north wind blows south

Nervous, I haven't been this nervous for a long time.

I was so nervous that my palms were sweating, my head was buzzing like a bee, and my legs wanted to escape uncontrollably.

Shen Ye was holding the gift in one hand and holding Mu Liang in the other.He didn't care, after all, he just took his boyfriend to meet his grandparents, and he wouldn't tell the old man about their relationship.Just say they are good friends, and they can do whatever else they want.

The island is huge, and it takes more than an hour to walk from the south to the north.Asked the neighbor to borrow a small e-Donkey, Mu Liang was holding the gift box in the back seat, and Shen was also responsible for driving.

I chose a main road with few people and cars, and it was close to the sea.The little electric stove donkey is very exciting. It is speeding on the road and brings a gust of wind. The sea roars and the tide ebbs, and the sun rises as usual.They are the protagonists.

"It's so beautiful." Mu Liang sat in the back seat, hugging Shen Ye's waist, with half of his face leaning on his boyfriend's back.He looked at the sparkling sea and couldn't help sighing.

"...Growing up here, I should be very happy."

Shen is also used to this kind of scenery.For him, when he was a child, he looked at the sea that did not belong to him day after day, watched the sun rise and set, and listened to the sound of the waves hitting the beach.

Sometimes he would also draw pictures on those old-fashioned calendars, the ones with the God of Wealth printed on the red cover, which cost two yuan a copy when going to the market.Whatever day is today, just draw which page.The paper is still thin, and a hole was accidentally pierced.

It's the end of the year, and I don't see my parents coming back.Grandma said that Chinese people celebrate New Year's Eve only on New Year's Day.Shen also continued to draw on the newly bought calendar. When it was New Year's Eve, he didn't see his parents coming back.Grandma said that they will come back when the calendar is finished.

Grandma is a liar.They didn't come back until they were in primary school.These beautiful scenery did not bring him happiness.

Shen is also right, there will be fatigue in aesthetics.After Mu Liang looked at it for a while, he felt that the golden reflection on the sea made his eyes uncomfortable.

He hid his face in Shen Ye's back and hugged him tightly.All identities faded away at this moment, the head of the false company, the false family, the false son, he is nothing now.

He is a most ordinary person.He fantasizes that he lives on this small island, runs a few homestays, and earns enough to eat.Live the most leisurely life with the person you love the most.Rise at sunrise and return at sunset every day, watching the sea rise and ebb.

Maybe I can raise a kitten or a puppy in the future.Small animals are also free, and maybe they will bring back new partners after a while.

He has never been a person who likes to chase interests, on the contrary he hates them.Vulgar things like money have wiped out humanity.But he has to chase these things he hates, because only by having these can he be qualified to be himself.

If he wants to get married, he can buy a ticket to fly there anytime and anywhere; if his sexual orientation is not recognized by his family, he can stay away from them.He can hide, but most importantly he has the option to surface.

He needs this kind of freedom, and this kind of freedom will allow him to control his life.More importantly, he wanted Shen Ye to have this freedom with him.

Although it is extremely bumpy, everything can be on the right track.Hope is still in their hands, everything is possible.

nervous?

Still nervous.

Even though this was just a rehearsal, it was still Shen Ye's family who met.And they became a family, Mu Liang was not used to it yet.

"Get out of the car." Shen Ye stopped his little e-donkey, and patted Mu Liang's hand around his waist.

With memories and imaginations in my mind, time flies by very quickly.Just holding Shen Ye's back and sucking violently for 10 minutes, I guess this kid has to think of going elsewhere.

They were still smiling, as usual, holding hands, walking side by side, stepping left foot together and then right foot. A 17-year-old boy, his palms are so warm, as warm as the sun.

"Don't be nervous," Shen Ye said, "My grandparents are very good at speaking, they are very ordinary and hardworking old people."

"I'm always nervous." Mu Liang was really nervous. He wasn't so nervous when he went for an interview when he graduated. "I don't know if they will accept me."

"Don't worry, you will. They can see that you are so good." Shen also comforted him.

Mu Liang nodded.

In front of me is a small Chinese-style retro building, all of which are made of high-quality wood. Because I live by the sea and the weather is humid, in order to prevent the wood from decaying, I have specially done anti-corrosion treatment.At first glance, the cost is not cheap.

The small courtyard is not big or small but it is spotless. The branches of the withered old man stand quietly in the soil, occasionally a few new buds burst out, and a plum tree is planted in the middle. There are also traces left by climbing vines in summer.

It must be a person who loves life very much to have such a beautiful yard even in winter.This is a kind of beauty that is eager to bloom, so that Mu Liang can't move his eyes.

Shen also took Mu Liang's hand, as always.It can be seen that he is also a little nervous, just to prevent Mu Liang from getting more nervous, so he hides it well.

