66.Chapter 66. Break the ice
Lin Zhen has been with Xu Xian for a long time, and he was somewhat damaged by him, and he was not as thin as before, he turned over, formed a counterattack posture, pressed Xu Xian's wrist, and said softly in his ear: "Do you see the carvings on the ceiling?" There's a grimace that I stare at every time. ”
The decoration style of Lin Zhen's home is somewhat a combination of Chinese and Western, the ceiling imitates the carved beams and paintings on the ancient Chinese architecture, and the surrounding is inlaid with a pattern similar to the caisson, which should be made of Huanghuali material, so there are irregular patterns on it, and directly above their heads, there is a piece of color and shape that is very special, similar to a cute little grimace, and those who play antiques know that the Huanghuali with this grimace pattern is more expensive than ordinary wood. It is very much in line with the artistic pursuit of traditional Chinese literati for deformed aesthetics.
However, this elegant and cute little thing seemed to have become tainted with some rosy tones under Lin Zhen's warm explanation.
Xu Xian was made short of breath by Lin Zhen, he admitted that he was sometimes too carried away, forgetting that Lin Zhen was actually a few years older than him, and he entered the society very early, many times, his unfashionable and unfashionable was not that he wouldn't, it was just that he was unwilling, and it was his unwillingness to have confidence after achieving a certain social status.
"Well, you're making me blush." Xu Xian said with a smile in the dark, he took Lin Zhen's hand, pressed his hand on his cheek, and felt Lin Zhen's fingertips cold, which reflected that his face was indeed red.
"It's good to know, don't always tease me in the future." Lin Zhen touched Xu Xian's face and pinched his cheek, which seemed to be a little plump, it should be his illusion, although the dinner was a steak cooked by Frank that was bigger than his face, but it was not enough to make up so well in one meal.
"Got it, brother." Xu Xian raised his head and called intimately, what did he want to express, was it his old age, or his younger age, it was just a weak title, but it was more exciting than the flirting of Hongguoguo just now, Lin Zhen didn't bother to think about it, he held his face and kissed it, enjoying this hard-won love in his room unbridledly.
……
"Morning, did you sleep well last night?"
"Very good."
Xu Xian went downstairs in Lin Jin's old home clothes and found that in the open dining room on the first floor, Frank had prepared a rich breakfast, butter-fried toast, freshly brewed coffee and a large plate of vegetable salad to make this simple meal look springy.
"Are you still sleeping?"
"Well, I'm up." Lin Zhen came down from the upstairs after a while, and the two of them should have taken turns using the separate bathroom, and their hair was still wet.
"Okay, now that your room is vacant, I'm going up and doing some carpentry work."
Frank skillfully picked up his toolbox and walked up to the second floor, Xu Xian and Lin Zhen glanced at each other with some humility.
"Ha, I thought IKEA's bed was sturdy, these Swedes who cut corners." Considering Lin Ling's relationship, Frank gave his joke a thin code, but it still made the faces of the two big men red.
"I'll tell you that you can't do that."
"You're not very persistent." Xu Xian squinted his eyes and smiled, while reaching out to cover the eyes of Lin Ling, who was eating toast dipped in syrup, and exchanged a few kisses with Lin Zhen.
"How is it arranged today, can Auntie come back?"
"It looks like it's going to be a few more days." Lin Ling broke free of Xu Xian's hand, and shook the maroon self-scroll inherited from Frank, Uncle Yi is different from you, he has received enlightenment education since he was a child, and the password for the paid channel is 1234 Don t say me, even doge can crack it looked at them with an expression, and then said.
"Oh, since my mother won't be here for a while, let's go over and see your uncle first?" Lin Zhen took the plate, handed over the butter and chocolate sauce by the way, Xu Xian took it greedily, both of them were squeezed into the plate, drew a smile, and handed it back to Lin Zhen's hand.
"Okay, then go to my uncle's place first, you eat." He reached forward and pushed forward, took another plate and served toast, nothing was enough, and ate several slices in vain.
Xu Xian likes the original taste of food, especially sour and bitter things, he doesn't seem to need sweetness in his life, there are too many helplessness that makes him feel that life doesn't need to be whitewashed, it was originally so difficult.
Lin Zhen seemed to be a gift from heaven, an accurate interpretation of the words that he had thought were people's comfort for many years - bitterness comes sweetly.
"Well, I'll give Director Kong a call and report the trip." Lin Zhen looked at the jet lag, and suddenly reacted that he didn't need to watch it, because Kong Jiawen was different from normal people, he basically didn't sleep, and he really lived American time.
However, the busy sound that sounded again and again made Lin Zhen feel a little weak, did this thing sleep?
……
On the other side of the world, the phone rings helplessly, and finally the system automatically hangs up, but the owner of the phone has no chance to pick it up.
