Do you like to eat it?

[1. Consultation]

Chu Yang froze in place.

At this moment, his brain seemed to have stopped functioning.

It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength before he could hold back a sentence with great difficulty: "Please, are you Teacher Lu's mother?"

The woman replied, "No."

Chu Yang: "..."

Before he could open his mouth to ask the woman's identity, he saw a woman wearing a khaki coat and light-colored jeans walking over. This woman was very beautiful, and she exuded a gentle aura from all over her body, which made people unconscious want to be close.

Somehow, after seeing the comforting gaze of this woman, Chu Yang's nervous mood eased a lot.

"She is Aunt Gao, my friend, and she came with me." The woman's tone of voice was also soft and soft, and the corners of her mouth curled up with a slight arc, "I am Xiuyuan's mother."

If you look carefully, you will find that this woman is roughly similar to Lu Xiuyuan in appearance, especially her eyes, which are as beautiful as obsidian.

It's just that Lu Xiuyuan never smiled like a woman. Although he often laughed, Chu Yang could feel that Lu Xiuyuan's smile was not from the heart, but more like a mask stuck on his face.

The temperament of the mother and son was so different that Chu Yang couldn't even imagine that Lu Xiuyuan's mother was such a gentle and kind woman.

After reacting, he stammered and shouted: "Hello, Auntie."

"Come in and sit down." Xia Bei smiled and said, "It's hard for us to talk standing here."

Chu Yang let out an ooh in a daze, and quickly bent over to change his shoes.

Seeing this, Gao Qian who was next to her quickly winked at Xia Bei, with a hint of hatred in her expression.

Xia Bei was a little helpless, she naturally understood what Gao Qian wanted to say to her, so she patted Gao Qian's arm lightly, and gave her a calm look.

In fact, before coming here, Xia Bei also heard about Chu Yang from other people. Those people who added fuel and vinegar said a lot, so she didn't have a good impression of Chu Yang. Now that she met him, she realized that Chu Yang was more honest and polite than she imagined, but he seemed a little timid.

Although Xia Bei has lived in the cannibalistic Lu family for more than 30 years, her temperament of judging people by their appearance has not changed at all. Chu Yang gave her a good first impression, and her tense mood instantly relaxed a lot .

It's a pity that Chu Yang didn't know what Xia Bei was thinking, he didn't even dare to look up at the two women in front of him.

He followed behind them, came to sit in front of the sofa anxiously, swallowed silently.

Xia Bei was sitting opposite Chu Yang, glanced at the book tightly held in his arms, and said with a light smile, "Put the book down, it must be a bit tiring to hold it like this."

Hearing this, Chu Yang nodded quickly, bent down and put the book on the coffee table.

When he sat back, he glanced at the empty coffee table, and immediately realized that he got up quickly and said, "Auntie, please sit down for a while, and I'll get you a glass of water."

Xia Bei smiled and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Who would have thought that as soon as her words fell, she heard Gao Qian beside her say in a strange voice: "It's just that I've lived here for a while, and I really regard myself as the master."

After finishing speaking, he smiled coldly with the corners of his mouth curled.

Chu Yang froze for a moment, standing on the spot in embarrassment, so at a loss that he didn't even know how to put his hands. It was not wrong for him to continue standing, nor was it wrong to pretend that he didn't hear.

At this moment, his face was flushed red.

A heart beat faster as if stimulated.

thump, thump—

The voice came overwhelmingly, as if it was going to knock him down. His hands clenched into fists trembled a little, and he could only grab his pants tightly.

Fortunately, at this time, Xia Bei rescued him and said: "Xiaoqian, don't say that, Xiao Chu has lived here for so long, he is not the master, are we the master?"

Gao Qian was stunned for a moment, she didn't seem to expect Xia Bei to say that, she looked a little ugly for a moment, but she didn't say anything.

Xia Bei smiled at Chu Yang and said, "Go quickly."

Chu Yang breathed a sigh of relief and ran away quickly.

When Chu Yang's figure disappeared into the kitchen, Gao Qian said half complaining and half blaming: "Didn't we come to show him off? What's going on with you? Do you really agree with that little boy as your Daughter-in-law."

"When did I say I was going to show him off?" Xia Bei glanced at Gao Qian speechlessly, touched her face and sighed, and said softly, "I don't think that child is a person who can't listen to words. Tell him, maybe he will grant my request."

Gao Qian couldn't help but roll her eyes, and clicked her tongue twice: "Look at your face, which is faster than turning the pages of a book. When you came here, you were worried and frowning, but now you have figured it out again."

