tearful rose

Eight

Xin Wanwan held the mug, a little lost in thought.

Only a few small lights were turned on in the living room.

When Su Qiyang finished sorting out the new children's files and came out of the study, seeing that Xin Wanwan was still asleep, he turned on the headlight in the living room.

"mom?"

"Finished with work?"

"Hmm. You can't sleep?"

"A bit."

"I made milk tea for Lanlan at night, do you want to drink it?"

"Every time she drinks milk tea, she has to get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet. Don't spoil her all the time. Don't let her drink milk tea at night. If she wants to drink it, drink it during the day."

"Once in a while, it's okay."

Xin Wanwan sat down on the sofa.Holding the cup, she looked at Su Qiyang for a long time, she didn't speak for a long time, and suddenly burst into tears.Su Qiyang has seen such a situation once——

Seven years ago, when Xin Wanwan first found out that Su Qiyang had a boyfriend whom she had dated for two years in college, she also cried silently in front of him like this.

At that time, her crying was more forbearing and sad than now, but not as angry as it is now.

Su Qiyang felt extremely guilty.

"Mom, what's the matter with you? It's fine, I..." Su Qiyang was a little confused, and immediately took out a tissue and hurriedly wiped Xin Wanwan's tears.

"If you have something to say, don't scare me."

Xin Wanwan's eyes were red.

"That young man today, what is your relationship with him?"

As she spoke, she took out her mobile phone and put it on the coffee table in front of her - the screen of the mobile phone displayed the WeChat chat interface, and the "bad joke" was clearly in sight.

It was Su Cailan's cell phone.

She has always had no concept of privacy, and feels that there is nothing secret about her mobile phone. Whether it is mother or brother, they can read it whenever they want, Su Cailan never minds.

Su Qiyang sucked in a breath of cold air, full of hopelessness in life - he had only heard of cheating on his father before, but never seen such a girl cheating on his brother!

"Mom, listen to me..."

Su Qiyang bit the bullet and prepared to "rescue" himself.

Xin Wanwan didn't want to hear it.

"Yangyang, you have been a very assertive child since you were a child. I have never interfered with your affairs, from the small things like what school to go to, what major to choose, what job to do, what kind of partner to choose, whether to accept marriage or not. You, because mom believes in you and believes that you know what is the most suitable and the best."

Her voice sounded tired.

Su Qiyang felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Mother……"

"My mother has been an editor for decades, and she is responsible for publishing a lot of books in humanities and social sciences. She thinks she is not too ignorant and pedantic. Even if you..." Xin Wanwan showed a sad look: "Even if you choose a spouse very well, choose It's a different and difficult fork in the road, and my mother never felt sorry for you."

Su Qiyang's eye sockets were also moist.

"You are an adult and have the right to choose the way you want to live. As a mother, although I am very heartbroken, I am afraid that you will encounter injustice and discrimination because of your homosexuality in the future, and worry that you will encounter other people because of ordinary but special love in the future. Unimaginable pain and suffering, but, I am your mother, and I can only be the first person to respect and support you."

Su Qiyang started to cry.

"Mom, being your son is the happiest thing in my life."

Xin Wanwan smiled with tears in her eyes.

"I am also very proud to be your mother. When you were in graduate school, you lost your relationship and said that you were in pain, but I am very relieved that you did not indulge and spoil yourself like others. After so many years, you are indeed as I hoped, Every time is rational and can make the right choice. But this time—”

Xin Wanwan suddenly questioned Su Qiyang harshly.

"Qi Yang, do you know what you are doing?"

Su Qiyang blinked.

"mom?"

Xin Wanwan sighed: "I've taught you before that the most important thing to be an editor is to be careful. Although your mother doesn't have any extraordinary talent, she is a little bit proud of being careful." She looked at her son's face. Face: "Do you think I don't know? That young man today, you said his surname was Chen, and your sister called him 'Azhen'."

Anger flashed in Xin Wanwan's eyes.

"He is Chen Zhen, right? Chen Zhen is Lan Lan's younger brother, isn't he?"

She didn't check her daughter's phone on a whim.

She has long since admitted that Su Qiyang is gay, and it is not the first time her son has had a boyfriend, so this will not cause Xin Wanwan to be in a mess.But it's one thing for a son to have a boyfriend. The son's boyfriend is the daughter's younger brother, who might want to take her daughter away from her, so that's absolutely impossible.

Xin Wanwan was furious.

"Is Chen Zhen your boyfriend?"

"……Yes."

Teacher Su could only recite this pot with tears in his eyes.

Xin Wanwan patted the sofa and said angrily, "Break up! Break up with me immediately! Don't associate with the Chen family anymore! You won't be so foolish again!"

She stood up like an angry cat and turned around.

Ask something now and then.

"When did Lanlan know about your relationship?"

"She went to the office to look for me that day, and I forgot to lock the office door, so she saw it..." Before Su Qiyang finished speaking, Xin Wanwan thought about it for a moment, and her eyes went dark.

She pointed tremblingly at her son.

"What are you doing in the office? Why don't you lock the door in the office!" Xin Wanwan clutched her chest, "What did your sister see?! She's still a child!"

