Start with "pro"

"Yu Ming, have you seen my blue bag?" Mama Zheng asked without raising her head as she flipped through the suitcase.

"Is your cosmetic bag?" Zheng Yuming helped her organize her shoes, recalled it, and said, "It's in the middle of the suitcase, next to the storage bag where the socks are placed. Take a look."

"Oh, I found it." Zheng's mother continued to rummage through the suitcase, "I haven't traveled far for a long time, and I always feel that I don't have enough luggage. Where's my hat?"

"Put it away." Zheng Yuming was very helpless, "Mom, it's the same when you go there and buy again. You don't need to bring so many clothes?"

Zheng's mother hugged the suitcase: "I like these sets of clothes. I don't want to go shopping when I go to Sydney."

"How is it possible?" Zheng's father fiddled with his camera and ID, complaining about his wife, "If you can really resist going shopping, I'll carry you to swim in the sea."

"Ha, who cares that you carry me to swim in the sea!" Zheng's mother glared at him, "I want to bask in the sun on the beach."

Zheng Yuming smiled: "Just bring your ID and wallet with you, don't worry about the rest."

"Son, don't you really want to go with us?" Zheng's mother acted like a baby to him, "How good would it be to go out as a family?"

"I've been working on the design of an art museum recently, and I can't leave." Zheng Yuming stroked his mother's hair and comforted her, "You and dad have fun, pay attention to your legs, don't be too playful."

"Okay, I'm walking beautifully now." Mama Zheng stood up, took the gorgeous wooden crutches that were specially customized beside her, leaned back in a charming pose, and raised her eyebrows, "I'm Retro Queen."

Father Zheng picked up the camera and clicked a picture, and praised: "Beautiful."

Mama Zheng moved her injured leg slowly, trying to make her movements appear natural and smooth, smiling and posing in various elegant poses.

After a year and a half of recuperation and rehabilitation, her legs have regained a slight feeling, which can support her to stand and move slowly for a short period of time. Although it is only a few minutes, it is enough to boost her confidence and get rid of depression.

The company once wanted to hire her to go back to be a dance teacher, but she refused.She has made great achievements in dance and brought out many outstanding students. Now, she just wants to be with her family, enjoy a happy life, and dance freely.Maybe one day she will be on the stage again, but she must be ready to return with the most gorgeous posture.

"Have you got your ticket?" Zheng Yuming checked with his parents, "If you pack it up, I'll take you to the airport."

"Almost, let's go."

Zheng Yuming helped carry the luggage into the car, and his father walked over holding his mother's hand, carrying his painting kit on his back.

"When will your design work end?" Dad Zheng asked his son, "I remember you have been following this project for three months? Why so long?"

"It's almost finalized, and I'm making final revisions. After all, it's the first time I try a project that combines architectural appearance and interior design, and it's a bit difficult." Zheng Yuming told them to fasten their seat belts, get in the car and start, "I helped James build the villa last time. The design has attracted many clients, and the boss hopes that I can continue to take on several villa design projects.”

"Sounds good." Zheng's mother said, "But you have been working for a long time, don't you plan to take a break?"

"I plan to rest for a while. You two have been to the world of two, of course I also took the opportunity to relax." Zheng Yuming laughed and teased his parents, "You can't always stay at work, you will get moldy."

"What I'm talking about is that you work all day except for class, it's too boring." Zheng's mother winked at him, "Why don't you find a place to relax too?"

Zheng Yuming smiled: "Oh? Dear Ms. Li, do you have any good suggestions?"

Zheng's mother looked in front of her eyes, and the light was about to turn red.So she suggested: "How about going back to China?"

Zheng Yuming stopped the car slowly, and the smile on his face froze for a moment.He calmed down for a moment, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Why did you remember to let me go back to China?"

The couple in the back seat looked at each other, and Dad Zheng said slowly, "Because you look like you need to go back."

When the green light came on, Zheng Yuming continued to drive the car, and said calmly, "Is there any?"

The couple did not speak again.

The rest of the trip became a bit dull.Zheng Yuming's attitude was somewhat unpredictable, and the couple did not dare to speak easily.

When they arrived at the airport, Zheng Yuming helped them change their boarding passes and told them to pay attention to safety.

The family has lived together for a year and a half, and their relationship has grown stronger and they have talked a lot more than before.Zheng's mother hugged her son and refused to let go: "What should I do, when I think of leaving you, I can't bear it."

Zheng Yuming patted her on the back and comforted her: "Call me every day."

Zheng's mother nodded, and tears welled up in her eyes from an angle he couldn't see.She knew what she was talking about, this was not an ordinary parting, and they might have been parting for a long time.

Father Zheng came over and hugged them together in his arms: "Okay, it's time to board the plane."

After hugging for a long time, they reluctantly parted. Father Zheng patted his son on the shoulder: "Take good care of yourself."

"Well, I will." Zheng Yuming nodded, jokingly, "Dad, this time you go out together, if you can't draw a good work, don't come to see me."

