Online Games: Light and Dust

The Lin family's house is different from Cheng Xi's imagination.

It is not so exaggerated that the floor is full of antiques, nor is it full of chemical instruments, but a complete set of Chinese furniture, a watery huanghuali, and a large eight-leaf screen are used as partitions, with elegant silk paintings of flowers and birds inlaid on it. .Many Chinese-style furniture on the market are complicated and exquisite, but in fact they are inferior. The ancient Chinese aesthetics emphasizes an artistic conception.

Cheng Xi was wearing a coat with snow on his shoulders. Lin's house had a wooden floor. Mother Lin brought him slippers: "There are hangers in the living room."

Cheng Xi has never been so respectful in her life, she quickly took off her coat, and Mama Lin reached out to pick it up, Cheng Xi quickly declined: "Let me let it go."

"Lin Yu, go get a towel." Mother Lin called Lin Yu.

Cheng Xi was sitting on the sofa of the Lin family—it was said to be a sofa, but it was actually a low couch. It was an embroidered bedding, with luxuriant and elegant patterns. There is warmth in it.

Cheng Xi turned her head and saw Lin Yuzheng standing in front of the hanger with a serious face, wiping her coat with a towel.Because he was at home, he wore a white rabbit fur sweater and lost a lot of weight. He wore soft slippers and focused on wiping the snow off his clothes. This scene made him feel warm.

"Drink tea." Mother Lin put a steaming cup of tea in front of him.

"Thank you, Auntie." Cheng Xi took a sip of the teacup respectfully. Although he didn't grow up with his parents, Shen Ze's family was well educated. The young man's slender fingers rested leisurely on the official kiln porcelain cup. Even after taking a sip of the tea, Yong Rong remained calm and composed.

Mother Lin sat down opposite him.

"I don't know how to make tea, I'm afraid I'll spoil the good tea." Mother Lin looked at him carefully.Her mother's family is from Sichuan and Sichuan, and she is a beautiful woman raised in the beautiful mountains and rivers. She has been soaked in antiques since she was young, with 5000 years of cultural accumulation. Although she is much more sophisticated than the other two members of the Lin family, the values ​​​​in her heart are actually It is also far from the world.

"Auntie's tea is very good." Cheng Xi praised without conscience: "Cheng Xi is really rude to visit on New Year's Eve."

"It doesn't matter. You are Xiaoyu's friend. It's rare to come to the door. Stay here for dinner at night." Mother Lin's attitude is still alienated despite being polite: "Xiaoyu usually talks less, and hasn't talked to us much. you."

Cheng Xi looked respectful: "I had a misunderstanding with Xiaoyu some time ago, and today I am here to apologize."

Lin Yu wore glasses and walked back and forth cautiously behind the two of them. Mother Lin beckoned to him: "Xiao Yu, come here."

Lin Yu sat down lightly.

He is not a very confident person, especially not good at dealing with such situations. Even when he sat down, he was still a little nervous, staring at Cheng Xi's toes.

Cheng Xi restrained her desire to reach out and touch his head.

"Xiao Yu is here, if you have anything to say, you can talk about it." Lin's mother stood up: "I'll go see what's going on in the kitchen..."

"Auntie." Cheng Xi stopped her: "I think Lin Yu may not understand what I said tonight, I don't want him to make any decisions without understanding, please stay, if you can If so, I hope my uncle can listen to it too."

Mother Lin glanced at her son who was burying his head.

"Okay, then I'll listen to what you want to say." Mother Lin sat down and said, "As for his father, Xiaoyu can't understand, and his father can't understand even more. I'll explain to him later."

Cheng Xi stretched out his hand and held Lin Yu's hand, Lin Yu instinctively withdrew his hand, but Cheng Xi's attitude was very firm, Lin Yu looked at Cheng Xi in surprise, and was relieved by his firm eyes .

"My name is Cheng Xi, and I am a student at the same school as Xiaoyu. My university major is business management or international trade, which I choose randomly. My father is Cheng Zejun, and my mother is Lin Chenbi. People call her Mrs. Qin. I was fostered in my mother's friend's house when I was a child, and I was an illegitimate child. "

Mother Lin was a little surprised.

The name Cheng Zejun is too resonant. She often travels to Beijing because of collecting antiques. In my impression, she is a middle-aged man who is as majestic as a sculpture. In my impression, the facial features are indeed very similar to the young man in front of me, especially the eyebrows and eyes. Rubbing down from a mold.

