Although I live in a satellite city, due to the huge population, the nearby consumption places are relatively complete. The two of them had been to the cinema on the top floor of a shopping mall several times over the weekend. Ye Ji'an vaguely remembered that after going down the escalator and turning a corner, there was a small shop specializing in puzzles next to a video game mall.
Sure enough, he remembered correctly. He went for a walk before lunch, and saw that although the shop was small and well-equipped, it was three-dimensional on a plane. Unopened suits are piled high. The shopping guide was sitting at the checkout counter and speculating in stocks, and he didn't pay much attention to people. Ye Ji'an carefully observed those delicate little objects. Unlike the children's toys with thick branches and leaves in the impression, most of these professional puzzle pieces are the size of the thumb pulp, and there are even smaller ones. They look thin and fragile. If they are pinched for a long time, they may become tidal. side.
Ye Ji Anxin said that this father-in-law is no wonder that he is a man who can make a lot of money. He has the heart to deal with this kind of thing and regards it as a hobby. If it is changed, he might start thinking about death halfway through. To put it mildly, he just wanted to die. However, since this time, since he has to accompany his father-in-law to fight, the more complicated it is, the better. Ye Ji'an has also made plans to be patient. He expected to choose a spell with a big picture and beautiful colors, preferably with a bit of meaning.
"Napoleon statue, Picasso starry sky, etc., your dad should have tried it all," he asked Liang Xiao, "that kind of enthusiast."
"Well," Liang Xiao put his face in his pocket and looked through the boxes one by one, squinting, "Actually, most of these have been spelled out, especially famous foreign paintings. I spent a lot of time with him when I was a child."
Ye Ji'an was worried, "What about the Chinese one? The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival?" He put his hands behind his back and stared at the largest box.
"That's too big, I can't hang it at home," Liang Xiao smiled, suddenly straightened his arms, pulled a small white box from the top of the cabinet, and showed it to him, "Just spell this."
The print on it is all in Japanese, but Ye Ji'an can also understand it, such as the title, "Pure White の Hell".
"There are only 1,000 pieces, so it's very small." Liang Xiao looked at Feng Pi and said.
Ye Ji'an swallowed, "...Are you sure? It's all white, I'm dazzled."
"My dad has always said that he wants to fight this, but he always talks about it without taking any action, obviously it can be bought online," Liang Xiao squeezed the small flat cardboard box between his two fingers and turned it around lightly. Turn, "I can't escape this time!"
Ye Ji'an always felt that the person in front of him was a little gloating.
But the smile is so pure.
So angels and demons exist at the same time and switch at will
Suddenly, Ye Ji'an was taken aback by his own description. He chased Liang Xiao to the checkout counter. Although it was not valuable, he was a guest to visit his father, so he couldn't ask Liang Xiao to pay.
In addition to the devil puzzle, Liang Xiao also picked a picture frame of the right size, saying that it could assist in splicing. After that, he held the gift that he was about to give to his father in one hand, and Ye Ji'an, who was about to be introduced to his father, in the other. Satisfied, I went downstairs to eat seafood hot pot.
The team building in the afternoon started as scheduled, and its anti-humanity level really lived up to expectations. From 1:30 onwards, hundreds of employees in Wuyang and Wuyang rushed to the cold wind as if they were running for their lives, and it was only at the beginning of 6 o'clock that they successfully bypassed the Olympic Sports Park. Ye Ji'an first stayed for a while among the group of ministers and supervisors surrounding the general manager, and after a short walk, he quietly returned to his department. A few young people immediately gathered around and complained. They were more aggrieved than working overtime for half a month. Ye Ji'an comforted them heartily and gave them chocolates and warm babies.
I saw Liang Xiao was about a dozen steps away, still in the same outfit he was wearing when he set off. The Canada Goose's down jacket was wrapped around his calf, his eyes were all buried in the scarf, and he was wearing a dark red woolen hat on his head. Maybe It is the advantage of long legs. Although he is tightly wrapped, he walks neither in a hurry nor slow, and he is very comfortable. He always stays in the middle of the department team, and he does not chat with people.
Ye Ji'an knew that he was in a state of letting go, and he had to come here from time to time. He didn't know what jumping candy was in his head, maybe it was the common hobby of smart people. After taking a closer look, he realized that Liang Xiao was also wearing a pair of bluetooth headphones. Ye Ji'an had experienced the noise canceling effect of the headphones. When he shouted here, Liang Xiao couldn't hear him, so he put the person who distributed the supplies. He handed it over to Xiao Li of the General Department, squatted down and pretended to tie his shoelaces, and when Liang Xiao came to his side, he stood up.
