long life

The author says:

When Zhou Jing brought out fruit and teacups from the kitchen, Yu Xiu just put on his clothes and came out of the bedroom with dissatisfaction written all over his face, but now he could only keep his duty honestly.

The eyes of the two met in mid-air for a moment, Yu Xiu gave him a pitiful and helpless look, Zhou Jing couldn't help laughing, but he could only cough a few times to dissolve the laughter.

"Aunt Sheng, eat some fruit."

Zhou Jing put down the plate containing the fruit, and when he was about to pour water from the kettle, Yu Xiuzao picked up the kettle first, poured two cups of warm water graciously and handed them to Sheng Huan and Zhou Jing respectively.

Sheng Huan glanced at Yu Xiu, then picked up the cup and took a sip of water, smiled and looked up at Zhou Jing, "How is your mother recently? Is everything okay?"

"Thank you, Aunt Sheng, for your concern. My mother is fine now." Zhou Jing touched the teacup with his hand and turned the handle towards him, "I mentioned you when we were having dinner together a few days ago, saying that she made the oil. The stewed prawns will never taste as good as the one you made, and I still think about having a chance to eat it again."

Sheng Huan smiled slightly, "There will be more opportunities in the future. The old neighbors of more than ten years will rarely meet again, and we will get together for a meal when we have time."

She was about to finish speaking, and suddenly raised her head to look at Zhou Jing, "If I remember correctly, Xiao Jing must be 26 this year."

Zhou Jing replied truthfully, "I just passed my 28th birthday a while ago, and I will be almost 30 years old in a blink of an eye."

Sheng Huan nodded, "This age is considered to be a critical period in life. What about you, do you have any plans for your future life and work?"

"Me?" Zhou Jing was suddenly taken aback, as if wondering why Sheng Huan asked such a question. After a pause for a few seconds, he continued: "I am doing my job well in the current company, and I will consider promotion if I have the opportunity. .”

"It's not bad to think so." Sheng Huan nodded slightly, and was silent for a while, "But Yu Xiu, I want him to go abroad to study, and he will take a job in China when he returns from his studies. Maybe he won't stay in this city all the time. .”

"Mom." Yu Xiu called her in a low voice, and immediately turned his attention to Zhou Jing, "This matter will have to wait until after graduation at least, and I haven't fully decided yet."

"I know." Sheng Huan glanced at him, and leaned his body on the sofa unhurriedly, "Some things are better to be decided in advance, and I didn't force you to agree with me when I proposed it at the beginning, but There are very few such opportunities, the university professor in Lyon will retire in a few years, if you go after graduation, you can still become his last student."

Sheng Huan's words seemed to be addressed not only to Yu Xiu, Zhou Jing's mind went blank for a moment, her breathing gradually slowed down, and she clasped her fingers on her knees.

"Xiao Jing." Sheng Huan turned his head and asked him suddenly: "If you were Yu Xiu, what do you think should be done?"

Yu Xiu eagerly wanted to interrupt, but Sheng Huan turned his eyes back and held back his throat, so he could only sit on the sidelines like pins and needles.

Zhou Jing's lips moved for a moment, and after thinking twice, he replied sincerely: "Naturally, I will choose to study abroad without hesitation. Opportunities come and go, and they are related to major events in life."

"You're right. He's still young, and he has a lot of room for improvement. He doesn't have a stable life and work like you."

Sheng Huan glanced at his son, and his tone softened a little, "Yu Xiu has been relying on you since he was a child, and my mother has not fulfilled her due responsibilities. At first, I only heard that he dated a man, but later I learned that he was dating a man. When you saw me, I wasn't too surprised."

Zhou Jing was taken aback for a moment, just remembered that Yu Xiu said that he had told his parents about this matter, but he didn't think much about it at that time, it was right that he was joking, but it was true if he didn't think about it.

"Xiu told the family about the relationship between the two of you early in the morning." Seeing his surprised look, Sheng Huan quickly explained.

"Then, Aunt Sheng, you..." Zhou Jing looked at her nervously, feeling like a daughter-in-law meeting her mother-in-law for the first time, full of nervousness and anxiety.

