After sending everyone away, Sheng Xia cleaned up the house.Originally, Shi Ye was going to have psychological consultation at night, but Dr. Wen's child was sick, and the next time could only be after the next year.He was distracted while washing the dishes, thinking about whether to stay at home or go out for a stroll at night, when suddenly he heard Shi Ye calling him from behind: "—Midsummer."

He and Shi Ye called each other very politely.So far, Shi Ye has never called him by his nickname, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be anything dear.Xiao Xiang also asked him this question. Sheng Xia said frankly that they like to call each other by name. He usually calls him Teacher Shi Ye, and under special circumstances he calls him brother.Shi Ye also seemed to like to hear him call him teacher in midsummer, and he was probably used to it.Come to think of it, they're pretty boring.

Sheng Xia looked back and saw Shi Ye holding two oranges, with a somewhat impatient expression on his face, and asked, "How long do you have to wash?"

"It'll be ready in 2 minutes." Sheng Xia glanced at the orange in Shi Ye's hand and understood, "Wait for me, I'll peel it later."

Shi Ye didn't answer, didn't leave, just leaned on the side to watch Sheng Xia wash the dishes slowly, without urging, just watched Sheng Xia's movements.

Before the dishes were washed, Midsummer's phone rang again.Shi Ye held the orange and went to pick up the phone. He was about to answer it, but he hesitated when he saw the caller.

"Your mother." Shi Ye said to Sheng Xia, "Come pick me up?"

Sheng Xia paused for a moment, then replied without looking back: "Just pick it up."

Shi Ye stared at the phone silently for several seconds, and was about to pick it up, but the phone hung up.

He hadn't breathed a sigh of relief yet, but in the next second Zhao Jie directly made a video call.

Shi Ye panicked and frightened the oranges in his hand. He lowered his head to pick them up, shook his thumb, and pressed the answer button without paying attention.

When the picture was clear, Zhao Jie's face appeared on the screen.She should be sitting in the yard, with the warm sunshine behind her, the background sound is a bit noisy, and there are still a lot of people in the ancient city near the Chinese New Year.

Zhao Jie frowned when she saw Shi Ye on the other side of the phone.Shi Ye pinched the phone and felt more and more nervous, but Zhao Jie's first sentence was: "When I was young, how many degrees are there in Beijing now, why are you wearing only one piece of clothing?"

Shi Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Although the relationship is good now, he is still a little afraid of Zhao Jie.Shi Ye managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "I'm not cold."

"I think it's snowing in the weather forecast, why are you wearing just one piece of clothing?" Zhao Jie obviously cared about Shi Ye's health, "What about midsummer? Didn't he tell you to wear more clothes? You'll catch a cold like this! Before I sent my hat and scarf and you don't need it?"

Shi Ye could only hurry back to the room to get dressed. He picked up the black scarf Zhao Jie made for himself and wrapped it casually. While wearing the clothes with one hand, he said to Zhao Jie: "It's not very cold at home. It's all closed..."

"You can't do this." Zhao Jie frowned, and began to preach, "Don't pay attention to these things when you think you are young and healthy, and don't pursue good looks and wear less clothes. The body is the most important thing, or you will reach my age in the future ..."

Shi Ye could only hold up his phone and listen to Zhao Jie's chanting for more than ten minutes.Sheng Xia had already finished washing the dishes. He listened to Zhao Jie's voice on the loudspeaker and smiled silently. He didn't come to make a rescue, but just peeled oranges and watched the excitement.Anyway, Shi Ye usually doesn't listen to what he's talking about, but when Zhao Jie is talking, Shi Ye will honestly nod his head.

After the routine chanting was over, Zhao Jie asked again: "Have you slept better recently? Is the traditional Chinese medicine you brought over effective? How much is left?"

Shi Ye nodded: "I've slept much better recently, it's useful. There seems to be some medicine left..." He glanced at Sheng Xia, and Sheng Xia replied next to him, "There are still two packs."

Zhao Jie nodded over there, and told Shi Ye to eat and sleep well.Shi Ye kept his face sullen the whole time, smiling very stiffly.

When he was 30 years old, a mother suddenly came to discipline him. He was not used to such a soft environment, and he was still a little rusty after adapting to it for more than half a year.

"It's three or four days before Chinese New Year, and you all have to give me a letter of approval. If I don't come back, I will go to Singapore with my friends." Zhao Jie asked again, "What do your parents say this year? If you die, don't come back to see You take a look, right?"

Shi Ye was silent for a while, and then said: "Same as before, they sent me postcards and food, and I don't know much about the rest."

"Then it's better to come back, the weather in Dali is better." Zhao Jie sighed, and didn't extend the topic, "After finishing the work, I will come back if I am not busy. The three of us celebrate the New Year, and then go to see Dad Shengxia .”

