"...Acquaintance?" Xiao Jingxu's pupils dilated slowly, as if he was not sure what he heard, his voice almost split apart with excitement: "You mean, are you in a relationship?"

"Yeah." Dai Li looked calm on the surface, but in fact the hand hanging on one side was clenched into a fist, "From now on, we are lovers, we are not allowed to go on a blind date, and once I found out, I broke a rib."

Xiao Jingxu's eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but bend down, as if a butterfly was flapping its wings in his heart, and it was about to fly out.Sure enough, it was Lili from him, the confession was not romantic at all, and it was threatening, but he liked it very much.

The tie was still held in Dai Li's hand, and he could see that Dai Li was a little nervous, because the fingers holding his tie trembled slightly, Xiao Jingxu's eyes softened, he took that hand lightly, and let it go. On the chest, said: "Li Li, being with me may be very hard, and I will be hindered by my mother or other unforeseen obstacles. I haven't contacted you for a while, because I am afraid that my mother will find you trouble .I didn't think to involve you so quickly, I planned to hide you before I found a solution to the problem. "

"No need." Dai Li said frankly, "I don't need to be protected, we will be aboveboard. When I made up my mind to associate with you, I was already mentally prepared. I won't brag or criticize, there is nothing I can't bear, and , I will carry it together with your share."

Xiao Jingxu's pupils trembled slightly, and thousands of thoughts in his heart were instantly intertwined, from surprise to relief, and then to a sense of emotion. Finally, he lowered his head, put his forehead on Dai Li's, and said softly : "Li Li, you are so special, how can you be so good, you are better than I expected, so good that I don't know how to treat you, I'm afraid you will regret it if you are unhappy."

Dai Li felt his breath quietly, and after a while, raised his hand to brush Xiao Jingxu's hair: "Fool, although I have a bad temper, I keep my word."

Keep your word, it means that you won't regret it if you are together.

Xiao Jingxu's heart warmed, and he held his hand even tighter. Even though he was usually eloquent, his tongue was so clumsy at this moment that he couldn't speak a word.

"By the way." Dai Li said suddenly, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"what happened?"

"This is the first serious love in my life. I don't want to hide it from my family, so I want to take you to meet someone."

"Meet someone?" Xiao Jingxu couldn't help being puzzled when he heard this. He had met all of Dai Li's family members. Who else wanted to take him to meet on purpose?

"I'll take you...to meet my mother."

Xiao Jingxu was stunned. He didn't expect that Dai Li would take him to see his mother. At this moment, he deeply realized that Dai Li valued their relationship.

He nodded: "Okay, tomorrow, let's go together."

Dai Li's mother works in the office building in Building A of the Technology Park. For a long time, Dai Li would sneak over and peek at his subordinates standing not far away. He clearly remembered the time when his mother went to work and left. I also remember that the lawyer would bring her children to pick her up from get off work every Wednesday.

The reason why I hide under the tree and peek is because there is always a little obsession in my heart that I can't let go of, and I can't figure out why they are not good enough and why my mother left them.

Later, I realized that it was not that they were not good enough, but that there were better ones.

Since he figured it out, Dai Li stopped coming here, as if he had completely cut off this obsession from the bottom of his heart.

A car slowly stopped in front of the office building in Building A. Xiao Jingxu wanted to lower the window and asked, "Is it here?"

"Ah."

Dai Li sat in the passenger seat, but kept his head down.

"Are we just sitting in the car?"

"Just in the car." Dai Li said.

"How long has it been since you saw her?"

"I came here a few times last year." Dai Li coughed lowly, trying to make himself look more relaxed, "During the Chinese New Year this year, my dad was drunk, holding a wine bottle and crying while calling my mom's name , and then I decided not to come again. She has already left our family, so there is no need to be persistent, without her, my dad, Xiaofei and I can live well.”

Xiao Jingxu listened silently, then raised his hand to stroke the back of his head like a comforting animal.

After sitting quietly with him for a while, Xiao Jingxu looked at the clock in the car. At six o'clock, people left work one after another. The people who came out of the office building were almost all carrying briefcases, wearing business attire, and walking in a hurry.

"It's her." Dai Li suddenly whispered.

Xiao Jingxu followed his gaze and saw a woman in a white professional uniform, with a slim and tall figure, with big waves, carrying a small black bag, and her beautiful features were somewhat similar to Dai Li.

