I haven't been in touch with my family for several months since the New Year's meal. Although he promised Shen Luoyu to find time to go home, but he kept putting it off, subconsciously putting this matter on the last item of all agency matters, and there are always higher priorities in life that surpass it, surpass it, and surpass it.
When Bei Yan called, I was in bed with me in the hospital. When I saw that it was him, I didn't avoid it, and picked it up in front of Shang Muxiao.
"Hello? What's wrong?"
Beiyan didn't seem to have expected me to answer the phone at all, and was taken aback by my voice, "Ah" before speaking for a long time.
"Brother..." he said timidly, "Saturday, can you come back? I...my birthday is that day."
I was stunned for a moment, remembering that it was indeed his birthday. In the past, even if I didn’t go home for dinner, I would send my birthday present home in advance, but I’ve been so busy these days that I forgot about it.
If any of my parents called, I could find an excuse to avoid going home for dinner. But to Beiyan, I really couldn't bear to refuse.
Children are always innocent, no matter how quarrelsome the adults are. And... I glanced at Shang Mu Xiao, who was carefully peeling the grape skins on the bed. Since some things are inevitable, instead of being embarrassed and broken like Yang Haiyang, it is better to confess earlier, or take the initiative in your own hands.
"Okay, got it. I'll be home on Saturday."
Bei Yan changed his timid tone, and his voice was full of joy: "Then it's settled, you can't lie to me!"
"Don't lie to you, I'll bring you a present back then."
He cheered: "Thank you brother, you are the best!"
A peeled grape was suddenly stuffed into his mouth. The flesh was sweet and sour, with a faint rose scent.
Although I love drinking wine, I usually don't like fresh grapes very much. I always feel that the taste is too weird, but now Shang Muxiao personally presented it, and I had to accept this sweet fruit with his hand.
He watched me eat, with a satisfied smile on his face, leaned over and placed a kiss on my forehead, silently uttered the word "good", and proceeded to peel off another.
"...Brother, how is the puppy?"
In a flash, he almost missed Bei Yan's question.
"Well, it's pretty good." The scent of roses made my tongue fragrant, and I clearly didn't like it, but now staring at the blue grapes in Shang Muxiao's hand, I couldn't help but have some expectations in my heart, "Its owner is right He's fine, he's happy now. Would you like to meet him? I can bring him to see you on Saturday."
"Really? I think, of course I do." Beiyan was excited, "Then come back early on Saturday, I'll wait for you!"
Hanging up the phone, I didn't have time to say a word, and another grape came over.
Shang Muxiao said: "Although Yang Haiyang is stupid, the grapes in the store are quite good, sweet and big, and there are no seeds."
When Yang Haiyang and Shang Yunrou came to visit the patient, they brought a lot of fruits and health care products. Most of the fruit fell into Shang Muxiao's stomach. Because most of the health care products were calcium tablets and chicken essence, Shang Muxiao thought he couldn't use it at this stage, so he asked me to give it to those who needed it.
A day ago I didn't know where the people I needed were, but now I have direction. Reach out and don't hit the smiling face, and accept the gift. Maybe my parents will... be less angry.
"I'm going home on Saturday," I said, swallowing the grapes. "My brother's birthday."
Shang Muxiao nodded when he heard the words: "Well, I just heard, you have to bring the egg yolk over there."
"You eat by yourself, don't eat seafood, text me when you're bored, don't drink, don't smoke, you know?"
He was hospitalized for three days. Except for a wound of about two centimeters on his forehead, which was not completely healed, there was no serious problem. Even the symptoms of concussion disappeared on the third day, and he could be discharged tomorrow.
"Got it." He held a grape and raised his hand to swear, "The grape is the proof, I will strive to be a good student and not let the teacher worry." After speaking, he threw the grape into his mouth.
When I came out of the hospital, the time agreed with Shen Luoyu was approaching. I rushed to the 4s store, and sure enough, she was already waiting at the gate.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard her say, "I just wanted to understand, didn't you buy this car for yourself?"
"Of course not." After locking the car, I entered the 4s store with her.
Cars for disabled people with paralyzed lower limbs need to be specially customized. Generally, 4S stores do not sell them.
"Then who did you buy it for? Your parents? It's not always..." She stood still and wondered, "Did you buy it for me?"
I glanced at her and continued inside: "No, I bought it for my partner."
There was silence behind him, and after a while, the sound of heels hitting the ground suddenly sounded.
"You... You're in love again?" Shen Luoyu hurried to catch up, "When did it happen, why didn't you say anything?"
"Not 'again'."
I stopped to correct her, she looked at me suspiciously, and didn't respond for a long time.
"It was the one from the beginning, I got back with him."
"Reconciled?" It could be seen that she was shocked that I would get back together. She always knew my character, and she probably wondered why I was so sloppy this time.
After digesting herself for a while, she calmed down: "That's good, the relationship is more stable. Seeing that you even gave away the car, this time it should be completely settled, right?"
"Well, it's settled."
When I came to the front desk, Daoming wanted to come, and the lady at the front desk asked me to wait in the reception room, saying that the salesperson would be here soon.
There is a self-service coffee machine in the corner of the reception room. Shen Luoyu made a cup of coffee for himself and asked me back if I wanted it.
"No, I don't drink coffee," I said.
