The weather was very cool in November, Murong Mingshu was wearing a plain satin dress, and suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, she gave a shudder, looked at the empty door, and said, "Alian, I was just now. Isn't it dazzling? I seem to see the two of them... "
Aunt Lian shook her head blankly and said, "It's not dazzling, I saw it too."
The silky shawl fell silently on the floor, Murong Mingshu didn't notice it, she opened her mouth slightly as if she was hoarse and could not make a sound.
Aunt Lian opened her legs and walked towards the door, opened the door, and looked outside, making sure that the two had left, she slammed the door closed again, and quickly walked back to Murong Mingshu, saying, "Let's go. already."
Murong Mingshu grabbed her wrist with fingers like dead branches: "What do they mean?"
"How do I know if you ask me!" Aunt Lian looked anxious, "No matter how good the relationship is, you can't kiss, you say these two children..."
Murong Mingshu looked at her blankly: "Did you realize that something was wrong with them before?"
Aunt Lian thought for a while, and said, "Yes, yes, yes! One weekend Xiaoshi went out for a walk with you. I saw that Chuan Chuan had not woken up, so I wanted to go up and ask her to get up to eat. She hadn't changed her pajamas when the door opened. I just saw…”
"what did you see?"
Aunt Lian's face became hot, she pointed to the chest below the neck, and said, "She has a lot of red here. I asked her what was going on, but she panicked immediately, covered her hands with her hands, and said she was bitten by mosquitoes. Yes. I thought about it later, how could the mosquito bite such a large piece, as if someone sucked it out with his mouth. "
"..." Murong Mingshu said with a terrified face, hesitantly and incredulously, "Could it be a small poem???"
With no outsiders, Aunt Lian simply made a bold guess: "Don't you think it's strange? There is a guest room at home, why do these two sleep in the same room? It seems that they are almost inseparable except for meals. There is still one night in the middle of the night, I get up to find water to drink, When I was about to go downstairs, I suddenly heard a strange sound from Xiaoshi's room, as if a man and a woman were on the bed... You understand?"
To put it so plainly, how could Murong Mingshu, who has come from the past, not understand? It's just that she thinks this is too absurd, and it is difficult for her to accept this fact for a while.
Aunt Lian picked up the shawl and stuffed it into her arms: "I heard that two men and two women would do that kind of thing before, but I never thought of Xiaoshi and Chuanchuan..."
"No, it won't." Murong Mingshu interrupted her, "Could it be that we think too much?"
They are all old and conservative people, and Aunt Lian also hopes that she is over-hearted, but seeing is believing, how can she deceive herself
"Would you like to visit their room?"
"Okay, go have a look."
Usually, Aunt Lian is cleaning, and every time she is very disciplined and does not disturb Murong Shi's things. Today, when such a thing happened, the two elders didn't care about being reserved, and they started rummaging through the cabinets when they entered the room.
Opening the bedside table, you can see everything inside, several packs of finger cots, a vibrator, a jumping egg... Seeing these novelties, the two old people blushed and dared not touch them.
Then Aunt Lian found a book under the pillow, and neither of them could read the words clearly. Aunt Lian hurried to Murong Mingshu's room to get her reading glasses.
After reading the introduction, Murong Mingshu's face turned pale, and she did not dare to scroll down.
Aunt Lian hurriedly asked, "What did you write?"
Murong Mingshu closed the cover, her lips trembling, it was hard to say it.
in the car.
Xu Chuanchuan's heart was beating wildly, and he said anxiously, "Auntie and Auntie Lian must be suspicious."
Murong Shi said in a relaxed tone, "Just to make them suspicious."
Xu Chuanchuan stared at her sideways: "Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could be mentally prepared?"
"what to prepare?"
Xu Chuanchuan was stopped by her questioning.
Murong Shi smiled and said, "My mother and Aunt Lian should be the ones who need to be mentally prepared. I think the two of them must have gone to my room now, and they will understand everything when they see those things."
Thinking of the embarrassing scene at Murong's house, Xu Chuanchuan was so ashamed that she wailed and covered her face with her hands.
