Micro-check

After get off work, Zhou Xun took a shower in the bathroom in the building, changed into the clothes left in the office, and tidied himself up before going to see his parents and sister.

Sister Liu was on the night shift that day. Seeing that Zhou Xun was not affected by what happened at noon, she smiled and said, "Seeing that you still have the energy to tidy yourself up like a human, I feel relieved. You Where is this going, is it because of our vice-principal relationship?"

In the past, Sister Liu would have joked that Zhou Xun was going on a blind date, but after what happened at noon, everyone now tacitly understands that Zhou Xun and Zhou Ning may be a couple, and if they are boyfriend and girlfriend, everyone will still joke He said, since it was not true, everyone naturally kept silent to avoid embarrassing Zhou Xun.So Sister Liu also found a new reason.

The deputy dean in charge of their major department is a female dean, a strong woman, unmarried so far, she has strong ability, strong personality and style, but every time in a meeting, Zhou Xun, as a small inspector, is caught by her I have called and praised it several times, so there is a joke about Sister Liu.

Zhou Xun also had a good temper, and didn't bother her to make such jokes, saying: "My sister has returned to China, I'll go see her."

Before Zhou Xu went abroad, she visited the department a few times. Zhou Xu was pretty and had a pleasant personality. Naturally, she attracted attention as soon as she came. Almost everyone in the department knew that Zhou Xun had a beautiful younger sister.

When Sister Liu heard this, she said, "I haven't seen her for a long time, have you been in the United States for nearly a year?"

"Yes." Zhou Xun nodded, "Sister Liu, I'm leaving first, bye."

"Bye-Bye."

When Zhou Xun arrived at the grilled fish shop, Zhou's father, Zhou mother and Zhou Xu were already in the shop.

They asked for a cubicle, and Zhou Xu was sitting next to Zhou's mother, propping her chin and talking to Zhou's father who was sitting opposite. When she saw Zhou Xun appearing at the corner, she immediately stood up with a bright smile on her face. With a smile, he waved to him, "Brother, here, here."

Zhou Xun also saw Zhou Xu, a girl who had a runny nose when she was a girl, and now she has grown into a big girl. After being educated in the United States, she dresses in a sexy way. Gorgeous and exquisite heavy makeup, bright red lips, in Zhou Xun's eyes, a vampire can only be like this after sucking blood, which makes him dare not recognize it.

"Zhou Xu." As soon as Zhou Xun said hello, Zhou Xu had already run over and jumped on him. Zhou Xun quickly hugged her, and Zhou Xu kissed him on the cheek, "Brother, I really want to kill you gone."

Zhou Xun stretched out his hand to pinch her face like before, but he was afraid of ruining the makeup on her face, so he had no choice but to say: "I know, I know, okay, go back and sit down, don't jump around when you dress like this. "

Zhou Xu took two steps back and asked, "Does it look good?"

Zhou Xun nodded, "It looks good."

"You are simply a scum among gay people. You didn't have any aesthetics before. I thought you should be expelled from gay status because of your aesthetics." Zhou Xu reached out to take Zhou Xun's arm again, and pulled him to his parents. go.

Zhou Xu said outside that Zhou Xun was gay, which made Zhou's mother glared at her immediately, "Zhou Xu, what are you talking about again, don't talk nonsense."

Zhou Xu didn't care about her glaring at all, and shrugged. She was wearing a sweater with off-the-shoulder, and she looked very delicate and sexy when she did this gesture, "You guys are unwilling to accept the reality. You always put your impossible I hope that I will do everything according to your requirements. Is this possible? Didn’t you give birth to an almighty robot?”

What Zhou Xu said, no matter how angry her parents are, there is nothing they can do about her. A daughter is for pampering, not beating.If Zhou Xun said so, Father Zhou might beat him with whatever he has.But Zhou Xun never said anything against them, not even when he showed his personality in front of them.

He was born cute, he was a cute baby when he was a child, and he became a gentle and handsome guy when he grew up. It is said that he should be paid attention and favored by people since he was a child, but his personality is too dull and he doesn’t like to communicate with others. It makes people feel that there is no sense of existence. It is like this at home, at school, and after work at work, it is almost still like this.

If there is any time for him to show his personality, it is probably in front of Zhou Ning.His personality, in the eyes of others, may also be synonymous with unrealistic and childish. If he mentioned it in front of his parents, he would be reprimanded. Naturally, he would not communicate with them. Only Zhou Ning would be willing to tolerate and understand him.

The parents had nothing to do with Zhou Xu, so Zhou Xun said hello to them, "Dad, Mom."

Zhou's father never scolded his daughter, and seldom said harsh words, but he always picked his nose and eyes at Zhou Xun.

"You still know us. I thought you were going to sever ties with your family. You haven't come home for more than a year. How dare you call us now?"

Zhou Xun stood on the edge of the table, lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly: "I didn't mean that, but I was afraid that I would upset you if I went back."