Liang Xiao also saw him, stopped and pulled the earphone down, "Senior."
Ye Ji'an walked side by side with him, "Are you tired?"
"No, it's just that the earphones are running out of power," Liang Xiao sighed, "It's so boring!"
"Take your hand out." Ye Ji'an touched him with his elbow.
Liang Xiao obeyed obediently, and just opened his palm, two chocolates fell on his hand, and the metal candy wrapper was a little brightly lit by the sun.
"The blueberry nuts you like," Ye Ji'an said softly, "there's still more after eating."
This candy still had body temperature, Liang Xiao peeled one off, the shape of the chocolate cylinder was still there, but the texture was very soft, "Aren't you going to eat it, senior?"
"I'm afraid of gaining weight! I just ate hot pot at noon," Ye Ji'an said depressedly, "I will have more flesh on my body in winter. If I don't control my waist, I'll just go straight to the waist. It's too ugly to wear a shirt like that."
As a lucky young guy with a fast metabolism and no matter how much he eats, Liang Xiao didn't want to draw hatred. He nodded, silently ate two love candies, and licked the melted chocolate sauce on the candy wrapper. After finding a trash can to throw away the rubbish, he put his pockets in and ran back to Ye Ji'an, "Spring is coming, and senior hasn't grown any fat recently, and his waist is still very thin."
Ye Ji'an worried that there were colleagues before and after, and whispered: "You can fool me."
Liang Xiao also kept his voice very low, but this did not prevent him from being serious, "I can feel it."
Ye Ji'an glared over lightly, but seemed to be a little happy.
Liang Xiao smiled: "It seems to be a little longer on the butt."
Ye Ji'an retracted her chin, hid her face in the high collar of the sweater, and said in a muffled voice, "Oh, thank you for the compliment!"
Talking about this kind of thing in a pile of colleagues, the inevitable result is that you can only cover your face with a collar, but Ye Ji'an has to admit that he was a little excited when he was told, and he wanted to find a public toilet along the road, drag the culprit in, at least kiss the culprit. Take two bites.
At the same time, what might be called nervousness was also dissipated a lot from the pressure in the bottom of the heart and the flickering on the forehead.
This sense of relaxation continued until the moment he actually arrived at the banquet venue. A small hutong near Chang'an Street, a three-story building with a single courtyard, surrounded by large locust trees, and a middle school next to it, not far from their company, and what's more, the country can be reached in two steps. Grand Theater. This address itself is amazing enough. It can only be said that money can make ghosts run the mill, and it can also be a neighbor with Zhongnanhai.
Liang Xiao was still not surprised, he stopped Xiaobu under the tree casually, and turned off the Oasis Band in the stereo. The housekeeper Feng was waiting at the gate of the courtyard. As soon as he pushed the red door with nails on it, Liang Xiao took Ye Ji'an and walked over the threshold together into the courtyard.
Several flower trees have been decorated with buds, and they look very similar to the elm plum blossoms in the Summer Palace. Walking along the path, they also bypassed a pool that has not melted through the ice. Ye Ji'an came to the front of the house. But there are still some flavors of the Republic of China, perhaps the old buildings left behind, and the darkness around them can't be seen clearly.
The housekeeper talked about the welcome, and pushed the door open. Liang Xiao hurried in and looked around the living room for a week. When no one was seen, he shouted, "Dad! We're back!"
No one answered, Liang Xiao shouted again, "Where are you!"
This time, footsteps immediately came from the stairs, but they sounded very light. The girl who was about seven or eight years old jumped downstairs, "Brother Xiaoxiao!" She ran up and threw her head on Liang Xiao. , but the down jacket was too thick, and she struggled to hold it.
"Xiaoguo!" The housekeeper scolded.
Liang Xiao smiled and tugged at her braid, "It's grown taller again."
"Really?" The little girl raised her head and blinked happily.
"Really! At least three centimeters." Liang Xiao raised one hand to guarantee the ticket, then gently took off her two short arms that were glued to him, and held Ye Ji'an's wrist to introduce, "This is Xiaoguo, Uncle Feng's. daughter."
Ye Ji'an was just looking around at the interior decoration. It was not as luxurious and exaggerated as he imagined, but rather a simple and practical style. The hollow decorative cabinets on the walls were filled with books. At this time, he was introduced to the child, and he squatted down and shook hands with people in a serious way, "Hello Xiaoguo, how old are you this year?"
