Zhuang Yan is addicted to smoking again.
He touched his pocket and asked Ji Wenbin, "Do you mind if I smoke a cigarette?"
"Anyway." Ji Wenbin seemed to smile, "I can't smell smoke here anyway."
Zhuang Yan lit a cigarette and took a sharp puff, and his brain slowly calmed down.
He was silent for a long while, with the cigarette between his fingers, trembling, and said, "I never found out that he had suicidal thoughts."
"His attitude towards life may be a bit negative, let it be, but according to my observation, he... should not have any suicidal tendencies now."
Dr. Ji didn't refute: "So I'm talking about once."
Zhuang Yan was silent again.
His thoughts entangled in the past that Shainin avoided talking about, slowly converging into a line, and finally settled on the tattoo on his wrist.
Shainin said that a bird means freedom and freedom.
What was he bound to
Ji Wenbin took the notes to the end, and suddenly asked, "I take the liberty to ask, are you two lovers?"
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment and replied, "Not yet."
Ji Wenbin smiled again: "This answer is very interesting."
Zhuang Yan is very confident: "One day it will be."
Ji Wenbin: "Then I should wish you good luck?"
The smoke in Zhuang Yan's hand burned to the end: "Thank you."
Ji Wenbin asked again: "Then can you talk to me about other things about him? Such as the past, family, friends, etc."
Zhuang Yan replied: "Actually, you should ask Yan Xi about this, he may know more."
Ji Wenbin said: "I will listen to opinions from all sides."
Zhuang Yan thought for a while: "I don't know much. As for the family... He and grandpa should have a good relationship."
"Grandpa?" Ji Wenbin paused, then asked, "What about the parents?"
Zhuang Yan put out the cigarette: "I haven't seen his parents... He lived alone before."
Ji Wenbin didn't think it was a big deal: "With financial support, it's not uncommon for adults to live alone."
Zhuang Yan recalled slowly: "he mentioned his mother to me a few times, but it didn't make me feel very harmonious. His mother always arranged blind dates for him regardless of his wishes, which made him very distressed. He even found a boyfriend as a shield in order to refuse a blind date."
Ji Wenbin's tone became strange: "Is that so?"
Zhuang Yan explained: "That's a thing of the past, I'm not that shield."
Ji Wenbin responded: "That is to say, I have a good relationship with my grandfather, but I don't have a good relationship with my parents. My mother... has a strong personality. What about my father?"
Zhuang Yan thought for a long time: "I haven't heard him mention it."
Ji Wenbin said to himself, "I didn't mention it... Is it the image of the silent person?"
In terms of family, this is what Zhuang Yan knows.
"Make friends..." Zhuang Yan lit another cigarette. "He doesn't like to socialize, and his social circle is not big. If he can really be called a friend, he should be Yan Xi."
Speaking of Yan Xi, he couldn't help but ask: "I heard that you were introduced to Xie Ning by Yan Xi."
Ji Wenbin: "Yes."
Zhuang Yan repeated what he said before: "Then you should be more familiar with Yan Xi. I think Yan Xi may provide more information than me on these matters."
Ji Wenbin smiled: "But I would like to hear your opinions and attitudes."
Zhuang Yan was stunned for a moment: "mine?"
"Yes." Ji Wenbin's voice was as gentle as always, "because you are special to Xie Ning."
"In other words, in Shainin's heart, you are different, so I think your words may be more meaningful."
He is special.
Zhuang Yan thought, he also heard Yan Xi say this.
…
After chatting with Ji Wenbin for a few hours, I didn't gain much, but I smoked a few cigarettes.
Zhuang Yan threw the cigarette butts into the trash can, cleaned up, and went to the bathroom to take a shower, washing away the smell of cigarettes and hot pot.
I don't know if it was because of the inspiration, or because I had a good hot pot meal at night, Xie Ning rarely had insomnia today, and slept sweetly in the company of the blue whale doll.
On the other hand, Zhuang Yan had something hidden in his heart. He tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before falling asleep, and woke up two times intermittently in between.
In the early morning, Zhuang Yan frowned and simply got up to wash and get up.
