Li Huaiyu is really drunk.

Since he was released from prison, under Xiao Mo's strict control, Li Huaiyu has basically been in a living situation where he has not drunk alcohol and has a healthy diet.

It's a rare birthday.

Friends are here.

Xiao Mo is still busy and can't find time to take care of him.

Li Huaiyu couldn't help but be greedy for a cup and drank a few more bottles of wine. The whole person was dizzy and drunk.

"Little Mo! Xiao Mo! ”

Yu Dongchen helped Li Huaiyu, who was soft into mud, and hurriedly called the master here. Xiao Mo was tidying up the barbecue grill in the garden, and when he heard the movement, he immediately put down the work in his hand and ran over in three steps and two steps.

Therefore, even if you are also running over.

Seeing Yu Dongchen, who was full of alcohol, and then looking at Li Huaiyu, who was full of drunkenness, he said fiercely: "How can you give Uncle Li a drink?" Did you know that he was not in good health? Drinking hurts!! You still drink so much! ”

Yu Dongchen called a wrong.

threw Li Huaiyu on Xiao Mo, and hurriedly went over to chase after his own Xiao Zongzong to explain, this was really not instigated by me, it was Xiao Lizi who borrowed wine to drown his sorrows.

Li Huaiyu leaned on Xiao Mo's shoulder, his hair was lazily spreading Xiao Mo's shoulders, the night breeze was thin, Li Huaiyu narrowed his eyes, and he didn't know who he was talking to: "Yo, it's here... I'm not done with today's paper..."

"Take me back... I'll finish writing the rest..."

"Birthday... I'm 30 years old and have a successful career... Ahh

Immediately Fei was surprised: "Xiao Lizi was poisoned by the paper so fiercely, he didn't forget his literary research when he was drunk." ”

Lu Zuoyu helped Chu Xiaoxi, who was slightly drunk, and told Xiao Mo over there: "It's not early, you take him back to rest." I'll clean it up here. ”

Xiao Mo threw a grateful look at Lu Zuoyu.

It was not early, the wind was cool in the middle of the night, and the grass and trees in the garden made a rustling sound in the wind. The charcoal fire in the barbecue grill that was not burned out made a slight noise, and Li Huaiyu lay on Xiao Mo's back with a red face, muttering something softly in his nose...

That night, Li Huaiyu had a very long dream.

He dreamed that he was a child.

In his big, seemingly endless mansion, in his father's workshop full of design books and fabrics, his well-known father said, "Learn to draw, and you'll be a good fashion designer in the future." ”

Li Huaiyu was still very young at that time, not tall, and even his father's desk was taller than him.

But man is already rebellious.

He shook his head rebelliously and said, "I'm not a designer, Dad." ”

He wanted to be a teacher.

His father's usually serious face showed anger, he broke the measuring ruler in his hand, and the truncated part of the ruler hit Li Huaiyu's palm, and his little hand suddenly turned bright red.

His father scolded him for being unproductive, saying what future is there as a teacher? Can you make money as a teacher? What can being a teacher bring to the Li family? Disgrace?

My mother also went into the workshop.

She did not protect her only son, and she was heartbroken by the rebellion of her young son: "Listen to your father, don't go to a job that doesn't make a living." ”

The Li family is quite famous in the industry.

Li Huaiyu's grandfather, grandfather, and father are all designers, and this is the family's industry from the war-torn era to the present.

Li Huaiyu is the only heir.

At that time, he was still very young and rebellious, he didn't want to be obsessed with work like his parents, he was either on a business trip or on the way on a business trip, obviously a family of three, but he couldn't see each other a few times when he saw his head.

Li Huaiyu is quite a teacher.

In this way, when he has children in the future, he will not have to travel, he can go home every day to teach his children to read and write, and go on outings to fly kites together on weekends.

Be a proud parent, and never allow your son to go against the future that has been planned for him.

Therefore, ten-year-old Li Huaiyu ran away from home.

This may be the most perfect decision he has ever made in his life.

Running away from home was not a difficult task, and his parents easily found him, but did not take him home. Between parents and children, there is a delicate confrontation.

In fact, it is more like a gamble between the front wave and the back wave.

As soon as I was angry, I gambled for 20 years.

Parents are waiting for Li Huaiyu to give in, in their opinion, ten-year-old children can never do without their parents, they have experienced many ups and downs outside, knowing the cruelty and ruthlessness of this world, children will always return to the arms of their parents.

The couple was wrong.

Li Huaiyu is even stronger than they imagined.

He relied on his parents' monthly living expenses to get through the first difficult years. A man went from elementary school to college alone, and since high school, he has never asked his parents for a penny.

