Why Do You Have The Nerve To Show Off Your Face To Me After We Meet Again? Chapter 40
byBe selfish
Ming Xin originally attended the health school.Later, I met Mu Xiu because of online dating, and Gu Changshi also knew about Ben Xin’s failure.
He later changed his career to become an original singer. In the past two years, he has gained some fame and has received many OSTs for film and television dramas. Recently, he has also gained a lot of fans due to the popularity of the drama.
Because Stellar Entertainment has recently invested heavily in experiments with short video software, developed many modules, and invited players who have recently won the championship of a well-known domestic game to join the live broadcast to attract traffic.
In order to increase the fun, we have also signed contracts with different entertainment stars and game anchors to connect the game to live broadcast activities. The multi-lens switching is more like a live variety show, focusing on the quality of presentation.
Mingxin and Mu Xiu also met again because of this incident. The live broadcast was very effective and they signed a few more shows at a higher price. Therefore, they have been in contact more recently. Mingxin communicated with Shen Liangyan immediately to learn about each other’s every move.
Today, the brand owner refused to let him go. Mingxin really didn’t get any leave, so he worked overtime to finish the work and went straight to the wedding. He was still a little late. Fortunately, Yang Xunyan was considerate that he was just starting out in this industry and didn’t want to offend the organizer.
And because Gu Changshi was a newly invited guest, the room was limited, and he was not sure what time Mingxin would arrive. After discussion, Yang Xunyan and others decided that Shen Liangyan and Mingxin would live in the same room.
I just didn’t expect what happened next.
In the afternoon, Shen Liangyan went back to the countryside to pay homage to his grandparents and tidy up the house. He didn’t want to give up the home he grew up in. His grandfather maintained it very well, so naturally he wouldn’t neglect it.
He didn’t want to stay in the village because he was afraid that Shen Youzhi would come back and cause trouble and make everyone uneasy.
My grandfather passed away the year before last, and he didn’t experience much pain. His condition was actually well controlled, but it couldn’t withstand the sudden aging of people.
During his college years, Shen Liangyan rented a house outside the school and lived with his grandfather. He lived quite comfortably. With Uncle Dali’s support, he had more time to study and take care of his grandfather.
Grandpa was also very happy to see Shen Liangyan succeed in his studies. In their last days when they returned to the village, Grandpa Shen would often say gratifying and happy words to grandma’s photos, which made Shen Liangyan know that everything he did was worth it.
After his grandfather passed away, he went to Chengde Village. Uncle Dali returned to the village when he was a senior in college and planned to build a house. It didn’t need to be too big, just comfortable.
He said that people of his generation still hope to return to their roots and have a place to enjoy their old age.
It’s a pity that the balance of fate is always tilted. Uncle Dali’s chicken was snatched away by a weasel, and the family dog chased it hard and never came back.
It was getting darker and darker at night, and Uncle Dali became anxious. He went to the mountains alone to find the dog. Fortunately, he successfully rescued the dog from the trap. Unfortunately, Uncle Dali was bitten by a poisonous snake when he returned.
After the treatment, my body was not as good as before, and the remaining problems caused by excessive hard work in the past were also highlighted. I could no longer do the heavy work, and the house repairs were put on hold.
After Shen Liangyan took care of his grandfather’s affairs, he decided to take care of Uncle Dali. His grandfather also fully supported this matter. Repaying kindness is their life creed.
Shen Liangyan was able to apply what he learned in the local area. With in-depth understanding, he gave business suggestions based on local conditions and worked with local village officials to find the most suitable sales channels. In the early stage, no one dared to take risks, so he took the lead himself. After online sales took off, he also actively led everyone to join.
Sales, shipping, and after-sales are all things he adapted to and studied step by step.Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of experience by working piecemeal. People in the village like him very much and often praise Uncle Dali for his good vision and funding of the right people.
At the same time, Shen Liangyan was also helping Uncle Dali rebuild his house. Uncle Dali paid for the foundation. Later, Shen Liangyan used the money he earned to pay more and more without daring to let his uncle know.
Uncle Dali didn’t feel the need to buy many household appliances since he didn’t know how to use them. He lived a simple life happily. He was very satisfied looking at the house he built and the food he grew.
Until this summer, Uncle Dali found someone drowning in the river while taking a walk. He jumped into the water to save the person without hesitation, and the dog followed him into the water. Unfortunately, he got entangled in aquatic plants and his strength quickly disappeared. At the last moment, they pushed the drowned child to the shore, but he stayed in the water forever.
By the time people from afar arrived, it was too late, and the dog was unable to drag its owner ashore and drowned in the water together.
In the end, Shen Liangyan helped arrange the funeral arrangements with the family of the rescued child, in the house where Uncle Dali lived for two years.
