âalright, i got it.â lu yinxi didnât need yan juanâs nagging. she knew all this. not to mention her, fang zicheng was a man of principle.
he said that learning was the priority now, so he would definitely not do anything overboard. lu yinxi had to report to fang zicheng if she wanted to kiss him. no matter how she thought about it, love was very pure.
âoh right, you said you had something to ask me on the phone. what is it?â yan juan wanted to make lu yinxi stay for dinner. when she asked this, she was washing rice and cooking.
lu yinxi stood in the kitchen. she wanted to help, but she didnât know where to start.
when she saw yan juan take out a handful of celery from the fridge, lu yinxi walked up to her and snatched the celery from her hand. â youâre going to stir-fry this celery after itâs spasmed, right? let me help you. â
if the chewy western celery was removed, the taste would be crunchy and tender. yan juan said, â youâre so hardworking and jingjing is so lazy. she can cook now. â but sheâs lazy, and she never gets cramps when sheâs frying celery.â
when yan juan criticized her daughter for being lazy, lu yinxi naturally wouldnât echo her.
she squatted on the kitchen floor to give celery a cramp. it was only then that she remembered the reason she had come to yan juan today. she asked yan juan, â second aunt, i wanted to ask you about auntie. â
âxiao âai?â yan juan glanced at her and asked, â what do you want to ask? â
lu yinxi asked, â why did auntie and grandma break up back then? â
yan juan hesitated for a moment after hearing this.
the kitchen was quiet for a while before yan juanâs voice rang out. â these things are not supposed to be mentioned in the lu family. especially when your grandmother is still around.â yan juan put the inner container of the pot into the rice cooker, then walked over to lu yinxi and squatted down.
there were clearly no outsiders here, and grandma lu was already dead. when yan juan talked about those past events, her voice was still very soft. âyour aunt doesnât have much self-respect,â
âhow can i not love myself?â
lu yinxi was puzzled.
she didnât think that her aunt was someone who didnât care about herself.
yan juanâs voice became even lower. she said, â your aunt doesnât like men. â yan juanâs expression was a little strange. at her age, with her experience, it was unbelievable that a woman didnât like men but had an affair with another woman.
yan juan still had some things in her heart that she didnât have the face to tell lu yinxi. she was especially curious. what would happen when women were with other women?
yan juan was a boorish person, so she couldnât understand lu ziaiâs group. even though she didnât think that lu ziai was a pervert, she still felt uncomfortable and couldnât understand him.
lu yinxi had thought of many possibilities, but she had never thought that the truth would be like this.
auntie doesnât like men?
this was too ...
no wonder.
her aunt was so beautiful and alone at this age, but she didnât have any contact with men. lu yinxi then asked yan juan, â just because auntie likes women, grandma wants to break up with her? â
âthatâs right. your grandma is also an old fogey. she thinks that her daughter is sick. when your aunt was 18 years old, she got together with that girl. after your grandma found out, she and your dad sent her to some rehabilitation center to live for a while.â
âyour aunt lived in there for half a year. after she came out, she seemed to have restrained herself a little.â
lu yinxi noticed that her second aunt said that she âseemed to have restrained herselfâ, which meant that her aunt was still the same. her transformation had not been successful at all. she had only learned to pretend.
true, things like sexual orientation couldnât be changed so easily.
yan juan continued, â because of this, your aunt didnât go to college either. i heard that the girl went to the art school. â your grandma and the others thought that your aunt had really broken up with that girl. they thought that she had really become normal, so they planned to find her a boyfriend and made her go on blind dates every day.â
âyour aunt couldnât take it anymore, so she ran away from home. later, your grandma found her and found out that she was living with that girl. they didnât break up. your grandma was so angry that she fell seriously ill after she came back.â
â i donât know what happened after that, but your auntâs boyfriend suddenly got pregnant! â yan juan lowered her voice and said, â your aunt said that the child bought sperm from a volunteer and did a test-tube baby. however, i heard that the child was actually the child of that girl who had an affair and got together with someone else.â
lu yinxi was stunned.
what the hell was this?
yan juanâs voice was still nagging.
âafter the child was born, your auntâs partner fell sick. it was postpartum depression. she held the child and said that she was going to jump off a building. when he jumped off the building, the child was saved, but the other party died just like that.â
âdead?â lu yinxiâs chest ached. âhow did he ... die?â
âshe said itâs postpartum depression. sigh, i donât know.â yan juan sighed and said, â itâs not easy for your aunt either. i heard that before her boyfriend died, he coaxed your aunt to go home and cook. your aunt had just finished cooking. when she came to the hospital with the food, she saw your aunt jumping down from the building.â
lu yinxi was so shocked that she couldnât speak for a long time.
she watched her lover jump down from upstairs. how had her aunt endured all these years?
it took a long time for lu yinxi to digest the news. she then asked yan juan, â then after that, auntie and grandma never contacted each other again, right? â
âyup,â
âwhat about the child?â
âi heard that he gave it away to a rich family to raise. it was the right thing to do to send the child away. your aunt was muddleheaded during that period of time and was completely crazy. she only recovered after two years.â
âso itâs like this ...â
it was indeed a good thing for the child to be sent away.
â does your aunt have a ... girlfriend now? â
âno, i didnât,â
âsigh, sheâs already 39 years old. itâs not good for her to continue being single.â
âauntie is 39?â lu yinxi said, â i always thought that she was only 34 or 35 years old! â
â your aunt is pretty and young. she also knows how to dress up. itâs normal that you canât tell. â
âthatâs true.â
after hearing this news, lu yinxi didnât even have the mood to eat at night.
when she left the house with fang zicheng, lu yinxi had completely forgotten about the impact of what had happened in the afternoon. all she could think about was what had happened between her aunt and her lover.
she knew that her aunt had a story, but she didnât expect it to be so deep.
lu yinxiâs heart was in a mess. fang zicheng wanted to hear what she was thinking, but he couldnât. he took lu yinxi to a warm dessert shop and ordered a dessert for her.
lu yinxi ate the dessert and felt less confused.
