I can't hold back my heart

The adults greeted each other in the living room, chatting and laughing, Li Li stood restlessly, staring at Jiang Mu who was carrying a watermelon.

Jiang Mu noticed that Li Li was looking at him, and took a few steps towards her, "Li Li, where do you put this watermelon?"

The watermelon was big and heavy, and Jiang Mu's fingers were already red from the plastic bag, but he didn't show it on his face, and asked calmly.

Li Li is in a daze right now, she doesn't have the time to think about what to do with the watermelon.

"Go to the kitchen to wash it, and open the refrigerator." Wei Yuwan had been silently observing her daughter and Jiang Mu, reminding her in due course.

Jiang Mu nodded, "I'll go right away."

"Xiaomu, the kitchen is over there." Wei Yuwan raised her finger in fear that Jiang Mu wouldn't find it.

Jiang Mu carried the watermelon and walked to the kitchen. After greeting Jiang Shen, Li Xuan, who was going back to the kitchen to continue cooking, decided to wait until Jiang Mu finished washing the watermelon before going back.

Li Li stayed in place for a few seconds before remembering that sister Wei Xi was in the kitchen, and she hurried to catch up with Jiang Mu.

"Give me the watermelon, I'll wash it, you just go and sit." She said anxiously.

Jiang Mu smiled, didn't notice Li Li's expression was wrong, and didn't give Li Li the watermelon, "It's very heavy, let me do it."

After speaking, he walked around Li Li and walked into the kitchen. Li Li knew that it was impossible to hide this matter, so he gave up struggling and followed Jiang Mu into the kitchen.

After washing the baby dishes, Wei Xi began to prepare Li Li's favorite stuffed pepper. Today, Uncle Li is the chef, and she helped him. The minced meat was finely chopped, with shallots and sweet loofahs added, and the green peppers were also washed. After cleaning, she lowered her head and stuffed the stuffing into the green peppers, when she heard footsteps, someone entered the kitchen.

"Li Li, do you prefer to cut watermelon in half vertically and then cut into long strips, or cut watermelon into quarters and then cut into three-dimensional triangles?" A topic related to watermelon.

Put the watermelon in the stainless steel sink, gently turn on the spout, and carefully wash both sides of the watermelon, but he still couldn't wait for Li Li's reply.

Turning her head, she saw that Li Li was staring at the back of another person in the kitchen without taking her eyes off her.

Jiang Mu looked over curiously, and the man also turned to face him.

"Wei... Instructor Wei?" Jiang Mu stuttered in surprise.

It was a picture he had never imagined.

Last night, Instructor Wei told him that she and Li Li didn't have a good relationship, but she showed up in Li Li's kitchen the next day, helping to prepare lunch.

No matter how you look at this relationship, you can't say it's bad, can you?

Even subtle.

At this moment, Li Xuan walked into the kitchen again. After waiting in the living room for a while, he felt that Jiang Mu's watermelon had been washed for a long time, so he came in to have a look.

"Are the three of you playing the staring game?" Li Xuan didn't notice the subtle atmosphere, and laughed and joked, breaking the awkward silence in the kitchen.

Jiang Mu reacted with a stiff smile, "No, Uncle Li, I was surprised to see Instructor Wei all of a sudden."

"Instructor Wei?" Li Xuan was also surprised, "Xiao Wei, you have been an instructor before."

Wei Xi nodded slightly, "Yes, uncle." He didn't explain much.

Then he turned his head and said to Jiang Mu: "After washing, bring the watermelon over here. Cut the watermelon first, and there are still a few dishes to do."

"Okay...Okay." Jiang Mu carried the washed watermelon to a clean cutting board, Wei Xi washed his hands, took out a fruit knife with a green handle from a row of knives, and cut the watermelon into pieces In two halves, rinse the knife with water and put it back in place.

Jiang Mu asked, "Don't you need to cut it smaller?"

Wei Xi didn't answer, and continued to brew green peppers. Li Xuan whispered back to Jiang Mu, "A Li likes to hold half a watermelon by herself and eat it with a spoon."

"Dad!" Li Li was a little annoyed when she saw her father casually revealing her preferences.