"Seven years old!" Xiaoguo grinned at him, "Are you brother Xiaoxiao's boyfriend?"
Ye Ji'an was surprised and nodded, "He told you about me."
"I tell it every time I go home!" Xiaoguo snapped her fingers and said again, "Mama Hu also said it, my dad said it too, and Uncle Chu said it too, but Brother Xiaoxiao said it the most, and said you are, Dream lover!"
Liang Xiao corrected: "It's not that exaggerated."
Ye Ji'an couldn't take it anymore, I'm just calling me a celebrity before I met him, he thought, rubbing the little girl's head with messy hair, "It's the first time I met, I wasn't ready, I'll give it to you next time. You buy delicious food."
Xiaoguo nodded heavily, her eyes were shining, she seemed to be looking forward to the next gift, but she lost her patience after seeing Liang Xiao chatting with the housekeeper, "Still outside?"
"Well, I went to the 301 hospital. An old friend is critically ill. Maybe he can't make it through tonight. Your dad has to go and have a look." When he came, he put several plates of freshly cut fruits on the coffee table, greeted Ye Ji'an affectionately, and took Xiaoguo away with a happy expression on his face.
Liang Xiao was not very happy, "Then say it in advance, we are all here."
"It's not a coincidence that I just left, and I suddenly received a call saying that my old friend is dying. Maybe I haven't had time to send you a text message," the housekeeper sighed, "I don't know if I can come back tonight, Director Ye. Are you in a hurry?"
Ye Ji'an hurriedly said, "It's alright, isn't it just the weekend tomorrow?"
The housekeeper asked politely: "Then just stay for one night and have a good gathering tomorrow. Can you see? It must be very tired when the old man comes back, and it is too late."
Ye Ji'an just waited for him to say this. It happened that he also felt that it would be beneficial for him to adapt to the environment. He had slept in this house for one night, and then he would eat at the same table with his father-in-law. He didn't even bother, if people asked him anything, he should be able to answer with high marks.
"No problem, just to cause you trouble," he said.
The housekeeper smiled, "Where, it's because we didn't arrange carefully enough—"
Liang Xiao interrupted the business and gave each other politely, "I was going to stay for one night, but I didn't plan to go back to the Fifth Ring Road in the middle of the night." He frowned, still not very happy, "Is the meal ready? We don't Wait for him."
The housekeeper led the two through a corridor with a wry smile and came to the restaurant. The table full of delicacies was already set up. Liang Xiao was not polite, sat down on the sofa chair, patted the vacant seat beside him, and Ye Ji'an obediently beside him. There are three cups of soup, and three sets of tableware. There are more than a dozen dishes in total. The mixed aroma really makes people appetite.
However, Ye Ji'an still didn't rush to move the chopsticks, "How about we pull out a little bit of each item, don't eat it like this."
Liang Xiao put down the spoon in confusion, "Why?"
Ye Ji'an thought for a while, "That's it... I think I don't consider myself an outsider now, isn't it rude?"
"I'm not an outsider in the first place," Liang Xiao rubbed his shoulders, "and we don't eat it today, and we will make new ones tomorrow. These will have to be brought to the yard to feed stray cats and dogs."
Although this may sound like extravagance, it cannot be denied that the truth is like this. Ye Ji'an gave up the pointless struggle in his heart, wiped his hands with a wet towel, and peeled off the shrimp, "Would you like vinegar or soy sauce?"
"None of them." Liang Xiao approached Ye Ji'an and grabbed the tender red shrimp.
After dinner, Ye Ji'an asked Mother Hu for a few recipes for making mutton, because the one he made was rather fishy and he didn't like it. Liang Xiao helped him with face every time, and it was also very hard. When he came out of the kitchen, as soon as he entered the living room, he saw Liang Xiao sitting on the carpet and making a cup of tea, and Xiaoguo applauded him from the side.
Ye Ji'an put down his sleeves that he had just rolled up, and sat down beside him cross-legged. The two played a few games together, and they couldn't pass the level. Xiaoguo took advantage of the situation and said, "I want to play flying chess!"
Liang Xiao was still in love, and said coldly, "I don't want to play."
Ye Ji'an was also excited, and still said softly, "Xiaoguo wait a minute, okay?"
Xiaoguo jumped off the back of the sofa and angrily went to find Hu Ma.
