The things made by Song Yihan were unexpectedly unpalatable, but Shi Xu was not picky at all, and silently emptied the food in the bowl, Song Yihan leaned over and asked him with an expectant face: "Shi Xu, is it delicious?" ”

Shi Xu put down his chopsticks and looked at Song Yihan as if he was looking at a large dog that had been waiting to be praised, he opened his eyes and let out a low "um".

Song Yihan's face was like a smile, and he was cleaning up the bowl with a fart, but Shi Xu stopped him: "I'll take it, you rest early." ”

He ignored Song Yihan's refusal and walked directly towards the sink with the plate.

Song Yihan followed behind Shi Xu, and wanted to stick to him: "Then I'll wash with you, and we'll wash it together." ”

Shi Xu drove him away mercilessly: "I'm afraid that you will clumsily smash my plates, go take a bath and sleep, don't let me say it a second time." ”

Shi Xu's tone of voice was like that of a parent who disciplines his children, Song Yihan snorted a few times beside Shi Xu, and finally chose to listen to Shi Xu's words.

The brisk footsteps faded away, and Shi Xu stopped the washing movements of his hands, closed his eyes and propped himself up on both sides of the sink, his eyes slightly red.

It had been a long time since he had been so embarrassed, and after getting used to indifference, he was even more afraid of gentleness, afraid that he would indulge again.

"Spare me......"

But how could Song Yihan let him go, he happily pestered Shi Xu and completely integrated himself into Shi Xu's life.

Shi Xu didn't know what to do, he could only flee to one place.

A pair of warm hands stroked Shi Xu's head, making his tense nerves slowly relax, and he opened his eyes and said lazily: "Grandma, I don't want to go back." ”

Before the old man who was stroking him could speak, another deep voice came: "Stinky boy, whenever something happens, you know that you are coquettish with your grandmother, and you have no backbone." ”

Shi Xu propped himself up and sat cross-legged on the sofa, yawning listlessly: "You have backbone, then don't drink behind your grandmother's back." ”

When the old man touched the wine cabinet, he stiffened, and he shrank his neck to meet the warning eyes of his wife.

"Old man, stand there and don't move, see if I don't throw away all your bottles and cans for you." As she spoke, Mrs. Shi stood up and entangled with Mr. Shi by the wine cabinet.

"Don't don't, it's really going to fall!"

"You see you've secretly drunk a few glasses this week, and you dare to drink it, I think you're going to go to the house to uncover the tiles!"

Shi Xu leaned on the sofa and watched this scene, laughing sullenly, Old Man Shi was so angry that he blew his beard and glared: "It's all you, stinky boy, why don't you hurry up and help your grandfather!" ”

Shi Xu was like a lazy cat, he didn't move to the sofa, and said loudly: "My grandmother and I are on the same side, you can save yourself." ”

Mrs. Shi couldn't snatch the bottle from the old man's hand several times, so she could only give up angrily, and complained to Shi Xu while walking: "Your grandfather is not as sensible as you, and the older you get, the more you live, the more you go back." ”

As he spoke, he heard the person behind him take a sip of wine, sigh helplessly and shake his head.

Shi Xu made room for his grandmother, leaned on her grandmother's shoulder and said to her old man, "Don't be angry, I'll scold him with you." ”

Mrs. Shi lovingly pinched Shi Xu's face and asked him, "Are you in a bad mood?" ”

Shi Xu puffed out his cheeks and nodded, only by being around the closest people could he remove all his guards and disguises, and open his soft belly to show weakness.

After tasting the taste, the old man sat down with satisfaction, as if nothing had happened just now, and educated Shi Xu seriously: "Young man, it is normal to encounter some setbacks, you must move forward bravely, when your grandfather was a soldier, he was not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and he rushed forward vigorously, how could he be so squeamish as you." ”

Shi Xu twitched the corners of his mouth, he had heard his grandfather's words of showing off more than a thousand times, and his ears were calloused.

"Our little cosy is like you with rough skin and thick meat, while staying!" The old lady coaxed the heart and liver like a baby, and the old man was cold, a typical differential treatment.

Shi Xu rubbed his grandmother's palm, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm fine, I'll be in a good mood as soon as I see you." ”

Although Mrs. Shi didn't know what her precious grandson had suffered outside, she knew what he wanted to do most now.

"Go ahead, don't stay upstairs for too long, remember to come down and get something to eat later."

Shi Xu obediently complied, and walked towards the room on the second floor step by step.

The old man looked at his grandson's back and chatted with the old woman: "Do you say that Xiaoxu will cry later?" ”

"What the hell...... It's been a long time since Xiao Xu cried. The old lady took the sweater that had been half-beaten before and continued to beat it, and her old eyes were full of pity.

Old Man Shi stopped talking, closed his eyes to help the old woman roll the ball, and in a daze, he seemed to see Shi Xu, who was not as tall as his legs, sitting alone in the room, looking at the window silently, and burst into tears.

Shi Xu pushed open a door, fumbled for the position of the switch on the wall, and lit up the entire room with a "snap".

