On the way back from Zhejiang, Shi Nan looked even more distressed than the shooting just now, Xiao Tu asked strangely: "Nan Nan, what are you thinking, why are you so sad?"

Shi Nan looked at the time: "I knew that the shooting would end early, we should have booked a restaurant in advance to celebrate your birthday, but it is too late to order food at this time, and it is too late to rush back to cook again." ”

Xiao Tu smiled softly: "Just for this matter? Actually, it doesn't matter, it's better to stay at home and eat casually when you go out to eat, it's enough for you to accompany me." ”

"It's the first time I've celebrated Mr. Xiao's birthday, and I also want to have a sense of ceremony, so that Mr. Xiao can remember it for a lifetime!" said Shi Nan, holding his head.

"It's not easy for me to remember it for a lifetime?" Xiao Tu slyly hooked the corners of his mouth.

"Huh?" Heather looked up.

Xiao Tu said: "It's better for us to go directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the certificate in a while." ”

Shi Nan's eyes widened, and his face turned red instantly: "Xiao, what are you talking about, Teacher Xiao!"

Xiao Tu couldn't help laughing: "Look at your sad face, teasing you, of course you have to pick a good day to get the certificate, and the Civil Affairs Bureau has already been off work at this time." ”

Just as the two were talking and laughing, Xiao Tu's mobile phone rang, and seeing the caller ID, Xiao Tu and Shi Nan were quiet.

"Your mother, pick it up!" Shi Nan urged.

Xiao Tu then pressed the answer button: "Mom......"

Xiao Tu's mother's voice was still like a pool of hot springs, coming out of the Bluetooth speaker: "Xiaotu, happy birthday." ”

Shi Nan saw Xiao Tu's hand holding the steering wheel stiff for a moment, and then returned to normal: "Thank you, Mom." ”

"Is Miss Shi by your side?" asked Xiao Tu's mother.

"In. Xiao Tu responded.

"Grandpa and grandma have been talking about it for a day, do you want to come back for dinner? Xiao Tu's mother said.

Xiao Tu suddenly fell silent, stepped on the brakes in front of the red light, and turned his head to look at Shi Nan.

Shi Nan reached out and shook Xiao Tu's hand, and said, "Okay, aunt, we are on the way, and we will be back in a while." ”

"Okay, be careful when you drive. The other side hung up the phone, but Shi Nan could hear that Xiao Tu's mother's voice had obviously changed slightly just now.

The green light turned on, the car restarted, Xiao Tu smiled and curled the corners of his mouth: "It's good that someone helps me make a choice." ”

"My mother said that my birthday is her Good Friday, so my birthday must be celebrated with my mother!" Shi Nan glanced at Xiao Tu clearly, "I just said what Teacher Xiao wanted." ”

"You......" Xiao Tu shook his head helplessly.

Two hours later, Xiao Tu and Shi Nan finally arrived at Xiao Tu's door, they heard the movement, and just parked the car, they saw their grandparents come out, and then they saw Xiao Tu's mother behind them, and everyone came out to greet this battle, which was indeed a little scary.

"Grandparents, why did you come out, how cold it is outside!" Xiao Tu and Shi Nan helped the old man to walk into the house.

Grandma Xiao Tu said happily: "Old man, just say that you want to make the children worry, you have to come out to pick it up, I heard that you are coming back, one night, your grandfather and he have run in and out several times!"

"Nonsense, I felt stuffy in the room, so I came out to breathe. "Grandpa Xiao Tu doesn't admit it.

When he entered the house, he saw a table of sumptuous meals, including seafood that Xiao Tu likes to eat, and pastries that Shi Nan likes to eat, which are obviously carefully prepared for the two of them to come back.

"You haven't eaten yet, go wash your hands!" Grandma Xiao Tu said with a smile.

"Actually, the crew ate a little ......," Xiao Tu said.

"But hungry again. Heather added.

Xiao Tu's mother's expression also fluctuated imperceptibly with these two sentences.

Just like Shi Nan said, the things eaten in the crew have long been consumed with the hard shooting, at first I didn't feel very hungry because of the high-speed bumps all the way, people were dizzy and panicked, but now I suddenly have an appetite again when I look at the table full of food.

"I heard Wanying say, today you went to shoot for her TV program to shoot location promotion?" Xiao Tu's mother suddenly asked.

"Well, there I went. Xiao Tu was almost full, picked up a tissue and wiped his mouth.

Xiao Tu's mother nodded, as if she wanted to say something more, but finally chose to remain silent.

At this time, Shi Nan said with great interest: "Mr. Xiao is so powerful! At first, no matter how I filmed, I couldn't find the feeling, so Mr. Xiao patiently told me the shooting skills, and after a scene with Mr. Xiao, I felt much smoother!"

"Oh, what did you all shoot?" asked Xiao Tu's mother.

"The script is like this......" Shi Nan told the ins and outs of the shooting, Xiao Tu's mother also listened quietly, occasionally nodded and put forward some of her own opinions, until Shi Nan finished speaking, Xiao Tu's mother proposed to take the cake and prepare to blow out the candles, then she realized that Xiao Tu was looking at her with a smile on her cheeks.