Xia Bei smiled and owed Gao Qian's hand: "Anyway, thank you for taking the time to accompany me here today, but I don't think he is unreasonable, so I don't need to be arrogant. I will talk to him later. .”

"Okay..." Gao Qian said gloomily, "Just now I sang bad faces for nothing, and I don't know what that little boy will think of me in the future. He may think that I have entered menopause early."

Xia Bei chuckled.

Chu Yang who was in the kitchen didn't dare to dawdle, boiled water as fast as he could, made two cups of tea and brought them out.

The tea leaves were prepared by Xiao Chen a long time ago. I heard that they are very expensive and high-quality tea leaves. Unfortunately, Chu Yang doesn't know how to drink tea, and Lu Xiuyuan doesn't seem to like it either. These tea leaves have been piled up in the kitchen cabinet to accumulate dust.

The sudden arrival of two aunts today at least made the tea leaves useful.

Chu Yang looked down at the two cups of tea in his hand, thinking bitterly in his heart.

He put the tea in front of Xia Bei and Gao Qian, turned on the central air conditioner in the room, and finally sat back on the sofa opposite them, with his hands on his knees, sitting like a schoolboy.

Xia Bei picked up the teacup, took a sip, it was a little hot, she put the teacup back on the coffee table, and then looked up at Chu Yang who had his head down and only his sharp chin was showing.

"Xiao Chu, I don't want to play tricks on you and waste your time and mine." Xia Bei said softly, her voice was very soft, floating in the gradually warming air, slipping past Chu Yang's ears like a feather , "I take the liberty of visiting today because I want to tell you something."

Chu Yang was sitting upright, he wanted to ask something, but he didn't even have the courage to look directly into Xia Bei's eyes, he opened his mouth now, but couldn't make a sound.

His palms were full of sweat.

For the first time in my life, I feel that time is so difficult.

He even had a wave of hope - Lu Xiuyuan could come back sooner, if only Lu Xiuyuan dragged his suitcase and opened the door right now.

Chu Yang thought about a lot of things, and his state was obviously absent-minded.

Fortunately, Xia Bei had investigated some things about Chu Yang before coming here, and she probably knew about Chu Yang's character and illness, so she didn't think there was anything wrong with Chu Yang's behavior at this time.

And Gao Qian next to her had already taken off her mink coat, and was lazily leaning on the sofa, holding the cup of freshly brewed tea in both hands, taking a sip from time to time, looking like an outsider who had nothing to do with herself.

Xia Bei organized her words for a while before continuing: "Xiao Chu, I want to ask you a question first."

Chu Yang hummed like a mosquito.

"You and Xiuyuan..." Xia Bei paused, "Is it the kind of relationship mentioned on the Internet?"

Hearing this, Chu Yang felt relieved.

That's exactly what they came for.

Fortunately, he and Lu Xiuyuan are just ordinary friends, otherwise he would not know how to face Lu Xiuyuan's mother.

But at the same time, he felt his heart aching again, and he realized that the relationship between him and Lu Xiuyuan can only be described by the word "friend".

Even though Cen Yanbo said so much to him, even in the eyes of Cen Yanbo and others, how unclear he and Lu Xiuyuan are, they have always been friends and never crossed the line.

Maybe Lu Xiuyuan just sympathized with him and pitied him, and never wanted to develop any relationship other than friendship...

Chu Yang's face became paler and paler, his nails dug into the flesh of the palm of his hand, but he couldn't feel the pain at all, and Xia Bei's question just now echoed repeatedly in his ears.

After a long time, he managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Auntie, Teacher Lu and I are just friends, and people on the Internet are talking nonsense."

Xia Bei still had some doubts in her heart, but she didn't show it. Instead, she smiled and said, "Really? It was posted on the Internet, saying that you went to watch the fireworks together, and spent the New Year's Eve together, and your relationship is very close. "

After finishing speaking, seeing that Chu Yang didn't respond, Xia Bei said again, "Maybe you don't know, Xiuyuan is getting more and more homeless now, and he used to come back to see me often, but now he spends all his time except when necessary. In terms of work, it’s the first time I’ve seen him accompany others on holidays.”

"..."

The bitterness in Chu Yang's heart almost overflowed.

He took a deep breath, finally suppressed the trembling tongue, and tried not to stutter: "Because I had some friction with my roommate, it is not convenient to live in the dormitory, Teacher Lu kindly asked me to move here, and New Year's Eve That night, I couldn't go home because my relationship with my family was not good, and it happened that Teacher Lu finished his work, so we celebrated the festival together."

The smile on the corner of Xia Bei's mouth was even bigger, and she said in a neutral tone, "Oh, really?"

