Chapter 47
Chapter 47
Liang's mother likes Xia Chen very much. She used to be in her hometown. The image of this child is that of someone else's family.
Well-behaved, quiet, and sensible.
She is also good at painting, she is fair and clean and very outstanding, she even occasionally thinks, anyway, she doesn't like to talk, if only Liang Ming could be replaced by such a good boy.
His son is a big old man.
Xia Chen's first point was a small alley in the ancient city. Originally, he was going to sit on a bench by the side of the road to draw today, but after looking around, he couldn't help but walked a few steps forward and found a teahouse.
"Auntie, are we here today?" Xia Chen asked her.
There is food and tea, and the most important thing is that Liang's mother can sit there and drink tea to pass the time.
"It's fine, you don't have to worry about me, you can just draw your own." Liang's mother was afraid that he would restrain her.
Ms. Liang may have been a housewife all her life, and she yearned for such a life of literature and art, but she even read the books in the teahouse for a day.
Xia Chen admired her a little, he couldn't sit still with such literal things.
In the evening, Liang Ming came to pick them up, and the three of them ate at a nearby barbecue restaurant.
However, it was Liang's mother and Xia Chen who were talking all the time. Liang Ming glanced at his phone from time to time, but didn't eat much.
Xia Chen bit his lower lip, a little worried whether it was because he told the news that he was here, what did Qin Lichuan and Shen Yifei do to make him unhappy.
When Liang's mother went to the bathroom halfway, Xia Chen finally couldn't help but speak.
"Brother Liang, I'm sorry, don't you want Li Chuan and the others to know that you're here?"
Liang Ming was surprised that he would think so, but he was also very frank, "Why, it has nothing to do with Lichuan's matter... I just don't want to have anything to do with Yifei." He was very frank, "But it doesn't matter, the matter has to be resolved."
Xia Chen twitched the corners of his lips, feeling even more uneasy.
……
Liang Ming just watched Xia Chen and his mother go out today, when he was dragged into the hotel by a person who appeared behind him unexpectedly.
Liang Ming's heart skipped a beat, and he shook off his hand.
"Shen Yifei!"
The person in front turned his head and looked at him, "Is it because I don't come here, you are never going to appear in City A?"
Liang Ming frowned, looking at the distraught man in front of him, he didn't understand why he was angry.
"what are you saying?"
Shen Yifei snorted coldly, and turned to dragging and pushing him into the elevator, "I think we need to talk."
Liang Ming took his hand away from his arm, knowing that he couldn't hide today, so he took the initiative to press the floor.
It would be fine if Liang Ming was angry with him, but now his lukewarm state made Shen Yifei a little uncomfortable. He was afraid that Liang Ming really didn't care about him, and was really ready to give up their relationship for so many years.
When the elevator reached the floor, Liang Ming stepped out first, followed by Shen Yifei.
It's just that calmness is superficial. As soon as Shen Yifei came in, he closed the door with his backhand, and jumped onto Liang Ming's back, "Liang Ming! You bastard!"
Liang Ming was staggered by him and almost couldn't stand still, his camouflaged expression began to be gradually torn apart. Shen Yifei used to do this kind of action a lot, but now, he felt a little out of breath for no reason.
"Fly, come down." Liang Ming said in a deep voice.
Shen Yifei hugged his neck and curled up on his back.
This movement is difficult for ordinary people, but it becomes very simple for Liang Ming, who has excellent physical fitness, and Shen Yifei, who has done thousands of jumps.
He shook his head, "No, you never let me down before."
There was too much helplessness in Liang Ming's voice, "It was so many years ago. You have finished your studies and returned to China, and I have also retired from the army. We should all mature."
Shen Yifei didn't want to hear his tone, and said irritably, "Can't I do this when I'm mature? Why, I want it! I won't come down!"
Liang Ming rubbed his temples, "Why?" Liang Ming repeated his words, "Shen Yifei, touched your heart, don't you really know?"
The person on the back looked like a child who had done something wrong for a moment, a little scared.
"I've done everything I should and can do, what do you want from me?" Liang Ming seemed to be asking him as well as himself.
"Yifei, I'm not like you. I used to be dazed in front of me, and no one stood behind me. I have nothing but a fragile mother. Do you know what I mean? I can't afford it anymore. .”
Shen Yifei was stunned, never expecting that Liang Ming would say such a thing to him.
