Luo Jingyu went into the kitchen, and Zhan Jie followed Zhan Xi to tour the house.
This large house with three bedrooms, one living room and two bathrooms has excellent lighting, a good layout and a good room ratio. It is both Luo Jingyu's home and his studio. Zhan Jie stood beside the most eye-catching workbench with his hands behind his back, picked up a few tools and looked at them, but he didn't recognize any of them.
He had a preliminary judgement of Luo Jingyu in his mind. He thought that this was a man who cared a lot about the fun of life. The furniture was very uniquely chosen, with various colors and materials, which looked very good together. The decorative paintings hanging on the walls were artistic, and it was obvious that they were not bought casually. The balcony was full of flowers and plants, lush and green, and obviously well-tended by the owner.
He also has a cat. Opposite the sofa are all cat things, arranged very neatly. The little white cat has been following them all the time. It is small and looks quite well behaved.
Luo Jingyu's bedroom looked like a single man's territory. It was as clean and tidy as the living room, and there was a faint fragrance wafting through the room.
There were two seven-inch photo frames on the bedside table, one horizontal and one vertical. One was a photo of Luo Jingyu and Zhan Xi, and the other was a photo of Zhan Xi alone, with flowers and trees behind him, and a very sweet smile. Zhan Xi told Zhan Jie that this was a photo taken by Xiao Yu with a SLR.
The bedding was dark blue and laid out neatly, with a whale pillow over one meter long placed next to the pillow.
Zhan Jie thought of the whale floor lamp next to the sofa, and wondered if this guy really likes whales? He sleeps like a kid hugging a pillow.
At this time, Zhan Xi pointed to the big bed and said, "Xiao Yu makes the bed every day and never leaves the quilt lying randomly after getting up."
Zhan Jie glared at her: "Who are you alluding to?"
Zhan Xi remained calm: "I am referring to myself. Sometimes I don't even care about the quilt when I get up."
Zhan Jie: “…”
He went into the master bathroom again and saw a row of skin care products on the washstand. He picked up a bottle and looked at it. It was all in English. Zhan Jie touched his chin uneasily.
Are men in their twenties so good at taking care of themselves now
The master bathroom smelled of lemon, the toilet was shiny white, and the towels and bath towels were hung as neatly as in a hotel room. Zhan Jie asked Zhan Xi, "Did he clean this himself?"
"Of course." Zhan Xi replied, "I have never used his toilet. I always use the one outside. Xiaoyu is very clean and likes the room to smell good. He also smells good!"
Zhan Jie was very alert: "How do you know?"
"I..." Zhan Xi blushed, "You can smell it if you get close. If you don't believe me, go and smell it later."
"What's wrong?" Zhan Jie rolled his eyes, "I'm not a dog!"
After looking at the guest bedroom and the warehouse, the two returned to the living room. Zhan Jie asked Zhan Xi not to follow him and said he was going to the kitchen to talk to Luo Jingyu.
Zhan Xi asked: "Don't you want me to translate?"
Zhan Jie was annoyed: "How can you ask me if you follow me? How can I know if you have tampered with his words?"
"Okay, he can type it for you on his phone." Zhan Xi was not worried. "When he and I first met, he read my lips and typed it for me on his phone. It's just that he types a little slowly, so don't rush him."
Zhan Jie walked into the kitchen with his hands behind his back. Luo Jingyu didn't notice him at first, as she was concentrating on cutting cauliflower. Zhan Jie tilted his head and observed for a while, and found that he was cutting very skillfully, as if he was used to cooking.
When Luo Jingyu turned around to heat the oil pan, she saw Zhan Jie, and she paused. A smile immediately appeared on her lips, and she looked a little nervous. Zhan Jie said, "Don't worry about me. I'll just come in and take a look."
Luo Jingyu nodded and poured the oil into the wok to heat it up.
Zhan Jie walked around the kitchen and his eyes fell on Luo Jingyu again.
The man was wearing an apron and was lifting the lid of a soup pot on another stove to look inside. A rich aroma of meat wafted out, making Zhan Jie's stomach growl a few times. He touched his belly and thought it was a good thing that the man couldn't hear him.