"Do you think they can accept it?"
"How would I know."
"Then how dare you be so sudden?!"
Murong Shi took advantage of the red light to stabilize the car, looked at her and said, "What are you afraid of, my mother and Aunt Lian like you so much."
"But..." Xu Chuanchuan hesitated, not knowing where to start.
Murong Shi took her hand and said, "Don't worry about it, you'll know what their attitude is when you come back at night. Why are you still sweating and nervous?"
Xu Chuanchuan wiped the sweat from his palms onto his trouser legs, and said angrily, "It's not all because of you. Kiss me in front of them without saying hello, and I'm scared to break out in a cold sweat."
Murong Shi couldn't help laughing.
Xu Chuanchuan also knew that it was a matter of time before she came out. She had also thought that her family was not that easy. After all, her parents had only met Murong Shi twice. Murong Mingshu and Aunt Lian were different. These two elders treated her as if they were their goddaughters. Although Murong Shi had been comforting her, she was still worried.
Unexpectedly, he went to get off work all day, and finally waited until he got off work, but Xu Chuanchuan didn't move.
Everyone else in the office was gone, and Murong Shi came to look for her: "Let's go."
Xu Chuanchuan looked like he was constipated, and hesitantly said, "Or... you can go back today."
"Scared?"
Xu Chuanchuan pursed his lips and nodded.
"What am I afraid of?" Murong Shi pulled her up forcefully, "The ugly daughter-in-law will see her in-laws sooner or later."
"I'm not ugly."
"So what are you afraid of?"
"… "
After going up to help Fang Qin feed the fish, Xu Chuanchuan finally compromised and went back with Murong Shi.
"Mom, we're back."
"A, Auntie." Xu Chuanchuan smiled stiffly.
Aunt Lian is preparing dinner in the kitchen.
Murong Mingshu was sitting in the living room watching TV, her complexion looked the same as usual, but her eyes changed when she saw their two clasped hands. In an instant, Murong Mingshu smiled subtly and said, "I'm back? The meal isn't ready yet, do you want to eat some fruit first?"
Xu Chuanchuan tried to pull out his hand, but instead, Murong Shi held her tighter and pulled her over to sit on the sofa.
As soon as she sat down, Xu Chuanchuan saw the book on the coffee table, and when she saw the familiar cover and text, her breath stopped.
That's her novel...
She didn't know when Murong Shi brought the book back, or how Murong Mingshu found it. She was so stiff that she didn't even respond when Murong Shi handed her an apple.
"Open your mouth." Murong Shi touched her lips with a sliced apple.
Xu Chuanchuan was really embarrassed in front of Murong Mingshu, took the apple with his free hand, took a bite, and his eyes were uncontrollably glued to the novel.
Is it time to hide now
"Xiao Shi, Mom has a question I want to ask you." Murong Mingshu said.
Xu Chuanchuan's heart suddenly burst, and she bit her tongue inadvertently, causing her to cry out "Ah" in pain.
Both pairs of eyes turned towards her, and Murong Shi asked, "What's wrong?"
Xu Chuanchuan reluctantly shook his head, unable to smile when he wanted to.
Murong Shi picked up the novel on the coffee table, flipped through it, looked at Murong Mingshu and said, "I found it in my room?"
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Murong Mingshu's face, and she said, "It's not that Mom doesn't respect your privacy, it's just because..."
"I know." Murong Shi interrupted her calmly, "You entered my room to find evidence."
Murong Mingshu was silent.
Murong Shi took the dazed Xu Chuanchuan's hand and kissed it, ignoring Murong Mingshu's strange eyes, and said, "Mom, I like Chuanchuan, we've been together for a long time, and I'm afraid you won't accept it, so I've kept it a secret until now. "
Murong Mingshu had already prepared a draft and was about to ask her questions, but she didn't expect that Murong Shi would confess her words before she said a few words, she was a little bit at a loss: "But I don't understand, haven't you dated Shaohua before? "
Murong Shi lowered his eyes and said, "Jiang Shaohua and I are just acting in a play, there is no actual relationship, we are just pretending to be lovers."
