"alright, i got it." lu yinxi didn't need yan juan's 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.

"oh right, you said you had something to ask me on the phone. what is it?" 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 didn't 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. " you're going to stir-fry this celery after it's spasmed, right? let me help you. "

!!

if the chewy western celery was removed, the taste would be crunchy and tender. yan juan said, " you're so hardworking and jingjing is so lazy. she can cook now. " but she's lazy, and she never gets cramps when she's frying celery."

when yan juan criticized her daughter for being lazy, lu yinxi naturally wouldn't 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, " second aunt, i wanted to ask you about auntie. "

"xiao 'ai?" yan juan glanced at her and asked, " what do you want to ask? "

lu yinxi asked, " why did auntie and grandma break up back then? "

yan juan hesitated for a moment after hearing this.

the kitchen was quiet for a while before yan juan's voice rang out. " these things are not supposed to be mentioned in the lu family. especially when your grandmother is still around." 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. "your aunt doesn't have much self-respect,"

"how can i not love myself?"

lu yinxi was puzzled.

she didn't think that her aunt was someone who didn't care about herself.

yan juan's voice became even lower. she said, " your aunt doesn't like men. " yan juan's expression was a little strange. at her age, with her experience, it was unbelievable that a woman didn't like men but had an affair with another woman.

yan juan still had some things in her heart that she didn't 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 couldn't understand lu ziai's group. even though she didn't think that lu ziai was a pervert, she still felt uncomfortable and couldn't understand him.

lu yinxi had thought of many possibilities, but she had never thought that the truth would be like this.

auntie doesn't like men?

this was too ...

no wonder.

her aunt was so beautiful and alone at this age, but she didn't have any contact with men. lu yinxi then asked yan juan, " just because auntie likes women, grandma wants to break up with her? "

"that's 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."

"your aunt lived in there for half a year. after she came out, she seemed to have restrained herself a little."

lu yinxi noticed that her second aunt said that she 'seemed to have restrained herself', 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 couldn't be changed so easily.

yan juan continued, " because of this, your aunt didn't go to college either. i heard that the girl went to the art school. " 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."

"your aunt couldn't 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 didn't break up. your grandma was so angry that she fell seriously ill after she came back."

" i don't know what happened after that, but your aunt's boyfriend suddenly got pregnant! " yan juan lowered her voice and said, " 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."

lu yinxi was stunned.

what the hell was this?

yan juan's voice was still nagging.

"after the child was born, your aunt's 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."

"dead?" lu yinxi's chest ached. "how did he ... die?"

"she said it's postpartum depression. sigh, i don't know." yan juan sighed and said, " it's 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."

lu yinxi was so shocked that she couldn't 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, " then after that, auntie and grandma never contacted each other again, right? "

"yup,"

"what about the child?"

"i 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."

"so it's like this ..."

it was indeed a good thing for the child to be sent away.

" does your aunt have a ... girlfriend now? "

"no, i didn't,"

"sigh, she's already 39 years old. it's not good for her to continue being single."

"auntie is 39?" lu yinxi said, " i always thought that she was only 34 or 35 years old! "

" your aunt is pretty and young. she also knows how to dress up. it's normal that you can't tell. "

"that's true."

after hearing this news, lu yinxi didn't 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 didn't expect it to be so deep.

lu yinxi's heart was in a mess. fang zicheng wanted to hear what she was thinking, but he couldn't. he took lu yinxi to a warm dessert shop and ordered a dessert for her.

lu yinxi ate the dessert and felt less confused.
