Chapter 81 Xiang Yu Dad, Mom, Thank You, And, Sorry
Chapter 81 Xiang Yu Dad, Mom, Thank You, And, Sorry
No one moved in the car.
Gu Chen and Xiang Yu sat in the back row, neither of them spoke first, the car was silent, like the calm before the storm.
Gu Chen Xiangyu looked at each other, there is no need to hide the matter at this point, it is better to confess directly.
Xiang Yu didn't seize the opportunity after making such a decision, and Sun Xiaoli was one step ahead of him.
"Name."
The tone was serious and oppressive, even though Sun Xiaoli had tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart.
But speaking out is like interrogating a prisoner.
"Gu Chen."
After Gu Chen answered, he didn't say much, and the car returned to silence again.
The car was still parked in the parking space, Sun Xiaoli looked ahead, and Xiang Yu tried to see her appearance from the rearview mirror, so as to figure out what the other party was thinking.
Unfortunately, it ended in failure.
Sun Xiaoli seemed to have thought about it for a long time, and finally picked up the thermos cup that was left beside her hand, unscrewed it, and took a sip.
He let out a long sigh, "Oh—"
When Sun Xiaoli sighed, Xiang Yu's nerves tensed up.
"When the family car drove into the living room in the morning, there was a small breakdown, and it was sent for repair." Sun Xiaoli said something irrelevant to the scene just now, her tone returned to a flat tone, as if nothing happened, "This is from a colleague on the night shift. The car will be returned tomorrow morning."
After finishing speaking, he started the car without waiting for the two children to speak.
Ask: "Where do you live?"
Gu Chen knew he was asking the question, so he answered truthfully: "Xinyuan."
Sun Xiaoli didn't know where Xinyuan was, so she opened the navigation.
Xiang Yu wanted to speak many times, but was stopped by Gu Chen.
Gu Chen said, "Auntie, I'll find Xiang Yu first."
As soon as the words came out, Xiang Yu looked at him flickeringly, his lips parted slightly to say something.
Gu Chen shook his head.
The small movements in the back row fell into Sun Xiaoli's eyes, and she hummed.
Gu Chen wanted to continue talking, but Sun Xiaoli didn't want to discuss this matter with him.
He asked casually, "What do your family members do?"
Gu Chen answered fluently: "My father is a professor of literature at X University, and my mother is a writer."
A scholarly family, a Kochi family.
Sun Xiaoli hummed, then was speechless again.
The car drove along with the navigation, and whenever Gu Chen wanted to clarify the matter, Sun Xiaoli would say something off topic before he could speak, and it happened every time.
After too many times, Gu Chen stopped talking, and stayed silent with Xiang Yu.
Sun Xiaoli's attitude and thinking at this time are a mystery.
Gu Chen couldn't figure out whether the other party didn't care, or was suppressing his emotions.
There is no flaw in the expression management and breathing rhythm.
When the car arrived at Xinyuan, Sun Xiaoli didn't drive in, and the car stopped on the side of the road.
"Foreign vehicles can't get in, so they are sent here."
Sun Xiaoli glanced at the time on her watch, it was past eight o'clock.
Seeing that Gu Chen hadn't moved, he said again: "Go home, we'll talk about other things later."
Gu Chen wanted to make it clear now, but just as he opened his mouth, someone tugged at his cuff.
Xiang Yu was silent all the way, and only now spoke.
She began to persuade: "You go back first." After finishing speaking, he handed the paper bag containing heart-shaped chocolates to Gu Chen.
"Okay." Gu Chen nodded, looked at Sun Xiaoli again, and said, "Goodbye, Auntie."
Sun Xiaoli said, "Goodbye."
After Gu Chen got out of the car, he turned his head in three steps. Everyone in the car saw it, but remained silent. Sun Xiaoli drove home,
Even though she and her son were the only ones in the car, they remained silent all the way.
Depressed atmosphere.
However, Sun Xiaoli turned on the car music for the first time, and felt noisy even after cutting several songs of different styles.
Ask: "Do you have any favorite songs?"
"No." Xiang Yu shook his head, and Sun Xiaoli turned off the music in the next second.
