Fate replacement

When I woke up in the morning, Yu Mu was no longer in bed, the windows and curtains were wide open, a gust of breeze blew into the room from the window, and the morning sun danced vigorously in the room... The pink room was even brighter at this time. appear clear.

"I don't want to stay any longer at all...this room." I was a little bit surprised, who could design such a weird room, even couples would find it unbearable?

Halfway through his thoughts, the door was suddenly opened, "Huh, are you awake? I wanted to say that it doesn't matter if I let you go to bed later." Yu Mu scratched his cheeks, a little at a loss.

I picked up the phone beside me and turned it on, it showed nine o'clock in the morning

"It's nine o'clock, it's already very late." Although it's this time when I usually work, it seems too late for a relatively rural place like G City, "Well, is it..." Hearing Yu Mu With such an answer, maybe he doesn't have to get up very early at work like himself?

I stood up and packed my things, "Let's go, I'll see you off." He shrugged and didn't say anything to the time. He didn't say a word about what happened last night. Maybe it's a kind of thoughtfulness, but I'm still very grateful Yes, because if he asked, I would definitely not know how to face it.

"..." Followed him out of the room without saying anything, if he refused, he would still insist on sending it. "You go to the car first." He handed me the keys, went to check out and told me to wait for him in the car first, I was suddenly a little curious, if I just drove his car and ran away, somewhere What should he do if he sells the car?

While thinking wildly, he also got into the car, he took the car key in my hand and started the car, "Where is your home...?" I came back to my senses following his question, and told him a series of addresses, He followed the address and asked people again and again to come to my house. He didn't go home for so long that his memory was blurred, but he only remembered the string of addresses, which he would never forget.

Thinking about it this way, I feel a little ashamed, I can't even remember the way home──

"What are you doing?" Seeing Yu Mu unbuttoning his seat belt and preparing to get out of the car, he frowned and asked. "Huh? Let me go in with you. You've already come in with me, aren't you each other?" Seeing his serious expression, I didn't think it was a good thing at all, "No, I'm very grateful that you sent me here It’s gone.” Not to mention he was the one who gave me the courage to decide to come back.

"Well, but I went back first, how are you going to go back...? And I feel very lucky to know you. You gave me the courage to face my grandmother. I am very grateful to you." His smile was a bit bitter, But the brilliance in the eyes is something that people can't ignore. Before they could say a few words of rejection, someone came out of the house, "Xiaoqing!" I know, it's my sister.

"Sister..." I lowered my head and couldn't look directly at her, but Yu Mu who was behind me gently pushed me and said softly, "Go." I didn't know what kind of reaction I should make.

"You're finally back..." My sister strode forward and hugged me vigorously.

"My mother and I miss you so much, you bastard... You left without a word after that day. I haven't called home once in the past few years. I'm almost worried to death!" My sister's voice was a little choked, and I His throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't make any sound, "Go ahead." Yu Mu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled lightly, and his voice was soft but accurate, "Yes, Come in!" My sister let go of me, took my hand and hurriedly brought it in, but stopped and looked at Yu Mu when I walked halfway, "You come in too!" I looked back at Yu Mu, It seems that he originally planned to return to the car and wait for me.

"Ah no..." He looked at me hesitantly, and was interrupted by me before he finished speaking, "Come in." I don't know what the expression on my face is, but it shouldn't be too ugly.

Entering the long-lost home, the breath of nostalgia is oncoming, and the many memories here are like trapped animals that have escaped from the cage, and they keep coming.

Trembling, I followed my sister to the living room. I was a little dazed by my mother's old face. She was really different from her now a few years ago.

"Mom..." I bit my lower lip and forced myself to look directly at my mother's face, and my mother also looked at me directly, and said to me, "Just come back." Tears burst out of my eyes unconsciously, the last line of defense The embankment broke so easily, I knelt down on the ground and murmured the three words "I'm sorry" indistinctly.

"Hana!" Yu Mu was a little scared when she saw me like this, so she hurried to help me. The sister who ran to the kitchen to pour tea saw this scene as soon as she returned to the living room. She also quickly put down the tea and came to help me. For them I can't give anything back for her tenderness. I don't know whether I like men or women now, and I don't know whether I can get out of Ruoyu's shadow, but they still care about me so much.

It's good to be back──"I'm back." Gently pushing away the support of Yu Mu and my sister, I wiped the tears from my face and said to my mother's worried face.