"For the sake of protecting me, my parents have minimized their contact with me over the years. I didn't meet my father for the first time until I was 15 years old." Although he was rebellious like a hedgehog in front of his parents, he used the most The cryptic words concealed the negligence of my parents: "I personally like the financial industry very much. I used to play stocks for a while before I went to college. Because the movement was a bit loud, my father met me in person and reminded me to keep a low profile in the future."

This is probably the first time Cheng Xi has mentioned her life experience so frankly in front of others.

There is no resentment, no anger, and he may have felt aggrieved when he was a child, but today, he has very low requirements for his parents, as long as they don't care about him for the rest of their lives.

He doesn't feel ashamed, or sad, time is indeed the best medicine.Or, what makes people feel warmer than time is the way Lin Yu looks at him at this moment.

He is really a kind person, and he likes him too much, so when he heard these words, Lin Yu's expression was sadder than his, and he gradually used his strength to hold his hand.Cheng Xi didn't want to mention these things before, not only because he was afraid that Lin Yu would be involved, but also because he was afraid that Lin Yu would show pity on his face.He hoped that Lin Yu would always be innocent and upright, and not need to know that there are so many helplessness in this world, so many things that can ruin a person's life.He hoped that Lin Yu would always be the little science student who plausibly told him that "love is a very good thing".

There are many ugly and cold things in this world, he has seen too many, so he hopes that Lin Yu will never touch them in his life.

"Then what are your plans for your life?" Mother Lin asked, no matter how tragic Cheng Xi's story was, what she cared most about was whether he would hurt Lin Yu.

"I didn't bother to think about it before. After I met Lin Yu, I thought it was time to think about it. So I cut off contact with Lin Yu first, and then I discussed with my parents for a while." Cheng Xi put this The quarrels, threats, imprisonment, suppression, and even the assassination in Mrs. Qin's private house in the past few months were all attributed to the word "negotiation", which was an understatement and summed up in one stroke: "Now my parents have decided to let me develop freely."

Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Xi thought it was funny and patted his head.

Mother Lin saw it all.

"If, as you said, there is no problem with the personal safety of you and Lin Yu, Auntie will not object to you being together." She is not an uninformed academic like Lin's father, and she knows what Cheng Xi's identity means. What does it mean: "But if Lin Yu's safety is threatened, or the situation changes..."

"I will carry it with all my strength." Cheng Xi replied him calmly: "I used to want to wait until everything has stabilized and nothing happened for two or three years before coming to Lin Yu. But my father told me that no one can replace others To make a decision, I should let Lin Yu know."

Although, Lin Yu may not understand it.

"Xiao Yu, what do you say?" Mother Lin had some understanding of Lin Yu's ability to understand: "Do you understand?"

Lin Yu looked a little anxious.

"I only understand the part about illegitimate children."

Cheng Xi was expecting his reaction, reached out and touched his head, just about to say it's okay, Lin Yu clenched his fists, as if he had made a big decision, then raised his eyes and looked directly at him.

"But, I have something to ask you."

Lin Yu usually has a gentle personality, and it was rare that when she pointed directly at people's hearts, Mother Lin listened to the words.

Cheng Xi frowned: "What?"

"The last time you said on the balcony of Nan Zhongyuan's house, did you mean that you liked me?" Lin Yu said something inexplicable, but his expression was more serious than that of the top physics experiment: "In the past few months, I I have been thinking about the reason why we broke up. You didn’t like me before, I liked you, but we can be together. I still liked you when we broke up. I used the control variable method to calculate whether it was because you liked me, so we should Break up with me?"

"You said that you don't fall in love with the person you like, and you don't fall in love with the person you like. I think what you said just now is the reason. I have always liked you. You broke up with me because you liked me. ?"

Lin's mother was distracted by this bunch of words, she got up consciously and went to the kitchen to see Lin's father.

Lin Yu stared stubbornly into Cheng Xi's eyes. In the past days, he had been so gentle that Cheng Xi forgot that the little science student in front of him was actually asking the bottom of the casserole and not getting an accurate answer. A gifted physics student who never stops.

Cheng Xi laughed.

"That said, it's actually okay."

"So Xiaoyu, you still don't understand what I just said?"

"I figured it out 20.00%."

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have waited for the injury to heal before coming back."

"Have you been hurt? Where?"

"It's healed. I was already prepared to be beaten, or scolded, so I'll come back after the injury is better, lest you can't do it."

……

"Actually, I don't think I have a problem with my ability to understand social rules, but rather a slow understanding speed. Like what you said in Nan Zhongyuan's restaurant last time, I have understood it now. Calculate according to this rate, and wait until next year Then, I should be able to understand."

"Ah."

"If I want to hit you at that time, I will remind you one month in advance."
