Still the same

Shu Le suffered from insomnia, and at 12:30 in the evening she still hadn't fallen asleep.

The first reason is because of the past events that Shu's mother talked about tonight, she couldn't help feeling sad.The past five years between her and Qi Siqiao are nothing compared to the 28 years of Shu's mother.And... Mother Shu hasn't waited yet.

What are you attached to?What are you waiting for?Don't wait, just give up.

Shu Le almost burst out these words, but she felt that as an outsider, she had no right to say such words, even though she was her mother's daughter.

Sometimes waiting is not just waiting, it has become a belief, and it is not so important to wait or not to get it.

This is the case with Shu's mother. She is just holding on and waiting. If she is asked to give up, Shu Le feels that her mother may collapse.

And Shu's mother also said that it was because of this incident that she got sick last year. The emotions that had been accumulated for so many years reached their peak last year. She really lost control, so it became like that.

"Crying is not crying, laughing is not laughing, people are not people, and ghosts are not ghosts." Mama Shu described herself in this way, with a sad expression, dull eyes, and the word "sad" engraved on the slightly raised corners of her mouth.

It's really sad, Shu Le can empathize with it even watching it from the sidelines.

But there is another thing she is thinking about now: Qi Siqiao hasn't sent her a message since he returned home.

Qi Siqiao is at home now, and Shu Le still called the other party at ten o'clock when he didn't reply to the message.

She was a little worried and didn't know what was going on with Qi Siqiao, but Qi Siqiao's cell phone was turned off.

Shu Le had a faint bad premonition in his heart, and then he asked Li Wen again, and the answer he got was that Qi Siqiao had gone home, and she and Xiao Wang didn't follow her, so how could she know about Xiao Qiao's current situation.

Well, Shu Le rubbed her hair. She was so anxious that she forgot what happened just now. Li Wen and Qi Siqiao are just colleagues or friends. How could it be possible that Qi Siqiao would follow her when she returned home.

Then Li Wen comforted her: "Don't worry, Xiao Qiao will be fine. She has to go back to the set to film tomorrow morning. Maybe she is staying with her family right now and forgot to charge her phone."

There is no problem with this explanation and reason, and Shu Le can only follow Li Wen's words to make himself feel at ease.

But she still couldn't sleep because she hadn't waited for Qi Siqiao's reply.

Shu Le leaned against the head of the bed, the lamp on the bedside table next to her shone everywhere, and her body cast a shadow on the bed.

She just looked at her phone and sent a message to Qi Siqiao in a few minutes, her eyes were a little dry.

Finally, after another 10 minutes, Qi Siqiao sent her a message back.

Shu Le was a little drowsy at first, but she kept supporting herself, and now she felt drowsy and ran away when she saw the reply.

Qi Qi: [Don't worry]

Qi Qi: [As soon as I got home, my mother dragged me to meet her friends]

Qi Qi: [The phone is turned off, I have been forgetting to bring it]

Shu Le breathed a sigh of relief: [Okay, then go to bed early]

Qi Qi: [Wait]

Shule: [?What's wrong】

Qi Qi: 【I mean sleep later, I can't sleep now. 】

Shu Le: [Then... the video? 】

As soon as she sent it, Qi Siqiao sent a video invitation.

"I'm sorry, I made you worry." Qi Siqiao's entire face was exposed, her hair was still wrapped in a towel, and there were still drops of water on her face. It was obvious that she had just taken a shower.

Her voice was a little unhappy, and Shu Le could hear it.

Shu Le: "What's wrong?"

Qi Siqiao fixed the phone, her face was far away from the camera, and her upper body in a bathrobe also appeared in the screen, and then she said while wiping her hair, "I'm a little tired."

Shu Le knows that "a little tired" basically means "very tired" to Qi Siqiao.

Shu Le sighed, her brows frowned. She loves her so much now, so she really wanted to hug Qi Siqiao in her arms to comfort her, but she is still in Yuncheng, the day after tomorrow, oh no, it's already five years old. The number is up, that is, she will not be able to arrive in the capital until tomorrow.

If she persisted for another day, she would be able to see Qi Siqiao.

Shu Le pursed her lips and asked, "Uncle, did they... say anything?"

"Yes, I have."

"Ok?"

Qi Siqiao smiled, stopped wiping her hair with her hands, looked at Shu Le's face with clear eyes, wrinkled her nose and said: "My mother's friend's house, that is, an aunt's house, my father just asked me to follow Shu Le's face." The sons of their family are on a blind date."

"…and then?"

"I've never seen that man before. It turns out that he grew up overseas and just came back two months ago. He graduated from a famous foreign university and speaks a foreign language fluently. He's quite a gentleman."

Shu Le nodded: "Yes." She guessed that the other party's conditions would not be bad.

Qi Siqiao recalled the scene at that time, and said: "Then my parents asked me to chat with him alone."

"Ah."

"As it turned out, he had a showdown with me while we were still in the garden."

