I took a shower on Luo Xiangdong's side, and then quietly went back to the other side. Seeing that the room was completely dark, I tiptoed into the guest bedroom. Just walked to the bed. The phone on the pillow lit up, it was Luo Xiangdong.
I answered: "Hello."
Luo Xiangdong said: "It's been a long time since I've been lying in bed alone, and I feel empty."
I lifted up the quilt and lay down in it, holding my cell phone and saying, "Who was lying next to you when you were on a business trip?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "We can't help it when we are on a business trip. Now we obviously don't need to live apart. We are like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."
I said, "You sound very resentful. Are you blaming my mother?"
Luo Xiangdong said: "I don't dare. Who dares to offend my future mother-in-law?"
I couldn't help but curl up the corners of my lips. He smiled and said, "You know the current situation. My mother has a very weird temper. You have to coax her. Otherwise, don't tell her that she will fall out."
Luo Xiangdong said: "What does my mother-in-law like? Tell me so I can be mentally prepared."
I said, "Actually, what my mother likes is pretty simple. Houses, cars, jewelry, everything. It's all fine, I don't have to choose."
Luo Xiangdong said: "If this were ancient times, I could just hire you and marry you back."
I chuckled, and then said, "That's really selling my daughter."
Luo Xiangdong and I were dozens of meters apart. There are several walls and doors in the middle. In fact, this feeling is quite novel, a bit like a breakup is better than a wedding. It's more like falling in love with someone for the first time when you were young. You were so happy that even though you were so sleepy that you couldn't open your eyes, you still couldn't bear to put down your phone.
Luo Xiangdong and I were chatting. Suddenly, in the darkness, the door was pushed open, and my mother stood at the door with disheveled hair. The light in the master bedroom shone from behind her, and I vaguely saw her squinting her eyes and whispering to me: "It's so late, who are you calling when you're still up?"
I was really scared to death. I instinctively turned over and sat up. Without answering, I asked: "Mom, are you still asleep?"
My mother said: "If you fall asleep, get up and go to the bathroom. Who are you calling?"
I said, "To the east."
My mother said: "What time is it now? Go to bed quickly. If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow."
I responded and my mother closed the door and left. Then I took my phone and lowered my voice and said to Luo Xiangdong, "My mother asked us to sleep."
Luo Xiangdong unconsciously lowered his voice and said, "I was shocked just now, and I'm all energetic."
I laughed out loud, joked with him a bit, and said goodnight.
I turned over, facing the wall, and fell asleep quickly. The next day I was woken up by my mother's voice, asking me to get up.
I couldn't open my eyes and muffled: "What time is it?"
"It's past ten o'clock, get up quickly."
I said, "Have you slept well with my dad?"
My mother said: "We have been up for a long time. I know that you two slept late yesterday, so I wanted to let you sleep a little longer."
My parents came to visit once in eight hundred years, and I was too embarrassed to stay in bed. I lay there for a few minutes and then turned over.
After leaving the master bedroom, a familiar fragrance wafted in the living room. I sniffed and said immediately: "Frozen meatballs?"
My dad looked down from the kitchen and said with a smile: "Your grandma brought you croquettes. She said you liked them."
I rushed into the kitchen and ate seven or eight croquettes without combing my hair or washing my face. The table not far away is filled with food bags, filled with food from Liangcheng and my favorite food. I jumped up and down with joy, eager to take a bite of everything right away.
My dad said: "Take some time to clean up and ask Xiangdong to come over for dinner."
I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and wash my face, then went next door. Without exception, Luo Xiangdong was still sleeping. The master bedroom on his side was blocked by thick dark gray curtains, and no light from outside could shine in. It was like dark sky.
I quietly walked to the window and opened the curtain. The sudden bright sunlight poured on the big bed, and Luo Xiangdong couldn't help but frown. I ran over and jumped on him, rolling and crawling to tell him to get up.
Luo Xiangdong groaned under my pressure, turned over, and wrapped me in his arms with the quilt.
I almost suffocated him to death, so I could only say in a low voice: "Get up quickly, my parents have heated up the delicious food they brought from Liangcheng, and they are just waiting for you to come over and eat."
When Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrived, my mother didn't know when she appeared at the door of the room. I could only hear her voice saying, "Get up quickly, the food is ready."
Almost instantly, Luo Xiangdong and I stood up from the bed at the same time. I was wearing pajamas, while Luo Xiangdong was shirtless and his hair was a little messy. He tried his best to open his eyes and shouted: "Auntie, morning."
It's all because Luo Xiangdong's house is covered with carpets, and there is no sound at all when walking. My mother didn’t even know when she came. Fortunately, Luo Xiangdong didn’t touch me, otherwise she would really have been caught in the act.
My mother came forward and Luo Xiangdong got up obediently without losing a second. kingb and queenb came to my mother, but my mother was too scared to move. I said, "Mom, touch them. They really don't bite. Don't be afraid."
