Drifting

When Cheng Sidu received a call from his mother saying that he would come to see him, he was hanging on Tan Qing and begging him to fry a heart-shaped poached egg for him.A phone call made him tremble, and he got off Tan Qing's back honestly and walked outside, "Mom, I really don't need it, I don't need anything here. My roommate, my roommate is also very nice, and he even cooks for me. .No, there is really nothing interesting here. What is there to see in the West Lake? Didn’t you and my dad come to see it a long time ago? Don’t come, really don’t come.”

Mother Cheng has made up her mind and must come.

Cheng Sidu had no choice but to immediately pack up his things and move back to the dormitory, pretending to live in the dormitory obediently.

Cheng Sidu glanced at Tan Qing when he was arranging his clothes, and said in a whisper: "Tan Qing, you know about my mother. We can't let her know now, so why not wait another two years? We will go to get the certificate in two years."

Tan Qing laughed: "You even planned to marry me? Don't you ask me if I agree?"

"Agree! You must agree! If you don't agree, I will force you to marry me!"

After laughing for a while, Cheng Sidu returned to the dormitory with his suitcase.

When Cheng's mother came, she also brought a lot of souvenirs, which she enthusiastically distributed to Sidu's roommates, and inquired about his situation on the sidelines. Fortunately, Sidu got in touch with them and talked about regular work and rest, and excellent grades.

Mother Cheng went to the bathroom and asked, "Sidu, where do you put your dirty clothes? Mom will wash them for you."

Cheng Sidu broke out in a cold sweat immediately, there were no dirty clothes, he was negligent!

But he reacted quickly, and said with a smile, "Mom, I washed all the dirty clothes last night. After two days, the club is busy with activities and I am in a hurry to wear them. I will dry and iron them with the dryer downstairs."

Cheng's mother glanced at him in relief: "Yes, I've grown up."

At noon, the mother and son went to the cafeteria for dinner, Cheng's mother insisted on going to the supermarket, bought a carton of milk and asked Sidu to take it back.

"Mom, what time do you get the car back?"

"Why, are you driving me away?" Cheng's mother glared at him, "Three o'clock in the afternoon."

"Mom, it's almost time. Let me accompany you to the train station, in case you miss the time."

"Okay, hey, wait, my charging cable is left in your dormitory. I'll go get it."

Back in the dormitory, Mother Cheng was rolling up her charger. She glanced at the multi-hole power strip attached to the wall, but found that the power strip was not turned on.She touched it and got dust on her hands.

Mother Cheng's face was serious, and she had a bad feeling.

When Sidu sent her mother to the station, she drove her back.

He didn't know that when he got on the car for the return trip, his mother took a taxi and followed him.

He called Tan Qing in the car, "I'll be back in a while, um, what's for dinner? Let's go to the supermarket, shall we? We've finished all the yogurt."

After hanging up the phone, he hummed happily.

He couldn't help thinking that he would convince his mother.Tan Qing is so kind and treats him so well, why doesn't she like it?If you don't agree with him every day, you will pester your mother for a day. Mom loves him and will always soften her heart.

Although despicable, but helpless.

Two days later, Tan Qing suddenly called to say that he was going on a business trip for training.

"Why does the training take so long?" Sidu was very unhappy.

"Good boy. Lock the doors and windows at night, and don't drink ice water in the morning. I still have something to do here."

"Tan Qing, is your phone broken? The voice is so soft. Or are you feeling unwell?"

"No. I'll hang up first."

When Tan Qing came back, her face was bruised and swollen, which shocked Sidu a lot.Tan softly coaxed Cheng Sidu, who was shedding tears and rubbing iodine on him, "Who knew, the truck that was carrying the goods suddenly rushed towards me from above. I didn't pay attention at the time. Fortunately, it was not serious, nor was it serious. That hurts."

Tan Qing also took Sidu to a high-end restaurant that he would not usually go to for dinner that night.

At night, Sidu got into the bed to warm the bed, and shyly called Tan Qing in.

"Is it warm? Why is your neck so cold?" Sidu hugged him.

I haven't seen him for more than ten days, and he wants to kill him.

Tan Qing closed her eyes: "I'm sleepy."

"Oh, then you sleep."