Zhan Jie has been working in society for more than ten years, and most of his colleagues in the unit are male. After careful observation, he found that the man in front of him has a very clean temperament, clear eyes, and a shy smile. He is definitely not the kind of person who is good at dealing with people and can get along with everyone.
He is not gloomy or introverted, and gives people a soft, good-tempered and friendly feeling.
In short, he is different from all the boys in their twenties that Zhan Jie knows.
When the oil was hot, Luo Jingyu poured the cauliflower into the pan and started stir-frying.
Zhan Jie watched for a while, Luo Jingyu put salt and chopped green onions, picked up a small plate of red dried chili peppers and showed them to Zhan Jie, then pointed at the oil pan and stared at him with blinking eyes. Zhan Jie thought he was asking him if he could eat spicy food, so he nodded with a straight face, and Luo Jingyu smiled and poured all the chili peppers into the pan.
While frying, he pointed his left finger into the pot, then at himself, then at outside the kitchen. Finally, he opened his mouth slightly, made an eating gesture, and the smile on his face deepened.
Zhan Jie found that he could actually understand what he meant. Luo Jingyu should be saying: Zhan Xi and I can both eat spicy food.
He replied: "People in our area all like spicy food."
Luo Jingyu had an expression of "I see" on her face and gave him a thumbs up.
After a dish of fried peppers and cauliflower was ready, only the winter melon and pork ribs soup was still cooking on the stove. Luo Jingyu stopped and turned to face Zhan Jie.
The two were not far from each other, and Zhan Jie really wanted to smell whether Luo Jingyu smelled good. As a result, he took a deep breath and smelled the aroma of meat in the soup pot, which almost choked him.
He adjusted his breathing, stood up straight with his arms folded, and asked coldly: "How much can you hear when I talk like this?"
Luo Jingyu was stunned, then shook her head.
Zhan Jie raised his voice and pointed at the roaring range hood: "Can you hear a bit of this sound?"
Luo Jingyu glanced at the range hood and shook her head. She pinched her right index finger and thumb together and showed it to Zhanjie. Everyone could understand that it meant "a little bit". He pointed to his right ear and shook his hand.
"Can't hear anything at all?" Zhan Jie frowned, feeling incredible. "Then can you wear a hearing aid? And that... cochlear implant?"
Luo Jingyu shook her head again, looking somewhat helpless.
Zhan Jie became more and more frustrated as he asked: "Then do you find it difficult to understand what I'm saying?"
Luo Jingyu actually wanted to nod and answer "it's difficult", but then she thought that she couldn't say that, so she quickly and firmly shook her head and patted her chest.
Unexpectedly, Zhan Jie didn't finish yet and asked again: "You can't say a word?"
“…” Luo Jingyu hadn’t been questioned like this for a long time, so she could only nod.
He didn't even learn how to say "Huanhuan", he is a complete deaf-mute.
Seeing Luo Jingyu's confused expression, Zhan Jie sighed and leaned back against the refrigerator. He had never dealt with deaf-mute people before, so he couldn't imagine what the silent world was like.
He was confused and asked, "How did you have the guts to chase after my sister when you can't hear or speak?"
This question can't be answered by shaking your head or nodding. Luo Jingyu felt a little wronged. At first, he just wanted to be nice to Huanhuan secretly, and didn't even dare to think about pursuing her. In the end, Huanhuan caught him at the door of his house, and she even hit him with her purse. Does this count as him pursuing her? It's a bit unfair...
Luo Jingyu thought of Gao Yuan's suggestion, gritted her teeth, took out her cell phone and typed: I will definitely be good to Huanhuan, work hard to make a lot of money, I have a job, I have a house.
He showed his phone to Zhan Jie, who snorted disdainfully and asked, "Your family bought this house for you, right? How can you buy such a big house at your age without help from your family? Also, how much can you earn in a month with your job?"
