When Xie Wenyuan pushed open the study door, Xu Yin was sitting on the small sofa drinking tea from a small ceramic cup.Seeing Xie Wenyuan come in, she pointed to the seat opposite: "Sit down."

Xie Wenyuan walked over and sat down without saying a word.Qin Chu's appearance just now is still vivid in his memory, and Xie Wenyuan's expression is also two points heavy.

Xu Yin lifted her wrist lightly and poured a cup of tea for Xie Wenyuan. When she looked up, she found that her son was looking at her with scrutiny.

Xu Yin couldn't help laughing, she put down the small teapot in her hand, and explained slowly: "I just asked a few questions, there is no other meaning."

Xie Wenyuan looked at her straight: "He is very sad."

The smile on the corner of Xu Yin's mouth remained unchanged: "Thinking through some issues earlier will be beneficial to both of you."

Xie Wenyuan pursed his lips, instead of reaching for the teacup, he looked at Xu Yin with piercing eyes, and got straight to the point: "What do you want to say?"

Xu Yin gracefully picked up the teacup and took a sip, then slowly said: "I want to know what you think. Wen Yuan, you have always had your own ideas, and you don't know what happens when you fall in love with a boy thing?"

Xie Wenyuan froze for a moment, he was silent for two seconds, and simply replied: "I know."

Xu Yin's eyes also became sharper: "Is it worth giving up what you've been chasing for so long for a relationship that doesn't necessarily have results?"

The mother and son faced each other in the small study room, Xie Wenyuan's eyes did not change once, he was not as flustered as Qin Chu, as if he had an answer in his heart.

After thinking for a while, Xie Wenyuan opened his mouth. His voice was calm, but he didn't answer the question directly.

Xie Wenyuan: "Someone always asks me how much fun you have missed in life when you study so hard. You don't play ball, you don't watch movies, you don't even have friends, and even my dad is always worried that I will get autism... "

Xu Yin raised her eyebrows in surprise, as if she didn't expect Xie Wenyuan to mention this suddenly.

Xie Wenyuan's eyes suddenly became firm: "Mom, I don't think there is any pity. There are only so many human energy and time. I am willing to spend it on study and research. I think it is worth it."

He paused for a while, then continued: "One's life is only so long. I have gained some, but I am doomed to give up others. Even if I can't continue to develop in academia because of this, I don't feel regretful."

"I like him, and I feel happy being with him, which cannot be brought about by research projects." Xie Wenyuan said seriously: "It doesn't matter whether this matter is right or not, as long as I think it's worth it."

There was a moment of silence in the room, and Xu Yin's hand holding the teacup froze in mid-air.I don't know if this posture has been maintained for a long time, Xu Yin's hand shook slightly, and some tea left in the teacup dripped down, leaving a round tea stain on the snow-white trousers.

Xu Yin seemed to be woken up, she reached out and put the teacup back on the tray, with a confused look on her face.

Xie Wenyuan straightened his back and watched her every move with his eyes.He has thought about this passage for a long time. Although he is extremely firm in his heart, he still hopes that this relationship can be recognized by his family.

Xu Yin lowered her head and smiled, as if she remembered something.She looked up and smiled: "Well, as long as you think it's worth it, mom will support you."

The corner of Xie Wenyuan's mouth curled up uncontrollably: "Thank you, Mom."

Xu Yin shook her head: "Thank you. But Qin Chu doesn't seem to have thought about these issues yet... Let him think about it, don't rush to tell him."

Xie Wenyuan frowned slightly.Seeing his displeasure, Xu Yin couldn't help laughing: "Give him some time, these issues...he has to figure it out by himself."

Xie Wenyuan nodded reluctantly, until this time, he slowly relaxed.Xie Wenyuan picked up the cup of tea he had just poured, and took a small sip.The tea was already a little cold, and the bitterness in it became more obvious.

Xie Wenyuan was thinking about Qin Chu in his heart, chatted with Xu Yin for a few more words, and then got up to leave.

Xu Yin didn't keep him any longer, and the study returned to silence.The tea in the teapot had cooled down, so Xu Yin picked up the teapot, turned around and put it on the small stove next to it.

After a while, the door of the study was pushed open again.Xu Yin didn't even look back, Xie Yao came over and hugged her from behind: "How is it?"

Xu Yin relaxed herself and let the man behind wrap her in his arms.Her voice was soft: "I remembered some things from the past..."

