Before dark, Li Duoyang and Pei Shiyi went to the downtown restaurant that Yan Man ordered.

Yan Man arrived earlier, sitting by the window and talking on the phone with a smile, saw two figures not far away, quickly ended the call, got up and looked at the exquisite and beautiful young man beside Pei Shiyi in a daze.

Li Duoyang said: "Aunt Yan, long time no see."

The stupefied face paused, then smiled and said, "Yeah, long time no see."

The woman brushed her long hair behind her ears, quickly picked up the menu and ordered to the waiter, raising her eyes from time to time to ask Li Duoyang if there was anything she didn't like.

Li Duoyang shook his head, it was not polite, the few dishes Yan Man ordered were basically the dishes he ate a lot when he stayed at Pei's house.

Although this was his first formal meeting with Yan Man since he returned to Jiang Yun, it may be because he often saw her on the Internet and on shows, or maybe the changed Yan Man and Pei Shiyi's brows are more similar, Li Duo Yang didn't feel unfamiliar with the woman who had changed so much in front of her, and her speech was no different from when she was a guest at the other's house many years ago.

While waiting for the dishes, Yan Man's eyes returned to Li Duoyang's face: "Auntie almost didn't recognize you at first glance just now, the longer the better." If it was a girl, she would even want to pass by Holding hands and taking a closer look, "I used to look at Shi Yi and didn't feel that time passed so fast. Now that I saw you, I realized that you are indeed adults. When I was standing just now, Auntie had to look up at you...but Now that I’ve watched it for a long time, I don’t think much has changed.”

Li Duoyang knew that this was a compliment to himself, and said: "There will definitely be some changes when you grow up. Everyone is like this. Aunt Yan is the best. After a few years, she looks younger."

This is not flattery, Yan Man now looks much younger in terms of appearance and spirit compared to back then, especially after the meticulous makeup on the TV station, it is completely impossible to see that his son is almost 20 years old.

Li Duoyang's demeanor while waiting for the dishes and the tone of pauses in his speech were exactly the same as before. Yan Man was completely relaxed: "Haha, don't make fun of me, you kid." She looked at the opposite side and deliberately showed her hands after entering. The son of the round jade pendant and the crescent jade pendant on his neck, although he didn't even smile, he didn't know how happy he was.

Seeing that she finally looked over, Pei Shiyi raised his wrist slightly and said, "This is the moon, and this is the sun, isn't it exquisite?"

Yan Man was slightly stunned, and nodded: "I seem to have seen it at home last time."

When Pei Shiyi heard this, his expression changed, and a trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes: "I forgot to say that at that time."

Yan Man: "...what?"

The corner of the young man's lips raised a little in a rare way: "This is a gift from Yang Yang."

Yan Man didn't react and was stuck for a moment.

Pei Shiyi continued: "He never forgot me. When I went to look for him in country A, he didn't abandon me to stay overnight at someone else's house."

Li Duoyang: "..." Your mother doesn't seem to have asked you this.

Yan Man: "..." You have said this in front of me no less than three times.

The atmosphere was strangely harmonious, Yan Man continued to chat with Li Duoyang with a dry smile.

The three of them finished their meal in one meal, it was still early, after seven o'clock.

Yan Man got up and said, "Is there anything fun in City B at night?"

Just as Li Duoyang picked up his phone to check, he heard Pei Shiyi say, "At home."

Li Duoyang: "..."

Yan Man actually took it seriously, and immediately asked: "Really? I haven't visited the house you live in here yet. It's still early anyway, so I'll go and have a look."

Li Duoyang was puzzled for a moment: "Aunt Yan, don't you rest there at night?"

Pei Shiyi's house was very big, let alone Yan Man, even if Yan Man brought a few more people to live there, it would be no problem at all, but what Yan Man said was obviously as if he would just go there and leave later.

"Today I'm here to talk about the cooperation of the song and dance troupe. After that, I will take a vacation for a while. I have made an appointment with someone to go to Antarctica to see penguins. I will leave tomorrow morning. The hotel is booked. I can't leave my sisters there. No matter," Yan Man said with a smile, "I'm just curious, I want to see what Shi Yi's new home looks like, I heard he even has snakes."

Li Duoyang nodded understandingly: Indeed, Yan Man can be regarded as Zhaoyang's grandma, and it's time to see his grandson.

