Chapter 30: Meet the Parents
"If so, I'll tell my parents that I have a boyfriend."
"Hmm...... What do they say? ”
"They want to see you."
"Oh......"
……
When Lin Youlan just stepped into Du Ruo's house, she frowned and said, "Are you a pig!" Why are you so lazy, you see what the living room is messed up into! ”
Du Ruo coughed a few times in embarrassment, he was indeed more casual when he was at home, because no one usually came, and he often lived in a rented house outside the school before. And now that he has graduated, he is too lazy to clean up his family, because he is about to live in a university dormitory.
Lin Youlan glanced at him: "Forget it, I'll help you clean up your home first, and then pick out your clothes." ”
Lin Youlan originally asked Du Ruo to accompany her to the clothing store to buy a set, but after Du Ruo shook her head I don't know how many times, she finally had to listen to Du Ruo's words and go to his house to pick a set to wear.
Du Ruo returned to the bedroom, picked and chose in the wardrobe, and finally changed his clothes and walked out, so that Lin Youlan could review it.
"No, it's so casual, do you think you're going to play basketball?" Lin Youlan denied it after a glance and continued to work.
Du Ruo had no choice but to go back and change another set.
Lin Youlan was taken aback: "What are you doing, why do you still have a suit?" ”
"My aunt gave it to me when I was my cousin's best man...... What do you think? Serious enough, isn't it? Du Ruo blinked.
"Don't make a fuss, aren't you hot? Go back and change! Though...... Although it's quite handsome......" Lin Youlan said with a little blush.
"Alas, woman." Du Ruo had no choice but to go back and change into a normal set of clothes, but Lin Youlan finally didn't refuse again.
"Are you just there watching! Don't come and help me yet! Lin Youlan said angrily to Du Ruo, who was drinking juice.
"Coming, coming......"
……
Eventually, they returned to the mall.
"I think I should buy some supplements or something, right? Otherwise, it's not good to be empty-handed. Du Ruo scratched his head.
"How do you know so well? Who did you learn from? Lin Youlan said jokingly.
"With ......" Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, who did you learn from...... She once told him that when he graduates, he will take him home, and when the time comes, he must remember to buy gifts, dress cleanly and decently, smile, and take her hand and walk into the house.
"Hello? What do you want? Lin Youlan waved her hand strangely.
"Ah...... It's okay, then don't buy supplements, let's go to your house to get the bag of rice. ”
"Are you going to die?"
In the end, they walked out of the mall empty-handed.
"After all, we're all just students, so we don't have to be so nervous."
But standing in front of Lin Youlan's house, Du Ruo still began to get nervous.
"What should I say in a moment......"
"Wouldn't it be nice to not bring any gifts?"
"What if they plan to beat the mandarin ducks?"
Du Ruo was in a hurry, Lin Youlan held his hand, opened the door without saying a word, and pulled Du Ruo in.
"Mom, I'm back!"
"Lan Lan, you're back! The meal will be ready soon, you go and sit for a while! By the way, my mother bought you your favorite strawberry, and I'll get it for you......" Lin Youlan's mother said happily as she walked out of the kitchen, but found that her baby daughter's hand was actually being held, and she immediately pulled down her face and looked at Du Ruo.
"Hello Auntie." Du Ruo smiled politely and said hello, but Lin Youlan's mother didn't buy it and shouted behind her, "Husband! Hurry out and get out! ”
"What are you doing, is dinner ready?"
When Lin Youlan's father came out of the bedroom, he yawned, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Du Ruo, and was startled, but unlike his wife, he walked over with a smile: "Is this the boyfriend Lan Lan talked about last time?" ”
"Hello uncle." Du Ruo also smiled, he was a little confused, and even stood a little stiffly beside Lin Youlan since he entered the door.
"Sit, sit! What are you doing standing, Lan Lan, you are really, how can you keep him standing! Lin Youlan's father smiled and pulled Du Ruo to the sofa and sat down, looking at Du Ruo up and down.
"Are you also from Shulin Middle School?" Lin Youlan's father began to ask questions, and Du Ruo knew that he had begun to become a prisoner under interrogation at this moment, a prisoner who stole someone's daughter.
