my school boy

The dinner table for the four of them was a bit awkward, Shen Shucheng silently held the food for Tian Yu, lowered his head and picked up the rice in the bowl in a muffled voice.

Dou Sikou frowned, poked Shen Wanjun's arm inadvertently, and winked.

"Ahem..." Shen Wanjun put his fist against his lips and coughed lightly, "Everyone, let's eat first, you should be hungry."

Xiuyun, who was also eating at home, glanced at her son-in-law dissatisfied, knocked on the table to interrupt Shen Wanjun who was picking up the chopsticks, and then took out a red red envelope: "According to the customs of Jiangcheng, it's the first time for a newcomer to come to the door. The elders should give some greetings, Tian Yu, Shu Cheng, this is from grandma to you."

After finishing speaking, he glared at Shen Wanjun again.

Only then did Shen Wanjun take out the meeting gift he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket: "This is what Sikou and I prepared for you."

Tian Yu took a breath, glanced at Shen Shucheng, who pretended not to care, from the corner of the eye, pursed his lips, and accepted the elder's kindness with both hands: "Thank you, Professor Shen."

Seeing Tian Yu accepting the meeting ceremony, Dou Sikao patted Shen Wanjun's shoulder with a smile, and looked at Tian Yu again: "Why are you still called Professor Shen, why don't you change your name?"

Shen Shucheng's hand that kept picking up vegetables finally stopped, he swallowed, looked at Tian Yu's red face, and comforted him: "It's okay, if you are not used to it and can't change it, don't force it."

The knuckles of Tian Yu's fingers holding the chopsticks turned blue. Shen Shucheng's gentle eyes seemed to give him great encouragement. He opened his tightly closed lips slightly, looked at the two elders in front of him, and shouted softly: "Thank you, Mom and Dad."

Dou Sikou smiled and let out a long sigh of relief: "No thanks, no thanks, we will be a family from now on, good boy, you two are good children of your parents."

Shen Wanjun put two mouthfuls of food in his mouth: "This way, it's pretty good."

Shen Shucheng put down his chopsticks in dissatisfaction, and was about to ask Shen Wanjun what it was called, but Tian Yu quickly stopped him: "Mr. Shen, try this soup, I think it tastes good."

Knowing that Tian Yu was defending his father, Shen Shucheng rolled his eyes angrily.

"After dinner, you and your dad can wash the dishes. I'm too tired today, and I just have time. I haven't chatted with Tian Yu for a long time."

Tian Yu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't know when he had a common topic with Dou Sikoo, after thinking about it, he realized that this was Dou Sikou creating an opportunity for Shen Shucheng and his son to chat, and quickly agreed: "Okay, just my physical model There's one place that doesn't work, and I want to see if I can explain it mathematically."

Shen Wanjun: "Is it the problem you discussed with me last time? I came back and asked Sikou, and she said that she didn't have any ideas."

Tian Yu sighed in frustration: "That's right."

"Don't say it," Dou Sikou put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, "I found a new method when I read the paper two days ago, saying no will help you."

"Really?" Shen Wanjun suddenly became interested, "Which journal is it in?"

"Yes..." Before Dou Sikou finished speaking, she was interrupted by grandma's knocking on the table.

"I asked you big scientists, can you stop for a while?" Xiuyun sighed, "If you don't discuss it at the dinner table, the sky will collapse tomorrow."

Shen Shucheng agreed with grandma's words very much, and winked at Tian Yu proudly.

"All right, all right," Dou Sikoo said following her mother's words, "Then I and Tian Yuniang have some private conversations, that's fine."

Only then did Xiuyun nodded in satisfaction: "Then you guys chat first, it's getting late, and I have to get some incense for your father."

Dou Sikou persuaded: "Dad has been away for more than two years. According to the custom, there is no need to burn incense every day."

Xiuyun shook her head stubbornly: "You don't understand, your father is afraid of the dark, I have to light incense for him, don't let him be underground where he can't see the way."

After finishing speaking, he left the dinner table, put on his clothes and went home.

Dou Sikou sighed, then blinked at Tian Yu: "Leave this table to the two of them, let's go to the living room."

Tian Yu hummed obediently: "Then...are we really not going to read that paper?"

Dou Sikou smiled knowingly: "The thesis is on the coffee table."

Shen Shucheng ignored Shen Wanjun, and put away all the dishes and chopsticks on the dining table into the kitchen, turned on the faucet, and listened to the voices of Tian Yu and Dou Sikou discussing among them amidst the sparse sound of water flowing.

Shen Wanjun wiped a shiny white bowl in his hand repeatedly with a rag, as if thinking for a long time before saying, "You... Tian Yu will graduate next June."

"Yes." Shen Shucheng didn't want to say a word to the person in front of him.

"Then, what are your plans with him?" Shen Wanjun asked.

Shen Shucheng didn't talk to Tian Yu about what happened after graduation. After all, he had lost too much in the past, and now he just wanted to make up for the lost time.

"I..." Shen Wanjun hesitated to speak.

"What?" Shen Shucheng snorted softly, "Are you satisfied if you let Tian Yu and I separate again?"

Shen Wanjun was finally willing to put down the bowl in his hand, and picked up another one: "I did something wrong before, I'm sorry."

Shen Shucheng was taken aback. From the time he could remember, the man in front of him seemed to have never admitted his mistakes, nor would he ever make mistakes.

