Me and Boss Bear

"You...will you come back?" Xiaozhen asked me softly with her head lowered.

"Ah? Uh... yes! My parents are still here!" I replied dully.

"How soon?"

I was suddenly at a loss for words, unable to answer, and couldn't bear to force out the words "This...may take a while..." Xiaozhen sighed in disappointment after hearing this.

I turned my head and looked at her, "Xiaozhen, you are a good girl, I am very glad to meet you, and I have always regarded you as my sister. I like your kind and hardworking character very much. I am also very happy to accompany you like a brother. You play and protect you. But I have my own direction of struggle, my own ideas, my own goals and aspirations, do you understand? So, I plan to accept the company's employment and return to Xiamen again."

"Then why are you going back, why are you telling me again?" Xiaozhen's eyes were a little red, and her tone of voice became as if she was venting her dissatisfaction.

"Do you think I don't need to tell you? I said I treat you as my sister."

Xiaozhen fell silent again, lowering her head, I couldn't see what her expression was like.The bag in my hand was pulled back and forth by her, and the surrounding became silent, and I didn't speak. Maybe it's better for us to be quiet now.

"But... you clearly know that I don't just treat you like an older brother!" Finally, Xiaozhen opened her mouth to say the words that made me most helpless, and the most worrying thing came.I should have thought that Xiaozhen would not let go so easily. Will tonight's plan be successful?I suddenly lost my mind...

"Listen to me, Xiaozhen, I don't think you are bad, nor do I think we are not suitable, I just don't have that kind of thought at all now, and now I only have my future in my heart, only my longing for life. In order to realize my A wish for many years, I would let go of everything and think about nothing. So, no matter how old I am or what kind of girl I meet, I don’t have any ideas, and instead I put my heart and soul into work. Do you understand?”

Xiaozhen was anxious, she looked up at me, grabbed my arm with both hands, and said eagerly, "I can wait, I can wait for you to come back!"

"Xiaozhen!!" I was also anxious, worried why she still didn't understand.I pulled her hands down and shook her shoulders. "Calm down, okay? Be sober, okay? In my heart, we are just a good brother and sister relationship. I have no other ideas. You are young now, and you have a lot of time to meet more boys. Why should it cost you My youth is waiting for me?! I don’t even know when I will be successful in my career, and I don’t even know when I can come back to settle down. Why are you waiting for me? Don’t you think it’s not worth it? Stop being impulsive!! "

Xiaozhen cried, and the tears rolled down my cheeks and fell on the back of my hand, very hot.She covered her mouth with her hands, tried to hide her distress, and finally burst into tears.I was very upset, I didn't know how to comfort her, let her cry enough, after all, it was my words and my decision that gave her an unbearable blow.

The dim street lights illuminated the path in front of us, elongating the figures of Xiaozhen and me.I patted Xiaozhen on the shoulder, hoping to give her the only comfort I could give, until she slowly stopped sobbing.

Xiaozhen took out a tissue, gently wiped the tears on her face, and asked me softly, "When are you going to leave?"

"It's going to be two days. I haven't replied from the company yet, because my parents haven't convinced me yet..."

"Is it because of our business?" Xiaozhen smiled lightly.

Hearing what she said, I could only smile awkwardly and nod my head. She guessed it right.

Xiaozhen forced a smile to look at me and said, "Since you have already made up your mind, I won't say anything. I can only wish you to achieve your goal as soon as possible!"

I heard it, and my heart was shocked. Did she agree?Is it letting go?I couldn't help being a little excited in my heart, I finally convinced Xiaozhen!I concealed the joy in my heart, looked at Xiaozhen with a face full of relief, and showed a slight smile.

After sending Xiaozhen home, I walked home alone again.The dim street lamp leaned against the side of the road, stretching my figure for a long time, turning around gently, my past was left behind by me just like my long shadow.People, just such a life, since you have decided, do it bravely, don't let yourself feel uncomfortable, don't let yourself end up with regrets.

I have explained my decision to Xiaozhen, and Xiaozhen also decided to let go, so my parents should have nothing to say.Although I have to leave my parents again, it seems that I am a little selfish, but selfishness is selfish, this is my life, my future, I don't want to live under the expectations of others.

Whistling with hands in pockets, strolling home, there has never been a more relaxing moment.

When I got home, Dad was playing poker online in the room, and Mom was sitting next to Dad watching TV.I changed my clothes and took a shower to refresh myself.After thinking about it, I worked up my courage, pushed open the door of my parents' room and walked in.

"Dad, Mom, I want to tell you something."

When my mother heard what I said, she frowned and said, "Is it about going back to Xiamen to work? Feng'er, my mother will not agree with you to go! Absolutely not!"

"But I have already accepted the company's offer!"

"That's not OK!"

I couldn't help shouting emotionally, "Why? Just because you want me to marry Chen Xiaozhen?"

"Yes!" Mom answered simply.

"My relationship with Xiaozhen is not what you think. In fact, we are completely like brother and sister! And... I have already told Xiaozhen that I am going to Xiamen, and she... is very supportive of me!"

After hearing this, my parents stared at me with wide eyes.Of course, I know that what I say will definitely surprise them, or even disbelieve them.

"Nonsense! Xiaozhen is interested in you, who can't see it? Don't talk nonsense, it's useless to say! I won't let you go!" Mom was really angry, and said harshly. Then ignore me.

I suddenly had one head and two heads, why did I say that, but my mother still didn't believe it, or didn't agree?I also lost my temper, and shook my hands and said, "I should choose my own life. If I really want to leave, you have no right to interfere with me!" After I finished speaking, I walked out of my parents' room with a flick of my head.

