Cheng Feichi's Saturday was even busier than expected.
The breakfast shop took another order from outside, still brown sugar steamed buns. The boss misremembered two hundred as one hundred, and there was not enough brown sugar for cooking. Cheng Feichi rode his bicycle to the vegetable market that had just opened to buy it, and when he came back, he continued to help knead the dough without stopping for a moment.
When the last steamer was loaded, the boss was so grateful that he wiped his hands and took out a hundred yuan and stuffed it into his hand, saying that he hadn’t paid a bonus for so long, and asked him to take it to buy some snacks, but Cheng Feichi refused. I accepted it.
After the tutoring in the morning, instead of going to the library, he went to the hardware market for a walk. I shopped around there, bought a heavy steel bicycle rack with the 100 yuan I just got, borrowed tools from the shop owner, put it on the back of the car after a lot of effort, and tried it myself , the bearing capacity is not bad.
The shopkeeper was a female boss who said with a smile, "Put this on and you can take the girl you like to school."
The number plate of No. 6 High School is nailed to the back of his bicycle, and he can be seen as a student at a glance.
Cheng Feichi shook his head guiltily, with a rare embarrassment on his face. As the relationship deepened, Ye Qin became less and less able to conceal his original habits. He was too lazy to ride a bicycle, and often threw the bicycle to Cheng Feichi for push. Once he was very sleepy after self-study at night, and asked if he could take a bicycle while yawning. For the front bar, let Cheng Feichi figure it out with him.
The back seat of the car is indeed not for carrying the girl you like, but for carrying a little slob.
At noon, I ate a fast food on the side of the road to deal with it, and then continued to do tutoring in the afternoon. Because of carelessness, Wei Jiaqi didn't even get a single point for the two major math questions in the monthly exam, and dropped several rankings. His mother didn't teach him enough, and even Cheng Feichi scolded him, saying that he is a high school student. No, wages will be deducted.
Cheng Feichi is well aware of how much the parents' attitude affects children of this age, so he took all the responsibilities alone, and asked Wei Jiaqi's mother to deduct one month's class fees. Today, he even extended an hour to help Wei Jiaqi analyze the test papers.
Wei Jiaqi was about to cry when she sent him away, and said in a low voice at the door that he would slowly make up for the lost class fees with pocket money. Cheng Feichi comforted him and said, "It's okay, it's not easy for your parents to earn money. No matter how hard you work, they will always pay you back." Will find out someday."
When he got downstairs, Cheng Feichi took a few deep breaths as usual, feeling that the turbid air in his chest was exhausted, and then rode home.
When passing by the bank, I got off the car and took some red notes from the ATM machine. There are hundreds of postings in one day, and if you go on a date tomorrow, you may not have enough money on your body.
At the door of the house, Cheng Feichi was still thinking about how to send Ye Qin a message asking if he was free tomorrow. Although he should have sent the invitation, it was Ye Qin who took the initiative before, and he is still a little unfamiliar with this matter.
The moment he took the key to open the door, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by the two pairs of shoes placed in the entrance.
Cheng Feichi didn't expect that the two elderly people he was looking forward to during the Chinese New Year would make a surprise visit at this time. Cheng Xin was obviously unprepared, and the cups were all freshly taken from the kitchen cabinet.
The older woman sitting on the sofa looked similar to last year. She was wearing a wide gray wool coat and her half-length hair was neatly pinned behind her ears. When she saw Cheng Feichi coming in, she was the first to get up and approach her, and said kindly: "Xiaochi came back."
The atmosphere in the room was dignified, Cheng Feichi said "Hi, grandpa and grandma", and was dragged into the room by grandma.
"Let's give them the place to chat. When they were young, their father and daughter wanted to be good. They often whispered without me, and I couldn't even get in." Grandma smiled, and after entering the room, she focused on Cheng Feichi and sighed, "It's grown taller again, and it's a big boy."
Cheng Feichi gave up the chair to his grandmother and sat on the edge of the bed himself. Grandma flipped through the books on his desk and asked, "You are studying in No. 6 Middle School now?"
Cheng Feichi nodded: "Yes."
"Senior year?"
"No, sophomore."
Grandma was stunned for a moment, then sighed: "Your mother is really too stubborn to tell me about difficulties. Even if her father is still angry, he can't ignore things related to your future."
Cheng Feichi was silent for a moment, and said, "It's only a year's delay, and it's fine now."
"How can the Sixth Middle School be the same as the High School Attached to Normal University?" Grandma shook her head and said, "By the time we found out, you had already dropped out of school, otherwise you would have to ask someone to find out the matter anyway."