It seems that in Shen Shucheng's memory, the person who is wrong is always himself.

He put the washed chopsticks in the chopstick box in embarrassment: "What's the use of talking about it now."

"I..." Shen Wanjun turned up the flow of water, and the sound of rushing water made his voice sound a lot weaker, "I didn't expect that you would be able to persist with Tian Yu like this."

Shen Shucheng smiled miserably: "You still think I'm playing with him?"

"I believe in the relationship between you, but..." Shen Wanjun shook his hand and threw a bowl into the sink, the porcelain colliding with each other made a clanging sound.

"But what." Shen Shucheng leaned against the cabinet, looked at the tiles on the wall, and cracked a small crack.

"But do you really hope that Tian Yu will give up her future for you?"

Every word in Shen Wanjun's words pierced into Shen Shucheng's heart like a needle. Shen Shucheng grasped the rag in his hand even tighter. He bit his lip, turned around, and looked directly at his father's questioning eyes.

"I certainly don't want him to give up his future for me."

"So, I'll be a part of his future."

Shen Shucheng's heart was beating violently, and he had a premonition that if Shen Wanjun questioned him again, he would immediately faint in the kitchen because of the rapid heartbeat.

It is said that when a person is extremely nervous, the fingertips and toes will be extraordinarily cold. This is because the body contracts the blood back to the heart, ready to escape at any time.

Shen Shucheng felt the temperature of the ice from his clenched fingertips. He knew that his body's instinct was reminding him that he was going to run away in the next second.

But he didn't want to escape, he wanted to fight for Tian Yu, his stubborn father, and the stubborn world.

"..." After all, Shen Wanjun sighed softly, "Okay, I believe you."

"Your mother and I saved a sum of money for you."

"No, I have..."

Shen Wanjun interrupted him: "I will find a teacher for you and prepare for you to go abroad this year."

Shen Shucheng was taken aback for a moment, and heard Shen Wanjun continue to say: "You and Tian Yu can discuss together to see which city you want to go to. If you two want to get married in the future, you must not stay in China."

"Yes..." Shen Shucheng nodded, this was also what he was thinking about.

He naturally knew that Tian Yu would not care about these, and he also firmly believed that even if there was no law willing to recognize their relationship and give this relationship a strong protection, he and Tian Yu were each other's greatest protection.

But he still wants to give Tian Yu the most ordinary happiness in the world, just like giving him the light waiting for him to go home at night, giving him a marriage contract, and giving him a wedding blessed by the people around him.

"If you don't stay in China, if you want a good job, you still have to study abroad for an undergraduate degree. Regarding going abroad, I contacted the teacher for you, and I asked you about applying for a major in literature. It shouldn't be difficult. .”

Shen Wanjun's tone sounded like he was giving a report on a three-foot podium, but it was inexplicably more tender: "You and Tian Yu discuss which school and city he wants to go to, and you apply together. It's better for the two of you to be together."

"The money your mother and I saved for you should allow both of you to live well until you both graduate."

"The rest of the matter is still up to you."

Shen Shucheng looked at the sunlight from the window falling on Shen Wanjun's back, at the junction of light and dark, Shen Wanjun's slightly curved back appeared.

He almost forgot that this man who used to be able to lift himself above his shoulders, and he could only look up at him, is now so close to his ears.

Shen Shucheng was silent for a long time, walked up to Shen Wanjun, took the bowl in his hand, and wiped it gently.

"Dad, thank you."

"You are my son, no need to say thank you."

The sunlight falls between the two, where light and shade meet, forming a delicate balance.

"Teacher Shen!" Tian Yu rushed to the kitchen, "I want to go back to the laboratory, you go back first, don't wait for me!"

Before Shen Shucheng recovered from the emotion just now, he wiped his hands: "Why are you going to the laboratory at this time?"

"Ms. Dou discussed with me just now, and I suddenly thought about how to explain my experimental phenomenon." Tian Yu has already put on her coat and shoes quickly, and is ready to go out.

"Then when will you come back tonight, should I wait for you to sleep together..."

When the words came to his lips, looking at his parents who were still by his side, Shen Shucheng swallowed the words again: "Should I wait for you to come back?"

Tian Yu shook her head: "I don't know when it will be finished."

Seeing Tian Yu's fiery look, Shen Shucheng looked at Dou Siko with deep resentment, but Dou Siko didn't notice the eyes staring at her at all, and warned: "Be careful on the road, remember to take a look when you push it out."

When Tian Yu finished her work and stretched herself to go back, she realized that it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.

Tian Yu pursed his lips and sighed, Shen Shucheng should be asleep at this time, he thought.

But when he walked downstairs, he raised his head, only to find that the warm yellow light was blurred from the glass window, like a guiding star in the night sky.

Tian Yu's breath was stagnant, and she went upstairs two steps at a time, and opened the door.

The lights in the restaurant were on, and Shen Shucheng was wearing baggy pajamas with a sleepy face.

"I guessed it was you when I heard the footsteps. Be hungry. I'll make you a bowl of noodles."

In the kitchen, the smell of food wafted out.

This is the life Shen Shucheng can give him.

It is also the only life he wants.

The author has something to say: "Of course I don't want him to give up his future for me."

"So, I'll be a part of his future."

I think this sentence is good.
