I'm covering this scholar

During the dinner, Ms. Lin glanced at Zhuo Jue who kept her head buried and didn't take much part in the nonsense among the children, and felt a little sighed.

This child has really changed a lot since he was a child and when he grows up.

She used the serving chopsticks to pick up the chopsticks and put them in Zhuo Jue's bowl, causing Zhuo Jue to look up at her in surprise.Mother Lin looked at him lovingly, and said distressedly, "Eat more, you can see how thin you have become."

Because Zhuo Jue felt that Mother Lin must know about their relationship, she always felt guilty and was afraid that she would blame him, but she did not expect that Aunt Jiang would behave like this.

He looked at the eggplant with chopsticks in the bowl, as if he had won a gold medal for avoiding death.

Although Lin You was chatting at the side, she kept paying attention to this side all the time, and also noticed Zhuo Jue's depression which was different from usual.

But when he saw his mother serving food, he subconsciously interjected, "Mom, he doesn't eat eggplant."

"Huh?" Lin's mother opened her eyes wide and looked at her son, and exchanged glances with Lin's father, her words revealed surprise, "You...have sharp eyes?"

"No, I just caught a glimpse," Lin You concealed. Seeing that his parents were full of disbelief, Zhou He fanned the flames, "Auntie, Uncle, they have a good relationship at school. Retired." He said, wiping away tears that didn't exist, with a melancholy look on his face.

Mother Lin suddenly laughed, "That's not bad, I thought you two would be strangers if you haven't seen each other for so many years."

Zhuo Jue said: "No." He picked up a piece of eggplant and prepared to put it in his mouth.

"Hey, don't you want to eat?" Lin You stopped, "Don't force yourself."

"It's okay," Zhuo Jue didn't care, a slight dimple appeared on the corner of his mouth because of his smile, "Of course I have to finish eating what my aunt put in."

Lin You stared dumbfounded at his old mother being elated by Zhuo Jue.

In fact, Zhuo Jue really didn't like the soft and rotten taste of eggplant. He chewed it hastily for a few times and then swallowed it raw, but it couldn't be seen from the outside at all, and he thought he was eating it.

While eating, a mobile phone rang suddenly on the table. Several people looked at each other and found that it was Zhuo Jue.

Zhuo Jue apologized, saw the caller ID, frowned slightly for a moment, left the table and went to answer the phone in the corner.

He deliberately lowered his voice, "Mom."

Lin You's attention was always on Zhuo Jue as he walked around, and he didn't notice his mother's eyes at all. When Zhuo Jue called back, Lin's mother spoke first, smiling, "Is it your mother?"

Holding the mobile phone, Zhuo Jue was in a dilemma, "Yes," he hesitated for a while, and said, "My mother flew to China to visit me, and now she is at the school, so I may not be able to accompany you."

Lin You's eyes dimmed, and he reluctantly said, "It's okay, you can go and accompany your mother."

The boy stood still. He really should go to pick up his mother, but he originally wanted to accompany Lin You to spend the old year and usher in the new one.

He was a little sullen and felt like he had missed another appointment.

The atmosphere at the entire dinner table suddenly sank because of the silence and hesitation between the two of them, and the few students who were still chatting gradually shut up and looked at each other.

Lin You felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't want others to see it. What's more, his parents were still around, so he couldn't reveal his little thoughts.

He forced a smile on his face and wanted to say something, but his mother's brisk words snatched him away. He froze, looked at his mother and suggested to Zhuo Jue, "Chen Yue, I haven't seen you for a long time, how about it, little I think you take me to meet her, and we will catch up on the old days, so we won't come back, you give me your mother for one night, do you think it's okay?"

Her words were earnest, like the anticipation and excitement of a real old friend that she hadn't seen for many years. Zhuo Jue couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but felt relieved.

He said, "Okay, maybe Mom misses you too."

Lin You grabbed the chopsticks, and saw Zhuo Jue put on a coat and took his mother out, followed by his father. Before leaving, his mother winked at him, "Youyou, treat your classmates well."

Zhou He, Cheng Yingying and the others were rarely cueed, so they all said obediently, "Goodbye, Auntie."

The door was shut with a bang, and everyone relaxed. Although Lin You's parents were indeed open-minded, they were always tense in the presence of adults, for fear of accidentally saying something wrong or revealing their true nature.

I was finally liberated, and listening to my aunt, it seemed that I would not be coming back tonight.

Chen Chen, the black sheep, took out a few bottles of long-coveted cocktails from his well-hidden bag, put them on the table, and said loudly, "Brothers and sisters, do you want to drink?"

Cheng Yingying slapped him, "You're going to die, how can you go back when you're drunk?"

"Oh," Liu Liu held back for a long time, and at this moment he started to let go, "Brother Lin is probably the only one who can get drunk after drinking a cocktail. This is his house, don't worry, we'll be fine."

Zhou He also said, "Squad leader, if you don't know how to drink, you can drink, it's the same."

Cheng Yingying really doesn't know how to drink, and she doesn't try to be brave, "Okay."

