The sourness and bitterness of black coffee is the taste that Xi Lingyu is most familiar with and the most inseparable taste in these years.

For some reason, all the embarrassment and unspeakable things that were buried deep in her heart back then seemed to be able to be told as an innocuous story in front of her.

"My maternal ancestor's family is in Jianglin, so he can be regarded as a respectable person..."

Xi Lingyu's tone was very calm, as if she was really telling a story.

"My mother is the youngest child of my grandfather. She loved music since she was a child, and she is also talented. Before my father got married, she was the principal violinist of the Jianglin Symphony Orchestra."

Lin Luoluo was a little surprised.She has been in contact with Fang Ying since she was a child. For so many years, she has always thought that Fang Ying is a relatively traditional full-time wife who may not have done anything before marriage. She did not expect that she used to be the principal violinist of the Jianglin Symphony Orchestra!

"Is it surprising?" Xi Lingyu smiled self-deprecatingly, "It would be great if their band didn't come to Kyoto to perform that year."

During the time of three cups of coffee, Lin Luoluo heard an old-fashioned but extremely realistic story.

Jianglin Fang's family is a typical Jianglin plutocratic family. Mr. Fang had many legitimate and illegitimate children, all of whom were raised in front of him, no different from a large family in feudal society. Fang Ying's mother was Mr. Fang's last wife. Also divorced for various reasons.

Fang Ying grew up in such an environment, but she is full of longing for the beautiful love in fairy tales.

After the performance in Kyoto, the young Fang Ying, faced with the fanatical pursuit of a middle-aged successful man full of mature charm, really thought that she had found love and married happily.After marriage, regardless of the dissuasion of her colleagues, she resolutely quit her job, came to Kyoto alone, and became a full-time wife.

Xi Lingyu said: "I don't know what he was like before marriage, but since I can remember, he has never had so-called love for my mother... Maybe it's because of me."

Xi Lingyu heard about the things before birth from the Xi's family and Fang Ying.Including the fact that when Fang Ying was pregnant, Mr. Xi was looking forward to a younger son, but in the end he gave birth to an unsatisfactory daughter.

"Don't think that way." Lin Luoluo actually didn't know how to comfort her.It's impossible to scold along the way, after all, Fang Ying and Mr. Xi are her biological parents.

"Didn't you get angry yesterday that those people in Xi's family didn't say hello to my mother?" Xi Lingyu said, "When I was young, they did it even more. In the end, my mother asked me to apologize to them."

Hearing what the Xi family did, Lin Luoluo wished she could crush the cup in her hand.

What about "You are the hostess of the house, go to the kitchen to supervise them until the banquet is over, it won't matter if you are hungry", "Although you are the eldest lady of Jiang Linlai, you can marry a chicken as you like. You have to follow the customs of our Kyoto"...

After hearing this, Lin Luoluo couldn't understand why Fang Ying did this.In such an environment, the young daughter defended her, but she actually turned to those top-notch relatives who were arrogant?

Xi Lingyu added: "When I was eight years old, I finally made up my mind to leave Kyoto. Before I left, I asked her if she wanted to go with me."

Obviously, Fang Ying chose to stay.

"She said that she didn't want a divorce, she didn't want to lose this marriage, and she didn't want to end her love." Although nearly 20 years have passed, Xi Lingyu still deeply remembers how humble Fang Ying's tone was that day.

She said: "Lingyu, I beg you, mother. Mom loves your father very much, and mother doesn't want to leave him."

Eight-year-old Xi Lingyu asked: "Even if all of them don't take you seriously? Even if he condones those people to bully you? Even if you don't live happily in this family?"

"Lingyu, you are still young, you don't understand." This was Fang Ying's last answer.

Now she is 28 years old, and she still doesn't understand the "love" in her mother's mouth.

Lin Luoluo didn't understand why Fang Ying did this, but Lin Luoluo understood why Xi Lingyu stopped her last night and said "it's not necessary".After all, the parties themselves chose to do this. As a junior and an outsider, Lin Luoluo really didn't need to make decisions for others.

But after thinking about Fang Ying's upbringing, Lin Luoluo somewhat understood why she was like this.The broken family of origin made her obsessed with a "successful" family, right?