Luo Jingyu felt that these two issues must be clarified, and hurriedly typed: I bought a house, alone! No more help from my family! I earn 350,000 yuan a year!
After looking at the screen, Zhan Jie fell silent.
Luo Jingyu was afraid that he wouldn't believe her, so she thought about how to prove it. She wanted to open her mobile banking app to show Zhan Jie her deposit balance, but Zhan Jie stopped her, "Don't be busy, don't be busy. You... continue cooking. I'm going to go out first."
He returned to the living room feeling depressed. Zhan Xi was playing with the cat on the sofa. When he saw him coming out, he called him, "Brother, come and sit here."
Zhan Jie sat next to her and watched Zhan Xi playing with the little white cat with a cat toy. The kitten pounced here and there and finally slipped onto his legs. It stared at him with its two big eyes for a while and then ran back to Zhan Xi.
"This cat is called Liwu. Xiaoyu and I picked it up and raised it together. It's not even one year old yet. It's been vaccinated, dewormed and sterilized. It's very clean. Isn't it cute?" Zhan Xi picked up Liwu and waved to Zhan Jie by its two front paws.
Zhan Jie: “…”
The kitten was not very happy. After being released, it jumped off the sofa and ran to the cat climbing frame.
Zhan Xi pointed at the drinks and snacks on the coffee table and said, "Have something to eat. These were all bought by Xiaoyu. He doesn't know what you like to eat, so he only buys what I like. Here, that small package of dried tofu is good."
Zhan Jie was really a little hungry, so he opened a bag of dried tofu and ate it, and also opened a bottle of ice juice and took a few sips.
It's a good sign that my brother is willing to eat! Zhan Xi pursed his lips and smiled secretly, and also opened a plum and put it into his mouth.
Zhan Jie pointed his chin in the direction of the kitchen and began to ask questions: "How old is he? Where is he from?"
Zhan Xi replied: "Twenty-seven, a native of Qiantang."
"How many people are there in your family?"
"Mom, Dad, and a sister who is already married."
"What is your education?"
"…" This question was also one of Luo Jingyu's weaknesses. Zhan Xi answered in a low voice, "High school."
"What?!" Zhan Jie was dissatisfied, "Only high school?! Can you two have a common language? Isn't there a gap in your thinking?"
Zhan Xi explained: "He is deaf. It is difficult for deaf people to enter university. There are very few majors, and only a few deaf students can go to university every year. Xiaoyu decided to study perm design after graduation in high school. Sister-in-law... Sister Fei is also a technical secondary school student. Did you mind at the time?"
Zhan Jie held back and asked again: "Is he paying for the house in full or with a mortgage?"
“Mortgage.”
"How long is the mortgage? How much is the monthly mortgage payment?"
Zhan Xi recalled: "I don't know how long the mortgage will last, but I think I'll pay more than 8,000 yuan a month."
"More than 8,000?!" Zhan Jie's suppressed anger rose again, "Then his annual mortgage payment is over 100,000. Even if he earns over 300,000, there won't be much left, right?"
"Huh? You know he can earn more than 300,000 yuan a year?" Zhan Xi chuckled, "Brother, if you think about it this way, he makes a living by his craft. In this kind of handicraft industry, the older you are and the more experience you have, the higher your income will be, and you won't have to worry about unemployment. Xiaoyu may become a master in the future!"
"Can you become a master with such fake flowers?" Zhan Jie didn't believe it.
Zhan Xi raised his chin proudly: "Why not? Xiaoyu is really amazing. I think he will get better and better in the future. His current income is more than twice as much as yours!"
Zhan Jie decided to stop talking about this sad topic and continued to ask: "How did you two know each other?"
"We met at work, and later we discovered what a coincidence that we lived on the floors above and below each other." Zhan Xi briefly recounted how he and Xiaoyu met.
Zhan Jie smacked his lips for a moment and asked, "You said you two broke up. When did it happen? Was it during the Chinese New Year?"