Li Xuan patted her on the shoulder reassuringly, "Hurry up and take the watermelon to the refrigerator and freeze it. You can eat iced watermelon after dinner."

Ignoring his father's comfort, Li Li carried half of the watermelon and walked out of the kitchen, and Jiang Mu hurried out with the other half of the watermelon.

Li Li put the watermelon into the refrigerator specially for fruits and beverages, and closed the refrigerator door directly. Jiang Mu came over, bent his elbows and opened the refrigerator door.

"Li Li, why is Instructor Wei here?" Jiang Mu asked tentatively.

When he was in the kitchen just now, he heard Uncle Li call Instructor Wei Xiao Wei, he seemed to be very familiar with Instructor Wei, and his tone and attitude were even better than those with him, Jiang Mu unconsciously compared with Instructor Wei.

Li Li, who hadn't decided what to say, gave Jiang Mu a resentful look, and Jiang Mu surrendered: "I won't ask any more."

Obviously at home, Li Li doesn't know which corner is safe and comfortable. There are guests at home, so it's not good to go back to the room. She hides alone, and Wei Xi's sister is helping in the kitchen, which is even worse.

After thinking about it, she decided to go to the kitchen to fight, and Jiang Mu followed, but Li Xuan finally invited her out of the kitchen by saying, "Xiao Mu, you are a guest, just go out and sit."

Standing outside the kitchen, Jiang Mu looked at Instructor Wei who had been busy in the kitchen since he arrived, and his heart seemed to be filled with jealousy.

He is a guest, so isn't Instructor Wei a guest?

Jiang Mu couldn't figure it out, and returned to the living room with such doubts. His parents were chatting with Aunt Wei, and he sat down beside his father without saying a word.

In the kitchen, after struggling for a few minutes, Li Xuan decided to explain to his daughter: "A Li, Uncle Jiang's family came today because of my friendship. We have no intention of continuing to bring you and Jiang Mu together."

Li Li was stuffing a big ball of meat into the green pepper, and when she heard her father's words, she couldn't control the excitement and burst the green pepper, "Really?" She asked, with a bit of doubt in her tone.

The pork rib soup was ready, Li Xuan added seasonings to the soup, and said: "Of course, who you fall in love with still depends on what you like. Parents are not feudal patriarchs, and they don't follow the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers." That set."

Hearing her father's words so enlightened, Li Li's heart was agitated.

She stuffed the ruined broken green pepper into Wei Xi's hand and handed it to Wei Xi for rescue.

She continued to test her father's attitude, "Dad, is what you said true?"

"What's real?" Li Li smiled, with obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, "When did Dad ever lie to you?"

"That's not true." Li Li lowered her head and asked in a muffled voice, "Dad, what if I tell you... I don't like boys?"

I don't like boys... Li Xuan's hand holding the soup ladle paused, and a smile appeared on his swollen face after a while, "If you don't like boys, what do you like? You child, come and help Dad taste these ribs The soup is salty or bland."

Li Xuan swung the bottom of a small soup ladle on the oily soup surface, pushed aside the oily surface, scooped up half a ladle of clear soup and blew it on his mouth, and then brought it to his daughter's mouth when it was no longer hot.

Seeing her father's earnest smile, Li Li lowered her head to try the soup, knowing in her heart that her father didn't take what she just tried seriously at all.

"How is it?" Seeing his daughter looking up, Li Xuan hurriedly asked, "Do you want to add more salt?"

After the wife was pregnant, she ate very lightly, otherwise she would easily vomit if there was too much oil and salt, but today there are guests at home, Li Che thinks it is necessary to balance the needs of the two.

"It's just right, there's no need to add it." After Li Li finished speaking, his father heaved a sigh of relief.

Not reconciled, she called out again: "Dad."

"What's wrong?" Li Xuan asked his daughter out of a bowl of soup.

Li Li's heart was hardened, and she asked directly: "Dad, can you seriously answer my previous question?"

"What was the problem before?" Li Xuan put down the spoon and looked at her daughter seriously, "What if you don't like boys?"

"Yes, this is it." Li Li nodded, with the determination of a strong man to sever his wrist.

Li Xuan smiled, "A Li, you are still young, and you don't meet many outstanding boys, and you haven't met one you like, so you won't say that when you do."

