Some things cannot be explained in a few words, and there is always a process of digestion. Jiang Ou has no obvious emotional problems, this is the biggest success, and the rest will have to be solved slowly with time. Jiang Tian didn't let her meet Sheng Wang in the end. He ordered a car for Jiang Ou and sent the person downstairs.
The driver got out of the driver's seat and helped open the door. Jiang Ou sat in the back seat and took care of his clothes. Finally, he couldn't hold back and turned his head to look out the rear window.
She saw Jiang Tian strode toward the other side of the gate, and when he reached the corner of the courtyard wall, someone got out of a car parked on the side of the road.
From such a long distance, Jiang Ou could only see that the man was wearing a familiar dark blue coat and a thick black scarf.
Is that really Sheng Wang? Jiang Ou looked at the young man blankly.
She still remembers the cold and steady appearance of the other party when she answered the phone, maybe she was talking about work, giving people a sense of orderly and capable, and she must be the most outstanding one in the crowd. But that really wasn't the grand hope she remembered. So much so that she took a quick glance and actually recognized him as a stranger similar to Jiang Tian.
"Is the temperature in the car right?" the driver asked when he started the car.
Jiang Ou suddenly came back to his senses, politely and hastily smiled and said, "It's good."
And when she turned around again, she vaguely saw the young man lying on the car window, smiling and beckoning. The moment he faced Jiang Tian, he finally had a shadow of the past on him, as if he was still the vivid boy who could laugh and make trouble.
Jiang Ou watched for a while, and finally turned his head and lowered his eyes in silence.
Sheng Wang glanced behind Jiang Tian and saw no other familiar figures. Although it was expected, he still had a subtle sense of loss.
As a result, just as he sat back in the driver's seat and was about to buckle his seat belt, Jiang Tian leaned over and kissed him for a while.
Sheng Wang was a little confused: "The windshield is transparent."
Jiang Tian sat up straight and buckled his seat belt, "Do you mind?"
"Of course I don't mind." Sheng Wang touched the corner of his lips and said, "I'm afraid you think the windshield is one-sided."
"...Am I mentally retarded?"
Sheng Wang laughed.
Actually not, he just felt that this move was a bit abnormal for Jiang Tian, worried that the dialogue between mother and son would not be pleasant. But when he heard his brother's familiar sneering tone, he was relieved.
Everything seems to be much better than expected.
"Is Auntie going back by herself?" he asked.
"Well, it's not on the way." Jiang Tian said.
Sheng Wang wanted to laugh a little, thinking that she wouldn't be able to come and take my car on the way. His brother has always been straight, and it's really embarrassing for him to come up with a reason for not going right.
Sheng Wang considers himself handsome and considerate, of course he won't reveal it. While searching for the navigation, he asked, "Is she not living in a nursing home now?"
"It's too early to live, and I rented an apartment near the old man."
"What apartment?"
Jiang Tian glanced at him: "Am I so easy to deceive?"
Sheng Wang leaned his elbows on the steering wheel and typed with a sullen smile. After a while, Chong Jiang Tian raised the screen of his mobile phone: "If you don't tell me, I don't know where I live? I asked Brother Xi before I came here."
He tapped the route on the screen and said, "Did you see it, special, special, smooth, road."
Jiang Tian: "…"
Some people in their teens were keen to watch others demolish their stage, but now they are more courageous and start to do it themselves. Jiang Tian confronted him with a frozen face for a while, and suddenly stretched out his hand to squeeze the back of his neck: "If you want to laugh and laugh, I will drive the car."
"Don't use the cat-carrying trick against me." Sheng Wang felt itchy all over his body, and he was afraid of being touched by Jiang Tian, "Let go! I don't trust the driving skills you cultivated through capitalism."
"Try it."
"Try what to try, there are two lives in the car, brother." Sheng Wang swept away his hand, shifted the light and stepped on the brakes in one go, for fear of being driven to the back seat, "I'm still young, I have a career and a family..."
Jiang Tian leaned on the seat and listened to someone's nonsense. He especially missed these incoherent words, and the noise filled every day. The best idea he ever had was to listen like this for a lifetime.
"...Although I'm pretty handsome, you can't hurt me." Some people are reluctant in front, but in the back, it's pure nonsense.
Jiang Tian raised his eyebrows in the traffic lights, and said lazily, "I didn't hear you say that you have a family when you bit my shoulder yesterday."
Sheng Wang made a "heh" and stopped at the intersection. It may be because of the red light, his neck and face were covered in blood, but his expression was very calm.
He blinked at the front of the car and said, "Of course there is, puppy love cheated. The family is a returnee doctor, tall and handsome, are you envious?"
"Who do you envy?"
"me."
Jiang Tian shook his head, "I envy that family member more."
Sheng Wang narrowed his eyes and touched his earlobe after a long time.
Although he recognized this matter very early, he still wanted to say that his brother is really boring...
In the last few days before the Spring Festival, everyone is very busy. Gao Tianyang and Chili booked their tickets early and asked Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian when they would return to Jiangsu.
Sheng Wang replied, "You can't lift a pot without opening it."