Although the room has not been occupied for a long time, it is still clean and spotless.

This is not Shi Xu's room, but Shi Xu's refuge here is his rabbit hole.

Shi Xu looked at the photos posted on the wall, there were no beautiful scenery or intimate group photos, some were all battlefields full of fireworks.

That's where his parents met and loved, and where they were buried.

When Shi Xu was a child, he hated all photos, he hated the thin piece of paper that separated him from his parents, but when he grew up, he was full of curiosity about the land behind the photos, curious about what held his parents back.

"Mom and Dad, I'm bothering you again."

Shi Xu took out the only photo of the two from the drawer at the head of the bed, and gently stroked the two people in the photo.

"The last time I told you I was going to break up with him, I really broke up, but it's only been a few days, and I'm entangled with him again." Shi Xu hung his head in frustration and was angry with himself: "I'm really useless. ”

Just as he was saying this, Song Yihan's phone called, and the name that kept appearing seemed to be mocking him proudly, Shi Xu held up the phone and complained to his parents: "You see, this person has been pestering me, he really hates it." ”

The phone rang relentlessly for a long time, and Shi Xu had no choice but to pick it up: "What's wrong?" ”

Song Yihan's voice came, and he seemed to be a little aggrieved: "Why haven't you come back yet?" ”

Shi Xu pinched his mobile phone and sat by the window, facing the evening breeze and said, "I have something to do, I want to go back later." ”

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time and asked him, "Shi Xu, are you hiding from me?" ”

"Nope." Shi Xu immediately replied to Song Yihan, in the past few days, he has slept in the laboratory for three days, and he does have a little bit of a desire to avoid him, but today is really not.

Song Yihan didn't know what to say, he put himself in a very low position, he didn't know where he was not good enough, and he was a little discouraged.

For the first time in his life, he seriously chased people, and it was a wrong step.

The two talked on the phone, listening to each other's breathing, and the thought that neither was going to hang up.

After a long hesitation, Shi Xu finally spoke.

"Song Yihan, don't you want to know the reason for our breakup?" There was nowhere to put his gaze, none of the thousands of lights outside the window belonged to him, and with what little courage he had left, he tore a hole in the past.

"I'll tell you."

Shi Xu closed his eyes and put the photo in front of his forehead, silently telling in his heart: Parents, let me try again, if it still doesn't work this time, I will accept my fate.

When Shi Xu went downstairs, he saw his grandmother covering his grandfather with a quilt, and although he was muttering words of blame, the picture was still warm and harmonious.

He whispered goodbye to his grandmother: "I'm going back." ”

Mrs. Shi sent him to the door: "Found the answer?" ”

The fine hair on his forehead when the evening breeze blew made the glint in his eyes more dazzling, and he nodded to his grandmother and said, "I still can't give up what I want." ”

Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Xu, who was becoming more and more mature and upright with time, and smiled with relief: "You control your own life, no matter what decision you make, we will support you." ”

Shi Xu hugged his grandmother before leaving, and whispered, "I'll bring someone over to see you next time, I hope you don't dislike it." ”

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and when Shi Xu left, she ran back to the house happily and woke up the old man who was in a deep sleep.

"When you are old, your grandson is going to bring his granddaughter-in-law to see you!"

Old Man Shi looked confused: ...... What daughter-in-law? Who's the daughter-in-law?

Here Song Yihan hung up the phone and couldn't sit still, he wanted to know the reason for the breakup, but he was afraid to know the reason.

What if he really did something sorry for Shi Xu? What if Shi Xu refuses to forgive him?

The anxiety dissipated instantly the moment Song Yihan saw Shi Xu, and he realized that the cranky thoughts he had just made were meaningless.

This man is the answer to all his questions.

Song Yihan looked at Shi Xu's eyes, and suddenly grinned, with a bit of shameless meaning: "You can't kick me out after you finish speaking." ”

Shi Xu looked at Song Yihan's face, his heart was sour, and he wanted to throw everything away and throw himself into his arms.

But no, he has to wait, he has to wait until he is completely alone.

"Do you remember Fang Xiaoqin?"

Song Yihan shook his head, he heard Shi Xu say: "He is the person you have liked for a long time." ”

It's a strange feeling, the person he loves the most is standing in front of him, but he says that he likes another person who doesn't even know his name.

"I'm jealous of him." Shi Xu poured himself a glass of water and suppressed the timidity in his heart, "So the moment I saw that you were still in contact with him, I decided to fulfill you." ”

Song Yihan's heart jumped when he heard Shi Xu say the word "jealousy", and he could hardly believe that Shi Xu had such emotions for him.

"Shixu, you ......"

Song Yihan's hand grabbed Shi Xu's wrist uncontrollably, his lips trembled, and he nervously wanted to ask something.

Shi Xu pierced him at a glance, he calmly and seriously, held his scarred heart in front of Song Yihan, and handed him the opportunity to choose again.

"Song Yihan, I have to admit it to this day."

"I still have you in my heart."
