vanilla affair

【28】

After all, Gu Yuze seldom "part-time" in Ji Sheng's store, he can handle it freely, but Ji Sheng can't keep his face.If you don't go to the store to accompany him, then you have to hang around until six or seven o'clock and then drop by to pick him up.Gu Yuze always hoped that he would go home early, so the things in the store should naturally be left to the two clerks, why not squeeze out the money after the wages are paid?Gu Yuze said shamelessly, and was laughed at by Ji Sheng because of this, he was indeed a capitalist produced by the US emperor.

But you are my capitalist, and I am the working class with you.Gu Yuze hugged him and said.

How to say?

I have to be drained every night to be content.Not long after Gu Yuze was complacent, Ji Sheng grabbed his ears and made him do push-ups.

It was already very hot in G City in June. The students in the old campus managed to win the war of resistance and won the opportunity to install air conditioners in the dormitory building, but they were notified that the construction would only start during the summer vacation.As a result, the green and forested campus was filled with mourning again.

Gu Yuze also tried to minimize the time spent in daylight. If there was an early class, he would hide in the laboratory after class, and continue to teach students in the afternoon after lunch.Looking at the classrooms that are extremely full in summer, and the students who are desperately using the air conditioner after class, Gu Yuze suddenly felt very emotional. The one in the family who is three or four years older than these children actually caught a cold because of turning on the air conditioner for exercise. up.

It seems that you have to pull him to do push-ups together.

And the one who Gu Yuze was thinking about doing push-ups together was currently washing rice and cooking porridge while wrapping wontons.

Ji Sheng sniffed his congested nose uncomfortablely, and when he heard the phone ringing outside, he quickly pulled out the tissue still stuffed in his nostrils, and ran out to answer the phone.The moment Ji Sheng picked up the phone, he couldn't help but froze when he saw the name prompted on it.This seemed to be the first time that his father took the initiative to contact him.

He thought for a while, then answered the phone nervously: "...Dad?"

There was no immediate response from the other end of the phone, and the receiver seemed to be vacuumed, not even a trace of background sound was recorded.Ji Sheng didn't dare to call again, thinking it was his father's cell phone in his pocket, and unconsciously dialed the wrong number.

This is more normal, otherwise, why would Dad call himself for no reason?But Ji Sheng couldn't bear to hang up, it's okay if he didn't hear anything, at least it was his father's number dialed, and lying in the call log is also a rare gift.He whispered again: "Dad... Hey, I thought you really called me..."

"Otherwise? Do you think the ghost beat you?"

His father choked him suddenly, which shocked Ji Sheng a lot. Like a thief who stole candy, he almost pressed the off button in a panic.

"Are you in the store now?" Seeing that he was silent, Ji Chengjun filled the embarrassment by himself after a while, which was a rare surprise.

Ji Sheng finally came back to his senses: "No... at home..."

"Is this how you work in broad daylight? Do you really think of yourself as a big boss, waiting for someone to send money while lying down?"

"No, it's not... I have a cold..."

"You're a man, a cold is a big deal, so you'd be ashamed to skip work." Ji Chengjun was very serious, and Ji Sheng felt that if they were to face each other, he would definitely have to point his nose at him and give him a lesson.

"Well... what you said is that I will go to the store in the afternoon."

"Forget it, you'd better lie down. Last time I came back, I saw that you were as thin as a bamboo pole, so it's no wonder you got sick." Ji Chengjun said angrily, "Where is your home? I'm here on a business trip in G City, and I'll send you something there." , your grandma dried the vegetables herself, and there is some meat."

"what?!"

"Ah what! Send the address to my mobile phone!" After Ji Chengjun yelled, he hung up the phone decisively.

Ji Sheng was actually terrified of his father. After sending the address, he grabbed his phone and thought about it for a long time. It was not until the milk pot was overflowing with hot porridge that he screamed again and again, and he managed to finish his emotions, and sent Gu Yuze a message.

