When he got to the door, he retreated. Lin Chu himself knew it was impossible, so he really didn't go in. Cheng Wanqiu would not leave him outside the door. They all came. Seeing that Grandma Cheng was a certainty, there was no room for regrets.

Cheng Wanqiu held his hand steadily and forcefully, he didn't pull him because Lin Chu stopped, but stopped with him, turned around and looked at him, "Taotao, believe me, with me here, grandma won't The one who bullies you, she is a person who cares about face, and will not allow herself to bully a junior."

Lin Chu pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, "It's not that I don't believe you, I just...I always feel sorry for your grandma, and dare not look her in the eye."

The old man's eyes full of disappointment and resentment are terrifying, the kind of lethality and impact that ordinary people can't bear.

"You didn't feel sorry for her. I'm gay. With or without you, she couldn't hold her great-grandson." Cheng Wanqiu said seriously.

The expression on Lin Chu's face was disturbed and complicated, and he didn't want to appear so timid and dare not face it, but the morning they were driven out of the house, the unprecedentedly strong Grandma Cheng still cast a shadow over Lin Chu's heart, so that Even the door in front of me didn't dare to go in.

Cheng Wanqiu looked at him tenderly, "Taotao, if you really don't want to go in, then let's go home."

Lin Chu pursed his lips and looked at him, "Then she won't be able to eat the fresh meat mooncakes I specially made for Grandma Cheng."

Cheng Wanqiu nodded.

Lin Chu showed hesitation. He had been busy for a whole day to make fresh meat mooncakes. Although I am sorry to say this to Uncle Wang and the uncle at the commissary, the fresh meat mooncakes they received were actually not so good-looking, because Among all the freshly baked mooncakes that day, he picked out the most beautiful ones and packed them into boxes for Grandma Cheng.

If he didn't go in, all the things he had prepared for it would be in vain.

Lin Chu was silent for a long while, the uneasiness and tension on his face faded little by little, he is not a cowardly person, there is only one thing in this world that can make him collapse, and everything else is actually nothing to be afraid of .

What's more, at this moment, Cheng Wanqiu is by his side.

Lin Chu looked down at the hands he and Cheng Wanqiu held tightly together, and slowly let out a breath, "I'm fine, brother, let's go in."

With an approving smile on Cheng Wanqiu's face, she leaned over to touch Lin Chu's soft lips, kissing her tenderly and passionately.

When the two stood at a distance of only four or five meters from the gate of Cheng's house, they were inseparably kissed, and an awkward cough interrupted them.

Cheng Wanqiu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw his aunt Cheng Qinqin standing in the gate, her expression was very embarrassed, her cheeks were still a little red, she didn't look at them, left a word to come in quickly, then turned and left in a hurry.

Lin Chu's face also turned red. How could he have imagined that one day his elders would see them kissing. It was so embarrassing that he almost lost all his courage when he got together.

Cheng Wanqiu lowered her head and smiled, then took Lin Chu's hand and walked through the door of Cheng's house.

When they walked through the hanging flower door and saw two girls, one big and one small squatting beside the water lily pond in the yard, both of them were stunned.

The little one heard the sound of them coming in, and turned around to reveal a fair and delicate face. This is a very beautiful little girl, wearing a small white dress with lace puff sleeves and a light blue print on the skirt. Butterflies, long soft hair combed neatly, and a big light blue bow tied.

When she saw Cheng Wanqiu, her big eyes lit up, and she called out to her brother in a childlike voice, then got up and ran towards Cheng Wanqiu, with small steps, opened her arms and rushed to hug Cheng Wanqiu's thigh, Looking up at Cheng Wanqiu, her big eyes smiled like crescent moons.

Cheng Wanqiu handed the things in his hand to Lin Chu, leaned over to pick up the little girl, tilted his head and kissed her on the cheek, "Xinxin, do you miss your brother?"

Xinxin hugged Cheng Wanqiu's neck tightly, and leaned over to kiss him on the cheek, "Think! Brother, why don't you live with grandma? I thought I would see brother as soon as I came to grandma's house, but mother said you and grandma friends together."

Xin Xin looked at the person standing beside Cheng Wanqiu with twinkling eyes and curiosity after speaking, "Brother's friend?"

Cheng Wanqiu smiled, "He is the most important person to my brother, Xinxin can call him Brother Xiaochu."

Xinxin cried out obediently.

Lin Chu nodded, "Hi Xinxin."

Cheng Wanqiu bent down to put Xinxin down, and looked up at the girl who was still standing by the water lily pond. She was a little older than Xinxin, and she also wore a dress of the same style as Xinxin's, with a pretty face.

"Are you quiet?" Cheng Wanqiu looked at her with a smile on his face.

Cheng Jingshu nodded shyly, and called her brother obediently.

This was the first time Cheng Wanqiu saw Aunt Cheng's second daughter. When he went to his aunt's house before, Jing Jing was still at school. She is now a freshman in high school and has a heavy workload. If it wasn't for school holidays, she would not come back.

Xinxin is still a little girl who likes to act like a baby, she is like Cheng Wanqiu's leg pendant, since he appeared, she has tightly hugged his leg and refused to let go.