What about Xi Lingyu?Within two seconds of Lin Luoluo's worry popping up, she convinced herself.Xi Lingyu's personality is nothing like Fang Ying's, or rather the opposite?

"Didn't you ask me before why I agreed to your 'marriage proposal'?"

"Huh?" Lin Luoluo didn't know why she brought up this matter again: Didn't she answer it before?

Xi Lingyu smiled slightly: "Because I know that sooner or later I will become a pawn in the Xi family's marriage. So at the beginning, I also wanted to 'use' you."

For Xi Lingyu's frankness, Lin Luoluo was very happy in her heart, and she didn't feel unhappy about being "used" at all.After all, at the beginning, she was just interested in Xi Lingyu and "taking advantage of it a little".

But when it comes to marriage, Lin Luoluo is very depressed: "I don't understand why there is a marriage, what age is it, and this shitty thing about arranged marriages."

"There's no need to understand." Xi Lingyu waved her hand and added another cup of fruit tea to her. "Just understand what you can understand. You don't have to live too transparently in life."

Lin Luoluo was extremely puzzled: "Why?"

"That would be a lot less fun."

"What's the fun?" Lin Luoluo felt that not understanding Mingming would bring a lot of troubles, such as her...

Xi Lingyu just smiled and said nothing.

The more this happened, the more curious Lin Luoluo became, her heart was itchy like being crawled over by ants, she subconsciously said coquettishly, "Just tell me."

"If you say it, it will become boring."

Cursing her lips, Lin Luoluo took a sip of tea and couldn't help biting the rim of the cup: I don't know if I can learn to guess riddles and become smarter if I read more riddle books at this age.

When Lin Chunping sent the address, Lin Luoluo and Xi Lingyu were grabbing dolls by the claw machine, but they were not very lucky, and dozens of coins went in without getting anything.

"Don't drink tonight." Thinking of Xi Lingyu's uncomfortable appearance yesterday, Lin Luoluo said, "No matter what they say, stop drinking."

"it is good."

After taking a taxi to the place, Lin Chunping and his wife had already arrived.

"Who's coming tonight?" Lin Luoluo asked.

"No one, just your uncles, aunts, aunts, uncles, aunts, aunts..."

Hearing so many people, Lin Luoluo felt dizzy: "In previous years, we never ate together, why is it so different this year?"

"You child!" Lin Chunping gave her a blank look, "Isn't it just to congratulate you on your marriage!"

"Then it's fine when we get married together..." Lin Luoluo doesn't like socializing very much, especially socializing with elders, "Mom, let me tell you first, she won't drink tonight."

"She won't drink you."

"I don't drink either." Lin Luoluo shook her head and said, "Alcohol is not a good thing. You can drink one or two to your liking. Whoever likes to drink should drink it. Anyway, I don't drink it."

"Hey, you kid, you're older than the Chinese New Year..."

Lin Luoluo ignored Lin Chunping's words.

Compared with the people in the Xi's family last night, there are really not many relatives from the Lin's family today. They are all brothers and sisters of Lin Chunping and his wife, and the children are also out of town for the New Year and have not come back.

Everyone only sat at one table, and Lin Luoluo and Xi Lingyu, as the only juniors, could only sit at the bottom.

"Have you decided on the wedding venue?" It was Papa Lin's younger sister who was also Lin Luoluo's aunt who asked the question.

Lin Luoluo is actually not familiar with her aunt, so she can't say she likes or dislikes her aunt, so she can only answer obediently: "Not yet."

"This year is a good year. There are a lot of marriages, so we have to make a reservation in advance. Don't have everything ready, but there is no venue."

"Well, thank you, aunt."

After the aunt finished asking, the uncle asked again: "Then you have been living at home since you got married?"

"The house has already been bought, an existing house," Lin Luoluo explained, "Lingyu bought it. But because it was almost Chinese New Year when I bought it, my dad said it was inconvenient to move, so I might as well wait until the Chinese New Year is over before moving."

"There's no rush to move," Lin Chunping said, "Just move before Luo Luo starts school."

The aunt seemed to think of something suddenly, and asked, "Is Luo Luo a junior this year?"

"En." Lin Luoluo replied without delaying her meal.

"What do you plan to do after graduation?"

