Euthanasia

Liu Zhiwei's culinary skills are good, and he prepares as many dishes as he buys, which is not as frugal as before.Jon had already prepared in front of the dining table and helped set out the plates, knives, forks and chopsticks.

Liu Zhiwei said: "Wait a minute, there is still a long time."

Jon was about to ask why Liu Zhiwei wanted to eat so much this time, when he heard the sound of fireworks and firecrackers outside.

Jon was taken aback: "What happened?! Isn't guns banned in China?!"

"It's firecrackers." Liu Zhiwei glanced outside and said, "Although setting off fireworks and firecrackers has been banned in the city, someone still set them off quietly."

Jon opened his eyes wide and whistled: "Cool—"

While something was cooking in the pot, Liu Zhiwei turned on the TV, randomly tuned to a channel broadcasting previous years' Spring Festival Gala, and turned up the volume.

Jon asked, "What's this?"

"A must-have program every year. This is a review of the past. Our New Year's Eve dinner can be eaten until the early hours of the morning, so the dishes will be served continuously. It used to be the only extravagant time of the year, but it has been downplayed now," Liu Zhiwei said. The program is run by China Central Television, and Chinese people usually watch it during Chinese New Year.”

Jon stared at the screen and was temporarily attracted by the program on it.What is playing now is a martial arts show, accompanied by majestic music, which can make people feel excited.

Liu Zhiwei took a look and went back to stare at the pot. Jon kept applauding over there: "Oh my god! It's amazing!"

Liu Zhiwei turned down the range hood, and listened to the sound of the TV outside and Jon's continuous cheers, slightly fascinated.

In the past ten years, he has lived various years, but he has never felt the way he does now.

He used to live with Pei Ze, and most of Pei Ze would go home during the Chinese New Year.After he left, almost all the people in the rental house returned to their hometowns, and occasionally one or two people continued to live in that rental house for a few years.But their Chinese New Year has nothing to do with Liu Zhiwei.

Liu Zhiwei usually lies in his small room, cooks a bowl of noodles for himself, and half-lys on the bed to watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV.

It was cold in the room, so he would cover himself with a blanket, and while he was watching, he would use his mobile phone to send New Year greetings to those people in the entertainment industry he knew, big and small, who might not remember him at all.You have to rack your brains for each item, be careful not to send it in groups, and try to make the other party think of yourself as a useful trick in the new year.

He didn't know how many years he had been like this.Even for a few years, he would have a conditioned disgust when he saw the Chinese New Year.

This year is a little bit special.

He met Jon when he was on the verge of losing his dream, got married inexplicably when he was desperate, and became popular within a few months, bought a new house, and had a new network of people, everything seemed bright and bright, All obscurity is swept away.

He wondered countless times whether he was dreaming, but now, standing in the kitchen filled with oily smoke, listening to the firecrackers outside and the sound from the TV, he felt very at ease.

None of this is a dream.

He married a foreign man named Jon Williams this year. They have a new house. He has a new name called Zeo. I also have my own fans.

His husband likes to let him call himself "Jonny", the other is a disabled person who may or may not be able to stand up for the rest of his life.The other party used to be a depressed patient who wanted to be euthanized, but he was also just an ordinary person. Now he is sitting in their living room, watching the Chinese Spring Festival Gala, wondering if he understands the Chinese in the TV program, and exclaiming frequently.

There are only two of them, but Liu Zhiwei no longer has the sense of desolation in his heart that he feels every New Year.

All of this is new to Jon and also brand new to Liu Zhiwei.

— it was the best New Years he had ever had in his life.

Liu Zhiwei covered the cooked vegetables, turned off the heat and kept silent, took out a stack of red paper from the things he bought, and said to Jon: "'Do as the Romans do in the country', the task of pasting window grilles and couplets will be handed over to Jon. Here you go."

Xu Ting and Xu Yuan parked their car in the parking space in front of their house.They didn't get out of the car immediately after turning off the engine, and sat in the car for a while.

Xu Ting said, "How is it? Let's go?"

Wishing seemed to feel very cold, put his hands between his legs and covered them, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm thinking about..."

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Ting knew that going home this time would be difficult for making a wish. He hadn't returned home for several years, and he had to rely on Xu Ting to deliver things every time. When his father was sick and hospitalized, he didn't go to make a wish. He only asked Xu Ting to send him health care Taste.As a result, Dad's ward was changed the next day, and the single ward was still in Xu Ting's name.When Xu Ting visited once, he stood in the ward and looked down. When he saw the wish, he stood downstairs and talked to the attending doctor. After saying a few words, he saw Xu Ting above and ran away.

He was afraid that Xu Ting would drag him up to meet his father.

Xu Ting knew that he shouldn't push the wish too hastily, so he asked this question patiently.

Make a wish and said slowly: "...I'm thinking about whether to rush to the toilet immediately or call my parents first when I get home."

Xu Ting: "..."

