impure

"It's Jeanne." Li Mu said.

Yue Renge let go of him—but this action was too obvious, and the effect was not good, but it had the opposite effect of trying to hide it.

"Mom?" Yue Renge stood up in a panic, while Jeanne was still wearing an apron, holding a bowl of snacks in her hand, with a blank expression.

She said nonchalantly, "I...I originally wanted to bring you some food."

"...How much have you seen?" Yue Renge calmed down, stood up and blocked Li Mu behind him.

This move stung her instantly.

How much did you watch?

The child Leo has always been a worry-free child.I slept so late in the morning, and my breakfast was not good. I took a glass of wine and disappeared.But a loving mother usually reprimands her son verbally. She knows that Leo is very busy, answering the phone all day long, and there is still time before lunch. Of course, she will not let him go hungry.

Yue Renge was in Li Mu's room.

It's nothing.

She opened the door quietly, intending to give the two children a little surprise, and saw that they were looking at something.Oh, Leo is in a meeting again. Jade said what is this called a video conference, Jeanne thought, this thing hurts people, doesn't it make people unable to really rest no matter what?

The two young people are next to each other, and they seem to have a good relationship. Jeanne knew that if the relationship was not good, she would not bring her home.Who didn't have a good friend when they were young?

Maybe, the good mother thought, she should wait.

After waiting, he saw everything that should be seen later.

Including that shocking kiss.

Jeanne stood at the door, seeing everything clearly.It was Leo who kissed him first, and the young man didn't refuse.It's not a superficial kiss, but a lingering entanglement of lips and tongue.She wasn't standing too close, and the angle was limited. The two people immersed in the kiss didn't even notice that someone was watching them.And Jeanne didn't react for a while, because within the scope of her knowledge, she had never seen such an intimate act between two men.

She didn't know whether she should stop or leave.And just when she was at a loss, Li Mu saw her.

...Jeanne really wanted to turn around and leave.

But Leo, a dead boy, still stood in front of Li Mu, as if he would hurt him.But he also asked how much she saw.

She suddenly realized that she might really not know this son at all.What she gave birth to, what she raised, now stands in front of him like a stranger.

"Let's eat something first." Jeanne took a deep breath, put the snacks on the table, turned and walked out the door.When he reached the stairs, he turned slightly sideways again, "Leo, wait for your father to come back tonight, let's have a good talk."

Jeanne went downstairs.After a while, Li Mu held Yue Renge's hand, "Leo..."

"Don't worry." Yue Renge himself had just recovered from the shock, but immediately went to comfort Li Mu, "My mother won't scold you." Although she didn't receive much education, she knew how to be polite.No matter what happened to Li Mu, he was also a guest.She will not lose her last decency in front of guests.

Besides, they are leaving tomorrow afternoon.

Only one day left!Yue Renge scratched his hair in annoyance, why he just couldn't help it?Persist until the last moment, so it's so late? !

"It's fine." Li Mu hugged him from behind, "It'll be fine."

"Yes." Yue Renge nodded, "I know."

Jeanne sat in the kitchen, buried her face in her hands, and the stew pot was overflowing with a strong aroma.Reason told her that now she should order some food for her husband who is busy in the fermentation workshop, but her hands were shaking and she couldn't move.The scene I saw just now flashed back frame by frame, like a movie.The look in Yue Renge's eyes made her startled.

This look is so similar, more than 30 years ago, I also looked at my father like this.

All relationships are for reunion, with the exception of parent-child relationships.The intimate connection that was given at birth will eventually lead to separation in the journey of life. Jeanne has always been very reluctant to admit this, even if she married far away to Burgundy, she still insisted on bringing her parents along - of course they gave up because they prefer Paris.

The Chinese are most particular about reunion, and like happy endings the most.She is the most faithful guardian of this concept.But she discovers to her dismay that she is not the center of the universe.

Sometimes she also feels that she is too selfish, the moon is full, and there is so much joy in the world, she just likes the reunion centered on her.She thought she was different from her father, but in fact they were still the same.

After all, people are selfish.

Jeanne thought distressedly that although she was rebellious when she was young, she was still within a reasonable range.After all, what is reasonable? Jeanne's heart is at war with man, Leo neither steals nor robs, starts his own business from scratch, and does not live comfortably on his own credit book; as for the young man he brought back... Jeanne thought, Leo would be fine if he was a girl!

All this was beyond Jeanne's expectations, but only she would be shocked and saddened by this incident.Because the Frenchman who was working hard in the fermentation workshop only knew whether the grape harvest this year was good or not.

"Mom?" Jade didn't know when he ran to the kitchen to probe his head, "What's wrong with you?"

Jeanne raised her face from her hands, "What are you doing here?"

"The stew pot is almost burnt." Jade frowned beautifully, "I feel something is wrong, so come and have a look."

