Nanke Yifu Chapter 24

Wild geese come and go (5)

“Okay.” Chi Fu said, “Whatever you want to prepare, I will accompany you.”

Yan Laixi thought for a while and said, “I don’t know.”

“How about…” Chi Fu asked tentatively, “Let’s discuss the contract first? Are you willing?”

“Of course.” Yan Laixi agreed. The two of them had made up the rules anyway. Watching Dian Chi Fu Farewell, his brain was busy writing something that would be difficult to deal with in the future. “Have you told your parents about the meeting? If so, think about it today, register tomorrow morning, and prepare some things. You and I will go see your parents in the afternoon. Don’t let them wait too long… Isn’t it too urgent?”

“It’s a bit too hasty.” Chi Fu nodded, “I haven’t told them yet. I’m asking if you want to get to know each other first. Just relax. My parents are not very serious people. They should be uncomfortable if you make it too formal.”

“Well, we’ll talk about this later.” Yan Laixi said, “It’s indeed too hasty to finalize the contents of the deed in one day. You need to think about it carefully.”

“Then think about it slowly.” Chi Fu said, “Let me know when you think about it. Anyway, I have already thought about it.”

“Then let’s go register now? Just do what you want. I have nothing to add.” Yan Laixi said and looked towards the door.

Chi Fu pulled his head back and asked, “Why are you so anxious? Don’t you even ask me what kind of overlord regulations I want to sign with you? What if I sell you?”

“You can’t sell it. Although the regulations are self-determined, they are not without review.” Yan Laixi shook his head, shook his hand away, and asked, “So, what kind of overlord regulations do you want to sign with me?”

Chi Fu: “I want you to always like me, never separate from me, and never doubt that I want to separate from you.”

“There’s really no need to rush, let’s not go either.” Yan Laixi leaned back and lay down on the bed, “One has no request, and the other has a request but will definitely not be able to pass it. It will be in vain if we go.”

“Can’t you?” Chi Fu twisted his body and propped up the bed with his arms so that he could look at Yan Laixi and talk, “Then what do you usually need to sign to form a contract? There is only one clause written in the contract between my parents, so it has no reference value.”

“Do you really have no common sense or are you pretending to be cute here with me?” Yan Laixi raised his hand and pinched the tip of his nose that was still a little red, “What was written in your parents’ deed?”

“I forgot the original words, but the general meaning is that if you have a child in the future, you must not abandon it for any reason.” Chi Fu paused for a moment, and seeing that the expression on Yan Laixi’s face did not change, he continued, “The child must be raised by two people together until the child has the ability to live independently. If he breaks his promise, he will be treated as illegal abandonment.”

“Well, you can have this.” Yan Laixi crossed his arms on his chest and looked at the ceiling and said, “The most important things should be the children and joint property. There are also emotional issues, such as how to solve this situation if one party is not polyamorous and does not know it, and the other party is in two boats.”

“Then what I just mentioned is not an emotional issue?” Chi Fu asked.

Yan Laixi explained with a smile: “You can say, if I don’t like you anymore, or I separate from you, you ask me to compensate you for something practical, or to be punished in some practical way. Even if Zero shows up in person to deal with it, even the most omnipotent god can’t control whether I like you or not, right? But you can choose to use some means to make me like you?”

“No, no, no, no.” Chi Fu shook his head like a rattle, “It’s all done through some means, so what’s the point of liking it?”

“Then forget it.” Chi Fu thought for a while and said, “If one day you don’t want me anymore, I will cry, drag you and won’t let you go, and flood the whole house with tears. If you insist on leaving, we will drown in my tears together. It can be regarded as suicide for love.”

Yan Laixi: “Before you drown to death, you have to cry into a mummy. You can’t die for love.”

Chi Fu was very dissatisfied with his joke: “Then just don’t let me go!”

“Okay, okay,” Yan Laixi responded, “I won’t let you go.”

“Then the next category…common property, I can skip this.” Chi Fu said, “Whatever you want is yours.”

Yan Laixi sighed: “Don’t be so generous at this time, or you may be deceived by me and lose your fortune.”

