Autumn in Beijing this year came very early. Only after October, the maple leaves in Honolulu are already red, and the ginkgo tree avenue in Sifang Lane has also turned into a gorgeous golden yellow.

Just in time for the holiday, the picturesque Sifang Lane is full of tourists, and there is an endless stream of people who come here to take pictures and enjoy it.

Therefore, the traffic situation in Sifang Lane is not so friendly to motor vehicles. Simply put, it is a trap, where anyone who comes and who has to be stuck here, unable to advance or retreat.

[You can also enjoy the scenery on Ginkgo Avenue, I almost fell asleep waiting. ] Hearing that Li Mo was stuck on Ginkgo Avenue, Feng Li's tone was full of envy.He was on a business trip to Gwangju today to record the theme song for a movie, but the equipment suddenly broke down. The people in the recording studio are rushing to repair it with the engineers of the equipment manufacturer, and they don't know when it will be repaired.

Seeing Feng Li's message, Li Mo raised the corners of his lips slightly, and was about to reply when Li Yan's phone popped up.

When he answered the phone, a golden ginkgo leaf fluttered down on the windshield in front of the car.

Looking at the perfectly symmetrical two-lobed ginkgo leaf, Li Mo hesitated for half a second, lowered the car window, picked it up, took a photo, and sent it to Feng Li, [There is nothing in Jingbei, let’s talk about giving an autumn leaf. 】

【it's beautiful! ! ! 】Feng Xiaotian used three exclamation marks to perfectly interpret his recognition of the beauty of this ginkgo leaf and the infinite resentment in the boring waiting.

Li Mo casually put the leaf into the armrest box in the car.Since someone regrets not seeing Ginkgo Avenue, when picking up the plane at night, you can bring him this autumn leaf as a gift.

He looked at the motionless convoy ahead, and leisurely continued to chat with Feng Li via voice message, 【If you have nothing to do, you can miss me】

[I thank you! 】

Li Mo smiled lightly and leaned closer to the microphone, 【You're welcome, you are welcome to think of me unscrupulously anytime and anywhere when it is inappropriate, this is the benefit of being a boyfriend】

There was no movement from Feng Li for a long time, and finally slowly sent over an emoji of a cat bowing its head and covering its face.

[I will pick you up at the airport at night, remember to send me a message before take off. 】Li Mo accepts it when he sees it is good, and if he continues, the hair may be blown up there.

After being stuck in the alley for more than half an hour, Li Mo's car moved like a snail to the entrance of a courtyard house in the alley.

No. 52, Sifang Lane, Li's old house, the current owners Li Changfeng and Shen Lan, that is, the parents of Li Mo and Li Yan.

After the age of 12, Li Mo basically never lived here.

Li Changfeng and Shen Lan are professors of geology. They devote themselves to their work and stay at scientific observation stations in the wild for many years.

When Li Yan bought his own house and moved out of the old house, he was worried that the nanny would not take good care of him, so he simply brought his younger brother with him.Until he went abroad to study, every time he went back to China for vacation, Li Mo would habitually live with Li Yan.After all, no matter how busy Li Yan was at work, he would still find time to go home during his holidays. The professor and his wife had the task of subject above everything else, and they would never return to the city except for the pitifully few days off every year.

Today is Li's father's birthday, and it happens that Professor Li and his wife have a rare change of vacation.Hearing the news that the two had returned to the north of Beijing, Li Mo and Li Yan hurriedly made an appointment to come over to say hello, taking the opportunity of Professor Li's birthday, the family of four had a reunion dinner.

Li Mo walked in with the supplements and gifts he bought for his parents. Although the huge courtyard was beautifully repaired, it seemed empty because of the lack of popularity.

Shen Lan and the nanny were sitting under the vines in the yard choosing vegetables.

Time has never defeated a beauty.

Professor Shen's face, which was very similar to Li Yan's, did not leave too many traces of time.Probably due to the hard work in the field, she does not have the "happy fat" of most of her peers, and still maintains a slender figure. The 54-year-old is still in his thirties.

"Mom!" Li Mo put down the things at hand, leaned over and hugged Shen Lan, years of separation and distance made his movements restrained and cautious.

"

It's okay, not thin. " Shen Lan looked at her son's handsome face, smiled and pointed to the main room behind her, signaling Li Mo to lighten her voice. Professor Li was lying in the room listening to Peking Opera and taking a nap. Listening to the lyrics and music, it should be the lock bag.

