So your mom’s solely want now’s to see you get married?”

Lin Feng nodded.

“You… got here out together with your mom?” Wen Xia regarded sophisticated.

“Yeah.”

Mom Lin’s present state might be mentioned to have seen via life and demise, and he or she has counted the time to reside her life. A lot in order that after understanding that her son likes males, she was solely briefly shocked, and shortly digested it by herself, and sighed in sorrow: “It’s tremendous so that you can have an excellent time. As for different issues…”

As for different issues, she simply needed to die on her personal. She needs to see her son arrange a household earlier than.

Now that the enterprise is established, the house has not but been accomplished.

[tl: successful at work but still not married]

Wen Xia might perceive the rationale, however he nonetheless didn’t perceive: “Why me?”

Lin Feng Qi stood up and remained silent for a very long time.

Wen Xia remembered what he mentioned on the wine bureau and his(LFQ) chilly angle in highschool. He couldn’t assist however smirk: “Lin Feng Qi, are you humiliating me?”

Lin Feng Qi frowned, and mentioned indifferently, “That is an employment.” , I’ll pay.”

Perhaps it was alcohol. Wen Xia checked out his face that had light from highschool, and nodded in settlement.

——So there was a gathering on the cafe the following day.

Now that he’s sober, Wen Xia regrets a bit, did he promise too merely? What’s the distinction between this and begging for glory! He heard that regardless of how determined he was, regardless of how a lot debt he owed, he couldn’t do such a spineless factor!

He thought, wanting down angrily, his eyes widened , after which raised his head to have a look at Lin Feng Qi in shock.

Lin Feng Qi’s again was unfastened, sitting upright, and mentioned, “That’s your month-to-month wage.”

Wen Xia firmed up and requested him, “Do you might have a pen?”

Lin Feng Qi handed him a pen.

He took it, signed his title twice, and smiled at Lin Feng: “Comfortable cooperation, President Lin.”

He didn’t wish to.

However Lin Feng Qi gave an excessive amount of.

Getting married he can earn 200,000 yuan a month, it’s actually attractive.
