"Ahahaha..." Jiang Zhong laughed awkwardly, and then greeted him nonchalantly, "Good morning, Mom."
"Well, good morning." Zheng Yinqiu looked up and down Jiang Zhong's pajamas and his messy hair, and said with a half-smile, "What are you doing standing here so stupidly?"
"I..." Jiang Chong was speechless.
Jiang Chengye and Xi Qin who were on the sofa in the living room looked over at the same time when they heard the voice. Jiang Zhong racked his brains to find an excuse, but when he turned around, he saw Xi Qin's expression of watching a drama.
Smelly Xi Chin.
Jiang Zhong thought of it: "I'll come down and wake Xi Qin up."
"But how do I see that you are ready to go upstairs?" Zheng Yinqiu obviously didn't believe it.
"As soon as I got here, I saw that he was already up," Jiang Zhong said again, "I thought I didn't need to call, so I was going to go back to wash up."
Jiang Zhong applauded his wit in his heart, his rhetoric was flawless.
Zheng Yinqiu nodded as expected: "That's right."
"Yes," Jiang Zhong hurriedly said, "That's it."
"Ren Xiaoxi has already woken up," Jiang Chengye from the other side of the sofa said, his voice was full of disgust, "Why do you have to wait for you who just woke up now?"
"That's right, but," Jiang Zhong was unconvinced, "Isn't my mother just getting up now? Why do you say I'm alone?"
Jiang Zhong clearly saw that his father's expression changed again and again, and in the end he was still speechless. He lightly "hummed" and turned his head as if nothing had happened. He picked up the oolong tea on the coffee table and took a sip.
"Who told you that I just got up now?" Zheng Yinqiu chose to stand by Jiang Chengye's side without hesitation when there were four of them, "Do I need time to choose clothes? Do I need time to put on makeup?"
Jiang Zhong looked at the delicate makeup on Zheng Yinqiu's face, and then turned his head to look at Xi Qin outside the play, knowing that Xi Qin on his side was not reliable at all, and his fighting power was no match for his parents , had to find another way.
"I won't tell you any more," Jiang Zhong led Zheng Yinqiu down, and went up the stairs by himself, "I'll go back and wash up first."
Zheng Yinqiu used to help him when his father scolded him, but today he turned around and questioned him, really...
It's all Xi Qin's fault for not helping him.
Jiang Zhong looked at Xi Qin through the glass railing as he went upstairs, and happened to meet Xi Qin's gaze that had been watching him.
Forget it, Jiang Zhong couldn't hold back the corners of his mouth, he blamed himself for getting up late and couldn't blame his boyfriend.
When he came down again, only Jiang Chengye was left in the living room watching the news.
"Dad." Jiang Zhong greeted, leaning over to look around.
"In the kitchen." Jiang Chengye said expressionlessly.
"What?"
"Aren't you looking for Xiaoxi?" Jiang Chengye stared at the TV and said calmly, "He and your mother are making breakfast in the kitchen."
"I didn't look for him," Jiang Zhong rubbed his nose, "I just took a look."
Jiang Chengye took the time to glance at him: "What do you see?"
"I didn't see anything," Jiang Zhong lifted his foot and slipped away, "I'll go to the kitchen to have a look."
"Brat..."
Jiang Zhong turned a deaf ear, straightened his collar and walked to the kitchen.
"Xiao Xi is quite skilled," Jiang Zhong heard Zheng Yinqiu's voice when he walked to the door, "I'm still worried that you and Jiang Zhong, two big boys, will only be able to order takeaway for dinner in the future."
"I know some home-cooked dishes," Xi Qin's voice was full of humility, "I cook it myself when I'm free."
"And I can also cook," Jiang Zhong interjected before Zheng Yinqiu could speak, "Why can I only order takeaway?"
Zheng Yinqiu was almost taken aback by Jiang Zhong's sudden utterance: "How dare you call yourself a cook if you did that?"
"Why can't you call?"
Zheng Yinqiu shook his head, only sighed and did not speak.
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Xi Qin," Jiang Zhong felt offended, "I made it for him last time, and it tastes good."
"Yes," Xi Qin said with a smile, "It's delicious."
Jiang Zhong raised his chin triumphantly: "Look."
Zheng Yinqiu: "..."
Her son is afraid that he wants to go to heaven.
"In this case," Zheng Yinqiu took off his apron and handed it to Jiang Zhong, "Then let you and Xiaoxi cook this meal."
The breakfast was pretty good, and with Jiang Zhong's "assistance", Xi Qin quickly made a serving for four people.
Jiang Zhong's family did not have the habit of "eating without talking". Zheng Yinqiu was full of praise for Xi Qin at the dinner table, and the expression on Jiang Zhong's face became more and more smug with the fucking praise.
"By the way," Zheng Yinqiu said to Jiang Zhong, "I'll go to your cousin's house to pay New Year's greetings in a while."
"Okay." Jiang nodded.
Zheng Yinqiu turned to Xi Qin again: "Xiao Xi, do you want to go together?"
Xi Qin swallowed the food in his mouth: "I will... not go."
"Okay," Zheng Yinqiu nodded in agreement, "I'll take you to meet people next year or after you both graduate."
Xi Qin's eyes lit up, and he said seriously, "Thank you, Auntie."
Jiang Zhong soon understood what Zheng Yinqiu meant, and hurriedly followed behind Xi Qin and said, "Thank you, Mom."
