Lin Yao didn't know what Qi Jian was going to say next, so he hung up the phone, turned it off and put it back in his pocket, then smiled at Guan Ze and lowered his head to continue eating the skewers.
Qi Jian didn't say who this sister was, but it was definitely not his biological sister, nonsense! Lin Yao took a bamboo stick that had been eaten and poked it gently on the edge of the table. The first person he thought of was the woman who was very close to Guan Ze when he bought buns that day.
Is she lame? Lin Yao couldn't remember. He didn't even bother to see what the woman looked like or whether her hair was long or short. He was just filled with grief and anger at the time. He just wanted to crash into the ten trays of buns and didn't pay attention to anything else.
Guan Ze ate the meatballs in his hand slowly, watching him poke the table with the skewer like hoeing the ground. After finishing a string of meatballs, Guan Ze tapped the one in his hand with the skewer: "Ask whatever you want to ask."
"Ah," Lin Yao threw down the skewer, picked up a chicken wing, took a bite, "You have a sister?"
"You've seen it." Guan Ze smiled.
"That day when I went to the restaurant with you, I was so excited?"
"Um."
"Didn't you say that she was a friend you hadn't seen for a long time? You didn't say she was your sister." Lin Yao frowned, bit off the chicken bones, and chewed them in his mouth with a crunching sound. Sister? Bite one to death! Don't even spit out the bones! Swallow them all to supplement calcium!
"It's been several years since we last met," Guan Ze leaned back in his chair, "and she no longer calls me brother."
"She..." Lin Yao hesitated whether he should ask about the leg. Although Qi Jian's voice was loud, he was not sure if Guan Ze heard it. "Forget it. It has nothing to do with me at the moment."
"Eat quickly, and then go to another place," Guan Ze threw down the stick in his hand, "I'll tell you a bedtime story about my sister."
Lin Yao had never eaten skewers at such a speed before. He ate up the remaining skewers of lamb on the plate in a few bites, then wiped his mouth and stood up: "You pay the bill."
"Yeah." Guan Ze took out his wallet and took out the money.
Lin Yao took a quick look into his wallet in the light and once again used his eagle eyes to the fullest extent of his power. He saw a photo in Guan Ze's wallet, which made him very uneasy. Normally, a man like Guan Ze should not have photos in his wallet.
That sister? He tried his luck and tried his fire eyes again to see who was in the photo.
Before he could start to use his power, Guan Ze suddenly threw his wallet on the table in front of him: "Look at my son."
Lin Yao wanted to bury his face in the bamboo sticks on the table, but in order to show that he had nothing to hide, he pretended to be calm and took the wallet and opened it to take a look. As expected, he saw Lu Teng's little face wrinkled with laughter: "So... cute."
"Yeah, pretty much the same as you," Guan Ze smiled, took the wallet from him, and patted him on the face with it, "Don't pretend in front of me, I can see what you're thinking at a glance."
"Shut up and stop pretending to be an immortal in front of me all the time. I don't give you any money, why are you making such a fuss?" Lin Yao felt embarrassed and kicked the chair. I want to sleep with you, can you tell
It was already late, and there was nowhere else to go. After thinking for a while, Lin Yao took Guan Ze to the artificial lake in his community and sat down on a bench next to the rockery: "Let's go here. This is the quietest place right now."
"Do you usually come here?" Guan Ze sat down next to him, leaned back in the chair, stretched out his legs, and put his arms on the back of the chair behind Lin Yao.
His arm didn't touch Lin Yao, but Lin Yao felt a tingling sensation from his neck to the back of his waist. He leaned back and rubbed his hands on the back of the chair. "I don't come here very often. Usually this is a paradise for aunties and old ladies. My mom sometimes comes over to discuss cooking tips with them."
"Your mother is a great cook," Guan Ze felt a little bitter in his mouth when he thought of the snacks and juice, "but you are really lucky."
"Yeah," Lin Yao nodded, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, "What about your mother? I don't think anyone can easily reach the level of my mother's cooking that is so amazing."
"I don't know, I've never eaten it." Guan Ze answered very naturally.
Lin Yao opened his mouth but couldn't say anything. Never eaten it? Who hasn't eaten the dishes cooked by their own mother? Can't cook? No mother? Or...
"Let me tell you about Ning Juan," Guan Ze changed the subject, "It's because of my lame sister."
"You heard it," Lin Yao lowered his head, lit a cigarette, and blew out a smoke ring, "I thought you didn't hear it clearly."
"I didn't hear it clearly, but I can guess what Qi Jian is going to say without listening."
