She was tight-lipped about others, and did not want to publicize the scandals at home, but Xu Xizhou was different from others. This was the child he had grown up with since he was a child, and it was the only person she could talk to now.

"Xiaozhou, to tell you the truth, our family is really messed up during this time. Xiaorong doesn't know what to think. After breaking off with the daughter of the Lin family, she doesn't like girls anymore. The male college student was his... lover, and his dad was so angry that he had high blood pressure."

"It's just that he likes boys. If he can fall in love with others in a serious way like you, I don't really care. But he has to spend money to go... His father was angry after he was discharged from the hospital, so he went straight to the boy. His parents said a lot of unpleasant things, and it was very ugly. After Xiaorong heard about it later, he didn't even go to the company, and he didn't know where he took the boy. It's been more than a month. Your grandmother is also angry about this."

Tears flowed down unconsciously as Xu Mei spoke.

"It's a good thing to recognize Xiao Rong, it would be even better if you could stay in the Lu family, but I never imagined that it would become like this. I sometimes feel that Xiao Rong seems to be in the bottom of his heart. Still don't recognize us as his parents."

The boy frowned slightly and handed her a tissue. Xu Mei took the tissue and wiped it at the corner of her eyes. She realized her gaffe, and although her eyes were still red, she quickly regained her composure.

"Xiaozhou, I'm sorry, I made you see a joke."

Xu Xizhou shook his head, seeing the Lu family become like this, he couldn't bear it.

"Aunt Xu, don't be sad, Lu Rong will figure it out one day. Maybe uncle's actions are too extreme and hurt his self-esteem, and I have seen the boy next to him, and I feel that the boy likes it. His, the relationship between the two of them should not be as simple as...nurturing."

"I also know this truth, but you also know your Uncle Lu's temper. He is as stubborn as a bull. Xiao Rong's temper follows him, and neither of them will give up until the fish die and the net is broken. I'm afraid to wait for Xiao Rong. By the time Rong figured it out, it was too late."

"Aunt Xu, don't be so pessimistic, I will find a way to contact Lu Rong. When there is news, I will tell you as soon as possible, okay?"

Hearing Xu Xizhou's words, Xu Mei's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help grabbing his hand on the table, like a drowning person grabbing the last piece of driftwood.

"Xiaozhou, I don't force him to go back to Lu's house, I just want to know that he's okay, just let him report my safety, okay?"

Xu Xizhou nodded vigorously.

When walked out of the cafe, the sun had already gone down, the cicadas chirped away, the blood-red sunset fell from the gaps of the plane trees, and the air still had the heat of the day.

Xu Xizhou was walking slowly on the boulevard, when suddenly a black Maybach stopped beside him.

The back seat window was lowered, revealing a handsome and fair face.

"Finished?"

"Why did you leave work so early?"

As the boy spoke, he leaned over and got into the car skillfully. There was a small refrigerator under the seat, and he took a bottle of ice Coke out of it and put it on his face, his expression still a little blank.

Zhuang Jingchun bent her fingers and tapped him on the head.

"Why do you look dazed, did you encounter any problem?"

Xu Xizhou said kindly and told him all the conversation he had just had with Xu Mei.

Zhuang Jingchun frowned slightly, with a trace of thought in her green eyes.

"It's really difficult for the Lu family to deal with it. You'd better not go to the muddy waters again and just watch. After all, it's all their family affairs, and they have to solve it themselves."

The truth is this, but seeing Xu Mei so haggard, Xu Xizhou still couldn't bear it, and always felt that he couldn't completely stand by.

"Looking at your expression, are you going to intervene?"

Xu Xizhou nodded lightly.

"I'll ask Lu Rong, if he doesn't answer me, that's fine."

"I think you care about other people's affairs, but you don't care about your own. Are you not learning guitar? How are you doing?"

Although the recording of the program ended, Liu Yan's teaching was not interrupted, and it was changed to an online teaching method. After practicing like this for five or six days, although Xu Xizhou did not say that he made rapid progress, at least he had learned the basic chords and strumming. You can also play the guitar decently and hum a simple song.

"I've worked hard to learn, and I've made great progress." Xu Xizhou raised his left hand and showed him the thin layer of calluses on his fingers, and a Band-Aid was pasted on the tip of his index finger.

"My fingers are frayed and it hurts when I press on the strings."

"Who asked you to learn this kind of thing on a whim, and you have no musical talent."

Xu Xizhou cut a sigh, "Of course I can't compare to you, a gifted piano prince. Then besides racing, can't I have any other hobbies?"

Zhuang Jingchun sighed, took his hand and looked at it carefully. His cool fingers were placed on the boy's hand, his fingertips touched the thin layer of calluses, and there was a trace of pity in his eyes.

Suddenly, he lowered his head slightly and kissed Xu Xizhou's index finger.

For a split second, there seemed to be tiny electrical currents running from the nerve endings at the ends of the knuckles all the way to the heart. Xu Xizhou's cheeks flushed, and he pulled back his hand subconsciously.

"What are you doing, the driver is still sitting in front of you."

"The whole world knows about our relationship, but you don't think my driver knows?"

Xu Xizhou thought about it, and it made sense. They are all people who have shown their affection on variety shows. Is it possible that they still care about the driver's eyes?

Thinking of this, Xu Xizhou felt much more relaxed, and leaned generously on Zhuang Jingchun's shoulder.

"Didn't you agree to take a half-month vacation before returning to China? Why did you start working again?"

"The matter at the headquarters has indeed been dealt with, but there are other matters in the domestic branch, which must be presided over by me."
