Jian Yao's face was pale, and some kind of fear came over him, causing him to fall into a blind panic.

He was pinching the phone at a loss, before he could think of a reaction, Jiang Zhao had already turned around and took the phone away, turned off the hands-free and put it to his ear, "Hello", and then gave him a comforting hug Then walked out.

This hug helped, Jian Yao stood stupidly at the kitchen door for a few seconds, and finally recovered, Jiang Zhao was calling not far away, Jian Yao was not interested in listening at all, so he simply walked into the kitchen and closed the door by the way. door to door.

The pork ribs were burning in the pot, Jian Yao picked up the spatula and turned it over twice, then stared at the bubbles that bulged up one after another in the pot in a daze.

The incident of being caught by Zhang Xuenian in the small shabby house almost became a shadow of his childhood. During the stressful period of the third year of high school, he couldn't sleep well. Every time the nightmare was about this, he often woke him up with fright. He met Zhang Xuenian a few times and didn't say a few words, but her appearance and voice were firmly engraved in his memory.

Jian Yao looked back at Jiang Zhao, Jiang Zhao looked very calm, he remembered that Jiang Zhao told him that Zhang Xuenian had seen a psychiatrist and cooperated with him in psychological counseling, and her tone was quite normal just now, it seems that there should be nothing serious .

Jian Yao comforted himself, sighed at the pot, he didn't know how long it would last, and was about to pick one up with a pair of chopsticks, when Jiang Zhao opened the kitchen door and walked in.

"What are you eating here?" Jiang Zhao asked.

Jian Yao retracted the chopsticks before touching the pot, and replied honestly, "I'll try to see if it's done."

Jiang Zhao glanced into the pot: "Wait a little longer."

Jian Yao said "Oh", stepped back to make room for Jiang Zhao, and asked after a moment of silence, "Why didn't you save your mother's phone number?"

"Too lazy to save." Jiang Zhao frowned, "She seldom contacts me now."

Jian Yao noticed that Jiang Zhao didn't want to go into details, so he didn't continue to dwell on it, but asked, "Then why did she ask you today?"

"Ask me about the exams two days ago." Jiang Zhao said, turned off the fire, turned around and put the dishes on the plate. Jian Yao was wondering why he was only asking about the exams two days ago, when he heard Jiang Zhao add another sentence in a flat tone, " Just tell me you're coming tomorrow."

Jian Yao: "..."

That's the point!

Jian Yao was shocked for a while, Jiang Zhao had already gone out with the food, he followed a few steps: "Does she know that it was me who answered the phone at the beginning?"

"Hmm." Jiang Zhao said, "I should have guessed it."

Jian Yao suddenly became a little nervous: "...Then how did she react?"

"Didn't you hear it just now?" Jiang Zhao put the dishes on the small table, sensed someone's nervousness, and raised his hand to rub his face, "Don't be afraid."

Jian Yao held that hand: "I'm not afraid."

I was a little flustered at first, but it was also a panic about what happened before. After calming down and thinking about it again, there is actually nothing to be afraid of.

There was no one else around him, even if Zhang Xuenian was still as strong as before, he could no longer threaten them.

Jian Yao recalled what Zhang Wenbin said when he signed the rent-refund contract. Later, he admitted a part of it when he went to university. He did meet many different people and experienced a life completely different from the past. University is no longer just about learning, but more It is the transition from a student to an adult, and there have been great changes in thinking.

But no matter how many people he met, how many rich lives he experienced, and how earth-shaking changes he experienced, his liking for Jiang Zhao did not change.

Now that he has finally caught this person again, he will never let go again.

Although Jian Yao firmly emphasized that he had no fear of Zhang Xuenian at all, when he learned that Zhang Xuenian had already boarded the plane, he still used the excuse of Zhou Xuanyi to ask him to have a good time, and he did not forget to stuff all the things he brought into the suitcase before leaving.

It was rare for Jiang Zhao not to take the opportunity to hurt others this time, and even hugged and kissed him before he left, making sure that he was not affected before letting him go.

After Jian Yao went out, he called Zhou Xuanyi, who answered the phone after two rings.

The job of introducing University A was handed over to Jiang Zhao, so Zhou Xuanyi called Jian Yao to University D, sat in the cafeteria after lunch and chatted for a while, then had nothing to do.

