After the "gorilla farce", everyone rested for a night and boarded the plane back home the next day.
At the airport, they unexpectedly saw Shen's mother.
The woman, who has always been beautiful and elegant, took off her sunglasses with red and swollen eyes. She looked in their direction and shouted excitedly: "Son!"
After that, Shen's mother ran over with her arms open in ten-centimeter high heels.
Shen Yujing was very surprised and couldn't understand his mother's sudden enthusiasm for a while.
Is it because she learned that he was sick abroad? So she was worried and took the initiative to pick him up at the airport?
Although it was awkward, Shen Yujing still reluctantly opened his arms.
Song Yi and Murong Huan huddled together and said, "They have such a great relationship between mother and son."
The next second, Shen's mother ran past Shen Yujing and ran straight to the staff behind them.
Shen's mother's excited voice rang out from behind them: "Where is my son? How is he?"
The staff said: "Madam, please wait a moment, because the gorilla was brought back on your private plane, and you still need to go through some procedures with us..."
Everyone: "..."
Shen Yujing: "..."
His open arms slowly lowered, and he was embarrassed and didn't know where to put them.
Obviously, Shen's mother's gorilla was also sent to the country, so she was not in a hurry to find her biological son.
"Puchi——"
I don't know who laughed first and broke the silence.
Shen Yujing immediately turned his head to look at Song Yi and Murong Huan. They both shook their heads. It wasn't them.
Then Quan Le waved his hands innocently and said seriously, "I'm holding it back...hahaha...I'm trying very hard to hold it back!"
Shen Yujing's eyes quickly swept over them, and then he caught the culprit Xu Che.
Xu Che put away his smile, tried to put on a serious expression and said, "Sorry, it's too funny,
I really couldn't help it." Shen Yujing walked towards Hang Feng, put a hand on his shoulder, and said, "Your brother has a problem with his brain. Hang Feng, I am very touched that you bravely stood in front of me yesterday. I will remember it. From today on, we are real friends. In this case, I can also be your brother reluctantly. You kick Xu Che and follow me in the future."
"Heh." Xu Che chuckled, making his attitude clear.
No matter what conflicts and disagreements he and Hang Feng had, as a brother, he was still much better than Shen Yujing, who was unreliable, and there was no comparison. Moreover
, Shen Yujing's request was too outrageous, and Hang Feng was not that casual...
The boy's voice was hoarse, and he shouted: "Brother."
Xu Che: "???"
Everyone: "!!!"
Shen Yujing was stunned for a second, and then immediately smiled: "Xu Che, did you hear that?"
Song Yi and Murong Huan hugged each other and laughed so hard that they almost fell down.
Xu Che grabbed Hang Feng's shoulder expressionlessly, while Shen Yujing tried his best to protect Hang Feng, and even provoked him and shouted: "Don't touch my brother! This is my brother!"
Shen Yujing looked at Hang Feng again and said solemnly: "From now on, you will be the third child in our family, and Jerry will be your second brother! Don't worry, the brothers will treat you well!"
Hang Feng's expression froze instantly.
Xu Che took a step back and withdrew from the brotherly competition. He looked at Hang Feng and said: "Congratulations."
Quan Le didn't understand and asked: "What did Xu Che congratulate him for?"
Jiang Yiheng pushed his glasses and translated for him: "Congratulations to Hang Feng for becoming the younger brother of a gorilla."
There was laughter, and Hang Feng also took Shen Yujing's hand away in disgust.
This trip ended completely in laughter, but the scar on the boy's wrist may accompany him forever like this friendship.
The whole page of the diary is filled with her name. What he wrote is not just a name, but also his thoughts and obscure feelings that are difficult to express. But he doesn't know if he will have the opportunity and courage to say them again.
Today is good. She likes him to be a friend who integrates into their relationship.
As long as she likes, he can always be like this.
Finally, the diary was closed and put into the deepest layer of the drawer.
Song's house.
After returning home, Song Yi slept for another whole day and didn't wake up until it was dark in the evening.
But what surprised Song Yi was that her father hadn't come back yet.
There was fifty yuan on the table, and a note left by her father, asking her to go out for dinner by herself.
This had almost never happened before, and there was no explanation of what was to be done.
Song Yi picked up her phone and called her father.
Soon, a voice was heard from the other end, "Yi Yi, what's wrong? Did something happen at home?"
"No." Song Yi replied, and then said, "I just want to eat the food you cook. Dad, where have you been? Why haven't you come back so late?"
Song's father paused for two seconds and said, "Another friend asked me to help cook. Her mother came to the capital for the first time and wanted to taste authentic capital cuisine. Dad was free anyway..."
Before Song's father finished his words, the sound of plates breaking was heard over there, accompanied by a man's scolding, "How can you not even wash a bowl properly? You are so clumsy!"
"No more talking, eat something and go to bed early. Dad will be back soon."
Song's father hung up the phone immediately after he finished speaking, without giving Song Yi a chance to speak.
Song Yi frowned, holding her chin with one hand, and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, this was not right. The panic in her father's voice clearly showed that he was hiding something from her.
But the man's words were a key piece of information.
Plates, that should be where the meal was being cooked.
But from his voice, it sounded like a manager scolding his subordinates.
The answer was obvious.
