drink moonlight alone

After returning to grandma's ward, Zhou Qingyan suddenly realized that there was only his mother sitting in front of grandma's bed facing the door. He looked left and right, and his father was nowhere to be seen.

As if knowing what Zhou Qingyan was thinking, Liang Jinyi raised his head and gave the two of them a friendly smile: "I asked your dad to go back to the hotel first."

Liang Jinyi seldom showed his emotions in front of him. Since he could remember, his mother always had a cold expressionless face, caring or angry, as if she didn't bother to let her raise her eyebrows, so that she was so caught off guard now. Zhou Qingyan's mother's smile made Zhou Qingyan feel a little dazed for a moment.

The relationship between mother and child has become unfamiliar because of not thinking about it for too long. Zhou Qingyan wanted to say something to his mother, but he didn't know what to say. He hesitated so much that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Naturally, She didn't notice that Zhou Weiyue glanced over her peripheral vision unobtrusively.

Zhou Weiyue seemed to be taking the perfect time to rescue him, walked to the hospital bed, held grandma's hand exposed outside the quilt, and asked, "Grandma, are you better?"

Grandma was still unable to speak because of the oxygen mask on her face, her face was pale, and her loose eyelids were weakly opened, but her gaze towards Zhou Qingyan and Zhou Weiyue was as gentle as a gentle breeze, she shook He shook his head, then turned to look at Liang Jinyi, as if signaling something.

"It's nothing serious, but I'm still a little weak and needs to rest in bed." And the mother quickly understood grandma's intentions, even if she didn't look away from grandma, the words she said were directed at Zhou Qingyan and Zhou Weiyue.

Zhou Weiyue nodded knowingly, "Brother and I are worried about you, we need to get well soon, we still have family portraits yet to take."

Hearing this, Zhou Qingyan raised her head subconsciously to look at her mother, unexpectedly Liang Jinyi also raised her head, tucked back the sideburns that had slipped from her ears, and looked back at herself with a somewhat disappointed expression.Zhou Qingyan and Liang Jinyi looked at each other in a daze for a while, then looked away. He couldn't tell what his psychology was, he felt guilty and guilty, and there was more to express his unspeakable gratitude to his mother.

After all, she was the one who made me think deeply at the beginning, and she was the one who made me go back to China to fight for it. In order to let myself live in regret for the rest of my life, I had countless disputes with my father. A mother with love.

When he looked at the hospital bed again, grandma nodded lightly and slowly, her gray hair rubbed against the pillow and made a rustling sound, very much like the reeds planted in the flower garden of the hospital coming from the slightly open window, softly groaned by the wind .

After visiting time, it was only a quarter of an hour after four o'clock in the afternoon when I walked out of the hospital. Zhou Qingyan's steps slowly landed at the end, with Zhou Weiyue's broad back in front of her, and her mother walking in the front .Zhou Qingyan lowered her eyes, thinking whether she should invite her parents to have dinner together, and also thought that her father would be angry when he saw them now, let alone eating peacefully at the same table.

The two thoughts of what should be and what should not be in my mind, I was stunned that there was no winner, but a pair of Cheng Liang's leather shoes appeared in my peripheral vision. The bows on the top were neatly tied, except that the two belts were of different lengths. one.Zhou Qingyan knew it was Zhou Weiyue without thinking too much. He slowed down until he walked forward shoulder to shoulder with him—as if silently saying "I am".

Zhou Qingyan plucked up her courage, took a breath, and was about to call out to her mother at the next moment, Liang Jinyi paused and turned her head back, with a bit of embarrassment between her brows, her thin lips painted with bean paste-colored lip glaze opened and closed, hesitantly After a while, he said, "Shall we have dinner together? Don't talk to your dad, it's just us three mothers and sons."

Originally, Liang Jinyi proposed to eat a well-known Jiangnan restaurant in the town, but it was learned from Zhou Weiyue that the Jiangnan restaurant closed down due to an accidental fire five years ago, and the owner's family of three also moved to a neighboring city. Therefore, when the three of them were worrying about where to eat dinner, Zhou Qingyan only thought for a while before suggesting that they should go back to grandma's house and start a fire.

There is still some leftover chicken and fish in the house, and the vegetables can also be picked fresh from the vegetable garden without any problem. So when Zhou Qingyan was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, there was only her mother left in the living room for a while, and serving for her. Zhou Weiyue who came for hot tea.The two sat facing each other, and the hazy heat rising from the teacup blocked their sight, so that Zhou Weiyue couldn't distinguish her mother's emotions at this moment.If you want him to say, he doesn't actually have much emotion for this nominal mother in front of him, and his memory of her even stays at the age of five.

