Chapter 02 A Big Drama
The visitor is our neighbor Aunt Lin.
The aunt was very happy, with a smug look on her face. She stood at the door and greeted everyone: "Hey! We're eating! You guys can eat whatever you want. I'll just say a few words to Xiao Wu and then I'll leave!"
Then he pulled Wu Limei close enough to whisper in her ear and said in a voice that could be heard throughout the hallway, "Oh, it's OK. The boy was so pleased when he saw Su Su's photo that he even asked for my WeChat ID!"
Well, anyone with long ears can hear it. They are arranging a blind date for Gu Yunsu.
Gu Yunsu's eyes rolled in circles, just like the wheels of a Mercedes Benz, so beautiful.
Xu Zheng didn't have the fate to be the male protagonist, but he had to insist on having the male protagonist's illness. When he heard what his aunt said, he suddenly became depressed, raised his head and sadly drank a whole glass of beer.
Li Jianxiong was very embarrassed and didn't know how to comfort the little brother opposite him.
Li Yan had almost finished eating, so he put down his bowl and chopsticks and focused on watching the show.
Wu Limei at the door was also embarrassed, and perhaps a little guilty. She looked at Xu Zheng and leaned forward slightly, wanting to push Aunt Lin out quietly.
But Auntie Lin was not a pushover. As she spoke, she glanced at the table. After a few glances, she felt something was wrong: "It's such a grand occasion. What kind of guests are these?"
Wu Limei hesitated: "Colleague Su Su."
"Yo~" Auntie Lin drew out a long tone and asked in a sinister tone, "What kind of colleague is this that is being treated so well?"
Wu Limei just laughed dryly: "Look at what you said."
Auntie Lin didn't care whether others could hear her or not. In fact, Gu Yunsu felt that people with her histrionic personality just wanted to attract everyone in the building to watch her performance. She was snorting in her heart, not because Wu Limei had arranged a date for her without her knowledge, but because she had found such a person as a matchmaker - how could she meet someone with a soft voice!
Auntie Lin's face darkened, and she started to scold Wu Limei: "Xiao Wu, you are wrong. Su Su already has a boyfriend, and you still want me to introduce her to you? Aren't you kidding me? The man has agreed, but you have a problem. How can I explain it to him? Just say you were just kidding? Is that reasonable? Ah? I have to throw my reputation as a golden matchmaker into your hands!"
Auntie Lin's mouth was clicking like a machine gun, very aggressive.
Wu Limei couldn't explain it clearly, so she just smiled and apologized: "It's not what you said. Look, I still have guests..." Then she suddenly had an idea and quickly ran back to the table, took a plate with four or five big crabs and stuffed them into Aunt Lin'er's mouth. "Let's have a good chat tomorrow, okay? It's not what you think!"
——Like a scumbag who is poor in words.
Finally, Auntie Lin walked out of the live broadcast room cursing.
Wu Limei walked back to the dining table like an eternal sinner.
Gu Yunsu gave her mother a cold smile.
Li Jianxiong was the only one in the audience who was concerned about his wife. He patted her on the shoulder, deliberately changed the subject, and comforted her: "It's okay, it's just a few crabs."
This is probably true love. Gu Yunsu saw it all and felt deeply moved. If Wu Limei killed someone one day, it would definitely be Li Jianxiong who stabbed her with the knife.
In today's society, blind dates are definitely not a popular way for young people to find a romantic partner, but at Gu Yunsu's age, his acceptance of this is no longer so low.
She felt angry and ashamed because she never hesitated to assume the worst of others. Imagine what this "humiliated and tortured" Xu Zheng would say when he woke up?
"You act like you're so noble in front of me, but are you really that short of men? Do you want a man so much? I knew from the beginning that you're hungry!"
This was an insult, she thought, and there was a great possibility that it would happen. She thought of eight million possibilities along this path, and none of them would allow her to accept Xu Zheng's comments calmly.
