Know what I mean

Zhang Yiming pretended to call a car on the side of the street. He was so curious that he wanted to know why Kong Yinhong came to the company suddenly, and why it was related to Shen Duoyi.

And the matter must be very private, otherwise he would not deliberately dismiss him.The rain hadn't stopped, and his suit was covered in fine raindrops.When I looked up, I saw a lovely Beetle passing by slowly.

"Hey, stop, stop, take out your driver's license." He reached out to stop him, pretending to be a traffic policeman.The car window was down, and You Si, who was passing by after get off work, sat in the driver's seat and said impatiently: "What are you doing, you are in a hurry to pick up the child."

Zhang Yiming opened the car window: "Why do you always let you, my sister, pick you up? Why doesn't You Zhe, who is an uncle, pick you up? That's right, why do French fries call you sister-in-law and You Zhe uncle, I don't think it's right."

You Si turned her head and didn't look at him: "Nephew and aunt, nephew and uncle, let's pick a relative." She caught a glimpse of Qi Shi'an and Shen Duoyi at the gate of Ming'an, and took a closer look and there was Kong Yinhong.

"what's the situation?"

Zhang Yiming said: "I don't know either, it seems to be tricky."

The Beetle stopped by the side of the road, and when Zhang Yiming and You Si walked to Ming'an's gate, they heard Kong Yinhong say something "very hateful".The two looked at each other, and then saw Qi Shi'an and Shen Duoyi standing side by side.

"Auntie, we haven't finished talking yet." Zhang Yiming saw that the situation was not good, "We made an appointment to meet at Shi'an's place today, is it going to be rescheduled?"

You Si was bumped on the elbow, and he responded, "It will be the Year of the Monkey again, and everyone is very busy."

It was already dark, and there was a thunderstorm at this moment, and Kong Yinhong realized that he and the two children had been standing at the door for so long.She couldn't believe her irrationality, and she didn't want to listen to any persuasion and explanation.

"Let's get together, I'm going back." She opened her umbrella and wanted to say something when she passed by Qi Shi'an and Shen Duoyi, but in the end she didn't say anything.

There were only four juniors left at Ming'an's gate, Zhang Yiming and You Si just relied on the intuition of their friends for many years to respond to rescue Qi Shi'an and Shen Duoyi, but they didn't know what happened.

You Si looked at his watch: "I really have to pick up the child, let's go."

Zhang Yiming followed and raised his hand to cover You Si from the rain, and turned his head to Qi Shi'an and said, "When is the meeting, do you two have any personal relationship behind our backs?"

The two people had already walked to the side of the street and got into the car, Qi Shi'an held Shen Duoyi back: "Let's go too."

Shen Duoyi walked towards the parking lot in a daze, and did not respond to the raindrops on the tips of his hair dripping into his eyes.Qi Shi'an held him, and explained in a low voice: "My mother said that because she didn't understand the situation, and she always spoke ruthlessly. When she calms down, she will listen to my explanation."

Shen Duoyi took a deep breath: "I'm fine, I was a little too anxious today, and I didn't behave well."

"What's wrong, I have to go home and write down what I said." They had already walked to the front of the car, and Qi Shi'an finally warned, "Don't think too much, drive carefully on the road."

The ground was slippery, and Shen Duoyi was really driving carefully. Sitting alone in the carriage, he felt a little helpless.When the light is red, I look through the phone's address book, but who can I confide in this kind of thing?

The screen suddenly flickered. He looked at the caller ID and hurriedly grabbed the caller to connect.

"Lulu?"

"Are you at home? I just came back from surveying the water system around the city. I bought a few boxes of dragon fruit in the orchard on the outskirts of the city. I want to get you two boxes."

Shen Duoyi looked at the time: "I'll be home in 5 minutes, what do you want for dinner?"

The two met downstairs, and both of their faces were wet from the rain.Lu Ketong carried the painting tube on his back, and struggled to hold two boxes of dragon fruit.Shen Duoyi took it, remembering that when Lu Ketong was living in the alley, the first time Lu Ketong went to his room was to give him dragon fruit to eat.

