Rising like the sun

After talking on and on for a long time, the woman's parents finally left and issued an ultimatum: break up with that man before the Chinese New Year, or they will sever relations with her.

The woman wiped the spilled coffee on the table with slow movements, and finally just froze.

Meng Xing said in a low voice: "The two uncles and aunts are very comprehensive. It seems that they came here as a draft. Do you... still want to go there?"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Zhiye picked up the coffee, walked around to the side of the woman with his long legs, and sat down opposite her.Meng Xing hurriedly followed, and found that the two were sitting on the outside, and there was no room for him, so he sat down on the other side of the aisle.

The woman slowly raised her head, and then opened her eyes wide as if she had been greatly frightened, which reminded Lin Zhiye and Meng Sheng of the "The Grudge" they watched two days ago.

"Lin Zhi...Student Lin." The woman didn't dare to call out Lin Zhiye's name, she looked away in a panic, she seemed to have a deep understanding of the last slap.

Lin Zhiye stared at the woman.Submissive, ordinary and weak, he can't think of other adjectives besides these.Why, is such a woman stole my father's heart?

Lin Zhiye said coldly: "Your parents are very reasonable, just do what they think."

"You heard..."

"heard it."

The woman raised her reddened eyes, "I really like your dad."

"I don't care if you're real or fake, as long as it's you, I won't do it." Lin Zhiye leaned forward, as if he wanted to jump over the table and eat the woman.Meng Sheng hurriedly got up and raised his hand to stop him, but seeing him leaning back again, he awkwardly stretched his arms between the two of them.

"Well... let me remove the cups for you." Meng Xing moved the two cups to the table on his side, met the woman's eyes, nodded and said, "Hello."

The woman also nodded, "Hi, I know you are classmate Lin's boyfriend."

Meng Sheng went back to sit down, and the woman turned to Lin Zhiye and said, "You are dating a male classmate to anger your father, right?"

Lin Zhiye frowned, "It's not your turn to take care of my affairs."

The woman was choked, and she pursed her lips tightly and remained silent.

"After my mother passed away, I thought you two had broken up, but I didn't expect you to keep making ends meet."

"For your father, I can bear—"

"Don't elevate yourself! If you dare to pester my dad again, I will go to your parents' house and let them take good care of their daughter." Lin Zhiye said confidently, "I heard that they are all high-level intellectuals. Afraid of such a disgraceful thing."

"I know, I know, you don't need to say any more." The woman lowered her head, and then raised her head unwillingly, "Don't keep resenting your father."

Lin Zhiye felt angry and funny.

Looking at his distorted expression, Meng Sheng was extremely afraid of him running amok in public places, and was always ready to stop him.

"Do you know what my mother looked like when she died?" Lin Zhiye smiled strangely at the woman.

The woman's fingers scratched the corner of the table uneasily.

"She's a piano teacher, you know that? But the bones in her hands are all broken...not just her hands, but her whole body is broken," Lin Zhiye stared at the woman, "such a beautiful person... just because I found you The mess with my dad can only be piled up in the cold funeral parlor, waiting for someone to put her back together."

Meng Sheng shivered, turned his face to the side with the window, looked at the sky like frozen clouds, and recalled the photos in the Lin family's piano room, that woman who could be called stunning and extraordinary.If there is really some god ruling everything in the dark, why should he destroy his proud work?

"I'm sorry..." The woman got up with a pale face, "I'm sorry, I have to go back to work."

"Stop." Lin Zhiye's cold voice seemed to have magical powers, making the woman freeze in place, "After he confessed to you that he had a family, why didn't you hate him? What is his so-called difficulty?"

"I can't say anything, I can only tell you," the woman paused, "Maybe your mother is not as perfect as you think."

Lin Zhiye watched the back of the woman leaving in a hurry, and silently clenched his fists.

Is it over... Meng Sheng felt the words "This episode is over" appear in front of his eyes, he took a long breath, and sat down in the woman's place before, "Would you like another drink?"