What made her angry was that Wu Limei had no idea how much trouble her well-intentioned behavior had invisibly caused her daughter, although Gu Yunsu also knew that all this might just be her imagination, and in any case, it could not be blamed on her mother.
But she was angry, and chose to put the blame on her mother for everything.
After all, every irresponsible daughter knows that her mother is there to blame.
However, the good news is that Wu Limei's arrogance was extinguished and the situation was reversed in an instant. She, who had just been indifferent and wanted to speak freely, was now forced to look at her daughter's face, which made Gu Yunsu feel a little relieved.
C'est la vie.
But just as Wu Limei in the room was calming down, everyone turned around and saw Xu Zheng had gotten drunk when no one was watching. He clinked glasses with Li Jianxiong in a daze and smiled happily: "Uncle, I toast to you, Shit!"
As he said this, he tilted his head back and drank the entire glass of beer down his throat.
Wu Limei was a little worried: "Is he drunk?"
Li Jianxiong nodded and said, "He drank from those four empty bottles."
Li Yan, who had been standing quietly by the side, shook the Jiannanchun in his hand and added, "There is still a quarter of the liquor."
Then the three of them looked at Gu Yunsu at the same time, as if waiting for her to give a summary.
She really had no ideas and could only continue to roll her eyes.
"Why are you looking at me?" she said evasively, "I didn't ask him to drink it."
"But this..." Wu Limei couldn't think of a solution, so she patted Xu Zheng's arm, "Xiao Xu? Are you okay, Xiao Xu?"
As a result, Xu Zheng, who had been keeping his head down and not saying anything, was like a corpse. He waved away Wu Limei's hand and said angrily: "I'm fine! I... I'm not fine! I'm tired!"
Xu Zheng started to get drunk and act crazy.
"Aunt, it's not easy for me! I went to someone's house and pestered them, trying to please them in every way, and I didn't care about my face at all!" He expressed his feelings passionately and emotionally. When he talked about the sad part, he burst into tears again, "What did I do wrong to punish me like this? I just want to take responsibility!" He grabbed Gu Yunsu and questioned her, "Ah? Tell me! Am I wrong? What on earth do you dislike about me? Didn't we have a great time that night?! Have you forgotten everything? You don't recognize me when you put on your pants?"
The conversation was so fluent that Gu Yunsu had reason to suspect that the other party was pretending to be crazy because of alcohol.
But Xu Zheng's misty little eyes seemed to be really out of focus. He looked at Gu Yunsu indifferently, like a mentally retarded person, leaving no possibility for communication.
So my question is, when your private life, or more precisely, your sex life, is exposed to your family so defenselessly, what should you do next so that you can move on from this incident as if nothing had happened?
The eyes of the whole family, young and old, never left her. Wu Limei stammered a few times and was about to speak.
She is running out of time and options.
In a hurry, Gu Yunsu had only one idea, which was to pretend that Xu Zheng had never spoken, and then asked Wu Limei very naturally: "What do you want to say today?"
"Um?"
The couple sitting across the table were stumped by the question for a moment. They looked at Xu Zheng and then at her. Finally, they decided to go with the flow and tacitly acknowledge that Xu Zheng never existed.
Because they were not interested in their daughter's sex life in the past, and they don't want to know in the future - some paths are destined to be explored alone, and parents cannot participate.
"Well, I do have something to say." Wu Limei took over the conversation, and Gu Yunsu could tell from her slightly excited look that after being constantly interrupted all night, Wu Limei might be going crazy. She was even grateful to her daughter for giving her the opportunity to speak.
Wu Limei held Li Jianxiong's hand, and the couple began to look at each other again.
Please save your energy...
Gu Yunsu sighed in his heart, looking at the expressionless Li Yan beside him, and judging by himself, he thought that the boy was already a pervert, and after being disgusted by this newlywed couple, he would become crazy to what extent.
The old couple repeated the process of smiling at each other, and then turned to look at their son and daughter: "Su Su, Yan Yan ah..."
You know what, this whole thing actually makes me a little nervous.
Gu Yunsu held his breath, waiting for the moment when the mystery would be revealed.