The housekeeping aunt added two more dishes before leaving. The weather was bad. After eating, they took care of Mrs. Shen and went to bed early before they had time to sit down and chat.Shen Duoyi took a towel and put it on Lu Ketong, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you so busy?"

Lu Ketong sat on a soft cushion, with blueprints on the coffee table, and replied: "The leader has a lot of demands, but actually I'm about to quit. I'm going to open a restaurant and become the owner."

Shen Duoyi said: "I support you, let all colleagues go when the time comes."

"Just say it nicely." Lu Ketong didn't even raise his head, "When the time comes, you take your family members there, and I'll kill you hard."

Shen Duoyi guessed that Lu Ketong had heard something from Fei Yuan. He lay on the sofa, turned sideways and saw Lu Ketong's side face, then reached out and clasped Lu Ketong's shoulder, saying: "Lu Lu, actually I saw his mother today, and it was very unpleasant."

Lu Ketong immediately threw the pen away, turned around and asked, "Why, is it because you simply can't accept your orientation, or do you have a problem with you?"

"I can't accept it, and I'm not satisfied." Shen Duoyi smiled helplessly, "His mother said that I kept it from my family, but he confessed it frankly and wanted me to be recognized. He thought I was hateful."

Lu Ketong said angrily: "Grandpa is already eighty, what should I say, and if your uncle and aunt are still alive, you will definitely confess. Isn't this a forced pick? Don't be sad. If you can't explain it once, you can explain it twice." He said He became even angrier, "Why, isn't this bullying you without parents? How can you sprinkle salt on your wounds... I'm so mad!"

Shen Duoyi comforted: "Don't be angry, it's not that serious, his mother doesn't know about my family's situation."

"That makes sense." Lu Ketong calmed down a bit, "Wait a minute, his own mother? Does he have a stepmother?"

Shen Duoyi nodded, and Lu Ketong leaned on the sofa: "What's wrong with the world, some people don't have mothers, and some people have two mothers. This is how conflicts arise. It's not about being few, but about being uneven. "

After being depressed all night, Shen Duoyi finally smiled sincerely, and echoed while having fun: "That's right, return the two mothers, do what they can."

It was very late, Shen Duo intended to let Lu Ketong stay overnight, and Lu Ketong was too sleepy to walk, but the doorbell rang just as soon as the painting tube was packed.Fei Yuan took Lu Ketong away, and before leaving, he made an appointment to try the dishes after opening the restaurant.

At the same time, Qi Shi'an just finished telling Huo Xin and Qi Jingtang what happened in the past two days with eloquence. He knew that Kong Yinhong would definitely contact his father, so he decided to act first.

Qi Jingtang said apologetically: "You explain to your mother clearly as soon as possible that the family situations of the two sides are different. Her words like that are too painful."

Qi Shi'an pretended to be embarrassed: "My mother didn't listen to my explanation, and asked directly if Duoyi was sincere, or if she wanted to take advantage of my feelings. Standing in front of the company today, I thought I was filming a TV series."

Huo Xin was in a hurry: "Why are these girls so unreliable!"

"If it's not like this, don't talk to your mother first, let her calm down." Qi Jingtang knew Kong Yinhong better, "I went to see her on the weekend, but she actually asked me to meet, but she didn't say what it was."

Huo Xin immediately said: "Are you going to meet? Both of you get a research paper, and then start an analysis and debate on the two of them? Who wins the debate and listens to whom?"

Qi Shi'an finally asked aloud: "Dad, Mom, do you agree?"

Qi Jingtang and Huo Xin immediately became quiet, as if they were not the ones who were going to make decisions for Qi Shi'an and Shen Duoyi just now.Qi Jingtang sighed unobtrusively, and said, "You have done a good job of confessing, and you have a strong backer like grandpa, what else can we do."

Huo Xin caressed her jade bracelet: "If you can't change it, just accept it. The key is that changing it will destroy your happiness. Then I won't be a stepmother."

Qi Shi'an said, "You are the stepmother."

"I'm an adjective!" Huo Xin glared at him, "Come here late at night to complain, and if something happens, you're going to ask me, the stepmother, to make the decision. It's annoying!"

