Four rooms and one hall diary

It's Christmas in two days.

Recently, the streets are decorated with exquisite decorations such as snowflakes and bells, and Santa Claus distributes small gifts at the entrance of the shopping malls. There are suddenly more students and couples, and there are crowds of people and heavy traffic.Although it is a foreign festival that has nothing to do with Chinese people, everyone still enjoys the festive atmosphere.

The weather was extremely cold, and no matter how thick the clothes were, they could not resist the howling north wind.One day when Xiang Huai and Li Yajun were shopping, they passed by a famous scarf store. The elder brother wanted to buy a scarf for his younger brother. Putting it on Li Yajun's neck, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Isn't this very sunny?"

Grandpa Sunshine!

Li Yajun pulled off the scarf with a dark face: "You don't think red is too eye-catching!"

"How come? You stay in the house all the time, making it so white, and red is just enough to show some joy." Xiang Huai took out his wallet to pay the bill, "—but this is not enough, I will take you to exercise after the spring of next year Body, swimming, mountain climbing, horseback riding, you can choose whatever you want.”

"Who is going?" Li Yajun rolled his eyes, but felt that it would be nice for two people to go out for an outing, so he acquiesced.

Xiang Huai had already figured out Li Yajun's duplicity, smiled and helped him put on the scarf: "Let's go, we don't cook today, let's go to the restaurant."

They walked out of the store side by side to the sound of "thank you for coming".It was evening now, and the sky was a dull gray-blue.The neon lights on the pedestrian street are flashing, pedestrians are chattering and laughing, and all kinds of goods are dazzling in the wide glass wall, which looks prosperous and lively.

Both Xiang Huai and Li Yajun are not people who like to go shopping, but when they secretly hold each other's hands in the bustling crowd, there is a feeling of gratitude spontaneously.

——So many faces and lives are fleeting, but you are the only one I cherish.

A torrent of joy and happiness erupted in an instant, and every beat of the heart seemed to awaken more love.

Turning his head to look at Li Yajun, he found that there seemed to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't want to let himself find out that he kept a straight face on purpose, which was really awkward.

Xiang Huai squeezed Li Yajun's hand, and said in a low voice, "Laugh if you want."

"...what's so funny." Li Yajun's eyes couldn't help but curl up.

"You should laugh when you are happy, and cry when you are sad. This is a normal life."

"……Hahaha."

"Reluctantly, Yajun," Xiang Huai held him tightly, "I thought you would be very happy with me."

Li Yajun remained silent.

... Of course I am happy.

Never have I been happier.

Li Yajun didn't know that he had been betrayed by the unconcealable smile in his eyes long ago, he turned his head to pretend to observe the restaurant on the roadside, but clenched Xiang Huai even more tightly with his fingers.

Coincidentally, the two of them were thinking about what to eat when a newly opened Cantonese restaurant started giving out lottery tickets.Xiang Huailu also got one when he passed by. He scratched it open with the mentality of giving it a try, and it turned out to be the third prize - a [-]% discount on any meal within [-] days!

"Wow, no!" Li Yajun said pleasantly, "No need to wait, eat now!"

There are quite a lot of customers in the restaurant. After all, it has just opened, even if some of them didn't win the lottery, they will come in to have a taste.

While waiting for the food to be served, Li Yajun encountered a certain emergency in the "three urgencies of people", so he hurriedly made gestures and walked towards W.While washing their hands after finishing the work, a man in a suit walked by. The two of them saw each other in the large mirror, and they were both stunned.

—Slightly short, slightly fat, slightly bald.

It turned out...it was Xiang Huai's father!

For a moment, Li Yajun was embarrassed, speechless, and at a loss, and the two just looked at each other in silence, as if they were waiting for the other to speak first.

After all, Xiang Zhengnan was an elder, after a brief moment of stupefaction, he calmed down and greeted him calmly: "Yajun."

Li Yajun gritted his teeth secretly, and wanted to leave, but the person in front of him was Xiang Huai's father after all, he didn't want Xiang Huai to feel that he was uneducated, so he reluctantly called out: "Uncle Xiang."

