you can only love me

"I know, I know." Patting my mom on the back, it was bitter to hear her say this.If I hadn't been self-willed and stubborn, and let go of my heart, maybe my mother would have embraced her grandson by now.I sadly thought, in fact, my mother's words were wrong. I am the same as my philandering father. I like young and beautiful girls in my bones.

"Mom, I'm hungry." I said to my mother, clutching my belly pitifully, I haven't eaten a bite since I got up in the morning.

"You kid always remember to eat." My mother wiped away her tears with a smile, and led me into the house.After putting everything away, let me wash my hands, and she went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

My mother likes stewed sea bass for me the most. She says it is very nourishing. Actually, I don't like that dish, it smells like traditional Chinese medicine, but because my mother has put so much effort into it, I have to pretend that I like it very much.

"Mom, enough is enough for me, you can eat it yourself."

"I'm an old lady, it's useless to supplement. You are young and eat more. You are always running outside, so you need to supplement more nutrition."

"What are you talking about? Your age is the right time to take supplements. I am young and take supplements. Remember to eat the health supplements I bought for you."

"Okay, who's the girl, you can't finish it, eat meat!"

"Tch, if you don't like to talk to me, forget it."

The phone in the shirt rang, I took it out and looked at it, and was about to answer it, my mother complained a few words, she didn't like people calling me during dinner, she thought it would affect my absorption, So very upset.I don't know where her theory came from, but people of the older generation, arguing is meaningless, so in the spirit of entertaining my mother, I obediently turned off the phone, and I planned to wait I'll call Du Mei back after dinner, anyway, she must be fine looking for me now.

"I want to get a haircut tonight." The old lady looked at me with a bowl in her hand and said.

Usually my mother tells me what she wants to do, and the implication is that she hopes that I will accompany me to complete this matter.She usually lives alone at home, guarding a clothing store, and doesn't like to walk around the neighborhood when she has nothing to do, so she doesn't have any old friends, and I have to wait for me to go home with her to do many things, such as I have to go with me when I go to the bank, go to the lower city, install some home appliances, or get my hair cut.So if I don't go home for a month, my mother must have saved up a lot of things and didn't do it, so I have to go home to see her often, otherwise the state of the old lady is really worrying.

"Okay, it's fine, it's up to you." I said without refusing any reasonable request from my mother.

"After cutting your hair, let's go to see a play, okay? In the evening, there are theater troupes in the town. You also liked to watch those operas when you were young."

"I like to watch it now, too."

The old lady blushed with joy, "We'll go to see it that night and buy you some roujiamo."

Roujiamo?Three black lines floated on my face, are those things that children like to eat?My mother still thinks I like it, so speechless.

The old lady was washing dishes in the kitchen. I called Du Mei from the balcony. I didn't know what she was busy with. The line was busy all the time. I made a few calls and didn't get through.My mother doesn't know about my smoking yet, so every time I go home and want to smoke, I have to go to the toilet in my bedroom, where I hide a set of smoke elimination equipment.

The phone rang again, and I was about to light a cigarette with a cigarette in my mouth. I glanced to see, Boss Du.Hehe, the code name I made up for Du Mei feels very appropriate.

"Hey busy man, what are you busy with? I couldn't get through to you just now." Tilting her head and lighting a cigarette, she looked at herself in the mirror narcissistically. She was quite handsome.

Du Mei's voice was full of emotions, "Why is the phone turned off?" She seemed very upset.

Although I know it's not very polite to turn off the phone, I really didn't think that she would be angry. In this regard, I really don't know how to pay attention to other people's emotions. Generally speaking, normal people will be angry.

"Isn't there something wrong?" I said with a laugh, "What were you up to just now, did you go home?"

"I've been calling you all the time." She answered my first question, and I immediately thought about the busy question.

"Oh, I was eating just now, and the old lady doesn't like me answering the phone while eating."

"Then you don't send a text message to tell me, so it's fun to make me worry?"

"Then I was wrong." I am used to admitting mistakes to others, but I insist on not changing my bad habits.The apology is just because it's easy to say. As for its value, you can also say it's worthless like shit.

