In the evening, Ye Xing came to me, at that time, it was already dark, I had already prepared a meal, sitting on the sofa in the living room and watching TV programs boringly, while waiting for him to come back.

Ye Xing opened the door with a key, because the TV was on, and because I was thinking about something, I didn't find him until he walked up to me.

Seeing that I looked thoughtful, Ye Xing smiled and put down his coat, sat next to me and asked me, "What's wrong?"

I smiled at him, the smile was a little bitter, and said lightly, "It's nothing." Then he asked, "Why did you come back so late today?"

Ye Xing smiled at me and said, "I gave a few students a make-up class today, so I was a little late," and then he added, "The principal has given me an extra class, and I will have to teach one more course in the future, so I can't come back so early every afternoon, but in this way, the income has also increased." ”

When it came to the increase in income, Ye Xing's eyes were shining, I looked at him and smiled, and said softly, "That's a good thing," and then I stood up with his shoulders and said to him, "Go wash your hands, I'll go and heat the dishes." ”

He got up with a smile and went to the bathroom.

I heated up the two dishes that had been fried, and at this time, Ye Xing, who had washed his hands, came over, and he brought a soup that I had already cooked to the table, and when I brought the two dishes over, he had already filled my rice bowl with rice, and we sat down and started to enjoy dinner.

During the meal, Ye Xing asked me, "What do you think of the city of Zhuhe?"

Zhuhe is a small city more than 400 miles away from the city, with a population of about 3 million, and the customs are very good, and the environment is also very beautiful.

Now when I heard Ye Xing mention this city, I replied casually while munching on my food: "Yes, the environment is very good." ”

Seeing me say this, Ye Xing immediately became interested, and he asked me, "Have you been there?"

I nodded and replied, "I've been, I've traveled to several famous scenic spots over there with my family and friends before." ”

"Oh?" Ye Xing asked me with interest, "You don't have any relatives or friends over there, do you?"

I looked at him, replied, "No," and asked him again, "What's wrong?"

Ye Xing smiled, and then explained to me: " Because I have a classmate who went to Zhuhe City to develop, I met him today, he introduced the situation over there, I feel that the city is very good, according to him, because the city is a new city, so there are more young and middle-aged residents with children, and the income is relatively stable, which is more suitable for opening an art training school, you also know that parents now want their children to become Jackie Chan, even if they don't expect their children to become pianists and artists, but they also hope that they will receive this aspect of cultivation from an early age, because this is good for the child's future growth, so many parents of wealthy families are not hesitant to spend money in this regard。 My classmate knew that I had plans to open an art training school in the future, so he suggested that I go there to develop, saying that although Zhuhe City is not as big as the city, it is not as developed as the city, but the city is small and has the advantages of being small, one is the low housing price, and the transportation is also convenient, if we go there to develop, all aspects of consumption will be reduced, in short, it is very suitable for life. ”

Listening to Ye Xing's introduction, I was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly and asked him, "Do you really want to go over there to develop?"

Ye Xing said to me seriously: "Yes," and then gave me an example, "Look, you don't have any relatives or friends over there, and I don't have either, so we can live as we like when we get there, and we don't have to worry about being recognized by acquaintances. ”

I looked at Ye Xing's serious expression, and the feeling in my heart was very complicated, he was indeed planning for our future in a practical way, but young him, can those beautiful ideas really be realized?

I gently stirred the rice in the bowl with chopsticks, was silent for a moment, and said earnestly to Ye Xing: "Let's talk about this next step, for now, you work hard first." ”

Ye Xing smiled and nodded at me, and I smiled at him, and then filled his bowl with soup.

After dinner, we snuggled together and watched TV, I pillowed on Ye Xing's shoulder and asked him softly: "Ye Xing, if you don't go back to your hometown, you will develop outside, isn't your father worried?"

Ye Xing took his eyes off the TV, glanced at me, and replied lightly: "Oh, you also know that after my father married his stepwife, all his energy was focused on his stepwife and the son they had born, and he didn't care about me, so it doesn't matter to him whether I go back or not." ”

Listening to Ye Xing's bland narration, I let out a soft "oh", but I was a little puzzled in my heart, because generally fathers value the eldest son, even if he remarries and has a son, he will not completely ignore the original son.