Xiang Zhengnan nodded, "Are you eating here too?"

"Well."

"one person?"

"No, with Xiang Huai." Li Yajun looked smug when he said this - you don't want to see the young master, but your son does!

Sure enough, Xiang Zhengnan showed a hint of displeasure, but quickly covered it up, "Since we met, let's eat together." Seeing that Li Yajun was about to refuse, he added in time, "——It just so happens that I also have something to ask bosom."

No matter how upset Li Yajun was, he would not arbitrarily deprive others of the right to meet father and son, so he had no choice but to bring Xiang Zhengnan to their table.

Xiang Huai was also surprised when he saw his father, and turned to ask Li Yajun what was going on with his eyes, and Xiang Zhengnan said first: "I happened to meet, anyway, the food is not served here, so go with dad, by the way, you My aunt is here too."

Xiang Huailui pondered for a moment: "Dad, I won't go. We have discount coupons here. I'll go over to say hello to my aunt after dinner." Although the words were polite, they could not be refused.

Xiang Zhengnan didn't insist, he only took a deep look at Li Yajun, and then went back to his private room.

After he left, Li Yajun snorted, "It's a pity that I still consider my bad luck to be lucky..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, and carefully looked at Xiang Huai's face.

——Are you a bit too much?

Anyway, Xiang Huai and Xiang Zhengnan are also close relatives, they have the same blood flowing through them, this kind of thing can't be separated even if it can't be separated.Just like his mother, if he really didn't care about that woman, how could he be indignant because of her abandonment?

This cognition made Li Yajun unhappy for a moment, but fortunately, the food was served soon, and he immediately began to eat hard to cover up his emotions.

Xiang Huai didn't move his chopsticks, just looked at him with his chin propped up, and after a while, he suddenly said, "Yajun, take this opportunity to tell my father about our affairs, okay?"

"Ugh!!" Li Yajun took a mouthful of food stuck in his throat, "Ahem...you, can you stop being so sudden?!"

"Suddenly? Didn't you have this plan long ago?"

"...What if your father doesn't agree?"——It's not just a case, if you think about it with your toes, you will definitely not agree!

"It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. I don't rely on him for support... Don't worry about this matter, just eat with peace of mind." Xiang Huai still smiled gently and tolerantly as always, but Li Yajun clearly read his eyebrows There was a trace of worry.

Sure enough... I can't help but care about the thoughts of my loved ones anyway.

I went to the restaurant in high spirits, but the meal turned out to be extremely depressed, Xiang Huai was in a trance, and finally picked up the chopsticks and ate a few mouthfuls and said he was full, "Yajun, I'll call them Hello, you wait for me here."

"Yes." Li Yajun nodded.

Xiang Huai glanced at him and stood up from the seat, which seemed a little inexplicably heavy.

Li Yajun watched him go farther and farther step by step, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Is it appropriate to put all the pressure on Xiang Huai alone?Obviously...he is also an adult, and he should also do his part for this difficult relationship. Although it may be meager, it is a responsibility after all.

However, it seems that he...has done nothing for Xiang Huai.

Just enjoying the love and dedication of the other party as it should be.

Apart from work, he puts almost all his energy on himself. He cooks the meals, washes the clothes, and organizes the housework. Sometimes he asks him to make a midnight snack when he gets hungry. He doesn't complain at all. , is also responsible for supervising homework, psychological counseling, patient, and temperless-this kind of wholeheartedness, even taking care of a delicate woman, is nothing more than that.

Everyone has a bottom line, one or two days is fine, but if things go on like this, who can stand it?

Have you been too self-willed, thinking that you don't have to worry about anything, you don't have to do anything, and you can get this kind of eternal happiness?

...Why?

No matter how sincere Xiang Huai was to him, he was a human being after all.

As a human being, there will be a day when patience is exhausted.

How selfish is he to use his lover's love so confidently?

Li Yajun leaned on the back of the chair, feeling guilty and panicky in his heart.

