Xiaoyu, go wash the dishes. ”

Liu Yarong looked at the almost eaten meal on the table, raised her head and shouted at Tong Yu.

"Huh?" Tong Yu was stunned for a moment, and looked at her with a resentful expression, "Mom, I'm not still eating......"

"How much have you eaten!" Liu Yarong rolled her eyes, "Wrap it in plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator, don't eat so much at a meal, it's not good for your stomach." ”

"Okay......"

Tong Yu nodded helplessly, and took advantage of Liu Yarong's inattention to eat a few bites of beef before reluctantly standing up and putting the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen.

The sound of the water in the sink was so loud that he couldn't hear what Liu Yarong and Ai Xin said for a while. But he doesn't care either, and when it comes to it, he still says that he doesn't know anything or something, so that Ai Xin is more tolerant and accommodating.

He has always felt that he has supported this family at a young age, how can he be regarded as a child of a poor family who has already been in charge, I don't know what Liu Yarong thinks, every time he chats with Ai Xin, he talks about his shortcomings or troubles, is it true that he plans to let the two of them break up.

"Hahaha......"

Ai Xin's hearty laughter came from the restaurant, causing Tong Yu to itch for a while, he finished brushing the dishes in the pool three times and dividing them by two, took off his gloves and walked into the restaurant.

"Say what?"

Tong Yu glanced at Liu Yarong and Ai Xin, who was laughing, and couldn't help but ask.

"Tell me about you when you were a kid. ”

"Well, Auntie said that when you were working in a restaurant, two sisters molested you, but you didn't know what to do, so you ran all the way back from the restaurant to find Auntie...... Hahaha......"

Ai Xin was halfway through speaking, and felt funny again, and laughed out loud in front of Tong Yu.

Looking at Ai Xin's appearance, Tong Yu felt embarrassed for a while, but her arrogance made Tong Yu even more worried.

The last time he saw Ai Xin disregard for his image was ...... The time Ai Xin was drunk......

Thinking of this, Tong Yu instantly blushed, because he couldn't help kissing Ai Xin that time, it was still his first kiss...... But now these careful thoughts of his own are obviously not so important, because he has rarely seen Ai Xin drink like this, and he has learned from Tao Li's mouth that Ai Xin is drunk ...... It doesn't seem so normal.

"Mom, what are you talking about? Tong Yu pursed his lips, sat down beside Ai Xin, looked at her somewhat drifting eyes, and confirmed his thoughts, "You too, don't drink anymore, what has become of you." ”

"Oh, I'm having fun today!"

Ai Xin waved his hand, picked up the cup in front of him, and poured another cup while Tong Yu was not paying attention.

"Yes, yes, happy today!"

Liu Yarong learned Ai Xin's tone and echoed.

"Mom, don't make a mess with it. Ai Xin can't drink very much, so you ask her to drink less. ”

Tong Yu stroked his forehead, looked at the old and young women who didn't let him worry, sighed heavily again, and felt deep powerlessness.

"I can't drink it? Who said I can't drink it? I can drink it the most, Tong Yu, you forgot, you play with Su Ya and them, and I drink the wine!"

Ai Xin yelled very dissatisfied, pointed at Tong Yu, and almost slipped off the chair.

"You sit down for me!"

Tong Yu stretched out his hand to grab Ai Xin, fixed her on the chair again, and glared at her again, Ai Xin, who was in a daze, really sat obediently on the chair, with her back straight, looking at Tong Yu with a praising expression.

"Xiaoyu, you're outside...... Let Xiao Ai drink for you?"

Liu Yarong frowned slightly, staring at Tong Yu, and there seemed to be some dissatisfaction in her eyes.

"It's not for her to drink for me...... Tong Yu took a breath, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while, "Su Ya, you also know them, love to coax, and then Ai Xin can also drink, the two of us just play games and drink, and take turns to ......"

"Didn't you just say that Xiao Ai can't drink it?"

Liu Yarong raised her eyebrows, and a trace of puzzlement appeared on her face.

“……”

Tong Yu knew that sooner or later he would go around in a circle. He doesn't understand, he usually can't come back so quickly when he tells a lie, how does Ai Xin tell every lie seamlessly?

But now it seems that it is not perfect, at least every time I collect information and analyze it carefully, I can still find out the loopholes of Ai Xin.

