springtime

"Good evening." Mother Luo repeated Cen Ran's words, and said, "Yesterday's New Year's Eve, Luo Shixu called your mother. I waited for a long time, but the phone answered several calls from girls. short."

Cen Ran was chased and intercepted by a few matchmakers who were keen on being matchmakers, Luo Shixu should be more lively than him, these words only have a slight sense of reproach, with a hint of joking.

If it was Cen's mother, another parent's elder or a classmate, he would quickly pick up the topic, saying that Luo Shixu has always been so admired by others. At school, it was his classmates who were bribed to inquire about the situation. After graduation, his parents' family should have been contacted very closely.

But from Luo Mu's mouth, Cen Ran didn't know how to reply, and felt a little guilty.

Cen Ran said sullenly, "Auntie, how are you doing recently?"

Luo's mother has not been seriously ill in recent years, and minor illnesses have continued one after another. She said: "It's okay."

Such an awkward atmosphere, Cen Ran knows, this feeling of helplessness, such as Luo Manzhi saw the wave-particle duality, Gu Xun looked through the Oxford dictionary, Luo Shixu encountered "The Analects of Confucius", feeling powerless.

He said a few more words dryly. After hanging up the phone, the whole conversation lasted only 2 minutes. Cen Ran felt that Luo Mu was willing to call him, so she should not have rejected him very much. It has been subtle for a year or two, and it has been five years now. , Maybe it has already "quantitative change caused qualitative change".

He was a little confused about this conversation, and asked Luo Shixu as if he was facing a big enemy.

The two were in the cafe when they asked, Luo Shixu smiled and said, "My mother meant that she was complaining that you didn't give her New Year's greetings, you idiot."

Only then did Cen Ran come to his senses, sighed, and said, "I screwed up again."

"It's okay." Luo Shixu said, "Come to pay New Year's greetings and make up for it."

Cen Ran frowned, and drank the chocolate in front of him with a sigh. Seeing that Luo Shixu brought a computer to work in front of him, and he was so busy after the Chinese New Year, he sat next to him for a while, Luo Shixu held his hand , said: "It's okay, my mother doesn't eat people, why are you so scared?"

"I'm afraid I won't perform well." Cen Ran said truthfully.

"It's just an ordinary meal." Luo Shixu said, "My mother didn't slow down before, thinking it was too early, and there was no need to meet you in a different capacity. Now my mother also wants to see you."

"It's very early now, how old are you?"

"Then you will visit once a year and be shut out until you are 30 years old? Your hard-hearted heart has been softened by you. I won't let you blow my hair downstairs in the future."

Luo Shixu continued to work, during which time he answered a phone call and went out to talk for more than an hour. Cen Ran ordered another plate of small cakes, and checked again whether the gift for Luo's mother was negligent.

When he came back, Cen Ran whispered again: "You know."

"Last year you wanted to come to see my mom, but I called in advance but my mom refused. I thought you wouldn't come. The next day I went to the supermarket to buy something, and I happened to be walking behind you." Luo Shixu said, "You stood there For 10 minutes, I also stood for 10 minutes, if my mother was upstairs watching, the scene might be a bit funny."

Cen Ran covered his face, and after hearing what he said, he felt a little more relaxed. In the evening, he slowly followed Luo Shixu home, feeling agitated at the door, and Luo Shixu rubbed his hair again.Cen Ran patted his hand away and accused, "You ruined my image."

"Continue studying after graduate school, my hair will fall out." Luo Shixu interrupted him.

Cen Ran was gloomy, she was a little hair loss due to too much pressure recently, and she still said: "How can I!"

Luo's mother married a local university professor the year before last. I heard that she taught physics, so in addition to the gift for Luo's mother, Cen Ran brought a few brand new original books, and took a lot of trouble to transfer a few books to his In his hands, it takes time and money. These are his favorites, and he guesses that his uncle is probably also interested.

The movement of changing slippers after entering the door was unnatural, and the gift he gave was in line with the wishes of the elders. Luo Mu accepted it lightly, and the uncle was very happy, and warmly greeted Cen Ran to sit at the dining table.

The uncle said: "Your aunt and I cooked the dishes on this table together. Try it and see if it suits the taste."

After hearing what he said, Luo Shixu gave Cen Ran a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks, Cen Ran ate it, and hurriedly said it was delicious.This meal was actually tasteless, and he was nervous because of his patronage. His uncle and Luo Shixu brought him food, and he ate it without hesitation. He even ate the carrots that Luo Shixu put in the bowl for him.