Father Zhou said with a straight face: "You also know that you will make us unhappy?!"

Zhou Xun didn't know how to communicate with them, and Zhou Xu frowned, "Dad, I came back after a long time, just to listen to you show off your father's power? Can you let my brother sit down and have a good meal?" Zhou Xu pouted, "I know how to lose my temper. It's not easy to be a son. If you are close, you will scold him if you are far away. Why don't you tell me that you watch his circle of friends on my mobile phone, and you will know how stubborn you are. Chinese style The sullenness and sorrow of fatherly love..."

Fortunately, Zhou Xu was there, Zhou Xun thought, and finally let go of the original mention.

Zhou's mother was finally more loving than Zhou's father, and said, "Sit down and eat first."

Seeing that Zhou's father was very picky about Zhou Xun, Zhou Xu automatically sat beside him and let Zhou Xun and Zhou's mother sit.

After Zhou Xun sat down, Zhou's father disliked him again, and said to him: "Look what's going on at your young age, you look listless, and you don't have the vitality of a young man at all."

Zhou Xun managed to pull himself together and said, "I'm a little tired just after get off work, so I don't have energy."

Zhou Xu murmured in front of her father, "You were the one who scolded me. Your education method is really bad. After all, my brother is an elite student, and you scold him every time. Don't you think it's wrong for you to do this?"

"I'm wrong, I'm really wrong, but I just can't see him looking like this." Father Zhou sighed, and he would be convinced whatever his daughter said about him.

Mother Zhou showed the menu to Zhou Xun, "I already ordered a sea bass and a mandarin fish, and I also ordered these dishes. I have placed the order. See if you want anything. Ask the waiter to order."

Zhou Xun glanced at the menu and said, "Well, that's enough, I don't need to order."

Zhou Xu smiled and reached out to hold Zhou Xun's hand, and pointed to the lipstick on her mouth with the other finger: "How about it, this color?"

Zhou Xun thought it was too red like blood, but nodded, "It looks good."

Zhou Xu said: "Dior's Aunt Red is a limited edition, it looks good." Then he asked him to look at his cheeks, "This blush, NARS' DeepThroat, is a good match, right?"

Zhou Xun even suspected that she had said the wrong word. After realizing that she meant it, he glanced at his parents and found that they didn't understand. He was relieved and said with a helpless smile, "Pay attention to the impact."

Zhou Xu pursed her lips and said, "Hey, I haven't seen you for almost a year, so you know how to educate me."

"He has been a big brother for a long time, and he is easy to teach when he speaks." Zhou's father is not used to his son educating his daughter, Zhou's mother said: "Okay, don't talk about that."

Zhou's mother wanted to ask Zhou Xun how he was doing, but seeing Zhou Xun's lack of energy, his complexion was not bad, and he didn't think he was sick, but thinking that it was impossible for him to bring them a daughter-in-law and grandchildren, she felt that It was difficult to calm down, and the mood was heavy for a while, so he fell silent.

Although it takes time to make grilled fish, they have been ordering for a while, and the grilled fish was brought out quickly. When something happened, the atmosphere at the dinner table was not dull. Zhou's father was very proud of his daughter, and told her to pay attention to her health and safety when she was alone, and not to be frugal.

Because Zhou Xu spent most of her time working on projects with her mentor, she did not live in school. For safety reasons, Zhou’s father and mother rented a house for her in a rich area when Zhou’s parents visited her in the United States during the Chinese New Year. The annual rent is about RMB More than 30 yuan, Zhou's father said: "The rent is indeed not cheap, but this money cannot be saved. Before you pay the rent next time, you should tell us earlier and we will call you."

He also said to Zhou Xun: "Your sister's living expenses are all earned by doing projects on her own, which is more up-to-date than you were at the beginning."

Zhou Xun reflected on himself silently in his heart. Although he did not pay tuition fees by scholarship when he went to school, and the laboratory would send part of the living expenses and project expenses, but he has never lived an overly frugal life, and he has not learned to be frugal. , so the family will still give him a large amount of living expenses every month. He has forgotten how much, anyway, he has never been short of money to spend.

Zhou Xun fell into deep thought for a moment, if he was really dismissed by the hospital, how could he have the nerve to let Zhou Ning raise him.

Zhou Xun's silence made Zhou's father even more excited, and said to him: "You, you just haven't suffered hardships. You have been idealistic since you were a child. You are in your early thirties. You are still young and naive. Said What do you like about men? It is absolutely impossible to find a woman to marry. I think you are self-willed and reckless. You have never listened to other people's persuasion. It has been like this since you were a child. You always obey what others say. You think I don't know how chaotic the circle is. , you mess around outside, it’s better if you don’t come home, and don’t cuddle with your sister at every turn, don’t pass any disease to her.”

Zhou Xun looked at him in shock, clenched and then loosened the chopsticks in his hand, and finally landed on the table.
