In the evening, he took the thermos bucket to the hospital to deliver porridge.

The so-called "mother-in-law" is not actually his relatives.

Granny Zhou was their family's former nanny. She brought him up and took care of his daily life for more than ten years. When he was in high school, he quit his job and went home to recuperate because of his poor health.

Parents are very grateful to Granny Zhou, and Wen Jingyao also treats her as his own grandmother, and even now visits her from time to time.

Granny Zhou lost her wife very early. She only had an only daughter married to a foreigner. She lived in the UK for a long time and went home twice a year.The mother-in-law refuses to leave the hometown where she was born and raised, and she still lives alone, and the neighbors take care of each other in everything.

In the early morning, Wen Jingyao received a call from Zhou's neighbor, saying that her mother-in-law would not be sent to the hospital because of a high fever, so she immediately got up from the bed and hurried to the hospital.

Carrying the porridge and pushing open the door of the ward, Granny Zhou had just finished hanging the water and was leaning on the bedside talking to some old neighbors who came to visit her.With someone accompanying her, her complexion looked better, but her voice sounded weak.

"Jing Yao, come in quickly."

Because Wen Jingyao often visited her home, Granny Zhou's neighbors all knew him, and when they saw him, they praised the child for being handsome, intelligent, affectionate and righteous... In short, I used all the praise words I could use. .Wen Jingyao didn't know how to respond to the elders' praise, so he could only sit silently.

The guests didn't want to make Granny Zhou too tired, so she got up and left after sitting for a long time.Granny Zhou took a sip of the porridge with white fungus and lotus seeds brought by Wen Jingyao, and asked lovingly, "Did you buy this porridge?"

"No... did it."

"Did you do it?" Of course Granny Zhou knew it couldn't be Wen Jingyao's work, "Who did it?"

"The person who lives with me."

"It's very well done...it's smooth and soft, and the heat is perfect." Granny Zhou scooped up a spoonful and savored it carefully, "He's a capable child."

Wen Jingyao nodded in agreement.

Naturally, he didn't know what the other party was thinking at this time.

Granny Zhou heard that he moved out to live alone, and she was a little worried. She was worried that the child would eat unhealthy junk food all day long if he didn't know how to cook, but every time she saw Wen Jingyao recently, she felt that he looked good and energetic It's also very good, and I've gained some weight than before, so I feel relieved.

"Is the person who lives with you your classmate?"

"He is from the Chinese Department of our school. He is in the same grade as me. His name is Fu Lin." Wen Jingyao briefly explained to the elders, "He is good at cooking, and he usually does most of the housework... He is also very good to me."

Wen Jingyao's original intention was to tell his elders that his roommate is a good person so there is no need to worry about his life, but when Granny Zhou heard her words, it changed completely.

From "I have a good roommate" to "I have a good wife."

Granny Zhou thought, the Chinese department, who can cook, is hardworking and capable, is she a girl?Called Fu Lin? ... No wonder this kid had to move out of the dormitory last year, did he have a girlfriend...

Wen Jingyao was a bit of a communication barrier. Granny Zhou thought that he would not fall in love too early, but this child actually became enlightened before she knew it, and moved in together very quickly?

The more Granny Zhou thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't help but want to ask more about the girl's personal situation, which could be considered as a way to help his parents find out: "The surname Fu is not common, where is she from?"

"From city y."

"Okay, city y is a good place, it's not far from us."

If they were in an English context, it would be absolutely impossible for them to have such misunderstandings, but now it is "he" and "she" in Chinese with no distinction between pronunciations, which makes Granny Zhou completely misunderstand...

It was late when Wen Jingyao got home, and Fu Lin was still up, tinkering with his plants in the living room.

"Sorry for making such a mess in the living room, just wait a while, I will clean it up."

"What are you doing?" Wen Jingyao looked down at the plants with exposed roots on the ground.

"Change the pots for the succulents. When they grow, the previous nests can no longer fit. And the ones that just arrived home today have to change pots too."

Fu Lin pointed to the one closest to him.

