After supper, Aunt Xu began to actively make the bed.

"You can sleep on an extra bed, I'll make it up in the escort chair." She said to Cai Cai.

"How can I do that?" Of course Cai Cai disagreed.

"Why not?" Aunt Xu raised her eyebrows and pretended to be angry, "You go to work during the day and come to accompany Xiao Yu at night, it's already hard work, if I let you sleep on a chair again, how can I, as a mother, feel happy? "

She said the word "mother" very emphatically, and after she finished speaking, she took a special look at Xiao Yu.

The latter showed no expression.

She was a little disappointed, but quickly cheered up again, and said while tidying up the recliner: "Don't look at me as I am old, I am not bad at all, I can fall asleep right away wherever I put it."

"Aunt Xu, I don't dare to sleep when you're like this." Cai Cai leaned over, picked her up, and led her to the extra bed, saying sincerely, "Xiao Yu is my friend, I'll come and see She should be. You are an elder, and I should take care of you. So tonight, I will either sleep on the chair, or I will go back first. "

"Go back?" Aunt Xu immediately wrapped her arms around Cai Cai's shoulders.

"...Auntie, I won't run away, so don't pinch me." Cai Cai looked at the bruises gradually appearing on his shoulders, and couldn't laugh or cry, "Anyway, you sleep on the bed, okay?"

"That's a shame for you!"

"No grievances, no grievances."

"What a shame!"

"Sorry, sorry."

"That……"

"Is it over?" Xiao Yu suddenly said, startling the two of them.

"It's over, it's over," Aunt Xu hurriedly let go of Cai Cai's hand, smiling a little shyly, "Then do as you said, but... I really wronged you."

"I'm not wronged, it's much more comfortable than my bed." Cai Cai said, and sat down on the escort chair, "Occasionally sleeping hard can help the development of the spine, Aunt Xu, you don't know, my bed , as soft as cotton, and every day when I wake up, I have back pain and leg cramps..."

"I think it's okay." Xiao Yu said suddenly.

After slapping his face, Cai Cai was ashamed and annoyed: "You haven't slept yet!"

"Slept."

"when!"

"Last time you were drunk, I'll take you back."

Aunt Xu's eyes lit up.

……

The night passed very long, very long.

The chair is not easy to sleep at all, it is too narrow, and turning over is harder than climbing to the sky.Cai Cai couldn't sleep, and didn't dare to move around, for fear of disturbing her mother and daughter.

While holding my breath, I suddenly heard a very small sound of Xisuo.

A thief?Cai Cai quickly raised his head and looked into the back room.

It turned out to be Aunt Xu. She didn't know when she got up, and she was sitting by Xiao Yu's bed.The night was too dark to see the expression on her face clearly, but also because it was too quiet, she could faintly hear her murmuring.

"Don't blame me."

"Life is short, live it for yourself."

"There is a family, there are responsibilities, there is also self, and there is pursuit."

"I did what I thought was right."

"I have never cared about the world's vision and the evaluation of outsiders."

"Love is the only motivation to live."

"Xiao Lei is fine, I'm sorry for him."

"I'm sorry for you too."

"But I don't regret it."

she spoke softly.

suddenly.

"Why?"

It was Xiao Yu's voice.

She woke up.

Or not sleeping at all.

"Huh!" Aunt Xu stood up abruptly, obviously terrified.

"Why?" Xiao Yu asked again.

Aunt Xu rubbed her chest, thought for a while, then lowered her head and looked at her tenderly: "Xiao Yu, we are of different ages, I have not received a good education, so I don't know what is gay and what is homosexuality. I am not deceiving you Dad, I just don't know myself, that's why I got married and gave birth to you."

"But later, I met Xiaoyan, so I knew, I knew that my previous life was wrong, so I want to correct it."

"I don't want to lie to your father. He is a good man, but not the right one. If I continue to live with him against my will, I will be sorry for him and myself."

"If you don't like him, why did you marry him?" Xiao Yu's tone was very light, very depressing.

"In those days, many things were beyond our control, including marriage."

"It's a good way to shirk responsibility."

"Besides, I hadn't met Xiao Yan at that time, and I didn't know my sexual orientation. I even thought that I was really heterosexual, and I could grow old with your father in peace."

"Your father treats me very well, and I treat him well. Everyone respects each other like a guest and rarely blushes. But because of this, I don't want to deceive him even more, so I discussed it with him, hoping to find a compromise. , and leave."

"And then he died."

"I didn't know he had a heart attack."

"But he died because of you."

"Otherwise I will die."

Both of their voices were very low, deep, and depressed, and the emotions behind the suppression had already become turbulent and out of control.

"If it were you, what would you do?" Aunt Xu's voice was filled with tears.