"Mom, let's not talk about this now, Ai Xin is really much now, really, I've seen how much she drinks. Don't let her drink it yet, can I put her in and sleep?"

"Yes, yes...... However, our house only has two rooms, which room are you going to let Xiao Ai sleep in?"

"My room. Tong Yu looked at Liu Yarong without hesitation, "I'll just sleep in the living room for one night, don't you just leave her to sleep for one night?"

"One night?" Liu Yarong looked at Tong Yu thoughtfully, "Are you in such a hurry to drive people away?"

"It's not...... She may have something to do in Beijing, but she seems to be very tired lately, and she doesn't pay much attention to eating or anything, I'm afraid that she will delay here for a few more days, and she will be anxious when she returns to Beijing. ”

"Well, you still care about Xiao Ai, I don't know she hasn't paid attention to eating lately. ”

Liu Yarong grabbed the sore foot, couldn't help laughing, and looked at Tong Yu with a treacherous look.

“…… Okay Mom, say whatever you like, I'll get her to sleep first, and I'll clean up the table in a while, you don't care. ”

After speaking, Tong Yu didn't wait for Liu Yarong to respond, so he skillfully carried Ai Xin on his shoulders and went all the way back to the bedroom.

It's probably been a long time since I've had contact with Ai Xin like this, Tong Yu feels that Ai Xin's weight seems to be lighter, and the last time I got her back like this was when she came home from an injury in the hospital.

It seems that she is indeed very busy during this time, and she has not eaten well, so that her already malnourished body can lose weight again. Speaking of which, when she watched Ai Xinlai during the day, her face seemed to be quite haggard, and she may not have rested well recently.

put Ai Xin on the bed and covered her with a quilt, and Tong Yu realized the reason why she was not resting well.

In the months that she didn't know, Ai Xin probably traveled back and forth between T City and Beijing countless times.

She has to keep in touch with Tao Li and them at any time, and it is estimated that there are still many big and small affairs in the work that she needs to deal with. Tong Yu could feel that Tao Li was not very reliable.

On the one hand, he is in love with himself 24 hours a day, and when he is at home, he can appear on the table on time for three meals a day, and there are almost no repeated dishes, he doesn't know how much time and effort Ai Xin spends on it every day. When she went to the crew to film, Ai Xin was never idle, she got herself some snacks and health soup every three or five days, and even went to the crew to visit the class, and it took three or four hours to drive back and forth from the crew back to the city.

In addition, it is necessary to take into account the situation in T City at all times. Liu Yarong is old, with major and minor illnesses, she must always pay attention to whether Liu Yarong eats well, what she eats, and whether she exercises...... As soon as Liu Yarong entered the hospital, Ai Xin had to fly from Beijing immediately, whether it was night or early morning, she always rushed to catch the nearest flight.

Tong Yu knew that Ai Xin's had stopped for a long time, and her Weibo had hardly been updated, and he thought that he was probably going to put all his energy on the "centrifugal gravity" with Tao Li.

But he didn't think that after Ai Xin was with him, the main energy was actually spent on himself and his mother, almost living around himself, and he didn't even have time to do the things she loved.

Not only that, but she never complained, and she did these things relentlessly, and she didn't even say a word to herself.

And he didn't notice the tiredness on Ai Xin's face in the past, and never cared about her work, her time, and her hobbies. Even when she was helping her take care of her mother, she was still angry at her like that, but Ai Xin didn't say a word to defend herself.

If he really cares about Liu Yarong enough, if he really takes good care of Liu Yarong, how can he need Ai Xin to run around day and night like this?

In the final analysis, it was his own negligence, and he used the excuse of being busy with work to shirk all the responsibilities on himself, but he blamed Ai Xin for these things.

"Tong Yu?"

Just when he was thinking about summarizing the recent events by himself, Ai Xin had already woken up, leaned on the head of the bed, and looked at him with some surprise.

"Huh?" Tong Yu was stunned, "You woke up so quickly?"

"I told you I was talented. ”

Ai Xin made a joke, but the expression on Tong Yu's face was still worried, probably feeling that his joke was not quite timely, Ai Xin lowered his head and fell silent again.

