high intensity friendship

"Chuan Chuan, are you for a man, or for a dream?" Mother asked softly.

"Didn't you see? A man is his dream, and he dreams of a man!" His father angrily raised his wine glass and smashed it on the table, then pressed his mouth to the table, sucking the spilled wine.

"A man is a man, and a dream is a dream. Now, I can tell the difference clearly." Yue Xiaochuan took food for his parents respectively, with a neither humble nor overbearing voice, "I gave up once, and this time I went out... I will never pay back until I break Loulan."

"Don't be so scary, don't compete with yourself, should you come back or come back." The mother was afraid that her son would not think about it, "Have you officially reconciled with the unspoken rules?"

"That's right, but... it will take half a year to find out." The progress of the relationship depends on Chu Tianchang's alcohol abstinence.Yue Xiaochuan was fishing for him on purpose, and he had to do his best.If you drink it again, it will really become a plant.

"Ha, there's a timer for being gay." The father sneered, using a relatively trendy word, which seemed to be learned online.

"Is he here?" asked the mother.

"...in the hotel, I didn't dare to come to our house."

"You call him here."

"Farewell." Yue Xiaochuan smiled to hide his embarrassment.

"I've discussed it with your mother for a long time," my father said with divine eyes, like two black muzzles of a gun, oozing out of a broken boat, "you have a cheating gene, and you can't get married to cheat others, so you should first talk to the potential one." Let's make do with the rules. Call him over, your mother wants to tell him a few words."

After receiving the news, Chu Tianchang scouted the residential building for a week, and only slowly went upstairs after confirming that there was no ambush.

As soon as the young master made a move, it was another bottle of Moutai.The father-in-law poured out half of his anger, and accepted it with a dark face.

"Xiao Qian... No, Xiao Chu, come and sit down." The mother-in-law added a pair of bowls and chopsticks, her expression was gentle, and she opened her mouth well, "Does your family know about your dirty business?"

Yue Xiaochuan frowned, and kicked her lightly under the table, "Mom, can you stop learning a word and using it everywhere?"

"...I don't know yet." Chu Tianchang replied.

"Then, you are still in the closet. What if your parents open the closet door? As I remember, you are an only child and your family is good. They can't allow you to be barren, right?"

"Auntie, I know what you are worried about. I will tell my family when the time is right." Chu Tianchang's voice was steady, and his calm eyes alternated between the couple's faces. "Actually, I am not the only child."

Yue Xiaochuan couldn't help lowering his head and laughing because it sounded like "I'm not a calf".

"In theory, there are two older sisters in my family. My mother is about the same age as me, and we haven't seen each other for many years. You also know that my parents have a big age gap. My mother used to be a female worker in my father's factory. After having me ...Commonly known as, junior high position."

He was surprisingly calm, as if he was narrating the stories of other people's families, "My parents' hometown is mostly for business, and patriarchy is more serious. My father chose to have a son, so he divorced his original wife."

Yue Xiaochuan's family listened blankly, as if they were listening to the outline of a TV series.

"My father is in good health, and my mother is still young and in charge of the business. She won't need an heir for a while. Besides, my mother is trying to have a second child, so...the pressure on me is not too great."

Chu Tianchang ate the food calmly, and added: "I have never told anyone about my family, but you probably guessed it."

"Well, how much can..." the father-in-law and mother-in-law responded vaguely, exchanging glances with each other.

"About my personal situation and my family's situation, that's about it. Is there anything else you want to ask?"

The father-in-law took a sip of wine, looked at his wife, and asked hesitantly, "I'm over 50, can I still have children?"

"Look at what I'm doing. I don't want to have a baby with you. They still want to enjoy a happy life." The mother-in-law coquettishly turned to Chu Tianchang and smiled kindly, "Xiao Chu, I know, when you face my family, Chuanchuan, you are He has a sense of superiority. He is not as good as you in everything, and he will beat Wuba Chaoer twice. However, he has never been short of anything since he was a child. He was also raised in the palm of his hand. He is our little prince. .”

"I know, Auntie. You have brought him up very well. I have never looked down on him."

"When my aunt was young, she also smoked, drank, burned her head and fought in groups. If you dare to bully him, my aunt will beat you."

"Don't worry, I can't beat him." Seeing his father-in-law's wine glass was empty, Chu Tianchang said courteously, "Shall I open the Moutai for you?"

"No, no, I'll save it for the Chinese New Year."

"Oh, by the way, uncle, I'm giving up drinking." Chu Tianchang looked proud, and turned his head to meet Yue Xiaochuan's encouraging gaze, "Don't give me deer antler slices in the future."

The father-in-law groaned and covered his head in pain, probably because his blood pressure rose slightly.

Four Seasons clothes and other personal items have already arrived in J City by mail.

Yue Xiaochuan set out on the road lightly and boarded the train heading south.What quickly retreated behind was not only the familiar scenery, but also the comfortable life, and... appetite.

That's right, I started to strictly control my food intake again.

He looked through the birch forest photos sent by Chu Tianchang, and found that his facial contours were obviously full of baby fat, and his skin was so stretched that it could be broken, and his play path was suddenly narrowed.

Returning to Chu's house, he found that the original slippers were missing, so he had to put on new ones.

"For lovers, isn't it good?" Chu Tianchang, who was cooking, walked out from behind the dining table, and stretched his feet at his feet triumphantly.

"Ah."

In addition to the new slippers, the apartment also received an abstract addition that stands in the corner of the bedroom.

It was a glass tree, nearly one person tall.Each branch is a dark empty wine bottle, with something messily stuffed inside.

Yue Xiaochuan looked at it, and when Chu Tianchang hugged it from behind, he asked, "What is this?"

