In the next few weeks, Zhao's mother repeatedly invited Cheng Che to have dinner at home.

However, every time Cheng Che told Zhao Qingling, Zhao Qingling always looked indifferent and unhappy.

So Cheng Che had no choice but to tell Mother Zhao that he was busy.

But I pushed it once and twice, so the number of times increased, and I gradually felt embarrassed to push it again. That day, Mother Zhao called again:

"Auntie has made a lot of steamed stuffed buns for you. It doesn't matter if you don't come to eat. They will be warmed up for breakfast at home. There are all kinds of stuffing, come and get some when you have time?"

It's hard to give up.Cheng Che couldn't refuse anymore, so he stopped by to get it after get off work that day.

Sure enough, she was grabbed by Zhao's mother, served with good tea and snacks, and Baba started talking.

Zhao's mother: "Your uncle and I have a parent-child relationship with Qingling. In fact, I really regret it."

"So Xiao Cheng, you must help me and his father, and speak a lot of good things about us in front of Qingling! He will listen to you now, please, please!"

"I know that Qing Ling blamed me, blamed me for forcing him every day when he was young, and being too strict with him. But I was young at that time, and I couldn't accept his father's affair outside. I had a mental breakdown and did a lot of myself. something to regret.”

"It's only after these years that I've grown older that I've gradually lost sight of it."

"It's the same with his father, going around and around, and finally came back to know the preciousness of family."

"However, those who have done wrong in the past have already done wrong...Xiao Cheng, can you tell Qingling for us, Mom and Dad didn't do it on purpose, we were all young at that time, and we were both parents for the first time."

"We are really introspective now and want to make up for him."

……

After Zhao Qingyan was discharged from the hospital, he also moved into the villa.

Although he has read many books, he has never been out of the hospital in his whole life, and he is very new to everything outside.

During those days, Cheng Chi took him around a lot.

Shopping malls, amusement parks, bookstores, vegetable markets.Or go to the lake to watch the sunrise together, and then go to the pasture to watch the sunset.

There is still half a year of the college entrance examination, and it is very difficult to transfer to a class in the third year of high school, so the two of them simply went to a special cram school together, studied together and went home together every day, and did their homework seriously in the study room with the lights on.

"In the past, when we first had Qi Wei in our family, it always felt like we had a cat."

"It's very quiet and elegant."

One day, Cheng Che watched the two children scrambling for supper while doing their homework every day, and couldn't help muttering: "Now that I have the two of them, it feels like..."

Zhao Qingling: "It seems to have raised two more dogs?"

Cheng Che smiled a little embarrassedly.

Although it's hard to say that the younger brothers are dogs, but in fact, it feels...it's really similar.

Zhao Qingling: "It's okay, I think so too. A white Samoyed, a husky."

Cheng Che: "Xiao Yan can't be as stupid as Satsuma, right? At least he's also a Bian Mu with a high IQ."

And the other one is recognized as Huskies.No help.

……

During the Chinese New Year that year, everyone went to Zhao Qingling's parents' house for a New Year's Eve dinner.

Including Qi Wei, Cheng Chi, and even Zhao Qingyan.

In fact, it is said that this relationship is a little embarrassing.But fortunately, although Zhao's mother has been bitter about this illegitimate child for the past ten years, she has never really met Zhao Qingyan.

So now, since he has let go of the past, he simply treats him as a child of ordinary relatives, treats him equally and treats him gently with a smile.

And Zhao Qingyan was also obedient, and responded politely.

Zhao's mother must have been very hardworking that day. She decorated the villa with small colored lights early on, and prepared a large table of dishes. During the banquet, the whole family looked lively and happy.

Although Zhao's father is an "enemy of the people", the two sons are reluctant to talk to him, but fortunately, they have something to say with the Cheng brothers and Qi Wei.He has been doing it for most of his life and he knows that this time his sons are willing to go home is enough to give him face, and he is also happy, and he also drank two glasses of wine.

After eating, the young people ran to the yard to set off fireworks.

The snow is silver and white, reflecting the sky full of gorgeous and brilliant fireworks.

On the ground, small bright lights also rose here and there.

Qi Wei took the small fireworks and walked to Zhao Qingling's side.

Zhao Qingling was sitting on the terrace, holding a small burning firework stick in his hand.Ren didn't control the fireworks, but quietly watched his lover and his two younger brothers build a snowman.

They should have been piled up long ago, but it's a pity that two of them are clever and handy, but there is one Erha who keeps helping.

Qi Wei: "Senior, are you okay?"