In a daze, he followed the mother and son to Pei Shiyi's house.

After entering the door, when Yan Man saw Zhaoyang and the jellyfish specimens inside, there was no surprise in his eyes. Who asked his son to take photos with Li Duoyang's hands or his back so many times in the circle of friends...

Yan Man was a little afraid of snakes, so she didn't reach out to touch them, but just looked carefully through the glass for a while, and commented: "It's so cute."

This is a compliment, but Pei Shiyi didn't seem to be very satisfied with this compliment. He reached in and put the water tank closer to the little snake. The other party might just be thirsty too. When he saw the water, he walked over slowly, bowing his head. Da da to drink water.

Li Duoyang couldn't resist the appearance of Zhaoyang drinking water at all, and said with a smile: "It's so cute!"

As if he had received a huge award, Pei Shiyi's ears blushed a little, and at the same time raised his eyebrows proudly, and then looked at his mother who couldn't figure it out.

Yan Man was confused, "What do you see me doing?"

Pei Shiyi pointed at Zhaoyang: "It's drinking water."

Yan Man was even more confused: "I saw it, what's wrong?"

Pei Shiyi frowned, pursed his thin lips, and then reached in to fish out the golden sun that Zhao Yang had hidden, and placed it under Zhao Yang's body.

At first glance, the little snake on the golden sun shining under the lamp looks like a fairy, and the blue scales are set off like an extraordinary thing under the light and shadow.

Good-looking is good-looking, but Yan Man couldn't figure out what Pei Shiyi was doing, and asked, "Shi Yi, are you interacting with it? Is this how you usually play?"

Pei Shiyi: "..."

Li Duoyang turned his face away, seeing that stern face almost turned into a puffer fish, he hurried over to him: "What's wrong with you?"

The young man who had almost evolved into a puffer fish froze for a moment, and finally looked at his mother unwillingly.

Yan Man: "..."

She finally realized it belatedly, looked at the little snake again, and said in a loving tone, "It's really cute, all the snakes I've seen are not as beautiful and cute as it is, Shi Yi, you really know how to raise it."

"It's not just a snake," Pei Shiyi went on and on after hearing this, "Except for Yangyang, no creature is as cute and sensible as it."

Yan Man sneered, and said with a slight headache: "...I remember you were very afraid of snakes before, why do you like them so much now?"

Li Duoyang actually wanted to ask this question, so he blinked at Pei Shiyi.

The face of the young man who was bragging about his snake son changed slightly. Not long ago, the proud look of a father relying on his son was gone. Suddenly he reached out and put the golden sun that recruited Yang back to its original place, and then began to feed him with a concentrated expression. It looked like he hadn't heard that sentence at all.

Li Duoyang said: "Maybe this snake is really too cute."

The young man who focused on feeding paused, glanced at him as if nothing, and pursed his lips without saying a word.

Yan Man just asked casually, and after watching "Little Grandson" Zhaoyang, he took out three red envelopes from his bag, one for Pei Shiyi, one for Li Duoyang, and the last one was placed in front of Zhaoyang's "mansion".

Realizing that Li Duoyang wanted to return the red envelope, Yan Man smiled very gently: "This red envelope should have been given to you a long time ago. Back then, I didn't know that you would leave so early, and the New Year's red envelope I prepared was not sent out. It’s been with me for so many years, so it’s time for me to let go now, right?”

"Aunt Yan..."

"It's not much, you keep it," Yan Man said, "I always treated you as my own child back then, and others might think it was a polite way to say it, but these years, Auntie really misses you, and occasionally she is afraid that you will be here Being bullied outside."

These words are sincere, without any adulteration. If Li Duoyang hadn't stopped Pei Youping back then, she actually didn't know what Pei Youping would do after the outbreak, or if she was bullied by Pei Youping and was watched by her sick son. So, what kind of trouble did it end up with...

In fact, Yan Man had already noticed his son's abnormality, from the scuffle with his father Pei Youping at his 14th birthday party, he felt that the child's mental health was not healthy.But at that time, she had a lot of problems herself, and she was deeply aware of her lack in the other party's growth process, she felt guilty and confused, she didn't know how to deal with it, how to change... she could only endure it day after day.

What happened to Li Duoyang that year was the memory she regretted the most, wanted to change the most, and was the most unforgettable in her life.

