I was the first to catch up

Yu Xiaomin is changing quietly, Guan Buyu doesn't know whether this change is good or bad.She felt that she did not have the power to decide this matter.

Similarly, she has no right to tell Jiang Lingyu what happened that night. When Yu Xiaomin sent her to the door, he put his hands on her shoulders, and his eyebrows and eyes were bent down, revealing a hint of humble pleading.

She said, Guan Buyu, don't tell Jiang Lingyu about this.At least, not now.

Guan Buyu nodded and said yes, but she still couldn't help it, it was too difficult for the honest Guan Buyu to keep a secret.So she had to carefully confide a question to Jiang Lingyu:

"Jiang Lingyu, if, if——if the proprietress finds a partner or something, what will happen to you?"

At that time Jiang Lingyu blinked, she smiled and said it was impossible, mother she would not find a boyfriend.

Guan Buyu asked her why, Jiang Lingyu raised her eyebrows and said naturally:

"Because that's my mother. The store is so busy, she doesn't have time to go on a date... Even if she is on a date, I don't think there will be anyone who can make my mother make up her mind to be with him. Guan Buyu, think about it, then But mother."

Jiang Lingyu smiled, and then said:

"After all, why is she looking for a new mate?"

"—Because she also wants to get her own happiness?"

Guan Buyu subconsciously said this, and then she saw Jiang Lingyu standing there in a daze, she lowered her head, and suddenly frowned.And Guan Buyu felt that he had said something wrong, so he was at a loss:

"No, no! I mean, that is, the happiness that belongs to the proprietress——Yu Xiaomin? Being with you is one kind of happiness, and being with your partner is another kind of happiness. I don't mean to say that you are a burden ..."

"Okay, shut up."

Jiang Lingyu looked helplessly at Guan Buyu's blushing face, she moved to her side, leaned on her shoulder, sighed slightly, and whispered softly:

"But, you're right. Mom should go find her happiness, which has nothing to do with me and belongs entirely to her."

Why had she never noticed this?

Jiang Lingyu thought quietly, then she raised her head and saw Guan Buyu's chin.She raised her hand to touch that chin, Guan Buyu soon burst into a soft smile, which made Jiang Lingyu feel happy, but because of this, a kind of belated self-loathing arose.

Jiang Lingyu put down her hands and thought silently:

—Maybe it was because she was too selfish.

Until the end of the winter vacation, the matter of Yu Xiaomin remained in Jiang Lingyu's heart. She had a hunch that this would be something she would always keep in mind after school started.

The night before leaving, Yu Xiaomin cooked a table of sumptuous dishes. It was obviously a bit wasteful for two people to eat so much, but Guan Buyu couldn't come, so she was taken away by her father to eat——Fang Ranran, Jiang Ling Yu also heard a little about her and Yu Xiaomin from Guan Buyu.

So there are only the two of them in this room. A year or two ago, this scene was their daily life.Mom and daughter, adults and kids.Now, the child is growing up little by little, although he is still not as tall as Xiao Min, but Jiang Lingyu has obviously transitioned from a girl to a woman.

Because of this, when Yu Xiaomin and Jiang Lingyu huddled in the kitchen to wash dishes after the meal, Yu Xiaomin joked:

"I heard that there are many people chasing you in college. Although my mother is very curious about what college is like now, I am actually more curious about your relationship status. Tell me, do you already have someone you like?"

Jiang Lingyu smiled, she stretched out her hand, Yu Xiaomin handed her the sponge without asking, she took it, and slowly wiped the bowl of noodles with the green side.

"What if I say, yes?"

Suddenly there was a clanging sound from Yu Xiaomin's side, and Jiang Lingyu was startled. When she looked back, Yu Xiaomin was picking up the bowls and chopsticks that fell in the sink in a hurry.

"Re-really? I was just asking—"

"Mother."

Jiang Lingyu rolled her throat, she deliberately smiled a few times, and then said:

"I'm kidding. Why are you so nervous."

Yu Xiaomin breathed a sigh of relief, she patted her chest and said:

"You kid, next time you say that, can you prepare me mentally? I almost-well, actually I thought I was ready."

Yu Xiaomin lowered her head, a little helpless and frustrated, Jiang Lingyu looked at her like this, she suddenly asked:

"Mom, what kind of partner do you want me to find?"

Yu Xiaomin looked at her in surprise, as if she didn't expect Jiang Lingyu to ask this question.So she thought for a few seconds, and then said decisively:

"Although I really want to say a lot of requests, but no amount of requests can compare to the word like. Well, as long as it is Xiaoyu you like. But! Mom, I have high vision, if the man is not very good , I will tell you directly, you have a better vision!"

What if——what if, she wasn't a man?

If she is a girl, one year younger than me, and you even know her—what if her name is Guan Buyu?

Jiang Lingyu looked at Yu Xiaomin beside him.The kitchen light was a bit white, and it hit Yu Xiaomin mercilessly, allowing Jiang Lingyu to see everything clearly.

She saw Yu Xiaomin's tired face, her back was a bit bent at the moment, her white hair had already grown out, mixed in with the black hair, and wrinkles appeared, all of which made Jiang Lingyu open his mouth, but finally turned into A sigh.

Jiang Lingyu should have known that he was a selfish ghost.When she was beside Guan Buyu, she always thought that one day, she would tell Yu Xiaomin that Guan Buyu is her lover, because she is worth it, and this relationship should not be just a relationship that has never been loved by others. Known underground romance.

But when she was standing beside Yu Xiaomin, she was thinking, maybe it's okay not to tell.Yu Xiaomin was already tired enough, she didn't want to burden her again and make her grow back a few strands of gray hair.

Therefore, at this moment, Jiang Lingyu realized that it was impossible to say anything about Guan Buyu in front of Yu Xiaomin.At least not now, in the future—will there be that chance in the future?

Jiang Lingyu continued to wash the dishes with her head down, she suddenly felt so despicable.She never thought that Xiao Min would pursue happiness, but she only wanted to get her own happiness.How can there be such a good thing in this world?

She watched the foam stick to her hand and slipped down little by little.Yu Xiaomin's voice sounded from the side, cautiously, even a little timidly:

"Xiao Yu...you—are you really not in a relationship?"

Her mother had never talked to her like this before, she seemed to be getting old all of a sudden, which made Jiang Lingyu's heart ache, so she tried to answer with the corners of her mouth raised:

"It's really not talking, Mom, you just want me to fall in love so much."

She watched Yu Xiaomin finally put her mind at ease, then waved her hands and said no, the atmosphere returned to normal, Jiang Lingyu thought, this is probably what she wants most now.