Cheng Wanqiu had no choice but to hug the little man who was holding his leg again, freed up one hand to hold Lin Chu, and said to Cheng Jingshu, "Go back to the room and be quiet."

In the living room, Grandma Cheng was sitting on the sofa watching TV. She had heard the commotion in the yard long ago, and knew that Cheng Wanqiu and Lin Chu had arrived, but she didn't move, she didn't even look at them, she just kept quiet watching his TV.

Cheng Wanqiu looked at the thin Grandma Cheng with complicated eyes, but after a while, Grandma Cheng lost a lot of weight, her cheeks were gone, and her shoulders were so thin that it seemed that only bones were supporting a dignified cheongsam.

Lin Chu was suffocated by the shock of Grandma Cheng like this.

"Xinxin, come to grandma."

Cheng Wanqiu leaned over and put down Xinxin in his arms. As soon as Xinxin's feet touched the ground, she ran towards Grandma Cheng, and threw herself on the old man's lap intimately, "Grandma, brother is here!"

Grandma Cheng hummed, and wrapped her arms around Xinxin, as if she had found something to support her.

Cheng Wanqiu's eyes dimmed, "Grandma, why are you doing this?"

Grandma Cheng didn't look at him, her old eyes were cloudy but full of energy, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the children are all here. I won't tell you anything unpleasant, so let's go after dinner."

Cheng Wanqiu nodded silently, looked back at Lin Chu, and took his hand with some strength.

Lin Chu let out a breath slowly, let go of Cheng Wanqiu's hand and went forward with the bag, took out their custom-made moon cake box from the bag, the dark red box was printed with the bright moon and the jade rabbit.

Lin Chu held the mooncake box with both hands and put it on the coffee table, gently pushed it in front of Grandma Cheng, opened the box to reveal a beautifully baked mooncake, and said softly, "Grandma Cheng, this is a fresh meat mooncake made by me , I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival."

Grandma Cheng didn't respond at first, but when she heard the three words "made by hand", there was still a wave of turmoil in her eyes.

Lin Chu took out the tea set and scented tea from the bag, as well as the boxed sweet-scented osmanthus cake and pea yellow, "Grandma, these are also me..."

"Okay, you don't need to say anything."

Grandma Cheng interrupted Lin Chu lightly.

Lin Chu paused, then got up quietly and walked back to Cheng Wanqiu.

Xinxin was held in Grandma Cheng's arms. She didn't understand what happened between adults, but she could feel the strange atmosphere. She looked up at Grandma Cheng's face, "Grandma, can Xinxin eat?"

Grandma Cheng's face suddenly became complicated, "Xinxin can eat whatever she wants."

Xinxin threw herself on the coffee table happily when she heard this, and took out a piece of fresh meat mooncake from the opened mooncake box.

She is a very polite and well-educated little girl. She never thinks only about herself when eating. She will give to the elders first when they are present. If there are children younger than her present, she will give to the younger children first. .

Cheng Wanqiu and Lin Chu watched as Xinxin picked up a fresh meat mooncake, turned around and handed it to Grandma Cheng, "Grandma eats."

After distributing to Grandma Cheng, she picked up two more pieces and handed them to Cheng Wanqiu and Lin Chu respectively, then the little figure hurried back to the mooncake box to pick up two more pieces, and gave one piece to her sister Cheng Jingshu who was standing by. She ran to the yard and went to the kitchen to find her mother.

Xinxin is like a happy little mooncake messenger, busy distributing mooncakes to her family members.

Lin Chu held the fresh meat mooncake that Xinxin gave him, and he didn't want to eat it or not. He was in a dilemma, and Cheng Wanqiu, who was standing beside him, had silently bit the mooncake in his hand.

The meringue mooncakes are filled with horseshoe meat fillings, and the meat balls inside are soft and delicious, with a hint of sweetness.

When Lin Chu was still in the experimental stage, he made a lot of fresh meat mooncakes that were not successful. Cheng Wanqiu had eaten a lot of them, and the one he is eating now is undoubtedly the best and most successful since Lin Chu has been working hard for so long. fresh meat mooncakes.

From the meringue on the surface to the bread inside to the meat stuffing, everything is perfect.

Cheng Wanqiu said to Lin Chu after eating the mooncake in his hand, "It's very delicious."

Cheng Jingshu, who was standing quietly by the side, also finished eating the fresh meat mooncakes given to her by her younger sister, and she echoed Cheng Wanqiu's words in a soft voice, "It's really delicious, Brother Xiaochu's cooking skills are really good."

Lin Chu looked back at her in surprise, "...Thank you."

Cheng Jingshu smiled even more shyly, quietly like a budding flower.

Grandma Cheng put the fresh meat mooncakes back into the mooncake box. She was as stubborn as a human-shaped rock and was not infected by them.

As Cheng Wanqiu said, she will not waste food, she does not want and will not destroy what Lin Chu sent, the only thing she can do now is to ignore it.