Shane hasn't woken up yet.
Zhuang Yan got up early, and it was the weekend again, so there was no need to rush to the company.
He went out and ran for a while, came back with a thin layer of sweat on his body, went back to the bedroom to take a shower, and then went downstairs to prepare breakfast for Xie Ning.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the entrance of the stairs, he saw a figure sitting upright in the living room.
He checked the time, it was only after 8 o'clock.
The man was drinking water, and when he saw him come down, he put the water glass on the coffee table, turned his head, and said lightly, "Awake?"
Zhuang Yan responded, and was a little helpless: "It's only 8 o'clock, it's still a weekend."
"Yes, I thought I would have to wait here for at least a few hours before you go downstairs. I didn't expect you to get up quite early today."
Zhuang Yan came over from the stairs and rubbed his forehead: "Mom, why didn't you tell me in advance when you were coming."
Ms. Qiao sat on the sofa and raised her eyebrows: "What? I'm not welcome."
Zhuang Yan snorted, even if he was not welcome, he couldn't really show it: "How can it be."
Ms. Qiao said in a cool tone: "Looking at your expression, it doesn't look like a welcome."
Zhuang Yan: "Then should I give you a round of applause?"
"That's not necessary," Ms. Qiao said. "I came early this morning, and I haven't had breakfast yet. If you're really welcome, just cook it for me."
Zhuang Yan smiled lightly: "Emotion, you are here to eat."
Ms. Qiao frowned and looked at him: "I said, a breakfast is worth me running all the way to rub it?"
Zhuang Yan has no objection. Anyway, he is preparing to make breakfast for Xie Ning, so there is only one more person.
It was the intention of Ms. Qiao that made him a little concerned.
The banker's family is open-minded, and his parents don't interfere much in his affairs when they are adults.
Whether it is going abroad or going to be a director to make some small movies that no one sees, as long as they don’t commit crimes, the dealers will let them go.
There were also people who came to Ms. Qiao secretly to mock her son, who was very temperamental, but he was not very promising.
Ms. Qiao rolled her eyelids and smiled lightly: "I don't have any throne to inherit in my family. I can make a little money by filming some movies and live a comfortable life. It's better than some people. Go to the bureau to get people."
When the man heard the words, he was choked for a moment, and stopped looking for thorns. Instead, he turned around and told people that the temper of the mother and son was carved out of a mold.
Typical difficult to serve, one mouth will stop you from speaking.
Later, Ms. Qiao took this as a joke and told Zhuang Yan: "Her son is very promising. He is a puppet president of his own company, and he has become a laughing stock in the family's struggle for family property. He doesn't even know it. But the nephew who is going to enter the business circle was involved in smuggling a few years ago, and all the trustees found your grandfather, and he thought I didn't know."
…
Zhuang Yan also poured himself a glass of water and asked, "What's the matter with you blocking me at the door? Or is someone else suing you?"
Ms. Qiao said calmly, "I heard people say that you have a little girl hidden in this golden house."
Zhuang Yan was drinking water when he almost choked on hearing this.
He wiped the corner of his mouth with a tissue, frowned and asked, "Who are you... listening to."
Ms. Qiao said slowly: "Who said it doesn't matter, I'm just curious, so let's take a look. Seeing you like this, are you really hiding someone?"
Zhuang Yan was helpless, but he also knew that it was impossible to hide this from his mother.
In the lakeside villa, in addition to Aunt Chen, there are servants who regularly take care of the garden, and occasionally he also uses a driver.
Anyone can have a word with Ms. Qiao.
What's more, he didn't intend to hide his and Xie Ning's affairs from his family.
It just wasn't the right time.
So he didn't hide it: "Someone lives here, but it's not what you think."
"Oh?" Ms. Qiao became interested. "Why is it different? Or you have to say that the two of you are innocent and have nothing to do. You just live here."
In some ways, that seems to be okay.
Zhuang Yan couldn't help but let out a bitter smile.
Ms. Qiao looked at his expression, saw that he didn't speak, and said: "Speaking of which, you are also a person who is about to run for the third year. You haven't brought anyone home for so many years. It's impossible for me and your father to say that you are not in a hurry. You are also annoying to urge you a few words, so I try not to mention it."
