C33

When I heard the familiar voice, my whole body quivered and immediately cleared up.

The owner of the voice has not contacted me for a long time.

"Didn't you say you'd wait until after the new year to come back?"

I was stunned upon hearing this news.

"If I remember correctly, I said this to you last year."

The voice on the other end of the line was magnetic, in contrast to 13, an addictive voice.

"Where are you now?"

After a long pause, I didn't know what to say.

"At the airport."

"Let me pick you up …"

"Alright."

No, just a short word of courtesy.

I immediately got up from the bed and got dressed. Before I left the room, I looked at myself and nodded my head in satisfaction. I couldn't find anything wrong with myself.

After driving for almost an hour, they finally arrived at the airport, and just as they arrived, they saw Zhou Zijin waving at them.

I got out of the car and helped him pack. When he saw that I was alone, he smiled and said, "Why are you alone now? What about your old drivers? "

"I'm getting on in age and think it's more reasonable to drive by myself." I sat in the driver's seat, buckling on my seat belt.

I don't know how to explain the existence of Thirteen.

Because no matter what I said, it seemed a bit unnecessary.

"I don't think you have a place to stay right now. Come to my place first."

I said, like an old friend, and did my part.

He didn't bother with me and just nodded his head in agreement.

I don't know why, but it's only been half a year since we've seen each other, but the relationship between the two of us is already a bit strained.

"Why did you suddenly want to come back? I've heard that you and your wife are getting along very well... "I thought you guys had made up …"

I said casually as I drove, but in the rearview mirror I saw his face darken.

He didn't say anything more, and the atmosphere in the car turned awkward.

Oh, that's right, I forgot to introduce him. This man sitting in the front seat is called Zhou Zijin, he's eight years older than me.

In our circle, he is already young and promising, even though he has reached a new age.

He's an old friend of mine and Lin Mu's, as well as one of the shareholders in Ye’s. It's precisely because of his existence that those old fellows have to give him some face whenever they want to make fun of me.

I got to know him after I married Lin Mu, he was very close to him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped me establish my Ye’s after Lin Mu passed away.

It can be said that he is not only my big brother, he is also my excellent partner.

As their relationship grew closer, he knew almost everything about me in his daily life, and I knew everything that had happened to him.

He had a wife, and they had married when he was twenty-eight.

The reason for marriage is simple. In our circle, people often don't form families for love, because everyone is very realistic. They usually only use money to trace the benefits.

The reason why Zhou Zijin chose to start a family with his wife at that time was because his father's days were numbered, and he hoped that he could quickly get married.

It would be a joke to say how much affection there was between the two of them. It was also for this reason that he and his wife had always been in a state of estrangement.

The reason why the two of them had dragged things out until now was simply because of the unequal distribution of their wealth after their marriage.

I had always been close to him, because he had always been by my side when I was in the most difficult times. Of course, this was only if I didn't know that he had a wife …

As he drove, he recalled the past and unknowingly, he had already arrived at his house. I parked the car and opened the door with my key.

"It's been a long time since I've been here …"

Zhou Zijin's voice sounded very melancholy.

"This place is still the same as before. Take a seat." I went into the living room and sat down. I looked up at him, indicating that he was at ease.

"Only here do I feel that my feet are firmly planted on the ground." he said, looking me in the eye.

However, I avoided it guiltily, and a strange feeling welled up in my heart.

This feeling was very uncomfortable.

"I'll get you some water."

I remember his habit, the good pre-rain dragonwell at the beginning of the year.

When I came up to him with my tea, he held a gray T-shirt in his hand and studied it.

"Got a target?" I placed the tea in front of him and looked at the clothes in his hands, not knowing how to respond.

The clothes are 13, remind him how many times, don't throw the clothes everywhere, he just can't remember!

"What's wrong?" I didn't answer his question directly.

He put down his gray T-shirt, picked up the ashtray on the sofa, and said to himself, "You don't smoke, and you don't bring your partner home."

After pausing for a moment, he continued, "I just went to the bathroom, and there are some male products there. All these years, besides Lin Mu and I, there haven't been any other men around you.

I knew that I could no longer remain silent.

"Zi Jin, you must be exhausted after coming back just now. Let's put these problems aside for now …"

But before I finished speaking, Zhou Zijin had already interrupted me.

"Xiao Ye, you should have told me. I thought, given my place in your heart, at least, you would tell me. But you didn't. "

"I don't know what to say."

Yes, I admit that my relationship with Zhou Zijin is not ordinary, but that was just to put an end to it.

I didn't have to explain so much to him if I wanted to.

"I don't have any other intentions, Xiao Ye. It's just that, if you already have a suitable other half, it would be unreasonable for me to stay here …" As he spoke, he suddenly smiled.

"I forgot to tell you... Xiao Ye, I got a divorce. "

The news exploded in my mind like a bomb, and I looked up at him in surprise.

This man truly did have a unique charm. He had a different appearance from 13, but he had an emotional temperament. It was precisely this kind of temperament that would easily cause others to become addicted to him.

He put his hand on mine, and the heat from his palm slowed my heartbeat. "Now I'm as free as you are."

How could I not understand what he was saying? We're all adults.

Besides, if it wasn't for the news that he's already married, I'm afraid we'd be in a different kind of relationship … However, everything was different now. Everything was different now.

I have to face it.