"To be honest, I can't stop Yu Xiu from liking someone. What he likes is freedom." Sheng Huan smiled slightly, and his eyes glanced at Zhou Jing and Yu Xiu, "But if he really wants to have a long-term relationship with you If the development continues, it is necessary to show the confidence and capital to protect this relationship, but now, it can be said that he has nothing."

"Mom, I'm not as unbearable as you said." Yu Xiu retorted immediately, desperately trying to protect his face in front of Zhou Jing, "I already have enough ability to protect the person I like."

Sheng Huan snorted softly, and looked like he wanted to fly even though his wings were not strong, "Where did you get your enough ability? You didn't ask your parents to help you with the lawsuit at Xiao Jing's family."

"I..." Yu Xiu was at a loss for words for a moment, and the swelling energy just now was vented. It is true that only by himself now, he can't help Zhou Jing at all.

Sheng Huan sighed softly, and reached out to pat his son on the shoulder, "You have confidence now, probably because of your family and parents, but parents can't exist forever in your life, and they want you to become better and better , so that one day you can solve all problems independently, including protecting your loved ones."

Yu Xiu remained silent this time, and no longer argued. After confirming his relationship with Zhou Jing, he did think about giving up the opportunity to study abroad, but he didn't think about it at that time. Great security.

If it is decided, it will be another two years of separation. Just thinking about it, there will be a kind of gradually painful loss permeating every part of the heart.

When subconsciously raised his head to look at Zhou Jing, he met his eyes without any accident, Yu Xiu's heart trembled, and just that one glance seemed to be worth a thousand words to tell.

"You and Xiao Jing are still young, and there are still many things to go through in the future. As for how to decide, Mom will only wait for your result."

Sheng Huan got up and took out a small bunch of keys from the accompanying satchel, and then threw them into Yu Xiu's arms, "There is a vacant house for my best friend in the Lanshuiwan community, and it's quite close to here. Live somewhere else."

Yu Xiu held the key in a daze for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he strode over and hugged Sheng Huan in his arms, "Thank you, Mom!"

"Okay, okay, how old are you?" Sheng Huan patted Yu Xiu's shoulder with a smile, "I won't go back for a while, you two must go home and have a look when you have free time."

After seeing Shenghuan off, the two returned to the apartment side by side.

They were silent all the way, but the moment they entered the door, Yu Xiu dropped his shoulders powerlessly, walked to Zhou Jing's side and leaned half of his body on him.

"As soon as Aunt Sheng left, are you going to start again?"

Yu Xiu shook his head, "Be honest for the time being, if my mother suddenly kills the carbine, I think half of our life's happiness will be gone."

Zhou Jing couldn't help laughing out loud, he couldn't stand still under the pressure of Yu Xiu, so he had to wrap his arms around his waist to make the two of them stand firmer.

"Aunt Sheng is coming, why don't you tell me in advance."

Yu Xiu let out a long sigh, "Good brother, if I knew my mother was coming, I wouldn't be so unscrupulous that I wouldn't even wear clothes."

"Really?"

"Really." Yu Xiu tilted his head and kissed his earlobe, "Auntie Sheng sounds so unfamiliar, even if you just called him mom, she probably would agree."

Zhou Jing shrank her neck, frowned and smiled, "I'm not as thick-skinned as you."

The two had an ongoing conversation, and neither of them mentioned half a word about the training.

Until both of them fell silent, Yu Xiu could clearly feel Zhou Jing's arms tightening unconsciously, and then he heard him say softly, "I think it's good to go to study after graduation."

Yu Xiu's heart trembled, and he only responded with a "hmm" for a long time.

"How many people dream of an opportunity, maybe this is the only opportunity you have after graduation."

Zhou Jing patted him on the back lightly with his hand, "You should be an eagle soaring in the sky, I can't be the sinner who tied a rope to your feet."

Yu Xiu hurriedly straightened up, grabbed Zhou Jing's shoulders, "I never thought you..."

"I know." Zhou Jing stretched out his hands to hold his face, his eyes were never darker than before, "So I promise my brother, I will study hard after graduation, and when I come back after studying hard, I will wait for you at a place you know , will wait no matter how long."