Back in his room, he fell down on the bed.Why is it so difficult to convince my mother?Why does she always impose her ideas on others?

I pushed open the window, trying to get some air, my mind was extremely chaotic, and my heart was very blocked and panicked.It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and the moon climbed high into the night sky, still so round and so bright.I feel so sad and miss Lao Liu so much. I don't know if he is asleep now.He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, hesitated for a moment, and dialed Lao Liu's number.

"Hello? Xiao Lin." Hearing it, it was Lao Liu's voice, so gentle and familiar, I felt that my empty heart was immediately soothed.

"Old Liu, haven't you slept yet?" I said pretending to be fine.

"Well, I just lay down and was thinking of you! Hehe..." Old Liu panted when he opened his mouth to laugh, and I smiled back. "Xiao Lin, is the matter over? When can I come over?"

Old Liu's sudden sentence stopped me from asking, my breath got stuck in my throat, and I couldn't speak...

"It's almost over, it's almost over, and I'll be over soon." I wove a white lie.

Lao Liu was very happy when he heard it, and kept laughing on the other end of the phone, and I was also very happy, although I knew he would have such a reaction.Old Liu hung up the phone while I said "good night" and fell asleep sweetly.And I, still standing in front of the window, holding the mobile phone tightly in my hand, as if holding Lao Liu's hand, raised my head, looking at the night sky outside the window in a daze.

"Son, are you asleep?" There was a knock on my door, it was Dad.

"Not yet." I ran to open the door.

Dad came in to see me and saw that my room was very clean, so he laughed and said, "It's okay, the air is quite fresh, I thought you were smoking in the room by yourself again."

"Hehe, no" I was a little embarrassed by my father's words.

My dad and I sat down by the bed, and my dad thought my room was too hot, so I closed the window and turned on the air conditioner.

"Are you really determined to go to Xiamen again?" Dad asked me suddenly.

I looked into Dad's eyes and nodded firmly.Seeing this, Dad had no choice but to sigh helplessly. "Hey... after a few months, I still have to leave!"

"I'm sorry, Dad..."

Dad laughed. "What's there to be sorry about? You didn't do anything wrong. It's a good thing for you to have goals. Dad supports you!" After finishing speaking, my dad patted me on the shoulder.

I raised my head suddenly and looked at Dad with bright eyes. "Dad! Do you agree with me going to Xiamen?"

"Hehe, you have already decided, what else can you do if you disagree? You are right, your path is your own choice, and we have no right to interfere with you. I respect my son's choice, and at the same time, I also believe that my son is Good job, as long as you want to fight hard, you can definitely do it, you have been like this since you were a child, hehehe"

I was moved, really moved.Sure enough, my dad has always supported me?Only he has always taken care of my thoughts, considered my feelings, and believed in me from beginning to end.

"However, you are very disgraceful, how can you talk to your mother like that? Do you know how sad it is for her to say that? In the end, you are still wrong! When you came back, you said you would not go away, which made your mother very happy Huanxi, but now you suddenly say you want to leave, how do you let her accept it? It’s shameful to say such words to stimulate her now!" As I said, my father slapped me on the head, "I have a chance to talk to your mother Speak well, do you hear me!"

I looked at Dad and nodded.Dad laughed, and I laughed too.There is no absolute fact, at least I know that my dad has always supported me behind me!

The store was busy the next day, and when I got up early in the morning, there was no one at home.I hurriedly heated up my breakfast and ate it, then hurried to the store.I went to the store and saw that my mother was there, and I remembered that my mother was on vacation today and came to the store to help my father greet customers.

When I was free, my mother sat on a chair and kept wiping sweat with a towel.I saw it in my eyes and felt uncomfortable in my heart, so I found a cup and poured a glass of water for my mother.

"Mom, drink some water and rest for a while, just let me clean up later." I handed the water to my mother.

Mom looked at me, then took a sip of water. "Mom... I talked too much last night, don't be angry, I'm sorry, I just hope you can understand my thoughts."

Mom sighed and said, "Mom is not angry. Mom is just planning for your future. You don't think about yourself at all. If I don't worry about helping you, what will you do in the future?"

"I don't think it's necessary to do it so early. I don't have this plan now..." I said weakly, for fear of causing my mother's mood swings again.

After hearing this, my mother couldn't help sighing, looked at me helplessly, and didn't speak anymore.

"Uncle Lin, Brother Lin, good morning." Our family of three turned around and looked over. It turned out that it was Chen Xiaozhen, who was passing by the door of our store with a small package of goods. "Huh? Aunt Lin is here today too?!" We all greeted her with smiles and said some polite words.

"Brother Lin, I heard that you are going back to Xiamen?" Xiaozhen pretended to be surprised, but she didn't look like her. My parents also found out that I told Xiaozhen.

"Well, yes." I nodded awkwardly.

"Xiamen is great! It's a big city, working there is doing very well, and I'm so happy for you to be able to go back to work again!" Xiaozhen smiled innocently and said without any distractions. I began to admire her.

"Ah?! Oh, umm." I responded to her words incoherently, looking very cautious.

"I wish you success in your work. Let me know when you're leaving. My elder brother is going on a long journey. As a younger sister, I'll send you off anyway!" Xiaozhen still said with a smile. She nodded with a forced smile.

After Xiaozhen finished speaking, she took the goods and went back to her store. When I came back to my senses, my parents looked at Xiaozhen from afar in surprise, as if they couldn't believe what Xiaozhen said.