Both my grandfather and my grandmother were teachers at the Middle School Attached to Normal University before retirement, and Cheng Xin also attended this middle school.
Cheng Feichi was moved. The two old people were his last relatives besides his mother in this world. Although they didn't see each other twice a year, they still missed him. What's more, they didn't expect that when they heard such a terrible thing, not only did the two old people not question or blame, but they both chose to believe him.
Seeing him in a daze, grandma comforted him and said, "Even if you didn't grow up with us, how can we not know what kind of child you are?" As she spoke, she recalled the past, with a look of sadness on her brows, "Your mother That's right, such a good kid is just too stubborn, if he had listened to us..."
Suddenly there was a violent voice from outside: "I think you are crazy, are you addicted to being someone else's outside room?"
Grandma hurriedly stood up and went out, followed by Cheng Feichi. When I went to the living room outside, I saw my grandfather standing with his hands behind his back, and Cheng Xin was facing him.
Grandma stepped forward to pull Grandpa's arm: "Speak well if you have something to say, it's rare to see each other all year round, so don't shout."
"She also knows that it's rare to see each other all year round? She left as soon as she said back then, and she hasn't come back for twenty years!" After finishing speaking, the grandfather turned back to Cheng Xin again, "What a skill you are, you got pregnant before you were married, and your parents are gone. , now living in this broken house and letting your children suffer with you, is this what I taught you to be a man with backbone?"
Grandpa was already seventy years old, and his scolding voice was no longer loud. Cheng Feichi saw that his raised hands were shaking.
Cheng Xin kept silent, and grandma couldn't help it, she covered her mouth and turned her face away, and for a while, only the sound of her sobbing was heard in the room.
Cheng Feichi gave grandma a tissue, but grandpa finally let go, and said in a slow tone: "In short, cut off contact with those people first, even if you don't care about face, you should at least consider your children."
Hearing the word "face", Cheng Xin, who had been silent all this time, suddenly reacted. She raised her head slightly, her eyes were calm and composed, and she responded as if stating the facts: "I am not an outsider."
I sent my grandparents to a taxi, and it was already dark outside.
When Cheng Feichi returned home, Cheng Xin was cooking porridge in the kitchen. He didn't respond to the sound of the door closing and didn't turn his head.
Cheng Feichi had a lot of questions he wanted to ask his mother. He confirmed some guesses from his grandfather's words, and pieced together a relatively complete fact together with the fragments of the past. He wanted to ask Cheng Xin what he was doing now for the sake of His future is still purely due to his own selfish desires.
However, Cheng Xin didn't intend to answer his doubts at all, and calmly asked him at the dinner table if he had seen the information of the foreign school that he had shown him, as if nothing had happened just now.
Cheng Feichi's heart was full of anger, and he once again stated that he would not go abroad.
Cheng Xin remained calm: "Let's talk about it next semester. You can go directly to university without taking the preparatory course."
Cheng Feichi stood up abruptly, his gloomy face was enough to see the suppressed anger in his heart.
This is the few times he has defied his mother recently. He doesn't know if this is considered unfilial. At least compared to what his grandfather said his mother did, his disobedience can only be regarded as childish and ridiculous adolescent rebellion.
But what is even more ridiculous is that without Cheng Xin's "unfilial piety" back then, he would not be standing here now.
Cheng Feichi was a little dazed for a moment, as if watching helplessly many contradictory thoughts tangled and collided in his mind, turning into knots that could not be untied one after another.
After returning to the room and sitting for a while, Cheng Feichi managed to hold his breath. When he passed the living room to go to the bathroom, he saw Cheng Xin's thin back standing by the pool, his heart softened again.
After all, it was his mother, the mother who worked hard to raise him alone.
It was at this time that Ye Qin's text message came in. Cheng Feichi just wanted to go out to get some air, so he went to the entrance to change his shoes.
Cheng Xin asked him where he was going, he said to find a classmate, took the key, opened the door and went out.
Zhongshan Road is located in the south of the city, surrounded by mountains and rivers. It is a well-known area where rich people gather in the capital. The surrounding area is full of villas and houses. Even the roads are cleaner and brighter than other places.
Cheng Feichi was not familiar with this area. After getting off the bus, he turned on his mobile phone to use the navigation function, and asked two passers-by along the way before he touched the Nanshan mansion Ye Qin mentioned.
