please stop being jealous

Almost the moment she finished speaking, my brain extracted important information-my mother knew it.

There was nothing inexplicable in what she said.

Because when I came back from Xu Luoye's house on National Day, I told my mother that I was "the younger sister of a friend who went abroad" to Xu Luoye.

And now she's calling me, and she's pointing out my lies.

My lips trembled, and my breathing was a little messy, but I still tried to be calm and said: "Mom, tell me that you are confused, and you don't understand what it means."

"Do you have to tell me clearly before you are willing to be honest?"

That's what I've said, so I don't need to pretend anymore.

I lowered my head and squeezed the phone a little tighter. After a few seconds, I said to my mother, "I don't need it."

I have no friends who have gone abroad, no friends with the surname Xu, and no so-called younger sisters.

The window was closed, and the happy picture of Fang Yuan and the others chatting behind them was reflected on it.

I stared at this scene, a little dazed.

What should come will always come.

"Aftermath! You..." My mother's tone became serious, and she said "you" for a long time, but she didn't continue.

I stood there for a while before I realized she had hung up the phone.

Actually, I don't understand. Judging from her previous attitude, she must have guessed my relationship with Xu Luoye, so why is she angry now?

Did you just discover my relationship with Xu Luoye now?I don't understand.

But some headaches.

I opened the window a little, and the winter night was cold and windy, and the place where I greeted them on my face seemed to have been beaten.

It hurt so much that I closed the thin stitch again.

Song Chicheng called me from behind: "Sister! Come quickly! Your favorite kelp is cooked!"

"Here we come." I exhaled, tried to raise a smile, walked back to my seat and sat down.

Xu Luo also picked up food for me and put it in a bowl: "Auntie, what's the matter on the phone?"

"No."

"She just asked me about my work."

Having said that, I looked at Fangyuan and the others, and smiled: "On the 23rd, my two-year contract with the company expires, and I will not renew it."

Hou Jin was a little surprised: "Are you going to concentrate on running the dessert shop in the future?"

"Ah."

"you can say it this way."

Fang Yuan raised his glass and touched it with me: "Then I wish the sisters a wealth of wealth."

"You too."

Song Chicheng also took advantage of the opportunity to clink glasses with me: "Sister, if you still need me on the day your new store opens, just come to me." He smiled and said, "I'll help you solicit customers."

"That's what you said."

By the time it was time to leave Hou Jin, it was already 11:30.

It was late to get off work.It is not surprising that the meal ended at this point while eating and chatting.

Before leaving, Hou Jin also gave us Xiaoshi tablets, because everyone ate a lot.

I'm overwhelmed.

On the way back, there were no pedestrians on the street, and there were street lights on the ground.

I touched my face and pushed down the window a little.

Xu Luo was also driving. She saw my actions and said, "Won't it be cold?"

"Take a breath." I replied, and then I closed my eyes.

When I got back to the apartment, I found an excuse of being "tired", took a shower and went to bed and lay down.

I was really tired, so I fell asleep not long after I touched the pillow.

I didn’t sleep very well this time, and I had a dream in which my mother added the words after “you”——“You let us down so much”.

In my dream, because of the matter with Xu Luoye, my parents and I had a big fight, and in the end I slammed the door and walked out.

Maybe it was because the dream was so real that I woke up when I opened my eyes.

It was still dark outside the window, and everything in sight was darkness.

I gasped for breath, trying to dispel some of the fear in my heart.

My forehead was cold, and there was a layer of cold sweat on it. I turned on the lowest lamp as usual, and pulled a tissue from the side of the cabinet.

The brightness of the desk lamp was very low, and I sat on the edge of the bed, wiping my sweat gently.

When it was almost time, I covered the quilt again. Before turning off the light, I took a close look at Xu Luoye's sleeping face, then leaned over and kissed her forehead.

I don't know how long it took before I fell asleep again.

Xu Luo also went to school, let me remember to drink porridge, I ate spicy one last night, today I will eat something light.

She's already cut and mixed the kimchi, I just have to take it out of the fridge.

Her caring attitude has not changed from the beginning to the present.

It's just that since my mother saw the post-it note she wrote that day, she never wrote it again, worrying that such a situation will happen in the future.

I said "nothing to worry about" at the time, because in fact, it was a matter of time to confess to my parents.

I used to be able to hide it for as long as possible, and kept saying that I didn't want to get married, which was fine.

