Xun Yuming's current score is far behind Zhuang Yi, but he is not to blame, because he was born with a stupid mouth, and he couldn't argue with Zhuang Yi.
Every time he does something, Zhuang Yi can accurately and timely grasp his little braids, and then spout a grand argument, so that he can only nod obediently and admit defeat.
If he still can't get back to the situation by the end of the month, God knows how Zhuang Yi will deal with him, and he probably has no good ideas.
Xun Yuming is not afraid of him instigating himself, nor too afraid of him making unreasonable demands, but afraid of him asking some embarrassing questions that are hard to say, that's the embarrassment.
So he must not lose.
"What are you thinking about?" Zhuang Yi held the steering wheel and glanced back at him, "Are you absent-minded, are you afraid?"
"What if..." Xun Yuming came back to his senses and looked at him sadly, "What if your parents don't like my gift?"
"How is it possible." Zhuang Yi smiled, feeling that he was too worried, "As long as it is a gift from you, it is a piece of grass, and they will also be used as willow branches in the jade bottle of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Don't think about it, you haven't seen it before. them."
"How can it be the same." I met Zhuang Yi's parents before, either in the hospital or in crowded places, and never had a private chat alone.
What's more, they are naturally polite and grateful to the attending doctor, but it is another matter to treat their son's partner.
In fact, Xun Yuming is not confident that he can satisfy Zhuang Yi's parents. After all, there are too many excellent people, and Zhuang Yi's family is full of talents. He will not underestimate himself, but in terms of personality alone, there are many more lively and cheerful people than him.
Moreover, he sighed with a bitter face: "If I knew I should buy something, it would be too tacky to send a card. Your parents are so picky, they must think I am not particular."
"You've wronged them, my parents are very casual people." Zhuang Yi smiled, "It's great to give a card, you can buy whatever you want, it's no better than giving them a gift they don't like, and throwing it away. No, it's not good to stay?"
That being said, Xun Yuming thought the same way at the beginning, but he was empty-handed when they approached the meeting, and always felt something was wrong.
"You're like this when you meet my parents. If I take you to meet my grandparents in the future, aren't you going to be scared to death?" Zhuang Yi looked at him and sighed.
The black car drove on the coastal road, passed through the long undersea tunnel, and crossed the perennial green national forest park. Beach No. 1 was the community where his parents lived.
Xun Yuming is usually too busy to go out often, but this is the first time he has come here. He only feels that the surrounding greenery is very good. The palm groves are tall and vast, and the leaves of the banyan trees cover the vines. Row of windows in a townhouse.
Zhuang Yi parked the car in the underground garage, walked through a toughened glass door, and took him to the elevator.
Xun Yuming saw him press the sixty-sixth floor, he couldn't help being surprised: "So high?"
"The top floor." Zhuang Yi held a large bag of branches in his left hand, and put his right hand on his shoulder, "My parents like to grow flowers, and there is a small garden on the top of the building."
"Then why don't you just buy a house with a yard?" Xun Yuming looked at the quiet location in the middle of the bustle, and the high-rise buildings in the sun. Presumably, the property price here is enough to buy the small detached house they live in now.
"Then you have to ask my mother." Zhuang Yi bent his lips, "She said that she can live in a bungalow in this lifetime."
There was a "ding" sound from the elevator, and Xun Yuming was about to step out when he looked up and saw Zhuang Yi's father standing in front of him, smiling at them.
"Uncle... oh no, uncle." Xun Yuming was taken aback, and immediately didn't know where to put his hands and feet, so he bowed in a daze, "Hello."
"Hi, don't be so polite." Zhuang Yi's father and Zhuang Yi's looks are quite similar, only a pair of pupils are two sizes lighter than his, but the facial features are equally profound.
Xun Yuming's heart was beating so fast that he entered the room and took off his coat, while turning his head to stare at Zhuang Yi: "Why didn't you tell me that your house is accessed by an elevator?!"
He thought that the elevator was in the corridor, and there was still a period of buffer time to prepare him mentally. Who knew that when he opened the door, he would be confronted with the face of Zhuang Yi's father.
Zhuang Yi gave him a pair of striped slippers, and changed into the one-size-larger plaid slippers himself. He entered the door and asked Zhuang Muduo, "Dad, why are you standing here? You're frightening people."
"Really?" Zhuang Muduo smiled and looked at Xun Yuming, "I'm sorry."
"No, no, no!" Xun Yuming hurriedly waved his hands, "Don't listen to his nonsense."
"Mingming!" Qin Xueyan poked his head out from the back room when he heard the movement, "You're here, sit down quickly."
"Hello, Auntie." Xun Yuming felt that the word "Auntie" was unusually awkward, but he couldn't address him as "Auntie", so he had to call him first.
