Give the rest of your life

"Hello, Auntie!" Lin Yao greeted He Siyu's mother with a slight bow and a smile.

Mom made an invitation to come in and said, "Lin Yao is here? Haven't seen you for a while? Are you working?"

"Mom, Lin Yao is the same age as me, so you don't have a job!" He Siyu said standing behind Lin Yao.

Her mother glared at her: "Lin Yao is good at studying, unlike you, who doesn't like studying all day long. What if Lin Yao gets a Ph.D. or something, it's hard to say."

He Siyu looked at the intimacy between Lin Yao and her mother, as if she had returned to ten years ago.

At that time, as long as Lin Yao came to the house, my mother would be very happy, and now she holds hands and asks for warmth as if she were her own daughter.

"He Siyu! Come here!" Mom angrily waved to He Siyu who was standing in the entrance.

"What's wrong?" He Siyu walked over.

"I didn't hear you say that Lin Yao came back to China!" Mom put her hips on her hips, and only had an apron strap around her neck to hold a spatula in her hand.

He Siyu rolled his eyes, and said perfunctorily, "I didn't know about Lin Yao's return to China until long ago. Besides, she is already so old, should I take care of her?"

"You! He Siyu! You white-eyed wolf! Forgot who improved your grades back then!" The mother who was spitting stars and dancing in the air looked like an evil mother-in-law in a domestic family drama, and Lin Yao was like It's the son-in-law that the mother-in-law looks at—the son-in-law who looks more and more pleasing to the eye.

Thinking of his own interesting metaphor, He Siyu couldn't help laughing for a while.

"Hahahahaha..." She covered her belly and laughed to herself, her mother who was reprimanding her was very embarrassed by her appearance of being alone.

"You're still laughing! Why are you laughing!"

"Mom, do you know what you look like?" He Siyu said while covering her mouth.

Mom glanced at her: "Don't tell me, I don't want to know, it must be a bad word."

"Forehead……"

He Siyu regained his composure, and said it anyway: "Like a mother-in-law with her elbows turned outward in TV dramas."

He Siyu, who originally thought he could pull back a sentence, was laughed at by Lin Yao after hearing what her mother said.

"I would like Lin Yao to be my daughter. Your father and I are not stupid, why are you always trying to make ends meet like an elm lump?"

Lin Yao clenched her fists and covered her mouth with the tiger's mouth, although she could still be seen smiling: "This is a typical case of rotten wood that cannot be carved."

He Siyu took a gouged look at Lin Yao: "Mom, you wish Lin Yao could be your daughter, right?"

"Yes, Lin Yao, do you want Auntie to be your godmother?"

"Of course, I don't have any relatives in China anyway." Lin Yao readily agreed.

"Then it's settled! He Siyu, you! Call me sister!"

"What?!" He Siyu puffed up her cheeks angrily, "Why do you want to be a sister when you come in later!"

"Because Xiaoyao is a little older than you, hurry up!"

"Sister, sister..." He Siyu muttered reluctantly.

Seeing this, Lin Yao tightened her lips to prevent a smile from leaking from the corners of her mouth, which made He Siyu very angry.

Just go back to your country, and take advantage of me!

"By the way, speaking of getting married, Xiaoyao, do you have a boyfriend?"

Her mother's words also made He Siyu nervous. This question was something she had always wanted to know. Now that her mother asked it, it couldn't be better, so as to save herself from talking too much.

"Boyfriend? Not yet. I've been busy with work these past few years, and there are many foreigners who marry late or never marry. It's very common for me to be single at my age."

Mom nodded thoughtfully, "That's it... He Siyu doesn't have a boyfriend either, and I'm looking for someone for her. Do you want to look for it? I'll help you too?"

Lin Yao opened her eyes wide: "Huh? This... I don't want to find a boyfriend yet, work is more important."

"He Siyu! Look at Lin Yao! You don't get married because of your career, why don't you get married! Is it to get the second half-price cone all to yourself?"

"Mom! You! What are you talking about? Am I your biological daughter?" He Siyu looked at his mother angrily, then at Lin Yao, got up and went into the bedroom.

What is the second half-price cone?

Does this sound like a word?

Oh, the reason for looking for a boyfriend is to enjoy the preferential policy of [-] yuan off the second movie ticket?

It's fine for others to like Lin Yao, but my own mother also likes her, but as my biological daughter, I've been left out in the cold, hey...

Although everyone likes Lin Yao is a happy thing, but when this person is replaced by a mother, it still feels a little uncomfortable.

The door was gently pushed open, no need to guess who it was.

He walked lightly to the side of He Siyu who was curled up on the window sill, sat down like her, and put his arms around her shoulders.

He Siyu looked out the window and didn't dare to look at her, her heart was pounding, it was Lin Yao!

Sporadic voices like drizzle fell into my ears: "Are you angry?"

He Siyu adjusted his shortness of breath: "No, no."

"Then why did you come in? Your mother was just joking..."

Lin Yao's consolation did not have any effect, but made He Siyu inexplicably upset.

Thinking of the three of them talking about Lin Yao's love affair just now, she felt that now is a good opportunity, why not strike while the iron is hot and ask a few more questions.