After calming down, everyone sat down, "Mom, I──" before she could say anything, she was interrupted by her mother. Her weak voice echoed softly in the small living room, "After you leave, we all I thought a lot, and spent some time to let go of it. It’s fine if you like the same sex, as long as you are happy. But before I could tell you, you disappeared from our surroundings. We haven’t contacted for so many years, and there is not a day when we are not looking for you You, now you are back. How are you doing?... Are you happy?" My mother gently caressed my face, and hearing her words, tears welled up again, and once again burst into embankment, "He was at that time Is it the person you don’t want to reveal, the one you love so much?” He pointed at Yu Mu, and when I was about to deny it, Yu Mu spoke first, “Yes, I’m sorry it took so long to come home with Xiaoqing . " My eye sockets are still a little blurry, but I still stare at Yu Mu with wide eyes.

What is he, what is he talking about? Before he came to refute and ask him, he whispered in my ear, "Are you going to say that you are not happy now?" Yes, can I tell? ?

At the beginning, I left home on my own will, just to be with him, but now I broke up with him and had a nightmare for a year. Is this still called happiness?Being treated as a substitute and dating for six years, he kissed me and had sex with me, but what he saw in me was never me, but Xu Zhi. Is this still called happiness?

"Really, you have to treat our Xiaoqing well, and you won't be spared if you bully him!" My sister threatened Yu Mu with a smile. The scene is actually very funny, which made me laugh unconsciously.

"Have you had breakfast?" Seeing my smile, my mother became more relaxed. It must be because I have been crying since just now, right? "Not yet, we came directly from the hotel after we woke up." Yu Mudai I replied, probably because I just cried and my throat didn't feel good.

"There are still some dishes on the stove, let's eat." My mother was about to move, but I stopped her, "Mom, let me come." With a slight smile, I said this to my mother.

Followed the memory to the kitchen, brought the food to the living room after heating, and gobbled it up with Yu Mu.

"Mom, I'm going back to city B tomorrow. Are you sure you won't move there with me? Xiaoqing is back." My sister looked at her mother worriedly. I don't think my sister has a job elsewhere. Unexpectedly, my mother is in her fifties and almost sixty, and the pain caused by excessive fatigue in the past can't be cured until now. She is really worried about living alone.

"You were waiting for him before, but now──" Did mother wait for me to come back?Biting my lower lip, I was at a loss. If I never had the courage to come back, would my mother live here alone and wait for me? "But...well, I know you're worried about me too, so I'll let you go." Mother looked around the living room. She had stayed in this house for most of her life, and she was still very reluctant to move out suddenly.

"It's good that you're back, Xiaoqing... Otherwise, I'm really worried about Mom. She has been reluctant to move out of here, but I still have to work and have children at home, so I really can't let Mom go." The sister breathed a sigh of relief Speaking to me, the guilt suddenly deepened.

In these years, my sister not only got married, but also had a family with her lover, but she had to take care of so much. I didn’t attend her wedding, and I didn’t bless her. In many ways, I really It sucks.

After eating and cleaning up, my sister and mother went to pack up some necessary things together, leaving Yu Mu and me alone in the living room.

Looking at Yu Mu, a kind of embarrassment spread between each other, "Uh, I'm sorry I did it again..." He scratched his cheek, a little embarrassed.I took a deep breath, waved my hand and said it was okay, "If I really say that I am unhappy, it will hurt them the most... Thank you." If it was only me, maybe I would just cry there, no matter what I said Unable to speak.

"Uh, it's embarrassing." He scratched his cheek again, feeling a little overwhelmed.Evoked a shallow smile, looked at his embarrassment and smiled, "Exchange the phone number, it will be very troublesome if your lie is exposed accidentally." Take out the phone and slide open the protection lock, "Ah ok " Quickly exchanged mobile phone numbers before my mother and sister returned to the living room. Although it was just in case, it is best not to use it forever.

Before I could talk to him alone, my mother and sister walked out of the room. I was a little surprised at the speed of packing up, but I saw that my sister was holding a package of small things in her hand. As for the luggage bag, I know that there is actually nothing to pack.

"There shouldn't be anything important that you haven't brought, Mom." The elder sister turned to her mother with the luggage bag in her hand. The mother lowered her head and thought for a while, then went back to her bedroom and took out an old book from under the bed. The photo album, holding it nostalgic, "It's gone, I'll go and talk to Auntie Ah Qiu before I go." When the mother walked out of the house, she looked back at the whole house, with a look of reluctance in her eyes, and turned around. The reluctance is gone.

"Sister, how are you going to go back?" Looking at the figure of her mother walking out, she felt a little sad.Turning around to face my sister, leaving that sadness behind, I asked.

"Well, let's take a ride. I change trains slowly every time. Although it takes a long time, I can't bear to let your brother-in-law drive me so hard." She stuck out her tongue and said playfully, then Like a big kid.

