save the leaves

One day, Xu Shaoqi received a call from Xu Wuzhou at the hotel, urging him to go home and visit his mother.Xu Shaoqi thought about it carefully and went to retreat for three weeks, and even scanned the three books he brought with him. It's really a day in the mountains, but a thousand years in the world.Xu Shaoqi stretched out his hands to rub his sore neck, and decided to take a vacation for himself, and go home for a tooth sacrifice.Staying in the city, although there is a lover, there is no good food.Neither he nor Ye Mo has the ability to serve people without the conditions to fire.Ye Mo ate and drank spicy food at the old director's house all day long, and he dealt with it casually in the street shop.Looking at the time, it's 3:2 noon, no traffic jams, and you'll be home in [-] hours. Hehe, Xu Shaoqi's saliva began to drool when he could eat his mother's braised big stick bones at night. 【Brother Mo, my mother told me to go back.I'm leaving first, and I'll be back in a few days. 】

【good.Be careful on the road.Don't forget the charger. 】

Since the last time he forgot the charger in the hotel, Ye Mo took care of him like an old lady.Xu Shaoqi made faces at his imaginary enemy in the empty room.Then he raised the telescope close to the window, 【Brother Mo, turn around and let me take another look. Say Hi! 】

Ye Mo in the small lens was reading the text message while pursing his lips and smiling. Then he pretended to stretch and went to the window to do gymnastics. He seemed to be exercising, but his big eyes kept blinking in his direction.Suddenly someone called him in the corridor, and Ye Mo turned around in a panic.It turns out that when you were also afraid, Xu Shaoqi whistled triumphantly.

Xu Shaoqi hummed a little song, packed his luggage, left the hotel happily, and drove towards home. After 5 o'clock, the Hummer drove into the community.There is a truck blocking the way at the door of the house, and workers are moving tall green plants to the house.His mother likes serving flowers and plants the most, so she buys flowers and plants at home every three days, and gives them away with the varieties she has cultivated.Two workers went in carrying a tray of fortune trees, and Mother Xu came out to carry another tray of shorter bonsai pine trees.

"Mom, don't do it. Be careful and dodge your back." Xu Shaoqi stepped on the brakes and hurriedly jumped out of the car to stop it.He remembered that his mother was found to have a herniated lumbar disc last year.Xu Shaoqi rushed over with the key bag, took the pine tree from Mother Xu, and carried it home.Mother Xu froze for a moment, and followed closely behind.

"Where to put it?" Xu Shaoqi walked into the living room and asked his mother.

Mother Xu didn't seem to hear the question, but instead asked, "Shaoqi, what did you call me just now?"

"What's it called?" Xu Shaoqi replied inexplicably, "Oh, tell me where to put it? It's not easy for me to carry it."

"Anything—" Xu's mother pointed to the ground casually, then covered her nose, and rubbed her tears with her head.

"Why are you crying?" Xu Shaoqi bent down to put down the bonsai and asked in surprise.

"Oh, who bullied you, old woman? Xu Shaoqi, why did you make your mother angry as soon as you came back?" Director Xu just walked in from the outside and scolded.

"I didn't—" Xu Shaoqi was so wronged that he wanted to vomit blood.He was clearly playing Lei Feng just now.

"Don't talk nonsense about your son. He is fine!" Mother Xu wiped her tears while beating her husband.Then she said in a low voice, "My son called me mom."

"Ah—" Xu Shaoqi and his father exclaimed at the same time.Didn't he just call him "Auntie"?Xu Shaoqi scratched his head with his hands, why was a word missing?It's really inexplicable, but the splashed water can't be recovered, so he can only look up and laugh at his mother.Immediately afterwards, Director Xu uttered another oh, and stood at the door looking at his son's face expectantly.Xu Shaoqi felt embarrassed for no reason. "I—that—haven't parked the car yet?" Xu Shaoqi lowered his head and squeezed out from his father.

When he entered the room again, the dining table was steaming, and the niece, nephew, sister-in-law and parents sat around lively, seemingly not waiting for him, but the fiery gaze from his mother put a lot of pressure on him.Xu Shaoqi's footsteps were slightly sluggish, and then he braced himself to meet him.

"Sit down, Shaoqi." Sister-in-law Jin Rui greeted her quite differently today.

Xu Shaoqi left the seat specially reserved for him beside his father, and chose to sit next to his nephew. "Shaoqi, Aunt Liu is burning your favorite big stick bone, eat slowly!" Xu's mother blushed, and handed the bowl and chopsticks to Xu Shaoqi.

"Come on, I'm happy today, take out that bottle of Moutai, I'll go with my second child." Director Xu directed Mother Xu with a smile.

"Dad, I'll get it." Jin Rui quickly got up.

