Solstice Secrets

Without driving, the two walked out of the side door of the community one after the other. Zhuang Zhou even greeted the security guard with a smile, looking in a good mood.

This is the clearest weather in winter, the sky above is a bright blue, the air is dry and refreshing, and the sun feels warm on the face.

A relaxed expression slowly appeared on Ling Dongzhi's face, he looked at the smiling man beside him, and began to feel a little embarrassed, "I just want to take a walk, you don't need to accompany me. "

"I'm willing." Zhuang Zhou had an expression on his face that only a child would be fooling around, while no one around was paying attention, he quietly leaned over and took Ling Dongzhi's hand, "I can't bear not to see you. "

Ling Dongzhi felt that Zhuang Zhou was very childish.Unfortunately, he felt that he had also become naive, and when he faced the naive Zhuang Zhou, he felt a little joy in his heart.

"Where are you going?" Zhuang Zhou shook the hands they held together, "This is not your way home."

"I don't want to go home." Ling Dongzhi squinted his eyes to look at the sky, "I want to go for a walk."

Zhuang Zhou said without hesitation, "I'll walk with you."

Ling Dongzhi tilted his head to look at him, a sly look flashed in his eyes, "Then I decide where to go, don't regret it."

Zhuang Zhou patted his chest with pride, "Gentlemen, be brave. It's only two steps away, so there's nothing to regret."

Ling Dongzhi let go of his hand, "Then let's go."

Zhuang Zhou felt that the smile on his face was a little naughty, as if he was planning some prank.He was dazzled by Ling Dongzhi's smile, all he thought was that as long as he was happy every day, don't cry and don't be sad.As for what he wants to do badly...

Let him do it if he wants to.Could it be that he could still come up with something that even he couldn't solve?Teacher Ling from his family is not such a ignorant person.

Zhuang Zhou happily followed Teacher Ling for a walk, and after 10 minutes... he regretted it.

The place where Ling Dongzhi brought him was a square, a very ordinary square, the outside was cut into wavy sidewalks by lawns, there was an open space in the middle, and there was a semicircular stage at one end.There were not many people walking in the square, and a few children were running around on small bicycles or on roller skates, laughing and playing.On the stage in the middle, a group of aunts and uncles are practicing Tai Chi with a gray-haired old man.

Seeing Ling Dongzhi walking straight towards the stage, Zhuang Zhou felt a little uncomfortable. There should be elders Ling Dongzhi knew, his father or his mother.When Zhuang Zhou thought of this possibility, his scalp felt slightly numb.

Ling Dongzhi looked at him sideways, and asked with a playful expression: "Do you regret it?"

"Well, I regret it." Zhuang Zhou smiled wryly, "I always thought I would have a more grand...uh, more decent appearance ceremony."

Ling Dongzhi laughed, "It's good that you are like this now."

"Really?"

Ling Dongzhi nodded, "You are handsome. My mother and I have the same aesthetic vision, and she will like you too."

Zhuang Zhou's heart skipped a beat, "Yes?!"

Ling Dongzhi turned his face away, the bases of his ears were slightly red.

Zhuang Zhou suddenly understood very deeply why there is a saying that is called elation, "Winter Solstice, in fact, you..."

"Shh," Ling Dongzhi bumped him with his elbow, "My mother and the others are over."

Zhuang Zhou straightened his back quickly, and followed Ling Dongzhi's line of sight to look into the crowd.However, these people are not too different in age, and they all wear the same Chinese-style outer shirts, so it seems that there is really no difference.Especially at this moment, everyone's eyes turned to them curiously. Before Zhuang Zhou found his target, he became the object of others' onlookers.Feeling a little dazzled, Ling Dongzhi lightly bumped his arm again, signaling him to pay attention to the person walking towards them, "This is my mother."

Mama Ling looked younger than the people around her, with short curly hair, she looked very energetic.Ling Dongzhi didn't look much like her, but their eyes were very similar, both with tea-brown pupils, moist and clear.Ling Dongzhi's eyes were indifferent, while Ling Ma's eyes were slightly smiling.

Zhuang Zhou felt a little nervous unconsciously, "Mrs. Ling, hello."

When Ling's mother first saw her son walking towards this side with a man, her heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition.Ling Dongzhi has never brought anyone to her since she was a child, so how could she not understand what he meant?

This brat always plays such unexpected tricks.Now that everyone is in front of her, how can she express her opinion in front of so many people?Are you pretending to be confused?Wouldn't that make the juniors look down upon him?Ling Ma was angry but couldn't let it out, seeing Ling Dongzhi's arm stretched out to hold her, she couldn't help pinching it.

Ling Dongzhi gritted her teeth, "Oh."

Mother Ling glared at him angrily, then turned her head to look Zhuang Zhou up and down, "This is..."

"Zhuangzhou." Ling Dongzhi shook her arm coquettishly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Mother Ling pinched him again, but couldn't help but sigh.This son has been colder than other children since he was a child, and he doesn't talk much. Even in front of his parents, he looks like a little adult most of the time.Therefore, Mama Ling really has no resistance to his acting like a baby.

But she was really not feeling well.Although she and her wife complained about her son's lack of EQ, when such a day really came, she still felt a little uncomfortable seeing him bring a man to her.No matter how open the atmosphere is, there will still be some people who talk behind their backs in this society. She really doesn't want her son to be talked about.

Mama Ling sensed Zhuang Zhou's nervousness from the address she called her, and she couldn't help feeling a little soft-hearted. After all, they are all children, and he doesn't seem to be much older than her own son. Bar."