During that time, almost all negative emotions were pushed to the peak. During the days when she and Pei Youping broke up for divorce, she had many nightmares. She dreamed that because she didn't know how to get along with her son, although she was thinking about it, she always faced it. It is relatively silent, unfamiliar and polite, and finally, under the stimulation of various psychological pressures and Pei Youping, he feels hopeless about the way forward and goes to a dead end... Sometimes he dreams of the day when he wants to save countless times, and Li Duoyang is finally gone. She appeared during an argument with Pei Youping, but Pei Youping lost control and pushed her against the door. She hit the doorknob with the back of her head and passed out. When she woke up again, she saw her son with a high fever holding a kitchen knife standing in a pool of blood. Pei Youping fell stiffly to the ground...

Every dream made her suffer, comparable to torture, until every time she woke up, she found that the horrible scenes in the dream were all fake and did not appear.

Only the pretty and well-behaved boy disappeared.

……

Before Yan Man left, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and turned to Pei Shiyi and said, "Shiyi, Mom wants to eat the almond cake from the Jinyang Street shop."

Pei Shiyi: "I'll go buy it."

Yan Man smiled and said, "Buy one more, I'll bring it to a friend to taste."

The young man hummed, Li Duoyang watched him pick up the car keys, and was about to go with him, Yan Man waved to him: "Just let him go alone. It will take less than 10 minutes to go back and forth, so you can watch TV with Auntie for a while."

Li Duoyang sat down obediently, he was a little thirsty, picked up the water glass and took a sip of water, staring at the food variety show on the screen seriously.

After a while, Yan Man's voice came from the side: "Yangyang, I heard that when you were in Qinghe all these years, you stayed there for a while."

Li Duoyang's eyelashes flickered, and he looked at her.

There was no smile on Yan Man's face: "Auntie regrets, regrets not leaving Pei Youping a few years earlier, regrets not becoming strong a few years earlier... regrets making you suffer so much."

Li Duoyang replied slowly: "I have not been wronged."

During the two years in Qinghe, he has been working hard to live his own life. He has cared about his family wholeheartedly, has kind classmates and teachers, and has a lot of delicious food. He has done many things. Not wasted.

Li Duoyang thought this way, but the next second, after hearing Yan Man's sobbing, he turned his head and opened his mouth in surprise.

Yan Man used to cry when she was talking about her sadness in an interview, but she cried very restrainedly. The tearful and pitiful moving picture was once regarded as a god picture in her fan circle. Li Duoyang unintentionally brushed At that time, he also agreed very much, and even imagined Pei Shiyi crying like this.

But no matter how you think about it, it's a completely different fierce look.

But at this time, Yan Man was like a child who had been holding back tears for a long time and could no longer hold back his tears. As soon as he raised his hand to cover his mouth, the sound of wailing came out first.

"..." Li Duoyang didn't know how to comfort an elder who was crying like a child, so he could only keep passing tissues to him. He had never experienced such a thing, and he was obviously scared to death.

Yan Man didn't have the burden of being an idol on TV, she broke down and cried and said, "Fortunately, fortunately, I saw you again, these years I was really scared, I was afraid that because of my mother, Shi Yi, I would never see you for the rest of my life... …A few days before your birthday, he was actually very normal. He thought he was going to see you soon, and he was very happy. I took him to the doctor, and he didn’t resist as much as before. your turn……"

"But when he came back from country A, he didn't want to see a doctor. His soul seemed to be gone. The old man said that he went crazy after going to country A, but that's not true, he wasn't crazy."

"One time I went there and heard him crying under the covers before knocking on the door. It was really sad..."

"Shi Yi doesn't like to cry. When I was a child, I would cry because I couldn't see my parents. When I grow up, I won't. But when I met you, I started crying for you again... At that time, I thought you were really in A Guo, if you do that, you don’t want to associate with him anymore. I understand your intentions, but I’m really worried that Shi Yi’s mental state will get worse in the future, so I coax him into saying that I will go to country A with him to find you after he graduates. Continue to be neighbors."

"He doesn't want it. He said that at that time, you will definitely be abducted by someone. That's right, who doesn't like you? It may be too young to be single after graduating from college. I can only say that I will find a house with you in the future. When I arrive Take him there during the holidays, if there are other people around you, there is really no way."