"..." Murong Mingshu was too surprised to speak.
"I know you don't like Jiang Shaohua, you think there is something wrong with his character." Murong Shi paused, looked at Xu Chuanchuan who was so nervous that his palms started to sweat again, and smiled, "What kind of person is Chuanchuan? You and Aunt Lian should both know that she is a good girl."
Murong Mingshu looked at this for a while, and then at that, her mouth opened and closed, unable to hold a word for a long time.
Xu Chuanchuan said timidly, "Auntie, I really like Murong. I want to be with her forever. I hope you can fulfill us."
Murong Mingshu's ears are soft, so how can she stand up to two people attacking from front and back? The long discussion that had been brewed was instantly forgotten, and she stood up, evading the question, and said, "I'll go see if Aunt Lian is done."
Two people stared at each other.
Xu Chuanchuan said in frustration, "She doesn't seem to be able to accept it."
Murong Shi pondered for a while and said, "It may not be acceptable in a short time, but it will be fine in the future."
Sun An didn't come back, and the four of them ate dinner. The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little weird today, without the joyousness of the past.
The four of them tacitly did not mention it again, but they all knew it. Knowing that Murong Mingshu had always been a vegetarian, Xu Chuanchuan silently put a piece of steamed pumpkin for her.
Murong Mingshu's eyelids trembled and smiled at her: "You also eat more."
Xu Chuanchuan heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that she had eaten the pumpkin.
Aunt Lian is not too taboo here, Xu Chuanchuan gave her a piece of tenderloin. Aunt Lian also ate with a smile.
Overall, the meal was still awkward.
It was raining outside, so Murong Mingshu couldn't go for a walk, and because she was too embarrassed to stay with them, she said she wanted to go back to her room as soon as she was full.
Murong Shi picked up the novel on the coffee table and followed, and said, "Have you read it?"
Murong Mingshu didn't know what she wanted to do, so her lips moved, and she said, "I didn't mean to flip through your stuff on purpose, I just glanced at it casually."
"Does it look good?"
"..." Murong Mingshu's expression was not very natural, "I said it was just a casual look, the content... I don't remember the content."
Murong Shi smiled lightly and said, "Actually, it's pretty good, this is a novel written by Chuan Chuan."
"Written by Chuanchuan?" Murong Mingshu was stunned for a while, looking for Xu Chuanchuan over her shoulder.
It happened that Xu Chuanchuan looked at them, heard their conversation, and lowered his head in embarrassment.
"Well, she is very talented. She has written six novels like this. If you are interested, I will bring it back for you to read."
Murong Mingshu's face twitched, and she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, my old eyes are dim and I can't see clearly. Besides, these...how can I see it, you kid is mad at me."
Murong Shi looked at her face and asked softly, "Then are you angry?"
"What are you angry about?"
"We're hiding it from you."
"...Let's talk about this later." Murong Mingshu didn't want to talk about it anymore, she pushed open the door and walked in.
Annoyed, Xu Chuanchuan decided to take a day off tonight. The two of them took a bath and lay on the big bed, not in the mood to make out, nor do they want to sleep.
"Auntie didn't laugh much today, did she not accept me?" Xu Chuanchuan asked nervously.
Murong Mingshu didn't make a clear statement, and Murong Shi didn't know what to do. She was silent for a long time and said, "Don't worry, she may still need some time."
They stayed at home for three days before they left. Fang Qin called to say that she had returned from a business trip and wanted to invite them to dinner.
As soon as he met Murong Shi, he reached out and asked her for a gift.
Fang Qin rolled his eyes and said, "No gifts."
"There are no gifts, there are always biscuits, right? The peach cake last time was good, I like to eat it." Murong Shi teased her.
"..." Fang Qin ignored her teasing and watched Xu Chuanchuan gloomy, "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Chuanchuan rested his cheeks with one hand, sighed, and said, "Aunt Mingshu and Aunt Lian know about us."
Fang Qin's eyes lit up: "Have you come out of the closet?"
Xu Chuanchuan let out a listless "um", flipping through the recipes in a boring way.