Li Mo nodded, and obediently stood by the side to help Shen Lan choose beans.Li Yan likes to eat braised eggplants, and Li Mo likes to eat pork ribs with beans, so beans and eggplants are the protagonists that will never be missing in Li's family banquet.

"Where's Li Yan?"

"Just called me at the door. She has already finished shooting at the magazine, and she will be there within an hour."

During the chat between the two, Xue Xiangling in the room happened to sing [I saw a sedan chair across the curtain, it must be a newlywed crossing the magpie bridge. 】

As if remembering something, Professor Shen raised his eyes and asked Li Mo, "Your sister and that Xiao are really separated?"

The couple are always busy with work and spend too little time with their children, so they missed their children's growth period in a blink of an eye.Now that the children have grown up, it is very polite to talk to them, and it is difficult to talk deeply about what is in their hearts.Professor Shen had to try every means to seize the opportunity to communicate with the children.

"Mom, you have to ask my sister about this, I really don't know." Li Mo stood upright, let alone he was really not sure, even if he was sure, he would not dare to betray Li Yan.

"That's okay, let's not talk about her, but about you. According to the life plan you told me at the beginning, you will be in love before the age of 25. Are you in your twenties now?"

Li Mo lowered the corners of his eyes uncomfortably, and broke off the bean in his hand, "I'm working hard."

"Are you really in love?" This kid, isn't he shy?After a brief moment of surprise, Shen Lan smiled in surprise.

His son has been extremely intelligent since he was a child, with eyes above his head.Everyone is worried about the age of the child's puppy love, but his son treats all the love letters he receives as language corrections, from typos to rhetorical grammar, he corrects them all again, completely puzzled.

Li Xue, who is also Shen Lan's best friend, Wei Yifeng's mother, and Li Mo's language teacher, almost fainted from laughter when she called Shen Lan with the pile of "correction questions".Fortunately, those little girls didn't know the fate of the love letters they wrote, otherwise they would have cried out their psychological shadows.

However, it may be a good thing not to fall in love early, but it is a bit worrying to live to the age of 20 without a "first love".Professor Shen and Professor Li even once worried that their son was aroanticasexual (non-romantic asexual).

"Well, his name is Feng Li." Li Mo originally planned to pick a time to talk to his parents about his and Feng Li's affairs in person, but now it happened to be the talk, so he simply took advantage of the situation to show his cards.As long as Mom is okay, it's fine.His family, Professor Li, listened to his wife in everything except for his research assignments.

"Feng Li? The name sounds nice." Shen Lan nodded, her movements were very elegant, "Why don't you bring it back today?"

Although Feng Li is very popular now, most of the fan circle members are still young people, obviously not yet well-known enough for Professor Shen to know.

"He's on a business trip." Li Mo paused, and there was a rare sense of uncertainty in his usually calm and confident tone, "Besides, I haven't discussed it with him yet."

"It's just a meal, and I won't let you bring him here..." Talking about marriage, Shen Lan suddenly stopped halfway, and stared at Li Mo, whose ears were red, as if studying rock formations.

From the looks of it, it seems that his son really intends to do so?

How long have they been talking, are they going to talk about marriage?

"Come with me." Shen Lan took off her apron, washed her hands, then turned around and led Li Mo into the study.

She rummaged through the bookshelf for a long time, finally pulled out a stack of papers, and sat down at the desk with a solemn expression.

Li Mo's eyelids twitched, and he quietly glanced at the stack of papers in Shen Lan's hand. The top one was actually a six-dimensional radar chart evaluation form!

The six dots are marked with words such as family background, occupation, age, character, etc., and a name is impressively written in the upper right corner, [Xiao Han]

Could this be Zhang's son-in-law evaluation form?

Li Mo looked at the star-shaped radar map with Xiao Han's name written on it, thinking dumbfoundedly.

沈兰

Put on the glasses, pick up the top two and put them aside to reveal a new blank six-dimensional radar map, then take out a pen from the pen holder, pick up the energy of academic research, and write squarely in the upper right corner Two words, [Feng Li]

Li Mo: ……………

His mother is going to be an adult, is this planning to file an evaluation form for each of the love partners of the siblings for future reference?

"How old is Feng Li?"

"...sixteen months younger than me."