Su Qiyang was taken aback.

"Mom...!" Even talking about this kind of topic with your own mother is very embarrassing: "Where did you go? Chen Zhen and I didn't mess around... Just talk about things, and Lan Lan just heard it. Are you not wrong?" I know, Lanlan's carefulness is inherited from you, she can see it herself."

Xin Wanwan blushed.

"That's good……"

She asked again: "Lanlan also accepted? Did she not say anything?" When Su Qiyang came out, she was afraid that her daughter would not accept it, so she kept asking Su Qiyang to hide it from Su Cailan.

Su Qiyang has nothing to love in life.

"……No."

Miss Su couldn't imagine how happy she was.

Xin Wanwan didn't have time to pay attention to Miss Su's ability to accept, she just asked: "What's going on with you? Ah, why did you get mixed up with the Chen family? Ah? What's going on?"

Su Qiyang quickly went through it in his mind.

"Mom, do you still remember when my ex-boyfriend immigrated to Canada?"

Xin Wanwan was a little confused.

"Remember, didn't you break up because of this?"

Su Qiyang was sincere and sincere, and his mother couldn't pick out a trace of lying: "At that time, I was doing psychological counseling in an institution, and Chen Zhen's newspaper sent him to do an interview, and we met— —" Su Qiyang paused for a moment, ruthlessly, it was shameless to risk it all.

"He fell in love with me at first sight and pursued me all the time, but I didn't agree. We didn't contact each other for a few years. When we met this time, we recognized him..."

"Then why didn't we get together back then, and now we're in love?"

Su Qiyang was stopped by this question.

He was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "Back then... I don't know, maybe I was moved. It's just that I just broke up with him not long ago, and I was a little discouraged. I put all my heart on my children and just wanted to work hard , doing research, and didn’t want to talk about relationship matters. At that time, Chen Zhen was also very stubborn, and he couldn’t hold back his face. After being rejected by me once, he resigned and went north.”

Su Qiyang smiled wryly.

"In the final analysis, they were still young and immature at that time, and the timing of the two encounters was not suitable."

Xin Wanwan's face softened a little.

"Oh... that's how things are about relationships. If the person is right, the timing is wrong, and it won't work; the timing is right, but the person is wrong, and it won't work either. Only when it's just right can it last for a long time."

Su Qiyang was stunned for a moment.

He thought about these two words from his mother over and over in his heart, and he was really confused—what he said was not all lies, except for lying about the relationship between the two of them now, everything else was the truth.

Chen Zhen and him...

Where will you go in the future?Are they now the right person and the right time?Is everything just right?

Su Qiyang couldn't answer himself.

"Wait!" Xin Wanwan became angry again: "I'm not discussing your relationship with you, I'll talk about it later! I only have one sentence, you have a boyfriend, as long as the person is suitable, I have no objection. But you have to talk to Chen Together, I don't agree!"

Su Qiyang asked tentatively.

"Mom? Actually... Chen Zhen said that the Chen family's parents just wanted to see Lanlan, and they didn't mean to recognize Lanlan. Lanlan was not abandoned by her parents back then, and her parents were also very guilty. "

Xin Wanwan turned her head away.

"Can they guarantee it? As long as they meet Lanlan? Then what if they want to take Lanlan back after meeting? Are they going back on their word? What if they tell Lanlan the truth?"

Su Qiyang carefully looked at Xin Wanwan's expression.

"If Lanlan knew that she was an abandoned child, she would be so sad. When she was a child, her classmates passed this word on, and she cried for a long time when she came back. Don't you remember? Your father was so angry that he went to school to find a teacher and quarrel with the other parent. It's over."

Xin Wanwan's heart ached.

"Of course I remember, but... as long as Lanlan doesn't know that the Chen family's parents are her biological parents, and that she is abandoned, it's nothing more than a meeting and a meal."

Seeing that Xin Wanwan's expression was a little loose, Su Qiyang continued to persuade her.

"Besides, now that Lanlan knows about my relationship with Chen Zhen, she knows Chen Zhen. It's hard to say whether I will be with Chen Zhen in the future. Anyway, Lanlan doesn't dislike us, so she just uses this Opportunity, invite the Chen family to have a meal, tell Lan Lan that both parents approve of us, and meet together. Besides, we must also think about my sister. In case..."

Su Qiyang said so much that he became worried: "I mean, if in the future, Lan Lan really knows her life experience and knows that her parents are looking for us, but we don't let her see her, will she blame us? "

Xin Wanwan blurted out: "Impossible!"

After speaking, her face was ugly.

Su Qiyang didn't know whether Xin Wanwan's "impossible" meant that it was impossible for Su Cailan to know her own background, or it was impossible for Su Cailan to hate them?

"mom……"

In the second bedroom, Su Cailan who was about to get up at night was startled.Su Cailan in the dark heard Xin Wanwan and Su Qiyang's words, subconsciously stretched out her hands and clenched her arms, tears streaming down her face.

It turned out that she was abandoned by her family, and the rumors and gossips among her classmates when she was a child were all true...

Su Cailan cried aggrievedly.
