Shoulder to shoulder

During the three-day holiday on New Year's Day, Bi Guo stayed with her mother, went out for a stroll when the weather was good, and stayed at home when the weather was bad.

Probably some things were too shocking, and both of them needed time to accept, so these three days, they avoided talking about them tacitly.

It is obviously the tranquility under the turbulent sea, but unexpectedly created the best mode of getting along with mother and daughter in the past few years.

Xia Ling would ask about Bi Guo's work, and Bi Guo had a wonderful six months, so it was quite enjoyable for the two of them to pick and choose and talk about it.

The door of the side sleeper was never opened, and on the third night, Xia Ling finished watching two episodes of the TV series, turned off all the noise, and stood in front of that door.

Bi Guogang came out of the kitchen with a drink. Seeing this scene, he staggered in fright.

"Mom," she asked in a stern voice, "what's the matter?"

"It's time to talk." Xia Ling said, "Tomorrow you go to work and I get on the plane. I don't know when I will see you again."

"I went back after the Chinese New Year holiday." Bi Guo said.

"There is still more than a month." Xia Ling looked at the door, "A lot of things can happen in more than a month."

Bi Guo put down the drink first, so as not to break the glass later like in a TV series.

She walked up to Xia Ling, and said softly, "No matter how many things happen, I'm still your daughter, and you are still my mother."

"Hmm." Xia Ling had no objection to this point, she raised her hand and said directly, "Should Xuezhou live here?"

"Ah...Mom..." Although he knew it well, Bi Guo still felt that this was a bit difficult to answer.

"Can you go in and have a look?" Xia Ling turned her head and asked Bi Guo.

"Ah, this..."

"If she was here, she would invite me to sit in." Xia Ling said.

Bi Guo lowered his head, knowing that it was time to open the skylight and speak honestly, so he took a step forward and opened the door.

It belongs to Jian Xuezhou's style, belongs to Jian Xuezhou's smell, both Xia Ling and Bi Guo are familiar with it.

In Jian Xuezhou's room, more than half of them are books, and less of them are full of clothes in the closet. Just seeing her appearance, it is difficult to associate her with a simple science fiction writer.

It's too beautiful.

Xia Ling opened the stool in front of the desk and sat down, looking at the manuscript paper that was pressed by the books on the desk: "I came here early, so I delayed her work."

Bi Guo answered casually: "It's okay." After finishing speaking, he realized that he was not qualified to say that.

So he shut his mouth obediently and stood aside quietly.

Xia Ling said: "Do you remember seeing Xue Zhou when you were young?"

Bi Guo was stunned: "I don't remember."

"That's right." Xia Ling smiled, "The academic week at that time was completely different from what it is now. When I first entered college, a girl from the Department of Literature dressed like a boy from the Individual College."

"Does she look like a boy?" Bi Guo was surprised.

"That's right, she's wearing a black tracksuit, has short hair, and has a very tall and straight body."

Bi Guo laughed: "I can't imagine it."

"Your mother and I are responsible for this." Xia Ling paused, a little dazed, "It's funny to say, we know each other through pen pals."

"Pen pal??" This word is really too old-fashioned, Bi Guo pulled a chair over and sat in front of Xia Ling.

Xia Ling glanced at her: "Your writing is good, half of it is talent, and half of it is because I like literature, and I let you read a lot of books since I was a child."

"I remember that, when other people's children climbed the city wall and set fire to the house, I always sat in the yard and read." Bi Guo thought for a while, "Mom, you were still writing prose back then, right?"

Xia Ling sighed, and waved her hand: "It's been many years, and then I just read and didn't write. I saw Xue Zhou's novels in a magazine, and thought she was really good, so I wrote a letter to the magazine. I thought it was really handed over to her."

Bi Guo laughed, waiting for his mother to say more.

Xia Ling was very emotional: "At that time, your idol had already published a lot of articles, but there were not many opportunities to directly communicate with readers. My letter was quite long, probably because I was old, she I found it interesting and wrote back."

