When I woke up, my son was older than me

Seeing that Ling Tingyun really rolled up his sleeves and was about to clean his room, Xiao Sifan immediately went to grab the other's arm and said, "No, I can do it by myself. And it's going to be dinner soon, you go Sit there and watch TV, or my parents will think I don’t respect guests..." Speaking of this, remembering the other party’s rejection of the term guest, he immediately changed his words, "You."

"Didn't you learn about efficiency in school?"

"what?"

"The efficiency of two people working together to solve a problem is much higher than that of one person. If you want to clean this room alone, the time it takes may require me and my uncle and aunt to wait for you at the time of dinner. .But if the two of us clean together, the time will be cut in half. So which do you think is better for you?"

"That must be the second one...but..." Xiao Sifan just wanted to explain that he didn't need to clean this room. If he didn't plan to clean it at the beginning, it meant that the time spent on subsequent cleaning would simply not exist. , there is no so-called efficiency problem.

But Ling Tingyun didn't give him a chance to explain at all. The mop conjured out of nowhere pointed at Xiao Sifan's feet and dragged, then walked towards his side, "Excuse me."

The mops are all under the heels of people, so it's really embarrassing not to let them.But as soon as he gave up his position, Xiao Sifan felt that something was wrong again. The people in front of him had already started cleaning. How could he watch the other person clean indifferently, so he had to find a rag from the toilet and wipe it up resignedly. thing.

In fact, the room was not very messy, and it could even be said that apart from a small amount of fine dust naturally formed, there were probably only a few strands of hair that fell on the ground.

Xiao Sifan quickly wiped the things in the room with a rag, then threw the rag into the bucket and said, "It's almost there." The whole process lasted less than 10 minutes, and Ling Tingyun didn't realize the beauty of cleaning with the other party at all. , the mop in his hand was snatched by the other party.

"Don't procrastinate, it's clean enough." Perhaps because of the familiarity of the previous acquaintance, the two of them are not as estranged when they talk now.

Ling Tingyun stood still, glanced at his empty hands, and then said, "Your room is very cozy."

The rooms of the Ling family seldom have such a warm feeling, a series of simple European style, full of cold lines, not at all the warm yellow style presented by Xiao Sifan's room.Although the overall color of this room is black and gray, which is common for boys, this black and gray is mixed with many bright colors, which inevitably makes the room more warm.

Plus the stacked children's toys and crib in the corner add life to this room.

"Xiao Yue's things?" Ling Tingyun stepped forward and touched the armrest of the crib.

Xiao Sifan looked at what he said, nodded and said: "Yes. These things were placed in my room before, and after I came back, I packed them up. They were all bought by my parents. It's quite interesting. With that said, he picked up the rattle on the crib and shook it, the smile on his face became more obvious.

"Have you thought about..."

"what?"

Ling Tingyun looked at Xiao Sifan quietly for three seconds, then shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Xiao Sifan felt a little strange, but he didn't follow up and asked, but said: "Your house should have a lot of things from his childhood. I heard that you don't like taking pictures, so do you have any pictures of him when he was young? It should be very interesting." cute."

"En." Ling Tingyun said, "I have a photo collection at home, and I'll show it to you when I have time."

"Okay."

The two agreed to look at Xiao Yue's childhood photos together next time. Although there is still no sense of ambiguity between the two, Xiao Yue is a person who can connect the two very well. will gradually become closer.

Ling Tingyun likes this feeling, and is unwilling to break the current state.

In the end, it was Xiao's mother who called out to eat, and the two of them put their things away and left the door.At the dinner table, Xiao's father and Xiao's mother didn't treat Ling Tingyun as an outsider, and their enthusiasm was comparable to meeting their son who hadn't returned home for a long time.It's a pity that Xiao Yue was missing from this dinner, otherwise the family of five would be more warm.

After dinner, Mother Xiao asked Xiao Sifan to send Ling Tingyun out.

Ling Tingyun's car was parked at the gate of Xiao's house, and Xiao Sifan only needed to send people to the gate.Before getting into the car, Ling Tingyun paused.

"Brother Ling, is there anything else you want to say?" Xiao Sifan asked.

Ling Tingyun said: "What do you think about us? I mean, do you have any thoughts about our future relationship..."

"Isn't it a friend?" Xiao Sifan answered in time, "We've always been friends. We don't have to bear the burden. It was an accident at the beginning, but now it's just an extra result in the accident that makes us two have to connect. Brother Ling , I can guarantee that no matter whether you get married or want to have another child with your wife, I will not interfere. I also said that Xiao Yue is from the Ling family, and I will not rob you, but if you find it troublesome after you get married I can take Xiao Yue over."

"It's a friend..." Ling Tingyun lowered her eyes.

The light flickering in his eyes dimmed a lot, and the little bit of confidence that had just been raised was instantly wiped out in this state.He didn't have any expectations at first, it was just a momentary illusion that made him think that he had some hope, but friends are good, at least they are friends.

