Chapter 57: Mountain Moon 2

When I hung up the takeaway phone and went downstairs, the huge living room was quiet, only a few lights glowing faintly in the dark.When Xia Yubing took the takeaway and closed the door and turned on the light, he happened to meet the open eyes of the person lying on the sofa, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

"Mom." Xia Yubing called out first.

"You... ordered takeaway?" Mother Xia was stunned for a while, then said with a smile.

Xia Yubing nodded.

"Mom thought you were already asleep." Mother Xia said.

Xia Yubing didn't speak, and Xia's mother didn't seem to know what to say, and the atmosphere between the two became dull again.

Xia Yubing carried the bag and walked towards the kitchen, halfway, he suddenly turned around and said to the person behind him, "Do you want to eat together?"

Xia's mother was obviously stunned for a while, and then said: "Mom is not hungry, if you are hungry, go and eat quickly, otherwise the food will be cold."

"I'm not particularly hungry, and he ordered too much, I couldn't finish it." Xia Yubing seemed a little helpless when he mentioned "him".Xia's mother was a little surprised by the sudden waves in her usually lake-like eyes.After hesitating for a moment, she nodded and sat down at the dining table, watching her son slowly unpack the bag, set out the lunch boxes in the bag one by one and lift the lid, then slowly walked to the cabinet to take Several small bowls, two pairs of chopsticks and two spoons were placed in front of her calmly, and then she sat down and said lightly, "Let's eat."

This takeaway is really rich, fish-flavored pork shreds, braised pork, special fish balls, fried spinach, abalone porridge, blueberry yam, fruit salad, Xia Yubing is ashamed of the amount, but in all honesty, they look really... It looks delicious.Xia Yubing scooped up half a bowl of porridge with a spoon and started eating slowly.

"There are so many orders..." Mother Xia laughed.

After Xia Yubing swallowed the food in his mouth, he replied: "The classmate ordered it." After speaking, he rarely complained a few words, which made Xia's mother a little surprised.Ever since he became sensible, his son has always been unsmiling in front of them, often expressionless, and the only violent mood swings are probably only the quarrel after the college entrance examination.

"Classmate? Could it be a girlfriend?" Mother Xia teased.

Xia Yubing paused when he heard the words, and just when Xia Mu thought he would not say anything, he said concisely "No." After Xia Yubing finished speaking, he scooped a few spoonfuls of porridge into Xia Mu's bowl, "Mom, you too Eat more." This action was completely done subconsciously, Xia Yubing was stunned for a while after finishing it, but when he thought of trying Qu Hedong like this, he understood.

On the contrary, Xia's mother seemed a little happy: "I haven't seen you in half a year, Xiaoyu has changed a lot." Xia Yubing raised her head when she heard the words, and heard Xia's mother continue to say: "It has become more mature."

Xia Yubing curled the corners of his mouth shyly when he heard the words, but he still didn't say a word—to be honest, he really didn't know what to say. Ever since he was a child, the relationship between him and his parents was always accompanied by one after another. silence.The two ate in silence.

Xia Yubing scooped up a mouthful of blueberry yam, and was about to put it into his mouth, when he heard Xia's mother ask: "How are you doing in school? Are you used to it? How are you doing with your roommates? Can you tell mom about the school life?" What about it? Let mom know about it too. "

Xia Yubing was obviously stunned for a moment, these questions seemed distant and unfamiliar to him.He vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he often told his family about all kinds of new things that happened in school as soon as he went home, but since when did this situation become less and less?He thought for a moment and nodded and said: "Fortunately, there are a lot of school activities, very lively. The roommates are also very good. Our dormitory is a four-person room, one is from the northeast, named Gao Long. He is a rough guy; He is from the south, his name is Lu Yan, he has a baby face, he is very lively, he is also a foodie, he always keeps a lot of snacks in the cabinet, um... the other one, his name is Qu Hedong, he is B A native of the city, very... How should I put it, he is a very good person."

Xia's mother obviously wanted to hear more, but Xia Yubing didn't continue, but instead asked, "Mom, how are you and Dad doing at work?"

Xia's mother was very surprised when she heard her son's question. This was probably the first time in half a year that her son had asked about them.

"Very good. Your father is on a business trip now, and he probably won't be back in a week or two. Your mother and I are just on vacation these days. Is there any place you want to go? Mom can accompany you. "

"I'm past the age to go out and be accompanied by my parents." Xia Yubing said without thinking. As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere that the mother and son had finally eased up froze again.Looking at a table of sumptuous food, the two lost their appetite.

"...I'm sorry, Mom and Dad were too busy to take care of you in the past." Mother Xia said with a sigh.

Xia Yubing didn't speak.After a while, Xia Yubing picked up the spoon and poured the soup into Xia's mother's bowl: "Drink it, or it will be cold."

Mother Xia suddenly looked up, but what she saw was her son with the same expressionless face as usual.Although it was very subtle, she could still feel the difference in the same thing. The tone of her son's speech had inadvertently softened a lot compared to before.

Just then, the notification bell rang.Xia Yubing took a look at the mobile phone on the table and found that it was a message from Qu Hedong.

@曲: How about it?delicious. /dog head/

@夏虫: It’s okay...but you ordered too much /打鼻/

@曲: Is it a lot?Not much, just a few dishes, and I have never eaten at that restaurant, so I don’t know how the portion is. Would you like to post a picture for me? /dog head/

Xia Yubing looked at her mother who was sitting on the side, and shook her head in refusal.

@夏虫: Don't.

@曲: Are you sure you don't want to take a photo to commemorate it?I have to order takeaway with you after such a long distance, this is the testimony of our great friendship. /dog head/

Under Qu Hedong's bombardment, Xia Yubing finally took a photo of the dining table with his mobile phone and sent it.

@夏虫: Well, the leftovers are all yours.

@曲: /Picking the nose/Do you want to do this, brother dei.

@夏虫: Isn't that what you want?

@曲: /打鼻/I treat you this way, why don't you express it?

These words seem to have crossed the line, but hundreds of kilometers away, some embarrassment that would occur face to face is worn away by the space and wiped away.

@夏虫: Well, thank you for the supper.

@曲: That's it?

@夏虫: Otherwise, what do you want?

@曲: Like this: /The other party throws a heart at you without saying a word/

@夏虫：……

Xia Yubing couldn't help curling the corner of his mouth, this guy is really... But Qu Hedong on the Internet is obviously more lively and funny than him in private.

@曲: /Poor Xixi/Is this how you hurt your dear roommate?

@夏虫: /The other party throws a heart at you without saying a word/

@夏虫: Is this okay?

@曲：/狗头/

Xia Yubing thought it was nothing at first, but after watching Qu Hedong's emoji for a long time, he actually felt his face was a little hot.

"Is it a classmate?" Mother Xia asked beside her.

Xia Yubing nodded upon hearing the words: "Yes, he ordered this takeaway."

Xia's mother said with emotion: "You young people are really good." But she is more or less happy that her son can have such a good friend now.Such a thing almost never happens.From childhood to adulthood, she has never seen anyone else besides Mo Erya, who has been around him for many years, and he always seems to be alone, no matter where he is.