Without raising her head, Lin Luoluo said, "Let's talk about graduation first, there is still a year and a half left."

Seeing that the topic couldn't go on, my aunt closed her voice.

"By the way, I remember that Xiaoxi's studio is in Jianglin?" Aunt asked.

Xi Lingyu stopped her chopsticks and said, "Yes."

"That Luoluo hasn't graduated yet..."

The uncle seemed to have caught something, and said a little excitedly: "You can't go to another place! Today's young people, once they go to another place, there will definitely be problems with their relationship."

With a smile, Xi Lingyu said, "Don't worry, uncle. Before Luo Luo graduates, I'm already planning to come back to work in Kyoto temporarily."

Why?Lin Luoluo looked at her in surprise.

Blinking at her, Xi Lingyu said nothing.

"That's pretty good." The aunt smiled, "You two majors are similar, and you will support each other in the future. No matter what you do, you must have a lot of common topics."

Lin Luoluo thought to herself: Not really.How can a fool and a riddler have anything in common.

After a few rounds of wine, my aunt asked again, "Have you taken any wedding photos?"

"Not yet." Xi Lingyu said, "I just went to the wedding photography company this afternoon to ask, and the company in Kyoto seems to be unable to accept the same-sex marriage order."

My aunt couldn't help but "tsk" and said: "It's still too feudal in China, let alone same-sex wedding photos abroad, even if you take pictures with an item, there are companies that can take it. If it doesn't work, go abroad to take pictures. Help you contact the company."

"Don't worry, auntie," Lin Luoluo said, "Lingyu has contacted Jianglin's company. Let's see the situation first."

"Then you choose first. If you really can't do it in China, you can go abroad. It happens that your sister hasn't seen you for a long time."

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Although the uncle and his wife were there, after all, the proportion of the number of people was still small, and the dinner was quite pleasant.

When the show was over, my aunt kept saying, "On the day you get married, you must tell me that my aunt will come even if she doesn't want to work."

Lin Luoluo couldn't laugh or cry, and suddenly felt that her personality seemed to have found the source of heredity: "Good aunt, even if I don't invite anyone, I will definitely invite you."

After sending everyone into the car, Lin Luoluo's family boarded the car and went home.

Father Lin drank a lot of wine today, and Lin Chunping didn't give in too much.As soon as he entered the house, Lin's father went directly to the bedroom upstairs to sleep; Lin Chunping went to the underground KTV and sang by himself.

There were only two people left in the living room, Lin Luoluo asked, "Do you really want to stay and work in the capital?"

It was obviously not certain before, why did you suddenly want to stay?Don't you care about those people from the Xi's family anymore?

"Why, not welcome?"

"Of course not!" After finishing speaking, Lin Luoluo felt that her reaction was a bit too much, so she hurried to make amends, "One and a half years is not a short time, won't it delay things?"

"No." Xi Lingyu said, "If there is anything, the company will tell you in advance. When the time comes, I will fly back and come back when I am done."

If the two were real lovers, then Lin Luoluo must have been very touched at the moment, and then leaned over to give her a French kiss to deepen the touch.

But they are not.

"By the way, the photography company information from Jiang Lin has been sent, do you want to see it?"

Lin Luoluo, whose attention was quickly drawn away, immediately said, "We need to see."

"Go upstairs and use the computer to see it more clearly."

After sending the data to Lin Luoluo's computer equipped with a super-large monitor for playing games, Xi Lingyu opened the file: "This is just a more classic one, maybe the style has Jianglin's characteristics."

Lin Luoluo was attracted by the rows of beautiful and romantic photos that could be seen just by looking at the thumbnails.The photos are of many couples, probably a few of the couples were selected as the company's promotional pictures.

Looking at it, the scrolling mouse stopped.

Xi Lingyu turned sideways to take a look and said, "This was taken by my friend before. This company has already taken orders from gay people twice, and the results are not bad, so I just want you to see it."

"It seems that there are only theirs here, not the other pair?" Lin Luoluo had already looked through everything.

"Well, the other pair is in a special situation, so it's not suitable to be used as a promotional picture."

ah?Lin Luoluo couldn't help thinking of several possibilities in her mind, and then felt that such a wild guess was not good, so she quickly withdrew her thoughts: "Then if we want to make an appointment with this company, do we have to go to Jianglin to shoot?"

