December 24th, Tuesday.
Sunny, high temperature 7, low temperature 3, light breeze.
Good weather for the time being.
At 7 o 'clock in the morning, Chuxun was buying breakfast at the breakfast shop. A few students were laughing and playing around. Their school uniforms were dragging and they did not wear scarves. Their young faces were shining.
Chuxun was really envious. This Sunday was his thirtieth birthday. So many years had passed unknowingly. He was no longer young. He wore warm underwear under his suit and a thick cashmere jacket outside. He still felt cold and wrapped his neck tightly with a scarf. It was like hanging.
He bought breakfast and went to Ji Tianze's house to serve the breakfast ordered by Ji Tianze.
Ji Tianze disliked it: "I want beef stuffing. This is pork. Why did you buy it wrong?"
Then he said: "You smell of greasy meat. It stinks. Stay away from me."
Although he disliked it, he still ate it and said: "Where is the PowerPoint I need to use today? What's the matter with you? It's not done yet? "
Chuxun nodded tiredly: "It's done. I'll explain it to you. You have to be familiar with it so that you can show it at the meeting …"
As he spoke, Chu Xun's mind wandered. Recently, his mind had been wandering. He thought of the students he met in the morning. He couldn't remember their faces clearly. In his mind, the faces of those students seemed to have been erased and replaced with his face when he was young.
He remembered that he fell in love with Ji Tianze when he was 16 years old and still in high school. Since then, he had bought breakfast for Ji Tianze regardless of rain or shine. Everyone said that he was young master Ji's little errand boy.
He never minded and humbly liked Ji Tianze.
At that time, Ji Tianze would hug his shoulder and say: "Little Xun, you are my good brother, right?"
He would be fascinated, blushing and nodding.
More than ten years had passed, and they were still … best friends. He was afraid that he couldn't even be friends with Ji Tianze if he confessed. He was afraid that he would have to watch Ji Tianze change girlfriends one after another and bless him with a smile every time.
Before Ji Tianze left, he told him, "Get off work early today and help me clean the room. You said you had something to do last week, so the clothes haven't been washed. The floor also needs to be cleaned."
Chuxun hesitated. "I have something to tell you … it's my birthday this weekend."
The atmosphere became strange. Ji Tianze didn't look back and deliberately changed the topic. "I have to go. If there's anything, we can talk about it when I come back tonight."
It didn't seem like he was talking to a friend, but more like he was talking to a servant.
Chuxun did not answer, and Ji Tianze did not notice. After all, he was giving an order, not a request. Chuxun was obedient to him. Whatever he said, Chuxun would do.
Their company didn't celebrate the Western Festival and didn't have a holiday on Christmas Eve.
Chuxun had asked for leave yesterday, and he was busy with work. So, he arrived at the company 25 minutes early. After he graduated from university, he worked in this company for seven years. He was smart and serious, but he was good at lowering his head. He was stable and steady, and he jumped a level in two or three years. The previous general manager admired him very much, but he kept him before he was promoted to the headquarters. Everyone was surprised. Was Chuxun going to be the new leader of the branch company?
Unexpectedly, a second generation came out of nowhere and took over his head. That person was Zhuang Hanxue, the youngest son of the general manager of the headquarters. He was only 22 years old this year, the age of a fresh graduate from university.

So, Chuxun became the deputy.
But he was not angry. He was already used to it. Moreover, his master deliberately let him stay so that he could have a good relationship with the young master.
Unfortunately, this person was not as good as his name suggested. He was ignorant and incompetent. Not to mention that he was late and left early, sometimes he would spend all day drinking and not even coming to the company. Subordinates follow the example of their superiors. The atmosphere in the company was not as good as before. Chuxun tried hard to suppress it, but he could barely maintain it.
He taught the young master with all his heart, but he was still annoyed.
Zhuang Hanxue said eloquently, "I have money to spend even if I don't work. Why do I have to live so hard?"
Chuxun was speechless. He asked around and found out that Zhuang Hanxue was naughty since he was young. Previously, he saw that Zhuang Hanxue had a good resume and graduated from a famous school. He was more educated than him. There were three children in the Zhuang family. He was the youngest, and there were older brothers and sisters. They were all elites. He was the only one who could use the violin to beat the teacher out of the house. His university graduation certificate was obtained by his father donating a building to the school.
The past six months had been very tiring.
He was only absent for a day, and the company was in chaos. He heard that the young master did not even come yesterday.
Chuxun checked all the work done yesterday. The new male student in the company made a mistake and almost caused a disaster. Fortunately, he found out and called him to the office to criticize him. Chuxun looked feminine. His skin was thin and white, and the corners of his eyes were upturned. He wore a pair of thin metal glasses and had a cold temperament. He thought that he did not say anything harsh, but he scared the boy to the point that he almost cried. Chuxun was not soft-hearted. He wanted to learn not to make mistakes in the future. It was for his own good.
At noon, the employees were having lunch. Chuxun was still working overtime and decided to finish the work at hand before leaving.
He had decided to resign and wanted to finish his work early so that the company would not be too chaotic when he left.