Gao Tianyang thought about it too. For Sheng Wang, his hometown is only his ancestral house and Sheng Mingyang. Now that someone has come out of the closet, going back is afraid that he will block his own father. As for Jiang Tian... Jiang Ou was originally in Beijing, and Jiangsu, apart from the old rented house at the entrance of the Affiliated Middle School, also had nothing to see.
The situation of these two people is special, it is very embarrassing to leave or stay.
Gao Tianyang said, "Why don't you two just book an itinerary and find an unpopular place for a seven-day Spring Festival tour!"
A few years ago, Jiang Tian was accustomed to walking around during the festival, and subconsciously he was about to flip the ticket to the scenic spot, but Sheng Wang stopped him: "You take care of him, no place is unpopular during the Chinese New Year, there are more than one billion people."
They struggled for two days and finally booked a flight to and from Jiangsu.
First, the WeChat group of Class A began to jump wildly a few years ago, and we went to see the teacher after the festival. Second... Sheng Wang suddenly received a call from Sheng Mingyang when he was three days away from the holiday—
After the dinner on New Year's Day, there was always a bit of embarrassment between father and son. For a long time, Sheng Mingyang neither shared his articles on health care nor forwarded it to the circle of friends, and suddenly fell silent. I don't know if I'm struggling with ideas or just in a cold war.
This call was the first contact after New Year's Day, and the two of them were silent for a few seconds at the moment of connection. In the end, Sheng Mingyang spoke first, "Did you come back during the Spring Festival?"
He didn't use "are you coming back?", he directly used a semi-affirmative sentence. This is still his usual practice, covering up the inner strength in a seemingly gentle way. But somehow, this time, it turned into a concession in disguise.
Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment, but did not say a word immediately. In those few seconds, he keenly felt that Sheng Mingyang was nervous. His always strong father was actually nervous when he was waiting for his answer.
He didn't expose this point, and after returning to his senses, he said, "Go back as soon as you get the tickets. The Spring Festival hotel is also a bit difficult to book."
Before this call, he had actually decided not to go back. After a busy year, it is not bad to be able to enjoy the two-person world with Jiang Tian in the residence during the Spring Festival. It is much more interesting than going out to see people's heads.
But he didn't tell the original plan, and only attributed the reason to the hard-to-get tickets, like a tacit avoidance, so as not to make the person on the other end of the phone sad.
Sheng Mingyang said as soon as he heard his words: "Why do you book a hotel? Does your family have a house and can't live in a hotel?"
With that said, Sheng Wang couldn't avoid it. He hesitated for two seconds, then said helplessly, "I'm not alone."
After he finished speaking, he stopped talking.
The other end of the phone was quiet for a while, Sheng Mingyang seemed to have been pressed the power button, and he could hear how stiff he was. After a long time, he said vaguely: "I know you're not going back alone, isn't your room still there?"
This time, it was Sheng Wang's turn to open his mouth and forget his words.
The dialogue between smart people is often not so clear, and the voiceover is understood by everyone. Sheng Mingyang is very smart, Sheng Wangqing is out of blue, but this time, he wants to be stupid.
His lips moved, and he looked up to see Jiang Tian across the dining table, and asked Sheng Mingyang seriously, "Dad, is that what I understand?"
Sheng Mingyang was silent for a moment, and didn't answer this sentence directly: "I just saw Lao Xu in the circle of friends saying that those students in your class are going to go back to school to have a look."
Sheng Wang's heart was a little heavy, waiting for him to continue.
"Aren't you both?" Sheng Mingyang said.
Sheng Wang said "um".
Sheng Mingyang added: "I have a lot of things to do this year, so I can stay at home for two days on the first day of the thirtieth day, eat two meals, and leave early on the second day of the new year."
Sheng Wang said "um" again, but his voice was a little hoarse and not so clear: "Another bunch of dinners?"
"You have to move around during the New Year."
"Look at your legs before drinking." Sheng Wang said.
Sheng Mingyang was silent again for some reason, before he said, "Buy it now, can you still get the ticket?"
Sheng Wang said: "It's better to buy air tickets."
Sheng Mingyang said, "Yes."
With just one word, most of the burden of the past few years has been removed. Knowing that his shoulders and back muscles were slowly relaxing, Sheng Wang realized that he had always been tense before.
"I'll ask Aunt Sun to clean the room when I come back." Sheng Mingyang said again.
Sheng Wang thought about it and said, "Then save your aunt's troubles. I'll just take care of my room. It's okay to be next door. I don't need two rooms."
Sheng Mingyang thought about it for a while, and found that he couldn't think about it carefully, so he hung up the phone without saying a word.
Sheng Wang pointed to his mobile phone and complained to Jiang Tian: "See, hang up my phone and ignore me."
Thinking about what he just said, Jiang Tian was a little speechless: "You just stimulate him that much?"
"It was not less exciting in the past." Sheng Wang remembered the daily nonsense with Sheng Mingyang when he was young, and it seemed like the next day, and it seemed that many, many years had passed.
He grabbed the last piece of green tea in the glass bowl and threw it into his mouth, picked up the bowl with only bald vines left, and walked to the kitchen. When passing by Jiang Tian, he kissed the corner of the other's lips, shook his head and said, "Old comrade is getting old. , I can't help but be amused, I used to hang up his phone."
