sinking in his peril

Xu Zhizhi ate his meal bit by bit, feeling a little unmotivated. He didn't go to work all afternoon. He hid in his room, lying on the bed thinking about things. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of anything. At night, no one came back. I went to some Yinxiang restaurant during lunch time. Now I don’t know whether to stay with Sima or Lu Yurong. Taozi called back and said that she and Xiyao went to the old site, and she might come back later. It's time for dinner at home, and so is Tao Zi. Since I like to do archaeology, I must drag Xi Yao along.

"Zhizhi, do you have something on your mind?" Yu Xueqin's voice sounded a little far away.

Xu Zhizhi looked up at her mother, a little dazed.

"It's really strange. Either you don't have something on your mind, or the three of you have it together. The three of you sisters all of a sudden have something on your mind." Yu Xueqin said with a smile, "Tell me about it."

"Mom, no, I'm a little tired, and I don't really want to eat. It may be because of the heat today. I rested at home all afternoon, but I lost my appetite." Xu Zhizhi concealed it, lowered her head, and tried to push the rice into her mouth.

Yu Xueqin smiled faintly, and was about to speak, when the doorbell rang, Bai Sen, who was making soup in the kitchen, came out to open the door, exchanged greetings, and brought in a person, who greeted Yu Xueqin with a hearty smile, "Auntie, I It's Mou Demeng's eldest son, Mou Jiamu, I'm sorry to come here to see you today, so I'll pick a time for dinner."

Yu Xueqin was taken aback, looking at the young man standing in front of him, he didn't look like Mou Demeng, maybe he looked like his mother, she thought in a daze, smiled, and said very politely: "Have you eaten yet? If you haven't eaten, Let's eat together."

Mu Jiamu said generously: "Auntie, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I really haven't eaten." As he said that, he put down the things in his hand, there were some fresh fruits and food, a heavy pile.

"Then eat together." Bai Sen liked the healthy image of the young man in front of him. He was very sunny and cheerful. He looked like he was practicing sports. He thought, this is probably Mou Jiamu who called Xu Zhizhi to get angry at him that day, "I I'm making soup for your aunt, it'll be ready soon, you sit first, I'll come as soon as I go."

Xu Zhizhi almost jumped up, and said loudly and impolitely: "Mou Jiamu, who let you come to our house?! What are you doing?! Did I invite you?!——"

"Zhizhi, don't be rude." Yu Xueqin glared at her daughter, "Is that Mou Jiamu? Sit down and eat together. I'm spoiled by Zhizhi. Don't bother with her. Since you're here with Auntie, you're Auntie's guest." , eat with auntie. How are your parents?"

Mu Jiamu didn't seem to see Xu Zhizhi's expression, sat down on the chair with a smile, and said happily: "My parents are in good health, but during this time my grandfather is sick and needs their care, so it's a bit hard. Is auntie better?" ? I heard from my dad that my aunt accidentally fell down, but unfortunately I happened to be outside at the time, otherwise, I should have come to see you a long time ago."

Xu Zhizhi stared at Mou Jiamu, and said to himself: This kid can really speak!

After eating, Mou Jiamu took the initiative to follow Bai Sen to help in the kitchen, and soon heard the hearty laughter of two men from inside, Yu Xueqin sat on the sofa and turned his head to look at the kitchen, with an expression on his face. With a somewhat satisfied smile, this Mou Jiamu is a pretty good young man. Although it is a pity that he does not look like Mou Demeng, he is not ugly.

Xu Zhizhi was almost confused, sitting there, almost got up from the sofa and rushed into the kitchen several times, but after taking a look at her mother, she still insisted on sitting still.

After a while, two men came out from the kitchen. The two seemed to be talking about boxing. This sport is Bai Sen's favorite, but no one can talk to him about this topic. Today, this Mu Jiamu came, and he was also a fan , and practiced well, which made him immediately fall in love with this young man inexplicably.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, Mou Jiamu had no intention of leaving, and Bai Sen even left him to play chess together. The two men talked about world affairs and politics while playing chess. The chat was speculative and lively. Xu Zhizhi felt like sitting on a fire It's normal, but I don't see anyone else coming back.

At this moment, the door was pushed open from the outside with a bang, with obvious anger, Xu Zhizhi walked in from the outside with an angry face, Lu Yurong carefully followed behind with a smiling face, as soon as he entered the door, Xu Zhizhi shook his head. Dropped the shoes on her feet and said loudly to Yu Xueqin: "Mom, where is Xi Yao?"

Yu Xueqin raised her head and glanced at Xu Zhizhi. In fact, she usually didn't mind these children calling each other's names, but now there were outsiders in the family, especially the other party was Mou Demeng's son. She didn't want Mou Demeng to know the shortcomings of these children in the family. He glared at Xu Zhizhi, and said unhappily: "Why did you come back so late? Your sister is again. If she comes back later, she should be with Tao Zi. Do you have anything to do with her?"

"When this damn girl comes back, I have to settle accounts with her. She dared to rob me of her boyfriend. Just relying on her, I'm really pissed off!" Xu Zhizhi sat down on the sofa.

Lu Yurong stood in the same place and was embarrassed to greet Yu Xueqin. Every time he appeared, he was basically like this, which made Xu Zhizhi feel ashamed. Yu Xueqin was used to it. He pointed to the sofa and said with a smile: "Sit down, There are fruits on the coffee table, if you want to eat, take it yourself, since you are not an outsider, I will not be polite to you."

"I'll do it myself." Lu Yurong sat down on the sofa, his butt just touching the sofa.

"Why are you still here?!" Xu Zhizhi seemed to have just discovered that Lu Yurong was there, glaring at him, and said unhappily, "You've been with me for a day, aren't you bothered? It's enough for me to see you now It's gone, it immediately disappeared in front of my eyes, really, I'll be troubled when I see you!"

"Zhizhi!—" Yu Xueqin said angrily, "Yu Rong, ignore her, sit down."

"No, auntie, let me go first, it's getting late, you have to rest." Then he glanced at Bai Sen who was playing chess with Mu Jiamu, raised his voice slightly, and said, "Uncle, I'm leaving, You are playing."

"Let's go when you come here—" Bai Sen was looking at the chessboard, not paying special attention to it. Lu Yurong's situation in front of Xu Zhizhi is really too normal. Bai Sen felt that Lu Yurong was quite able to persist in this.

Seeing Lu Yurong leave, Yu Xueqin glared at Xu Zhizhi, and reprimanded: "What do you want to do? Isn't it because he is so devoted to you, and you have this attitude, who do you think you are! I'm a mother, and I don't even like it Now, if you like someone, go out with them, if you don't like them, it's over, what are you?!"

"It's his own pleasure, it's none of my business." Xu Zhizhi's voice was a little lower. In front of her parents, Xu Zhizhi seemed to be quieter and more obedient than usual.

"Zhizhi, when will you grow up and understand that this world is not yours alone." Yu Xueqin sighed, and looked at the TV screen, but her heart was a little melancholy. Men will not change their minds, but, in the face of reality, when can they really be loved forever. "Lu Yurong is really not bad to you. At least tolerate your willful and savage temper. It will be difficult for you to meet such people again in the future. You should try to take a good look at yourself. It's-"

"Mom—" Xu Zhizhi sat beside Yu Xueqin coquettishly, took Yu Xueqin's arm, and said with a smile, "Mom, I know, I will pay attention to it in the future, I must, hehe, when I bring Sima back, I must be a Gentle woman."