At the end of summer, there were rarely two cool days. Shen Duoyi got up early to tidy up the room, and then prepared a table of breakfast.Millet porridge, soybean pickles, red date cake, and a pot of tea eggs.Elder Shen came out of the bedroom wearing a long sleeve, smelled the fragrance and found it.

"How did you make it so rich?"

"Get up early, I'm free." Shen Duoyi filled two bowls of porridge, and then peeled tea eggs for Mr. Shen to eat.He lowered his head, against a ray of morning light, exceptionally quiet.

"Grandpa, I'll be 28 in a few days." Shen Duoyi handed the smooth egg to Old Shen's plate.He raised his head, his expression seemed to be the same as usual chatting, but it seemed that he had made great determination.

"Grandpa, I'm going to be one year older again, you must be urging me to get married or something." Shen Duoyi looked at Elder Shen, "I may disappoint you, I have grown up so much, I have never touched any girl heart, getting married is even more difficult.”

Mr. Shen was stunned, and took a long while to pick up the tea egg and took a bite: "If you don't have it, you don't have it, that's what I said, I don't really want to force you. Living life is a matter of a lifetime, how can you be sloppy, aren't you and I? good."

Shen Duoyi nodded, picked up the bowl and took a big mouthful of porridge: "Thank you, Grandpa."

He can only take one step at a time, and he can only take one step at a time, but he is happy for this step he has taken.After breakfast, he took a shower, changed into white clothes and trousers, and put on a pair of white sneakers.

Old Shen struggled to turn his head on the reclining chair: "My dear grandson, you're 28, why are you dressed like [-]?"

"Go play, don't pretend to be tender." Shen Duoyi replied with a smile, and then packed his backpack, "I'm going out for a while, call me if you have anything to do."

He drove to Yamenting's apartment, thinking that Qi Shi'an would sleep two more hours on the New Year's Eve, and he would be able to deliver a wake-up call. Unexpectedly, after opening the door with the key and entering, Qi Shi'an was already sitting on the sofa drinking coffee.

The most frustrating thing is that Zhang Yiming and You Si are sitting on the chair opposite the sofa drinking coffee together, with French fries on the carpet and their buttocks sticking out playing with cars.

Zhang Yiming immediately stood up energetically: "Group leader Shen came by coincidence, the key is that he still has the key to Mr. Qi's apartment, which makes me daydream."

Potato fries sat on the carpet and learned to speak: "Brother Duoyi came by coincidence..."

Shen Duoyi's face turned red and white, his door opened, even if there were thousands of troops in the room, he couldn't escape, so he closed the door graciously, and put on the owner's slippers of the same style as Qi Shi'an.

Qi Shi'an curled up one long leg and sat on the sofa slightly sideways. He patted the seat next to him and said, "Come here, sit here."

Shen Duoyi walked over and sat down half a step away, but Qi Shi'an grabbed his butt just as he touched the sofa.Qi Shi'an looked him up and down: "No wonder the fries are called brother, why are you dressed so small and fresh, it makes me look old."

"I didn't know you were meeting today." Shen Duoyi looked up at Zhang Yiming, but he didn't dare to look at You Si.That night You Si confided the secret in his heart to her, but now he is so ambiguous with Qi Shi'an, it's a little outrageous.

"French fries, I allow you to go to the kitchen to drink some yogurt." You Si still smiled as usual, and after the fries ran away, she said to Shen Duoyi, "Team leader Shen, we all know that Shi An has been forced to question by Zhang Yiming Out."

Zhang Yiming said: "It's not me who forced me to ask, he was so proud that he said everything, such as meeting ten years ago, reuniting ten years later, winking at meetings, chatting while eating, everything. "

Shen Duoyi turned his head and stared at Qi Shi'an: "Just burn the buns."

Qi Shi'an said: "The two of them came here early in the morning to gossip, and I'll satisfy them. You're going to introduce me to your friends anyway."

The time of this group of people is very precious. After finishing their friend updates in the last second, they will start talking about the foreign exchange market in the next second.You Si went to the kitchen to watch the children, and was surprised to find that French fries drank up a row of yogurt on their own initiative.

Shen Duoyi went to help clean up, and the fries took the opportunity to run to the corridor to continue playing with cars.After everything was cleaned up, You Si put the remaining two boxes of yogurt into the straws and handed Shen Duoyi a box.

