Old Friend

Xiao Yao was sitting on his bed, panting violently. Maybe he was overloaded with running and running just now.

This feeling is already very unfamiliar. Ever since he coexisted with Yu Luying and enjoyed the physical fitness of two people, Xiao Yao has rarely been so tired.

It seems that I have been a little overworked recently.

When the phone rang, he thought it was Yu Luying calling, so he answered it impatiently, but the voice was Xiong Ji's.

Xiong Ji wanted to ask if he could help Song Haijian when he was making things difficult for him, but Xiao Yao had no intention of caring about Song Haijian at the moment.

He wanted to discuss with Xiong Ji how to restore his current relationship with Shen Jie, but after thinking about it again, he realized that even though Xiong Ji and he were good brothers who fought side by side in the shadow world, now that they can't If you tell him about symbiosis, you can't expect him to provide any real help.

So, I had to say a few perfunctory words about Song Haijian, and then hung up the phone.

After all, the secret of symbiosis still has to be kept.

…

I know this stall owner Xiao Yao, his surname is Gao, he looks 40 years old, and he has been selling fish at a stall here for several years. The neighbors affectionately call him Brother Qiang.

When you are reconciled with Shen Jie, you must have an honest conversation with Shen Tianyun. You must let her tell the truth clearly, and you must not let her talk about him anymore.

He rarely goes to the vegetable market. In his eyes, the vegetable market is a very dirty place. He doesn't know why Shen Jie, the eldest lady, was willing to follow his uncle there before.

When passing by a stall selling fish at the entrance of the market, the stall owner was using a water pipe to wash away the blood and internal organs around the stall. A few water droplets splashed on Xiao Yao's bare feet, making him bounce subconsciously.

"No, me," Xiao Yao said with a bitter smile.

It’s wrong, it’s still wrong. If you are divorced from your mother, how can you still live alone in your father’s house?

Three hours, three days, three months and three years all belong to the category of "a period of time", but if you want to move everything there... it is not a problem that can be solved in a day or two.

Shen Tianyun looked at Xiao Yao with wide eyes: "You..."

"What?" Xiao Yao was worried for a while and tried to search in his memory. In the past month and a half since he knew Shen Jie, the girl was always confident and strong. He had never seen her cry.

Shen Tianyun jumped out of the closet and took the plate of fried shredded pork with green peppers in both hands: "My mother told you to go to school quickly and don't delay the business."

Can?

"Hi." Xiao Yao greeted his daughter slightly awkwardly.

Xiao Yao was startled, and suddenly remembered that on the bus to Zhouzhuang, Yu Luying had asked him to help find out how she would be in the future: "You know Yu Luying, right? How was she doing in 1934?"

Brother Qiang saw that he had soiled Xiao Yao's shoes. Although he apologized to Xiao Yao, he was less honest and more arrogant than before.

As a man, you should take care of your own affairs, hey.

"What does your mother mean now?" Seeing that Shen Tianyun had no intention of continuing, Xiao Yao had no choice but to ask.

After all, which child tells the truth to his parents?

However, at this critical juncture, Tian Yun must not be offended again, and she must be won over to his side.

"What are you doing-"

Xiao Yao touched his chin. This was the first time since he met Shen Tianyun that he began to consider the possibility that this child was not telling the truth.

After saying this, she turned around and walked into the closet.

Xiao Yao didn't speak, but Shen Tianyun saw his eyes full of questions.

It's almost one o'clock, I have to go to school later, so let's do this first.

The girl did not go back to the closet, but stayed where she was, just looking at Xiao Yao.

…

But it’s hard to say, Xiao Yao thought.

Xiao Yao returned to the room with two dishes in his hands. Just as he was about to hook the closet door with his foot, the door opened by itself.

"How long is a period of time?"

"Wait a minute, old sweetheart?" Xiao Yao captured this word keenly and interrupted Shen Tianyun's chatter: "Didn't you say that of me, you were single until you were 30 years old?"

"I see how my little mother treats you every day. If you still...if you keep doing this, I, I," the girl considered her words, then stamped her foot: "I won't be with you either. Be friends."

"What are you telling me?" Xiao Yao was puzzled: "If you want to know anything, just ask."

The cupboard door was pushed open like a ghost, lightly and slowly, as if it had been blown open by the wind.