The situation of his family at 'age', to be specific, are there any brothers and sisters?Parents, elders, what kind of occupation do you have? "

"He was an only child, born in London, and returned to China at the age of 14. His parents are both world-renowned wildlife photographers. In addition, he has a quarter of British blood. His grandmother was British, but died shortly after he was born. His grandfather was an overseas Chinese in the early years, and he was named 'Feng Li', which means 'the homeland is hard to leave'." When Feng Li's name was mentioned, Li Mo's eyes glowed with tenderness, which is Tibetan I can't hide my liking.

Seeing Li Mo's affectionate look obviously in the period of passionate love, Shen Lan was silent for two seconds, and then took a pen and circled the top of the column of 'family background', "What does this child do?"

"Singer. Also my partner in e-sports."

"It's from the entertainment circle again?" The smile on Shen Lan's face faded, and she drew a circle at the bottom of the career line.Li Mo's eyebrows twitched. Obviously, his mother's impression of the entertainment industry is not very good.

"How is his character? Tell me about his character and shortcomings."

"Sunshine, likes to think positively, never backs down in the face of setbacks, caring, strong, unyielding, weak concept of money, a little chubby, occasionally teases people, poor cooking skills." Obviously speaking of the other party However, Li Mo couldn't help showing a smile.

Shen Lan had never seen such an expression on her son's face before, the happiness in that smile was so full that it was about to overflow.She was stunned for a few seconds before she came back to her senses, ticked the middle and upper part of the personality column, and then pushed and slid down the glasses on the bridge of her nose with a serious face, "Does he or his family members have any dark history? Like writing songs Have you ever plagiarized? Is there a history of genetic diseases in the family? Are there any bad records in the files?"

"No." Li Mo shook his head firmly, never expecting that Professor Shen's daughter-in-law questionnaire actually included a background check.

"Show me a picture." Shen Lan's pen tip finally stopped on the appearance.

Holding the phone, Li Mo cleared his throat and reminded, "Mom, is there something missing from your evaluation form?"

There are a bunch of six categories and more than a dozen subcategories on this table, except for 'sex'.

Seriously re-examining the evaluation form in her hand item by item, Shen Lan looked up at her son in doubt, "What's missing?"

Li Mo handed over the mobile phone displaying Feng Li's profile page, looked at Shen Lan solemnly, "He is a man."

"What's wrong with the man?" What an era, you are still so feudal.Professor Shen rolled his eyes at his son, took the phone and looked through it.

Li Mo: ……………

Professor Shen flipped through Feng Li's photos and profile with relish, but Li Mo, who was standing in front of the table, was a little dazed.

He always thought that the issue of sexuality would be the biggest obstacle for him to confess his relationship. In order to convince Shen Lan and Li Changfeng, he imagined various possible reactions and prepared dozens of coping modes, but the result...was completely useless? ? ?

"Don't stand there stupidly, go and make a pot of tea for your dad, he's about to wake up." Shen Lan looked at the wall clock and said to Li Mo who was in a daze.Half an hour of nap time, the biological clock that Professor Li has developed over the years has always been exactly the same.

"En." Li Mo nodded as if waking up from a dream, then turned and went out to ask the nanny for a teapot.

Shen Lan's eyes fell from her son's back to the boy on the phone screen, and she sighed softly. Seeing Li Mo's appearance just now, she was really serious about this relationship.

She shook her head, picked up a pen, and drew a circle on the last appearance on the evaluation form.

He and Lao Li owe

The children's is too much and can never be made up.Compared with passing on the family line, making the son happy is the most important thing.

More than a year later, Li Mo brought Feng Li back to Li's old house for the first time.

At the end of autumn, on the Ginkgo Avenue covered with yellow leaves in Sifang Lane, Feng Li asked Li Mo nervously seventeen times, is his hair messy?

"Not chaotic, very handsome." Li Mo repeated the dialogue like a repeater while driving to comfort Feng Li.

The two were stunned when they pushed open the courtyard door with a lot of supplements and gifts. What floated in the courtyard was not the Beijing opera that Professor Li often listened to, but the theme song of the Ninth Battlefield "gloria" sung by Feng Li.

What's the situation, what about the high-cold and rigorous academic style that was agreed upon?Uncles and aunts still play games?Feng Li raised his eyes to look at Li Mo, this person is a little bit broken!

Li Mo: ……………

Under the vines, Li Changfeng and Shen Lan were peeling edamame, and the nanny was washing potatoes.Probably because the weather was a bit cold, there was a heater next to the feet of the three of them.

