Teacher Zhuang Li and Zhou Zihang's cohabitation life is very special. As the end of the year is approaching, the two are holding hands and preparing for a routine weekend dating project.

"Artistic films, commercial films, horror films, and Chinese manga, Zhuang Li, which one do you want to watch?" Zhou Zihang squeezed his chin, staring at the flickering screen and thinking carefully, "Let's watch something lighter." Zhuang Lishen Swipe twice on the screen with a finger, "That's all, one hundred thousand bad jokes, support Guoman."

"The score is not bad, but this one is the only one, and the name is very connotative." Zhou Zihang bought two tickets decisively, "There is still an hour, let's go for a stroll around the neighborhood first."

Zhou Zihang glanced at the map of the shopping mall, locked on the Haagen-Dazs on the first floor, "Come on, brother will take you to eat Haagen-Dazs."

"Yo, is this a new way of expressing love?"

"Well, the semantic pun is mild and more emotional."

"Not bad, I commend you for your hard work and study spirit."

"Apply for rewards!"

"...Let's talk."

There were not many people in the store, so the two found a secluded place to sit down, "It's cold now, just try it, so as not to make your stomach cold." Zhuang Li restrained Zhou Zihang's ordering style of a local tyrant, and ordered a pair of matcha and chocolate Two-color cup, Zhou Zihang was driven back to his seat, ready to browse a blog, just took out his phone, the screen lit up, looking at a string of numbers on the caller ID, Zhou Zihang frowned.

Zhou Zihang stood up, opened the door and walked outside the store, and pressed the answer button, "Hello, Mom, what's the matter?"

A gentle and elegant female voice came from the receiver, "You haven't been home for so long, I'll call you and ask."

"I was out with my friends."

"Next week will be New Year's Day, remember to go home, don't make your father angry again." Zhou's mother said to her son dotingly, "Your second sister got engaged on the night of January [-]nd and asked you to be her best man .”

"Second sister is getting engaged?" Zhou Zihang was a little surprised, "I will go back early."

"Well, come back and stay for a few more days this time. Don't always think about running out to play. Going home is not in confinement."

"Understood, Mom." Zhou Zihang said helplessly, "My friend is waiting for me, hang up first."

"Oh, let's go."

Zhou Zihang hung up the phone, turned around and went back to the store, Zhuang Li was eating ice cream balls with a small spoon, "If you don't come back, I will eat it all in one bite." Zhuang Li pointed to the matcha flavor that Zhou Zihang likes , and then scooped up a large spoonful and held it to Zhou Zihang's mouth, "It's almost melted."

"I just went to answer my mother's call." Zhou Zihang wrapped his mouth around the spoon and said vaguely, Zhuang Li wanted to take the spoon back, but Zhou Zihang bit him tightly, so he gave up and let go , "What did your mother say?"

"It's nothing, it's just to greet me and remind me to go home on New Year's Eve." Zhou Zihang was shocked by the ice, seeing Zhuang Li smirking at him, "Little villain, you know how to trick me."

"Who said that it hurts you, and I gave you such a big spoonful."

"Then have another bite." Zhou Zihang moved his head closer to Zhuang Li with a spoon in his mouth, the two scooped up the small ice cream balls quickly, and Zhuang Li stuck out his tongue from the cold, Zhou Zihang saw no one around , went up to lick it, and said with endless aftertaste: "Well, it tastes like matcha chocolate."

----------Dividing line

Zhou Zihang and Zhuang Li are both locals, and it is very convenient to go home, so Zhou Zihang kept Zhuang Li entangled until the afternoon of the New Year's Eve, and then reluctantly let him go home, and before leaving, he still hugged him and did not let go, "Okay That's enough, it's only an hour or two away, don't be so exaggerated, stay at home and wait for the driver to pick you up, Baby Zhou." Zhuang Li slapped Zhou Zihang who wanted to go up to kiss him, and turned his back without looking back. Take the bag and leave.

Zhou Zihang stood at the window and waved goodbye to Zhuang Li downstairs. Seeing Zhuang Li walking away, the smile on his face gradually faded. He didn't like going home very much. Relatives, the relationship is not bad, but in that house where he has to think twice before speaking, he doesn't feel at all comfortable.

A black car parked quietly under the apartment building. Zhou Zihang came back to his senses, grabbed the key of the apartment, and went downstairs to get in the car.

"You're back, son." As soon as Zhou Zihang entered, he was caught by Zhou's mother who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, "Well, you look good."

