No.70 days

At the door of the house, Shao Wu had no choice but to let go.The two of them didn't speak during the journey, and their short breathing barely calmed down now. Before Yang Shuyi took out the key to open the door, Shao Wu hurriedly raised his hand and wiped his lips with the back of his hand.Although he knew in his heart that Longlong and her mother-in-law couldn't see anything, it was——it was a guilty conscience.

On the contrary, Yang Shuyi looked very upright. Seeing Shao Wu wipe his mouth, he grabbed the key and did not move. His eyes looked at Shao Wu silently. Come.

Shao Wu was excited at first, but after being looked at by him like this, he felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed after only ten seconds.Yang Shuyi didn't say anything, but Shao Wu seemed to have heard his subtext: don't let them see it.

That's right, what they are about to face is not innocuous strangers, but Yang Shuyi's relatives. No matter how charming they were a few minutes ago, now they have to act like "old friends"—or, to put it another way, go back to "old friends" ", in short, everything just now cannot be seen.

Shao Wu said softly, "Okay."

Yang Shuyi let out a "hmm" and opened the door.

Longlong and her mother-in-law greeted her, Shao Wu was about to bite the bullet and make up an excuse, when Yang Shuyi said calmly: "Shao Wu won't go to the meeting, I'm asking for leave."

"Ouch," the mother-in-law grabbed Shao Wu's arm with a worried expression on her face, "Can I ask for leave, Xiao Shao?"

"Yes," Shao Wu nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, it's not a particularly important meeting."

"That's good, that's good! Your school is also unreasonable. What kind of meeting is there at night? Longlong, you go scoop up the rice," the mother-in-law said and laughed, walking to the kitchen while smiling, "Cooking today I was still thinking, I haven't seen Xiao Shao for a long time, is Xiao Shao playing with friends and has no time to come to our house..."

"You already know, mother-in-law!" Longlong winked at Shao Wu, "I heard that brother Xiao Shao and our teacher Zhu...is it true, brother Shao?"

Shao Wu was taken aback, so he and Zhu Jingjing were regarded as a couple by everyone?So everyone has already seen it?No, no, they weren't really together... It's really hard to say.

Shao Wu had no choice but to reply vaguely: "I'm very busy at work, so I don't have time to think about it."

Yang Shuyi went into the kitchen without saying a word, and helped his mother-in-law bring out the prepared dishes.Spicy shrimp, potato stewed pork ribs, daylily pork slices soup, stir-fried red sweet potato tips, cold fern root powder.The portion of each dish is very large, and the table is full when placed.Longlong poured four more glasses of fruit juice, and the glass turned into a clear orange color. Just looking at the meal menu on this table made one feel joyful.

"Sit down," the mother-in-law greeted Shao Wu, "let's have dinner."

The aroma of sliced ​​meat soup poured into the nostrils, and the air conditioner at home was turned on to 26 degrees, which was very warm.A square table happened to be four people on each side, and Yang Shuyi was sitting on Shao Wu's left.Shao Wu picked up a piece of pork ribs and couldn't help but smile at him: "It's delicious."

Yang Shuyi nodded: "Then you eat more."

Shao Wu simply had the illusion that this would be their family's situation in the future... Their family, of course, was his and Yang Shuyi's.

"Xiao Shao, try the fern root powder," the mother-in-law pushed the plate towards Shao Wu, "Is the salt taste enough?"

Shao Wu picked up a chopstick, chewed for a while and said, "I think enough is enough..."

"Enough? My ignorance is a little dull," the mother-in-law looked at Yang Shuyi, her tone filled with accusation, "Xiao Zou is not coming, and you didn't tell me in advance that there is not much salt and pepper for cooking today, I'm afraid She's not used to it."

"That's right," Longlong answered, "the ribs are not spicy at all."

Xiao Zou, Shao Wu thought, yes, Zou Xin is from Beijing, so he might not be used to such a spicy taste.

So the mother-in-law didn't know that Yang Shuyi had broken up with her?

In the next second, Yang Shuyi calmly verified Shao Wu's guess:

"We're separated," he said, "in November."

Grandma: "What?"

"It's not suitable," Yang Shuyi ate alone, "After discussing it, we will split."

"You—what's the matter? Wasn't it fine before?" The mother-in-law put down her chopsticks, her tone anxious, "Did you quarrel? You have to quarrel when you're playing with friends. Your father-in-law and I also quarreled at that time, quarreling." You can't tell the difference between quarrels, girls have to be coaxed*..."

Yang Shuyi shook his head: "It's not too noisy, it's just inappropriate."

"you--"

"Mother-in-law, don't worry," Longlong persuaded with a wink, "Anyway, my brother is young, and there will be better ones in the future."