Wishing and said worriedly: "You said what if I was kicked out immediately if they saw it? Are there public toilets around here?"

Xu Ting locked the car door and said, "Get out of the car."

Xu Yuan reluctantly got out of the car, and together with Xu Ting unloaded all the big and small bags of New Year's goods in the car.

Xu Ting went to the door first to ring the doorbell, and Xu Zhi followed behind him.

The door opened quickly.The middle-aged woman opened the door, and when she saw Xu Ting, a smile appeared on her face, and then her eyes moved to Xu Zhi who was standing behind.

It was already dark, and the lights in the house were projected, which could illuminate Xu Ting outside the door, but drew a dividing line between Yin and Yang in front of the wishing feet.

Wishing is like an abandoned puppy, standing outside in desperation, not knowing whether to step forward or not to step forward.

"Mom." Xu Ting called out.

The middle-aged woman recovered from her stupefaction, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she said, "Wan Yuan is back."

Xu Yuan hesitated and called out: "...Mom."

The mother of the two brothers squatted down, as if greeting a child, and said to the wishing under the steps: "Come here quickly, I haven't seen Mom for a long time."

Wishing to step forward to the ground with shoulders and hands in hand, half a foot stepped into the bright place, lowered his head and said, "Mom... I am 1.8 meters tall."

The mother stood up and took two steps forward, hugging the wishing into her arms, and the whole person of the wishing, like Xu Ting, entered the light.Mother's expression and tone were normal, but her arms were getting tighter and tighter.

Wishing to force his eyes wide open, he tried his best to suppress the moisture in his eyes.

"Hey... taller and stronger," Xu's mother let go of him as she spoke, and touched his cheeks with both hands, "I'm also haggard."

Wishing pursed his lips, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.He was so reserved that he was not at all like Xu Ting usually saw him.

"Come in, don't stick it outside." Xu's mother pushed the two big boys inside, and Xu Ting asked as he walked, "Where's Dad?"

"It's in the study upstairs, I just called him."

Wishing for a moment, he suddenly unloaded the things in his hand, and rushed to the bathroom in a few strides.Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the bathroom door, he saw a middle-aged man coming down from the stairs. He made a wish and met him face to face. He said "Dad" in his throat. The wish was like a cat seeing a tiger. He rushed into the bathroom and closed the door with a "bang" in front of his father.

his dad:"……"

Xu Ting: "..." He decided to put his father's portrait on his door in the future.

While making a wish in the toilet, while solving physical problems, he shivered and considered the feasibility of huddling in the bathroom all night.But Xu Ting didn't give him a chance at all, and knocked on the door outside.

"Are you urinating frequently? Why isn't it better?"

"You have kidney failure!" Xu Yuan yelled inside, but didn't dare to let him come out.He washed his hands and did mental work for himself in front of the mirror.

Xu Ting wanted to keep knocking on the door, but the phone in his hand rang.He glanced around and saw that it was Liu Zhiwei calling.

It should be time for dinner at this point, Xu Ting could probably think of Liu Zhiwei's intention to call New Year's greetings, he picked up the phone and walked to a secluded corner.

"Brother Xu," Liu Zhiwei's voice came from the other end, "Are you home yet?"

Xu Ting smiled: "Here we are, we are about to eat, how about you?"

There was the sound of the TV on Liu Zhiwei's side, and a string of English words.Xu Ting couldn't hear clearly and guessed that it was Liu Zhiwei's "cousin".

"It's ready," Liu Zhiwei smiled, "It's nothing to do, just make a phone call to say hello, thank you Brother Xu for taking care of me these past few months. I don't know what to say... I can only say thank you."

Xu Ting smiled and said, "This is my job. The company sends me money, so you don't need to thank me."

The two talked to each other about their encouragement for work, and Liu Zhiwei suddenly said, "Brother Xu... has his brother returned this year?"

Xu Ting was taken aback.He once talked about this with Liu Zhiwei in the car, and he didn't know why Liu Zhiwei asked at this time.

Xu Ting glanced at the bathroom door, his eyes softened, and he said, "Go home."

Liu Zhiwei's voice seemed a little excited: "Is it really home? What about your parents? Are they still getting along?"

Xu Ting didn't know why Liu Zhiwei cared so much about wishing to go home. After thinking for a while, he still couldn't figure out what contact Xu Zhiwei had with Liu Zhiwei, so he took it as concern for his family and said in a low voice: "My mother is fine, she I'm quite happy to see my brother go back, after all, I haven't seen him for several years. But now my dad—" Xu Ting looked at the man at the dining table who was reading the newspaper with a serious face, "I feel a little worried. But he didn't turn his back on the spot, It has improved a lot.”

Liu Zhiwei was so surprised and excited that he could only let out a long cry: "Really—"

Xu Ting also felt considerate of Liu Zhiwei's concern for his family, and then chatted a little more before hanging up the phone.