"Otherwise, I'll take you back by the way. If you make a detour, City B is still on the way." Yu Mu played with the car keys in his hand, "Hey, how can you be so embarrassing?" My sister wanted to refuse in a panic, but said The words were pushed back by Yu Mu, "It's okay, I'm going to take Xiaoqing home anyway." Smiling, I didn't care at all... But I was a little hesitant, because if my sister and mother are both there, it means Do you have to show a very intimate look with Yu Mu even in the car?Although there is no difference, there is still a little repulsion, "Won't this bother you?" My sister suddenly smiled ambiguously, and the eyes she looked at us were self-evident.

"Huh?" Yu Mu seemed a bit overwhelmed, and blushed a little after thinking it through, "...No, at least go within the range of City B together, it's better for you to take a car." Interrupting the strange atmosphere of the two, a voice Sounds bland. "...Okay." My sister saw that I had said the same thing, so she had no choice but to agree.

After putting some necessary things into the trunk, the three of them sat at the door of the house and chatted one after another. They didn't mention any sensitive topics, just chatting like friends.

After my mother came back, we locked the door of the house with him, looked at the house that had been with her for decades, and turned around resolutely. Seeing her like this, we quickly helped my mother into Yu Mu's car, mother and sister Sitting in the back seat, and I was still the co-pilot seat, the time was either early or late, exactly eleven o'clock, so when we drove to the first rest stop, we stopped for lunch and chatted carefully with my mother , Yu Mu inserted a few words from time to time to make the atmosphere more relaxed. Although I only knew him for the second day, I felt that he should be a friend who can be deeply friends──I think so, is it a bit back to the past? ?

I don't know how long the shaking car drove, and we gradually felt tired later, and we stopped talking.

Except for Yu Mu, my sister and mother were dozing off with their eyes closed. I quietly went over to Yu Mu and said, "Thank you." Because he not only helped my mother to relax, but also paid for my meals. I feel that I owe him a lot.

You are obviously someone you just met, why do you have to do this?

"No, I'm also very happy." He looked at Lutu intently, with a smile on his face, and sometimes he really didn't understand why he could be so relaxed.

He just broke up now, why can he be so relaxed?

"...Aren't you sad? You just broke up or something." I blurted out without thinking carefully, and I really wanted to slap myself after I said it. "Ah...sadness is still there, but it feels much easier to be with you. Seeing that your family gets along so well, as if I was born in this family, I feel very warm and happy." He smiled softly, But I see very bitterly.

Because he is forcing himself.

Biting his lower lip and not saying anything else, leaning against the car window and looking at the sky outside, the sun is not very bright in the winter afternoon, looking at the somewhat gloomy sky, I feel that my mood has also settled.

I can't say much about his affairs, but I can choose not to watch or listen.Maybe this is an escape, but for me and him now, it may be the best choice.

"It's good to get here, sorry for your trouble." After my sister and mother got off the bus, they were very grateful to Mu. Although they only went to the outskirts of City B, there are already many cars here for my sister and the others to go home, " No, this is what I should do." He smiled innocently and pulled me into his arms, as if implying something. "Stop making trouble." I pushed him away calmly, frowning to pretend to be angry, "Don't bully my Xiaoqing, please be happy." My sister said to us gently, holding my mother's hand with.

Suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his heart, "Yes, please rest assured to give him to me." Yu Mu smiled as if this matter was real, so determined, but he looked away a little guilty, " Let's come to my sister's place to play next time." My sister patted my head, smiling as if she was back before she cut off contact with them, a little moved but even more heartbroken.

"Okay." I tried my best to keep the expression on my face from breaking down, and responded to her calmly. My mother also patted me and said nothing. They turned and left, and saw their backs disappearing from the other side of the street. Just got back to the car.

There was a feeling of relaxation all over the body, "Sorry... I'm sorry to trouble you." Breathing the not much fresh air in the car, the atmosphere felt like it was about to suffocate, "No, let's go back to City A." He didn't It's just a simple conversation, but I feel like I've lost something.

The distance between city B and city A is not very far, and it only took four or ten minutes to return to city A where I have lived for many years. When I returned to the corner coffee shop, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Then I remembered, I forgot to call the publishing house to ask for leave... Even if there is no work to do, at least I have to call to inform, but I didn't do anything.

After saying goodbye to Yu Mu with a livid face, I took the MRT, got off the bus and rushed to the publishing house as fast as I could, waiting for me to be the editor-in-chief who was even more livid than me.

"Where did you go today and I can't get in touch at all..." I don't know how long the editor-in-chief read, all I know is that my ears seem to be coming back from hell, and the ears are so painful.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I will definitely remember to ask for leave next time──" After apologizing repeatedly, I returned to my seat, turned on the computer and started work that was a long time late today, but actually it wasn't a lot, because most of it was done yesterday It's over.

Before seven o’clock, I packed up and went home. I fell on the bed and went to sleep. I don’t know if it was too relaxing or really tired. This night I thought of many things, including Ruoyu’s, my sister’s, and Mother's, and those...friends I haven't seen in a long time.