Her father must have found a job outside to supplement the family income, but he didn't want her to worry, so he kept it from her.
After sleeping for a whole day, Song Yi was not sleepy at all, so she sat on the sofa and watched TV waiting for her father to come back.
At half past eleven, the sound of the key turning was heard.
When he saw his daughter still sitting on the sofa with the lights on in the living room, Song's father was stunned for a moment, then asked with a smile: "Why haven't you rested yet?"
Song Yi got up and walked to her father, leaned over and smelled, and there was a very obvious smell of oil smoke.
Song's father asked uncomfortably: "What are you doing, kid?"
Song Yi put her arms around her chest and looked at her father, but she changed to an interrogative expression: "Where did you go to help someone cook? You must have been busy for a few days."
Song's father smiled a little embarrassedly. Sure enough, no matter what, he could not hide anything from his daughter who had been smart since childhood.
So Song's father said, "I found a job in a restaurant. They liked your skills and wanted me to stay and be a chef."
"Really?" Song Yi was a little surprised, but then she felt happy. "How did you figure it out? I was going to find time to talk to you about this."
Song's father said even more embarrassedly, "Last time you brought those kids back for your birthday, they all praised my cooking. Dad thought that your friends have all eaten good food, and if they approve of it, it proves that I'm really good. Dad is not hiding it from you. I just want to tell you after it's officially confirmed."
Song Yi smiled and asked, "That's good. With your skills, even if this restaurant doesn't want you, we will find a better one. By the way, which restaurant is it?"
Song's father said the name of the restaurant, but Song Yi felt something was wrong again.
This is considered a high-end restaurant in the capital, all of which are located inside a shopping mall. With Song's father's personality, he would not take the initiative to go to such a place even if he was looking for a job.
So Song Yi asked, "Why did you think of applying here?"
At this point, Song's father took out a folded flyer from his room and handed it to Song Yi.
He said, "I saw it at the door of my house before. It was handed to me by a young man. There was an application method on it, so I thought about giving it a try. After all, such a big restaurant would not lie to me."
Song Yi opened the flyer with a complicated expression.
First of all, who would hand out flyers in their alley?
Secondly, whose flyer would say "recruiting chefs" at the bottom?
That's right, it was written, it was handwritten! It's ridiculous.
No... this handwriting is really a bit familiar.
So Song Yi took a photo of the flyer with her phone, and searched for the detailed information of the restaurant. It was the expected answer. The owner's surname was Shen.
So Song Yi sent the photo to Shen Yujing, and attached a question mark.
The upper left corner kept showing "input" for a full minute, and finally a [?" was sent
. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a guilty look.
So Song Yi lost her patience and called directly.
On the other side, Shen Yujing almost dropped his phone when he saw the caller ID, but he still answered it immediately.
Song Yi asked him, "Did you come to my house to hand out the flyer?"
Shen Yujing denied it directly, "No, I've never heard of this restaurant."
Song Yi chuckled and asked, "Really? But I checked the restaurant, and the legal representative's name is your father's."
Shen Yujing: "...Maybe I forgot, you know, I never care about these things."
Song Yi said again, "Really? But my dad said that a young man gave it to him."
Shen Yujing blurted out, "That was Xu Che, it has nothing to do with me."
The two fell silent at the same time.
Song Yi only said one word, "Hmm?"
Confession is lenient, resistance is strict, Shen Yujing can only admit it.
He said, "My hair color is too recognizable. Later, I wanted to find Quan Le, but your dad had met him, so he asked Xu Che to come over to help."
Song Yi asked him speechlessly, "Is this the point? So did you give this job to my dad?"
"No, no, no!" Shen Yujing immediately denied it, with a bit of panic in his voice, "I didn't, I really didn't. I just saw that the store was recruiting a chef, so I guided my uncle over there."
"Nothing else?"
"Then... then I said hello there and asked them to give me an interview."
"Nothing else?"
"Really nothing. My uncle's cooking skills are not such that I would give him a backdoor. That's not right, Song Yi, why don't you believe me?" Shen Yujing answered righteously. After he finished speaking, there was no response for a long time.
Shen Yujing couldn't help but feel a little nervous and asked, "Hey, you're not mad at me, are you? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have acted on my own, I just..."
Before he could finish the three words "I want to help you", Shen Yujing heard a "puff" of laughter from the other end of the phone.
Song Yi said in a serious voice, "Shen Yujing, you did a great job."
"Thank you so much, good night."
Until the phone was hung up.
Shen Yujing stood in front of the window, and because he was at a loss, he habitually grabbed his hair and tried to calm himself down.
His golden hair was once again messed up, but the corners of the boy's lips couldn't help but rise, revealing the pride that could not be concealed.
She praised him for doing a good job, and she also said thank you to him.
With a smile in his peach blossom eyes, Shen Yujing reached out to press the corners of his lips in front of the mirror, and kept telling himself in his heart: It's nothing, it's not a big deal, there's no need to be so happy, really not.
But...but this is the first time she has praised him.
It seems that he has finally done something well, and it is something that is enough to make her happy.
If she is happy, then he is happy too.
This feeling is really strange, happier and more satisfying than receiving the most expensive gift in the world.
It's as if from this moment on, his heart began to beat for another person.
It's love.
He really, really likes her.
