215 Complexion
Ze Zhixun was busy in the kitchen, the spatula was stir-frying back and forth in the pot, and the beads of sweat on his forehead couldn't help but bubble out, but he didn't mind at all, and turned over the ribs in the pot with a spatula, thinking that Xie Lan should also get off work at this time, Ze Zhixun extinguished the range hood.
The man took out a white porcelain plate from the cupboard, and then carefully shoveled the contents of the pot onto the plate, he was choked with oil smoke, but now he looked satisfied. The rich soup is poured on top of the pork chops in the sauce, and the aroma is fragrant, and it looks very tempting.
Ze Zhixun brought the prepared ribs to the table, the sweat on the man's forehead was still gushing out, and he couldn't help but raise his arm to wipe it. At this moment, there was a sudden sound at the door, Ze Zhixun hurriedly straightened up and walked towards the door, presumably Xie Lan was back, the corner of the man's eyes couldn't help but overflow with a little joy, and then opened the door, "Lan Lan, you're back." His voice was filled with an inexplicable anticipation.
Then, the moment he opened the door, Ze Zhixun was dumbfounded, and the man's eyes immediately dimmed, because it was not only Xie Lan who came back, but also He Beichen who was carrying a schoolbag behind the woman, and the two of them were relatively speechless, and seemed to be in a stalemate. Xie Lan found that Ze Zhixun's expression was very solemn, and the woman was a little embarrassed, she smiled awkwardly, "Oh, that, Zhixun, I think, I want Beichen to live with us." As soon as she said this, Ze Zhixun's face became even more ugly, and his eyes showed obvious indifference.
Look at He Beichen again, he is even more so, the look in his eyes is extremely cold, he thinks that there is no need to look at Ze Zhixun's face, he didn't want to come to this family, if it wasn't for Xie Lan forcing him, he He Beichen would not give Ze Zhixun this face. But Xie Lan is different, the woman is obvious, she cares more about Ze Zhixun's feelings, "Zhixun, that, I, I don't mean anything, it's Beichen, it's really inappropriate for Beichen to live alone in the old house." On one side is her lover, and on the other side is her baby son, Xie Lan couldn't help but look sad.
He Beichen was very disgusted with his mother's posture, the kind of strength she treated herself had disappeared, but in a blink of an eye, it became such a grievance, which made Beichen's heart very uncomfortable. Looking at Ze Zhixun's stinky face, the young man couldn't wait to spit it out. Bei Chen bit his lower lip, as if thinking about something, "So be it." His tone was hard, without the slightest warmth, "Since, you don't want me to live here." Then I'll take the book and leave. His words naturally surprised Xie Lan, she didn't expect her son to go back on her word, of course, the most disappointing thing for women was Ze Zhixun's attitude.
But Ze Zhixun didn't speak for a long time, which made He Beichen feel disgusted, and the young man was a little impatient, "What do you mean?" Yes, you don't accept me either. He Beichen is most self-aware, and then the young man's words changed again, "But no matter what, this is also my mother's new home." His tone was already very polite, seeing Bei Chen's calm appearance on the surface, no one knew that there was an irrepressible anger in his heart, and that clenched fist was the best proof.
Ze Zhixun looked very helpless, the man's face hung long, looking like that, he was also forced to do so, he pursed his lips, and his tone was very low, "Then you come in." Then he turned around and didn't look at Xie Lan again, as if he was angry. And He Beichen didn't say anything more, he was already an unpopular person in this family, so naturally there was no need to make too many remarks, the young man was very interesting, and he walked straight to the study. Unexpectedly, such a bright move caused Ze Zhixun's disgust.
"Did you just go to the study?" Ze Zhixun's voice was very high, but it was no different from a roar, He Beichen couldn't help but be startled by him, but the young man didn't rush to turn around, but stood quietly in place, his breathing couldn't help but become short. No matter how you say it, Beichen is also a child, and compared with a man of Ze Zhixun's age, he is still a little tender.
"Look at the floor of my house being trampled on by you." Seeing that He Beichen didn't speak, Ze Zhixun intensified, the man thought that Beichen was afraid of him, but he didn't know that the young man had put up with him for too long, the floor of your house, this is really Ze Zhixun's home. Bei Chen thought about it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but sneer. "You don't even know how to step on the mat when you enter the door, something that has no culture." The more Ze Zhixun scolded, the more energetic he became, after all, Beichen was not his son, so he naturally didn't care about the weight of what he said.
"I'm not educated?" This time He Beichen was really angry, Ze Zhixun's words were really ruthless. He, He Beichen, has never scolded him like this since he was born. After all, he has excellent grades, so naturally he will hear more praise. And now the man actually reprimanded him for not being educated. He Beichen really doesn't understand, what does it mean to be uneducated, is this man laughing at his father's early death? The more Beichen thought about it, the more unpleasant it became, but he turned around sharply and touched the sharp eyes of his mother Xie Lan.