Ji Chengjun's movements were quick, and when the doorbell rang, Ji Sheng still felt nothing real, like a little bear who had never been able to eat honey suddenly fell into a honey pot.Ji Chengjun didn't let him help, and carried the box to the kitchen, and Ji Sheng had to follow behind him.

"It's nice that you live here." Ji Chengjun looked up and down the well-decorated house, and took the paper cup from his son. "The current landlord is really willing. How much is a month?"

"Uh..." Ji Sheng didn't know whether he should tell his father that this house was not actually the land he rented, and he lived here without spending a penny.

Ji Chengjun obviously misunderstood what he meant, and cast a cold look at Ji Sheng: "How much money is the same, do you still care about that?"

"You don't need money, this is Gu Yuze's house..." Ji Sheng could only say cautiously, his body had already moved half a meter away, ready to avoid his father's slap.

Ji Chengjun was still sighing with emotion one second ago, with that inexplicable sense of powerlessness that "my cabbage has been beaten by pigs"; but his face suddenly turned black the next second.What is Gu Yuze's house? If you don't need money, it's because someone rented it out? !Ji Chengjun's anger suddenly came to his head, and he stared at Ji Sheng wishing he could burn a hundred or eight holes in Ji Sheng.If his son says that he is in love with others on an equal footing, then he can get by, but now he can get a good place to live without spending a penny. From his point of view, as a man, it is the same as "falling in love with a woman requires the other party to spend money." "What's the difference? !He's a man who doesn't have macho complexes. For some reason, the current situation is even more difficult to accept than when he learned that his son was gay with a teacher and a student.

Ji Sheng couldn't understand his father's uncertain face, but they never got close, and basically they were in a state where the other party didn't say that we wouldn't return. He could only stare at the pattern on the carpet, unconsciously rubbing the handle of the water glass .

No matter how complex Ji Chengjun changed, he couldn't speak directly to his son. Their way of getting along could only be so rigid.Seeing the strange atmosphere between father and son, and seeing the warm decoration of the living room, he was too awkward to sit down.He felt a headache, stood up and put the cup on the coffee table, Ji Sheng followed up nervously, and said tremblingly: "Dad...do you want...go back? Do you want to...sit for a while, at noon have a meal together?"

"Forget it, the master is not at home, so it's strange to sit." Ji Chengjun waved his hand. "I'll make an appointment with an old friend later, don't send it off."

Ji Sheng stood at the entrance, either following or walking, and could only watch his father change his shoes.Ji Chengjun opened the door by himself, and when he turned around, he saw Ji Sheng standing in the middle of the hallway, at a loss.It seems to be the same aggrieved look that day when someone pointed and scolded him, but he returned to seven years ago in an instant.

After all, he is his own child, but he can't even ask "How are you doing?"They are too unfamiliar with father and son.Ji Chengjun smiled wryly, but finally couldn't bear to beckon Ji Sheng to come closer, and stuffed a card into his hand: "The money I saved for you before, the password is your birthday. You see if there is a suitable house, and if there is any Just buy one set, if it’s not enough, call your mother.”

"Dad, this is temporarily..."

"Take it. Who knows when the surname Gu will change his mind again? If he can't get married, he has to have some other security." Seeing that his son seemed to have something to say, Ji Chengjun interrupted him first: "I won't eat, I'll go back in the afternoon."

After all, Ji Chengjun pushed Ji Sheng into the room, closed the door for him, and entered the elevator like this.

After he got out of the elevator, he called out the phone that he had dug out from Xie Min's hands for a long time, and sent a text message to the other party.

The mobile phone on the podium vibrated, indicating that there was a message coming in. Gu Yuze took a look and found that it was an unfamiliar number.I planned to ignore it, but fortunately I wanted to lock the screen, but I accidentally pressed the wrong key, and the complete content of the text message jumped out.