Wishing was quietly opening the bathroom door, looking around, sticking behind the wall like a spy.

Xu Ting stepped forward and grabbed his wrist and dragged him to the dining table.

Make a wish and stand with your head down against the wall like a child who has done something wrong.

Father Xu put the newspaper in his hand heavily on the table, snorted coldly, and was about to say something when Mother Xu brought out a bowl of soup from the kitchen and placed it heavily in front of Father Xu.

The man opened his mouth, and finally said, "You know how to come back."

The opening is neither a hit nor a wishing inclination, this is already a surprise first prize.

Xu Ting pushed him to make a wish, pushed him to the edge of the dining table and sat down, and said, "Dad, you haven't seen him, he can see you often."

Xu's mother untied her apron and said, "Really!"

"When Dad was sick, he used binoculars in the opposite building every day, and he also changed the ward. You all know that I have no money." Xu Ting rolled his eyes at Xu Wish when he said the last sentence.

"I didn't bring a telescope..." Xu Wish subconsciously retorted, but Xu Ting stomped on her foot from below.

"In the past, he also bought the New Year's goods. I didn't dare to say it because I was afraid of being scolded by my father... But this time, he also bought it."

"Why do you want him to bring New Year's goods? Bring a girl—" Xu's father just opened his mouth aggressively, and Xu Ting and Xu's mother drank together: "Dad!"

"his dad!"

Father Xu fell silent.

Xu Ting glanced at making a wish with his head down, and said, "Dad, I told you a long time ago, this cannot be changed, it is born."

Dad Xu didn't speak, and didn't look at the wish again. Mother Xu gave chopsticks to the wish, and the family began to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.

The Xu family's style is strict discipline, and they didn't eat too late even for the New Year's Eve dinner. After the meal, Xu Ting dragged the wish into the wishing room and said, "See, everything is there, and they haven't moved."

Wishing slowly stepped forward and touched the desk.

"Mom comes to clean your and my bedroom every day, even if we leave here," Xu Ting said with his hands in his hands, "they didn't continue to interact with relatives after you came out, and it was only the three of us every year."

Wishing stood in the middle of the room without saying a word.

Xu Ting looked at him for a while, then exited the room and closed the door for him: "Think about it yourself, don't be a coward."

After Liu Zhiwei finished talking with Xu Ting, he thought for a long time there until Jon called him.Jon was learning how to shake his phone, but nothing came out after shaking for a long time.

Liu Zhiwei put a red envelope in front of him and said, "It's for you."

"What is this?" Jon opened the red envelope, "A New Year's gift?"

"New Year's money," Liu Zhiwei said, "is money, but it is also a gift."

Jon immediately said, "But I'm not prepared."

"You have given me enough things," Liu Zhiwei smiled, "too much."

Jon thought for a while and turned on the phone.Immediately afterwards, Liu Zhiwei heard the sound of a purse from his mobile phone.

"I just learned, this can also be used as lucky money, right?"

Liu Zhiwei's e-bank has an extra [-] yuan.

Liu Zhiwei: "..."

He still wanted to say something, but his mobile phone was bombarded by a large number of text messages one after another, and many people sent him messages one after another, which had never happened before.There are many people in Liu Zhiwei's mobile phone column "No need to return", and many are from the "Personality Game" program group. Liu Zhiwei opened Zhang Chengqian's news immediately when he saw Zhang Chengqian's news.

After the incident between Zhang Chengqian and Bai He, Zhang Chengqian hadn't contacted Liu Zhiwei. This was the first time he had given Liu Zhiwei any news in a long time.

The message is also very simple, in addition to the regular New Year greetings, there are only two words "thank you".

Liu Zhiwei was deliberating his reply when Zhang Chengqian sent another message: "It's time."

it's time?

Liu Zhiwei froze for a moment.What does Zhang Chengqian mean...Could it be...Liu Zhiwei contacted what happened before, and gradually had a guess.Could it be that Zhang Chengqian has some key evidence that Bai He stole his achievements? !

Liu Zhiwei was fidgeting anxiously, but no matter how many messages he sent, Zhang Chengqian never replied.

Just after the countdown to the Chinese New Year, Zhang Chengqian posted a Weibo on a large account, which contained some intercepted recordings.

No matter whether they were reading the Spring Festival Gala, blessings, or just strolling around on the Internet, everyone who followed Zhang Chengqian's Baihe incident all had their jaws dropped in shock——

The first melon in the new year - really big!

At this moment, Liu Zhiwei, who was waiting for a reply, gave up, watched the countdown to 0 with Jon, and blasted a bunch of fireworks at each other.

"Happy New Year, Zeo!" Jon said in Chinese.

"Happy New Year," Liu Zhiwei looked at Jon and said in English, "Mr.Williams."

Jon blinked and looked down, only to see that Liu Zhiwei was wearing the ring on his finger, and the side with "Mr. Williams" was turned out.