People who are so wanton in the mall are like kittens who dare not stick out their paws in front of Xiao Sifan.

Ling Tingyun grabbed the handle of the car and opened the door. After the car started, he watched Xiao Sifan go away from the rearview mirror.He suddenly cheered up again, even if he was a friend, as long as the other party was still alone at this moment, he still had a chance.

If he gave up so soon, he would not be the one who was willing to wait for the other party for 18 years.

Back home, Xiao Sifan hadn't had time to digest all the things that happened suddenly, Xiao's mother pulled Xiao Sifan aside and asked: "Xiao Ling is gone?"

"Well, let's go." To be honest, Xiao Sifan still hasn't gotten used to the intimacy between Ling Tingyun and his parents.

Mother Xiao didn't care whether Xiao Sifan had adapted well or not, she just asked, "What do you think about you and Xiao Ling? Although Xiao Ling's age is a bit different from your appearance, you two have a child anyway. I think Xiao Ling is a good kid, if you..."

"Mom, I just graduated from high school." His tone sounded like a matchmaker on a blind date.Whose mother's son just graduated from high school and wanted to sell people out, and why did the mother accept that the son's other half is still a man so unsurprisingly?

Xiao Sifan was still surprised by this matter.

How did his mother accept everything so quickly and calmly, and still treat Ling Tingyun as her own son?

"What's wrong with graduating from high school." Xiao's mother said, "You are already 36 in real age, don't justify yourself here under the guise of graduating from high school. And university is legally recognized to be able to get married. What do you think? Ling is not easy, I have been waiting for you for 18 years."

"Speaking of which, your father and I were able to get over the pain of your disappearance thanks to Xiao Ling. We have already regarded him as our own son for so many years. What your father and I mean is that if you are interested in Xiao Ling, You two are justifiable, if you are not interested, let Xiaoling find the next house as soon as possible, so as not to waste time on you."

What's a waste of time?

After tonight, Xiao Sifan realized that he had been relegated to the second place in his father's mother's heart. Hearing his mother's enthusiasm for thinking about each other everywhere, even his own mother might not be able to match it.And what's the use of asking him about this kind of thing alone, he didn't see the depth of Ling Tingyun's "love" for him.

Look at her tone, she waited for him for 18 years, it made him feel sour.

What kind of filters and glasses did the mother wear to be able to look at people as they wanted, how could Brother Renling like him, what the hell was he thinking.

Xiao Sifan felt that it was because of Xiao Yue that Ling Tingyun took care of his parents by the way. As for why he waited for 18 years, although he also wondered why the other party had not been married for so many years, but thinking about it, it was impossible for him to wait because of a stranger. 18 years.

If it wasn't for today's dinner, he might not know who Ling Tingyun is until now.

Didn't they know each other before?

"Sifan... Sifan... did you listen to me, kid?"

"Understood. Mom, I think you're worrying a little too much." Xiao Sifan shrugged, as if he didn't particularly believe Xiao's mother's words.

Xiao's mother knocked on Xiao Sifan's head angrily and said, "You child. What I told you is true, don't believe it. It looks like you don't have any feelings for Xiao Ling. Your father and I are thinking about it. Let's find a partner for Xiao Ling, don't let people see you right, and you don't want to."

"How is it possible." Xiao Sifan sneered, and then said, "Brother Renling doesn't have parents, it's not good for you to act like this, and there must be a reason why he hasn't married for so many years. The person he likes, you are relying on the face of the elders to let him go on a blind date, what does he think in his heart?"

Xiao's mother glanced at him resentfully, and said, "Silly boy!" After she finished speaking, she went to talk to Xiao's father, leaving Xiao Sifan puzzled.

Isn't he just trying to persuade his mother with kind words, why does his mother still dislike him.

Speaking of which, when Ling Tingyun left before, he asked clearly in front of him about the relationship between the two and the subsequent development. After he said he was a friend, the other party didn't refute, and the lack of rebuttal meant tacit consent.That's why I watched too many fucking TV shows and thought about it.

Or maybe the other party's taking care of his mother for so many years really made his mother treat the other party as her own son.

This is also very good, so as to save his mother from worrying about him and worrying about him.

Xiao Sifan smiled and blinked, went back to his room, lay on the bed and began to let go of his mind.Originally, there were signs of falling asleep, but in a daze, he always felt that someone was blowing in front of his ear, and he was chanting a voice...

what sound?

He listened carefully, it was a name.

What name..."Sifan...Sifan...Xiao Sifan...I like you..."

He woke up instantly, and then his ears turned red. The tone of the voice just now was clearly Ling Tingyun's voice.

Xiao Sifan got up immediately, went to the table to get a glass of water to drink, and shook his head while drinking. He was really brainwashed by his mother, and he was hallucinating!

Brother Ling likes him, how is it possible?
