"No, no, my mother made a mistake. I'll hang up first. I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Under such circumstances, is it okay to let my mother talk to Chen Sulei?Su Xiaoyu cut off the call resolutely, then held the phone and shook her head to beg her mother for mercy, "Mom, let me explain, you can ask whatever you want, Dad, you go to bed first, I will tell my mother."

That night, Su Xiaoyu bowed her head in her room and obediently confessed everything that happened before. After listening to it for a long time, her mother choked up sobs when she finally spoke, wiping her eyes while talking.

"I knew that the matter your father created would not be solved so easily. After all, it was such a large sum of money. At that time, I was worried that your new boss had plans for you. Otherwise, who would want to Come up with so much money to help us all at once? Xiaoyu, you’ve been wronged for so long, why didn’t you tell your parents? Sigh, it’s useless for us two old ones, and in the end we didn’t even keep our own daughter.”

Mother sobbed and talked at length, Su Xiaoyu was dumbfounded, and stammered to clarify, "Mom, what I just said didn't make sense, you misheard."

"What's wrong!" Mom suddenly became angry, "I said you were brought up by me, how could you mess around outside without telling us! Where is that man? I'll go and explain to him now, there are two What's so great about stinky money? At worst, we'll sell the house and give it back to him, and you don't want to see this kind of person again. If you're dating in an upright manner, what can't we see? You know he's not married? You know Didn't he find another young girl out there? You know he's not playing with you?"

"I..." I didn't expect my mother's reaction to be so intense. Su Xiaoyu panicked and grabbed her mother's arm in a hurry, "No, he doesn't have a wife, nor, no...that me, yes I wanted to be with him myself."

"You can say that, are you trying to piss me off?!" Mom stood up and stared at her. Su Xiaoyu's room was small, and the two of them were sitting on the edge of the bed talking. There is a small place next to the pillow, so when Su Xiaoyu looked up, she could only see her mother's face in the shadow that the light couldn't reach, her eyes were full of disappointment and shock.

I thought that my mother might react violently, but I never thought that her reaction would be so violent. With a "buzz", Su Xiaoyu's whole head was in a daze.

Anyway, after finally promising her mother that she would have a clear talk with "that man" tomorrow, Su Xiaoyu was finally let go temporarily, the time was already pointing to the early morning, she let out a long breath after getting under the covers, and then forced herself to close her eyes.

This day was full of climaxes, and at the end, she added the emotional lecture from her mother just now, Su Xiaoyu closed her eyes, but how could she sleep?

My mother looked at her eyes very clearly in the dark, and she couldn't hide it no matter what, she didn't know what would happen in the future, but she just felt sad, so sad that her heart seemed to be rubbed hard, and the pain was unbearable.

The room was quiet again, and the sound of the beating second hand of the wall clock was infinitely amplified. No matter how difficult the time was, the time passed by every minute. When I opened my eyes again, it was already dawn. There was a noise in the kitchen. It should be my mother making breakfast. There is also the voice of whispering with my father, telling him to check the time, and wake up his daughter when the time comes, so don't go to bed late.

I don’t know why the sound I’m used to hearing every morning feels endless and far away today. She used to like to lie on the bed and listen to her parents talking about whether to wake her up. Sometimes she deliberately stayed in bed, just to listen for a while The sound of their conversation.

Surrounded by such trivial and warm voices, she always felt that she was back when she was a child, someone would always worry about her, and someone would always love her, but now she suddenly felt scared, afraid that she would always be a child in their hearts. Mother sad little child.

The conversation outside was still going on, and they couldn't hear anything unusual in their voices through the door. Su Xiaoyu gradually got lucky, or was everything just a nightmare?She fell asleep when she got home last night. All that was just a nightmare caused by her excessive worry. Her parents never talked to her at all.

There was a light knock on the door, and my father's voice said, "Xiaoyu, don't you want to get up yet? You have to go to the company after breakfast, come out quickly, you are so big and you still stay in bed?"

"She didn't stay in bed. I scolded her a few times at night, so she didn't dare to come out." Mom added next to her.

It turned out that it wasn't a dream... Su Xiaoyu, who had just kindled some hope, fell to the bottom again.

Before she got up, the phone rang again. She was afraid that her mother would come to search the phone in the middle of the night to check her call records, so she pressed it under the pillow. The sound, with music in the background, seems to be driving.

"Xiaoyu, suddenly want to go to Tang Palace for morning tea, come together, I'll be there soon, I'll pick you up."

There was a door panel, and Su Xiaoyu knew that her mother couldn't hear it, but Su Xiaoyu's first reaction was to be frightened, and she answered very anxiously, and then lowered her voice to the lowest level, "No, don't come to pick me up, I will Just go."

Breakfast is soy milk and steamed buns that Su Xiaoyu is very familiar with. Su's father and Su's mother have lived in Shanghai for so many years, but they have never changed their eating habits. Now that we are back in Shanghai, the family of three starts with a bowl of soy milk every day.