The lights at the door are bright, and the glass windows are polished to a light, so you can see the magnificence in the hall at a glance. Even if he had never been here, Cheng Feichi could guess that this was a place for the rich to play.
He was blocked by the security guards and couldn't get in. He stood outside the door and sent Ye Qin a message: [I'm here, at the door]
In less than a minute, there was a lot of noise in a private room in the clubhouse. Zhou Feng held Ye Qin's mobile phone and laughed loudly: "Look, look, he's really here!"
Zhao Yue went up to confirm: "Yo, it's really here, it's obedient enough."
Sun Yiran just came back from having her face done, and asked without knowing the truth, "Who's here?"
Ye Qin drank three glasses of wine during the hour of waiting. At this time, his cheeks were flushed, and he snatched the mobile phone stolen by Zhou Feng with his hands, and said triumphantly: "I told you, you still don't believe it."
Liu Yangfan cocked his mouth in a half-smile, slapped his thigh and said, "That's it, let's meet him at the door."
Ye Qin immediately changed his face and grabbed him: "Don't go."
Zhao Yue: "Hey, Aqin's heart hurts, and he doesn't want us to touch him."
Ye Qin gave him a fierce look, hiccupped, shook his head and said, "Let... let him wait at the door."
Sun Yiran was confused, seeing that Ye Qin didn't say anything, she turned to ask Zhou Feng, Zhou Feng made a movement of zipping his mouth, Zhao Yue and Liu Yangfan also just laughed and said nothing. She was curious and wanted to go out and see for herself when she stood up.
Ye Qin was so drunk that he still remembered that Sun Yiran was chasing Cheng Feichi earlier, when the alarm bell rang, he jumped up three steps and took two steps to block the door: "No one is allowed to go, whoever goes, I will break up with whoever!"
"Okay, okay, sit down and rest," Liu Yangfan brought a glass of fruit juice to each of them, and explained to Sun Yiran, "The servant of Aqin's family, we bet just now whether he can find the way, There is nothing to see, and he left by himself when he couldn’t wait for anyone.”
Sun Yiran took the juice with half-belief, inspected a few people, and said, "You guys are good or bad."
Zhou Feng smiled without hesitation, pulled Ye Qin back from the door, and said meaningfully: "The servant is there to order, how can this be considered bad."
Ye Qin sat back on the sofa, his heart was still depressed, he was not happy about winning the "bet" at all. He was too strong to drink, and even a few glasses of wine with extremely low alcohol concentration gave him a headache, and his head was as messed up as if it had been stuffed with paste.
The others played all night yesterday, and they are all tired now. As the only girl here, Sun Yiran naturally occupied the only lounge in the private room. Liu Yangfan turned down the sound of the literary film on the projection screen, and several people collapsed on the sofa or recliner and dozed off.
Under the influence of alcohol, Ye Qin also gradually felt tired. He rubbed his forehead, hugged the soft pillow and slowly closed his eyes.
When I woke up again, the clock on the wall pointed to half past nine at night.
Ye Qin had promised his mother to go home to sleep tonight on the phone during the day, sat up and twisted his neck, his head was no longer dizzy.
Picking up the jacket that was thrown on the carpet, he kicked Zhou Feng's butt hanging on the edge of the sofa, which made him hum in his dream, chanting "Call me again, brother."
Walking in the aisle, Ye Qin took out his mobile phone and took a look. There was a missed call from Cheng Feichi, which was an hour ago. After doing this calculation, he waited at the door for less than an hour before leaving. Ye Qin curled his lips, thinking that he was wise, so he didn't call again to wake himself up.
Walking to the lobby at the entrance, a waiter greeted him and said that it was raining outside, and asked if he could park the car for him at the gate. Ye Qin handed over the car keys, put his hands in his pockets, and walked around the lobby leisurely. Appreciate the famous paintings of masters that Liu Yangfan's father bought arty and hang on the wall, and then wander to the door idly to see how heavy the rain is outside.
The spring rain is as thin and continuous as silk threads, and it is dark outside, so the visibility is extremely low. But Yeqin could see a person standing beside the stone pillar in the porch outside through the rain curtain.
The man was also looking this way, and then walked slowly. When he walked up to him, Ye Qin saw that his hair was wet in strands by the rain, and his body was also wet. The coat was stained darkly from the shoulders to the chest, and the clothes inside might have been damaged as well.
"It's over?" Cheng Feichi spoke first, "Let's go, I'll take a taxi for you."
"Hey." Ye Qin called out to Cheng Feichi, who was about to turn around, and accidentally touched the corner of his clothes with the hand hanging by his side, feeling the damp coldness of the rain.
