Dear you

The rain outside the window did not know when it started, but it seemed that it would not stop for a while.

It's almost noon now, I haven't eaten much since last night, my stomach is empty, Su Wan dried her hair, opened the software and wanted to order a takeaway.

He can't cook, and the kitchen at home is purely for decoration.He looked around on the software, but couldn't find anything he particularly wanted to eat. Finally, he randomly found a nearby noodle shop and ordered a piece of Huajia Noodles.

While waiting for the takeaway, he poked open WeChat.

His father was probably mad at him, so he didn't send any more messages.As for Huo Li, it's because he didn't reply, the other party can't send another message.

It is not advisable to intervene in emotional matters.

Even the best friends are the same.

Su Wan slid her fingers down, skipping the messy group chats and official account notifications that were set as do not disturb. The last time the next friend communicated with him was a week ago.

There are hundreds of people on WeChat, but after looking around, I can't find anyone who can just chat.

Su Wan is actually a person who loves to play.

So did Shen Qiu.

The two of them met at the bar, because the friends on both sides drank too much and there was a conflict. Later, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Shen Qiu's friend insisted that he would pay for their table in order to make amends.

There are six or seven people on their side, the bill is not expensive, but it's embarrassing to ask people to pay the money for nothing. After a few back and forth, I don't know what to say, and finally Su Wan's friend made a final decision: "That's okay, just When you make friends, next time we will please."

Since it was said to be making friends, in order to show friendship, the people at the two tables simply put together a table and sat together.

Su Wan was not very well that day, she had a cold and dizziness, she didn't want to go out at first, but she was dragged out of the house by this group of cronies.He found a corner and sat down, his whole body was sleepy, everyone was chatting enthusiastically, and he was quiet as if he had fallen asleep.

It wasn't until the end of the show that someone mentioned adding WeChat, but Su Wan didn't think about it, and put her hand in her pocket as if it was nothing else.

After a while, everyone had almost added WeChat. Someone noticed him and raised his mobile phone and shouted: "Brother?"

Others also bought the list, and at this point, not adding WeChat seems to look down on them, and it may be another conflict.Su Wan didn't want to make trouble, and adding a WeChat account would not lose a piece of meat.

He slowly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, opened his friend's QR code, and handed it over for someone to scan. He didn't forget to make an excuse for himself, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I have a cold, and my reaction is slow."

"Cold? Then drink less." The other party didn't mind, but kindly cared.

Su Wan nodded, handed the phone out and turned it around, adding all the WeChat messages of the group before returning it to him.Including Shen Qiu's.

But he really didn't notice such a person that night.

It wasn't until later that the two parties had a few more drinking appointments and gradually became familiar with each other, that Su Wan was surprised to find out: Hey, the guy opposite is a bit handsome.

Just because of this, when we got together later, neither of them restrained each other.

It is natural to love to play.

There is no need to suppress yourself and put pressure on the other party.

This is what they agreed on.

But this fun is limited to going out with friends to drink and sing.

As soon as it touches on a matter of principle, it will not work.

After Su Wan ate the noodles, she still decided to go home.

With such a job as his, weekends and weekends are off, overtime is seldom, and the salary is also pitifully low. If it weren't for his father's thigh to hug him, he wouldn't be able to look cool at all.

Therefore, it doesn't hurt to be angry and talk back, it's him who really wants to make his father miserable.

What's more, it's boring to stay at home alone.

Su Wan went downstairs with the car keys, and packed the garbage with her.

The place where he lives is a little far from his home, not in the same direction.It was raining again, Su Wan turned on the wipers and controlled the speed of the car, not daring to drive too fast.

A bit of a traffic jam on weekends.

The usual four to 10-minute drive took Su Wan almost an hour to get home.

He has lived in this area since he was a child, his father Su Hongyuan started business early, and Su Wan actually doesn't have many memories of getting along with his father when he was a child.At that time, housing prices had not risen as much as now, so Su Hongyuan bought a small independent building here.

The location is not prosperous, but it is not biased.

Up to now, the houses in this area are still very popular.

Su Wan parked the car in the garage, flicked the car key with her index finger and entered the house.

His light gray slippers were neatly arranged in the shoe cabinet. He changed his shoes at the entrance. When the aunt came out of the kitchen and saw him, she called out pleasantly and affectionately: "Xiaowan."

Su Wan agreed and smiled at her: "Aunt Juan."

"Your dad said you're not coming back." Aunt Juan was obviously very happy, she walked around him and kept asking, "Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?"

