Dead after eight years [rebirth]

Love and hate have to stick to one, the love in the previous life was rootless and fruitless, and Cheng Shuibei doesn't want to hate in this life either.

"I see, thank you for telling me this." Cheng Shuibei smiled and picked up Zhang Ci'an's sleeve and straightened the folds of the cuff for him.

Then he dragged the people and walked quickly in the direction of home.

"Let's go and go home quickly. Shao's food is terrible. It's all fresh flowers. It's not as good as whole meat. I'll cook instant noodles later. If you want to eat, you can add two eggs!"

"it is good."

The New Year's Eve is getting closer, the little monkey and grandma have just moved into Cheng's small courtyard and there are still a lot of things left to be cleaned up, so Cheng Shuibei simply took his brother to the west of the city, half to pay New Year's greetings and half to help.

Originally, he wanted to take Chacha home to see his mother, but Baiyun went back to his hometown with his master for the New Year, and he didn't even see a shadow. Cheng Shuibei had no choice but to give up and let Cheng Nan take the puppy to play near the yard. Don't eat indiscriminately and repeat her father's mistakes.

The little monkey insisted on letting grandma live in the main house to bask more in the sun, so he got into the small house where Cheng Shuibei used to live.Cheng Shuibei cleaned up Touching's wound, feeling indescribable in his heart.But those are all in the past, and now he and his brother are doing well, Dad will be at ease.

During lunch, Miss Xiaoru also came, carrying two big bags full of snacks and fruits.

Grandma smiled and pulled Xiaoru to talk, and the little monkey grabbed the corner of his clothes awkwardly, fidgeting like a real monkey.

When Xiaoru first came to Jiangshuo as an apprentice, she was scolded and cried by her master on the first day. Hou Chuang saw it just in front of the store, basking in the sun, so he invited the little girl to sit in his bookstore, and talked about his past experience as an apprentice to comfort her. She was all afternoon.

The two got to know each other after a while, and the little girl cared, knowing that before going back to her hometown at the end of the new year, she would come to pay grandma New Year's greetings and thank her brother Hou for taking care of her.

Seeing what Xiaoru thinks is good, grandma held hands and refused to let go until the little girl had to go home in the afternoon, then kicked her grandson's ass to urge the little monkey to send him to the station.

When Cheng Shuibei delivered the gift, he simply left with him.He hadn't decided where to go, whether to go home or find a place to play, Zhang Ci'an called and said that Boss Zhang was not at home today, and asked Cheng Shuibei if he wanted to go to the east of the city for dinner.

Cheng Shuibei knew that he wanted to see Aunt Dou, and it was inconvenient for Cheng Nan to hear some things, so after promising Zhang Ci'an, he sent his brother to Shao's house to play with Xiaotuo.

"Play well with my brother, I'll pick you up after dinner." Cheng Shuibei left with his arms in his arms. Cheng Nan knew that he didn't like his mother, so he didn't ask her to stay.

As soon as he walked to the gate of Shao's house, Zhang Ci'an inside was already waiting with Niuniu on his hand.As soon as Chacha saw Niuniu, he jumped out of Brother Xiaobei's arms and rolled with Dabai Tuanzi to play.

Cheng Shuibei was holding a paper bag in his hand, and in front of Zhang's servants, he didn't dare to get close to Master Zhang, so he could only wave his empty hand awkwardly in the air, and let Zhang Ci'an lead him in.

Dou Shuyi was sitting at the edge of the long table tending flowers and plants. When Cheng Shuibei saw her, his heart beat wildly with nervousness.

What to say, what to say?

"Auntie...Hi Auntie, this is...a small gift, I hope you like it." Cheng Shuibei presented the gift he brought from Yunan with both hands, and stood by the side as if waiting to die.

It was Dou Shuyi, who didn't see anything unexpected, raised her hand and pulled Cheng Shuibei to sit beside her, and opened the gift from the junior in front of him.

What Cheng Shuibei gave was a pearl necklace, the brand was chosen by Zhang Ci'an, and the style was chosen by him.

Xiaoyi's mother told Xiaoyi that pearls are a symbol of bravery, and only those who are still crystal clear in the face of suffering are worthy of being pearls.Cheng Shuibei chose this simple and inconspicuous pearl necklace among Yishui's gorgeous and glittering luxury goods.

"It's a pearl necklace, hurry up, Xiaoci help me put it on!" Dou Shuyi really liked it, so she asked her son to help her put it on.

Zhang Ci'an didn't step forward, but just glanced at Cheng Shuibei: "Mom, Xiaobei is obviously closer to you, why do you still order me?"

"Just play lazy, Xiaobei, Auntie is going to trouble you!" Dou Shuyi lifted up the necklace and looked at Cheng Shuibei with a smile.

Cheng Shuibei hurriedly got up knowingly, and carefully walked around behind to help Aunt Dou put on the necklace. The plain white necklace seemed to emit a new faint light when it reached Dou Shuyi's neck, which made people radiant.

"Sister Hu, help me see if it looks good!"

Aunt Hu, who was waiting on the side, repeatedly praised the beauty, and very perceptively asked someone to remove the flower arrangement from the table.

Dou Shuyi smiled happily, just like the day when she met Cheng Shuibei after playing tennis, her smile was bright and relaxed.

She suddenly remembered something, and shouted to her son who was not far away: "Zhang Ci'an, can I trouble you to go to the study and get the box on the shelf?"

Zhang Ci'an agreed, but did not leave in a hurry. After Cheng Shuibei showed "Don't worry, I can do it" in his eyes, he went upstairs.

