"Allergic?" Mother Jiang came over, "What did you eat? Is there any allergy medicine at home?"

Cheng Yan was a little embarrassed: "It's okay, it will be fine in a while."

"Show me." Mother Jiang walked behind Cheng Yan to check his neck.

It's a lot of red, but it doesn't look like an allergy.Jiang's mother is not stupid,? As soon as she came in, she saw Jiang Muping and Cheng Yan so close, so of course she could guess something.

It seems to be making some progress.

Mother Jiang laughed from the bottom of her heart. She didn't show any emotion on the surface. She patted the back of Cheng Yan's neck lightly, and said seriously, "It's quite serious. My neck is still so hot after allergies."

"Mom, I'm fine." Cheng Yan took a step forward and fled quickly. His movements were a little hasty, and this step almost crashed into Jiang Muping's arms.

Jiang Muping directly pulled him to his side, avoiding Jiang's mother's scrutiny.

Mother Jiang looked up at Jiang Muping, and was a little taken aback: "When did you change your glasses?"

"Not changed,? Wear it for fun."

"It's time to change, too? How many years have you been wearing those glasses before. Isn't this pair pretty good-looking."

Any changes in Jiang Muping's life will make Jiang's mother happy. Jiang's mother has always felt that Jiang Muping is a person without warmth, and the only time when she has an emotional outburst is when she announces that she likes a man.

Even when Jiang Muping confessed his sexual orientation, he looked calm and breezy, but Jiang's mother knew that this was the first time he had truly expressed himself.

At that time, I was really young, in my early twenties, and I was going to study abroad soon.He came out of the closet suddenly, making Lao Jiang think that his son was not going to study abroad, but kidnapped a man to elope.

Jiang Muping didn't elope with the man, but he still got Lao Jiang's slap.

Naturally, he would fight when he was in a hurry, not to mention that Jiang Muping chose the most inopportune time to confess his sexual orientation.The folk customs back then were not as open as they are now. Among the relatives of the Jiang family, there was also a child who liked men. He was a cousin of Jiang Muping. Because of his liking for men, this child had quarreled with the family several times.Later, he didn't know what happened, he locked himself in the bedroom, quietly swallowed medicine and committed suicide by himself.

At that time, the person was sent to Lao Jiang's hospital, and Lao Jiang had seen the child before he left.

The news spread to Jiang's family, and it was at this juncture that Jiang Muping came out of the closet.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten years later, Jiang Muping caught them off guard again. Jiang Muping's decision to get married was as sudden as when he confessed his sexuality back then.

Fortunately, this time it brought a surprise.

"When did you buy the painting at the door? It's pretty pretty."

"It was painted by Cheng Yan." Jiang Muping said.

"Did you draw it?" Mother Jiang looked at Chengyan, "It's really good."

Cheng Yan said: "I draw it casually, and decorate the house."

"Very good." Mother Jiang raised her eyelids, only to find that there was a picture hanging on the background wall of the TV. The background wall was different from before. It was redesigned and blended perfectly with the picture.

Mother Jiang looked at the picture in surprise, and murmured, "Damn..."

"Mu Ping, is this your wedding photo?"

"Ah."

"When did you learn to smoke? It's okay if your dad saw this photo?"

"I was posing."

"If you pose for a photo, just pose for a photo. Which photo is not good for you to zoom in? Do you have to zoom in on this one?"

"This one is beautiful."

Jiang's mother complained: "It's beautiful to look good, but no one takes such wedding photos."

"Our home."

Mother Jiang glanced at him, then turned to Chengyan and asked, "Are there any other photos? Show Mom, I said I wanted to see them before, but I haven't had time to come here."

"Yes, I'll bring the photo album."

Jiang's mother stopped him: "Look at it later, have you eaten yet?"

"Just about to eat."

Mother Jiang followed them into the restaurant, glanced at the table of dishes with clear soup and little water, and said disgustedly: "Is Mu Ping's meal today? How can I eat this meal, Xiaoyan, I have wronged you."

Jiang Muping sat down, "I've been eating it for more than ten years."

"Who is like you who live like a monk, you can't eat it yourself?

Jiang Muping frowned: "I can't learn how to cook."

"It's pretty good, at least I'm familiar with it." Cheng Yan smiled to smooth things over for Jiang Muping, but hearing this made people unhappy.

Mother Jiang came over to give them extra meals today. She brought a lot of homemade side dishes, took them out of the thermos and placed them on the dining table.

After setting the dishes, Mother Jiang stood up and said, "Eat first, I'll go to the bathroom."

Jiang Muping glanced at the back of Mother Jiang leaving, and asked Cheng Yan: "Should we change the password?"

Chengyan didn't react: "Huh?"

"The door lock code."

"No need, I'm afraid that my mother will be unhappy, and the old man will think about it."

Jiang Mu was silent for a moment, then asked casually: "Is it an allergy today, will it be an allergy next time?"

Cheng Yan stared at the dishes on the plate, picked up his chopsticks casually, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "I'm allergic, you said it yourself, you are an allergen."

Jiang Muping lowered his eyes and smiled, and said, "I think the old lady should be here for rounds today."

Cheng Yan raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on Jiang Muping's thin lips intentionally or unintentionally.

Jiang's mother really seemed to be here for rounds, and she almost bumped into their "can't help it" just now.Jiang Muping probably wanted to kiss him just now, right?Anyway, he really wanted to kiss Jiang Muping.

Jiang Muping's guess was right, Jiang's mother was indeed here to check the ward.The old lady walked to the door of the guest room after washing her hands in the bathroom, quietly opened the door, revealing a crack in the door, and glanced inside through the crack.

