Chapter 28 Chapter 28
When they left the gate of the community, they saw the proprietress of the previous noodle shop again. She was moving the folding table to the door to prop it up.
Cheng Yin and Li Yu looked at each other in shock.
It has only been more than a month, and Aunt Yang has aged so much that even her body, which looked very healthy before, now looks a little stooped, with wrinkles and white temples.
A personnel change can change people so much.
Cheng Yin tugged at Li Yu's schoolbag, "Auntie's husband probably really hasn't come back."
"Well, I guess so." Li Yu withdrew his eyes and walked forward.No one knows better than he the full range of dire consequences that family mishaps can have.In those last years, he witnessed his father's weakness that easily surrendered to time, his vitality and vigor were pulled out of his body in an instant, and he aged abnormally like a dream.
"When I was in junior high school, my family was in a mess. I almost became a child of a single-parent family." Cheng Yin said suddenly, and Li Yu was a little surprised, "Uncle and aunt are so close?"
Cheng Yin smiled, "It's best to be the same forever?" He recalled seriously, and shook the hand of Li Yu's schoolbag back and forth.
"As you can probably see, my mother loves acting like a baby and is very dependent on others." Speaking of this, Cheng Yin casually complained, "My father is worried about going on a business trip, so take her with me. Leave poor little Cheng Yin behind." Just run away."
Li Yu looked at the poor little Cheng Yin, and felt that he did not treat him badly by making sandwiches for him.
Cheng Yin turned to look at him, "It's always been like this! When I say little Cheng Yin, I mean they were like this when I was a child, throwing me at a neighbor's house or sending me to a relative's house."
Seeing his angry look, Li Yu couldn't help laughing.
Cheng Yin went on to say: "Although my father loves me very much, he actually loves my mother very much and is very worried about her."
Cheng Yin thought for a while, "Maybe it's because my mother is too much like a little girl and needs someone to take care of her. I guess my father is a little too tired."
Li Yu listened carefully, and led him away with his schoolbag.
"When I was in the second year of middle school, one of my mother's little sisters told her that my father was very close to a woman, and she ran into her several times while shopping. My mother was crying at the time, and I didn't know what to do. Then I told my mother: "Mom, don't worry, if he really dares to cheat, I will beat him up, and then you two will divorce, I will tell you.'"
Cheng Yin paused, "Actually, I was in such a panic during that time. I skipped classes all day long to follow my dad, and I was really afraid that he would really do something to us."
Li Yu walked slowly and didn't speak.
He understood that Cheng Yin's family was happy now, but it was precisely because of happiness that he was even more afraid when recalling these things.
"I hope that everything is over once it's over, and it won't come back again, and it won't happen again." Cheng Yin said, stubbornly wanting to face the past.
"Yes. You are fine now." Li Yu said.
Cheng Yin looked at him deeply, "I want you to know that even if I have faced the danger of falling apart, I will still protect my family."
This sentence is not only his promise to his family, but also a veiled confession to Li Yu. He wants to tell Li Yu: Cheng Yin is a reliable person, a person who will protect him with all his might.
It's a pity that the following words are too heavy, Li Yu actually ignored the six words "I want you to know".
Li Yu said: "Then you tell me, and I will be the witness of your promise."
Cheng Yin smiled at him, "I was in adolescence at that time, and I was just full of blood. The stall was very annoying, fighting all day long, and I had to scold him if others looked at me twice."
Li Yu nodded, "He's quite vigorous."
Cheng Yin walked with her head buried, "Actually, I didn't really believe it at first. I guess it was probably my mother's little sister who was gossiping. Later, I followed up and found that my father and that aunt really have a good relationship. She is a university teacher, elegant and gentle. , not at all like my mother."
In fact, he was suffering for several months at that time, and his mother couldn't sleep well, and she kept crying behind her back.Ever since he found out that his father seemed to have a real relationship with that woman, he had been accompanied by great depression.
He didn't know what to do.The moment he knew about this, his mind went numb, and he was overwhelmed by a feeling of bewilderment, and he couldn't escape from this emotion until several months later.
His father has always been a kind and gentle man, he is considerate enough to his mother, and loves him in every possible way.
