after scraping a customer's car

Nie Huai'an's wedding was scheduled for May [-] Labor Day, and the invitation was sent to Shen's villa, and a copy was also sent to Shen Ci.

Shen Ci obviously didn't intend to open the invitation, let alone attend the wedding again.

But his grandfather was very happy, as if his grandson was getting married, no wonder, Nie Huai'an grew up in front of Mr. Shen.

That's why Shen Ci and Nie Huai'an were childhood sweethearts and were so close that Mr. Shen and others didn't suspect anything when they dated.

"Aci, look at your brother Huai'an, he has been a good and obedient boy since he was a child." Mr. Shen looked at the invitation with his reading glasses on. "When his parents asked him to get married, he immediately agreed."

Shen Ci didn't know how to respond, so he just twitched the corner of his mouth lightly and said, "Yes, he is amazing, I can't do it."

Mr. Shen clicked his tongue, looked at him, and gave orders with a bit of blame, "You should learn from Huai'an!"

Shen Ci was a little contemptuous, but he didn't show it. He just smiled with the corners of his mouth bent, and didn't talk to him.

Old Man Shen took a sip of tea from his teacup and said, "By the way, your Uncle Nie said that you will be Huai'an's best man on that day."

When the words fell to the ground, Shen Ci's expression changed from astonishment to surprise to dejection. The expression on his face changed again and again. After all the ups and downs settled down, he condensed into a bitter smile, "Oh, best man."

Old Master Shen didn't notice his emotion, and said: "That's right, you and Huai'an grew up together and are called brothers. Now that your elder brother is getting married, it is reasonable and reasonable for you to be the best man."

There was a smile on the corner of Shen Ci's mouth, but the complexity and ridicule in his eyes, only he could understand.

Shen Ci was silent for a moment, "Grandpa, I won't attend the wedding."

"Not participating?" Old Master Shen frowned at him, "Why?"

Shen Ci frowned, pursed his lips, seemed to be thinking, and said after a while: "I don't want to participate."

Old Man Shen looked at him suspiciously, his eyes full of confusion, "A Ci, are you having trouble with Huai'an?"

Although he knew about Shen Ci's sexual orientation, Mr. Shen didn't think much about it. In his old man's perception, Shen Ci and Nie Hua'an were as close as brothers.

Shen Ci scratched his hair, trying to calm himself down, he hesitated and said, "I don't want to participate anyway."

Hearing his perfunctory manner, Mr. Shen was a little displeased and said, "What's the matter with you?"

"Grandpa, I..." Shen Ci's heart was on fire, and he was upset for a while, "It's nothing, so I don't want to participate."

Mr. Shen was upset, and he seemed to be giving orders, "Don't make me angry, you must participate on that day!"

Shen Ci was made even worse by his grandfather, and he didn't want to say anything, so he stood up and prepared to leave.

"A Ci!" Old Master Shen put down the invitation in his hand, a little annoyed, "Is there something you are hiding from Grandpa?"

Shen Ci paused, opened his mouth, but made no sound.

Old Man Shen stared at him, as if he suddenly thought of something, suspiciously guessed the relationship between Shen Ci and Nie Huai'an.

After a long silence, Mr. Shen said, "Ah Ci, tell grandpa the truth..." He narrowed his eyes, pretending to ask casually, "Is there any relationship between you and Huai'an that surpasses brothers?"

Shen Ci's nerve snapped, he pursed his lips, lowered his eyes slightly, "Grandpa was joking, why do you think of us so much..."

"I don't want to think of you that way either," said Mr. Shen, and suddenly slapped the coffee table, "Since you came back to China, no, it's since you got engaged in Huai'an, and you've always been wrong, and you still confessed to me that you like men, Tell me, did you have anything to do with him?"

This is really angry and sad, the old man's eyes were red, and he glared at Shen Ci angrily.

Shen Ci clenched his fist, can he tell the truth, no, he can't bear to hurt the old man in front of him again.

But if you don't tell the truth, what should he say?

At this moment, the cell phone in his pocket rang suddenly, telling Shen Ci to be grateful to the caller like a rescue.

He hurriedly took out his mobile phone, the caller was Song Yan, Shen Ci collected himself, "Grandpa, let me answer the call first." He hurried to go outside, and planned to run away.

"Pick me up at the house!" Mr. Shen ordered with a dark face.

"..." Shen Ci was left speechless by his grandfather, so he could only walk to the bedroom.

It turned out that Shen Ci mentioned to Song Yan two days ago that he wanted to drink freshly squeezed mango juice. Song Yan said he would make it, and the two made an appointment to meet this afternoon to make mango juice.

Shen Ci couldn't be in the mood to make mango juice at the moment, he simply said a few perfunctory words to Song Yan, and then hung up the phone.

His heart trembled twice, he was too flustered, Shen Ci was not very good at lying, but he knew the seriousness, no matter what, he must not tell his grandfather about his relationship with Nie Huai'an.

Time passed minute after minute, and when his grandfather's voice sounded outside the door, Shen Ci came back to his senses.

"Ah Ci, grandpa is coming in." Mr. Shen said as he opened the door and walked in.

Shen Ci frowned and called "Grandpa".

Mr. Shen closed the door smoothly, and looked at him with a serious expression, "You don't know... Are you someone you have a relationship with?"