"Dad, Mom, this is Feng Li." Li Mo supported Feng Li's waist and gently pushed him in front of the professor and his wife.

Feng Li bowed his head to salute the two, his voice was very restrained, "Hello Uncle, Auntie."

Shen Lan smiled and said, "It's cold outside, you and Xiao Mo go sit in the room first, and his father and I will come in after washing our hands."

"Mom, didn't you stew beans today?" Li Mo led Feng Li into the main room, and looked at the table where the vegetables were prepared, edamame, potatoes, loofah, tomatoes, but his favorite beans were not there.

"I always eat beans, aren't you tired of eating them?" Shen Lan cast a reproachful glance at her son, "I saw that Xiaoli No. [-] said in the interview that he likes to eat braised pork, roasted beef with potatoes and scrambled eggs with loofah. Daddy shows off."

Li Mo: ...

Feng Li blinked in embarrassment, what?Aunt Shen watched his sideshow interview on Tudou Channel?

After Professor Shen and Professor Li entered the room and took off their thick home coats and hung them on the hangers, Li Mo discovered that his parents' home clothes were actually wearing the T-shirts of the Tiandi team.

Li Mo's eyebrows twitched slightly, "Mom, are you and my dad?"

"Isn't it good-looking?" Shen Lan straightened her shoulders.

This year, she and Lao Li have listened to all Feng Li's songs, and followed up on all the variety shows that Feng Li has appeared on.At first, they just wanted to know more about the kind of person their son liked, and later, the more they looked at the child, the more pleasing they were.In the past two years, Feng Li and Li Mo have been on a lot of variety shows, following Feng Li's shows, by the way, the professor and his wife feel that they seem to understand their son better.Under the popularization of science by the young people in the team, the professor and his wife even went to watch the live broadcast of the e-sports competition.

"...beautiful." Li Mo nodded with a smile on his face.

Feng Li hurriedly nodded, "Looks good, Li Mo and I also have this T-shirt, we often wear it."

"Yes, you two have played seven games in that suit." Shen Lan smiled.

"Did you watch the match with uncle?" Feng Li asked in surprise.

"Well, we watched both of your games in London with a total of 56 minutes and 27 seconds." Professor Li said calmly, his expression didn't seem to say that he watched an e-sports game, but more like saying I watched an international paper presentation by myself.

Li Mo Fu forehead, what's the situation, middle-aged and elderly e-sports fans?

So, this evening, when two geology professors met with two e-sports players, the topic started happily from the T-shirts around the team, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

"Your parents are so cute. They even remember clearly the albums and singles I have released, and they even make schedules for watching videos." On the way back, Feng Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat, talked to Li Mo Niannian, the professor and his wife are probably the first ones to watch the video and make a meticulous schedule.

"It seems that middle-aged and elderly fans are also crazy about star chasing." Li Mo shook his head. In just one night, he felt that his family status had dropped precipitously.

"No, I think it's because they love you very much." Feng Li played with the mutton fat jade tablet given to him by the professor and his wife. The tentacles are warm, smooth but not greasy, such a good material

, I am afraid it is something that has been passed down for several generations.

Li Mo shrugged his shoulders, "You don't know them, for them, the subject is much more important than their own children."

"I don't know anything about the past, but I know that they want to know me because I am his son's boyfriend." Feng Li turned his head to look at Li Mo, his eyes sparkling.

Because I love you, I want to know me, and I want to know if I can bring you happiness.

Whether it's listening to music or watching the live broadcast, it's all about the clumsy and careful love of the professor and his wife as parents.

Li Mo was silent for a while, then suddenly parked the car on the side of the road, turned to look at Feng Li seriously.

"Why? Is there something dirty on my face?" Feng Li reached out and rubbed his face in doubt.

"Pineapple, thank you." Thank you for helping me untangle my heart.

Feng Li blinked, "Thank you for what?"

Li Mo leaned forward, and gently kissed the corner of his lips, his dark eyes were full of love, "Thank you for showing up, thank you for being willing to be with me."

On the other side, Professor Shen took out the assessment form with Feng Li's name written on it from a year ago from the bookshelf, erased the previous space, re-ticked two circles at the top of the column of occupation and character, and then marked the Zhang relies on the connections of the items in the core table to draw a perfect regular hexagon.

Professor Li next to him held a teacup, smiled and shook his head, "It's the first time I've seen a full-score evaluation form in my life."

Shen Lan cast a sideways glance at her wife, "To make your son happy, it deserves full marks."
