I carefully ate the three delicious crabs and sent a message to my uncle thanking him for the gift. At five o'clock, it was already dark, and Lin Jiangnan sent me a message, asking if it was inconvenient for me to come to my house and take the pig away.

I looked at the time, and it was time for dinner, so I smiled silently and replied to him, "Forget it today." I'm tired, I'll listen to your story another day. ”

"Are you unhappy?" He asked me again.

"Nope."

He stopped for a while, and I was about to throw the crab shell when the phone call came in. I wiped my hands and picked it up, and Lin Jiangnan said on the other side of the phone, "You say something." ”

A headless sentence.

"Say what?"

"Really not upset?"

"Why are you upset?" I asked him rhetorically.

Lin Jiangnan was silent for a moment, and said: "The woman who came this afternoon is called Wu Yu, her grandfather and my grandfather are colleagues, her father and my mother are classmates, and she and I are also classmates, our two families are quite familiar, that's all." ”

"Oh." I tilted my head and tucked my phone under my neck, and while cleaning the crab shells on the table, I said, "That's good." I don't have this kind of friendship in my family, and I don't have any contact with my childhood partner. ”

There was silence on his side again.

I laughed silently, my hands busy cleaning up the trash and tidying up the table. There was no sound from him for a while, so I had to take the initiative to ask him, "What do you want to say?" ”

"I don't know. It is...... She came over suddenly this afternoon, I was afraid that you would misunderstand, I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so I called you to hear if your emotions were really not unhappy. ”

"And then?"

"As a result, you really didn't feel unhappy."

I laughed out loud, "I said in WeChat that I wasn't upset, but you still didn't believe it, didn't you say it yourself, words sometimes convey ideas more accurately than words." ”

"That's the idea, I'm talking about the emotion." Lin Jiangnan carefully distinguished the concept from me, and then sighed softly, "I'm ...... now Why do you feel so disappointed? ”

"That depends on what you had hoped for." I washed the dishes, went back to the couch and found a comfortable position to nest in, and hugged the heavy pig, "You want me to be unhappy?" ”

"Hmm."

"You're so straightforward." I thought his tone and these expressions were funny, and asked him, "You think I'm unhappy, that means I care about you?" ”

"That's right. I was still confessing to you in the afternoon, but suddenly a woman came, and she still knew me very well, will you question my character? Or, feel like everything I've said before is a lie to you? ”

"No, it won't."

He sighed loudly, "Sure enough, you really don't care. ”

I laughed again, "Sometimes I think you're mature, and sometimes you do realize you're young. I don't mean it, I just think it...... It's funny. I don't want to fall in love, but that doesn't mean I don't care if someone cheats on me, even if we're just friends, I wouldn't want to be friends with someone who cheated on me. ”

"I didn't lie to you." He hurriedly explained.

"I know, I know, I'm not stupid. I used to read books and dramas, and when I saw the kind of scene where a random woman was misunderstood, I would feel incomprehensible, because the state between people is difficult to disguise, and you can see it when you see it. ”

"So you didn't think Wu Yu had anything to do with me from beginning to end?" Lin Jiangnan breathed a sigh of relief and muttered in a low voice: "Then I'm much more comfortable." ”

"I can't say that I think Wu Yu has nothing to do with you, I mean, I can see that she likes you, but you don't like her. What's more, she left not long after I left, and I think I know that you two are nothing. ”

I pinched a pinch of Pig's hair and suddenly realized something. The reason why my mother has never believed that Lin Jiangnan and I are ordinary friends is probably this reason. No matter what I say, she doesn't believe it, but it's also because she sees the state between me and Lin Jiangnan, even if she is not a lover, she is in danger of becoming a lover.

Sure enough, if you like someone, you can't fool others, you can only fool yourself.

"You saw her gone?" Lin Jiangnan asked me.

"Uh-huh." I gave a positive answer, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was better not to tell Lin Jiangnan what Wu Yu asked me, so I changed the topic and asked him: "Why don't you like Wu Yu?" People have to be very beautiful, and the fact that they can travel to Europe during the New Year shows that their family is not bad, and their family is a world friend, and they are still very concerned about you, how good. ”

"My sister said the same."

"yes, that's realistic."

"But I didn't like her since I was a child. I didn't like her squeamishness in kindergarten, I didn't like her superiority in elementary school, and I didn't like her desire to control me in middle school. I just don't like it anyway. ”

"You were controlling in middle school?" I knew I wasn't supposed to laugh, so I just grinned, "I think she's very gentle." ”

"Do you remember when I said I had a hazy relationship with a girl in high school?"

"Yes. Later, it was opposed by the whole world. ”

"Well, that's what she told my grandfather and our homeroom teacher. It made my grandparents, my mother, my sister, and our teachers take turns to talk to me. Lin Jiangnan sighed again, as if it was still unbearable to talk about it now.

"No wonder you don't like her anymore, and I can't like it anymore." I deeply agree and understand.