After a while, Sun Xiaoli asked suddenly, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
The tone is normal, and there is no emotion.
Xiang Yu answered truthfully: "I don't know."
Seeing her son being so honest, Sun Xiaoli thought of the past, with a gentle look on her brows, but when Xiang Yu looked at the rearview mirror of the car, she recovered.
Tenderness is fleeting.
Sun Xiaoli said: "I'm thinking, it's me and your father who don't care enough about you."
Xiang Yu shook his head again and said, "I am like this now, very good."
After that, there was an endless silence between the mother and the child, and the atmosphere of silence was not broken until the moment they returned home and opened the door.
When Grandma Hou heard the sound of the keys, she went to open the door to greet her. She was stunned when she saw Sun Xiaoli and Xiang Yu coming home together.
"Yo, why did you come back together today?" Grandma Hou watched Sun Xiaoli Xiangyu enter the door together, and even looked back, seeing that it was empty and there was no one else.
Ask Xiang Yu: "Xiao Yu, didn't you say that Xiao Chen is here for dinner?"
Grandma Hou cooked two more dishes than usual, and they were all Gu Chen's favorite.
Sun Xiaoli's appearance was too sudden, Xiang Yu forgot that Gu Chen came to eat at home, and guessed that Gu Chen also forgot about it.
"Ang." Xiang Yu told a half lie, "Something happened in the afternoon, so he went home first."
"There is something at home." Grandma Hou felt sorry, but she didn't say much, "Then tell Grandma and Xiaochen, don't worry, grandma will wait for him to come next time."
"it is good."
Sun Xiaoli helped to serve the rice, set the chopsticks, and said, "Wash your hands and eat."
Sun Xiaona and her husband were on vacation, and the family of three started cooking by themselves at home, so they didn't come over to eat.
There were four people around the dining table, and the atmosphere was the same as before. It couldn't be said to be happy, but it was harmonious.
Grandma Hou gave Xiang Yu a piece of fat fish belly, "Grandma cooks a lot, eat more at night."
"Xiaoli, handsome, eat more, especially Xiaoli." Grandma Hou picked up vegetables for the three of them in turn, and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for Sun Xiaoli, "I usually don't eat according to the order when I am busy, and I seem to have lost weight. "
"Thank you, Mom." Sun Xiaoli smiled, picked up a piece of soft stewed beef brisket, and put it in Grandma Hou's bowl: "You can eat it too."
The old man has poor digestion, and Grandma Hou eats less at night. After eating a piece of beef brisket, she stopped her chopsticks and watched Xiang Yu fill up half a bowl of rice, happily.
"Since Xiaoyu came to X City, he seems to have a better appetite than before." Grandma Hou said this and thanked Gu Chen, "I also have to thank Xiaochen, who probably supervises Xiaoyu a lot on weekdays."
Xiang Jun peeled a shrimp for each of the three, and said with a smile, "Why is that kid so good?"
Grandma Hou said, "Isn't that right, during the National Day, Xiaochen was always taking care of Xiaoyu."
Xiang Jun said with a smile: "Then next time, I must let him come to my house for a meal. I have to thank this kid."
Hearing this, Xiang Yu raised his head and glanced at Sun Xiaoli who was sitting across from her.
The other party was chewing the meal, without any fluctuations in expression, and remained silent.
After the meal, the whole family was doing their own things, and Xiang Yu was restless in the bedroom. He knew that this matter would not pass easily.
Sun Xiaoli will tell Xiang Jun, but not grandma Hou.
I don't know the old man's attitude towards this aspect, besides, Grandma Hou is old and can't stand stimulation.
Grandma Hou is like the weight to maintain the balance of this family.
She is indispensable on both sides.
After arriving home for so long, Gu Chen only sent him a message.
- Gu Chen: I'm here, don't be afraid.
Xiang Yu received it shortly after arriving home, and there is no new news other than that.
-Xiang Yu: I'm fine, don't worry.
The old man's biological clock has always been accurate. Grandma Hou has slept in past ten o'clock these past few days. Xiang Yu glanced at the time in the upper left corner of the phone, and it was already early ten o'clock.
Not surprisingly, Grandma Hou should be asleep by now.