He escaped the grasp of his parents.

One person also seems to be doing well.

When the parents found that they could no longer stop Li Huaiyu's footsteps, they tried to come to the door and let the child come back, saying that it was okay to become a teacher.

But at that time, Li Huaiyu had already met Lu Zuoyu and met the most important friend in his life.

"I'm going to play professionally and play esports," he said. ”

Parents were shocked.

No matter what, they can't accept Li Huaiyu to play games! In the eyes of the couple, playing games is a gangster in an Internet café, a miasma, and a bad climate.

Compared with playing games, the profession of a teacher is extremely perfect.

The argument between the parents and the child broke out again.

This time, Li Huaiyu still did not flinch.

He has been in the e-sports circle for many years, he has been misunderstood, framed, fought, injured, and imprisoned, and he has experienced all the things that others have never experienced in their lives.

He survived calmly alone.

He was born to endure hardship.

It's just that most people only see his glamorous side, and he just wants the world to see his glamorous side.

In fact, after being released from prison, his parents, who had not seen him for a long time, still secretly contacted Li Huaiyu.

My parents are old and can no longer be as strong as they were back then.

After all, blood is thicker than water.

The distress for the child is better than the confrontation between father and son.

My father finally spoke: "Playing professional... Yes, we have your back. ”

However, at that time, Li Huaiyu was completely unable to play professionally. He's been injured, he's tired, and his hands can't play as beautifully as they used to be.

Li Huaiyu said: "I want to be a teacher again. ”

It's just that it's different from ordinary teachers.

He wants to be a teacher of the country's civilization in the country's best academy of social sciences, or a guide, to write something that can be passed down and enlighten those who are not yet born or are interested in history and civilization.

Thirty and standing.

A person's life is so short, he wants to do something that can leave a splash in history. Even if it's a small splash, as long as it's there.

Li Huaiyu's father is very old, and he is already a well-known master in the design world. But he knew that he could no longer interfere with any of Li Huaiyu's decisions.

When people get old, they will see a lot of things.

The elderly father said, "You're not too young... I don't want to argue with you again. However, you have to have someone to take care of you. “

The father's tone was already very humble.

He can be angry with Li Huaiyu for twenty years, but he may not be able to put gas for another twenty years.

No matter what Li Huaiyu does, he has no way to oppose it, and there is no other way than to support it.

Now, the father only wants his children to have a home.

"I know." Li Huaiyu said.

There are already people around me who are taking care of me.

Between father and son, there is a smile and enmity.

The Father and the Son are old.

...

Li Huaiyu was woken up by a cold stimulus.

He opened his eyes irritably, the scene in the dream had not yet dispersed, and he was half-asleep and half-awake to scratch the coldness on his forehead, which seemed to be a veil.

Li Huaiyu didn't say a word, and threw away the veil.

It's annoying.

Noisy sleeping.

It was already dark, and the clock beside the bed showed that it was twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Huaiyu's eyes were hazy, and he vaguely saw Xiao Mo's familiar face, with sharp edges and corners, very strong eyebrows, and a high nose bridge, looking like a star who acted in a movie.

Xiao Mo bent down to pick up the wet handkerchief on the ground and put it into the basin next to him: "Do you still have a headache?" I've got some medicine here, take some more. ”

Li Huaiyu rubbed his temples, there was a sharp pain in his temples, this was the sequelae of drinking and hangover, his head was dizzy, and Li Huaiyu's mood was particularly bad for no reason.

Xiao Mo twisted a handkerchief again and handed it to Li Huaiyu: "You slept for a day and a half." They waited for you for a day, and before you woke up, they left first. ”

"Don't drink so much in the future."

Li Huaiyu put the veil on his face.

The wet coolness was just enough to get rid of the drowsiness.

After sleeping for too long, Chu Xiaoxi and they are all gone.

Li Huaiyu felt a faint sour in his heart.

It was a flash of relief.

Friends are separated, and no one will get along with each other for the rest of their lives, unless they are husband and wife or husband.

Li Huaiyu lay down for a moment and sat up from the bed slowly. Xiao Mo handed over the sobering medicine and a bowl of Chinese medicine, Li Huaiyu saw the dark black Chinese medicine that night, and frowned: "Don't drink it." ”

He doesn't drink this bitter thing!

Xiao Mo didn't give him a chance to refuse, and handed it over firmly: "This is a prescription given by silence, saying that it is very effective to treat headaches." ”

Li Huaiyu waved his hand irritably: "Don't drink, take it far!" ”

Xiao Mo sat on the edge of the bed and said in a calm tone, "I've stayed up for a long time. ”

He really stayed up for a long time.