She sat across from me with coffee and said, "Since it's settled, get the certificate early, get the wedding done, and let my mother distract her attention. Don't keep staring at me to get married."
"Aren't you planning to get married?" She was four years older than me, and now she is in her thirties, the age at which most girls are married and have children.
"No, it's good to be alone." She blew the coffee and said indifferently, "It's not that two people are not good, it's just... Other people's suitable living conditions may not be suitable for me. I have a clear self-awareness, A person is at his best, and nothing else is happy."
I nodded: "then don't get married, how are you happy."
There is not necessarily only one pattern in life, and the eyes of others are not that important.
"My mother is always worried about what I will do when I grow old without a child. If I don't have a child, I have to die. If I have a child, I have to die. Can I live forever if I have a child?" The bitterness and endless complaints, "In order to have someone to take care of me in the doomed unhappy days before my death, I must sacrifice my happiness to marry and have children now. How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world?"
After speaking, she felt that it was wrong, and solemnly stated: "Of course, I am very supportive and happy for others to get married and have children. Everyone comes to the world for different purposes. My purpose is just to enjoy the scenery alone."
I also had this idea before, but now because of Shang Muxiao, this idea has changed slightly - I want to enjoy the scenery of this world, and Shang Muxiao two people.
"Saturday Beiyan's birthday, are you going with your aunt?" I asked.
With them around, the atmosphere can be eased somewhat, and my parents won't get angry in public.
Shen Luoyu thought for a while and said, "It seems to have gone. What, called you? Are you going?"
"Um."
"Then take your partner back by the way, so that your parents won't get along with you forever."
"not very convenient."
"Do you still go to work on Saturday? No, you said that the other party is much younger than you, so he's not still studying, right?"
"No more reading."
"Oh, is that at work?"
I was silent for a moment, and said, "He is a racing driver. He accidentally crashed his car during training two days ago and was injured a little bit. He will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. At present, he is mainly recuperating."
Since I was honest with Yu Xixi, and then publicly admitted to Lu Yue and the others that Shang Muxiao is my lover, and then to Yang Haiyang a few days ago, I have become more and more proficient at coming out of the closet.
Some things are the hardest at the beginning, but as long as you open an opening, everything will come naturally.
"Racing... the driver?" Shen Luoyu held the coffee cup, stunned for a few seconds, and said with a dry smile, "It's cool for girls to do this."
I calmly said: "Men, my object is a boy."
Shen Luoyu froze for a moment, the expression on his face was cracked inch by inch, his hands shook, and the coffee was spilled out, but fortunately most of it dripped on the tray, and the clothes were not stained.
I continued: "The one you saw, the one you met at my house that day, Yang Haiyang's brother-in-law, Shang Muxiao."
She took a deep breath and put the coffee cup on the coffee table, as if her tongue had been burned, and her mouth was shaking for a long time, unable to say a word.
"you… "
"Just as I support your choice, I want you to support mine."
Although other people's opinions are not important, I still hope that my relationship can be recognized by my relatives. I hope... Shen Luoyu and aunt can like Shang Muxiao and let him experience more warmth from family.
The emotions that are getting more and more full day by day gradually fill the once dry and dead heart, it becomes alive, and I just want to give the best things in the world to my beloved boy, so that he has no troubles, and let him not. No longer afraid of rainy nights.
Love makes people brave, but also makes people timid. Love is so contradictory, yet so unified, it is the collection of all desires, and it is the lifelong mortal enemy of loneliness.
I saw that Shen Luoyu didn't speak, I thought she couldn't accept it all at once, and wanted to know it with reason and emotion, she patted the sofa and became excited.
"I knew it! I had doubts at that time, no, actually I began to doubt you when you were a teenager! I even suspected you and Yang Haiyang, but after he got married, I thought I was wrong. , I didn't expect you to be."
I was taken aback by her, and when I realized what she meant in her words, I couldn't help laughing.
"Want to bless me?"
She stared at me and smiled without saying a word, but judging from her relaxed expression, the answer was yes.
After looking at me for a moment, she sighed with emotion and said, "Is it really settled?"
"Well." In order to show my determination, I used a metaphor that is not very appropriate but can reflect my state of mind, "I am the kind of... If he is a girl, I may make a very selfish choice, I can't help but love to keep him by my side."
This is of course an impossible assumption, but if I am heterosexual, and Shang Muxiao happens to be a girl, facing his offensive, I may eventually disintegrate rationally and succumb to love, even if I know that I can't give it to him Happily, I still want to keep him by my side.
"Understood." Shen Luoyu snapped his fingers and understood what I meant in an instant, "The madness of the sensible, the despicability of the noble, you have done something you would never do, it is true love."
After picking up the car and completing the formalities, Shen Luoyu helped me drive the car back to the community and parked at the position closest to the elevator.
When leaving, she patted me on the shoulder and said, "You are getting better and better. My sister is especially happy for you, and my mother will be happy too. Don't worry about her, I'll tell, aunt and uncle... I'll let me Mom, try it."
I shook my head and declined her kindness: "No, my own parents, I'll say it myself."
Seeing that I had made up my mind, Shen Luoyu did not persuade me any further.
"That's ok, then my mother and I will play support next to you, and we will help you push the tower smoothly." After that, she waved her hand and turned away.