The doorbell rang twice, and an old woman in a dark blue dress stepped out in black flat, round-toed leather shoes.

Before they met each other, Mu Liang privately calculated the age of his grandparents, and no matter how they thought about it, they should be in their 70s.But when he actually saw her, he couldn't see that grandma was 70 years old.

Her hair was still jet-black, and it was only when she walked in that she could see some white strands mixed between her temples.The years had certainly taken their toll on her face, save for a few innocuous wrinkles and cheeks thinned by loss of collagen.

"Here we come." Grandma gently opened the door, and skillfully took the gift from Shen Ye's hand.

Shen also greeted: "Grandma."

"Come in, it's cold outside." Grandma led them in.Although he is an octogenarian, his back is still straight, and he still brings a gust of wind when he walks.

From the beginning to the end, before Shen Ye's introduction, Mu Liang was like an invisible person.He got even more nervous.

The small building is made of mahogany, and there is a large screen hanging in the middle of the entrance. There are two golden dragons on it. Mu Liang recognized them as Double Dragons Playing Pearls.It should be a low-key rich man.

Mu Liang suddenly wanted to laugh.He felt like a rare free love in the era of arranged marriages. When it was time to get married, he was taken home by his partner, and he was not treated by his in-laws at all. He was so pitiful.

Shen Ye leaned into Mu Liang's ear and said, "Don't be nervous, grandma is just a little nervous, she hasn't seen a stranger for a long time."

Mu Liang patted Shen Ye's shoulder, "Well, I know."

Grandma led them to the living room, where the furnishings were purely Chinese.The grand teacher's chair was placed against the wall, and in the background was a huge, aged text that Mu Liang couldn't understand.Along the Taishi chair, two chairs were placed on each side.

"Sit down." Grandma left a sentence, and walked away stepping on her fashionable leather shoes.

Like the old Shanghai ladies, no matter where they live, they are always particular.This temperament will not change no matter where it is.

Shen also sat across from Mu Liang, winking at him.

"What?" Mu Liang frowned following him.

"It's not resemblance, it is." Shen Ye raised his eyebrows.

In short, temperament cannot be hidden.Years of precipitation have created a temperament that can bring wind even when walking.Like the young lady of old Shanghai, or just that.

"My grandma's family used to do foreign trade with foreigners in Shanghai. Later, when I was in college, I met my grandpa. My grandpa came from a small fishing village. He was poor and had nothing. My family didn't agree, so my grandma eloped with him. Already." Shen Ye, who was a storyteller at the bookstall earlier, described it with dancing.

Grandma came out and brought them two cups of tea.

Shen also murmured, "Then, that's it now."

"How is it now?" Grandma spoke in a female voice, with a sense of stability.

Shen also laughed and acted like a baby.

"Now, there is me." After that, he drank the tea in one breath.

Grandma sat on the grand teacher's chair next to Mu Liang, she smiled and looked at her only grandson, "Drink slowly, no one will grab it for you."

Most of Shen Ye's face was blocked by the teacup, he looked at Mu Liang and winked playfully at him.

Mu Liang was so nervous that he could hear his breathing clearly.He couldn't respond to Shen Ye, he was so nervous that his palms were numb.

"Xiao Ye, bring your friends back." Grandma was looking at Shen Ye and talking, while Mu Liang was at a loss, wishing to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"Well, I'm on vacation recently, so I want to bring my friends back to see the place where I grew up when I was a child." Shen also lied to his grandmother very naturally, and when his grandmother's eyes turned to Mu Liang, he would wink at someone.

little bastard.

Grandma smiled kindly, without any burden of majesty, but maybe it was Mu Liang's illusion, he thought it was a kind of alienation disguised as excessive politeness.

"What's your name?" Grandma asked.

It's like coaxing a kindergarten kid, meeting him for the first time, squatting down to the same height as him, and asking him what his name is.

Mu Liang adjusted his glasses, "Mu Liang. Mu is Mu Guiying's Mu, and Liang is the pillar's Liang." He was so nervous that his teeth chattered when he spoke.

Grandma smiled, "It's good, it's good to have a friend who knows everything."

Without wasting too much time on this issue, grandma looked at the clock and said, "The old man should wake up about the same time. Wait for me a while, and I'll go and wake him up."

When he walked upstairs, he patted Shen Ye on the shoulder.

Mu Liang was not relieved until the creaking sound of stepping on the wooden stairs stopped.Shen also hurried over to hug him, and patted his back to comfort him.

"Why are you nervous, she doesn't know how to eat people." After speaking, she rubbed Mu Liang's ears with her temples.

Mu Liang hugged Shen Ye back, "I'm not nervous, I just feel guilty. It's like abducting their good grandson."

"Nonsense. If you want to kidnap, I should be the one who kidnaps you."

I really love you so much.Don't think too much, I will always be with you.