The two of them walked to the side hall, and Shen Duoyi spoke first: "Miss You, I'm sorry."

You Si shook her head: "Didn't I say that he couldn't like me that night, because I knew he liked boys a long time ago." Seeing that Shen Duoyi was a little surprised, she nodded again, "He should tell you, right? When he was in junior high school."

Shen Duoyi suddenly realized: "He said it."

"So, I knew it at that time. But he is also a jerk. He didn't care about his first love at that time, so I didn't know it when I found out." You Si finished drinking the yogurt, "Shen Group Long, I am very glad that he is with you, because you are really outstanding, besides being excellent, you are also very kind, French fries like you very much."

There was a sound of footsteps, and French fries came rushing forward: "Who called me?"

Shen Duoyi deliberately said: "I finished your yogurt."

The fries are extra generous: "It's okay, uncle bought me a lot."

At eight or nine o'clock, the weather became more and more sunny, Zhang Yiming and You Si took French fries to the playground, only Qi Shi'an and Shen Duoyi were left at home.Qi Shi'an kept looking at his watch, as if there was something important, Shen Duoyi couldn't help asking: "Do you have something to do? Or do you have an appointment?"

Qi Shi'an said: "No, my mom has made an appointment with my dad."

Shen Duoyi immediately became nervous: "Can uncle speak better than auntie?"

Qi Jingtang couldn't say no to Kong Yinhong, so he didn't go.

The tea house facing the street is ancient and fragrant, and Kong Yinhong is still wearing a professional suit, looking serious and shrewd.She went upstairs on her high heels, and immediately saw Huo Xin sitting by the window.

Huo Xin was wearing a modified cheongsam, with her hair tied up, and she looked seven or eight points more virtuous than usual.The clothes were too plain, so he replaced the jade bracelet on his wrist with a twisted gold bracelet.

Two middle-aged women with very different styles sat facing each other, and neither of them looked down on the other.

"Why are you here, where is Jingtang?"

"They're all mothers, so it's more appropriate for us to talk."

Kong Yinhong directly denied: "It's different, I'm kissing."

Huo Xin was more straightforward: "My dear, you are still embarrassing the child so much, I can't bear to see what happens next."

"If you don't see it, just hold back, don't pretend to be a good person." Kong Yinhong looked indifferent, picked up the tea and drank half a cup.Huo Xin picked up the teapot and poured it on her again, which gradually melted the ice on her brow.

"When Shi'an was in junior high school, he had an affair with a boy in his class, that's when he confirmed his sexual orientation." Huo Xin stopped arguing, "He's 28 or [-] now, and it took more than ten years to decide on a crush. Yes, do you think he's not serious?"

Kong Yinhong said: "He is serious, but others may not be serious."

Huo Xin gave her a white look: "Are you ashamed to say that teaching people in the street is the quality of your professors?" She said without a pause, "Duoyi lost her parents when she was seven years old, and has been dependent on his grandfather for so many years. The old man is already in his eighties, and he is not in good health. How do you tell him to tell the family? Don’t say it’s 'hateful', but if you say that the old man got sick from anger, you compensate his only family member?"

Kong Yinhong was stunned and almost knocked over the teacup in front of him: "I don't know...that child didn't say anything."

"He wanted to say it, but you won't listen to the explanation." Huo Xin leaned on the armrest of the sofa, looking like a young lady, "Actually, so what if you can't accept it, let the two children be separated? Shi'an will be single for the rest of his life? You If you are divorced and find another one, why should my son be single?"

Kong Yinhong emphasized angrily: "He is my son, pay attention to your wording."

Huo Xin couldn't bear to say, "He's your son, that's right. Every year, he rushes to celebrate your birthday and show you a cold face. If you find someone you like, you have to separate him."

"To be honest, I really envy you, really." Huo Xin looked out of the window, "Jingtang is such a good person, I let you meet first. Shi'an is such a good child, and you were born. Not reconciled."

This time it was Kong Yinhong who poured the tea. She looked at the spout of the teapot and said, "Jingtang is more suitable for you, and Shi'an is happier with you. You are doing better than me."

