rest of life

Gu Qingyun looked at her face, seeing that she really didn't like it, he hesitated for a while.

Then said in a compromising tone, "Okay, I won't bark."

Tong Yao: "Okay, thank you."

Gu Qingyun fondled the top of her hair, "Little Bear, don't lose weight, okay?"

Tong Yao: "...I will forget if you don't mention it."

Gu Qingyun: "..."

—

After dinner, Tong Yao lay down and played with her mobile phone as usual, when she suddenly saw two messages from Tong Xiaojun.

One is a screenshot, a temporary business trip notice sent by the leader of their group.

Just in time for him to talk to Tong Yao about having dinner.

Tong Xiaojun: [I'm downstairs at your house now, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, so I might as well treat you to dinner tonight. ]

Tong Yao stared wide-eyed in fright, and immediately sat up:

[You are sick?Are you really downstairs in my house?Do you think you are waiting for your girlfriend? ]

Tong Xiaojun sent another photo of the location.

Accompanied by doubts: [Why are you angry? Could it be that someone living in the house is not convenient for me to see? ]

Tong Yao got up while sending a message to scold him.

Holding the keys and mobile phone, he made an excuse to Gu Qingyun to go for a walk.

After leaving the gate of the community, I stopped a taxi and went back to the community where I used to live.

It had just rained heavily outside, and there was a sweet smell of rainwater in the air.

Tong Yao stepped lightly, approached Tong Xiaojun slowly from behind, then jumped up and strangled him hard on the back of his neck with her arms, pressing him down as she did when she was a child, and stepped on his shoes again: "Aren't you a fool!"

"Damn... these shoes are new!!"

Tong Xiaojun was strangled by her suddenly, and she stepped on new shoes again and again, so angry, "If you weren't so famous, why would I come here right after get off work! I'm hungry!"

Tong Yao took a look and recognized that the shoes were quite expensive, she immediately spread her hands and smiled and said, "You deserve it! What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you to eat!"

Tong Yao sighed, "Then you follow me and just eat something at the dirty restaurant at the gate of the community."

"..."

Seeing that she came back from outside, Tong Xiaojun thought she had just left work: "Have you eaten by yourself? Are you hungry? Will you still kill me when it's delivered to your door?"

Tong Yao looked him up and down, and said with disgust, "Forget it."

Tong Yao has lived here for so many years, and she has never eaten in such a small restaurant at the door.The conscientious prices on the menu made her feel as if she was in a school cafeteria.

It was full of men eating.

"..."

Sit down and say hello.

Tong Xiaojun never departed from his roots, and he still advised her to go home quickly.

"To tell you the truth," Tong Yao stared at the small stir-fried vegetables on the table, her face expressionless, "My parents and your relatives only said that I ran away from home because I failed the college entrance examination and refused to repeat it, but that's not the case , not just this."

"I heard that you made bad friends and were influenced..." Tong Xiaojun asked softly, "Puppy love?"

"Well, it's not puppy love, I just have a crush on him wishful thinking."

"and then?"

Tong Yao looked up at him.

This cousin has changed from a thin and thin boy to a man with an ordinary face, and he has not changed the fact that he regards himself as his own sister.

"There is no more. She is a girl, so my parents said that I had made bad friends and was brought on badly. They didn't admit that I liked her."

"..."

"They took me to see a psychiatrist to help me treat my illness, but I couldn't be cured anyway. I couldn't even recite the words after taking the medicine for depression. Later, I ran away and signed up for the volunteer. Don't want to talk to me any more."

It was the first time Tong Yao told him about it.

Tong Xiaojun was silent for a while, then said emphatically, "They...they think that if you are cold, you will change your mind and go home. After all, you have such good grades since you were a child, and you were promoted to a key school all the way. At the last moment, the exam What kind of third-rate university has entered, and a hundred pairs of parents have the same idea!"

"Well, I'm too timid. I'm afraid that if I study for another year, I won't even be able to pass the college entrance examination."