Probably seeing how cute he is, Luo Shixu couldn't help turning his head and laughing. Luo's mother interrupted his uncle's hospitality and said, "Okay, Cen Ran is going to be choked by your stuffing, how can I give you so many lion heads?" of."

After chewing the vegetables, Cen Ran hurriedly said, "It's really well done."

"The lion's head was made by your aunt." The uncle added, looking at Luo Mu's expression.

He looked gentle and gentle, and it was said that he was studying the direction of celestial bodies. The atmosphere on the table was getting colder, and he chatted with Cen Ran casually about a few professional topics, trying to change this state, but unfortunately, except for the two of them, no one could understand and answer the conversation , On the contrary, it made the atmosphere colder, and it was more or less embarrassing.

When Cen Ran helped clean up the dishes, Luo Shixu said, "Cen Ran and I will wash the dishes, mom, take a break, we have cooked all day."

Luo Mu said, "I haven't."

Luo Shixu turned to Cen Ran and said, "Look, my mother really cares about you, she hasn't cooked for a long time."

Cen Ran was full, he leaned slightly on Luo Shixu, and said, "I'm so full, this may be the most meal I've ever eaten."

This was also the time when Cen Ran washed the dishes most seriously. He tossed and washed the dishes three times and used up half a bottle of dish soap.

It was just an ordinary meal. Luo Shixu was about to drive Cen Ran home, and Luo's mother said, "I want to have a few words with Cen Ran."

"mom……"

"Don't be greedy." Cen Ran and Luo Mu raised their heads and said to Luo Shixu in unison.

Luo Shixu: "..."

Cen Ran turned his head to face Luo Mu, and said, "Auntie, just tell me if you have something to say."

He saw that the water glass on the tea table in front of Luo Mu was empty, and poured her a glass of warm water. Luo Mu said, "Cen Ran, you know it's different this time, you didn't come to my house to find good friends to play with."

Knowing that Cen Ran is Luo Shixu's boyfriend, and then meeting Cen Ran in a friendly manner, many things have changed, such as acquiescing to this relationship and affirming Cen Ran as a person.

"Yes, thank you, Auntie."

Luo Mu's palm was folded on Cen Ran's hand, and Cen Ran felt a few thick calluses on Luo Mu's slightly cool palm. She looked directly into Cen Ran's eyes and said, "Time sequence wants to meet the two parents this year, but I'm I don’t think that’s the time yet.”

No matter what Luo's mother said, Cen Ran would not contradict her, he responded, "I see."

"It's not because I oppose you and deliberately delay your plans, because I've always had something to worry about. I think it's better to tell you directly. I hope you don't mind." Luo Mu said.

Cen Ran said, "I won't."

Luo Shixu said: "Mom, there's nothing to be serious about the old things."

"I said I haven't said it yet. You helped Cen Ran speak first. How can you lose your soul when you fall in love?" Luo's mother glanced at her son, "Luo Shixu told me that you should probably keep studying Read on, let's not mention this kind of future thing, I mainly want to tell you that I didn't tell your parents that year, but I was thinking about Luo's timing."

"At that time, I was thinking that when time sequence is sandwiched between you and me like this, your parents might reject you. Even if my son is a mess at this age, I can't let him suffer like this. What I care about most is Yes, he knew that I would be angry, maybe your parents would blame him, and he also told me that he confessed first."

"What kind of person is my son? Don't I know if he will consider his interests before doing things? This doubt is in my heart. It hasn't cleared up for five years. I ask you, is the truth like this?" ? He provoked you first?"

The two had an affair in high school, no matter how much Luo Shixu flirted with him, they never crossed the line anyway, it was indeed he who crossed the line first and went on a rampage to provoke Luo Shixu.

Before he did things, he had considered his interests, and he was responsible for all the troubles, which had nothing to do with him.

"No." Cen Ran replied.

"Just look at me." Luo's mother was not surprised by this. "It's okay for one person to bear the faults of two people, but the other person is safe and sound. As his mother, I absolutely can't stand it."

This is it.

Cen Ran also knew which hurdle Luo Mu could not overcome. The storms encountered when she was young and ignorant quickly subsided, but left a lingering shadow in Luo Mu's heart. This difficulty seemed to be overcome without any harm. , but it is hard to guarantee that there will be many tests in the next life.

She couldn't rest assured, she was afraid that Luo Shixu would fight against the thrown stones alone, while her partner was safe and sound by the side. This was the mother's love for her child, no matter whether the child was able to take care of himself when he was away, no matter what the child said about it Is it willing and willing?