But how could he do that?
Cheng Yin wasn't sure if he had really cheated, or if he really had something with that woman.
But after witnessing the three private exchanges between the two, Cheng Yin was deeply afraid.It could be seen that the two of them had no deviant behavior, but just watching the two walking together from a distance made Cheng Yin's scalp tingle with fear.
The back view of the two walking together is too harmonious.
Although they were not very close together and kept a polite distance between men and women, the atmosphere was terrifying.
"I know my dad had nothing to do with her at that time. But I was afraid of falling in love with that woman. I was afraid that that woman would ruin my family."
Li Yu nodded, it was the scariest place on the edge of the boundary. "and after?"
Cheng Yin stopped where he was, "Then the two of them ended up."
Cheng Yin licked his lips, and said almost frightenedly: "They drank tea together once, I couldn't help it, rushed in and poured a cup of tea on my dad."
Li Yu patted him on the shoulder.
"Then my dad stood up and told the woman he was sorry they couldn't be friends anymore. My dad took me home after that and called out my mum and the three of us talked all night."
Cheng Yin tilted her head, "Actually, sometimes I wonder if what I did was right. At that time, their relationship was within the scope of normal friends. Maybe my dad will really fall in love with her, and then break up with my mom peacefully."
"But now the three of you are fine and trust each other." Li Yu said.
"Well," Cheng Yin glanced at him, "but maybe it's more suitable for him to sacrifice his family and love. Because at that time, they really didn't have anything. My father was very frank when he confessed to my mother. He said it was just pure love. Appreciate each other, without a trace of other emotions."
Cheng Yin gritted her teeth, "I don't believe it."
Cheng Yin looked up at Li Yu, "I don't know if my mother really believed it, or if she smiled and forgave her."
Li Yu felt uncomfortable when he saw him, and said dryly: "I don't know how to say it."
Only then did Cheng Yin's serious face soften slightly, "It's messed you up so much."
Li Yu lowered his head and smiled, "But now, do you trust him?"
Cheng Yin nodded emphatically, "I also said just now that the past will never happen again."
"Then don't worry about the past." Li Yu looked into his eyes, "I like Oscar Wilde's line 'Posey, if people tell you that the past is irreversible, don't believe it. Past, present and future, in the It's just a moment in God's eyes.' Since you believe you can protect your family, don't worry about the past."
Li Yu's voice was gentle and sincere, and Cheng Yin felt very comfortable in her heart, and asked casually: "Who is Posey he is talking about? Be so gentle to him."
"Oscar Wilde's Homosexuals."
fuck!
One stone stirred up thousands of waves, and Cheng Yin's heart was overwhelmed. Li Yu shouldn't object, right?He knows these things.
Cheng Yin asked cautiously: "They love each other very much? What do you think?"
Li Yu frowned, "Their relationship is very complicated. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as miserable."
Cheng Yin was a little disappointed, the couple failed to set a correct example for Li Yu.Fail no pass.
In fact, it was during that time that Cheng Yin's sexual orientation became clear.I don't know if it was because of his father's affairs that affected him or what, anyway, he realized that he would not like girls anymore.
But Li Yu.Alas, even though Cheng Yin told himself that he didn't care about the ending and would not force Li Yu, at this moment, he couldn't help feeling a little itchy.
Especially seeing Qin Lang and Fang Yuan's faces getting more and more red recently, and Cheng Yin's face getting darker.Now that Qin Lang is sitting next to him happily humming a song and doing homework, Cheng Yin is so jealous.To make the two of you happy, Cheng Yin wrote the questions on the paper fiercely with a pen, and finished all the final exams!
As soon as the handed out math paper was finished, Cheng Yin stretched out his left arm and put it on Li Yu's shoulder, "Lend me the math paper, and I'll check the answer."
Li Yu turned around and said in surprise: "You finished writing so quickly? I still have two big questions. I wrote the physics paper first."
Qin Lang hurriedly brought it up, "Fine with me."
Cheng Yin glared at him, his proud face was too irritating.Qin Lang touched his face innocently, "Why are you staring at me?"