Li Huaiyu didn't wake up for a long time, and Xiao Mo didn't want to wake him up violently. I had to boil it again every few hours, which took a lot of effort.

Li Huaiyu glanced at Xiao Mo's face, there were obvious dark circles under his eyes, Li Huaiyu pursed his lips, reluctantly took the bowl of bitter Chinese medicine, and drank slowly.

Xiao Mo said: "After drinking it in one go, it's all bitter anyway." ”

Li Huaiyu didn't listen to him, and at his own speed, he resisted the urge to vomit and drank the bowl of Chinese medicine in small sips.

Xiao Mo said again: "You get up and exercise your muscles and bones." Half an hour later I went downstairs to eat. ”

Li Huaiyu sat on the bed and watched Xiao Mo pack up the pills and washcloths and take them away. Li Huaiyu's eyes flashed with countless emotions, including doubts, puzzlement, uneasiness, and confusion.

It wasn't until Xiao Mo's tall back disappeared into the room that Li Huaiyu walked out of bed slowly. Sneaking into the bathroom, the face in the mirror was skewed and scumgy, looking ugly and decadent.

Li Huaiyu touched his chin, turned half of his face again, and stroked his fingers over the subtle and barely visible wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

Thirty years old.

It's quite old.

Moreover, people are not as good-looking as they used to be.

I really don't know what Xiao Mo's guy is always stubbornly staying by the side of such an old and not good-looking man, what he wants...

He remembered the long, seemingly endless dream again.

Sometimes, life won't give you the right answer.

But dreams will give you the answer.

--------

When eating in the afternoon, Xiao Mo frowned and looked at the man sitting elegantly across the table and not moving his chopsticks.

Xiao Mo couldn't help but remind: "Eat, don't wear a mask." ”

Li Huaiyu also wore a dark green mask on his face.

Look... Weird.

Li Huaiyu glanced at him: "This is the anti-wrinkle and anti-aging mask recommended by Chu Xiaoxi, it is very effective." After a pause, Li Huaiyu looked at the watch again, and it was going to be applied for another five minutes.

Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment, and then said: "You are not old." ”

In Xiao Mo's heart, this old virgin is forever young.

Li Huaiyu hummed: "What do you know." ”

I'm older than you after all.

Because Li Huaiyu had just woken up from a hangover, Xiao Mo made his lunch very light and nourishing his stomach. Thick millet porridge, refreshing and delicious vegetables, small plates of minced meat, a large bowl of pork ribs and corn soup.

Very Li Huaiyu's appetite.

After the mask on Li Huaiyu's face had been applied for enough time, he calmly went to the bathroom to wash it off and returned to the dining table to eat.

Xiao Mo served the pork ribs corn soup to him and handed it over: "Drink some to warm your stomach." ”

The pork ribs corn soup is boiled deliciously.

The taste is superb.

Li Huaiyu drank the soup and listened to Xiao Mo talking over there. Xiao Mo doesn't have many words, but as long as it is related to Li Huaiyu, he can always say it very well.

For example, now, Xiao Mo is talking about the work of the Academy of Social Sciences, saying that the vacation has been extended, and Li Huaiyu can rest for an extra week.

Xiao Mo also said that he could cook polenta at night, and asked Li Huaiyu if he liked it, and if he didn't want to drink polenta, there were mung beans in the refrigerator.

Xiao Mo also said that the salary of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences has been paid, and the huge manuscript fee of the publishing house has also been received, and there is a lot of money, so he has to find a time to deposit it in the bank.

Li Huaiyu found that Xiao Mo had invaded all aspects of his life since he didn't know when.

Xiao Mo even knows Li Huaiyu better than Li Huaiyu.

It's kind of funny.

That clear dream came to Li Huaiyu's mind again.

Li Huaiyu was full of food and drink, leaned lazily on the chair, and said, "I want to see two people tomorrow, you can drive me there." ”

Xiao Mo didn't hesitate and nodded.

Li Huaiyu tilted his head and said with a smile: "You don't ask, who do I want to meet?" ”

Xiao Mo pondered for a moment, he would never interfere with any of Li Huaiyu's decisions. After thinking about it, Xiao Mo asked tentatively, "Then who are you going to meet?" ”

Li Huaiyu was in a happy mood: "My parents, you go with me." ”

———

The next day, Xiao Mo drove Li Huaiyu to the next city.

In the car, Li Huaiyu saw the black green under Xiao Mo's eyes, and said with a smile: "Didn't sleep well at night? ”

Xiao Mo didn't say anything.

He really didn't sleep well last night.