"I used to expect that you would look back at me. Even if you look at me, even if I fail my parents and family, I can persist, but..." He stretched out his hand to pull the man off him, and turned to stare at his face. Eyes, every word, "You didn't! You never did."
Shen Yifei looked helpless, and his eyes were full of horror.
He never thought that his irresponsible escape would cause him such great harm, never thought that Liang Ming's heart would be like this.
Liang Ming watched him step back unconsciously, and frowned in annoyance. What did he tell him, would it have any other effect besides causing the two of them to suffer together?
Shen Yifei's mentality has not been very sound due to family reasons. Whenever he encounters a problem, he will subconsciously avoid it, and even selfishly ignore other people's feelings in order to protect himself from harm.
Seeing his beast-like eyes, Liang Ming felt a pain in his heart and wanted to touch his face.
But he was dodged subconsciously, and then... in front of Liang Ming again, he opened the door and ran out frantically.
Again, again, again!
Less than half an hour after we met, it became like this again. Liang Ming stared numbly at the wide-open door and the empty corridor, feeling cramps in his heart.
There is no way, there is nothing he can do.
On the way back with Xia Chen, Liang's mother might have sensed that her son's mood was wrong, so she reached out and pulled his arm, "What's wrong? Where did you go today?"
"Huh?" Liang Ming looked at his mother who was holding his arm, as if he didn't hear what he said.
The corners of Xia Chen's lips moved, wondering if something really happened today.
Back at the hotel, he immediately called Qin Lichuan, "Did you tell Shen Yifei about Brother Liang's presence here?"
Qin Lichuan touched his nose, "...what's wrong?"
"Brother Liang is in a particularly bad mood today." Xia Chen glanced at the night scene outside, and regretted telling Qin Lichuan about meeting Liang's mother here.
"Actually... when you were in video chat with me, I flew over to my office." There was no way, Qin Lichuan could only tell the truth, "Xia Chen, don't blame yourself, the two of them have to settle this matter. good."
Xia Chen wasn't worried about the two of them, Xia Chen was worried that Liang's mother would know the truth and be hurt.
Fortunately, he didn't see Shen Yifei in the hotel, and Xia Chen gradually felt relieved.
On the third and fourth day in Dali, Xia Chen went to the Erhai Lake to sketch together with his class. He only had dinner with Liang's mother when he came back at night, and he never saw Liang Ming.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, they had to leave for Lijiang in groups, and Liang Ming came back to see him off at noon.
Before getting into the car, Xia Chen hesitantly apologized to Liang Ming again, "Brother Liang, I'm really sorry about Brother Yifei, but... I hope you are all well, and I will support you no matter what you decide. But please consider Auntie well, I... don't want her to be hurt, she is really good, even if... you decide to be together, please take your time and let her accept it slowly."
Liang Ming smiled after a long absence, and finally realized why Xia Chen liked his mother so much
"I will. If I have a chance when I go back, I will often come to the house."
Liang's mother came out of the hotel, carrying a lot of snacks, special products and so on. Xia Chen thought it was for him, but saw Liang's mother got on the bus directly after turning a corner.
Xia Chen was taken aback for a moment, exchanged glances with Liang Ming, and followed.
I saw Liang's mother sharing things with Siyi, and said while sharing, "Oh, it's good for everyone to hang out together, you just want to go out for a walk while you are young, these little things are bought for you to eat on the road, it's all like this For the special products on the side, our Xia Chen will trouble everyone to take care of them along the way. He is too boring and stupid, so please forgive me. Talk, but character and appearance are still fine..."
Siyi laughed while posting, "Auntie, I don't think you are here to let us take care of Xia Chen, you are here to find a girlfriend for Xia Chen?"
When everyone saw Xia Chen coming up, they also booed, "Yes, auntie, Xia Chen is very popular in our college, many girls like it, just one thing, can you make him smile more? Otherwise, everyone will not even confess I dare not open my mouth..."
Xia Chen wanted to cover his face, but seeing everyone talking more and more biased, he quickly gave Siyi all the things in Liang's mother's hand, and then pulled Liang's mother out of the car, "Auntie, Brother Liang is still waiting for you below. Go down first..."
Liang's mother knew that Xia Chen was liked by many girls, her face was full of joy, and she went down with Xia Chen without insisting any longer.
When the bus started, Xia Chen waved his hands to the people outside the window, his eyes were a little hot.
This feeling was different from the feeling he had towards Qin Lichuan, it was the feeling of family affection he had always longed for.
