I'm in Delingha tonight

Chi Xiao is Chi Nian's cousin.

Although the name is quite tough guy style, she is a real girl in person.As one of Chi Nian's close relatives of the same age, Chi Xiao is 19 years old and is studying at university in Beijing.

Compared with Chi Nian's student days who were serious about subjects and only loved art, Chi Xiao can be said to be a relatively standard "child from other people's family". Worry about it.But it was also for these reasons that Chi Xiao was shy, and his relationship with his family was not too close.

But she only has a good relationship with Chi Nian, and she can make a few witty jokes from time to time, showing her unknown side.

For Chi Xiao, Chi Nian is easy-going and generous, and will not talk too much like the seven aunts and eight aunts. He is very straightforward in helping her with living expenses every time. He is a good cousin in Beijing who impresses her.

But even so, they haven't been in touch for a long time.

After Chi Nian ran away from home, he saw photos of the two families going to the summer resort together in Chi Xiao's circle of friends. He was just feeling uncomfortable at the time, but now he feels for no reason... Chi Xiao probably didn't show it to him on purpose.

Since then, he has been hinting, intentionally or unintentionally, to let him contact her.

It's a pity that Chi Xiao was too introverted, and Chi Nian was in such a mess at that time that no one directly pointed out the best time to talk about it, and it was by accident that he survived until now.

On the phone, the address of "good brother" made Chi Nian thunderous, and he stopped worrying about why Chi Xiao contacted him at this time, pretending that the previous time gap did not exist, and cautiously replied with a question mark.

Chi Xiao kept guarding his phone, and sent him a series of long voice messages upon hearing this.

"Help, you're alive, brother, no matter where you go to pick up junk or eat spicy food, this year's Chinese New Year is grandpa's [-]th birthday, please come back quickly."

"The uncle said that he doesn't care about your elopement with the stinky man. He just asks you to wear all your hair and don't be sold into some pyramid scheme. He doesn't want to receive a call from the police to go to a police station in Dashan to lead someone else. , and I don’t want to entangle with you anymore whether it’s wrong or right to like men.”

"Did Sister Zhuo meet you? Your father said that with your little tricks, you can't fly to his Wuzhi Mountain. Waiting for him will not take long to find out whether there is anyone in the building of which building you live in."

"And if you don't go home again, Grandpa will pick up the crutches and break his leg! Grandpa's [-]th birthday, you weigh it!"

Chi Xiao has probably never said so many words at once in his life, and he was a little weak afterwards.After Chi Nian listened expressionlessly, he felt that this was a huge conspiracy.

Lao Chi, the feudal patriarch, would he argue with him, "Is it right or wrong to like men"?

He didn't believe it.

Half a year ago, Lao Chi stood at the door of his house full of anger and threatened, "If you have the guts to leave, don't come back" and "I will let you enter Lao Chi's house again to be your grandson." , why suddenly acted as an enlightened parent now?

Afraid it wasn't a trick to go back and kill again, Chi Nian let out a "tsk".

But at that time, he really made Lao Chi very angry-not to mention "homosexuality", in Lao Chi's view, it was just Chi Nian who was young and ignorant to catch up with the fashion, and it belonged to some kind of anti-social and anti-scientific stuff. Not on the table.And Chi Nian blatantly yelled at him because of this, which made him embarrassed on the spot.

Although the whole family was not neat and tidy, those who were close to each other basically witnessed the quarrel.It is also because of this that, as a domineering president, it is absolutely impossible for Lao Chi to put down his face and discuss with Chi Nianhao.

What about Ding Li?Guessing that her soft words will expose the bottom line, although the effect is good, it is embarrassing.

Lao Chi will never admit that he cares about Chi Nian.

I thought that Chi Nian would go home after playing enough with the little pocket money, but Lao Chi didn't panic at all and continued to get angry.After waiting for half a year, he didn't wait for the little bastard to bow his head. Instead, he saw that there was less and less news about the little bastard, and he almost lost contact. Only then did Lao Chi realize that something was wrong and began to worry.

