sweet kiss bitter summer

Under Liang's mother's non-negotiable request, Liang Luo'an and Tan Chen had no choice but to take her to the small apartment at the east gate of the school.

After entering the door, Liang's mother walked in, looking around with a sullen expression.

She has a slight cleanliness.

At home in Fengchao City, Liang Luo'an and Tan Chen often restrained themselves from keeping the room tidy.

In fact, without Liang's mother's urging, Liang Luo'an and Tan Chen's life became more casual. Half of the clothes were in the closet, half on the back of the sofa, there were unfinished lemons in the kitchen, and Tan Chen used them on the living room table. The povidone iodine and cotton swabs used to treat the wound were not put away, and the sanitary condition of the room was average.

However, compared to being scolded by Liang's mother for the poor sanitation, Liang Luo'an now has more worries.

He quietly walked around Mama Liang, walked into the bedroom as naturally as possible, and saw the contents of the trash can—some crumpled toilet paper, the wrappers of finished snacks, a few condoms used last night, the top shelf It was a used lubricant bottle, with a suggestive pattern printed on the surface.

When Liang's mother walked into the bedroom, Liang Luo'an was hurriedly taking the garbage bag out of the trash can, and tied a knot at the mouth of the bag.

Liang Luo'an looked up guiltily, saw Liang's mother looking at the garbage bag, and concealed embarrassingly: "There is too much garbage, I didn't throw it away...I'll go now."

Tan Chen stood behind Liang's mother, took the things in Liang Luo'an's hands, and said he was going to throw them away, so Liang Luo'an came back, sat by the bed, and pretended to start folding the quilt and tidying the sheets, in case there were any other random bombs The same traces appear.

"Just one bedroom and one bed."

Mama Liang suddenly said, "You guys sleep together?" "Yeah..." Liang Luo'an rolled her eyes, thinking for a moment and didn't think there was anything inappropriate, but Mama Liang's expression looked a little strange, so Liang Luo'an An continued to explain to her, "Tan Chen is not an outsider. He used to sleep together when we were at home. It's nothing."

Mama Liang was silent for a moment, then she sounded depressed and said, "...Mom doesn't even know."

Liang Luo'an didn't understand what her mother meant, so she cast a puzzled look at Tan Chen for help, but Tan Chen just lowered his head and lowered his eyelashes, unable to see his expression clearly.

In the end, Mother Liang didn't stay for lunch. After leaving the small apartment, she planned to go directly to the train station to take the bus back to Fengchao City.

She seemed to be in a very bad mood, at first she didn't even want Liang Luo'an and Tan Chen to see her off, but Liang Luo'an was a little worried and insisted on going, so Liang's mother didn't stop her.

The three of them took a taxi, Tan Chen sat in the co-pilot, Liang Luoan and his mother sat in the back.

I don't know if it's because the temperature of the air conditioner is too low, or because no one has been talking, the air in the car is so cold that Liang Luo'an has goose bumps all over his body.

He tried to find the topic with difficulty and bluntly, and had some conversations with Mama Liang as easily as possible, but no matter what he said, Mama Liang just sat aside, not looking at him, silent, her sideburn hair fell to the side of her face, Suddenly she became a little haggard.

"Mom, don't be like this."

Liang Luo'an held his mother's thin arm, and tried to persuade her distressedly: "Look, Tan Chen and I are renting a house together. It didn't affect our studies and life, and it didn't add financial burden to the family. What's wrong with it?"

"You..." Liang's mother was finally willing to raise her head, her eyes were very red, she only glanced at Liang Luo'an, then lowered her head again, and began to cover her face and cry silently.

Liang Luoan became overwhelmed by this.

Tan Chen also seemed to have noticed something, turned his head slightly, glanced at Liang's mother, and then at Liang Luo'an, his eyes were dark, full of emotions that Liang Luo'an could not understand, and did not leave Liang Luo'an After more time to think, Tan Chen quickly looked away, his back looked very stiff.

No one spoke until we arrived at the station.

Liang's mother stubbornly changed her ticket to the nearest train, and checked the ticket 10 minutes later.

Liang Luo'an proposed to have a meal at the fast food restaurant in the station. After all, Mama Liang was exhausted and haggard visible to the naked eye, and because of sudden changes, she didn't have time to eat, but Mama Liang refused.

Tan Chen ran to the convenience store to buy milk and bread, and wanted to take it for Mama Liang to eat on the road, in case she encountered a critical situation such as hypoglycemia, but Mama Liang didn't pick it up either.

