Return to my hometown and accompany me home to see my mother
Is Pinot the returning female tycoon?!
Cheng Sizhou admitted that his understanding of "female tycoons" was too stereotypical. He thought that the patriotic female overseas Chinese who donated so many precious cultural relics in one go would be a middle-aged or elderly woman with homesickness. She went abroad when she was young because of marriage or other reasons, and when she got old, she wanted to return to her roots.
Who would have thought that the “female tycoon” is so young!
No wonder the illegitimate senior brother next door is so eyeing me. He has been single for many years, and if he sees a little female cat passing by under the tree, he will think she is pretty.
"No wonder she always takes a long time to ask for leave to go back to her hometown. It turns out her hometown is abroad." When Wen Zichuan lowered his head to close the lid of the thermos, his expression suddenly darkened. He should have thought that Chen Yilan said that Pinault had "two fathers". Perhaps only in foreign countries can same-sex couples with children be called like this.
When he turned around, he looked at Cheng Sizhou calmly, feeling a little sad and a little envious.
Brother Zhou works at the Lantern Expo and probably won't leave the country for the rest of his life. Forget about going abroad. If he could just move to another city and live in anonymity, he would have followed Liu Shixing six years ago, and there wouldn't be anything for him to do.
"Zichuan, do you know what the concept of the cultural relics she donated is?"
"Huh? What's that concept? I don't understand this."
"Don't you want to buy a big villa? Although we're in the cultural heritage preservation business and shouldn't talk about selling cultural relics, if all the items she donated were sold at auction abroad, conservatively estimated, they'd be enough to buy ten big villas in the best locations in Dengyuan!"
"She's so rich? Then why does she come to work at the Second Voice? Even if she needs heart surgery, selling a few pieces should be enough, right?"
"Who knows? But I admire her very much. She was not tempted by ten large villas and didn't take a penny. She donated all to Dengbo."
"How about I ask for you when she's feeling better?"
"Are you on good terms? After all, this involves privacy, so if it's inconvenient, then there's no need to bother. But I haven't had the chance to ask my senior brother if those cultural relics were leaked out. If so, she would have done a great deed."
Under the influence of Cheng Sizhou, Wen Zichuan also heard stories about some patriots who took pictures of cultural relics that had been lost abroad and donated them back to their country free of charge. Unexpectedly, Pinault was one of them - he almost looked at her as a "female knight".
"Brother Zhou, her family should be well-off, right?"
"Of course. Just to bring back so many cultural relics, we'd probably have to charter a plane."
Wen Zichuan always felt that Pinault was very familiar, but the poor guy’s circle of friends was mostly made up of poor guys. How could he have the ability to get in touch with such a rich girl?
So, although he was quite curious about the donation of cultural relics, he did not want others to misunderstand that he was deliberately getting close to Pinault because of his wealthy family. That would be too despicable.
As it was approaching twelve o'clock, Cheng Sizhou saw that Wen Zichuan was so sleepy that he couldn't even use his phone and was yawning non-stop, so he ran to buy some midnight snacks and bribed the nurses on duty to help set up a bed for Wen Zichuan to rest.
After nightfall, the ward was exceptionally quiet. When Pinot woke up, it was still dark. She turned sideways and saw Wen Zichuan sleeping peacefully not far away.
The other man sat on a low stool with his back to her, turning a page and then glancing at the sleeping person. He probably wouldn't read many words that night, and his dreams and thoughts would probably be filled with Teacher Wen's sleeping face.
The scene before her was so peaceful and beautiful, so beautiful that it seemed to take her back to a few years ago, when her two fathers had just moved in together and they had also experienced such a warm and touching time.
Pinault probably guessed what had happened, so she chose not to disturb him. When she closed her eyes again, tears rolled down her cheeks.
Chen Yilan was a very punctual person, and she arrived just after seven the next day. Nurse Tao told her that Pinault was recovering quickly and was a lucky girl.
In order to make the patient happier, Wen Zichuan took out the signed poster he had carefully kept and gave it to her.
"Thank you, Teacher Wen. I like it very much!" A smile finally appeared on her haggard face. "I'm so sorry to have kept you up all night."
"It's okay, take good care of yourself and get well soon." Wen Zichuan smiled and said goodbye to them.
However, this matter had nothing to do with Cheng Sizhou from beginning to end. Chen Yilan had a strong aura, and when he saw a strange man appear in Pinot's ward, he couldn't help but feel a little hostile.
After Wen Zichuan finished the polite formalities, Cheng Sizhou quickly pulled him back home.
As soon as he entered the house, Master Cheng pushed Teacher Wen, whom he had been thinking about day and night, against the door. With the longing after not seeing her for a week and the resentment of being misunderstood by others, he kissed her hard.
"I prepared a table full of food and flowers, but ended up staying with you in the hospital all night." The little Shiba Inu blinked aggrievedly.
"Pinotte has no family around him, he looks pitiful." Wen Zichuan said and kissed him back.
When their lips parted, Cheng Sizhou hugged him tightly, even tighter than a drowning man would hug a piece of driftwood: "Teacher Wen, please be kind and have some mercy on me, too?"
Wen Zichuan was deeply moved by his pitiful expression, but his mother's reminder last night was still ringing in his ears. He didn't know if he could stop expecting Cheng Sizhou's love and just love him rationally.
But for a poor person like Wen Zichuan, what should he do to do good for him and love him rationally?
"I don't want to pity you."
"Why?!"
"Because, I love you."
Hearing this, the poor little Shiba Inu suddenly burst into laughter as if he had chewed on his favorite big bone.
