as always

When she came to the apartment and opened the door, Mother Cheng looked around.

The place Cheng Lin lived in wasn't very big, but it was very clean. Everything was well arranged, and it didn't look like a place where boys lived.

Nodding her head, Cheng's mother took the bag Cheng Lin put on the table into the kitchen and saw that there were all pots and pans, she was relieved but also felt a little strange.

"Phosphorus, you go take a shower first." Yu Yange said as he put the change of clothes in Cheng Phosphorus' hands.

"You wash first." Cheng Lin shook his head slightly as he watched his mother busy in the kitchen.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Yu Yange stroked Cheng Pho's wet hair lovingly, and looked at him firmly and gently.

Seeing his eyes, Cheng Lin dispelled the uneasiness in his heart a little, then took the clothes and walked to the bathroom.

Looking back, Yu Yange took a deep breath, then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.

"Auntie, let me help you."

Seeing Yu Yange's hearty smile, and seeing that the big boy was calmer than before, Mother Cheng couldn't help sighing: "Yange and Xiaolin have known each other for several years, right?"

Yu Yange was taken aback. He had something on his mind, and he didn't know what Cheng's mother meant by asking such a question.The two of them hadn't been too intimate at the station just now, so Mother Cheng probably wouldn't have guessed in that direction.

Cheng Lin's family is a bit special, so before he nodded, Yu Yange would not speak out about the relationship between the two of them, especially if the other party was his mother.Before he had time to think about it, he had no choice but to answer honestly: "Seven years."

Mother Cheng nodded, but she couldn't see what she was thinking, her eyes fell on the frying pan, and Mother Cheng said something about the past that Cheng Lin never told Yu Yange.

"Since Xiaolin's father passed away, I was focused on making money to support the family, and paid little attention to his growth. Now that I think about it, I'm really not a qualified mother. Even three meals a day seem to have completed the task. I usually prepare it for him, but rarely eat with him.”

"Xiao Lin has always been very sensible, and never asked me about some children's requests. After returning home from school, he didn't go out to play like other children. He would just quietly help me look after the house and wait for me to come back. Sometimes when I came back late, I would see him sitting on a small stool, leaning against the door and falling asleep. Maybe it was from that time that Xiao Lin, who was born prematurely by me for a month, became weaker and could not move at all. You have a high fever."

Yu Yange had been listening quietly the whole time, and it hurt to hear this.In high school, he was a regular student and went home every day, so he didn't know that Cheng Lin often had a fever at night.But now he has lived with Cheng Lin for more than a year, but he has never seen Cheng Lin have a fever.

"I saw Xiao Lin a few times recently, and found that his complexion is much better than before." Speaking of this, Cheng's mother glanced at Yu Yange, who was skillfully washing vegetables, and said with a smile, "You two live together, look It is your responsibility to come here to cook."

Yu Yange also laughed, "Xiao Lin can't help in cooking except to make trouble, and it's not a problem to eat outside food every day, so I tried to make it, and I can barely eat it. But Like the duck my aunt brought over today, I don’t know how to make it at all. Otherwise, I can let my aunt try my handicraft and give me pointers by the way.”

Mother Cheng was cutting the duck with a kitchen knife at this time, and she laughed when she heard the words, revealing the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes: "These ducks are also learned, and you can't cut them randomly. You have to stand up the duck like this, hold the duck's feet, Cut along the spine, of course, the duck must be boiled first, otherwise the cut will not be good."

When Cheng Lin came out, what he saw was the moment when his mother swung the kitchen knife at the duck.But from Cheng Lin's point of view, it looked like Cheng's mother was waving a kitchen knife at Yu Yange.He immediately remembered the dream he had, his face turned pale, and he rushed over like crazy.

"Mom, it's all my fault, don't hurt Yu Yange."

Cheng's mother and Yu Yange were taken aback by Cheng Lin, and looked at Cheng Lin who was standing between them in surprise, unable to understand what was going on for a while.

Cheng Lin also saw the duck on the chopping board at this time, and immediately realized that he had misunderstood, and was a little relieved at the moment, and then suddenly thought that what he just said might be a little bit bad.

"Xiao Lin is ready to wash, Yan Ge, then you should wash it quickly, or you will catch a cold and you will be ill." Cheng's mother looked at Cheng Lin, who was still pale, and looked at Yu as if she hadn't heard the words just now. Yan Ge said.

"Auntie, I'm fine, I..."

"You go take a bath." Cheng Lin also came back to his senses. Although his face was still pale, at least his expression had barely returned to his usual indifference. He interrupted Yu Yange and pushed him.

"Phosphorus..." Yu Yange grabbed Cheng Lin's arm unconsciously, and looked at him with some concern. For some reason, his heart began to jump suddenly, as if someone was beating his heart, which was very uncomfortable.

"Go." Cheng Lin didn't look at him, but urged again.

Yu Yange sighed, greeted Cheng's mother, and walked into the bathroom.At this time, only Cheng Lin and his mother were left in the kitchen.

Cheng's mother took a look at Cheng Lin, and continued to turn around to cut the duck. The kitchen knife made a slightly dull sound when cutting the duck.Cheng Lin stood aside quietly without saying a word.

"You go home next Saturday." Mother Cheng put the sliced ​​duck meat on a plate, turned on the tap and washed her greasy hands, "That day is your father's death day."

Cheng Lin suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes.It took a long time before he said "good", but even he was shocked, his voice would be so hoarse sometimes.

When Yan Ge came out of the bathroom, Cheng Lin was the only one in the room.

"Phosphorus, where's Auntie?" Yu Yange asked cautiously.

"She's gone back." Cheng Lin raised his head and looked at Yu Yange, his eyes were clear and cold with a hint of melancholy.

He walked up to Yu Yange and hugged Yu Yange very rarely, leaned on him gently, and said quietly: "My mother should already know about our relationship."

Yu Yange's heart missed a beat, and he hugged Cheng Lin tightly, a little afraid of what Cheng Lin would say next.

Sure enough, not long after, Cheng Lin's cold voice sounded in his ears: "I'm going back next Saturday, my father's death day is here."

"I go with you."

"You can't go," Cheng Lin shook his head, and tightly hugged Yu Yange's hands, "With my mother's temper, you can't solve any problems if you go." Cheng Lin buried his head in Yu Yan On Ge's shoulder, he said sullenly, "Just wait for me at home."

Yu Yange was slightly taken aback, and soon realized that the home Cheng Lin was talking about was here, not his three-story building in the countryside.Yu Yange's heart felt as if he had knocked over the five-flavored bottle. The sour one was his distress for Cheng Lin, the sweet one was because Cheng Lin regarded this small space as their home, and the bitter one was his powerlessness towards himself. .

Hugging Cheng Lin tightly, it was a long time before Yu Yange let out a "huh".
