From Pokfulam to Central

When the institute is not busy, Qu Zhi can have about one day of rest every week. Except for Zhou Mi who insists on pulling himself out, most of the time he chooses to stay at home to relax himself.

At noon this Sunday, Zhou Mi was cooking in the kitchen. Qu Zhi woke up late, and his eyes were still a little dull when he was lying on the sofa. The doorbell rang for half a minute before he realized it.

"I'll go." Qu Zhi saw Zhou Mi put his hands behind his back to take off his apron, so he hurriedly stopped him.

Qu Zhi opened the door and saw who was there, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart beat wildly for no reason.

The heating in the room was fully turned on. Mrs. Zhou stood at the door and looked at Qu Zhi wearing a hurdling vest that had been washed loose and with a mess of messy hair. He still had a trace of the spirit he had when we first met at the banquet. , couldn't help but frowned in disgust, and straight-forwardly asked, "Is Zhou Mi with you?"

Not only the nervousness similar to meeting parents, but Qu Zhi felt a sense of embarrassment of being caught and raped in bed for no reason, and was speechless for a while, so he turned his body sideways and let his aunt into the room.

Zhou Mi was humming a rambling tune and shaking the spoon in the kitchen. He turned around to ask Qu Zhi what was the matter, but found out that his mother had come.

The apron on Zhou Mi was a gift from Qu Zhi when he bought the pot. There was a pink and tender cartoon rabbit printed in the center, surrounded by ruffles. Mrs. Zhou frowned even more when she saw her son dressed like this up.

Zhou Mi lowered his head to look at his face, it was indeed a bit unsightly, then looked at the mess beside the pot, silently turned off the fire and took off the apron, wiped his hands hastily, and followed his mother to the living room.

Qu Zhi took two steps ahead and threw the balled blanket on the sofa aside, hurriedly asked the aunt to sit down, and then ran to the kitchen to pour two glasses of water for her and Zhou Mi.

Seeing Auntie’s appearance, it’s obvious that she just wants to talk to Zhou Mi alone, but this house is a split room, the living room, study room, bedroom, and even the kitchen are all open to each other, and the only door in the house belongs to the bathroom. You can't hide there forever.Thinking of this, Qu Zhi didn't know what to do or stay for a while, and it seemed redundant in his own home, so he had no choice but to sit at the desk and turn on the computer, clattering on the keyboard and pretending to be working.

"Where did your dad go?" After the conflict between father and son last time, Zhou Mi left without looking back. Mrs. Zhou didn't have time to stop him to check his injuries. So I had to worry about it all the time, and now after some inquiries, I finally found the place where the two lived, and my heart was finally a little more at ease, "Is it on the back, let mom see, you child, why do you always let the adults do this?" Don't worry."

"Oh, Mom, Mom," Zhou Mi stopped the hand she extended, "I'm fine, it's been so long, good morning."

"You also know that you have lived outside for a long time," Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but her eyes turned red as she spoke, "Do you know how worried my mother is every day, and she doesn't return calls or WeChat messages. How can you be so cruel?"

This time, Zhou Mi did a really good job, because otherwise his father would not be able to truly understand his attitude and determination, but he felt ashamed towards his mother, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry, Mom, it's my fault. "

Mrs. Zhou turned her head to hold back her tears, and saw the half-cooked lunch in the kitchen, her mood turned from grief to resentment, "Mom has raised you since you were a child, and never had the heart to let you do these rough jobs. I really don't understand the meaning behind it." What is hooking you, is it not good to live at home, what you want at home, all things are taken care of by servants, it is better than suffering in this small house, no one else loves you, but a mother loves her son .”

Sitting in front of the computer, Qu Zhi didn't have the mind to work at all. The more he wanted to calm down, the more he could hear the conversation not far away. At this moment, he understood what Auntie said, and he was reading it to himself. of.

"Mom," Zhou Mi secretly glanced at Qu Zhi's direction, "Don't say that, I'm fine here."

"I don't think there's anything good about it," Mrs. Zhou snapped back, "Tell me about what you've been doing every day since you've been back for so long. I think you've been working as a servant for others."

Zhou Mi was speechless. When he was in Hong Kong, he was busy with the affairs of the branch office. On the day he came back, he had a quarrel with his father. He didn’t interfere with the affairs of the head office. Management, so I've been doing nothing lately, and I don't have any plans to work for the time being.