"Yeah." Zhan Xi admitted that she was in a really bad mood during the Chinese New Year and had a quarrel with her mother at home. She said, "I broke up with him not because I minded his hearing loss, but because I felt that my family would not agree and I was afraid that my mother would hurt him. Brother, it's not his fault that he can't hear, it's not his choice, he was born with bad hearing, and this can't be a reason for everyone to attack him. I never minded his hearing loss, and after I met him... I think I liked him from the beginning."
"Wait!" Zhan Jie caught the key point in Zhan Xi's words, "You said he was born deaf? What do you mean?"
Zhan Xi didn't want to hide it from his brother, so he told the truth: "Xiaoyu's condition is hereditary, his parents are both deaf."
Zhan Jie suppressed his temper: "Where is his sister?"
Zhan Xi replied: “Yes.”
Zhan Jie almost fainted and wanted to overturn the coffee table. His brows were furrowed into a deep frown: "Zhan Xi! You are really crazy! Will this genetic inheritance be passed down? Will his child also be deaf? Even so, you dare to talk to him about this? Do you not want children anymore, or do you want to give birth to a deaf child?!"
Zhan Xi was not shocked, and replied calmly: "First, we are not yet at the stage of getting married and having children. Second, there is a chance of inheritance, but it is not certain. Today's medical technology is very advanced and will be of some help to their family's situation."
"Are you just playing house like a kid? You still need luck to do this?" Zhan Jie was about to vomit blood. "Alright, alright, stop talking. I will definitely not agree to this! He is just like that, just..."
He pointed to the kitchen and found that Luo Jingyu had just come out with a pot of soup. She was looking at them from a distance with a calm expression. She even smiled when Zhan Jie pointed at her.
Zhan Jie put his hand down awkwardly, turned his back to Luo Jingyu, and said to Zhan Xi: "Tell me yourself, what is there about him that is worth you to wrong yourself like this? Think about what you will face if you are with him? Even if he makes a decent amount of money and has a wedding house, you can't stand other people gossiping about him! Not to mention our mother, she will probably kill you two, and those relatives, neighbors, friends, your classmates, aren't you afraid that they will laugh at you?"
Zhan Xi shook his head: "Don't be afraid, some of my friends and classmates already know him, and they all think he's a very good person. Brother, I'm not wronging myself at all. No one is perfect. You only see Xiaoyu's shortcomings and not his strengths, just like our mother only sees Qin Fei's shortcomings and not her strengths. This is a very one-sided view of people."
Zhan Jie fell silent for a moment.
Zhan Xi leaned comfortably on the sofa back, hugging a pillow: "Brother, do you think you are better than Xiaoyu? You have a higher education than him, and you can hear? It's really strange, when did hearing become an advantage? Is it a sense of superiority? Do you think he is inferior? I'm telling you the truth, don't be angry, in my eyes, Xiaoyu is not inferior to you in any way."
"Really?" Zhan Jie sneered: "I want to hear it. Do you think your brother is useless?"
Zhan Xi looked into his brother's eyes and counted on his fingers: "First, Xiaoyu's financial situation is better than yours, you can't deny it, right? Second, he has lived alone for many years, cooks for himself, cleans by himself, and his house is always clean. He is the least sloppy boy I have ever seen. Third, he doesn't smoke, hardly drinks, doesn't play games or cards, doesn't flirt with girls, likes painting, photography, and travels alone once a year. What about you? You don't even want to take Weiwei to a Children's Palace, I really can't understand this. Fourth, Xiaoyu's temper Very, very good, gentle and considerate to me, we have never quarreled. He has a low self-esteem because he can't hear, but he has no negative energy, he is very perseverant and persistent, and he has been working towards his goals. Brother, his work intensity is no less than yours, sometimes he has to stay up all night, but he can still manage his life in an orderly manner, raising cats and flowers, chatting and dating with me, and he has never been impatient. What about you? After working overtime, you feel like an emperor when you go home, and you wish Sister Fei would feed you food. Have you ever thought that Sister Fei is also very hard after a day of work? "
Zhan Jie found it difficult to refute and his face turned blue.