Several bottles of colorful cocktails were knocked open and placed in front of several people. Lin You, who was arranged before he could say anything, was a little speechless, "Brothers, have you asked my opinion?"

Zhou He persuaded him, "Brother Lin, don't be too tight on your birthday, cheer up! Besides, the alcohol content of the cocktail is really low, just treat it as a drink."

Li Xing is not such a bastard, "Brother Lin, it's okay if you really don't want to drink, you are a birthday star today, you can do whatever you want."

This sentence, do whatever you want, somehow hit Lin You's point. He hesitated for a while, but the drink seemed to remind him of something, and he suddenly agreed.

The cocktail really didn't feel like drinking at first, but gradually the stamina picked up. It may be that Lin You's drinking capacity is really too bad.After drinking for three rounds, he began to feel dizzy, and the people in front of him became two or three shadows.

A few people were laughing and making noise, playing like crazy, and when the night was quiet, they thought about going home, and they all said goodbye.Lin You stayed for a while, and several people sat on the ground and punched again, finally couldn't take it anymore, Lin You sent them outside the door and was told to stop.

"Okay, Brother Lin, let's stop here." Zhou He drank some wine and nodded a little, and spoke recklessly, "I'm afraid you won't know the way home if you go any further."

The few remaining people died laughing.

Although Lin You was in a daze, she still slapped Zhou He and told them to get out of here with a smile.

The table in the room was in a mess, and Lin You wanted to clean it up, but his head was too heavy, so he half-slept against the sofa.

When the door was opened and closed again with a bang, Zhuo Jue entered the door and saw that the house was empty. Lin You curled up slightly on the sofa, huddled up, as if awakened by the sound of the door, raised his head slightly , look over.

It was past eleven o'clock, and in the dead of night, Zhuo Jue walked over, and Lin You said in a daze, "You're back."

"En." Zhuo Jue responded, shaking his shoulders lightly, very gentle, with a low and hoarse voice, "Go to sleep in the room, I will tidy up."

Lin You only felt his head was heavy, he couldn't stand firmly, he tilted to one side, and was supported by the helpless Zhuo Jue.

"Let's go, how much have you drunk?"

Even though he was drunk and sleepy, Lin You still knew how to turn back, "Do you have the nerve to tell me about your drinking capacity?"

"All right, all right," Zhuo Jue helped him to the room.

Lin You's cheeks were slightly flushed with drunkenness, and his eyelids were half drooped. Because of sleepiness, there was still a light layer of water color. He pursed his lips and smiled, his whole person was soft and cute. .

He whispered in Zhuo Jue's ear, "I'm so happy today."

Zhuo Jue seemed to be coaxing a child, "Why?"

Lin You leaned against the edge of the bed automatically, without letting go, holding Zhuo Jue's sleeve, with bright eyes, "You are all here."

He muttered, "Especially you," because he was so drunk that he almost couldn't make up his mind and said something, "I haven't celebrated my birthday for a long time, but you are back."

"I am very happy."

Zhuo Jue's heart seemed to have collapsed and became sore. He sat on the edge of the bed, tentatively loosened his hand from Lin You's sleeve, slowly slid it to his fingertips, and held it very lightly.

"Are you so happy that I'm back?"

Lin You looked at him with eyes open, confused, "What should I do, I fell in love with someone."

Zhuo Jue's heart stopped for a moment, and his heart throbbed. He endured it for a long time, and forced a smile, "Chasing after you if you like, we... Lin Lin is so good, who wouldn't like it." He took advantage of his brother's drinking Drunk and not sober, he called out the sound of Lin Lin.

He has long been unwilling to call him brother, and sometimes he would rather call him by his full name, as if the possibility of their relationship is greater.But now, Lin You, who spoke the truth after drinking, said that he has someone he likes, so what else can he do.

He took a deep breath, and slowly pulled his fingers away, the gentle mask on his face could hardly be disguised anymore.

But Lin You grabbed his hand that was about to leave, and the warm body temperature filled the empty palm.

Lin You hugged Zhuo Jue, but because he couldn't sit still, his whole body tilted to one side, and Zhuo Jue also fell down with him.

But Zhuojue was so startled that he couldn't react. He stared blankly at the head buried in his shoulder, felt the fine breathing, and lost his voice.

Lin You murmured, "How do you chase after me?" He tilted his head, his eyes were full of entanglement and hesitation, his soft hair brushed against Zhuo Jue's neck, and Zhuo Jue could hardly bear it anymore.

He clenched his fists and didn't dare to touch Lin You. He was about to sit up, but was grabbed again.

"Lin Lin," he rubbed his fingers heavily on the side of Lin You's face, with restraint and depression, and a hint of panic, "I, I have to go."

If he doesn't leave, he doesn't know what will happen to him.

But the word "walk" seemed to have stimulated something, Lin You sat up suddenly, tightened his five fingers, and the back of his hand was full of veins, he said coldly, "No."

He firmly trapped Zhuo Jue between his elbows, struggling desperately like a trapped animal, and uttered the bloody truth, "I like you, don't go."

Don't hate me.