Didn't Chen Lu say it before, girls have to be coaxed.

"You're here just in time. Bring this dish to your mother. Make sure she eats it. Please, please."

"Don't worry, we can't leave," Shen Tianyun shrugged: "I just talked to my mother on the phone and she persuaded her to stop."

When he came to the market, Xiao Yao's mind was not on buying vegetables. The more he thought about what Shen Tianyun just said, the more uneasy he felt.

"Cut~"

It's really a dilemma.

Slender? That’s okay.

Xiao Yao said "tsk".

"Mom and dad are getting divorced, who are you going to marry?" Xiao Yao joked with her.

Xiao Yao craned his neck to look, and behind his little feet was a slender and strong leg.

Shen Tianyun pouted, walked to Xiao Yao's bed, picked up Shen Jie's pillow: "Mom asked me to take all her things to my room."

"What the hell? She took the initiative -" Xiao Yao closed his mouth mid-sentence.

"ah?"

As for going to Song Haijian's place in the afternoon, if that doesn't work, just leave it alone. Just say that he is not in the Magic City, so how can he still be tried in absentia?

Just like the allusion of "a suspicious person steals an axe", once the seeds of doubt take root and germinate, many things will collapse like a domino, making people more and more frightened the more they think about it.

After Shen Tianyun returned, Xiao Yao ate the plate of egg batter by himself.

Shen Jie was still concerned about him going to school, and said that "I can't even get a high school diploma, and everything will depend on her in the future." This further proved that the so-called breakup was just a moment of anger.

how so?

Xiao Yao only cooked two dishes, one stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers and one stir-fried eggs with tomatoes.

The girl's beautiful face was filled with displeasure.

From an optimistic point of view, this is good news, because Shen Jie does not plan to move away for the time being.

"?" Xiao Yao pondered the meaning of her words: "You mean-"

"But she still wants to calm down for a while." Shen Tianyun continued.

Also, what does "Mom and Dad are divorced, Mom and I" mean?

Will Shen Jie and I get divorced in the future? Tianyun will follow Shen Jie?

?This is a bit convoluted, although I can understand what it means.

She held pillows, clothes and socks in her hands, and from time to time a few pieces of clothing fell from her hands.

I'm afraid she'll run away when I go shopping for groceries.

"Why is it all lying on her body?" Xiao Yao said: "Go back and tell her that even if I starve to death, I will not let my family starve!"

By the way, didn't I say that I would make Shen Jie's favorite fried shredded pork with green pepper for lunch? Let's go out to buy groceries now and make her a good lunch.

Xiao Yao returned to the soap room, opened the old refrigerator, and found that there was frozen pork in it, but the green peppers were gone.

"Why did you mess with my mother again?"

From a pessimist's perspective, this is bad news, because Shen Jie is really moving away.

Xiao Yao continued to think in his mind while starting to shred the meat.

The phrase "If you break up, I'll be gone too" feels a bit like trying to make up for an impulsive blunder.

"It's that Yu Luying again, right?" Shen Tianyun gritted her teeth and asked, "Were you caught catching a girl on the spot?"

You can't just be a son-in-law and have your old house taken away by others?

Also, if Shen Jie’s family is so rich, why does her daughter live in her old house...?

The more Xiao Yao thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more he thought about it, the more dizzy he became. He returned home with the vegetables in his hand and started to light a fire to cook.

Xiao Yao thought to himself that since Shen Jie was unwilling to tell her child, she must have her own reasons. How could he unilaterally throw the pressure on Tian Yun?

"Children, don't ask too much about adults' matters." In the end, Xiao Yao had to say this.

"Mom has been crying since she came back," Shen Tianyun told the boy.

Shen Tianyun walked forward, kicked Xiao Yao's calf, then stepped on Xiao Yao's foot and rolled it.

Xiao Yao was a little panicked.

"Xiao Yao, I'm warning you," Shen Tianyun interrupted Xiao Yao: "Immediately break up with that Yu Luying."

"She asked you to explain to the school carefully, don't be stubborn, don't deny it, speak it out, and say whatever you have to say." Shen Tianyun tried hard to remember what she wanted to bring: "Don't even get a high school diploma. , everything will lie on her in the future."