Qin Xueyan is curling her wig in the room. Since the operation, she has spent twice as much time on styling her hair every day than usual, for fear that her hair will not be natural enough.
Zhuang Man lay on the sofa playing games with his feet crossed, waved to Xun Yuming, and said hello lazily: "Hi."
"Sister." Xun Yuming nodded, sat next to her, and whispered for help: "You need to help me."
He didn't know what to do, Zhuang Yi was unreliable, if he had an ally, he could still calm down.
"No problem." Zhuang Man poked frantically at the lower right corner of the screen with her thumb, and she sniped and killed the enemies on the screen one by one. She was so calm in her busy schedule that she was able to distract herself from chatting with Xun Yuming, "Are you confessing to my brother? "
"Well, we're reconciled." Xun Yuming whispered, "There was an error in the test report, I'm not sick, hehe."
"What?" Zhuang Man was startled, and the phone "slapped" onto the taupe marble tile, "Really? How could it be like this?"
"It's true, we are going to sue the appraisal agency." Xun Yuming was excited and annoyed at the same time, but now the excitement prevailed, and the annoyance gradually faded away.
Zhuang Man breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't know what to say: "... I really don't know whether to be happy or regretful."
"Of course I'm happy." Zhuang Yi brought two strawberries from the kitchen, handed one to Zhuang Man, and fed the other to Xun Yuming, "The psychological burden is gone, so I can take Mingming to see my grandmother .”
"You should go there." Zhuang Muduo came out with a glass basin of bright red strawberries, put them on the round glass coffee table, facing Xun Yuming. "I haven't been back for a long time, Grandma and Gramdpa miss you both."
Qin Xueyan packed up and came out, and said, "Yes, why don't you two go for Christmas? Let your grandparents see Mingming, and Xiaoman will go too."
"I won't go!" Zhuang Man refused with a strawberry in his mouth, "Let them go by themselves."
"Don't be like this," Zhuang Muduo patted her on the shoulder, coaxing her with a slight smile, "You must be very disappointed if you don't go to Grandma."
"Oh forget it!" Zhuang Man cried out in pain, and said in English: "Grandma hates me! She hates me!"
Xun Yuming looked at Zhuang Yi in puzzlement, Zhuang Yi shook his head at him, motioning him not to worry, "Let's go, I'll take you to the garden."
"Go with him, Mingming." Qin Xueyan got up and sent them to the utility room, then walked back with his slippers on.
Zhuang Yi pushed open the door, took the lead to climb the wooden stairs beside the balcony, and stretched out his hand to pull Xun Yuming up to the roof.
"Look, this is the proud work of my parents." Zhuang Yi waved his hand, behind him was a sea of blue waves and green trees, but it was above a hundred meters above the sky.
The glass room is as warm as spring, with a faint fragrance. Although it is early winter, there are many tropical flowers blooming, magnificent and coquettish, making people dazzled.
Xun Yuming stood in front of a clump of neatly trimmed camellias, and asked with a smile, "Did you learn how to grow flowers from your parents?"
"I'm just planting blindly to pass the time." Zhuang Yi took his thin and cool hand and walked slowly into the depths of the flowers and trees, "My father learned it because my mother likes to learn. The roof of the building is thin, and he spent a lot of time It takes the mind to support so many flowers."
"Your parents have such a good relationship." Xun Yuming was half sighing, half envious, "No wonder a son like you was born."
"Now you know how good I am?" Zhuang Yi stopped in front of the Damascus roses all over the wall. The sea of pink flowers made the atmosphere romantic and sweet at the moment. He held up Xun Yuming's face, lowered his head and kissed his eyes, "This That sentence deserves two points."
"It's only two points?" Xun Yuming pursed his lips, but there was a smile on his lips.
Zhuang Yiying's straight nose was close to his temples, and a light fragrance floated into his nostrils. I don't know if it was the fragrance of flowers or his body fragrance. "If you perform well today, I will give you ten points. You have to work hard, just in case by the end of January." If you lose to me, my punishment is very severe."
"If you lose, it's fine if you don't get a reward, why should you still punish me?" Xun Yuming lowered his head and muttered, "You know how to say, don't you punish me every month?"
"Then you have to behave well." Zhuang Yi couldn't put it down for him. Xun Yuming's frown, smile, look, movement, and changing expression were all so precious and beautiful in his eyes.
Just like a bottle of colored glass facing the sun, no matter which angle it is, the refracted light is equally dazzling.
Xun Yuming sneered at him softly, "I'll go and give your parents gifts."
He fumbled in his pocket, but couldn't find the card, frowned, then went to his other pocket, "Did you see my shopping card?"
"Didn't you hold it yourself?" Zhuang Yi shrugged, "Look carefully to see if there is any in the coat."