"You have been abroad for so many years, have you never been in love?"

"We talked once, and we broke up not long after." Lin Yao answered her calmly.

He Siyu turned around and looked into Lin Yao's eyes, "Why did you break up?"

"Because..." Lin Yao looked at the blue sky outside the window, "I have someone I like."

There are people I like.

If so, you still like that person, right?

He Siyu smiled bitterly: "Then why aren't we together?"

"I can't get it because I want it, I can't give it up..."

It's a good sentence to ask for nothing, but not to give up!

It is to fulfill you, if you dare not say it, let me say it.

It can be regarded as making up for my mistakes in the past.

"Xiaoyu, Xiaoyao, it's time to eat!" Mom shouted outside the door.

"Understood!" He Siyu pushed Lin Yao, "Let's go out to eat."

"Xiao Yao, this fish is your favorite, eat more."

"Well, godmother, you can eat too."

"Xiao Yao, this bamboo shoot is also your favorite, eat more."

"Okay, godmother, you can eat too."

"Xiaoyao, drink soup, this soup was your favorite back then."

"Well, you eat, godmother."

He Siyu sat next to Lin Yao and silently watched the two of them coming and going, and really wanted to light a candle for herself.

"He Siyu, your aunt introduced you to another gentleman. He is 28 years old and is a photographer. He has his own studio. You should meet him this weekend."

What mother said casually was like a heavy bomb that landed in front of He Siyu's eyes—bang!

Can you stop talking about the blind date while I'm eating next time?

I really just want to have a good meal.

"Blind date again?" He Siyu picked up a vegetable and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Again!" Mom put down the chopsticks as usual.

He took a deep breath and put on a regretful expression: "Xiao Yu! Look at you, 27, do you think you have a few years left to pick? A 30-year-old woman can catch up with the speed of depreciation." Rocket launch, you know? Huh?"

"Mom, how can it be so exaggerated, Lin Yao doesn't have a boyfriend." He Siyu smiled and continued to eat.

"Lin Yao doesn't want to look for it, but you can't find it! Can't you see the facts and correct your attitude!" Mom said angrily.

"Mom, no, we have to talk about it." He Siyu couldn't help it, and put down his chopsticks.

Lin Yao, who had been watching the battle, stopped eating because of the momentum of the two, "Auntie, He Siyu, let's talk about this after dinner, okay?"

"not good!"

"not good!"

This time, He Siyu and his mother rarely had a tacit understanding.

"What are you talking about!" Mom said, patting the table.

"Why can't I find a partner! Tell me, tell me, is this something a mother can say! There is a saying, a son does not think his mother is ugly, you see I grow up like this and I can be perfect." Blame me? It’s not a matter of genetics, I don’t blame you for not making me beautiful, but you blame me instead!”

"What! Well, you He Siyu, you dare say I'm ugly when my wings are stiff! Your mother and I were high school girls, and your dad was a high school girl. The combination of the two of us was praised and blessed by everyone back then. One thing is that we are too good-looking to make you so ugly!"

He Siyu gasped, "Oh, the school belle! I'm ashamed to say it's the school belle! You just said that in your high school back then, there were only three classes in one grade, so what's there to brag about!"

Mom glared at her, then raised her head to look at the roof: "What's wrong with the three classes, the number of people in each class is less than seventy!"

Lin Yao couldn't help interjecting: "Then the godmother is still very competitive."

He Siyu glanced at her, "Competitiveness!? Haha, how much is a class with less than [-] students? Less than [-] students! Yes, Class [-] was disbanded because many people transferred to another school. There are eighteen girls in the school, you are the school belle? Are you embarrassed to say?"

"That... is the most beautiful among the eighteen people, and she also has a very good appearance." Lin Yao said.

"That's because you don't know, there are [-] of them, each of them is a flower. Four school flowers, four class flowers, four senior flowers, and a pair of twins, who claim to be invincible sisters." He Siyu glanced triumphantly. My mother shouted for herself in her heart, awesome!

"Um... I'm eating." Lin Yao silently lowered her head and picked up the food.

He Siyu's family is really the same as it was ten years ago, a battlefield without gunpowder.

"Less than 23 people, right! There are [-] people in our class, so it's not wrong to say that there are less than [-] people!"

"Then why don't you say there are less than one hundred students in a class?"

Mom sighed helplessly: "Hey, I wanted to say this at first, but after thinking about it, the classrooms like this are too big, so I changed it to less than seventy."

"..."

Lin Yao and He Siyu glanced at each other and made the same movement—shaking their heads without saying a word.

"Snapped!"

He Siyu was startled by the sound of slapping the table, she raised her head, and her mother was looking at the front with arrogance, He Siyu laughed out loud, she looked a bit like a big cock.

It's a pity that this schadenfreude didn't last long, and her mother's words made her feel that extreme joy begets sorrow.

"Anyway, you're going on a blind date with Mr. Wang on Saturday, so it's decided, you have to go if you don't! Xiaoyao, you supervise her!"

Hey, what does it matter to me...

It's a pity that no one can hear Lin Yao's call.

She nodded, "Good godmother."