Zhan Xi continued, "Although Xiaoyu's family is full of deaf people and I have never been there, I have heard him say that they have a very good relationship and are very warm and harmonious. They always discuss things together. It is because he grew up in such a family that he grew up to be a responsible man who knows how to respect others and think about others. This is something our family cannot compare to! I admit that there are many excellent boys out there who are more capable and educated than him and can hear, but do you know what the thing I like most about him is?"
Zhan Jie had been listening and asked, "What is it?"
Zhan Xi said: "He gives me the greatest respect and trust, and never asks me to do this or that. I have never experienced this feeling since I was a child. I feel so comfortable, relaxed and happy with him! I can laugh just by seeing him. Being his girlfriend is super happy, can you understand? I don't want to go home, I don't want to see my mother, I am annoyed with her and afraid of her, I feel very depressed at home, I want to escape, only with Xiaoyu can I feel at ease. Isn't this reason enough? Why do you have to pull his ears and not let go of this matter?"
Zhan Jie thought for a long time, frowned and said, "But mom won't agree."
Zhan Xi smiled: "What if she doesn't agree? Isn't it just a matter of face? Everyone says Xiaoyu is good, so I'm done just because she doesn't agree? I've figured it out now. I'm not living for my mother in this life. If this man is not good, I will definitely not look for him, but he is so good, why should I care about my mother's face? Isn't it more important for me to be happy?"
Zhan Jie didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at Zhan Xi. He suddenly felt that in just a few months, his little sister seemed to have grown up. She was no longer the timid and obedient little girl in his impression.
Seeing that they were chatting, Luo Jingyu didn't dare to come over to disturb them. Until she saw Zhan Xi stand up, she walked over and said in sign language: It's time to eat.
Zhan Xi smiled at him, turned around and called Zhan Jie: "Brother, let's eat and try Xiao Yu's cooking skills."
Luo Jingyu didn't take off his apron, so Zhan Xi stood behind him to help him untie the rope and then took the apron off his head.
Zhan Jie sat down at the dining table and watched their interaction, the light in their eyes when they looked at each other, the simple sign language they made to each other, and even the gentle smile that appeared on Luo Jingyu's lips as she scratched Zhan Xi's nose when he picked up the dishes and chopsticks.
The dinner was very sumptuous, with four dishes and a soup. Luo Jingyu poured freshly squeezed watermelon juice for the three of them, put on disposable gloves on his left hand, and used scissors in his right hand to cut the Huadiao chicken into small pieces. Zhan Jie watched his movements and found that he had not eaten such a home-cooked meal for a long time, and was a little dazed for a while.
After the meal started, Luo Jingyu sat on one side, while Zhan Xi and Zhan Jie sat opposite him. Seeing that Zhan Jie didn't even move his chopsticks, he carefully put a chicken leg in his bowl and gave the other chicken leg to Zhan Xi.
Zhan Jie raised his eyes to look at him: "Thank you."
Luo Jingyu smiled at him, pointed at the food, opened her mouth, and gestured to him to eat more.
Zhan Jie took a bite of the chicken leg, which was cooked with Huadiao sauce and was very tasty. He also ate the dry-fried hairtail, which was very fresh and fried very fragrantly, and the cauliflower was also spicy enough.
Well, Luo Jingyu’s cooking skills are quite outstanding.
I don’t know if it’s difficult to learn to cook. Zhan Jie wants to ask him. I really don’t want to eat takeout anymore.
He looked up and saw Luo Jingyu opening the shell of a swimming crab, then opening another one. After finding that the second one was fuller, she gave both the shell and the crab body to Zhan Xi without hesitation.
Zhan Xi stretched his neck to look at his crab and said, "Yours is empty, didn't you pick one?"
Luo Jingyu smiled and signed something, and Zhan Xi translated it for his brother: "Xiaoyu said that the boss picked it for him, and he was fooled."
Zhan Jie replied: "I don't understand this either. I can probably only tell the difference between male and female, dead and alive."
Luo Jingyu understood his lip language and smiled happily like a child.
Zhan Jie looked at him with a gloomy face and asked, "What are you laughing at? Is it funny?"