"Ha, how dare you look down on me?" Father Zheng clenched his fist and lightly punched him on the shoulder, the expression on his face calmed down, becoming gentle and deep, "Yu Ming, go back to China."

Zheng Yuming looked at him, pursed his lips tightly and did not speak.

"You've been with us for a long time..." Dad Zheng seldom touched the top of his son's head emotionally, but found that this gesture, which should have seemed intimate, was a little inconsistent because of their similar heights.He smiled bitterly, and finally felt the horror of time.He covered the dim light in his eyes and continued, "Your mother and I have always asked you a lot, but we didn't fulfill our parents' obligations very much, which made you feel wronged."

Zheng Yuming held his hand, shook his head and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? You and my mother are fine, but we are too busy. Look, don't we get along very well now?"

The couple shook their heads, feeling a little unbearable.What they actually know is that they are not qualified parents. They have too little care for their sons, too little company, but they demand a lot.They were too selfish, if Liu Qijun hadn't pointed it out, they would have deluded themselves into thinking that they took all this for granted.

"Go back to China, there are still people waiting for you." Zheng's mother held her son's hand, tenderly and pitifully, "We all want you to be happy, really. Yu Ming, Mom and Dad may not be good enough, but we really hope you can be happy .Go to him, don't let yourself regret it."

Zheng Yuming looked at his parents, his eyes shone brightly, but he was a little lonely: "I have no right to look back. After such a long time, he may have been with someone else."

"He won't." Zheng's mother said anxiously, and quickly calmed down. She caressed her son's face, raised her head slightly and stared into his eyes, and said softly, "You know he won't, you know him, you know him Will wait for you."

She embraced her son in her arms, patted him on the back, remembered the young man who was staring at her son from afar across the ocean, and said firmly: "Yu Ming, don't be afraid, you always know what you want, don't be afraid." Lie to yourself, don't lie to anyone, go for what you want, don't be afraid."

Father Zheng also stood by and looked at him, and said steadily, "Yu Ming, do you still remember what you told me back then?"

"You said you love him, you can't bear him, you finally met such a person..." Dad Zheng felt a little guilty, "You have done enough for us, you should think more about yourself, and... consider The one you love so much."

"He deserves it." Zheng's father said seriously, "This is the last chance we give you. Your mother and I mustered up a lot of courage to make such a decision. If you don't grasp it this time, we really You will not be given a second chance."

Zheng's mother glared at him: "Don't scare him!"

She turned her head and said to her son: "Although we really want to live with you all the time, but...we all know that this is actually... not the best for the three of us. Come on, son, mom I can wait to attend your wedding."

The radio was already urging the passengers. The couple took the luggage and gave him a big hug: "Goodbye Yuming, I hope you can officially introduce your boyfriend to us when we meet next time. Last time we I have already missed it, so I can't be hasty next time."

After a long time, Zheng Yuming gave a low "hmm" and waved to them: "Bon voyage."

He watched his parents turn around and leave, resisting their reluctance, and belatedly missed the warmth of the family hugging tightly just now.

He stretched out his hand, feeling the emptiness in his arms, and suddenly felt a little dazed.

I really want to see him.

There was a voice in my heart that kept saying that.

He turned sideways and looked at the sky outside the airport. The sky was blue and the sun was shining brightly.

It's almost midsummer, it must be hot in the country, right?

He sullenly revised the design drawing of the art museum in his hand and handed it to his boss for inspection. With the arrival of the finalized notification email, he decisively submitted his resignation letter, which stunned his boss and colleagues.He is an excellent designer, serious and rigorous, and has extraordinary talent. No one understands why he gave up such a good job.

The boss specially invited him to the office and asked him: "nico, what are you thinking? Why did you resign? Is the design office not paying well? Don't you like this job?"

"Of course not." Zheng Yuming shook his head in denial and said with a smile, "Actually, I like this place very much. I have learned a lot here, surpassing any of my previous jobs. But... because of some personal reasons, I can only leave gone."

"Personal reasons?" the boss was curious, "What is it? As far as I know, your parents have also stayed in the United States. Ah, let me guess, my sweetheart?"

Zheng Yuming smiled without saying a word, without denying it.

"Haha, sure enough." The boss guessed, "Love is always a curse that men cannot escape."

"There is someone, he is waiting for me to go back." Zheng Yuming paused, with a shy and reserved smile on his face, "I was not sure whether we could be together forever, now... I am still not sure, but …I miss him. I really, really… want to see him right away.”

"Him?" The boss raised his eyebrows, a little understanding and a little funny, "No wonder you are unmoved by so many people chasing you. It seems that he is really outstanding."

Zheng Yuming nodded with a smile and accepted his compliment.

The boss stood up and shook hands with him: "Well, I can refute other reasons, but I can't help this one. After all, I can't compensate you for a boyfriend. I hope you can get together smoothly."

"Thank you." Zheng Yuming shook back gratefully, and gave him a hug, "Thank you for your guidance and care for me during this time, thank you."

It was already late July when he settled the resignation matters and packed his luggage to go back to China.

He sat on the plane and looked at the clouds outside the window, thinking: Liu Qijun, I'm back.
