07. Love is a constant sense of indebtedness

The summer of Yunshu is very long, the beginning of autumn has passed, and the summer of Yunshu has not yet passed. It was dark late, and tonight the moon was shining brightly, and there were gray clouds floating beside the full moon.

As soon as Xu Sui got home, he agreed to the friend application he sent on Eno's mobile phone, and almost every once in a while to see if there was any new news.

The landscape portrait of the blue sky, white clouds and green grass is about to be looked through by her.

Except for Zhaohua, all high schools in Yunshu City have to study at night. However, as soon as the school started, the No. 6 Middle School made an exception in this regard, and there was no need to study on self-study from the military training week to the end of the opening ceremony.

But she hadn't seen Eno since she ran in the playground in the afternoon.

Jiang Yan came to him today.

Did you go to play with your brother? Something at home?

"It's time to eat." Zheng Jingyan cooked the meal and called her outside the door.

Xu Sui answered.

The smell of food wafts through the living room, three dishes, one soup and two bowls of white rice are placed on the coffee table, and the TV is turned on to play the current hit drama.

Eating in the living room is the habit of Xu Sui's mother, Xu Manyue, who likes to eat while watching TV.

After she left, only Xu Sui and Zheng Jingyan remained, and this habit is still retained to this day.

Zheng Jingyan is not a humorous middle-aged uncle, he can't catch up with the trend, and he can't learn the hot stalks on the Internet.

Like most fathers, he is silent and does not have so many topics in common with his children, and only gives his children silent love.

With the TV on, they will not feel embarrassed by the "halfway father and daughter", and Zheng Jingyan can occasionally ask about Xu Sui's concern for Xu Sui in the background of the TV.

Beef brisket with potatoes, spicy sautéed lobster tails, spinach salad, and corn rib soup.

It's all Xu Sui's favorite dishes.

"I'm working extra today." Zheng Jingyan explained the reason why he was only eating now, and changed the corn rib soup to Xu Sui.

The corn rib soup soup is not greasy, moderately salty, and sweet.

Xu Sui soaked rice in soup, drank soup in a bowl, and ate rice when he couldn't drink any soup.

She rarely drinks soup, and always thinks that the oil floating on the soup is salty oil and water, except for the delicious food.

Zheng Jingyan's cooking skills are getting better and better.

It wasn't so good at first, he didn't know how to cook before.

After Xu Manyue left, Zheng Jingyan looked for her aunt and found that Xu Sui always ate very little, and his already thin body became thinner and thinner.

He thought that the food cooked by his aunt was not to suit Xu Sui's appetite, so he taught himself to cook.

Xu Sui was immersed in sadness during that time, had no appetite, and couldn't get out for a long time. When she looked back, Zheng Jingyan was already able to prepare a table of her favorite meals.

Can you still take care of her?

Could it be that Zheng Jingyan will be much less sad than hers?

No, it won't.

He once sent many voice messages to her mother's WeChat on a drunken late night.

Xu Manyue's mobile phone was given to Xu Sui before his death, because there were many photos of Xu Manyue and their group photos in the album.

That night, the phone message kept ringing.

rang so loudly that it woke Xu Sui up.

She had no intention of snooping, and a video call popped up.

Xu Sui didn't answer, and after the video call hung up, he listened to the voice after thinking about it for a long time.

He said, "Yueyue, I miss you so much. ”

He said: "It turns out that I can also cook a table of meals, and it turns out that cooking every day is tiring. I never knew how to make it for you. I've been asking you to cook for me, I'm sorry for the ......."

He said: "I have lost a lot of weight at the age of age, and I failed to take care of her, will you blame me?" ”

He also said: "I saw a young man holding a large bouquet of roses tonight, and I bought you a large bouquet as well, only to find that I couldn't go home to see you after buying." Even if it's not a festival, you can send flowers, but in the past, only festivals were given to you. Stay with me, let you suffer......"

……

Zheng Jingyan said a lot, and Xu Sui burst into tears when he heard it.

Compared with her biological father, who is not as good as a beast, Zheng Jingyan is very good to Xu Manyue.

I also love her and treat her as if it were my own.

That night, she really understood the meaning of that sentence -

Love is a constant sense of debt.

Xu Sui had a sense of wariness of a tall middle-aged man engraved in his bones, and it took a long time to accept his stepfather.

She has never been able to get along with Zheng Jingyan as close as her biological father and daughter.

Xu Sui was a little stiff and unfamiliar: "Dad, you have worked hard." ”

Zheng Jingyan was stunned, and the small half of the corn that he picked up fell into the soup, and the soup splashed, and the steady and mature man was rarely flustered.

He quickly wiped the table with a paper towel and re-clamped the corn into his bowl. Ask her how she is, "How was the first day of school?" ”

"It's good, I've made friends." Xu Sui eats with his head bored.

Zheng Jingyan nodded his head and remained silent.

The phone in his hand rang.

Xu Sui's heart jumped.

It must be Eno.

She turned on her phone to check, and sure enough, it was not true.

Riyu: [Picture]

Eno sent the photo she took.

She replied: Thank you~

Comes with a cute meme.

Riyu: No thanks.

Xu Sui kept tapping the twenty-six keys, repeating the words and then deleting them, thinking about what topic to throw out to chat with him.

WeChat rang again, not a message from Jiang Ye. It was she who was pulled into a group chat called "Blessed to share, difficult to leave the group".

Xu Sui thought that it was a class group, and set up a message do not disturb. However, since she was pulled in, the number of people next to the group name has never been increased, and it has always been five people.

She stayed in the group chat interface to see what kind of group it was.

[Blessed to share, difficult to retreat]

Yue Yun: Introduce @Chen Zuo, I'm small.

Yue Yun: I announce the official establishment of the five-member group!

Chen Zuo: Long live!

Li Niannian: You unilaterally announced?

Riyu: Shame on you.

Yue Yun: Jiang Ye, why don't you change your group nickname? Our small group doesn't like to be mavericks.

The next moment, Eno withdrew from the group chat.

[Blessed to share, difficult to retreat] (4)

Yue Yun: ......

Li Niannian: 6.

Chen Zuo: Five-member group-1, it should be called four-person group now.

Yue Yun: Climb, someone will persuade him to come back.

Li Niannian: Good luck.

Yue Yun: I don't sin like this......

Xu Sui watched them play treasure in the group, and while eating, one of them couldn't help laughing.

Zheng Jingyan almost put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating, and called her, "Sui Sui." ”

"Huh?" Her mouth snapped, her eyes glued to the screen of her phone.

"High school should focus on academics, not early love." Zheng Jingyan said earnestly.

Xu Sui's face was hot, and he said busily: "I know, I'm chatting with my new friends." ”

With that, she turned off her phone.

Zheng Jingyan was relieved when he saw this, this kid had never let him worry about it.

The sensible and obedient child who doesn't let people worry about it received a new message from Eno after the meal, a photo full of stars and a short sentence "made into dried flowers".

It was the white starry bouquet she gave him, which was made into dried flowers, tied up with ribbons, tied into a delicate bow, and placed in a picture frame.

It's like a thank you gift she gave him, which he carefully treasured.

Her sincerity was met with tangible feedback.

How can people not be moved?

Xu Sui's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he looked at the starry photo over and over again.

When the moon hid in the clouds and went to sleep with the lights out, she thought a little rebelliously, and the crush that she couldn't fall in love with the bottom of her heart didn't seem to conflict.
