Zhang Jianyang sat in the same position in the same car, watching the car drive to the same place.On that rainy night a few months ago, he got into the car with Zou Yan with an impure purpose, and his heart was full of anticipation and excitement.A few months later, he was dragged into the car by Zou Yan, and he was only nervous.

He was holding the gift bag in his hand, kneading it subconsciously, and occasionally lowered his head to check if the gift had been brought.Although he has checked countless times.

After being comforted by Zou Yan last night, Zhang Jianyang seemed to have calmed down, but when he was about to leave the house today, he suddenly became nervous again, thinking that Zou's mother must be a powerful person.

"It's almost there. I know it's useless to comfort you now, but it'll be fine when you get here. You won't be nervous when you see your mother." Zou Yan took Zhang Jianyang's hand, put it in his hand and squeezed it lightly.

The car drove slowly through the gate and entered the courtyard. Zhang Jianyang straightened his clothes immediately and checked the items in his hands. He felt that the image of himself carrying two boxes was very silly.

When the two walked to the gate, Zhang Jianyang took a deep breath and walked in anyway.

A woman sat on a sofa with her back to them, looking down at something.

"Mom, we're here." Zou Yan called her.

Ms. Lin turned her head, took off her small gold-rimmed glasses, and smiled faintly, as if she was a well-educated lady, very gentle.Her skin is well maintained, only when she smiles, there are some age lines in the corners of her eyes.

"Come on, I'm still thinking that it's about time." Ms. Lin stepped forward and looked at Zhang Jianyang with a smile, "This is Xiaoyang, she looks so pretty."

"Hello, auntie, I'm Zhang Jianyang, it's... it's..." After that, he stuttered as expected. He originally wanted to say that he was Zou Yan's boyfriend, but when he got to the point of talking, he was suddenly ashamed to speak.

"My love." Zou Yan immediately answered.

"Don't be nervous, Zou Yan told me everything, I know." Ms. Lin smiled brightly.

Zhang Jianyang also smiled embarrassedly, for some reason, the feeling of tension suddenly disappeared.

"Auntie, here is a little gift I brought you. I don't know what you like, so I just bought some. I hope you like it." Zhang Jianyang immediately handed over the gift in his hand.

"Thank you, Auntie will definitely like it." The lady took the bag and held it in her hand, "It's getting late, the food is almost ready, please take your seats first. Auntie put away the presents first." She mocked Zhang Jianyang Blinking, she carefully held the gift box in her hand and carried it upstairs.

Zhang Jianyang followed Zou Yan to the restaurant and finally relaxed.

"Not nervous anymore?" Zou Yan poured him a drink.

"A little bit, but Auntie is very nice and kind."

Ms. Lin's enthusiasm is just right, there is no excessive intimacy that catches him off guard, and there is no alienation that often happens when meeting for the first time, which makes him at a loss what to do.

"My mother is a very good person. We don't have to shy away from her in front of her. When I came out, she was the first one to tell me. She told me that I did nothing wrong and that I should boldly pursue my love."

Zhang Jianyang nodded, lamenting his luck.My parents unconditionally supported me in this matter, and the person I like also has the understanding from the family, which is really great.

The two of them sat for a while, and Ms. Lin also came down from upstairs and walked into the restaurant.

Zhang Jianyang noticed that she had already put on the necklace he gave her, and she also exuded a faint fragrance as she walked into the restaurant.

"Auntie is impatient. She has already opened the gift and put it on. How is it? Does it look good?"

"It's very pretty, it matches your clothes very well." Zhang Jianyang praised sincerely.He knew that Zou's mother wanted something, so why would she be eager to check his insignificant gift?

"Okay, let's eat, Xiaoyang, you don't have to be polite, just treat this as your own home." Ms. Lin greeted them to start eating.

Although the atmosphere was good, Zhang Jianyang still didn't dare to treat this place as his own home, and ate in a proper manner.There was no talking when eating or sleeping, there was no conversation at the dinner table, only the slight sound of cups and saucers touching each other.

After the meal, Ms. Lin sat down in front of the electric fireplace to rest, and asked Zhang Jianyang to sit next to her.Zou Yan, who was sitting by the side, received a call and walked out.Seeing that only he and Ms. Lin were in the same room, Zhang Jianyang began to get nervous again.

"Would you mind telling me, how did you and Xiaoyan meet? He is busy managing the company, so he doesn't tell me much about these things." Ms. Lin took a blanket and covered her knees, and the gentle light reflected in the dim light. smile.

"Of course, we met at the meeting a few months ago. At that time, my parents' company had some cooperation with Xingyan and invited him to a reception at home. At the reception, I mistook him for someone else and made a fuss We made a little joke, and we met at that time. Later, my mother told me to follow the company staff to work in Xingyan, and we became more and more familiar with each other." Zhang Jianyang picked out the words and filtered out the messy things.If Ms. Lin knew that they started dating, she would be so disappointed.

"A few months ago?" Ms. Lin looked a little puzzled, "Do you mean that you only met after Xiao Yan returned to China?"