Lin Zhiye said to himself: "It's all bullshit excuses... If even my mother is not perfect, then she is a defective product at best."

"Yezi, what do your grandparents think?"

"My mother is an only child. After she passed away, they went abroad, and they don't want to care about these things anymore." Lin Zhiye felt a little lonely, "We only talk occasionally, and we rarely even have videos. They said they would feel sad when they saw me. "

It was past noon when I came out of the golf club.After eating two bowls of Japanese-style ramen, they went shopping in the flower and bird fish market.Lin Zhiye was in a good mood, and dragged Meng Sheng to look around, and finally bought a small aquarium, some scenery and a group of colorful fish.

When passing by a pet store, Lin Zhiye was attracted by all kinds of fluffy creatures in it, and stuck it in front of the window to look at it, "That fat cat of Li Yu is quite cute."

"You want to raise too?"

"The cat is a bit big."

"Then look at the others." Meng Sheng walked into the pet store first, and immediately lost himself in the strange smell.

Everything is fluffy, here, no matter how cold the heart is, it will turn into a pool of spring water in an instant: kittens, rabbits, parrots, chinchillas, hamsters, squirrels...

Lin Zhiye's eyes fell on a chubby hamster with light caramel-colored short fur, and it was constantly stuffing peanuts into its bulging cheeks, much like Meng Sheng's appearance when eating.

"This is a golden bear, it's easy to keep." A handsome shop assistant said beside him.

Meng Sheng also came over, "Do you like it? Just buy a pair if you like it. Can you keep them together?"

"It's best not to, hamsters are solitary animals and have a strong sense of territory."

After discussing for a while, they still bought the male hamster, along with cages, nests, drinking fountains, bathrooms, running wheels and so on.After returning home with big bags and small bags, after placing the aquarium next to the TV, the two got busy around the hamster.

Looking at the furnished hamster mansion, Meng Sheng couldn't help sighing: "It has realized communism ahead of schedule!"

Then the photo was sent to the "Mutual Aid School Group". Li Yu sent a picture of a big head looking up, with a three-tiered chin, a round head and a face full of flesh. The aura of domineering covetousness rushes towards his face. At the same time, he added: Big head said hi , it asked the little friend's name.

"Yeah, I haven't named it yet."

Meng Sheng and Lin Zhiye looked at each other and thought for a while, then spoke almost at the same time:

"Meng Linlin!"

"Lin Mengmeng!"

The two insisted on their own opinions, so they had to draw lots to decide.Seeing "Lin Mengmeng" on the note, Meng Xing covered his face in pain, and then insisted on reading another note.

"I didn't cheat." Lin Zhiye showed the note with "Meng Linlin" in front of his eyes.

"Okay, I'm willing to bet and admit defeat." Meng Sheng grabbed Lin Mengmeng out of the cage and hugged her in the palm of his hand, "You have a future."

"Those little fish can be called Meng Linlin," Lin Zhiye looked at the aquarium and smiled, "Meng Linlin."

Meng Sheng suddenly sighed: "Is it impossible for us to have children?"

"what happened?"

"It's a pity that you have such a good-looking gene that you don't have a few more."

Lin Zhiye touched the fluffy ball in Meng Sheng's palm, "Maybe in 10 or 20 years, men will be able to have children. If you are strong, you can have children as you like."

"That's right!" Meng Sheng imagined a festive scene with a chicken in his left hand, a duck in his right, and a fat baby on his back.

"It's time for you to cook." Lin Zhiye reminded him, taking Mengmeng over at the same time.

Meng Sheng put on his apron, opened the refrigerator and quickly decided on the recipe for tonight, and then heard Lin Zhiye say, "Hao Cheng asked us to play golf tomorrow."

Since the holidays, the basketball team has often made appointments to play together, and when there are many people, they will play intra-team games.Meng Sheng is still not very fond of basketball, but he loves Lin Zhiye, so he has always been serious.Moreover, he especially loves to see the sweat beaded on Lin Zhiye's face, the eighteen-year-old school grass, even sweating has the fragrance of youth.

