When Mother Su saw her son coming back so late, she asked with concern, "Why are you coming back so late? Did something happen?"
When his mother asked him, Su Zhengliang replied calmly, "Mom, I'm fine," and then locked himself in the room.
Seeing that something was wrong with her son, Su's mother quickly asked Su Zhengqing, "What's wrong with Xiaoliang? His face is so bad, could he be sick?"
Su Zhengqing was afraid that her mother would be too worried, so she hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, please stop making random guesses. I'll go take a look."
Su Zhengliang lay flat on the bed, staring straight at the ceiling, his eyes blank and lifeless, which startled Su Zhengqing who came in to find out.
Su Zhengqing sat beside the bed anxiously, "Xiao Liang, are you okay?"
After saying that, she touched the other person's forehead and mumbled, "I don't have a fever."
Su Zhengliang reluctantly said, "Sister, I'm fine, I'm just too tired and want to take a nap."
"Okay, I'm going to cook first, and you'll get up to eat later."
"No, I have no appetite."
When Su Zhengqing saw that her brother didn't even eat, she immediately became unhappy. She put her right hand on her hips and raised her eyebrows and said, "You are a grown man, how can you not eat? Listen to my sister, you must eat no matter how tired you are!"
Su Zhengliang turned over, curled up in the quilt and muttered, "Okay."
"You go to sleep first. The dinner lady will call you later."
After dinner, Su's mother asked Su Zhengliang if he had mentioned anything about Su Zhengqing to You Shaoqi.
Su Zhengliang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered that he had promised his mother to introduce You Shaoqi to Su Zhengqing. But because he was troubled by too many things, he completely forgot about it. His mother said something about not caring about his sister, etc.
If so, Su Zhengliang escorted Su's mother back to her room with Xiao.
After his mother fell asleep, Su Zhengliang asked Su Zhengqing what he meant, and Su Zhengqing did not refuse.
After the siblings discussed it, Su Zhengliang called You Shaoqi and asked him to meet tomorrow night.
You Shaoqi didn't know why Su Zhengliang suddenly asked him out, and also kept it secretive without telling him. Suspicion suddenly arose in his heart.
You Shaoqi put down the phone and had a bad premonition in his heart. He suddenly hesitated about meeting Su Zhengliang tomorrow, feeling that something would happen as long as he went to the appointment.
only…
After thinking for a long time, You Shaoqi was ready to go on the date. Because, as long as Su Zhengliang asked him, no matter what happened, even if it really made him regret his whole life, he would have no regrets.
**********Night is coming, like a thin layer of orange gauze, covering the sky over the noisy city.
Su Zhengliang waited for a long time at the restaurant that he had arranged with You Shaoqi in advance, but he still didn't see the other party. This made him a little confused. According to his understanding of You Shaoqi, unless something unexpected happened, he would definitely
He won't be late. Even if something really important happens and he has to get away, he will definitely contact him. This is the first time that he has not shown up without a phone call like today.
The unique coolness of early autumn, with a touch of desolation and loneliness, seeps in from the window.
The sky has completely darkened.
Time passed little by little on Su Zhengliang's clasped fingertips.
Whenever someone stepped into the store, he couldn't help but look at the door, but the person he had agreed with was still missing.
Su Zhengliang stared at the mobile phone on the table for a while, then picked it up and pressed the dial button. What he heard again was the same mechanical voice coldly repeating the same words, "The user you dialed cannot be reached, please."
Call me later".
After putting down the phone, deep doubts and uneasiness surged into Su Zhengliang's heart, and his heroic eyebrows gradually gathered together.
Shaoqi, where are you?
"Sorry, it took me a long time," a gentle male voice broke the silence for a long time.
Su Zhengliang hurriedly raised his head and said, "Shaoqi, you are finally here."
"I was delayed because of something when I was about to come out, so I was a little late." You Shaoqi lowered his head and looked at the handsome face, "Don't blame me for being late."