"Mr. Gu, hello, I'm Ji Sheng's father, Ji Chengjun. Considering the nature of Mr. Gu's work, it's inconvenient to call and greet him directly. I don't know if you are free at noon, how about a meal?"

The moment after reading the text message, Gu Yuze's mind seemed to freeze suddenly, and the half-spoken sentence was stuck in his throat.He quickly dropped the students in a large classroom, let them read the 384-page material, discussed it at the front and back desks, and quickly slipped out with his mobile phone in his pocket to make a call back.

Ji Chengjun's tone was quite polite, and he couldn't hear any joy or anger, but he deliberately reminded him not to tell Ji Sheng about this matter.When Gu Yuze faced his father-in-law, he naturally liked everything. When he heard that Ji Chengjun would go to reserve a seat in advance, he was very embarrassed and said sorry.

Then the second half of the class was basically spent in a state of dual-tasking, most of the brain was calculating rapidly, what should I mention to see my father-in-law.

When Gu Yuze rushed over from the school, Ji Chengjun had already taken his place.This was the first time he saw Ji Sheng's father, which surprised him.In the past, Ji Sheng mentioned that what impressed him the most was his father's whipping when he accidentally came out of the closet. Gu Yuze felt that Ji Sheng's father was probably a man with a bad temper.

Now that I see it, it is still different.Although he is a businessman, he seems to be somewhat self-restrained in his gestures, and he is not an ordinary nouveau riche.Ji Sheng's appearance actually followed his father's, but Ji Chengjun was more detached and calm.Gu Yuze greeted him respectfully, Ji Chengjun treated him as politely as a customer, Gu Yuze somehow felt that he was satisfied that he didn't get angry and beat him for kidnapping his son.

"I heard from Ji Sheng that Mr. Gu teaches at S University?" Ji Chengjun asked.

"Uncle, don't call me Mr. Gu, just call me Xiao Gu, otherwise I really can't afford it." Gu Yuze said embarrassedly, "I am indeed a lecturer."

Ji Chengjun nodded: "Xiao Gu, I think Ji Sheng may have mentioned to you that the relationship between our father and son is not very close, and I basically don't want to care about his affairs. It's just that he is my son after all, and his temper I am still clear, there are some things I think I still need to understand and help him."

"I understand this. In fact, Ji Sheng has always missed you, but he doesn't know how to communicate with you. But don't worry, uncle, I will take good care of Ji Sheng."

Ji Chengjun glanced at him, and said calmly: "Your teacher is very easy to talk about running the train, I don't worry about it." This fallacy that came from nowhere gave Gu Yuze a knowing blow, and he was speechless.

"Ji Sheng was stupid enough to deceive a teacher into a wrong path before. Since he is determined to go this way, I don't want him to fall again."

"I heard from my aunt about this, and I understand the whole story." Gu Yuze put away his smile and said seriously. "Since you told me about this, Uncle, let me tell you frankly that I don't value reputation. It may be because of my education. I think it is my private life. I will and have the ability To protect it, and to ensure that it will not be affected by work."

Gu Yuze spoke seriously, and Ji Chengjun could hear the seriousness and sincerity in his words. He carefully looked at the man sitting across from him, and suddenly laughed at himself. He also wanted to dig out the other person's heart to see it before it would be a solid day. .

"Forget it, if you have conflicts in the future, if you still want to live with it, you can bear it, or come back and talk to the elders; if you don't want to pass it, then it's better to get together and break up. If you dare to bully him, I will dare to to deal with you."

The ugly words have already been said before, Gu Yuze can understand the helpless and distressed emotions of a father, which probably means that he recognizes their relationship.I think of Ji Sheng always saying that his father is awkward, but a man can do this for his son, respect his love and hate and his feelings that cannot be treated by outsiders, this is about a traditional "father" who can do it for his "son" The biggest concession made.

Gu Yuze nodded: "I know, uncle."