Seeing her frowning face, Fang Qin thought that they had encountered obstacles, but Murong Shi's expression was calm.
"There's nothing to say." Murong Shi said lightly, "Don't say it's my mother, it's hard for me to accept this kind of thing for a while, but I've already figured out a way."
"What way?" Xu Chuanchuan raised his spirits.
Murong Shi pretended to be mysterious and didn't say anything.
That day Xu Chuanchuan sent a Weibo to ask readers for help, asking experienced people how to deal with them after coming out of the closet. Many people gave her advice, and she chose one of them. I bought a lot of health care products for middle-aged and elderly people in the online flagship store. Xu Chuanchuan thought about delivering it to Murong Mingshu and Aunt Lian on the weekend.
But on that day, Murong Shi didn't take her back, and Xu Chuanchuan had to stay in the dormitory alone to code words.
Murong Shi brought back the valuable health care products she bought. After seeing it, Murong Mingshu sighed and said, "Why waste all this money, she doesn't earn much a month, right?"
Murong Shi added fuel to her jealousy and said, "It took her a month's salary, and she can only eat instant noodles this month."
"How about that! Can these be returned?"
"What to withdraw, this is her heart, you can accept it."
"Then... why didn't she come back with you today?"
"She doesn't dare to come."
"why?"
Murong Shi shrugged and said, "I'm afraid you'll see her block."
"… "
After another week, Murong Shi still came back by himself, and by the way, he brought back the gift film that Xu Chuanchuan bought for Murong Mingshu, and said, "This is a foot soak film, it's not expensive."
Before Murong Mingshu opened her mouth, she was speechless.
"It's cold, so it's good for your body to soak your feet more." Murong Shi said, "I'll make a pot of water for you."
Murong Mingshu had the habit of soaking her feet before going to bed, but she didn't expect Murong Shi to wash her feet this time, she was shocked: "What are you doing?"
"Give you a massage."
Murong Mingshu saw that she was doing well and said, "It's alright, it's alright, you don't need to please me like that."
Murong Shi's hands kept moving: "You gave birth to me and raised me, how could it be to please you by pressing your feet?"
Murong Mingshu was speechless, looked at her focused look, and said, "I know you've always been very assertive, and it's useless for me to say something. About you and Chuanchuan..."
Murong Shi looked up at her.
Murong Mingshu sighed heavily and said, "Tomorrow is the winter solstice, it's a festival anyway, let Chuan Chuan come to the house for a meal."
When Murong Shi called to tell Xu Chuanchuan the news, Xu Chuanchuan jumped up from his chair in excitement. This compromise meant that Murong Mingshu began to acquiesce in their relationship, and she was so excited that she didn't fall asleep all night.
She refused Murong Shi to come and pick her up, and called Murong's house early the next morning.
Murong Mingshu and Aunt Lian are still as kind as always, and they are also friendly and gentle to her, but I don't know if it is because they know her relationship with Murong Shi that they are a little more intimate with her.
Murong Mingshu touched her cheeks, which were reddened by the north wind, and said distressedly, "Why don't you wear a scarf?"
Xu Chuanchuan was still not used to it, so he shrank his neck and said bluntly, "I didn't expect it to be so windy outside."
"Look at this hand is frozen purple."
Xu Chuanchuan only knew how to smirk.
Murong Mingshu tapped her chin on the kitchen and said, "Aunt Lian has stewed big bone soup, and let Xiaoshi serve you a bowl to warm up first."
"Then let's drink together." Murong Shi looked at Xu Chuanchuan, "You come and help me."
Xu Chuanchuan happily followed.
Outside, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous. She entered the kitchen and avoided the eyes of the outside world. Xu Chuanchuan hugged Murong Shi and said, "Your mother is so nice."
"Am I bad?"
Xu Chuanchuan smiled until his eyes narrowed, and said, "Your family is all right."
Murong Shi shook his head and said, "My dad doesn't know yet."
Xu Chuanchuan's smile froze instantly.
"Although my dad has a bad temper, he listens to my mother the most." Murong Shi rubbed her frozen cheek, "Why is it so cold?"