"No need, I just had dinner." He walked in and glanced around the house, "Are you alone at home?"

"No, your dad is upstairs in the study, and your aunt has invited a friend to go out in the morning."

This aunt refers to Su Hongyuan's current wife, Su Wan's nominal stepmother.

But he kept calling auntie, and no one at home asked him to change his words, so he kept calling like that.

Su Wan glanced out the window and said, "Going out in this weather?"

"It seems that your aunt's friend rarely came back from other places and made an appointment to meet. The driver sent it, don't worry."

Su Wan said "Oh" and asked again: "My dad didn't go to work today?"

"I'm going on a business trip the day after tomorrow, so I'll be resting at home for the next two days." Aunt Juan said, "Do you want to go up and have a look?"

"No, no." Su Wan shook her head, and winked at her cleverly, "If you run in front of him, you will be scolded, so I'll just stay downstairs."

"You child." Aunt Juan patted him reproachfully. Seeing that he had finished asking all the members of the family about their itineraries, she asked again: "Do you really want something to eat?"

"I really don't want to eat it."

"That's all right, I'll go get ready and make a good meal for you in the evening. I feel thin again."

Aunt Juan muttered and went back to the kitchen.

Su Wan leaned on the sofa in the living room, watching her back gradually disappear from sight.His mother died of illness when he was very young.At that time, Su Hongwen's career had just started, and he was too busy to stay at home all day. Aunt Juan was with him at home. After so many years, as he grew up, the people who grew up with him gradually had gray hair.

Aunt Juan said she was working in his house, but she was already considered a relative.

Su Wan didn't want to go up to obstruct his father's eyes, but he didn't know if father and son were connected, after a while, his father came down by himself.

"Didn't you just say you won't come back?" Su Hongyuan took a seat opposite him with a serious face.

Su Wan had just started a game, and it hadn't officially started yet. He thought about it, quit the game, and replied unwillingly: "I'm going back to my own home, you don't care about me."

Su Hongyuan asked him to come back for dinner, and when he came back, he was not pleasing to the eye.

Su Wan felt that their personalities might not match, but luckily they didn't live together much, otherwise there would be no peace in the family.

Su Hongyuan snorted coldly and found fault in his words: "Do you still know this is your home? I haven't seen you come back for a month. Those who don't know think you have a million annual salary and a busy job."

This is the most naked insult, and Su Wan is not happy: "What's wrong with the annual salary of one million? What's wrong with the annual salary of less than one million? There are too many people in the world with annual salary of less than one million. What's the matter, people are not allowed to have dreams , work hard?"

"I don't know if there are others, and I don't care." Su Hongyuan glanced at him up and down, doubting, "Do you look like a person who has dreams and works hard?"

This question goes straight to the depths of the soul.

Seeing that the atmosphere became tense, Aunt Juan in the kitchen let out an "ouch" with a headache, and was about to come out to smooth things over, when the sound of an engine sounded outside the window at the right time.

Ruan Lan is back.

The two took a break for a while.

All eyes turned to the door.

Ruan Lan opened the door, carrying a lot of things in her hand, saw Su Wan sitting on the sofa, and said hello: "Xiao Wan is back."

There was no surprise in her tone, as if Su Wan didn't come back only once a month, but just returned home after work.

Su Wan said "um", politely called "Aunt Ruan", and stepped forward to carry her things.

Ruan Lan handed him the things in her hand, and said while lowering her head to change her shoes, "It's just right, I went shopping today and bought you a pair of shoes. I'll try to see if they fit later."

Su Wan lowered her eyes subconsciously, glanced at the handbag in her hand, and saw the logo of his favorite sports brand.

"Thank you, Aunt Ruan." He said happily.

Ruan Lan is a very gentle woman, no matter in character or appearance.

But being gentle doesn't mean being weak.

Su Wan actually liked her quite a bit, and was very comfortable getting along with her.

The shoes that Ruan Lan bought for him are new models that just came out, and the size is very suitable. As soon as he put them on, Ruan Lan praised: "It looks good, I said it suits you."

Su Wan herself liked it quite a bit, and thanked her again after trying on the shoes.

Ruan Lan was very thoughtful, went shopping once and bought gifts for everyone in the family, including Aunt Juan.

When eating at night, it was rare for Su Wan and Su Hongyuan to sit at the same table and have a harmonious atmosphere.Su Wan is not the picky eater, he occasionally deliberately makes Su Hongyuan unhappy.