"You came to me a few times and exchanged phone numbers. Later, she came over to play during her winter vacation." Xia Ling said, "What a beautiful girl, how young and talented, I have no other skills, Just change the way to make her wear beautiful clothes."

"How long have you been here?" Bi Guo felt it was a pity, "I don't have any memory at all."

"You've only met twice, your dad took you back to your hometown."

"Hey..." Bi Guo sighed softly.

Xia Ling came back to her senses, her tone was a bit complicated: "Why are you sighing, haven't you seen enough now?"

"Enough is enough." Bi Guo hurriedly responded, paused, looked up at Xia Ling, and said cautiously, "Mom, you really like sister Jane."

"When did I say I hated her?" Xia Ling looked at Bi Guo, "We haven't broken up for so many years, how can I not like her?"

"Oh, yes." Bi Guo couldn't hold back, "No one will hate her, she is very nice."

"So tell me the truth." Xia Ling said suddenly, "Did you lead her into trouble?"

Bi Guo's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up abruptly: "Mom, how can this be a bad idea!"

"Xue Zhou hasn't even been in a relationship for so many years, and suddenly became gay?" Xia Ling stared at Bi Guo.

"Sister Jane, hasn't she ever been in a relationship?" Bi Guo forcefully held back the word "Damn", "How could she have never been in a relationship with her condition?!"

"Don't you know that she hasn't been in a relationship?" Xia Ling also stood up, "If you didn't know, you led her on a wrong path."

"Mom, let's not talk about whether it's crooked or not. Do you think Jian Xuezhou is someone who can be easily led astray?"

"How can you just call her by name!" Xia Ling slapped the table, "She calls me sister! You have to call her auntie!"

"She's seven years older than me, how can she be called Auntie!" Bi Guo knew that there was no compromise in addressing her, for if she compromised, it would be too much like a slut, so the more anxious she was, the faster her mind turned, "She went to our house ten years ago. Did you ask me to call her Auntie when she was here?"

Xia Ling choked, and simply slapped Bi Guo's arm: "You can say it!"

Bi Guo stretched out his arm: "Mom, please slap me a few more times. Although there is nothing wrong with me, I can understand that you can't accept it."

"Is it a question of whether I accept it or not!" Xia Ling raised her voice and really slapped her again, "There are many things I don't accept, did you do what I said!"

"Then what's your problem?" Bi Guo asked.

"There are so many problems!" Xia Ling was so angry that she didn't know what to do, "There are problems everywhere!"

The hypocritical calm of the past few days has been completely broken. Bi Guo sniffed and felt a little sad: "Some things are beyond my control. Mom, you took her book back, and you asked her to come and take care of me." Yes, otherwise, where would I know such a nice person as her..."

Xia Ling slapped down again, hitting Bi Guo's back, this time with a lot of force, causing a muffled sound from Bi Guo's body.

"You will never get married in your life, will you!" she roared.

"Yes!" Bi Guo always answered this kind of question resolutely, "Unless gay marriage is legalized in our country!"

"Then you want to live alone for the rest of your life!" Xia Ling continued to shout.

"No, I will live with the person I like and take care of each other!"

"Then what are you dissatisfied with Jian Xuezhou!" Xia Ling pointed to the book on the table, "Don't you think she is an idol!"

"Huh?" Bi Guo was stunned.

Xia Ling was emotional: "No matter you like men or women, no matter how young you are, you have to be single-minded in your relationship! Your father has never been preoccupied in all these years, why did he give birth to you..."

"Mom," Bi Guo reacted strangely, "Did you misunderstand something?"

"What did I misunderstand!" Xia Ling slapped the table loudly, "Tell me, don't you still forget that Li Xiyuan!"

"What's the matter with Li Xiyuan!" Bi Guo had never thought of this person in his eighth life, "Mom, calm down, I didn't say anything about it, who is half-hearted with me?"