"Is he so young? After passing the age of 24, it's time to have a baby in two years. Shuyi, while I can still move, I can help you take care of the baby. In a few years , maybe I will..."

Longlong anxiously said: "Mother-in-law!"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about it," the mother-in-law sighed, "It's time to catch up, your aunt and the others want to introduce you to someone, what a good girl, and she also works in Chengdu. I rejected it for you... It's just a few days before the Chinese New Year, so you go and see her."

Shao Wu looked at Yang Shuyi, but couldn't say anything, so he could only hold his chopsticks silently.

Yang Shuyi said that he and Zou Xin broke up in November last year, that is, before he returned to Yongchuan to attend the wedding... It turned out that he had already broken up at that time, so he said that "5.00%"?Shao Wu couldn't help thinking about it. Just now Yang Shuyi said that there are 20.00%, [-]%. Of course, this is only an approximate number, but at least it shows that he is... more and more important in his heart, right?

Can you understand that?

And that kiss, although they didn't say it, but that kiss was actually kissed, it's true——Shao ​​Wu seemed to touch his lips unintentionally, as if he could still feel the moistness and warmth touch.Yang Shuyi didn't refuse him, maybe, maybe Yang Shuyi was willing to try with him.

After finally calming down, his heartbeat began to speed up again, Shao Wu lowered his eyes guiltyly, Yang Shuyi was all in his peripheral vision.

Then he heard Yang Shuyi's voice, very close and very clear:

"Okay, see you then."

Shao Wu looked up at Yang Shuyi.

Yang Shuyi also looked at him, his eyes were still open, he smiled at Shaowu: "Grandma, if there is a suitable girl, please introduce it to Shaowu."

Later, Shao Wu didn't know how the meal ended.

He only vaguely remembered that his mother-in-law said that so many fruits and bacon would be eaten until the first lunar month; Longlong grabbed a handful of chocolates from the refrigerator and stuffed them into his hands, saying that Yang Shuyi brought them back; Put it on his shoulders, embrace him, and say that I will send Shao Wu off.

It wasn't until he walked out of the community and stood on the side of the road that he came back to his senses.

The street lamps were very bright, and so were the small wobbly lanterns, and even the words "Chunhui Community" were clearly illuminated.Although the wind is still very strong, maybe it is because of eating and drinking, it doesn't feel so cold.

Everything became bright, and Shao Wu didn't know where the light came from—isn't this street going to be demolished?Why are there so many beams of light coming from all directions, just like the lights of the interrogation room in TV dramas.

He had nowhere to hide.

"Shao Wu," Yang Shuyi said, "You heard what my mother-in-law said."

Shao Wu nodded.

"I went home in December to take her to the hospital. After a brain CT scan, there was a small blood clot."

Shao Wu stared blankly at Yang Shuyi.

Yang Shuyi continued: "Do you understand what I mean? She is getting old, and my dad... has been gone for so many years. What she misses the most is me. Only when I get married can she feel at ease."

Shao Wu nodded again.

"Speak," Yang Shuyi's tone suddenly became irritable, "Do you understand, speak."

"...She will feel at ease when you are married," Shao Wu struggled to organize his words, "Did this mother-in-law say it herself?"

"Yes."

"..."

Shao Wu didn't know what to say.And Yang Shuyi also stood motionless, as if the two were engaged in a silent tug-of-war.

After a while, Shao Wu asked: "Then why didn't you...didn't reject me just now?"

"How do I know why!"

This is the second time Yang Shuyi grasped Shao Wu's wrist tightly tonight, just like when he dragged him home just now, with great strength, it hurt Shao Wu a bit.Finally, finally, his gaze was no longer so nonchalant, he looked at Shao Wu, the deepest part of his pupils seemed to be trembling, shaking out some indescribable emotions, reflected into Shao Wu's eyes along with the light.

At this moment, Shao Wu thought that Yang Shuyi was about to kiss him, so he kissed him ferociously, like a trapped animal pounced on the long-awaited food.

However, after a few seconds, Yang Shuyi let go of his hand.

Shao Wu knew that he almost kissed her, but he held back.

Because this place is neither under a dark tree nor any shelter, beams of light shoot from all directions, it is too bright, and they have nowhere to hide.

Yang Shuyi took half a step back, and said in a low voice, "Shao Wu, I admit, I like you a little bit."

Shao Wu helped him complete the second half of the sentence: "But it's just one point. And you still like girls, and you also want to marry girls."

"If it wasn't for mother-in-law... I would like to try with you... Really, Shao Wu." When he said this, his expression was a little innocent.

Shao Wu said: "I understand, Shuyi."