Zhao Qingling looked up at him: "I'm fine."

"Really?"

Zhao Qingling: "Of course, why do you ask that?"

"It's nothing." Qi Wei squinted his eyes and breathed out slowly, his breath condensed into ice in the dark night.

"I just think that during this time, the senior...in order to protect Brother Cheng's happiness and protect him from any harm, he is really strong and excellent. He handles everything so perfectly, which is impressive. .”

Zhao Qingling: "Excellent, what a boyfriend should do."

"Well. But maybe that would be the worst, wouldn't it?"

Zhao Qingling: "..."

Zhao Qingling: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing interesting, I just think that 'perfect boyfriend' is not the senior's 'inherent attribute'. Don't get me wrong, I always think that the senior is actually a very good person."

"...But to be honest, there must be a reason for being so bad and famous in the eyes of others, right?"

"But now for Brother Cheng, the senior seems to have disappeared those things that everyone hates. So much so that I have some doubts. Is the 'perfect' senior in front of me now a real senior?"

"Aren't you tired if you hold on like this all the time, all the time?"

……

……

The snowman is finished.

There are a total of two piles.Long noses, cuddling each other, and wearing a scarf together are cute.

Qi Wei ran over to take a few photos.

After filming, Cheng Che patted him and handed him a bowl of glutinous rice balls for supper.

Cheng Che: "Auntie cooked it, stuffed with black sesame seeds."

Cheng Che: "Oh, I really don't want you to leave."

Qi Wei has already lived in Zhao Qingling's house shamelessly for more than half a year, and must leave after the next year.

After all, I have to go back to the United States to hand in my research paper, otherwise the tutor may explode in place.

Cheng Che: "Then... after you graduate, will you return to your country? Even if you don't return to your country, you should come to play frequently in the future. You are welcome to come back to live in our family anytime!"

Qi Wei smiled and took a mouthful of glutinous rice balls, it was very sweet: "Okay."

Cheng Che: "By the way, I seem to have forgotten to ask you. Your family members are all in the United States now, right?"

Qi Wei: "Well, they are all there. My dad is a physicist and now works at Bell Labs. My mom is a singer and plays musicals on Broadway. My sister is a dentist working in San Francisco, and my brother-in-law is a pharmacist."

Cheng Che: Such an elite family? ?

No wonder this kind of Ph.D. master is cultivated! ! !

While speaking, Cheng Che was called into the room by Zhao's mother again.When he came out, he took several stacked plates of nuts and pastries in his hand.

"Hey, haha, Auntie seems to be always afraid that I won't be full, and she likes to feed me. I told her that I just ate glutinous rice balls, and I can't eat any more."

A few more fireworks lit up in the night sky, Qi Wei looked up: "Brother Cheng... you should feel very happy now, right?"

Cheng Che: "Yes."

He lowered his eyes and smiled shyly: "Because actually, this is the first time I've really 'Chinese New Year'."

"When I was young, my family was very poor, and my parents had a bad relationship. No one celebrates the New Year. When I grow up, I am always alone. Like this, there are parents, family, friends, lovers, and snowmen, fireworks, and glutinous rice balls. Ye, really...is my fantasy since I was a child."

"I never thought it would come true, but it turned out to be true today."

"Almost exactly as I imagined. No, better than I imagined."

"So of course I'm happy, so happy that it feels a little unreal."

Qi Wei: "I remember the time before, in the house Xiao Cheng rented before, I asked you if you were afraid of something."

"But now, I always feel... Brother Cheng looks like he's not afraid of anything anymore."

Cheng Che: "Well, yes."

"I'm very happy now and I'm not afraid of anything."

There was another bang of fireworks.

Qi Wei: "I know Brother Xiaocheng is very happy now, and I also know Brother Xiaocheng has always felt that the senior is special. In fact, the senior is indeed a very good, very good person, and I think so too."

"However, he may not be the kind...you can leave everything to him."

"Because he might not be able to handle it."

"I mean, he'll try hard, hard to pick it up, but he won't catch it."

These few words were half hidden in the sound of fireworks.

It seemed to be speaking to Cheng Che, but it also seemed to be Qi Wei talking to himself.

"I don't mean anything else. I'm just afraid that you, Brother Cheng... will be disappointed one day. I hope I'm thinking too much."

Qi Wei felt a little regretful, in fact, maybe he shouldn't have said anything.

After all, brother Cheng and senior are still so happy now.The relationship with other people does not require him to get inoculated wisely and plant a small hidden danger.

Not required.

After the fireworks dissipated, Cheng Che nodded: "Well, I know, I know that happiness cannot depend on others."

