Chapter 27 Boundaries

Qian Zhongshu wrote in "The Besieged City" that Fang Hongjian and Sun Roujia's days in Guilin were "so happy that they didn't look like people living their lives, but that they seemed to have slipped past the two of them".

Chi Yun was deeply impressed by this sentence. Firstly, he felt that the metaphor was novel and interesting. Second, he felt that the happiness mentioned in this sentence was not purely pure happiness, but a kind of happiness that was lost with regret. .

He didn't expect that the first meeting with Ye Wangning's parents would come so soon.

At a breakfast table that couldn't be more ordinary, no different from usual, Ye Wangning suddenly asked: "My parents will come to Yecheng tomorrow, do you want to see them?"

A few days ago, Chi Yun and Yu Weiran, who came back, made an appointment for dinner tomorrow, and before he had time to tell Ye Wangning, the point was obviously not a matter of time crashing, he choked on the unswallowed almond milk, and after a while Only then hesitantly asked: "Have you talked to them?"

"Say it," Ye Wangning said calmly, "They don't object."

His tone was calm and relaxed as if he was saying: I ate an extra tea egg today.

Chi Yun poked the oatmeal in the bowl, obviously not as relaxed as Ye Wangning, and he didn't expect it, but he still said "yes".

In fact, he only regarded Ye Wangning's casual interrogative sentence that night as an episode.Coming out of the closet is not an easy task. Chi Yun's confidence is firstly based on his desire to give Ye Wangning enough sense of security, and secondly based on Zhao Jiayin's enlightened understanding.

But just like the units on both sides of the equal sign are different, such an equal relationship cannot be established, Chi Yun can't have the same confidence in Ye Wangning's parents.

Chi Yun called Yu Weiran on the same day and asked if he could change the time. He explained that he had an important meeting tomorrow, but Yu Weiran didn't mind much. He just said, "But are you sure you want to change it to the day after tomorrow? The day after tomorrow is not a studio. When is the party?"

"Otherwise, why don't you come to the party too?" Yu Weiran reminded him, "You haven't been here for two years, and Wen Xiao asked me about you last time."

Chi Yun had long forgotten who Wen Xiao Yu Weiran was talking about.When he was in high school, his character was more restrained than now. Yu Weiran was the only one who could barely talk about it. He and the rest of the studio were limited to meet and say hello. Can not remember.

Every winter and summer vacation in the studio, people spontaneously hold parties, and this year is no exception.

The wechat group is full of messages every day, and Chi Yun has blocked it long ago, so of course he will not know about the party.He vaguely declined: "Then why don't you see you next week when you're free?"

"I won't be free next week," Yu Weiran said, "You think I'm you, and I still have time to spend with my boyfriend, okay?"

Chi Yun vaguely remembered that Yu Weiran had complained to him about his new boyfriend on WeChat not long ago, but for some reason, they suddenly became gluey again.

He couldn't stand the persuasion of the other party's eloquence, so he had no choice but to accept Yu Weiran's invitation to meet at the party.

After hanging up the phone, Chi Yun leaned her head on the back of the chair, unable to explain clearly in her heart, leaving only an unknown sense of loss.

Ye Wangning's parents came to Yecheng on Friday, and they met at a private restaurant that specializes in Shanghai cuisine at six o'clock in the evening.

Chi Yun and Ye Wangning arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time, and he was still fidgeting while clutching the tablecloth.Even Ye Wangning was affected by this nervousness, and he rarely showed a smile: "Relax, they dare not eat you."

Of course it's not possible, but Chi Yun always wants this meeting to end successfully, even more successfully.He always felt that if the speed was 0.5 times before dating Ye Wangning, then it would be 2 times the speed and 3 times the speed after the relationship. Being together, coming out of the closet, meeting parents, this process that would take years for others to complete, when it comes to him and Ye Wangning, He made a posture of spinning his heels.

Invisibly, a hand pushed Chi Yun into the water, but he was the one who started to promote the double-speed development, so he couldn't complain.

Half an hour later, Ye Wangning's parents arrived at the restaurant on time.

