What Comes Around Goes Around

Jiang Ke's ears were almost calloused.

Since entering the house on the night of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, to today's New Year's Eve, a total of two days, Qin Hong has been nagging about the repayment of the new house for at least a day and a half.The whole family from top to bottom, regardless of whether they are panting or not, and whether they support or not, as long as they stay within her sight for more than half a minute, they all become her "audience".

Jiang Ke has been nestling on the sofa playing with his mobile phone since the New Year's Eve dinner, and glanced at the Spring Festival Gala every now and then. Finally, there was a sketch that made him stop his sight for two seconds, and Qin Hong's voice began to join in the fun again. drill.It's really fatal, what happened to Yu Yin for three days!

"Mom, can we rest for a while—it's Chinese New Year's Eve."

"Look at you, this is me..." Qin Hong said halfway, seeing that his son's two eyebrows seemed to be gradually coming together, he finally stopped his mouth knowingly, but the habitual "ah" was still forgotten. Sealed into the jaw.

This was the last bit of patience that Jiang Ke had left, and he said in an irritable tone, "Can you stop thinking about those useless things all day long, I don't intend to gnaw on the old."

It's a pity that this kind of persuasion has never worked for Qin Hong.She was still sitting at the table picking strawberries, her eyes darted around the roof floor, and she kept talking about herself: "You said it would be nice to have a family and live in the future, I'm already this age, where do I live?" Not living."

"Where do you want to live?" Jiang Ke asked lightly, but Qin Hong stopped.

Just a year ago, the old house where Jiang's family lived for more than 20 years caught up with demolition.Because of the issue of compensation and ownership, a family conflict broke out unsurprisingly, and in the end the four families returned to each other.At that time, Jiang Ke had graduated less than three years ago, and his savings was almost zero, so he borrowed from various places to solve his family's urgent needs.As the Spring Festival approached, Qin Hong moved into a new home, but couldn't live comfortably.

She was worried in her heart, and she heard Jiang Ke say: "Your son is not very capable, but giving his mother a place to live is not so hard that he has to beg for food." Immediately, she blamed herself even more.

"It's not easy to mix in a big city...the two of you are useless, but you can stay at home and enjoy the blessings."

"Okay, it's coming again." Jiang Ke was helpless, got up and went to the kitchen to pour water to hide.

At this time, Jiang Congjun's voice came from the back room: "Qin Hong, do you see where I put my mirror?"

"I saw you wearing it this afternoon, so where must you leave it?" Qin Hong answered, wiped her hands and followed into the back room, "Isn't it on the cabinet, memory!"

"Eh? Why didn't I see it after turning around twice."

"I forget where I put it, and forget everything."

Jiang Congjun is Jiang Ke's stepfather.Like most reorganized families in the world, the relationship between Jiang Ke and him is neither good nor bad.He changed his last name, but never called him dad.

When Qin Hong married into the Jiang family, Jiang Ke was five and a half years old.Because of a miscarriage, the couple could no longer have children.The mother-in-law sees the sky and persuades her son to divorce and remarry.Jiang Congjun has never disobeyed his mother in his life, but he was extremely stubborn about this matter, and would never "abandon his wife and son" no matter what.It's okay to be a mother, the more honest a person is, the more stubborn he will be.In the end, Jiang Ke had to be wronged.Because of the surname change, the seven-year-old Jiang Ke had a one-sided cold war with Qin Hong for more than a month. Later, thanks to the Transformer that he had been thinking about for half a year, he called his mother again.

Jiang Ke actually didn't want to think about these things, and he suppressed them as soon as his thoughts came up.He swiped his phone as if avoiding it, and a button message popped up: Can we meet when you come back?

Jiang Ke was a little surprised that the news was sent from "one meter away".

They met in a resource group half a year ago, and Jiang Ke was one of the administrators.The verification message sent by the other party on the day he joined the group was exactly what he had wanted for many years, so he paid attention to this vest at that time.Later, when he asked the other party why he chose this name, the other party replied very honestly that he was short-sighted and had severe astigmatism, and the world one meter away from the glasses was basically blurred.

Jiang Ke's heart moved after hearing this, and he bluntly said that he is a glasses addict, and he has no resistance to the handsome guy of the "gentle scum", and asked him with a smile if he is handsome. "One meter away" was quite helpless when he asked him.But after that, the two became acquainted, chatted more and more topics, and gradually developed a good impression of each other, but no one specifically mentioned this, and they chose to let nature take its course.

- What if I say no?Jiang Ke teased him.

He didn't know why he was teasing him.Maybe it's because only relying on text communication can allow him to have more room for imagination-heartbeat but not worrying.This kind of feeling is just right, if the meeting is not eye-catching, I am afraid that I will not even have the interest to continue to be a netizen.

- are you kidding meThe other party really replied.

Jiang Ke held back his bad intentions and continued to whet his appetite: What do you think?

This time it took a while for the other party to reply: If you are teasing me, I am quite happy; if you are serious, then I will wait.

Jiang Ke was taken aback after reading it.Although they had chatted online for half a year, the other party had always left him with the impression of a serious and well-behaved office worker, but such a serious answer still made his heart tense for no reason.

- You are too serious. You still use semicolons. How about you write a composition?

The other party didn't answer the question, but still asked eagerly: Have you not answered yet?

Jiang Ke was hesitating, when a greeting came from the kitchen: "Come, take this away."