Luo Jingyu didn't dare to laugh anymore. She gave the last swimming crab to Zhan Jie and took the empty plate back to the kitchen.
Zhan Jie looked at his back and muttered, "Silly."
Zhan Xi was unhappy: "Why do you say that to him? You are the fool! Xiaoyu is very smart." She knocked on the table, "He put all these furniture together by himself, can you do it?"
"You think you're smart just by installing furniture? Who can't install it based on the blueprint?" Zhan Jie retorted.
Zhan Xi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Come on, you can't even assemble a children's desk. Sister Fei and I assembled it together!"
Zhan Jie shouted, "I got off work late! When I got home you two were already pretending!"
Zhan Xi shouted even louder: "You just started it, and you don't even want to take over!"
Luo Jingyu came back and was dumbfounded to see that the brother and sister seemed to be arguing. She pulled Zhan Xi's arm as if to stop the fight.
Zhan Jie remained silent, feeling very conflicted.
His sister has always been well-behaved and obedient, with a gentle and introverted temperament. In the past, he worried that Zhan Xi would be bullied by the boy because of her naive personality when she fell in love. Now, he kind of understands why Zhan Xi likes Luo Jingyu.
Between the two of them, Luo Jingyu seems to be the more well-behaved, more obedient and simpler one. When it comes to bullying, Zhan Xi is more likely to bully him.
In fact, what my sister said is right. It is not Luo Jingyu’s choice to be deaf. Just because they can hear and speak doesn’t mean they are superior to others.
It was really boring to keep harping on this issue. Zhan Xi had already said that he didn't mind, but he still had to object on this ground. What was he trying to achieve? Luo Jingyu's ears wouldn't be healed, so wasn't this obviously forcing them to break up
Will Zhan Xi agree to break up
Zhan Jie thought that she would definitely not agree at the beginning, but as time went on, her family continued to put pressure on her, and her mother kept crying, making a scene, and even threatening to commit suicide. There would always be a day when she couldn't stand it anymore. Then she and Luo Jingyu would quarrel, and when they were tired of quarreling, they would naturally break up.
Just like him and Qin Fei.
But this is really not the result that Zhan Jie wanted. If he had been nicer to Qin Fei back then, helped Qin Fei a little more when his mother targeted her, did more housework, and taken care of his son a little more, his perfect score would not have been deducted if all of his efforts had been added up.
Zhan Jie smiled bitterly. Luo Jingyu and Zhan Xi liked each other. He was not blind and could see it clearly.
Why did he have to be the bad guy? His sister said she would protect this man, so he would wait and see whether this naive couple could withstand the bombardment of their mother and the beating of society.
His marriage has fallen apart, and he hopes his sister can live a happy life.
Zhan Jie ate a lot during this meal, including two large bowls of rice, and drank a full bowl of winter melon and pork ribs soup after the meal. Luo Jingyu didn't expect that her "brother-in-law" could eat so much, and found that she didn't cook enough rice, so she had to starve herself.
After dinner, Zhan Jie didn’t leave in a hurry. He was too full, so he smoked on the balcony to help digest the food.
Luo Jingyu never rested. This time, she would not let Zhan Xi wash the dishes no matter what. She vowed to perform hard! After he cleaned the kitchen, he brought out a plate of grapes for Zhan Jie. Standing in the living room, he smelled a smell and knew that the gift had stinked.
When Zhan Jie walked into the living room from the balcony, he saw Luo Jingyu squatting in front of the cat litter box shoveling poop, with the gift circling around his feet. Luo Jingyu shook her head and smiled bitterly at the kitten, and even used her free hand to rub its head.
Zhan Jie couldn't help but recall his son's childhood. It seemed that he had never changed Weiwei's diaper. Every time his son pooped, he would hide far away and let his mother, mother-in-law or Qin Fei take care of his son.
He is so patient with a cat, how can he be impatient with his own son
It seems like in the blink of an eye, Zhan Kaiwei has grown up. He used to cling to his son and say "Daddy, play with me", but now he only sees him once a month, but his son doesn't kiss him at all. If he thinks about it carefully, he deserves it.