When Xu Yin first fell in love with Xie Yao, Xie Yao was just a graduate student studying for a master's degree in a research institute.Even though he already has some research results in his hands, in the Xu family's view, he is still an unsuitable target.What's more, some of Xie Yao's casual and romantic practices, in the eyes of the traditional family, are typical examples of impoliteness and nonsense.

At that time, Xu Yin's father also said this to her. At that time, the stubborn girl also told him: "Dad, this is my choice, and I think it's worth it."

Xie Yao seemed to know what she was thinking, he pinched Xu Yin's nose: "You had a lot of things in your mind at that time, and you were not willing to tell me." He snorted angrily again: "You and Wen Yuan's thoughts are hidden deep, and he is holding back his words, but he is unwilling to speak. He is so angry."

It is said that knowing a son is like a father, Xie Wenyuan is also a person with deep thoughts.Most of the time, he had already planned everything in his heart, but he didn't tell Qin Chu anything.

Just like when Qin Chu had a breakdown with his family, Qin Chu didn't want him to know, so he pretended not to know.

It's a pity that Xie Xueba didn't know that this time his little boyfriend's brain hole had been opened to outer space, and he couldn't even make up for it.

When Xie Wenyuan returned to the room, he had a lot of things in his mind that he wanted to tell Qin Chu.He wanted to tell Qin Chu that his determination and decision wanted Qin Chu to be as firm as him.

But after he pushed open the door, he found that there was no sign of his boyfriend in the room, but the sound of water coming from the bathroom.

Xie Wenyuan went to the bed and sat down. There was a vague shadow behind the frosted glass, but he didn't move at all, as if he was just numbly drenching water under the nozzle.

The sound of water was rustling, Xie Wenyuan looked at the shadow through a layer of frosted glass, and couldn't help but start to drift.The desire to confide just now slowly diminished in such a minute-by-second wait.On the contrary, the words of Xie's mother became more and more clear in his mind: "Give him some time, these problems... He has to think clearly by himself."

Maybe what Xu Yin said was right, those thoughts were only his one side, what did Qin Chu think?he does not know……

And in the bathroom separated from him by the wall, Qin Chu also lowered his head, with water pouring down from the top of his head. He closed his eyes and silently guessed Xie Wenyuan's thoughts.

Did Mother Xie clearly express her objection to Xie Wenyuan?Will Xie Wenyuan break up with him...Qin Chu has no idea.

For a moment, the two people were separated by a thin layer of frosted glass, guessing each other's thoughts, but no one wanted to talk openly.

Time passed by, seeing the hour hand pointing to 11, Xie Wenyuan looked at the figure in the bathroom, and finally said: "Qin Chu, it's late, come out to sleep after washing."

Qin Chu's whole body trembled, he moved his body slightly, and opened his eyes.Those eyes were soaked with water, I don't know if it was his tears or the water from the shower.

Hearing that there was no movement inside for a long time, Xie Wenyuan couldn't help calling softly again: "Qin Chu?"

Qin Chu wiped the water from his face, his voice was a bit hoarse, but his tone sounded very natural: "Well, I'll be right out. Go to sleep first."

Ten minutes later, the sound of water stopped, but Qin Chu still hadn't come out of the bathroom.Xie Wenyuan raised his voice and asked again, but Qin Chu just said to let Xie Wenyuan go to bed first and not to wait for him.

After several times, Xie Wenyuan finally understood that Qin Chu didn't want to face him.Maybe Qin Chu just saw that he was coming back, so he hid in the bathroom.

Xie Wenyuan sat on the bed for a long time, finally got up and turned off the headlights in the bedroom, and the whole room was suddenly left with only a small dim light by the bedside.

Xie Wenyuan lay down with his back facing the direction of the bathroom.After a while, the door lock of the bathroom made a "click" sound, and a person wearing wet slippers came out of it.

Qin Chu saw Xie Wenyuan lying with his back facing him at a glance, and he must have fallen asleep.

Qin Chu breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't know how to face Xie Wenyuan. He didn't think through any of the questions that Xie's mother asked.He wanted to be with Xie Wenyuan, but he was afraid that he would hold back Xie Wenyuan and make him unable to do what he wanted to do.

Compared to these, Qin Chu was most worried that Xie Wenyuan would come back and say goodbye to him.Although he knew in his heart that this possibility would not exceed one percent, but at this time, Qin Chu felt inexplicably unconfident.

