When I returned to the old house, I was surprised to find that Chu's mother was sitting in the living room watching TV. She looked up at the time. Yes, it was eleven o'clock in the middle of the night. Why was her mother who usually fell asleep at ten o'clock still awake? He looks very energetic.

Chu Cheng was a little surprised, but when he thought about it, he understood it again.

He sat down beside his mother and said with a smile, "Mom, why haven't you slept so late? You can't wait for me."

Mother Chu gave him a reproachful look: "Yes, he is indeed waiting for my good son."

"I'm so embarrassed by what you said. If my dad knows that you stay up so late just to wait for me, then I will definitely be punished, but it's okay to be punished. Anyway, I have been used to your son since I was a child. It's just that I'm worried that your body won't be able to take it."

Mother Chu patted the back of his hand with a smile: "I know you are a good son." After a pause, she asked again: "You came back so late, are you with your friends?"

Chu Cheng nodded: "Well, you should have heard from me, Xiao Moran and Yue Meng, Mu Ze and Bai Le, and—" He looked at Chu's mother calmly and firmly: "Yan Yunchu."

Sensing his mother's body trembling when he heard this name, Chu Cheng smiled wryly in his heart, but decided to clarify the matter earlier, "Mom, you must already know about Yunchu and I."

Chu's mother stared at her son in silence for a long time, then sighed and said, "Yes, your father told me a long time ago, but at that time, what he said was yes, not sure, but now look at your Look, it should be a decision, right, son."

"Yes, I don't want to lie to you." Although I know that my mother has always let go of her hands, let herself make choices, and only silently support her behind her back, this matter is different. This matter is a precedent in the history of the Chu family. , and caught his mother by surprise, but since he had made a decision, he couldn't just turn his back on Yunchu, but he didn't want to hurt his mother either.

"If I say I don't agree, what will you do?" Mother Chu asked indifferently, but her eyes fell on a certain point in the distance.

Chu Cheng didn't answer right away. Even though he had thousands of responses and explanations, he couldn't make his mother agree without any grudges. He was destined to break her heart.

He can be justified when facing his grandfather, and he can argue hard when facing his father, but only when facing his mother, he can't and doesn't want to.

His silence made Chu's mother feel a little better. At least she didn't want to hear her son answering her immediately without even thinking about it. It would make her feel that she was not important in his son's heart.

The mother and son fell into a brief atmosphere of silence, the clock on the wall was ticking, and it was about to strike twelve o'clock.

"Actually, I'm not a qualified mother." Chu's mother suddenly said: "Over the years, most of my thoughts have been placed on this family and on your father. Although you are my only son , but your father is the eldest son, your two uncles are busy with work, your second aunt has been in poor health, and your grandfather is getting old. I basically take care of all the things at home, but these are all I should do Yes." She paused, and continued: "You are very sensible since you were young, I often tell your father and others that my son is so well-behaved, it is my blessing, and it saves me a lot of worry. , But these are not the reasons why I can neglect your care and education."

"No, Mom, you gave me a very peaceful and happy home, and you gave me a lot of autonomy, and these are also very important."

"Mom is very glad that you think so, and you have indeed grown into a responsible person as I wished." Chu's mother smiled with relief: "When you were young, I only thought that you were more sensible than other children. , let me rest assured that when I grow up, I will be very good, which makes me proud and at ease. But sometimes I am a little hypocritical, thinking that my son is too sensible, and it seems that I don’t need me as a mother, which makes me a little uneasy , I feel that I am dispensable in your mind." Looking at Chu Cheng's slightly frowned brows, he stretched out his hand and nodded lightly: "Silly son, in fact, parents often have such contradictory and entangled feelings towards their children. mood, nothing strange."

Chu Cheng stretched his brows and smiled.

Chu's mother continued: "The other day your father told me about you and Yan's screenwriter. I was very shocked at first, and then I was very angry. I wondered why your father knew about it first and not me, even though the daughter is the mother's caring heart. Little padded jacket, but I only have you as a precious son, not to mention that your father is still very fierce, shouldn't you be closer to your own mother."

Chu Cheng hurriedly went up to please her and said with a smile, "Of course I'm closer to my mother."

