tearful rose

nine

Most of the time, the direction of fate cannot be completely determined by oneself. This is not a matter of luck or misfortune, but no matter what, people must learn to accept it.

It took Chen Zhen and Su Qiyang a long time to convince their parents.

Xin Wanwan reluctantly agreed.

"Where are your parents?"

"Ah."

Chen Zhen looked at Su Qiyang reassuringly: "I told my parents, and they promised not to tell Cailan the truth. Just for us, the two families have a meal together, and she won't get suspicious of."

Su Qiyang hesitated for a moment.

"What did you tell your parents?"

Chen Zhen stopped in his tracks.

They were walking along a long, quiet bridge.On the other side of the bridge, the lights are flickering, and the buildings and mansions are full of color and light. The museum on the other side is as quiet as the sea, with a vague and elegant outline.On the other side of the bridge, there is only the bright moon, the river is gurgling, and there is no one around, which is a good scene for kissing.

Chen Zhen suddenly leaned over to Su Qiyang.

"Teacher Su—"

His voice was soft and quiet.

"Ms. Su, my heart is beating, it is beating very fast! Do you know that it is beating so fast, it means that it likes you very much."

Su Qiyang made a sound of "□□", and unconsciously, his blood surged up.

"This is too foul..."

He leaned on Chen Zhen's body, and he really heard the beating sound of his heart in his chest, one after another, steady and intense.

Chen Zhen laughed softly, unbelievably soft.

"I told my parents that my older sister's older brother is my boyfriend and will be with me for the rest of my life. They have long accepted my sexuality. Once they heard that Cailan has become my younger sister, they have no motivation to object at all."

Su Qiyang also laughed.

"Mr. Chen."

"Hey—Teacher Su?"

"I am very angry."

"why?"

"Because your motives are impure."

"That's right, I just have impure motives. To be honest—" Chen Zhen held up Su Qiyang's face, and looked obsessively at his warm eyes like spring water—this was the person he fell in love with at first sight back then: "Since I knew my sister When I'm doing well, my motives are not pure."

"Do you want to confess?"

"I confess, I just want to chase you again."

"Unpredictable, tsk."

Chen Zhen smiled softly, and said softly, "I have ulterior motives, Mr. Su, I apologize to you—don't reject me again."

After speaking, Chen Zhen did what he wanted to do five years ago.

"I want to kiss you, Teacher Su."

Su Qiyang closed his eyes.

after a long time--

"Lemon flavor?"

"I think I might be tempted to kiss you at any moment - so I brush my teeth six times a day, just in case. Lemon-flavored toothpaste, do you like it?"

Chen Zhen lazily leaned his head on Su Qiyang's shoulder, and said with a smile.

Su Qiyang licked his teeth.

"improvise."

Chen Zhen couldn't help but wanted to laugh - he was inexplicably happy when he saw Su Qiyang, just wanted to laugh.Even if he didn't do anything, as long as he saw Su Qiyang there, Chen Zhen wanted to smile at the world.

"I'm going to pick up Lanlan from get off work."

"I'm so jealous of my sister."

"...Go away, showman."

After returning home that day, the first thing Su Qiyang and Xin Wanwan had to do was to tell Su Cailan about the outcome and twists and turns of his coming out.

Su Qiyang didn't know if the timing was right.

"Blue?"

"Ah."

Su Cailan absently responded.

Su Qiyang frowned.

"What's the matter with you these two days?" Su Qiyang was not convenient to observe his younger sister's face - ever since Su Cailan misunderstood that he had Chen Zhen as her boyfriend, Su Cailan stopped taking his co-pilot.

"Unhappy?"

Su Cailan responded a little listlessly.

"……Um."

Su Qiyang became serious as soon as he heard it, and he was much more worried about his sister than he was about the Chen family: "What's wrong? Have you encountered a problem at work? Or is it because you don't get along well with your colleagues? You don't communicate well with customers?"

Su Cailan said lazily.

"No, everything is fine."

Seeing that she was clearly not interested, Su Qiyang suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Lanlan..."

"Ok?"

Su Cailan was a little nervous.

Could it be that her brother guessed what she eavesdropped on?Although she was wronged and sad, she didn't want her mother and brother to know that she had learned about her life experience.

"You're not in love, are you?"

Su Qiyang asked seriously.

"Pfft——hahahahahahahahahahahaha, brother, where are you thinking?"

Su Cailan almost burst into tears from laughter.

"Guess."

Su Qiyang's tone became cautious: "Lanlan, my brother told you that you are almost 28, and your family has no objection to your dating. If you meet the right person, it's okay to get along with him."

Su Cailan started to joke.

"What? I have a boyfriend and I want to recite my scriptures? It's cool to be single, Ms. Su, I have a mother, a brother, a money, a house, hobbies, and friends. I don't lack anything. The days are nourishing! You Don't worry about it with mom, I don't have anyone suitable, and I'm not in a hurry, take your time."

Su Qiyang laughed.

"Okay, okay...you are happy. So why not happy?"

Su Cailan's eyes dimmed.

"I've been in love with a couple of European and American stars' RPS for ten years. Recently, I read news about him. One of them has publicly announced that they have a girlfriend. My heart is also broken... It feels worse than losing my relationship."