It really is! Jeanne woke up suddenly, yelled "Ooooh", and quickly turned off the fire.There was a faint burnt aroma in the air.She quickly stirred the curry in the pot with a small shovel, Jade saw it and smiled, "Mom, when did our family start eating curry?"

Jeanne glanced at her daughter, "Your brother bought it, so it's cheaper than Aunt Jenny, who loves to chew her tongue? I didn't eat it before, but I will start eating it today."

Jade acted like a baby, "But I'm not used to it!"

"Let's make do with it today." Jeanne said flatly.

Dad was finally willing to come out of the workshop, and before he could change his clothes, he was dragged to the bedroom by his mother.Yue Renge was already ready to be trained, and even wanted to tie two knee pads on his knees, so that it would be more comfortable if he had to kneel or something.

"Your parents won't beat you, right?" Li Mu was worried, "How about I go with you."

"Don't make any trouble." Yue Renge didn't know what to do.Yes, my mother has a good impression of Li Mu, but that's for the guests.But now that Li Mu has been promoted to be the prospective son-in-law, it is completely different.

"You just stay in the house, or, wait for me in the vineyard. Go around." Yue Renge pinched his lover's face, "Don't worry, ouch, I'm negotiating with my parents, not going to die Come on, give brother a smile."

At this time, I was still in the mood to joke.Li Mu could only squeeze out a forced smile.If it weren't for being so good-looking, this smile would be worse than crying.

"I'm going." Yue Renge looked at his parents' room and made up his mind, just like a soldier rushing to the battlefield.

"I'm waiting for you."

Jean was at a loss, as soon as he came home, he was overwhelmed with news; and Jeanne was very conflicted, she really didn't know what attitude she should take towards her son.Yue Renge was not afraid of anything because he thought too much.Yes, stretching out the head and shrinking the head is also a knife, it is better to die calmly.

He observed quietly, but the atmosphere in front of him was still calm, and it might be a sign before the storm.

After a while, Jeanne spoke first.

"Leo, you have grown up. There are some things that we didn't want to talk about, because we were afraid that you would be unhappy if we did. I also think that you are old enough to have your own ideas, so I let you do it."

Yue Renge held his breath, his mother spoke French, and of course the accent was a bit heavy.He thought, the main reason was to make Dad understand.

"We have no objection to your making friends. Since you went out to study, we have been very worried about your inadvertent making friends. This time you brought an excellent friend like Li back home, so we are relieved." Dad according to the distribution of his wife , finished his lines, "But there are some things, we still want to remind you."

"To make friends, you must first respect others. Chinese people are reserved and don't know how to refuse. When you grow up in a family atmosphere like ours, you will naturally be more enthusiastic and outgoing than others. Li is a very good boy. I know Sometimes you may want to express a little...intimacy, but the boundaries need to be grasped, otherwise, it will cause trouble to others."

The more Yue Renge listened to it, the more he felt vague. It seemed that his mother had misunderstood that he and Li Mu were pure friends.And he took his own shameless to wipe other people's oil and water.This is so funny Mom, Li Mu also has a pure face, he is not reserved at all on the bed.

Seeing that Yue Renge didn't answer, Jeanne and her husband looked at each other, and then said: "I think...you should apologize to Li properly. As I said, if you are a friend, you should act like a friend. He doesn't understand , or dare not refuse, does not mean that you can always cause trouble to others..."

Yue Renge smiled, he vaguely understood what his parents meant.

Jean impatiently continued, "Your Uncle Finn's daughter just graduated from college this year. You met her before and she just came home yesterday. I think if you have time, you might as well go see—" Jeanne stomped hard Her husband kicked, and Jean's neck was stuck like a screaming chicken, and a scream was stuck in her throat.

It's too soon, Dad.

Yue Renge finally knew what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd in this conversation with Feng Xiaoyu.

This is pretending to be confused.

If Yue Renge admits that he and Li Mu are just ordinary friends, and that kiss was nothing more than him unilaterally molesting the little boy to cover up his sexual orientation, then the door of blind date, marriage and childbirth will be open to you.

All compromises start with little details.It's okay to meet girls; it turns into a date?I don't sleep with her.Oh, and getting engaged doesn't necessarily mean getting married.Marriage? It's just two people making do with each other. I have no love for her...

Everyone knows it, but everyone pretends to be confused.Don't so many people come here like this?Go with the flow with a well-known secret, deceiving yourself and others.But is this fair to me?Is it fair to that girl?

In the end nothing was cheated.

A hypocritical life, a life without self in service to others, is not worth living.

Jeanne was sure that he didn't want to mention it directly, and there was still a satisfied smile on his face.She thought the conversation was a surefire one.

Yue Renge thought, he can't back down anymore, he has to face it.Otherwise, he will lose his right to speak forever.

He sneered.

"I think you probably misunderstood." He said with a sharp edge, coldly cutting the ambiguous air woven with family affection in front of him, "I don't need to apologize to Li Mu."

"Mom and Dad, he is my lover, we are in love. Yes, as you think, Iamadamngay."