She ignored the relationship between Cheng Wanqiu and Lin Chu, ignored Lin Chu's flattery and devotion, she ignored everything that made her uncomfortable and unacceptable. Of course she couldn't separate these two people, but as Cheng Wanqiu's Grandma, as long as she doesn't nod, agree or accept for a day, these two people can't really be together with peace of mind, because the relationship between them is not recognized by the family.

Family members, after all, are different from anyone else, they are close relatives connected by blood, they may not care about the world, but they have no way not to care about their family members.

In the evening, Cheng Qinqin prepared a large table of dishes, including plump hairy crabs piled in the pot, braised pork ribs with an attractive color, steamed sea bass delicious and delicious, golden chicken soup with a few bulging shiitake mushrooms and red dates, and a large plate of dishes for young and old. Boiled shrimp for everyone.

Cheng Qinqin obviously put a lot of thought into this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. She filled a bowl of chicken soup for everyone present. There were only two chicken legs in the chicken soup. She gave one to Grandma Cheng and the other to her. Lin Chu.

Grandma Cheng used chopsticks to put the chicken legs in the bowl into Xinxin's bowl, while Lin Chu changed her soup bowl and Jing Jing's soup bowl before everyone moved their chopsticks, and put the bowl with chicken legs gave her.

Cheng Qinqin was not surprised that Lin Chu would do this. He took the chicken wings out of the pot and put them in his bowl, "Today is the holiday, eat more."

Lin Chu hummed and said thank you, aunt.

Cheng Wanqiu asked curiously: "Why didn't uncle come?"

"He went back to open the shop after sending the children here in the morning. I'll take the children home tomorrow." Cheng Qinqin paused when he said this, "Mom will go with us."

When Cheng Wanqiu heard this, she immediately turned her head to look at Grandma Cheng who was sandwiching ribs for Xinxin, and said nothing.

Under normal circumstances, Grandma Cheng would not leave this ancestral home of the Cheng family. This is her home. She has been here since she was a young and beautiful bride to now with white hair. She seldom leaves here when she has nothing to do. , like a rich lady in ancient times who didn't leave the door.

But now she is willing to go with Cheng Qinqin and the others after the Mid-Autumn Festival, presumably because Cheng Wanqiu broke her heart, but for the sake of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she still hopes that the family can have a good meal.

Lin Chu loves to eat seafood, especially shrimps and crabs, but his hands are not dexterous and he is not good at peeling them. Cheng Wanqiu has to help him eat crabs. All the crab meat was put in Lin Chu's bowl.

From time to time, Cheng Qinqin's eyes would fall on the two of them, feeling relieved that they had a good relationship but at the same time complicated by their good relationship.

The chubby little princess Xinxin was struggling to peel the shrimp shells, put the peeled shrimp meat into Grandma Cheng's bowl, and said childishly, "Grandma, eat more."

She is a very well-behaved and sensible child. She knows that her grandma is unhappy. Although she doesn't know why, she has been trying her best to coax her grandma to hope that she can be happier.

Grandma Cheng allowed Cheng Wanqiu to bring Lin Chu back for dinner largely because of her sake. If the children weren't there, she might not be willing to let Lin Chu enter Cheng Cheng's house.

The mid-autumn family banquet that the adults had their own thoughts on ended so plainly. Cheng Wanqiu didn't stay any longer, and Grandma Cheng didn't intend to keep him either. She didn't even want to say any extra words to her grandson, her face was indifferent Even the lines of the facial features look so hard.

Cheng Wanqiu and Lin Chu were leaving. Xinxin was very reluctant. She tearfully hugged Cheng Wanqiu's leg and asked him to go home with them.

Cheng Wanqiu picked her up and kissed her on the cheek, and promised to visit her to play when he had time, Xin Xin reluctantly let go of him, saying goodbye to her brother.

Cheng Wanqiu patted her head, raised her head and quietly looked at Grandma Cheng who was too stubborn to look at them from the beginning to the end, and sighed heavily, "Grandma, take care of yourself."

After speaking, he took Lin Chu's hand and turned to leave. The online car-hailing car they called was already waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

When Lin Chu left, his footsteps were not brisk, and he held Cheng Wanqiu's hand so tightly that he felt pain. The thin figure of Grandma Cheng was deeply imprinted in his mind, and his guilt towards Grandma Cheng also reached its peak. , he couldn't get around the idea that he was the culprit of her weight loss, but he couldn't let go of Cheng Wanqiu's hand, which he was holding tightly.

Not even once.

Back home, before the lights in the living room had time to turn on, Lin Chu pulled Cheng Wanqiu into the living room, pushed him down on the sofa, and buried himself in that familiar embrace, motionless.

Cheng Wanqiu wrapped his arms around his back, and gently stroked the soft pink hair with his other hand. He knew too well that Lin Chu had wronged him and asked him to hug him.

The two cuddled silently in the dark living room, absorbing each other's body temperature and breath.

Until a certain moment, Lin Chu raised his face, and just looked at each other for only a second, and they kissed together in the next moment.

Lin Chu is an absolutely lonely person. For people like him, the people or things in this world that they care about can be counted on one hand.

It is precisely because he has too little and too little that even if you break his muscles, he will never let go of the warmth that was finally held in his hands.
