In the afternoon, Yue Jianliu, Wu Tongqiu and Xia En were invited to visit Xu's house.Fu Shengun couldn't come to class in the afternoon, so he called Dong Yibai at first, but Xu Zhiyuan only called him symbolically, and didn't expect him to come.

Wu Tongqiu and Yue Jianliu have a very good relationship, their personalities complement each other, even without Xu Zhiyuan continuing the conversation, they wouldn't be cold.Xia En is also a person who is not good at talking, sitting on the sofa, not squinting.

Xu Zhiyuan poured a cup of tea for all three of them. At the same time, fearing that Xia En would be tired from sitting, he handed him a newspaper and asked, "Did you know each other before?"

"When Mr. Yu first took office, he could often see Yue Yue outside Classroom No. [-], and he became familiar with him without knowing it." Xia En pushed his glasses, accidentally looked at Wu Tongqiu, and said, "Wu is here I met during the South Wall incident... Miss Wu is very brave."

"I also heard about Tong Qiu at that time, but I was not familiar with it, but we were destined," Yue Jianliu took Wu Tongqiu's hand and said, "Tong Qiu's elder brother is my father's student."

Wu Tongqiu's expression was as calm as usual, and she probably wasn't good at making friends. She lowered her eyes and looked at the hand held by Yue Jianliu in bewilderment.Xu Zhiyuan thought of the relationship between Yue Lao and his father, and thought to himself: "Yue Lao is really full of peaches and plums."

The housekeeper cut the melons and fruits bought in the morning and put them on the table. Xu Zhiyuan told them that he would cook for himself tonight to thank the "actor".

Then let the three chat first, and wait outside for the little uncle to come back.

It stands to reason that Li Anrong and Yu Yao would have already arrived home at this time, but Xu Zhiyuan hadn't seen them for a long time, so he probably had some urgent business to attend to and wasted time.He stood for a while watching the pedestrians on the street, and when he was bored, he counted the steps from the door of his house to the corner of the street, and happened to meet an acquaintance face to face.

Xu Zhiyuan: "..."

Dong Yibai: "..."

Xu Zhiyuan stretched out his hand, grabbed Dong Yibai's collar when he turned around, and said, "What are you doing here... Hey, where are you going?"

"Is the door of your house very expensive? You won't even let passersby?" Dong Yibai hated this man's hands the most, staring at him grabbing the hand on his collar, and said, "Let me go."

Xu Zhiyuan looked around, he seemed to be here alone, he seemed to have wandered around for a long time, this invitation made Xu Zhiyuan a little unexpected.He said: "I mean, what are you doing here, come in when you come."

"Didn't you hear that I am Lu..."

"My uncle is in the room. He has something to tell you."

Dong Yibai's sophistry stopped abruptly, he glared at him, condescendingly said: "What's the matter?"

Xu Zhiyuan: "I lied to you, he hasn't come back yet."

"..." Dong Yibai shook off his hand, scolding him for being inexplicable.

"You're here, why are you in such a rush?" Xu Zhiyuan thought, "Although we're not shallow, I'm just a matter of fact. You helped my uncle resolve this crisis, and I owe you a favor." .” He pointed to the door of the house behind the corner, and said, “Is one meal enough? I’ll make it for you.”

Dong Yibai rolled his eyes at him, and teased: "As far as your cheap reward, I don't care."

Xu Zhiyuan fried him in his heart, and thought cursingly: "Bah, I don't care if you come here." He took a deep breath, put his hands in his pockets, and said: "Then what do you want to ask, or If you want me to help, as long as it is suitable, I will do my best." Xu Zhiyuan added, "We will not owe each other after that, we should fight when we meet."

Dong Yibai: "..."

He was silent, and together with Xu Zhiyuan, played two statues for nearly 1 minute.In the end, it was Dong Yibai who spoke with difficulty and said, "What is your relationship with Yu Yao?"

Xu Zhiyuan tilted his head to look at him, and said directly: "Lover relationship."

Dong Yibai's expression became more rigid, he said: "Yu Yao agreed?"

Xu Zhiyuan looked at the sky, lied and said: "Yes."

"Too...too absurd." Dong Yibai took a step aside and said in disgust, "He is obviously your elder, and he is still a man... Wouldn't he feel sick to your stomach if you had that kind of thought about him?"

"Ask him about this kind of thing, how do I know." Xu Zhiyuan said indifferently, "Do you have any questions?"

"...No more," Dong Yibai suppressed the thousands of words in his stomach, and only one sentence was left on his lips, "You can do it for yourself. Doing such a thing that violates ethics and morals will get backlash sooner or later."

"Ethics and morality..." Xu Zhiyuan felt it was funny, and said, "Master Dong, what is your name in my ancestor's genealogy? Even if you are in a hurry to get you."

"I don't argue with lunatics, your mind is not clear at all." Dong Yibai pointed at him, turned around and left, and said, "It's my bad luck to pass by here."

"Get lost!"

Looking at his back, Xu Zhiyuan felt a surge of anger in his chest with nowhere to vent.I feel that I and Dong Yibai have been enemies for eight lifetimes, and I have to be angry with good things and bad things.

He cursed in a low voice, but did not wait for Yu Yao, so he had to go home and stay there.

But the chest that has been energized is like a stove that has been burned out, the ashes and residue gradually lose their heat, making people feel a bit chilly.

