"Eat." Yuan Ben put the seafood porridge in front of Xu Douxiao, and he took the cold red wine and pear on the opposite side to dig and eat.

Xu Douxiao took a sip, it was still a familiar taste, the rice grains were soft and glutinous, the shrimp were springy, and the spicy ginger was just right, this situation was too ideal, the dream bubble was as light as it was in his heart, and he was like being thrown into the deep sea, afraid of depression. He couldn't sit still any longer, and dropped a sentence: "I'd better go after her." "Deserted and fled.

Xu Douxiao fled back to the car, recalling himself a week ago, when he was looking forward to Yuan Ben's smile and rehearsing several bloody dramas, and when he really acted, he found that he couldn't control it at all.

"Gu Yue, are you free at night? …… Okay, I'll go look for you...... Well, have a drink and see you later. ”

Gu Yue is in the barbecue restaurant in the alley behind the People's Artist Theater, in the slender space, five tables are crowded, and the freshly skewered meat skewers are grilled on the stove to make a fat fat, and the charcoal fire is rustling. When Xu Douxiao entered the door, he saw Gu Yue sitting in the position of the air conditioner, his shirt rolled up to his elbows, his tie and suit jacket casually thrown on the greasy plastic stool, and he was engrossed in cooking a handful of mutton. There was also a new face sitting across from him, wearing the simplest T-shirt but standing out because of his good looks.

"Hey, Lao Xu, what's this?" Gu Yue greeted him and introduced by the way, "This is my buddy, an official actor and performing artist of the People's Art Theater, Yi Long." This is my old classmate Xu Douxiao. ”

Yi Long stretched out his hand and shook Xu Douxiao, pursed his lips and smiled, not like an artist: "Hello." ”

"Hello." Xu Dou greeted him politely, a little embarrassed, he originally intended to talk to Gu Yue and let him help him get his idea, but he couldn't say anything when others were present.

Yi Long is worthy of being a people's performing artist, and he is very sensitive to human emotions, he saw that Xu Douxiao and Gu Yue had something to talk about, and said to Gu Shao: "I still have something to go first." ”

"Huh? Isn't it the store you picked? Leaving without eating? ”

"I'm losing weight for the next show." Elon explained, "I recommended this place if you want meat. ”

"Are you still minus? No matter how thin he is, his head is even bigger. ”

Yi Long didn't bother to pay attention to him, and only said that he still had something to do, and Gu Yue still wanted to keep him, but he was stopped by a look.

"I'm really in trouble, I'll drink together next time."

"Okay, okay, let's make an appointment next time."

After Yi Long said goodbye, Gu Yue noticed that half of his old friend's face was red, and quipped, "What's wrong?" I was raped! ”

Xu Douxiao didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Gu Yue realized at this time that this was not an ordinary invitation, and immediately became serious: "What's the situation?" Why did Ning Jun turn his face? ”

"I have a house, you know."

"I know, that high-level, she wants to add a name, you don't agree? Not really. ”

"It's not. I didn't tell her I had a house. ”

"Huh?" Gu Yue almost choked to death with beer, "You concealed your property and let people get caught?" No, why are you hiding your property? Isn't it just a house with a 30-year loan? ”

"I just didn't have time to say it." Xu Douxiao lacks confidence.

Gu Yue disagreed: "This thing is also easy to do, you can say that you want to give her a surprise, and you want to talk about it after the house is renovated, but I didn't expect her to find out in advance, in fact, she checked you for this matter, and she will be at a loss, buy a bag and coax it over in a few words." ”

“…… Yuan Ben lives there. ”

Gu Yue couldn't believe his ears: "You say it again? ”

"Yuan Ben lives there."

"You've been caught raped in bed?!!" Gu Yue's tone suddenly became higher.

Xu Douxiao didn't know why he thought of it so far from Yuan Ben's residence, so he hurriedly stopped him: "What nonsense are you talking about!" ”

He explained in a low voice: "That is, he has had a problem at work recently, and I will lend him the house for a transition." ”

"No, you're sick in the head! Lending a house to Yuan Ben to live in? Gu Yue looked at his pitiful appearance with a swollen face with low eyebrows and hated that iron could not become steel, and turned to reprimand Yuan Ben angrily, "What kind of intentions is he!" How can I live with you! You've just gotten on the right track, and he wants to stir up the yellow again! ”

"He's really having a hard time."

"It's hard to find me! I'm selling the house, and I'll arrange a presidential suit for him, and I can arrange it for a year first, which is not better than living with you. ”

"You don't talk to him at all."

"Who am I for? Xu Douxiao, do you have a conscience? ”

"I ...... Yuan Ben can't be blamed for the breakup, he ...... He also felt sorry for me. ”

Xu Douxiao finally told what happened three years ago.

Xu Douxiao's family is typical of female dominance, with her mother controlling everything strongly, and her father silently obeying management.

His mother is a middle school teacher, she has been a class teacher for 20 years, and she has been the winner of the Outstanding People's Teacher Award for 18 years. She is strict with her students, and she is naturally more than her son, Xu Douxiao has successfully grown into a "child of someone else" under the guidance of her mother in accordance with the education development planning table, outstanding student representative, student union president, national scholarship winner, Ivy League study, company partner, plus a tall and handsome face, obedient and sensible, Xu's mother can be said to be more proud, just waiting for him to find a gentle and virtuous girl to marry and have children, she will complete a mother's life mission.