After he finished talking about Wu Yu, he asked me again: "Is it okay for me to pick up the pig now?" ”

"You want to pick up the pigs? Or do you want to come over for dinner? ”

He chuckled lowly, "I want to eat with you." Am I a little dead faced? ”

"yes." I laughed. Thinking about his appearance on the other side of the phone now, suddenly something in my heart resisted the beating, and I blurted out: "Lin Jiangnan." ”

"How?"

I lowered my eyes, felt the courage that had just surged out of me retreated again, twisted the slender hair of the pig in my hand, and was silent for a long time before saying, "It's okay." ”

"No, you say, you must have something to say to me."

"It's fine. I'm just tired, so let's not talk about it, I'm going to take a shower. ”

"Do you have anything to do tomorrow?"

"Yes, tomorrow our former colleagues will have a dinner party." I said, "Oh yes, Xu Yijing will be back the day after tomorrow." ”

"She's done with it?" Lin Jiangnan asked.

"She said I'll talk about it later." I touched Piggy's head, "The day after tomorrow is the seventh day of the new year, are you going to work?" ”

"I'm on leave, I'm fine."

"The seventh day of junior high school also took leave? So what are you doing when you come back so early? I muttered, "That's fine." Then the day after tomorrow, if you are free, come over, one is to take the pig back, and the other is Xu Yijing, you also know it, if you need it, you can also help come up with ideas. ”

"Okay." He agreed very happily, and sounded quite happy, "See you the day after tomorrow." ”

After hanging up, I let out a long sigh of relief.

Almost, almost I wanted to tell him, why don't we try it together. But I took a deep breath and ran to the fence with all my strength, and finally I was still afraid.

The moment the words came to my mouth, my mother gave me an analysis, the past I had experienced, including Shao Jie's suspicion of Xu Yijing, and Lin Su's cheating husband, and miscellaneous thoughts rushed into my mind like a movie flashback, forcibly gagged my mouth, and pushed me back.

I still didn't dare to jump.

Lying in bed at night, I edited a message to my mother, wrote it, changed it, changed it, and deleted it, and I felt that what I knew very well in my heart could not be said when it came to words. With every word I typed, I imagined my mother's reaction, whether it would make her angrier or worse. In the end, I changed my mind, saved the country, and sent my dad what I wanted to say to my mom.

Sure enough, with my dad as the main body of confiding, my narration was much smoother.

It was almost twelve o'clock when my mom messaged me back.

"Xiaomi, my mother's words are heavy today, I'm sorry. There is no one in this world who feels more sorry for you than Mom and Dad, we are more sad than you when you are sad, and I want to do not only comfort you afterwards, but also want you to avoid being hurt. You have grown up, many things we want to manage can't be managed, too much interference will hurt the relationship between our mother and daughter, I only hope that you make every choice in your life cautiously and rationally, and be responsible for your own choices. Mom and Dad's home will always be your home, and we will always love you unconditionally. I hope you understand Mom. ”

I cried as I held my phone.

For the first time, I heard my mom seriously say she loved me. If it weren't for the exchange of words, I probably wouldn't have had this opportunity in my life. Maybe my mom and I will still quarrel in the future, but from now on, all quarrels have a clear background and a soft foundation. It makes me happy.

The next day, I slept until three o'clock in the morning, and when I woke up, I was refreshed and ready to go to the appointment.

I haven't seen Yanhua for more than a month, and I don't have any contact with each other, but occasionally I like and leave a message for her circle of friends. Colleagues are often like this, when they are in a company, they can be very good, eat and live together, work together, have blessings and enjoy hardships, but as long as they leave that environment, they will gradually drift apart, and some people may not even meet again in this life.

Fortunately, there is WeChat.

Saying that modern technology has alienated the intimacy between people, I don't think it's true, as long as the Internet is still there, as long as you are willing, the people who have said goodbye will always share their lives with you, synchronized in your time universe. And without social software, it can be regarded as a real sea of people.

For example, Lin Su, she hasn't posted on Moments for a long time. I don't know how she's doing now, but in the past month or so, she's disappeared in my time universe.

Although I didn't ask Yan Hua, I think she would definitely invite Lin Su as well. Yan Hua shouldn't know what happened on Christmas night, and naturally he doesn't know the feud between me and Lin Xu, unless Lin Su told her, but I don't think it should be with Lin Xu's character.

On the way to Yanhua's appointment, I was in the taxi thinking about what I should do when I see Lin Su today.

Should I continue to show my unforgiveness, or should I laugh at her and let go of my suspicions. And about her husband, should I tell her? I never had a clear answer.

When the car arrived at its destination, I still hadn't figured it out.

After getting out of the car, I called Yan Hua and asked her which private room she was, and then looked for her nervously. I straightened my hair at the door, loosened the muscles in my face, and pushed the door open with a smile.

It's terrible. There were only two people in the house, Yan Hua and Lin Su.

I'm early.