Ye Ji'an leaned on Liang Xiao's shoulder, "It's over, let's run away from the popularity."
Liang Xiao's eyes were fixed, "I have to kill this Medusa. Play with her tomorrow."
The battle went on until the early ten o'clock. The old man still didn't come back, but Liang Xiao was so happy that he dropped the gamepad and took Ye Ji'an upstairs, without any intention of waiting. The bedroom has its own bathroom, but there is no set or oil. It is not easy to do anything else. Ye Ji'an takes a shower and puts on the clothes that Liang Xiao brought him out. The surround sound is still playing the song of Oasis. Liang Xiao is The hammock swayed, turned to look at him, his eyes lit up.
"Senior, red suits you very well."
Ye Ji'an took a look at the long hem of the shirt and rolled his eyes, "Is it better without pants? You have a similar one at home. I wanted to wear it like that for you last time."
"I went to take a shower." Liang Xiao seemed ashamed, and quickly shut himself into the bathroom.
Ye Ji'an then smiled secretly, and walked around the house holding the waist pole. I didn't have time to take a closer look just now. This room is bigger than his own living room, but it doesn't look empty. There are a few shelves that were supposed to be used for keeping the palace box, and now they are decorated with well-kept greenery. Plants, the walls are covered with various posters, most of which are rock bands, including some Avengers members. There are also several tables stacked with professional readings and detective novels, calculation paper and comic books, and a few picture frames on the table against the wall.
Ye Ji'an looked at them one by one, so Liang Xiao who smirked in kindergarten, Liang Xiao who entered adolescence with a rebellious face, Liang Xiao who just went abroad and stood at the door of an American high school with less interest than scissors, and a bachelor's uniform holding a college graduation The smiling Liang Xiao all had specific images in his heart.
The level has been stable, and it is true that he has been able to shoot commercials since he was a child.
He also saw the older brother who lived in the description, the one from high school. He was wearing a suit and hanging a badge. He stood at the school gate with Liang Xiao. His face and eyebrows were eight-point similar, but Liang Xiao was indifferent. Seriously impatient.
Next to them is the mother.
Ye Ji'an stared at the delicate and thin woman, saw her weightless smile, stayed for a while, and sat back on the bed. He felt a little uncomfortable, but it was not his mourning for the stranger. After all, they didn't know each other, and they had never met or said a word. He just felt that from this photo, from these three people, he could Seeing Liang Xiao's unhappiness.
Including the later graduation photos, are you really happy
Perhaps in the process of growing up, Liang Xiao had a lot of happy moments, but the nodes he photographed and laid out did not seem to be included. Ye Ji'an wanted to see more, but he knew he couldn't, so he stood up and walked around the house, constantly thinking about how many things happened in this house? All of them are invisible to me, including Liang Xiao, who had just returned to China half a year ago, must also live here, and must not be owned by him.
If Liang Xiao hadn't taken the initiative to talk to him at first, then everything now would not have happened. Ye Ji'an suddenly felt ashamed of his passiveness. He thought that it would be nice if he were here. How many years in the morning, or not so greedy, even if it was only a few months or a few days in the morning
Just looking around aimlessly, Ye Ji'an's eyes are still very sharp. Judging from the newness, he found that the hammock is obviously more commonly used than the serious bed, so he also went up and shook it for a while, the speaker was singing Wonderwall, etc. The song changed several times and his hair was about to dry when he jumped out of the hammock.
Then he stood on the carpet and took off his sweatpants, the red shirt still covering his ass.
After waiting for Liang Xiao to wipe his hair and come out, once he saw him, his eyes straightened again.
"Before you moved to live with me, you often sat here reading and writing," Ye Ji'an pointed to the writing desk by the door, "Now sit down."
Liang Xiao's eyes were still fixed on him, he was a little fascinated, and his expression was a little unclear, but he still sat down obediently.
Ye Ji'an smiled. He walked up to him and put his hands on Liang Xiao's shoulders, "It's not even eleven o'clock."
Liang Xiao nodded, "If senior is not sleepy, we can watch a movie."
"Do you want to watch a movie?"
"I can do it."
"...Hey, you," Ye Ji'an was anxious, and sat directly on his lap, with his knees bent and his feet hanging in the air, his arms wrapped around his neck, "If it's because I didn't prepare anything, I'll bite the head office for you. Right..." He leaned close to Liang Xiao's ear, "Blowjob without oil or condom."