Qin Chu crawled into the bed lightly, then raised his hand and turned off the light that was still on by the bedside.The room was plunged into darkness, with only a small spot of light peeking through the gap in the curtains.

Mother Xie's words resounded in Qin Chu's mind over and over again.

Those questions were tightly tied to his head like a curse, which made him feel headaches.Qin Chu's eyes unconsciously stared at the spot of light in the dark night.His head was in chaos, like a messy hairball, and it seemed that he couldn't find a thread that could be sorted out.

After an unknown amount of time, just as Qin Chu was struggling, a rustling sound suddenly came from beside him.Xie Wenyuan turned over and met Qin Chu's eyes.

Qin Chu was startled, he thought that the person next to him had already fallen asleep, but Xie Xueba's eyes were bright and he seemed to be half asleep.

Qin Chu was stunned for two seconds, then he closed his eyes in a flash, and smacked his lips while pretending to be asleep.

Xie Wenyuan: "..."

Qin Chu didn't fall asleep, so Xie Xueba fell asleep again. He looked at the familiar face in front of him.Qin Chu closed his eyes, but his eyelashes trembled with the rhythm of his breathing.

Xie Wenyuan looked at him for a long time, then called softly: "Qin Chu."

The boy's clear voice sounded particularly conspicuous in the silent room.Qin Chu's heart trembled, and he almost wanted to open his eyes.

Fortunately, apart from calling his name, Xie Wenyuan didn't say anything afterwards.Qin Chu turned over stiffly, pretending to be in a deep sleep.He hasn't found the answer yet... let alone how to tell Xie Wenyuan.

Xie Xueba looked at the soft hair on the back of his head and felt Qin Chu's resistance.He was silent for two seconds, didn't say anything in the end, and turned over.

The night was silent, and occasionally the sound of wheels driving across the road could be heard outside the window.Qin Chu kept his eyes open on such a night, without feeling sleepy at all.

At this moment, the two are clearly sleeping on the same bed, but their backs are facing each other, with their own unspeakable little thoughts in their hearts.

A night passed so peacefully, as if nothing happened, but under the silence, there was a dark tide.

In the next few days, Qin Chu kept avoiding Xie Wenyuan's sight calmly.He still has a smile on his face, and occasionally cracks a joke at the dinner table.But he has been deliberately avoiding Xie Wenyuan, and even started to accompany Xie Yao to watch news broadcasts and dog blood TV series every night.

The onlookers watched the whole process of their son and daughter-in-law's quarrel, and were accidentally injured by Xie Wenyuan's air-conditioned knife from time to time.Father Xie, who had endured for several days under the instructions of his wife, finally couldn't bear it anymore.

After a seemingly warm dinner, Xie Yao grabbed Qin Chu who was about to turn on the TV.He solemnly stuffed a long note into Qin Chu's hand: "Xiao Qin, it's almost Chinese New Year. You see, Xu Yin and I don't have time. You will run twice during the day tomorrow to help Let’s buy some New Year’s goods at home.”

Qin Chu held the note in his hand, and was stunned for a while: "Shall I go buy new year's goods?"

He looked at the list in his hand in disbelief, with the names and quantities of each item written in small letters, and it was thanks to his mother's handwriting.

In the past few days, neither Xie Wenyuan nor Xu Yin expressed anything, and Qin Chu felt more and more uneasy.In his heart, he almost believed that Xu Yin was just beating around the bush to express his dissatisfaction, and wanted him to retreat.

But at this time again, Xie Yao handed him a note asking him to buy new year's goods.Qin Chu was a little confused, and couldn't help being shaken in his heart.

Faced with Xie's father's expectant eyes, Qin Chu opened his mouth, and it took him a long time to choke out a sentence: "I...I don't know where the shopping mall here is."

Xie Yao seemed to be waiting for Qin Chu to ask this question, and he patted Qin Chu's shoulder with a smile: "Oh, why don't you ask Wen Yuan to accompany you, anyway, he's fine during the day."

"But..." Qin Chu glanced back, and Xie Xueba was sitting on the sofa expressionlessly playing with a small model.The cold air was blowing out from his body, and he wanted to write a few words on his face, "I'm in a bad mood, please don't come close."

Xie Yao saw Qin Chu's hesitation, he showed a fox-like smile, and whispered, "There are so many things, even if you know the place, you can't move them back by yourself. Let him go with you, huh?"

Qin Chu felt that the note in his hand was like a hot potato, and he looked back at the college bully on the sofa, deeply feeling that he had been tricked.