Originally, Xiao Mo planned to meet Li Huaiyu's parents privately to learn about Li Huaiyu's past. and then gradually test Li Huaiyu's attitude towards himself.

Or, as Lu Zuoyu suggested, go on a blind date and see if you can stimulate Li Huaiyu.

However, all the plans were not implemented in time.

Li Huaiyu said that he would take Xiao Mo to meet his parents.

Xiao Mo thought about it, probably because he thought too much. Perhaps, Li Huaiyu just regarded him as a driver, and there was no difference between him and the taxi driver outside.

The two have been together for so many years, Xiao Mo knows all of Li Huaiyu's preferences, knows all his tastes, and knows all his life content, but after all, he can't understand Li Huaiyu's heart.

Xiao Mo is very afraid, if his wolf ambition for Li Huaiyu is discovered, will this proud and conceited man turn around and run away?

"The restaurant in front, you're waiting for me outside." Li Huaiyu smiled and instructed Xiao Mo to park the car.

He got out of the car himself and walked towards the restaurant without looking back.

Xiao Mo sat alone in the car, the corners of his mouth pulled down, and sure enough, he was just the driver...

He's thinking too much.

I thought...

----------------

Fine dining restaurant, elegant and quiet.

The sound of the violin flowed slowly, and Li Huaiyu walked in in a dark red windbreaker, with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, full of luxury, and walked in very flamboyantly.

His parents were waiting for him in the private room of the restaurant.

Both father and mother are old.

The two of them are well-known in the industry for their stylish dress and elegant conversation. At this moment, the two are just a pair of ordinary parents, about to see their son who they haven't seen for a long time, and the couple is uneasy.

The box door opened, and Li Huaiyu walked in.

His mother hurriedly asked him to sit down, wanting to pull Li Huaiyu's hand, but Li Huaiyu dodged without a trace, and a faint disappointment and frustration flashed on his mother's face.

"Xiaoyu, you...... You've lost weight, I've brought a special bird's nest, and I'll bring you home later. The mother spoke, her eyes already red.

Li Huaiyu nodded: "Okay." ”

The father said, "I... I read your newly published book, and although I can't read it, but... But it's still good. ”

Father actually wanted to say, I'm so proud of you.

No matter what Li Huaiyu does, he will always be the best at the extreme.

Play games and be the best; Go to jail, when the one who sits most comfortably; Be a professor, be the best professor.

Li Huaiyu bowed his head lightly, and seemed to have made up his mind: "I invited the two of you over to say something." Don't worry about me being lonely all my life, I already have someone. ”

The mother's eyes widened with tears in her eyes.

"Really, really?"

Li Huaiyu smiled: "Thirty years old, I had a birthday, I drank some wine, I had a dream, and I suddenly understood a lot of things." ”

At the age of thirty, he polished his eyes and received the best gift.

The mother looked cramped and excited, and crossed her hands uneasily: "That, that person of yours, where is she from?" What do you do at home? I... Mom doesn't interfere with you, she just wants to know her..."

The mother was anxious for information about the girl.

But I am afraid that excessive inquiries will make Li Huaiyu feel unpleasant.

Although the father did not speak, there was already an urgent curiosity in his eyes.

Li Huaiyu stirred the coffee in his hand and fell into memory: "I have known him for a long time. He used to be very small, like a disobedient wolf cub. ”

"I didn't understand him before, but now I do."

At the age of thirty, at the lively birthday party, he understood.

Looking at the backs of Mr. Shan and Silent supporting each other, Li Huaiyu understood.

After an endless dream, Li Huaiyu understood.

"Oh, yes." Li Huaiyu stopped stirring the coffee and looked at his parents, "He's a boy." ”

Parents:...

Li Huaiyu said: "Even if you interfere, it's useless. ”

Parents could no longer interfere with him.

He has been rebellious since he was a child to the present, and he has carved out his own path alone.

——

Outside the restaurant.

Xiao Mo was uneasy and restless.

He thought about it, are Li Huaiyu's parents preparing to go on a blind date? Today's parents seem to like to give their children blind dates.

Then Li Huaiyu, will you agree?

What if you agree?

Xiao Mo was unprecedentedly uneasy, he always thought that he stayed by Li Huaiyu's side like a shadow, and over time, even if it was a stone, he could see a little bit of his mind.

But Li Huaiyu, he is not just a stone, he is simply the hardest diamond.

Seems indestructible.

In the anxious waiting, the door of the restaurant finally opened, and Li Huaiyu was still wearing the flamboyant dark red windbreaker, carrying a bag of bird's nest in his hand, followed by a middle-aged couple.

