After He Feimo finished telling his story, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time. If it was because of myself that the loved one died, no one would let it go. It's no wonder that He Feimo is so taciturn now. From his narration, He must have been talkative and cheerful in the past.
I didn’t know how to comfort He Feimo, who seemed to be stuck in sad memories. I could only sit with him and say nothing. It was the first time He Feimo chatted with me in such depth and talked about his past. Behind his reticence is a regrettable and sad story.
At this time, a call came from my uncle, saying that the food was ready and that He Feimo could be brought up. I looked at the time and realized that He Feimo and I had been chatting for nearly two hours without realizing it.
"The past cannot be changed. Cherish the present. There are always many things in life that you cannot control." I gave He Feimo a few concluding words to comfort him. In fact, I was really at a loss for words at this time.
"I know." He Feimo nodded: "Thank you."
I laughed dryly. The gossip questions I asked revealed other people's sad stories. What could I deserve to be thanked for? I stood up and pointed to the building where my family lived and said, "Let's go. You are a guest." It's time to have a meal downstairs at my house and entertain you."
He Feimo smiled: "Okay."
After I got home, a tempting aroma of food hit my nostrils. I knew that my uncle must have cooked a lot of delicious food. My uncle came out of the kitchen with a plate of garlic vegetables. When he saw us coming back, he greeted us warmly: " You're back, Yanyan, hurry up and let your friend sit down for dinner."
I pointed to the dining table: "Sit anywhere you want."
"Okay." He Feimo seemed a little restrained. After all, this was a visit to my home, not to discuss business. He had all the restraints a guest should have. It's rare to see He Feimo like this.
I went to the sofa and took my grandma on my arm to sit down at the dining table. Grandma's mood must have relaxed a little. After she saw He Feimo, a smile appeared on her face, with a hint of inquiry: "You are our Yanyan's friend, right? "
"Yes, grandma." He Feimo was surprisingly gentle in front of my grandma, acting like a primary school student answering the teacher's questions.
"Oh, ok, our Yanyan friends are all pretty good. Yanyan, how do you know each other?" Grandma got interested and asked me.
I thought for a while and answered: "Work."
"Oh, is this also a child of the Liang family?" Grandma asked suddenly. Her eyes were a little cloudy, and she could only vaguely see a little worry. My parents didn't agree with Liang Sheng and I, and grandma knew that, so she Worry.
He Feimo answered before me: "Grandma, you misunderstood. My surname is He, and my name is He Feimo."
After hearing what He Feimo said, grandma was obviously relieved. She suddenly became happy and took He Feimo's hand without any unfamiliarity. I was confused for a while. He Feimo looked at me with his deep eyes. I winked, hoping he would cooperate, because I probably expected what grandma was going to say next.
"Xiao He, are you married?" Grandma asked directly. I was drinking soup and almost spit it out. She looked at He Feimo with a smile, and the corners of He Feimo's mouth raised: "No, Grandma."
Unexpectedly, He Feimo, a person who usually seemed to cherish words like gold, would be sweet and smooth when he called her "grandma". As expected, people cannot be judged by their appearance.
My uncle made a sumptuous breakfast that was supposed to be simple. There were steamed pork with mashed potatoes, spicy chicken, boiled pork slices, shredded beef with garlic moss, and so on. The dishes were all delicious and delicious. However, he couldn't stop grandma's mouth at all. She listened. After He Feimo said he was not married, his joy was beyond words, and my uncle and I were left eating the whole meal to avoid causing huge waste.
"What kind of girl does Xiao He like?" After grandma asked about He Feimo's work, family and private life, she finally entered the final stage. I took a piece of steamed meat and put it in her bowl: "Grandma, let's have a good meal. .”
"You eat what you have." Grandma didn't want to talk to me at all and was waiting for He Feimo's answer.
I winked at He Feimo and told him not to answer, because no matter how he answered, my grandmother would forcefully find those standards in me and recommend them to He Feimo, and I would be embarrassed.
