Pavlov's dog

Fang Wei was incredulous holding the hung up phone. Maybe Zhou Ruiyun's mother was too emotional, so she spoke a little dialect. He didn't understand, but he accepted the anger and hatred in the tone.But they got along very well in the past. Fang Wei remembered that every time he went to the night market, Zhou's mother would chat with him gently. Because her son didn't like to talk, she asked Fang Wei about Zhou Ruiyun's grades and life in school.

After seeing each other for several years and having no contact with each other, why Zhou's mother has such a big resentment towards him now is completely unreasonable.Fang Wei couldn't figure it out, and suddenly something flashed——

He hurriedly dialed the phone again, this time it was Zhou Ruiyun who answered it himself, and his tone was not good: "What are you doing?"

"Just now...was it your mother?" Fang Wei hesitated, "Is she still there?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Zhou Ruiyun said, "What do you want from me?"

It was very quiet on his side, and no woman's voice could be heard. Fang Wei guessed that Zhou's mother was gone, so he asked, "Does she remember me? Why did she suddenly rush at me..." He couldn't find the right words.

"What do you want from me?" Zhou Ruiyun ignored his question.

"Did you tell your family about us?" Fang Wei still lingered on this question, and had a bold thought, "She knows I'm with you?"

"I'm with you?" Zhou Ruiyun asked back.

Fang Weiyi was dumb and spoke with difficulty, only to remember that he wanted to find Zhou Ruiyun in the first place to prove something.

"Did you meet my sister, did you tell her that we had ended our relationship? Obviously not, we didn't..."

"Isn't it over?" Zhou Ruiyun interrupted him, "Didn't I disappoint you?"

"But I didn't think about breaking up, never did."

"Then what do you want?" Zhou Ruiyun's voice was rarely mixed with a trace of fatigue, "Your family members disagreed and found me. I don't want to be disturbed because of this kind of thing, do you understand?"

Fang Wei clenched the phone tightly and bit her lower lip: "I will..."

"Xiao Wei, it's so cold outside," Mother Fang came out to look for him, and stood a few steps away urging, "Come in."

"Wait a while, I'll go in right away." Fang Wei said, and then said to the phone, "I will tell my family..."

"Hang up, you are busy with your work." Zhou Ruiyun didn't have the patience to listen to him, and immediately hung up the phone.

The beep sounded in my ears, Fang Wei was still in a trance, and Fang's mother said again: "What's the matter? Now I don't even want to enter the house."

Fang Wei's eyes fluttered, and he replied, "No."

It was her parents' wedding anniversary, and Fang Wei didn't want to be upset at first, even though their emotions were undercurrent during the meal.

It was Fang's father who spoke first. Fang Wei filled a bowl of soup for his parents. Fang's father reached out to pick it up and said, "Move back to live in the future. Your mother has been nagging in my ears these days, saying that you have no one to take care of you. I lost a lot of weight."

Fang Wei couldn't pass the bowl of soup anymore, turned around, put it on the table, took a bite of the rice, and said, "I live well by myself, and it's closer to the company."

Father Fang's right hand stopped there empty-handed, and his face suddenly changed: "How much is your monthly salary, can you afford the rent for two houses?"

Fang Wei stopped eating suddenly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this today." Fang Man smoothed things over and brought the bowl of soup in front of her father, "Xiao Wei, try that shrimp, today Mom asked Aunt Sang to make it for you..."

Fang Wei dodges the shrimp that Fang Man picked up for him: "I'll do it myself."

The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly condensed, and everyone was silent.

Fang Man has always been the best at single-handed shooting, immediately put down her chopsticks, and said, "Why, you don't even want everyone to have a good meal?"

"I didn't mention it first." Fang Wei said.

"Then what do you want?" Fang's father snorted coldly, "With a man, you still want everyone to be happy for you, don't you?"

"I'm in a normal relationship, why not be happy for me?" Fang Wei asked back.