Huo Xin turned her face and said, "When I first met Shi An, how old was he? He likes to read books, speaks very well, and is the smartest kid I've ever seen. I was very lucky at the time, and felt that I didn't have to worry about it. He has learned, otherwise if he is worthless, others will say that my stepmother doesn't care about children."

"But I don't care about my children, because I don't ask them to be successful at all. I have only one request for Shi'an, and that is to let him live happily."

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't get into a prestigious school or succeeds in his career. I never ask him to do that. There are decades in his life, and it goes by in a blink of an eye. I just want him to be happy every day."

Kong Yinhong's eyes flickered, and he pursed his lips.She has been busy with her career and research for most of her life, and she also knows that her children are equally outstanding.But that's all, that's all she pursued, and she never thought of anything else.

Huo Xin's nose was sore: "It's hard for me to accept him and the thoughtful thing, but after thinking about it for a few nights, I finally realized it. What right do I have to not accept it? Parents love themselves, they will follow their own ideas To oppose and obstruct. But if parents love their children, they will only consider which outcome, and the children will get the greatest happiness."

Kong Yinhong raised her hand to cover her eyes, she finally cried.

Huo Xin also cried, and said with a smile while crying, "I'm depressed because you're still crying. I've ordered several wedding dresses, and I probably won't have a chance to wear them. I'll give you one?"

Kong Yinhong burst into tears and smiled: "Then I'll take this pot of tea."

Qi Shi'an and Shen Duoyi were still nestled on the sofa, staring at the real-time transaction data in a daze, neither of them looked into it.Just when the screen was about to go black, the caller ID woke them up at the same time.

The name "Kong Yinhong" flashed, and Shen Duoyi was a little apprehensive.

Qi Shi'an pressed to answer: "Mom?"

"It's me." Kong Yinhong's voice was a little hoarse, "Can you give me your friend's contact information."

Qi Shi'an didn't react: "My friend?"

Kong Yinhong said, "Suspicious."

Qi Shi'an was a little surprised: "He's right next to me."

He put the phone to Shen Duoyi's ear, and surrounded him from the side by the way.Shen Duoyi's heart was pounding, and she said anxiously: "Auntie, I'm Shen Duoyi, are you looking for me?"

There was a moment of silence, and then a "sorry" came.

"It was because I didn't understand the situation that day, so don't take it to heart." Kong Yinhong said in a low voice, "I invite you to have dinner with Shi'an another day, and let's have a good chat."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Duoyi was in a daze. Before he could recover, Qi Shi'an gagged and kissed him.Reaching out to hug each other instinctively, they gave birth to great joy with disbelief.

"I can't breathe..."

The long and deep kiss ended in Shen Duoyi's begging for mercy, Qi Shi'an sighed and asked, "Are you happy?"

Shen Duoyi nodded: "Happy." He still felt that it was not enough after answering, so he held Qi Shi'an's face and emphasized it again loudly, "Happy!"

The long-worried problem was easily solved, and the stone in my heart finally fell.Shen Duoyi stood up and tidied up his clothes, then put on his backpack again.Qi Shi'an looked up at him, and said with a smile: "Little friend, do you want to travel?"

Shen Duoyi stretched out his hand to pull him: "I was supposed to take you to meet two people, change your shoes quickly."

Qi Shi'an took his wallet and went out, and also put on casual clothes to match, trying to return with Shen Duoyi.The black crowd was parked on the street outside the apartment, Shen Duoyi walked briskly, humming to the music for the first time on the road.

More than an hour later, after leaving the city, Qi Shi'an finally sensed that something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask, "Where is your date?"

Shen Duoyi said: "It will be there soon."

Half an hour later, Qi Shi'an saw the gate of the cemetery, and he finally realized who Shen Duoyi asked him to meet, and finally understood why Shen Duoyi was wearing white.

The car turned off, and Shen Duoyi said happily: "Mr. Qi, I brought you to meet my parents. You have to behave well and let me have some face."

Qi Shi'an was in a daze, unable to tell what it was like.

"But there's nothing you can do if you behave abnormally." Shen Duoyi muttered again, "Anyway, I've identified you, and no one can change it."