"I think your mother was the same as you before she met your father. She felt that the world is full of scumbags and there are no good men left. Then she met her father and fell in love very quickly." Li Xuan used a recent example to give her daughter an example, There was a happy smile on his face.

Li Li was even more anxious, she and her father were chatting across frequency.

Suddenly her elbow was lightly touched, she turned her head and saw Wei Xi shook her head lightly, she knew that Wei Xi was telling her to take it easy, but she just couldn't be reconciled.

Dad picked up the spare rib soup and was about to send it to the living room, Li Li stretched out his hand to hold Dad's arm.

Li Xuan stopped, the soup was too hot, so he had to put it back on the kitchen counter, and asked dotingly: "A Li, what's the matter?"

"Father, what I mean is that I don't like boys, I like girls." Li Li went all out.

The smile on Li Xuan's face was instantly crushed, and Wei Xi's movement of brewing green peppers also stopped. She didn't expect Li Li to suddenly reveal his sexuality.

"Father?" Li Li continued to ask: "If I really like girls, what will happen to you and mom? Can you accept it?"

The muscles on Li Xuan's face stiffened into lumps, and it was obvious that he couldn't accept it for a while.

"...Father serves the food first. We can talk about anything after your Uncle Jiang leaves." Li Xuan finished speaking, picked up the pork rib soup on the kitchen counter again, and walked out of the kitchen quickly.

"Li Li, are you determined to confess to your uncle and aunt today?" Wei Xi asked seriously after brewing the last green pepper.

Li Li nodded heavily, and took her hands. Their hands were still sticky with a little meat, "Sister Wei Xi, you always have to say, don't you reject Jiang Mu? A different Jiang Mu."

"Sister Wei Xi, are you afraid?" Li Li asked. She was actually a little scared. When she asked her father just now, her father's hesitation, erratic eyes, and changing the subject made her panic.

Wei Xi closed his eyes, let out a sigh of relief, looked at her with a gloomy expression, "I'm just a little worried about Auntie, she is pregnant, and I will definitely be excited when I find out."

Thinking of her mother, Li Li fell into silence again. It was obviously love, so why would there be an extra obstacle for the same sex?

Before her father returned to the kitchen, Li Li withdrew his hand from Wei Xi's, Wei Xi closed his eyes and said nothing.

At the dinner table, the two parents chatted happily. The three young people, Li Li, Wei Xi, and Jiang Mu, each had their own concerns. From time to time, Li Xuan felt uncomfortable when he thought of his daughter saying that he liked girls, but he still kept a smile on his face.

At the dinner table, Wei Xi was the most embarrassed. When Jiang Mu's parents asked who she was, Uncle Li replied that she was Li Li's good friend.

Despite hints from the little girl in the kitchen, Uncle Li seemed to trust her, not realizing that she was the one who pried his precious daughter away.

After eating, Li Xuan took out half a watermelon from the refrigerator and cut it. After everyone finished eating the watermelon, they talked and laughed for a while, and Jiang Mu's family was about to leave.

Li Xuan got up and sent them downstairs, "A Li, you also go to see them off." Wei Yuwan said to her daughter, unable to move.

Li Li had no choice but to follow her downstairs, Wei Xi was embarrassed and sat in the living room with Aunt Wei.

I quickly went downstairs and out the door. The sun at two o'clock in the afternoon was extremely strong, the light was dazzling, and the temperature was scorching.

When the two elders said goodbye to each other, Jiang Mu also called Li Li aside.

Li Li just wanted to express her position to Jiang Mu again, so she stood by him.

Unexpectedly, when Jiang Mu opened his mouth, what he said was: "Li Li, are you dating Wei instructor?"

Li Li's eyes widened in shock, and she heard Jiang Mu continue to say: "When you were in the Taekwondo gym, you were already together, right?"

Seeing Li Li's expression confirmed Jiang Mu's guess, he looked up at the glaring sunlight above his head, and felt a little relieved, although he was still a little bit unwilling.

"What do you want?" Li Li stared at him with a fierce tone.

Jiang Mu lowered his head, stared into Li Li's eyes, and smiled bitterly: "I bless you all."

The author has something to say: Jiang Mu is still clear
