A ten-year rival in love

Chapter 82

There are more things waiting for Li Xu to deal with than he expected.As the end of the year approached, the former assistant was still lying half dead in the hospital—the last time Li Xu saw him was to collect evidence—so now he can be regarded as a loner, and he has to do everything by himself.

Fortunately, Li Yansheng will also help him with some paperwork and chores. Although it is a drop in the bucket, it will be useful anyway.

Fortunately, he is an old man in the law firm, and he is one of the trump cards in charge. If he were to be replaced by someone else, he would have been dismissed for hundreds of years with so many public injuries.

Li Xu sat in the office for a whole day. In the past, or a few months ago, such a state was very normal for him.But now, looking at those endless paperwork, he actually has a headache, and wants to postpone it for a few days before doing it slowly.

I still miss Lu Hui a little bit.

As soon as this idea popped up in his mind, it clung to him as if he had been poisoned.He looked at the wall clock on the wall from time to time, and found that there was still an hour before the end of get off work.

This is really...

Li Xu smiled helplessly.Life feels like years.

Li Yansheng walked out of the office with him at the same time, and was very surprised when he saw him: "You don't work overtime?"

"We'll talk about it when we get home." Li Xu said, "I can't keep up with so much overtime."

"You don't work overtime?" Li Yansheng was still surprised.

"Yes." Li Xu said, "I'm still a patient."

"Is there a time when you don't work overtime?" Li Yansheng babbled after him, "You have changed Brother Xu, you were not like this before, you have become a foolish king. From now on, that king will not go to court early..."

Li Xu smiled angrily: "Is it over?"

"Be good." Li Yansheng said, "It's so amazing, you didn't like to smile like this before."

"How did I like to laugh?" Li Xu asked seriously.

Li Yansheng put his hands behind his back: "Just talk about it, it's true, it's very fake. It's different now, it's very cheerful, and it's a nice smile. Let me tell you, you should smile so much earlier. The lesbians in the office are all I can't run away, I'll be so fascinated by you..."

Li Xu cleared his throat, and Li Yansheng recalled it. "Ah yes...you have a boyfriend, God, I'm so sad for your fanbase."

"When will you invite me to dinner?" Li Xu asked suddenly.

"Ah? Ah...eating!" Li Yansheng slapped his forehead, "I forgot about it with such a busy schedule. Would you like to choose a time?"

The two walked to the door of the elevator, Li Xu thought for a while: "I'll be busy for the past two days, I guess he's not free either."

Li Yansheng immediately realized who it was talking about, and was a little excited: "Are you going to take him with you?"

"Yes, he brought me to meet his friend, and I have to express it." Li Xu said, "You can bring Qiaoqiao, let's get together, after all, I only have you...a friend."

Li Xu rarely assigns identities to those around him, such as friends.Li Yansheng had known him for eight years, and finally got the status of a friend, and was so moved that he almost cried: "I...why do I feel like I have finally made it through?"

"You were right before." Li Xu patted him on the shoulder, "Maybe a change is a good thing. Thank you, good buddy."

Li Yansheng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed exaggeratedly. He put his arms around Li Xu's shoulders and said carelessly, "You're welcome, buddy!"

Lu Hui looked at his lover who was scribbling under the lamp with his face lifted.

Yes, the workaholic Li Xu gave up working overtime at the law firm because he brought his work home, to be more precise, to Brown.That's very professional.

"What do you always see me doing?" Li Xu asked coldly, "Isn't it going to open for business?"

"Do you know?" Lu Hui changed his posture and continued to look at him, "I used to really like seeing you so serious."

Li Xu didn't answer him, but frowned and looked at the contents of the document.

"It's very charming, and makes people yearn for it just by looking at it." Lu Hui said, "In today's words, it has a charming temperament of a schoolmaster."

"Come here." Li Xu put down the document, turned around and hooked his fingers.

Lu Hui went over very cooperatively, and the two kissed softly.It is really very soft, only gently licked and tender, without a hint of * taste, but very satisfying.

"I used to hate you very much." Li Xu said, "Because you too, people look forward to it when they see it, and when they live so happily without anything, they get annoyed when they see it."

Lu Hui slowly raised the corners of his mouth and smiled. He asked, "What about now? Are you happy?"

"Yeah." Li Xu pressed his forehead and said softly, "It's really a relief."

They leaned their foreheads against each other for a while, and Li Xu asked again: "What are you going to do during the Chinese New Year?"

"Depending on the situation, I usually spend nights in the store. Holidays are a good time to make money. Just wait for this day to be lively." Lu Hui smiled, "You go home and spend time with your mother, give me Just make a phone call and..."