Jian Yao glanced at the time and complained: "It's only 02:30, I have to hang around for at least three and a half hours, you won't just let me sit here stupidly?"

Zhou Xuanyi was speechless: "I said that you wouldn't like to go to school with you."

"Is there anything good to do in your school, and I don't come to school." Jian Yao said naturally, "Even if you want to go shopping, you can ask Jiang Zhao to accompany me."

Zhou Xuanyi didn't want to talk. As a single dog, he couldn't understand the feeling of wanting to save everything and do it with her boyfriend.

He racked his brains to think about how to serve this extremely demanding master, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, and said in a closed manner:

"Let's go, take you somewhere."

Jiang Zhao estimated the time when Zhang Xuenian would arrive here, and went to the airport a little earlier.

When Zhang Xuenian told him that he was coming to City A, he didn't elaborate, and he didn't ask in detail. When she came out of the crowd, she found that she had dragged a suitcase and dressed up.

They haven't been in touch for a long time. Jiang Zhao occasionally received a few words from Zhang Xuenian on his mobile phone in the first two years when he was in college, but because he didn't reply very much, Zhang Xuenian didn't look for him again. The two of them learned more about the situation through Jiang Yuning. .

Although Jiang Yuning has been emphasizing that Zhang Xuenian's situation is much better, in Jiang Zhao's heart Zhang Xuenian is still that crazy woman trying to correct his orientation, so she is somewhat uneasy about her.

He walked up to take the suitcase without changing his expression, and asked coldly, "Where do you live?"

Zhang Xuenian's smile froze for a moment, and she gave a place name.

That place was close to a famous scenic spot in city A, and far away from the university town. Jiang Zhao didn't ask any more questions, and dragged his suitcase and went outside to stop the car in silence.

The two got into a taxi in silence, Jiang Zhao sat in the front, Zhang Xuenian sat alone in the back, and no one spoke.

On the contrary, the driver was very enthusiastic and often asked a few insignificant things, so the journey was not so dull.

"Are you here to play?"

"I'm here to play. My son is in college here. I'll drop by to see him." Zhang Xuenian replied with a smile. After speaking, he took a peek at Jiang Zhao through the mirror. Jiang Zhao kept looking down at his phone, Pointing fingers on the screen.

Zhang Xuenian glanced at the screen, saw a certain chat interface displayed on the screen, and looked away in a panic.

Of course she knew who Jiang Zhao was talking to.

But now she has no way to stop it, no power or position.

Yes, she still wanted to stop it. Although she was trying to convince herself to accept it, she still hoped that Jiang Zhao could become a "normal person" as she understood.

This kind of thinking has been with her for nearly 40 years, and it has long been deeply rooted. How could it be completely changed in a short period of time?

But when she called and heard the male voice different from Jiang Zhao, she had to admit that Jiang Zhao was completely out of her control.

The driver enthusiastically introduced several interesting attractions in City A, Zhang Xuenian replied politely, and arrived at the place soon.

Jiang Zhao was obedient in front of the navigator and porter, and kept silent all the way. When he entered the hotel, Jiang Zhao watched Zhang Xuenian unpack his luggage, stood at the door for a while, and finally said the second sentence: " I'm leaving."

Zhang Xuenian hurriedly said, "What are you in a hurry for? Come in and sit for a while."

Jiang Zhao hesitated for a long time, then walked in and found a bench to sit down.

He still didn't speak, quietly waiting for Zhang Xue to clear things up.

In fact, there is a lot to say, and he had thought about what to say when he came here, but after seeing Zhang Xuenian, he suddenly didn't want to say anything.

He has already told Zhang Xuenian his thoughts through actions, and it doesn't matter to him what Zhang Xuenian thinks, whether he accepts it or not.

"I made an appointment with some friends to play for a few days, but they haven't arrived yet." Zhang Xuenian said suddenly, "It's probably late at night when we come here, so we can have dinner together by then?"

Jiang Zhao shook his head: "I'll go back and eat."

Zhang Xuenian was stunned for a moment, and slowly lowered her head. She tried not to think about the deep meaning of this sentence, and continued to ask: "Then tomorrow? Do you want to come over, let's play here."

Jiang Zhao: "Not tomorrow either."

Zhang Xuenian smiled wryly: "Isn't it okay to just come out and spend time with mom all day?"

Jiang Zhao pursed his lips, lowered his head and swipe aimlessly on the phone twice: "He celebrates his birthday tomorrow."