He put down his mobile phone and wandered over, took a large plate of washed strawberries from Qin Hong, and when he turned around, he saw another small bowl in the corner of the cabinet with sharp eyes.Without thinking about it, he understood what was going on. He couldn't help but frowned, and said helplessly, "Mom, I've told you so many times. Why are you doing this again? Those are not new anymore."

"Oh, it's okay, I'll eat, I won't let you..."

"You can't even eat it," Jiang Ke's brows that had just loosened a little bit tightened again at these words, and he interrupted her involuntarily, "It's not that you can't afford it, so what are you doing?"

"I thought it was a pity to throw it away, but it's not bad..." Qin Hong grinned at his son as he spoke.

This smile blocked Jiang Ke's heart for a moment - it was the smile he had seen since he was a child, and it was the smile his mother gave to every in-laws in this reorganized family.I don't know when, Jiang Ke was gradually squeezed into the laughing audience.

In the past, Jiang Ke only saw that this smile was full of guilt and flattery, but now, he found that this smile was unknowingly mixed with a guilty conscience of being flattered.

"I don't understand, why do you like to use yourself as a trash can so much!" As soon as the words came out, he immediately regretted it.He realized that he was too outspoken, and froze on the spot in embarrassment and guilt.

Qin Hong didn't know whether she was frightened or shocked, and she also remained silent for a long time.Jiang Ke looked up at his mother's face, but couldn't think of anything to say to ease the atmosphere.On the contrary, Jiang Congjun heard the news and came over to persuade his wife: "Look at you, the child can only come back for a few days during the Chinese New Year every year. If you have something to say, talk about it."

Jiang Ke glanced at him, and knew in his heart that the phrase "speak up if you have something to say" was actually directed at him.But he couldn't refute anything, he was indeed impulsive.

"I'll go to the party later, your mother and I will clean up here." Seeing him standing still by the stove, Jiang Congjun reminded him again.

"……Let me do it."

"Okay, go and have a rest."

Jiang Ke didn't go to the party after all, and went back to his room.Sitting by the bed in a daze for 2 minutes, he suddenly picked up his phone and replied: How about the sixth day?

"One meter away" responded immediately, and asked again: Can you tell me your name?

-I'll know when we meet.Jiang Ke still wants to keep some mystery.

Seeing what he said, the other party didn't ask any more questions.The two just chatted a few more words and said good night to each other.

After New Year's Eve, the taste of the year is getting weaker day by day.When Jiang Ke returned on the fifth day of the new year, he couldn't remember how he spent this year.The only thing that interested him a little during the Spring Festival was that he was going to meet "One Meter Away".

On the afternoon of the sixth day, Jiang Ke arrived at the appointed place first.He chose a seat by the window and sat down. Before he swiped his phone for 2 minutes, a figure peeked out of his corner of the eye, and at the same time, a very pleasant smell of men's perfume entered his nostrils.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." The figure first said politely, then took off his coat and sat down.

Jiang Ke looked up at the sound, almost startled, and asked with surprise and uncertainty, "One meter away?"

The other party's eyes drifted to Jiang Ke's face through the lens and then looked back, then nodded with a light smile.

"I noticed you as soon as you came from outside. I didn't expect it to be you."

"Really?" The other party smiled again, and said with half-drooped eyelids, "You're pretty much what I thought."

"You are much more handsome than I thought." Jiang Ke stared at him, then uttered another truth, and felt embarrassed after finishing speaking.

The two of them remained silent for a while, and somehow the atmosphere became strangely shy.It was Jiang Ke who came back to his senses first, and pushed the drink list towards the other party, "What do you like to drink? Choose me and order."

"Let me see." After the other party answered, he turned his head and looked at the drink list with a serious expression, without moving his gaze from Jiang Ke's face for a moment.

Jiang Ke observed him for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "I look so scary? You dare not look at me."

"……No no……"

When Jiang Ke said this, the other party seemed to be even more uncomfortable, and his eyes dodged a few times before climbing up to his face, and then stopped suddenly after a few seconds, as if to recognize something.

"I said you are really...either you don't look at it, or you stare at it?" Jiang Ke was inexplicably stared at by him, and leaned back in his chair speechlessly.

The other party didn't answer, frowned and remained silent for a while, and finally squeezed out two words: "Jiang...Ke..."

When Jiang Ke heard it, his expression immediately changed, and he was surprised: "How do you know my name?" After speaking, he looked at the person opposite again, trying to find a name that could correspond to this face from his memory, but it was a pity that he recalled it Half a day is still at a loss.

Seeing that he was really confused, the other party raised his hand and rolled up his right sleeve, revealing a deep scar on his forearm, and reminded him, "Do you remember this?"

Just as Jiang Ke glanced at the scar, the long-lost memory jumped out by itself.When he looked back at the other person's face, the other person had already taken off his glasses and asked him, "Did you recognize it?"

"... Zong Kai?" Jiang Ke's eyes were full of shock.The handsome guy in front of him who could attract the attention of [-]% of girls when he walks on the street, could not remind him of his tablemate in the second grade of junior high school—a bean sprouts that he allowed himself to be teased, but didn't even dare to resist.

Jiang Ke gasped inwardly, and was speechless in a daze.It took him a long time to say: "Isn't it..."

Just as the belated apology started, Zong Kai stood up abruptly, not knowing whether it was because he was too shocked or embarrassed that he couldn't stay for a second, and his movements seemed a little hasty.

Jiang Ke subconsciously hid back and didn't dare to make a sound again. When he completely recovered, the person sitting opposite him was gone.