There seemed to be a smile in He Feimo's eyes, and I had an ominous feeling that this guy would cheat me!
Sure enough, He Feimo said something that made me choke with blood: "I think someone like Shen Yan is quite good."
My uncle was so shocked that he choked while eating. He looked at me with questions in his eyes, because he knew that I had a boyfriend, but it wasn't He Feimo. My mother must have mentioned Liang Sheng's matter to him.
"Don't talk nonsense!" I couldn't help but speak out. Grandma wished that I would get married. If only a man as outstanding as He Feimo would be better, He Feimo's words would push me into a pit of fire.
"Why are you talking nonsense?" Grandma scolded me quickly: "They are complimenting you, and you are not happy about it? Xiao He, our words are indeed good, but she is not married yet..."
I am speechless and shed a thousand lines of tears.
When He Feimo saw that I was suffering from embarrassment, he rescued me seriously: "Shen Yan is a good girl, but we are just good friends, and the person she likes is also my friend."
Grandma's eyes dimmed immediately. She said "Oh" and started eating her meal in disappointment. Seeing her so disappointed, her uncle quickly advised her: "Don't worry too much. A girl with such a good speech will have many people chasing her." , are you still afraid that you won’t be able to get married?”
"Grandma, don't worry!" I comforted her.
"Oh, it's difficult." Grandma sighed, which suddenly made me feel heavy.
After dinner, He Feimo and I accompanied my grandma to watch the Peking Opera. I couldn't urge others to leave just after they finished eating. My uncle was busy getting fruits and cleaning up. I blushed for a while. As a woman, I So lazy.
He Feimo also looked at my brother-in-law intentionally or unintentionally, with a somewhat searching look in his eyes.
"Does your brother-in-law have a girlfriend?" He Feimo asked a strange question when sending He Feimo downstairs. Is he still worried about this
"Yes, I am also working for Yuan Sheng now, and I am now Chu Jin's assistant." I answered simply.
"Your brother-in-law is quite nice." After walking out of the corridor, He Feimo and I were walking in the community. His car was parked not far from the entrance of the community. We were chatting while walking. His words seemed a bit strange: "But don't be deceived. good."
"What do you mean?" I stopped and asked.
He Feimo stopped following my footsteps. He walked in front of me on the left side and looked back at me: "Good people are always vulnerable to harm, so a word of warning."
I felt that He Feimo was hiding something, but I also knew that if He Feimo didn't want to tell me, it would be in vain for me to ask. I had an intuition that he was reminding me about my uncle and Jiang Duo.
Jiang Duo... My heart gradually sank.
"You still need to pay attention to your feet. They are not completely healed yet. Take a good rest." He Feimo told me before leaving. I remembered what he said to my grandmother, hesitated, and asked: "He Feimo, let me ask you A question."
As soon as He Feimo opened the car door, he heard my words and closed the door again, "What's the problem?"
I asked: "Is what you said to my grandma true?"
Are you really my good friend? All the embarrassments that happened between us can be let go, right? I hope He Feimo answers "yes" because I think he is a friend worth making, and I don't want to lose a friendship that may be precious.
He Feimo's eyes suddenly darkened a little, and he couldn't understand his emotions. He stared at me and asked, "What did you say?"
"The one about us being good friends."
He Feimo didn't answer as quickly as I expected, but in the end he nodded, "What I said is never a lie."
My heart suddenly relaxed and my face became relaxed. I smiled and said, "That's good. Mr. He must have meant what he said! Then have a nice trip back!"
"Well, you go back." He Feimo said.
I turned around and walked back without being polite. I didn't see the hot gaze behind me. It was only after a long time that I understood what he meant by "never a lie". All his words were true, that is. Including that he thinks it’s good for me to find a girlfriend.
I dragged a semi-disabled leg around the community. I was afraid that my grandma would start asking He Feimo again when I went back. I found a bench to sit down and rested. My birthday was coming soon. , I don’t really have any hope of having such an unforgettable birthday. I used to have Yuan Yushan every year, but now I won’t. I took a breath and went home!