"Have you known Qi Jian for a long time?" Lin Yao looked at Guan Ze's legs. He was actually very tired and sleepy. He really wanted to fall down and take a nap on Guan Ze's long legs.
"Well, we've known each other for quite a long time, but we're not really close," Guan Ze took out a piece of chocolate and put it in his mouth. "He pursued Ning Juan and I blocked him a few times. That was more than ten years ago. I haven't seen him much since then. I almost didn't recognize him when I saw him that day."
"You must have beaten him pretty hard, because he recognized you right away," Lin Yao sighed, thinking about how he was easily knocked down by Guan Ze twice in the hotel. This guy probably wasn't a good person in the past. "And he called me brother as soon as he saw me. I even suspected he was on drugs."
"No, I just taught him a lesson, but he does have a lot of opinions about me." Guan Ze smiled. This was the first time Lin Yao saw such a not-so-relaxed smile on his face. He looked up at the night sky. "Ning Juan called me brother at that time. I was probably about seventeen or eighteen years old. I can't remember clearly."
"I had been working in her store for two or three years at that time, and I lived and ate there," Guan Ze kept looking up at the sky, as if trying to recall. "She and her father were the only two people in her family. Uncle Ning was very kind to me. If it weren't for him, I don't know where I would be now. I might be in jail, or even dead."
Lin Yao took a puff of the cigarette, and when he was blowing out smoke rings, he heard Guan Ze's words. He was choked and fell on his legs and coughed towards the ground. He looked like he wanted to eat his shoes, and he couldn't straighten his back for a long time.
"You were a teenager..." Lin Yao coughed and struggled to speak, "You worked in her house for two or three years... Are you a child laborer?"
"That's about it," Guan Ze patted him gently on the back, "Let's talk after you finish coughing."
"You..." Lin Yao pinched Guan Ze's leg and finally stopped coughing, "Aren't you going to school?"
"It wasn't that serious at the time," Guan Ze slapped his hand away and rubbed it on his leg for a long time, "Why are you using so much force?"
"Still a scoundrel?" Lin Yao lay on his knees and twisted his neck to look at him.
"That's fine if you insist," Guan Ze stroked his back gently, "that's how it is anyway."
"Then why is her leg lame?"
Guan Ze suddenly fell silent, and stopped stroking Lin Yao's back to calm him down. After a long while, he slowly spoke again: "I was still quite a troublemaker back then... I got into big trouble that day, and when people came to look for me, I wasn't there, I was hiding."
"And then?" Lin Yao looked at Guan Ze. If he hadn't heard Guan Ze say it himself, he really couldn't imagine that such a mature and confident man would have such a mediocre and stupid gangster-like past. It was painful to hear that.
"Then they only found Ning Juan," Guan Ze pinched his fingers, and his joints made a few small crisp sounds, "Ning Juan refused to tell them where I was and begged them to let me go... Ning Juan is quite famous in our area, she is beautiful, has a good personality, and many people like her..."
Guan Ze sighed, "It's annoying that she begged me for mercy. They put forward a condition, asking Ning Juan to jump from the third floor. If she dares to jump, they will stop bothering me."
"She jumped?" Lin Yao felt his heart twitch.
"He jumped," Guan Ze nodded, "He fell pretty badly and was hospitalized for a few months. His leg is lame."
Lin Yao slowly sat up straight, not knowing what to say: "She likes you, right?"
"Yeah." Guan Ze took out another piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth, supporting his forehead with his fingers, his eyes a little wandering.
"What about you?" Lin Yao finally found the key point. A woman who liked Guan Ze broke her leg for him.
"Sister," Guan Ze smiled, "A very important sister."
"No more?"
“No more.”
"She's not young anymore, is she? Has she been waiting for you?" Lin Yao almost bit his tongue when he said this. He felt so sad that his heart was about to burn a hole. All his teeth kept doing push-ups, lying down, getting up, lying down again, and getting up again.
"She's one year younger than me, and will be 30 soon." Guan Ze patted him on the head, "According to your habit, you should call her auntie."
"So you don't plan to be with her...what about that?" Lin Yao didn't have time to chat with him.
"How about it?"
"She likes you so much, and she's hurt so much because of you," Lin Yao lowered his head and muttered softly, "Aren't you going to marry her? To repay a favor or something like that, that's what's written in novels."
"I'm not that..." Guan Ze thought for a moment, "Noble? Grateful? I'm not that kind of person. Gratitude and emotion are two different things."
"Really?" Although Lin Yao felt that Ning Juan was quite touching, he felt inexplicably relieved when he heard Guan Ze's words.