Tong Yao smiled helplessly. At that time, her memory was good and bad. Thinking of going back to the third year of high school to continue studying and memorizing some things that she would never remember, she felt that the sky was about to fall.

"It's okay. The past is over. What is the college entrance examination? If I don't take the exam, it won't delay my sister."

"Brother, do you know that my grandparents will take the bus to visit me every month after receiving their pensions and give me living expenses. Later, I didn't allow them to come again, and promised them to go back to eat every month."

Tong Yao has lived here for so many years, her grandparents know her address, and Tong Xiaojun knows her address.

Would her parents really not know?

"Guess how many times my parents visited me?"

Tong Xiaojun didn't speak.

Tong Yao smiled, "Not once."

On the contrary, Cary's living expenses have never been cut off.

A fixed amount every month, on a fixed date.

"The days when I go back to my grandparents' house are fixed, but I have never bumped into them. It's because they don't want to see me." Tong Yao's long eyelashes trembled, and she pursed her lips and said with a smile, "I don't want my daughter anymore."

"why?"

"Because I'm gay, you think it's okay? You might think it's okay, but my parents don't think so."

Back then when Liu Yunqian was aborted and her parents dragged her back from the hospital, she was always questioned all the way, why she was still with that woman, why she didn't cut off contact, and why the psychiatrist was useless?Why?Do you still like girls?

until home.

I just remembered to ask why she appeared in the obstetrics and gynecology department.

"..."

Tong Yao didn't answer a single question.

In the end, I was slapped by my mother and kicked out of the house by my father.

Tong Yao recalled, pursing her lips tightly, unable to hold back the tears soaking in her eyes.

He hurriedly lowered his face, took a deep breath for a while, and then said:

"Brother, let me tell you the truth, I don't live here anymore, I'm living with my girlfriend, and we're going to get married in the future. So, I can never go back to my parents' house."

"..."

Tong Xiaojun put down his chopsticks, took out a napkin, and wiped his mouth clean.

Silence for a long time and said: "Understood, don't worry, brother will help you."

—

Tong Yao didn't take what Tong Xiaojun said that day.

She hasn't been home for many years, and she feels nothing.

Normal graduation, normal work and commute.

I get off work early today, and I can go to the supermarket near the company to buy some favorite snacks.

Tong Yao picked and picked, wanted to get ice cream from the refrigerator, but was afraid that it would almost melt after shopping around.

So go buy something else.

When she reached the piece of fruit, she froze.

In the next second, he pulled the shopping cart and hid behind the shelf beside him.

Staring at the front, a pair of familiar and strange couple.They are picking vegetables.

"..."

Tong Yao's mind was blank.

The meeting was so sudden...but it wasn't really a meeting.When he realized it, tears were streaming down his face.

Tong Yao cried for a while, and through the thin film of tears, she vaguely saw a staff member not far away looking at her.

She regained her senses, turned around and quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeves.

Taking a deep breath, he smiled nonchalantly.

It took a while before I remembered what I was doing here.

She pushed the shopping cart and quickly left the area, went to her favorite puffed food, looked up at the dazzling array of snacks on the shelves, and didn't know which bag to take for a long time.

When she was a child, her parents would take her to the supermarket and they would say that she was only allowed to take three bags.

So she always picks and chooses, runs back and forth several times from the shopping cart to the shelf, keeps choosing and choosing, and finally keeps three.

Tong Yao was in a trance for half a second, and in the blink of an eye, she had already taken a messy bag of potato chips, and she was still taking it.

Don't look at it, throw it all into the shopping cart when you touch it with your fingertips.

As if taking revenge on someone.

"..."

Tong Yao pushed the shopping cart to the next shelf area, looked down at the shopping cart, there were a few packs of flavors that she didn't like, and she lay quietly.

After watching it for a while, I suddenly got a little tired.

Haven't grown up yet?

She sighed and pushed the cart back again.