There is no way to avoid it now.

Zhang Xuenian suddenly felt a little tired, or accepted the fact, closed his eyes and asked, "Is it still Jian Yao?"

Jiang Zhaodao: "Otherwise, who else would there be?"

Right.

Jiang Zhao and her have been against her for so many years, isn't it because of this person.

Zhang Xuenian thought of the time when he took Jiang Zhao to see a doctor, the doctor would ask the same question, and Jiang Zhao would give the same answer.

The doctor asked him, "Are you gay?"

He would always reply, "I don't know either."

He said: "It's just that the person I like is a boy."

"Then do you feel fascinated by girls? Is it possible to like a girl?"

"If he becomes a woman, I should like it too."

At that time, she should have admitted that Jiang Zhao and Jiang Yuning were not at all alike, even more like herself.

Just like when she came to City C alone, she plunged into love and struggled for more than 20 years without completely letting herself go.

She almost let her tragedy repeat itself on Jiang Zhao.

"I have no problem with graduate school and graduation. I should continue to study for a Ph. D. He will probably be with me." Jiang Zhao looked at Zhang Xuenian and asked her, "Isn't that what you call excellent?"

Zhang Xuenian was startled, and looked up at Jiang Zhao, only to realize that the person in front of him was different from before.

He has grown up and become an adult like her, and is no longer a child she can control at will.

She finally had a good memory of the child named Jian Yao. Although she had only met and said a few words a few times, and it had been so many years, she still remembered his appearance.

That is a very lively child, always with an optimistic smile, speaking a little stiff but very polite, and even looks very pleasing.

Why did she do something like threatening her parents at that time?

"Then...does his family know?" Zhang Xuenian observed Jiang Zhao's expression while talking, and saw that he was frowning, thinking that he might have misunderstood, and after thinking about it, he continued, "Your affairs can't be done. Keeping it a secret, let me meet his family, get to know each other, and help enlighten me..."

"You don't need to see me anymore." Jiang Zhao interrupted her, "I am the only one in his family now, if you accept, maybe there will be one more."

Jiang Zhao stayed with Zhang Xuenian until after four o'clock and left.

He talked to Zhang Xuenian about Jian Yao, but he didn't talk about it in detail. He tried his best to cover up his distress in a cold tone, and he didn't want to make this conversation about introducing his partner seem like he was trying to sell him badly.

But no matter what, what is certain is that Zhang Xuenian did not reject it anymore, she seemed quite willing to listen more. Before leaving, she also said that she wanted Jiang Zhao to bring Jian Yao over to have a meal together. Jiang Zhao thought about it yesterday when Jian Yao received a call The pitiful look of the rabbit was frightened, but he refused first.

But Jian Yao himself didn't know about it, and he didn't even know what he was doing at three o'clock, and there was no news. It wasn't until Jiang Zhao arrived at the community that he suddenly cheated on his body, dumped two pages of screenshots of his courier pickup code, and asked He helped pick it up on the way back.

The time card was quite accurate, Jiang Zhaozheng bought some vegetables and headed home. After receiving the news, he stood reluctantly for a while, then turned and went to the post station not far away.

When the post station brother threw out the third big bag, Jiang Zhao's expression cracked a little.

The little brother put the last carton in front of him after signing for it, and asked uncertainly, "Are you taking it by yourself?"

Jiang Zhao glanced at the three large packages and two paper boxes at his feet, and closed his eyes: "Yes."

The little brother suggested: "Is your home far away? Why don't you take some of it first and then get the rest."

"It's okay." Jiang Zhao put the vegetable bag aside, picked up the two paper boxes and shook them, feeling things bumping inside, probably not half the size of the real thing, so he raised his head and asked the little brother, " Do you have scissors?"

The little brother handed over the knife, Jiang Zhao opened the first box, saw a 2B pencil and an eraser lying inside, the corner of his mouth twitched, he really couldn't figure out the meaning of this person who bought this thing and traveled across mountains and rivers to send it here.

He angrily stuffed the pen into his pocket, and turned to open the remaining box.

As soon as he opened it, he saw a tube lying inside. At first glance, it looked a bit like facial cleanser. Jiang Zhao took it out suspiciously, and saw the order paper pressed underneath, with the Chinese name of this thing written on the paper.

Jiang Zhao: "..."