Su Zhengliang said half-jokingly, "You are already a celebrity now. I am very happy that you can take the time to show your favor and have dinner with me. How can I blame you?"
You Shaoqi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Zhengliang, you are just making fun of me. I am a celebrity who didn't become famous with your help."
"Okay, let's order first."
Su Zhengliang waved to the front, and a waiter in a white shirt and black tie quickly stepped forward and handed over a beautifully printed menu.
The two randomly pointed out a few signature dishes.
After the adaptive student left, Su Zhengliang said, "Shaoqi, have you been very busy recently? Thank you so much the night before yesterday. If you hadn't sent me home, I probably would have slept there all night."
Seeing Su Zhengliang mentioning the night before yesterday, You Shaoqi felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart. He smiled and pretended not to care, "You don't need to be so polite between friends. You were drunk that night. I went over as soon as I got the call.
I'm afraid something will happen to you. Fortunately, you're fine, otherwise I would have been worried to death. Zhengliang, promise me, you won't drink so much again in the future."
Su Zhengliang lowered his eyelids and responded in a low voice, "I know, Shaoqi, thank you for your concern. I will take good care of myself and stop drinking randomly."
"That's good."
Su Zhengliang adjusted his somewhat dull mood and cleverly changed the subject, "Shaoqi, it's hard for you to care so much about me. But you have been busy with social activities and be careful about your health. After all, you are also over thirty.
."
You Shaoqi touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "After you reminded me like this, I realized that I have reached the age to be called uncle. Hey, I am getting old."
Su Zhengliang raised his eyebrows, "What are you talking about? How can you be called old? It should be mature. A mature man with a successful career like you is the dream lover of many girls."
You Shaoqi smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Come on Zhengliang, please stop making fun of me."
"How am I making fun of you? Everything I said is true. If I were a girl, I would marry you without hesitation."
When You Shaoqi heard this answer, he felt like something was stuck in his throat. It took him a while to come back to his senses, "Zhengliang, do you really think so?"
Su Zhengliang immediately replied without hesitation, "Of course."
"You two, your food is here."
Steaming fish soup and several brightly colored seasonal vegetables were brought to the table. The aroma was overflowing and made the mouth water.
Su Zhengliang looked at a table of delicious food, and said, "Shaoqi, since the food is here, let's chat while eating. This fish soup looks good, you can try it."
With that said, he stood up and wanted to get the spoon on the other side of the dining table. Instead, You Shaoqi had quick eyesight and quick hands. He took the spoon and said to Su Zhengliang, "I'll do it."
Before Su Zhengliang could object, he scooped a large spoonful of fish soup into a small porcelain white bowl and handed it to Su Zhengliang.
"Thank you," Su Zhengliang took the small bowl, but he couldn't hold it firmly and the hot fish soup spilled out of the bowl.
"hiss."
Su Zhengliang gasped, quickly let go of his hand, and the entire bowl of fish soup fell over on the dining table.
You Shaoqi's expression suddenly changed, "Is it burned?"
"It's okay," Su Zhengliang endured the pain, pretending to be okay, picked up the bowl and wanted to fill another bowl of fish soup.
You Shaoqi grabbed the other person's hand and glanced at the swollen and red fingertips. Concern that could not be concealed welled up in his eyes, "Don't be brave. It's swollen like this. Wash it with cold water."
As You Shaoqi said this, he pulled Su Zhengliang and walked quickly towards the bathroom.
When the diners at other tables saw the two men walking by holding hands in public, they all gave them strange looks, and some even pointed at them directly.
"Hey, look, these two men are holding hands. Could it be that they are gay?"
"Tsk, stop talking, it's so disgusting."
"They are really bold..."
Hearing words such as "homosexual" and "disgusting" made Su Zhengliang's face instantly turn extremely pale. He stopped and said to You Shaoqi in front of him, "Shaoqi, you go back first, I can go by myself."
You Shaoqi held Su Zhengliang's hand tightly and said firmly, "No, I don't trust you alone."
