Married, how can you still be single? " Zeng's mother retorted.

"Huamin's incident was an accident." Zeping's expression couldn't help changing, and his voice was a little lower.

"So you're not lucky. It's rare to have such a good daughter-in-law. Xiuning also knows that I like Hua Min very much, isn't it, Xiuning?" Zeng mother turned to Xiuning and asked.

"Yeah." Xiuning nodded, "Xiaomin often mentions you, auntie, and says that you are very kind to her."

"Yes, but I didn't expect..." Zeng's mother said, her eyes could not help turning red, Shi Ran hurriedly said in a calm voice, "Brother Zeping will definitely meet another girl as good as Huamin in the future. "Auntie, don't be sad."

"How can I not be sad..." Zeng's mother was still talking, but Zeping couldn't help but want to stop, but someone under the table held his hand.

The man's palm was very dry, which was reassuring, but also worrying.

Xiuning…

I'm fine, don't mind... Thinking of those seven words on the phone, Zeping seemed to hear him say that to him.

On the surface, the meal was peaceful, but after an hour, Zeping felt very tired. He knew that Xiuning must be the same.

"Shi Ran is so hard to cook, just leave the bowls, and Ping can wash them." Zeng's mother spoke again when she was cleaning up.

"I'll take Xiuning back first." Zeping got up but said, he said in a low voice, without showing any expression.

"Shi Ran has to go back in a while, so Xiuning will sit down again." Zeng's mother smiled, making it impossible for people to know that she said that on purpose.

"No, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." Xiuning shook his head with a smile, indicating that he would send it if he didn't need it.

Zeping looked at Xiuning and did not allow him to refuse, "I will accompany you down, and I have something to tell you."

Zeng's mother's face changed when she saw this, but she didn't say a word. She knew that if she spoke again, she would have to turn against her.

Zeping pulled Xiuning out the door, slammed the door shut with a bang, and walked away, but instead of taking the elevator, he went straight up the stairs.

Xiuning didn't speak, Ren Zeping dragged him all the way down, but he was just grabbed by the wrist, but when he went out, Zeping shook his hand instead, clasped his five fingers and felt the warmth of his palm.

The stairs were very quiet, because it was the 20th floor, so few people would take the stairs. After going down a few floors, Zeping finally stopped and turned to face Xiuning, his expression was very deep, but also very helpless.

"You can endure it, but I can't." His voice was hoarse, and he said that he couldn't, but he still endured it, but the dull pain in his heart could not stop, and it was not until this moment that he faced Xiuning alone. Better yet, "I really want you to get out of there early..." He pressed his forehead and closed his eyes, leaning against the wall behind him, and said with some strength.

"I know..." Xiu Ning looked at Zeping quietly and whispered, and couldn't help raising his hand to touch his face.

He could have endured it, because that's how he looked at Zeping and walked over.

He approached Zeping slowly, kissed his lips lightly, but only slightly touched, and then pressed against his forehead.

"I should go, you go back..." Xiuning whispered on his lips.

Zeping didn't respond for a long time. When he opened his eyes again, he just felt reluctant to give up. He couldn't help but softly called the name of the person in front of him, "Xuning..."

He really, really hates this man.

Xiuning felt it, and he couldn't help but sigh, feeling that now he can be so close to him, it is no longer the distance that was clearly in front of him but couldn't touch Mo, now he can hold his hand, hug him, kiss him , can also accompany him.

"I love you, Zeping..." Xiuning whispered, he never said this in person, because he never planned to say it in his life, but now Zeping is in front of him, his breath is close at hand, he Knowing that Zeping needs him, especially at times like this.

Xiuning…

Zeping sighed, he has always loved himself, so tired of love, but now, he is greedy for his love.

He stretched out his arms and hugged him, feeling his presence.

"You said we would work hard together, let's let it pass today." Xiuning's voice sounded in his ears, so deep and gentle, it stirred his heart.

string.

"I will love you..." Zeping said, starting from the moment he wanted to start loving Xiuning, he would continue to love him, because this person was so good that he couldn't hold other people in his heart, maybe this was the reason The real relationship is even more than with Huamin - more than a certain sense of "love".

"I know..." Xiuning whispered on the side of his neck.

three

Xiuning received a call from Zeng's mother at noon the next day. He was not surprised because he knew that Zeng's mother would definitely find him alone to clarify.

He knew that Zeng's mother always had only one meaning, and that was to ask him to leave Zeping.

The place where they met was in a cafe near the hospital. There were not many people there and it was very quiet. When Xiuning went there, Zeng's mother was already waiting there. She was sitting upright and expressionless.

When Xiuning saw her at the door, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, a wry smile flashed across his face, and when he walked in front of her, it was already a faint smile, gentle and polite, "Auntie."

Zeng mother glanced at him and said lightly, "You sit."

Xiuning sat down, and the clerk came over to ask them to order food. Zeng's mother asked for a cup of coffee. Xiuning hadn't eaten at noon and couldn't drink coffee on an empty stomach, so he only ordered a glass of milk.

"You should know exactly what I'm looking for you for." Sure enough, Zeng's mother's first sentence was this sentence.

"I know, but I have already answered that day." Xiuning said, looking at his mother-in-law.

Zeng's mother shook her head. She looked directly at Xiuning and said, "Since your love is peaceful, do you want him to lose his parents for the rest of his life?"

The first thing she said was the most heartless threat. The reason why she said it was because she knew it would be effective.

But this sentence may be valid, but she is facing Xiuning.

Xiuning also shook his head, he said slowly, "Auntie, you can always live here, I can also hold back Zeping, but that's all, there will be no other changes, you should know that Zeping has himself. choice, you can never force him."

Zeng's mother was startled. She didn't expect to get such a straightforward answer, and this answer was exactly what she was worried about. She could obstruct it, but she was not 100% sure that Zeping would change his mind, but she was a mother, She still couldn't accept that her son fell in love with a man, she couldn't accept that her son suddenly changed from a different love to a same love, how could this be easily accepted

"So, you won't give up on him?" Zeng mother asked again.

Xiuning looked at her and replied, "Yes."

"Then let me tell you now, I will force Zeping to give up on you." Zeng's mother looked at Xiuning with a lofty expression, as if she could dominate everything.

"You used 'force' to make Zeping suffer?" Xiu Ning asked calmly.

"He will know later that I did this for his own good." Mother Zeng said.

"What if he doesn't do well in the future? Can you guarantee it?" Xiu Ning asked.

"What about you? Can you?" Zeng mother asked coldly.

Xiuning shook his head. He fixedly looked at Zeng's mother, and said word by word, "No matter who he is with, I just hope that he will live well and be happy. If this person is me, then the same is true."

"Do you think I don't want to? I hope Zeping can live a happy life more than you, but because of you, he will have no children in the future, and he will have to endure other people's strange eyes, or you will hide at home forever. Okay?" Zeng's mother's voice was a bit stern, her eyes were sharp but not merciless, and she pointed at Xiuning.

This sentence hit Xiuning's sore spot, which was the reason why he would rather leave than say it in the first place.

But Zeng mother didn't know these things, she didn't know how much Xiuning paid for Zeping, how much she endured for this, she didn't know, so she said it without hesitation.

"I..." Xiuning really couldn't refute this, because
