After saving Bai Yueguang's substitute

【Xu Zhinian's Diary-7】

August 2020, 10, sunny

Today is National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Mr. Jiang's uncle gave me a pair of watches, saying they were gifts.

The watch is beautiful and clean, the dial is blue, engraved with silver patterns and Roman numerals, it looks very delicate.

I searched secretly, but I couldn't find the same model, but I checked other watches of this brand, and the prices were all terribly expensive.

Mr. Jiang said it was fine, just let me keep it.

To be honest, I am a little afraid to wear this watch, for fear of bumping it accidentally.

When Mr. Jiang found out, he hugged me and laughed.

So angry, what's so funny about this.

But in the end, I still wore it with Mr. Jiang, because most of the couple watches on the market are men’s and women’s models. This one was specially customized by my uncle, and both pairs are men’s models.

I looked at the same watch on Mr. Jiang's wrist and giggled all night.

Today is also a day for loving Mr. Jiang (almost forgot to mention).

Years ago, I found time to go back to the old house.

My dad and I still hate each other, he looks at me more and more, and I look at him the same way.

His newest wife, Aunt Liu, was pretty quiet and didn't bother me much.

Maybe as my dad got older, his aesthetics finally changed a lot, and he no longer just stared at those little fairies who love to act like monsters.

1196

During dinner, my dad said to me: "Your sister is looking for a job recently."

I raised my eyebrows and asked, "My sister? Which one?"

My dad frowned: "Which one else, isn't this the only one at home now."

I said lightly: "Oh, Aunt Liu's daughter."

1197

My dad said: "The company should recruit people after the next year, so you can arrange it and let your sister go to the company to help you do the work."

I said, "Recruitment is a matter for the HR department. I generally don't care about it. If you want to join the company, just ask her to submit a resume to the HR department."

My dad scowled and said, "The personnel department's recruitment requirements are too high. Without a diploma from a key university, they won't be able to get into their eyes."

I asked, "Oh? Then what degree does she have?"

Aunt Liu hurriedly said beside her: "She also graduated from a university with a bachelor's degree."

"It's only a bachelor's degree." I said, "It's really difficult to get into."

Aunt Liu said: "I don't need a very good position, just let her sit in the company and do chores for you."

1198

I put down my chopsticks, looked at my dad, and said, "I remember dad also started a company, why didn't Liu Jingjing go to your place?"

My dad started his own company a few years ago, but unfortunately he really doesn't have any talent for business. The company hasn't improved for so many years, and he doesn't make much money every year, and even loses a lot of money.

"My company is just for fun." My dad was a little embarrassed, "How can it compare with the company at home."

I took out a tissue, wiped my hands slowly, and said, "Really?"

My dad said: "It's just such a small matter, if you say a word, can the HR department disagree?"

I laughed and said, "Dad, have you forgotten that our company doesn't hire useless idlers. When you wanted to join the company, Grandpa didn't agree."

My dad's face turned blue and white.

1199

Aunt Liu was busy smoothing things over: "If it doesn't work, forget it, you can go outside to find a quiet job by yourself."

I said, "This is the best."

My dad was smacked in the face by me, and his face was ashen.

I think he just wants to make me feel uncomfortable.

1200

After eating, I got up to leave, but my dad stopped me: "Stop!"

I turned around and asked him, "Anything else?"

My dad frowned and looked at me: "Are you... 28 this year?"

I nodded: "Yes."

My dad said, "When I was your age, you were already born."

1201

I said, "Say it straight."

My dad said, "Are you really not going to get married?"

I said blankly, "I like men."

My dad said earnestly: "It doesn't affect you to get married and have children. If you really like a man, you can just keep him outside."

I said, "I won't marry a woman."

1202

My dad said angrily, "Then you don't want children anymore?"

I sneered and said, "My family has no throne to inherit, so why do I have to have children."

My dad said: "That's not what it says..."

I interrupted him: "You don't have to worry about the Jiang family having no successors. Anyway, you have many illegitimate children who can help you continue the blood of the Jiang family."

My dad's chest heaved twice, and he was too angry to speak.

1203

Aunt Liu hurried over and patted his back twice to bring him back to life.

My dad scolded: "Are you going to make me mad! I might as well never have given birth to your son!"

I said blankly, "It would be great if you could think that way."

My dad was even angrier: "You!"

1204

Aunt Liu quickly changed the subject: "It's Chinese New Year, don't be angry."

Then she turned to me and asked, "By the way, New Year's Eve dinner... you come back to eat? What do you like to eat, I will let the kitchen make it for you."

I shook my head and said, "No need, I will spend New Year's Eve at my home."

My dad couldn't help but said, "Isn't this your home?"

I sneered and didn't speak.

1205

I don't know what's wrong with my dad. He and I can't see each other clearly, and he always wants to play the role of a father who is kind and son filial.

Unfortunately, I have no interest in this.

1206

Before leaving the old house, I took a look at the room where my mother lived.

There's no visible change in the layout there.

When she was crazy, she would always lock herself in the room. Sometimes she would get sick and couldn't control herself. The room was smashed by her, and the furniture had to be replaced every once in a while.

1207

I stood at the door, and the scene in front of me overlapped with the dream again.

I looked at it blankly for a while, then turned and went downstairs.

1208

The New Year's Eve dinner was eaten at home, me, Xu Zhinian, Mrs. Wang and Uncle Yang.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Mrs. Wang went to the vegetable market to buy a lot of ingredients and came back.

Xu Zhinian lay in bed and refused to get up, so I wrapped him in the quilt and hugged him, pressed him on the bed and kissed him several times.

He only showed his head and said that he was going to be breathless, so I let him go.