"Yes, although I also studied in the United States, unfortunately, we have never met in the United States." Aunt Lin may have misunderstood him, thinking that he was someone Zou Yan knew in the United States.

Ms. Lin nodded: "That's good, when you met Zou Yan, he was mature enough to take good care of you."

Zhang Jianyang said shyly: "Yes, he is very considerate, we get along very well."

"After Xiaoyan confessed to me, it was the first time I heard that he had made friends and brought him home. I was very happy. His father didn't understand him before, and he was forced to go abroad and dare not come back. I thought our mother and son We will be looking at each other across the sea like this forever." Ms. Lin looked at Zhang Jianyang, "Fortunately, someone gave him support so that he could meet you, thank you."

Zhang Jianyang shook his head: "You don't need to thank me. It's a pity that I didn't meet him at that time. It's all thanks to you. Without your understanding, he would have been in more pain at that time."

"In our time, there were many people who advocated bravery and freedom. Everyone yearned for the freedom to pursue what they love, but very few people could do it. Even when you come here, free love is no longer a mountain, but free sexual choice But it is still a ravine. Although Auntie is not young anymore and has never had many free choices, she still respects freedom." Ms. Lin looked at the false fire, her eyes seemed to be immersed in the past years, "Xiaoyan He was restrained a lot when he was a child, and as a mother, I can do nothing about it, so now I cannot deprive him of his right to choose freedom."

After Zhang Jianyang heard it, he couldn't help being moved: "Auntie, you are so kind." He was still young when he came out of the closet, and he didn't have much emotion for his parents' tolerant attitude. At this moment, he suddenly felt the struggle of his parents. hesitated.

"What are you talking about?" Zou Yan came back from the phone call and saw them, the old and the young, looking at each other in front of the fireplace, a little curious.

"Talking about you, come quickly." Zhang Jianyang patted the chair beside him and asked Zou Yan to come over.

Zou Yan walked over, saw his upturned face and bright eyes, couldn't help but hugged him and kissed him, seeing Zhang Jianyang's face flushed red.

"Auntie is still there, what are you doing!"

"Kiss you." Zou Yan kissed again with a smile, walked to the fireplace and turned on the small stereo, and the unique melody of Peking Opera came out of the stereo.

"No need to open today, Xiaoyang is here, let's chat."

"It's okay, Auntie, just listen."

"Look at the king sleeping in the tent with his clothes on. I'm going out of the tent to let go of my sorrows. I walked lightly to the front of the wilderness and stood still. I raised my head suddenly and the moon was clear..." is the famous aria of Farewell My Concubine, Zhang Jianyang He heard it familiarly, and silently opened his mouth to sing along.

"Hey, Xiaoyang can also sing Peking Opera." Ms. Lin looked at his mouth, and it was obvious that he could sing.

"No, no, I only know this short paragraph, and I don't know anything else. When I was in college, I helped my junior to make a performance, and I only learned this paragraph."

Thinking of this experience, Zhang Jianyang was a little embarrassed.At that time, the school girl was holding a design exhibition, and asked him to help make up the appearance of Yuji in Peking Opera to show the charm of Peking Opera in an exhibition hall about Chinese elements. Still put in a lot of effort.I don't know where his foreign friends are poked by his appearance. They all say that he is beautiful, and he was photographed and circulated widely.

"Auntie doesn't have any hobbies at ordinary times, she just listens to singing. If Xiaoyang is interested, she can accompany me to the theater to listen to plays."

Zhang Jianyang hurriedly agreed.

"Mom, it's getting late, we should go back." Zou Yan looked at his watch, "I'll bring Xiaoyang back to accompany you when I have time."

"It's getting late, so don't go back, stay here tonight, don't you still have a car? It won't delay you driving to work tomorrow."

Zou Yan looked at Zhang Jianyang and asked him with his eyes.

Zhang Jianyang nodded: "Auntie and I haven't talked enough yet, just stay here, I'm fine."

The two talked with Ms. Lin for a while, until Aunt Mei came to remind Ms. Lin that it was time to rest, and they also went upstairs to Zou Yan's room.Zhang Jianyang looked towards the balcony, where he was last time and kissed Zou Yan for the first time.He still clearly remembers the trembling and impulse he felt when he jumped off the balcony and fell into the man's arms.He rarely asks for a kiss, but that day, when he saw Zou Yan's open arms, he kissed him without hesitation.Could it be that he was interested in Zou Yan then?

Zhang Jianyang fell into boundless romantic memories, and suddenly a pair of big hands touched his waist, and the man bit his earlobe and said, "Concubine Yu? You have played Concubine Yu before?"

"What's wrong with me playing Concubine Yu? I look pretty good." Zhang Jianyang's ears were itchy from being licked, and he avoided it with a smile.

"When will you pretend to be me too?" Zou Yan pushed him down on the bed, pressing his foreheads together.

"If you don't pretend to be like this, you're still like this. How can you do it?" Zhang Jianyang stood up and dawdled with him, then quickly backed away.