"Eat, drink, and sleep well every day. Of course you look better. Where are Dad and Second Sister?" Zhou Zihang's eldest sister married a few years ago. He is the youngest son of the Zhou family. When I came back, there was one less person at home.

"Your father hasn't returned from the company yet, and your sister has gone out. We can have dinner later. Are you hungry? How about I make you some snacks first?" Zhou's mother finally saw her son, so naturally she asked his son, Zhou Zihang took a photo Mother's shoulder, "No, I'll go upstairs to rest for a while, and come down after dinner."

Back in the room, Zhou Zihang lay on his back on the bed, wanted to close his eyes and take a nap, but couldn't help but think of Zhuang Li, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched slightly, he started thinking about him endlessly after being apart for so long, he was really eaten by Zhuang Li died.

Only Zhou's father, Zhou's mother and the three of him have dinner. Zhou's father pays attention to eating and sleeping without talking. There is only a slight sound of bowls and chopsticks in the huge restaurant. Zhou Zihang looked at the table full of dishes and curled his lips secretly. The dishes have to be chewed slowly, and I feel aggrieved.

"Zihang, come to my study after eating, I have something to tell you." Father Zhou put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, got up and left without waiting for Zhou Zihang's answer.

"Oh." Seeing Zhou Zihang's back walking away, Zhou Zihang crossed his legs and began to eat meat in relief. Zhou's mother saw Zhou Zihang wolfing down, smiled and shook her head.

After filling his stomach and getting ready for a first-level battle, Zhou Zihang raised his chest and pushed open the heavy wooden door of the study, "Dad, you are looking for me."

Father Zhou was standing by the window with a teacup in hand. Seeing Zhou Zihang coming, he asked him to sit down indifferently.Zhou Zihang was the most frightened by his father's face of Hades, not as good as his mother's Empress Dowager Cixi, at least he dared to coax him.

"Your mother told you about your sister's engagement."

"Well, it is said that it is going to try on the best man's outfit tomorrow morning, and the engagement banquet the night after tomorrow."

"Yeah." Father Zhou put the teacup on the mahogany table, "Your two sisters are sorted out."

Zhou Zihang raised his head in doubt, "What do you mean?"

"The real estate under your mother's name and mine was divided equally between your eldest sister and second sister. They have nothing to say about this. After all, if you marry a woman, you are going to someone else's house."

Zhou Zihang didn't speak, Zhou's father went on to say: "As for the Zhou family, I have given them everything I can."

"Dad, I..." Zhou Zihang tried to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou's father waving his hand, "So, the company belongs to you alone, and neither of them has any objections."

Zhou Zihang was at a loss for words for a while, not knowing how to respond, "You are now a junior, you can slowly get in touch with company affairs, learn a little first, so you can discover your own shortcomings, and then I will send you to study abroad for two years, so that you can learn more."

"I don't want to go abroad." Zhou Zihang protested aloud, but Zhou's father didn't take it seriously, "It's okay if you don't go abroad, then you have to get a decent graduate degree, don't think that you can get it by studying an undergraduate degree at HKUST, in this world, give me All the tea pourers are doctors, you thought you could hang around all day long."

"..." Zhou Zihang continued to remain silent, "Although you are the youngest child of our Zhou family, you are indeed the eldest son. You should take on your responsibilities, understand?" Zhou's father's words were like a wake-up call. It sounded Zhou Zihang's muddled dream, the last thing he wanted to face, finally came the day he had to face it.

He understands, why doesn't he understand, "You should shoulder the responsibilities of the Zhou family", this sentence, as long as he can remember, his father has said to him countless times, his mother and sister also deeply agree, everyone Everyone thinks this is a matter of course. No one has ever asked him what he thinks, just because he is the only son.

Zhou Zihang felt tired and sleepy for no reason. He stood up and wanted to leave the study, but before he could open his mouth, Zhou's father's words hit his ears like a bolt from the blue, "You seem to be very close to a boy named Zhuang Li?"

Zhou Zihang turned his head abruptly, and what he saw was still Zhou's father's calm face, "That kid is very good, much better than you."

"I don't care what your relationship is, and I don't want to interfere in your private affairs. Play as you like. I'm just telling you the truth. Think about it for yourself."

Zhou Zihang felt that his throat was dry, he was indeed a little kid in front of his father, every step was clearly seen, and he was well arranged, but there was a little difference, there was no Zhuang Li on the way past.

He raised his head firmly and looked straight into Zhou's father's eyes, "I will do well what I should do. But," Zhou Zihang's eyes were fearless, "I am not just playing with him, we are serious. of."
