Luo Jingyu was almost used to being splashed with basins of cold water.
Fang Xu is not optimistic, Yue Qi is not optimistic, and now even his own mother is not optimistic.
They all believe that deaf people can only find deaf partners. Even if they find a hearing person as an alternative, the other person must be disabled like them.
Yan Yajuan and Luo Jingyu chatted for a long time, constantly analyzing for her son how difficult it would be to find a healthy girl to date:
Would her parents agree
She doesn't know sign language. Will there really be no problems in communication between them over time
Can she withstand the pressure from the outside world
How to solve children’s problems
Will she give birth or not? Will she agree if she doesn't? Will her family agree
If the child has hearing problems, will she be able to love the child with the same empathy as a deaf mother? If she cannot accept such a child, will she just walk away
If they broke up, could Luo Jingyu withstand the pain of a broken heart
Yan Yajuan couldn't understand why her son wanted to date such a girl. He was at a disadvantage when he was with a hearing person. They were not equal from the beginning. Luo Jingyu had been introverted since childhood and had almost no contact with girls. His first date was so surprising.
Looking at the sweet smiles of the two young people in the photo, they do look very compatible, but Yan Yajuan knows that this is too difficult! Her little son is so stupid, what if he falls in and can't climb out
When communicating with his mother, Luo Jingyu remained calm and tried to explain that he took this relationship very seriously and had considered it carefully, and he would not regret it even if the result was not good.
Looking at her mother's anxious expression while signing, Luo Jingyu wondered how strange it was for him and Huanhuan to be together. Was he too brave, or was Huanhuan too crazy
But they are obviously attracted to each other, and that kind of love cannot be hidden. He can feel Huanhuan's feelings, and he treats Huanhuan wholeheartedly.
Later, it was Luo Xiaomei who came to comfort her mother. Her sister supported him. Perhaps because she had experienced a relationship with Gao Yuan, she was tolerant of the fact that Zhan Xi had no hearing problems.
Luo Xiaomei used sign language to her mother: Xiaoyu is a good boy. As long as he can get along well with the girl, they can try to be together. Only after trying can we know whether they are suitable. If they are not suitable, we can separate. Xiaoyu has grown up and knows his limits. This is the first time he likes a girl and she likes him too. We should bless him.
However, Luo Xiaomei still reminded Luo Jingyu: Xiaoyu, before we talk about marriage, you'd better not do anything inappropriate to a girl, even if she is willing. You should understand what I mean, right
Luo Jingyu blushed. He never thought that one day his sister would come to discuss this topic with him so seriously. In fact, he thought so without his sister reminding him. It was not something he could not bear. He had been single for so many years.
Life is really long. Ordinary people will have troubles when they get together. For example, Huanhuan's brother and sister-in-law, Luo Jingyu knew they were getting divorced. And in the eyes of the world, he and Huanhuan are people who have a wall between them. The beginning of a relationship may be romantic and pure, but going forward, it is bound to be full of thorns and bumps.
He wanted to persist, but he would not force Huanhuan. If one day Huanhuan couldn't bear it anymore and said she wanted to break up, Luo Jingyu would definitely let her go.
Therefore, he must never do anything that might hurt Huanhuan or affect her future happiness. This was the decision he made in his heart after agreeing to be with Huanhuan.
Luo Jingyu nodded to Luo Xiaomei and signed: I know, I can't.

On the second day of the Qingming Festival, Zhan Xi followed his parents and brother to the cemetery to pay respects to the deceased. In the afternoon, he said goodbye to his parents and took Zhan Jie's car back to Qiantang.
After successfully staying at home for a night, she felt relieved, thinking that she could get away from her mother again and live a free and easy life with Xiaoyu in Qingque Jiayuan.
In their circle of life, there is no need to hide this relationship. Neighbors, college roommates, and even the big sister selling vegetables in the market know that they are a couple. So do Teacher Zhou, Fang Xu, Yue Qi, Ji Hongzhe... Even Dong Cheng, Mrs. Wu, and Yuan Sichen know about it. Add Xiaoyu's family members, wow, there are really a lot of people who know about it!
It was already dark when Zhan Xi got home. She went to the eighth floor to change out of the outer clothes she had worn at the cemetery, and took out a set of clean home clothes from the closet. She held them in her hands and smelled them. Hmm... What a nice smell! It was a light citrus scent.
The scent comes from the clothes hanger diffuser in the closet, which is a French fragrance brand that Xiaoyu bought for her.
After they got together, Zhan Xi finally knew what the cool and bitter woody scent on Luo Jingyu was. He had been using a cypress-scented fragrance that he hung in his closet, and all his clothes would have that scent. Zhan Xi liked it very much, so Luo Jingyu bought her one, too, and chose a citrus scent.
After changing into her home clothes, Zhan Xi couldn't wait to go to the 15th floor to find Luo Jingyu. After opening the door and entering the house, she smelled the aroma of fried food. She remembered the dish she ordered - salt and pepper spareribs, which was already hot on the table.
When Luo Jingyu brought out the egg custard, she saw Zhan Xi changing his shoes, and a smile immediately spread across her face. Zhan Xi wanted to hug him, but he dodged for a moment and pointed at his apron, probably because it was too greasy, so the two of them just lightly touched their lips. Luo Jingyu pointed to the kitchen and signed: Wash your hands, it's time to eat.