Su Cailan's tone was unlovable.

"What is RPS?"

"...The relationship between real people, roughly speaking, is the love relationship between two cute actors, but--it's not painful! The ship sank! My soul was hit!"

"Who are you cute?"

"Brolin!"

Su Qiyang was dumbfounded.

"Who?"

"The two men on my phone screen saver, phone desktop, WeChat chat background, QQ chat background, computer desktop, and all social accounts..."

Su Qiyang could only laugh dryly.

"By the way, Lanlan, I have something to tell you when I get home tonight."

Su Cailan lowered her eyebrows.

"Okay."

When they got home, they saw Xin Wanwan sitting upright waiting for the siblings to come home.Seeing Xin Wanwan's struggling expression, Su Cailan's heart sank——

She knew her mother wasn't struggling with the fact that her brother had a boyfriend.

"Mom, we're back."

"Oh oh..."

Xin Wanwan quickly stood up.

"have you eaten?"

"My brother took me out to eat before I came back."

"it is good."

Su Cailan took off her scarf, pretending to be casual: "Brother just said in the car that Mommy has something to tell me? What is it? It's so solemn."

Xin Wanwan looked at Su Qiyang hesitantly.

She had already begun to suspect that she would regret it in the future.

"mom?"

Xin Wanwan felt sour in her heart.

It was her daughter after all.

"Sit down, I have something to tell you." Xin Wanwan opened her mouth a few times but couldn't speak. She drank several sips of tea, and the cup was almost empty.

Su Cailan felt distressed seeing it.

"Mom? I'm your daughter." She looked at Xin Wanwan and Su Qiyang seriously: "I'm the daughter of the Su family, brother's younger sister. What do you want to hide from me? Tell me, it's okay."

Su Cailan smiled.

"There is nothing the family can't say."

Xin Wanwan finally calmed down.

"Lanlan, I want to tell you today—" Her courage was really weak, and her tone became cautious: "Actually, I knew about your brother having a boyfriend seven years ago, when you were still young, I'm afraid it will affect you, so I discussed with your brother not to tell you."

"The matter between my brother and Chen Zhen—"

Her expression is a little wooden.

Xin Wanwan said in a low voice: "When I went to the museum that day and saw how close they were, I guessed it. Then I looked at your phone—Lanlan, mom apologizes to you—and I knew it."

"You guys know everything..."

Su Cailan shed tears without warning, losing control of her emotions. "Just keep it from me? How can you do this? I'm also from the Su family. Why didn't you let me know for so many years?"

She broke down and cried.

Xin Wanwan and Su Qiyang were stunned, they didn't expect Su Cailan's reaction to be so intense - although they guessed that Lanlan would be angry and unhappy, they didn't expect her to care so much.

"Lanlan, I'm sorry, it's my mother who made a mistake."

"Brother also apologizes to you."

"Don't cry, baby..." Xin Wanwan's heart ached so badly, she said to Su Qiyang: "It's all your fault, so I'll just say don't talk about it, and get a hot towel to wipe your sister's face!"

"Good good."

Su Qiyang went without stopping.

Xin Wanwan wiped her daughter's tears carefully: "Good baby, don't cry, mom and brother are wrong, I shouldn't hide it from you, I should have told you earlier... Ah, don't cry, the makeup is all over, it's not pretty anymore ah!"

Su Cailan sobbed.

"You lied to me...you don't believe me either! My surname is Su too!"

She vented the pain and grievance hidden in her heart almost unreasonably.I feel sad for my parents and elder brother who have worked so hard to protect me, and I also feel sad for my own life experience.

but……

She raised her crying face and stared at Xin Wanwan and Su Qiyang's distressed and helpless expressions with tears in her eyes.She knew that they were always the people who loved her the most in this world.

That's enough, it's enough.

Who doesn't have any regrets in their life?

"Lanlan, don't be angry..." Su Qiyang willingly said, "Brother is wrong, don't cry. I'll buy you cosmetics, clothes, and take you out to play. Didn't you tell me before?" Want to go to London to see a stage play? I'll take you there next February, okay? Don't cry, I was wrong..."

Xin Wanwan hurriedly said, "Go, go, go if you want."

Su Cailan was tired from crying.

She smiled through tears.

"Don't go back on your word!"

"Whoever repents is a dog! Be a single dog for the rest of your life!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha good!"

Su Cailan was amused - no matter how sad she was, she had to digest it by herself, why bother to make her family who loved her so much worry and embarrass her?

"Is that all you want to tell me?"

With a stiff face, Xin Wanwan said awkwardly: "In a few days, it will be your brother's 30th birthday. The parents of the Chen family have already recognized their affair. Look, your brother and Chen Zhen... can't say anything about it." It's like getting married, you can get engaged, get married, etc. So I think, on your brother's birthday, let's invite Chen Zhen and his family to have a meal together."

"Okay."

Su Cailan wiped her face, swallowing all the complicated feelings in her heart alone.

"Please, it's a good thing. It's rare that the two families are reasonable and didn't make it difficult for them. Then please, let's get to know each other seriously."

Su Qiyang took a deep look at Su Cailan - always felt that his sister's reaction was a bit strange?

That's the way it is, that's all.

Xin Wanwan sighed.

"Then it's decided."
