Why Do You Have The Nerve To Show Off Your Face To Me After We Meet Again? Chapter 13

Shen Liangyan followed him through the door. He glanced back and forth but didn’t find anyone else there. The smell of food wafted over. There were a few dishes on the dining table on the left. It looked like they had just been cooked and there were no insulation measures. Gu Changshi walked to the room and shouted to you to wash your hands first. I put my schoolbag in the study and came out immediately.
It was a very strange scene, Shen Liangyan did not act.
Gu Changshi came out and saw that he was still at the entrance. He took him to the kitchen sink to wash his hands, and then washed two more bowls of rice.Shen Liangyan didn’t speak during the whole process and just let Gu Changshi do what he wanted.
The two faced each other at the dining table. Gu Changshi took a piece of pickled fish to Shen Liangyan and said, “I don’t know what you like to eat, so I asked the chef to make a few home-cooked dishes. I see you made fish before, how about this?”
Shen Liangyan came to his senses and thanked him, then picked up the fish fillet and ate it. As expected of the specially hired chef, the head caretaker was eagerly waiting for his feedback, silently praising the taste as he raised the corners of his lips.
Gu Changshi heard it was very good, and followed the music, adding a few more pieces of fish and other dishes, “Then you eat more, try these too. Do you have any taboos, are there any dishes you like or dislike? You can pay more attention next time.”
After hearing this, Shen Liangyan’s eyes naturally fell on the bowl of fish soup. He paused and said, “I don’t eat coriander, but everything else is fine. I’m not picky about food.”
Gu Changshi followed his eyes and looked at the coriander in the bowl. He let out an awkward laugh and picked out the coriander alone.
“It’s okay, it’s not that I don’t eat it, I just don’t like it.”
“I know, isn’t it that not liking to eat coriander is engraved in your genes? You can’t force it. But is it hereditary? Your children in the future may not eat it either, hahahahahahahahaha.”
Shen Liangyan ate very politely, which made Gu Changshi think that he might be too noisy, so he had to restrain himself.
The air was quiet for a few seconds, and Shen Liangyan said, “I don’t know, but my mother doesn’t eat coriander.”
Gu Changshi secretly thought something was wrong, and was still trying to formulate words on how to comfort him.
Shen Liangyan took a few mouthfuls of food, his voice was thick and muffled. After swallowing the food, his voice was still very soft, but you could hear what he said clearly. He said: “When I first entered kindergarten, my home was warm for a short time. After a while, my mother said that my father had changed his bad habits and had been working in the loading and unloading team for a long time so that I could go to school. That was the best time for me to see my father treat my mother. When my friends and I came home from school, my father would come back at this time.”
“The most memorable day was the most ordinary day. My mother was cooking in the kitchen and asked my father to help me put my schoolbag. She then fried some vegetables and asked us to wash our hands and prepare for dinner. My father would help serve the dishes and serve the rice. The three of us talked at the table and I laughed happily with them. After the meal, my father would wash the dishes and then go out to load the goods. My mother was working. She said she had received some translation manuscripts online, and I was doing my homework…”
Shen Liangyan chuckled softly, “It just happens, isn’t it? It’s very similar to what happened just now. Forgive me for suddenly becoming weird. This is not my usual self.”
Gu Changshi took a bowl of fish soup alone and put it in his hand. “I’m surprised too. I hope you only remember these good times. The bad ones are over. Look, you are great now. You have a grandpa and friends, and you are very happy, right? And me, I will wash the dishes later. You can come to eat every day, and I will wash the dishes every day.”
Shen Liangyan was very grateful that he could understand her. His tone was not sympathy, but maybe he was proud of him now, and maybe also a little bit distressed.
After the meal, Gu Changshi was washing dishes in the kitchen according to his words. His movements were a little unfamiliar. Shen Liangyan leaned on the door and watched his clumsy movements. He would look over from time to time and smiled sheepishly.
“Do you want to continue hearing the next story?”
“If you can trust me, I’d love to hear it.”
“For my mother’s departure, I was more happy for her than resentful. The harmonious time did not last for a few years. Shen Youzhi started gambling again without telling his family. He drank too much when he was frustrated and was violent when he came home. In order to protect me, my mother couldn’t resist and suffered a lot of injuries. She wanted to escape and took me away many times.None of them succeeded, and there would only be more brutal beatings and scoldings. He said that with me, there is hope. If I can inherit his superior learning ability, he will definitely be admitted to a famous school, stand out, and stand firm where he fell. He already knows how to break the situation. If he can prove it once, he will succeed again.”
“At first, the money my mother earned would be used to pay off debts. Because Shen Youzhi became more and more vicious, she started to save money. She wanted to escape from here. I know I can’t leave. If I leave, no matter where it is, he will come to find me. Mom will not be free as she is now.”
“This morning, there was a bus going to the coastal provinces for work. My mother did not take me to school, but took me to the fork in the village to wait. Shen Youzhi was supposed to be hungover, but that day he was walking this way from the fork in the road, and his pace was unsteady. A vehicle came from the other way, and before it could stop in front of us, Shen Youzhi would see us in the next second. I was glad that I pushed my mother away and bought her time to get on the bus safely.”
“I ran towards Shen Youzhi and shouted, ‘I’m almost late, send me to school quickly’, which successfully attracted his attention. I called him dad affectionately, eager to awaken his remaining fatherly love. He slapped me, scolded me, scolded my mother, and asked where my mother died. At this moment, the car started to drive past us. I could clearly see my mother’s face lying on the car window. I smiled happily at her, smiling from the bottom of my heart.”