Chu Yang couldn't figure out Xia Bei's attitude, so he nodded and said, "Because I am a boy, and Teacher Lu is also a boy, so I will invite Teacher Lu to watch the fireworks with the ticket given by my friend. If I am If it's a girl or Teacher Lu is a girl, I won't say a word to Teacher Lu, but I didn't expect people on the Internet to be so open-minded and describe me and Teacher Lu as that kind of relationship..."

As the voice fell, the air also became silent.

After a while, Gao Qian suddenly broke the silence: "I think what he said makes sense, those people on the Internet really have nothing to do."

Xia Bei looked at Gao Qian helplessly.

Gao Qian immediately closed her mouth and sipped her tea bored.

"Xiao Chu, I'm actually very happy to hear that you and Xiu Yuan don't have that kind of relationship, so it will be much easier to deal with this matter." Xia Bei said, "We can't stop those people from thinking, we can only do our best to deal with it." I want to avoid what those people say, this matter has not yet reached Xiuyuan's father's ears, if Xiuyuan's father finds out, the consequences will be disastrous."

[2. move away]

Xia Bei had already spoken enough.

Although Chu Yang was usually slow to respond, he should understand what she meant by now.

"Please don't worry, auntie. I will keep a distance from Teacher Lu in the future." Every time Chu Yang said a word, he felt his heart being pulled and hurt, and he didn't know why he was so sad.

Fortunately, the winter vacation is coming soon, and then he can find a part-time job that includes food and housing, and then move out from Lu Xiuyuan's house.

After listening to Chu Yang's words, Xia Bei immediately showed a relieved smile, and her beautiful eyebrows became more gentle and charming. She lowered her head and looked at the watch on her wrist: "It's already seven o'clock, you should pack your luggage now."

Chu Yang was surprised: "Huh?"

He couldn't keep up with Xia Bei's jumping thinking.

Seeing this, Xia Bei realized that Chu Yang hadn't thought of the step she arranged, so she explained with a slightly embarrassed smile: "Now there are reporters staying outside our house, it's better for this farce to end as soon as possible, you After moving out, reduce contact with Xiuyuan, the rumors will be self-defeating, and then I will ask someone to do public relations."

Chu Yang looked up at Xia Bei's beautiful face, which was almost similar to Lu Xiuyuan's, and was stunned for a long time before slowly digesting the meaning of Xia Bei's words.

He nodded: "Okay, I'm going to pack my luggage now."

It's refreshing to agree to that.

As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly stood up and ran towards the bedroom as if fleeing.

Even Gao Qian, who was watching the fun, was stunned.

She thought that Xia Bei would have to spend a lot of time to convince Chu Yang. After all, the materials they investigated said that Chu Yang's current situation was not very good, but Chu Yang agreed so simply.

Suddenly, she regretted deliberately putting on that vitriolic face not long ago to scare that little boy.

Gao Qian put the teacup on the coffee table in embarrassment, and glanced at Xia Bei who also had a complicated expression: "You are right, he is indeed very reasonable."

Too bad it's a boy...

wrong.

Even if Chu Yang is a girl, he and Lu Xiuyuan will not achieve a positive result. Lu Xiuyuan's family background and status are a huge gap between them that is difficult to bridge, and Mr. Lu is like a giant mountain between them.

Hey……

Gao Qian let out a sigh in her heart.

Originally, Chu Yang didn't bring many things in, but later Lu Xiuyuan asked Xiao Chen to bring back a lot of clothes and daily necessities one after another, which almost filled his bedroom and wardrobe, and it couldn't fit in only one suitcase.

He stood in front of the closet and hesitated for a long time, and finally just took away his own clothes. As for the clothes that Lu Xiuyuan asked Xiao Chen to buy for him, they were all neatly hung on the other side of the closet.

Of course, he didn't wear those clothes, and he didn't even remove the tags of those clothes.

It only took half an hour for Chu Yang to drag his suitcase out of the bedroom where he lived for half a year.

Xia Bei and Gao Qian were still sitting on the sofa in the living room. Seeing Chu Yang carrying the suitcase down the stairs, Xia Bei waved to Chu Yang and said, "Xiao Chu, come here."

Chu Yang's mental state was a bit poor, and he was stunned for a few seconds before walking over pale and calling softly, "Auntie."

Xia Bei took out a card and a piece of light-colored rectangular paper from the handbag beside her, and handed it to Chu Yang: "This is the room card of the King's Landing Hotel. I have paid two years' rent in total. Stay there until you graduate, King’s Landing Hotel is near your school, you can check the nearby branch on the map.”

