The next morning, Yan Yan carried a bunch of things upstairs first.

Unlocking the door with difficulty, putting tents and other things aside temporarily, opening the shoe cabinet to fiddle with his own cotton slippers, only to find that there were only a few spare slippers left in the shoe cabinet.

Xin Ran walked in a hurry yesterday, wearing slippers.

Instead, where his slippers should have been placed, was a pair of ladies' short boots.

Western-style.

Before Yan Yan had time to be surprised, there was the sound of water in the toilet not far away, and the door opened not long after.

He was still squatting at the moment, only to see a pair of feet stepping on his own pair of cotton mops that were much bigger.

Xin Xiao stared at the young man who was squatting in a pile of sundries and was picking at the shoe cabinet with natural movements, and raised half of his eyebrows:

"Yo, look who this is?"

A few minutes ago, Xin Ran thanked Yan Shaoxia for his hard work, and allowed him to go home first to put away his things, while he personally went to the grass downstairs to gather a lot of fresh grass.

At this moment, he was working hard, but he shivered for no reason.

Xin Ran hurriedly stopped plundering public property, wrapped her clothes, pulled on her slippers, and went upstairs like a thief.

The door of the house was indeed ajar, he pushed the door open without thinking, and shook off his dirty shoes a few times, only to find that the shoe cabinet was still wide open.He bent down, and was about to dig out the spare slippers, and by the way, scolded the young man who didn't close the door casually.

At this moment, there was a conversation between two people in the room.

And both of them are very familiar voices:

"...Hello, Auntie, I am a student of Teacher Xin."

"Come on, you are his boyfriend."

Xin Ran froze, and hurried inside, and sure enough, she saw her mother sitting leisurely on the edge of the bed with her legs crossed, and Yan Shaoxia standing aside as if facing a formidable enemy, almost sticking to the base of the wall in aggrieved manner.

"Mom! Why are you here?"

Xin Ran helplessly pulled Yan Yan who was secretly relieved, and sat with him on the small sofa.He himself was very relaxed, but he suffered from Yan Shaoxia who was trying to keep upright.

After all, it is not so easy to make a concave shape on the lazy sofa that "sit on and have no bones".

Xin Ran patted Yan Yan's leg, signaling him not to be so serious.

Yan Yan wasn't afraid. In fact, when he met Xin Xiao face to face, he realized that the owner of another spare key had come to the door.

It's just that Xin Ran's mother came too suddenly, he was not prepared for it at all, and besides, she was an unpredictable temptation, which made him a little bit at a loss.

"I can't get in touch with you. If I'm worried, I'll come and have a look. It just so happens that I haven't come to check your kennel for a few days, but now it looks decent. It's a surprise."

Xin Xiao's eyes swept over the two of them, and Xin Ran's small movements were naturally seen by her.

"Come on," Xin Ran rolled her eyes, not intending to take back her claws on Yan Yan's thigh, "You still worry about me going out to fool around?"

"Tch," Xin Xiao rolled her eyes without showing any weakness. With that expression and gesture, one can tell who Xin Ran is a teacher of. "I'm worried that you are almost thirty and haven't learned how to fool around outside yet."

Yan Yan, who is used to being exhaustive, has one omission in Bai Mi. He didn't bring a power bank for Xin Ran, because he didn't always keep it, and the places he frequented were also available for rent, so he really forgot about it in a while.

Fortunately, Xin Ran had nothing to do at home and kept charging her phone.

Therefore, the mobile phone relied on 1% of the power to persist until the two of them fell asleep, and then quietly pulled the switch. It was not until Xin Ran woke up the next morning with a backache and back pain that he realized that his mobile phone had been turned off.

The car is borrowed, and there is no car charger. Fortunately, the road is not far away, and Yan Yan recognizes it, so there is no need for navigation, otherwise their impulsive trip may end in horror.

After Xin Ran sat down, she quickly recharged her phone, and finally turned it on.Before the light was turned on for a few seconds, the news of Wang Chuan and Wen Shu filled the screen.

Just a few words back and forth:

"Brother, why did you go, why did you lose contact?"

"Sister-in-law is really not what I said, so don't blame me."

"Godmother called me, she was very excited and asked me how you got the hang of it, and even learned to go out and fool around."

"She should be on her way to your place by now."

Xin Ran didn't want to reply a single message, but somehow thought of the wild boars in the hunting grounds, and wondered how much these cronies could sell for a catty.

"By the way, where did I just say?"

Xin Xiao regained his strength and almost got the topic taken away.

Yan Yan's back tightened, and he couldn't help but want to adjust to a sitting posture.

"Tsk, I'll get you some water. Let's chat."

Xin Ran received the pitiful light wave emitted by Yan Yan, felt very sympathetic, and chose to ignore it, and hid in the kitchen in a flash.

Then, with the help of a wall, she quietly blushed her ears.

Meet the parents.

He knew that Xin Xiao was just curious and would not have any malicious intentions, so he dared to throw Yan Yan to his mother for entertainment.