“Two years later, my mother filed for divorce, but the custody rights were not won. I heard that she had a stable life. I didn’t want to disturb her new life. I just wanted to know that she was living well. Shen Youzhi fled here to avoid debts, and my grandfather and I lived a better life.”
“No more, that’s it.”
“Look, things have been moving in a good direction. What kind of person do you think you will be in the future?” Gu Changshi asked this question without commenting on his past.
“I don’t pursue great achievements, I just want to take good care of grandpa.”
“I don’t seem to have a very far-reaching goal. My recent small goal is to study hard and shock the world. You are allowed to call me naive this time.”
Shen Liangyan was amused by him and shook his head helplessly.
Gu Changshi walked to the sofa and sat down. He patted the seat next to him and motioned for Shen Liangyan to come over, “Want to watch a movie? You can relax for a while during the holiday. Just treat it as a reward for studying hard today.”
Shen Liangyan did not refuse and asked him: “Do you have any recommendations?”
“I don’t know, is there anything you want to watch? What kind of movies do you like?” Gu Changshi controlled the remote control to choose a movie.
“I don’t know. I spend most of my time with my grandpa watching Kung Fu movies on the movie channel, but today I want to watch something relaxing.”
Gu Changshi clicked on one and said, “How about this? Cats should be very healing.”
“Okay.”
The screen zoomed in, revealing a black cat. The two of them didn’t know much about Chinese comics, but this one was unexpectedly good. There was no cliché love or stereotyped family affection.
The two would laugh tacitly when they saw some humorous jokes, and as the plot progressed, they would also contact each other to discuss.The sky is getting dark, the room lights are soft, and the movie screen is jumping, making people not notice the passage of time.
The movie ends, with the credits playing and the credits rolling on the screen.
Gu Changshi stood up, stretched, and commented on the movie: “I’m sure, this is my favorite movie this year.”
“Yeah, not bad.”
“I’ve been sitting here for so long, why don’t you go out for a walk?”
“Well… let’s go.”
The two walked slowly along the street and walked out of a corner to Yanjiang Avenue. The riverside roads were well equipped and connected with lights. The river breeze was not strong and the temperature was suitable. Pedestrians occasionally walked by.
Gu Changshi was very excited along the way. He talked from east to west, saying that he wanted to buy a bicycle so that we could go to and from school together in the future. He said that he wanted to study quickly and was about to enter the review stage. He had to seize the opportunity. Shen Liangyan would express his opinions intermittently. Gu Changshi could feel that he was not deliberately catering, and the more he talked, the more enthusiastic he became.
“Do you want to know why I came to N city? I can tell you.”
“If you trust me…”
Before Shen Liang could finish his words, he was interrupted by the ringing of his mobile phone. He took out his mobile phone and the caller ID was Gao Wenxuan.
Gu Changshi snorted unconsciously from the side. He was not a small-minded person. He quietly followed Shen Liangyan and stopped, holding his hand on the guardrail of the river, waiting for Shen Liangyan to make a call.
The sound from the earpiece is particularly clear in this quiet environment.
“Brother Yan, where are you?”
“I was walking by the river, what happened?”
“It’s okay. Do you need me to pick you up? Will it be boring?”
“No need,” Shen Liangyan looked at Gu Changshi and continued to tell Gao Wenxuan, “I won’t be bored when I’m with my friends.”
“Oh, our dinner party is over. I think it’s still early. There’s still time for tutoring tonight. When will you be back?”
“Yeah, yeah, I’ll be right back.”
Gu Changshi watched Shen Liangyan hang up the phone, and before he could say anything, he took the lead and said, “Oh, we promised not to give you tutoring today, but I will catch you and oppress you as soon as you come back. Now I think grandpa’s proposal is great. You give me tutoring. I will definitely keep my word. I will give you a holiday when I say I will.”
I don’t know if she didn’t want to embarrass him, but Shen Liangyan did not refuse clearly and said, “Let’s go back. We will continue chatting next time when we have a chance.”
But things never went so smoothly. When they returned to the rental house, Gao Wenxuan was waiting at the door. When he saw the two coming back, he welcomed them generously and said hello: “Brother Yan, you are back. Who is this?”
“My deskmate, Gu Changshi, also lives across the street.” Shen Liangyan introduced both parties, “This is Gao Wenxuan, and I work as a tutor in his house.”
Gu Changshi smiled but said, “Haha, hello, hello, I know you. Liangyan is one year above you, so I can count you as your senior. Since Liangyan is a tutor at your home, I ask you to take more care of me, haha.”
“Hmm, Senior Gu.” Then he said to Shen Liangyan, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. I encountered a lot of problems today. Brother Yan, please help me.”
Pretending to take Shen Liangyan into the house, Gu Changshi stretched out his hand and took Shen Liangyan’s arm, “Your schoolbag is still at my house, come and get it.”
Gao Wenxuan smiled politely and said, “You go ahead, I’ll just wait for you here.”
Gu and Chen entered the door, and the door closed with inertia. Gu Changshi clenched his fists in celebration.”Yes!”
Then he kindly advised Shen Liangyan, “Be careful with him. He doesn’t look like a good person. He has eight hundred intentions written on his face.”
“It’s rare that you can still see other people’s thoughts. The sun is rising in the west.” Shen Liangyan was also relatively relaxed.
“I’m more happy than unhappy today. I won’t quarrel with you. Just take your schoolbag and go back. Solve his trouble and rest early.”
“Well, I know what’s going on.”