Of course, there are all kinds of weird people and strange things in this world, and there is indeed an old rumor that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, so it is possible that Ye Xing's father ignores him and their father has a cold and alienated relationship.

I asked Ye Xing again: "What about your mother, since she divorced your father, she didn't care about you?"

Speaking of his mother, Ye Xing's expression became a little sentimental, he was silent for a moment, and then told me in a low voice: "When my father and my mother divorced, his lover was already pregnant, but he wasn't sure whether his lover was pregnant with a boy or a girl, so he refused to let me go with my mother, because I was a son after all." So my mother went to a southern city alone and never contacted us again. ”

I am even more puzzled, generally mothers are very concerned about their children, this kind of feeling is the same as I do to Tongtong, even if she did not follow me after I divorced her father, but I must be able to see her face often, and know whether she is doing well, so that I can rest assured. How could it be that after divorcing a man, because the child followed the other party, the mother went away and ignored her child from then on?

It's really hard for me to understand Ye Xing's mother's approach, because I feel that her approach is not the way ordinary people should behave.

"Oh," I replied lightly, and then asked Ye Xing, "How old were you the year they divorced?"

Ye Xing touched his nose and replied indifferently: "That year, I was fourteen years old. ”

Later, we didn't continue this topic, because I felt that Ye Xing's emotions had been obviously shrouded in a layer of sadness when I asked him like this, and I didn't want to reveal the scars and hidden pain in his heart again, so I stopped here, but I still left a small question in my heart.

***

I have a small bookshelf with a lot of valuable books that I have collected over the years, including classics, Western classics, poetry collections, and books on plant cultivation, beauty and health care, antique collections, and so on.

This is also one of Ye Xing's favorite places in my house, and when he is fine, he will run to this small bookshelf to rummage through it, take a look, and see if there are any books he likes.

One night, he stood in front of my bookshelf, holding a book of foreign poetry, slowly reciting it, and I only thought it was cute and ridiculous to see his serious look of shaking his head.

He chanted to me, "Love melts anger like the sun melts icicles." In the spiritual realm, true love can continue to produce miracles. When we see beauty in the unbeautiful, isn't this 'love'? Our hearts are like a mine of feelings, love is gold, and hate is iron. ”

I smiled and asked him, "Whose poem is this?"

Ye Xing replied to me: "Balzac's!"

I smiled faintly and said, "Oh, no wonder I haven't heard of it before." ”

Ye Xing put down the collection of poems and asked me mysteriously: "Actually, my name also comes from poetry, do you know which poem it comes from?"

I stared at his cheek, thought for a moment, and then said to him, "It should be the song "Qingyu Case" by Xin Qiji of the Song Dynasty, right?"

Ye Xing looked at me with wide eyes and asked me in disbelief, "How do you know?"

I smiled and recited the poem: "The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, blows down, the stars are like rain, and the BMW carved cars are full of fragrance." The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. Then he wrenched his fingers and said slowly to Ye Xing, "You see there is a night and a star here, and I immediately thought of your name Ye Xing, so you said that your name came from a poem, and I thought of this poem." ”

Ye Xing looked at me fixedly, with an inexplicable smile in his eyes, for a long time, he nodded at me lightly, pointed at me with a smile and muttered: "You woman, it's really not simple, you guessed it all of a sudden." ”

I smirked and replied, "Hmph, what's that?" and then asked him, "Who gave you that name?"

Ye Xing's eyes flickered, and he replied lightly: "Oh, it is a highly respected ...... Elder, she gave me this name from this poem, and the night is the same as my surname, so it was adopted by my parents. ”

I nodded slowly and said, "Oh, I see......"

Ye Xing seemed to be interested in approaching me, lowered his head and smiled at me, "I didn't expect you to be so smart......?

I also followed his head and shook his head just now, and pretended to boast in a mysterious way: "Hmph, I don't have more places to be simple?"

Ye Xing's smile deepened, he put his arms around me, and asked softly in my ear, "Oh? Then I would like to know, what are your other things that are not simple? For example...... In bed?"