His phone rang. Someone had sent him a message. Chuxun picked it up and saw a sentence: That sissy is really making a fuss over nothing. He is narrow-minded and won't let go of a small mistake. It is as if he can't show his power if he doesn't do this.
He only saw it for a moment before the message was retracted as if nothing had happened.
Chuxun was a little sad. Sigh. Although it was not the first time he was scolded behind his back.
In the afternoon, Zhuang Hanxue stepped into the company late. When he saw Chuxun, he felt a little guilty. Chuxun used to call him to hurry him to come to work. Whether he was working in the company or not, he should at least sit properly in the chair of the CEO's office. He went to the nightclub to dance yesterday and had a hangover. He only woke up at noon and ate lunch. When he thought about Chuxun going to work today, he struggled and still came to the company. He felt that he was giving face to Chuxun. He was afraid that Chuxun would pull a long face and nag at him to improve himself and study. His parents did not ask him to do so. Chuxun was really looking for trouble.
Chuxun did not scold him. Zhuang Hanxue was anxious.
Why would he scold him? Chuxun was suddenly discouraged. He might even scold him behind his back.
His kindness was fed to the dog.
Zhuang Hanxue saw that Chuxun was engrossed in his work. He took an inch and wanted a mile. He secretly pushed the simple task of approval and stamping to Chuxun. A mountain of documents was moved to Chuxun's desk.
Chuxun looked at him coldly. Zhuang Hanxue pressed his forehead and pretended to be sick. "I drank too much last night and have a headache. This year, you are already going to work even though you are sick. You deserve to be encouraged. Help me do half of it. Just half. Otherwise, I'm afraid I can't finish it … or one-third? "
Chuxun said, "Do you think you are buying vegetables in the market? You are still bargaining. "
Zhuang Hanxue was sweet and shameless. "I'm useless. I still need Brother Chu to help me."
Chuxun suddenly felt tired.
He had too much work and ended work too late. It was too late to go to Ji Tianze's house.
Ji Tianze criticized him with a cold face. "Are you that busy? If you can't do it on time, you should have told me earlier. You made me wait for you. "
"What's wrong with you recently? Are you daydreaming again? "
"I'm not on time in the morning."
"That PowerPoint presentation was not good enough. I lost to the colleague I hate today."
"I'm talking to you. Are you listening?"
"Chuxun!"
Chuxun used to ask him why he did not buy takeout because he was too lazy to cook. He did not want to do the housework, so he hired a cleaner. Ji Tianze said, "Takeout is not as good as your cooking. I'm sick of it. Hourly workers are always unclean. I can't find a good one. They are not as good as you. Xiao Chu, you treat me the best. "
It was as if he was indispensable in his life.
Chuxun rushed to his house without eating dinner. He was already tired and dizzy from hunger. He was also scolded. Looking at Ji Tianze's ugly face and being scolded by him, he suddenly laughed when he thought of the troubles he encountered in the company today.
He realized that he was indeed very cheap.
It was so funny.
Ji Tianze frowned. "What are you laughing at?"
Chuxun said, "I'm laughing at myself. I've been at your beck and call for so many years. I've only woken up now."
Ji Tianze was a little flustered. "Chuxun, what did you say?"
Chuxun was too tired. He did not even want to talk to him anymore. He turned around and was about to leave.
Ji Tianze pulled him back. "What do you mean? Don't throw a tantrum like a child at this age. "
Chuxun shook off his hand. "What I mean is, please find another follower in the future. I want to live my own life."
Chuxun turned around halfway. It was dark behind him and there was no one. He laughed at himself and said those harsh words. He even wanted to give Ji Tianze one last chance.
Ji Tianze did not care about him. He used the name of a close friend to lure him for so many years. It was only because he was obedient and did not need to pay for his chores.
Chuxun was driving. He felt uncomfortable and stopped the car by the road. He leaned on the steering wheel and took out a thin piece of paper from his pocket. It was the diagnosis he received at the hospital yesterday.
He wanted to take it out and show it to Ji Tianze. He could not find the time. He did not need to look for it in the future.
The doctor told him that he had a terminal illness. He only had half a year left to live. If he focused on treatment and was lucky, he might be able to live for a year and a half.
Chuxun clenched the paper that sentenced him to death. His nails cut through the paper and pierced his palm. It was so painful that he suddenly laughed.
Even if he died, the earth would still rotate. There were millions of people like him in the world. His death was not to be regretted.
He wanted to tell Ji Tianze, but Ji Tianze did not even know that he went to the hospital. He wanted to tell Ji Tianze several times, but Ji Tianze did not even care about him.
He wanted to handle the company's work well before leaving, but his subordinates scolded him behind his back. His boss took the opportunity to slack off. Was he really necessary? Even if he was gone, the company would not close down immediately.
As for his parents, they had already cut ties with him because he came out of the closet. They had not returned home for five years.
He was too narcissistic and thought too highly of himself.
No one in the world cared about his life.
For the past twenty-nine years, he had lived like an idiot in a muddle.
Now that he was about to die, he thought of living for himself.