Xu Chuanchuan glanced outside and lowered his voice: "I called Didi to take a taxi. When I got in the car, I found out that the heater in the car was broken, and I was too lazy to get out."
Murong Shi frowned and said, "Give him a bad review."
"This is unnecessary. The driver refunded half of the money to me."
Seeing her overjoyed look, Murong Shi shook her head helplessly and said, "You are really a little money fan."
Xu Chuanchuan stuck out his tongue.
Worried that she might catch a cold, Murong Shi asked Aunt Lian for advice and cooked her a bowl of ginger soup. Xu Chuanchuan drank the love ginger soup, but he still caught a cold the next day.
Not only did she catch a cold, but Murong Shi was also infected by her, so Xu Chuanchuan was very annoyed and said, "I told you last night not to, you still come."
Murong Shi hooked her neck and kissed her again, with a heavy nasal voice: "Yesterday was a good day, we should celebrate it well."
Xu Chuanchuan: "..." I haven't heard of making love to celebrate.
The cold has not yet healed, and Murong Shi is going on a business trip. When she went to Taiwan this time, she originally wanted Xu Chuanchuan to go with her, but after comprehensive consideration, Xu Chuanchuan decided to stay.
Murong Shi went on a working day, so she could only ask for leave. As soon as she left, no one would do the work at hand, and the boss would definitely not approve it.
After Murong Shi left, Xu Chuanchuan felt as if something was missing around her, but when Murong Shi sent a video to ask her if she would be bored alone, she stubbornly said, "No, if you want to sleep, just sleep. I have never been so free before.”
"Freedom?" Murong Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, "Do you think I've been too strict with you before?"
It would have been. Xu Chuanchuan said in his heart.
Some time ago, Xu Chuanchuan was selected by a certain reader Amway in a female talent show. She likes a young lady who can sing, dance, and look good. She can't wait to update it every day after coding. When someone saw it, she was so jealous that she even took away her cell phone. She just stripped it and dangled it in front of her eyes, making her inadvertent to watch the video, and finally she was overwhelmed and stripped.
"No, I'm joking." The strong desire to survive forced Xu Chuanchuan to say flatteringly, and the conversation changed, "Is Taiwan fun?"
"There are a lot of delicious snacks, and Linda went out to eat by herself."
Xu Chuanchuan was told that she was hungry, so he secretly swallowed and said, "Are there many beautiful girls in Taiwan?"
Murong Shi didn't even think about it: "I don't know, I didn't pay attention."
Xu Chuanchuan was very happy.
After returning from a business trip, Murong Shi brought Xu Chuanchuan home for dinner. Xu Chuanchuan thought of her hard work and took the initiative to be the driver.
At first, Murong Shi still chatted with her a few words, and the more he went to the back, the more perfunctory, Xu Chuanchuan caught a glimpse of her keeping her head down and playing with her mobile phone, and asked casually, "Are you finished yet?"
Murong Shi said "um" and stopped talking.
Xu Chuanchuan didn't bother her anymore, and didn't take it to heart. Until evening, when Xu Chuanchuan came out wrapped in a towel after taking a shower, she was very puzzled when she saw that Murong Shi was still playing with her mobile phone.
Murong Shi is not a cell phone controller like her, but since returning from the airport, Murong Shi's cell phone has never been left, and she is returning messages even when she eats.
"So fast?" Xu Chuanchuan stood by the bed for a while before she saw it.
Xu Chuanchuan pouted and said, "Who are you talking to? Linda?"
"no."
When Xu Chuanchuan wanted to lean over to watch it, Murong Shi turned the screen aside, either intentionally or unintentionally, stood up, stretched, and said, "It's my turn to wash."
Xu Chuanchuan watched her enter the bathroom, and when she heard a "ding dong" sound on her mobile phone, a strange feeling appeared in her heart.
Murong Shi was so wrong today. In the past, no matter how much she peeped at Murong Shi, she would not avoid it, why did she seem to be afraid of her seeing it just now
In addition to this, Xu Chuanchuan also found a suspicious place. Since they met until now, Murong Shi has not hugged her.
