lemonade

When the foam got on his hands, Xu Zheng didn't care at all. He carefully shaved Fu Yue's beard, as if he was treating an unparalleled and rare treasure.

"My mother is a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. She engraved the word health into my habits. I can't eat junk food, roadside stalls and food stalls, and heavy fried things. Every night at [-] o'clock You have to go to bed before bed, you can’t go back to sleep, you have to eat three meals a day and they have to be regular, eight glasses of water a day can’t be too much or too little, you have to eat fruits before meals, and you have to exercise every day.”

"Once when I was a child, after school, I saw a stand selling freshly roasted marshmallows on the roadside. I was so hungry. Once I bought one secretly. I thought it was really delicious when I entered it. When I was halfway through eating, my neighbor saw it. When I was chatting with my mother, I accidentally mentioned it, and my mother knew it. Then I was educated by my mother for two hours. From then on, until I met you, I never ate at the roadside stall again. "

Xu Zheng shaved him well, then wiped off the foam on Fu Yue's face with a clean towel, washed him with clean water, and finally dried his face.Fu Yue raised his face, looking clean.

"So I took you to do a lot of unhealthy things, brother, I thought you were a veteran cadre, but I didn't expect..."

Unexpectedly, because of this reason, the mother’s starting point cannot be said to be bad, but it is full of rules and suffocating control. The child’s curiosity and attempts are criticized in a mess, and he is taught what can be done, what to do It cannot be done, in the name of love, to deprive him of the natural happiness he originally had.

Xu Zheng washed his hands: "There is no need to look at me with such eyes. I did a lot of unhealthy things after meeting you, but that also brought me unparalleled happiness, and another kind of I am very lucky to have a new experience in life. The first time I ate a roadside stall as an adult was because of you, the first time I ate Nuojiji until I was full, it was also because of you, and the first time I tried to search for food bloggers was because of you, staying up late It's because of you, it's because of you that you want to sleep late, and it's because of you that you are lazy and don't exercise for a few days."

Fu Yue covered his eyes and said, "Enough is enough, brother, if you continue talking, I will feel that I am heinous and unforgivable."

"I haven't finished yet." Xu Zheng put his hand over his and said, "Before running the half-marathon, the first thought I got up every day was that I could go for a morning run with you, and I kept thinking about it during the process of washing up. It's all, I'm so happy to see you later, in my heart at that time, your existence has surpassed the meaning of morning jogging."

"Brother, in fact, I did too. At that time, I ran with you in the morning every day, improved my speed and endurance together, greeted the morning together, and surpassed myself and my limits together. All 'together' was the motivation for me to get up every day." Fu Yue Kissed Xu Zheng's eyes, and said, "From being refreshed to sweating profusely, I like your appearance."

Xu Zheng said: "I haven't finished talking, there are still many things."

"Well, go ahead, I like to listen." Fu Yue said, "It's okay to listen to it all night. If you can't finish talking or you are tired and sleepy, we will rest. Anyway, there is still a lifetime to listen to. Take your time." speak."

"Let's go back to the room." Xu Zheng said, "It's kind of weird to talk at night in the bathroom."

They returned to the room and lay side by side on the bed. The two of them were close together, fingers intertwined. Xu Zheng looked at the ceiling and said, "My father's desire to control is even worse than my mother's." .”

"Since I was in elementary school, my grades must be the top five in the class. This is the goal my dad set for me. It is actually not difficult for me. But there were a few accidents in the middle... ..."

The first time was when he was in the fourth grade of elementary school. At that time, Xu Zheng had been in the top three of his class for more than three years. But in the final exam of the last semester of the fourth grade, Xu Zheng was dizzy all the time during the exam due to his physical discomfort. In the end, I only got sixth in the class and No. 19 in the grade.When he handed the report card to Dad Xu, Dad Xu's originally amiable face immediately darkened, and asked him if he was lazy in his studies.

Xu Zheng told the truth, saying that he was not feeling well and that he read some questions wrongly.

Then Dad Xu found out a stack of newspapers, which contained well-categorized topics, and the big-character posters were very conspicuous. Looking over, they were all such as——XX athletes won XX medals with injuries, and XX died and then fought in the field A beautiful turnaround, xx is unwell but still sticks to his post, etc.Dad Xu asked Xu Zheng to find the most touching ones and post them in the room after reading the newspapers, so that he could save himself three times a day.

Xu Zheng, a fourth grader, did so expressionlessly.

"Actually, at that time, I thought about what they gave birth to and raised me for? Is it for this healthy body, and this achievement that they can be proud of? At that time, I gradually began to understand the two words like and love. Father's love is like a mountain. , Mother’s love is like water, both are great. Because they are relatives, because they are connected by flesh and blood. When I was in elementary school, I often wrote compositions about my parents. Mom and Dad love me too' starts and ends, but I don't use it because I feel that even if I love them, they don't necessarily love me."