Quietly put the few bags of potato chips that I didn't like carefully back in place.

Tong Yao had just finished playing when she saw a message on her phone.

Gu Qingyun: [Where have you been? ]

Tong Yao was taken aback for a moment, because she had to work overtime and not come back to eat, so she thought of going out to buy some snacks and have a casual meal.

[You're already home?I do my shopping in Xingjia Supermarket. ]

Gu Qingyun: [Have you eaten yet? ]

Tong Yao: [No]

Gu Qingyun quickly sent a sentence: [I'm here to find you]

Tong Yao immediately obediently took a photo of her location and sent it to her.

Tong Yao: [I am on the right between potato chips and chocolate]

Tong Yao: [I won’t wander around, I’ll wait for you here]

Gu Qingyun: "..."

She originally wanted to say that after she finished shopping, she would pick her up for dinner.

Seeing this message that seems like a primary school student is waiting for his parents to answer.

She raised her hand and pressed the corners of her eyes, her brows and eyes were curved, and she smiled helplessly and dotingly.

Reply quickly: [OK, wait for me. ]

Tong Yao folded her arms, stood by and watched the people coming and going, and suddenly realized that she could buy something first, and then go to eat with Gu Qingyun.

"..."

Forget it, they haven't visited the supermarket together yet.

Also very interesting.

—

Tong Yao waited for a while, finally seeing Gu Qingyun, she immediately rolled her eyes and trotted over.

"Hello slow."

Gu Qingyun smiled, "I just drove home, and came here again..."

A family of three passing by.

The parents are saying to the little boy: "You are only allowed to buy three toys, and you can choose by yourself, do you hear me?"

Tong Yao suddenly felt as if struck by lightning, her face turned pale.

After a moment of silence, he leaned into her arms and asked, "Why did you leave work so early?"

"Everything is over, why don't you go?" Gu Qingyun noticed that her expression was wrong, and reached out to touch her forehead, "Are you sick? Why do you feel that your face is not very good?"

Tong Yao thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I'm too hungry."

"Then can we go shopping in the supermarket? Let's have a meal before coming back?"

"It's okay," Tong Yao took out the chocolate from her crossbody bag, tore it open, and murmured to the staff next to her, "I'll eat it first...she wouldn't think I was in the supermarket, would she? ?”

Gu Qingyun glanced along.

Seeing the chocolates that can be taken out of her bag at any time, she raised her lips and smiled, "Then you eat it quickly."

"No, it's like selling stolen goods quickly. I have to eat slowly, not like a thief."

Tong Yao walked beside Gu Qingyun.

The front is where stationery is sold.

There was a little girl who was hugging her father's legs. She acted coquettishly, making the two balls on her head rise and fall, and her messy hair made her look even cuter.

"Other kids have them! I want them too!"

"You want it! Tell me how much you bought? The house is full of Aisha..." Her father scolded, but still brought her the smallest box, "Look at how my mother scolded you when I got home. .”

The little girl burst into tears for a second, shook her father's hand, and said in a childish voice, "Mom doesn't scold me, she only scolds you!"

"Then will you help Dad later?"

"No help."

"why?"

"I am afraid."

"Then dad is scared too..."

The father and daughter walked away.

"..."

Tong Yao took another look at the imported stationery set beside Frozen.

She wants it a little bit, but she really doesn't need it...

The colored pencils and ballpoint pens are barely usable, and the notebook next to it is still usable.

The rest of the mini scissors and square ruler set is purely for children.And a small piece of Elsa's eraser?Watching your favorite cartoon characters get dirty and mutilated due to your own mistakes?

Tong Yao muttered in her heart about the evil taste of the designer.

Gu Qingyun beside her followed her gaze, looked over, and couldn't help but chuckled.

The slender and white hands held the largest box of stationery sets in the middle and put them into their shopping carts.

"I'll buy it for you. If other kids have it, our Yaoyao should have it too."