The woman was standing under the steps, not knowing who she was talking on the phone with.

Dai Li thought that he was able to face her calmly, but after seeing her again after a long time, it was still difficult to calm down.

"Aren't you going down?" Xiao Jingxu asked.

Dai Li hesitated for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"Forget it, she probably doesn't remember me."

"It's okay, say hello, with a new look, let her know that you are doing well."

Dai Li still hesitated.

"How about this." Xiao Jingxu continued to suggest, "Let's get out of the car first and get closer. If she recognizes you, then say hello. If she doesn't recognize you, let's go."

Dai Li thought for a long time, and finally nodded.

The two got out of the car together and walked towards the woman. When they were more than ten meters away from her, a black car drove over and slowly stopped between them.

The car door opened, and a five or six-year-old girl jumped out of it. She seemed to have just finished school, was still wearing a kindergarten uniform, and was carrying a small pink schoolbag.

"Mom!" With a crisp cry, the little girl threw herself into the woman's arms.

"Baby." The woman bent down and picked up the little girl, kissing her cheek.

Immediately afterwards, the person in the driver's seat also got out of the car. He was a middle-aged man in a suit. He walked towards the mother and daughter, and the three of them were talking and laughing.

Dai Li's footsteps froze in place, as if he was moving forward, and he could no longer move a step forward.

He was a little dazed, staring blankly at the family of three for a long time, then lowered his head and said sullenly, "I forgot, today is Wednesday."

Xiao Jingxu stood side by side with him, hooking his hand with a finger to let him know that he was there.

"Let's go."

"you sure?"

"……Um."

"Mom." The little girl hugged the woman's neck and said in a milky voice, "There seems to be a big brother watching you over there."

The woman and the man lived together and turned their heads to look, but only saw a few passers-by, and no one was looking at them.

The man pinched his daughter's little face: "Are you dazzled?"

The little girl pouted: "Not really."

"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner." The man opened the car door and let his wife and children sit in.

But when the woman was about to close the car door, she took another look at the place where Dai Li was standing, thinking about everything.

Dai Li and Xiao Jingxu leaned against the car, silently kicking small stones on the ground.Xiao Jingxu glanced at him and said, "Did you just... just run away?"

Dai Li couldn't bear it, and said stiffly, "No."

"If I were you, I would go up and say hello to them."

"Forget it, she won't remember me."

As soon as the words were finished, a woman's voice suddenly came from the side: "...Excuse me..."

Dai Li raised his head abruptly, and saw the woman standing in front of him holding a small bag, looking at him uncertainly.

Dai Li quickly straightened his body, standing even more straight than the military posture in the military training station.

Seeing his reaction, the woman further confirmed the guess in her heart, and took two steps closer: "Yes...is it you?"

Xiao Jingxu looked at Dai Li, then at his mother, and said, "How about I go in the car and wait..."

Before he finished speaking, Dai Li grabbed his sleeve and said in an inaudible voice: "Don't go."

Don't go, at least for now, don't leave me alone.

Xiao Jingxu was stunned. He originally wanted to let the mother and son have a good chat without being disturbed by outsiders, but he didn't expect that Dai Li's hand holding his sleeve was so tight.

The woman straightened the broken hair around her ear, as if she didn't know how to start the scene, both of them were silent for a while.

Dai Li glanced around awkwardly, and then pretended to be relaxed and said, "What a coincidence, you're here too, I just... just passing by..."

The woman didn't know when her eyes were already red, and she lingered on something for a long time before she said, "Xiao Li, you've grown so tall."

It's been a long time since Dai Li, and I haven't heard his mother call him that. The last time I heard it was her mother carrying her luggage and saying to him, "Li Li, I'm leaving and I won't be coming back."

He felt that he was clearly prepared mentally, but at this moment, his throat was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.

Xiao Jingxu spoke at this moment: "Hello, Auntie, I am your son's friend, and my name is Xiao Jingxu."

The woman sniffed and quickly put on a smile: "Hello."

"It may not be good to say these words when we meet for the first time, but I want to tell you that in the few years without you, he has grown into a strong enough and brave enough adult. And he can take good care of his father And brother, even I admire him very much. He has a lot to say to you, if you are not busy, can you take a moment to listen to it?"

When she heard "these years without you", the woman finally couldn't hold back and shed tears.