Xu Zheng paused, then shook his head mockingly, and said, "No, they should love me too, they love me who is excellent. If I'm just a learning machine and can get No.1 every time, maybe they will be more Love me. So yuba, I'm scared, I'm scared you'll see the whole of me, and I'm scared to let you know about my family, because I'm scared you won't like me like this, you've never seen hysteria Me and numb me. I grew up in such a family, my understanding of love is 'love is conditional', so even though I know I believe you are different from them, but I am still scared..."

Before he finished speaking, Fu Yue turned over and hugged him.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, my love for you is unconditional."

Xu Zheng hugged him back and said, "I'm not as good as you think."

"Brother, do you believe that there is a magnetic field between people?" Fu Yue asked.

Xu Zheng was taken aback, and said, "Why do you ask that suddenly?"

"Because to be honest, I have actually met many, many excellent people since I was a child. There are many handsome people with good grades and good personalities, and there are even some who are better than you. I believe you have also seen many of them. "The person you love." Fu Yue said, "But I only fell in love with you at first sight, and I only have different feelings for you. I don't believe in fate, but when I see you, I really hope that we are destined to be together. Yes. Fortunately, I got what I wanted in the end.”

"So, I don't want you to deny yourself, and I don't want you to have any worries about my feelings for you. When you went through these things in the past, I was not by your side and couldn't do much, and there will be many things in the future. There are variables, and there may be problems in our relationship, but we can solve everything together. I love you, there is no doubt about it.”

Xu Zheng was silent for a long time before he said, "What should I do? I was so moved that I was about to cry."

"Then you cry, I won't laugh at you." Fu Yue said, "Let me tell you, I was a little crying bag when I was a child, and my mother said to me every day, how can a boy shed tears so easily, but Every time I cry, I still come to comfort me. Later, when I grew up, I felt ashamed to cry often, and gradually developed the skill of not crying. Sometimes when the negative energy accumulated too much, I went to Watch a very sad movie or book, take the opportunity to let yourself cry, and everything will be fine after crying."

"When I was young, I thought of a very naive metaphor. Eyes are like the sky, tears are like rain, and there will be a rainbow after the sky rains, and good luck will appear after I cry. Even if there is no rainbow , at least it can wash away some unhappy things."

Xu Zheng was amused by him, kissed his hair, and said, "It's so cute."

"But... Brother, why are you hysterical?" Fu Yue hooked Xu Zheng's finger to play, "I didn't want to poke your scar, you don't have to say it if you don't want to, I'll just ask."

Xu Zheng said: "When I quarreled with them about changing my volunteering, I was hysterical. You must not be able to imagine such a scene."

For 18 years, he has been growing up according to his parents' wish. After learning that his father changed his wish, he ferociously and frantically vented all the depression accumulated in the past 18 years. He was irrational and reckless, saying A bunch of hurtful words.

Father Xu was shocked by his heart-piercing yells. He never thought that his son would have such an out-of-control side, but he was not to be outdone, and calmly ridiculed him with gentle and calm eyes under the frame.He seems to be confident that his son will not escape from his palm and Wuzhishan. After he quarrels, he still has to submit to the authority of the "parents" and continue to inherit his career.

Dad Xu was only half right.

Xu Zheng did not choose to repeat his studies for a year to re-election. He majored in law as his father wished, he also studied for a master's degree in law, and entered a law firm.But he left home as soon as he graduated from university, and lived and worked in a city thousands of miles away. He would only go home for a few days during Chinese New Year every year, and the relationship between father and son became very tense.

Will Xu's mother come to H City to see Xu Zheng, but Xu's father will basically not come.The child who grew up under his control finally flew far out of his palm.

Fu Yue said, "Your dad doesn't know we're together, does he?"

Xu Zheng shook his head: "My mother probably hasn't told him yet. It's okay, it won't affect anything if he knows it. If you don't want to see him, you can never see him for the rest of your life."

"No, I want to see him." Fu Yue said, "The past can't be changed, and this time I will face it with you."

Xu Zheng smiled and said, "That's fine, I'll listen to you."

"How long do you plan to stay this time?" Fu Yue asked.

Xu Zheng said: "I have been transferred for three days and a half year leave, and I can play with you for five days. Do you want to watch the construction?"

"Just let Yun Heng watch." Fu Yue didn't feel any guilt at all, and said, "He's also our partner. I want you to take me to play."

Xu Zheng said, "Okay, where do you want to go?"

"Stop making plans, let's go with fate, tomorrow we will stage Escape from Village C!"

"Well, listen to you."