"Teacher Xiao, what are you laughing at?" Shi Nan asked in a low voice.

Xiao Tu said: "I didn't expect you to talk to my mother quite well." ”

Shi Nan glanced at Xiao Tu: "Aren't you quite able to talk to my mother?"

Xiao Tu laughed: "So it seems that we are really a natural pair!"

When the two of them were tired, the light suddenly went out, Xiao Tu's mother was holding the cake, followed by her grandparents, and the orange candlelight trembled and trembled, enveloping the face of Shi Nan's mother in a layer of warm light.

"Happy birthday. Xiao Tu's mother said to Xiao Tu after putting the cake on the table.

Xiao Tu suddenly felt a little sour in his throat, took a breath, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mom." ”

Blowing out candles, making wishes, and cutting cakes, Xiao Tu spent his birthday happily at home for the first time in more than ten years.

After eating, Xiao Tu's mother went back to the study, Xiao Tu and Shi Nan went to the balcony to chat with their grandparents, a few cups of tea and Shi Nan couldn't help but go to the bathroom, looked up when they came back, hesitated and finally went upstairs.

"Knock knock. Heather curled her index finger and tapped it three times.

There was silence in the room for a long time, and Shi Nan was just about to leave when a voice came from inside: "The door is not locked, come in." ”

Xiao Tu's mother was a little surprised when she saw that it was Shi Nan: "Why did Miss Shi come over?

Shi Nan pursed her lips, and then said, "Auntie, there is something I want to talk to you about. ”

Xiao Tu's mother was stunned, and immediately got up after realizing her rudeness, pointed to the chair next to the desk and said, "Come in and sit down." ”

"Hmm. Heather closed the door to her study and sat down.

"Do you want tea?" asked Xiao Tu's mother.

Shi Nan hurriedly waved his hand: "I drank enough downstairs just now, you don't have to be busy, thank you!"

Xiao Tu's mother nodded and sat down face to face with Shi Nan: "What does Miss Shi want to talk to me about?"

Shi Nan said, "I, I want to talk to you about what happened seventeen years ago. ”

Xiao Tu's mother frowned, a trace of sadness flashed in her bright eyes, and she seemed to suppress her emotions and said, "I don't know why Miss Shi mentioned this matter. ”

"Auntie, in fact, I have no intention of revealing your scars, but I suspect that Mr. Xiao's inability to go on stage may have something to do with you, so I want to talk to you, maybe there is a way to untie Mr. Xiao's heart knot and help him return to the stage. Heather said her thoughts in one go.

Xiao Tu's mother's hands on her knees gradually clenched, and the expression on her face became ugly: "You mean, the reason why Xiao Tu can't stand in the spotlight is because of me?" Miss Shi, I don't know how you came to this conclusion, but I have told Xiao Tu's psychiatrist before. ”

Shi Nan said: "Aunt, in fact, Mr. Xiao can already stand in the spotlight. ”

Xiao Tu's mother's clenched hand suddenly let go, stood up abruptly and asked, "What did you say? Xiao Tu overcame the spotlight?

Shi Nan also stood up and responded: "It's just some time ago, I accompanied him to Dad Lin's house, and now he has completely let go of Brother Hanchen's accident back then, we tried, and Mr. Xiao is indeed no longer afraid of the spotlight." It's just ......"

"Just what?" Xiao Tu's mother immediately asked.

"It's just...... Mr. Xiao still can't perform on stage, which is why I suspect that maybe this matter will have something to do with you, Mr. Xiao once told me that when he stands on the stage, he will see a black hole in the audience, which will suck all the sound and light into it, including yours. Although Mr. Xiao said it casually, I felt that it was a little unusual. Heather said.

Xiao Tu's mother was suddenly silent, and after a while, she slowly sat down, her eyes gradually turned red, and her voice trembled uncontrollably: "He made a mistake in that performance, and the audience of a theater was boiling, and I was very disappointed in him, so I left the theater early." I promised to take him home that day, but I left him there......"

Shi Nan also sat down and listened to Xiao Tu's mother talk about all the things that happened back then......

"Miss Shi, you have a way to make Xiao Tu overcome the demon obstacle in his heart, right?" asked Xiao Tu's mother.

Shi Nan shook his head: "I don't know either. ”

The light in Xiao Tu's mother's eyes gradually dimmed.

"But I will definitely do my best to do it, because it is also Mr. Xiao's greatest wish to be able to appear on the drama stage again!" Shi Nan said, "If you can, I hope that your aunt can open your heart to Mr. Xiao, there is no obstacle between mother and son, if you are willing to talk openly and honestly with Mr. Xiao, and untie all the knots in the past, maybe everything can be solved!"

Xiao Tu's mother was a little surprised, then fell silent, and finally nodded and said, "I know." ”

"Auntie, then I'll go downstairs first. Heather got up and said goodbye.

Xiao Tu's mother nodded: "Okay." She suddenly said when Shi Nan opened the door and was about to leave, "Nan Nan, thank you for everything you have done for Xiaotu. ”

Shi Nan was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile......
