When Chen Que said "Mom", the two sitting and the one on the screen were all stunned.

"No, it's not..." Chen Que quickly changed his words after realizing it, "Hello, Auntie."

When others introduced their family members, they always said "this is my mother", but Gu Mingyi did not follow the usual path, saying "this is my mother" directly disrupted Chen Que's rhythm.

It even made Chen Que start to wonder if he just cleaned up the things in his mind in the bathroom, and actually followed Gu Mingyi's words and called out to Gu Mingyi's mother.

Sitting next to Chen Que, Gu Mingyi couldn't help laughing, and joked, "It's not wrong to call her mother."

Chen Que pursed his lips, and grabbed Gu Mingyi's thigh where the camera couldn't capture it.

Mother Gu looked at the helpless boy on the screen with a soft smile.

"Don't be nervous, I'm just curious about what kind of boy Xiaoyi can like for so many years."

Chen Que was not good at words, and now he was even worse in front of Gu's mother.

"Just when I meet my family early, don't be too cautious." When Gu's mother spoke, like Gu Mingyi, she liked to lengthen the ending sound a little, which sounded very soothing.

Chen Que nodded with red ears and said yes.

Seeing Chen Que's nervousness, Gu's mother brought the topic to daily life.

From chatting about what to eat at night to sitting in the city all day to exercise more.

From paying attention to rest and not being greedy for cool talk to having a balanced nutrition.

Gu's mother is like a child who is worried about the poor quality of life of a child who is away from home, and asks about every detail.

During the chat, Chen Que’s nose was inexplicably sour. It has been a long time since anyone told him these words as an elder. Even Brother Gao and Auntie Ji would mention that Chen Que should pay attention to his body, but it is different from the experience he got from Gu’s mother. The feeling is different.

With slightly red eyes, Chen Que sniffed.

"What's wrong? Is it a cold?" Mother Gu asked when she heard Chen Que sniffling, "Did you wear too little in the air-conditioned room? Xiaoyi, take care of him."

Gu Mingyi rubbed the back of Chen Que's upright hands, and said yes with a smile.

"I watched the match between you and Xiaoyi a little bit, but I couldn't understand it." Gu's mother said with a smile, "If there is a chance, can you and Xiaoyi come to Italy and teach me?"

Chen Que nodded quickly: "Yes, auntie."

The three of you chattered homely, and after a while, Mother Gu rang something, and said to the screen: "Xiaoyi, can I have a few words with him alone?"

Chen Que panicked.

Is there anything Gu Mingyi can't listen to?

Is it the same plot as the mentally handicapped drama Chijia watched, give you 500 million to leave my son?

"Mom, is there anything I can't listen to?" Gu Mingyi asked.

"No, just as a mother, I want to talk to my daughter-in-law..." Mother Gu thought for a while, and found a suitable substitute word, "I want to have a private conversation with my son's boyfriend, can't I?"

"All right, all right." Gu Mingyi handed the phone to Chen Que, "I'll go downstairs and play some games."

"Pay attention to your eyes, remember to supplement the vitamins you need!" Gu's mother raised her voice and shouted.

Gu Mingyi walked to the door, said "OK!", closed the door and went downstairs.

Chen Que was the only one left in the whole room. He looked at the gentle woman on the screen of his mobile phone, and his mood that had just relaxed a little bit became tense again.

"Xiao Que, can I call you that?" Mother Gu asked with a smile, bending her eyes.

Chen Que nodded hastily: "Yes, auntie."

Gu's mother called him, and then said: "Jade looks good on your neck, your skin is fair, it fits very well."

Chen Que lowered his head and glanced at the Hetian jade pendant hanging around his neck.

"A few weeks before Xiaoyi left Italy, she asked me for this piece of jade." Gu's mother put her mobile phone on the garden table and leaned against the teacup. Gu's mother on the screen shrank a lot, and her voice became smaller. A little light, "I joked with him at the time that this piece of jade was reserved for my future daughter-in-law and could not be given to him in advance."

"Then he told me that he doesn't like girls, he likes boys, and there is a boy he has liked for many years waiting for him back in China." Mother Gu's eyes fell gently on the white roses in the garden, "Actually I didn't feel too surprised, when I entered his room before, I saw your name on many, many of his books, and when he was in a daze, he would subconsciously write your name."

Chen Que's memory went back to the day when the two of them were reviewing the tape in the conference room. Gu Mingyi was distracted during the review and also wrote a lot of his name on the tablet.

"Xiao Que, your name doesn't look like a girl. I asked him, is the boy you like named Chen Que? He said yes." Gu's mother said.

Chen Que pursed his lips and didn't speak for a long time. He didn't know why Gu's mother suddenly told him this matter.

"Don't be nervous, I don't object to his sexual orientation." Gu's mother said softly, "I just feel that I'm so sorry for the past few years in Italy. When he saw your relaxed expression in the interviews during the game, I already... "

"I haven't seen it for several years." Mother Gu's voice was a little choked up.