"So, I will always work hard and give him everything he wants. Ah, by the way, you can help me with my advice."

Cheng Che took out his mobile phone and secretly showed it to Qi Wei.

On the page, there were several men's rings.

They are all low-key and generous, and some of them look quite suitable for Zhao Qingling.

Cheng Che: "Don't tell him, which one do you think looks better?"

"Of course, I know it's impossible to keep him by my side with this kind of thing, but I still think it's a kind of promise."

"By the way, you can get married in America, right?"

When Cheng Che said this, he felt a little embarrassed: "I don't know what conditions are required to register for marriage abroad?"

……

……

Speaking of marriage.

Tang Mi, Zhao Qingling's childhood sweetheart, originally planned to get married in the early spring of this year.

But when they were approaching the threshold of their 30th birthday, they broke up suddenly.

Tang Mi's mother was shocked when she heard about this, and cried for several days, calling her all kinds of life-threatening serials:

"Mimi! What's wrong with you! Why did you break up? What should we do now? You're so old! Wow, wow, I told you to hurry up and get the certificate before you didn't do it. You really should get the certificate first!"

Tang Mi: "..."

Tang Mi: "Mom, Mom, calm down! I haven't proven this yet, is it luck or misfortune?"

"Because I can find out that he cheated on me before I get the certificate, I just broke up. If I find out after getting the certificate, it will be divorced. Your daughter's breakup or divorce, which one do you choose?"

Mother Tang: "But, but you are so old, and suddenly you can't get married again, what should you do?"

"Oh, think about it carefully, Qingling is not married yet, you—"

Tang Mi: "Mom!!!"

"Didn't you tell me last time that Aunt Xia (Zhao Qingling's mother) has already approved Zhao Qingling's current partner! Calling his partner to go home for dinner every day, even eating New Year's Eve dinner together?!"

Tang's mother: "Oh honey! That's not the way to say it, the harmony of yin and yang is the law of nature. Mom said, you and Zhao Qingling grew up together, and he was able to chase you to the United States back then, which means he still likes you the most. If you are willing to come back, what's the matter with that man?"

Tang's mother: "Well, let me go and talk to your Aunt Xia first, and find out!"

Tang Mi: "Don't go!"

"Mom, listen to me, no! Absolutely no!"

Tang Mi really thinks that breaking up at the age of 30 is nothing.

She is not as pessimistic as her mother.

Although it is very sad to encounter a breakup before marriage, this unsuccessful relationship also allowed her to learn a lot and grow a lot. What about 30 years old?She is confident that she can live to ninety, and there are two 30 years to come.No hurries?

As for Zhao Qingling's love story, in recent years, she has heard a lot from her classmates, mother, and Qi Wei, her junior in the United States.

To be honest, I'm quite envious.

Tang Mi had some things that she didn't tell her mother in detail—the ex-boyfriend's cheating was just the last straw for her breakup.

And before that, a lot of secular things.For example, where to buy a house, how much dowry, and whether to live with the man's parents after marriage, she and her ex-boyfriend have repeatedly quarreled.And after living together, frictions about who buys vegetables, who cooks, who washes dishes, and who mops the floor continue.

Really come to this step of marriage, life is simply too realistic.

so tired.

I feel more and more that there is actually no such love at all, and the final breakup is a relief for everyone.

On the contrary, his childhood sweetheart, former playboy and scumbag, the well-known "faithful dog" Zhao Qingling, loves so sweetly that it is enviable!

Do people care about who does housework with their boyfriend?Are there any petty concerns and fussing about it?

not at all!People are true love!

I heard that Zhao Qingling's house, car, and even half of the company's shares are under Cheng Che's name!

Not at all defensive.It's not like Tang Mi's ex-boyfriend, who always guards against her carefully, as if she will take advantage of him a little bit more!

sorrow! ! !

Now that they broke up, Tang Mi decided to go back to the United States to relax and relax. Soon after her visa was completed, she was about to leave when she received a call from her mother: "Mimi, hurry home! Come back quickly! "

"Zhao Qingling broke up with that man!"

"I knew it! Now it's over, you still have a fate to be together!"

Tang Mi: "???"

broke up?True or false, there is no sign!

Really without warning.

If Tang Mi remembers correctly, looking at Moments or something, didn't they travel together last week to show off their affection? ? ?

She hurriedly gossiped and called Qi Wei.

Qi Wei had just returned to the United States a few days ago, and it was most of the night on his side.

Qi Wei: "What did you say?"

Qi Wei: "Fuck!"