The old habit of her family for so many years, of course Su Xiaoyu likes this one. Every morning when she drinks soy milk with added sugar, she will feel comfortable and smooth, but the atmosphere at home is not good this morning, and she is thinking about Chen Sulei again. That phone call, I didn't dare to look at my mother, Su Xiaoyu drank the soy milk in a hurry, like pouring a cricket, almost choked, and when I put down the bowl, the sugar was in the last bit of soy milk before it had time to melt, and it was white. A share.

It was rare to see her daughter in such a hurry, Su's father felt distressed, stood up and gave Su Xiaoyu a paper bag containing steamed buns, and advised her, "What's the rush, it's still early, eat slowly, no one at home is urging you."

Su Xiaoyu took the steamed stuffed bun, but still didn't dare to look at her mother who was silent all the time, she looked at her father and whispered, "Dad, I'll leave early to avoid traffic jams."

"Tell her to go early and make it clear earlier, Xiaoyu, don't forget what I told you last night." Mom also stood up, talking and clearing away the dishes.

Just as Su Xiaoyu walked to the door, she opened the door with one hand and was still holding onto the bag of buns with the other. Just as she was about to say goodbye, she choked and almost choked.

Fortunately, my father came over and just blocked my mother's sight, turned his back to his wife and winked at his daughter, and said, "Then go, go out early and get to the company early."

When going down the stairs, Su Xiaoyu looked back, the door of the house was not closed, and her father was still standing in the door looking at her. Ever since he failed in stock trading and almost built the family house, his father has aged a lot. He used to be round and chubby , always looking cheerful, but now half of his hair is gray, and he is always a little cautious when talking at home.

I don't know why my mother thinks that way, and I don't know if my mother will blame my father again for this. Thinking about it, Su Xiaoyu gradually stopped walking, and suddenly wanted to run back and explain to her mother again, at least let her know, she My daughter is enjoying a relationship, and she is not inexplicably with a man because she has to pay back the money.

Just as I was about to turn around, the phone rang again, and it was Su Lei who said, "I'm here, come out."

Su Xiaoyu's new house is on the edge of the outer ring road, which is naturally very far away from the city center. There are only a dozen small high-rise buildings in the community, and most of them live in residents who have been demolished from other districts. The driveways in the community are not considered wide. There is also an underground garage, but because there is a fee, many owners park their cars directly on both sides of the driveway. Since it is free, of course no one cares about it. There are occasional incidents of grabbing seats, and there are also parking everywhere, leaving a narrow passageway As small as a line, no other car can drive past it.

He is very familiar with the situation here, and he didn't intend to drive in this morning to join in the fun. The car stopped at the gate of the community. The weather was not very good, gloomy with light rain, as fine as needles, and the windshield wiped quickly after the wiper stopped. It was covered with a layer of white light, and the whole world became misty when looking out.

The heater was still running, the windows were not open, and he just felt stuffy sitting in the car. After putting down the phone, he simply opened the door and got out of the car.The coat was still on the back seat of the car, and the cold December wind brought rain, making it icy cold.

Someone ran out from the community, it was Su Xiaoyu, it was cold, she was wearing a gray hooded coat, she was full of student spirit, her umbrella was in her hand but she didn't open it, she walked hurriedly, she ran to the gate of the community to stand and look around, she saw him again Start running, straight in the direction where he is.

The fine rain was like a mist, and even when he looked at her, he felt hazy, it was just a small gray shadow, but it was such a small and fuzzy shadow that made him feel warm.

He looked for her when he woke up last night. In such a big bed, she only took up a small corner when she was there, but there was such a big contrast when she was not there. The parts not covered by her body were all cold and empty. One piece, dialed her, she answered with an abnormal tone, and said that there was something at home, and before hanging up, she heard another old female voice ringing next to her.

After the phone was hung up, he wanted to find her immediately and ask her what happened?But he stopped as soon as his body moved, surprised at his own impulse.

She said something happened at home, and that her mother had misheard.Since it is a family matter, what is he going to do?Involved in her household chores?Or chat with her parents?What an ill thought.

In his life, he seldom does something without careful consideration. He hates the feeling of being out of control the most. The more he hates the occasion, the more he wants to be alone, lest he be overwhelmed by the so-called sense of success.

This kind of self-control and sobriety is the result of accumulating wealth for so many years. I didn’t expect to be so impetuous now. Last time I flew to France alone to calm down. Again and again, always because of her.

A lesson learned from the past, a painful experience, isn't it enough to teach us a lesson?Do you want to do it again?
After he stopped, he worked all night, looked at several feasible plans, and turned on the computer to do some data verification. The numbers always calmed him down, and he gradually concentrated on it. When he looked up, he found that it was dawn, and he stood up and went to the kitchen to pour water. There are two milky white porcelain bowls staggered on the draining rack. This is Su Xiaoyu's habit. She doesn't like to dry the dishes after washing them. She likes to turn the dishes upside down and let them dry slowly by themselves.