He took out the posture of investigating the company's general strategy, went through Chi Nian's relationship network that was destroyed by Zhou Hengwen, and screened it step by step. Finally, he contacted Zhuo Pei'an's brother. He heard about Zhuo Pei'an by chance. Came to Chongqing, frowned, and got a clue.

As for who will contact Chi Nian and how to get Chi Nian to return to Beijing obediently, this is a big question.

In the end, Lao Chi chose this cousin.

When they turned their faces, Chi Xiao happened to be at the summer camp, not an embarrassing witness.She and Chi Nian were meant to be friends, but now that they contacted each other, they could finally save the last bit of face between father and son.

Knowing his father is Mo Ruozi, Chi Nian has already guessed Lao Chi's mind in disgust, he is angry and funny——

The good thing is, due to the serious disparity in information, their stalemate for the past six months has become a farce. Lao Chi knows nothing about his being cheated and suffering, and from the beginning to the end, he only thinks that he is being awkward, and let him become angry like a puffer fish; And it's funny because of the untrue words that Chi Xiao said, "Don't care about the fact that you eloped with the stinky man".

Chi Nian put down his phone, took a sip of coffee, and didn't know whether to believe it or not.

He has great ambitions to give Xi Shan a warm and harmonious home, but the goal has not yet been realized, and opportunities come to him.Lao Chi's concession, since the words have come out, don't blame Chi Nian for plotting against his father.

"I'm talking about a new boyfriend." Chi Nian typed, and he really didn't have to hide it in front of Chi Xiao.

Chi Xiao: "..."

Chi Xiao: "You actually changed another one?"

This tone is not like Chi Xiao's, but like his father who is always worried and stubborn all the time.

Chi Nian pretended to be ignorant and continued typing: "Trust your brother's vision."

There was no reply from the phone for a long time. I wonder if the old Chi is competing with the account owner himself for the right to be on the account. Chi Nian waited leisurely for a while, and sure enough, the expected answer came:

"Why did you return, change another one? What about the previous one? Aren't you breaking up with your family because of him?"

Several question marks in succession are definitely not Chi Xiao's style. Chi Nian imagined a middle-aged man forcibly pretending to be a gossiping young girl, a little contemptuous, and continued to tease people through the network cable.

"Oh, I met a more handsome one."

"A gossiping young girl" almost flipped the table on the spot: "Why are you so irresponsible? Did your father teach you that?"

Chi Nian lowered his eyelids, leaned closer to the phone, and pressed the voice button: "Dad, don't pretend. We're serious about terms. If you ask me to bring my boyfriend home for the New Year, I'll come back."

He was frank and honest, Lao Chi's blood pressure almost soared to the limit, and he didn't let out a fart for a long time. Five minutes later, Lao Chi finally didn't want to continue talking nonsense with him, and a video call came over.

How long can half a year be?

As for Chi Nian, he went from losing his mind and collapsing in despair to returning to the right track and falling in love, and now his mentality is so stable that it can't be any more stable. It's really turned upside down.

But for his parents—especially Lao Chi, who admired wolf-like corporate culture—the son ran away from home, and the money in the account was enough for him to squander for a year and a half. There are a lot of files.

Wrapped by busyness, gradually, the "son" who had already been half out of family life became a symbol of "almost pissed me off".In his spare time, just look at Chi Nian's dead circle of friends, and occasionally change his WeChat avatar, as long as he knows that he is still alive and kicking.

In addition, how can parents admit their mistakes to their children?

There is no overnight feud between husband and wife, and the family lives under the eaves. No matter how big the conflict is, it is not murder and arson.Lao Chi finished his work at the end of the year, and was scolded by his father when he returned home. He hurriedly took advantage of the New Year's Eve to get Chi Nian, who ran away from home and didn't know where he was, to come back quickly.

It's just that the rebellious son and the angry parents connected via video again. No one expected that those quarrels seemed to be submerged in the long river of time, and they could never remember them again.