Shi Ye didn't say back, nor did he say no, he just said: "If we want to go back, we must say it in advance."

"If you buy a ticket, hurry up, it's only three or four days away." Zhao Jie confessed, "If you want to come back, don't let Sheng Xia buy those messy pastries, it's too bad. The sauced beef you sent last time can be brought A little bit, that's delicious."

Zhao Jie talked with Shi Ye all the time, and after asking this and that, she had no intention of asking Shi Ye to give Sheng Xia her phone.When she was about to hang up the phone, she said alms to Sheng Xia in dialect: "Be smart, don't trouble Xiao Xiao, you will die all day long."

Sheng Xia humbly accepted Zhao Jie's disgust.

The turning point of Zhao Jie's attitude towards them was last year's Mid-Autumn Festival.

That time when she came to Beijing to discuss business with friends, she didn't tell Sheng Xia in advance.Zhao Jie was caught off guard when he came to the company, Shi Ye was unprepared, and Sheng Xia hurriedly took Zhao Jie to have a meal.

Because of her precious son's sexual orientation, Zhao Jie and Sheng Xia fought back and forth for four years. During those four years, Sheng Xia was also rebellious and refused to use Zhao Jie's money. The tuition fees were all earned by herself, and she never returned for four years. Home.Time can often smooth out some obsessions. In the process of slowly accepting some irreversible facts, Zhao Jie also chose to compromise with reality and family affection.She is a businessman, so she can't be confused. She knows that instead of letting Shengxia mix with dubious people, it's better for him to find a suitable and proper person, regardless of the age of a man or a woman, it's just safe and reliable.After all, if she doesn't go home for another four years, she really can't bear it.

That meeting with Shi Ye, both Zhao Jie and Shi Ye had mixed feelings.Shi Ye didn't know how to face Zhao Jie as a mother, but as a man he knew he had to face it.Zhao Jie didn't know how to communicate with Shi Ye. After all, Sheng Xia liked each other more. She came all the way here, and she had such an ugly fight with her family... The negotiation was unequal from the beginning, even if Zhao Jie Jie has many worries, and Shi Ye's identity makes her unable to speak.

But Shi Ye was very frank, and expressed his position before Zhao Jie preempted it.Just like an ordinary junior, he reported his family situation, education level, savings and garage at the dinner table in a very sincere manner.At that time, Sheng Xia was stunned when he heard it, his face turned red and then paled, and he was surprised that this was what Shi Ye could say, and he was also emotional... Shi Ye seems to be rich?

After Zhao Jie finished listening, she didn't say anything about Shi Ye's high school graduation and eight-figure savings. She caught the point and asked, "When did you say your parents divorced? Didn't care about you anymore? Then who brought you?"

Zhao Jie was very angry at Shi Ye's irresponsible parents that day, and she was still aggrieved when she left the restaurant. She completely forgot the point of her meal, and also forgot that Shi Ye was not short of money. She gave Shi Ye 5000 yuan to buy a pair of shoes. (Shi Ye wore a pair of old-fashioned Martins that day, Zhao Jie didn't think it looked good)

After getting in touch with her more, Zhao Jie liked Shi Ye more.She has a straightforward personality, and in terms of temper alone, she gets along better with Shi Ye, and because of Shi Ye's family relationship, she has a heart of compassion, so she often takes care of Shi Ye.If you want to go deeper, Zhao Jie actually has selfishness as a mother. After all, she treats Shi Ye better. With this kind of affection, at least her son can be taken care of by Shi Ye more if he wants to.

Ye hadn't recovered from the phone call with Zhao Jie.

He looked at Sheng Xia's cell phone, took a long breath, and whispered: "...If I go back to celebrate the New Year, I will be read to death by my aunt."

For Shi Ye, every time he called Zhao Jie, it was a kind of painful and happy mental torture.

Sheng Xia put the peeled orange into Shi Ye's palm: "I still feel very happy. She doesn't miss me now, but misses you all day long. You helped me divert the fire."

Shi Ye sat on the bed depressed for 2 minutes.Just now, holding the phone for too long, he felt a little cold sweat in his palm and felt uncomfortable. He wanted to wipe it off. There was a tissue beside Sheng Xia. He was too lazy to move, so he raised his chin to signal Sheng Xia to get him a paper, and spread his hand Waiting in front of Shengxia's face to pick it up.

However, Sheng Xia didn't notice Shi Ye's movements, he was busy peeling the oranges, and only saw the palms spread out in front of him.

After staring at that hand and pondering for two seconds, a light bulb suddenly lit up in Sheng Xia's mind. He remembered a very popular video that Xiao wanted to show him before, and felt that he knew it instantly, so he watched Looking at Shi Ye, he moved a little closer, and put his chin into Shi Ye's palm, and the movement became that Shi Ye was holding his face.

