Forced to be at the same table with the full-level boss

Yao Yu originally thought that the layout of Chu Qing's house would be similar to that of the old house, but upon entering the door, she found that there were completely two styles.

The decoration of the house is in an idyllic style. The green walls and yellow carpet make the room very bright. The green plants give the air a fresh fragrance of flowers and plants, rather than the fresh air deliberately adjusted in the old house. Agent smell.Yao Yu stood at the door in a daze for a moment, only to recover after being reminded by Chu Qing to change shoes and enter the house.

"Mom knew you would come." Chu Qing walked to the sofa with a basin of washed strawberries, "Mom has been waiting for you too."

Yao Yu sat stiffly on the single sofa, looking at Chu Qing at a loss, not knowing how to answer the conversation.

"Is grandpa okay?" Chu Qing asked.

"It's okay," Yao Yu said, "Dad persuaded him not to interfere in the company's affairs, and grandpa agreed. He planned to go home and rest after the end of the first half of the year."

Chu Qing nodded, and suddenly asked: "Then are you interested in taking over the family business?"

Yao Yu was taken aback for a moment, wondering why his mother would ask such a question.Grandpa's company is not a family business. When it was established, it was funded and founded by several people. Over the years, it has trained many juniors, all of whom are very capable young people. After graduation, he can get a job if he wants to, but it is still far away to take over. Not up to standard.

What's more, his grandfather was not very ambitious, and he only wanted to do a good job in his career. In terms of selection, ability was more important than blood relationship, so he only invested in his son's business and did not force him into his company.

He shook his head: "No, I don't have that idea for now."

Chu Qing was not surprised by his answer, she stretched out her hand to stroke her hair: "It's fine if you don't go, you haven't done a few things you like when you grow up, and there will be no mother to take care of you in the future, so you can do whatever you want , and you don’t need to listen to your father. I remember you asked me what freedom is when you were five years old. At that time, I let you think for yourself. Your father has been separated for so long, and finally he can barely feel a little freedom."

"I've heard people talk about your winning the award. You may have been wondering why I didn't let you stand too high. Mom can only tell you that I have my own difficulties. I promised your father not to tell you the reason. This is The last agreement between us, my mother is going to keep it, so I can't let you know, if you want to come, you can come to me anytime, but I can't give you the key, do you understand what I mean?"

Chu Qing remembered the past, her face showed fatigue, she pushed the strawberry plate towards Yao Yu to signal him to eat, leaned back against the back of the sofa and rubbed between her eyebrows.

Yao Yu unconsciously connected her words with the "Wei Wei" that came from Yao Lihui's mouth. He heard a kind of disappointment and alienation from Chu Qing's words. This alienation could not be caused by him. It must be because of someone else.

He was silent for a long time, and when Chu Qing got up to get the remote control of the air conditioner on the coffee table, he asked, "Is it because of 'Weiwei'?"

With a bang, the remote control fell to the ground.

"Who told you that?" Chu Qing's voice was sharper, "How could someone mention her to you?"

Yao Yu could see that his mother's emotions were agitated almost instantly. He wanted to seize this opportunity and said without hesitation, "Dad told me."

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Chu Qing glanced at him and quickly calmed down.

"Impossible," she said, "Yao Lihui won't tell you this."

"Why is it impossible? I am also a member of the family, why can't I know the reason for your divorce?" Yao Yu asked back.

"Because he is this kind of person, he feels ashamed in his heart, but he always puts the reason on other people's heads. The surname Yao is almost the same... your grandpa is also," she paused, "Mom always hopes that you are different from them .”

Listening to her ambiguous words, Yao Yu was confused and anxious: "Is it really impossible for you? Does grandpa know about 'Weiwei'? If he does something wrong, grandpa will take care of it, grandpa will definitely take care of it... ..."

"Of course your grandpa knows," Chu Qing said, "Didn't I say that? Yao's family is pretty much the same, Xiaoyu, mom knows you'll be able to accept it soon, you've grown up so much, you can bear it when you were young, and grow up Still can't bear it? It's a relief for you to not have your parents fighting in front of you every day, don't you think?"

Yao Yu's shoulders slumped, he knew that he had really thought about it, he had thought about it in countless mornings woken up by the sound of quarrels and at the dinner table that tasted like wax, and now that Chu Qing brought it up, he couldn't say a word of rebuttal .

But that was just a thought, it never occurred to him to actually make it happen.

He still wanted to say something, but Chu Qing choked on his throat: "Mom didn't prepare food here, you should go home for dinner today."

Yao Yu was silent for a while, then stood up.

A year later, the winter in Yancheng is still snowy, and every few meters on the icy road, there is a flashing warning light, the red light is very dazzling.

The last section of the subway was built on the road. Yao Yu answered the phone with a trembling voice: "Hello?"

"Student Xiao Yao," Yi Yi said with a smile, "Happy New Year."

Yao Yu raised his eyes and glanced at the flashing street scene, feeling as if he had passed away: "Happy New Year."

"Tell you some good news, do you want to hear it?"

"Huh? Are you coming back for the New Year?" Yao Yu asked.

"Yes, we hired a nurse to help take care of her for three days. Counting the travel time, we can only stay in China for one night, but it's better than nothing. Are you in Fuyang, or Yancheng?"