It was a chubby, fluffy, cute plant that looked like a bear's paw.

Wen Jingyao squatted and observed for a while, and couldn't help rubbing the white fluff with his fingers.

"It's called Xiong Tongzi, it looks very cute."

"……Um."

"Can you put them both in the living room and on the balcony? My room doesn't have enough light."

"it is good."

"Or if you like it, put it in your room?" Fu Lin smiled, "I'll feel better if it's a little green."

"I bought cactus before, but I couldn't keep them alive."

"With me here, I'm not afraid that I won't be able to feed the bear child."

Wen Jingyao nodded: "Do you like succulents?"

"Well, because it looks delicious."

"..."

Wen Jingyao wanted to help, but he was afraid that he would damage the delicate roots if he didn't know anything, so he could only help Fu Lin mix the soil and spray the medicine.

The two of them worked until midnight and finally finished their work.

Wen Jingyao took Xiong Tongzi back to his room and watched it under the light for a long time.

I used to think that Fu Lin is as soft and harmless as succulents, but now it seems that it is not the case.Fu Lin's attitude towards him was no longer cautious as before, it was a little less polite and more casual.

Wen Jingyao didn't know the situation of the clothes next door at all, and naturally he didn't know Ling Guang in the past. Hearing Wu Zhuofan say that Ling Guang was a willful and strong person, it seemed difficult to connect with the Fu Lin he knew.

Which side is the outside and which side is the inside?

Who knows.

A few days later, Granny Zhou was discharged from the hospital, but her body was still very weak. Wen Jingyao was worried, and would visit her every night and bring the meals prepared by Fu Lin.

Granny Zhou ate a lot of food made by Fu Lin without seeing her. The dishes were nutritious and easy to digest, and the dishes were not heavy.Granny Zhou also became more and more fond of this mysterious and virtuous "Fu Lin", and often turned around to inquire about "little girlfriend".

In the case of completely inverting the gender, is there really nothing awkward to talk about?Not really, but Wen Jingyao is particularly slow (or honest?) in this regard. Even if Granny Zhou asked when the two of them decided to live together, Wen Jingyao would only understand "cohabitation" as "living together" and answer frankly : "When we met for the first time, we decided to live together because of the closeness of our eyes."

...This kind of answer is obviously more likely to create a god-like misunderstanding.

Then one day Granny Zhou said, "When will you bring Linlin over to show me? I want to thank her face to face after eating what she made for so long."

"Linlin?" Wen Jingyao was shocked by this title.

On second thought, it's actually... quite cute.

"Jing Yao, it's not easy to find someone who treats you sincerely, you must cherish it." Granny Zhou said earnestly.

Although she felt that this sentence appeared a bit abrupt here, Wen Jingyao agreed to her request.

After returning home, he told Fu Lin, "My mother-in-law wants to see you."

"……what?"

"She wants to thank you personally."

"Thank you, it's just a little effort."

Fu Lin thought it was unnecessary, but after thinking about it, maybe the old man just wanted to talk to more people, so he agreed.

On the weekend, Fu Lin went to Granny Zhou's house with Wen Jingyao.Wen Jingyao said that there is no need to bring anything, but Fu Lin always felt that it was not good to be empty-handed, so he finally ran to buy a bunch of flowers.

As soon as the doorbell rang, Granny Zhou came to open the door.

"Mother-in-law."

"Hey--"

The wrinkled and joyful face suddenly froze when he saw Fu Lin beside Wen Jingyao clearly.

"Jing Yao...is this...?"

Wen Jingyao thought this question was strange, and asked him to come with Fu Lin. Of course, the person next to him was Fu Lin. Why was her mother-in-law so surprised?

"He is my roommate Fu Lin."

"Grandma, hello."

The person in front of him has a warm smile and handsome facial features, no matter how you look at it, he is an out-and-out boy.

yes……

A "virtuous" boy.

The person living with Jing Yao is just an ordinary roommate, not a girlfriend.

