16, Chapter 16 Family
The marriage system was officially launched on Saturday night, and many people wanted to get married on the first day, after all, it was quite memorable. Although it was reasonable to marry Lian Fei'er on this day, it was somewhat unexpected. Moreover, before that, Chen Yicheng did not show any interest in the marriage system, nor did he feel that he would really marry Lian Fei'er.
But this is just a game, and marriage is also a way of playing, and it has nothing to do with reality, so it seems that nothing is wrong.
Chen Yicheng chose the time to mention this matter very well. Although he had been entangled with Lian Fei'er before and ignored Chen Xi, Chen Xi had a couple task with Can Mo Wuhen this time, and he also changed his direction to understand his relationship with Wuqingxue.
In other words, no matter whether Wuqingxue married Lian Fei'er or Chen Xi and Can Mo Wuhen became a love relationship, they all became two relatively independent things, and no one was sorry, no one was right or wrong, and no one was easy to say.
Facing Chen Yicheng's announcement that he would marry Lian Fei'er, Xia Zichen felt very calm. The calmness came from the bottom of his heart, without any entanglement, just like treating an ordinary friend. After the accident in the first second, he only felt that this was right.
In fact, "let go" is not as difficult as you think. It is because you can't pass the level in your heart. Letting go should not be a temporary impulse, and it will be a result determined after a long period of accumulation. When you accept this result, there is no so-called turning back, and letting go will not be so painful or difficult. Maybe you will feel uncomfortable in your heart for a while after the decision, but the process will not last for a long time. Maybe when you wake up, everything will be relieved naturally.
When he found that he had no struggle or reluctance in his heart, Xia Zichen raised his lips slightly, feeling a sense of relaxation and calmness after relief. Now even if Chen Yicheng is going to get married in reality, he will not blink more. Maybe his feelings for Chen Yicheng are not that deep, after all, they have not officially started. However, with his personality, Xia Zichen really doesn't think he will or dare to devote himself to love someone.
He has such a personality and is also indifferent to these things, so he will always be reserved...
Gang [Chen Xi]: Congratulations.
Xia Zichen broke the embarrassing silence in the gang. He didn't know much about Chen Yicheng and Lian Fei'er, but no matter what, he should still congratulate him politely.
Gang [Miss Chrysanthemum]: Congratulations to the gang leader.
Gang [Little Things]: Congratulations, the gang leader also likes to join in the fun.
Gang [Fu Family Matchmaker]: Congratulations, a happy marriage.
...
Then everyone came to their senses and sent blessings one after another.
Gang [Xiao Guai’s Most Beautiful]: Congratulations to the gang leader and the gang leader’s wife. The gang leader’s wife finally made a legitimate statement. This is so that some people will not covet themselves without their own wise desires.
Gang [Baby of Qingcheng]: That's right, the gang leader wants to establish a name for the gang leader's wife, this is true love.
Gang [Chrysanthemum Girl]:...
Gang [small thing]:...
Gang [語美未分类]: Congratulations to the gang leader. Someone wants to make a dungeon, so he is here to form.
Gang [Chrysanthemum Girl]: Me, set me up!
Seeing that the topic in the gang was turned away by the charming light blue, An Jing called Xia Zichen thoughtfully.
Looking at An Jing's hesitant expression, Xia Zichen smiled and said, "Don't worry, you're fine."
"Yeah." Seeing that Xia Zichen had no negative emotions, An Jing was relieved. Although Chen Yicheng was good to Xia Zichen and took good care of him in life, to be honest, he was not optimistic about them and always felt that there was an indescribable inappropriateness.
The cell phone on the table rang. Xia Zichen took the phone, looked at the caller ID, and immediately answered the phone. The smile on the corner of his mouth deepened a little, "Hey, Dad?"
"Well, are you busy?" The voice of my father's reassurance came from over there.
"No, I'm playing games." Xia Zichen did not hide the matter of playing games by himself, "Are you busy today?"
"Well, I can take a break tomorrow." As a gold-medal lawyer in the firm, Xia Yuze is very busy at work and sometimes he doesn't even care about food. Fortunately, Xia Zichen doesn't need him to worry about, and sometimes he even has to worry about his affairs in the opposite direction. "Do you have time on Saturday? Go home for dinner in the evening?"
"Okay." Xia Zichen never refused to have dinner with his father.
"I'll go to school to pick you up that afternoon."
"No, I'll take the subway back by myself. It's not far away, it's quite convenient."
"Okay, what do you want to eat? Dad makes it for you." Xia Yuze's voice was filled with a smile.
