However, Yan Xi's expression soon returned to normal, he put away his mobile phone, turned his head and said, "I'll go down and print a worksheet for you in a while. If you want to work tomorrow, wait for the No. 19 bus at the stop downstairs. Go directly to the city. There is a lot of work, such as handing out flyers and pretending to be dolls. When there is an exhibition, you will also hire short-term workers. You only need to bring guests in to watch the exhibition, and you will get a commission.”
Yan Xi moved very quickly, and he printed out the worksheet before his next trip to the building. Moreover, he also brought a ravioli to Tang Mu.
Not long after, someone brought up new luggage.
When Tang Mu took the quilt, he felt the silky texture.
Tang Mu couldn't help but muttered to himself: "The quality of the quilt covers in your workers' apartment is so good."
The visitor was stunned for a moment, as if he was about to say something, but after seeing Yan Xi's stern eyes, he quickly shut his mouth.
After Yan Xi closed the door, he glanced at the two suitcases at his door, and asked Tang Mu, "You just moved in, need to clean up? Do you want me to help you?"
Tang Mu didn't dare to bother him any more, and said directly: "No need, I can do the rest myself. You are busy in advance."
Yan Xi let out a slightly disappointed "Oh".
He stood up and re-examined the furnishings in the room before pointing to the wontons on the table: "Eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Saying that, Yan Xi got up slowly, one step, two steps, three steps. When he counted to four, Tang Mu finally stopped him: "Brother Yan..."
Yan Xi paused, put his hands in his pockets, and did not look back.
Tang Mu bowed to him sincerely: "Thank you."
Yan Xi paused for a while, but there was no reply.
Tang Mu hurriedly explained: "I heard Brother Wang call you Xiaoyan, so I called you Brother Yan on my own."
Yan Xi then said: "My name is Yan Xi, we are not much different, you can just call me by my name. Also, don't use the word "you", it sounds awkward."
Tang Mu said immediately: "Okay, Yan...xi."
Yan Xi unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and then turned to leave.
On the way back, Yan Xi couldn't help posting a Moments: "The name Yan Xi is so nice."
Yan Xisu's two best friends in the day like and comment respectively.
- Guan Hongtu: "I'm going, Brother Xi is still so narcissistic!"
- Li Bochao: "I also think it sounds good."
- Guan Hongtu replied to Li Bochao: "Brother Chao's flattery is on the rise."
Yan Xi ignored the two bad friends. He put away his mobile phone and leisurely recalled the person who called his name...
sounds so good!
However, Yan Xi did not forget to call his relatives in S Town.
Yan Kuang is the child of Yan Xi's uncle's uncle. After graduating from vocational high school, he has been running a restaurant in his hometown.
When Yan Xi worships his ancestors every year, he returns to S Town to see Yan Kuang, his cousin.
Yan Xi's father is the third oldest, and his two uncles are only Yan Kuang's father's family whose economic conditions are a little worse. But in the town of S, he is also a local tyrant.
In fact, Yan Kuang likes to play with Yan Xi, but Yan Xi thinks that he is vulgar and uncaring, so he doesn't communicate with Yan Kuang very much in private.
Yan Kuang was also taken aback when he received Yan Xi's call: "Oh, my little brother actually knows to call me?"
Yan Xi said straight to the point: "Brother, do you know the Zhou family who lives next door to yours?"
"Zhou Maoguo's family? I know. What's wrong?"
Yan Xi asked, "What happened to their family recently?"
Yan Kuang snorted lightly: "What can happen to their family? The biggest thing is that a small coal kiln newly acquired by Zhou Maoguo has excavated coal again. Few bosses were willing to accept it, so I asked him to take his fancy. If this goes on, Zhou Maoguo will soon become the richest man in our town."
That's not what Yan Xi wanted to hear. He went straight to the point: "That's not what I asked. He has a stepson named Tang Mu. Has there been any movement from that Tang Mu recently?"
Yan Kuang said: "You mean the son that his wife brought over? What can he do? That kid is awesome. I haven't seen him a few times since he came to our town for so many years. His brother Zhou Jicheng said that apart from going to school, he didn't even go out of their house the rest of the time."
What Yan Kuang said, Yan Xi already knew.
Yan Kuang said a lot, but he didn't focus on the key points. Although Yan Xi was a little impatient, but after all, he had something to ask for, so he still asked patiently: "Brother, why don't you help me go to the next door of your house to have a look? , or go out to find out if something happened to their house? For example, did Zhou Jicheng bully people again? And that Tang Mu, what did he do away from home? And Tang Mu, what the hell is he doing? Find out and call me back."
Yan Kuang was silent for a while, and then he replied: "Are you begging your brother? If you beg your brother, you have to help."
Yan Xi's face became gloomy, but she still replied patiently: "Okay, as long as you can help me check the situation of their family, I will pass the contact information to you when I meet a good girl after school starts."
Yan Kuang's girlfriend changed very frequently, a typical scumbag. After he graduated, it was not as easy to contact girls as in school, so he put his mind on Yan Xi, hoping that Yan Xi could help him find a few.
Yan Xi didn't want Yan Kuang to harm the little girl and never ignored him.