He has been giving all his life, and in the end, one life is for another. Sometimes Shen Liangyan really hopes for the fatalism of reincarnation, and hopes that Uncle Dali will be perfect in his next life, and that he will do good deeds in this life and be happy in his next life.
In the following months, Shen Liangyan was confused.
Before his death, Uncle Dali witnessed the village officials and wrote a suicide note. His house was donated to Shen Liangyan, and his savings were donated to charity organizations.
Shen Liangyan had thought about getting a dog or a cat as a pet. He remembered that Uncle Dali had told him before that he did not regret saving the dog Laifu, which was his family. He also said that he hoped to be reincarnated as a dog in the next life, a dog that would no longer be a stray.
Shen Liangyan hesitated. A dog’s life was too short, and he couldn’t bear to say goodbye. Just like his little flower, he was still full of energy when he came home during the May Day holiday of his senior year of high school, wandering around him. On the last day of the holiday, he found that it was missing.
The group searched for it for a long time and found it dead in the grass.This is the first time that Shen Liangyan has intuitively faced the death of his “family” since he grew up, his partners and family members who have been with him for more than ten years.
Therefore, until Shen Liangyan figures it out, he doesn’t plan to keep cats and dogs.
Shen Liangyan stayed in the cemetery for a long time. When he was a child, he couldn’t understand why his grandfather could talk to the tombstone for so long. Now he seems to understand, and he doesn’t want to leave.
He talked about his recent life, his recent work, and also mentioned Gu Changshi. He hesitated, but still asked his inner doubts, whether to indulge himself or stop losses in time, whether to forgive him and accept his own disaster, or to give up on him and return to his established life path.
Naturally, his grandparents were unable to answer him. The only person listening to this inquiry was himself.
When I came back from the cemetery, I found that the door of Grandpa Gu’s house was actually open. I heard from Aunt Yang that it had been a month since Grandpa Gu returned to the capital to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. Is he back?
Shen Liangyan took the processed young bamboo shoots to visit the elderly next door.
When passing by the garage, I found a car parked, which belonged to Gu Changshi.
Shen Liangyan hasn’t calmed down yet and doesn’t know how to get along with Gu Changshi, so he plans to go back first.
I never expected to be discovered by Grandpa Gu at the door, “Xiao Shen is back? Are you looking for Ergou? He is helping me pack my luggage.”
Shen Liangyan still felt it was a bit funny because he hadn’t heard the title for a long time, and unconsciously pictured Gu Changshi’s angry retort in his mind.
“Grandpa!” Gu Changshi was angry and helpless.Just as he expected.
Shen Liangyan replied to Grandpa Gu and planned to complete the purpose of this trip.”Oh no, I came to see you and bring you some food.”
“Then come in quickly. Chang Ji told me that you are back too. I thought you came to see him.”
Grandpa Gu accepted the bamboo shoots and said it was delicious. Gu Changshi also mailed it and asked Shen Liangyan to come over for dinner in the evening, saying that the two of them did not talk much about each other during the meal.
Shen Liangyan agreed without too many excuses, saying that he would come over to help later and would go home after that.
Mr. Gu stopped him in time: “I happen to be going to the village entrance to play chess, let’s go together.”
Gu Changshi stretched out his hand and hesitated, but failed to stop him. Looking at the two of them going out together, who is your grandson? There is someone else who is the same, but they don’t say anything to me.
The two exchanged greetings and left the yard. When they were about to say goodbye, Grandpa Gu pulled Shen Liangyan and said, “Liangyan, I don’t know what happened between you and Chang Jiu, but I know you are very important to him. You are here today. His cheerfulness has not been seen for a long time, and you are more energetic than in previous years. I hope Grandpa Gu’s words will not cause you trouble, but I don’t want you to lose such an important friend. Come on time in the evening.”
Shen Liangyan also didn’t expect Grandpa Gu to be a lobbyist, and he noticed the awkwardness between them, “No, we two…just let nature take its course. Thank you Grandpa Gu for the dinner invitation.”
After returning home, Shen Liangyan sat in the main room for a long time, looking at the house that had been cleaned spotlessly. It seemed empty, perhaps because there were many farming tools and the sweet potatoes that should have been piled up.
He sat on the chair where his grandfather often sat and looked at the shrine. There were photos of his grandparents there, one young and blurry and one old and clear, telling the world that it had been decades since they met again.
Shen Liangyan tried to find photos of his grandfather when he was young, but unfortunately his father suddenly returned home when he was a child. He turned the house upside down and took away many important documents, including the only photo album. Therefore, he also forgot his mother’s appearance, and his memory was blurred, leaving nothing behind.
He didn’t want his grandfather to disappear from his memory like this. In the last two years, he still took a lot of photos of his grandfather.
But he still couldn’t find the young grandfather. He hoped that his grandparents would not blame him and that they would be able to live in peace and stability for a long time in the next life.