Xiao Wu looked at the lonely mobile phone that Kong Jiawen threw on the kang a little crampedly, peeked at him several times, and wanted to ask him if he needed to pick it up, but the atmosphere was too depressing, so that this five-year-old man didn't dare to say a word.
"Tianli Renlun, there is no such reason, and you still bring it to the table and say, you ......" Just as he was staring, an old voice came from the opposite side, it was his old father.
There is a kang table alone on the big kang, at first glance it is an old object of a hundred and ten years, the opposite side of the kang table is divided into courts, one end is Xiao Wu and Kong Jiawen, and the other end is sitting Kong Dao's father-in-law, but it seems that the old man is stubborn, and he would rather die and unyielding his neck, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like he is ready to accept Kong Jiawen.
Xiao Wu's mother is busy in the kitchen outside, and she has never been involved in the major events of the family, if Xiao Wu is a girl, it would be easy to do, naturally the family is the guest of the family to handle the work inside and outside, but now the son is not a girl, and he did not bring back a girl, but brought a diamond king Lao Wu who made the eyes of the girls and mothers in the whole village hot, which is not her business.
Alas...... Although she complained that the child was ignorant, the little fifth mother still burned the pot and started the stove, and she had to get the child to stutter.
"It's not too early, the children have been on the road for a day, let them wash and sleep, and talk about it tomorrow." Xiao Wu's mother brought two bowls of hand-rolled noodles from the kitchen, and carefully brought them to the kang table and set them up, Kong Jiawen stood up very politely and took it, both Xiao Wu and Xiao Wu's father seemed to be a little surprised to look at this woman with a soft and rigid attitude.
In the past, on the issue of Xiao Wu's coming out, Xiao Wu's father was always absent, and he didn't seem to discuss these things that he thought should not be stored in the world.
But once faced with the final showdown, this old-fashioned woman's attitude, which was somewhat feudal and superstitious, suddenly softened, and not only that, it seems that she no longer intends to play the role of a non-talking mallet in the family's heavy decision-making, but is more actively involved - in the final analysis, women are always much more mellow and flexible than men when facing the major changes in life.
Xiao Wu's father looked at the two bowls of steaming noodles between himself and the hostile forces, and he no longer had the capital to flip the table, after all, there were only a few bedding at home, and men were sometimes more practical than they imagined.
He lowered his head and didn't speak, and after a while, he raised his head and stared at Kong Jiawen deeply, and finally drooped down under the other party's handsome eyebrows.
He didn't even know why he had the feeling that he couldn't make eye contact with the little bunny, and that feeling made him feel very uncomfortable, much like when he was young when he went into the city to sell surplus food, and was found out when he was secretly looking at the city girls, because of his shyness and anger.
Finally, in an almost eerie silence, the little fifth father pushed and shoved his daughter-in-law out of the door, and even closed the door to hear the sound of the old couple arguing.
"Do you want to let the two of them sleep in the same bed?"
"It's you who are shameless! The house is opposite the north and south rooms, and I brought back a male doll, are you sleeping with him or I sleeping with him?! ”
The little fifth father was silent in the woman's practical and logical questioning, and finally sighed, and the sound of slapping his shoes faded away.
"Well, I'm smiling you." Xiao Wu lowered his head and fiddled with his mobile phone, it was still an ordinary old man's machine, it was clamshell, the signal was very poor, and he almost couldn't receive any calls and text messages when he arrived in the village.
Kong Jiawen bought him a new mobile phone, but Xiao Wu is a martial arts instructor, reluctant to use it, always bumped into it, in fact, he makes a lot of money now, and the annual salary is always worth two or three years of hard work in the general job, but the habits he developed since childhood have hardly been consumed much by the big city, and he still stubbornly insists on a corner of his heart, just like him, stubborn and persistent.
Xiao Wu has a set of simple and naturally formed three views in his heart, he can't do things that hurt nature and reason, he is always kind to people in things that do not shake the big principles, his parents raised him, and he can't kill people and set fire to bully the weak, he strictly abides by these and does not dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool.
But no one had ever talked to him about sexual orientation in person, so when Kong Jiawen mentioned it to him, Xiao Wu weighed his admiration for him and murder and arson on the scale, and agreed without much struggle.
Love is still a taboo word in this almost isolated village compared to the imperial capital, and his experience of emotional life has never come from his parents who are few words, but most of them are learned from the neighbor's third brother and sister-in-law.
That was when he was still in elementary school, and once he saw the neighbor's uncle running around the yard with a broom, just because he didn't want to get married on a blind date, but fell in love with a widow in a neighboring village, who was in free love, and got a certificate from his family.
"Well, if I have someone I like in the future, I'll do it, for the sake of my daughter-in-law, I will be beaten, and I will not be given food and water for a few days when I am hungry, it is worth it." Xiao Wu secretly made up his mind in his heart, but he didn't expect that many years later, he was also given a cold shoulder by his family members because of his love relationship, and the daughter-in-law he swore to when he was a teenager turned out to be a man.