"It must be in the coat pocket." Xun Yuming hurriedly went downstairs to the living room, his windbreaker was hanging in the cloakroom just now when he entered the door.
Zhuang Yi went there with him, took out his coat and looked through it, but found nothing. Xun Yuming became more and more anxious, faintly feeling that he was lost, but he didn't want to believe it, his heart was fluctuating, he was apprehensive, and his footsteps became flustered.
"Where are you going?" Zhuang Man came out of the bathroom, just in time to see the two of them change their shoes and go out. "Dinner is ready now."
Zhuang Yi took the car keys and said: "He left his things in the car, let's go get them, and we'll be back in a while."
Xun Yuming hurriedly ran into the elevator, pressed down on the first floor, his annoyance was written all over his face, "What if I'm not in the car?"
That was a full 10,000 yuan, and his monthly salary was only a few 10,000 yuan, and it was the only gift he gave Zhuang Yi's parents.
"If you're not here, you're not here. It's enough to worry about losing the card. It's even worse if you ruin your mood because of it." Zhuang Yi rubbed his vest and comforted him softly, "Don't panic, think about the last time you saw the card. What time is it?"
"It was in the laboratory. I picked it up from the table and put it in my trouser pocket." Xun Yuming was wearing the same clothes today. He had never taken it out. When he went out, he took it for granted that the card was in his pocket. Notify me.
"Think about it again." Zhuang Yi said, "Maybe, you took it out in the middle and put it somewhere."
"Impossible." Xun Yuming put money in the safest way in his life. He usually remembers every account clearly. When spending one yuan and two cents, he will never round it up to one yuan and two cents, let alone a card worth 10,000 yuan.
Zhuang Yi walked out of the elevator first, opened the glass door, and opened the car door with him to search everywhere, "Look under the floor mat, maybe it fell inside."
"No, I'm not in the car at all." Xun Yuming was sweating profusely, and lifted the cushion, but there was nothing under it.
He was angry and hated, wronged and regretful in his heart, really wanted to slap himself twice, "I can't find it." He sat down on the ground.
"Don't be discouraged." Zhuang Yi closed the door and went to his side, squatting down to pull him: "Get up quickly, it's cold in the ground."
"It must have been lost..." Xun Yuming sniffed, and his mouth could not be restrained, "So much money!"
As he said that, a teardrop fell on Zhuang Yi's arm along his eyelashes, and his heart ached like sulfuric acid.
"Fool, isn't it just two cards?" Zhuang Yi wiped his tears and pulled him up vigorously, "Why are you getting heavier and heavier, even I can't pull it?"
Xun Yuming was so aggrieved that his chest was aching, his whole figure was like clockwork, and he didn't want to move at all. He barely stood up, leaning against the car and choked up, but there were no tears, he just lowered his head sadly.
"Okay." Zhuang Yi suddenly wanted to laugh, forced him into his arms, and comforted him along the hair on the back of his head, "Isn't it just two cards, I will pay you back, okay? Let's look for it when we go home." , maybe lost at home."
"That's right!" Xun Yuming's eyes suddenly lit up, "I haven't looked for it yet at home." Then he became sluggish, "But what are you giving your parents?"
"Didn't I bring something?" Zhuang Yi closed the car door, put his arms around his waist and walked back, "Those are the flower seedlings that I asked someone to bring, they are more expensive than your two cards, and they also please my parents. It’s okay to say you sent it?”
"Alright."
When Xun Yuming returned home dejectedly, Qin Xueyan just greeted them for dinner, Zhuang Yi took him to the bathroom to wash his hands, and sat down at the dining table.
Zhuang Muduo sat in the middle, Qin Xueyan sat next to Zhuang Man, and Xun Yuming sat opposite Zhuang Yi.
"How is Mingming's work recently?" Zhuang Muduo took a sip of the red wine in front of him, and motioned for Xun Yuming to taste it too.
Xun Yuming looked at Zhuang Yi, got permission, and took a sip, "Very good, the experiments on mice and monkeys were successful, we have submitted the application, and we can transplant it to real people after approval."
"It's good if you have confidence." Zhuang Muduo took another sip and said with a smile: "I heard from Zhuang Yi that you are going to bring grandpa home. You are usually so busy with work, can you take care of him?"
"We hired a nurse, it doesn't matter." Zhuang Yi cut off.
"Don't tire yourself out too much." Zhuang Muduo smiled at Xun Yuming. "Let Zhuang Yi help you more if you have something to do, the family doesn't need to make a clear distinction."
Xun Yuming said "Yes" and nodded: "Thank you uncle."
"You still call me uncle?" Zhuang Muduo hooked the corners of his mouth, with a meaningful smile on his face.
Both of Xun Yuming's ears turned red.
The author has something to say: As we all know, I lost two thousand cards.