The meal was satisfying, Su Wan highly praised Aunt Fanjuan's cooking skills, and sure enough she was smiling from ear to ear.

After the meal, Ruan Lan personally cut a plate of fruit and brought it over.

Su Wan forked an apple and handed it to Ruan Lan, and then forked another apple to eat.

Su Hongyuan guessed that he had something to say, so he didn't go upstairs after the meal and sat on the sofa all the time.Su Wan guessed it was aimed at him, and was unwilling to listen, but she couldn't walk away either.

Fortunately, just when Su Hongyuan was about to speak, a phone call came.He picked up his phone and got up to pick it up.

Su Wan paid attention to the movement from the corner of her eye, while eating fruit, she prayed in her heart that he would answer the call for a longer time.

As a result, things backfired.

Su Hongyuan came back quickly from the phone call, instead of sitting down, he asked him, "Are you okay tomorrow?"

Sure enough, Su Wan thought.

"what?"

"There will be guests at home at noon tomorrow, you stay at home for dinner, and help entertain me by the way."

What can I help entertain?

Just as Su Wan was about to reply, she was afraid of offending him. Tonight he was going to sleep at home, and it was inappropriate to see smoke everywhere.

This request was nothing, at most he stood quietly aside and said a few nice polite words.

After thinking about it, he agreed: "Okay."

Su Hongyuan was obviously surprised by his rare obedience, glanced at him, said nothing, went upstairs and entered the study.

The next day, Su Wan slept until nine o'clock, and was woken up by Su Hongyuan knocking on the door himself.

When he is not at work, he is used to staying up late to sleep, and it is common for him to sleep until the sun rises.But Su Hongyuan couldn't understand his style and forced him to get up.

"The guests will be here in a while, don't you even get out of bed?" His voice has a majestic effect, which is more refreshing than an alarm clock.

Su Wan reluctantly got up from the bed.

The guests came after ten o'clock. Su Wan waited for a while, almost squatting on the sofa, and when she saw someone coming, she rubbed her face and stood up.

He knew the person who came, Su Hongyuan's business partner, but he was only acquainted, not familiar.

The other party also brought his daughter with him.

They met each other and greeted each other. The other party looked at Su Wan and said with a smile: "I don't know if Xiao Wan still remembers Uncle, we have met several times."

Su Wan usually would not embarrass Su Hongwen to the outside world, he smiled politely: "Of course I remember."

Ruan Lan was helping Aunt Juan prepare lunch in the kitchen, Su Hongyuan had business to discuss, leaving Su Wan and the other party's daughter staring at each other in the living room.

It is well-known as: You are not willing to mix in the topics of us adults, only young people can play with young people.It just so happens that you are about the same age and should have common hobbies.

During dinner last night, Su Wan was still wondering what he would treat the guests at home, now she understands everything.

He looked at the loving eyes of the other party and thought to himself: We have different genders and different sexual orientations. We have never met before. What common hobbies can we have...

But it was several years ago that he came out to his family, and he didn't talk about this topic after that. I don't know if Su Hongyuan still remembers it, or he didn't take it seriously.Furthermore, even if Su Hongyuan doesn't remember, he can't let him recall it again in front of his partner.

Su Hongyuan and the others went upstairs, Su Wan had no choice but to show the etiquette for entertaining guests, and asked, "Do you want to eat some fruit?"

The other party looked like a gentle and quiet girl, and politely said with a juice: "No, thank you."

Su Wan nodded, completely speechless.After a long time, he choked out a sentence: "Then you can do whatever you want, you're welcome."

He had nothing to do, took out his phone, swiped left and right on the screen, and finally his eyes fell on the game.

He was wondering if it was polite to play a game in front of a guest, and when he looked up, he found that the other party was looking at him.

Su Wan:?

The girl was discovered, but she was generous. She said: "Actually, I have seen you."

Su Wan subconsciously said "Huh?"

The girl glanced in the direction of the kitchen and lowered her voice: "Last year in Qingyuan, the day your boyfriend confessed his love to you, I was there."

Su Wan said in her heart, "Damn it!"

If he remembers correctly, Qingyuan was opened by a certain friend of Shen Qiu, probably a gay.

The girl smiled embarrassedly and explained: "I have something to do, I just went there to find someone."

Su Wan said "Oh", thinking: You have to have something urgent to go to a gay bar to find someone.

In fact, Qingyuan didn't directly say that she was gay, but most of the people who went there were acquaintances or old customers, and everyone knew it in their hearts.

