to deceive

Mother always feels better when she faces her grandson, so Hou Chisu went to the kitchen to find Hou Shujian.

Hou Shujian asked while cooking: "Why did you go out suddenly? Did Mom say something to you?"

"Mom didn't say anything to me." Hou Chisu stood by the sink, washed his hands, and ate a piece of shredded pork directly from the plate, "I just asked your son if you have anything close recently Uncles and aunts."

Hou Shujian's expression remained unchanged, and it took him a long time to reply: "What the hell is our mother thinking..."

"Before An Chen answered, I dragged him out."

"Thanks."

"But he told me about someone."

Hou Shujian knew who Hou Anchen was talking about without thinking, but he still asked casually, "Oh? Who?"

"Ms. Jiang. It should be the one I saw last night."

"It's him." After the dishes were cooked, Hou Shujian stopped talking, which seemed to indicate that the conversation had come to an end.

But Hou Chisu didn't feel that he had finished speaking, and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"You know what our mother wants to ask, but An Chen is young, so it's normal for him not to understand."

Hou Chisu hesitated to speak.Hou Shujian knew what he wanted to ask, but Hou Shujian just didn't bother to explain to him that he and Teacher Jiang were just friends, and Teacher Jiang didn't mean anything else to him.Because there is no way to explain this matter, the facts are there, Jiang Xiaoran just wants to pursue himself, and Hou Shujian doesn't want to lie, so he can only keep silent.

When mentioning his sexual orientation before, Hou Shujian always said that what happened back then did not change his sexual orientation. This sentence is completely true, because Hou Shujian was born gay.Even if he wants to lie, Hou Shujian only uses vague truths to lead others to misunderstand, instead of bluntly telling a lie like "I am a straight man".As for the reason why Hou Shujian did this, it is probably because after the truth is discovered in the future, it can be used as the capital for his sophistry.

With the dishes on the table, the whole family enjoyed themselves happily and bustlingly. Occasionally meeting Hou Chisu's gaze, Hou Shujian looked away without any trace.

When she lowered her head, Hou Shujian couldn't help but think that she is really a selfish and cunning scum.

Ten

Before Hou Shujian went on a blind date at noon the next day, Hou Chisu strongly demanded to drive him to the appointment, but Hou Shujian ruthlessly refused.

"It only takes more than ten minutes to get there. It may take you half an hour by car including the traffic jam and finding a parking space." Hou Shujian said that it is not an exaggeration at all. The coffee shop of the blind date happened to be located in a bustling business district. It's better to go fast.Another reason for the refusal was that in the past Hou Chisu would not leave after delivery, and would always find a place by himself to either eavesdrop or secretly observe him and the woman.

Even a person with a strong psychological quality like Hou Shujian also felt a little awkward.So this time Hou Shujian firmly rejected Hou Chisu's request.

Arriving at the location 10 minutes earlier, Hou Shujian tugged on the collar of his shirt, but still undid the top button.After staying at home for too long, I always wear clothes for comfort. Today, I dressed a bit formally for a blind date, with a shirt, trousers and leather shoes. Hou Shujian just felt uncomfortable.The slightly long hair was not tied into a braid casually this time, but was styled by Hou's mother.

Hou Shujian looked in the mirror before going out, and felt that the person in the mirror was ten years older than him in the usual T-shirt and sneakers.

But Hou's mother was very happy: "Finally like an adult, who would believe you when you said you were 28 with a child?" Seeing Hou Shujian still wanting to talk, Hou's mother patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Blind date The little girl still hopes to see a mature and stable man. After all, blind dates are all about getting married. If you see the literary youth with pigtails before you, you must not rest assured—by the way, I almost forgot, Take off your earrings now!"

Hou Shujian pushed his glasses, feeling as if his body had changed.The heroine of the blind date is called Linz. Hou Shujian recalled all the things about Linz mentioned in the paper, and began to think about what excuse he would find to refuse this time if the other party had no objection.

Linz arrived 5 minutes early, Hou Shujian got up and said hello, the two of them briefly introduced a few words, Hou Shujian first handed over the menu for the other party to order.Hou Shujian quietly looked at Linz. She was prettier in person than in the photos, and the photos couldn't tell, but after meeting her in person, Hou Shujian found that she looked a bit like a person.Hou Shujian smiled, and there was an excellent reason.

Because Linz looks somewhat similar to Fang Meiche.

Although there was no play in the end, Hou Shujian still tried his best to make himself appear as sincere as possible. After all, he was the one who asked for a blind date, and he should have a better attitude. Moreover, Hou Shujian has always respected and loved women, let alone the one in front of him. This one is still his blind date.