Instead, she opened her package and stuffed a jar full of viscous and bright fresh lemon honey jars into Liang Luoan's hands. Without saying anything, she turned around and wanted to leave after hearing the ticket inspection prompt on the station broadcast.

Liang Luo'an was stunned, and hurriedly followed, sending Liang's mother to the entrance, but Tan Chen did not follow, but stood in the distance through the crowd, looking at them expressionlessly.

Liang's mother still seemed to be unavoidably soft-hearted towards Liang Luo'an, she turned around, touched Liang Luo'an's hair, her eyes were still red and swollen, and worriedly told Liang Luo'an: "Son, you must protect yourself, don't let others hurt you."

"Mom, no one hurt me."

Liang Luo'an was a little confused, but still answered this very affirmatively.

Mother Liang didn't continue to say anything, she looked at Liang Luo'an for a while, and as the ticket gate opened, she was rushed out of Liang Luo'an's sight by the flow of people.

On the way back, Liang Luo'an held the jar of lemon honey and was very worried.

He said: "Tan Chen, I don't understand. Is mom so angry just because we went out to rent a house? Is it so serious?" "Maybe..." Tan Chen paused, "Because we concealed a lot of things. "

"Isn't it just renting a house?"

Liang Luo'an was a little depressed, muttering in a low voice, turning the pot in his hand back and forth.

Tan Chen turned his head to look at Liang Luo'an, and lightly touched his soft hair that could cover the back of his neck. The palm of his hand was attached to the skin of his back neck. Lightly wrapped around Liang Luo'an's hair.

"Tan Chen, itchy."

Liang Luoan shrank his neck.

Tan Chen's hand hung in mid-air for a moment, then retracted, and said to Liang Luo'an: "Luan, there are some things that we don't think are wrong, and there is nothing wrong with them, we just conceal them for protection.

But once the concealment is revealed, this error is simultaneously confirmed. "

"Tan Chen, what are you talking about?"

Liang Luoan frowned, he couldn't understand these too abstract statements.

Tan Chen didn't seem to care, and didn't continue to explain in depth, and smiled at him, "It's nothing."

Liang Luo'an turned back suspiciously, continued to look at the lemon honey jar in his hand, and suddenly thought of what Liang's mother said before she left, and said, "Tan Chen, I think it's very strange for you to talk to your mother suddenly, it's very uncomfortable understand."

"My mother also said strange things to me before she left... It's not incomprehensible, I just don't understand why she suddenly said this to me."

Liang Luo'an said again, "My mother told me that I should protect myself and not be hurt by others...Where is anyone hurting me...Is it because I am worried about our renting a house? But the landlord is also very nice .”

The taxi arrived at the gate of their apartment complex, and they got off, Tan Chen remained silent, wondering if he forgot to answer Liang Luo'an's words.

"Tan Chen, why are you so far away from me?"

Liang Luo'an leaned towards Tan Chen, who was about half a meter away from him, bumped into his arm, deliberately squeezed him, and said jokingly: "Why, you are afraid of hurting me, and you don't have thorns on your body."

Liang Luo'an touched Tan Chen's arm, as if he had confirmed his safety, and stuck it on again intimately.

"I'm afraid."

Tan Chen said in a low voice.

Liang Luo'an heard it, and felt that Tan Chen seemed unhappy, as if he had fallen into a kind of confusion of self-doubt, and he needed an answer at this time.

So Liang Luo'an told Tan Chen very definitely: "I know you are afraid, but you won't."

Walking to the masonry ground beside the road, Liang Luoan stumbled suddenly when he was caught by an uneven bump. Tan Chen quickly stretched out his hand, supported Liang Luoan with one hand, and helped to protect his hand tightly with the other hand. holding jar of lemon honey.

"so close.

Fortunately, it didn't fall, otherwise it would be wasted. "

Liang Luo'an held the pot in his hand and looked around for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief, turned to look at Tan Chen, seemed to see that Tan Chen was still not very happy, so he comforted him: "Tan Chen, don't worry.

When my mother got off the car and went home, I called her to coax her to beg her. She agreed to live outside with her soft heart. If she didn't agree, it would be a big deal for us to move back to the dormitory. "

Liang Luo'an simplified the problem into no problem, so he didn't worry about it, and became happy easily, "Let's go back and make lemonade."

He knocked on the glass jar contentedly, like a carefree little bear patting his round belly full of honey.

"So much, you should be able to drink until the end of summer."

Tan Chen said.

"I don't think it's too much."

Liang Luo'an wrinkled her nose fondly, and smiled at Tan Chen, "But I still want you to make it for me.

Tan Chen, we agreed before that we should drink the lemonade you made every summer. "