"He was even more unwilling, and the reaction was very violent at the time. The old man would only be tough, but locking him up for a short time would not calm him down, it would only make him more extreme... I didn't know what to do at that time, I was afraid that he would When I went astray, I promised that I would find your parents in the future. Anyway, I have already divorced Pei Youping, and your parents are also reasonable and will not have other prejudices against me. It is okay to recognize you as a godson in the future. Even if other methods fail, at least let him and you be family members in this life..."

"That time, he didn't say anything. He was obviously reluctant, but he had to accept this method."

"I know, Shi Yi is really not a bad boy, Yang Yang, if you really don't like him, he won't really do anything to you no matter how angry he is... There were times when he was sick and dreamed and talked in his sleep, thinking that you were There is someone you like abroad, and you shed a pillow of tears, but you haven't lost your temper at all, and you are wronged to call your brother, saying that if you don't marry him, he will only have one brother until he dies... "

"..."

Yan Man cried until his eyes were almost swollen into walnuts, and in Li Duoyang's dazed eyes, he slowly regained his composure: "Seeing that you are still so close to him now, it is really like a dream, no matter whether you are friendly to him or Otherwise, if you haven't forgotten him, I'm satisfied..."

Li Duoyang: "How could I have forgotten him? When I came back, I thought he had forgotten me..." No matter in the previous life or now, Pei Shiyi is the best person with him.

He will never forget Pei Shiyi, and he doesn't want Pei Shiyi to forget himself.

"Even if he really loses his memory, it's impossible for him to forget you." Yan Man's smile became bitter, "The day your family left, Shi Yi wanted to see you again, but he didn't catch up. After returning home, that bastard Pei Youping said something exciting. For what he said, he hated his father to the bone. After he got sick in the bathtub and was discharged from the hospital, he thought he had lost his father. The outside world said that he lost his memory, but there is no such thing, but it’s okay to say that, if someone else He didn't lose his memory and still had the last quarrel with Pei Youping, which is not very good for Pei's side and his own reputation... But it would be okay if he could really forget it."

"However, the old man was also deceived by him at that time, thinking that his memory was really impaired, and he forgot Pei Youping and you, by the way, because of this matter, he and the company later made some decisions about him and the company naturally relaxed a little bit Seeing that his son and grandson are incompatible, he has no choice but to be cruel to Pei Youping... Over the years, he has gone to Qinghe to sweep graves more often than usual, but he didn't dare to go there when your grandma was around. "Yan Man wiped his tears and sighed, "I think back then, he was the one who supported the doll kiss the most. Later, he was the one who wanted Shi Yi to forget you the most. But when I learned that Shi Yi had serious mental problems, I I think he regretted it too..."

Li Duoyang didn't speak. He didn't have any good or bad thoughts about Mr. Pei. Pei Jiansheng was not a good person, but he was not a bad person either. He was just a businessman who would weigh the pros and cons.

In the end, Pei Jiansheng never hurt him. When the relationship between the two families was not bad, he was also a very kind and kind elder. He didn't have any ill will towards this old man, but it was hard to get close again.

Li Duoyang took a glass of water for Yan Man, and changed the topic: "Aunt Yan, is the almond cake really delicious?"

Yan Man paused, stared at him and smiled through tears: "You are really... You will know after you taste it."

As she said that, she looked at her watch, predicting that her son would come back soon, and then looked at Li Duoyang, who seemed to be thinking about something, her eyes were crooked, and inexplicably, the image of the child many years ago appeared in her mind. When she came to her home for the first time, she sat obediently like this, and she couldn't help whispering: "Yangyang, can auntie touch your head?"

Li Duoyang raised his eyes, was startled for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Yan Man raised his hand, as if he didn't know where to start, until he found the faint star-shaped mark on the forehead of the other party, he lowered his hand, and gently stroked his short, fluffy hair a few times, just touching his head That's all, she suddenly wanted to cry, and the tears that had been stopped fell down again.

She smiled and wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes: "I didn't see you cry when it was broken. I remember when I went to see you, you made my aunt happy and said that things would be resolved little by little... I said at that time that I would I worked hard, but I didn’t really have confidence, I just never expected that after that day, I would not see him for so long... Now that I see her, she is so big.”

"Yangyang, you said that the matter will be resolved little by little, you are right...Auntie has worked hard, and so has Shi Yi."