The small blue and white porcelain wine glass was filled, and Xu Shaoqi knew that the time for everyone's attention had come. He had to say that simple word, or he would be sorry for the three pairs of expecting eyes.The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became. Xu Shaoqi picked up the wine glass, but he didn't dare to look at the other person. His lips met, which should be fine, but his lips trembled several times, but he couldn't make a sound.It's not that he doesn't want to post it. Now that it's over, it doesn't make any difference to shout one more time, but why did he suffer from aphasia?At this time, Ye Mo's electronic board that can write is so convenient, writing is easier than making a sound.His unsteady breathing was very clear on the quiet desktop. "Okay, let's do it first." In the end, it was his dearest mother who saved him.

"Hey, that's fine." Director Xu raised his head slightly disappointed and killed him.Xu Shaoqi also quickly killed him. "Come, eat vegetables, second child." Mother Xu put the ribs into his bowl.

"Mom, I'll do it myself." Hey, it's really strange that calling mom is no longer difficult, but calling that word is still very difficult.There was a faint sigh from across the table.

Xu Shaoqi finished the meal as quickly as possible, and slipped away with the excuse of packing his luggage.After closing the door of his room, Xu Shaoqi felt that the world was finally safe.He lazily fell on the bed, turned on the TV, and chose an old Schwarzenegger movie to divert his attention.When the movie was almost over, I heard a conversation between my sister-in-law and my brother who deliberately lowered their voices outside the door. "Shaoqi called mom today, do you think it's strange?" "Really? No wonder mom is so happy!" "Yeah, but he still refuses to call dad. The old man is hiding in the study and sulking!" "Hey, grievances It’s deeper, hehe.” Hearing this, the heart that originally wanted to ask my brother for advice suddenly retracted.

For several days, no matter where he went, even when he played in Cheng Wendan's apartment, he could still hear people's comments on him.Such a trivial thing as "Mom" actually made the headlines in the circle.Xu Shaoqi felt embarrassed, so he simply didn't go out, and waited for the wind to pass away.

In the evening, he opened the "Enterprise Marketing Strategy", read it, and searched for information on the Internet with his notebook.While thinking about it seriously, the door was gently opened.Xu Shaoqi thought it was his mother who came in, so he didn't look back.Xu's mother came in three or four times a day under the name of cleaning, sometimes just to look around, Xu Shaoqi didn't bother to say hello unless his mother asked.He continued to read his book, thinking that his mother would be out soon.After a while, he realized that the person behind him was still there, and he turned around curiously and asked, "Mom, what's the matter with you?"It was Director Xu staring at him with a smile. "Oh, it's you? I thought it was Mom. That—what's the matter with you?"

"It's all right. Look at yours. I'm leaving." Director Xu waved his hand and walked towards the door very satisfied.

Xu Shaoqi looked at the slightly bent back, feeling uncomfortable.He was a three-good student until the age of 18. Isn't it just a waste of four years, just make up for it. As for such a fuss?As Ye Mo said, climbing a mountain is not about speed, but about perseverance, and the one who climbs to the top is the real winner.

Hey, no matter who you love.Xu Shaoqi shook his head, excluded the interfering factors, and returned his attention to the book.But interference is interference. He suddenly thought of someone far away, so he turned on his phone and sent a text message, [Honey, what are you doing? 】

[Don't call it that, it's not good to be seen.I'm going back to 305. 】

[What does it matter?No male or female can be seen. 】

[Don't do this, Shaoqi.Renju has noticed.Asked me last night if I was in love? 】

[Then how did you answer? 】

[Of course not.Otherwise he wants to see you. 】

[Okay, I don't mind, it depends on whether he minds.How did he see it? 】

[Because I always keep my hair down and send text messages, and laugh all the time, I was misunderstood by the old bureau chief. 】

[Why is it a misunderstanding?It was originally a relationship, but the object was of the same sex. 】

【hey-hey. 】

【What does hey mean?Do you admit that you are in love with me, or do you not admit it?say clearly. 】

Xu Shaoqi clicked 'send' with full expectation, but he waited for a long time without getting a response.He guessed that Ye Mo was going downstairs, walking, and going upstairs. Well, no matter what the excuse, there should be time to reply to the letter in half an hour, but unfortunately he didn't.Xu Shaoqi recalled Ye Mo's focused gaze in his mind, as if he was the only one in his eyes.But why didn't he reply with a simple 'yes'?It was originally a small question that did not require doubt, but Ye Mo's attitude was like fishing for sand in the sea, and he had nowhere to look for it.Xu Shaoqi stood up restlessly, pacing back and forth in the room.Could it be that Ye Mo, who doesn't love money, still has a purpose for him?Impossible, he shook his head, if Ye Mo needed it, wouldn't it be faster, better and worry-free to join the powerful Qin family?Why bother clinging to a risky minority shareholder like him?