"Don't turn off the phone in the future, okay. I will be very worried when I can't find you. If you don't want to answer the phone, you can send me a message. If you don't have time, just press it. I will know that you are busy, but it is Don't turn it off," she begged me.

The softest part of my heart seems to be touched by her just like this. The feeling she gives me seems to be very different from other women sometimes, but it is just a moment, and it won't last long.

"Okay, you've said that, I get it, then tell me obediently that you're home?"

"What's the point of going home? My family is not here. I'm here at the Capital Building."

Du Mei has a large cabinet on a certain floor of the Capital Building, which distributes her company's cosmetics.She has always been a person with a family background. The bar I went to is just a small part of her business, as well as cosmetics, jade accessories, and clothing companies. She has a hand in these industries, but I usually don't inquire about her. I won't tell me specifically, so I just know a rough idea.

"Are you going to see the sales today?"

Her voice sounded a little tired. "There are other things to deal with."

I can hear the very noisy environment over there. There are many people with different voices talking, probably in a shopping mall. The volume of her speech is too low, or the noise is too loud, and the voice reaching me is not Very clear, "Then you are busy, we will talk about it later."

"Are you busy now?" She seemed to find a quiet environment, and the clarity was much higher.

I shook the soot, "Well, I don't think there's anything wrong."

"I can't spend time with your girlfriend because I have nothing to do? Do you feel a little tired of being with me?" She found an excuse to sarcastically say to me.

"Not so fast." I stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the toilet, picked up a can of perfume on the sink and sprayed it on my body, tilting my head and thinking, "At least I don't feel that way now."

"...I hope you never will."

"Honey," I said with a cheeky grin. "And I hope I never will."

"I'm serious." She repeated emphatically.

I curled my lips and didn't want to answer.

After a while, she seemed to be compromising with herself, "When are you coming back?" Her voice revealed extreme helplessness towards me.

I smiled, wiped some water on my face, wiped off the water stains with my hands, and said, "Probably tomorrow evening, do you miss me?"

"I miss you!" Du Mei muttered in displeasure, and then said duplicity, "Why is it so late?"

"Shouldn't it take some time?" I teased Du Mei and fiddled for a while before I came out of the bathroom.When I came to the living room, I saw my mother hunched over and packing my luggage, so I went up to say hello to her and said to go out.

My mother and Du Mei asked questions almost at the same time, and they both opened their mouths to ask about my whereabouts.

I answered my mother at the same time on the phone, "Go and see my old classmates."

I went to elementary school and middle school in this town. Many old classmates live nearby. Some of them are good friends. They keep in touch with each other. Occasionally, I will visit them when I go home. To pass the time, but today is a bit special, I heard that Song Xiaole is back.

My mother was very relieved to let me go.

After closing the anti-theft door, I explained to Du Mei perfunctorily, "It's really some old classmates, why do I have to tell you their names, you may know all my friends."

Du Mei is very stubborn, and I am a little afraid of her in this regard.

I had no choice but to compromise, "The tension in high school, Hao Peng, don't you know them all?"

"Then you didn't say it just now? Explain to me how difficult it is?" She complained to me.

"It's just not in the habit." I slipped my feet into my boots, tied my shoelaces and went downstairs.I waved my hand to beckon a taxi in the endless stream of vehicles, and then answered Du Mei's series of questions, which I only remember as the last one.

"They were all good players in the basketball team before. Of course they are all men. Have you ever seen any women? Of course, I don't count."

"I know they are still single, but now that you are married, do you know how to be wise and protect yourself?"

"Sure, sure." I reported the address to the driver, and then continued to chat with Du Mei, "I am absolutely aware of my current situation. I have just entered the tiger's mouth. How could I enter the wolf's den again? I am not stupid."

Du Mei sneered twice and hung up the phone.

I put away my mobile phone and rolled the car window. Immediately, a strong smell of engine oil accompanied by smoke and dust rushed to my face. I couldn't avoid it but took a deep breath of stale air. The smell of the city was too suffocating.