1209

After getting up slowly, Xu Zhinian looked out of the window and suddenly said pleasantly, "Mr. Jiang, is it snowing outside?"

I followed and looked out of the window, and saw snowflakes falling one after another, and the edge of the window sill was covered with white.

I nodded and said, "I guess it fell last night, and now it's covered in a layer on the ground."

Xu Zhinian suddenly became playful, and after washing, he put on his down jacket and ran into the yard.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Wang quickly shouted, "Niannian! It's cold outside, why don't you wear a scarf."

1210

When I went out with my scarf, Xu Zhinian had already rubbed a ball of snow and threw it at me.

The snowball hit my coat with a bang, splashing snow foam all over my body.

I looked down at him: "I'm getting more and more courageous, and I'm going to throw things at me."

Xu Zhinian stuck out his tongue and made a face at me.

1211

I walked over and wrapped the scarf around his neck several times.

Xu Zhinian said intermittently: "Jiang, Mr. Jiang, it's too tight, I can't breathe!"

I let go of the scarf and asked him, "Do you still dare to hit me again?"

Xu Zhinian quickly took two steps back, grabbed a handful of snow on the ground, threw it towards me, and said loudly, "Dare!"

I:"……"

1212

I looked at him for a few seconds and laughed.

Before he knew it, Xu Zhinian's personality became more and more cheerful, and he was completely different from the young man who was always in a daze and silent at the beginning.

When facing me before, he was always respectful and flustered.

Now the attitude is becoming more and more easy-going, less alienated and more intimacy.

1213

I played with him in the yard for a while, and when he came back, he was covered in snow.

The room was warm, and the snowflakes had turned into water stains. Mrs. Wang rushed us to change clothes.

Xu Zhinian's hands were red from the cold, and he didn't feel it when he was outside, but he yelled cold at me when he came back.

I wrapped his hands tightly in my pockets and asked Mrs. Wang to fill him with a hot water bottle.

1214

New Year's Eve dinner is very rich.

Sitting at the dining table, Mrs. Wang sighed, "Xiao Jiang is finally not alone in the family this year."

I just laughed: "Didn't you and Uncle Yang be there before?"

Mrs. Wang said, "How can this be the same?"

I said, "It's nothing different, you're all my family."

Xu Zhinian nodded in agreement.

1215

Uncle Yang bought the fireworks and came back. After dinner, he brought out the fireworks and put them in the yard for me and Xu Zhinian to light them.

Xu Zhinian was a little scared, so he insisted on pulling me over with him, and then quickly retreated after the fuse was lit.

Mrs. Wang moved some chairs out and put them a little further away.

I sat back on the chair and chuckled lightly: "Why are you so timid?"

Xu Zhinian turned his head and said something to me.

The fireworks rose into the air with a "bang" just at this time, and I didn't hear his words clearly.

1216

Fireworks bloom in the sky.

I asked Xu Zhinian: "What did you just say?"

Xu Zhinian blinked, smiled at me, but didn't speak.

I reached out and pulled him to me, letting him sit in my arms.

I hugged him behind my back, resting my chin on his shoulder, watching the gorgeous fireworks with him.

1217

Xu Zhinian raised his head, the flickering lights flickered on his face intermittently.

"Mr. Jiang." He suddenly turned his head and said loudly in my ear, "I love you so much."

The largest firework exploded at this moment.

My breathing stopped for a moment.

1218

I hugged Xu Zhinian and turned him to face me.

Under the sky, I bowed my head and kissed him.

1219

The fireworks took off and exploded one by one.

Like the heartbeat of my blending with him, it exploded.

1220

After a long time, I let him go.

He took two deep breaths, buried his face in my chest, and said softly, "Sister-in-law Wang and Uncle Yang are here."

I said, "They are all watching the fireworks."

Xu Zhinian stopped talking.

1221

The New Year's bell rings slowly.

I leaned into Xu Zhinian's ear and said softly, "Niannian, I love you too."

1222

After the fireworks were set off, I realized that there were several missed calls in my mobile phone.

It was Wei Shisheng calling.

I called back.

Wei Shisheng answered quickly.

1223

It was very quiet on his side, and I heard nothing.

I asked him, "What can I do for you?"

Wei Shisheng was silent for a few seconds before he said, "It's nothing, I wish you a happy new year."

I said calmly, "Happy New Year."

1224

Wei Shisheng said: "Tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year, are you coming to Wei's house to pay New Year's greetings?"

I said, "I haven't been to Wei's house for several years."

Wei Shisheng said: "The man next to you can also be brought here."

I frowned and didn't speak.

1225

Wei Shisheng went on to say: "I know your father will not admit him, and he will never accept your sexual orientation, but I will."

I was unmoved and said, "He doesn't need anyone's acknowledgment, as long as I admit him is enough."

Wei Shisheng's voice was a little low: "I am your uncle, your mother's brother, your blood relative. I want to see you and your lover, can't I?"

I thought about it, but didn't refuse outright, and said, "I'll ask his opinion."

1226

After hanging up the phone, I turned my head and asked Xu Zhinian, "Would you like to come with me to see my uncle?"

Xu Zhinian froze for a moment, then opened his eyes wide, and repeated, "Your uncle?"

"Yeah." I nodded, "He asked me to take you to celebrate the New Year with me tomorrow."

Xu Zhinian stammered, "He, he knows me?"

I said: "Yeah."

1227

Xu Zhinian was a little nervous, he clenched his hands tightly and then loosened them.

I rubbed his head and said, "Don't worry, if you're not ready, don't go."

Xu Zhinian took a few deep breaths and said after a long time: "...Go."
