The lady boss is a man

The winter vacation has begun.

He Xiao successfully passed the final exam and is busy with setting up a flower shop with Zhang Xizhi. Every day, he brings home a bouquet of beautiful lilies for Li Shiyao.

Li Shiyao picked a time to move most of the daily necessities and clothes into He Xiao's home, and walked home with He Xiao after work.

Time passed unhurriedly.

That day, there was a heavy snowfall in Yuancheng.

It is rare to see such a spectacular snow scene in the south. Southerners always have a special obsession with snow.

Even though Li Shiyao has lived in Yuancheng for many years, he still feels novel and happy every time he sees snow.

In the morning, after breakfast, Li Shiyao put on He Xiao's sweater jacket, stood in front of the living room window, lifted the curtains, and watched the white snow outside the window carefully.

He Xiao hugged Li Shiyao from behind, and adjusted his coat by the way, and the two could feel each other's strong heartbeats.

In life, the two of them don't like to talk most of the time, and they don't feel that such a life is boring.Relying on each other, feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat is enough to make them grateful for the beauty of life.

At noon, the snow stopped.

Both Li Shiyao and He Xiao changed into neat clothes, went to the flower shop to get two bouquets of chrysanthemums, and drove to the cemetery where He Xiao's parents were buried.

The entire cemetery was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, and the atmosphere around He Xiao also became dignified. Li Shiyao watched him tenderly.

When entering the cemetery, He Xiao took Li Shiyao's hand and said, "My dad likes smart people. If he sees you, he will definitely like you very much."

"Ah."

He Xiao led Li Shiyao to the tomb, carefully placed two bouquets of flowers in front of the tombstone, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, while Li Shiyao solemnly bowed three times to express his respect.

"Dad, Mom, I'm here to see you."

He Xiao's eye circles were a little red, and he choked up unconsciously. After sorting out his emotions for a long time, he continued: "His name is Li Shiyao, he is the one I love, and the one I want to marry back home, so I brought him here to meet you." you···"

One sentence clarifies Li Shiyao's position in He Xiao's heart. He is a lover, a family member, and a life partner for the rest of his life.

He Xiao knelt in front of the tomb, and he told about his experience during this period, with a natural expression as if there were two big living people standing in front of him. When he talked about the relationship with Li Shiyao, He Xiao's eyes were red, but the corners of his mouth were smiling.

This was the time when He Xiao was alone with his parents. Li Shiyao couldn't disturb him, so he stood quietly by the side.

Li Shiyao is a staunch atheist. He never believes that there are ghosts in this world. He only knows that people will disappear without a trace after death.

But this time, Li Shiyao was talking to the non-existent mother He Xiao in his heart. At that moment, he was willing to believe that ghosts existed in the world.

Auntie, I'm sorry, I broke my promise.

My love for He Xiao is far deeper than I imagined, and before I knew it, I couldn't separate him from my life.

I couldn't restrain my feelings and heartbeat for He Xiao, and I couldn't bear the pain of losing him. I couldn't keep him away again and again.

It is my fault that I did not do what I promised you. If you are angry, I am willing to accept any punishment.

He Xiao doesn't want you to worry about him, so forgive me for not telling He Xiao about this.

Thinking about it, Li Shiyao also knelt beside He Xiao, and also kowtowed three times, assuring again.

"Uncle and aunt, please rest assured to hand over He Xiao to me, I will take good care of him."

The two knelt side by side in front of the tomb, and promised He Xiao's parents that no matter how time passed, they would unswervingly love and accompany each other.

On the same day, the two took the afternoon flight to City B, which was Li Shiyao's hometown.

The two arranged their salute at the hotel, and carrying large and small bags of gifts, they came to the door of a certain community, and stood at the door stupidly.

Behind the door is the family he has lived in for more than ten years, and his beloved father and mother live there, but he has retreated.

A door separated two worlds that could not communicate with each other. Li Shiyao didn't have the courage to knock on the door to break the barrier.

Are the parents still angry?

What would your parents look like when they saw you?Is it joy, or disgust...

Have they missed themselves in recent years?

···

Relatives are close at hand, but they dare not go forward to recognize them. Li Shiyao has never looked down on him like this, and his cowardice makes people laugh.

Li Shiyao tilted his head and saw He Xiao's obsidian eyes staring at him, smiling and giving him great encouragement and courage.

Taking a deep breath, Li Shiyao was about to ring the doorbell when the door opened from the inside.

For a moment, Li Shiyao didn't know whether to run or hide, he turned around stiffly and then back again, looking carefully at the equally shocked couple, biting his lips and not knowing how to make a sound.

The couple were in their fifties, dressed smartly, and their demeanor revealed that they were intellectuals.

Seeing Li Shiyao, the woman covered her face with her hands and sobbed and leaned towards the man's shoulder, while the man's face was expressionless, his lips were tightly pressed together, but his eyes were watery.

Li Shiyao's brows and eyes have lost the greenness of his college days, and he has become a business elite with an aura of aura. He exudes a cold mechanical feeling, and rarely shows a soft side, as if he has changed from the inside out.

The white hair on the sideburns and the wrinkles at the corners of the eyes of his parents are telling how long these years have been. Li Shiyao still remembers that his parents took good care of him and looked about ten years younger than his actual age. When did he become so old?

After many years of separation, both parties are not what they remembered.

Why on earth did they come to this point?

"Dad, Mom..."

This sound woke up Li Shiyao's parents. When they took a step forward to confirm, they noticed He Xiao who was following behind Li Shiyao.

"You still like men!"

Angrily, Papa Li took out the broom from behind the door, pushed away Mama Li's blocking hand, rushed out the door, and hit Li Shiyao on the shoulder hard, as if to vent all the anger of the past few years.

This unfilial son has refused to come back for so long!

Is he really going to abandon the family that raised him for more than ten years for a man!

Are parents less important than love!

···

The corridor itself was narrow, and the two of them brought a lot of gifts, so the space for them to hide was even smaller.

Li Shiyao felt ashamed in his heart, and he didn't fight back when Li's father beat and scolded him. He stood in the distance and let Li's father wave the mop stick in his hand.

The moment Li Shiyao saw his parents, he simply felt that he was not worthy of being a child, why didn't he come back earlier to admit his mistake.

He should have dealt with it maturely, but he had been stubborn about going home for nearly ten years out of ridiculous stubbornness and cowardice.

Thanks to his self-proclaimed rationality, he has been dizzy for so many years. He would rather come back earlier and suffer this beating than see his parents grow old and feeble, far from the image in his memory.

The moment Papa Li started, He Xiao threw all the things in his hands on the ground, and quickly hugged Li Shiyao tightly in his arms.

Excluding the first few blows, the rest of the whipping fell on He Xiao's back, and he did not say a word, forcibly resisting all the beatings for Li Shiyao.

He Xiao, he doesn't know what to say, he only knows how to protect Li Shiyao from any harm.

At the end of the fight, the wooden stick in Li's father's hand was severely discounted, and Li's father was so tired that he gasped for breath, but He Xiao still didn't cry out for pain.

After confirming that Papa Li stopped, He Xiao slowly raised his head. His forehead was bulging with veins and his eyes were red from suffocation. He smiled happily after seeing that Li Shiyao was fine.

what a fool...

Li Shiyao caressed He Xiao's cheek in distress, tears flowed down and down, and choked up: "Why don't you know how to hide..."

"You don't want to hide, and I won't hide either..."

Li Shiyao will not hide because he is apologizing to his parents.

He Xiao couldn't take him away, but he didn't want Li Shiyao to be hurt, so he came to bear all this for Li Shiyao.