Such a baby son likes a man.

Mother Xu can't accept it no matter what.

Xu's mother found out that her son was bent because of a sudden visit, she went north to visit an old friend, and the meeting place was not far from Xu Douxiao's newly bought house, thinking that her son should be at home on the weekend, so she didn't call but went upstairs to ring the doorbell.

That day, Xu Dou Xiaozheng and Yuan Ben were enjoying the holiday at home, and when the doorbell rang, they thought it was to collect coal and water bills, and they didn't think much about opening the door directly.

"Ah, Auntie, hello." Yuan Ben stumbled to say hello, and called out to Xu Douxiao who was lying on the bed in a panic, "Xu Douxiao, your mother is here." ”

This voice was more effective than the air defense siren, and he heard a loud bang in the bedroom, and then Xu Douxiao rushed out with his hair unkempt: "Mom, why are you here?" ”

Mother Xu didn't speak, and rushed into the bedroom directly past the two big men - throwing an unfolded blanket on the double bed, opening the wardrobe - two different styles of men's clothing, opening the bathroom - toiletries for two, she never heard Xu Douxiao mention Yuan Ben, in her impression, Yuan Ben was just a classmate who had a good relationship with her son in college, and as he studied abroad, he gradually became estranged, but such a person opened the door of Xu Douxiao's house in a quite comfortable home state, this situation, She didn't need to be a genius to understand what was going on.

"Mom?" Xu Douxiao stood at the door of the bedroom, with a cautious expression.

Mother Xu ignored him and directly ordered Yuan Ben to expel the guest: "Xiao Yuan, I have something to talk about with Xu Douxiao, you go home first." ”

Mother Xu's calm was panicking, as if the calm before the rainstorm, Yuan Ben glanced at Xu Douxiao, who gave him a look, reassuring him that he could handle it.

Yuan Ben nodded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll go first for that auntie, you talk, Dou, Lao Xu, call me if you have something." ”

He was also embarrassed to open the closet in front of Xu's mother to find a change of clothes, so he could only wear a vest and big pants and take his wallet and mobile phone and leave, pretending that he had always been informal.

As soon as Yuan Ben left, Xu's mother said two words to Xu Douxiao: "It's broken." ”

Xu Douxiao didn't understand: "What? ”

"I said yes. You and Yuan Ben are not allowed to interact with each other in the future. Mother Xu sat on the sofa with her hands crossed, like a strict old lady who governs the family, "I have already given you two enough face today, and if I just break it, I will treat it as if I didn't see anything today." ”

Xu Douxiao grew up under the pressure of his mother since he was a child, and he has always tried to do his best, perhaps because he has been independent for many years, so he can no longer stand Xu's mother's life for himself

Speaking of the same attitude, he also replied coldly: "Impossible." ”

Xu Mu stood up suddenly, raised her hand and slapped it, fast and fierce, so that Xu Douxiao's molars moved a little, and the smell of rust in her mouth was for a moment: "Say it again." ”

Xu Douxiao was angry by this slap, and his neck stiffened: "Impossible." ”

Xu's mother was resisted by her son for the first time, and she trembled with anger, and she greeted Xu Douxiao with something at hand, and scolded while beating: "Xu Douxiao, it's against you!" I'm going to cure you today! I gave birth to you and raised you! If I can't teach you well today, I might as well beat you to death instead of letting someone poke me in the back! ”

Xu Douxiao let her beat at first, but then the more she scolded, the more ugly she became, scolding Yuan Ben for seducing her own vixen, who had no ability and would only rely on men to eat, he really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he snatched the guy in Xu's mother's hand, threw it away, and pressed the person on the sofa. Xu Muhuo became even bigger, pointing at Xu Douxiao's nose and unable to say a complete sentence: "You...... You...... Good...... All right. ”

Xu Douxiao ignored her, changed his clothes and came out: "I beat and scolded, I scolded and scolded, it is impossible for me to break off with Yuan Ben, we have been together for eight years, you can admit it." I'll take you to the hotel first, and I'll talk about what happens when you calm down. ”

Xu's mother failed to recover from the blow of her good son resisting her for a while, and was sent to a hotel not far from Xu Douxiao's house.

When Xu Douxiao came back from the hotel, Yuan Ben, who was dressed like a garden man, was probing his brain downstairs to confirm that he had come back alone.

"Why don't you go up?"

"I didn't have the keys with me."

"Why don't you bring the key?"

"Your mother is here, do I dare to take the key to your house?"

"You can't see it if you don't take my mother? You don't take the old lady too seriously, do you? ”

"See?"

"I see."

"How?"

Xu Douxiao didn't speak, took off his shirt and showed him. Yuan Ben looked at the bruises and purple purples all over his body, and his heart was about to die of pain.

"Does it hurt?"

"It hurts." Xu Douxiao hugged him coquettishly, "It hurts very much." But I'm not going to break with you, never. ”

In the evening, Xu Douxiao received a call from the hospital, and Xu's mother cut her wrists in the hotel.
