Chapter 46

Towards the end of August, Qi Xi went home and didn't tell his parents. When Qi's mother opened the door, she was taken aback for a moment. It wasn't until Qi Xi called out to her that Qi's mother came to her senses and took Qi Xi's hand. Pulled to the living room.

"Old Qi, Lao Qi, Qi Xi is back." Qi's mother looked up and down as she spoke, with a distressed tone, "You're thin, you're thin."

It took a while for Qi's father to come out of the bedroom. Wearing glasses, he sat on the sofa unhurriedly, and glanced at Qi Xi: "I'm willing to come back."

"School is a bit busy, do you think I'm not coming back?" Qi Xi also felt sorry for neglecting his parents during this time, "I'm starving to death, where is Qi Meng?"

"Qi Meng went to make up lessons, and the time should be back." Qi's mother was still holding Qi Xi's hand reluctantly, and patted the back of his hand repeatedly.

Qi's father helped his slipped glasses: "Okay, okay. Make a dish that Qi Xi likes."

Qi's mother stood up when she heard it: "Yes, yes, I will make braised chicken."

"Mom, don't bother, it doesn't matter if you don't do it."

"I have to do, I have to do." Qi's mother has already come to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. "Fortunately, there is still chicken. Next time I come back, I will tell you earlier. I will buy local chicken. It is not very good to eat quick-frozen chicken."

"Mom, let me help you." After speaking, she planned to stand up.

"No, just one dish, you can chat with your dad."

Qi Xi stopped halfway through standing, and sat back down again.

"How's the factory going?" Qi Xi asked.

Dad Qi: "Fortunately, it's just that we need to recruit more employees."

Qi Xi nodded: "I'm going to stay at home for a week this time. Let me help."

Qi's father's face changed slightly, and he put his hands crossed on his upturned Erlang's legs: "Your hands are used for painting, not suitable for this job."

Qi Xi didn't speak, but just moved his right hand.

At this moment, there was the sound of a key opening the door. As soon as Qi Meng entered the house, he saw Qi Xi, who rushed over without saying a word: "Brother, why are you here!" The smile on his face never disappeared, " Is sister-in-law here?"

As soon as the words fell, Qi Meng immediately shut up, and the house became quiet all of a sudden.Even the sound of cooking in the kitchen seems to be lighter.

Qi's mother was the first to react. She wiped her hands and poked her head out of the kitchen. Qi Xi sat stiffly on the sofa: "Sister-in-law? Qi Xi, have you got a girlfriend?"

Qi Meng glanced at his brother apologetically, and said sorry in a low voice.

Qi Xi smiled, he wasn't ready to tell his parents about it, and he didn't discuss it with Lu Xiuyuan either.The accident happened so fast, Qi Xi didn't even know how to answer.

"I'm going to the toilet." Qi Xi said, and went to the toilet without looking back.He stayed inside for 10 minutes, called Lu Xiuyuan, and told him what happened now.Lu Xiuyuan was also very uneasy on the other end, and asked a lot of questions with some trepidation.

"Don't worry, I will take care of it." Qi Xi said, and Qi's mother outside the door urged to eat, "My mother called me to eat, and I will tell you later."

As soon as Qi Xi took his seat, he felt the eager wait and see from his mother, as well as his father's pretended indifference.

Qi's mother smiled, and put a piece of chicken into Qixi's bowl; "Try it quickly, has your mother's cooking skills deteriorated?"

Qi's father took a sip of his wine, put a peanut in his mouth: "Aren't you going to tell us about your girlfriend?"

Qi Xi choked, the chicken on the chopsticks lost its grip, fell back onto the white rice, swallowed and took a breath: "Dad, Mom."

Qi Meng held Qi Xi's hand under the table with a guilty expression on his face.

"Dad, Mom, I am indeed in a relationship. I didn't tell you because I just got together and I'm not ready to tell you."

Qi Meng interjected: "I've met my sister-in-law, she is very good-looking and very polite. I like it very much."

Qi's mother's eyes lit up: "How beautiful is it?"

"Better than my brother anyway." Qi Meng said.

"Oh, Lao Qi, look, your son knows how to push cabbage." Qi's mother smiled from ear to ear.

Qi Xi: "Dad, Mom, I remember that after my accident, you all said a word to me, you said 'we just hope you can be happy in the future'."

Qi's father didn't know why Qi Xi suddenly mentioned this matter, so he nodded.

"I am very happy with him, the kind that is very happy. After I lost my right hand, I have never been happy. Even if he doesn't do anything, just staying by my side makes me very happy." Qi Xi every time Every word is said sincerely.