Furthermore...he also wanted to know if there was one of Yan Shaoxia's [-] martial arts proficient in "dealing with the mother-in-law".

Tsk, mother-in-law.

Xin Ran took the kettle to boil water, wishing to grow the eyes and ears of a gourd baby, so that he could watch and listen in all directions to monitor the movement outside.

Xin Xiao asked himself kindly, and smiled at Yan Yan: "You haven't answered me yet."

"Yes." Yan Yan only gritted his teeth for a second, and then immediately said firmly, "I know this..."

Xin Xiao restrained her smile, and interrupted Yan Yan's words: "You are younger than him."

"……Yes."

Yan Yan who was interrupted was not annoyed, but frowned upon hearing this.Just thinking about how to express his determination safely, Xin Xiao asked again:

"Play with him, or live with him?"

Yan Yan was taken aback for a moment, but replied loudly:

"Live a good life, live a good life."

Xin Ran's heart beat suddenly accelerated in the kitchen.

"That's fine."

Xin Xiao swept away the pretended seriousness just now, and regained his smile.

"You don't ask..."

Yan Yan didn't react for a while, because he didn't know what to ask next.

You don't ask "How can two men be together?"

Don't ask, "You are still so young, Xin Ran will be thirty in two years, can you take it easy?"

Don't ask "He has reached the age where he should stabilize, but you still have a few years of squandering capital, are you willing?"

And "what if you meet someone more desirable in the future, what will you do?"

Aren't these all questions that a mother-in-law should ask when she comes to the house?

Yan Yan quickly organized the words to "show loyalty" over and over again in his mind, not showing his face but concentrating on how to express the central idea of ​​"I only have him and only him".

"what?"

Xin Xiao had a rare good-natured understanding of Yan Yan's hesitation to speak, and indicated with his eyes that it was okay and that he could speak slowly.

"Don't ask me..." The words in Yan Yan's head were flying all over the sky, and finally only a few words remained after picking and choosing: "Ask me, do you treat him well?"

Facing Yan Yan, Xin Xiao suddenly smiled with maternal love, then stood up, walked a few steps in this space that can be called both the living room and the bedroom, and then she said:

"This room, are you taking care of it?"

Yan Yan subconsciously nodded, then quickly shook her head.

"Don't shake your head, I know my son - he's used to living in a kennel, how can he just be a human being?"

Yan Yan thought to himself, he can't be blamed for selling Xin Ran anymore.

Xin Xiao walked up to the speechless Yan Yan, who was hesitating whether to stand up and speak, when suddenly he felt Xin Xiao reach out and rub his head gently, and then said:

"Sit down, stand up and I can't reach it."

When Yan Yan was about to remain silent for a few more seconds, the mother unexpectedly expressed her position:

"If he believes in you, I will believe in you." Xin Xiao looked directly into Yan Yan's radiant and startled eyes, and solemnly said, "Don't let him down."

Yan Yan clenched the trousers at the knees and nodded in agreement.

Xin Xiao said don't let "him" down, not don't let "us" down.

Her meaning was very clear: in this relationship, Xin Ran must be placed in a very important position by him. It doesn't matter what others think or think, as long as he is responsible for Xin Ran.

If he could do it, her son would be his.

Only now did Xin Ran slowly come back from the kitchen with two cups, one for his mother and one for Yan Yan.

When handing it to Yan Yan, he squeezed his fingers flatteringly and reassuringly.

Xin Xiao blew on the tea leaves and said tauntingly, "Stop eavesdropping?"

It was rare for Xin Ran not to speak back, and shrank beside Yan Yan, honestly pretending to be dumb.

"But I have to ask a few more questions..."

"You're not finished yet."

Xin Ran muttered in a low voice, and then her mother gave her a look, so she had to keep silent again.

"You have to tell me what's your name?"

"My surname is Yan, and my name is Yan."

Yan Yan is much more relaxed now, and has adjusted himself to be an obedient junior who chats with his elders.

"Which..."

Before Xin Xiao finished asking, Xin Ran rushed to answer: "That Yan who 'talks and laughs at Yan Yan'."

Xin Xiao looked at him with raised eyebrows, meaning "You know a lot."

Xin Xiao asked casually, "Is it the surname of Xin Ran's dean?"

"Yeah." Yan Yan had suffered a lot for lying to others before, but now he confessed immediately, "His dean is my father."

The air was quiet for two seconds.

Xin Ran turned to look at Yan Yan dully, Xin Xiao looked at Xin Ran in surprise, and turned to look at Yan Yan.

Yan Yan: "That, uh."

To be honest, now he doesn't know what to say after "that".

"You mean, the dean of Yan Ning is your father?"

"...Well, Professor Yan Wan is my mother."

Facing the question from his mother-in-law, Yan Yan nodded mechanically, and at least complained about his own father a hundred and eighty times in his heart.

"Then... let's do it."

Xin Xiao was dumbfounded, it was also the first time she experienced what it was like to be "poor in words".