Aunt Hu went outside the yard to watch Niuniu and Chacha fight, and only Cheng Shuibei and Dou Shuyi were left in the living room on the first floor.

In the center of the long table are the flowers that Dou Shuyi has just prepared, and the plain white and elegant lily of the valley hangs in the middle of the long slanting bluegrass leaves, which is extraordinarily fresh.

"Xiaobei, Auntie is sorry for calling Xiaoci so abruptly to invite you to my house for dinner. Today, your Uncle Zhang is not here, so Auntie just wants to meet you. As Xiaoci's mother, I want to meet my son's lover."

Cheng Shuibei never thought that Aunt Dou would be so direct, but the words "as a mother meeting her son's lover" moved him very much.

Such straightforward affirmation and acceptance was an experience Cheng Shuibei had never had before.

"Auntie, I..."

Cheng Shuibei lowered his head half embarrassed and half touched, not knowing what to say.

But Dou Shuyi asked first, "How are you doing in Yunan?"

She went on to add: "My son always reports good news but not bad news. My aunt just wants to know if you are doing well."

In today's society, how much courage does it take to walk with a lover of the same gender.Dou Shuyi feels sorry for her son, and also for Cheng Shuibei in front of her. She doesn't know how much pressure these two young people have to live together.

Thousands of words, only one sentence.

"We are fine, Auntie," Cheng Shuibei felt her concern, and his nervousness and timidity dissipated a little bit, "We live together very well. During the day he goes to school and I go to work, and at night we have dinner together. After the Chinese New Year, I also have to go to school Now, life will get better and better."

He thought for a while, and then added: "Even Cheng Nan doesn't know about the two of us, so no one will gossip. Maybe the road ahead will be very difficult, but with Auntie's blessing, I believe everything will be fine .”

"Auntie, thank you for giving Zhang Ci'an such a good life."

Dou Shuyi's fingers curled up on the table, and the rhythm of tapping could tell that she had some mood swings.

"It's Auntie who wants to thank you, thank you for loving Xiaoci." Dou Shuyi stretched out a hand to Cheng Shuibei, showing her tolerance and approval.

No mother wishes for a bad life for her child.

Cheng Shuibei tentatively held out his hand, but Dou Shuyi quickly noticed it and held it tightly.

"Xiaobei, I didn't call you here today, like in the novel, to make things difficult for you and let you leave Xiaoci. I just want to tell you that the world is already so hard, so what if mom doesn't treat you better?"

Dou Shuyi's tears of excitement fell on Cheng Shuibei's hand that she was holding tightly. She faced Cheng Shuibei and called herself her mother.

"Since you and Xiaoci are together, you are both mother's children. I will protect you. As for your Uncle Zhang, leave it to me. Don't worry, my mother has no great abilities. The greatest ability is to be brave enough. "

In the gravel of life, be a brave pearl.

Cheng Shuibei didn't want to admit that he was about to cry when Mama Dou said two or three words to a manly man, but the corners of his eyes were rosy, and soon he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

At this time, Zhang Ci'an came down from upstairs, or he might have stood by for a long time, waiting for his mother to finish everything.

"I brought the things, why are you crying, Ms. Dou?" Zhang Ci'an sat down on the other side of Dou Shuyi, took his mother's other hand and teased her, coaxing Dou Shuyi to pat the back of his hand.

"It's okay," Cheng Shuibei hurriedly replied, "Mom is trying to explain the truth to me, but I have some idiots, and she is too anxious."

Cheng Shuibei finally had someone he could blatantly call his mother.

"Xiaobei, don't talk about yourself like that. It's my mother who wants to cry. It's not your fault."

Dou Shuyi was so amused by the two people that she burst into laughter, wiped away her tears, motioned for Zhang Ci'an to hand over the box, and then took out the contents to show Cheng Shuibei one by one.

The small square box is densely packed with exquisite business cards, photos, keepsakes and contact information.

"This is your uncle Zhang's old comrade-in-arms in Yunan. You should be called Uncle Wu," Dou Shuyi showed Cheng Shuibei a photo. In the photo was a photo of Boss Zhang and an officer. The address of a certain unit was written on the back , Cheng Shuibei once passed by there, and he was so serious that he was inspected by attention when he passed by. The uncle in the photo should be a very powerful person, "If you need help with anything, your uncle and I will meet again for a while If you can't make it to Yunan, you can contact Uncle Wu, here, his phone number is here!"

This photo is well preserved and should be a very important token.

"And this, this is the phone number of the person in charge of the law firm that Uncle Zhang's company often cooperates with, and that is the copyright lawyer in charge of my publishing matters, these, and these are all from Yunan and other places. Xiao Ci said that you want to major in law. Auntie wanted to give you a book, but she was worried that you didn’t need it. After thinking about it, she urged Uncle Zhang to sort out these things. If you want to do an internship if you need it, just go Get in touch, we'll greet you!"

At a glance, among the top ten domestic law firms, there are nine business cards here, and there are some legends that Cheng Shuibei can only see in textbooks.Some are not just business cards, but also other keepsakes, which also symbolize the connections and identities of the Zhang family.

Cheng Shuibei is different from Zhang Ci'an, and Dou Shuyi just wants to give Cheng Shuibei all the support and care she can give as an elder and family member.

These small square pieces are very powerful, even if Cheng Shuibei wants to uphold justice and make a hole in the sky, he will be able to retreat unscathed.

But Xiao Cheng didn't want to poke holes, he just wanted to be like Zhang Ci'an, a child with mother's love.

He mustered up the courage to move closer to Dou Shuyi.

"Thank you. I will be the best kid in the world, like Zhang Ci'an."