Every word and every action of Liang's mother touched him very much, even...better than real relatives.
Siyi sat beside him, reached out and opened the dried fruit bought by Liang's mother, and handed it to him, "No, your aunt gave it to you. She seems to have forgotten to keep it for you. Try it."
Xia Chen reached out and took one and put it in his mouth. In fact, there are a lot of food stuffed by Liang's mother in his backpack now.
The ones just now should have been specially prepared for these students later. She was afraid that she would not be able to speak and get along with her classmates, so she came here on purpose.
After the car got on the highway, Xia Chen sent Qin Lichuan a message.
[Auntie told our classmates... she wants to introduce me to a girlfriend. 】
Qin Lichuan: [? ? ? 】
In the past few days, he has often heard the word "auntie" from Xia Chen's mouth. It may be that Liang's mother really likes Xia Chen, and Xia Chen also really felt this feeling.
[You tell your classmates that you already have a master. The woman is fair and beautiful, with legs that are several meters long, and has countless fortunes. Let any of them refuse to accept it and come to me. 】
Xia Chen, […]
Seeing him smile, Ren Siyi had the nerve to ask, "Hey, it's just your aunt, is that your own aunt?" The two of them have been classmates for so many years, they know each other very well, and he doesn't mind Ren Siyi's question.
"No." He said, "Professor Yang also knows her. On New Year's Day, he went to sketch at their hometown. This is Qin Lichuan's friend's mother."
Ren Siyi nodded, and then suddenly realized, "Auntie looks so kind, and she is also very nice."
Xia Chen smiled, "Yeah, that's how we met at first, but she was very kind to me, and even... made me feel feelings that I haven't seen in many years." He looked at Ren Siyi, "You know what I mean Is it? It's...the kind that is the same as relatives, although they are not relatives."
Ren Siyi nodded repeatedly, "I understand." She said, "Then you must visit her often in the future."
Xia Chen twitched the corners of his lips, "Brother Liang said the same thing just now."
When they arrived in Lijiang, they lived in a B&B in Shuhe Ancient Town. The house is made of pure wood, and the decoration of each room is different, which is very beautiful.
Standing on the second floor, Xia Chen looked at the scenery of the entire ancient town, and his mood suddenly opened up.
Everyone went out to play at this time, and there were only a few people in the homestay who were catching up on sleep. He went up to the small wooden pavilion on the third floor and sat down, and called Qin Lichuan.
Even knowing that the man is working now, he pressed the video call directly.
He wanted to share the scenery here with him as soon as possible.
It is said that Qin Lichuan is actually in a meeting during working hours. Xia Chen lives with others, and it is usually not convenient to have a video call with him. Now Qin Lichuan glanced at the people sitting below, and asked Alan to continue to host the meeting , and then went out with his mobile phone.
Allen smiled awkwardly, opened his eyes and said nonsense, "It's urgent, let's continue."
The people below secretly slandered in their hearts, what is urgent?They think this should be a happy event, this face is full of happiness.
As soon as the phone was connected, the man heard Xia Chen's slightly excited voice, "Qin Lichuan, what are you doing?"
Qin Lichuan was also infected by his brisk tone, "I'm answering your call." He said, "Why are you so happy? Are you in Lijiang?"
Xia Chen nodded, then turned the phone around, "Here, look, isn't it beautiful?"
Qin Lichuan nodded in agreement, "It's quite beautiful, is this the ancient town of Lijiang?"
"No." Xia Chen arranged the phone camera, "It's Shuhe Ancient Town, the place Professor Yang picked."
Qin Lichuan returned to the office and sat down, looking at the scenery behind him, feeling a little regretful that he couldn't be with him, "I like it that much? I've never seen you so happy."
Xia Chen nodded, "It's really beautiful. When I entered the hotel, I dragged my luggage all the way in. The streets and alleys are even more beautiful."
Qin Lichuan tapped the face on the screen, "You have a conscience, if you think it's beautiful, remember to share it with me."
"I just feel sorry for you staying in the office every day?" He said, got up and went back to the room, and then opened the bag to show him while talking to the man, "Look, it's time to leave today Auntie packed it for me, a lot of snacks, a lot of food."
Qin Lichuan saw his excited voice, coupled with his increasingly clear expression, and realized that Xia Chen was only under 20 years old.
Compared with Qin Qing, he has really suffered so much these years, so that now he can remember clearly when others treat him a little bit, and he can even be so happy.