"Everything is good." Every time Xia Zichen goes back, whenever he has time, Xia Yuze will cook for him personally. It may have a very complicated dish, but it always has a homey taste.
"Okay, it's cold, wear more clothes when going out." Xia Yuze reminded Xia Zichen.
"I understand." In front of his father, no matter how independent he is, he is still just a child.
After hanging up the phone, I saw Can Mo Wuhen’s words from the secret chat channel.
Secret chat [Canmo Wuhen]: When will the wedding be held on Saturday?
Xia Zichen was slightly stunned for a moment, thinking about how Can Mo Wuhen knew that Chen Yicheng was going to get married, but he saw Xiaoguai's best friend on the World Channel and the others were watching the news of the marriage, so that everyone they knew would come.
Chat with Chen Xi: I don’t know, why?
Secret chat [Canmo Wuhen]: On Saturday night, the people in the gang went to get 25 people to copy and want to take you with you.
Chat with [Chen Xi]: I want to go home for dinner on Saturday night, and it may not be online, so you can go and play.
A secret chat [Canmo Wuhen]: OK, I will take you next time.
Chat with [Chen Xi]: Yes.
As friends, Tang Hui and An Jing naturally have to help arrange wedding matters, post invitations, prepare red envelopes, and buy fireworks... The system will launch several different wedding scenes and various wedding supplies. These things are on the shelves at the beginning of the preheating event and are only for everyone to use after the marriage is opened.
Xia Zichen had already told Shen Yicheng that he might not be able to come back on time to attend the wedding when he was home on Saturday. Chen Yicheng looked at him silently, as if he wanted to see some emotions on his face, but what he got was a calm calmness. Chen Yicheng nodded and said nothing. Xia Zichen didn't have to arrange the wedding with them, but there were still many gifts. He put them in advance and asked An Jing to give it to him on the same day.
On Saturday, Xia Zichen slept until he woke up naturally, ate something casually, and then took the subway to go home.
When I opened the door, the warmth came, and the fragrance of making soup made Xia Zichen raise the corner of his mouth, "Dad, I'm back."
Hearing the movement, Xia Yuze, wearing cotton home clothes, walked out of the kitchen. Seeing Xia Zichen's face, the smile on her face became stronger, "Is it cold? It's windy in the afternoon."
Xia Yuze is very young and looks only thirty years old. Unlike Xia Zichen, who is beautiful with delicate facial features, Xia Yuze is beautiful and elegant, and pleasing to the eye. There seems to be many things hidden in his deep eyes, which are hard to see through and cannot understand. In terms of appearance, Xia Yuze and Xia Zichen have no similarities, but the father and son are exactly the same with that indifferent temperament.
"It's okay." Xia Zichen locked the door, changed into slippers and entered the house.
"I made the soup, washed my hands and came over to drink." Hanging Xia Zichen's coat, Xia Yuze turned around and went back to the kitchen to serve the soup.
It is definitely a pleasure for Xia Zichen to drink the soup made by Xia Yuze in winter. Xia Yuze will not put too much stuff in the soup. It mainly simmers over low heat and slowly boils the fragrance out.
"Dad, just make some simple, don't be too troublesome." Wiping the water on your hands, Xia Zichen took the soup handed by his father.
"It's rare to make a meal for you when you have time, so don't worry." Xia Yuze smiled and pulled open the chairs on the dining table for Xia Zichen to sit and eat. In the past, Xia Zichen was still young, and his work was not too stable. Although he was up early and working late, he insisted on cooking for Xia Zichen every day, he couldn't do anything. Xia Zichen grew up and didn't need him to worry about when he went to college. His work stabilized, but he didn't have much time to cook a meal seriously.
"I'll help you with it later." Most of the time, Xia Yuze was not willing to let Xia Zichen enter the kitchen, and was always afraid that he would accidentally be hot or splashed by hot oil. But as long as Xia Yuze cooks, Xia Zichen would come to the kitchen to watch and help. Xia Yuze didn't let him do it, so he leaned against the door and chatted with Xia Yuze, and he didn't feel bored.
This time Xia Yuze did not refuse. The father and son were busy in the kitchen, making a big table of dishes.
After the work stabilized, Xia Yuze took Xia Zichen away from the house he rented first and bought the current house with a loan. The house is not big, more than 70 square meters, and the two bedrooms and two living rooms are enough for the father and son to live in. Too large space will only make people feel empty and deserted. Since it is home, it is naturally warm and most important.