Seeing that Zhou Mi didn't refute, Mrs. Zhou confirmed her guess, "Son, since I was a child, my mother has hardly ever said anything serious to you, but this time, what you did was really wrong. We won't talk about anything else, just Speaking of your idle state, are you worthy of the school you went to? Are you worthy of yourself? Zhou Mi, mom doesn’t ask you to be as capable as your father at this age. I just don’t want you to be like those Just like the sons and brothers who sit back and enjoy their success, they are mediocre and greedy for pleasure, and I am even more worried about you getting some bad habits."

Qu Zhi stared straight at the computer screen, but he could still feel Zhou Mi's fiery gaze stabbing at him when his mother said the five words "bad habits".

Zhou Mi, like Qu Zhi, can hear the implication of these words, but it is inconvenient to refute.

"Son," Mrs. Zhou took Zhou Mi's hand and persuaded earnestly, "Come home with me. Your father has already promised me that you will not be allowed to return to Hong Kong. When you go home and apologize to your father, this matter is over." And your dad took that recording for appraisal. No matter what your original words mean, at least there are indeed traces of editing in that recording. Based on this alone, we can ask your Uncle Wan for help. room for maneuver."

Zhou Mi saw that his mother had finally gotten to the point of this visit, so he stopped circling around, "Mom, I won't go back. I don't think I'm at fault in this matter, and it's impossible to cooperate with my father again." Acting in front of Uncle Wan."

Seeing her son withdrawing his hand from her palm, Mrs. Zhou's whole state suddenly sank a lot, and tears filled her eyes again, "Can't it just be for me? You have been outside for more than a year, mother really I miss you very much."

Zhou Mi couldn't bear to make his mother sad, but he really couldn't bow his head to his father at this time. After suffering for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and lowered his head in shame, "Mom, I'm sorry."

Zhou Mi has always been filial, so Mrs. Zhou never thought that he would be so determined this time.I saw her take a deep breath, and after helping herself to adjust her state, she pointed to the direction of the bathroom with her fingers, and said in a soft but unquestionable tone: "You go there for a while, and close the door."

Zhou Mi was only stunned for a moment, and then he understood what his mother was up to. He subconsciously looked at Qu Zhi and met his eyes. Seeing that he finally gave him a comforting look, he got up and left the table embarrassingly, shutting himself down. up.

Sure enough, after she and Qu Zhi were left alone in the living room, Mrs. Zhou cleared her throat and said, "Qu Zhi——is that his name? Come here, I have something to tell you."

This is the first time Qu Zhi has faced his elder Zhou Mi since their relationship was exposed. To be honest, he is not ready yet.However, Qu Zhi knew in his heart that what should come would always come, no matter sooner or later, so he didn't plan to escape, so he sat in Zhou Mi's position just now, and called "Auntie" respectfully.

"Qu Zhi," Mrs. Zhou changed her earnestness to her son just now, and her attitude turned cold and hard, "If it weren't for Zhou Mi, I would have nothing to say to you, so I wouldn't go around in circles. You are also highly educated. People who are young should understand that even if the current public opinion is advocating equal rights, it is just a silly trick played by some Western politicians for political interests. Opposites attract is the real law of nature, and the combination of men and women is what we do. The only form acceptable to elders. I don't know, do your parents know about you being with a man?"

The wealthy wife is indeed not a vegetarian. Even if she seems to be indifferent to the world at ordinary times, when it is time for her to act, she will not be relentless. With just a few words, she will put people on the high ground, and then step on the other party pain points.

Seeing that Qu Zhi remained silent, Mrs. Zhou got the answer she wanted, "You haven't confessed to your family because you expected that they would not agree. Young people, listen to my advice, don't think about the gradual way Let the family accept this matter. Our family has never been very strict with Zhou Mi. He will follow him as long as he wants to do what he wants to do as long as he does not violate the law. But this is the only thing we will never accept. I believe that all families it's the same."

Qu Zhi subconsciously twisted his fingers together, and said heavily, "Auntie, there is indeed some truth to what you said, and I don't deny it, but the relationship between the two of us is real, so please don't ignore it."

"Okay," Mrs. Zhou glanced at Zhou Mi's blurred figure reflected on the frosted glass inlaid in the door panel, and slightly lowered her voice, "Since you said you have true feelings for him, then I'll ask you a question - love someone People, shouldn't we let him live better and better, instead of selfishly just wanting to take it for ourselves?"