Chu Yang glanced over the hotel room card above, and landed on the rectangular paper below.

He hesitated for a moment before saying: "This is?"

Xia Bei said: "I have already signed the 100 million check, and you can take it to the bank to exchange it at any time."

Chu Yang: "..."

He didn't seem to realize what the check was. He stared at the check for a long time, then slowly raised his head and moved his gaze to Xia Bei's face.

He opened his mouth slightly, and just looked at Xia Bei directly.

For some reason, Xia Bei felt a guilty conscience at this moment, she instinctively shrank her outstretched hand, and even when she spoke, she was not as confident as before: "I heard that you are having a little difficulty now, so you can I want to help you, I know it's a bit vulgar to give money directly, but putting aside face and effort, only doing this can prove that I really want to help you, and I have nothing to give you except money. "

Xia Bei was not good at speech and was very nervous, so she started talking nonsense after speaking.

Xu Shi Chu Yang's gaze was so clear that she felt like a vicious female partner in a TV drama who threatened her son and girlfriend to leave with money, and she even regretted taking out the check.

Fortunately, Gao Qian stood up in time to help her out: "Xiao Chu, your Auntie Xia has no other intentions. She just thinks that her behavior of coming here out of nowhere to ask you to leave is too much, so she wants to make up for you and apologize, but she doesn't know you If you need anything, I suggest that she give you money directly."

Xia Bei nodded hastily, and looked at Gao Qian gratefully.

Gao Qian blinked at her.

Chu Yang stared at the things in Xia Bei's hands in a daze for a full minute, until Piao Yuan's thoughts gradually returned, he shook his head slightly and pushed Xia Bei's hand back.

"Aunt Xia, thank you for your kindness, I can't ask for these things." Chu Yang said solemnly, "Teacher Lu has given me a lot of help, and I am very grateful to him, because my existence has caused him these troubles, and I feel very I'm sorry, if I can reduce the impact of those rumors on Mr. Lu, I should move out."

Hearing this, Xia Bei suddenly didn't know what to say.

She withdrew her hand in embarrassment, put the hotel room card and check back into her handbag, and when she turned her head to look at Chu Yang, her cheeks were already blushing.

Her smiling expression was rarely serious: "Xiao Chu, thank you."

Chu Yang smiled, didn't say anything, dragged his suitcase and left, and took a few books and pencil case that he put on the coffee table by the way.

It was already 08:30 in the evening when we walked out of the community, and there were dense snowflakes in the sky, which almost blocked the entire line of sight and made the whole world foggy.

Chu Yang felt a little cold and sneezed.

Standing outside the gate of the community, looking at the streets at night and the vehicles passing by in a hurry, he couldn't help feeling a sense of loss in his heart, and suddenly he didn't know where to go.

There was no bed for him in the school dormitory long ago, and he didn't want to disturb those classmates to squeeze their beds.

After much deliberation, Chu Yang took out his mobile phone and found a nearby hotel to stay temporarily.

The prices of hotels in this area are not cheap. The advantage is that the environment is good and the location is easy to find. After Chu Yang drowsily took a shower and barely dried his hair, he didn't even bother to eat, and lay on the bed tired fell asleep.

Lu Xiuyuan has a habit of sending a few WeChat messages to Chu Yang every night.

Even if he didn't know what to say, he would ask Chu Yang what he was doing and if he had eaten. Normally, Chu Yang would reply very quickly.

However, that night, the messages he sent were like nothing, and he didn't receive any reply until three or four o'clock in the morning. Lu Xiuyuan hesitated for a long time but was still not willing to call.

If Chu Yang fell asleep early, wouldn't he wake Chu Yang up?

Staying up like this until eight o'clock in the morning, Lu Xiuyuan was on the phone with Chu Yang in his intermittent dreams, and when he woke up in the morning, he found that he was holding the phone in his hand all the time.

He absent-mindedly got up and finished breakfast, sat down at the desk, and dialed Chu Yang's number with his mobile phone.

Unfortunately no one answered.

Lu Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, before his brain reacted, he continued to click Chu Yang's name with his fingers, and dialed another phone call.

Called seven or eight times in a row, but the other party was in a state of no one answering.

Lu Xiuyuan thought that Chu Yang was in class, so he turned his mobile phone to silent or it was inconvenient to answer the phone, but when he was about to check Chu Yang's class schedule on the computer, he suddenly realized—is it Saturday today?

Chu Yang should rest at home.

Maybe still sleeping late.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiuyuan just put it down to deliver it, but just after noon, he heard the news from Xiaochen that Chu Yang had moved out of his house.
