My high school school was not far from my neighborhood, and I walked for about ten minutes before returning to the downstairs of the neighborhood.

I looked up and saw that the lights were still on, indicating that my parents should still be watching TV in the living room.

Before going up the stairs, I looked in the mirror of the public toilet in the community. I brushed my hair and clothes and cleaned the dust on my clothes.

I washed my face again to make my tired self look more energetic... When I felt like I was in good spirits right now, I left the mirror, climbed the stairs, and got home...

"Dad, I haven't slept yet. "When I opened the door, I saw my dad sitting at the TV, watching the god-like anti-Japanese drama.

"Hmm. My dad looked up at me, hummed indifferently, and then watched the TV series.

"Where's Mom and the old man?"

"The old man is asleep, and your mother and the strange forces in the community are in a daze, and they don't know which square to run to. Saying that, my dad looked at his watch, frowned again and said, "It's been out all night, why haven't you come back yet." ”

"It's only eight o'clock now, maybe she's playing mahjong with those old ladies now?"

I was also relieved to know that my mom and the old ladies in the neighborhood were out dancing. At least I can wash up and go to bed before she gets home, so I don't have to ask me because I really don't know how to deal with her.

After changing my slippers, I said to my dad again, "Dad, I'll go to the shower and sleep first, don't look too late." With that, I was about to sneak into my room.

"Wait. My dad patted the couch and said, "Come and talk for a while." ”

"Oh. "Although I know that my dad won't be like my mom to take care of my affairs too much, I still feel a little uneasy at the moment.

"Tell me how it's been lately. ”

"That's it. ”

"You don't want to fool me without saying a word, and then perfunctory. My dad's tone became serious.

"How can you make it clear, or I don't know what you're going to ask me. "Seeing my dad's serious face, I don't want to slack off.

During the conversation, I lit a cigarette and handed it to my dad. Unexpectedly, he stopped me, it seems that the last time he said quit smoking in the hospital, he really made up his mind...

"Tell me, how much have I managed your affairs over the years since you were a child... When you were in love in high school, I know I didn't say anything about you... When you learn to smoke, drink, and club, I also turn a blind eye. You're going to quit your job in Shenzhen, and I've said a lot of good things for you in front of your mother..."

"Dad, I know all this, just tell me what you want to say. I interrupted him.

"You are also 26 years old this year, and you are not too young, and you know what the old man's health is like. His biggest wish now is that you can settle down and start a family as soon as possible... Of course, your mom and I think the same way... At that time, when you were in the hospital, didn't the old man give you 300,000 yuan? With this money, you should have no problem buying a two-bedroom house on the outskirts of our city and paying a down payment. If it's not enough, your mother and I will find a way. ”

Saying that, my dad put his hand on my shoulder again: "Although I don't know if you have a favorite girl now, but there is a house, and when the time comes, you can meet a girl who looks at each other, and you can also give the girl a sense of security, right?"

… …

My father's words made me ponder, and I didn't understand what he was saying. But for me who has achieved nothing now, how dare I think about starting a family with the girl I like.

Besides, I don't want to spend all their hard-earned money on me. But when will I be able to earn money to buy a house by guarding such a small hotel every day?

Although I always reassure myself that as long as I am willing to work hard, this day will not be too far away... But if you really have to think about it and give yourself an exact time, I'm not sure.

Seeing that I had been silent, my dad picked up my cigarette case and lit a cigarette for himself...

"What about you? ”

Leaning on the sofa, he was silent for a while before he said, "Dad, can this matter be slowed down and pressed back." ”

"Wait a minute, you'll have to give us an exact time... I can respect your choice for anything else, but you have to put it on the agenda. ”

"But where am I going to find you the girl I like? ”

"I think that Miss Su is good. My dad said, smiling with satisfaction.

"She's good, but I'm just ordinary friends with her. ”

After hearing my dad's words, I couldn't help but sneer at myself... Would a woman as good as her really take a fancy to me? What's more, I don't even know how I feel about her.

Even if she's interesting to me, I'm interesting to her. But I couldn't face her, especially her family. Just what her mother said to me at the café doomed our relationship. It's hard to even be an ordinary friend...

"Tell me something, and you'll understand. ”

"What's the matter?" I looked at my dad suspiciously.

"Since the old man was discharged from the hospital, Miss Su came to see the old man whenever she was free, and she was also very concerned about us... If it weren't for her, your mother wouldn't have let you keep messing around with a hotel in Moon Bay, and I tell you from the experience of people who have come before that Miss Su's concern for you has long exceeded the scope of ordinary friends. ”

My dad's words made me ponder again, and in my perception, Su Yi is not the kind of person who likes to meddle. She ignores all other people's affairs. Now that I've heard my dad's words, I have to think about it again.

Although I have a good relationship with Su Yi, I don't often come to see the old man, after all, she is the CEO of a large company, and she usually has a lot of things to do, so where can she have time to accompany the old man.

"Dad, Su Yi's matter is not as simple as you think, the gap between us is too big. But I will think about what you just said, and give you a satisfactory answer as soon as possible, I am a little tired, so I will take a shower and sleep first. ”

I picked up the cigarette case on the table and headed into the room. The moment I entered the room, my dad stopped me again:

"Xiuwen, there are many things in this world that can be lived up to, but you really can't live up to it, and you can't live up to it, think about it yourself. ”

"Got it..."

After taking a shower, I lay motionless on the bed like dead. Except for my heart beating from time to time, I feel like I'm a dead man at the moment...

My father's words, Su Yi's face, kept dangling in front of my eyes.

Whenever I wanted to ponder what I really felt about Su Yi in my heart, what Su Yi's mother said to me reproduced in my ears again and again. I don't even have the courage to think about her.

This huge gap in the family forced me to recognize the form in front of me.

But what my dad said was only one-sided, maybe Su Yi is the kind of person who is particularly iron to his friends. I need to make sure how she feels about me so I can figure out how I'm going to face her in the future...

This night, I also had complete insomnia. In insomnia, I took out my phone and saw that two contacts had messaged me. One is Yao Shan's and the other is Su Yi's.

Yao Shan's message was to tell me not to forget to accompany the blind daughter-in-law to the hospital with her tomorrow for a physical examination. Then I replied to her, no problem.

After closing Yao Shan's chat window, I opened the message Su Yi sent me again.

"When are you free tomorrow, can you accompany me to the mall? By the way, I will settle the room rates of those customers of our company who stay at your hotel. ”

Su Yi's message came at the right time, and I can also take this opportunity to test her...

After thinking about it for a while, I replied to her: "Okay, tomorrow I will accompany the blind daughter-in-law to the hospital to check her body first, and then I will contact you then." ”

After sending the message, I looked at the time again, it was already past one o'clock in the morning, turned off my phone, I lit another cigarette and walked to the window.

It was only a moment later that my phone lit up again, and I wondered who was still messaging me so late.

I opened my phone and looked, and it was Su Yi who replied to me.

"Okay, remember to contact me then. ”

"Okay. After thinking about it, I typed a string of words on the screen again: "It's so late, why haven't you slept yet?"

"I'll go to sleep now, good night. Su Yi also added a moon emoji to her reply.

After saying goodnight to her, I stood by the window again, thinking about it.