Zhuang Yan murmured, "It will take two years to run to the third, so I'm not that old."
Ms. Qiao was not changed by him: "You are not a person who likes to play. Since you have brought people here to live, there must be an explanation."
She said, "your dad and I are going abroad in two days. If you're not so serious, just play around, and I'll pretend you don't know anything. I'm here to say goodbye to you."
Zhuang Yan was silent for a few seconds, then said sternly: "Then I will explain to you, I am serious."
Ms. Qiao sat up straight: "Oh? Are you willing to talk now?"
"Be quiet." Zhuang Yan smiled helplessly, "He's still sleeping on it, I'm afraid I'll disturb him."
Ms. Qiao laughed: "protect it so tightly?"
Zhuang Yan said: "You said so, I don't want you to misunderstand him. I don't play with him, I really want to be together."
He said seriously: "It's the kind of love that wants to talk about marriage and spend a lifetime together."
Ms. Qiao digested the news for a while and looked up at him: "I heard it's a man?"
"Well, man."
Ms. Qiao didn't speak for a few seconds, and finally said, "After so many years, I never thought that you would bring me a man back in the end."
Zhuang Yan blocked her with her previous words: "Anyway, my family has no throne to inherit."
Ms. Joe: "… "
Or how about the mother and son.
Ms. Qiao was speechless for a moment and asked, "Then tell me, what kind of person is he?"
Zhuang Yan smiled, "How are people, you'll know when you meet them later."
Ms. Qiao raised her eyebrows: "will you let me see him now?"
Zhuang Yan said, "will you leave if you don't see anyone? And it's not that you were not allowed to see me just now... I was afraid of scaring him."
Ms. Qiao asked, "If I don't like him, what will you do?"
Zhuang Yan is not worried at all: "You will definitely like him."
Ms. Qiao raised her eyelids and glanced at him: "So confident?"
Zhuang Yan calmly said, "Yes."
He said putting down the glass and stood up: "He's about to wake up now, and I have to make breakfast."
Ms. Qiao got up and said, "Since that's the case, should I meet his parents before I go abroad?"
Zhuang Yan paused and said in a subtle tone, "What are you meeting?"
Ms. Qiao said hesitantly: "Set... the wedding date?"
Zhuang Yan: "…"
He rubbed his forehead: "You are too anxious."
Ms. Qiao said coolly: "Who told me just now that they want to talk about marriage and spend a lifetime together."
Zhuang Yan looked at her: "it hasn't gotten to this point... don't talk nonsense when you meet people."
Ms. Qiao was keenly aware that something was wrong, and looked at him calmly: "Why do I always feel that you have something to hide from me."
Zhuang Yan was silent for a while, then said the truth: "He hasn't agreed yet."
Ms. Qiao thought about his words for a while, and finally looked at him with indescribable eyes.
"You mean... You've been talking about marriage and living together, and he hasn't promised to be with you?"
Zhuang Yan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Otherwise I would have brought people to you long ago."
Ms. Qiao sneered and said, "Promising... Then you can make it clear to me. I will say what people will say when I meet."
…
When Xie Ning woke up, he heard faint voices from downstairs.
He thought that Zhuang Yan was talking to Aunt Chen, and after washing up and wearing pajamas, he went downstairs in a daze.
It wasn't until the living room that I realized something was wrong.
He looked at the dignified and elegant Ms. Qiao sitting at the dining table, his eyes widened, and he subconsciously wanted to go back upstairs.
The two had already heard the movement and turned their heads.
Ms. Qiao was stunned when she saw Xie Ning, and an unexpected look flashed in her eyes: "Ningning?"
She turned her head, looked at Zhuang Yan suddenly, and used her eyes to indicate why he didn't say it earlier.
Zhuang Yan said slowly: "You came here early in the morning and gave me a surprise. I have to give you a surprise anyway."
Ms. Joe was taken aback.
The author has something to say: Ms. Qiao: Oh, my son.
Zhuangzhuang: Oh, my mother.