Cheng Sizhou cheerfully took off his clothes, soaked them in disinfectant, and threw them into the washing machine: "When you come back from the hospital, remember to wash your hands, take a shower, and wash your clothes!"
Wen Zichuan imitated him and followed his instructions. He turned around and heard the sound of a shower in the bathroom. He simply opened the door and rushed in, running to join in the fun under the shower.
"What are you doing! Stop it, or I'll...!" Cheng Sizhou got shampoo in his eyes, and it stung so much that he couldn't open his eyes.
"Can I help you wash? I'll rub your back." Wen Zichuan took out the bath ball and started "playing" with it. In a few seconds, he covered his whole body with white foam.
Cheng Sizhou held his shoulder with one hand and wiped his eyes with a towel with the other. When he opened his eyes again, he saw a drop of water falling from his hair and slowly sliding down his beautiful jawline.
Even if Master Cheng had great determination, he couldn't withstand this move, and the opponent used the strategy of advancing to retreat.
Wen Zichuan's eyes were filled with tears, and he asked with a smile: "Brother Zhou, do you have any plans for the seven-day holiday?"
"...No arrangements yet." Cheng Sizhou held his breath as if he was afraid of being laughed at. The 50,000 yuan was almost all his savings. If he made any more "arrangements", he would be left with nothing after the holiday.
"I want to take a day off first. I'll go see Xu Jiaxuan tomorrow. Should we go out for a walk the day after tomorrow? I want to go back home to see my mom the day after tomorrow. I have work to do the last two days, so I have to go to the company."
"Sure, it's quite fulfilling."
"Brother Zhou, I've met your mother. Can you accompany me home and meet my mother?"
When Cheng Sizhou finished his shower, wiped himself clean and put on his clothes, he realized that "lust blinds one's mind" was such an apt idiom. He couldn't understand why he had just answered with the word "OK".
The day after tomorrow morning, the two went shopping for gifts, then carried them together and took the bullet train back to Fengbo.
Cheng Sizhou's mind was spinning like a windmill. What was going on? On this day of national jubilation and universal celebration, couldn't he be a live-in son-in-law for once?
"Mom, I'm back!" As soon as he entered the yard, Wen Zichuan saw his mother watering flowers on the balcony.
"Xiaochuan—" Lin Hanzhen put down the spray bottle and quickly went to open the door. "I thought you were still taking the afternoon bus."
"It's a holiday, so it's hard to buy tickets. It's better to go early than late, so I bought a morning ticket."
"Hello, Auntie." Cheng Sizhou came out from behind Wen Zichuan and handed the skin care products he bought to Lin Hanzhen.
"Mom, this is my roommate, Cheng Sizhou." Wen Zichuan introduced.
"Okay, okay, Xiao Cheng, come in, come in and sit down!" Lin Hanzhen smiled, and the fine lines at the corners of her eyes hid her beautiful appearance when she was young.
Wen Zichuan rarely brought classmates or friends home. Lin Hanzhen knew that her son was a bit introverted and didn't have many friends to hang out with. Besides, their house was old and shabby, and boys, as a rule, were more or less concerned about their reputation and probably didn't want to embarrass themselves in front of others.
"Xiao Cheng, eat some fruit, eat some fruit. What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll go buy some groceries." She pushed the fruit plate in front of Cheng Sizhou. Seeing that he was handsome and well-dressed, she knew he was a child from a wealthy family.
"Auntie, you take a rest, I'll go buy it." Cheng Sizhou smiled even brighter.
"Mom, I'll go with him to buy some vegetables and snacks." Wen Zichuan said.
Lin Hanzhen couldn't resist them, so she agreed. Fortunately, Zichuan and his roommate got along well, and since they were both in Dengyuan, they could look after each other, so she wasn't too worried.
Wen Zichuan took Cheng Sizhou to the vegetable market first, and then to the supermarket.
The two of them went back together carrying two full bags. Wen Zichuan wanted to keep an eye on him, so he simply walked backwards along the sidewalk.
"Don't go like this, it's too dangerous."
"We'll be home soon, just a moment."
"Hey, let me ask you, why did you abduct me to Fengbo?"
"Didn't I tell you? I want you to meet my mother."
"…Are you going to tell the truth?"
Wen Zichuan stopped and put away the smile on his face: "She will be happy to see you treat me well."
Cheng Sizhou felt relieved: "I thought... Zichuan, let's take it slow, let's take it slow, okay?"
"Brother Zhou, I'm scared."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid that day will never come, and we'll never be able to express our true relationship in this lifetime."
"Don't be afraid, Brother Zhou is here. If you speak out, you're bound to go through a storm, then let me take the lead. I've been through it many times before, so it's no big deal."
"No," Wen Zichuan came over and took his arm. "I think my mother has a good impression of you. Maybe after seeing you a few more times and getting to know you better, she will be able to accept you."
"Being familiar doesn't mean..."
"Brother Zhou, it was at the entrance of this small shop," Wen Zichuan pointed at the shop across the street, "that my father left my mother and me forever. I know her. Compared to the normal marriage and having children, she would want to see me be with the person I love, and never be apart for the rest of my life."
Cheng Sizhou looked at the drainage ditch under his feet. It was less than knee-deep. That year, Zichuan was kicked into the ditch by the woman his father later found, and he never saw his father again.
Perhaps the love between his parents was not perfect, so Zichuan never thought about dating a girl. He just threw himself into her arms so ignorantly, with the beautiful wish of being together for the rest of their lives.
Cheng Sizhou was so lucky to meet him. He didn't dare to let him down, nor did he want to let him down.