Cheng Feichi turned his head and asked him what was wrong with his eyes. Ye Qin's throat rolled twice, but he didn't know what to say.
He watched a drop of rainwater slide down from Cheng Feichi's forehead, across the flat brow, along the high bridge of the nose, meandering and sliding to the tip of the nose, and finally dripping on the shoulder, disappearing into the fabric.
After a while, Ye Qin finally found his voice: "I'm driving, and the doorman is here to help me pick up the car."
After hearing what he said, Cheng Feichi turned around with a hesitant expression.
Just when Ye Qin thought he was going to ask why he had to pick him up after driving, he said, "You're drunk, you can't drive."
Five minutes later, the two got into a taxi together. Cheng Feichi reported the name of Ye Qin's community, and waited for the car to drive smoothly on the road before he wiped his face with his sleeve and brushed aside the wet hair on his forehead.
Sensing the eyes gathered on him, he turned his head to look at Ye Qin: "What's wrong?"
Ye Qin hurriedly looked away, shook his head and remained silent.
The rain gradually weakened at the gate of the community. After getting off the car, Cheng Feichi took Ye Qin along the shaded road. His pace was a bit fast, and Ye Qin couldn't keep up. He called him from behind: "Hello."
Cheng Feichi stopped in response, but Ye Qin faltered, followed slowly with slumped shoulders, not daring to look at him: "You, are you angry?"
How does this look look like a child waiting for criticism, Cheng Feichi's lips curved slightly: "Are you not angry anymore?"
It took Ye Qin a long time to realize that he was talking about the deliberate alienation a few days ago, and he was even more embarrassed immediately, his face flushed: "I won't give birth... No, I won't, I won't get angry."
His mind was in a mess, and he stuttered as he spoke. Thinking of Cheng Feichi standing in the rain waiting for him for two hours, his chest was swollen and numb, as if something was about to rush out.
What responded to him was Cheng Feichi's unchanging word: "Okay."
"What's the matter, you're fine!" Ye Qin couldn't hold back immediately, he didn't know if he was angry with him or himself, "You wouldn't make more phone calls before I came out? Also, for such a grown-up, you just Don’t know where to hide from the rain?”
Cheng Feichi was scolded inexplicably, but the curvature of his smile became more obvious, with smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows: "It's good not to be angry."
He didn't tell Ye Qin about the fact that people were not allowed to stand in front of the clubhouse. He had never been in or out of that kind of place, and he subconsciously didn't want to cause trouble for Ye Qin.
Ye Qin was speechless by Cheng Feichi's good temper, and he would rather teach him with a sullen face like before that "you are responsible for what you have done", even if you take him to the police station to scare him.
He didn't understand that this kind of emotion is called guilt. He just felt uncomfortable and needed to vent. After thinking about it for a long time, he groaned and said: "I told you to ignore me before, but now you know how uncomfortable it is?"
Cheng Feichi almost laughed out loud. In order to save face for Ye Qin, he coughed lightly and said frankly, "Well, I'm not feeling well."
The two continued to walk for a while, and when it was time to say goodbye, Cheng Feichi took out four lollipops from his pocket, and Ye Qin immediately swept away the haze and smiled, "For me?"
Of course he knew it was for him, but he still wanted to get acknowledgment from Cheng Feichi. When he swiped to that circle of friends today, he was very depressed.
Cheng Feichi's answer was straightforward: "Well, it's for you."
Ye Qin stuffed the lollipop into the pocket of the sweater inside, and immediately there was a lump in his stomach. The kid who had just admitted his mistake just now turned into a kid who returned home full of loads and joy.
The kid packed up the candy and was about to go home. He walked out two steps and then turned around. Looking around the quiet and deserted surroundings, he stroked Feichi's fingers and whispered, "Come here."
Cheng Feichi took a step in front of him.
"Oh, let me lean over."
For the first time, Ye Qin felt that Cheng Feichi was stunned, and raised his hand to hook his neck, forcing him to lean over and bow his head, then leaned over and touched his face lightly with his lips.
After kissing Ye Qin, he was dumbfounded.
It was as if someone threw a spark into his body, and the heat exploded from the inside to the outside one after another, making his whole body almost burn.
... This is completely different from what Zhou Feng said about holding the left hand with the right hand, kissing the right cheek with the left cheek!
Before Cheng Feichi came back to his senses, Ye Qin stammered and said "Thank you for the candy", turned around and fled.