The two chatted fairly harmoniously, but it is estimated that Linz also felt Hou Shujian's not-so-obvious refusal. Before leaving, he smiled and said, "There should be no need for us to meet again, right?"

"Well, this blind date ended in failure."

Linz narrowed his eyes, "I see that you don't look like you want to succeed at all. But it has nothing to do with me. See you later."

Linz left first, while Hou Shujian sat there and finished his coffee, beckoning to pay the bill.After leaving the coffee shop, Shujian rushed home almost non-stop, because he really wanted to change out of his clothes.The sleeves of the dark blue shirt are half rolled up and paired with black trousers. Hou Shujian thinks it's too fucking hot... In fact, Hou Shujian usually likes to wear black clothes, but it may be because the style is not used to it. I even hate the fact that it absorbs heat.

Hou Shujian had just stepped out of the air-conditioned coffee shop and was about to turn into a puddle of butter under the scorching October sun, so he could only speed up his pace and go home as soon as possible.The slightly long hair covered the ears and it was extremely hot, and the rubber band that Hou Shujian was carrying was also taken away by Hou's mother. Hou Shujian could only stretch out his hand and forcefully brush the broken hair back, although it will fall back soon, anyway. Refreshing for a while.

After entering the community, Hou Shujian practically trotted all the way home. As soon as he entered the air-conditioned room, Hou Shujian felt comfortable. When his mother asked him how he looked, he replied with a pleasant face: "I am not liked."

After listening to many similar answers for so many years, Hou’s mother is very calm now, sitting on the sofa with her laptop in her hands and not looking back, “There is no food at home, let’s go buy some food and come back to make dinner.”

Hou Shujian answered casually: "Observe the order." Go upstairs to change clothes first.

Hou Anchen just woke up from a nap, lay on the bed, stared and blinked, and asked, "Dad, how about the blind date?"

Hou Shujian squatted beside the bed and replied, "That aunt and I felt that we were not suitable for each other, so we failed."

Hou Anchen rubbed his eyes and became a little more awake. He looked at Hou Shujian and said, "If I have a new mother, will you be happier, Dad?"

Hou Shujian didn't know how her ten-year-old son thought of this question, but felt that children nowadays understand it very well.He thought for a moment, and replied: "Now Dad's happiness is all in you alone. As long as you are happy, I feel that this family is complete. Also, Dad wants to tell you one thing, you can't do it." Tell anyone, even if grandparents and uncles ask you, you can't tell them."

Hou Anchen nodded, his eyes sparkling and full of seriousness: "I won't say it."

"I can't find you a new mother."

After hearing this, Hou Anchen was stunned for a long time.

Hou Shujian's words are vague, and I can't guarantee that Hou Anchen can understand, anyway... as long as I have conveyed what I want to convey.

Hou Anchen moved his body on the bed, and asked cautiously: "What about the new father?"

... Son, you know too much, Dad is very pleased.

Hou Shujian was defeated, leaving behind Hou Anchen who was still confused, and went out to buy vegetables.

The neighborhood where Hou's family lives is much higher grade than Hou Shujian's small house, and there is no vegetable market nearby. If you want to buy vegetables, you have to go to the supermarket, and the nearest supermarket is still in that business district.Hou Shujian changed into a completely different outfit and embarked on the same route. This time, due to psychological effects, Hou Shujian really didn't feel as uncomfortable as when he came back.

The supermarket in the afternoon is not the most crowded, but there is still a long queue at the cash register.Hou Shujian pushed the trolley and waited behind. Just as he took out the phone from his pocket, it rang in his palm.

It's an unknown number.

Hou Shujian picked it up, and as soon as he said "Hello", an energetic voice came from the opposite side, "Mr. Hou!"

Hou Shujian smiled: "It's Teacher Jiang, have you arrived in City D yet?"

"Well, it will be noon. This is my friend's mobile phone number. My mobile phone is out of battery. Uh... what is Mr. Hou doing now?"

"The checkout line at Walmart."

"Wal-Mart? Then I should be upstairs from you. My friends and I eat at KFC on the first floor... Afternoon tea, well, I watched them eat."

friend?It should be a friend of the Jiang Band. Thinking of the Shen Hai Band, Hou Shujian asked casually: "I forgot to ask before. The band you mentioned has an event, is it a concert or something?"

"No, I came here because the band members celebrate their birthdays. We get together almost every November, but they do have a small concert in City D on November [-]. Are you still in City D, Mr. Hou on the [-]th?"

Hou Shujian originally planned to leave on the [-]th, but it seems that Jiang Xiaoran should invite him to the concert...

"