"..." Shen Ci frowned, not quite understanding why his grandfather suddenly thought so again, he pursed his lips, and argued, "Grandpa, I didn't..."

"Then who have you been on the phone with for so long?" Mr. Shen said with a sigh, "You don't listen to what I tell you, not only don't you listen, you also hesitate to tell the truth to me!"

"Grandpa..." Standing there, Shen Ci felt uneasy, thinking about what would happen to his grandfather if he confessed his past relationship with Nie Huai'an.

Master Shen said: "Then tell me, who have you been on the phone for so long? Could it be that you have made...a friend in your circle? Also, why didn't you go to Huai'an's wedding?"

Speaking of this, Shen Ci can't afford to think too much. He is undoubtedly timid, especially after going through a few months of heartbroken love, experiencing a deadlock with his grandfather, and all kinds of uncomfortable feelings, he doesn't want to Try it for the second time, so, while thinking about it, Shen Ci faltered according to his grandfather's words: "Yes, hand it in, I was on the phone with him just now."

When Old Man Shen heard this, he stared at him immediately, either unhappy or in a daze, with complicated emotions at the same time. After a moment of silence, he asked, "What does the other party do?"

"...delivering food, no, I'm the cook now." Shen Ci was so guilty that he didn't dare to meet his grandfather's eyes.

"Cook?" Old Master Shen frowned, "What cook? Cook?"

"...Well, the cook." Shen Ci regretted telling this lie for a while.

Mr. Shen glanced at him suspiciously, "So it's a food delivery?"

"Well," Shen Ci didn't want to continue the topic, "Grandpa, you're tired from standing like this, let's go out, and I'll make you a cup of hot tea."

"Is it time to drink tea?" Mr. Shen was rather displeased, "Answer my question honestly." He said and went to sit on the sofa, looking at Shen Ci with a sullen face, "I remembered something Thing, years ago, the one at your house was the young man who looked very energetic, you said he delivered food, was it him?"

Shen Ci's heart skipped a beat, and said softly, "...it's him."

Old Man Shen suddenly stood up, opened his mouth to say something, but didn't say anything, frowned for a while, and then asked, "Is...is there something wrong with his legs and feet?"

Shen Ci understood his grandfather's doubts, and told the truth: "Grandpa, his leg was injured, the knee." For some reason, he added, "I consulted authoritative experts, and said that his knee is It can be changed, and walking will return to normal after recovery.”

Mr. Shen didn't know what mood he was in, he didn't have much expression on his face, but he was a little serious, and he asked again: "You and him..." After saying this, the old man was obviously upset, snorted, and then changed the subject, "Now say Tell me, why don't you go to Huai'an's wedding?"

"..." Shen Ci was a little speechless. His grandfather always treated him like a child, and he had to break the casserole and ask the end of everything. He paused, and then simply continued, "Grandpa, it was me and him that day... On an important day, I can't leave my people behind and go to the wedding, right? Think about it, is this the reason? Besides, Bobo Nie's family has a big business, so is there still a shortage of a best man?"

Mr. Shen's complexion was not good, he looked at the corners of his mouth trembling, his legs seemed to be limp, he sat down on the sofa, and whispered in great disappointment, "You...you didn't learn from your good ones, but you learned from your second uncle , you just torment me like this." Then he said, "You can do whatever you want, anyway, you won't listen to what I say, you are not sober now, you have completely depraved you!"

Shen Ci was rendered speechless by these words, and stared blankly at his grandfather. Seeing him disappointed and annoyed, he hurried forward, "Grandpa... I'm sorry, don't be angry..."

Mr. Shen closed his eyes, his chest heaved a few times, as if he was trying his best to restrain himself, and he said regretfully after a while: "On May [-]st... you can't get a certificate in China, so you just find two witnesses to hold the ceremony. Wedding, and then a small banquet?"

Shen Ci, "..."

"Speak, why, are you dumb?" Old Master Shen had a cold face.

Shen Ci no longer knew how to continue this lie, and completely deviated from the original track. He didn't expect his grandfather to think so, and he was a little at a loss for a while.

"I'm asking you something!" Mr. Shen's tone was cold and hard. Seeing Shen Ci's bewildered look, his energy came up again. With his personality of being a special soldier, his eyes were burning like torches, showing an aggressive look. He opened his fingers again and again, he was not willing to give Shen Ci a slap, but suppressed his anger and said, "Bring him to see me tomorrow!" Then he turned and left.

"Grandpa!" Shen Ci chased after him, and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, it's not what you think... Well, he is busy and has no time."

Old Man Shen didn't speak, he was half angry, half helpless looking at Shen Ci, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind. At a certain moment, the old man suddenly laughed, "A Ci, don't worry, Grandpa won't embarrass him. Tomorrow If you don't have time, then the day after tomorrow, grandpa has plenty of time to wait for him..."

Shen Ci wanted to open his mouth, but Mr. Shen stopped him, "If you don't want to be angry with me anymore, let's call it a day."

That night, when Song Yan came to Shen Ci's house to make mango juice and taught him how to make two dishes, Shen Ci told Song Yan about the dispute with his grandfather today.

After listening, Song Yan didn't seem to understand. He asked: "Your grandfather misunderstood, we two... get married on May [-]st?"

Shen Ci nodded.

Song Yan, "..."

"My grandfather also said that he wants to see you." Shen Ci was very calm at the moment.

Song Yan, "..."