Fang Mu, who had been silent all this time, spoke up: "You are not sensible now, and you want a fresh mother to understand, but it's fine for you to play, you still have to..."

"I'm serious." Fang Wei was extremely firm.

Mother Fang's words got stuck in her throat.Fang Man pushed the dishes. She has been in the top position for a long time, and her posture is extremely standard: "What are you serious about? Your little boyfriend told me that he wanted to break up with you."

"Who told you to go find him?" Fang Wei was also furious when he mentioned this, "I will take care of it myself, why are you bothering him?"

"I'm checking in on you, so it's meddling?"

"Okay." Fang's mother said, "I asked Xiaoman to meet the boy. I heard that he is a very ordinary person. You rent the house with money, and you pay for the daily life. Xiaowei, You have to think about it, does he have other plans when he is with you?"

Fang's mother spoke in a calm and gentle manner, but it made Fang Wei stand up from the chair: "I know who he is."

"What do you know?" Father Fang slapped the table, "I don't think your mind is clear now!"

Fang Wei's Adam's apple rolled, ready to refute.Mother Fang took his hand and persuaded softly: "Be good, baby, we are all for your own good."

"It's not for my own good." Fang Wei's tone was blunt.

Fang Man snorted softly at the side: "Only your boyfriend is doing it for your own good, right? You have to pay the rent, the living expenses, and you have to buy him so many expensive clothes and accessories, you know what he's thinking ? What are you trying to do?"

Fang Wei's eyes flicked over: "I did it voluntarily, not at his request. I'm in love with him just like ordinary people. Is there anything wrong?"

Before Fang Man could answer, Fang's father spoke first: "Just like ordinary people falling in love? Then what can he give you?"

"I don't need anything from him, I have everything myself."

Fang's father laughed, but his words hurt people: "Everything you have is from me."

Fang Wei looked directly at his father: "So?"

"So I don't agree, I broke up with him immediately and moved back." Father Fang stood up and was about to go upstairs, "This is not discussing with you."

"Why?" Fang Wei pushed the table, and the plate fell to the floor with a loud noise. At the same time, he asked loudly, "Why do you make decisions for me?"

It has been like this since childhood.Because he is obedient and obedient, what clothes to wear, what musical instrument to learn, what school to go to, which major to choose... They all make decisions for themselves.Fang Wei has never made a choice arbitrarily. Now that he has finally grown up and has his own wings, he still has to be "manipulated and controlled"!

"You can make your own decision." Fang's father turned his head, and his always well-behaved little son yelled at him for the first time, which aroused his heart, "As long as your surname is not Fang, you can talk to anyone casually." in love!"

Fang Weiwei was startled, and it took a few seconds to understand what he meant.The whole family fell silent for a moment.Immediately afterwards, they saw Fang Wei move his hands, and slowly took out the door card and a bunch of keys from his pocket, and put them on the table.

Everyone was staring at him. Fang Wei's body was trembling, but his hands were steady. He glanced at everyone in the house one by one, and calmly said, "Then I'll give it all back to you."

Father Fang pointed at him angrily and cursed: "Get lost!"

The exquisite dishes on the table have long since become leftovers, and everyone has not eaten a few mouthfuls, and they are not in the mood to eat any more at this time.Mother Fang complained: "What are you doing, making such a big fuss with the child."

Father Fang pinched the base of his nose tiredly: "That kid has been spoiled since he was a child, and now he dares to challenge me."

Fang's mother was not happy, and said: "You used to say that he is the most obedient."

Fang's father waved his hand, but he was still angry: "He hasn't had a hard time, so it may not be a bad thing to make him make trouble this time. Xiao Man, freeze his card for me tomorrow, I see he can last for a few days."

"He left them all behind." Fang Man raised her chin, and motioned them to look at the table, where there were car keys, bank cards, and home access control cards.

Father Fang laughed angrily, waved his hands and went upstairs to the bedroom.

Mother Fang leaned on the sofa, rubbed her temples, and sighed: "I'm afraid he will suffer, and I feel sorry for him, so everything has been arranged properly. I didn't expect him to be unhappy."