At that time, Liang Jinyi hadn't grown her long hair yet. Cheng Liang's jet-black short hair was shoulder-length, so neat that there was no extra frills. Just like her, she was rigorous, and she was always objective in her dealings with others, never acting emotionally.But it happened to be such a person. When the director of the orphanage coquettishly introduced some well-behaved, sensible, clever children to her and her father, she saw from the vast crowd that they were skinny and bony at that time, trying to please but couldn't hide their natural innateness. He was so indifferent, he could not even imitate himself with a bright smile.

Then she led her all the way to the home where she lived for the rest of her life, and to Zhou Qingyan's side.

"You've grown up." Liang Jinyi put down the tea cup, and the bottom of the cup touched the wooden table and made a dull "knock" sound.

Zhou Weiyue put on the impeccable polite smile that he had learned since growing up, and nodded calmly, "Thanks to you."

"It's been more than ten years since the last time we talked like this face to face. When you were 15 years old and you graduated from junior high school. I still remember that you were ranked third in the country in the middle school entrance examination that year. I stayed up all night." When Liang Jinyi recalled the past, she couldn't help but feel a little nostalgia between the lines, she lowered her eyes, and her usual tense expression softened a lot.

Zhou Weiyue was a little surprised that she still remembered these trivial things. In his memory, his mother was always busy, and things big and small were not worth mentioning in front of her great experiment, not even Zhou Qingyan, her biological son. Can get the doting that he deserved in childhood, let alone him.

He thought he had already gotten used to it, but now that he was still being remembered, he couldn't help but feel moved.

"How have you been these few years?" Liang Jinyi rubbed his teacup and asked seemingly casually.

Zhou Weiyue smiled and poured her a new cup of tea, "As you can see, it's not bad."

"You are humble. It is already a remarkable thing to have a successful career at your age."

"Mom." Zhou Qingyan put the teapot by her hand, raised her hand unobtrusively, and touched the earrings on her earlobe, "Just speak up if you have something to say, I accept all criticism and abuse, but separation is impossible. "

When Liang Jinyi heard the words, his clear eyes were slightly closed, and he was stunned in astonishment. Obviously, he didn't expect Zhou Weiyue to be so straight to the point.But soon she returned to her usual unfazed appearance, with a faint smile and folded her hands on her knees.

"Why? Why didn't they separate, and why would they rather violate ethics and like their elder brother?" Liang Jinyi asked curiously.

Zhou Weiyue obviously tasted from her tone that it was just pure doubt, and there was no provocation or other disgusting emotions, so Zhou Weiyue said without thinking, "You love father, why do you want to talk about it?"

My own mother is a smart person, so she must know the meaning of his straightforward words without any ambiguity.Sure enough, Liang Jinyi hummed a pleasant laugh from his throat when he heard the words, and the corners of his mouth were also sunken into two circular laugh lines because of the smile.

"Sure enough, you have grown up, matured, resolute and brave." Liang Jinyi raised his eyes, looked behind Zhou Weiyue over Zhou Weiyue, the figure of Zhou Qingyan hidden behind the curtain, listening to the moment when the kitchen knife collided with the chopping board. There was a rhythmic click, "When Qingyan told me that he still likes you and wanted to go back to China and fight for himself, I asked him exactly the same question."

"Just like you, he straightened his back, looked at me with bright eyes and fearlessness, and asked, why do I love your father?"

Liang Jinyi's voice fell on Zhou Weiyue's heart like a heavy hammer. How deep is his brother's love, so deep that he can do countless things in places he doesn't know, make many vows, and go through many ups and downs —and they were able to embrace each other only now.He turned his head and looked at Zhou Qingyan's back. That back was so thin and his body was so weak, but he still bravely took on the love that was not accepted by the secular world.

It turns out that the love in Zhou Qing's cornice is true love, pure and fresh, unbreakable even in the wind and rain.

"Love doesn't talk about gender right or wrong, cause and effect, it only talks about romance and the future." Liang Jinyi said again, "The reason why a person's life is a lifetime is because it belongs to oneself only and has nothing to do with others. Since the choice has drawn his hand, then I hope that no matter whether there is a positive result in the future, you will not be ashamed of your conscience, then I have no objection."

After Zhou Weiyue listened, she showed a sincere smile in relief, and called out the long overdue word: "Mom."

"Thank you."