After a glance, he picked up the cup and turned to go to the living room. When he passed the coffee table, he put it down again. There were books and magazines scattered on the coffee table, as well as his watch and car keys. It looked like a still life picture in the morning light.

Without sitting down, he stooped to pick up the car keys, opened the door and walked out.

Su Xiaoyu has good eyes, and she can see Chen Sulei from a long distance. Even in rainy days, dazzling things are always difficult to avoid being noticed. When she ran over, she thought in her mind to get out of the sight of her parents no matter what. Besides, he was in a hurry, and when he opened his mouth in front of him, he was gasping for breath and unable to speak, so he reached out and grabbed him.

He looked down at her, there seemed to be many mixed emotions in his dark eyes, but they settled down for a moment, he shook her hand behind his back, and asked, "What's wrong? What are you running for?"

She ran until her cheeks were flushed, her breath was white mist, and her almond-like eyes were anxious, but before she spoke, she looked down at his hand, "I'll talk about it in the car, okay? Su Lei, your hand It's cold."

He was almost pushed into the car by her, and he didn't rush to start it, so he asked her again, "What's wrong?"

Su Xiaoyu looked out of the car window, and was still a little out of breath when speaking, "Hurry up and drive, I'm afraid my parents will see us."

"Your parents?" He was taken aback for a rare moment.

Su Xiaoyu lamented, with a worried and pitiful look on his face.

"Yes, my mother was so angry when she found out that I was not working overtime but staying with you last night, she missed me all night."

He froze for a moment again, the chaotic emotions that had been circling in his mind for a long time suddenly disappeared, he felt relieved, and even smiled.

Su Xiaoyu was dumbfounded by his reaction, could he be stimulated?No way, she has been trained all night and still hasn't become abnormal like this.

"Don't laugh, my mother is really angry, what should I do in the future?"

Her face was distressed, and he smiled deeper. When he spoke, he bent his mouth and reached out to rub her cheek, saying, "What should I do? Idiot, am I not here?"

what to do?am i not here?

What's the meaning?She didn't understand.

Chen Sulei's way of speaking has always been elusive, the language is very cryptic, and he likes to go round and round, but Su Xiaoyu has never felt so confused like this time, he couldn't figure it out and had to keep thinking, until he sat down at the dining table and didn't think of a reason. Come.

He was in a good mood. He looked down at the menu that the lady gave him, and when he was making some snacks, he asked if today's pigeon was good.How long do I need to wait?

The restaurant is on the second floor of the hotel, the seats are by the window, and the outside is facing the hotel garden. The plants are well taken care of, and there is no depression in winter, but this morning the wind is strong, the branches and leaves are shaking, and there are little rain marks on the glass. Looking out, I only feel the wind and rain.

"Little fish?" He finished ticking, and finally called her.

Still didn't understand what he meant, Su Xiaoyu decided to give up, the lady brought tea, she grabbed the cup and started from the beginning, "Su Lei, last night I..."

She has a good ability to generalize, and the whole thing is not complicated, but she always feels awkward when talking about it, and she has to consider the wording, which is inevitably a bit intermittent.

He listened to her quietly before finally responding—nodding simply and saying, "It's okay, don't worry."

She straightened her eyes and stared at him, "Su Lei, did you listen to me carefully, my mother is very angry, she is afraid..."

There are many things that mother is afraid of, some are understandable, some are really absurd, Su Xiaoyu spent a long time talking about this when she said it just now, and now she is in a hurry, and she is even more unclear.

When the steamed food came up, he held the shrimp dumpling for her, dipped it in vinegar, and put it in her open mouth. The movements were natural and smooth, and he didn't smile when he spoke.

"I know what she's afraid of. Xiaoyu, how long have we known each other?"

I don't know why he asked this question, but she still answered, with the shrimp dumpling in her mouth, her voice was vague, "A year or so."

"It hasn't arrived yet." He put down his chopsticks and looked at her. "The first time I saw you was in March. You were eating lunch alone in the green space. You made a sandwich yourself. You asked me if I wanted to eat it? When I was eating, I still glared at me." , Why is this person so thick-skinned in his eyes?" He said eloquently, and when he said the last sentence, he suddenly smiled, his eyes curled up, and his expression was gentle.

She naturally remembers every second of the details, but she didn't expect him to remember it too, let alone he would repeat it to her in such detail. , no matter what.

"At that time, were you afraid of me?" He still smiled and asked again.

She shook her head.

how come?With such beautiful memories, the bitter wind and rain outside the window have become tender and soft. He has always been good to her, and she has always known it.

"So don't use it now, I'm here, don't worry, you don't need it, and neither does your mother. Find a time and I'll treat them to dinner."

He finally concluded, then raised his chopsticks and continued with morning tea.

And she was completely stunned, holding half a mouthful of shrimp dumplings that she didn't have time to swallow, her mouth puffed out, she looked really small.