Zheng Yinqiu signaled no need, and said to Xi Qin: "At that time, your uncle will drive you home first, and we will go there."
"Don't bother," Xi Qin said, "I'll just take a taxi back."
"It's very convenient," Zheng Yinqiu said with a smile, "Since Jiang Zhong has brought you back, you don't have to be polite to your uncles and aunts."
"Thank you, uncle and aunt," Xi Qin said politely, "but it's really unnecessary. I live on the other side of the school, which is quite far away, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth."
"H big?" Zheng Yinqiu glanced at Jiang Zhong first, then turned to ask Xi Qin, "Where do you live alone?"
"Yeah." Xi Qin nodded.
Jiang Chong's eyes rolled left and right. When he went to Xi Qin's house to look for him two days ago, he seemed to tell Zheng Yinqiu where Xi Qin lived.
"That's good," Zheng Yinqiu didn't say much, "Be careful on the way back."
Jiang Zhong didn't know why Zheng Yinqiu didn't ask, but in order not to make Xi Qin feel uncomfortable, he decided to take the initiative to tell his parents about Xi Qin's family.
After breakfast, Jiang Zhong sent Xi Qin out first, and then came back to visit his cousin's house with Zheng Yinqiu and his wife after watching him get in the car.
Jiang Chengye drove, Zheng Yinqiu sat in the co-pilot, and Jiang Zhong brewed his emotions in the back seat.
"Mom, I have something to tell you."
"Wait," Zheng Yinqiu turned to look at him, "Should I be prepared in advance? The last time you spoke in this tone was to tell me that you are dating a boy."
Yeah? Jiang Zhong thought for a while, Zheng Yinqiu's memory is really good, he can't remember what he said.
"Isn't what you're going to say this time something that requires a lot of determination from your father and me to accept?" Zheng Yinqiu asked again.
"Probably not," Jiang Zhong wasn't quite sure, "it's about Xi Qin."
"Okay, tell me."
Then Jiang Zhong recounted all of Xi Qin's experience from junior high school to the present, using countless turning words and exclamation sentences.
Final summary: "... so he is basically living outside by himself now, because no one cares about him at home."
"That's it." Zheng Yinqiu's expression has changed from faint worry to frowning, "Xiao Xi is having a hard time."
"Yes," Jiang nodded heavily, "The last time I went to find him, he ran back to school from that house, and I almost cried out of anger."
"It's too much," Zheng Yinqiu said angrily, "But we don't want to get involved in other people's affairs. In the future, you will ask Xiaoxi to come to the house to play during the holidays."
"Okay." Jiang Zhong nodded again.
"Hey," Zheng Yinqiu still felt angry after thinking about it. She and Jiang Chengye were both afraid that Jiang Zhong would blame them for not being with him less, and they couldn't hear any parents who treated their children badly. Xi moved to live at home, just when we are busy, he has a companion with you."
"Okay." Jiang Zhong nodded again.
"Forget it, forget it, this won't work," Zheng Yinqiu denied the previous statement again, "Children like them have the most sensitive minds, and doing so will make him feel uncomfortable."
"Well then," Jiang Zhong took the opportunity to say, "When you and my dad are busy, I'll go to the school to accompany him."
"Okay," Zheng Yinqiu agreed, "that's it."
Xi Qin: Auntie really said that
Jiang Zhong chatted with Xi Qin openly at his cousin's house.
Jiang Zhong: Yes, my mother said that things between elders should not affect children
Jiang Zhong: So they don’t mind your family’s affairs
Xi Qin: Uncles and aunts are so kind
Jiang Zhong pursed his lips and smiled.
Jiang Zhong: You have said this sentence many times
Jiang Zhong: My mother also said, let me spend more time with you when I am free
Xi Qin: Thank you
Xi Qin: Boyfriend is also very good
Jiang Zhong: They say they are boyfriends, so don’t say thank you to me
Xi Qin: Okay, don’t say thank you
Xi Qin: Boyfriend, I love you
Jiang Zhong was stunned for a few seconds, and slowly spit out a word: "Damn..."
"Huh?" The youngest son of the cousin's family turned around and asked, "What did Brother Jiang Zhong say?"
"No," Jiang Zhong put the phone upside down on his lap, "it's nothing."
"Is it very hot?" The youngest son of my cousin's family looked innocent, "Your face and ears are so red."
"A little bit," Jiang Zhong nodded in embarrassment, "Your house is really well heated."
"It's okay, maybe you wear a lot of clothes." The younger son of the cousin's family took an orange from the coffee table, "Then you should eat more fruit."
"Okay," Jiang Zhong rubbed his cousin's hair, "Thank you."
Jiang Zhong ate three oranges in one go, and only then did he feel the heat on his face drop.
Smelly Xi Chin.
so suddenly...
The phone in his pocket vibrated again, and Jiang Zhong hurriedly threw the orange peel into the trash can.
Xi Qin: How about you not be shy after such a long time
Xi Qin: Could it be that he was scared away
Jiang Zhong puffed up one cheek.
Jiang Zhong: Who is shy
Xi Qin: I don’t know, it’s not me anyway
Jiang Zhong: It's not me either
Jiang Zhong: It’s just a piece of news, why should I be shy
Xi Qin: Understood
Xi Qin: Next time we meet, I will tell you personally
Jiang Zhong put the phone upside down on his lap again, stuffed it into his pocket after thinking about it, and decided not to look at it until he returned from his cousin's house.