"yes."
"How are you studying?"
"It's okay."
"Are you and Lan Lan from the same university?"
"Well, yes, we discussed it, and we reported the same volunteer."
"That's good. Where do you live? ”
"It's not far from here."
"To drink or not to drink?"
"Would you like to drink a little...... Will only drink beer. ”
"Okay, come with me a few drinks later."
"Okay."
Lin Youlan sneered on the side, and the two big men actually started to talk about such non-nutritious topics.
At the dinner table, Lin Youlan's father really went out and came back with a whole case of beer, and set up a whole row on the table, which startled Du Ruo and Lin Youlan.
"Dad! What are you doing here, my boyfriend can't drink that much! Otherwise, how can he go back! ”
"It's okay, let's stay at our house if you drink too much, there is still an empty room anyway."
"But you can't drink that much! The last time you got drunk and used our fridge as a ......"
"Hey, hey, hey! I can tell you, shut up, don't shake out all those old things and disgrace Dad! Lin Youlan's father glared at her, Lin Youlan pouted dissatisfiedly, snorted lightly, and then leaned on Du Ruo's ear and told him to drink less, and see how she punished him when he was drunk.
"Don't worry, I'm not drunk yet." Du Ruo patted his chest and said with a smile.
Lin Youlan's father widened his eyes again when he heard this: "Huh? Good boy, that's what you said! Come on, come on, you will come first in this first can. ”
"Thank you, uncle."
……
"Your name is Du Ruo, right? What do your parents do? Lin Youlan's mother suddenly asked.
"I ...... I don't know very well. At this time, Du Ruo didn't know how much he had drunk, and he answered her question honestly without thinking about it.
"Huh? You don't know either? ”
"Well, they haven't told me, but they're busy and often not at home."
"Okay then."
"Go and go, don't ask those who have it, disturb our brothers' drinking!" Lin Youlan's father seemed to have drunk too much, grinning heavily, and yelling that he wanted to marry Jin Lan with Du Ruoyi.
Lin Youlan covered her face a little embarrassed, pulled Du Ruo's sleeve, and wanted him to drink less, she was afraid that Du Ruo would also drink too much, and when her brain was hot, she would really form a brother with her father of the opposite sex, so it would be a lot of fun.
Du Ruo didn't seem to feel it, now he was almost drunk, his mind was confused, he didn't know what he was doing, he only knew how to drink, but he didn't say a word until now, he just drank with his head bored, and let Lin Youlan's father shout, and he didn't talk.
"Why did you leave...... In the end, Du Ruo got drunk, lay on the table, and muttered something in his mouth, Lin Youlan's parents didn't hear what he was talking about, but she heard it clearly, Lin Youlan gently pushed Du Ruo, and there was no movement.
Lin Youlan sighed, helped Du Ruo gently wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then carried the two drunks to the room to rest with her mother.
……
Du Ruo had never been drunk, it was true, but this was the first time he let go of drinking, and he finally got drunk.
In the end, he didn't know why he kept drinking, maybe he needed the paralysis of alcohol, or maybe it was alcohol that released his sadness, the shadow in his mind lingered, and the alcohol he drank seemed to slowly accumulate into that figure, gradually becoming clear.
So he drank more and more, and drank more and more, and her shadow became clearer and clearer in front of his eyes, and he was so pleasantly surprised that he thought she was back.
But the shadow turned away without hesitation, without giving a thought.
Du Ruo knew that his unwillingness had never dissipated, and he was unwilling to let the person he loved be snatched away like this.
But the facts tell him that he has no power to go back, he is just the most ordinary person, he has no superpowers, he can make people change his mind, and he does not have a time machine, he can go back to the past.
So for the first time he was so drunk, he finally knew why so many people like to drink, like to get drunk, and numb themselves with alcohol, it turns out that when he is drunk, he can see the person he wants, and he can vent all the unhappiness in his heart unscrupulously.
But fortunately, he held back, because he knew that he already had someone to try again, and he liked to try and love.
He didn't want to wake up, it was too beautiful in his dreams.