"Don't cry..." Chen Que has no experience in comforting others, let alone Gu Mingyi's elders, he has never disliked his stupid mouth so much.

"It's okay." Mother Gu smiled and raised her hand to wipe the corners of her eyes, "I'm very happy."

"I asked him if he had caught up with you, and he said he was still working hard." Gu's mother said, "At that time, I thought, if it wasn't for me, he wouldn't have missed you for the past few years. Suggest that he tell you the reason for leaving, at least it will be clearer."

"But he said he didn't want to trade his experience for your forgiveness."

Mother Gu spoke very slowly, she recounted softly while recalling.

"What's wrong with him?"

After the two had been together, Chen Que never thought about why Gu Mingyi left without saying goodbye, as if he had suddenly disappeared from the world, but just because he didn't think about it didn't mean he wouldn't think about it.

More than once he would wake up at night, only to be relieved when he saw that someone was still sleeping beside him.

"Didn't Xiaoyi tell you now?" Gu's mother was a little surprised, "I thought you would ask after you were together."

Chen Que shook his head: "I didn't ask."

No need to ask, nor dare to ask.

"Then do you want to hear a story?" Mother Gu asked, "But it's not a good story."

This matter was originally a small thorn, but now it was brought up suddenly, and it must be a lie to say that he didn't want to.

Chen Que nodded lightly.

"Actually, it's not a good thing to remember." Mother Gu raised her hand, looked at the ring mark on her finger that had not been covered by the new ring, and slowly told the story to Chen Que.

"It's just a vulgar story of a lady from a family and a poor boy who decided to live their lives privately and was let down."

"The day before I left with Xiaoyi, a woman came to the door with a baby in her arms, and said she wanted to ask Xiaoyi's father for an explanation and a title."

"I have never experienced hardship since I was a child. I should be considered as a spoiled child. So I never knew that he cheated on the outside and lingered in the flowers. It was only because he often didn't go home because of work. At that time, I naturally didn't He is willing to accept this fact, but before I asked for a paternity test, he agreed by himself, saying that there is no need for a test and that the child is his."

"It can only be blamed on me being too weak at the time. I couldn't accept the fact that I left this country overnight with Xiaoyi. Then... I fell ill. In order to prevent Xiaoyi from contacting him, I almost frantically cut off This is the reason why he didn't contact you."

When Gu's mother was talking about this, she still had a relieved smile on her face. This smile fell into Chen Que's eyes, and it turned into dense distress, for Gu's mother and for Gu Mingyi.

In his mind, Gu Mingyi should have grown up in a honey pot, and all the good things in the world should belong to him.

"Thank you for your willingness to love him." Gu's mother said sincerely, "Recalling the years when Xiaoyi accompanied me to treat diseases in Italy, because I always refused to see a doctor, his emotions may have been affected by me, and he was very nervous. ...be decadent."

"I don't know when it started, he couldn't sleep all night, he became very anxious and depressed, and his body became thinner day by day, and the problem of night blindness was also left at that time." Gu's mother's voice Zhongman apologized, "At that time, my own condition was too bad, and I didn't have the heart to take care of him at all. If it wasn't for Xiao Dan who worried about us and came to Italy, I might not have noticed his strangeness."

"It's all over now. I can see Xiaoyi doing what she likes and loving the people she likes without any burden. I am already very satisfied."

Listening to Gu's mother talking about these things, Chen Que's heart felt as if someone had picked it up and twisted it, it hurt so badly.

Gu Mingyi always smiles in front of him, has no temper, and will coax him unconditionally.

"Xiao Que, don't misunderstand Auntie. I'm not telling you this for moral kidnapping to keep you by Xiaoyi's side. If you feel that he is no longer suitable for you in the future, you have the right to propose separation." Gu's mother said, "I'm telling you this, but Auntie hopes you don't blame him for leaving without saying goodbye. If you want to blame, blame me."

Chen Que tried to hook the corner of his mouth, but he couldn't smile at all, so he had to give up. He shook his head: "I don't blame you, and I won't be separated from him."

Gu's mother smiled: "Good boy, if possible, when we meet in the future, please call me mother in person."

Chen Que rolled his eyes and nodded.

After hanging up the video call, Chen Que hadn't gotten out of the pain. He couldn't imagine how such a gentle person got through those years.

He didn't dare to think about what kind of mood Gu Mingyi was in after he rejected him so many times when the two reunited, full of enthusiasm, and came to his side time and time again.

Chen Que put down his phone and sat on the chair silently.

His heart was throbbing uncomfortably, Chen Que took a deep breath, opened the drawer, and found out the unfinished pack of cigarettes he bought a few months ago.

His fingers trembled so badly that he had to light the lighter three times before he could barely light the cigarette.

Cigarettes that have been left for too long don't taste so good, but now, apart from nicotine, Chen Que doesn't know how to calm down his emotions.

It hurts so much.

The soot fell to the ground, and the smoke with a damp and strange smell was exhaled, which did not make him feel less distressed.

Chen Que lowered his head and covered his eyes.

Tears slipped from his fingers.