Su Wan didn't bother with this anymore, the girl whispered, "I thought you were a good match for your boyfriend at the time, and I even talked about it with my friends. As soon as I saw you, I recognized you."

Su Wan smiled, it's hard to say, the one you think is a good match for me has become my ex.

The girl was still recalling the scene she saw at the bar that day.

There was even some envy in her tone: "You and your boyfriend are both handsome, and I think your boyfriend is quite romantic."

Su Wan agrees with the first sentence, but after careful consideration of the latter sentence, he feels that this girl's definition of romance is a bit different from other people's.

He remembered that Shen Qiu didn't take any flowers or presents that day, his hands were empty, how could it be romantic?

Su Hongyuan and the others didn't go downstairs until eating Chinese food. Su Hongyuan's partner saw the two young people talking together, thinking they had a good conversation, and said with a smile that the two young people could see each other more in the future.

Su Wan raised her head and glanced at Su Hongyuan.

Su Hongyuan didn't look at him, but said with a smile: "Of course, having multiple friends is a good thing."

Su Wan shrugged.

After finishing the meal, they stayed for a while, and it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. Su Wan excused that she had something to do and had to leave first.

Aunt Juan called him to the kitchen and took out her handmade pastries, "I made these because you like them, and you take them for breakfast."

"No more." Su Wan didn't want to do anything, so she immediately refused: "I don't know how to do it, besides, I just want to come back if I want to eat."

"You can pull it down, who are you fooling, you don't look like someone who ran home just to eat some pastries." Aunt Juan unceremoniously dismantled him, packed it up and stuffed it into his hand, and took out the coaxing tea she used to coax him when she was a child. In a calm tone, he said: "It's very simple, just get up in the morning and steam it. It's unhealthy to eat takeaway all day long."

After all, it was a wishful thinking, so Su Wan took it, "That's fine, you can send me a WeChat message later and tell me how to do it."

Aunt Juan said yes.

Su Wan carried a bag of pastries, greeted the elders and left first.

His original plan was to drive directly back to the apartment, but he didn't wake up today and was sleepy early, so he wanted to go home and catch up on sleep.

Halfway through the car, the phone buzzed and vibrated. Su Wan was driving the car and glanced at it. It was a WeChat notification.

He ignored it at first, then the phone rang.

He glanced at the incoming call reminder, thought for a few seconds, and then swiped the screen with his hand, and turned on the speakerphone again.

"I didn't reply to the message, where are you?" asked the other side of the phone.

Su Wan simply replied with two words: "Drive."

"Where are you going?"

"Go home and have a meal."

"Oh." The man said, "I remember that the road over there from your house can lead directly to love, right?"

As soon as Su Wan heard the word "love", she became alert and said, "No."

"I've passed that fork in the road."

"How easy it is to turn around." He said it easily.

"Simple is simple." Su Wan smiled and said, "But I can't come today."

"how?"

"Sleepy, I urgently need to catch up on sleep. Besides, Huo Li and I drank hard the day before yesterday, and my stomach has been uncomfortable for the past two days, so I need to take care of it."

"The day before yesterday?" asked over there, "Are you in love?"

"No."

"Ok."

I thought this was over, but just as Su Wan was about to say the ending and hung up the phone, she suddenly said, "But you really have to come today."

Su Wan frowned.

"I didn't force you," said the person on the phone, "It's my birthday today, and I didn't call many people at first, so let's get together with some friends to save face?"

"It's okay to have an upset stomach, don't drink. Come and sit and support me."

Birthday.

It's not good to refuse.

Su Wan thought about what day it is today.

He never remembers other people's birthdays very much, saying that he has a poor memory.

"All right, happy birthday." He thought for a moment, agreed, and asked, "What time?"

"Seven o'clock in the evening? Although I'm already here, I'm going to have supper after drinking."

Su Wan glanced at the time on the phone, it was still early, and she could go back to sleep for a while.

"Then I'll come over later, you play your game, don't wait for me." Su Wan only planned to sit there for a while, and the meaning in her words was very clear.

There was no reluctance over there: "Okay."

The phone hangs up.

The weather has not been very good for the past two days. Although the rain has stopped today, the sky is still gloomy.

When Su Wan got home, she turned on her phone to watch.The wechat message on the road was also sent by today's birthday star. Su Wan transferred the account to him and said happy birthday.

After sending it out, he changed into pajamas and went to bed to catch up on sleep without waiting for the receipt reply.
