No.70 days

Early on Sunday morning, Shao Wu and Yang Shuyi got on the high-speed train back to Yongchuan.

Yang Shuyi had just had his hair cut the day before, and his temples were shaved so that only a layer of black stubble remained. The hair on the top of his head was a little longer, but it was also thinned, looking very fresh.When he was at home, Shao Wu couldn't help reaching out to touch the back of his head, and the fine hair tip poked in his palm, as if he was touching a small animal.

On the high-speed rail, Yang Shuyi straightened his collar while looking at the phone screen, first unbuttoned the top button of his shirt, hesitated for a moment, and then buttoned it again.

"Do you want to buckle this one?" He asked Shao Wu in a low voice, "Is it too serious?"

"It's fine, my mother is not so particular."

"Forget it." Facing the dark and reflective screen in silence for a few seconds, Yang Shuyi still unbuttoned the button, "This is more natural."

Shao Wu looked at him silently.Yang Shuyi was wearing a lead gray shirt with pure black trousers and half-rimmed glasses - formally like a college student attending an interview.But his expression and face are not as youthful as those of college students. Although he is also nervous, he is a little more solemn and abstinent.

Seeing Shao Wu's heart itching, his mind was full of thoughts that he was ashamed to say.

If I make it home in time tonight, I must...

"Why are you blushing?" Yang Shuyi asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Shao Wu touched his face and said guiltily, "I'm not a little nervous."

"Don't be afraid," Yang Shuyi pressed his shoulder, "I'm here, if Auntie really gets angry, you can hide behind me, you know?"

"Hmm...Okay." Shao Wu replied seriously, but he was a little funny in his heart. What do you mean by "hide behind me"?Do you really think his mother would pick up the bench and beat someone?

Besides, if you really want to fight, you should hit Wang Yujun and his boyfriend first...

From Chongqing to Yongchuan, the high-speed rail will arrive in [-] minutes.The two walked out of the high-speed rail station, took a taxi, and went straight to Shao Wu's house.It was just [-]:[-] when we got downstairs, which was still early.

"Go upstairs later, don't take out the gift yet," Shao Wu told Yang Shuyi, "We'll give it after my brother and the others finish it."

"Ok, I know."

"If they don't give as much as us..."

"Then avoid them and give the gift to Auntie privately?"

"Okay, that's it," Shao Wu nodded, "After all, it's my brother's birthday."

Wang Yujun and the others arrived in Yongchuan the night before, drove back from Chengdu, and stayed in the hotel after one o'clock in the morning.Shao Wu thought they must sleep late, so he didn't contact Wang Yujun in the morning.

When entering the corridor, Shao Wu heard Yang Shuyi take a deep breath.

Then Yang Shuyi turned around again, lowered his voice and said, "Look at my clothes, are they tidy?"

"It's very neat, don't worry," Shao Wu smiled at him comfortingly, "My mother is very talkative."

The two went upstairs, and when they reached the door, Shao Wu knocked on the door.

Yang Shuyi stood beside him without saying a word.

In fact, Shao Wu was also a little nervous.Not for anything else, just because this time he brought Yang Shuyi in front of his family - he and his mother-in-law Longlong had known each other for a long time, but this was the first time Yang Shuyi and his family met in such a solemn way.Although two men cannot get a certificate and cannot get married, but after seeing each other's family members, it is finally different, right?

It seemed to be some kind of recognition.

Shao Wu raised his hand and knocked on the door.

It was Wang Yujun who opened the door.

"Uh, brother," Shao Wu was taken aback for a moment, "are you here?"

"Here we are," Wang Yujun glanced at Yang Shuyi and raised his eyebrows, "There are so many people today, it's very lively."

"Yao'er is back," Wu Yan also came up to meet Yang Shuyi, her smile remained unchanged, "Xiao Yang is here too, come in and sit down."

"Hello, Auntie." Yang Shuyi entered the door and said with a smile, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

"What's the trouble, I'm happy that you are all back!"

Shao Wu thought, very good, my mother is in a good mood.

Walking into the living room, the man sitting on the sofa stood up.

"Are you Yujun's younger brother?" His tone was very enthusiastic.

"Ah, yes," Shao Wu nodded quickly, "Just call me Xiao Shao, what's your surname?"

"The surname is Zeng, it's the former Zeng," the man said, "Just call him by his first name, Zeng Chong."

"Hey, Brother Zeng," Shao Wu turned sideways and glanced at Yang Shuyi, "This is my...friend, Yang Shuyi."