Xiang Huai walked into the private room, only to find that not only his father and aunt were sitting there, but also some middle-aged people who were similar to his father's age, and the most eye-catching one was a young girl who was dressed in fashion.

"Hey, why is Xiao Huai here now!" Auntie greeted enthusiastically, "Come here and sit down, tsk tsk, I haven't seen you for so long, but you've become more and more talented. By the way, I heard that you are teaching at a university? Yes, Lao Xiang is really lucky! "

Xiang Huai greeted each of them with a smiling face, and then sat in the only vacant seat.

Auntie patted his arm: "Your dad said you were out with your friends, why didn't you bring your friends over here, and insisted on being so extravagant?"

——This woman who acts a bit aggressively is not Xiang Huai's biological aunt, but a good partner of Xiang Zhengnan in the business field.So Xiang Huai wanted to follow his father's face and put on a good face: "Auntie, I'm really sorry, my friend admits his life, besides, you are eating happily, and we can't interrupt, it's so boring."

"Oh, you kid is really good at making excuses. We like to stay with you young people, so that we don't feel so old!" Auntie smiled brightly, and then looked at the young girl beside her, "Xiao Huai , remember your sister?"

"Of course," Xiang Huai nodded politely at her, "Yunqian is getting more and more beautiful."—Actually, he has only met this girl a few times, and he doesn't have a deep impression on her. It's really rare to be able to remember her name, but on the surface If you can't show it, you have to pretend to be impressed, otherwise it will be embarrassing.So what the Chinese are good at is politeness, and he is not exempt from it.

"Where is that, Brother Xiang Huai is handsome and unrestrained, I almost didn't recognize him when he walked in just now!" The girl shrugged playfully, and she seemed to be a master who could speak well.

The aunt said cheerfully: "You are right in saying that women are not allowed to stay in university. Xiang Huai, we haven't been to L city for a long time. If you have nothing to do later, you can take your sister for a stroll. She has been clamoring for ...Why are you here? Shopping? I really can't use the words of young people..."

Xiang Huai was shocked - he was going to say hello and leave, but now he has delayed for a long time, so why not take another girl out?So she refused without hesitation: "Auntie, I haven't prepared for tomorrow's class, so I won't be able to keep my job if I don't go back."

"That's it... then forget it, work is important." She didn't care, and turned to continue drinking with her friends.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Xiang Huai got up to say goodbye, and stopped Xiang's father's hand holding the wine glass, and stood up with him, "I'll see you off."

His father's eyes were full of deep meaning, Xiang Huai panicked for no reason, before he could utter his refusal, Xiang Zhengnan walked out of the private room first.

Li Yajun waited for more than 20 minutes before seeing Xiang Huai, and then he spotted Xiang Zhengnan behind him, his face froze immediately.

"My dad said he would send us back." Xiang Huai helped him put on the scarf, and patted him on the shoulder comfortingly—it was a habitual action at first, but after doing all this, accidentally touching his father seemed like Xiang Huai suddenly felt guilty from the cold gaze.

Li Yajun snorted, and obediently followed them into Xiang Zhengnan's car.

The atmosphere along the way was weird, Xiang Zhengnan had a stern face and didn't know what he was thinking, Li Yajun naturally wouldn't take the initiative to speak, so Xiang Huai remained silent.

It wasn't until driving into the university town that Xiang Zhengnan said, "You still live there?"

Xiang Huaizheng was about to deny it, but suddenly changed his mind: "Yes."

Li Yajun glanced at him quickly, frowning.

Xiang Huai said again: "Dad, you should send Yajun back to Jianghua Apartment first, and then sit with me for a while, let's talk."

Father Xiang also had something to tell Xiang Huai, and his son's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.

The three of them didn't talk after that.

When Li Yajun got off the car, he felt a little uneasy.

He understood what the father and son were going to talk about, but he didn't want to intervene, even when Xiang Huai gave him a reassuring look, he didn't know how to respond.After Xiangfu drove the car away, several minutes later, Li Yajun walked home slowly and restlessly.