Zhan Xi answered him in sign language, with a rich expression on his face: I'm so hungry! I only had a little at noon.
Luo Jingyu smiled: Eat more at night.
Zhan Xi: I ate two bowls of rice and the meat was very delicious.
Luo Jingyu: Go wash your hands quickly, the meat is getting cold.
Zhan Xi made an OK sign and skipped into the guest bathroom.
Luo Jingyu looked at her from behind, thinking that Huanhuan's sign language skills had improved so quickly that they could already have a simple conversation. If a stranger saw the scene just now, they might think it was two hearing-impaired people communicating.
Zhan Xi occasionally talks while signing so that Luo Jingyu can understand better and also to recall the sign language vocabulary. She sometimes makes the wrong sign, and Luo Jingyu can guess what she understands, so she corrects her.
Zhanxi has mastered more and more sign language vocabulary related to daily life. When the two of them are together, whether they are out for a walk or staying at home, they have tacitly developed a small habit. When Zhanxi points to something, Luo Jingyu will show it to her in sign language, and she will follow her several times, and then she will remember it in her heart, and can type it accurately next time she encounters it.
What Luo Jingyu didn't know was that Zhan Xi had already taken four sign language classes at Zhou Lian's house, and usually practiced sign language in front of the mirror for an hour every day. Zhou Lian told Zhan Xi that at her current practice frequency, she would be able to communicate with Xiao Yu more smoothly in three or four months.
Zhan Xi was full of anticipation for such a scene, so he practiced even harder.

In April and May, the Human Resources Department was very busy. In April, we had team building, in May, we had training, and in between, there was also the very important recruitment for the graduation season. As a flexible and mobile person who could fill in wherever there was a shortage of people, Zhan Xi was very busy in the company every day.
Transfer and promotion are carried out at the same time. The list of people to be promoted is drawn up by the managers of each department and then submitted to the HR. For transfer, the person himself submits an application to the department manager. The deadline is the end of April.
The company had sales staff from the business department transferred to the marketing department, administrative clerks who studied on their own and passed the judicial examination and then transferred to the legal department, and there were even factory workers who were promoted to the business department because of their quick minds and sociable skills, and have now become one of the backbone of the business.
Compared with external recruitment, internal transfer personnel are more competitive because they have a better understanding of the company's business, and their salary requirements will be lower than those of external recruitment personnel. Zhan Xi has made sufficient preparations and is just waiting to submit an application to Wenqin after the team building is completed.
She thought that Wenqin would understand her. A senior HR would not be so petty.
The team building was on the weekend, and we went to a scenic spot in the neighboring city for two days and one night.
Luo Jingyu stuffed a lot of snacks into Zhanxi's backpack, and Zhanxi laughed to death, saying that he was like a father preparing food and drinks for his daughter on a spring outing. Luo Jingyu smiled and shook his head, and stuffed an umbrella, several packs of tissues and wet wipes into her bag. Finally, he took her in his arms and let her sit on his lap, and said in sign language: Be safe.
Zhan Xi nodded and also signed: I don’t like climbing mountains, they are very high.
Luo Jingyu laughed: Are you afraid of heights
Zhan Xi immediately frowned, nodded and said, "Have you forgotten the bungee jumping machine at the Children's Palace last time? I didn't dare to ride it, it was too scary."
Luo Jingyu hugged her and took out her cell phone to type: I go on a trip once a year, usually by hiking, plane, or train, alone, in late June or early July.
Zhan Xi was surprised: "You travel alone once a year?"
Wow, Xiaoyu is not only an exquisite boy in life, but also very romantic. What a wonderful life it is to live alone!
Unlike Zhan Jie, Zhan Xi came to Qiantang to study and work for five years. In the second year, Zhan Jie took his wife and children to the north for a trip. When he came back, he said that traveling was boring, expensive and tiring, and he would never go again.
Luo Jingyu nodded and typed a little embarrassedly: Do you want to go out and play with me
Zhan Xi was very happy and signed: I want to go with you. After thinking about it again, she said, "It's all mountain climbing? Do you like mountain climbing?"
Luo Jingyu frowned slightly and typed: Climbing mountains is fun and seeing the scenery, but it’s not fun to go anywhere else alone. It’s stupid to go to the beach alone.
Zhan Xi laughed, put his arm around his neck and said, "Okay, we can go out and play together, hiking, going to the beach, visiting cultural sites, food, city sightseeing... anything is fine! I haven't been to many places, and long-distance tours are always with tour groups, which is boring. I haven't traveled on my own yet."
Luo Jingyu raised his eyebrows, pointed at himself proudly, and made an "ok" gesture, meaning that he was traveling freely.
Zhan Xi kissed him on the mouth and said, "It's settled then. We'll go out and play together, and you'll make all the arrangements."
Luo Jingyu smiled and nodded, thought for a moment, and typed again: 2 rooms, don't worry.
Zhan Xi: “???”
Luo Jingyu blushed and made a simple sign language: We can’t sleep together.
Zhan Xi: “…”
Ouch! She punched him: "Who said we should sleep together?"