Cheng Yin hugged him, lowered her head and whispered under the table: "Are you chasing her?"
"Of course." Qin Lang gave him a strange look, "What's wrong?"
Cheng Yin gritted his teeth, and asked in a heartbeat, "How did you chase after him?"
Even if you don't take measures, just make side-effects on the head office, right?It must make Li Yu feel a little bit.
Qin Lang was dumbfounded, and looked at him defensively, "Cheng Yin, she is already my girlfriend. Don't make any wrong decisions, can you be kind?"
Cheng Yin patted her over, "Who is interested in her?" Then patiently explained: "I want to know how to chase people."
Qin Lang said "Oh", and then smiled naively, "So you don't even know this. Isn't chasing girls something that boys instinctively do."
Cheng Xiaonian was bitter in his heart, and the girl who chased after girls could clearly say, who made me not like men?
Qin Lang's scalp became numb from Cheng Yin's gaze, "Then let me tell you quickly, don't take up too much of my time, I'm the one who wants to study hard with Qianqian."
Cheng Yin pursed her lips. Are you fucking addicted?He didn't discourage his enthusiasm, "Okay, let's talk."
Qin Lang's face was filled with unstoppable satisfaction, "Do you remember when I told you that I bet with my classmate on Pepsi and Coca-Cola?"
"Remember. Is it related?" Cheng Yin still remembered this silly thing.
Qin Lang smiled mysteriously, "I'm in the same training class as her. The time overlaps, we can meet each other often, and we are alumni, so we met. I think I like her very much, and I will give her Coke every day when I officially chase her. , Coke today and Pepsi exchange tomorrow, she asked me why I was like this, I told her the bet I made with my classmates, she smiled very happily, said she thought I was very interesting, and told me that she likes to drink Wangzai denim. Then I After that, I gave Wangzai milk, and when she finally confessed her love, she agreed very lightly."
Cheng Yin was speechless, and turned around, "Don't you have to take a heavy exam for your homework? Go and memorize your classical Chinese."
"Oh, yes. I can't talk to you for too long." Qin Lang quickly took out the reciting manual again.
Cheng Yin sighed silently.
On Wednesday, Cheng's parents and Cheng's mother went home, and Cheng Yin did not go to Li Yu's house.
Li Yu bumped into Xiaoyun and Aunt Liu just after saying goodbye to Cheng Yin at noon. Recently, Li Yu was preparing for the exam and Xiaoyun didn't come to play with him. He didn't see each other for two or three weeks, so Xiaoyun rushed over immediately.Li Yu knelt down and picked him up, and greeted Aunt Liu with a smile.
"Brother Xiao Yu, my father came back two weeks ago." Xiao Yun said excitedly, putting his arms around his neck.
Li Yu smiled at him, and politely asked Aunt Liu: "Is uncle in good health?"
Aunt Liu rubbed her hands in embarrassment, "It's pretty good." Then she knocked Xiaoyun down, "I'm so big that I still let my brother hug me. I've eaten so much fat recently, does my brother's hands hurt?"
Xiaoyun rubbed Li Yu's neck aggrievedly, "I haven't gained weight."
Li Yu patted him on the back, "Eat more and grow taller, only Gao Xiaofeng likes you."
Xiaoyun blushed, and whispered in his ear: "Xiaofeng also said that I am fat." After speaking, he broke free and jumped to the ground, "I will lose weight by walking more."
Seeing how close he was to Li Yu, Aunt Liu felt that Li Yu was a good boy, and she blamed herself, "Li Yu, I'm sorry I'm busy at home recently, and his father didn't invite you to dinner when he came back. Thanks to you , otherwise I would have no choice but to take Xiaoyun with me when I am busy with work."
Li Yu hurriedly said: "No, no. No trouble, I didn't do anything. As long as uncle recovers, you can relax now."
Aunt Liu said "yes", but her face was not very happy. Li Yu remembered Xiao Yun's story about her father's domestic violence, and she was not ashamed to speak again.
Aunt Liu took Xiaoyun to leave, and before leaving, she said to Li Yu, "I'll call him Dad on weekends, and I'll treat you to a meal."