“Grandpa Shen must be very happy that you can come back often.” Gu Changshi suddenly appeared and sat on the stool next to him, looking at Shen Liangyan and said solemnly.
Shen Liangyan was indeed comforted by his simple words, but the words he said were still awkward: “Why do you walk without making any sound!”
“That’s because you are too immersed in your own thoughts! You don’t even know if someone is careful!”
“Yes, the thief is right in front of me.”
Gu Changshi was not angry, but rather proud, “No, I’m not a thief, I’m a flower-picking thief!”
…
“Nervous.” Shen Liangyan was brought back to reality by him. Only in reality could there be such a thick-skinned person.Still couldn’t help but whisper, “Shameless.”
Gu Changshi didn’t show any anger at being scolded, “Yes, you are so thin-skinned that you ran away as soon as you woke up in the morning. You don’t even know how to take responsibility!”
Shen Liangyan gave up looking around and looked at Gu Chang for a long time, trying to see what he really meant in his eyes.
Gu stared at him for a long time without blinking, as if he wanted to suck him in.
When Shen Liangyan came back to his senses, he found that Gu Changshi’s palm had already touched his face, holding his cheek and moving closer.
The kiss was just a hint of water. After the kiss, Gu Changshi did not withdraw a few centimeters and said, “I want to ask you to cook dinner, is that okay?”
Shen Liangyan opened his eyes and continued to look at him, nodded slightly and hummed.
Gu Changshi grinned, and then took his lips again, this time not just tasting it.
A few minutes later, Shen Liangyan pulled someone’s hand out and said, “Can you restrain yourself in public?”
Gu Changshi looked at him with a smile, “No one else is here.”
“My grandparents are watching!”
Gu Changshi became more energetic and said firmly: “Isn’t Grandpa Shen very optimistic about me? He will explain it clearly to grandma.”
Shen Liangyan was surprised. He didn’t know whether it was because he was overconfident or because he really knew.
Gu Changshi felt that Shen Liangyan was so understanding, so he laughed out loud: “Didn’t we come back together on May Day? We helped with so much farm work, and my favorability level was maxed out, okay? I accidentally overheard your conversation before taking the vacation.”
That was after Xiaohua passed away. Grandpa was calmer than him. Before taking the leave, he comforted him and listed the partings he had experienced since he was young. He said that although it was painful, he was more grateful for the encounter. When life is complete, he pays more attention to experience. It is enough that most of the process of getting along is beautiful. Sorrow, pain, happiness and beauty are the important chapters of life.
Grandpa took the initiative to mention Gu Changshi, but did not reveal their relationship.”Grandpa doesn’t want you to be immersed in pain for too long. Remember more of the happy times brought by little flowers. The same goes for the people around you, such as Xiao Gu. He has brought you so many positive feelings, so you can be selfish, hold on tight, and get along well with him. He is worth it. Grandpa just wants you to be happy. Remember, your feelings must come first. There is nothing wrong with being selfish.”
In fact, Shen Liangyan later officially came out to his grandfather, which he never wanted to let Gu Changshi know.After all, it was a few years after that conversation. When he was taking care of his grandfather in his hometown during his senior year, the matchmaker from the same village came several times.
Some people say that finding a good girl to marry will make grandpa happy, and some people say that getting married and having a baby first will not leave grandpa with any regrets, so that grandpa can complete his mission.
Nice and unpleasant words, euphemistic or undisguised words hit him in a short time. His patience finally ran out, and Shen Liangyan drove him away in front of his grandfather.
Grandpa still spoke for him from his point of view: “Yuanyuan, I don’t want to listen to her nonsense about tasks and non-commissions. Grandpa is not a stubborn person. You should be cautious about marriage. It is fundamental that both parties are in love, so you can do it a few years earlier or later. Don’t be influenced by them.”
“Grandpa! I won’t be able to get married in a few years because I don’t like girls. I can’t get married in this life… I’m sorry, Grandpa.” Shen Liangyan hasn’t cried in front of his grandfather for a long time. When his mind was not mature enough, he rarely expressed his feelings through tears, but he couldn’t control it at the moment.
Grandpa Shen touched his head and said, “Marriage is not a must. What I mean is that it doesn’t matter sooner or later to find someone to spend your whole life with. The important thing is to find the right person.”
“Even if the other person is the same sex?”
“Well, sexual orientation is never a prerequisite for happiness, so you will be happy when you meet your beloved. This is what grandpa wants to see.”
Will it?Will you be happy?Shen Liangyan did not dare to continue asking. How could he get confirmation from others for this answer that he was not sure about?He could only reply with a yes.
If it’s not the same thing, can I be a little selfish?But what if you will be happy?Then pray for happiness for a little longer than last time.
This is Shen Liangyan’s decision tonight.
“Let’s go, we should make dinner.” Gu Changshi took Shen Liangyan’s hand and greeted the elders on the shrine, and then left together.