“You won’t cheat me.” Chi Fu curled his lips, “You will only make yourself suffer, and isn’t this common property? What’s mine is mine.”

“Love” and “money” have been mentioned in these two sentences, and now there is only one “responsibility” left. The biggest “responsibility” between partners is the child. What should be done if the child’s abnormality makes raising the child a task that both of them cannot bear? If separated, who will the child live with more, how to share the burden of raising the child, etc.

But the premise of these is that they choose to have a child.

“Do you… want a child?” Yan Laixi asked. He was a little worried, worried that Chi Fu would nod, worried that Chi Fu would say he wanted to.

Because he really doesn’t want a child.

It’s not a matter of money, energy, or not liking children.He can’t guarantee that he can give his children a good growing environment, he can’t guarantee that he can be a good caregiver, and he can’t accept accidents.To be more specific, for example, he doesn’t know what to do if the child’s abnormality really makes him unable to raise the child, he doesn’t know whether he can teach him correctly, and he cannot accept that due to unforeseen natural and man-made disasters, the child will suffer from illness, disability, and even pass away, or he will become a drag on the child.

In fact, I just don’t want to take responsibility and risks.

Fortunately, although the reasons were different, Chi Fu and his conclusions were consistent.

“If you don’t want it, it’s just the two of us. Why do we have to have a small one to get in the way.” After Chi Fu said, he changed his mind and said, “Do you want it? If you want one, you can have one. The child is quite cute, but you can only have one, and you can’t raise more. If you really want it, consider adopting it? If you raise it yourself, you don’t know what the child’s abnormality will be, and it won’t be easy to handle if it is really serious.”

Yan Laixi: “Why do you talk about whether you want a child or not as if you want to pick up a wild cat or dog on the roadside?”

“Isn’t this just talk?” Chi Fu hesitated and asked, “You don’t really want it, do you?”

“I have some thoughts.” Yan Laixi’s desire to amuse others surfaced again, and he pretended to say, “How about adopting one? Both of us should be able to meet the adoption requirements. Try to find a healthy child.”

“Ah… also… we can’t just look at whether we are healthy or not, but also look at other things. Well…” Chi Fu stumbled as he spoke, obviously not expecting Yan Laixi’s answer, “If you want to adopt, you need to prepare in advance, have contact with the child, and also see if the child can like me… Do you have a child you want to adopt? Or…”

“None of them.” Yan Laixi interrupted him, “Relax, I’m just teasing you, I don’t want children.”

Chi Fu let out a long breath: “You scared me to death.”

Within two seconds, he asked carefully: “You really don’t want it?”

Yan Laixi was helpless: “Do you want me to want it or not?”

Chi Fu: “If you want me, I hope you want it. If you don’t want me, I hope you don’t want it.”

Yan Laixi: “I don’t want it.”

“That’s great.” Chi Fu lay down next to Yan Laixi, “You scared me twice today. You are not allowed to scare me again this week.”

“Then I’ll scare you the day after tomorrow?”

Chi Fu: “Huh?”

“Today is Saturday.” Yan Laixi said, “The day after tomorrow is next week.”

“…”

“Don’t scare me anymore!”

Since he agreed to Chi Fu’s meeting with his parents, Yan Laixi has asked about this matter at least two or three times a day.First, I asked if I had told them and what their attitude was. After I was sure that I wanted to meet, I asked about the time. When the time was determined, I asked whether I should go home or go out. After I got the answer that it was okay, I struggled for a while. I was afraid of causing trouble to others when I went home, and I was afraid that others would not want to go out when I went out.In the end, Chi Fu solved the problem by saying that his father wanted to show off his skills in cooking and asking Yan Laixi if he would like to go to his parents’ house.

And of course the one that runs throughout – what gifts to bring.It was the first time to meet, and it was such a deliberately created meeting. It didn’t feel right not to bring some gifts, not to mention that it was too inappropriate to go to someone else’s house and walk in empty-handed.