In the dining room, the father and son sat face to face to eat, talking about school without saying a word.
"Have you had a boyfriend yet?" Like most parents, Xia Yuze will also care about Xia Zichen's relationship.
In high school, Xia Zichen told Xia Yuze that he liked boys. In addition to his initial surprise, Xia Yuze also accepted it calmly. Sexuality is brought from birth and cannot be changed, and there is no need to force it to change. Moreover, as a single father, he still has limited care for Xia Zichen, and he does not want to hurt the child's heart for this matter.
"No..." Xia Zichen lowered his head and ate the braised pork ribs he had picked up for him. "After all, homosexuality-loving is still a minority. Besides, everyone in the school is somewhat taboo about this kind of thing."
"Yes." Xia Yuze nodded in understanding, "Let it go, but you are always alone, and I will suspect that I have raised you too introverted."
"It's nothing." Xia Zichen smiled. Although he is not good at taking the initiative to contact others, his relationship with his classmates is pretty good.
"That's good." Xia Yuze picked him up some dishes and asked him to eat more. "In fact, it's nothing to like boys, but the feelings between the same sex are often more difficult to maintain than the opposite sex. What you have to face is not only him and his family, but also the public opinion in this society."
Xia Zichen didn't say anything. He understood that coming out was not the most difficult, and the most difficult thing was what he had to face in the future.
"I don't want to say much about anything else. Dad will naturally be happy for you when he meets a good person, but if the other party is not worth cherishing, Dad hopes that you know when to give up. Don't miss what is worth cherishing because of temporary obsession and unwillingness." Xia Yuze rarely says such things to Xia Zichen, but now that the child is growing up, he also needs to teach him some emotional principles to avoid Xia Zichen taking detours, which is not worth it.
After a moment of silence, Xia Zichen nodded, "I understand."
Xia Yuze's words made Xia Zichen even more sure that it was correct to give up Chen Yicheng's approach. Even if a person who is not worth cherishing is hard, the result will be futile, without any meaning or benefit, and will not get the desired result.
After all, Xia Yuze is an elder, and he can see many things more clearly than him. Xia Zichen has always respected his father's views and is willing to learn from his father's experience to make his life smoother and more steadily.
As the two were talking, Xia Yuze's cell phone on the coffee table rang. She smiled helplessly at Xia Zichen, and Xia Yuze got up to answer the phone. Xia Zichen continued to eat, feeling that her father's leisurely weekend was about to be ruined again.
As expected, Xia Yuze will go back to the office tomorrow to take on a more difficult case, and he probably won’t be idle in a short time.
"I originally wanted to take you to buy a few sets of winter clothes tomorrow." Putting down my phone, Xia Yuze returned to the dining table.
"It's okay. I haven't worn the winter clothes I bought last year for a few times, so I don't need to buy them." Xia Zichen gave his father a soup, "I will go back to the dormitory tonight, and you will sleep a little longer tomorrow before going to the office."
If he stayed at home tonight, his father would definitely get up tomorrow morning to make breakfast for him, but he would not have a good rest. Instead of having trouble, he might as well go back to the dormitory directly, which is not very far away anyway.
Xia Yuze frowned slightly, obviously not wanting Xia Zichen to go back.
"It's almost the end of the term, so I'll go back and read more books. Just concentrate on your work."
Xia Yuze thought about it for a moment, then nodded, "Call me any time if you have anything."
"Um."
After dinner, Xia Zichen drank coffee with his father again, and then took the subway back to school, and went to the supermarket, but did not let Xia Yuze drive to take it to see him.
When I opened the dormitory door, all three of them were there. This small space was warmer than at home. The computer audio played the background music of the wedding sounds, and the sound of firecrackers mixed in the middle, making everyone lively.
"Are you back?" Seeing him coming back, Tang Hui greeted him.
"Yes." Zuohaomen put the things he bought on the table and prepared to take off his coat.
"Xiao Chenchen, Yi Cheng is getting married, your family members have given you a big gift." An Jing looked at Xia Zichen with a meaningful look, with an indescribable ambiguous smile in her smile.
"What family member?" Xia Zichen didn't understand An Jing's meaning.
"There is no trace of the ink." An Jing's name was bitten very heavily.
Xia Zichen paused his hands with unbuttoned hands, feeling a little confused, "What do you mean?"
An Jing smiled and hooked his hand, then pointed to the computer, laughing and said, "You can't even lose it if you want to."
Tang Hui raised the corner of his mouth, but said nothing. Only Chen Yicheng was silent all the time, as if he was too quiet...