"Being with her because of this, don't you feel disrespectful and unfair to her? Both of us are unhappy," Guan Ze patted his legs, "end of the story."
Lin Yao was silent for a long time, then suddenly jumped up, turned around and stood in front of Guan Ze, pressing his shoulder: "Do you want to cry?"
"Ah?" Guan Ze looked up at him, not understanding what he meant.
"I mean, this is so uncomfortable," Lin Yao patted his belly, "Come and cry here, it will make you feel better. You ate too much today, so it will definitely be soft and elastic when you lie on it."
Guan Ze was amused. What was this kid thinking? He also patted Lin Yao on the belly: "Why am I crying..."
Before he could finish his words, Lin Yao hugged his head and pressed it against his stomach, rubbing his head several times: "Be obedient, cry quickly, let me comfort you."
Guan Ze buried his head in his belly and said in a muffled voice, "Stop making me laugh. I can't cry with this cumin smell on me."
"Does it smell?" Lin Yao immediately pushed him away, took two steps back, and sniffed his clothes. What he cared about most was that others could smell a strange odor on him. "Is it? Damn it, no, I just smell a burnt chili pepper..."
Lin Yao shut up. This tasted even worse than cumin.
"Thank you," Guan Ze leaned back in his chair and laughed for a long time, "If I really wanted to cry, you would have made me laugh."
"Actually," Lin Yao tugged at his clothes and was stunned for a moment, "If it were me, I would have jumped too if it came to that."
Guan Ze didn't say anything, nor did he laugh again. He just looked at him quietly.
Lin Yao felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, and lowered his head and hesitated for a moment: "I'm sure I don't like you as much as she does, but if I did, it would be normal for me to jump down... I mean, I might not fall so badly if I jump down... No, that's off topic, I mean, she's a little girl, it's really not easy for her... And then... wait, what was I going to say..."
Guan Ze sighed, stood up, walked to him, raised his hand to push his hair aside, hooked his chin with his fingers and lifted it up, and kissed him on the forehead: "Why is it so difficult to listen to you? Stop it, I know what you mean."
Lin Yao suddenly fell silent, as if the pause button had been pressed on his entire body. He didn't even blink. If the brain had not controlled breathing, he would have stopped even breathing.
What is going on!
The time to witness a miracle has come!
No, the miracle has been witnessed
"Did you kiss me?" Lin Yao glared at Guan Ze.
"Yes," Guan Ze said helplessly, poking his forehead with his finger, "Here."
"It happened too fast. I didn't react..." Lin Yao suddenly felt at a disadvantage. He couldn't help but shout, "Damn it. I didn't react!"
"I'll take you back, let's go." Guan Ze patted him and turned around to leave.
"Come on again, hero. I was so shocked that I didn't really understand it." Lin Yao stood there without moving.
"No," Guan Ze refused bluntly, and walked along the path towards his home, "If you don't want to go back, just stay here."
"No," Lin Yao chased after him, "Even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have a sense of righteousness..."
"What a mess."
Lin Yao felt his forehead was hot, he didn't know if it was because he was excited or too full, but his face was also burning. If it was daytime, you would definitely see that his face was painted red like when he was a child performing shows. According to Lin Zong, your teacher must be from Tibet, and he can apply highland red easily.
Gao Yuan's face turned red, and Lin Yao sat in the car with his hands on his face. Guan Ze was quite good at finding the way, and without his guidance, he actually drove the car around the lake and arrived outside his yard.
Lin Yao had hoped that he would stay with him for a while longer if he took the wrong road, but he was quite depressed when he saw the half-broken Spring Festival couplets flying on the gate of his own house so soon. This thing has been floating for more than half a year and it hasn’t fallen off yet...
"Go to bed early, you have to work tomorrow." Guan Ze didn't turn off the engine.
"Oh." Lin Yao responded but did not get out of the car. Guan Ze's light kiss on his forehead made him feel more dizzy than the thunderous kiss in the hotel.
To him, Guan Ze's kiss that day was more like an act after his desire was aroused, but today's kiss was different.
"What's wrong?" Guan Ze turned his head and looked at him.
"Dizzy," Lin Yao leaned his head on the seat and looked at him, "Come on again, hero."
"You are really hopeless," Guan Ze laughed, "Why are you acting like a child?"
"Let's face it, I'm almost ten years younger than you, uncle."
Guan Ze sighed softly. At times like this, Lin Yao always made people feel reluctant to refuse. He stared at Lin Yao for a while, loosened his seat belt, and leaned over.