"Not necessarily, it depends on where you want to go. You can also come to Kyoto, but the weather in Kyoto is still cold, it is better to go to the south."

If possible, Lin Luoluo still wants to go to a warm place to take pictures. After all, the wedding dress should not be covered with too many clothes. As a person who is afraid of the cold, it is really brave to take wedding photos in Kyoto this season.

Lin Luoluo tentatively whispered, "If you don't mind the trouble, I actually want to go to Nanyu Island to shoot."

"Nanyu Island has a nice view, let's go there." Saying that, Xi Lingyu turned on her phone, "What time do you want to make an appointment?"

Looking at the calendar, Lin Luoluo made the calculations. Their school started on the [-]th day of the first month. Lin Chunping asked someone to read the date of the move.Fortunately, it's only the second year of junior high school, so it's not too late.

"About how many days will it take to go back and forth?"

"If it's just shooting, it's about five days back and forth, about three days for shooting, two days back and forth." Xi Lingyu thought for a while and replied, "If you go on the fifth day of the first month at the earliest, you can come back on the tenth day of the first month. But if you want to play there, You can also play for a few more days, and come back after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, without delaying the move."

It sounded very good, Lin Luoluo's eyes sparkled with anticipation: "Then let's go on the fifth day of the lunar new year."

"Okay," Xi Lingyu looked at her undisguised expression, got up and said, "I'll make a phone call to make an appointment."

"Oh, by the way..." Lin Luoluo stopped the person who was about to go to the balcony, "Did you go pick out the clothes?"

"Ask them to send the optional wedding dresses in a while, you can choose them online, and then let them take them directly to Nanyu Island."

"Okay." Lin Luoluo nodded obediently.

Xi Lingyu quickly returned from the phone call, and then transferred the wedding dress picture received in the mobile phone to the computer: "You choose."

"What about you? Don't you choose?"

"I'll go to the study to do some errands. After you finish choosing, I'll choose according to your choice." After speaking, Xi Lingyu got up and left.

Lin Luoluo looked at her leaving back, bit her lower lip: what was she thinking?

However, Lin Luoluo's entanglement didn't last long, and she was soon attracted by the picture of the wedding dress.

When Xi Lingyu came back, four or five smaller windows had been lined up on Lin Luoluo's computer screen, one next to the other without overlapping each other.

"Choice difficulty?" Seeing the window on this screen, Xi Lingyu raised her eyebrows and asked.

"Ah... this one looks really good, so does this one!" Lin Luoluo slid the mouse back and forth over several windows, "And this light green one, so the colorful wedding dresses are so pretty too!"

"Then shoot every set."

"really?"

Xi Lingyu nodded, and moved her head: "Of course, since you want to take a picture, then take a satisfactory one."

In the end, Lin Luoluo sifted through, cut and deleted, kept three sets of wedding dresses, and selected a few small dresses that could not be strictly considered wedding dresses, and sent the list to Xi Lingyu: "I have chosen."

After browsing through the little girl's choices, the corners of Xi Lingyu's mouth turned up slightly: "Are you considering changing careers to study fashion design?"

"Every line is like a mountain," Lin Luoluo said, "I haven't even learned my major well, so let's forget about changing careers."

"If I get a chance, I really want to see your homework."

Hearing this, Lin Luoluo felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy: "No, anything else is fine, but it is absolutely impossible to read homework!"

Every time those weird and ugly assignments were submitted, Lin Luoluo wished that these blueprints would disappear.As soon as the homework is graded, Lin Luoluo will immediately throw the homework into a hidden folder, wishing that this folder will never see the light of day again in this life.

"Then what is 'other' that will do anything?"

Lin Luoluo blushed, "It's just...playing games or something."

"Why are you blushing?" Xi Lingyu approached and pinched her face again, "What are you thinking?"

"No..." Lin Luoluo only felt a little parched, "That's right, just thinking about my homework diagrams, it's... too embarrassing."

"Oh, that's right." Xi Lingyu took a step back slightly, smiling ambiguously.

The author has something to say: Lin Luoluo: Woohoo, why do you have to guess riddles with a fool, I can't guess it!