With panic in her eyes, my mother timidly stretched out her hand to touch queenb's head. Queenb immediately wagged her big tail, looking cheerful.
My mother smiled and said, "It's just that it looks scary because it's grown so big, but it's actually pretty good."
I said, "That's right. If such a big guy bites people again, the community won't be able to keep it."
With my mother's permission, kingb and queenb entered the house openly and returned to my house. The room was full of delicious food, the four of us sat at the dining table, kingb and queen squatted beside Luo Xiangdong and I's legs, and had lunch just after eleven o'clock.
After resting for more than half an hour after eating, Luo Xiangdong suggested taking my parents out for a walk. It was the weekend anyway and I was free, so the four of us went out together.
We had dinner outside, and there was nothing to do after dinner. Luo Xiangdong asked my mother where she wanted to play, and my mother asked back: "Xiangdong, do you like singing?"
Luo Xiangdong paused obviously, then smiled and said, "Auntie likes to sing, right? Then let's go sing."
I was laughing so hard that my mother had forgotten about this even if she didn't mention it to me. She really likes singing, and Luo Xiangdong... Well, I won't say anything else.
In order to please my mother, Luo Xiangdong would do anything. He immediately drove us to the Imperial Court and opened a private room.
There were just four of us in the huge luxurious private room, and the table was filled with fruit plates, snacks and various fine wines. Luo Xiangdong said: "Auntie is a music teacher, so her singing must be very nice. I am blessed with ears today."
My mother said: "It's just average, I'm just an amateur."
Then my mother sang "Waiting for You to Love Me" by Chen Ming. It had really loud high notes and deep bass, which perfectly demonstrated her superb singing skills. At the end, my mother smiled and said: "I didn't open my voice, and my singing was too ordinary."
The smile on Luo Xiangdong's face froze. I knew he was afraid that my mother would let him sing.
But this is inevitable. It’s already here, how can it be run away
After my mother finished singing a song, she immediately carried Luo Xiangdong to sing. Luo Xiangdong was very polite: "It's okay, auntie, you sing with uncle. Today I mainly listen to you. It doesn't matter whether Zijin and I sing."
I couldn't stop laughing next to Luo Xiangdong. My mother asked me why I was laughing, but I didn't say anything.
After several rejections, my mother said: "Look at you kid, why are you so shy? If you are asked to sing, just sing. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."
In desperation, Luo Xiangdong pulled my dad out and said, "Then uncle will sing a song first."
I know Luo Xiangdong's character very well. He is good at knowing himself and his enemy, and I want to find out about our family's singing skills. He knew how I sang, and he had just listened to my mother, so he placed all his hopes on my father.
He originally wanted to find someone at the bottom, but he didn't know that my dad was a fan of Adu and Yang Kun. He once claimed that he would cut his throat to imitate their deep and hoarse voices.
As a result, my dad played "He Must Love You Very Much" by Adu, which shocked Luo Xiangdong and repeatedly praised my dad's voice for being exactly the same as Adu's.
How similar are they actually? My mother said that my father sounded like a drunk duck, but my father was still very happy after hearing what Luo Xiangdong said.
All three of our family sang, and only Luo Xiangdong was left. Luo Xiangdong seemed a little restless. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to say to my mother, "Don't let him sing. He doesn't like singing."
My mother said to Luo Xiangdong: "Why don't you like singing? I like singing the most."
In order to show his loyalty, Luo Xiangdong had to say: "No, it's not that I don't like singing... I just can't sing well."
My mother came up like a teacher, clapped her hands and said, "Xiangdong, you sing. Auntie is the best at teaching those who can't sing well. If there's anything wrong with you, Auntie will fix it for you."
Having said this, Luo Xiangdong rushed to the shelves and asked me to order a male version of "At least I still have you" for him. To be honest, this was the second time I heard Luo Xiangdong sing, and I felt as nervous as he did.
As the dots on the screen decreased one by one, I saw Luo Xiangdong holding a microphone and staring at the big screen. I was afraid that he would slow down the filming, so I secretly slapped his legs from below.
As a result, Luo Xiangdong became nervous and took the picture: "I'm afraid it's too late. I want to hold you until I feel your wrinkles and the traces of time. Until I am sure that you are real, until I lose my strength. For you, I am willing."
Taking the shot step by step, Luo Xiangdong started singing the next line before the color of the first half of the sentence was completely painted.
I really broke into a cold sweat for him. I glanced at my parents from the corner of my eye. My dad had already moved his eyes to the table, picked up the wine glass and started drinking.
My mother was staring at the screen, crossing her legs and tapping her fingers slowly on her knees.
"It's hard for us, we can't help ourselves. I'm afraid that time is too fast and I can't see you carefully enough. I'm afraid that time is too slow and makes me worry about you day and night. I wish I could grow old overnight and never be separated... If, in the whole world, I You can also give up, just because I still have you, worthy of my cherishing, and you here are the miracle of life... "
Luo Xiangdong and I hold hands tightly together. I don’t know why, but every time I listen to him singing, I have the urge to cry.