Zhuang Zhou honestly agreed, "Auntie."

Ling Ma asked again, "Xiao Zhuang has known us for a long time during the winter solstice?"

"No." Zhuang Zhou was a little unsure how to answer this question. He didn't want Mama Ling to feel that his friendship with Dong Zhi was still very shallow, but it seemed a bit unnecessary to make up nonsense because of this question.

"It's not too long," Ling Dongzhi rushed to say, "But my younger brother is my student, and he has been teaching him for a long time."

Mama Ling said "Oh", "There is also a younger brother."

Zhuang Zhou smiled, "There is another brother."

Ling Ma smiled and said, "Then your parents are really lucky."

Ling Dongzhi made a grimace at Zhuangzhou, and said to himself that in view of the complex population situation of your family, he didn't know what adjectives to use to express it. The three words "blessed" are really hard to say.

Zhuang Zhou smiled wryly, then heard Ling's mother ask him again, "Where does Xiao Zhuang work?"

Zhuang Zhou replied solemnly: "I work in Zhuangxia Group."

Ling Ma asked, "specifically?"

Zhuang Zhou glanced at the slightly helpless look on Ling Dongzhi's face, and replied politely: "It's management, responsible for the research and development of new products." People generally prefer young people who are engaged in technology, and feel that such people are down-to-earth.If he said he was a businessman, Mama Ling's impression of him would be greatly discounted.Anyway, the technical department is also under his control, so it's not a lie to the elders.

Ling Dongzhi couldn't help rolling his eyes.However, the expression on Mama Ling's face really softened, and she looked at Zhuang Zhou more kindly than before.In fact, her curiosity was far from being satisfied, but it was the first time her son brought someone over to show her, and she didn't want to embarrass him too much, so she hesitated and held back her questioning.

Ling Dongzhi didn't really want her to continue asking in front of Zhuang Zhou, the purpose of the first meeting was just to let his mother know that there was such a person.Although he never told them much, he never thought of hiding something from them.Especially when the parents already have some guesses about his sexuality.

But it's only to the extent of understanding, Ling Ma knows that Ling Dongzhi doesn't like to let other people meddle in personal affairs, even if they are parents.

I can't help my mother.

Hearing her sigh, Ling Dongzhi couldn't help but hold her tighter, "Are you done practicing? I'll accompany you home."

Ling's mother smiled, "I don't like to ride in a car, can you walk back with me?"

Ling Dongzhi looked at Zhuang Zhou's reaction subconsciously. Zhuang Zhou was a person who knew how to measure himself. Naturally, at this time, he couldn't fail to see that the two girls had something to say, so he quickly stated: "I'm going to the company now. I'll Go pick you up, you didn't drive out, it's inconvenient to go back by yourself."

Ling Dongzhi nodded.

Mama Ling immediately felt that Zhuang Zhou was considerate and considerate, "Be careful on the road, come to have a meal with Dong Zhi when you have time." After Zhuang Zhou left, she turned around and asked Dong Zhi again, "Are you serious?"

"It depends on how you understand it." Ling Dongzhi took the backpack from her hand and threw it on his back, "If you don't like it, you can also treat me as playing."

"I hate how children talk." Mother Ling slapped him on the shoulder, "Talk to me carefully. Throwing such a big bomb to us without making a sound, you must let us understand the situation, right? "

Ling Dongzhi scratched his hair, "Where are you talking?"

"Of course I told you from the beginning. You just said that his brother is your student?"

Ling Dongzhi nodded, "He's a sophomore in high school, he's a pretty good kid. His name is Zhuang Lin."

At the same time, Yujingyuan.

Zhuang Lin pushed open the door, threw the backpack in his hand on the low table in the hallway, and looked inside.The living room was quiet, only Brown Sugar's lazy dog ​​was sleeping on the carpet in front of the sofa.He only rolled his eyelids when he heard the movement, and didn't even bother to shake his tail at him.

Zhuang Lin walked around the houses but found no one, so he wandered to the kitchen to find something to eat.There are traces of use in the kitchen, and I haven't had time to clean it up. There are still unwashed plates and tableware in the sink.Zhuang Lin glanced casually, his gaze immediately seemed to be frozen, and he couldn't look away anymore.

Two bowls, two pairs of chopsticks, plates...

Zhuang Lin seemed to have discovered some secret, and reached out to shake the tableware in the sink.After a while, he took out his mobile phone in fear, called out his mother's number and dialed it.

"Dear Mrs. Dizhuang, I have a very exciting news to sell to you... very interesting news... as long as you double my pocket money, I will tell you... what? Okay, okay, add one more Yue is fine, what you say is what you say, and you are not allowed to go back on your word. What? Tell me about me..."

Zhuang Linxu chatted about some conditions, and then said mysteriously: "Your second son is in love. There are two sets of tableware in the kitchen...Really, I won't lie to you, last night definitely Someone spent the night with him... eh? I know who it is...I'll find out for you...Okay, okay, don't forget my pocket money..."

The author has something to say: Ling Dongzhi: In terms of the art of war, it is about preemptive strikes.So you have to take the person there directly to show Mommy, the slow way of insinuating will only arouse her vigilance, and it will be difficult to handle at that time...

Mama Ling: Bear kids always catch people off guard.Well, you can't hit him directly, and it's best not to show an aggressive attitude. First, you have to infiltrate slowly and find out the details of the two of them...