Holding the phone, Xiang Yu watched the time increase by 1 minute.
'bang bang'
There was a knock on the door.
"Come to the study." Sun Xiaoli's voice came from outside the door, and the other party went to the study without staying outside after speaking.
Xiang Yu was wearing pajamas and put his phone in his pocket.
The light in the living room has been turned off, and the door of Grandma Hou's bedroom is closed tightly. There is no light coming out, and she seems to have fallen asleep.
Xiang Yu walked to the study room, the door was half-closed, just about to knock on the door, there was a voice from inside.
"come in."
This time it was Xiang Jun.
Xiang Yu walked into the study room and closed the door by the way to prevent the sound from waking up Grandma Hou.
There were two swivel chairs in front of the table, and Xiang Jun and Sun Xiaoli sat on them, at one side of the table.
Xiang Yu stood opposite, his hands drooping naturally on both sides, his head slightly lowered, he didn't look at his parents, he didn't speak, and waited quietly for the other party to speak first.
"Xiaoyu, I heard your mother just told me about you."
Over the past six months, Xiang Jun has met many homosexuals while living abroad.
He is non-discriminatory and respectful.
But if someone told him that his son was kissing another boy on the street, he still couldn't accept it.
"Xiaoyu, Dad doesn't know if it's because you're curious or..."
"It's not curiosity, I'm not that kind of person." Xiang Yu interrupted Xiang Jun to express his thoughts, "I like him."
"Then do you know what it means to like?" Xiang Jun was not annoyed when he was interrupted, but just asked him blindly, "Do you know what society thinks of 'people like you' in today's society? Do you know what you will face in the future? ?”
After finishing speaking, both father and son were silent. Xiang Jun was not the kind of rigid and stubborn parent, and neither was Sun Xiaoli.
While the two are pursuing their careers, they also have a part of the family in their hearts.
The couple supported most of their son's choices, but this time.
Unanimously chose to reserve opinions.
"Your mother and I have no objection to your falling in love, but the other party is a boy. Your decision now may be because young people can't distinguish the nature of the relationship. You are still young, and your future has infinite possibilities. Many of you have had same-sex partners when you were young. people will choose to marry and have children of the opposite sex later on.”
Xiang Jun sighed, and said earnestly, "Xiaoyu, this is not the right track."
Sun Xiaoli was silent for a long time, and when Xiang Jun said this, she also sighed and took up his words.
"Letting you separate now is also to reduce the detours you will take in the future...Xiao Yu, let's separate."
The couple did not choose to force it, but chose to persuade them.
It has always been like this. When people are oppressed by power, they will rise up to resist, but if they face sincere persuasion, their hearts cannot remain invincible.
"Dad, Mom." Xiang Yu said, and bowed deeply to the two, "I'm sorry."
The attitude was very clear, Xiang Jun and Sun Xiaoli looked at each other.
Sun Xiaoli changed her tone and said forcefully, "Then you have considered grandma..."
"Om - hum -"
The sudden vibration of the incoming call interrupted Sun Xiaoli's next speech.
The voice came from Xiang Yu's pocket. It's been this time, and the call is probably something important.
Xiang Yu still kept the posture of bending and bowing, just listening to Sun Xiaoli.
"You answer the phone first."
Xiang Yu straightened up, took out his mobile phone, and saw that it was Gu Chen.
As soon as it was connected, I heard the sound of panting from the other side of the phone.
"Hoohoo, my deskmate, open the door."
There was silence in the study room. Even though Xiang Yu's cell phone was not turned on, the two of them could still hear the content.
The husband and wife looked at each other, Xiang Yu's eyes moved slightly, he rushed out of the study with his mobile phone in his hand, and went to the entrance to open the door.
"At the same table." Gu Chen was panting outside the door, sweating profusely, his nervous face eased after seeing Xiang Yu, and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised, "I'm here."
Gu Chen asked Li Yifan about the specific address of Xiang Yu's house in advance, and then ran wildly on a small electric donkey, his hair was blown to mess by the wind, and when he got downstairs, the elevator was stuck on the upper floor and couldn't get down for a long time. Anxious, he simply climbed the stairs to the thirteenth floor.