Yao Yu took a breath: "I'm in Yancheng, you go back to Fuyang, tell me the date, I'll go find you."

"Then you stay in Yancheng and stay with your family. I can buy a ticket to Yancheng."

"No need," Yao Yu said, "my parents will not be at home for the New Year this year."

There were too many things on his mind, so he packed a few clothes in a mess and stuffed them into the suitcase. When he got out of the car, he realized that he didn't apply for winter vacation detention. During the Chinese New Year, the hotel rooms in the urban area were almost fully booked. I called Yi Yi to ask for shelter.

Fang Jinghan lived in her own home, and it was inconvenient for Yi Yi to go with her, so she made an appointment in advance at a hotel not far from her home. The room was big and clean, the only drawback was that there was only one bed.

While waiting for someone to check in at the front desk, Yao Yu saw Fang Jinghan herself for the first time who had appeared in his ears countless times. He wanted to sit on the sofa in the lobby and wait for her to leave before looking for Yi Yi, but he didn't want to. Yi Yi saw him and walked over directly pushing the suitcase.

After not seeing each other for almost a year, Yi Yi's eyes were filled with complex emotions, he gently rubbed Yao Yu's hair, then bowed his head and quickly kissed him on the lips.

As soon as Yao Yu pushed him away, Fang Jinghan stared at the two of them in surprise.

……

"My name is Yao Yu." At the dinner table, Yao Yu couldn't continue after saying four words.

Fang Jinghan is someone who has been there, and she understood the relationship between him and Yi Yi without explaining. She asked Yi Yi with a smile on her face, "Why didn't you tell me?"

Yi Yi turned his head, pointed to the menu and added some of Yao Yu's favorite dishes, and said, "Forgot."

Fang Jinghan shook her head in disgust, then turned around and asked Yao Yu enthusiastically, "What's your name?"

Yao Yu: "...Yao Yu."

Fang Jinghan listened to it this time, and was taken aback: "Yaoyu? Which island?"

"Beside the word "Shan", there is a person who is kind to others."

Fang Jinghan's face changed a few times, and it took a long time to change back to a gentle smile: "So it was written like this. I have lived abroad for a long time, and I almost don't even know the words."

She asked with interest: "How did you know each other? Tell me about it?"

Chatting with "parents" like Fang Jinghan is not burdensome at all, and there is no need to even explain why two people of the same gender are together. Yao Yu found a long-lost comfort from the tense guilt of the day, and was drunk in a short while. Red neck.

Fang Jinghan looked at the two of them with a smile, and asked, "Are you a bit lucky that I am Xiaoyi's parent?"

Yao Yu nodded.

"Of course it is necessary. Sometimes, only people of the same kind can understand people of the same kind, classmate Xiao Yao," Fang Jinghan asked suddenly, "Have you told your family about your situation with Xiao Yi?"

Yi Yi stopped the cup she stretched out: "Why are you asking this?"

"Of course I'm worried about you," Fang Jinghan said, "Can I still harm you?"

Yi Yi frowned.

"Don't think you don't like to hear it. With my current status, I have to tell you more things that I don't like to hear. Otherwise, you will end up like me now. Xiaoyi, don't worry, just think about Xiaoyu. ?”

Yi Yi was silent and let go of his hand.

Fang Jinghan told them about her going abroad.

"I confessed to my family early on that my parents belong to the more traditional type, and it takes time to accept new things, so I thought that instead of waiting later, I should tell them earlier and give them more time to figure it out, so I said it when I was an adult. My own affairs, now that I think about it, I was a little impulsive at that time. In fact, it doesn’t make much difference to say it sooner or later. Some people can’t accept it, but they really can’t accept it for the rest of their lives. I still have ideas here," Fang Jinghan took a sip of her wine, "So Xiaoyu, my sister, as someone who has experienced it, will tell you a piece of experience."

"Don't try to impress so and so. Sometimes even if they want to understand, they will be influenced by the outside world unconsciously. You and Xiaoyi just be yourself and don't need to lower your posture to deliberately please others. No matter what happens, my sister will always support you. You guys, do you know?" Fang Jinghan's gaze fell directly on Yao Yu.

"It's just a meal, it's too formal," Yi Yi took down her cup, "There is another meal in the evening, don't drink too much, and talk too much."

Fang Jinghan: "...if you have a partner, forget about my sister."

The hotel room was very clean, the carpet was changed to red, and the small red blessing characters were pasted on the toiletries. Everything was decorated with a festive atmosphere for the New Year.

Yao Yu took a shower, lying on the bed and swiping his phone. His circle of friends was still full of all kinds of New Year's jokes and blessings. He slowly scrolled down, and soon saw the photos of Yao Lihui's routine New Year's Eve dinner.

The angle of the camera is facing the table, and the people around cannot be seen, but the black shadow reflected in the depth of the wood reveals the fact that there are only two people on the table.

"What's the matter?" A warm hand covered his leg, "It's so cold on your body, why don't you cover yourself with the quilt?"

Yao Yu turned her head, the bed collapsed a little, and Yi Yi was covered with heat and a pleasant fragrance.

He stared at the fingers on his leg, tried several times, but still couldn't speak his mind.