Tan Qing woke up in the middle of the night, saw Sidu's eyes opened by the moonlight, frowned and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Sidu said in a low voice: "Tan Qing, I was a little scared that the upstairs recruited thieves yesterday. But I will guard you, so you can sleep well. If there is any movement, I will call the police immediately."

Tan Qing looked at his phone, it was two o'clock in the morning.

With complicated feelings in his heart, he rubbed Sidu's hair, "It's okay, you sleep. I've had enough sleep, I'll watch for a while."

"We will change to a better house in the future. The floor should be higher, and an elevator should be provided. I don't like climbing stairs."

"Ah."

Tan Qing always felt a little dazed after hearing what Sidu said.

Later, Sidu always remembered that day.

They talked a lot under the warm blanket, wanting to buy a house, get married, and travel.

They were in their 20s, too young, too beautiful, and too naive.

When the new year was approaching, Sidu procrastinated and refused to go home.

"I'm going home, Tan Qing, are you going home too?"

Tan Qing said, "Of course."

"I didn't hear that you called your parents. Are you not on good terms?"

Sidu looked at him with clear eyes, like a small red-mouthed animal whose fluff has not faded.

Tan Qing's expression was complicated, she just lowered her eyebrows slightly, and smiled carelessly: "It's so-so."

Sidu dragged his suitcase home to celebrate the New Year.

Tan Qing stayed in this apartment.

During the Chinese New Year, Sidu secretly went to the balcony to call him, avoiding the eyes and ears of his family: "Tan Qing, Happy New Year! Our family's New Year's Eve dinner this year is not bad. There are my favorite pork stewed vermicelli and sauced beef. But there is no Steamed pork with rice flour, my mother said that there are enough meat dishes. What delicious food do you eat at night? I miss you so much. I take my relatives and children to play every day at home. They are too skinny. I want to come back. Tan Qing, do you want me?"

Tan lightly took a mouthful of egg fried rice, "Well, I miss you."

Cheng Sidu laughed on the other end of the phone.

"Can you make a video call?"

"The signal here is very poor."

"Oh." Cheng Sidu said again, "I miss you very much. Tan Qing, after twelve o'clock is the new year, next year you have to be so kind to me, do you hear me?"

"Ah."

At the beginning of the year, before Sidu came back, Tan Qing went to Leifeng Pagoda by himself.

He asked for a signature for the first time, and got a very bad signature.

He walked down the path to the foot of the mountain, and when he returned to the human world from the myth, he felt that he had thought clearly.

When Sidu dragged his suitcase back to the small apartment, a lot of things were inexplicably missing in the small apartment, as if it had been tidied up.

Tan Qingduan brought out a steamed meat with flour, which was his favorite, with a salty, glutinous and oily aroma.

"Thank you boyfriend!" Sidu called out affectionately.

When Sidu was stuffing the second piece of steamed pork into his mouth, he heard Tan Qing who was sitting opposite said: "Cheng Sidu, let's break up."

Before Sidu could react, he said again: "The apartment has also been withdrawn, it's just right for you to move out today, and you don't have to pack so many things."

Sidu vomited the tamales into the trash can almost retching, and said pitifully and blankly: "Tan Qing, what are you talking about?"

Why can't I understand?Who is breaking up with whom?Who wants to move out?

Tan Qing put the key on the table and stood up: "I'll give you the key, and the landlord will come to pick it up in two days. Take care."

"Tan Qing, what the hell are you talking about! Can you say something I can understand? It's only been a few days? Are you empathizing with someone else!" Cheng Sidu was furious.

Tan Qing said lightly: "Okay, Cheng Sidu. I want to break up."

"What am I doing wrong? You tell me, I can change it. Don't tell me that kind of thing!"

Tan Qing said it again: "Cheng Sidu, let's break up. I don't want to love you anymore."

He thought about it many times afterwards.

He once had a chance to fight, and Cheng Sidu would be his flag, but he flinched.

He felt that all good relationships should not be so hard.

Love is beautiful, but he acknowledges its fragility, fickleness, and impermanence.

It's like wanting to eat fruit candy in a convenience store when he was a child. His parents clearly agreed, but they slapped his palm and said why he was so greedy.

Okay, then he doesn't want to ask for it anymore, or rather, he dare not ask for it anymore.
