cold flame

Lin Mo practiced the piano in the afternoon, and began to try to touch the keys with his right hand, and the sense of familiarity gradually returned to his fingertips, which made him feel good. He was lying on the sofa and read a few pages before he received a call from Lin's mother.

"Momo, are you practicing the piano?"

"Just finished training. Mom, how are you doing recently? How is Dad?" Lin Mo realized that he hadn't seen his parents for a while, and blurted out his concerned words.

"We're fine. Don't worry about your parents. Worry about yourself. How are you going to solve your dinner if Wenxuan doesn't come back tonight? Don't order unhealthy takeaways."

"He didn't tell me he couldn't answer, why did he ask like that?"

Mother Lin asked suspiciously: "Hey, didn't he tell you that he won't go home for dinner at night? Maybe he will tell you later."

"Mom, did he tell you anything?"

"Uh... It wasn't him who told me, it was Wenxuan's mother who told me. Mom told you that you must never have any objections to your brother-in-law." Lin's mother seemed to be thinking about what to say, but her voice was in vain. slow.

"It's like this. I think your brother-in-law has really done his best for our family in the past few years and has helped a lot around him. Your father and I have treated him like a half son. You see, he is still so young. , can’t let him serve us forever, can’t we? We can’t bear it either. He’s so busy with work, he needs a good girl to accompany him and start a new family. Anyway, Wenxuan and your sister have no children. Finding one is not difficult at all, so I told Wenxuan's mother about this idea, and the two discussed it, and it happened that a friend's daughter was very suitable, so Wenxuan's mother arranged for them to meet for dinner tonight."

Lin Mo's hand holding the phone became heavy as if it had been filled with lead.

"Momo, are you listening? I know you are unhappy, and you love my sister, right? Oh, don't think so, Wenxuan is good enough for our family, how can a son-in-law be like him, it's a pity Xiao Ran Fu Bo... We can't just think about ourselves. Your brother-in-law can't always be alone, and the Gao family also wants to spread out and embrace grandchildren. In short, we brought up this matter first. Don't blame your brother-in-law for changing his mind about your sister, you know?"

I don't know why, Lin Mo felt harsh and heavy when he heard this sentence, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart.

He struggled to squeeze out a few words: "I see."

"Then I don't worry, you don't know about this, and he will talk about it when Wenxuan is almost there, so that we don't put pressure on him."

"Ah."

"By the way, remember to cook your own dinner at night, don't eat outside things, just cook something simple."

"I will."

"Okay, let's put it this way first, Mom is busy."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Mo sat blankly on the sofa, the sky outside was already dark, and the night had arrived earlier, pressing on his chest which was hard to calm down.

"Why isn't the light on?" Gao Wenxuan came back and saw only a small light next to the sofa. He thought Lin Mo was sleeping, but when he looked closer, he found that he was sitting on the sofa alone playing mobile games, so he turned on the light in the living room.

Lin Mo said without raising his head, "I was just sleeping."

Gao Wenxuan took off his coat and walked over, stood behind the sofa and stretched out his hands to gently pinch Lin Mo's neck, "I'm almost done eating, I bought pizza."

After finishing the game silently and exiting the game, Lin Mo stood up and walked to the dining table after checking the time. The aroma of pizza was overflowing, and a piece was still hot when he picked it up. Gao Wenxuan squeezed two glasses of orange juice over.

"Are you hungry? Eat quickly." After speaking, he took a piece himself, "Is the piano practice going well this afternoon? How is your right hand?"

"It's okay." Lin Mo concentrated on biting the meat pizza mixed with double cheese.

"You seem to be in a bad mood, what's wrong?"

"No, maybe a little tired."

"Then I won't go for a walk with the dog today. Let's watch some relaxing variety shows later." Gao Wenxuan saw that Lin Mo was eating pizza with great interest, although his face was expressionless. pizza."

Hearing this, Lin Mo noticed that the packing box was the one near his company. He would occasionally buy it to eat at home before, and Gao Wenxuan saw it several times.

"How did you buy it here?"

Gao Wenxuan said with a smile: "Didn't you say that the pizza you ordered before was not delicious? I bought what you like today."

Lin Mo looked at him seriously, and subconsciously said, "Thank you."

"How can you thank me? Besides, I haven't eaten dinner myself, so I just want to try this."

"Tonight you are not—"

Gao Wenxuan put down the half-eaten pizza, looked at Lin Mo who had only half-spoken, understood in his heart, and said, "It turns out that you are unhappy because of this."

Lin Mo remained silent, Gao Wenxuan continued: "Didn't Mom tell you?"

"She said that you are going to have dinner with your blind date tonight." Lin Mo relayed the source of the news, but did not say whether he believed it or not.

"That's right, but I didn't know about it in advance. My mother invited me to a restaurant for dinner with other reasons. I didn't know her purpose until I arrived, and I left."

Gao Wenxuan's explanation was reasonable and his tone was quite relaxed, which actually made Lin Mo a little embarrassed.

"So you go and buy pizza from this store."

"The pizza in this store is specially bought for you, and you are responsible for finishing it today."

Lin Mo pretended not to care, continued to take a bite of the pizza, and said, "Didn't Auntie say anything?"

