Clear stream

Fang Ruogu couldn't remember how long he hadn't seen his parents. It seemed that he had never been home since he was in college.The experience of adolescence has always been a thorn in his heart. Even if it is pulled out, it will leave a wound that is difficult to heal.

As soon as he saw his parents, the memories of being beaten at Yuzhang Academy and the death of his best friend poured in, overwhelming him.

However, the bond of family affection cannot be let go.

His voice was hoarse, with an imperceptible tremor: "Mom and Dad, why are you here?"

There was no surprise or resentment in the question that came out of the mouth, it was as light as boiled water.

Mother Fang wiped away her tears and said with a smile, "I just want to see if you are doing well."

Fang Ruogu didn't speak anymore, even if his parents didn't say anything, he would understand that the two probably came all the way here because they saw the news and were worried about something happening to him.

There was a long silence in the ward, and finally Fang's father broke the deadlock: "If you are fine, we will..."

Before he finished speaking, his sleeve was tugged.So Fang's father was like a doll that had been unwound, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Fang Ruogu had a panoramic view of his parents' little actions, and had mixed feelings in his heart.He understands the well-intentioned parents, but at the same time cannot understand their authoritarian and conservative.Why can't parents empathize from the perspective of their children, why do they have to wait until a big mistake is made before regretting it.

"Uncle Lin, how are they doing?"

Uncle Lin, the father of his dead best friend.

Fang's father and mother looked at each other, momentarily at a loss: "They gave birth to another child."

The corner of Fang Ruogu's mouth curled up in a sarcastic arc.

"The name chosen has the same pronunciation as the eldest son."

A sense of exhaustion hit, Fang Ruogu closed his eyes and said, "My injury will heal soon, you don't have to worry."

"Xiaogu." Mother Fang asked softly, "Are you still angry with your parents?"

"No." Just don't know how to get along.

Fang Ruogu added in his heart.

"For so many years, you have sent money home every month, but you have not returned home. Do you think your father and I are short of money?"

The string called reason in Fang Ruogu's mind suddenly broke, and he growled: "Then what do you want me to do? As long as I go home, my condition will deteriorate, and I will become another person, and I can't even control it." Own."

Fang's mother was taken aback, Fang's father was about to scold Fang Ruogu, when he saw his red eyes, his words turned into sighs and dissipated in the air.

"What do you mean by that... What does the condition refer to?"

"It's nothing." Fang Ruogu replied annoyedly, "It's all right now, but I don't know if it has been eradicated, so I don't want to be stimulated any more."

"You don't have to go home, but you must at least let us know how you are doing." Fang's father looked much calmer. "Like this accident, if it wasn't on the news, didn't you intend to tell us at all?"

"I'll pay attention in the future."

Clap—the door lock turned, the door was opened, and a pair of dark brown leather shoes stepped into the room. Looking up, it was a well-pressed suit, and the stern eyebrows and eyes glanced at the people in the ward with a little doubt.Then he returned to his usual calmness.

He was still carrying a light blue heat preservation box in his hand, which looked very out of place compared with his attire.

"I don't think I came at the right time?" Xi Qingxi put the thermos box on the bedside, turned to leave, but Fang Ruogu grabbed his wrist.

"Taking advantage of this opportunity, I would like to introduce you to each other." Fang Ruogu was not strong, but his tone was non-discussive, as if he was making the next announcement.

"These two are my parents." After speaking, he turned to his parents again, "This is my lover, Xi Qingxi."

Fang Ruogu's parents still had the traditional thinking of the older generation, and when they learned that the handsome man in front of them was the object of their son's public confession, the expressions on their faces were complicated.

"I will always walk with him." Fang Ruogu pondered for a few seconds, then added, "Whether I can get your blessing or not, I will never let him go."

Xi Qingxi sensed the delicate atmosphere between Fang Ruogu and his family, and recalled the experience he had said, so they couldn't help but tighten their hands.

"Uncle and aunt, now is the information age, maybe you can get some relevant information." Xi Qingxi explained with a smile, her gentle voice was like a spring breeze, "Liking the same sex is not a heinous behavior, let alone a disease."

"Try to understand children."

……

"I've said everything that needs to be said. It's reasonable for your parents to be stubborn when they are old. Don't think too much, drink the chicken soup quickly."

Fang Ruogu looked like an eggplant beaten by frost, he murmured: "I'm not in a good mood."

"I know." Xi Qingxi opened the insulated box, and the rich fresh fragrance spread out, and then Fang Ruogu's stomach let out a timely cry.

The roots of his ears were flushed, and he took the spoon and buried himself in the soup in embarrassment.There is a layer of golden yellow oil floating on the surface of the chicken soup, which is filled with cordyceps flowers and wolfberries.The hot air is sealed in the oil below, and the soup is still a little hot in the hand.

"Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite." Xi Qingxi suddenly said a word without knowing who he was speaking to.

"Xi San." Fang Ruogu suddenly raised his head to call him, with a firm and serious expression, "Let's not be like my parents."

Xi Qingxi chuckled: "What are you thinking, we can't raise the next generation."

Fang Ruogu said: "That's great, you don't have to work so hard to live." He picked up the remaining chicken nuggets in the lunch box, his brows and eyes gradually softened, "Fortunately, I met you."

Because they are of the same kind, they attract each other to keep each other warm, and finally redeem each other.

"By the way, what happened to Pei Linchuan?"

Xi Qingxi said: "Temporarily locked in the detention center, I greeted the people inside."

"Next, Qiu Ci will transfer Pei Linchuan's charges to financial crimes, and with the confessions of Fan Zhen and Yan Ying, Pei Linchuan will not be able to reverse the case."

Fang Ruogu frowned and analyzed: "He has been domineering for so long, he should not only support Fan Zhen and Yan Ying, wouldn't it be better to find more witnesses?"

Xi Qingxi's eyes were dim, and he said in a deep voice, "Everyone he played with before is dead."

Either die of abuse, or die of silence.

Fang Ruogu's eyes widened, and he closed his mouth tactfully.

Five days later, the court heard Pei Linchuan's financial crime case.Due to sufficient evidence and Xi Qingxi's pressure, there was almost no suspense in his trial. After the prosecutor listed a series of criminal evidence, the judge announced that he should be sentenced to death.

The moment Pei Linchuan was taken away, his gloomy gaze was like a sharp hook. If it had substance, it would definitely cut Xi Qingxi to pieces.

Until the audience dispersed, Xi Qingxi still hadn't recovered.The plan went too smoothly, so that he could not feel the joy of victory, but was a bit unfounded.

Just like a high-difficulty game that has been stuck for a long time, if he passes the level unimpeded one day by chance, he will doubt whether the cheat has been activated.

While thinking wildly, Xi Qingxi's palm was wrapped in warmth.He turned his head to look, Fang Ruogu cupped his cold hands and put them to his mouth to breathe, then put them into his pockets.

"It's over." Fang Ruogu raised his head contentedly, the golden sunlight pierced through the leaves of the street trees, casting irregular spots on his face, "Winter is coming to an end, it's great."

"Yeah, that's nice."