Li Huaiyu got into the car and handed the bird's nest to Xiao Mo: "It's boiled at night." ”

Xiao Mo suppressed the uneasiness in his heart: "Okay." ”

Xiao Mo found that the middle-aged couple at the door of the restaurant was still looking. The couple is dressed fashionably, and their faces are everywhere in fashion magazines.

Their gaze is curious and urgent.

Xiao Mo glanced at them, nodded his head, and greeted them.

The middle-aged woman smiled, muttering something in her mouth, and the expression on her face seemed to be very satisfied and relieved.

Xiao Mo rolled down the window and asked Li Huaiyu: "Are you going back directly?" Or do you want to wander around the neighborhood? ”

Li Huaiyu flipped through the map on his mobile phone and pointed to the nearest wetland park: "Go here for a walk, the air is good, and it is good for the body." ”

Xiao Mo did not object, drove and soon arrived at the green park.

It is almost dusk, and you can see old men and aunts walking everywhere in the park. They are old, in good spirits, and look young in the green park.

The two of them walked for a while, and finally sat down on a bench near the lake, like those old men and aunts.

At dusk, the lake is sparkling, and the green trees on both sides of the river are swaying in the evening breeze.

Xiao Mo was afraid that Li Huaiyu would catch a cold, so he asked for a cup of hot water from the aunt who bought skewers in the park, handed it to Li Huaiyu, and suggested that the two return to the car immediately.

Li Huaiyu shook his head, sighed, and stuffed the hot water cup back into Xiao Mo's hand.

Li Huaiyu said: "Do you want to know what I said to them? ”

Xiao Mo pursed his lips and nodded after a while: "I want to know." ”

His heart is an ant on a hot pot, and he desperately wants to know if Li Huaiyu was forced by his parents to go on a blind date!

If it really is, then he... He couldn't help it.

Li Huaiyu suddenly snatched back the hot water from Xiao Mo's hand, drank most of the cup with a grunt, and almost choked, coughing and coughing so much that his face turned red.

Xiao Mo hurriedly patted him on the back, a little annoyed: "Drink slowly, no one will rob you!" ”

I'm thirty years old, and sometimes I look like a child.

Li Huaiyu shrugged his shoulders and glared at Xiao Mo with beautiful eyes: "Lao Tzu is very nervous, okay!" ”

Xiao Mo frowned, he didn't understand.

Li Huaiyu took a deep breath, his fingers clenched the hot water paper cup, and the cool breeze by the lake could not dissipate the heat in his ears: "Actually, I'm used to fighting alone." ”

Xiao Mo pricked up his ears and listened.

Li Huaiyu said again: "But, how can anyone really like to be lonely? ”

He loved it miserably.

"In my life, I have two families."

"A family is a WD team, and my youth is lost in WD."

"There's also a home, in a villa in Kyoto."

After a pause, Li Huaiyu took a deep breath again: "I suddenly understand a little bit recently, what is home?" Rented house, bought house, I live in it, this house is not my home. ”

He narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Only if there is someone I like living in the house, that house is my home." ”

Xiao Mo froze in place.

Too much information pressed over, and Xiao Mo's smart and shrewd brain crashed and couldn't react for a long time.

Li Huaiyu looked at the time on his mobile phone and showed regret: "It's too late, let's go home tomorrow." Let's find a hotel to stay in tonight, we want five stars, um... One double room. ”

Saying that, Li Huaiyu drank the last sip of hot water in the hot water cup, and then slowly stood up and stretched his waist, and the cool lake breeze blew over, blowing away the heat at the root of his ears.

The uncles and aunts in the park are still chatting loudly, the couples pushing the strollers are laughing and laughing, and the singing of the square dance not far away has sounded, and the park is full of vitality and happiness.

"If you have any questions in the future, you can ask me." Li Huaiyu picked up Xiao Mo who was in a daze and said seriously, "I'll tell you." ”

My past, my present, my future, can all tell you.

Xiao Mo stood up stiffly.

Joon's face is full of incredulity, and a huge surprise that is suppressed.

Li Huaiyu put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly towards the parking place, and the paper cup containing hot water was clutched into a small lump by him and stuffed in his pants pocket.

Xiao Mo hurriedly chased after him.

He stammered and asked the person in front of him, "That... That... Then you, do you want to live with me for the rest of your life? ”

Li Huaiyu stopped, turned around, and smiled: "Guess." ”

The last golden rays of the setting sun spread over the park's lake, and the wind blew and the golden light dissipated. Far east, the moon crept up in the sky, and the city was at night.

A bustling city.

[Li Huaiyu chapter, end]