Letting go today is just a stopgap measure.
Yan Kuang laughed, and Quan Dang Yan Xi agreed.
Yan Kuang's speed was fast. After two hours, he figured out everything. This is how he replied to Yan Xi: "I asked Zhou Jicheng, and he said that Tang Mu went back to his grandma's house. As usual, stay home."
Yan Xi didn't quite know what happened to the Zhou family. Tang Mu clearly ran away from home, but when he came to Zhou Jicheng's mouth, he changed his words.
Did Tang Mu sneak away without telling his family, or was Zhou Jicheng lying
Yan Xi asked Yan Kuang to continue to observe the situation of the Zhou family, and hung up the phone.
Yan Xi knew Tang Mu since he was twelve years old. He also thought that Tang Mu could recognize himself in the Honghan chess and card room today.
It's a pity that Tang Mu didn't remember who he was at all.
When Yan Xi first saw Tang Mu, he wore a female No. 5 head, and he thought it was a little girl without looking straight.
Yan Xi, who has always been reluctant to talk to Yan Kuang, rarely asked Yan Kuang, "Whose family is that little girl? She's pretty."
Yan Kuang immediately laughed at him: "You are blind, that's a little boy."
Yan Xi was only stunned for a while, and then asked again, "What's his name?"
Yan Kuang: "It's called Tang Mu, the son brought over by Zhou Maoguo's wife. That kid is boring. He doesn't speak when he sees people. He is withdrawn and arrogant just like you."
From that time on, Yan Xi began to pay attention to Tang Mu.
Every year when he went home to worship his ancestors, he would stand in Yan Kuang's courtyard and look next door. When I'm lucky, I can look at Tang Mu through the window.
It was only after Yan Xi went to high school that she saw that other people were in love, and then she realized that that feeling is called liking.
Yan Xi didn't know much about relationships. He only remembered that he asked his mother, "Can boys like boys too?"
Yan Xi's mother seemed to be frightened by him, and immediately covered his mouth with a stern expression: "What nonsense? How can a man like a man? Unless it's a pervert."
After that, Yan Xi dared not mention this matter to her mother again, so she could only keep it silently in her heart.
It wasn't until he returned home to worship his ancestors in his second year of high school that Yan Kuang said something.
Yan Kuang said that Zhou Jicheng blocked Tang Mu to the corner because he was jealous because of the competition.
Yan Kuang also said that after Tang Mu was beaten by Zhou Jicheng, he did not dare to tell his family. It is precisely because of this that Zhou Jicheng is more confident.
There was a bit of gloating in Yan Kuang's tone: "You know what? Tang Mu was still on the toilet at the time, with his pants up. Zhou Jicheng just punched him when he got in, and he punched the kid."
"The one with Tang Mu's small arms and calves is not Zhou Jicheng's opponent at all. And that Tang Mu is still a coward. Zhou Jicheng asked him not to contact Wang Keke again, but he actually agreed. Damn, even the girl he likes dare not dare. Chase, I'll say that Tang Mu doesn't look like a man."
"You said that Wang Keke is also good. It's not good to like it. I don't like Tang Mu's thin and white face. This kid Tang Mu, apart from studying better, I think he is useless."
Yan Xi's face was very ugly at the time, and he even said a few words to Yan Kuang: "What does other people's affairs have to do with you? Why is your mouth so broken?"
Yan Kuang was immediately unhappy, he almost had to fight with Yan Xi at that time. But for some reason, he was frightened back by Yan Xi's cold eyes at that time.
Yan Kuang is strong and strong, and he thinks he has beaten Yan Xi. But if he did anything to Yan Xi, his father would have to kill him.
Yan Xi's family is richer than his family, Yan Xi learns better than him, Yan Xi is more noble and elegant than him, and Yan Xi looks like his mother, too handsome.
For various reasons, Yan Kuang always felt that he was shorter than Yan Xi. It seems that he is not as good as Yan Xi except that he is a few years older than Yan Xi.
Yan Xi is like the little ancestor of their family. Every time he goes back to town, relatives and friends gather around him and praise him.
However, after learning about Tang Mu and Wang Keke's relationship, Yan Xi didn't go back to town much.
It was also at that time that Yan Xi knew that Tang Mu was different from him. Tang Mu liked women.
More than one person has told Yan Xi that homosexuality is perverted.
Yan Xi didn't dare to take that step. After learning that Tang Mu likes girls, he really gave up.
Until today, he saw him again.
Those feelings that he thought he could give up, slowly grew, until they spread to the point where he couldn't control himself.
Yan Xi has secretly liked Tang Mu for six years.
This was the first time Tang Mu had gotten so close to him in the past six years.
Since the Zhou family mistakenly thought that Tang Mu was returning to his grandmother's house, he didn't want to break this point.
It would be good to keep him around for a few more days.
Yan Xi lives in the building opposite Tang Mu.
Tang Mu's room was chosen by him, just for the convenience of peeking at him.
Yan Xi moved a stool and sat on the balcony, looking at the busy figure in the opposite building so dryly, without moving.
It's good that he can watch him quietly again.
He didn't even know how long he had been sitting, only that after the person in the opposite building drew the curtains, the sky was already dark...