"Then?" Li Xu asked.

"Then pick a good day." Lu Hui pinched his ears, "Let your mother be mentally prepared that her son-in-law is going to visit."

"Son-in-law..." Li Xu thought thoughtfully, "It turns out that it is my sister you want to marry, I wish you all the best."

Lu Hui: "..."

To be honest, if there is something about Li Xu that he doesn't like that much, it might be a cold joke.

The days soon approached New Year's Eve, and every household put up Spring Festival couplets. This is a bit of a New Year's flavor in the bustling city.Li Xu doesn't like Chinese New Year. Such a festival always brings with it a lot of troubles: dealing with relatives who have no blood relationship with him, greeting people with a smile, and sending blessings to those who are related to work.

After a Spring Festival, people have to work hard and lose a few catties.

This Spring Festival was no different from usual. The three of them ate quietly, then watched the Spring Festival Gala which was nothing new, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

This year, there is an additional process, that is, Li's mother will have a video in his room with Yin Huishan who is still in the hospital.

Seeing the two chatting happily, Li Xu felt happy and guilty at the same time.

Thinking about what would happen in the next few days, worry made him fall into deep confusion and self-blame.

There are some things he can't control by himself, like liking men and Lu Hui, it's really force majeure.He has struggled hard and changed, but in the end he still chose to walk on this road—the road of no return, and it is also the only road that can be followed with dignity.

The mother and daughter talked until Yoon Hye-san's break time.Li's mother said a word without saying a word: "I will go to see Huishan tomorrow."

"...Well, good." Li Xu came back to his senses, "Good."

"What's the matter..." Li's mother asked with a smile, "I'm listless, have you been too tired lately? I can't stop during the New Year."

"Yes." Li Xu thought of Lu Hui, who might still be reporting the carnival in brown, and suddenly wanted to hear his voice.

"That girlfriend of yours..." Li's mother suddenly mentioned, "You said you had a sense of proportion, so I never forced you, but it's the Chinese New Year, why didn't you call the other party to pay New Year's greetings? You are still waiting for the other party to take the initiative Looking for you?"

Li Xu pursed his lips, looked at his mother's smiling eyes, and finally couldn't hold back what he wanted to say: "Mom, do you still remember what I told you half a month ago?"

There was a moment of silence in the room. Li's mother waited for two seconds before slowly saying: "I remember, of course I remember, you want to say it now?"

"Mom!" Li Xu suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to her, which startled Li's mother, who didn't react for a while.

"Why, what's the matter?" Li's mother asked repeatedly, "What's the matter? What are you doing all of a sudden?"

Li Xu lay on the cold floor, unwilling to raise his head for a long time.

"Mom, my son is unfilial. There is one thing that I have kept from you for many years." Li Xu closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and said it out, "I... have no girlfriend at all."

Mother Li's expression was dumbfounded, she raised her hand to sweep her hair, and said with a smile: "What did I think I was going to say? That's all...Silly boy, Mom doesn't have to force you..."

"Mom, listen to me." Li Xu interrupted her with trembling shoulders and tears streaming from the corners of his eyes, "I haven't had any real girlfriends in all these years, I always hoped that I could fall in love with them, but...but I can't do it, I—"

"Don't say it!" Li's mother's voice suddenly became sharp, piercing the silence before the early morning.

Li Xu could hear the trembling in his mother's voice, he didn't dare to look up, he didn't even dare to let her see his tears.

She didn't let her say it, but he had to say that the arrow was on the string, and he couldn't turn back.

"Mom, what I like is actually a man."

He finally said this: "I'm sorry, Mom, I can't lie to you, I'm sorry."

Li's mother seemed to have been hit by someone's acupuncture points. She was sitting opposite Li Xu, with an expressionless face, like a statue about to wither.

She didn't cry, nor was she hysterical like Li Xu imagined.In fact, he doesn't know his mother, just like he has never been able to understand what kind of past she has experienced from his mother's attitude, and now he doesn't know how strong this woman can be.

Or how vulnerable it can be.

"Why did you say that?" Mother Li's tears finally flowed down, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you say that, Xu Zi?"

"..." Li Xu crawled on the floor, choked up and did not speak.

"If you don't tell me, I won't know in this life." Li's mother's hair, which had been brushed behind her ears before, fell back to her forehead, finally revealing the decadence of this woman who is nearly sixty years old. I don't even know, my husband... who the hell is..."

Her voice gradually rose, she stood up abruptly, and overturned the chair behind her.

"My son!" she cried, "my son... who the hell is it!"