"You've drunk too much, take a good rest, I'll go out first. ”

Tong Yu stood up and was about to go out, but Ai Xin grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"That ......" Ai Xin blushed, and he didn't know if it was because of alcohol or shyness, he hesitated for a few seconds and opened his mouth hesitantly, "Later...... Stay here for a while. ”

Ai Xin's appearance reminded Tong Yu that when she first met her, she was like a girl who had never been in the world, full of curiosity and shyness about everything, which made Tong Yu unable to bear to say no matter what.

"Hmm. ”

Tong Yu answered, pulled out the clothes that Ai Xin was holding in his hand, sat on the carpet next to the bed, and looked at her quietly.

"That oil painting ......" Ai Xin suddenly opened his mouth and pointed to the frame of Tong Yu's painting on the wall, "I've been painting on and off for more than two months, it's pretty good, right?"

"Well, it's pretty good. Tong Yu nodded, "I think it should have been painted by myself, but I didn't expect it to be you, you will have quite a lot." ”

"That's it. Ai Xin chuckled, a proud expression on his face, "My grandfather is a painter, and he is very good at painting. I studied with him when I was a child, and I studied for many years...... Then my grandfather passed away, and I didn't draw much anymore. ”

"Hmm. ”

For such a topic, Tong Yu felt that it was more appropriate for him to listen quietly, after all, it was many years ago, and it didn't make much sense for him to say anything comforting at this time.

"Later, at the funeral home where my grandfather was funeral, I attended my father's funeral. ”

“……”

Tong Yu raised his head, not knowing why Ai Xin suddenly talked about it at this time, but he felt that he should say something. He also experienced such a major event as the death of his father, but he was too young at the time to even remember his father's face.

"Tong Yu. ”

Before he could speak, Ai Xin called out his name again, leaving him with no choice but to look directly at Ai Xin.

"So, I want to tell you...... I know very well what it feels like to have a loved one pass away, and I understand the fear of the unknown, and I know how frightening and scary it is to worry about the safety of my parents. I was just...... I'm sorry, I know I went too far this time, I shouldn't hide it from you anyway, I just ...... Auntie is a very nice person, she makes me feel like I'm back home, I can't refuse her request, and I don't want you to worry...... I thought, I thought I could handle it...... Sorry ......"

"Don't say it. ”

Tong Yu broke off her back and apologized with a little whimpering, but she couldn't say the sentence "I didn't blame you" in her mouth anyway.

"When you couldn't say it before, you wanted me to say it. I'm going to say it now, but you told me to stop it. ”

Ai Xin's smile was bleak that Tong Yu had never seen before, his eyes scattered into the distance, he sighed almost inaudibly, and lowered his head.

"Tong Yu, what the hell are you...... What do you want me to do......"

"I didn't ...... either It's just that I was also angry at that time, calm down and think about it, in fact, there is nothing wrong with you. ”

"Oh. Ai Xin looked at him and nodded, "Now in this scene, am I begging for forgiveness, or are you begging for forgiveness?"

“……”

Tong Yu was stunned, he didn't expect that he would be seen through by Ai Xin with a word, is this guy really drunk?

"It's nothing, if you don't want to talk, don't talk. Ai Xin felt Tong Yu's silence, trying to find a trace of Tong Yu's subtext from this silence.

"No, it's just...... I don't know what to say. ”

Tong Yu raised his head to look at Ai Xin, shrugged his shoulders, and smiled helplessly.

"I always felt like a first-grader lying to a teacher in front of you. ”

"Oh?" Ai Xin smiled, "I really wanted to be a teacher before." ”

"That's pretty good, too. Tong Yu responded from the bottom of his heart, he really likes this ordinary and stable career and life.

"That's right. ”

As if remembering something, Ai Xin suddenly pulled his hand out of the quilt and pulled up the sleeve of his knitted sweater, revealing his slender wrist, on which was tied a black leather rope, and there was a bead carved from jade on the rope.

She took off the leather rope and handed it to Tong Yu's hand: "You take this." I think...... I guess you haven't thought about a lot of things right now, so when you think about it, give it back to me. Or is it...... Wear it by your side and keep a memory......"

"Huh?" Tong Yu looked at the bracelet in his palm, blinked, raised his head and looked at Ai Xin, "I thought you were coming this time...... I have to say why. ”

"Tong Yu, I'm not a fool. Ai Xin pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled reluctantly, but it looked even more miserable, "I have already disappointed you, I don't want to, you will let yourself down too." ”