But Yan Laixi only asked the question “What do your parents like?” because Chi Fu said he wanted to “treat everyone equally.”He said that his parents also asked him what Yan Laixi liked, and if they told Yan Laixi, they would also tell their parents. In other words, you could just bring some fruit drinks and go over to have a meal and chat. If you went to the trouble of preparing a gift, then reciprocate the favor.

Finally, under Chi Fu’s pressure, the meeting time was scheduled for the afternoon. Yan Laixi stayed up until noon that day, then got up from the bed, carefully packed himself and went to the supermarket.

When you go to a supermarket, you have to be with a supervisor. This one is available at home, but that one is not used. The more expensive ones are not allowed to be seen at all. You can only buy some ordinary fruits and drinks.Oh, yes, the latter was a “task” specially left for him by Chi Fu. I have to remind him that there must be soup at home, so don’t buy too much.

Yan Laixi thought about it and planned to buy some small bottled drinks. If he wanted to drink, he could open a can and drink it in two gulps without occupying his stomach. If he didn’t want to drink it, he could put it aside and it wouldn’t be in the way.

Facing the dazzling array of shelves, Yan Laixi began to pick and choose.The first is soda. If it sprays when you open it, it will be difficult to clean everywhere, so be the first to eliminate it.Next is juice, canned ones are definitely not as good as freshly squeezed ones, and he also bought fruits, including coconuts, so there is no need to buy juice.It’s strange to eat and drink coffee, whether it’s bitter or sweet. He doesn’t drink wine or tea himself. He doesn’t consider these two. If someone hands it to him, he won’t drink it at that time.There are many functional drinks and flavored drinks that he doesn’t drink or doesn’t like. Excluding them in the same way, there are still soy milk, almond milk, and various dairy products. Yan Laixi himself doesn’t like the former… Anyway, it can be regarded as milk, almost, and the drinks may not be used when making soup. Anyway, he doesn’t know what the other party likes. Yan Laixi hesitates whether to choose the one he likes.

“How about yogurt?” he asked Chi Fu.

Chi Fu nodded and said he thought it was good: “Okay, if you don’t want to drink it, you can just make some fruit to eat after dinner.”

Yan Laixi suddenly realized, yes, drinks are not just for drinking.

“Let’s buy another bottle of Sprite?” Yan Laixi suggested while putting small bottles of canned yogurt in the shopping cart, “Buy a watermelon, a lemon, and make iced Sprite watermelon.”

“You should take a break. Are coconuts and watermelons heavy?” Chi Fu rejected his suggestion. “And after you buy it, why don’t you leave it there for me or my parents to cut? Don’t you think it’s easy for watermelon juice to get everywhere at this time?”

“Buy…” As soon as Yan Laixi said one word, he was interrupted by Chi Fu.

“You can’t just buy cut ones. There’s no way to eat the fruit and Sprite watermelon together. It won’t taste all in your mouth, and you can’t eat that much. After buying the yogurt, it’s almost time.” Chi Fu said, picking up the yogurt that Yan Laixi had already put in the shopping cart, and checked again. After seeing different fruit icons printed on each packaging can, he asked, “Don’t you not drink yogurt with fruit pieces?”

That’s right, for Yan Laixi, even if fruit appears in yogurt, it can only be in the form of fruit.

Yan Laixi: “But most people like to drink with fruit, right?”

“But you don’t like to drink it.” Chi Fu picked through it, put two cans with fruit pieces back, picked up a few more plain ones, and pushed the trolley to the checkout counter regardless of Yan Laixi’s resistance.

It was Yan Laixi who paid the bill, and Chi Fu would not be polite to him on such a matter. Before leaving, Yan Laixi went to the bathroom and checked in the mirror for a long time that there was nothing wrong with his clothes and hairstyle. Then he and Chi Fu carried a bag of things and walked to Chi Fu’s parents’ house.

When he came downstairs, Yan Laixi refused to go in. He asked Chi Fu to help him see if his clothes were neatly arranged on the back, and asked Chi Fu if his hair was messy. He checked it from head to toe, and then started asking what he should say when they meet later. He was worried about what if he couldn’t answer the conversation.

