five years later

Dad An didn't embarrass Liu Youxia, and sat down to eat noodles as he said, but there was no expression on his face.

Liu Youxia at the side served noodles and poured another glass of water.The smile is kind, almost obsequious.He and An Yuan sat on one side, and opposite was the silent Father An, who was as clear as the Chu River Han border on a chessboard.

The three bowls of vegetable and egg noodles were still steaming.The ingredients at home are limited, and there are only a few vegetables on the white soup, which looks very pitiful.But after eating it, Dad An was still a little surprised, the cooking level of the noodles had far exceeded his estimate of the seasonings at home.

So he took advantage of the gap between eating noodles and glanced at Liu Youxia who was diagonally opposite.

The young man was good-looking, with peaked eyebrows and long eyes, and a face that could even be described as delicate, but not at all feminine.For a painter, this is the best model and muse of inspiration.

An Yuan Xiao's mother, especially a pair of eyes.When I look at you, the mist is misty, hazy like a dream.But the overall look is very dull, as plain as a glass of boiled water.

The father and son are just the opposite.

After eating noodles, An Yuan packed up the dishes and went into the kitchen, while Liu Youxia obediently washed the dishes.The two of them did not speak in a tacit understanding, but their movements cooperated seamlessly, making people feel infinite tenderness in this little space.

When they came out after washing the dishes, Dad An didn't know where he went.An Yuan didn't say anything, armed himself and Liu Youxia, and they cleaned the bedroom together.

No one lived there for a year, and the room was covered with a thick layer of dust.An Yuan, who was a bit of a clean freak, couldn't help but remove all the curtains, bed covers and other items. He held his breath, and every time he wiped a corner, he became more and more dissatisfied with his father.

"Xiaoyuan, let's go out and do some shopping after cleaning up. I looked at the house and it seems that there is nothing to prepare for the New Year." Liu Youxia did the housework in a decent manner, and followed An Yuan to clean the desk.

"Huh?" The other party seemed to be out of state, and turned around with a confused face.

"Let me say," Liu Youxia patted An Yuan's forehead with his dirty hand, "What do you want to eat tonight, can we go out and buy together later?"

Only then did An Yuan come back to his senses, nodding his head and giving a slight "hmm" twice.

"Hey," Liu Youxia sighed, then touched his forehead and murmured, "No matter what happens, I will always be by your side."

An Yuan's eyes were reddened by his words, tears were hanging on his eyelashes, as if they would fall in the next moment.

"I don't know, I don't know." He said in a trembling voice, looking pitifully like an abandoned animal. "I'm actually starting to regret coming back. I insisted on bringing you here even though I knew the matter hadn't been resolved. I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

An Yuan apologized repeatedly, and then fell into a warm embrace.

"Don't say I'm sorry, I'm not sorry." Liu Youxia patted him on the back lightly, coaxed him in a slow voice, feeling sad for a while.

An Yuan was troubled by this matter for a long time, and it was only at this moment that he was able to take a short breath.He sobbed softly, and his heart finally fell to the ground.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two went out.

The city has changed a lot, even a local in Anyuan is a bit confused.Fortunately, the security guy in the community was quite enthusiastic and kindly showed them the way.

The supermarket is not far away. According to the instructions of the little brother, turn left for 100 meters and then turn right for about 500 meters.Of course, if they can catch up early, the large vegetable wholesale market can also point them out.

An Yuan thanked the little brother, and the other party waved his hand generously, signaling that such a trivial matter should not be taken to heart.Seeing this, Liu Youxia hurriedly took a step forward and smiled at the younger brother, then pulled him away.

He was either in a panic because of jealousy, or because he was afraid that he would not be able to make time for dinner and would be hungry.

The two were generous along the way, holding hands, not caring about other people's eyes at all.

For Liu Youxia, this is a strange city, and it doesn't matter if he is seen by others.What's more, he didn't care at all, and he was even delighted with An Yuan's move.

It's just that Anyuan has his own interpersonal relationship in this place, if he is seen, those who point and gossip behind his back may drown them with his own spittle.

He was a little worried, but only a little worried.

Their relationship is not invisible.Being able to walk with the one you love under the eyes of being scrutinized, even if it is torture, is also willing.

"Do you know why I did this?" An Yuan, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke.

Liu Youxia naturally didn't understand, so she shook her head honestly.

"After you left, I told him that I like men." An Yuan's tone was a little tired, but he continued. "He doesn't agree. Of course I know he will disagree, but it's not all because of you."

"My mother has been in poor health, but she still insisted on giving birth to me. As a result, she left in less than three years. When he told me these things, he always looked like that. After seeing it for more than ten years, I In fact, it's a bit annoying.