Shi Ye: "..."

Sheng Xia looked at Shi Ye with a speechless expression on his face, and felt that this reaction seemed wrong. Could it be that he didn't cooperate well?After thinking for a while, he leaned against Shi Ye's palm, smiled and blinked at Shi Ye.

"What are you thinking all day long?" Shi Ye was amused, and simply pinched Sheng Xia's face and began to rub it, "I asked you to take paper, I want to wipe my hands."

Sheng Xia said: "Wipe my face, it's okay."

Shi Ye glanced at him: "Aren't you shameless?"

"You still need a face, just have a thicker skin." Sheng Xia rubbed his palm, "How can I catch up with you if you are not thick-skinned."

When Sheng Xia's hair grew a little bit, Shi Ye said it looked good, let's keep it for a try, Sheng Xia hadn't cut it before, it was almost shoulder length now, and could barely be tied up.Sheng Xia's face is small, and it looks very delicate if it is a little longer. It should look better on the camera.When Shi Ye was free, he rubbed his head, and felt that it felt good. He liked to mess up Sheng Xia's hair, and then slowly smoothed Sheng Xia's hair with his hands. It was very fun to do it.

"Have you ever chased me?" Shi Ye's tone remained unchanged, "Why don't I remember."

Sheng Xia thought for a while, then nodded: "Is there...?"

"No."

"have it?"

"No."

Sheng Xia smiled, knowing that Shi Ye was tactfully complaining about something in the past again, he whispered, "From then on, I will chase you once a day?"

"Okay." Shi Ye rubbed Sheng Xia's hair, "I'll see your chasing level and then consider whether you agree or not. If you're too vulgar, too explicit, and too indecent, I'll reject it."

"Understood." Sheng Xia nodded, "It's also right to refuse, I accept the rejection, and I will be able to make persistent efforts next time."

Shi Ye finally smiled.He hugged Sheng Xia and thought about it, and suddenly said: "Otherwise, you should go back to celebrate the New Year by yourself, Auntie misses you too. I just happened to go to Los Angeles during the New Year to see the scene."

After hearing this, Sheng Xia frowned: "I'll go back alone, and my mother will scold me."

"You just say that I have a job." Shi Ye patted his head, "Tomorrow we'll go buy something my aunt likes to eat, and I'll sell two bottles of better red wine, and then you can bring them back, and you can go back to accompany my aunt, Go see your dad too."

Sheng Xia leaned against Shi Ye's hand, kept looking up at him, and said slowly after a long time: "No."

In fact, Zhao Jie had asked them insincerely a month ago if they wanted to go back for the New Year. Every time, Shi Ye would talk about him, or he would just say vaguely that he was busy with work, and he would look again.They basically work together, and Sheng Xia knows very well that Shi Ye doesn't have any work, and there is nothing to do during the Chinese New Year.

He and Shi Ye looked at each other in silence for a long time.

After a while, Shi Ye was the first to lose. He sighed and said, "That's your home, it's strange that I go back with you."

"As soon as my mother is free, she will look for your concerts and videos, and she must tell the neighbors and friends that you are good-looking." Sheng Xia frowned, "She used to always despise me for being stupid, thinking that I was smart but Had a very retarded child. I fought with her for four years before she accepted it, and now she doesn't think we're weird, she treats you better than me, she likes you."

Shi Ye avoided Midsummer's eyes: "...I know, I am very grateful to her. But... I don't want to go, I am not suitable for that kind of occasion. The better she treats me, the more uneasy I am, and I can't enter that place. This kind of relationship, every time I think of..."

When Shi Ye was speaking, Sheng Xia felt his hand holding his face trembling slightly.

Sheng Xia was so frightened that he straightened up and went to hold his hand: "Brother, stop talking, we won't go back, I won't talk."

Shi Ye was nervous, anxious, and would shake his hands when he had bad memories.For a while, it even affected his playing the guitar. This problem came up again and again, and it would jump out from time to time to startle people. Sometimes he didn't even realize that his hands were shaking. This problem was discovered by Sheng Xia first.

"It's nothing to say, Doctor Wen told me that it's not a bad thing to face yourself." Shi Ye looked very calm, "It's okay, I haven't shivered recently, maybe it's because it's a little cold today...don't be afraid. "

Sheng Xia tried to make his expression more natural, he squeezed Shi Ye's hand tightly, and said softly: "I'm not afraid. It's okay, we won't go back... You can tell me what you want to say, and forget it if you don't want to."

"Tell me," Shi Ye smiled at him, "Doctor Wen told me to talk to you more when she's not around. Don't wait for me to say it myself every time."

He paused and added: "Ask me more. As long as you ask, I will tell you."