"You and Dad have been busy in the company for a long time these days, so don't worry about it, he is an adult, and he knows it." Fang Man comforted her, and joked, "Xiao Wei's current situation is a rebellious period. It’s a bit late, but it’ll be fine after a while.”

Mother Fang was amused, and patted her hand: "Okay, then you should keep an eye on him in the future, and don't let him get into trouble."

"I know."

When Fang Wei came out, he threw all his belongings at home, including the keys to the two houses he rented. Now he has nothing but a mobile phone.

The vast villa area is rarely crowded at night, Fang Wei found a clean stone and sat down.The night wind blew sobered him up so much that even he himself couldn't figure out where he had the courage to say those words and "run away from home" resolutely.But he doesn't regret it, because he has had enough of being dictated to in life, if there is no Zhou Ruiyun, this day will come sooner or later.

But now there is Zhou Ruiyun.He looked down at his phone, moving the cursor around with his fingers.After repeating an action countless times, he dialed the phone.But no one answered.

Expected.

Fang Wei stared at the phone in rapt attention, his pupils gradually dilated, and he repeated the mechanical dialing action again and again, listening to the monotonous beep-beep-beep.The body was frozen cold, and the fingers were numb.

Fang Wei didn't respond to the notification that the phone's battery was low. He just continued to dial someone's phone

"Hello." It was answered unexpectedly.

Fang Wei almost dropped his phone to the ground, but when he saw that he was silent, he repeated, "Hello."

"Zhou..." He just opened his mouth to say a word, and then closed his mouth.

The voice was hoarse and full of flaws.Zhou Ruiyun was keenly aware of it, and asked hesitantly, "What's wrong?"

Fang Wei didn't answer, but adjusted his mood and asked, "Where are you?" However, the tone could still be heard wrong.

"I was called to work overtime temporarily." Zhou Ruiyun said after a moment of silence.

Fang Wei stood up suddenly: "Then I'll go find you."

"what?"

"I'm going to find you now."

"No, I told you, we..."

Fang Wei glanced at only 1% of the battery left: "The phone is going to run out of battery, so if you have anything to say, tell me in person, even if it's a breakup, you have to say it in person."

"What are you doing?" Zhou Ruiyun frowned, but Fang Wei hung up the phone.He called again, and the phone was turned off.

It was already an hour and a half after Fang Wei arrived at the Industrial and Commercial Bureau building.Before entering the building, he had to swipe the access control card. He didn't have one, so he couldn't get in, and his phone was dead, so he had to wait downstairs.Although he didn't know if he could wait.

Maybe Zhou Ruiyun said it casually, maybe he wasn't working overtime, or maybe he heard that he was coming and left immediately.Fang Wei didn't have the energy to think anymore, he leaned against the wall and waited quietly.

Zhou Ruiyun was smoking in the corner of the leeward, the flames reflected in his eyes, and those eyes were staring at the shivering figure at the door.

After a long time, he heard Fang Wei being coughed a few times, as if he was not feeling well, he curled up and squatted down.Zhou Ruiyun smoked half a pack of cigarettes coldly.After a few minutes, he coughed softly.

Fang Wei didn't respond at first, until he heard the voice, then turned his head slowly and saw him.

The two just looked at each other silently, and the wind whizzed past in front of them, stirring up a few fallen leaves.The sprinkler at night passed by with a monotonous melody, and the water vapor rushed to the face.

Fang Wei stood up, all the moisture on his face gathered in his eyes for a while.Zhou Ruiyun looked at him quietly without saying a word.Fang Wei ran towards him suddenly, then hugged his waist tightly, and buried his face in the other's chest.

Fang Wei hugged her tightly, like a little animal seeking warmth and help.Zhou Ruiyun was about to push him away, but Fang Wei seemed to have sensed it, and increased his strength, refusing to let go, and whispered softly with a strong nasal voice: "Don't push me away, I only have you now."