"I understand his desire to protect you, but do you cherish him? Every time I think of this, I feel very sad." Luo Mu took Cen Ran's hand, pressed it with a little strength, and patted it, "You Talk whatever you want, listen to whatever you want, go back."

Sending them out the door in a daze, and then taking the elevator downstairs, Cen Ran looked at the lit lights and murmured: "I seem to have forgotten to say goodbye."

He also forgot whether he apologized to Luo Mu, because he looked at Luo Mu's eyes, and his emotions were no longer under his control.

"You didn't forget, I said it when I went out." Luo Shixu took out the car keys and said.

Cen Ran nodded in bewilderment, he and Luo Shixu looked at each other, opened his mouth to speak at the same time, and then pursed his lips into a smile, not very comfortable, Luo Shixu put Cen Ran's right hand into his coat pocket , it was warm inside, and walked to the garage with him.

"You can put it in the left ear and out the right ear." Luo Shixu said.

What happened at the beginning was a sudden and frustrating situation. It is not clear who did the right thing and who did the wrong thing. It was just a simple struggle to continue walking together.

He looked out of the car window in a daze, he probably said sorry to Luo Mu, but Luo Shishu protected him so much, he knew it wasn't for him to bow his head afterwards.

His apology was not about guilt, but more about hesitating to speak, stopping his justification, and not stopping his heartbeat.

——He loves me so much, why should I care about who is more and who is less, and how many blessings I can have.

Accompanying Yang Chao, the groom-to-be, to be busy, to be honest, Cen Ran was not depressed for too long because of what Luo's mother said, and the joy of marriage was too contagious.

Yang Chao said that the first time he met the woman's parents, he couldn't even speak well, and his mother-in-law thought he stuttered at first.

On the way to pick up the bride, I deliberately passed by Daizhou No. [-] Middle School. Some students returned to school one after another. They saw a few wedding cars passing by and took a few extra glances in surprise.

Luo Shixu and Cen Ran were responsible for helping out with candy and cigarettes. The two of them pinned a fresh rose to their suits. Yang Chaoda took a photo with Gu Xun early in the morning, deliberately not taking pictures with them, saying that the comments below must be asking for contact information yes, annoying.

"You just don't want to be a foil." Gu Xun straightened his collar and exposed him on the spot, "Give up on it, I'm obviously more handsome than you, don't just take pictures of yourself every time."

Half an hour later, he went out and saw the red carpet, and when the groom was about to walk down the aisle with the bride in his arms, Gu Xun hugged Yang Chao again and said, "You are the most handsome today!"

"A cricket's cricket?"

"The commander of Marshal Canopy."

"Get out." Yang Chao made a gesture to kick Gu Xun.

The wedding was held smoothly, the oaths were sworn, the rings were exchanged, and the groom cried with joy, and he was so excited to express his experience for 5 minutes.

Many of the people at the table were high school classmates, and almost all of them knew each other. When they saw Luo Shixu being the best man, they said that they were ready to find someone to live a good life with. Yes, the entire large-scale wedding reminder scene.

Luo Shixu held back a few glasses of wine for Yang Chao, and Yang Chao drank too much, he held up his glass and said to the smiling classmates: "Brother Xu has been in love for five years, and he has kept it secret, why should he remind you!"

"Congratulations then!"

"When will you have your wedding wine? You won't be going straight to the Hundred Days Banquet, right?"

"Five years? We talked about it in high school, and hid it so well? Who is it?"

"Damn it, it's still so good in the exam, I didn't miss any of them."

Everyone was chattering and chattering. That year, Luo Shixu became the number one scholar in science, followed by Cen Ran. They were wondering if Cen Ran was so angry that he wanted to fight again. In fact, he didn't. On the night of scoring, No.1 and No.2. [-]. Playing claw machines on the side of the street, the last two people didn't catch anything and went home empty-handed.

After dozens of tables were finished, Cen Ran broke into a thin layer of sweat, and Luo Shixu found a lower balcony outside the hall to breathe.

"They'll be looking for us all over the place later." Cen Ran looked up at the starry sky and breathed a sigh of relief.

The sky is fine tonight. There are a few stars dotted in the night sky, as if they are watching them secretly with blinking eyes. The place is quiet and the light is very weak.

"Think we eloped." Luo Shixu said, "When is the Hundred Days Banquet?"

This unrealistic question was answered foolishly: "It depends on your ability."

"It's not very good to be pregnant before marriage." Luo Shixu pondered for a while.

Cen Ran almost echoed and said that it was really not good, then came back to his senses, elbowed Luo Shixu in a gentle manner, and couldn't bear it anymore: "How can I give birth to you!"