Zeng Chong seemed to have been prepared for a long time, he shook hands with Yang Shuyi equally enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, haha, nice to meet you."

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone finally sat down.

Taking advantage of the handshake just now, Shao Wu had already looked at Zeng Chong carefully.

This man was even more exaggerated than Yang Shuyi, he came directly in a black suit, his hair looked like he had been grabbed on purpose, just now he was close, and Shao Wu still smelled a very faint scent of perfume on him.

What does he look like, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, quite upright.Of course, worse than Yang Shuyi.

Shao Wu glanced at the coffee table, raised his eyes, and met Wu Yan's gaze.

"Hungry?" Wu Yan said, "I ordered food at the restaurant and it will be delivered at eleven, why don't you eat some fruit first."

"Well, good." Shao Wu obediently picked up an orange from the fruit plate.

He was not actually hungry, and he glanced at the coffee table, looking for a gift.

Look for Wang Yujun and the others to give mom a gift.

Ordinarily, when mom received something, she should put it directly on the coffee table, right?They are all from my own family, so there is no need to hide them.However, there are only fruit plates and paper drawers on the coffee table.

Shao Wu glanced down again, but did not see the gift bag on the ground.

Didn't send it?Can't.

"Brother, have you just arrived?" Shao Wu asked Wang Yujun.

"It's been a while," Wang Yujun said with a smile, "Zeng Chong was very annoying. He woke me up early in the morning and urged me to bring him here quickly to try on the bracelet for Mom."

Shao Wu: "Try what?"

"This," Wu Yan rolled up the sleeve of her right hand, and said in a reproachful tone, "you children, you spend money like this!"

"Auntie, you are too polite," Zeng Chong said bluntly, "It's all what we should. Besides, money, if you earn it, you spend it—you like it is the most important thing."

Shao Wu stared blankly at Wu Yan's wrist.

It's so thick...a very thick jadeite bracelet.

Dark green, with a clear and delicate texture... Could it be the so-called ice species?

The jadeite bracelet was worn on Wu Yan's wrist, making her skin white as snow and full of nobility.

Shao Wu turned his head and saw that Yang Shuyi was also staring at the bracelet, in a daze.

"Brother Zeng," Shao Wu said tentatively, "this bracelet...is it expensive?"

"It's not expensive, it's not expensive," Zeng Chong shook his head repeatedly, "It's really not expensive."

"Really," Wang Yujun also said, "Mom, you can just wear it for fun."

Shao Wu: "..."

A family of five chatted politely.However, Wu Yan and Zeng Chong were mainly talking, and the three of them listened.

It turned out that Zeng Chong was Wang Yujun's high school classmate, but unfortunately Wang Yujun dropped out of school, and Zeng Chong was admitted to Chengdu University of Electronic Science and Technology. After graduation, he started his own business and is now the boss of a software company.

"Ouch," Wu Yan sighed, "you manage such a big company by yourself!"

Zeng Chong said modestly: "There are only about two hundred employees, not a big company, haha."

Shao Wu and Yang Shuyi looked at each other.

Eyes are complicated.

As we chatted, time passed quickly.After a while, the restaurant called, saying that the dishes had been delivered downstairs, please go downstairs and get them.

"Let's go with Shuyi," Shao Wu said, "You two are chatting."

"Hey, let's go together," Zeng Chong also got up, "There is still something in the car, I forgot to bring it up just now."

So Zeng Chong went downstairs with Shao Wu and Yang Shuyi.

After receiving the food from the delivery man, Shao Wu and Yang Shuyi each carried a bag, stared blankly at Zeng Chong, and opened the door of a black Land Rover a few steps away from them.

Zeng Chong put something in his pocket first, the speed was too fast, Shao Wu didn't see clearly.Then I saw him holding out a gift box in one hand, walking towards Shao Wu and the others beamingly.

"Xiao Shao, I don't know what Auntie's attitude is." He looked a little nervous, but his voice was very loud, "You can say something nice for me then!"

"No problem, no problem," Shao Wu didn't quite understand what he said, but still nodded, "Uh, what are these?"

Didn't you send an emerald bracelet? !

How come? !

"This..." Zeng Chong raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and said in a low voice, "I'm giving you a betrothal gift."

Shao Wu: "..."

Yang Shuyi: "..."

Yang Shuyi said calmly: "Brother Zeng, how much do you give? I will refer to it."

"Hi," Zeng Chong raised his chin, "Not much, just a little gold bars."

Yang Shuyi: "Gold bars?"

"Well," Zeng Chong said as he walked into the corridor, "gold bars."