Li Anrong came back earlier than Yu Yao, and Xu Zhiyuan saw the black-clothed man with the black round-brimmed hat and wrinkled face again.He came in with Li Anrong, saw the three students on the sofa, there was a deep hoarseness in his voice, he took a special look at Xu Zhiyuan, and said with a smile: "Bian Li has guests at home."

The three of them heard the words and looked towards the door, they all stood up politely, bowed to Li Anrong and said, "Hello, Auntie."

"You're welcome," Li Anrong told them to sit down, and took the man upstairs to the study.When going upstairs, she glanced at Xu Zhiyuan who was beside the railing, and said, "Aren't you going to accompany your classmates?"

"I'll cook later." Xu Zhiyuan said.

"Okay, you guys eat yours, don't call me later." Li Anrong opened the door to let the man in first, and said in a low voice, "After dinner, leave some time, I'll tell you something."

Xu Zhiyuan looked at the man in black with a terrifying face, an inexplicable worry gathered between his brows, and said, "Oh."

This dinner was supposed to be a celebration, but there were a few unpleasant events that paved the way, and the celebration was almost meaningless. Xu Zhiyuan glanced at the brightly lit study room and the door from time to time.When Li Anrong came out to see off the man in black, Yu Yao just came back.

The man in black said hello, "Mr. Yu, long time no see."

Xia En immediately stood up, and the three of them said in unison: "Teacher Yu!"

Yu Yao smiled at his students, nodded to the man in black and said, "Long time no see...I won't see you off."

Li Anrong sent the man in black to the car outside the house, Yu Yao took a deep look, the solemn look on his face was not formed, he was pulled into the laughter of his students at the dining table.

Yu Yao thanked Xia En who opened the stool for him, bent down and sat down, looked at the table full of delicacies, and said with a smile: "It's so rich."

Yue Jianliu said: "Most of this was done by Zhiyuan himself."

Yu Yao lowered his eyelashes, glanced lightly at Xu Zhiyuan, and saw that he was picking up and eating vegetables as if nothing had happened, so he changed the topic and said, "Is it still to your liking?"

Wu Tongqiu: "Yes."

Yu Yao smiled and said, "Next time you come, I'll cook."

Xu Zhiyuan took a few mouthfuls of rice, put down his chopsticks, and said, "I'm almost done eating, my mother told me to come over, you guys talk first."

Yue Jianliu said strangely: "Hey...Zhiyuan!"

Xu Zhiyuan fled to the study and took a deep breath.

"I told you to leave time after dinner. What are you doing here so early?" Li Anrong closed the book and frowned, "All the classmates left?"

"not yet."

"I've grown up so much, I still don't know how to be the host. How can you treat guests like this?"

Xu Zhiyuan was just a little awkward when he saw Yu Yao, and it was inconvenient to lose his temper in front of others.He found a stool and sat down. Thinking that it might be about the man in black who came to his house twice, he became serious and asked, "What did you call me?"

"It's nothing," Li Anrong said, "Do you get along well with Jianliu?"

"We are very good, you don't have to worry about it," Xu Zhiyuan turned a corner and continued, "But we are just friends—she and I both think so."

"I know you're not interested in each other, and Elder Yue told me the same thing, so he won't force you anymore," Li Anrong said suddenly, "Your father and I have re-discussed a marriage for you, and you will meet the girl some other day and choose an engagement." day."

"..."

"Engaged?" Xu Zhiyuan was a little uncomfortable with her sudden toughness: "What... mean?"

"It's too early for you to decide on some things. Xu Zhenping and I will make the decisions for you." Li Anrong said as patiently as possible, "This time, this girl likes you. Girls chase after boys. After getting along for a long time, the relationship will become weaker." coming."

Seeing Xu Zhiyuan stunned, Li Anrong handed him a photo, which was a photo of little Xu Zhiyuan and a girl, and she said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you, her father is Xu Zhenping's former colleague Meng Che, you and her seem like We met each other when we were young."

It was as if a hole had been dug in the heart, and a bucket of cold water was suddenly poured in. Xu Zhiyuan said in disbelief, "Meng Che... are you planning to 'marry' me with her?"

Li Anrong said frankly: "There is such an idea."

Xu Zhiyuan felt something was wrong and said, "...Did something happen? Tell me."

Li Anrong shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I'm just talking about your marriage."

Xu Zhiyuan stood up, holding back his anger, and said, "But while you keep saying that you want to follow my wishes, you are secretly arranging for me. Mom, have you forgotten how you and Xu Zhenping got together?"

Unusually, Li Anrong didn't even argue, and said, "It has nothing to do with you."

"I..." Xu Zhiyuan laughed a few times, he almost couldn't believe it was his mother, he parted his lips, and said, "...are you and Xu Zhenping crazy all of a sudden?"

Li Anrong stood up and raised his hand, Xu Zhiyuan didn't hide, just closed his eyes, but the imagined pain didn't go away.

"I never really hit you, Xu Zhiyuan." Li Anrong said with trembling lips.Xu Zhiyuan was taken aback for a moment, and opened his eyes, only to see his mother slowly put down her hand, clenched her fist tightly, and her nails dug into the palm of her hand.

"Tell me, do you like men?" She paused, "What's going on with you and Yu Yao?"