But I have been with Xu Luo for a long time, and I also want my parents to know how good she is and how much I like her.

But I didn't expect this "sooner or later" to come so early.

The meaning behind what my mother said last night is already known without thinking about it.

She must have known about Xu Luoye's family situation, so she would ask me like that.

After eating the porridge cooked by Xu Luoye and washing the dishes, I leaned on the sofa and looked at my phone, which showed the chat interface between me and Xiao Mu.

Today is December NO.12, and there are many discounts from merchants, and "Throbbing" is naturally among them.

My idea of ​​making money is actually very simple, just do more activities to attract customers.

Xiao Mu was telling me about the situation in the store today, and finally said that the opening of the new store is really necessary.

Because the scene was a bit hot, everyone was very busy.

I paid the employees three times the wages of today. Everyone comes to work to make money. If you are so tired, it is worth triple the wages.

Because of good luck, "Throbbing" has been running smoothly until now, especially when some merchants approached us for cooperation.

For example, those who sell flour and eggs, these are the ingredients needed to make desserts, high-quality merchants came to the door by themselves, Xiao Mu and the others checked, and we reached a long-term cooperation with them.

Everything is on track, everything looks good.

I replied: [Thanks for your hard work. 】

Xiao Mu: [No hard work, I am very happy to see that the store is so good now. 】

I'm also very happy, because since the opening, the turnover is really quite a lot, which makes me very satisfied.

Xiao Mu asked me again: [Sister Yu, the manager of the new store, do you have any ideas? 】

She said bluntly: [I think sister Xiao Xu is very suitable. 】

Xu Luo is also really suitable. She has many ideas and strong abilities. If she is the manager of the newly opened "Throbbing", she will definitely get good results soon.

But I haven't asked Xu Luoye's opinion yet. After all, she is very busy recently and hasn't graduated yet.

In particular, she still has graduate students to study, and she will be even busier after graduate school.

Considering all the above, I didn't ask, and I don't know how to ask in the future.

too difficult.

I went back to Xiao Mu: [Let's talk about it later, I'm going to work in the company. 】

Xiao Mu: [Okay. 】

When it was almost two o'clock, I sat down in the company's office.

Kong You came earlier than me and was writing the lesson plan. I also picked up the pen and started to write the syllabus.

Although after resignation, there will definitely be a short period of work handover time, but after the 23rd, I have nothing to do with the company, which is also true.

I kept my phone aside, afraid that any new news would disturb my work.

After writing the outline for a while, the time was almost up. I picked up the textbook and went in to prepare to go to the classroom. At this moment, the mobile phone in my pocket vibrated.

Before entering the classroom, I glanced at the incoming call.

It's my dad calling.

I pursed my lower lip and stopped in my tracks: "Dad."

"Are you making your mother angry again?"

"What's the reason this time?"

"Give me the face I've been putting on all day."

"I don't know either." My dad is a fool.

"Oh, Xiao Yu, please apologize to your mother and say something nice."

"Otherwise, it's me who suffers."

"Father treats you well, why do you treat me like this?"

"..."

"Dad, tell me later, I'm going to class."

"Hey!"

"I'm so hard!"

Indeed, every time I have a conflict with my mother, he has to smooth things over.

But now I can't protect myself, how can I still care about him?

What do you think.

Go to class, get out of class.

Before leaving get off work, I almost slumped in a chair.

Because the end of the year is approaching, there are many teaching tasks assigned by the above, and there is no time to fish.

And I didn't get off work on time tonight, I didn't come out of the company until 09:30.

But because of the phone call from my mother last night, I don't dare to see Xu Luoye anymore.

I am a little afraid of her eyes, afraid that she will see through my emotions and my heart at a glance. I don't want to worry her at this juncture.

Obviously, she was so happy recently because of supporting poor children.

I don't want to spoil her interest.

Today's Liucheng started snowing again at about six or seven o'clock, and it is still continuing.

I drove the car and came out of the company's parking lot.

I wanted to go straight back to the apartment, but my dad called me again.

This time it's not a call for help, but a notification.

He said, "Xiao Yu, are you off work? Let's go home now."

His tone was serious, not at all the same as in the afternoon.

"Dad, I have to go to work tomorrow." I used this excuse, "It's still so late."

"Your mother said, you come back tonight, and you have something to talk about."