Half an hour later, the pair of extremely ill-fitting cotton slippers Xin Xiao was wearing finally returned to their original owners.

Yan Yan, who saw off his mother-in-law, imitated Xin Ran's usual way of spreading pancakes, indulged himself rolling on the soft bed, and said, "I'm scared to death".

Xin Ran kicked him down, and repeatedly ordered him to "don't roll on the bed without taking off his coat and pants".

"She won't come here as promised?"

Yan Yan sat on the ground, pitifully.

"It's 'almost' never coming here."

Xin Ran sent Yan Yan to take a bath, and lay flat on the bed with a smirk, because his mother quietly warned him before leaving the house, remember to bring him home on New Year's Day.

After all, I haven't finished seeing the parents I should see.

So hurry up and ask Xin Ran to explain to Yan Yan, so as not to be nervous when the time comes.

In fact, Xin Ran did not expect that he could "lead Yan Yan into the house" with such high efficiency. First, he was afraid that his family would scare their children by acting like a forced marriage. Second, he couldn't make a judgment on his own family What kind of attitude will you have towards the young Yan Yan?

What if I hurt him?Originally, Yan Yan seemed to be obsessed with such things as "age difference".

Xin Ran himself did not expect his mother to behave so calmly and outstandingly today, nor did he expect Yan Yan to behave like this with a hint of nervousness and fluster in the beginning when he was a little bewildered, but it was true. firmness and determination.

Xin Ran sighed silently in her heart: I really am loved by great people.

Besides, Xin Xiao's sudden visit today was not a whim.

Every year during the New Year's Day holiday, Xin Ran would stay home and refuse any entertainment, even though he didn't have any serious entertainment to participate in.

Not only that, but he will also ask for leave from the hospital, which varies from three to five days depending on the annual holiday date.

There is no other reason. January 1th is the anniversary of Xin Ran's father's death.

Although this habit has been maintained for almost 15 years, not to mention his own mother, the Wang family, Wen Shu, Yan Ningzhi, Yan Wan, and later Jian Jian all know about it.

But at the end of December, Xin Xiao would "suddenly remember" and call Xin Ran to remind him to remember to go home on New Year's Day.

So the "worried" that my mother said when she came here today is not a casual rhetoric.

Xin Xiao was really worried when the phone didn't get through all night.

Xin Ran didn't take his mother's surname before junior high school, but he resolutely changed it after his father passed away in an accident.

When the accident happened, Xin Ran had just entered junior high school, at the time when she was learning to make up her own mind and was a bit rebellious.

He can always remember the scene when the three of them huddled happily on the same sofa and watched TV. Xin Xiao described his father as a big tree with a happy face, sheltering the small house under the tree from the wind and rain, and enjoying the shade.

But who would have thought that not only the big tree fell, but it also smashed down my own house.

After Xin Ran's father passed away in the accident, he found out that he had already betrayed the family through the traces and some relics left at the scene.

Xin Xiao didn't hide it from Xin Ran.

But Xin Ran still can't figure out why - he is such a good mother.

The warm scenes of the early years were kept in the past by Xin Ran. The father he had always trusted happened to be a scumbag, and he left nothing to the two of them except foreign debts.

Fortunately, the debts are all relatives, and there are not many, so there is no way out. In the days when Xin Xiao lost weight from 120 catties to 100 catties, he paid them back.

With the price of favor, there is only a lot more.

When Xin Ran recalled his student days, he didn't feel desolate. The people who extended a warm helping hand at that time are still around him now.

Those encounters, which are not really good, have also made Xin Xiao, who is self-reliant and self-reliant, and himself now.

No resentment, no dissatisfaction.

It's been so long, and he can't remember clearly what was thinking in his little heart at that time, and he can't remember whether Xin Xiao broke down and cried while holding him.

What he remembers clearly are those little days he spent, down-to-earth and happy.

"We have been married for 15 years. If I don't visit him, there won't even be someone who burns paper for him."

This is what Xin Xiao seems to say to him, but also seems to be talking to himself.

"I don't judge your father, but I can feel that you have a very good home now, and you don't need anything."

Yan Yan bowed his head in silence for a while, and then listened with great interest to Xin Ran's impromptu talk about the past trivia, good, bad, happy, sad, relieved, and unforgettable, with various relatives interspersed in the middle their little stories.

In the end, he just turned off the warm bedside lamp, covered Xin Ran with a quilt, pulled her into his arms, and then gave such a comment.

Evaluation from the heart.

This is enough for Xin Ran to sleep happily and contentedly at night.

Yan Yan still remembered that when he first heard about Xin Ran's "History of Hegemony", the first big reaction of his body after being amazed was feeling sorry for him.

It was also from that time that Yan Yan belatedly discovered the inexplicable feelings that quietly took root in his heart and grew stronger day by day.

At that time, Yan Yan secretly promised that in the future, with him around, he would never let him live such a hard life again.

Even Xin Ran may not feel how hard it is.

But Yan Yan just felt distressed.

Subconsciously in his sleep, he had no choice but to hug him a little tighter.