"I personally designed and made the artwork by myself, and gave it to us."

"What is the use?"

"Urge me to quit drinking, and I can still illuminate." Chu Tianchang extinguished the ceiling light in the bedroom, bent down and pressed the switch of the "tree root".

The whole tree was lit up in an instant, with dots of yellow light shining through the dark glass bottle, like fire and silver flowers, like an ancient sacred tree flowing with lava.

Turns out, the contents of the bottle are LED string lights.

"It can still flicker, but it looks a bit secondary." Chu Tianchang pressed the switch again, and the whole tree flickered, dusty and dirty, like a disco in the last century.

------

The night was alluring, Yue Xiaochuan was lying on his side in Chu Tianchang's arms, looking at the glass tree full of streamers, hesitantly said: "I have been wanting to ask recently, it's okay if you can't answer. What is your mother..."

"The superior one?" Chu Tianchang pulled the corners of his mouth in the dark, close to his ear, and exhaled lightly, "Guess."

"Then I'll take the liberty of guessing that she came to your father with her stomach full."

"There is indeed such a step. But my dad has deeply realized the mistakes he made, so he won't accept this. Just give her money and let her get rid of it."

A puzzled moan flowed from Yue Xiaochuan's throat.

"My mother knows exactly what she wants. She has a junior high school education, but she is a natural actor, screenwriter, and director. Moreover, she is very courageous and firmly believes that hard work will win."

"Then, she gave birth to the child?" Yue Xiaochuan had already regarded this as a story, forgetting that the protagonist was beside him.

"...Otherwise, why would I hold you now?" Chu Tianchang tightened his arms, and the person in his arms was almost suffocated. "She raised me until I was three years old. On the New Year's Eve of that year, she took me to knock my father's hand away." At that time, I was already sensible, I remember, she put on new clothes for me and dressed me up very cutely. When I was a child, I was very tiger-headed and tiger-headed, very cute."

"Pfft... well, you're cute." Yue Xiaochuan smiled.

"The nanny who opened the door called my dad. My mom patted me on the shoulder, and I said the lines I had memorized a long time ago: Happy New Year, Dad. My name is Chu Tianchang. My dad's face is like a rainbow. The color changed. His first wife and two daughters who were in high school all gathered around. My mother said in a low voice that she had pneumonia and had to be hospitalized. The family did not allow her to go back, so she wanted the children to stay here for the New Year , After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I will pick it up."

"Are you really sick?"

"Of course not. She didn't stay for a minute, didn't cry, make trouble, or ask for money, and turned around and left. My dad sighed, asked the nanny to take me in, and arranged a room. His first wife was a very reserved An educated woman, even gave me a bath, took me to buy clothes and snacks, and then stubbornly took my daughter back to her natal home."

"She shouldn't have gone."

"Yes, she shouldn't have left. The next day, my dad took me to the hospital, found a doctor he knew, and drew my blood. It was very painful. Two days later, his attitude towards me was obviously different. "

"He did a paternity test?"

"Well. A traditional man born in the 40s couldn't resist his blood and his son. He started playing with me and watching cartoons with me. I always remember my mother's advice, the first thing I do when I open my eyes every day, It’s called Dad. I also make the bed, fold the clothes, and wash the socks. I’m so obedient. My mother trained me for a long time, and she told me, don’t let Dad hate you. My obsessive-compulsive disorder is probably That's when the foundation was laid."

"Your mother is so smart." Yue Xiaochuan sighed softly, this woman has already studied men thoroughly.

"When my original partner came back from my mother's house, my dad had already let me ride on his neck to go shopping. My mother came to pick me up when I was born, and he didn't want to, so he gave her a sum of money. My mother didn't ask for money, but kept The contact information, and tell me the next step arrangement, and then left."

"...This is still in stages."

"My original partner accepted me, but I always cried and missed my mother. My dad loved me so much that he allowed her to visit me once every weekend, and the location was arranged in the park. Every time, she would dress up very purely and said that as long as I live well It's fine. She doesn't want money, and always says to me: Go beg Dad, play with us for a while.

At that time she was in her early twenties, very beautiful, and for about a few months, she completely took my dad down.After the divorce, the original spouse distributed a small half of the family property and took the daughter abroad, so my mother took over.She is very smart, but the family does not allow her to go to high school, only my uncle is allowed to study.If she could have stayed in school, maybe her life would have been completely different. "

"Yes." Yue Xiaochuan thought, if Chu Tianchang's mother traveled to ancient times, she would definitely be able to dominate the harem.

"When I was in adolescence, I understood what was going on with them, and I hated them very much." It really takes courage to accept that your parents are a pair of "dogs and men and women".

"Did you not believe in love at that time?"

"Yes, I don't believe it. I also don't like my classmates to come to play at home, because they came to visit for the first time and called my dad grandpa, which invisibly helped me for a lifetime. I only fell in love once before college, mainly to give The girl took pictures and practiced her photography skills...they are all normal photos." Chu Tianchang specially emphasized that he was afraid of being misunderstood, "I finally believed in love, but I was kicked."

Yue Xiaochuan felt his fingers poking into his pajamas.The spark from that tree burned all the way to his body with the gentle and domineering fingertips.

"People, it's really complicated. My mother is scheming and green tea, but her first love was my dad, and she followed him wholeheartedly. I can feel that she has always loved him, even though my dad is an old man.

When she gave birth to me, she had little experience and was afraid that others would snatch me away because she gave birth out of wedlock, so she dared not go to a big hospital.She lay in a clinic, aching from dawn to dusk.After giving birth to me, she asked the nurse why today is so long.The nurse said, summer solstice. "

The heat is spreading, like ripples on the skin.Later, what Chu Tianchang said again, Yue Xiaochuan didn't remember.