Li Yu refused, he didn't think he was of much help, but Aunt Liu insisted, so Li Yu had no choice but to agree.
Cheng Yin has been drawing classical Chinese texts since the beginning of this semester, and has basically finished drawing by now.Except for the "Peacock Flying Southeast" which was taken away by Fang Yuan, everything else was clamped together with small clips, each piece had more than a dozen paintings, and there was a thick pile of them together.
In the last two Chinese classes of this afternoon, Cheng Yin recited the text while flipping through the paintings between classes. Looking at the paintings and recalling the descriptions was much more effective than reading a paragraph from the text and reciting a paragraph.
Just as he was shaking his head and talking a lot, the booklet in his hand was taken away.
Teacher Yang smiled and admired it for a long time. In the next class, he took his small picture album and told the students the ancient Chinese unit again. The classroom atmosphere changed from the dull atmosphere of paragraph by paragraph translation. .
Cheng Yin received a lot of extra care from Teacher Yang this semester, and was often called to the office to give him some advice. Teacher Yang reviewed the composition face to face, and was more meticulous and serious than his mother cared about his grades, and occasionally cared about his physical and mental health.
Looking at the way Teacher Yang is holding his small picture album and talking, I always feel that I can see a sense of pride in my child's success.
Cheng Yin touched his face, and thought to himself, is he really too talented, and Teacher Yang doesn't want his pearls and jades to be dusted, so he has to learn from each other and cultivate him?
Looking at Li Yu in the front row, I really feel that this reason is a bit far-fetched.
Now there are many teachers who are serious and responsible for doing their job well, and few of them are teaching and educating people, preaching and solving doubts, let alone a subject teacher.Ever since she was a child, she had never been cultivated with such care, and Cheng Yin did appreciate it and put in a lot of hard work.Although I still have no interest in Chinese, my learning initiative has increased a lot. The results of several exams have proved that it is not what it used to be, especially the midterm exam.
Cheng's father and Cheng's mother were even more delighted with this change.
Cheng Yin sat on the sofa after dinner, and Cheng's mother said to him: "Son, Mom brought you a present."
Cheng Ma held out a set of clothes and said with a smile: "Super cool long johns, a very trendy brand, we don't even have a store here."
"Long johns?" Cheng Yin frowned, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.
Who wears long johns for boys over 12 years old and under 20 years old?
Cheng's mother dragged out a branded bag from nowhere, pointed to the model on it and said, "Doesn't the guy who is a model wear long johns? How beautiful. If you refuse to wear them, it will only prove that you are ugly." Eyes slanted to him.
The European and American models in the photos are tall and fit, and they look full of power and beauty in long johns.
Cheng Yin had no choice but to admit that his mother really knew him, and the provocative method worked, so he couldn't afford to mess with his mother.
"Can I look good in it? You don't know how handsome your son is?"
Cheng Ma sneered, "If you don't wear clothes, you're a puppy."
"Mom, can you change the word? I don't want you to be a dog mother. My mother is so beautiful and delicate." Cheng Yin said doggy.
Cheng's mother patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "My son doesn't wear long johns, he's freezing, he's a bitch, he can't control his mischievous son."
Dad Cheng covered his mouth and sniggered. He was not happy to hear this, "Hey, you two are going to turn into dogs together? The head of the family hasn't said anything here."
The three of them laughed together, and Cheng's mother lay on Cheng Yin's shoulder, laughing until she burst into tears, "Hey, son, beat your father's shoulders. Please please him, lest he mess up your plan to become a dog."
Cheng Yin slammed the sofa hard, laughing so hard that he couldn't speak, "Hey, mom... Mom, I'm not a dog."
Cheng's father looked serious, cleared his throat, and said in conclusion: "Okay, my son must seriously wear long johns every day."
Cheng Ma: "Yes."
Cheng Yin was stunned for a moment, and said resignedly, "You can wear it as soon as you wear it, who is not a handsome guy who is so handsome that he can wear long johns."
I also remembered that my hair should be cut when it grows, so I said to his mother: "I want to change my hairstyle to a cooler one, to match my long johns, which is probably the only one among the boys in the school."