Chi Fu interrupted Yan Laixi and asked him to look at him and take deep breaths with him to calm down. He led him to sit beside the flower bed, but Yan Laixi refused, saying that he was afraid of soiling his clothes.

There was no other way, so Chi Fu had to take him to a farther location, where there was a bench.

The two sat side by side. Chi Fu held Yan Laixi’s hand and asked, “Why are you so nervous? Are you scared?”

“A little bit.” It was rare that Yan Laixi took the initiative to tell the truth without using his guidance or tricks.

“What are you afraid of?” Chi Fu continued to ask, “Are you afraid that it will be difficult for my parents to get along with you?”

Yan Laixi shook his head: “Why are your parents so difficult to get along with?”

Chi Fu: “Then what are you afraid of?”

Yan Laixi clasped his fingers, thought for a while, and said, “I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake. I’m afraid I’ll leave a bad impression on them, and I’m afraid they won’t like me.”

“It’s just a meal, what mistake can I make?” Chi Fu grabbed Yan Laixi’s hand, shook it, and said, “You said it yourself, how could my parents not get along with each other. Then if I like you so much, how could my parents not like you.”

“This is different.” Yan Laixi curled his lips and said, “You were raised by them, and your personality will of course be affected to a certain extent, but you are you and they are them. Just because you like me does not mean that the people around you will also like me.”

“I will like you.” Chi Fu looked at Yan Laixi and said seriously, “Do you really not know how charming you are? With so many people who like you and the long queue at the autograph signing, isn’t it enough for you to have this self-knowledge?”

“They like Nanke.” Yan Laixi said, “But it is Yan Laixi who is about to meet your parents.”

“But Yan Laixi is Nan Ke.” Chi Fu affirmed, “And Yan Laixi is much more lovable than Nan Ke.”

Yan Laixi smiled helplessly: “You think so just because you like me, and… although I feel a little embarrassed to say this, not everyone is beauty-conscious.”

“It’s not just because of your face, you are very good.” Chi Fu said, “You are gentle, polite, well-spoken, and well-behaved… Beauty is only the most conspicuous of all your advantages, and this is the most conspicuous only because it is an advantage that is visible at a glance.”

Even though Chi Fu always spoke sweet words when he was around him, Yan Laixi still felt that his cheeks were a little hot at the moment: “Stop praising me.”

Chi Fu: “I want to praise you. From now on, I will praise you a few times every day when I have nothing to do. Otherwise, you will always belittle yourself.”

Yan Laixi: “How can I…”

“You have it.” Chi Fu lowered his head, looking a little disappointed, “Originally I wanted to introduce you to a few of my best friends, but now I think I might as well forget it. Meeting them once is not enough to bother you.”

“No need to bother. I’m quite willing to get to know the people around you. I feel like I’ll be closer to you this way.” Yan Laixi said, “Qiuye and I often talk about you, but Qiuye doesn’t like to make friends, otherwise I would introduce you to them.”

“That’s right.” Chi Fu said, “My original intention was just to let you know me better. I was also thinking about whether my family could be considered your family, but it made you so nervous. I wouldn’t have mentioned it if I had known about it.”

The little pull on the back of the neck looked like a hanging puppy tail, and the warm-colored hair seemed to have lost its luster. Yan Laixi quickly comforted him: “It’s okay for me. I shouldn’t be like this when I meet friends. You know, I don’t know what an ordinary family is like, soIt’s a little bit… I don’t know what to do.Should I be more polite or more comfortable, should I be more respectful or just like other people? I don’t know the right answer, but I still know the answer that won’t cause problems.It’s always right to be careful.”

“You don’t have to think about this deliberately.” Chi Fu said, “I just have more male caregivers than you, but I don’t have as many brothers and sisters as you. Everything else is the same. My mother is the same as your mother. When I was a child, she would put me to sleep, care about my body, occasionally ask about my current situation, and prepare my favorite meals for me when I come home. So you just need to face them and get along with them in the way you are used to.”