Then Xu Zheng beside him shouted: "Gu Yunsu, I like you!"
The whole paragraph collapsed.
The atmosphere of suspense disappeared completely.
Xu Zheng was still talking: "Gu Yunsu, what's so great about you?!"
Wu Limei was about to cry: "Why don't you deal with him first."
Xu Zheng even sang: "Come on~Have fun~Anyway, there is——"
——He didn’t finish the second half of the sentence because he was hit on the neck by Gu Yunsu and fell on the table.
Gu Yunsu suppressed his anger, wiped his sweat as calmly as possible, looked up at Wu Limei and said, "Go ahead."
Wu Limei was shocked by Gu Yunsu's skills and was a little dazed. She reflexively said "Oh" twice before she came back to her senses and looked at Li Jianxiong again.
Xu Zheng moved slightly on the table.
Gu Yunsu felt a headache and pressed the back of Xu Zheng's neck, as if he was pressing a time bomb, and said angrily: "There is no time for this nonsense, speak harder!"
Wu Limei finally nodded as if she had finally come to her senses: "Your Uncle Li and I..." She was halfway through her words when she shook her head, reorganized her words, and directly uttered four words, "I'm pregnant!"
…
…
…
The human brain is really hard to analyze, because at this moment, the little man in Gu Yunsu's mind, for some reason, started to sing: "I can't fly out of this colorful world. It turns out that I am just a drunken butterfly..."
It's still an electronic music version, with rhythmic movements and drum beats one after another.
Gu Yunsu stared with his eyes wide open, and it took him several seconds to realize that he should close his mouth. The hand that was pressing on Xu Zheng also loosened unconsciously.
Is this true or just a lame joke from the old couple?
As Gu Yunsu looked at the two people, some obvious information that she had overlooked flashed through her mind:
In the kitchen, Li Jianxiong habitually took out a bottle of red wine that Wu Limei liked to show her, but was "beaten" by the other party. Li Jianxiong did not get anxious but laughed and patted his wife's shoulder.
One night, Wu Limei reflexively opened the box of antihypertensive drugs, then remembered something and put the drugs back where they belonged.
There is also Wu Limei's growing waistline, her declining sleep quality, and her habit of touching her belly from time to time...
When she was a child, Gu Yunsu always answered questions incorrectly due to carelessness. When the teacher criticized her, she was not convinced and thought she was a world-class observer.
But it was not until she was so old that she was willing to admit that she was so careless that she turned a blind eye to many things, such as her boyfriend's mobile phone, which was always placed face down on the table, and the changes in her mother's menstrual period - she even thought Wu Limei was menopausal!
She looked at the 33% happiness, 33% uneasiness, and 34% rebellious look on the two people's faces, and felt that she could conclude with 100% certainty that the two people were not lying and that they would want this child.
Before this, Gu Yunsu had actually speculated on what the two were going to say. Among all the speculations, he had even joked that they were not going to create a human being. But after thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing and scolded, "Show some respect!"
So this thought flashed through my mind, without even turning, and flew straight out of my brain.
She glanced at Li Yan unconsciously and found that the boy remained as calm as ever, without any change.
He's a ruthless person, she curled her lips.
Wu Limei and Li Jianxiong looked at her expectantly, as if expecting her to say something auspicious.
What auspicious words could she say? It's good that she didn't swear when she got excited.
She frowned and asked again to confirm: "What is it? Who is pregnant?"
Beside her, Xu Zheng, who had been freed from his shackles, suddenly became excited again: "Who's pregnant!" His eyes slowly focused on Gu Yunsu, "You're pregnant? Mine?" He grinned foolishly and made a foolish comment, "I hit the nail on the head! I'm going to have a son!"
This is a fake bar to drink!
Gu Yunsu frowned and pressed his temples, hesitating whether to punch the opponent again.
This time, Wu Limei took action before her daughter did. She slapped the man on the head, as if to vent all her anger of the night on Xu Zheng, and shouted, "It's me! I'm pregnant!"