"Beichen, you are rude today, you have to change your slippers when you enter the house, this is the rule." Xie Lan's words choked He Beichen couldn't say a single word "no", and his anger was also cooled by Xie Lan's iceberg-like eyes, yes, he He Beichen didn't have any status in this family, and then the young man turned around silently, "I'll clean you up later." Bei Chen's words were crisp and neat, he really didn't want to be in such a stalemate with Ze Zhixun anymore, he was really tired, and there was a kind of fatigue that he couldn't handle. Now every minute in the new house is a torment for He Beichen.
Bei Chen bit his lip tightly, seeing that he was about to bite out a blood, his pace became faster and faster, but Zhang Zezhixun's complaint would be passed behind him, "You see this rabbit cub stepping on the floor of our house, really, there are no rules at all." Ze Zhixun still looked extremely angry as he spoke, which made Xie Lan on the side a little unbearable. The woman didn't care about the man's harshness to He Beichen, but she cared more about Ze Zhixun's feelings. Therefore, her baby son was wronged like that, she didn't care, but comforted Ze Zhixun.
"Zhixun, okay, okay, don't be angry." Xie Lan hurriedly took the man's hand as he spoke, and there was a flattering hint in his delicate tone, "Beichen is also a child, so don't worry about him." Xie Lan thought that it would be good for a gentle man like Ze Zhixun to comfort him. Unexpectedly, her current husband didn't pay attention to her, "He's still a child?" Ze Zhixun angrily shook her off, "He's sixteen years old, can't he even do such the most basic things?" Ze Zhixun said, his thick eyebrows furrowed together, and that appearance really scared Xie Lan.
This was originally just a trivial matter, who would have thought that Ze Zhixun would hold on to it. "Look at the good son you educated, you have to change your slippers when you enter the door, you don't even understand such rules, you are really used to him." Ze Zhixun said with a look of concern. All students in school know that Xie Lan is extremely strict with Beichen, and now words like "pampered" have come out of a man's mouth, which is really a joke.
For Ze Zhixun's rude reprimand, Xie Lan seemed helpless, but he had to deal with his current husband, "That." The woman pursed her thin lips slightly, and there was a slight apology on her petite cheeks, "Zhixun, today's incident is indeed Beichen's fault, and I blame my godson for having no way, so you can forgive him." Xie Lan's tone was full of pleading, she hadn't said such a lowly thing for a long time, but now that she was married to Ze Zhixun, she had to soften.
When the conversation between his mother and this man faintly reached He Beichen's ears, the tears in the young man's eyes couldn't help but roll in his eyes, and his lower lip had been bitten out of a blood mark by himself, but Beichen didn't dare to make any sound, the speed of his hands couldn't help but speed up, and he seemed to stuff the books on the bookcase into the black backpack without any clue, and finally he couldn't fit it anymore, so the young man simply picked up the bookcase on the ground and stuffed the remaining books into the bookcase. At this time, He Beichen thought more that he would never come to this new house again.
After cleaning up all this, the young man put on the black backpack on the desk, Bei Chen's shoulders were pressed very low, such a weight seemed to make him breathless, but he really didn't want to stay in this place for long. Then he quickly picked up his bookcase and walked to the outside of the study, the young man's arms were stretched out very straight, and the heavy bookcase made him feel the pain in his muscles, but the young man did not put down the intention of resting, but moved to the door of the house in one go.
Seeing the beads of sweat on He Beichen's forehead, Ze Zhixun and his wife didn't have any intention of helping. On the contrary, these two people actually sat in the dining room and began to eat, and there was an indescribable tenderness in Ze Zhixun's eyes, "Come, Lanlan, you eat a piece of pork ribs, I have been doing it for a long time, you can taste my craftsmanship and see if you are satisfied?" He Beichen straightened up with some difficulty, the young man actually had a kind of nausea from the bottom of his heart, the sweat on Chen's forehead ran down the boy's cheeks, those eyes looked directly at his mother, she smiled so happily, it seemed that this man could cook for her, which was the happiest thing in the world.
At the same time, Ze Zhixun's eyes inadvertently looked at Bei Chen, the man's face changed faster than turning a book, and he was still affectionate in the last second, but now he has changed into a vicious face, "What are you looking at?" Ze Zhixun's eyebrows raised in a kind of arrogance that didn't need to be said, "Go, take a mop and mop the floor for me." The man shouted loudly, more like he was directing a subordinate.
And all Beichen can do at this time is forbearance. First, he didn't want to make his mother angry, and second, he didn't want to entangle with the man in front of him anymore, and He Beichen was obviously not his opponent. The boy didn't say anything, as silent as ever, but his slightly immature hand was clenched so tightly at some point.