"What's the showdown? Is there a partner?"

"Wow, Mr. Shu, I guessed it all." Qi Siqiao rolled his eyes, "Yes, and he still has boyfriends."

"puff…"

"Then he said that even if he liked watching my movies and TV shows, he wouldn't be with me."

The corners of Shu Le's lips raised: "Very good."

"I'm happy too. I went out with him and met his boyfriend."

Shu Le: "Well...this development..."

"His boyfriend is my fan, and I even signed it." Qi Siqiao raised his eyebrows, "Am I really that popular now?"

"Don't be so pretty."

"You are jealous."

Shu Le touched his nose and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, I thought you were locked up by your parents."

"No way." Qi Siqiao stretched out her hand and performed an intangible pat on the head in the air, she smiled, "Okay, Teacher Shu, go to sleep, I'll go to sleep after I finish blowing my hair. "

Shu Le nodded: "Good night, see you tomorrow."

No matter how you say it, as long as the other party doesn't encounter any embarrassing things.

On the afternoon of the 5th, Shu Le went back to her father again, and she was called back by Shu tomorrow.

In the living room, Shu Le was sitting on the single sofa. On the coffee table in front of him was a glass of Coke with ice, which Shu Fu poured for her.

Shu Fu didn't go out now, he was also at home.

Shu Ming sat upright on the sofa in the middle, holding a newspaper in his hand, and read it seriously with glasses on.

"Going to the capital again tomorrow?" Shu Ming asked Shu Le with his glasses still on the newspaper.

Shu Le nodded: "Well, yes."

"When are you coming back?"

"I don't know yet." Shu Le picked up the cold glass, "Maybe I'll be back in a few days." After speaking, he drank water.

Where did she not know, she actually planned to stay in the capital for ten days and a half months before coming back, but she was worried that her father would be angry if she said it now.

Her dad...cute and angry.

Shu Fu raised his hand at the side: "Sister, I want to go too."

"Just think about it."

Shu Fu pouted: "I haven't been to the capital yet."

Shu Le: "From now on, you can go with your 'friend'."

Shu Le winked at Shu Fu quietly, biting the word "friend" very hard, because Shu Le didn't know that his son already had a girlfriend tomorrow.

Shu shook the newspaper tomorrow, glanced at his siblings, and said, "Don't think I don't know."

"..." Shu Le's expression froze.

"Xiao Fu, you go back to the bedroom first." Shu Ming ordered to avoid Shu Fu and talk to Shu Le alone.

"Dad, why don't I go out and play?"

Shu Ming disagreed: "You stay in the bedroom, it will be you in a while."

"Oh."

Shu Fu entered the bedroom, and before entering, he gave Shu Le a "come on" gesture at the door.

Shu Le touched his nose and nodded to him.

But it was inevitable that Shu Le suddenly became nervous, and her intuition told her that her father already knew something.

Shu Ming put the newspaper aside, crossed his fingers, turned his head to look at Shu Le, and sighed: "Just like your mother."

Shu Le didn't respond, but pursed her lips, waiting for the next sentence.No more intuition, the answer is obvious.

"Why don't you speak?"

Shu Le looked at him and replied, "I don't know what to say."

Shu Ming snorted softly. Although he was middle-aged, he didn't gain weight. He looked like he could be classified as a "handsome uncle".

Shu Fu's mother has passed away for so many years, and Shu Le will not find a new partner tomorrow, but Shu Le will not ask again. He used to think that his father and aunt look very affectionate, so if he asks again, Shu Le is afraid that he will reveal his father's secret. scar.

"I should have thought of it earlier." Shu Ming said, "I have never talked about our relationship with us. I should have thought of it long ago that you don't like men either."

Shu Le: "Yeah."

"So I resisted going on a blind date with a man. I should have known it at this time, but I still didn't believe it, and I still insisted on it." Shu Ming coughed while talking, and Shu Le unscrewed his water glass and handed it to him.

Shu took the water glass tomorrow, Shu Le said at this time: "Dad, I didn't expect you to be so persistent."

Shu Ming glared at her: "Is it wrong for me to insist?"

Shu Le raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm right anyway."

"Forget it, I don't care about you anymore."

"Ok."

Shu Le smiled, his eyes curled up.

The feeling of letting go of a stone in my heart, the "coming out" that I was so worried about, but it went so smoothly, Shu Le is a little unbelievable now.

It's more about happiness and joy, which already means that a very important hurdle on her side has been crossed.

"dad."

Father Shu said "um" in a nasal voice.

Shu Le licked her lips and asked, "Do you know where Aunt Xiao Le is now?"

"Prefer not to say."

"Say it."

"..." Shu brought the newspaper over tomorrow. He was reading an entertainment newspaper. Then he flipped through it, pointed to the character in the middle of one of the pages, showed it to Shu Le, and said, "Her."

Shu Le read the newspaper and was dumbfounded.

The author has something to say: Unexpected!