Different from Chi Yun's imagination, both Ye Wangning's father and mother are gentle and kind people.

Compared with Ye Wangning's mother, Ye Wangning's father is more similar to him in that he is taciturn, while Ye Wangning's mother loves to laugh and is good at talking.

"I've been hearing Wang Ning mentioning you. When we came to Yecheng this time, we just wanted to have a meal with you. I don't know if it was too sudden." Ye Wang Ning's mother spoke unhurriedly, like a rice cake. It's sticky and waxy, with a soft tone unique to Shanghainese.

Chi Yun was both embarrassed and flattered, and quickly said: "Nothing."

Just then the waiter knocked on the door and asked if he wanted to order food, Chi Yun signaled the waiter to pass the menu to Father Ye and Mother Ye.

Mother Ye smiled and happily took it.

She ordered a few signature local dishes, and then passed the menu to Chi Yun.

Chi Yun took it in a hurry, flipped through it, read the names of some dishes to Ye Wangning in a low voice, and ordered a few symbolically, before returning the menu to the waiter.

The waiter repeated the order list and confirmed that it was correct. Just as he was about to exit the door, Chi Yun suddenly remembered something and stopped him.

"Don't put coriander, celery, minced garlic," Chi Yun said while searching in memory, "and chopped green onion, don't put it either."

Ye Wangning didn't like the things he said, it was very troublesome.Through this period of getting along, he has already figured out what Ye Wangning likes and dislikes.

The series of requests obviously made the waiter a little bit difficult, but he still complied.As soon as the door was closed, Mother Ye laughed first: "Xiao Chi doesn't like these condiments?"

Chi Yun's first reaction was that Mother Ye felt that he was too troublesome, and she wanted to explain but didn't know where to start. In the moment of hesitation, he tilted his head, and saw Ye Wangning slightly wrinkled slightly from the corner of his eye. Frowning, he cast a dark and unclear look at Mother Ye.

Mother Ye immediately answered: "It's the same as Wang Ning in our family."

Chi Yun raised her eyes and met Ye Mu's smiling eyes.

"Yeah." He forced a smile without further explanation.

The atmosphere of the meal was harmonious and harmonious. Although Father Ye was reticent, he was easy-going and could add a sentence or two to some topics.

Ye Mu spent most of her time chatting with Chi Yun, and occasionally brought up some interesting things about Ye Wangning when she was a child.Even if he occasionally asked Chi Yun a few words, he was stuck on a subtle boundary, not too out of the ordinary, and not too out of bounds.

Like a well-rehearsed drama, the actors, lights and audience are in their positions, and there is no mistake.

After dinner, Ye's father and Ye's mother said goodbye to them and prepared to go back to the hotel to rest.They will fly back tomorrow morning, and for convenience, they have booked a hotel near the airport.

Ye Wangning came by car, and Chi Yun offered to take Ye's father and mother back to the hotel, but Ye's mother politely declined: "It's so late, it's so inconvenient for you to go back and forth, we will take a taxi back to the hotel." good."

Chi Yun didn't want to force it, so she went back and forth with Ye Mu and said a few polite words before giving up.

"Go to the car first," Ye Wangning held Chi Yun's shoulders in a cool night, and whispered to him, "I'll come over after a few words with them."

Chi Yun realized later that throughout the night, Ye Wangning called his parents "they". He suddenly felt that Ye Wangning's arm on his shoulder seemed to weigh a thousand catties, making him almost out of breath. .

He nodded, and walked towards the parking lot as if fleeing.

The parking place is not at the entrance of the restaurant, but it is not far away, only more than 100 meters away.

Chi Yun found the car by the sound of the key being turned on. He was about to open the door and get in the car when he turned his head, but saw Ye Wangning talking to Ye Father and Ye Mother not far away.

Ye Wangning stood up straight, with an indifferent and calm expression on his face.As for Father Ye and Mother Ye, standing opposite him, the smile when Chi Yun left just now was gone, replaced by an indescribable cautiousness.

Not like parents treat their children, but like employees treat their bosses.

Chi Yun looked at it for a few seconds, then looked away before Ye Wangning looked over.