Qi's mother: "That girl must be good."

"What I say next is serious." Qi Xi put down his chopsticks and became serious.He glanced at Qi's father and Qi's mother, pondered for a while, and slowly said, "The person with me is a man."

The lively dining table fell silent in an instant, and no one spoke for a while, and the surrounding temperature was suddenly so cold that it made people shiver.

Qi Meng said eagerly: "Dad, mom and sister-in-law are really nice."

After a long time, Dad Qi finally came to his senses, stood up suddenly, and slammed his chopsticks on the table: "What did you say!"

Qi Xi went on to say: "Not only is he a man, he can't walk yet, he's a disabled person just like me."

Qi's mother couldn't speak a word anymore, she sat on the chair with a pale face, trying hard to accept what her son said, and the corners of her already wrinkled eyes began to turn red.

Father Qi shook his hands angrily, and walked towards Qi Xi. Qi Meng stopped in the middle, but was pushed away.

"What you said...is it all true?" Qi's father leaned on the table with one hand, pointing at Qi Xi with a trembling hand.

"Really." Qi Xi said seriously.

As soon as "of" finished speaking, a slap came over, and Qi Xi didn't hide.

Qi Meng: "Dad!"

Qi's mother: "Old Qi!"

Qi Xi turned this way, her face was painful and numb.

Qi's mother pulled Qi's father back a few steps: "Why are you beating the child! Come back after a long time, why are you beating him?"

"I'm going to wake him up! Did you hear what he said! He said his partner was a man! A man!" Qi's father was so angry that his face turned red and he couldn't stand up straight. The table was shot " Bang bang" sound.

"Dad, Mom, I'm not asking for your consent when I tell you this. I'm telling you that I will either not fall in love in my life, or only talk to him if I want to. I have to be responsible to him and to myself. Responsible."

"Shut up!" Qi's father raised his hand and wanted to hit him again, but Qi's mother stopped him.

"Qixi, tell mom. You..."

"Stop asking, it's true."

Qi's father turned to look at Qi Meng: "You already knew?"

Qi Meng shrank his head and didn't answer, which was a tacit agreement.

"Okay, you and your brother are really my good sons and daughters. This is to make my Qi family the last one. What face will I have in the future! What face will I have!" Qi's father said emotionally.

Qi Meng: "Dad, don't be angry, there will be no future, I can give birth, I can give birth." Qi Meng was too guilty, if he hadn't slipped his mouth, it wouldn't be like this, and said to Qi Xi with red eyes , "I'm sorry bro, I didn't mean to."

Qi Xi patted Qi Meng's head: "I don't blame you, I will tell you sooner or later. Dad, you are too emotional now, let me tell you later, can we eat first?"

Qi's father had a dark face, and was pulled back to his seat by Qi's mother without saying a word.

"Dinner, if you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner." Qi's mother said with a choked voice.

……

No one had a good meal, Qi's father and Qi's mother went back to the bedroom, and Qi Xi also went back to her own room.

At nine o'clock in the evening, Qi Xi opened the door and went out. In the living room, Dad Qi was sitting alone. The ashtray was already full of cigarette butts, and there was still one in his hand. It was bloodshot.

Father Qi didn't speak.

Qi Xi sat directly beside him: "Actually, I wanted to jump from my room at that time."

Papa Qi's hand moved visibly, and long strands of soot fell down and scattered on the coffee table.

Qi Xi: "If Qi Meng didn't pull me to watch a game video, I might not be with me anymore. In the video, Lu Xiuyuan is confident and enthusiastic, with the enthusiasm I used to have in his eyes. Dad, I know this is for you and Mom It’s hard to accept, I’m very sorry. But Lu Xiuyuan is not only a boyfriend to me, he is also my lover, and he is the one who pulled me out of the room.”

Qi Xi paused: "I don't know if you believe it or not, but when I saw him, I wanted to live."

……

They didn't talk about it again in the next few days, and no one mentioned it tacitly. On the day Qi Xi left, Qi's father didn't come out in the bedroom, but Qi's mother stuffed a lot of things and was reluctant to let go. She looked at Qi Xi and said: "Bring it to him to eat. That kid's name is Lu Xiuyuan. Your dad said, bring it back to have a look when you have time."

Qi Xi was slightly taken aback, looked at the things that Qi's mother handed over for a while, and then reached out to take it. When she spoke again, her voice changed, her voice was hoarse, and her eyes were red: "Thank you, Dad, thank you, Mom."