Granny Zhou couldn't hide her disappointment on her face, but the disappointment was only for a short moment—recall that Jing Yao never said that "Fu Lin" was a girl, and all of this was a misunderstanding caused by thinking too much. What about?What's more, Fu Lin looks well-behaved and polite. It's not a bad thing for Jing Yao to make friends with this kind of child.

It didn't take long for Granny Zhou to let go.Fu Lin has a special skill to please the elders. He is especially good at talking with his mouth, and he quickly coaxes her to be happy, making her think that it would be great if she had such a grandson... how can she have the heart to regret it? The "girlfriend" thing.

Fu Lin quickly recognized Granny Zhou as the old lady in the family portrait in Wen Jingyao's room, and at first he thought she was Wen Jingyao's grandmother.After chatting, I realized that they were not related by blood.

He was very moved that the family could establish a deep relationship with an outsider that blood is thicker than water.Taking advantage of Wen Jingyao's time to cut fruit in the kitchen, Fu Lin asked Granny Zhou about Wen Jingyao's childhood.

Granny Zhou said that Jingyao's parents were very strict with him. Since he was a child, he rarely had time to play outside, and he was locked in his room to study all day long.The reason why this kind of personality is formed is because I am used to being alone for a long time, and after a long time, I don't even feel that there is anything wrong with being alone.

Granny Zhou sighed again: "He is a child... If there are any unhappy things, such as conflicts with classmates, they are buried silently in her heart and never say it to make me worry. When there are good things, such as He won’t tell me what prize he won in the first competition in the exam, because in his eyes, this is what he should do. I was quite surprised when he took the initiative to mention your name before, after all, he has never been with me before. I mentioned friends other than Zhuofan in front of me. He told me that you made this porridge, and that your name is Fu Lin. You are a very nice person and take special care of him..."

Fu Lin glanced in the direction of the kitchen in surprise, with a little sweetness in his heart.

"You must be very independent. There are too few hardworking children like you now."

"No way, my dad is very busy at work, and I am often the only one at home alone."

"What about your mother?"

"My mum and dad divorced after I was born and I never saw her or even knew where she was."

"Oh...it's not easy for you." Granny Zhou sighed, her tone of pity, "From now on, you should come with Jingyao and talk to my old lady. When you feel better, Granny will make some snacks for you. "

"Thank you mother-in-law."

Wen Jingyao was coming out of the kitchen with the peeled fruit, and he was taken aback when he heard their conversation.He still doesn't know that Fu Lin has no mother.

"When you live together, there will inevitably be some friction. This kid Jing Yao is ignorant and stupid, so I need to trouble you to take care of him."

"We have never had any conflicts. Jing Yao and I get along very well. Don't worry, mother-in-law."

Wen Jingyao: "..."

What did he just call himself?Jing Yao?

"Eat fruit."

Wen Jingyao interrupted their conversation, and gently placed the fruit plate on the small table in front of them.

Fu Lin and Granny Zhou each picked up an apple that Wen Jingyao had chipped so pitted like the surface of the moon, looked at each other, and burst out laughing at the same time.

Wen Jingyao: "..."

In an instant, there was an illusion that there were two elders sitting in front of him.

The street lamp downstairs at the mother-in-law's house was broken, and the way back was a bit dark.

Fu Lin turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and walked briskly ahead.Wen Jingyao followed unhurriedly.

"What did you call me in front of mother-in-law just now?"

"Jingyao?" Fu Lin turned his head and smiled at him, "Unknowingly, I called you after the old man... Sorry, if you don't like it, I'll call you by your first name in the future."

"..."

The two walked quietly for a while, when Wen Jingyao suddenly let out a cry...

"Linlin."

"..."

Fu Lin staggered and almost hit a car parked on the side of the road.

"Well, that's it."

"Varied……!?"

Wen Jingyao stopped talking, and kept a deep and paralyzed face.

Fu Lin simply lowered his head and continued to walk forward without saying a word.Fortunately, it was dark enough that no one could see the roots of his red ears.

A nickname that no one has called for many years is suddenly called out by someone he likes...

Holy crap, it was so impactful.