I am very similar to my mother, so he likes me very much.No matter what wrong things he did, he will not be angry, just keep silent, always silent, as if I would feel guilty. "

Having said this, An Yuan's tone suddenly became agitated.He has been brooding over this matter for more than ten years, and now that he has exhausted it, he has really dumped out the garbage that has been buried for many years.

"I originally wanted to study art in the college entrance examination. He didn't allow it, but I must study, so I finally compromised with me. But once he agreed, I didn't want to study anymore.

At that time, I felt that I was living in his shadow every day, and I couldn't breathe every day.I really want to ask him, do you think of me as your son?If so, can you focus more on me instead of missing my mother who died young through this face. "

Knowing that An Yuan was about to cry again, Liu Youxia stopped in his tracks and hugged him very simply.Anyway, there are already many people watching them on the road, and I am not afraid of more.

"Then you forgive me because of this?" He finally asked the question that had been buried in his heart for a long time.

An Yuan thought of his parents, tears flowed even more fiercely.Many years ago, Liu Youxia cried bitterly in his arms like this. The two of them had the same confusion, and the ending was always the same.

There are always many people in the supermarket for two days at the end of the year.An Yuan picked up a box of shrimp from the freezer, and discussed with Chef Liu with red eyes.

"Is it good to have this tonight?"

He looked so pitiful, Liu Youxia could only put things in the basket when he saw this.It's not that you can't eat it, it's just that seafood is cold in nature, and it's not warm to eat in winter.

After buying shrimp, thinking about the atmosphere at home, Liu Youxia bought a handful of garlic, a few strips of dried chili, and a few pieces of ginger, planning to fry the shrimp and eat them.

The two bought a shopping cart full of things, which were not considered New Year's goods, but just things they needed to use tonight.

It was almost six o'clock when I got home.

Liu Youxia was busy carrying the dishes to the kitchen, while An Yuan packed up the toiletries, tidied up the suitcases of the two of them, took out the clothes and hung them in the cabinet.

When I left at the beginning of the year, I put away the quilt, which is a good thing. Although it has not been exposed to the sun, it is always clean, but for An Yuan, it is better than nothing.

After finishing these tasks, he ran to the kitchen to help Liu Youxia.The other party has already washed and cut up the vegetables, just waiting to be put into the pot.

Three dishes and one soup is their dinner today.Except for a fish soup stewed in a casserole, which looked refreshing, the other three dishes were all typical Hunan cuisine. Just looking at the ingredients, it made people's tongue tremble and salivate uncontrollably.

An Yuan was speechless again and again, secretly guessing whether Liu Youxia had broken the jar.

"How can there be so many dishes, how can only three people finish them?" An Yuan leaned over and stood beside Chef Liu.

The chef was feeling the temperature of the oil with a very serious expression on his face, but it didn't bother him to focus on two tasks.

"Not much, the portion is not much, the three of us can finish our meal." Liu Youxia took advantage of the last few seconds to push him out of the kitchen. "There will be a lot of oily smoke from cooking in the wok later, you go out and wait."

An Yuan was a little funny, so he had to go to the living room, and after sitting for a while, he knocked on the door of An's father's bedroom.No one answered inside, he thought he was asleep, so he opened the door and went in.

An Yuan saw those things and thought that he really shouldn't have come back.

The densely packed paintings in the room are all portraits of his mother.Sketch, oil painting, or ink painting, each has its own merits and charm, but none of them is complete, and they all lack a pair of eyes.

An Yuan walked in, feeling sick in his heart.He looked at those paintings as if he was looking at an enemy.

"I didn't answer, why did you come in?" The painting in front of Dad An was still only missing the last pair of eyes.He completed this "semi-residual work" in one afternoon.

"I can't come in?" An Yuan asked coldly, walking up to him and standing beside him.

Pa An put down his pen, took off the drawing paper and said, "Your mother is fine."

An Yuan was enraged by his words.He snatched the drawing paper and tore it to pieces without looking at it. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "No matter how good I am, I am not her, and she will not come back to life. I came back this time to tell you that Liu Youxia and I are together Now, whether you agree or not, we are all going to be together."

As soon as the words fell, there was a "thump" in his heart.Unexpectedly, Dad An didn't say much about it. He just took the torn drawing paper from An Yuan and asked him if he was going to finish his meal.

An Yuan was like a defeated bull, he nodded and went out.

At this time, the blood relationship between them looks more like a catastrophe, and neither party trapped in it will end well.

Liu Youxia in the kitchen was unaware of what had just happened. He looked at the dishes in the pot, and although he was choked up by the peppers, his heart was peaceful, as if everything was going to break through the clouds and the sun would rise.