"What can she say?" Gao Wenxuan patted his head, with a playful look in his eyes, "So are you jealous?"

Lin Mo is not the kind of person who loves to get into the horns and tangles repeatedly. Now that he has decided to be with Gao Wenxuan, Lin's mother's words in the afternoon certainly aroused some emotions, but they have been relieved after an afternoon.There is still a little depression left, which is naturally the uneasiness between the initial lovers.

Then he said truthfully: "A little bit."

In fact, Gao Wenxuan found that he was in a bad mood today when he came back, and he more or less guessed the reason, and the other party was just waiting for the moment to be tested, but Lin Mo unexpectedly admitted it generously, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and ignorant Joy without warning.

"It won't happen in the future."

Lin Mo gave Gao Wenxuan a disgusted look, frowned and said, "Don't talk to me in such a coaxing tone."

"I'm talking to you in a coaxing tone."

Lin Mo rolled his eyes and said, "I'm full."

Gao Wenxuan got up to clear the dining table, and Lin Mo also offered his rare help.

When he lowered his head to take the cup, he happened to see a flickering crystal light flashing from the air, making Lin Mo's eyes fall on Gao Wenxuan's hand involuntarily.

It was a thick and strong hand with well-defined knuckles. No one who looked at it would ignore the silver ring on the ring finger.Gao Wenxuan noticed his gaze, stopped his movements, and stretched out his palm.

Asked: "Momo, do you mind this?"

Lin Mo shook his head, his eyes were soft, and he said, "I don't want you to take it off either, this is to commemorate my sister."

"I won't take it." Gao Wenxuan hugged Lin Mo and said in a low voice: "It will always remind me that there is a relative who is extremely important to you and me, as long as we don't forget it, it will be another kind of continuation. "

Lin Mo responded softly. He suddenly found that he didn't feel the uneasiness just now when he faced the same level of feelings for his sister and his lover. This discovery made him feel relieved.

After clearing the dining table, the two played with Xiaobai for a while, then took a shower and watched TV on the sofa. Gao Wenxuan's phone happened to ring during the middle of the commercial.

It's Gao Mu.

"You left without saying a word today, do you know that it makes me feel very shameless?" Just after pressing the call button, a direct question came over, despite the displeasure, Gao's mother still controlled her tone on the phone .

Gao Wenxuan took away the phone and said softly to Lin Mo, "I'm going to answer the call."

He walked to the balcony before he said, "I didn't expect you to call specifically to talk about this. I didn't leave without saying a word. At least I settled the bill for you before I left."

"I can understand that you didn't agree to find a girlfriend before, but now your mother-in-law has offered to propose it. I don't know what you are stubborn about. Is it because I arranged for you? I don't understand the painstaking efforts of my parents."

"Your painstaking efforts are to find me a business fellowship, or a well-matched wife who will serve as your face?"

Mother Gao said coldly, "It doesn't sound like anything bad."

Gao Wenxuan's laughter was full of mockery: "Of course you won't admit that there is something wrong with you and your dad. Anyway, we each take what we need and play our own way. After so many years, you are still so stubborn."

"It's not your turn to lecture me yet."

"I just want to say that your set can be saved, and I will not give in."

Mother Gao seemed to take a deep breath at the other end, she said slowly: "Yes, I will wait for the day when you change your mind. By the way, I heard your voice talking to someone else just now, is there anyone else in the family? "

"Yes." Gao Wenxuan replied, involuntarily turning sideways to look at the brightly lit living room, where Lin Mo was sitting cross-legged on the sofa holding snacks to tease Xiaobai.

Mother Gao tried to ask: "Is this the reason why you don't accept other people?"

"Yes."

"Hopefully it doesn't disappoint me."

Hearing this sentence, Gao Wenxuan laughed contemptuously, "If there is nothing else, I will hang up."

"Wait." Gao's mother said in a tone that was obviously different from before: "A few days ago your birthday...Happy birthday."

Gao Wenxuan was a little dazed, his eyes returned to the person in the living room, who happened to be looking back at him, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth brought a familiar smile, which made Gao Wenxuan's heart clear and clear.

It was the first time he responded to his mother's birthday wishes, saying "thank you."

Thank you for bringing me into this world.

After hanging up the phone and entering the living room, Lin Mo asked, "Your mother?"

"Yes." Gao Wenxuan sat beside him and said, "Don't worry."

"I'm not worried."

"Really." Gao Wenxuan lowered his head and pressed his lips to Lin Mo's.

After these few days of intimacy, Lin Mo, who has become accustomed to the lover mode, closed his eyes meekly and enjoyed the long and gentle kiss, and was pushed down on the sofa by Gao Wenxuan unconsciously.

Lin Mo couldn't help but said, "Warning, it won't work here."

Gao Wenxuan smiled when he saw his serious face, "Why not?"

"Xiaobai is watching." The named Xiaobai was looking at the two masters who were going up and down by the sofa and wagging their tails enthusiastically.

Gao Wenxuan picked up the ball from under the sofa, called Xiaobai again, and threw it to the bedroom. Xiaobai immediately ran over to find toys. He likes round objects and can play for a long time on his own.

"I haven't watched it now." Gao Wenxuan narrowed his eyes.

"You—uh..."

Today's TV show session ended early again.