Xiao Yu looked at her: "You are a wife and a mother. You have a family and responsibilities. These cannot be offset by a simple 'like'."

"Cheating is cheating, no matter if it's a man or a woman, and it doesn't matter whether it's mental or physical. You gave up my dad, and then he died, and you gave up on me, so I died too."

"Light rain..."

"So just treat me as dead, okay? From now on, you live your life and I live mine. We owe nothing to each other."

"It's not like this..." Aunt Xu cried, and Cai Cai saw a line of clear tears slipping from the corner of her eyes, turning into a pure stream, crystal clear under the reflection of the street lamp outside the window.

"I understand you, but I don't forgive you." Xiao Yu said it firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Aunt Xu cried even harder.

……

When Cai Cai opened his eyes again, the sky was already bright.

I don't know when they fell asleep, and I don't know if they said anything after that.The memory stays in Aunt Xu's sobbing, and those low whispers, buzzing, buzzing, like a lullaby, kneading Cai Cai's tired nerves.

"You're awake! Come and have breakfast!" Seeing Cai Cai get up, Aunt Xu greeted warmly.She swept away the gloom of last night and looked positive and sunny, but she didn't know if it was real or just pretending.

"Xiao Yu went for a checkup. I just went downstairs and bought a few steamed buns. The weather outside is very nice, and the sun in the early winter is the most comfortable." She said as she stuffed a bag of steamed stuffed buns into Cai Cai's arms, "Here , 8, all for you."

"so much?"

"Not much, not much. With your appetite, I'm afraid it won't be enough."

"Then what does Xiao Yu eat?"

"Chicken Soup!"

Auntie, I also want to eat Chao Shou with chicken soup.Cai Cai thought to herself.

"Eat quickly, let's go see the house after eating." Aunt Xu sat next to her with a smile, "Although our place is an old community, life is very convenient. There are many parks and gardens, and there are supermarkets and vegetable markets. Everything you young people like, such as playing ball, swimming and fitness, as well as swings, rocking chairs, shuttle boards, in short, it will definitely not be boring."

"...Are you really going?" Cai Cai was the first and the second was older.

"Of course it's true." Aunt Xu said, as if she was afraid that she would run away, she put her hand on her shoulder thoughtfully.

Cai Cai hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it: "Aunt Xu, forget it, I'm not used to living in other people's homes."

Aunt Xu paused.

Immediately afterwards, Cai Cai said sincerely: "I find it troublesome even to live in my own home. I am used to being free, and I still like to be alone."

When Aunt Xu heard this, her eyes turned red, and she was about to shed tears.

"Auntie knows, Auntie is going too far." Her voice was low and weak, as sad as a child who lost a toy, "Auntie really has no other choice, as long as Xiao Yu can...can back down a little, I won't be so difficult. Cai, I'm sorry to embarrass you."

"Aunt Xu..."

"But Auntie doesn't have much time. I can't wait for her to leave her alone, so I have to do everything possible. At least in my lifetime, I can live a happy life with her again. If this is the case, I will be satisfied."

"What did you say?" No time for what?What lifetime?What?What's the meaning?Cai Cai raised his head in surprise, his eyes fixed on her.

"She doesn't want to go back with me, and she doesn't want me to take care of her. No one can persuade her, except you."

"No, Auntie, what do you mean you don't have time?" Cai Cai's mind was full of these words.

Aunt Xu was silent for a while.

"I am sick."

"What disease?"

"A disease that cannot be cured."

"..."

"Don't ask, it's useless to ask, don't worry, I have my own measure."

"Then... does Xiao Yu know?"

"I don't know, don't tell me, it's embarrassing for everyone. It doesn't matter if she doesn't want to talk to me, I'll go talk to her, as long as she's willing to come back and live, I don't see you looking up every day, why don't you worry about not being able to talk?"

"However, even if I agree to go, she may not go."

"I will go." Aunt Xu nodded, a special light flashed in her eyes, "I can see that you two have a very good relationship, as long as you are willing to come, she will definitely come."

"yes……"

"Yes, yes," Aunt Xu replied very firmly, "You don't know, my daughter is a little girl, conceited and proud. She has always kept her eyes on the sky along the way. It is rare to have friends, especially... since she After Dad left, the whole person became more and more lonely, sometimes looking at her from a distance, she felt like a remnant soul that could not be tolerated in the world, and was incompatible with everything around her."

"Auntie...it's not good for you to say that about your daughter..."

"Auntie speaks straighter."

"..."

"So, just do Auntie a favor, okay?"

"..."

"Your aunt Shen cooks delicious food, especially braised chicken nuggets..."

"Okay," Cai Cai sighed, "Then bother you."