Chi Nian usually felt that the phone screen was enough, but now it was crowded with Lao Chi and Ding Li, and Chi Xiao's family was vaguely waving at him in the distance.

The idea of ​​"don't lose the battle" disappeared, replaced by the phrase "I miss you so much" that maintains the blood bond.

He reluctantly admitted: family members, they are annoyed when they see it, and they read it when they can’t see it.

He is as fickle as Xi Shan, and even rushed back to Delingha overnight because of a serious illness, and was busy day and night for relatives who had a normal relationship. He and his parents did not have much conflict, and each took a step back.

"Oh... lost weight."

Ding Li's words broke the long silence. She hastily wiped the corner of her eyes, as if she had found a breakthrough to talk to Chi Nian, her emotions poured out instantly: "Baby, are you in Chongqing?"

The familiar nickname made his eyes warm, and Chi Nian sniffed, "Mmm."

"Aren't you used to eating over there? There is no heating in winter, can you survive? It's almost Chinese New Year, mom and dad really want you back, we... you said, we can discuss it."

While she was talking, Lao Chi snorted coldly beside her, expressing her agreement.

Chi Nian took the soft but not the hard, hesitating, his ambition to win the high ground of spiritual victory just now was completely overthrown by his mother's few greetings.He spit out a mouthful of pent-up resentment, wiped his right eye, the corners of his mouth were still tense, but his tone softened a step ahead, revealing his gentle heart.

"I...I don't want to talk to you." Chi Nian's harsh words were also sticky, his eyes were erratic, "You didn't listen to me at all."

Ding Li: "Then you come back, let's talk face to face, okay? Mom and Dad listen to you and finish first this time."

"Lao Chi has no credibility with me."

Caught off guard by being named, Lao Chi's eyebrows almost flew into the sky: "You little bastard, my mother..."

Ding Li twisted his thigh hard, and Lao Chi was so painful that all his facial features shifted, and he completely lost the right to speak.Ding Li glared at him, turned to Chi Nian, and continued to play the emotional card: "Hey, he doesn't have credibility, mom always has it, right? I didn't stop you from going out, mom did something wrong, we understand each other, baby, you are sensible. "

You are sensible, these three words seem to be a curse on Chi Nian's mind, which will not go away for a long time, and let him reflexively say "yes".

But Chi Nian was sober for a moment, and he looked at his parents who hadn't seen him for half a year on the phone screen.

There wasn't much strangeness, and this wasn't a long-term separation, but Lao Chi and Ding Li still loved him after all, and they didn't tie him back to Beijing indiscriminately.

Just for this, he wanted to talk to his parents again.

"I can go back to celebrate grandpa's birthday, but you have to agree with me to go before the year." Chi Nian said firmly, "I promised him that we will celebrate the New Year together this year."

"These are all negotiable, as long as you come back." Ding Li was very reasonable.

Chi Nian said persistently: "Don't 'discuss', I want you to agree. Mom, I miss you too, I miss my father, I miss my grandparents, but I don't think that Like men is something that can be 'negotiable'. If you choose to understand Long live, then I will be very happy; if you don't accept or agree, I will still live my own life after I am sad... This does not affect my love for you, but, I don't It's not like there's a problem between us."

"Baby……"

"You can pretend to be deaf and dumb, but I'm always going to be in a relationship, Mom. I won't marry a girl. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

"Chi Nian, listen to me, you are still young..."

"Mom, I'm 22 years old, I'll be 23 soon, and now I have a job. Although I don't earn much, you may not like it. Indeed, I can already support myself."

"..."

"I support myself so that I won't 'discuss' with you."

Chi Nian looked at Ding Li, and the dim and gentle light enveloped him, as if Xi Shan was beside him, giving him a hug like the warm winter sun, so that he didn't have to be afraid of anything.

"I love my boyfriend very much, his name is Xi Shan."

"He's fine. I want you to know him too, is that okay?"