The hair that was blown tousled by the wind was stuck together due to sweating, presenting a distinct shape, and a lot of broken hair stuck to Gu Chen's forehead, and because of the heat, Gu Chen unzipped the down jacket.
Xiang Yu looked at Gu Chen's embarrassing and funny appearance at this time, his eyes widened, his lips were tightly pursed, with an expression of whether to cry or to laugh.
Expression management is out of control.
"Let me go in first?" Gu Chen said softly, seeing Sun Xiaoli walking out of the room, he greeted with a smile, "Hello, Auntie."
The voice was not loud. He thought that Grandma Hou should be asleep at this time, and guessed that the family at the same table would not let the old man know about it, for fear that the loud noise would wake up Grandma Hou.
Sun Xiaoli's expression was not good-looking, but she didn't show any face to Gu Chen, and wrote lightly: "Come in."
There is one more person in the study than 3 minutes ago.
It turned out that the moods of the three people in the study quietly changed because of Gu Chen's arrival.
"I'm sorry, uncle and aunt." Gu Chen apologized, "I'm here to disturb you so late."
Xiang Jun asked, "Do your parents know you're coming?"
Gu Chen replied: "I know."
Sun Xiaoli asked: "Then do your parents know about you?"
Sun Xiaoli didn't say anything in front of Gu Chen. After all, she is not her own child, so she should be more reserved.
"Understood." Gu Chen said, "I confessed to my parents when I got home in the afternoon."
"Can they accept it?" Sun Xiaoli was very surprised.
"Hmm..." Gu Chen pondered for a moment, and said, "Well, maybe it was because of curiosity, maybe it was a whim, or maybe it was driven by sincerity. They have all asked me and told me how difficult the future is, but respect me The choice, this path is my choice."
Gu Chen stated: "Uncle and aunt, no matter what happens in the future, but I have chosen this path now, and I will go on." After finishing speaking, he looked at Xiang Yu beside him, "I don't know if Xiang Yu will change his mind in the future. , but I have the same idea."
Hearing what Gu Chen said, Xiang Yu looked into his eyes and said, "I won't."
What parents are most afraid of is a child like Gu Chen who is stubborn to the bottom, who believes in what is what, and expresses his opinion when he comes up, and no matter how hard he persuades him later, he will stick to his own ideas.
Xiang Jun and Sun Xiaoli can't help it. If Gu Chen's parents join them, there will be a turning point for this matter.
But in this situation, when both children are voluntary, it's really hard for them to say anything.
Sun Xiaoli also had the idea of transferring Xiang Yuban to another school, letting him study abroad, and letting the two live in two places, but the idea was snuffed out as soon as it was born.
She's not that kind of mother.
No matter how tough she is at work, no matter how tough she is, she can't use it on her children.
After chatting in the study for a long time, the couple took a step back for now.
However, we continue to have reservations about this matter, and we will make a final decision based on the actual situation of the two.
Although both of them are adults, they are both students after all, and everything is still focused on their studies. It is not allowed to delay the studies of both parties.
Knowing that this was Sun Xiaoli's biggest concession to Jun, Xiang Yu bowed again, "Dad, Mom, thank you."
Gu Chen also followed, "Uncle and aunt, thank you."
Sun Xiaoli and Xiang Jun were helpless and didn't know what to say, so they hummed.
It was almost twelve o'clock after the conversation, and the couple knew that Gu Chen came here by bicycle, so they were worried about letting the other party go home at this time, so they simply let Gu Chen stay overnight in the room where Li Yifan slept.
At this time, at Gu Chen's house, Jiang Linyan was sitting on the bedside reading a book, and checking her phone from time to time.
Gu Wenshi saw that she flipped through it two or three times a minute, and smiled, "Send a message to ask, you can't read the book like this."
Jiang Linyan was still angry with Gu Chen, she turned her phone upside down when she heard this, picked up the book and continued reading.
'Ding dong——'
The phone rang, Jiang Linyan clicked on it immediately, and was relieved to see the news.
Gu Wenshi observed her little expression, raised the corner of his mouth and asked her: "How is it?"
"Your son is safe, and the other parents are staying with him for the night." Jiang Linyan said, "It's good that the other parents didn't beat me up."