"Yezi, don't you need to accompany your girlfriend?"

During the break, Zhao Haocheng asked suddenly.

A few people from the basketball team cheered and surrounded them, and you asked one by one: "Yes, Ye Zi, show us the photo, it must be very beautiful!"

Lin Zhiye almost forgot that before the final exam, everyone was staring at the back of his neck...

"No, I didn't. That mark was accidentally made while playing with Li Xin and the others."

"An explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth."

"Really not..." However, Lin Zhiye's ears turned red quietly.

While gulping water, Meng Sheng looked at his embarrassment with great interest, imagining in his mind how to carry out "night activities" today.

"Would you dare to show us who is on the top of your WeChat."

As soon as Luo Ben's words came out, there were bursts of approval.This time, even Meng Sheng felt embarrassed. He had never noticed this before, but it was probably him...

"Okay." Lin Zhiye compromised, took the mobile phone from the bag, and waved it around in front of everyone, "Did you see it?"

Disappointed sighs joined together, and Meng Xing found that Zhao Haocheng was obviously relieved.

"So it's your father!"

Meng Sheng also heaved a sigh of relief. Although he was a little disappointed, he also felt a little shocked and warm... Putting his father on top but never talking to him, this kind of awkward thing is really suitable for Lin Zhiye.

"Huh? Just now I saw a man named Mengmeng... the profile picture is Meng Sheng, right?" Luo Ben said again in shock.

Seeing everyone turning their heads in unison, Meng Xing was startled and hiccupped.

"That...is...my nickname." Meng Xing muttered in an inaudible voice, "I was very cute when I was young..."

Everyone was stunned, and then laughed wildly, Lin Zhiye was also holding back his laughter, only Zhao Haocheng remained expressionless.

"Mengmeng...hahaha," Luo Ben clutched his stomach and came to Meng Xing's side, "I didn't expect you to be named Mengmeng! Hahaha, I almost thought you were Ye Zi's mysterious girlfriend!"

In the next team match, Meng Xing was called "Mengmeng" countless times, "You pass the ball, Mengmeng", "Mengmeng guards him"!

Until everyone went to take a shower when they were tired from playing, Meng Sheng still couldn't lift his head like a frost-beaten eggplant.

"Mengmeng!" Luo Ben yelled in the ear of Meng Sheng, who closed his eyes and rushed his hair, causing him to choke.

"What the hell are you doing!"

"Look at Mengmeng's back! You were caught like this!"

Following Luo Ben's call, everyone patted him on the back and sighed: "I didn't see it, what are you capable of doing!"

"Seeing how stupid you are, I thought you were a young chicken..."

Accompanied by the overwhelming amount of nasty jokes, Meng Xing escaped from the locker room in embarrassment, and Lin Zhiye followed with a blushing face.

"It's over, it's over, my image in the team is completely ruined."

"Congratulations, you have experienced my torment before the final exam."

When they left the basketball hall, they were stopped by Zhao Haocheng, "I'll see you off, anyway."

As soon as he got in the car, Meng Sheng found that the key was lost and hurried back to look for it.Zhao Haocheng got out of the car and lit a cigarette.

Lin Zhiye also got out of the car, stretched out two fingers to pinch the cigarette from his mouth, took a light puff and then spit it out, "It doesn't have any special smell."

Zhao Haocheng stared closely at his lips, "Suck it in, like breathing."

Lin Zhiye took another puff, trying to inhale into his lungs, then coughed violently, and returned the smoke.

Zhao Haocheng smiled, "Come here, if you stand upwind here, you won't be able to smell the smoke."

Lin Zhiye stood over as he said.

Zhao Haocheng blew out a smoke ring of failure, and said with a smile: "Mengmeng, isn't it? The note you gave me, but my name... Sigh, I'm so jealous."

His face was smiling, but his eyes were full of coldness.This look made Lin Zhiye feel that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