Qu Zhi looked at Auntie's expression cautiously, and didn't dare to respond easily, because he felt that there was something else in the words.

Mrs. Zhou didn't have time to play riddles with Qu Zhi, so she continued on her own: "I remember that you once helped Zhou Mi handle the company's affairs, so you should also know the relationship between our Zhou family and Wan family. Now, because of your existence, we The relationship between the two families is in jeopardy, and those things that Zhou Mi could have safely inherited from his father are likely to disappear. You keep saying that you love him, but do you have the heart to watch him lose everything that should belong to you? "

These words are very skillful, but Qu Zhi is a clear-headed person, and he will not be easily involved, "Auntie, as far as I know, the root cause of the Wan family's dissatisfaction is not with me. As for the things you said If things can only be exchanged by sacrificing personal feelings, then I think these things probably don’t belong to him in the first place.”

Mrs. Zhou obviously didn't expect Qu Zhi to be able to avoid the trap successfully, a sneer of contemptuous sneer was formed on the corner of her mouth to cover her inner surprise, and at the same time she put on a gesture of someone who had come here before and said: "Qu Zhi, you are still too young, too young After a while, I thought that the sentient beings were full of water, but I didn’t know that the most unreliable thing in this world is the human heart. He Zhoumi can like you today, and change to someone else tomorrow, and vice versa. The only thing that will not change is that the truth is in his own hands Interests."

"You may not understand what I mean, but I can understand your confusion. After all, people stand at different heights and see different things. For a young man from the working class like you, when you are weighing love and interests When it is more important than the other, it is common to place more emphasis on the former. But don’t forget, this is only because the interests you can touch are just a tiny corner of the whole cake. And For a family like ours, the things you hold in your hands are too big for you to imagine, and in the face of huge interests, personal emotions are not worth mentioning at all."

Qu Zhi really couldn't agree with this statement that interests are above all else, but he still said sincerely: "Auntie, maybe in your eyes, the two of us are just a whim, or even me trying to catch up, but in fact we Only we know how many difficulties we have gone through to get together in the end. There are obsessions that I couldn’t let go of at the beginning, some mistakes made by each other, and various obstacles from the outside world, but now they are all in the past, and in the future What is waiting for us is longing and hope, do you think I will choose to give up at this time?"

Mrs. Zhou didn't expect Qu Zhi to be so soft and hard, in fact, she was almost out of ideas, so she resorted to the most clichéd but most effective method according to common experience, and said coldly: "Please ask for a price, how much is it?" Can you leave him? As long as you say a number, I will never fight back, but this kind of opportunity is only once today. I advise you to be more sensible, don't toast or eat fine wine, you have to understand, if We want to separate the two of you, and there are ways."

Qu Zhi never imagined that such a vulgar plot would actually happen to him, he couldn't laugh or cry for a while, "Auntie, I like Zhou Mi, I love him, not because of who he is, nor because of what he can bring me, but because of what he can bring me. It is because he is unique to me, and there will be no one else who can replace him in the future. I advise you to take back those words just now. Such conditions are not only insulting me, but also I'm insulting him. Money is something we can earn by ourselves, and we don't need to give up anything in exchange. Even if Zhou Mi just wants to take a vacation like this, I am completely capable by myself Feed him."

After locking himself in the bathroom, Zhou Mi actually lay on the door and listened to the movement outside. What he didn't expect was that Qu Zhi's first confession to himself happened in such a scene without warning. .

Impatiently opened the door, what Zhou Mi saw was Qu Zhi's serious appearance.

Mrs. Zhou had never been so speechless before, and finally she just laughed angrily, "Okay, Qu Zhi, you really showed me what it means to be a teenager who doesn't know what it means to be sad. No problem, we will wait and see Let's see, when you really meet Kan'er who can't get over it, you still can't say such youthful and arrogant words."

After saying this, Mrs. Zhou didn't stay any longer. Qu Zhi looked at her leaving figure, and suddenly began to worry if what he just said was too much, so he said nervously, "Zhou Mi, do you blame me for saying that to your mother just now?" -"

"are you hungry?"

"Ah?" Qu Zhi was confused by Zhou Mi's sudden question. He had been nervous just now and didn't pay attention to these things, but now that he was relaxed, it seemed that he could indeed hear his stomach growling, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

Burning desire burned in Zhou Mi's eyes, and he leaned forward and said, "Me too."
