Fall in love with summer flamingos

"Mom, I'm here to see you. Are you okay?"

Gu Shiye didn't know what to say, he just sat there curled up blankly, and then looked at the black and cold tombstone. It wouldn't talk to him, wouldn't smile at him, wouldn't hold him and wipe away his tears, and wouldn't smile at him again. He lowered his head and choked with sobs, his nose was sore and his eyes were about to burst into tears.

Mom, I really miss you... Do you miss me in heaven too? He smiled bitterly, wiped his nose, and continued to talk to himself, "You still hate me, hate my weakness... hate giving birth to me, or... hate that I didn't go with you...

He wiped the tears from his face and smiled again. "Mom, I met someone I really like, but I'm... so scared... I'm scared that I won't be able to protect him in the future... I'm scared that he'll get hurt. He's a very good person, the best person to me besides you... Mom, do you think I can protect him? I want to be with him forever... Mom, will you support me? He's... a boy...

Su Yangxia was watching the New Year's Eve party on the sofa, a little absent-minded. He picked up his phone, opened WeChat, and looked at the message that Gu Shiye sent him, saying that he would be very busy today.

What's Gu Shiye busy with? Is he with relatives? Or is he watching a gala with his dad and brother, so it's too late to reply? Why do I always feel like he's a little unhappy... It's past 10 o'clock and he still hasn't replied to my message. Is he waiting for his family to count down?

The more Su Yangxia thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss. He decided to give Gu Shiye a try by video chatting. He knew he would be upset if he didn't answer, so he picked up his phone and dialed the video. The call was connected in two seconds, and Gu Shiye's face appeared on the screen...

"Gu Shiye... why is it so dark over there? Are you in the car?" Su Yangxia asked.

"Well, I went out for something. How about you? Are you watching TV?" Gu Shiye replied.

Su Yangxia's expression when he looked at Gu Shiye was a little abnormal. It might be because the light in the car was too dim and he couldn't see clearly.

"Move your phone toward the car window so the streetlight outside can shine in. I can't even see your face."

Gu Shiye moved closer to the car window, then raised his phone again and looked at Su Yangxia with a smile. "Is this it? Is it clear?"

Su Yangxia leaned over to look at the screen, nodded, and said expressionlessly, "Well...it's better, but why are your eyes swollen?"

Gu Shiye raised his hand to rub his eyes, then cut the screen to his side and found that his eyes were a little swollen. Could it be that he had just cried for too long? However, he himself did not feel that he had shed too many tears. He looked at the screen and smiled and said, "It's not swollen. It may be due to the light at night, plus I didn't sleep well last night and drank a lot of water."

Su Yangxia narrowed her eyes and said with a look of complete disbelief, "Don't lie to me, I'll be angry. Did your dad scold you again?"

Gu Shiye nodded slowly. "Yeah, but it's okay. I came out to talk to my friends about where to go after you came. I'm on my way back now."

Su Yangxia nodded in relief after hearing him say this, and even raised his fist to punch the person on the screen. "Have you seen my Su family boxing skills if you lie to me again in the future?"

"Well, I see. I'm not afraid of being beaten, but I won't lie to you..." Gu Shiye said with a smile.

Su Yangxia snorted coldly and said, "It's like I'm going to domestically abuse you..."

Gu Shiye found his fake angry look very cute. "Well, if you dare to abuse me, I will lock you up..."

Su Yangxia was amused. "I can't tell, Gu Xiaoye... Why do you want me to be a canary? Can you afford to support me? I'm very difficult to support."

"Well... I will work hard to make money in the future and try to build a golden cage for you." Gu Shiye didn't care at all about the look cast from the taxi driver's rearview mirror.

Su Yangxia squinted her peach blossom eyes and looked at him. "Well... then you have to work hard! At least the size of a two-bedroom apartment, or I'll tear it down in a minute."

"Okay..." said Gu Shiye.

He felt like he always had endless things to talk about with Su Yangxia. No matter how dull or awkward his words were, or how off-key his jokes were, he could always pick up on them naturally and keep the conversation going, preventing him from getting stuck in a dull moment...

"Did your mother cook dinner tonight?" Gu Shiye asked.

"I made most of them, and my mother only made a few that didn't require any technical skills. Her cooking skills have long been deteriorating." Su Yangxia said.

"Why don't you watch TV anymore? Is the Spring Festival Gala not interesting?" Gu Shiye asked.

Su Yangxia lazily lay on the bed and looked at the screen. "How can the Spring Festival Gala be as good-looking as a handsome boyfriend? Are you almost home?"

Gu Shiye checked the time on his phone. He had about five or six minutes until he got home. He had to hang up the video call first. It would be very troublesome if Gu Shiye or his father was downstairs...

"Baby, I'm hanging up first. I'll be home soon. Can we talk after I finish washing up?" Gu Shiye said.

Su Yangxia glared at him through the screen. "It seems my warning is useless. I told you not to call me baby, but you still did it. You're really corny."

Gu Shiye smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry... I didn't call anyone else that. I just couldn't help it. I'll slowly change it.

"Forget it, it's up to you. If you dare to call someone else, you're done." Su Yangxia didn't want to argue with him about this issue, because he found that when Gu Shiye called him baby, he was very gentle and his voice was very nice. He enjoyed it very much, but he didn't want Gu Shiye to see it.

"Okay, then I'll hang up first and talk to you later." As soon as Gu Shiye finished saying this, Su Yangxia said okay and hung up.