Chengyan and Jiang Muping have not been sleeping together for a long time, and Jiang Muping's bedding in the guest room has not been tidied up yet.Now Jiang's mother misunderstood, thinking that they still slept in separate rooms, she was very happy at first, but now she will be disappointed again.

It's really boring to talk too much about some things, and she doesn't want to keep nagging in front of the two children: they want to sleep together, they want to sleep together.The twisted melon is not sweet, it turned out that it was her illusion that the two of them had made progress just now.

Mother Jiang sighed softly and closed the door.

Jiang's mother didn't show any abnormality at the dinner table. She didn't want to interfere too much with Jiang Muping's marriage.

After dinner, Chengyan showed the wedding photos to Jiang's mother. Jiang's mother had never seen such a wedding photo, so she couldn't tell whether it was good or bad, only that it was quite creative.Cheng Yan guessed that the old lady probably couldn't accept this style.

Jiang's mother sat for a while and then left. When she went out and entered the elevator, Jiang's father called her and asked her where she had been.

"Here we are, Mu Ping, ready to go home."

"Do you want to pick you up?"

"No need." Mother Jiang pressed the button on the first floor, "I drove here by myself."

"Old Jiang."

"what happened?"

Mother Jiang sighed: "Your son makes me worry too much."

"What did he do?"

"He and Chengyan are still sleeping in separate rooms, I thought they were already sleeping together."

"I don't like how to sleep together." Jiang's father said angrily, "I shouldn't have let him get married so easily. He always thinks about it when he does things."

Mother Jiang disagreed: "Only once or twice."

"Every time is a big event in life."

Jiang's mother was speechless, but she believed that Jiang Muping's every decision must be carefully considered, and Jiang Muping was far more rational than they thought.

"Forget it, the marriage is over. Regardless of whether they have feelings for each other, it's a good state to respect each other as guests."

"Okay? I don't think it's good at all." Jiang's father said calmly, "Do you want him to treat someone he doesn't love like a guest all his life? Is this fair to Chengyan? In my opinion, this marriage is worse than divorce."

Mother Jiang frowned: "You are too extreme."

"Chengyan has come to our house for dinner a few times, and he is very restrained every time, including going to the elder brother's house before. I can see that he is uncomfortable."

"He just married Mu Ping, and he doesn't know our relatives very well. After all, he needs to get used to it."

"I think he can only adapt to Mu Ping." Jiang's father seemed to see clearly, "When Mu Ping is not around, he will isolate himself from everything outside."

"You've only been in contact with him a few times—"

"You don't need much contact to feel these things at all," Father Jiang interrupted her, "Do you think Mu Ping can't feel them?"

Mother Jiang looked hesitant.

"Hui Fang, have you ever thought that if Mu Ping has no feelings for Cheng Yan, this marriage will be an invisible burden to Cheng Yan? Anyway, I don't understand why he married Mu Ping."

"It must be because I like Mu Ping."

Father Jiang snorted coldly: "You really have confidence in your son."

Jiang's mother laughed and scolded: "You will never look down on your son."

"Come back quickly, I made tremella and lotus seed porridge for you, it's still hot."

"understood."

Cheng Yan and Jiang Muping were watching TV in the living room, Cheng Yan stared at the photo on the background wall of the TV, and asked Jiang Muping: "Do you think we should remove this photo?"

"Need not."

"I'm afraid Dad will be angry when he sees it."

"This is our wedding photo, don't worry about what he thinks." Jiang Muping was typing on his mobile phone, as if he was chatting with someone.

Cheng Yan continued to watch TV without speaking.

Jiang Muping turned his head and glanced at Cheng Yan.

His mother is gone, maybe they can continue what they just did, but Cheng Yan was so focused on watching that he couldn't speak.

In the chat group, people kept swiping the screen, talking about going to New Zealand in the New Year, and the chatter was very excited.Jiang Muping seldom shows up in the group. He said something in the group just now, which attracted several people to attack him. Now he can't even get back the news.

Jiang Muping seldom chatted with his mobile phone all the time, Cheng Yan was a little curious, but he was embarrassed to ask who he chatted with so vigorously.

"Professor Jiang." Cheng Yan called out.

People in the group wished Jiang Muping a happy wedding. Jiang Muping typed out the word "thank you" and was about to send it.

"Huh?" Jiang Muping turned his head.

Cheng Yan licked his lips, he would subconsciously lick his lips when he was thinking.

"Would you like to go to my hometown?"

"Jiangzhou?"

Cheng Yan turned his head: "You know?"

"know."

"Yeah." Cheng Yan nodded, "I want to go back to my hometown on the third day of the Lunar New Year to visit my aunt. Do you want to go? Maybe you will stay there for a few days."

Jiang Muping hummed without thinking: "Okay."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Muping bowed his head and continued to reply to the message.

Cheng Yan finally couldn't help asking: "Who are you chatting with?"

"Friends in the group."

Chengyan let out an oh.

Thinking about it, Jiang Muping must have a lot of friends, but he usually uses his mobile phone very infrequently, he is not a mobile phone family, and he rarely uses his mobile phone to chat with Cheng Yan online.

The task assigned by his aunt was completed, and the stone in Chengyan's heart fell to the ground. He was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower, but when he stood up, he found that Jiang Muping's attention was still on the phone screen.

He suddenly realized that there were many people besides him in Jiang Muping's world.

Just like in Lin Weijing's world, in addition to Cheng Yan, his biological brother, there are adoptive parents who are closer than his biological parents.

He is not necessarily needed.

"I went to take a shower."

"Ah."

Not long after Cheng Yan left, Jiang Muping called Yan Qing.

"Yan Qing, I'm not going to New Zealand."

"Didn't you still talk well in the group just now? Why didn't you go again suddenly? Everyone is waiting to see your husband."

"I want to accompany my husband back to his hometown."