"Being more and more slick." Chu's mother scolded, and sighed again: "Then I thought again, it's really not good for you to tell us about this matter, and I'm afraid your father didn't know it from you. Thinking about it like this , I feel a little happy in my heart, thinking that you will still take the initiative to tell me." Speaking of this, I couldn't help laughing: "Do you think that mom can't think of the point?"

Chu Cheng shook his head: "No, I know you don't want to blame me."

Chu's mother paused, and said helplessly: "My son really understands me." She smiled, and looked at her son lovingly: "So, I really don't want to make things difficult for such a good son."

"Mom—" Chu Cheng shouted guiltily.

"Mom has given you a lot of freedom since you were a child, allowing you to choose your life. This time, although Mom is unwilling in her heart, she will not hinder you. In this life, people will take many detours and make mistakes. Choice, our family has reached the position it is today, I think I can see more and further than others, so even if Mom may think that you are not walking on the right path, I am willing to let you go on your own. Go, no matter what happens in the end, what the result is, you have to bear it yourself."

Chu Cheng only felt a burst of indescribable emotions surging in his heart. He didn't know what to respond to his mother at this moment to express his current feelings. He could only say hoarsely: "Mom, thank you."

Even though he had thought about thousands of situations in which he would confess to his mother, he was still shocked and moved by what his mother said today. This is the heart of a mother who loves her children wholeheartedly. Her helplessness, with her support, with all of her.

"It's so late, after talking so much, Mom is also tired, go back to sleep, you should go to bed early too." Mother Chu got up and walked upstairs.

Chu Chengduan sat on the sofa, looking at his mother's back, his eyes were slightly red.

Back home, Yan Yunchu lay on the bed after washing up, holding his phone in a daze. He sent a text message to Chu Cheng as soon as he got home, but the other party still hasn't replied to him. What happened?

Chu Cheng returned to the old house tonight, and Yan Yunchu was thinking about all kinds of situations that the other party might encounter, but he would never think of the scene that just happened in the lobby of the Chu family's old house.

It was indeed very late, he felt his eyelids were gradually closing, his vision was a little blurry, he turned over, his phone fell to the side, and when he was lying on his side like that and was about to fall asleep, the doorbell suddenly rang crazily——

Yan Yunchu woke up suddenly, and the screen of the phone was constantly flickering. He picked it up and looked at it, then jumped up from the bed and rushed to the door. As soon as he opened the door, he was hugged tightly, and his chest was beating violently. It made him wake up gradually, and the slightly cold breath could not help shivering, and the other party hurriedly led him into the room and closed the door.

"Yunchu, I suddenly want to see you." The man's deep and magnetic voice rang in his ears.

He leaned into the man's arms a little stiffly, a little puzzled, but more of a joy to see this man suddenly, even though they had separated not long ago.

In Chu Cheng's nearly 30 years of life, he has almost never had such emotions as impulsiveness. As the eldest son and grandson of the Chu family, he knows the weight of the burden on his shoulders, the education he received since childhood and the expectations placed on him by his elders Let him mature earlier, when he was only seven or eight years old, he already looked like a little adult, and he was mature and prudent in dealing with people, and he was often praised for having the aura of Mr. Chu when he was young.

And these are calm and composed, calm and composed, but they often have uncontrollable fluctuations because of meeting Yan Yunchu's people or from time to time.

It was like being pulled by an invisible thread, rejoicing for his happiness and depressed for his sadness.

It was as if he was no longer him, but another person, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. On the contrary, he was happy about it in the bottom of his heart, just because, was that person Yan Yunchu?

I just thought that tonight, he hadn’t talked so many words with his mother for a long time, and he hadn’t had a serious heart-to-heart talk with his mother. Apart from being moved, he suddenly had an impulse to listen to what his mother said. After that, he wanted to, and wanted to see Yan Yunchu immediately.

He would love to see him.

He didn't know when he had such feelings for this young man. Before he knew it, it might be at a certain moment during filming, or after a certain phone call, or when he saw someone else or When it happened, it was like this anyway, naturally, when he found out, he would already think of this person many times in a day.

Maybe, this is what I really like.

I like this young man who always smiles, this young man who also becomes melancholy because of his overthinking, will smile slyly one second, and then turn around and leave stubbornly and stubbornly the next second.

But no matter which one, he couldn't help but want to hold him in his arms and put him in his heart.