These days, Qin Fei took advantage of Weiwei's summer vacation to travel in Qingdao with the little guy and his parents. Qin Fei's circle of friends has been blocked for Zhan Jie, but open to Zhan Xi, as if Zhan Xi can show Weiwei's photos to Zhan Jie.
Zhan Jie recalled the post on Qin Fei's Moments that he had just seen on Zhan Xi's phone. His ex-wife and son were playing in the waves at the beach, both smiling brightly. But he had previously found such a joyful outing too troublesome, and now he could no longer join in.
Luo Jingyu was busy from morning till night and was always very nervous, not knowing what impression his "brother-in-law" had of him.
However, when Zhan Jie left, he took the initiative to add him on WeChat and waved goodbye to him. Luo Jingyu even felt that his "brother-in-law" smiled at him.
He was so surprised! He excitedly used sign language to Huanhuan, asking her to tell her brother to come often for dinner. Even after Zhanjie entered the elevator, Luo Jingyu still stood at the door with a smile on her face and waved vigorously, and was finally dragged back into the house by Zhanxi.
At around 10 o'clock that evening, Zhan Xi received a call from his father and hid in the guest bathroom of Luo Jingyu's house.
Dad told her on the phone that Zhan Jie had told her everything and did not hide anything.
Zhan Xi held the phone to her ear, not knowing what to say. She thought, if her father disagreed, she could just tell her mother, and the storm would come earlier.
Zhan Qiang sighed on the phone: "Your brother said that the young man is a good person, has a wedding house and a career, is financially sound, has a good temper, can cook, is tall and handsome, but is deaf. So... Huanhuan, what do you think we should do?"
Zhan Xi said: "Dad, I really like him."
"I know you like him. If you didn't, you wouldn't have hidden it from your family and even quarreled with your mom." Zhan Qiang said slowly, "How about this, you two start dating first, and dad and your brother won't tell your mom yet. Remember to protect yourself. Girls, don't do that... you know. Let's take it one step at a time. You're young people, you've grown up, and there are many things we can't control. But there is one thing, Huanhuan, you have to listen to dad. Don't just find someone to date just because you want to escape from this home. Don't think that person is better than your family just because he or she is more lenient and permissive to you than your mom. These are two different things, okay?"
Listening to his father's hoarse voice, Zhan Xi's eyes became wet: "I know, I didn't just look for it casually."
Zhan Qiang continued, "Your mother is a little too controlling of you, but her starting point is indeed to want you to be good, but her method is wrong. Dad has also been trying to persuade her recently. As for you, if you really like that boy, then Dad and your brother will observe him for two years. Two years will always allow you to see a person clearly. If he is really good enough, then Dad will not object. Do you understand?"
"I understand." Zhan Xi's tears rolled down.
"Go to bed early, Daddy is going to sleep too." Zhan Qiang's voice was filled with laughter, "You haven't been home for a long time, count it yourself, it's been more than three months, right? Come back sometime, your grandma misses you too."
"Yeah, I miss grandma too." Zhan Xi wiped his eyes, "I'll come back before the end of the month, Dad, thank you."
Zhan Qiang sighed: "Hey, what are you saying thank you for? Just be fine, ah, be good, don't cry."
Zhan Xi hung up the phone and sat on the toilet lid for a long time before he got up, washed his hands and face, and left the bathroom.
Before she went in, Luo Jingyu was petting the cat on the sofa. The living room became very quiet at this moment. Zhan Xi walked to the sofa and took a look. She couldn't help laughing. Xiaoyu was already lying on the sofa and fell asleep.
After more than half a month of preparation for the exhibition and another three-day exhibition, he will meet the "parents". He slept too little last night and has been busy all day today. How can he not be tired
Zhan Xi squatted down beside Luo Jingyu, holding his chin to look at his closed eyes and long eyelashes, and smiled softly: "Xiao Yu, I have good news for you. My dad and my brother... agree that we can be together."