Xia Ling supported the table, took several deep breaths, and lowered her voice: "I really don't want to tell you this."

"Mom, apart from my sexuality, I have worried you. I haven't disappointed you in all these years." Bi Guo approached her and supported her, "Am I a corrupt person?"

"Emotional matters cannot be controlled rationally."

"That's right!" Bi Guo agreed very much.

Xia Ling raised her head and looked at her: "If you miss Jian Xuezhou, you will never meet such an outstanding person in your life. Li Xiyuan is incomparable to her, and you have always been like a fool who can't understand."

"Mom, mom..." Bi Guo raised his hand, "Let's talk about it. What do you mean, you agree to me being with Sister Jane?"

"What are you together! What are you together!" Xia Ling was still angry when she said this.

"Okay, okay, then, sister Jian and Li Xiyuan, you want me to choose sister Jian."

Xia Ling didn't speak.

This is the default, and Bi Guo slapped his thigh in disbelief: "Mom! I will definitely choose Sister Jane!!!"

"You are too young, and she is not young in the school week..."

After understanding this sentence, Bi Guo quickly promised, "If I can be with her, I will love her forever. Unless she doesn't want me, I will definitely stick to her like a dog's skin plaster."

Xia Ling slapped her again when she heard the words.

After all, he understood that it would take time for Xia Ling to fully accept this kind of thing.

But her mother has always been smart and wise, so after a long period of struggle and confrontation between the two, Xia Ling chose the most sensible and best path for Bi Guo's current situation.

Those slaps on Bi Guo's body were nothing more than helpless venting of anger, and Bi Guo wished she could slap her more, whatever she wanted.

Just like the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, the spring water is gurgling, and the family I love the most, the six-year frozen seal has finally opened a big hole.

Bi Guo was happy and sad at the same time, his body was numb for a while and his voice was dry, and when he opened his mouth, there was a crying sound: "Mom, although it's hypocritical to say that, thank you."

"What are you thanking me for?" Xia Ling's voice also choked up.

"Thank you for giving birth to me, raising me and teaching me to be an adult, thank you for your devotion to me and the grievances you have suffered, and thank you for allowing me to be your daughter." Bi Guo paused, tears fell, raised his hand and laughed again, "Thank you also for sending Jian Xuezhou to me."

Xia Ling made a gesture to hit her again, but Bi Guo passed her body over and sniffed: "I just don't understand, why did you mention Li Xiyuan all of a sudden?"

Xia Ling withdrew her hand, angrily: "You didn't argue with me because of her back then!"

"I didn't do it for her, I did it for myself."

"Don't think I don't know."

"Mom, you must have misunderstood and remembered wrongly."

Xia Ling waved her hand: "I don't want to mention that matter again, let me tell you that Li Xiyuan got engaged at Christmas, and it will be married next year at the latest."

"That's good, I congratulate her." Bi Guo said.

Xia Ling pushed her away: "Get out, get out, I'm going to take a shower, the noise made me have a headache..."

Of course, Bi Guo didn't worry about who caused the quarrel, she was as happy as if she was ascending to the clouds.He sent Xia Ling to the bathroom, put the water away, and arranged all the things. He was so annoying that he retreated out.

As soon as the bathroom door was closed, he almost jumped onto the bed lying on his side. After smelling the familiar smell on the bedding, Bi Guo finally understood what it meant to not see each other every day.

She was going crazy thinking about Jian Xuezhou!

Especially today!at this time!now!

Holding the phone, Bi Guo sent a message to her sister Jane with a grin on her face:

- hey , what the hell did you say to my mother

The address is really impolite, and Jian Xuezhou's news is as fast as ever:

-Just say I like you, but I haven't caught up with you yet.

Bi Guo laughed and rolled over, crackling and pressing the smart phone like a feature phone:

- Does this still count?

Expected answer:

-Calculate.

Then both sides jumped out of the message almost at the same time:

- then we are together

- stay with me
